Description

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

In addition, the present invention provides control steps or control procedures for realizing the method in semiconductor memory, LD (laser disk), HD (hard disk), FD (flexible disk), MD (mini disk), CD. (Compact disc), DVD (Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc), Blue Ray disc, and other programs recorded on information storage media (eg, game software) themselves.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a game using a rotating drum type game machine called a pachi-slot machine has been actively performed in a conventional pachinko hall or a pachi-slot hall. In addition, there is also a spinning drum type gaming machine called a pachilot (or parrot) that performs the above-described spinning drum type game using 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-replacement type coin (that is, "game medium") called a token (Token coin) A simulation game simulating is being performed.

For example, in the normal game of the above-mentioned spinning drum type game machine, when the player inserts a predetermined number (predetermined amount) of game medals (game medium, credit or token) and operates the start lever, a bonus, a plurality of bonuses are generated at that timing. Performs an internal lottery (or also referred to as “internal lottery”) for a small win or replay win (replay win), and uses multiple 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, the plurality of 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, while the replay pattern is displayed on the effective line When 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 spinning 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 it 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, the big bonus game mode (BB game mode: accessory continuous operation) 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, 1999) 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. In other words, 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 slot function for continuously releasing bonuses (consecutive chan), which should be called the greatest feature of the conventional spinning-type gaming machine (No. 4), was 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 performance have been extremely reduced, and players (slotters), who were good customers, are becoming more and more customers away.

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

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. When the AT bonus is won, the push order that is the correct answer is notified when the small push order wins internally. In this way, a small win with the largest number of payouts out of a plurality of small wins that are simultaneously won.

By the way, as AT's original technology (patent No. 4428725) developed by the applicant, a single symbol small win is internally elected, and if 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 operation 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, 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 elected, 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-probability 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 combination has already been won and the bonus flag is set, if the replay is internally won by the random number lottery, the replay symbol is preferentially drawn in and the replay always wins, so the bonus combination cannot be won. ..

In other words, since the area originally to be lost is the winning area for 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. In addition, in the future, the main control unit will execute control of a pseudo bonus (assist bonus) in which the AT function is activated, which causes a problem that the control processing is increased as compared with the conventional case.

The present invention is firstly to provide a new transition game (chance zone). Another object is to provide a new method for determining the number of sheets to be added (privilege amount). It is to provide a gaming machine that cannot easily perform a goto action by modifying a sub control unit. It is to provide a gaming machine capable of making a big wave of balls. Further, the determined additional number (privilege amount) is distributed so that the additional number to be displayed is efficiently dispersed. Another object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine or the like that can suggest setting values that the player is interested in.

Secondly, adding multiple pseudo bonuses (assist bonuses) to a spinning-type gaming machine equipped with an actual bonus, and having the bonus stock function prohibited by Unit 5 and unique stock release. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game machine or the like that is entertaining and can increase the fun by the method. Further, it is to minimize the control processing performed by the main control unit.

Then, in the present invention, any one of a plurality of types of push order small wins (left push order small win, middle push order small win and right push order small win) having different winning operation orders is won, and a player aims at the DDT point. Even if the left stop switch is operated first, it is to provide a gaming machine or the like that can stop the left-handed torso and display a symbol in a specific mode.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 carries out an internal lottery for each game with a plurality of spinning drums in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface, and a lottery result is obtained. The lottery means to be derived and a plurality of spinning drums for each game are rotated, and when the operation of the stop switch provided corresponding to each spinning drum is accepted, the corresponding spinning drum is individually stopped and the lottery result is obtained. Rotating body control means for displaying a pattern in a corresponding manner, a notification game for notifying the operation sequence of the stop switch, an extension game for extending the period for executing the notification game, and whether to shift to the extension game A transition game for determining whether or not, and a game control means for transitioning to the extension game when the total value of the points acquired in the transition game satisfies the transition condition, In the lottery result, there are a plurality of point acquisition roles for acquiring points and a falling lottery role for performing a falling lottery, and it is determined whether or not to end the transition game according to the result of the falling lottery. , In the transition game, the game control means determines the multiplying factor in the current game and maintains it until the point-acquiring combination is won , and the multiplication is applied to the points acquired according to the point-acquiring combination won in the subsequent games. The multiplied value is used as the number of points to be earned, and a new multiplying factor is determined and maintained , and when the total value of the points earned satisfies the transition condition, the game is shifted to the extended game while the falling lottery is selected. When you become a finished, completed the transition game, said the extension game is, at least there is a specialized game 1 and a specialized game 2, said in specialized game 1, according to the winning combination, lottery the additional amount to win Although determined by, if the replay combination or loss continuously between predetermined game will end filled termination condition, the in specialized game 2, the continuation rate determined at the time rush, each game continuation or by the continuous rate It is characterized in that the fall is determined and the additional amount to be acquired is determined, and the additional game is ended by the determination of the fall, and when the extension game is finished, the determined additional amount is added and the notification game is restarted. ..

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to provide a new transition game (chance zone). It is possible to change the probability by a method that has never been used. Further, it is possible to provide a gaming machine in which the goto action by modifying the sub-control unit cannot be easily performed. In addition, it becomes possible to determine the additional number (privilege amount). Further, each time the predetermined number of games is consumed, it is possible to expect the execution of the suggestive effect for knowing the set value that has been determined, so that it is possible to provide the player with a new interest.

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, the pseudo bonus can be released by a method peculiar to the present invention. Also, 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. Further, it is possible to improve the advantage of the pseudo bonus. We can provide a new additional specialized zone and make special games interesting. Then, it becomes possible to reduce the amount of control processing performed by the main control unit.

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, if the player first operates the left stop switch aiming at the DDT point, the left turn cylinder is stopped and the design is displayed in a specific mode, which makes the player feel uncomfortable. Never give. In addition, by missing multiple types of push order small wins, one small win will be won, but the winning probability is higher than before (about 2/9 to about 2/3), so you can reduce the number of game medals. You can loosen it (that is, you can raise the base and reduce gambling).

Definition:
Replay refers to a combination of patterns that allows the next play to be played without making a bet in a pachi-slot (rotating drum type gaming machine). The name on the pachi-slot verification rules (rules regarding the certification 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 and the like is displayed on the activated line, and in a small winning combination in which a game medium is paid out. It is synonymous with "winning prize". Therefore, in the present specification, the replay game may be used as a "winning prize" or a bonus winning combination "winning prize" for convenience.

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, but this embodiment will explain the basic configuration and basic operation of the rotating barrel type gaming machine in detail.

FIG. 1 is a schematic front view ((A) is an overall view, (B) is a partially enlarged view) of a rotating body type gaming machine.

Reference numeral 1 is a main body of a rotating drum type game machine generally called a "pachi-slot machine", and is roughly divided into a housing 1a containing a rotating drum (drum portion 2) and a front door 1b.

The front door 1b is a main part that should be called the face of a spinning-type gaming machine, and by adding various kinds of plating to a resin material to give a high-class feeling, a gorgeous and solid feeling is given to the appearance. On the front surface of the front door 1b, two upper and lower transparent panels 22 are fitted, and various designs are given.

Behind the upper transparent panel 22a, a display effect device 11 (or a video display device) that performs various effects according to the game situation is fixed with screws. The window 3 (design display window) is formed on the lower transparent panel 22b by attaching the design sheet 22c. A display LED block 4 (light-emitting display device 4, see FIG. 1B) is attached to a lower portion 22d of the lower transparent panel 22b (see a broken line portion in FIG. 1A). The display LED block 4 is composed of a display LED group described later.

Reference numeral 4a denotes an inserted number LED, which displays the number of game medals or credits inserted from the medal insertion section 5 or the max bet button 8 or the 1 bet button (not shown) for playing a game.

Reference numeral 4b is an LED for displaying the number of stored medals, and displays the number of credits of the game medals (the number of stored medals) within a predetermined maximum number of 50, for example. Further, a payout effect display at the time of settlement of the stored medals is displayed.

Reference numeral 4c denotes a medal payout number display LED, which displays the number of payout medals at the time of winning. In addition, the set value of the payout rate and the error code during stopping or when an error occurs are displayed.

4d is a medal insertion display LED, which lights up when a game medal can be inserted.

4e is a replay display LED, which lights up when replay is activated in the variable display game.

4f is a stop and error display LED, which is turned on when stopping and when a serious trouble (for example, trouble other than door opening) occurs.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a drum unit (reel drum unit) built in the casing 1a, which is configured by three drums of a left drum 2a, a middle drum 2b, and a right drum 2c, a motor, an electric circuit, and the like. Inside each of the drums, a rotating body portion pattern display LED (not shown) is provided, and light emission (lighting or blinking) or light extinction is performed 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, the variable display game changes the symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are arranged. 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) mounted on the lower left and right sides. When it is not possible to insert, it is red (first color), while on the other hand, when it is possible to insert 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 selection 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 4a 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 at the time of paying out the inserted medals and the stored medals (credits).

Reference numeral 7 is 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 when 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 section 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 selected from set values 1 to 6 (or 4-step jump numbers such as 1, 3, 5, and 7) when setting the payout rate (or machine division). It is used to determine the desired set value. The payout rate (machine allocation) is the ratio of the number of paid-out sheets to the number of inserted sheets, and is calculated as (payout number/inserted number)×100%. For example, if the total number of games played is 5000 and the number of acquisitions is 2000, the number of insertions in 5000 games is 15000 (3 insertions in 1 game. 5000×3), which is 2000 acquisitions. The total number of payouts is 17,000. The payout rate is (17,000/15000)×100=113.33%. The payout rate (machine ratio) is approximately 96% with the set value 1, 98% with the set value 2, 100% with the set value 3, 105% with the set value 4, 112% with the set value 5, and 120 with the set value 5. It is designed to be about %, is a theoretical value that is determined on average when a game is played on a game machine for 10000/1 day, and has a unique value that is determined for one game machine. In the type test, the machine ratio was short-term payout rate (less than 300% in 400 games), medium-time payout rate (less than 150% in 6000 games), and long-term payout rate (less than 120% in 17500 games). It is restricted not to exceed, and if it exceeds this, it becomes non-conforming.

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 portion 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 portion 2 stops 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 up. When the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, and the right stop button 10c are used as the three directional input means, it is possible to sequentially correspond to the leftward, upward, and rightward inputs, respectively.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a display effect device composed of 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 a spinning drum game. It is also possible to announce necessary information. In addition, regardless of whether or not the special glasses are used, a display effect device capable of stereoscopic display has recently been manufactured at a low price, and 7 patterns or the like are produced in a tempai state (reach state) or a big hit state. A game machine that employs 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 including an upper left speaker 12a, an upper right speaker 12b, a lower left speaker 12c, and a lower right speaker 12d, and sound effects and settings are being changed according to various effects, or the front door 1b is Sounds an alarm when it is open or when 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 includes an upper state display LED 13a (also referred to as a top lamp) provided on an upper part 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. The state display LED 13d and the right middle state display LED 13e, the lower left state display LED 13f, the lower right state display LED 13g and the middle lower state display LED 13h are configured, and various light effects can be effectively performed. In addition, the blinking is repeated as a warning display while the setting is being changed, the front door 1b is open, or a trouble occurs.

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 causing the colorful light to be interrupted. 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 (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 winning combination. It plays a central role in light production in which the player emits light in colors and informs the player of winning prizes and the like to inspire expectations.

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, power level gauge increase, bonus establishment symbol display, fighter machine gun operation, and the like). Input information such as bomb dropping or moving direction of characters or power-up) is input by one-time operation or repeated hits by the player. 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 sound 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 outlet 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 a "inserted 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 port 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 central portion of the casing 1a of the rotating body type gaming machine body 1.

A reflection plate 17 is provided in the upper right part of the housing 1a, and a photo sensor is provided at a corresponding position of the front door 1b. When the front door 1b is closed, the LED light emitted from the photo sensor 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, and 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 setting the payout rate and confirming the set value. By inserting the operation key into the keyhole 21d and rotating the key, the state can be changed from OFF to ON or vice versa.

Reference numeral 21b is an error canceling switch, which is used when setting the payout rate and canceling the suspension of the game due to an error. The set 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 internal drawing result, which attracts the player's interest and interest. It should be noted that the sub-block, when the assist function is activated, sets a stop operation procedure (a winning order of a small role intended to win 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 containing a CPU, and a predetermined data table area and a control procedure for the entire apparatus. , And a RAM 102 (RWM: rewritable memory) in which a counter, a register, etc. are formed to temporarily store 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 which 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 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/O 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 (a plurality of rows) design row in which a plurality of (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 winning small winning combinations 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 active 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/O port (not shown) or a data bus, and control data (for example, coin insertion data, The lottery result, the winning situation data, the set 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 with 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, which is provided with a counter, a timer, a register, and the like, and which temporarily stores information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100, is provided. A plurality of BGM (background music) data is stored in the ROM 161, and a specially arranged BGM is arranged in order to raise the player's feelings during the bonus game, depending on the production scene. It is selected and played as appropriate. The main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 do not have to be provided separately, and 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 re-play, 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 winning combination (the first small winning combination and some of the plurality of push order defining small winning combinations) is internally won during the AT bonus game, Assist information (auxiliary information) for aligning the winning first small winning symbol pattern (for example, a bell symbol) 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 determines 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, a HIGH signal) when the special button 14 is operated and an OFF signal (for example, a 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 the open/closed state of the door and outputs a control signal to the sub control unit 160, and in the state where 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 and closing when the main power is cut off. As a result, the sub-control unit 160 generates a warning sound when the main power is turned on even if the front door 1b is closed and it seems that there is no abnormality. Therefore, the manager of the game 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 pulse signal of the number 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 credits or the number of credits increased by the number is displayed.

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 (details not shown). 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. Note that 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. Note that 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). When a payout of medals is made by displaying the coins in a predetermined combination.), the number of payouts is displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and the number of credits is displayed. In addition to this, it is displayed on the medal storage number display LED 4b. 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 causes the payout motor of the medal payout device 18 via a drive circuit described later. Is controlled so that a required number of medals are discharged from the medal payout opening 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 effect operations such as display control of characters and background images on the display screen of the display effect device 11.

Reference numeral 150 denotes a stage setting unit (setting changing device), and by performing a payout rate setting operation to be described later, the hall side responds to a large amount of medals released at an event or newly opened or collection status for profit improvement. Then, a desired set value can be selected from the set values 1 to 6 (or the skip 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 is over. 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. 63 is a block diagram of a control circuit that drives the payout motor. FIG. 64 is a timing chart of various drive signals. Here, drive control of the payout motor provided in the medal payout device 18 will be described.

In order for the medal payout device 18 to pay out the medals stored in the hopper, the main control unit 100 changes the payout device operation output of the third pin of the connector CN1 from High to Low at time t1, The payout motor is driven via a digital circuit. This payout device operation output signal is one instruction digital signal for instructing either driving or stopping of the payout motor, and a voltage of +24 V from the output terminal 3 of the drive circuit is applied to the pin 1 of the connector CN2. Is output. As a result, electric power for driving the coil of the payout motor M is supplied, and the payout motor M rotates in the payout direction of the medal (see FIG. 63(B)).

As an input/output function to the input terminal IN1 and the input terminal IN2 of the drive circuit, the input terminal IN1 is High and the input terminal IN2 is Low, and the voltage of +24V is output from the third output terminal (see FIG. 63(B)). When the terminal IN1 is High and the input terminal IN2 is High, the short brake is applied (see FIG. 63(C)), the input terminal IN1 is Low and the input terminal IN2 is Low and is OFF (high impedance), and the payout motor is stopped. (See FIG. 63(D)). The short brake is a brake applied by short-circuiting both terminals of the coil of the rotating payout motor M. When both terminals of the coil are short-circuited, a current flows due to the back electromotive force and heat is generated, and a force is generated in a direction that hinders the rotation of the payout motor M, but the rotation shaft of the payout motor M is not completely locked. PS1 is a thermistor, and its own resistance value increases due to overcurrent (or heating), which has the role of limiting the current flowing to the load and protecting the payout motor M. It should be noted that the input terminal IN1 of the payout motor M is low and the input terminal IN2 is high, so that a voltage for reverse rotation is generated and the brake is applied more than the short brake, but this reverse rotation mode may be the brake mode or the brake state. ..

The digital circuit is composed of an OR gate IC2, an AND gate IC3, an OR gate IC4, an OR gate IC5, an RC integrating circuit, and a noise filter (R5, R6 and C8). When the main control unit 100 changes the payout device operation output from High to Low at time t1, the 1st and 2nd input terminals of the OR gate IC2, the 4th input terminal of the AND gate IC3, and the 13th input terminal of the OR gate IC5. Is changed from High to Low, the 3rd output terminal of the OR gate IC2 is changed from Low to High, but the voltage of the capacitor C of the RC integrating circuit is input to the 5th input terminal of the AND gate IC3. The output waveform of the capacitor C rises up to about 63% but is delayed by the time determined by the time constant (τ=C×R) of the integrating circuit, so that the response becomes slow and the voltage rises slowly (Fig. See pin 5 of 64). Since the 6th output terminal of the AND gate IC3 becomes Low only when both the 4th input terminal and the 5th input terminal are High, it keeps High even after the time t1, and the 9th and 10th input terminals of the OR gate IC4. The 12th input terminal of the OR gate IC5 also remains High. The 11th output terminal of the OR gate IC5 becomes High if either the 12th input terminal or the 13th input terminal is Low. Therefore, at the time t1, High is input to the input terminal IN1 of the drive circuit. It Since the 8th output terminal of the OR gate IC4 becomes Low when both the 9th input terminal and the 10th input terminal are High, Low is input to the input terminal IN2 of the drive circuit at time t1. As a result, a voltage of +24 V is output from the third output terminal of the drive circuit, so that the payout motor M rotates in the direction for paying out medals (normal rotation).

When paying out medals, the main control unit 100 sets the payout device operation output (instruction digital signal) from High to Low at the time t1 to enter the drive instruction state, and the payout sensor 160 outputs the detection signal of the paid out medals. It counts and determines whether or not the required amount (N) of medals has been paid out. Then, the payout of N medals is detected at the trailing edge of the Nth detection signal, and the payout motor operation output is changed from Low to High at the time t2 to bring the payout motor M into the stop instruction state.

When the stop instruction state is reached at time t2, the 1st and 2nd input terminals of the OR gate IC2, the 4th input terminal of the AND gate IC3, and the 13th input terminal of the OR gate IC5 change from Low to High, while the OR gate Although the third output terminal of IC2 changes from High to Low, the voltage of the capacitor C of the RC integrating circuit is input to the fifth input terminal of the AND gate IC3. Since the response of the output waveform of the capacitor C is delayed by the time determined by the time constant (τ=C×R) of the integrating circuit, the voltage slowly drops (see pin 5 in FIG. 64). The sixth output terminal of the AND gate IC3 becomes Low only when both the fourth input terminal and the fifth input terminal are High, but when the capacitance (C) and the resistance (R) of the integrating circuit included in the digital circuit are used. Since the No. 5 input terminal maintains High for the time determined according to the constant (.tau.=C.times.R), both the No. 4 input terminal and the No. 5 input terminal become High during the delay time, and 5 after the delay time. As a result of only the No. input terminal becoming Low, the No. 6 output terminal of the AND gate IC3 is Low during the delay time and maintains High after the delay time. The 9th and 10th input terminals of the OR gate IC4 and the 12th input terminal of the OR gate IC5 have the same waveforms as the 6th output terminal. Note that this delay time is not the time constant (τ=C×R) itself, but the response delay time of the gate IC generated according to the integrating circuit.

The 11th output terminal of the OR gate IC5 becomes High if either the 12th input terminal or the 13th input terminal is Low, and therefore High continues to be input to the input terminal IN1 of the drive circuit at the time t2. To be done. The No. 8 output terminal of the OR gate IC4 becomes High when either the No. 9 input terminal or the No. 10 input terminal is Low, so at the time t2, High is input to the input terminal IN2 of the drive circuit. .. As a result, both the input terminal IN1 and the input terminal IN2 become High, and the short-circuit brake shown in FIG. 63(C) is applied to the payout motor M during the delay time. The 6th output terminal of the AND gate IC3 becomes High after the delay time, the 12th input terminal of the OR gate IC5 becomes High similarly to the 6th output terminal, and since the 13th input terminal is also High, the 11th output terminal of the OR gate IC5 becomes The output terminal becomes Low after the delay time. The 8th output terminal of the OR gate IC4 becomes Low when both the 9th input terminal and the 10th input terminal are High, so that Low is input to the input terminal IN2 of the drive circuit after the delay time. As a result, both the input terminal IN1 and the input terminal IN2 become Low, and after the delay time, it becomes OFF (high impedance) shown in FIG. 63D, and the payout motor M is stopped. When the short brake state in FIG. 63(C) is changed to the OFF state (high impedance) in FIG. 63(D), the payout motor M is still slightly rotating in the forward direction, so keep the rotation. As a result, a back electromotive force is generated at both ends of the coil.

That is, the two control digital signals (the 11th output signal of the OR gate IC5 and the 8th output signal of the OR gate IC4) generated from the instructing digital signal (the payout device operation output) are used to drive the payout motor M. And a digital circuit for inputting to the first input terminal (IN1) and the second input terminal (IN2) of the drive circuit for supplying. The digital circuit instructs the drive circuit to output a drive voltage of +24 V when the instruction digital signal indicating the drive instruction state is output (the payout device operation output is Law) from the main control unit 100, and further, the digital signal is output. When an instruction digital signal indicating a stop instruction state is output from the main control unit 100 (discharging device operation output is High), the circuit instructs the drive circuit to perform a brake mode in which short brake is applied during a delay time (braking time). After the delay time, the drive circuit is instructed to enter the stop mode in which the power is off.

FIG. 65 is timing chart actual measurement data of various drive signals.

When the main control unit 100 changes the payout device operation output from High to Low at time t1, the digital circuit keeps the input terminal IN1 of the drive circuit High and the input terminal IN2 of Low. As a result, a voltage of +24V is output from the third output terminal of the drive circuit, and the payout motor M rotates in the direction for paying out medals.

When the main controller 100 changes the payout device operation output from High to Low at time t2, the digital circuit sets both the input terminal IN1 and the input terminal IN2 of the drive circuit to High for the delay time t3. As a result, both coil terminals of the payout motor M are short-circuited (short-circuited) during the delay time t3, and the short brake is applied. The digital circuit sets both the input terminal IN1 and the input terminal IN2 of the drive circuit to Low after the delay time t3. As a result, both coil terminals of the payout motor M are turned off (high impedance), and the payout motor is stopped. Since the payout motor M is not completely stopped but is slowly rotating in the positive direction, it can be seen from the measured value that the counter electromotive force is generated at both ends of the coil.

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 driving pulse signals are continuously supplied to the three phases at the same time, a suction force is generated and the motor suddenly stops.

The step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c have a 4-phase 1-2 excitation method and have 252 steps/revolution (1.43 degrees/step), and when the main control unit 100 inputs a driving pulse signal of 504 pulses, exactly. Rotate once. 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 grasped accurately. 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 rotary shafts of the step motors 30a (not shown), 30b (not shown), and 30c, respectively. And rotates in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure (that is, from top to bottom). Further, on the outer peripheral portion of each drum, 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, and the same symbol (predetermined in the variable display game The winning combination is established (winning or actuation) if the given symbols are displayed on the window 3 side by side on the activated line. 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 spinning 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) by 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 pattern, the middle drum pattern, and the right drum pattern 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, various small winning 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 for example, in order to make it inconspicuous to the player, "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 pulling in the symbol of the winning combination on the activated line as much as possible is performed. 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 after the internal winning of the big bonus, this effective state is effective. When the symbol "7" is located within 4 frames above the line (that is, within 5 frames including the symbol 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 so as to be a combination of “7, 7, 7” (see FIG. 7(B)). ..

On the other hand, even if one of the winning combinations is internally won by the lottery, it will not be in an advantageous state for the player unless a 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). It should be noted that this pull-in control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on any symbol of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. The main control unit 100 refers to a stop table that determines the stop position of each drum according to the random number lottery result (internal winning or loss), and sequentially calculates the number of sliding frames for the virtual stop operation symbol frame position in advance. 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 frames 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 effective 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 or 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 so that the symbols are displayed in a predetermined combination by the pull-in control (operation order and The assist information such as operation timing: AT information) is notified by the display effect device 11 or the voice.

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

The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and if the lottery result is lost and the winning combination is not achieved (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 right below 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 "pushing" with the symbol "7" positioned 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 for moving the symbol "7" to at least one destination and forcibly losing it so that "7, 7, 7" are not aligned on the activated line. (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 unwinned small winning symbols do not win. The pull-in control and the avoidance control (kicking control) are performed by the main control unit 100 based on the sliding piece number table created in advance with reference 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 pattern 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 drive pulse signal, and the drive 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 to 24 pulses, the symbol position data is "21", and the drive pulse signal is in the range of 25 to 48 pulses, the symbol position data is "20", The drive pulse signal is 49 pulses to 72 pulses, the symbol position data is "19",..., The drive pulse signal is 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 having a prescribed pattern that is input to the motor coil in order 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 the 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 phase data of the lower 3 bits. 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 windows 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 symbol is exactly in the upper row, the main control unit 100 operates the window portion. The cherry symbol is stopped 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 for convenience of explanation, this is noted. In addition, since it is specified that the vehicle should stop within 190 ms after the stop operation, four frames may not slip. The data of 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 10(A) and 0 overlapping with the cherry symbol indicates the number of sliding symbols, and the main control unit 100 causes 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 a range in which avoidance control and the like are performed, and the main control unit 100 indicates that the cherry symbols are 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 a position slightly past the upper position, one of the upper positions or one of the lower positions is operated. Stop the cherry pattern one below and lose. 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. Assuming that the lowermost position of the unit 3 is the measurement reference, the main control unit 100 has 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, a skilled person can push it and win with a probability close to 100%. ..

FIG. 12 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

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 the cherry symbol of the two payouts 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 as described later, recently, there are many one lines and irregular lines.

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: first line) and the upper row and the diagonally lower right corner. For example, 15 game medals (8 cards×2 lines but MAX 15: the second line and the fourth line) are paid out. In other words, the game media of the payout number stipulated 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 the case of this figure, the display effect control unit 11b is provided with the ROM 11c separately, 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 according 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 sends ($Z0$00) as an effect command, for example, the display panel 11e mainly indicates a state where there is no stock of the pseudo bonus or a state where it is difficult to win the pseudo bonus. Display pattern 0" is displayed (see FIG. 15(A)). On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($Y0$00) as a production 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 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 an effect command, the display panel 11e superimposes "Dracula Castle" which is an image corresponding to "Castle effect 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. Then, after entering the Dracula Castle, the door expands (see FIG. 16B), the door is gradually opened (see FIG. 16C), and the inside of the gorgeous “Dracula 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, there is a pseudo bonus stock and the release of the pseudo bonus is confirmed, and the real bonus inside is elected and the real bonus release is 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 enlarged, and the butler of the character screams “Orya”. Along with the sound effect "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) (see FIG. 17(C)) to create a premium effect. All of these display effects are also executed by receiving a control command and event data from the main control unit 100 and outputting the effect command 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) in which the probability of loss is high, and when the main control unit 100 makes an internal lottery in synchronization with the timing at which 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, a regular bonus (RB) in the range of random numbers m1+1 to m2, cherry in the range of random numbers m2+1 to m3, watermelon in the range of random numbers m3+1 to m4, and bell 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 (game 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), and the winning range of the replay is widened by α in the replay time, while the range of the loss is narrowed by α. As a result, the winning probability of the replay is set 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 during 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. From the normal state to the high-probability replay state, when the symbol of the RT transition replay role is displayed, the RT state is displayed after the next game, and in this RT state, the small role's texture is displayed or the symbol of the falling replay role is displayed. When it is displayed, it will be in a normal state after the next game.

Although a detailed drawing of the lottery table (lottery data) is omitted, there are six lottery tables 1, lottery tables 2... lottery tables 6 corresponding to the set values 1 to 6 of the payout rate and the inserted medals (regulated number). The main control unit selects a lottery table according to the stage setting 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 winning combinations in the variable display game. In addition, since the expected value for winning the bonus game in the internal lottery is generally the lottery table 1 <lottery table 2 <... <lottery table 6, the player pursues a table with a high setting. However, if it is a machine for exclusive use of three coins, a lottery table for one coin is not necessary. The winning rate is not limited to the winning lottery table. For example, a special game lottery table for increasing the winning probability of a special game (AT game, notification game, etc.) according to the set value by using the same lottery table for all of the set values 1 to 6 Good. As a result, the lottery probabilities of the winning combinations in the set values 1 to 6 are the same, but the chance zone transition rate for transitioning to the special game and the winning probability of the special game can be changed according to the set value.

FIG. 74 is a conceptual diagram of the special lottery table. FIG. 75 is a game state transition diagram (RT state). Note that BB and RB in FIG. 18 will be described as two-type accessory continuous operation devices (so-called penetrating bonuses) that do not change the RT state at all.

The special 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. The difference from FIG. 18 is that a new winning area (numerical number) for the big bonus and the regular bonus is newly provided, and the loss is reduced only in that area, and the total is expanded to 10 to 100 times. That is, when the main control unit 100 performs the internal lottery, the big bonus is won if the random value is in the range of 0 to m1 and the range of n1+1 to n2. If the random value is in the range of m1+1 to m2 and in the range of n2+1 to m7, the regular bonus is won. The main control unit 100 uses the special lottery table by changing (shifting) the setting of the payout rate when the predetermined condition related to the game is satisfied. When the predetermined condition is satisfied in the normal state using the lottery table (game state RT0) of FIG. 18(A), the main control unit 100 changes the setting (shifts), and the lottery of FIG. 74(A). Lottery is performed using the table (game state RT2). Further, when the predetermined condition is satisfied in the RT state using the lottery table (gaming state RT1) of FIG. 18(B), the main control unit 100 changes (shifts) the setting, and FIG. 74(A). Alternatively, the lottery table (game state RT3) of FIG. 74(B) is used. As a result, the winning probabilities of the big bonus and the regular bonus become about 10 to 100 times, so that a so-called probability variation (probability change) state occurs. On the other hand, when the ending condition is satisfied in this probability variation state, the main control unit 100 changes the lottery table of FIG. 74(A) to the lottery table of FIG. 18(A). The lottery table of FIG. 74(B) may be changed to the lottery table of FIG. 18(A) or 18(B).

The predetermined condition and the end condition may be anything as long as they relate to a game-related state. For example, when the operation of the start lever 9 causes the internal replay of the setting transfer replay with a winning probability of about 1/1000, the setting is changed (the setting is transferred), and at the same time, a fanfare is played to inform that effect. After the game, the probability is changed by using this special lottery table. That is, the operation of the start lever 9 is a setting change operation. On the other hand, in the probability fluctuation state, the operation of the start lever 9 causes the internal falling of the setting replay with a winning probability of about 1/100 to be changed, and at the same time the setting is changed, so that the player is disappointed or depressed. Play the music to convey that fact, and use the lottery table corresponding to the setting and RT state in the next game to set the normal setting state. That is, the operation of the start lever 9 also serves as the setting change operation. The setting for using this special lottery table is "0" and cannot be changed to the setting "0" by the setting changing device. However, in the state of the setting "0", the setting changing device sets any of the settings 1-6. If the setting is changed to, the set value will be revamped.

As the setting transfer replay, in the state of RT0, only the setting transfer replay RT2 is won, but when the transfer symbol is displayed by the RT1 replay a to RT1 replay n, the setting transition replay becomes the state of the chance zone RT1a to RT1n. The winning probability of changes from 1/300 to 1/10. In the states of RT1a to RT1n, in addition to the setting transfer replay RT2, the setting transfer replay RT3 can be elected, and when the setting transfer replay RT3 is elected, the state is moved to RT3. When the transition symbol is displayed by RT0 replay in the state of RT1a to RT1n, the state returns to the state of RT0. In the state of RT2 of the setting "0", in addition to the set fall replay, the RT3 replay can be elected, and when the RT3 replay is elected, the state shifts to the state of RT3. The state of RT3 is a large chance zone in which the set fall replay is not won, and if the BB or RB wins in this state, a permanent consecutive chan is possible. When the transition symbol is displayed by RT2 replay in the state of RT3, it returns to the state of RT2. In most cases, the BB and RB are won at the same time as the rare small win, and after the bonus inside, the BB game or the RB game is played when the bonus symbol is displayed, and the original RT state is returned.

As another example, a case where the predetermined condition is a bonus combination will be described. The BB role (big bonus) is the probability variation bonus, and the RB role (regular bonus) is the normal bonus. Although the BB combination is a penetrating bonus, it is a type 1 RB combination accessory operating device, and returns to RT0 after the RB bonus ends. It is assumed that the pachi-slot machine according to the present invention is capable of changing the setting of the payout rate or the machine division to any one of 1 to 6 by the setting changing device, and is reset to the setting 6, for example.

In the initial state (RT0), the main control unit 100 uses the lottery table (non-RT) of the setting 6 shown in FIG. 18A to perform the lottery of the winning combination, and when the RT transition replay symbol is displayed, FIG. Since the lottery for the winning combination is performed using the lottery table (RT1) of setting 6 shown in (B), a high-probability replay state is set.

In the main control unit 100, in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, the RB combination is internally won, the RB game is played after the symbols are displayed, and when the RB game is finished, the process returns to RT0. On the other hand, in the main control unit 100, in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, the BB combination internally wins, and the BB game is played after the symbols are displayed. When the transition condition (setting change condition) is satisfied after the BB game is over, the main control unit 100 shifts the current setting 6 to another setting 0. This transition condition is triggered at the same time as the start operation of the game, any one of the operation of the stop switch of the game, the insertion of the game medal of the next game, the operation of the insertion button of the next game, and the start operation of the next game. Then, the current setting is changed to another setting. If the BB combination wins in the setting 0 state, the state is set 0 again after the BB game, but if the RB combination wins, the original setting 6 RT1 state is obtained after the RB game. In other words, the state of setting 0 ends when the RB game with the RB combination is exhausted, so that a bonus is guaranteed at least once when setting 0. If the winning ratio of the BB role and the RB role is set to 1:1, the probability of ending with 5 consecutive chan including the first BB can be calculated as 1/8. If the winning ratio of the BB role and the RB role is set to 4:1 (BB probability 80%), the probability of ending 5 consecutive chans is about 1/10, and the probability of continuing more chan is 4/10, which is permanent. It is also possible to make consecutive chans. If a plurality of types of probability variation BB combinations are provided and the winning ratios of BB combinations and RB combinations differ depending on the types, the interest will increase.

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 occurs, the flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and the number of medals acquired when these symbols are aligned Is 0, the player enters a big bonus game (BB game: operation of the accessory continuously operating device) and ends with payout of more than 360 pieces.

RB (Regular Bonus) is a role name when the RB design of "Blue 7" is aligned on the activated line. When internal winning, flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area and the number of medals acquired when this design is aligned. Is 0, the player enters the 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 first-class special effects or second-class special effects, and are appropriately selected according to design specifications.

When the cherry symbol stops on the activated line of the left drum, one medal is won per activated line. For example, if the effective line is the display determination diagram of FIG. 14, the number is one if the middle stage of the left drum is stopped, but if the upper line or the lower stage is two, the number of effective 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 called a replay combination winning prize). When the re-replay operation symbol is displayed, the re-game without medals is activated, and the player operates the start lever 9 to re-play and lower the flag (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, when the spinning drum type game machine is shipped from the factory, as a default, the warning mode is "ON state" when the throwing rate setting operation is performed, and the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) is "OFF". , And the lowest setting value is "1".

On the gaming hall side, when the front door of the rotating type gaming machine main body 1 is opened and the power switch 28c is turned on before the game is played by the player, power is supplied to each circuit block, and the main control unit 100 will be described later. In step S100, an initial check (hardware abnormality check, etc.) and an initial setting (for example, a stop setting flag “1”, a set value “1” stored in the ROM 101, and an initial value of control data are written to the RAM 102). 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 gaming hall side intends 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 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). (See the enlarged view of the setting key switch) and turn 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 control unit 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 set value "6" with the highest payout rate before allowing the player to play, hits the start lever 9 once to confirm the set value, and sets the key switch for setting. 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.

In addition, when the main control unit 100 outputs 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 transmits to the performance device 11. As a result, on the display panel 11e, a "night production pattern 1" including a full moon, Dracula's castle, and a graveyard screen in the night sky is displayed as a start screen (not shown).

When the process proceeds to step S130 after the setting value is changed, the main control unit 100 checks 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 error process is performed again. While returning to S100, if there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S150. In particular, the main control unit 100 sets the data of the set value stored in the work RAM area to 0 to 5 (the set values displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c correspond to 1 to 6) as the abnormality check. It is confirmed whether or not it is within the range, and if the set value is not within the predetermined range, a warning is given by the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12 and the game state display LED unit 13 (character display of “EE” error, light emission and A warning sound is generated 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 by the medal detection sensor 130 or the bet button sensor 140, and if 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 there is a medal insertion operation.

After shifting to step S160, the main control unit 100 confirms whether or not the player operates the start lever to start the variable display game, and if so, shifts to step S170 while starting it. 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 the internal winning is performed by comparing the lottery table of No. (see the description of FIG. 18).

The main control unit 100 transmits the lottery result command and the game start signal to the sub control unit 160, rotates the drum units 2 all at once, and displays the plural numbers displayed 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 each 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 or the like 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 refers to the sliding frame number table to execute the stop control.

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). According to the above), a game medal is paid out from the medal payout device 18 and paid out from the medal payout exit 16 for a payout that is added as a credit or exceeds the storage upper limit value.

In addition, in the big bonus game (BB game) in which three reds 7 are gathered, the BB game mode ends when the winning device continuous operation device operates and the number of acquired images exceeds 360. Further, in the regular bonus game (RB game) in which three blue 7 symbols are arranged, 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 main control unit 100 ends the game main process of step S170, 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-reel type gaming 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) If the real bonus is won during the pseudo bonus, after the real bonus ends, 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 the pseudo bonus is released, the color of the design is changed by repeatedly hitting the special button when winning the white 7REP. (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. , Prompts the continuous operation of the special button 14. For example, the number of operations of color change timing is determined in advance, such as white→yellow by three times, yellow→green by five times, and green→red by seven times by lottery. The emission color of the display LED is controlled. In addition, when the white 7 replay is not won, the design in the V-shaped position with the star mark in the same figure is similarly changed to four 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 loaded by the replay winning, the top lamp emits light and blinks in the determined color. (8) When the real bonus is internally won during the pseudo bonus or stock time, a long-term pseudo bonus standby state is set after the end of the real bonus game, and promotion lottery is performed. Each time 10 games are played in this pseudo bonus standby state, the pseudo bonus self-ranking lottery is performed, and when the special button 14 is pressed while the operation is enabled (the internal LED is blinking), the winning lottery is drawn at that timing. Is executed. (9) The stock method is characterized in that the number of back stocks and types are selected by a lottery trigger to determine the number of releases. (10) In the RT1 state, the RT3 transition rip is simultaneously won with the actual bonus→the RT3 state does not shift from the RT1 state to the RT3, so that the actual bonus winning is found. (11) When the actual bonus is internally won and the middle-tier cherry is won, the cherry symbol is stopped at the corner (upper or lower), 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. If the pseudo bonus is won in the pseudo game, the same reach reach is pseudo stopped by the stop operation. (15) When the reach replay is won during the pseudo bonus, if the release lottery does not win the release, the normal push is performed by pressing the right button, and if the release wins, no effect is produced. (16) Back stock: The normal ST win rate is lowered to make it difficult to win, the pseudo ST win rate is raised during the pseudo BB, and the new wins are 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 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. (18) In the RT3 state, the winning area of the replay combination is narrowed to have a lost area at 655/65536 (about 1/100). The reason is that it is possible to give an illusion of reach by giving a lost eye, and to give the player a sense of expectation. (19) The winning probability of the pseudo ST greatly differs between the normal game state and the pseudo bonus game state, and the latter has a much higher probability of winning than the former. The types of stocked pseudo bonuses are memorized in the order in which they are stocked, and the pseudo bonus memorized 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 the actual bonus is waiting (inside), not only does the Freeze Lottery not be performed even if the middle-tiered Cherry character wins internally, the stop control is changed to stop the Cherry symbol in the upper or lower row, The middle cherry winning combination is displayed as a double cherry winning combination or a triple cherry winning combination. (22) When the reach replay is won during the pseudo bonus, the stock lottery is performed, and when the win is won, the pushing order is not displayed, but when the reel is not won, the right first pushing order is displayed. 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 pattern 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 pattern, the middle drum pattern, and the right drum pattern 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 array of patterns (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.

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 effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of inserted game medals (FIG. 22 ( See A)). However, in all the games (regular games, assist games, bonus games, etc.), description will be made assuming that the prescribed 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: center horizontal line) in the order of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c. ) Is only valid. That is, in all the games, it is a central horizontal one line by always inserting three cards.

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 makes 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) all stop on the same line. Then, the number of acquired sheets is 0 and bonus 1 is given thereafter (BB1 operates). The bonus 1 has a winning probability of 1/1000, for example, and ends when the game number in the bonus 1 exceeds 3 and the payout number 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 next game and subsequent games are brought into the carry-over state (RT4) in which bonus 1 is internally won, but until bonus 1 is won, the replay winning probability in each game is about 1. 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 (type 1 continuous accessory operating 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 inserted games in the bonus 2 exceeds 3 and the number of payouts exceeds 180. When the bonus 2 is internally won by the lottery and the bonus 2 flag is set, the bonus 2 can be won. Further, 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 (replay winning probability 1/7.3:RT0) is returned to. 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 acquired number 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 goes 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 on the same line, the 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 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 design is displayed in the upper row. 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, (replay 2) on the right drum 2c, stop when aligned on the effective line. 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 the left drum 2a has the number 18 (BAR), the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c (replay 2) are stopped on the same 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 are 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 tier cherry: For example, when the 19th (cherry) on the left drum 2a, the 13th (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and the 4th (white 7) on the right drum 2c are stopped on the same line, , 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 one-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 the role name when the replay symbols (replays 1 to 3) for each drum are lined up on the activated line. No medals are won for this, but the number of bets for that game The next game can be played while maintaining. It is also 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 fails. The effect of automatically inserting medals before the start of the game is performed, and the next game can be played by the player operating the start lever 9. 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 horizontal 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 name 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 in a state where the bet number of the game is maintained. 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. RT1 transition replay is internally won in the random number lottery, and when 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): It is a role name 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 in a state where the bet number of the game is maintained. 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): 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 in a state where the bet number of the game is maintained. 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. However, 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 RT4 state has in which the replay probability is approximately 1/2. , It is recognized that the bonus combination has been internally won (effect). There is no other gaming machine having such a characteristic configuration and exhibiting a unique effect.

(17) White 7 replay: It is a 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 simultaneously with 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 a 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 name 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. In, the game is activated when the symbol is displayed. This white 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 aiming at the white 7 pattern in a predetermined push order ( When the specific operation including the operation sequence 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 (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR) on the right drum 2c 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 order 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 available, one of the other replay combinations that is simultaneously won always wins.

The white 7 replay and the white BAR replay are re-play roles 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 along the center line (see FIG. 24(A)). In particular, in White 7 replay, there are five game states that are stocked during the bonus game and have different winning probabilities for the pseudo bonuses that will be settled, and in order to notify the player of this, the White 7 symbol will be in five 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 arbitrary colors. 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 sequentially from white to the color corresponding to 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. When the player gives a proper instruction (notifying a specific operation) and 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 shifting to a special additional game called stock time for stocking pseudo bonus, instructs to aim the BAR symbol by pressing backward (informs specific operation), and the player correctly When operated, the BAR symbols are aligned and displayed in a straight line in the center (see FIG. 24C).

(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 way, the re-game is activated when a symbol is displayed. This reach eye replay is won simultaneously with a plurality of other types of replay combinations for stop control (or for push order control), and when the BAR symbol is operated in a predetermined left-first scissors press order, BAR is operated. 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 operation sequence and operation timing) aiming at the 13th BAR symbol at the 3rd stop. However, any of the BAR symbol, the replay symbol, and the bell symbol does not stop on the effective line and becomes a loose eye (see FIG. 24(D)). There are twelve types of such reach-eye replays, 1 to 12, and when the reach-eye is displayed, a bonus win occurs. In other words, despite the fact that three different symbols have been tempted, none of them wins the prize to announce 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 performs 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 later is displayed.

(21) Push-order small winning combination (push-order bell winning combination) is a special pattern (1 to m): a special pattern (falling pattern) displayed on the activated line when the bell-winning role is missed by a push-order small winning combination 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 for 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 one of the multiple small wins of multiple types that is simultaneously won is awarded and a case where one of the multiple Koboshi eyes (the missing pattern of the bell small win) is displayed. It is a small role.

In the push order bell 1, the correct first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, and the correct correct second stop operation is the push order small win of the left stop button 10a. There are 9 kinds 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 seeing the result (stop pattern) of each reel. , 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 aimed to win the prize (bell win: FUR1), and the second small win is to prevent 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 (FUR3: either (watermelon 1/watermelon 2) on the left drum, bell on the middle drum, and white (7/watermelon) on the right drum) that constitutes the third small role for the purpose of inhibiting winning of the winning combination. Any of the four types of small symbol combinations that can be won in the symbol combination display) will be won at the same time (see push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 25).

In the push order bell 2, the correct first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, and the correct correct second stop operation is 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 (stopping pattern) of each reel 1 It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the design so as not to drop 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 press order subordinate of the left stop button 10a. Since there are nine types of push order bell 3-1 to push order bell 3-9, push order bell 3 is similar to push order bell 1, so that 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 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. Since there are nine types of push order bell 4-1 to push order bell 4-9 in the push order bell 4, 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 unit 10 aiming at the design so as not to drop the single hand. In addition, there is one kind of 3 choice bell (1st left push order bell) that wins the bell if the first stop operation is correct, as the push order bell role, and the left push order bell wins and the middle push or right push In this case, if the small bell is dropped and the texture is displayed, the process shifts to RT1, but since FUR3 and FUR4 of push order bell 1 to push order bell 4 are not won, explanation by the drawing is omitted. In other words, the push-order bell combination is essentially a 5-choice bell combination in which the winning order for winning the prize is made.

Although not shown, a left-first push-order small win can be created by overlappingly winning a plurality of small wins having the same function. For example, in the push order bell 5, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the left stop button 10a, and the second stop operation that is the correct answer is the press order small win of the middle stop button 10b. In the push order bell 6, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the left stop button 10a, and the second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small win of the right stop button 10c.

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 simultaneously. 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 pull 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. 27(B), 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 of 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. The left drum 2a is stopped in the range of and the 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 the sliding frame number table 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 performs pulling control of the bell symbol to the effective line (Fig. 27(D)).

FIG. 28 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion 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 sequence. 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 activated line is performed (see FIG. 28C). In the state of FIG. 28(C), the FUR 3 is in a balance. 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 on 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. 28(D)). In the above example, when the first stop operation is correct, either FUR1 or FUL3 is sure to win, but by arranging 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. Based on the above, the right drum 2c is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and the control for 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. 29(B), 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 of the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, left in the range of 0 to 4 frames. 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 slide 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 the Replay 2 symbol or the 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, only FUR12 or FUR15 may 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 for pulling the symbol into the activated line is performed, but 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 push order small win (Fig. 30(C)). At this point, all small wins are no longer available. The main control unit 100 creates a slide frame 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 pattern, bell pattern) is displayed to draw the bell pattern 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 (replay combination) has not changed, and is a game or a bonus game (BB1 or BB2: 1 type immediately after the set value is reset). Or, the general game starts from the next game in which the two-type accessory continuous operation device) is finished and the initial state (also referred to as the “initial replay state”) is started. The replay winning probability (replay probability) in this general game is about 1/7.3, and in particular, RT1 transition replay (replay 1), RT2 transition replay (replay 2) and RT3 transition replay (replay 3) Since it is not won, in order to shift to RT1 from this state, the above-mentioned push-down small winning combination must be stopped and displayed on the activated line. On the other hand, even if BB1 (bonus 1) or BB2 (bonus 2) is internally won, the symbols are displayed and the game is finished or the predetermined number of coins are paid out, only RT4, bonus game, RT0 are obtained, so this route also moves to RT1. You cannot do it.

In the general game in the RT0 state, when the push order small combination 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 is started from the next game (continuation). The number of games is not fixed, that is, infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state (normal game state) is also about 1/7.3, and most of the winning combinations shown in FIG. 23 are randomly selected, and it is possible to win a single or multiple simultaneous wins. That is, the game in the initial state and the RT1 state is a game state in which the replay probabilities are approximately the same, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is the 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 always wins at the same time as either BB1 or BB2, the RT3 state does not shift to the RT3 state but shifts to the RT4 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 (specific 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 becomes the RT2 state in which it is increased to about 1/1.5. Also, in the RT2 state (state in which ART is in preparation), 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%). There will be 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 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 the Kobo eyes) (fall replay).

When the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) internally wins and operates in the RT2 state, the RT3 state (ART state) has approximately the same replay probability of about 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 give 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 Koboshi eyes of the role of a 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 RT4 state (the bonus internal state) is transferred to the player without changing to the RT1 state. It is also possible to notify that any one has won the internal election (a unique 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 stop when all the drums are internally elected and aim for the blue 7 symbol on each drum, and will end when the number of payouts exceeds the specified number after the operation (after bonus 1 game), and 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 over the blue 7 symbol. This is because the drum unit 2 is stopped and controlled so as to be drawn onto the effective line. In addition, if the blue 7 symbol is aimed at the timing when the symbol of the internal winning small combination cannot be drawn, it is possible to arrange the bonus symbols and stop them.

The bonus 2 is the same as the bonus 1, and when the player independently wins the inside and aims for the blue 7 symbol, the blue 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol for each drum, they stop together and the number of payouts after the operation (after the bonus 2 game) When the number exceeds the specified number, it 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 only the effect control (the sub control unit 160 is irrelevant to the payout performance). The main control unit 100 controls by itself whether or not to activate the pseudo bonus, and has the function that the sub control unit 160 in the related art has performed. That is, the sub control unit 160 does not participate in the release of the pseudo bonus. However, the sub-control unit 160 may control the winning of the pseudo bonus as usual.

When the set value is re-entered, 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. It should be noted that this initial state is the RT0 state of FIG. 31, and when the unsuccessful eye of the press 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 through 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 shows 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. A game number display section (game number display area) is formed in the upper right of the display effect device 11, and when the power is turned off and then turned on, the number of games is cleared and 0G is displayed. After that, one game is added each time a game start operation is accepted. FIG. 34A shows that the power is turned on from the power off state and 110 games are executed. FIG. 34B is a night stage screen, which is displayed mainly because it is used in a state in which the probability of winning the pseudo bonus is extremely high (ultra-high probability state) or in a state in which internal winning (release winning state) has occurred. Then, the player is uplifted with the expectation of pseudo bonus release. Although not shown, there is also an evening stage, which is used in a highly accurate state with an intermediate probability between the normal state 1 or the normal state 2 with a low probability and the ultra-high accuracy. FIG. 34B shows that the next game has been accepted from the state of FIG. 34A and the 111th game is being executed.

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, and a strong bell or chance that can be obtained independently regardless of the pushing 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, each time the replay is won, the falling lottery is performed with a predetermined probability, so that the normal screen in the daytime, the screen in the evening, and the screen in the night are alternately displayed at a predetermined frequency during the general game. In general, these display screens switch the effect according to 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. 34(C) is a night game production screen, and when the player operates the start lever from the night stage screen to start the variable display game, the main control unit 100 causes the rare control role to win a predetermined condition such as Each time, the pseudo bonus lottery (AT bonus lottery) is performed. When the main control unit 100 carries out the pseudo bonus lottery, the sub-control unit 160 conveys the fact 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 thunder and sound effects, the player's expectation can be further fueled. The sub-control unit 160 may perform the pseudo bonus lottery. FIG. 34C shows that the 111th game has been digested from the state of FIG. 34B and the 222nd game is being executed.

The main control unit 100, in the normal game state and the aura game state, by the operation of the start lever 9, if any of the push order small win group (push order bell 1 to push order bell 6) internally wins, the push order small win Only information indicating that the player has won (eg, winning combination command) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160. As a result, the sub-control unit 160 can know that the push order small winning combination has been won, but cannot know the push order information for winning the bell combination (winning purpose small winning combination) with the highest payout. As a result, even if the control software of the sub control unit 160 is tampered with, the goto action cannot be executed. In other words, when the start lever 9 is operated, the main control unit 100 transmits the winning combination information to the sub control unit 160, so that the goto action can be easily executed.

Specifically, in the normal game state and the aura game state, the main control unit 100, first, the sub-control unit 160, the information indicating that the winning combination by the operation of the start lever 9 is the push order small winning combination group. Send to. The sub-control unit 160 can generate a yellow navigation as a bell role and a white navigation as a loss. Secondly, in the main control unit 100, when any one of the stop button units 10 is first stopped in a state in which the drum unit 2 is rotating, the first stop operation is a correct answer operation or an incorrect answer operation. The sub-control unit 160 transmits information indicating that The sub-control unit 160 may continue the yellow navigation if the correct operation is performed, and may stop the yellow navigation if the incorrect operation is performed. Thirdly, when any one of the stop button parts 10 is subjected to a second stop operation while the drum part 2 is rotating two times, the main control part 100 causes the second stop operation to be a correct answer operation or an incorrect answer operation. Information indicating the operation is transmitted to the sub control unit 160. If the first stop operation and the second stop operation are both correct operations, the sub-control unit 160 continues the yellow navigation, and the bell combination is won by the third stop operation. Does not win, so you may cancel the yellow navigation.

FIG. 76 is a transmission image diagram of winning combination information.

The main control unit 100 has a specification of transmitting a signal from the main board to the sub-control section 160 of the peripheral board so that the condition device that operates in multiple stages can be narrowed down for each operation trigger. The sub-control unit 160 (sub-board) switches the effect to be generated according to the signal of increasing reliability sent at each occasion. In the case of this specification, since the sub-control unit 160 does not know the condition device that internally wins when the lever is pressed, even if the peripheral board is modified, it is not possible to perform navigation that affects the result of the game.

FIG. 77 is a conceptual diagram showing a notification effect screen of winning combination information.

First of all, when the internal winning combination by operating the start lever 9 is the chance winning combination, the main control unit 100 causes the chance winning combination (winning combination) and a plurality of non-internal winning combinations (cherry combination in this case). , Bell role, watermelon role) to the sub-control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 displays information on the winning combination and a plurality of non-internal winning combinations on the display effect device (see FIG. 77(A)). Secondly, when one of the stop button units 10 is first stopped, the main control unit 100 excludes one of the non-internal winning combinations (in this case, the Cherry combination), and wins a chance (winning combination). Information on the winning combination) and a plurality of non-internal winning combinations (in this case, a Bell winning combination and a watermelon winning combination) are transmitted to the sub-control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 excludes one of the non-internal winning combinations (cherry combination in this case), and displays the information of the winning combination and a plurality of non-internal winning combinations on the display effect device (see FIG. 77(B)). ).

Thirdly, when any one of the stop button units 10 is secondly stopped, the main control unit 100 excludes one of the non-internal winning combinations (in this case, the Bell winning combination), and the chance winning combination (winning combination). The information of the winning combination) and the non-internal winning combination (in this case, the watermelon winning combination) is transmitted to the sub control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 excludes one of the non-internal winning combinations (in this case, the Bell winning combination) and displays the information of the winning combination and the non-internal winning combination on the display effect device (see FIG. 77(C)). Finally, when the stop button unit 10 is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 excludes one of the non-internal winning combinations (in this case, the watermelon winning combination), and the information of the chance winning combination (winning combination). Is transmitted to the sub control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 excludes one of the non-internal winning combinations (in this case, the Bell winning combination) and displays the winning combination information on the display effect device (see FIG. 77(D)).

FIG. 78 is a conceptual diagram showing the notification effect screen of the winning combination information and the drum section.

First of all, when the internal winning combination by operating the start lever 9 is a real bonus winning combination, the main control unit 100 determines the actual bonus winning combination (winning combination) and a plurality of non-internal winning combinations (in this case, the Bell winning combination). , Replay part) information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160, and at the same time, a BAR symbol effect command for aiming the BAR symbol is transmitted. The sub-control unit 160 displays the information of the winning combination and a plurality of non-internal winning combinations on the display effect device (see FIG. 78(A)), and performs the first stop operation of the left stop button 10a aiming at the BAR symbol. A BAR symbol effect for instructing is executed.

Secondly, when the first stop operation is correctly performed, the BAR symbol is stopped at the lower stage of the left reel, and the main control unit 100 causes the real bonus combination (winning combination) and a plurality of non-internal winning combinations (in this case). , Bell, replay) information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160, and a BAR symbol effect command for aiming the BAR symbol is transmitted. The sub-control unit 160 displays information on the winning combination and a plurality of non-internal winning combinations on the display effect device (see FIG. 78(B)), and performs the second stop operation of the right stop button 10c aiming at the BAR symbol. A BAR symbol effect for instructing is executed.

Thirdly, when the second stop operation is correctly performed, the BAR symbol is stopped on the upper stage of the right reel (see FIG. 78(E)), and the main control unit 100 sub-controls the information of the actual bonus combination (winning combination). Along with the transmission to the unit 160, a BAR symbol effect command for aiming the BAR symbol is transmitted. The sub-control unit 160 sequentially turns on/blinks the displayed "bonus", "bell", and "replay" like a roulette wheel to rotate the character, and the third stop of the middle stop button 10b aiming at the BAR symbol. A BAR symbol effect for instructing to operate is executed. In FIG. 78(E), the BAR symbol, the bell symbol, and the replay symbol are in a ten-pie state.

Finally, when the third stop operation is properly performed, the main control unit 100 stops the BAR symbol on the lower stage of the middle reel, and wins the actual bonus by the lost eye (one appearance mode of the reach eye of FIG. 47). A notification is given (see FIG. 78(F)). The sub control unit 160 displays the information of the winning combination (actual bonus) on the display effect device (see FIG. 78D). When the “bell” or the “replay” is won, the main control unit 100 can stimulate the player by executing the same effect.

FIG. 66 is a flowchart showing the lottery table and the effect processing procedure.

The sub-control unit 160 receives set value data (data indicating any one of 1 to 6) from the main control unit 100 in addition to various control control data for each game when a plurality of spinning drums starts to rotate. ing. The setting suggestion effect of the setting value data will be described.

The setting suggestion effect is a game number display portion (area) provided in the upper right of the display effect device 11 and a light emission effect in which the frame lightly glows in pink and a stop button portion 10 (left stop button 10a, middle stop button). 10b and a right stop button 10c) are vibration effects. The game number counter is cleared to 0 when the power is turned on (power is turned on) or the real bonus and the pseudo bonus are finished. When the number-of-games counter becomes 111 games, 135 games, 222 games, 246 games, 333 games,... 1111 games, 1222 games, a range of 0 to 32767 for the lottery of whether or not to execute the setting suggestion effect The random number generated in is extracted, and if the random number is less than the set number, it is won.

The sub-control unit 160 clears the game number counter N to 0 in step S410, and along with the start operation of the start lever 9 in step S415, the lottery result and the set value (step set value) of the winning combination transmitted by the main control unit 100. ) To receive. Then, the sub control unit 160 determines whether or not the bonus (actual bonus or pseudo bonus) is in progress in step S420, and if the bonus is in progress, the game is ended by operating the stop button unit 10 in steps S450 to S470 (step S480). ) Then, the process returns to step S415 to wait for the start operation of the start lever 9 again. On the other hand, if it is not during the bonus, 1 is added to the game number counter N in step S425, and the game number counter N is matched with the game number counter value (for example, 111 games, 135 games...1222) in the lottery placement number table in step S430. Determine whether to do. If they do not match, the sub-control unit 160 returns to step S415 through steps S450 to S470 and step S480, while if they match, the effect lottery is extracted at step S435 (the random number is extracted and the random number is less than the set number). If it is not a win, the process proceeds to step S450 and thereafter, but if it is a win, the light emission effect is first performed in step S440. In addition, a vibration effect that vibrates the stop button unit 10 is performed according to the operation of the stop button unit 10.

Specifically, in the state of FIG. 34(A) of the 110th game, when the lottery result of the winning combination and the set value 1 are received by the start operation of the start lever 9, the sub control unit 160 determines that this game is the 111th game. (See FIG. 34(B)), which coincides with the game number counter value of 111, an effect lottery is performed to extract a random number (set to 100), and this random number value 100<number of placed 6553 (set value 1 It is determined that the relationship of the number of placed items) is satisfied, and the suggestion effect is executed to make the game number display portion (area) and its frame lightly emit pink light. Since the set value is 1, when the first stop operation (any one of the left button, the middle button, and the right button) corresponding to this “1” is accepted, the vibration motor arranged in the stop button unit 10 is activated. It vibrates to suggest the set value 1 to the player, and when the operation button is released, the vibration is stopped. On the other hand, if the extracted random number value is 6553 or more, it is determined that the winning is unsuccessful and the suggestive effect is not executed.

Further, in the state of FIG. 34C, the sub-control unit 160, since this game is the 222nd game and coincides with the game number counter value 222, performs an effect lottery and sets a random number (value 2000). It is determined that the relationship of this random number value 2000<the number of places 3276 (the number of places corresponding to the setting value 1) is satisfied, and the suggestion effect is executed to display the game number display portion (area) and its frame. It emits a light pink light. When the second stop operation (any of the left button, the middle button, and the right button) corresponding to “2” is accepted as the fake effect of the set value 2 despite the set value 1, the stop is performed. The vibration motor arranged in the button unit 10 is vibrated to suggest fake the setting value 2 to the player (false suggestion effect), and when the operation button is released, the vibration is stopped. On the other hand, if the extracted random number value is a value of 3276 or more, it is determined that the winning is unsuccessful and the suggestive effect is not executed. In this way, by interweaving the correct suggestive effect and the false suggestive effect, there is a unique effect that the player can imagine various setting values.

The contents of the suggestion by the suggestion production are set value 1 suggestion for the 111th game, odd set suggestion for the 135th game, and set 2 for the 222nd game, as described in the remarks of the lottery table (see FIG. 66(A)). Suggestion, 246th game suggests even number setting, 333rd game suggests setting 3, 444th game suggests, 456th game suggests setting 4 or higher or even setting suggestion, 555th game suggests setting 5 or higher or odd number suggestion, 666 game The eyes are setting 6 or even number suggestion, the 777th game is setting 6 suggesting, the 888th game is setting 23456 suggesting, the 999th game is setting 3456 suggesting, the 1111th game is setting 456 suggesting, and the 1222nd game is setting 56 suggesting.

In other words, one is selected from a plurality of setting values, the game has a normal game and a special game more advantageous than the normal game, and the main control unit 100 is triggered by the establishment of the transition condition, Shift from normal games to special games. The sub-control unit 160 executes a suggestion effect that suggests the determined set value. There is a suggestion production lottery table that defines lottery data according to a plurality of set values and the number of games, and the sub-control unit 160 uses the lottery data defined by the suggestion production lottery table to perform the lottery lottery for the suggestion production. The probability that the transition condition to the special game is satisfied is determined according to the determined setting value, and the sub-control unit 160 is triggered by the fact that the number of games according to the determined setting value has been reached. If the winning lottery for the suggestion effect is performed and the winning lottery is won, the suggestion effect is executed. The lottery data (number of placed items) defined by the suggestion production lottery table is set to have a high winning probability when the relationship between the determined set value and the content of the suggestion production is correct, while the probability of winning is set low when it is not correct. (See FIG. 66A). The plurality of set values take any value of odd number or even number, and take any value of integer 1 to integer 6.

FIG. 67 is a flowchart showing the lottery table and the effect processing procedure.

The setting suggestion effect is a vibration effect that vibrates the stop button unit 10. However, the above-described light emission effect may be performed together with the suggestion effect execution setting. Steps S510 to S525 in this figure are the same as steps S410 to S425 in FIG. 66, and thus the description is cited.

The sub-control unit 160 determines in step S530 whether or not the game number counter N matches the game number counter value in the lottery placement number table (for example, 111 games, 222 games..., 1222, 1333). If they do not match, the sub-control unit 160 returns to step S415 through steps S450 to S470 and step S480, while if they match, at step S535, an effect lottery (random number is extracted, and the random number is less than the number If it is a win, the process proceeds to step S550 and subsequent steps, but if it is a win, a suggestion effect flag (indication effect execution setting) is set in step S540, and in response to the operation of the stop button unit 10. , Preparation for performing a vibration effect that vibrates the stop button unit 10 (however, the light emission effect may be performed here).

Specifically, in the state of FIG. 34(A) of the 110th game, when the lottery result of the winning combination and the set value 2 are received by the start operation of the start lever 9, the sub control unit 160 determines that this game is the 111th game. (See FIG. 34(B)), which coincides with the game number counter value of 111, random number (value 5000) is extracted by performing the effect lottery, and this random number value 5000<number of placed 4096 (set value 2) It is determined that the relationship of the number of placed items) is not satisfied, and the suggestive effect is not executed. On the other hand, if the extracted random number value is less than 4096, it is determined that the player has won, and the suggestion effect flag is set. Then, when the sub control unit 160 receives the first stop operation corresponding to “1” as the fake effect of the setting value 1 despite the setting value 2, the sub control unit 160 is arranged in the stop button unit 10. The vibration motor is vibrated to suggest a fake setting value 1 to the player, and the vibration is stopped when the operation button is released.

Further, in the state of FIG. 34C, the sub-control unit 160, since this game is the 222nd game and coincides with the game number counter value 222, performs an effect lottery and sets a random number (value 2000). Is determined, and it is determined that the relationship of this random number value 2000<the number of placed numbers 8192 (the number of placed numbers corresponding to the setting value 2) is satisfied, and the suggestion effect flag is set. Since the set value is 2, when the first stop operation and the subsequent second stop operation corresponding to this "2" are received, the vibration motor arranged in the stop button portion 10 is vibrated to set the set value to the player. 2 is suggested and the vibration is stopped when the operation button is released. That is, in both the first stop operation and the second stop operation, the vibration motor is vibrated to suggest to the player that the set value is 2 or more. Then, in the third stop operation, control is performed so that vibration does not occur. Similarly, when the game is the 333rd game, the game number counter value is 333, and if the lottery is won and the suggestion effect flag is set, the vibration motor is vibrated in all of the first stop operation to the third stop operation. And suggests a set value of 3 or more to the player.

Further, when the game is won in the lottery in the 444th game and the suggestion effect flag is set, all the first to third stop operations of the 444th game and the first stop operation of the next game (the 445th game) vibrate. The motor is vibrated to suggest to the player a set value of 4 or more, and the second stop operation to the third stop operation do not cause vibration. If the player wins in the 555th game, the vibration motor is vibrated by the first stop operation to the third stop operation and the first stop operation to the second stop operation of the next game (the 556th game) to set the value to the player. It suggests 5 or more, and does not vibrate in the third stop operation. If the game is won in the 666th game, the vibration motor is vibrated in all of the first stop operation to the third stop operation and the first stop operation to the third stop operation of the next game (the 667th game), and the set value of 6 is given to the player. Suggests. For example, in the case of setting 3, the probability of winning the suggestive effect in the 333rd game is high at 25% (8192/32768), and is low at 12.5% (4096/32768) in the other games up to the 666th game. . In the 777th game and thereafter, more correct suggestive effects are produced. For example, in the case of setting 1, the probability of winning the suggestive effect in the 777th game is high at 50% (16384/32768), and in the 888th game. After that, it is set as low as 6.25% (2048/32768). The same applies to other setting values.

As a predetermined condition for performing the pseudo bonus lottery described in FIG. 34(C), the lottery condition is established when the acquired score (point) reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold value. In other words, it has the same meaning as a rare small winning role.

FIG. 59 is a point allocation table. FIG. 59(A) shows the point width for the winning combination after the winning lottery, FIG. 59(B) shows before the winning lottery, and FIG. 59(C) shows the point width for the winning combination.

When the main control unit 100 receives the operation of the start lever 9, it determines the winning combination from all the combinations (see FIG. 23), but in FIG. However, the main control unit 100 causes the stop button unit 10 to operate 1-2-3 (left→middle→right, the same applies hereinafter) with 0 points, and the operation with 1-3-2 has 0 points, 2- 1 point for operation 1-3, 0 point for operation 2-3-1, 0 point for operation 3-1-2, 3 points for operation 3-2-1 It indicates that the point distribution table (table data) was created in advance by a lottery as described above. As shown in FIG. 59(C), this point is determined by a sorting lottery with a point width of a minimum of 0 points to a maximum of 3 points for the replay combination. The expected value is set so that on average you can get 4/6 points.

In FIG. 59(B), before accepting the operation of the start lever 9 (before determining the winning combination), the main control unit 100 creates a point allocation table in advance for all winning combinations to which points are to be awarded (see FIG. 23). It shows that it did. As the points to be given points, there are undefeated (rejected), replay, push order bell, upper row watermelon, triple cherry, strong opportunity, but there are weak watermelon and double cherry, but FIG. 59 (C ) Only omits them. The point width and average points are 0 to 1 for unfair (miss), 3/6 for push order bell 0-2, upper watermelon 1-5 for 20/6, and triple cherry 5 10 to 36/6, strong chances 6 to 12, 50/6, and actual bonus is 50 (regardless of the pushing order, no matter how you operate, you get 50 points). Is decided by lottery for each game.

Implementation pattern 1: There are points 1 as points for pseudo bonus lottery and points 2 as points for ceiling, and when the set value is reset, each point is cleared and initialized to 0. There are a threshold value 1 as a threshold value of the pseudo bonus lottery and a threshold value 2 as a ceiling threshold value. The threshold value 1 is set to 200 points and the threshold value 2 is set to 2000. The point 1 starts from an initial value 0, and every time the point is acquired, the point is accumulated and added. For example, when both the point 1 and the point 2 have the initial value 0, the strong chance of FIG. 59(B) is drawn, and if the operation sequence at that time is 2-3-1, 12 points are acquired. And point 2 are 12 respectively.

In this way, when both point 1 and point 2 become 197, the triple cherry of FIG. 59(B) is drawn, and if the operation sequence at that time is 1-2-3, 5 points are acquired. , Point 1 and point 2 are 202 respectively. The main control unit 100 performs a pseudo bonus lottery based on the point 1 reaching 200 points of the threshold 1, in addition to the pseudo bonus lottery when the triple cherry (rare small winning combination) is won. The main control unit 100 subtracts 200 of the threshold value 1 from 200 points of the point 1 and carries over the point 1 as 2 points, while the point 2 remains 202 points and the acquired points are added as described above. go. When the point 2 reaches (or exceeds) the threshold value 2 of 2000 points, the pseudo bonus is won. If the point 1 is won in the pseudo bonus lottery based on the threshold 1 being reached, if the point 2 is cleared to 0, the ceiling point between the bonuses can be obtained. In other words, if the pseudo bonus or the real bonus is not won until the point 2 reaches the threshold value of 2000 points, the pseudo bonus is forcibly released.

Implementation pattern 2: The main control unit 100 determines a threshold value 3 as a threshold value for releasing a game section (for example, 30 games) and a pseudo bonus. As a method of determining the game section, first, the ten's place and the one's place are selected by lot to determine the number of games as the game section. Since the ten's place is 1 to 9 and the one's place is 0 to 9, the game section is in the range of the minimum 10 games to the maximum 99 games. Tables 1 to 9 are available as lottery tables for determining the threshold value 3, table 1 is selected in 10 to 19 games in the game section, table 2 is selected in 20 to 29 games in the game section,... A table is selected with 90 to 99 games in the section. The main controller 100 selects Table 1 to Table 9 according to the game section, and determines the threshold value 3 by lottery using the selected table data. For example, as Table 1, 50 points is 10%, 100 points is 40%, 150 points is 30%, 250 points is 20%, and a small value as the threshold 3 is a game. Is advantageous to the person.

Main control when, for example, a normal replay combination or a specific small combination (a small combination with one or two payouts and a winning combination without being affected by the pressing order) is determined as the point-granting combination The unit 100 determines the operation order of the stop switches in advance (before being operated). When there are three stop switches, the operation sequence is left → middle → right, left → right → middle, middle → left → right, middle → right → left, right → left → middle, right → middle → left. However, the winning probability of each operation order is 42/256, and all the pressing orders are winning with a probability of 4/256 (that is, 6 correct answer operations).

When the stop switch is actually operated in a predetermined operation order, the main control unit 100 determines the points to be given by lottery, and accumulates and counts all the points determined through the game section. The main control unit 100 compares the magnitude relationship between the cumulative points and the threshold value 3 to determine whether the transition condition is satisfied. For example, when it is determined that the accumulated points are equal to or exceeds the threshold value 3, the transition condition is satisfied, and the main control unit 100 shifts from the normal game to the special game which is a pseudo bonus. The accumulated points exceeding the threshold 3 are carried over to the next game section and added, which is advantageous to the player. On the other hand, if the transition condition is not satisfied, the game section and the threshold 3 are determined again, and the normal game is repeated. Even if the 29th game section ends after the pseudo bonus, if the pseudo bonus continues to be lost, the 30th game section becomes the ceiling cycle, and if the winning combination of points is won, the notification game is given and points are given. The pressing order of is notified. Therefore, the player can easily obtain points and win the pseudo bonus (ceiling function). In addition, when the number of ceiling games (2000 games, pseudo bonus is lost) is reached, the notification game may be performed.

Implementation pattern 3: The main control unit 100 executes a predetermined number (generally referred to as "the number of ceiling games") of normal games as an opportunity to give a pseudo bonus from a normal game (a game more advantageous than a normal game). ). In addition, the points acquired during this pseudo bonus are stored in the RAM 102. The acquired points are either one of the total number of game medals paid out (total number of paid out medals) or the increased number of game medals acquired (net additional medals). However, electronic data such as savings medals stored in the membership card may be used. The main control unit 100, when the points acquired in the special game this time exceed the points acquired in the previous special game (that is, the number of paid-out medals or the net addition number is larger or larger in this time than in the previous time). In the case of), the number of low ceiling games, which is smaller (lower) than the number of uniquely determined ceiling games, is newly set, and the regular game of the number of low ceiling games is executed. Shift to.

Implementation pattern 4:
FIG. 60 is a conceptual diagram of a lottery table.

There are a plurality of lottery tables (lottery information) of 1 to N (N is a natural number of 2 or more), and a plurality of selection games, a selection probability, and a winning probability are defined. For example, the lottery table 1 selects a selection probability of 5% and a winning probability of 25% for 32 selected games, and a selection probability of 5% and a winning probability of 30% for 64 selected games. A selection probability of 5% and a winning probability of 50% for 96 games, a selection probability of 80% and a winning probability of 10% for 128 games, and a selection game of 256 games The selection probability is 5% and the winning probability is 100%. Similar to the lottery table 1, the lottery tables 2 to N-1 and the lottery table N also store the illustrated data.

The main control unit 100 determines one lottery table from the lottery tables 1 to N. For example, one lottery table may be equally decided by lottery with a probability of 1/N, but may be decided by lottery with different probabilities. With respect to the current lottery table 1, the lottery table 1 is 1/N, the lottery table 2 is 2/N, the lottery table 3 is 3/N, and the lottery table N-1 is 0 as the probability of being selected next time. With /N, the lottery table N is biased to either 0/N. For example, when the lottery table 1 is determined, the main control unit 100 selects 32 games of the selected games with a selection probability of 5%, 64 games of the selected games with a selection probability of 5%, and 96 games of the selected games with a selection probability of 5%. %, 128 games of the number of selected games are selected with a selection probability of 80%, and 256 games of the number of selected games are selected with a selection probability of 5%, thereby determining one selected game number from a plurality of selected game numbers. As a matter of course, the total of the selection probabilities is 100%, the probability that 128 games out of the number of selection games is selected is the highest at 80%, and the number of all other selection games is 5%. For example, when 128 games of the number of selected games are selected by lottery, the main control unit 100 sets the winning probability determined corresponding to the number of selected games to 10%, and performs the winning lottery. Similarly, in the case of 32 selected games, the winning probability is 25%, in the case of 64 selected games, the winning probability is 30%, and in the case of 96 selected games, the winning probability. Is set to 50%, and in the case of 256 games selected, the winning probability is set to 100% and the winning lottery is performed.

The main control unit 100 performs the winning lottery when the normal game shown in FIG. 33 is executed for the determined number of selected games. For example, when 128 games of the selected number of games are selected by lottery, the main control unit 100 carries out a winning lottery with a winning probability of 10% upon execution of a normal game of 128 games, and becomes a high probability state by winning lottery. When the condition for shifting is satisfied (when the winning lottery is won, a predetermined condition is satisfied), the probability of winning the pseudo bonus (the degree to which the condition for shifting to the special game is satisfied) is shifted to a high probability state. The main control unit 100 releases the pseudo bonus (shifts to the special game) when the pseudo bonus is won in the high probability state normal game (the transition condition is satisfied). On the other hand, when the winning lottery is performed with a winning probability of 10% and the condition for shifting to the high probability state by the winning lottery is not satisfied, one lottery table is selected again from the lottery table 1 to the lottery table N to select the number of games. When the normal game of the determined number of selected games is executed, the winning lottery is performed with a winning probability determined corresponding to the number of selected games. Similarly, when the game shifts to the high probability normal game but the pseudo bonus is not won, selection of the lottery table, determination of the number of selected games, and winning lottery with a corresponding winning probability are repeatedly executed. Also, the same processing is performed even after the special game ends. If all the winning probabilities of the lottery table 1 to the lottery table N in FIG. 60 are set to 100% (that is, all winnings), it is possible to always shift to the normal game in the high-probability state for each determined number of selected games. In other words, the information on the winning probability is unnecessary. Furthermore, when winning in the winning lottery, it is possible to shift to the special game instead of shifting to the high probability state normal game.

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 quantity 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 if the back stock is 0 and there is no, 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 conducted 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 a 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 the 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 unit 2, 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.

Also, from the state in which 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 character's butler 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, to make the player a premier performance (see FIG. 35(C)). A freezing lottery is carried out with the winning of the role of Cherry in the middle stage, and when the winning is won, the freeze occurs as shown in FIG. . However, in the actual bonus standby (inside) to be described later, not only does the freeze lottery not be performed 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 cherry winning combination is displayed as a double cherry winning combination or a triple cherry winning combination. As an effect, by hiding the highest middle-tier cherry role as a rare small role, the player does not have to 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. Furthermore, there are five types of pseudo BBs: pseudo BB (white), pseudo BB (yellow), pseudo BB (green), pseudo BB (red), and pseudo BB (rainbow color), depending on the difference in these colors. 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 bonus consecutive chance of 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). Further, the player particularly longs for entering the pseudo ST (stock time) with the black bars aligned.

In the promotion lottery screen of FIG. 36(A), playing card timetable 7 is displayed, but it is suggested that the larger the number from 2 to 10, the higher the probability of being promoted to 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 and so on. In the promotion lottery screen shown in FIG. 36B, the diamond 7 is changed to the king of the club, 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. Note that the promotion self-powered lottery is executed with the operation of the start lever 9 for the predetermined number of games (10th game) as a trigger to determine whether or not to be promoted, and the 10th game starts to activate the special button 14 activated. A notification effect of promotion (for example, promotion effect to diamond 10 or non-promotion effect of leaving diamond 7 as it is) may be performed by one-stroke operation.

In 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. Further, 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. 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, when 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 portion 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 (on the back side) of the white 7 pattern, a multi-colored light emitting body pattern display LED is arranged, and the sub-control unit 160 corresponds to the activated line according to the operation of the special button 14. The three rotating body pattern display LEDs change the emission color from white→yellow→green→red→rainbow. If you press the stop button 10 backwards but make a mistake in the operation timing, other replays will be 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 of FIG. 37(B), 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 correctly operates the stop button unit 10 (reverse pressing and operation timing), the white 7 symbol, the white 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol are displayed in a straight line in the downward direction (see FIG. 24(B)).

In the state of FIG. 37(C), when the player correctly operates the stop button section 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 line (FIG. 38(C)). When the stop button section 10 is pushed backwards but the operation timing is wrong, other replays win 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 portion.

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 14 consecutive hitting operations (see FIG. 39(A)). For example, by lottery, white→yellow (see FIG. 39(B)) three times, then yellow→green five times, then green→red seven times, then red→rainbow in ten times. Like (see FIG. 39(C)), the number of times the color change timing is operated is determined in advance to control the emission color of the rotating body pattern display LED. 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 in which the game medium is automatically loaded by any of the replay winnings, 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), and 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. As a method of notifying the stock lottery result, the player can select one from four types (chance notification, one-shot notification, later notification, confrontation notification). On the other hand, the sub control unit 160 receives information on the assist function such as the winning 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 stocked pseudo bonuses determined to be released. It is displayed in the upper left part of the display effect device 11 according to the design (type) and the number of images (see FIG. 40(A)). The main control unit 100 internally produces 14 bell payouts (including a push-order bell such as a strong bell and the left 1st bell) 15 times regardless of the pseudo BB bonus color (white to iridescent). Since the pseudo BB is terminated when the winning is won, the push-order bell combination 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 15th small win. Similarly, the pseudo RB ends upon the internal winning of the bell small combination five times, and stores the numerical data of 70 sheets as the pseudo RB end number data. In the display 000/210 sheets 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 wins 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, if 5 times are won in the additional lottery, the pseudo BB ends when 20 times are won, and the sub-control unit 160 displays the denominator 210 sheets as 280 sheets (5×14 70 sheets added) To do.

In particular, all roles won in this pseudo BB (upper stage watermelon, lower right watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle stage cherry, strong bell, push order bell, reach eyes Replay 1 to 12, normal replay, etc.) Has a function as a point giving role, and the expected value of points given according to each role is determined. The main controller 100 executes the pseudo game as the freeze effect when the total points acquired based on the point giving combination reaches 100 points (threshold value) during one pseudo BB.

The main control unit 100 operates the start lever 9 to execute the winning combination lottery, selects the point drawing table corresponding to the winning combination, and performs the point giving drawing. The main control unit 100 adds this point to the current total point, and when the total point reaches 100 points, executes a pseudo game (freeze effect) in the game. First, the main control unit 100 carries out an additional continuation rate lottery. Either 66% (winning rate 70%), 80% (winning rate 20%) or 90% (winning rate 10%) is determined by lottery. With an additional continuation rate of 66%, the continuation will be won on average about 2/3, and the continuation will be ended on about 1/3 (continuation will not be elected), so 3 times will be elected as the average continuation number N (Loop lottery). Similarly, at an addition continuation rate of 80%, an average of 5 times is won, and at an addition continuation rate of 90%, an average of 10 times is elected. Next, the guaranteed number of times n (for example, 2) is added to the determined number of continuations, so the number of times of lottery becomes (N+n) times (in this case, 3 times+2 times 5 times), and this number of white 7 symbols A pseudo game in which is aligned is executed (see FIG. 38(A)). The freeze effect is to be executed by the main control unit 100, delays the progress of this game (game), and changes a plurality of reels during the delay to make special symbols (white 7 symbols, blue 7 symbols, BAR symbols). Etc.) is stopped and displayed in a predetermined format. What is added is the number of games, the number of games, the number of times of navigation, etc., and these are referred to as “amount of addition”.

68 and 69 are explanatory views of the distribution process of the number of effect notifications in the pseudo game.

As types of addition, weak production (70% win with 70 additions of 5x14), medium production (winning rate 20% with 140 additions of 10x14), strong production (280 wins of 20x14) There are three winning percentages (10% in addition), and the main control unit 100 determines the type of addition by (N+n) times (in this case, five times) lottery (see FIG. 68(A)). The main control unit 100 transmits to the sub control unit 160 data 1 as effect information when the weak effect is won, data 2 as effect information when the medium effect is won, and data 3 as effect information when the strong effect is won. Weak production, medium production, and strong production have different flashiness of production, for example, production time becomes longer in order, and reel movement and rotation direction also change, which makes it diverse and exaggerated, so that it can give the player a sense of expectation. it can. The sub-control unit 160 changes the white 7 symbols to yellow in the weak effect, green in the medium effect, and red in the strong effect at the timing when the three white 7 symbols are aligned in the pseudo game (see FIG. 39). In addition, the sub-control unit 160 stores, as the minimum notification number (minimum notification amount), 40 in the weak effect, 100 in the medium effect, and 200 in the strong effect.

The main control unit 100 has a weak effect in the first addition type lottery (70 pieces), a weak effect in the second addition type lottery, a medium effect in the third addition type lottery (140 pieces), and a fourth addition type lottery. In the weak effect, the strong effect (280 pieces) is won in the fifth addition type lottery, and the pseudo game is performed in this order (see FIG. 68(B)). Upon receiving the additional type information, the sub-control unit 160 recognizes by calculation that the total additional amount is 630 (70×3+140+280), and calculates the production notification number, the current step information, and the production step information according to the additional type. Set on the table. The initially announced number of effect notifications is 420 (the minimum number of notifications is 40×3+100+200), and the difference from the total added up of 630 is 210. The current step information indicates the number of times of addition, and is initially set to data 1 indicating once. The production step information indicates the maximum number of additions, and is determined and set by lottery. When the current step information and the effect step information match, the addition of the effect notification number of sheets is completed.

The sub-control unit 160 adds a predetermined amount of 20 to the final announcement number (fifth) of the announcement number to give 220, in order to announce as many numbers as possible in the latter half of the period, and adds 1 to the current step information. To 2 (see FIG. 68(C)). The same calculation is performed in the order of the next number of presentations (fourth time) to the number of presentations (first time) (see FIG. 68D). In this figure, the total number of production notifications is 520, and the difference from the total number of additions of 630 is 110, so when the number of productions (first time) ends, the number of productions returns to the last number of productions (fifth time). The weak effect may be 10, the medium effect may be 20, the strong effect may be 40, and the predetermined amount may be different for each determined additional amount.

When the sub-control unit 160 returns to the number of presentations (fifth time), the current step and the production step are not equal, so 20 sheets is added to the production notification number to 240 sheets, and 1 is added to the current step information to 3 (See FIG. 69(A)). Similarly, the sub control unit 160 also performs addition processing for the number of effects (fourth time) to the number of effects (third time). Since the current step and the effect step are the same in the number of presentations (second time), the sub-control unit 160 executes the addition process in the number of presentations (first time) without executing the addition processing. In this figure, the total number of production notifications is 600, and the difference from the total of 630 additional images is 30. Therefore, when the number of productions (first time) is completed, the number of productions is returned to the final number of productions (fifth time). When returning to the number of renderings (fifth time) again, the sub-control unit 160 does not equal the current step and the rendering step. Therefore, 20 sheets are added to the number of production notifications to make 260 sheets, and 1 is added to the current step information. 3 (see FIG. 69(A)). Since the number of presentations (fourth time) is not the same as the current step and the production step, the production announcement number is added, but since the remaining number is 10, 10 is added to 90 and the production announcement number distribution process is completed. To do. As a result, the actual number of sheets to be added is 70 sheets for the first time, 70 sheets for the second time, 140 sheets for the third time, 70 sheets for the fourth time, and 280 sheets for the fifth time. As a result, it is possible to efficiently change the number of images to 80 for the first time, 60 for the second time, 140 for the third time, 90 for the fourth time, and 260 for the fifth time, and it is possible to make various variations. If the current step and the production step are the same in all performance times, the distribution process should normally be ended, but when the total number of production notifications does not reach the total and the remaining number of additional productions exists. The sub-control unit 160 returns to the number of presentations (fifth time) until the remaining number of added images reaches 0, and performs the addition process by 20 pieces in order to match the total of the number of production notifications and the additional total, and then The distribution process ends. At this point, the sub-control unit 160 knows the order of the first to fifth effects (weak effect, medium effect, strong effect), displays an image prompting the player to operate the start lever, and effects. Wait for the start signal.

The main control unit 100 executes a pseudo game (freeze effect) in the game, and when the player operates the start lever, the main control unit 100 transmits an effect start signal to the sub control unit 160, and after a predetermined time, the first weak effect 3 Align the three white 7 patterns in a straight line. At that timing, the sub-control unit 160 causes the white 7 symbol to emit yellow light, displays the first effect notification number of 80, and displays an image prompting the player to operate the start lever again. However, if the player does not operate the start lever, the main control unit 100 considers that the start lever has been operated 8 seconds after the standby time, and transmits a performance start signal, and automatically after a predetermined time, the first weak time. Align the three white 7 designs in a straight line. The main control unit 100 sequentially executes the determined reel effects (weak effect, medium effect, strong effect) after operating the start lever or after the lapse of the standby time, and similarly aligns the white 7 symbols in a straight line. The sub-control unit 160 causes the white 7 pattern to emit light at the corresponding timing, and displays 60 sheets at the second time, 140 sheets at the third time, 80 sheets at the fourth time, and 240 sheets at the fifth time. After that, the main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 finish the pseudo game, the pseudo bonus is returned, and the sub control unit 160 adds and displays the total 630 sheets in the denominator.

70 and 71 are explanatory diagrams of the distribution process of the number of effect notifications in the pseudo game.

The number of pseudo-games determined by the main control unit 100 is infinite in theory when automatically executed and the loop is also a lottery. Therefore, the maximum number of simulated games is predetermined to 8 times, and the number of additional games beyond that is to be announced collectively by the operation of the special button 14 after the eighth simulated game, and the minimum notified number. Is 300. That is, when the special notification is performed by operating the special button 14, 300 or more sheets are confirmed.

FIG. 70(A) shows that the number of times of continuation is 8 and the number of times of lottery is 10 by adding the number of guarantees n (for example, 2).

The main control unit 100 produces a weak effect in the first, second, fourth, sixth, and eighth addition type lottery (70 pieces), medium effect in the third, seventh, and tenth addition type lottery (140 pieces). ) It is shown that the strong effect (280 pieces) is won in the fifth and ninth addition type lottery, and the pseudo game is performed in this order (see FIG. 70(A)). Upon receiving the additional type information, the sub-control unit 160 recognizes by calculation that the total additional amount is 1330 (70×5+140×3+280×2), and notifies the number of presentations according to the additional type, the current step information, and the presentation. Step information is set on the calculation table. Since the maximum number of times is 8, the number of production announcements that is initially set is 600 (minimum announcement number of 40×5+100×2+200), and the difference from the total of 1330 is 730, which is the minimum announcement number. It exceeds 300. All the current step information is set to data 1 indicating once. The production step information indicates the maximum number of additions, and is determined and set by lottery. When the current step information and the effect step information match, the addition of the effect notification number of sheets is completed.

The sub-control unit 160 adds 20 to the number of presentations of the final production number (8th time) to make 60, and adds 1 to the current step information to make it 2 (see FIG. 70(B)). The same calculation is performed in the order of the next number of presentations (seventh time) to the number of presentations (first time). In this figure, the total number of performance notifications is 760, and the difference from the total number of additions of 1330 is 570 (minimum number of notifications is more than 300). Therefore, when the number of performances (first time) ends, the final performance again. Return to the number of times (8th time).

When returning to the number of effects (8th time), the sub control unit 160 shifts to the next number of effects (7th time) without executing the addition process because the current step and the effect step are the same. Since the current step and the effect step are not equal in the number of effects (seventh time), the sub-control unit 160 adds 20 to the effect notification number to 140, and adds 1 to the current step information to 3 (See FIG. 70C). Similarly, the sub-control unit 160 also performs addition processing for the number of effects (sixth time) to the number of effects (third time). Since the current step and the effect step are the same in the number of times of presentation (second time), the addition processing is not executed, but the addition processing is executed in the next number of times of presentation (first time). In this figure, the total number of performance notifications is 880, and the difference from the total of 1330 added is 450 (minimum number of notifications is over 300), so when the number of performances (first time) ends, the final performance will be resumed. Return to the number of times (8th time).

When returning to the number of presentations (8th time) again, the sub-control unit 160 shifts to the next number of presentations (7th time) without executing the addition process because the current step and the production step are the same. Since the current step and the effect step are not equal to each other in the number of effects (seventh time), the sub-control unit 160 adds 20 to the effect notification number to make 160, and adds 1 to the current step information to give 4. (See FIG. 71A). Similarly, the sub-control unit 160 also performs addition processing for the number of effects (sixth time) to the number of effects (third time). Since the present step and the effect step are equal in the number of times of presentation (second time) and the number of times of presentation (first time), the addition process is not executed. In this figure, the total number of performance notifications is 980, and the difference from the total of 1330 is 350 (minimum number of notifications is more than 300). Therefore, when the number of performances (first time) ends, the final performance again. Return to the number of times (8th time).

When returning to the number of presentations (8th time) again, the sub-control unit 160 shifts to the next number of presentations (7th time) without executing the addition process because the current step and the production step are the same. Since the current step and the effect step are not equal in the number of effects (seventh time), the sub-control unit 160 adds 20 to the effect notification number to make 180, and adds 1 to the current step information to give 5. (See FIG. 71B). Similarly, the sub-control unit 160 also executes the addition process for the number of presentations (sixth time), and at this time, the difference between the total number of presentation notifications and the total addition is 310, and the remaining number of additions is 10. ing. Since the current step and the effect step are not equal in the number of effects (fifth time), the sub-control unit 160 adds 10 to the effect notification number, which is 270, and adds 1 to the current step information. Add to 5 In this figure, the total number of production announcements is 1030, and the difference from the total number of additions 1330 is 300, which is the same as the minimum number of announcements of 300, so the distribution processing of production announcements is completed. To do. As a result, the number of sheets to be added is originally 70 sheets for the first time, 70 sheets for the second time, 140 sheets for the third time, 70 sheets for the fourth time, 280 sheets for the fifth time, 70 sheets for the sixth time, 140 sheets for the seventh time, The number of performance announcements to be actually displayed in addition to 70 sheets for the 8th time is 80 sheets for the 1st time, 60 sheets for the 2nd time, 160 sheets for the 3rd time, 100 sheets for the 4th time, and 270 sheets for the 5th time , The sixth time can be changed to 100 sheets, the seventh time can be changed to 180 sheets, and the eighth time can be changed to 60 sheets, and it is possible to make various variations. If the current step and the effect step are equal in all the number of presentations, the final addition number exceeding the minimum notification number 300 is announced collectively by operating the special button 14. At this point, the sub-control unit 160 knows the order of the first to eighth effects (weak effect, medium effect, strong effect), displays an image prompting the player to operate the start lever, and effects. The arrival of the start signal is waited for, and after the eighth presentation, the special button 14 is operated to execute the collective notification. After that, the main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 execute the pseudo game (freeze effect) described above in the game.

FIG. 71(C) shows the minimum number of sheets in the case of making a collective notification. In other words, the number of continuation times is 7 times, and the guaranteed number of times n (for example, 2 times) is added, the number of times of lottery is 9, and the weak effect is won in all 9 times. It shows that the main control unit 100 performs the pseudo game in this order. Upon receiving the additional type information, the sub-control unit 160 recognizes by calculation that the total additional amount is 630 (70×9), and calculates the number of presentation notices, the current step information, and the production step information according to the additional type. Set on the table. Since the maximum number of times is 8, the initially announced number of effect notifications is 320 (the minimum number of notifications is 40×8). The difference from the total added up of 630 is 310, which is 10 more than the minimum announced number of 300. All the current step information is set to data 1 indicating once. The production step information indicates the maximum number of additions, and is determined and set by lottery.

The sub-control unit 160 adds 10 to the number of presentations of the final production number (eighth) to make 50, and adds 1 to the current step information to make it 2 (see FIG. 71D). .. In this figure, the total number of effect notifications is 330. The difference from the total 630 sheets added is 300 sheets, which is the same as the minimum notice sheet number of 300 sheets, so the distribution process of the production notice sheet number is ended. As a result, the original number of sheets to be added was originally 70 for all the first to eighth times, but the number of production announcements to be actually added and displayed was 40 for the first to the seventh and 50 for the eighth. It can be changed and can be varied in various ways. At this time, the sub-control unit 160 knows the order of the first to eighth effects (all weak effects), displays an image prompting the player to operate the start lever, and confirms the arrival of the effect start signal. After waiting, after the eighth presentation, the special button 14 is operated to carry out a collective notification, and the final additional number of sheets exceeding the minimum notified number of 300 sheets is collectively notified by the operation of the special button 14. After that, the main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 execute the pseudo game (freeze effect) described above in the game.

That is, as a game, in a gaming machine capable of executing a normal game and a special game that is more advantageous than the normal game when a privilege on the game is given, a plurality of times in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface are provided. A body, a role lottery means for internally drawing a winning combination for each game, and a plurality of spinning drums for each game, and the operation of a stop switch provided corresponding to each spinning drum And a symbol display control unit that displays symbols according to the result of the internal lottery, and a privilege amount determination unit that determines at least one privilege amount from a plurality of predetermined privilege amounts. And a display amount determining means for determining a display privilege amount to be displayed on the display device, and an input means for inputting an operation signal by a player's operation. Addition amount to the corresponding minimum privilege amount, the total of the determined privilege amount, and the total of the display privilege amount and the final notification amount, the display device, after displaying all the display privilege amount, When the operation signal is input, the final notification amount is displayed.

Returning to FIG. 25, in the sub control unit 160, the push order bell 2-1 shown in FIG. 25 is internally won, and the main lottery result information (push order small win) and assist information (middle→right→left) from the main control unit 100. ) Is received, the pressing order of the stop button portion 10 required to win the bell small winning combination (FUR1) is displayed by a yellow (bell small winning role suggesting) 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 operation, the process moves to RT1 in FIG. 31. In this 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. In addition, if the sub-control unit 160 stores the push-order information of middle→right→left corresponding to the push-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 number 2 which means 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 numeral 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" at 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. 41(C)). 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 elected and is missed, the display mode is not sequentially added, but the interlaced 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 displays the flow of the image until one pseudo bonus ends.

The main control unit 100 stores the number of times that the Bell small win has been won since the start of the pseudo BB, and in the game in which the winning of the Bell small win is the fifteenth time, the push order small win 4-1 in the right → middle → left. (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 release 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 judged whether or not the end condition (the number of wins of 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 the increased number of sheets is 167, and in the bonus end screen, the total number is 167 sheets, in order to indicate 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, for the push order bell role, 14 is added to 000 of 000/210 sheets regardless of winning or dropping, but for all other than the bell role (for example, rare small role cherry or watermelon) is added to 000. 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.

72 and 73 are schematic diagrams of the effect screen displayed by the display effect device, and show the flow of the effect for notifying the number of sheets to be added.

The main control unit 100, when the start lever 9 is operated during the pseudo BB, wins, for example, a rare small role of the center cherry (a payout of two coins, which is also referred to as a “single check”), and when the player wins the additional lottery, the lottery Determines the number of sheets to be added (amount to be added).

The main control unit 100 determines a base number to be added, which is composed of tens and ones. First, a lottery is drawn in the range of 0 to 9 as the 10's place. For example, if 7 is selected from 1 to 9, the 10's place is 7. However, only when 0 is selected, the additional base number is It is determined to be the highest value of 111. Next, a lottery is drawn in the range of 0 to 9 as the 1's place. For example, if 4's are selected, the 1's place will be 4, and the additional base number will be 74. As a result, the base number to be added is determined to be a natural number in the range of the lowest value 10 to 99 or 111 of the highest value. Then, the main control unit 100 draws the multiplying factor in the range of 1 to 9, and for example, when 5 is won, the multiplying factor is determined to be 5. The higher the added base number and the higher the multiplier, the lower the probability of winning. The main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160 that the winning combination is center cherry, wins the additional lottery, and the fact that the additional base number is 74 and the multiplying factor is 5 is a command.

Upon receiving the command, the sub-control unit 160 calculates the number of sheets to be added (74×5), recognizes that the number is 370, and gives a hot effect indicating that one of the rare small wins has won (FIG. 72). (See (A)). When the stop button unit 10 is operated for the first stop, the sub-control unit 160 displays the additional base number of 74 (see FIG. 72(B)), and when operated for the second stop, the multiplication means “×”. Is displayed (see FIG. 72C).

When the third stop operation is performed, the sub-control unit 160 displays a magnification of 5 (see FIG. 73A), and at the timing of releasing the button by the third stop operation, the recognized additional number of 370 sheets is displayed. It is displayed (see FIG. 73(B)), then 370 is added to the denominator of 210 and displayed as 580, and the winning two are added to 113 and displayed as 115. It should be noted that the addition effect in the pseudo RB described below is also the same.

FIG. 79 is an outline of the game state transition diagram (production state) and an outline of the point acquisition game, and shows the relationship with the pseudo bonus and CZ (chance zone) of FIG. 33.

During the pseudo bonus, the main control unit 100 performs a lottery for shifting to the chance zone in accordance with the winning combination, and when the winning is won, either the battle game or the point earning game is determined by lottery (see FIG. 79(A)). By winning in the transfer lottery, the pseudo bonus is transferred to the battle game or the point acquisition game determined by the lottery through a chance zone sign that a hot effect is executed. When the game shifts to the battle game as a chance zone, the protagonist and the enemy character battle each other, and the HP (hit points) of both the players compete for each other in accordance with the winning combination. When the protagonist sets the HP of the enemy character to 0, the protagonist wins and the game shifts to the addition game. However, if the protagonist's HP becomes 0 before the enemy character, it is defeated and returns to the pseudo bonus. During the battle game, the remaining amount of the pseudo bonus (the number of games, the number of acquisitions, the number of payouts, the number of navigations, etc.) is maintained without being subtracted.

When the game is transferred to the point acquisition game as the chance zone, the acquisition points are determined according to the winning combination, and when the total acquisition points are equal to or more than a predetermined point (for example, 100 points or more), the winning state is set, and the end condition of the point acquisition game Will continue until. Specifically, the variable continuation rate (80% to 95) is held, and the ending lottery is performed at the time of replay or loss. If the continuation rate is 80% (puncture rate is 20%), there is a probability of 20% (that is, 100-80%) at the time of replay or loss. If it is other than replay or loss, the points to be won are determined by the point lottery according to the winning combination, and the multiplication factor (for example, 2 to 100 times) at the time of the next point acquisition (that is, other than replay or loss). For example, if 100 times is decided in this game and 50 points are decided in the next point acquisition game, the next point will be 5000 points (50 points x 100 times), and this 5000 points will be added to the total points acquired. It

FIG. 79(B) shows an outline of the point acquisition game. The 0th game is in a state where the point acquisition game is won. The first game is fixed at 1 time, and the push-bell player wins 5 points. Since it is 1 time, the number of points acquired is 5 and the total number of points acquired is 5. It indicates that the next multiplication factor has been determined to be double by the lottery. In the second game, the role of the weak watermelon is won and gains 20 points. Since the multiplying factor is double, the total number of points acquired is 40, and the total points acquired are 45 (5 points + 40 points). It indicates that the next time the multiplying factor is determined to be 5 times by lottery. It indicates that the replay role has been won in the third game, for example, continuous lottery with a continuation rate of 90% (falling lottery with a puncture rate of 10%) has been continued. The fourth game is lost, and for example, the continuous lottery is performed at a continuation rate of 80% (falling lottery at a puncture rate of 20%), indicating that the game has been continued. The continuation rate may be a fixed value (for example, continuation rate 85%) regardless of the replay combination and the loss.

In the fifth game, the strong cherry character wins and wins 50 points. Since the multiplication rate is 5, the total number of points acquired is 250, and the total number of points acquired is 295 (45 points+250 points). It shows that the next time the multiplier is determined to be 10 times by lottery. In the sixth game, the replay role has been won, and the continuous lottery (falling lottery) has been performed, indicating that the game has been continued. In the seventh game, the chance player wins and wins 80 points, and since the multiplying factor is 10, the total number of points acquired is 800, and the total number of points acquired is 1095 (295 points+800 points). It shows that the next time the multiplier is set to 20 times by lottery. In the eighth game, the game is lost, and the continuous lottery (falling lottery) is performed, indicating that the game is continued.

In the 9th game, the strong bell role was won and 30 points were acquired. Since the multiplication rate is 20 times, the number of acquired points is 600 points, and the total acquired points is 1695 points (1095 points+600 points). It shows that the next time the multiplier is set to 8 times by lottery. In the 10th game, the push-bell player wins 8 points and gains 8 points, so the total points are 1759 points (1695 points+64 points) because the multiplication rate is 8 times. It indicates that the next multiplication factor has been determined to be double by the lottery. It indicates that the 11th game has been lost, a continuous lottery (falling lottery) has been performed, and the game has ended (falling).

When the transition condition (for example, the total points acquired is equal to or more than a predetermined point) is satisfied in the point acquisition game, the game is transferred to the additional game or the special game 1 or the special game 2, while if not satisfied, the pseudo bonus is returned. In the case of a specialized game, either the specialized game 1 or the specialized game 2 is notified during standby. In the special game 1, the number of games (the amount to be added) to be acquired is determined by lottery according to the winning combination, but if the replay combination or loss is continued for 5 games, the end condition is satisfied and the game ends. In other words, even if it is a replay role or a loss for four consecutive games, if a small role or a chance role, a bonus, etc. are won in the fifth game, they will be reset again and the replay role will continue for five consecutive games after the next game. Or if it loses, it ends. In the specialized game 2, the continuation rate is determined at the time of entry, and the continuation rate determines each game continuation/fall and the number of games to be acquired (addition amount), and ends with the fall. When the chance zone ends, the determined number of games (addition amount) is added and the pseudo bonus is restarted.

43 to 44 are schematic diagrams of the effect screen and schematic diagrams showing the symbol 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, it shifts to the standby mode, and if there is no stock, it shifts 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. 36A, the promotion lottery screen for 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 the number of stocked pseudo bonuses in the display effect device 11 by the design and the number of playing cards. It is displayed on the upper left (see FIG. 44(A)). The main control unit 100 terminates the pseudo BB when the 14-bell payout small winning combination internally wins five times, so the push-order Bell winning combination wins internally and manages it as once. .. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 stores numerical value 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 bell prize and pays out 14 game media (see FIG. 44(B)), determines whether 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 maintained for about 3 seconds. The sub-control unit 160 displays that the total number of the 70/70 sheets and the number of sheets increased from the first pseudo BB is 248 (see FIG. 44B), and the Total is displayed on the bonus end screen. 248 sheets are displayed as x1 to indicate that the BIG bonus has been performed once, and x1 is displayed 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 winning or dropping, but 14 is added, but except for the bell role (for example, rare small roles such as cherry and watermelon) Not added. On the other hand, the total number of coins actually won and paid out is added to Total, 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.

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 and a pseudo ST release stock to be released, and if there is a release stock, the pseudo bonus or pseudo stock time is released. While shifting to the standby, if there is no discharge stock, it shifts to the normal game. In this case, since there are two released stocks and the pseudo bonuses and pseudo STs are acquired in the order in which they are obtained, 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 joker has the highest stock time fixed, the main control unit 100 performs a 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 lottery such as cherries and watermelons, so if a winning role or a rare small role is won in the role lottery, the probability of winning the stock lottery increases (confirmed. The role is 100% and two or more stocks are elected). FIG. 45(B) shows a state in which a pseudo bonus or pseudo ST is newly won in the stock lottery, and an ace of spades having pseudo BB (red) or more or pseudo ST 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 reversely pressing it (see FIG. 45(C)), and the player presses the stop button. When the section 10 is operated correctly, 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), the stock lottery table having the probability (200%) of stocking two pieces on average per set is shown in FIG. Stock lottery will be conducted according to the winning combination. In the stock lottery during the pseudo bonus, the number of back stock and the number and type of released stock are determined, so if only the back stock is won, the pseudo bonus will not be released. However, in the stock lottery performed 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. Also, the currently stored back stock number 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 the 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 has increased by 254 (FIG. 46(A)). reference). FIG. 46(B) informs that the rare small winning combination is won in the first game of the start of the pseudo ST. For example, when a strong cherry (three consecutive cherries) is internally won, the stock lottery is performed with a high probability and the drum is played. The rotating body pattern display LEDs of the ineffective 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 queen of hearts with pseudo BB (white) or higher confirmed is additionally displayed, and 3 consecutive cherries with 2 payouts 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. Note that the number of games to be added may be determined by lottery from among 30, 40, 50, 100, 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. For example, (1) When the additional lottery is won during the pseudo ST, the number of additional games to be added is determined. Then, an additional ball of a color corresponding to the number of additional games (addition amount) is displayed on the display effect device 11, the pseudo ST of 50 games is consumed, and when the remaining number of games becomes 0, additional effect is performed. In addition, the winning part will be added to this 0 game. The color of the balls to be added suggests that light blue is 5 games or less, yellow is 10 games or less, green is 30 games or less, red is 50 games or less, and iridescent is more than 50 games. Specifically, the main control unit 100 first, when the rare small role is won in the role lottery, performs the transition lottery to the additional chance zone, and when the transition lottery is won, further performs the point lottery. Determine the grant points to grant. In addition, instead of executing the transition lottery, (2) the specific role (special replay role or chance eye replay role) is elected during the pseudo-ST, it is necessary to make sure to transfer to the additional chance zone and give points You may decide.

FIG. 61 is a conceptual diagram of the additional specialization table and the selection screen.

The additional specialization table (see FIG. 61(A)) has additional specialization 01 to additional specialization 20 as types, and the required points and the expected additional value are associated with each additional specialization game. For example, in the case of the specialization 10 for addition, 10 points are required for selection, and the average number of addition games (expected addition value) is 30 games. However, the range of the number of additional games is determined by lottery so that at least 10 games and at most 50 games can be accommodated.

FIG. 61(B) is a selection screen of the display effect device 11 displayed to the player, and when the player shifts to the additional chance zone, the number of determined points is 20 points, and a plurality of points are selected within a total range of 20 points. It indicates that you are instructing to do so. In FIG. 61(C), the player operates the cross key 7 to select three additional specializations 02, one additional specialization 04, and one additional specialization 10 indicated by diagonal lines, and the remaining points are It shows that it is 0 points. Note that only one additional specialization 15 may be selected, or two additional specialization 09 may be selected and the remaining 2 points may be discarded without being used. However, if there are unused points, a warning screen will be displayed to alert you. When the start lever 9 is operated in the state of FIG. 61(C), the main control unit 100 performs additional specialization 02 (expected additional value 6 games) three times and additional specialization 04 (expected additional value 12 games). Since the additional specialization 10 (expected additional value 30 games) is performed once and the additional 60 games (base N1) are added on average, the additional balls are displayed in rainbow colors. Then, the pseudo ST of 50 games is digested, the multiplication coefficient (N2) is determined when the number of remaining games becomes 0, and the radix N1×the multiplication coefficient N2 (for example, 60 games×5 times) is displayed in order. The additional production is performed, and the additional winning portion is added to the remaining 0 games.

FIG. 62 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the pseudo ST game progression process.

When starting the pseudo ST of one set of 50 games, the main control unit 100 calls this subroutine for each one of the pseudo ST games. In step S300, the main control unit 100 confirms whether or not the number of remaining games in the pseudo ST is 0 game. If the game is 0 game, the process proceeds to step S305. If it is not 0 game, the process proceeds to step S310 to add the game. Check whether the chance zone (additional specialized zone) has been won. If the player has not won, the process proceeds to step S300, while if the player has won, the process proceeds to step S320, the award points are determined by lottery, and the specialization zone for addition (additional points) selected according to the award point in step S330. Display specialized games. In step S340, the player operates the cross key 7 to select one or more additional specialization zones, and when the start lever 9 is operated, the main control unit 100 executes the additional specialization game in S350. , The base N1 of the additional game is determined, and the process proceeds to step S300. In addition, in one set of pseudo STs, even if a plurality of additional chance zones are won, the same process is performed to accumulate and add to N1.

When the number of remaining games in the pseudo-ST becomes 0 in step S300 and the process proceeds to step S305, the main control unit 100 confirms whether or not the radix N1 is 0, and if 0, the normal game of FIG. 33 (no stock) ) Or the pseudo bonus standby (there is stock) while it is not 0, the process proceeds to step S360. The main control unit 100 determines the multiplication coefficient N2 in step S360, calculates the radix N1×multiplication coefficient N2 (multiplication of N1×N2) in step S370, and displays the radix N1 and then the coefficient N2 in step S380. In step S390, the calculation result (60 games×5 times 300 games) is displayed, and a new pseudo ST for continuing 300 games is executed. If the coefficient N2 is set to 1, the radix N1 becomes the number of games to be added (the amount of addition) as it is, and therefore the calculation process is unnecessary. This additional amount is a concept that includes all additional amounts such as the number of paid-out sheets, the difference number of sheets, and the number of times of navigation.

The rare small wins (upper watermelon, lower right watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, reach replays 1 to 12) won during this pseudo-ST are the triggers for the freeze lottery, and if you win the freeze lottery, After the end, when the start lever 9 is operated in a bet state, the main lottery for the next game (actual bonus, small win, replay, etc. is determined) and the progress of the game is delayed. Start ST (pseudo game) 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 the continuation or termination of the pseudo super ST are performed, and the pseudo super ST (“super stock in FIG. 33” is performed. 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) game (see FIG. 33).

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 in 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, so that 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 a pseudo stop state in which the drum section 2 repeats fine movements after the final stop operation. Further, the number of released stocks is additionally displayed on the display effect device 11 according to 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 operation timing, In this game as well, it is adapted 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. That is, in the pseudo ST or the pseudo super ST, even if there is no back stock, it is immediately released when the winning of the release lottery is won. Also, what has been accumulated as the back stock is succeeded 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, getena 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 has decided to continue the pseudo-super ST (end condition not satisfied) and the three stop button sections 10 are operated, the corresponding drum section 2 is pseudo-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 or the continuous lottery is missed (end condition is satisfied), when the three stop button portions 10 are operated, the corresponding drum portion 2 is pseudo-stopped, resulting in a loose eye (unbalanced but non-reach eye). ) Is displayed to notify the end of the pseudo super ST, and the process returns to the pseudo ST. If the reach-replay part is won during the pseudo bonus, a 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 the freeze lottery is won, the main control unit 100 calls a pseudo super ST subroutine, and sets the guaranteed game count 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 (called a pseudo bonus etc.), and the determined type of pseudo bonus or the like. Accordingly, the reach eye is determined, and the rotating drum portion 2 is stopped (or pseudo-stopped) by operating the stop button portion 10 to display the reach eye (step S225). On the other hand, if the number of guaranteed games is 0, the process proceeds to step S230 to perform a puncture lottery (or also referred to as continuous lottery) for the pseudo super ST, and whether or not the ending condition for the pseudo super ST is satisfied in step S240. Is determined (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 pseudo bonus, it will be 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 unit 2 is stopped by operating the stop button unit 10. (Or pseudo stop) and the reach eye is displayed (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 ending 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 apparatus.

The main controller 100 finishes the pseudo ST when the number of remaining games reaches 0 after digesting the pseudo ST of 50 games, and displays that the total number of the increased number is 318 (see FIG. 49(A)). .. In addition, the sub-control unit 160 displays the types and numbers of the pseudo bonuses and pseudo STs stocked in the pseudo ST and the pseudo super ST in the upper left portion of the display effect device 11 in association with the design and the number of playing cards (FIG. 49). (See (A)). In this case, 6 is newly released 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 rank is provided. Transition to waiting time. In this case, since there are eight stocks and the bonuses and pseudo STs are consumed in the order in which they are acquired, first, as in FIG. 43(A), the leftmost spade 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 that 10 of spades have become the king of spades. 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 Prompts a continuous hitting operation (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 five times by lottery (see FIG. 39(B)) and then from yellow to green seven 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 available in the internally won game, the actual bonus is transferred to the inside of the actual bonus state (lost probability 1/2 at RT4), and the winning of the actual bonus is announced after a few games have been intensely directed. .. 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 unit 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 the rare small role cannot be drawn during the real bonus game. Feeling increases. That is, the stock lottery (the number of back stocks, the number of dischargeds, and 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 normal 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 a termination condition based on the number of paid-out game medals (for example, a prescribed number is exceeded) 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 time 10 games are played in this pseudo bonus standby state, the pseudo bonus self-ranking lottery is performed, and when the special button 14 is pressed while the operation is enabled (the internal LED is blinking), the winning lottery is drawn at that timing. Is executed, and in the case of being elected, it becomes “success” and the pseudo bonus is ranked up. For example, the pseudo RB is promoted to the pseudo BB (white), the pseudo BB (red) is promoted to the pseudo BB (rainbow color), and the pseudo BB (rainbow color) is promoted to the 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 a stock lottery table according to the role lottery result for each game, but in addition to that, depending on the number of bonus games 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 release 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, at least 1 release stock at 100%. The number and type are determined, and are released as a pseudo bonus or the like after the indication 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, 90% of the pseudo bonuses won in the normal gaming state are pseudo BBs or RBs and 10% pseudo ST, while 50% of the pseudo bonuses won in the pseudo bonus gaming state are pseudo BBs or pseudo RB is 50% pseudo ST. Then, the main control unit 100 stores the types of stocked pseudo bonuses in the order in which they are stocked, 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.

FIG. 50 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 pattern, the middle drum pattern, and the right drum pattern 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 (red seven pattern, BAR pattern, bell pattern, cherry pattern, watermelon 1 pattern, watermelon 2 pattern, replay pattern, blank 1 pattern, blank 2 pattern, blank 3 pattern) Twenty pieces are arranged on each rotating drum. Note that the symbol combination display determination is similar to that in FIG. 22, and thus the description is cited.

FIG. 51 is a payout table at the time of normal operation and bonus operation. However, only three types of bell small wins (appearance) and obstructive small wins (one small win) necessary for the explanation of the push order small win of the present invention are shown, and the bonus (first kind win) described in FIG. Object continuous operation device), rare small win and replay win are only omitted. Therefore, the same role can be adopted as necessary, and the description thereof will be omitted.

(1) Upper bell (FUR1): Left drum 2a (replay), middle drum 2b (cherry), right drum 2c (watermelon 1) are stopped on the same line, and bell symbols are displayed on the upper row. , Upper bell wins. The number of medals (game media) that can be obtained is 14 (one of the specific winning combinations with the highest payout).

(2) Middle Bell (FUR2): This is a winning role when the bell symbols are aligned and stopped on the effective line of each drum, and the winning number is 14 (one of the specific winning roles with the highest payout).

(3) Lower right bell (FUR3): Left drum 2a (replay), middle drum 2b (bell pattern), right drum 2c (replay) stops on the right line when stopped, and bell pattern descends 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 (one of the specific winning combinations with the highest payout).

(4) Multiple types of one-sheet combination A: For example, when the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (watermelon 2), and the right drum 2c (red seven) are stopped in line on the effective line, one sheet Role A wins. The number of medals (game media) to be acquired is one. This single-role combination is a small combination for stop control, and there are a plurality of types from one-role combination A1 to one-role combination An (n is a natural number of 2 or more) as necessary. One of the middle-first medium-press order small wins or the right-first right-click order small wins (these two push-order small wins are push-first small wins other than the left-first left-handed order small wins). However, it is a single-win group for preventing the winning of a bell win (win prize win or specific win) when the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation. The feature of this one-sheet combination A is that the design of the left drum 2a is a replay design and is the same design as the upper bell.

(5) Multiple types of single-sheet combination B: For example, when the left drum 2a (blank 1), the middle drum 2b (watermelon 2), and the right drum 2c (replay) stop on the effective line, one sheet Part B wins. The number of medals (game media) to be acquired is one. This single-use combination is a small combination for stop control, and there are a plurality of types, from one-use combination B1 to one-use combination An (n is a natural number of 2 or more). If the left-first left-handed small winning combination is internally elected and either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop operation, the bell small winning (winning winning special winning or specific winning winning) It is a group of one small role to prevent winning.

FIG. 52 is a combination table (simultaneous winning pattern of small winning combinations) of condition devices for a left-hand pressing small winning combination (left first).

Push order small win (push order bell) is a bell small win (upper bell, 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. On the other hand, in the case of an incorrect answer, when winning one of the multiple types of one small winning combination that is simultaneously won, and when there are multiple Koboshi eyes (Bell small winning missing pattern, 0 dividend) It is a duplicate winning winning combination that sometimes displays one of them.

In the left push order bell 1, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the left stop button 10a, and the second stop operation that is the correct answer is the small press order of the middle stop button 10b. Left push order bell 1 has 9 types from left push order bell 1-1 to left push order bell 1-9, so the player misses one role by seeing the result (stop pattern) of each reel. It is not possible to operate the stop button section 10 aiming at the design so that there is no such thing. The left push order bell 1 is a double push order type push order small win, and the first small win (upper bell win: FUR1) whose purpose is to win the prize, the second small win which prevents 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: blank 1-watermelon 2-replay, ... cherry-watermelon 2-replay), and a first small win that constitute the small win group. The third small role that constitutes the third small role for the purpose of inhibiting the winning of the role (FUR4: either left drum (replay), middle drum (bell/blank 1), right drum (BAR/cherry) Any of the four types of small symbol combinations that can be won in the symbol combination display) will be won at the same time (see the left push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 52).

In the left push order bell 2, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the left stop button 10a, and the second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small win of the right stop button 10c. Left push order bell 2 has 9 types from push order bell 2-1 to left push order bell 2-9, so like the left push order bell 1, the player makes the reels (stop pattern) of each reel. It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the design so as not to lose the role of one sheet at a glance. Others are the same as the left-hand pressing order bell 1, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 53 is a combination table (simultaneous winning pattern of small winning combinations) of condition devices for a medium press order small winning combination (medium first).

In the middle press order bell 3, 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 press order small win of the left stop button 10a. There are 9 types of middle press order bell 3-1 to middle press order bell 3-9 in the middle press order bell 3, so that the player does not lose one role by seeing the result (stop pattern) of each reel. , The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the design. The middle push order bell 3 is a double push order type push order small win, the first small win intended to win the prize (middle bell win: FUR2), the second small win intended to prevent the winning of the first small win. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, 6 types of single small wins) that make up the winning combination, and a third small win (FUR5 that constitutes the third small win for the purpose of inhibiting the winning of the first small win). ) Wins simultaneously (see push order bell 3-1 in FIG. 53).

In the middle press order bell 4, 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 press order small win of the right stop button 10c. The middle press order bell 4 has nine kinds, from the middle press order bell 4-1 to the middle press order bell 4-9, so that the player sees the result (stop pattern) of each reel as in the case of the middle press order bell 3. It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the design so as not to drop the single hand. Others are the same as those of the middle press order bell 3, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 54 is a combination table (simultaneous winning pattern for small winning combinations) of condition devices for a right-pressing order small winning combination (right first).

In the right-pressing order bell 5, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the right stop button 10c, and the second stop operation that is the correct answer is the small order in which the left stop button 10a is pressed. Right push order bell 5 has 9 types from right push order bell 5-1 to right push order bell 5-9. Therefore, like the middle press order bell 4, the player gives the reels (stop symbol) of each reel. It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the design so as not to lose the role of one sheet at a glance. Others are the same as those of the middle press order bell 3 and the like, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

In the right push order bell 6, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the right stop button 10c, and the second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small win of the middle stop button 10b. Right push order bell 6 has 9 types from right push order bell 6-1 to right push order bell 6-9, so that, like the right push order bell 5, the player rolls each reel (stop symbol). It is not possible to operate the stop button portion 10 aiming at the design so as not to lose the role of one sheet by seeing. Others are the same as those of the middle press order bell 3 and the like, and thus the description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the push order bell combination described in the first embodiment is substantially a five-choice bell combination, but in the second embodiment, the correct answer operation sequence is six six-choice bell combination.

55 and 56 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the windows in time series.

In the spinning drum type game machine, there is a hitting method in which the reel is stopped aiming at a specific pattern for the purpose of winning almost all small wins internally won. As the specific pattern, many models adopt the BAR pattern (DDT point) of the left drum 2a, and this striking method is called a DDT striking method derived from an insecticide. A cherry symbol is arranged below the BAR symbol, and when the cherry combination is not won, the BAR symbol is stopped at the lower stage (BAR drop). When the cherry character is elected, the cherry symbols can be stopped in the middle row or corners to win the cherry character. On the other hand, when the watermelon role is elected, the BAR symbol slides one frame from the lower stage and the watermelon symbol stops at the upper stage, so after that, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c are also aimed at the watermelon symbol and stopped. ..

Since a skilled player is playing a slot game by the DDT hitting method, even though the watermelon role has not been won, it is uncomfortable for the watermelon symbol to stop on the left drum 2a. It is an invention of the push order small role to solve.

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the left-hand pressing order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. 52 by random number lottery, as described above, the condition devices of FUR1+FUR4+FUR11 to FUR16 are simultaneously activated (eight different small wins are operated). Simultaneous winning), it is determined that the operation sequence of left → middle → right is the winning operation sequence based on the operation sequence information (123). 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. In addition, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, the sliding frame number table is similarly created.

FIG. 55(A) shows a state in which all the drum parts 2 are rotating from top to bottom. In this state, the player first stops the left stop button 10a in the correct operation sequence by the DDT hitting method. When operated (see FIG. 55(A)), the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. , The control for pulling in the replay pattern of the upper bell part to the effective line is performed (simply, the drum unit 2 is moved by the number of sliding frames, and four frames are sliding in FIG. 55(B)). In the state of FIG. 55(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. When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop button 10b of 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. The middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of, and control for drawing the cherry symbol to the effective line is performed (see FIG. 55(C)). In the state of FIG. 55(C), the FUR1 is in a temporary state. The main control unit 100 creates the sliding frame number table 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 drawing of the watermelon 1 symbol to the effective line, The upper bell is won (see FIG. 55(D)).

56(A) and FIG. 56(B) are the same states as FIG. 55(A) and FIG. 55(B), the description thereof will be omitted.

In the state of FIG. 56(B), the main control unit 100 creates the 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. Therefore, when the player performs the second stop operation of the right stop button 10c in the incorrect 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. The middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of the frame, and, for example, control for pulling the BAR symbol to the effective line is performed (see FIG. 56(C)). In the state of FIG. 56(C), the FUR 4 is in a temporary state. The main control unit 100 creates a slide frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the middle stop button 10b of 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, controls the pulling of the bell symbol to the effective line, and obstructs it. The small role FUR4 is won (see FIG. 56(D)). In the case where the first stop operation is an incorrect answer operation, it has been described in the first embodiment with reference to FIG.

FIG. 57 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

When the middle press order bell 3-1 shown in FIG. 53 is internally won by the random number lottery, the main control unit 100 simultaneously activates the condition devices of FUR2+FUR5 and six inhibition small wins (eight different small wins) as described above. The winning operation order is determined to be the middle->left->right operation order based on the operation order information (213). 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. In addition, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, the sliding frame number table is similarly created.

FIG. 57(A) shows a state in which all the drum parts 2 are rotating from top to bottom, as in FIG. 55(A). In this state, the player performs an incorrect solution operation by the DDT hitting method. When the left stop button 10a in the order is first stopped (see FIG. 57(A)), the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and determines 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of the coma, and the control for pulling the replay symbol common to the six inhibiting small wins to the effective line is performed (simply, the drum part 2 is moved by the number of sliding coma, and FIG. 57 ( In B), only 4 frames are slipped). The player does not feel any discomfort in the state of FIG. 57(B), and does not notice that the pushing order small winning combination has been won. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding piece number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c may be operated, so that the player is in the correct operation order. When the stop button 10b is secondly stopped, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. Control for pulling the watermelon 1 design into the effective line is performed (see FIG. 57(C)). In the state of FIG. 57(C), two inhibiting small wins are in a balance. The main control unit 100 creates the sliding frame number table 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, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames and controls the drawing of the red seven symbol to the effective line, One of the inhibiting small wins is won (see FIG. 57(D)). However, if the stop operation is performed at a position where neither the red seven symbol nor the blank one symbol can be drawn in, the small eyelet is displayed. In the case of the correct operation, since it has been described in the first embodiment using many figures, the description thereof will be incorporated.

FIG. 58 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the windows in time series.

When the right-hand pressing order bell 5-1 shown in FIG. 53 is internally won by the random number lottery, the main control unit 100 simultaneously activates the condition devices of FUR2+FUR5 and six inhibiting small wins (eight different types of small numbers) as described above. The winning combinations are simultaneously won), and it is determined that the right->left->middle operation order is the winning operation order based on the operation order information (312). 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. In addition, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, the sliding frame number table is similarly created.

Similar to FIG. 55(A), FIG. 58(A) shows a state in which all the drum parts 2 are rotating from top to bottom. In this state, the player performs an incorrect solution operation by the DDT hitting method. When the left stop button 10a in the order is first stopped (see FIG. 58(A)), the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and determines 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of the coma, and the control for pulling the replay symbol common to the six inhibiting small wins to the effective line is performed (simply, the drum part 2 is moved by the number of sliding coma, and FIG. 57 ( In B), only 4 frames are slipped). The player does not feel any discomfort in the state of FIG. 58(B) and does not notice that the push-order small winning combination has been won. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding piece number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c may be operated, and the player can move the right operation order to the right. When the second stop operation of the stop button 10c is performed, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, The blank 1 pattern is controlled to be drawn into the activated line (see FIG. 58C). In the state of FIG. 58(C), two inhibiting small wins are in a balance. The main control unit 100 creates a slide frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the middle stop button 10b of the correct operation sequence is operated by the third stop operation, The control unit 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, but draws both the watermelon 1 pattern and the watermelon 2 pattern. When it cannot be inserted, the bell symbol is stopped and the small eyelet is displayed (see FIG. 58(D)). In the case of the correct operation, since it has been described in the first embodiment using many figures, the description thereof will be incorporated.
