Is connected to a sound effect generator 155 including the above-mentioned device, and each of these devices can be controlled.

The inserted coin detection sensor 130 outputs as many pulse signals as the number of coins inserted into the coin insertion slot, and the main control unit 200 receives the pulse signals and credits as many as the number of pulses. The credit number display unit 60 is controlled so as to increase and display the number. The bet button operation detection sensors 135, 136, 137 output pulse signals according to the operations of the bet buttons 80, 81, 85, respectively, and the main control unit 200 activates the activated line so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signals. At the same time, the effective line number display unit 50 is controlled to light. That is, the operation button 8
By each operation of 0, 81, 82, "1MED
"AL", "2MEDALS", and "3MEDALS" are lit.

Further, when the start lever 90 is operated, the start switch 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 200 starts the operation such as random number lottery, which will be described later, upon receipt of the reception signal, and the rotating body device described later. 16
The drive pulse signal is transmitted to 0. The game played by operating the start lever 90 once is one game.

When a predetermined winning combination is achieved and coins are paid out, the main control unit 200 displays the number of payouts on the prize payout number display unit 70, and adds this to the number of credits to obtain the number of credits. It is displayed on the display unit 60. When a payout operation is performed by a payout button (not shown) or the number of credits exceeds 50, for example, the coin payout mechanism 140 is drive-controlled to eject coins from the opening 6 and accumulate the coins in the coin tray 7.

Further, the main control unit 200 controls the lighting of the lamp 10 and the voice synthesis LSI 15 when a winning combination is achieved.
It is configured to perform drive operations such as 0 drive control and display operations such as display control within the display screen of the display effect device 190.

Then, the main control unit 200 is provided with the rotating body device 160.
Is also configured to be controllable. The rotating body device 160 is shown in FIG.
Stepping motors 170, 171, 172 for controlling rotation of the three drums 30, 31, 32 as shown in FIG.
Of the stepping motors 170, 171, 172 in response to the drive pulse signal from the main controller 200.
Is driven, and the drive is stopped when the supply of the drive pulse signal is stopped.

Stepping motors 170, 171, 17
A drum 30 (31, 31), which is a thick disk-shaped rotating body, having symbol reel data 300 (310, 320) as shown in FIG.
The central part of 32) is connected. Thus, the driving of the stepping motors 170, 171, 172 causes the drum 30 (31, 32) to rotate as indicated by the symbol X.

First reel data 300, second reel data 310, and third reel data 320 as shown in FIG. 5 are attached to each of the drums 30, 31, and 32 so as to make one round at the outer peripheral portion of the drum. ing. Each reel data is provided with 21 differently arranged symbols. Black number "7" 3 on the design
There are 30 and a white bonus symbol “7” 331 including a big bonus symbol 330, a replay symbol 334, a METEOR symbol 332, a plum symbol 335, a bell symbol 333, and the like.
In the first to third reel data 300, 310, 320, symbol numbers 1, 2, ..., 21 are set in order from the uppermost side. And these symbols are designated by the symbol Y in the figure.
The drums 30, 31, 32 are rotationally driven so as to fluctuate in the direction indicated by.

As shown in FIG. 3, encoders 180, 181, and 182 are provided for the stepping motors 170, 171, and 172, respectively, and the encoders 180, 181, and 182 are arranged in accordance with the rotation of the motor.
An encoded signal as shown in is output. That is, depending on the fact that the symbol numbers 1, 2, ..., 21 are located on the effective line 40 of the window 20, one, two, ..., 2
It outputs one pulse signal. Further, the reel data pasting position and the signal output unit of the encoder are configured so that the encode pulse signal is output at such a timing. Thus, the main control unit 200 receives the encode pulse signal and grasps the symbol number on the effective line 40, and at the same time, grasps how much each symbol reaches each effective line in consideration of the symbol arrangement. ing.

Then, as will be described later, when the lottery result is won and the winning combination is achieved, the drawing control is performed so that the symbols of the winning combination are aligned on the activated activated line. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example thereof. Now, when the big bonus combination is established and the symbols "7, 7" are lined up on the activated line 40, if the symbol "7" is located within 4 frames from this activated line 40, this is forced. Specifically, the "pull-in control" is performed so that the combination of "7, 7, 7" is aligned on the effective line 40. It should be noted that this drawing-in control is performed for any of the symbols of the drums 30, 31, 32. In the example of FIG. 9, the pattern “7” 9
10 are the pull-in control targets and are arranged on the effective line 40. In this example, four frames are set as the pull-in control target, but the number of frames is not limited to this. That is, even if one of the winning combinations is won by the lottery and the predetermined symbol corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed, the player is not in an advantageous state, for example, the big bonus (BB) game is not started. Has become.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the command data table 600 stored in the data table area 203 of the ROM 201. A command made up of 1-byte-long mode data and 1-byte-long event data and an effect pattern which is effect contents are stored in association with each other. On the other hand, FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram of the display effect device 190. The display effect device 190 includes a CPU 192, a ROM 195 as a recording unit for recording an operation program, and a RAM 196.
An LCD panel 198, which is a display device, and a command receiving unit 194 are provided.

The main controller 200 uses the command table 60.
When the command 0 is transmitted to the display effect device 190 side, the command receiving unit 194 receives the command and passes it to the CPU 192, and the CPU 192 which has received the command performs the display effect according to this command on the display screen of the LCD panel 198. Is configured. Thus, the main control unit 200
Various display effects are performed by sending commands from.

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 lined up 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, the BB is elected when the lottery count value is "0 to m1", and the RB is elected when the lottery count value is "m2 to m3". If the value is "m4 to m5", the replay is won, and if the drawn count value is "m6 to m7", the small prize 1 is won, and the drawn count value is "m8 to m9".
In this case, the small role 2 is elected, and if a count 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 count value is "m10 to m1".
In the case of "1", the replay is won, in the case where the lottery count value is "m12 to m13", the small role 1 is won, and in the case where the lottery count value is "m14 to m15", the small role 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. 13 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 section 200 causes the start switch 110
Since the start signal is received from the random number counter 110
A count value of 0 is selected (step S1300). Compare this count value with the hit value in the table 1000,
If the selected count 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 to determine whether 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 (Ye
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 in 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. And this Figure 16
The series of games shown in (1) is usually called a Jack (JAC) game.

(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 win game is executed 30 times or the RB game is executed 3 times, the BB flag is lowered and the BB game is executed.
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 above-mentioned game, and while the BB flag is set, the drums 30 and 31 are arranged so that the replay symbols are aligned on the activated effective line. , 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 count value of the random number counter 1100 is selected,
In step S1810, each drum 30, 31, 32
The rotation operation of is started. In step S1820, it is determined whether or not the count value selected earlier with reference to the table 1000 is included in the winning value of the small winning combination 1 or small winning combination 2 and the winning combination has been 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, 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 have been 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. As can be seen from the above description, the total number of coins that can be acquired in RB is set to be smaller than the total number of coins that can be acquired in BB.

(Characteristics of the Present Invention) The spinning drum type game machine of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a stock button 2100 on the right side of the stop buttons 92, 93, 94 on the front thereof (see FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 21, the main control unit 200 has the ROM 20
The following operation control is performed by executing the program (1) (not shown) while using the RAM 205. When the stock button 2100 is pressed, the main control unit 200 detects it and stores the number of detections in a predetermined area of the RAM 205.

Each of the continuous mode lottery random number counter 2200 of FIG. 22A, the continuous number lottery A random number counter 2210 of FIG. 22B, and the continuous number lottery B random number counter 2220 of FIG. It starts counting from the value “0” and reaches the upper limit value, and it increments by 1 at a predetermined cycle (for example, 4 msec) one by one, and when the count value exceeds the upper limit value, it is cleared with the initial value “0”. It is formed by an infinite loop counter in which the counting operation is repeated, and the main control unit 200 controls the counting operation.

When the count value extracted from the random number counter 2200 for continuous mode lottery is "0" to "4", the JAC (jack) game continuous lottery mode is entered and the number of jack games is again selected. In the case of other count values "5" to "9", re-lottery is not performed. Thus, the maximum number of jackpot games to be executed is drawn with a probability of one-half.

When the count value extracted from the continuous number lottery A random number counter 2210 is "0" to "17", the lottery is performed so that the number of executed jack games is "3" to "20", respectively. It will be. When the count values extracted from the continuous number lottery B random number counter 2220 are “0”, “1”, “2”, and “3”, respectively,
The number of executed jack games is “0 (not executed)”,
It means that the lottery was carried out so that the numbers would be "1", "2", and "3". Thus, the main control unit 200 has the continuous number lottery A random number counter 2210 and the continuous number lottery B random number counter 2220.
Is extracted, and the number of games corresponding to the extracted count value is selected as the number of jack games to be executed.

(Operation Example) An operation example will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the bed buttons 80, 81, 85 are pressed and the start lever 90 is pressed, step S2
At 000, the main control unit 200 extracts the count value from the continuous mode lottery random number counter 2200. And
When the extracted count value is "0" to "4", the JAC (jack) game continuous lottery mode is entered and the number of jack games is again selected, but from other count values "5" to "4". In the case of "9", the re-lottery will not be conducted.

Then, in step S2005, a lottery for BB or RB is performed as described above, and then step S
In 2010, it is determined whether the RB has won. R
If B is won (Yes), the process proceeds to step S2015, and if not (No), the process proceeds to step S2040. When the process proceeds to step S2040 in the RB defeat, it is determined whether or not the BB is won. If the BB is also defeated (No), the operation is ended, and if the BB is elected (Yes), the process proceeds to step S2045.

In step S2045, a small winning combination game of 30 games is executed. That is, in the case of BB winning, the small winning combination game group of 30 games is first controlled for digestion. And 30
If the small role game has not ended (step S2050)
No) of the small win game is continued in step S2045, while if 30 small win games have been exhausted (Yes in step S2050), the process proceeds to step S2055 and the coins won in the small win game group. It is determined whether or not the number has exceeded a threshold value.

If the number of earned coins does not exceed the threshold value (No), the process proceeds to step S2060, and the jack game continuation number counter value is set to "3" in order to execute the set number of times of three jack games. On the other hand, when the number of acquired coins is equal to or larger than the threshold value (Yes), in step S2065, the continuous number lottery A random number counter 221
A count value is extracted from 0, and preparations are made to execute a jack game of a number corresponding to the extracted count value. Specifically, when the count value is "0" to "17", the value of the continuation number counter is set to "3" to "20", respectively.

Next, in step S2070, FIG.
Did the jack game explained in 1. once,
In 2075, the value of the continuation number counter is decremented by 1, and in step S2080, it is determined whether or not the value of the continuation number counter is 0. If the value of the continuation number counter is not "0" (No), the process returns to step S2070 to continue the jack game, and if the value of the continuation number counter is "0", the process proceeds to step S2085, and the step is performed first. S200
It is determined whether or not it is in the jack game continuous lottery mode in consideration of the lottery result of 0. If it is not in this mode (No), the operation is ended, and if it is in this mode (Yes), the process moves to step S2090 to perform re-lottery.

In step S2090, a count value is extracted from the continuous number lottery B random number counter 2220, and preparations are made to execute a jack game of a number corresponding to the extracted count value. Specifically, when the count value is "0" to "3", the value of the continuation number counter is set to "0" to "3", respectively. When the value of the continuation number counter is not "0" (step S209)
If No. 5), the process moves to step S2070 to continue the jack game. On the other hand, the value of the continuation counter is "0"
If it becomes, the operation ends.

Furthermore, if the stock button 2100 is operated in the case of the RB winning in step S2015, it is determined whether or not the stock button 2100 is operated (No), the jack game is executed once in step S2025, and the operation is performed. Finish. On the other hand, if the stock button 2100 is operated (Yes), the number of stocks stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 205 is increased by 1, and step S203 is performed.
If it is determined that the number of stocks has not reached 3 in 0, the operation is ended, while if it is determined that the number of stocks has reached 3 (Yes), step S2035.
After that, since it is handled in the same manner as BB winning, in other words, in order to be promoted to BB, the operation from step S2045 is performed.

From the above description, according to the present embodiment, when the result of the entry lottery indicates the entry into this BB (specific mode game), all the small winning combination game games of 30 games are executed, and this small winning combination game is executed. When the number of game media acquired in the role game group exceeds a predetermined number, the number of times of execution of the jack game is selected by using the continuous number lottery A random number counter 2210, and the jack game is executed by the number of times of execution selected by the lottery. On the other hand, in other cases, the jack game is executed only three times set in advance. Therefore, in this BB, unlike the conventional BB, the jackpot game can be digested without missing the small winning game, and the number of jack games is lottered, so that the playability is improved accordingly.

In the case where the continuous mode lottery to determine whether or not to execute the re-lottery is performed by using the continuous mode lottery random number counter 2200 (step S2000), the continuous mode lottery result indicates to execute the re-lottery. In the above, again, the continuation number lottery B random number counter 2220 is used to draw the number of times of execution of the jack game, and the jack game is executed for the number of times of execution of the lottery, which further improves the game playability. In addition, in this case, since the case where the jack game is not played as a result of "0 times", that is, the re-lottery is included, it is possible to concentrate more on the game.

Then, when a rush lottery for an RB having a smaller total number of game media obtainable than the BB is performed and the rush lottery result indicates the rush for this RB, the stock button 2100 for stocking the RB is selected. Since the operation control from the execution of the small game group of 30 games is forcibly performed on condition that the operation instruction is made three times including this time, RB
Can be promoted to BB depending on the will of the player, so that the playability is further improved.

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 upper limit value of each random number 2200, 2210, 2220 may be changed as appropriate, the number of games in the small winning game group may be changed as appropriate, and the like. Further, a button (operation means) for releasing the stocked RB may be provided, and when the button is pressed, the stocked RB may be released to control the game digestion.

As described above, according to the present invention, the maximum number of small winning combination games that can be consumed in the game mode for ending the digestion of a predetermined number of small winning games is changed to improve the playability. The effect is obtained.
