Here, “replay (Replay)” means that the “replay (Replay)” flag is established by the lottery of the winning lottery means 70, and “replay (Replay)” When the symbols are aligned on the winning line, the game can be played again in the next game without newly inserting a game medium.
(Stop Switch 50) The stop switch 50 is stop display transition means 51 for stopping and displaying the rotating reel 40 as the symbol display means 41 from the variable display based on the operation of the player. That is, the stop switch 50 is for stopping the driving of the reel unit 60. Specifically, the stop switch 50 is composed of three switches corresponding to each rotary reel 40, and one stop switch 50 is arranged below each rotary reel 40. The rotation reel 40 corresponding to the rotation reel 40 is set to stop rotating by a stop operation such as pressing or touching the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotation reel 40 with a finger.

  (Selection switch 161) This is for selecting whether the number of winning effective lines or the multiplication rate is set for the insertion of the game medium through the selection means 160 by the operation of the player. As shown in FIG. 3, the selection switch 161 is formed slightly below the start switch 30 and the stop switch 50. As shown in FIG. 3, the selection switch 161 includes three switches, a line selection switch 162, a multiplication rate selection switch 163, and a determination switch 164. The line selection switch 162 is used to reflect the insertion of game media in the setting of the number of winning winning lines by the player's operation. The multiplication rate selection switch 163 is used to reflect the insertion of the game medium in the setting of the multiplication rate by the player's operation. The determination switch 164 makes the line selection switch 162 or the multiplication rate selection switch 163 operated before the determination switch 164 pressed down effective.

Further, after the winning switch is determined, the determination switch 164 makes the multiplication rate selection switch 163 effective and inserts a game medium. Make the multiplication rate for each effective winning line valid. Thereby, a multiplication rate can be set for each winning line.
In addition, when the multiplication rate selection switch 163 is first operated to make the multiplication rate effective without determining the winning effective line, one multiplication rate k can be selected and then selected. The multiplication rate k is used in all winning winning lines.
It should be noted that, regardless of whether the winning line or the multiplication rate is set first, up to 15 game media input total limits can be used as valid, and the settings exceed the total input limit. Is set to be invalid. Of course, it is not limited to such an input total limit, and may be set to other input total limit number, or may be set not to provide such an input total limit.

(Reel Unit 60) The reel unit 60 is composed of three motors fixed to or supported by a frame, and three rotary reels 40 fixed to the output shafts of the respective motors, although not particularly shown. Yes. The rotating reel 40 is used as a symbol display means 41 for variably displaying or stopping a plurality of symbols. Each rotary reel 40 includes a rotary drum made of a synthetic resin and a tape-like reel tape attached around the rotary drum. A plurality of (for example, 21) symbols 61 are displayed on the outer peripheral surface of the reel tape.
(Storing / dispensing means 65) The storing / dispensing means 65 stores the game medium and pays out the game medium to the player based on the result of the stop display of the rotary reel 40. Specifically, a hopper unit for storing game balls and an individual payout means for paying out game balls one by one from the hopper unit are provided. Then, when the winning and winning means 65 wins a predetermined winning combination side by side on a predetermined winning effective line, the storage payout means 65 sets the multiplication rate k set in the winning effective line to the basic payout number of the winning combination. The multiplied number of game media is paid out to the player.

  Although not shown in particular, the individual payout means is capable of paying out game balls inside the gaming machine 10 one by one to the outside of the gaming machine 10. The individual payout means 130 discharges the game balls inside the hopper unit of the storage payout means 65 one by one toward the outside of the gaming machine 10 to the ball storage upper dish 80 through the upper dish discharge port 81. belongs to. This individual payout means has a sprocket capable of discharging game balls one by one, and four recesses are formed on the circumferential surface of the sprocket to match the outer surface of the game ball. The game balls can be delivered to the upper dish discharge port 81 one by one by fitting the game balls into the recess.

(Notification Device 66) The notification device 66 is used for notifying a player of winning, winning, etc. by sound, light, or video.
(Game Control Unit 27) The game control unit 27 is for playing a game.
In other words, the reel unit 60 is driven when the start switch 30 is operated on the condition that the game medium is inserted or the bet switch 16 is inserted, or when a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game in the case of “replay”. Then, the three rotary reels 40 start to rotate. Thereafter, when one of the stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the corresponding rotary reel 40 is stopped. When all three stop switches 50 have been operated, all the rotations of the three rotary reels 40 are stopped. At this time, when a preset symbol 61 is stopped on the winning line of the display window 12, a predetermined number of game media are paid out via the storage payout means 65.

  When winning a prize, paying out the game media will be accompanied by a small role winning that will give the player a profit (if this small role winning wins will be a small role winning), and if winning, this small role winning Special wins that give players even greater profits than wins (if this special win wins, they will win special wins), and if they win, there will be no payout of game media, but new game media will be thrown in And “winning replay (replay)” (when this replay win is won, it becomes a replay win). When the lottery result is one of the winnings (also referred to as an internal winning), a winning flag corresponding to the winning is established.

  Here, the “flag” is a memory for storing the fact that the lottery result of the winning lottery means 70 is won when a predetermined winning combination is won. A small winning combination flag is established, and when the lottery result is a special winning, a special winning flag is established. While the special winning flag is established, the combination of the stop symbol 61 of the rotating reel 40 of the reel unit 60 is a predetermined winning symbol 61 (for example, three “7” s on the winning line). It is formed so that a special game advantageous to the player can be performed on the condition that the game matches. If the special winning flag is established by lottery, but the combination of the stop symbol 61 of the rotating reel 40 does not match the winning symbol 61, the right to establish the winning flag is set to be carried over to the subsequent games. Yes. Note that the winning flag for winning the small role is not carried over to the next game with the right to establish the winning flag when the winning flag is not awarded in the game in which the winning flag is established.

  In the present embodiment, a stop table is used as stop control. For this reason, whether or not the corresponding winning symbol 61 can be aligned on the winning winning line while any one of the winning flags is established corresponds to the 21 symbols previously described on the selected stop table. It is determined by the number of sliding frames at each stop operation position (No0 to No20). For example, the symbols on the winning effective line of the left rotating reel 43, the central rotating reel 44, and the right rotating reel 45 are set to win the BB game by sequentially stopping in blue seven, blue seven, and blue seven. . When the winning flag of the BB game is established and the stop operation position at the reference position on the right rotating reel 45 is No6, the blue sevens are three frames after the No6 position of the selected stop table. And 3 is set in advance as the number of sliding frames at the position No. 6. In such a case, at the reference position, the symbol of No. 6 is rotated by 3 frames and the winning symbol of Blue Seven is stopped. Thus, the number of sliding frames at each stop operation position is set in advance in the stop table. And, like the stop table in the case of winning the BB game, a stop table when each winning combination is won and a stop table in the case of losing are prepared in advance, depending on the lottery result of the winning lottery means 70 A predetermined stop table is selected.

Here, the “winning combination” means a combination of winning symbols predetermined for each rotary reel 40 and means a generic name of winning modes for winning. Specifically, the winning combination is, for example, winning when the stop symbols on the predetermined winning active line of the left, middle and right rotating reels 40 are blue seven, blue seven and blue seven, respectively. It means such a combination of winning symbols (winning mode).
(Winning lottery means 70) The winning lottery means 70 performs a lottery for determining whether or not to win based on a predetermined winning rate. Then, when the lottery result by the winning lottery means 70 is a win (also referred to as internal winning), a win flag is established, and during this win flag, a combination of stop symbols of the rotating reel 40 is determined in advance. It is set so that the player wins a prize on the condition that it matches, and the player pays out medals.

As shown in FIG. 2, the winning lottery means 70 is roughly divided into the following means.
(1) Winning random number generator 71
(2) Winning random number extraction means 72
(3) Winning judgment table 73
(4) Winning determination means 74
The winning lottery means 70 is not limited to the above (1) to (4).
(Winning random number generating means 71) The winning random number generating means 71 generates random numbers for lottery within a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal number). Here, the “random number generating means” includes random numbers such as an average sampling method as a soft random number (a random number generating method by repeating n-digit numbers squared and taking out the central n-digit number). And a counter that uses a counter that adds a certain range of numbers one by one at high speed. For example, a counter in which numbers in the range of 0 to 65535 are sequentially repeated about several million times per second can be considered. The “winning random number extraction means” reads the counter number at the timing when the start switch is pressed. In this way, although the “winning random number generation means” does not generate random numbers, the numbers extracted by the “winning random number extraction means” have a distribution like random numbers. In this case, a means for obtaining a number indicating a distribution such as a random number as a result is considered to be included in the “winning random number generating means” or the “winning random number extracting means”.

(Winning Random Number Extracting Unit 72) The winning random number extracting unit 72 extracts a random number generated by the winning random number generating unit 71 under a predetermined condition (for example, operation of the start switch 30). This extracted random number is used as extracted random number data.
(Winning Determination Table 73) The winning determination table 73 has a winning area for each winning item among all the random number areas taken by the winning random number generating means 71.
(Winning determination means 74) The winning determination means 74 is based on the extracted random number data extracted by the winning random number extraction means 72 and the winning ratio data in the winning determination table 73 in the entire region of random numbers taken by the winning random number generating means 71. The winning determination area data including the winning area of each winning item is collated, and the winning corresponding to the winning area to which the extracted random number data belongs is determined.

(Selection means 160) The selection means 160 is for selecting whether the number of winning valid lines or the multiplication rate is set by the operation of the selection switch 161 by the player when the game medium is inserted. Specifically, the selection unit 160 determines which of the line selection switch 162 and the multiplication rate selection switch 163 is in an effective state based on a signal from the selection switch 161, and determines the number of lines determination control unit. The control signal is sent to 120 or the multiplying rate determination control means 150 to select whether to reflect the insertion of the game medium in the setting of the winning effective line or in the setting of the multiplying rate.
(Insertion Number vs. Line Number Storage Table 110) The insertion number vs. line number storage table 110 stores in advance a predetermined number of winning valid lines for each input number of game media. Here, five (n = 5) are set as the number of effective winning lines. Specifically, as the number of inserted game media increases to 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15, the number of each winning effective line is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Is stored in advance. This is because when the number of game media inserted reaches three, the winning effective line is set to one central horizontal line, and when the number of game media inserted reaches six, the winning effective line is the upper horizontal line 1 When a book is additionally set and the number of game media inserted reaches nine, the winning effective line is additionally set as one horizontal line below, and when the number of game media inserted reaches 12, the winning effective line is When one rising slope line is additionally set and the number of game media inserted reaches 15, the winning effective line is additionally set with a right falling slope line.

(Line Number Determination Control Unit 120) The line number determination control unit 120 is used to determine the number of winning winning lines corresponding to the number of inserted game media based on the input number vs. line number storage table 110. It is. Specifically, in the case of the number-of-insertions vs. lines storage table 110 as described above, first, when a winning effective line is selected by the selection switch 161 and the number of inserted gaming media is six, Two of the center and upper horizontal lines are effective.
(Insertion Number / Multiplication Rate Storage Table 140) The insertion number / multiplication rate storage table 140 stores a predetermined multiplication rate in advance for each input number of game media in each winning effective line. Specifically, as the number of inserted game media increases to 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the multiplication rates become 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. 5 (m = 5).

(Multiplication rate determination control means 150) The multiplication rate determination control means 150 calculates a multiplication rate corresponding to the number of inserted game media in each winning effective line based on the insertion number / multiplication rate storage table 140. It is for decision. Specifically, in the case of the number-of-insertion-to-multiplying rate storage table 140 described above, when a multiplying rate is first selected by the selection switch 161 and two game media are inserted, all winnings selected after that are valid. The multiplication rate of the line is determined to be 2.
When a valid pay line is first selected by the selection switch 161, a predetermined number of game media are inserted, and then a multiplication rate is selected by the selection switch 161, a multiplication rate is selected for each effective pay line. Can do. Specifically, when an effective winning line is selected by the selection switch 161 and six game media are inserted, the number of effective winning lines becomes two, the center and upper horizontal lines, and then the selection switch 161 When the multiplication rate is selected, the inserted game medium is used for setting the multiplication rate of the winning line in the center horizontal line until the decision switch 164 is pressed or the maximum of five is reached. Is done. When the determination switch 164 is pressed or a maximum of 5 game media are inserted, the next game media to be inserted is used for setting a winning rate of the winning line that is the upper horizontal line. The

It should be noted that a maximum of 15 game media can be thrown in total depending on the combination of the winning pay line and the multiplication rate. Of course, the value is not limited to this value, and the maximum number of inputs may be set to another value, or may be set so as not to limit the number of inputs.
(Production control device 22) The production control device 22 outputs each production data to the notification device 66 based on a control signal from the main control device 21, and controls the device.
(Operation) Specifically, for example, by operating the line selection switch 162 and depressing the determination switch 164, the player can determine the winning line by inserting the game medium. For example, when the player presses the bet switch 16 nine times and throws nine game balls, the line number determination control means 120 is based on the data of the throw number vs. line number storage table 110. As the winning effective lines, three horizontal lines of the upper, middle and lower stages are effective. Next, by operating the multiplication rate selection switch 163 and pressing the decision switch 164, it is possible to set the multiplication rate based on the number of game media inserted. For example, when two game balls are inserted by the bet switch 16 and the decision switch 164 is pressed, the multiplication rate k of the winning effective line, which is the middle horizontal line, is set to 2, and then one game ball, When the bet switch 16 is inserted and the enter switch 164 is pressed, the pay rate k of the winning line, which is the upper horizontal line, is set to 1, and then three game balls are inserted by the bet switch 16 and determined. When the switch 164 is pressed, the multiplication rate k of the winning active line which is the lower horizontal line is set to 3. As a result, it is possible to set the multiplying rate of the winning effective lines of the horizontal, horizontal and upper horizontal lines as 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Here, the rotary reel 40 is formed on the front side of the symbol display window 13 so as to rotate in the direction in which the symbol 61 moves from top to bottom. Thus, when the player performs a so-called push, the symbol 61 appears in the symbol display window 13 and moves in the symbol display window 13 until it moves on the winning line. It is possible to advance the game according to his / her skill by setting the winning rate of the winning effective line to 3 which is higher than 1 in the upper stage or 2 in the middle stage.

Based on the player's operation, the selection means 160 can freely select the number of winning winning lines and the multiplication rate. Then, the winning line and the multiplication rate can be individually changed depending on the number of game media inserted. As a result, the player can individually obtain the winning line and the winning rate desired by the player by adjusting the number of inserted game media.
A multiplying rate can be set for each winning line. Thereby, the player can make a setting to increase the winning rate of the winning effective line that is easy for the player to stop, and to reduce the winning rate of the winning effective line that is difficult for the player to stop. Specifically, from the viewpoint of ease of pushing the rotating reel 40, those who are good at aligning the winning symbol to the lower horizontal line can make the lower horizontal line an effective winning line. By setting, the multiplication rate of the lower horizontal line can be set to 5 times the maximum. In this way, the player can freely set the multiplication rate for each winning effective line according to his / her preference, habit of stopping operation, skill level, and the like. As a result, the player's intention can be reflected.

(Operation of Gaming Machine 10) Next, an outline of the operation of the normal game of the gaming machine having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
First, in step 101 shown in FIG. 4, whether or not the insertion of the game medium is used for setting the number of effective pay lines through the selection means 160 by the operation of the selection switch 161, that is, the line of the selection switch 161. It is determined whether or not the selection switch 162 is operated and the determination switch 164 is operated. If it is determined by the selection means 160 that the insertion of the game medium is selected to reflect the number of winning valid lines, the process proceeds to the next step 102.
In step 102, the number of effective pay lines based on the operation of the bet switch 16 is set. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 103.

In step 103, it is determined whether or not the start switch 30 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 30 is being operated, the process proceeds to the next step 104.
In step 104, when the start switch 30 is operated, the start switch 30 is turned ON. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 105.
In step 105, a lottery process is performed by the winning lottery means 70. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 106.
In step 106, the rotation of the rotary reel 40 is started. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 107.

In step 107, when the stop switch 50 is operated, the stop switch 50 is turned ON. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 108.
In step 108, rotation stop processing for the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 109.
In step 109, it is determined whether or not the operation of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has been performed. When it is determined that the operation of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has been performed, the process proceeds to the next step 110.
In step 110, it is determined whether or not the winning symbols corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the winning active line while the winning flag is established, that is, whether or not a winning has been won. If it is determined that a prize has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 111.

In step 111, a medal corresponding to the winning symbol is paid out. Then, the game ends.
If it is determined in step 101 that the selection means 160 has not selected to reflect the input of the game medium in the number of winning lines, the process proceeds to the next step 112.
In step 112, the multiplication rate based on the operation of the bet switch 16 is set. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 103.
If it is determined in step 103 that the start switch 30 has not been operated, the process returns to step 101.

If it is determined in step 109 that the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has not been operated, the process returns to step 107.
If it is determined in step 110 that no winning has been made, step 110 is skipped and the game ends.
The lottery process in step 105 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In step 200, the random number is extracted by the winning random number extracting means 72 from the random numbers generated by the winning random number generating means 71 of the winning lottery means 70. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 201.

In step 201, the extracted random number is stored inside the winning random number extraction means 72. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 202.
In step 202, the winning determination means 74 compares the extracted random number with the winning determination area data in the winning determination table 73. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 203.
In step 203, the winning determination means 74 determines in which winning area of the winning determination table 73 the extracted random number is included, and the evaluation of the lottery process is determined. Then, the winning lottery process ends.
In the above-described embodiment, the selection switch 161 and the selection means 160 are used to set the number of winning winning lines and the multiplication rate by using the input of game media by an operation based on the player's own intention. It is not limited to. Specifically, it is not based on the selection switch 161 or the selection means 160 that can be operated by such a player, but instead of them, according to the result of random number lottery using random numbers, the insertion of game media is a winning effective line. It may be provided with a sorting means for sorting which of the number and multiplication rate to set. This distribution means decides by random lottery every time whether one input of game media is reflected in the number of effective pay lines or in the multiplication rate. As a result, the player cannot predict whether the input of the game medium will affect the number of effective winning lines or the multiplication rate, giving the game an unexpectedness and making the game more interesting. it can.

In addition, as described above, the distribution means affects either the number of effective winning lines and the multiplication rate by random number lottery, and also determines the number of winning effective lines and the multiplication rate by random number lottery. It may be set so as to include a so-called off item that does not affect the operation. Thereby, the insertion of the game medium does not affect any items and has a possibility of being wasted, and the excitement level of the player can be increased.
