Is configured. Thus, the main controller 20
Various display effects are performed by the command transmission from 0.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of the table 1000 stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 201. The winning combination name, the winning value, the winning value for BB, and the flag area are stored in association with each other. What is BB (Big Bonus)?
As shown in 2, it is a winning combination when the black and white BB symbols “7” are aligned on the activated line. For this, 15 coins are won and flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area. Stand up big bonus game (BB
Rush into the game).

RB (Regular Bonus) is shown in FIG.
As shown in, a "METEOR symbol" is a role name when it is aligned on the activated line. For this, 15 coins are acquired and a flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area to set a regular bonus game (RB game). ).

Replay is a name when "replay symbols" are aligned on the activated line as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, a normal coin is not obtained, a flag 1 is set in the flag area, and a replay operation is performed by the player operating the start lever 90 to lower the flag (set to 0). That is, the next game can be played without inserting coins. However, during the BB game, one coin is paid out, the RB game is entered, and the R
If coins are aligned on the pay line 40 during B, 15 coins can be acquired.

Small wins 1 and 2 are win names when "plum symbols" and "bell symbols" are aligned on the activated line, as shown in FIG. 12, for which eight coins are used. , 6 cards have been acquired and the corresponding flag is set. Although there are other small wins, the small wins will be described as two types for ease of explanation.

Now, as shown in FIG. 11, the RAM 205 sequentially increments by 1 at a predetermined cycle (for example, 4 msec) from the value "0" to the upper limit "65535". A so-called infinite loop counter (random number counter 1100) is formed in which when the count value exceeds the upper limit value, it is cleared to the initial value “0” and the count operation is repeated, and the main control unit 200 controls the count operation. ing.

As shown in FIG. 10, if the lottery counter value is "0 to m1," BB is won, and if the lottery counter value is "m2 to m3," RB is won and the lottery counter is selected. If the value is "m4 to m5", the replay is won, and if the lottery counter value is "m6 to m7", the small prize 1 is won and the lottery counter value is "m8 to m9".
In this case, the small winning combination 2 is elected, and if a counter value other than this is drawn, it will be lost. Usually these m1
To m9, the BB winning probability is about 1/300, the RB winning probability is about 1/200, the replay winning probability is about 1/7, and the small wins 1 and 2 The winning probability is set to be about "1/30".

During the BB, that is, while the flag for the BB is set, the selected counter value is "m10 to m1".
In the case of "1", the replay is won, when the drawn counter value is "m12 to m13", the small win 1 is won, and when the drawn counter value is "m14 to m15", the small win 2
Will be elected, and these m10 to m15
Are set appropriately so that the winning probability of these is improved more than in the normal case. For example, the probability of winning a replay is about "1/6", and the winning probability of small wins 1 and 2 is "1/20".
It is designed to be of a degree.

(Description of Overall Operation) Next, the control operation performed by the main controller 200 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the overall operation of the rotating body type gaming machine 1.

When a coin is inserted and the start lever 90 is operated, the main control unit 200 causes the start switch 110
Since the start signal is received from the random number counter 110
A counter value of 0 is selected (step S1300). Compare this counter value with the hit value in the table 1000,
When the selected counter value is included in the winning value, a flag is set in the corresponding flag area (step S131).
0). If none of the winning values is included, the flag is not set and the process proceeds to step S1320. In step S1320, the flag area is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the small winning combination 1 flag is set.
If the small win 1 flag is set (Yes), the process moves to step S1325 to execute the small win 1 game.

On the other hand, if the small winning combination 1 flag is not set (No), the flow advances to step S1330 to refer to the flag area to determine whether the small winning combination 2 flag is set. If the small win 2 flag is set (Yes), the process moves to step S1335 to execute the small win 2 game. On the other hand, when the small win 2 flag is not set (No), the process proceeds to step S1340, and it is determined whether the replay flag is set by referring to the flag area.

When the replay flag is set (Yes
In step s), the process moves to step S1345 and replay control is performed. That is, the main controller 200 operates the drum 3 by operating the start lever 90 by the player without inserting a coin.
The lottery operation is performed again by rotating 0, 31, and 32.

On the other hand, if the replay flag is not set (No), the flow shifts to step S1350 to refer to the flag area and determine whether or not the RB flag is set. If the RB flag is set (Yes), the process moves to step S1355 to execute the RB game.

On the other hand, if the RB flag is not set (N
In (o), the process shifts to step S1360 to refer to the flag area and determine whether or not the BB flag is set. If the BB flag is set (Yes), the process moves to step S1365 to execute the BB game. on the other hand,
If the BB flag is not set (No), the processing is terminated and the above series of operations is repeated.

(Small Wins 1 and 2 Game) Referring to FIG.
The operation of the small winning combination game executed in steps S1325 and S1335 will be described. Both the small win 1 and the small win 2 games are executed in the same manner. First, each drum 3
Rotate 0, 31, 32 (a) and stop buttons 92, 9
In response to receiving the pulse signals transmitted from the stop button operation detection sensors 121, 122, 123 by the operation (b) of 3, 94, the stop control of the drum is performed (c). At this time, the pull-in control is also performed as described above. Then, when the small winning symbols are lined up on the activated activated line, the coins of the obtained number are acquired, and the flag is lowered (d). On the other hand, even if the pull-in control is performed, if the small winning symbols are not aligned on the activated activated line, the flag is lowered while the coin cannot be acquired. As described above, the small winning game has a high winning probability, but the flag is set for only one game.

(RB Game) Next, with reference to FIG. 15, an outline of the RB game executed in step S1355 will be described. The main control unit 200 that receives the start signal first
Start rotation of the drums 30, 31, 32 (step S
1500), in step S1510, it is determined whether or not the pulse signals transmitted from the stop button operation detection sensors 121, 122, 123 have been received by operating the stop buttons 92, 93, 94. If all the pulse signals have not been received (No), the wait state is set in step S1510. When all the pulse signals are received, it is determined in step S1520 whether or not the replay symbols can be aligned on the central effective line 40 while using the pull-in control.

When it is determined that they can be aligned (Yes
s), in step S1530, the effective line 40
Drums 30 and 3 so that 3 replay patterns are aligned on top
Stop control of 1 and 32 is made to acquire 15 coins, and this is one prize. On the other hand, if it is determined that they cannot be aligned (No), in step S1540,
The drum is stopped and controlled so that the combination of the out-of-sync patterns that is operated is obtained. One game is completed by a series of these operations.

Then, in step S1550, it is determined whether or not the winning in the replay symbol is 8 or 12 games have been consumed. When this is satisfied (Yes)
The RB flag is lowered (step S1560) to end the RB game. On the other hand, when this end condition is not satisfied (No), the process proceeds to step S1570, it is determined whether or not a new start signal is received, that is, whether or not a new game is started, and if it is received (Yes). In step S1500, the process returns to step S1500 to start a new game. If no new game is received (No), a wait state is set in step S1570.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, the RB flag is lowered and the RB flag is lowered when the winning of the replay symbol becomes 8 times (B) or 12 games are consumed (A), whichever comes first. Since the operation is controlled so as to end the game, a sufficient number of coins can be eventually obtained while the RB flag is set, even if the misses continue.

(BB Game) Next, the BB game executed in step S1365 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 17 is a schematic explanatory view showing the outline of this operation. In the BB game, when the small winning game is executed 30 times or the RB game is executed 3 times, the BB flag is lowered and the BB
The operation is controlled so that the game is ended. The example of FIG. 17 shows an example in which the game proceeds in the small winning game S1700, the RB game, the second small winning game step S1704, the second RB game, and so on.

This RB game has the same contents as the game described above, and the drums 30, 31 are arranged so that the replay symbols are aligned on the activated activated line while the BB flag is set. , 32 are stopped, the RB game in the BB game is entered. Furthermore, in this BB game, the winning probabilities of the small winning combinations 1 and 2 and the replay symbols are improved as described above.

First, as shown in step S1800 in FIG. 18, the counter value of the random number counter 1500 is selected,
In step S1810, the drums 30, 31 and 32 are provided.
The rotation operation of is started. In step S1820, it is determined with reference to the table 1000 whether or not the previously selected counter value is included in the winning value of the small winning combination 1 or small winning combination 2 and the winning combination is won. If the player has won (Yes), in response to receiving the pulse signal transmitted from the stop button operation detection sensors 121, 122, 123 by the operation of the stop buttons 92, 93, 94, the win is achieved by using the pull-in control. It is determined whether or not the winning combination 1 (or the winning combination 2) can be aligned on the activated activated line (step S).
1830). When it is determined that they can be aligned (Yes), the rotation of the drums 30, 31, 32 is stopped by aligning the symbols of the winning small wins on the activated effective line, and coins are acquired (step S1840). .

On the other hand, when it is determined that the lines cannot be aligned (N
In (o), the rotation of the drums 30, 31, and 32 is stopped by disposing the deviation symbol corresponding to the pulse signal on the effective line (step S1850). Then, in step S1860, it is determined whether or not the ending condition that 30 games have been consumed is satisfied. If this is satisfied (Yes), the BB flag is lowered (step S187).
0) End the BB game. On the other hand, when this end condition is not satisfied (No), the process proceeds to step S1880, it is determined whether or not a new start signal is received, that is, whether or not a new game is started, and when it is received (Yes)
s), the process returns to step S1800 to start a new game, and if not received (No), step S1880
In the wait state.

By the way, when it is determined in step S1820 that the small winning combination 1 or the small winning combination 2 has not been won (N
In step S1890, it is determined whether or not the replay has been won. If it is not won (No), the process returns to step S1800, and if it is won (Yes), the step is not shown, but the replay design is performed by aligning the replay symbols on the effective line 40. Stop control of 30, 31, 32 is performed. Then, in response to the operation of the start lever 90 and reception of the start signal, the RB game as described with reference to FIG. 15 is executed. When this RB game is completed once, the process returns to step S1860 to determine whether or not the BB game is completed.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19, the BB flag is lowered when the RB game is executed three times (C) or the predetermined number of games, for example, 30 games are exhausted (D), whichever comes first. Since the operation is controlled so that the BB game is ended, while the BB flag is set, even if the BB flag is continuously missed, as a result, a sufficient number of coins can be obtained. In particular, since the winning probability of the small role is also improved, the number of coins to be acquired is increased, which is the most advantageous game mode for the player.

(Characteristic Features of the Present Invention) (First Embodiment) FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram of a table 2000 stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 210. The amount of pull-in (the number of pull-in frames) in the range is registered in association with each other. The number of games in which the winning combination is not achieved means that the winning combination of BB, RB, small winning combinations 1, 2, etc. (excluding replays) shown in FIG. 12 is not realized (in other words, coins are not earned). ) The number of games to be digested. In the example shown in FIG. 20, the game digestion numbers in which the winning combination is not achieved are “0 to 30”, “31 to 60”, “61 to 100” ...
The amount of pull-in (number of pull-in frames) for each of
"4 (initial value)", "5", "6", ... Are associated with each other, and as the number of games in which the winning combination is not achieved increases, the pull-in amount is increased to facilitate winning the winning combination. I try to improve my motivation. The table 200
It goes without saying that the registered content of 0 can be changed appropriately.

(Operation) Next, an outline of operation will be described with reference to FIG. Assuming now that a coin has been inserted into the coin insertion slot 2, the bet button has been pressed, and the start lever 90 has been pressed, the drums 30, 31, 32 rotate. When the stop buttons 92, 93, and 94 are operated in this state, the main control unit 200 performs the process in step S2100 in response to detecting this. That is, the main controller 20
0 knows the number of exhausted games since the role of winning coins was established first, but referring to the registered contents of table 2000, the game exhaustion including the current game (the role is not established) Find the amount of pull-in that corresponds to the number. Then, a display command command is transmitted to the display effect device 190 so as to display the message indicating the retrieved pull-in amount (step S2105).

CP of the display effect device 190 which received this
The U 192 displays a message 220 indicating the pull-in amount, for example, “5 frames” on the display screen 2200 of the LCD panel 198.
Is displayed. FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram of this display example, in which a message 2200 indicating “the number of pull-in frames is“ 5 ”” is displayed on the display screen 2200 so that the player can easily grasp the pull-in amount at that time. There is.

Next, in step S2110 of FIG. 21, the main controller 200 controls the rotation stop of the drums 30, 31, and 32 so as to perform the pulling-in control with the previously pulled-out amount. In this way, the pull-in control is performed with the pull-in amount according to the number of times the game is exhausted in which the winning combination is not achieved. In addition,
As shown in step S2115 of FIG. 21, the main controller 2
00 may be provided with a pull-in amount initial value automatic return means for automatically returning the pull-in amount to the initial value “4” when the pull-in amount is changed a predetermined number of times, for example, 200 times.

Therefore, according to the first embodiment, the pull-in amount is changed in accordance with the exhaustion number of the game in which the winning combination is not achieved, so that the pull-in amount is increased as the game exhaustion number increases. It is possible to increase the possibility of establishment and improve the willingness to play the game.

Further, the main control unit 200 refers to the registered contents of the table 2000 in which the game exhaustion number range in which the winning combination is not achieved and the pull-in amount in this range are registered in association with each other, and from the time of the previous winning combination being established. The pull-in amount corresponding to the game exhaustion number range with respect to the exhausted game number is searched, and the pull-in control is performed with the searched pull-in amount. Therefore, only by changing the registered content of the table 2000, the pull-in amount changing operation is appropriately changed. Can be set. Further, since the information indicating the retrieved pull-in amount is displayed on the display effect device 190, the player can easily grasp the pull-in amount at that time.

Further, if the pulling-in control in which the pulling-in amount is changed is performed a predetermined number of times, for example, 200 times, the pulling-in control in the next game is performed as the preset initial value pulling-in amount "4". It is not necessary to increase the amount of pull-in without limit.

(Second Embodiment) FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram of a random number counter 2300 used in this embodiment. The random number counter 2300 starts at an initial value “0” and reaches a final value “99” at a predetermined cycle (for example, 4 msec).
While sequentially counting up one by one,
It is generated using a so-called infinite loop counter in which when the count value exceeds the final value "99", it is cleared to the initial value "0" and the counting operation is repeated. The infinite loop counter is the RAM 20 shown in FIG.
5, the main controller 200 controls the counting operation.

FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram of the table 2400 stored in the predetermined area of the ROM 201. In this table 2400, the number of pull-in frames is registered in association with each of the count values extracted by the main control unit 200 from the random number counter 2300. In the example of FIG. 24, each of the counter values “0 to 80” is the pull-in amount (number of frames) “4”, and each of the counter values “81 to 89” is the pull-in amount “5” and the counter value “90 to 98”. The pull-in amount "6" is associated with each of the numbers, and the pull-in amount "7" is registered in association with the counter value "99". Thus, as the amount of drawing is increased, the lottery probability is lowered and the game performance is improved. It goes without saying that the correspondence between the count value and the pull-in amount in the table 2400 is not limited to this example.

(Operation) Next, an outline of operation will be described with reference to FIG. Start lever 9 for instructing the start
In response to the operation of 0 and output of a start signal from the start switch 110 and detection of the start signal, the main control unit 200 performs random number lottery in step S2500. That is, the main control unit 200 extracts the count value at that time by the random number counter 2300. Next, in step S2510, main controller 200 determines the number of frames to be drawn corresponding to the extracted count value in table 2400 of FIG. 24 as the amount of drawing. For example, when the counter value is "81", the pull-in amount is determined to be "5" frames. Note that, similarly to the case shown in FIG. 22, a display command command for displaying a message indicating the information indicating the determined pull-in amount is transmitted to the display effect device 190 so that the CPU 192 of the display effect device 190 displays this message. You can

Next, in step S2520, the main controller 200 controls the rotation stop of the drums 30, 31, 32 so as to perform the pull-in control with the previously determined pull-in amount. Thus, the pull-in control is performed with the pull-in amount corresponding to the count value extracted in response to the operation of the start lever 90.

Therefore, according to the second embodiment, the pull-in amount preset for the random number count value selected in response to the operation of the start lever 90 is determined as the pull-in control amount, and the determined pull-in amount is determined. Since the pull-in control is performed by the amount, the playability is improved.

Further, the main controller 200 determines the pull-in amount corresponding to the extracted counter value in the preset pull-in amount for each counter value from the initial value to the final value, as the pull-in control amount. With a simple configuration using the random number counter 2300, it is possible to realize the determination of the pull-in amount by lottery and the pull-in control with the determined pull-in amount. Further, as shown in FIG. 26, this random number lottery operation starts when the first predetermined condition (for example, the number of games from the start of the game is 50 or more) is satisfied, and the second predetermined condition is satisfied. The game may be ended when the game is played (for example, the number of games 710 or more since the start of the game). Therefore, according to the example of the condition 1, the random number lottery is performed only while the number of games from the start of the game is “50 to 70 games”, and it is possible to prevent the random number lottery from being blindly performed.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the registered contents of the table 2000 or the table 2400 may be appropriately changed, a game may be started, or a game medium paid out as a prize may be a game ball instead of a coin.

As described above, according to the present invention, the pull-in amount is changed according to the exhaustion number of the game in which the winning combination is not achieved, and thus the pull-in amount is increased as the game exhaustion number increases. By increasing the number, it is possible to obtain the effect that the possibility of establishing a winning combination is increased and the willingness to play the game is improved.

Further, the pull-in amount preset for the random number counter value selected in response to the operation of the start instruction operating means is determined as the pull-in control amount, and the pull-in control with the determined pull-in amount is performed. Since the game is played, an effect that the playability is improved is also obtained.
