DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an amusement table for controlling a state of play using a control device using a microcomputer or the like. A game table (slot machine) in which a pattern row (reel) is moved (rotated), and when it is stopped, a prize is determined from a combination of the patterns stopped on the pattern display window, and a prize of a predetermined game medium is enjoyed. , Pachinko, etc.).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a game console represented by a slot machine having a plurality of rows (normally, three rows) of picture rows (reels) composed of a plurality of pictures, when a medal is inserted and a start lever is operated, This pattern row starts rotating and the game starts. At the same time as the start of the game, the control unit internally performs a lottery. When the lottery is won as a result, the control unit enters an internal winning state. Next, when the player performs an operation of pressing the stop button corresponding to each pattern row, the control unit determines in advance according to the position of the pattern row when the stop button is pressed by the player and the internal winning state described above. Control is performed so that the specified combination of pictures is displayed on the picture display window, and the picture row is stopped. The amusement board pays out a predetermined number of medals to the player according to the combination of the patterns appearing on the pattern display window when all the stop operations of the player have been completed and all the pattern rows have stopped.

<Big Bonus (abbreviated as BB)> When a predetermined prize is won as a result of the lottery, the control unit enters a BB internal winning state (BB internal hit state or BB flag is established). When the control unit is in the BB internal winning state, if the player can stop the image sequence in a desired combination (for example, 777), the control unit performs the BB playing state, that is, the BB state (BB game). to go into. In the control of the control unit in the general game in the BB state, the winning probability of a predetermined pattern is increased only for a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 times). This state is referred to as a state of “general play during operation of the big bonus operation device”.

<Regular Bonus (abbreviated as RB) Playing state 1: RB during BB> When the control unit wins a predetermined prize by lottery in the BB state, the control unit receives the RB internal winning state (internal RB hit state or RB flag). Established). When the control unit is in the internal internal winning state, if the player can align and stop the pattern row in a desired combination (for example, a replay pattern), the control unit performs the RB playing state, that is, R
Enter the B state (RB game). This state is referred to as the “operation of the regular bonus operation device”. In the RB state, for example, a game is performed in which only one medal is inserted. The control unit controls the replay pattern to be easily aligned in the middle horizontal row on the pattern display window by a stop operation performed by the player (by lottery). Only when the replay patterns are completed, for example, 15 medals are refunded. The RB game by the player is completed by repeating the operation of stopping the pattern row where 15 medals are paid out a predetermined number of times (for example, 8 times). In the BB state, by repeating this RB state a predetermined number of times (for example, three times),
The B state ends.

<RB play state 2: RB during normal play> B
In the playing state other than the B state, that is, in the normal playing state,
Generally, when a combination of predetermined RB patterns different from those in the BB state is aligned and stopped on the pattern display window, the RB state is set, and the same RB game as in the above-described RB state is performed only once. be able to.

<Holding of Internal Wins> In general, when the control is in the internal win state of the BB internal win state or the RB internal win state among the internal win states described above: the player performs a stop operation of the picture row. When the stop lever is operated at the rotation position of the pattern row where the predetermined pattern cannot be aligned and stopped on the pattern display window within the predetermined limit by the control unit, this internal winning state can be erased. Instead, the player keeps the pattern until the player can stop with the pattern aligned.

<Information of Internal Information> As described above, when the control unit is in the internal winning state, the timing at which the player stops the operation of the pattern line is bad, and the winning pattern line is displayed on the pattern display window. If the player cannot stop the game, the player controls the pattern row stop control so that the player can know the internal information that the player is in the internal prize state.
Is generally controlled to stop on the picture display window to notify the user. Therefore, if the player judges the reach, the player is in the BB internal prize state or R
It has been determined or estimated whether or not the player is in the B internal prize state, and the stop button is pressed (striking) so that the corresponding BB or RB pattern is aligned on the pattern display window.

<Conventional Problems> However, in general, the arrangement of pictures in the picture row (reel) and the conditions for stopping the picture row are restricted by laws and regulations. The player operates the stop lever in the timing range in which the pattern combination scheduled to win on the pattern display window is controlled and stopped by the stop control of the reels (called pull-in control) even if the state or the RB internal winning state is set. In some cases, a predetermined pattern cannot be aligned on the pattern display window.

Further, even if the state is a BB internal prize state or an RB internal prize state, and this state is stopped and displayed on the picture display window as a reach eye under the control of the control unit, the reach eyes are of different types. Since the game machine is unique for each game machine, there is a problem that the reach of the game machine which plays for the first time is not easily understood by the player, and the medal is wasted.

[0010] Particularly, for a player who plays a game for the first time, there is a drawback that the reach eyes are not understood, the player misses a chance to perform the BB at an odd angle, stops the game, and gives it to other players.

That is, in the conventional game console, there are disadvantages in that a game is played on a game console for the first time, or an unskilled player creates a disadvantageous situation, and the game is dull. Was.

[0012] Further, in the case of playing for the first time for a player on a game table, or in the case of an unskilled player who has won an internal RB in the RB in the general game in the BB state,
Since the pattern is stopped by operating the stop button without judging this state, the normal "replay removal" cannot be performed, and the pattern which becomes the RB is immediately aligned on the pattern display window, resulting in a high angle. There is a disadvantage that the number of games in the probability state (higher than the normal game) is reduced, and the number of medals that can be acquired during BB is reduced.

[0013]

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems.

That is, the problem to be solved by the present invention is:
The purpose is to provide an amusement platform with easy-to-understand internal information and a variety of games.

Further, an object of the present invention is that even a beginner can enjoy a game, and when an internal lottery is won and an internal prize is entered, useless medals are reduced, and medals that can be further acquired can be obtained. The number of cards is large, and a variety of games can be played, thereby increasing the player's willingness to play and providing an amusement stand where the players can enjoy the game more.

[0016]

The present invention has been made to solve this problem, and according to the present invention,
A plurality of pattern rows including a plurality of types of patterns including a pattern serving as a big bonus element are provided, a game medium such as a medal or a ball is inserted, and the plurality of pattern rows are displayed on a pattern display window by a game start operation. At the same time as starting the movement, the winning or losing of the internal prize is determined by lottery, the internal prize is set to the internal prize state when the internal prize is won, and each of the pattern rows is set to the internal prize state in response to the stop operation corresponding to each pattern row. An amusement console that controls and stops a pattern in a predetermined combination based on the pattern display window, determines a winning based on the combination of the stopped patterns on the pattern display window, and refunds a predetermined number of game media. And 1) when the combination of the picture which becomes the big bonus is aligned on the picture display window, the control unit is set to the big bonus play state, and the control in the big bonus play state is usually performed. When a predetermined pattern combination is aligned on the pattern display window during a general game in the big bonus play state, the control is performed such that the winning probability of the predetermined pattern is increased only for a predetermined number of games than the state control. The control unit controls the regular bonus game with the regular bonus game state, and 2) the number of general games in the big bonus game state reaches a predetermined number, or the number of times of the regular bonus game state is a predetermined number. When the number of times is reached, the big bonus play state is released,
3) When a combination of predetermined patterns which are set to the regular bonus play state when not in the big bonus play state and are stopped on the pattern display window, the regular bonus play can be performed only once in the regular bonus play state. 4) a big bonus internal prize state in which the control section controls the stop position of the pattern row so as to enter the big bonus play state;
A regular bonus internal prize state for controlling a stop position of a pattern row is included in the internal prize state so that the control section is in the regular bonus play state when not in the big bonus play state. Until the combination of the picture rows displayed on the picture display window when the row is stopped becomes the combination that makes the big bonus play state or the combination that makes the regular bonus play state,
The big bonus internal prize state or the regular bonus internal prize state is maintained, and 6) a pattern display window when the player stops the pattern row while the big bonus internal prize state or the regular bonus internal prize state is being won. If the combination of the picture rows displayed above cannot be controlled to stop in accordance with the combination in the big bonus play state or the combination in the regular bonus play state, it is determined that the player is in the internal winning state. The game can be achieved by providing a game board that informs the player of the roulette by displaying a roulette display, wherein whether the player is in the big bonus internal prize state or the regular bonus internal prize state is configured to imitate the roulette to the player. Can be distinguished by which player is in the internal winning state In addition, the game console is a slot machine, and one position on the picture display window can be specified by turning on, off, or blinking the backlight illumination, or a combination thereof. The control unit is in the big bonus internal prize state or the regular bonus, according to either the roulette-like or the random movement of the specified position and the pattern of the finally stopped position or the stopped position. It is characterized in that the display is distinguished whether it is in the internal prize state, and that the movement of the specified position is completed, a change in backlight illumination, a change in backlight color, or a change in sound, Or a notice of display by a combination of these,
Further, when the movement of the specified position is completed, whether the state is the big bonus internal winning state or the regular bonus internal winning state, the change of the backlight illumination or the change of the color or sound of the backlight. Or, by any of these combinations, the display is notified differently from the case where there is no internal winning state, and further, a roulette display device is provided on the game console front panel, and one position on the roulette display device is determined. It is configured to be capable of specific display, the position of the specific display is moved, and from the display of the finally stopped position, the player is informed that the player is in the big bonus internal prize state or the regular bonus internal prize state,
In addition, the end of the movement of the position of the specific display is notified by a change in illumination, a change in color of light, a change in sound, or a combination thereof.

In the case of the internal winning state, when the movement of the position of the specific display is completed, a change in lighting, a change in color of light, a change in sound, or a combination thereof is performed. Notifying the display differently when not in the internal prize state, and further comprising a plurality of pattern rows including a plurality of kinds of patterns including a pattern serving as a big bonus element,
A game medium such as a medal or a ball is inserted, and the first lottery is performed at the same time as starting the movement of the plurality of pattern rows on the pattern display window by a game start operation, and either a big bonus or a regular bonus is performed. Internal prize that means
Determine whether each internal winning of each child role including replay is appropriate,
If an internal prize, which means either the big bonus or the regular bonus, is won, a second lottery is performed at a predetermined time after operating a normal start lever, and whether the internal prize is inside the big bonus or inside the regular bonus. It is determined whether or not it is a prize, and the control unit is set to a big bonus internal prize state or a regular bonus internal prize state. When in the big bonus internal prize state, the stop position of each pattern row becomes a big bonus prize. In addition, when in the regular bonus internal prize state, the stop position of each pattern row becomes a regular bonus prize, and when in the internal prize state of each child role including replay, the stop position of each pattern row is set to each child role. In order to be a prize, in response to a stop operation of the player corresponding to each pattern row, the respective pattern rows are set to the respective internal winning states. A game console that controls and stops a pattern in a predetermined combination based on the pattern display window, determines a winning based on the combination of the stopped patterns on the pattern display window, and pays out a predetermined number of game media. And
1) When the combination of the pictures that become the big bonus is aligned on the picture display window, the control unit is set to the big bonus playing state, and the control in the big bonus playing state is a predetermined number of times of playing more than the control in the normal state. Only when the combination of predetermined patterns is aligned on the pattern display window during the general play in the big bonus play state, the control unit is set to the regular bonus play state. 2) When the number of general games in the big bonus game state reaches a predetermined number, or when the number of regular bonus games reaches a predetermined number, the big bonus game is controlled. The game state is released, and 3) a predetermined pattern combination that is set to the regular bonus game state when not in the big bonus game state. When the set stops on the pattern display window, the regular bonus play state is controlled as a regular bonus play state, and the regular bonus play state is controlled only once. 4) The control unit stops the pattern row. The big bonus internal prize state or the regular bonus internal prize state is maintained until the combination of the pattern rows displayed on the pattern display window sometimes becomes the combination that makes the big bonus play state or the combination that makes the regular bonus play state. 5) When the player has stopped the pattern row when the player is in the big bonus internal winning state or the regular bonus internal winning state, the combination of the pattern rows displayed on the pattern display window is the big bonus playing state. Combination or combination that becomes the regular bonus play state In a range in which the control of stopping in line cannot be performed, it is possible to achieve the internal winning state by providing a game console that informs a player with a display imitating roulette, and after the start lever is operated. In the second lottery at the predetermined time, the predetermined time after a predetermined time has elapsed after the start lever has been operated, or after a stop operation has been performed by the player after the start lever has been operated and all the pattern rows have been stopped. Is performed at any time after a lapse of time, and
The second lottery is performed either automatically by the control unit or manually by the player, and the second manual lottery is started by the player. It is performed either by operating a lever or by operating a lottery button provided on a front panel of a game console, and whether the player is in the big bonus internal winning state. When the player is informed of the regular bonus internal prize state in a display imitating the roulette, the player is informed of which internal prize state is present in a configuration that can be distinguished by the player. Is a slot machine, and turns on, turns off, or blinks, or a combination of these, a backlight on a picture display window. Configured such location can be identified, to move the position of the specific roulette-shaped, or randomly,
The control unit discriminates and displays whether it is in the big bonus internal prize state or the regular bonus internal prize state according to either the pattern at the position where it finally stopped or the position where it stopped, and also specifies the position. The end of the movement of the position is notified by a change in the backlight illumination, a change in the color of the backlight, a change in the sound, or a combination thereof. Whether or not a bonus internal prize state is reached, when the movement of the specified position is completed,
Either a change in backlight illumination or a change in backlight color or a change in sound, or a combination thereof,
Notify that display is different from when not in internal prize status,
A roulette display device is provided on the game console front panel,
One position on the roulette display device can be specified and displayed, the position of the specific display is moved, and the display of the finally stopped position indicates that the big bonus internal prize state or the regular bonus internal prize is displayed. Notify the player that the state is present, and also indicate that the movement of the position of the specific display has been completed by changing the lighting, changing the color of light, changing the sound, or any combination thereof. When the movement of the position of the specific display is completed, the change of the lighting, the change of the color of light, or the sound is displayed. Change, or any combination of these, will inform the display differently from the case where the internal prize is not in order to solve the problem to be solved by the present invention.

In FIG. 2, the substrate on which the backlights are arranged and the backlights are drawn by solid lines. However, actually, the backlight is illuminated from the back side of each reel.

By turning on, blinking, turning off, or a combination of the backlights L1 to L9 described above, one of the 3 × 3 positions on the picture display window can be specified in this embodiment, and an effect can be produced. .

<Picture Arrangement> FIG. 3 is a diagram in which the respective pattern arrangements corresponding to the reels 101, 102 and 103 used in this embodiment are developed on a plane. In the pattern arrangement shown in FIG. 3, 21 reels of a plurality of types are arranged on each reel. A code number of 0 to 21 is assigned to each pattern array, and a pattern and a code number are stored in the control unit in association with each other with reference to the location of code 0, which is used for reel stop control. The pattern arrangement on each reel is rotated by a drive motor in the direction of the arrow in the figure.

<Effect> (Flow of Game and Effect) In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which a bonus flag is notified by the roulette wheel 130 on the front panel. 1) First player has 1-3 pieces of metal Medal slot 106
By inserting more, the number of activated pay lines is determined to be 1 to 5 lines. 2) Next, by operating the start lever 105, the reels 1-101 to 103 start rotating. At the same time, a lottery is performed internally, BB, RB, other predetermined combinations (child role to pay out a predetermined medal, replay that can play again, etc.), loss are determined internally, and when a BB or RB bonus is won , BB or RB. 3) The player next operates the stop buttons 121 to 123 to stop the reels by performing predetermined control based on the position where the stop button is pressed and the result of the lottery. 4) The reel stop control is performed in accordance with the result of the lottery so as to stop the reels in accordance with the result of the lottery as much as possible in a predetermined rule.

In particular, when the corresponding pattern cannot be displayed on the pattern display window when the BB or RB bonus is in the internal winning state, the player is notified of the internal winning state as a "reach eye" by combining the patterns. 5) When the BB or RB is internally won, the display position of the roulette 130 moves and rotates on the roulette. (It may be moved arbitrarily.) The moving display position on the roulette is specified by illuminating one location, turning off one location, or flashing.

That is, an effect is produced as if the second lottery was performed. 6) When the specific position of the roulette is stopped, the internal winning state displayed at the stop position of the roulette is shown. Therefore, in the next game, the player only has to perform the reel stop operation aiming at the picture according to the type of the internal winning.

The internal prize type is displayed by changing the color of the illumination and changing the color of the internal prize (red for BB and blue for RB) to distinguish between BB internal prize and RB internal prize. You can also.

Further, the game is changed by informing the BB or RB that an internal prize has been won by a sound (the type of sound may be changed depending on the type of the internal prize). 7) Depending on the combination of the patterns displayed on the pattern display windows 131 to 133, the next game corresponding to the winning is performed or a predetermined medal is refunded, and one game is ended.

(Game as seen from the player) When viewed from the player, the player inserts medals (the effective pay line is determined by the number of medals), and the stop operation of each reel causes the stop corresponding to each reel to be stopped. When the button is pressed and, for example, referring to FIG. 4, when three “7” s having the code numbers 20 of the left, middle, and right reels are aligned on the activated pay line, “activation of the big bonus activation device” is performed. And B
The state becomes the B state (BB game).

For the player, when an internal prize is won by an internal lottery, for example, when all reels are stopped, the roulette apparently starts rotating, and alternately designates BB and RB.
Eventually, the roulette stops, and the designated location is internally won. Therefore, to the player, it looks as if the second lottery is being performed.

In comparison with the case where the internal winning state (reach) is displayed by a combination of the patterns displayed on the pattern display window which is usually performed, the internal winning is hard to be recognized by a beginner in the conventional method, and therefore, the internal winning can be arbitrarily stopped. If the button is operated and the operation timing of the stop button is bad, it is not possible to stop, for example, by properly aligning "7".

In the present invention, since it is displayed and notified that there is an internal prize of BB or RB as described above, even a beginner can easily understand. Therefore, next, the player operates the stop button aiming at a predetermined pattern (for example, “7”), and easily sets B
A winning state of B or RB (BB state or RB state) can be set.

In the BB state, the winning probability is set higher than in the normal play state, and the general play is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 3).
0) (the general game in the BB state) or by performing the RB game a predetermined number of times (for example, three times).
The state ends.

FIG. 4 shows the winning probability of each prize and the payout number of medals in a normal game (base game), and the winning probability of each prize and the payout number of medals in a general game during BB.

For example, the probability of winning "Bel-Belu-Bell" during the base game is 1/15, and the number of medals paid out is eight. In addition, in the general game during BB, the probability of winning the same “Bel-Bel-Bell” is 1/3, indicating that the number of paid out medals is eight.

In the left reel of FIG. 3, "7" is code 20, code number 15 for King Arthur, code 18 for Merlin, code 17 for dragon, code 14 for bell, and code 6 for cherry. The Holy Grail indicates No. 16, and ANY indicates that any may be used. "Replay" indicates replay.

In the general game during the BB, a predetermined pattern is more likely to be aligned on the pay line with a higher probability than in the normal game, so that medals can be obtained in the general game in addition to the three RBs during the BB. It is easy to understand the opportunity to increase the number of medals obtained in total. Therefore, the stop button is operated by paying attention to the stop timing so that the RB does not become the RB until the predetermined number of times (normally 30 times) in the general game during the BB (normal RB game is entered). Extra medals can be obtained by aligning with the role of.

That is, when a lottery of the RB is drawn in the general game during the BB, the RB is drawn by pushing a predetermined pattern.
It is possible to increase the number of general games in the BB, to increase the number of medals obtained when the BB is won, and thus to provide a slot machine that even beginners can enjoy playing. it can.

28 are stored in the RAM 29 in advance. Hereinafter, the flowchart of FIG. 6 will be sequentially described according to the steps.

Step S40: (insertion of medals: bet) Depending on the player's selection, one to three game medals are inserted from the medal insertion slot 106, or a credit bet button (medal maximum three-seat button 109, medal maximum) A button is selected from the two-seat button 110 and the one-slot medal button 111). At this time, the pay-in effective line display lamp 120 is lit according to the number of game medals to be inserted, to notify the player that the game can be played.

Step S41: (Game Start: Lottery) The game is started when the player operates the start lever 105. First, a random number value is obtained from the random number generator 37, the random number value is compared with a numerical value stored in the ROM 28 in advance, and it is determined whether or not a predetermined pattern combination has been won. Evacuate to

Step S42: (Start reel rotation) At the same time, each reel (left reel 101, middle reel 102,
The rotation of the right reel 103) is started to start the game. Also, the lighting device (backlight) for illuminating the picture is turned on.

Steps S43 to S45: (Reel stop operation) The player presses the left reel stop button 121, the middle reel stop button 122, or the right reel stop button 123 in any order, and the corresponding left reel 10
1. The respective reels are stopped by performing a stop operation on the center reel 102 and the right reel 103.

Step S46: (Full-body stop: reel stop) Every time each stop button is operated, steps (S43 to S45) corresponding to the stop button are executed,
After that, it is detected whether the body (reel) has stopped all the time,
If all the trunks have not stopped, the process proceeds to step S42.

When all the stop buttons have been pressed and all the reels have stopped, the operation proceeds to step S47.

Step S47: (Appearance of Reach Eye) When the control unit is in the state of winning inside the BB and RB, the timing of pressing the stop button is bad, and the pattern of the winning is displayed. If the image cannot be aligned on the picture display window, the reach eye pattern is displayed on the picture display window, and only the reach eye pattern is illuminated with a backlight to reach the player (internal prize). Let them know. That is, the process proceeds to step S48 to perform a predetermined effect.

If the game does not reach the reach, that is, if no internal prize has been won, the game returns to step S40.
Return to

When all the reels are stopped and the normal winning combination is on the activated pay line on the picture display window,
Although omitted in the flowchart of FIG. 6, step S
Proceeding to 51, a predetermined number of medals are paid out and the game ends.

Step S48: (Production of the Second Lottery) The production is performed as if the lottery of the game is performed in two stages.
That is, the first time is performed by drawing a random number when the game is started, as is generally known. Actually, it is determined at this point whether or not an internal prize has been won. However, as an effect, the roulette wheel is rotated to give a sense of expectation as to the second lottery.

The control for specifying the position on the roulette at this time may be control of rotational movement or control of irregular movement.

Step S49: (Stop of Roulette) In the present embodiment, taking a case where BB or RB is internally won as an example, FIG. 1 shows that only BB and RB on roulette can be designated. However, the case of the normal role may be described on the roulette, and the instruction of the roulette may be stopped on the normal role.

Here, the target to be stopped is changed by changing the color of the illumination according to the type of the prize, such as illuminating the illumination with a red system when the BB internal prize is won and illuminating with the blue system when the RB internal prize. Therefore, the next stop operation can be performed by aiming at the next stop operation.

Further, by blinking the illumination, the player's attention can be dynamically attracted.

At the same time, by generating a predetermined sound from the sound source and informing the player by a speaker, the player can three-dimensionally catch the internal prize, thereby making the game more interesting. it can. In this case, by turning on the notification lamp 118, the player can be further alerted. (Even without the notification lamp 118, the player can know the internal prize) Step S50: (Start BB game) The BB or RB game is started according to the position where the roulette is stopped.

Step S51: (Winning determination: medal payout) In step S51, it is determined whether or not the combination of the patterns displayed on the pattern display window is a winning. If it is a winning, a predetermined medal is paid out.

When the BB or RB winning pattern is aligned on the picture display window, the lighting and sound source are different from the case of notifying the internal prize (even if the same pattern is displayed, a predetermined pattern is displayed to the player. Can make a game more fun by notifying the player. Also,
The notification lamp 118 is turned on at the same time as the winning of BB or RB to notify the winning. In addition, BB and RB may be lit in the same manner, but by changing the color or making a difference by blinking, the player can determine which game state the player is in.

If the picture on the picture display window is not a winning, the game is ended if it does not appear during BB or RB.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the player can devise the stop operation of the next game, and can provide an amusement stand that makes the game interesting. (Embodiment 2) In the embodiment 1, the roulette wheel 130 is provided on the front panel, and the roulette wheel is rotated at the time of internal winning,
The example in which the effect is performed as if the second lottery is performed has been described.

In Embodiment 2, without using roulette,
Using the stop position of the picture on the picture display window, one picture position is specified using the backlight (the backlight is set to 1
A method of illuminating only one pattern, a method of turning off the backlight of only one pattern, a method of blinking the backlight, and a combination thereof can be specified). It can be replaced with the roulette described in 1. Hereinafter, an effect method using a backlight will be described.

<Effects> FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the sequence in the case where one picture position is specified by the backlight and the picture position is moved.

BB or RB by lottery at the start of the game
, An internal winning state is established (a bonus flag is established), and when one of the stop buttons is pressed by the player's operation, a reach eye appears as shown in FIG. 7A. In this case (the reach eyes do not have to be aligned on one straight line, and may be reach eyes that include a big bonus symbol and a regular bonus symbol), and the backlight is indicated by a line in FIG. In this way, one pattern is specified in a roulette manner or randomly for a predetermined time.
In FIG. 4A, 1) the position (pattern) is first specified from the upper stage of the right reel 103, 2) the upper stage of the middle reel 102 3) the upper stage of the left reel 101 4) the middle stage 5 of the left reel 101 ) Lower stage of left reel 101 6) Lower stage of middle reel 102 7) Lower stage of right reel 103 8) Middle stage of right reel 103 9) Move to middle stage of middle reel 102 and stop at "7" in middle stage of middle reel. In the case of this example, it indicates that the BB has an internal prize.

That is, if the pattern position of the reel is sequentially moved and stopped at the position "7" as shown in FIG. 4A, the big bonus is determined. In this case, for example, a stop at the pattern of “King Arthur” indicated by the code number 15 in FIG. 3 indicates that the regular bonus is determined.

Depending on the timing at which the player presses the stop button, it may not be possible to pull in the bonus picture on the picture display window. For example, only “7” indicating the big bonus pattern is stopped on the display window and RB
In the example where the internal winning state is RB, BB
In a case different from the method of indicating “7” in the case of
May be specified and notified. For example, by flashing a pattern other than the pattern of “7”, the fact that the RB has won inside may be notified as internal information of the control unit.

Conversely, when only the RB pattern stops on the display window and the internal winning state is BB (in this example, “Arthur King” is included in the pattern display window and stops. ), In the case of RB, a method different from the method of instructing “King Arthur” may be specified and notified. For example, by flashing a pattern other than the pattern of “King Arthur”, the fact that a prize has been won inside the BB may be notified as internal information of the control unit.

When no bonus pattern is stopped on the pattern display window, the position of the backlight may be indicated by a stop position, or the type of bonus may be notified by a blinking pattern of the backlight.

When the backlight is blinking, for example, all of (L1 to L9) blink to indicate that the BB is internally selected, and only (L2, L5, L8) blinks, and the RB Can be shown to be selected internally. In addition, any blinking pattern may be used as long as the display is such that even a beginner can recognize the internal prize of BB or RB.

FIG. 4 (b) shows an example in which the specific movement order of the picture position by the backlight is set to a horizontal 8 position. 1) Upper right reel 2) Middle right reel 3) Lower right reel 4) Middle reel lower section 5) Middle reel middle section 6) Middle reel upper section 7) Left reel upper section 8) Left reel middle section 9) Left reel lower section 10) Middle reel middle section 11) Middle reel upper section 12) Right reel upper section 13) Right reel middle section And stop at "Cherry" in the middle of the right reel,
This indicates that an internal prize is awarded to RB instead of B.
Therefore, in the next game, the player only has to operate the stop button aiming at "Arthur King" which is an RB game.

FIG. 4 (c) shows an example in which the pattern indicating BB and RB is not stopped on the pattern display window. 1) Upper right reel 2) Middle right reel 3) Lower right reel 4) Middle reel lower section 5) Left reel lower section 6) Left reel middle section 7) Middle reel middle section 8) Right reel middle section 9) Right reel upper section 10) Middle reel upper section 11) Left reel upper section 12) Left reel middle section 13) Middle reel middle section And stop at "Cherry" in the middle of the right reel,
This indicates that an internal prize is awarded to RB instead of B.
Therefore, in the next game, the player only has to operate the stop button aiming at "Arthur King" which is an RB game.

<Control> Next, control of the slot machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. These control programs and necessary tables and unique values are stored in ROM
