Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine (turning type gaming machine) called a pachi-slot that uses medals as a gaming medium or a pachi-lot that uses a pachinko ball as a gaming medium.

  Further, the present invention provides semiconductor memory, LD (laser disk), HD (hard disk), FD (flexible disk), MD (mini disk), and CD as control steps or control procedures for realizing the method. It also relates to a program (for example, game software) itself recorded on an information storage medium such as a (compact disc), a DVD (digital versatile disc or a digital video disc), or a blue ray disc.

  In recent years, games using a rotating drum type gaming machine called a pachi-slot machine have been actively performed in conventional pachinko halls or pachi-slot halls. There is also a spinning drum type gaming machine called a pachi-lot (or parrot) that performs the above-described spinning drum type game with a pachinko ball used in a pachinko machine (bullet ball type gaming machine) as a game medium. In video game machines such as amusement facilities, and in personal computers and game machines in ordinary households via the Internet, a coin-operated coin called token (that is, "gaming medium") is used to make a spinning-roll game. A simulation game simulating is being performed.

  For example, in the normal game of the above-described spinning drum type game machine, when the player inserts a predetermined number (predetermined amount) of game medals (game medium, credits or tokens) and then operates the start lever, a bonus, a plurality of bonuses are issued at that timing. Performs an internal lottery (or also referred to as “internal lottery”) for a small winning combination or replaying role (replaying role), and a plurality of spinning drums (in most cases, three or four reel drums) from above. Rotate downward to start a variable display game in which a plurality of symbols (normally, these symbols are drawn on a reel tape and affixed to each drum) arranged on the spinning drum are changed. At the same time, the player operates the stop button corresponding to each drum, and the symbols such as bell, watermelon and cherry of the internally won small win are displayed in a predetermined combination on the activated line to win the prize. About 15 game medals are paid out, whereas the replay pattern is displayed on the effective line When the replay (replay) is activated, without inserting the game medals (or the number inserted in the previous game is inserted as it is). ), It becomes a re-playing state in which the next normal game can be performed.

  In particular, in the case of a rotating type gaming machine called A type, a big bonus (1 type BB or 2 type BB) is internally won according to the result of the internal lottery of the normal game, and is specified by the individual stop operation of the reel drum. When symbols (for example, red 7 symbols and blue 7 symbols) are stopped and displayed in line on the activated line, a big bonus game mode (BB game mode: accessory continuous operation) that is the most advantageous game mode for the player You can get a lot of game medals at once. If the regular bonus is won and the bar symbols are aligned on the activated line as the specific symbol, the regular bonus game (RB game) is executed and the corresponding game medal can be obtained although it does not reach the BB game. In any case, it is the player's greatest concern in the spinner type game to establish these bonus games in any case. As a result of executing the internal lottery, when the bonus game is won or released, a bonus symbol is set and stored in a data storage area such as a RAM or RWM to store a specific symbol (7 symbol or bar symbol). The flag is carried over to the subsequent variable display game until all are aligned.

  By the way, the conventional spinning-type gaming machine (No. 4) has relatively high gambling, and in order to suppress it, the Act on Regulations of Customs Business and Adequacy of Business (Final revision: May, 2005) Thirty days law No. 55) was enforced and it was applied to the latest spinning drum type gaming machine called No. 5.

  For example, the payout rate (short-term, medium-term, long-term) of the No. 5 rotating body type gaming machine is very finely defined by the rule, and in the big bonus game (BB game), the number of game medals and the like acquired is The game ends when a predetermined number (for example, 360 or 480) is exceeded, and in the regular bonus game, although it does not reach the BB game, it ends when about 100 dozens are acquired. That is, due to the rule revision, the upper limit of the number of coins to be paid out in one bonus game and the increase rate of medals are restricted to be low.

  In addition, the bonus stock function for continuously releasing bonuses (consecutive chan), which should be called the greatest feature of the conventional spinning-type gaming machine (No. 4), is also prohibited by the same rule, resulting in the conventional slot. The ingenuity and features given to the machine itself have been lost, and of course the playability and gambling quality have been extremely reduced, and the players (slotters), who have been good customers, are getting away from customers.

  However, even under such strict regulations, some regulations have been relaxed, and as a result of new devising, a slot machine equipped with an ART function (assist replay time function) was developed. . This ART function is a high-probability replay state where replay is easy to win. In the high-probability replay state, the symbol stop operation procedure for winning the internally winning small winning combination (operation sequence of the stop switch, operation timing for aiming the color of the bonus symbol) ) Is announced by a liquid crystal display or voice, and is a function of assisting (assisting), and is currently the mainstream of the No. 5 slot machine.

  Furthermore, an AT machine has been developed which maintains a state in which a bonus combination is internally won and increases the winning probability of a replay during a normal game. The AT machine is equipped with an assist bonus (third bonus) that activates the assist function, and if you win the AT bonus, you will be notified of the correct pressing order when the small pressing order wins internally. In this way, a small win with the largest number of payouts out of a plurality of small wins simultaneously won.

  By the way, as the AT's original technology (patent No. 4428725) developed by the applicant, a single symbol small winning combination is internally won, and when the operation procedure of the stop button is correct, a predetermined symbol (for example, bell symbol) is won on multiple lines. On the other hand, there is a method of stopping on a small number of lines with an incorrect answer. Then, when the AT wins, the player is informed of the correct operating procedure, and the number of medals to be obtained is made different. Furthermore, during the RT, a large number of medals can be acquired without reducing the number of medals held by the player, so that a wave of balls can be produced and the game performance can be improved.

  Also, as the applicant's original technology, a bonus with a small number of payouts is frequently won, and by notifying the operation procedure and timing of the stop button during ART, the bonus is released and a large number of medals are acquired. (Patent No. 4679654, Patent No. 4597249, Patent No. 4600944: referred to as pseudo-probable variation or neostock).

  However, in this pseudo-probabilistic variation technique, when the bonus combination is won independently, the bonus symbols are automatically aligned regardless of the stop operation, so one small winning combination (inhibiting small winning) is frequently performed during the normal game. I try not to win the bonus role by winning.

  Also, even if the bonus role has already been won and the bonus flag is set, if the replay is internally won by random number lottery, the replay symbol will be preferentially drawn in and the replay will always win, so the bonus role cannot be won .

  That is, since the area originally to be lost is the winning area of one small winning combination, the loss area is small, and the RT state which should be preferable to the player is a non-continuous winning state in which the bonus combination cannot be released.

  According to the present invention, by adding a plurality of pseudo bonuses (assist bonuses) to a rotating body type game machine equipped with an actual bonus, and by having a bonus stock function prohibited by the No. 5 machine, and a unique stock releasing method. The purpose is to provide a gaming machine or the like which is endlessly entertaining and which can increase the fun.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 has a plurality of spinning drums having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface thereof, and an internal lottery for each game to determine whether or not the winning combination is successful The internal lottery means that determines the number of spinning drums for each game, and when the operation of the stop switch provided corresponding to each spinning drum is accepted, the corresponding spinning drum is individually A symbol display control means for stopping and displaying a symbol in a mode according to the determined combination, a special game lottery means for performing a lottery of a special game more advantageous than the normal game during the normal game, and a lottery for the special game. Special game storage means for storing the special game won as a storage of executable special games, release lottery means for performing a release lottery for releasing the special game during the normal game, and the release lottery. There is a pool of special games that can be won and executed On the condition that the special game is executed, the special game execution means for executing the special game and the special game deletion means for deleting the special game executed from the stored portion are provided, and the special game has a plurality of types. Depending on the type of, the probability of consecutive chan to continuously release the bonus is different, and the symbol display control means is in the standby game before the special game executing means executes any one special game. In, it is possible to display a specific symbol in a specific mode, the release lottery means, in addition to the release lottery, the special game with a probability determined according to the number of games after the end of the special game Even if the second release lottery for releasing is performed and the second release lottery is won, the special game is not released unless the stored amount exists, but when the number of games is the ceiling game , the stored game is stored. If there is no minute By lottery, a special game for at least one executable said type is determined is released, the specific symbol is a symbol which changes color according to the color light irradiated from behind, either one color Therefore, any one of the plurality of special games is displayed, and the consecutive chan probability is displayed.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, since the No. 5 machine has the bonus stock function, and the pseudo bonus stock stocked during the pseudo bonus game can be used even when shifting to the normal game, the No. 4 machine As mentioned above, the interest is not exhausted and it is possible to increase the fun. In particular, when the real bonus is won during the pseudo bonus, the same type of pseudo bonus is executed again from the beginning after the end of the bonus game, which is advantageous for the player.

Definition:
Replay refers to a combination of patterns that allows the next play to be played without making a bet in a pachi-slot (revolving type gaming machine). The name on the pachi-slot verification rules (rules regarding the approval of game machines and the verification of models) is re-game (saiyuugi). In addition, the "replay combination" used in the claims may be a group replay combination in which a plurality of replay combinations 1 to n are simultaneously elected internally, and one of the replay combinations has the highest priority (bonus combination). Also has priority). That is, the "re-play" can be performed without inserting a game medal or the like (including providing the game medal for a game by operating a button or other device related to the storage device). This is a game.

  "Actuation" is a wording including a state in which a symbol relating to a re-play or a symbol relating to a character continuously operating device, etc. is displayed on the activated line. It is synonymous with "winning prize". Therefore, in the present specification, it may be conveniently used as a "winning prize" for a replay game or a "winning prize" for a bonus role.

Basic example:
As an example of a gaming machine or the like according to the present invention, a rotating drum type gaming machine using medals as a game medium will be taken up, and this embodiment will explain the basic configuration and basic operation of the rotating barrel type gaming machine in detail.

Inside each of the drums, a rotating body symbol display LED (not shown) is provided, and light (lighting or blinking) or light is turned off according to various effects. In other words, each drum is a symbol row that displays a plurality of symbols in a row from top to bottom, and in this case, a variable display game that changes three symbol rows (plural rows) is started. Even when the symbols are displayed by using a liquid crystal display device or the like instead of the drums, it is a variable display game in which the symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are arranged is varied. The design on the reel tape attached to the outer periphery of the drum portion 2 can be visually confirmed through the transparent window portion 3.

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a medal insertion portion, which is provided with a medal insertion opening for inserting a game medal (a game medium, which may be referred to as a "coin" or simply "medal") necessary for starting the variable display game. There is. A left light transmission portion 5a and a right light transmission portion 5b are provided on both sides of the medal insertion portion 5, and the medals are generated by light from a plurality of light sources (for example, LEDs) attached to the lower left and right sides. When it is impossible to insert, it is red (first color). On the other hand, when it is possible to add medals and is additionally displayed for the game, it is blue (second color), when it is additionally displayed on the medal storage device. Lights in green (third color). However, when the medal cannot be inserted, the light may be turned off.

  The medals inserted from the medal insertion slot are counted by a medal selecting device (or also referred to as a "selector", not shown), and the number of normally inserted medals is added to add the number of inserted LEDs LED4a of the display LED block 4. Alternatively, the number of medals stored is displayed on the LED 4b.

  Reference numeral 6 denotes a settlement button, which is operated at the time of starting and releasing a medal storage device (not shown) and paying out the inserted medals and the stored medals (credits).

  Reference numeral 7 denotes a cross key, which is composed of four switches arranged vertically and horizontally and an enter button at the center. The upper and lower or left and right switches cannot be pressed at the same time. It is operated when viewing the history information of the game by the up / down / left / right operation or the decision operation, or displaying the combination symbol table of the winning combination or the payout table on the display effect device 11. A 1-bet button (not shown) is provided in the vicinity of the cross key 7, and is used when inserting one stored medal of the medal storage device for playing a game. In some cases, the 1-bet button is not provided.

  Reference numeral 8 denotes a max bet button (MAX bet button), which is a maximum defined according to a game state such as when inserting a maximum number of three medals stored in the medal storage device for playing a game or during a bonus game. It is used when inserting the number of sheets (1 to 3 sheets). An LED is provided inside the max bet button 8 so that it lights up when the max bet button 8 is operable.

  Reference numeral 9 is a start lever (a part of the rotating body rotation starting device), which is used to rotate (start) the drum portion 2 all at once after inserting a predetermined number of game medals necessary for playing a game. A game start display LED is provided around the start lever 9 and is turned on when the start operation is possible. Further, the start lever 9 is a desired set value selected from the step values 1 to 6 (or four step jump numbers such as 1, 3, 5, and 7) when performing the step setting of the payout rate. Used to confirm.

  Reference numeral 10 denotes a stop button portion (also synonymously referred to as “stop switch”), which is used when stopping the rotating drum portion 2. The stop button section 10 is composed of three button groups (a left stop button 10a, a middle stop button 10b, and a right stop button 10c (note that there are rare cases of four), and the drum section 2 is stopped during rotation. By operating the button portion 10, the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c corresponding to the respective buttons can be stopped. When the rotation of the three drums of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c reaches a predetermined speed (about 80 rotations / minute) and the stop button portion 10 becomes operable, the stop button 10a, stop The LEDs built in the button 10b and the stop button 10c are lit. When the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, and the right stop button 10c are used as the three direction input means, it is possible to correspond to the left direction, the upward direction, and the right direction input, respectively.

  Reference numeral 11 is a display effect device including an FPD (flat panel display) such as an LCD (liquid crystal display), a PDP (plasma display panel), or an organic EL (electro luminescence), and various image effects related to the spinning drum game. It is also possible to announce required information. In addition, regardless of whether or not special glasses are used, recently, a display effect device capable of stereoscopic display has been manufactured at a low cost, and 7 patterns or the like are produced in a tempai state (reach state) or a big hit state. A game machine that uses a 3D display device in which an image pops out is becoming mainstream.

  Reference numeral 12 denotes a speaker unit, which is composed of four speakers, that is, an upper left speaker 12a, an upper right speaker 12b, a lower left speaker 12c, and a lower right speaker 12d, and a sound effect or a stage set value is being changed according to various effects, or a front door. A warning sound is generated when 1b is open or when a trouble occurs. When a serious trouble (selector error, hopper error, RAM error, but door open is not included) occurs, the error display LED 4f lights up together with a warning sound.

  Reference numeral 13 denotes a game state display LED section, which is an upper state display LED 13a (also referred to as a top lamp) provided on the upper portion of the display effect device 11, an upper left state display LED 13b and an upper right state display LED 13c provided on both side surfaces, and a middle left side.

In addition, the blinking is repeated as a warning display during the change of the step setting value, the state where the front door 1b is open, or the occurrence of trouble.

  Since the gaming state display LED section 13 (13a to 13h) is arranged so as to substantially go around the outer circumference of the front door 1b, the player can play the outer edge of the outer edge without changing the colorful light. It is possible to effectively produce a rotating light effect. In particular, the upper state display LED 13a provided at the upper center position of the front door 1b (the upper center position on the front of the gaming machine main body) is called a top lamp, and is unique to an internal winning or winning rare small win. It plays a central role in light production in which the player emits light in colors and informs the player of the winning combination, etc.

  Reference numeral 14 denotes a special button, which is information required according to various games displayed on the display effect device 11 and its image effects (for example, increase of power level gauge, display of bonus establishment symbol, operation of fighter machine gun, Input information such as the bomb drop or the moving direction of the characters, power-up, etc.) is input by the player himself operating once or repeatedly hitting. The information input by the special button 14 is given to a sub-board (sub-block) which will be described later and is used only for various images and audio effects, so it does not affect the result of the game. .

  Reference numeral 15 denotes a tray, from which the game medals paid out from the medal payout device 18 (see FIG. 2) are discharged from the medal payout exit 16 and the number of coins can be received up to several hundreds.

  Reference numeral 19 denotes a door keyhole, which is used to open the front door 1b of the rotating body type gaming machine main body 1 with the door key, to release the stopped state (state in which the operation for the medal type game is disabled) and to stop the game due to an error. Used when releasing.

  Reference numeral 20 denotes a return button (formally referred to as "insertion medal jam return button"), which is a game medal selector (not shown) through which the game medals inserted into the medal insertion section 5 pass, to display the game medals. It is used when returning from the medal payout exit 16.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the rotating body type gaming machine.

  A drum unit 2 and a medal payout device 18 (medal hopper 18) are arranged below the drum unit 2 in the center of the housing 1a of the spinning-roller type gaming machine body 1.

  A reflection plate 17 is provided in the upper right part of the housing 1a, and a photosensor is provided at a corresponding position of the front door 1b. When the front door 1b is closed, the LED light emitted from the photosensor is reflected. While the light is reflected by the plate 17 and detected by the phototransistor, the reflected light is not detected in the open state, so that the open / closed state of the front door 1b can be detected.

  Reference numeral 21 denotes a power supply unit. When the power switch 21c is turned on, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after the initial check and the initial setting, the variable display game can be played.

  Reference numeral 21a denotes a setting key switch (also referred to as a setting change permission switch), which is used when performing a stage setting operation of the payout rate and confirming a stage setting value. By inserting the operation key into the keyhole 21d and rotating it, the state can be changed from OFF to ON or vice versa.

  Reference numeral 21b is an error cancellation switch, which is used when setting the payout rate in stages and canceling the suspension of the game due to an error. The stage setting value of the payout rate is displayed by the medal payout number display LED 4c, and the value is incremented by 1 each time the error release switch 21b is pressed, and the display returns to "1" after the display of "6" for turnaround display. .

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a control circuit system of the rotating body type gaming machine.

  The control circuit system is roughly divided into a main block (main board: a part not surrounded by a broken line) and a sub block (sub-board: a part surrounded by a broken line), while the main block controls a game result. The sub-block controls various performances such as notification and display of the game progress and the result of internal drawing, which attracts the player's interest and interest. It should be noted that, when the assist function is activated, the sub-block sets a stop operation procedure (a winning order of a small role for the purpose of winning a prize) or a stop operation procedure for avoiding a fall replay (operation sequence and operation timing of the stop button unit 10). Notice.

  Reference numeral 100 denotes a main control unit, which is an integrated one-chip microcomputer (for example, LEM50A-P manufactured by LEE Tech Co.) equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU, and which controls a predetermined data table area and the entire device. , And a RAM 102 (RWM: rewritable memory) in which a counter, a register, etc. are formed and which temporarily stores information necessary for control. Also, not only internal RAM but also external RAM is included. .), Various registers, counters, etc. are provided. As will be described later, this RAM 102 retains all control data to be stored by the RAM backup power supply that is constantly supplied via the power connector even when the power switch 28c is turned off or the power cord is unplugged. However, when the power supply connector itself is unplugged, the power is not supplied and the control data is erased (all clear or reset to 0) or meaningless information.

  The main controller 100 has a start SW sensor 110 (start switch sensor 110), three stop button sensors 120, a medal detection sensor 130, and a bet button via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus. The sensor 140 and the stage setting unit 150 are connected, and the main control unit 100 is configured to be able to receive input signals from these.

  Further, the main control unit 100 is connected to the drum unit 2, the medal payout device 18 and the display LED block 4 via an I / 0 port (not shown) and a data bus. These various devices can be controlled by transmitting and receiving output signals.

  The main control unit 100 internally extracts one of the random numbers (the value of 0 to 65535) continuously generated by the built-in random number generation unit 103 in accordance with the operation of the start lever 9 by the player. The lottery is executed, and the drum unit 2 (the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c) is a three-row (multi-row) design row in which a plurality (usually 20 or 21) designs are drawn. The symbol variable display game is started by rotating. For example, in this random number lottery, one of the small winning winning prizes such as bell, cherry, watermelon, or plum wins internally (or multiple small winnings win simultaneously), and the player stops the stop button unit 10. Then, the main control unit 100 individually stops the drum unit 2 at a predetermined position based on the lottery result according to the operation order. As a result, if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on any of the activated lines set in the window portion 3, the prize is won. However, the number of effective lines is not limited to five, and may be changed according to the number of inserted medals, or may be increased or decreased to one or more depending on the design specifications and the game state.

  A sub-control unit 160 is connected to the main control unit 100 via an I / 0 port (not shown) or a data bus, and control data (for example, coin insertion data, The lottery result, the winning situation data, the stage setting value data, the data indicating the switch operation state of the stage setting unit 150, etc.) are output to the sub control unit 160.

  Like the main control unit 100, the sub control unit 160 is an integrated one-chip microcomputer equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU, and a ROM 161 that stores a control program that describes the control procedure of the entire sub-block. A RAM 162 or the like is provided which is provided with a counter, a timer, a register, etc., and temporarily stores information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100. A plurality of BGM (background music) data is stored in the ROM 161, and a specially arranged BGM is arranged according to a production scene in order to elevate the player's feelings especially during the bonus game. It is selected and played appropriately. The main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 do not have to be provided separately, but may be a single control unit.

  The sub-control unit 160 has a liquid crystal control unit 163, a speaker unit 12, a game state display LED unit 13, a cross key sensor 111, a special button sensor 112, and a door abnormality via an I / O port (not shown) or a data bus. The signal output device 113 is connected, and the sub-control unit 160 can accept input signals from these devices and output necessary data and signals to perform various controls.

  The sub-control unit 160 executes an internal lottery by using the random number extracted by the main control unit 100 in response to the start operation of the start lever 9, and receives a result notification of a big hit, a replay, various small wins or a loss, Before notifying the player of the lottery result, an effect lottery is performed to determine whether or not to perform an effect on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. When the sub control unit 160 wins in the effect lottery, it selects the effect image to be displayed from a plurality of effect images stored in the ROM 11c (see FIG. 13) described later and outputs it to the display panel 11e.

  In particular, as will be described later, the sub-control unit 160, when the push order small win (a plurality of first small wins and some of the plurality of press order prescription small wins) is internally won during the AT bonus game, Assist information (auxiliary information) for aligning the winning first small winning symbol design (for example, a bell design) on the activated line is displayed on the display effect device 11. This allows the player to easily win the first small combination.

  When the cross key is operated, the cross key sensor 111 outputs a direction signal corresponding to four directions of up, down, left, and right and a decision button operation signal of the central portion, and the sub control unit 160 receives the direction signal and outputs the direction. Various image effects and winning notifications corresponding to the signals are displayed on the display effect device 11, and a sound effect is generated from the speaker unit 12. In addition, the sub-control unit 160 displays the combination symbol of the winning combination, the small winning combination table and the payout table on the display effect device 11 based on the signal from the cross key sensor 111.

  The special button sensor 112 outputs an ON signal (for example, HIGH signal) when the special button 14 is operated, and outputs an OFF signal (for example, LOW signal) when the special button 14 is released, and the sub control unit 160 receives this ON signal. Depending on the timing and the number of times the pulse is received (called continuous hits), various games and their image effects, winning notifications, etc. are displayed on the display effect device 11.

  The door abnormality signal output device 113 is a device that detects an open / closed state of the door and outputs a control signal to the sub-control unit 160. When the main power supply is ON, an ON / OFF signal is output according to the opening / closing of the front door 1b. On the other hand, when the main power supply is OFF, the main power supply is driven by the power supplied from the sub power supply (backup battery) to detect and store the abnormal opening / closing of the front door 1b when the main power supply is cut off. Even when it is turned on, it notifies the sub-control unit 160 of abnormal opening / closing when the main power is cut off. As a result, even if the front door 1b is closed and it seems that there is no abnormality at all, the sub control unit 160 generates a warning sound when the main power is turned on, so that the manager of the gaming hall recognizes the abnormality. It is possible to take appropriate measures such as checking and checking the gaming machine.

  The medal detection sensor 130 is composed of a medal passage sensor and a proximity sensor (not shown), and outputs a number of pulse signals corresponding to the number of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 5. The main control unit 100 receives this pulse signal, and executes counter logic processing at the rising and falling edges of the pulse signal, and displays the pulse number on the inserted number LED 4a or the medal storage number display LED 4b in the display LED block 4. The number of inserted credits or the number of credits increased by the number is controlled.

  The bet button detection sensor 140 includes a 1 bet button detection sensor 140a that outputs a pulse signal in response to the operation of the 1 bet button and a max bet button detection sensor 140b that outputs a pulse signal in response to the operation of the max bet button 8. And is separately connected to two ports of the main control unit 100 (not shown in detail). The main controller 100 controls the display of the number of inserted LEDs 4a so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signal.

  When the player operates the start lever 9 after inserting a predetermined number of medals, the start SW sensor 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 100 performs random number lottery or the like upon receiving the start signal. A driving pulse signal is output to the drum section 2 when the variable display game is started. The game performed by operating the start lever 9 once is a variable display game of one game, and the player aims to increase the number of medals by acquiring a bonus game (big bonus or regular bonus). Repeat the game. The bonus game means, for example, a first-class special accessory (RB), a first-class special auditor continuous operation (RBB), or a second-class special auditor continuous operation (CBB).

  Then, when the stop buttons 10a, 10b, and 10c are operated during the variable display game, the main control unit 100 individually stops the rotation of the corresponding rotary drums, and a predetermined winning combination is established (the pattern of each rotary drum). Is displayed in a predetermined combination, the prize is won.) When paying out medals, the number of paid-out coins is displayed on the medal pay-out number display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and the number of credits is displayed. In addition to the above, the medal storage number display LED 4b is displayed. When the payout operation is performed by the settlement button 6 or the number of credits exceeds the maximum number of 50, for example, the main control unit 100 controls the medal payout device 18 to drive the required number of medals. It is discharged from the outlet 16 and accumulated in the tray 15.

  Further, the main control unit 100 outputs control data (event data) related to the internal winning or the like to the sub control unit 160 when the re-game or the small winning combination, especially the bonus is internally won. When the sub-control unit 160 receives the control data from the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 controls the lighting of the gaming state display LED unit 13 and the control of a voice synthesis LSI (not shown) for generating a sound effect from the speaker unit 12. , And various production operations such as display control of characters and background images on the display screen of the display production device 11.

  Reference numeral 150 is a stage setting unit, and by performing a stage setting operation of a payout rate described later, the hall side can set a stage value according to an event, a large amount of medals released at newly opened and a collection situation for profit improvement. A desired set value can be selected from 1 to 6 (or jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and the like).

  A stop setting unit (not shown) is connected to the main control unit 100, and if it is on (or “1”), the inserted number LED 4a and the medal accumulated number display LED 4b are displayed after the bonus game ends. The total of the displayed medals is forcibly paid out, the operation for playing the variable display game is disabled (stopped state), and a warning sound is generated from the speaker unit 12. In addition, recently, there are many slot machines that do not have this stop setting unit.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a control circuit system that controls the drum unit.

  The drum unit 2 includes step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c for controlling the rotation of the three drums of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, and responds to the drive pulse signal from the main control unit 100. When the step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c are driven by the above, and the drive pulse signals are continuously supplied to the three phases at the same time, a suction force is generated and the motor suddenly stops.

  The stepping motors 30a, 30b, and 30c are a four-phase 1-2 excitation system and have 252 steps / revolution (1.43 degrees / step), and when the main control unit 100 inputs a driving pulse signal of 504 pulses, it is just. Make one rotation. The main control unit 100 returns one pulse of each index signal (reference signal or reference position signal) from the drum sensor 31a, 31b, and 31c, which is a photo interrupter provided for each drum, so that each drum returns. The position of can be accurately grasped. That is, the resolution with one input pulse is 0.714 (degrees / pulse). When the resolution is further increased, the rotation position can be finely grasped by managing the time from the input pulse to the next input pulse and the rotation speed.

  FIG. 5 is a configuration block diagram of the drum unit.

  The center portions of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, which are thick disk-shaped rotating bodies, are connected to the respective rotation shafts of the step motors 30a (not shown), 30b (not shown), and 30c. And rotates in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure (that is, from top to bottom). Further, a left-turning body belt 32a, a middle-turning body belt 32b, and a right-handing body belt 32c in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged are attached to the outer peripheral portion of each drum, and the same symbol (predetermined in the variable display game If the predetermined pattern is displayed on the window 3 side by side on the activated line, the winning combination is achieved (winning or operation). In addition, the star mark, + mark, plum mark (black circle mark) and triangle mark in the same figure are shown for convenience, and are different from the actual ones: 7 symbols, bar symbols, bell symbols, watermelon symbols and cherries. Designs and the like are generally used. In addition, the swirl belt is generally called a reel tape.

  Rotating cylinder sensors 31a, 31b and 31c (not shown) are provided for the stepping motors 30a, 30b and 30c, respectively, and each rotation of the stepping motor returns an index signal of one pulse. Is coming. The main control unit 100 always grasps the symbol number and the rotation angle (24 divisions / symbol) at the reference position (for example, the lowermost position of the window 3) based on this index signal and the number of output drive pulse signals. ing.

  FIG. 6 is a symbol arrangement table of the drum.

  Each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c has a rotating drum band (not shown) in which the left drum design, the middle drum design, and the right drum design are drawn so as to make one round at the outer peripheral portion of each drum. It is attached to.

  As shown in the illustration, 21 different designs are drawn on each body belt, and the big bonus designs "red 7" and "blue 7" that activate the bonus, and various small win prize designs cherry , Watermelon, bell, and replay to activate replay. Note that the discarded pattern does not play any role even if it is stopped on the activated line, and in order to make it inconspicuous to the player, for example, "N" is printed in a circle in light gray.

  FIG. 7 is a configuration block diagram of the drum unit, and FIGS. 7A and 7B show a state in which the right drum 2c is retracted and controlled in time series.

  The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the lottery result is a win and the winning combination is internally won, pull-in control for drawing in the symbol of the winning combination as much as possible on the activated line. To do.

  For example, in the so-called reach state (or tempai state) in which the symbols "7, 7" are lined up on the activated line diagonally to the right of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b that have stopped due to the internal winning of the big bonus combination, this effective When the design "7" is located within 4 frames above the line (that is, within 5 frames including the design on the activated line), when the right stop button 10c is operated to stop (Fig. 7 (A )), The main control unit 100 forcibly pulls the symbol “7” onto the activated line to perform pull-in control for aligning the symbols “7, 7, 7” (see FIG. 7 (B)). .

  On the other hand, even if one of the winning combinations is internally won by the lottery, the player is not in an advantageous state unless the predetermined symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the activated line. For example, the big bonus game (BB game) is not activated unless it is displayed as shown in FIG. 7 (B). The pull-in control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on any of the symbols on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. The main control unit 100 sequentially calculates the number of sliding frames for the virtual stop operation symbol frame position in advance by referring to the stop table that determines the stop position of each drum according to the random number lottery result (internal winning or loss). Then, the sliding frame number table for the first stop operation is completed. Then, when the stop button unit is actually operated to stop, the main control unit 100 moves the corresponding reel drum by the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the symbol number at the reference position, and then stops so as to stop. Take control. In other words, the first stop operation positions are 63 frame positions (21 frames × 3 reels) in total, and the sliding frame numbers for all the frame positions are created in advance as a sliding frame number table.

  In the example of FIG. 7, the symbol “7” of the right drum 2c is just above four frames in the ten-pie state, and will be lined up on the activated line as a target of pull-in control. However, this pull-in control is not limited to four frames, and the number of pull-in frames can be increased / decreased by software control so as to comply with design specifications or legal regulations. When the random number lottery result is a win in the general game, the sub-control unit 160 displays auxiliary information for stopping the rotation of the rotary drum (operation sequence or operation order so that the symbols are displayed in a predetermined combination by pull-in control). The assist information such as the operation timing: AT information) is notified by the display effect device 11 or the voice.

  FIG. 8 is a configuration block diagram of the drum unit, and FIGS. 8A and 8B show a time-sequential state in which the right drum 2c is subjected to avoidance control (or kick-off control).

  The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the winning result is lost and the winning combination is not established (when all winning combinations are not internally won), the main control unit 100 wins or operates on the activated line. The avoidance control for not aligning the symbols of the combination (bonus, small combination, replay) is performed.

  For example, in the reach state (temple state) in which the symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the activated line diagonally to the right of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b that have stopped without the big bonus combination being internally won, the game is played. When the person operates the stop button 10c by pressing the "eye" and the symbol "7" is located within one frame from this effective line (for example, it is called "bite pressing". (See A)), the main control unit 100 performs an avoidance control in which the symbol “7” is moved to at least one destination so that the symbols “7, 7, 7” are not aligned on the activated line, and forcibly lost. (See FIG. 8B). The avoidance control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on the symbols on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. In addition, avoidance control is performed so that an unwinned small winning symbol does not win. The pull-in control and the avoidance control (kicking control) are performed by the main control unit 100 based on a sliding piece number table created in advance by referring to the stop table according to the internal winning situation, and as necessary. It is controlled by a program.

  FIG. 9 is a timing chart showing the relationship between the index signal, the symbol position data (frame data), the drive pulse signal, and the stop button sensor signal.

  FIG. 9 (A) shows the index signals output from each of the barrel sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c, and the main control is performed so that T1 becomes constant at 0.751 seconds (that is, 79.9 rotations / minute). It is controlled by the unit 100.

  FIG. 9B shows the symbol position data of the rotary drum, and FIG. 9C shows the drive pulse signal.

  The symbol position data is generated by dividing the driving pulse signal, and the driving pulse signal is decremented by 1 every 24 pulses. That is, with the index signal as a reference, from there the drive pulse signal is in the range of 1 pulse to 24 pulses, the symbol position data is "21", and the drive pulse signal is in the range of 25 pulses to 48 pulses, the symbol position data is "20", The drive pulse signal is in the range of 49 pulses to 72 pulses, the symbol position data is "19", ..., The drive pulse signal is in the range of 481 pulses to 504 pulses, the symbol position data is "1", and the symbol position data is 21 to 1. Turn around. That is, the symbol position data returns to "21" after "1".

  The drive pulse signal is a drive pulse of a prescribed pattern that is input to the motor coil to rotate the rotary drum in a fixed direction, and as can be seen from the figure, there are eight pattern numbers 0 to 7. When pattern numbers 0 to 7 are repeatedly applied to the motor coils 1 to 4 phases three times as this drive pulse signal (that is, when 24 pulses are input), the rotary drum rotates from the top to the bottom by one symbol (one frame). To do.

  In particular, the input pulse phase data of the drive pulse input to the step motor is 5-bit data of 0 to 23 for driving the rotary drum by one frame, and the pattern numbers 0 to 7 are the lower 3-bit phase data. Then, the drive pulse corresponding to the pattern number is actually applied to the motor coil 1 to 4 phases. Therefore, even when only the pattern number is stored in the work RAM (RAM 102), it corresponds to the phase data storage means for storing the input pulse phase data.

  FIG. 9D shows a stop button sensor signal output when each stop button is operated. In the case of this figure, the main control unit 100 recognizes the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data “10” (or the pattern number “2”) at the rising time of the stop button sensor signal.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a included in the drum unit.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (A), this left drum 2a is rotating in the direction of the arrow (from top to bottom), and the cherry pattern is shown in the upper, middle, or lower row of the three window portions 3 shown by the solid lines. When is stopped, a prize is won and a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. It should be noted that FIG. 10A shows a state in which the cherry symbols are stopped on the upper stage of the window 3.

  When the player performs a variable display game start operation, the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery. As a result, when the upper cherry (cherry 1) is won, the position at which the stop button is operated (timing ), Pull-in control of the cherry symbol (see FIG. 9) or avoidance control (see FIG. 10) is performed.

  FIG. 10 (B) shows a range in which the pull-in control is possible. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position four frames above the position where the cherry pattern is just above the main pattern, the main control unit 100 operates the window section. Stop the cherry symbol in the upper row of 3 (assuming that the Vita symbol is in the upper row position). It should be noted that in actuality, it takes about 36 ms before stopping, so it is positioned higher by that amount, but this is noted for convenience of explanation. Also, since it is specified that the vehicle should stop within 190 ms after the stop operation, there are cases where four frames do not slip. The data of 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 10 (A) and the data of 0 overlapping with the cherry symbol indicate the number of sliding symbols, and the main control unit 100 performs the stop calculation process based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information. Then, the sliding frame number table is created so that the player can immediately perform stop control no matter what time and at what timing the stop button unit 10 is operated.

  On the other hand, FIG. 10 (C) and FIG. 10 (D) show the range in which the avoidance control and the like are performed, and the main control unit 100 indicates that the cherry symbol is 4 from the upper position even when the upper cherry is won. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position above the frame (that is, a position above 4 in FIG. 10A) or at a position slightly past the upper position, one of the upper positions or the lower position is operated. Stop the cherry pattern below and lose it. That is, since the middle tier cherry (cherry 2) or the lower tier cherry (cherry 3) has not been won, it is necessary to forcibly stop the cherry symbol outside the window 3.

  FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the left drum 2a, the window portion 3, and the symbol position data.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 (A) and 11 (B), since the cherry symbols on the left drum 2a are the frame number 8 and the frame number 19 (see FIG. 8), when the upper cherry is internally won, the window is displayed. When the lowest position of the unit 3 is used as a measurement reference, the main control unit 100 causes the symbol position data “14” and the input pulse phase data “0” to the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data “23”, or the symbol. When the stop button 10a is operated in the range of the position data "4" and the input pulse phase data "0" to the symbol position data "1" and the input pulse phase data "23", the cherry symbol is stopped in the upper stage and the prize is awarded. . That is, if the stop button 10a is appropriately operated, not only is there a winning probability of 10/21, but if a winning notification is given, an expert can push the prize and win with a probability close to 100%. .

  FIG. 12 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the activated line according to the number of inserted game medals. For example, when three game medals are inserted and a cherry symbol for paying out two of the left drum 2a is displayed in the window portion 3, if it is the upper row, four (2 pieces × 2 lines: the second line and the second line 4 lines), 2 coins (2 coins x 1 line: first line) in the middle stage, and 4 coins (2 coins x 2 line: 3rd line and 5th line) in the lower stage. However, this effective line is a general line that has been conventionally adopted, and recently, there are many one lines and irregular lines, as will be described later.

  Further, when the bell symbols for paying out 8 sheets are displayed in line on the effective line of the window portion 3, if only the middle row is 8 sheets (8 sheets × 1 line: the first line) and the upper row and the diagonally lower right corner. For example, 15 (8 pieces × 2 lines but MAX 15 pieces: second line and fourth line) game medals are paid out. In other words, the game media of the payout number defined according to the type of winning are paid out in total for the winning amount, but the maximum number of payouts at one time is 15.

  FIG. 13 is a configuration block diagram of the display effect device.

  The display production device 11 receives a production command from the sub-control unit 160 and transmits / receives necessary information, a transmission / reception unit 11a, a display production control unit 11b (including a ROM 11c and a RAM 11d), an LCD, an organic EL, an LED and the like. Display panel 11e. In this case, the ROM 11c is separately provided in the display effect control unit 11b, but there is no problem even if all the video data is stored in the ROM 161. Therefore, the ROM 11c may be considered as a part of the ROM 161.

  FIG. 14 is an effect pattern table, which associates effect commands with effect pattern data stored in the ROM.

  The effect command is made up of 1-byte long mode data and 1-byte long event data, and is associated with effect pattern data (mainly moving images, but still images) that is effect contents. .

  When the sub-control unit 160 receives control data necessary for various controls from the main control unit 100 (especially, various data indicating a big hit, a small hit, a replay or a loss of the random number lottery result are included). Before notifying the result of the lottery, an appropriate effect command corresponding to the control data is transmitted to the display effect device 11 side, and the command receiving unit 11a receives this effect command and sends it to the display effect control unit 11b.

  When the display effect control unit 11b receives the effect command, the effect pattern data corresponding to the effect command is displayed by reading the effect pattern data corresponding to the effect command from the ROM 11c, expanding the data in the RAM 11d, and transmitting the data to the display panel 11e. It is configured to display on screen.

  15 to 17 are schematic diagrams of the effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

  When the sub-control unit 160 transmits, for example, ($ Z0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e mainly indicates a state where there is no stock of the pseudo bonus or a state where it is difficult to win the pseudo bonus. Display pattern 0 ”is displayed (see FIG. 15A). On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ Y0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e displays a high probability stage indicating a state where there is a stock of pseudo bonus or a high probability state where the pseudo bonus is easy to win. “Night effect pattern 0” is displayed (see FIG. 15B). Therefore, the player expects or longs to display the "night production stage" which mainly indicates the high probability state during the game. However, even if there is no pseudo bonus stock or there is a non-high probability state, you can display the "night production stage" or the opposite, if there is a pseudo bonus stock or a high probability state, you can use the "day production stage". It may be displayed. The pseudo bonus is a special game in which the assist function is activated, and the release of the pseudo bonus starts the assist bonus.

  Further, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ S0 $ 00) as a production command, the display panel 11e superimposes "Dracula Castle" which is an image corresponding to "castle production pattern 0" on the background screen of the blue sky. It is designed to be displayed (see FIG. 15 (A)) or to be superimposed on the background screen of moonlit night (see FIG. 17 (B)), after which bats of yellow, red, blue, etc. pop out from Dracula's castle. Then, a notification image corresponding to the winning combination (small winning combination or replay) is displayed (see FIG. 15C).

  When the effect of FIG. 15 (B) is developed in multiple stages, it is a precursor effect in which there is a stock of pseudo bonus and the release probability is high, or the expectation of pseudo bonus release is high or confirmed. For example, FIG. 16 (A) shows a state in which the outer gate of “Dracula's Castle” is enlarged and the iron gate is about to open. The door is expanded by invading Dracula's castle (see FIG. 16 (B)), the door is gradually opened (see FIG. 16 (C)), and the inside of the gorgeous “Dracula's Castle” is displayed (FIG. 16). (D)). After that, it develops into a battle between the protagonist and Count Dracula of the vampire, and if the protagonist wins, the pseudo bonus stock will be confirmed and the release of the pseudo bonus will be confirmed.

  From the state where the normal screen at night in FIG. 17 (A) (same as FIG. 15 (B)) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, the graveyard is expanded, and the butler of the character screams “Orya”. Along with the sound effect of "Tirororororone," the character of the main character appears from the tomb hole in the center of the screen that was dug up (see FIG. 17 (B)), and the character "BONUS" that means "big hit" is displayed ( 17 (C)), a premium effect may be obtained. All of these display effects are also executed by receiving control commands and event data from the main control unit 100 and outputting the effect commands according to the program by the sub control unit 160.

  FIG. 18 is a conceptual diagram of a general lottery table.

  The lottery table is stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 101 and defines the relationship between the winning combination and the number of units used for random number lottery.

  In the case of the spinning drum type game machine of the present invention, the main control unit 100 generates a random value. This random number value is such that all the values of 0 to 65535 (m7) are randomly generated only once in one cycle (about 6.5 ms). FIG. 18A is a lottery table used in a normal state (non-RT state) with a high probability of loss, and when the main control unit 100 makes an internal lottery at the timing when the start lever 9 is operated, it is disturbed. If the value is in the range of 0 to m1, the big bonus (BB) is won. That is, this internal lottery is to pick up (extract) only one random number value at the time of the start operation and compare it with the lottery table to determine the winning combination.

  Similarly, the regular bonus (RB) is in the range of random numbers m1 + 1 to m2, the cherry is in the range of random numbers m2 + 1 to m3, the watermelon is in the range of random numbers m3 + 1 to m4, and the bell is in the range of random numbers m4 + 1 to m5. And the replay is won when the random number value is in the range of m5 + 1 to m6, while the replay is lost when the random number value is in the range of m6 + 1 to m7.

  Usually, these numerical values of m1 to m7 are appropriately set in consideration of legal regulations (wind management law) and game characteristics, but the BB winning probability is about 1/400 and the RB winning probability is 1/300. The winning probability of cherry and watermelon is about 1/50, the winning probability of Bell is about 1/6, and the winning probability of replay is 1 / 7.3. Although BB and RB win independently, they may win at the same time as a rare role.

  On the other hand, FIG. 18B is a lottery table used in the high-probability replay state (RT state), in which the win range of the replay is widened by α in the replay time, while the range that is lost is narrowed by α. As a result, the probability of winning the replay is reduced to about "1/2". As a result, the probability of winning a replay corresponding to a three-card dividend is significantly increased, while the probability of losing is reduced, so that the expected payout value of game medals is significantly improved or increased in the replay time. . Further, the main control unit 100 can set the expected value of the replay time to a desired value by increasing or decreasing this α value.

  Although a detailed drawing of the lottery table is omitted, there are six lottery tables 1, lottery tables 2 ... lottery tables 6 corresponding to the stage setting values 1 to 6 of the payout rate and the inserted medals (regulated number), and the main control unit. Selects a lottery table according to the stage set value set by the stage setting unit 150 and the number of inserted medals, and executes a bonus game and an internal lottery of a plurality of small wins in the variable display game. Note that the expected value for winning the bonus game in the internal lottery is generally lottery table 1 <lottery table 2 <... <lottery table 6, so the player pursues a high setting table. However, if it is a machine for exclusive use of three coins, a lottery table for one coin is not necessary.

  FIG. 19 is a payout table showing the relationship between the combination of symbols and the number of acquired medals.

  BB (Big Bonus) is a role name when the BB symbols of "Red 7" are aligned on the activated line, and when the internal winning is achieved, a flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and when the symbols are aligned, the number of medals acquired. Is 0, the player enters a big bonus game (BB game: operation of the accessory continuous operation device), and ends after paying out more than 360 pieces.

  RB (Regular Bonus) is a role name when the RB symbols of "Blue 7" are lined up on the activated line, and when the internal winning is made, a flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area and the number of medals acquired when these lines are lined up. Is 0, the player enters a regular bonus game (RB game: operation of the accessory continuous operation device), and ends after paying out more than 120 coins. Note that these accessory continuous actuating devices may be either the first type special effects or the second type special effects, and are appropriately selected according to design specifications.

  When the cherry symbols stop on the activated line of the left drum, one medal is won per activated line. For example, in the case of the display determination diagram of FIG. 14, the number of payout lines is one if the middle stage of the left drum is stopped, but if there are upper or lower stages, the number of payout lines is two and the total payout is two. When the watermelon symbols are aligned on the activated line, 5 medals are won. When the bell symbols are aligned on the activated line, 8 medals are won.

  When the replay combination is internally won, flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and any replay operation symbol is always aligned on the activated line (also referred to as a replay combination winning prize). When the re-replay operation symbol is displayed, the re-play without medals is activated, the re-play is performed by the operation of the start lever 9 by the player, and the flag is lowered (that is, 0). That is, the next game can be played without inserting medals. The timing of lowering the flag is arbitrary.

  Next, the basic operation of the spinning drum type gaming machine configured as described above will be described with reference to a flowchart and the like.

  First, in the state where the spinning drum type game machine is shipped from the factory, as a default, the warning mode is “ON state” when the stage setting operation of the payout rate is performed, and the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) is “ It is assumed that "OFF" and the lowest step setting value is "1".

  Before the game hall is played by the player, when the front door of the rotating body type gaming machine main body 1 is opened and the power switch 28c is turned on, power is supplied to each circuit block, and the main controller 100 will be described later. In step S100, initial check (hardware abnormality check, etc.) and initial setting (for example, stop setting flag “1”, step setting value “1” stored in ROM 101 and initial value of control data are written in RAM 102) Then, the sub control unit 160 sets the warning mode to the "on state", and when the front door 1b is closed, the variable display game can be played.

  In this state, it is assumed that the game hall side is going to change the setting of the payout rate in this setting state due to a grand opening, a newly opened store, or an event.

  FIG. 20 is a flow chart showing a main operation processing procedure of the rotating body type gaming machine.

  An employee of the gaming hall opens the front door of the rotating body type gaming machine main body 1 to temporarily turn off the power switch 28c, inserts the setting change key into the setting key switch 28a, and turns it to the right to turn it on (FIG. 2). Setting key switch (see the enlarged view) and turning on the power switch 28c again, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after the initial check and the initial setting are executed in step S100, the main controller 100 executes the steps. In S110, it is determined whether the setting key switch 28a is in the ON state.

  If the setting key switch 28a is not in the ON state, the main control unit 100 moves to step S130, while if it is in the ON state, calls the setting change subroutine in step S120 (moves to the setting change mode).

  In the setting change mode of step S120, the game hall side inputs the stage setting value "6" with the highest payout rate before making the player play, hits the start lever 9 once to confirm the setting value, and the setting key switch When 28a is turned off, the main control unit 100 returns to step S100, sets the setting value to "6", and again performs necessary processing such as initial check and initial setting of the hardware.

  Further, when the main control unit 100 outputs the control data to the sub control unit 160 in order to set the display of the initial screen in step S100, the sub control unit 160 displays, for example, ($ Y0 $ 01) as an effect command. It is transmitted to the rendering device 11. As a result, the display panel 11e displays a "night production pattern 1" including a full moon, Dracula's castle, and a graveyard screen in the night sky as a start screen (not shown).

  When the process proceeds to step S130 after changing the step setting value, the main control unit 100 checks for the occurrence of an abnormality such as a door open, a hopper error, a selector error, and if there is an abnormality, the process proceeds to step S140 and the abnormality process is performed again. While returning to step S100, if there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S150. In particular, the main control unit 100, as the abnormality check, the data of the stage setting value stored in the work RAM area is 0 to 5 (the stage setting values displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c correspond to 1 to 6, respectively). ), If the step setting value is not within the predetermined range, the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12 and the game state display LED unit 13 warn (character display of "EE" error). , Light emission and warning sound) to perform error processing (abnormal processing in step S140).

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S150, it determines whether the player has inserted the required number of game medals for the game by the medal detection sensor 130 or the bet button sensor 140, and when a predetermined number has been inserted. In step S160, while the process proceeds to step S160, if not inserted, the process returns to step S130, and waits while looping each step until a medal insertion operation is performed.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S160, the main control unit 100 checks whether or not the player operates the start lever to start the variable display game. If the player has started the variation display game, the process proceeds to step S170 while starting. If not, the process returns to step S130, and waits while looping each step until the start operation is performed.

  The main control unit 100 executes the main processing of the variable display game in step S170, performs random number lottery in accordance with the reception timing of the start signal, and picks up (extracts) the random number value and the current internal state (RT or non-RT). It is determined whether or not an internal win has been made by comparing with the lottery table (see FIG. 18).

  The main control unit 100 sends a lottery result command and a game start signal to the sub control unit 160, and simultaneously rotates the drum units 2 to display a plurality of displayed images on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c. The variable display game is started in which the symbol is changed at a predetermined speed.

  As described in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the main control unit 100 allows the player to operate the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, or the right stop button 10c of the stop button unit 10 for each symbol row (rolling belt). When is stopped, the pull-in control for aligning the symbols according to the internal winning combination on the activated line and the avoidance control for not aligning the symbols on the contrary are performed. Further, when the sub-control unit 160 receives the lottery result command and the game start signal from the main control unit 100, the production lottery of whether or not to perform the production display on the display production device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. Then, the player is notified of the lottery result of a big hit (bonus winning), a small win, a replay or a loss according to the operation of the stop button unit 10. The main control unit 100 executes stop control with reference to the sliding frame number table.

  In each variable display game of the general game, the main control unit 100 determines that a winning combination is achieved when predetermined symbols are displayed side by side on the activated line of the window 3, and the payout table stored in the ROM 161 (see FIG. 19). ), A game medal is paid out from the medal payout device 18 and discharged from the medal payout opening 16 for a payout that is added as a credit or exceeds the storage upper limit value.

  In the big bonus game (BB game) in which three reds 7 are gathered, the BB game mode is ended when the winning device continuous operation device is activated and the number of acquired images exceeds 360. Further, in the regular bonus game (RB game) in which three blue 7 symbols are gathered, the RB game mode is ended when the winning character continuous operation device is activated and the number of acquired images exceeds 120. .

  Then, when the game main process of step S170 ends, the main control unit 100 returns to step S130 and repeats the sequential process.

  Next, the operation of the spinning drum type game machine basically configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, the flowchart and the like. In particular, a spinning drum type game machine in which the winning probability of replay varies and which is equipped with an actual bonus and an assist bonus (ART, third bonus, pseudo bonus, etc.) will be described.

  The present invention has at least the characteristic configurations having the patentability of (1) to (22). (1) Stock lottery during the pseudo bonus. (2) When the real bonus is won during the pseudo bonus, after the end of the real bonus, the pseudo bonus waiting state of the same color is passed, the promotion lottery is performed, and the pseudo bonus is started from the 0th sheet again. (3) In the normal gaming state after the pseudo bonus, stock lottery (back stock number and released stock number and type) is performed using the stock lottery table according to the role lottery result for each game. A bonus release lottery is executed according to the number of games. (4) If there is no back stock, no bonus is released even if the bonus release lottery is won, but in the release ceiling game (777G), a pseudo bonus is released even if there is no back stock. (5) When releasing the pseudo bonus, the color of the design is changed by repeatedly hitting the special button when the white 7 REP is won. (6) Assuming that the pseudo BB (rainbow color) is determined, the sub-control unit 160 preliminarily determines the number of operations of the special button 14 for each color to be changed, and displays the color determination screen. , The special button 14 is repeatedly pressed. For example, the number of operations of color change timing is determined in advance, such as white → yellow by three times, then yellow → green by five times, then green → red by seven times by lottery. The emission color of the display LED is controlled. When White 7 Replay is not won, the design in the V-shaped position marked with a star in the figure also changes to 4 colors. (7) On the other hand, when the start lever 9 is operated without operating the special button 14 in the state where the game medium is inserted by the replay winning, the top lamp emits light and blinks in the determined color. (8) If a real bonus is internally won during the pseudo bonus or stock time, a long-term pseudo bonus standby state is entered after the real bonus game ends, and promotion lottery is performed. Every 10 games in this pseudo bonus standby state, a pseudo bonus self-ranking lottery is performed, and when the special button 14 is pressed with the operation enabled (the internal LED is blinking), the winning lottery is drawn at that timing. Is executed. (9) There is a feature in the stock method, and the number of back stocks and types are drawn by a lottery trigger to determine the number of released stocks. (10) In the RT1 state, the RT3 transfer rip is simultaneously won with the actual bonus → the RT3 state does not shift from the RT1 state to RT3, and thus the actual bonus winning is found. (11) When the actual bonus is internally won and the middle row cherry is won, the cherry symbol is stopped at the corner (upper row or lower row), and the result of the weak or strong che is displayed on the reel. (12) The pseudo bonus is back-stocked, and the actual bonus is announced immediately or in several G's and aligned. (13) The stock release lottery is performed when the final bonus operation buttons of the stop button section 10 are released when the actual bonus symbols are gathered. (14) There is a reach eye replay role that is won in the hand lottery during the normal game, and the reach eye is displayed by the stop operation. When the pseudo bonus is won in the pseudo game, the same reach eye is pseudo stopped by the stop operation. (15) When the reach replay is won during the pseudo bonus, if the release lottery is not won, the right press is a normal lip, and if the win is won, no effect is produced. (16) Back stock: The winning rate of the pseudo ST is lowered during normal operation to make it difficult to win, the winning rate of the pseudo ST is raised during the pseudo BB, and the newly won portion is sequentially released. Effect: A pseudo ST loop can be created in the pseudo BB. (17) In the RT2 state, there is no loss. The reason is that the RT2 state is a mere passage section necessary for shifting to the RT3 state, and therefore the loss area is eliminated in order to widen the winning area of the RT3 transition replay. (18) In the RT3 state, the winning area of the replay combination is narrowed to have an area which is lost at 655/65536 (about 1/100). The reason is that it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation by giving the illusion of being a reach eye by giving a lost eye. (19) The winning probability of the pseudo ST greatly differs between the normal gaming state and the pseudo bonus gaming state, and the latter has a much higher winning probability than the former. The types of pseudo bonuses that have been stocked are stored in the order in which they were stocked, and the pseudo bonus that was stored latest is released first. (20) In the pseudo ST, 50 games are executed in one set, but if no bonus stock is won in 50 games, one more set is added and 50 games continue from the beginning. (21) While waiting for the actual bonus (inside), not only does the freezer lottery even if the middle-tier cherry hand wins internally, the stop control is changed to stop the cherry symbol in the upper or lower tier, The middle-tier cherry combination is displayed as a double cherry combination or a triple cherry combination. (22) When the reach replay is won during the pseudo bonus, the stock lottery is performed, and the pushing order is not displayed when the winning is won, but the right first pushing order is displayed when the winning is lost. At this time, when the player performs the right first operation, the middle replay is displayed, so the reach eye does not appear, but when the left first operation or the middle first operation is performed, the reach eye is displayed to notify the stock winning. It has become.

  FIG. 21 is a symbol layout of the drum.

  Each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c has a rotating drum band (not shown) in which the left drum design, the middle drum design, and the right drum design are drawn so as to make one round at the outer peripheral portion of each drum. It is attached to.

  Each turn belt has a different pattern (white seven design, blue seven design, BAR design, bell design, cherry design, watermelon 1 design, watermelon 2 design, replay 1 design, replay 2 design, replay 3 design) 21 are arranged.

  FIG. 22 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  The main control unit 100, when all three drum units 2 are stopped, performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of inserted game medals (FIG. 22 ( See A)). However, in all the games (normal games, assist games, bonus games, etc.), description will be made assuming that the specified number is three.

  FIG. 22 (B) is an effective line when a prescribed number of game medals is inserted, and the first line (middle row, middle row, middle row: central horizontal line) in the order of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c. ) Is only valid. In other words, in all games, three cards are always inserted, and the center horizontal one line.

  FIG. 23 is a payout table at the time of normal operation and bonus operation. FIG. 24 is a schematic diagram showing a symbol display state of the window portion.

  When all three reels (rotating drums or drums) are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the activated line (see FIG. 22).

  (1) Bonus 1 (type 1 continuous effect device): The left drum 2a (blue 7), the middle drum 2b (blue 7), and the right drum 2c (blue 7) are stopped on the same line. Then, the number of acquired sheets is 0, and the bonus 1 is given thereafter (BB1 operates). The bonus 1 has a winning probability of 1/1000, for example, and ends when the prescribed number of inserted games in the bonus 1 exceeds 3 and the number of payouts exceeds 360. When the bonus 1 is internally won in the lottery and the bonus 1 flag is set, the bonus 1 can be won. If bonus 1 is won internally and the prize cannot be won, the carry-on state (RT4) in which the bonus 1 is internally won is set after the next game, but the replay winning probability in each game is about 1 until bonus 1 is won. It becomes about / 2. The operation pattern of bonus 1 is displayed (bonus 1 is won), and after the bonus game is finished, the initial replay state (replay winning probability 1 / 7.3: RT0) is returned.

  (2) Bonus 2 (first type accessory continuous operation device): When the left drum 2a (blue 7), the middle drum 2b (blue 7), and the right drum 2c (BAR) are aligned on the activated line and stopped. , The number of acquired sheets is 0, and bonus 2 (BB2) is given (operated) after that. The bonus 2 has a winning probability of about 1/500, for example, and ends when the prescribed number of coins in the game in the bonus 2 exceeds 3 and the number of payouts exceeds 180. When the bonus 2 is internally won in the lottery and the bonus 2 flag is set, the bonus 2 can be won. In addition, when the bonus 2 is internally won, the replay winning probability in the subsequent game is about ½, like the bonus 1. That is, the carry-over state in which the bonus 2 is internally won is RT4. After the end of the bonus game in which the bonus 2 is activated, the initial replay state (the replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3: RT0) is returned. The combined probability of the actual bonuses (bonus 1 and bonus 2) is 3/1000.

  (3) Middle stage bell: This is the role name when the bell symbols are stopped in line on the effective line of each drum, and the number of obtained coins is 14.

  (4) Lower right bell: For example, when the left drum 2a (replay 2), the middle drum 2b (bell), and the right drum 2c (replay 2) are stopped on the same line, the bell pattern is down to the right. It is displayed and the bell at the bottom right wins. The number of medals (game media) that can be obtained is 14.

  (5) Upper stage bell: For example, when the left drum 2a (replay 2), the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c (watermelon 2) are stopped in line on the activated line, a bell symbol is displayed on the upper stage. , Upper bell wins. The number of medals (game media) that can be obtained is 14.

  (6) Upper stage watermelon: For example, when the left drum 2a (blue 7), the middle drum 2b (BAR), and the right drum 2c (cherry) are stopped on the same line, the watermelon pattern is displayed on the upper stage. The upper watermelon wins. The number of medals (game media) to be acquired is five.

  (7) Lower right watermelon: For example, (bell) on the left drum 2a, (watermelon 2) on the middle drum 2b, and (Replay 2) on the right drum 2c are stopped on the effective line, and the watermelon pattern is on the right downhill. It is displayed and the lower right watermelon wins. The number of medals (game media) to be acquired is five.

  (8) Double cherries (weak cherries): For example, when No. 18 (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (Cherry) on the middle drum 2b, and (Replay 2) on the right drum 2c are stopped on the effective line, Two cherry symbols are displayed on the right, and two cherries are won. The number of medals (game media) to be acquired is two.

  (9) Triple cherries (strong cherries): For example, when the left drum 2a has the number 18 (BAR), the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c (blue seven) are stopped on the same line, Three cherry symbols are displayed on the right and three consecutive cherries will be won. The number of medals (game media) to be acquired is two. Note that (white seven) may stop on the right drum 2c.

  (10) Middle Cherry: For example, when the left drum 2a has the number 19 (cherry), the middle drum 2b has the number 13 (BAR), and the right drum 2c has the number 4 (white 7) on the activated line, the stops. , Middle-tier cherry wins. The number of medals (game media) to be acquired is two. It is possible to display all three BAR symbols on the right side. The middle-tier cherry character is a trigger for the freeze lottery, and when the winning is won, the freeze effect (reel lock and reel effect) is performed, and the pseudo bonus is immediately released without passing the precursor effect.

  (11) Multiple types of single-use roles: For example, when the left drum 2a (replay 2), the middle drum 2b (replay 2), and the right drum 2c (BAR) are stopped on the effective line, one role 1 wins. The number of medals (game media) to be acquired is one. This single-role combination is a small role for stop control, and there are a plurality of types from one-role combination 1 to one-role n (n is a natural number of 2 or more). Is omitted.

  (12) Normal replay (replay A): This is a role name when the replay symbols (replay 1 to 3) are aligned on the activated line for each drum, and no medals are obtained for this, but the number of bets in that game The next game can be played while maintaining. It is effective to arrange the games consecutively after the next game, and it is possible to continue playing without consuming coins until the game in which the replay is not established. The effect of automatically inserting medals before the start of the game is performed, and the player can operate the start lever 9 to play the next game. When the normal replay is independently won in the random number lottery, the RP1 flag is set in the flag area, and the replay symbol is always displayed. From the appearance, the replay patterns are aligned in a straight line in the center. The replay probability does not change even if the operation pattern of the replay A is displayed.

  (13) Normal replay (replay B): For example, a role when the left drum 2a (bell), the middle drum 2b (replay 2), and the right drum 2c (bell) are aligned on the activated line, On the other hand, no medals are obtained, but the next game can be played while maintaining the bet number of the game. From the appearance, the replay patterns are aligned in a straight line to the upper right. Even if the operation pattern of the re-game B is displayed, the re-game probability does not change.

  (14) RT1 transition replay (replay 1): This is a role name when the left drum 2a (bell), the middle drum 2b (bell), and the right drum 2c (replay 2) are aligned on the activated line. On the other hand, no medals are obtained, but the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. When the RT1 transition replay is internally won in the random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the re-game 1 is activated and the re-game probability changes, and the state shifts to the RT1 state.

  (15) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): A role when the left drum 2a (watermelon design), the middle drum 2b (replay design), and the right drum 2c (bell) are aligned on the activated line, On the other hand, no medals are obtained, but the next game can be played while maintaining the bet number of the game. From the appearance, the replay pattern is displayed in a small V shape. RT2 transition replay is internally won in the random number lottery, and when this replay symbol is displayed, the re-game 2 is activated and the re-game probability changes, and the state shifts to the RT2 state.

  (16) RT3 transition replay (replay 3): It is a role when the left drum 2a (bell), the middle drum 2b (replay pattern), and the right drum 2c (replay 2) are aligned on the activated line, On the other hand, no medals are obtained, but the next game can be played while maintaining the bet number of the game. When the RT3 transition replay is internally won in the random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the re-game 3 operates and the re-game probability changes, and the state shifts to the RT3 state. The RT3 transition replay is internally won even in the RT1 state, and this replay symbol is displayed and the replay 3 is activated, but in the RT1 state, the bonus combination (bonus 1 or bonus 2) is always won at the same time. As a result, since the bonus combination cannot be won (the symbol is not displayed), even if the RT3 transition replay symbol is displayed during the normal game, the game state is RT4 (RT inside bonus combination) which is the carry-over state described above. Even if the advanced player wins the RT3 transition replay in the RT1 state, he / she does not shift to the RT3 state in which the replay probability is approximately 2/3, but detects that the replay probability transits in the RT4 state in which it is approximately 1/2. , It is recognized that the bonus combination is internally won (effect). There is no other gaming machine having such a characteristic configuration and exhibiting a unique effect.

  (17) White 7 replay: This is the role name when the left drum 2a (white 7), the middle drum 2b (white 7), and the right drum 2c (white 7) are aligned on the activated line. , When the symbol is displayed, the re-game is activated. White 7 replay wins at the same time as a plurality of other types of replay combinations for stop control (or for push order control), and the stop button unit 10 is operated (operation) aiming at the white 7 design in a predetermined push order. When the specific operation including the order and the operation timing is performed), the white 7 symbols are displayed in a straight line along the center (see FIG. 24 (A)). On the other hand, if the white 7 symbols are not available, one of the other replay combinations that are simultaneously won will always win.

  (18) White BAR replay: This is the role when the fifth drum (bell) on the left drum 2a, the white drum 7 on the middle drum 2b, and the white drum 7 on the right drum 2c are on the activated line. On, the game is activated when the symbol is displayed. This white BAR replay is won at the same time as a plurality of other types of replay combinations for stop control (or for push order control), and the stop button unit 10 is operated aiming at the white 7 symbol in a predetermined push order ( When the specific operation including the operation order and the operation timing is performed), the white 7 symbol, the white 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol are displayed in a straight line in the downward right direction (see FIG. 24 (B)). On the other hand, even if it is not displayed in this way, one of the other replay roles that is simultaneously won always wins.

  (19) BAR replay: It is a role name when the left drum 2a (BAR), the middle drum 2b (BAR), and the right drum 2c (BAR) are aligned on the activated line, and the symbols are displayed as above. When it is done, the re-game operates. The BAR replay wins at the same time as a plurality of other types of replay combinations for stop control (or for push order control), and the stop button unit 10 is operated to aim at the BAR symbol in a predetermined push order (operation sequence and operation. When a specific operation including the timing is performed), the BAR symbols are displayed in a straight line along the center (see FIG. 24 (C)). On the other hand, if the BAR symbols are not gathered, any of the other replay combinations that are simultaneously won always wins.

  The white 7 replay and the white BAR replay are re-play combinations used when releasing the pseudo bonus (special game 1 and special game 2). Specifically, if special game 1 (pseudo BB) is won, wait for White 7 replay to win internally (promotion standby state), and if White 7 replay wins internally, aim to hit White 7 symbol by reverse pressing When an instruction (notifying a specific operation) is made and the player operates it correctly, the white 7 symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center (see FIG. 24 (A)). In particular, in White 7 replay, there are 5 game states that are stocked during the bonus game and have different winning probabilities of the pseudo bonus that is settled to be released, and in order to notify the player of this, the White 7 symbol is changed to 5 colors. Change. More specifically, the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c of the drum unit 2 have three drums inside, which are composed of red LEDs, green LEDs, and blue LEDs and can emit light in any color. There are three display LEDs for each drum, a total of nine display LEDs, and the sub-control unit 160, in accordance with the number of times the special button 14 is operated, the three rotary body symbol display LEDs corresponding to the activated line are white → The emission color is changed from yellow → green → red → rainbow. To the player, the white 7 pattern changes to 5 colors in order from white to 5 colors in accordance with the light emission color of the spinning body pattern display LED, so that the player will be excited and entertained (detailed later).

  Similarly, if special game 2 (pseudo RB) is won, wait for the white BAR replay to be internally won (promotion standby state), and if the white BAR replay is internally won without being promoted, press the reverse key to aim for the white 7 symbol. Thus, when the player gives a proper instruction (specific operation is informed) and the player operates correctly, the white 7 symbol, the white 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol are displayed in a straight line descending to the right (see FIG. 24 (B)). In particular, BAR replay, when moving to a special extra game called stock time for stocking the pseudo bonus, instructing to aim the BAR symbol by reverse pressing (notifying specific operation), the player is correct When operated, the BAR symbols are displayed in a straight line along the center (see FIG. 24 (C)).

  (20) Reach eyes Replays 1 to 5: either left drum 2a (replay 3), middle drum 2b (watermelon 2 / white 7 / cherry), or right drum 2c (replay 2) on the effective line In the same manner, the re-game is activated when the symbol is displayed. This reach replay is won simultaneously with a plurality of other types of replay combinations for stop control (or for push order control), and is operated by aiming at the BAR symbol in a predetermined left-first scissors push order, It seems that all the symbols, replay symbols and bell symbols are in a tempai state, but the middle stop button 10b is operated (specific operation including the operation sequence and operation timing) aiming at the 13th BAR symbol at the 3rd stop. However, any of the BAR symbol, the replay symbol, or the bell symbol does not stop on the effective line and becomes a loose eye (see FIG. 24D). There are 12 types of such reach-eye replays, 1 to 12, and when the reach-eye is displayed, a bonus win is achieved. In other words, despite the fact that three different symbols have been tempted, none of them wins the prize, thereby announcing that the bonus has been won (other reach reach replays are omitted). In the RT3 state, the probability that any of the reach replays 1 to 5 will be internally won is relatively high at about 1/28, and when the reach is not displayed during the pseudo bonus, the main control unit 100 performs a reverse push operation ( Right 1st operation) is instructed, and the sub-control unit 160 displays the right 1st push order screen. When the player makes a stop operation on the first right, the middle tier replay will be won. On the other hand, when the player performs the left 1st operation or the middle 1st operation, one of 12 reach eyes described below is displayed.

  (21) Push-down small win (push-down bell win) Kobo (1 to m): A special pattern (falling pattern) that is displayed on the activated line when the bell win is missed by the push-order small win to be described later. , When one of the special symbols is displayed, the replay probability changes, and the state shifts to the RT1 state. For example, when the left drum 2a (bell), the middle drum 2b (bell), and the right drum 2c (watermelon symbol) are displayed on the activated line (display of the falling symbol), the game state shifts to the RT1 state. (Others omitted).

  FIG. 25 and FIG. 26 are combination tables (simultaneous winning patterns of small winning combinations) of condition devices for a small winning combination in pressing order (middle first or right first).

  The push order small win always wins the bell small win (middle bell or lower right bell) when the operation order of the stop button section 10 (press order of the stop button section 10) is correct, while it is incorrect. There is a case where you win one of the multiple types of small wins that are simultaneously won, and sometimes you display one of the multiple Koboshi eyes (the missing pattern of the bell small win). It is a small role.

  In the push order bell 1, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small win of the left stop button 10a. There are 9 types of push order bell 1-1 to push order bell 1-9 in the push order bell 1, so that the player does not drop one role by looking at the reel roll (stop pattern). , The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the design. Push order bell 1 is a push order small win of the double push order type. The first small win is for winning the prize (bell win: FUR1), and the second small win is for blocking the winning of the first small win. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, six types of single small wins (FUR11 to FUR16: Replay 2-Replay 2-BAR, ... Replay 1-Replay 3-Watermelon 2)) and the first small The third small role that constitutes the third small role for the purpose of inhibiting the winning of the winning combination (FUR3: either the left drum (watermelon 1 / watermelon 2), the middle drum bell, the right drum (white 7 / watermelon) It is a winning combination that can be won in any of the four types of symbol combination display (see the push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 25).

  In the pushing order bell 2, the correct first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent correct answer second stop operation is the small push order of the right stop button 10c. The push order bell 2 has nine types, the push order bell 2-1 to the push order bell 2-9. Therefore, like the push order bell 1, the player sees the result (stop pattern) of each reel 1 It is not possible to operate the stop button portion 10 aiming at the design so as not to lose the single hand.

  In the push order bell 3, the right stop button 10c is the first stop operation that is the correct answer, and the second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order subordinate of the left stop button 10a. The push order bell 3 has nine types of push order bell 3-1 to push order bell 3-9. Therefore, like the push order bell 1, the player looks at the result (stop pattern) of each reel to see 1 It is not possible to operate the stop button portion 10 aiming at the design so as not to lose the single hand.

  In the push order bell 4, the right stop button 10c is the first stop operation that is the correct answer, and the second stop operation that is the correct answer is the small press order of the middle stop button 10b. The push order bell 4 has nine types from the push order bell 4-1 to the push order bell 4-9. Therefore, like the push order bell 1, the player looks at the result (stopping pattern) of each reel 1 It is not possible to operate the stop button portion 10 aiming at the design so as not to lose the single hand. In addition, there is one type of 3-option bell (1st push order bell on the left side) that wins the bell role when the first stop operation is correct, as the push order bell role. In this case, if the small bell is dropped and the texture is displayed, the process moves to RT1, but since FUR3 and FUR4 of push order bell 1 to push order bell 4 are not won, the explanation with the drawing is omitted. In other words, the push-order bell combination is essentially a 5-choice bell-combination in which the winning order is to be won.

  FIG. 27 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the push order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. 25 by random number lottery, as described above, the condition devices FUR1 + FR3 + FR11 to FR16 are simultaneously activated (eight different small wins are simultaneously operated. Based on the operation order information (213), it is determined that the operation order of middle → left → right is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes the stop calculation process based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information so that the player can immediately perform the stop control no matter what time and at which timing the stop button unit 10 is operated. Then, create a sliding frame number table. Further, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, the sliding frame number table is similarly created (see FIG. 10).

  FIG. 27A shows a state in which all the drum parts 2 are rotating from top to bottom. When the player performs the first stop operation of the middle stop button 10b in the correct operation sequence in the state of FIG. 27A, the main control unit 100 refers to the slide frame number table and sets the corresponding slide frame number data. Based on this, the middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw the bell symbol into the effective line (simply, the drum unit 2 is moved by the number of sliding frames). FIG. 27B). In the state of FIG. 27B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c may be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation on the left stop button 10a in the correct operation sequence, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and, based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, 0 to 4 frames. In the range of, the left drum 2a is stopped, and control for drawing the bell symbol into the effective line is performed (see FIG. 27C). In the state of FIG. 27 (C), the FUR1 is in tempo. The main control unit 100 creates a table of the number of sliding frames after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated, and when the right stop button 10c in the correct operation sequence is operated by the third stop operation, The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and controls the pulling of the bell symbol to the effective line (Fig. 27 (D)).

  FIG. 28 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the windows in time series. However, since FIGS. 28A and 28B are the same as FIGS. 27A and 27B, duplicate description will be omitted.

  In the state of FIG. 28B in which the first stop operation is correct, the main control unit 100 creates the sliding frame number table after the first stop operation, and the player stops the right stop button 10c in the incorrect operation order. When the second stop operation is performed, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and the white 7 symbol Alternatively, control for pulling one of the replay 2 symbols into the effective line is performed (see FIG. 28C). In the state of FIG. 28 (C), the FUR3 is in a temporary state. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the left stop button 10a may be operated, and when the player performs the third stop operation of the left stop button 10a, the main control The section 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and activates either the watermelon 1 pattern or the watermelon 2 pattern as an effective line. Control for pulling in (see FIG. 28D). In the above example, when the first stop operation is the correct answer, either FUR1 or FUL3 is sure to win, but by arranging the FUL symbols at intervals of 5 frames or more, FUL3 may be missed. You can also

  FIG. 29 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the windows in time series. However, since FIG. 29 (A) is the same as FIG. 27 (A), duplicate description will be omitted.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the right stop button 10c in the incorrect operation sequence in the state of FIG. 29A, the main control unit 100 refers to the slide frame number table, and the corresponding slide frame number data. On the basis of the above, the right drum 2c is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and the control for always pulling any one of the BAR symbol, the blue seven symbol or the watermelon 2 symbol into the effective line is performed (Fig. 29 (B )reference). In this case, since the BAR symbol is stopped on the activated line, there is a possibility that only one of FUR11 and FUR14 will be won at this point. In the state of FIG. 29B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b may be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation on the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and moves to the left in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The drum 2a is stopped, and if there is a replay 2 symbol within the pull-in range, control for pulling the symbol to the effective line is performed (see FIG. 29 (C)). In the state of FIG. 29C, both the FUR 11 and the FUR 14 are in tempo. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the player performs the third stop operation on the middle stop button 10b, the main control is performed. The section 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and activates either Replay 2 symbol or Replay 3 symbol as an effective line. The pull-in control is performed (see FIG. 29D). On the other hand, when neither the Replay 2 symbol nor the Replay 3 symbol can be drawn into the activated line, the depression order of the push order small winning combination is displayed (not shown).

  FIG. 30 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series. However, since FIG. 30 (A) is the same as FIG. 27 (A), duplicate description will be omitted.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop button 10a in the incorrect operation sequence in the state of FIG. 30A, the main control unit 100 refers to the slide frame number table, and the corresponding slide frame number data. Based on the above, the middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and control for pulling any one of the Replay 1 symbol, the Replay 2 symbol and the Replay 3 symbol into the effective line is performed (FIG. 30 (B )reference). In this case, since the Replay 3 symbol is stopped on the activated line, there is a possibility that only FUR12 or FUR15 will be won at this point. In the state of FIG. 30 (B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c may be operated. There is. When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop button 10b, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, the left drum 2a in the range of 0 to 4 frames. Stop, and if there is a Replay 2 symbol or Replay 3 symbol within the pull-in range, control is performed to pull the symbol into the activated line. For example, the middle stop button at the timing when the 8th cherry symbol is located on the activated line. When 10b is operated, both Replay 2 symbol and Replay 3 symbol do not exist within 4 frames, so the 7th bell symbol is stopped on the activated line in order to display the depression order of the press order small win (Fig. 30 (C)). At this point, the chances of winning all the small roles have disappeared. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding piece number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated, and when the player performs the third stop operation on the right stop button 10c, The main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and presses the small order of push order (replay 3 symbol). , Bell design, bell design) is displayed to draw the bell design into the effective line (see FIG. 30D). The pushing order bell 2 shown in FIG. 25, the pushing order bell 3 and the pushing order bell 4 shown in FIG. 26 have the same logic as the stop control, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 31 is a game state transition diagram (RT state). FIG. 32 is a schematic diagram showing a symbol display state of the window portion.

  RT0 in the figure is an initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination (re-game combination) has not changed, and is a game or a bonus game (BB1 or BB2: 1) immediately after the stage setting value is reset. The general game is started from the next game in which the seed or the two-class auditors continuous actuating device) is finished and the initial state (also referred to as the “initial replay state”) is reached. The replay winning probability (replay probability) in this general game is about 1 / 7.3, and especially RT1 transition replay (replay 1), RT2 transition replay (replay 2) and RT3 transition replay (replay 3) Since the player does not win, in order to shift from this state to RT1, the above-mentioned press-order small winning combination must be displayed on the activated line. On the other hand, even if BB1 (bonus 1) or BB2 (bonus 2) is internally won, and it is finished by operating or paying out a predetermined number of coins according to the symbol display, only RT4, bonus game, and RT0 will be set, so this route also moves to RT1. It is not possible.

  In the general game in the RT0 state, if the push order small win is internally won and the stop pattern of the stop button 10 is missed and the texture pattern is displayed on the activated line, the RT1 state starts from the next game (continuation). The number of games is not fixed, that is, infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, and most of the winning combinations shown in FIG. 23 are randomly selected, and a single or multiple simultaneous winning is possible. In other words, the game in the initial state and the RT1 state is a game state in which the replay probabilities are almost the same, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is this RT1 state. However, the RT3 transition replay is won even in the RT1 state and the RT2 state, but in the RT1 state, since it is always won at the same time as either BB1 or BB2, the RT3 state is transitioned to the RT4 state without transitioning to the RT3 state. Therefore, when the RT3 transition replay symbol is displayed on the activated line in the RT1 state, the player can know that either BB1 or BB2 has been internally won (a unique action effect).

  When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state and the operation symbol is displayed on the activated line, the replay probability is increased to about 1 / 1.5, and the RT2 state is set. Also, in the RT2 state, the winning probabilities of the two bonus combinations and the small combination are about 1/3, so the winning probability of the bonus combination, the small combination and the replay combination is 1/1 (100%), and there is no loss at all. Become. The reason is that the RT2 state is a mere passing section necessary for shifting to the RT3 state, and therefore the loss area is eliminated in order to widen the winning area of the RT3 transition replay as much as possible.

  The RT1 transition replay (replay 1) is a function for promptly dropping to the RT1 state because the RT2 transition replay operates when the RT2 transition replay operates when the player accidentally presses the stop button section 10 irregularly (that is, , Has the same function as Kobo eyes) (fall replay).

  When the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won in the RT2 state and activated, the replay probability becomes substantially the same RT / state of 1 / 1.5. Further, the RT3 state is different in that the type of the replay combination to be won in the RT2 state and the size of the winning area are different. Then, the winning area of the replay combination is narrowed to have an area which is lost at 655/65536 (about 1/100). The reason is that it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation by giving a lost eye and making the player illusion that it is a reach eye. In the RT2 state or the RT3 state, when the square stitches of the role of bell are displayed on the activated line, the player falls to the RT1 state. Incidentally, in order not to fall from the RT3 state to the RT1 state, the RT1 transition replay is not won. On the other hand, in the RT3 state, the RT1 transition replay is won at the same time as either BB1 or BB2, and the player is internally won by either BB1 or BB2 by shifting to the RT4 state without shifting to the RT1 state. You can also notify (special effect).

  The actual bonus (bonus 1 and bonus 2) can be won in the initial state, the RT1 state, the RT2 state, and the RT3 state. Bonus 1 will be stopped when all of the drums are internally elected and aiming at the blue 7 symbol on each drum, and when the number of payouts exceeds the specified number after the operation (after bonus 1 game), the initial replay state Return to. The RT4 state is a state in which the bonus 1 is internally won (bonus carryover state), and it is possible to align the blue 7 symbols by pulling the gap in this state (see FIG. 32 (A)). The reason is that the main control unit 100 gives priority to the symbol of the replay combination that has been internally won over the blue 7 symbol (bonus symbol), and has given priority to the symbol of the internally winning small role rather than the blue 7 symbol. This is because the drum unit 2 is stop-controlled so as to be drawn on the effective line. In addition, if the blue 7 symbol is aimed at a timing when the symbol of the internal winning small winning combination cannot be drawn, it is possible to arrange the bonus symbols and stop them.

  Bonus 2 is the same as Bonus 1, when the player internally wins independently and aims at the blue 7 symbol, blue 7 symbol, and BAR symbol for each drum, it stops at the same time, and the number of payouts after operation (after bonus 2 game) When the number exceeds the specified number, the process ends and returns to the initial replay state. Further, the RT4 state is a state in which the bonus 2 is internally won, and by pulling the gap in this state, it is possible to align the blue 7 symbol, the blue 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol (see FIG. 32 (B)).

  FIG. 33 is a game state transition diagram (production state). 34 to 37 are schematic diagrams of the effect screen displayed by the display effect device. FIG. 38 is a schematic diagram showing a symbol display state of the window portion.

  The main control unit 100 controls the payout performance, while the sub control unit 160 controls the effect.

  When the step set value is reset, various data are cleared and set according to the set value to be in the initial state, and the normal game is started. The normal game state includes a normal state 1, a normal state 2, a high-accuracy state, and an ultra-high-accuracy state, which are selected by lottery. Note that this initial state is the RT0 state of FIG. 31, and when the unsuccessful eye of the push order small winning combination is displayed, it becomes the RT1 state. That is, the normal game is played in the states of RT0 and RT1, and becomes the state of RT1 via RT0 even after the end of the actual bonus.

  The sub control unit 160 switches and displays the effect images displayed on the display effect device 11 according to the game state. FIG. 34A is a daytime stage screen, which is mainly used in a state (normal state 1 or normal state 2) in which the probability of winning the pseudo bonus (third bonus or assist bonus) is low. FIG. 34 (B) is a night stage screen, which is displayed mainly because it is used in a state where the probability of winning the pseudo bonus is extremely high (super-high probability state) or in an internally won state (release winning state). Then, the player is uplifted with the expectation of pseudo bonus release. Although not shown, there is also an evening stage, and it is used in a highly accurate state with an intermediate probability between the low probability normal state 1 or the normal state 2 and ultra-high accuracy.

  The sub-control unit 160 is a middle-tier cherry (which is called “single chee” in the industry), a strong cherry, a weak cherry, a strong watermelon, a weak watermelon, or a strong bell or chance that is independently irrespective of the pressing order. If a rare small role such as a role is won, and if it is further won in the subsequent transition lottery, the normal screen in the day and the screen in the evening are switched to the screen in the night. On the other hand, every time the replay is won, the falling lottery is performed with a predetermined probability, so that the normal screen in the daytime, the evening screen, and the nighttime screen are alternately displayed at a predetermined frequency during the general game. In general, these display screens switch the production depending on the stay mode such as low probability state or high probability state during bonus internal winning in order to give a correct mode suggestion to the player, but the mode suggestion is not always correct. However, the player's expectation can be further fueled by appropriately performing the gaze effect.

  FIG. 34C is a night game effect screen, and when the player operates the start lever from the night stage screen to start the variable display game, the sub control unit 160 causes the sub-control unit 160 to meet a predetermined condition such as when a rare small winning combination is won. Each time, the pseudo bonus lottery (AT bonus lottery) is performed. When the pseudo bonus lottery is performed, the sub-control unit 160 conveys the effect to the player, so that the sub-control unit 160 produces an effect of dropping thunder on the night stage screen with thunder. Further, as a precursor effect for releasing the real bonus (BB1 or BB2) or the pseudo bonus (pseudo BB, pseudo RB, or pseudo ST), the nightly screen is used. In particular, when the actual bonus (BB1 or BB2) is won during normal operation, the bonus is suggested by rapidly changing from the day stage screen to the night stage screen and performing at least two consecutive lightning effects. In addition, when the lightning effect is performed three times consecutively from the daytime stage screen, it is suggested that the actual bonus is confirmed and the pseudo bonus lottery is won. Therefore, by appropriately generating the thunder and sound effects, it is possible to fuel the player's expectation.

  Stock lottery (back stock number and release stock number and type) is performed using a stock lottery table according to the winning lottery result in a game state other than a pseudo ST or a pseudo super ST described later (particularly, a normal game state) . The back stock number is a pseudo bonus or a pseudo ST which is not immediately released but is released when the winning of the release lottery is won. On the contrary, even if the player wins the release lottery (for example, two wins), the pseudo bonus or the pseudo ST cannot be released unless the back stock is 0, and the result of the release win is discarded (discarded). . The number of released stocks is to be released immediately, and is released as a pseudo bonus or a pseudo ST after the standby state. For example, if the stock lottery is performed with the back stock number 0 and the back stock number 2 and the release stock number 1 are won, the back stock number 1 becomes the release stock number 1 and the release stock 1 is released as a pseudo bonus or pseudo ST. To be done. That is, without the back stock, the pseudo bonus cannot be released.

  When announcing the bonus winning (actual bonus or pseudo bonus), the sub-control unit 160 becomes a pseudo bonus omen of FIG. 33, and in the announcement variation display game after performing the omen Kaminari production several times of FIG. 34 (C), The night stage screen is displayed again (see FIG. 35 (A)), and in response to the operation of the stop button section 10, two bats holding a plate approach from a distance, and gradually the "BONUS" character can be recognized. Is displayed (see FIG. 35 (B)), and finally the bat notification effect of flying away is performed.

  Further, from the state where the night stage screen shown in FIG. 35 (A) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, the graveyard is enlarged, and the butler of the character screams "Orya" and "Tirolororolone". In addition to the sound effect, the character of the protagonist may be made to appear from the tomb hole in the center of the screen that has been dug up, which may be an extremely premier effect for the player (see FIG. 35 (C)). A freezing lottery is carried out with the winning of the role of middle cherry as a trigger, and when the winning is won, the freeze occurs as shown in FIG. 33, and at least the back stock number 5 and the released stock number 5 are won, and the pseudo bonus is immediately released after the freeze production. . However, in the actual bonus standby (inside) to be described later, not only does the freezer lottery even if the middle-tier cherry winning is internally won, the stop control is changed to stop the cherry symbol in the upper or lower tier, The middle-tier cherry combination is displayed as a double cherry combination or a triple cherry combination. As an effect, by hiding the highest middle-tier cherry role as a rare small role, the player does not feel lost.

  When the pseudo bonus is confirmed by the bonus release, the promotion lottery screen is displayed after the confirmation notification effect (see FIG. 36 (A)). The pseudo bonus includes a pseudo BB and a pseudo RB, and a pseudo ST (stock time) of a special additional game and a pseudo super ST (super stock time) of a pseudo game imitating this game. Further, as the pseudo BB, there are five kinds of pseudo BB (white), pseudo BB (yellow), pseudo BB (green), pseudo BB (red) and pseudo BB (rainbow color). Therefore, the pseudo BB stock probabilities in the pseudo BB game are different from each other. The probability of consecutive chan of pseudo bonus is 50% for pseudo BB (white), 60% for pseudo BB (yellow), 70% for pseudo BB (green), 80% for pseudo BB (red), and pseudo BB (rainbow color). Is 90%, and the probability of bonus consecutive chan in pseudo RB is the lowest at 30%. Therefore, the player expects the pseudo BB rather than the pseudo RB, and among the pseudo BBs, the pseudo BB (white) <the pseudo BB (yellow) <the pseudo BB (green) <the pseudo BB (red) <the pseudo BB (rainbow). Color). In addition, the player particularly wants to enter the pseudo ST (stock time) with the black bars.

  In the promotion lottery screen of FIG. 36 (A), the playing card diamond 7 is displayed, but it is suggested that the larger the number from 2 to 10, the higher the probability of being promoted to the pseudo BB. In the case of diamond 7, it suggests that the probability of becoming a pseudo RB is high. Every time 10 games of this promotion game are carried out, promotion self-selection lottery (see FIG. 33) is started, and in the state where the operation of the special button 14 is enabled, the winning lottery is executed at the timing of one-stroke operation. You can promote yourself from 7 to 10 diamonds. In the promotion lottery screen shown in FIG. 36 (B), the diamond 7 is changed to the club king, and it is displayed that the pseudo bonus has been promoted by winning the promotion lottery. The picture card and ace indicate that either the pseudo BB or the pseudo ST is confirmed. Also, although club 5 is displayed on the lower left side of FIG. 36 (B), it indicates that one pseudo bonus has been stocked in the promotion lottery in the promotion game, and the number 5 indicates the probability of becoming a pseudo RB. Suggests high. The stocked club 5 is a stock released immediately after the pseudo bonus game.

  On the promotion lottery screen of FIG. 36 (C), the king of the club is changed to an ace of hearts, and it is displayed that the pseudo bonus has been promoted by winning the further promotion lottery. Ace indicates that any one of pseudo BB (red), pseudo BB (rainbow color), and pseudo ST is definite. Also, although the club 5 and the joker are displayed on the lower left side of FIG. 36C, it indicates that one bonus is stocked in the promotion lottery in the promotion game. This joker displays that the pseudo ST has been confirmed. Therefore, the player does not feel painful even if the promotion game is long, and, on the contrary, wants the promotion game to continue for a long time.

  The main control unit 100 (or the sub-control unit 160) may determine any one of pseudo BB (red), pseudo BB (rainbow color), and pseudo ST at the time of FIG. 37 (A), and the determination thereof. In the case of the pseudo BB, when White 7 replay is internally won, it is instructed to aim at the White 7 symbol by reversely pressing (the first stop operation is the right stop button 10c) (see FIG. 37 (B)). On the other hand, when the determination is ST, if the BAR replay is internally won, it is instructed to aim the BAR symbol by reversely pressing (see FIG. 37 (C)).

  When the player correctly operates the stop button unit 10 (reverse pressing and correct operation timing) in the state of FIG. 37 (B), White 7 replay is won and the White 7 symbols are displayed in a straight line across the center. (See FIG. 38 (A)). Inside the white 7 pattern, a multi-colored light emitting drum portion pattern display LED is arranged, and the sub-control unit 160, in response to the operation of the special button 14, has three rotating drums corresponding to the activated line. The part pattern display LED changes the emission color from white → yellow → green → red → rainbow. If you press the stop button part 10 backwards but make a mistake in the operation timing, other replays won without winning the white 7 replay, but in this case, the symbol with the star mark in the figure is V-shaped , The pattern at this position changes to five colors (see FIG. 38 (B)). When the player reversely presses the stop button unit 10, the main control unit 100 causes a short freeze and delays the progress of the game. Assuming that the spade 5 is displayed instead of the heart ace shown in FIG. 37B, when the white BAR replay is internally won, similarly, the reverse push (the first stop operation is the right stop button 10c) is performed. ) And instruct to aim at the white 7 pattern. When the player operates the stop button section 10 correctly (reverse pressing and operation timing), the white 7 symbol, the white 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol are displayed in a straight line descending to the right (see FIG. 24 (B)).

  In the state of FIG. 37 (C), when the player correctly operates the stop button unit 10 (reverse pressing and correct operation timing), BAR replay is won and the BAR symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center horizontal direction (FIG. 38 (C)). When the stop button section 10 is pushed backwards but the operation timing is wrong, another replay wins without winning the BAR replay, but in this case, all the symbols become iridescent regardless of whether the BAR replay wins or not. Change. When the player reversely presses the stop button unit 10, the main control unit 100 causes a short freeze and delays the progress of the game (see FIG. 38 (D)).

  FIG. 39 is a schematic view of the effect screen displayed by the display effect device and a schematic view showing the symbol display state of the window.

  Assuming that the pseudo BB (rainbow color) is determined, the sub-control unit 160 preliminarily determines the number of operations of the special button 14 for each color to be changed, displays the color determination screen, and displays the special button. Prompt the continuous hit operation of 14 (see FIG. 39 (A)). For example, by lottery, white → yellow (see FIG. 39 (B)) 3 times, then yellow → green 5 times, green → red 7 times, and red → rainbow color 10 times Like (see FIG. 39 (C)), the number of times the color change timing is operated is determined in advance, and the emission color of the rotating body pattern display LED is controlled. In addition, when White 7 replay is not won (see FIG. 38 (B)), the design in the V-shaped position with the star mark in the same figure is likewise changed to 5 colors. On the other hand, when the start lever 9 is operated without operating the special button 14 in a state where the game medium is automatically loaded by any of the replay prizes, the top lamp (upper state display LED 13a) has the determined color. (In this case, iridescent) The white design is a design as a specific color and is a design that changes to a color according to colored light emitted from behind. With only this white 7 design, it is possible to change to any color design. Although a light clay color can be used as a specific color, white is the optimal color visually.

  40 to 41 are schematic diagrams of the effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

  The main control unit 100 controls not only the winning lottery but also the control relating to the pay-out performance (assist function). When the pseudo BB (rainbow color) described above is activated, the stock lottery with a pseudo BB stock probability of 90%. Stock lottery is performed according to the winning combination shown in FIG. 23 using the table. The player can select one of four methods of notifying the stock lottery result (chance notification, one-shot notification, later notification, confrontation notification). On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 receives information about the assist function such as the combination lottery result information and the operation order (assist information) from the main control unit 100, and performs an appropriate effect based on the information.

  When the start lever 9 is operated and the pseudo BB (rainbow color) is started, the sub-control unit 160 displays the pseudo BB start screen and displays the type and number of the stocked pseudo bonuses determined to be released. It is displayed in the upper left part of the display effect device 11 with the pattern (type) and the number of images (see FIG. 40 (A)). The main control unit 100 internally produces 15 small bell wins (including a push order unquestioned bell such as a strong bell and the left 1st bell) of 14 payouts regardless of the pseudo BB bonus color (white to iridescent). Since the pseudo BB is ended upon the winning, the push-order Bell role internally wins and manages it even once if it is missed. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 stores numerical data of 210 sheets as the pseudo BB end number data corresponding to winning the bell small win 15 times. Similarly, the pseudo RB ends upon the internal winning of the bell small combination 5 times, and stores the numerical data of 70 sheets as the pseudo RB end number data. In the display 000/210 of the BB start screen, the left side is the payout number, and the right side is the pseudo BB end number data, which is the end condition, and Total is the increased number. The main control unit 100 stores the number of winnings of the small bell in the pseudo bonus, and ends the pseudo bonus when the pseudo BB is won 15 times and the pseudo RB is won 5 times. Further, when the additional lottery in the pseudo BB is won, the additional prize may be added to the basic number of 15 times. For example, when 5 times are won in the additional lottery, the pseudo BB ends when 20 times are won, and the sub-control unit 160 additionally displays 210 denominators of 280 (5 × 14).

  When the push order bell 2-1 shown in FIG. 25 internally wins the sub control unit 160 and receives the role lottery result information (push order small win) and the assist information (middle → right → left) from the main control unit 100, The pressing order of the stop button portion 10 required to win the bell small win (FUR1) is indicated by a yellow (bell small win suggestion) circle and the numbers 1 to 3. In this case, the number 1, which means the first stop operation, is displayed in a large yellow circle, and "Naka" is pronounced in the voice of the protagonist such as Dracula or a princess (see FIG. 40 (B)). However, if a misaligned eye is displayed by mistake in the operation, the process moves to RT1 in FIG. 31, and in that case, when the push-order replay is won in order to transfer to RT2 or RT3 again, the same display and voice are displayed. It is designed to assist the player. It should be noted that if the sub-control unit 160 stores the pressing order information of middle → right → left corresponding to the pressing order bell 2-1, the main control unit 100 does not need to send the operation order information.

  When the player operates the middle stop button 10b correctly, the sub-control unit 160 bursts and erases the large yellow circle in the center, and at the same time, the numeral 2 which indicates the second stop operation is enlarged and displayed in the large yellow circle. (See FIG. 40C).

  When the player operates the right stop button 10c correctly, the sub-control unit 160 bursts and erases the large yellow circle on the right side, and at the same time, the number 3 which indicates the third stop operation is enlarged and displayed on the large yellow circle. (See FIG. 41A). Then, when the player operates the left stop button 10a last, the sub-control unit 160 bursts and erases the large yellow circle on the left side and displays "GET" in the center of the screen (FIG. 41 (B)). Then, the payout number 14 is sequentially added to 000 to change to 014, and the payout number 14 is added to Total “0” to be changed to 14 (see FIG. 41C). The display modes in the case of sequentially adding are 000 → 001 → 002 → 003 ... → 013 → 014, and in Total, 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 ... → 13 → 14. On the other hand, when the push order bell combination is internally won and is missed, the display mode is not sequentially added, but the jump display mode such as 000 → 014 is displayed, and one game ends.

  FIG. 42 is a schematic diagram of the effect screen displayed by the display effect device, and shows the flow of video until one pseudo bonus ends.

  The main control unit 100 stores the number of times that the Bell small winning combination has been won since the start of the pseudo BB, and the winning order of the Bell small winning combination is the right-to-middle-to-left push-order small winning combination 4-1 in the game in which the Bell small winning combination is won 15 times. (See FIG. 26) shows a state in which the internal winning is achieved (see FIG. 42 (A)). In addition, 10 of spades is additionally displayed on the upper left, but it shows that one discharge stock was won during the game of pseudo BB (rainbow color), and a total of 3 pseudo bonuses are stocked. It is released in order from the left club 5.

  When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the order of pushing right → middle → left, the main control unit 100 wins the bell small win and pays out 14 game media (see FIG. 42 (B)), and the pseudo BB. It is determined whether or not the end condition (the number of wins for the small bell is 15 times) is satisfied, and when the end condition is satisfied, the pseudo BB is ended and the short freeze state for about 3 seconds is set (FIG. 42). (See (C)). The sub-control unit 160 displays 210/210 sheets and the total number of increased sheets is 167, and in the bonus end screen, the total number is 167, in order to show that the BIG bonus has been performed once, x1, It is displayed as × 0 to indicate that the REG bonus has been performed 0 times. In addition, the push order bell role adds 14 to 000 of 000/210 sheets even if a prize is won or missed, but it is added to 000 except for the role of bell (for example, rare small role cherry or watermelon). Not done. On the other hand, the total number of coins actually won and paid out is added to Total, and the number of consumed game media (3 cards / game) is subtracted.

  43 to 44 are schematic diagrams showing the effect screen and the pattern display state of the window portion.

  Referring to FIG. 33, when the ending condition of the pseudo BB is satisfied, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not there is a stock of the pseudo bonus and the pseudo ST that can be released, and if there is the stock of the pseudo bonus or the pseudo stock time. On the other hand, the game moves to the standby mode, and if there is no stock, it moves to the normal game. In this case, since there are three stocks and they are consumed in the order in which the pseudo bonus and the pseudo ST are acquired, first, as in the case of FIG. 36 (A), the promotion lottery screen of the leftmost club 5 is displayed (FIG. 43 ( See A)). When the white BAR replay is won without being promoted from the club 5, the main control unit 100 instructs the sub control unit 160 to reversely press (first stop operation is the right stop button 10c) to aim at the white 7 symbol ( 43 (B)), when the player correctly operates the stop button unit 10 (reverse pressing and correct operation timing), the white BAR replay is won and the white 7 symbol, the white 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol are straight to the right. They are displayed together (see FIG. 43 (C)). However, what actually won and operated was the replay combination of the bell symbol, the white 7 symbol, and the white 7 symbol.

  When the pseudo RB is activated, the main control unit 100 uses the stock lottery table with the pseudo BB stock probability of 30% to perform the stock lottery according to the winning combination shown in FIG. The sub-control unit 160 receives the information about the assist function such as the combination lottery result information and the operation order (assist information) from the main control unit 100, and performs an appropriate effect based on the information.

  When the start lever 9 is operated and the pseudo RB is started, the sub-control unit 160 displays the pseudo RB start screen, and displays the type and number of stocked pseudo bonuses by the design and the number of playing cards of the display effect device 11. It is displayed on the upper left (see FIG. 44 (A)). The main control unit 100 ends the pseudo BB when the 14-bell payout small winning combination has been internally won 5 times, so the push-order Bell winning combination internally wins and manages it as once. . On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 stores numerical data of 70 sheets as the pseudo BB end sheet number data corresponding to winning the bell small combination five times.

  The main control unit 100 wins the fifth small winning combination and pays out 14 game media (see FIG. 44 (B)), determines whether or not the ending condition of the pseudo RB is satisfied, and ends the condition. When is satisfied, the pseudo RB is terminated and the short freeze state is set for about 3 seconds. The sub-control unit 160 displays that the total number of 70/70 sheets and the number of increased sheets continuously counted from the first pseudo BB is 248 sheets (see FIG. 44 (B)), and the Total is displayed on the bonus end screen. 248 pieces are displayed as x1 to indicate that the BIG bonus has been performed once, and x1 to indicate that the REG bonus has been performed once. In addition, the push order bell role is added to 00 of 00/70 sheets, even if a prize is won or dropped. However, except for the bell role (for example, rare small role cherry or watermelon, etc.) Not added. On the other hand, in Total, the number of coins actually won and paid out is added, and the number of coins consumed (three per game) is subtracted.

  45 to 46 are schematic diagrams of the effect screen displayed by the display effect device. FIG. 47 is an explanatory diagram showing types of reach stitches.

  Here, referring to FIG. 33, when the ending condition of the pseudo RB is satisfied, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not there is a pseudo bonus to be released and a pseudo ST release stock, and if there is a release stock, the pseudo bonus or pseudo stock time. While shifting to the standby, if there is no discharge stock, it shifts to the normal game. In this case, since there are two discharge stocks and they are consumed in the order in which the pseudo bonus and the pseudo ST are acquired, the leftmost joker is displayed first and the spades stocked immediately below are displayed, as in FIG. 43 (A). No. 10 is displayed (see FIG. 45 (A)). Since the highest stock time of the joker is fixed, the main control unit 100 performs the pseudo bonus or pseudo ST stock lottery instead of the promotion lottery. This stock lottery is executed using a stock lottery table according to the result of the lottery such as cherries and watermelons, so the probability of winning the stock lottery increases if a winning role or a rare small role is won in the role lottery. The role is 100% and multiple stock wins of 2 or more). FIG. 45 (B) shows a state in which a pseudo bonus or a pseudo ST is newly won in the stock lottery, and the ace of the spade whose pseudo BB (red) or higher or pseudo ST is confirmed is displayed.

  When the BAR replay is won in the state of FIG. 45 (B), the main control unit 100 instructs the sub control unit 160 to aim the BAR symbol by reverse pressing (see FIG. 45 (C)), and the player stops the button. When the section 10 is properly operated, the BAR replay is won and the BAR symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center (see FIG. 24 (C)).

  When the main controller 100 activates the pseudo ST of 50 games in one set (see FIG. 33), it uses the stock lottery table having the probability (200%) of stocking two pieces on average in one set, as shown in FIG. Stock lottery will be conducted according to the winning combination. In the stock lottery performed during the pseudo bonus, the number of back stock and the number and type of released stock are determined. Therefore, if only the back stock is won, the pseudo bonus is not released. However, in the stock lottery conducted in the pseudo ST or pseudo super ST, the number and type of released stock are determined regardless of the presence or absence of the back stock, and the back stock is not used. The pseudo bonus etc. is immediately released after the end of the pseudo ST. Further, the back stock number currently stored is maintained as it is, and can be used in a pseudo bonus game, a normal game, a pseudo bonus game, or the like.

  When the start lever 9 is operated and the pseudo ST is started, the sub-control unit 160 displays a pseudo ST start screen (stock time start screen), and displays the type and number of the pseudo bonus currently stocked as a playing card pattern (type). ) Is displayed in the upper left portion of the display effect device 11, and in this case, one game has been exhausted so that the number of remaining games is 49, and it is displayed that the total number of games is increased by 254 (FIG. 46 (A)). reference). FIG. 46 (B) announces that the rare small winning combination has been won in the first game of the start of the pseudo ST. For example, when a strong cherry (three consecutive cherries) is internally won, a stock lottery is performed with a high probability, and the drum is played. The rotating body pattern display LEDs of the non-effective lines (excluding the middle stage, the upper stage and the lower stage) of the section 2 are lit in red for about 2 seconds. In this case, one bonus stock is won and one more queen of hearts with pseudo BB (white) or higher confirmed is additionally displayed, and 3 consecutive cherries with 2 dividends are won and the number of increase is Two pieces are added and the total is displayed as 256 pieces (see FIG. 46C). In this pseudo ST, 50 games are executed in one set, but if no bonus stock is won in 50 games, one more set is added and 50 games continue from the beginning. The number of games to be added may be determined by lottery among 30, 40, 50, 100 games and the like. Further, if the additional lottery in the pseudo ST is won, the additional prize may be added to the basic number of 50 games.

  The rare small wins (upper watermelon, lower right watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, reach eye replays 1 to 12) that were won during the pseudo-ST are the triggers for the freeze lottery, and if you win this freeze lottery, After the end, when the start lever 9 is operated in the bet state, the main lottery of the next game (actual bonus, small win, replay, etc. is determined) and the progress of the game is delayed. ST (pseudo game) is started to execute stock lottery. When the freeze lottery is won, the guaranteed number of games and the loop rate are set. By executing the stock lottery, the stock lottery to be released (lottery of the released stock number) and the continuous lottery (or also called puncture lottery) for deciding whether the pseudo super ST is to be continued or ended are performed, and the pseudo super ST (“super stock in FIG. Time ”)). The pseudo super ST is a pseudo game accompanied by a reel freeze effect imitating this game, and is not the main game, but as described above, the winning combination has already been determined by the main lottery, and the progress of the main game is stopped (or , Delay) is a game.

  When the pseudo super ST starts, the reel freeze effect is executed, and the drum unit 2 rotates in the same manner as in this game. When the number of released stocks is determined by the stock lottery and the three stop button units 10 are operated, the corresponding drum unit 2 is stopped and one of the reach eyes (see FIG. 47) is displayed, whereby the pseudo bonus stock is obtained. Notify the winner. In order to show the player that the drum section 2 is in the pseudo game state, the drum section 2 is in the pseudo stop state in which the drum section 2 repeats fine movements up and down after the final stop operation. Further, the number of discharged stocks is additionally displayed on the display effect device 11 depending on the type and number of playing cards. When discharged, the drum body pattern display LED of the drum unit 2 is lit or blinked in many colors (yellow, green, red, iridescent) from 2 seconds to the end of the pseudo game once. There are a plurality of reach-eye replay combinations (see FIG. 23) in which the reels actually stop at the reach-eyes shown in FIG. 47, and when one of the reach-eye replay combinations wins, depending on the push order or the operation timing, In this game as well, it is arranged to be displayed in a reach stop mode similar to that shown in FIG. In this pseudo-ST or pseudo-super-ST, if a winning lottery is won, the winning number is released as a pseudo bonus or a pseudo-ST through a waiting state after the end of the pseudo-ST. In other words, in the pseudo ST or the pseudo super ST, even if there is no back stock, it is immediately released if the release lottery is won. Also, what has been accumulated as the back stock is taken over as it is as the back stock number even if the game is shifted to the normal game. The reach stitch shown in FIG. 48 includes a plurality of reach stitches that stop inside the actual bonus (for example, Getchena in the upper center of FIG. 48).

  When the start lever 9 is operated in the continuous state of the pseudo super ST, the stock lottery and the continuous lottery are performed, and the drum unit 2 rotates to start the next pseudo super ST. When the player has missed the stock lottery but decided to continue the pseudo super ST (end condition is not satisfied) and the three stop button parts 10 are operated, the corresponding drum parts 2 are artificially stopped and the normal replay (middle replay or By displaying the upper right replay), the continuation of the pseudo super ST is notified. On the other hand, if the stock lottery and the continuous lottery are missed (end condition is satisfied), when the three stop button portions 10 are operated, the corresponding drum portion 2 is pseudo-stopped, and the loose eye (the loose eye but the non-reach eye) is generated. ) Is displayed to notify the end of the pseudo super ST, and the process returns to the pseudo ST. In addition, when the reach replay role is won during the pseudo bonus, the stock lottery is performed and the pushing order is not displayed when the winning is won, but the right first pushing order is displayed when the winning is lost. At this time, when the player performs the right first operation, the middle replay is displayed, so the reach eye does not appear, but when the left first operation or the middle first operation is performed, the reach eye is displayed to notify the stock winning. It has become.

  FIG. 48 is a flowchart of the super stock time.

  When winning the freeze lottery, the main control unit 100 calls a subroutine of pseudo super ST, and sets the guaranteed game number and the loop rate in step S200. When the start lever 9 is operated in step S210, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S220, but since it is the first time, the start lever 9 has already been operated. If the start lever 9 is not operated after the second time, the time counting time of about 20 seconds is timed up, and the timing shifts to step S220. In step S220, it is determined whether or not there is a guaranteed game number, and if it is not 0, the process proceeds to step S223 to determine the type of pseudo bonus or pseudo ST (referred to as pseudo bonus), and the determined type of pseudo bonus or the like. Accordingly, the reach stitch is determined, and the rotating drum portion 2 is stopped (or pseudo-stopped) by operating the stop button portion 10 to display the reach stitch (step S225). On the other hand, if the number of guaranteed games is 0, the process proceeds to step S230, a puncture lottery of pseudo super ST (or also referred to as continuous lottery) is performed, and whether or not the ending condition of pseudo super ST is satisfied in step S240. (That is, the puncture lottery is performed at the operation timing of the start lever 9). If the ending condition is not satisfied in step S240, the number N of stocks (an integer of 0 or more) is determined in step S250, and the type of pseudo bonus or the stock failure is determined. It should be noted that if N is 0, it is always unprofitable, but even if N is 1 or more, if the player loses in the type lottery such as the pseudo bonus, it is unprofitable. In step S255, it is determined whether or not there is a stock such as a pseudo bonus (stock winning), a reach is determined according to the type and number of the pseudo bonus, and the rotating drum section 2 is stopped by operating the stop button section 10. (Or pseudo stop) to display reach eyes (step S225). On the other hand, if there is no stock, a normal replay is displayed by operating the stop button unit 10 to notify that the lottery will continue (step S228). On the other hand, if the end condition is satisfied, the drum section 2 is stopped (or pseudo-stopped) by operating the stop button section 10 to display a gap (step S260), and the pseudo super ST is ended and the pseudo super-ST is ended. Execute ST again.

  FIG. 49 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

  The main control unit 100 finishes the pseudo ST when the number of remaining games reaches 0 after finishing the pseudo ST of 50 games, and displays that the total number of the increased number is 318 (see FIG. 49 (A)). . Further, the sub-control unit 160 associates the types and the numbers of the pseudo bonuses and the pseudo STs that are stocked in the pseudo ST and the pseudo super ST with the patterns and the numbers of the playing cards and displays them in the upper left portion of the display effect device 11 (FIG. 49). (See (A)). In this case, 6 is newly released in stock, and Queen of Heart, 8 of Dia, Jack of Spade, Jack of Heart, Joker and 9 of Spade are additionally displayed.

  Here, referring to FIG. 33, the main control unit 100, when the ending condition of the pseudo ST is satisfied, either the pseudo bonus or the stock of the pseudo ST is always present, and the pseudo bonus or the pseudo stock having a high release order is present. Transition to waiting time. In this case, since there are eight stocks and the bonuses and the pseudo STs are consumed in the order in which they are acquired, first, as in the case of FIG. 43 (A), the leftmost 10 promotion lottery screen is displayed, and immediately below that. The other seven stocks are displayed (see FIG. 48 (B)). The main control unit 100 causes the sub control unit 160 to display that the pseudo bonus has been promoted by the promotion lottery and the spade 10 has become the king of spades, and when the white 7 replay is won, the sub control unit 160 is displayed. Reverse pressing (first stop operation is the right stop button 10c) is instructed to aim at the white 7 symbol (see FIG. 49 (C)).

  When the player operates the stop button unit 10 correctly, the white 7 replay is won and the white 7 symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center (see FIG. 38 (A)). Assuming that the pseudo BB (green) is determined, the sub-control unit 160 preliminarily determines the number of operations of the special button 14 for each color to be changed, displays the color determination screen, and displays the special button 14 The continuous hitting operation is urged (see FIG. 39 (A)). For example, the sub-control unit 160 determines in advance the number of times the color change timing is to be operated, for example, from white to yellow 5 times (see FIG. 39B) by lottery and then from yellow to green 7 times. The emission color of the rotating body pattern display LED is controlled.

  Here, referring to FIG. 33, a game in which the actual bonus (bonus 1, bonus 2) is internally won in all the game states (normal game, omen, standby, pseudo bonus, stock time, super stock time) in the square frame When all the bonus symbols are won, the actual bonus game is started immediately. On the other hand, if the bonus symbols are not gathered in the internally won game, the actual bonus inside (the probability of losing 1/2 at RT4) shifts to the gaming state, and the winning of the actual bonus is announced after a few games of intense hot production. . When the actual bonus symbols are gathered, the stock release lottery (lottery of the number and type of pseudo bonuses to be released) is performed at the timing when the final stop operation button of the stop button section 10 is released. As a result, since a high probability stock release lottery is executed at least once in one real bonus game, the player is expected to release the pseudo bonus even if he cannot draw a rare small role during the real bonus game. Feeling increases. That is, the stock lottery (the number of back stock, the number of released, the type) is executed when the actual bonus symbols are gathered. Also, during the actual bonus game game, stock lottery is performed based on the winning combination which is the result of the lottery. Since the odds of winning in this stock lottery are much higher for rare small roles than for regular roles such as normal replays and bell small roles, players expect the rare small roles to win in particular. One actual bonus game ends when the ending condition based on the number of paid-out game medals (for example, exceeding the specified number) is satisfied.

  In particular, if the real bonus is internally won during the pseudo bonus or the pseudo ST (stock time), it becomes RT0 (initial state) after the end of the real bonus game, and the RT0 state → RT1 state → RT2 state → pseudo bonus symbol winning (white 7 replay Etc.) will be in a long-term pseudo-bonus waiting state where promotion lottery is conducted. Every 10 games in this pseudo bonus standby state, a pseudo bonus self-ranking lottery is performed, and when the special button 14 is pressed with the operation enabled (the internal LED is blinking), the winning lottery is drawn at that timing. Is executed and in the case of winning, the pseudo bonus is ranked up as “success”. For example, it is promoted from pseudo RB to pseudo BB (white), pseudo BB (red) to pseudo BB (rainbow color), and pseudo BB (rainbow color) to pseudo ST. On the other hand, in the case of losing, the rank of the pseudo bonus is maintained. Then, when the pseudo bonus symbol is internally won, the symbol is targeted by being reversely pressed, and the pseudo bonus is executed again from the 0th number of the first start number.

  As described above, the pseudo bonus game is repeated to release all the stocked pseudo bonuses and the like, and in the case of "no release stock" (see FIG. 33), the normal game state (normal state 1, normal state) 2. Return to either the high-accuracy state or the ultra-high-accuracy state. In this normal game state, stock lottery (back stock number and released stock number and type) is performed using the stock lottery table according to the role lottery result for each game, but in addition to it, depending on the number of games between bonuses. The bonus release lottery is executed. The winning percentage of the bonus release is 20% for the first game, 3% for the 11th game, 6% for the 33rd game, 3% for the 55th game, 15% for the 77th game, 3% for the 99th game, and 111%. Game 3%, 222 Game 3%, 333 Game 30%, 444 Game 5%, 555 Game 10%, 666 Game 5%, 777 Game 50%, 888 Game The eyes are allocated as 5% and the 999th game as 100%, and the bonus discharge lottery is not performed in the other games (for example, the second game to the tenth game). Even if you win the bonus release lottery, if there is not 1 back stock (0 back stock) of the pseudo bonus, the pseudo bonus will not be released, but at the 99th game on the ceiling, 100% at least 1 release stock The number and type are determined, and are released as a pseudo bonus or the like after the precursor effect.

  The winning probability of the pseudo ST (stock time) is large in the normal game state (normal game, pseudo bonus sign, pseudo bonus standby) and pseudo bonus game state (pseudo bonus, stock time, super stock time) of FIG. Unlike the former, the latter has a significantly higher winning probability (5% for the former and 50% for the latter). That is, of the pseudo bonuses won in the normal game state, 90% is a pseudo BB or pseudo RB, and 10% pseudo ST, while 50% of the pseudo bonuses won in the pseudo bonus game state is a pseudo BB or pseudo. RB gives 50% pseudo ST. Then, the main control unit 100 stores the types of stocked pseudo bonuses in the stocked order, and releases the latest stored pseudo bonus first (Last in First out). This makes it possible to form a series of game loops from the pseudo bonus to the stock time and from the stock time to the pseudo bonus, and it is possible to make a big wave of payout.
