Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that is installed and used in a gaming hall such as a pachinko parlor.

  Conventionally, in a gaming machine, specifically, for example, a slot machine, a plurality of reels capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols, a start switch for starting a variably displayed reel symbol by a player's operation, and a plurality of reels A plurality of stop switches are provided corresponding to each of them, and a plurality of stop switches for individually stopping the change display of the symbols on the reels by the player's operation after the start of the change display of the symbols on the plurality of reels, and the progress and effect of the game A control device for controlling, and a notification means for notifying various information to the outside, the control device has a role lottery means for performing a lottery of winning or losing any of a plurality of roles, Based on the result of the lottery and the stop switch stop operation, the rotation of the reel is stopped, and whether or not the combination of symbols related to the winning combination is aligned on the effective line (that is, whether or not a prize has been won) A determination is made as to whether or), so that applies a predetermined benefit, depending on the result of the determination.

Conventional gaming machines include a normal game that is normally played as a game, and a privilege game that can give a player more benefits than the normal game. This special game can be transferred by winning a lottery (transition lottery) on whether or not to shift to the special game during the normal game.
As a combination, there are a small combination accompanied by paying out medals when winning a prize, and a re-playing combination that can start a game without requiring the insertion of a game medium for the next game when winning.

  As the bonus game, an RT (replay time) game in which the lottery probability of the re-gamer lottery is set higher than that of the normal game, or an AT that assists the player by making a predetermined notification to make it easier to win a prize (Assist time) games, ART (assist replay time) games that combine these, and bonus games (big bonus (BB) games, regular bonuses, etc.) in which the winning probability of a small role is generally set higher than normal games (RB) game) is provided.

  Here, as a conventional technique, a normal mode (normal game), a BB mode (BB game) as a special game, and an AT mode (AT game) as a special game are provided, and the number of games is counted in the normal mode. When the BB mode is won, there is an invention in which the AT mode is executed based on the AT mode stock number and the AT mode release magnification after the BB mode is completed and the BB mode is ended (Patent Document) 1). In this prior art, when the number of games in a normal game is counted and a BB game is won, the AT game after the end of the BB game is determined according to the counted number of games in the normal game. Specifically, as the number of games in the normal game before winning the BB game is increased, the AT game as a special game after the end of the BB game is preferentially given.

JP 2003-144616 A

In the above-described conventional invention, as the number of games in the normal game before winning the BB game is increased, the AT game as a privilege game after the end of the BB game is preferentially performed. The normal game after the game ends is not changed based on the number of games until the bonus game in the normal game before the bonus game is won. In other words, based on the number of games of a normal game until winning a bonus game (BB game or ART game), the content of the bonus game is affected even if it affects the content of the bonus game. It had no effect.
In the conventional technology as described above, the content of the bonus game only changes based on the number of games played in a normal game, and has already been performed with a conventional game machine. There has been a first problem that it is difficult to improve.

Furthermore, the game content (privilege) of the bonus game varies according to the number of games until the bonus game is won during the normal game, and the next bonus game is won in the normal game after the bonus game ends. It does not affect the ease of winning or winning, so-called fit.
As a player's feeling, there is no particular dissatisfaction when winning a transition lottery with a small number of games such as 100 games in a normal game, but when winning a transition lottery with a large number of games such as 700 games in a normal game. In the transition lottery of the next normal game after the end of the bonus game, the player wishes to win the transition lottery with a small number of games. In addition, if a transition lottery is won with a very large number of games, for example, exceeding 1000 games in a normal game, the transition lottery in the next regular game after the end of the bonus game was not easily won last time, so this time of course I think that it is appropriate to win the transition lottery with a small number of games. That is, in the previous normal game, it was difficult to win the transition lottery, so it would be difficult to win the transition lottery immediately in this normal game, and there is such a sense of expectation.

  In a conventional gaming machine, the result of the number of games (total number of games) until winning a bonus game in a normal game is the ease (difficulty) of shifting to a bonus game in a normal game after the bonus game ends. There is a second problem that the player cannot respond to the player's feelings as described above or the unexpected expectation of not winning.

  In the invention according to claim 1 of the present application, in view of the first problem, based on the number of games of the normal game until winning the bonus game, the bonus game of the next normal game after the bonus game is ended. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can affect the ease (difficulty) of the transition to the game, increase the fun, and make it an interesting game.

  In view of the second problem, the invention described in claim 2 of the present application responds to feelings and expectation when the player is stuck in addition to the object of the invention described in claim 1 described above. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can suppress dissatisfaction of the player and can adjust the profit amount of the player.

  In addition to the object of the invention described in claim 1 or 2, the invention described in claim 3 can increase the complexity of the game because the conditions for shifting to the bonus game are different, and the game is interesting. To provide a gaming machine that can be made into a thing, can relieve a player who has passed (digested) many games, and can be balanced as a whole in terms of giving profits With the goal.

  In addition to the object of the invention described in claim 2 or 3, the invention described in claim 4 gives a change to the monotonous gameability that the deeper the fit, the greater the profit, and immediately after the end of the privilege game. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of making it surprising that the profit can be increased when the fit is shallow.

  In addition to the object of the invention described in claim 1, 2, 3 or 4, the invention described in claim 5 is a case where a chance does not come without winning in the transition lottery executed based on the result of the role lottery. Even so, by digesting the predetermined number of games, a transition lottery based on the progress of the predetermined number of normal games will be executed, and a chance to shift to a special game will come, and monotonous gaming An object is to provide a gaming machine capable of giving a change.

  In addition to the object of the invention described in claim 5, the invention described in claim 6 can give a meaning as a privilege to the player who has won the game, and gives satisfaction to the player who has won the game. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can improve the game motivation.

  In addition to the object of the invention described in claim 6, the mode of the normal game after the end of the bonus game can adopt the mode in which the profit is maximized among the plurality of modes. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that has high performance and can give a large profit to a player.

  In addition to the object of the invention described in claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, the invention described in claim 8 prevents the game from becoming monotonous and makes it an unexpected game. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can increase the fun of the game.

  In addition to the object of the invention described in claim 8, the invention described in claim 9 can avoid the duplication of profits and can adjust the profit provision by balancing profits. An object is to provide a gaming machine.

(Claim 1)
The invention according to claim 1 includes a control device 100 for controlling a game, and as a game, a normal game that is a normal game, and a lottery to determine whether or not to shift during the normal game (hereinafter referred to as “transition lottery”). The gaming machine 10 is provided with a bonus game that can be transferred by winning a prize and can give more benefits than the normal game, and the normal game can be transferred to the bonus game. A plurality of modes in which the possibility of granting a profit to a player due to different characteristics is provided, and the control device 100 determines the number of games (hereinafter, referred to as the number of games until the transition lottery is won from a predetermined opportunity of the normal game) The game number counting means 190 that counts “the total number of games” and the mode of the normal game after the end of the award game when winning the lottery to the award game is selected from the plurality of modes. Either mode Mode determination means 200 that can be determined by lottery (specifically, mode type lottery), and the lottery probability (hereinafter referred to as “mode lottery”) of each mode used for the lottery (mode type lottery) of the mode determination means 200 A mode lottery table 210 stored based on the total number of games, and the mode lottery probability can be changed based on the total number of games by referring to the mode lottery table 210. The mode lottery table is set based on the total number of games that is set and executed in the mode determined by the mode determining means 200 and the lottery for the transition to the bonus game is won. When the mode of the base game after the end of the bonus game is determined by the lottery using the mode lottery probability stored in 210, the bonus game that can be transferred from the base game is determined. It is characterized by the possibility of changing skills.

  In the present invention, the mode determining means 200 determines, by lottery (mode type lottery), which mode of the plurality of modes is set as the normal game mode after the end of the bonus game. The mode lottery probability used for the lottery (mode type lottery) is stored in the mode lottery table 210 based on the total number of games. This mode lottery probability is set to be changeable based on the total number of games by referring to the mode lottery table 210.

  Based on the number of games until the winning lottery for a transition from a predetermined opportunity of normal games to a bonus game, the so-called total number of games, the mode of the normal game after the end of the bonus game is likely to give a profit to the player Are determined from a plurality of different modes. As a result, based on the total number of games, it is possible to select a predetermined mode from a plurality of modes in which the possibility of giving a profit to the player is different as the mode of the normal game after the bonus game is ended. Become.

  That is, the result of the number of games (total number of games) until winning a special game in the normal game is influenced and reflected (associated) with the possibility of transition to the special game in the next normal game after the end of the special game. As a result, it is possible to influence and reflect the possibility of granting profits to future players after the end of the bonus game. This increases the degree of freedom of design for future games after the award game transitioned from normal games has ended, compared with things that are not supported (associated) at all, Or it becomes possible to make it rich in interest, such as making the wave of a ball large.

Specifically, according to the present invention, it is possible to cause a gaming machine 10 that is adjusted so that fluctuations in profits are moderate, and gaming machines 10 that have significant fluctuations in profits.
For example, if a lottery game is passed in a normal game and then the transition lottery is won and the total number of games increases and the disadvantage of the player becomes large, the normal game after the award game is over to the player A mode lottery that increases the probability of mode lottery in a mode that increases the profitability of other modes compared to other modes, or that increases the possibility of transition to the next award game compared to other modes By setting the probability high, it is possible to set so that the possibility of giving a profit to the player is increased. As a result, it is possible to expect a transition to the next award game with a small number of games (becomes difficult to get into), respond to the player's feelings and expectations when he / she is stuck, and suppress the dissatisfaction of the player Is possible. Even if the total number of games increases for the player and the disadvantage becomes large, in the normal game after the end of the bonus game, the possibility of giving a profit to the player is large, and as a result, the fluctuation of the profit amount is moderate The profit amount of the player can be adjusted so that

  On the other hand, for example, in a case where a lottery number of games is not passed in a normal game and a transition lottery is won with a small number of games and the total number of games is reduced and the player's profit increases. Even in normal games after the award game ends, the possibility of giving profits to the player is further increased by setting the mode lottery probability in a mode that increases the possibility of transition to the award game. can do. In this way, it is possible to make the gaming machine 10 in which the player's profit increases dramatically in a very short time, and the wave of the profit amount that the player can acquire is very large.

Note that “Possibility of transition to privilege game is different” in “Multiple modes in which the possibility of giving benefits to players due to different possibility of transition to privilege game” is different from lottery for transition to privilege game The transition lottery probabilities are different in numerical value, the frequency at which the transition lottery is executed is different, or the chance that the transition lottery is executed within a short period of time, etc. included.
Furthermore, when a predetermined number of games is reached, a so-called ceiling is determined to shift to a special game, and the possibility of transfer of a special game varies depending on the predetermined number of games reaching the ceiling. Things are included. In addition, transition lottery for transitioning to a special game by reaching a predetermined number of games is performed, and there are also cases where the possibility of transition of a special game varies depending on the predetermined number of games It is.
Here, “the numerical values of the transition lottery probabilities themselves are different” specifically means that, for example, modes A, B, and C described later have different mode lottery probabilities, or first transition lotteries and second transitions described later. In the lottery, those having different mode lottery probabilities are included (for example, if the mode lottery probability becomes high, the possibility of transition to a bonus game increases).
In addition, the phrase “the frequency at which the transition lottery is executed” specifically means that, for example, the number of times the migration lottery is executed is different in modes A, B, and C, which will be described later, In the first transition lottery and the second transition lottery, there are those in which the type of winning combination that triggers each transition lottery is changed (for example, the bonus game as the number of winning combinations that trigger the first transition lottery increases) The possibility of transition to.
In addition, “the case where the opportunity for executing the transfer lottery is generated within a short period of time increases the possibility of transfer” means that the second transfer described later that can be executed based on the passage of a predetermined number of games in the normal game The lottery includes a game in which the predetermined number of games changes (for example, when the predetermined number of games in the second transition lottery decreases, the possibility of transition to a bonus game increases).
In addition, “the possibility of transfer of a bonus game differs depending on the number of predetermined games reaching the ceiling is different” means that the possibility of shifting to a bonus game is set by setting a mode in which the number of deepest release games described later is different. Different things are included (for example, the possibility of transition to a privilege game increases because the deepest release game number is small).

Here, the number of games of the normal game counted by the “game number counting means 190” may be used only for determining the mode, or may be used for another purpose other than determining the mode.
Here, the “mode lottery probability” is set for each mode in a plurality of modes, and is the probability that each mode is selected (set).

  In addition, the “determination” of “mode determination means 200 that can determine which mode is selected by lottery (mode type lottery)” is “determined to be performed only once after winning the transition lottery” In addition to “”, a “provisional decision” is included before winning the transfer lottery. Specifically, for example, when the normal game is digested to some extent, the mode is provisionally determined based on the number of games of the normal game at that time, and if the normal game is further advanced, the number of games of the normal game at that time again If the mode is tentatively determined based on the game and the normal game is further advanced, the mode is tentatively determined again based on the number of games of the normal game at that time. The mode may be determined based on the number of games of the normal game. In this way, it is possible to suggest a mode related to the next normal game based on the mode temporarily determined during the normal game.

  In addition, here, the “mode determining means 200” may determine the timing for determining the mode from when winning the transition lottery to the bonus game until starting the normal game after the bonus game. It is. In addition, if the timing for determining the mode is the timing (game) for winning the transition to the special game, the number-of-games counting means 190 will continue to count the number of games for normal games for other uses. However, since it is not necessary to separately store the number of games of the normal game when the transfer lottery is won, it is possible to eliminate the storage capacity and the like.

(Claim 2)
The invention described in claim 2 is characterized by the following points in addition to the features of the invention described in claim 1 described above. That is, the from the predetermined trigger until the total number of games, is classified into at least one mode selection section by a predetermined range of number of games, to the mode selection section is divided into a plurality of small sections by game number The mode determining means 200 has a special game (hereinafter referred to as “first game”) in the normal game (hereinafter referred to as “first normal game”) in the predetermined mode selection section having the plurality of small sections . In the case of winning the transition lottery to “the bonus game of“ Using the mode lottery probability that increases the possibility of transition to a special game (hereinafter referred to as a “second special game”), a normal game (hereinafter referred to as “second game” after the first special game is completed). Normal game ") The de and determinable, the control device 100, according to the determined mode by said mode determining means 200, and controls the second base game.

In the present invention, when the lottery to shift to the special game (first special game) is won in the normal game (first normal game) in the first mode selection section, the total number of games increases in the first mode selection section. By using the mode lottery probability, the smaller the number of games is, the smaller the section is (the more transition is made), the higher the possibility of transition from the first award game to the next award game (second award game) becomes. The mode for the normal game (second normal game) after the bonus game ends is determined.
In the second normal game, as the mode lottery probability of the lottery by the mode determining means 200, the probability that the possibility of shifting to the next privilege game (second privilege game) increases as the total number of games increases. This is advantageous for a player who performs the second normal game.

  The state in which the total number of games is increasing is a state in which the player does not immediately shift to the special game during the normal game, but is in a so-called entanglement state, and the disadvantage to the player is large. In such a state, the player's feeling is that, in the case of a normal game, if the transition lottery is won immediately without winning the transition lottery (that is, if the total number of games is large), after the bonus game ends In the transition lottery of the next normal game, I want you to win the transition lottery with a small number of games.

  That is, since it was not easy to win the transition lottery of the previous (first normal game), if the lottery is normally performed with a predetermined probability, this time (the second normal game) will naturally have a small number of games. I think we should win the transition lottery. And in the normal game of the previous (first normal game), since it became a state of being stuck in the transition lottery, it would be a problem if the transition lottery is not immediately won in the normal game of this time (second normal game). I have such a sense of expectation.

  As the total number of games in the first normal game increases and the number of games becomes smaller, the second normal game after the end of the first special game has a higher possibility of transition to the second special game. As a result, the possibility of giving a profit to the player is increased (at least not disadvantageous), and as a result, the profit amount to the player is calculated as the total number of games. It can be adjusted with the increase.

Thereby, it is possible to respond to feelings and feelings of expectation when the player is in a stuck state (a state in which the total number of games has increased), and it is possible to suppress dissatisfaction of the player.
Further, in the present invention, when the total number of games increases without winning the transition lottery for a long time in the previous normal game (first normal game), the next normal game ( In the second normal game), a mode lottery probability that is advantageous to the player (a mode lottery probability that increases the possibility of shifting to the next privilege game (second privilege game)) is used for the second. Since the normal game mode can be determined, it is possible to balance the entire game such as profits for the player over a long period of time.

  Further, in the present invention, when a large number of games are required in the first normal game in order to acquire the current special game (first special game) during the normal game, the next special game (second game) The number of games of the next normal game (second normal game) required to acquire the bonus game is likely to be reduced. For this reason, even if the first bonus game is completed by performing a large number of games in the first normal game (by making a lot of investment), the next bonus game (second bonus game) is used. The player can be motivated to continue to play the game. It is possible to give a willingness to continue the game to a person who intends to stop the game by the end of the privilege game.

  Here, using the mode lottery probability that, as the total number of games until winning the transition lottery increases and the smaller section has a larger number of games, the possibility of transition to the second privilege game increases. In order to be able to determine the mode of the second normal game, the mode lottery probability of a specific mode increases and becomes more advantageous to the player as the total number of games increases and the number of games becomes smaller. Including things. Specifically, for example, the mode lottery probability for a mode advantageous to the player (for example, heaven mode to be described later) is set higher as the total number of games increases and the number of games becomes smaller. Something like that is included.

Further, “from the predetermined opportunity to the total number of games is classified into at least one mode selection section according to a range of the predetermined number of games,” specifically, for example, the total number of games is, for example, This indicates the number of games from the game at which a predetermined trigger is started by the counting means 190 to the game won at the transition lottery.In other words, from the game at which the predetermined trigger is established, the transition lottery is won. A game section (period) up to the played game is classified into at least one mode selection section.
Here, the relationship between the “total number of games” and the “mode selection section” specifically includes, for example, the following.

  When the mode determination means 200 wins the transition lottery to the special game a in the normal game a in the predetermined mode selection section, the total number of games until the winning of the transition lottery increases and the small section has a large number of games. The mode of the normal game b after the end of the bonus game a is determined using the mode lottery probability that is set so that the possibility of transition to the next bonus game b is high. Such a case is included that controls the normal game b after the end of the bonus game a in accordance with the mode determined by the determining means 200.

In addition, here, “the mode lottery probability that is set so that the possibility of shifting to the second privilege game increases as the total number of games increases until winning the transition lottery and the number of games increases. ”Is set so that the mode lottery probability to the mode in which the profit to the player is maximized among the plurality of modes increases as the total number of games increases and the game shifts to a smaller section with more games. Includes mode lottery probabilities. When such a mode lottery probability is used, in the lottery in which the mode of the second normal game is determined as the total number of games increases and the number of games increases, the profit for the player out of a plurality of modes is increased. There is a high possibility that the maximum mode will be selected. That is, as the total number of games increases and the number of games becomes smaller, the second normal game mode is more likely to be adopted with the mode having the maximum profit, and the player can receive a larger profit. Can be given to the player, so that it is not disadvantageous to the player.
Here, the “small section” may be at least one game. That is, a game in which the mode lottery probability increases for each game with a total number of games is included. In such a case, the mode lottery probability may be stored in advance as data for each number of games. However, since the amount of data increases, an arithmetic expression that slightly increases the mode lottery probability for each number of games is calculated by the calculation means. In each case, the mode lottery probability may be determined.

(Claim 3)
The invention described in claim 3 is characterized by the following points in addition to the characteristics of the invention described in claim 1 or 2. That is, from the predetermined trigger to the total number of games is classified into a plurality of mode selection sections according to the range of the predetermined number of games, and the player in the last mode selection section of the mode selection section is compared with other modes. When the mode lottery probability of an advantageous mode is set lower than other mode selection sections and the total number of games reaches a predetermined threshold value, the transition to the privilege game is always determined. Then, the mode determination means 200 is changed to a special game (hereinafter referred to as “third special game”) in the normal game (hereinafter referred to as “third normal game”) in the last mode selection section. When it is decided to shift to the mode lottery probability, the possibility of shifting to the next award game of the third award game (hereinafter referred to as “fourth award game”) is lower than other mode selection sections. Using the third The mode of the normal game after the classic game (hereinafter referred to as “fourth normal game”) can be determined, and the control device 100 can determine the fourth mode according to the mode determined by the mode determination means 200. It is characterized by controlling normal games.

In the present invention, in the mode selection section excluding the last mode selection section, if the transition lottery is won, it is possible to shift to the privilege game, but if it is not winning, it is not possible to shift to the privilege game.
On the other hand, in the last mode selection section, when the total number of games reaches a predetermined threshold value, the transition to the privilege game is always determined.

  In multiple mode selection sections, there are cases where the transition is decided when the transition to the award game is won in the transition lottery and the transition is not decided unless it is won, and there is a case where it is decided to make a transition without fail. become. In this way, the conditions for shifting to the privilege game are different, and the complexity of the game can be increased. In addition, since it is more advantageous for the player to make a transition than winning the transition lottery as a condition for transitioning to the award game, it will be the last mode selection section so that such advantageous conditions can be obtained. It can be interesting. As a result, the complexity of the game can be increased and the game can be made interesting.

The fact that it is the last mode selection section means that a large number of games have passed (digested) and many normal games have been consumed (investment has been made) so far. Since the transition to the privilege game is always performed in the last mode selection section, such a player can be relieved and can be balanced as a whole in terms of giving a profit.
Here, “determination” of “definitely determined to shift to the award game” may be determined by performing a transfer lottery or may be determined without performing a transfer lottery. That is, the transition of the bonus game may be determined by executing the transition lottery by setting the lottery probability of the transition lottery to 100%, or the transition to the bonus game is always determined without performing the transition lottery. It may be made to do.

(Claim 4)
The invention described in claim 4 is characterized by the following points in addition to the characteristics of the invention described in claim 2 or 3. That is, in the first mode selection section when a plurality of mode selection sections are provided, the player is more advantageous to the player than the mode lottery probability set at the beginning of the mode selection section in which the mode lottery probability is started next. And a predetermined mode lottery probability is commonly used in the first mode selection section, and the mode determination means 200 is configured to use the normal game (hereinafter referred to as “fifth mode” in the first mode selection section). In the first mode selection section, the mode selection section to be started next is selected in the case of winning the lottery to shift to the special game (hereinafter referred to as “fifth special game”). Using a mode lottery probability that is more likely to be transferred to a bonus game next to the fifth bonus game (hereinafter referred to as “sixth bonus game”) than the mode lottery probability set first. The above The mode of the normal game after the completion of the 5 special games (hereinafter referred to as “sixth normal game”) can be determined, and the control device 100 can determine the mode according to the mode determined by the mode determination means 200. It is characterized by controlling 6 normal games.

  In the present invention, in the first mode selection section, the possibility of transition to the next privilege game (sixth privilege game) becomes higher than the mode lottery probability set at the beginning of the mode selection section to be started next. Since the mode of the sixth normal game can be determined using the mode lottery probability set as described above, the player is set to be more advantageous than the first mode selection section to be started next (preferential treatment). Have been). In other words, in a certain section (first mode selection section) immediately after the end of the bonus game, a mode that is relatively advantageous to the player is more easily selected by lottery than the beginning of the subsequent mode selection section.

In the present invention, the first mode selection section is relatively preferential, and the mode lottery probability is commonly used in the first mode selection section. Thereby, in the first mode selection section, a state advantageous to the player is likely to occur continuously.
Specifically, when a winning lottery for a special game (fifth special game) is won in the first mode selection section, a special game (fifth special game) is transferred at a short interval from the previous special game. It will be. Thereafter, the normal game (sixth normal game) after this special game (fifth special game) is ended is set to a mode in which the possibility of transition to the special game (sixth special game) is high. The possibility of shifting to a privilege game (sixth privilege game) at a relatively short interval increases. In this manner, once the lottery for the transition to the bonus game is won in the first mode selection section, the transition to the bonus game is likely to occur at a short interval (so-called consecutive resort can be expected). It is easy for a state that is advantageous to a person to occur continuously.
Also, in this first mode selection section, the mode lottery probability is commonly used, so even if winning at the beginning of the section, there is no difference in preferential treatment for the player and it is difficult to cause a disadvantageous state Become. For example, if it is set as a big profit that fits, a small profit if it doesn't fit, it becomes a small profit after winning at the beginning of the interval, and the player is cold treated However, such a state does not occur in the first mode selection section, and an advantageous state is stably generated.
As a result, the mode selection lottery immediately after the end of the award game can be made very effective regardless of the so-called fit. Simply make a change to the monotonous gameability that the deeper the fit, the greater the profit will be, and make it surprising that the profit can be increased when the fit immediately after the bonus game is shallow it can.
The “first mode selection section” according to claim 4 may be set to have a shorter length (number of games) than that of the “mode selection section” according to claim 2. As a result, it is possible to avoid an excessive profit for the player and to prevent the gambling from being necessary more than necessary, and also the risk that the game store side suffers an unnecessary loss.

(Claim 5)
The invention described in claim 5 is characterized by the following points in addition to the characteristics of the invention described in claim 1, 2, 3 or 4.

After the rotation of the rotary reel 62 is started, a predetermined condition (in this embodiment, a process of accelerating the rotary reel 62 is executed, and then a predetermined sensor detects that the rotational position of the rotary reel 62 is the reference position. Is established, the stop switch 50 can be operated (stop operation enabled state).
Thereafter, when one of the three stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 62 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. When all the three stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all three rotary reels 62 is stopped.

  At this time, when a combination of predetermined symbols 61 is arranged on the effective line 86, processing corresponding to the combination of symbols 61 is performed. The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is formed such that a profit is given to a player when a predetermined combination of symbols 61 is arranged on the active line 86. For example, when the combinations of symbols 61 corresponding to the small combination are arranged on the active line 86, the number of medals corresponding to the small combination is awarded to the player.

  In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as a gaming state, a normal state (which is a general game) and a bonus (CBB) are won by the role lottery means 120 in the normal state. Nevertheless, when the symbol 61 related to the bonus transition combination does not stop on the active line 86, in the RT1 state (CBB winning state) that shifts from the normal state, and in this RT1 state (CBB winning state) There is provided a bonus state (CBB state) in which the symbol 61 relating to the bonus transition combination is shifted when it stops on the active line 86 and the profit given to the player can be greater than the normal state (see FIG. 5). 4).

  Furthermore, a plurality of states having different lottery probabilities for the re-game combination (replay combination) are provided as the re-game combination (re-play combination) lottery states. As the gaming state, a replay time state (RT state) is set in which the probability of winning the re-playing role (replaying role) is set higher (or lower) than the game in the normal gaming state. This RT state is controlled by RT control means 170 having a main board.

  The bonus state is achieved when a bonus transition combination as a transition combination is selected and a combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination (for example, “blue 7, blue 7, BAR”) is aligned on the active line 86. It is a game that starts from the next game of the game. In addition, even if the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transitional combination is not prepared on the active line 86 in the game at the time of winning, the bonus transitional combination will correspond to the bonus transitional combination on the effective line 86 after the next game. The winning combination will remain valid until 61 combinations are available. Other combinations will be invalid after the next game if the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the combination is not available on the active line 86 in the game at the time of winning. The bonus state ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player during the bonus state exceeds a preset number.

  In the present embodiment, a challenge bonus state (CBB state) mainly controlled by the main controller 110 is provided as a bonus state. The challenge bonus state facilitates winning of a small role by placing all the small roles in a winning state. It should be noted that during the challenge bonus state, the stop is stopped within 75 ms from the time of operation of the stop switch 50 in a predetermined case, and the so-called number of sliding symbols is smaller than that in the normal state. Specifically, in the challenge bonus state according to the present embodiment, the right rotating reel 68 has the symbol 61 at the display position at the timing when the right stop switch R is stopped, and one frame above the symbol 61. This is a so-called “single frame slide” state that can be stopped within the range of two frames with the symbol 61. The challenge bonus state according to the present embodiment ends with a payout number exceeding 28. Of course, this end condition is not limited to 28 sheets, and other sheets may be used.

  In addition, when the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the re-playing role (replaying role) is arranged on the active line 86, the medal is not paid out, but the bet number is automatically used in the next game without using the medal owned by the player. Can be set and played.

  The role lottery means 120 is a means provided in the main control device 110, and is for performing a lottery (role lottery) of winning or losing a plurality of roles in response to an operation of the start switch 40. . The role lottery means 120 has a lottery table for determining whether or not a winning combination is won for each of a normal state, a bonus state (CBB state), and an RT1 state (CBB winning state). Correspondingly, a plurality are provided and stored in the ROM of the main controller 110. The role lottery means 120 compares a predetermined lottery data with a random number extracted from random numbers generated by a predetermined random number generator (random number generator circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values within a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not it is won. The processing by the combination lottery means 120 is performed in step 113 (see FIG. 9) described later.

  It should be noted that the lottery probability used for the role lottery of the role lottery means 120 is configured to be changeable by the manager of the game hall within a pre-programmed range. Specifically, a plurality of setting values (specifically, by operating a setting change switch (not shown) in the housing 12 for changing a setting value that is a value for defining the lottery probability) Can change the lottery probability by selecting any one of 1 to 6). In the present embodiment, six set values 1 to 6 are provided, and the lottery probability is defined to be advantageous to the player in principle as the set value increases.

The reel control means 130 is a means provided in the main control device 110, and is for stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 62. The reel control means 130 stops the rotation of each rotary reel 62 based on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 120 and the rotation position of the corresponding rotary reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. Note that the reel control means 130 may set a condition for stopping whether or not the order (stop operation order) when each stop switch 50 is operated to stop meets a predetermined condition as necessary. The processing by the reel control means 130 is performed in step 114 (see FIG. 9) described later.
Further, the reel control means 130 can execute a predetermined reel effect in a so-called freeze state in which the progress of the game is stopped.

  The stop symbol determination means 150 is a means provided in the main controller 110, and stores the combination of symbols 61 on the effective line 86 when all the rotary reels 62 are stopped, and determines a winning or the like. is there. The processing by the stop symbol determination means 150 is performed in step 115 (see FIG. 9) described later.

The normal game control means 160 controls the progress of the normal game. Here, the normal game means a replay time (RT) by the RT control means 170 described later and a game state other than the CBB by the bonus game control means 180. Note that the winning probability of the re-gamer during the normal game is set lower than the replay time (RT) state.
Here, the normal game is provided with a plurality of modes in which the possibility of giving a profit to the player differs depending on the possibility of transition to the privilege game (ART game). This mode is set so that when a predetermined number of games (hereinafter referred to as “the deepest release game number”) is reached, a transition is made to a bonus game (ART game). The number of deepest release games is called a so-called ceiling, and since the number of deepest release games is set to a different value in each mode, there is a possibility of shifting to a privilege game (ART game) depending on each mode. It is set differently. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the modes include mode A (the deepest release game number 1200 times), mode B (the deepest release game number 800 times), mode C (the deepest release number) each having a different number of deepest release games. There are four types of modes: 100 games) and mode D (1000 deepest release games) (see FIG. 7). The number of types of modes is not limited to this, and may be any number, and may be two or three, or may be set to five or more types. The contents of these modes will be described later in detail.

  Also, in this normal game, a plurality of mode selections are made depending on the range of the predetermined number of games from a predetermined opportunity (specifically, the end of the bonus game) to the number of games (total number of games) until winning the transition lottery It is classified into sections. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the plurality of mode selection sections are composed of a first mode selection section, a second mode selection section, and a third mode selection section (see FIG. 6). . Although this mode selection section is classified into three, it is not particularly limited to this, and it is sufficient that at least one mode selection section exists. This mode selection section is possible even with one game. The contents of these mode selection sections will be described in detail later.

In the present embodiment, the RT control means 170 controls the replay time (RT) state.
The bonus game control means 180 controls the bonus game, specifically, the CBB state.
The number-of-games counting means 190 counts the number of games (total number of games) from a predetermined trigger of a normal game until winning the transition lottery. Here, the “predetermined opportunity” is the end of the bonus game (ART game), and the number of games is counted from the normal game that starts after the bonus game ends. Note that the number of games of the normal game counted by the number-of-games counting means 190 may be used for other purposes other than determining the mode.
The number of games (total number of games) counted by the number-of-games counting means 190 is set so as not to be counted without including the number of games in the penalty state described later. Good.
When the mode is determined by the mode determining means 200 during the normal game, the game number counting means 190 stops counting the number of games after the mode is determined during the normal game.

The mode determining means 200 draws the mode of the normal game after the end of the bonus game (ART game) in the case of winning the lottery to shift to the bonus game (ART game) among a plurality of modes ( It can be determined by mode type lottery). Then, the normal game after the end of the privilege game (ART game) is executed by the control device 100 in the mode determined by the mode determining means 200.
Note that the lottery probability of each mode used for the mode type lottery of the mode determining means 200 is stored in the mode lottery table 210 described later as “mode lottery probability”.

  The mode determining means 200 determines the mode of the normal game after the end of the bonus game in the mode type lottery using the mode lottery probability stored in the mode lottery table 210 based on the total number of games when winning the lottery to transition to the bonus game. decide. For this reason, it is formed so that the transfer possibility of the next privilege game that can be transferred from this normal game can be changed.

  Here, to change the possibility of transfer of the bonus game that can be transferred from the normal game, specifically, the deepest release game number is set to 100 times in a plurality of modes (A, B, C). This means that the lottery probability of mode C (heaven mode) that is most advantageous to the player is set based on the total number of games. Specifically, the mode C transition lottery probability is changed for each predetermined range of the total number of games. Of course, changing the possibility of transfer of bonus games is not limited to this, and may include changes in the transition lottery probability of other modes, and changes in the transition lottery probability of multiple modes. May be included.

  Specifically, when the mode determination means 200 wins the transition lottery to the special game (first special game) in the normal game (first normal game) in the first mode selection section, the mode determination means 200 wins this transition lottery. It is set so that the possibility of shifting to the next award game (second award game) of the first award game increases as the total number of games until the number of games increases and the number of games becomes smaller. Using the mode lottery probability, it is possible to determine the mode of the normal game (second normal game) after the end of the first privilege game. Then, the control device 100 controls the second normal game according to the mode determined by the mode determining means 200.

  Further, the mode determining means 200 is configured to provide a special game (third special game) in the normal game (third normal game) in the last mode selection section (specifically, the third mode selection section, see FIG. 6). If it is decided to shift to, the possibility of shifting to the next privilege game (fourth privilege game) of the third privilege game rather than other mode selection segments (first mode selection segment and second mode selection segment) The mode of the normal game (fourth normal game) after the end of the third privilege game can be determined using the mode lottery probability set so as to be low. Then, the control device 100 controls the fourth normal game according to the mode determined by the mode determining means 200.

  In addition, the mode determination means 200 is a special game (fifth special game) in the normal game (fifth normal game) in the first mode selection section (specifically, the second mode selection section, see FIG. 6). In the case of winning the lottery transition to the first mode selection section (first mode selection section, see FIG. 6), the first mode selection section to be started next (specifically, the first mode selection section) The mode lottery probability set so that the possibility of transition to the next privilege game (sixth privilege game) of the fifth privilege game is higher than the mode lottery probability set to The mode of the normal game (sixth normal game) after the end of the special game can be determined. Then, the control device 100 controls the sixth normal game according to the mode determined by the mode determining means 200.

The mode lottery table 210 stores the lottery probabilities (mode lottery probabilities) of each mode used for the mode type lottery of the mode determining means 200 based on the total number of games (see FIG. 8).
In the first mode selection section (second mode selection section), the player is more advantageous than the mode lottery probability set first in the mode selection section (first mode selection section) in which the mode lottery probability starts next. In the first mode selection section (second mode selection section), a predetermined mode lottery probability is commonly used.

  Specifically, the transition lottery probability of the mode C that is most advantageous to the player with the deepest release game count set to 100 is set to 60% in the second mode selection section, and the first mode to be started next It is set to be more advantageous to the player than 40% of the mode lottery probability set at the beginning of the selected section, and this mode C mode lottery probability is commonly used at 60% in the second mode selected section. (See FIG. 8).

  In the first mode selection section to be started next, the possibility of transition to the next special game (second special game) increases as the total number of games increases until winning the transition lottery and the number of games increases. Is set to be high. Specifically, when the preset range of the total number of games increases as 101-200, 201-300, 301-500, 501-800, 801-1200, it is most advantageous for the player in all modes. The mode C transition lottery probability is set to be 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, and 90% in order (see FIG. 8).

  Next, in the last mode selection section (third mode selection section) of the mode selection section, the mode lottery probability of mode C, which is advantageous to the player compared with other modes, is set to 0%. The mode lottery probability of the selected section (first mode selection section, second mode selection section) is set lower than 40 to 90%, and the total number of games is set to a predetermined threshold value (specifically, 1201 times). It is set so that the transition to the privilege game is always determined when it is reached (see FIG. 8).

  The state transition means 240 performs transition of each state of a first state (normal state during ART), a second state (a sign state of an extra effect during ART), and a third state (addition effect state during an ART) during the bonus game. It is for the purpose.

In the bonus game (ART), when any of the additional effects is determined to be executed, the additional effects can be acquired.
Specifically, the state transition means 240 shifts to the second state when the execution of the extra effect is determined in the first state, and shifts to the third state after the end of the second state.
The state transition means 240 transitions to the first state when the right to add the performance is not left after the end of the third state.

The state transition means 240 makes the transition to the second state as long as the right of the additional effect remains after the end of the third state, transitions to the third state after the end of the second state, and after the end of the third state. A similar loop process is set to be repeated based on the remaining number of additional presentation rights.
The reel effect execution means 245 is for executing a reel effect as an extra effect by the rotating reel 62 operating as the effect device 70. This reel effect execution means 245 executes the reel effect of the extra effect.

The payout control means 250 is for performing predetermined processing such as medal payout based on the determination result of the stop symbol determination means 150. The payout control means 250 pays out medals when it is determined that the small role is winning as a result of the determination by the stop symbol determining means 150.
The transfer lottery means 330 determines whether to shift to the ART state by lottery (transfer lottery). The transition lottery means 330 can execute a first transition lottery that can be executed based on the result of the part lottery by the part lottery means 120 and a second transition lottery that can be executed based on the passage of a predetermined number of games in the normal game. It is. The first transfer lottery is a transfer lottery performed when a predetermined specific combination is won as a result of the combination lottery of the combination lottery means 120. In the present embodiment, the second transition lottery is set to be performed every time the number of games is 100. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and a predetermined number of games (100 times, 200 times, (300 times, 500 times, 800 times) or the like, or may be set to be executed every 50 or 20 times so as to be executed more frequently.

In addition to the above, the second transition lottery determines the number of games selected by lottery from a lottery table of a predetermined number of games after executing the second transition lottery or after the bonus game is completed. The second transition lottery may be executed when the number of games determined in the lottery has elapsed. The number-of-games lottery table here may be provided in advance so that the number of games corresponding to a plurality of modes (mode A, mode B, mode C) is selected. In this case, the number of games corresponding to the normal game mode corresponding to the timing for setting the number of games is set.
Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the lottery probability of the 2nd transfer lottery is set to the fixed lottery probability, it is not specifically limited to this. For example, a second transition lottery table that defines the lottery probability of the second transition lottery may be provided, and the second transition lottery may be executed with reference to the lottery probability of the second transition lottery table. The second transition lottery table at this time is set so that the lottery probabilities are different for each mode, so that the lottery result of the second transition lottery depends on the mode type set in the normal game at that time ( Can influence).
The transmission means 260 is for transmitting a signal to the sub-control device 300.

The sub-control device 300 includes a receiving unit 310 and an ART control unit 320. The ART control means 320 has each means of a display effect execution means 370 and an end determination means 380.
The receiving unit 310 receives a signal from the transmitting unit 260.
The ART control means 320 controls the effect state in the ART state. Specifically, the ART control means 320 includes a display effect execution means 370 and an end determination means 380.

The display effect executing means 370 is for executing a display effect performed by the display device 84.
The end determination means 380 determines whether or not the end condition of the ART state is satisfied, and ends the ART state when the end condition is satisfied. The determination of the end of the ART state is not particularly shown, but is performed separately from the flowchart described later, and is forcibly terminated when the end condition of the ART state is satisfied. The end condition of the ART state is set when a predetermined number of games are completed, when a predetermined stop operation order is not followed, or when a predetermined combination is won. Of course, the termination conditions are not limited to these.

Note that these means may be arranged in the main control apparatus 110, and the display effect execution means 370 and the end determination means 380 may be arranged in the main control apparatus 110 instead of the sub control apparatus 300.
With the above configuration, the sub control device 300 receives a signal from the main control device 110 and performs an effect accompanying the progress of the game.

As shown in FIG. 4, the transition states in the main controller 110 include a normal state, an RT1 state (CBB winning state), and a bonus state (CBB state).
The normal state is a game state in which a normal game controlled by the normal game control means 160 is performed. When the bonus (CBB) is won by the role lottery by the role lottery means 120 in the normal state, the normal state is shifted to the RT1 state (CBB winning state). In the RT1 state (CBB winning state), the replay time state (RT state) has a higher replay lottery probability than the normal state.

  In the present embodiment, the bonus (CBB) is set to be won within a few games during the normal state, and the gaming state seems to have a high ratio of being played in the RT1 state (CBB winning state). Is set to

The RT state in this RT1 state (CBB winning state) is a gaming state in which a re-game controlled by the RT control means 170 is won with high probability. In the RT state, when the combination of symbols 61 (blue 7, blue 7, BAR) of the CBB bonus transition combination is prepared, the CBB winning state, so-called RT state, shifts to the bonus state (CBB state). This bonus state (CBB state) is controlled by the bonus game control means 180.
In the bonus state (CBB state), when a predetermined number, for example, 28 pieces are paid out, the CBB state is shifted to the normal state.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the transition state during the bonus game (ART) includes the normal state during ART as the first state, the sign state of the added effect during ART as the second state, and the ART as the third state. Three types are provided: a medium-up stage production state.

In the normal state during the ART as the first state, if the result of the winning lottery, winning the predetermined role, etc., as a result of the winning effect acquisition lottery process, winning is determined and execution of the adding effect is determined. Further, it is possible to shift to the second state and the third state, and it is possible to acquire an additional effect.
Note that the bonus game (ART) is not specifically shown, but is set to end when a predetermined end condition such as the passage of a predetermined number of games is achieved.
In the third stage of the additional stage effect during ART, the additional stage effect is executed. In the precursor state of the additional effect during the ART in the second state, the precursor effect suggesting execution of the additional effect in the third state can be executed.

In any of the first state, the second state, and the third state, it is possible to acquire the right to execute the additional effect, and to count the number of rights to execute the additional effect.
Transition to the third state after the end of the second state, transition to the first state by satisfying a predetermined condition after the end of the third state, and return to the second state by satisfying other conditions. After the end of the two states, there is a case where the same loop process is repeated after the transition to the third state.

  In any state, the bonus game (ART) is configured to be terminated when a predetermined termination condition for the bonus game (ART) is satisfied, but the timing of termination is not necessarily limited to this. It is not something. For example, when an end condition is satisfied, an award game (ART) ends immediately in the first state, and in the second state and the third state, the award game (ART) ends after the end of the third state. Also good.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the number of games from the normal game after a predetermined opportunity (specifically, the end of the bonus game (ART)) until the next transition lottery is won. That is, up to the total number of games, three mode selection sections (a first mode selection section, a second mode selection section, and a third mode selection section) are provided. Of these three mode selection sections, the first mode selection section is set to 101 to 1200 games, the second mode selection section is set to 1 to 100 games, and the third mode selection section is 1201 games. It is set only for one game. The third mode selection section is only one game whose length is 1201 times, but is not limited to this, and may be set to a plurality of games.

In FIG. 6, the upper horizontal bar graph (band graph) shows the number of games, the vertical axis of the middle columnar graph is the data value of the mode C lottery probability (see FIG. 8), and the horizontal axis is the range of the number of games. In the lower bar graph (band graph), the mode selection section corresponding to the range of the number of games is shown (the same applies to FIGS. 12, 16, 18, 20, and 26).
In FIG. 6, when the set value is 3, the mode lottery probability of mode C indicates that the first small section of the first mode selection section (the number of games 101 to 101) is more than the second mode selection section of 1 to 100 games. 300 times) is set low. The mode lottery probability of mode C is set so as to gradually increase in the first mode selection section. The mode lottery probability of mode C is set to 0 in the third mode selection section (the number of games 1201) (see FIG. 8).

As shown in FIG. 7, in the present embodiment, four types of modes (mode A, mode B, mode C, mode D) in which different deepest release games are set are provided.
Mode A is called “Hamari mode”, which is the deepest mode in which the deepest release game count is set to 1200 times, and can be set by mode type lottery of mode determining means 200 in the normal gaming state. Is.

In mode B, the deepest release game number is set to 800 times, and the mode is not so much as mode A, but is called “hamari mode”. It can be set by lottery.
Mode C is a mode in which the number of deepest release games is set to 100 and is easy to win (win) (not easily humorous), so-called “heaven mode”. It can be set by mode type lottery.

  Mode D is a mode in which the deepest release game count is set to 1000 times, and the depth of the game is deep in the middle between Mode A and Mode B, and is set when the setting value (1-6) is changed. This is a so-called “setting change mode”. In addition, this setting change is a setting value (1 to 1) for the hall manager of the gaming hall in which the gaming machine 10 is installed to change the lottery probability of the role lottery by operating the setting change switch inside the housing 12. 6) is changed. Further, the mode D is set when the setting is changed as described above. However, in addition to the setting change, the mode D may be set to the setting change mode at the end of the privilege game (ART). is there.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the first mode selection section of the present embodiment has a range of 101 to 1200 times of normal games, and is won in the lottery to shift to a special game (ART) within the section. In such a case, the mode lottery probability is set so that the possibility of shifting to the next bonus game of the bonus game increases as the total number of games up to winning the transition lottery increases and the number of games becomes smaller. Has been.

In this first mode selection section, the next normal game mode can be given preferential treatment to the player (specifically, the player who performs the next normal game) according to the winning timing (that is, the amount that was actually addicted) It is the range which becomes.
The first mode selection section is set to a longer range (101 to 1200 times) than the other mode selection sections, and depends on a plurality of ranges (depth levels such as 101 to 200 times and 201 to 300 times). The mode drawing probability of the mode becomes more advantageous (preferred) to the player as the range becomes deeper.

  Specifically, the first mode selection section is 101 to 200 times (total of 100 times), 201 to 300 times (total of 100 times), 301 to 500 times (total of 200 times), and 501 to 800 times (total of 300 times). ), Five game frequency ranges (small sections) of 801 to 1200 times (total of 400 times) are provided. For example, the mode lottery probability of the mode C (heaven mode) that is most advantageous to the player among a plurality of modes is 50% of the game frequency range 201 to 300 times, rather than 40% of the game frequency range 101 to 200 times. Is more likely. In the first mode selection section, mode C (heaven mode) is more easily adopted in the next 100 game number range than in the first 100 game number range, which is advantageous to the player, and the player Has been given preferential treatment. Similarly, the mode lottery probability of mode C is set to 60% of the game frequency range 301 to 500 times with a higher probability than 50% of the game frequency range 201 to 300 times, and the game frequency range 301 to 500 times. 70% of the game frequency range 501 to 800 times is set with a higher probability than 60% of the game, and 90% of the game frequency range 801 to 1200 times is set to 70% of the game frequency range 501 to 800 times. Is set to a high probability. The mode lottery probability of mode C (heaven mode) increases as the number of games increases, and the game is set to be advantageous to the player.

  Accordingly, in the first mode selection section, the so-called ceiling (the deepest release game count) is set to 1200 game counts, and the mode lottery probability of the mode A which is a disadvantageous mode for the player is the game count. It is set so as to be advantageous to the player as it shifts to a range (small section) with a large amount of money and decreases to 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, and 0%.

  Accordingly, in the first mode selection section, the so-called ceiling (the deepest release game count) is set to 800 game counts, and the mode lottery probability of mode B, which is a disadvantageous mode for the player, is the game count. It is set so as to be advantageous to the player as it shifts to a range (small section) with a large amount of money and decreases to 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%.

In other words, the first mode selection section is set to be more advantageous to the player as it shifts to a range (small section) where the number of games is large (ie, the more the player gets hooked).
In the first mode selection section of the present embodiment, the mode lottery probabilities are all different for each range (101 to 200 times, 201 to 300 times, etc.) of the number of games as a small section, but this is not limitative. Instead, a common mode lottery probability may be set for different game frequency ranges.
In the present embodiment, in the first mode selection section, the number of games when staying in the second mode selection section is also counted by the game number counting means 190 as the number of games of the normal game (see FIG. 8). ), And is reflected (influenced) on the mode lottery probability. That is, the count of the number of games by the game number counting means 190 counts the number of games of the normal game across different mode selection sections. However, the counting of the number of games by the game number counting means 190 is not necessarily limited to this. For example, in the first mode selection section, the number of games in the second mode selection section may not be counted.

In the second mode selection section of the present embodiment, the number of normal games is in the range of 1 to 100 times. Within the section, the common mode lottery probability is used regardless of the timing for winning the bonus game (ART) transfer lottery. The second mode selection section has a game count of 100 and is shorter than the first mode selection section (the same length as 100 games in the first range 101 to 200 of the first mode selection section). Is set to In this second mode selection section, the player (in detail, the normal game after the bonus game won in the transition lottery) with respect to the mode lottery probability than the first range (101 to 200 times) in the first mode selection section. It is set to be advantageous (preferred) for the player who performs the game. That is, the range of the second mode selection section (1 to 100 times, the number of games 100 times) is the same number of games 100 times as the first range (101 to 200 times, the number of games 100 times) in the first mode selection section. The mode lottery probability of mode C set in the first range (101 to 200 times) in the first mode selection section is 40%, while the mode lottery probability of mode C set in the section is 60%. % Is set (see FIG. 8).
In the present embodiment, the lottery probability (20%, 20%) of mode A and mode B set in the second mode selection section is set to the first range (small section) of the first mode selection section. Mode A and mode B are set at a lower probability than the lottery probability (30%, 30%). In the second mode selection section, the mode A and the mode are less than the first section (small section) of the first mode selection section. B is difficult to be determined and is advantageous to the player (preferred).
In the present embodiment, the lottery probability (60%) of mode C set in the second mode selection section is the lottery probability of mode C set in the last range (small section) of the first mode selection section. The probability is set lower than (90%). The lottery probabilities (20% and 20%) of mode A and mode B set in the second mode selection section are the mode A and mode B set in the last range (small section) of the first mode selection section. Higher than the lottery probability (0%, 10%).
That is, in the present embodiment, the “degree of preferential treatment for the player” in the second mode selection section is the “degree of preferential treatment for the player” in the first small section (when the degree of humiliation is low) in the first mode selection section. And “the degree of preferential treatment for the player” in the last small section of the first mode selection section (when the degree of humiliation is high).

In the third mode selection section of the present embodiment, the number of games of the normal game is 1201, that is, a game range of one game (one game), and the winning lottery of the privilege game (ART) in the section is won. Regardless of whether or not there is, the next normal game mode is selected by lottery at the end of the section. Note that “the mode of the next normal game is selected by lottery by the end of the section” means that the mode is selected by the mode type lottery of the mode determining means 200 before the section is ended. In the case of the present embodiment, since the third mode selection section is one game, the start of the section is also the end of the section, and the mode type lottery of the mode determination means 200 is triggered by the 1201st game start. The mode is selected by.
In the third mode selection section, the next normal game mode is more disadvantageous (cooled) than the other mode selection sections (first mode selection section and second mode selection section). Is set to That is, the lowest mode lottery probability of mode C in the first mode selection section is 40% and the lowest mode lottery probability of mode C in the second mode selection section is 60%, whereas it is set in the third mode selection section. The mode lottery probability of the mode C to be executed is set to 0%.

The third mode selection section of the present embodiment is more disadvantageous to the player than other mode selection sections with respect to the mode lottery probability (cold treatment), but on the other hand, when entering the mode section , A privilege that the transition to the privilege game (ART) is confirmed is granted.
In the present embodiment, the mode determining means 200 refers to the mode lottery table 210 provided in advance when the bonus game (ART) transition lottery in the normal game is won, and the normal game after the bonus game ends. A lottery to determine which mode among the plurality of modes is to be executed is executed, and the mode corresponding to the lottery result is set as the next normal game mode.

  Here, the mode lottery table 210 of the present embodiment is a lottery table provided in accordance with the set values (six levels) (FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 are the mode lottery tables 210 in the case of the set value 3), respectively. The mode lottery table 210 stores a plurality of mode selection sections and mode lottery probabilities for each mode in association with each other. The second and third mode selection sections use the same mode lottery probabilities within the game frequency range of each section, and the mode “preferential treatment” is a special game (ART in the game frequency range of each section). ) Is not affected by the timing of winning the lottery.

  In the first mode selection section, the degree of preferential treatment based on the mode lottery probability differs in a plurality of game frequency ranges (five ranges (small sections)), and the mode lottery probability is in each of the plurality of ranges (small sections). Is set. 6 and 8 are created based on the numerical value in the case of the setting value 3, but even in the case of other setting values, the numerical value itself is slightly different as described above. All trends are set to be the same. The numerical value itself is set to be more advantageous to the player as the numerical value increases from the setting value 1 to 6.

  In the present embodiment, a mode set at the time of setting change (so-called setting change mode) is predetermined as “mode D” (see FIG. 7). In addition to this, a mode lottery table 210 defining the mode lottery probability may be provided.

  In the present embodiment, the mode in the normal game after the end of the bonus game is determined at the timing (game) won in the lottery for transition to the bonus game (ART). The mode of the normal game after the end of the award game is determined at any timing in the state in which the transition to the award game (ART) is confirmed, such as during the warning game (ART) or at the start of the award game (ART) game May be. In other words, if the count of the number of games of the normal game counted as “Humari” is stored, the mode of the normal game after the end of this special game after winning the special game (ART) transition lottery is determined. Even if the lottery is executed, it can be made “according to the hamari”.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, a general game control process executed by the main controller 110 for each game will be described.
In step 112, the main controller 110 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main controller 110 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Thereafter, the process proceeds to the next step 113. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step 112 is again performed.

  As a premise of this step 112, a betting number setting process is performed. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main controller 110 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a specified number of bets (2 or 3).

  In step 113, the role lottery means 120 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the winning lottery is transmitted from the main control device 110 to the sub-control device 300. When the combination lottery process ends, the process proceeds to the next step 114.

In step 114, rotation variation processing of the rotary reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotation reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, when the main controller 110 operates the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotation reel 62 that is rotating, the reel control means 130 causes the rotation reel 62 to The rotation is stopped. The stop operation order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed in the main control device 110. Then, it is read out in the subsequent processing.
Further, after all stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the transmission unit 260 of the main control device 110 to the reception unit 310 of the sub control device 300. Then, when the rotation variation process for all the rotary reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step 115.

In step 115, the stop symbol determination means 150 performs a determination process such as winning a prize as to whether or not a combination of symbols 61 of a predetermined role is aligned with a combination of symbols 61 on the active line 86. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control device 110 to the sub-control device 300. Then, when the determination process ends, the process proceeds to the next step 116.
In step 116, the payout control means 250 performs a payout process corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determining means 150. Note that if the result of the determination is that payout is not required, payout processing is not performed. Then, the process ends.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 10, the mode selection process performed by the main controller 110 will be described.
First, in step 210, it is determined whether or not it is a setting change time when a setting change switch (not shown) or the like inside the housing 12 is operated. If it is determined that the setting is being changed, the process proceeds to the next step 211. If it is determined that the setting is not being changed, the process proceeds to step 213.
In step 211, a normal game mode reset process is performed. Specifically, the normal game mode is set to mode D which is a setting change mode. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 212.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 210 that the setting is not changed, it is determined in step 213 whether or not the first transition lottery has been won. The first transfer lottery is a transfer lottery that can be executed based on the result of the role lottery of the role lottery means 120. If it is determined that the first transfer lottery has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 214. If it is determined that the first transfer lottery has not been won, the process proceeds to step 215.
In step 214, a mode type lottery process is executed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 212.

If the first transfer lottery has not been won in step 213, it is determined in step 215 whether or not the second transfer lottery has been won. In addition, this 2nd transfer lottery is a transfer lottery which can be performed based on progress of the predetermined | prescribed number of games of a normal game. And when it determines with having won the 2nd transfer lottery, it progresses to the following step 216, and when it determines with not having won the 2nd transfer lottery, the said process is complete | finished.
In step 216, a mode type lottery process is executed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 212.

In step 212, the mode determined by the mode reset process or the mode type lottery process is set to the next normal game mode. Then, the process ends.
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 11, the mode type lottery process performed by the mode determining means 200 will be described.

First, in step 250, the mode determining means 200 acquires the total number of games counted by the game number counting means 190. Specifically, when it is determined that the mode type lottery process has won the first transition lottery (YES in step 213) or when it is determined that the second transition lottery has been won (YES in step 215). Therefore, the mode determination means 200 counts until the game number counting means 190 wins the transition lottery (the first transition lottery or the second transition lottery) from the normal game started after the end of the previous privilege game. Get the number of played games. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 251.
In step 251, the mode determining means 200 acquires information on the current set value. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 252.

In step 252, the mode determination means 200 acquires the mode lottery probability of the mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the total number of games and the acquired set value. Specifically, for example, when the total number of games is 80 and the set value is 3, the mode A lottery table 210 (FIG. 8) indicates that the mode A is 20/100 (20%) and the mode B is 20/100 ( 20%) and a mode lottery probability of mode C 60/100 (60%) is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 253.
In step 253, the mode determination means 200 performs lottery using the acquired mode lottery probability of the mode lottery table 210. Then, the process ends.

  In the present embodiment, the mode determining means 200 determines, by mode type lottery, which mode of the plurality of modes is set as the normal game mode after the end of the bonus game. The mode lottery probability used for the mode type lottery is stored in the mode lottery table 210 based on the total number of games. This mode lottery probability is set to be changeable based on the total number of games by referring to the mode lottery table 210.

The number of games until a predetermined lottery of normal game (specifically, a normal game started after the end of the previous special game (ART)) to special game (ART) is won, so-called total number of games Based on this, the mode of the normal game after the end of the bonus game (ART) is determined from among a plurality of modes (mode A, mode B, mode C) that have different possibilities of giving a profit to the player. Thus, based on the total number of games, the mode of the normal game after the end of the special game (ART) is determined from a plurality of modes A, B, and C that are different in possibility of granting a profit to the player. It becomes possible to select a mode.
The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment does not win the transition lottery to the special game even if a large number of games have passed during the normal game. This makes it difficult for normal games after special games to get stuck. In order to make it hard to get stuck, the number of games on the ceiling is set to be small as in the heaven mode of mode C (specifically, the number of games played on the ceiling is more easily determined as it is fitted). The modes A, B, and C are selected to select the number of games with different ceilings. In other words, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment does not win the transition lottery in the normal game, and the more it gets, the fewer the number of games on the ceiling is set in the normal game after the end of the bonus game. This makes it difficult to fit in the normal game. (The same applies to other embodiments described later.)

  That is, the result of the number of games (total number of games) until winning a special game (ART) in a normal game may be transferred to the special game (ART) in the next normal game after the special game (ART) ends. Can be reflected and reflected (associated), and as a result, the possibility of giving a profit to a future player after the end of the bonus game (ART) can be influenced and reflected. This increases the degree of freedom of design for future games after the award game (ART) transitioned from normal games has ended, and adjusts the amount of profit compared to those that are not supported (associated) at all. It is possible to make it more interesting, such as making the waves of the ball appear intense.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to make the gaming machine 10 adjusted so that the fluctuation of the profit amount is moderate (averaged).
In a normal game, if a lottery game is passed and the transition lottery is won and the total number of games increases and the player's disadvantage increases, the normal game after the award game (ART) ends up with the player Is set so that the mode lottery probability of mode C (heaven mode) is higher than that of other modes. That is, by setting the mode lottery probability of the mode C in which the possibility of transition to the next award game (ART) is higher than in other modes, the possibility of giving a profit to the player is increased. It can be set to be larger. As a result, in selecting the mode of the normal game this time, it was not easy to win the transition lottery in the previous normal game, so the player of the previous normal game wants to win immediately in the transition lottery of this normal game It is possible to respond to feelings and expectations when in an enthusiastic state, and to suppress dissatisfaction of the player. Even if the total number of games increases for the player and the disadvantage becomes large, in the normal game after the end of the bonus game (ART), the possibility of giving a profit to the player becomes large, and as a result, The player's profit can be adjusted so that the fluctuations are moderate.

  In contrast, for example, contrary to the above-mentioned contents, for example, in a normal game, the player's profit is increased in a state where the lottery is won by a small number of games without passing many games and the total number of games is small. In such a case, even in a normal game after the end of the award game (ART), the mode lottery probability of the mode C (heaven mode) that increases the possibility of transition to the award game (ART) is set high, The possibility of giving a profit to a person may be further increased. In the normal game, if the player's profit is large when the transition lottery is won with a small number of games without passing many games and the total number of games is small, even in the normal game after the end of the bonus game The mode lottery probability is set in advance so that the mode C that increases the possibility of giving a profit to the person is selected. In this way, it is possible to make the gaming machine 10 in which the player's profit increases dramatically in a very short time, and the wave of the profit amount that the player can acquire is very large.

In the present embodiment, when a transition lottery to a special game (first special game) is won in the normal game (first normal game) in the first mode selection section, the total number of games in the first mode selection section Using the mode lottery probability that the possibility of transition to the next privilege game (second privilege game) of the first privilege game increases as the number of games increases and becomes a small section with a large number of games (transition), A mode for a normal game (second normal game) after the first privilege game is finished is determined.
It is set so that the mode lottery probability becomes higher in the second normal game and becomes more advantageous to the player as the total number of games increases and the number of games becomes smaller.

The state in which the total number of games is increasing is a state in which the player does not immediately shift to the special game during the normal game, but is in a so-called entanglement state, and the disadvantage to the player is large. In such a state, the player's feeling is that, in the case of a normal game, if the transition lottery is won immediately without winning the transition lottery (that is, if the total number of games is large), after the bonus game ends In the transition lottery of the next normal game, I want you to win the transition lottery with a small number of games.
That is, in the previous normal game (first normal game), it was not easy to win the transition lottery, so if the lottery is normally performed with a predetermined probability, the current normal game (second normal game) Then, of course, I think that it is appropriate to win the transition lottery with a small number of games. And in the previous normal game (first normal game), it was difficult to win the transition lottery, so it would be a problem if you would not win the transition lottery immediately in this normal game (second normal game). I have such a sense of expectation.

As the total number of games in the first normal game increases and the number of games becomes smaller, the second normal game after the end of the first special game has a higher possibility of transition to the second special game. Because the mode lottery probability set in this way is used, the possibility of giving a profit to the player increases, and as a result, the profit amount to the player can be adjusted as the total number of games increases. It becomes.
In this first mode selection section, in the preferentially advantageous mode (advantageous to the player), the transition to the privilege game (ART) is accelerated, and the total number of games is likely to be reduced. When the total number of games is reduced, it becomes easier to enter a cold mode (disadvantageous to the player).
On the other hand, in the cold-treated mode (disadvantageous to the player), the transition to the privilege game (ART) is delayed, and the total number of games tends to increase. As the total number of games increases, it becomes easier to enter a preferential mode (advantageous to the player) next time.
That is, (1) the total number of games is large in the normal game (cold state) (2) Bonus game. (3) The total number of games is small in normal games (preferred state). (4) Bonus game. (5) The total number of games is high in normal games (cold condition). (6) Bonus game. The game proceeds in the order of (1) to (6). By selecting such a mode, it is possible to balance the entire game over a long period of time.
Thereby, it is possible to respond to feelings and feelings of expectation when the player is in a stuck state (a state in which the total number of games has increased), and it is possible to suppress dissatisfaction of the player.
Further, in the present embodiment, when the total number of games increases without winning the transition lottery in the previous normal game (first normal game), the next normal game after the end of the first bonus game ( In the second normal game), since the mode of the second normal game can be determined using the mode lottery probability that is advantageous to the player, the entire game such as profits for the player over a long period of time can be determined. It becomes possible to balance.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a large number of games are required in the first normal game in order to acquire a special game (first special game) during the normal game, the next special game (second special game) The number of games of the next normal game (second normal game) required to acquire (game) is likely to decrease. For this reason, even if the first bonus game is completed by performing a large number of games in the first normal game (by making a lot of investment), the next bonus game (second bonus game) is used. The player can be motivated to continue to play the game. It is possible to give a willingness to continue the game to a person who intends to stop the game by the end of the privilege game.

  Here, using the mode lottery probability that the possibility of shifting to the second privilege game increases as the number of games increases until the total number of games increases until winning the transition lottery and the number of games increases. The mode of normal game can be determined. This is because, as the total number of games increases and the number of games becomes smaller, the mode lottery probability for mode C (heaven mode) advantageous to the player increases, and mode A disadvantageous to the player. , B (Hamari mode) is set so that the mode lottery probability is low. In this embodiment, the mode lottery probabilities of both mode C advantageous to the player and disadvantageous modes A and B are adjusted, but only one of the advantageous or disadvantageous modes is adjusted. In such a case, a neutral mode that is neither advantageous nor disadvantageous is provided, and the lottery probability of the neutral mode is increased or decreased.

  In the present embodiment, in the mode selection section (second mode selection section, first mode selection section) excluding the last mode selection section (third mode selection section), when the transition lottery is won, the game is shifted to the bonus game. However, it is not possible to shift to the award game without winning.

On the other hand, in the last mode selection section (third mode selection section), when the total number of games reaches a predetermined threshold value (specifically, the total number of games is 1201), a reward game is always entered. Transition is determined.
In a plurality of mode selection sections (first, second and third mode selection sections), the transition is determined when the transition to the bonus game (ART) is won in the transition lottery, and the transition is not determined unless it is won (First and second mode selection sections) and a case where it is decided to always shift (third mode selection section) will occur. In this way, the conditions for shifting to the privilege game (ART) are different, and the complexity of the game can be increased. In addition, since it is more advantageous for a player to make a transition than winning a transition lottery as a condition for transitioning to an award game (ART), the last mode selection section is set to obtain such advantageous conditions. You can be interested in becoming. As a result, the complexity of the game can be increased and the game can be made interesting.

The fact that this is the last mode selection section (third mode selection section) means that a large number of games have elapsed (digested) and many normal games have been consumed (investment has been made). Will be). Since the transition to the privilege game (ART) is always performed in the last mode selection section (third mode selection section), such a player can be relieved, and the overall balance in terms of profit provision It can be taken.
In the present embodiment, in the third mode selection section, the transition to the privilege game (ART) is always determined without reaching the transition lottery by reaching the total number of games of 1201. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the lottery probability of the transfer lottery may be set to 100%, and the transfer of the bonus game is always determined by executing the shift lottery.

  In the present embodiment, in the first mode selection section (second mode selection section), the mode lottery probability (the number of games 101 to 101) set at the beginning of the next mode selection section (first mode selection section) to be started next The mode lottery probability (mode A: 30%, mode B: 30%, mode C: 40%) is set to be more likely to shift to the next bonus game than the mode lottery probability at 200 times (mode A: 30%, mode B: 30%, mode C: 40%) The mode of the normal game is determined using the mode lottery probability (mode A: 20%, mode B: 20%, mode C: 60%) in the number of games 1-100. At this time, the player is set (preferred) more advantageously than the first small section (the number of games 101 to 200) of the mode selection section (first mode selection section) to be started next. That is, in a certain section (first mode selection section (second mode selection section)) immediately after the end of the bonus game, the first small section (number of games 101 to 200) of the subsequent mode selection section (first mode selection section). Mode) is more easily selected by lottery than the mode.

  In the present embodiment, the first mode selection section (second mode selection section) is relatively preferred, and the mode lottery probability is commonly used in the first mode selection section (second mode selection section). (Only one small section is provided for 1 to 100 games). Thereby, in this first mode selection section (second mode selection section), a state advantageous to the player is likely to occur continuously.

Further, in this first mode selection section (second mode selection section), since the mode lottery probability is commonly used, even if winning at the beginning of the section, there is no difference in preferential treatment for the player, which is disadvantageous. The condition is unlikely to occur. In other words, at any timing of the number of games from 1 to 100, even if the transition lottery is won, there is only one small section in the range, and the mode is determined only by one common mode lottery probability. Therefore, no difference occurs in the preferential treatment for the player within the range. For example, if it is set as a big profit that fits, a small profit if it doesn't fit, it becomes a small profit after winning at the beginning of the interval, and the player is cold treated However, such a state does not occur in the first mode selection section, and an advantageous state is stably generated.
As a result, the mode selection lottery immediately after the end of the amusement game (ART) can be made very effective regardless of what is called a fit. Simply make a change to the monotonous gameability that the deeper the fit, the greater the profit will be, and make it surprising that the profit can be increased when the fit immediately after the bonus game is shallow it can.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, in a single game, when the first transition lottery is won, the second transition lottery is not executed. In other words, in one game, only one of the transfer lotteries is won. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to execute both the first transfer lottery and the second transfer lottery in one game (Note that FIG. 13 described later and others described later) The same applies to the embodiments of the above).
In the present embodiment, in a plurality of games, even in the state where either the first transition lottery or the second transition lottery is won, the first transition lottery and the second Although it is formed so that 2 shift lottery can be executed, it is not particularly limited to this. For example, in the state where the first transition lottery or the second transition lottery is won, the transition lottery (the first transition lottery and the second transition lottery) may not be executed in the subsequent game during the normal game ( This also applies to FIG. 13 described later and other embodiments described later.
Further, in the present embodiment, when the transition to the privilege game (for example, privilege game A) is confirmed by the first transition lottery, when an effect (prediction effect) before executing this privilege game A is executed. In some cases, the game is executed a plurality of times from the time of the determination to the transition of the bonus game A. Therefore, the second transition lottery is won and the transition to another special game (for example, special game B) is confirmed between the time when the transfer of the special game A is confirmed and the start of the special game A. There is a case. Conversely, the second transition lottery may win first, and the first transition lottery may win later.

In this way, even if one of the first transition lottery and the second transition lottery is won, by allowing the other transition lottery, a plurality of special games having different winning timings can be obtained. Become. At that time, one of the winnings will be stocked internally.
In such a case, the mode determined by the lottery at the time of winning the first transition lottery, for example, for the normal game after executing the one privilege game (the privilege game A) and the other privilege game (the privilege game B). Can be set. However, besides this, the mode determined by the lottery at the time of winning the second transition lottery where the number of games of the normal game is large is set (in this case, the mode determined at the time of the first transition lottery is rewritten). , You may make it set the direction favored with respect to a player by comparing both modes.
(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, there is only one type of mode lottery table 210 (FIG. 8), and in the case of winning both in the first transition lottery and the second transition lottery, one type of mode lottery table is common. Using 210, the next normal game mode was determined.
In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the transition lottery is executed based on the first transition lottery that can be executed based on the result of the role lottery of the role lottery means 120, and the passage of a predetermined number of games in the normal game And a second lottery that can be executed based on the above.

The mode lottery table 210 according to the present embodiment is provided with a mode lottery table 210 corresponding to each transition lottery. That is, a first mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the first transition lottery and a second mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the second transition lottery are provided.
The mode determination means 200 determines which mode to use by mode type lottery using the mode lottery table 210 corresponding to each transition lottery. That is, the mode determining means 200 uses the first mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the first transition lottery, or uses the second mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the second transition lottery, to determine the next normal game mode. This is determined by mode type lottery.
As shown in FIG. 12, (A) is the first mode lottery table 210, and (B) is the second mode lottery table 210.

  The mode lottery probability used for the mode type lottery in the mode determining means 200 is the mode lottery probability in the first mode lottery table 210 in FIG. 12A rather than the mode lottery probability in the second mode lottery table 210 in FIG. Is favored to be advantageous to the player. Here, the mode lottery probability is favored so as to be advantageous to the player. The mode lottery probability to the mode C (heaven mode) that maximizes the profit for the player among the plurality of modes is more. It is set to a large value. At the same time, the profit to the player is small among the plurality of modes, and the mode lottery probability for the modes A and B called the humal mode is also set to a smaller value.

Specifically, the mode lottery probability of mode C (heaven mode), which is the most advantageous mode for the player among the modes, is 60%, 45% for each range in FIG. In contrast to 55%, 65%, 75%, 95%, and 0%, in FIG. 12 (B), 55%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 90 in order for each range. % And 0% are set. The mode lottery probability of mode C advantageous to the player is advantageous to the player because the numerical value of the first mode lottery table 210 is higher except for 0% of the third mode selection section. Yes.
Further, for example, the mode lottery probability of the mode A Hamari mode, which is a disadvantageous mode for the player, in FIG. 12A, the range of each subsection (1 to 101 times, 101 to 200 times, 201 times to 300,... 801 to 1200 times, 1201 times), 20%, 20%, 20%, 10%, 10%, 0%, 70%, whereas in FIG. 25%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 10% in order for each sub-range (1-101 times, 101-200 times, 201 times-300,... 801-1200 times, 1201 times) 5% and 80% are set. The mode lottery probabilities of modes A and B, which are disadvantageous to the player, are the first mode in most sub-ranges (except in the case of 801 to 1200 times in mode B and 1201 times in mode C). The value of the lottery table 210 is lower, which is advantageous for the player.

  In the present embodiment, the mode lottery probabilities of both mode C, which is advantageous to the player, and modes A, B, which are disadvantageous, are adjusted as described above, but only one of the adjustments is adjusted. May be implemented. In such a case, a neutral mode that is not advantageous or disadvantageous to the player is newly provided, and the mode lottery probability of the neutral mode is adjusted.

The mode selection process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
Of the mode selection processing described in FIG. 10 in the first embodiment, what is processed in the common mode type lottery processing in steps 214 and 216 is won in the first transition lottery in this embodiment. In step 314, the first mode type lottery process is performed. In step 316, when the second transition lottery is won, the second mode type lottery process is performed. The other contents are the same as the flowchart described in FIG.
The first mode type lottery process described above will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 14, and the second mode type lottery process described above will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In the mode type lottery process described in FIG. 11 in the first embodiment, in step 252, the mode lottery probability of the mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the total number of games and the set value is acquired. In this embodiment, in step 352 of the first mode type lottery process of FIG. 14, the mode lottery probability of the first mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the total number of games and the set value is acquired, and the second lottery of FIG. Step 362 of the mode type lottery process is different in that the mode lottery probability of the second mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the total number of games and the set value is acquired. The other contents are the same as the flowchart described in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, even when a chance does not come without winning in the first transition lottery executed based on the result of the winning lottery, the predetermined number of games is digested to obtain a predetermined number of normal games. The second transition lottery based on the progress of the number of games will be executed, and a chance to transition to a special game will come. Thereby, a change can be given to monotonous game playability.

The impression that the player has won the first transition lottery that can be executed based on the result of the role lottery is stronger and more satisfying than the second transition lottery obtained by elapse of the predetermined number of games in the normal game It becomes.
In the mode lottery probability of the mode C (heaven mode) that is most advantageous to the player, the mode lottery probability of the first transition lottery is set higher than the mode lottery probability of the second transition lottery, and the second lottery probability is higher than that of the second transition lottery. By giving preferential treatment to the 1 transfer lottery, it is possible to give a meaning as a privilege to the player who has won. Thereby, satisfaction can be given to having won by itself, and a game willingness can be improved.

In the present embodiment, when the mode lottery probability to the mode C in which the profit for the player is maximized among the plurality of modes is increased, the mode determination means 200 causes the normal game after the end of the bonus game based on the mode lottery probability. As a result of the mode type lottery for determining the mode, there is a high possibility that the mode C having the maximum profit among the plurality of modes is selected. That is, the mode of the normal game after the end of the bonus game is likely to adopt the mode C that maximizes the profit among a plurality of modes, and can give a large profit to the player. It is.
In the present embodiment, other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those described in the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

(Third embodiment)
As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, in the present embodiment, until the next transition lottery is won by counting from the normal game after a predetermined opportunity (specifically, the end of the privilege game (ART)). Two mode selection sections (a first mode selection section and a third mode selection section) are provided up to the number of games, that is, the total number of games. In the first embodiment, three mode selection sections are provided. In the present embodiment, there are no second mode selection sections, and only the remaining first and third mode selection sections. It is what has become. In the range of 1 to 100 games, in the first embodiment, the mode lottery probability of modes A, B and C is set to 20%, 20% and 60% in the second mode selection section. On the other hand, the same range in the present embodiment is the first section of the first mode selection section, and the mode lottery probabilities of modes A, B and C are set to 35%, 35% and 30%. .

  In the first mode selection section of the present embodiment, the number of normal games is in the range of 1 to 1200 times, and if the winning lottery for the award game (ART) is won in the section, the transition lottery is selected. The mode lottery probability is set so that when the total number of games until winning is increased, the possibility of shifting to the next special game of the special game is increased. In other words, in all the sections of the first mode selection section in which the number of normal games is 1 to 1200, the first mode selection section is the next normal game according to the winning timing (that is, the amount that was actually addicted). This mode is a range in which the player can be given preferential treatment. Since other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

(Fourth embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, counting is started from a normal game after a predetermined opportunity (specifically, the end of the bonus game (ART)). Three mode selection sections (a first mode selection section, a second mode selection section, and a third mode selection section) are provided up to the number of games until the next transition lottery is won, that is, the total number of games. . Although the third mode selection section according to the first embodiment is set to only one game of 1201 games, the third mode selection section according to the present embodiment is the number of games 1201 to 1201. It is set between 10 games of 1210 times. In this case, the bonus game (ART) starts in advance at the number of games 1211. In that case, you may make it perform a precursor effect over ten games in this 3rd mode selection area. In addition, a lottery for a transition to a privilege game (ART) may be performed with high probability over 10 games in the third mode selection section. At that time, if the transition lottery is won from 1201 times to 1210 times, the bonus game (ART) is started at the time of winning, and if it is not won from 1201 times to 1210 times, 1211 games Thus, a privilege game (ART) is forcibly started. In addition, this 3rd mode selection area is not limited to this 10 times, You may set to the game frequency of 1-9 times or 11 times or more. Since other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

(Fifth embodiment)
The main controller 110 according to the present embodiment includes a game number stock means for stocking a part of the total number of games counted during a normal game in a stock counter, and the number of games stocked by the game number stock means (stock Game number addition means for adding the number of games) to the total number of games of the normal game started after the end of the bonus game transferred from the normal game. The stock counter of the game number stock means counts the total number of games updated during the stock period at the same time as a stock counter value (stock game number) and stores the counted result. The above-mentioned game number stock means and game number addition means are added to the main control device 110 of FIG. 3 described in the first embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the mode lottery probability is set so as not to be advantageous to the player even if the total number of games increases while the game number stock means executes the stock of the total number of games. ing.
As shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, counting is started from a normal game after a predetermined opportunity (specifically, the end of the award game (ART)). Three mode selection sections (a first mode selection section, a second mode selection section, and a third mode selection section) are provided up to the number of games until the next transition lottery is won, that is, the total number of games. .

  Here, in the first mode selection section according to the first embodiment, in the number of games 100 to 1200, the number of games 101 to 200, 201 to 300, 301 to 500, It was divided into five subsections of 501 to 800 times and 801 to 1200 times. On the other hand, in the first mode selection section according to the present embodiment, in the number of games 100 to 1200, the number of games 101 to 200, 201 to 300, 301 to 500, 501 depending on the difference in mode lottery probability. It is divided into four sub-sections of ~ 1200 times.

  That is, in the first embodiment, when the number of games is 501 to 800, the mode lottery probabilities of modes A, B and C are set to 15%, 15% and 70%, and when the number of games is 801 to 1200 The mode lottery probabilities for modes A, B, and C were set to 0%, 10%, and 90%. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the mode lottery probability of the modes A, B, and C is 15%, 15% when the number of games is 501 to 1200 without providing a small section of the number of games 801 to 1200. It is set to be commonly used as 70%. Then, when the number of games is 801 to 1200, a part of the total number of games counted during the normal game is stocked by the game number stock means, and the game number addition means has the stocked game times (stock game times). ) Is added to the total number of times of the normal game started after the end of the bonus game transferred from the normal game (specifically, “the normal game started after the end”). Note that the normal game in which the number of stock games is added to the total number of games is not limited to the above-mentioned “normal game started after the end”, and the normal game after the end of the bonus game transferred from the normal game or after that It may be a normal game started at

In this embodiment, the mode lottery of 801 to 1200 times corresponding to the stock period is the same as the mode lottery in the range immediately before the stock period (501 to 800 times) (mode A: 15%, mode B: 15 %, Mode C: 70%) setting. This is a range of 801 to 1200 times (stock period) is a more addictive section (should be more preferential) than a small section of 501 to 800 times, but the number of games that have been stocked Is reflected as the normal game mode after the next time, so that it is not set to be preferential over the range of 501 to 800 times so as not to be reflected in the next normal game mode.
In the present embodiment, the number-of-games adding means adds to the total number of games of the normal game started after the end of the bonus game. However, in the normal game started after the end of the bonus game. In addition, the number of stock games may be added to a normal game that is started after the completion of another special game after the special game.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 22, the game number stock process will be described.
First, in step 410, it is determined whether or not the winning combination information is acquired as a result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 120. If it is determined that the winning combination information has been acquired, the process proceeds to the next step 411. If it is determined that the winning combination information has not been acquired, the processing ends.

In step 411, it is determined whether or not the game is a non-penalty game. Here, the non-penalty game means a game that is not a penalty game, and the penalty game is a notification of a predetermined recommended stop operation order (a predetermined stop operation order of the stop switch 50) to the player by the control device 100. A game that is established for a predetermined period when the stop operation is not performed according to the recommended stop operation order when the game is executed. If it is determined that the game is a non-penalty game, the process proceeds to the next step 412. If it is determined that the game is not a non-penalty game, that is, if it is determined that the game is a penalty game, the process ends.
In step 412, the number of games used for the total number of games is counted by the game number counter means. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 413.

In step 413, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is a stock period. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the number of games counted by the game number counting means 190 is in the range of 801 to 1200 times. If it is determined that the current gaming state is the stock period, the process proceeds to the next step 414. If it is determined that the current gaming state is not the stock period, the process ends.
In step 414, the game counter counting means 190 updates the stock counter value (stock game count), which means the number of games during the stock period, by +1. Then, the process ends.

The mode type lottery process will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
In the mode type lottery process according to the present embodiment, steps 452, 453, and 454 are added in the middle of the flowchart described with reference to FIG. 11 of the first embodiment.
In step 452, it is determined whether or not the stock counter value is larger than 0 by the game frequency stock means. If it is determined that the stock counter value is greater than 0, the process proceeds to the next step 453. If it is determined that the stock counter value is not greater than 0, the process proceeds to step 455.
In step 453, the stock counter value (stock game count) stored in the stock counter of the game count stock means is added to the total game count, and the added value is used as a new total game count. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 454.
A specific example of this embodiment is shown below. For example, if the transition lottery is won when the normal number of games is 1000 (1000th game), the mode type lottery process in the game of the 1000th game number corresponds to the number of games 501 to 1200 to which the 1000 game number belongs. The mode type lottery is executed with the lottery probability (mode A: 15%, mode B: 15%, mode C: 70%), and the mode in the next normal game is determined. Here, it is assumed that the mode A is determined. On the other hand, since the number of normal games in the stock period is 1000 times-800 times = 200 times, the final stock counter value is 200.
Thereafter, the bonus game is ended, and the normal game is performed in the mode A. In the normal game in this mode A, for example, if the game lottery is won at 250 times, the mode lottery probability (mode A: 20%) corresponding to the game times 301-500 to which 250 times + 200 times = 450 times belongs. , Mode B: 20%, mode C: 60%). The mode lottery probability at this time is more to the player than the mode lottery probabilities (mode A: 25%, mode B: 25%, mode C: 50%) corresponding to the number of games 201-300 to which the number of games 250 belongs. It will be a preferential treatment.

In addition, in the normal game in the mode A, for example, when the transition lottery is won with 50 games, the lottery probability corresponding to the number of games 201 to 300 to which the number of games with the stock added 50 times + 200 times = 250 times ( Mode A: 25%, Mode B: 25%, Mode C: 50%) is a mode lottery probability (mode A: 20%, mode) corresponding to the number of games 1 to 100 to which the number of games 50 does not add stock B: 20%, mode C: 60%), the player is cold-treated. In such a case, the stock may not be added. In other words, the number of normal games (all or part) in the stock period is added when the mode lottery probability is preferentially given to the player by adding it. You may make it carry over to the probability.
In this embodiment, a part of the total number of games counted during the normal game is stocked and added to the total number of normal games started after the end of the bonus game (ART). Change the number of times discontinuously, change the mode lottery probability due to the change in the total number of games, prevent the game from becoming monotonous, can be a surprising game, increase the fun of the game be able to.

In the present embodiment, during stock execution of the total number of games by the game number stock means, the mode lottery probability is set so as not to be advantageous to the player even if the total number of games increases.
Even if the total number of games is stocked during execution of the stock game, if the player gains a profit such as an increase in the mode lottery probability, the stocked game will be added to this profit. Even in a future normal game in which the number of times is added, the player is given a profit that is increased by adding the stock to the total number of games. That is, the profit due to the increase in the total number of games is given redundantly in the current and future normal games, and the profit grant to the player increases. For this reason, as in the present embodiment, during stock execution, even if the total number of games increases, it is not advantageous to the player, and it is possible to balance profits. Thereby, in this Embodiment, the profit increase by stock introduction can be avoided and profit provision can be adjusted.
Stocking of the number of games is started in the middle of the first mode selection section, and the number of games of the normal game from the middle is set as the number of games for selecting the mode after the next time. For this reason, it is possible to narrow the range for dividing the first mode selection section (the number of game times in the small section), and to select a mode that is more suitable for the actual humor. For example, when the number of games of 100 to 1000 is divided into nine small sections, one small section is divided into 100 games. On the other hand, if stock is started at 800 times in the middle of 100 to 1000 games and the game times 100 to 800 are divided into 9 small sections, one small section is divided into about 77 games. Can be made finer.

(Sixth embodiment)
In this embodiment, the mode lottery table 210 of the first embodiment is provided with two modes, the first mode lottery table 210 and the second mode lottery table 210, as in the second embodiment. As in the fifth embodiment, a part of the total number of games is stocked in the number of games 801 to 1200 in the first mode selection section.
Specifically, in the first and fifth embodiments, there is only one type of mode lottery table 210 (FIGS. 8 and 21), and both the first transition lottery and the second transition lottery were won. In this case, the mode of the next normal game is determined using one type of common mode lottery table 210.

  In the present embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the mode lottery table 210 is provided with a mode lottery table 210 corresponding to each transition lottery. That is, a first mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the first transition lottery and a second mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the second transition lottery are provided.

Further, the main controller 110 according to the present embodiment includes the game number stock means and the game number addition means described in the fifth embodiment.
The mode determination means 200 uses the first mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the first transition lottery or the second mode lottery table 210 corresponding to the second transition lottery to select the mode of the next normal game as the mode type. It is decided by lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 24, (A) is the first mode lottery table 210, and (B) is the second mode lottery table 210. In the first mode lottery table 210 and the second mode lottery table 210, as in the mode lottery table 210 (see FIG. 21) of the fifth embodiment, the mode lottery probability in the range of the number of games 801 to 1200 is A common (identical) mode lottery probability in the range of 501 to 800 games is set. That is, the range of the number of games 501 to 1200 is set as one small section. Both the first mode lottery table 210 and the second mode lottery table 210 are part of the total number of games played by the game number stock means described in the fifth embodiment in the range of the number of games 801 to 1200. Stock is set to take place. Then, as in the fifth embodiment, a normal game that is started after the bonus game is ended by the number-of-games adding means (specifically, a normal game that is started after the end, of course, It may be added to the total number of games (which may be a normal game thereafter).

Then, the mode selection process described in the flowchart of FIG. 13 of the first embodiment is similarly performed in this embodiment. At that time, the first mode type lottery process is not the content described in the flowchart of FIG. 14, but instead is the content shown in the flowchart of FIG. 25, and the second mode type lottery process is the flowchart of FIG. Instead of the contents described, the contents shown in the flowchart of FIG. 26 are used instead.
In the flowchart of the first mode type lottery process shown in FIG. 25, step 455 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 23 of the fifth embodiment is changed to step 555, and the change content is “mode lottery table 210”. , “First mode lottery table 210”.

  Further, in the flowchart of the second mode type lottery process shown in FIG. 26, step 455 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 23 of the fifth embodiment is changed to step 565, and the changed contents are “mode lottery table 210”. "Is changed to" second mode lottery table 210 ".

  Other configurations, operations, and effects other than those described above are the same as the contents of the portions corresponding to the respective configurations described in the first embodiment and the above-described embodiments, and detailed descriptions thereof will be given. Omitted.

(Seventh embodiment)
As shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, in the present embodiment, the second mode selection section is not provided as in the third embodiment. However, in the third embodiment, the range of the small section of the first mode selection section (number of games 1 to 1200) is the number of games 1 to 100, 101 to 200, 201 to 300, 301 to 500. In the present embodiment, the number of games is 1 to 200 times, 201 to 400 times, 401 to 800 times, while it is divided into a total of 6 subsections, times, 501-800 times, 801-1200 times. It is divided into four subsections of 801 to 1200 times.

Further, as in the fifth embodiment, a part of the total number of games is stocked by the game number stock means at the end of the first mode selection section (the number of games 801 to 1200), and the stock number is added by the game number addition means. The number of games is added to the total number of games of normal games started after the end of the bonus game.
Other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as the contents of the description corresponding to each configuration in each embodiment including the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.
In the first to seventh embodiments described above, the first mode selection section has a mode lottery probability so that the number of games in the section is divided into five, six, etc., so that the mode is preferentially treated step by step. Although it is set, it is not particularly limited to this. For example, the first mode selection section is 101 to 600 times of game, and the mode lottery probability is changed for each game, so that it is more preferentially treated by dividing it into 500 etc. rather than 5 etc. It may be. In this way, it becomes possible to give preferential treatment to the next normal game mode in accordance with the actual game. In this case, the mode lottery probability may be stored as data in advance, but instead, for example, an initial value is set, and a predetermined value is counted up every time the game is digested once. It may be calculated by a calculation means such as adding the value to the initial value to obtain a numerical value of the mode lottery probability.
In the first to seventh embodiments described above, the first mode selection section has a range of the number of games (the length of the small section) such as 100 times, 100 times, 200 times, 300 times, 400 times, etc. Although the range is set to become gradually longer, the range is not particularly limited to this, and the range may be set to be gradually shorter or different.
In the first to seventh embodiments described above, in the second mode selection section, the range of the number of games is set to a plurality of times, such as the number of games 1 to 100, but is particularly limited to this. It is not a thing and may be set to only one game.
In the first to seventh embodiments described above, the second mode selection section is configured by one small section (1 to 100 times) of the number of games, but is not particularly limited thereto. For example, you may comprise in several small areas (2 small areas, 1-50 times and 51-100 times). And when comprised by a some small area, the mode lottery probability in each small area may be common, and may differ.
In the first to seventh embodiments described above, the transition lottery is set to the first transition lottery based on the result of the role lottery or the second transition lottery based on the passage of a predetermined number of games. It is not limited. Specifically, for example, when a predetermined point is accumulated and a predetermined value is reached, a transition lottery is executed, or a predetermined mission (for example, a bell role is continuously won twice) is cleared (executed). Thus, the present invention may be applied to a case where a transfer lottery is executed.
Furthermore, in addition to providing both the first transition lottery and the second transition lottery, only one of the first transition lottery or the second transition lottery may be provided.
In the first to seventh embodiments described above, the number of deepest release games in each mode is set. For example, in the first embodiment, the number of deepest release games in each mode is set to 1200 in mode A, 800 in mode B, and 100 in mode C (see FIG. 7). When mode A is selected in the mode type lottery process, the number of games on the ceiling is 1200 times. When mode B is selected, the number of games on the ceiling is 800 times. When mode C is selected, the game on the ceiling is selected. The number of times is set to 100 times. That is, the deepest release game count in each mode is set to the ceiling game count as it is. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when mode A is selected, the number of games selected in the range of 1 to 1200 times (for example, determined by lottery in which the number of games near 1200 times is easily selected). The number of games selected from the range of the number of games with the upper limit of the number of deepest release games in the mode selected in the mode type lottery process may be set as the number of games on the ceiling.
Any or all of the contents described in the first to seventh embodiments described above may be applied in any combination as long as they can be combined (applicable) including writing. Further, at least two or more embodiments may be combined.
