Note, when a game over, rotating speed modified logo automatic clear.In next recreation, if the inoperation rotating speed is revised switch 101, so main rotating cylinder will rotate by ordinary rotational speed.
In addition, in ROM 42, store to obtain and win the symbol combination table.Obtain and win the symbol combination table and set up and produce the symbol combination that obtains win, obtain obtaining of win and win the corresponding relation of determining between the sign indicating number for obtaining the quantity of winning the payment coin and expression.When to a left side main rotating cylinder 3L, in main rotating cylinder 3C and right main rotating cylinder 3R carry out when stopping to control, and carry out to obtain and win when confirming, with reference to the above-mentioned win symbol combination table that obtains when stop the back at these rotating cylinders.
When the raffle of carrying out of sampling based on above-mentioned random number is handled (the probability raffle is handled) when generation inside is obtained and won, the operation signal that CPU 41 sends from rotating cylinder stop signal circuit 56 when operating shutdown switch 7L, 7C, 7R the player and based on selected " stopping control table " comes to send the signal that is used to stop/controlling main rotating cylinder 3L, 3C and 3R to motor drive circuit 49.
When stopping pattern and represent to win at obtaining of the inner composite symbol that hits, CPU 41 then provides the pay warrant signal to save storehouse drive circuit 51, and from the save storehouse 50 coins of paying predetermined quantities.At this moment, coin detecting unit 50S calculate will be from the save storehouse quantity of the coins of 50 payments.When adding up to total value to reach designation number, signal is finished in specie payment be input to CPU 41.Therefore, the driving that CPU 41 stops save storehouse 50 via save storehouse drive circuit 51, " specie payment processing " finish thus.
Fig. 4 is the block diagram that the structure of sub-control circuit 82 is shown.Sub-control circuit 82 is according to carrying out from the control command of main control circuit 81 such as to the demonstration control of liquid crystal indicator 5 with to the control of the output control of the sounding of loudspeaker 21L, 21R.The eliminating that sub-control circuit 82 is formed in circuit board wherein constitutes on the part outside the part of main control circuit 81.Its main composition unit is a microcomputer (below, be called " secondary microcomputer ") 83.Sub-control circuit 82 is by constituting with the lower part: image control circuit 91, as the display control unit of liquid crystal indicator 5; Sound source IC 88, are used to control the sound from loudspeaker 21L, 21R output; And the power amplifier 89 that is used as amplifier.
The motor drive circuit 110 that is used for driving/control step motor 59S (the secondary rotating cylinder 3S of its rotation/driving) is connected to secondary CPU 84 via the I/O port, motor drive circuit 110 driving/control step motor 59S.In addition, also be connected with the rotating cylinder position detecting circuit 111 that is used to generate input signal.
Note,, obtain when inside and to win specificly when hitting composite symbol, show specific effect according to present embodiment.The ROM 42 of main control circuit 81 stores secondary rotating cylinder effect table, the combination of a plurality of symbols that stop on the combination of a plurality of symbols in this table on the main rotating cylinder and the secondary rotating cylinder 3S.CPU 41 sends signal according to secondary rotating cylinder effect table to sub-control circuit 82.Begin through behind the predetermined lasting time from operation start switch 6S, the secondary CPU 84 of sub-control circuit 82 makes secondary rotating cylinder 3S stop at the symbol place of hope.
In addition, when the operation rotating speed is revised switch 101, effectively whether table (that is, the certain effects table wherein obtains win composite symbol etc. with secondary rotating cylinder 3S effect (symbol) and specific internal) stores among the ROM 42 of main control circuit 81 being used for determining revising to the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder.According to this certain effects table, determine whether the effect (symbol) that stops/showing is to make the rotating speed that can operate main rotating cylinder revise the effect (symbol) of switch on secondary rotating cylinder 3S.
Fig. 5 is the flow chart that is illustrated in the subroutine that Fig. 1 carries out to the game machine shown in Figure 2 to Fig. 6.From calling and carry out these subroutines in the main routine of carrying out by predetermined timing.Handle routine at the recreation execution, below processing routine 2 is carried out in the recreation among the execution of the recreation among Fig. 5 processing routine 1 and Fig. 6 and separately described.
At first, carry out as shown in the processing routine 1 as the recreation of Fig. 5, CPU 41 determines whether to exist the request (step S10) to automatic insertion coin.Note, under the situation of existence, in last recreation, must win heavily and play the request of automatic insertion.When the request that exists automatic insertion coin, insert the coin (step S11) of the quantity of asking automatically, and to the sub-control circuit 82 transmissions order (step S12) of inserting coins.
On the other hand, in step S10, when the request determining not exist to automatic insertion coin, CPU 41 determines whether that reality inserted coin (step S13).In other words, CPU 41 determines whether to have received the detection signal that is sent by the sensor 22S that inserts coins (its detection is inserted into the coin in the coin slot 22), determines whether to have inserted coin thus.
In step S13, do not insert under the situation of coin definite, CPU 41 turns back to step S10 with processing.In step S13, determining to have inserted under the situation of coin, perhaps under the situation of the processing of having carried out step S12, then determine whether to have operated starting bar 6 (step S14).In other words, CPU 41 determines whether to have received input signal from starting switch 6S.
In step S14, under the situation of definite not operation start bar 6, CPU 41 then turns back to step S14 with processing.On the other hand, when having determined to operate at step S14 under the situation of starting bar 6, CPU 41 then carries out various settings (step S15).
In the processing of various settings, when operation start bar 6, the sampling that random number generator 146 is carried out random number.Based on the random number of being sampled, and based on the probability raffle table that in RAM 43, is provided with, carry out raffle and handle to generate inside and obtain and win composite symbol (obtain and win sign).In addition, in the processing of various settings, for example carry out: obtain the win lamp and light the raffle processing; The processing that stops control table that selection is used to make the rotation rotating cylinder to stop; Be used for when starting recreation, startup command being sent to the processing (send and handle) of sub-control circuit 82; And be used for initialization with start the rotating cylinder rotation processing (this has started the rotation of main rotating cylinder 3 (3L, 3C and 3R)).At this moment, CPU 41 transmits control signal to sub-control circuit 82, and secondary rotating cylinder 3S and main rotating cylinder 3 (3L, 3C and 3R) are rotated simultaneously.
Then, CPU 41 determines whether to pass through predetermined lasting time (whether to stopping time of secondary rotating cylinder) (step S16).When not passing through predetermined lasting time as yet, handle turning back to step S16.Preferably, the scheduled time in step S16 is about 1 to 5 second.
When CPU 41 determines to have passed through predetermined lasting time, obtain the symbol combination (hitting composite symbol) that obtains in the win according to inside, come with reference to the secondary rotating cylinder effect table that is stored among the above-mentioned ROM 42, to determine which symbol secondary rotating cylinder 3S is stopped on, transmit control signal to sub-control circuit 82 then, to stop at (step S17) on this symbol.
Next, CPU 41 determines whether to pass through predetermined lasting time (allowing whether the duration that rotating speed modification switch 101 is operated is finished) (step S18).Under the situation of not passing through predetermined lasting time as yet, handle turning back to step S18.Preferably, this predetermined lasting time among the step S18 is about 1 to 3 second.Preferably, whether demonstration such as liquid crystal indicator allows that rotating speed is revised the duration that switch 101 operates and finishes.In addition, also can use voice to send and be used to operate the end that rotating speed is revised the duration of switch 101 by loudspeaker 21L, 21R.
Being provided for operating rotating speed in this way revises the reason of the duration of switch 101 and is: exist a lot of players watching the effect on the secondary rotating cylinder attentively and determine whether to operate the situation that rotating speed is revised switch 101.
Next, CPU 41 determines whether to have operated rotating speed and revises switch 101 (step S19).That is, when having operated rotating speed modification switch 101 in the above-mentioned duration, the rotating speed modified logo that is arranged among the RAM 43 comes into force.In the case, CPU 41 by determining whether the rotating speed modified logo in RAM 43 comes into force determines whether to have operated rotating speed and revises switch 101.
Determining that not operating rotating speed revises under the situation of switch 101, do not revise rotating speed, therefore handle advancing to step S22.On the other hand, revise under the situation of switch 101 having determined to have operated rotating speed, CPU 41 is then according to above-mentioned certain effects table, determine on secondary rotating cylinder 3S, to stop/whether symbols displayed shown certain effects (step S20).
Determining on secondary rotating cylinder 3S, to stop/when symbols displayed does not show certain effects, must make the operation failure of rotating speed being revised switch 101, thereby removing the rotating speed modified logo, and making to handle and advance to S22.
When determining to have shown certain effects on secondary rotating cylinder 3S, CPU 41 is revised as " low speed rotation " (step S21) to the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder 3 then based on the rotating speed modified logo.In other words, CPU 41 transmits control signal, and offers the interval between the driving pulse of each stepper motor 59L, 59C and 59R with modification, makes the rotation of main rotating cylinder 3 drop to low speed thus.
" certain effects " for example is meant that the specific inside of hitting composite symbol of expression is obtained and wins the very high effect of probability.Figure 11 A illustrates the example of the effect symbol that is shown on the secondary rotating cylinder to 11C.Shown in Figure 11 A and 11B, effect method can be to have found money and valuables or the piggy role who has a rest in the torrid zone.Provided the example that obtains win at the inside of RB, BB, watermelon and other little composite symbols, but effect method in the present invention is not limited to these examples.For example, also can show specific markers etc., or show the special symbol hit etc.Notice that Figure 11 C shows the situation that does not win the symbol combination on the main rotating cylinder.
When the inner probability that obtains win occurring when very high, inside do not occur to obtain the probability of win still very low at this specific composite symbol that hits at the specific composite symbol that hits.Therefore, in the case, for example,, still need to be provided with secondary rotating cylinder effect table to produce certain effects even do not win the combination of main rotating cylinder symbol.Yet this probability must be very low, for example below 5%.
In the present invention, when secondary rotating cylinder 3S has produced such certain effects, because the arrangement of special symbol, taken place to hit the win that obtains of composite symbol at RB, BB, little composite symbol or other.Yet, be difficult to be arranged in the symbol of hope, especially concerning new hand.Therefore, reduce the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder 3, stop to arrange symbol on a plurality of main rotating cylinders easilier thus by observation.
Next, CPU 41 determines based on the input signal that whether exists from rotating cylinder stop signal circuit 56 whether shutdown switch (stop button) 7 (7L, 7C, 7R) is " leading to " (step S22).At definite shutdown switch 7 is not under the situation of " leading to ", and whether CPU 41 definite values that stop timer automatically are " 0 " (step S23).Determining that it is not under the situation of " 0 ", handling turning back to step S22.
On the other hand, when determining that in step S22 shutdown switch 7 is under the situation of " leading to ", the value that perhaps ought determine to stop timer automatically in step S23 is under the situation of " 0 ", and CPU 41 stops the rotation main rotating cylinder 3 according to shutdown switch 7.When carrying out these whens operation, based on hit requests (inside is obtained and won composite symbol), character position (position of rotation of master's rotating cylinder 3 during executable operations) and selected stop control table etc., determine to slip over frame number (step S24).
Next, CPU 41 carries out and handles, with make a plurality of main rotating cylinders 3 rotated in step S24 determined slip over frame number after, make them stop (step S25), and stop request (step S26) for a setting in a plurality of main rotating cylinders 3.
Next, CPU 41 determines whether all three main rotating cylinders (3L, 3C and 3R) stop (step S27).Determining under the situation that not every main rotating cylinder has all stopped, handling turning back to step S22.
Next, carry out shown in the processing routine 2 as the recreation among Fig. 6, when definite all main rotating cylinders had all stopped, CPU 41 search obtained win (step S30).At this moment, CPU 41 is with reference to winning symbol combination table etc. such as being stored in obtaining among the ROM 42.In addition, whether CPU 41 also determines to obtain the win sign normal, if undesired, then may show illegal mistake and make to handle and suspend.
Next, CPU 41 determines whether to take place RB and obtains win (step S33).When generation RB obtained win, CPU 41 carried out RB (step S34) is set.At this moment, in step S34, CPU 41 obtains execution setting in the win symbol combination table at RB probability raffle table and RB.In addition, in step S34, the quantity etc. that CPU 41 begins RB recreation is obtained win adds up to, and beginning shows on service game operation number of times display part 20 and adds up to total value.
Determine in the processing of having carried out step S34 or in step S33 not take place under the situation that RB obtains win, CPU 41 determines whether to have taken place BB and obtains win (step S35).When determining that BB has taken place obtains win, CPU 41 carries out BB (step S36) is set.At this moment, in step S36, CPU41 carries out at BB probability raffle table and BB and obtains the setting of winning in the symbol combination table.In addition, in step S36, CPU 41 begins the BB that used recreation number etc. is added up to, and beginning shows that on service game operation number of times display part 20 it adds up to total value, and begins to add up to paying coin etc.
Under the situation of the processing of executed step S36, or obtain when winning when determine not take place BB in step S35, CPU 41 determines whether RB finish (step S37).When definite RB had finished, CPU 41 then carried out to handle to discharge RB (step S38) is set.At this moment, in step S38, CPU 41 uses the RB probability raffle table, the RB that are provided with in the processing of step S34 to obtain win symbol combination table etc., carries out processing, to switch to the probability raffle table (but not RB or BB) that is used for common game state.
Win under the unclosed situation in the processing of wanting execution in step S38 or when determining that in step S37 RB obtains, CPU 41 determines then whether BB finishes (step S39).When definite BB had finished, CPU 41 then carried out to handle to discharge BB (step S40) is set.At this moment, in step S40, CPU 41 uses the BB probability raffle table, the BB that are provided with in the processing of step S36 to obtain win symbol combination table etc., carries out processing, to switch to the probability raffle table that will use in common game state.
Under the situation of the processing of wanting execution in step S40, perhaps when determining that BB has finished in step S39, CPU 41 then removes the rotating speed modified logo and disposes described a plurality of setting, with the ordinary rotational speed (step S41) of recovering main rotating cylinder.Therefore, in next recreation, do not revise switch 101 if operate rotating speed, so main rotating cylinder will rotate by ordinary rotational speed.When the processing carried out in step S41, this subroutine finishes.
Next, briefly explain at the method for object for appreciation according to the game machine of first embodiment.At first, the player carries out such operation: as, insert coin, and the operation start bar is to start the rotation of main rotating cylinder and secondary rotating cylinder.In case main rotating cylinder and secondary rotating cylinder have begun rotation and passed through predetermined lasting time, so secondary rotating cylinder stops at the symbol place of expression desired effects pattern.
Figure 11 A is illustrated in the example of the effect pattern that shows on the secondary rotating cylinder to 11C.To shown in the 11B, when the piggy role has found treasure or during in torrid zone rest etc., this expression obtains at the inside of RB, BB, watermelon and other little composite symbols that to win the probability that takes place very high as Figure 11 A.On the other hand, when piggy was cried as among Figure 11 C, it is very big that this expression does not obtain the possibility of winning symbol.
When the effect symbol shows certain effects as shown in Figure 11 A and 11B, believe that this expression obtains the very high player of probability of win at specific inside of hitting composite symbol, the player that the symbol of perhaps wanting him is wished stops and showing, and new hand will operate rotating speed and revise switch 101.
Represent to obtain when winning at specific inside of hitting composite symbol when above-mentioned effect, the operation of rotating speed being revised switch 101 reduces the rotating speed of winner's rotating cylinder, thereby the player can more easily carry out to observe and stops, and can arrange out the symbol combination that he wishes.Yet even have identical symbol, main rotating cylinder may not obtain win at specific inside of hitting composite symbol yet, in the case, does not reduce the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder.
Therefore, on the contrary, when the player operated rotating speed modification switch, whether the player can reduce based on the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder judged whether that the specific composite symbol that hits is hit in inside.
After this, the operation shutdown switch is so that the rotation of a plurality of main rotating cylinders stops into the pattern of the combination of a plurality of given symbols of demonstration.
Game machine according to first embodiment of the present invention constitutes as mentioned above.Therefore, only obtain the probability of win when very high having indicated, just can operate rotating speed and revise switch, so that the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder slows down at specific inside of hitting composite symbol.In all other cases, do not reduce the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder, thereby can keep the technology correlation of common grade, and keep the former attractive of pachinko game machine.
In addition, when the operation rotating speed is revised switch and the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder is slowed down, be linked to be the probability of wishing symbol combination and improved, the probability that wins coin has increased, and, use secondary rotating cylinder to increase wholesomeness.As a result, can use the pachinko game machine to enjoy the enjoyment of recreation to the full.
[second embodiment]
Next, be described at the game machine according to second embodiment of the present invention.Game machine according to second embodiment also is equipped with: the award device of counting is used for rewarding counting of predetermined quantity when having satisfied predetermined condition; The deduction device of counting is used for counting of when the above-mentioned rotating speed of operation is revised switch deduction predetermined quantity; And the storage device of counting, being used for rewarding the operating result of device and the above-mentioned deduction device of counting based on above-mentioned counting, storage is always counted.When having shown described certain effects except a plurality of symbols on the secondary rotating cylinder, and be stored in counting in the above-mentioned storage device of counting and also be equal to or greater than will be by the counting of the above-mentioned deduction device deduction of counting the time, above-mentioned rotating speed is revised switch and is just become and can operate.
Fig. 7 is the front view that the outward appearance of the game machine according to second embodiment of the present invention is shown.Fig. 8 is the block diagram that the main control circuit that constitutes the game machine according to second embodiment of the present invention and ancillary equipment etc. are shown.
Be equipped with according to the game machine of second embodiment to be used to show the display part 201 of counting of counting, it is positioned at the right side of the zone line of plate display part 2a.In addition, structure is substantially similar to Fig. 1 to the game machine according to first embodiment shown in Figure 2.In addition, in block diagram shown in Figure 8, display part drive circuit 58 is equipped with the display part 201 of counting.In addition, structure is substantially similar to Fig. 1 to the game machine according to first embodiment shown in Figure 2.Therefore, except the display part of counting is described, omit explanation here to other parts.
The display part 201 of counting is the display unit of counting that are used to show by the storage device of counting (credit counter) storage of RAM 43.When obtaining of composite symbol etc. taking place at specific little composite symbol, heavily to play when winning, the count individual point of increase " a " or " b " individual point.That is, at specific little composite symbol, heavily play the numerical value that obtaining of composite symbol etc. win in the display part that causes counting and become numerical value P=P+a or P=P+b.On the other hand, when the operation rotating speed is revised switch or is reduced the rotating speed of rotating cylinder, deduction " A " individual point.That is counting of, showing in the display part of counting becomes the P-A value.This is counted can not be for negative.When the value of P during, can not operate rotating speed and revise the rotating speed that switch 101 reduces main rotating cylinder less than A.Therefore, the player must revise switch by the operation rotating speed when the effect that reduces main rotating cylinder rotating speed is maximum.
As mentioned above, the difference according to the game machine of second embodiment is that it is equipped with: the award device of counting is used for rewarding counting of predetermined quantity when satisfying predetermined condition; The deduction device of counting is used for counting of when the above-mentioned rotating speed of operation is revised switch deduction predetermined quantity; And the storage device of counting, be used for rewarding the operating result of device and the above-mentioned deduction device of counting based on above-mentioned counting, always store and count.And, the difference of present embodiment also is: required condition in except satisfied game machine according to above-mentioned first embodiment, and the counting of the above-mentioned memory device stores of counting also is equal to or greater than will be by the counting of the above-mentioned deduction device deduction of counting the time, and above-mentioned rotating speed is revised switch and just become and can operate.This will use flow chart explanation.
Fig. 9 is the flow chart that is illustrated in the subroutine of carrying out in the game machine according to second embodiment of the present invention to Figure 10.Note, when carry out with the game machine according to first embodiment of the present invention in during identical processing, use identical step number, and omit detailed description the step of execution same treatment.
At first, carry out as shown in the processing routine 1, to S20, carry out and identical processing in the game machine according to first embodiment of the present invention at step S10 as the recreation among Fig. 9.
In other words, execution in step S10 is to the processing of S15, and in step S16, CPU 41 determines whether to pass through predetermined lasting time.In step S17, stop secondary rotating cylinder.In step S18, determine whether the duration that allows the operation rotating speed to revise switch 101 finishes.In addition, CPU41 determines whether to have operated rotating speed and revises switch 101 in step S19, and determines whether there is certain effects in step S20 on secondary rotating cylinder.
When on secondary rotating cylinder, having certain effects, CPU 41 then determines whether be equal to or greater than determined value (A) by the storage device of counting (credit counter) according to count (P) that the step S53 and the S55 of last recreation stores in RAM 43, in other words, whether P 〉=A (step S50) is arranged.Note, the processing among step S53 and the S55 is described below.
When count (P) of the memory device stores of counting is not equal to or is not more than determined value (A), in other words, as determine to count (P) during, must make the operation failure of rotating speed being revised switch 101 less than determined value (A), thereby remove the rotating speed modified logo, and make processing advance to step S22.
On the other hand, when determining to be stored in counting in the credit counter (P) and be equal to or greater than determined value (A), CPU 41 then is modified as " low speed rotation " (step S21) to the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder 3 based on the rotating speed modified logo.In other words, CPU 41 transmits control signal, and with the interval between modification each pulse that provides in stepper motor 59L, 59C and 59R, and thus the rotation of main rotating cylinder 3 is dropped to low speed.In these cases, on secondary rotating cylinder, there is certain effects, and P 〉=A, thereby observes and stop to become easily, and obtain at specific internal and to win obtaining of composite symbol and win easily and take place.
Next, as the cost of the rotating speed of having revised main rotating cylinder, " A " is individual counts for CPU 41 counting from be stored in credit counter (P) deduction, in other words, and P=P-A, and this value stored into (step S51) in the credit counter.
With similar ground in the game machine according to first embodiment of the present invention, carry out subsequent treatment, thereby omit its description here from step S22 to step S41.
Carry out among the step S41 that handles in the routine 2 in recreation shown in Figure 10, after the setting of having disposed the ordinary rotational speed that is used to return to main rotating cylinder 3, CPU 41 then determines whether to have taken place to obtain win (step S52) at what heavily play composite symbol.
Under determining to have taken place at the situation that obtains win of heavily playing composite symbol, CPU 41 is then being added to counting in the credit counter (P) for heavily playing count " a " that composite symbol obtains win, and event memory (step S53).In other words, counting in the credit counter becomes P=P+a.
On the other hand, under determining not take place at the situation that obtains win of heavily playing composite symbol as yet, perhaps counting in credit counter becomes after the P=P+a, and CPU 41 then determines whether to have taken place little composite symbol and hits (step S54).
When determining that little composite symbol has taken place to be hit, CPU 41 then is added to counting in the credit counter (P) (step S55) to count " b " that hit for little composite symbol.In other words, counting in the credit counter becomes P=P+b.This type that can hit according to little composite symbol of counting is with game state and different.The player has remembered counting of demonstration as mentioned above, thereby when having certain effects on secondary rotating cylinder in step S20, the player determines whether to operate rotating speed and revises switch.During processing in having carried out step S55, this subroutine finishes.
Next, briefly explain at the method for object for appreciation according to the game machine of second embodiment.At first, the player carries out such as the operation of inserting coin.Thereafter, the player follows the operation start bar to start the rotation of main rotating cylinder and secondary rotating cylinder.In case main rotating cylinder and secondary rotating cylinder have begun rotation and passed through predetermined lasting time, so secondary rotating cylinder just stops at the symbol place of expression such as Figure 11 A to the desired effects pattern shown in the 11C.
When the effect symbol was shown as certain effects as shown in Figure 11 A and 11C, the player checked the P that counts that shows in the display part 201 of counting of display board.
Count P according to increases " a " or " b " such as little composite symbol hit, and when having used rotating speed modification switch to reduce the speed of main rotating cylinder, the P that counts is illustrated in current the counting after the deduction A thus.P can not reduce the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder so less than A if count.On the other hand, if P is equal to or greater than A, can operates rotating speed so and revise the rotating speed that switch reduces main rotating cylinder.
When the P that counts is equal to or greater than A, believe the player that the inner symbol that hits the very high player of the specific probability that hits composite symbol and want him is wished of this expression stops and showing, perhaps new hand will operate rotating speed modification switch.
Represent inner hitting under the specific situation of hitting composite symbol in above-mentioned effect, the operation that rotating speed is revised switch can reduce the rotating speed of main rotating cylinder.Thus, the player can more easily carry out to observe and stop, and can arrange out his desirable a plurality of symbols (hitting composite symbol).
Game machine according to second embodiment of the present invention constitutes as mentioned above.Therefore, for example, only the value after adding counting of when so-called heavy object for appreciation composite symbol or little composite symbol hit, rewarding greater than when the above-mentioned rotating speed of operation is revised switch, to deduct count the time, rotating speed modification switch just can be operated.Therefore, can not always operate rotating speed and revise the slow down rotating speed of main rotating cylinder of switch.This just makes the essential decision operation rotating speed of each player revise the suitable timing of switch.Therefore, game content becomes variation, and can enjoy the enjoyment of recreation more.
