In particular, in the present embodiment, each of the watermelon A, the watermelon B, and the watermelon C is a winning mode including three small wins, but as shown in FIG. 8A, the watermelon A is internally set at any set value. While the winning probability in the lottery is constant at about 1/64, the watermelon B and watermelon C change in the range of about 1/1024 to about 1/256 depending on the set value, and the watermelon A to watermelon. When the winning probabilities of C are summed up, the probability that one of the watermelons will be won by the internal lottery changes in the range of about 1/56.9 to about 1/42.7 depending on the set value. The higher the set value from the setting to 6, the higher the probability that any watermelon will be won by the internal lottery.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4, the probability that each of the bonus winning modes can be obtained in the internal lottery is the same, but the regular bonus (RB) winning probability is set according to the set value. Different. Particularly, in the present embodiment, a big bonus (BB) and a regular bonus (RB) are provided as bonuses, but as shown in FIG. 8B, the big bonus (BB) is internally set at any set value. The winning probability in the lottery is constant at about 1/1024, whereas the regular bonus (RB) changes in the range of about 1/512 to about 1/256 depending on the set value, and each bonus is won. When the probabilities are summed up, the probability of winning one of the bonuses changes in the range of about 1/341 to about 1/204 depending on the set value, and the higher the set value for the setting 1 to the setting 6, the more The chances of winning a bonus are increased by internal lottery.

In the random number determination process, based on a start signal from the start switch 230, a random number value (random number for lottery) is obtained from the random number generating means 110 for each game, and the obtained random number value is stored in the main lottery table storage means 1911 of the storage means 190. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won by referring to the internal lottery table stored in.

In the lottery flag setting process, based on the result of the random number determination process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to have been won is selected from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, the lottery flags corresponding to the two or more types of winning combinations are set to the winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage means 1912 of the storage means 190.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a lottery flag (carrying possible flag) that can carry the winning state to the next and subsequent games until a prize is won, and a winning state will not be carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of winning. There is a lottery flag (flag not carry-over) that is reset to the winning state. A bonus is associated with the former carryover possible flag, and a small combination and a replay are associated with the latter carryover impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, for example, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over until the big bonus (BB) is won. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 carries out an internal lottery for determining whether or not a small winning combination and a replay are won, even in a game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) has been carried over. The same applies when the regular bonus (RB) is won. Once the regular bonus (RB) is won, the winning status of the regular bonus (RB) lottery flag is carried over until the regular bonus (RB) is won, and the regular bonus (RB) is won. Even in a game in which the winning state of the bonus (RB) lottery flag has been carried over, an internal lottery for determining whether or not a small win and a replay are won is performed. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the bonus lottery flag is carried over, when the small win or replay is won, the lottery flag of the bonus already won and the small win won in the internal lottery The lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations, which are composed of the lottery flag for replay and the lottery flag, are set to the winning state.

The reel control means 130 starts the rotation drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal from the start switch 230 which is operated by the player starting the game on the start lever SL. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 press the stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels that are steadily rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotating speed of about 80 rotations per minute). Control for validating the stop operation by the above, and control for stopping the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a mode according to the setting state of the lottery flag (result of the internal lottery) I do.

Then, when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 to activate the stop switch 240 while the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled, the reel control means 130 stops the reels from the stop switch 240. Based on the signal, by stopping the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310, control is performed to stop each reel of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed, and then determines. The reels are controlled to stop at the designated stop position. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to the operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 corresponds to the operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, regarding the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the spinning reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. It is like this. When stopping the spinning reels within 190 ms from the time the stop button is pressed, the number of frames required for the reels to stop from the time the stop button is pressed is 0 frames at the stop position of each spinning reel. It is determined within a range of up to 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery is the stop button. When it is located within the range of 0 to 4 with respect to the display position on the activated line when the pressing operation is performed, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination whose lottery flag is set in the winning state is the activated line. Control is performed to stop the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button that was pressed so that the reel is displayed in the upper display position.

And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310, a red 7 symbol “red 7” and a white 7 symbol “white 7”. , Black 7 design "black 7", BAR design "BAR", replay design "RP", dummy design "DUM", bell design "BL", watermelon design A "WMA", watermelon design B "WMB", and cherry design When "CH" is arranged and the symbols existing within 4 frames from the pressing detection position are drawn in on the activated line, the symbols arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel are pressed. It can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the detection position.

Further, the reel control means 130 refers to a process (logic operation) for obtaining a stop position of the reel which is rotating according to the priority, and the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 1913 of the storage means 190 while rotating. Processing for determining the stop position of the reel (table reference processing).

First, in the logic operation, within the range of 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the reel position at the time when the stop switch 240 is operated (at the time when the pressing of the stop button is detected), according to the priority data determined for each winning combination. (Or within the range of 0 frame to 1 frame), the priority is calculated for the candidate of the stop position for 5 frames (or 2 frames). Then, the candidate stop position with the highest priority among the priorities of the candidate stop positions is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic operation processing, the same priority may be obtained for multiple candidates for the stop position depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressing detection position, etc., and there are multiple candidates for the stop position with the highest priority. In this case, the actual stop position is determined by the table reference process described later.

Particularly, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority order is set in the order of "replay>bonus" and "small win>bonus", and in the logic operation, the lottery flags for two or more kinds of wins are set to the internal winning state. If it is, according to the priority order associated with each winning combination, the symbols that form the winning pattern of the winning combination of the lower priority order with respect to the candidate of the stop position that includes the symbols that form the winning pattern of the winning combination of the higher priority. The priority is calculated so that the priority is higher than that of the included stop position candidates.

In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority of the candidates for the stop position in the case where a plurality of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery depends on the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning patterns that can be displayed on the activated line. There are cases where the priority is obtained and cases where the priority is obtained according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for a small winning combination, and the number of symbol combinations showing the winning pattern that can be displayed on the activated line. When determining the priority of the candidate stop position according to, the candidate of each stop position such that the higher the number of symbol combinations showing the winning pattern that can be displayed on the activated line, the higher the priority. When determining the priority for the candidate for the stop position according to the number of paid out medals, the medal based on the payout of the small win corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the activated line. The priority of each candidate for the stop position is calculated such that the higher the number of payouts is, the higher the stop position (the stop position at which a small winning combination with a large payout can be won) becomes. However, when the priority for candidate stop positions is calculated according to the number of paid out medals, if small wins with the same payout are duplicated and won, each small win can be won. The priority of each candidate is treated as the same, and when the priority of the candidate of the stop position is obtained according to the number of symbol combinations showing the winning patterns that can be displayed on the activated line, the priority is displayed on the activated line. The priorities of the stop position candidates having the same number of symbol combinations indicating the displayable winning forms are treated as the same.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, the logic operation according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. Specifically, a correct answer batting order is set for each of batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9, and a pressing order different from the correct answer batting order is treated as an incorrect answer batting order. When one of the batting order bells is won, if the type of the stop button pressed first corresponds to the correct batting order, it is determined that the batting order is the correct batting order, and the number of medals paid out is the largest. The priority is calculated so that the candidate of the stop position has the highest priority. Further, when any of the batting order bells is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect batting order, it is possible to display the most symbol combinations forming the winning pattern at the stage of stopping each reel. The priority is calculated so that the possible stop position candidate has the highest priority.

In the present embodiment, if any of the batting order bells is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, a candidate for a stop position at which eight small winning combinations (small winning combination 6) can be won. When the logic operation is performed so that the priority of the winning combination becomes the highest and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, one small winning combination (small winning 1 to small winning 5) can be won. A logic operation is performed so that the position candidate has the highest priority.

When the gaming state is the RB established state or the BB established state, the winning of the small winning combination is prioritized over the bonus. Therefore, if the batting order bell is elected and the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order, 8 pieces are small. A regular bonus (RB) or a big bonus (BB) is displayed when the symbols that make up the winning pattern of one small winning combination are displayed on the activated line even if the winning combination is won and the stop operation is performed along the incorrect hit order. Priority is required to avoid winning. However, at the time of winning the cherry, it is not possible to display the symbols composing the winning pattern of the two small wins corresponding to the cherry on the activated line and the regular bonus (RB) or big bonus (BB) winning mode. Since there is a pressing detection position where the symbols that make up the symbol can be displayed on the activated line, when the cherry is won in the RB established state or the BB established state, the small bonus is not won and the regular bonus (RB ) Or a big bonus (BB) may be won.

In addition, when the batting order bell is won in the RB established state or the BB established state, the stop position may be determined so that the type of the small winning combination that is prioritized changes according to the pressing order. For example, the RB established state or the BB established state. When the batting order bell in the state is won, the priority is calculated so that the number of the symbol combinations showing the winning patterns that can be displayed on the activated line is the maximum regardless of the pressing order, and the priority is calculated, and the winning combination of 8 small wins The stop position may be determined by prioritizing the winning of one small winning combination over the winning. By thus preferentially winning one small win rather than eight small wins in the RB established state or the BB established state, the expected medal acquisition value in the RB established state or the BB established state can be further suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to give a motivation to win the regular bonus (RB) as soon as possible in the RB established state, or give a motivation to make the big bonus (BB) win as soon as possible in the BB established state.

In addition, in one of the RB established state and the BB established state, when the batting order bell is won, the winning order is set to 8 wins, and in the other gaming state, the batting order bell is won in any pressing order, and the winning order is 1 pc. The stop position may be determined so that the winning combination is won, and by doing so, an index for estimating which bonus is won depending on the winning frequency of the eight-small winning combination or the one-small winning combination is played. Can be given to people. That is, the control rules for determining the stop position when the batting order bell is elected may be different between the RB established state and the BB established state.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the common bell or JAC is won, a logic operation is performed so as to obtain the priority according to the payout number of medals, and when the common bell is won, the operation is stopped in any pressing order. Even if the operation is performed, the logic calculation is performed so that the priority of the candidate of the stop position that can win the 14 small winning combination (small winning combination 10) becomes the highest. Even if the stop operation is performed in order, the logic operation is performed so that the priority of the candidate of the stop position that can win the 15 small winning combination (small winning combination 11) is the highest.

In the logic operation, so-called pull-in processing and kick-out processing are performed as processing for obtaining candidates for reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining the priority of candidates for reel stop positions so that the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking-off process is a process of obtaining the priority of the candidate of the reel stop position so that the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 makes it possible to stop the symbols of the winning combination whose lottery flag is set in the winning state in the form of winning, while the winning symbols of the winning combination whose lottery flag is set in the non-winning state are in the form of winning. A logic operation is performed to obtain candidates for reel stop positions so that the reels will not stop.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes the reel index 315 including a photo sensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on the reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one rotation. Thus, the present rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation shaft of the stepping motor) from the reel reference position (frame detected by the reel index 315). Has become. That is, the reel control means 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

In the table reference process, when a plurality of candidates for the stop position with the highest priority are obtained as a result of performing the logic operation, which position is to be the stop position is determined by the stop control table storage unit 1913 of the storage unit 190. It is determined by referring to the stop control table stored in.

Here, in the stop control table, in accordance with the setting state of the lottery flag, the correspondence between the push detection position, which is the reel position at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated (the time when the stop button is pressed), and the actual stop position. The relationship is set. In the stop control table, a correspondence relationship between the pressed detection position and the number of sliding symbols indicating the rotation amount from the pressed detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

In the stop control table that is referred to when one of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 9 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 10, the correct batting order for each batting order bell (an example of a specific operation order) ) Is set and a pressing order different from the correct hit order is treated as an incorrect hit order.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when any of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 9 is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct order, eight small winning combinations are won. As described above, when the stop position is set with respect to the press detection position, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, one of the small wins will win, and none of the small wins will win. The stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set so that there is a case where a symbol combination showing an RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line.

Even if the batting order bell is won in the BB established state, since the small winning combination is prioritized over the bonus, there are 8 small winnings in the correct hitting order and 1 small win in the incorrect hitting order. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where a symbol combination showing an RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line without winning any winning combination. In the present embodiment, when the first stop operation is performed when the batting order bell is won in the BB established state, the symbols constituting the winning pattern of any of the small wins are always displayed on the activated line. Since the big bonus (BB) winning is avoided in, the big bonus (BB) winning is achieved even if neither of the eight-piece small win and the one-small win included in the batting order bell is won. There is nothing to do.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the stop control table that is referred to when the watermelons A to C are won, the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that the three small wins are prioritized over the one small win. Therefore, the stop position is determined so that one small win can be won as much as possible when three small wins cannot be won, and none of the small wins may be won depending on the mode of the stop operation. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, when three small wins are won, a right downward ineffective line consisting of the upper stage of the first reel R1, the middle stage of the second reel R2, and the lower stage of the third reel R3. The stop mode of the downward-sloping watermelon arrangement appears in which the symbol combination of the watermelon arrangement constituted by the watermelon symbol A “WMA” and the watermelon symbol B “WMB” is displayed.

In the present embodiment, the watermelon A, the watermelon B, and the watermelon C commonly include the small winning combinations 8 that are three small winning combinations, while the combinations of the two types of single small winning combinations are different from each other. However, the watermelon A and the watermelon B commonly include the small winning role 1, the watermelon B and the watermelon C commonly include the small winning role 3, and the watermelon A and the watermelon C both include. Since small win 2 is included in common, even if you miss the winning of three small wins when any of watermelon A, watermelon B, or watermelon C is won, It is not possible to identify which winning mode the winning mode is based on the stop mode.

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

Further, in the present embodiment, in the stop control table referred to when any one of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 12 is won, as shown in FIG. 11, the correct batting order is set for each batting order replay. , The pressing order different from the correct hit order is treated as an incorrect hit order.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when any one of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer batting order, the replay 2 is won. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set, and the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, the replay 1 wins.

In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when any of batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the replay 3 is won. The stop position with respect to the press detection position is set, and the stop position with respect to the press detection position is set so that when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, the replay 1 wins.

In the present embodiment, in the stop control table referred to when any one of the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 3 is won, the press detection position is set so that the replay 1 wins regardless of the press order in any case. The stop position for is set.

The winning determination unit 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage unit 1914 of the storage unit 190, all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are displayed on the activated line at the time of stopping. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is a winning combination of a predetermined winning combination. Then, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a big bonus (BB), a regular bonus (RB), a replay 1 to a replay 6, and a small winning combination depending on the symbol combination displayed on the activated line in a state where each reel is stopped. A winning determination table is prepared so that it is possible to determine whether or not there is a winning of 1 to the small winning combination 11 and whether or not an RT variation blank is displayed.

Then, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140, the process at the time of winning is executed when the winning combination is won. As the winning process, for example, when the small winning combination is won, the payout control unit 150 performs the payout control process of medals, and when the replay is won, the replay process unit 160 performs the replay process, and the bonus is awarded. When a prize is won, a game state transition control process for shifting the game state is performed by the game state transition control means 170. Further, when a predetermined symbol combination is displayed on the activated line in a state where all reels are stopped, the RT control means 173 performs control to change the RT state according to the displayed symbol combination. ..

The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small winning combination is won, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on the payout determined in advance for each winning combination, and the medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are paid to the hopper unit HP( The payout device) is controlled to pay out.

The hopper unit HP performs an operation of paying out the medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit HP is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates each time one medal is paid out, and the payout control means 150 actually outputs from the hopper unit HP based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. It is configured so that the number of medals paid out to can be managed.

When credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit HP, the number of credits stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 ( The credit addition process of adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals) is performed to virtually pay out medals.

When the replay wins, the replay processing means 160 performs the replay processing (replay processing) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without inserting a medal owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a replay is won, the automatic insertion of automatically inserting the same number of medals as the previous game without using the medals (including credit medals) held by the player The processing is performed, and the next game start operation for the start lever SL is waited in a state where the same effective line as the previous game is set.

As shown in FIG. 14A, the game state transition control means 170 has a normal state, an RB established state (an example of a bonus established state), an RB state (an example of a bonus state), and a BB established state (an example of a bonus established state). ), and a BB state (an example of a bonus state), a game state transition control process for transitioning the game state is performed. As the game state transition condition, one condition may be set, or a plurality of conditions may be set. When a plurality of conditions are defined, one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied, or based on the fact that all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied, the game state is set. It is possible to shift to another game state.

The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and it is possible to shift from the normal state to the RB established state and the BB established state. Specifically, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal state, the RB is established, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the BB is established. Further, in the normal state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table in which the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are set as the lottery targets The internal lottery is performed by referring to one of the tables 4 according to the RT state.

The RB establishment state is a game state that is shifted when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the internal lottery. In the RB established state, the small winning combination is determined with the same probability as in the normal state among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are determined. Both are excluded from the lottery target, and the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 5 in which the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1/7.3.

When the RB is established, the winning/retiring of small wins and replays is determined with the lottery flag corresponding to the regular bonus (RB) maintained in the winning state until the regular bonus (RB) is won, and the regular bonus (RB) is won. When the symbol combination indicating the form is displayed on the activated line, the game state transition control unit 170 shifts the game state from the RB established state to the RB state based on the winning of the regular bonus (RB).

The RB state is a game state in which the symbol combination showing the winning mode of the regular bonus (RB) is displayed on the activated line as a trigger. In the RB state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the winning probability of the small winning combination is set to be higher than that of the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 5, and the replay is excluded from the lottery target. The internal lottery is performed with reference to the selected internal lottery table 6. That is, in the RB state, the small winning combination is more frequently elected than in the normal state, and thus the gaming state is more advantageous to the player than in the normal state.

Further, in the RB state, it is determined whether or not the ending condition is satisfied by the winning number of the small winning combination and the number of games in the RB state, and whether the winning number of the small winning becomes a predetermined number (for example, 8 times) or RB. When the number of games in the state reaches a predetermined number (for example, 12 times), the game state transition control means 170 terminates the RB state and returns the game state to the normal state based on the fact that one of the conditions is satisfied. Let

The BB established state is a gaming state that shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the BB established state, the small winning combination is determined with the same probability as in the normal state among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) are determined. Both are excluded from the lottery target, and the internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 5 in which the winning probability of the replay is set to about 1/7.3.

Further, in the BB established state, the winning/retiring of small wins and replays is determined while the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and the winning of the big bonus (BB) is won. When the symbol combination indicating the form is displayed on the activated line, the game state transition control means 170 shifts the game state from the BB established state to the BB state based on the winning of the big bonus (BB).

The BB state is a game state that shifts when a symbol combination indicating a winning form of a big bonus (BB) is displayed on the activated line. In the BB state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the winning probability of the small winning combination is set higher than that of the internal lottery table 1 to internal lottery table 5, and the replay is excluded from the lottery target. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the selected internal lottery table 6. That is, in the BB state, the small winning combination is more frequently elected than in the normal state, which is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than in the normal state.

Further, in the BB state, it is determined whether or not the ending condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out by the bonus game in the BB state, and the medals exceeding the predetermined expected ending payout number (for example, 250 coins). When is paid out, the game state transition control means 170 ends the BB state and returns the game state to the normal state.

The RT control unit 173, as shown in FIG. 14B, is in the non-RT state (non-replay time state), the RT1 state (first replay time state), the RT2 state (second replay time state), and the RT3 state ( RT transition control processing for transitioning the RT state between the third replay time states) is performed. In the present embodiment, the lottery mode of the replay differs depending on the RT state, and specifically, at least one of the winning probability of the replay, the type of the replay targeted for the lottery, and the combination of the replays to be won in duplicate is different. There is. That is, when the RT state changes, the winning probabilities of some or all of the replays may be different before and after the change. As the transition condition of the RT state, one condition may be set, or a plurality of conditions may be set. When a plurality of conditions are set, the RT state is set based on that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It can be moved to another RT state.

The non-RT state is an RT state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of RT states, and the transition from the non-RT state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, in the non-RT state, when the symbol combination indicating the RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the non-RT state, among the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 3 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. Internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 1 set to .3. In the present embodiment, the non-RT state is set when the gaming state returns to the normal state with the end of the RB state or the BB state, and the RT state other than the non-RT state when the gaming state is the normal state. When one small winning combination is won, the RT state shifts to the non-RT state.

The RT1 state is an RT state that shifts when a symbol combination indicating an RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line, and it is possible to shift from the RT1 state to the RT2 state and the non-RT state. .. Specifically, in the RT1 state, when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 2 is displayed on the activated line (when the replay 2 wins), the process shifts to the RT2 state, and in the RT1 state, one small winning combination When the symbol combination indicating the winning form is displayed on the activated line (when one small winning combination is won), the state shifts to the non-RT state. Further, in the RT1 state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/7. Internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 2 set to 3.

The RT2 state is an RT state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 2 is displayed on the activated line, and shifts from the RT2 state to the RT3 state, the non-RT state, and the RT1 state. Is possible. Specifically, in the RT2 state, when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay 3 is displayed on the activated line (when the replay 3 is won), the process shifts to the RT3 state, and the one small winning combination in the RT2 state. When the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern is displayed on the activated line (when one small winning combination is won), the symbol combination indicating RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line in the RT2 state. If it is done, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, among the internal lottery tables 1 to 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/2. Internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 3 set to 5.

The RT3 state is an RT state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay 3 is displayed on the activated line, and it is possible to shift from the RT3 state to the non-RT state and the RT1 state. ing. Specifically, in the RT3 state, when the symbol combination indicating the winning configuration of the one-small winning combination is displayed on the activated line (when the one-win small winning combination is won), the state shifts to the non-RT state, and in the RT3 state When the symbol combination indicating the RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the RT3 state, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the normal replay 1 to the normal replay 3 are set as the winning mode of the replay, and the winning probability of the replay is about 1/2. An internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table 4 set to 0. In the internal lottery table 4 referred to when the player stays in the RT3 state in the normal state, the correspondence relation between the winning combination and the random number value is set so that the result of the internal lottery is not lost.

As shown in FIG. 15, the privilege granting means 175 changes the effect state among a plurality of kinds of effect states including a non-AT state, an AT preparation state, an AT state, and an AT end standby state, and under a predetermined condition. The effect state is set to the AT state (assist time state), and it is determined whether or not the AT state end condition is satisfied based on the value of the AT end determination counter 1915, and the AT state is ended when the AT state end condition is satisfied. Control. In the present embodiment, when the player is staying in the AT preparation state or the AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won, so that the eight batting combination (small winning part 6: predetermined small size). A prize assisting effect is provided to assist the winning of (an example of a role), and it is possible to perform an assist time game in which a medal is easier to acquire than a game staying in a non-AT state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the privilege granting means 175 can set a normal section, an internal middle waiting section, and an advantageous section. In the normal section, the effect state is fixed to a non-AT state and an AT lottery is performed to perform an AT lottery. It is possible to set the effect state to the AT state on condition that the advantageous section is started by being won. Then, in the game in the normal section, the privilege granting means 175 determines whether the common bell, watermelon A, cherry or big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery when the game state is the normal state. A lottery (an example of a specific lottery) is performed. In the AT lottery, the random number value acquired for the internal lottery is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage means 1911 to determine whether or not the AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the AT lottery table, for each of the random numbers for internal lottery associated with each winning mode (common bell, watermelon A, cherry, big bonus (BB)) in the internal lottery that triggers the AT lottery, If either the winning or the loss is associated and the random number value obtained for the internal lottery is associated with the winning in the AT lottery table, it is determined that the AT lottery is won.

Further, in the present embodiment, as the lottery state of the AT lottery, it is possible to set a low probability state with a winning probability of about 1/256 (an example of initial probability) and a high probability state with a winning probability of about 1/64. In the AT lottery, the AT lottery table according to the lottery state is referred to. That is, the AT lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher when the lottery state is the high probability state than when the lottery state is the low probability state is referred to. The winning probability of the AT lottery may be different depending on the winning mode in the internal lottery. In this case, there may be a winning mode in which the winning probability of the AT lottery is the same in the low probability state and the high probability state, or the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher in the low probability state than in the high probability state. , If the total number of random numbers assigned to the winning of the AT lottery has a relationship of “high probability state>low probability state”, the winning probability of the AT lottery for each winning mode can be arbitrarily determined. Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the AT lottery in each lottery state does not change under the influence of the set value.

Then, when the AT lottery is won in the normal section, the privilege granting means 175 starts the advantageous section based on winning the AT lottery, and shifts the effect state from the non-AT state to the AT state via the AT preparation state. Then, the assist time game is played in the advantageous section. When the AT lottery based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) is won, the winning information of the AT lottery is held until the end of the BB state, and the BB state is ended and the gaming state is returned to the normal state. Then, the effect state is set to the AT preparation state, and the AT preparation state is entered.

Then, in the present embodiment, in the AT preparation state, the effect control unit 180 executes the winning assistance effect so as to lead the RT state to the RT3 state.

For example, when the player is staying in the RT1 state, which is the RT state in which it is highly likely that he/she is staying in the non-AT state at the time of winning the AT lottery, the replay 2 is won when the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 6 are won. In order to be able to perform, a prize assisting production for informing the correct batting order is executed to guide the RT state to the RT2 state, and in the RT2 state, the replay 3 can be won when the batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 are won. , The prize assisting performance for informing the correct hit order is executed to guide the RT state to the RT3 state.

In the present embodiment, in the AT preparation state, the effect control unit 180 performs the winning assistance production for notifying the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won. However, in the AT preparation state, the RT state is set when the player stays in the non-RT state. In order to change the symbol to the RT1 state, it is necessary to perform the stop operation in the incorrect stroke order in order to display the symbol combination indicating the RT variation blank on the activated line. For this reason, if the player wins the AT lottery while staying in the non-RT state, the winning assistance production is not executed when the batting bell is won while staying in the non-RT state even in the AT preparation state. It is like this.

Then, the privilege giving means 175 shifts the effect state from the AT preparation state to the AT state based on the fact that the RT state has shifted to the RT3 state when the AT preparation state is set. The transition from the AT preparation state to the AT state may be performed based on the transition of the RT state to the RT2 state when the AT preparation state is set, or the AT preparation state is set. In the RT2 state, if any of batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12 is won, it may be shifted to the AT state at the end of the game.

In addition, in the AT state, if the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state due to a player's operation error, a prize-winning assistance effect is provided so that the RT state is returned to the RT3 state as long as the player stays in the AT state. Be seen. However, when the RT state falls into the non-RT state in the AT state, in order to guide the RT state to the RT1 state, the batting order bell is won until the symbol combination showing the RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line. No prize-winning assistance is performed.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 sets the value “50” corresponding to 50 times, which is the number of games as the ending condition of the AT state, in the AT end determination counter 1915 based on the fact that the AT lottery is won, and the AT state is set. Then, every time one assist time game is played, for example, when the start lever SL is pressed, a constant value “1” corresponding to one assist time game from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915. Decrement is updated by subtracting. Also, in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 1915 is continued in the process of returning the RT state to the RT3 state due to the RT state falling to the non-RT state or the RT1 state due to a player's operation error.

Then, when the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches the initial value "0", the privilege granting means 175 determines that the AT condition ending condition is satisfied, and the privilege granting means 175 sets the effect state to the AT end standby state. When the RT state shifts to the non-RT state or the RT1 state in the AT end standby state, the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. In the present embodiment, in the AT end standby state after the end of the AT state, the prize control effect when the batting order bell is won is not performed by the effect control means 180, so a symbol combination indicating a single small winning or a RT variation blank. Is displayed, the RT state easily falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state. As an effect state after the end of the AT state, the non-AT state may be restored without providing the AT end standby state. In addition, the condition for returning from the AT end standby state to the non-AT state is, for example, that a stop operation was performed in an incorrect answer batting order when the batting order bell was won, and a symbol combination indicating an RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line. Alternatively, one small prize may be won.

Further, in the AT state, when the winning mode of the small winning combination obtained in the internal lottery is watermelon A, cherry, or common bell in the AT state, the privilege granting means 175 determines AT in accordance with the winning mode of the winning combination in the internal lottery. An addition lottery is performed to determine whether or not a given addition value is added to the value of the end determination counter 1915. In the present embodiment, the number of executions of the assist time game in the advantageous section can be increased by adding the added value to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915.

In the additional lottery, the random number value obtained for the internal lottery is compared with the additional lottery table stored in the main lottery table storage means 1911, and it is determined whether or not the additional lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the add-on lottery table, each of the random number values associated with the winning mode that triggers the add-on lottery is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value obtained in the add-on lottery table is added. In the case where it is associated with the winning, it is determined that the additional lottery has been won. In addition, in the present embodiment, the additional lottery table is selected from a plurality of types of additional lottery tables in accordance with the winning mode of the winning combination in the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the additional lottery is “watermelon A<cherry<common. It is becoming higher in the order of "bell". Further, as the additional value when the additional lottery is won, a large additional value is selected in the order of "cherry <common bell <watermelon A". Note that the relationship between the winning mode of the part in the internal lottery and the winning probability of the additional lottery, and the relationship between the winning mode of the part in the internal lottery and the added value when winning the additional lottery are not limited to those described above. Can be set. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the additional lottery and the added value when the additional lottery is won do not change depending on the set value.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 performs a process of adding the added value to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 even when the batting order bell is won in all three consecutive games in the AT state. In the present embodiment, the game history storage means 1916 is provided with a storage area corresponding to a total of three games of the past two games and the current game, and a game history indicating whether or not the batting order bell is won in each storage area. Information is stored, and if any batting order bell is won in the game in the AT state, information indicating that the batting order bell is won in the current game is stored in a given storage area of the game history storage means 1916. And update the game history information. In this embodiment, nine types of batting order bell winning modes are provided (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9), but the gaming history information is handled as winning batting order bell without distinguishing the types. There is. Then, in the next game, the game history information indicating whether or not the batting order bell is won is stored in a memory area different from the memory of the previous game and the game of the previous time. The game history storage means 1916 is updated so that the game history information is stored. Then, in the present embodiment, when all the game history information regarding the game for three times stored in the game history storage means 1916 obtained as described above indicates the winning of the batting order bell, the condition for addition is added. When it is determined that the above condition is satisfied, the addition value is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915. In addition, the additional value obtained by winning the batting order bell three times in a row may be a fixed value, or may be selected from a plurality of types of additional values by lottery. Further, as a method for determining the consecutive winning of the batting order bell, the number of winnings of the batting order bell may be counted as the game history information and stored in the game history storage means 1916, which corresponds to, for example, the number of winnings of the batting order bell. When the value is counted up from the initial value "0" until the threshold value "3" is reached, when the batting order bell is won, the value corresponding to the number of winnings is set to a constant value "1" so as to approach the threshold value "3". The batting order bell corresponds to the winning count by updating so that the batting order bell does not win, and the value corresponding to the winning count is reset to an initial value “0”. When the value reaches the threshold value “3”, it may be determined that the batting order bell has been won three times in a row as a game history in three consecutive games. It should be noted that the number of times the batting order bell is won may be counted down instead of being counted up. In this case, when the batting order bell is won, a constant value "1" is set from the initial value "3" to the threshold value "0". It may be updated so that the batting order bell is not won, and the initial value “3” may be reset when the batting order bell is not won.

When the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the privilege granting means 175 suspends the AT state by stopping the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 1915 based on the winning of the big bonus (BB), After the BB state is completed, the AT state is restarted as the RT state shifts to the RT3 state via the AT preparation state. In the present embodiment, when a big bonus (BB) is won in a situation where the player is playing a game in the AT state in the advantageous section, the return to the AT state is confirmed after the BB state is completed, so that the advantageous section is obtained. Is being maintained.

Further, even when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the AT state, the privilege granting means 175, similar to the case where the big bonus (BB) is won, is based on the regular bonus (RB) winning and the AT end determination counter 1915. The AT state is interrupted by suspending the decrement update of 1. and the AT state is restarted as the RT state shifts to the RT3 state via the AT preparation state after the RB state is finished. In the present embodiment, since the winning probability of the regular big bonus (RB) changes depending on the set value, the winning of the regular bonus (RB) and the start and end of the RB state are not related to the start and end of the advantageous section. If the regular bonus (RB) is won in a situation where the player is playing in the AT state in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is maintained even in the RB state and is advantageous even after the RB state ends. The advantageous section is maintained as long as the end condition of the section is not satisfied.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 sets the lottery state of the AT lottery to a low probability state in the normal section, while setting the lottery state of the AT lottery according to the RT state in the advantageous section, and the RT state is the non-RT state or If either of the RT1 states is set, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set to the low probability state, and if the RT state is either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set to the high probability state. To do.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state and the effect state is the non-AT state in the advantageous section, the privilege granting means 175 uses a common bell, watermelon A, cherry, big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery. The AT lottery is performed based on the fact that one of the players has won, and if the big bonus (BB) is won in the game in which the player stays in the normal state and the non-AT state in the particularly advantageous section, the big bonus (BB) If you win in the AT lottery performed based on the winning of the, you will not be won in the AT lottery performed based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) after passing the BB state, going through the AT preparation state to the AT state In this case, the advantageous section ends as the effect state returns to the non-AT state after the BB state ends.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 performs an initialization process for initializing the control information related to the effect state, based on the end of the advantageous section. Particularly in the present embodiment, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state by the initialization process, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to the initial value (for example, 0), and further stored in the game history storage means 1916. The game history information being played is also initialized so as to return to the normal section.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, in addition to the normal section and the advantageous section, an internal waiting section can be set, and the privilege granting means 175 is advantageous based on winning the AT lottery in the normal section. The section starts, but if you win the AT lottery based on the winning of the big bonus (BB), but the state of winning the big bonus (BB) is carried over without winning the big bonus (BB), it is inside Start the advantageous section via the waiting section. Further, in the present embodiment, the AT preparation state, the AT state, and the AT end standby state can be set only in the advantageous section. Further, in the present embodiment, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) is not elected to trigger the AT lottery. Therefore, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) is won. Even if the state in which the regular bonus (RB) is won without the winning of the RB) is carried over, it does not shift to the internal waiting section.

In the present embodiment, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1) in the game in which the AT lottery is won in the normal section, and the clear counter 1917 is set every time the game is played in the advantageous section. The value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value (for example, 1500) by performing increment update to add a constant value (for example, 1) corresponding to one game to the value of (the value of the clear counter is " 1501"), the end condition of the advantageous section is established. In this embodiment, the clear counter 1917 is updated after all the spinning reels in each game are stopped, but if it is predetermined in each game, the clear counter 1917 is updated at any timing. Alternatively, the game start operation on the start lever SL may be used as an update trigger. In addition, in the advantageous section, the clear counter 1917 is updated even if the transition to each performance state such as the AT preparation state or the AT preparation state occurs, unless the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied. If you win the AT lottery that was performed when you won the big bonus (BB), but the advantage section starts via the internal middle standby section without winning the big bonus (BB), the internal middle standby section In, the clear counter 1917 is not updated, but the clear counter 1917 is updated at the start of the advantageous section.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, the initialization process is executed along with the end of the advantageous section and the normal section is restored. For this reason, when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in the situation where the player stays in the AT state, the AT state is forcibly terminated by the initialization processing and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. At the same time, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0). Further, even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value while staying in the AT preparation state, the AT preparation state is forcibly terminated by the initialization processing and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. At the same time, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0), and when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in the situation of staying in the AT end standby state, non-AT Even if the return condition to the state is not satisfied, the AT end standby state is forcibly ended by the initialization process, the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state, and the game history information stored in the game history storage means 1916 is also included. It is initialized.

In the initialization processing, not only the above-mentioned effect state, the AT end determination counter 1915, and the game history storage means 1916 but also the initialization of the clear counter 1917 is performed. Specifically, the value of the clear counter 1917 is initialized. It is initialized to a value (eg 0). Further, in the present embodiment, it is determined that the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied even when the effect state is returned to the non-AT state at the end of the BB state, and the initialization process is executed when the advantageous section is ended.

The privilege granting means 175 also wins the AT lottery based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) in the normal section, and when the big bonus (BB) is won, the value of the clear counter 1917 is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1). To generate an advantageous zone. However, in the present embodiment, the big bonus (BB) cannot be won unless the stop operation is performed at an appropriate timing. Therefore, the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, and the big bonus (BB) is won. If the big bonus (BB) is not won even if the AT lottery based on the above is won, it shifts to the internal middle waiting section, and the advantageous section is started with the winning of the big bonus (BB). .. On the other hand, if the player wins the big bonus (BB) in the normal section but does not win the AT lottery, no advantageous section occurs, and the gaming state is the BB established state or the BB state. The normal section is maintained, and when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal section, the AT lottery is not performed, and the normal section is maintained even if the gaming state is the RB established state or the RB state. In this embodiment, when the gaming state is the RB established state or the BB established state and when the gaming state is the RB state or the BB state, the AT lottery is not executed even in the normal section. .. Further, in the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the BB state to be transitioned by the big bonus (BB) is set to the advantageous section in principle, and the regular bonus (RB) is given in the advantageous section. In the case of winning, the RB state to be shifted by the regular bonus (RB) is set to the advantageous section in principle. That is, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, the BB state is set to the advantageous section only when the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is won, while When the big bonus (BB) is won, the BB state that shifts due to winning of the big bonus (BB) is set to the advantageous section unless the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied. In addition, if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal section, it does not move to the advantageous section, and if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, the condition for ending the advantageous section is not satisfied. As long as the regular bonus (RB) is won, the RB state to be shifted is set as the advantageous section. Even if the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, if the ending condition of the advantageous section is satisfied and the initialization process is performed before the big bonus (BB) is won, the big bonus (BB) is won. ) The BB state that shifts due to winning is set to the normal section, and even if the BB state shifts to the advantageous section, the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied before the end condition of the BB state is satisfied, and the initialization process is performed. In the case of being broken, after the initialization processing, the game state is switched to the normal section while keeping the BB state. Even if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, if the termination condition of the advantageous section is satisfied and the initialization process is performed before the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) The RB state that shifts due to winning is set to the normal section, and even if the RB state shifts to the advantageous section, the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied and the initialization processing is performed before the end condition of the RB state is satisfied. In this case, after the initialization processing, the gaming state is switched to the normal section while keeping the RB state.

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

Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section ends and the initialization processing is performed even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value and the BB stays in the established state. If you can not win the big bonus (BB) already won in the game of the normal section after the end, the winning of the big bonus (BB) does not accompany the transition to the advantageous section The section is maintained and does not move to the internal waiting section.

Further, in the present embodiment, even when the BB state is staying in a situation where the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, the advantageous section is ended regardless of whether the BB state end condition is satisfied. Then, the initialization process is performed to shift to the normal section, but since the AT lottery is not performed in the BB state in the normal section, the advantageous section ends in the situation of staying in the BB state. When the initialization process is performed, the effect state after the end of the BB state is always the non-AT state. In addition, since the game state is not initialized by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous zone, if the initialization process is performed in the situation where the player stays in the BB state, it is digested by the initialization process. Information such as the number of payouts in the game in the BB state is not initialized by the initialization process, and the game in the BB state is performed until the ending condition of the BB state is satisfied.

Further, in the present embodiment, even when the RB state is staying in the situation where the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, the advantageous section is terminated regardless of whether the termination condition of the RB state is satisfied. Then, the initialization process is performed to shift to the normal section, but since the AT lottery is not performed in the RB state in the normal section, the advantageous section is ended in the situation of staying in the RB state. When the initialization process is performed, the effect state after the end of the RB state is always the non-AT state. In addition, since the game state is not initialized by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous zone, if the initialization process is performed in the situation of staying in the RB state, it will be digested by the initialization process. Information such as the number of payouts in the game in the RB state is not initialized by the initialization process, and the game in the RB state is performed until the ending condition of the RB state is satisfied.

Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section is started by winning the AT lottery in the normal section, and the assist state game is performed by setting the effect state to the AT state in the advantageous section, but the AT state ends. Even so, the advantageous section is maintained until the value of the probability fluctuation counter 1916, which starts counting after the end of the AT state, reaches the initial value. That is, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section continues even after the AT state ends, so that even if the effect state returns to the non-AT state, there are cases where the player stays in the advantageous section.

Further, the privilege granting means 175 informs that the user is staying in the advantageous section by lighting the LED built in the section indicator SEC based on the start of the advantageous section, and based on the end of the advantageous section. The control is performed to turn off the LED built in the section display SEC. In the present embodiment, since the LED built in the section display SEC is turned off in the normal section and the internal waiting section, it is confirmed that the section display SEC is in the advantageous section by checking the lighting state. You can judge whether you are staying or not.

Then, in the present embodiment, the privilege giving means 175 is configured to start or end the advantageous section notification, which is a notification that the user stays in the advantageous section based on the value of the clear counter 1917. For example, when a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 1917 along with the shift to the advantageous section, the advantageous section is based on the value of the clear counter 1917 becoming larger than the initial value “0”. When the value of the clear counter 1917 is initialized to the initial value “0” as a result of the notification being started and the advantageous section ending and shifting to the normal section, the value of the clear counter 1917 is initialized to “0”. Based on that, the advantageous section notification is ended.

In the present embodiment, with regard to the advantageous section notification, when the advantageous section is started, the LED built in the section indicator SEC is turned on to immediately notify that the user is staying in the advantageous section. However, it may be a non-notification section that does not notify that it is an advantage section from the start of the advantage section until the predetermined number of games (for example, 32 times) have been exhausted. Further, the section indicator SEC does not have to be provided exclusively as in the present embodiment, and is used as a credit indicator for displaying the number of credits of medals, a payout indicator for displaying the number of medals paid out, etc. in the game information display section DS. You may make it double. For example, when the credit indicator or the payout indicator is composed of a 7-segment indicator, it is indicated whether or not the user stays in an advantageous section by switching the lighting and extinction of the dot display section that displays the decimal point, etc. The advantageous display may be performed by turning off the dot display section in the section and turning on the dot display section in the advantageous section.

The effect control unit 180 uses the display device 330 (an example of an effect device) and the sound device 340 (an example of an effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage unit 1918. Performs control related to sound effects. For example, a lamp or LED is lit or blinked according to the occurrence of a game event such as insertion of a medal, operation of the bet button B0, start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, variation of the game state, or display of the liquid crystal display LCD. By changing the content or outputting a sound from the speaker, the execution of the effect for encouraging the game or assisting the game is controlled according to the progress of the game. The content of the effect executed in the game is determined by referring to the effect lottery table stored in the sub-lottery table storage means 1919 according to the game state, the effect state, the result of the internal lottery, and the like.

Then, when the production state is the AT preparation state and the AT state, the production control unit 180 notifies the correct answer batting order at the time of winning the batting order bell and provides a winning assistance production for assisting the winning of the small winning combination of eight by the display device 330 or the sound. It controls the device 340 to execute. However, if the RT state is the non-RT state even if the production state is the AT preparation state, or if the batting bell is won in the AT state, one small winning combination is won by the player's operation error and the RT state is the non-RT state. If you fall to the state, until the batting order bell is won until the symbol combination showing the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line in order to guide the game state to the RT1 state, winning assistance production will not be performed. There is.

In addition, when the production state is the AT preparation state, the production control unit 180 notifies the correct batting order at the time of winning the batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 and replay 2 when the RT state stays in the RT1 state. In the situation where the RT state is staying in the RT2 state by causing the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute the winning assistance production for assisting the winning of the prize, the correct batting order is notified at the time of winning the batting order replay 7 to batting order replay 12. Control is performed to cause the display device 330 or the audio device 340 to execute a winning assistance effect that assists the winning of the replay 3.

Further, the effect control means 180, even if the effect state is the AT state, the symbol combination showing the RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line due to an operation error by the player at the time of winning the batting bell, and the RT state falls to the RT1 state. In this case, if the player stays in the AT state, the display device 330 displays a prize winning assistance effect that informs the correct batting order at the time of winning the batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 and assists the winning of the replay 2. The audio device 340 is controlled to be executed. Further, in the AT state, if the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state and stays in the RT2 state in the process of returning the RT state to the RT3 state, it is necessary to stay in the AT state, When the batting order replay 7 to the batting order replay 12 are won, the display device 330 and the audio device 340 are controlled to notify the correct batting order and assist the winning of the replay 3 with a prize.

In addition, when the assist time game is being played in the AT state, the effect control means 180 produces a remaining number display effect in which the remaining number of games played until the AT state ends is displayed on the display device 330 such as a liquid crystal display LCD. Perform control to execute. In the remaining number display effect, when the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is subtracted by performing an assist time game, the display content is changed so that the remaining number of games is also reduced so as to reflect the subtraction. .. In addition, when the additional value is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915, the additional number of the number of games corresponding to the additional value is notified and the remaining number of the game number that reflects the addition of the additional value is displayed as the remaining number. Is notified to the player.

The functional block configuration of this embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, a program that causes a computer to function as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment is downloaded from an information storage medium such as a CD or a DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network, thereby realizing the function. be able to. Further, in the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240, etc., have their functions virtual with respect to operating means such as a keyboard, pointing device (mouse, etc.), touch panel, or controller. It can be realized by allocating it to each other. Further, in the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit HP, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements, and these device units virtually perform their functions by controlling the image displayed and output on the display (display device 330). Can be realized.

2. Method of the present embodiment In the present embodiment, the normal section and the advantageous section can be set as the game section, and the AT lottery is performed when the effect state is the non-AT state in any of the game sections, but the normal section Adopts a method in which the winning probability of the AT lottery is constant at the initial probability and the winning probability of the AT lottery is changed under a predetermined condition in the advantageous section.

More specifically, the production state is always set to the non-AT state in the normal section, and the AT lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery, but the lottery state of the AT lottery in the normal section is always low probability. The winning probability is fixed at about 1/256. In the present embodiment, the advantageous section starts when the AT lottery is won in the normal section, and the effect state can be set to the AT state in the advantageous section. However, even if the AT state ends, the advantageous section is immediately It does not end, and the advantageous section continues until the game state shifts to the BB state in the advantageous section and the production state returns to the non-AT state at the end of the BB state or the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value. However, even if the AT state ends, a situation occurs in which the effect state is set to the non-AT state and the player stays in the advantageous section. That is, in the present embodiment, there are a case where the user is staying in the normal section and a case where he is staying in the advantageous section in the non-AT state. Even when the production state is in the non-AT state while staying in the advantageous section, the AT lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery, but unlike the normal section, the lottery state of the AT lottery is a low probability state. And the high probability state, the AT probability is higher in the high probability state than in the low probability state, and the AT lottery is performed with a winning probability of about 1/64. That is, in the present embodiment, the normal section is a section in which the winning probability of AT lottery is fixed, and the advantageous section is the section in which the winning probability of AT lottery changes.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the advantageous section ends when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is set to the threshold value when the effect state is the AT state. Even if it has not reached, the AT state is forcibly ended by the initialization processing and the effect state is initialized to the non-AT state. Even if the rendering state is the AT preparation state, if the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, the AT preparation state is forcibly ended without shifting to the AT state, and the rendering state is set by the initialization process. Are initialized to a non-AT state. That is, in the present embodiment, the situation in which it is advantageous for the player to perform the initialization processing based on the value of the clear counter 1917 is prevented from continuing for a long time. The threshold value of the clear counter 1917 can be set so that the number of medals acquired in the advantageous section (the difference between the number of inserted medals and the number of paid-out medals) does not exceed a predetermined number. The number of medals to be acquired in is set not to exceed 3000. Specifically, the threshold value of the clear counter 1917 is a value corresponding to the number of games played, which is calculated by 3000 sheets/inclination value. Here, the inclination value is an expected value of the net increase in the number of medals per game by the assist time game and the bonus game, and in the present embodiment, the highest payout rate out of the six setting values of setting 1 to setting 6. In setting 6 where the expected value is high, the inclination value is 2 sheets. Therefore, the number of games in the advantageous section of the present embodiment is 1500 times (=3000 pieces/2 pieces), and 1500 times after the clear counter 1917 is set to "1" with the shift to the advantageous section. The threshold is set so that the advantageous section is ended when the number of games is counted. In this way, the period of the advantageous section depends on the upper limit of the number of medals to be obtained and the inclination value, and can be set arbitrarily according to these designs. It should be noted that the threshold value of the clear counter 1917 can be an arbitrary value as long as the maximum number of games in the advantageous section is 1500 times or less, and may be a fixed value that does not depend on the inclination value.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the BB state, it is possible to perform a bonus game in which the winning probability of a small winning combination is higher than in the normal state, and the effect state is AT in the advantageous section. If it is in the state, it is possible to play an assist time game in which the correct batting order is notified when the batting order bell is elected, and it is possible to win an eight-small winning combination more easily than in the non-AT state. By the bonus game and the assist time game in the AT state in the advantageous section, the game property that the player increases the number of medals in his hand is provided. Then, in the present embodiment, when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value while staying in the BB state in the advantageous section, it does not matter whether the ending condition is satisfied for the BB state. Instead, the advantageous section is ended and the initialization process is executed to return to the normal section where the assist time game cannot be performed. As described above, in the present embodiment, the continuation of the advantageous section where the assist time game can be performed is limited, and particularly when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, even in the middle of the BB state. Since the initialization process is performed to return to the normal section, it is possible to prevent excessive acquisition of medals in the advantageous section, which greatly exceeds the designed expected value of 3000 coins.

In particular, in the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, AT lottery is performed to determine whether or not the advantageous section is started, and the AT lottery performed when the big bonus (BB) is won. If you don't win, the normal section will be maintained until the BB state that shifts with the winning of the big bonus (BB) ends until you win the big bonus (BB). When the AT lottery performed is won, the advantageous section is started with the winning of the big bonus (BB), and the clear counter 1917 is updated. That is, in the present embodiment, for the winning of the big bonus (BB) associated with the shift to the advantageous section where the assist time game can be performed, the clear counter in the BB state where the big bonus (BB) shifts due to winning By updating the value of 1917, it is possible to appropriately adjust the amount of medals acquired in the advantageous section and suppress the shooting ability.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is always continued even after the big bonus (BB) is won, and the BB state to be shifted by the big bonus (BB) is always. The value of the clear counter 1917 is updated by setting the advantageous interval. By doing so, medals acquired in the BB state that are transferred by winning the big bonus (BB) won in the advantageous section are also included in the medals acquired in the advantageous section. It is possible to prevent an excessive number of medals from being exceeded by exceeding the expected acquisition value of 3000 cards.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the normal state, an internal lottery is performed with the big bonus (BB) as the lottery target, and as shown in FIG. 14(A), the big bonus (BB) is won. Based on the transition to the BB established state based on the winning of the big bonus (BB), the state is changed to the BB state based on the winning of the big bonus (BB). However, as shown in FIG. While performing the AT lottery, when the gaming state is the BB established state or the BB state, the AT lottery is not executed even in the normal section. For example, in the BB established state, a winning mode of cherry, watermelon A, or common bell may be obtained in the internal lottery, but even if these winning modes are obtained, the gaming state is the BB established state. As a result, the AT lottery is not executed, and in the BB state, any winning mode of cherry, watermelon A, common bell, and big bonus (BB) is not obtained, so the AT lottery is not executed. Absent. That is, after the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, if the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is not won, the winning big bonus (BB) is won to win the big bonus. In a gaming machine in which an assist time game can be performed while a big bonus (BB) is provided as a lottery target because an opportunity to transition to an advantageous section cannot be obtained until the BB state that is transitioned due to a bonus (BB) winning is ended. It is possible to give the player an incentive to actively win the won big bonus (BB). Also, in the BB state, in order to perform a bonus game in which the winning probability of the small winning combination is increased, if the AT lottery is performed even in the BB state in the specification in which the AT lottery is performed depending on the winning mode of some small winning roles, it is Although the winning probability of the AT lottery will substantially fluctuate, in the present embodiment, when the game state is the BB state, the AT lottery is not performed even in the normal section. Thus, the fairness of the game can be ensured by keeping the winning probability of the AT lottery in the normal section constant.

In the BB established state, the AT lottery may not be performed because the winning mode that triggers the AT lottery cannot be obtained. For example, the AT lottery is performed only when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state. According to this structure, since the winning mode in which the big bonus (BB) is won is not obtained in the BB established state, it is possible to prevent the AT lottery. In the BB state, there is a case where a winning mode can be obtained even in the normal state, but the AT lottery may not be performed because the game state is not the normal state (because it is the BB state). For example, an internal lottery table is provided so that the win mode of watermelon A, cherry, and common bell can be obtained even in the BB state, and even if watermelon A, cherry, and common bell are won in the internal lottery in the BB state, the gaming state is usually. Since it is not in the state, it is possible to prevent the AT lottery from being performed.

Although the value of the clear counter 1917 is updated in the BB established state even in the advantageous section, it is preferable that the AT lottery and the additional lottery are not performed. In this way, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the clear counter 1917 continues to be updated without being able to receive the AT lottery or the additional lottery until the big bonus (BB) is won. It is possible to give the player motivation to positively win the won big bonus (BB).

Further, in the present embodiment, even if the gaming state is in the middle of the BB state based on the end of the advantageous zone, the probability of winning the AT lottery is fixed while suppressing the emissivity by performing the initialization process. It is possible to attract a player's interest by providing a new game property of providing a section in which the winning probability of the AT lottery changes.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is executed when the user stays in the normal section in the normal state. However, in the normal state, the type of replay targeted for the lottery or the replay target of the lottery is determined according to the RT state. While the winning probabilities are different, the winning probabilities of small wins (Battle Order Bell 1-Battle Order Bell 9, Watermelon A, Watermelon B, Watermelon C, Cherry, Common Bell) and Big Bonus (BB) will vary depending on the RT state. It is constant regardless of the change of the RT state, and the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change is adopted as an opportunity to execute the AT lottery. Especially in the normal section, watermelon A, cherry, common bell, or big is used in the internal lottery. The AT lottery is performed when the bonus (BB) is won. That is, in the present embodiment, in the normal section, the AT lottery can be performed only when the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change due to the change of the RT state is obtained, so that the RT state can be changed to any RT state. Even if players are replaced in the situation of staying, the opportunity to receive the AT lottery can be impartially given, and the fairness at the time of replacement of players in the normal section is guaranteed. can do.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to set the setting value among the setting values of 6 stages of setting 1 to setting 6, so that the probability obtained by the internal lottery for some winning modes varies according to the setting value. However, in the winning mode that triggers the execution of the AT lottery in the normal section, the watermelon A, cherry, common bell, and big bonus (BB) are all winning modes in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value. Has become. In particular, in the present embodiment, watermelon A, watermelon B, and watermelon C are provided as a winning mode of a watermelon including three small wins, and when the three small wins are won, as shown in FIG. 17, the first reel R1 The upper row, the middle row of the second reel R2, and the lower row of the third reel R3 are formed by the watermelon symbol A "WMA" and the watermelon symbol B "WMB" in the downward-sloping invalid line (line not used for winning determination). There is a stop mode of the right-downed watermelon lineup that displays the symbol combination that appears, but the winning probability for watermelon A is the same for all set values, while for watermelon B and watermelon C it is set. The winning probability changes according to the value.

That is, in the present embodiment, the probability of appearance of the watermelon-equipped stop mode varies depending on the set value, but even when the watermelon-equipped stop manner appears, AT lottery is performed only when the watermelon A wins. Therefore, even if the appearance rate of three small wins is changed according to the set value, the AT lottery is performed with a certain probability without being affected by the set value in the normal section, and the advantageous section is set in any set value. It is possible to change the expectation degree of the AT lottery in the normal section at the time of winning the small winning combination of three cards according to the set value, while giving the same opportunity to shift to. Further, in the present embodiment, when the production state is the AT state in the advantageous section, the additional lottery is performed when the watermelon A is elected, but the additional lottery is not performed when the watermelon B or watermelon C is elected. That is, in the present embodiment, since the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value is set as the winning mode that triggers the execution of the additional lottery, the opportunity for the additional lottery in the advantageous section is set in any setting value. Can be given equally.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the winning performance of the medals associated with the assist time game is set to the set value while changing the probability that the winning mode including the small winning combination of three pieces is obtained in the internal lottery according to the set value. In addition, the appearance of a right-down watermelon line-up stop mode that indicates the winning of three small wins leads to expectations for the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section and the expectation for addition in AT state, It is possible to realize a game specification in which the expectation of winning of the AT lottery or the additional lottery differs depending on the set value when the stop mode of watermelon gathering appears.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the expected value for winning the three small wins changes according to the set value, so that the difference in the winning probability depending on the set value of the watermelon B or the watermelon C is the payout for each set value. While affecting the rate, the winning probability of the watermelon A does not change due to a change in the set value, but it functions as an execution trigger for the AT lottery and the additional lottery. That is, according to the present embodiment, the probability of obtaining a part of the winning mode is changed according to the setting value, but the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the setting value is changed from the normal section to the advantageous section. By changing the AT ball drawing rate according to the set value by changing the AT payout rate according to the set value by making it a trigger to execute the AT lottery related to the transition and the number of times the assist time game is executed in the advantageous section It is possible to realize a specification in which the winning probability of the AT lottery related to the transition of the advantageous zone and the additional lottery for increasing the number of times of executing the assist time game in the advantageous zone is constant.

In the present embodiment, the probability that the winning mode of the watermelon is obtained increases from setting 1 to setting 6, and the higher the setting value is, the higher the appearance rate of the stopping mode of the watermelon assembling indicating the winning of the watermelon is, Since the winning probability of the watermelon A that triggers the execution of the AT lottery and the additional lottery is constant regardless of the setting value, and the winning probability of the AT lottery or the additional lottery based on the winning of the watermelon A is also constant regardless of the setting value. As a result, the lower the set value, the higher the expectation of winning in the AT lottery and the additional lottery when the appearance of stopping watermelon gathering appears.

However, unlike the present embodiment, the higher the set value, the higher the expectation of winning the AT lottery or the additional lottery can be configured. For example, as shown in FIG. Cherry A, Cherry B, and Cherry C are provided as winning modes of cherries including the winning combination (small winning combination 7), and these are set as winning modes in the internal lottery in the normal state, the RB established state, and the BB established state. .. Since the winning mode of Cherry A, Cherry B, and Cherry C is a mode in which two small wins and one small win are duplicated, when these winning modes are obtained, two small wins are given priority. The stop position of each reel is determined so that one small win may be won when two small wins cannot be won.

In the normal state, the RB established state, and the BB established state, the probability that the winning mode of each cherry can be obtained by the internal lottery is not changed. In this case, the cherry A is set as a winning mode that triggers the AT lottery in the normal section and the additional lottery in the advantageous section, while the cherry B and the cherry C are not triggered in the AT lottery and the additional lottery. As shown in FIG. 18B, the winning probability of cherry A does not change at any setting value, and the winning probability of cherry B and cherry C changes according to the setting value. To configure. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 18(B), the higher the set value, the lower the probability of winning one of the cherries in the internal lottery, and the higher the set value is, the higher the set value is, the smaller two-winning prize is won. It is possible to increase the expectation of winning in the AT lottery in the normal section and the additional lottery in the advantageous section.

In the present embodiment, the expectation of winning the AT lottery or the additional lottery at the time of winning a predetermined winning combination whose winning probability changes according to the set value is changed, but the AT lottery or the additional lottery is not always required. It does not have to be configured to change the expected winning rate.

For example, a batting order unquestioned bell is provided as a winning mode in which an eight-piece winning combination (small winning combination 6) and a two-piece winning combination (small winning combination 8) are duplicated. The higher the set value and the higher the set value, the higher the probability that the batting order unquestioned bell will be obtained in the internal lottery. When the batting order unquestioned bell is won, the AT lottery and the additional lottery are not performed, and the eight small wins are always won regardless of the stop operation in any mode. That is, depending on the batting order regardless of bell, two small wins will not be won. On the other hand, for cherries in which two small wins are individually won (there is no single win as long as the two small wins can be won), the winning probability does not change depending on the set value. The AT lottery is performed when the cherry is won in the normal section, and the additional lottery is performed when the cherry is won in the advantageous section. In this way, in the internal lottery, as a winning mode including a small winning combination, if a batting order independence bell whose winning probability changes according to a set value and a cherry whose winning probability does not change depending on the setting value are provided, 8 It is possible to have the expectation that the winning of the AT lottery and the additional lottery can be expected when the small prize is won, and the expectation of the AT lottery and the additional lottery can be expected when the small prize is won.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the game history of winning the batting order bell in three consecutive games is achieved, the addition value is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915. In the form, the winning probability of the batting order bell does not change depending on the set value. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the number of times the assist time game is executed may increase according to the game history in the advantageous section, an increase in the number of times the assist time game is executed is associated with the degree of advantage associated with the assist time game. However, the batting order bell, which is related to the judgment of whether or not the addition condition is satisfied in the game history, does not change the winning probability depending on the set value, so an opportunity to increase the number of times the assist time game is executed. It is possible to prevent the frequency of obtaining the value from being influenced by the set value, and prevent the advantage degree associated with the assist time game from changing according to the set value.

In the present embodiment, when the game history relating to winning the batting order bell in three consecutive games satisfies a predetermined condition, the addition value is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 regardless of the addition lottery. However, the additional lottery may be performed as a process for increasing the number of times the assist time game is executed based on the fact that the game history satisfies the predetermined condition, and the AT ends when the additional lottery is won. The addition value may be added to the value of the determination counter 1915.

Further, in the present embodiment, the game history information is updated by treating the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9 as nine batting order bells without distinguishing the winning manners, and updating the game history information. Benefits such as updating the game history information so that the types can be distinguished so that when the batting order bell of the same type is included in the game history in three consecutive games, the added value at the time of addition is high May be given. In addition, even when the additional lottery is performed by consecutively winning the batting order bell, if the batting order bell of the same type is included, it is possible to give a privilege such as performing the additional lottery so that the winning probability becomes high.

In addition, a process for changing the advantage degree associated with the assist time game may be performed based on the fact that a specific winning combination has been won so as to satisfy a predetermined condition in the game history related to a plurality of games. For example, in the present embodiment, when the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order when the batting order bell is won, it is possible to win a small winning combination of 8 pieces, so that 8 pieces can be won in each of three consecutive games. The addition value may be added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 when the small winning combination is won.

In addition, the lottery state of the additional lottery that is performed when the watermelon A, cherry, and common bell are won in the internal lottery in the assist time game can be changed between multiple types of lottery states, and the batting order bell in three consecutive games The lottery state of the additional lottery may be changed when the game history relating to winning satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, the addition probability is about 1/16, the addition probability is low, the addition probability is about 1/4, the addition probability is about 1/4, and the addition probability is about 1. If the super-high probability state is set to /2, and the low-probability state is set as the initial state, the high-probability probability is obtained when a game history is obtained in which the batting order bell is won in each of three consecutive games. The state may be changed so that the lottery state is promoted in the order of the super-high-probability state, and when the extra lottery is performed, the lottery state may fall to the initial low-probability state.

In this way, depending on the game history in the advantageous section, the lottery state of the additional lottery that is executed only in the advantageous section may change, so that in the advantageous section where the assist time game can be executed The change in the lottery state of the additional lottery affects the degree of advantage associated with the assist time game, but the batting order bell that is related to the decision whether to change the lottery state in the game history depends on the set value Since it does not change, it is possible to prevent the change in the lottery state of the additional lottery in the advantageous section from being influenced by the set value.

Further, in the present embodiment, the advantage degree associated with the assist time game is changed by referring to the game history that the batting order bell has been won three times in a row and changing the advantage degree. A configuration in which the degree of advantage associated with the assist time game changes without relying on consecutive wins in which the batting order bell is won M times (M<N: M and N are all natural numbers) May be adopted. For example, the game history storage unit 1916 can store the game history related to the most recent five games, and the batting order bell winning information (or winning information for eight small wins) exists three times in the five game history. You may make it a structure which performs addition.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of bonuses are provided and some of the bonuses are won, it may be an opportunity to shift to the advantageous section, but the rest of the bonuses are not triggered to be shifted to the advantageous section. .. Specifically, by providing a regular bonus (RB) and a big bonus (BB), the AT lottery is not carried out in the normal section when the regular bonus (RB) is won, and the AT is drawn in the normal section when the big bonus (BB) is won. A lottery is conducted, and it is configured to shift to an advantageous section by winning the AT lottery. In this way, even if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the normal section, the AT lottery is not performed even in the normal section in the RB established state or the RB state, so the regular bonus (RB) won in the normal section is Even if you win, the RB state that does not shift to the advantageous section but shifts due to regular bonus (RB) winning is set to the normal section, and if you win the big bonus (BB) and win the AT lottery in the normal section, The BB state that shifts due to the winning of the big bonus (BB) is set to the advantageous section.

In this embodiment, since the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB) changes according to the set value, when the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section, the advantageous section is maintained even in the RB state. However, if there is no difference in the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB), the regular bonus (RB) win or win in the advantageous section is used as the end condition of the advantageous section. Can be configured to always be set to the normal section.

Then, as in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of bonuses are provided, and some bonuses can be an opportunity to shift to the advantageous section, but the remaining bonuses are not an opportunity to transition to the advantageous section. As shown in FIG. 8(B), with respect to the regular bonus (RB) that does not trigger the shift to the advantageous section, the winning probability in the internal lottery may change according to the set value, but the trigger to shift to the advantageous section. As for the big bonus (BB) that can be, the winning probability in the internal lottery is not changed depending on the set value, and the winning probability is changed according to the set value due to the difference in the winning probability according to the set value provided for the bonus. It is possible to prevent the setting difference from occurring in the transition rate to the advantageous section while changing the rate. Further, in the present embodiment, even if a regular bonus (RB) with a difference in winning probability is won, additional lottery is not performed in the advantageous section, and when the winning mode with no difference in winning probability is obtained, the additional lottery is performed. Since it is performed, it is possible to evenly give the opportunity to add in the advantageous section regardless of the set value, and it is possible to prevent the degree of advantage associated with the assist time game from changing according to the set value. it can.

Further, in the present embodiment, the case has been described as an example where the regular bonus (RB) and the big bonus (BB) provided as bonuses are individually won, but the bonus and the small win overlap. There are multiple types of winning modes that include the same bonus, such as a winning mode in which the bonus and replay are won, and some of the multiple winning modes that include these same bonuses. The winning probability changes according to the set value, and the winning probability does not change for the remaining winning modes depending on the setting value.The higher the setting value, the higher the winning probability of the bonus. May be. In this case as well, when a bonus winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value is obtained, AT lottery and additional lottery can be executed, while the winning mode of the bonus in which the winning probability changes according to the set value If it is obtained, the AT lottery and the additional lottery are not executed. In this way, the winning mode of bonuses with different settings does not affect the medal acquisition performance associated with the assist time game, but the bonus machine medal acquisition performance does not affect the medal acquisition performance of the gaming machine. A setting difference can be provided. For example, a single bonus mode in which the regular bonus (RB) is independently won and a duplicate win mode in which the regular bonus (RB) is normally overlapped with the Replay 1 are provided, and the single win mode depends on the set value. Although the AT lottery and the additional lottery will not be triggered, the overlap win mode will not change the winning probability depending on the set value, and if the AT lottery or the additional lottery is triggered, the regular bonus ( While changing the winning probability of (RB) according to the set value, a lottery for increasing the number of times of execution of the assist time game in the advantageous zone in the winning mode including the regular bonus (RB) is executed. Will be able to.

Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous section notification is not performed in the normal section, and the advantageous section notification is provided in the advantageous section, and the section indicator SEC is provided which can identify whether or not the operator stays in the advantageous section. Specifically, by making the lighting state of the LED built into the section indicator SEC different from that of the normal section in the advantageous section, it is notified that the user is staying in the advantageous section, and the AT lottery can be executed in the advantageous section. Depending on the situation, it is possible to know whether the player is staying in the normal section or the advantageous section. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the players from being switched in the advantageous section in which the winning probability of the AT lottery varies, and to secure the fairness of the game.

In particular, in the present embodiment, when the AT lottery performed at the time of winning the big bonus (BB) is won, the advantageous section is continued after the end of the BB state which shifts with the winning of the big bonus (BB). The assist time game can be played by the player, and whether the player stays in the normal section or the advantageous section in the BB state can be identified by the lighting state of the section display SEC, so that the assist time game can be performed after the BB state ends. It is possible to prevent the situation in which the players are replaced with the end of the BB state despite the fact that the game can be performed, and it is possible to ensure the fairness of the game.

In the present embodiment, the AT lottery has two kinds of lottery states, that is, the low probability state and the high probability state. However, the AT lottery has three or more kinds of lottery states, and a plurality of kinds of lottery states that are not selected in the normal section in the advantageous section. It may be variable between the two. For example, in addition to the high-probability state, it is possible to provide an ultra-high-probability state (for example, the winning probability is about 1/32) that is easier to win in the AT lottery than the high-probability state. May be switched between the super-high probability state.

In the advantageous section, the lottery state of the AT lottery may not be set according to the RT state, but the lottery state may be changed by performing the lottery state transition lottery. For example, when the cherry, watermelon A, and common bell are won, a lottery state transition lottery may be performed to select the low-probability state or the high-probability state. Alternatively, the lottery state may be changed according to the winning combination in the internal lottery. For example, the high probability state may be set when the cherry, the watermelon A, and the common bell are won, and the low probability state may be set when the player loses. Further, when the batting order bell is elected, a high probability state may be set when the stop operation is performed in the correct answer order, and a low probability state may be set when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer order.

In addition, as a high probability state, there is a first high probability state that is easy to win when cherry is won, a second high probability state that is easy to win when watermelon A is won, and a third high probability state that is easy to win when common bell is won. Sometimes it shifts to the first high probability state, when the watermelon A wins it shifts to the second high probability state, when it wins the common bell it shifts to the third high probability state and when the same lottery trigger continues, it wins the AT lottery It may be configured to be easy. Specifically, when cherry, watermelon A, and common bell are won in the game in the advantageous section and in the non-AT state, the winning information is stored in the game history storage means 1916, and the winning stored in the game history storage means 1916. If the information is cherry, the first high-probability state is set, and if the winning information stored in the game history storage means 1916 is watermelon A, the second high-probability state is set and stored in the game history storage means 1916. If the winning information being won is the common bell, the third high probability state can be set. That is, the lottery state of the AT lottery in the advantageous section may be changed according to the past game history in the game in the advantageous section and the non-AT state. In this way, the lottery state of the AT lottery in the advantageous zone may change according to the game history in the advantageous zone, and thus the change in the lottery state of the AT lottery is related to whether or not the assist time game can be executed. Although it affects the attached advantage degree, the winning probability of cherry, watermelon A, and common bell, which are involved in determining whether or not the variation condition of the lottery state is satisfied in the game history, do not change depending on the set value. The change in the lottery state of the AT lottery in the advantageous section can be prevented from being affected by the set value. In the above example, the lottery state is changed based on the winning information of cherry, watermelon A, and common bell in the past game history, but the lottery state is changed based on winning information of the winning combination in the past game history. For example, when the winning information stored in the game history storage means 1916 is a small winning combination of two pieces, the first high probability state is set, and the winning information stored in the game history storage means 1916. If the winning combination stored in the game history storage means 1916 is 14 pieces, the third high probability state is set. Good. However, it is impossible to distinguish whether the winning information of the three small wins is based on the watermelon A having no setting difference or the watermelon B or watermelon C having the setting difference. Therefore, depending on the winning information in the game history. When changing the lottery state, the winning probability of each of the watermelons A, B and C does not change depending on the set value, or there is one type of winning mode in which three small wins can be won, and the winning mode is set. It is necessary to prevent the winning probability from changing according to the set value, for example, to prevent the winning probability from changing in accordance with the set value.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds a predetermined value, or when the state shifts to the BB state in the advantageous section and returns to the non-AT state at the end of the BB state, the advantageous section is ended and initialized. Although the processing is executed, the advantageous section may be ended and the initialization processing may be executed on the condition that the predetermined RT state is entered without winning the AT lottery after the AT state is ended.

For example, when the transition to the non-RT state is the condition for the initialization process, when the symbol combination indicating the RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line in the AT end standby state, the state shifts to the non-AT state, but is cleared. If the counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the advantageous section continues, and the initialization processing is executed when the state of the non-RT state is entered due to the winning of a single hand without winning the AT lottery. By doing so, it is possible to generate a situation in which the user stays in the advantageous section even when the AT state ends and the non-AT state and the RT1 state.

Further, for example, if the transition to the RT1 state is a condition for the initialization process, the state of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value although the state of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value when one winning combination is won in the AT end standby state. If not, the advantageous section continues, and the initialization process is executed when the state shifts to the RT1 state because the symbol combination showing the RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line without winning the AT lottery. In this way, it is possible to generate a situation in which the user stays in the advantageous section when the non-AT state and the non-RT state are maintained even after the AT state ends.

Further, in this embodiment, when the batting order bell or batting order replay is won in the AT preparation state or the AT state, the privilege giving means 175 or batting order bell (when batting order bell is won) or batting order replay (when batting order replay is won). You may make it control to display the game information which shows the correct batting order according to the kind of, the game information which shows the result of an internal lottery, or the game information which shows a winning combination on the game information display part DS. In this case, the game information can be displayed while the reels are rotating on a credit display device that displays the number of medals credits or a payout display device that displays the number of medals paid out in the game information display section DS. When the credit indicator or the payout indicator is also used as the instruction indicator for displaying the operation instruction information regarding the stop operation, the section indicator SEC may also be used. For example, when the credit indicator or the payout indicator is composed of a 7-segment indicator, operation instruction information is shown in a 7-segment display mode for displaying numbers and the like, and a dot display section for displaying a decimal point or the like is turned on. It may be possible to indicate whether or not the user stays in the advantageous section by turning off the light.

Further, in the present embodiment, for the AT lottery and the additional lottery, the random number for the internal lottery is used to determine the win or failure. May be determined by referring to a lottery table in which a dedicated random number value is acquired and the acquired random number value is associated with either winning or losing.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT end determination counter 1915 is decremented and updated in the AT state, but it may be incremented and updated. For example, based on winning the AT lottery, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to an initial value “0”, and in the AT state, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is set every time a game is played. Incremental update is performed to add a constant value "1" corresponding to one game, and the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the number of games of 50:50 times). The AT state may be terminated based on the above. In addition, in this example, when the additional lottery is won (when the predetermined condition is satisfied), the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated by subtracting a given value (the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1915 may be updated so that the number of counts before reaching the threshold value increases. Alternatively, a given value may be added to the threshold value to end the AT state. The threshold value as the condition is reset (updated) (the threshold value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is set so that the number of counts before the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value from the current value increases). May be updated).

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT end determination counter 1915 counts the number of games in the AT state, but the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated according to the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals. The end of the AT state may be managed by a so-called difference number obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals from the number of paid-out items. For example, based on winning the AT lottery, a value “100” corresponding to 100 medals, which is the difference in number in the AT state, is set in the AT end determination counter 1915, and once in the AT state. Each time the game is played, an increment update is performed to add a value corresponding to the number of inserted medals (specified number of insertions) to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915, and when the small win is won and the medals are paid out. Decrement update is performed to subtract a value corresponding to the number of paid out medals from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915, and the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 has reached a threshold value (for example, 0) (if less than the threshold value. It is also possible to terminate the AT state on the basis of the fact that). Further, in this example, when the addition lottery is won (when the predetermined condition is satisfied), a given addition value is added to the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 (the AT end determination counter 1915 is set to the threshold value from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1915 may be updated so that the number of counts until the time reaches is increased.

In addition, for example, based on winning the AT lottery, the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is initialized to an initial value “0”, and in the AT state, the number of medals inserted (regular insertion) every time a game is played. The AT end determination counter 1915 is updated by decrementing by subtracting a value corresponding to the AT end determination counter 1915 from the value of the AT end determination counter 1915. Is incremented and updated, and the stored value of the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the difference number of 100:100 sheets) (beyond the threshold value). ), the AT state may be terminated. In addition, in this example, when the additional lottery is won (when the predetermined condition is satisfied), the value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated by subtracting a given value (the AT end determination counter 1915 is updated from the current value). The value of the AT end determination counter 1915 may be updated so that the number of counts before reaching the threshold value increases. Alternatively, a given value may be added to the threshold value to end the AT state. The threshold value as the condition is reset (updated) (the threshold value of the AT end determination counter 1915 is set so that the number of counts before the AT end determination counter 1915 reaches the threshold value from the current value increases). May be updated).

Further, in the present embodiment, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is set in the clear counter 1917 along with the shift to the advantageous section, and in the advantageous section, the update is started from the state where the value of the clear counter 1917 is "1". However, the value of the clear counter 1917 starts to be updated from the initial value “0”, and the advantageous interval is ended when the value of the clear counter 1917 reaches the threshold value “1500”. It may be allowed to.

Further, in the present embodiment, the clear counter 1917 is incremented and updated in the advantageous section, but it may be decremented and updated. For example, based on winning the AT lottery, the clear counter 1917 is set to a value “1500” corresponding to 1500 times, which is the number of games that is the end condition of the advantageous section, and one game is played in the advantageous section. Each time it is played, decrement update is performed by subtracting a constant value "1" corresponding to one game from the value of the clear counter 1917, and based on the value stored in the clear counter 1917 reaching a threshold value (for example, 0). The advantageous section may be ended by ending.

In the present embodiment, the clear counter 1917 is updated each time a game is played, and the value of the clear counter 1917 corresponds to the number of games in the advantageous section. It may be updated according to the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals. By doing so, it is possible to manage whether or not to end the advantageous section with a so-called difference number (obtained number) obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals from the number of paid out medals.

For example, based on winning the AT lottery, the clear counter 1917 is set to a value of “3000” corresponding to 3000 medals, which is the difference number that is the condition for ending the advantageous section, and one game is played in the advantageous section. Each time is performed, an increment update is performed to add a value corresponding to the number of inserted medals (specified number of insertions) to the value of the clear counter 1917. Decrement update is performed by subtracting the value corresponding to the value from the value of the clear counter 1917, and it is advantageous based on that the value of the clear counter 1917 has reached a threshold value (for example, 0) (being less than the threshold value). The section may be ended.

Further, for example, a predetermined value (for example, 3) is set in the clear counter 1917 based on winning the AT lottery, and in the advantageous section, the number of inserted medals (specified number of insertions) every time one game is played. Decrement update is performed by subtracting the value corresponding to the clear counter 1917 from the value of the clear counter 1917, and the increment corresponding to the value of the clear counter 1917 is added to the value corresponding to the payout number of medals when the small winning combination is won and the medals are paid out. The update is performed, and the advantageous section is ended based on that the value of the clear counter 1917 has reached a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the difference number of 3000:3000 sheets) (or has exceeded the threshold value). You may do it. In this example, the clear counter 1917 is not set to a predetermined value when the AT lottery is won, and the clear counter 1917 is updated from the initial value “0” in the advantageous section to reach the threshold value “3000”. The advantageous section may be ended on the basis of what has been done (or has exceeded “3000”).

When counting the number of medals difference in the AT end determination counter 1915 and the clear counter 1917, when the replay is won, the payout number of medals is treated as “0”, and the next game of the game in which the replay is won ( In the replay, it is desirable that the number of inserted medals is treated as "0" and the counter is not updated.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is performed when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, but the AT lottery is not performed when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, and the BB state is set in the advantageous section. If it is, AT lottery may be performed. To be more specific, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, the AT lottery is not performed, so that the player stays in the normal section in the BB state that is shifted by winning the big bonus (BB). However, if the player wins the big bonus (BB) in the advantageous section, and if the value of the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the player stays in the advantageous section in the BB state that is shifted by winning the big bonus (BB). In this case, the AT lottery can be executed in the game in the BB state. In this case, the internal lottery table referred to in the BB state may be provided with winning modes such as cherry and watermelon A, and the AT lottery may be performed when these winning modes are obtained. Since the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB) varies depending on the set value, even if the player stays in the RB state in the advantageous section, the AT lottery is not performed in this RB state. By doing so, it is possible to provide a gaming specification in which the AT lottery cannot be taken in the BB state in the normal section, but the AT lottery can be taken in the BB state in the advantageous section. When a big bonus (BB) is won in a situation where an assist time game is being played in an advantageous section, an additional lottery is performed instead of the AT lottery in the BB state in which the big bonus (BB) is changed along with winning. On the other hand, if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the situation where the assist time game is being played in the advantageous section, on the other hand, if the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) is added in the RB state in which the bonus is transferred. The lottery may not be performed. When the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in the BB state in the advantageous section, the advantageous section ends and the initialization process is performed even if the ending condition of the BB state is not satisfied, and the normal section In the BB state, even though the player could take the AT lottery by staying in the advantageous section before the initialization process in the BB state, by staying in the normal section after the initialization process Since it is not possible to take the AT lottery in the BB state, it is possible to prevent the advantageous section from unnecessarily continuing for a long time.

Further, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of the small winning combination is increased in the BB state, but in the BB state, the lottery flags of all the small winning combinations are forcibly set to the winning state regardless of the result of the internal lottery. In the game in the BB state, the bonus game may be performed by making the pull-in range narrower than the other reels with respect to any one or more of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

In this case, when the gaming state is the BB state, the rotation of the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 corresponding to the pressed stop button is within 190 ms from the time of pressing the stop buttons B1 and B2. The inner reel stops, but for the third reel R3, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 75 ms after the stop button B3 is pressed. When the rotating third reel R3 is stopped within 75 ms after the stop button is pressed, the rotating reel 3 is stopped at the stop position when the stop button B3 is pressed. The number of frames required to execute is determined in the range of 0 to 1 frame (predetermined pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130 corresponds to the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the winning state on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button B3 that is pressed in the BB state. If the symbol is located within the range of 0 to 1 frame with respect to the display position on the activated line when the stop button B3 is pressed, the lottery flag is set to the winning state. Control is performed to stop the rotating third reel R3 corresponding to the stop button B3 that was pressed so that the corresponding symbol is displayed at the display position on the activated line.

In this mode, it is possible to perform a game in which the small win is always won in each game in the BB state, and the player holds the game in the BB state and the assist time game in the advantageous section. We provide amusement by increasing the number of media. Then, also in this mode, the continuation of the advantageous section in which the assist time game can be performed is limited, and when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value, a predetermined initial value is set even in the middle of the BB state. It is possible to prevent excessive acquisition of medals in the advantageous section by exceeding the designed expected acquisition value by performing the conversion process to return to the normal section. It becomes possible to adjust the performance and suppress the emissivity.

In addition, an internal lottery table is provided so that the batting bell can be won in the RB state or the BB state, and when the batting order bell is won in the RB state or the BB state, a winning assistance is provided to notify the correct batting order In the normal section, in the RB state and the BB state, it may be prohibited to perform the winning assistance production at the time of winning the batting order bell and not notify the correct batting order.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the AT termination condition based on the value of the AT termination determination counter 1915 is satisfied, the AT termination waiting state is entered and the non-AT state is entered, but the AT termination waiting state is not provided. Alternatively, when the termination condition of the AT state is satisfied, the state may be changed to the non-AT state regardless of the RT state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT lottery is performed in the non-AT state to determine whether or not to shift to the AT state. However, the CZ state is provided as the effect state, and the AT lottery is not performed in the non-AT state. It is determined whether or not to shift to the CZ state (another example of the special effect state), the AT lottery is performed in the CZ state, and the effect state is shifted to the AT state based on winning the AT lottery. May be. Even when the CZ state is provided, the effect state is fixed to the non-AT state in the normal section, the CZ state can be set in the advantageous section, and the non-AT state does not include the CZ state.

FIG. 19 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine in the embodiment in which the CZ state is provided as the effect state.

In this aspect, the storage unit 190 is further provided with a CZ end determination counter 1920, and the privilege granting unit 175 allows the privilege granting unit 175 to perform a CZ lottery (specific lottery) according to the result of the internal lottery instead of the AT lottery when the effect state is the non-AT state. Another example) is performed, and the performance state is shifted to the CZ state as shown in FIG. 20 by winning the CZ lottery, and the AT lottery is performed according to the result of the internal lottery in the CZ state to shift to the AT state. Decide whether or not. The execution timing of the CZ lottery and the execution timing of the AT lottery may be the same or different. In the following, the execution timing of the CZ lottery is the common bell, watermelon A, cherry, and big bonus (BB) win, and the execution timing of the AT lottery is when the game history based on the batting order bell wins a predetermined condition. The explanation will be made assuming that the big bonus (BB) is won. Regarding the CZ lottery, the internal lottery is determined by referring to the CZ lottery table in which the random numbers associated with the common bell, watermelon A, cherry and big bonus (BB) are won or lost. For the AT lottery, the winning or non-winning is determined by referring to the AT lottery table in which the random number values associated with the batting order bell and the big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery are won or lost.

Further, in this mode, as a lottery state of the CZ lottery, it is possible to set a low probability state with a winning probability of about 1/32 (an example of initial probability) and a high probability state with a winning probability of about 1/8. In the lottery, the CZ lottery table according to the lottery state is referred to. That is, the CZ lottery table set so that the winning probability is higher when the lottery state is the high probability state than when the lottery state is the low probability state is referred to. The winning probability of the CZ lottery may be different depending on the winning mode in the internal lottery. In this case, the winning probability of the CZ lottery may be the same in the low probability state and the high probability state, or there may be a winning mode in which the winning probability of the CZ lottery is higher in the low probability state than in the high probability state. , If the total number of random numbers assigned to the winning of the CZ lottery has a relationship of “high probability state>low probability state”, the winning probability of the CZ lottery for each winning mode can be arbitrarily determined.

Then, the privilege granting means 175 sets a predetermined value (e.g., 8) corresponding to the number of games (e.g., 8 times) as an end condition to the CZ end determination counter 1920 when the CZ lottery is won, and the game in the CZ state is executed. A constant value (for example, 1) is subtracted from the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 each time the process is performed. Then, when the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied, and the effect state is returned to the non-AT state. On the other hand, when the AT lottery is won before the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaches the threshold value, the end condition of the CZ state is satisfied, and in this case, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is set to “0”. At the same time, after the end of the CZ state, it shifts to the AT preparation state. In the CZ state, the winning assistance production is performed when the batting order bell is won, but the winning assistance production related to the batting order replay is not performed. That is, the CZ state is positioned as a simple AT state. Further, in the CZ state, the game history storage means 1916 is provided with a storage area corresponding to a total of two games, one game in the past and the current game, and a game history indicating whether or not the batting order bell is won in each storage area. Information is stored, and when any batting order bell is won in the game in the CZ state, information indicating that the batting order bell is won in this game is stored in a given storage area of the game history storage means 1916 and the game is played. Update history information. In this example as well, nine types of batting order bell winning modes (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 9) are provided, but the gaming history information is treated as winning batting order bells without distinguishing the types. .. Then, in the next game, the game history information indicating whether or not the batting order bell is won is stored in a storage area different from that of the previous game, and the game is updated twice in the previous game and the current game. The game history storage means 1916 is updated so that the game history information is stored in another storage area. In the present embodiment, the AT lottery is performed when the game history information regarding the two games stored in the game history storage means 1916 obtained as described above indicates that the batting order bell is won. Also, the AT lottery is performed even when the big bonus (BB) is won in the CZ state. If it is based on the game history of winning the batting order bell, about 1/2 is won in the AT lottery, and if it is based on the time of winning the big bonus (BB), the AT lottery is always won.

As described above, in this example, whether or not to execute the assist time game is determined according to the game history regarding the winning of the batting order bell in the advantageous section, but the transition condition to the AT state in which the assist time game is performed in the game history is set. Since the batting order bell, which is the winning mode involved in determining whether or not the game is satisfied, does not change the winning probability depending on the set value, so that whether or not the assist time game can be performed is not affected by the set value. can do.

In addition, as a method of determining the continuous winning of the batting order bell, the winning number of the batting order bell may be counted as the game history information and stored in the game history storage means 1916, which corresponds to, for example, the winning number of the batting order bell. When the value is counted up from the initial value "0" until the threshold value "2" is reached, when the batting order bell is won, the value corresponding to the number of times of winning is set to a constant value "1" so as to approach the threshold value "2". The batting order bell corresponds to the batting order bell winning number by updating so that the value corresponding to the winning number is reset to the initial value “0” when the batting order bell is not won. When the value reaches the threshold value “2”, it may be determined that the batting order bell has been won twice in succession as a game history in two consecutive games. It should be noted that the number of times the batting order bell is won may be counted down instead of being counted up. In this case, when the batting order bell is won, a constant value “1” is set from the initial value “2” to the threshold value “0”. It may be updated so as to count down each time, and when the batting order bell is not won, it may be reset to the initial value “2”. Further, the AT lottery may be performed not based on the winning information of the batting order bell in the game history related to a plurality of games, but based on the winning information of eight small winning combinations in the game history related to a plurality of games, for example, As a game history in two consecutive games, the AT lottery may be performed by winning eight consecutive small wins two consecutive times.

When the CZ state ends without winning the AT lottery, the privilege granting means 175 restores the production state to the non-AT state, but the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds a predetermined value, or the BB state. The advantageous section is maintained unless the ending condition of any of the advantageous sections of returning the production state to the non-AT state at the end of is satisfied.

Then, the privilege granting means 175 sets the lottery state of the CZ lottery according to the RT state when staying in the non-AT state in the advantageous section, and the RT state is either the non-RT state or the RT1 state. The lottery state of the CZ lottery is set to the low probability state, and the lottery state of the CZ lottery is set to the high probability state when the RT state is either the RT2 state or the RT3 state.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 21, the advantageous section is started by winning the CZ lottery in the normal section, and the advantageous section can be maintained even after the end of the CZ state, and the privilege is awarded based on the end of the advantageous section. The initialization processing is performed by the means 175.

In particular, in this example, as shown in FIG. 21, if the player wins the CZ lottery in the normal section and shifts to the advantageous section, the AT section is selected in the advantageous section to play the game for acquiring the right to play the assist time game. The AT lottery is not carried out in the normal section regardless of the gaming state in which the player is staying, and the CZ lottery is carried out when the gaming state is the normal state in the regular section, but the gaming state. When is in the BB established state or the BB state, the CZ lottery is not executed even in the normal section, and neither the CZ lottery nor the AT lottery is executed in the internal waiting section. That is, after the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, if the CZ lottery performed when the big bonus (BB) is won is not won, the big bonus (BB) is won and the big bonus (BB) is won. Since you cannot get the opportunity to move to the advantageous section until you finish the BB state that shifts due to the winning of the prize, you can win the big bonus in the gaming machine that can perform the assist time game while setting the big bonus (BB) as the lottery target. The player can be motivated to actively win (BB). In addition, in the BB state, in order to perform a bonus game in which the winning probability of the small winning combination is increased, if the CZ lottery is performed even in the BB state in the specification in which the CZ lottery is performed depending on the winning mode of some small winning combinations, in the normal section Although the winning probability of the CZ lottery will be substantially changed, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the BB state, the CZ lottery is not performed even in the normal section. Thus, the fairness of the game can be ensured by keeping the winning probability of the CZ lottery in the normal section constant.

It should be noted that the CZ lottery may not be performed because the winning mode that triggers the CZ lottery cannot be obtained in the BB established state. For example, the CZ lottery is performed only when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state. With this configuration, in the BB established state, it is possible to prevent the CZ lottery from being performed because the winning mode in which the big bonus (BB) is won is not obtained. In the BB state, there is a case where a winning mode can be obtained even in the normal state, but the CZ lottery may not be performed because the game state is not the normal state (because it is the BB state). For example, an internal lottery table is provided so that the win mode of watermelon A, cherry, and common bell can be obtained even in the BB state, and even if watermelon A, cherry, and common bell are won in the internal lottery in the BB state, the gaming state is usually. Since it is not in the state, it is possible to prevent the CZ lottery from being performed.

Further, even in the advantageous section, it is preferable that the value of the clear counter 1917 is updated but the CZ lottery or the like is not performed in the BB established state. In this way, if the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the CZ lottery cannot be taken until the big bonus (BB) is won, but since the clear counter 1917 is continuously updated, the winning in the advantageous section is won. The player can be motivated to actively win the big bonus (BB). Further, even in the advantageous section, it is preferable that the value of the clear counter 1917 is updated but the CZ lottery or the like is not performed when the RB is established. In this way, it is not possible to win the regular bonus (RB) in the advantageous section and to have the opportunity to take the CZ lottery until the RB state ends, but since the clear counter 1917 is continuously updated, It is possible to give the player motivation to actively win the winning regular bonus (RB).

In addition, in this example, the CZ lottery is executed when the player stays in the normal section in the normal state, but in the normal state, the type of replay targeted for the lottery and the winning probability of the replay are selected according to the RT state. However, the odds of winning small prizes (Bell 1 to Belle 9, watermelon A, watermelon B, watermelon C, cherry, common bell) and big bonus (BB) are not related to changes in the RT state. The winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the change of the RT state is adopted as a trigger for executing the CZ lottery. Especially in the normal section, watermelon A, cherry, common bell, or big bonus ( When the winning of BB) is obtained, the CZ lottery is performed. That is, in this example, in the normal section, no matter which RT state the player stays in and the player is replaced, the opportunity to receive the CZ lottery can be fairly imparted. It is possible to ensure fairness when players are switched in the normal section.

Further, in this example, watermelon A, watermelon B, and watermelon C are provided as winning modes of watermelon, and the winning probability is the same for any of the setting values for watermelon A, while the setting values are set for watermelon B and watermelon C. Since the probability of winning varies according to, the probability that the stop mode of watermelon alignment appears will change according to the set value, but even if the stop mode of watermelon alignment appears, the watermelon A Since the CZ lottery is performed only when the winning number is selected, the CZ lottery is performed with a certain probability without being affected by the set value in the normal section even if the appearance rate of the three small wins is changed according to the set value. It is possible to change the expected degree of winning of the CZ lottery in the normal section when the small winning combination of three pieces is won, in accordance with the set value.

Even if it is configured to shift to the AT state via the CZ state in this way, it is related to the assist time game while changing the probability that the winning mode including the three small winning combinations is obtained in the internal lottery according to the set value. In addition to preventing the acquisition performance of the attached medals from changing according to the set value, the appearance of the right-down watermelon alignment stop mode that indicates the winning of the three small wins leads to the expectation for the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section, It is possible to realize a game specification in which the expected degree of winning of the CZ lottery varies depending on the set value when the right-down watermelon assortment stop mode appears.

Further, in this aspect, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section is started by performing the CZ lottery, and the CZ lottery performed when the big bonus (BB) is won. If you don't win, the normal section is maintained from the time of winning the big bonus (BB) to the end of the BB state that changes with the winning of the big bonus (BB). When the winning CZ lottery is won, the advantageous section is started with the winning of the big bonus (BB), and the clear counter 1917 is updated. That is, also in the examples shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, regarding the winning of the big bonus (BB) associated with the shift to the advantageous section, the value of the clear counter 1917 is changed in the BB state where the big bonus (BB) shifts due to winning. By updating the medal amount, it is possible to appropriately adjust the amount of medals to be acquired in the advantageous section and suppress the fireability.

Also in this example, a regular bonus (RB) and a big bonus (BB) are provided as the winning modes of the bonus, and the winning probability of the big bonus (BB) is the same at any set value, while the regular bonus (RB) is set. ), the winning probability fluctuates according to the set value, and while the winning of the big bonus (BB) is used as a trigger for executing the CZ lottery in the normal section and the AT lottery in the advantageous section, the regular bonus (RB) ), the CZ lottery and the AT lottery are not performed. Therefore, also in this example, while changing the payout rate in accordance with the set value by the regular bonus (RB) having a setting difference in the winning probability, the transition rate from the normal section to the advantageous section or the AT state in the advantageous section is obtained. The transition rate of does not change depending on the set value, and the advantage degree associated with the assist time game can be prevented from changing according to the set value.

In addition, in this mode, when a big bonus (BB) is won in the game after the CZ state in the advantageous section is finished, if the CZ lottery performed based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) is won, After the BB state ends, the state shifts to the CZ state, and if the CZ lottery performed based on the winning of the big bonus (BB) is not won, the effect state returns to the non-AT state after the BB state ends. Accordingly, the advantageous section ends, and the privilege granting means 175 performs the initialization process based on the end of the advantageous section.

When the regular bonus (RB) is won in the game after the end of the CZ state in the advantageous section, the production state is the non-AT state after the end of the RB state because the CZ lottery is not performed when the regular bonus (RB) is won. However, since the condition for ending the advantageous section is not satisfied, the advantageous section is maintained unless the value of the clear counter 1917 reaches the predetermined value.

Further, in this aspect, in the initialization process, not only the AT end determination counter 1915 and the game history storage means 1916 but also the CZ end determination counter 1920 are initialized, and the advantageous section ends and the normal section is entered. Then, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is initialized to an initial value (for example, 0).

Further, in this mode, as shown in FIG. 20, the value of the clear counter 1917 is the threshold value “1500” when the privilege granting means 175 stays in the AT preparation state, the AT state, or the AT end standby state. When the value of the clear counter 1917 reaches “1501”, the non-AT state is restored by the initialization process accompanying the end of the advantageous period as in the case of the above embodiment, and the CZ state is set. Even when the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value “1500” in the situation where the user stays in the vehicle, the initialization processing accompanying the end of the advantageous section is performed to shift to the non-AT state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 20, in this mode, the CZ state is always passed from the non-AT state to the AT state, and the privilege granting means 175 stays in the normal section as shown in FIG. If the value of the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value even if the CZ state ends, the value of the probability variation counter 1916 is generated if the advantageous section is generated based on winning the CZ lottery in the normal section. There is a case in which the effect state stays in the non-AT state while maintaining the advantageous section even if the CZ state ends, by maintaining the advantageous section until reaches the initial value. In the non-AT state in the normal section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is fixed to the low probability state, while in the non-AT state in the advantageous section, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is in the low probability state and the high probability state according to the RT state. It is possible to provide a section in which the winning probability of the CZ lottery is fixed and a section in which the winning probability of the CZ lottery varies while suppressing the emissivity. In addition, in order to shift to the AT state, it is not always necessary to go through the CZ state, and even in the non-AT state, there may be provided a case where the AT lottery is performed to shift to the AT state without going through the CZ state.

Further, in this aspect, when the batting order bell is won in the CZ state, the game information corresponding to the type of the batting order bell is displayed on the game information display section DS, and the pressing order indicated by (or suggesting) the gaming information (correct batting order). ) May be notified by the effect control means 180 by a winning assistance effect.

Further, for example, when performing AT lottery even in the non-AT state, when the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaches the threshold value and shifts to the non-AT state, the low probability state, the high probability state, From the high probability state, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set by lottery, etc., and in the non-AT state after the end of the CZ state, the fact that the lottery state of the AT lottery stays in the low probability state is the end condition of the advantageous section. Good. In this case, when the ending condition of the CZ state based on the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is satisfied and the state shifts to the non-AT state, the lottery state of the AT lottery is set to the high-probability state or the ultra-high-probability state. In this case, when the lottery state of the AT lottery is set to the low probability state in the non-AT state by continuing the advantageous zone, the advantageous zone is ended, while when shifting to the non-AT state, the lottery of the AT lottery When the state is set to the low-probability state, the advantageous section may be ended with the transition to the non-AT state.

Further, in this aspect, in the CZ state, a continuous lottery for deciding whether to continue the CZ state is performed, and if the continuous lottery is won, the CZ state is continued, and if the result of the continuous lottery is lost. The CZ state may be terminated and the effect state may be returned to the non-AT state. For example, the continuous lottery is performed based on the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaching the threshold value, and when the continuous lottery is won, the CZ end determination counter 1920 is reset to a predetermined value (for example, 8). The CZ state may be continued by a continuous lottery until the AT lottery is won in the game after the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaches the threshold value or the result of the continuous lottery is lost. A game may be played, or a continuous lottery may be played for each game in the CZ state.

In addition, for example, based on the winning of the CZ lottery, the prize assisting production is executed so as to guide the RT state to the RT2 state, and the production state is shifted to the CZ state based on the transition of the RT state to the RT2 state, In the RT state, a game is played in the CZ state, and in the CZ state, a prize assisting effect is performed when the batting order bell is won until the stored value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 reaches a threshold value, and the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is After the threshold is reached, the RT state has fallen to the non-RT state or the RT1 state without performing the winning assistance when the batting order bell is won (that a specific symbol combination is displayed on the activated line) The CZ state may be terminated on the basis of the CZ state, or even if the RT state falls to the non-RT state or the RT1 state even if the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 has not reached the threshold value, It may be ended. In this example, an RT state for the CZ state may be separately prepared, and a game in the CZ state may be played in the RT state.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, the lottery state of the CZ lottery is set to two types, that is, the low probability state and the high probability state, but the lottery state of the CZ lottery is set to three or more types and is not selected in the normal section in the advantageous section. It may be variable among a plurality of types of lottery states. For example, in addition to the high-probability state, it is possible to provide an ultra-high-probability state (for example, the winning probability is about ½) that is easier to win in the CZ lottery than the high-probability state, and the high-probability state is obtained by lottery in the advantageous section. May be switched between the super-high probability state.

Further, in the advantageous zone, the lottery state of the CZ lottery may not be set according to the RT state, but the lottery state may be changed by performing the lottery state transition lottery. For example, when the cherry, watermelon A, and common bell are won, a lottery state transition lottery may be performed to select the low-probability state or the high-probability state. Alternatively, the lottery state may be changed according to the winning combination in the internal lottery. For example, the high probability state may be set when the cherry, the watermelon A, and the common bell are won, and the low probability state may be set when the player loses. Further, when the batting order bell is elected, a high probability state may be set when the stop operation is performed in the correct answer order, and a low probability state may be set when the stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer order.

Also, as a high probability state, there is a first high probability state that is easy to win when cherry is won, a second high probability state that is easy to win when watermelon A is won, and a third high probability state that is easy to win when common bell is won. Sometimes it shifts to the first high probability state, it shifts to the second high probability state when the watermelon A wins, it shifts to the third high probability state when the common bell wins, and it is easy to win the CZ lottery if the same lottery trigger continues. It may be configured as follows. Specifically, when cherry, watermelon, and common bell are won in the game in the advantageous section and in the non-AT state, the winning information is stored in the game history storage means 1916, and the winning information stored in the game history storage means 1916. If is cherry, it is set to the first high probability state, and if the winning information stored in the game history storage means 1916 is watermelon A, it is set to the second high probability state and stored in the game history storage means 1916. If the winning information being won is the common bell, the third high probability state can be set. That is, the lottery state of the CZ lottery in the advantageous zone may be changed according to the past game history in the game in the advantageous zone and the non-AT state. In this way, the lottery state of the CZ lottery in the advantageous zone may change according to the game history in the advantageous zone, so that the change of the lottery state of the CZ lottery changes the transition rate to the AT state. It influences the degree of advantage related to whether or not the assist time game can be executed, but cherry, watermelon A, and common bell, which are involved in determining whether or not the game history satisfies the variation condition of the lottery state, depend on the set value. Since the winning probability does not change, it is possible to prevent the change in the lottery state of the CZ lottery in the advantageous section from being influenced by the set value.

Further, in the example shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, the advantageous section is ended by the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeding a predetermined value, or the production state is returned to the non-AT state at the end of the BB state, and the advantageous section is ended. Although the initialization process was executed by the end of, the advantageous section is ended on the condition that the RT state is changed without winning the CZ lottery after the CZ state is finished, and the initialization process is completed by the end of the advantageous section. It may be executed. In this way, it is possible to generate a situation in which the user stays in the advantageous section in the non-AT state even after the CZ state ends.

For example, if the player stays in the non-RT state at the end of the CZ state, the RT state does not change even if one winning combination is won in the game after the CZ state ends. Therefore, the clear counter 1917 sets the threshold value. If it does not exceed, the advantageous section continues and the advantageous section ends and the initialization process is executed when the state shifts to the RT1 state because the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line.

Further, for example, if the player stays in the RT1 state at the end of the CZ state, the RT state does not change even if a symbol combination showing an RT variation blank is displayed on the activated line in the game after the CZ state ends. , If the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the advantageous section continues, and when the symbol combination showing the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the activated line, the state shifts to the RT1 state or the prize of Replay 2 causes the RT2 state. When the process shifts to, the advantageous section ends and the initialization process is executed.

Further, in the examples shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, the random number value for the internal lottery is used for the CZ lottery to determine the win or failure. However, when the predetermined lottery result is obtained in the internal lottery, it is dedicated for the CZ lottery. The random number may be acquired, and the winning or failure may be determined by referring to a lottery table in which the acquired random number is associated with either winning or losing.

Further, in the examples shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, the CZ end determination counter 1920 is decremented and updated in the CZ state, but it may be incremented and updated. For example, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is initialized to an initial value “0” based on winning the CZ lottery, and in the CZ state, the value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 is set every time a game is played. The value of the CZ end determination counter 1920 has reached a threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to the number of games of 32:32 times) by performing an increment update to add a constant value “1” corresponding to one game. The CZ state may be terminated based on the above.

In the normal section, depending on the set value, the CZ lottery is not performed when the big bonus (BB) where the winning probability in the internal lottery does not change is won, but in the advantageous section, the CZ lottery is performed when the big bonus (BB) is won, If the CZ lottery is won, the AT lottery may be performed in the BB state. More specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal section, the CZ lottery is not performed, so that the player stays in the normal section in the BB state that is shifted by winning the big bonus (BB). However, if the player wins the big bonus (BB) in the advantageous section, and if the value of the clear counter 1917 does not exceed the threshold value, the player stays in the advantageous section in the BB state in which the big bonus (BB) shifts to a prize, and the big If the CZ lottery is won when the bonus (BB) is won, the AT lottery can be executed in the game in the BB state. In this case, the internal lottery table referred to in the BB state may be provided with winning modes such as cherry and watermelon A, and the AT lottery may be performed when these winning modes are obtained. Since the winning probability of the regular bonus (RB) varies depending on the set value, even if the player stays in the RB state in the advantageous section, the CZ lottery is not performed in this RB state. In this way, the AT lottery cannot be received in the BB state in the normal section, but the AT lottery can be received in the BB state in the advantageous section if the CZ lottery is won when the big bonus (BB) is won. A game specification can be provided. When a big bonus (BB) is won in a situation where an assist time game is being played in an advantageous section, an additional lottery is performed instead of the AT lottery in the BB state in which the big bonus (BB) is changed along with winning. On the other hand, if the regular bonus (RB) is won in the situation where the assist time game is being played in the advantageous section, on the other hand, if the regular bonus (RB) is won, the regular bonus (RB) is added in the RB state in which the bonus is transferred. The lottery may not be performed. When the value of the clear counter 1917 exceeds the threshold value in the BB state in the advantageous section, the advantageous section ends and initialization processing is performed even if the ending condition of the BB state is not satisfied, and the normal section In the BB state that won the CZ lottery at the time of winning the big bonus (BB), even if the AT lottery can be received by staying in the advantageous section before the initialization process, Since the AT lottery cannot be taken in the BB state due to staying in the normal section after the conversion processing, it is possible to prevent the advantageous section from being unduly continued for a long time. If the big bonus (BB) is won in the advantageous section, the AT lottery may be taken in the BB state without performing the CZ lottery. Even in this case, the regular bonus (RB) is won in the advantageous section. However, the CZ lottery may not be performed, and the AT lottery may not be performed even in the RB state.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the normal section, when the watermelon A, cherry, or common bell, which is the winning mode of the small winning combination, or the big bonus (BB), which is the winning mode of the bonus, is won, the advantageous section is shifted. Although the related lottery was performed, a replay winning mode in which the winning probability in the internal lottery does not change due to changes in the RT state and changes in the set value is provided, and when such a replay winning mode is obtained. You may make it perform the lottery (AT lottery, CZ lottery) related to the transition of the advantageous section, or the lottery (additional lottery) for increasing the number of times of execution of the assist time game in the advantageous section.

For example, as shown in FIG. 22, when the game state is the normal state, in the internal lottery table 1 to the internal lottery table 4 which are referred to according to the RT state, the normal replay 1 has the same probability in any RT state. Along with winning, the winning probability of normal replay 1 does not change depending on the set value, and when the normal replay 1 is won when the game state is the normal state in the normal section, the lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section is performed. You can In other words, if the winning mode that triggers the execution of the lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section is such that the winning probability does not fluctuate depending on the change in the RT state, not only the winning mode of the small win and the winning mode of the bonus but also the replay It may be a win mode, on the other hand, if a win mode of a replay in which the winning probability changes due to a change in the RT state (for example, a normal replay 2 etc.) is obtained in the normal section, a lottery related to the transition of the advantageous section It suffices not to do the above.

Further, as shown in FIG. 22, when a win mode of a replay in which the winning probability in the internal lottery does not change due to a change in the RT state or a change in the set value is provided, it is advantageous according to the game history regarding the win mode of the replay. The section may be ended. For example, as shown in FIG. 23, when the number of winnings of the normal replay 1 in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined number (for example, 8 times), it is determined that the condition for ending the advantageous section is satisfied. Good. In this case, the game history storage means 1917 stores a value corresponding to the number of times the normal replay 1 is won in the advantageous section, and when the advantageous section is started, each time the normal replay 1 is won in the game in the advantageous section. The value corresponding to the winning count of the normal replay 1 is updated so as to count up from the initial value “0” to the threshold value “8”, and the value corresponding to the winning count of the normal replay 1 is set to the threshold value “8”. It is possible to end the advantageous section when "" is reached. It should be noted that the number of winnings in the normal replay 1 may be updated so as to count down, and each time the normal replay 1 is won, it is updated so as to count down from the initial value “8” to the threshold value “0”. Good.

By doing so, the advantageous period is ended regardless of the value of the clear counter 1917 according to the game history based on the number of times the normal replay 1 is won in the advantageous period, so that the assist time game can be performed. The advantageous zone that can be completed may end before reaching a predetermined value, and the end of the advantageous zone based on the game history regarding the number of winnings in normal replay 1 affects the degree of advantage associated with the assist time game. Since the winning probability does not change depending on the set value in the specific winning mode related to the judgment whether the ending condition of the advantageous section is satisfied in the history, the end of the advantageous section does not depend on the value of the clear counter 1917. Can be unaffected by.

Note that, in the example shown in FIG. 23, the advantageous section is ended according to the game history related to the winning mode of the replay, but if the gaming history related to the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change depending on the set value is small in a plurality of games. The advantageous section may be ended based on the game history regarding the winning mode of the winning combination and the bonus. That is, depending on the set value, the process of terminating the advantageous section may be performed regardless of the value of the clear counter 1917 according to the game history in a plurality of games regarding the winning mode in which the winning probability does not change. When performing the process of ending the advantageous section regardless of the value of the clear counter 1917, the advantageous section is not ended by the winning information in the game history related to the plurality of games, but is specified in the game history related to the plurality of games. The advantageous section may be ended according to the winning information of the winning combination. In this case, the winning mode in which the winning of the specific winning combination can be won does not change depending on the set value, so that the winning information can be changed. It is possible to obtain the same effect as in the case of using the base game history.
