Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a gaming machine, such as a gaming machine with rotating reels, which is equipped with variable display means, such as reels, which performs a variable display of characters necessary for a game, and control means, such as a microcomputer, and so on.

State of the art

In the past, a gaming machine of this kind was, for example, a gaming machine with rotating reels. A game on a gaming machine with rotating reels starts by inserting a coin into a gaming machine with rotating reels or by placing a coin into a gaming machine with rotating reels in the range of the number of credited coins, while the player acts with a start lever, a rotation button, etc. When a game on a gaming machine with rotating reels is started, a plurality of reels, on which surfaces a plurality of symbols are applied, begin to rotate, and then, in accordance with a predetermined order, each reel stops. When each reel stops and the symbols that are displayed on a predetermined line are in a predetermined combination and correspond to a winning combination, a predetermined number of coins are paid out as a reward, in accordance with the coins that were bet by the player and the winning combination. As mentioned above, one game ends.

Among such gaming machines with rotating reels, a certain gaming machine is set up so that the characters that appear when the reels stop are lined up in a predetermined line, and thereby the bonus game, which is more favorable to the player than the main game, is launched from the main game. Then, during the bonus game, the number of coins that are paid out as a reward according to the coins that have been betted by the player is relatively more significant than that paid in the main game.

Generally speaking, the machine may display a payout table that reads out the number of coins payable as a reward in accordance with the amount bet by the player and the winning combination on a predetermined display device. In a gaming machine that pays out more coins as a reward in accordance with the amount that was bet by the player, in the case where a predetermined state, for example, a state in which the bonus game is started from the main game, as described above, may be more preferable modify and display the standard payout table when a predetermined condition is met, so that the player can easily recognize the change. As such a gaming machine, a gaming machine is proposed that modifies and displays a standard payout table so that the player can receive a large payout amount when the means for the game, such as coins (money) wagered by the player, can be larger than a predetermined number of coins, and the gaming machine informs the player of the change along with a notification of such a state (for example, see publication of patent document 1 ΙΡ-Λ-2001-120716)

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

However, such a gaming machine aims to increase the motivation of the player to deposit more funds for the game by changing the payout table in accordance with the amount of funds for the game that the player puts in order to make the player more likely to receive a payout. Therefore, in a gaming machine that pays out more coins as a reward in accordance with the amount that has been betted by the player, it is not easy to display payout tables that correspond to the main game and the bonus game, respectively, so that the player can easily distinguish them.

In view of the above problem, the invention provides a gaming machine that displays payout tables corresponding to the main game and the bonus game, respectively, so that the player can easily distinguish them with respect to the gaming machine that pays out more coins in accordance with the amount that was set by the player when the state of the gaming machine is changed from the state of the main game to the state of the bonus game, which is favorable to the player.

In this case, the rotation again includes the execution and very small rotation of the reels from the once stopped position to the stop position, which must be set, and the rotation of the reels again as usual), BΟK win ΤυNΕ ΙδΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ. The formation operations and the nature of the game for these premium games will be described below.

Progressive game system

Below, a progressive game system in which a plurality of gaming machine modules 1 are connected via progressive game interfaces 81, respectively, is described based on FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view that schematically shows a progressive game system 82.

In the progressive game system 82, which is shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of devices (four devices in this embodiment) of the gaming machines 1 with rotating reels are connected to the exchange control section 84 of the progressive game module 83, via the connected progressive game interfaces 81. The connection of the progressive game device 83 and each gaming machine 1 with the rotating reels is possible using any wired connection and a wireless connection. This means that the progressive game module 83 and each gaming machine 1 with rotating reels are capable of two-way communication via the exchange control section 84.

As the information that is transmitted from each gaming machine 1 with spinning reels to the progressive game module 83, information is used on the number of coins entered, which was the bet in each machine 1 with spinning reels, and information when the character operated by the player wins the battle with the enemy, at the final point of the game δυΟΟΚΟΚυ (Japanese bakgammon (backgammon)), which is launched in the premium game БΟКΤυNΕ ΙδΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ, which is described below. In addition, as the information that is transmitted from the progressive game module 83 to each gaming machine 1 with rotating reels, information is used about the total number of coins, which is information about the total amount of coins entered, which were the rate in each gaming machine 1 with rotating reels . Similar information about the total number of coins is transmitted from the progressive game module 83 to each gaming machine 1 with rotating reels through an exchange control section 84 and displayed on the subdisplay 3 in each gaming machine 1 with rotating reels at a predetermined distribution of time or time points. Some or all of the coins that have been accumulated as the value of the progressive game, which indicates information about the total number of coins, are given as a MAJOR WIN (jackpot) to the player of the gaming machine 1 with spinning reels, in which the character that the player is operating can win (hereinafter referred to as winning БΟКΤυNΕ ΙδΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ) the battle with the enemy, at the final point of the game δυΟΟΚΟΚυ, which is launched in the game БΟК.ΤυNΕ ΙδΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ.

Then, the aggregate bet calculation section 85 in the progressive game module 83 performs the addition of a regular bonus in which 1.7% (the present invention is not limited to this) of the number of coins that were inserted into each gaming machine 1 with rotating reels, is added to the cumulative the initial quantity using 900 (this invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to change the installation parameters arbitrarily) as the initial number in relation to ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ Ι8ΕΆΝΌ ΒΟΝυδ, based on the information about the input of coins, my each gaming machine 1 with rotating drums.

Meanwhile, in each slot machine 1 with spinning reels, if a player of any slot machine 1 with spinning reels receives a Jackpot payout, information about the total number of coins that corresponds to the value of the progressive game is re-set to the initial value. In addition, the cumulative amount storage section 86 stores the number of coins that has been calculated in the aggregate bet calculation section 85, as described above.

The progressive game module 83, arranged as described above, transmits information about the total number of coins for each regular bonus stored in the aggregate rate storage section 86 from the exchange control section 84 for each gaming machine 1 with spinning reels on a regular basis ( periodically). In each gaming machine 1 with rotating reels, the total number of coins that was transmitted earlier and the information about the total number of coins that were transmitted this time are periodically compared with information about the total number of coins that is transmitted from the progressive game module 83, and in the case if this time the total number of coins is less than the last cumulative number of coins, then notify that there is a gain related to ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ Ι8ΕΆΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ.

Therefore, even if the information that is transmitted from the progressive game module 83 to each gaming machine 1 with rotating reels is limited, other machines 1 are notified that there is a premium game ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΕΆΝΌ δυδ, and therefore, it is possible not only for the player, which wins, but also the player of another gaming machine 1 with spinning reels, it is easy to confirm on the sub-display 3 or the main display 4 that the set of coin bets is issued to the winner of the bonus game ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΕΛΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ, and this means That it is possible to increase the player's interest to ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΕΛΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ, to promote retention (player). In addition, it is possible to carry out notification of winnings for each of the many ordinary bonuses (bonuses), and therefore, it is also possible to easily confirm that coins related to such a regular bonuses have been received.

In addition, if the win ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΕΛΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ occurs in the gaming machine 1 with spinning reels, the progressive game module 83 transmits information about the total number of coins for each progressive game, which is related to the bonus game, for each gaming machine 1 with the spinning reels through exchange control section 84, as described above, and furthermore, in the gaming machine 1 with the rotating reels, information about the total number of coins is displayed on the sub-display 3. This means that you can increase the feeling expectations of interest in winning ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΕΛΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ and contribute to the "immersion" of the player.

Probability Lottery Table for the Main Game

In FIG. 8 shows a probability lottery table that is used in a probability lottery to determine a winning combination in a main game of a gaming machine 1 with spinning reels. The symbols that should appear are defined by determining to which range the extracted random number value belongs to the symbol that is applied to each reel 22b, 22C, 22Κ. The symbol for each reel 22b, 22C, 22Κ is set based on the value of a random number that was extracted independently for each reel 22b, 22C, 22Κ.

In FIG. 8 is a probability lottery table showing which symbol is selected in each reel 22b, 22C, 22Κ according to the corresponding selected random numbers in the case when in the main game the number of coins that were the player’s bet in the slot machine 1 is 5. For example, in in the case where the random number value that was selected in accordance with the lottery for the reel 22b is 10, the symbol that is shown when the reel 22b is stopped is HUSHE. and when the random number value that was selected in the lottery for drum 22C is 25, then the symbol that is shown when stopping the drum 22C is ΚΕΏ7, and when the random number value that was selected in the lottery for drum 22 является is 65, then the symbol that is shown when the reel 22Κ is stopped is the bonus game initiation symbol 93 (see FIG. 4). Thus, the symbol that should appear for each reel 22b, 22C, 22Κ is determined.

Meanwhile, the correspondence of the characters of space 1 and space 2 shown in FIG. 8 and the plurality of empty characters 97 shown in FIG. 4 is not particularly limited. For example, when a gap 1 is selected on the reel 22b according to the probability lottery table in FIG. 8, this controls the stop in such a way that in the symbol string of the reel 22b, any of the symbols to which code number 02 has been assigned and the symbol to which code number 06 has been set, stop at the pay line b. In the same way, when a space 2 is selected on the reel 22b according to the probability lottery table in FIG. 8, this controls the stop so that in the character string of the reel 22b in FIG. 4 any

- 13 008323 of the symbols to which the code number 02 has been assigned, and the symbol to which the code number 06 has been set, stop at the pay line b.

Table of probabilistic lottery of the bonus game МАС1С ЬАМР ΒΟΝϋδ

In FIG. 9 shows a probability lottery table that is used in a probability lottery to determine a winning combination in a premium game MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝυδ of a gaming machine 1 with rotating reels. The symbols that should appear are determined by the range to which the extracted random number value belongs for the symbol printed on each reel 22b, 22C, 22B. The symbol of each reel 22b, 22C, 22B is determined based on the value of the random number that was extracted separately, in general, for each reel 22b, 22C, 22B. For example, in the case when the random number value that was selected by the lottery is 10, then the symbols that are shown when the reels 22b, 22C, 22B are stopped are all ΒΕΌ7. Thus, the symbol that should appear for each reel 22b, 22C, 22B is uniquely set for one random number value that has been selected by the lottery, and the symbols that have been determined are all identical. That is, in the premium game MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝυδ, any of the winning ABO combinations. ΚΕΩ7. 3ВАВ, 2ВАВ, and ВАВ are naturally chosen in the probability lottery for a winning combination.

Winning combination determination table

As described above, during the main game of the gaming machine 1 with rotating reels, random number values that are independent respectively are extracted for each reel 22b, 22C, 22B, and based on the respective random number values, a stop symbol with respect to each reel 22b is determined , 22C, 22B. As a result of this, when each reel 22b, 22C, 22B is stopped, it is necessary to perform processing to determine whether the arrangement of their symbols forms a winning combination or not. The winning combination determination table shown in FIG. 10 is a table that is used to process such a determination. When the symbol arrangement of each reel 22b, 22C, 22B is set, and the symbol arrangement is, for example, BEP7-BEP7-BEP7, it is determined that the winning combination is BEPO7, and as shown in FIG. 10, a predetermined payout, which corresponds to the number of bets, is issued to the player. In FIG. 10 that the appearing symbols are ANΥΒAB-ANΥΒAWA ^ IUWAV means that each appearing symbol for each reel 22b, 22C, 22B can be an arbitrary symbol from 3BAB, 2BAB, and BAB. When the stop symbol in other cases differs from the specific view shown in FIG. 10, the winning combination is LOSING or not winning. Meanwhile, numerical values of the number of payments at the time of winning that correspond to the winning combination shown in FIG. 10 are information that becomes the basis for the payout table information that is displayed on the sub-display 3 during the main game or during the bonus game MAO1C LAMP VONi8, as described below. That is, during the main game, numerical values of the number of payouts at the time of winning that correspond to the winning combination shown in FIG. 10 are displayed on the payout table as they are, and during the bonus game MAO1C LAMP VOKTi8 such a numerical value that is a numerical value of the number of payouts for each winning combination that corresponds to the number of coin bets that were placed by the player when they win the game MAO1C LAMP BOΝυδ, is displayed on the payout table multiplied by one (that is, in this case, there is no change in the numerical value), doubled or tripled. For example, if a player makes a 2BET bet on a game in which the bonus game MAO1C BAMP ΒΟNυδ was won and the payout is doubled as a result of a predetermined lottery, doubled numerical values for 2BET corresponding to each winning combination in FIG. 10 are displayed on a payout table.

Conventional image selection probability table

In FIG. 11 shows a probability lottery table that is used in the lottery to select a demonstration image that is displayed on the main display 4 when the main game is started in the gaming machine 1 with spinning reels. Based on the extracted random number value, a lottery is performed to select a demonstration image to be displayed on the main display 4, and on the basis of the conventional image that was determined at that time, the demonstration that is displayed on the main display 4 is different for a period of time in advance given game. For example, when δΕΛ (sea) is selected as a normal image, then the demonstration in which the main character goes through various events during a trip by sea is performed on the main display 4, and when 'ΌΕδΕΡΤ (desert) is selected as a normal image, then a demonstration in which the main character goes through various events during a journey in the desert is performed on the main display 4. When one random number is extracted and the random number is, for example, 100, then '^ EA (SEA) is selected as the usual image Niya.

Probability lottery table for determining the stopping order of the drum

In FIG. 12 shows a probability lottery table that is accessed when the probability lottery is used to determine the stopping order of the reels. Break Order for Drum

- 14 008323 nov 22b, 22C, 22B determined in accordance with the lottery. This lottery is executed at a point in time other than the time when the bonus game initiation symbol 93 is selected for the reel 22B (i.e., when the winning combination is a bonus game). In the case where one random number is selected by lottery and the random number is included in the range related to the stop order, the stop order of the reels 22b, 22C, 22B in this embodiment is determined. The stop order in which the stop order for the reels is 22b, 22C, 22B is called the first stop order, the stop order in which the stop order for the reels is 22b, 22B, 22C is called the second stop order, the stop order in which the stop order for the reels is 22C, 22b, 22b, called the third stop order, the stop order in which the stop order for the reels is 22C, 22B, 22b, the fourth stop order, the stop order in which the stop order for the reels is 22B, 22B, 22C, n They are called the fifth stopping order, the stopping order in which the stopping order for the reels is 22B, 22C, 22B is called the sixth stopping order. For example, when the extracted random number value is 95, a second stop order is selected (i.e., a stop order such that the reels 22b, 22B, 22C are stopped in that order). Then, the gaming machine 1 with rotating reels controls the stopping of the reels 22b, 22C, 22B in accordance with this selected stopping order.

Probability Lottery Choice Lottery Table

In FIG. 13 shows a probability lottery table that is used to select a demonstration that is performed on the main display 4 when a bonus game initiation symbol 93 is selected for the reel 22B (i.e., when the winning combination is a premium game) and the number of coins to bet (number coins that were put by the player on a regular game) is 5 (5 coins). When the demo is determined in accordance with this probabilistic lottery and thereby it is determined that the bonus game initiation symbol 93 causes a stop for the reel 22B, a classification (determination) of whether the bonus MLS1C LAMP ΒΟΝυδ is won, whether the bonus ΡΘΒΤυΝΕ ΙδΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ is won, or the bonus ΒΑΝΏΙΤ is won 'δ ΗΙΌΕΘυΤ ΒΟΝυδ. For example, when one random number is extracted, and the random number is 80, then the “telescope” demonstration is performed on the main display, and the bonus ΒΑΝΏΙΤ'δ ΗΙΌΕΘυΤ ΒΟΝυδ was won the last time. In this regard, however, as described below, in the case of the demonstration EXCITING, even if the demonstration “telescope” is performed on the main display 4, the bonus game ΡΟΒΤυΝΕ ΙδΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ was won the last time. In addition, when one random number is extracted, and the random number is 150, the “bird” demonstration is performed on the main display 4, and the bonus game ΡΟΒΤυΝΕ ΙδΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυδ was last won. In addition, when one random number is extracted, and the random number is 200, the “dolphin” effect (“snake”) is performed on the main display 4, and the last time the bonus game ΜΑΟΙΟ ΕΑΜΡ ΒΟΝυδ was won.

Meanwhile, in the case when the bonus game initiation symbol 93 is selected for reel 22B and when the number of coins for the bet is 1BET (one coin), 2BET (two coins), or 3BET (three coins), they do not perform a lottery to select a demo, which continue on the main display 4, and in the case where it is determined to stop the bonus game initiation symbol 93 for the reel 22B, it is necessary to control so as to win the premium game ΒΑΝΏΙΤ'δ ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝυδ.

Demonstration Definition Probability Lottery Table

In FIG. 14 shows a probabilistic lottery table that is used in the case of determining, execute and do not perform a demonstration. ENABLE when the bonus game initiation symbol 93 is selected for the reel 22B (i.e., when the winning combination is the bonus bonus game). For example, when one random number is retrieved, and the random number value is 100, this determines not to perform the ACTIVATION demonstration, and on the one hand, when it is 130, it determines to perform the ACTIVATION demonstration. In accordance with the result of this determination, the EXCITATION demonstration is performed so as to visually interact with each other on the reel 22B and the main display 4 of the gaming machine 1 with the rotating reels.

The demonstration displayed on the main display 4, visually joint with the main game of the gaming machine 1 with rotating reels

As a demonstration, which is displayed on the main display 4, which is visually compatible with the main game of the gaming machine 1 with the rotating reels, there are the following elements. When the rotation of the reels 22b, 22C, 22B is started, the demonstrations can be divided into categories depending on the winning combination that has already been determined before the rotation of the reels 22b, 22C, 22B is stopped. The demonstrations are roughly divided into a telescope demonstration and a bird demonstration, which are performed when the winning combination is a bonus game; the effect of a successful game, which is performed when the winning combination is HUV-E. BEO7, 3ΒΑΕ, 2ΒΑΕ, ΒΑΕ and ΑΝΥΕΑΕ; and the effect of an unsuccessful game, which is performed when the winning combination is a loss.

As for the telescope demonstration and the bird demonstration, since the winning combination is the bonus game and it is predetermined to stop the premium playing symbol 93 on the reel 22B, they are the demonstrations that are performed when the bonus playing initiation symbol 93 stops.

As described above, whether a telescope demonstration or a bird demonstration is being performed is determined according to a probability lottery. Additionally, the telescope demonstration is basically a demonstration of winning ΒΑΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΌΕΘυΤ демонстраυδ, and when the EXCITATION demonstration is performed, the telescope demonstration is a demonstration that the bonus game EOBΤυΝΕ Ι8ΕΑΝΏ NOXC8 is won.

The effect of a successful game is a demonstration, which is performed in the case when the winning combination is any of No. ΙΕΌ, ΒΕΌ7, 3ΒΑΒ, 2ΒΑΒ, ΒΑΒ, and ΑΝΎΒΑΒ, and is further divided into categories the effect of a successful game "dolphin", the effect of a successful game "snake", the effect of the successful game "seagull", the effect of the successful game "buzzard", and the effect of the successful game "monkey". The effect of a successful dolphin game, the effect of a successful seagull game, and the effect of a successful monkey game are demonstrations that are performed when the SEA is selected as a normal screen (image). The effect of a successful snake game, the effect of a successful buzzard game, and the effect of a successful monkey game are demonstrations that are performed when DESERT is selected as a regular image.

The effect of a successful game "dolphin" and the effect of a successful game "snake" are such demonstrations that in the main game, a "dolphin" or "snake" appears on the main display 4 in concert with the stop of the reels 22b, 22C, 22B, and "dolphin" or "snake" »Transfers the lamp to the main character in concert before and after stopping the rotation of the drum, which finally stops. Then the spirit of the lamp emerges from the lamp, and the bonus game MLS1C ΕΑΜΡ ΒΘΝυδ is won.

Meanwhile, in such a way that the game effect that is displayed on the main display 4 is controlled in concert before and after stopping the rotation of the reel that stops, there are the following three modes for details. In the event that the game effect, which is displayed on the main display 4, is controlled while the rotation of the drum is stopped, there are three modes, as described below.

The first is an option to perform a demonstration of the image after the drum has stopped. In this case, the drum stop control is performed, and a demonstration command is transmitted at the same time. For example, when the stop control of the drum 22C is executed and at the same time a demonstration command (for example, a “seagull” demonstration command 2 in FIG. 21) relating to the drum 22C is transmitted, the image demonstration is started after the drum 22C has stopped. Meanwhile, a similar control method is also applicable to the drums 22b, 22B. As an example of such an option, there is a demonstration of the success of a “seagull” (or failure), etc.

The second is the option to perform the demonstration of the image before controlling the stop of the drum. The predetermined demonstration execution time is set to demonstrate the image based on the demonstration data that correspond to each drum, respectively, and the drum stop control is performed after the demonstration command is transmitted, and the predetermined demonstration execution time expires. For example, a demonstration execution time of two seconds is set to demonstrate the image based on the demonstration command for the drum 22C, and after 2 expiration of the demonstration execution time, the stopping control of the drum 22C is performed. Meanwhile, a similar control method is also applicable to reels 22b, B. As an example of this option, there is a demonstration of the success (or failure) of the “monkey”, a demonstration of the success of the “seagull” (or failure), etc.

The third is the option to perform the demonstration of the image before and after controlling the stop of the drum. The predetermined demonstration execution time is set to demonstrate the image based on the demonstration data that correspond to each drum, respectively, and the drum stop control is performed after the demonstration command is transmitted and the predetermined demonstration execution time expires. For example, a demonstration execution time of four seconds is set to demonstrate the image based on the demonstration command of the drum 22C, and after two seconds of the demonstration execution time has elapsed, the stopping of the drum 22C is performed. Even after the stopping of the drum 22C is controlled, image demonstration is performed for the remaining two seconds. Meanwhile, a similar control method is also applicable to the drums 22b, B.

The effect of the successful game “seagull” and the effect of the successful game “buzzard” are such demonstrations that in the main game the “seagull” or “buzzard” appears on the main display 4 in coordination with the stopping of the reels 22b, 22C, 22B, and the seagull or buzzard remains in the frames display windows 23, 24, 25 for the drums in concert before and after the respective rotation stops of the drums 22b, 22C, 22B. According to such a demonstration, the seagull or buzzard remains in the frames of the display windows 23, 24, 25, and thus the player can be notified that there is such a possibility that a specific winning combination is realized.

The effect of the successful game “monkey” is such a demonstration in which in the main game the monkey appears on the main display 4 in coordination with the stops of the reels 22b, 22C, 22B, and

- 16 008323 the monkey hangs on any of the windows 23, 24, 25 display the drum, which stops next, immediately before the respective stops of rotation of the reels 22b, 22C, 22K. According to this demonstration, the monkey hangs on any of the display windows 23, 24, 25 of the reel that stops next, and thus it is possible to notify the player of the reel that stops next, and it is possible to notify the player that it is possible that a particular winning combination is realized .

The failure effect is a demonstration that is performed when the winning combination is a loss, and which is further divided into categories the dolphin failure effect, the snake failure effect, the seagull failure effect, the buzzard failure effect, the monkey failure effect, “telescope” failure effect and “bird” failure effect. The “dolphin” failure effect, the “seagull” failure effect, the “monkey” failure effect, the “telescope” failure effect, and the “bird” failure effect are demonstrations that are performed when §EA (SEA) is selected as the normal image. The “snake” failure effect, the “buzzard” failure effect, the “monkey” failure effect, the “telescope” failure effect, and the “bird” failure effect are demonstrations that are performed when DESERT is selected as the normal image. The failure effect, which is performed in this case, depends on the stopping order of the drums 22b, 22c, 22h. When the stopping order of the reels 22B, 22C, 22H is the first stopping order, according to the lottery, one demo is selected from the “dolphin (snake)” failure effect, the “gull (buzzard)” failure effect, the “monkey” failure effect, the “telescope” failure effect ”And the“ bird ”failure effect, but when the stopping order of the reels 22b, 22C, 22H is different from the first stopping order, according to the lottery, one demonstration is selected from the“ dolphin (snake) ”failure effect, the“ gull (buzzard) ”failure effect and the effect of failure "monkey." When it is determined to stop the bonus game initiation symbol 93 for reel 22H, the rotation of the reels 22b, 22C, 22H will certainly be stopped in the first stop order, and therefore, conversely, even if the rotation of the reels 22b, 22C, 22H is stopped in the first stop order, if the winning combination is losing or not winning, this has the advantage that the player is given the feeling of waiting for the possibility that the bonus game initiation symbol 93 will stop for the reel 22H.

Demonstration selection probability lottery table corresponding to a winning combination (except for a bonus game (ΒΟΝϋ8 CAME) and a loss (ЬО88))

In FIG. 15 shows a probability lottery table used for a lottery in which the effect of a successful game is selected according to a winning combination other than a bonus game and a loss.

When the normal image is SEA, the demonstration according to the lottery with a predetermined probability selects the effect of the successful game "dolphin" from the three demonstrations, the effect of the successful game "gull" and the effect of the successful game "monkey", and the demonstration is in accordance with with a lottery with a predetermined probability, the effect of a successful game “buzzard”, the effect of a successful game “snake” and the effect of a successful game “monkey” are selected from three demonstrations. Which demo is selected according to the lottery varies depending on the winning combination, as shown in FIG. 15. The peculiarity of the probability distribution for the lottery is that it is highly probable that they will choose the effect of a successful game “gull (buzzard)” in accordance with the lottery in the case of a winning combination having a low probability of winning, similar to the AChE. Thus, by distinguishing between such a probability according to which a demo is selected with respect to each winning combination, it is possible to improve the versatility of the demonstrations.

Table of probabilistic lottery selection of the demonstration of failure in the case when the winning combination is a loss (or not winning)

In FIG. 16 shows a probability lottery table used for a lottery in which the failure effect is selected in accordance with the stopping order of the reels 22b, 22C, 22K

In the case where the stopping order of the reels 22B, 22C, 22H is the first stopping order, and the usual image is the SEA, the demonstration according to the lottery with a predetermined probability selects the “dolphin” failure effect, the “gull” failure effect, the failure effect from five demonstrations “Monkey”, “telescope” failure effect and “bird” failure effect, and when the DESERT is the usual image, the demonstration according to the lottery with a predetermined probability select the “buzzard” failure effect from five demonstrations, the failure effect chi "snake", the effect of the failure of "monkey", the effect of the failure of "telescope" and the effect of the failure of "the bird." Which demonstration is selected for some extracted random number value is shown in FIG. sixteen.

In addition, when the stopping order of the reels 22B, 22C, 22H is different from the first stopping order, and the usual image is SEA, the demonstration according to the lottery with a predetermined probability selects the “dolphin” failure effect, the “seagull” failure effect and the effect the failure is “monkey”, and when the DESERT is the usual image, the demonstration according to the lottery with a predetermined probability selects from three demonstrations the effect of failure “buzzard”, the effect of failure “snake” and the effect of failure “monkey”. What a demonstration

- 17 008323 are selected for some extracted random number value, shown in FIG. sixteen.

In FIG. 19 shows a payout table that is used for a lottery that defines a change pattern for changing payout information related to a payout that is issued to a player according to the number of bets when the bonus game MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝϋδ is won. Based on this changed payout information, the payout table that is displayed on the sub display 3 is changed. The payout information that changes when the MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝϋδ bonus game is won is only payout information that corresponds to the value of a bet ΒΕΤ in the game in which the MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝϋδ bonus game is won. For example, in a game in which MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝϋδ is won, if a player makes a 2BET bet (two coins are a bet for the game), only the payment information in case of a 2BET bet is changed. There are three templates as a template for changing payment information: There is no payment change that correlates with the corresponding number of bets, a change in payment that correlates with the corresponding number of bets doubled, and a change in payment that correlates with the corresponding number of bets tripled, embodiment (the present invention is not limited to this, and everything is acceptable, even if different methods are used, for example, the magnification ratio selected in accordance with with the lottery and the amount of payment determined in accordance with the lottery). Which change pattern is selected for one extracted random number is shown in FIG. nineteen.

As mentioned earlier, various probability lottery tables have been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and as for the probability distribution and variations of the choices that can be selected according to the lottery, it is possible for them to make structural changes to enhance the essence of the game.

Then, at step 8102, conventional image selection processing is performed. The details of this processing are described in detail for the conventional image selection processing according to FIG. 30, which is described below.

Then, at step 8103, bet acceptance processing ΒΕΤ is performed. A determination is made whether the main control circuit 50a detected that a bet operation was performed by the player operating the various 1 bet switches with 59 1BET switch (see FIG. 5), 3 3 BET switch 60 (see FIG. 5) and 5 5BET switch 61 (see Fig. 5). In the case where the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to step 8104, and when it is “No”, step 8103 is repeated.

Then, at step 8104, a determination is made whether the switch 58 8 58 (see FIG. 5) or the start switch 57 (see FIG. 5) was turned on. The main control circuit 50a determines whether or not the switch 8 8ΡΙΝ or the switch 57 start. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to step 8105, and when it is “No”, step 8104 is repeated.

Then, at step 8105, value transfer processing for the progressive bet game (progressive game) is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits a predetermined proportion of the bet amount that was accepted in step 8103 as a value for the progressive betting game to the progressive game unit 83 via the progressive game interface 81 Ι / ((see FIG. 5).

Then, at step 8106, processing is performed to determine the symbols that appear on the reels 22b, 22C, 22Κ (see FIG. 5) in accordance with the probability lottery. The main control circuit 50a controls the random number sampling circuit 56 (see FIG. 5) and ultimately extracts three random number values that correspond to the reels 22b, 22C, 22Κ, respectively, from the random number values generated by the random number generator 55 (see Fig. 5). The main control circuit 50a further determines the occurring symbol for each reel 22b, 22C, 22Κ based on the corresponding random number values and by referring to the corresponding probability lottery tables for the reels 22b, 22C, 22Κ used for the main game shown in FIG. 8. With regard to the definition of occurring characters, the code numbers shown in FIG. 4 corresponding to the corresponding characters are stored in RAM 52.

Then, at step 8107, drum rotation processing is performed. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 (see FIG. 5) to start the drive of the stepper motors 68B, 68C, 68Κ, and thereby starts the rotation of the reels 22b, 22C, 22Κ.

Then, at step 8108, processing is performed to determine if the bonus game initiation symbol is a symbol that stops on the reel 22Κ. The main control circuit 50a determines whether or not the symbol that appears on the reel 22Κ is the bonus game initiation symbol 93 (i.e., code number 02 (see FIG. 4)) by accessing the stored in RAM 52 reel code numbers. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing proceeds to step 8109 of FIG. 29, and when it is “No”, processing is re

- 20 008323 lead to step 8116 in FIG. 29.

Then, at step 8109, drum stop order determination processing is performed. The main control circuit 50a controls the random number sampling circuit 56 (see FIG. 5), and extracts one random number value from the random number values generated by the random number generator 55 (see FIG. 5). The main control circuit 50a further determines the stop order for each reel 22b, 22C, 22K based on this random number value and by referring to the probability lottery table to determine the stop order of the drum shown in FIG. 12. The determined (in this way) stopping order of the reels 22b, 22C, 22K is stored in RAM 52.

Then, at block 8110, winning combination determination processing is performed. The main control circuit 50a determines which winning combination corresponds to a combination of appearing symbols based on the code numbers for symbols correspondingly appearing on the reels 22b, 22C, 22K, which are stored in the RAM 52 at 8106, and by referring to the winning combination determination table shown in FIG. 10.

Then, at step 8111, the processing of determining whether the winning combination is different from the loss is performed. The main control circuit 50a determines whether the winning combination determined in step 8110 is different from the loss. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing proceeds to step 8112, and when it is “No”, the processing proceeds to step 8113.

Then, at step 8112, a demonstration is performed that corresponds to the winning combination and drum stop processing. The details of this processing are described in detail for a demonstration that corresponds to the winning combination and reel stop processing, which is described below. When this processing is completed, the processing proceeds to step 8102 in the main flowchart of FIG. 28.

On the one hand, in step 8113, a determination is made whether the stopping order of the drum is the first stopping order. The main control circuit 50a determines whether or not the stopping order of the drum is the first stopping order, with reference to the stopping orders of the reels that are determined in step 8109 and stored in RAM 52. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing proceeds to step 8114, and when it is “No”, the processing is transferred to step 8115.

Then, at step 8114, failure processing is performed in the first stop and stop order of the drum. The details of this processing are described in detail in the failure effect processing in the first stop and stop order of the drum, which is described below. When this processing is completed, the processing proceeds to step 8102 in the main flowchart of FIG. 28.

On the one hand, in step 8115, failure processing is performed in a case other than the first stop and stop order of the drum. The details of this processing are described to handle the failure effect in a case other than the first stop and stop order of the drum, which is described below. When this processing is completed, the processing proceeds to step 8102 in the main flowchart of FIG. 28.

On the one hand, in step 8116, bonus game processing is performed. The details of this processing are described for processing the bonus game, which is described below. When this processing is completed, the processing proceeds to step 8102 in the main flowchart of FIG. 28.

Details of conventional image selection processing

With reference to FIG. 30 describes the details of the conventional image selection processing that is performed in step 8102 in the main flowchart of FIG. 28. The conventional image the screen shows as a demonstration image, which is displayed on the main display 4 during the normal main game of the gaming machine 1 with the rotating reels.

At step 8121, a determination is made as to whether the value 0 of the normal image selection counter is 0. The main control circuit 50a (see FIG. 5) determines whether the value is 0 by accessing the value of the selection counter of a conventional image, which is a variable stored in RAM 52 (see FIG. 5). When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing proceeds to step 8122, and when it is “No”, the processing proceeds to step 8124.

Then, at step 8122, lottery processing for selecting a conventional image is performed. The main control circuit 50a controls the random number sampling circuit 56 (see FIG. 5) and extracts one random number value from the random number values generated by the random number generator 55 (see FIG. 5). The main control circuit 50a further determines a conventional image based on this random number value, and by referring to the probability table of a conventional image selection shown in FIG. eleven.

Then, at step 8123, switching processing of the conventional image is performed. The main control circuit 50a starts displaying a conventional image that was determined in step 8122 and is displayed on the main display 4 during the main game. The main control circuit 50a transmits a demonstration command (see FIG. 20), which corresponds to the normal image determined in step 8122, to the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6), and the sub-control circuit 171 having received the demon command

- 21 008323 pages, reads the demonstration data that corresponds to the demonstration command from the sub-ROM 223 (see Fig. 6), and the sub-CPU 221 (see Fig. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75, and displays the corresponding normal the image on the main display 4. Meanwhile, in FIG. 42 shows an image for displaying SEA on the main display 4 as a normal image. In addition, in FIG. 43 shows an image for displaying DESERT on the main display 4 as a normal image.

Then, at 8124, processing is performed to add 1 to the normal image selection counter. The main control circuit 50a adds 1 to the value of the selection counter of the conventional image, which is a variable stored in RAM 52.

Then, at step 8125, processing is carried out on whether the value of the selection counter of the conventional image is 10. The main control circuit 50a determines, referring to the value of the selection counter of a conventional image, which is a variable that is to be stored in RAM 52, whether its value is equivalent to 10 or not. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing proceeds to step 8126, and when it is “No”, this routine ends, and the processing proceeds to step 8103 in FIG. 28.

Then, at 8126, initialization processing of the value of the normal image selection counter is performed. The main control circuit 50a sets to 0 (clears) the value of the normal image selection counter, which is a variable that is to be stored in RAM 52. When this processing is completed, this subroutine is completed and the processing is transferred to step 8103 of FIG. 28.

Bonus Game Processing Details

With reference to FIG. 31 and 32 describe the details of step 8116 in FIG. 29 handling premium games.

At 8131 in FIG. 31 perform demo selection processing of the bonus game. The main control circuit 50a controls the random number sampling circuit 56 (see FIG. 5) and extracts one random number value from the random number values generated by the random number generator 55 (see FIG. 5). Based on this random number value, the main control circuit 50a (see FIG. 5) further determines whether to perform a “telescope” demonstration, perform a “bird” demonstration, or perform a “dolphin (snake”) demonstration by accessing the demonstration probability lottery table the bonus game shown in FIG. 13. Meanwhile, in the case when the number of bets is not 5, this lottery is not performed, and the scheme determines the demonstration of the “telescope” without condition.

Then, at step 8132, transmission processing of the demonstration start command, which corresponds to the demonstration selected at step 8131, is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits to the subcontrol circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) the demonstration start command (the telescope start command, the demonstration start command “Bird”, the team started the demonstration “dolphin” or the team started the demonstration “snake” (see FIG. 25)), which corresponds to the demonstration determined in step 8131, and the sub-control circuit 171, having received this command demonstration, reads the data e demonstrations (see FIG. 25) that correspond to this demonstration command from the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6), and the sub-CPU 221 (see FIG. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75 to display the corresponding demonstration image on the main display 4. Meanwhile, in FIG. 69 shows a demonstration image that is displayed on the main display 4 based on the “find something” demonstration data (see FIG. 25) that correspond to the “telescope” demonstration start command. In addition, in FIG. 76 shows a demonstration image that is displayed on the main display 4 based on the “background becomes night and the bird appears” demonstration corresponding to the “bird” demonstration start command. In addition, in FIG. 44, a demonstration image is shown which is displayed on the main display 4 based on the dolphin appearance demonstration data in the vicinity of the left display window (see FIG. 25), which correspond to the dolphin demonstration command.

Then, at step 8133, stop processing for the drum 22b is performed. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 (see FIG. 5) to execute the processing of the drum 22b based on information regarding the appearing symbol for the drum 22b stored in the RAM 52 (see FIG. 5) in step 8106 of FIG. 28.

Then, at step 8134, processing for transmitting the fade effect command of the left display window is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits to the sub-control circuit 171 a command for the effect of disappearance of the left display window (command of disappearance of the left display window for “telescope”, command for the disappearance of the left display window for the “bird” demonstration, command 2 for the demonstration “dolphin” (see Fig. 25) ), which corresponds to the demonstration determined in step 8131, and the sub-control circuit 171 that received this demonstration command reads the demonstration data (see FIG. 25) that correspond to this demonstration command from the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6 ), and the sub-CPU 221 (see FIG. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75 to erase the left display window 23. Meanwhile, in FIG. 70 shows such an image that the character (spirit from llamas

- 22 008323 ps) “makes” the left display window 23 disappear on the main display 4, based on the data of the demonstration of the disappearance of the left display window for the “telescope”, which correspond to the disappearance command of the left display window for the “telescope”. In addition, in FIG. 77 shows such an image that the character (“spirit from the lamp”) erases the left display window 23 on the main display 4 based on the data of the disappearance of the left display window for the demonstration of “bird”, which correspond to the disappearance command of the left display window for the demonstration of “bird”.

Then, at step 8135, stop processing for the drum 22C is performed in accordance with the processing that is similar to that at step 8133.

Then, at step 8136, command transmission processing (for) the effect of the disappearing central display window is performed. Based on the disappearance command of the central display window for the “telescope”, the disappearance commands of the central display window for the bird effect and the dolphin effect commands (see FIG. 25) perform processing that is similar to that in step 8134. Meanwhile, in FIG. 45 shows an image in which the left display window 23 disappears on the main display 4 based on the “dolphin appearance” effects in the vicinity of the central display window and the disappearance of the central display window, which correspond to the dolphin effect command 3. In addition, in FIG. 70 shows such an image that the character (“spirit from the lamp”) erases the central display window 24 on the main display 4 based on the data of the disappearance effect of the left display window of the “bird” effect, which correspond to the command to demonstrate the disappearance of the left display window for the “bird”. Additionally, in FIG. 71 and 78 show images for a view in which the drum 22K rotates after the left display window and the central display window disappear on the main display 4.

Then, at step 8137, lottery processing is performed on whether the INSURANCE is performed for the drum 22K or not. The main control circuit 50a controls the random number sampling circuit 56 (see FIG. 5) and extracts one random number value from the random number values generated by the random number generator 55 (see FIG. 5). Based on this random number value, the main control circuit 50a additionally determines whether the INSURANCE is performed or not by referring to the probabilistic lottery table to determine the INSURANCE demonstration while selecting the bonus game initiation symbol. Meanwhile, in the case when the number of bets is not 5, it (the scheme) determines not to fulfill the INSULATION without a condition.

Then, at step 8138, a determination is made whether the EXIT is performed on the drum 22K or not. The main control circuit 50a makes a determination of whether the EXCITATION is performed for the drum 22K based on the determination result that was determined in step 8137. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to step 8139, and when it is “No”, processing is transferred to step 8148.

Then, at step 8139, the transmission processing of the demo command EXCITATION is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits a command for unsuccessful receipt of a bonus game (a command for the effect of failure to obtain a bonus game ΒΑΝΌΙΤ8 ГОГОЕО ΒΟΝυ8, a command for unsuccessful receipt of a bonus game полученияυΝΕ Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8, command 6 of the dolphin effect or the demonstration command “snake” (see FIG. 25) , which corresponds to the demonstration determined in step 8131, and the sub-control circuit 171 that receives this demonstration command reads the demonstration data (see FIG. 25) that correspond to this demonstration command from the sub-ROM 223 (see fi . 6) and the sub-CPU 221 (see. FIG. 6) controls the circuit 75 controlling an image display to display an image corresponding demonstration. Meanwhile, in FIG. 73, an image for notifying a player of a failure to receive a bonus game displayed on the main display 4 is shown based on data of a failure effect of receiving a bonus game ΒΑΝΏΙΤ'8 NUJEoT ΒΟΝυ8 that correspond to a team of a failure effect of receiving a bonus game ΒΑΝΏΙΤ8 NUJOET ΒΟNυ8. In addition, in FIG. 80 shows an image for notifying a player of a failure to receive a bonus game displayed on the main display 4 based on the game effect data of the failure to receive the bonus game ΕΟKΤυNΕ Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟNυ8 that correspond to the failure command of receiving the bonus game ΕΟKΤυNΕ Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟNυ8.

Then, at step 8140, stop processing is performed by moving the drum 22K by a predetermined number of frames. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 to move the drum 22K by a predetermined number of frames (for example, one frame (i.e., one symbol), but the present invention is not limited to this) based on information regarding the appearance of the symbol on the drum 22K stored in RAM 52 (see FIG. 5) at step 8106 of FIG. 28, and thereby, stop processing of the drum 22K is performed. As a result of this, the symbol that appears on the reel 22K becomes a symbol having a previous code number or a subsequent code number, relative to the symbol that corresponds to the code number stored in RAM 52 (see FIG. 5) at step 8106.

Then, at block 8141, the successful team effect transfer command processing for repeating the bonus game is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits to the sub-control circuit 171 a command to obtain a repetition of the bonus game (“bird arriving” command, “again

- 23 008323 arriving birds ", the dolphin effect command 7 or the snake effect command 7 (see Fig. 25)), which corresponds to the effect determined in step δ131, and the sub-control circuit 171 receiving this demonstration command reads the data the demos (see FIG. 25) that correspond to this demonstration command from the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6) and the sub-CPU 221 (see FIG. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75 to display the corresponding image of the demonstration. Meanwhile, in FIG. 74 shows an image for offering a player to receive a repetition of a bonus game displayed on the main display 4 based on data of an “incoming bird” effect that correspond to a command of the “incoming bird” effect. In addition, in FIG. 81 is an image for offering a player to receive a repetition of a bonus game displayed on the main display 4 based on data of the “newly arriving bird” effect, which correspond to the “newly arriving bird” command.

Then, at step δ142, processing is performed to re-rotate the drum 22K. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 (see FIG. 5) to start the drive of the stepper motor 68K, and thus, the rotation of the drum 22K is restarted.

Then, in step δ 143, latency processing is performed. The main control circuit 50a is put on hold for a predetermined length of time in order to maintain the rotation of the drum 22K started in step δ142.

Then, at step δ144, stop processing of the drum 22K is performed in accordance with the processing that is similar to that at step δ133 in FIG. 31. Thus, the bonus game initiation symbol 93 stops at the reel 22K.

Then, in step δ145, the processing of determining whether the demonstration is a subsequent dolphin gaming effect or a subsequent snake gaming effect is performed. The main control circuit 50a determines whether the demonstration that was determined in step δ191 is an effect of a successful dolphin game or an effect of a successful snake game or not. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to step δ146, and when it is “No”, the processing is transferred to step δ147. Meanwhile, in FIG. 47 is a view for displaying a demonstration in which the third stopped drum is reel 22K, and the effect of a successful game is the effect of a successful dolphin game, and which is displayed when it is determined to be “Yes” when determining at this step δ145.

Then, at step δ146, the processing of the premium game MACH LAMP ΒΟΝυδ is performed. The details of this processing are described for processing the premium game MACH LAMP δυδ in FIG. 36, 37, which is described below. When this processing is completed, the subroutine is completed, and the processing is transferred to step δ102 in FIG. 28.

On the one hand, in step δ147, transmission processing of the demonstration command receiving the bonus game ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΕ-ΆΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits to the sub-control circuit 171 a bonus game receiving command (a demonstration command of receiving ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ КЬAME ΒΟΝυδ (see FIG. 25)), which corresponds to a bird demonstration, and a sub-control circuit 171 that receives this demonstration command reads from under The ROM 223 (see FIG. 6) the demonstration data (see FIG. 25) that correspond to this demonstration command, and the sub-CPU 221 (see FIG. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75 to display the corresponding demonstration image . Meanwhile, in FIG. 75, 79 and 82 are images for notifying a player about receiving a bonus game displayed on the main display 4 based on the data of the bonus game receiving effect ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΓΛΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ that correspond to the command of the receiving effect of ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ КЬAME ΒΟΝυδ. In FIG. 75 shows an image for notification of receipt of ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΓΛΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ, which is changed from the “telescope” demonstration and received. In FIG. 79 shows an image for notifying the player of the receipt of ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΓΛΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ, which is obtained from the “bird” demonstration without the EXIT effect. In FIG. 82 shows an image for notifying a player about receiving the bonus game ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΝΕδΓΛΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ, which is obtained from the “bird” effect through the EXCITATION effect.

Then, at step δ148, transmission processing of the bonus game initiation command ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΓΛΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits a bonus game initiation command ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΓΛΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ to the sub-control circuit 171. The sub-control circuit 171 that receives this bonus game initiation command ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΓΛΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ performs processing for receiving the bonus game initiation command ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΓΛΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ according to FIG. 33, which is described below.

Then, in step δ149, reception processing of the completion command of the bonus game ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΓΛΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ is performed. The main control circuit 50a receives the termination command ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΙδΕΛΝΩ ΒΟΝυδ, which is transmitted to st of the sub-control circuit 171. The main control circuit 50a, which receives this termination command ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ ΒΟΝυδ, completes the subroutine, and the processing proceeds to step δ102 in the main flowchart of FIG. 28.

On the one hand, in step δ150, a determination is made whether the effect of the bonus game is a telescope effect or not. The main control circuit 50a determines whether

- 24 008323 whether the effect of the bonus game, which was determined at step 8131, a demonstration of the "telescope" or not. When the determination result is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to step 8149. and when it is “No”, the processing is transferred to step 8143.

Then, at step 8151, stop processing of the drum 22Κ is performed by processing that is similar to that at step 8133 of FIG. 31. Thus, the bonus trigger symbol 93 stops at the reel 22Κ.

Then, at step 8152, the command transfer processing of the bonus game effect effect ΒΑΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝυ8 is performed. Perform processing that is similar to that at step 8147, except that it is based on the command of the effect of obtaining ΒΆΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝΏ8 (see Fig. 25A-B). Meanwhile, in FIG. 72 shows an image for notifying a player about receiving a bonus game displayed on the main display 4 based on the data of the receiving effect ΒΆΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝυ8 that correspond to the command of the receiving effect ΒΆΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝΏ8.

Then, at step 8153, transmission processing of the bonus game initiation command ΒΆΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝΏ8 is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits a bonus game initiation command ΒΆΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝΏ8 to the sub-control circuit 171. A sub-control circuit 171 that receives this bonus game initiation command ΒΆΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝυ8 performs processing for receiving the bonus game initiation command ΒΆΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝΏ8 in FIG. 34, which is described below.

Then, at step 8154, reception completion processing processing of ΒΆΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝΏ8 is performed. The main control circuit 50a receives the termination command ΒΆΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝΏ8, which is transmitted from the sub-control circuit 171. The main control circuit 50a, which receives this termination command ΒΆΝΏΙΤ'8 ΗΙΏΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝΏ8, completes this subroutine, and the processing proceeds to step 8102 in the main flowchart of FIG. 28.

Bonus game initiation team reception processing details

ΕΟΚΤϋΝΕ Ι8Ι.ΑΝΙ) ΒΟΝϋδ

In FIG. 33 shows a bonus game processing step 8146 of FIG. 31, the processing on which should be performed by the sub-control circuit 171 in the case where the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) receives the initiation command of the bonus game ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ Ι8ϋΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8, which is transmitted from the main control circuit 50a (see FIG. 5). This treatment is the processing of the bonus game ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ Ι8ϋΑΝΏ ΒΟΝΏ8.

Bonus ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ Ι8ϋΑΝΏ ΒΟΝΏ8 is a premium game that can simulate the game 8υ6ΟΚΟΚυ. The game board 8υθυ is displayed on the subdisplay 3, and the main character performs his way along the blocks of the board 8υθΟΚΟΚυ and thus the game is played. The player selects one of the three dice that are displayed on the main display 4, and his “bone” performs a variable display, and the number of blocks to which the main character moves on the 8υθΟΚΟΚυ board is determined by the number of dots on the dice displayed at the end. The number of points that are finally displayed on the dice is determined in accordance with the probabilistic lottery, which may differ for the three dice, respectively, after the mutable display is started. The front surface of the dice is not shown to the player at the beginning, but is adjusted in such a way that the player selects one of the three dice arbitrarily, and the selected bone performs a variable display, and when the variable display has stopped completely, points are shown on the bone. Meanwhile, an indication of bone selection is performed by means of a touch panel system. The player touches the image of an arbitrary bone, and thus the touch panel 30 detects this touch in order to transmit a determination signal to the touch panel control circuit 76 (see FIG. 6), and thus the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) recognizes that the player touched the display with the image. Meanwhile, the control of the bone and its points that are displayed on the main display 4 is a matter of a variable arbitrary circuit solution, and it can be performed by any system if it is a system for displaying to the player the number of points on the bone, which is determined in advance randomly by combining the liquid crystal display device and the touch panel, taking as a signal the start of acceptance of the operation by the player. A display 501 on the bottom of FIG. 91B is a depiction of the above dice game.

In addition, in the игреυΝΕ Ι8ϋΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8 premium game, the main character starts the game with five resource points. Resource points increase or decrease in accordance with the way the character goes through the blocks of the board 8υθ доскиυ and goes through various events. Then, when the game of the entire bonus game ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ Ι8ϋΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8 ends at the end point, if the number of resource points is not 0, the player can receive the BIG WINNING as a special payout. If the resource points become 0 before the main character reaches the end point on the 8υ6ΟΚΟΚυ board, the ΕΟΚΤυΝΕ Ι8ϋΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8 bonus game ends when the resource points become 0.

Further, a similar system in which the player enters any input operation on the main display 4 is a system with a touch panel on which the image display is selected and touched, while the touch panel 30 recognizes this touch, and a determination signal is transmitted to the circuit

- 25 008323 mu 76 control the touch panel, and thus the sub-control circuit 171 recognizes that the player has touched the display image.

At step 8153, initial image display processing is performed. The sub-control circuit 171 reads the command of the effect of initiating the bonus game EOBTIE Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8 from the table of effects of the bonus game EOBTIE ИЕ8ΕΑΝΌ ΒΟΝυ8 (see Fig. 27), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see Fig. 6), and transfers it to the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this effect command, reads out the effect data that corresponds to the EOBTEHE Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8 premium game effect command by referring to the EOBIETE Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8 effect data table to display the corresponding game effect on the main display 4. On FIG. 90 shows an image of its initial image. Meanwhile, the PALACE, DENSE JUNGLE, SECRET CAVE and the ROCK SITE display on the sub-display 3 initial images, and this means that the player selects any route from DENSE JUNGLE, the SECRET CAVE and the ROCK PART. Regarding route selection in the display on the main display at the bottom of FIG. 90, the player touches any of the visual displays 500 that are displayed as JUNGLE, CAVE, and ROCK, and thereby 8iOOVOki boards that correspond to respective routes are selected and displayed. According to the choice of any of them, the sub-control circuit 171 reads out the map image command (DENSE JUNGLE map image command, SECRET CAVE map image command, ROCK SITE map image command) from the EXOTECHE Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟNυ8 premium game demonstration data table (see Fig. 27), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6), and transfers it to the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this effect command, reads out the effect data that corresponds to the command of the effect of initiating the bonus game EOBTIE Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟNυ8 , from by referring to the EOTI ОВ8ΕΑΝΌ ΒΟNυ8 effect data table to display the corresponding game effect on the main display 4. In FIG. 91 shows such an image in which the ROCKY PLACE is selected by the player and his 8 & OVOKi board is displayed.

In addition, there are six blocks from the starting point to the PALACE, which is the target point, in Board 8 and OVOKI for the Rocky Section. They are TBEA8iVE ΒΟX (treasure chest), Wax (rock), ΒΙΟ 8ΝΑΚΕ (big snake), TVEL8EVE ΒΟX, TVEL8EVE ΒΟX and ΒΙΟ 8RGOEV (big spider) from the side that is close to the starting point. Various events occur in the respective blocks, but their details will be described in the explanation of step 8162.

Then, at 8154, dice selection selection processing is performed. The player touches an arbitrary of the three dice images displayed on the main display 4, and the touch panel 30 detects this, and a determination signal is transmitted to the touch panel control circuit 76, and thereby the sub-control circuit 171 recognizes that the player has touched the display.

Then, at step 8155, dice lottery processing is performed. The sub-control circuit 171 selects one random number value in accordance with the program control, and based on this random number value, the final point on the bone is determined by referring to the probability lottery table (not shown in the drawing) for points on the bone that correspond to the image of the bone, which touched and chose the player. Then, the sub-control circuit 171 controls the image display control circuit 75 to start the variable display of the bone image, and after a while this variable display is stopped. When the variable display is stopped, the points on the dice do not finally display to the player at this stage, and after this variable display of the bone image is performed, and the first time the points on the bone are finally displayed to the player when the variable display is stopped.

Then, at step 8156, processing is performed in which the main character, which is displayed on the sub-display 3, goes to the blocks of the 8 & OWOKI board according to the number of dots on the bone, which is finally determined at step 8155. The sub-control circuit 177 controls the image display control circuit 74 based on the number points on the bone, which is determined at step 8155, in order to perform the transition of the main character, which is displayed on the subdisplay 3, to the blocks of the 8isOVOKI board.

Then, at step 8157, processing is performed to determine whether the main character reaches the endpoint. The sub-control circuit 171 determines whether the main symbol of the PALACE, which is the target of the 8 & OIWA, reaches. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to step 8158, and when it is “No”, the processing is transferred to step 8162.

Then, at 8158, event generation processing at the endpoint is performed. The sub-control circuit 171 controls the image display control circuit 74 so that the main character that is displayed on the sub-display 3 fights the DEMON, which is the host of the PALACE. The sub-control circuit 171 reads the PALACE game effect game command from the EOWTEHE Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟNυ8 demonstration data table, which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6), and transfers it to the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demonstration command, reads the demonstration data corresponding to the PALACE game effect command, by accessing the demon data table

- 26 008323 strata of the bonus game ΕΟΡΤυΝΕ Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8 to display the corresponding game effect on the main display 4. In FIG. 103 shows an image of the struggle of the main character and the DEMON on the sub-display 3. In FIG. 104 shows a visual display that is displayed on the main display 4 simultaneously with the image in FIG. 103 to indicate that the main character has chosen the target of the attack from DEMON. This selection is made through the touch panel system, and the attack target is selected from four attack targets (visual displays 502) from HEAD, BODY, HAND, and LEG. When any of the visual displays 502 is selected, the sub-control circuit 171 selects one random number value in accordance with the program control, and based on this random number value, the success and failure of the attack is determined by referring to the probability lottery table (not shown in the drawing) to determine the success and failure of the attack, corresponding to the goal of the attack that the player touched and selected. Meanwhile, the main character and DEMON repeat the attacks in turn, and when the attack is successful, the resource points (five “heart” marks shown in Fig. 103) of the other side (the enemy) are reduced by one. The side that brings the resource points of the other side to 0 is the winner in the palace battle. In FIG. 105, an image of the visual display is shown which is displayed on the sub-display 3 when the main character brought the DEMON resource points to 0 and thus wins the palace battle. In FIG. 106, an image of the visual display is shown which is displayed on the sub display 3 when the resource points of the main character become 0, and thus the main character lost the palace battle. In this regard, however, there is a reverse effect, as shown in FIG. 107, if a player wins a predetermined lottery in the sub-control scheme 171, even if the main character is beaten by DEMON, a “bird” appears to save the main character, and resource points of the main character are restored using only one, and thus it is possible to carry out the battle with DEMON again. All the images shown above are stored in the demo data table of the bonus game ΕΟΡΤυΝΕ ΝΕ8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8 as predetermined data.

Then, at step 8159, processing is performed to determine whether the main character wins the event at the end point or not. In the processing according to step 8158, the sub-control circuit 171 determines whether the main character has won. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing proceeds to step 8160, and when it is “No”, the processing proceeds to step 8161.

Then, at step 8160, the BIG WINNING payout processing is performed. The sub-control circuit 171 transmits a BIG WINNING payout request signal to the main control circuit 50a. The main control circuit 50a that receives this signal transmits a BIG WINNING payout request signal to the progressive game unit 83 via the progressive game interface 81 Ι / Ε. The progressive game unit 83, which receives the BIG WINNING payout request signal, transmits a signal to the main control circuit 50a to provide a predetermined progressive game value to the player as the BIG WINNING payout. The main control circuit 50a, which receives the signal to provide the player as a BIG WINNING payout, adds the number of coins corresponding to this BIG WINNING payout to the credit value of the gaming machine 1 with spinning reels (the number of coins that are placed in the gaming machine 1 with spinning reels).

Then, at step 8161, transmission processing of the completion command of TREASURE ISLAND (ΕΟΡΤυΝΕ Ι8ΕΑΝΏ) to the main control circuit 50a is performed. The sub-control circuit 171 transmits the bonus game completion command ΕΟΡΤυΝΕ Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8 to the main control circuit 50a. In addition, the display of the subdisplay 3 is restored to the payout display. When this processing is completed, this program is completed.

On the one hand, at block 8162, event generation processing is performed in each block at which the main character is stopped. As described above, for example, when the ROCKY PLOT is selected as the route leading to the PALACE, there are six blocks from the starting point to the PALACE, which is the target point. They are ΤВΕΑ8υВΕ ΒΟΧ, WAX, ΒΙ6 8ΝΑΚΕ, ΤΡΕ ^ ΕΡΕ ΒΟΧ, ΤВΕΑ8υВΕ ΒΟΧ, and ΒΙ6 8ΡΙΝΕΡ from the side that is close to the starting point.

When the main character stopped at the ΤВΕΑ8υВΕ блок block, the sub-control circuit 171 reads the game effect command for the “treasure chest” from the таблицыВΤυNΕ Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟΝυ8 premium game demonstration data table (see FIG. 27), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 5), and transfers it to the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demo command, reads the demonstration data corresponding to the demo initiation demonstration command ΕΟВΤυNΕ преми8ΕΑΝΏ командеυ8 by referring to the bonus game demo data table ΕΟВΤυNΕ Ι8ΕΑΝ ΒΟΝυ8, to display a corresponding game effect on the main display 4. When the main character stops at ΤVΕΑ8υVΕ ΒΟΧ block resource points of the main character is increased by only one.

When the main character stops at block ΡΟί, 'блок. the sub-control circuit 171 reads the game effect command {^ ΟΩΚ »from the bonus game demonstration data table ΕΟВΤυNΕ

- 27 008323

LBAAO ΒΟΝϋδ (see FIG. 27), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6), and transfers it to the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demonstration command, reads the demonstration data, corresponding to the bonus game initiation demonstration team ΕΟΚΤϋΝΕ LBAAO ΒΟΝϋδ by referring to the bonus game demonstration data table ΕΟΚΤϋΝΕ LBAAO ΒΟΝϋδ to display the corresponding game effect on the sub-display 3. In FIG. 98 shows an image of the corresponding game effect, which is displayed on the sub-display 3. In case the main character could stop ΚΟΟΚ, the resource points of the main character are not reduced (see Fig. 99). However, if the main character could not stop ΚΟΟΚ, the resource points of the main character are reduced by one (see Fig. 100). In this regard, however, there is a case such as in FIG. 101, when МΟNΚΕΥ (monkey) appears, which is a sub-character of the main character, and saves the main character, and prevents the reduction of resource points of the main character (see Fig. 102). Whether МΟNΚΕΥ appears or does not appear is determined based on the value of the random number, which is selected in accordance with the program control in the sub-control circuit 171, and by reference to a predetermined probability lottery table (not shown in the drawing).

When the main character stops at the block ΒΙΟ δPI ^ ΕΚ, the sub-control circuit 171 reads the game effect command “ΒΙΟ δΕΙΌΕΚ” from the effect data table ΕΟΚΤϋΝΕ ЛААА ΒΟΝϋδ (see Fig. 27), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see Fig. 6 ), and transfers it to the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demo command, reads the demo data corresponding to the bonus game initiation effect command ΕΟΚΤϋΝΕ LIAAO ΒΟΝϋδ by accessing the effect data table ΕΟΚΤϋΝΕ LBAAO ΒΟΝϋδ to display corresponding game effect on the sub-display 3. In FIG. 92 shows the image of the corresponding game effect, which is displayed on the subdisplay 3. In case the main character wins the battle with с δPIΌΕΚ, the resource points of the main character are not reduced (see Fig. 93). However, if the main character could not win the battle with ΒΙΟ δΕΙΟΕΚ. resource points of the main character are reduced by one (see Fig. 94). In this regard, however, there are cases as in FIG. 95, when МΟNΚΕΥ appears, which is a sub-character of the main character, and fights with ΒΙΟ δΕΙΌΕΚ instead of the main character (see Fig. 96), and wins the battle to prevent the reduction of resource points of the main character (see Fig. 97). МΟNΚΕΥ appears or does not appear, is determined based on the random number value, which is selected in accordance with the program control in the sub-control circuit 171, and by reference to a predetermined probability lottery table (not shown in the drawing).

When the main character stops at the block ΒΙΟ δΝΆΚΕ, the sub-control circuit 171 reads the game effect command ΒΙΟ δNΛΚΕ from the effect data table ΕΟΚΤϋΝΕ LBAAO ΒΟΝϋδ (see Fig. 27), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see Fig. 6), and transmits it on the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demo command, reads the demo data corresponding to the bonus game initiation effect command ΕΟΚΤϋΝΕ LBAAO ΒΟΝϋδ by referring to the demo data table ΕΟΚΤϋΝΕ LBAAO ΒΟΝϋδ to display the corresponding game effect 3. in sub-factor increase and decrease resource points, when the main character stopped at ΒΙΟ δNΛΚΕ block, similar to when the main character stopped at ΒΙΟ δΕ ^ Ε ^ block.

Then, in step δ163, it is determined whether the resource points of the main character are 0 or not. The sub-control circuit 171 determines whether the resource points of the main character are equal to 0. When the determination result is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to step δ161, and when it is “No”, the processing is transferred to step δ154.

Bonus Game Initiation Reception Processing Details ΒΛΝϋΙΤ'δ ΗΙϋΕΟϋΤ ΒΟΝϋδ

In FIG. 34 shows a bonus game processing step δ 151 in FIG. 31, which is the processing to be performed by the sub-control circuit 171 when the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) receives a command to initiate a bonus game ΗΙΌΕΟϋΤ ΒΟΝϋ δ that is transmitted from the main control circuit 50a (see FIG. 5). This processing is the processing of the premium game ΗΙΌΕΟϋΤ ΒΟΝϋδ.

At step δ 171, the initial image display processing is performed. The sub-control circuit 171 reads the RAAON ΗΙΌΕΟϋΤ ΒΟΝϋδ bonus game initiation effect command from the RAAON ΗΙΌΕΟϋΤ ΒΟΝϋδ effects table (see FIG. 26), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6), and transfers it to the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demo command, reads the demo data corresponding to the RAAOP demo command ^ ΗΙΌΕΟϋΤ ΒΟΝϋδ by referring to the RAAOP demo data table ^ ΗΙΌΕΟϋΤ ΒΟΝϋδ to display the corresponding game effect on the sub display 3 and the main display 4. On FIG. 83 shows an image of its initial image. Meanwhile, ΤΚΕΛδϋΚΕ ΒΟΧ is displayed on the sub display 3 together with the initial image and the set ΤΚΕΛδϋΚΕ ΒΟΧΕδ (treasure chests) shown on the display device of the main display 4 at the bottom of FIG. 83. The player selects any item from ΤΚΕΛδϋΚΕ ΒΟΧΕδ, and thus the bonus game continues. The contents of ΤΚΕΛδΤΚΕ ΒΟΧ are of three types - ΤΚΕΛδϋΚΕ (treasure), Εϋί’ΚΥ IΤΕМ (lucky chance), and δΚϋϋϋ

- 28 008323 (skull) and the determination of the contents of the TBABEE BOX is performed in advance during processing for which the initial image is displayed by selecting one random number value in accordance with the program control of the sub-control circuit 171, based on this random number value, using a link to advance preset probability lottery table (not shown in the drawing).

Then, at step δ172, the selection acceptance processing of the ΤBΕAδυBX BOX is performed. The player touches an arbitrary element from the set of “ВΕАδυВΕ ВОХЕ8” that are displayed on the main display 4, and the touch panel 30 determines it and the determination signal is transmitted to the touch panel control circuit 76, and thereby the sub-control circuit 171 recognizes that the player has touched the display.

Then, at step δ 173, display processing of such a game effect is performed that on the subdisplay 3 “open the selected treasure chest”. The sub-control circuit 171 reads the “opening the treasure chest” demonstration command from the demonstration data table VABVGT'B NSHEOIT BOΝδδ (see Fig. 26), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see Fig. 6), and transfers it to the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demo command, reads the demo data corresponding to the “open the treasure chest” demo command by referring to the bonus game effect data table WABO ^ 'B NEW ΒΟNυδ to display the corresponding game effect on the sub display 3. In FIG. 84 shows an image of this game effect.

Then, in step δ174, a determination is made whether the contents of the “treasure chest” are “skull”. The sub-control circuit 171 determines whether the contents of the “treasure chest” are “skull”. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to step 8175, and when it is “No”, the processing is transferred to step δ178.

Then, at step 8175, display processing on the sub display 3 of the game effect for the “skull” is performed. The sub-control circuit 171 reads the “skull appearance” demonstration command from the VABESHB NEWEST ΒΟNυδ premium game demonstration data table (see FIG. 26), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6), and transfers it to the sub-CPU 221 , and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demonstration command, reads the demonstration data corresponding to the “skull appearance” demonstration command by referring to the effect data table VABVGT'B NUJOUΒΟNυδ to display the corresponding game effect on the sub-display 3. In FIG. 88 shows an image of this game effect.

Then, at step δ176, the display of the game effect “main character who runs away in a crazy rush” is performed. The sub-control circuit 171 reads the demonstration command of the main character who runs away from the “skull” from the data table of the demonstration of the bonus game VAMBGBGB NUYOYT VOBSh (see Fig. 26), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see Fig. 6), and transfers it on the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demonstration command, reads the demonstration data corresponding to the demonstration command of the main character who is escaping from the “skull” by accessing the demo data table WABE1T'8 NUMEROUS BOB to display matching game effect t on subdisplay 3. FIG. 89 shows an image of this game effect.

Then, at step 8177, transmission processing of the completion command BABO1T'8 NUJO BOB is performed on the main control circuit 50a. The sub-control circuit 171 transmits the WABE1T'8 BEWAW bonus game completion command to the main control circuit 50a. In addition, the display of the subdisplay 3 is restored to the payout display. When this processing is completed, this program is completed.

On the one hand, in step 8178, the sub-display of the game effect for the “treasure” or “happy event” is processed, and the points received, etc. are displayed. in the effect of the game "treasure chest" displayed on the main display. The sub-control circuit 171 reads the “Treasure Appearance” effect command or “Lucky Occasion Appearance” command from the table of effects data of the bonus game VABESHB NOGOOYT VOBIB (see Fig. 26), which is stored in the sub-ROM 223 (see Fig. 6), and transfers it on the sub-CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demo command, reads the demo data corresponding to the “treasure appearance” effect command or the “happy chance occurrence” command, respectively, with respect to the table of effects data of the bonus game VABO1T'8 NEVER EXPLODED, so that tobrazit corresponding game effect on the subdisplay 3. FIG. 85 and 86 show images of these game effects. In this case, for example, in the event that fifty coins could be obtained, to identify the “treasure chest” from which fifty coins appear on the main display screen at the bottom of FIG. 85B display 50 is added to this “treasure chest”. Also, when receiving a “happy chance” (an element that doubles the number of coins a player has, giving out a loan at that moment in time, etc.), in the same way, to identify the “treasure chest” from which the “happy chance” arises The display of the “happy event” image is added to this “treasure chest”.

Then, in step δ179, processing is performed to display on the sub-display a game effect for the main character who receives the treasure of the “happy occasion” and feels pleasure. The sub-control circuit 171 reads the command of the effect of the main character “treasure” or command

- 29 008323 and the main character’s effect “happy chance” from the data table of the bonus game ΒΑΝΌΙΤ'§ NGOEOIT ΒΟΝυ§ (see Fig. 26), which is stored in sub-ROM 223 (see Fig. 6), and transfers it to The CPU 221, and the sub-CPU 221, which receives this demo command, reads the demo data corresponding to the main character's effect team “treasure” or the main character’s happy character effect command, respectively, by accessing the effect data table ΒΑΝΏΙΤ'§ ΗΙΌΕΟυΤ ΒΟΝυ§ to display the corresponding game effect on and subdisplay 3. In FIG. 87 shows an image of this game effect.

Then, at step §180, the processing of adding points is performed. The sub-control scheme 171 adds the coins that were obtained in step §178 to the loan amount.

Then, in step §181, a determination is made whether a predetermined number of “treasure chests” is selected. The sub-control circuit 171 determines whether a player has selected a predetermined number of “treasure chests”. When the result of the determination is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to step §177, and when it is “No”, the processing is transferred to step §172.

Details of the demo that corresponds to processing the winning combination and stopping the reel

With reference to FIG. 35 describes the details of a demonstration that corresponds to the winning combination and reel stop processing that is performed in step §112 of FIG. 29. Meanwhile, in this processing, the winning combination is different from the bonus game and the loss.

In step §191, probabilistic lottery processing is performed to demonstrate that corresponds to a winning combination. The main control circuit 50a (see FIG. 5) controls the random number sampling circuit 56 (see FIG. 5) and extracts one random number value from the random number values generated by the random number generator 55 (see FIG. 5). Based on this random number value, the main control circuit 50a additionally determines the effect of a successful game (effect of a successful game “dolphin” (snake), effect of a successful game “seagull” (buzzard), effect of a successful game “monkey”) which corresponds to each winning combination ( ASHI, ΒΕΌ7, 3ΒΑΒ, 2ΒΑΒ, ΒΑΒ, ΑΝΎΒΑΚ), by accessing the probabilistic lottery table to select the effect corresponding to the winning combination (except for a bonus game or a loss) (see Fig. 15), which is stored in ROM 51 (see Fig. 5).

Then, in step §192, the transmission command of the demonstration of the first stopped drum is executed. The main control circuit 50a (see FIG. 5) transmits a demonstration command for the drum that stops first, in accordance with the subsequent game effect, which is determined in step §191 and the stop order, which is determined by processing the determination of the stop order of the drum in step §109 in FIG. 29. That is, the main control circuit 50a transmits to the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) a success command (any of teams 1-3 of the “gull” demonstration, teams 13 of the “buzzard” demonstration, and teams 1-3 of the “monkey” demonstration (see FIG. 21)), which corresponds to the demonstration determined in step §191 and the stop order determined by processing the determination of the stop order of the drum in step §109 in FIG. 29, and the sub-control circuit 171 that receives this demo command reads the demo data (see FIG. 21) corresponding to this demo command from the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6) and the sub-CPU 221 (see FIG. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75 to perform the corresponding effect. In FIG. 49 and 50 show images for displaying the effect when the first stopped reel is reel 22b, and the subsequent gaming effect is the effect of a successful seagull game. In FIG. 55 is an image for demonstrating a display when the first stopped reel is reel 22b and the subsequent gaming effect is the effect of a successful monkey game.

Then, at §193, the expiration wait processing is performed. The main control circuit 50a is put on hold for a predetermined period of time, and waits in the ready state for the completion of the demonstration, the execution of which was issued in step 192.

Then, at §194, processing for the first stopped drum is performed. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 (see FIG. 5) to perform stop processing of the first stopped drum based on information regarding the appearance of the symbol of the first stopped drum stored in the RAM 52 (see FIG. 5) in step 106 of FIG. 28.

Then, at step195, processing is performed to transmit the stop effect command of the second drum. The main control circuit 50a transmits an effect command for the reel that stops second, in accordance with the subsequent game effect, which is determined in step 191, and the stop order, which is determined by processing the determination of the stop order of the reel in step 109, of FIG. 29. This treatment is almost similar to that at §192. In FIG. 51 is an image for demonstrating a display when the second stopped reel is reel 22C and the subsequent gaming effect is the effect of a successful seagull game. In FIG. 56 is an image for showing a display when the second stopped reel is reel 22C and the subsequent gaming effect is the effect of a successful monkey game.

Then, at step196, processing is performed that is similar to that at step193, and the main circuit

- 30 008323 control ma 50a waits in a ready state for completion of the demonstration, the execution of which was issued a command at step δ195.

Then, at step δ197, stop processing of the second drum is performed. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 to perform stop processing for stopping the second drum based on information regarding the occurrence of the stop symbol of the second drum stored in RAM 52 in step δ106 of FIG. 28.

Then, in step δ198, the third-drum stop command is transmitted. This processing is almost similar to that in step δ192. In FIG. 46 is an image for displaying an effect when the third stopped reel is reel 22B and the subsequent gaming effect is the effect of a successful dolphin game. In FIG. 52-53 are images for display demonstration when the third reel stopped is reel 22B and the subsequent game effect is the effect of a successful gull game. In FIG. 57-58 are images for display demonstration when the third reel stopped is reel 22B and the subsequent game effect is the effect of a successful monkey game.

Then, in step δ199, processing is performed that is similar to that in step δ193, and the main control circuit 50a waits in a ready state for the completion of the demonstration, the execution of which is issued in step δ198.

Then, at step δ200, stop processing of the third drum is performed. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 to perform stop processing of the third stopped drum based on stored in RAM 52 in step δ106 in FIG. 28 information regarding the stop symbol for stopping the third reel.

Then, at step δ201, payout processing is performed that corresponds to the winning combination. The main control circuit 50a performs payment of a payout corresponding to the winning combination determined in step δ110 in FIG. 29, in accordance with the information on the payout amount for the winnings from the winning combination determination table (see FIG. 10) stored in the ROM 51 (see FIG. 5) and the bet amount.

The main control circuit 50a transmits the drive command to the coin control circuit 70 (see FIG. 5), and the coin collector control circuit 70 (see FIG. 5), which receives this drive command, controls the coin collector 71 (see FIG. 5), to make a payout of coins. At this time, the coin determination section 73 (see FIG. 5) calculates the number of paid coins, and when it is determined that the quantity has reached the predetermined amount, transmits a payout signal to the payout completion signal circuit 72 (see FIG. 5). The payout completion signal circuit 72, which receives the payout completion signal, issues a request to the main control circuit 50a that the coin collector control circuit 70 sends a signal to stop the drive of the coin collector 71. When this processing is completed, this subroutine is completed and the processing proceeds to step δ102 in FIG. . 28.

As indicated above, by performing the processing of step δ192, step δ195, and step δ198, it is possible to visually interconnect the stop of the variable reel display and the game effect, which is displayed on the main display 4.

In particular, when the effect of the successful game is the effect of the successful game “seagull” (or the effect of the successful game “buzzard”), the “seagull” remains in the region of the display windows 23, 24, 25 of the reels 22b, 22C, 22B, and thus it is possible to notify player that it is highly likely that there is a predetermined winning combination. In addition, this means that it is possible for a player to execute a game with a sense of expectation.

In addition, when the effect of the successful game is the effect of the successful game “monkey”, by demonstrating that the “monkey” hangs from the display windows 23 of the reels 22b, 22C, 22B, and the “monkey” sequentially moves to the display window, on which it hangs, in accordance with the stopping order of the reels 22b, 22C, 22B, it is possible to notify the player of the drum, which stops next.

Details of the processing of the premium game MAC1C LAMP ΒΟΝϋ8

With reference to FIG. 36-37, details of the processing of the bonus game ΜΑΟΙΟ ΕΑΜΡ ΒΟΝυδ that are performed in step δ203 in FIG. 35. This processing is the processing that is performed in the main control circuit 50a (see FIG. 5). Meanwhile, the игра ΕΑΜΡ ΒΟΝυδ bonus game is the so-called free (without restrictions) game, and this is such a game in which it is not necessary for the player to place a bet (put coins as a bet). As a bet in the игре ΕΑΜΡ ΒΟΝυδ bonus game, the bet in the main game, which is replaced by the ΜΑΟΙΟ ΕΑΜΡ ΒΟΝυδ bonus game, is used “as is”. For example, when the bet in the main game, which is replaced by the bonus game ΜΑΟΙΟ ΕΑΜΡ ΒΟΝυδ is 3, while the bonus game ΜΑΟΙΟ ΕΑΜΡ ΒΟΝυδ continues, the game ΜΑΟΙΟ ΕΑΜΡ ΒΟΝυδ is started with a bet of 3.

At step δ211, processing for transmitting a payout display change command is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits the payout display change command to the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6), and the sub-control circuit 171 that receives this command executes the reception processing of the payout display change command according to FIG. 38, which is described below. On

Then, at step 8223, lottery processing is performed on whether the EXIT is performed to stop the third reel or not. The main control circuit 50a controls the random number sampling circuit 56, and extracts one random number value from the random number values that the random number generator 55 generates. Based on this random number value, the main control circuit 50a further determines whether the EXCITATION is performed by referring to a predetermined probability lottery table (not shown in the drawing).

Then, at block 8224, third-drum stop-demonstration command transmission processing is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits a demonstration command for the drum that is stopped by the third one according to the stop order that was determined by determining the stop order of the reels in step 8216. In the same manner as in step 8195, the corresponding demonstration command is transmitted from the main circuit 50a control to the sub-control circuit 171, and based on this demonstration command, a corresponding demonstration is executed in the sub-control circuit 171. For example, if the third-stopping drum is drum 22C, then the main control circuit 50a transmits the MAC1C demo command 3 (see FIG. 23) to the sub-control circuit 171, and the sub-control circuit 171 that has received this demonstration command reads the data demonstrations (see FIG. 23) corresponding to this demonstration command, and the sub-CPU 221 controls the image display control circuit 75 to perform the corresponding demonstration.

When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing proceeds to step 8228, and when it is “No”, the processing proceeds to step 8234.

Then, at 8228, stop processing is performed by moving the third stopped drum by a predetermined number of frames. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 to move the stop of the third reel by a predetermined number of frames (for example, one frame (i.e., one character), but the present invention is not limited to this) based on information regarding the stop symbol for the third stop a drum stored in RAM 52 (see FIG. 5) at 8215 in FIG. 36, and thus, stop processing for the third stopped drum is performed. As a result of this, the stop symbol for the third stopped drum becomes a symbol having a previous code number or a subsequent code number, relative to a symbol that corresponds to a code number stored in RAM 52 (see FIG. 5) at 8215.

Then, at step 8229, the transmission of the demonstration command transmission is performed.

- 33 008323 of the third stopped drum.

The main control circuit 50a transfers to the sub-control circuit 171 of the “spirit exit lamp” demonstration command 1-3, according to which one of the reels 22b, 22C, 22K is the third stopped drum, and the sub-control circuit 171 that receives this demonstration command reads from the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6), the demonstration data (see FIG. 23) corresponding to this demonstration command, and the sub-CPU 221 (see FIG. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75 to display the corresponding image demonstrations.

Then, at step δ230, timeout processing is performed. The main control circuit 50a is put on hold for a predetermined period of time and is awaited in the ready state for completion of the demonstration, the execution of which is issued at step δ229.

Then, in step δ231, the rotation starting processing of the third stopped drum is performed. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 (see FIG. 5) to start the drive of any of the stepper motors 68b, 68c, 68k, which corresponds to any of the third reels 22b, 22c, 22k being stopped, and thus rotation the third stopped drum is reactivated.

Then, in step δ232, stop processing of the third stopped drum is performed. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 to perform stop processing of the third stopped drum, and the joker symbol 91 (see FIG. 4) is certainly moved to stop regardless of information about the stop symbol for the third stopped drum stored in RAM 52 (see FIG. 5) in step δ215 in FIG. 36. Thus, the final winning combination becomes 1 \ νΙΕΏ.

Then, in step δ233, transmission processing of the completion demonstration command EXECUTION is performed. The main control circuit 50a transfers to the sub-control circuit 171 an ACK command of the completion effect, and the sub-control circuit 171 that receives this demonstration command reads from the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6) the demonstration data (see FIG. 23) corresponding to this the demonstration command, and the sub-CPU 221 (see FIG. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75 to display the corresponding demonstration image.

The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 to perform stop processing of the third stop drum based on the information of the appearing symbol of the third stop drum stored in the RAM 52 in step δ215.

Then, in step δ235, the transmission processing of the winning game effect command is executed. The main control circuit 50a transmits a winning game effect command to the sub-control circuit 171, and the sub-control circuit 171 that receives this demo command reads out the demo data (see FIG. 6) from the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 23) corresponding to this the demonstration command, and the sub-CPU 221 (see FIG. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75 to display the corresponding demonstration image. Meanwhile, in FIG. 62 is an image that is displayed on the main display 4 in accordance with the demonstration data corresponding to the game effect team of a successful win.

Then, in step δ236, payout processing corresponding to the winning combination is performed. The main control circuit 50a performs payment of a payout corresponding to the winning combination determined in step δ215 in FIG. 36, in accordance with the information on the payout amount for the winnings from the winning combination determination table (see FIG. 10) stored in the ROM 51 (see FIG. 5) and the bet amount. The main control circuit 50a transmits the drive command to the coin collector control circuit 70 (see FIG. 5), and the coin collector control circuit 70 (see FIG. 5), which receives this drive command, controls the coin collector 71 (see FIG. 5), to make a payout of coins. At this time, the coin determination section 73 (see FIG. 5) calculates the number of coins paid out and when it determines that the number of coins reaches a predetermined amount, it transmits a payout completion signal to the payout completion signal circuit 72 (see FIG. 5). The payout completion signal circuit 72, which receives the payout completion signal, prompts the coin collector control circuit 70 to transmit a signal to the main control circuit 50a to stop the coin collector drive 71.

Then, in step δ237, a determination is made whether the counter of the number of rotations of the reels indicates a value of three or more. The main control circuit 50a determines whether the numerical value of the counter of the number of rotations of the reels, which is a variable stored in RAM 52, is

- 34 008323 is three or more, or is not. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing proceeds to step 8238, and when it is “No”, the processing proceeds to step 8213 in FIG. 36.

Then, at step 8238, lottery processing of completion of the MA01C LAMP ΒΟΝυ8 is performed. The details of this processing are described in the details of the completion processing MA01C LAMP ΒΟΝυ8 of FIG. 39, which is described below.

Then, at step 8239, a determination is made whether the MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝυ8 completion flag is set. The main control circuit 50a determines whether 1 is the numerical value of the MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝυ8 completion flag, which is a variable stored in RAM 52. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to block 8240, and when it is “No”, the processing is transferred at 8213 in FIG. 36.

Then, at 8240, transmission processing of the payout display recovery command is executed. The main control circuit 50a transmits to the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) a payout display recovery command, and the sub-control circuitry 171 that receives this command restores the payout table that is displayed on the sub-display 3 (see Fig. 1) to the state preceding the transition to MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝυ8, based on the payment information preceding the display change, stored in RAM 52 at 8211 in FIG. 36. When this processing is completed, this subroutine is completed, and therefore, the demonstration corresponding to the winning combination processing in FIG. 35 and stopping the reels ends, and the processing proceeds to step 8102 in FIG. 28.

Processing receipt of a payout display change command

The processing for receiving a pay display change command in FIG. 38 is the processing that is performed when the payout display change command is transmitted from the main control circuit 50a (see FIG. 5) to the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) in step 8211 for processing the bonus game MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝυ8 in FIG. 36, and the sub-control circuit 171 receives this command. Meanwhile, in FIG. 108, an image of a payout table displayed on a sub-display 3 is shown before processing to receive a payout display change command is executed.

At step 8251, probabilistic lottery processing of a payout display change pattern is performed. The sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) extracts one random number value in accordance with the program control. Based on the value of the random number, the main control circuit 50a further defines a payout display change pattern by referring to the probability lottery table of the change of the payout display pattern (see FIG. 19) stored in the ROM 51 (see FIG. 5).

Then, at step 8252, rotation display start processing is performed to display the payout of the corresponding number of bets. The sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) starts the rotation display for the display part of the payout table, which corresponds to the amount of the bet in the main game at the time of transition to MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝυ8. Meanwhile, in FIG. 109, an image of a payout table displayed on the sub display 3 is shown during execution of the rotation display start processing for the payout table for the corresponding bet amount. In this example, the corresponding bid is 5.

Then, at step 8253, a payout display display processing based on a payout display change pattern that was selected when there is a stopped rotation display is processed. The sub-control circuit 171 displays payout information based on a payout display change pattern that is determined in accordance with step 8251 when there is a stopped rotation corresponding to the rotation display part for the payout table.

Then, at step 8254, identification display start processing is performed to display the payout for the corresponding rate. The sub-control scheme (see Fig. 6) starts the display of identification information for the display part of the payout table corresponding to the bet amount in the main game at the time of transition to the premium game MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝυ8. This display of identification information is performed, for example, by enclosing in the frame of the display part of the payout table corresponding to the amount of the bet in the main game at the moment of transition to MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝυ8, and flashing the frame, but not limited to this, any display method can be used if is a display method in which the corresponding part can be easily identified. In FIG. 110, such an image is shown that the rotation of the rotation display part for the payout table is stopped, and the identification information of the display part for the corresponding payout table is started. Comparing FIG. 108 from FIG. 110, the payout amount for each winning combination when the bet amount is 5, as shown in FIG. 108, before proceeding to the bonus game MAO1C LAMP ΒΟΝυ8, but since it is determined by processing in step 8251 that the payout corresponding to the corresponding bet amount is doubled, the payout amount for each winning combination with bet 5 becomes as shown in FIG. 110.

Meanwhile, in this embodiment, in step 8251, one payout display change pattern is determined in accordance with a lottery from a plurality of patterns (for) payout display changes, and the payout display is changed in accordance with a specific pattern from

- 35,008323 changes in display payments. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is acceptable even if the display of the payout is changed without using a lottery.

Details of the processing of the lottery completion of the bonus game MAC1C LAMP ΒΟΝϋ8

With reference to FIG. 39, details of the processing of the MAC1C LAMP OPI8 completion lottery performed in step 8238 of FIG. 37.

Then, at step 8262, lottery prediction processing for completing the bonus game MAC1C LAMP VOB1i8 is performed. With this processing, it is determined whether to perform a demonstration of predicting the completion of MAC1C LAMP VONL8 or not. The main control circuit 50a controls the random number sampling circuit 56 (see FIG. 5) and extracts one random number value from the random number values that the random number generator 55 generates (see FIG. 5). Based on this random number value, the main control circuit 50a further determines whether to perform the MAC1C LAMP BOHi8 completion prediction demonstration by referring to the MAC1C LAMP BONi8 predictive completion prediction table shown in FIG. 17.

The main control circuit 50a controls the random number sampling circuit 56, and extracts one random number value from the random number values that the random number generator 55 generates. Based on the value of the random number, the main control circuit 50a further determines whether the completion of MAC1C LAMP BOB1 and 8 is performed by referring to the probabilistic lottery table of completion MAC1C LAMP BOXB8 during the demonstration of predicting the completion of MAC1C LAMP BOMi8 shown in FIG. 18. That is, when the MAC1C LAMP Х Х 'АМ завершения завершения обработку completion prediction processing is performed with a probability of approximately 3/4 by the processing according to step 8263 and the MAC1C ΒAMP Β ONυ8 завершения completion prediction processing is performed by processing according to this step 8263, the completion of the MAC1C АМ Р ВО Х и 8 выполняют выполняют is performed with a probability of approximately 2 / 3. Therefore, the execution of the completion of MAC1C LAMP YOUR8 should be determined with a probability of approximately 1/2 (= approximately 2/4 X approximately 2/3).

Then, at step 8266, a determination is made whether the MAC1C LAMP Β ОNυ8 is completed or not. The main control circuit 50a determines whether the MAC1C LAMP BOI8 is completed by referring to the determination result in step 8265. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing proceeds to step 8267, and when it is “No”, the processing proceeds to step 8269 .

Then, at step 8267, completion check processing of the MAC1C LAMP BAMΝΝ8 is performed. The main control circuit 50a sets to 1 the numerical value of the completion flag MAC1C LAMP OXB'8 (includes the flag), which is a variable stored in RAM 52.

Then, at step 8268, transmission of a demonstration completion command of MAC1C LAMP BOΝυ8 is performed. The main control circuit 50a transmits a command to demonstrate completion of MAC1C LAMP BO88 (command to demonstrate “exit the spirit from the lamp” (see FIG. 24)) to the sub-control circuit 171, and the sub-control circuit 171 that receives this demonstration command is read from the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6) the demonstration data (see FIG. 24) corresponding to this demonstration command, and the sub-CPU 221 (see FIG. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75 to display the corresponding

The main control circuit 50a (see FIG. 5) controls the random number sampling circuit 56 (see FIG. 5) and extracts one random number value from the random number values generated by the random number generator 55 (see FIG. 5). Based on the value of the random number, the main control circuit 50a further determines the “failure” effect to be performed by referring to such a column for which the reel stop order is the first stop order in the probability lottery game effect selection table when the winning combination is a loss, which shown in FIG. 16. That is, when the SEA is the usual image, one demo is selected from the “dolphin” failure effect, the “seagull” failure effect, the “monkey” failure effect, the “telescope” failure effect, and the “bird” failure effect, and if the DESERT image is DESERT , choose one demonstration from the “snake” failure effect, the “buzzard” failure effect, the “monkey” failure effect, the “telescope” failure effect, and the “bird” failure effect. For example, if the value of the extracted random number is 95, the choice of the “monkey” failure effect is determined.

Then, at step 8272, command transmission processing of the corresponding demonstration is performed. That is, the main control circuit 50a transmits to the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) a demonstration start command corresponding to the failure effect selected in step 8271.

Then, at step 8294, stop processing of the drum 22B is performed. That is, the processing of the step that is similar to that of the drum 22b in step 8274 is performed. When this processing is completed, this

- 38 008323 the routine is completed and the processing is transferred to step δ102 in FIG. 28.

As indicated above, by processing according to steps δ281, δ284, δ287, and δ291, it is possible to link the visual stop of the variable display of the reel and the game effect, which is displayed on the main display 4.

In particular, when the effect of a successful game is the game effect of the failure "seagull" or the game effect of the failure "buzzard", the "seagull" remains in the area of the display windows 23, 24, 25 for the reels 22b, 22C, 22Κ, and thus it is possible to notify the player. that there is a high probability that a predetermined winning combination takes place. In addition, this means that it is possible for the player to play the game with a sense of expectation.

In addition, when the “monkey” failure effect is the effect of a successful game, then, by demonstrating that the “monkey hangs” from the display windows 23, 24, 25 for the reels 22b, 22C, 22Κ, and the “monkey” moves across the display window, which she hangs. It is then possible to notify the player of a drum that stops next.

Details of failure demonstration in a variant other than first stop order and drum stop processing

With reference to FIG. 41 details the game effect of failure in a variant other than the first stop order and the drum stop processing that is performed in step δ115 of FIG. 29.

In step δ301, the probabilistic lottery processing performs the game effect of failure. According to a processing that is similar to that in step δ271 in FIG. 40, the probabilistic lottery processing is performed on the game of the failure effect, but in this processing, the game effect of the failure to be performed is determined by referring to such a column for which the reel stop order is the first stop order in the probabilistic lottery table of the selection of the failure game effect when the winning combination is the loss shown in FIG. 16, and therefore, the demo of stopping the drum, which can be selected when the normal image is SEA, is the game effect of the failure "seagull" and the game effect of the failure of the monkey, and when the usual image is DESERT, one demonstration of the game effect of the failure of the buzzard and the gaming effect of the "monkey" failure.

Then, in step δ302, transmission processing of the start command of the corresponding demonstration is performed. In this processing, processing is performed which is similar to that in step δ272 in FIG. 40.

Then, in step δ303, transmission processing of the demonstration command of the first stopped drum is performed. The main control circuit 50a (see FIG. 5) transmits a stop demonstration command of the first reel in accordance with the gaming failure effect, which is determined in step δ301. That is, the main control circuit 50a transmits to the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) a command (commands 11-13 of the game effect of the failure “seagull” (“buzzard”), teams 11-13 of the game effect of the failure of the “monkey” failure (see FIG. . 22)), which corresponds to the demonstration determined in step δ301, and the sub-control circuit 171 that receives this demonstration command reads from the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6) the demonstration data (see FIG. 22) corresponding to this the demonstration command, and the sub-CPU 221 (see FIG. 6) controls the image display control circuit 75 to execute the corresponding relevant demonstration. For example, when the game effect of the failure is the game effect of the failure of the seagull, the main control circuit 50a transmits to the sub-control circuit 171 (see FIG. 6) commands 1113 the effects of the failure of the seagull 13 (see FIG. 22), and the sub-control circuit 171 that receives this demonstration command reads from the sub-ROM 223 (see FIG. 6) the demonstration data (see FIG. 22) corresponding to this demonstration command, and the sub-CPU 221 controls the image display control circuit 75 to execute the corresponding a demonstration.

Then, in step δ304, stop processing is performed to stop the first drum. The main control circuit 50a controls the motor control circuit 67 to perform stop processing for stopping the first drum based on the information about the appearing stop symbol of the first drum stored in RAM 52 (see FIG. 5) in step δ106 in FIG. 28.

Then, in step δ305, a determination is made whether the stop symbol for stopping the first drum is equivalent to the stop symbol for stopping the second drum. The main control circuit 50a by accessing information about the symbols that appear to stop the first and second reels stored in RAM (see FIG. 5) in step δ106 in FIG. 28 determines whether both sides are equivalent. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, the processing is transferred to step δ306, and when it is “No”, the processing is transferred to step δ310.

Then, in step δ306, in the same manner as in step δ303, the transmission processing of the second drum stop demonstration command is executed.

Then, in step δ307, in the same manner as in step δ304, stop processing for the second stopped drum is performed.

Then, in step δ308, in the same manner as in step δ303, stop processing for the second stopped drum is performed.

Then, in step δ309, in the same manner as in step δ304, stop processing for the third stopped drum is performed. When this processing is completed, this routine is completed,

- 39 008323 and processing proceeds to step 8102 in FIG. 28.

On the one hand, at block 8310, transmission of the game failure effect game command command to stop the second reel is executed. This processing is similar to that at block 8308.

Then, at block 8311, in the same manner as at block 8304, stop processing for the second stopped drum is performed.

Then, at block 8312, in the same manner as at block 8304, stop processing for the third stopped drum is performed. When this processing is completed, this subroutine is completed and the processing proceeds to step 8102 in FIG. 28.

As indicated above, by performing steps 8303, 8306, 8308 and 8310, it is possible to visually stop the variable display for the reel and the game effect, which is displayed on the main display 4.

In particular, when the effect of a successful game is the game effect of the “seagull” failure, the “seagull” remains in the region of the display windows 23, 24, 25 for the reels 22b, 22C, 22K, and thus it is possible to notify the player that it is highly likely that a predetermined winning combination takes place. In addition, this means that the player can play with a sense of expectation.

Furthermore, when the effect of a successful game is the game effect of the “monkey” failure, by demonstrating that the “monkey hangs” from the display windows 23, 24, 25 for the reels 22b, 22C, 22K, and the “monkey” then moves from the display window, on which it hangs, it is possible to notify the player of a drum that stops next.

Another embodiment

In this embodiment, it is possible that step 8134 is performed passing through step 8133 of FIG. 31, and step 8136 is performed passing through step 8135. That is, the erasure of the reel display windows 23, 24 is planned to be performed after the reels 22b, 22C have stopped, respectively. However, not limited to this, it is acceptable even if the erasing of the display windows 23b, 23C is performed before stopping the reels 22b, 22C.

In this embodiment, the game starts with resource points, which increase or decrease according to the transition on the blocks of the board 8υСΟКΟΚυ in GO ^ TENE Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟNυ8. As the display of resource points on the subdisplay 3, the available resource points are displayed with the “highlighted heart” pattern and the lost resource points are displayed with the “hatched heart” pattern. It is acceptable if the player is shown a warning when the available resource points become one (or may be two), similar to display 503 in FIG. 107. Similarly, the player can easily recognize that the resource points are decreasing, so that EVENE Ι8ΕΑΝΏ ΒΟNυ8 is nearing completion.

The gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment is a gaming machine in which the payout table used for the game is displayed on the sub display 3. As the display method of this payout table, the following may be. Namely, the winning combination, which is actually won, is displayed on the payout table, and thus the player can identify a real winning combination. In addition, in the payout table, the payout distributed to the recipient of the winning combination and thus the given winning combination is displayed to identify among others. For example, as shown in FIG. 111, when the win ΒΑΚ occurs if the bet amount is 3, then ΒΑΚ-ΒΑΚ-ΒΑΚ is displayed in the form of a display 504 (the achieved winning combination is displayed: on the payout table and thus the identification is allowed), and the payout amount is displayed blinking in the form a display 505, and a winning combination display is a flashing line display 506. Thus, the player can easily identify the winning combination, which is actually me: is the win, and in addition, can easily identify the payout amount.

In addition, the symbol PO ^ EE (DOUBLE), which is the symbol of the joker that doubles the payout, can be accepted as a pattern line for reel 22. If a winning combination occurs including this symbol FOR EVERYTHING. payment becomes doubled or quadrupled. For example, when only one symbol ^ ΟυΒ ^ Ε is included in the winning pattern like ^ ΟυΒ ^ Ε-ΒΑК-ΒΑК, then the double payout is distributed for the usual winning combination ΒΑΚ, and when two symbols ^ ΟυΒ ^ Ε are included in the winning combination, like ^ ΟυΒ ^ Ε ^ ΟυΒ ^ Ε-ΒΑК, then distribute the quadruple payout for the usual winning combination ΒΑΚ. When the bet amount is 3, and the double payout of the regular winning combination ΒΑΚ is distributed, then the display, which means x2, is displayed near the display part of the corresponding payout amount, the line display 507 in FIG. 112. In addition, the symbol TSHRYE (TRIPLE), which is the symbol of the joker that triples the payout, can also be adopted for the pattern line for reel 22 in the same way.
