That is, the first to third stop buttons 12a to 12c function as reel stop operation means.
[0028]
The stop control of the first to third reels 6a to 6c is performed within a range (pull-in range) for four winning patterns. For example, when the first to third stop buttons 12a to 12c are operated, a winning is activated. In a case where a winning pattern constituting an internally winning winning combination is included in four consecutive winning patterns from the winning patterns located on the line, the first to third reels 6a to 6a are selected. The time until 6c stops is delayed, and the winning pattern constituting the winning combination is stopped on the pay line. As described above, the CPU 30 and the picture section drive control section 34 function as reel stop control means.
[0029]
The CPU 30 operates the electronic lottery unit 39 in response to the game start signal. The electronic lottery section 39 includes a random number generator and a random value sampling circuit, and selects one random value every time the game is started. The random number value drawn is input to the winning combination determination unit 40. The winning combination determination unit 40 is provided with a plurality of types of winning combination lottery tables grouped according to the magnitude of the input random number value. In the winning combination lottery table, the random number value drawn in the game in the normal mode is the same as the BB combination, the RB combination, the small combination corresponding to the small combination winning pattern that only pays out a predetermined number of medals, and the same without the insertion of medals. It is used to determine which pattern, such as a replay role that gives the right to play the next game by the number of bets, a replay role that does not generate any hits, etc., that is, a winning determination. There are a plurality of small winning patterns, each of which is assigned a payout medal. Then, the winning type and the pattern are determined depending on which of the winning patterns the sampled random number value belongs to. In addition, the winning combination determination section 40 is also provided with a winning combination lottery table used in the BB mode or the RB mode. When the winning combination is determined by the winning combination determining unit 40, a winning combination determination signal indicating the type of the determined loss or the winning combination is input to the CPU 30. As described above, the electronic lottery unit 39 and the winning combination determination unit 40 function as a winning combination determination unit.
