Such a slot machine 1 is configured to be able to execute the following slot machine games by the main control unit 10.
At the start of the game, the number of bets is set using medals (including credit medals).
The number of bets can be set by directly inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 2 or by pressing the 3-bet button 2a or the 2-bet button 2b.

In the method of inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 2 to set the number of bets, the inserted medals are detected by the medal selector 2d provided on the back surface of the front door 1a, so that the bets corresponding to the number of inserted medals are bet. The number (however, the upper limit is 3 bets corresponding to 3 medals) will be set. When a medal exceeding 3 bets is inserted, it is internally stored as data as a credit medal.

When the 2-bet button 2b is pressed (first operation), the number of medals corresponding to two medals is subtracted from the credit medals internally stored as data, and the number of medals used for one game is subtracted. The amount made will be set as 2 bets (the number of first game media). Similarly, when the 3-bet button 2a is pressed (second operation), the number of medals corresponding to three medals is subtracted from the credit medals internally stored as data. The subtracted amount is set as 3 bets (the number of second game media).
By providing a 1-bet button for setting the number of medals corresponding to one bet button, the 1-bet button may be set as 2 bets by pressing the 1-bet button twice, and the 1-bet button may be pressed 3 times. May be set as 3 bets.
Further, credit medals are added by inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 2 or winning a prize, and for example, up to 50 medals can be credited (stored).

In this way, the number of bets set by the direct insertion from the medal insertion slot 2 or the pressing operation of each bet button is stored in a storage means such as a RAM provided in the main control unit 10.
Then, when the number of bets that can be executed once is reached, the game can be started.
In the state where the game can be started, the operation of the start lever 3 is effective. In this valid state, when the start lever 3 is tilted, the game is started, the reels 41a to 41c on which a plurality of symbols are represented start to fluctuate, and a plurality of replay roles, small roles, bonus roles, etc. are started. An internal lottery process is executed in which the lottery result of the game is determined in advance before the reel 41 is stopped from among the winning combinations (including loss).
In the internal lottery process, the winning combination of the game this time is determined by lottery from a plurality of winning combinations based on a predetermined winning probability.

Each reel 41a to 41c is an example of variable display means, and on the peripheral surface of each reel 41a to 41c, as a plurality of (for example, 20) symbols serving as identification information, for example, "replay" and "bell". , "Cherry", "Red 7", "White 7", etc. are represented, and after gradually increasing the rotation speed from the stopped state, it reaches a steady rotation that rotates at a constant speed.
When such steady rotation is reached, the stop buttons 105a to 105c provided corresponding to the reels 41a to 41c are in a state in which the push operation can be performed.

The stop buttons 105a to 105c are examples of operating means for performing a stop operation of the reel 41, and for example, a light emitting means such as an LED built in the stop buttons 105a to 105c is turned on to enable a pressing operation. When each stop button 5 is pressed in such a state, the reels 41a to 41c are stopped and controlled so as to stop at a combination of symbols allowed by the operation timing and the lottery result of the internal lottery process. Reel.

Then, after the third reel stop operation, as a result of determining the combination of the symbols stopped on the predetermined winning line as a result of the game, it is determined that the winning is won when the combination of the predetermined symbols is obtained, and the game corresponding to the combination of the symbols is determined. Value is given.
The third reel refers to a reel in which the stop operation of the three reels 41a to 41c is performed once each for a total of three times, and the stop operation is performed in the final third operation. Further, the term "after the third reel stop operation" means after the time when the player releases the finger or the like from the stop button 5 which has been stopped to stop the third reel.

In the stopped state of the reel 41, the three symbols represented on the reels 41a to 41c are visually stopped from the outside of the machine (also referred to as "stop display"), and whether or not a prize is won is determined based on the stop display mode at this time. It is judged.
For example, in the present embodiment, the winning judgment is based on the combination of the symbols stopped on any of the five winning lines, that is, the upper / middle / lower line, the downward-sloping line, and the upward-sloping line. The presence or absence is determined. The number of winning lines for determining winning is not limited to five lines, and can be appropriately changed depending on the arrangement configuration of symbols, the type of symbols, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination, and the like.

The combination of symbols to be determined corresponds to, for example, a small combination, a replay combination, a bonus combination, and the like.
Small roles include, for example, a bell role, a watermelon role, and a cherry role.
In the following explanation, the role of watermelon and the role of cherry are collectively referred to as "rare role".

The bell role is provided with two roles in which the corresponding combinations of symbols are different. For example, the combination of the corresponding symbols is "bell replay bell" in the order of "left reel 41a, middle reel 41b, right reel 41c" on the winning line (same below), and "common bell". A "push order bell" called "bell bell bell" can be provided.

The "common bell" stops the combination of the corresponding symbols regardless of the operation order (hereinafter, also referred to as the push order) for the stop buttons 105a to 105c, and the "push order bell" corresponds by following a specific push order. The combination of symbols stops.

Further, in the "push-order bell", one of the six push-orders (for example, "105a-> 105b-> 105c", "105c-> 105b-> 105a", etc.) can be used according to one (1/6) push order. By operating the stop buttons 105a to 105c, six "push-order bells 1 to 6" are provided in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped and displayed.

Then, when each push order bell 1 to 6 is won during the AT described later, the push order corresponding to each may be notified.
As an example of notification of the push order, for example, when the "push order bell 1" is won among the "push order bells 1 to 6" (when the stop button 5 is operated in the order of "105a → 105b → 105c", the push order is pushed. (When the combination of symbols corresponding to the forward bell 1 is stopped), the display 8 displays "1", "2", "3", etc. from left to right, and the navigation lamp 12 is displayed. Lights up in the order of 12a (left), 12b (middle), and 12c (right), and the speaker 9 outputs the respective sounds in the order of "left", "middle", and "right". In this embodiment, the operation display displayed on the display 8 is also referred to as "push order navigation".
In this way, the output means such as the display 8, the navigation lamp 12, and the speaker 9 navigate the operation for the stop button 5.

When the player operates the stop button 5 according to the push order navigation, the combination of symbols corresponding to the "push order bell 1"("bell bell bell") is stopped and displayed, and the specified number of medals is displayed. Medal will be paid out.
On the other hand, when "Pushing order bells 1 to 6" is won and the stop button 5 is operated according to the other 5 ways (5/6) of pushing order without following the pushing order navigation, the corresponding symbol combination ("Bell Bell Bell") is not stopped and displayed, a combination of predetermined symbols such as "Bell Bell Replay" (hereinafter referred to as "Bell Spilled Eye") is stopped and displayed, and the specified number of medals are paid. It will not be issued.

If the "push order bell" is won, regardless of the stop button 5 to be operated second or third, if only the stop button 5 to be operated first follows a specific push order, the "push order bell" is selected. It is also possible to control the stop of the reel 41 so that the combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped. In this case, the "pushing order bell" is not limited to 6 ways, and may be 3 kinds of "pushing order bells 1 to 3".

The watermelon role is a small role in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is "watermelon / watermelon / watermelon".
For the role of watermelon, the combination of "watermelon, watermelon, watermelon" is displayed as a stop on either the downward-sloping line or the upward-sloping line, "weak watermelon", the upper line, the middle line, And, among the lower lines, "strong watermelon" is set to stop and display.

The cherry role is a small role in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is "cherry / ANY / ANY" (however, ANY is an arbitrary symbol).
For the role of cherry, the cherry symbol stops at the "upper" or "lower" of the left reel 41a, the watermelon symbol stops at the "middle" of the right reel 41c, and the cherry symbol stops at the "middle" of the left reel 41a. There is provided a "strong cherry" that stops at the "upper" or "lower" and the red 7 or white 7 symbol stops at the "middle" of the left reel 41c.

The replay role is a small role in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is "replay / replay / replay".
The replay combination is a so-called "normal replay" in which combinations of symbols are aligned regardless of the push order, but a so-called "push order replay" in which combinations of symbols are aligned can also be provided by following a specific push order.

The bonus combination has two combinations with different combinations of corresponding symbols, and the corresponding symbol combination is "Red 7, Red 7, White 7", "Bonus A", and the corresponding symbol. "Bonus B" is provided in which the combination of "white 7, white 7, red 7" is provided.
In addition, the bonus combination becomes a target role of carry-over control that can carry over the winning right as long as the combination of the corresponding symbols is not stopped in the winning game and the games after the winning game by the main control unit 10. There is. Therefore, the established state of the bonus winning is maintained until the bonus combination is won by stopping the combination of the corresponding symbols (hereinafter, this gaming state is referred to as the bonus winning state).

In the slot machine 1, a game setting value associated with a winning probability of a specific winning combination among the winning combinations drawn by the main control unit 10 (lottery means) can be set by an external operation (manual) (setting value setting means (manually). Setting button) is provided.
For example, the winning probability of a specific winning combination is divided into four stages from a low winning probability to a high winning probability, and each stage corresponds to the set values 1, 2, 5, and 6, respectively. Can be changed to the winning probability according to each set value.
In this case, the probability that a specific winning combination is won is set higher when the setting value 6 is set than when the setting value 1 is set, and as a result, the setting value 1 is set. It is controlled so that the slot machine game proceeds more advantageously when the set value 6 is set than.
Although the game setting value can be set in 4 stages, the game setting value is not limited to this, and is not limited to this, for example, as 6 stages (setting value 1 to setting value 6) or 3 stages (setting value 1, setting value 3, setting value 6). May be good.

Based on the combination of symbols as described above, the winning of the small winning combination, the replay winning combination, and the bonus winning combination is determined, and as a result of the determination, when the combination of the symbols corresponding to each winning combination is obtained, each winning combination is determined. The medal will be paid out.
The "dividend table" shown in FIG. 4 defines each winning combination and the number of medals to be paid out when each winning combination is won.
As shown in FIG. 4, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the common bell is stopped and displayed in the bell combination, the number of medals paid out differs according to the number of bets set at the start of the game. For example, in a game executed with a 3-bet set (3-bet game), 3 medals are paid out, and in a game executed with a 2-bet set (hereinafter, a 2-bet game), 2 medals are paid out. One medal will be paid out.
In addition, when the stop buttons 105a to 105c are operated in a specific push order (one push order) when the "push order bells 1 to 6" are won, the combination of the corresponding symbols stops, the number of bets is counted. Regardless, 10 medals will be paid out.
On the other hand, when the stop buttons 105a to 105c are operated in a push order other than a specific push order (five push orders) at the time of winning the "push order bells 1 to 6", the combination of the corresponding symbols is not stopped. The bell spills stop and the specified number of medals are not paid out. For example, 9 or less medals (less than the specified number) are paid out.

In addition, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the watermelon combination is stopped and displayed, one medal is paid out regardless of the number of bets.
In addition, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the cherry combination is stopped and displayed, one medal is paid out regardless of the number of bets.
The number of medals to be paid out when the combination of symbols corresponding to each combination is stopped and displayed may be other than the above number.
In addition, the stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay combination determines the replay combination, and the game can be replayed without inserting medals in the next game.

In addition, the stop display of the combination of the bonus symbols corresponding to the bonus combination shifts to the bonus.
Bonus A is a winning combination that is subject to lottery during the 3-bet game and while staying at RT1 in the RT state.
Further, the bonus A is a state in which the common bell is won, and ends when the number of medals paid out reaches a predetermined number (for example, 21).
Therefore, during the bonus A, the 3-bet game continues for 8 games, and the medals do not increase or decrease. Therefore, the number of medals (net increase) actually increased during the bonus A is, for example, 0.

Bonus B is a winning combination that is subject to lottery during the 2-bet game and while staying at RT1 in the RT state.
Further, the bonus B is a state in which the common bell is won, and ends when the number of medals paid out reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10).
Therefore, during the bonus B, the 2-bet game continues for 6 games and the medals do not increase or decrease, so that the number of medals actually increased during the bonus B (net increase number) is, for example, 0.
The bonus A and the bonus B may be, for example, a so-called SB (single bonus) that ends in a predetermined number of games (for example, one game) without carrying over control of the bonus winning state.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the winning probability of each winning combination will be described.
FIG. 5 shows the winning probabilities of the winning combinations of the 3-bet game and the 2-bet game in the RT state (RT1, RT2) and the bonus A.
In the "internal lottery table" shown in FIG. 5, the acquisition range (number) of random number values acquired in the internal lottery process by the main control unit 10 is 65536, and the number of winning values (winning) is shown.
The "internal lottery table" shown in FIG. 5 assumes a common case for all set values, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the winning probability of each winning combination may be different depending on the set values. For example, the higher the setting, the higher the winning probability of each winning combination, or the higher the setting, the lower the winning probability of some or all of the winning combinations.

As shown in FIG. 5, the winning probabilities of each winning combination in the 3-bet game are as follows.
In each of the "pushing order bells 1 to 6", the winning probability is set to 6687/65536 in RT1 and RT2.
In the "common bell", the winning probability is set to 65536/65536 in the bonus A. That is, during bonus A, only the common bell wins.
"Weak cherry" has a winning probability of 829/65536 in RT1 and RT2, and "strong cherry" has a winning probability of 199/65536 in RT1 and RT2, and is "weak watermelon". In RT1 and RT2, the winning probability is set to 819/65536, and in "strong watermelon", the winning probability is set to 149/65536 in RT1 and RT2.

In the "normal replay", the winning probability is set to 5236/65536 in RT1 and the winning probability is set to 11947/65536 in RT2.
"Freeze replay" has a winning probability of 4/65536 set in RT2, "Red 7 replay" has a winning probability of 3276/65536 set in RT2, and "White 7 replay" has a winning probability of 3276/65536. In RT2, the winning probability is set to 1638/65536, and the overlapping winning probability of "normal replay" and "bonus A" is set to 1318/65536 in RT1.
Further, when a random number value other than the winning combination is extracted, the lottery result becomes "missing", and the winning probability is set to 16864/65536 in RT1 and the winning probability is set to 11471/65536 in RT2. There is.

With the winning probability as described above, the lottery of each winning combination at the time of executing the 3-bet game in RT1, RT2 and bonus A is performed.
Therefore, the winning probability of "normal replay" is higher in RT2 than in RT1, and the probability of "missing" is also lower in RT2 than in RT1, so that the game is advantageous to the player in RT2. Will be executed.
In addition, since the winning probability of "push order bells 1 to 6" is set to a relatively high probability in RT1 and RT2, medals increase at a predetermined rate by performing push order navigation during AT. Will be done.
Further, as will be described later, since the bonus has already been won while staying at RT2, if the player shifts to RT2 during the 3-bet game, the RT2 will not win the "bonus A". Further, in the 3-bet game, it is set not to win "Bonus B".

As shown in FIG. 5, the winning probabilities of each winning combination in the 2-bet game are as follows.
In each of the "pushing order bells 1 to 6", the winning probability is set to 668/65536 in RT1 and RT2.
In the "common bell", the winning probability is set to 65536/65536 in the bonus B. That is, during Bonus B, only the common bell wins.
"Weak cherry" has a winning probability of 828/65536 in RT1 and RT2, and "strong cherry" has a winning probability of 198/65536 in RT1 and RT2, and is "weak watermelon". In RT1 and RT2, the winning probability is set to 817/65536, and in "strong watermelon", the winning probability is set to 148/65536 in RT1 and RT2.

In RT2, the winning probability of "normal replay" is set to 16384/65536, and the overlapping winning probability of "normal replay" and "bonus B" is set to 6553/65536 in RT1.
Further, when a random number value other than the winning combination is extracted, the lottery result becomes "missing", and the winning probability is set to 52984/65536 in RT1 and the winning probability is set to 43153/65536 in RT2. There is.

With the winning probability as described above, the lottery of each winning combination at the time of executing the 2-bet game in RT1, RT2 and Bonus B is performed.
In the 2-bet game, the winning probability of "pushing order bells 1 to 6" is set to be lower than that of the 3-bet game, and the winning probability of "missing" is set to be higher. The number of medals will decrease, and the game will proceed at a disadvantage to the player.
Further, as will be described later, since the bonus has already been won while staying at RT2, if the player shifts to RT2 during the 2-bet game, the RT2 will not win the "bonus B". Further, in the 2-bet game, it is set not to win the "bonus A".

In addition to such a configuration, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment controls the transition of the gaming state such as RT and AT by operating the main control unit 10 as the gaming state controlling means.
FIG. 6 is a transition diagram of the RT state.
As shown in FIG. 6, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has RT1 and RT2 as states corresponding to the winning probability of the replay combination in the internal lottery process.
The RT1 is set to win the replay combination with a predetermined probability (for example, 1 / 12.5) in the internal lottery process, and is a gaming state that is more disadvantageous to the player than the RT2 in the winning probability of the replay combination.
The entry into RT1 is the system reset of the slot machine 1, the change of the game setting value (including the case where the same game setting value is reset (the game setting value is reset)), and the bonus (bonus A or bonus B). It is performed with the end as an opportunity, and then shifts to RT1 (arrow a in FIG. 6).
Further, the end of RT1 is triggered by the winning of bonus A in the 3-bet game or the winning of bonus B in the 2-bet game, and then the transition from RT1 to RT2 (arrow b in FIG. 6).
As described above, RT1 is not a finite gaming state in which the gaming period is predetermined, but is an infinite gaming state (infinite RT) that does not shift to another gaming state unless a bonus is won.

RT2 is set to win the replay combination with a higher probability (for example, 1 / 2.0) than RT1 in the internal lottery process, and is in a gaming state more advantageous to the player than RT1 in the winning probability of the replay combination. be.
The entry into RT2 is triggered by the winning of a bonus (bonus A or bonus B), and then the transition from RT1 to RT2 (arrow b in FIG. 6).
The end of RT2 is triggered by the end of the bonus A winning state in the 3-bet game (bonus A winning) or the end of the bonus B winning state in the 2-bet game (bonus B winning). After that, the transition from RT2 to the bonus (arrow c in FIG. 6).
That is, RT2 is designed to continue from winning the bonus role until the bonus is generated (bonus winning), and during RT2, the game progresses in the state where the bonus role is internally won (bonus winning state). Will be done.
As described above, RT2 is not a finite gaming state in which the gaming period is predetermined, but is an infinite gaming state (infinite RT) that does not shift to another gaming state unless a bonus is generated.

As described above, in the present embodiment, a plurality of RTs having different advantages are provided, and by winning the bonus during RT1, the RT1 that is relatively disadvantageous to the player is shifted to the RT2 that is relatively advantageous to the player, and the bonus during RT2. It has the game nature of shifting from RT2 to a bonus by winning a prize.
However, since the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a specification that does not allow the player to perform a push operation for winning the bonus B during RT2, the probability of shifting from RT2 to bonus B (winning bonus B). Is extremely low.
As a result, even if the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment wins the bonus B, the game proceeds in a state controlled by the RT2.
Although the number of RTs in this embodiment is two, it may be one or three or more.
Further, RT0 may be provided at the time of system reset (including when the setting is changed) of the slot machine 1. In this case, the transition from RT0 to RT1 may be, for example, a stop display of a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined winning combination (stop display when a push order bell is won, etc.) or a combination of symbols not corresponding to a predetermined winning combination. It may be easy to shift by the stop display (stop display of spilled eyes such as when the push order bell is won) or the like.

FIG. 7 is a state transition diagram of the gaming state according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 7, the gaming state includes a normal state and an AT stage, and these are divided into a normal section and an advantageous section.
The normal state includes a normal state A and a normal state B.
The normal state A (first gaming state) is classified into a normal section in which a lottery for transition to an advantageous section is performed, and the normal state B is classified into an advantageous section in which processing related to transition to AT is performed.

The AT has a stage (second game state) executed before the ending (ED) such as Momotarou Bonus (MB), Chance Zone (CZ), and Momotarou Chance (MC), and an ending (third game state). be.
In the AT, the main control unit 10 and the sub control unit 20 operate as the effect executing means, so that when the "push order replay" or the "push order bell" is won, the push order or the push order for the stop button 5 is used as a guideline. An effect (push order navigation) is performed in which a symbol or the like is notified by a display means such as a display device 8.
As a result, the AT can stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the "push order replay" and the "push order bell", which is more advantageous than the normal game.
During AT, the push order navigation is continuously executed until the set specified number of games is exhausted (until the number of remaining games becomes "0").
Further, the AT has a specification that the 3-bet game is an appropriate game form and a predetermined regulation is applied when the 2-bet game is played.
Specifically, during AT, even if a two-bet game is played, push order navigation, AT continuation lottery, and the like are not carried out.
Therefore, if a two-bet game is played during AT, the number of remaining games does not decrease, but the player cannot receive the benefits of AT, which is a disadvantage.
The state of AT and RT2 is a gaming state in which the winning probability of the replay combination is high, and is a gaming state (ART) in which a prize such as "push order replay" or "push order bell" is assisted.

The main control unit 10 controls the transition between the normal section and the advantageous section.
The transition from the normal section (normal state A) to the advantageous section (normal state B) is performed when a winning combination other than "loss" is won in the internal lottery process in the 3-bet game in the normal state A (Fig.). Arrow a) of 7.
Specifically, in the case of "loss", the normal section (normal state A) is maintained, while in the case of winning a winning combination other than "loss", the normal section (normal state A) is advantageous. It shifts to (normal state B).
In the 3-bet game, the probability of winning a winning combination other than "loss" is "1 / 1.2 = (65536-11471) / 65536" (see FIG. 5), which is a high probability.
Therefore, in the normal state, the period of stay in the normal state A is extremely short, and the player stays in the gaming state B until the AT shifts to the AT.
Not limited to this, the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section is, for example, a stop display of a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined winning combination (stop display when the push order bell is won, etc.) or a predetermined winning combination. The transition may be made by a stop display of a combination of symbols that does not correspond to the above (stop display of bell spilled eyes when the push order bell is won, etc.).
In addition, basically, it is assumed that the transition from the normal section (normal state A) to the advantageous section (normal state B) is not performed during the 2-bet game, but the transition is not limited to this. You may.

The transition from the advantageous section to the normal section is performed based on the number of games played and the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section reaching the specified values (see arrow g in FIG. 7).
Specifically, by operating the main control unit 10 as the third counting means, the game is executed in the advantageous section (the specific gaming state including the second gaming state and the third gaming state) consisting of the normal state B and each AT. Count the number of times you have played (the number of games).
The third counting means is a means for counting the number of games in the advantageous section (number of games in the advantageous section) regardless of the number of bets, and counts not only the number of executions of the 3-bet game but also the number of executions of the 2-bet game.
Then, when the number of advantageous section games reaches the specified upper limit number of times (1500 times, the number of second games of the present invention), the main control unit 10 shifts the advantageous section to the normal section.
The transition from the advantageous section to the normal section is also executed when the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section (the number of acquired medals in the advantageous section) reaches the specified upper limit number (2400).
The maximum number of times and the maximum number of sheets in the advantageous section are also referred to as limiters, and the number of limiters and the number of limiters can be arbitrarily set.
The transition from the advantageous section to the normal section may be triggered by the end of the chance zone or ending, as will be described later.
When the number of advantageous section games or the number of advantageous section acquisitions reaches the number of limiters or the number of limiters, the number of remaining AT games being executed, the number of games being counted, the number of medals acquired, etc. are deleted (initialization). Will be).

During the advantageous section, the advantageous section lamp 13 is basically turned on.
In addition, in order to prevent a decrease in playability, the lights may be turned on only when the number of medals is actually expected to increase.
For example, during the normal state B, which is an advantageous section, the advantageous section lamp 13 may be turned off and turned on only during the momotarou bonus, chance zone, momotarou chance, and ending.

Each game state and transition control will be described.
Unless otherwise specified, the transition timing from each gaming state to another gaming state is basically after the third reel stop operation of the game in which the transition condition is satisfied. In addition, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the transition condition is satisfied, the transition may be made from the next game.

(Normal state)
The normal state is controlled by non-AT, and by continuing the game, the medals held by the player gradually decrease, which is a disadvantageous game state for the player.
The normal state has a normal state A (first gaming state) which is a normal section and a normal state B which is an advantageous section.
The normal state A stays when the game set value is changed (including the retouching of the game set value) at the time of system reset of the slot machine 1 and when the limiter of the advantageous section is reached.
In the normal state A, when a winning combination other than "loss" is won, the main control unit 10 controls to shift from the normal state A to the normal state B (arrow a in FIG. 7).

In the normal state B, a lottery process for shifting to the Momotarou bonus is executed every game.
Specifically, the main control unit 10 performs a transition lottery to AT by referring to the "AT transition lottery table" shown in FIG. 8 when the rare role is won in the normal state B (AT). Transition lottery process).
For example, winning with a probability of 4/256 when winning "weak cherry", winning with a probability of 64/256 when winning "strong cherry", winning with a probability of 2/256 when winning "weak watermelon", It is set to win with a probability of 64/256 when the "strong watermelon" is won, and if any of these is won, the normal state B shifts to AT (Momotaro bonus) (arrow b in FIG. 7). ..
The transition from the normal state B to the Momotarou bonus is, specifically, automatic so that the symbols "White 7", "White 7", and "White 7" are aligned on each reel in the next game of the game that won the AT transition lottery. It can be executed after it is stopped.
Apart from the "AT transition lottery", the main control unit 10 controls the transition to the AT even when the number of games in the normal state B reaches the upper limit number (the number of ceilings).
Therefore, even if the "AT transition lottery" is not won during the normal state B, the game shifts to the AT when the number of games in the normal state reaches the ceiling number (for example, 1000 times).
When the number of games reaches the number of ceilings, a lottery for shifting to AT may be performed based on a predetermined winning probability.
Further, the triggering role of the transition lottery to AT may be other than the rare role, and for example, the transition lottery may be won with a predetermined probability when the replay role or the bell role is won.
Further, in the AT transition lottery, the higher the game setting value currently set in the slot machine 1, the higher the winning probability may be.

(Momotaro Bonus)
The Momotarou Bonus is the first stage to stay after entering the AT.
The momotarou bonus is controlled by the AT, and the push order is notified with a predetermined probability (for example, 100%). Therefore, during the Momotarou bonus, the player is in an advantageous gaming state where an increase in medals can be expected.
The Momotarou Bonus allows you to stay until you have completed 20 games.
Then, when the number of games in the Momotarou bonus is exhausted (the number of remaining games becomes "0"), the main control unit 10 controls to shift from the Momotarou bonus to the chance zone (arrow c in FIG. 7). ).
In the Momotarou bonus, a predetermined number of games may be added to the specified number of games (the number of remaining games). For example, if the extra lottery is won by taking the opportunity of winning the role of rare, the stay of the stage may be extended by adding a predetermined number of games to the number of remaining games. ..

During the Momotarou bonus, the sub-control unit 20 operates as an effect executing means to perform an effect (AT in-time effect) of displaying push order navigation, game information, and the like on the display 8.
FIG. 9A is a display screen of the display 8 at the start of the Momotarou bonus.
During the Momotarou bonus, the push order navigation is displayed, but other than that, the same screen as the display screen at the start of the Momotarou bonus is displayed on the display 8 (not shown).
FIG. 9B is a display screen (result screen) of the display 8 at the end of the Momotarou bonus.
As shown in these figures, during the Momotarou bonus, a character indicating the transition and stay of the Momotarou bonus, and the number of medals won (3 bets won) in the advantageous section are displayed during AT.
The number of 3-bet acquisitions means the number of medals acquired in the 3-bet game.
The number of medals won means the difference (difference number) between the number of medals inserted and the number of medals paid out.
By reducing the number and types of characters relatively, this AT-time effect is more modest than the ending effect described later (see FIGS. 14 to 16).
In addition to or instead of the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section, the number of medals acquired in the Momotarou bonus can also be displayed.
Further, although the result screen is supposed to be displayed from the operation of the third stop button in the final game of the Momotarou bonus to the start of the next game, it may be displayed over the next game. It is also possible to display only the next game.

(Chance zone)
The chance zone is a stage that enters after the end of the Momotarou bonus, and is controlled by the AT.
The chance zone continues until the set specified number of games is exhausted (until the number of remaining games becomes "0"), and during this time, the push order navigation for the push order bell is performed.
Specifically, 32 games are continued, and push order navigation is performed with a predetermined probability (for example, 100%).
In the chance zone, a predetermined number of games may be added to the specified number of games (the number of remaining games). For example, if the extra lottery is won by taking the opportunity of winning the role of rare, the stay of the stage may be extended by adding a predetermined number of games to the number of remaining games. ..
Further, in the present embodiment, the chance zone is set to AT, but it can also be set to non-AT.

Further, in the chance zone, a continuous lottery process for determining whether or not to shift to the Momotarou chance (AT), that is, whether or not to continue the AT, is executed every game.
Specifically, the main control unit 10 draws a lottery as to whether or not the transition to the Momotarou chance is successful by referring to the "AT continuous lottery table" shown in FIG. 9 based on the winning combination won in the game this time.
For example, if you win the "Push Order Bell", you will win with a probability of 12/256, if you win the "Weak Cherry", you will win with the probability of 25/256, and if you win the "Strong Cherry", you will win with the probability of 256/256. , "Weak watermelon" will be won with a probability of 25/256, "Strong watermelon" will be won with a probability of 256/256, and other winners will be won with a probability of 2/256. Is set to.
If you win the lottery to move to Momotarou Chance, a lottery will also be held to determine the number of bell navigations in Momotarou Chance, which is the stage to continue.
For example, the number of times of "10 games", "20 games" and "30 games" is provided, and it is set to win with a probability of 60%, 30% and 10%, respectively.
The number of bell navigations in Momotarou Chance can also be determined based on the game setting value currently set in the slot machine 1. For example, a high setting can be set so that a large number of games can be easily selected.
Then, when the lottery for transition to Momotarou Chance is won, the main control unit 10 controls to shift to Momotarou Chance after exhausting the number of games in the running stage (arrow d in FIG. 7). Transition to Momotarou Chance If the lottery is not won, the game is controlled to transition to the normal state A (normal section) after the number of games in the running stage is exhausted (arrow g in FIG. 7).

During the chance zone, the sub-control unit 20 operates as an effect executing means to perform an effect (AT in-time effect) of displaying push order navigation, game information, and the like on the display 8.
FIG. 11A is a display screen of the display 8 at the start of the chance zone.
During the chance zone, the push order navigation is displayed, but other than that, the same screen as the display screen at the start of the chance zone is displayed on the display 8 (not shown).
FIG. 11B is a display screen (result screen) of the display 8 at the end of the chance zone.
As shown in these figures, during the chance zone, a character indicating the transition or stay of the chance zone, and the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section (the number of acquired 3 bets) are displayed during the AT.
By reducing the number and types of characters relatively, this AT-time effect is more modest than the ending effect described later (see FIGS. 14 to 16).
In addition to or instead of the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section, the total number of medals acquired during AT and the number of medals acquired in the chance zone can be displayed.
Further, although the result screen is supposed to be displayed between the operation of the third stop button in the final game of the chance zone and the start of the next game, it may be displayed over the next game. It is also possible to display only the next game.

(Momotaro Chance)
The momotarou chance is controlled by the AT, and the push order is notified with a predetermined probability. Therefore, during the Momotarou chance, the player is in an advantageous gaming state where an increase in medals can be expected.
The Momotarou chance is managed by the number of times the push order navigation of the push order bell occurs (the number of bell navigations), and it is possible to stay until the number of bell navigations becomes "0".
Then, when the number of bell navigations becomes "0", the main control unit 10 controls to shift from the Momotarou chance to the chance zone (arrow e in FIG. 7).
As described above, since the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment returns to the chance zone again when the momotarou chance ends, it has a playability of a type that loops between the chance zone and the momotarou chance to increase the number of balls.

During the Momotarou chance, the sub-control unit 20 operates as an effect executing means to perform an effect of displaying game information on the display 8 (effect during AT).
FIG. 12A is a display screen of the display 8 at the start of the Momotarou chance.
During the Momotarou chance, the push order navigation is displayed, but other than that, the same screen as the display screen at the start of the Momotarou chance is displayed on the display unit 8.
FIG. 12B is a display screen (result screen) of the display 8 at the end of the Momotarou chance.
As shown in these figures, during the Momotarou chance, a character indicating the transition and stay of the Momotarou chance, the number of remaining bell navigations, and the number of medals won in the advantageous section (the number of 3 bets won) are displayed during the AT.
By reducing the number and types of characters relatively, this AT-time effect is more modest than the ending effect described later (see FIGS. 14 to 16).
In addition to or instead of the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section, the total number of medals acquired during AT and the number of medals acquired during Momotarou Chance can be displayed.
Further, although the result screen is supposed to be displayed between the operation of the third stop button in the final game of Momotarou Chance and the start of the next game, it may be displayed over the next game. It is also possible to display only the next game.

(ending)
The ending is a stage that shifts when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied in the advantageous section, and is a stage that stays at the end of the advantageous section.
During the ending, it is controlled by the AT, and the push order is notified with a predetermined probability (for example, 100%). Therefore, during the ending, the player is in an advantageous gaming state where an increase in medals can be expected.
In the ending, a predetermined number of games (20 games) is given, and when the game of the number of games is executed (the number of remaining games becomes "0"), the main control unit 10 ends the ending. It is controlled to shift to the normal state A (arrow h in FIG. 7).

The ending transition conditions include a game number condition and an acquisition number condition.
The game number condition is a condition that the number of games in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined number of games.
Specifically, by operating as the first counting means, the main control unit 10 operates in an advantageous section (predetermined gaming state) consisting of a normal state B, a momotarou bonus, a chance zone, and a momotarou chance (second gaming state). Count the number of games played in the bet game (number of 3-bet games). That is, the first counting means counts only the number of 3-bet games and does not count the number of games other than 3-bets such as the number of 2-bet games.
Further, the counting value (number of 3-bet games) by the first counting means is initialized (becomes 0) when the advantageous section ends.
Then, the main control unit 10 operates as the game state control means, so that the number of games counted by the first counting means (the number of 3-bet games) is 1470 times (the number of games satisfying the number of games: the number of first games). ) Is reached, control is performed to shift the gaming state to the ending (third gaming state).
It is also possible to control the transition to the ending when the number of 3-bet games in the advantageous section (AT excluding the ending) consisting of the momotarou bonus excluding the normal state B, the chance zone, and the momotarou chance reaches 1470 times.
The acquisition number condition is a condition that the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined number of acquisitions.
Specifically, by operating as the second counting means, the main control unit 10 operates in an advantageous section (predetermined gaming state) consisting of a normal state B, a momotarou bonus, a chance zone, and a momotarou chance (second gaming state). Count the number of medals won (3 bets won) in the bet game. That is, the second counting means counts only the number of 3-bet acquisitions and does not count the number of medals acquired other than 3-bets such as the number of 2-bet acquisitions.
Then, when the number of medals acquired by the second counting means (the number of acquired 3 bets) reaches 2250 (the number of medals acquired satisfying the number of acquired medals), the main control unit 10 shifts the gaming state to the ending. Control to do.
The maximum number of net increases per game (one 3-bet game) in the ending is assumed to be 5.
That is, in the ending, even if 20 3-bet games are properly executed, the number of limiters is 1500 and the number of limiters is 2400.
The number of games given to the ending is not limited to 20 and can be any number of games. Correspondingly, the number of games satisfying the number of games (first number of games) is set to any number of games. Alternatively, the number of medals that satisfy the number of acquisitions can be set to any number.

(Ending production according to the number of medals won at the time of entering the ending)
During the ending, the sub-control unit 20 operates as an effect executing means to perform an effect (ending effect) of displaying game information (for example, the number of remaining games, the number of acquired games, etc.) on the display 8.
Further, in the ending effect, the effect is performed according to the number of medals acquired when the ending transition condition is satisfied, that is, the number of medals acquired at the time of ending transition (rushing).
Specifically, when the number of 3-bet games in the advantageous section reaches 1470 times, the ending corresponding to the number of 3-bet acquisitions at the time of reaching is referred to from the endings A to D with reference to the ending determination table of FIG. A determination to select (ending transition determination) is performed, and the process shifts (controls) to the selected ending through this determination.
For example, if the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2000 or more, the process shifts to Ending A, and if the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 1500 to 1999, the standard value shifts to Ending B, and the number of 3-bet acquisitions is the standard value. If the number of cards is 1000 to 1499, the game shifts to the ending C, and if the number of 3-bet winnings is 999 or less, the game shifts to the ending D.
Further, when the number of 3-bet acquisitions reaches the reference value of 2250 and the ending is started (when the acquisition number condition is satisfied), the ending A is started.
The sub-control unit 20 corresponds to the endings A to D, and performs different ending effects (third effects).

14 to 17 are production screens of each ending effect in endings A to D.
14 (a) and 14 (a) are screens at the start of the ending, and each (b) is a screen (result screen) at the end of the ending.
During the ending, the push order navigation is displayed, but other than that, the same screen as the display screen at the start of the ending is displayed on the display unit 8.
As shown in these figures, during each ending of endings A to D, the characters and symbols indicating the transition and stay of the ending, the number of remaining AT games, and the number of medals won in the advantageous section (number of 3 bets won) are displayed. The ending production is performed.
The ending effect is more gorgeous than the above-mentioned AT-time effect by increasing the number and types of characters relatively and adopting flashy patterns (see FIGS. 9, 11 and 12).
In addition, in the ending production of endings A to C, the gorgeousness of the production is made to be ending A> ending B> ending C by making the number, type, etc. of the characters and symbols different from each other.
In other words, the larger the number of medals acquired at the time of entering the ending, the more gorgeous the ending effect is performed, and the smaller the number of medals acquired at the time of entering the ending, the more modest the ending effect is performed.
Therefore, for example, when the player confirms the number of medals acquired at the time of entering the ending on the display 8 (see “number of medals acquired” in each (a) of FIGS. 14 to 17), the number of medals acquired is small. However, there is no sense of incongruity due to the disagreement between the number of medals won and the ending effect, and it is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from diminishing.
In addition to or instead of the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section, the total number of medals acquired during AT and the number of medals acquired during the ending can be displayed.
Further, although the result screen is supposed to be displayed from the operation of the third stop button in the final game of the ending to the start of the next game, it may be displayed over the next game, and the next game may be displayed. It is also possible to display only the game.

Further, the ending effect of the ending D is such that the effect at the AT immediately before the transition to the ending (the effect during the AT) is maintained.
For example, FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an effect screen of an ending effect when the process shifts to the ending D in the middle of the chance zone.
As can be seen by comparing FIGS. 11 and 17, the effect in the ending D is almost the same as the effect during AT in the chance zone, only the number of remaining games is not displayed.
In addition, instead of the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section of FIG. 17A, "400 medals acquired", "TOTAL 400 medals" can be displayed in the center of the screen.
As a result, the effect in the ending D and the effect during AT in the chance zone can be made more the same effect mode.
By doing so, even if the ending is entered with an extremely small number of medals won, it is possible to make it difficult to notice that the ending has been started.
That is, when the number of medals won is extremely small, it is possible for the player to proceed with the game without recognizing that the player has entered the ending, so that the atmosphere of the number of medals won and the ending effect does not match. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the player's interest in the game caused by the above.
As with the other endings, the ending effect of the ending D can be set to an effect mode different from that of the AT during AT before the transition.
In addition, the ending in which the number of 3-bet acquisitions reaches 2250 and shifts, and the ending in which the number of 3-bet games reaches 1470 games and shifts, and the number of 3-bet acquisitions at the time of transition reaches 2000 or more. Can be controlled to the ending of different effects instead of being controlled to the ending A together.

Such an ending transition determination will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 18, first, it is determined whether the ED flag is on or off (S101).
The ED flag is identification information regarding the ending stay managed in the RAM of the main control unit 10 or the sub control unit 20, and includes "on" information indicating the ending stay and "off" information indicating the ending non-stay.
In S101, when the ED flag is on (S101-Yes), since it is already in the ending state, the processing after S102 is not executed and ends.
During your stay at the ending, you will not re-enter the ending.
In S101, when the ED flag is off (S101-No), first, it is determined whether or not the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2250 or more (S102).
It is to determine whether or not the acquisition number condition, which is the transition condition of the ending, is satisfied.
Further, the determination of the acquisition number condition is prioritized over the determination of the game number condition (S103 described later).
In S102, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 2250 or more (S102-Yes), the ending A is controlled (S105) and the ED flag is turned on (S111).
When the ending is entered after satisfying the conditions for the number of acquisitions, the number of medals acquired at the time of entry is large, and a gorgeous ending is produced (see FIG. 14).
In S102, if the number of 3-bet acquisitions is less than 2250 (S102-No), the process proceeds to S103.
In S103, it is determined whether or not the number of 3-bet games is 1470.
It determines whether or not the number of games, which is the transition condition of the ending, is satisfied.
In S103, when the number of 3-bet games is 1470 (S103-Yes), it is determined whether or not the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2000 or more (S104).
This is because when the ending is entered by satisfying the game number condition, the ending is different according to the number of acquisitions at the time of entry.
In S103, if the number of 3-bet games is not 1470 (S103-No), the game ends. That is, in this case, since the transition condition is not satisfied, the transition is not performed to the ending.
In S104, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 2000 or more (S104-Yes), the ending A is controlled (S105) and the ED flag is turned on (S111).
If the number of medals won at the time of entering the ending is large, the ending will be shifted to an ending with a gorgeous ending effect (see FIG. 14).
In S104, when the number of 3 bets acquired is less than 2000 (S104-No), the process proceeds to S106.
In S106, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1500 or more and 1999 or less (S106-Yes), the ending B is controlled (S107) and the ED flag is turned on (S111).
It shifts to an ending that is more modest than ending A and has a more gorgeous ending effect than ending C (see FIG. 15).
In S106, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1500 or more and not 1999 or less (S106-No), that is, when 1499 or less, the process proceeds to S108.
In S108, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1000 or more and 1499 or less (S108-Yes), the ending C is controlled (S109) and the ED flag is turned on (S111).
It shifts to an ending that is more modest than ending B and has a more gorgeous ending effect than ending D (see FIG. 16).
In S108, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1000 or more and not 1499 or less (S108-No), that is, when 999 or less, the ending D is controlled (S110) and the ED flag is turned on (S108). S111).
In the ending effect, the effect mode of the effect during AT in the AT before the transition is maintained (see FIG. 17).
In addition, it shifts to the ending with the most modest ending effect among the endings A to D.

As described above, the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a normal state A (first game state), an advantageous section excluding the ending (second game state), and an ending (third game state). A game state control means that can control any of the game states among a plurality of game states including, and a first that can count the number of 3-bet games in an advantageous section (predetermined game state including the second game state). It includes a counting means, a second counting means capable of counting the number of three bets acquired in an advantageous section (a predetermined gaming state including the second gaming state), and an effect executing means capable of executing a predetermined effect.
Then, when the number of 3-bet games in the AT excluding the ending reaches the number of times satisfying the number of games (first number of games), the game state control means can control the game state to the ending, and 20 games in the ending. When the game is executed, the game state can be controlled to the normal state A, and the effect executing means is that the number of 3-bet acquisitions at the time when the number of 3-bet games in the advantageous section reaches the first number of games in the ending is When the number of cards is 2000 or more (second acquisition number), the effect of ending A (second effect) can be executed, and the three-bet acquisition when the number of three-bet games in the advantageous section reaches the first number of games is acquired. When the number is 1500 to 1999 (first acquired number), the effect of ending B (first effect) can be executed.
Further, the effect executing means can execute the effect during AT (third effect) different from the effect of ending A (first effect) and the effect of ending B (second effect) in AT.
Further, in the AT, when the number of 3-bet games in the advantageous section reaches the first number of games, the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 999 or less (the first acquisition number in claim 3). The effect of the ending D (the first effect in claim 3) can be executed, and the number of 3-bet acquisitions when the number of 3-bet games in the advantageous section reaches the first number of games is 2000 or more (in claim 3). In the case of the second acquisition number), the effect of the ending A (the second effect in claim 3) can be executed, but in the AT, the effect of the ending D (the first effect) can be executed.
The number of first acquisitions and the number of second acquisitions may be any number as long as the relationship of the number of first acquisitions <the number of second acquisitions is established.

That is, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a game property of shifting to the ending AT when the number of games in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined number of specific games, and the slot machine 1 has the playability of shifting to the ending AT. The ending effect to be executed is different depending on the number.
As a result, when the number of medals won when reaching a specific number of games is relatively large, it is possible to execute a gorgeous ending effect to congratulate the player, and the number of medals won when reaching a specific number of games is relative. If the number is small, a modest ending effect such as not blessing the player or blessing the player a little can be performed.
Therefore, it is possible to match the atmosphere of the number of medals won and the ending effect at the time of entering the ending, and it is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from being lowered.

On the other hand, Patent Document 1 specifies that the number of continuous games during AT is smaller than the number of special games in the slot machine that terminates AT when the number of continuous games of AT reaches the number of special games (1500 games, etc.). It is disclosed that the ending AT is controlled until the number of games (1250 games, etc.) is reached.
However, in the above slot machine, the small winning combination that is paid out during AT may not be won so much, and the number of medals won may be small at the time of shifting to the ending.
During the ending, a production to congratulate the player is performed. Therefore, if the ending is performed with a small number of medals acquired in this way, the atmosphere of the number of medals acquired and the ending production may not match.
For this reason, the player feels a sense of discomfort, and there is a risk that the interest will be reduced.
According to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, since the production mode of the ending effect is different depending on the number of medals acquired at the time of entering the ending, all or part of such problems that the conventional gaming machine should improve. Etc. can be solved.

(Ending transition judgment for AT life extension by 2-bet game)
The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can carry out an ending transition determination capable of coping with the life extension act of the AT by the 2-bet game.
The target life extension act is, for example, a state in which the number of remaining games in the chance zone (AT) during stay is small (remaining 5 games), and the number of games (3 bet games) in the advantageous section is 1460. If it is in a state, it is assumed that the player will carry it out.
In other words, the number of remaining games in the chance zone (5 times) is slightly less (5 times) than the number of times (10 times) up to 1470, which is the transition condition of the ending, so even if you continue the 3-bet game properly as it is. It is assumed that the ending transition conditions are not met.
Under such circumstances, the continuation of AT is entrusted to the transition lottery to Momotarou Chance, which is carried out during the chance zone.
By the way, if a two-bet game is played in a chance zone, the AT in the chance zone cannot be benefited, but the number of remaining games is not reduced.
Therefore, if a player who knows such specifications is placed in the above situation, the chance zone is prevented from ending by intentionally switching to the 2-bet game (life extension act). It is conceivable to make an unreasonable attempt to reach the ending transition condition of 1470 times.
On the other hand, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is designed to shift to the ending when the number of 3-bet games in the advantageous section reaches 1470 times, and the ending transition condition is set no matter how many 2-bet games are repeated. It does not contribute to satisfying, but rather promotes the end of the advantageous section by reaching the limiter number, so it seems that there is no actual harm.
However, such an act disturbs the morals and morals of the amusement park, and if such an act is left unattended, the playing environment of the amusement park may be deteriorated.
Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the ending transition determination, the game state control means is an advantageous section in response to the act of extending the life of the AT by such a two-bet game and the unreasonable attempt to shift to the ending based on the act. When the number of 3-bet games (the number of games counted by the first counting means in the second game state) reaches 1470, the number of games counted regardless of the number of bets in the advantageous section (third counting means). The number of games counted by: 1470 (number of advantageous section games) is more than 1470 (first game) and 1480 (third game) is less than 1500 (second game) which is the limiter. In that case, it was decided to impose penalties on the player by not shifting to the ending (restricting the transition to the ending).
The number of third games is not limited to 1480, and can be any number according to the number of first games and the number of second games.

Such an ending transition determination will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 19, it is determined whether or not the number of advantageous sections acquired is 2300 or more (S201).
The standard value is 2300, which is more than the ending transition condition of 2250 3 bets and less than 2400 medals, which is the limiter, and the standard value is 2300 medals, regardless of the number of bets. It determines whether or not it has been reached.
In S201, when the number of advantageous sections acquired is 2300 or more (S201-Yes), the process proceeds to S202.

In S202, it is determined whether or not the number of advantageous section games is 1480 or more.
The standard value is 1480, which is more than 1470 3-bet games, which is the ending transition condition, and 1480, which is less than 1500 games, which is the limiter. It determines whether or not it has been done.
In S202, when the number of advantageous section games is 1480 or more (S202-Yes), the process proceeds to S203.
In S203, when the ED flag is on (S203-Yes), the processing after S204 ends without being executed.
In S203, when the ED flag is off (S203-No), it is determined whether or not the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2250 or more (S204).
In S204, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 2250 or more (S204-Yes), the ending A is controlled (S207) and the ED flag is turned on (S213).
In S204, if the number of 3-bet acquisitions is less than 2250 (S204-No), the process proceeds to S205.

In S205, when the number of 3-bet games is 1470 (S205-Yes), it is determined whether or not the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2000 or more (S206).
In S205, if the number of 3-bet games is not 1470 (S205-No), the game ends.
In S206, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 2000 or more (S206-Yes), the ending A is controlled (S207) and the ED flag is turned on (S213).
In S206, when the number of 3 bets acquired is less than 2000 (S206-No), the process proceeds to S208.
In S208, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1500 or more and 1999 or less (S208-Yes), the ending B is controlled (S209) and the ED flag is turned on (S213).
In S208, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1500 or more and not 1999 or less (S208-No), that is, when 1499 or less, the process proceeds to S210.
In S210, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1000 or more and 1499 or less (S210-Yes), the ending C is controlled (S211) and the ED flag is turned on (S213).
In S210, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1000 or more and not 1499 or less (S210-No), that is, when 999 or less, the ending D is controlled (S212) and the ED flag is turned on (S210). S213).

That is, in such an ending transition determination, the number of advantageous section games and the number of advantageous section acquisitions are slightly larger than the number of 3-bet games and the number of 3-bet acquisitions of the ending transition condition, and the ending transition is made at a reference value or less, which is slightly smaller than the limiter. If the conditions are met (S201-No, S202-No, S204-Yes, S205-Yes), the ending effect is performed according to the number of medals acquired at the time of entering the ending (S204 to S212), and the number of advantageous section games and advantageous If the number of sections acquired is not equal to or greater than the reference value and the ending transition condition is not satisfied (S201-Yes, S202-Yes), the transition is not performed to the ending.

Then, when only the 3-bet game is properly executed in the advantageous section, the number of 3-bet games and the number of advantageous section games are always the same count value, and the number of 3-bet acquisitions and the number of advantageous section acquisitions are always the same. Since it is a counting value, even if the number of 3-bet games reaches 1470 times or the number of 3-bet acquisitions reaches 2250, the ending will be entered without any problem, and the ending effect will be adjusted according to the number of medals won at the time of entry. It can be performed.
However, if the 2-bet game is executed 10 times or more during the advantageous section, the number of advantageous section games will be 1480 or more when the number of 3-bet games reaches 1470 and the ending transition condition is satisfied. Is not implemented (S202-Yes).
Also, even if 50 or more medals are won by executing the 2-bet game during the advantageous section, the number of advantageous sections won is 2300 when the number of 3-bet acquisitions reaches 2250 and the ending transition condition is satisfied. Since the number of sheets is more than one, the ending is not carried out (S201-Yes).
For this reason, it is possible to extend the life of the AT by playing a two-bet game during the AT, or to give a penalty for the unjust act of the player who tries to shift to the ending by the prolongation of the life, and the existence of the penalty makes it unreasonable. It is possible to prevent the act.
In addition, when the 2-bet game is executed 1 to 9 times in the advantageous section, the ending is allowed, but this is because the player intentionally prolongs the life, such as the player mistakenly playing the 2-bet game. This is because no penalties will be given until the case where the above is not performed.
According to this ending transition determination, the gaming environment in the amusement park can be kept sound.

Further, according to this ending transition determination, it is possible to prevent the ending from ending halfway.
For example, if this ending transition determination is not adopted, even if the number of 3-bet games reaches 1470 and the ending transition condition is satisfied, if the 2-bet game has been executed 20 times or more before that, At the start of the ending, the number of advantageous section games has already been 1490, and only 10 games are left until the limiter (1500) is reached.
In this case, although the ending is originally given 20 games, the limiter is reached when 10 games are executed, and the ending ends, which causes a disappointment to the player and a factor that lowers the interest in the game.
According to this ending transition determination, when the two-bet game is executed a predetermined number of times or more in the advantageous section, the ending is not shifted to, so that such a problem does not occur.

If the ending is restricted as a penalty, the player may be notified by displaying the fact on the display 8.
As a result, the player can continue to extend the life of the AT without noticing that the penalty has been executed, thereby preventing the limiter from being reached during the AT and the AT being terminated in the middle.

(Ending transition judgment at the end game of Momotarou Chance)
When the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment satisfies the ending transition conditions such as the Momotarou bonus, the chance zone, and the Momotarou chance, the slot machine 1 shifts to the ending in the middle of the staying AT.
In this case, the AT is continued by shifting to the ending, but if the AT during the stay ends in the middle, the player may feel disappointed or uncomfortable, and the interest in the game may be reduced.
Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the ending transition determination is made individually at the end game of the Momotarou chance located in the stage before the ending, and in the transition determination, the transition to the ending is relatively easy. did.
Specifically, the ending transition determination is performed according to the procedure shown in FIGS. 20 to 22.

As shown in FIG. 20, first, it is determined whether the ED flag is on or off (S301).
In S301, when the ED flag is on (S301-Yes), since it is already in the ending state, the processing after S302 ends without being executed.
In S301, when the ED flag is off (S301-No), it is determined whether or not the running game is the end game of the Momotarou chance (S302).
In S302, when the game being executed is the end game of the Momotarou chance (S302-Yes), the ED transition determination process at the end of MC is executed (S303).
As shown in FIG. 21, the ED transition determination process at the end of MC first determines whether or not the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2200 or more (S311).
In S311, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 2200 or more (S311-Yes), the ending A is controlled (S314) and the ED flag is turned on (S320).
If the number of 3-bet acquisitions is less than 2200 in S311 (S311-No), the process proceeds to S312.
In S312, when the number of 3-bet games is 1460 or more (S312-Yes), it is determined whether or not the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 1950 or more (S313).
In S312, if the number of 3-bet games is not 1460 or more (S312-No), the game ends.
In S313, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1950 or more (S313-Yes), the ending A is controlled (S314), and the ED flag is turned on (S320).
In S313, when the number of 3 bets acquired is less than 1950 (S313-No), the process proceeds to S315.
In S315, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1450 or more and 1949 or less (S315-Yes), the ending B is controlled (S316) and the ED flag is turned on (S320).
In S315, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1450 or more and not 1949 or less (S315-No), that is, when 1449 or less, the process proceeds to S317.
In S317, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 950 or more and 1449 or less (S317-Yes), the ending C is controlled (S318) and the ED flag is turned on (S320).
In S317, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 950 or more and not 1499 or less (S317-No), that is, when 949 or less, the ending D is controlled (S319) and the ED flag is turned on (S319). S320).

When the ED transition determination process at the end of MC is completed, the ED transition determination process during the advantageous section is executed (S304).
As shown in FIG. 22, the ED transition determination process during the advantageous section first determines whether or not the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2250 or more (S321).
In S321, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 2250 or more (S321-Yes), the ending A is controlled (S324) and the ED flag is turned on (S330).
In S321, when the number of 3 bets acquired is less than 2250 (S321-No), the process proceeds to S322.
In S322, when the number of 3-bet games is 1470 (S322-Yes), it is determined whether or not the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2000 or more (S323).
In S323, if the number of 3-bet games is not 1470 (S323-No), the game ends.
In S323, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 2000 or more (S323-Yes), the ending A is controlled (S324), and the ED flag is turned on (S330).
In S323, when the number of 3 bets acquired is less than 2000 (S323-No), the process proceeds to S325.
In S325, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1500 or more and 1999 or less (S325-Yes), the ending B is controlled (S326) and the ED flag is turned on (S330).
In S325, if the number of 3 bets acquired is 1500 or more and not 1999 or less (S325-No), that is, if 1499 or less, the process proceeds to S327.
In S327, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1000 or more and 1499 or less (S327-Yes), the ending C is controlled (S328) and the ED flag is turned on (S330).
In S327, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1000 or more and not 1499 or less (S327-No), that is, when 999 or less, the ending D is controlled (S329) and the ED flag is turned on (S329). S330).

In this way, in this ending transition determination, the ending transition determination is performed at the time of the end game of the Momotarou chance located at the final stage of the ending and at the end of the Momotarou chance, respectively, and the end of the Momotarou chance. The ending transition judgment of the time is made based on the reference value lower than the reference value in the ending transition judgment other than the end of the Momotarou chance.
As a result, it is possible to easily shift to the ending at the end of the Momotarou chance, and it is possible to make it difficult to shift to the ending in the middle of AT.
In addition, by making it easier to shift to the ending in the ending game of Momotarou Chance, which is located in the previous stage, for the ending that is the AT in the final stage, it is possible to continuously advance the AT in the final stage of the advantageous section in a natural flow. can.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling disappointed or uncomfortable due to the transition to the ending in the middle of the AT, and it is possible to prevent the player from being less interested in the game.

It should be noted that the reference value for the ending transition determination at the end of the Momotarou chance may be the same or higher than the reference value for the ending transition determination other than at the end of the Momotarou chance. ..
Further, the same process as the ED transition determination process (S303) at the end of MC can be applied to the end game of another AT.
If the ending transition condition is satisfied during the AT, the ending is not immediately shifted to, but the ending is shifted to the ending after notifying via the display 8 that the AT during the stay will be terminated or the ending will be shifted. You can also do it.
As a result, it is possible to reduce the disappointment and discomfort of the player due to the end of the AT during the stay.

(Setting suggestion production in the ending)
The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can perform a suggestion effect of the set value set by the game set value in the ending.
Specifically, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment displays setting suggestion information (setting value information) in the ending effect only when the ending A (second effect) is executed, and the ending B (first effect). When other endings such as are executed, it is possible to hide the setting suggestion information in the ending effect.
For example, on the result screen of the ending A shown in FIG. 14, the set value can be suggested by changing the color and design of the characters of "Congratuations".
As an example, blue = odd number (1,3,5) suggestion, yellow = even number (2,4,6) suggestion, green = highest setting (6) suggestion, italic = odd number suggestion, underline = even number suggestion, reverse. Character = maximum setting can be set.
It should be noted that the setting suggestion effect can be performed not only in the ending A but also in other endings such as the ending B.

(Second Embodiment)
The gaming machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 to 29.
FIG. 23 is a transition diagram of a gaming state in the gaming machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 23, in the present embodiment, the number of games (number of staying games) given to each ending is different, and in this respect, the number of games given to each ending is the same (20 games). It is different from the first embodiment (see FIG. 7).
Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

Specifically, the main control unit 10 operates as a game state control means, and when the number of 3-bet games in the advantageous section reaches 1430 times (the number of first games), refer to the ending determination table of FIG. 24. Then, the ending corresponding to the number of 3 bets acquired at the time of arrival is selected from the endings A to C and transferred.
For example, if the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2000 or more, the game shifts to the ending A of 60 games, and if the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 1500 to 1999, the system shifts to the ending B of 40 games. If the number of bets won is 1000 to 1499, the game shifts to the ending C of 20 games.
If the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 999 or less, the status quo is maintained, that is, the ending is not performed.
When the number of 3 bets reached the reference value of 2250 to move to the ending (when the condition for the number of wins is satisfied), the game moves to the ending A of 60 games.
The maximum number of net increases per game (one 3-bet game) in the ending is assumed to be 5.
That is, in the ending, even if 60 games of the 3-bet game are properly executed, the number of limiters is 1500 and the number of limiters is 2400.

The ending transition determination of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 25, first, it is determined whether the ED flag is on or off (S401).
In S401, when the ED flag is on (S401-Yes), since it is already in the ending state, the processing after S402 ends without being executed.
In S401, when the ED flag is off (S401-No), first, it is determined whether or not the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2050 or more (S402).
In S402, when the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2050 or more (S402-Yes), the ending A of 60 games is controlled (S405), and the ED flag is turned on (S410).
In S402, if the number of 3-bet acquisitions is less than 2050 (S402-No), the process proceeds to S403.
In S403, it is determined whether or not the number of 3-bet games is 1430 times.
In S403, when the number of 3-bet games is 1430 (S403-Yes), it is determined whether or not the number of 3-bet acquisitions is 2000 or more (S404).
In S403, if the number of 3-bet games is not 1430 (S403-No), the game ends. In other words, it does not move to the ending because it does not meet the transition conditions.
In S404, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 2000 or more (S404-Yes), the ending A of 60 games is controlled (S405), and the ED flag is turned on (S410).
In S404, if the number of 3-bet acquisitions is less than 2000 (S404-No), the process proceeds to S406.
In S406, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1500 or less and 1999 or less (S406-Yes), the ending B of 40 games is controlled (S407), and the ED flag is turned on (S410).
In S406, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1500 or more and not 1999 or less (S406-No), that is, when 1499 or less, the process proceeds to S408.
In S408, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 1000 or more and 1499 or less (S408-Yes), the ending C of 20 games is controlled (S409), and the ED flag is turned on (S410).

As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 10 operates as the game state control means, so that in the advantageous section (second game state) excluding the ending, the number of 3-bet games in the advantageous section (first). When the number of games counted by one counting means reaches the number of games satisfying the number of games (first number of games), 3 bets are acquired when the number of games satisfying the number of games (first number of games) is reached. When the number is 1500 to 1999 (first acquired number), it is possible to control the ending (specific third game state) to which 40 games are given, and in the second game state, the number of 3-bet games in the advantageous section. When the number of games satisfying the number of games (first number of games) is reached, the number of 3-bet acquisitions at the time when the number of games satisfying the number of games (first number of games) is reached is 2000 or more (second number of acquisitions). ), The ending (special third game state) to which 60 games are given can be controlled.

That is, in this ending transition determination, the larger the number of medals acquired at the time of entering the ending, the greater the benefit given to the player, and the smaller the number of medals acquired at the time of entering the ending, the smaller the benefit given to the player. ..
Therefore, when the number of medals acquired at the time of entering the ending is small, there is no sense of discomfort due to the disagreement between the number of medals acquired and the benefits of the ending, and it is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from diminishing.

In addition, when the number of 3 bets acquired is 999 or less, it is possible to shift to the ending.
In addition, the ending where the number of 3-bet games reaches 2250 and shifts, and the ending where the number of 3-bet games in the advantageous section reaches 1470 games and shifts, and the number of medals won at the time of entering the ending is 2000 or more. The ending in the case of is different from the ending in the case of the number of games.
In addition, the number of staying games in each ending can be made different, and the production mode of each ending can be made different as in the first embodiment.

Such a slot machine 101 is configured to be able to execute the following slot machine games by the main control unit 110.
At the start of the game, the number of bets is set using medals (including credit medals).
The number of bets can be set by directly inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 102 or by pressing the 3-bet button 102a or the 2-bet button 102b.

In the method of inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 102 to set the number of bets, the inserted medals are detected by the medal selector 102d provided on the back surface of the front door 101a, so that the bets corresponding to the number of inserted medals are bet. The number (however, the upper limit is 3 bets corresponding to 3 medals) will be set. When a medal exceeding 3 bets is inserted, it is internally stored as data as a credit medal.

When the 3-bet button 102a is pressed (first operation), the number of medals corresponding to three medals is subtracted from the credit medals internally stored as data, and the number of medals used for one game is subtracted. The amount made will be set as 3 bets (the number of first game media). Similarly, when the 2-bet button 102b is pressed (second operation), the number of medals corresponding to two medals is subtracted from the credit medals internally stored as data. Then, the subtracted amount is set as 2 bets (the number of second game media).
By providing a 1-bet button for setting the number of medals corresponding to one bet button, the 1-bet button may be set as 2 bets by pressing the 1-bet button twice, and the 1-bet button may be pressed 3 times. May be set as 3 bets.
Further, credit medals are added by inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 102 or winning a prize, and for example, up to 50 medals can be credited (stored).

In this way, the number of bets set by the direct insertion from the medal insertion slot 102 or the pressing operation of each bet button is stored in a storage means such as a RAM provided in the main control unit 110.
Then, when the number of bets that can be executed once is reached, the game can be started.
In the state where the game can be started, the operation of the start lever 103 becomes effective. In this valid state, when the start lever 103 is tilted, the game is started, the reels 141a to 141c on which a plurality of symbols are represented start to fluctuate, and a plurality of reels such as a replay combination, a small combination, and a bonus combination are started. An internal lottery process is executed in which the lottery result of the game is determined in advance before the reel 141 is stopped from among the winning combinations (including loss).
In the internal lottery process, the winning combination of the game this time is determined by lottery from a plurality of winning combinations based on a predetermined winning probability.

Each reel 141a to 141c is an example of variable display means, and on the peripheral surface of each reel 141a to 141c, as a plurality of (for example, 20) symbols serving as identification information, for example, "replay" and "bell". , "Cherry", "Red 7", "White 7", etc. are represented, and after gradually increasing the rotation speed from the stopped state, it reaches a steady rotation that rotates at a constant speed.
When such steady rotation is reached, the stop buttons 105a to 105c provided corresponding to the reels 141a to 141c are in a state in which the push operation can be performed.

The stop buttons 105a to 105c are examples of operating means for performing a stop operation of the reel 141, and for example, a light emitting means such as an LED built in the stop buttons 105a to 105c is turned on to enable a pressing operation. When each stop button 105 is pressed in such a state, the reels 141a to 141c are stopped and controlled so as to stop at a combination of symbols allowed by the operation timing and the lottery result of the internal lottery process. Reel.

Then, after the third reel stop operation, as a result of determining the combination of the symbols stopped on the predetermined winning line as a result of the game, it is determined that the winning is won when the combination of the predetermined symbols is obtained, and the game corresponding to the combination of the symbols is determined. Value is given.
The third reel means a reel in which the stop operation of the three reels 141a to 141c is performed three times, one time each, and the stop operation is performed in the third operation, which is the last operation. Further, the term "after the third reel stop operation" means after the time when the player releases the finger or the like from the stop button 105 which has been stopped to stop the third reel.

In the stopped state of the reel 141, the three symbols represented on the reels 141a to 141c are stopped so as to be visible from the outside of the machine (also referred to as "stop display"), and whether or not a prize is won is determined based on the stop display mode at this time. It is judged.
For example, in the present embodiment, the winning judgment is based on the combination of the symbols stopped on any of the five winning lines, that is, the upper / middle / lower line, the downward-sloping line, and the upward-sloping line. The presence or absence is determined. The number of winning lines for determining winning is not limited to five lines, and can be appropriately changed depending on the arrangement configuration of symbols, the type of symbols, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination, and the like.

The combination of symbols to be determined corresponds to, for example, a small combination, a replay combination, a bonus combination, and the like.
Small roles include, for example, a bell role, a watermelon role, and a cherry role.
In the following explanation, the role of watermelon and the role of cherry are collectively referred to as "rare role".

The bell role is provided with two roles in which the corresponding combinations of symbols are different. For example, the combinations of the corresponding symbols are "bell replay bell" in the order of "left reel 141a, middle reel 141b, right reel 141c" on the winning line (the same applies hereinafter), and "common bell". A "push order bell" called "bell bell bell" can be provided.

The "common bell" stops the combination of the corresponding symbols regardless of the operation order (hereinafter, also referred to as the push order) for the stop buttons 105a to 105c, and the "push order bell" corresponds by following a specific push order. The combination of symbols stops.

Further, in the "push-order bell", one of the six push-orders (for example, "105a-> 105b-> 105c", "105c-> 105b-> 105a", etc.) can be used according to one (1/6) push order. By operating the stop buttons 105a to 105c, six "push-order bells 1 to 6" are provided in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped and displayed.

Then, when each push order bell 1 to 6 is won during the AT described later, the push order corresponding to each may be notified.
As an example of notification of the push order, for example, when the "push order bell 1" is won among the "push order bells 1 to 6" (when the stop button 105 is operated in the order of "105a → 105b → 105c", the push order is pushed. (When the combination of symbols corresponding to the forward bell 1 is stopped), the main display 108a displays "1", "2", "3", etc. from left to right, and the navigation lamp. The 112 lights up in the order of 112a (left), 112b (middle), and 112c (right), and the speaker 109 outputs the respective sounds in the order of "left", "middle", and "right". In this embodiment, the operation display displayed on the main display 108a or the like is also referred to as "push order navigation".
In this way, the output means such as the display 108, the navigation lamp 112, and the speaker 109 navigate the operation for the stop button 105.

When the player operates the stop button 105 according to the push order navigation, the combination of symbols corresponding to the "push order bell 1"("bell bell bell") is stopped and displayed, and the specified number of medals is displayed. Medal will be paid out.
On the other hand, when "Pushing order bells 1 to 6" is won and the stop button 105 is operated by the other 5 ways (5/6) of pushing order without following the pushing order navigation, the corresponding symbol combination ("Bell Bell Bell") is not stopped and displayed, a combination of predetermined symbols such as "Bell Bell Replay" (hereinafter referred to as "Bell Spilled Eye") is stopped and displayed, and the specified number of medals are paid. It will not be issued.

If the "push-order bell" is won, regardless of the stop button 105 that is operated second or third, if only the stop button 105 that is operated first follows a specific push order, the "push-order bell" is selected. It is also possible to control the stop of the reel 141 so that the combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped. In this case, the "pushing order bell" is not limited to 6 ways, and may be 3 kinds of "pushing order bells 1 to 3".

The watermelon role is a small role in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is "watermelon / watermelon / watermelon".
For the role of watermelon, the combination of "watermelon, watermelon, watermelon" is displayed as a stop on either the downward-sloping line or the upward-sloping line, "weak watermelon", the upper line, the middle line, And, among the lower lines, "strong watermelon" is set to stop and display.

The cherry role is a small role in which the combination of the corresponding symbols is "cherry / ANY / ANY" (however, ANY is an arbitrary symbol).
For the role of cherry, the cherry symbol stops at the "upper" or "lower" of the left reel 141a, the watermelon symbol stops at the "middle" of the right reel 141c, and the cherry symbol stops at the "middle" of the left reel 141a. There is provided a "strong cherry" that stops at the "upper" or "lower" and the red 7 or white 7 symbol stops at the "middle" of the right reel 141c.

There are two types of replay combinations: "normal replay" in which combinations of symbols are aligned regardless of the push order, and "push order replay" in which combinations of symbols are aligned by following a specific push order.
Further, the "push order replay" includes "red 7 replay", "white 7 replay", and "freeze replay".
In "normal replay", the combination of corresponding symbols is "replay / replay / replay", and in "red 7 replay", the combination of corresponding symbols is "red 7, red 7, red 7" (red 7 aligned). , "White 7 replay" and "freeze replay" are set with the corresponding symbol combinations as "white 7, white 7, white 7" (white 7 matching).

"Freeze replay" is a winning combination that is a lottery target during a game (hereinafter referred to as a 3-bet game) executed with a 3-bet set.
Further, the "freeze replay" is a winning combination to be a lottery target while staying at RT2 among the RT states described later.
When the "freeze replay" is won, one of the six push orders (1/6) (for example, "105c → 105b → 105a" (reverse push)) is used to perform the stop button 105a to By operating 105c, the combination of the corresponding symbols (white 7 alignment) is stopped and displayed.
On the other hand, when the stop button 105 is operated according to the other 5 ways (5/6) of pressing order, the corresponding symbol combination is not stopped and displayed, and the "normal replay" symbol combination (replay / replay / replay) is displayed. Stop.
In addition, when the "freeze replay" is won, the notification prompting the stop operation of the white 7 symbol and the notification of the push order (reverse push) are referred to as the above-mentioned "push order bell" only in the normal state described later. It is done in a similar way. On the other hand, if the winner is in a state other than the normal state, the process is the same as that of the "normal replay".
Then, when the white 7 set is stopped and displayed during the normal state, the "pseudo bonus stage (super momotarou bonus)" described later is entered from the next game.
Further, when the "freeze replay" is won, the reel 141 is rotated in a specific mode different from the normal mode, and then the reel 141 is rotated in the normal mode. If the reel 141 is rotated in the specific mode, the player stops the operation. Is controlled not to be accepted. It should be noted that while the reel 141 is rotating in a specific mode, the display 108 performs a specific effect that does not normally occur, thereby notifying the transition to the AT (pseudo-bonus stage), that is, a so-called freeze effect. Will be executed.

"Red 7 Replay" and "White 7 Replay" are winning combinations that are subject to lottery during the 3-bet game.
In addition, "Red 7 Replay" and "White 7 Replay" are winning combinations that are subject to lottery while staying at RT2 in the RT state.
If you win the "Red 7 Replay" or "White 7 Replay", one of the 6 push orders (1/6) (for example, "105c → 105b → 105a" (reverse push)) ), By operating the stop buttons 105a to 105c, the combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped and displayed.
On the other hand, when the stop button 105 is operated by the other 5 ways (5/6) of pressing order, the corresponding symbol combination is not stopped and displayed, and the "normal replay" symbol combination (replay / replay / replay) is displayed. Stop.

When "Red 7 Replay" or "White 7 Replay" is won, the notification prompting the stop operation of the 7 symbols and the notification of the push order (reverse push) are sent only during the "pseudo bonus preparation stage" described later. Will be done.
Then, during the "pseudo-bonus preparation stage", when the red 7-match is stopped and displayed, the "pseudo-bonus stage (Momotaro bonus)" described later is entered, and when the white 7-match is stopped and displayed, the "pseudo-bonus stage (super)" described later is entered. Momotarou Bonus) ”.
On the other hand, in other states during AT, the push order for avoiding the stop display of the red 7 alignment or the white 7 alignment is notified, and the push order is not notified at all during non-AT. ..
Not limited to this, even in other states during AT, if the "red 7 replay" or "white 7 replay" is won, the push order (reverse push) may be notified with a predetermined probability. (For example, 10% is notified and 90% is not notified). In this case, by following the pressing order, the red 7-match or the white 7-match may be stopped and displayed, and the pseudo-bonus stage may be entered.
If you have won the "Red 7 Replay" or "White 7 Replay", even if the Red 7 Match or White 7 Match is not displayed as stopped, after the 3rd reel stop operation, the "Pseudo Bonus Stage (Momotaro)" Bonus) ”or“ Pseudo Bonus Stage (Super Momotarou Bonus) ”.

The bonus combination has two combinations with different combinations of corresponding symbols, and the corresponding symbol combination is "Red 7, Red 7, White 7", "Bonus A", and the corresponding symbol. "Bonus B" is provided in which the combination of "white 7, white 7, red 7" is provided.
In addition, the bonus combination becomes a target role of carry-over control that allows the winning right to be carried over as long as the combination of the corresponding symbols is not stopped in the winning game and the games after the winning game by the main control unit 110. There is. Therefore, the established state of the bonus winning is maintained until the bonus combination is won by stopping the combination of the corresponding symbols (hereinafter, this gaming state is referred to as the bonus winning state).

The probability that the slot machine 101 can set and change the winning probability of a specific winning combination among the winning combinations drawn by the main control unit 110 (lottery means) and the winning probability of the transition lottery to AT by an external operation (manual). A setting means (setting button) is provided.
For example, the winning probability of a specific winning combination is divided into four stages from a low winning probability to a high winning probability, and each stage corresponds to the set values 1, 2, 5, and 6, respectively. Can be changed to the winning probability according to each set value.
In this case, the probability that a specific winning combination is won is set higher when the setting value 6 is set than when the setting value 1 is set, and as a result, the setting value 1 is set. It is controlled so that the slot machine game proceeds more advantageously when the set value 6 is set than.
Although the game setting value can be set in 4 stages, the game setting value is not limited to this, and is not limited to this, for example, as 6 stages (setting value 1 to setting value 6) or 3 stages (setting value 1, setting value 3, setting value 6). May be good.

Based on the combination of symbols as described above, the winning of the small winning combination, the replay winning combination, and the bonus winning combination is determined, and as a result of the determination, when the combination of the symbols corresponding to each winning combination is obtained, each winning combination is determined. The medal will be paid out.
The "dividend table" shown in FIG. 33 defines each winning combination and the number of medals to be paid out when each winning combination is won.
As shown in FIG. 33, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the common bell is stopped and displayed in the bell combination, the number of medals paid out differs according to the number of bets set at the start of the game. For example, in a 3-bet game, 3 medals are paid out, and in a game executed with a 2-bet set (hereinafter, a 2-bet game), 2 medals are paid out.
In addition, when the stop buttons 105a to 105c are operated in a specific push order (one push order) when the "push order bells 1 to 6" are won, the combination of the corresponding symbols stops, the number of bets is counted. Regardless, 10 medals will be paid out.
On the other hand, when the stop buttons 105a to 105c are operated in a push order other than a specific push order (five push orders) at the time of winning the "push order bells 1 to 6", the combination of the corresponding symbols is not stopped. The bell spills stop and the specified number of medals are not paid out. For example, 9 or less medals (less than the specified number) are paid out.

In addition, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the watermelon combination is stopped and displayed, one medal is paid out regardless of the number of bets.
In addition, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the cherry combination is stopped and displayed, one medal is paid out regardless of the number of bets.
The number of medals to be paid out when the combination of symbols corresponding to each combination is stopped and displayed may be other than the above number.
In addition, the stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay combination determines the replay combination, and the game can be replayed without inserting medals in the next game.

In addition, the stop display of the combination of the bonus symbols corresponding to the bonus combination shifts to the bonus.
Bonus A is a winning combination that is subject to lottery during the 3-bet game and while staying at RT1 in the RT state.
Further, the bonus A is a state in which the common bell is won, and ends when the number of medals paid out reaches a predetermined number (for example, 21).
Therefore, during the bonus A, the 3-bet game continues for 8 games, and the medals do not increase or decrease. Therefore, the number of medals (net increase) actually increased during the bonus A is, for example, 0.

Bonus B is a winning combination that is subject to lottery during the 2-bet game and while staying at RT1 in the RT state.
Further, the bonus B is a state in which the common bell is won, and ends when the number of medals paid out reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10).
Therefore, during the bonus B, the 2-bet game continues for 6 games and the medals do not increase or decrease, so that the number of medals actually increased during the bonus B (net increase number) is, for example, 0.
The bonus A and the bonus B may be, for example, a so-called SB (single bonus) that ends in a predetermined number of games (for example, one game) without carrying over control of the bonus winning state.

Next, with reference to FIG. 34, the winning probability of each winning combination will be described.
FIG. 34 shows the winning probabilities of the winning combinations of the 3-bet game and the 2-bet game in the RT state (RT1, RT2) and the bonus A.
In the "internal lottery table" shown in FIG. 34, the acquisition range (number) of random number values acquired in the internal lottery process by the main control unit 110 is 65536, and the number of winning values (winning) is shown.
The "internal lottery table" shown in FIG. 34 assumes a common case for all set values, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the winning probability of each winning combination may be different depending on the set values. For example, the higher the setting, the higher the winning probability of each winning combination, or the higher the setting, the lower the winning probability of some or all of the winning combinations.

As shown in FIG. 34, the winning probabilities of each winning combination in the 3-bet game are as follows.
In each of the "pushing order bells 1 to 6", the winning probability is set to 6687/65536 in RT1 and RT2.
In the "common bell", the winning probability is set to 65536/65536 in the bonus A. That is, during bonus A, only the common bell wins.
"Weak cherry" has a winning probability of 829/65536 in RT1 and RT2, and "strong cherry" has a winning probability of 199/65536 in RT1 and RT2, and is "weak watermelon". In RT1 and RT2, the winning probability is set to 819/65536, and in "strong watermelon", the winning probability is set to 149/65536 in RT1 and RT2.

In the "normal replay", the winning probability is set to 5236/65536 in RT1 and the winning probability is set to 11947/65536 in RT2.
"Freeze replay" has a winning probability of 4/65536 set in RT2, "Red 7 replay" has a winning probability of 3276/65536 set in RT2, and "White 7 replay" has a winning probability of 3276/65536. In RT2, the winning probability is set to 1638/65536, and the overlapping winning probability of "normal replay" and "bonus A" is set to 1318/65536 in RT1.
Further, when a random number value other than the winning combination is extracted, the lottery result becomes "missing", and the winning probability is set to 16864/65536 in RT1 and the winning probability is set to 6553/65536 in RT2. There is.

With the winning probability as described above, the lottery of each winning combination at the time of executing the 3-bet game in RT1, RT2 and bonus A is performed.
Therefore, the winning probability of "normal replay" is higher in RT2 than in RT1, and the probability of "missing" is also lower in RT2 than in RT1, so that the game is advantageous to the player in RT2. Will be executed.
In addition, since the winning probability of "push order bells 1 to 6" is set to a relatively high probability in RT1 and RT2, medals increase at a predetermined rate by performing push order navigation during AT. Will be done.
Further, as will be described later, since the bonus has already been won while staying at RT2, if the player shifts to RT2 during the 3-bet game, the RT2 will not win the "bonus A". Further, in the 3-bet game, it is set not to win "Bonus B".

As shown in FIG. 34, the winning probabilities of each winning combination in the 2-bet game are as follows.
In each of the "pushing order bells 1 to 6", the winning probability is set to 668/65536 in RT1 and RT2.
In the "common bell", the winning probability is set to 65536/65536 in the bonus B. That is, during Bonus B, only the common bell wins.
"Weak cherry" has a winning probability of 828/65536 in RT1 and RT2, and "strong cherry" has a winning probability of 198/65536 in RT1 and RT2, and is "weak watermelon". In RT1 and RT2, the winning probability is set to 817/65536, and in "strong watermelon", the winning probability is set to 148/65536 in RT1 and RT2.

In RT2, the winning probability of "normal replay" is set to 16384/65536, and the overlapping winning probability of "normal replay" and "bonus B" is set to 6553/65536 in RT1.
"Freeze replay", "Red 7 replay" and "White 7 replay" are set so as not to be duplicated during RT1, RT2 and Bonus B.
Further, when a random number value other than the winning combination is extracted, the lottery result becomes "missing", and the winning probability is set to 52984/65536 in RT1 and the winning probability is set to 43153/65536 in RT2. There is.

With the winning probability as described above, the lottery of each winning combination at the time of executing the 2-bet game in RT1, RT2 and Bonus B is performed.
In the 2-bet game, the winning probability of "pushing order bells 1 to 6" is set to be lower than that of the 3-bet game, and the winning probability of "missing" is set to be higher. The number of medals will decrease, and the game will proceed at a disadvantage to the player.
Further, as will be described later, since the bonus has already been won while staying at RT2, if the player shifts to RT2 during the 2-bet game, the RT2 will not win the "bonus B". Further, in the 2-bet game, it is set not to win the "bonus A".

In addition to such a configuration, the slot machine 101 according to the present embodiment has a gaming state as shown below and a characteristic game property based on this gaming state.
Each game state is controlled (hereinafter, also referred to as transition) to each game state by the main control unit 110 operating as the game state control means.

Next, RT and AT (ART), which are the basic gaming states of the slot machine 101, will be described.
First, with reference to FIG. 35, the RT state (hereinafter, also simply referred to as RT) possessed by the slot machine 101 will be described.
The slot machine 101 according to the present embodiment has RT1 and RT2 as states corresponding to the winning probability of the replay combination in the internal lottery process.

The RT1 is set to win the replay combination with a predetermined probability (for example, 1 / 7.3) in the internal lottery process, and is in a gaming state that is more disadvantageous to the player than the RT2 in the winning probability of the replay combination.
The entry into RT1 includes the system reset of the slot machine 101, the change of the game setting value (including the case where the same game setting value is reset (the game setting value is reset)), and the end of the bonus (bonus A or bonus B). (Arrow a in FIG. 35).
Further, the end of RT1 is triggered by the winning of bonus A in the 3-bet game or the winning of bonus B in the 2-bet game, and then shifts from RT1 to RT2 (arrow b in FIG. 35).
As described above, RT1 is not a finite gaming state in which the gaming period is predetermined, but is an infinite gaming state (infinite RT) that does not shift to another gaming state unless a bonus is won.

RT2 is set to win the replay combination with a higher probability (for example, 1 / 3.9) than RT1 in the internal lottery process, and is in a gaming state more advantageous to the player than RT1 in the winning probability of the replay combination. be.
The entry into RT2 is triggered by the winning of a bonus (bonus A or bonus B), and then shifts from RT1 to RT2 (arrow b in FIG. 35).
The end of RT2 is triggered by the end of the bonus A winning state in the 3-bet game (bonus A winning) or the end of the bonus B winning state in the 2-bet game (bonus B winning). Transition from RT2 to bonus (arrow c in FIG. 35).
That is, RT2 is designed to continue from winning the bonus role until the bonus is generated (bonus winning), and during RT2, the game progresses in the state where the bonus role is internally won (bonus winning state). Will be done.
As described above, RT2 is not a finite gaming state in which the gaming period is predetermined, but is an infinite gaming state (infinite RT) that does not shift to another gaming state unless a bonus is generated.

As described above, in the present embodiment, a plurality of RTs having different advantages are provided, and by winning the bonus during RT1, the RT1 that is relatively disadvantageous to the player is shifted to the RT2 that is relatively advantageous to the player, and the bonus during RT2. It has the game nature of shifting from RT2 to a bonus by winning a prize.
In such a game property, it is controlled so that it is difficult to shift from RT2 to a bonus.
Specifically, during RT1, information prompting the game to be played in the 2-bet game is displayed (2-bet reminder effect), so that the game basically progresses in the 2-bet game. .. If Bonus B is won in the 2-bet game during RT1, the game shifts to RT2 and the 2-bet reminder effect ends.
Then, during RT2, a 3-bet reminder effect is performed as described later, so that the game basically progresses in the 3-bet game. That is, during RT2, a 3-bet game is played in the state where the bonus B is won, and in the case of "missing" in the internal lottery process (when the bonus B can be won), the player positively wins the bonus B. It is designed so that it does not allow you to press the button.
Therefore, the probability of shifting from RT2 to bonus B (winning bonus B) is extremely low, and in the slot machine 101 according to the present embodiment, basically, the game proceeds in a state controlled by RT2. It has become.
Not limited to this, after winning the bonus A in the 3-bet game during RT1, the game shifts to RT2, and during RT2, the 3-bet game is played in the bonus A winning state and is controlled by RT2. The game may proceed.

Although the number of RTs in this embodiment is two, it may be one or three or more.
Further, RT0 may be provided at the time of system reset (including when the setting is changed) of the slot machine 101. In this case, the transition from RT0 to RT1 may be, for example, a stop display of a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined winning combination (stop display when a push order bell is won, etc.) or a combination of symbols not corresponding to a predetermined winning combination. It may be easy to shift by the stop display (stop display of spilled eyes such as when the push order bell is won) or the like.

When the "push-order replay" or "push-order bell" is won, the AT of the slot machine 101 notifies the stop button 105 of the push-order and a symbol that serves as a guide for pushing the button by a display means such as a display 108. This is a gaming state in which the combination of symbols corresponding to the "push order replay" and the "push order bell" can be stopped and assisted.
Further, by combining RT2 and AT, the winning probability of the replay combination is high, and the game state (ART) is set to assist the winning such as "push order replay" and "push order bell".
Therefore, during AT, the ball ejection speed is faster than during non-AT.

Next, with reference to FIG. 36, each gaming state of the slot machine 101 according to the present embodiment, the transition of each gaming state, and the characteristic game characteristics based on each gaming state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 36, the slot machine 101 of the present embodiment has a normal state and an AT as gaming states.
Further, the AT has a pseudo-bonus preparation stage, a pseudo-bonus stage, an onitage stage, and a chance zone stage.

The main control unit 110 independently controls the transition between RT1, RT2 and the bonus, and controls the transition between the normal state and the AT.
Therefore, the gaming state shifts between RT1, RT2, and the bonus during the stay in each stage of the normal state and AT. However, as described above, since the game of the slot machine 101 according to the present embodiment is basically performed in RT2, it is basically performed in the state of staying in RT2 during the normal state and AT.

In addition, these gaming states are divided into the following normal sections and advantageous sections.
The normal state is divided into a normal state A (third gaming state), which is a normal section, and a normal state B (first gaming state), which is an advantageous section.
In the AT (second game state), the pseudo-bonus preparation stage, the pseudo-bonus stage, the onitage stage, and the chance zone stage are divided into advantageous sections.
The advantageous section is a section in which the person can stay continuously until the normal section is changed to the normal section again.
While staying in the advantageous section, the main control unit 110 operates as a counting means, so that the number of advantageous section games (game value), which is the number of times the game is continuously executed, is counted, and the number of medals won is counted. It is counted.

The transition from the normal section (normal state A) to the advantageous section (normal state B) is performed when a winning combination other than "missing" is won in the internal lottery process during the 3-bet game.
That is, in the case of "loss", the normal section (normal state A) is maintained, while in the case of winning a winning combination other than "loss", the normal section (normal state A) to the advantageous section (normal state A) are maintained. It has come to move to B).
Not limited to this, the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section is, for example, a stop display of a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined winning combination (stop display when the push order bell is won, etc.) or a predetermined winning combination. The transition may be made by a stop display of a combination of symbols that does not correspond to the above (stop display of bell spilled eyes when the push order bell is won, etc.).
In addition, basically, it is assumed that the transition from the normal section (normal state A) to the advantageous section (normal state B) is not performed during the 2-bet game, but the transition is not limited to this. You may.
Further, it is assumed that the process related to the transition to the AT is performed in the advantageous section, and the process related to the transition to the AT is not performed in the normal section.

The end of the advantageous section is the case of non-winning in the "AT continuation lottery" executed during the chance zone stage described later, and then the advantageous section ends and the normal section (normal state A) is entered.
In addition, apart from this, at the end of the advantageous section, "the number of advantageous section games has reached the upper limit (limiter)" or "the number of medals acquired during the advantageous section has reached the upper limit (limiter)". Based on any of the conditions of "reached", the advantageous section ends and the normal section (normal state A) is entered.
The maximum number of games in the advantageous section (limiter) may be any number as long as it is an arbitrary number such as 1000 games or 1500 games, and the maximum number of medals won in the advantageous section (limiter) is 1000. Any number may be used as long as it is an arbitrary number such as 2400 or 2400.

When the limiter of the advantageous section is reached, the number of remaining AT games being executed, the number of games of the advantageous section, etc. are deleted (initialized).
In addition, if the player has an internal mode (for example, heaven mode) in which it is confirmed that the game will shift to the AT again when the specified number of games has elapsed after the end of the AT, the specified number of games will be reached when the limiter is reached. And heaven mode is not set either.
The above-mentioned end condition of the advantageous section is an example, for example, "at least one push order bell has been notified", "the combination of symbols corresponding to the bonus combination has been stopped and displayed", etc. May be included.

Further, during the advantageous section, the advantageous section lamp 113 is basically turned on.
In addition, in order to prevent a decrease in playability, the lights may be turned on only when the number of medals is actually expected to increase.
For example, during the normal state B, which is an advantageous section, the advantageous section lamp 113 may be turned off and turned on only during the pseudo-bonus stage preparation, the pseudo-bonus stage, and the chance zone stage.

Next, each gaming state (normal state, AT) controlled by the main control unit 110, transition processing between each gaming state, and the like will be described.
Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the transition timing from each gaming state to another gaming state is basically after the third reel stop operation of the game in which the transition condition is satisfied. In addition, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the transition condition is satisfied, the transition may be made from the next game.

During the game of the slot machine 101 according to the present embodiment, the main character "Momotaro" is directed with a story to exterminate the enemy character "Oni" so that the game progresses. It has become. For example, during the normal state, "Momotaro" adds (acquires) fellow characters (dogs, monkeys, pheasants), and during AT, "Momotaro" exterminates "Oni". Will be executed.

(Normal state)
The normal state is controlled by non-AT, and by continuing the game, the medals held by the player gradually decrease, which is a disadvantageous game state for the player.
The normal state has a normal state A (third gaming state) which is a normal section and a normal state B (first gaming state) which is an advantageous section.
The normal state A stays when the game set value is changed (including the retouching of the game set value) and when the limiter of the advantageous section is reached at the time of system reset of the slot machine 101.
In the normal state A, when a winning combination other than "loss" is won, the main control unit 110 controls to shift from the normal state A to the normal state B (arrow a in FIG. 36).
That is, the period of stay in the normal state A is extremely short, and while staying in the normal state, the person stays in the normal state B.

In the normal state B, a point acquisition lottery process for determining the number of points to be given to the player (hereinafter referred to as “the number of acquired points”) is executed in each game.
Specifically, the main control unit 110 determines the number of points to be earned by lottery based on the winning combination won in the game this time, and stores the result in the RAM of the main control unit 110.
Further, the main control unit 110 accumulates the acquired points and stores the accumulated points (hereinafter referred to as "Momotaro points") in the RAM of the main control unit 110.
The details of the point acquisition lottery process will be described later.

When the "Momotaro point" reaches the upper limit value (number of ceiling points) during the normal state B, the main control unit 110 controls to shift from the normal state B to the AT (arrow b in FIG. 36). ).
The "number of ceiling points" is determined at the timing of transition from the normal state A to the normal state B, that is, the timing of transition to the advantageous section, and for example, a minimum of 100 points and a maximum of 1500 points are selected.
Specifically, the main control unit 110 determines the number of ceiling points by lottery based on the game setting value currently set in the slot machine 101 by referring to the "ceiling point selection table" shown in FIG. 37. (Ceiling point selection lottery process).

As shown in FIG. 37, the number of ceiling points is set so that the lower setting is selected for the higher setting. For example, when the game setting value is the set value 6, the maximum number of ceiling points of "900 points" is selected, and when the game setting value is other than the set value 6, the maximum number of ceiling points is "1500 points". The number is selected. Therefore, the higher the setting, the higher the probability of shifting to AT.
The number of selectable ceiling points is not limited to this, and can be arbitrarily set, and may be larger than 1500 points or smaller than 100 points. Further, the high setting is set so that the lower number of ceiling points is selected, but the setting is not limited to this and can be set arbitrarily.
Further, when the maximum number of ceiling points (1500 points) is selected and the "Momotaro points" reach the number of ceiling points, the transition to the super Momotaro bonus may be confirmed.
Further, the "Momotaro point" is initialized when the number of ceiling points is reached or when the limiter of the advantageous section is reached (becomes 0 points).

The opportunity to shift from the normal state B to AT is not limited to the case where the "Momotaro points" reach the number of ceiling points, and for example, when the number of games reaches the upper limit (number of ceilings), the shift to AT occurs. It may be controlled to do so.
Further, when the number of "Momotaro points" reaches the number of ceiling points, or when the number of games reaches the number of ceilings, a lottery for transition to AT may be performed based on a predetermined winning probability. ..
In this case, for example, every time the "Momotaro points" reach the number of ceiling points, or every time the number of games reaches the number of ceilings, the cycle is counted by +1 and the winning probability is different according to the number of cycles. good. For example, in the case of a specific number of cycles, the winning probability may be set high.

Further, in the "ceiling point selection table" shown in FIG. 37, the case where the number of ceiling points is determined based on the game setting value has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of internal modes having different expectations for transition to AT are used. May be provided in the normal state B, and the number of ceiling points may be determined based on the internal mode during the stay.

Further, the "number of points earned", which is an index of the transition to AT, is different in the amount of points earned per game depending on the state of acquisition of "companion characters" in the normal state B.
In the present embodiment, for example, three types of "companion characters" are provided: dog, monkey, and pheasant, and one or more companion characters can be acquired in this order.
The acquired fellow characters will be in the acquired state for a predetermined number of games (number of staying games), will be visually displayed to the player (see FIG. 45, etc.), and when the number of staying games is exhausted (the number of remaining games is "0"). (When it becomes), the acquisition status is canceled and it is hidden.
Although three types of fellow characters, dog, monkey, and pheasant, will be described, the description is not limited to this, and the number of fellow characters may be two or less, or four or more.
In addition, although it is possible to acquire fellow characters in the order of dog, monkey, and pheasant, it is not limited to this, and it is also possible to acquire them in any order.

Such a fellow character can be acquired by the fellow acquisition lottery process executed when the rare role is won in the normal state B.
Specifically, the main control unit 110 determines the number of newly acquireable fellow characters by lottery by referring to the "friend acquisition lottery table" shown in FIG. 38 when the rare role is won, and as a result. Is stored in the RAM of the main control unit 110.
For example, if the number of fellow characters currently being acquired is "0", "0" is selected as the number of fellows acquired with a probability of 16/256, and "1" (dog) is selected with a probability of 230/256. It is selected and set to have a 5/256 chance of selecting "2" (dogs and monkeys) and a 5/256 chance of selecting "3" (dogs, monkeys and foxes).
In addition, when the number of fellow characters currently being acquired is "1", that is, when only "dog" is acquired, "0" is selected as the number of fellow characters acquired with a probability of 16/256, and 200/256. It is set so that "1" (monkey) is selected with a probability of 40/256 and "2" (monkey and pheasant) is selected with a probability of 40/256.
In addition, when the number of fellow characters currently being acquired is "2", that is, when "dog" and "monkey" are acquired, "0" is selected as the number of fellow characters acquired with a probability of 56/256. , 200/256 is set so that "1" (Pheasant) is selected.

In addition, when the number of fellow characters currently acquired is "3", that is, when all fellow characters of "dog", "monkey", and "pheasant" are acquired, all fellow characters currently acquired are acquired. The number of staying games will be added (extended) to.
Specifically, the main control unit 110 determines the number of games to be added by lottery by referring to the "stay game number lottery table" shown in FIG. 39, and stores the result in the RAM of the main control unit 110. ..
As the number of games to be added, for example, "10 games" is selected with a probability of 86/256, "20 games" is selected with a probability of 85/256, and "30 games" is selected with a probability of 85/256. Is set to.
Not limited to this, even if the number of fellow characters currently being acquired is "1" or "2", the number of staying games may be added to all the fellow characters currently being acquired.

In addition, in the companion acquisition lottery process, when the companion character acquisition lottery is won, the "number of staying games" of the newly acquired companion character is determined.
Specifically, the main control unit 110 determines the stay game by lottery by referring to the "stay game number lottery table" shown in FIG. 39, and stores the result in the RAM of the main control unit 110.
For example, when the number of fellow characters after acquisition is "1", that is, when only "dog" is acquired, "10 games" is selected with a probability of 156/256 as the number of staying games, and 50/256. "20 games" is selected with a probability of 50/256, and "30 games" is selected with a probability of 50/256.
In addition, when the number of fellow characters after acquisition is "2", that is, when "dog" and "monkey" are acquired, there is a probability of 120/256 as the number of staying games of newly acquired fellow characters. It is set so that "10 games" is selected, "20 games" is selected with a probability of 80/256, and "30 games" is selected with a probability of 56/256.
In addition, when the number of fellow characters after acquisition is "3", that is, when "dog", "monkey", and "kiji" are acquired, the number of staying games of the newly acquired fellow characters is 86/256. "10 games" is selected with a probability of 85/256, "20 games" is selected with a probability of 85/256, and "30 games" is selected with a probability of 85/256.
In this way, as the number of fellow characters currently acquired increases, a larger number of games is selected as the number of staying games of the newly acquired fellow characters.
On the contrary, as the number of fellow characters currently acquired is smaller, a larger number of games may be selected as the number of staying games of newly acquired fellow characters.

Next, the point acquisition lottery process executed in the normal state B will be described.
In the point acquisition lottery process, the number of points earned to be given to the player is determined by lottery.
(If you have not acquired a fellow character)
In the normal state B, in the state where the fellow character is not acquired, the main control unit 110 refers to the "point acquisition lottery table (Momotaro)" shown in FIG. 41, based on the winning combination won in the game this time. , The number of acquired points is determined by lottery, and the result is stored in the RAM of the main control unit 110.
As for the number of points to be earned, if the game is in a 3-bet game, the number of points of 1 or more is always selected in each game, and "strong cherry">"strongwatermelon">"weakcherry">"weakwatermelon">"other winning combination". It is set so that a large number of points is selected based on the relationship of.
For example, when the "weak cherry" is won, "10 points" is selected with a probability of 230/256 and "30 points" is selected with a probability of 26/256 as the number of points to be earned. If you win the "other winning combination (replay role, bell role and" loss ")", "1 point" is selected with a probability of 250/256 and "10 points" with a probability of 6/256. Is set to be selected.

(If you have acquired a fellow character)
In the normal state B, in the state where the fellow character is acquired, the main control unit 110 is executed for each fellow character currently acquired, in addition to the point acquisition lottery process executed in the state where the fellow character is not acquired. Execute the point acquisition lottery process.
For example, when "dog" is acquired as a fellow character, the number of points acquired is based on the winning combination won in this game by referring to the "point acquisition lottery table (dog)" shown in FIG. 42. Is determined by lottery, and the result is stored in the RAM of the main control unit 110.
In addition, when "monkeys" have been acquired as fellow characters, the number of points earned is based on the winning combination won in this game by referring to the "point acquisition lottery table (monkey)" shown in FIG. 43. Is determined by lottery, and the result is stored in the RAM of the main control unit 110. In this case, since the lottery for the number of points to be earned is performed even when the "push order bell" is won, the degree of expectation for the number of points to be earned is higher than when the fellow character is "dog".

In addition, when the fellow character has acquired "Pheasant", the main control unit 110 acquires it in the game this time by referring to the "point magnification lottery table" shown in FIG. 44 when the rare role is won. A "multiplier" for accumulating the total number of earned points (total number of earned points) is determined by lottery (point multiplier lottery process), and the result is stored in the RAM of the main control unit 110.
For example, when "weak cherry" is won, "1.5 times" is selected as a magnification with a probability of 128/256, and "2 times" is selected with a probability of 128/256. If the "strong cherry" is won, "double" is selected with a probability of 200/256, and "triple" is selected with a probability of 56/256.

Then, the number of points calculated by "total number of points earned" x "magnification" is given to the player.
Therefore, it is advantageous for the player that a large number of points to be earned is determined by the point acquisition lottery process and a large multiplier is determined by the point multiplier lottery process.
The magnification selected in the point magnification lottery process is not limited to the magnification shown in FIG. 44, and can be arbitrarily set. For example, the magnification may be smaller than "1x". Further, when the magnification is selected a plurality of times, the largest magnification may be selected, or the magnification may be the sum of these.

In this way, in the normal state B, the number of points earned per game can be expected to increase in the state in which the companion character is acquired than in the state in which the companion character is not acquired, and further, the companion who has acquired the companion character. As the number of characters increases, the number of points earned per game can be expected to increase.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 45 to 48, an example of the effect of the point acquisition effect in the normal state B will be described.
As for the point acquisition effect, the effect related to the acquisition of points is executed on the main display 108a and the sub display 108b during the normal state B under the control of the main control unit 110 and the sub control unit 120.
Further, in the example shown below, a case where a 3-bet game is played will be described as an example.
The main display 108a and the sub-display 108b shown in FIGS. 45 to 48 correspond to the main display 108a and the sub-display 108b shown in FIG. 30, but the shapes are simplified for the sake of explanation. ing.

(If you have not acquired a fellow character)
In this game, we will explain the production when you have not acquired a fellow character.
During the game of the 3-bet game in the normal state B (at least one reel 141 is rotating after the operation of the start lever 103. The same applies hereinafter), the image of the main character is displayed in the display area R1 and the main character is displayed. The number of points (specific lottery result information) of the current "Momotaro points" is displayed on the display 108a (FIG. 45 (a)).
Then, after the third reel stop operation, the point number image G1 (specific information) indicating the number of points acquired in the game this time is displayed in the display area R1 (FIG. 45 (b)). In the example shown in FIG. 45, it is shown that "1 point" is determined as the number of points acquired corresponding to the main character.
Next, the total number of points image G2 (specific information) showing the total number of points earned in this game is displayed on the main display 108a (FIG. 45 (c)). In the example shown in FIG. 45, since the companion character has not been acquired, the total number of points acquired is "1 point", which is the same as the number of points image G1.
Next, the total number of points earned shown in the total number of points image G2 is added to the number of points of the current "Momotaro points" and displayed (FIG. 45 (d)). In the example shown in FIG. 45, it is shown that the "Momotaro point" has been updated from 100 points to 101 points.

(If you have acquired a fellow character)
Next, in this game, the production when a fellow character is acquired will be described.
The example shown in FIG. 46 is a state in which only "dog" is acquired as a fellow character, and the example shown in FIG. 47 is a state in which "dog" and "monkey" are acquired as fellow characters. The example shown in 48 is a state in which all of "dog", "monkey", and "pheasant" are acquired as fellow characters.
In the normal state B, during the game of the 3-bet game, the image of the acquired fellow character is displayed in the display area R2 (FIGS. 46 (a), 47 (a), 48 (a)).
Then, after the third reel stop operation, the point number image G1 indicating the number of points acquired for each fellow character acquired in the game this time is displayed in the display area R2 (FIGS. 46 (b) and 47 (b), respectively). , FIG. 48 (b).
In the examples shown in FIGS. 46 to 48, the number of points earned corresponding to the fellow character (dog) is "1 point", the number of points earned corresponding to the fellow character (monkey) is "10 points", and the number of earned points corresponds to the fellow character (pheasant). It shows that "3 times" has been decided as the magnification to be used.

Next, on the main display 108a, a total point number image G2 showing the total number of points earned in this game is displayed (FIGS. 46 (c), 47 (c), 48 (c)).
In the example shown in FIG. 46, it is shown that the total number of points earned is "2 points" by "1 point" (Momotaro) + "1 point" (dog).
In the example shown in FIG. 47, it is shown that the total number of points earned is "12 points" by "1 point" (Momotaro) + "1 point" (dog) + "10 points" (monkey).
In the example shown in FIG. 48, the total number of points earned is "1 point" (Momotaro) + "1 point" (dog) + "10 points" (monkey) "12 points" plus "triple" (pheasant). It shows that it is the accumulated "36 points".

Then, the total number of points earned shown in the total number of points image G2 is added to the current "Momotaro points" and displayed on the main display 108a (FIGS. 46 (d), 47 (d), 48. (D)).
In the example shown in FIG. 46, it is shown that the "Momotaro point" has been updated from 100 points to 102 points.
In the example shown in FIG. 47, it is shown that the "Momotaro point" has been updated from 100 points to 112 points.
In the example shown in FIG. 48, it is shown that the "Momotaro point" has been updated from 100 points to 136 points.

As described above, during the 3-bet game in the normal state B, the number of points acquired in the game this time or more is visually displayed to the player.
In addition, the current number of "Momotaro points" is visually displayed to the player, and the number of points earned in this game is added and updated.
In this way, the number of points of "Momotaro points", which is an index of transition to AT, and the number of points earned to be added to each game "Momotaro points" are displayed on the display 108, so that the player can go to AT. It is possible to raise the expectation of the transition and enhance the interest.
In addition, since the amount of increase in "Momotaro points" per game differs depending on the presence or absence of the current fellow characters and the difference in the number of acquisitions, the player pays attention to the acquisition production of the fellow characters in the normal state B. It can be more interesting.

Further, in the normal state B, as described above, when the "Momotaro point" reaches the upper limit value (the number of ceiling points), it is controlled to shift from the normal state B to the AT. Even when the "AT direct hit lottery" is won, the normal state B is changed to the AT (arrow b in FIG. 36).
Specifically, the main control unit 110 goes to the AT by referring to the "AT direct hit lottery table" shown in FIG. 40 when the rare role is won or the "freeze replay" is won during the normal state B. (AT direct hit lottery process).
For example, winning with a probability of 2/256 when winning "weak cherry", winning with a probability of 32/256 when winning "strong cherry", winning with a probability of 1/256 when winning "weak watermelon", It is set to win with a probability of 36/256 when the "strong watermelon" is won, and to win with a probability of 256/256 when the "freeze replay" is won.
Further, the trigger of the transition lottery to AT may be other than the rare role or the "freeze replay". For example, the transition lottery may be won with a predetermined probability when the replay role or the bell role is won.
Further, in the AT direct hit lottery, the higher the game setting value currently set in the slot machine 101, the higher the winning probability may be.

Further, in the normal state B, when the "Momotaro points" reach the upper limit (the number of ceiling points), or when the AT direct hit lottery is won and the transfer to the AT is confirmed, the player is transferred to the AT. In order to raise expectations, a precursor effect of a predetermined number of games (for example, 16 games) is executed on the display 108.
Therefore, even if the transition to the AT is confirmed, the transition to the AT will not be performed immediately, but the transition to the AT will be performed through the precursor game.
The precursor effect may be switched to a background image different from that in the normal state B on the display 108, or the appearance rate of a predetermined character may be higher than in the normal game B, and the AT of the player. Anything that raises expectations for the transition to AT may be used, and it is notified that the transition to AT will be finally made.

In addition, if the "Momotaro points" have not reached the upper limit (the number of ceiling points), or if you win the rare role but do not win the AT direct hit lottery, you will be notified that you will not finally move to AT. A predetermined number of games to be played is executed on the display 108.
The precursory effect and the precursory effect are basically set in the same way as the effect image (background image and character image that appears), and by making the final notification content different, the player's expectation is finally reached. Can be attracted to.

The precursory effect may be generated immediately when the transition to AT is confirmed, or may be generated after the execution of a predetermined number of games (for example, 3 games). In addition, the Gase precursor effect may be generated without fail when the rare role that triggers the transition to AT is won, or may be generated with a predetermined probability.
Further, the number of games for the precursory effect and the precursory effect may be any number of games, or may be selectively determined from a plurality of games.

(Pseudo bonus preparation stage)
The pseudo-bonus preparation stage is a gaming state in which the player stays for the first time after entering the AT, and continues until the pseudo-bonus stage is entered.
Specifically, they will continue to stay until they win the "Red 7 Replay" or "White 7 Replay".
Then, when the red 7 replay or the white 7 replay is won, an image prompting the stop operation of the 7 symbols is displayed (for example, "Aim for 7!") Based on the operation of the start lever 103 of the winning game. , The push order navigation that prompts the reverse push is displayed.
If you have won the "Red 7 Replay", after the 3rd reel stop operation, you will move to the "Pseudo Bonus Stage (Momotaro Bonus)", and if you have won the "White 7 Replay", the 3rd After the reel stop operation, the stage shifts to the "pseudo bonus stage (super momotarou bonus)" (arrow c in FIG. 36).
In addition, if the Momotarou bonus is determined by winning the "Red 7 Replay", a promotion lottery that can be promoted to the Super Momotarou Bonus may be performed with a predetermined winning probability.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the winning probabilities of "Red 7 Replay" and "White 7 Replay" are common to all the set values, but the setting is not limited to this, and for example, the higher the setting, the more red. It may be easier to win the White 7 Replay than the 7 Replay.
Further, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that, in the pseudo-bonus preparation stage, the pseudo-bonus corresponding to the previously won replay is transferred from the "red 7 replay" and the "white 7 replay", but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the type of pseudo bonus to be transferred is determined when the transfer to AT is confirmed (when the "Momotaro points" reach the number of ceiling points in normal state B, or when the AT direct hit lottery is won). It may be decided by lottery based on the winning probability.

Further, during the pseudo-bonus preparation stage, the push order navigation is performed with a predetermined probability (for example, 10%) under the control of the AT.
Therefore, since the frequency of push order navigation is low, there is a high possibility that the number of medals held by the player will decrease as the game progresses during the pseudo-bonus preparation stage.
In this way, during the pseudo-bonus preparation stage, the number of medals is likely to decrease, but the number of medals held by the player is significantly reduced compared to other non-AT controlled gaming states (normal state, etc.). You can wait for a pseudo-bonus without having to wait.
In addition, even when looping between the pseudo-bonus preparation stage, the pseudo-bonus, and the chance zone stage, it is possible to prevent the medals from being paid out excessively to the player, and the profit balance between the game store and the player is greatly disrupted. Can be prevented.
During the pseudo-bonus preparation stage, the difference in the number of medals (difference between the number of medals inserted and the number of medals paid out) after entering the pseudo-bonus preparation stage is controlled to be a predetermined number (for example, 0) or more. You may.
For example, the main control unit 110 monitors the number of medals inserted and the number of medals paid out when entering the pseudo-bonus preparation stage, and replays or small so that the number of medals inserted does not exceed the number of medals paid out. Control may be performed to temporarily increase the winning probability of the winning combination.
As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being uncomfortable due to the decrease in the number of medals held by the player even during AT.

(Pseudo bonus stage)
The pseudo-bonus stage is controlled by the AT, and the push order is notified with a predetermined probability (for example, 100%). Therefore, during the pseudo-bonus stage, the player is in an advantageous gaming state where an increase in medals can be expected.
In the pseudo-bonus stage, a momotarou bonus and a super momotarou bonus are provided as types of pseudo-bonus, and the pseudo-bonus determined in the pseudo-bonus preparation stage is entered.
The Momotarou Bonus can stay for a period of up to 20 games, and the Super Momotarou Bonus can stay for a period of up to 30 games.
Then, when the number of games in the pseudo-bonus is exhausted (the number of remaining games becomes "0"), the main control unit 110 controls to shift from the pseudo-bonus stage to the onitage stage (FIG. 36). Arrow e).
Further, during the pseudo-bonus stage, image effects are executed on the main display 108a and the sub-display 108b according to the type of the pseudo-bonus, and the game information during the pseudo-bonus (for example, "number of remaining games" and "number of acquired games"". Etc.) is displayed.

During the Momotarou Bonus and Super Momotarou Bonus, a stage type lottery process is executed to determine the type of chance zone stage to be transferred next time (transfer destination stage).
There are three transition destination stages: "dog stage", "monkey stage", and "pheasant stage".
In the stage type lottery process, a promotion lottery for the transition destination stage is performed, and if the promotion lottery is won, one is promoted in the order of "dog stage"->"monkeystage"->"pheasantstage".
At the time of the first hit of the Momotarou bonus and the super Momotarou bonus, it is assumed that, for example, "dog stage" is set as the initial value in the transition destination stage.

Specifically, the main control unit 110 performs a promotion lottery for the transition destination stage based on the winning combination won in each game this time.
During the Momotarou bonus, the main control unit 110 performs a promotion lottery for the transition destination stage by referring to the "stage type lottery table (Momotaro bonus)" shown in FIG. 49, and the result is sent to the RAM of the main control unit 110. Remember.
For example, if you win the "strong cherry", you win the promotion lottery with a probability of 128/256, and if you win the "push order bell", you win the promotion lottery with a probability of 16/256, and " If the other winning combination (replay role, "missing") is won, the promotion lottery is set to be won with a probability of 6/256.

During the super momotarou bonus, the main control unit 110 performs a promotion lottery for the transition destination stage by referring to the "stage type lottery table (super momotarou bonus)" shown in FIG. 50, and the result is obtained by the main control unit 110. Store in RAM.
For example, if you win the "strong cherry", you win the promotion lottery with a probability of 128/256, and if you win the "push order bell", you win the promotion lottery with a probability of 56/256, and " If the other winning combination (replay role, "missing") is won, the promotion lottery is set to be won with a probability of 16/256.
In this way, the super momotarou bonus is set so that it is easier to promote the transition destination stage than the momotarou bonus.
Then, the transition destination stage determined at the end of the Momotarou bonus or the super Momotarou bonus becomes the stage to be executed in the chance zone to be transitioned next time.
The promotion of the transition destination stage is not limited to one, and two or more may be promoted. In addition, the transition destination stage may be demoted.
Further, at the time of the first hit of the Momotarou bonus and the super Momotarou bonus, the transition destination stage other than the "dog stage" may be set as the initial value.

In addition, if the lottery result of the destination stage of the chance zone stage to be transferred next time is promoted to "Pheasant stage" during the Momotarou bonus and the super momotarou bonus, the destination stage of the chance zone stage to be transferred one after another will be further changed. It is supposed to decide.
Furthermore, if the lottery result of the transition destination stage of the chance zone stage to be transferred one after another is promoted to the "Pheasant stage" during the Momotarou bonus and the super momotarou bonus, the transition destination of the chance zone stage to be transferred to the next one after another. Decide the stage.
In this way, if the transition destination stage of the chance zone stage is promoted to the highest "Pheasant stage" during the Momotarou bonus and the super momotarou bonus, the transition destination stage of the next chance zone stage is determined. It is designed to do.

Then, in the state where the transition destination stage of the chance zone stage after the next time is decided, the control is performed as follows during the next chance zone stage.
When the transition destination stage of the next chance zone stage is the "dog stage", in the next chance zone stage, if the "AT continuation lottery" described later is not won, the stage shifts to the normal state A. In this case, the transition destination stage (“dog stage”) of the chance zone stage after the next one that has already been decided disappears.
On the other hand, if the destination stage of the next chance zone stage is "monkey stage" or "pheasant stage", the continuation of AT will be confirmed at the next chance zone stage regardless of whether the AT continuation lottery is successful or not. Be controlled. Therefore, after the end of the next chance zone stage, it is controlled to move to the pseudo bonus preparation stage.

In addition, in the stage type lottery process, a pseudo-bonus consecutive villa lottery is also performed at the same time.
Specifically, during the Momotarou Bonus and Super Momotarou Bonus, for example, if you win the "Weak Cherry", you will win the consecutive villa lottery with a probability of 6/256, and if you win the "Strong Cherry", , 128/256 chance of winning the consecutive villa lottery, if you win the "weak watermelon", 36/256 chance of winning the consecutive villa lottery, and if you win the "strong watermelon", 150 It is set to win the consecutive villa lottery with a probability of / 256 (see FIGS. 49 and 50).
Then, when the pseudo-bonus consecutive villa lottery is won, the main control unit 110 controls to shift to the pseudo-bonus preparation stage after the end of the pseudo-bonus stage (arrow d in FIG. 36).

(Onitaiji Stage)
The onitage stage is a gaming state controlled by non-AT.
The onitage stage can be entered after the end of the pseudo-bonus stage and can stay for a period until the predetermined number of games is exhausted.
When the number of staying games is exhausted (the number of remaining games becomes "0"), the destination stage of the next chance zone stage to be transferred is notified, and the main control unit 110 moves from the onitage stage to the chance zone stage. It is controlled to shift to (arrow f in FIG. 36).
The onitage stage may be controlled by the AT, and for example, the push order navigation may be performed with a predetermined probability (for example, 10%).

The number of games staying on the onitaiji stage is determined when the onitaiji stage is entered.
Specifically, the main control unit 110 draws the number of staying games based on the transition destination stage determined during the immediately preceding pseudo-bonus stage by referring to the “staying game number lottery table” shown in FIG. 51. The result is stored in the RAM of the main control unit 110.

For example, when the "dog stage" is determined as the transition destination stage, "3 games" is selected with a probability of 156/256 and "4 games" is selected with a probability of 50/256 as the number of staying games. It is set so that "5 games" is selected with a probability of 50/256.
If "monkey stage" is determined as the transition destination stage, "3 games" is selected with a probability of 120/256 and "4 games" is selected with a probability of 80/256 as the number of staying games. It is set so that "5 games" is selected with a probability of 56/256.
If the "Pheasant stage" is determined as the transition destination stage, "3 games" is selected with a probability of 86/256 and "4 games" is selected with a probability of 85/256 as the number of staying games. It is set so that "5 games" is selected with a probability of 85/256.
In this way, a large number of staying games is set to be selected based on the relationship of "dog stage"<"monkeystage"<"pheasantstage".
It should be noted that the number of staying games may be fixedly selected for the transition destination stage.
For example, if the "dog stage" is determined, "3 games" is always selected as the number of staying games, and if the "monkey stage" is determined, "4 games" is always selected. When the "Pheasant stage" is determined, it may be set so that "5 games" is always selected.
Further, it may be set so that the selected transition destination stage is narrowed down as the number of staying games is large.
For example, when the "dog stage" is determined, any one of "3 games", "4 games", and "5 games" is selected as the number of staying games, and the "sal stage" is determined. May be set so that "5 games" is always selected when "3 games" or "4 games" are selected and "Kiji stage" is determined.

During the onitage stage, the player can predict which stage the transition destination stage of the next chance zone stage is by changing the display content of the main display 108a.
As mentioned above, the number of staying games in the onitaiji stage is set so that a large number of staying games is selected based on the relationship of "dog stage"<"monkeystage"<"pheasantstage" as the destination stage. Has been done.
Therefore, during the onitage stage, the longer the period until the final transfer destination stage is notified, the higher the possibility that the transfer destination stage that is advantageous to the player is selected.
From this point of view, in the production during the onitaiji stage, the production that raises the expectation that the game of the onitaiji stage will continue is executed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 55, an example of the effect during the onitage stage will be described.
In this production, for example, the main character "Momotaro" is executed to exterminate the enemy character "Oni", and as the number of executed games is increased, many "Oni" are exterminated.
After entering the onitaiji stage, the image of "Oni A" is displayed on the main display 108a based on the operation of the start lever 103 of the first game. From the first game to the third game, for example, an effect in which "Momotaro" attacks "Oni A" is executed (FIG. 55 (a)).
Then, after the operation of stopping the third reel in the third game, the effect that "Momotaro" defeats "Oni A" is executed.
At this time, when "3 games" is selected as the number of staying games in the onitaiji stage, a screen notifying the transition to the next chance zone stage is displayed on the main display 108a (FIG. 55 (b). )).
On this screen, for example, an image imitating a roulette (roulette image) is displayed, and the item indicated by the arrow when the rotation of the roulette image is stopped indicates the transition destination stage of the chance zone stage to be transitioned next time.

On the other hand, if a game other than "3 games" is selected as the number of staying games on the onitage stage after the third reel stop operation of the third game, an image imitating the effect button 102c is displayed on the main display 108a. , A display prompting the operation of the effect button 102c is displayed (FIG. 55 (c)).
When the effect button 102c is operated by the player, for example, a cut-in image of the main character is displayed on the main display 108a, and a character image of "still!" Is displayed (FIG. 55 (d)). .. In addition, a character image of "Next" indicating continuation to the next game is displayed at the lower right of the screen.

Then, based on the operation of the start lever 103 in the fourth game, the image of "Oni B" is displayed on the main display 108a (FIG. 55 (e)).
Then, after the operation of stopping the third reel in the fourth game, the effect that "Momotaro" defeats "Oni B" is executed.
At this time, if "4 games" is selected as the number of staying games in the onitage stage, the roulette screen is displayed and the transition destination stage is notified (FIG. 55 (f)).
The area ratio of each item of the roulette image displayed at the end of the fourth game is different from that of the roulette image displayed at the end of the third game (FIG. 55 (b)). For example, the area ratio of "dogs" is getting smaller, and the area ratio of "monkeys" and "pheasants" is getting bigger.
That is, in the fourth game, the expectation that "monkey stage" or "pheasant stage" is selected is higher than in the third game.

On the other hand, when "5 games" is selected as the number of staying games on the onitage stage after the operation of stopping the third reel of the fourth game, an image imitating the effect button 102c is displayed on the main display 108a. A display prompting the operation of the effect button 102c is displayed (FIG. 55 (g)).
When the effect button 102c is operated by the player, for example, a cut-in image of the main character is displayed on the main display 108a, and a character image of "still more!" Is displayed (FIG. 55 (h)). ). In addition, a character image of "Next" indicating continuation to the next game is displayed at the lower right of the screen.

Then, based on the operation of the start lever 103 in the fifth game, the image of "Oni C" is displayed on the main display 108a (FIG. 55 (i)).
Then, after the operation of stopping the third reel in the fifth game, the effect of "Momotaro" defeating "Oni C" is executed. After that, the roulette screen is displayed and the transition destination stage is notified (FIG. 55 (j)).
The area ratio of each item of the roulette image displayed at the end of the fifth game is different from that of the roulette image displayed at the end of the fourth game (FIG. 55 (f)). For example, the area ratio of "Pheasant" occupies most of the area.
That is, in the fifth game, the expectation that the "Pheasant stage" is selected is higher than in the fourth game.

In this way, in the onitage stage, the more the game continues, the more likely it is that the destination stage that is advantageous to the player will be selected as the destination stage of the chance zone stage to be transferred next time.
As a result, the player can play the game with the expectation that the onitaiji stage will continue for a long time, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

If a rare role is won during the onitaiji stage, a promotion lottery for the transition destination stage may be executed.
For example, if a rare role is won, there is a 10% chance that the promotion lottery will be won. Further, by referring to the "stage type lottery table" shown in FIG. 49 or FIG. 50, the promotion lottery of the transition destination stage may be performed based on the winning winning combination.
As a result, the player can play with the expectation that the rare role will be won during the onitaiji stage, and the interest can be enhanced.

Further, in the onitage stage, during the 3-bet game, the period until the number of staying games is exhausted is controlled so as not to shift to another gaming state except when the limiter of the advantageous section is reached.
For example, even if the "freeze replay" is won in the internal lottery process, it is processed in the same manner as the "normal replay", so that it does not shift to AT.
Therefore, in the 3-bet game during the onitaiji stage, the game state is such that the period of up to 5 games can be surely exhausted (completed).
From such a point, the continuous effect executed on the display 108 during the onitage stage does not end in the middle of the effect.
As a result, on the onitaiji stage, for example, a continuous production such as a premier production can be completed to the end and shown to the player without being interrupted in the middle.

(Chance zone stage)
The chance zone stage is entered after the end of the onitaiji stage, and the stage notified in the final game of the onitaiji stage immediately before is executed.
Not limited to this, when entering the chance zone stage, a promotion lottery for the transition destination stage may be performed.
The chance zone stage has "dog stage", "sal stage", and "kiji stage", and until the specified number of games set for each stage is exhausted (until the number of remaining games reaches "0"). It continues, and during this time, the push order navigation for the push order bell is performed.
The "dog stage" continues for 32 games, and push order navigation is performed with a predetermined probability (for example, 20%). In the "monkey stage", 32 games are continued, and push order navigation is performed with a predetermined probability (for example, 50%). The "Pheasant stage" continues for 16 games, and push order navigation is performed with a predetermined probability (for example, 70%).
In this way, based on the relationship of "dog stage"<"monkeystage"<"pheasantstage", the frequency of push order navigation is set to be high. Therefore, the player will play the game with the expectation that he will enter the "Pheasant stage" where the increase in medals can be expected most.
A predetermined number of games may be added to the specified number of games (the number of remaining games) during the execution of each stage. For example, if you win the extra lottery by performing an extra lottery with the winning of the rare role as an opportunity, you can extend the stay of the stage by adding the predetermined number of games to the remaining number of games in each stage. You may.
Further, in each stage of the chance zone stage, as in the pseudo-bonus preparation stage described above, the difference number of medals after entering each stage may be controlled to be a predetermined number (for example, 0) or more. ..
For example, the main control unit 110 monitors the number of medals inserted and the number of medals paid out when the player enters each stage, and plays or plays a small role so that the number of medals inserted does not exceed the number of medals paid out. Control may be performed to temporarily increase the winning probability.

In the chance zone stage, an AT continuation lottery process is performed in which the continuation of AT is determined by lottery.
Specifically, the main control unit 110 draws a lottery for whether or not the AT continuation is successful based on the winning combination won in the game this time by referring to the "AT continuation lottery table" shown in FIGS. 52 to 54, and the result is Is stored in the RAM of the main control unit 110.
In the case of the "dog stage", the main control unit 110 performs the AT continuous lottery by referring to the "AT continuous lottery table (dog)" shown in FIG. 52.
For example, if you win the "weak cherry", you will win the continuous lottery with a probability of 25/256, and if you win the "other winning combination (replay role," loss ")", you will win 2/256. If you win the continuous lottery with a probability and win the "push order bell", it is set to win the continuous lottery with a probability of 16/256.

In the case of the "monkey stage", the main control unit 110 performs the AT continuous lottery by referring to the "AT continuous lottery table (monkey)" shown in FIG. 53.
For example, if you win the "weak cherry", you will win the continuous lottery with a probability of 56/256, and if you win the "other winning combination (replay role," loss ")", you will win 12/256. If you win the continuous lottery with a probability and win the "push order bell", it is set to win the continuous lottery with a probability of 24/256.

In the case of the "Pheasant stage", the main control unit 110 performs the AT continuous lottery by referring to the "AT continuous lottery table (Pheasant)" shown in FIG. 54.
For example, if you win the "weak cherry", you will win the continuous lottery with a probability of 128/256, and if you win the "other winning combination (replay role," loss ")", you will win 86/256. If you win the continuous lottery with a probability and win the "push order bell", it is set to win the continuous lottery with a probability of 40/256.

In addition, "when you win a prize in the push order bell" means "when the push order navigation is hidden and you answer correctly in a specific push order and win a prize in the push order bell" when the push order bell is won. When the navigation is displayed and you answer correctly in a specific push order and win the push order bell "and" When the push order navigation is displayed and you answer incorrectly in a specific push order and do not win the push order bell " Means to include.
Therefore, in the "Pheasant stage" where the push order navigation occurs frequently, the expectation of winning the AT continuous lottery is high.

In this way, based on the relationship of "dog stage"<"monkeystage"<"pheasantstage", the expectation of winning the AT continuous lottery is set to be high.
Then, when the number of remaining games becomes "0" and the AT continuous lottery is not won, the main control unit 110 controls to shift from the chance zone stage to the normal state A (arrow in FIG. 36). g). On the other hand, when the AT continuous lottery is won, the main control unit 110 controls to shift from the chance zone stage to the pseudo bonus preparation stage (arrow h in FIG. 36).
In the chance zone stage, the AT continuous lottery may be performed in place of or in addition to the AT continuous lottery process described above, based on a predetermined winning probability (for example, 1%) for each game.
Further, during the chance zone stage, for example, an image effect for notifying the result of the continuous lottery of AT is executed on the main display 108a and the sub display 108b, and the game information (for example, "number of remaining games" and "number of acquired games" are executed. "Etc.) is displayed.

Up to this point, the configuration of the slot machine 101 and each gaming state have been described, but the slot machine 101 as described above has the following features under the control of the main control unit 110 and the sub control unit 120.
(1) Production control during a 2-bet game in the normal state B (2) Production control when the power is restored in the normal state B These features will be described in the following order.

(1) Production control during the 2-bet game in the normal state B In the normal state B, the execution of the following processes is restricted during the 2-bet game.
For example, the main control unit 110 should not execute the "ceiling point selection lottery process", "friend acquisition lottery process", "point multiplier lottery process", "point acquisition lottery process", and "AT direct hit lottery process". Control.
In this way, during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, it is controlled so that the lottery process related to the transition to AT and the process related to the acquisition (addition) of "Momotaro points" are not performed.
Therefore, during the two-bet game in the normal state B, the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is reduced without the lottery regarding the transition to the AT being performed, which is disadvantageous to the player.
In addition, during the 2-bet game, you may win "Bonus B", which is not won during the 3-bet game. If you win "Bonus B", the game with 0 net increase will be the predetermined game (6 games). Since it continues for a while, the remaining number of games in the advantageous section will be consumed.

Therefore, in the slot machine 101 of the present embodiment, during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, an effect of urging the execution of the 3-bet game (3-bet reminder effect) is executed on the main display 108a and the sub-display 108b. It has become like.
For example, as the output of information (special information) prompting the execution of the 3-bet game, the display or non-display of the character information and the effect image on the display 108, the output of the sound from the speaker 109, and the light emission by the lamp 111 are performed. Will be.

Hereinafter, an example of production during the two-bet game in the normal state B will be described with reference to FIGS. 56 to 61.
As an example of the effect shown below, the effect pattern 1 to the effect pattern 6 will be described as an example. It should be noted that each of the effect patterns 1 to 6 can be executed independently, and for example, any effect pattern may be set by the operation of a clerk at the amusement park, and each game or a predetermined number of games may be set. In addition, any effect pattern may be selected.
In the production example shown below, a case where a fellow character has not been acquired will be described as an example.
Further, the main display 108a and the sub-display 108b shown in FIGS. 56 to 61 correspond to the main display 108a and the sub-display 108b shown in FIG. 30, but the shapes are simplified for the sake of explanation. ing.

The effect pattern 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 56.
When the effect pattern 1 is selected during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, the following effect is performed.
During the game of the 2-bet game, the image of the main character is displayed in the display area R1 and the current number of "Momotaro points" is displayed in the main display 108a as in the game of the 3-bet game. (FIGS. 56 (a) and 56 (b)).
After the third reel stop operation, unlike during the 3-bet game (see FIG. 45), the point number image G1 (specific information) is not displayed in the display area R1, and the total point number image G2 is displayed on the main display 108a. (Specific information) is also not displayed (FIG. 56 (c)).
Further, the "Momotaro points" displayed on the main display 108a remain the same number of points (100 points) as at the start of the game this time, and are not updated (added) (FIG. 56 (c)). ).
This is because the "point acquisition lottery process" is not executed during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, so that the number of acquired points is not acquired (added). The "point acquisition lottery process" may be executed to hide the number of points acquired in the game this time in the point number image G1 and the total point number image G2.

As described above, in the effect pattern 1, the point number image G1 and the total point number image G2 that are always displayed in each game are not displayed during the 3-bet game, and 1 or more points are added during the 3-bet game. The number of "Momotaro points" is not updated (added).
Therefore, when playing a game with a regular number of bets (3 bets), it is possible to give the player a sense of incongruity that the displayed image or effect is not executed, and the player is in the process of executing the 2-bet game. You can make them recognize that there is.
As a result, for example, when the player mistakenly operates the 2-bet button 102b and is executing the 2-bet game as it is, or when two medals are inserted into the medal insertion slot 102, the start lever 103 By operating the above, if the 2-bet game is accidentally executed, the 3-bet game can be returned immediately, and the player can be prevented from suffering a disadvantage.
Further, in the effect pattern 1, although the number of points is not added, it is a display mode (normal display mode) in which the number of points of the current "Momotaro points" is displayed. Therefore, for example, by accidentally executing the game with a non-regular number of bets (2 bets), the player may be given the impression that the "Momotaro points" may have been reset (disappeared). It can be avoided.

Next, the effect pattern 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 57.
When the effect pattern 2 is selected during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, the following effect is performed.
In the normal state B, based on the operation of the start lever 103 in the 2-bet game, the image of the main character is displayed in the display area R1, and the current number of "Momotaro points" is displayed in the main display 108a. (FIG. 57 (a)).
During the game of the 2-bet game, the number of points of the "Momotaro points" displayed on the main display 108a changes to the display mode (specific display mode) of "-" (hereinafter referred to as "minus display") (FIG. 57). (B)). That is, the display mode is such that the current number of "Momotaro points" cannot be recognized.
Then, even after the operation of stopping the third reel, the number of "Momotaro points" is displayed as a negative display (FIG. 57 (c)).
Further, after the third reel stop operation, the point number image G1 and the total point number image G2 are not displayed as in the effect pattern 1 (FIG. 57 (c)).

As described above, in the effect pattern 2, the number of points image G1 that is always displayed during the 3-bet game, the total number of points image G2, and the number of points of the current "Momotaro points" are not displayed.
Therefore, it is possible to give a sense of discomfort to the player, and by making the display mode disadvantageous to the player, the player is made to recognize that the 2-bet game is being executed, and the game is played in the 3-bet game. Can be encouraged.
As described above, even if the effect pattern 2 is executed, the two-bet game is continuously performed, so that it is possible to prevent the player from suffering a disadvantage.

Next, the effect pattern 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 58.
When the effect pattern 3 is selected during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, the following effect is performed.
In the normal state B, based on the operation of the start lever 103 in the 2-bet game, the image of the main character is displayed in the display area R1, and the current "Momotaro point" is displayed in the main display 108a (FIG. 58). (A)).
During the game of the 2-bet game, the number of points of the "Momotaro points" displayed on the main display 108a changes to a negative display as in the effect pattern 2.
Further, during the game of the 2-bet game, an image (curtain image) imitating a curtain is displayed in the display area R1 and the display area R2 of the sub-display 108b (FIG. 58 (b)). That is, the display mode is such that the point number image G1 cannot be recognized.
Then, even after the third reel stop operation, the display of the "Momotaro point" is displayed as a minus display, and the curtain image is continuously displayed in the display area R1 and the display area R2 (FIG. 58 (c)). ).

Next, the effect pattern 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 59.
When the effect pattern 4 is selected during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, the following effect is performed.
In the normal state B, based on the operation of the start lever 103 in the 2-bet game, the image of the main character is displayed in the display area R1, and the current "Momotaro point" is displayed in the main display 108a (FIG. 59). (A)).
During the game of the 2-bet game, the curtain image is displayed in all the display areas of the main display 108a and the sub display 108b (FIG. 59 (b)). That is, the display mode is such that the point number image G1, the total point number image G2, and the "Momotaro point" cannot be recognized.
Then, the curtain image is displayed even after the operation of stopping the third reel (FIG. 59 (c)).

As described above, in the effect pattern 3 and the effect pattern 4, the number of points image G1 that is always displayed during the 3-bet game, the total number of points image G2, and the number of points of the current "Momotaro points" are not displayed.
Further, an image (curtain image) that is not displayed in the 3-bet game is displayed.
Therefore, it is possible to give a sense of discomfort to the player, and by making the display mode disadvantageous to the player, the player is made to recognize that the 2-bet game is being executed, and the game is played in the 3-bet game. Can be encouraged.
As described above, even by executing the effect pattern 3 and the effect pattern 4, it is possible to prevent the player from suffering a disadvantage because the two-bet game is continuously performed.

Next, the effect pattern 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 60.
When the effect pattern 5 is selected during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, the following effect is performed.
In the normal state B, based on the operation of the start lever 103 in the 2-bet game, the image of the main character is displayed in the display area R1, and the current "Momotaro point" is displayed in the main display 108a (FIG. 60). (A)).
During the game of the 2-bet game, a character image for encouraging the game to be played in the 3-bet game is displayed in the display areas of the main display 108a and the sub-display 108b (FIG. 60 (b)).
For example, a part of the character image is displayed on the main display 108a, and the rest of the character image is displayed on the sub display 108b, and the main display 108a and the sub display 108b are displayed. For example, the text "Please make a 3-bet" is scrolled and displayed. All character images may be displayed on either the main display 108a or the sub display 108b.
Further, the character image is displayed even after the operation of stopping the third reel (FIG. 60 (c)).

In this way, in the effect pattern 5, the point number image G1 and the total point number image G2 that are always displayed during the 3-bet game are not displayed, and the "Momotaro points" are not updated (added). ..
In addition, a character image for encouraging the game to be played in the 3-bet game, which is not displayed in the 3-bet game, is displayed.
Therefore, it is possible to give a sense of discomfort to the player, and by making the display mode disadvantageous to the player, the player is made to recognize that the 2-bet game is being executed, and the game is played in the 3-bet game. Can be encouraged.
As described above, even if the effect pattern 5 is executed, the two-bet game is continuously performed, so that it is possible to prevent the player from suffering a disadvantage.

Next, the effect pattern 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 61.
When the effect pattern 6 is selected during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, the following effect is performed.
In the normal state B, during the game of the 2-bet game, the image of the main character is displayed in the display area R1, and the current "Momotaro point" is displayed on the main display 108a (FIG. 61 (a)).
Then, after the third reel stop operation, the point number image G1 is displayed in the display area R1 (FIG. 61 (b)). For example, an image showing that the number of points earned is "-1 point" is displayed.
Next, the total number of points image G2 is displayed on the main display 108a (FIG. 61 (c)). For example, an image showing that the total number of points earned is "-1 point" is displayed.
Then, the total number of points earned shown by the total number of points image G2 is added to the current "Momotaro points" and displayed on the main display 108a (FIG. 61 (d)). In the example shown in FIG. 61, it is shown that the "Momotaro point" has been updated from 100 points to 99 points. That is, the display mode (specific display mode) is obtained by subtracting the number of "Momotaro points".

As described above, in the effect pattern 6, the point number image G1 having 0 points or less and the total point number image G2, which are not displayed in the 3-bet game, are displayed and are not subtracted in the 3-bet game. The "Momotaro point" is displayed in the subtracted display mode.
Therefore, it is possible to give a sense of discomfort to the player, and by making the display mode disadvantageous to the player, the player is made to recognize that the 2-bet game is being executed, and the game is played in the 3-bet game. Can be encouraged.
As described above, even if the effect pattern 6 is executed, the two-bet game is continuously performed, so that it is possible to prevent the player from suffering a disadvantage.
In addition, in the effect pattern 6, it is assumed that the "Momotaro points" are the effects of subtraction, and the actually stored "Momotaro points" are not subtracted, but actually. You may execute the process of subtracting the "Momotaro point".

As described above, the slot machine 101 of the present embodiment displays an image (point number image G1, total point number image G2, etc.) that is always displayed in each game during the 2-bet game in the normal state B. Control not to.
Further, during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, an image (curtain image, 3-bet reminder character image, subtraction image of the number of points, etc.) that is not displayed in the 3-bet game is controlled to be displayed.
As a result, in the production during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, it is possible to give a sense of discomfort to the player and encourage the player to play the 3-bet game.

In "(1) Production control during the 2-bet game in the normal state B", the following modification may be used.
In the above description, the execution of each process is restricted during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a part or all of the processes are performed during the 2-bet game in the normal state B. You may remove the restrictions on the execution of.
For example, during the two-bet game in the normal state B, a lottery process relating to the transition to the AT (for example, an AT direct hit lottery process) may be executed.
In this case, it is preferable to set the winning probability of shifting to AT to be lower in the 2-bet game than in the 3-bet game. For example, the winning probability in the 2-bet game may be 1/10 of the winning probability in the 3-bet game.
As described above, even if the restriction on the execution of each process is lifted during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, the effect according to each effect pattern is executed in the 2-bet game in the normal state B as in the above explanation. By doing so, the player is made aware that the 2-bet game is being executed, and is encouraged to play the game in the 3-bet game.

On the contrary, during the 3-bet game in the normal state B, the execution of each process is controlled so as to be restricted, and during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, the execution of a part or all the processes is restricted. You may cancel it. In this case, the winning probability may be set to be lower in the 3-bet game than in the 2-bet game.

Further, the above-mentioned effect patterns 1 to 6 may be selected based on a predetermined condition.
For example, the effect pattern 6 may be set so that a higher game setting value is easier to select. Further, the effect pattern 4 may be set so as to be easily selected immediately before the current "Momotaro points" reach the number of ceiling points.
As a result, the player recognizes that he / she suffers a disadvantage by executing the 2-bet game, but in order to obtain information (setting suggestion information and ceiling suggestion information) that is advantageous to the player, the 2-bet game. It is possible to judge whether or not to execute the game and proceed with the game, which can enhance the interest.
Further, in the above description, the effect patterns 1 to 6 are described in the case where they are executed independently, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of these effect patterns may be combined.

Further, in the above-mentioned effect patterns 1 to 6, the display mode (specific display mode) relating to the 3-bet reminder effect continues until the 3-bet button 102a is operated, and ends when the 3-bet button 102a is operated. It is assumed that the game returns to the 3-bet game and returns to the normal display mode, but the present invention is not limited to this, and even when the 3-bet button 102a is operated, a predetermined number of games (for example, 3 games) are continuously performed. Until the 3-bet game is played, the display mode (specific display mode) relating to the 3-bet reminder effect may be continued.
Further, the above-mentioned effect patterns 1 to 6 have been described in the case where the execution is started based on the operation of the start lever 103, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution is started based on the operation of the 2-bet button 102b. You may do it.

Further, in the above description, the effect control performed during the 2-bet game in the normal state B has been described, but the effect control can be executed during the 2-bet game also in other gaming states.
For example, a 3-bet reminder effect may be executed during a 2-bet game in a pseudo-bonus stage or a chance zone stage.
In this case, an image (curtain image, character image for encouraging the 3-bet game, etc.) that is not displayed in the 3-bet game of the pseudo-bonus stage or the chance zone stage may be displayed.
Further, the images (number of remaining games, number of acquired games, character images, etc.) that are always displayed in the 3-bet game of the pseudo-bonus stage or the chance zone stage may be hidden.
Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of discomfort, and by making the display mode disadvantageous to the player, the player is made to recognize that the 2-bet game is being executed, and the game is played in the 3-bet game. Can be encouraged.
In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from suffering a disadvantage because the two-bet game is continuously played even during the AT.

(2) Effect control when the power is restored in the normal state B Next, with reference to FIGS. 62 to 67, an example of the effect when the power is restored when the power is cut off during the normal state B will be described.
In the following description, as an example, when the power supply is cut off, for example, in the point acquisition effect after the third reel stop operation, the power supply is cut off at the timing when only the point number image G1 is displayed. I will explain it by citing it.
That is, an example is an example in which the power is cut off in the middle of the point acquisition effect, in which the total number of points image G2 is not displayed or the "Momotaro point" is not updated.

An example of the effect shown below will be described by taking effect pattern 1 to effect pattern 2 as an example of power return during a 3-bet game, and using effect pattern 1 to effect pattern 4 as an example of power return during a 2-bet game. I will explain it by citing it.
It should be noted that each effect pattern can be executed independently, and for example, any effect pattern may be set by the operation of a clerk at the amusement park, and either one for each game or for each predetermined number of games. The effect pattern of may be selected.
Further, the main display 108a and the sub-display 108b shown in FIGS. 62 to 67 correspond to the main display 108a and the sub-display 108b shown in FIG. 30, but the shapes are simplified for the sake of explanation. ing.

(Returning power during 3-bet game (Production pattern 1))
A case where the effect pattern 1 is selected as the effect when the power is restored during the 3-bet game will be described with reference to FIG. 62.
When the power is cut off, the point number image G1 and the "Momotaro point" before the point update are displayed (FIGS. 62 (a) to 62 (b)).
Then, when the power is restored, an image for notifying the restoration of the power is displayed on the display 108. For example, the character image of "returning" is displayed over the main display 108a and the sub display 108b (FIG. 62 (c)).
Next, the main display 108a displays the total number of points image G2 acquired in this game (FIG. 62 (d)).
Further, the total number of earned points is added to the current number of "Momotaro points" and is updated and displayed on the main display 108a (FIG. 62 (e)).

In this way, even if the power is cut off while the point acquisition effect is in progress, the effect information saved in the RAM is loaded, and after the power is restored, the effect that was being executed when the power was turned off is executed again. Then, the display of the total number of points image G2 and the updated "Momotaro points" are displayed.
As a result, the player can surely recognize the "Momotaro points" reflecting the number of points acquired in the game this time even if the power is cut off during the game.
The effect pattern 1 is not limited to this, and after the power is restored, only the number of points of the updated "Momotaro points" is displayed without displaying the total number of points image G2 shown in FIG. 62 (d) (FIG. 62 (e)) may be used. That is, only the final displayed result may be displayed.

(Power recovery during 3-bet game (Production pattern 2))
A case where the effect pattern 2 is selected as the effect when the power is restored during the 3-bet game will be described with reference to FIG. 63.
The effect until the power is restored is the same as that of the effect pattern 1 (FIGS. 62 (a) to 62 (c)) (FIGS. 63 (a) to 63 (c)).
Then, when the power is restored, as shown in FIG. 63 (d), the curtain image is displayed in the display area R1 and the display area R2 of the sub-display 108b. That is, the display mode is such that the point number image G1 and the total point number image G2 cannot be recognized.
Further, the number of "Momotaro points" displayed on the main display 108a changes to a negative display.
Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed or the predetermined number of games has been consumed after the curtain image is displayed, the sub-display 108b displays an image of the main character instead of the curtain image.
Further, on the main display 108a, the number of negatively displayed "Momotaro points" is displayed as the number of updated points (FIG. 63 (e)).
In this way, even when the effect pattern 2 is executed, after the power is restored, the "Momotaro points" that reflect the number of points acquired in this game are finally displayed, so that the player is in the middle of the point acquisition effect. Even if the power is cut off in this state, the number of "Momotaro points" can be reliably recognized.

(Returning power during 2-bet game (Production pattern 1))
A case where the effect pattern 1 is selected as the effect when the power is restored during the 2-bet game will be described with reference to FIG. 64.
When the power is cut off, the "Momotaro point" before the point update is displayed (FIGS. 64 (a) to 64 (b)).
Then, when the power is restored, an image for notifying the restoration of the power is displayed on the display 108. For example, the character image of "returning" is displayed over the main display 108a and the sub display 108b (FIG. 64 (c)).
After that, the total number of points image G2 is not displayed on the main display 108a, and the "Momotaro points" are not updated with the same number of points (100 points) as at the start of the game this time (FIG. 64 (d)). ).
In this way, the total number of points image G2 that is always displayed in each game during the 3-bet game is not displayed, and the number of points of "Momotaro points" in which 1 point or more is added during the 3-bet game is also It is not updated (added).
Therefore, the effect of the effect pattern 1 executed when the power is restored can give the player a sense of discomfort, and the player is made aware that the 2-bet game is being executed, and the game is played in the 3-bet game. Can be encouraged.

(Power recovery during 2-bet game (Production pattern 2))
A case where the effect pattern 2 is selected as the effect when the power is restored during the 2-bet game will be described with reference to FIG. 65.
The effect until the power is restored is the same as that of the effect pattern 1 (FIGS. 64 (a) to 64 (c)) (FIGS. 65 (a) to 65 (c)).
Then, when the power is restored, the number of "Momotaro points" displayed on the main display 108a changes to a negative display, and the curtain image is displayed in the display area R1 and the display area R2 of the sub display 108b. (Fig. 65 (d)).
In this way, during the 3-bet game, the total number of points image G2 that is always displayed and the number of points of "Momotaro points" are not displayed in each game.
In addition, an image (curtain image) that is not displayed in the 3-bet game is displayed.
Therefore, the effect of the effect pattern 2 executed when the power is restored can give the player a sense of discomfort, and the player is made aware that the 2-bet game is being executed, and the game is played in the 3-bet game. Can be encouraged.
In the effect pattern 2, the curtain image may be displayed in all the display areas of the main display 108a and the sub display 108b as the effect after the power is restored as shown in FIG. 65 (d). Further, the effect similar to the effect pattern 1 (FIG. 64 (d)) may be obtained without displaying the curtain image on the sub-display 108b.

(Returning power during 2-bet game (effect pattern 3))
A case where the effect pattern 3 is selected as the effect when the power is restored during the 2-bet game will be described with reference to FIG. 66.
The effect until the power is restored is the same as that of the effect pattern 1 (FIGS. 64 (a) to 64 (c)) (FIGS. 66 (a) to 66 (c)).
Then, when the power is restored, a character image for encouraging the game to be played in the 3-bet game is displayed in the display areas of the main display 108a and the sub display 108b (FIG. 66 (d)). For example, the characters "Please make a 3-bet" are displayed by sliding across the main display 108a and the sub-display 108b.
In this way, the total number of points image G2 that is always displayed in each game during the 3-bet game is not displayed, and the number of points of "Momotaro points" in which 1 point or more is added during the 3-bet game is also It is not updated (added).
In addition, a character image for encouraging the game to be played in the 3-bet game, which is not displayed in the 3-bet game, is displayed.
Therefore, the effect of the effect pattern 3 executed when the power is restored can give the player a sense of discomfort, and the player is made aware that the 2-bet game is being executed, and the game is played in the 3-bet game. Can be encouraged.

(Returning power during 2-bet game (effect pattern 4))
A case where the effect pattern 4 is selected as the effect when the power is restored during the 2-bet game will be described with reference to FIG. 67.
The effect until the power is restored is the same as that of the effect pattern 1 (FIGS. 64 (a) to 64 (c)) (FIGS. 67 (a) to 67 (c)).
Then, when the power is restored, the total point number image G2 showing the total number of points earned of 0 points or less is displayed on the main display 108a (FIG. 67 (d)). For example, an image showing the total number of points earned of "-1 point" is displayed.
Then, the total number of earned points is added to the current "Momotaro points" and updated and displayed on the main display 108a (FIG. 67 (e)). In the example shown in FIG. 67, it is shown that the "Momotaro point" has been updated from 100 points to 99 points.
In this way, the display mode in which the total number of points image G2 of 0 points or less, which is not displayed during the 3-bet game, is displayed, and the "Momotaro points", which are not subtracted during the 3-bet game, are subtracted. It is designed to be displayed with.
Therefore, the effect of the effect pattern 4 executed when the power is restored can give the player a sense of discomfort, and the player is made aware that the 2-bet game is being executed, and the game is played in the 3-bet game. Can be prompted.

As described above, in the slot machine 101 of the present embodiment, when the power is cut off during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, and then the power is restored, the information prompting the player to play the game in the 3-bet game (special). Information) (curtain image, 3-bet reminder character image, point number subtraction image, etc.) is controlled to be displayed.
As a result, it is possible to give the player a sense of discomfort in the effect executed after the power is restored and to encourage the player to play the 3-bet game.

In the above description, the case where the power is cut off after the operation of stopping the third reel has been described, but the power is cut off during the game (a state in which at least one reel 141 is rotating after the operation of the start lever 103). Even if it occurs, after the power is restored, the effect pattern shown in FIGS. 62 to 67 can be used for the effect.

(Modification example)
The slot machine 101 according to the present embodiment can also be a modified example as shown below.
The slot machine 101 according to the modified example has the same configuration as that of the above-described embodiment, but is different in that it has a gaming state as shown in FIG. 68.
Specifically, the portion shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 68 is different from that of FIG. 36 of the above-described embodiment.
Therefore, this difference will be described in detail.

With reference to FIG. 68, each gaming state of the slot machine 101 according to the modified example and the transition of each gaming state will be described.
(Chance zone stage)
Unlike the above-described embodiment, the chance zone stage is a gaming state in which the number of medals held by the player is gradually reduced because the push order navigation is not performed under the control of non-AT.
Further, the chance zone stage enters after the end of the pseudo-bonus stage (arrow a in FIG. 68), and starts from the stage notified in the immediately preceding pseudo-bonus stage.
The chance zone stage continues until the specified number of games set for each stage ("dog stage", "monkey stage", "pheasant stage") is exhausted (until the number of remaining games reaches "0"), and during this period In addition, a lottery for the transition to Momotarou Chance will be held.

In the chance zone stage, a continuous lottery process is executed to determine whether or not to shift to the Momotarou chance, that is, whether or not to continue the AT.
Specifically, the main control unit 110 draws a lottery based on the winning combination won in the game this time, whether or not the transition to the Momotarou chance is successful. For example, it is set so that the winning expectation is high based on the relationship of "dog stage"<"monkeystage"<"pheasantstage".
Separately from this, the main control unit 110 draws a lottery for each game, based on a predetermined winning probability, whether or not the transition to the Momotarou chance is successful. In this lottery, the degree of expectation of winning differs depending on the number of games remaining on the stage. For example, the smaller the number of games remaining on the stage, the higher the probability of winning.
Then, when the lottery for transition to Momotarou Chance is won, the main control unit 110 controls to shift to Momotarou Chance after exhausting the number of games in the running stage (arrow b in FIG. 68). If the lottery for transition to Momotarou Chance is not won, the game is controlled to transition to the normal state A after the number of games in the running stage is exhausted (arrow h in FIG. 68).

(Momotaro Chance)
The momotarou chance is controlled by the AT, and the push order is notified with a predetermined probability (for example, 100%). Therefore, during the Momotarou chance, the player is in an advantageous gaming state where an increase in medals can be expected.
The Momotarou chance is managed by the number of times the push order navigation of the push order bell occurs (the number of bell navigations), and it is possible to stay until the number of bell navigations becomes "0".

The number of bell navigations is determined when the Momotarou chance enters.
For example, based on the game setting value currently set in the slot machine 101, the number of games of any one of "10 games", "20 games", "30 games", "50 games" and "100 games" is Be selected. For example, the higher setting is set so that a larger number of games can be easily selected. The number of games to be selected is not limited to these, and can be set arbitrarily.
Then, when the number of bell navigations becomes "0", the main control unit 110 controls to shift from the Momotarou chance to the onitage stage (arrow c in FIG. 68).

At Momotarou Chance, a lottery process for acquiring a specific number of points (hereinafter referred to as "specialized points") is performed.
Specifically, when the main control unit 110 wins a predetermined winning combination (for example, a rare combination or "missing"), the main control unit 110 determines special points by lottery, accumulates the number of special points, and accumulates the number of special points. Store in 110 RAM.
In addition, when the accumulated special points reach the specified number of points during the Momotarou chance, the transfer to the special zone described later is confirmed. The specified number of points will be determined when the Momotaro Chance enters.
The number of points of the current specialization points may be visually displayed to the player during the Momotarou chance.

Further, in Momotarou Chance, when a rare role is won in the internal lottery process, a subtraction stop lottery process is performed in which the subtraction of the number of bell navigations can be stopped.
For example, with the winning of the rare role as an opportunity, the number of games (number of subtraction stop games) of any of 0 games, 5 games, 10 games, and 20 games is determined by lottery.
Then, the determined subtraction stop game is added to the remaining number of bell navigations. Therefore, the number of bell navigations is added internally by the number of subtraction stop games determined, and the period of stay of Momotarou Chance can be extended.
Further, on the display 108, an image showing that the subtraction of the number of bell navigations is stopped (interrupted) is displayed only for the games of the determined number of subtraction stop games.

(Onitaiji Stage)
The onitage stage is a gaming state controlled by non-AT.
The Onitaiji Stage can be entered after the end of the Momotarou Chance and can stay for a period of time until the predetermined number of games is exhausted.
In the onitage stage, the transition destination stage of the chance zone stage to be transitioned next is decided. Stages other than the "dog stage" are determined based on a predetermined probability.

In addition, at the Onitaiji Stage, a lottery for transition to the specialized zone, which will be described later, is also held.
Specifically, a lottery for transition to the special zone is performed based on the number of special points acquired in the immediately preceding Momotarou chance.
For example, the higher the number of special points, the higher the expectation of winning. If the number of special points has reached the specified number of points, the transition to the special zone is confirmed.

At the onitage stage, an effect is performed to notify the next migration destination.
For example, when the number of staying games is exhausted, an image imitating roulette (roulette image) is displayed on the main display 108a, and the item indicated by the arrow when the rotation of the roulette image stops is the transition to the chance zone stage. The transition destination is notified by indicating the previous stage or the special zone.
Then, when the stage of the chance zone stage is selected, the main control unit 110 controls to shift from the onitage stage to the chance zone stage (arrow d in FIG. 68).
Further, when the special zone is selected, the main control unit 110 controls to shift from the onitage stage to the special zone (arrow g in FIG. 68).

(Specialized zone)
The special zone can stay for a period from the onitaiji stage until the specified number of games is exhausted.
In the special zone, whether or not to shift to Momotarou Chance, that is, the lottery process for the consecutive villas of Momotarou Chance is executed.
Specifically, at the time of entering the special zone, for example, with a winning probability of 50%, the success or failure of the transition to the Momotarou chance is determined by lottery. In addition, even if non-winning is selected as the lottery result at the time of entering the special zone, if a rare role is won in the special zone, the lottery result will be rewritten based on the predetermined winning probability. ..

When the lottery for transition to Momotarou Chance is won, the main control unit 110 controls to shift to Momotarou Chance after exhausting the number of games in the special zone (arrow f in FIG. 68). Further, in the case of shifting from the special zone to the Momotarou chance, after the end of the Momotarou chance, the shift (return) to the special zone is performed again (arrow e in FIG. 68).
On the other hand, when the lottery for transition to Momotarou Chance is not won, the main control unit 110 controls to shift to the chance zone stage after the number of games in the special zone is exhausted (arrow i in FIG. 68). ..
In addition, when the transition from the onitaiji stage to the special zone is performed for the first time, for example, it is controlled to win the transition lottery to the Momotarou chance with a 100% probability. Therefore, by shifting to the specialized zone, Momotaro Chance will be a consecutive villa at least once.
In this way, when moving to the specialized zone, the probability of looping between the Momotarou chance and the specialized zone is high, and the consecutive villas of the Momotarou chance can be expected, so the player's expectation is extremely high. It will be possible to increase.

During the specialization zone, the display 108 performs a continuous effect with a predetermined number of games as one set under the control of the main control unit 110 and the sub control unit 120.
For example, a "battle effect" is executed in which the main character (Momotaro) and the enemy character (Oni) fight.
During the battle production, the main character and the enemy character are repeatedly battled, and in the final game, the main character wins the enemy character or the main character is defeated by the enemy character.
Then, the victory of the main character means that the lottery for the transition to the Momotarou chance is won, and the defeat of the main character means that the lottery for the transition to the Momotarou chance is not won.

It should be noted that a super-specialized zone may be provided in which the probability of winning the transition lottery to the Momotarou chance is higher than that of the specialized zone.
In the super-specialized zone, at the time of entering the super-specialized zone, for example, with a winning probability of 80%, a lottery will be drawn on whether or not to move to the Momotarou chance.
In addition, by shifting to the super-specialized zone, the chances of Momotarou will be controlled to stay at least three times in a row.

As described above, the playability of the slot machine 101 in the modified example is a type of playability in which the number of balls is increased by looping between the chance zone stage, the momotarou chance, and the onitage stage. Also, during this time, by shifting to the specialized zone, it is possible to further increase the number of balls.
As described above, the slot machine 101 according to the modified example can have a characteristic playability.
Further, the slot machine 101 according to the modified example also has the same features as those of the above-described embodiment (“(1) effect control during the 2-bet game in the normal state B”, “(2) when the power is restored in the normal state B”. It can be equipped with "directing control") and has the same effect.

As described above, in the slot machine 101 according to the present embodiment, when the operation of the 3-bet button 102a (first operation) is accepted as the number of game media used for one game, the regular number of bets is used. A certain 3-bet (number of first game media) can be set, and when the operation of the 2-bet button 102b (second operation) is accepted, a 2-bet (number of second game media), which is a non-regular bet number, is placed. If it is possible to set and 2 bets are set, the lottery related to the transition to AT (second game state) is not executed, and 3 bets are set in normal state B (first game state). If so, the image (specific information) related to the point acquisition effect is output, and if 2 bets are set in the normal state B, the image (specific information) related to the point acquisition effect is not output. There is.
That is, during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, an image relating to the number of points earned in this game displayed during the 3-bet game (point number image G1, total point number image G2, number of points of "Momotaro points"). Is not displayed.

Further, in the slot machine 101 according to the present embodiment, when the 3-bet is set in the normal state B, the image (special information) prompting the 3-bet game is not output and the 2-bet is set. If so, an image (special information) prompting the 3-bet game is output.
That is, during the 2-bet game in the normal state B, an image for encouraging the 3-bet game (curtain image, 3-bet reminder character image, subtraction image of the number of points, etc.) that is not displayed in the 3-bet game. It is designed to be displayed.

In this way, in the 2-bet game in the normal state B, an effect different from the effect in the 3-bet game is executed, which gives the player a sense of discomfort and allows the game to be played with the regular number of bets (3 bets). You can be encouraged to do it.
As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from suffering a disadvantage because the two-bet game is continuously played.

On the other hand, for example, patent documents such as JP-A-2017-196015 disclose a gaming machine that terminates the advantageous section when the number of continuous games in the advantageous section continues for a predetermined game.
In this gaming machine, the advantageous section includes an AT and a CZ state in which the probability of a lottery for transition to AT is a high probability state. The start time is the start time of the advantageous section.
Since the CZ state is non-AT, the game value of medals and the like owned by the player is reduced.
Further, during the CZ state, the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is reduced by playing the game, so that the player wants to end the game by winning the lottery for transition to AT as soon as possible.
By the way, in some conventional gaming machines, the number of bets set for one game can be selected from a plurality of bets, and the smaller the number of bets, the higher the winning probability of a small winning combination, the winning probability of AT, and the additional probability during AT. Etc. are generally reduced.
When the specifications of such a general gaming machine are applied to the gaming machine disclosed in the above patent document, when the game is mistakenly played with a small number of bets (non-regular bet number (2 bets)), the AT is assigned. Since the lottery is performed with a low probability of winning the transition lottery and the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is reduced, there is a risk that the player will be significantly disadvantaged.
As described above, according to the slot machine 101 of the present embodiment, it is possible to solve all or part of such problems that the conventional gaming machine should improve.

Although the preferred embodiment of the gaming machine of the present invention (third embodiment) has been described above, the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are made within the scope of the present invention.
