The lot ball 73 of discharging from the second ball discharge portion 58 of the second ball discharge portion 58 guides to the upper end that the above-mentioned the 3rd of ball conveyer 80 is transported rail 85 by discharging inclined-plane 58a quilt.Therefore, the lot ball 73 of discharging from the second ball discharge portion 58 transports rail 85 by the 3rd and is transported to the inlet that transports path switching device 81, is the ball storage part.

Figure 17, Figure 18, Figure 19 are used to illustrate the brief configuration of transporting path switching device 81 and the key diagram of action.

Transport the not shown CD-ROM drive motor that path switching device 81 mainly comprises eccentric rotary part 81a and makes eccentric rotary part 81a rotation.Eccentric rotary part 81a is made of disc-shaped part, is connected with CD-ROM drive motor being arranged on the rotating shaft on the eccentric position that departs from its disc centre of this off-centre rotary part 81a.The direction of rotation of CD-ROM drive motor and the anglec of rotation are controlled by the control part 37 that transports of CCU 30.In the present embodiment, eccentric rotary part 81a stops under the state under the vertical direction at the rotating shaft major radius side end farthest from eccentric rotary part 81a under armed state as shown in Figure 17.Under this armed state, arranging, storing the 3rd transporting in lower end side a plurality of lot balls 73 partly of rail 85 of being connected with the inlet that transports path switching device 81, the lot ball 73 that is positioned at downstream enters into as shown in Figure 17 and transports path switching device 81.At this moment, the lot ball 73 in downstream is located in the top of the vertical direction of eccentric rotary part 81a.

In transporting path switching device 81, be provided with first outlet that is connected with the 4th upper end of transporting rail 86 of dropping into inclined position towards the ball of vertical annular lot device 40 and second export these two outlets with ball towards the annular lot device 50 that tilts drops into that second upper end of transporting rail 84 that standby portion 83 tilts is connected.The bottom surface separately of these outlets lays respectively at than the high position of lower position that is located in the lot ball 73 that transports in the path switching device 81 under armed state.Therefore, under armed state, when lot ball 73 has entered into when transporting in the path switching device 81, form the parts 81c of the bottom of inlet, form parts 81d, the 81e of first outlet and the second outlet bottom surface separately, and being arranged on sidepiece butt with the four direction of the wall member 81f of the relative sidepiece that enters the mouth and lot ball 73, lot ball 73 by mounting, is held and can skid off from the outlet of transporting path switching device 81 under the state that rotation is restricted.

Then, when the counter clockwise direction rotation of CD-ROM drive motor in figure driven, as shown in figure 18, the major radius side end of eccentric rotary part 81a was come to the rotation of the top of vertical direction.Thus, the peripheral part of facing direction of rotation of eccentric rotary part 81a gently boosts lot ball 73 from the below of lot ball 73 towards first outlet side that is connected with the 4th upper end of transporting rail 86.Then, when the major radius side end of eccentric rotary part 81a is directly over vertical direction, lot ball 73 is raised to the height of first outlet and is transported rail 86 thrusters to the 4th by the peripheral part of eccentric rotary part 81a, and this lot ball 73 transports the ball input position that rail 86 is transported to vertical annular lot device 40 from first outlet by the 4th.

Equally, by from the control of transporting control part 37, when the clockwise direction rotation of CD-ROM drive motor in figure driven, as shown in figure 19, the major radius side end of eccentric rotary part 81a rotates to the top of vertical direction came.Thus, the peripheral part of facing direction of rotation of eccentric rotary part 81a gently boosts lot ball 73 from the below of lot ball 73 towards second outlet side that is connected with second upper end of transporting rail 84.Then, when the major radius side end of eccentric rotary part 81a is directly over vertical direction, lot ball 73 is raised to second height that exports and is transported rail 84 thrusters to second by the peripheral part of eccentric rotary part 81a, and this lot ball 73 transports the ball input standby portion 83 that rail 84 is transported to annular lot device 50 from second outlet by second.

Next, illustrate that being used for detecting lot ball 73 has entered into structure and the action of which lot with

bag

41,51.

In addition, in the present embodiment, about detecting relevant structure and action with this, the vertical annular lot device 40 and the annular lot device 50 that tilts have roughly the same structure, therefore in the following description, with the annular lot device 50 that tilts is that example describes, and omits the explanation to vertical annular lot device 40.

Figure 20 is the stereogram that expression is arranged on the structure of second pattern sensor 56 in the annular lot device 50.

In the present embodiment, as mentioned above, for make draw lots turn-take with bag 51 mobile, drive form this lot with bags 51 distance member 52 so that it turn-takes mobile.On the other hand, CCU 30 fixed configurations are in the inside of device brace table 60.Therefore, lot ball 73 will have entered into that each sensor with bag 51 of drawing lots is arranged on the distance member 52 and that it is turn-taked with bags 51 with drawing lots is mobile if will be used for detecting, and then be difficult to stably this signal of sensor be flowed to CCU 30.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, adopt the sensor only utilize fixed configurations to detect lot ball 73 and entered into which the structure of turn-taking lot mobile with bag.

In detail, as shown in Figure 7, below as the annular lot device 50 that tilts part, draw lots with the part of bag 51 base stations that pass through 54 on fixed configurations second ball sensor 55 is arranged.In the present embodiment, amounting to 7 second ball sensors 55 separates with drawing lots and disposes with the circumferential interval identical distance between bags 51, wherein 1 second ball sensor 55 is configured in the foot of lot with the mobile route of turn-taking of bag 51, respectively has 3 second ball sensors 55 to be configured in its circumferential both sides.7 second ball sensors 55 are the sensor for being made of mechanical switch all, according to pushing over the situation of the switch plate of second ball sensor 55 by deadweight, promptly entering into the situation that some lot are passed through at first with bag 51 lot ball 73, this lot ball 73 is detected by this second ball sensor 55.

Here, only according to the output signal (ball detection signal) of second ball sensor 55, can't determine lot ball 73 and enter into which lot bag 51.Therefore, in the present embodiment, not only use the ball detection signal of second ball sensor 55, and, determine lot ball 73 thus and entered into which lot bag 51 also with the output signal (pattern signal) of second pattern sensor 56 shown in Figure 20.

Second pattern sensor, 56 fixed configurations are at the inner peripheral surface side of the annular lot device 50 that tilts, relative with ball input standby portion 83 position (position of being represented by symbol A among Fig. 7).This second pattern sensor 56 reads the indicia patterns of marking plate 52a, draws lots with the described marking plate 52a of bag 51 equal numbers with on the inner peripheral surface that separates equally spaced mode each other and be arranged on distance member 52 with each.Each marking plate 52a has 1 and triggers sheet 52b and maximum 5 marker slip 52c, by the combination that has or not of marker slip 52c, forms different indicia patterns mutually.Second pattern sensor 56 comprises 1 triggering sensor 56b of the triggering sheet 52b of 5 the mark sensor 56a of the marker slip 52c that is used for certification mark plate 52a and certification mark plate 52a.Whether mark sensor 56a and trigger the optical pickocff that sensor 56b is infiltration type is labeled sheet 52c or triggers sheet 52b according to light path and block and detect.

When having detected triggering sheet 52b by triggering sensor 56b, the pattern signal of the combination of the output signal of 5 mark sensor 56a when second pattern sensor 56 will be represented this detection is exported to the second sensor control part 38b of CCU 30.And, suppose that lot ball 73 has entered into to draw lots that this situation is detected by second ball sensor 55 (circumferentially second ball sensors 55 of central authorities) in 7 second ball sensors 55, that for example be positioned at foot with bag 51.In this case, from these second ball sensor, 55 output ball detection signals, this ball detection signal is imported into the second sensor control part 38b of CCU 30.Receive the second sensor control part 38b and this reception while of this ball detection signal or be right after the input that receives from the pattern signal of second pattern sensor 56 after receiving, will be defined as with bag 51 with the corresponding lot of this pattern signal thus is that lot ball 73 has entered into the bag of lot wherein.

That is, second pattern sensor 56 and the position between second ball sensor 55 of foot relation is fixed.Specifically, when the lot ball enters into wherein lot and is positioned at the relative position of second ball sensor 55 with foot with bag 51, be arranged on respect to this lots with bag 51 to draw lots with bag the downstream of the moving direction of turn-taking staggered 5 lot with bag the indicia patterns of marking plate 52a of inner peripheral surface side detected by second pattern sensor 56.Therefore, detecting under the situation of lot ball 73 by second ball sensor 55 that is positioned at foot, by the indicia patterns of second pattern sensor, 56 detected marking plate 52a with staggered 5 lot with bag corresponding with bag 51 to the upstream side with the moving direction of turn-taking of bag of drawing lots with respect to the lot at the relative position place that is configured in this marking plate 52a.Therefore, receive the second sensor control part 38b of ball detection signal and this reception simultaneously or be right after this receptions after and receive pattern signal from second ball sensor 55 of foot, for example can determine lot ball 73 thus and enter into wherein lot usefulness bag with reference to the tables of data of this corresponding relation of expression from second pattern sensor 56.Then, the second sensor control part 38b lot that expression is determined is exported to CPU31 with middle the label bag signal of bag.

Here, in the present embodiment, have 7 second ball sensors 55, the position relation between each second ball sensor 55 and second pattern sensor 56 is different.Therefore, enter into from the pattern signal of second pattern sensor 56 and lot ball 73 that wherein lot detects second ball sensor 55 of lot ball 73 with the corresponding relation between the bag according to each and different.Specifically, for example, when be configured in indicia patterns that second ball sensor 55 of drawing lots with the upstream side of the moving direction of turn-taking of bag read by second pattern sensor 56 when having detected lot ball 73 with respect to the lot of the relative position that is configured in this marking plate 52a with bag 51 to draw lots with bag staggered 8 the lot of the upstream side of the moving direction of turn-taking use bag corresponding.In addition, for example, when be configured in indicia patterns that second ball sensor 55 of drawing lots with the downstream of the moving direction of turn-taking of bag read by second pattern sensor 56 when having detected lot ball 73 with respect to the lot of the relative position that is configured in this marking plate 52a with bag 51 to draw lots with bag staggered 2 the lot of the upstream side of the moving direction of turn-taking use bag corresponding.

In addition, second ball sensor 55 is provided with 1 at least and gets final product, but a plurality of the reasons are as follows is set in the present embodiment.

The first, this is in order to determine this lots after drawing lots with the moment of bag 51 in as far as possible early period and to use bags 51 entering into from lot ball 73.That is, in the present embodiment, the lot that lot ball 73 may not enter into foot is with bag, also may the lot of foot with each 2 of the both sides of bag, amount to and enter into some lot in the scope of 5 lot with bag and use bags 51.In this case, as long as only near the downstream of the lot in this scope with the moving direction of turn-taking of bag 1 second ball sensor 55 is set, just can determines lot ball 73 and enter into lot usefulness wherein bag.But, in this case, lot ball 73 enter into draw lots with bag 51 after, before this lots moves to the position of this second ball sensor 55 with bag 51, can't determine this lot and use bags 51.Therefore, sometimes lot ball 73 enter into draw lots with a period of time behind the bag 51 in, can't determine this lots with bag 51, thereby can produce disadvantages such as performing delay.Relative therewith, by a plurality of second ball sensors 55 are set as present embodiment, can shorten to enter into and draw lots with bags 51 to the long delay time that detects this situation from lot ball 73.Thus, this lots usefulness bags 51 can be after lot ball 73 enters into the moment of drawing lots with bag 51, determined as soon as possible, thereby disadvantage such as delay can be alleviated.

Second, even this be for for example second ball sensor 55 fault has taken place or the switch plate of second ball sensor 55 that produces owing to lot ball 73 depress taken place through the time change etc. and cause detecting under the unsettled situation that becomes, also can under the situation that does not produce break period (down time), proceed recreation (physics lot).Promptly, by a plurality of second ball sensors 55 are set as present embodiment, even can't just enter into by lot ball 73 draw lots with bag 51 after second ball sensor 55 of arrival carry out under the situation of ball detection, also can carry out ball and detect, thereby can under the situation that does not produce break period, proceed recreation (physics lot) by next second ball sensor 55.

In addition, in the present embodiment, illustrated the second sensor control part 38b that receives the ball detection signal based on this reception simultaneously or be right after and determine lot ball 73 at the pattern signal that receives thereafter and entered into the situation of lot wherein with bag, but also can adopt other method.For example, also can adopt following method: make the second sensor control part 38b store up-to-date pattern signal all the time, and the up-to-date pattern signal of being stored when receiving the ball detection signal is determined lot ball 73 and entered into lot wherein with bag.The advantage of this method is to determine in period more early and draws lots with bag 51.

The flow process of first center lot (physics lot) of using vertical annular lot device 40 execution in center lot device 3 next, is described.

The CPU31 of CCU 30 is drawing lots (S21) under the situation that begins to ask at first centers that receive from some operating desks portion 2 via input/output port 31a, and CPU31 is used for determining the operating desk ID (S22) of this operating desk portion 2 to the registration in the database of waiting to draw lots of RAM33.Then, carry out successively drawing lots according to the draw lots order begin to ask of first center that receives for the player's of this operating desk portion 2 first center.Under the situation of beginning first center lot, at first, CPU31 makes the driving order of the front of vertical annular lot device 40 towards the player's who carries out drawing lots at first center operating desk portion 2 to 35 outputs of table drive control part.Thus, a table drive control part 35 turntable 64 rotation is driven so that the front of vertical annular lot device 40 towards this operating desk portion 2.Then, CPU31 exports the order that lot ball 73 is transported to ball input port 86a to transporting control part 37.After transporting control part 37 and receiving this order, the CD-ROM drive motor 81b rotation of transporting path switching device 81 is driven, and eccentric cam 81a is rotated as shown in Figure 18.Thus, lot ball 73 transports rail 86 by the 4th and is put into non-bag zone (S23) on the inner peripheral surface of vertical annular lot device 40 from ball input port 86a.

Along circumferentially the moving back and forth as pendulum on non-bag zone of vertical annular lot device 40, the impetus weakens the lot ball 73 that is put to non-bag zone gradually when being limited by protrusion walls 43a.Then, when the relative moving speed with respect to a plurality of protrusion walls 43a had become enough little, lot ball 73 moved by the gap between the protrusion walls 43a and to the bag area side owing to the inclination in non-bag zone.Then, the lot ball 73 that has moved on the bag zone is drifting in the bag zone when certain external force is born on the surface in the bag zone of moving, and draws lots with bags 41 when entering into during with bag 41 by some lot.

Here, if the rotary speed of vertical annular lot device 40 is fixed all the time, then the surperficial translational speed in bag zone is also fixed, and the external force that lot ball 73 is accepted from the surface in bag zone is also fixed.Therefore, following situation may take place: the lot ball 73 of bag on the zone can enter into have been avoided drawing lots with the track of bag 41 and continues to roll, and lot ball 73 is not drawn lots with bag 41 through how long not entering into.Therefore, in the present embodiment, be provided with by not shown timing portion lot ball 73 being put into the structure that elapsed time carries out timing after the vertical annular lot device 40.And CPU31 judges whether to have passed through the predetermined stipulated time (S25) based on the elapsed time by the timing of timing portion.This stipulated time can at random be set.In the present embodiment, this stipulated time be set to following degree during: only otherwise being trapped in lot ball 73 on bag zone enters into that having avoided draws lots is rotated further such situation (under the common situation) with the track of bag 41, just can guarantee fully to enter into to draw lots to use bag 41 needed times up to the lot ball.Therefore, in normal circumstances, the ball 73 of drawing lots before the process at the appointed time will enter into some lot with bag 41, is exported to CPU31 (S24) with the bag 41 corresponding middle bag signals of signing from first sensor control part 38a with this lot.

On the other hand, do not passed through the stipulated time ("Yes" among the S25), then the CPU31 advance notice notifier processes (S26) of at first slowing down if in CPU31 receives, sign under the state of bag signal.This deceleration advance notice notifier processes is to be used to make first display equipment 71 show the countdown images and to prenotice the processing when rotary speed of the vertical annular lot device 40 of player slows down.Specifically, judge that the CPU31 that has passed through the stipulated time sends countdown performance order to display control unit 36.Display control unit 36 receives this countdown performance order, carries out the demonstration control that makes first display equipment 71 show the countdown image.And, becoming expression timing moment much at one of image of retardation with the countdown image, carry out the processing (S27) that the rotary speed that makes vertical annular lot device 40 is slowed down by the first rotation control part 34a.

In addition, suppose after having passed through the stipulated time, make the rotary speed of vertical annular lot device 40 slow down before lot ball 73 entered into some lot and received under this situation of signing bag signal with bag 41 and CPU31, cancel the countdown performance constantly at this, and also do not carry out the processing (S27) of the rotary speed deceleration that makes vertical annular lot device 40.

In addition, can adopt following structure: supposition does not enter into lot bag 41 at the rotary speed deceleration back lot ball 73 that has taken place making vertical annular lot device 40 yet yet, having avoided under the situation of lot with the situation of other tracks of bag 41 but enter into, for example the back elapsed time that slows down is carried out timing by timing portion, when this elapsed time has reached the stipulated time (also can be set at afore mentioned rules asynchronism(-nization) during), after having carried out the advance notice notifier processes of slowing down, the rotary speed of vertical annular lot device 40 is further slowed down, perhaps make its speedup on the contrary.

When the rotary speed of vertical annular lot device 40 as present embodiment had been slowed down, because the surperficial translational speed change in bag zone, therefore the external force that lot ball 73 is born from the bag region surface (plane of rotation) that moves changed.Thus, even entered under the situation of avoiding drawing lots with the track of bag 41, also can make this lot ball 73 break away from these tracks at the lot ball 73 that rolls on the bag zone.Consequently, can prevent that the lot ball 73 that rolls from not taking place through how long not entering into the situation of drawing lots with bag 41 on the bag zone.

When the lot ball 73 that has been dropped into has entered into some lot with bag 41, when first sensor control part 38a receives with this lots with corresponding the label bag signal of bag 41 ("Yes" of S24), CPU31 rewards decision table and decides and be somebody's turn to do bag corresponding award of signal of middle label with reference to being stored in first among the RAM33.In the present embodiment, can obtainable award roughly distinguish in drawing lots in first center: the expenditure of rewarding the integration of corresponding amount to player's expenditure and this is rewarded (the prize expenditure is rewarded); Be used for rewarding as the free game of the free game of special play in the Slot Machine recreation beginning of carrying out by operating desk portion 2; And second center lot that is used to utilize annular lot device 50 to carry out drawing lots at second center is rewarded.And CPU31 rewards decision table according to label bag signal and first receiving from first sensor control part 38a and determine the award that obtains in drawing lots in this first center.

Under the situation that the expenditure that determined to gain an award is rewarded ("Yes" among the S28), CPU31 controls the performance that first display equipment 71 and other performance portion (Lighting Division, audio output unit etc.) are scheduled to.Then, as expenditure processing unit performance function, order (S29) to the operating desk control device 20 transmission prizes expenditures of this operating desk portion 2 as the CPU31 that pays handling part from input/output port 31a.Receive this prize and pay the expenditure processing that adds on the integration data of CPU21 execution in being stored in RAM23 of the operating desk control device 20 of ordering with the corresponding integration amount of this prize expenditure order.

In addition, under having determined to obtain the situation that free game rewards ("Yes" among the S30), CPU31 controls the performance that first display equipment 71 and other performance portion (Lighting Division, audio output unit etc.) are scheduled to.Then, CPU31 sends free game initiation command (S31) from input/output port 31a to the operating desk control device 20 of this operating desk portion 2.The CPU21 that receives the operating desk control device 20 of this free game initiation command carries out the program that free game is used, before predetermined free game termination condition is satisfied, and the process of control free game.In addition, the free game of present embodiment is the Slot Machine recreation that can play under the situation of not betting integration, and the content of this Slot Machine recreation both can be identical with common Slot Machine recreation, also can be different.In addition, also can adopt encouragement (bonus) recreation to reward and wait to replace free game to reward, the encouragement recreation (also can be the recreation beyond the Slot Machine recreation) that is used to begin as special play is rewarded in described encouragement recreation.

In addition, draw lots ("No" among the S30) under the situation of rewarding having determined to obtain second center, CPU31 controls the performance that first display equipment 71 and other performance portion (Lighting Division, audio output unit etc.) are scheduled to.Then, CPU31 is transferred to and carries out the pattern of drawing lots in second center (S40).

The flow process of second center lot (physics lot) of using annular lot device 50 execution in center lot device 3 next, is described.

The CPU31 of CCU 30 is drawing lots and begins to ask or determined second center that obtains to draw lots during drawing lots in first center to reward under the situation that the second such center lot beginning condition has been satisfied (S41) in second centers that receive from some operating desks portion 2 via input/output port 31a, and CPU31 carries out for the player's of this operating desk portion 2 second center and draws lots.Under the situation of beginning second center lot, CPU31 makes the driving order of the front of annular lot device 50 towards the player's who carries out drawing lots at second center operating desk portion 2 to 35 outputs of table drive control part.Thus, a table drive control part 35 turntable 64 rotation is driven so that the front of the annular lot device 50 that tilts towards this operating desk portion 2.

Then, CPU31 is transported to the order that ball drops into standby portion 83 to transporting control part 37 outputs with lot ball 73.Here, transport that control part 37 is carried out according to the difference of the second center lot beginning condition that has satisfied and different actions.Specifically, beginning to ask to satisfy under the situation of the second center lot beginning condition by receive the lot of second center from operating desk portion 2, the CD-ROM drive motor 81b rotation of transporting path switching device 81 is driven, and eccentric cam 81a is rotated as shown in Figure 19.Thus, lot ball 73 transports rail 84 by second and is transported to ball input standby 83 (S42) of portion.On the other hand, satisfying under the situation of the second center lot beginning condition by in drawing lots in first center, having determined to obtain the lot award of second center, make the shutter 47c in the first ball discharge portion 48 that is arranged on vertical annular lot device 40 move to the ball drain position as shown in Figure 14, and make and be arranged on the first shutter 82b that falls mouthful 82a place that transports rail 82 and move to detent position as shown in Figure 15.Thus, entering into second center of drawing lots with first center draws lots and rewards corresponding lot and transport rail 82 from the first ball discharge portion 48 by first with the lot ball 73 of bag 41 and be transported to ball input standby 83 (S42) of portion.

Then, CPU31 is to the input order of transporting control part 37 output lot balls 73.Control part 37 execution of transporting that receive this input order make the mobile as shown in Figure 8 driving control of shutter 83a that has stopped lot ball 73 in ball input standby portion 83.Thus, the lot ball 73 that has been stopped by the shutter 83a inclined-plane 54a that is put to annular lot device 50 goes up (S43).

Here, the rotary speed of annular lot device 50 is fixed all the time if tilt, then draw lots and also fix with respect to the relative moving speed of inclined-plane 54a with bags 51, therefore, can be trapped in also that lot ball 73 is each is all similarly drawn lots with in bags 51 the edge of opening situations that partly (distance member 52) flicks even for example sometimes under the enough weak state of the impetus of lot ball 73.Therefore, in the present embodiment, be provided with by not shown timing portion with lot ball 73 structure that elapsed time carries out timing after the annular lot device 50 that tilts drops into.And CPU31 judges whether to have passed through the predetermined stipulated time (S45) based on the elapsed time by the timing of timing portion.This stipulated time can at random be set.In the present embodiment, this stipulated time be set to following degree during: as long as the lot ball 73 on the inclined-plane 54a is not trapped in (under the common situation) in the situation as described above, just can guarantees fully to enter into and draw lots with bag 51 needed times up to the lot ball.Therefore, in normal circumstances, the ball 73 of drawing lots before the process at the appointed time will enter into some lot with bag 51, is exported to CPU31 (S44) with the bag 51 corresponding middle bag signals of signing from the second sensor control part 38b with this lot.

On the other hand, do not passed through the stipulated time ("Yes" among the S45), then the CPU31 advance notice notifier processes (S46) of at first slowing down if in CPU31 receives, sign under the state of bag signal.This deceleration advance notice notifier processes is to be used to make second display equipment 72 show the countdown images and to prenotice player's processing when rotary speed of annular lot device 50 slow down of tilting.Specifically, be judged as the CPU31 that has passed through the stipulated time and send countdown performance order to display control unit 36.Display control unit 36 receives this countdown performance order, carries out the demonstration control that makes second display equipment 72 show the countdown image.And, becoming expression timing moment much at one of image of retardation with the countdown image, carry out the processing (S47) that the rotary speed that makes annular lot device 50 is slowed down by the second rotation control part 34b.

In addition, suppose after having passed through the stipulated time, make the rotary speed of the annular lot device 50 that tilts slow down before lot ball 73 entered into some lot and received under this situation of signing bag signal with bag 51 and CPU31, cancel the countdown performance constantly at this, and also do not carry out the processing (S47) of the rotary speed deceleration that makes annular lot device 50.

In addition, also can adopt following structure: make the rotary speed of the annular lot device 50 that the tilts ball 73 of drawing lots after having slowed down also not enter into to draw lots and be trapped under the situation of situation as described above with bags 51 in supposition, for example the back elapsed time that slows down is carried out timing by timing portion, when this elapsed time has reached the stipulated time (also can be set at afore mentioned rules asynchronism(-nization) during), after having carried out the advance notice notifier processes of slowing down, make the rotary speed of annular lot device 50 further to be slowed down, perhaps make its speedup on the contrary.

When the rotary speed of the annular lot device 50 that tilts as present embodiment has been slowed down,, therefore situation as described above is changed owing to draw lots with bag 51 relative moving speed changes with respect to inclined-plane 54a.Consequently, can prevent that the lot ball 73 that rolls from not taking place through how long not entering into the situation of drawing lots with bag 51 on inclined-plane 54a.

When the lot ball 73 that has been dropped into has entered into some lot with bag 51, when the second sensor control part 38b receives with this lots with corresponding the label bag signal of bag 51 (S44), CPU31 rewards decision table and decides and be somebody's turn to do bag corresponding award of signal of middle label with reference to being stored in second among the RAM33.In the present embodiment, can obtainable award roughly distinguish in drawing lots in second center: the expenditure of rewarding the integration of corresponding amount to player's expenditure and this is rewarded (the prize expenditure is rewarded); Be used for rewarding as the free game of the free game of special play in the Slot Machine recreation beginning of carrying out by operating desk portion 2; The first accumulative total prize is rewarded; The second accumulative total prize is rewarded.And CPU31 rewards decision table according to label bag signal and second receiving from the second sensor control part 38b and determine the award that obtains in drawing lots in this second center.

Here, in the present embodiment, have 2 kinds of accumulative total prizes and reward.It is that the first accumulative total prize is stored the award that game money (integration) expenditure of a piece number (output) is given the player who plays games in this operating desk portion 2 that the first accumulative total prize is rewarded.The expression first accumulative total prize stores first of piece number and stores a piece logarithmic data (output data) and be stored among the RAM33 of CCU 30.This first store the count value of piece logarithmic data, promptly the first accumulative total prize to store piece number be following obtaining: for predetermined initial value (for example 500 pieces), whenever at the 2 stake integrations of operating desk portion arbitrarily the time, just accumulative total property ground increases the amount suitable with the part of this wager amount (for example 0.03).

It is that the second accumulative total prize is stored the award that game money (integration) expenditure of a piece number (output) is given the player who plays games in this operating desk portion 2 that the second accumulative total prize is rewarded.The expression second accumulative total prize stores second of piece number and stores a piece logarithmic data (output data) and be stored among the RAM33 of CCU 30.This second stores the count value of piece logarithmic data, promptly the second accumulative total prize stores that piece number is also following to be obtained: for predetermined initial value (for example 500 pieces), whenever at the 2 stake integrations of operating desk portion arbitrarily the time, just accumulative total property ground increases the amount suitable with the part of this wager amount (for example 0.03).

In addition, in the present embodiment, the first accumulative total prize award is identical with the increase condition that the accumulative total prize that the second accumulative total prize is rewarded stores piece number, but also can make them different mutually.

Under the situation that the expenditure that determined to gain an award is rewarded ("Yes" among the S48), CPU31 controls the performance that second display equipment 72 and other performance portion (Lighting Division, audio output unit etc.) are scheduled to.Then, as expenditure processing unit performance function, order (S49) to the operating desk control device 20 transmission prizes expenditures of this operating desk portion 2 as the CPU31 that pays handling part from input/output port 31a.Receive this prize and pay the expenditure processing that adds on the integration data of CPU21 execution in being stored in RAM23 of the operating desk control device 20 of ordering with the corresponding integration amount of this prize expenditure order.In addition, the prize of preferably the prize expenditure in the lot of second center being rewarded is set at the prize expenditure award that is better than in the lot of first center.

In addition, under having determined to obtain the situation that free game rewards ("Yes" among the S50), CPU31 controls the performance that second display equipment 72 and other performance portion (Lighting Division, audio output unit etc.) are scheduled to.Then, CPU31 sends free game initiation command (S51) from input/output port 31a to the operating desk control device 20 of this operating desk portion 2.The CPU21 that receives the operating desk control device 20 of this free game initiation command carries out the program that free game is used, before predetermined free game termination condition was satisfied, the situation that the free game of drawing lots with first center is rewarded was similarly controlled the process of free game.Certainly, also can adopt and encouraging recreation to reward to wait to replace free game to reward, the encouragement recreation (also can be the recreation beyond the Slot Machine recreation) that is used to begin as special play is rewarded in described encouragement recreation.In addition, reward the free game that is performed and compare by obtaining the free game of second center in drawing lots, preferably be set into predetermined free game termination condition and relax etc. for the player more advantageous conditions more by obtaining the free game that the free game of first center in drawing lots be performed.

In addition, under having determined to obtain the situation that the first accumulative total prize rewards ("Yes" among the S52), CPU31 controls the performance that second display equipment 72 and other performance portion (Lighting Division, audio output unit etc.) are scheduled to.Then,, carry out and be used for reading first integration amount that stores piece logarithmic data and amount that the count value of these data is represented and pay processing (S53) as expenditure processing unit performance function as the CPU31 of expenditure handling part to the player who plays games in this operating desk portion 2 from RAM33.Specifically, for example similarly order to the operating desk control device 20 transmission prizes expenditures of this operating desk portion 2 from input/output port 31a with the situation of prize expenditure award.Perhaps, the person in charge who carries out play facility directly pays waiter's payments (attendant pay) such as game money to the player.In addition, CPU31 will be stored in first among the RAM33 and store a piece logarithmic data and reset to initial value (S54).

In addition, under having determined to obtain the situation that the second accumulative total prize rewards ("No" among the S52), CPU31 controls the performance that second display equipment 72 and other performance portion (Lighting Division, audio output unit etc.) are scheduled to.Then,, carry out and be used for reading second integration amount that stores piece logarithmic data and amount that the count value of these data is represented identical or different method when rewarding and pay processing (S55) as expenditure processing unit performance function as the CPU31 of expenditure handling part to the player who plays games in this operating desk portion 2 with the first accumulative total prize from RAM33.In addition, CPU31 will be stored in second among the RAM33 and store a piece logarithmic data and reset to initial value (S56).

In the present embodiment, no matter be to have obtained the first accumulative total prize the player which operating desk portion 2 plays games to reward, reward relevant second with the second accumulative total prize and store piece logarithmic data and can not be reset.Similarly, no matter be to have obtained the second accumulative total prize the player which operating desk portion 2 plays games to reward, reward relevant first with the first accumulative total prize and store piece logarithmic data and can not be reset.That is, after someone had obtained the award of a certain accumulative total prize, piece number that stores that another kind of accumulative total prize is rewarded also can be kept.Therefore, obtained at someone under the situation of a certain accumulative total prize award, other player can be gone down for the desire that obtains this accumulative total prize award, still can produce oneself to wish the another kind of burning desire that adds up the prize award of acquisition.Consequently, reward even someone has obtained a certain accumulative total prize, the recreation for other player can not descend yet, and can expect that on the contrary its recreation property further improves.

In addition, in the present embodiment, receiving the game money game machine that game money (stake object) controls game process as condition from the player is that example is illustrated, but for will directly receive currency as condition control game process, be arranged on and be suitable for too the game device in the public place of entertainment etc. etc.

In addition, in the present embodiment, illustrated use center lot device 3 and according to enter into as the lot ball 73 with object of drawing lots a plurality of lot with which of bag 41,51 decide the award that obtained such carry out the situation that physics is drawn lots, still also can carry out the physics lot of other kinds by use center lot device 3.For example, the device 3 of also can being drawn lots in the center is applied to the Bingo game machine, is applied to distribute guest's dagger-axe numeral respectively with bag 41,51 and will distribute to as each lot ball 73 with object of drawing lots to a plurality of lot enter into the physics lot that lot wherein determines as label guest dagger-axe numeral successively with guest's dagger-axe numeral of bag 41,51.In this case, if be example with the situation of using perpendicular rings shape lot device 40, if then repeatedly drop into lot ball 73 under by the state of position making the shutter 47c that is arranged in the first ball discharge portion 48 move to ball as shown in Figure 13, because having entered the lot of lot ball 73 is stopped up by this lot ball 73 with bag 41, therefore can prevent that the situation of signing in same guest's dagger-axe repetition of figures from taking place, can carry out guest's dagger-axe lot rapidly, be useful therefore.

In addition, in the present embodiment, if repeatedly drop into lot ball 73 under by the state of position making the shutter 47c that is arranged in the first ball discharge portion 48 move to ball as shown in Figure 13, because the lot that has entered lot ball 73 is stopped up by this lot ball 73 with bag 41, therefore the lot club after enters into other and draws lots with some lot of bag 41 with bag.If form such structure, then might provide following recreation: for example game settings is being become to obtain the lot award of second center under the situation of maximum target, draw lots the lot of the award beyond rewarding during with bag 41 when the lot ball 73 that is dropped into has at first entered into second center that has been assigned with, and the lot ball 73 that next dropped into enters into the draw lots lot of rewarding of second center that has been assigned with and uprises with bags 41 probability.This explanation is at the situation of vertical annular lot device 40, but also is the same under the situation of annular lot device 50 that tilts.
