  In this embodiment, the light source 65A and the rotating reflector 64 of the rotating lamp device 60 are both covered with a colored cover 63 around the periphery. Since the irradiation light from the light source 65A is transmissive and passes through the colored cover 63, the irradiation light can be colored with the colored color of the cover 63. Since the light source 65A and the rotary reflector 64 are covered with the cover 63, the rotational movement of the rotary reflector 64 can be made inconspicuous depending on the degree of color intensity of the cover 63. . Thereby, in the lighting rotation state, it is possible to make it appear that only the colored irradiation light rotates to the surroundings, and it is possible to produce an effect with a higher notification ability than in the turn-off rotation state. Then, in the turn-off rotation state, it is possible to make the surrounding people aware of the state of rotation of the rotating reflector 64 more difficult than the turn-on rotation state. Therefore, if it is not a person who is carefully observing the rotating lamp device 60, it is possible to achieve a so-called performance mode with a low so-called notification capability that increases the possibility of overlooking that the rotating light is turned off. In this way, it is possible to produce effects with different notification capabilities.

Here, although not particularly illustrated, only the light source 65A of the rotary lamp device 60 is translucent and covered with a colored cover 63, and the rotating reflector 64 rotates around the cover 63. It may be formed like this. That is, the exposed rotary reflecting plate 64 rotates around the lamp 65 covered with the cover 63. If formed in this way, since the rotary reflector 64 is not covered with the cover 63, the movement of the rotary reflector 64 rotating around the cover 63 can be seen directly from the surroundings, Even with a simple rotation, it becomes possible to observe.

  In other words, the reel unit 20 is driven on the condition that a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game when the game medal is inserted or the bet switch 43 is inserted or when the start switch 44 is operated at the time of “replay”. Then, the three rotary reels 23 start to rotate. Thereafter, when one of the stop switches 45 is operated, the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 23 is stopped. When all three stop switches 45 have been operated, all the rotations of the three rotary reels 23 are stopped. At this time, a predetermined number of medals are paid out through the hopper unit 5 when a predetermined symbol is stopped on the winning pay line drawn in the symbol display window 31A. Instead of paying out game medals, credit may be given.

  When winning a prize, a game medal will be paid out, and a small role winning will be given to the player (if this small role wins, a small role will be awarded). Special wins that give players even greater profits than wins (if this special win wins, a special win will be awarded), and when winning, no game medals will be paid out, but a new game medal will be inserted 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 “winning flag” is a memory for storing the fact that the lottery result of the winning lottery means 460 is won when a predetermined winning combination is won. The small winning combination flag is established, and when the lottery result is the special winning, the special winning flag is established. While the special winning flag is established, the combination of the stopped symbols of the rotating reel 23 of the reel unit 20 is a predetermined winning symbol (for example, three “7” s on the winning line). ), And the player is allowed to play a special game that is advantageous to the player. When the special winning flag is established by lottery, but the combination of the stop symbols of the rotating reel 23 does not match the winning symbol, the right to establish the winning flag is set to be carried over to the subsequent games. 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.

(Kick-off setting and pull-in setting) As a stop control for controlling the rotation and stop of the rotary reel 23, even if the player tries to stop the combination of winning symbols by operating the stop switch 45 at a predetermined position, the rotary reel 23 The kick setting is set so that the winning symbol does not align at the predetermined position, and the retractable symbol located on the upstream side of the rotation of the rotary reel 23 by the predetermined number of symbols from the state where the stop switch 45 is operated. In addition, when a winning symbol for which a winning flag is established is included, a pull-in setting is set so that the winning symbol is pulled to a predetermined position and stopped.
Whether or not the corresponding winning symbol can be aligned on the winning line while one of the winning flags is established depends on the timing of the stop switch 45 when the rotational speed of the rotating reel 23 is constant. is there. Specifically, since the rotary reel 23 is set to stop within 190 ms after operating the stop switch 45, it can be stopped as it is after operating the stop switch 45 or can be stopped within 190 ms. Corresponds to the retractable symbols on the circumference of the rotating reel 23, for example, among the four retractable symbols that continue from the symbol above the symbol at the stop position (a total of five symbols including the symbol at the stop position). When the winning symbol to be included is included, the time until the stop is delayed, and the rotating reel 23 pulls the winning symbol on the winning line and stops. On the other hand, if the corresponding winning symbol is not included in the symbols of the stop position and the four symbols that can be pulled in (total of five symbols), the winning symbol is displayed on the winning line. It cannot be pulled in and stopped. In addition, when no winning flag is established, it is set so that winning determination of a winning symbol is impossible. In other words, when none of the winning flags is established, the winning symbol is stopped so as to stop at a position where the winning symbols are not aligned on the predetermined winning effective line.

Here, as a game controlled by the game control means 450, a normal game that is generally executed on the condition that a game medium is inserted, and a transfer right is obtained by winning a predetermined winning combination during the normal game, A special symbol that can give a player a greater profit than a normal game when compared with a game period based on the same number of games when winning and can be transferred by becoming a predetermined symbol display mode A game and a replay time game in which a winning probability of a re-game that can be played again without newly inserting a game medium is set.
Special games are so-called big bonus games that are set to increase the possibility that the number of game medals as game media to be finally paid out to the player will be higher than that of normal games. is there.

In addition, the replay time game is a game in which the winning probability of the replay is set high for a predetermined number of games when a predetermined winning combination is won.
The game control means 450 includes a normal game control means 451 for controlling normal games, a special game control means 452 for controlling special games, and a replay time game control means (RT game control means for controlling replay time games). 453).
(Normal Game Control Unit 451) The normal game control unit 451 is for causing a normal game to be performed.
That is, when the start switch 44 is operated on the condition that the medal is inserted or the bet switch 43 is inserted, or on the condition that a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game at the time of “replay (replay)”, the reel unit 20 is driven. The three reels 23 start to rotate. Thereafter, when one of the stop switches 45 is operated, the rotation of the corresponding rotating reel 23 is stopped. When all three stop switches 45 have been operated, all the rotations of the three rotary reels 23 are stopped. At this time, a predetermined number of medals are paid out via the hopper unit 5 when a predetermined symbol is stopped on the winning line of the display window 12. In addition, you may credit instead of paying out a medal.

  When winning a prize, a game medal will be paid out, and a small role winning will be given to the player (if this small role wins, a small role will be awarded). Special wins that give players even greater profits than wins (if this special win wins, a special win will be awarded), and when winning, no game medals will be paid out, but a new game medal will be inserted 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 460 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 symbols of the rotating reel 23 of the reel unit 20 is a predetermined winning symbol (for example, three “7” s on the winning line). ), And the player is allowed to play a special game that is advantageous to the player. When the special winning flag is established by lottery, but the combination of the stop symbols of the rotating reel 23 does not match the winning symbol, the right to establish the winning flag is set to be carried over to the subsequent games. 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.

  Whether or not the corresponding winning symbol can be aligned on the winning line while one of the winning flags is established depends on the timing of the stop switch 45 when the rotational speed of the rotating reel 23 is constant. is there. Specifically, since the rotary reel 23 is set to stop within 190 ms after operating the stop switch 45, it can be stopped as it is after operating the stop switch 45 or can be stopped within 190 ms. In the retractable symbols on the circumference of the rotating reel 23, for example, in the four retractable symbols continuous from the symbols on the symbol at the stop position, that is, in all five symbols including the symbols at the stop position, When the corresponding winning symbol is included, the time until the stop is delayed, and the rotating reel 23 pulls the winning symbol on the winning line and stops. On the other hand, if there is no corresponding winning symbol in the symbols of the stop position and the four symbols that can be drawn, that is, all five symbols, the winning symbol is on the winning line. I can't stop by pulling in. In addition, when none of the winning flags is established, the winning symbol of the winning symbol is set so as not to be confirmed. That is, when none of the winning flags is established, the kicking setting causes the so-called kicking in which the winning symbol is stopped at a position where the winning symbols are not aligned on the predetermined winning effective line.

(Special Game Control Unit 452) The special game control unit 452 is for causing the player to perform a special game advantageous based on the lottery result of the lottery unit. The special game is roughly divided into the following games. It is normal to have a pull-in setting that can be pulled in from a pull-in range of a predetermined range of 4 symbols (5 symbols including the symbol) from the top of the symbol at a predetermined position at the operation timing of the stop switch 45. This is the same as that described in the game control means 451.
(1) Specific introduction game (BB game)
(2) Specific game (RB game)
(3) Specified winning game (JAC game)
It is to be noted that a specific game, for example, an RB game, is won in a specific introductory game, for example, a BB game, when a prize is awarded within a predetermined condition range (specifically, within a predetermined number of acquired game medals). But it is set to be done. Of course, the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and it may be set so as to be performed independently even when not in the BB game. The specific winning game, so-called JAC game, is played during the RB game. Further, the special game is not limited to the games (1) to (3) described above.

Specifically, in a normal game, although not shown, for example, when three symbols such as “7” are arranged on the winning line, for example, 15 medals are paid out through the hopper unit 5. At this time, the BB game is started.
(RT game control means 453) The RT game control means 453 controls a replay time game. Even during the replay time game, the lottery for special games by the winning lottery means 460 continues. When the right to shift to a special game is obtained during the replay time game, when a so-called special game winning flag is established, the rotating lamp device 60 is configured to execute a turn-off rotation state. Yes.

(Winning lottery means 460) The winning lottery means 460 performs a lottery for determining whether or not to win based on a predetermined winning rate. When the lottery result by the winning lottery means 460 is a win (also referred to as an internal winning), a win flag is established. The game is set on the condition that the game matches, and the player is given a medal or a special game.
(Production Data Storage Unit 471) The production data storage unit 471 is for storing the production data of the notification unit 495. Specifically, for example, sound generated from the speaker device 35 of the notification means 495 at the time of winning a BB game, data such as lighting and blinking time and order of the display means 497, and a displayed pattern and character string Is stored. Needless to say, the contents of the effect to be stored are not limited to these, and may be a sound stored in advance, various notification means such as vibration, lighting of other lamps, and the like.

(Production control unit 472) The production control unit 472 outputs each production data from the production data storage unit 471 to the notification unit 495 based on a control signal from the control device 20 or the like, and controls the device. belongs to.
Specifically, when a winning game such as a bonus game or other small role is highly likely to be established, or when the winning symbol is aligned on a predetermined winning active line while the predetermined winning flag is established, the player has won a prize. Sometimes, based on the effect information from the effect data storage means 471, a lamp at a predetermined position on the display means 497 is turned on or blinked, or a predetermined electronic sound is generated from the speaker device 35.

(Drive Motor Control Unit 410) The drive motor control unit 410 is for controlling the rotation of the drive motor 68 of the rotating lamp device 60 based on a command from the game control unit 450.
The drive motor control means 410 is configured to rotate the rotating reflecting plate 64 by the rotating device 350 when a right to shift to a special game is obtained, or when a so-called BB game winning flag is established.
Then, the drive motor control means 410 receives the right to shift to a special game, that is, when a special game win flag is established, whether in a normal game or a replay time game. Is configured to rotate the rotating reflector 64 by the rotating device 350 by rotating the drive motor 68.

Here, the drive motor control means 410, when the winning flag of the BB game is established, causes the rotation reflector 350 to rotate the rotating reflector 64 at a predetermined number of rotations (for example, 1/2 rotation, 1 rotation). 2) or a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 second, 0.2 second, 0.5 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, or 5 seconds). It may be set so that it is rotated for a predetermined time) and then stopped.
(Light source control means 420) The light source control means 420 is for controlling the lighting state and extinguishing state of the lamp 65 as the light source 65A based on a command from the game control means 450.
The light source control means 420 can implement a turning rotation state in which the rotating reflector 64 is rotated while the light source 65A is turned on, and a turn-off rotation state in which the rotating reflector 64 is rotated while the light source 65A is turned off. Is formed.

When the light source control means 420 obtains the right to shift to the special game during the normal game based on the control command from the game control means 450, that is, when the winning flag for the special game is established during the normal game The light source 65A is turned on. Accordingly, in such a case, it is possible to implement a lighting rotation state in which the light source 65A is turned on while the drive motor 68 is rotated and the rotating reflector 64 is rotated by the rotating device 350.
Further, the light source control means 420 receives a special game transfer right during the replay time game (RT game) based on the control command from the game control means 450, that is, during the replay time game. When the game winning flag is established, the light source 65A is turned off. Thereby, in such a case, it is possible to implement a turn-off rotation state in which the light source 65A is turned off while the drive motor 68 is rotated and the rotating reflection plate 64 is rotated by the rotating device 350.

As described above, the light source 65A and the drive motor 68 of the rotating device 350 are formed to have different power sources as shown in FIG. Each individual power supply is disposed inside the power supply unit 4. The light source 65A is controlled by the light source control means 420, the drive motor 68 of the rotation device 350 is controlled by the drive motor control means 410, and the light source 65A and the rotation device 350 are controlled separately. Yes.
(Operation of gaming machine S)
Next, an outline of the game operation of the gaming machine having the above-described configuration will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

In step 111, a lottery process is performed by the winning lottery means 460. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 112.
In step 112, control processing of the rotating lamp device 60 is performed. Specifically, when a special game winning flag is established, a turn-on rotation state and a turn-off rotation state are determined and executed according to the game state. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 113.
In step 113, the rotation of the rotary reel 23 is started. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 114.

In step 114, when the stop switch 45 is operated, the stop switch 45 is turned ON. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 115.
In step 115, rotation stop processing for the rotary reel 23 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 116.
In step 116, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 45 corresponding to the three rotary reels 23 has been operated. If it is determined that the stop switch 45 corresponding to the three rotary reels 23 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step 117.
In step 117, it is determined whether or not the winning symbols corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the winning effective line while the winning flag is established, that is, whether or not the winning symbol is won. If it is determined that a prize has been won, the process proceeds to the next step 118.

In step 118, a predetermined number of game medals corresponding to the winning symbol are paid out. Then, the game ends.
If it is determined in step 116 that the stop switch 45 corresponding to the three rotary reels 23 has not been operated, the process returns to step 114.
If it is determined in step 117 that no prize has been won, the process skips step 118 and the game ends.
The control process of the rotating lamp device 60 in step 112 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in step 300, it is determined whether or not a special game winning flag is established. If it is determined that the special game winning flag is established, the process proceeds to the next step 301.
In step 301, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is a normal game. If it is determined that a normal game is being played, the process proceeds to the next step 302.
In step 302, the rotating lamp device 60 performs a lighting rotation state in which the rotating reflector 64 is rotated in a state where the lamp 65 is lit. Then, the process ends.
If it is determined in step 300 that the special game winning flag has not been established, the processing ends.

If it is determined in step 301 that the game is not in a normal game, the process proceeds to the next step 303.
In step 303, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is a replay time game. If it is determined that the current game state is a replay time game, the process proceeds to the next step 304.
In step 304, the rotating lamp device 60 is put into a turn-off rotation state in which the rotating reflector 64 is rotated with the lamp 65 turned off. Then, the process ends.
If it is determined in step 303 that the current gaming state is not a replay time game, the process ends.

The rotation stop process of the rotating reel 40 in step 115 will be described with reference to FIG.
In step 400, it is determined whether or not the kick setting has been achieved for a predetermined symbol. This kick-off setting is set at all stop operation timings so as not to cause an unfair winning on the basis of the lottery result of the winning lottery means 460 on all winning active lines. And when it determines with the setting of kicking of a predetermined symbol not being achieved, it progresses to the following step 401.
In step 401, the rotary reel 23 is rotated by one symbol. That is, kicking is performed for one symbol. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 402.

In step 402, it is determined whether or not the number of symbols rotated by the rotary reel 23 by one symbol described above corresponds to the fourth symbol after the stop switch 45 is operated. Then, after operating the stop switch 45, if the number of symbols shifted by rotating the rotary reel 23 by one symbol is the fourth, the process proceeds to the next step 403.
In step 403, the rotation of the rotary reel 23 is stopped. Thereby, the operation of the gaming machine S from the medal insertion to the rotation stop of the rotary reel 23 is completed.
If it is determined in step 400 that the predetermined symbol kick setting has been achieved, the process proceeds to the next step 404.

In step 404, it is determined whether or not the drawing is set for any of the symbols. If it is determined that the drawing is set for any of the symbols, the process proceeds to the next step 405.
In step 405, it is determined whether the pull-in setting has been achieved. If it is determined that the pull-in setting has been achieved, the process proceeds to the next step 403.
If it is determined in step 404 that no drawing is set for any symbol, the process proceeds to step 403.
If it is determined in step 405 that the pull-in setting has not been achieved, the process proceeds to step 401.

In step 402, after the stop switch 45 is operated, if the number of symbols shifted by rotating the rotary reel 23 by one symbol is not the fourth, the process returns to step 400.
In the embodiment described above, the stop reel 23 stop process has been described in steps 401 to 405. In this example, the condition is checked from the drawing range symbols that are close to the reference position. It is an example of minimum pull-in stop control. On the contrary, it is good also as what is called maximum pulling-in stop control which investigates conditions from the pattern far from a reference position among drawing-in range symbols.
Furthermore, for example, a so-called table stop control method may be used in which the stop position of the rotary reel 23 is determined according to a predetermined table at the timing when the stop switch 45 is pressed. This table stop control has a plurality of tables based on the presence / absence of a winning flag and a winning symbol in which a winning flag is established, and a table corresponding to the gaming situation is appropriately selected from the plurality of tables. .

Even in the table stop control, when the winning flag is established, the stop position is determined in advance on the table so that the symbols corresponding to the winning flag are aligned on the winning line, so-called pull-in setting. It has a kind of. Also, when the winning flag is not established, the stop position is determined in advance on the table so that other winning symbols are not aligned on the winning line, and it has a kind of so-called kick setting. is there.
(Operation) In the present embodiment, when the light source 65A is turned on, the rotating reflector 64 rotates with the light source 65A turned on. This is a prominent performance, and can clearly notify the surrounding people of the lighting rotation state. On the other hand, in the turn-off rotation state, only the rotary reflector 64 rotates with the light source 65A turned off, so that the irradiation light from the rotary reflector 64 is not irradiated.

In this way, the two rotating lamp devices 60 can produce two effects with different notification modes, can produce various effects, and are rich from monotonous effects to complex and diverse fun. Production is possible.
It should be noted that it is more difficult for the surrounding person to notice the notification state in the turn-off rotation state in which only the rotary reflector 64 rotates than in the lighting rotation state. If it is not a person who is carefully observing the rotating lamp device 60, it is possible to achieve a production mode that increases the possibility of overlooking.
And this form can grasp | ascertain that the right to transfer to a special game is obtained by observing rotation of the rotation reflecting plate 64. FIG.

Then, when the right to shift to the special game is obtained during the normal game, the lighting rotation state in which the light source 65A is lit while rotating the rotating reflector 64 is performed. Thereby, it can be surely understood that the right to shift to the special game is obtained.
Then, when the right to shift to the special game is obtained during the replay time game, a turn-off rotation state in which the rotating reflector 64 is rotated with the light source 65A turned off is performed. Since the light source 65A is turned off, it is less noticeable than when the light source 65A is turned on, and if the rotating reflector 64 is not observed carefully, the player can be notified without notice. By this turn-off rotation state, it is possible to make a notice that is less conspicuous than the turn-on rotation state.

Since the light source 65A and the rotation device 350 have different power sources, it is easy to turn on and off the light source 65A and the rotation device 350 independently and control them separately. be able to.
In this embodiment, when the right to shift to special games is obtained during the replay time game, that is, when the winning flag for special games is established, the rotary reflector 64 is continuously turned on with the light source 65A turned off. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the light-off rotation state, the drive motor control means 410 does not rotate the rotating reflector 64 continuously, but makes only one rotation, one-half rotation, or one-fourth rotation. The rotation angle may be set so that the rotation is stopped and then the rotation is stopped. Alternatively, in such a case, the rotating reflector 64 is not continuously rotated, but is rotated only for a short time such as 0.1 second, 0.2 second, 0.5 second, 1.0 second, etc. Thereafter, the rotation may be set to stop.

That is, during the replay time game, when the special game win flag is established, the rotating reflector 64 is rotated and stopped for a slight rotation angle or for a short time with the light source 65A turned off. . As a result, the rotating reflector 64 can be rotated and stopped slightly for a moment in the turn-off rotation state, and if it does not have high attention and observation power, it will be recognized. It is possible to produce an effect that cannot be performed.
Further, the timing for slightly rotating the rotating reflector 64 is set to the timing when the start switch 44 is pressed or the stop operation timing of the start switch 44 that performs the first, second, or third stop operation. Also good. As a result, it is possible to produce an effect in which such a slight rotation cannot be recognized unless there is a high level of attention and observation.

(Second form)
This embodiment is different in the control processing of the rotary lamp device 60 of the first embodiment, and the other configurations and operational effects are the same. In the following, the main differences from the first embodiment will be described.
The gaming machine S according to the present embodiment is characterized in that the rotating lamp device 60 is formed by the rotating device 350 so that the rotating reflector 64 can be rotated at different rotational speeds.
The game control means 450 rotates the rotary reflector 64 by the rotation device 350 at a different rotation speed depending on the type of winning combination when a predetermined winning combination is won as a result of the lottery means 460. .

Specifically, in this embodiment, when a special game winning flag is established as in the first embodiment, a turn-on rotation state and a turn-off rotation state are generated depending on whether the game is a normal game or a replay time game. Without doing anything, the rotational speed of the drive motor 68 is changed to a preset rotational speed depending on the type of the winning combination won.
The light source control means 420 turns on the lamp 65 as the light source 65A when any winning flag is established.
The drive motor control unit 410 rotates the drive motor 68 at a predetermined rotation speed according to the type of established winning flag. Specifically, when the winning flag for the special game is established, the rotational speed of the drive motor 68 is controlled so that the rotational speed of the rotary reflector 64 is 60 revolutions / minute. When the winning flag for the winning combination “BELL” is established, the rotational speed of the drive motor 68 is controlled so that the rotational speed of the rotary reflector 64 is 40 revolutions / minute. Further, when the winning flag of the winning combination “watermelon” is established, the rotational speed of the drive motor 68 is controlled so that the rotational speed of the rotary reflector 64 is 30 revolutions / minute. Further, when the winning flag of the winning combination “Cherry” is established, the rotational speed of the drive motor 68 is controlled so that the rotational speed of the rotary reflecting plate 64 becomes 20 revolutions / minute.

(Operation of gaming machine S)
12 and 14 described in the first embodiment have the same flow in this embodiment. Then, the control process of the rotating lamp device 60 in step 112 of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 15 shows a flow of control processing of the rotating lamp device 60 of the gaming machine S according to the second embodiment.
First, in step 520, it is determined whether or not any winning flag is established. If it is determined that any winning flag is established, the process proceeds to the next step 521.

In step 521, it is determined whether or not the type of winning flag established is A (special game). If it is determined that the type of winning flag established is A (special game), the process proceeds to the next step 522.
In step 522, the rotation speed of the drive motor 68 is controlled by the drive motor control means 410 so that the rotation speed of the rotary lamp device 60 is a (60 rotations / minute). Then, the process ends.
If it is determined in step 520 that no winning flag has been established, the process ends.

If it is determined in step 521 that the type of winning flag established is not A (special game), the process proceeds to the next step 523.
In step 523, it is determined whether or not the type of winning flag established is B (bell). If it is determined that the type of winning flag established is B (bell), the process proceeds to the next step 524.
In step 524, the rotation speed of the drive motor 68 is controlled by the drive motor control means 410 so that the rotation speed of the rotary lamp device 60 is b (40 rotations / minute). Then, the process ends.

If it is determined in step 523 that the type of winning flag established is not B (bell), the process proceeds to the next step 525.
In step 525, it is determined whether or not the type of winning flag established is C (watermelon). If it is determined that the type of winning flag established is C (watermelon), the process proceeds to the next step 526.
In step 526, the rotation speed of the drive motor 68 is controlled by the drive motor control means 410 so that the rotation speed of the rotary lamp device 60 becomes c (30 rotations / minute). Then, the process ends.

If it is determined in step 525 that the type of winning flag established is not C (watermelon), the process proceeds to the next step 527.
In step 527, it is determined whether or not the type of winning flag established is D (cherry). If it is determined that the type of winning flag established is D (cherry), the process proceeds to the next step 528.
In step 528, the rotation speed of the drive motor 68 is controlled by the drive motor control means 410 so that the rotation speed of the rotary lamp device 60 is d (20 rotations / minute). Then, the process ends.

If it is determined in step 527 that the type of the winning flag established is not D (cherry), the process ends.
(Effect | action) This form can change a production | presentation aspect by rotating the rotation reflecting plate 64 with a different rotational speed. In other words, a plurality of different effects can be achieved by changing the rotation speed of the rotary reflector 64 to a plurality of different speeds.
In this embodiment, when a predetermined winning combination is won, the rotary reflector 64 rotates at a different rotation speed depending on the type of the winning combination. This makes it possible to grasp the relationship between the rotation speed of the rotating reflector 64 and the type of winning combination by proceeding with the game, and by observing the rotation speed, Can be analogized.

In the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the rotational speed of the rotary reflector 64 is changed depending on the type of winning combination, but is not particularly limited to this. For example, as in the first embodiment, when a special game winning flag is established during special game and replay time game, the turn-on rotation state and the turn-off rotation state can be implemented, In addition, the rotational speed of the rotating reflector 64 may be set to change depending on the type of winning combination for which the winning flag is established.
In other words, if any of the winning combinations is established, it is set to execute the turn-on rotation state if it is a normal game and to turn off the light state if it is a replay time game. . Further, in either case of the turning rotation state or the turning-off rotation state, the rotation speed of the rotating reflector 64 is set as in the second embodiment depending on the type of winning combination for which the winning flag is established. It may be set to change. As a result, more various notification effects are possible, and the diversity of games can be increased.
