Filed: 2016-04-25
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slot machine capable of sufficiently preventing excessively many game values from being acquired in a short time period.SOLUTION: The value of a net increase number counter is controlled to the limit state of an AT (ART) when the value exceeds a regulation value, and the value of the net increase number counter is initialized on condition that the cumulative time period of the nonexecution time period of a game reaches a reset time. In a case the value of the net increase number counter exceeds a preparatory regulation value smaller than the regulation value, the value is controlled to a limit preparing state so that the value of the net increase number counter is not initialized even if the cumulative time period of the nonexecution time period of the game is reached.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 25
