The first peripheral control unit SC1 is input with left, middle and right buttons 3L, 3C and 3R constituting the player operation switch 30.

  From the main control unit MC to the peripheral control units SC1 and SC2, the direction command generated based on various lottery results in the main control unit MC, such as the big lottery internal lottery result, is sent in a one-way direction. The control units SC1 and SC2 receive a command instructed to be transmitted from the main control unit MC, and exclusively handle production control according to the command. In the main control unit MC, the elapse of the production time specified by the transmission command is managed by a timer, and the end of the symbol variation is falsely recognized. Further, bidirectional data transmission / reception is possible between the peripheral control units SC1 and SC2 as necessary.

  The ROM of the main control unit MC stores a game program including lottery means X for performing a big hit internal lottery. From the main control unit MC, the solenoid SL1 for opening / closing the prize winning opening 8, the solenoid SL2 for opening / closing the petals 82a and 82b of the electric tulips, and various displays on the 7-segment LED display board 90 are controlled. The first peripheral controller SC1 controls a drive source 7m such as a motor coupled to the image effect element 7A and the drive shaft 7d of the actual motion effect element 7B. The left and right speakers 51 and 52 and the lamps 61 to 65 are controlled from the second peripheral control unit SC2.

The ROM of the first peripheral control unit SC1 stores an effect program including effect control means Y for deriving the result of the jackpot internal lottery through the effect on the effect device 70. On this production program, the following means a) to c) are also constructed.
A) Production item selection means y1
The effect item selection means y1 is selected when a predetermined effect command called “barrel effect” is selected, which is one of the reach development type long effects that is won at the jackpot and is frequently selected at the time of the selection. During the production, a specific item (for example, “winning barrel is middle”) is selected from a plurality of selection items (for example, “whether the barrel is left, middle, or right”) regarding the development of the production. For this selection, random numbers defined by the first peripheral controller SC1 are used, and one of the distribution ratios of each third is selected as either “winning barrel is left”, “winning barrel is middle”, or “winning barrel is right”. It is.

B) Player operation selection means y2
The player operation selecting means y2 is based on the operation of the player operation switch 30 (3L, 3C, 3R), and a plurality of selected operations (for example, “a pistol bullet releasing barrel is Or “middle or right”) to select a specific operation (for example, “Tall that releases a pistol bullet is middle”). This choice is left to the player's free will. In addition, the barrel displayed on the image effect element 7A is described as “tal” because it is distinguished from the barrel internally selected by the effect item selection means y1.

C) Evaluation production means y3
When the specific item selected by the production item selection unit y1 matches the specific operation selected by the player operation selection unit y2, the evaluation production unit y3 performs the adaptation evaluation production by the production device 70. A nonconformity evaluation production is performed by the production device 70. This evaluation effect means y3 has a specification that, when a conformity evaluation effect is performed, following the conformity evaluation effect, a privilege on the performance that does not affect the success or failure of the jackpot determined by the main control unit MC is given to the player. The bonus on the effect is that the premier effect appears on the effect device 70 during the jackpot game that is subsequently executed when the winning of the jackpot is derived.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the jackpot-related game processing in the main control unit MC, when the jackpot lottery random number acquired at the time of starting winning matches the winning numerical value and winning the jackpot (S1), A command is transmitted to 1st periphery control part SC1, and the fluctuation | variation of the symbol images DL, DC, DR on the rendering device 70 is started (S2). Subsequently, after a lapse of a predetermined time corresponding to the final stage of the production, a symbol variation stop command for stopping the symbol images DL, DC, DR in the arrangement of the jackpot symbol is transmitted to the first peripheral controller SC1 (S3). Thereafter, after delaying a predetermined time of about several seconds for shifting to the jackpot game, a jackpot game effect command is transmitted to the first peripheral controller SC1 to activate the effect during the jackpot game (S4).

  If the winning is not a big win in step S1, a winning effect command is transmitted to the first peripheral controller SC1 to activate the variation of the symbol images DL, DC, DR on the effect device 70 (S5), and for a predetermined time. After the elapse of time, a symbol variation stop command for stopping the symbol images DL, DC, DR in a sequence of out-of-sequence symbols is transmitted to the first peripheral controller SC1 (S6).

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the jackpot-related effect process in the first peripheral control unit SC1, when the jackpot effect command transmitted from the main control unit MC is received (S7), the effect specified by the command is “barrel”. In the case of a predetermined thing “Success effect” (S8), the hitting barrel is internally selected by the effect item selection means y1 (S9). Subsequently, for example, within a predetermined time such as within 10 seconds, it is determined whether or not the selection by the player operation selection means y2 is made based on the operation of the player operation switch 30 (3L, 3C, 3R) (S10), When the selection is made, it is determined whether or not the hit barrel internally selected in step S9 matches the tar that emits the bullet selected by the player (S11).

  When a match determination is made in step S11, a conformity evaluation effect is made to appeal that the player can hit a barrel by the evaluation effect means y3 (S12). Thereafter, based on the reception of the symbol variation stop command transmitted from the main control unit MC, each symbol image DL, DC, DR is stopped in a sequence of jackpot symbols such as 7-7-7, and the jackpot is determined. Display is performed (S13). Subsequently, based on the reception of the jackpot effect command transmitted from the main control unit MC, a jackpot game effect with a premier video is performed (S14).

  If the player operation switch 30 (3L, 3C, 3R) is not operated in step S10 and there is no selection by the player operation selection means y2, or the hit barrel and the bullet selected by the player selected internally in step S11 In the case where the tar is not matched, a non-conformity evaluation effect is made to appeal that the player has not been able to hit the barrel by the evaluation effect means y3 (S15). Thereafter, based on the reception of the symbol variation stop command transmitted from the main control unit MC, the symbol image DL, DC, DR is displayed in a fixed manner when the symbol images DL, DC, DR are aligned, for example, 7-7-7 (S16). Based on the reception of the jackpot effect command transmitted from the main control unit MC, the jackpot game effect by the normal video is performed (S17).

  In step S7, there is no reception of the jackpot effect command, but if there is a reception effect command received (S18), an output effect that matches the effect time specified by the command is selected (S19), and the main control unit Based on the reception of the symbol variation stop command transmitted from the MC, the arrangement of the symbols that are not aligned is displayed in a fixed manner (S20).

  When it is determined in step S8 that the effect is not “barrel hitting effect”, another jackpot effect is selected (S21), and based on the reception of the symbol variation stop command transmitted from the main control unit MC, each symbol image DL, A jackpot finalizing display in which DC and DR are aligned by 7-7-7, for example, is performed (S22), and then a jackpot game effect by a normal video is performed based on reception of a jackpot effect command transmitted from the main control unit MC. (S23).

  As shown in FIG. 5, the “barrel hitting effect” is a long effect that develops after the two left and right symbol images DL and DR are combined to reach the left, the middle, Display the right three tars and the video of the interviewer character, and display an explanation that says, "Hit the hidden thief of the oiler!" Thereafter, a shuffled video is generated in which the positions of the left, middle, and right barrels are switched multiple times, and the player operation switch 30 is prompted to operate the left, middle, and right buttons 3L, 3C, and 3R. The left button 3L moves the muzzle of the pistol 7p toward the left side, the right button 3R moves the muzzle of the pistol 7p toward the right side, and the middle button 3C instructs to fire a bullet from the directed muzzle.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the hit barrel internally selected matches the tall barrel that shoots bullets from the muzzle directed by the player, a conformity evaluation effect is performed. That is, for example, if the hit barrel is “medium” and the bullet that hits the bullet matches with “medium”, the bullet hits the middle tar, and the character escapes from the middle tar and says “Reward to hit!”. Display and appeal that the player was able to hit the barrel. Following this, a decisive display of jackpot such as 7-7-7 is derived, and “with premier video” is added on the screen, and the normal video is played during the jackpot game from the first round to the final 15 rounds, for example. A premier video that shows gorgeousness, rarity, comfort, etc. is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the internally selected hit barrel does not coincide with the tar that shoots bullets from the muzzle directed by the player, a non-conformity evaluation effect is performed. That is, for example, if the hit barrel is “middle” and the bullet that hits the bullet does not match “left”, a video that the bullet hits on the left tar will be displayed, but a character will appear from the middle tar and say “Reward for life! ”Is displayed and appeals that the player could not hit the barrel. Following this, a decisive display of jackpot such as 7-7-7 is derived. During the jackpot game, normal video is projected.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the non-conformity evaluation effect is that the bullet released by the player toward the left tar is warped, and the pistol on the image snips the middle tar with the display of “Sorry over here!” The character may escape and display “Expect for mercy!” To indicate that the player was unable to hit the barrel.

  On the other hand, when no voltage is applied to the electrodes of the pair of glass substrates, the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules in the polymer layer is random, and light incident from the reel backlights b1 to b6 and the auxiliary lights L1 and L2 is shuttered. It diffuses in the plate S. The diffused light serves as a backlight for the transmissive liquid crystal display panel D, and the image on the transmissive liquid crystal display panel D can be clearly seen, but the actual rotating reels BL, BC, BR are not visible.

  Further, when a voltage is applied to the electrodes of the pair of glass substrates, but a voltage with a power sufficient to completely align the liquid crystal molecules is not applied, the transmissive liquid crystal display panel D and the transparent outer panel 710 are provided. Through this, it is impossible to clearly see the actual rotating reels BL, BC, BR. However, by applying a voltage of a certain level or more, it is possible to display the symbols of the rotating reels BL, BC, BR and the like through the image of the transmissive liquid crystal display panel D.

  FIG. 12 shows the control device CN of the second embodiment. Unlike the first embodiment, the first peripheral controller SC1 is also input with the index sensors 77 of the respective rotating reels BL, BC, BR. Further, from the first peripheral control unit SC1, each stepping of the transmissive liquid crystal display panel D, the shutter plate S, the edge lights E1, E2, the auxiliary lights L1, L2, the reel backlights b1 to b6, and the rotating reels BL, BC, BR. The motor 76 is controlled.

  The jackpot related game process in the main control unit MC is the same as that in FIG. In the jackpot-related effect processing in the first peripheral control unit SC1, the predetermined effect in step S8 in FIG. 4 is a “reel hit effect” for hitting the rotating reels BL, BC, BR with hidden characters, and the process proceeds to step S11 in FIG. “Hit barrel” is read as “hit reel”, and “bullet that shoots” is read as “reel selected by the player”.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the “reel hitting effect” is a long effect that develops after the two left and right symbol images DL and DR are aligned and reach, and the shutter plate S in the front effect element A is not used. Under the transmissive display mode, the left, middle, and right image reels and the video of the interviewer character are displayed on the transmissive liquid crystal display panel D, and an explanation display is displayed with "Hit the reels hidden by Euler!" .

  Thereafter, the transmission mode is set by controlling the voltage applied to the shutter plate S, and the rotating reels BL, BC, BR behind are rotated in a visible state. Next, under the display mode in which the shutter plate S is not transmitted again, the image mark “?” Is displayed on the reel corresponding portion to hide the all-revolution reels BL, BC, BR, and the rotation is stopped in this state. Subsequently, by controlling the partial applied voltage to the shutter plate S, the lower one-quarter area is changed to the transmission mode, the upper three-quarter area remains in the display mode, and the rear rotation Only the lower part of the reels BL, BC, BR is made visible. The character mark is stopped on the front of the hit reel selected internally by the production item selection means y1 and the batten mark is stopped on the front of the other reels. .

  Subsequently, an image that prompts the player to operate the left / middle / right buttons 3L, 3C, 3R on the player operation switch 30 is displayed in the upper area under the display mode. The left button 3L moves the reel selected by the player to the left, the right button 3R moves the reel selected by the player to the right, and the middle button 3C instructs determination of the selection. In this way, instead of the two-step operation in which the reel is first selected and then the decision is instructed, the left / middle / right buttons 3L, 3C, 3R indicate whether the selected reel is “left”, “middle” or “right”. It may be possible to make a selection with a single operation.

  As shown in FIG. 14, when the internally selected hit reel matches the reel selected by the player, for example, if the hit reel is “medium” and the reel selected by the player also matches “medium”, the conformity evaluation effect Is done. Only the reels selected by the player are brightly illuminated by the reel backlights b1 to b6. The other non-selected reel backlights b1 to b6 are turned off. After this selection operation by the player, the rotating reels BL, BC, BR do not rotate and remain in a stopped state, and this can be confirmed from the lower quarter region in the transmission mode.

  From this state, the upper part under the display mode is gradually made transparent from the bottom, and the field of view of the rear rotating reels BL, BC, BR is completely opened so that the stopped mark can be confirmed in the front. Since the character mark appears only on the reels brightly illuminated by the reel backlights b1 to b6, it is appealed that the player was able to hit the reel. Next, in the display mode, “Reward in the middle!” Is displayed, then a decisive display of jackpot such as 7-7-7 is derived, and “Premiere video” is added on the screen, Premiere video is projected during the jackpot game.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the internally selected winning reel does not match the reel selected by the player, for example, when the winning reel is “middle” and the reel selected by the player does not match “left”, Conformity evaluation production is done. Since the field of view is opened and the batten mark is on the reels brightly illuminated by the reel backlights b1 to b6, it is appealed that the player could not hit the reels. Next, under the display mode, a disappointing message “Expect the mercy!” Is displayed, and then a decisive display of jackpot such as 7-7-7 is derived to display a normal video during the jackpot game.

  In the second embodiment, which character mark appears on the front of the actual rotating reels BL, BC, BR by internal selection is controlled by making the shutter plate S completely or partially opaque. Although it is unknown before the selection operation by the player, it is assumed to be unchanged before and after the selection operation by the player, so that the satisfaction of the player when the field of view is opened and the conformity evaluation effect is performed can be increased. Instead of switching between transmission and non-transmission at the back by the shutter plate S, switching may be performed by using a mechanical movable shutter, a movable reel cover, or the like.

  The above “barrel hitting effect” or “reel hitting effect” is not limited to the jackpot winning effect, and may be appropriately displayed in the case of a missed jackpot winning. For example, in this case, As a hitting reel identification information, a virtual numerical value that is always inconsistent with the selection range by the player is substituted, etc., so that the non-conformity evaluation of FIG. 8 or FIG. Let Alternatively, if the player operation matches the internally selected hitting barrel or hitting reel even when the player falls off, a matching evaluation effect is performed and a premier image appears in spots during the matching evaluation effect. After this, the off symbol may be displayed in a definite manner.
