By the time it elapses, the spinning reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is determined from the diameter and rotation speed of each reel, and the reel is stopped from the time when the stop button is pressed. It is configured to be rotatable for up to 4 frames before it is done.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, for the left reel R1 to the right reel R3, a total of 5 frames from the frame displayed on the effective line L1 at the time of pressing the stop button to the rotation of 4 frames are effective. It is a range (pull-in range) in which the symbol can be pulled in on the line L1.

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

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

The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won, based on the stop mode of the left reel R1 to the right reel R3. Specifically, the winning determination table of the storage means 190 is displayed on the effective line L1 when all of the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 are stopped while referring to the winning determination table stored in the storage means 195. It is determined whether or not each of the symbol combinations is in the form of winning a predetermined combination. Then, the winning judgment table is set so that it can be judged whether or not a bonus, a replay, or a small winning combination has been won (hereinafter referred to as "winning judgment") by the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 when each reel is stopped. It is prepared. In the following description, the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the winning combination is also described as "winning symbol combination".

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

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

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

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

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

The staging control means 180 is based on the staging data stored in the staging control data storage means 196, and is performed by using, for example, an image or video staging performed by using the display device 330 as the staging display device, or by using the sound device 340. Controls game-related effects such as sound effects. Specifically, when the player operates each configuration of the slot machine 1 for inserting a medal, operating a single bet button BT, a max bet button MB, a start lever SL, a stop button B1 to a stop button B3, or a game. When a game event such as a change in state occurs, the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 start rotating with the lamp and LED lighting or blinking, the sound output from the sound device 340, and the start signal output from the start switch 230. By executing an effect using the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 that delays the game, the effect of enlivening the game and the execution control of the effect for assisting the game are performed.

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

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

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

The AT control means 200 sets the effect state to the AT state (assist time state) under predetermined conditions in the advantageous section, and makes it possible to win a specific winning combination in the main control display device 500 composed of the 7-segment display.

<Game state transition control means>
FIG. 9A is a state transition diagram showing a game state that can be transferred from each game state in the control related to the transition of the game state executed by the game state transition control means 170 of the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 9A, the non-RT state is a gaming state (initial gaming state, normal gaming state) corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and the bonus is not activated or established. It is in a non-bonus state. In the non-RT state, the gaming state transition control means 170 uses the internal lottery table A whose replay winning probability is set to 8978/65536 (about 1 / 7.3), as shown in FIG. The lottery is executed by the internal lottery means 120.

As for the bonus establishment state, one of the winning area "RBB", the winning area "RBB & 1 card role", the winning area "RBB & rare role 1", and the winning area "RBB & rare role 2" is won by the internal lottery in the non-RT state. It is a gaming state that shifts when the RBB is set to the established state. In the bonus establishment state, as shown in FIG. 3, the game state transition control means 170 internally uses the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of the replay is set to 8892/65536 (about 1 / 7.3). The lottery is executed by the internal lottery means 120.

The bonus state is a gaming state that is transferred when the RBB wins and the RBB is activated. In the bonus state, the game state transition control means 170 determines whether the end condition of the operating RBB is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out, and determines whether a predetermined number of medals to be paid out (for example, 83 medals) is satisfied. ) Is paid out, the bonus state is terminated by ending the operation of the RBB, and the gaming state is shifted to the non-RT state, which is the non-bonus state. In the bonus state, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute the internal lottery using the internal lottery table C.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the internal lottery table C, all the small wins of Bell A to Bell P, Chance role, Special small role, Special bell, Special watermelon, 1-card role A to 1-card role V are won. The winning area "all 3 cards" and the 1-card role A to 1-card role V payouts, where the area "all small roles" and the winning area "all 3 cards" where the special bell and special watermelon dividends are set to 3 cards are all won. A random number is associated with the winning area "all 1-card winning combination" in which all the small winning combination set to 1 card is won.

The bonus state will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the bonus state in which the internal lottery table C is selected, the probability of winning the winning area "all small wins", the winning area "all three cards" or the winning area "all one cards" is , The probability of winning any of the winning areas including the small winning combination in the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B is higher, that is, the probability of winning the small winning combination in the bonus state is any of the game states other than the bonus state. It is set to a higher probability than the probability of winning a small role. Further, in the internal lottery table C, the probability of winning the winning area "all small wins" is set to a probability of 3000/65536 (about 1/21.8), and in the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B. The sum of the probability of winning one of the winning area "Blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Blue 7 batting order bell 8" and the winning area "Batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Batting order bell 8". It is higher than 2700/65536 (about 1 / 24.3), and one of the winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 8" and the winning area "Batting order bell 1" to winning. It is higher than 2700/65536 (about 1 / 24.3), which is the sum of the probability of winning in any one of the areas "Batting Order Bell 8", and is higher than the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Chance 10". Set to the same probability as 3000/65536 (about 1/21.8), which is the probability of winning one of them (the winning probability of the winning areas "Batting Order Chance 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Chance 10"). Has been done.

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

Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the winning area "all small roles" in the bonus state is the probability of winning in any of the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8". It is lower than (the winning probability of the winning area "Blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Blue 7 batting order bell 8" combined), and the winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Red 7 batting order" It is configured to be lower than the probability of winning any of the "bell 8" (the winning probability of the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 8" combined). ..

As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of types of specific roles (bells A to P) set to a batting order larger than the number of input of the game value required at the start of the game overlap each other. Multiple types of first specific winning modes (winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" -winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8", winning area "red 7 batting order bell 1"- The winning area "high 7 batting order bell 8") and the second specific winning mode (winning area "all small winnings") in which a plurality of types of specific small winning combinations are duplicated, and the internal lottery means 120 In the normal game state (non-RT state) and the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery is performed so that there are a plurality of types of the first specific winning mode, and in the bonus state, the internal lottery is performed so that the second specific winning mode exists. It is configured to do. Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the second winning mode in the internal lottery in the bonus state is higher than the probability of winning in any of a plurality of types of the first winning mode in the internal lottery in the normal gaming state and the bonus established state. It is low, and the winning probability of each of all the small wins in the internal lottery in the bonus state is configured to be equal to or higher than the winning probability of each of the small wins in the internal lottery in the normal game state and the bonus established state.

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

Here, in the state where the bonus is established, as will be described in more detail later, the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8", the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "red". At the time of winning the "7 batting order bell 8", the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the correct batting order composed of the batting order 3 to 6, and the winning bells A to P are pressed at the timing when the winning is possible. 1 Since the structure is such that the bells A to P cannot be won unless the stop operation is executed, the probability that any of the bells A to P will be won is the stop button B1 to the correct batting order from the four batting orders. It is limited to the case where the stop button B3 can be pressed and the first stop operation is executed at an appropriate pressing timing. On the other hand, when the AT game in which the winning assistance is executed by the AT control means 200 described later is executed, the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8" and the winning area "red 7" are executed. When the batting order bell 1 "to the winning area" red 7 batting order bell 8 "is won, the correct batting order and the pressing timing that enables the bells A to P to win are determined by the AT control means 200 for the winning auxiliary control and the effect control means 180. Since it is notified by the winning assistance effect, the probability that any one of Bell A to Bell P will win can be increased up to 16 times as compared with the case where the winning assistance is not executed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, as a winning combination (specific combination) in which more medals than the specified number of medals to be awarded are paid out when the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order and the pressing timing of the first stop operation is appropriate. , 16 types of bell A to bell P are set. Then, the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the bonus state is compressed to about 1/16 of the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the gaming state other than the bonus state. With this configuration, an internal lottery is performed with a mode in which N types of specific roles are won without overlapping each other in a game state other than the bonus state, and N types of specific roles are won in duplicate in the bonus state. The probability that a winning mode including a specific combination will be obtained in a bonus state will be reduced to about 1 / N of the probability that a winning mode including a specific combination will be obtained in a gaming state other than the bonus state. Can be compressed. As a result, the lower limit of the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state can be lowered to less than 100%, and then the medal acquisition performance related to the AT game can be designed. The degree of freedom in design can be dramatically improved.

<AT control means>
FIG. 9B is a state transition diagram showing details of a normal section and an advantageous section controlled by the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment and an effect state controlled during the advantageous section.

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

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

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

The AT control means 200 of the present embodiment has a winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to a winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8" and a winning area "red 7 batting order bell 1" in an internal lottery in a non-RT state and a bonus establishment state. -Winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 8", Winning area "Batting order bell 1" -Winning area "Batting order bell 8", Winning area "Batting order chance 1" -Winning area "Batting order chance 10", Winning area "RBB & rare role 1" , Winning area "RBB & rare role 2", winning area "RBB & 1 piece role", winning area "normal replay 1", if you win the advantageous section lottery and win other winning areas , It is configured not to execute the advantageous section lottery. Further, the AT control means 200 executes an advantageous section lottery that wins the "start of the advantageous section" with a high probability of about 1 / 1.5.

In the advantageous section, the AT control means 200 has a winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to a winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8", a winning area "red 7 batting order bell 1" to a winning area "red 7 batting order bell 8", At the time of winning the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Chance 10" without executing the winning assistance of Bell A to Bell P at the time of winning the winning area "Batting Order Bell 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Bell 8" Chance role, 1-card role A or 1-card role B can be won in the normal state (first state), the CZ state, and the winning area "Blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Blue" 7 batting order bell 8 ", winning area" red 7 batting order bell 1 "-winning area" red 7 batting order bell 8 ", winning area" batting order bell 1 "-winning area" batting order bell 8 "at the time of winning bell A-bell P AT state (AT state) that does not execute the winning assistance that enables the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Chance 10" to win the chance role, 1-card role A or 1-card role B. As the second state), it has a first AT state and a second AT state. Further, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the stay ratio of the advantageous section in the entire game can be 70% or more.

The normal state is an effect state (normal effect state) corresponding to the normal state among a plurality of types of effect states, which is set when the state has not shifted to another effect state. When the effect state shifts to the normal state, the AT control means 200 has a non-AT game number counter (not shown) that counts the number of games in the normal state, and a storage value of the non-AT game number counter each time a game is executed. Is incremented by adding the value "1" corresponding to one game. When the stored value of the non-AT game number counter reaches the value "700", the AT control means 200 determines that the condition for shifting to the CZ state is satisfied, and shifts the effect state from the normal state to the CZ state.

Further, whether the AT control means 200 decides to shift to the AT state in the case where the winning area "RBB & rare role 1" is won in the internal lottery and the case where the winning area "RBB & rare role 2" is won. A normal AT lottery is executed.

When the AT control means 200 performs a lottery to determine either "transition to AT state" or "unwinning" in the normal AT lottery, and wins "transition to AT state" in the normal AT lottery. It is determined that the transition condition to the AT state (AT transition condition) is satisfied, and the effect state is shifted from the normal state to the AT state.

In the present embodiment, when the AT control means 200 wins the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10" in the internal lottery in the normal state, the chance combination, 1-card combination A or 1-card combination B Of the batting order (set batting order) that enables winning, the set batting order notification control for notifying the stop button set in the first stop operation is executed. The AT control means 200 displays as a set batting order notification control to notify any of the batting order 3 to the batting order 6 set in each of the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10". The mode is displayed on the main control display device 500. In the set batting order notification control, the AT control means 200 executes a notification batting order lottery for determining the batting order to be notified from the batting order 3 to 6, and the main control display device 500 displays a display mode corresponding to the batting order determined by the batting order lottery. To display.

The CZ status is the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8", the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 8", and the winning area " When the batting order bell 1 "to the winning area" batting order bell 8 "is won, the probability of shifting to the AT state in which the winning assistance of the bells A to P is executed is higher than in the normal state, and the production state is more advantageous than the normal state. Is. At the start of the CZ state, the AT control means 200 sets a value (for example, 32 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the CZ game number counter (not shown) of the AT control data storage means 197, and the game is executed. Each time, the decrement update is executed by subtracting the stored value of the CZ game number counter by the value "1" corresponding to one game.

The AT control means 200 is configured to execute an AT lottery during CZ in which a lottery is made to determine whether or not to determine the transition to the AT state in the game in which the CZ state is started. When the "transition to the AT state" is won in the AT lottery during the CZ, the AT control means 200 shifts the effect state from the CZ state to the AT state after the game of 32 games is executed from the start of the CZ state. On the other hand, if the "transition to the AT state" is not won in the AT lottery during the CZ, the AT control means 200 ends the CZ state after 32 games of the game are executed from the start of the CZ state. When the AT control means 200 ends the CZ state in a state where the AT transition condition is not satisfied, it is determined that the normal end condition is satisfied among the end conditions of the advantageous section, and the information regarding the advantageous section is initialized. A predetermined initialization process and a predetermined end process of ending the advantageous section and starting the normal section from the next game are executed.

In the CZ medium AT lottery, the AT control means 200 executes a lottery that can win the "transition to the AT state" with a higher probability than the normal medium AT lottery executed in the normal state regardless of the result of the internal lottery. .. Further, in the CZ middle AT lottery, the AT control means 200 wins the "transition to the AT state" by the winning area won in the internal lottery by acquiring the lottery table with reference to the winning area won in the internal lottery. It is configured so that the probability of doing it changes.

There is. Further, the AT control means 200 does not execute the set batting order notification control when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10" are won in the internal lottery in the AT state. And, it is configured not to execute the lottery related to the granting of benefits including the lottery for granting specific benefits.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a first AT state and a second AT state as AT states, and when the normal state or the CZ state shifts to the AT state, the effect state is changed to the first AT state. It is configured to migrate. Further, in the AT state, the AT control means 200 counts the difference number, which is the difference obtained by subtracting the number of medals paid out by the number of inserted medals, using the AT end determination counter 197e of the AT control data storage means 197.

The AT control means 200 is configured to add a difference number to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e each time a game is played. That is, the AT control means 200 is a value obtained by subtracting the specified number of inputs (3 cards) from the dividend set for the winning small winning combination when a small winning combination set to a dividend larger than the specified number of input is won. (For example, if the bell A for which 15 payouts are set wins, the value "12" obtained by subtracting 3 of the input numbers from the 15 payouts) is added to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e. However, if a small winning combination set with a payout less than the specified number of inputs wins, or if neither winning combination wins, the difference number becomes a negative value, so the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e. Is subtracted.

The AT control means 200 of the present embodiment is when the end condition of the second AT state is satisfied and the difference number in the AT state is 145 or more, that is, the storage value of the AT end determination counter 197e is the value "145" or more. , It is determined that the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, and the AT state is terminated. That is, the AT control means 200 is configured to end the AT state when the second AT state ends with the player having acquired 145 or more medals in the AT state. The details of the control related to the end of the AT state will be described later.

The first AT state is a state in which control for setting a period during which the second AT state continues is executed. The AT control means 200 sets an initial value (5 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the first AT game number counter 197c of the AT control data storage means 197 at the start of the first AT state, and each time a game is executed, the AT control means 200 sets an initial value (5 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games. A decrement update is executed in which the stored value of the first AT game number counter 197c is subtracted by the value "1" corresponding to one game.

In the first AT state, the AT control means 200 executes an initial difference number addition lottery for determining a value to be added (added) to the second AT difference number counter 197d of the AT control data storage means 197 by lottery each time the game is played. .. In the initial difference number addition lottery, the AT control means 200 has a value in the range of "10" to "50" when the winning area other than the winning area "rare combination 1" or the winning area "rare combination 2" is won. It is determined that any value is added to the second AT difference number counter 197d, and the determined value is added to the second AT difference number counter 197d. Further, when the AT control means 200 wins the winning area "rare combination 1" or the winning area "rare combination 2", the AT control means 200 sets a value in the range of the value "50" to the value "100" as the second AT difference number. It is determined to be added to the counter 197d, and the determined value is added to the second AT difference number counter 197d.

When the stored value of the first AT game number counter 197c becomes a value "0", the AT control means 200 ends the decrement update of the stored value of the first AT game number counter 197c in the subsequent games, and sets the first AT state. Perform a continuation lottery to determine whether to continue. The AT control means 200 executes a continuous lottery each time a game is executed in a state where the stored value of the first AT game number counter 197c is a value "0", and until the "end of the first AT state" is won in the continuous lottery. The first AT state is continued. On the other hand, when the AT control means 200 wins the "end of the first AT state" in the continuous lottery, the AT control means 200 ends the first AT state and shifts the staging state to the second AT state.

When the stored value of the first AT game number counter 197c is a value "0" and the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d is less than the value "150", the AT control means 200 has a probability of "about 95%". A continuous lottery will be executed in which the player wins the "continuation of the 1st AT state" and wins the "execution of the special additional lottery" with a probability of about 5%. In the special addition lottery, the AT control means 200 determines to add any value in the range of the value "300" to the value "500" to the second AT difference number counter 197d. Further, when the special addition lottery is executed, the AT control means 200 ends the first AT state and shifts the effect state to the second AT state.

Whether to execute the number priority control or the number priority control is preset according to the pressing timing of the stop button B2 or the stop button B3. When the stop button B2 and the stop button B3 are pressed at the timing when the symbols arranged in the frames of the stop numbers set to execute the number priority control are rotated and displayed on the effective line L1 in the reel control means 130. The symbols that make up the winning symbol combination of the chance combination are stopped and displayed on the valid line L1, and the symbols arranged in the frame of the stop number set when the number priority control is executed are rotated and displayed on the valid line L1. When the stop button B2 and the stop button B3 are pressed at the same timing, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of the 1-card winning combination A and the 1-card winning combination B are stopped and displayed on the effective line L1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14, in the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10", the stop button B2, in which the chance combination can be won by the reel control means 130 executing the number priority control, The pressing timings of the stop buttons B3 are configured to be consistent with each other.

<Batting order winning mode winning assistance at the time of winning>
Next, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning auxiliary control executed by the AT control means 200 when the batting order winning mode is won in the internal lottery in the bonus established state will be described. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a display mode of the main control display device 500 displayed by the winning auxiliary control executed by the AT control means 200 when the batting order winning mode is won in the internal lottery in the bonus establishment state.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the AT control means 200, as the pressing timing, the symbol within the pull-in range of the bell A symbol “BLA” including the pull-in range of the blue 7 symbol “blue 7” is rotated on the effective line L1. The main control display device 500 for notifying that the first stop operation is pressed at the displayed timing has "05" to "08", and the display mode "05" has a correct batting order. Notifying that the batting order is 3, the display mode "06" notifies that the correct batting order is the batting order 4, and the display mode "07" notifies that the correct batting order is the batting order 5, and the display mode " 08 ”notifies that the correct batting order is batting order 6. When the AT control means 200 wins the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8" in the internal lottery when the game state is the bonus established state and the staging state is the AT state. In addition, the winning auxiliary control for displaying the display mode shown in FIG. 15 on the main control display device 500 is executed.

Further, the AT control means 200 rotates and displays the symbol within the pulling range of the bell B symbol "BLB" including the pulling range of the red 7 symbol "Red 7" as the pressing timing on the effective line L1. The main control display device 500 for notifying that the first stop operation is pressed has "09" to "12", and the display mode "09" indicates that the correct batting order is the batting order 3. The display mode "10" notifies that the correct batting order is the batting order 4, the display mode "11" notifies that the correct batting order is the batting order 5, and the display mode "12" is the correct batting order. Is in the batting order 6. When the AT control means 200 wins the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 8" in the internal lottery when the game state is the bonus established state and the staging state is the AT state. In addition, the winning auxiliary control for displaying the display mode shown in FIG. 15 on the main control display device 500 is executed.

Further, the AT control means 200 sets the display mode "01" to the display mode "04" as the display mode of the main control display device 500 for notifying the correct batting order of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 8". , The display mode of the main control display device 500 for notifying the set batting order of the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10", and the display mode "01" is the correct batting order (set batting order). ) Is the batting order 3, the display mode "02" notifies that the correct batting order (set batting order) is the batting order 4, and the display mode "03" is the correct batting order (set batting order) the batting order 5. The display mode "04" notifies that the correct batting order (set batting order) is the batting order 6.

The AT control means 200 is shown when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 8" are won in the internal lottery when the game state is the bonus established state and the staging state is the AT state. The winning auxiliary control for displaying the display mode shown in 15 on the main control display device 500 is executed. On the other hand, when the AT control means 200 wins the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10" in the internal lottery when the game state is the bonus established state and the staging state is the AT state. By turning off the main control display device 500, the set batting order is not notified.

With such a configuration, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10" are won in the AT state, neither display is displayed on the main control display device 500. By not doing so, the player has more chances to play by operating the stop button B1 for the first time, and as a result, the winning probability of the special small winning combination set for 14 payouts increases, and the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1" -A medal can be obtained even when the winning area "Batting Order Chance 10" is won.

The AT control means 200 is mainly used when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 8" are won in the internal lottery when the game state is the bonus established state and the staging state is the normal state. By turning off the control display device 500, the correct batting order is not notified.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1, when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 8" are won in the normal state, the player stops because neither display is displayed on the main control display device 500. Since the chances of playing by operating the button B1 for the first stop increase, as a result, the winning probability of the 1-card winning combination A to the 1-card winning combination D set for one payout increases, and the expected value of the medal acquisition rate is increased. It can be suppressed.

On the other hand, when the AT control means 200 wins the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10" in the internal lottery when the game state is the bonus established state and the staging state is the normal state. , Which of the display modes "01" to the display mode "04" set in the display mode for notifying the set batting order is to be displayed on the main control display device 500 is determined by lottery, and the determined display is determined. The set batting order notification control for displaying the mode on the main control display device 500 is executed.

4. Details of the AT State Next, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, details of the control process executed by the AT control means 200 when the game is executed in the second AT state and details of the configuration of the AT state will be described. do.

<Control processing related to counter update in the 2nd AT state>
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the details of the update of the second AT difference number counter 197d and the update of the AT end determination counter 197e executed by the AT control means 200 in the second AT state. In addition, in FIG. 16, the value determined to be added by the additional lottery executed by the AT control means 200 at the time of winning the winning area “rare combination 1” and the winning area “rare combination 2” and the additional lottery is the second AT difference number. The process of adding to the counter 197d is omitted, but it is executed when the start operation to the start lever SL is triggered, and is completed by the time the stop operation to the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is enabled. It is configured to do. Further, the AT control means 200 does not update the second AT difference number counter 197d and the AT end determination counter 197e when the replay wins, but the control process related to the update of the counter in the second AT state shown in FIG. To finish.

As shown in FIG. 16, when the game is executed in the second AT state, the AT control means 200 determines whether or not to execute the winning assistance (S1). As described above, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured to execute the winning assistance of the bells A to P set to the distribution of 15 cards in the AT state, and the winning by the AT control means 200. When the game according to the auxiliary control is executed, any one of Bell A to Bell P is configured to win a prize.

Therefore, the AT control means 200 determines whether or not the winning assistance has been executed in the process of step S1, and if it is determined that the winning assistance has been executed (YES), the storage of the second AT difference number counter 197d. The value is subtracted by the value "12" (S2). In this process, the AT control means 200 is assisted in winning any one of Bell A to Bell P by the winning assistance, and 15 payouts may occur, and in general, the player assists in winning a medal. Since the game is executed according to the above, at the time of processing in step S2, the stored value of the second difference number counter 197d is the value "12" corresponding to the difference number obtained by subtracting the specified input number from the payouts of bells A to P. Subtract with.

As described above, the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment is configured to execute the control process related to the update of the second difference number counter 197d without referring to the result of the game when the winning assist control is executed. Has been done.

Here, the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment is configured to execute the processes up to step S2 before the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 stop, and is triggered by the start operation to the start lever SL. It is configured to run on.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8", the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 8" , In the case of winning the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 8", the process related to the update of the second AT difference number counter 197d is executed before the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 stop. Then, when the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 are stopped and the second AT difference number counter 197d is updated with reference to the result of the game, 15 pieces due to the winning of bells A to P are paid out from the data referred to. It is possible to omit the data regarding the player's acquisition of 12 medals as the difference number, and it is possible to reduce the processing manpower of the program for updating the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d.

After executing the process of step S2 or in the process of step S1, if it is determined that the winning assistance is not executed (NO), the AT control means 200 subtracts the second AT difference number counter 197d in this game. Determines whether or not has already been executed (S3). In this process, the AT control means 200 determines whether or not the process of step S2 is executed in this game, and if it is determined that the subtraction of the second AT difference number counter 197d is not executed, it is determined. (NO), the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d is subtracted by the difference number (S4). In this game, when the medals are not paid out or the number of medals to be paid out is smaller than the specified number of inserted medals, the AT control means 200 has a negative value as the difference number of the second AT difference number counter 197d. Subtract the stored value.

After executing the process of step S4 or in the process of step S3, if it is determined that the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d has already been subtracted in this game (YES), the AT control means 200 is AT. The difference number is added to the stored value of the end determination counter 197e (S5). In this process, the AT control means 200 does not execute the update of the stored value based on the execution of the winning assistance for the AT end determination counter 197e, so that the difference number is added. In this game, when the medals are not paid out or the number of medals to be paid out is less than the specified number of inserted medals, the AT control means 200 stores a negative value as the difference number in the AT end determination counter 197e. Add to the value.

Next, the AT control means 200 determines whether or not the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d is a value "0" (S6). In this process, the AT control means 200 determines whether or not the storage value of the second AT difference number counter 197d is a value "0" in order to determine whether or not the end condition of the second AT state is satisfied as a result of this game. If it is determined whether or not the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d is larger than the value "0" (NO), it is determined that the second AT state is not terminated in this game, and the second AT state is set. The control process related to the update of the counter is terminated.

On the other hand, when it is determined (YES) that the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d is the value "0", the AT control means 200 determines whether the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e is less than the value "145". (S7). In this process, the AT control means 200 determines whether or not the player has acquired 145 or more medals in a series of AT states in a state where the "end of the second AT state", which is the end condition of the AT state, is satisfied. In order to make a determination, it is determined whether or not the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e is less than the value "145".

If it is determined in the process of step S7 that the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e is less than the value "145" (YES), the AT control means 200 satisfies the end condition of the second AT state, but AT. Since the condition for ending the state is not satisfied, the value "10" is added to the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d (S8), and the control process related to the update of the counter in the second AT state is terminated. In this process, the AT control means 200 adds a value "10" to the second AT difference number counter 197d because the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d has become a value "0" in this game. Then, it is set so that the end condition of the second AT state is not satisfied until the winning assistance or the payout of the medal is executed after the next game.

On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S7 that the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e is the value "145" or more (NO), the AT control means 200 satisfies the end condition of the AT state and Since the difference number in the AT state is 145 or more as a predetermined difference number, the AT state is terminated (S9), and the control process related to the update of the counter in the second AT state is terminated. In this process, if the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is less than the value "900", the AT control means 200 determines whether or not to continue the advantageous section even after the end of the AT state. To execute. Further, the AT control means 200 is advantageous when the "continuation of the advantageous section" is not won in the advantageous section continuation lottery and when the stored value of the second advantageous section counter 197b is a value "900" or more. A predetermined initialization process that determines that the normal end condition is satisfied among the end conditions of the section and initializes information about the advantageous section, and a predetermined process that ends the advantageous section and starts the normal section from the next game. Execute the termination process.

<Details of AT state configuration>
As described above, the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment has the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8" and the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 1" in the internal lottery in the AT state. -When the winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 8" and the winning area "Batting order bell 1" -Winning area "Batting order bell 8" are won, the winning assistance control is executed and the bell A is set to pay 15 cards. -It is configured to assist the winning of Bell P. Further, when the AT control means 200 wins the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10" in the internal lottery in the AT state, the winning auxiliary control is not executed, so that the payout of 14 medals is paid. It is configured to increase the probability that the set special small winning combination will win, and it is configured so that the player can win a medal by executing the game according to the winning auxiliary control in the AT state. There is.

Further, the AT control means 200 executes a winning auxiliary control for notifying the set batting order when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10" is won in the internal lottery in the normal state, and 15 cards are used. The chance combination set for the payout of 1 will win with a probability of 1/10, and the 1-card combination A or 1-card combination B set for one payout less than the specified number of input will win with a probability of 9/10. It is configured to notify the batting order of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3. Further, the slot machine 1 is configured to win each winning area with the winning probability shown in FIG. 3 when the gaming state is the bonus established state.

Due to such a configuration, the slot machine 1 follows the winning assistance control executed when the winning area "batting order chance 1" to the winning area "batting order chance 10" is won in the internal lottery in the normal state. When the game in which the stop button B1 is first stopped is executed when the winning assist control is not executed, the ratio of the total number of medals to be inserted to the total number of medals to be inserted during the game of the predetermined number of games (outgoing). The ball rate) is set to the first rate (specifically, about 41%) of less than 100%.

Further, in the slot machine 1, the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 8" are won and the bells A to bell are shown as in the display mode of the main control display device 500 in the winning auxiliary control shown in FIG. Notifies the setting batting order that enables the winning role, 1-card combination A or 1-card combination B to be won in the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1" to the winning area "Batting Order Chance 10" when the winning assistance control of P is executed. It is configured to display the common display mode of the display mode "01" to the display mode "04" on the main control display device 500 when the winning auxiliary control is executed.

Due to such a configuration, in the slot machine 1, the game according to the winning auxiliary control is executed only when the display mode "01" to the display mode "04" are displayed on the main control display device 500 in the AT state. In that case, when the winning area "Blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Blue 7 batting order bell 8" and the winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 8" are won, Bell A -Because Bell P no longer wins, it becomes difficult to win medals, and although the ball output rate is higher than the first rate, it drops to the second rate (specifically, about 61%), which is less than 100%. It ends up.

Further, as described above, in the slot machine 1, the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8", the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "red 7 batting order bell 8" In order to win Bell A to Bell P, it is necessary to press the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the correct batting order and at the appropriate timing for the first stop operation, as a winning auxiliary control. Although the winning auxiliary control for displaying the display mode "05" to the display mode "12" on the main control display device 500 is executed, the pressing timing of the first stop operation is the timing at which the bells A to P cannot be won. In this case, the 1-card winning combination E to 1-card winning combination H and the 1-card winning combination M to 1-card winning combination P, which are set for one payout less than the specified number of cards, are configured to win a prize with a probability of 1/2. ing.

Due to such a configuration, the slot machine 1 has a winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" to a winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 8" in the AT state when the player's technical ability regarding the game is not high. Even if the winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 8" is won and the winning assistance control is executed, the first stop operation can be executed at an appropriate pressing timing. It is not possible, and there is a possibility that Bell A to Bell P cannot be reliably won.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the bells A to P, which are set to pay 15 medals, are awarded when the winning assistance is executed in the second AT state. Regardless of the display mode, the display mode "05" to the display mode are configured to subtract the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d, which manages the duration of the second AT state by the difference number, by the value "12". When "12" is displayed on the main control display device 500, when the player accidentally or intentionally misses the prize of Bell A to Bell P, the second AT is not paid out even though the medal is not paid out. The difference number counter 197d is subtracted, and there is a possibility that the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d, which is the end condition of the second AT state, reaches the value “0”.

Therefore, if the slot machine 1 is configured to end the AT state promptly when the end condition of the second AT state is satisfied, the medal is sufficiently obtained even if the AT state is started. If the AT state ends with the end of the second AT state without any reason, the player will stay in the normal state for a long period of time, and it will be extremely difficult for the player to win a medal. May decrease.

However, the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment counts the difference number in the AT state by the AT end determination counter 197e even when the end condition of the second AT state is satisfied, and the difference number in the AT state is If the number is less than 145, the value "10" is added to the storage value of the second AT difference number counter 197d without ending the AT state, and the AT state is continued by continuing the second AT state. Has been done.

With such a configuration, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the AT state is started, the player accidentally or intentionally misses the winning of the bells A to P, which is set to the payout of 15 cards. Even in such a case, since the AT state is continued until 145 or more medals are acquired, the AT state does not end before the medals are sufficiently acquired, and the player's interest in the game is enjoyed. The decrease can be suppressed.

Further, the AT control means 200 of the present embodiment is configured so that the total of the values to be added to the stored value of the second AT difference number counter 197d in the first AT state is the value "150" or more. Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the second AT state, the game according to the winning assistance control is executed, and when the bells A to P win the prize and the end condition of the second AT state is satisfied, the game is executed. Since the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e is also the value "150" or more and the end condition of the AT state is satisfied, the AT state also ends when the end condition of the second AT state is satisfied.

With such a configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment satisfies the end condition of the second AT state and is in the AT state when the game according to the winning assist control is executed in the second AT state. Since the addition of the second AT difference number counter 197d, which is executed when the end condition of the above is not satisfied, is not executed, the AT state is excessively extended by the processing executed to suppress the deterioration of the player's interest in the game. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable.

The "end of the second AT state", which is set as the end condition of the AT state as the second state and is different from the condition regarding the difference number of sheets, constitutes the predetermined end condition of the present embodiment. As the difference number in the AT state, the difference number of 145 sheets constitutes the predetermined difference number in the present embodiment.

5. Summary of the present embodiment As described above, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has the "second difference" which is the end condition of the second AT state in the AT state in which "the end of the second AT state" is set as the end condition. Even when the value "0" is satisfied in the stored value of the number counter 197d, the difference number in the AT state is counted by the AT end determination counter 197e, and the difference number in the AT state is less than 145. In some cases, the player keeps the AT state by continuing the second AT state until the difference number in the AT state becomes 145 or more without ending the AT state, so that the player accidentally or intentionally has 15 cards. Even if you miss the prizes of Bell A to Bell P set for the dividend, the AT state will not end before enough medals are won, and the player's interest in the game will decline. Can be suppressed.

6. Modification Example In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured to continue the AT state even when the second AT state ends when the difference number in the AT state is less than a predetermined difference number. However, it is not limited to this. The AT control means 200 counts, for example, the number of times the game according to the winning assistance is executed in the AT state, and determines the number of times the game according to the winning assistance is executed when the end condition of the second AT state is satisfied. If it is less than the number of times, the AT state may be continued until a predetermined number of times is reached.

Further, the AT control means 200 counts, for example, the number of times that the bells A to P have won a prize in the AT state, and the number of times that the bells A to P have won a prize at the time when the end condition of the second AT state is satisfied is a predetermined number of times. If it is less than, it may be configured to continue the AT state until a predetermined number of times is reached.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT control means 200 sets the end of the second AT state, which is a specific effect state among the plurality of effect states, as a predetermined end condition set in the AT state. Not limited. The AT control means 200 may be configured to determine that the end condition of the AT state is satisfied when the game of a predetermined number of games is executed in the AT state, for example, and the game of the predetermined number of games may be determined. Is executed, and when the difference number in the AT state is less than the predetermined difference number, the number of games in which the AT state can be executed may be added (added).

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT control means 200 is configured to add the difference number to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e when the left reel R1 to the right reel R3 are stopped, but the present invention is not limited to this. .. For example, the AT control means 200 subtracts the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e by a predetermined input number based on the start operation to the start lever SL, and when the small winning combination is won in the game, the winning small winning combination is selected. It may be configured to add the same number of values as the set dividend to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197e.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT control means 200 calculates the difference number in the update of the second AT difference number counter 197d and the update of the AT end determination counter 197e, and updates using the calculated result. It is configured, but not limited to this. The AT control means 200 may have a data table relating to the difference number for each game result in the AT control data storage means 197, and the second AT difference number counter 197d may use the difference number stored in the data table. And the AT end determination counter 197e may be updated.

In this configuration, the slot machine 1 does not need to prepare a storage area for temporarily storing the negative value even when the result of the calculation of the difference number is a negative value, and the second AT difference. It is possible to reduce the data capacity related to the update of the number counter 197d and the update of the AT end determination counter 197e.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is composed of different symbols whose drawing ranges do not overlap with each other for the bell A symbol "BLA" and the bell B symbol "BLB" arranged on the middle reel R2. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the common bell symbol "BL" may be configured to be arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less.

In this case, the slot machine 1 can win a prize when the stop button B2 is pressed in the correct batting order at the time of winning the winning area "blue 7 batting order bell 1" and at the first timing. Since the winning symbol combination is "BAR (CH) -BL-WM", the bell symbol "BL" can be pulled in even when the stop button B2 is pressed at the second timing, but the stop operation is performed. The number priority control and the number priority control are switched according to the position of the middle reel R2 when the number is detected, and when the second timing is reached, the number priority control is executed so that the bell A does not win a prize. Just do it. In addition, the winning area "Blue 7 batting order bell 2" to the winning area "Blue 7 batting order bell 8" and the winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Red 7 batting order bell 8" should be stopped in almost the same way. Depending on the position of the middle reel R2 and the right reel R3 at the time of detection, the number priority control and the number priority control are switched, and when the second timing is reached, the number priority control is executed and the bells B to P win a prize. It suffices if it is configured not to. In this case, the slot machine 1 needs to be configured so that all the winning symbol combinations of the bells A to P are different symbol combinations.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is set to pay out three cards, which is the same number as the specified number of input (three), as a payout higher than one payout and lower than the payout of fifteen. Although it has a bell, the payout of the special bell is not limited to this, and may be, for example, two payouts less than the specified number of payouts, or 4 to 14 payouts more than the specified number of coins.
