By operating these BET switches, a predetermined effective line is set.

  A C / P switch 14 is provided on the left side of the front surface of the pedestal 10 to switch the credit / payout of medals obtained by the player in the game by a push button operation. By switching the C / P switch 14, medals are paid out from the medal payout opening 15 at the lower front, and the paid-out medals are stored in the medal receiving portion 16.

  On the right side of the C / P switch 14 is a start lever 6 for rotating the reel 3 by a player's operation and starting the change of the symbols in the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R (starting the game). It is mounted so as to be rotatable within an angular range.

  Three stop buttons 7 (a left stop button 7L, a middle stop button 7C, and a stop button 7C for stopping the rotation of the three reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, respectively) at the center of the front surface of the pedestal 10 and below the display screen 5a. Corresponding to the right stop button 7R). Furthermore, speakers 21 </ b> L and 21 </ b> R are provided below the pedestal portion 10 and on the left and right above the medal payout opening 15 and the medal receiving portion 16.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the first stop operation by pressing any one of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R performed when all reels are rotating is performed as the “first stop operation” and then performed. The second stop operation is referred to as “second stop operation”, and the third stop operation performed after “second stop operation” is referred to as “third stop operation”.

  The pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment is provided with three buttons, that is, a left stop button 7L, a middle stop button 7C, and a right stop button 7R. Therefore, the order of these operations is distinguished as follows. The left stop button 7L is abbreviated as “left”, the middle stop button 7C as “middle”, and the right stop button 7R as “right”.

  Then, when indicating the operation order, the abbreviations of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R are arranged from the left in the order of the stop operation. For example, when the left stop button 7L is operated as the “first stop operation”, the middle stop button 7C is operated as the “second stop operation”, and the right stop button 7R is operated as the “third stop operation”, the operation order is “left middle right”. ". The operation sequence of this embodiment includes “six types” of “left middle right”, “left / right middle”, “middle left / right”, “middle right left”, “right left middle”, and “right middle left”.

  FIG. 2 shows a symbol row in which 21 types of symbols represented on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R are arranged. Each symbol is assigned a code number of “0” to “20”, and is stored (stored) in a ROM 32 (shown in FIG. 7) described later as a data table. On each reel 3L, 3C, 3R, "Red 7 (design 91)", "Cherry (design 92)", "Watermelon (design 93)", "Replay (design 94)", "Bell (design 95) A symbol string composed of symbols “,“ BAR (symbol 96) ”and“ blue 7 (symbol 97) ”is shown. Each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is rotationally driven so that the symbol row moves in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

  FIG. 3 shows a display combination specifying table that defines the relationship between the combination of symbols (design combination), the display combination, and the number of payouts. Here, the winning combination is an internal winning combination, a winning combination (with a payout when the internal winning combination is won), or a winning combination (with no payout when an internal winning combination is won) It is a general term for a combination of operating symbols.

  In FIG. 3, the establishment of the first BB is realized by arranging “red 7-red 7-red 7” along the active line. The establishment of the second BB is realized by arranging “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” along the effective line.

  As shown in the bonus operation time table of FIG. 6 to be described later, the payable number of the display combination “first BB” is “465”, and the payable number of the display combination “second BB” is “365”. For example, when the internal winning combination “first BB” is established in the general gaming state, the first BB gaming state is generated. In the first BB gaming state, when the payout number reaches the above-mentioned payable number, the game state shifts to the general gaming state. Further, for example, when the internal winning combination “second BB” is established in the general gaming state, the second BB gaming state is generated. In the second BB gaming state, when the payout number reaches the above-mentioned payable number, the game state shifts to the general gaming state.

  In FIG. 3, the establishment of RB is realized by arranging “bell-bell-replay” along the effective line.

  As shown in the bonus operation time table of FIG. 6 to be described later, the number of possible games and the number of possible winnings of the display combination “RB” are “8”. For example, in the BB (first BB, second BB) general game state, when the internal winning combination “RB” is established, the RB game state is generated. In this RB gaming state, when eight games are completed or eight winnings are established, the game state shifts to the BB general gaming state or the general gaming state.

  In FIG. 3, the establishment of the replay is realized by arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay” along the active line. When the replay is established, the same number of medals as the number of inserted medals are automatically inserted, so that the player can play the next game without consuming the medals. In other words, the replay is a display combination that allows a game to be performed without being made to input the game value when established.

  In addition, the combination of symbols and the number of payouts that will be awarded to watermelon (corresponding to the small part of watermelon), cherry (corresponding to the small part of cherry) and bell (corresponding to the small part of bell) are shown It is as follows.

  FIG. 4 shows a probability lottery table determination table. Here, the number of lotteries includes a random value (prior to step S8 in FIG. 8) acquired prior to the probability lottery process and a lottery value (shown in FIG. 5) set for each internal winning combination. The number of lottery processes (corresponding to the subtraction process) to be performed is shown. In the probability lottery process (step S6 in FIG. 8), an internal winning combination is determined by the subtraction process.

  In the general gaming state, “6” is determined as the number of lotteries, and the probability lottery table for the general gaming state is determined as the probability lottery table. In the internal winning state (here, the state where the first BB or the second BB is carried over), “4” is determined as the number of lotteries, and the probability lottery table for the general gaming state is determined as the probability lottery table. In this case, the first BB and the second BB are not drawn.

  In the general game state during the first BB and the general game state during the second BB, “5” is determined as the number of lotteries, and the probability lottery table for the general game state during BB is determined as the probability lottery table. In the RB gaming state, “3” is determined as the number of lotteries and an RB gaming state probability lottery table is determined as the probability lottery table. Although not shown, in the general game state during BB, when RB is carried over, “4” is determined as the number of lotteries, and RB lottery is not performed.

  FIG. 5 shows a probability lottery table. Here, (1) is a probability lottery table for general gaming states, (2) is a probability lottery table for general gaming states during BB, and (3) is a probability lottery table for RB gaming states. Further, the aforementioned lottery value is set for each internal winning combination in accordance with the number of inserted medals. The random number extraction range is “0 to 16383”, and “lottery value / 16384” corresponds to the winning probability.

  The general gaming state probability lottery table in FIG. 5A is determined in the general gaming state or the internal winning state (carry-over state) as described above. Based on this general gaming state probability lottery table, when the number of inserted medals is "1 or 2", the internal winning combination is 2BB, replay, loser, cherry small combination, watermelon small combination or bell May be determined. In this case, the first BB and RB are not drawn (the set value is “0” or not set). Similarly, when the number of inserted medals is “3”, the 1BB, replay, loser, cherry small combination, watermelon small combination or bell small combination may be determined as the internal winning combination. In this case, the second BB and the RB are not drawn (the lottery value is “0” or not set).

  Here, in consideration of the operating rate of the pachislot machine 1 and the management of the game hall where the pachislot machine 1 is installed, the player may set the medal to be most advantageous when the number of inserted medals is "3". preferable. Therefore, the lottery value for the loss is set so that the number of inserted sheets “3” is smaller than the case of inserted sheets “1 or 2”. Since the winning probabilities of both loses are different, it can be seen that the game characteristics of the first BB and the second BB are different.

  As described above, the probability lottery table for the general gaming state during the BB in FIG. 5B is determined in the general gaming state during the first BB or the general gaming state during the second BB. Based on this BB general gaming state probability lottery table, when the number of inserted medals is “1 or 2”, even when the number of inserted medals is “3”, RB, replay, A loser, cherry hero, watermelon hero or bell hero may be determined.

  The RB gaming state probability lottery table of FIG. 5 (3) is determined in the RB gaming state as described above. Also, the number of medals inserted is limited to “1”. On the basis of this RB gaming state probability lottery table, there may be a case where a loser, a cherry small combination, a watermelon small combination or a bell small combination is determined as an internal winning combination.

  FIG. 6 shows a bonus operating time table. This is used to set various items including the operating flag in the bonus operation check process (shown in FIG. 13).

  When the display combination is the first BB, the first BB operating flag as the operating flag and “465” as the payable number are read and set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 33 (shown in FIG. 7). Will be. When the display combination is the second BB, the second BB operating flag as the operating flag and “365” as the payable number are read out and set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 33. . Further, when the display combination is RB, an RB operating flag as an operating flag, “8” as a possible number of games, and “8” as a possible number of winnings are read out and stored in a predetermined memory of the RAM 33. It will be set to the area. Here, the payable number of sheets is larger when the number of inserted sheets is “3” than when the number of inserted sheets is “1 or 2”. From this difference in the payable number, it can be seen that the game characteristics of the first BB and the second BB are different.

  7 is based on a main control circuit 71 that controls game processing operations in the pachislot machine 1, peripheral devices (actuators) that are electrically connected to the main control circuit 71, and control commands transmitted from the main control circuit 71. A circuit configuration including the liquid crystal display device 5 and a sub-control circuit 72 for controlling the speakers 21L and 21R is shown.

  The main control circuit 71 includes a microcomputer 30 disposed on a circuit board as a main component, and is added with a circuit for random number sampling. The microcomputer 30 includes a CPU 31 that performs a control operation according to a preset program, and a ROM 32 and a RAM 33 that are storage means. The main control circuit 71 also includes a one-game monitoring timer, an automatic stop timer, a throw-in number counter, a payable number counter, a gameable number counter, a winning number counter, etc., which will be described later.

  Connected to the CPU 31 are a clock pulse generator 34 and a frequency divider 35 for generating a reference clock pulse, and a random number generator 36 and a sampling circuit 37 for generating a random number to be sampled. As a means for random number sampling, random number sampling may be executed in the microcomputer 30, that is, on the operation program of the CPU 31. In that case, the random number generator 36 and the sampling circuit 37 can be omitted, or can be left as a backup for the random number sampling operation.

  The ROM 32 of the microcomputer 30 has a probability lottery table (shown in FIG. 5) used for determination of random number sampling performed every time the start lever 6 is operated (start operation), and a probability lottery for determining the probability lottery table. Table determination table (shown in FIG. 4), bonus operation time table (shown in FIG. 6), table group (not shown) for determining the reel stop mode according to the operation of the stop button, sub-control circuit 72 Various control commands (commands) and the like for transmission are stored. The sub control circuit 72 does not input commands and information to the main control circuit 71, and communication is performed in one direction from the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72. Various information is stored in the RAM 33. For example, various flags (for example, a first BB operating flag, a second BB operating flag, an RB operating flag), gaming state information, and the like are stored.

  In the circuit of FIG. 7, the main actuators whose operation is controlled by a control signal from the microcomputer 30 are a BET lamp (1-BET lamp 9a, 2-BET lamp 9b, maximum BET lamp 9c), and an information display section. 18, a hopper (including a drive unit for payout) 40 that stores medals and pays out a predetermined number of medals according to a command from the hopper drive circuit 41, a stepping motor 49L that rotationally drives the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, 49C and 49R.

  Further, a motor drive circuit 39 for driving and controlling the stepping motors 49L, 49C and 49R, a hopper drive circuit 41 for driving and controlling the hopper 40, a lamp driving circuit 45 for driving and controlling the BET lamps 9a, 9b and 9c, and the information display unit 18 A display unit driving circuit 48 that controls the driving of the CPU 31 is connected to the output unit of the CPU 31. Each of these drive circuits receives a control signal such as a drive command output from the CPU 31 and controls the operation of each actuator.

  The main input signal generating means for generating an input signal necessary for the microcomputer 30 to generate a control command includes a start switch 6S, a 1-BET switch 11, a 2-BET switch 12, a maximum BET switch 13, There are a C / P switch 14, a medal sensor 22S, a reel stop signal circuit 46, a reel position detection circuit 50, and a payout completion signal circuit 51.

  The start switch 6S detects the operation of the start lever 6 and generates a start switch signal. The medal sensor 22S detects medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 46 generates a stop signal in response to the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R. The reel position detection circuit 50 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and supplies a signal for detecting the position of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R to the CPU 31. The payout completion signal circuit 51 generates a signal for detecting completion of medal payout when the count value of the medal detection unit 40S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 40) reaches the designated number data.

  In the circuit of FIG. 7, the random number generator 36 generates a random number belonging to a certain numerical range, and the sampling circuit 37 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. Based on the random number sampled in this way and the probability lottery table stored in the ROM 32, the internal winning combination is determined.

  After the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is counted, and the counted value is written in a predetermined area of the RAM 33. From the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, reset pulses are obtained for each rotation, and these pulses are input to the CPU 31 via the reel position detection circuit 50. The count value of the drive pulse counted in the RAM 33 is cleared to “0” by the reset pulse thus obtained. As a result, the RAM 33 stores a count value corresponding to the rotation position within the range of one rotation for each of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

  A symbol table (not shown) is stored in the ROM 32 in order to associate the rotational positions of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reel. In this symbol table, the code numbers (corresponding to symbol positions) that are sequentially given for each fixed rotation pitch of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R on the basis of the rotational position where the reset pulse is generated as described above, and each code A symbol code indicating a symbol provided corresponding to each number is associated.

  Further, a winning symbol combination table (not shown) is stored in the ROM 32. In this winning symbol combination table, a winning symbol combination or winning symbol combination, a winning medal dividend number, and a winning determination code indicating the winning or winning relationship are associated with each other. The winning symbol combination table is referred to when the left reel 3L, the center reel 3C, and the right reel 3R are controlled to stop, and when winning or confirming the completion after all the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are stopped. The

  Based on the lottery process (probability lottery process) based on the random number sampling, the CPU 31 operates the operation signal sent from the reel stop signal circuit 46 at the timing when the player operates the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R, and the selected stop. Based on the table, a signal to stop the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is sent to the motor drive circuit 39.

  If it becomes a stop mode indicating winning or establishment after internal winning, the CPU 31 supplies a payout command signal to the hopper drive circuit 41 and pays out a predetermined number of medals from the hopper 40. At this time, the medal detection unit 40S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 40, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 31. As a result, the CPU 31 stops driving the hopper 40 via the hopper drive circuit 41 and ends the “medal payout process”.

  Thereafter, the CPU 31 transmits a reel stop command to the sub control circuit 72 (step S17).

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not all reels have been stopped (step S18). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S19, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S12.

  Next, the CPU 31 specifies the display combination and the number of payouts based on the display combination specification table of FIG. 3 (step S19). Here, the display combination and the number of payouts are specified based on the code numbers of symbols arranged along the center line 8c of the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R, and a display combination flag for identifying the display combination is set.

  Next, the CPU 31 transmits a display combination command to the sub control circuit 72 (step S20). This display combination command includes information indicating the display combination.

  Next, the CPU 31 credits or pays out medals according to the display combination acquired in step S19 and the number of payouts (step S21).

  FIG. 10 shows details of the medal insertion / start check process (step S3 in FIG. 8) of the main control circuit 71.

  First, the CPU 31 checks whether there is an input from the medal sensor 22S and the BET switches 11 to 13 through the input / output port (step S41).

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not a medal is inserted based on the presence / absence information from the medal sensor 22S acquired in step S41 (step S42). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S43, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S45.

  Next, the CPU 31 updates the inserted number counter for counting the number of inserted medals (step S43). Here, when the number of inserted medals reaches “3”, the insertion is prohibited, and thereafter the credit counter is updated. Thus, the number of inserted games is determined and stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 33.

  Next, the CPU 31 transmits a bet command to the sub control circuit 72 (step S44). This bet command includes information on the number of inserted medals (inserted value).

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether the inserted number is “1” or more based on the inserted number counter updated in step S43 (step S45). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S46, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S41.

  In step S <b> 46, the CPU 31 determines whether the start switch 6 </ b> S is “ON” based on the operation of the start lever 6.

  In step S57, the CPU 31 sets the general gaming state flag to “ON” in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 33.

  FIG. 12 shows the details of the probability lottery process (step S6 in FIG. 8) of the main control circuit 71.

  First, the CPU 31 refers to the probability lottery table determination table of FIG. 4 and determines the number of lotteries and the type of the probability lottery table based on the gaming state acquired in the gaming state monitoring process of FIG. 11 (step S61). For example, when the gaming state is the general gaming state, “6” is determined as the number of lotteries, and the probability lottery table for the general gaming state is determined as the probability lottery table.

  Next, the CPU 31 refers to the probability lottery table determined in step S61, and based on the inserted number acquired in the medal insertion / start check process in FIG. 10 and the random number value acquired in step S4 in FIG. A combination is determined (step S62).

  For example, in the general gaming state, when the inserted number is 1 and the extracted random number value is “30”, first, the lottery value “20” corresponding to cherry is subtracted from the random value “30”. The result is “10”. Since this value “10” is a positive value, the lottery value “500” corresponding to the internal winning combination “Bell” is further subtracted from the value “10”. The subtracted value is “−490”, which is a negative value. Here, a bell small part is selected as the internal winning combination. The lottery value “20” corresponding to the cherry and the lottery value “500” corresponding to the bell are obtained from the general gaming state probability lottery table of FIG. The subtraction process described above is performed in the range of 1 to 6 times (corresponding to the number of lotteries acquired in step S61) until the subtraction result becomes negative, and the sixth subtraction process also has a positive value. In this case, the loss is selected as the internal winning combination.

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the internal winning combination determined in step S62 is the first BB, the second BB, or the RB (step S63). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S64, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S65.

  In step S64, the CPU 31 sets the first BB, the second BB, or the RB as a carryover combination. Specifically, the first BB carryover flag, the second BB carryover flag, or the RB carryover flag is set to “on” in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 33.

  In step S65, the CPU 31 determines the logical sum of the internal winning combination determined in step S62 and the carryover combination set in S64 as the winning combination.

  FIG. 13 shows details of the bonus operation check process (step S23 in FIG. 8) of the main control circuit 71.

  First, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the display combination acquired in step S19 in FIG. 8 is the first BB, the second BB, or the RB (step S71). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S72, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG.

  In step S72, the CPU 31 sets setting items such as a first BB operating flag, a second BB operating flag, or an RB operating flag based on the bonus operating time table of FIG. For example, when the display combination acquired in step S19 in FIG. 8 is the first BB, the first BB operating flag of the operating flag item is set to “on” in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 33, and similarly, the number of payable sheets The item “465” is set in the payable sheet counter. In addition, the number of possible games and the number of possible winnings are not set. It should be noted that the number of possible games and the number of possible winnings are set in a predetermined number of possible games counter and a number of possible winning counters, respectively. Further, when the display combination is the second BB, the number of possible games and the number of possible winnings are not set. When the display combination is RB, the number of payouts is not set.

  Next, the CPU 31 clears the first BB, the second BB, or the RB as the carryover combination (step S73). Specifically, the first BB carryover flag, the second BB carryover flag, or the RB carryover flag set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 33 is set to “off”.

  FIG. 14 shows details of the bonus end check process (step S24 in FIG. 8) of the main control circuit 71.

  First, the CPU 31 refers to a predetermined storage area of the RAM 33 and determines whether or not the RB operation flag is “ON” (step S81). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S82, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S86.

  In step S 82, the CPU 31 subtracts “1” from the value of the above-mentioned number-of-games possible counter, and if a winning is achieved, further subtracts “1” from the value of the above-mentioned number-of-possible winning counter.

  Next, the CPU 31 refers to the above-described possible game number counter and possible winning number counter to determine whether or not at least one of the possible game number and the possible winning number is “0” (step S83). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S84, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S85.

  In step S84, the CPU 31 performs an RB end process. Specifically, the RB operating flag, the number of possible games and the number of possible winnings are cleared.

  In step S85, the CPU 31 refers to a predetermined storage area of the RAM 33 and determines whether or not the first BB operating flag or the second BB operating flag is “ON”. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S86, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG.

  In step S86, the CPU 31 subtracts the value of the aforementioned payable sheet counter according to the payout number acquired in step S21 of FIG.

  Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the payout possible number is “1 or more” based on the subtraction process in step S86 (step S87). When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S88, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S89.

  In step S88, the CPU 31 performs BB end processing. Specifically, the BB operating flag and the payable number are cleared. Here, when the RB operation flag is “ON”, the above-described processing at the end of RB is included.

  In step S89, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the display combination acquired in step S19 of FIG. 8 is RB. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to step S90, and when “NO”, the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG.

  In step S90, the CPU 31 sets the RB operating flag of the operating flag item to “ON” in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 33 based on the bonus operating time table of FIG. “8” is set in the possible number of games counter, and “8” in the item of possible winning times is set in the possible winning times counter.

  Next, the CPU 31 clears the RB as a carryover combination (step S91). Specifically, the RB carryover flag set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 33 is set to “off”.

  According to the pachislot machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention as described above, at least the reels 3L, 3C, 3R and the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R have the 1BB symbol combination "red 7-red 7-red 7". When "" is displayed, various setting items are set based on the bonus operation time table of FIG. 6, and the main control circuit 71 as the first operation means for operating the first BB and the reels 3L, 3C, 3R When the 2BB symbol combination “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is displayed on the display windows 4L, 4C, 4R, various setting items are set based on the bonus operation time table of FIG. And a main control circuit 71 as a second actuating means to be actuated. In the general gaming state probability lottery table of FIG. 5A, the number of inserted medals is "1" based on the operation of the bet switches 11-13. When it is decided to be “2” When the lottery value of the internal winning combination “1BB” is defined as “0” and the number of inserted medals is determined to be “3” based on the operation of the bet switches 11 to 13, the internal winning combination “No. The lottery value of “2BB” is defined as “0”. This configuration corresponds to an embodiment of the present invention according to claim 1.

  With this configuration, the lottery value of the internal winning combination “first BB” or the lottery value of the internal winning combination “second BB” is defined as “0” in accordance with the number of medals inserted by operating the bet switches 11 to 13. As a result, the gameability of the BB changes depending on whether the number of inserted medals is “1” or “2” and the number of inserted medals is “3”. Is expected. In addition, since a desired gameability can be selected by a medal insertion operation, it is expected that the player will be an interesting pachislot machine.

  In addition, according to the pachislot machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, at least the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R display the windows 4L, 4C, and 4R on the display window 4L, 4C, and 4R. When “is displayed, various setting items are set based on the bonus operation time table of FIG. 6, and the main control circuit 71 is provided as an advantageous state operation means for operating the first BB. The game state probability lottery table shows the lottery value of the internal winning combination “first BB” when the number of inserted medals is determined to be “1” or “2” based on the operation of the bet switches 11 to 13. The lottery value of the internal winning combination “first BB” when the number of inserted medals is determined to be “3” based on the operation of the bet switches 11 to 13 is defined as “65”. Yes. This configuration corresponds to an embodiment of the present invention according to claim 2.

  With this configuration, the player can select the presence / absence of the game having the first BB by the medal insertion operation, so that the game is diversified and is expected to be an interesting pachislot machine for the player.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where BB (first BB, second BB) is used as a display combination having different payout numbers and winning probabilities depending on the number of inserted medals has been described. ", The display combination" Bell ", the display combination" Watermelon ", etc., the same effect may be obtained.

  Conventionally, in a simulation test and a test firing test of the pachislot machine 1, a ball exit test has been performed for each thrown number in order to determine whether or not it conforms to the number of balls controlled by a predetermined law. In this test, it is not assumed that the player is pushing or removing, and either all internal winning combinations will be won or all internal winning combinations will be established. Even if the number of balls in the case falls within the allowable range stipulated by the prescribed law, the number of balls in the case of “1” or “2” is greater than the actual game, It may exceed the allowable range. On the other hand, according to the embodiment described above, the lottery value of the first BB when the number of inserted sheets is “1” or “2” is set to “0”, and the lottery of the second BB when the number of inserted sheets is “3”. By setting the value to “0” and “no lottery”, the upper limit of the payout number of BB (first BB, second BB) is regulated according to the number of inserted sheets. With the restriction on the upper limit of BB, the possibility that the number of balls at the time of the test exceeds the expected value is reduced, and it is expected that a more accurate ball testing can be performed. In other words, by setting the lottery value corresponding to a predetermined internal winning combination such as BB to “0”, the wave of the ball at the time of the test more accurately reflects the wave of the ball at the actual game It is expected to be able to carry out a proper appearance test.

  From such a viewpoint, the lottery value of BB (including the first BB and the second BB) when the number of inserted sheets is “1” and the lottery value of BB when the number of inserted sheets is “2” are set to “0”. It is good also as composition to do. For example, when one input value (for example, “1 sheet” or “2 sheets”) is determined by the main control circuit 71 as input value determining means, the first symbol combination “red 7-red 7-red” Both the number of random values for which the internal winning combination relating to “7” is determined and the number of random values for which the internal winning combination relating to the second symbol combination “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” are determined are “0”. Similarly, if another input value (for example, “3”) is determined, the internal winning combination related to the first symbol combination “Red 7-Red 7-Red 7” is determined. A probability lottery table that prescribes “n (positive integer)” for both the number of numerical values and the number of random values for which the internal winning combination relating to the combination of the second symbol “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is determined. It may be provided. This configuration eliminates the possibility of operating a gaming state in which a large number of medals are paid out in a short period of time (for example, BB). Is expected to avoid.

  In addition, when the expected value for each inserted number is the same or within a predetermined range close to the same, the player can determine the inserted number more flexibly. Further, the expected value may not be higher as the number of inserted sheets is larger.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the first BB and the second BB are used as the gaming state advantageous to the player has been described. CT "), multiple types of replay time (hereinafter referred to as" RT ") or multiple types of assist time (hereinafter referred to as" AT "), or multiple types of RB, multiple types of CT, multiple types of RT, multiple types of The same effect may be obtained even if any combination of ATs (for example, a combination of RB and CT) is used. The combination is not limited to two of the plurality of types, and may be one type. For example, an RB operation means for operating the RB gaming state, and a probability lottery table in which the lottery value when the number of inserted sheets is “1” is “0” and the lottery value when the number of inserted sheets is “3” is “100” are stored. Probability lottery table storage means may be provided. Alternatively, the combination is not limited to two of the plurality of types, and may be a combination of three or more types.

  Further, conventionally, a first probability lottery table used when the number of inserted medals is “1” or “2” and a second probability lottery table used when the number of inserted medals is “3”. Since it was difficult for the player to recognize the advantage of playing a game by inserting "1" or "2" medals, the number of inserted "1" or "2" The number of internal winners determined by “Sheet” was very small, and it was difficult to efficiently manage the development man-hours and development costs of the probability lottery table. On the other hand, according to the above-described embodiment, for example, in the general game state probability lottery table of FIG. 5, the lottery value of BB (second BB) in the case of the inserted number “1” or “2” is “ 28 "or" 56 ", similarly, the lottery value of BB (first BB) is" 0 ", the payable number of sheets is" 365 ", while the number of inserted sheets is" 3 "of BB (first BB) The lottery value is “65”, the lottery value of BB (second BB) is “0”, and the payout possible number is “465”. With this configuration, the player is expected to use different games depending on the insertion operation regardless of whether the insertion number is “1” or “2” or the insertion number “3”. It is expected that the probability lottery table for “1” or “2” betting that tends to become effective will be used effectively, and that game machines will be developed efficiently.
