In slot machines, which are one of the game machines, as a means to increase the number of medals possessed by the player, a bonus game in which the probability of winning a small role is set higher than in the normal state, or a role with a higher payout is used. Some have an assist time (so-called AT) in which information for winning a prize is notified. In the slot machine provided with the AT, as the winning combination of the winning combination lottery, a simultaneous winning combination that simultaneously wins a plurality of winning combinations with different payouts is set. For this simultaneous winning combination, which constituent combination will be won is predetermined depending on the order in which the stop switches are pressed. If a simultaneous winning combination is won during AT, the number of medals possessed is increased by notifying the push order for winning the constituent combination with the highest payout. Further, in this type of gaming machine, a plurality of set values can be set to control the payout rate (total number of payouts ÷ total number of input sheets × 100 [%]). For example, the slot machine described in Patent Document 1 is provided with both a bonus and an AT, and is designed so that the appearance rate of the bonus and the AT increases as the set value increases.

In such a game machine, in addition to it is necessary to individually provide data (lottery value) related to the winning combination lottery for each set value, it is also necessary to individually provide data (lottery value) related to the AT game granting lottery for each set value. Therefore, the amount of data required to execute the game becomes large. Since the capacity of the data storage area may be limited in slot machines and the like, there is a demand to minimize the total amount of data such as data related to the combination lottery and data related to the AT game granting lottery.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and while controlling the payout rate by providing a plurality of set values, it is possible to increase the total amount of data such as data related to the winning combination lottery and data related to the AT game granting transition lottery. The purpose is to suppress it.

In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine according to the present invention has a display means having a plurality of variable display columns for variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a player stops the variable display of each of the variable display columns. In a gaming machine provided with a stop operation means for performing the operation of, the game is performed according to the set value setting means for setting the payout rate to one set value from a plurality of predetermined set values and the operation mode of the stop operation means. A combination lottery means for determining whether or not a plurality of roles including a specific combination having different advantages given to a person and a plurality of bonus combinations are won, and the combination lottery of the combination lottery means. A special game control means that performs a special game that identifiablely notifies an advantageous operation mode corresponding to the specific combination when the player is elected, and a special game that does not allow the special game. Permissible state for determining whether or not to make the special game permissible state a permissible state transition lottery is performed, and a special game right granting lottery for determining whether or not to grant the right to perform the special game in the special game permissible state is performed. In the processing means and the normal gaming state, the winning of any of the plurality of bonus combinations causes the transition to the bonus gaming state corresponding to the winning bonus combination, and the number of game media to be paid out in the bonus gaming state is set in advance. When the specified number is exceeded, the game state control means for shifting from the bonus game state to the normal game state is provided, and the combination lottery means has the first special combination and the second special combination only during the bonus game state. The game state control means can be brought into the first special game state by winning the first special combination in the bonus game state, and when the end condition of the first special game state is satisfied, the first special game state is satisfied. 1 When the special gaming state is terminated, the bonus gaming state is changed to the second special gaming state by winning the second special combination, and the end condition of the second special gaming state is satisfied, the second special gaming state is changed. The special game right granting lottery may be completed from the winning of the first special role to the end of the first special game state, but from the winning of the second special role to the end of the second special game state. Is not performed, and the plurality of set values include a first set value and a second set value in which the first set value and the payout rate are different from each other, and the right to perform the special game is granted by the permissible state processing means. Then, the winning probability determined is the same for the first set value and the second set value, and the player shifts to a bonus game state in which the first special combination can be drawn. The winning probability of each of the plurality of bonus combinations to be performed is the same for the first set value and the second set value, and the winning probability of the first special combination by the combination lottery means is the first set value and the first set value. It is the same as the second set value, the winning probability of the second special combination by the combination lottery means is different between the first set value and the second set value, and the combination lottery means has a plurality of the combination lottery means. In the first bonus gaming state of the bonus gaming states, which is transferred by winning the first bonus winning combination of the bonus winning combinations, a lottery of the first predetermined winning combination is performed as the first special winning combination, and among the plurality of bonus winning combinations. In the second bonus gaming state of the bonus gaming states that shifts due to the winning of the second bonus winning combination, a lottery for the second predetermined winning combination is performed as the first special winning combination, and the special game based on the winning of the first predetermined winning combination is performed.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the initial RT state (RT0), the push order bells (winning combination groups "left correct answer bell 1" to "left correct answer bell 4", "middle correct answer bell 1" to "middle correct answer bell 4", When “right correct answer bell 1” to “right correct answer bell 4”: see FIG. 7) are missed (bell spilled), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the normal RT state (RT1), and the game state is changed. It shifts to the normal RT state (RT1). The bell spill is a component of the push order bell by operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in a push order other than the advantageous push order (9 payouts) set according to the type of push order bell. By operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R at the operation timing that does not match the winning timing of the constituent combination other than the constituent combination corresponding to the advantageous pressing order (one combination of pressing order failure), the pressing order is correct. It means that neither the 9-card role nor the 1-card role with a failed push order could be won.

Further, in the normal RT state (RT1), any of the constituent roles "RTT1" to "RTT9" (see FIG. 7) of the winning combination group "promotion replay" is won and the winning combination group "promotion replay" is won. When the crab is won, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the advantageous RT state (RT2), and the game state shifts to the advantageous RT state (RT2). Further, when a bell spill occurs in the advantageous RT state (RT2), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the normal RT state (RT1), and the game state shifts to the normal RT state (RT1).

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in any of the game states of the initial RT state (RT0), the normal RT state (RT1), and the advantageous RT state (RT2), the winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", and "RBB3" If the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line is not the symbol combination related to the bonus combination that constitutes the winning winning combination group among the winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", and "RBB3" (non-). (Winning), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the bonus internal winning (RT3), and the game state shifts to the bonus internal winning (RT3).

In addition, in the gaming state during the bonus internal winning (RT3), which is transferred when the winning combination group "RBB1" is won and the bonus combination of the combination name "RBB1" constituting the winning combination group "RBB1" is not won. , When the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line is a symbol combination related to the bonus combination "RBB1" (corresponding to the "bonus combination" of the present invention) constituting the winning combination group "RBB1" (winning), the game state setting means 100b Sets the gaming state to the RBB1 general gaming state in the RBB1 state (corresponding to the "bonus gaming state" of the present invention), and the gaming state shifts to the RBB1 general gaming state. In addition, the bonus internal winning is transferred when the winning combination group "RBB2" is won and the bonus combination "RBB2" (corresponding to the "bonus combination" of the present invention) constituting the winning combination group "RBB2" is not won. In the middle (RT3) gaming state, when the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line is the symbol combination related to the bonus combination "RBB2" constituting the winning combination group "RBB2" (winning), the gaming state setting means 100b is in the gaming state. Is set to the RBB2 general gaming state in the RBB2 state (corresponding to the "bonus gaming state" of the present invention), and the gaming state shifts to the RBB2 general gaming state. In addition, the bonus internal winning is transferred when the winning combination group "RBB3" is won and the bonus combination "RBB3" (corresponding to the "bonus combination" of the present invention) constituting the winning combination group "RBB3" is not won. In the middle (RT3) gaming state, when the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line is the symbol combination related to the bonus combination "RBB3" constituting the winning combination group "RBB3" (winning), the gaming state setting means 100b is in the gaming state. Is set to the RBB3 general gaming state in the RBB3 state (corresponding to the "bonus gaming state" of the present invention), and the gaming state shifts to the RBB3 general gaming state.

Further, end conditions are set for each of the RBB1 state, the RBB2 state, and the RBB3 state, and the game state setting means 100b is next when the end condition is satisfied in the game state of the RBB1 state, as shown in FIG. The game state is set to the initial RT state (RT0) from the game of, and the game state shifts to the initial RT state (RT0). Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the initial RT state (RT0) from the next game when the end condition is satisfied in the game state in the RBB2 state, and the game state is initially set. It shifts to the RT state (RT0). Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the initial RT state (RT0) from the next game when the end condition is satisfied in the game in the RBB3 state, and the game state is the initial RT. It shifts to the state (RT0). In this embodiment, in the RBB1 state, the termination condition is set so that the number of payouts exceeds a preset predetermined number (200 in this embodiment) in both the AT non-allowable state and the AT-allowed state. ing. Further, in the RBB2 state, the end condition is set that the number of payouts exceeds a preset predetermined number (100 in this embodiment) in both the AT non-allowable state and the AT-allowed state. Further, in the RBB3 state, the end condition is set that the number of payouts exceeds a preset predetermined number (150 in this embodiment) in both the AT non-allowable state and the AT-allowed state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the winning combination group "good shift RB1" is won in the gaming state of the RBB1 general gaming state, the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line constitutes the winning combination group "good shift RB1". If it is not a symbol combination related to the bonus combination "RB1" (non-winning), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the good shift RB1 carry-over state, and shifts to the shift RB1 carry-over state in which the game state is good.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in a good shift RB1 carry-over state, the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line constitutes the winning combination group "good shift RB1", and the bonus combination "RB1" (the "first special combination" of the present invention). In the case of a symbol combination (corresponding to) (corresponding to), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to a good shift RB1 state (corresponding to the “first special game state” of the present invention), and the game state is a good shift. It shifts to the RB1 state. A good shift RB1 state is a gaming state in which the probability of winning a small winning combination with a medal payout is higher than in the normal gaming state (RT0, RT1, RT2).

Further, the end condition is defined in the good shift RB1 state, and as shown in FIG. 5, the game state setting means 100b starts from the next game when the end condition is satisfied in the game state in the good shift RB1 state. Is set to the RBB1 general gaming state, and the gaming state shifts to the RBB1 general gaming state. In this embodiment, the number of times the winning combination group "special bell" and "all small roles" are won and the winning combination is won is eight times, and the shift RB1 state is good. It is set as an end condition that any one of the 12 times that the game in the game has passed is satisfied (corresponding to the "end condition of the first special gaming state" of the present invention).

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the gaming state of the RBB1 general gaming state, when the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is won, the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line constitutes the winning combination group "No good shift RB". When the combination of symbols is one of the combinations "RB4" to "RB9" (these bonus combinations correspond to the "second special combination" and "third predetermined combination" of the present invention) (winning), the game state setting. The means 100b sets the gaming state to the useless shift RB1 state (corresponding to the “second special gaming state” of the present invention), and the gaming state shifts to the useless shift RB1 state. However, in this embodiment, when the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is won, the symbol is made so that one of the bonus combinations "RB4" to "RB9" constituting the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is always won. The array is set. The useless shift RB1 state is a gaming state in which the probability of winning a small winning combination with a medal payout is higher than that in the normal gaming state (RT0, RT1, RT2).

Further, the end condition is defined in the bad shift RB1 state, and as shown in FIG. 5, when the end condition is satisfied in the game state in the bad shift RB1 state, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state from the next game to RBB1. It is set to the general gaming state, and the gaming state shifts to the RBB1 general gaming state. In this embodiment, the number of times the winning combination group "all small roles" is won and the winning combination is won 8 times, and the game in the bad shift RB1 state is 12 times. It is set as the end condition that any one of the elapsed things is satisfied (corresponding to the "end condition of the second special gaming state" of the present invention).

In any of the RBB1 general game state, the good shift RB1 carry-over state, the good shift RB1 state, and the bad shift RB1 state, when the above-mentioned end condition of the RBB1 state is satisfied, the game state is set to the initial RT from the next game. It is set to the state (RT0) and shifts to the initial RT state (RT0).

The transition control from the RBB1 state to the initial RT state (RT0) is performed as follows. The game state setting means 100b sets the count value of the medal payout counter 658 to 0 at the time of transition from the bonus internal winning (RT3) to the RBB1 state, and sets the number of medals paid out to the medal payout counter 658 each time the medal is paid out. When it is added to the count value and the count value of the medal payout counter 658 exceeds the specified number, the game state is set to the initial RT state (RT0) from the next game.

The transition control from the good shift RB1 state to the RBB1 general game state is performed as follows. The game state setting means 100b sets the count values of the winning counter 659 and the game number counter 660 to 0 at the time of transition from the good shift RB1 carry-over state to the good shift RB1 state, and counts the game number counter 660 every time the game is played. 1 is added to the value, and 1 is added to the count value of the winning counter 659 each time a winning combination is won in the winning combination groups "special bell" and "all small combinations". Then, when the count value of the game number counter 660 becomes 12 or the count value of the winning counter 659 becomes 8, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the RBB1 general game state from the next game.

The transition control from the bad shift RB1 state to the RBB1 general game state is performed as follows. The game state setting means 100b sets the count values of the winning counter 659 and the game number counter 660 to 0 at the time of transition from the RBB1 general game state to the useless shift RB1 state, and sets the count value of the game number counter 660 to 0 each time the game is played. 1 is added, and 1 is added to the count value of the winning counter 659 each time a winning combination is won in the winning combination group "all small combinations". Then, when the count value of the game number counter 660 becomes 12 or the count value of the winning counter 659 becomes 8, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the RBB1 general game state from the next game.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the winning combination group "good shift RB2" is won in the gaming state of the RBB2 general gaming state, the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line constitutes the winning combination group "good shift RB2". If it is not a symbol combination related to the bonus combination "RB2" (non-winning), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the good shift RB2 carry-over state, and shifts to the shift RB2 carry-over state where the game state is good.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in a good shift RB2 carry-over state, the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line constitutes the winning combination group "good shift RB2", and the bonus combination "RB2" (the "first special combination" of the present invention). In the case of a symbol combination (corresponding to) (corresponding to), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to a good shift RB2 state (corresponding to the “first special game state” of the present invention), and the game state is a good shift. It shifts to the RB2 state. A good shift RB2 state is a gaming state in which the probability of winning a small winning combination with a medal payout is higher than in the normal gaming state (RT0, RT1, RT2).

Further, the end condition is defined in the good shift RB2 state, and as shown in FIG. 5, the game state setting means 100b starts from the next game when the end condition is satisfied in the game state in the good shift RB2 state. Is set to the RBB2 general gaming state, and the gaming state shifts to the RBB2 general gaming state. In this embodiment, the number of times the winning combination group "special bell" and "all small roles" are won and the winning combination is won is eight times, and the shift RB2 state is good. It is set as the end condition that any one of the 12 times of the game in the game is satisfied (corresponding to the "end condition of the first special gaming state" of the present invention).

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the gaming state of the RBB2 general gaming state, when the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is won, the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line constitutes the winning combination group "No good shift RB". In the case of a symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations "RB4" to "RB9" (winning), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the useless shift RB2 state (corresponding to the "second special game state" of the present invention). Then, the game state shifts to the useless shift RB2 state. However, in this embodiment, when the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is won, the symbol is made so that one of the bonus combinations "RB4" to "RB9" constituting the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is always won. The array is set. The useless shift RB2 state is a gaming state in which the probability of winning a small winning combination with a medal payout is higher than that in the normal gaming state (RT0, RT1, RT2).

Further, the end condition is defined in the bad shift RB2 state, and as shown in FIG. 5, when the end condition is satisfied in the game state in the bad shift RB2 state, the game state setting means 100b changes the game state from the next game to RBB2. It is set to the general gaming state, and the gaming state shifts to the RBB2 general gaming state. In this embodiment, the number of times the winning combination group "all small roles" is won and the winning combination is won 8 times, and the game in the bad shift RB2 state is 12 times. It is set as the end condition that any one of the elapsed things is satisfied (corresponding to the "end condition of the second special gaming state" of the present invention).

In any of the RBB2 general game state, the good shift RB2 carry-over state, the good shift RB2 state, and the bad shift RB2 state, when the above-mentioned end condition of the RBB2 state is satisfied, the game state is set to the initial RT from the next game. It is set to the state (RT0) and shifts to the initial RT state (RT0).

The game state setting means 100b sets the count value of the medal payout counter 658 to 0 at the time of transition from the bonus internal winning (RT3) to the RBB2 state, and sets the number of medals paid out to the medal payout counter 658 each time the medal is paid out. When it is added to the count value and the count value of the medal payout counter 658 exceeds the specified number, the game state is set to the initial RT state (RT0) from the next game.

The transition control from the good shift RB2 state to the RBB2 general game state is performed as follows. The game state setting means 100b sets the count values of the winning counter 659 and the game number counter 660 to 0 at the time of transition from the good shift RB2 carry-over state to the good shift RB2 state, and counts the game number counter 660 every time the game is played. 1 is added to the value, and 1 is added to the count value of the winning counter 659 each time a winning combination is won in the winning combination groups "special bell" and "all small combinations". Then, when the count value of the game number counter 660 becomes 12 or the count value of the winning counter 659 becomes 8, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the RBB2 general game state from the next game.

The transition control from the bad shift RB2 state to the RBB2 general game state is performed as follows. The game state setting means 100b sets the count values of the winning counter 659 and the game number counter 660 to 0 at the time of transition from the RBB2 general game state to the useless shift RB2 state, and sets the count value of the game number counter 660 to 0 each time the game is played. 1 is added, and 1 is added to the count value of the winning counter 659 each time a winning combination is won in the winning combination group "all small combinations". Then, when the count value of the game number counter 660 becomes 12 or the count value of the winning counter 659 becomes 8, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the RBB2 general game state from the next game.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the winning combination group "good shift RB3" is won in the gaming state of the RBB3 general gaming state, the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line constitutes the winning combination group "good shift RB3". If it is not a symbol combination related to the bonus combination "RB3" (non-winning), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the good shift RB3 carry-over state, and shifts to the shift RB3 carry-over state where the game state is good.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in a good shift RB3 carry-over state, the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line constitutes the winning combination group "good shift RB3", and the bonus combination "RB3" (the "first special combination" of the present invention). In the case of a symbol combination (corresponding to) (corresponding to), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to a good shift RB3 state (corresponding to the “first special game state” of the present invention), and the game state is a good shift. It shifts to the RB3 state. A good shift RB3 state is a gaming state in which the probability of winning a small winning combination with a medal payout is higher than in the normal gaming state (RT0, RT1, RT2).

Further, the end condition is defined in the good shift RB3 state, and as shown in FIG. 5, the game state setting means 100b starts from the next game when the end condition is satisfied in the game state in the good shift RB3 state. Is set to the RBB3 general gaming state, and the gaming state shifts to the RBB3 general gaming state. In this embodiment, the number of times the winning combination group "special bell" and "all small roles" are won and the winning combination is won is eight times, and the shift RB3 state is good. It is set as an end condition that any one of the 12 times that the game in the game has passed is satisfied (corresponding to the "end condition of the first special gaming state" of the present invention).

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the gaming state of the RBB3 general gaming state, when the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is won, the combination of the stop symbols of the winning line constitutes the winning combination group "No good shift RB". In the case of a symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations "RB4" to "RB9" (winning), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the useless shift RB3 state (corresponding to the "second special game state" of the present invention). Then, the game state shifts to the useless shift RB3 state. However, in this embodiment, when the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is won, the symbol is made so that one of the bonus combinations "RB4" to "RB9" constituting the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is always won. The array is set. The useless shift RB3 state is a gaming state in which the probability of winning a small winning combination with a medal payout is higher than that in the normal gaming state (RT0, RT1, RT2).

Further, the end condition is defined in the bad shift RB3 state, and as shown in FIG. 5, when the end condition is satisfied in the game state in the bad shift RB3 state, the game state setting means 100b changes the game state from the next game to the RBB3. It is set to the general gaming state, and the gaming state shifts to the RBB3 general gaming state. In this embodiment, the number of times that the winning combination group "all small roles" is won and the winning combination is won 8 times, and the game in the bad shift RB3 state is 12 times. It is set as the end condition that any one of the elapsed things is satisfied (corresponding to the "end condition of the second special gaming state" of the present invention).

In any of the RBB3 general game state, the good shift RB3 carry-over state, the good shift RB3 state, and the bad shift RB3 state, when the above-mentioned end condition of the RBB3 state is satisfied, the game state is set to the initial RT from the next game. It is set to the state (RT0) and shifts to the initial RT state (RT0).

The transition control from the RBB3 state to the initial RT state (RT0) is performed as follows. The game state setting means 100b sets the count value of the medal payout counter 658 to 0 at the time of transition from the bonus internal winning (RT3) to the RBB3 state, and sets the number of medals paid out each time the medal payout counter 658. When the count value of the medal payout counter 658 exceeds the specified number, the game state is set to the initial RT state (RT0) from the next game.

The transition control from the good shift RB3 state to the RBB3 general game state is performed as follows. The game state setting means 100b sets the count values of the winning counter 659 and the game number counter 660 to 0 at the time of transition from the good shift RB3 carry-over state to the good shift RB3 state, and counts the game number counter 660 every time the game is played. 1 is added to the value, and 1 is added to the count value of the winning counter 659 each time a winning combination is won in the winning combination groups "special bell" and "all small combinations". Then, when the count value of the game number counter 660 becomes 12 or the count value of the winning counter 659 becomes 8, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the RBB3 general game state from the next game.

The transition control from the bad shift RB3 state to the RBB3 general game state is performed as follows. The game state setting means 100b sets the count values of the winning counter 659 and the game number counter 660 to 0 at the time of transition from the RBB3 general game state to the useless shift RB3 state, and sets the count value of the game number counter 660 to 0 each time the game is played. 1 is added, and 1 is added to the count value of the winning counter 659 each time a winning combination is won in the winning combination group "all small combinations". Then, when the count value of the game number counter 660 becomes 12 or the count value of the winning counter 659 becomes 8, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the RBB3 general game state from the next game.

(1-3) AT allowable state setting means 100c
The AT permissible state setting means 100c has a slot machine 1 in one of an AT non-permissible state (special game non-permissible state) that does not allow AT games and an AT permissible state (special game permissible state) that allows AT games. It sets the state of. When the game state is the AT non-permissible state and the initial RT state (RT0), the normal RT state (RT1), and the advantageous RT state (RT2), the winning combination groups "RBB1" and "RBB1" which are AT-allowable simultaneous winning combinations When it is decided to shift to the AT allowable state based on the winning of any of "RBB2", "RBB3", and "CH" (AT allowable transition to determine whether to shift from the AT non-allowable state to the AT allowable state) When the lottery (corresponding to the "allowable state transition lottery" of the present invention) is won, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state. In other words, the winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", and "RBB3" in which the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a of the winning combination lottery means 103 based on the start of the game by operating the start switch 19 is an AT-allowed simultaneous winning combination. If it is within the numerical range for winning any of the winning combinations of "CH" and "CH", the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state.

On the other hand, even in the AT non-allowable state, when the initial RT state (RT0), the normal RT state (RT1), and the advantageous RT state (RT2) are other than, the winning combination lottery means based on the game start by the operation of the start switch 19. Even if the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a of 103 is within the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "CH", which is the AT-allowed simultaneous winning combination, the AT-allowed state setting means 100c allows AT. The AT unacceptable state is maintained without setting the state.

In this embodiment, it is determined whether or not to shift from the AT non-allowable state to the AT allowable state only in the initial RT state (RT0), the normal RT state (RT1), and the advantageous RT state (RT2). However, it may be configured as follows. The winning combination group "RT0", the normal RT state (RT1), the advantageous RT state (RT2), and the winning combination group having no difference in the winning probability, determines whether or not to shift from the AT non-allowable state to the AT acceptable state. Bonus that shifts when you win "RBB1" and do not win a prize in the winning combination group "RBB1" During internal winning (RT3), you win a prize in the winning combination group "RBB1" with no setting difference in winning probability. RBB1 general game state to shift to, good shift to shift when winning the winning combination group "good shift RB1" with no setting difference in winning probability and not winning the constituent role of the winning combination group "good shift RB1" RB1 carry-over state, winning combination group "Good shift RB1" with no setting difference in winning probability Good shift RB1 state to move by winning a prize, winning in winning combination group "RBB2" with no setting difference in winning probability Bonus that shifts when you do not win a prize in the winning combination group "RBB2" Internal winning (RT3), RBB2 general that shifts by winning a winning combination in the winning combination group "RBB2" with no setting difference in winning probability Good shift RB2 carry-over state, winning probability that shifts when the winning combination group "good shift RB2" with no setting difference in the game state and winning probability is won and does not win the constituent role of the winning combination group "good shift RB2" Winner group "RBB3" who wins the winning combination group "RBB3" with no setting difference in the winning combination group "RBB3" with no setting difference in the winning combination group "RBB3" Bonus internal winning (RT3) that shifts when you do not win the winning combination of the winning combination, RBB3 general game state that shifts to the winning combination of the winning combination group "RBB3" with no setting difference in the winning probability, to the winning probability Good shift RB3 carry-over state that shifts when the winning combination group "Good shift RB3" with no setting difference is won and the winning combination is not won in the winning combination group "Good shift RB3", winning with no setting difference in the winning probability The slot machine 1 may be configured to perform in all or part of the good shift RB3 states in which the winning combination is won and the transition is made in the winning combination of the combination group “good shift RB3”.

At this time, the AT permissible state setting means 100c notifies that the AT permissible state is identifiable by turning on the permissible state notification lamp 80. By notifying the outside that the AT is allowed, if the AT game is executed when the slot machine 1 is not in the AT allowed state, the slot machine 1 is in an abnormal state and there is a possibility of failure or fraud. You can judge that immediately.

By the way, push order bells (winning role group "left correct answer bell 1"-"left correct answer bell 4", "middle correct answer bell 1"-"middle correct answer bell 4", "right correct answer bell 1"-"right correct answer bell 4" ), It is difficult to win the winning combination of the push order bells except during the AT period, so it is difficult to stay in the initial RT state (RT0) or the advantageous RT state (RT2). Therefore, normally, when the gaming state is the normal RT state (RT1), the AT permissible transition lottery is won, and the AT permissible state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT permissible state. Further, after the AT permissible state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT permissible state, the AT game number determination means 100d, which will be described later, has the right to play an AT game on the AT period game number counter 654 (FIG. 4) (the present invention). Set the number of games (the number of AT game execution right games) that have (corresponding to the "right to play special games"). When the number of AT game execution right games is determined by the AT game number determining means 100d, the AT is being prepared from the non-AT state. Then, if the winning combination group "promotion replay" is won during the AT preparation in the normal RT state (RT1), the game shifts to the advantageous RT state (RT2) from the next game, and the AT period starts. During the AT period, push order bells (winning role groups "left correct answer bell 1" to "left correct answer bell 4", "middle correct answer bell 1" to "middle correct answer bell 4", "right" by the role lottery of the role lottery means 103 When the "correct answer bell 1" to "right correct answer bell 4": see FIG. 7) are won, the AT game is ready to be executed, which notifies the advantageous operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. In this embodiment, since the AT period is a period in which the probability of winning the re-game combination is set higher than that of the normal RT state (RT1), it is a so-called ART. Become.

Further, the AT permissible state setting means 100c sets a count value in the AT period game number counter 654, and then when the AT period starts, every time a game is executed regardless of whether or not the push order bell is won. By subtracting 1 from the count value of the AT period game number counter 654, the number of remaining games for which an AT game has the right (there is a possibility that an advantageous operation mode may be notified) is counted. Further, the AT permissible state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT permissible state (lights the permissible state notification lamp 80), and the permissible period game is performed every time the game is executed regardless of the type of the game. By adding 1 to the count value of the number counter 653, the duration of the AT allowable state is counted.

Further, the AT permissible state setting means 100c satisfies (1) when the end condition of the AT permissible state that the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0 is satisfied, or (2) the end condition is satisfied. If the count value of the game number counter 653 during the permissible period reaches a predetermined value (for example, 1500), or (3) the winning combination group "RBB1" wins the AT permissible transition lottery and enters the AT permissible state. At the time of transition, an AT right grant lottery for determining whether or not to grant the right to perform an AT game between the transition to the AT allowable state and the end of the RBB1 state (corresponding to the "special game right grant lottery" of the present invention). ) Was not won (it was not decided to grant the right to play AT games), or (4) the winning combination group "RBB2" was elected to win the AT permissible transition lottery. When the AT allowed state is entered, if the AT right granting lottery that determines whether or not to grant the right to perform the AT game is not won between the transition to the AT allowed state and the end of the RBB2 state, the case is not won. Alternatively, (5) When the winning combination group "RBB3" wins the AT-allowed transition lottery and shifts to the AT-allowed state, the right to play the AT game between the transition to the AT-allowed state and the end of the RBB3 state. If the AT right granting lottery for determining whether or not to grant the title is not won, the slot machine 1 is set to the AT non-permissible state (end of the AT permissible state). Further, the AT permissible state setting means 100c turns off the permissible state notification lamp 80 when the slot machine 1 is set to the AT non-permissible state. At this time, the AT permissible state setting means 100c resets the count value of the permissible period game number counter 653 to "0", and adds the count value before the reset to the total permissible period game number counter 656.

The AT permissible state setting means 100c maintains the AT permissible state at the timing when the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0, and falls after the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0. If the lottery is won, the AT may be set to the non-allowable state. The fall lottery is, for example, performed for each game won by a winning combination group other than the winning combination group "special role" after the end of the AT period, and is configured to fall (win) with a probability of 1/8. If the winning combination group "special combination" is won before the fall lottery is won, for example, the number of AT games is determined by the AT game number determination means 100d, and the player returns to the AT period. In the case of this configuration, if the push order bell is won between the end of the AT period and the winning of the fall lottery, the liquid crystal display 27 and the notification display 60 notify the advantageous push order. You may do so. In this way, the advantageous RT (RT2) is maintained until the fall lottery is won, so that ART can be performed immediately after returning to AT.

In addition, the end condition of the AT permissible state is the condition after winning the AT permissible transition lottery (the result of the winning combination after the AT permissible, the number of games elapsed since the transition to the AT permissible state, and the AT permissible state. It may be changed as appropriate according to the number of medals to be paid out since then). By being able to change the end conditions of the AT allowable state in various ways, it is possible to further improve the playability.

(1-4) AT game number determination means 100d
The AT game number determination means 100d determines the number of games (the number of AT game execution right games) for which the lottery value determination determination means 103b has the right to perform the AT game in the game determined to have won the AT right grant lottery. In this embodiment, each time the AT right granting lottery is won, a predetermined number of games is determined as the number of AT game execution right games, and the predetermined number of games is added to the count value of the AT period game number counter 654. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, when the AT game number determination means 100d wins the AT right granting lottery by winning the winning combination group "Good Shift RB1" in the RBB1 general game state, the AT game execution right game If 50 games are determined as the number and the AT right granting lottery is won by winning the winning combination group "Good Shift RB2" in the RBB2 general game state, 100 games are determined as the number of AT game execution right games, and the RBB3 general game state. If the winning combination group "Good Shift RB3" wins the AT right granting lottery, 200 games are determined as the number of AT game execution right games. In this way, the number of AT game execution right games based on the winning of each of the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB1", "Good Shift RB2", and "Good Shift RB3" is different from each other, and the winning combination group "Good Shift RB3", The number of AT game execution right games granted in the order of description of "good shift RB2" and "good shift RB1" is increasing. Further, the AT game number determining means 100d determines 10 games as the number of AT game execution right games when the AT right granting lottery is won by winning the winning combination groups "special role" and "special bell".

(1-6) AT playable state determining means 100e
If the AT gameable state determining means 100e wins the winning combination group "promotion replay" during the AT preparation after shifting to the AT allowable state by winning the AT allowable transition lottery, the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is pushed. In the case of the forward bell, it is determined that the AT game is possible, and the flag during the AT period set in the flag storage area 651 is set to ON.

Further, the AT game enable state determining means 100e maintains the ON setting of the flag during the AT period when the number of games of the AT period games counted by the AT period game number counter 654 remains. Further, the AT game enable state determining means 100f sets the flag to OFF during the AT period when the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0. If a fall lottery is performed after the end of the AT period and the AT allowable state is configured to end when this lottery is won, the AT allowable state does not end at the timing when the flag is set to OFF during the AT period. , The AT permissible state ends when the fall lottery is won after the flag is set to OFF during the AT period.

(1-7) Outline of Game Next, the outline of the game executed in the slot machine 1 will be described.

The slot machine 1 is configured so that one game (game) is played by inserting three medals, and the insertion sensor 53, the bet switch 15 or the maximum bet switch 17 is used to insert three medals into the slot machine 1. When the input is detected, the horizontal winning line at the bottom of the display window 11 becomes effective. When the start switch 19 is operated here, one of the preset winning combination groups is selected by the lottery process by the combination lottery means 103 by the lottery process using random numbers. Further, when all the rotations of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are started, the design of each reel 13L, 13M, and 13R displayed on the display window 11 can be determined by the rotation angle of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R. Is started based on.

After that, the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R accelerate, and the operations of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R become effective, and after the operations of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R become effective. , The left reel 13L is stopped when the operation of the left stop switch 21L is detected, the middle reel 13M is stopped when the operation of the middle stop switch 21M is detected, and the right reel is stopped when the operation of the right stop switch 21R is detected. 13R is stopped. In this way, by operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the rotation of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R corresponding to the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is stopped.

When all three left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, the rotation of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R is stopped. At this time, when the predetermined symbol is stopped at a predetermined position on the winning line at the lower stage of the display window 11 in which the predetermined symbol is valid, that is, the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are displayed in the symbol combination related to the winning of the winning combination. When it is displayed on the window 11, a prize is won, and the number of medals according to the winning mode is credited or paid out from the medal payment exit 39. In addition, instead of paying out medals, or at the same time as paying out medals, a predetermined profit (privilege) may be given to the player. The predetermined profit is, for example, without shifting to a bonus gaming state (RBB1 state, RBB2 state, RBB3 state) by winning a bonus role described later, or inserting a new medal by winning a replaying role described later. Examples include the number of bets automatically set to perform the next game with the same number of bets as the winning game and the transition of the game state.

As shown in FIG. 6, as the types of the combination, a bonus combination, a replay combination, and a small combination are preset. The bonus role is a transition role to the bonus game state. The replay combination (hereinafter, also referred to as replay) is a role in which, when a prize is won, the next game can be performed with the same number of bets as the winning game without inserting a new medal. A small winning combination is a winning combination in which a predetermined dividend (number of payouts) is obtained.

-Bonus combination As shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of types of bonus combinations with combination names "RBB1", "RBB2", "RBB3", and "RB1" to "RB9" are set as bonus combinations. Here, the bonus combination of the combination name "RBB1" is a constituent combination of the winning combination group "RBB1", and each reel 13L, 13M, with the symbol combination (R7-R7-R7) related to the bonus combination of the combination name "RBB1".

The bonus combination of the role name "RBB3" is a constituent role of the winning combination group "RBB3", and each reel 13L, 13M, 13R is stopped by the symbol combination (R7-R7-BR) related to the bonus combination of the role name "RBB3". Then, a prize is won and the gaming state shifts to the RBB3 state. The bonus combination of the role name "RB1" is a constituent role of the winning combination group "Good Shift RB1", and when each reel 13L, 13M, 13R stops in the symbol combination set as the bonus combination of the role name "RB1", a prize is awarded. Then, the game state shifts to the shift RB1 state where the game state is good. The bonus combination of the role name "RB2" is a constituent role of the winning combination group "Good Shift RB2", and when each reel 13L, 13M, 13R stops in the symbol combination set in the role name "RB2", a prize is won. It shifts to the shift RB2 state where the game state is good. The bonus combination of the role name "RB3" is a constituent role of the winning combination group "Good Shift RB3", and when each reel 13L, 13M, 13R stops in the symbol combination set in the role name "RB3", a prize is awarded. It shifts to the shift RB3 state where the game state is good. The bonus roles of the role names "RB4" to "RB9" are all constituents of the winning combination group "Dameshift RB", and each reel is a combination of symbols set for each of the bonus roles of the role names "RB4" to "RB9". When 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped, a prize is won, and when the gaming state at the time of winning is the RBB1 general gaming state, the gaming state shifts to the useless shift RB1 state, and when the gaming state at the time of winning is the RBB2 general gaming state. The game state shifts to the useless shift RB2 state, and when the game state at the time of winning is the RBB3 general game state, the game state shifts to the useless shift RB3 state. In this embodiment, even if each bonus combination is won, there is no payout, but a predetermined number of payouts may be given.

-Re-gaming combination As the re-gaming combination, a plurality of types of re-gaming combination with role names "RPC" and "RTT1" to "RTT9" are set. Here, the replaying role of the role name "RPC" is a replaying role irrelevant to the transition of the gaming state, and is a constituent role of the winning combination group "normal replay". The replaying roles of the role names "RTT1" to "RTT9" are all replaying roles related to the transition of the gaming state, and are constituents of the winning combination group "promotion replay". In addition, when the symbol combinations related to the winning of the re-game combination are aligned on the winning line, the game can be played under the same conditions as the previous game without inserting a new medal.

-Small roles As small roles, a plurality of types of small roles with role names "BE", "ATA1" to "ATA12", "CHBE", and "CH" are set. Here, the small roles of the role name "BE" are the winning combination groups "Left Correct Answer Bell 1"-"Left Correct Answer Bell 4", "Medium Correct Answer Bell 1"-"Medium Correct Answer Bell 4", "Right Correct Answer Bell 1"- "Right correct answer 4" (push order bell) Each component, and when the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated in the correct push order set for each type of push order bell, a winning combination (number of payouts) It is set as 9 sheets). The small roles of the role names "ATA1" to "ATA12" are the constituents of the push order bell, and the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R were not operated in the correct push order set for each type of push order bell. It is set as a winning combination (1 payout). The small role of the role name "CHBE" is a constituent role of the winning combination group "Special Bell", and it is not the target of the role lottery in the bad shift RB1 state, the bad shift RB2 state, and the bad shift RB3 state, but the good shift RB1 state is good. In the shift RB2 state and the good shift RB3 state, the winning combination is subject to lottery. In addition, when the symbol combinations related to the winning of the role name "CHBE" are aligned on the winning line, nine medals will be paid out. The small role of the role name "CH" is a constituent role of the winning combination group "special role". In addition, when the symbol combinations related to the winning of the role name "CH" are aligned on the winning line, one medal is paid out.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control means 101 (corresponding to the “setting value setting means” of the present invention) of FIG. 4 sets one setting value from a plurality of setting values (settings 1 to 6) having different payout rates. This set value is for selecting the winning combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102 described later, and the initial RT state (RT0) is set in each of the plurality of winning combination lottery tables 671 stored in the ROM 67. Normal RT state (RT1), advantageous RT state (RT2), bonus internal winning (RT3), RBB1 general game state, good shift RB1 carry-over state, good shift RB1 state, bad shift RB1 state, RBB2 general game state, good shift RB2 Any of settings 1 to 6 in each of the carry-over state, the good shift RB2 state, the bad shift RB2 state, the RBB3 general game state, the good shift RB3 carry-over state, the good shift RB3 state, and the bad shift RB3 state is associated. Then, the setting control means 101 determines the ON / OFF state of the change processing start switch 56 when the power is turned on (when the power switch 50 is turned ON), and the power is turned on with the change processing start switch 56 turned ON. Then, the predetermined setting change process is started. The medal payout rate is calculated by dividing the total number of payouts by the total number of inserts x 100 [%]. In this embodiment, the payout rate increases as the set value increases. For example, the payout rate increases. Setting 1 is set to 98%, and setting 6 is set to 115%.

Here, initial RT state (RT0), normal RT state (RT1), advantageous RT state (RT2), bonus internal winning (RT3), RBB1 general game state, good shift RB1 carry-over state, good shift RB1 state, bad shift RB1 Winning in each game state of state, RBB2 general game state, good shift RB2 carry-over state, good shift RB2 state, bad shift RB2 state, RBB3 general game state, good shift RB3 carry-over state, good shift RB3 state, bad shift RB3 state The probabilities are set in a plurality of stages (see FIGS. 8 to 17) that are distinguished by a plurality of types of setting values (6 types in this case), and each of the setting values in the plurality of stages is set in the winning combination lottery table 671 shown in FIG. Are associated with each other. Then, when the above setting change process is started, the administrator of the pachinko hall in which the slot machine 1 is installed can change the setting value. At this time, the reset switch 52 is used, and after the setting change process is started, the set value is incremented by 1 each time the reset switch 52 is pressed so that the setting value can be changed. If the reset switch 52 is pressed at the time of setting 6, the setting returns to setting 1.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection means 102 of FIG. 4 is a type of game state (initial RT state (RT0), normal RT state (RT1), advantageous RT state (RT2), inside bonus) controlled by the game control means 100 on the main control board 63. Winning (RT3), RBB1 general game state, good shift RB1 carry-over state, good shift RB1 state, bad shift RB1 state, RBB2 general game state, good shift RB2 carry-over state, good shift RB2 state, bad shift RB2 state, RBB3 general game state , Good shift RB3 carry-over state, bad shift RB3 state), one combination lottery table is selected from a plurality of combination lottery tables 671 based on the setting values (settings 1 to 6) set by the setting control means 101. .. For example, in the normal RT state (RT1), the table selection means 102 serves as a winning combination lottery table according to the winning probability set values (settings 1 to 6), and the winning combination lottery table 671 (normal RT state (RT1) combination lottery table). ) Is selected.

(4) Role lottery means 103
The combination lottery means 103 of FIG. 4 includes a plurality of general combinations (small combination, replay combination) including a push order bell and a replay combination, and a bonus combination at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated to start the game. A winning combination lottery is performed in which whether or not a plurality of winning combinations (see FIGS. 6 and 7) are won is determined by a lottery value generated based on the start of the game.

Further, when the winning combination lottery means 103 is in the initial RT state (RT0), the normal RT state (RT1), and the advantageous RT state (RT2) in the AT non-allowable state, the lottery is the same as the lottery value used for the winning combination lottery. Using the value, an AT permissible transition lottery is performed to determine whether or not to transition from the AT non-allowable state to the AT permissible state.

Further, the winning combination lottery means 103 wins the initial RT state (RT0), the normal RT state (RT1), the advantageous RT state (RT2), and the winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", and "RBB3" in the AT allowable state. Bonus internal winning (RT3), RBB1 general game state, good shift RB1 carry-over state, good shift RB1 state, RBB2 general game state, good shift In the case of RB2 carry-over state, good shift RB2 state, RBB3 general game state, good shift RB3 carry-over state, and good shift RB3 state, the right to play AT games using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the combination lottery. An AT right grant lottery will be held to determine whether or not to grant.

The combination lottery means 103 includes a lottery value generating means 103a and a lottery value determination determining means 103b.

(4-1) Lottery value generating means 103a
In the lottery value generating means 103a, the random number generating means composed of the oscillating circuit and the counter circuit for counting the clock signal generated by the oscillating circuit is within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal). By extracting the generated random numbers for the lottery at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated, the lottery value for the winning combination lottery is generated. This lottery value is also used in the AT permissible transition lottery for determining whether or not to shift from the AT non-allowable state to the AT permissible state, and the AT right granting lottery for determining whether or not to grant the right to perform the AT game. Since the random number generating means is composed of a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generating means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 19 is operated is considered to be random, the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a can be substantially treated as a random number. The lottery value generating means 103a may generate a lottery value from a random number generated by a random number generator, or may generate a lottery value from a software random number. Further, the lottery value generating means 103a may generate a lottery value by performing a predetermined operation on the extracted random number value or the generated random number value.

(4-2) Lottery value determination determination means 103b
The lottery value determination determining means 103b determines which of the plurality of winning combination groups has been won by determining the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a.

Specifically, in the winning combination table 671, it is determined which of the plurality of winning winning combination groups shown in FIG. 7 is won or lost within the range of the lottery value generated by the random number generation means. The correspondence between the winning combination numerical range for winning the winning combination and the winning combination group is set in advance (see FIGS. 8 to 17). The lottery value determination determination means 103b refers to the winning combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selecting means 102, and determines which combination (winning combination group) the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a is set to win. Alternatively, by determining whether or not the player is set to lose, it is determined which of the plurality of winning combination groups has been won. Further, when the lottery value determination unit 103b is in the initial RT state (RT0), the normal RT state (RT1), and the advantageous RT state (RT2) in the AT non-allowable state, the lottery value is the lottery value used for the winning combination lottery. The same lottery value is used to perform an AT permissible transition lottery that determines whether or not to shift from the AT non-permissible state to the AT permissible state, and the lottery value is the winning combination group "RBB1", "RBB2", "RBB3" in the combination lottery. , If it is within the numerical range for winning any of the "special combination", it is decided to shift from the AT non-allowable state to the AT acceptable state. Further, when the lottery value determination determination means 103b determines that the lottery value is within the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "special combination" in the combination lottery, the lottery value determination means shifts from the AT non-allowable state to the AT allowable state. At the same time, it is decided to grant the right to play AT games. Further, the lottery value determination determination means 103b has an initial RT state (RT0), a normal RT state (RT1), an advantageous RT state (RT2), and winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", and "RBB3" in the AT allowable state. Bonus internal winning (RT3), RBB1 general game state, good shift RB1 carry-over state, RBB2 general game state, good shift RB2 carry-over state , RBB3 general game state, good shift RB3 carry-over state, AT right grant lottery to decide whether to grant the right to play AT game using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the combination lottery If the lottery value is within the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "special combination" in the combination lottery, it is determined that the right to perform the AT game is granted. Further, when the lottery value determination unit 103b is in the RBB1 general game state in the AT allowable state, the lottery value granting lottery is performed using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the combination lottery, and the lottery value is used as a combination. If it is within the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "Good Shift RB1" in the lottery, it is decided that the right to perform the AT game is granted. Further, when the lottery value determination unit 103b is in the RBB2 general game state in the AT allowable state, the lottery value granting lottery is performed using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the combination lottery, and the lottery value is used as a combination. If it is within the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "Good Shift RB2" in the lottery, it is decided to grant the right to perform the AT game. Further, when the lottery value determination unit 103b is in the RBB3 general game state in the AT allowable state, the lottery value granting lottery is performed using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the combination lottery, and the lottery value is used as a combination. If it is within the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "Good Shift RB3" in the lottery, it is decided to grant the right to perform the AT game. Further, when the lottery value determination unit 103b is in the good shift RB1 state, the good shift RB2 state, and the good shift RB3 state in the AT allowable state, the lottery value determination means 103b uses the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the winning combination lottery and AT. The right granting lottery is performed, and if the lottery value is within the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "special bell" in the combination lottery, it is determined that the right to perform the AT game is granted. As described above, in this embodiment, the AT right grant lottery is the initial RT state (RT0), the normal RT state (RT1), the advantageous RT state (RT2), the winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", "RBB3". Bonus internal winning (RT3), RBB1 general game state, good shift RB1 carry-over state, good shift RB1 state, RBB2 general game state, It is performed in the good shift RB2 carry-over state, good shift RB2 state, RBB3 general game state, good shift RB3 carry-over state, good shift RB3 state, and is not performed in the bad shift RB1 state, bad shift RB2 state, bad shift RB3 state. It has become. The winning combination lottery means 103 (lottery value determination determination means 103b) corresponds to the "allowable state processing means" of the present invention.

In addition, if the winning combination group "RBB1", "RBB2", "RBB3" is won and the winning combination group does not win the winning combination, the bonus internal winning (RT3) will be transferred to another. Regardless of the conditions, the AT permissible transition lottery and the AT right granting lottery may not be performed.

Further, in the winning combination lottery table 671, some lottery values are set to be duplicated in winning a plurality of winning combinations, so that the lottery value determination determining means 103b is the total lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a. The winning combination group shown in FIG. 7 is configured when the range is determined, that is, as the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103. In addition, among the winning combination groups shown in FIG. 7, for those composed of a plurality of roles (role names), when the winning combination group is internally elected, the symbol combinations related to all the roles constituting the winning combination group are aligned on the winning line. Will be in an acceptable state.

Further, when it is determined in the AT allowable transition lottery to shift from the AT non-allowable state to the AT allowable state, the slot machine 1 is set to the AT allowable state by the AT allowable state setting means 100c. Further, when it is determined in the AT right granting lottery that the right to perform an AT game is to be granted, the number of games having the right to perform an AT game (the number of AT game execution right games) is determined by the AT game number determining means 100d, and the AT game The number of execution right games is added to the count value of the AT period game number counter 654.

(5) Decision result storage means 104
The determination result storage means 104 of FIG. 4 stores information that can identify whether or not the bonus combination has been won as the determination result by the lottery value determination determination unit 103b in the first data area of the determination result storage area 652. Information that can identify whether or not the player has won the general role is stored in the second data area of the determination result storage area 652.

For example, each bonus combination is assigned a unique hexadecimal high-ranking combination number, and each general combination (replaying combination, small combination) is assigned a unique hexadecimal low-ranking combination number. Then, the determination result storage means 104 corresponds to the combination number assigned to the combination (including the case of loss) constituting the winning combination group, which is the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103, in the determination result storage area 652. Store in the data area.

(6) Stop control means 105
The stop control means 105 of FIG. 4 uses the stop table 672 of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R based on the operation mode of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R by the player and the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103. It controls the stop. The stop control means 105 is basically all of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R within the pullable range in order to win the winning combination (constituent combination) of the combination name belonging to the winning combination group determined by the combination lottery means 103. Stop control is performed to stop the constituent symbols on the winning line (lower row). Since the allowable number of sliding frames (retractable range: usually, maximum of 4 frames) is set for each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, if the operation timing does not match, the winning combination will be applied to the winning line. In some cases, it may not be possible to align the reels, and in such cases, omissions (non-winning) will occur.

A ratio indicator equipped with four 7-segment LEDs (not shown) is mounted on the main control board 63, and the stay ratio in the AT allowable state (allowable state stay ratio) and the number of payouts as a bonus to the total number of payouts Ratio (role ratio), ratio of total number of payouts in AT-allowed state to total number of cards in AT-allowed state, ratio of total number of payouts excluding bonus in AT-allowed state to total number of cards in AT-allowed state, Various ratios such as the ratio of the total number of sheets to be paid out in the AT non-allowable state to the total number of sheets in the AT non-allowable state, and the ratio of the total number of payouts to the total number of sheets in the AT non-allowable state excluding the bonus in the AT non-allowable state. Is calculated, and various ratios can be displayed on the ratio display. The total number of payouts used to calculate various ratios, the number of bonus payouts, the total number of inputs in the AT-allowed state, the total number of payouts in the AT-allowed state, the total number of payouts excluding bonuses in the AT-allowed state, and AT non- The total number of inputs in the allowable state, the total number of payouts in the AT non-allowable state, the total number of inputs in the AT non-allowable state, the total number of payouts excluding the bonus in the AT non-allowable state, etc. are now stored in the RAM 65. ing. The permissible state ratio calculating means 114 calculates the permissible state stay ratio among various ratios. In this case, the permissible state ratio calculation means 114 adds the count value of the total number of games counter 655 by 1 each time one game is digested. The counter 655 is basically not cleared and continues to be added semi-permanently for each game digestion. Further, the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 determines for each game whether or not the game is set to the AT permissible state by the AT permissible state setting means 100c, and the game (1) set to the AT permissible state. Every time the game) is exhausted, the count value of the total allowable period game number counter 656 is added by one. Like the total number of games counter 655, the total number of games counter 656 is basically configured so as not to be cleared. Then, the permissible state ratio calculation means 114 calculates the ratio of the period in which the slot machine 1 is in the AT permissible state based on the count value of the total game number counter 655 and the count value of the total permissible period game number counter 656. This ratio is stored in the permissible state stay ratio storage area 657.

Further, the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 calculates this ratio in the process from the stop of all reels 13L, 13M, 13R to the end of the game in each game, and the calculated value is set to the permissible state. The stay ratio storage area 657 is overwritten and stored. In addition, instead of calculating each game, it may be calculated at a predetermined opportunity such as when the reset switch 52 is pressed to display the ratio. At this time, when the reset switch 52 is pressed, the ratio is calculated based on the count value stored in the total number of games counter 655 and the count value stored in the total number of games counter 656 for the total allowable period. .. In this way, the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 calculates the permissible state stay ratio not at each game but at the display timing, so that it is possible to eliminate an excessive burden in normal game processing, and the processing efficiency. It is possible to ensure the fairness of the game machine while trying to improve the game. Further, the ratio may be calculated every time the total number of games increases by a certain number, and the number of times when the total number of games exceeds a certain value (for example, 60%) may be stored. Further, these ratios (permissible state stay ratio, accessory ratio) may be displayed by using the payout display 46.

(Example of game development)
Next, an example of the development of the game of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 19, the lottery value generating means 103a generates the same lottery value at the same timing of the setting 1 and the setting 2.

In settings 1 and 2, the winning combination group "RBB1" is elected and the constituent combination of the winning combination group "RBB1" at the time T1 in the initial RT state (RT0), the normal RT state (RT1), and the advantageous RT state (RT2). Due to the non-winning of "RBB1", the game state shifts to the bonus internal winning (RT3). Further, since the winning combination group "RBB1" is an AT-allowed simultaneous winning combination, it is determined that the winning combination group "RBB1" will shift from the AT non-allowable state to the AT-allowed state, and the slot machine 1 is AT-non-allowable. It shifts from the state to the AT allowable state. In the development example of FIG. 19, since the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "RBB1" is common in the settings 1 and 2, the winning combination group "RBB1" is elected at the time T1 in the settings 1 and 2. Is supposed to be.

In settings 1 and 2, the gaming state shifts to the RBB1 general gaming state by winning the constituent combination "RBB1" of the winning combination group "RBB1" at the time T2 during the bonus internal winning (RT3).

In settings 1 and 2, at time T3 in the RBB1 general game state, the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is won and any of the constituent roles "RB4" to "RB9" of the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is won. The gaming state of the slot machine 1 shifts to the useless shift RB1 state. Then, in the settings 1 and 2, the end condition of the bad shift RB1 state is satisfied at the time T4 in the bad shift RB1 state, whereby the gaming state of the slot machine 1 returns to the RBB1 general gaming state. The size of the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is larger in setting 1 than in setting 2, and the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is easier to win in setting 1 than in setting 2. In the time T3 of the development example of FIG. 19, the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is elected in both the settings 1 and 2.

In setting 1, at the time T5 in the RBB1 general game state, the slot machine is won by winning the winning combination group "No good shift RB" and winning any of the constituent roles "RB4" to "RB9" of the winning combination group "No good shift RB". The game state of 1 shifts to the useless shift RB1 state. Then, in the setting 1, at the time T7 in the bad shift RB1 state, the end condition of the bad shift RB1 state is satisfied, whereby the gaming state of the slot machine 1 returns to the RBB1 general gaming state. The size of the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "Dame Shift RB" is larger in setting 1 than in setting 2, and the winning combination group "Dame shift RB" is easier to win in setting 1 than setting 2. , In the development example of FIG. 19, at the time T5, the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is elected only in the setting 1.

In setting 2, at time T6 in the general gaming state of RBB1, the gaming state of the slot machine 1 is due to the winning of the winning combination group "good shift RB1" and the non-winning of the constituent role "RB1" of the winning combination group "good shift RB1". Shifts to a good shift RB1 carryover state. However, since the winning combination group "Good Shift RB1" is set as an AT right granting role, the right to play an AT game is granted in setting 2 (as shown in FIG. 18, the number of AT game execution right games is 50). The game is granted). Then, in the setting 2, at the time T8 in the good shift RB1 carry-over state, the slot machine 1 shifts to the good shift RB1 state by winning the constituent combination “RB1” of the winning combination group “good shift RB1”. Subsequently, in setting 2, the end condition of the good shift RB1 state is satisfied at the time T9 in the good shift RB1 state, whereby the gaming state of the slot machine 1 returns to the RBB1 general gaming state. If the numerical range for winning of the winning combination group "RBB1" in the RBB1 general game state is common in settings 1 and 2, and the lottery values generated by the lottery value generating means 103a in settings 1 and 2 are the same, the time is assumed. If the setting 1 is set to T6 and the RBB1 general game state is set, the winning combination group "good shift RB1" will be won. However, in the development example of FIG. 19, the winning combination group is in the bad shift RB1 state at the time T6 in the setting 1. "Good shift RB1" does not win.

In settings 1 and 2, at time T10 in the general gaming state of RBB1, the slot machine 1 is won by winning the winning combination group "good shift RB1" and not winning the constituent role "RB1" of the winning combination group "good shift RB1". The gaming state shifts to a good shift RB1 carry-over state. Then, in the settings 1 and 2, at the time T11 in the good shift RB1 carry-over state, the slot machine 1 shifts to the good shift RB1 state by winning the constituent combination “RB1” of the winning combination group “good shift RB1”. Subsequently, in the settings 1 and 2, the end condition of the good shift RB1 state is satisfied at the time T12 in the good shift RB1 state, whereby the gaming state of the slot machine 1 returns to the RBB1 general gaming state. In the development example of FIG. 19, since the numerical range for winning of the winning combination group "good shift RB1" is common in settings 1 and 2, the winning combination group "good shift RB1" is set at time T10 in settings 1 and 2. Is said to have won.

In settings 1 and 2, at the time T13 in the RBB1 general gaming state, the end condition of the RBB1 state is satisfied, and the gaming state of the slot machine 1 shifts to the initial RT state (RT0), which is one of the normal gaming states. The number of games from winning a winning combination of the winning combination group "RBB1" to paying out a specified number of medals is not the same in the normal settings 1 and 2, but is the same in the development example of FIG.

In this way, in the setting 1 and the setting 2, in the RBB1 state, which shifts when the winning combination group "RBB1" is won and the winning combination "RBB1" of the winning combination group "RBB1" is won, the winning combination group Since the winning probability of "bad shift RB" is higher in setting 1 than in setting 2, the section in the bad shift RB1 state, which is a section in which the AT right granting lottery is not possible, is longer in setting 1 than in setting 2. Therefore, in the RBB1 state, the expected value of the number of times the winning combination group "good shift RB1" is won is higher in the setting 2 than in the setting 1, and the AT right granting lottery is performed in the good shift RB1 carry-over state and the good shift RB1 state. The rate of stay ((section of good shift RB1 carry-over state + section of good shift RB1 state) ÷ section of RBB1 state) is longer in setting 2 than in setting 1. As a result, in the RBB1 state, the degree of expectation regarding the right to perform the AT game is higher in the setting 2 than in the setting 1.

In addition, in setting 1 and setting 6, in the RBB1 state, which shifts when the winning combination group "RBB1" is won and the winning combination group "RBB1" component "RBB1" is won, the winning combination group "No shift". Since the winning probability of "RB" is higher in setting 6 than in setting 1, the section in the bad shift RB1 state, which is a section in which the AT right granting lottery is not possible, is longer in setting 6 than in setting 1.

(Other examples of game development)
Next, another example of the development of the game of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 20, the lottery value generating means 103a generates the same lottery value at the same timing of the setting 1 and the setting 2.

In settings 1 and 2, the winning combination group "RBB2" is elected and the constituent combination of the winning combination group "RBB2" at the time T51 in the initial RR state (RT0), the normal RT state (RT1), and the advantageous RT state (RT2). Due to the non-winning of "RBB2", the game state shifts to the bonus internal winning (RT3). Further, since the winning combination group "RBB2" is an AT-allowed simultaneous winning combination, it is determined that the winning combination group "RBB2" will shift from the AT non-allowable state to the AT-allowed state, and the slot machine 1 is AT-non-allowable. It shifts from the state to the AT allowable state. In the development example of FIG. 20, since the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "RBB2" is common in the settings 1 and 2, the winning combination group "RBB2" is elected at the time T1 in the settings 1 and 2. Is supposed to be.

In settings 1 and 2, at the time T52 during the bonus internal winning (RT3), the gaming state shifts to the RBB2 general gaming state by winning the constituent role "RBB2" of the winning combination group "RBB2".

In settings 1 and 2, at time T53 in the RBB2 general game state, the winning combination group "Dame Shift RB" is won and any of the constituent roles "RB4" to "RB9" of the winning combination group "Dame Shift RB" is won. The gaming state of the slot machine 1 shifts to the useless shift RB2 state. Then, in the settings 1 and 2, the end condition of the bad shift RB2 state is satisfied at the time T54 in the bad shift RB2 state, whereby the gaming state of the slot machine 1 returns to the RBB2 general gaming state. The size of the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "Dame Shift RB" is larger in setting 2 than in setting 1, and the winning combination group "Dame shift RB" is easier to win in setting 2 than setting 1. In the time T53 of the development example of FIG. 20, the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is elected in both the settings 1 and 2.

In setting 2, at the time T55 in the RBB2 general game state, the slot machine is won by winning the winning combination group "No good shift RB" and winning any of the constituent roles "RB4" to "RB9" of the winning combination group "No good shift RB". The game state of 1 shifts to the useless shift RB2 state. Then, in the setting 2, at the time T57 in the bad shift RB2 state, the end condition of the bad shift RB2 state is satisfied, whereby the gaming state of the slot machine 1 returns to the RBB2 general gaming state. The size of the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "Dame Shift RB" is larger in setting 2 than in setting 1, and the winning combination group "Dame shift RB" is easier to win in setting 2 than setting 1. In the development example of FIG. 20, at the time T55, the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is won only at setting 2.

In setting 1, the gaming state of the slot machine 1 is due to the fact that the winning combination group "Good Shift RB2" is won and the constituent role "RB2" of the winning combination group "Good Shift RB2" is not won at the time T56 in the RBB2 general gaming state. Shifts to a good shift RB2 carryover state. However, since the winning combination group "Good Shift RB2" is set as an AT right granting role, the right to play an AT game is granted in setting 1 (as shown in FIG. 18, the number of AT game execution right games is 100). The game is granted). Then, in the setting 1, at the time T58 in the good shift RB2 carry-over state, the slot machine 1 shifts to the good shift RB2 state by winning the constituent combination “RB2” of the winning combination group “good shift RB2”. Subsequently, in setting 1, the end condition of the good shift RB2 state is satisfied at the time T59 in the good shift RB2 state, whereby the gaming state of the slot machine 1 returns to the RBB2 general gaming state. If the numerical range for winning of the winning combination group "RBB2" in the RBB2 general game state is common in settings 1 and 2, and the lottery values generated by the lottery value generating means 103a in settings 1 and 2 are the same, the time is assumed. If the RBB2 general game state is set to T56, the winning combination group "good shift RB2" will be won, but in the development example of FIG. 20, the winning combination group is in the bad shift RB2 state at the time T56 in setting 2. "Good shift RB2" does not win.

In settings 1 and 2, at the time T60 in the RBB2 general game state, the slot machine 1 is won by winning the winning combination group "good shift RB2" and not winning the constituent role "RB2" of the winning combination group "good shift RB2". The gaming state shifts to a good shift RB2 carry-over state. Then, in the settings 1 and 2, at the time T61 in the good shift RB2 carry-over state, the slot machine 1 shifts to the good shift RB2 state by winning the constituent combination “RB2” of the winning combination group “good shift RB2”. Subsequently, in the settings 1 and 2, the end condition of the good shift RB2 state is satisfied at the time T62 in the good shift RB2 state, whereby the gaming state of the slot machine 1 returns to the RBB2 general gaming state. In the development example of FIG. 20, since the numerical range for winning the winning combination group "good shift RB2" is common in settings 1 and 2, the winning combination group "good shift RB2" is set at time T60 in settings 1 and 2. Is said to have won.

In settings 1 and 2, the end condition of the RBB2 state is satisfied at the time T63 in the RBB2 general game state, and the game state of the slot machine 1 shifts to the initial RT state (RT0) which is one of the normal game states. The number of games from winning a winning combination of the winning combination group "RBB2" to paying out a specified number of medals is not the same in the normal settings 1 and 2, but is the same in the development example of FIG.

In this way, in the setting 1 and the setting 2, in the RBB2 state, which shifts when the winning combination group "RBB2" is won and the winning combination "RBB2" of the winning combination group "RBB2" is won, the winning combination group Since the winning probability of "bad shift RB" is higher in setting 2 than in setting 1, the section in the bad shift RB2 state, which is a section in which the AT right granting lottery is not possible, is longer in setting 2 than in setting 1. Therefore, in the RBB2 state, the expected value of the number of times the winning combination group "good shift RB2" is won is higher in the setting 1 than in the setting 2, and the AT right granting lottery is performed in the good shift RB2 carry-over state and the good shift RB2 state. The rate of stay ((section of good shift RB2 carry-over state + section of good shift RB2 state) ÷ section of RBB2 state) is longer in setting 1 than in setting 2. As a result, in the RBB2 state, the degree of expectation regarding the right to perform the AT game is higher in the setting 1 than in the setting 2.

In the game development examples of FIGS. 19 and 20, the RBB1 state corresponds to the "first bonus game state" of the present invention, the RBB2 state corresponds to the "second bonus game state" of the present invention, and the setting 1 Corresponds to the "first set value" of the present invention, and setting 2 corresponds to the "second set value" of the present invention.

According to the above-described embodiment, for example, in the RBB1 state in which the winning combination group "RBB1" is elected and the constituent combination "RBB1" of the winning combination group "RBB1" is won, the setting 1 is the winning combination rather than the setting 2. Since the winning probability of the group "No good shift RB" is set to be high, the period from the winning or winning of the winning combination group "RBB1" to the end of the RBB1 state (1 bonus period) is occupied by the period of the bad shift RB1 state. The ratio is higher in setting 1 than in setting 2. Therefore, in setting 2, the period during which the AT right granting lottery can be performed is higher in the 1 bonus period than in setting 1, and even if the winning probability of the AT right granting combination is the same in setting 1 and setting 2. , The degree of expectation regarding the right to perform AT games is higher in setting 2 than in setting 1.

Further, in the RBB1 state, the ratio of the period of the bad shift RB1 state to the 1 bonus period is higher in the setting 1 than in the setting 2, so the winning probability of the winning combination group "good shift RB1" is the same in the setting 1 and the setting 2. Even so, the probability that the winning combination group "Good Shift RB1" will be won is higher in Setting 2 than in Setting 1, and the ratio of good Shift RB1 status to 1 bonus period is higher in Setting 2 than in Setting 1. Become. A good shift RB1 state is a state in which the right to perform an AT game is more likely to be granted than in other states. Therefore, the degree of expectation regarding the right to perform AT games is higher in setting 2 than in setting 1.

Further, for example, in the RBB2 state in which the winning combination group "RBB2" is elected and the winning combination "RBB2" of the winning combination group "RBB2" wins, the setting 2 is set rather than the setting 1 of the winning combination group "No good shift RB". Since the winning probability is set to be high, the ratio of the bad shift RB2 state period to the period from winning or winning of the winning combination group "RBB2" to the end of the RBB2 state (1 bonus period) is set from setting 1. 2 is higher. Therefore, in setting 1, the period during which the AT right granting lottery can be performed is higher in the 1 bonus period than in setting 2, and even if the winning probability of the AT right granting combination is the same in setting 1 and setting 2. , The degree of expectation regarding the right to perform AT games is higher in setting 1 than in setting 2.

Also, in the RBB2 state, the ratio of the period of the bad shift RB2 state to the 1 bonus period is higher in the setting 2 than in the setting 1, so the winning probability of the winning combination group "good shift RB2" is the same in the setting 1 and the setting 2. Even so, the probability that the winning combination group "Good Shift RB2" will be won is higher in Setting 1 than in Setting 2, and the ratio of good Shift RB2 status to 1 bonus period is higher in Setting 1 than in Setting 2. Become. A good shift RB2 state is a state in which the right to perform an AT game is more likely to be granted than in other states. Therefore, the degree of expectation regarding the right to perform AT games is higher in setting 1 than in setting 2.

In addition, in the RBB1 state in which the winning combination group "RBB1" is elected and the winning combination "RBB1" of the winning combination group "RBB1" wins, the section in the bad shift RB1 state, which is a section in which the AT right granting lottery is not possible, is set to 2. Setting 1 is longer than that. On the other hand, in the RBB2 state in which the winning combination group "RBB2" is elected and the winning combination "RBB2" of the winning combination group "RBB2" wins, the section in the bad shift RB2 state, which is a section in which the AT right granting lottery is not possible, is set to 1. Setting 2 is longer than that. In this way, by providing a plurality of bonuses in the slot machine 1, the length of the section where the AT right granting lottery is not possible is longer in the setting 2 than in the setting 1, and in the setting 1 than in the setting 2. It is possible to set up a long bonus game state. As a result, depending on the type of bonus combination, setting 2 has a higher expectation of the right to play AT games than setting 1, and setting 1 has a higher expectation of the right to play AT games than setting 2. it can.

In addition, the number of AT game execution right games granted at the time of winning differs among the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB1", "Good Shift RB2", and "Good Shift RB3", and the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB1" and "Good Shift RB3". Game state that shifts by winning each of "RB2" and "good shift RB3" ("good shift RB1 carry-over state, good shift RB1 state", "good shift RB2 carry-over state, good shift RB2 state", "good shift RB3 carry-over state," Since the winning probability of the AT right granting combination is the same and the number of AT game execution right games granted by one winning is the same among the winning combination groups "good shift RB3 state"), the winning combination group "good shift RB1", "good" It is possible to make the expectations regarding the right to play AT games based on the winning of "Shift RB2" and "Good Shift RB3" different from each other. In this way, in the slot machine 1 having a plurality of bonuses (winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", "RBB3"), the slot machine 1 is made by different expectations regarding the right to perform AT games among the bonuses. The playability of the game is improved.

Further, in the RBB1 state, the winning combination group "Good Shift RB1", in which the number of AT game execution right games granted at the time of winning is as small as 50, is easier to win in setting 2 than in setting 1 (see FIG. 19). Further, in the RBB2 state, the winning combination group "Good Shift RB2", in which the number of AT game execution right games granted at the time of winning is relatively large at 100, is easier to win in setting 1 than in setting 2 (see FIG. 20). ). Furthermore, in the RBB3 state, the winning probability of the winning combination group "No Shift RB" is higher in setting 2 than in setting 1, so that the number of AT game execution right games granted at the time of winning is as large as 200. "Good shift RB3" is easier to win in setting 1 than in setting 2. In this way, when viewed as a whole game, it is possible to have a setting difference between the setting 1 and the setting 2 in the wave of the number of AT game execution right games to be granted.

Further, in the RBB1 state, the winning probability of the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is lower in setting 6 than in settings 1 and 2, so the number of AT game execution right games granted at the time of winning is as small as 50. The group "Good shift RB1" is easier to win in setting 6 than in settings 1 and 2. Further, in the RBB2 state, the winning probability of the winning combination group "No good shift RB" is lower in setting 6 than in settings 1 and 2, so the number of AT game execution right games granted at the time of winning is relatively large at 100. The winning combination group "Good Shift RB2" is easier to win in setting 6 than in settings 1 and 2. Furthermore, in the RBB3 state, the winning probability of the winning combination group "No Shift RB" is higher in setting 6 than in settings 1 and 2, so the number of AT game execution right games granted at the time of winning is as large as 200. In the group "Good shift RB3", setting 6 is more difficult to win than setting 1 and 2.

In addition, as the second special role (the special game right granting lottery is not performed until the end of the second special game state that shifts from the winning of the second special role to the winning of the second special role), the RBB1 general game state. , RBB2 general game state, RBB3 general game state uses a common winning combination group "No good shift RB", so even if the slot machine 1 has a plurality of bonus game states, it is related to the second special role. It is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of data to be generated.

In addition, the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB3", "Good Shift RB2", and "Good Shift RB1", which have high expectations regarding the right to play AT games, are the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB3", "Good Shift RB2", and "Good Shift RB2". The winning probabilities of the winning combination groups "RBB3", "RBB2", and "RBB1" that trigger the transition to the gaming state where there is a possibility of winning the "good shift RB1" are small. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game having the right to play the AT game from continuing excessively.

Further, in order to provide a setting difference regarding the granting of the right to perform the AT game, it is not necessary to change the numerical range for winning the AT right granting combination for each set value. Therefore, by sharing the numerical range for winning the AT right granting combination with each set value, it is possible to reduce the storage capacity required for storing the lottery value of the combination lottery table 671.

In addition, the player can receive a decision to shift to the AT allowable state at the same time as the bonus (RBB1, RBB2, RBB3) based on the winning of the winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", and "RBB3", which improves the interest. Can be planned.

In addition, when the winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", and "RBB3" are elected to the AT allowable state, the AT game is played between the transition to the AT allowable state and the end of the RBB1 state, the RBB2 state, and the RBB3 state. When the right to perform the above is not granted, the AT permissible state is terminated, so that it is possible to prevent the AT permissible state from continuing excessively.

In addition, the player can know that the right to perform the AT game has been granted by winning the winning combination group "special bell", and can further improve the interest.

In addition, the player will be given an AT right grant lottery from winning the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB1", "Good Shift RB2", and "Good Shift RB3" to the end of the Good Shift RB1 State, Good Shift RB2 State, and Good Shift RB3 State. In addition to the possibility that it will be performed, in the good shift RB1 state, the good shift RB2 state, and the good shift RB3 state, the expected value of the number of game media to be paid out per game is high, so it is possible to further improve the interest. it can.

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

For example, in the above-described embodiment, it is determined that the winning combination group "RBB1", "RBB2", and "RBB3" are elected to shift from the AT non-allowable state to the AT acceptable state, but the winning combination group "RBB1" , "RBB2", and "RBB3" may be determined to shift from the AT non-allowable state to the AT-allowed state by winning a winning combination (bonus combination). At this time, when the winning combination (bonus combination) constituting the winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", and "RBB3" wins the AT-allowed state, the AT-allowed state is changed to the RBB1 state and RBB2. If the right to perform the AT game is not granted by the end of the state and the RBB3 state, the AT allowed state may be changed to the AT non-allowed state.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the right to play AT games is always granted by winning each of the winning combination groups "Good shift RB1", "Good shift RB2", and "Good shift RB3", and the number of AT game execution right games to be granted. By making the winning combination groups different, the expectations regarding the right to play AT games based on the winning of each of the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB1", "Good Shift RB2", and "Good Shift RB3" are different. It is not limited, and may be, for example, as follows. When granting the right to play AT games by making the probability of granting the right to play AT games at the time of winning each of the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB1", "Good Shift RB2", and "Good Shift RB3" different. The same number of AT game execution right games may be given. In addition, the odds of granting the right to perform AT games at the time of winning each of the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB1", "Good Shift RB2", and "Good Shift RB3" are made different, and the right to perform AT games is granted. In some cases, different numbers of AT game execution right games may be given.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as the first special role (a special game right granting lottery can be performed until the first special game state transitioned from the winning of the first special role to the winning of the first special role is completed). , RBB1 general game state, RBB2 general game state, RBB3 general game state, different winning combination groups "good shift RB1", winning combination groups "good shift RB2", "good shift RB3" are provided, but limited to this. In the RBB1 general game state, RBB2 general game state, and RBB3 general game state, the winning combination group "good shift RB1", the winning combination group "good shift RB2", and "good shift RB3" are not provided. A common winning combination group composed of one or more bonus combinations (for example, the winning combination group "Good Shift RB4") may be provided.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the RBB1 general game state, the special game right is granted until the first special game state, which is transferred from the winning of the first special role to the winning of the first special role, is completed. One type of winning combination group "Good Shift RB1" is set up as a lottery), and the second special role (the second special game state that shifts from the winning of the second special role to the winning of the second special role ends. Until then, the special game right grant lottery will not be held), but one type of winning combination group "Dameshift RB" is provided, but it is not limited to this, and two or more types may be provided as the first special role. , Two or more types may be provided as the second special role. The same applies to the RBB2 general gaming state and the RBB3 general gaming state.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as the first special role (a special game right granting lottery can be performed until the first special game state transitioned from the winning of the first special role to the winning of the first special role is completed). , RBB1 general game state, RBB2 general game state, RBB3 general game state have different winning combination groups "good shift RB1", "good shift RB2", "good shift RB3", but are limited to these. is not it. For example, in addition to providing the winning combination groups "good shift RB1", "good shift RB2", and "good shift RB3" that are different from each other in the RBB1 general game state, the RBB2 general game state, and the RBB3 general game state as the first special role. Alternatively, a common winning combination group composed of one or a plurality of bonus combinations (for example, the winning combination group "good shift RB5": corresponding to the "fourth predetermined combination" of the present invention) may be provided. However, the winning probability of the common winning combination group is common in settings 1 to 6. According to this, in any of the RBB1 general game state, the RBB2 general game state, and the RBB3 general game state, it is possible to expect a prize for a role in which the transition to the bonus game state in which the AT right granting lottery can be performed is performed. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

Further, in the above case, the degree of expectation regarding the right to perform an AT game based on the winning of a common winning combination group (for example, the winning combination group "good shift RB5") is the winning combination groups "good shift RB1" and "good shift RB2". , "Good shift RB3" may be set to be higher than the expectation regarding the right to perform AT games based on the winning of each. For example, the number of AT game execution right games given at the time of winning of a common winning combination group is given at the time of winning each of the winning combination groups "Good shift RB1", "Good shift RB2", and "Good shift RB3". This can be achieved by increasing the number. According to this, in any of the RBB1 general game state, the RBB2 general game state, and the RBB3 general game state, the game can be played in anticipation of winning a common winning combination group with high expectations regarding the right to perform AT games. Since it can be done, it is possible to further improve the interest of the player.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the winning probability of the winning combination group "special role" as the AT right granting combination in the good shift RB1 carry-over state, the good shift RB2 carry-over state, and the good shift RB3 carry-over state is set to the good shift RB1 carry-over state. Make the same between the good shift RB2 carry-over state and the good shift RB3 carry-over state, and set the winning probability of the winning combination group "special bell" as the AT right granting role in the good shift RB1 state, the good shift RB2 state, and the good shift RB3 state. The shift RB1 state, the good shift RB2 state, and the good shift RB3 state are the same, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the winning probability of the winning combination group "special role" may be different between the good shift RB1 carry-over state, the good shift RB2 carry-over state, and the good shift RB3 carry-over state, or the winning probability of the winning combination group "special bell". May be different between the good shift RB1 state, the good shift RB2 state, and the good shift RB3 state, or both may be different. In each of the good shift RB1 carry-over state, the good shift RB2 carry-over state, and the good shift RB3 carry-over state, the winning probability of the winning combination group "special combination" is the same between setting 1 and setting 6, and the good shift RB1 state is good. In each of the shift RB2 state and the good shift RB3 state, the winning probability of the winning combination group "special combination" is the same between setting 1 and setting 6. In this case, for example, the number of AT game execution right games at the time of winning each of the winning combination groups "good shift RB1", "good shift RB2", and "good shift RB3", good shift RB1 carry-over state, and good shift RB2 carry-over state. Adjust the winning probability of the winning combination group "special role" in each of the good shift RB3 carry-over states, the winning probability of the winning combination group "special bell" in each of the good shift RB1 state, the good shift RB2 state, and the good shift RB3 state. Therefore, the expectations regarding the right to perform AT games based on the winning of the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB1", "Good Shift RB2", and "Good Shift RB3" may be different.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the good shift RB1 carry-over state, the good shift RB2 carry-over state, and the good shift RB3 carry-over state, a common winning combination group "special combination" is provided as the AT right granting combination, and the good shift RB1 state, In the good shift RB2 state and the good shift RB3 state, a common winning combination group "special bell" is provided as the AT right granting role, but it is not limited to this, and the good shift RB1 as the AT right granting role is not limited to this. Establish different winning combination groups (hereinafter referred to as winning combination groups "special combination 1", "special combination 2", and "special combination 3") between the carry-over state, the good shift RB2 carry-over state, and the good shift RB3 carry-over state. The winning combination group (hereinafter referred to as the winning combination group "special bell 1", "special bell 2", "special bell 3") differs between the good shift RB1 state, the good shift RB2 state, and the good shift RB3 state. It may be described.). However, the winning probability is set from setting 1 in each of the winning combination groups "Special role 1", "Special role 2", "Special role 3", "Special bell 1", "Special bell 2", and "Special bell 3". It is common among 6. The winning probabilities may be the same or different among the winning combination groups "special role 1", "special role 2", and "special role 3", and the winning combination group "special bell 1", The winning probabilities may be the same or different between "Special Bell 2" and "Special Bell 3". In this case, for example, the number of AT game execution right games at the time of winning each of the winning combination groups "good shift RB1", "good shift RB2", and "good shift RB3", and the winning combination groups "special role 1", "special". By adjusting the winning probabilities of each of the winning combination 2 and "special role 3" and the winning probabilities of the winning combination groups "special bell 1", "special bell 2", and "special bell 3", the winning combination group "good shift RB1" , "Good shift RB2", and "Good shift RB3" may have different expectations regarding the right to play AT games based on the winning of each.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the winning combination group "special role" may be elected in a good shift RB1 carry-over state, a good shift RB2 carry-over state, and a good shift RB3 carry-over state, and the winning combination group "special bell" is good. It is said that there is a possibility of winning in the shift RB1 state, the good shift RB2 state, and the good shift RB3 state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the following may be used. The winning combination group "special role" may be elected only in a part of the good shift RB1 carry-over state, the good shift RB2 carry-over state, and the good shift RB3 carry-over state, and the winning combination group "special bell" may be elected. It may be possible to win only a part of the good shift RB1 state, the good shift RB2 state, and the good shift RB3 state. In this case, for example, the number of AT game execution right games at the time of winning each of the winning combination groups "Good shift RB1", "Good shift RB2", and "Good shift RB3", and each game state in which there is a possibility of winning. By adjusting the winning probability of the winning combination group "special role" and the winning probability of the winning combination group "special bell" in each game state where there is a possibility of winning, the winning combination groups "good shift RB1" and "good shift RB2" , And "Good Shift RB3" may have different expectations regarding the right to play AT games based on their respective winnings.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the RBB1 state, the winning combination group "good shift RB1" is provided in the RBB1 general gaming state and the winning combination group "special bell" is provided in the good shift RB1 state as the AT right granting role, and the winning combination is won. Although the combination group "special combination" is provided in the RBB1 general game state and the good shift RB1 carry-over state, at least one of these winning combination groups may be provided. The same applies to the RBB2 state and the RBB3 state.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, three types of winning combination groups "RBB1", "RBB2", and "RBB3" are provided as an opportunity to shift to the bonus gaming state, but the present invention is not limited to these. There may be two types, or four or more types.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the winning combination groups that may be won do not match between the good shift RB1 state and the bad shift RB1 state, but the winning combination is won between the good shift RB1 state and the bad shift RB1 state. The possible winning combination groups may be matched, and only in the case of a good shift RB1 state, a part or all of the winning combination group may be used as the AT right granting role, and the AT right granting lottery may be performed. In this case, it is assumed that the winning probability of the winning combination group as the AT right granting combination is the same in settings 1 to 6. For example, the winning combination group that may be won in each of the good shift RB1 state and the bad shift RB1 state is set as the winning combination group "all small roles" with the same winning probability from setting 1 to setting 6, and the winning combination in the bad shift RB1 state. The AT right granting lottery is not performed based on the winning of the group "all small wins", and in a good shift RB1 state, the AT right granting lottery is performed based on the winning of the winning combination group "all small wins". The same applies between the good shift RB2 state and the bad shift RB2 state, and the same applies between the good shift RB3 state and the bad shift RB3 state.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the AT game is played based on the winning of the AT right granting combination (for example, the winning combination group "special bell") from the winning of the winning combination group "good shift RB1" to the end of the good shift RB1 state. When it is decided to grant the right to play, the number of games for which the right to play AT games (the number of games with the right to execute AT games) is determined to be a predetermined number, but the number is not limited to this, and for example, the following It may be something like. A game in which the right to play an AT game is granted when it is decided to grant the right to play an AT game based on the winning of the AT right granting role between the winning of the winning combination group "Good Shift RB1" and the end of the good shift RB1 state. Prepare multiple distribution tables to distribute the number of games. Then, at the time of winning the winning combination group "good shift RB1", one distribution table is selected from a plurality of distribution tables, and from the winning of the winning combination group "good shift RB1" to the end of the good shift RB1 state. When it is decided to grant the right to perform an AT game based on the winning of the AT right granting combination, the number of games to which the AT game is entitled to be performed may be determined by lottery using the selected distribution table. For example, as a distribution table, a table 1, a table 2, and a table 3 are prepared. Then, the probabilities that each of the table 1, the table 2, and the table 3 is drawn at the time of winning the winning combination group "good shift RB1" is set to 1/2, 3/8, and 1/8. Further, in Table 1, there are 0 games (substantially no right to play AT games), 10 games, and 30 games as the number of games that have the right to play AT games, and 0 games, 10 games, and 30 games. The probability of each being drawn is 1/2, 3/8, and 1/8, and in Table 2, there are 10 games and 50 games, and each of the 10 games and 50 games has the right to play AT games. The lottery probability is 1/2, 1/2, and in Table 3, there are 10 games, 30 games, and 50 games as the number of games that have the right to play AT games, and 10 games, 30 games, and 50 games. The probability that each of the lottery will be drawn is 1/4, 1/2, and 1/4. The same applies to the winning combination groups "Good Shift RB2" and "Good Shift RB3".

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the number of games that have the right to play AT games (the number of games that have the right to execute AT games) when it is decided to grant the right to play AT games based on the winning of the winning combination group "Good Shift RB1". ) Is determined to be a predetermined number, but it is not limited to this, for example, a distribution table for allocating the number of games for which the right to play AT games is to be set is prepared.
