In this case, the payout display unit can be configured to display two-digit numbers in the decimal system of 00 to 99 using two seven-segment displays. The payout display unit displays information on the number of medals to be paid out due to occurrence of a prize in the variable game. Note that the number of medals paid out due to the occurrence of a prize in the fluctuating game is not the number of medals actually paid out from the medal payout opening 22 but the number of medals added to the credit. It can be said that it is the number of medals awarded when a prize is generated.

Next, the symbol combination in which the prize is determined will be described. In addition, the symbol combination in which the prize is determined is also called a “role”.
The symbol combination (role) in which the prize is determined includes a symbol combination in which the payout of medals is determined as the prize (payout role), a symbol combination in which the bonus is determined as the prize (bonus role), and a symbol combination in which the replay is determined as the prize. (Re-player). The replay is that the next fluctuating game can be started without having to bet a medal.

The payout role includes, for example, a cherry role, a watermelon role, a bell role, and a single role.
For the cherry combination, payout of a predetermined number (for example, two) of medals is set as a prize. In the following description, a symbol combination that is stopped on the activated line NL when the cherry winning combination is won is referred to as a “cherry stop eye”. In this embodiment, the cherry combination includes a normal cherry combination and a special cherry combination. Then, the symbol combination stopped on the activated line NL when the normal cherry combination wins (hereinafter referred to as a normal cherry stop eye) is a symbol combination stopped on the activated line NL when the special cherry combination wins ( Hereinafter, it is called special cherry stop eye). Incidentally, the number of medals paid out when the normal cherry winning combination and the number of medals paid out when the special cherry winning combination may be different or the same.

  For the watermelon combination, a predetermined number of medals (for example, six) are paid out as a prize. In the following description, a symbol combination that is stopped on the activated line NL when the watermelon combination wins is called a “watermelon stop eye”.

  The payout of a predetermined number (for example, eight) of medals is set as the prize for the bell part. In the following description, a symbol combination stopped on the activated line NL when the bell combination wins is called a "bell stop eye".

  For one winning combination, payout of a predetermined number (for example, one) of medals is determined as a prize. In the following description, a symbol combination stopped on the activated line NL when one winning combination wins is called a "bell spill stop eye". In the slot machine according to the present embodiment, it is necessary to bet one or more medals in performing the fluctuation game. Therefore, even if one winning part wins, the number of medals before the one winning part increases is increased. There is no.

  In the present embodiment, the number of medals to be paid out includes not the number of medals actually paid out from the medal payout opening 22 but the number of medals added as credits, and the medals given to the player. It corresponds to the number of sheets.

  For the bonus combination, provision of a bonus (bonus game state) is defined as a prize. On the other hand, in the bonus combination, payout of medals and replays are not defined as prizes. In the following description, a symbol combination that is stopped on the activated line NL when a bonus combination is won is referred to as a “bonus stop eye”.

  The replaying role is also called a replaying role. Replays are defined as prizes for replays. In the following description, a symbol combination that is stopped on the activated line NL when the re-game combination wins is called a “re-game stop eye”. In the present embodiment, the replaying role includes a normal replaying role and a promotion replaying role. Then, the symbol combination stopped on the activated line NL when the normal re-gaming wins (hereinafter referred to as a normal re-game stop) is stopped on the activated line NL when the promoted re-gaming wins. This is different from the symbol combination (hereinafter referred to as the promotion re-game stop).

As shown in FIG. 2, the gaming states in the slot machine 10 include a first gaming state, a second gaming state, a third gaming state, and a bonus gaming state.
In the slot machine 10, a winning of a bonus combination may be permitted in a combination lottery described later. Then, in the slot machine 10, in the variable game in which the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the lottery, if the winning of the bonus combination is not achieved, the winning of the bonus combination (winning of the bonus combination) is carried over. In the present embodiment, after the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the combination lottery, the winning of the bonus combination continues to be permitted until the bonus combination is won. In the slot machine 10, after the winning of the bonus combination in the winning lottery is allowed, the gaming state in which the winning of the bonus combination is continuously allowed from the next variable game is a third gaming state.

  In general, the fact that the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the combination lottery is also referred to as winning the bonus combination. In addition, if the winning of the bonus combination continues to be permitted, it is also said that the winning of the bonus combination is carried over. Further, the third gaming state is also referred to as “internal”. On the other hand, the first gaming state and the second gaming state are also called “non-internal”. Further, in a gaming state other than the bonus gaming state, when the third gaming state in which the winning of the bonus combination is continuously permitted is set to the carryover gaming state, the first gaming state and the second gaming state in which the winning of the bonus combination is not continuously permitted. Can also be called a non-carryover gaming state.

  In the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bonus combination is permitted, when the winning of the combination other than the bonus combination is permitted, the winning of the combination other than the bonus combination is prioritized. Incidentally, the bonus gaming state is also referred to as “in the role of a bonus”, and the gaming state other than the bonus gaming state is also referred to as “in the non-principal”.

Hereinafter, based on FIG. 2, each game state and the mode of transition between the game states will be described.
In the slot machine 10, when the promoted re-gaming wins in the first gaming state, the state shifts from the first gaming state to the second gaming state. Further, in the slot machine 10, when one winning combination is won in the second gaming state, the state shifts from the second gaming state to the first gaming state.

  In the slot machine 10, in the first gaming state, if the bonus combination does not win in the variable game in which the bonus combination is allowed in the combination lottery (in the drawing, the carryover of the bonus combination is indicated). A transition is made from the first game state to the third game state. Similarly, when the slot machine 10 is in the second gaming state, if the bonus combination does not win in the variable game in which the bonus combination is allowed in the combination lottery (in the drawing, this is indicated as “carryover of bonus combination”). ), A transition from the second gaming state to the third gaming state.

  Further, in the second gaming state, compared to the first gaming state, a winning state of a re-gaming combination is easily allowed. For this reason, in the second gaming state, consumption of medals is suppressed as compared with the first gaming state. Therefore, it can be said that the second gaming state is more advantageous than the first gaming state. The second game state is a so-called “replay time (RT)”.

  In the slot machine 10, when a bonus combination is won in a gaming state other than the bonus gaming state (the first gaming state, the second gaming state, and the third gaming state), the gaming state other than the bonus gaming state is changed to the bonus gaming state. Move to. By shifting from a gaming state other than the bonus gaming state to the bonus gaming state, a bonus gaming state is generated (given). As described above, in the slot machine 10, the bonus game state is generated when the bonus stop is derived in the variable game.

  In the bonus game state, the winning probability of the payout combination in the lottery is improved as compared to the game state other than the bonus game state. Note that the payout winning probability means a probability that the payout is allowed to win. As described above, in the bonus gaming state, the frequency of acquiring medals is higher than in the gaming states other than the bonus gaming state. Therefore, the bonus gaming state is a gaming state that is more advantageous for the player than gaming states other than the bonus gaming state.

  The slot machine 10 shifts from the bonus gaming state to the first gaming state when the bonus ending condition is satisfied in the bonus gaming state. In this manner, the bonus gaming state ends when the bonus end condition is satisfied in the bonus gaming state. In the present embodiment, the bonus end condition is satisfied when the number of medals paid out in the bonus gaming state exceeds a specified number. It should be noted that the number of medals paid out in the bonus game state includes not the number of medals actually paid out from the medal payout opening 22 but the number of medals added as credits, and is given to the player in the bonus game state. This is equivalent to the number of medals given.

  Next, an effect state that can be executed as one of the game effects in the slot machine 10 and a transition state of the effect state will be described. There are a plurality of production states. Then, in the slot machine 10, one of a plurality of types of effect states is executed.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the effect states in the present embodiment include a normal effect state, a preparation effect state, a first advantageous effect state, a second advantageous effect state, a third advantageous effect state, and There is an advantageous effect state including a fourth advantageous effect state, and a bonus effect state. That is, the effect states in the present embodiment include a normal effect state, a preparation effect state, a first advantageous effect state, a second advantageous effect state, a third advantageous effect state, a fourth advantageous effect state, and a bonus effect state. There is. In the present embodiment, the first advantageous effect state, the second advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state, and the fourth advantageous effect state correspond to the advantageous state. In the present embodiment, the second advantageous effect state corresponds to an advantageous effect state that branches to the first advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state, and the fourth advantageous effect state. In the present embodiment, the first advantage effect state, the third advantage effect state, and the fourth advantage effect state have the highest advantage degree in the third advantage effect state, and the first advantage effect state. The state has the least advantage.

  In each effect state, effect state identification information capable of identifying the effect state during the stay (the effect state controlled) is reported. In the slot machine 10, for example, a different background image is displayed on the effect display device 15 for each type of effect state, the decorative lamp 13 is illuminated with a different emission color for each type of effect state, or for each type of effect state. By outputting different music to the speaker 14, the effect state identification information is reported. Therefore, the player can recognize the effect state during the stay from the background image displayed on the effect display device 15, the emission color of the decorative lamp 13, the music output from the speaker 14, and the like.

  The normal effect state is an effect state in which the user usually stays in the first game state. In addition, the preparation effect state is an effect state in which the user stays mainly in the first game state. The advantageous effect state is an effect state in which the user stays mainly in the second game state. The bonus effect state is an effect state in which the player stays in the bonus game state.

  In the slot machine 10, for example, an operation-related effect (hereinafter, referred to as a navigation effect) for notifying an operation mode (operation timing or operation order) of a stop button for stopping a symbol combination in which a prize is determined on the activated line NL. Is executed. The navigation effect is also called an operation navigation effect (operation navigation) or a push order navigation effect (push order navigation). Then, in the slot machine 10, the ratio at which the navigation effect is executed with the advantageous contents for the player is higher in the advantageous effect state than in the normal effect state. For this reason, the advantageous effect state can be said to be an advantageous effect state more advantageous than the normal effect state. The advantageous effect state is a so-called “assist time (AT)”.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the advantageous permissive condition is satisfied during the stay in the normal effect state, the process shifts to the ready effect state. Further, when the advantageous start condition is satisfied during the stay in the preparation effect state, the state shifts to the advantageous effect state. Further, when the advantageous end condition is satisfied during staying in the advantageous effect state, the state shifts to the normal effect state.

  In addition, when a bonus combination is won in an effect state other than the bonus effect state, the state shifts to the bonus effect state. Then, when the bonus end condition is satisfied in the bonus effect state, the state shifts to an effect state other than the bonus effect state. Specifically, if the effect state before the transition to the bonus effect state is the normal effect state, and the bonus end condition is satisfied in the bonus effect state, the process proceeds to the normal effect state. In addition, when the effect state before shifting to the bonus effect state is the preparatory effect state or the advantageous effect state, when the bonus end condition is satisfied in the bonus effect state, the operation shifts to the preparatory effect state.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the first advantageous effect state is shifted to any one of the normal effect state, the second advantageous effect state, and the third advantageous effect state. The first advantageous effect state is divided into a plurality of periods including a first period, a second period, and a third period. The first period is a second period, and the second period is a third period. Become. Note that the first, second, and third periods in the first advantageous effect state will be described later.

  In addition, the state shifts from the second advantageous effect state to any one of the first advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state, and the fourth advantageous effect state. Thus, after the second advantageous effect state, the effect state is controlled to be different from the second advantageous effect state.

  Further, the state shifts from the third advantageous effect state to the first advantageous effect state. Thus, after the third advantageous effect state, the first advantageous effect state is controlled. Further, the state shifts from the fourth advantageous effect state to the first advantageous effect state. In this way, after the fourth advantageous effect state, the first advantageous effect state is controlled. It should be noted that specific transition modes in the first advantageous effect state, the second advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state, and the fourth advantageous effect state will be described later.

  The main control ROM 40b stores a main control program, a lottery table used for a lottery process performed by the main control CPU 40a, and the like. Further, the main control RAM 40c can store various information rewritten during the operation of the slot machine 10, such as the credits described above. The information stored in the main control RAM 40c is, for example, a flag, a counter, a timer, and the like.

  The main board 40 is configured to be able to generate random numbers used for a predetermined lottery process. The random number may be generated as a hardware random number, for example, by including a random number generation circuit that updates a value each time a clock signal is input. In addition to or in place of this, the random number may be generated as a software random number, for example, by the main control CPU 40a performing a random number update process of updating a value at each predetermined control cycle.

  Here, among the lottery tables stored in the main control ROM 40b, the winning lottery table used for the internal lottery for determining the winning number from among a plurality of winning numbers and the above-mentioned winning number will be described.

  Note that the internal lottery for determining the winning number is equivalent to a “role lottery”. The winning number determined in the role lottery is also called a condition device combination. For this reason, it can be said that the role lottery is “condition device combination lottery”. Further, in the following description, "the predetermined winning number is determined by the role drawing" is indicated as "the predetermined number is won by the role drawing", or the "winning determined by the role drawing" is described. The "number" may be referred to as a "winned winning number".

  The winning number is control information in which one or more symbol combinations are determined as symbol combinations that can be derived (displayed) in the variable game. That is, the winning number is a condition device identifier in which one or a plurality of winning combinations are determined as winning combinations in the variable game.

  The winning numbers include, for example, a winning number that is normally allowed to win the role of cherry, a winning number that is allowed to win the special cherry, a winning number that is allowed to win the watermelon, and a winning of bell. The winning number includes a winning number, a winning number in which the winning of the bonus combination is permitted, and a winning number in which the winning of the replaying combination is permitted.

  Among the winning numbers in the slot machine 10, among the winning numbers in which the winning of the bell role is permitted, there are the winning numbers in which the winning of the single role is permitted in addition to the bell role. The winning numbers in which the winning of the bell role and the one-piece role are permitted are different in the operation order of the stop button for winning the bell role and the operating order of the stop button for the winning of the single role. It is included. For example, if a stop button is operated in a predetermined operation order in the winning numbers in which the winning of the bell role and the one-piece winning are permitted, the bell role wins while an operation different from the predetermined operation order is performed. When the stop button is operated in the order, the winning number at which one winning combination is won is included.

  Among the winning numbers in the slot machine 10, the winning numbers for which the winning of the replaying game is permitted include the winning numbers for which the winning of the normal replaying game and the promotion replaying game are allowed. Such winning numbers in which the winning of the normal re-gaming role and the promotion re-gaming role are allowed include the operation order of the stop button for winning the normal re-gaming role and the stop button for winning the promotion re-gaming role. And the winning order is different. For example, if the stop button is operated in a predetermined operation order in the winning numbers in which the winning of the normal re-gaming role and the promotion re-gaming role are allowed, the promotion re-gaming role wins while the predetermined operation is performed. When the stop button is operated in an operation order different from the order, the winning number at which the normal replay combination wins is included.

  By the way, the winning number in which the winning of the bonus role is allowed may not be the winning number in which the winning of only the bonus role is allowed among a plurality of roles, for example, the winning number in which the winning of the cherry role and the bonus role is allowed. The winning number may be a number or a winning combination of a re-playing part and a bonus part. In the slot machine 10, when the winning of the bonus combination is permitted and the prize of another payout or replay is permitted, the winning of the other payout or replay is prioritized, and the winning of the bonus Will be carried over to the next and subsequent floating games.

  In the following description, the case where the winning of the normal cherry role is accepted in the role drawing is referred to as "the case where the normal cherry winning is permitted", and the lottery result of the role drawing is "normal cherry role". Is a lottery result that allows the winning of "". In addition, when the winning of the special cherry is won in the role drawing, the case where the winning of the special cherry is accepted is indicated as “when the winning of the special cherry is allowed”, and the lottery result of the role drawing is `` the winning of the special cherry is won ''. This is equivalent to “allowable lottery results”. In addition, when the winning of the watermelon role is won in the winning lottery, the case where the winning of the watermelon role is accepted is indicated as “when the winning of the watermelon role is allowed”, and the lottery result of the role drawing is “lottery that allows the winning of the watermelon role” Result ".

  Similarly, the case where the winning of the Bell role is accepted in the role drawing is indicated as “if the winning of the Bell role is permitted”, and the lottery result of the role drawing is “Allow the winning of the Bell role”. This is equivalent to “lottery result”. In addition, a case where the winning of the bonus role is permitted in the role drawing is indicated as “a case where the winning of the bonus role is permitted”, and the lottery result of the role drawing is “a lottery permitting the winning of the bonus role”. Result ". In addition, the case where the winning number of the re-gaming combination is allowed in the winning lottery is indicated as “if the winning of the re-gaming role is permitted”, and the lottery result of the role drawing is “ This is equivalent to “allowable lottery results”.

  In the slot machine 10, the role lottery tables include a first role lottery table to a fourth role lottery table. The first combination lottery table is used in the combination lottery when being controlled to the first game state. The second combination lottery table is used in the combination lottery when controlled to the second game state. The third combination lottery table is used in the combination lottery when the third game state is controlled. The fourth combination lottery table is used in the combination lottery when the bonus game state is controlled.

  In the role lottery table, the value of the random number used for the role lottery (hereinafter, referred to as the role random number for lottery) for the winning number that can be determined is a numerical value within a range that can be taken as the value of the random number for the role lottery. Are sorted out by a predetermined number from among them.

  In the fourth role lottery table, the random number for the role lottery is set so as to increase the probability of adding the determination rate of the winning number in which the winning of the bell role is permitted as compared with the first role lottery table to the third role lottery table. The values are sorted. Thus, in the bonus game state, the winning of the bell combination is more easily permitted than in the game states other than the bonus game state.

  In this embodiment, even if any of the first to fourth combination lottery tables is used, in the combination lottery, a winning number that normally allows the winning of the Cherry combination is won in the combination lottery. The probability of winning is lower than the winning probability of winning the watermelon role in the role drawing. In this embodiment, even if any of the first to fourth combination lottery tables is used, the winning number for which the special cherry combination winning is permitted in the combination lottery is won. The probability of winning is lower than the winning probability at which the winning of the normal Cherry role is permitted in the role drawing.

  In the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, when no winning number is won in the winning lottery, that is, when winning of the winning is not permitted, the lottery result of the winning lottery is “out”. Then, when the lottery result of the role lottery is out of order, the symbol combination in which the prize is determined is not derived based on the lottery result of the role lottery. However, when the winning of the bonus combination is permitted (when it is permitted to derive the bonus stop), and when the lottery result of the role lottery is out, the bonus stop can be derived. (The winning of the bonus role becomes possible).

  In the slot machine 10, when it is permitted to derive the bonus stop, if the lottery result of the winning lottery is incorrect, a stop operation position at which the bonus stop can be derived (hereinafter, referred to as a bonus stop position). ), The reels 16a to 16c are stopped so that the bonus stop is derived. On the other hand, in the slot machine 10, when it is permitted to derive the bonus stop, if the lottery result of the winning combination is incorrect, a stop operation position different from the bonus stop position (hereinafter, referred to as a non-bonus stop position). Then, when the stop buttons 21a to 21c are operated, the reels 16a to 16c are stopped so as to derive a stop where no prize is determined.

Next, the sub-substrate 41 will be described in detail.
The sub-board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a, a sub-control ROM 41b, and a sub-control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a executes a process related to the effect based on the sub-control program.

  The sub board 41 is connected to the effect display device 15. The sub-controlling CPU 41a is configured to be able to control the display mode of the effect display device 15. The sub-board 41 is connected to the decorative lamp 13. The sub-controlling CPU 41a is configured to be able to control the lighting mode (light emitting mode) of the decorative lamp 13. The sub-board 41 is connected to the speaker 14. The sub-controlling CPU 41a is configured to be able to control the output mode of the speaker 14.

  The sub-control ROM 41b stores a sub-control program, a lottery table used for a lottery process performed by the sub-control CPU 41a, and the like. The sub-control ROM 41b stores a display effect pattern that can specify the mode (contents) of the effect on the effect display device 15, and display effect data used to execute the effect on the effect display device 15. The sub-control ROM 41b stores a light-emitting effect pattern capable of specifying the mode (contents) of the effect on the decorative lamp 13 and light-emitting effect data used for executing the effect on the decorative lamp 13. The sub-control ROM 41b stores a sound effect pattern capable of specifying the mode (contents) of the effect on the speaker 14 and sound effect data used for executing the effect on the speaker 14.

  The sub-control RAM 41c can store various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the slot machine 10. The information stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is, for example, a flag, a counter, a timer, and the like. Similar to the main board 40, the sub board 41 is configured to be able to generate random numbers used for a predetermined lottery process as hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Hereinafter, a process related to the variable game executed by the main control CPU 40a of the main board 40 based on the main control program will be described.
When receiving an operation signal indicating that the operation has been performed from various buttons or the like, the main control CPU 40a executes predetermined control defined by the operation signal. Then, the main control CPU 40a executes display control of the information panel 30 each time by inputting various operation signals and various controls. When paying out medals, the main control CPU 40a controls the hopper unit so as to discharge medals when the number of credits exceeds the upper limit. Note that the main control CPU 40a controls the hopper unit so as to discharge medals for credits at the time of credit settlement.

  Then, when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 17 or an operation signal is input from the bet button 18, the main control CPU 40a sets the bet amount. When the bet amount is set, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as a bet amount setting command) capable of specifying that the bet amount has been set to the sub-control CPU 41a.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits according to the operation of the bet button 18. When increasing the number of credits by inserting medals, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits. Then, by setting the number of bets that can start the fluctuating game, the fluctuating game startable condition for starting the fluctuating game is satisfied.

  Subsequently, when an operation signal is input from the start lever 20 in a state where the game can be started, the main control CPU 40a performs a winning lottery. The main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the random number for the role lottery, and performs the role lottery based on the value of the random number for the role lottery with reference to the role lottery table corresponding to the gaming state. In this way, the winning lottery is performed upon the start operation. In the present embodiment, the function as the role lottery means for performing the role lottery is realized by performing the role lottery by the main control CPU 40a.

  Then, when the winning number is won by the lottery, the main control CPU 40a stores winning information that can specify the winning number in the main controlling RAM 40c. Further, when the winning number is won by the lottery, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as a winning command) capable of specifying the winning number to the sub-control CPU 41a.

  When the bonus flag is not set in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a sets the bonus flag in the main control RAM 40c when the winning number that allows the winning of the bonus combination is won. On the other hand, when the bonus flag is already set in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a does not newly set the bonus flag in the main control RAM 40c even if the winning number that allows the winning of the bonus combination is won. .

  The main control CPU 40a deletes the winning information stored in the main control RAM 40c when the fluctuation game ends. Incidentally, when the bonus flag is set, the main control CPU 40a does not delete the bonus flag when the variable game ends, but deletes the bonus flag when the game mode shifts to the bonus game state.

  In addition, the main control CPU 40a controls the rotation of each of the reels 16a to 16c to be started when an operation signal is input from the start lever 20, and starts a fluctuating game. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a variable game start command indicating the lottery result of the winning lottery to the sub-control CPU 41a. The main control CPU 40a controls the reels 16a to 16c to start rotating when the shortest game time has elapsed.

  Subsequently, upon input of an operation signal from the stop button, the main control CPU 40a performs control (stop control) for stopping rotation of the reel corresponding to the operation signal. The main control CPU 40a grasps information on the rotation position and the stop position of each reel based on the position signal from the reel sensor corresponding to each of the reels 16a to 16c. That is, the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to specify the rotation state of each reel being rotated, while specifying the stop state of each stopped reel to the main control CPU 40a.

Next, the stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a stops the rotation of each reel within a predetermined range (for example, up to four symbols) from the timing when each stop button is operated based on the lottery result of the winning lottery, and stops the symbol combination ( Derive game results). When stopping each spinning reel, the main control CPU 40a determines the stop control data stored in the main control ROM 40b according to the lottery result of the winning combination lottery and the operation sequence and operation timing of the stop button. , The rotation of the reels is stopped to stop the symbol combination. The main control CPU 40a may perform stop control using different stop control data depending on the operation sequence and operation timing of the stop button, even if the lottery results of the role lottery are the same.

  When the bonus flag is set in the main control RAM 40c and the lottery result of the winning lottery is out, the main control CPU 40a sets the active line NL when the stop button is operated at the bonus stop position. The rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped so as to derive the bonus stop. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a is activated when the bonus flag is set in the main control RAM 40c and the lottery result of the winning combination lottery is out, and when the stop button is operated at the non-bonus stop position. The rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped so as to derive the slip stop on the line NL. In addition, when the bonus flag is not set in the main control RAM 40c and the lottery result of the role lottery is off, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the active line NL regardless of the operation timing of the stop button. The rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is stopped so as to derive the stop.

  Subsequently, when the rotation of all the reels 16a to 16c is stopped, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination. In the winning determination, when the symbol combination stopped on the activated line NL is a symbol combination permitted to be stopped on the activated line NL, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning of the symbol combination. On the other hand, in the winning determination, when determining the winning of the symbol combination (combination) permitted to stop on the activated line NL, the main control CPU 40a performs control for giving the prize determined to the symbol combination.

  For example, when determining the winning of the payout combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for giving a prize medal. In addition, the main control CPU 40a performs control for giving a re-game when determining a winning of a re-game combination. As the control for giving the replay, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet amount as the variable game in which the winning is determined. When determining the winning of the symbol combination (role), the main control CPU 40a outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as a winning instruction command) indicating the symbol combination determined to be a winning to the sub-control CPU 41a.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a controls the transition of the gaming state.
The main control CPU 40a shifts the game state by updating the game state information stored in the main control RAM 40c. For example, when game state information capable of specifying the first game state is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a changes the game state information stored in the main control RAM 40c to the second game state. The game state is shifted from the first game state to the second game state by updating to the game state information that can be specified.

  When the promoted re-gaming wins in the first gaming state, the main control CPU 40a updates the second gaming state to identifiable gaming state information, and controls the second gaming state. Thereby, the gaming state shifts from the first gaming state to the second gaming state. Further, when one winning combination is won in the second game state, the main control CPU 40a updates the first game state to game state information that can be specified, and controls the first game state to the first game state. Thereby, the gaming state shifts from the second gaming state to the first gaming state.

  The main control CPU 40a updates the third game state to identifiable game state information when the bonus combination does not win in the variable game in which the bonus flag is set in the first game state or the second game state. Control to play state. As a result, the gaming state shifts from the first gaming state or the second gaming state to the third gaming state. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a updates the bonus game state to identifiable game state information when the bonus combination is won in the variable game in which the bonus flag is set in the first game state or the second game state. To control. This causes a transition from the first gaming state or the second gaming state to the bonus gaming state, and a bonus gaming state is generated. Further, when the bonus combination is won in the third gaming state, the main control CPU 40a updates the bonus gaming state to game state information that can be specified, and controls the bonus gaming state. Thereby, the gaming state shifts from the third gaming state to the bonus gaming state, and the bonus gaming state is generated.

  When the bonus end condition is satisfied in the bonus gaming state, the main control CPU 40a updates the first gaming state to game state information that can be specified, and controls the first gaming state. Thereby, the gaming state shifts from the bonus gaming state to the first gaming state, and the bonus gaming state ends.

  When the main control CPU 40a updates the game state information in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as a game state command) capable of instructing the updated game state to the sub-control CPU 41a.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a controls the transition of the effect state.
The main control CPU 40a shifts the effect state by updating the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c. For example, the production state information that can specify the normal production state is stored in the main control RAM 40c, and the preparation state is controlled to the production state information by updating the preparation state to the production state information that can specify the preparation state. Transition from the normal production state to the preparation production state. It should be noted that a specific description of the transition state of the effect state will be described later.

  When the main control CPU 40a updates the effect state information in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as effect state command) capable of indicating the updated effect state to the sub-control CPU 41a.

  Further, when in the advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning number in which a part of the plurality of stop button operation orders is defined as the stop button operation order for winning the bell role. If the player wins, the operation order of the stop button for winning the bell combination is notified. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a causes the payout display unit to display information capable of specifying the operation sequence of the stop button for winning the bell combination.

  Further, in the advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a operates the stop button for winning the promoted re-gaming combination when the winning number of the normal re-gaming combination and the promotion re-gaming combination is allowed. Announce order. When notifying the operation order of the stop button, the main control CPU 40a outputs control information (hereinafter, referred to as an operation mode command) capable of specifying the operation order (operation mode) of the notified stop button to the sub-control CPU 41a. .

  Control information (control commands and control signals) output from the main control CPU 40a to the sub control CPU 41a is set in an output buffer in the main board 40. Thereafter, in an output process performed by the main control CPU 40a at a predetermined control cycle, control information set in the output buffer is output from an output port in the main board 40. The control information output from the output port is input from an input port in the sub board 41 and stored in the storage unit in the sub board 41. Then, in the reading process performed by the sub-control CPU 41a at a predetermined control cycle, the control information set in the storage unit in the sub-substrate 41 is read, and the control information is input to the sub-control CPU 41a. Therefore, in this specification, "the main control CPU 40a outputs control information to the sub-control CPU 41a" means that the main control CPU 40a sets control information in an output buffer in the main board 40 and outputs the control information. Outputting the control information set in the buffer from the output port by the output process. Similarly, “the sub-controlling CPU 41a inputs control information” means that the control information set in the storage unit in the sub-substrate 41 is read out by the reading process and the control information is input. Note that the storage unit in the sub-board 41 may be the sub-control RAM 41c, or may be a storage unit such as a register different from the sub-control RAM 41c.

Next, a description will be given of a process related to the variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs various control information of the fluctuating game start command and the winning instruction command, the display mode and decoration of the effect display device 15 are configured to execute various effects based on the content specified by the control information. The light emission mode of the lamp 13 and the output mode of the speaker 14 are controlled. If the winning control command is not input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a recognizes that the symbol combination for which no prize has been determined has stopped on the activated line NL.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the game state command, the sub-control CPU 41a stores sub-game state information indicating the game state under control of the main control CPU 40a in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the effect state command, the sub-effect state information indicating the effect state under control of the main control CPU 40a is stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Then, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls an effect state that can be specified from the auxiliary effect state information.

  Upon input of the operation mode command, the sub-controlling CPU 41a executes a navigation effect for notifying the operation mode of the stop button that can be specified from the operation mode command. Specifically, when being controlled to the preparation effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the effect display device 15 to display information that can specify the operation mode of the stop button that can be specified from the operation mode command, and executes the navigation effect. Let it. When controlled to the advantageous effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the effect display device 15 to display information that can specify the operation mode of the stop button that can be specified from the operation mode command, and causes the navigation effect to be executed.

Further, the slot machine 10 is configured to be able to accumulate (hereinafter, referred to as “stock”) that the control to the advantageous effect state is permitted.

  In the slot machine 10, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock lottery and determines whether or not to permit the control to the advantageous effect state. In the present embodiment, while it is determined that the control to the advantageous effect state by winning the stock lottery is permitted, it is determined that the control to the advantageous effect state by not winning the stock lottery is not permitted. You. Therefore, in the present embodiment, winning the stock lottery corresponds to a lottery result that can specify that it is determined to control to an advantageous state among the lottery results of the control lottery. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, non-winning of the stock lottery corresponds to a lottery result that can specify that it is not determined to control to the advantageous state among the lottery results of the control lottery.

  In addition, when it is determined that the control to the advantageous effect state is permitted in the stock lottery, the state is controlled to the advantageous effect state later. For this reason, deciding that the control to the advantageous effect state is permitted in the stock lottery corresponds to deciding to control to the advantageous effect state. Therefore, the winning probability of the stock lottery in the present embodiment corresponds to the probability of being controlled to the advantageous effect state or the probability of determining to control to the advantageous effect state. Further, in the present embodiment, the stock lottery corresponds to a control lottery that determines to control to an advantageous state. In the present embodiment, the function as the control lottery means is realized by the stock lottery being performed by the main control CPU 40a.

  Note that the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to perform a stock lottery in all effect states, and the stock lottery is performed based on at least one of the effect state and the lottery result of the role lottery.

  When the stock lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock type lottery. As will be described later in detail, in the present embodiment, the type of lottery is controlled to a type of advantageous effect state according to the lottery result of the type of lottery of the stock. . In the present embodiment, the stock type lottery corresponds to the type lottery for determining the type of the advantageous state. In the present embodiment, the function as the type lottery means is realized by the type lottery of the stock being performed by the main control CPU 40a. In the present embodiment, since the stock type lottery is performed when the stock lottery is won, the main control CPU 40a can specify that the lottery result of the control lottery is determined to be controlled to be in an advantageous state. If the result is a lottery result, it is understood that a type lottery is performed.

  In addition, in the stock type lottery, the type of the advantageous effect state to be controlled among the plurality of types of advantageous effect states is determined. In the present embodiment, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is: It can also be said that it is a determination rate of some advantageous effect states among a plurality of advantageous effect states. Further, in the present embodiment, the determination mode of determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery can be said to be a determination rate of a predetermined advantageous effect state among a plurality of types of advantageous effect states.

  The main control CPU 40a stores stock information capable of specifying the lottery result of the stock type lottery in the main control RAM 40c. The main control RAM 40c is configured to be able to store a plurality of pieces of stock information. The stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c so that the storage order can be specified.

  In the slot machine 10, the lottery results of the stock type lottery include a first result, a second result, and a third result. In the slot machine 10, the stock information includes first stock information, second stock information, and third stock information. When the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the first result, the first stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c. When the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the second result, the second stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c. When the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the third result, third stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c. In the present embodiment, stock information that can specify the lottery result of the stock type lottery corresponds to advantageous information that can specify the lottery result of the type lottery. In the present embodiment, a function as an information storage unit is realized by the main control RAM 40c capable of storing stock information corresponding to advantageous information.

  In the slot machine 10, when the winning of the special cherry combination is allowed in the lottery, it is determined that the stock lottery is not performed and the control to the advantageous effect state is permitted in any of the effecting states. You. In other words, in the slot machine 10, when the winning of the special cherry combination is permitted in the winning lottery, it is determined that the stock lottery is not performed and the advantageous effect state is controlled regardless of the effect state. Then, in the present embodiment, when the winning of the special cherry combination is permitted in the combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a performs the stock type lottery without performing the stock lottery.

First, the winning probability of the stock lottery will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 6A, when the lottery result of the winning combination is a result of allowing the winning of the bonus combination, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock lottery with a winning probability of 4%. As described above, when the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the role lottery, the stock lottery is won with a probability of 4% irrespective of the production state (shown in the drawing as common to all production states).

  As shown in FIG. 6B, while staying in the normal effect state, if the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result that allows the winning of the normal cherry role, the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning probability is 10%.

Type of lottery. In this way, if the winning of the special cherry combination is permitted in the role lottery, the stock type lottery is performed with a 50% probability regardless of the production state (in the drawing, it is indicated as common to all the production states). The second stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c with a probability of 50%.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, when the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the combination lottery, the main control CPU 40a sets the first result with the probability of 89.6%, the second result with the probability of 10%, and 0 with the probability of 10%. A stock type lottery with the third result is performed with a probability of .4%. In this way, when the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the role lottery, the stock type lottery is performed with a probability of 89.6%, the first stock information is generated with a probability of 89.6%, and the probability is increased with the probability of 10% regardless of the production state. The second stock information and the third stock information are stored in the main control RAM 40c with a probability of 0.4%.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, while staying in the normal effect state or the second advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a outputs the first result with a probability of 94.9%, the second result with a probability of 5%, With the probability of 0.1%, a stock type lottery as the third result is performed. As described above, if the stock type lottery is performed while staying in the normal effect state or the second advantageous effect state, the first stock information has a probability of 94.9%, the second stock information has a probability of 5%, and 0. The third stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c with a probability of .1%.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (d), the main control CPU 40a operates during the stay in any of the preparatory effect state, the first period in the first advantageous effect state, and the third period in the first advantageous effect state. A stock type lottery is performed in which the first result is obtained at a probability of 0.6%, the second result is obtained at a probability of 10%, and the third result is obtained at a probability of 0.4%. As described above, if the stock type lottery is performed during any of the preparation effect state, the first period in the first advantageous effect state, and the third period in the first advantageous effect state, 89.6% The first stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c at a probability of 10%, the second stock information at a probability of 10%, and the third stock information at a probability of 0.4%.

  As shown in FIG. 7E, while staying in the second period in the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a has a first result with a probability of 79.8%, a second result with a probability of 20%, With a probability of 0.2%, a stock type lottery as the third result is performed. As described above, when the stock type lottery is performed during the stay of the second period in the first advantageous effect state, the first stock information has a probability of 79.8%, the second stock information has a probability of 20%, and 0. The third stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c with a probability of .2%.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (f), while staying in the bonus effect state, the main control CPU 40a sets the first result at a probability of 88.6%, the second result at a probability of 10.2%, and the 1.2% at a probability of 1.2%. A stock type lottery that has a third result with probability is performed. As described above, if the stock type lottery is performed while staying in the bonus effect state, the first stock information has a probability of 88.6%, the second stock information has a probability of 10.2%, and the probability of 1.2% Then, the third stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (g), while staying in the third advantageous effect state or the fourth advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines that the normal lottery winning is permitted in the lottery drawing by 97.3. The stock type lottery which has the first result with the probability of% and the second result with the probability of 2.7% is performed. In addition, while staying in the third advantageous effect state or the fourth advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a has a probability of 98.8% that the first result, 1 A stock type lottery as a second result is performed with a probability of 1%. In this way, if the normal lottery winning is permitted in the role lottery while staying in the third advantageous effect state or the fourth advantageous effect state, a 97.3% probability is obtained when the stock type lottery is performed. Then, the second stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c with a probability of 2.7%. In addition, while staying in the third advantageous effect state or the fourth advantageous effect state, if the winning of the watermelon role is permitted in the role lottery, if the stock type lottery is performed, the 1st probability is 98.8%. The stock information, the second stock information with a probability of 1.2%, is stored in the main control RAM 40c. As described above, during the stay in the third advantageous effect state and during the stay in the fourth advantageous effect state, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is the same.

  In the present embodiment, when the lottery result of the role lottery is one of “the lottery result permitting the winning of the special cherry role” and “the lottery result permitting the winning of the bonus role”, the lottery result of the role lottery is predetermined. Corresponds to the result of the lottery. Therefore, when the lottery result of the role lottery is not the predetermined lottery result, the lottery result of the role lottery may be any of "a lottery result allowing a special cherry winning" and a "lotting result allowing a bonus role winning". Equivalent when not. In the following description, when the lottery result of the role lottery is one of “a lottery result permitting the winning of the special cherry role” and “a lottery result permitting the winning of the bonus role”, the lottery result of the role lottery is determined. May be indicated as the result of the lottery. Similarly, when the lottery result of the role lottery is neither “the lottery result allowing the winning of the special cherry role” nor “the lottery result allowing the winning of the bonus role”, the lottery result of the role lottery is the predetermined lottery result. It may be indicated when it is not.

  As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, when the lottery result of the role lottery is a predetermined lottery result, the state (the type of the effect state and the first advantageous state) when the stock type lottery is performed. In the effect state, even if the type of the first period, the second period, or the third period is different), the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is the same. Further, as shown in FIGS. 7C to 7G, when the lottery result of the role lottery is not a predetermined lottery result, the state when the stock type lottery is performed (the type of the effect state, the first state, and the like). Depending on the type of the first stage, the second period, or the third period in the advantageous effect state), the manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery differs.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (g), while staying in the third advantageous effect state or the fourth advantageous effect state, the winning of the normal cherry role and the winning of the watermelon role in the lottery are allowed. In this case, the manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is different. That is, while staying in the third advantageous effect state or the fourth advantageous effect state, if the lottery result of the role lottery is not the predetermined lottery result, the type of the advantageous effect state is determined according to the lottery result of the role lottery. The decision mode is different. For this reason, while staying in the third advantageous effect state and while staying in the fourth advantageous effect state, if the lottery result of the role lottery is not the predetermined lottery result, the determination mode of determining the type of the advantageous state in the type lottery Corresponds to a first state that differs depending on the lottery result of the role lottery.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 7C to 7F, a normal effect state, a first advantageous effect state (first period, second period, third period), a second advantageous effect state, and a bonus effect state In any of the states, when the lottery result of the role lottery is not the predetermined lottery result, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is the same even when the lottery result of the role lottery is different. . Therefore, while staying in the normal effect state, while staying in the first advantageous effect state (first period, second period, third period), staying in the second advantageous effect state, and staying in the bonus effect state In the case where the lottery result of the role lottery is not the predetermined lottery result, the mode of determining the type of the advantageous state in the type lottery corresponds to the second state that is the same even when the lottery results of the role lottery are different.

  As shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7G, the manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state (the advantageous state) in the stock type lottery in the present embodiment differs depending on the lottery result of the role lottery. . Further, as shown in FIGS. 7C to 7G, in the stock type lottery according to the present embodiment, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state (advantageous state) is the state when the stock type lottery is performed. (The type of the effect state, and whether it is the first period, the second period, or the third period in the first advantageous effect state).

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 7D and 7E, in the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific advantageous state, in the first period and the second period, the stock type lottery is performed. The determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state is different. Similarly, in the first advantageous effect state, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery differs between the second period and the third period. Further, in the first advantageous effect state, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is the same between the first period and the third period.

  Here, the transition mode of the normal effect state, the preparation effect state, the bonus effect state, and the advantageous effect state (the first advantageous effect state, the second advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state, the fourth advantageous effect state) The control performed by the main control CPU 40a and the sub control CPU 41a in the normal effect state, the preparation effect state, the bonus effect state, and the advantageous effect state will be described.

First, the control performed by the main control CPU 40a and the sub-control CPU 41a in the normal effect state and the mode of transition from the normal effect state to another effect state will be described.
When storing the stock information in the main control RAM 40c when the stock information is not stored in the normal effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines the number of precursors. That is, the main control CPU 40a determines the number of precursors when the stock lottery is won. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a determines the number of precursors by lottery from “1 to 32 times”. When determining the number of precursors, the main control CPU 40a stores information capable of specifying the number of precursors (hereinafter, referred to as precursory frequency information) in the main control RAM 40c.

  In the normal effect state, if the number of times that can be specified from the precursor count information stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a triggers the precursor count information when the variable game is executed. Is subtracted from the identifiable number of times, and the number after the subtraction is updated to identifiable precursor number information.

  Then, when the number of times that can be specified from the updated precursor number information reaches “0”, the main control CPU 40a specifies the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c and specifies the preparation effect state. Update to possible production state information. Thereby, it shifts from a normal production state to a preparation production state.

  If the number of times that can be specified from the precursor count information is 1 or more, the stock lottery is won, and the stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c. Therefore, the condition in which the number of times that can be specified from the updated precursor count information reaches “0” means that the stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c (ie, the stock lottery has been won) and the precursor count information It can also be said that the number of times that can be specified from is "0". Therefore, in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the advantageous allowable condition is satisfied when the stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c and when the number of times that can be specified from the precursor frequency information is “0”. I do.

  In addition, when the bonus combination is won in the normal effect state, the main control CPU 40a updates the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c to effect state information capable of specifying the bonus effect state. Thereby, the state is shifted from the normal effect state to the bonus effect state. Note that when shifting to the bonus effect state, the main control CPU 40a deletes the precursor frequency information if the precursor frequency information is stored in the main control RAM 40c.

  In the normal effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock lottery shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b). In the normal effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock type lottery shown in FIGS. 7 (a), 7 (b) and 7 (c).

  In addition, in the normal production state, when the sub control CPU 41a specifies that the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the lottery, the winning of the bonus combination is permitted after the predetermined number of variable games are played. The display content of the effect display device 15 is controlled so as to execute a notification effect of notifying (notifying) the information. Note that the number of times of the variable game from the time when the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the normal effect state to the time when the announcement effect is executed may be a predetermined number (fixed number) or may be a predetermined number of times. The number of times (the number of times that can be changed) may be determined by a lottery performed by the CPU 40a or the sub-control CPU 41a.

Next, the control performed by the main control CPU 40a and the sub-control CPU 41a in the preparation effect state and the mode of transition from the preparation effect state to another effect state will be described.
In the preparation effect state, when the promotion re-game combination has won, the transition from the preparation effect state to the advantageous effect state is made.

  In the present embodiment, when shifting to the bonus effect state while being controlled to the advantageous effect state, information (hereinafter referred to as interruption information) that can specify that the advantageous effect state has been interrupted is stored in the main control RAM 40c. It is memorized. The interruption information in the present embodiment includes first interruption information, second interruption information, third interruption information, and fourth interruption information. The first interruption information is interruption information that can specify that the first advantageous effect state has been interrupted. The second interruption information is interruption information that can specify that the second advantageous effect state has been interrupted. The third interruption information is interruption information that can specify that the third advantageous effect state has been interrupted. The fourth interruption information is interruption information that can specify that the fourth advantageous effect state has been interrupted.

  Then, in the preparation effect state, when the first interruption information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c is triggered by the winning of the promotion re-gaming combination. Is updated to effect state information that can specify the first advantageous effect state. As a result, a transition is made from the preparation effect state to the first advantageous effect state. Further, the main control CPU 40a deletes the first interruption information stored in the main control RAM 40c. When controlling to the first advantageous effect state when the first interruption information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a controls to the first advantageous effect state before the interruption, and Resumes the advantageous production state.

  Further, in the preparation effect state, when the second interruption information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a activates the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c at the time of the winning of the promotion re-gaming. Is updated to effect state information that can specify the second advantageous effect state. As a result, a transition is made from the preparation effect state to the second advantageous effect state. Further, the main control CPU 40a deletes the second interruption information stored in the main control RAM 40c. When controlling to the second advantageous effect state when the second interruption information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a controls to the second advantageous effect state before interruption, Resumes the advantageous production state.

  In addition, in the preparation effect state, when the third interruption information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a starts the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c at the time of the winning of the promotion re-game combination. Is updated to effect state information that can specify the third advantageous effect state. Thereby, the state is shifted from the preparation effect state to the third advantageous effect state. Further, the main control CPU 40a deletes the third interruption information stored in the main control RAM 40c. When controlling to the third advantageous effect state when the third interruption information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a controls to the third advantageous effect state before interruption, Resumes the advantageous production state.

  In addition, in the preparation effect state, when the fourth interruption information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c is triggered by the winning of the promotion re-game combination. Is updated to effect state information that can specify the fourth advantageous effect state. As a result, a transition is made from the preparation effect state to the fourth advantageous effect state. Further, the main control CPU 40a deletes the fourth interruption information stored in the main control RAM 40c. When controlling to the fourth advantageous effect state when the fourth interruption information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a controls to the fourth advantageous effect state before interruption, Resumes the advantageous production state.

  In addition, in the preparation effect state, when the interruption information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a triggers the most prize of the stock information stored in the main control RAM 40c at the time of the winning of the promotion re-game combination. Based on the stock information whose storage order is old, it is controlled to the advantageous effect state. As described above, when the main control CPU 40a stores the stock information corresponding to the advantageous information in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a controls the state of the advantageous effect (the advantageous state) based on the stock information. In the present embodiment, there may be a case where the advantageous effect state is controlled based on the stock information with the end of the preparatory effect state. In the following description, "stock information stored in the main control RAM 40c in the oldest storage order" is referred to as "stock information stored first."

  As shown in FIG. 8A, in the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines that the interruption information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c, and the stock information stored first is the first stock information. In the case of, when the winning of the promotion re-game combination is triggered, the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c is updated to the effect state information capable of specifying the first advantageous effect state. As a result, a transition is made from the preparation effect state to the first advantageous effect state. As described above, in the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a promotes the promotion when the interruption information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c and the stock information stored first is the first stock information. At the time of the winning of the gaming combination, the first advantageous effect state is controlled.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, in the preparation effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines that the interruption information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c, and the stock information stored first is the second stock information. In the case of, the prize of the promotion re-game combination triggers the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c to be updated to the effect state information capable of specifying the fourth advantageous effect state. As a result, a transition is made from the preparation effect state to the fourth advantageous effect state. Incidentally, in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the end of the fourth advantageous effect state, the slot machine 10 is controlled to the first advantageous effect state. As described above, in the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a promotes the promotion when the interruption information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c and the stock information stored first is the second stock information. The game is controlled to the fourth advantageous effect state upon the winning of the gaming combination.

  As shown in FIG. 8C, although described in detail later, even when the second stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the second advantageous effect is not in the fourth advantageous effect state but in the second advantageous effect state. The state may be controlled. Incidentally, in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the end of the second advantageous effect state, the slot machine 10 changes to any of the first advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state, and the fourth advantageous effect state. Controlled. In the slot machine 10, after the end of the third advantageous effect state, the state is controlled to the first advantageous effect state. Further, as described above, in the slot machine 10, after the fourth advantageous effect state ends, the slot machine 10 is controlled to the first advantageous effect state.

  By the way, the case where the interruption information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c in the preparation effect state is the case where the normal effect state is shifted to the preparation effect state via the bonus effect state, and the case where the normal effect state is shifted to the preparation effect state. Or a transition. Therefore, the situation in which the state is controlled to the advantageous effect state based on the stock information in the preparation effect state is assumed to be such that the stock information is stored in the effect state that is not the advantageous effect state.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 8B, the advantageous effect state controlled when the stock type lottery performed in the normal effect state is the second result is the fourth advantageous effect state. . On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8C, the advantageous effect state controlled when the stock type lottery performed in the advantageous effect state is the second result is the second advantageous effect state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the type of the advantageous effect state controlled when the lottery result of the stock type lottery performed in the normal effect state corresponding to the first state is the second result, The type of the advantageous effect state controlled when the lottery result of the stock type lottery performed in the advantageous effect state corresponding to the two states is the second result is different. In the present embodiment, the stock type lottery corresponds to a specific lottery different from the role lottery, and a function as a specific lottery means is realized by the stock type lottery corresponding to the specific lottery being performed by the main control CPU 40a. Is done. As described above, the lottery results of the stock type lottery in the present embodiment include the first result, the second result, and the third result. From this, it is understood that the lottery results of the stock type lottery corresponding to the specific lottery include three or more types of lottery results including the second result corresponding to the specific lottery result.

  In addition, as described above, after the second advantageous effect state ends, the state may be controlled to the fourth advantageous effect state. Therefore, after the end of the second advantageous effect state, which is controlled in response to the fact that the stock type random determination performed in the advantageous effect state is the second result, the stock type random determination performed in the normal effect state is performed. It can be seen that the control is switched to the fourth advantageous effect state, which is controlled with the result of the second result. In this case, the second advantageous effect state corresponds to a first type of second state, and the second advantageous effect state corresponds to a second type of second state. The first advantageous effect state, the second advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state, and the fourth advantageous effect state each correspond to a second state. The fourth advantageous effect state is the first type of second state, the second advantageous effect state is the second type of advantageous effect state, the first advantageous effect state is the third type of advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state. The advantageous effect states correspond to the fourth type of advantageous effect states, respectively. Further, the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the second state, the second advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state, and the fourth advantageous effect state are compared with the normal effect state corresponding to the first state. It can be seen that this is an advantageous state.

  As shown in FIG. 8D, in the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines that the interruption information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c, and the stock information stored first is the third stock information. In the case of, the prize of the promotion re-game combination triggers the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c to be updated to the effect state information capable of specifying the third advantageous effect state. Thereby, the state is shifted from the preparation effect state to the third advantageous effect state. Incidentally, as described above, the slot machine 10 is controlled to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the third advantageous effect state. As described above, in the preparatory effect state, the main control CPU 40a promotes re-promotion when the interruption information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c and the stock information stored first is the third stock information. The third advantageous effect state is controlled upon the winning of the gaming combination.

  As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8D, when the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the first result or the third result different from the second result, the stock type lottery is performed. Regardless of whether the effect state is the normal effect state or the advantageous effect state, the type of the advantageous effect state controlled according to the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the same. That is, the type of the advantageous effect state controlled when the lottery result of the stock type lottery performed in the normal effect state corresponding to the first state is the first result or the third result, and the second state The type of the advantageous effect state controlled when the lottery result of the stock type lottery performed in the corresponding advantageous effect state is the first result or the third result is the same. In the present embodiment, among the lottery results of the stock type lottery corresponding to the specific lottery, the second result corresponds to a specific lottery result, and the first result and the third result each correspond to a non-specific lottery result.

  Further, when the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the first result or the third result different from the second result, control is performed to a different type of advantageous effect state than when the stock type lottery is the second result. Is done. For example, as shown in FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8D, the type of the advantageous effect state controlled when the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the first result or the third result. The type of the advantageous effect state controlled when the lottery result of the stock type lottery performed in the normal effect state is the second result is different. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8A, 8C, and 8D, the type of the advantageous effect state controlled when the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the first result or the third result. The type of the advantageous effect state controlled when the lottery result of the stock type lottery performed in the advantageous effect state is the second result is different.

  As described above, the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment shifts to the advantageous effect state when the promoted re-gaming wins in the preparatory effect state. Therefore, in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, it can be seen that the advantageous start condition is satisfied when the promoted re-combination wins in the preparation effect state.

  Also, when the bonus combination is won in the preparation effect state, the main control CPU 40a updates the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c to effect state information that can specify the bonus effect state. Thereby, the state is shifted from the preparation effect state to the bonus effect state.

  Further, in the preparation effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock lottery shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (c). Further, in the preparation effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock type lottery shown in FIGS. 7 (a), (b) and (d).

  In addition, in the preparation effect state, when specifying that the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the combination lottery, the sub-controlling CPU 41a executes a notification effect of notifying (notifying) that the winning of the bonus combination is permitted. The display contents of the effect display device 15 are controlled as described above.

Next, the control performed by the main control CPU 40a and the sub-control CPU 41a in the bonus effect state and the mode of transition from the bonus effect state to another effect state will be described.
When the bonus end condition is satisfied in the bonus effect state, the state shifts to the normal effect state or the preparation effect state.

  In the bonus effect state, the main control CPU 40a counts the number of medals paid out after the bonus effect state. Then, when the number of medals paid out after the bonus effect state is exceeded exceeds the number that satisfies the bonus ending condition, the main control CPU 40a can specify that the bonus ending condition has been satisfied.

  When the interruption information is stored in the main control RAM 40c in the bonus effect state, the main control CPU 40a prepares the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c when the bonus end condition is satisfied. The production state is updated to the production state information that can be specified. Thereby, the state is shifted from the bonus effect state to the preparation effect state.

  Further, in the bonus effect state, when the stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a changes the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c when the bonus end condition is satisfied. Then, the preparation effect status is updated to effect condition information that can be specified. Thereby, the state is shifted from the bonus effect state to the preparation effect state.

  In the bonus effect state, when neither the interruption information nor the stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a stores the interruption information and the stock information in the main control RAM 40c when the bonus end condition is satisfied. The present effect state information is updated to effect state information capable of specifying the normal effect state. Thereby, the state is shifted from the bonus effect state to the normal effect state.

  In the bonus effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock lottery shown in FIG. 6 (h). Further, in the bonus effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock type lottery shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (f).

  In addition, in the bonus effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a performs an effect of notifying the number of medals paid out after the bonus effect state or the increase / decrease number of medals after the bonus effect state. The display content of the effect display device 15 is controlled.

  Next, the first advantageous effect state, the control performed by the main control CPU 40a and the control performed by the sub-control CPU 41a in the first advantageous effect state, and the transition from the first advantageous effect state to another effect state Embodiments will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific advantageous state is divided into a plurality of periods including a first period, a second period, and a third period. Then, in the first advantageous effect state, the second period follows the first period, and the third period follows the second period.

  After the first advantageous effect state is established, at least the first period is performed until the “three times” variable game, which is the minimum number of stays in the first period, is executed. In the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a sends control information (hereinafter, referred to as a first period start command) capable of specifying that the first period has started, when the first period has started. Output to the control CPU 41a.

  Further, after the minimum stay count variation game is executed in the first period, the main control CPU 40a performs a continuous lottery in the first period when the variation game is executed. Then, when a continuous lottery in the first period is won, the first period is continued. On the other hand, if the continuous lottery in the first period is not won, the first period ends. Then, when the first period ends, the second period starts.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, when the continuous lottery in the first period is won, the first period is continued. Therefore, the first period is extended by winning the continuous lottery in the first period. That is, by winning the continuous lottery in the first period, the period that is the first period is extended. In the present embodiment, the function as the first period continuous lottery means is realized by the main control CPU 40a performing the continuous lottery for the first period. In the present embodiment, the lottery result that wins the continuous lottery in the first period corresponds to “lottery result indicating that the first period is continued”, and the lottery result that does not win the continuous lottery in the first period is “ Lottery result indicating that the first period is not continued ".

  Also, in the first period, the main control CPU 40a performs an initial second period lottery when the variable game is executed. In the initial second period lottery, the number of times is determined according to the lottery result of the role lottery. In the present embodiment, the total number of times determined in the initial second period lottery performed each time the fluctuation game is executed in the first period is the number of fluctuation games that is at least the second period.

  In the present embodiment, for example, in the first period of the first advantageous effect state, when the lottery result of the role lottery is out of order, the main control CPU 40a performs 10 times with a probability of 78%, 20 times with a probability of 20%, An initial second period lottery for determining 30 times with a probability of 1% and 50 times with a probability of 1% is performed. In the present embodiment, for example, in the first period of the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a determines that the lottery result of the role lottery is 88.9% when the lottery result that allows the winning of the special cherry role is obtained. In the initial second period, the lottery is determined 30 times with a probability of 10 times, 50 times with a probability of 10%, 100 times with a probability of 1%, and 200 times with a probability of 0.1%.

  The main control RAM 40c stores information (hereinafter, referred to as first stay number information) capable of specifying the number of times of the variable game in the second period. When performing the initial second period lottery, the main control CPU 40a reduces the number of times determined in the initial second period lottery to the number of times that can be specified from the first stay number information stored in the main control RAM 40c. The number of times of addition is updated to the first number-of-stays information that can specify the number of times after the addition. In the first advantageous effect state, when the main control CPU 40a performs the initial second period lottery, the main control CPU 40a specifies control information (hereinafter referred to as an initial second period command) that can specify the lottery result of the initial second period lottery. ) Is output to the sub control CPU 41a.

  In the present embodiment, the initial second period is determined based on the lottery result of the initial second period lottery performed in the first period. Therefore, the initial second period lottery corresponds to the first process for determining the initial second period. In the present embodiment, the function as the first processing unit is realized by the main control CPU 40a performing the lottery in the initial second period. Further, when the number of times is determined in the initial second period lottery, the number of times that can be specified from the first stay number information increases, so that the number of times is determined by the initial second period lottery is the first time. It can be said that it is determined to extend the controllable period to the advantageous effect state.

  Then, if the continuous lottery in the first period is not won, the main control CPU 40a sets the second period. As described above, in the first advantageous effect state, the first period ends and the second period starts when the continuous lottery in the first period is not won. In the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a sends control information (hereinafter, referred to as a second period start command) capable of specifying that the second period has started, in response to the second period. Output to the control CPU 41a. In the present embodiment, since the second period starts after the first period ends, the second period start command can be said to be control information that can specify that the first period has ended. The main control CPU 40a performs control for shifting from the first period to the second period.

  In the second period, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the number of times that can be specified from the first stay count information stored in the main control RAM 40c when the variable game is executed, and The first stay count information that can specify the count is updated. When the number of times that can be specified from the updated first stay number information reaches “0 (zero)”, the main control CPU 40a sets the third period. As described above, in the first advantageous effect state, the number of times that can be specified from the updated first stay number information has reached “0 (zero)”, that is, the number of times determined by the main control CPU 40a. The second period ends and the third period starts when the variable game is played in the second period.

  In the second period, the main control CPU 40a is configured to be able to perform an additional lottery in the second period. In the additional lottery in the second period, the number of times is determined according to the lottery result of the role lottery. Further, the additional lottery in the second period is performed when the lottery result of the role lottery is a part of a plurality of types of lottery results. Specifically, in the second period, the main control CPU 40a determines that the lottery result of the combination lottery is “a lottery result permitting the special cherry winning”, “a lottery result permitting the normal cherry winning”, “ If any of the lottery results permitting a prize and the lottery result permitting the winning of a bonus combination is selected, an additional lottery is performed in the second period.

  In the present embodiment, for example, in the second period, when the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result that allows the winning of the watermelon role, the main control CPU 40a performs 0 times with a probability of 87.9% and a probability of 4% 20 times with 4% probability, 30 times with 3% probability, 50 times with 1% probability, and 100 times with 0.1% probability. In the present embodiment, for example, in the second period, when the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result that allows winning of the special cherry role in the second period, the main control CPU 40a has 39.9 times with a probability of 50%, 39.9. An additional lottery in the second period, in which 20 times are determined with a probability of 30%, 30 times with a probability of 5%, and 50 times with a probability of 5%, and 100 times with a probability of 0.1%.

  When the number of times of addition in the additional lottery in the second period is determined to be one or more, the main control CPU 40a sets the number of times determined in the additional lottery in the second period to the first number of stays stored in the main control RAM 40c. The information is added to the number of times that can be specified from the information, and the number after the addition is updated to the first number of times of stay that can be specified. In the first advantageous effect state, when performing the additional lottery in the second period, the main control CPU 40a determines the lottery result of the additional lottery in the second period (hereinafter, referred to as an additional command during the second period). ) Is output to the sub control CPU 41a.

  As shown in FIG. 9 (c), when one or more times are determined in the additional lottery in the second period, the number of times that can be specified from the first stay number information is increased. Will be extended. That is, by determining one or more times in the additional lottery in the second period, the period to be the second period becomes longer. Further, extending the second period in the first advantageous effect state corresponds to extending the period controlled in the first advantageous effect state. That is, an increase in the period that is the second period in the first advantageous effect state corresponds to an increase in the period controlled in the first advantageous effect state.

  In the present embodiment, one or more times determined in the additional lottery performed in the second period performed in the second period is added to the number of times that can be specified from the first stay number information, so that the second period is reduced. Will be extended. Therefore, a process of extending the second period by performing an additional lottery in the second period and adding the number of times determined in the additional lottery in the second period to the number of times that can be specified from the first stay count information, This corresponds to a second process for extending two periods. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a performs an additional lottery in the second period, and adds the number determined in the additional lottery in the second period to the number of times that can be specified from the first stay number information. By performing the process of extending the second period, the function as the second processing unit is realized.

  As described above, since the first period is extended when the continuous lottery of the first period is won, the period during which the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the first advantageous state can be controlled (the 1 advantage period) is extended. In addition, since the second period is extended when the initial second period lottery is performed, as a result, the period that can be controlled to the first advantageous effect state is extended. In addition, since the second period is extended when one or more times are determined in the additional lottery in the second period, the period in which the first advantageous effect state can be controlled is extended as a result. That is, in the present embodiment, winning in the continuous lottery in the first period, determining the number of times in the initial second period lottery, and determining one or more times in the additional lottery in the second period. Is determined to extend the first advantageous period that can be controlled to the first advantageous state. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when being controlled to the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs the continuous lottery in the first period, the initial second period lottery, and the additional lottery in the second period. And a function as extension determining means for determining to extend the first advantageous period that can be controlled to the first advantageous state. In this manner, the main control CPU 40a that realizes the function as the extension determining means can control the first advantageous effect state when the main advantageous CPU 40a is controlled to the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the first advantageous state. It is possible to determine to extend the period (first advantageous period).

  In addition, the first period can be continued in response to the winning of the continuous lottery of the first period, or the first stay number information can be set according to the result of the initial second period lottery or the additional lottery of the second period. When the main control CPU 40a performs the updating process, the period in which the first advantageous effect state can be controlled is extended, and a function as an extension unit that can extend the first advantageous period is realized.

  As described above, when the number of times that can be specified from the updated first stay number information has reached “0 (zero)”, the second period ends and the third period ends. In the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a sends control information (hereinafter, referred to as a third period start command) capable of specifying that the third period has started, in response to the third period. Output to the control CPU 41a. In the present embodiment, since the third period starts after the second period ends, the third period start command can be said to be control information that can specify that the second period has ended. The main control CPU 40a performs control for shifting from the second period to the third period.

  In the present embodiment, the third period is performed until a predetermined number of times (five times in this embodiment) of the variable game is executed. As described above, in the present embodiment, the third period ends when the predetermined number of variable games have been played since the third period. As described above, the periods of the first period and the second period change according to the lottery results of various lotteries, while the period of the third period is fixed. Then, when the predetermined number of change games are executed in the third period, the third period ends, and the first advantageous effect state for one time ends. In the present embodiment, the second period in the first advantageous effect state tends to be longer than the first and third periods in the first advantageous effect state. In other words, in the present embodiment, the first period and the third period in the first advantageous effect state tend to be shorter than the second period in the first advantageous effect state. For this reason, the ratio occupied by the second period in the period controlled to the first advantageous effect state tends to be the largest.

  In the third period, when the stock information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a performs a continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state. In the continuous lottery of the first advantageous effect state, it is determined whether to control the first advantageous effect state again. Specifically, when the continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state is won, it is determined that the control is returned to the first advantageous effect state. On the other hand, when the continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state is not won, it is not determined to control the first advantageous effect state again.

  In the third period, when the stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a, based on the stock information stored first, after the end of the first advantageous effect state during stay, The type of the advantageous effect state to be controlled is specified.

  At this time, when the stock information stored first is the first stock information, the main control CPU 40a determines that the first advantageous effect state during the stay is controlled again to the first advantageous effect state after the end. Identify. In addition, when the stock information stored first is the second stock information, the main control CPU 40a specifies that the control is performed to the second advantageous effect state after the end of the first advantageous effect state during the stay. . When the stock information stored first is the third stock information, the main control CPU 40a specifies that the state is controlled to the third advantageous effect state after the end of the first advantageous effect state during stay.

  Then, in the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a supplies control information (hereinafter, referred to as a first continuation result command) capable of specifying an effect state to be controlled after the first advantageous effect state ends, to the sub-control CPU 41a. Output to Specifically, when the main control CPU 40a does not win the continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state, the first continuation result that can specify that the normal advantageous state is controlled after the end of the first advantageous effect state. The command is output to the sub control CPU 41a. Further, when the main control CPU 40a wins the continuous lottery of the first advantageous effect state, the first continuation result which can specify that the first advantageous effect state is controlled to be controlled after the end of the first advantageous effect state. The command is output to the sub control CPU 41a. Further, when the first stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a can specify that the first advantageous effect state is controlled to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the first advantageous effect state. The continuation result command is output to the sub control CPU 41a. Further, when the second stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a can specify that the main control CPU 40a is to be controlled to the second advantageous effect state after the end of the first advantageous effect state. The continuation result command is output to the sub control CPU 41a. Further, when the third stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a can specify the first advantageous effect state to be controlled to the third advantageous effect state after the end of the first advantageous effect state. The continuation result command is output to the sub control CPU 41a.

  Further, when the continuous drawing of the first advantageous effect state is won, after the first advantageous effect state ends, the main control CPU 40a transmits the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c to the first advantageous effect state. The production state is updated to the production state information that can be specified. As a result, the main control CPU 40a controls again to the first advantageous effect state.

  In the present embodiment, when the first advantageous effect state is controlled again to the first advantageous effect state even after the end, the effect state information is updated. However, since the effect state information before and after the update is the same, the effect state information is the same. If the effect state information to be updated is already stored, the effect state information need not be updated. In this way, when the main control CPU 40a wins the continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a controls the first advantageous effect state again from the first period.

  On the other hand, when the continuous drawing of the first advantageous effect state is not won, after the first advantageous effect state ends, the main control CPU 40a changes the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c to the normal effect state. Is updated to the effect state information that can be specified. In this way, when the main control CPU 40a does not win the continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a controls the normal effect state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when stock information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c, and when the continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state is not won, the advantageous end condition is satisfied.

  In the present embodiment, the continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state corresponds to the continuous lottery in the specific advantageous state. In the present embodiment, the function as the specific advantageous continuation lottery means is realized by the main control CPU 40a performing the continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state. Note that, in the present embodiment, the lottery result that wins the continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state corresponds to “the lottery result indicating that the specific advantageous state is continued”, and the lottery result in the first advantageous effect state is not selected. The lottery result to be won corresponds to "a lottery result indicating that the specific advantageous state is not continued".

  Also, when the stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c when the third period is reached, and when the stock information stored first is the first stock information, the first advantageous effect state is set. After the end of the process, the main control CPU 40a updates the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c to effect state information that can specify the first advantageous effect state. As a result, the main control CPU 40a controls again to the first advantageous effect state.

  Also, when the stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c when the third period is reached, and when the stock information stored first is the second stock information, the first advantageous effect state is set. After the end of the process, the main control CPU 40a updates the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c to effect state information that can specify the second advantageous effect state. As a result, the main control CPU 40a controls to the second advantageous effect state.

In the present embodiment, the first advantageous effect state may be controlled to the advantageous effect state based on the stock information with the end of the first advantageous effect state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the stock information among the continuous lottery in the first advantageous effect state and the stock information is given priority.

  Further, when the bonus combination is won in the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a converts the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c into effect state information that can specify the bonus effect state. Update. Thereby, the state is shifted from the first advantageous effect state to the bonus effect state. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores the first interruption information in the main control RAM 40c.

  In the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock lottery shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (d). In the first advantageous effect state, the main control CPU 40a performs the stock type lottery shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7D during the first period and the third period. During the second period, the stock type lottery shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7E is performed. As shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7D, and 7E, in the stock type lottery performed in the first advantageous effect state, the lottery result may be the third result. In the present embodiment, the third advantageous effect state is controlled based on the third stock information stored when the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the third result. Therefore, in the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, when being controlled to the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the first advantageous state, it is determined to control to the third advantageous effect state corresponding to the second advantageous state. It is possible. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 40a performs a stock type lottery, thereby realizing a function as a control determining unit that determines to control to the second advantageous state.

  When the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the third result, the third stock information is stored in the main control RAM 40c. Then, the lottery result of the stock type lottery performed when the first advantageous effect state is controlled is the third result, and the third stock information stored based on the third result is the earliest. In the case of the stock information, after the first advantageous effect state ends, the state is controlled to the third advantageous effect state based on the third stock information. Further, as described above, after the end of the third advantageous effect state, the state is controlled to the first advantageous effect state. As described above, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the stock type lottery is to be performed to control the third advantageous effect state while the first advantageous effect state is being controlled, the main control CPU 40a performs control. After the end of the first advantageous effect state, the control is switched to the third advantageous effect state, and after the end of the third advantageous effect state, it is possible to control to the first advantageous effect state.

In the first advantageous effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the following control.

I do. Specifically, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the display contents of the effect display device 15 so as to execute an effect of notifying the number of times that can be specified from the additional command input during the second period.

  In the third period of the first advantageous effect state, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 15 so as to execute the continuation result effect. In the continuation result effect, the continuation result effect is executed over a predetermined number of change games corresponding to the third period, and the result is derived in the last change game in the third period.

  The result derived in the continuation result effect includes a result that can specify that the control is continuously performed to the first advantageous effect state even after the end of the first advantageous game state. In addition, the result derived in the continuation result effect includes a result that can specify that the first advantageous effect state ends and shifts to the normal effect state, that is, that the advantageous effect state ends. . Further, the result derived in the continuation result effect includes a result that can specify that the first advantageous effect state is controlled to be different from the first advantageous effect state after the end of the first advantageous effect state.

  Then, when the sub-controlling CPU 41a can specify from the input first continuation result command that the first advantageous effect state is to be controlled after the first advantageous effect state ends, the first advantageous effect state ends. The display content of the effect display device 15 is controlled so that a result that can be specified to be continuously controlled to the first advantageous effect state is derived in the continuous result effect. In the present embodiment, the control for deriving a result that can be specified to be controlled to the first advantageous effect state continuously after the end of the first advantageous effect state is performed after the end of the controlled specific advantageous state. Also corresponds to a third process for deriving a result that can specify that the control is continuously performed to the specific advantageous state. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a performs control to derive a result that can specify that the first advantageous effect state is to be continuously controlled after the end of the first advantageous effect state. Thereby, the function as the third processing means is realized.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a can specify from the input first continuation result command that the control is to be performed in the normal effect state after the end of the first advantageous effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a can specify that the advantageous effect state ends. The display content of the effect display device 15 is controlled so that the result is derived in the continuous result effect. In the present embodiment, a result that can specify that the advantageous effect state ends is equivalent to a result that can specify that the advantageous state ends.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a can specify from the input first continuation result command that the first advantageous effect state is controlled to be different from the first advantageous effect state after the end of the first advantageous effect state, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether the first advantageous effect state is different from the first advantageous effect state. The display content of the effect display device 15 is controlled so that a result that can specify the advantageous effect state controlled after the end of the advantageous effect state is derived in the continuous result effect. For example, if the sub-control CPU 41a can specify from the input first continuation result command that the first advantageous effect state is to be controlled to the second advantageous effect state after the end, the first advantageous effect state ends. The display content of the effect display device 15 is controlled so that a result that can be specified to be controlled to the second advantageous effect state later is derived in the continuous result effect. In the present embodiment, a result that can specify that the advantageous effect state ends, and a result that can specify that the first advantageous state is controlled to be different from the first advantageous state after the first advantageous state ends. Corresponds to a result that can specify that the state is controlled to an advantageous state other than the specific advantageous state after the controlled specific advantageous state ends.

In the present embodiment, when the first mode is set, the mode may be switched to the second mode or the third mode. When the mode is the second mode, the mode may be switched to the third mode, but is not switched to the first mode. When the mode is the third mode, the mode is not switched, and the mode is not switched to the first mode or the second mode.

  The main control CPU 40a determines an initial mode upon transition from another effect state to the second advantageous effect state. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a performs a lottery to determine an initial mode from among the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode, and determines the initial mode.

  The main control RAM 40c stores information capable of specifying a mode in the second advantageous effect state (hereinafter, referred to as mode information). In the present embodiment, the mode information that can specify the mode in the second advantageous effect state corresponds to the step information that can specify the step in the specific state. By storing the mode information in the main control RAM 40c, a function as storage means for storing step information capable of specifying a step in a specific state is realized.

When the initial mode is determined, the main control CPU 40a stores mode information capable of specifying the determined mode in the main control RAM 40c.
In addition, when the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result that enables mode switching, the main control CPU 40a performs a switching lottery in which mode switching can be determined. Specifically, in the first mode, when the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result that allows the mode to be switched, the main control CPU 40a selects the mode from the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode. A switching lottery to determine When the first mode is determined in the switching lottery performed in such a first mode, the mode is not switched. On the other hand, if a mode other than the first mode (the second mode or the third mode in the present embodiment) is determined in the switching lottery performed in the first mode, the mode is switched.

Do. If the second mode is determined in the switching lottery performed in such a second mode, the mode is not switched. On the other hand, when a mode other than the second mode (the third mode in the present embodiment) is determined in the switching lottery performed in the second mode, the mode is switched.

  In the third mode, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the switching lottery even if the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result that enables mode switching. Therefore, when the mode in the second advantageous effect state is the third mode, the mode is not switched. Incidentally, in the third mode, when the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result that enables the mode to be switched, the main control CPU 40a may perform a switching lottery for determining the third mode. Even in such a case, when the mode in the second advantageous effect state is the third mode, the mode can be configured not to be switched.

  When the switching lottery is performed, the main control CPU 40a updates the mode information stored in the main control RAM 40c to mode information that can specify the mode determined by the switching lottery. Thus, for example, when the mode information capable of specifying the first mode is stored in the main control RAM 40c, and when the second mode is determined by the switching lottery, the mode information indicates the mode capable of specifying the second mode. The information is updated, and the mode is switched from the first mode to the second mode.

Then, it is controlled to an advantageous effect state different from the second advantageous effect state.

  Specifically, when the first mode can be specified from the mode information, the main control CPU 40a determines that the number of times of the variable game that can be specified from the updated second stay number information corresponds to the number of stays in the first mode. It is determined whether or not "10 times" has been reached. Then, when the number of variable games that can be specified from the updated second stay number information has reached “10 times”, the main control CPU 40a outputs the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c, The first advantageous effect state is updated to the effect state information that can be specified. As a result, the effect state transitions from the second advantageous effect state to the first advantageous effect state, and is controlled to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the second advantageous effect state.

  Further, when the second mode can be specified from the mode information, the main control CPU 40a determines that the number of times of the variable game that can be specified from the updated second stay number information is “20 times” corresponding to the number of stays in the second mode. Is determined. Then, when the number of variable games that can be specified from the updated second stay number information has reached “20 times”, the main control CPU 40a outputs the effect state information stored in the main control RAM 40c. The fourth advantageous effect state is updated to the effect state information that can be specified. As a result, the effect state transitions from the second advantageous effect state to the fourth advantageous effect state, and is controlled to the fourth advantageous effect state after the end of the second advantageous effect state.

At this time, the period in which the second advantageous effect state is controlled is a period from the time when the second advantageous effect state is set to the time when the fluctuation game is executed ten times.

  In addition, when the mode when the second advantageous effect state ends is the second mode, after the second advantageous effect state ends, the state is controlled to the fourth advantageous effect state. At this time, the period in which the second advantageous effect state is controlled is a period from when the second advantageous effect state is reached to when the fluctuating game is executed 20 times. Incidentally, after the end of the fourth advantageous effect state, the state is controlled to the first advantageous effect state.

  When the mode at the time when the second advantageous effect state ends is the third mode, the state is controlled to the third advantageous effect state after the end of the second advantageous effect state. At this time, the period in which the second advantageous effect state is controlled is a period from the time when the second advantageous effect state is set to the time when the fluctuation game is executed 34 times. Incidentally, after the end of the third advantageous effect state, the state is controlled to the first advantageous effect state.

Next, the flow of the first, second, and third periods in the first advantageous effect state will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 18, in the first period in the first advantageous effect state, a continuous lottery in the first period is performed. Then, the first period is extended every time the continuous lottery in the first period is won, and ends when the continuous lottery in the first period is not won. In the first advantageous effect state, when the first period ends, the second period starts. When the first period is extended by winning the continuous lottery of the first period, the period that can be controlled to the first advantageous effect state including the first period is extended.

  In the first period in the first advantageous effect state, an initial second period lottery is performed. Each time the number of times is determined in the initial second period lottery, the second period after the first period is extended. Further, when the first period is extended by winning the continuous lottery in the first period, the number of times the initial second period lottery is performed increases, and as a result, the second period is likely to be longer. .

  In the second period in the first advantageous effect state, an additional lottery is performed in the second period. When one or more times are determined in the additional lottery in the second period, the second period is extended. In addition, if the second period is extended by determining one or more times in the second additional lottery, the period that can be controlled to the first advantageous effect state including the second period is extended.

Even if it is done, the probability that each result is derived in the stock type lottery is the same. In the present embodiment, the stock type lottery corresponds to determining the type of the advantageous effect state (advantageous state) to be controlled. For this reason, when the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result that allows the winning of the special cherry role, the time is controlled to any of the second advantageous effect state and the third advantageous effect state. Also, the manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is the same.

  Further, when the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result allowing the winning of the bonus role, even if the lottery result is controlled to any of the second advantageous effect state and the third advantageous effect state, The probability that each result is derived in the stock type lottery is the same. That is, when the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result that allows the winning of the bonus role, even if the lottery result is controlled to any of the second advantageous effect state and the third advantageous effect state, The manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is the same.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 19B and 19C, when the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result allowing the winning of the normal cherry role, when the lottery result is controlled to the second advantageous effect state, The determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is different when controlled to the advantageous effect state of No. 3. Similarly, in a case where the lottery result of the role lottery is a lottery result that allows the winning of the watermelon role, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery when controlled to the second advantageous effect state And a determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery when being controlled to the third advantageous effect state.

  As described above, when the lottery result of the role lottery is different from the “lottery result permitting the winning of the special cherry” and the “lottery result permitting the winning of the bonus role”, the second advantageous effect state Depending on which of the third advantageous effect states is controlled (depending on the state), the manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery differs.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19B, when the second advantageous effect state is established, the lottery result of the role lottery is “a lottery result permitting the normal cherry winning” and “a lottery permitting the watermelon winning”. Regardless of the lottery result among the "results", the probability that each result is derived in the stock type lottery is the same. That is, in the second advantageous effect state, the lottery result of the role lottery is any one of the "lottery result allowing the normal cherry winning" and the "lotting result allowing the watermelon winning". However, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is the same.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19C, when the third advantageous effect state is established, the lottery result of the role lottery is “a lottery result permitting the normal cherry winning” and “a lottery permitting the watermelon winning”. Depending on which of the "results", the probability that each result is derived in the stock type lottery differs. That is, in the third advantageous effect state, the lottery result of the role lottery is any one of the "lottery result permitting the normal cherry winning" and the "lottery result permitting the watermelon winning". The determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery differs depending on the type.

  As described above, when controlled to the second advantageous effect state, the lottery result of the role lottery is different from the “lottery result allowing the winning of the special cherry role” and the “lotting result allowing the winning of the bonus role”. Even when the result is a lottery result, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is the same. On the other hand, when the third advantageous effect state is controlled, the lottery result of the role lottery is different from the "lottery result allowing the winning of the special cherry role" and the "lotting result allowing the winning of the bonus role". , The manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery differs depending on the lottery result of the role lottery.

The slot machine 10 of the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When being controlled to the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the first advantageous state, extending the period controllable to the first advantageous effect state (first advantageous period) is the first advantageous period. It is determined by a continuous lottery, an initial second period lottery, and an additional lottery in the second period. For this reason, when it is controlled to the first advantageous effect state, attention can be paid to the fact that it is determined that the period that can be controlled to the first advantageous effect state is extended, and the interest can be improved. .

  Further, after the end of the third advantageous effect state corresponding to the second advantageous state, the state is controlled to the first advantageous effect state. When the third advantageous effect state is controlled as described above, the controllable period (the second advantageous period) of the third advantageous effect state may be extended by an additional lottery of the third advantageous effect state. In addition to the determination, extending the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state controlled after the end of the third advantageous effect state is determined by an additional lottery of the first advantageous effect state. . For this reason, when it is controlled to the third advantageous effect state, in addition to determining that the controllable period is extended to the third advantageous effect state, after the third advantageous effect state ends, Attention is also paid to the fact that it is decided to extend the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state to be controlled, so that the interest can be improved.

  As described above, in any of the first advantageous effect state and the third advantageous effect state, it is expected that the controllable period for the advantageous effect state being controlled is extended, When being controlled to the third advantageous effect state, it is possible to expect that the controllable period for the first advantageous effect state controlled thereafter is extended. In this way, different expectations can be created between the first advantageous effect state and the third advantageous effect state, and the interest can be improved.

  (2) When controlled to the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the first advantageous state, the third advantageous effect state corresponding to the second advantageous state by the stock lottery and the stock type lottery performed by the main control CPU 40a. May be determined to be controlled. Therefore, when the first advantageous effect state is controlled, it can be noticed that it is determined to extend the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state. In addition, the third advantageous effect state can be noted. Attention is paid to the fact that it is determined that the control is performed in the advantageous effect state, so that the interest can be improved.

  (3) After the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the first advantageous state ends, the state is controlled to the third advantageous effect state corresponding to the second advantageous state, and thereafter, after the third advantageous effect state ends, again. The first advantageous effect state is controlled. Such a mode of transition to the advantageous effect state (advantageous state) can further enhance the interest.

  In addition, when it is determined that the control is switched to the third advantageous effect state while staying in the first advantageous effect state, the first advantageous effect state being controlled is stopped and controlled to the third advantageous effect state. In such a case, even if the period in which the control can be performed in the first advantageous effect state is extended, the extension may be useless, and the interest may be reduced. However, if it is determined to control to the third advantageous effect state while staying in the first advantageous effect state, the control is controlled to the third advantageous effect state after the first advantageous effect state ends, and thereafter, After the end of the third advantageous effect state, the first advantageous effect state is controlled again. Thereby, it is possible to suppress that the extended period of time in which the first advantageous effect state can be controlled is wasted and the interest is reduced, and the interest can be effectively improved.

  (4) After the end of the fourth advantageous effect state corresponding to the third advantageous state, the state is controlled to the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the first advantageous state. When being controlled in such a fourth advantageous effect state, it is possible to extend a period (third advantageous period) controllable to the fourth advantageous effect state by adding lots in the fourth advantageous effect state. It is determined. In addition, when being controlled to the fourth advantageous effect state, extending a period (first advantageous period) controllable to the first advantageous effect state controlled after the end of the fourth advantageous effect state. Is determined by an additional lottery in the first advantageous effect state. For this reason, when it is controlled to the fourth advantageous effect state, it is determined that the period controllable to the fourth advantageous effect state is extended, and after the fourth advantageous effect state ends. Attention is also paid to the fact that it is decided to extend the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state to be controlled, so that the interest can be improved.

  Further, in any of the first advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state corresponding to the second advantageous effect state, and the fourth advantageous effect state (advantageous state), the control is switched to the advantageous effect state being controlled. It can be expected that it will be decided to extend the possible period. Further, when the third advantageous effect state or the fourth advantageous effect state is controlled, it is expected that the controllable period is extended to the first advantageous effect state which is controlled thereafter. This makes it possible to create different expectations in each of the first advantageous effect state, the third advantageous effect state, and the fourth advantageous effect state, thereby improving the interest.

  In addition, while the advantageous effect states are different, it is determined that the controllable period is extended to the advantageous effect state under control, and in addition to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the advantageous effect state under control. Since there are a plurality of advantageous effect states in which it can be expected that the controllable period is determined to be extended, variations in the effects are increased and the interest can be effectively improved.

  (5) In the third advantageous effect state (second advantageous state), the degree of advantage associated with extending the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the third advantageous effect state is the fourth advantage state. In the advantageous effect state (third advantageous state), the advantage related to extending the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the fourth advantageous effect state is different. Thereby, it is possible to increase the degree of attention as to which of the third advantageous effect state and the fourth advantageous effect state is controlled, and it is possible to effectively enhance the interest.

  (6) In the third advantageous effect state (the second advantageous state), the advantage associated with extending the controllable period to the third advantageous effect state, and the fourth advantageous effect state (the third advantageous state) ) Is the same as the advantage associated with extending the controllable period to the fourth advantageous effect state. Accordingly, in any of the third advantageous effect state and the fourth advantageous effect state, it can be expected that the controllable period of the controlled advantageous effect state can be similarly extended. .

  Further, the advantage associated with extending the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the controlled advantageous effect state is different between the third advantageous effect state and the fourth advantageous effect state. Thus, it is possible to raise awareness of the difference in the degree of advantage associated with extending the period in which the first advantageous effect state can be controlled. As a result, it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the first advantageous effect state that is not yet controlled, and it is possible to further enhance the interest.

  (7) Even when the lottery result of the stock type lottery (specific lottery) is the second result corresponding to the same specific lottery result, the state in which the second result is derived is the normal effect state (first performance state). State) or the advantageous effect state (second state), the type of the advantageous effect state to be controlled is different. For this reason, not only the lottery result of the stock type lottery, but also the state when the lottery result of the stock type lottery becomes the second result can be improved, and the interest can be improved.

  (8) The lottery results of the stock type lottery (specific lottery) include a first result, a second result, and a third result. As described above, in the stock type lottery, two kinds of lottery results of “winning or non-winning” are not derived, but three or more types of lottery results are derived. For this reason, even when the lottery result of the stock type lottery is not the second result (specific lottery result), attention can be paid to what kind of lottery result other than the second result is, and the interest can be improved. .

  (9) When the lottery result of the stock type lottery (specific lottery) is the second result (specific lottery result), the state in which the second result is derived is the normal effect state (first state) and the advantageous effect state. The type of the advantageous effect state to be controlled differs depending on which of the (second state). On the other hand, when the lottery result of the stock type lottery is different from the second result (the first result or the third result), the state in which the first result or the third result is derived is the normal production state. In any of the advantageous effect states, they are controlled to the same type of advantageous effect state.

  Thereby, in each of the normal effect state and the advantageous effect state, whether the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the second result, or the result of the lottery result of the stock type lottery being different from the second result (non- It is possible to increase the degree of attention as to whether or not a specific lottery result is obtained, thereby improving the interest.

  (10) Even if the lottery result of the stock type lottery (specific lottery) becomes the second result (specific lottery result) in the advantageous effect state corresponding to the second state and is controlled to the second advantageous effect state, Thereafter, in the normal effect state (first state), it is possible to control the fourth advantageous effect state which is controlled when the lottery result of the stock type lottery becomes the second result. As described above, even if the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the second result in the advantageous effect state, the control is performed in the same state as when the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the second result in the normal effect state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lottery result of the stock type lottery from being reduced to the second result, thereby preventing the interest from being reduced.

  (11) For each mode (stage) when the second advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific state ends, an advantageous effect state different from the second advantageous effect state controlled after the end of the second advantageous effect state ( Type). For this reason, the stage when the second advantageous effect state ends is focused on, and the interest can be improved.

  (12) Since the mode (stage) is switched while being controlled to the second advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific state, attention is paid to how the mode is switched after shifting to the second advantageous effect state. It is possible to improve the interest. The mode in the second advantageous effect state is switched according to the lottery result of the role lottery. For this reason, when it is controlled to the second advantageous effect state, it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the lottery result of the role lottery and to improve the interest.

  (13) Since the period controlled in the second advantageous effect state (specific state) differs for each mode (stage), attention is paid to the period controlled in the second advantageous effect state to enhance the interest. Can be planned.

  (14) The mode (stage) in which the advantage degree of the advantageous effect state (non-specific state) other than the second advantageous effect state controlled after the end of the second advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific state is higher (stage). The period during which the second advantageous effect state is controlled is long. Thus, the longer the period controlled in the second advantageous effect state is, the higher the advantage of the advantageous effect state controlled after the end of the second advantageous effect state is. By paying attention to whether or not it is controlled to the effect state, it is possible to improve the interest. Also, since there is a merit that the period during which the mode is controlled to the second advantageous effect state becomes longer as the mode is higher in the mode of advantage, in addition to the improvement of interest in the mode of high advantage, It is possible to improve the interest in the long period of time in which the second advantageous effect state is controlled.

  (15) If the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the lottery drawing while controlling to the second advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific state, the winning of the bonus combination is completed with the end of the second advantageous effect state. Is notified (notifying) that is permitted. For this reason, when being controlled to the second advantageous effect state, even if the winning of the bonus combination is permitted in the role lottery, the notification advantageous effect is not executed and the controlled second advantageous effect state is enjoyed. Can be.

  (16) In the first period in the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific advantageous state, the first process for determining the initial second period is performed, so pay attention to the initial second period. , Can improve the interest. Further, in the second period in the first advantageous effect state, since the second process for extending the second period is performed, attention can be paid to the fact that the second period is extended, and the interest can be improved. . In the third period in the first advantageous effect state, when the first advantageous effect state is continuously controlled after the end of the first advantageous effect state, the controlled first advantageous effect state is controlled. After the end, a third process for continuously deriving a result that can be specified to be controlled to the first advantageous effect state is performed. For this reason, in the third period, attention can be given to whether or not the result is derived, and the interest can be improved.

  As described above, the first advantageous effect state is divided into the first period, the second period, and the third period, and the contents focused on in each period are different from each other, so that the period in the same first advantageous effect state is provided. Interestingness can be improved while suppressing tiredness inside.

  (17) The first period in the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific advantageous state ends when the lottery result of the continuous lottery in the first period is a lottery result indicating that the first period is not continued. For this reason, in the first period in the first advantageous effect state, attention is paid to how long the initial second period is, and also to whether or not the first period is continued, thereby improving interest. Can be planned.

  (18) The third period in the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific advantageous state ends when the predetermined number of times of the fluctuation game are played. In this manner, by securing a period until the predetermined number of times of the variation game is performed as the third period, the first period continues even after the first advantageous effect state ends in the third period. It is possible to secure a period for performing the effect until a result that can be specified to be controlled to the advantageous effect state is derived. For this reason, it is possible to reliably execute the effect in the third period until a result that can specify that the first advantageous effect state is controlled to be continuously controlled even after the end of the first advantageous effect state is derived. It becomes possible, and the interest can be effectively improved in the third period.

  (19) When the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific advantageous state is continuously controlled after the end of the first advantageous effect state, the first advantageous effect state is controlled again from the first period. Therefore, even if the first advantageous effect state is repeatedly controlled, the degree of interest can be improved by repeatedly paying attention to the initial second period in the first period.

  (20) The determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery differs between the first period and the second period in the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific advantageous state. For this reason, in the second period after the first period, it is possible to change the sense of expectation as to which kind of the advantageous effect state (advantageous state) that allows the control is to be set, and Enhancement of interest can be achieved.

  (21) The determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery differs between the second period and the third period in the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the specific advantageous state. For this reason, in the third period after the second period, it is possible to change the sense of expectation as to what kind of advantageous effect state (advantageous state) that allows the control to be performed, Enhancement of interest can be achieved.

  (22) The manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state (advantageous state) in the stock type lottery differs depending on the type of the effect state when the stock type lottery is performed. For this reason, it is possible to change the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery according to the type of the effect state, thereby improving the interest in each effect state while suppressing the tiredness of the game.

  (23) If the lottery result of the role lottery is not the predetermined lottery result (in the above embodiment, “the lottery result allowing the special cherry winning” and “the lottery result allowing the bonus winning”), the first In the third advantageous effect state and the fourth advantageous effect state corresponding to the state, the manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state (advantageous state) differs depending on the lottery result of the role lottery. On the other hand, when the lottery result of the role lottery is not the predetermined lottery result, in the normal effect state corresponding to the second state, the first advantageous effect state, and the second advantageous effect state, the type of the advantageous effect state is determined. The mode is the same even when the lottery results of the role lottery are different. As described above, by determining whether or not to pay attention to the lottery result of the winning lottery when the type of the advantageous effect state is determined depending on the effect state, it is possible to improve the interest while suppressing the tiredness.

  (24) The manner of determining the type of advantageous effect state (advantageous state) in the stock type lottery differs depending on the lottery result of the role lottery. Therefore, the degree of attention to the lottery result of the role lottery can be increased, and the interest can be improved.

  (25) If the lottery result of the role lottery is not a predetermined lottery result (in the above embodiment, “a lottery result allowing a special cherry prize” and “a lottery result allowing a bonus prize”), The manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state (advantageous state) differs depending on the type of the effect state when performing the type lottery. For this reason, by changing the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state according to the type of the effect state, it is possible to improve the interest in each effect state while suppressing the tiredness of the game.

  (26) The stock lottery (control lottery) that determines to control to the advantageous effect state (advantageous state) and the stock type lottery (type lottery) that determines the type of the advantageous effect state are performed by separate lotteries. . This eliminates the need to adjust the probability of not deciding to control to the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery that determines the advantageous effect state type, and thus simply sets the decision rate for each advantageous effect state type. And the adjustment of the determination rate for each type becomes easy.

The embodiment described above may be changed to another embodiment as follows, for example.
-As shown in FIGS. 20 (a) and 20 (b), when the first or third period is in the first advantageous effect state, compared to when the second period is in the first advantageous effect state. Alternatively, the probability that the lottery result of the stock type lottery becomes the second result or the third result may be increased. In the case of such a configuration, of the first period, the second period, and the third period, the first period and the third period that are likely to be shorter than the second period are longer than the first period and the third period. There is a higher probability that a type of advantageous effect state having a higher degree of advantage is determined in the stock type lottery than in the case of two periods. As described above, in the first period and the third period, the probability of determining the type of the advantageous state having the higher degree of advantage in the type lottery may be higher than that in the second period. . In the case of such a configuration, the first period and the third period, which are likely to be shorter than the second period, have an advantage that an advantageous effect state having a high degree of advantage is easily determined by a stock type lottery. Can be suppressed from decreasing the interest due to the shortness of the character, and the interest can be effectively improved. In the first period and the third period, the manner of determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery may be different. At this time, when the period is one of the first period and the third period, as compared with the second period, the probability of determining the type of advantageous effect state having a higher degree of advantage in the stock type lottery is determined. May be higher.

  -In the said embodiment, you may be comprised so that it can determine to control to a 4th advantageous effect state by the kind type lottery of stock when it is controlled to an advantageous effect state. In other words, when being controlled to the first advantageous effect state corresponding to the first advantageous state, it may be possible to determine to control to the fourth advantageous effect state corresponding to the third advantageous state. At this time, it is possible to determine to control to the second advantageous effect state and to determine to control to the fourth advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery when controlled to the advantageous effect state. May be. In such a configuration, the fourth advantageous effect state may be controlled after the end of the first advantageous effect state, so that the variation of the effect increases and the interest can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, the main control CPU 40a may be configured to perform the switching lottery according to the lottery result of the role lottery. For example, the stages may be switched at a probability based on the lottery result of the role lottery. In this configuration, the degree of attention to the lottery result of the role lottery when the state is controlled to the second advantageous effect state can be further improved, and the interest can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, in the first advantageous effect state, when the first period is the second period, even if the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery is the same. Good. Similarly, in the first advantageous effect state, during the second period and during the third period, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery may be the same. Further, in the first advantageous effect state, in any of the first to third periods, the determination mode for determining the type of the advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery may be the same.

  -In the said embodiment, while staying in the 3rd advantageous effect state and staying in the 4th advantageous effect state, the determination mode which determines the type of advantageous effect state in the stock type lottery may be made different. For example, during the stay in the third advantageous effect state, the probability that the advantageous effect state with a high degree of advantage is determined in the stock type lottery may be higher than during the stay in the fourth advantageous effect state. . With this configuration, the advantage of the third advantageous effect state may be higher than the advantage of the fourth advantageous effect state.

  In the above-described embodiment, separately from the stock lottery and the stock type lottery, it is determined to control the advantageous effect state and determine the type of the advantageous effect state that allows the control, but in one lottery, It may be determined to control to the advantageous effect state and to determine the type of the advantageous effect state that allows the control. In the case of such a configuration, the one lottery corresponds to a type lottery. Further, even when it is determined to control to the advantageous effect state in one lottery and to determine the type of the advantageous effect state that allows the control, it is advantageous to determine the type of the advantageous effect state. When deciding to control to the effect state, it corresponds to determining the type of the advantageous effect state.

  -Even if the winning of the special cherry combination is permitted in the combination lottery of the above embodiment, the stock lottery may be performed. At this time, when the winning probability of the special lottery is permitted in the role lottery assuming that the winning probability of the stock lottery is 100%, the control of the special lottery state to the advantageous state is allowed regardless of the state of the lottery. Then, it may be determined, or the winning probability may be less than 100%.

  In the above embodiment, in at least one of the third advantageous effect state and the fourth advantageous effect state, in addition to extending the period in which the advantageous effect state under control can be controlled, the advantageous effect state is extended. You may comprise so that it can determine to extend the period which can be controlled to the 1st advantageous effect state controlled after the end of an effect state. In the case of such a configuration, in addition to extending the period in which the advantageous effect state under control can be controlled between the third advantageous effect state and the fourth advantageous effect state, as described above, The advantageous effect state in which it is possible to determine to extend the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state controlled after the end of the state corresponds to the second advantageous state. And the period which can be controlled to the second advantageous state corresponds to the second advantageous period. Further, in the above-described embodiment, in any of the third advantageous effect state and the fourth advantageous effect, it is not necessary to be configured to be able to determine to extend the period in which the advantageous effect state under control can be controlled. Further, in the above embodiment, in the above embodiment, in any of the third advantageous effect state and the fourth advantageous effect state, a period in which the first advantageous effect state can be controlled to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the controlled advantageous effect state. May not be configured to be able to be determined to be extended. In addition, the first advantageous effect state may not be configured to be controlled after the third advantageous effect state ends, or the first advantageous effect state may be controlled after the fourth advantageous effect state ends. It is not necessary to configure so. If the first advantageous effect state is not controlled after the end of the third advantageous effect state, the stock information is stored if the stock information is stored after the end of the third advantageous effect state. May be configured to be controlled to an advantageous effect state, or may be configured to be controlled to a normal effect state when stock information is not stored. Similarly, if the first advantageous effect state is not controlled after the end of the fourth advantageous effect state, if the stock information is stored after the end of the fourth advantageous effect state, the corresponding stock is stored. It may be configured to be controlled to the advantageous effect state based on the information, or may be configured to be controlled to the normal effect state when the stock information is not stored.

  In the above embodiment, when the first advantageous effect state is controlled, the control to the third advantageous effect state may not be determinable. For example, the stock in the first advantageous effect state In the type lottery, the lottery result of the type lottery of the stock may be the first result or the second result. In the case of such a configuration, after the first advantageous effect state ends, the control is controlled to the first advantageous effect state or the second advantageous effect state.

  In the above embodiment, if it is determined that the control is to be performed in the third advantageous effect state while being controlled in the first advantageous effect state, the first advantageous effect state being controlled is stopped and the third advantageous effect state is stopped. May be configured to be controlled to the advantageous effect state. Similarly, when it is determined to control to the second advantageous effect state while being controlled to the first advantageous effect state, the first advantageous effect state being controlled is stopped, and the second advantageous effect state is stopped. You may comprise so that it may be controlled to a state. Further, when the control is made to be determinable to be controlled to the fourth advantageous effect state when controlled to the first advantageous effect state, the fourth advantageous effect is controlled when controlled to the first advantageous effect state. When it is determined to control to the effect state, the first advantageous effect state under control may be stopped and controlled to the fourth advantageous state.

  In the above embodiment, the advantage associated with extending the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the third advantageous effect state when the third advantageous effect state is controlled is When the fourth advantageous effect state is controlled, the degree of advantage associated with extending the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the fourth advantageous effect state may be the same. In addition, the advantage related to extending the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state can be specified from the first stay count information when extending the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state. It is not limited to the number of times added to the appropriate number of times, but may be the level of the probability that it is determined to extend the period that can be controlled to the first advantageous effect state. For example, a high probability that it is determined to extend the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state is high, and a high advantage related to extending the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state is high. Is also good. Further, when the fourth advantageous effect state is controlled, the advantage associated with extending the controllable period to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the fourth advantageous effect state is set as a third advantage. When being controlled to the advantageous effect state, the degree of control that can be controlled to the first advantageous effect state after the end of the third advantageous effect state may be higher than the advantage associated with extending the controllable period.

  -In the said embodiment, the advantage related to extending the period which can be controlled to the 3rd advantageous effect state when it is controlled to the 3rd advantageous effect state, and control to the 4th advantageous effect state The advantage associated with extending the controllable period to the fourth advantageous effect state when the fourth advantageous effect state is being performed may be different. For example, when the advantage related to extending the controllable period to the third advantageous effect state when controlled to the third advantageous effect state is controlled to the fourth advantageous effect state, In this case, the advantage associated with extending the controllable period to the fourth advantageous effect state may be higher. Similarly, when controlled in the fourth advantageous effect state, the advantage associated with extending the period controllable to the fourth advantageous effect state is controlled to the third advantageous effect state. Sometimes, it may be higher than the advantage related to extending the controllable period to the third advantageous effect state. Further, the advantage related to extending the controllable period to the third advantageous effect state can be specified from the third stay count information when extending the controllable period to the third advantageous effect state. The number of times of addition to the appropriate number of times is not limited to a certain number, and the probability of determining to extend the controllable period to the third advantageous effect state may be high or low. Similarly, the advantage related to extending the period controllable to the fourth advantageous effect state is specified from the fourth stay count information when extending the controllable period to the fourth advantageous effect state. The number of times added to the possible number of times is not limited to a certain number, and the probability of determining to extend the controllable period to the fourth advantageous effect state may be high or low.

  In the above-described embodiment, there is a case where the second advantageous effect state is controlled based on the second stock information and a case where the fourth advantageous effect state is controlled. The stock information to be controlled and the stock information to be controlled to the fourth advantageous effect state may be different stock information. For example, when the lottery result of the stock type lottery when controlled in the normal production state is the second result, the lottery result of the stock type lottery when controlled in the advantageous production state is the second result. May be stored as stock information different from the stock information stored. Also, the types of the lottery results of the stock type lottery need not be three types, and may be, for example, two types or four or more types. In the above embodiment, when the lottery result of the stock type lottery is the same lottery result, the same type of advantageous effect state is obtained regardless of whether the second result is derived in the normal effect state or the advantageous effect state. You may comprise so that it may be controlled to a production state. That is, the stock information is controlled in the advantageous effect state based on the stock information with the end of the preparation effect state and in the advantageous effect state based on the stock information with the end of the first advantageous effect state. If they are the same, the type of the advantageous effect state to be controlled may be the same.

  In the above embodiment, after the second advantageous effect state is completed, the second advantageous effect state is not controlled to the fourth advantageous effect state, but is controlled to the first advantageous effect state or the third advantageous effect state.
