  The random number generation means 110 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery. The random value can be generated based on, for example, a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In this embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The internal lottery means 120 determines whether or not a winning combination is made based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a game start operation on the start lever SL (first press operation on the activated start lever SL). Means for performing an internal lottery, and performs a lottery table selection process, a random number determination process, a lottery flag setting process, and the like.

  In the lottery table selection process, it is determined which internal lottery table is used for the internal lottery table among the plurality of internal lottery tables stored in the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the main memory 190M. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the internal lottery table storage unit 191 stores eight types of lottery tables A to H as shown in FIGS. In each lottery table, various combinations such as a replay and a small combination are associated with each of a plurality of random values (for example, 65536 random values from 0 to 65535).

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the correct answer bell A, correct answer bell B, correct answer bell C, incorrect answer bell A, incorrect answer bell B, incorrect answer bell C, incorrect answer bell D, incorrect answer bell E, The incorrect answer bell F, incorrect answer bell G, incorrect answer bell H, watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, and middle tier cherry are prepared, and the batting order bell L1 and batting order bell C4 shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.

Means that And in the gaming machine of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the correct answer bell and two types of incorrect answer bells are won in each batting order bell, and a combination of correct answer bells and incorrect answer bells won in duplicate Are different from each other.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, as replay, replay A, replay B, replay C, replay D, replay E, replay F, replay G, replay H, replay I, replay J, replay K, replay L, replay M , Replay N is prepared, batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4, batting order replay B1 to batting order replay B3, batting order replay C1 to batting order replay C3, batting order replay D1 to batting order replay D2, batting order replay E1 in FIG. 3 and FIG. -Strike order replay E2, Freeze replay, Blue 7 complete replay 1-Blue 7 complete replay 2, Red 7 complete replay 1-Red 7 complete replay 2, BAR complete replay 1 -BAR complete replay 2, Strike order replay X1-Strike order replay X3, Batting order replay Y1 to batting order replay Y2, batting order replay Z1 to batting order lip Lee Z2 means that the plurality of types of replay is associated to the same random numbers as a plurality of types of replay in one internal lottery winning duplicate. In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the combination of replays selected in duplicate is different from each other in the overlapping winning mode of each replay.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal state, the first replay time state, the second replay time state, the third replay time state (first game state), and the fourth replay time state (second game state) are used as the game state. ), A fifth replay time state (third game state), a sixth replay time state, and a seventh replay time state can be set. In the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery are selected according to the game state. One of the tables H is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generator 110 for each game based on the start signal from the start switch 230, and the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the main memory 190M for the acquired random value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the main memory 190M. In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the lottery and the replay lottery flag that are subject to the lottery in the internal lottery are reset to the non-winning state without carrying over the winning state to the next and subsequent games regardless of winning. It is a lottery flag (carry-over impossible flag).

  The reel control means 130 starts rotation driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by a stepping motor based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a game start operation to the start lever SL by the player. Press the stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels in which the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are normally rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotation speed of about 80 rotations per minute). The control which makes the stop operation by this effective is performed, and the control which stops the 1st reel R1-3rd reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in the aspect according to the setting state (result of an internal lottery) of a lottery flag I do.

  The reel controller 130 stops the reel from the stop switch 240 when the stop switch 240 is actuated when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled. Based on the signal, the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 is stopped to perform control to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

  That is, the reel controller 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The reel is stopped at the stop position. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 is an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is changed, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is changed.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The stop position of each rotating reel is determined in the range of 0 to 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range) required from when the stop button is pressed until the reels stop. Then, the reel control unit 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the stop buttons B1 to B3. When the position is within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (the pull-in range corresponding to 0 ms to 190 ms) with respect to the display position on the active line, the lottery flag corresponds to the winning combination set in the winning state Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button so that the symbol is displayed at the display position on the active line.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the red 7 symbol “red 7” and the black 7 symbol “black 7” with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. , White 7 symbol “white 7”, BAR symbol “BAR”, replay symbol A “RPA”, replay symbol B “RPB”, bell symbol A “BLA”, bell symbol B “BLB”, watermelon symbol “WM”, and If the cherry symbol “CH” is arranged and the symbols constituting the winning combination of the symbols are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of the reel, they are displayed on the active line regardless of the pressing detection position. Can be made.

  In the present embodiment, the reel control unit 130 obtains the stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process), and the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the main memory 190M. And a process of determining the stop position of the rotating reel (table reference process).

  First, in the logic calculation process, a range of 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when the pressing of the stop button is detected) according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the frame. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in logic calculation processing, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, etc., and there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. In such a case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “Replay> Small”, and in the logic operation process, when lottery flags regarding two or more types of roles are set to the internal winning state Is a candidate for a stop position that includes a symbol that constitutes a winning form for a combination with a low priority for a candidate for a stop position that includes a symbol that constitutes a winning pattern for a combination with a high priority according to the priority associated with each combination The priority is obtained so that the priority becomes higher than

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority is determined according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for a small combination for a candidate for a stop position when multiple types of small combinations are won by internal lottery. Thus, the priority for the stop position candidates for five frames is determined so that the priority becomes higher as the stop position can win a small role with a larger number of medals to be paid out. However, when a small role with the same number of medals paid out for winning a prize is won, the priorities of the stop position candidates that can win each small role are treated as the same priority. .

  In this embodiment, when any of the 12 types of batting order bells is won, the correct answer bell and the two types of incorrect answer bells are won, but the medal associated with winning the correct answer bell and the incorrect answer bell Since the number of payouts is the same, the priority of the stop position candidate for displaying the symbols constituting the winning form of the correct bell on the active line and the symbols constituting the winning form of the incorrect answer bell on the active line The priority of the candidate stop position to be displayed is the same priority.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining candidate reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the winning state while winning the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the non-winning state. Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so as not to stop.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 made of a photosensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one revolution. Thus, the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the stepping motor) from the reel reference position (the frame detected by the reel index). ing. That is, the reel control unit 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  In the table reference process, when a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation process, which position is set as the stop position is determined as a stop control table storage unit in the main memory 190M. This is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in 193.

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

  In the stop control table that is referred to when any of the 12 types of batting order bells is won in the internal lottery, the number of medals to be paid out for winning the small role included in each batting order bell is the same, so the stop button B1. The priority order is set according to the order of pressing B3. In particular, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the correct hit order is set for each hit order bell, and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 different from the correct hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In this embodiment, when the hitting order bell is won, it is pressed according to the correct hitting order regardless of the order of the stop buttons to be pressed second or later based on the type of the stop button to be pressed first.

Control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute a second winning assist effect (operation instruction effect) for assisting winning. Various effects can be adopted as the second winning assistance effect. For example, an effect image informing the correct batting order or specific batting order corresponding to the winning batting order replay is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or the winning batting order replay is performed. It is possible to turn on a lamp for informing the correct hit order and the specific hit order according to the sound, or to output a sound for notifying the correct hit order and the specific hit order according to the selected hit order replay from the speaker.

  More specifically, the effect control means 180 has an internal lottery to select a cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) when the effect state is not the AT ready state or the AT state in the normal state or the first replay time state. The 1st AT lottery will be performed in the wake of winning. In the first AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the first AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 196 of the sub memory 190S. Whether or not the first AT lottery is won is determined according to the comparison result. In the first AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value acquired in the first AT lottery is the first AT lottery table. If the first AT lottery is won, it is determined that the first AT lottery is won.

  Then, the effect control means 180 sets the effect state to the first AT preparation state based on winning the first AT lottery.

  In addition, when any of batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 wins in the first AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 notifies the first correct batting order (see FIG. 11) according to the winning batting order replay and wins the replay C. The display device 330 and the audio device 340 are caused to execute a second prize assist effect that assists the player.

  Then, the production control unit 180 sets the production state to the first AT state (assist time state) based on the fact that one of the batting order replay A1 to the batting order replay A4 is won in the first AT preparation state.

  In addition, when any of batting order replay B1 to batting order replay B3 wins in the first AT state, the effect control means 180 informs the correct batting order (see FIG. 11) according to the winning batting order replay and assists in the replay I winning. The display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute the second winning assistance effect (the effect of assisting the stop operation so that the third symbol combination is displayed on the effective line). In addition, when any of batting order replay E1 to batting order replay E2 wins in the first AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the first correct batting order (see FIG. 11) according to the winning batting order replay and wins the replay A win. The display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute the second winning assist effect that assists.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first AT lottery is won, the second prize assisting effect is executed, so that the gaming state is guided from the first replay time state to the fifth replay time state via the second replay time state. The fifth replay time state is maintained while the effect state is the first AT state.

  Further, the effect control means 180 performs a process of setting a value corresponding to the lottery result in the first AT end determination counter 197 (counter) of the sub memory 190S based on the winning of the first AT lottery. In particular, in the present embodiment, when the result of the first AT lottery is winning, for example, “50” is set in the first AT end determination counter 197 as a value corresponding to 50 games.

  Further, the effect control means 180 (end condition determination means) determines the end condition of the first AT state based on the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197, and changes the first AT state when the end condition of the first AT state is satisfied. Control to end. In particular, in the present embodiment, each time the effect control means 180 performs a game in the first AT state (first assist time game), a value corresponding to the number of games for one time from the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 ( For example, a decrement update is performed to subtract 1).

  In the present embodiment, the decrement update of the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is started from the next game of the game won by any one of the batting order replay A1 to the batting order replay A4 in the first AT preparation state. However, the decrement update of the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 may be started from the next game of the game won in the first AT lottery. Then, when the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the effect control means 180 (end condition determination means) determines that the end condition for the first AT state has been satisfied. The 1AT state is terminated and the production state is set to the normal production state.

  In the fifth replay time state, the production control means 180 performs the second AT lottery when the cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) is won in the internal lottery when the production state is the first AT state. Do. In the second AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the second AT lottery table stored in the production lottery table storage unit 196, and the comparison result Accordingly, it is determined whether or not the second AT lottery has been won. In the second AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value acquired in the second AT lottery is the second AT lottery table. If it is associated with winning, it is determined that the second AT lottery has been won.

  Then, the effect control means 180 sets the effect state to the second AT preparation state based on winning the second AT lottery.

  In addition, when any one of batting order replay E1 to batting order replay E2 wins in the second AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 notifies the second correct answer batting order (see FIG. 11) according to the winning batting order replay and wins the replay D. The display device 330 and the audio device 340 are caused to execute a second winning assist effect (an effect that assists the stop operation so that the first symbol combination is displayed on the active line). In addition, in the second AT preparation state, the production control means 180 wins any of blue 7 replay 1 to blue 7 replay 2, red 7 replay 1 to red 7 replay 2, BAR replay 1 to BAR replay 2 Then, the second winning assistance effect (the effect of assisting the stop operation so that the second symbol combination is displayed on the active line) for notifying the specific batting order (see FIG. 12) and assisting the winning of the replays F to H is performed. The display device 330 and the sound device 340 are executed. In addition, when the freeze control is won regardless of the effect state, the effect control means 180 notifies the specific batting order (see FIG. 12) and displays the second winning assist effect for assisting the winning of the replays F to H on the display device 330 and the sound device. 340 is executed.

  Then, in the second AT preparation state, the production control means 180 wins one of blue 7 replay 1 to blue 7 replay 2, red 7 replay 1 to red 7 replay 2, BAR replay 1 to BAR replay 2 Based on this, and based on winning the freeze replay regardless of the production state, the production state is set to the second AT state.

  In addition, when any of the batting order replay D1 to batting order replay D2 wins in the second AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the first correct batting order (see FIG. 11) according to the winning batting order replay and wins the replay A win. The display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute the second winning assist effect that assists.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the second AT lottery is won, the second winning assist effect is executed, so that the gaming state is changed from the fifth replay time state to the fourth replay time state via the third replay time state. The fourth replay time state is maintained while the performance state is the second AT state.

  Further, the effect control means 180 performs a process of setting a value corresponding to the lottery result in the second AT end determination counter 198 (second counter) of the sub memory 190S based on the winning of the second AT lottery. In particular, in the present embodiment, when any one of the BAR uniform replay 1 to the BAR uniform replay 2 is won in the second AT preparation state, for example, “20” is set as a value corresponding to 20 games for the second AT end determination counter. Set to 198, in the 2nd AT preparation state, if any one of blue 7-match replay 1 to blue 7-match replay 2 or red 7-match replay 1 to red 7-match replay 2 is won, or freeze replay is performed regardless of the production state When winning, for example, “50” is set in the second AT end determination counter 198 as a value corresponding to 50 games.

  Further, the effect control means 180 (end condition determining means) determines the end condition of the second AT state based on the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198, and sets the second AT state when the end condition of the second AT state is satisfied. Control to end. In particular, in the present embodiment, each time the effect control means 180 performs a game in the second AT state (second assist time game), a value (corresponding to the number of games for one game from the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198) For example, a decrement update is performed to subtract 1).

  In the present embodiment, the decrement update of the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is performed in the second AT ready state by replaying blue 7 aligned replay 1 to blue 7 aligned replay 2, red 7 aligned replay 1 to red 7 aligned replay 2, BAR. The next game of the game won by any one of the matching replay 1 to the BAR matching replay 2 or the next game of the game won by the freeze replay is started. However, the decrement update of the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198 may be started from the next game of the game won in the second AT lottery. Then, when the stored value of the second AT end determination counter 198 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the effect control means 180 (end condition determination means) determines that the end condition for the second AT state is satisfied, and 2AT state is terminated.

  In addition, in the second AT preparation state, the production control means 180 wins any of blue 7 replay 1 to blue 7 replay 2, red 7 replay 1 to red 7 replay 2, BAR replay 1 to BAR replay 2 A continuous AT lottery (continuous production lottery) is performed when triggered by the fact that the freeze replay is won regardless of the production state. In the continuous AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the obtained random number is compared with the continuous AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 196, and the comparison result It is determined whether or not the continuous AT lottery is won. In the continuous AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random value acquired in the continuous AT lottery is stored in the continuous AT lottery table. If it is associated with winning, it is determined that the consecutive AT lottery has been won.

  Then, the effect control means 180 sets the continuous flag in the on state in the effect flag storage means 200 of the sub memory 190S based on the winning of the continuous AT lottery. Set the flag to the off state.

  Then, the effect control means 180 determines whether or not the continuous flag is set to the on state based on the end of the second AT state, and when the continuous flag is set to the on state, the effect state Is set to the second AT preparation state, and when the continuous flag is set to the off state, the effect state is set to the first AT preparation state. Then, when any one of the batting order replay D1 to the batting order replay D2 wins in the second AT preparation state, the second correct answer batting order (see FIG. 11) corresponding to the winning batting order replay is notified to assist the replay D winning 2nd The display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute a winning assist effect. On the other hand, when any one of the batting order replay D1 to batting order replay D2 wins in the first AT preparation state, the second correct batting order (see FIG. 11) corresponding to the winning batting order replay is notified to assist the replay I winning. The display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute a winning assist effect.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second AT state is finished, the second prize assisting effect is executed, so that when the consecutive AT lottery is won, the gaming state is changed from the fourth replay time state to the third replay time state. If the player is guided to the fourth replay time state again via the time state and has not won the continuous AT lottery, the gaming state is guided from the fourth replay time state to the fifth replay time state.

  In addition, the effect control means 180 causes the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute the ART determination effect for notifying that the effect state is set to the first AT state based on the fact that the first AT lottery is won. In detail, based on the fact that the first AT lottery has been won, the effect control means 180 sets the ART confirmed effect flag to the on state in the effect flag storage means 200 of the sub memory 190S, and the game of the game won in the first AT lottery. In response to the game start operation being performed for the next game, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute the ART determination effect.

  In addition, the effect control means 180 causes the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute a pseudo bonus finalizing effect for notifying that the effect state is set to the second AT state based on the winning of the second AT lottery. Specifically, based on the fact that the second AT lottery has been won, the effect control means 180 sets the pseudo bonus confirmed effect flag to the on state in the effect flag storage means 200 of the sub memory 190S, and the game that won the second AT lottery. When the game start operation is performed for the next game, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute a pseudo bonus finalizing effect.

  Here, in this embodiment, the pseudo bonus finalizing effect is as if the bonus for shifting the gaming state to the bonus state where the winning probability of the small role is set higher than the other gaming states is won by the internal lottery. This is executed in a manner informing the user.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the second winning assistance effect for informing the specific batting order (see FIG. 12) and assisting the winning of the replays F to H is displayed as an internal lottery. The player can determine that one of the blue 7 replay 1 to blue 7 replay 2, red 7 replay 1 to red 7 replay 2, BAR replay 1 to BAR replay 2 or freeze replay has been won. Although it is executed in the mode, the player cannot determine whether the other second winning assist effect and the first winning assist effect are the winning order bell in the internal lottery or multiple replays are won. Implemented in a manner.

  In the fifth replay time state, the effect control means 180 performs the third AT lottery when the watermelon is won in the internal lottery when the effect state is the first AT state. In the third AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the third AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 196 of the sub memory 190S. Whether or not the third AT lottery is won is determined according to the comparison result. In the third AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random number value acquired in the third AT lottery is the third AT lottery table. If the third AT lottery is won, it is determined that the third AT lottery is won. Then, the effect control means 180 sets the effect state to the third AT preparation state when the third AT lottery is won.

  In addition, when any one of batting order replay E1 to batting order replay E2 wins in the third AT preparation state, the effect control means 180 notifies the third correct answer batting order (see FIG. 11) according to the winning batting order replay and wins the replay J. The display device 330 and the audio device 340 are caused to execute a second prize assist effect that assists the player.

  Then, the effect control means 180 sets the effect state to the third AT state (special assist time state) based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the replay J winning pattern is displayed on the active line in the third AT preparation state.

  Further, the effect control means 180 performs a process of setting a predetermined value (a value of 2 or more) in the guaranteed number counter 201 (special counter) of the sub memory 190S based on the winning of the third AT lottery. Particularly in this embodiment, “2” is set in the guaranteed number counter 201 as a value corresponding to two games.

  In addition, when any of the batting order replay Y2 to batting order replay Z2 is won in the third AT state, the effect control means 180 notifies the specific batting order (see FIG. 16) when the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is larger than “0”. Then, when the display device 330 or the audio device 340 executes the second winning assist effect that assists the replay L winning, and the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is “0”, the correct answer order (see FIG. 16) is notified. Then, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute the second winning assistance effect that assists the Replay I winning. Then, the production control means 180 subtracts “1” from the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 every time one of the hit order replay Y2 to the hit order replay Z2 wins in the third AT state.

  In addition, when any one of the batting order replay X2 to batting order replay X3 is won in the third AT state, the effect control means 180 is the first corresponding to the winning batting order replay when the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is greater than “0”. In the case where the correct winning order (see FIG. 16) is notified and the display device 330 or the audio device 340 executes the second winning assist effect for assisting the winning of the replay A, and the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is “0”. The display device 330 and the audio device 340 are caused to execute a second winning assistance effect that informs the second correct hit order (see FIG. 16) and assists the Replay I winning.

  Then, the effect control means 180 sets the effect state to the first AT state based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the Replay I winning form or the symbol combination indicating the falling blank is displayed on the active line in the third AT state.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the third AT lottery is won, the second winning assist effect is executed, and the gaming state is induced from the fifth replay time state to the sixth replay time state. While the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is larger than “0”, the winning of the replay L is assisted while the sixth replay time state is maintained, but when the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0”, the game The state is induced from the sixth replay time state to the fifth replay time state, and the third AT state is terminated.

  In addition, when the production state is the third AT state, the production control unit 180 (addition unit) performs replay L in a stop mode in which the white 7 symbol “white 7” is displayed as a single set as shown in FIG. The first AT end determination counter is based on the winning of the replay L in the stop mode in which the white 7 symbol “white 7” is displayed in double alignment as shown in FIG. A process of adding (adding) a value corresponding to the symbol display result to 197 is performed. In particular, in this embodiment, when the white 7 pattern “white 7” is displayed in a single set, for example, “50” is added to the first AT end determination counter 197 as a value corresponding to 50 games, and the white When 7 symbols “white 7” are displayed in double alignment, for example, “100” is added to the first AT end determination counter 197 as a value corresponding to 100 games. That is, the game section in the third AT state is set as an additional section in which the number of games in the first AT state is added.

  Then, when the third AT state is ended, the effect control means 180 executes an additional game number notification effect on the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to notify the player of the value added to the first AT end determination counter 197 in the third AT state. Let

  Further, the effect control means 180 sets a sign effect section (specific effect section) over a plurality of games based on the fact that the third AT lottery has been performed, and the effect state in each game in the sign effect section is the third AT state. The display device 330 and the audio device 340 are caused to perform a precursor effect that enhances the player's expectation for being set to “”.

  Specifically, based on the fact that the third AT lottery has been performed, the effect control means 180 first performs a precursor game number lottery that determines the number of games in the precursor effect section. In the precursor game number lottery, one of 100 random numbers from 0 to 99 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the precursor game number lottery table stored in the production lottery table storage unit 196. It is determined which number of games is won according to the comparison result. In the precursor game number lottery table, for example, each of 100 random numbers from 0 to 99 is a value corresponding to two games from “2” which is a value corresponding to two games. Any value up to “5” is associated, and it is determined that the value associated with the random number value acquired in the sign game number lottery table is won as the number of games in the sign effect section. Is done. Then, the effect control means 180 sets the number of games won in the sign effect counter 202 of the sub memory 190S, and sets the sign effect flag to the on state in the effect flag storage means 200 of the sub memory 190S. Set.

  Then, the production control means 180 subtracts “1” from the value of the warning effect counter 202 every time the game of the warning effect zone is performed, and when the value of the warning effect counter 202 becomes “0”, the warning effect flag is turned off. If the third stage lottery has been won, the stage state is set to the third AT preparation state, and if the third AT lottery has not been won, the stage state is set. Is maintained in the first AT state.

  In the present embodiment, the effect data storage means 195 stores the effect data storage means 195 that forms a plurality of types of stories corresponding to the number of games of 2 to 5 that can be set as the number of games in the effect area. The sign effect data executed in each game other than the last game in the sign effect section is divided into four effect elements of the 0th sign effect to the 3rd sign effect, and the sign is given when the 3rd AT lottery is won. The foreplay effect data executed in the last game of the effect section includes four effect elements of the added section finalizing effect (specific effect) for notifying that the 0th sign effect, the second sign effect, and the third AT state are set. The sign effect data executed in the last game in the sign effect section when it is divided and the third AT lottery is not won is set to the 0th sign effect to the second sign effect and the third AT state. Is divided into four direction elements of non-winning effect of notifying that no.

  Then, the effect control means 180 (specific effect execution means) causes the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute the 0th sign effect in response to the game start operation in each game other than the last game in the sign effect section, and a stop button Among the stop operations for B1 to B3, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute the first precursor effect with the first stop operation as a trigger, and the second precursor effect is displayed with the second stop operation as a trigger. And the audio device 340, and the display device 330 and the audio device 340 are caused to execute the third precursor effect by the third stop operation.

  Also, the production control means 180 causes the display device 330 or the audio device 340 to execute the 0th indication production in response to the game start operation in the last game in the indication production section when the third AT lottery is won, and the first game is performed. When the stop operation is performed, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 executes the first precursor effect, and when the second stop operation is performed, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 executes the second precursor effect. In response to the stop operation, the display section 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute the added section finalization effect.

  Further, the production control means 180 causes the display device 330 or the audio device 340 to execute the 0th indication production in response to the game start operation in the last game in the indication production section when the third AT lottery is not won. In response to the second stop operation, the display device 330 and the audio device 340 execute the first precursor effect, and in response to the second stop operation, the display device 330 and the audio device 340 execute the second precursor effect. In response to the second stop operation, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute a non-winning effect.

  In addition, in the game in which the first winning assist effect or the second winning assist effect is executed, the effect control means 180 changes to the first winning assist effect or the second winning assist effect every time a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3. It is determined whether or not a stop operation that does not follow is performed, that is, whether or not there is a so-called navigation error, and the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to perform a mistake effect triggered by the stop operation determined to have been a navigation error.

  Here, in each game other than the last game in the sign effect section, the effect control means 180 uses each of the first stop operation to the third stop operation as an opportunity to perform each of the first sign effect to the third sign effect. In the last game in the sign production section, each of the first stop operation to the second stop operation is used as a trigger in the last game of the sign production section. While executing each of the first sign production to the second sign production, the mistake production is executed in response to the stop operation determined that there has been a navigation mistake. In the last game in the sign production section, the third stop operation is performed. If it is determined that there has been a navigation error before, regardless of whether or not the third AT lottery has been won, the third stop operation will be used as an opportunity to execute an additional section finalizing effect or a non-winning effect Without, to execute the Nabimisu in the last game of the aura effect section is performed in the final game Nabimisu displays an effect device 330 and audio device 340 showing the.

  When the effect control means 180 determines that there is a navigation error in the game in the indication effect section while the value is set in the guaranteed number counter 201 by winning the third AT lottery, the guaranteed number counter 201 sets “1”. When the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0”, the value of the precursor effect counter 202 is reset to “0” and the precursor effect flag is set to the off state. Also, when the effect control means 180 determines that there is a navigation error in the game in the third AT preparation state, it subtracts “1” from the guaranteed number counter 201, and when the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0”, the effect state is changed to the first effect state. Set to 1AT state. Further, the effect control means 180 sets the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 to “0” based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the Replay I winning form or the symbol combination indicating the falling blank is displayed on the active line in the third AT state. And the effect state is set to the first AT state.

  Further, the effect control means 180 maintains the effect state in the first AT state even if a navigation error is made when the effect state is the first AT state, so that the game state is changed from the fifth replay time state to the first replay time by the navigation error. When the game state is shifted to the state, the game state is returned to the fifth replay time state via the second replay time state, or when the gaming state shifts from the fifth replay time state to the third replay time state due to a navigation error. When the game state is changed from the fifth replay time state to the sixth replay time state due to a navigation error, the fifth replay time state is returned to the fifth replay time state via the fourth replay time state. In order to return to the state, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute the second winning assist effect.

  The effect control means 180 maintains the effect state in the second AT preparation state even if a navigation error is made when the effect state is the second AT preparation state, so that the gaming state is changed from the fifth replay time state to the first due to the navigation error. In the case of transition to the replay time state, the game state is shifted from the fifth replay time state to the sixth replay time state by a navigation error so as to return to the fifth replay time state via the second replay time state. In such a case, when the game state is changed from the third replay time state to the first replay time state due to a navigation error, the second replay time state and the fifth replay time state are restored. The second prize assisting effect is displayed on the display device 330 and the sound so that the third replay time state is restored via To be executed by the location 340.

  Further, the effect control means 180 maintains the effect state in the second AT state even if a navigation mistake is made when the effect state is the second AT state, so that the gaming state is changed from the fourth replay time state to the first replay time by the navigation error. When the state is shifted to the state, the game state is returned to the fourth replay time state via the second replay time state, the fifth replay time state, and the third replay time state, and the gaming state is changed to the fourth replay time state due to a navigation error. When the state has shifted to the third replay time state, the game state is changed from the fourth replay time state to the sixth replay time state by a navigation error so that the game state is returned to the fourth replay time state. When the state is shifted to the state, the fourth replay time state is passed through the fifth replay time state and the third replay time state. As return to lay time state, to execute the second prize auxiliary effect to the display device 330 and audio device 340.

  The effect control means 180 maintains the effect state in the third AT preparation state even if a navigation mistake is made when the effect state is the third AT preparation state, so that the gaming state is changed from the fifth replay time state to the first due to the navigation error. In the case of shifting to the replay time state, the game state is shifted from the fifth replay time state to the third replay time state by a navigation error so as to return to the fifth replay time state via the second replay time state. In this case, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute the second winning assistance effect so as to return to the fifth replay time state via the fourth replay time state.

  In addition, in the game where the production state is not the AT preparation state or the AT state, the production control unit 180 causes a penalty that causes a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player when the second reel R2 or the third reel R3 stops for the first time. Process. Penalty processing includes, for example, processing for prohibiting execution of AT lottery until a certain number of games are consumed, processing for discarding the results of AT lottery until the number of games is consumed, and winning an AT lottery. For example, a process for deferring the transition to the AT state or the AT ready state can be performed until a certain number of games are consumed. In other words, in this embodiment, when the stop button B2 or the stop button B3 is first pressed when not in the AT state or the AT ready state, the opportunity to shift to the AT state or the AT ready state is lost, or a certain number of games is played. There is a penalty that the transition to the AT state or the AT ready state is delayed until digestion is completed.

  In addition, the effect control means 180 may be used when the player performs a stop operation that does not follow the winning assist effect even if the value is not set in the guaranteed number counter 201 by winning the third AT lottery. A penalty that is disadvantageous to the user may be generated. Penalty processing includes, for example, processing for prohibiting the execution of winning assistance effects until a certain number of games are consumed, processing for terminating the AT preparation state and AT state, and execution of an AT lottery until a certain number of games are consumed. For example, a process for discarding the result of the AT lottery until a certain number of games are consumed, a process for deferring the transition to the AT state until a certain number of games are consumed even if the AT lottery is won It can be carried out.

Pseudo Bonus Continuous Winning First, in the present embodiment, when the effect control means 180 wins the continuous AT lottery, the second win assist effect that assists the replay D win in the fourth replay time state. The stage device is executed, the stage device is caused to execute the second winning assistance effect for assisting the replays F to H in the third replay time state, and the stage state is set to the second AT state in the fourth replay time state. When the continuous AT lottery is not won, a technique for causing the effect device to execute the second winning assist effect for assisting the winning of Replay I in the fourth replay time state is adopted. Hereinafter, the method of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 24, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S100), a cherry is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S102), and the gaming state is the normal state or the first replay time state (step When the effect state is the normal effect state (Y in S104) (Y in Step S105), the first AT lottery is performed (Step S106). When the first AT lottery is won (Y in step S108), the effect state is set to the first AT preparation state (step S110).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 25, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S130), and any one of batting order replay A1 to batting order replay A4 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S132), and the effect state is the first AT preparation. If the state is set (Y in step S134), the second winning assistance effect that notifies the first correct answer striking order (see FIG. 11) for winning the replay C is executed (step S136). The state is induced from the first replay time state to the second replay time state (see FIG. 23). Then, the effect state is set to the first AT state (step S138), and “50” is set to the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 (step S140).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 26, when a game start operation is performed (Y in step S150) and the effect state is set to the first AT state (Y in step S152), the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 Then, “1” is subtracted (step S154), and when the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 becomes “0” (Y in step S156), the effect state is set to the normal effect state (step S158).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 27, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S170), and any one of batting order replay B1 to batting order replay B3 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S172), and the effect state is the first AT state. Is set (Y in step S174), the second winning assistance effect for informing the correct hitting order (see FIG. 11) for winning Replay I is executed (step S176), so that the gaming state is the first. It is induced from the 2 replay time state to the fifth replay time state (see FIG. 23).

  As shown in FIG. 28, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S180), and any one of batting order replay E1 to batting order replay E2 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S182), and the effect state is the first AT state. Is set (Y in step S184), the second winning assist effect for informing the first correct hit order (see FIG. 11) for winning the replay A is executed (step S186), and the gaming state Is maintained in the fifth replay time state (see FIG. 23).

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the first AT lottery is won in the normal state or the first replay time state, the second winning assist effect is executed, so that the gaming state is changed from the first replay time state to the second replay time state. To the fifth replay time state. In the fifth replay time state, until the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 becomes “0”, the gaming state is maintained in the fifth replay time state by executing the second prize assisting effect. When the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, the first prize assisting effect is executed, so that the bell wins and nine medals can be obtained.

  Then, when the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is “0”, when the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, the first winning assistance effect is not executed, so that the bell does not win and a falling blank is displayed. The gaming state is shifted to the first replay time state.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 29, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S190), a cherry is won by internal lottery (Y in step S192), and the gaming state is the fifth replay time state (Y in step S194). ) When the performance state is the first AT state (Y in step S195), the second AT lottery is performed (step S196). When the second AT lottery is won (Y in step S198), the effect state is set to the second AT preparation state (step S200).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 30, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S210), and any one of batting order replay E1 to batting order replay E2 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S212), and the production state is the second AT preparation. If the state is set (Y in step S214), the second winning assist effect that notifies the second correct answer striking order (see FIG. 11) for winning the replay D is executed (step S216). The state is induced from the fifth replay time state to the third replay time state (see FIG. 23).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 31, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S230), and in the internal lottery, blue 7-match replay 1 to blue 7-match replay 2, red 7-match replay 1 to red 7-match replay 2, and BAR match. If any one of Replay 1 to BAR-matched Replay 2 is won (Y in Step S232) and the production state is set to the second AT preparation state (Y in Step S234), or freeze replay is won by internal lottery In the case where it has been performed (Y in Step S236), the second winning assistance effect that notifies the specific batting order (see FIG. 12) that can win any one of Replay F to Replay H is executed (Step S238). The gaming state is induced from the third replay time state to the fourth replay time state (see FIG. 23). Then, the effect state is set to the second AT state (step S240).

  If the winning combination of the internal lottery is one of BAR-matched replay 1 to BAR-matched replay 2 (Y in step S241), the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is set to “20” (step S242), when the winning part of the internal lottery is any one of blue 7 replay 1 to blue 7 replay 2, red 7 replay 1 to red 7 replay 2 and freeze replay (N in step S241) The value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is set to “50” (step S243), and the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is set to “50” (step S244).

  Then, the continuous AT lottery is performed (step S245), and when the continuous AT lottery is won (Y in step S246), the continuous flag is set to the on state in the effect flag storage means 200 (step S248).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 32, when a game start operation is performed (Y in step S260) and the effect state is set to the second AT state (Y in step S262), the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 is set. Then, “1” is subtracted (step S264), and when the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 becomes “0” (Y in step S266), it is determined whether or not the continuous flag is set to ON (step S266). Step S268). If the continuous flag is on (Y in step S268), the effect state is set to the second AT preparation state (step S270), and the continuous flag is set to the off state (step S272). On the other hand, when the continuous flag is not on (Y in step S268), the effect state is set to the first AT preparation state (step S274).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 33, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S280), one of the batting order replay D1 to batting order replay D2 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S282), and the production state is the second AT state. Is set (Y in step S284), the second winning assist effect for informing the first correct hit order (see FIG. 11) for winning the replay A is executed (step S286), and the gaming state Is maintained in the fourth replay time state (see FIG. 23).

  On the other hand, when the production state is not set to the second AT state (N in step S284) and is set to the second AT preparation state (Y in step S288), that is, the second AT state is finished but continuously. When the AT lottery is won, the second winning assistance effect that notifies the second correct answer hit order (see FIG. 11) for winning the replay D is executed (step S292), so that the gaming state is the fourth replay. It is induced from the time state to the third replay time state (see FIG. 23).

  Further, when the production state is not set to the second AT preparation state (N in step S288), but the production state is set to the first AT preparation state (Y in step S294), that is, the second AT state is set. When it is finished and the continuous AT lottery is not won, the second winning assist effect for informing the third correct hit order (see FIG. 11) for winning Replay I is executed (step S295), so that the gaming state is It is induced from the fourth replay time state to the fifth replay time state (see FIG. 23). Then, the effect state is set to the first AT state (step S296).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second AT lottery is won in the fifth replay time state, the second winning assist effect is executed, so that the gaming state passes from the fifth replay time state to the third replay time state. To the fourth replay time state. In addition, when the freeze replay is won by the internal lottery in the first replay time state, the second winning assistance effect is executed regardless of whether the first AT lottery or the second AT lottery is won, so that the first replay time state To the 4th replay time state. In the fourth replay time state, until the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 becomes “0”, the gaming state is maintained in the fourth replay time state by executing the second winning assist effect. When the batting order bell is won in the internal lottery, the first prize assisting effect is executed, so that the bell wins and nine medals can be obtained.

  Then, when the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 becomes “0”, when the continuous AT lottery is won, the second winning assist effect is made so as to shift from the fourth replay time state to the third replay time state. Is executed again, the production state is set to the second AT state and the gaming state is set to the fourth replay time state. On the other hand, if the consecutive AT lottery is not won, The fifth replay is performed until the value of the remaining first AT end determination counter 197 becomes “0” by executing the second prize assisting effect so as to shift from the 4 replay time state to the fifth replay time state. A game in the first AT state is played in the time state.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 34, when the first AT lottery is won (Y in Step S310), the ART confirmed effect flag is set to the on state in the effect flag storage means 200 (Step S312). When the second AT lottery is won (Y in Step S314), the pseudo bonus confirmed effect flag is set to the on state in the effect flag storage means 200 (Step S316). Even when the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 reaches “0” (Y in step S318) and the continuous flag is set to ON (Y in step S320), the effect flag storage means 200 The pseudo bonus confirmed effect flag is set to the on state (step S322).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 35, when a game start operation is performed (Y in step S330) and the ART finalized effect flag is set to ON (Y in step S332), the real ART finalized effect is executed. (Step S334), the ART finalized effect flag is set to an off state (step S335). On the other hand, when the pseudo bonus fixed effect flag is set to the on state (Y in step S336), the pseudo bonus fixed effect is executed (step S338), and the pseudo bonus fixed effect flag is set to the off state (step S338). Step S340).

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the second AT lottery is won in the fifth replay time state, the pseudo bonus finalizing effect is executed when the game start operation is performed for the next game of the game won in the second AT lottery. However, in the internal lottery table F referred to in the internal lottery in the fifth replay time state, the blue 7-match replay 1 to the blue 7-match replay 2, the red 7-match replay 1 to the red 7-match replay 2, and the BAR-match replay 1 -Since BAR matching replay 2 and freeze replay are not subject to lottery (see FIGS. 4, 6, and 7), the blue 7 symbol “blue 7” and the red 7 symbol “red 7” shown in FIGS. ”And BAR symbol“ BAR ”are displayed in a straight line so that Replay F to Replay H will not win.

  However, in the fifth replay time state, the result of the internal lottery is not lost, and if any one of the batting order replay E1 to the batting order replay E2 is won in the internal lottery, the second correct answer batting order for winning the replay D (FIG. 11). By executing the second winning assistance effect informing the user of the reference), the gaming state is induced from the fifth replay time state to the third replay time state.

  In the internal lottery table D referred to in the internal lottery in the third replay time state, the blue 7-match replay 1 to the blue 7-match replay 2, the red 7-match replay 1 to the red 7-match replay 2, and the BAR-match replay 1 to BAR. The total of the winning probabilities of the matching replay 2 (the winning probability of the specific role) is blue 7 matching replay 1 to blue 7 matching replay 2, red 7 matching replay 1 to red 7 matching replay 2, BAR matching replay 1 to BAR matching. The winning probabilities of the respective combinations are set so as to be higher than the winning probabilities of the respective combinations other than the replay 2 (other combinations and small combinations).

  Even in the third replay time state, the result of the internal lottery is not lost, and in the internal lottery, blue 7-match replay 1 to blue 7-match replay 2, red 7-match replay 1 to red 7-match replay 2, BAR-match replay 1 If any one of the BAR-matched replays 2 is won, the second winning auxiliary effect for notifying the specific batting order (see FIG. 12) that can win any of the replays F to H is executed. The state is induced from the third replay time state to the fourth replay time state, and the game in the second AT state is started.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when the pseudo bonus finalizing effect is executed, the blue 7 symbol “blue 7”, the red 7 symbol “red 7”, and the BAR symbol “BAR” are displayed in a straight line and displayed immediately. Replay F to Replay H will not win, but after the pseudo bonus finalizing effect is executed, make the player feel as if it is kept in the winning state until the bonus won in the internal lottery wins Can do.

  Then, in the third replay time state, the stop operation is performed in accordance with the second winning assistance effect informing the specific batting order (see FIG. 12) that can win any of Replay F to Replay H, and the blue 7 symbol “blue 7” is displayed. ”, Red 7 symbol“ red 7 ”and BAR symbol“ BAR ”are displayed in a straight line, and if Replay F to Replay H wins, it seems as if the bonus has been won and the bonus state has started. Can make the player feel.

  In the present embodiment, any one of blue 7-match replay 1 to blue 7-match replay 2, red 7-match replay 1 to red 7-match replay 2, BAR-match replay 1 to BAR-match replay 2, and freeze replay is won in the internal lottery. In the game, the replay F to replay H do not win in the stop mode in which the blue 7 symbol “blue 7”, the red 7 symbol “red 7”, and the BAR symbol “BAR” are displayed in a straight line. Even if is won, the gaming state shifts to the fourth replay time state and the second AT state is started.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the continuous AT lottery is won, the pseudo bonus finalizing effect is executed when the game start operation is performed for the next game of which the second AT state has ended, so that it is as if the bonus state is It is possible to make the player feel as if the bonus has been won continuously in the next game that has ended.

  Here, in the internal lottery table E referred to in the internal lottery in the fourth replay time state, the blue 7-match replay 1 to the blue 7-match replay 2, the red 7-match replay 1 to the red 7-match replay 2, and the BAR-match replay 1 to Since BAR-matched replay 2 and freeze replay are not subject to lottery (see FIGS. 4, 6, and 7), the blue 7 symbol “blue 7” and the red 7 symbol “red 7” shown in FIGS. In addition, Replay F to Replay H will not win in a stop mode in which the BAR symbols “BAR” are displayed in a straight line.

  However, even if the result of the internal lottery is not lost even in the fourth replay time state, if any one of the batting order replay D1 to batting order replay D2 wins in the internal lottery, the second correct answer batting order for winning the replay D (FIG. 11). By executing the second winning assistance effect informing the user of the reference), the gaming state is induced from the fourth replay time state to the third replay time state.

  As described above, the result of the internal lottery is not lost even in the third replay time state, and in the internal lottery, the blue 7-match replay 1 to the blue 7-match replay 2 and the red 7-match replay 1 to the red 7-match replay 2 If any of BAR-matched replay 1 to BAR-matched replay 2 wins, the second winning assist effect that notifies the specific batting order (see FIG. 12) that can win any of replay F to replay H is executed. Thus, the gaming state is guided from the third replay time state to the fourth replay time state, and the game in the second AT state is started.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the pseudo bonus finalizing effect is executed in the next game of the game in which the second AT state has ended, the blue 7 symbol “blue 7”, the red 7 symbol “red 7”, and the BAR symbol “BAR” are immediately performed. Although the replay F to replay H do not win in a stop mode in which are displayed in a straight line, it is possible to make the player feel as if the bonus is maintained in the winning state in the internal lottery.

  Then, in the third replay time state, the stop operation is performed in accordance with the second winning assistance effect informing the specific batting order (see FIG. 12) that can win any of Replay F to Replay H, and the blue 7 symbol “blue 7” is displayed. ”, Red 7 symbol“ red 7 ”and BAR symbol“ BAR ”are displayed in a straight line, and if replay F to replay H wins, it will be as if the bonus that was won continuously wins and the bonus is again The player can feel as if the state has started.

2-2. Production control related to the added section Further, in this embodiment, when the production control means 180 decides to shift to the third AT state, it guarantees the addition of the stored value of the first AT end determination counter 197 in the third AT state. A method is adopted in which a predetermined value is set in the guaranteed number counter 201 that counts the number of times, and the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is decreased based on the fact that a navigation error has occurred in the game until the transition to the third AT state. Yes. Further, in the present embodiment, when the transition to the third AT state is determined, the effect control means 180 sets a precursor effect section over a plurality of games, and enters the third AT state in the last game of the precursor effect section. The extra section finalizing effect is executed to notify the transition of the first stage, and after the precursor stage producing section is ended, the state is shifted to the third AT state. A technique to prevent execution is adopted. Hereinafter, the method of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 36, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S360), the watermelon is won by internal lottery (Y in step S362), and the gaming state is the fifth replay time state (Y in step S364). ) When the performance state is the first AT state (Y in step S366), the third AT lottery is performed (step S368). When the third AT lottery is won (Y in step S369), “2” is set to the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 (step S370). Then, regardless of whether or not the third AT lottery has been won, the sign game number lottery is performed (step S371), and the number of games won in the sign game number lottery is set as the value of the sign effect counter 202 (step S372). A precursor effect section is set by setting the precursor effect flag to the on state in the effect flag storage unit 200 (step S374).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 37, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S390), and when the precursor effect flag is set to the on state (Y in step S392), the 0th precursor effect is executed ( Step S394) When the first stop operation is performed among the stop operations for the stop buttons B1 to B3 (Step S396), the first precursor effect is executed (Step S398), and the second stop operation is performed. (Y in step S400), the second precursor effect is executed (step S402).

  When the third stop operation is performed (Y in step S404), if the value of the warning effect counter 202 is not “1”, that is, if it is not the last game in the warning effect section (N in step S406). Then, the third precursor effect is executed (step S414). On the other hand, when the value of the sign effect counter 202 is “1”, that is, when it is the last game in the sign effect section (Y in step S406), the first winning assist effect or the second winning assist effect is not followed. It is determined whether or not a stop operation has been performed, that is, whether or not a so-called navigation error has occurred (step S408). If a navigation error has occurred (Y in step S408), a final game navigation error effect is executed (step S410). . On the other hand, when there is no navigation mistake (N in step S408), when the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is larger than “0” (Y in step S411), the added section finalizing effect is executed (step S412). When the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is “0” (N in step S411), a non-winning effect is executed (step S413).

  As shown in FIG. 38, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S430), and when the precursor effect flag is on (Y in step S432), a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3. When the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is larger than “0” (Y in step S435), it is determined whether or not a navigation error has occurred (step S436). If there is a navigation error (Y in step S436), a winning determination process is performed to determine the symbol combination displayed on the active line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. After that (step S437), “1” is subtracted from the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 (step S438). When the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0” (Y in step S440), the value of the warning effect counter 202 is reset to “0” (step S441), and the warning effect flag is set to an off state. (Step S442).

  On the other hand, if there is no navigation mistake (N in step S436), or even if there is a navigation mistake, the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 does not become “0” (N in step S440), the value of the indication effect counter 202 is calculated. When “1” is subtracted (step S444) and the value of the warning effect counter 202 becomes “0” (Y in step S446), the warning effect flag is set to the off state (step S448), and the effect state is first. The 3AT ready state is set (step S450).

  Further, even if the indication effect flag is on (Y in step S432), if the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is “0” (Y in step S436), that is, the third AT lottery is not won. In this case, “1” is subtracted from the value of the warning effect counter 202 (step S452), and when the value of the warning effect counter 202 becomes “0” (Y in step S454), the warning effect flag is set to an off state. (Step S456).

  As shown in FIG. 39, when a game start operation is performed (Y in step S460) and the effect state is the third AT preparation state (Y in step S462), a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3. If it is determined (Y in step S464), it is determined whether or not there is a navigation error (step S466). If there is a navigation mistake (Y in step S466), a winning determination process is performed (step S467), and then "1" is subtracted from the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 (step S468). When the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0” (Y in step S470), the effect state is set to the first AT state (step S472).

  On the other hand, although the performance state is the third AT preparation state (Y in step S462), if there is no navigation mistake (N in step S466), or even if there is a navigation mistake, the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 does not become “0”. In this case (N in step S470), the process is terminated as it is, and the effect state is maintained in the third AT preparation state.

  As shown in FIG. 40, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S490), and any one of batting order replay E1 to batting order replay E2 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S492), and the production state is the third AT preparation. If it is in the state (Y in step S494), the second winning assistance effect that notifies the third correct answer striking order (see FIG. 11) for winning the replay J is executed (step S496), and the gaming state is the fifth replay time. The state is induced to the sixth replay time state (see FIG. 23). Then, when the symbol combination indicating the winning form of Replay J is displayed (Y in step S498), the effect state is set to the third AT state (step S500).

  Also, as shown in FIG. 41, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S520), one of the batting order replay Y2 to batting order replay Z2 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S522), and the production state is the third AT state. (Y in step S524) and if the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is greater than “0” (Y in step S526), the second winning assistance for notifying the specific batting order (see FIG. 16) for winning the replay L An effect is executed (step S528). Then, a stop operation is performed on the stop buttons B1 to B3 (Y in step S530), and when the white 7 symbol “white 7” is displayed in double alignment as shown in FIG. 17B (in step S532). Y) “100” is added to the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 (step S534), and when the white 7 pattern “white 7” is not displayed in double alignment (N in step S532), the first AT “50” is added to the value of the end determination counter 197 (step S536). Then, “1” is subtracted from the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 (step S538).

  On the other hand, even if any one of the batting order replay Y2 to batting order replay Z2 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S522), the effect state is not the third AT state (N in step S524), or the guaranteed number counter 201 When the value of “0” is “0” (N in step S526), the second winning assist effect that notifies the correct hit order (see FIG. 16) for winning Replay I is executed (step S540), and the gaming state is the sixth. It is induced from the replay time state to the fifth replay time state (see FIG. 23).

  Also, as shown in FIG. 42, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S550), one of the batting order replay X2 to batting order replay X3 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S552), and the production state is the third AT state. (Y in step S554) and if the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is greater than “0” (Y in step S556), the second correct notification order (see FIG. 16) for replaying A is awarded. The winning assist effect is executed (step S558), and the gaming state is maintained in the sixth replay time state (see FIG. 23). On the other hand, even if any one of batting order replay X2 to batting order replay X3 is won in the internal lottery (Y in step S552), the production state is not the third AT state (N in step S554), or the guaranteed number counter 201 When the value of “0” is “0” (N in step S556), the second winning assist effect for informing the correct hit order (see FIG. 16) for winning Replay I is executed (step S560), and the gaming state is the sixth. It is induced from the replay time state to the fifth replay time state (see FIG. 23).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 43, a game start operation is performed (Y in step S580), the production state is the third AT state (Y in step S582), and a symbol combination or a falling blank indicating a replay I winning form is shown. When the symbol combination is displayed (step S584), the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is reset to “0” (step S586), and the effect state is set to the first AT state (step S588).

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the game state is the fifth replay time state and the effect state is the first AT state, if the third AT lottery is won, a symptom effect section over two to five games is set. In addition, the player's sense of expectation that the stage state is set to the third AT state is greatly enhanced by executing the stage stage effect triggered by the game start operation and stop operation in each game in the precursor stage section. . Then, the player is notified that the production state is set to the third AT state by executing the additional zone confirmation production when the third stop operation is performed for the last game in the precursor production zone. doing.

  Then, when the indication effect section is finished, the effect state is set to the third AT preparation state, and in the third AT preparation state, the second winning assist effect is executed, so that the game state is changed from the fifth replay time state to the sixth replay time state. Be guided to. Then, in the sixth replay time state, the effect state is set to the third AT state, and the second winning assist effect for informing the specific batting order for winning the replay L is executed until the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0”. As a result, while the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is increased, the second winning assistance effect for informing the first correct answer striking order for winning Replay A is executed, so that the gaming state is in the sixth replay time state. To be maintained. Then, when the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0”, a symbol combination indicating a winning form of the Replay I is displayed by executing the second winning auxiliary effect for informing the correct hit order for winning the Replay I. The gaming state is induced to the fifth replay time state.

  However, in the present embodiment, when the player makes a navigation mistake in the game in the precursor stage or in the game in the third AT preparation state, the symbol combination indicating the winning form of the replay D is displayed, and the gaming state is changed from the fifth replay time state. Transition to the third replay time state, a symbol combination indicating a falling blank is displayed, and the gaming state shifts from the fifth replay time state to the first replay time state, or the replay A or replay B wins. If the symbol combination indicating the form is displayed and the gaming state is not shifted to the sixth replay time state but is maintained in the fifth replay time state, it is unexpected until the gaming state shifts to the sixth replay time state. 3rd AT state can be started for a while even though the number of games is required and the sign production section has ended. Or not, disadvantage that the value of the 1AT end determination counter 197 is set to "0" is the first 1AT state or accidentally termination occurs prior to the start of the second 3AT state.

  In the present embodiment, since the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is not subtracted even if a game is performed in the third AT ready state, the number of games in which the first winning assist effect or the second winning assist effect is performed unreasonably increases. Inconvenience occurs. However, if the player makes a navigation mistake even once in the game in the precursor stage or in the game in the third AT ready state, if the transition to the third AT state is canceled, the penalty for the player may be excessive. .

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, “1” is subtracted from the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 every time the player makes a navigation mistake in the game in the indication effect section or the game in the third AT preparation state. In the present embodiment, “2” is set as the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 when the third AT lottery is won, so that the effect state is the third AT state after winning the third AT lottery. If the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0” due to two navigation mistakes before the setting is set to “3”, the transition to the third AT state is canceled by setting the rendering state to the first AT state. I am doing so.

  As a result, in this embodiment, when the first navigation mistake is made after winning the third AT lottery, it is also possible that a navigation error has occurred due to the player's error, so the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 If the second navigation mistake is made and the player's intention is to make a navigation mistake, the opportunity to increase the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 disappears. Can be penalized. In other words, in the present embodiment, a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player in stages is imposed according to the number of navigation mistakes after winning the third AT lottery. In this way, in this embodiment, an appropriate penalty is given to a player's navigation mistake in a game in the precursor effect section or a game in the third AT preparation state.

  In the present embodiment, when the third AT lottery is won, the added section finalizing effect is executed when the third stop operation is performed for the last game in the predictive effect section. When a navigation error occurs in the last game of the section, “1” is subtracted from the value of the guaranteed number counter 201, so that the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0” and the state shifts to the third AT state. May be canceled or the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 may be “1” and the transition to the third AT state may not be canceled.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when the third AT lottery is won, the added section finalizing effect is always executed in response to the third stop operation performed for the last game in the precursor effect section. In this case, there is a disadvantage that the added section finalizing effect is executed even though the transition to the third AT state is canceled due to a navigation mistake in the last game of the precursor effect section.

  However, in the present embodiment, even if a “1” is subtracted from the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 when a navigation error is made in the warning effect section or the third AT preparation state, the second prize is also received in the third AT state. Even when “1” is subtracted from the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a specific batting order according to the auxiliary effect, the symbol combination or the falling blank indicating the winning form of the replay D is also possible. Even when the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is reset to “0” when the symbol combination indicating is displayed, it is displayed on the active line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. Since the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 has been updated after determining the symbol combination that has been made, the third game for the last game in the precursor effect section At the time of operation stop is performed, it is impossible to value of the guaranteed number counter 201 by Nabimisu in the last game of the aura effect interval it is determined whether or not "0".

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a navigation error occurs in the last game in the precursor effect section, regardless of whether or not the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0” due to a navigation error in the last game in the precursor effect section. The final game navigation error effect for notifying that a navigation error has occurred in the last game in the warning effect zone is executed without executing the added segment determination effect.

  Even when the final game navigation miss effect is executed, if the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 does not become “0” due to the navigation error in the last game in the precursor effect section, the effect state is set to the third AT preparation state. . On the other hand, when the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0” due to a navigation mistake in the last game in the indication effect section, the effect state is not set to the third AT preparation state.

  As a result, in this embodiment, there is no inconvenience that the added section finalizing effect is executed even though the transition to the third AT state is canceled due to a navigation error in the last game of the precursor effect section. .

3. Modification 3-1. Modifications Related to the First AT State or the Second AT State The present invention is not limited to the one described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made, and modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  For example, in the above embodiment, in the first AT state or the second AT state, “1” is subtracted from the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 or the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 every time a game start operation is performed. As described above, in the first AT state or the second AT state, “1” from the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 or the value of the second AT end determination counter 198 every time the first winning assist effect or the second winning assist effect is performed. "May be subtracted.

  In the above-described embodiment, in the second AT preparation state, one of blue 7-match replay 1 to blue 7-match replay 2, red 7-match replay 1 to red 7-match replay 2, and BAR-match replay 1 to BAR-match replay 2 is won. Although an example in which a continuous AT lottery is performed for the next game of the game or the next game of the game won by freeze replay has been described as an opportunity, the blue AT 7 in the second AT preparation state has been described. Match Replay 1 to Blue 7 Match Replay 2, Red 7 Match Replay 1 to Red 7 Match Replay 2, BAR Match Replay 1 to BAR Match Replay 2 or Freeze Replay is selected and Replay F to H May be displayed on the active line, a continuous AT lottery may be performed.

  In addition, continuous AT lottery may be performed based on the fact that a predetermined role such as cherry is won by internal lottery in the fourth replay time state, or as shown in FIG. 17A in the fourth replay time state. The white 7 symbol “White 7” is displayed in a single line, based on the replay L winning in a stop mode, and as shown in FIG. 17B, the white 7 symbol “White 7” is displayed in a double line. The continuous AT lottery may be performed based on the replay L winning in the stopped mode.

  In the above embodiment, only in the internal lottery table D referred to in the third replay time state, the blue 7-match replay 1 to the blue 7-match replay 2, the red 7-match replay 1 to the red 7-match replay 2, and the BAR-match replay 1 to Although an example in which BAR-matched replay 2 is selected as a lottery target has been described, in the internal lottery table referenced in other gaming states, blue 7-matched replay 1 to blue 7-matched replay 2, red 7-matched replay 1 to red 7 The reel control may be performed so that the replay E to the replay H may be arranged only in the third replay time state while the replay 2 and the BAR uniform replay 1 to the BAR uniform replay 2 are targeted for the lottery.

  In the above-described embodiment, the winning combination probability of the small role is set to about 2/3, and the internal lottery is performed so that the winning probability of the small role is higher than the winning probability of the replay. However, the internal lottery may be performed such that the winning probability of the replay is higher than the winning probability of the small role in some or all of the internal lottery tables. For example, in the internal lottery table D referred to in the third replay time state, blue 7-match replay 1 to blue 7-match replay 2, red 7-match replay 1 to red 7-match replay 2, BAR-match replay 1 to BAR-match replay 2 The total of the respective winning probabilities may be higher than the total of the winning probabilities of a plurality of types of small roles. That is, in the internal lottery table D, the total winning probabilities for each of blue 7-match replay 1 to blue 7-match replay 2, red 7-match replay 1 to red 7-match replay 2, BAR-match replay 1 to BAR-match replay 2 (specification) The winning probability of the combination may be higher than the winning probability of the small combination (other combination).

  Also, in the above embodiment, the stop button in a specific batting order when winning the blue 7 replay 1 to the blue 7 replay 2, the red 7 replay 1 to the red 7 replay 2, the BAR replay 1 to the BAR replay 2 and the freeze replay is selected. Even when B1 to B3 are pressed, if any one of Replay F to Replay H cannot be won, an example is given in which Replay E wins. If you press stop buttons B1 to B3 in a specific order when winning Replay 1 to Blue 7 Replay 2, Red 7 Replay 1 to Red 7 Replay 2, BAR Replay 1 to BAR Replay 2, or Freeze Replay Any of Replay F to Replay H may be awarded.

  In the above-described embodiment, each of the first symbol combination to the third symbol combination is described as an example of a symbol combination indicating a replay winning form. However, each of the first symbol combination to the third symbol combination is any one or any one of them. May be a symbol combination indicating a winning combination of a small role, or may be a symbol combination displayed when a winning of a small role is missed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the ART final effect is executed when the game start operation is performed for the next game of the game won in the first AT lottery, and the next game of the game won in the second AT lottery is played. Although an example in which the pseudo bonus finalizing effect is executed in response to the start operation has been described, the ART finalizing effect is executed after the first AT state prelude effect section has ended after winning the first AT lottery. The pseudo-bonus confirmation effect may be executed after the aforesaid effect section in the second AT state is completed after the second AT lottery is executed. In this case, the presentation state may be set to the first AT preparation state after the first AT state prelude stage is finished, and may be set to the second AT preparation state after the second AT state prelude stage. Good.

3-2. In the above embodiment, if it is determined that there has been a navigation error before the third stop operation is performed in the last game in the precursor stage, the third stop operation is triggered. As an example of executing the final game navigation miss effect, the third AT lottery is won if it is determined that there was a navigation error in the first or second stop operation in the last game of the precursor effect section. Regardless of whether or not it is being performed, the final game navigation error effect may be executed with the first or second stop operation as an opportunity, without executing the first precursor effect or the second precursor effect.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0” due to a navigation mistake in the warning effect section, the value of the warning effect counter 202 is reset to “0” and the warning effect flag is set to an off state. However, even if the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0” due to a navigation mistake in the sign effect section, the sign effect section is continued without resetting the value of the sign effect counter 202 to “0”. You may do it. In this case, in the last game in the indication effect section, the non-winning effect is executed in response to the third stop operation based on the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 being “0”.

  In the above embodiment, in the game in which the production state is the third AT state and one of the batting order replay Y2 to batting order replay Z2 is won in the internal lottery, the white 7 symbol “white 7” is displayed in a single or double line. In the case where there is not, the example in which “50” is added to the first AT end determination counter 197 has been described, but when the white 7 pattern “white 7” is not displayed in a single or double alignment, The value of the first AT end determination counter 197 may not be added. If the white 7 pattern “white 7” is not displayed in a single or double alignment, the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 may or may not be subtracted.

  That is, the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 may guarantee the number of times that the value of the first AT end determination counter 197 is added, or the second winning assist effect for assisting the Replay L winning by notifying the specific batting order. May be guaranteed. Further, the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 may be guaranteed as a value corresponding to the number of games added to the value of the first AT end determination counter 197.

  In the above embodiment, when the third AT state is ended, the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute an extra game number notification effect for notifying the player of the value added to the first AT end determination counter 197 in the third AT state. Although described with an example, each time the replay L wins in the third AT state, it is possible to make the display device 330 or the audio device 340 execute a game number notification effect.

  In the above embodiment, an example is described in which the transition to the third AT state is canceled when the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 becomes “0”. However, the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is other than “0”. The transition to the third AT state may be canceled when the predetermined value is reached.

  In the above embodiment, the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is set to “0” based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the Replay I winning form or the symbol combination indicating the falling blank is displayed on the active line in the third AT state. Although the example of setting the production state to the first AT state has been described with resetting, the symbol combination indicating the Replay I winning form or the symbol combination indicating the falling blank is displayed on the active line in the third AT state. When the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 is not “0”, the effect state may be maintained in the third AT state without resetting the value of the guaranteed number counter 201 to “0”. That is, when the game state is changed from the sixth replay time state to the first replay time state due to a navigation mistake by maintaining the effect state in the third AT state even if a navigation mistake is performed when the performance state is the third AT state. When the game state is changed from the sixth replay time state to the fifth replay time state so as to return to the sixth replay time state via the second replay time state and the fifth replay time state. Alternatively, the second winning assistance effect may be executed by the display device 330 or the audio device 340 so as to return to the sixth replay time state.
