The state in which the setting value can be changed by the setting control means 101 corresponds to the "state in which the setting value can be changed by the setting value setting means" of the present invention. and described.

At this time, the setting value stored in the setting value storage area 651 (see FIG. 4) formed in the RWM 65 before the power failure is read out by the setting control means 101 (see FIG. 4) and provisionally set. This temporarily set setting value is notified by being displayed on the setting value display 56 (see FIG. 3). Then, every time the administrator presses the setting change button 50c once, the setting control means 101 provisionally sets a setting value one level higher than the provisionally set setting value (setting value before power failure) (for example, setting (temporary setting from 3 to setting 4), and the display contents of the setting value display 56 are updated. However, if the setting change button 50c is pressed when the provisionally set value is 6, the provisionally set value returns to 1 and is provisionally set. Then, when the set value becomes the desired set value by operating the setting change button 50c, the administrator operates the start switch 19, and the setting control means 101 changes the set value stored in the set value storage area 651. The temporary set value at that time is rewritten, and thus the set value is determined. Then, the administrator turns off the setting change key switch 50b by rotating the setting change key inserted in the key cylinder. This completes the setting change process (ends the setting changeable state). After that, a game ready state is entered in which the player can play a game on the slot machine 1 . In this case, when the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the slot machine 1 enters the playable state via the setting changeable state. For example, the set value is switched by the setting change button 50c and displayed on the set value display 56, and the set value displayed on the set value display 56 is temporarily set by operating the start switch 19, and the setting change key switch is set. It is also possible to set a provisionally set value when the switch 50b is turned off. It should be noted that "the first game state (omitted) is also controlled based on the fact that the set value setting means can change the set value" of the present invention, for example, The first game state is controlled by setting changeable state, setting value after setting changeable state (including selection, temporary setting, confirmation), setting change key Although there is a case where the switch 50b is turned off to end the setting changeable state and the control is performed, it is sufficient if the game state is controlled to the first game state by going through the setting changeable state.

If the manager turns on the power switch 50a while the setting change key switch 50b is turned off, the player can play a game on the slot machine 1 without transitioning to the setting changeable state. It will be in a playable state.

Then, the game in the bonus game state RB1 (RB1) is performed from the game following the game in which the bonus combination "RB1" was won.

In the bonus game state RB1 (RB1), the winning probability of the replaying role is 0, and as shown in FIG. No lottery value is assigned, and the lottery value for winning is assigned to the lower prizes of the lower prizes $0C and $0D (winning prize group “ZEN” and “ACL”). The bonus game state RB1 (RB1) ends when a predetermined RB1 end condition is satisfied. When the RB1 end condition is satisfied, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), and the game state shifts to the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)). Then, the game is played in the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)) from the game next to the game in which the predetermined RB1 end condition is satisfied. In this embodiment, as a predetermined condition for ending RB1, "eight wins in any of the winning combinations targeted for the winning combination lottery, or execution of the game eight times" is set, but this may be changed as appropriate. It is possible.

In the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), if the winning combination group "RB1" is won, but the winning combination group "RB1" is not won in the game, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the Until the bonus combination "RB1" is won, the winning state of the bonus combination "RB1" is carried over, the game state is set to "Bonus game state inside RB1 (RBB (RB1F)), and the game state is set to bonus game state inside bonus game state RB1 ( RBB (RB1F)). Then, a game within the bonus game state RB1 (RBB (RB1F)) is started from the game next to the game in which the winning combination group "RB1" was won but the bonus combination "RB1" was not won.

In the bonus game state RB1 (RBB (RB1F)), the winning probability of the replaying role is higher than the winning probability of the replaying role in the normal RT (NOM), and as shown in FIG. In , no lottery value for winning is assigned to any high-ranking role number (winning group). A lottery value for winning a lower role (winning role group) of a lower role number other than the role (winning role group "RPR7", "RPSP1" to "RPSP3", "RPCH3", "ZEN", "ACL") is allocated. In addition, inside the bonus game state RB1 (RBB (RB1F)) is a state in which the winning bonus combination "RB1" is carried over, and the winning combination comprising bonus combinations "RBB", "RB1" and "RB2". New winners will not be elected to the groups "RBB", "RB1", and "RB2".

In the inside of the bonus game state RB1 (RBB (RB1F)), when the carried-over bonus combination "RB1" is won, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the inside of the bonus game state RB1 (RB1), and the game is started. The state shifts to the bonus game state RB1 (RB1). Then, the game in the bonus game state RB1 (RB1) is performed from the game next to the game in which the bonus combination "RB1" that is carried over wins. In the bonus game state RB1 (RB1), when the above-described RB1 end condition is established, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), and the game state changes to the bonus game state. Go to general middle (RBB(NOM)). Then, the game is played in the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)) from the game next to the game in which the predetermined RB1 end condition is satisfied.

When the winning combination group "RB2" is won in the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)) and the bonus combination "RB2" constituting the winning combination group "RB2" is won in the game, the game state setting means 100b , the game state is set to during bonus game state RB2 (RB2), and the game state shifts to during bonus game state RB2 (RB2). Then, the game in the bonus game state RB2 (RB2) is performed from the game following the game in which the bonus combination "RB2" was won.

In the bonus game state RB2 (RB2), the winning probability of the replaying role is 0, and as shown in FIG. No lottery value is assigned, and the lottery value that wins for the lower prizes of the lower prize numbers $00, $0C, and $0D (winning prize group “HZ”, “ZEN”, “ACL”). is allocated. The bonus game state RB2 (RB2) ends when a predetermined RB2 end condition is satisfied. When the RB2 end condition is established, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), and the game state shifts to the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)). Then, the game is played in the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)) from the game next to the game in which the predetermined RB2 end condition is established. In this embodiment, as a predetermined condition for ending RB2, "eight wins in any of the winning combinations targeted for the winning combination lottery, or execution of the game eight times" is set, but this may be changed as appropriate. It is possible.

In the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), if the winning hand group “RB2” is won, but the bonus hand “RB2” that constitutes the winning hand group “RB2” is not won in the game, the game state is set. The means 100b carries over the winning state of the bonus combination ``RB2'' until the bonus combination ``RB2'' is won in the next game and thereafter, sets the game state to inside the bonus game state RB2 (RBB (RB2F)), and sets the game state. shifts to inside the bonus game state RB2 (RBB (RB2F)). Then, a game within the bonus game state RB2 (RBB (RB2F)) is performed from the game next to the game in which the winning combination group "RB2" was won but the bonus combination "RB2" was not won.

During the bonus game state RB2 (RBB (RB2F)), the winning probability of the replaying role is higher than the winning probability of the replaying role in the normal RT (NOM), and as shown in FIG. In , no lottery value for winning is assigned to any high-ranking role number (winning group). A lottery value for winning a lower role (winning role group) of a lower role number other than the role (winning role group "RPR7", "RPSP1" to "RPSP3", "RPCH3", "ZEN", "ACL") is allocated. In addition, inside the bonus game state RB2 (RBB (RB2F)) is a state in which the winning bonus combination "RB2" is carried over, and the winning combination comprising the bonus combinations "RBB", "RB1", and "RB2". New winners will not be elected to the groups "RBB", "RB1", and "RB2".

In the inside of the bonus game state RB2 (RBB (RB2F)), when the carried-over bonus combination "RB2" is won, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the inside of the bonus game state RB2 (RB2), and the game is played. The state shifts to the bonus game state RB2 (RB2). Then, the game in the bonus game state RB2 (RB2) is performed from the game next to the game in which the bonus combination "RB2" that is carried over wins. In the bonus game state RB2 (RB2), when the above-mentioned RB2 termination condition is satisfied, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), and the game state changes to the bonus game state. Go to general medium (RBB(NOM)). Then, the game is played in the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)) from the game next to the game in which the predetermined RB2 end condition is established.

In the normal RT (NOM), if the winning combination group "RBB" is won and the bonus combination "RBB" constituting the winning combination group "RBB" is not won in the game, the gaming state setting means 100b selects the next game. until the bonus combination 'RRB' is won thereafter, the winning state of the bonus combination 'RBB' is carried over (this function corresponds to the 'carry-over means' of the present invention), the game state is set to RBB inside medium (RBBF), The gaming state shifts to RBB inside (RBBF). Then, a game inside the RBB (RBBF) is started from the game next to the game in which the winning combination group "RBB" was won but the bonus combination "RBB" was not won.

In the inside of the RBB (RBBF), the winning probability of the replaying hand is the same as the winning probability of the replaying hand in the normal RT (NOM), and as shown in FIG. The lottery value for winning is not assigned to the upper role (winning role group), and the lower role is lower than the lower role numbers $0C and $0D (winning role group "ZEN", "ACL"). A winning lottery value is assigned to a lower winning combination (winning combination group) of the winning combination number. In addition, the inside of the RBB (RBBF) is a state in which the winning bonus hand "RBB" is carried over, and the winning hand group "RBB" composed of the bonus hands "RBB", "RB1" and "RB2", "RB1" and "RB2" are not newly elected. In this embodiment, in the inside of the RBB (RBBF), the types of hands (winning hand group) that are subject to the lottery (winning hand group) and their winning probabilities are the same as those of the normal RT (NOM), except for the bonus hand. there is

When the carried-over bonus combination "RBB" is won in the inside of RBB (RBBF), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), and the game state becomes bonus. It shifts to the game state in general (RBB (NOM)). Then, the game in the normal bonus game state (RBB (NOM)) is performed from the game next to the game in which the bonus combination "RBB" that is carried over wins.

The bonus game state (RBB) ends when a predetermined RBB end condition is satisfied. When the RRB end condition is established, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to normal RT (NOM), and the game state shifts to normal RT (NOM). Then, the game with the normal bonus RT (NOM) is played from the game next to the game in which the predetermined RBB end condition is satisfied. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, as the predetermined RBB end condition, "payout of more than 97 medals" is set, but it can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the game state in which the player is staying when the RBB end condition is satisfied is any game state (RBB (NOM), RB1, RB2, RBB (RB1F), RBB (RB2F)) within the bonus game state (RBB). Even so, the gaming state shifts to normal RT (NOM). In this way, the normal RT (NOM) shifts when the bonus game state (RBB) ends, but it also shifts when the setting is changed.

In this embodiment, a notification effect is performed when a bonus combination or a so-called rare combination is won. There are some rare roles that cannot be won unless the eye is pressed, and when the notification effect is performed, the player should display the display window 11 on the left reel 13L in order to avoid non-winning (lost). The stop switch 21L is operated at the timing when the symbol "CH (cherry): see FIG. 2" of the symbol number 17 is positioned. On the other hand, the winning symbol on the left reel 13L for the bonus combination "RBB" is symbol number 6 "BAR3 (white bar): see FIG. 2". Since the maximum number of sliding frames of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R is 4 frames, when the player presses the symbol "CH (cherry): see FIG. 2" when the notification effect is performed. , the symbol "BAR3 (white bar)" cannot normally be stopped on the winning line (middle row) of the left reel 13L. Therefore, it is rare that the normal RT (NOM) directly shifts to the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)), and normally the state shifts to the bonus game state (RBB (NOM)) via the inside of the RBB (RBBF).

In this embodiment, the power is turned off, the power is turned on, and the slot machine 1 is in a setting changeable state (the power switch 50a is turned off, the setting change key switch 50b is turned on, and the setting change key switch 50b is turned on). is turned on and the power switch 50a is turned on so that the slot machine 1 transitions), the game state before the power interruption is maintained. .

On the other hand, a power failure occurs, the power is turned on, and the slot machine 1 enters a setting changeable state (the power switch 50a is turned off, the setting change key switch 50b is turned on, and the setting change key switch 50b is turned on). When the slot machine 1 transitions by turning on the power switch 50a in the state of ), the game state is turned off based on the setting changeable state. The previous game state is initialized to normal RT (NOM).

For example, if a power failure occurs during the normal RT (NOM), and then the power is turned on and the slot machine 1 becomes a playable state without going through the setting changeable state, the gaming state will be the normal RT (NOM). NOM) remains (see FIG. 14(a)).

Further, when power is cut off during normal RT (NOM), the power is then turned on, and the slot machine 1 becomes playable through the setting changeable state, the game state is initialized. Normal RT (NOM) is set (see FIG. 14(b)).

Further, when a power failure occurs while the RBB is inside (RBBF), and then the power is turned on and the slot machine 1 enters the game-enabled state without going through the setting-changeable state, the gaming state is changed to the inside of the RBB. It remains medium (RBBF) (see FIG. 14(c)).

Further, when power failure occurs while the RBB is inside (RBBF), the power is then turned on, and the slot machine 1 enters the game-enabled state through the setting-changeable state, the game state is initialized. normal RT (NOM) (see FIG. 14(d)).

The normal RT (NOM) corresponds to the "first gaming state" of the present invention, the inside of RBB (RBBF) corresponds to the "second gaming state" of the present invention, and the bonus gaming state (RBB) corresponds to the "second gaming state" of the present invention. corresponds to the "third game state".

In this embodiment, in addition to the bonus game state (RBB), the pressing order AT combination (lower combination number $10 (winning combination group "BE1(1)") to lower combination number $21 (winning combination group "BE6(3)"). )”)), it is equipped with a so-called AT function that informs you of the order in which you can obtain an advantageous dividend (the maximum number of medals to be paid out) (the order in which you press the correct answer) (see FIG. 13). Game characteristics will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 6 and the like.

Here, an example of the normal game flow will be described. In this embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured so that one game (one game) is played with three medals, and a bet number counter (not shown) stores the number of inserted medals up to three. . When three medals are inserted by the insertion sensor 53, the bet switch 15, or the maximum bet switch 17, the winning line of the display window 11 (left reel 13L: middle row, middle reel 13M: middle row, right reel 13R: middle row (Fig. 2 (b) reference)) becomes effective. Then, when the start switch 19 is operated under the condition that three medals, which are the specified number, are inserted, a winning combination (lottery result) preset by the combination lottery means 103 is selected. is done. Here, the main CPU 61 starts all the rotations of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R, and the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R displayed on the display window 11 are displayed on the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Start to discriminate according to the rotation angle of .

After that, the left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are accelerated, and the rotational positions of the left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are set to predetermined reference positions by the left/middle/right position sensors 55L, 55M and 55R. is detected and all the reels 13L, 13M and 13R rotate at a constant speed, all stop switches 21L, 21M and 21R are activated. After the operation of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R becomes valid, the left reel 13L is stopped when the left stop switch 21L is operated, the middle reel 13M is stopped when the middle stop switch 21M is operated, and the right reel 13M is stopped. When the stop switch 21R is operated, the right reel 13R is stopped. Thus, by operating the respective stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, rotation of the left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M, 13R corresponding to the respective stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is stopped.

When all three left/middle/right stop switches 21L, 21M and 21R are operated, the left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M and 13R stop rotating. At this time, a predetermined symbol is placed at a predetermined position on the pay line (left reel 13L: middle row, middle reel 13M: middle row, right reel 13R: middle row (see FIG. 2(b))) of the activated display window 11. If you stop at , you win a prize. Then, the number of medals corresponding to the winning mode is credited or paid out from the medal payout port 39. - 特許庁Also, instead of paying out medals, or in conjunction with paying out medals, a predetermined profit may be awarded to the player.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control means 101 in FIG. 4 is a setting (setting 1 to setting 6) for adjusting the ball payout rate (total number of payouts/total number of medals inserted×100[%]) based on a predetermined setting change operation. is to be changed. The setting control means 101 corresponds to the "setting value setting means" of the present invention.

(3) Table selection means 102
Table selection means 102 of FIG. One lottery table is selected from a plurality of lottery tables 671 based on the set values (setting 1 to setting 6). For example, in a normal RT (NOM) game, the table selection means 102 uses a lottery table 671 (normal RT (NOM) utility lottery table) as a lottery table according to the set values (settings 1 to 6) of winning probability. to select.

(4) Role lottery means 103
The winning lottery means 103 in FIG. 4 assigns a winning lottery value according to the game state in the current game by the winning lottery process using the random number and the lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102. One superior role (winning role group) is selected and determined from among the superior roles (winning role group: see FIG. 11), and a lottery value for winning is assigned according to the game state in the current game. One subordinate combination (winning combination group) is selected and determined from among the subordinate combinations (winning combination group: see FIG. 11). In this embodiment, the superior winning combination of the winning combination numbers $01 to $03 (the winning combination groups "RBB", "RB1", and "RB2") is the low ranking combination of the low combination number $00 (the winning combination group "HZ"). The lottery value is distributed so that there is a possibility of winning only when winning. However, in the gaming state (RBBF, RBB (RB1F), RBB (RB2F), RB1, RB2) in which no lottery value is assigned to any of the superior roles (winning role group), the role lottery related to the superior role (winning role group) is not performed. Here, in each lottery table 671, the correspondence relationship between each superior role and the range of lottery values for winning the relevant superior role is defined, and each lower role and the lottery value for winning the corresponding lower role are defined. Specifically, for example, in each lottery table 671, each higher-ranking role and the winning of the higher-ranking role among the entire range of random numbers generated by the random number generation means 103a described later are defined. data in which a range of lottery values is associated with each low-ranking combination, and a range of lottery values for winning the low-ranking combination among the entire range of random numbers generated by the random number generation means 103a described later are associated with each low-ranking combination. data is stored.

a) random number generator 103a
The random number generator 103a shown in FIG. 4 generates random numbers for lottery within a predetermined range of random numbers. The random number generator 103a can be composed of, for example, an oscillator circuit and a counter circuit that counts the clock signal generated by the oscillator circuit (so-called hard random numbers). The random number generation means 103a can be configured by, for example, means for generating random numbers by means of average selection, or means for generating random numbers by addition of prime numbers. These means can be configured, for example, by causing the main CPU 61 to execute a predetermined program (so-called soft random numbers). It should be noted that both hard random numbers and soft random numbers may be provided, and random numbers may be generated by software based on the results thereof.

b) random number extraction means 103b
The random number extracting means 103b in FIG. 4 extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means 103a, and extracts the random number generated by the random number generating means 103a under a predetermined condition. This random number extracting means 103b extracts a random number used for the combination lottery process in the current game at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated.

Since the random number generating means 103a is composed of a counter circuit or the like, strictly speaking, the numerical values generated by the random number generating means 103a are not random numbers. However, since the timing at which the start switch 19 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical values extracted by the random number extracting means 103b can be substantially handled as random numbers.

c) lottery result determination means 103c
The lottery result determination means 103c of FIG. 4 determines the lottery value according to the game state of the current game based on the random number extracted by the random number extraction means 103b in the current game and the game state of the current game. One high-ranking hand is selected and determined from among the allotted high-ranking hands (winning hand group: see FIG. 10), and a low-ranking hand (won One sub-hand is selected and determined from the hand group: see FIG. The lottery result determination means 103c refers to a lottery table 671 corresponding to the current game state selected by the table selection means 102, and the random number extracted by the random number extraction means 103b is defined by the lottery table 671. By judging which lottery value range belongs to among the range of winning lottery values corresponding to each superior role (winning role group), the superior role (winning role group) won in the current game is determined. do. The lottery result determination means 103c refers to the lottery table 671 corresponding to the current game state selected by the table selection means 102, and the random number extracted by the random number extraction means 103b is defined by the lottery table 671. A low-order combination (winning combination group) won in the current game is determined by determining which range of lottery values belongs to among ranges of lottery values corresponding to each low-level combination (winning combination group). However, in the gaming state (RBBF, RBB (RB1F), RBB (RB2F), RB1, RB2) in which no lottery value is assigned to any of the superior roles (winning role group), the role lottery related to the superior role (winning role group) is not performed.

In this embodiment, the role lottery result storage area 652 is assigned to the RWM 65 as a 2-byte data area, and the role lottery result storage area 652 is assigned a 1-byte data area for each role lottery related to a higher role. It has a higher-ranking combination storage area for storing results and a lower-ranking combination storage area for storing combination lottery results related to lower-ranking combinations.

In addition, each superior role (winning combination group) is associated with a unique superior combination number in hexadecimal, and each lower combination (winning combination group) is associated with a lower combination number in hexadecimal. (See FIGS. 9 and 10). Then, when a lottery for a higher role is conducted, the higher role number associated with the higher role won in the role lottery out of the higher role numbers $00 to $03 is stored in the role lottery result storage area 652. is stored in the upper winning combination storage area. However, the superior combination number stored in the superior combination storage area after winning the superior combination including the bonus combination continues to be stored in the superior combination storage area until the bonus combination constituting the winning superior combination is won. In addition, when a lottery for a lower role is performed, the lower role lottery result storage area 652 stores the lower role number associated with the lower role won in the role lottery among the lower roles of the lower role numbers $00 to $21. is stored in the lower winning combination storage area.

(5) Reel detection means 104
The reel detection means 104 in FIG. 4 receives detection signals from the left/middle/right position sensors 55L, 55M and 55R and left/middle/right reel motors 14L and 14M for driving the left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M and 13R. , and 14R, the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected. The reel detection means 104 corresponds to a symbol positioned at a predetermined reference position (for example, the middle stage of the display window 11 in this embodiment) while the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating and when the rotation is stopped. Detect each frame number.

(6) Reel Rotation Control Means 105
The reel rotation control means 105 in FIG. 4 is configured to control the excitation phases of the reel motors 14L, 14M and 14R to individually control the rotation of the reels 13L, 13M and 13R. When the start switch 19 is operated by the player, the reel rotation control means 105 controls the excitation phases of the reel motors 14L, 14M and 14R to start the rotation of the reels 13L, 13M and 13R. In addition, the reel rotation control means 105 uses the stop table 672 to control the stop of the left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M and 13R based on the operation of the left/middle/right stop switches 21L, 21M and 21R. , and the symbols variably displayed by the left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are stopped in a display mode corresponding to the result of the combination lottery of the combination lottery means 103.例文帳に追加The reel rotation control means 105 controls the left/middle/right reels 13L based on the combination lottery result determined by the lottery result determination means 103c and the operation modes of the left/middle/right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R for each game. , 13M and 13R.

As the stop table 672 for determining the stop positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R, a plurality of tables are set corresponding to each of the combination lottery results of the combination lottery means 103. FIG. Then, the stop table 672 is configured to rotate the left/middle/right reels according to the rotational positions of the left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M and 13R when the left/middle/right stop switches 21L, 21M and 21R are operated. The number of sliding frames of 13L, 13M and 13R is predetermined, and the stop operation order ( The number of sliding frames is different according to the pressing order).

Further, if the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 is winning of any combination, the reel rotation control means 105 selects the stop table 672 based on the winning combination lottery result, and the left/middle/right stop table. A winning combination is selected based on the rotational positions of the left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M and 13R when the switches 21L, 21M and 21R are operated and the order of pressing the stop switches 21L, 21M and 21R. Then, the numbers of sliding frames of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are determined, and the stop control of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed. On the other hand, if the winning combination lottery result by the combination lottery means 103 is a loss, the reel rotation control means 105 selects a stop table 672 based on the winning combination lottery result, the left/middle/right stop switches 21L, 21M, Based on the respective rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R when each 21R is operated, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are set so as not to win any of a plurality of combinations. The number of sliding frames is determined, and stop control of each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R is performed.

By the way, there is an upper limit to the number of sliding frames. If not operated, the reel rotation control means 105 determines that the symbol displayed on the display window 11 corresponds to the winning combination, even if the winning combination lottery result by the combination lottery means 103 is winning of any combination. The left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R cannot be controlled to be stopped so that they are stopped and displayed in this manner. In other words, the reel rotation control means 105 controls the corresponding left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R based on the result of the combination lottery of the combination lottery means 103 at the timing when the left/middle/right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are at predetermined rotational positions. On condition that the right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13L, 13L, 13L, 13L, 13L, 13L, 13L, 13L, 13L, 13L, 13L are arranged so that the symbols displayed in the display window 11 are stopped and displayed in a winning mode corresponding to the winning combination. 13M and 13R are controlled to stop. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of sliding frames is set to 4, and depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, there will be a "dropout" in which the winning combination cannot be won. In this case, the reel rotation control means 105 performs stop control of each of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so as not to win other combinations that have not been won.

Either the constituent role is won, or there is a dropout. For this reason, the pressing order of "left→right→middle" is the correct pressing order.

In addition, in the winning hand group "BE3(1)" to "BE3(3)", the maximum payout (8 cards) can be obtained only in the case of pressing order of "middle→left→right" (small win " BEC1" to "BEC4": hereinafter sometimes referred to as "lower bell".), and in the case of pressing order of "middle → right → left", the winning combination always wins 1 payout. However, in the case of pushing orders other than those mentioned above, a player wins a winning combination that can obtain a payout of one card, or a failure occurs. Therefore, the pressing order of "middle→left→right" is the correct pressing order.

In addition, in the winning hand group "BE4(1)" to "BE4(3)", the constituent combination ("lower bell ”), and in the case of the pushing order of “middle → left → right”, one prize is always awarded. Either the constituent role is won, or there is a dropout. Therefore, the pressing order of "middle→right→left" is the correct pressing order.

In addition, in the winning hand group "BE5(1)" to "BE5(3)", the maximum payout (8 cards) can be obtained only in the case of pressing order of "right→left→middle" (small win " BED1": hereinafter sometimes referred to as "middle bell".), and in the case of pressing order of "Right → Center → Left", always win a prize in a combination that gives 1 payout, other than these In the case of the pressing order of , the player wins a prize in which one payout can be obtained, or a failure occurs. Therefore, the pressing order of "right→left→middle" is the correct pressing order.

In addition, in the winning hand group "BE6(1)" to "BE6(3)", the constituent combination ("middle bell ”), and if the pressing order is “Right→Left→Middle”, you will always win a prize of 1 card. Either the constituent role is won, or there is a dropout. Therefore, the pressing order of "right→middle→left" is the correct pressing order.

(7) Symbol Judging Means 106
The symbol determination means 106 in FIG. 4 determines the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R controlled to be stopped by the reel rotation control means 105 based on the respective rotational positions of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R detected by the reel detection means 104. is a predetermined display mode.

Specifically, when the reel rotation control means 105 controls all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R to stop, the symbol determination means 106 acquires the rotational position information of each of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, and determines the winning line. Identify the symbol combination of . If the specified symbol combination corresponds to a symbol combination related to winning of a predetermined winning combination, it is determined that the winning combination has been won, and if none of the above applies, it is determined to be lost.

(8) Payout control means 107
A payout control means 107 in FIG. 4 activates the hopper unit 43 to win a prize if the symbol judgment means 106 judges that the player has won one of the winning combinations, and if it is a prize with medal payout. Medals are paid out by the number of payouts corresponding to the winning combination. However, if the number of stored credit medals has not reached the upper limit (for example, 50 in this embodiment), the number of credit medals is increased by the number of payouts.

(9) medal control means 108
The medal control means 108 shown in FIG. 4 controls the operation of the medal selector 48 to switch between enabling and disabling reception of medals.

(10) Game section control means 109
The game zone control means 109 controls to one game zone out of a plurality of game zones shown in FIG. Incidentally, the game zone control means 109 corresponds to the "game zone control means" of the present invention.

In this embodiment, as a game section, as shown in FIG. ): Refer to FIG. 9), an AT game (equivalent to the “special game” of the present invention) that informs the order of pressing the correct answer at the time of winning an advantageous section (equivalent to the “advantageous section” of the present invention) , unacceptable non-advantageous section (corresponding to the “non-advantageous section” of the present invention). Advantageous sections include normal (AT challenge precursor section, AT challenge section, normal game section, CZ1 to CZ3 section), pseudo-bonus section, AT (AT section, specialized zone precursor section), as shown in FIG. , specialized zones (specialized zone 1 section, specialized zone 2 sections, specialized zone 3 sections), intervals (battle precursor section, battle section) are included.

The non-advantageous section is a game section based on the fact that the slot machine 1 is in the setting changeable state, for example, when the setting changeable state or when the set value is confirmed in the setting changeable state. It is initialized and set, and is set when a predetermined non-advantageous section transition condition is satisfied in an advantageous section.

In this embodiment, when the predetermined non-advantageous section transition condition is established,
(i) When the number of games played in the advantageous section reaches 1500,
(ii) When the number of increased numbers in the advantageous section (value obtained by subtracting the number of inserted cards from the number of payout cards) reaches 2400,
(iii) When the pseudo bonus section ends and there is no AT stock,
(iv) If the battle section ends and there is no AT stock,
(i) to (iv) of are set.

Here, a setting example of the game section related to the setting change will be described.

In this embodiment, the power is turned off, the power is turned on, and the slot machine 1 is in a setting changeable state (the power switch 50a is turned off, the setting change key switch 50b is turned on, and the setting change key switch 50b is turned on). is turned on and the power switch 50a is turned on, the slot machine 1 transitions), the game interval before the power cut is maintained. . Note that the contents stored in the RWM 65 are not updated.

On the other hand, a power failure occurs, the power is turned on, and the slot machine 1 is in a setting changeable state (the power switch 50a is turned off, the setting change key switch 50b is turned on, and the setting change key switch 50b is turned on). state in which the slot machine 1 transitions by turning on the power switch 50a in the state), the game interval is set to the changeable state before the power is cut off. is initialized and becomes a non-advantageous section. In this case, the game state information stored in the RWM 65, the combination lottery result storage area 652, each flag of the flag storage area 653 (game section flag, release mode flag, battle level flag, BNS start game number storage area 654, SZ Each storage content of the storage area 655 is initialized, and the count values of the counters CT1 to CT16 are initialized to 0. By this initialization, for example, the game state becomes normal RT (NOM), and the game is played. The section becomes a non-advantageous section.

(10-1) Advantageous Section Transition Control Means 109a
Advantageous zone transition control means 109a in game zone control means 109 in FIG. 4 controls transition from a non-advantageous zone to an advantageous zone.

Specifically, the advantageous interval transition control means 109a, in a game in which the game interval flag at the start of the game is "0" (non-advantageous interval), when normal RT (NOM), inside RBB (RBBF) , Winning role group "RPCH1" (lower role number $06) ~ "WM" (lower role number $0B), "BEALL1" (lower role number $0E) ~ "BE6 (3)" (lower role number $21) (See "○" in Fig. 12) If you win, one of the winning transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section and the non-winning transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section will be determined as one. hold a lottery. Below, the winning combination groups "RPCH1" (lower role number $06) to "WM" (lower role number $0B), "BEALL1" (lower role number $0E) to "BE6 (3)" (lower role number $ 21) is appropriately described as an “advantageous section transition combination”. Note that the configuration of the advantageous section transition combination can be changed as appropriate. Then, in the case of winning the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, the advantageous section transition control means 109a sets the count value of the advantageous section remaining game number counter CT1 to "1500".

Advantageous section transition control means 109a, in the case of winning the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section (when the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is determined), the AT challenge precursor section (28 games) An AT challenge lottery is performed at the time of winning an advantageous section to determine one of winning and winning of an AT challenge section (four games). As a result of the AT challenge lottery at the time of winning the advantageous zone, in the case of winning the AT challenge precursor zone (28 games), the advantageous zone transition control means 109a sets the game zone flag to "1" (AT challenge precursor zone), The count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is set to the number of games played in the AT challenge precursor section "28". On the other hand, in the case of winning the AT challenge section (4 games), the advantageous section transition control means 109a sets the game section flag to "2" (AT challenge section), and increases the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4. Set the number of games in the AT challenge section to "4".

In addition, as the AT challenge section (4 games), two types of AT challenge section (4 games) with different winning probability of giving AT stock and weak AT challenge section (4 games) are provided. Appropriate changes, such as making the lottery to determine one of the winning AT challenge precursor section (28 games), winning the strong AT challenge section (4 games), and winning the weak AT challenge section (4 games) can do.

Advantageous section transition control means 109a further performs point high probability related processing, CZ section start related processing, and BNS section start related processing when the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is won.

In the high point probability related processing, the advantageous section transition control means 109a sets the count value "64" to the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5, and sets the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 to "5" BNS points. In addition, the game in which the count value of the point high-probability remaining game number counter CT5 at the start of the game is "1" or more is compared to the game in which the count value of the point high-probability remaining game number counter CT5 at the start of the game is "0". , the expected value is high as the number of awarded BNS points is large. In addition, the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 is used when determining the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus section, and the larger the count value of the BNS point counter CT6, the more advantageous the player is among the BNS setting information candidates described later. Expectations are high.

In the CZ zone start-related processing, the advantageous zone transition control means 109a controls the game state (normal RT (NOM), normal RT (NOM), The number of games in the RBB (RBBF)) (hereinafter referred to as "CZ section start game number") is determined to be one from a plurality of predetermined CZ section start game number candidates, CZ A lottery for the number of games to start the section is performed. Then, the advantageous interval transition control means 109a sets the count value of the CZ interval start remaining game number counter CT7 to the determined CZ interval start game number.

In the BNS section start-related processing, the advantageous section transition control means 109a performs a release mode lottery to determine one of the release modes 1 to 3 used in the lottery for the number of games to start the pseudo-bonus section, which will be described later, and flags The release mode flag formed in the storage area 653 is set to "1" for winning in release mode 1, to "2" for winning in release mode 2, and to "3" for winning in release mode 3. . However, release mode 3, release mode 2, and release mode 1 are advantageous for the player in that order. Note that the release mode is set to "0" when initialized. Subsequently, the advantageous interval transition control means 109a uses the setting contents of the release mode flag to determine the game state (normal RT ( NOM), the number of games in the inside of the RBB (RBBF)) (hereinafter referred to as "the number of games to start the pseudo-bonus section") is selected from a plurality of predetermined candidates for the number of games to start the pseudo-bonus section. A pseudo bonus section start game number lottery to be determined is performed. Then, the advantageous section transition control means 109a sets the value of the BNS start game number storage area 654 to the determined pseudo bonus section start game number. At this time, the count value of the BNS start game number counter CT8 is "0". If the maximum value of the number of games to start the pseudo-bonus section is 512, the game state (normal RT (NOM), RBB The ceiling number of games in the internal medium (RBBF)) is 512, and if a maximum of 512 games are played in a game state other than the bonus game state (RBB) after shifting to the advantageous section, the game section becomes a pseudo-bonus section. Become.

The advantageous section transition control means 109a always determines that the advantageous section transition is to be transitioned from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section when the advantageous section transition combination is won, and the lottery result of the advantageous section transition lottery indicates that the non-advantageous section is changed to the advantageous section. The same processing content as the processing content in the case of winning the transition of 1 may be performed.

In the advantageous section, the AT section is the game section with the highest expected value in which the number of increased medals is large, and when comparing the AT challenge section and the pseudo bonus section, the AT challenge section is higher than the pseudo bonus section. If the expected value of shifting to the AT section is high, the granting of "25" BNS points used to determine the number of games in the pseudo bonus section will be more attractive to the player than the AT challenge lottery, which is the lottery target for the AT challenge section. advantage is low.

Note that the AT challenge lottery corresponds to the "special control" of the present invention, the granting of BNS points "25" corresponds to the "specific control" of the present invention, and the process A corresponds to the "initialization process" of the present invention. .

The non-advantageous section transition control means 109bb in FIG. 4 controls the transition from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section based on (i) and (ii) of the predetermined non-advantageous section transition conditions.

Specifically, the non-advantageous section transition control means 109bb sets the game section flag to "0" (non-advantageous section flag) when the count value of the advantageous section game number counter CT1 reaches "0" by subtracting 1 in the game. interval). At this time, each flag in the flag storage area 653 (game section flag, release mode flag, battle level flag, BNS start game number storage area 654, SZ storage area 655 storage contents, and counts of each counter CT1 to CT16 The value is initialized to "0".

Further, the non-advantageous section transition control means 109bb adds the count value of the increased medal number counter CT2 by the number of medals when medals are paid out in the game of the advantageous section, and the medals are inserted. If so, the count value of the increased medal number counter CT2 is subtracted by that number. However, if the count value of the increased medal number counter CT2 after the addition and subtraction becomes negative, the count value of the increased medal number counter CT2 is rewritten to "0". Then, the non-advantageous section transition control means 109bb sets the game section flag to "0" (non-advantageous section) when the count value of the additional medal number counter CT2 reaches "2400". At this time, each flag in the flag storage area 653 (game section flag, release mode flag, battle level flag, BNS start game number storage area 654, SZ storage area 655 storage contents, and counts of each counter CT1 to CT16 The value is initialized to "0".

(10-2c) Normal control means 109bc
The normal time control means 109bc in FIG. 4 performs various controls in the advantageous section (normal).

(Control in the AT challenge precursor section)
The AT challenge precursor section of the advantageous section (normal) is a game section in which the AT challenge precursor lottery is performed during the later-described AT challenge precursor section of up to 28 games.

In a game in which the game period flag at the start of the game is "1" (AT challenge precursor period), the normal control means 109bc subtracts 1 from the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3. Then, if it is a game in which a predetermined winning hand group is won, the normal time control means 109bc determines one of AT challenge section winning and AT challenge section non-winning. hold a lottery. In the case of winning the AT challenge section, the normal control means 109bc sets the game section flag to "2" (AT challenge section) and sets the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 to "4". At this time, the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is set to "0". The predetermined winning combination groups are, for example, the winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $06) to the winning combination group "RPCH2" (lower combination number $07), and the winning combination group "EX1" (lower combination number $07). 09) to the winning combination group "WM" (lower combination number $0B), "BEALL1" (lower combination number $0E) to "BE6(3)" (lower combination number $21), which can be changed as appropriate.

On the other hand, when the AT challenge section is not won, if the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 reaches "0" by subtracting 1, the normal control means 109bc enters the AT challenge section. If not, the game section flag is set to "3" (normal game section).

In addition, as the AT challenge section (4 games), two types of AT challenge sections (4 games) and weak AT challenge sections (4 games) with different winning probabilities of giving AT stock are provided. The challenge lottery can be changed as appropriate, such as determining one of winning in the strong AT challenge section, winning in the weak AT challenge section, and non-winning in the AT challenge section.

(Control in AT challenge section)
The AT challenge section of the advantageous section (normal) is a game section in which an AT stock lottery is performed during the AT challenge section described later for four games. In this embodiment, the winning probability of giving AT stock in the AT stock lottery during the AT challenge section is higher than the winning probability of giving AT stock in the later-described AT stock lottery during the pseudo-bonus section performed in the pseudo-bonus section. is configured to be Note that one AT stock is one set of advantageous section (AT).

In a game in which the game interval flag at the start of the game is "2" (AT challenge interval), the normal control means 109bc subtracts 1 from the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4. Then, in the case of a game in which a predetermined winning hand group is won, the normal control means 109bc determines one of AT stock grant winning and AT stock grant non-winning. A stock lottery will be held. The predetermined winning combination group is, for example, a winning combination group other than the winning combination group "ZEN" (lower combination number $0C) to the winning combination group "ACL" (lower combination number $0D), and can be changed as appropriate. be.

Then, in the case of winning the grant of AT stock, the normal time control means 109bc adds 1 to the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10, and determines the winning of the special zone 1 section and the non-winning of the special zone 1 section. A special zone lottery will be held in the AT challenge section to determine one from among them. In the case of winning the special zone 1 section, the normal control means 109bc stocks the special zone 1 section in the SZ stock storage area 655 . Along with this, the normal time control means 109bc determines the number of games played in the special zone precursor section (hereinafter referred to as “the number of ) is determined to be one of a plurality of candidates for the number of games played in a predetermined specialized zone precursor section. A special zone precursor section game number lottery is performed in the AT challenge section, and an SZ precursor section remaining game number counter CT11 is set. Set the count value of the determined special zone precursor section game number.

In addition, in a game in which the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is decremented by 1 and reaches "0", after the AT stock lottery or the like during the AT challenge section, the normal control means 109bc resets the AT stock remaining number counter CT10. When the count value is "0" (no AT stock), the game section flag is set to "3" (normal game section). Further, when the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 is "1" or more (AT stock exists), it is determined to shift to the advantageous section (AT). If the count value of the remaining AT stock number counter CT10 is "1" or more (there is AT stock), but the special zone section is not stocked in the SZ stock storage area 655, the normal time control means 109bc The game section flag is set to "8" (AT section), the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 is "1" or more (with AT stock), and the special zone section is stocked in the SZ stock storage area 655 If so, the game section flag is set to "9" (specialized zone precursor section).

When the game section flag is set to "8" (AT section) or "9" (specialized zone precursor section), the normal time control means 109bc changes the count value of the AT remaining game number counter CT13 to a predetermined AT initial game number, and 1 is subtracted from the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT4. Incidentally, the AT initial game number may be determined by lottery.

(BNS point grant control)
In the game where the game section flag at the start of the game is "1" to "6" (AT challenge precursor section, AT challenge section, normal game section, CZ1 to CZ2 section), the normal control means 109bc is a point high probability remaining game If the count value of the number counter CT5 is "1" or more, 1 is subtracted.

In the game in which the game interval flag at the start of the game is "3" to "6" (normal game interval, CZ1 to CZ3 interval), if it is a game in which a predetermined winning combination group is won, the normal control means 109bc Using the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5 at the start, a BNS point grant lottery is performed to determine one BNS point grant number from a plurality of predetermined BNS point grant number candidates. Then, the normal time control means 109bc adds the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 by the determined number of BNS points to be given. In the BNS point grant lottery, the expected value of the number of BNS points granted when the count value of the high-point probability remaining game number counter CT5 at the start of the game is "1" or more is the high-point probability remaining game number counter CT5 at the start of the game is higher than the expected value of the number of BNS points granted when the count value of is "0". The predetermined winning combination groups are, for example, winning combination group "HZ" (lower combination number $00), winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $06) to winning combination group "RPCH2" (lower combination number $ 07), Winning role group "EX1" (lower role number $09) ~ Winning role group "WM" (lower role number $0B), "BEALL1" (lower role number $0E) - "BE6 (3)" (lower role number) The winning combination number is $21), which can be changed as appropriate.

(CZ section transition control when the number of CZ section start games is reached)
When winning the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section, in the CZ section start related processing, the count value of the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 is set to the number of CZ section start games determined by the CZ section start game number lottery. It is

From the game of the first game in the advantageous section, the normal time control means 109bc is a game state other than the bonus game state (RBB) (normal RT (NOM), inside RBB (RBBF)), CZ section start remaining game 1 is subtracted from the count value of the number counter CT7. By subtracting 1 from the count value of the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7, the normal time control means 109bc shifts to the CZ section (CZ1 to CZ3 section) in the game in which the count value becomes "0". is determined, and a CZ type lottery is performed to determine one of winning in the CZ1 section, winning in the CZ2 section, and winning in the CZ3 section. In this embodiment, the CZ1 section is a 6-game chance zone in which a shift to the pseudo-bonus section can be expected, and AT stock is awarded if the release mode is 3 when shifting to the pseudo-bonus section. Also, the CZ2 section is a chance zone of 11 games in which a shift to the pseudo-bonus section can be expected, and AT stock is provided if the release mode is 3 when shifting to the pseudo-bonus section. Also, the CZ3 section is a 16-game chance zone in which a shift to the pseudo-bonus section can be expected, and AT stock is always provided at the time of transition to the pseudo-bonus section.

The normal time control means 109bc sets the game section flag to "4" (CZ1 section) and sets the count value of the CZ section remaining game number counter CT12 to "6" when winning the CZ1 section. Also, in the case of winning in the CZ2 section, the game section flag is set to "5" (CZ2 section), and the count value of the CZ section remaining game number counter CT12 is set to "11". Also, in the case of winning the CZ3 section, the game section flag is set to "6" (CZ3 section), and the count value of the CZ section remaining game number counter CT12 is set to "16".

In addition, in a game in which the game period flag at the start of the game is "3" (normal game period), if the game wins a predetermined winning hand group, the normal control means 109bc controls the winning of the CZ1 period and the CZ2 period. A lottery may be performed to determine one of winning of , winning of the CZ3 section, and non-winning of the CZ section.

(Pseudo-bonus section transition control when the number of games played at the start of the pseudo-bonus section is reached)
When the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is won, the number of pseudo bonus section start games determined by the pseudo bonus section start game number lottery is set in the BNS start game number storage area 654 in the BNS section start related processing. there is It should be noted that the count value of the BNS start game number counter CT8 when winning the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is "0". The number of pseudo-bonus-section starting games stored in the BNS-starting-game-number storage area 654 is changed to the pseudo-bonus-section-starting-game-number stored in the BNS-starting-game-number storage area 654 by rewriting control of the pseudo-bonus-section-starting-game number, which will be described later. The game number may be rewritten.

From the game of the first game in the advantageous section, the normal time control means 109bc is a game state other than the bonus game state (RBB) (normal RT (NOM), inside RBB (RBBF)), BNS start game number counter Add 1 to the count value of CT8. Then, when the BNS start game number counter CT8 after adding 1 reaches the pseudo bonus section start game number stored in the BNS start game number storage area 654, the normal time control means 109bc shifts to the pseudo bonus section. The game section flag is set to "7" (pseudo bonus section), and the count value of the pseudo bonus section start game number counter CT8 after adding 1 is a predetermined value (for example, "481"). ), the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 is incremented by one.

The normal time control means 109bc controls the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 (when BNS points are awarded in the game, the updated count value, and when BNS points are not awarded in the game, at the time of game start) count value), the BNS setting information including the number of games played in the pseudo bonus section (hereinafter referred to as "the number of games played in the pseudo bonus section") is combined into one from a plurality of BNS setting information candidates. A pseudo bonus section game number lottery to be determined is performed. In this embodiment, there are four BNS setting information candidates "40", "50", "60", and "60+AT", and numerical values such as "40" in the BNS setting information candidates represent the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus section. , "AT" indicates the provision of AT stock. In the pseudo-bonus period game number lottery, the larger the count value of the BNS point counter CT6, the greater the expected value that the lottery result of the pseudo-bonus period game number lottery is advantageous to the player.

The normal time control means 109bc sets the count values of the pseudo bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 and the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 based on the lottery result of the pseudo bonus section game number lottery. For example, in the case of winning the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus section "40", the count value of the pseudo-bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 is set to "40", and in the case of winning the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus section "60+AT", the pseudo-bonus section The count value of the remaining game number counter CT9 is set to "60", and the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 is incremented by one.

After the end of the above process, the normal time control means 109bc sets the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 to "0", and sets the number of pseudo bonus section start games stored in the BNS start game number storage area 654 to "0". If the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 is greater than or equal to "1", it is set to "0".

(Rewriting control of the number of games to start the pseudo-bonus section in the normal game section)
The normal game section is a game section that transitions to a pseudo-bonus section.

In the game in which the game period flag at the start of the game is "3" (normal game period), if the game wins the predetermined winning hand group, the normal time control means 109bc stores it in the BNS start game number storage area 654. A lottery for rewriting the number of pseudo-bonus-section starting games is performed to determine one of winning and non-winning of rewriting of the number of pseudo-bonus-section starting games. The predetermined winning combination groups are, for example, the winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $06) to the winning combination group "RPCH2" (lower combination number $07), and the winning combination group "EX1" (lower combination number $07). 09) to the winning combination group “WM” (lower combination number $0B) and “BEALL1” (lower combination number $0E), which can be changed as appropriate.

In the case of winning to rewrite the number of pseudo bonus section start games, the count value of the BNS start game number counter CT8 from the number of pseudo bonus section start games stored in the BNS start game number storage area 654 (if 1 is added in the game is the count value after 1 is added, or if the game does not add 1, the count value at the start of the game) is subtracted (remaining number of games until transition to the pseudo bonus section) is a predetermined value “16” or more If so, the normal time control means 109bc selects the rewrite game number used for rewriting the pseudo bonus section start game number stored in the BNS start game number storage area 654 from a plurality of rewrite game number candidates "0" to "15". (a value for subtracting the number of games played until the transition to the pseudo-bonus interval). The normal time control means 109bc subtracts the number of rewrite games determined by the pseudo bonus section start rewrite game number lottery from the number of pseudo bonus section start games stored in the BNS start game number storage area 654, and the BNS start game number storage area. The pseudo bonus section start game number stored in 654 is rewritten to the subtraction value. Note that the predetermined value "16" and the plurality of rewrite game number candidates "0" to "15" can be changed as appropriate.

On the other hand, if the subtraction value is less than the predetermined value “16”, the pseudo bonus section start rewriting game number lottery is not performed (rewriting of the pseudo bonus section start game number stored in the BNS start game number storage area 654 ), the normal time control means 109bc adds 1 to the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10.

(Processing in CZ1 section)
As described above, the CZ1 section is a 6-game chance zone, and AT stock is awarded if the release mode is 3 when transitioning to the pseudo-bonus section.

In a game in which the game interval flag at the start of the game is "4" (CZ1 interval), the normal control means 109bc subtracts 1 from the count value of the CZ interval remaining game number counter CT12.

In the case of a game in which a predetermined winning hand group is won, the normal time control means 109bc determines one of the pseudo bonus zone transition winning and the pseudo bonus zone transition non-winning. A section transfer lottery will be held. The predetermined winning combination groups are, for example, the winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $06) to the winning combination group "RPCH2" (lower combination number $07), and the winning combination group "EX1" (lower combination number $07). 09) to the winning combination group "WM" (lower combination number $0B), "BEALL1" (lower combination number $0E) to "BE6(3)" (lower combination number $21), which can be changed as appropriate.

In the case of winning the transition to the pseudo-bonus section, the normal control means 109bc changes the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 (if BNS points are awarded in the game, the updated count value, BNS points are awarded in the game) If not, the count value at the start of the game) is used to determine the pseudo-bonus interval setting information including the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus interval to one from a plurality of pseudo-bonus interval setting information candidates. A lottery for the number of games played in the pseudo bonus section is performed. In this CZ1 section pseudo-bonus section game number lottery, the larger the count value of the BNS point counter CT6, the higher the expected value for selection of advantageous pseudo-bonus section setting information. In this embodiment, a plurality of pieces of pseudo bonus section setting information are "40", "50", "60", and "60+AT", but are not limited to this. In the pseudo-bonus section setting information, a numerical value such as "40" indicates the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus section, and "AT" indicates the provision of AT stock.

The normal time control means 109bc updates the count values of the pseudo bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 and the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 based on the winning pseudo bonus section setting information. For example, if the pseudo bonus section setting information "40" is won, the count value of the pseudo bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 is set to "40", and if the pseudo bonus section setting information "60+AT" is won, the pseudo The count value of the bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 is set to "60", and the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 is incremented by one.

In the case of winning the transition to the pseudo-bonus section, and in the case of cancellation mode 3, the normal control means 109bc adds 1 to the count value of the remaining AT stock counter CT10.

After the end of the above-described processing in the case of winning the transition to the pseudo bonus section, the normal time control means 109bc sets the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 to "0", and the BNS start game number storage area 654 stores it. The number of games at the start of the pseudo bonus section is set to "0", and if the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 is "1" or more, it is set to "0".

Further, when the transition to the pseudo bonus section is not determined in the game in which the count value of the CZ section remaining game number counter CT12 is decremented by 1 and the count value becomes "0", the normal control means 109bc Set the section flag to "3" (normal game section), add a predetermined value (for example, "20") to the count value of the high point probability remaining game counter CT5, and add +5 to the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 .

(Processing in CZ2 section)
As described above, the CZ2 section is a chance zone for 11 games, and AT stock is awarded if the release mode is 3 when shifting to the pseudo-bonus section.

In a game in which the game interval flag at the start of the game is "5" (CZ2 interval), the normal control means 109bc subtracts 1 from the count value of the CZ interval remaining game number counter CT12.

In the case of a game in which a predetermined winning hand group is won, the normal time control means 109bc determines one of the pseudo-bonus period transition winning and the pseudo-bonus transition non-winning. A section transfer lottery will be held. The predetermined winning combination groups are, for example, the winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $06) to the winning combination group "RPCH2" (lower combination number $07), and the winning combination group "EX1" (lower combination number $07). 09) to the winning combination group "WM" (lower combination number $0B), "BEALL1" (lower combination number $0E) to "BE6(3)" (lower combination number $21), which can be changed as appropriate.

In the case of winning the transition to the pseudo-bonus section, the normal control means 109bc changes the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 (if BNS points are awarded in the game, the updated count value, BNS points are awarded in the game) If not, the count value at the start of the game) is used to determine the pseudo-bonus interval setting information including the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus interval to one from a plurality of pseudo-bonus interval setting information candidates. A lottery for the number of games played in the pseudo bonus section is performed. In this CZ2 section pseudo-bonus section game number lottery, the larger the count value of the BNS point counter CT6, the higher the expected value for selection of advantageous pseudo-bonus section setting information. In this embodiment, a plurality of pieces of pseudo bonus section setting information are "40", "50", "60", and "60+AT", but are not limited to this. In the pseudo-bonus section setting information, a numerical value such as "40" indicates the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus section, and "AT" indicates the provision of AT stock.

The normal time control means 109bc updates the count values of the pseudo bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 and the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 based on the winning pseudo bonus section setting information. For example, if the pseudo bonus section setting information "40" is won, the count value of the pseudo bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 is set to "40", and if the pseudo bonus section setting information "60+AT" is won, the pseudo The count value of the bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 is set to "60", and the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 is incremented by one.

In the case of winning the transition to the pseudo-bonus section, and in the case of cancellation mode 3, the normal control means 109bc adds 1 to the count value of the remaining AT stock counter CT10.

After the end of the above-described processing in the case of winning the transition to the pseudo bonus section, the normal time control means 109bc sets the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 to "0", and the BNS start game number storage area 654 stores it. The number of games at the start of the pseudo bonus section is set to "0", and if the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 is "1" or more, it is set to "0".

Further, when the transition to the pseudo bonus section is not determined in the game in which the count value of the CZ section remaining game number counter CT12 is decremented by 1 and the count value becomes "0", the normal control means 109bc Set the section flag to "3" (normal game section), add a predetermined value (for example, "20") to the count value of the high point probability remaining game counter CT5, and add +5 to the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 .

(Processing in CZ3 section)
As described above, the CZ3 section is a 16-game chance zone, and an AT stock is always provided when transitioning to the pseudo-bonus section.

In a game in which the game interval flag at the start of the game is "6" (CZ3 interval), the normal control means 109bc subtracts 1 from the count value of the CZ interval remaining game number counter CT12.

In the case of a game in which a predetermined winning hand group is won, the normal time control means 109bc determines one of the pseudo bonus zone transition winning and the pseudo bonus zone transition non-winning. A section transfer lottery will be held. The predetermined winning combination groups are, for example, the winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $06) to the winning combination group "RPCH2" (lower combination number $07), and the winning combination group "EX1" (lower combination number $07). 09) to the winning combination group "WM" (lower combination number $0B), "BEALL1" (lower combination number $0E) to "BE6(3)" (lower combination number $21), which can be changed as appropriate.

In the case of winning the transition to the pseudo-bonus section, the normal control means 109bc changes the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 (if BNS points are awarded in the game, the updated count value, BNS points are awarded in the game) If not, the count value at the start of the game) is used to determine the pseudo-bonus interval setting information including the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus interval to one from a plurality of pseudo-bonus interval setting information candidates. A lottery for the number of games played in the pseudo bonus section is performed. In this CZ3 section pseudo-bonus section game number lottery, the larger the count value of the BNS point counter CT6, the higher the expected value for selecting the advantageous pseudo-bonus section setting information. In this embodiment, a plurality of pieces of pseudo bonus section setting information are "40", "50", "60", and "60+AT", but are not limited to this. In the pseudo-bonus section setting information, a numerical value such as "40" indicates the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus section, and "AT" indicates the provision of AT stock.

The normal time control means 109bc updates the count values of the pseudo bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 and the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 based on the winning pseudo bonus section setting information. For example, if the pseudo bonus section setting information "40" is won, the count value of the pseudo bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 is set to "40", and if the pseudo bonus section setting information "60+AT" is won, the pseudo The count value of the bonus section remaining game number counter CT9 is set to "60", and the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 is incremented by one.

In the case of winning the transition to the pseudo-bonus section, the normal time control means 109bc further adds 1 to the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10.

After the end of the above-described processing in the case of winning the transition to the pseudo bonus section, the normal time control means 109bc sets the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 to "0", and the BNS start game number storage area 654 stores it. The number of games at the start of the pseudo bonus section is set to "0", and if the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 is "1" or more, it is set to "0".

Further, when the transition to the pseudo bonus section is not determined in the game in which the count value of the CZ section remaining game number counter CT12 is decremented by 1 and the count value becomes "0", the normal control means 109bc Set the section flag to "3" (normal game section), add a predetermined value (for example, "20") to the count value of the high point probability remaining game counter CT5, and add +5 to the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 .

(10-2d) Pseudo-bonus control means 109bd
The pseudo-bonus control means 109bd in FIG. 4 performs various controls in the advantageous section (pseudo-Venus section). The pseudo-bonus section is an effect state in which an AT lottery is performed during the pseudo-bonus section, and if there is an AT stock at the end of the pseudo-bonus section, the game shifts to an advantageous section (AT).

In a game in which the game section flag at the start of the game is "7" (pseudo bonus section), the pseudo bonus time control means 109bd subtracts 1 from the count value of the pseudo bonus section remaining game number counter CT9.

(Navigation control in the pseudo-bonus section)
In a game in which the game section flag at the start of the game is "7" (pseudo bonus section), winning combination groups "BEA1 (1)" (lower combination number $10) to "BE6 (3)" (lower combination number $21) ), the pseudo-bonus time control means 109bd determines one of the winning of the notification of the correct pressing order and the non-winning of the notification of the correct pressing order. I do. If the notification of the order of pressing the correct answer is won, the functions of the command generating means 110 and command transmitting means 111 of the main CPU 61, the command receiving means 200, the effect content determining means 201 and the display control means 202 of the sub CPU 71 are used to display the liquid crystal display. At 27, a navigation effect is performed to notify the pressing order of the correct answer. The expected value for reporting the correct pressing order in the pseudo-bonus section is lower than the expected value for reporting the correct pressing order in the advantageous section (AT).

(AT stock control, etc. in the pseudo-bonus section)
In the game in which the game period flag at the start of the game is "7" (pseudo-bonus period), if the game wins a predetermined winning hand group, the pseudo-bonus time control means 109bd determines whether the AT stock is awarded and the AT stock is won. An AT stock lottery is carried out during a pseudo bonus section to determine one of the non-winning of the stock grant. The predetermined winning combination groups are, for example, the winning combination group "HZ" (lower combination number $00), the winning combination group "RNP" (lower combination number $02), and the winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $ 03) ~Winning hand group "RPCH2" (lower hand number $04), winning hand group "EX1" (lower hand number $09) - winning hand group "WM" (lower hand number $0B), winning hand group "BEALL1" ” (lower award number $0E), which can be changed as appropriate.

Then, in the case of winning the grant of AT stock, the pseudo-bonus time control means 109bd adds 1 to the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10, and furthermore, the special zone 1 section is won and the specialized zone 1 section is not won. A special zone lottery will be held in the pseudo-bonus section to determine one from the above. In the case of winning the special zone 1 section, the pseudo-bonus time control means 109bd stocks the special zone 1 section in the SZ stock storage area 655, and further stocks the first special zone section after shifting to the advantageous section. If there is, a lottery for the number of games played in the special zone precursor section in the pseudo-bonus section is performed to determine the number of games played in the special zone precursor section to one from a plurality of predetermined candidates for the number of games played in the special zone precursor section. Then, the pseudo-bonus time control means 109bd sets the count value of the SZ precursor section remaining game number counter CT11 to the determined special zone precursor section game number.

(Transition control from pseudo-bonus section to non-advantageous section or advantageous section (AT))
In a game in which the count value of the counter for the number of games remaining in the pseudo-bonus section CT9 is decremented by 1 and reaches "0", and no AT stock is provided in the game in the pseudo-bonus section including the game (AT stock When the count value of the remaining number counter CT10 is "0" (no AT stock), the pseudo-bonus time control means 109bd sets the game section flag to "0" (non-advantageous section). It should be noted that this is (iii) transition from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section when the pseudo-bonus section ends and there is no AT stock among the predetermined non-advantageous section transition conditions.

On the other hand, when the AT stock is provided in the game in the pseudo bonus section including the game (when the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 is "1" or more (AT stock is present)) , it is decided to shift to the advantageous section (AT), and the pseudo-bonus time control means 109bd determines that the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 is "1" or more (AT stock is present), but the SZ stock storage area 655 If the specialized zone section is not stocked, the game section flag is set to "8" (AT section), and the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT10 is "1" or more (AT stock is present). , when the special zone section is stocked in the SZ stock storage area 655, the game section flag is set to "9" (special zone precursor section). Then, when the game section flag is set to "8" (AT section) or "9" (specialized zone precursor section), the pseudo-bonus time control means 109bd sets the count value of the AT remaining game number counter CT13 to a predetermined value. The AT initial game number is set, and 1 is subtracted from the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT4. Incidentally, the AT initial game number may be determined by lottery.

(10-2e) AT time control means 109be
The AT time control means 109be in FIG. 4 performs various controls in the advantageous section (AT). The advantageous section (AT) is an effect state in which an AT lottery is performed during the AT, and the expected value of increase in medals is the highest among the game sections.

(Navigation control in advantageous section (AT))
In a game in which the game section flag at the start of the game is "8" (AT section) and "9" (specialized zone precursor section), winning combination groups "BEA1 (1)" (lower combination number $10) to "BE6 (3)” (lower combination number $21), the AT time control means 109be selects one of winning of notification of correct pressing order and non-winning of notification of correct pressing order. An AT lottery will be held during the AT to be determined. If the notification of the order of pressing the correct answer is won, the functions of the command generating means 110 and command transmitting means 111 of the main CPU 61, the command receiving means 200, the effect content determining means 201 and the display control means 202 of the sub CPU 71 are used to display the liquid crystal display. At 27, a navigation effect is performed to notify the pressing order of the correct answer. It should be noted that the winning probability of notification of the correct pressing order in the advantageous interval (AT) is higher than the winning probability of notification of the correct pressing order in the pseudo-bonus interval.

In a game in which the game interval flag at the start of the game is "14" (battle interval), the interval time control means 109bg subtracts 1 from the count value of the battle interval remaining game number counter CT16.

In a game in which the game period flag at the start of the game is "14" (battle period), the control means 109bg at intervals gives AT stock using the battle level if the game wins a predetermined winning hand group. An AT stock lottery will be held during the battle section to determine one of the winning of the AT stock and the non-winning of the AT stock, and in the case of winning the AT stock, the count value of the remaining AT stock counter CT10 will be incremented by 1. do. The predetermined winning combination groups are, for example, the winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $06) to the winning combination group "RPCH2" (lower combination number $07), and the winning combination group "EX1" (lower combination number $07). 09) to the winning combination group "WM" (lower combination number $0B), "BEALL1" (lower combination number $0E) to "BE6(3)" (lower combination number $21), which can be changed as appropriate.

In a game in which the count value of the battle section remaining game number counter CT16 is decremented by 1 and becomes "0", if the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT16 is "1" or more (there is an AT stock), interval time control is performed. The means 109bg sets the count value of the AT remaining game number counter CT13 to a predetermined AT initial game number, subtracts 1 from the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT4, and sets the game section flag to "8" (AT section). set to Incidentally, the AT initial game number may be determined by lottery.

On the other hand, in a game in which the count value of the battle section remaining game number counter CT16 is decremented by 1 and becomes "0", if the count value of the AT stock remaining number counter CT16 is "0" (no AT stock), during the interval The control means 109bg sets the game section flag to "0" (non-advantageous section), and at this time sets the release mode flag and the battle level flag to "--" (not set). It should be noted that this is the transition from the advantageous section to the non-advantageous section when (iv) the battle section ends and there is no AT stock among the predetermined non-advantageous section transition conditions.

Here, with reference to FIG. 15(I), an example of control during transition from a non-advantageous section to an advantageous section will be described.

The N−1th game is a game in which the game state is normal RT (NOM) and the game section is a non-advantageous section. In the game of the N-1th game, it is assumed that the winning hand group "HZ" (lower hand number $00) is won in the lower hand, and the winning hand group "HZ" (lower hand number $00) is not an advantageous section transition hand. Therefore, the advantageous section transition lottery is not performed (indicated by "-" in (d) in Fig. 15 (I)), and the advantageous section transition control is performed when the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is won in the advantageous section transition lottery. Various controls of the means 109a are not performed. However, since it is a game in a non-advantageous section, it is possible to implement the advantageous section transition lottery. Also, in the game of the (N−1)th game, it is assumed that even a high-ranking hand wins the winning hand group “HZ” (low-ranking hand number $00), so that the gaming state of the next game is normal RT (NOM).

The N-th game is a game in which the game state is normal RT (NOM) and the game section is a non-advantageous section. In the Nth game, it is assumed that the winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $06) is won in the lower combination. When the winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $06) is won in the lower combination, the combination lottery for the higher combination is not performed, and the next game is in the normal RT (NOM) state.

Since the winning hand group "RPCH1" (lower hand number $06) is an advantageous zone transition role, an advantageous zone transition lottery is conducted, and in the example of FIG. Suppose there is (see (d) in FIG. 15(I)).

At this time, it is assumed that an AT challenge lottery at the time of winning an advantageous section is performed, and in the example of FIG. In this case, the game section flag is set to "1" (AT challenge precursor section), and the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is set to "28" (maximum number of games in AT challenge precursor section). In the case of winning the AT challenge section (4 games), the game section flag is set to "2" (AT challenge section), and the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is set to "4" (AT challenge section). However, in the example of FIG. 15(I), since the AT challenge precursor section (28 games) is won, these settings are not performed, and the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is "0". is. Furthermore, the count value of the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5 is set to "64" (the number of games in the high point probability state), and the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 is set to BNS point "5" (Fig. 15 ( See (g) in I). In addition, the number of CZ section start games is determined, the count value of the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 is set to the determined CZ section start game number, the BNS start game number is determined, and the BNS start game number storage area 654 is stored. Set the value to the determined number of BNS starting games.

In this embodiment, the target data of (f) in FIG. 15 (I) are the value of the game interval flag, the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3, the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT3, It is the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5. However, in the example of FIG. 15(I), the game section flag is "1" (AT challenge precursor section), the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is "28", and the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is The count value of the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5 is set to "0" and "64".

The N+1-th game is a game in which the game state is normal RT (NOM) and the game section is an advantageous section (normal game section).

In the game of the N+1th game, since the game of the N+1th game is a game at normal RT (NOM), the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 and the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5 are initialized. to "0", reset the game section flag to "3" (normal section), and reset the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 to "25" as shown in (g) of FIG. set. However, since the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is "0", there is no need for initialization in the example of FIG. 15(I). In addition, the count value of the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 and the BNS start game number in the BNS start game number storage area 654 are not initialized. In addition, since the N+1 game is the normal game period, the liquid crystal effect by the liquid crystal display 27 and the sound effect by the speakers 31L and 31R are also produced corresponding to the normal game period (hereinafter also referred to as the first effect). You may do so.

In addition, in the game of the N+1th game, since the game section is the advantageous section (normal game section), the control related to the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is not performed.

In addition, when the AT challenge section (4 games) is won in the AT challenge lottery at the time of winning the advantageous section in the Nth game, the following control is performed.

In the N-th game, the game section flag is set to "2" (AT challenge section), and the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is set to "4" (the number of games in the AT challenge section). If the AT challenge precursor section (28 games) is won, the game section flag is set to "1" (AT challenge precursor section) as described above, and the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is changed. It will be set to "28" (the maximum number of games played in the AT challenge precursor section), but since the AT challenge section (4 games) is won, these settings are not performed, and the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 counts. The value is "0". Further, the count value of the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5 is set to "64" (the number of games in the high point probability state), and the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 is set to "5" BNS points. In addition, the number of CZ section start games is determined, the count value of the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 is set to the determined CZ section start game number, the BNS start game number is determined, and the BNS start game number storage area 654 is stored. Set the value to the determined number of BNS starting games.

Incidentally, in this embodiment, the target data of (f) in FIG. It is the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5. However, in the case of winning the AT challenge section (4 games), the game section flag is "2" (AT challenge section), the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is "0", and the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is "0". The count value is set to "4", and the count value of the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5 is set to "64".

Then, in the N+1-th game that follows the N-th game, since the N+1-th game is a game at normal RT (NOM), the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4, the point value The count value of the number-of-probable-remaining-games counter CT5 is initialized to "0", the game section flag is reset to "3" (normal section), and the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 is reset to "25". However, since the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is "0", it is not necessary to initialize in the case of winning the AT challenge section (4 games). In addition, the count value of the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 and the BNS start game number in the BNS start game number storage area 654 are not initialized. Also in this case, since the N+1th game is the normal game period, the liquid crystal effect by the liquid crystal display 27 and the sound effect by the speakers 31L and 31R are also performed in accordance with the normal game period (first effect). can be

Next, with reference to FIG. 15(II), another example of the control during transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section will be described.

The N−1th game is a game in which the game state is inside RBB (RBBF) and the game section is a non-advantageous section. In the game of the N-1th game, it is assumed that the winning hand group "HZ" (lower hand number $00) is won in the lower hand, and the winning hand group "HZ" (lower hand number $00) is not an advantageous section transition hand. Therefore, the advantageous section transition lottery is not performed (indicated by "-" in (d) in FIG. 15 (II)), and the advantageous section transition control is performed when the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is won in the advantageous section transition lottery. Various controls of the means 109a are not performed. However, since it is a game in a non-advantageous section, it is possible to implement the advantageous section transition lottery. Also, it is assumed that the player did not win the bonus combination "RBB" in the N-1th game, so that the gaming state of the next game is RBB inside (RBBF).

The N-th game is a game in which the game state is inside the RBB (RBBF) and the game section is a non-advantageous section. In the Nth game, it is assumed that the winning combination group "RPCH1" (lower combination number $06) is won in the lower combination. Also, it is assumed that the player did not win the bonus combination "RBB" in the N-1th game, so that the gaming state of the next game is RBB inside (RBBF).

Since the winning hand group "RPCH1" (lower hand number $06) is an advantageous section transition hand, an advantageous section transition lottery is performed, and in the example of FIG. Suppose there is (see (d) in FIG. 15(II)).

At this time, an AT challenge lottery is performed when winning an advantageous section, and in the example of FIG. 15(II), it is assumed that the AT challenge precursor section (28 games) was won (see (e) in FIG. 15(II)). In this case, the game section flag is set to "1" (AT challenge precursor section), and the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is set to "28" (maximum number of games in AT challenge precursor section). In the case of winning the AT challenge section (4 games), the game section flag is set to "2" (AT challenge section), and the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is set to "4" (AT challenge section). However, in the example of FIG. 15 (II), since the AT challenge precursor section (28 games) is won, these settings are not performed, and the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is "0". is. Furthermore, the count value of the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5 is set to "64" (the number of games in the high point probability state), and the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 is set to BNS point "5" (Fig. 15 ( (see (g) in II)). In addition, the number of CZ section start games is determined, the count value of the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 is set to the determined CZ section start game number, the BNS start game number is determined, and the BNS start game number storage area 654 is stored. Set the value to the determined number of BNS starting games.

In this embodiment, the target data of (f) in FIG. 15(II) are the value of the game interval flag, the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3, the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT3, It is the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5. However, in the example of FIG. 15(II), the game section flag is "1" (AT challenge precursor section), the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game counter CT3 is "28", and the count value of the ATC remaining game counter CT4 is The count value of the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5 is set to "0" and "64".

The N+1-th game is a game in which the game state is inside the RBB (RBBF) and the game section is an advantageous section (AT challenge precursor section).

In the game of the N+1th game, since the game of the N+1th game is a game inside the RBB (RBBF), the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 and the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5 are initialized. The count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is maintained at "28", and the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5 is maintained at "68". Also, the value of the game section flag is maintained at "1" (AT challenge precursor section), and the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 is maintained at "5". However, since the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is "0", initialization is irrelevant in the example of FIG. 15(II). In addition, the count value of the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 and the BNS start game number in the BNS start game number storage area 654 are not initialized. In addition, since the N+1 game is an AT challenge precursor section, the liquid crystal display by the liquid crystal display 27 and the sound production by the speakers 31L and 31R also correspond to the AT challenge precursor section (hereinafter also referred to as the second production). may be performed.

In addition, in the game of the N+1th game, since the game section is the advantageous section (AT challenge precursor section), control related to transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is not performed.

In addition, when the AT challenge section (4 games) is won in the AT challenge lottery at the time of winning the advantageous section in the Nth game, the following control is performed.

In the N-th game, the game section flag is set to "2" (AT challenge section), and the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is set to "4" (the number of games in the AT challenge section). If the AT challenge precursor section (28 games) is won, the game section flag is set to "1" (AT challenge precursor section) as described above, and the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is changed. It will be set to "28" (the maximum number of games played in the AT challenge precursor section), but since the AT challenge section (4 games) is won, these settings are not performed, and the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 counts. The value is "0". Further, the count value of the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5 is set to "64" (the number of games in the high point probability state), and the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 is set to "5" BNS points. In addition, the number of CZ section start games is determined, the count value of the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 is set to the determined CZ section start game number, the BNS start game number is determined, and the BNS start game number storage area 654 is stored. Set the value to the determined number of BNS starting games.

In this embodiment, the target data of (f) in FIG. 15(II) are the value of the game interval flag, the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3, the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4, It is the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5. However, in the case of winning the AT challenge section (4 games), the game section flag is "2" (AT challenge section), the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is "0", and the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is "0". The count value is set to "4", and the count value of the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5 is set to "64".

Then, in the N+1-th game that follows the N-th game, since the N+1-th game is a game within the RBB (RBBF), the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 and the point value The count value of the probability remaining game number counter CT5 is not initialized, the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 is maintained at "4", and the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5 becomes "68". maintained. Also, the value of the game section flag is maintained at "2" (AT challenge section), and the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 is maintained at "5". However, since the count value of the ATC precursor remaining game number counter CT3 is "0", initialization is irrelevant in the case of winning the AT challenge section (4 games). In addition, the count value of the CZ section start remaining game number counter CT7 and the BNS start game number in the BNS start game number storage area 654 are not initialized. In addition, since the N+1 game is an AT challenge section, the liquid crystal display by the liquid crystal display 27 and the sound effects by the speakers 31L and 31R are also produced corresponding to the AT challenge section (hereinafter also referred to as the third production). You may do so.

Note that the first effect corresponding to the normal game section and the second effect corresponding to the AT challenge sign period may be different effects. In this case, "different presentation" means a different presentation stage or a different presentation background. Specifically, the first effect may be a daytime background effect stage, and the second effect may be a nighttime background effect stage. When the first effect and the second effect are different effects, it is possible to immediately grasp that the transition to the AT challenge precursor section has occurred. On the other hand, the first effect and the second effect may be the same effect. Specifically, both the first production and the second production may be a production stage that serves as a daytime background, and the first production and the second production may both be a production stage that serves as a nighttime background. There may be. In this case, "similar production" means a similar production stage or a similar production background. When the first effect and the second effect are the same effect, it becomes difficult to distinguish between the normal game section and the AT challenge precursor section, so there is a sense of expectation as to which section it is. The game can be advanced while the player is playing, and the desire to continue the game can be enhanced. At this time, the expectation of the player can be improved by providing effects (characters and lines) that are more likely to appear in the AT challenge precursor section than in the normal game section.

In addition, the third effect, which is the effect corresponding to the AT challenge section, is a different effect from the first effect and the second effect, and is an effect stage that makes it possible to recognize that it is an AT challenge section, or an AT challenge section. You may make it the production background which understands that.

Incidentally, when the N+1-th game is a game in the bonus game state (RBB), the same control as in FIG. 15 (II) is performed.

Also, the N-1th game in FIG. 15(I) may be a predetermined effect stage or a predetermined effect background (hereinafter collectively referred to as a fourth effect), and FIG. ), the N-1 game may similarly be a predetermined effect stage or a predetermined effect background. In this case, since the N-1th game in FIG. 15(I) and the N-1th game in FIG. 15(II) are the same predetermined effect stage (predetermined effect background), they are inside the RBB (RBBF). It is difficult to distinguish whether it is a non-advantageous section due to a setting change or a non-advantageous section due to the end of a pseudo-bonus section/battle section (AT section). The fourth effect may be similar to the first effect corresponding to the normal game section and the second effect corresponding to the AT challenge sign period. Both the game of N-1 game in 15 (I) and the game of N-1 game in FIG. Since it is often difficult to distinguish between the first effect, the second effect, and the fourth effect, the player can proceed with the game while having a sense of anticipation as to which section it is.

As in the case of FIG. 15 (II), when the advantageous section ends, passes through the non-advantageous section, and then moves to a new advantageous section again, the AT challenge lottery is performed when winning the advantageous section, so the new advantageous section There is a possibility of being controlled to the advantageous section (AT) relatively early after the start, and the player can have that expectation. In other words, after the end of the advantageous section, it can be said that the state can be expected to shift to the advantageous section (AT). On the other hand, even after the setting is changed, the game starts from a non-advantageous section, so if the above behavior is performed, it becomes easy to understand that the setting has been changed, or immediately after opening (immediately after the start of the game) to the advantageous section (AT). Therefore, there is a risk that the game store may have a negative image of changing the setting itself, and may become reluctant to change the setting. In addition, since there is a possibility that the player will shift to an advantageous section (AT) immediately after the opening of the store, there is a concern that the player may become excessively absorbed in the game. However, as in this embodiment, when the setting is changed, the game state is initialized and controlled to normal RT (NOM), and the normal RT (NOM) or other game state (inside RBB (RBBF), bonus game By maintaining or initializing the control such as the AT challenge lottery at the time of winning the advantageous section as a guideline whether it is in the state (RBB)) or not, after the advantageous section ends, the advantageous section (AT) again On the other hand, it can be suppressed after changing the setting. In addition, it is also possible to wipe out the negative image of the player by giving a benefit (“25” BNS points are given) associated with the restraint when the pseudo-bonus section is activated.

(11) Command creation means 110
The command generating means 110 of FIG. 4 stores information on the result of the winning lottery lottery of the winning lottery means 103, information on the operation of the operation tools operated by the player such as the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R and the start switch 19, and flag storage means. Various information such as the setting state of various flags stored in 653, information on the game state, information on the game section, information on the point high probability state, information on the count value such as the point counter CT6 and the BNS start game number counter CT8 It generates a command to be transmitted to the sub-control board 73 (sub-CPU 71). The command generated by the command generation means 110 is transmitted to the sub-control board 73 by the command transmission means 112 . The sub-control board 73 executes various processes based on the sent command.

For example, in the case of the non-advantageous section, the sub-control board 73 displays "---" at a predetermined first position where the count value of the BNS start game number counter CT8 is displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27. In the case of the advantageous section, the count value of the BNS start game number counter CT8 is displayed at a predetermined first position, and this can be used as a guideline for the number of games required until the shift to the pseudo bonus section. However, even in the case of the advantageous section, for several games (for example, 3 games) after turning on the power, "---" is displayed at the predetermined first position. For example, in game 3), it is possible to make it difficult to understand whether or not the setting has been changed. For example, in the case of the advantageous section, if the BNS start game number counter CT8 is displayed at a predetermined first position from the first game after turning on the power, it will be displayed at the first predetermined position in the first game after turning on the power. If the value is displayed, it can be seen that the setting has not been changed. ) can be prevented by displaying "---" in the first predetermined position. Incidentally, this effect is appropriately referred to as "game number notification effect".

In addition, when displaying the count value of the BNS start game number counter CT8 at the predetermined first position, if the point high probability state is not set (the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5 at the start of the game is "0 ”) is displayed in a predetermined first color (for example, black), and if the point is high probability state (if the count value of the point high probability remaining game number counter CT5 at the start of the game is “1” or more For example), it may be displayed in a predetermined second color (eg, red) different from the predetermined first color (eg, black). As a result, it is possible to enhance the player's interest in obtaining the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus period.

In addition, in the sub-control board 73, in the case of the non-advantageous section, "---" is displayed at a predetermined second position for displaying the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 in the display screen of the liquid crystal display 27, and the advantageous section is displayed. In the case of the section, the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 is displayed at the predetermined second position, and when the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 is displayed at the predetermined second position, if the point is not in a high probability state (game If the count value of the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5 at the start of is "0"), it is displayed in a predetermined first color (for example, black), and if the point is high probability state (at the start of the game If the count value of the high point probability remaining game number counter CT5 is "1" or more, it is displayed in a predetermined second color (eg, red) different from the predetermined first color (eg, black). As a result, it is possible to enhance the player's interest in obtaining the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus period. However, even in the case of the advantageous section, for several games (for example, 3 games) after the power is turned on, "---" is displayed at the predetermined second position. For example, in game 3), it is possible to make it difficult to understand whether or not the setting has been changed. In addition, this production|presentation is suitably called "point notification production|presentation."

In addition, when the pseudo bonus section is activated using the display of the count value of the BNS start game number counter CT8 at the predetermined first position or the display of the count value of the BNS point counter CT6 at the predetermined second position For example, when a large benefit can be expected, it is displayed in a predetermined first color (eg, black), and when a large benefit is not expected, it is displayed in a predetermined first color (eg, black). It may be displayed in a predetermined second color (for example, red).

(12) Command transmission means 111
The command transmission means 111 in FIG. 4 transmits communication commands including various data from the main control board 63 to the sub-control board 73 in one way based on the commands created by the command creation means 110 .

(Sub control board)
Next, the sub-control board 73 will be described in detail. The sub-control board 73 receives communication commands transmitted from the main control board 63 and performs effects according to the operation and state of the main control board 63 . As shown in FIG. 4, the sub-control board 73 has various functions realized by executing programs stored in the memory 75 and various functions realized by hardware. Each unit in the sub-control board 73 in FIG. 4 is various functions realized by the sub-CPU 71 .

(1) Command receiving means 200
The command receiving means 200 in FIG. 4 receives communication commands including various data transmitted by the command transmitting means 111 of the main control board 63 . The command receiving means 200 receives a communication command transmitted from the main control board 63, and upon receiving the communication command, notifies each function provided in the sub-control board 73 according to the type of the communication command.

(2) Production content determination means 201
The effect content determining means 201 in FIG. 4 is for determining the effect content according to the communication command received by the command receiving means 200 . Specifically, the music played from the speakers 31L and 31R is determined, and the upper lamp portion 33 and the lower lamp are determined based on the performance pattern set in advance corresponding to the progress of the game, the result of the winning lottery lottery of the winning lottery means 103, and the like. An effect such as blinking the light sources of the parts 37L and 37R all at once or individually is determined.

For example, when the command receiving means 200 receives a command relating to the winning combination lottery result of the winning lottery winning means 103, the performance content determining means 201 determines one rendering from among the performance group corresponding to the winning winning lottery result as the execution rendering content. do. This group of effects includes effects that suggest the result of the lottery for the player. Further, the effect content determination means 201 determines the effect content that, when winning the pressing order AT combination during AT, the liquid crystal display 27 informs the correct pressing order that can obtain the maximum payout of medals. In addition, the effect content determination means 201 determines the above-mentioned number of games consumed notification effect and the above-mentioned point notification effect as the effect contents.

(3) Display control means 202
The display control means 202 in FIG. 4 blinks the light sources of the upper lamp part 33 and the lower lamp parts 37L and 37R all at once or individually based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination means 201. It is intended to execute the production such as.

(4) Voice control means 203
The sound control means 203 in FIG. 4 executes effects such as playing music from the speakers 31L and 31R and outputting voice based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determining means 201. is.

Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, the normal RT (NOM) is generated based on the fulfillment of the predetermined RBB termination condition in the bonus game state (RBB), and on the basis that the slot machine 1 enters the setting changeable state. controlled by Also, when it is decided to shift from a non-advantageous section to an advantageous section, if the game state is other than normal RT (NOM), such as inside the RBB (RBBF) at the time of transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section , the results of the AT challenge lottery, etc. are used in the game. On the other hand, if it is normal RT (NOM), the result of the AT challenge lottery etc. is initialized and "25" BNS points, which are less advantageous for the player than the AT challenge lottery etc., are awarded and the game is played. For this reason, in normal RT (NOM), benefits such as AT challenge lottery cannot be obtained when transitioning from a non-advantageous section to an advantageous section, so normal RT (NOM) that is set based on being in a setting changeable state can be prevented from becoming excessively advantageous for the player. In normal RT (NOM), a privilege of "25" BNS points is obtained when shifting from a non-advantageous section to an advantageous section, so the transition is made based on the establishment of a predetermined RBB end condition in the bonus game state (RBB). It is possible to avoid the penalty of eliminating the merit given to the player at normal RT (NOM) during the game.

In addition, in the case of winning the advantageous section transition lottery, the same process is performed first regardless of the game state, thereby reducing the development burden. By initializing the number of point games, etc., it is possible to prevent the data not used in the game from being stored as they are.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, BNS points that affect the number of games played in the pseudo-bonus section are obtained, but the present invention is not limited to this, and points that affect the initial number of games in the AT section are obtained. Alternatively, points may be earned that affect the stock of the special zone section when shifting to the advantageous section (AT).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the game state of the game next to the game in which the advantageous section is won is a game state other than normal RT (NOM) such as RBB inside (RBBF), the control to give a benefit to the player (hereinafter referred to as "first privilege provision control", which corresponds to "special control" of the present invention), the control of AT challenge lottery etc. (AT challenge lottery, ATC sign remaining game based on the result of AT challenge lottery Setting the number of games in the AT challenge precursor section "28" for the count value of the number counter CT3, and setting the number of games in the AT challenge section "4" for the count value of the ATC remaining game number counter CT4 based on the result of the AT challenge lottery. Control that gives the number of point games "64" and control that gives benefits to the player when the game state of the game next to the game in which the advantageous section is won is normal RT (NOM) (hereinafter referred to as " "Second privilege grant control" and corresponds to "specific control" of the present invention.) is the grant control of "25" BNS points, but is not limited to this, and the second privilege grant control is a control that is less advantageous to the player than the first privilege provision control, and may be, for example, as follows.

For example, the first privilege provision control may be a lottery with a possibility of winning the advantageous section (AT).

Further, the first privilege provision control is a lottery in which there is a possibility of winning an advantageous section (AT), and the second privilege provision control is a lottery in which there is no possibility of winning an advantageous section (AT). An AT challenge lottery may be used at the time of section transition.

In addition, as the pseudo-bonus game number lottery, for example, (1) "128 games: winning probability 20%", "256 games: winning probability 30%", "512 games: winning probability 50%", (2) "128 Games: Winning probability 35%”, “256 games: Winning probability 45%”, and “512 games: Winning probability 20%” are prepared, and the pseudo bonus game number lottery of (2) is used for the second privilege grant control. In this case, when the second privilege provision control is not performed, the control of (1) pseudo bonus game number lottery is performed.

In addition, as the pseudo-bonus game number lottery, for example, (1) "128 games: winning probability 20%", "256 games: winning probability 30%", "512 games: winning probability 50%", (2) "128 Games: Winning probability 35%”, “256 games: Winning probability 45%”, and “512 games: Winning probability 20%” are prepared. The second privilege provision control may be the control in which the pseudo bonus game number lottery of (1) is performed.

Further, CZ points are newly provided, and when the CZ points reach a specified value, the transition to the CZ1 to CZ3 section is selected or determined, and in this case, the second privilege provision control is performed as the second privilege provision control. The number of CZ points to be given may be increased in the case of winning a predetermined winning combination group compared to the case in which no is performed. Further, when CZ points are provided, the transition to the CZ1 to CZ3 section may be determined by lottery or determination when the predetermined value becomes 0. In this case, the second privilege granting control The CZ points given when winning a predetermined winning combination group may be subtracted more than when the control is not performed. Such a periodic lottery that determines CZ points can also be applied. Further, after the end of the advantageous section, the transition is made to the non-advantageous section, and based on the transition to the new advantageous section, the first privilege provision control may be started from the CZ related to the AT transition, but the setting change is performed. In this case, when the transition is made to the advantageous section through the non-advantageous section, the above-described period may be set to a shorter period as the second specific provision control.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the first game shifted to the advantageous section is a game in the bonus game state (RBB), the first game shifted to the advantageous section is a game inside the RBB (RBBF). Although the same control as in the case of (the same control as the N+1 game in FIG. 15 (II)) is performed, it is not limited to this, and different control ("part of the same control (including "does not control") may be performed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, for example, the number of games in the advantageous section, the number of games in the point high probability state, the number of games in the AT challenge precursor section, the number of games in the AT challenge section, etc. In order to make it possible to determine whether or not it has reached the predetermined number of games, the count value of the corresponding counter is set to the predetermined number of games, and then the count value is subtracted by 1, and when it becomes "0", the predetermined number of games is reached. However, it is not limited to this, and after setting the count value of the corresponding counter to "0", the count value is incremented by 1, and the count value reaches the predetermined number of games. It may be determined that the predetermined number of games has been reached by having played the game. Also, for example, in order to make it possible to determine whether or not the number of games played before shifting to the pseudo-bonus section has reached the respective predetermined number of games, the count value of the corresponding counter is set to "0" and then When the count value reaches the predetermined number of games by adding 1 to the count value, it is determined that the predetermined number of games has been reached. After setting the predetermined number of games, the count value is subtracted by 1, and when it becomes "0", it may be determined that the predetermined number of games has been reached.

In the above-described embodiment, the second effect is used as the effect corresponding to the AT challenge precursor section, and the third effect is used as the effect corresponding to the AT challenge section. If the AT challenge precursor section ends without winning the AT challenge section, or if the AT challenge section ends without winning the grant of AT stock in the AT challenge section, it will shift to the normal game section, but when it shifts to the normal game section may perform a first effect corresponding to the normal game section. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the first effect, and a fifth effect different from the first effect and corresponding to the normal game section may be performed.

Also, as the N-1th game in FIG. 15 (I), even if it is a non-advantageous section due to the setting change, even if it is a non-advantageous section due to the end of the pseudo bonus section / battle section (AT section), uniform , and the fourth effect (for example, the night background effect stage) is performed when the game state is inside RBB (RBBF) or normal RT ( NOM), whether it is an advantageous section or a non-advantageous section, whether it is a normal game section or an AT challenge precursor section, it will continue for a certain period of time, and after the certain period of time has passed, the above You may make it the 1st production|presentation or 5th production|presentation of. In addition, needless to say, at this time, if AT stock is won, the third effect may be executed in place of the fourth effect even before the lapse of a certain period of time.

A special effect, which is an effect performed only until the non-advantageous section shifts to the advantageous section, may be performed, and the player can be made to pay attention to the non-advantageous section by performing the special effect.

Further, the fourth effect may be performed even after the power is turned on without going through the setting changeable state. In this case also, by continuing the fourth effect for a certain period after turning on the power, it is possible to discriminate whether the power is turned on without going through the setting changeable state or through the setting changeable state. can make it harder to hit. It should be noted that even after the power is turned on without going through the setting changeable state, as a condition for the fourth effect, power failure during the normal game interval may be a condition, and power is turned on without going through the setting changeable state in the interval other than the normal game interval. After that, an effect corresponding to the section in which the power has been cut off may be performed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the game machine is a slot machine, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to other game machines such as a pachinko machine.

Further, the contents of the above-described embodiment, modifications, and the like can be appropriately combined.
