Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine, for example, by determining the end / continuation of a specific gaming period by correlating the number of transitions between a plurality of specific gaming states and a predetermined specific condition. The end of the game can be difficult to predict from the player, and can be made highly unexpected.

Conventionally, the “AT state” has “pre-branch AT state” and “branch AT state”, and the “pre-branch AT state” ends when the number of continued games is consumed, and enters the “branch AT state”. A gaming machine that is to be transferred is known (see paragraph number “0224” of Patent Document 1 and FIG. 25).
In the above-described conventional “branch AT state”, an attack point or a damage point is generated according to the result of the lottery process of the combination, and when the continuation condition point becomes “0”, the state returns to the “AT state before branching” On the other hand, when the end condition point is “0”, the “AT state” is ended (see paragraph numbers “0233” to “0236” of Patent Document 1).

Conventionally, in the “suggesting effect” executed during the “add-on mode” transitioning from the “ART mode”, the “attack effect” or the “defense effect” is executed every time the stop button is operated. There is known a gaming machine that suggests a large number of “additional additional times” based on the “number of times of the attack” and “the number of times the attack effect is continuously executed” (paragraph numbers “0153” and (See FIG. 7).
In the conventional “suggesting effect”, the continuation rate is suggested by “the number of strong attack effects” (see paragraph number “0153” of Patent Document 2). Further, the “ART mode” ends when the “remaining game number” reaches “0”, and returns to the “normal mode” (see paragraph number “0117” of Patent Document 2 and FIG. 7). The “art number” acquired during the “add-on mode” is added to the “remaining game number” (see paragraph number “0119” of Patent Document 2).

The CPU has an interrupt function such as a timer interrupt, and executes various programs by executing a program stored in the ROM. The ROM stores programs executed by the CPU and fixed data such as various tables, and the RAM stores a temporary storage area when the CPU executes the programs, for example, the state of the gaming machine 10 It is used as a storage area for storing the area and the lottery result of the role lottery.

(Main control means 200)
The main control means 200 includes means for lottery selection means 210, stop control means 220, game result determination means 230, game state control means 240, main side common control means 250, payout control means 260, and transmission control means 270. Details of each means will be described later.
Note that all of these means may not be controlled by the main control means 200, but some of them may be controlled by the sub control means 300, or the main control means 200 and the sub control means 300 may work together. You may make it control.
With the above configuration, the main control means 200 performs lottery of the combination, controls the rotation and stop of the rotary reel 62, performs stop symbol determination when all of the rotary reels 62 are stopped, and advances the game. Will function.

The main control means 200 is for controlling the game and for executing the game. Hereinafter, the game in the present embodiment will be described.
When the specified number of bets (three) is set, one active line 86 (see FIG. 1) is set. In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, “3” is set as the prescribed bet number. As a method for setting the bet number, there are a method for inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 38 and a method for setting a credit medal as the bet number by operating the max bet switch 34.
Then, when the start switch 40 is operated on condition that the specified bet number (three) is set, the bet number is fixed and either of a plurality of combinations is won by the combination lottery means 210 or A lottery lottery (role drawing) is performed. At almost the same time as the winning lottery, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed since the start of rotation of the rotary reel 62 in the previous game. When elapses, rotation of all three rotary reels 62 starts.

In the present embodiment, the roles are broadly classified into “general roles” and “bonus roles”, and “non-winning roles” that are not won in any of them.
The “general role” includes “small role” (a role with payout of medals), “re-game role” (a role that allows the next game to be started without using a medal owned by the player, a so-called “replay role” ")It is included.
The “bonus combination” is a combination involving a transition of the gaming state, and includes a “regular bonus combination” (hereinafter also simply referred to as “bonus combination”) and a “single bonus combination”. The “regular bonus combination” is a combination that can be carried over after the next game, and the “single bonus combination” is a combination limited to 1G (game) and cannot be carried over after the next game.

When the “predetermined condition” is satisfied after the rotation of the rotary reel 62 is established, the stop switch 50 can be operated (stop operation enabled state). In the present embodiment, the “predetermined condition” is that, after the process of accelerating the rotating reel 62 is started, the predetermined position of the rotating reel 62 is detected by a predetermined sensor by detecting that the rotating position of the rotating reel 62 is the reference position. The rotational speed reaches a predetermined speed.
Thereafter, when one of the three stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 62 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. When all the three stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all three rotary reels 62 is stopped.

  At this time, when a combination of predetermined symbols 61 is arranged on the effective line 86, processing corresponding to the combination of symbols 61 is performed. The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is formed such that a profit is given to a player when a predetermined combination of symbols 61 is arranged on the active line 86. For example, when the combinations of symbols 61 corresponding to the small combination are arranged on the active line 86, the number of medals corresponding to the small combination is paid out to the player.

As shown in FIG. 5, the game states controlled by the main control means 200 are roughly divided into “general game”, “bonus game” (RB), and “bonus internal medium game” (RBF). Yes.
The “general game” is a game state other than the bonus game and the bonus internal middle game, and is provided with a “normal state” (RT0) and a “single bonus state” (SB).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the game state that is mainly controlled by the main control unit 200 and executed by the control of the sub-control unit 300 that is performed in response to an instruction from the main control unit 200 “Game” (non-AT state) and “privilege game” (AT state) are provided.
“Bonus game” includes “AT ready state” and “AT basic state”.
“AT” is an abbreviation for so-called “assist time”, and in this embodiment, a state in “AT” is also referred to as “AT state”.

The “AT state” is a gaming state in which the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is notified. The “AT state” is set to have a higher frequency of winning the combination in which the pressing order operation occurs than the “non-AT state” described later. The “AT state” is controlled in common by the main control means 200 and the sub control means 300, and when the AT lottery means 251 (see FIG. 4) of the main control means 200 is won, the AT winning is transmitted to the sub control means 300. Then, using the image display unit 84 connected to the sub-control means 300, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is visually notified.
Although the visual notification is made using the image display unit 84, the present invention is not limited to this. Similarly, the visual display using the effect lamp 78 or the auditory notification using the speaker 72 may be made. Or may be used in combination.
On the other hand, the “non-AT state” is a gaming state in which, unlike the “AT state”, notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is difficult or does not occur.
In addition, although “AT state” is illustrated as “reward game”, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a so-called “ART”, “bonus”, a so-called “pseudo bonus”, or the like.

(Role lottery means 210)
The role lottery means 210 is a means provided in the main control means 200, and when the start switch 40 is operated, either the “bonus role” or the “general role” is won, or it is not won, that is, “losing”. It is determined by the lottery (role drawing). The role lottery means 210 compares predetermined lottery data with random numbers extracted from random numbers generated by predetermined random number generation means (random number generation circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values within a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not it is won.

(Description of the gaming state managed on the main control means 200 side using FIG. 5)
FIG. 5 shows an example of a gaming state managed on the main control means 200 side.
The game state roughly includes “general game”, “bonus game” (RB), and “bonus internal game” (RBF).

(General game shown in FIG. 5)
The general game is a game state other than the bonus game and the bonus internal medium game. The general game is controlled by the game state control means 240 shown in FIG.
The general game includes the following game states.
(1) Normal state (RT0)
The “normal state” is a normal or generally performed gaming state. The normal state is controlled by the gaming state control means 240 shown in FIG.

(2) Single bonus status (SB)
The “single bonus state” can be shifted from the normal state, and the normal state and the gaming state are different. The single bonus state is controlled by the gaming state control means 240 shown in FIG.
In the present embodiment, the “single bonus state” is shifted to the normal state when the single bonus combination is won and the single bonus symbol is displayed in the normal state, and ends when the 1G (game) is consumed. To do. The single bonus combination is a 1G limited combination that cannot be carried over unlike the bonus combination which is a carryover combination.

(Bonus internal game shown in FIG. 5)
“Bonus internal medium game” (RBF) is a gaming state in which a bonus combination is won, that is, a bonus combination flag is set. The inside bonus game is controlled by the game state control means 240 shown in FIG.
The bonus internal medium game shifts when a bonus combination is won in the general game, and when a symbol corresponding to the transition of the bonus state is displayed in the bonus internal medium game, the bonus internal medium game shifts to the bonus game.

(Bonus game shown in FIG. 5)
“Bonus game” (RB) generally makes it easy to win small roles by increasing the number of symbol combinations (small roles) that will be won or by increasing the winning probability of small roles. It is a gaming state to make. In the present embodiment, in the bonus state (RB), only a specific combination is won during the bonus, and a so-called “regular bonus” (RB, first type special combination) is executed. The bonus game is controlled by the game state control means 240 shown in FIG.

In the present embodiment, when a bonus combination is won in a general game, the bonus combination is a combination that can be carried over to the next game transition, so that the general game shifts to a bonus internal middle game. After the transition, when a symbol corresponding to the transition of the bonus game is displayed in the bonus internal middle game, the bonus internal middle game is shifted to the bonus game. In the bonus game, for example, when a predetermined number of medals are paid out, the game ends and the game shifts to a general game (normal state).
Note that when a bonus combination is won in a general game and a symbol corresponding to the shift of the bonus game is displayed, the normal game may be directly transferred to the bonus game.
In addition, although “RB” is exemplified as the bonus game, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a so-called challenge bonus (CB, second type special bonus). Challenge Bonus (CB is a gaming state that facilitates winning a small role by placing all small roles in a winning state.
Further, although the number of medals is exemplified as the bonus game end condition, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of games, the number of sets, or the number of points may be used.

(Common control state shown in FIG. 6)
The “common control state” is controlled and progressed independently of the “gaming state” shown in FIG. 5, and can be broadly divided into “normal game” (non-AT state) and “privilege game” which is more advantageous than the normal game. It consists of two games (AT state).
The “common control state” is controlled by the main common control means 250 on the main control means 200 side and the sub common control means 320 on the sub control means 300 side shown in FIG.

(Normal game shown in FIG. 6 (non-AT state))
The “normal game” is a “non-AT state” and is composed of a “normal state”.
If the “AT transfer lottery” is won during the “normal state”, the game shifts to “privilege game”.

(Special game shown in FIG. 6 (AT state))
The “privilege game” is an “AT state”, and is composed of two states of “AT ready state” and “AT basic state”.
Here, “AT” is an abbreviation for so-called “assist time”, and in this embodiment, a state in “AT” is also referred to as an “AT state”.
In the “AT state”, the probability of notifying the pressing order (for example, a specific pressing order in which a winning combination advantageous to the player is established) when winning the lottery result (a winning combination) in which the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is set Is set high.
The “AT state” is controlled by the main control unit 200 at the start and end, and is executed by the sub control unit 300 in response to a command from the main control unit 200. Specifically, using the image display unit 84 connected to the sub-control unit 300, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is visually notified.
Specifically, the start of the “AT state” is controlled by the AT lottery means 251 of the main side common control means 250 shown in FIG. The end of the “AT state” is controlled by the specific condition determination unit 256 of the main side common control unit 250. The notification of the pressing order is controlled by the notification control unit 321 of the sub-side common control unit 320 shown in FIG.

The start and end of the “AT state” are controlled by the main control unit 200, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be controlled in cooperation with the sub-control unit 300.
Unlike the “AT state”, the “non-AT state” (normal state) is a gaming state in which notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is difficult or does not occur.

(AT ready state shown in FIG. 6)
The “AT ready state” shifts when “AT transfer lottery” is won during the “normal state”.
At the time of transition to the “AT ready state”, the number of games in the “AT ready state” is determined from a predetermined number of games, for example, “1G or 5G”, and the AT ready state corresponding to the determined number of games Migrate to In the AT preparation state, the number of transitions of the “specific game period” in the AT basic state described later is drawn. The AT ready state shifts to the AT basic state when the determined number of games is consumed.
In the AT preparation state, the number of transitions of the “specific game period” is lottery. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the “number of transitions” may be set in advance without the lottery.

(AT basic state shown in FIG. 6)
The “AT basic state” is a probability of notifying the push order (for example, a specific push order in which a winning combination is advantageous to the player) when the lottery result (a winning combination) in which the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is set is won. Is a state where is set high.
The “AT basic state” includes “specific game period” and “specific condition determination”.

(Specific game period shown in FIG. 6)
The “specific game period” includes “a plurality of specific game states”, and is configured to be capable of transitioning between the “plural specific game states”. In the “specific game period”, the “number of transitions” between “a plurality of specific game states” is managed, and when the preset “number of transitions” (for example, 6 times) is digested, the “specific condition determination” described later is obtained. move on.
Here, as the “plurality of specific game states”, there are two specific game states of “first specific game state” and “second specific game state”.
The “specific game period” is controlled by the specific game period control means 252 of the main-side common control means 250 shown in FIG. The transition between “a plurality of specific game states” and the “number of transitions” are controlled by the specific game transition control means 254 of the main common control means 250.

(Special role)
In the “first specific game state” and the “second specific game state”, the winning combinations include the following combinations when roughly classified. The following (1) to (3) will be described later.
(1) 1st specific role (2) 2nd specific role (3) 3rd specific role The kind of specific role is not limited to above-mentioned (1)-(3).

(First specific role)
The “first specific combination” is for shifting the specific game state between the “first specific game state” and the “second specific game state”. For example, in the “first specific gaming state”, when the first specific combination is won, the “first specific gaming state” is changed to the “second specific gaming state”, which is counted as “number of times of transition” and once. To do.

(Second specific role)
The “second specific combination” gives an effect having a different degree of advantage to the player when compared between the “first specific game state” and the “second specific game state”. That is, the “second specific combination” works favorably for the player when winning in the “first specific game state”, and adversely affects the player when won in the “second specific game state”.

Further, the advantage / disadvantage to the player may be related to the “production” in addition to the effect on the determination result of the “specific condition determination”. As for the “production”, when the “second specific role” wins in the “first specific game state”, the “advantageous production” is executed (for example, execution of the winning combination navigation), When winning in the “special gaming state”, a “disadvantage effect” may be executed (for example, the winning combination navigation is not executed).
It should be noted that if the “second specific role” was elected in the “first specific gaming state”, the player worked favorably, and if the “second specific gaming state” was elected, the player was disadvantaged. However, the relationship may be reversed. Similarly, when the “second specific combination” is won in the “first specific gaming state”, the “advantageous effect” is executed, and when the “second specific gaming state” is selected, the “unfavorable effect” is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reverse relationship may be used.

There are two types of “second specific roles”, which are related to increase / decrease in “number of transitions” and fall under the “third specific role” described later, and other “second specific roles” in a narrow sense. (Hereinafter also referred to as “the second specific role” in a narrow sense).
In the narrow sense, the “second specific combination” can acquire “points” based on the winning of the specific combination.
“Point” relates to the determination of “specific condition”.
That is, the “specific condition” is determined based on the “points” acquired for each of the plurality of specific game states.
More specifically, the “points” earned for each of the plurality of specific gaming states are totaled, the difference number of the total “total number of points” is calculated, and the specific condition is determined based on the “difference number”. Like to do.
“Points” are managed by the point management means 255 of the main-side common control means 250 shown in FIG.

(Third specific role)
The “third specific combination” is one type of the “second specific combination” and increases or decreases the “number of times of transition”. When the “third specific combination” is elected in the “first specific gaming state”, the “number of transitions” is increased, and when the “third specific gaming state” is won in the “second specific gaming state”, the “number of transitions” is decreased.
It should be noted that when the “third specified combination” in the “first specific gaming state” is won, the “number of transitions” is increased, and when the “second specific gaming state” is selected, the “number of transitions” is decreased. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reverse relationship may be used.
In addition, when the “third specific combination” is won in the “first specific gaming state”, the “number of transitions” is increased, and when the “second specific gaming state” is selected, the “number of transitions” is decreased. For example, the following combinations are also possible.

(A) When the “third specific combination” is elected in the “first specific gaming state”, the “number of transitions” is increased, and when the “third specific combination” is elected in the “second specific gaming state”, “ When maintaining the current status without changing the “number of transitions”.
(B) If the “third specified combination” is elected in the “first specified gaming state”, the “number of transitions” is not changed, and the current state is maintained, and the “third specified combination” in the “second specified gaming state”. If the number of transitions is reduced when is elected.
(C) When the “third specific combination” is elected in the “first specific gaming state”, the “number of transitions” is increased a plurality of times, for example, three times, and the “third specific combination” is increased in the “second specific gaming state”. When "" is won, the "number of transitions" is increased a plurality of times, for example, two times less than the plurality of times (for example, 3 times).

(Relationship between “first specific game state” and “second specific game state”)
The “first specific game state” and the “second specific game state” have a relationship in which, when the “second specific combination” is elected, an effect having different advantages is given to the player.
That is, the “second specific combination” works favorably for the player when winning in the “first specific game state”, and adversely affects the player when won in the “second specific game state”.
It should be noted that if the “second specific role” was elected in the “first specific gaming state”, the player worked favorably, and if the “second specific gaming state” was elected, the player was disadvantaged. However, the “advantage” may be made different, or the “disadvantage” may be made different.

(Specific condition determination shown in FIG. 6)
In the “specific condition determination”, the presence or absence of the “specific condition” is determined, and based on the “determination result”, it is determined whether to end or continue the “privilege game period”. The “specific condition” is a condition for deciding whether to end or continue the “specific game period”. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 10, “win / lose” of the “baseball” game, for example, “losing” Is a condition.
The specific condition determination is performed by the specific condition determination unit 256 of the main side common control unit 250 shown in FIG.

Specifically, when the “determination result” and “specific condition” are satisfied, for example, when the player loses the baseball game, the specific game period is ended. As a result, the “privilege game” is ended and the process proceeds to “normal game”.
On the other hand, when the “judgment result” and “specific condition” are not satisfied, for example, when “winning” the “baseball” game, the “specific game period” is continued. At this time, after resetting the number of times of transition, it is possible to continue to execute the bonus game for the new number of times of transition after the reset.

(Schematic explanation of game flow using FIG. 7)
The flow of the game will be described with reference to FIG.
First, in step S10, a betting number setting process is performed. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a specified number of bets. In the present embodiment, the prescribed bet number is three. For this reason, when a predetermined number of bets is set, the process proceeds to the next step S11. If the predetermined number of bets has not been set, the process stays at that step.

  In step S11, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control means 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Thereafter, the process proceeds to next Step S12. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, the process returns to step S11.

  In step S12, the role lottery means 210 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the winning lottery is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub-control means 300. When the combination lottery process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S13.

  In step S13, rotation variation processing of the rotating reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotation reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, when the main control means 200 operates the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotation reel 62 that is rotating, the stop control means 220 causes each of the rotation reels 62 to The rotation is stopped. The stop operation order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed in the main control means 200. Then, it is read out in the subsequent processing. Here, when a stop operation of the third stop switch 50 is performed, rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub control means 300. When the rotation variation process for all the rotary reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

  In step S14, the payout control means 260 performs a payout process corresponding to the symbol stop mode. In the case where payout is not required, payout processing is not performed. Then, the process ends.

(Description of baseball game using FIG. 8 and FIG. 9)
An example of the specific game state in the specific game period will be described with reference to FIGS.
A “baseball” game can be executed during a specific game period. Specifically, a baseball “score board” is displayed on the image display unit 84 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). On the “score board”, the “enemy” of the first attack corresponds to the “second specific game state”, and the “friend” (player side) of the second attack corresponds to the “first specific game state”.
The “specific game period” is controlled by the main control means 200 side shown in FIG. 3, that is, the specific game period control means 252 of the main side common control means 250 shown in FIG. The display of the “scoreboard” is controlled by the sub-side common control means 320 on the sub-control means 300 side shown in FIG.
In addition, “first specific game state” is exemplified as “friend” (player side) of the next attack, and “second specific game state” is illustrated as “enemy” of the first attack, but is not limited to this. The offense may be replaced, or the offense and defense may be determined by lottery.

(Inning)
The “baseball” game is composed of nine “innings” per game. “Inning” is a division of a game in which both teams attack and defend alternately in baseball. One “inning” is composed of an “attacking game” and a “defensive game”.
“Inning” is managed by the inning number management means 253 of the main common control means 250 shown in FIG.
Further, the “score board” is composed of “scoring section squares” 1 to 9 times and “total score squares”. A total of 18 “scoring section squares” are formed for each of the front and back surfaces of 1 to 9 times. There are a total of two “total squares”.
The “inning” in which the player can participate in the game is a predetermined number of times set in advance. As shown in FIG. 8, three “innings” at the time of AT entry, for example, once, five times, and nine times Times are selected. Here, “inning” in which a player can participate in the game is referred to as “participating inning”, and “inning” in which other players cannot participate is referred to as “non-participating inning”.
In addition, although 3 times were illustrated as "participation inning", it is not limited to this, It is good also as 2 times or 4 times-9 times. Also, as the “participating inning”, 1 time, 5 times and 9 times were selected, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. You may select, you may select except nine times, and you may make it determine by lottery.

(Number of transitions)
The “number of transitions” is the number of times “participating inning” is completed, and a predetermined number set in advance, for example, the initial number is set to “6 times”.
The “number of transitions” is counted at the end of “participating inning”, but is not limited to this, and may be counted at the start of “participating inning”. In addition, although “6 times” is exemplified as the initial number of “number of times of transition”, the number is not limited to this and may be 2 to 5 times or 7 times or more.
The “number of times of transition” is controlled by the specific game transition control means 254 of the main side common control means 250.

(First specific role)
As the “first specific combination”, for example, a “replay” combination corresponds. When winning the “Replay” role, the baseball “Out” count increases by one. In baseball, since it is a “3 out” change, when the “replay” role (out) is won three times, the attack and the defense are changed, and the specific gaming state shifts (for example, the first specific gaming state → the second specific state). Gaming state, second specific gaming state → first specific gaming state).
In addition, as the “first specific combination”, one type of “replay” combination is illustrated, but the combination is not limited to this, and other combinations including “losing” may be used. It is not limited to one type and may be a plurality of types. In addition, the specific game state is shifted by winning the “replay” combination (out) a plurality of times, for example, three times. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be won once, twice or four times or more. .

(Narrowly defined “second specific role”)
The narrowly defined “second specific role” corresponds to, for example, three types of roles: “bell” role, “strong WM” (strong watermelon) role, and “weak WM” (weak watermelon) role.
If you win the role of "Bell", it becomes a baseball "hit". For example, if the “bell” role (hit) is won four times, there are four “hits” and “1 point”. On the other hand, if you win the “Bell” role (hit) three times, you will get three “hits”, then if you win the “Replay” role (out) three times, you will get a “3 out” change, and you will be left behind. No score. The “bell” role works favorably for the player in the case of the “side” (player side) inning that is the “first specific gaming state”. On the other hand, in the case of the “enemy” inning which is the “second specific gaming state”, it works against the player.
If you win the “strong WM” (strong watermelon) role, you become a “home run” of baseball. If you win the “weak WM” (weak watermelon) role, you become a “two-base” baseball (two-base hit).
In other words, the second specific combination in a narrow sense gives an effect having different advantages related to the continuation rate of the specific game period.
There are four types of “second specific roles”: “bell”, “strong WM” (strong watermelon), “weak WM” (weak watermelon), and “strong CH” (strong cherry). Although the role is illustrated, it is not limited to these, and the type of the role is not limited to 4 types, but may be 1 to 3 types or 5 types or more.

(Third specific role)
The “third specific combination” corresponds to a “strong CH” (strong cherry) combination.
When a “strong CH” (strong cherry) role is won, the preset “participating inning” increases or decreases. At this time, as the “participating inning” increases or decreases, the “number of transitions” also increases or decreases.
In the participation inning of “ally” (player side) in the “first specific gaming state”, when the “strong CH” role is won, “participation inning” on the “side” (player side) side is increased by two. , Work in favor of the player. “Participating inning” on the “side” (player side) means “attacking game”. At this time, “twice” is added to “number of times of transition”. For example, when the current “number of transitions” is the initial number of “6 times”, “2 times” is added to make “8 times” in total.
On the other hand, when the “strong CH” role is elected in the participation inning of “enemy” in the “second specific gaming state”, the “participating inning” on the “ally” (player side) side is reduced by one, and the game Work against you. At this time, “1 time” is subtracted from the current “number of times of transition”.
In other words, the third specific combination imparts an effect having different advantages related to the amount of balls until the “number of transitions” reaches a predetermined number.
In addition, as the “third specific role”, one type of “strong CH” role is illustrated, but is not limited to this, and other types may be used, and the type of role is also limited to one type. It is not necessary to use multiple types.
In addition, when the “strong CH” role is won, in the case of “inside” (player side) participation inning in the “first specific gaming state”, “participation inning” on the “side” (player side) side In the case of participation inning on the “enemy” side that is in the “second specific gaming state”, the “participation inning” on the “ally” (player side) side is reduced by one. However, as a disadvantageous effect, only the “participating inning” on the enemy side may be increased.

(AT entry shown in Fig. 8)
When entering the AT, three “participating innings” are selected, for example, once, five times and nine times. The three “innings” are composed of a total of six games of “attacking game” and “defensive game”. Since each game is changed three times, the game is executed during a total of 18 wins of the “replay” role as the first specific role.

(One-time table shown in FIG. 8)
“One-time table” is “participating inning”, and “enemy” which is “second specified gaming state” starts with the first attack. At this time, the subsequent “ally” (player side) in the “first specific game state” is the “defensive game”. Note that the “number of transitions” at this time is “0”.
The “replay” role (out), which is the “first specific role”, is won three times, and until the “3 out” change is made, the “bell” role (hit) ) Won twice.
If it wins the “Bell” role, it is “1 hit”. As a result, it is first base, second base, remnant, and with no score, the “one time table” is finished. At this time, “0 points” as the total score is displayed in the “total score grid”.
The “score” of baseball is “point”, and is managed by the point management means 255 of the main side common control means 250 shown in FIG.
After the “one-time table” is completed, “one time” is added to the number of times of transition, and the total becomes “one time”, and the process proceeds to “one-time back” which is “participating inning”.
Although “1 time” is added to “number of times of transition”, the present invention is not limited to this, and conversely, “1 time” may be subtracted from “6 times”.

(On the back shown in Fig. 8)
“Once back” is “participating inning”, and is the “attacking game” of the “friend” (player side) of the subsequent attack that is the “first specific gaming state”.
“Replay” role (out), which is the “first specific role”, is won three times, and once in the “strong CH” role, which is the “third specific role”, until the “3 out” change. Winner, won the “Bell” role (hit) in the narrowly defined “second specific role” twice, and then won once in the “weak WM” role, also in the narrowly defined “second specified role” did. In addition, since the residue and the number of points will change depending on the winning order of the winning combination, it is assumed that they are won in the order described below.
When the “strong CH” role is won, “attacking game” is added as 2 innings, for example, “back of 3rd” and “back of 7th” are added as “participating inning”.
At this time, “twice” is added to “number of times of transition”. That is, since the current “number of times of transition” is the initial number of times “6 times”, “2 times” is added to obtain a total of “8 times”.
Also, when the “weak WM” role is won, it is “2 base hit”. As a result, “1 point” is added, and “1st back” ends with 2 bases, 3 bases, and residue. At this time, “1 point” which is the total score is displayed in the “total score grid”.
After the end of “1st time”, “1 time” is added to the number of transitions, and the total becomes “2 times”.

(2 times front and back and 3 times front shown in FIG. 8)
“Two-time table” is “non-participating inning”, the game progresses regardless of the player's operation, the score is automatically written, and the close-up effect is executed. At this time, “0 points” as the total score is displayed in the “total score grid”.
After the “Twice Table” is completed, the player automatically proceeds to “Two Back”, which is also “Non-Participation Inning”, and the score is automatically entered. At this time, “1 point” which is the total score is displayed in the “total score grid”.
Further, after the “second back” is completed, the process automatically proceeds to the “three times table” which is “non-participating inning”, and the score is automatically entered. At this time, “0 points” as the total score is displayed in the “total score grid”.
After the “back of the third”, the process proceeds to the “back of the third” which is the added “participating inning”.

(Back of 3 times shown in Fig. 8)
“Back of the 3rd” is “participation inning”, and the offense and defense are reversed, and becomes the “attacking game” of “ally” (player side) which is the “first specific gaming state”.
Until the “3 out” change, the “bell” role (hit), which is the “second specific role” in the narrow sense, was won twice.
As a result, it is first base, second base, remnants, and no score is given, and the “back of the third” is finished. At this time, “1 point” which is the total score is displayed in the “total score grid”.
After the end of “3rd time”, the process proceeds to “4th table” which is “non-participating inning”.
After the “back of the third” is finished, “1” is added to the number of transitions to make “3 times” in total, and then the “non-participating inning” is advanced to the “four times table”.

(4 times front and back shown in Fig. 8)
After the “back of the 3rd”, proceed to the “4th front” and “the back of the 4th” in the order, but since both are “non-participating inning”, the game proceeds regardless of the player's operation, and the score is automatically Is entered, and the close-up production is executed.
The “four times table” is an attack on the “enemy” side, and “1 point” is added to make a tie. After that, the “back of 4th” turns into an attack on the “ally” side, and proceeds to “5th table” which is “participating inning” with no score.

(5 times table shown in FIG. 8)
“5th table” is “participating inning”, the offense and defense is reversed, the “enemy” attack is “second specific game state”, and the “team” of the second attack is “first specific game state” The (player side) is a “defensive game”.
Until the “3 out” change, he was elected once for the “strong CH” role as the “third specific role”.
When the “strong CH” role is won, the “participating inning” is decreased by one, and for example, the “participating inning” of “back of 7th” becomes “non-participating inning”. That is, “7th reverse” remains as “non-participating inning”, but it is not “participating inning”, and the player cannot participate in “7th reverse”.
At this time, “1 time” is subtracted from the current “number of times of transition” (8 times) to obtain “7 times” in total.
After the “5th Table” is completed, “1 time” is added to the number of transitions, and the total becomes “4 times”, and the process proceeds to “5th back” as “participating inning”.

(Back of 5 times shown in FIG. 9)
“Back of 5th” is “participating inning”, which is an “attacking game” of “ally” (player side) which is “first specific gaming state”.
Until the “3 out” change, the “bell” role (hit), which is the “second specific role” in the narrow sense, was won three times.
As a result, the first five to third base, the remainder, and no score is given, and the “back of 5th” is finished.
After the end of “5th time”, “1 time” is added to the number of transitions, and the total becomes “5 times”.

(6 times front to back 8 times shown in Fig. 9)
After the end of "5th", proceed from "6th front and back" to "8th front and back", but since these are "non-participating innings", the game progresses regardless of the player's operation and the score is automatically Is entered, and the close-up production is executed.
After the “back of 8th” is completed, the process proceeds to “9th table” which is “participating inning”.

(Nine times shown in Fig. 9)
The “9th Table” is an attack of “enemy” that is “second specific gaming state”, and the “team” (player side) of the second attack that is “first specific gaming state” is “defensive game” Become.
Until the “3 out” change, the “bell” role (hit), which is the “second specific role” in the narrow sense, was won four times.
As a result, “1 point” is added, the rotation is reversed, and “9 times table” is completed with the first to third bases and the remainder.
After the “9 times table” is completed, “1 time” is added to the number of transitions to obtain “6 times” in total, and thereafter, the process proceeds to “9 times back” which is also “participating inning”.

(Back of 9 times shown in FIG. 9)
“Back of 9th” is “participating inning” and is an “attacking game” of “ally” (player side) which is “first specific gaming state”.
“Back of 9th” assumed two cases.
The first case is a case where the game is reversed and the game result is “win”, and the second case is a case where there is no score and the game result is “losing”.

(In the case of the first case (when the game result is “Win”))
Until the “back of 9th” and “3 out” changes, the “bell” role (hit), which is the “second specific role” in the narrow sense, was elected once, and then the “second” in the narrow sense. He was elected once as a “strong WM” role, which is a “specific role”.
When the “strong WM” role is won, it is a “home run”.
As a result, “2 points” is added, and “2 vs. 3” is a reverse victory of “ally” (player side).
After the end of “9th”, “1 time” is added to the number of transitions, resulting in a total of “7 times”, reaching the number of transitions of “7 times”. For this reason, it progresses to specific condition determination and a game result is determined.
If the result of the match is “winning”, the number of transitions is reset, and the award game with the new number of transitions after the reset can be continuously executed. As a result, a new “scoreboard” is displayed. At this time, the offense and defense are switched on the “score board”. At this time, three new “participating innings” are added, and for example, three times, seven times, and nine times are selected.
The game result and the specific condition are determined by the specific condition determination unit 256 of the main side common control unit 250 shown in FIG.
Although the offense and defense are replaced, the present invention is not limited to this, and the offense and defense may be determined by lottery. In addition, 3 times, 7 times, and 9 times were selected as the “participation inning”, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be selected except 9 times, or determined by lottery. May be.

(In the case of the second case (in the case of a game result “losing”))
Until the “back of 9th” and “3 out” changes, the “bell” role (hit), which is the narrowly defined “second specific role”, was won three times.
As a result, the 1st to 3rd base, the remainder, the "9th back" is completed with no score, and the "2 to 1" is the "losing" of the "ally" (player side).
After the end of “9th”, “1 time” is added to the number of transitions to make “7 times” in total, and then the process proceeds to specific condition determination to determine the game result.
When the result of the match is “losing”, the specific game period is ended, and the game is shifted from the special game (AT state) to the normal game (non-AT state).

(Description of Second Embodiment Using FIG. 10)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
A feature of the present embodiment is that a so-called “cold game” is included in the “match result” of the “baseball” game executed during the “specific game period”.
That is, when the “cold game” is “five times” and the score difference is “10 points” or more, the game is ended and the game result “win / loss” is determined.
According to the present embodiment, by including the “cold game”, it is possible to shorten the “specific game period”, to be speedy and thrilling, and to further enhance the reality as a “baseball” game. .
Although the “cold game” of baseball has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of “boxing”, the game is ended before or during the final round by “KO”, “TKO” or the like. May be.

(Second transition count)
Specifically, the initial number “6 times” of the “number of transitions” is set as the “first number of transitions”, and the “second number of transitions” is set in addition to the “first number of transitions”. The “second transition number” is set to a number smaller than the “first transition number”, for example, the initial number is set to “4 times or more”. The “second transition count”, which is “four times or more”, is “after the fifth” on the scoreboard in “baseball”. When the “participating inning” is increased or decreased, the “second transition count” is increased or decreased correspondingly.
The “second transition count” is determined by the specific game period control means 252 of the main common control means 250 shown in FIG.
In addition, although “4 times or more” is exemplified as the initial number of “second transition number”, the number is not limited to this. For example, in “baseball”, the numerical value according to “rule” of “cold game” is more true. Although it is highly probable, a special rule for a gaming machine may be provided and a numerical value adapted to the special rule may be used.

(Second specific condition)
In addition, “losing” of “specific condition” is set as “first specific condition”, and “second specific condition” is set in addition to “first specific condition”. The “second specific condition” is set to a condition different from the “first specific condition”, and for example, it is determined whether the score difference is “10 point difference or more”.
The “second specific condition” is determined by the specific condition determining unit 256 of the main-side common control unit 250 shown in FIG.

(5 times table shown in FIG. 10)
Referring to FIG. 10, “5th table” is “participating inning”, an “enemy” attack that is “second specific gaming state”, and a subsequent attack that is “first specific gaming state”. “Allies” (player side) are “defensive side games”.
Until the “3 out” change, the “bell” role (hit), which is the “second specific role” in the narrow sense, 3 times, the “weak WM” role (2 base hit) twice, the “bell” role (Hit) 3 times, “Weak WM” (2 base hits) once, “Strong WM” (home run) once.
As a result, “10 points” is added, and “1 time” is added to the “first transfer count” after the “5 times table” is completed, and the total becomes “4 times”, and the process proceeds to “5 times back”.
At this time, the total number of “first transition times” is “4 times”, which is compared with the “second transition number”.
As for the “second transition count”, the initial count is set to “4 times or more”, but in the present embodiment, “participating inning” is increased or decreased as shown in FIG. Since “1 time” is added at the time of “1”, “1 time” is added to the initial number of “4 times or more”, and “5 times or more”.
The “four times” that is the first number of times of transition in the “five times table” is compared with the “second number of times of transition” that is “more than five times”, and does not reach the “second number of times of transition”. For this reason, at the end of the “5th table”, the “second specific condition” that is “10 point difference or more” is not determined.

(Back of 5 times shown in FIG. 10)
“Back of the 5th” is also “participating inning”, and becomes the “attacking game” of the next “ally” (player side) in the “first specific gaming state”.
Until the “3 out” change, the “bell” role (hit), which is the “second specific role” in the narrow sense, was won three times.
As a result, with the first to third bases and the residue, “0 points” remains and “5th back” ends. At this time, “1 time” is added to “the number of first transitions”, and the total is “5 times”.
“5 times” which is the total of “first number of times of transition” is compared with “second number of times of transition” which is “5 times or more” and, as a result, “5 times or more”, “10 points difference or more” The “second specific condition” is determined.
As a result of the determination of the “second specific condition”, the score difference is “10 points”, so the “second specific condition” is satisfied.
As a result, the “first specific condition” that is “losing” is determined, “11 to 1”, and “losing” of “ally” (player side).
When the result of the match is “losing”, the specific game period is ended, and the game is shifted from the special game (AT state) to the normal game (non-AT state).

(Description of Third Embodiment Using FIG. 11)
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The feature of the present embodiment is that “match” can be extended by adding “draw” in addition to “win” and “losing” of “match result”.
According to the present embodiment, by including “draw” in the “match result”, the “specific game period” can be extended, and the reality as a “baseball” game can be increased.

(Specific conditions)
Specifically, “Draw” was added in addition to “Lose” as the “specific condition”. If the “Game Result” is “Draw”, the “Participating Inning” on the “Friend” (player side) side is increased by one, and the “9th Back” is extended to the “10th” extension. Yes.
The above “specific condition” is determined by the specific condition determining means 256 of the main side common control means 250 shown in FIG. 4, and the “non-participating inning” on the “enemy” side is increased by one, and “ally” (player side) The “participating inning” on the side is increased by one.
As an extension, the “non-participation inning” on the “enemy” side is increased by one, and the “participation inning” on the “ally” (player side) side is increased by one. The “participating inning” on the “enemy” side may also be increased by one.

(Back of 9 times shown in FIG. 11, table of 10 extended times)
The “back of the 9th” is the “attacking game” of the “team” (player side) of the subsequent attack that is the “first specific gaming state”.
In the “back of the 9th”, the “strong WM” role (home run), which is the “second specific role” in the narrow sense, was won once until the “3 out” change.
As a result, “1 point” is added, “2 vs. 2”, “9 times back” ends, “1 time” is added to the number of transitions, resulting in a total of “7 times”, and then the specific condition determination The game result is determined.
The result of the match is a “2 to 2” “draw”. For this reason, the “participating inning” on the “side” (player side) side is increased by one, and proceeds from the “back of 9th” to the extension “10th”.
The “10 times table” of the extension is “non-participating inning”, and the game proceeds regardless of the player's operation, and the score is automatically entered, for example, “1 point” is entered.
After the “10th Table” is completed, the process proceeds to “10th Back” which is “Participation Inning”.

(10th extension shown in Fig. 11)
“Back of the 10th” is “participation inning”, which is an “attacking game” of “ally” (player side) which is “first specific gaming state”.
“10th reverse” assumed two cases.
The first case is a case where the game is reversed and the game result is “win”, and the second case is a case where there is no score and the game result is “losing”.

(In the case of the first case (when the game result is “Win”))
After the end of "9th", it automatically proceeds to the "10th Table", the score "1 point" is automatically entered, the total score on the "enemy" side is "3 points", "3 vs 2 "The enemy" side is offensive. Thereafter, the process proceeds from “10 times front” to “10 times back”.
“Back of the 10th” is the “attacking game” of the “team” (player side) of the subsequent attack that is the “first specific gaming state”.
Until the “3 out” change, the “bell” role (hit), which is the narrowly defined “second specific role”, was won once, and the “strong WM” role (home run) was won once.
As a result, “2 points” is added, and “3 vs. 4” is a reverse victory of “ally” (player side).
If the result of the match is “winning”, the number of transitions is reset, and the award game with the new number of transitions after the reset can be continuously executed. As a result, a new “scoreboard” is displayed. At this time, the offense and defense are switched on the “score board”. At this time, three new “participating innings”, for example, 3, 7, and 9, are selected.
The game result and the specific condition are determined by the specific condition determination unit 256 of the main side common control unit 250 shown in FIG.
Although the offense and defense are replaced, the present invention is not limited to this, and the offense and defense may be determined by lottery. In addition, 3 times, 7 times, and 9 times were selected as the “participation inning”, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be selected except 9 times, or determined by lottery. May be.

(In the case of the second case (in the case of a game result “losing”))
Until the “10th back” and “3 out” changes, the “bell” role (hit), which is the narrowly defined “second specific role”, was won twice.
As a result, with the first and second bases and the residue, the “10th back” was completed without scoring, and “3 vs. 2” was the “losing” of the “ally” (player side).
When the result of the match is “losing”, the specific game period is ended, and the game is shifted from the special game (AT state) to the normal game (non-AT state).

(Other embodiments)
Here, as the “specific game period”, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, a “baseball” game is illustrated, but the game is not limited to this, and for example, “boxing”, “soccer”, “car racing”, “ In addition to “bike racing”, “horse racing”, “boat racing”, other “battle type” and “shooting type” battle-type games may be used.

An example of “boxing” will be described below.
Here, the “predetermined specific condition” may be, for example, a scoring result based on the total number of points scored for each “boxing” round, for example, “win” or “draw” (title defense game).
Here, “when the specific condition is satisfied” may be, for example, a scoring result based on the total number of points scored for each “boxing” round, for example, “win” or “draw” (title defense game). .

Here, “when the specific condition is not satisfied” may be, for example, a result of scoring by the total number of points scored for each “boxing” round, “losing” or “drawing” (title defense game). .
Here, “when the plurality of specific game states reach the number of transitions”, for example, in the case of “boxing”, a match is made before or during the final round by “KO”, “TKO”, etc. May be terminated. At this time, the number of transitions until the end of the final round (for example, 12 rounds) is set as the “first transition number” (for example, the number of transitions is 6), and the number of transitions until the end of the first round is set as the “second transition number”. (For example, the number of times of transition may be set), and after one round, the game may be ended in the round by “KO”. The “first specific condition” may be winning or losing by scoring results. As the “second specific condition”, winning or losing may be determined by “KO”, “TKO” or the like.

Here, “the specific condition is determined based on the points acquired for each of the plurality of specific gaming states”, for example, in the case of “boxing”, in the final round, for each round. The points scored in each round may be aggregated for each round, the win / loss for each round may be determined, and the player with the larger number of rounds determined to be “win” may eventually be determined to be “win” .
Here, in the “predetermined third specific role for increasing / decreasing the number of transitions”, for example, in the case of “boxing”, the “number of transitions” increases / decreases the “round” in which the player can participate. You may do it.

(Supplementary explanation of the embodiment)
The above-described embodiment includes features including the following technical idea.
In addition, the code | symbol in parenthesis shows the code | symbol used in embodiment of invention, and does not limit the technical scope of this invention.
(1) First Feature Point (1-1) Configuration of First Feature Point The first feature point is as follows.
First, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, a gaming machine (10) that can execute a normal game and a privilege game that is shifted from the normal game and is more advantageous to the player than the normal game.
Secondly, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, the privilege game can be shifted between a plurality of specific game states during a predetermined specific game period.
Third, the number of transitions that can be made between the plurality of specific gaming states is set in advance.
Fourth, when the number of times of transition is reached during the specific game period, it is determined whether or not a predetermined specific condition is satisfied. If the specific condition is satisfied as a result of the determination, the specific game is determined. Terminate the period. Further, when the specific condition is not satisfied as a result of the determination, the specific game period is continued.

(1-2) Correspondence Relationship between First Feature Point and Embodiment The correspondence relationship between the first feature point and the embodiment is as follows.
Here, as the “privilege game”, the AT state is illustrated.
Here, as the “predetermined specific game period”, for example, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a “baseball” game is illustrated, for example, “first specific game state” and “second specific game state”. The number of transitions between is set to “6 times”.
Here, as the “plurality of specific game states”, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, two specific game states of “first specific game state” and “second specific game state” are exemplified. As two specific gaming states, for example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a baseball “score board” is displayed on the image display unit 84 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). On the “scoreboard”, “enemy” corresponds to “second specific game state”, and “ally” (player side) corresponds to “first specific game state”.
Here, as the “number of transitions”, “6 times” is illustrated as the initial number. Specifically, the number of transitions is counted at the end of each specific game state, for example, at the end of “participating inning”, as shown in FIGS.
Here, as the “predetermined specific condition”, for example, “losing” in a “baseball” game is a condition.
Here, “when the specific condition is not satisfied” corresponds to, for example, “win” in a “baseball” game.
Here, “when the specific condition is satisfied” corresponds to, for example, “losing” in a “baseball” game.

(1-3) Variations of the first feature point Variations of the first feature point are as follows.
Here, although the AT state is exemplified as the “privilege game”, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be “ART”, “add-on zone”, or the like.
Here, as the “predetermined specific game period”, for example, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the “baseball” game is illustrated, but is not limited thereto, and for example, “boxing”, “soccer”, “ In addition to “car racing”, “bike racing”, “horse racing”, “boat racing”, other “battle type” and “shooting type” battle-type games may be used.
Here, two specific game states of “first specific game state” and “second specific game state” are illustrated as “plural specific game states”, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific game state is 3 It may be more than one.
Here, “6 times” is exemplified as the “number of times of transition”, but is not limited thereto, and may be 2 to 5 times or 7 times or more. In addition, the number of times of transition is counted at the end of each specific gaming state, for example, at the end of “participating inning”, but is not limited thereto, and may be counted at the start of “participating inning”.
Here, the “predetermined specific condition” is exemplified by “winning” in the “baseball” game, but is not limited thereto, and may be “draw”, and is not limited to the “baseball” game. For example, a scoring result based on the total number of points scored for each “boxing” round, for example, “win” or “draw” (title defense game) may be used.
Here, “in the case where the specific condition is satisfied” is exemplified by “winning” in the “baseball” game, but is not limited thereto, and may be “draw” or limited to the “baseball” game. Not. For example, a scoring result based on the total number of points scored for each “boxing” round, for example, “win” or “draw” (title defense game) may be used.
Here, the case of “not satisfying the specific condition” is exemplified by the case of “losing” in the “baseball” game, but is not limited to this, and may be “draw” or “baseball” game. It is not limited to. For example, as a result of scoring by the total number of points scored for each “boxing” round, “losing” or “drawing” (title defense game) may be used.

(1-4) Effects of the first feature point The effects of the first feature point are as follows.
That is, according to the first feature point, the number of transitions between a plurality of specific game states and a predetermined specific condition are correlated with each other to determine the end / continuation of the specific game period, thereby completing the bonus game Can be difficult to predict from the player, and can be highly unexpected.

(2) Second feature point (2-1) Configuration of second feature point The second feature point is as follows in addition to the first feature point described above.
That is, as a result of the determination, if the specific condition is not satisfied, the number of transitions is reset, and the bonus game for the new number of transitions after the reset can be continuously executed.

(2-2) Correspondence Relationship Between Second Feature Point and Embodiment The correspondence relationship between the second feature point and the embodiment is as follows.
Here, “After resetting the number of transitions”, “number of transitions” is reset to “0”.
Here, “the number of transitions” after the reset can be continuously executed is set to “six times”, for example, as shown in FIG. A new “scoreboard” is displayed.

(2-3) Operational Effect of Second Feature Point The second characteristic point has the following operational effect in addition to the above-described operational effect of the first feature point.
In other words, according to the second feature point, when the specific game period is continued, it is possible to continuously execute the bonus game with the new number of transitions by resetting the number of transitions.

(3) Third feature point (3-1) Configuration of third feature point The third feature point is as follows in addition to the first feature point or the second feature point described above.
In other words, the transition of the plurality of specific game states is conditional on a pre-set first specific combination winning.

(3-2) Correspondence Relationship Between Third Feature Point and Embodiment The correspondence relationship between the third feature point and the embodiment is as follows.
Here, the “first specific combination set in advance” corresponds to, for example, a “replay” combination. When the “replay” role (out) is won, the baseball “out” count is incremented by one, and when three “out” counts are accumulated, a “3 out” change is made, and the specific gaming state shifts (for example, the first game) 1 specific gaming state → second specific gaming state, second specific gaming state → first specific gaming state).

(3-3) Variation of third feature point Variations of the third feature point are as follows.
Here, as the “preliminarily set first specific combination”, one type of “replay” combination is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other combinations may be used. The type is not limited, and a plurality of types may be used. In addition, the specific game state is shifted by winning the “replay” combination (out) a plurality of times, for example, three times. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be won once, twice or four times or more. .

In other words, the plurality of specific game states include at least two types of specific game states that give different effects to the player when a predetermined second specific combination is won.

(4-2) Correspondence Relationship Between Fourth Feature Point and Embodiment The correspondence relationship between the fourth feature point and the embodiment is as follows.
Here, as the “second specific role set in advance”, for example, the “Bell” role, the “Strong WM” (strong watermelon) role, the “Weak WM” (weak watermelon) role, the “Strong CH” (strong cherry) Four types of roles are equivalent.
If you win the “bell” role (hit), you become a “hit” of baseball. In the case of an “ally” (player side) inning that is in the “first specific gaming state”, it works favorably for the player. On the other hand, in the case of the “enemy” inning which is the “second specific gaming state”, it works against the player. If you win the “strong WM” (strong watermelon) role, you become a “home run” of baseball. If you win the “weak WM” (weak watermelon) role, you become a “two-base” baseball (two-base hit).
If you win the “strong CH” (strong cherry) role, the baseball “inning” will increase or decrease. In the case of inning of a “friend” (player side) that is in the “first specific gaming state”, “inning” is increased, which works favorably for the player. On the other hand, in the case of an “enemy” inning that is in the “second specific gaming state”, the “inning” is reduced, which is disadvantageous to the player.

(4-3) Variation of Fourth Feature Point Variations of the fourth feature point are as follows.
Here, the “second specific role set in advance” includes a “bell” role, a “strong WM” (strong watermelon) role, a “weak WM” (weak watermelon) role, and a “strong CH” (strong cherry) role. However, the present invention is not limited to these, and the types of roles are not limited to 4 types, but may be 1 to 3 types or 5 or more types.

Here, “when the plurality of specific gaming states have reached the number of times of transition”, for example, “number of times of transition” is “6 times”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of “number of times of transition” may be prepared, and for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a “cold game” may be realized.
For example, a “second transition count” that is smaller than the “first transition count”, which is “6 times”, is provided, and the “second transition count” is set to, for example, “four times or more”. On the board, after “5 times”, the “second transition number” is reached.
Next, in addition to the “first specific condition” which is the “win / lose” of the baseball, a “second specific condition” is set as whether the score difference is “10 point difference or more”. When the “second transition count” is reached, that is, every time “each time” is ended after “5 times” on the scoreboard, the “second specific condition” (10 point difference or more) is determined. When the “second specific condition” is satisfied, the game may be ended as a “cold game” at that time, winning or losing may be determined, and the end / continuation of the specific game section may be determined based on the winning or losing.
For example, in the case of “boxing”, the game may be ended before or during the final round by “KO”, “TKO”, or the like. At this time, the number of transitions until the end of the final round (for example, 12 rounds) is set as the “first transition number” (for example, the number of transitions is 6), and the number of transitions until the end of the first round is set as the “second transition number”. (For example, the number of times of transition may be set), and after one round, the game may be ended in the round by “KO”. The “first specific condition” may be winning or losing by scoring results. As the “second specific condition”, winning or losing may be determined by “KO”, “TKO” or the like.
Here, “the specific condition is determined based on the points acquired for each of the plurality of specific gaming states” is compared to the total of “scores” of baseball, and many points are acquired. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of “boxing”, the points scored for each round are counted for each round in the final round, and each round is counted. It is also possible to determine whether the number of rounds determined as “winning” is the final “winning”.

(5-4) Action Effect of Fifth Feature Point The fifth feature point has the following action effect in addition to the action effect of the fourth feature point.
