Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine (including a pachinko machine) such as a pachislot machine that uses medals as a gaming medium and a slot machine (rotating game machine) called a pachilot that uses a pachinko ball as a gaming medium.

  Further, the present invention provides control steps or control procedures for realizing the gaming method of semiconductor memory, LD (laser disc), HD (hard disc), CD (compact disc), DVD (digital versatile disc). It is also related to a program (for example, game software) recorded on an information storage medium such as a digital video disk or a blue ray disk, and a game application itself downloaded using the Internet.

  In recent years, games using a swivel type game machine called a pachislot machine have been actively performed as entertainment in conventional pachinko halls and pachislot exclusive shops. In addition, in video game machines installed in game facilities, etc., and PCs and game machines in general households via the Internet, substitute coins and credits (ie, “game media”) are used to simulate a spinning game. A simulation game has been conducted.

  For example, in the above-mentioned normal game of a spinning-reel type gaming machine, when a player inserts a predetermined number (a predetermined amount) of game medals (game media) and then operates the start lever, a bonus combination, multiple types of Execute an internal lottery (hereinafter also referred to as “internal lottery”) of a small role or a replay role (re-playing role), and multiple reels (mostly three or four reel drums) from above A variable display game in which a plurality of symbols (usually, these symbols are arranged on a reel tape and pasted on the outer periphery of each drum) are rotated by rotating downward to change the symbols arranged on the drum. When the player operates the stop button corresponding to each drum and the symbols such as bells, watermelons and cherries won internally are displayed on the active line in the predetermined combination, 1 sheet ~ In contrast to paying out about 5 game medals, when a replay symbol is displayed on the active line and replay (replay) is activated (hereinafter also referred to as “winning”), the game medals are inserted. If there is not (or the number of the previous game is inserted as it is), it becomes a replayable state in which the next normal game can be performed.

  In particular, in the case of a revolving type game machine called A type, a big bonus (1 type BB or 2 type BB) is won internally according to the result of the internal lottery of the normal game, and specified by individual stop operation of the reel drum Big bonus game mode (BB game mode: continuous action of actors) which is the most advantageous game mode for the player when symbols (for example, red 7 symbol and blue 7 symbol) are stopped and displayed on the active line. A large amount of game medals can be acquired at once. In addition, when the regular bonus is won and the bar symbols are arranged on the active line as a specific symbol, a regular bonus game (RB game) is executed, and although it does not reach the BB game, a corresponding game medal can be obtained. In any case, for a player, the establishment of these bonus games is the greatest concern in the revolving game. When a bonus game is won or released as a result of executing the internal lottery, a special symbol (7 symbols or bar symbols) is stored by setting a bonus flag in a data storage area such as RAM or RWM. Until these are complete, the flag is carried over to the subsequent variable display game.

By the way, the conventional swivel-type game machine (No. 4 machine) has a relatively high euphoria, and in order to suppress it,
The latest revolving type game machine called Unit 5 was enacted after the Act on the Regulation of Customs Business and the Optimization of Business (Last Revision: Law No. 55 of May 30, Heisei 15) Applied.

  For example, in the No. 5 spinning cylinder game machine, the play rate (short term, medium term, long term) is regulated very finely by the rules, and in the big bonus game (BB game), the number of game medals obtained, etc. The game ends when the number exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 360 or 480). In the regular bonus game, although it does not reach the BB game, the game ends when about a few dozens are obtained. In particular, the bonus stock function, which should be called the biggest feature of the conventional swivel-type game machine (No. 4 machine), is also prohibited by the same rule, and as a result, the bonus combination cannot be released continuously. Since the gameability and gambling are extremely lowered, the player (slotter) who was a good customer is moving away from the customer.

  However, even in such a strict regulatory situation, some restrictions have been relaxed, and as a result of this, as a result of new innovations, slot machines equipped with ART functions (assist / replay / time functions) have been developed. It was. This ART function is a symbol stop operation procedure (operation sequence for stop switch and operation timing to aim at the color of bonus symbol) for winning a small role that is won internally in a high probability replay state where replay is easy to win. This is a function that notifies and assists with liquid crystal display and voice, and is currently the mainstream of the No. 5 slot machine.

  Furthermore, an AT machine has been developed that maintains a state in which a bonus combination (type 2 BB) is internally won and increases the winning probability of replay during normal games and special games. The AT machine is equipped with an assist bonus (third bonus) that activates the assist function. When the AT bonus is won, the correct push order is notified when the push order small role is won internally. Thus, a small combination with the largest number of payouts among a plurality of small combinations selected at the same time is taken. On the other hand, during normal games, the assist function is not activated, and the player cannot know the correct operation procedure when winning the push order small role, so that the number of possessed medals (held balls) decreases as the number of games is repeated. It has become.

  By the way, as AT's original technology developed by the applicant (Japanese Patent No. 4428725), if a single symbol small part is elected internally and the stop button operation procedure is correct, a predetermined symbol (for example, a bell symbol) is won on multiple lines. On the other hand, there is a method of stopping on a small number of lines with an incorrect answer. Then, when the AT bonus is won, the player is notified of the correct operation procedure, and the number of medals obtained is differentiated. In addition, when an AT bonus is made, the game is shifted to a high probability re-playing state so that the loss is almost eliminated. Therefore, a large number of medals can be obtained without reducing the number of hand-held medals, and the game performance can be improved by creating a large wave of balls.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine or the like capable of increasing the fun without being full of interest for a player by contriving a new game device to an actual bonus, an AT bonus, or an ART bonus. In particular, the ingenuity section notification method and the prevention of disadvantages due to erroneous operations in the advantageous section have been devised.

  It is another object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine and the like that are more interesting by providing a movable accessory including a movable part whose position can be moved by a player.

  In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 includes a plurality of spinning cylinders having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface, and a combination lottery means for internally drawing a combination for each game. , Rotate a plurality of spinning cylinders for each game, accept operation of a stop switch provided corresponding to each spinning cylinder, individually stop the corresponding spinning cylinder, and depending on the result of the internal lottery Symbol display control means for displaying the game, the game has a normal game, an advantageous game more advantageous than the normal game, a notification device for notifying the section of the advantageous game, and switching for switching ON and OFF And in the advantageous game section, the notification device switches between a state in which the advantageous game section is notified and a state in which the notification is not notified, according to the ON and OFF states of the changeover switch. And

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, the player is not exhausted and the fun is increased. And it has 2 types of BB and ART bonus, and since it has been devised for winning notification of this ART bonus and advantageous section, it is possible to eliminate the strategy, the fun is not exhausted, the fun can be increased It becomes. In particular, since the symbol stop control is changed according to the winning state of the pseudo bonus, the player is not exhausted.

  In addition, convenience for the hall manager is enhanced. There is an effect that the failure of the movable accessory is reduced.

Definition:
Replay means a combination of pictures that can be played in the next play without placing a bet in a pachislot machine. The name on the pachislot certification rules (rules for game machine certification and type certification, etc.) is re-game. Further, the “replay role” used in the claims may be a group replay role in which a plurality of replay roles 1 to n are simultaneously elected internally, and any one of the replay roles has the highest priority (bonus role). (Also preferentially). That is, the “re-game” can be performed without inserting game medals or the like (including using the game medals for games by operating buttons and other devices related to the storage device). A game.

  “Activation” is a wording including a state in which a combination of symbols relating to a re-game or a symbol relating to an accessory continuous action device, etc. is displayed on the active line. Synonymous with "winning". Accordingly, in the present specification, the term “winning” for replaying or “winning” for a bonus combination may be used for convenience.

Basic example:
As an example of the gaming machine or the like according to the present invention, a spinning type gaming machine using medals as a game medium will be taken up. This embodiment will explain the basic configuration and basic operation of the spinning type gaming machine in detail.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a rotating game machine (FIG. 1A is an overall view, and FIG. 1B is a partially enlarged view).

  Reference numeral 1 denotes a swivel-type gaming machine body generally referred to as a “pachislot machine”, which is roughly divided into a housing 1a (see FIG. 2) containing a rotating drum (drum unit 2) and a front door 1b.

The front door 1b is a main part that should be called the face of a swivel type gaming machine, and by adding various types of plating to the resin material in order to give a high-class feeling, the appearance is gorgeous and profound. Two transparent panels 22 are fitted on the front surface of the front door 1b, and various designs are applied.

  Behind the upper transparent panel 22a, a display effect device 11 (or a video display device, a liquid crystal display device, etc.) that performs various effects according to the game situation is fixed with screws. The window portion 3 (design display window) is formed on the lower transparent panel 22b by affixing the design sheet 22c. A display LED block 4 (light emitting display device 4; see FIG. 1B) is attached to the lower part 22d of the lower transparent panel 22b (see the broken line part in FIG. 1A). The display LED block 4 includes a display LED group described later.

  Reference numeral 4a denotes an inserted number LED, which displays the number of game medals or credits inserted from the medal insertion unit 5 or the max bet button 8 or 1 bet button (not shown) for playing a game.

  4b is a medal stored number display LED for displaying the number of credits (stored number) of game medals within a predetermined maximum number of 50, for example. Also, a payout effect display at the time of settlement of stored medals is performed.

  4c is a medal payout number display LED, which displays the number of payout medals at the time of winning. Also, the stage setting value of the payout rate and the error code during stopping or when an error occurs are displayed.

  4d is a medal insertion display LED which lights up when a game medal can be inserted.

  4e is a replay display LED which lights up when a replay symbol is displayed and the replay is activated in the variable display game.

  4f is a stop and error display LED, which lights up at the time of stop and when a serious trouble (for example, trouble other than door opening) occurs.

  4g is an advantageous section display LED, and when the function for instructing the stop operation order and the pressing position of the drum unit 2 (hereinafter referred to as “instruction function”) is activated, or the probability that the pseudo bonus is won is higher than that of the normal game Lights when the state has changed to a high state. Therefore, even if the advantageous section display LED 4g is turned on, the pseudo bonus is not always won. In addition, you may utilize dot LED (not shown) generally provided in the lower right of 7 segments of medal storage number display LED4b and medal payout number display LED4c, without providing advantageous area display LED4g separately. Further, the stop and error display LED 4f may be used as it is. It is also possible to provide the replay display LED 4e with this function without newly providing the advantageous section display LED 4g.

  Reference numeral 4h denotes an instruction monitor LED, which displays a numerical value corresponding to information on an operation order of a stop button unit 10 described later. For example, when the indication monitor LED 4h is not displayed or when it is 0, there is no indication of the pressing order, when it is 1, when the left stop button 10a is pressed, when it is 2, when the middle stop button 10b is pressed, when it is 3, Indicates the pressing of the right stop button 10c, 4 indicates the pressing of the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b, 5 indicates the pressing of the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c, and 6 indicates The instruction is to press the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c. This display control is executed by the main control unit 100.

  4i is a slide-type changeover switch, and is a switch for switching ON / OFF of an advantageous section display and a notification function by an instruction monitor according to a player's operation. In FIG. 1B, the switch slides to the left. It indicates ON state. Slide the switch to the right to turn it off.

  When the player sets the changeover switch 4i to the ON state, the notification function is turned on. On the other hand, when the player sets the changeover switch 4i to the OFF state, the notification function is turned off. That is, the notification device (advantageous section display and instruction monitor) switches between a state in which an advantageous game section is informed and a state in which it is not notified in accordance with the ON / OFF state of the changeover switch 4i. The advantageous section display LED 4g is lit when the changeover switch 4i is ON in the advantageous game section, but is turned off when the changeover switch 4i is OFF. The instruction monitor LED 4h displays a numerical value corresponding to the operation order information when the changeover switch 4i is ON in the advantageous game section, and does not display a numerical value when the changeover switch 4i is OFF. Of course, even if the changeover switch 4i is ON, if it is not an advantageous game section, the advantageous section display LED 4g does not light up, and the instruction monitor LED 4h does not display a numerical value corresponding to the operation order information. Note that a changeover switch 4i1 for the advantageous section display LED 4g and a changeover switch 4i2 for the instruction monitor LED 4h may be provided so that the notification function can be individually switched on and off. Further, a changeover switch 4i may be provided at a position where the player cannot operate (inside the gaming machine shown in FIG. 2), and the ON / OFF may be switched on the hall side.

  As another display control method, when the changeover switch 4i is turned on, the main control unit 100 receives the ON signal and activates the notification function so that the advantageous section display LED 4g and the instruction monitor LED 4h are turned on / off by display control. When turning off or numerical display is performed and the changeover switch 4i is turned off, the main control unit 100 receives an OFF signal, prevents the notification function from working, and does not perform lighting / extinguishing or numerical display.

  Reference numeral 2 denotes a drum unit (reel drum unit) built in the housing 1a, which includes three drums, a left drum 2a, a middle drum 2b, and a right drum 2c, a motor, an electric circuit, and the like. Inside each of the drums, a rotating part symbol display LED (not shown) is provided, which emits light (turns on and blinks) or turns off according to various effects. That is, each drum is a symbol row that displays a plurality of symbols in a row from top to bottom, and in this case, a variable display game for changing three symbol rows (plural rows) is started. It should be noted that, in the case where symbols are displayed using a liquid crystal display device or the like instead of each drum, this is a variable display game in which a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are arranged is varied. The design on the reel tape affixed to the outer periphery of the drum portion 2 can be viewed through the transparent window portion 3.

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a medal insertion unit, which is provided with a medal insertion slot for inserting game medals (game media, which may be referred to as “coins” or simply “medals”) necessary for starting the variable display game. ing. Note that a left light transmitting portion 5a and a right light transmitting portion 5b are provided on both sides of the medal insertion portion 5, and the medal is received by light from a plurality of light sources (for example, LEDs) attached to the lower left and right. When it is impossible to insert, it is red (first color). On the other hand, when a medal can be inserted and displayed for addition for gaming, it is blue (second color). Lights in green (third color). However, if a medal cannot be inserted, it may be turned off.

  The medals inserted from the medal slot are counted by a medal sorting device (also referred to as a “selector”, not shown), and the number of medals successfully inserted is added to indicate the number of inserted LEDs 4a of the display LED block 4. Alternatively, it is displayed on the medal stored number display LED 4b.

  An adjustment button 6 is operated at the time of starting and releasing a medal storage device (not shown) and paying out the inserted medals and the stored medals (credits).

  Reference numeral 7 denotes a cross key, which includes four switches arranged vertically and horizontally and a determination button in the center. The top and bottom or left and right switches cannot be pressed at the same time. It is operated when viewing game history information by up / down / left / right operation or determination operation, or when displaying a combination symbol table or payout table on the display effect device 11. A 1-bet button (not shown) is provided in the vicinity of the cross key 7 and is used when inserting one stored medal of the medal storage device in order to play a game. In some cases, a 1-bet button is not provided.

  8 is a maximum bet button (MAX bet button), which is the maximum specified according to the game state, such as when a maximum of 3 stored medals are inserted in the medal storage device to play a game, or during a bonus game. Used when loading the number of sheets (1 to 3). Note that an LED is provided inside the max bet button 8, and lights up when the max bet button 8 is operable.

  Reference numeral 9 denotes a start lever (a part of the spinning cylinder rotation starting device), which is used when the drum unit 2 is rotated (started) all at once after inserting a predetermined number of game medals necessary for playing a game. A game start display LED is provided around the start lever 9 and is lit when a start operation is possible. In addition, the start lever 9 is set to a desired setting value selected from step values 1 to 6 (or four step jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and the like) when setting the stage of the payout rate. Used when confirming.

  Reference numeral 10 denotes a stop button portion (also referred to as a “stop switch” as a synonymous name), which is used to stop the rotating drum portion 2. The stop button portion 10 is composed of three button groups (four for four reels) including a left stop button 10a, a middle stop button 10b, and a right stop button 10c, and a stop button while the drum portion 2 is rotating. By operating the unit 10, the left drum 2a, middle drum 2b and right drum 2c corresponding to each button can be stopped. When the rotation of the three drums, the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, reaches a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm) and the stop button unit 10 becomes operable, the stop button 10a is stopped. The LEDs built in the button 10b and the stop button 10c are lit. Further, when the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, and the right stop button 10c are used as three direction input means, they can correspond to left direction, upward direction, and right direction input, respectively.

  A drum portion 2 and a medal payout device 18 (medal hopper 18) are disposed below the drum portion 2 in the center portion of the casing 1a of the spinning cylinder type gaming machine main body 1.

  A reflector 17 is provided at the upper right portion of the housing 1a, and a photosensor is provided at a corresponding position of the front door 1b. When the front door 1b is closed, LED light emitted from the photosensor is reflected. While reflected by the plate 17 and detected by the phototransistor, in the opened state, reflected light is not detected, so that the open / closed state of the front door 1b can be detected.

  Reference numeral 21 denotes a power supply unit. When the power switch 21c is turned on, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after the initial check and initial setting, a variable display game can be played.

  Reference numeral 21a denotes a setting key switch (also referred to as a setting change permission switch), which is used when performing a stage setting operation of the payout rate and confirmation of a stage setting value. By inserting the operation key into the keyhole 21d and rotating it, the state can be changed from OFF to ON or vice versa.

  21b is an error release switch, which is used when setting the stage of the payout rate or when canceling the game stop due to an error. The stage setting value of the payout rate is displayed by the medal payout number display LED 4c. The value is incremented by 1 every time the error release switch 21b is pressed, and after “6” is displayed, the value returns to “1”, and turnaround display is performed. .

  21e is a confirmation switch for storing a medal in an advantageous section advantageous to the player (game ratio) such as an actual bonus (BB, RB), an AT that activates an assist function, an ART, a pseudo bonus, a chance zone, etc. This is used when displaying on either the number display LED 4b or the medal payout number display LED 4c.

  FIG. 53 is a schematic front view of the spinning cylinder gaming machine. FIG. 54 is an explanatory diagram of a fish accessory. Since the only difference from FIG. 1 is that the magic formation 51 is changed to a fish combination 52, the other explanation is based on FIG.

  A fish accessory 52 (movable accessory) is arranged on the left side of the display effect device 11. The lower jaw 52a of the fish accessory 52 is a movable part, and the lower jaw 52a is in a lower specific position (first position) from the state where the mouth at the normal position (first position) is closed (see the left figure in FIG. 54A). 2), the mouth is opened (see the right figure in FIG. 54A). The lower jaw 52a of the movable part is in a position where the player can touch, and the player can move the position of the lower jaw 52a up and down.

  FIG. 54 (B) is a configuration diagram of a main part of a drive mechanism that drives the lower jaw 52a. This drive mechanism includes a plunger 52b, a movable iron core 52c, a plunger head 52d, a lower jaw assembly 52e, a light shielding plate 52f, and an optical sensor 52g. A plunger head 52d is fixed to the movable iron core 52c of the plunger 52b and is pressed in the separating direction (downward) by a spring (not shown) fitted between the two, but it hits the drive mechanism case. (See the left figure in FIG. 54C). The sub-control unit 160 performs control to move the position of the lower jaw 52a, and pulls the movable iron core 52c upward by passing a current through the coil of the plunger 52b. It moves to the restriction position (see the right figure in FIG. 54C). The light shielding plate 52f formed integrally with the plunger head 52d is in a position where it does not block the light of the optical sensor 52g (including the light emitting element and the light receiving element) when the coil is not energized. The light shielding plate 52f moves upward together with 52c, and blocks light in the process of moving to the restricting position. The optical sensor 52g outputs a signal for detecting that the position of the light shielding plate 52f has moved by distinguishing the light from the light emitting element from the state in which the light receiving element is receiving light and the state in which the light receiving element is not receiving light. . If the sub-control unit 160 does not receive a signal (light-shielding state detection signal) that detects the non-light-receiving state from the optical sensor 52g in spite of performing control to pull the movable iron core 52c upward, the display effect device 11 The fact that the fish accessory 52 is not moving normally is displayed. For example, the sub-control unit 160 displays (warning) a message “Please replace the fish accessory 52” after the initial check state when the power is turned on, after the setting is changed, or after the door is opened or closed.

  The lower jaw assembly 52e is obtained by fixing a bearing crank member 52h to the lower jaw 52a with screws. A central shaft 52i is inserted into the rotary bearing portion of the bearing crank member 52h, and the lower jaw assembly 52e is pivotally supported like a seesaw with the central shaft 52i as a rotational axis. A pin protrudes from the tip of the arm portion of the bearing crank member 52h, and the pin is fitted into a pin receiving portion 52j formed in a U-shape on the plunger head 52d. It is rotatably supported by a portion 52j (for the concave portion). The left figure of FIG. 54 (B) shows a state in which the mouth of the fish accessory 52 is closed, and in this state, when the sub-control unit 160 conducts control to energize the coil of the plunger 52b and pull up the movable iron core 52c, The plunger head 52d moves upward, and accordingly, the tip of the arm portion of the bearing crank member 52h also moves upward, while the opposite lower jaw 52a moves downward (see the right figure in FIG. 54B). The optical sensor 52g detects that the position of the lower jaw 52a in conjunction with the movement of the light shielding plate 52f has moved (or has not moved) by detecting whether the light is received or shielded by the light shielding plate 52f. The player can touch and hold the lower jaw 52a and move the position from the bottom to the top or from the top to the bottom. Also in this case, the optical sensor 52g detects a change in light reception or shielding, and the sub-control unit 160 determines whether the lower jaw 52a is above or below the light detection position based on the detection result of the optical sensor 52g. Judging whether there is.

  The sub-control unit 160 uses the fish accessory 52 configured as described above to produce various lines according to the gaming state. As the various lines, there are a plurality of lines (game lines 1 to N) used during a game and a plurality of lines (standby lines 1 to M) which are used while waiting for a game. A drive voltage pattern for moving the lower jaw 52a corresponding to each line is stored in the ROM 161. For example, the sub-control unit 160 utters the game dialogue 1 from the speaker, and simultaneously selects a corresponding drive voltage pattern (game dialogue 1), and turns on / off the voltage applied to the coil of the plunger 52b to flow current. Or cut it. As a result, the mouth of the fish accessory 52 moves rapidly, so that the fish accessory 52 can be operated as if it is singing a line. For example, when the sub-control unit 160 pulls the middle cherries (rare role) after operating the start lever during the game, the sub-control unit 160 utters “Large Chance” and a line, and simultaneously selects the drive voltage pattern and applies the voltage to the plunger 52b. Is turned on / off, and the two eyeball lamps 52k that emit multicolor light are lit in red. The eyeball lamp 52k emits light (turns on or blinks) or turns off in a desired color according to the gaming state, like the center lamp and the four jewel lamps of the magic formation 51.

  Game standby state (for example, a customer waiting state, a state where medals are not inserted, a state where medals are only inserted, a non-game state where the reels are not rotating: step S130, step S150 and step S150 in FIG. 20 described later) The player (customer) moves the lower jaw 52a downward from the initial position and the optical sensor 52g detects a change from the light receiving state to the light blocking state. In this case, since the sub-control unit 160 is not in control of moving the position of the lower jaw 52a, it is determined that the player (customer) has intentionally lowered the lower jaw 52a. Do n’t touch it, ”she says. At the same time, the drive voltage pattern is selected, the voltage applied to the plunger 52b is turned ON / OFF, and the two eyeball lamps 52k that emit multicolor light are lit in white. As other waiting lines, it is possible to produce effects that will surprise the player, such as "No mischief", "Gyoggyo", and "It's painful". As a result, the player (customer) does not touch the lower jaw 52a of the fish accessory 52, which is a movable accessory, so that the failure of the movable accessory is reduced.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a control circuit system of a spinning cylinder type gaming machine.

  The control circuit system is roughly divided into a main block (main board: a part not enclosed by a broken line) and a sub block (sub board: a part enclosed by a broken line), while the main block performs control related to a game result. The sub-block is responsible for control related to various effects that attract the player's interest and interest, such as game progress and announcement / display of the internal lottery result. The sub-block is a small operation winning operation (stop button unit 10 operation sequence) when the assist function managed by the main block is activated. And operation timing).

  Reference numeral 100 denotes a main control unit, which is an integrated one-chip microcomputer (for example, LEM50A-P manufactured by EL Tech Co.) on which a microprocessor incorporating a CPU is mounted, and a control procedure for a predetermined data table area and the entire apparatus. ROM 101 for storing a control program in which is described, and RAM 102 (RWM: also referred to as rewritable memory, which includes a counter, a register, etc., and temporarily stores information necessary for control. Also includes not only internal but also external RAM. .), Various registers, counters and the like are provided. As will be described later, even if the power switch 28c is turned off or the power cord is disconnected, the RAM 102 is stored by the RAM backup power (main board power supply capacitor) that is always supplied via the power connector. However, if the power connector itself is removed, power is not supplied at all, so the control data is erased (all cleared or reset to 0) or meaningless information (undefined information). Become.

  The main control unit 100 includes a start SW sensor 110 (start switch sensor 110), three stop button sensors 120, a medal detection sensor 130, a bet button via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus. The sensor 140 and the stage setting unit 150 are connected, and the main control unit 100 is configured to be able to receive input signals from these.

  The main control unit 100 is connected to the drum unit 2, the medal payout device 18, the display LED block 4, and the external concentrated terminal board 170 via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus. The main control unit 100 is configured to be able to control these various devices by transmitting and receiving input / output signals.

  The main control unit 100 outputs information necessary for collecting and managing the operating status of the gaming machine in the pachislot store or the like from the external concentration terminal board 170, but receiving any information from the external concentration terminal board 170 is not possible. Absent. Signals output from the main control unit 100 to the outside include a medal insertion signal, a medal payout signal, an external output signal 1 (for example, pseudo BB signal), an external output signal 2 (for example, pseudo RB signal), and an external output signal 3 (for example, 2 type BB signal), external output signal 4 (for example, an error signal indicating that various errors have occurred), external output signal 5 (for example, CB signal indicating that the second type special agent is in operation) And relay common signal. In particular, the two kinds of BB signals are actual bonus combinations (actual bonus combinations), but the pseudo BB signal and the pseudo RB signal are assist bonus combinations ("third bonus combination") that are special combinations to which assist information is notified. Is not only collected and managed by the hall computer (external device 1), but also output to a data counter (external device 2) installed near the top of the pachislot machine to give the player a pachislot game Is used to display the main information (number of games, number of BBs, number of ARTs, appearance information, etc.).

  The main control unit 100 extracts one of the random numbers (values 0 to 65535) continuously generated by the built-in random number generation unit 103 in accordance with the operation of the start lever 9 by the player. A lottery is performed, and the drum section 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c) is a three-row (multiple-row) symbol row on which a plurality of (usually 20 or 21) symbols are drawn. The symbol variation display game is started by rotating. For example, in this random number lottery, any of the small roles with a payout such as a bell, cherry, watermelon or plum is won internally (or a plurality of small roles are simultaneously internal winning), and the player performs a stop operation of the stop button unit 10. Then, the main control unit 100 individually stops the drum unit 2 at a predetermined position based on the lottery result according to the operation order. As a result, if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on any of the active lines set in the window portion 3, a winning is achieved. However, the number of active lines is not limited to five, but changes according to the number of inserted medals, or increases or decreases to one or more as appropriate according to the design specifications and gaming state.

  The main control unit 100 stores the total number of games executed and the number of games in an advantageous section advantageous to the player such as a pseudo bonus in the RAM 102, and the confirmation switch 21e is operated with the front door 1b opened. In this case, (the total number of games) (the number of games in the advantageous section) × 100 is calculated and displayed on either the medal stored number display LED 4b or the medal payout number display LED 4c. For example, if the total number of games is 12345 games and the number of games in the advantageous section is 8000 games, the gaming ratio in the advantageous section is about 64.803%, but the first digit is rounded off to the number “65”. Lights up and displays. The ROM 101 stores a first threshold value, a second threshold value, and a third threshold value. This advantageous section is a section in which the instruction function may be activated (a section in which the instruction function is activated at least once), and if the end condition is within the maximum number of games (for example, within MAX 1500 games), an arbitrary number of games Can be decided. On the other hand, the normal section is a section in which the instruction function does not operate and determines whether or not to shift to the advantageous section (advantageous section transition lottery section), and is a section that is more disadvantageous than the advantageous section. is there. Further, in this normal section, the main control unit 100 does not transmit operation information such as a winning operation order to the sub-control unit 160 when the pushing order is won.

When the total number of games is (1) below the first threshold, (2) above the first threshold and below the second threshold, (3) above the second threshold and below the third threshold, And (4) When the third threshold value is exceeded, the display method of the game ratio is changed by satisfying the four different display conditions. (1) When the confirmation switch 21e is operated effectively, the main control unit 100 displays “-” in the 7th segment of the medal stored number display LED 4b when the total number of games is equal to or less than a first threshold (for example, 6000 games). "And the game ratio (ratio number) is not displayed. (2) When the confirmation switch 21e is operated effectively, the main control unit 100 determines the game ratio as described above when the total number of games exceeds the first threshold and is equal to or less than the second threshold (for example, 17500 games). Then, “65” is displayed on the 7-segment portion of the medal stored number display LED 4b, and the game ratio is blinked at a high speed (predetermined speed). (3) When the confirmation switch 21e is operated effectively, the main control unit 100 similarly obtains a game ratio when the total number of games exceeds the second threshold and is equal to or less than the third threshold (for example, 100,000 games), and the medal “65” is displayed on the 7-segment portion of the stored number display LED 4b, and the game ratio is blinked and displayed at a low speed (a speed slower than a predetermined speed). (4) When the confirmation switch 21e is operated effectively, the main control unit 100 similarly obtains the game ratio when the total number of games exceeds the third threshold, and sets the 7th segment of the medal stored number display LED 4b. “65” is displayed and the game ratio is lit. This makes it easy to understand the reliability of the displayed game ratio (numerical value). In this example, the reliable display is the lighting display after the game is played exceeding the third threshold (that is, after the 100001th game). Note that the total number of games stored in the RAM 102 and the number of games in the advantageous section continue to be stored without being cleared even if the setting is changed, but the data is destroyed when the backup power is turned off (nonsense). Data). Also, the number of games in the non-advantageous section is stored instead of the number of games in the advantageous section, and the same result is obtained by calculating (total number of games−number of games in the non-advantageous section) × 100 for (total number of games). Therefore, you may do this.

  A sub-control unit 160 is connected to the main control unit 100 via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus, and control data (for example, coin insertion data, A lottery result, winning status data, step set value data, data indicating a switch operation state of the step setting unit 150, and the like) are output to the sub-control unit 160.

  Similar to the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 is an integrated one-chip microcomputer equipped with a microprocessor with a built-in CPU, and a ROM 161 that stores a control program describing the control procedure of the entire sub-block; A counter, a timer, a register, and the like are formed, and a RAM 162 that temporarily stores information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100 is provided. This ROM 161 stores a plurality of BGM (Background Music) data. In particular, during the bonus game, a specially arranged BGM is displayed according to the production scene in order to enhance the player's feelings. Selected and played as appropriate. The main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 do not need to be provided separately, and may be a single control unit. However, since the capacity of the ROM 101 is limited, the sub control unit 160 is generally provided. ing.

  The sub-control unit 160 includes a display effect device 11 (including the display effect control unit 11b), a speaker unit 12, a game state display LED unit 13, and a cross key sensor via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus. 111, the special button sensor 112, and the door abnormality signal output device 113 are connected, and the sub-control unit 160 can receive input signals from these devices and perform various controls by outputting necessary data and signals. Is possible.

  When the sub-control unit 160 performs the internal lottery using the random number extracted by the main control unit 100 in response to the start operation of the start lever 9, and receives the result notification of the big hit, re-game, various small roles or lose, Before notifying the player of the lottery result, an effect lottery is performed as to whether or not to cause the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13 to execute the effect. When the sub-control unit 160 is won in the effect lottery, the sub-control unit 160 selects an effect image to be displayed from a plurality of effect images stored in the ROM 11c (see FIG. 13) described later, and outputs the selected effect image to the display panel 11e.

  In particular, the sub-control unit 160, as will be described later, during the AT bonus game, when the push order small combination (a plurality of first small combination and a plurality of some of the plurality of push order prescribed small combinations) is won internally, Assist information (auxiliary information) for aligning the first small role symbol (for example, bell symbol) being selected on the active line is displayed on the display effect device 11. As a result, the player can easily win the first small role. However, this AT bonus game is managed by the control of the main control unit 100, and the sub control unit 160 only displays assist information according to an instruction from the main control unit 100.

  When the cross key is operated, the cross key sensor 111 outputs a direction signal corresponding to the four directions of up, down, left, and right and a determination button operation signal at the center, and the sub-control unit 160 receives the direction signal, Various video effects and winning notifications according to the signal are displayed on the display effect device 11 and sound effects are generated from the speaker unit 12. Further, the sub-control unit 160 displays a combination combination pattern, a small combination table, and a payout table on the display effect device 11 based on a signal from the cross key sensor 111.

  The special button sensor 112 outputs an ON signal (for example, a HIGH signal) when the special button 14 is operated, and outputs an OFF signal (for example, a LOW signal) when the special button 14 is released, and the sub control unit 160 receives the ON signal. Depending on the timing and the number of times the pulse is received (referred to as continuous hitting), various games and video effects, winning notifications, etc. are displayed on the display effect device 11.

  The door abnormality signal output device 113 is a device that detects the open / closed state of the door and outputs a control signal to the sub-control unit 160. When the main power supply is ON, an ON / OFF signal is generated according to the opening / closing of the front door 1b. In the state where the main power supply is OFF, it is driven by the power supplied from the sub power supply (backup battery), detects and stores the abnormal opening / closing of the front door 1b when the main power supply is cut off, and then the main power supply Even when the power is turned on, the sub-control unit 160 is notified of abnormal opening and closing when the main power is turned off. As a result, the sub-control unit 160 generates a warning sound when the main power is turned on even if the front door 1b is closed and appears to have no abnormality, so that the manager of the game hall recognizes the abnormal situation. Appropriate measures such as checking and inspection of gaming machines can be taken.

  The medal detection sensor 130 includes a medal passage sensor and a proximity sensor (not shown), and outputs a number of pulse signals corresponding to the number of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 5. The main control unit 100 receives this pulse signal, and executes counter logic processing at the rise and fall of the pulse signal, depending on the number of pulses in the inserted number LED 4a or medal reserve number display LED 4b in the display LED block 4. Control is performed to display the number of inserted sheets or the number of credits increased by a certain number.

  The bet button detection sensor 140 includes a 1 bet button detection sensor 140a that outputs a pulse signal according to the operation of the 1 bet button, and a max bet button detection sensor 140b that outputs a pulse signal according to the operation of the max bet button 8. And are separately connected to two ports of the main control unit 100 (not shown in detail). The main controller 100 controls the number display of the input number LED 4a so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signal.

  When the player inserts a predetermined number of medals and operates the start lever 9 properly, the start SW sensor 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 100 performs random number lottery or the like when the start signal is received. The change display game is started and a drive pulse signal is output to the drum unit 2. The game performed by operating the start lever 9 once is a variable display game of one game, and the player aims to increase the medal by acquiring a bonus game (big bonus or regular bonus). Repeat the game. Note that the bonus game means, for example, a first-type special combination (RB), a first-type special combination continuous operation (RBB), or a second-type special combination continuous operation (CBB).

  Then, when the stop buttons 10a, 10b, and 10c are operated during the variation display game, the main control unit 100 individually stops the rotation of the corresponding rotating drum, and a predetermined winning combination is established (the design of each rotating drum) Is displayed in a predetermined combination.) When paying out medals, the number of payouts is displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and this is indicated by the number of credits. In addition, the medal stored number display LED 4b is displayed. When the payout operation is performed with the settlement button 6 or when the number of credits exceeds, for example, the maximum number of 50, the main control unit 100 controls the medal payout device 18 so that the required number of medals can be obtained as medals. It is discharged from the payout opening 16 and accumulated in the tray 15.

  Further, the main control unit 100 outputs control data (event data) related to internal winning etc. to the sub-control unit 160 when a replay or small role, especially a bonus, is won internally. When the sub-control unit 160 receives control data from the main control unit 100, the lighting control of the gaming state display LED unit 13 and the control of a speech synthesis LSI (not shown) for generating sound effects from the speaker unit 12 are performed. In addition, various presentation operations such as display control of characters and background video in the display screen of the display presentation device 11 are performed.

  150 is a stage setting unit, and by performing the stage setting operation of the payout rate, which will be described later with reference to FIG. A desired set value can be selected from step values 1 to 6 (or jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and the like).

  A stop setting unit (not shown) is connected to the main control unit 100, and if it is on (or “1”), after the bonus game is over, the inserted number LED 4a and the medal stored number display LED 4b are displayed. The total of the displayed medals is forcibly paid out, the operation for performing the variable display game is disabled (stopped state), and a warning sound is generated from the speaker unit 12. Recently, there are many slot machines that do not have the stop setting unit.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a control circuit system for controlling the drum unit.

  The drum unit 2 includes step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c for controlling rotation of the three drums of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, and responds to the drive pulse signal from the main control unit 100. When the step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c are driven and the drive pulse signals are continuously supplied to any two phases at the same time, a suction force is generated and suddenly stops. In practice, finer stop control is performed to smoothly stop the drum unit 2 at a predetermined position.

  The step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c are four-phase 1-2 excitation methods, have a step number of 252 steps / rotation (1.43 degrees / step), and just when the main control unit 100 inputs 504 pulses of the drive pulse signal. Rotate once. The main control unit 100 returns one pulse of each index signal (reference signal or reference position signal) from each of the cylinder sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c formed of photo interrupters provided for each drum. It is possible to accurately grasp the reference position. That is, the resolution by one input pulse is 0.714 (degrees / pulse). When the resolution is further increased, the rotational position can be grasped in detail by managing the time from the input pulse to the next input pulse and the rotational speed.

  FIG. 5 is a configuration block diagram of the drum unit.

  Center portions of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, which are thick disk-shaped rotating bodies, are connected to the rotation shafts of the step motors 30a (not shown), 30b (not shown), and 30c, respectively. It rotates in the direction of the arrow shown (ie, from top to bottom). In addition, a left swirl band 32a, a middle swirl band 32b, and a right swirl band 32c in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged are attached to the outer peripheral portion of each drum. If the predetermined symbol is displayed on the window 3 along the active line, the winning combination is established (winning or operating). In addition, the star mark, + mark, plum mark (black circle mark) and triangle mark in the figure are shown for convenience, and are different from the actual ones. 7 symbols, bar symbol, bell symbol, watermelon symbol and cherry A design or the like is generally used. In general, the rotator belt is called a reel tape.

  Cylinder sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c (not shown) are provided for each of the step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c, and one index signal is returned from each cylinder sensor for each rotation of the step motor. It comes to come. The main control unit 100 always grasps the symbol number and the rotation angle (24 divisions / design) at the reference position (for example, the lowest position of the window 3) based on the index signal and the number of output drive pulse signals. ing.

  FIG. 6 is a drum symbol arrangement table.

  In each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a swirl belt (not shown) on which a left drum symbol, a middle drum symbol, and a right drum symbol are drawn so as to make a round at the outer periphery of each drum. It is attached to.

  As shown in the illustration, each of the swirl belts has 21 differently arranged symbols, and the big bonus symbols “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, “Yellow 7”, “BAR” are activated. ”And various small role winning symbols such as cherry, watermelon, bell, and replays that activate replays. In addition, although not shown in this figure, the “discarded symbol” does not constitute any role even if it stops on the active line, and “N” is printed in a light gray, for example, in a circle so that it does not stand out to the player Have been. In other words, the abandoned symbol is a symbol that does not involve winning.

  FIG. 7 is a structural block diagram of the drum unit, and FIGS. 7A and 7B show the state in which the right drum 2c is controlled to be pulled in time series.

  When the main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and the lottery result is won and the winning combination is won internally, the main control unit 100 performs pull-in control for drawing the symbol of the winning combination on the active line as much as possible. Do.

  For example, in the so-called reach state (or tempering state) in which the symbols “7, 7” are aligned on the effective line diagonally to the lower right of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b where the big bonus combination is won internally, When the symbol “7” is positioned within 4 frames from the line (that is, when the symbol “7” is positioned within 5 frames including the symbol on the active line), when the right stop button 10c is stopped (FIG. 7A) )), The main control unit 100 forcibly pulls the symbol “7” onto the active line, and performs pull-in control to align the symbols “7, 7, 7” (see FIG. 7B). .

  On the other hand, even if one of the winning combinations is won internally by lottery, the player is not in an advantageous state unless a predetermined symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the active line. For example, a big bonus game (BB game) does not operate unless it is displayed as shown in FIG. This pull-in control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on the symbols of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. The main control unit 100 sequentially calculates the number of sliding frames for the virtual stop operation symbol frame position in advance by referring to the stop table for determining the stop position of each drum according to the random number lottery result (internal winning or losing). Thus, the sliding frame number table for the first stop operation is completed. When the stop button is actually stopped, the main control unit 100 moves the corresponding reel drum by the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the symbol number at the reference position, and then stops to stop. Take control. That is, the first stop operation position has a total of 63 frame positions (21 frames × 3 reels), and the number of sliding frames for all the frame positions is created in advance as a sliding frame number table.

  In the example of FIG. 7, in the tempered state, the symbol “7” of the right drum 2c is exactly 4 frames above and is lined up on the effective line as a target of pull-in control. However, the pull-in control is not limited to four frames, and the number of pull-in frames can be increased / decreased by software control so as to be adapted to the design specifications or legal regulations. In addition, when the random number lottery result is a win in the general game, the sub-control unit 160 assists information (operation sequence and operation order) for stopping the rotation of the rotary drum so that the symbols are displayed in a predetermined combination by the pull-in control. Assist information such as operation timing (AT information) is notified by the display effect device 11 or by voice.

  FIG. 8 is a configuration block diagram of the drum portion, and FIGS. 8A and 8B show the state in which the right drum 2c is controlled to avoid (or kick-off control) in time series.

  The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the lottery result is lost and the combination is not established (when all the combinations are not won internally), the main control unit 100 wins or operates on the active line. Avoidance control is performed to prevent the combination of symbols for a combination (bonus, small combination, replay).

  For example, in the reach state (temple state) where the symbols “7, 7” are aligned on the effective line diagonally to the lower right of the stopped left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b without the big bonus combination being elected internally When the stop button 10c is operated in a state where the symbol “7” is positioned within one frame from the effective line by the “eye press” (for example, this is called “bita press”). A), the main control unit 100 performs avoidance control for forcibly shifting the symbol “7” to at least one point ahead so that “7, 7, 7” is not aligned on the active line. (See FIG. 8B). This avoidance control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on the symbols of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. In addition, avoidance control is performed so that an unsuccessful small role symbol does not win. These pull-in control and avoidance control (kick-off control) are performed by stop control based on a sliding frame number table created in advance by the main control unit 100 with reference to a stop table according to the internal winning situation, and as necessary. This is done by program control.

  FIG. 9 is a timing chart showing the relationship among the index signal, symbol position data (frame data), drive pulse signal, and stop button sensor signal.

  FIG. 9A shows an index signal output from each of the cylinder sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c, and the main control is performed so that T1 is constant at 0.751 seconds (that is, 79.9 revolutions / minute). Controlled by the unit 100.

  FIG. 9B shows the symbol position data of the rotating drum, and FIG. 9C shows the drive pulse signal.

  The symbol position data is generated by dividing the drive pulse signal, and 1 is subtracted from the data every 24 pulses of the drive pulse signal. That is, with reference to the index signal, the symbol position data is “21” in the range of the driving pulse signal from 1 pulse to 24 pulses, the symbol position data is “20” in the range of the driving pulse signal from 25 pulses to 48 pulses, The symbol position data is “19” when the drive pulse signal is in the range of 49 to 72 pulses, the symbol position data is “1” when the drive pulse signal is in the range of 481 to 504 pulses, and the symbol position data is 21 to 1 Turn around. That is, the symbol position data returns to “21” after “1”.

  The drive pulse signal is a drive pulse of a prescribed pattern that is input to the motor coil in order to rotate the rotating drum in a certain direction, and there are eight pattern numbers of patterns 0 to 7 as can be seen from the figure. When pattern numbers 0 to 7 are repeatedly applied to the motor coils 1 to 4 as this drive pulse signal three times (that is, 24 pulses are input), the rotating drum rotates from top to bottom by one pattern (one frame). To do.

  In particular, the input pulse phase data of the drive pulse input to the step motor is 5-bit data from 0 to 23 for driving the rotating drum by one frame, and pattern numbers 0 to 7 are phase data of the lower 3 bits. Thus, the drive pulse corresponding to the pattern number is actually applied to the motor coils 1 to 4 phase. Therefore, even when only the pattern number is stored in the work RAM (RAM 102), it corresponds to the phase data storage means for storing the input pulse phase data.

FIG. 9D shows a stop button sensor signal output when each stop button is operated. In the case of this figure, the main control unit 100 recognizes the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data “10” (or pattern number “2”) at the rising edge of the stop button sensor signal.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a included in the drum portion.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (A), the left drum 2a rotates in the direction of the arrow (from top to bottom), and the cherry pattern is placed on any one of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the three windows 3 indicated by solid lines. When (in FIG. 6, the lower Chile symbol) stops, a prize is won and a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. FIG. 10A shows a state where the cherry symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the window 3.

  When the player performs an operation to start the variable display game, the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery. As a result, when the upper cherry (cherry 1) is won, the position (timing) at which the stop button is operated. ) To perform cherry symbol pull-in control (see FIG. 9) or avoidance control (see FIG. 10).

  FIG. 10 (B) shows the possible range of pull-in control. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position four frames above the position where the cherry pattern is just the upper stage, the main control unit 100 3. Stop the cherry symbol at the top of 3 (assuming that the bita symbol is in the upper position). In actuality, it takes about 36 ms to stop, so it is positioned higher by that amount, but for convenience of explanation, it is written in this way. In addition, since it is specified that the stop operation is performed within 190 ms from the stop operation, there is a case where four frames are not slipped. The data of 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 10A and 0 of the cherry symbol overlapped indicate the number of sliding symbols, and the main control unit 100 performs the stop calculation process based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information. Then, the sliding frame number table is created so that the stop control can be immediately performed regardless of when and when the player operates the stop button unit 10.

  On the other hand, FIGS. 10C and 10D show the range where the avoidance control or the like is performed, and the main control unit 100 has the cherry symbols 4 from the upper position even when the upper cherry is won. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position above the frame (that is, a position above 4 in FIG. 10A) or a position slightly past the upper position, the position of the upper position is one above or below the upper position. Stop the cherry symbol down and make it lose. That is, since the middle cherry (cherry 2) or the lower cherry (cherry 3) is not won, the cherry symbol must be forcibly stopped outside the window 3.

  FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the left drum 2a, the window 3 and the symbol position data.

  As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, assuming that the cherry symbols on the left drum 2a are frame number 8 and frame number 19 (different from FIG. 6), the upper cherry is inside. In the case of winning, assuming that the lowest position of the window 3 is a measurement reference, the main control unit 100 reads the symbol position data “14” and the input pulse phase data “0” to the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data. If the stop button 10a is operated in the range of “23” or symbol position data “4” and input pulse phase data “0” to symbol position data “1” and input pulse phase data “23”, the cherry symbol is displayed in the upper row. And stop winning. In other words, even if the stop button 10a is appropriately operated, not only winning with a probability of 10/21, but if a winner is notified, an expert can push forward and win with a probability close to 100%. .

  FIG. 12 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on an effective line according to the number of inserted game medals. Generally, when one game medal is inserted, the effective line is only the first line, when two game medals are inserted, the effective line is the first line, the second line, and the third line, and when three game medals are inserted, the effective line is In addition to the first to third lines, all of the fourth and fifth lines are activated. For example, when three game medals are inserted and the two-paid-out cherry pattern of the left drum 2a is displayed on the window 3, if the upper row is four (2 × 2 lines: the second line and the second line) 4 lines), 2 (2 sheets × 1 line: 1st line) in the middle stage and 4 (2 sheets × 2 lines: 3rd line and 5th line) game medals in the lower stage. However, this effective line is a general line that has been conventionally used, and as described later, there are many lines and irregular lines recently.

  In addition, when the eight-paid-out bell symbols are displayed on the active line of the window portion 3, if only the middle stage is displayed, it should be 8 sheets (8 sheets × 1 line: the first line) and the upper stage and diagonally down to the right. For example, 15 game medals are paid out (8 sheets × 2 lines but MAX 15 sheets: second line and fourth line). In other words, the game media having the number of payouts defined according to the type of winning is paid out in total for the winning amount, but the maximum number of payouts at one time is 15.

  In particular, in the case of the current A-type 5-line machine, in the case of a gaming machine having a plurality of prescribed numbers from the insertion of gaming medals to the start lever operation, there are gaming medals other than the maximum prescribed number (one prescribed number or two prescribed numbers). If the start lever is pushed while being inserted, the rotating cylinder rotating device operates at a specified number other than the maximum specified number (one specified number or two specified numbers). The player wants to play with only the maximum specified number (the specified number of 3) as described above, but when the inserted number is 1 or 2, the start lever is erroneously operated, and the specified number of 1 or 2 A game may be played. This is because a game with a specified number of 1 or a specified number of 2 has a low bonus probability and does not want to play.

  In order to improve this problem, the following invention was made. When the star lever is pushed when the number of inserted medals is less than the maximum number (1 or 2), the function to carry over the operation of the rotating device until the next start lever is pushed is added. is there. In addition, a function for outputting a warning sound when the first start lever is pressed is added. According to the operation and effect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent a gaming machine having a plurality of prescribed numbers from playing less than the maximum prescribed number.

  FIG. 13 is a configuration block diagram of the display effect device.

  The display effect device 11 receives an effect command from the sub-control unit 160 and transmits / receives necessary information, a transmission / reception unit 11a, a display effect control unit 11b (including a ROM 11c and a RAM 11d), an LCD, an organic EL, an LED, and the like. Display panel 11e. In the case of this figure, the ROM 11c is separately provided in the display effect control unit 11b, but there is no problem even if all the video data is stored in the ROM 161. Therefore, the ROM 11c may be considered as a part of the ROM 161.

  FIG. 14 is an effect pattern table, which associates the relationship between effect commands and effect pattern data stored in the ROM.

  The effect command is composed of 1-byte length mode data and 1-byte length event data, and stores effect pattern data (mainly a moving image but also a still image), which is an effect content. .

  When the sub-control unit 160 receives control data necessary for various controls from the main control unit 100 (particularly, various types of data indicating a big hit, a small hit, a replay, or a loss of the random number lottery result are included), a random number is received. Before notifying the lottery result, an appropriate effect command corresponding to the control data is transmitted to the display effect device 11 side, and the command receiving unit 11a receives the effect command and transmits it to the display effect control unit 11b.

  Upon receiving the effect command, the display effect control unit 11b reads the effect pattern data corresponding to the effect command from the ROM 11c, expands the data in the RAM 11d, and transmits the data to the display panel 11e, thereby displaying the effect image corresponding to the effect command. It is configured to be displayed on the screen.

  15 to 17 are schematic diagrams of effect screens displayed by the display effect device.

  For example, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ Z0 $ 00) as an effect command, for example, the display panel 11e displays “daytime” in the low-probability stage mainly indicating a state where there is no pseudo bonus stock or a state where the pseudo bonus is difficult to win. Display pattern 0 ”is displayed (see FIG. 15A). On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ Y0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e is in a high probability stage that suggests a state where there is a pseudo bonus stock or a high probability state where the pseudo bonus is likely to be won. “Night effect pattern 0” is displayed (see FIG. 15B). Therefore, the player expects or desires to display a “night stage” that mainly suggests a high probability state during the game. However, a Gase effect that displays a “night stage” even when there is no pseudo bonus stock or a non-high probability state, and vice versa, a “day stage stage” with a pseudo bonus stock or a high probability state. It may be displayed. The pseudo bonus is a special game in which the assist function is activated, and the assist bonus starts when the pseudo bonus is released.

  Further, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ S0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e superimposes “Dracula Castle”, which is an image corresponding to “castle effect pattern 0”, on the blue sky background screen. It can be displayed (see Fig. 15 (A)) or overlaid on the moonlit night background screen (see Fig. 17 (B)), and then yellow, red or blue bats jump out of Dracula Castle Then, a notification image corresponding to the established combination (small combination or replay) is displayed (see FIG. 15C).

  When the effect of FIG. 15B is developed in multiple stages, it is a precursor effect that has a pseudo-bonus stock and a high probability of release, or that the expectation of pseudo-bonus release is large or has been confirmed. For example, FIG. 16A shows a state where the outer gate of “Dracula Castle” is enlarged and the iron gate is about to open. Then, the door enters the Dracula Castle and the door expands (see FIG. 16B), the door is gradually opened (see FIG. 16C), and the interior of the gorgeous “Dracula Castle” is displayed (FIG. 16). (See (D)). After that, if the hero wins the battle between the protagonist and the count of vampire Dracula, the pseudo bonus will be stocked, the pseudo bonus will be released, and the actual bonus will be released and the actual bonus will be released.

  From the state where the normal screen of the night of FIG. 17 (A) (same as FIG. 15 (B)) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, the cemetery is expanded, and the character butler screams “Olya”. A hero character appears from the grave hole in the center of the screen with the sound effect “Tiroro Lolone” (see FIG. 17 (B)), and the characters “BONUS” meaning “big hit” are displayed ( It is good also as a premiere effect by making FIG.17 (C) refer. All of these display effects are also executed by receiving control commands and event data from the main control unit 100, and the sub-control unit 160 outputting the effect commands according to the program.

  FIG. 18 is a conceptual diagram of a general lottery table.

  The lottery table is stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 101, and defines the relationship between the winning combination and the number used for the random number lottery.

  In the case of the rotary type gaming machine of the present invention, the main control unit 100 generates a random value. This random number value is generated in a random manner so that all values from 0 to 65535 (m7) are periodically generated once in one cycle (about 6.5 ms). FIG. 18A is a lottery table used in a normal state (initial state or non-RT state) with a high loss probability. When the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery in accordance with the timing at which the start lever 9 is operated. If the random value is in the range of 0 to m1, the big bonus (BB) is won. That is, the internal lottery is to pick up (extract) one random number value at the time of start operation and to determine the winning combination by comparing with a lottery table.

  Similarly, regular bonus (RB) in the range of random numbers m1 + 1 to m2, cherry in the range of random numbers m2 + 1 to m3, watermelon in the range of random numbers m3 + 1 to m4, bell in the range of random numbers m4 + 1 to m5 The replay is won when the random value is in the range of m5 + 1 to m6, whereas the replay is lost in the range of the m6 + 1 to m7.

  Normally, the numerical values of m1 to m7 are appropriately set in consideration of laws and regulations (wind management law) and game characteristics, but the BB winning probability is about “1/400” and the RB winning probability is “1/300. The probability of winning for cherry and watermelon is about 1/50, the probability of winning for bell is about 1/6, and the probability of winning for replay is 1 / 7.3. In addition, although BB and RB are elected alone, they may be elected at the same time as a rare role.

  On the other hand, FIG. 18B is a lottery table used in the high-probability re-playing state (RT state). In the replay time, the winning range for replay is widened by α, while the lost range is narrowed by α. Thus, the winning probability of replay is set to about “½”. As a result, the probability of winning the replay corresponding to the three-piece payout is greatly increased, but the probability of being lost is lowered. As a result, the expected payout value of game medals is greatly improved or increased during the replay time. . Further, the main control unit 100 can set the expected value of the replay time to a desired value by increasing or decreasing the α value.

  Although a detailed drawing of the lottery table is omitted, there are six lottery tables 1, lottery tables 2... Lottery table 6 corresponding to the stage setting values 1 to 6 of the payout rate and the number of inserted medals (specified number), and the main control unit Selects a lottery table according to the stage setting value and the number of inserted medals set by the stage setting unit 150, and executes a bonus game and internal lottery of a plurality of small roles in a variable display game. Note that the expected value for winning the bonus game in the internal lottery is generally the lottery table 1 <the lottery table 2 <... <The lottery table 6, so the player pursues the high setting table. However, if it is a three-sheet machine, a lottery table with one medal is not necessary. The cherry role, watermelon role, strong bell role, and special replay role, which are generally referred to as rare roles, are set to the same number in the lottery table 1 to the lottery table 6 (that is, the winning probability is the same). When the common winning probability combination is won, the main control unit 100 does not end the advantageous game as the advantageous interval being executed.

  Specifically, in the normal section, the main control unit 100 determines the special zone started by the decision to shift to the advantageous section and the end lot of the advantageous section such as ART regardless of the winning combination (see the lottery result) For example, an end lottery (a uniform end lottery) is executed with a probability of 1/2. On the other hand, in the case of winning of the end, the main control unit 100 determines to end the advantageous section. At that time, referring to the result of lottery, if the common winning probability winning is won, the end determination is invalid ( Cancel). As another method, the main control unit 100 refers to the lottery result, and when the common winning probability combination is won, the main control unit 100 continues the advantageous section without executing the uniform end lottery. When not winning, the uniform end lottery is executed, and when not winning, the advantageous section is continued, while when winning the end, the main control unit 100 ends the advantageous section.

  For example, if it is assumed that the special zone (advantageous section) is 10 games, the special zone will continue for 10 games, and even if the next eleventh game falls down with a probability of 1/2 and the fall is decided, And it does not fall when winning the push order bell (Common Winning Probability Role), but usually falls when replaying or losing. Similarly, assuming that the high-probability zone (advantageous section) is 20 games, 20 high-probability zones will continue, and the next 21 games will fall when a rare role and push order bell (common winning probability role) are won. The game shifts to the next game without a lottery, but if a replay or losing is drawn, a falling lottery will be held, and if it is not won, the advantageous section will be continued. End the section.

  FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing an advantageous section processing procedure.

  Referring to FIG. 51A, when the main control unit 100 wins the advantageous section transition lottery in the normal section, the main control section 100 executes the advantageous section game in step S200, and whether or not the end lottery condition is satisfied in step S205. If not established, the process proceeds to step S200. If established, an end lottery is executed in step S210. The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the end condition is satisfied in step S215. If not, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S200. If it is satisfied, whether the common winning probability combination is won in step S220. It is judged whether or not, and if it is won, the process proceeds to step S200.

  Referring to FIG. 51 (B), when the main control unit 100 wins the advantageous section transition lottery in the normal section, it executes a game in the advantageous section in step S250, and whether or not the end lottery condition is satisfied in step S255. If not established, the process proceeds to step S250. If established, it is determined in step S260 whether or not a common winning probability combination has been won. If it has been won, the process proceeds to step S250. On the other hand, if not won, the process proceeds to step S265. The main control unit 100 executes the end lottery in step S265, determines whether the end condition is satisfied in step S270, and proceeds to step S250 if not satisfied, or ends if it is satisfied.

  FIG. 19 is a payout table showing the relationship between the combination of symbols and the number of acquired medals.

  BB (Big Bonus) is a title when the BB symbol of “Red 7”, the BB symbol of “Blue 7”, and the BB symbol of “Yellow 7” are aligned on the active line. When flag 1 is set in the flag area and these symbols are aligned, the number of medals won is 0, and the player enters the big bonus game (BB1 game to BB3 game: operation of the continuous action device) and finishes with payout exceeding 359 cards. To do.

  RB (Regular Bonus) is RB design of “Red 7”, “Red 7” and “BAR”, RB design of “Blue 7” “Blue 7” “BAR”, “Yellow 7” “Yellow 7” “BAR” This is the name of the role when the RB symbols are aligned on the active line. When winning internally, flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and when this symbol is aligned, the number of medals won is 0 and the regular bonus game (RB game: character) The operation enters the operation of the continuous operation device) and finishes with payout exceeding 119 sheets. Note that these accessory continuous action devices may be either a first-type special accessory or a second-type special accessory, and are appropriately selected according to design specifications. As will be described later, the RT machine model predetermines a high-probability game in which, when a bonus game started by winning a bonus combination is completed, the winning probability of the re-playing combination is higher than a predetermined probability. Can be executed as many times as required. In addition, in this RT machine, when a specific symbol is displayed in a high-probability game, a high-probability game in which the winning probability of the re-gamer fluctuates can be executed a predetermined number of times.

  When the cherry symbol stops on the effective line of the left drum, one medal is obtained for each effective line. For example, if the effective line is the display determination diagram of FIG. 14, the number is one if the middle part of the left drum is stopped, but if it is the upper stage or the lower stage, there are two effective lines, and the payout is two sheets in total. When the watermelon symbols are aligned on the active line, 5 medals are obtained. When the bell symbols are aligned on the active line, 8 medals are obtained.

  When the replay combination is won internally, flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and any of the replay action symbols is always aligned on the active line (also referred to as a replay combination prize). When the replay operation symbol is displayed, the replay without medal acquisition is activated, and the replay is performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player to lower the flag (ie, 0). That is, the next game can be played without inserting medals. The timing for lowering the flag is arbitrary.

  FIG. 46 is a main part of the configuration diagram of the transition replay combination and the gaming state transition diagram (RT state) of the RT machine, and a part of the RT state is omitted.

  RT0 in FIG. 46 (B) is an initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay role (replaying role) does not fluctuate. From the game immediately after the step set value is re-entered, the initial state ( It is also referred to as “initial replay state.”) And the normal game (general game) can be started. The replay winning probability (replay probability) in the general game is about 1 / 7.3. When BB1 (Big Bonus 1 of the actual bonus) is won internally and carried over in the base game, the BB1 internal winning with a replay probability of about 1/3 is in progress. BB1 bonus game can be started by displaying the BB1 action pattern (red 7, red 7, red 7), and BB1 bonus game by paying out 359 (more than 360) of the prescribed number in BB1 game Ends. When the bonus game of BB1 is finished, the RT1 state is entered and 25 games (predetermined number of times) of high probability games can be executed, and when the game results of 25 games are obtained, the initial state is entered and the normal game starts. It becomes possible. In this RT1 state, as a replaying combination, at least a non-variable replay combination that does not change the RT state (also referred to as “normal replay combination”) and a first transition replay combination (transition lip A_1 in FIG. 46A) are drawn by lottery. Is done. The first transition replay combination is a re-game combination that RPLY1 and RPLY2 win simultaneously. When a normal replay symbol (indicated as “lip”, “lip”, or “lip” in FIG. 46A) is displayed on the active line, RPLY1 is awarded (actuated). When a specific transition symbol (shown as blue seven, lip, or lip in FIG. 46A) is displayed on the active line, RPLY2 is awarded (actuated). When a specific transition symbol is displayed in the RT1 state, the main control unit 100 changes the probability that the re-gamer will win and sets the RT4 state to RT game of 50 games (predetermined number of times) (high probability game). ) Is executable. On the other hand, even if the normal replay symbol is displayed, the main control unit 100 does not change the probability that the re-game player is won and maintains the RT1 state. For example, when a specific transition symbol is displayed in the 20th game in the RT1 state, the next game is in the RT4 state, and it is possible to play 50 games of RT games, resulting in high probability games of 70 games. However, the RT4 state ends when the real bonus is won in the RT game on the way. Similarly, when the real bonus is won in the middle RT1 game, the RT1 state ends.

  When BB2 (actual bonus big bonus 2) is won internally and carried over in the normal game, the BB2 internal winning with a replay probability of about 1/3 is in progress. When the BB2 action symbol (blue 7, blue 7, blue 7) is displayed, the bonus game of BB2 can be started, and the bonus game of BB2 is ended by paying out a predetermined number of 359 cards. When the bonus game of BB2 is completed, the RT2 state is entered and a high-probability game of 25 games can be executed. When the game result of 25 games is obtained, the game enters the initial state and the normal game can be started. In this RT2 state, at least a re-playing combination including a non-variable replay combination that does not change the RT state and a second transition replay combination (transition lip A_2 in FIG. 46A) is drawn. The second transition replay combination is a replay combination in which RPLY1, RPLY2, and RPLY3 are won simultaneously, but the operation pattern of RPLY3 is not displayed. When the normal replay symbol is displayed on the active line, RPLY1 is won. When a specific transition symbol is displayed on the active line, RPLY2 is awarded. When a specific transition symbol is displayed in the RT2 state, the main control unit 100 changes the probability that the re-gamer wins to change to the RT4 state, thereby enabling the RT game (high probability game) of 50 games to be executed. On the other hand, even if the normal replay symbol is displayed, the main control unit 100 does not change the probability that the re-game player is won and maintains the RT1 state.

  Although not shown in the figure, when BB3 (actual bonus big bonus 3) is internally won and carried over in the base game, the BB3 internal winning with a replay probability of about 1/3 is in progress. When the operation pattern of BB3 (yellow 7, yellow 7, yellow 7) is displayed, the bonus game of BB3 can be started, and the bonus game of BB3 is ended by paying out a predetermined number of 359 cards. When the bonus game of BB3 ends, the RT3 state is entered, and high-probability games of 25 games can be executed. When the game results of 25 games are obtained, the initial state is entered and the normal game can be started. In this RT3 state, at least a re-playing combination including a non-variable replay combination that does not change the RT state and a third transition replay combination (transition lip A_3 in FIG. 46A) is drawn. The second transition replay combination is a replay combination in which RPLY1, RPLY2, and RPLY4 are won at the same time, but the operation pattern of RPLY4 is not displayed. When the normal replay symbol is displayed on the active line, RPLY1 is won. When a specific transition symbol is displayed on the active line, RPLY2 is awarded. When a specific transition symbol is displayed in the RT2 state, the main control unit 100 changes the probability that the re-gamer wins to change to the RT4 state, thereby enabling the RT game (high probability game) of 50 games to be executed. On the other hand, even if the normal replay symbol is displayed, the main control unit 100 does not change the probability that the re-game player is won and maintains the RT1 state.

  In the RT1 state, the first transition replay combination is won by lottery as the transition replay combination, but the second transition replay combination and the third transition replay combination are not selected because they are not selected. Similarly, in the RT2 state, the second transition replay combination is won by lottery as the transition replay combination, but the first transition replay combination and the third transition replay combination are not lottery and are not won. Further, in the RT3 state, the third transition replay combination is won by lottery as the transition replay combination, but the first transition replay combination and the second transition replay combination are not selected by lottery.

  47 to 50 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  The main control unit 100 controls the first transition replay combination to be displayed in the RT1 state, and controls the specific transition symbol to be displayed on the effective line by the reverse pressing operation (specific operation) of the stop button portion 10. RPLY2 wins by displaying. The same applies to the case where the second transition replay combination is internally won in the RT2 state and the case where the third transition replay combination is internally selected in the RT3 state, but the main control unit 100 changes the stop control in each state, The drawing range of 7 symbols is made different.

  FIG. 47 (A) shows the right stop by the first stop operation (first operation) in a state where any one of the first transition replay combination to the third transition replay combination is internally won and all the reel drums are rotating. The button 10c is operated, and the replay symbol is displayed on the first line of the active line. FIG. 47B shows that the middle stop button 10b is operated by the second stop operation (next operation), and the replay symbol is displayed on the first line of the active line.

  In FIG. 47C, the left stop button 10a is operated by the third stop operation (last operation), the blue 7 symbol is not drawn, the replay symbol is displayed on the first line of the active line, and RPLY1 is Indicates that the prize has been won. 47A, when the left stop button 10a is operated by the second stop operation and the middle stop button 10b is operated by the third stop operation, RPLY1 wins and the main control unit 100 Stop control is performed so that RPLY2 does not win. FIG. 47D shows that the left stop button 10a is operated at the timing when the blue 7 symbol is pulled in by the third stop operation, the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the first line of the active line, and RPLY2 wins. ing. The main control unit 100 varies the timing (the range of the number of frames or the pull-in range) at which the blue 7 symbol can be pulled in according to the first transition replay role to the third transition replay role.

  In FIG. 48A, the first transition replay combination is won internally, the right stop button 10c is operated by the first stop operation, the middle stop button 10b is operated by the second stop operation, and on the first line of the active line. Two replay symbols are displayed, indicating that only the left drum 2a is rotating. In FIG. 48 (B), the left drum 2a is rotating. 7 shows a state where watermelon symbols 7 are located on the first line and can be stopped. When the left stop button 10a is operated in the state of FIG. 48 (B), the main control unit 100 controls No. 1 located on the four frames which are the maximum drawing range by the five frame control. 3 blue 7 symbols are drawn on the first line and stopped (see FIG. 48C). That is, no. If the blue 7 symbol of 3 is within 0 to 4 frames, it is drawn on the first line. In addition, No. The 5 replay symbols are not stopped.

  In FIG. 49A, the second transition replay combination is won internally, the right stop button 10c is operated by the first stop operation, the middle stop button 10b is operated by the second stop operation, and on the first line of the active line. Two replay symbols are displayed, indicating that only the left drum 2a is rotating. In FIG. 49 (B), the left drum 2a is rotating. A red 7 symbol of 4 is located on the first line, and shows a state where bitterness can be stopped. When the left stop button 10a is operated in the state of FIG. 49 (B), the main control unit 100 moves the No. 3 blue 7 symbols are drawn on the first line and stopped (see FIG. 49C). That is, no. If the blue 7 symbol of 3 is within 0 to 1 frame, it is drawn on the first line. Pull 1 replay symbol.

  In FIG. 50A, the third transition replay combination is won internally, the right stop button 10c is operated by the first stop operation, the middle stop button 10b is operated by the second stop operation, and on the first line of the active line. Two replay symbols are displayed, indicating that only the left drum 2a is rotating. In FIG. 50B, the left drum 2a is rotating. The blue 7 symbol of 3 is located on the first line and shows a state where bitterness can be stopped. When the left stop button 10a is operated in the state of FIG. 3 blue 7 symbols are drawn onto the first line and stopped (see FIG. 50C). That is, no. 3 is drawn on the first line only when the blue 7 symbol of 0 is 0 frame (bita stop position). Pull 1 replay symbol. That is, when the main control unit 100 executes control to display a specific transition symbol (blue 7 symbol), the main control unit 100 determines the movement range of at least one of the first and second transition re-game players. Therefore, it is possible to change the difficulty level of the main line by the player. Similarly, it is different from the third transition re-gamer.

  Next, the basic operation of the swivel type gaming machine configured as described above will be described with reference to a flowchart and the like.

  First, in a state in which the spinning machine is shipped from the factory, as a default, the warning mode when the step-out rate setting operation is performed is “ON”, and the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) is “ It is assumed that “off” and the lowest step setting value “1” is set.

  When the game hall side opens the front door of the swivel type gaming machine body 1 and turns on the power switch 28c before the player plays, the power is supplied to each circuit block, and the main control unit 100 will be described later. In step S100, initial check (hardware abnormality check, etc.) and initial setting (for example, writing the stop setting flag “1”, the step setting value “1” stored in the ROM 101 and the initial value of the control data to the RAM 102) are executed. Then, the sub-control unit 160 sets the warning mode to “ON”, and when the front door 1b is closed, the variable display game can be played.

  In this state, it is assumed that the game hall side is changing the setting of the payout rate for the grand opening, the opening of a new store or an event in this setting state.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a main operation processing procedure of the spinning cylinder type game machine.

  An employee of the gaming hall opens the front door of the swing type gaming machine body 1 to turn off the power switch 28c, inserts the setting change key into the setting key switch 28a, and turns it to the right to turn it on (FIG. 2). When the power switch 28c is turned on again, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after the initial check and initial setting are executed in step S100, the main control unit 100 performs step In S110, it is determined whether or not the setting key switch 28a is in an ON state.

  If the setting key switch 28a is not in the ON state, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S130. If the setting key switch 28a is in the ON state, the main control unit 100 calls a setting change subroutine in step S120 (transfers to the setting change mode).

  In the setting change mode of step S120, before the game hall side causes the player to play, the step setting value “6” having the highest payout rate is input, the start lever 9 is hit once, the setting value is confirmed, and the setting key switch When 28a is turned off, the main control unit 100 returns to step S100, sets the set value to “6”, and performs necessary processing such as initial hardware check and initial setting again. As one of the initial settings, when the main control unit 100 executes the setting change, the main control unit 100 determines the time designation information (what time and what number) for designating the first time indicated by the clock accessory 50 by lottery, and this time designation. Information (clock alignment information) is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 sets the long hand and the short hand of the timepiece 50 to the initial position after the setting change based on the received time designation information. As a result, the timepiece 50 displays the game time.

  However, as another setting change method, the number of times the start lever 9 is struck (number of operations) is stored, the set value is determined, and some or all of the RAM areas are cleared according to the number of times to clear. Since the RAM area may be subjected to necessary processing such as initial setting, the method will be described below.

  FIG. 44 is a memory map. FIG. 45 is a flowchart of the setting change device.

The ROM area of the main control unit 100 is from address 0000h to EFFFh, the area used (including the unused area) is from address 0000h to address 2FFFh, and thereafter the unused area. The RAM area of the main control unit 100 is from the address F000h to the address FFFFh, the area used is from the address F000h to the address F1FFh, and the area after that is an unused area. The ROM area includes a program area for storing a main program for operating the main control unit 100, a plurality of data areas, a plurality of program management areas, and an unused area. The RAM area is composed of a plurality of used RAM areas 1 to N, a stack area, and an unused area for temporarily storing data necessary to advance the game. In a conventional gaming machine, when setting is changed, the setting key is turned ON to turn on the power, the setting value is determined with the setting button, the setting value is determined when the setting key is turned OFF after tapping the start lever once, and the setting is determined in advance. The assigned RAM area is cleared. The RAM area to be cleared is determined for each gaming machine and cannot be selected by the hall manager. In some cases, even if it is desired to completely initialize due to troubles, the setting change process may not be possible. . In order to solve this, the RAM area to be cleared differs depending on the number of times the start lever is pressed, thereby improving the convenience in the hall. That is, in the present invention, the RAM area to be cleared can be changed according to the number of times the start lever is pressed in the setting change operation.

  For example, if the number of hits of the start lever is one, only the set value is changed, and the game state and the like can inherit all the data before the setting change. If the number of times of tapping is 2, only the set value change and instruction function parameters are cleared (data is rewritten to 0) and initialized, and other data can be taken over before the setting change. If the number of strikes is 3, the set value change, instruction function parameter clear and game state (RT state, bonus in progress, carryover flag) are cleared and initialized, and other data may be taken over from the previous setting change. it can. If the number of times of tapping is four times, complete initialization (that is, the same state as when each ROM and RAM is mounted, that is, the same as when shipped from the factory) can be performed. Further, if the RAM to be cleared is further divided, it is possible to perform initial settings as necessary.

  The main control unit 100 loads the current set value from the memory (RAM area) in step S300, and displays the value in step S310. The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the start lever 9 has been operated in step S320. If the start control unit 100 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S350. If the change switch (setting button) is operated in step S330, the main control unit 100 adds 1 to the set value in step S340 and displays the value in step S310. If not operated, step S320 is performed. Migrate to

  The main control unit 100 stores the number of times the start lever 9 has been operated in step S350, waits for the setting switch to change from the ON state to the OFF state in step S360, and when the setting switch becomes OFF, the setting value changed in step S370. Is set (stored) in the RAM. The main control unit 100 clears (initializes) some or all of the plurality of RAM areas determined according to the number of operations N stored in step S380, and performs initial setting of the RAM areas cleared in step S390. Exit this subroutine.

  Here, returning to FIG. 20, when the main control unit 100 outputs control data to the sub control unit 160 in order to perform display setting of the initial screen in step S100, the sub control unit 160, for example, produces ($ Y0) as an effect command. $ 01) is transmitted to the display effect device 11. As a result, on the display panel 11e, “Night effect pattern 1” composed of a screen of the full moon, Dracula Castle and the graveyard is displayed as a start screen (not shown).

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S130 after changing the stage setting value, the main control unit 100 checks for occurrence of an abnormality such as a door open, a hopper error, or a selector error. If there is an abnormality, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S140 and again after the abnormality processing. If the process returns to step S100 and there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S150. In particular, the main control unit 100 uses 0 to 5 as the step check value data stored in the work RAM area as the abnormality check (the step set values displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c correspond to 1 to 6, respectively). ), And if the step set value is not within the predetermined range, a warning (“EE” error character display) is displayed by the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. , Light emission and warning sound) are generated, and error processing (abnormal processing in step S140) is performed.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S150, the medal detection sensor 130 or the bet button sensor 140 determines whether or not the player has inserted a quantity of game medals necessary for the game. In step S160, on the other hand, if not inserted, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping each step until a medal insertion operation is performed.

  In particular, when the star lever is pressed when the number of inserted medals is less than the maximum prescribed number (1 or 2), the operation of the rotation device is carried over until the next start lever is pressed. You can also. Also, when the first start lever is pressed, “pu, pu” is output as a light warning sound. That is, when the start means is operated in a state where the maximum bet number is set for one game, the main control unit 100 receives the operation and executes the game. However, when the start means is operated in a state where the bet number smaller than the maximum bet number is set, the main control unit 100 accepts the operation and waits for the execution of the game (outputs a warning sound). If the start means is operated again during the standby, the operation is accepted again and the game is executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent a gaming machine having a plurality of prescribed numbers from playing less than the maximum prescribed number.

  When the process proceeds to step S160, the main control unit 100 checks whether or not the player has started the variable display game by operating the start lever. If not, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping each step until a start operation is performed.

  In step S170, the main control unit 100 executes the main process of the variable display game, performs a random number lottery in accordance with the reception timing of the start signal, and picks up (extracts) the random number value and the current internal state (RT or non-RT). The lottery table is compared to determine whether or not an internal winning is made (see the explanation of FIG. 18).

  The main control unit 100 transmits a lottery result command and a game start signal to the sub control unit 160, and simultaneously rotates the drum unit 2 to display a plurality of numbers displayed on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c. The change display game for changing the symbols at a predetermined speed is started.

  As described in FIGS. 9 and 10, the main control unit 100 operates the left stop button 10 a, the middle stop button 10 b, or the right stop button 10 c of the stop button unit 10 to each symbol row (rotating belt). Is stopped, pull-in control for aligning the symbols corresponding to the internal winning combination on the active line, and conversely, avoidance control for preventing the symbols from being aligned. Further, when the sub-control unit 160 receives the lottery result command and the game start signal from the main control unit 100, the effect lottery for determining whether or not to perform the effect display on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. The player is notified of the lottery result of the big win (bonus winning), the small role, the replay or the loss according to the operation of the stop button section 10. The main control unit 100 executes stop control with reference to the sliding frame number table.

  The main control unit 100 establishes a winning combination if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on the active line of the window 3 in each variable display game of the general game, and the payout table stored in the ROM 161 (see FIG. 19). ), The game medal is paid out from the medal payout device 18 and discharged from the medal payout exit 16 for the addition of the credit or the payout exceeding the storage upper limit value.

  In the big bonus game (BB game) in which three red 7s are arranged, the BB game mode is terminated when the accessory continuous operation device operates and the acquired number exceeds 360. In addition, in a regular bonus game (RB game) with three blue 7 symbols, the RB game mode is terminated when the winning action continuous operation device is activated and the acquired number exceeds 120. .

  And the main control part 100 will return to step S130, and will repeat a process sequentially, after complete | finishing the game main process of step S170.

Modifications of the basic embodiment:
Modification 1: It has been devised that the player can select the rotation speed of the three reels at the start of the game, and provide a bonus in which the number of payouts varies depending on the rotation speed.

  For example, at the time of winning (Cherry-Cherry-Cherry) as a cherry role, the payout is 15 if the reel rotation speed is 100, the payout is 10 if it is 80, and the payout is 5 if it is 60. It becomes a sheet. Only one cherry symbol is arranged on each reel, and it is very difficult to align the cherry pattern if it cannot be pressed. During this bonus, only the cherry role is won (that is, the 100% cherry role is won), and if there are not three cherry symbols, no payout can be obtained, and the bonus is tested for the aim. Bonus ends when a certain number of coins are paid out. Assuming that the number of inserted coins is three, there is no payout if it cannot be pushed, and three medals are reduced in one game. As an effect, the customer can select a reel rotation speed that can be easily identified according to his / her skill (improvement force), and can play at an optimum reel rotation speed. In addition, the faster the speed (= difficult), the higher the number of payouts, thereby tickling the challenge spirit of customers to improve their skills to obtain more payouts. Customers with higher skills (pushing power) can consume bonuses more quickly, and the number of inserted coins is reduced, resulting in an increase in the number of winnings.

  Modification 2: A bonus has been devised in which the number of payouts varies depending on the number of drawn frames.

  For example, the left reel has only one BAR symbol, and the middle reel and the right reel have a 100% bell symbol pull-in (that is, only the left reel needs to be pressed). During this bonus, only (BAR-Bell-Bell) can be won as this BAR role (that is, the BAR role is won at 100% of each game), and when the BAR role is won, the BAR symbol slips 0 frames (bita stop) ) 15 dividends, 12 dividends if the BAR symbol slides one frame, 9 dividends if the BAR symbol slides two frames, 6 dividends if the AR symbol slides three frames If the AR symbol is a four-frame slide, three payouts are awarded, and if the AR symbol is other than those shown on the left, the payout is 0. When the left reel is stopped, the number of frames of the slipped reel is displayed on the main display (PAYOUT) and an effect display such as a liquid crystal display. As an effect, the number of winnings obtained according to the customer's skill fluctuates, thereby tickling the customer's challenge spirit of polishing the skill to obtain more dividends. It becomes a pachislot machine that reflects the skill of the customer more greatly.

  Variation 3: A bonus combining the variations 1 and 2 is also possible, and the more difficult the condition, the larger the number of payouts. For example, 15 payouts with 100 rotations + bita stop, 12 payouts with 80 rotations + bita stop, 9 payouts with 60 rotations + bita stop, 12 payouts with 100 rotations + 1 frame slide, 80 rotations + 1 frame 9 slips for sliding, 6 dividends for 60 rotations + 1 frame sliding, and so on. As an effect, the ability to select the reel rotation speed creates a strategy that allows customers to think about how to acquire medals according to their skills.

  Modification 4: A bonus was devised that allows customers to select the number of reel sliding frames. The “sliding frame number” is an auxiliary function for displaying symbols for customers. The customer can select the level (degree) of the auxiliary function, and if a difficult item (that is, the number of sliding symbols is reduced) is selected, the number of payouts of the displayed symbol combination increases according to the difficulty level. Like that. The number of sliding frames selected by the customer is displayed on the main display (PAYOUT) and an effect display such as a liquid crystal display. For example, “Selecting one frame slip” is displayed. If a small role that is not 100% drawn and may be missed wins (winning combination wins), if you win with a 0 frame slide (slide pear), you will receive 15 dividends for all roles and 1 frame slide Dividends of 12 for all roles, 9 wins for all roles when winning with 2 slides, 6 payouts for all roles when winning with 3 slides, 3 dividends for all roles when winning with 4 slides Become. As an effect, the number of sliding symbols (auxiliary function) can be selected, so that the customer can think of a medal acquisition method according to his / her skill.

  Modification 5: A bonus that allows the customer to select the viewing range of the reel has been devised. In general, the reel viewing range is 9 symbols of 3 frames × 3 reels in the case of 3 reels. If the viewing range is narrow, the range for identifying the symbols becomes narrow, so that it is difficult for the player to press. The customer can select the upper and lower visual recognition ranges, and the narrower the visual recognition range, the higher the number of payouts when winning a symbol. For example, if the view range is 1 line in the middle stage, 15 payouts for all roles, and if the view range is 2 lines in the middle + lower, 12 payouts in all roles, the view range is 3 lines in the upper + middle + lower lines. Then, 9 dividends will be given for all roles. As an effect, a strategy is born in which the customer considers a medal acquisition method according to his / her skill (the degree of identification of the symbol and the aiming ability). As a device for changing the viewing range, for example, a reel shutter employed in “Oshino! Salaryman Bancho” manufactured by Daito Giken can be used. This reel shutter is arranged in front of three reels and has a structure that can be moved up and down, and the viewing range can be freely set to 1 to 3 lines. As another method, the viewing range can be freely set to 1 to 3 lines by arranging the liquid crystal panel on the front surface of the three reels and controlling the liquid crystal so as to be transparent or black.

  Variation 6: A gaming machine has been devised in which the bonus drawing probability varies depending on the combination of the time from when the stop button can be operated until all reels stop and the outcome at that time. In short, if you stop the reel early and stop the reel at a more accurate position, the bonus probability increases. In other words, stopping the reels quickly and accurately affects the bonus probability.

  Variant 7: A bonus has been devised that ends when a specific symbol combination (puncture role) is aligned. Further, the puncture combination is determined by lottery for each bonus operation. The combination of puncture symbols includes a good pull-in and a bad pull-in, and a good pull-in has a performance of making it difficult to avoid. If game characteristics are further added, a chance zone for changing the lottery state of the punk role is provided. In the case of a bonus that is won during the chance zone, a puncture role that is poorly drawn (one that is easy to avoid) can easily be selected.

  Modification 8: An accessory that increases the effective line with the same specified number was devised. For example, 1-line effective becomes 15-line effective, and 1-sheet combination changes to 15-sheet combination. For example, there is (ANY-Cherry-ANY) as a cherry role, and in the normal game, one payout is made for one line in the middle stage, but during the bonus with the same specified number, it is increased to 15 lines and becomes a 15-piece payout. In the row rules, the active line cannot be changed with the same specified number, but if there are many active lines like a casino slot machine, the number of payouts will increase even if the same winnings are made.

  Next, the operation of the swivel type gaming machine having the basic configuration as described above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and flowcharts. In particular, a revolving gaming machine in which the winning probability of replay varies and a real bonus and an assist bonus (such as ART, a third bonus, or a pseudo bonus) are mounted will be described.

  FIG. 21 is a symbol layout diagram of the drum.

  In each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a swirl belt (not shown) on which a left drum symbol, a middle drum symbol, and a right drum symbol are drawn so as to make a round at the outer periphery of each drum. It is attached to.

  Each swirl belt has a different design (red seven design, jewelry design, BAR design, bell design, cherry design, watermelon 1 design, watermelon 2 design, replay 1 design, replay 2 design, replay 3 design 10 21 types are arranged.

  FIG. 22 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the active line of the window unit 3 according to the number of inserted game medals (FIG. 22 ( A)). However, in all games (normal game, assist game, bonus game, etc.), the description will be made assuming that the specified number is three.

  FIG. 22B is an effective line when a prescribed number of game medals are inserted, and the first line (middle stage, middle stage, middle stage: center horizontal line in the order of left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c). Only) is valid. In other words, in all games, three cards are always inserted, and the effective line is the central horizontal one line.

  FIG. 23 is a payout table at the normal time and at the time of bonus operation.

  When all three reels (rotating drums or drums) are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the active line (see FIG. 22).

  (1) Bonus 1 (the continuous action device for the second type special accessory): (replay 1 / replay 2 / replay 3) on the left drum 2a, (BAR / jewel / cherry) on the middle drum 2b, right drum When (Replay 1) is stopped on the active line in 2c, the acquired number is 0 and bonus 1 is subsequently given (Type 2 BB1 is activated. Operation pattern 1). Similarly, (replay 1 / replay 2 / replay 3) on the left drum 2a, (replay 2 / replay 3) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR / jewel / watermelon 1) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line and stopped. (Acting pattern 2) or (cherry / watermelon 2) on the left drum 2a, (BAR / jewel / cherry) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR / jewel / watermelon 1) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. When the operation is stopped (operation pattern 3), bonus 1 is awarded. For example, the bonus 1 ends when the winning probability is 1/350, the specified number of games inserted in the bonus 1 is three, and the number of payouts exceeds 180. Bonus 1 is won in the lottery and the bonus 1 flag is set, so that bonus 1 can be won. Bonus 1 is always won simultaneously with either the small role or the replay role. You can't win a prize.

  Further, when bonus 1 is won internally and the winning is not achieved, the carry-over state in which bonus 1 is won internally after the next game is entered. This bonus 1 is a penetrating type 2 BB, and even if the internal winning, operation (winning), or operation of bonus 1 ends, the replay winning probability does not change. In the carry-over state of bonus 1, if the internal lottery is unreasonable (pure loss), the bonus action symbol is always drawn to win (drawing 100%). In particular, if a bonus order is won in the carry-over state of Bonus 1 and the operation order is wrong, the obstructing role will win with a probability of about 2/3, while the bonus action pattern will have a probability of about 1/3. Is displayed. In other words, when the bonus 1 and the push order small combination are won simultaneously, any of the small combinations constituting it wins, or the bonus 1 wins.

  In all games such as normal games and ART games (see FIG. 31), when the bonus 1 is won and the jewel symbols are aligned (in a state) in the center line during the actual bonus game, the magic lamp of the magic formation 51 Lights up one by one in the order of blue, yellow, green and red. For example, when the normal replay 1 is won while all four jewel lamps are lit, the winning combination conversion process is performed on the assumption that the bell role has been won. When a strong cherry is won, a winning combination conversion process is performed assuming that a confirmed combination has been won (see FIG. 52).

  (2) Middle bell: This is the title when the bell symbols are aligned and stopped on the effective line of each drum, and the number obtained is 14.

  (3) Lower right bell: For example, when (replay 2) is on the left drum 2a, (bell) is on the middle drum 2b, and (replay 1) is on the right drum 2c and stops on the effective line, Displayed, and the lower right bell wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired is 14.

  (4) Upper watermelon: For example, when left drum 2a (bell), middle drum 2b (replay 2) and right drum 2c (cherry) are aligned on the active line and stopped, the watermelon symbol is displayed on the upper stage. Watermelon wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired is one.

  (5) Lower right watermelon: For example, when (bell) on the left drum 2a, (watermelon 1) on the middle drum 2b, and (cherry) on the right drum 2c are aligned and stopped on the effective line, a watermelon pattern is displayed on the lower right. The lower right watermelon wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired is one.

  (6) Double cherries (weak cherries): For example, when the second drum (BAR) is placed on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b (cherry) and the right drum 2c (bell) are aligned on the effective line and stopped Two cherry symbols are displayed on the uphill and two consecutive cherries win. The number of medals (game media) acquired is two.

  (7) Triple Cherry (Strong Cherry): For example, when (BAR) No. 2 on the left drum 2a, (Cherry) on the middle drum 2b, and (Watermelon 2) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped, Three cherry symbols are displayed on the upper right and triple cherries win. The number of medals won is two. Note that (white seven) may stop on the right drum 2c.

  (8) Middle cherries: For example, when the left drum 2a is number 3 (cherry), the middle drum 2b is number 2 (BAR), and the right drum 2c is number 1 (bell) on the active line, Middle tier cherry wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired is two. It is possible to display three BAR symbols on the right side. The middle cherry role is an opportunity for freezing lottery, and when won, a freezing effect (reel lock and reel effect) is performed, and a pseudo bonus is immediately released.

  (9) Premier role: For example, when (jewel) on the left drum 2a, (jewel) on the middle drum 2b, and (jewel) on the right drum 2c are aligned and stopped on the active line, the premium role wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired is 14. This premier role is a special role in which a plurality of pseudo bonuses are won, and the pseudo bonuses are immediately released.

  (10) Plural types of one-piece combinations: For example, when the left drum 2a (Replay 1), the middle drum 2b (BAR), and the right drum 2c (BAR) are aligned on the active line and stopped, the one-piece combination 1 Won the prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired is one. This one-piece combination is a small combination for stop control, and there are a plurality of types of one-piece combination 1 to one-piece combination n (n is a natural number of 2 or more). Is omitted.

  (11) Normal replay: The title when the replay symbols (replays 1 to 3) are aligned on the active line for each drum, and no medals are obtained, but the number of bets in the game is maintained. The next game can be played. Even if the next game is continuously arranged, it is effective, and it is possible to continue playing without consuming coins until a game in which replay is not established. An effect in which medals are automatically inserted before the start of the game is performed, and the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When a normal replay is independently won in random lottery, an RP flag corresponding to the flag area is set and a replay symbol is always displayed. In appearance, the replay symbols are aligned in a central horizontal line. The replay probability does not fluctuate even if the operation pattern of replay A is displayed.

  (12) RT1 transition replay (replay 1): For example, it is a title when (jewel) on the left drum 2a, (bell) on the middle drum 2b, (bell) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line, On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. In appearance, the replay symbols are aligned in the upper straight line. When the RT1 transition replay is internally won in the random lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 1 is activated, the replay probability is changed, and the RT1 state is transitioned (so-called fall fall replay). Similarly, as a replay that shifts to the RT1 state, there is also a lower stage replay in which the replay symbols are aligned in the lower stage straight line.

  (13) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): The title when the left drum 2a (bell), the middle drum 2b (replay), and the right drum 2c (bell) are aligned on the effective line. On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but the next game can be performed in a state where the bet number of the game is maintained. In appearance, the replay symbols align in a straight line on the upper right. When the RT2 transition replay is won internally by random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 2 is activated, the replay probability is changed to about 2/3, and the RT2 state is transitioned.

  (14) RT3 transition replay (replay 3): For example, when the left drum 2a (watermelon 2), the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c (bell) are aligned on the active line On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. In appearance, the replay symbol is displayed in a V shape. When the RT3 transition replay is won internally by random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 3 is activated, the replay probability is changed to about 2/3, and the RT3 state is transitioned.

  (15) Other replays: For example, (replay) on the left drum 2a, (replay) on the middle drum 2b, and (watermelon) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line, but it appears as if the replay pattern is missing. There is a chance replay to be done. In addition, the left drum 2a (bell), the middle drum 2b (red seven), the right drum 2c (watermelon) are aligned on the active line, and the red seven symbol is displayed on the lower right, There is a bonus replay 2 in which the drum 2a (cherry), the middle drum 2b (red seven), the right drum 2c (watermelon) are aligned on the active line, and the BAR symbols are displayed in a straight line on the upper stage. Bonus replay 1 is displayed when a big bonus is won as a pseudo bonus, and bonus replay 2 is displayed when a regular bonus is won. In other words, when the pseudo bonus is won, it is instructed to aim at the red seven symbol by reverse pressing, and when the right drum 2c and the middle drum 2b are stopped, both the bonus replay 1 and the bonus replay 2 are in a tempered state, and the final operation When the left drum 2a stops, either bonus replay 1 or bonus replay 2 wins. In addition, (11) normal replay to (15) other replays are those in which a plurality of types of replays are won at the same time, and in particular, replays that are predetermined according to the operation order are won. This is called push order replay.

  (16) Cobbing order (1 to m) of push order small role (push order bell role): Special symbol (falling design) displayed on the effective line when the bell role is missed by the push order small role described later When any one of the special symbols is displayed, the replay probability is changed, and the state shifts to the RT1 state. For example, when (replay) is displayed on the left drum 2a, (bell) is displayed on the middle drum 2b, and (jewel) is displayed on the active line (displaying a falling symbol) on the right drum 2c, the gaming state shifts to the RT1 state ( Others are omitted). The main control unit 100 manages the push order small combination and the push order replay as a group combination (or push order group combination), and during the non-AT (when the assist function is not activated), Alternatively, information indicating that the group combination has been won is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160 regardless of which of the push order replays is won internally. The main control unit 100 transmits the winning combination information to the sub-control unit 160 after the second stop operation, and the sub-control unit 160 produces an effect based on the winning combination information.

  FIG. 24 and FIG. 25 are combination tables (simultaneous winning pattern of small combinations) of condition devices of push order small combinations (middle first or right first).

  The push order small combination means that when the operation order of the stop button unit 10 (the push order of the stop button unit 10) is correct, the bell small combination (middle bell or lower right bell) is always won, while the incorrect answer is Is a duplicate winning when there is a chance to win any one of multiple types of small ones that are won at the same time and to display one of a plurality of small eyes A small role. This push order winning combination wins 3 × 1/2, so it can be said that it is a 6-choice winning combination (1/6 winning winning combination).

  In the push order bell 1, the correct first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent correct second stop operation is the push order small part of the left stop button 10a. There are nine kinds of push order bells 1 to 1 in order of push order 1 to 1 so that the player does not miss a single piece by looking at the appearance (stop symbol) of each reel. The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol. Push order bell 1 is a push order small part of the double push order type. The purpose is to win the first small part with the highest payout (bell role: FRU2) for the purpose of winning a prize, and for the purpose of inhibiting the winning of the first small part A plurality of types of second small roles constituting the second small role group (in this case, six types of single small roles (FRU11 to FRU16: replay 2-BAR-BAR, ..., replay 1-jewel-watermelon 1), and 3rd small role (FRU3: either (Cherry / Watermelon 2) for the left drum, Bell for the middle drum, or (Replay 1 / Watermelon 2) for the right drum) (A small combination that can be won in four types of symbol combination display) is won at the same time (see push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 25) The second small combination is either one when the first stop operation is incorrect. One symbol stops and only two second small roles out of six second small roles win The third small role always wins when the first stop operation is correct and the second stop operation is incorrect, but may be missed at the timing of the third stop operation. The first small combination is also referred to as a specific small combination, a purpose small combination or a winning purpose small combination.

  In the push order bell 2, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small part of the right stop button 10c. Since there are nine types of push order bells 2 to 1 to push order bells 2-9, as with push order bell 1, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol) 1 The stop button portion 10 cannot be operated with the aim of a symbol so as not to miss the combination. Hereinafter, the same explanation as the push order bell 1 is used.

  In the push order bell 3, the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent correct second stop operation is the push order small part of the left stop button 10a. There are nine types of push order bells 3 from push order bells 3-1 to push order bells 3-9. As with push order bell 1, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol) 1 The stop button portion 10 cannot be operated with the aim of a symbol so as not to miss the combination. Hereinafter, the same explanation as the push order bell 1 is used.

  In the push order bell 4, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small part of the middle stop button 10b. There are nine types of push order bell 4 from push order bell 4-1 to push order bell 4-9, so as with push order bell 1, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol) 1 The stop button portion 10 cannot be operated with the aim of a symbol so as not to miss the combination. Hereinafter, the same explanation as the push order bell 1 is used. In addition, as the push order bell role, there are nine types of 3 choice bells (left 1st push order bell) that the bell role wins when the first stop operation is correct, and the left push order bell is elected and pressed middle or right. In this case, if the bell small part is missed and the eye is displayed, the process proceeds to RT1. However, since FRU3 and FRU4 of push order bell 1 to push order bell 4 are not won, the description with reference to the drawing is omitted. In other words, in the push order bell role, the push order to win a prize is substantially a 5 choice bell role.

  FIG. 26 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  For example, when the main control unit 100 causes the push order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. 24 to be won internally by random number lottery, as described above, the FRU2 + FR3 + FR11 to FR16 condition devices are simultaneously operated (eight different small roles are simultaneously used). Based on the operation order information (213) stored corresponding to the ROM 101, it is determined that the middle → left → right operation order is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes stop calculation processing based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information so that the player can immediately perform stop control regardless of when and when the player operates the stop button unit 10. Next, create a sliding frame number table. Similarly, a sliding frame number table is created after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation (see the description of FIG. 10).

  FIG. 26A shows a state where all the drum portions 2 are rotating from top to bottom. When the player performs the first stop operation on the middle stop button 10b in the correct operation sequence in the state shown in FIG. 26A, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and sets the corresponding sliding frame number data. Based on this, the middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and control for drawing the bell symbol into the effective line is performed (the drum unit 2 is merely moved by the number of sliding frames). FIG. 26B). In the state of FIG. 26B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c may be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation on the left stop button 10a in the correct operation sequence, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, 0 frame to 4 frames In this range, the left drum 2a is stopped, and control for drawing the bell symbol into the effective line is performed (see FIG. 26C). In the state shown in FIG. 26C, the FRU 2 is tempered. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated, and when the right stop button 10c in the correct operation order is third stopped, The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and performs control to pull the bell symbol into the effective line (FIG. 26 (D)).

  FIG. 27 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series. Note that FIG. 27A and FIG. 27B are the same as FIG. 26A and FIG.

The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation in the state of FIG. 27B in which the first stop operation is correct, and the player stops the right stop button 10c in the incorrect operation order. When the second stop operation is performed, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and displays the watermelon 2 pattern. Alternatively, stop control for drawing any one of the replay 1 symbols into the active line is performed (see FIG. 27C). In the state shown in FIG. 27C, the FRU 3 is tempered. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the left stop button 10a may be operated, and when the player performs the third stop operation on the left stop button 10a, The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the left drum 2a in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and uses either the cherry symbol or the watermelon 2 symbol as an active line. Control for drawing in is performed (see FIG. 27D). In the above example, if the first stop operation is correct, either FRU2 or FUL3 will always win, but FUL3 may be missed by placing FRU3 symbols at intervals of 5 frames or more. You can also.

  FIG. 28 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series. Note that FIG. 29A is the same as FIG. 26A, and thus redundant description is omitted.

  When the player performs the first stop operation on the right stop button 10c in the incorrect operation order in the state shown in FIG. 28A, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and determines the number of corresponding sliding frames. Based on the data, the right drum 2c is stopped in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and control is performed to ensure that any one of the BAR symbol, the jewel symbol, or the watermelon one symbol is drawn into the effective line (FIG. 28B )reference). In this case, since the BAR symbol is stopped on the active line, there is a possibility that only one of the FRU 11 and the FRU 14 wins at this time. In the state of FIG. 28B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b may be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation on the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and determines the left in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The drum 2a is stopped, and if there is a replay 2 symbol within the pull-in range, control for drawing the symbol into the effective line is performed (see FIG. 28C). In the state shown in FIG. 28C, both FRU 11 and FRU 14 are tempered. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the player performs the third stop operation on the middle stop button 10b, The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and draws either the BAR symbol or the jewelry symbol into the effective line. Control is performed (see FIG. 28D). On the other hand, if neither the BAR symbol nor the jewel symbol can be drawn into the active line, the knock of the push order small combination is displayed (not shown). If bonus 1 is missed in a state where the bonus 1 is won internally (carry-over state), bonus 1 is won. That is, the state shown in FIG. 28C in the inside of bonus 1 is a state where both the inhibition small bonus and bonus 1 are tempered.

  FIG. 29 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series. Note that FIG. 29A is the same as FIG. 26A, and thus redundant description is omitted.

When the player performs the first stop operation on the left stop button 10a in the incorrect operation order in the state shown in FIG. 29A, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and applies the corresponding sliding frame number data. On the basis of this, the middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw any one of the replay 1 symbol, the replay 2 symbol, or the replay 3 symbol into the effective line (FIG. 29B )reference). In this case, since the replay 3 symbols are stopped on the active line, there is a possibility that only one of the FRU 12 and the FRU 15 wins at this time. In the state of FIG. 29B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c may be operated. Yes. When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop button 10b, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, the left drum 2a in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames. If there is a BAR symbol or a jewel symbol within the pull-in range, control is performed to pull the symbol into the active line. For example, when the 17th bell symbol is positioned on the active line, the middle stop button 10b is When operated, since there is no BAR symbol or jewel symbol within 4 frames, the 15th cherry symbol is stopped on the active line in order to display the Koboshi of the push order small part (FIG. 29C) reference). At this point, the possibility of winning all the small roles is gone. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated, and when the player performs the third stop operation on the right stop button 10c, The main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and presses the small part of the pressing order (replay 3 symbols). , Cherry symbol, bell symbol) is controlled to draw the bell symbol into the active line (see FIG. 29D). Note that the push order bell 2 shown in FIG. 24, the push order bell 3 and the push order bell 4 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 30 is a game state transition diagram (RT state).

  RT0 in the figure is an initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay role (replaying role) has not changed, and the initial state ("initial replay state") from the game immediately after the step set value is re-entered. ")." The winning probability (replay probability) of the replay in the general game is about 1 / 7.3, especially the RT1 transition replay (replay 1), the RT2 transition replay (replay 2), and the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) at all. Since it is not won, in order to shift from this state to RT1, the above-mentioned push-order small-sized combination must be displayed on the active line. On the other hand, even if BB1 (bonus 1) is activated by internal winning, symbol display, or finished with a payout exceeding a predetermined number, BB1 only returns to the winning RT0 state, so it is not possible to shift to RT1 even with this route. In RT0 to RT3, the winning combination may not be won by lottery and may be lost (so-called order, lost).

  If the push order small part is won internally in the general game in the RT0 state and the stop button 10 is operated in the wrong order, and the KOBOSI design is displayed on the active line, the RT1 state is entered from the next game (continuation game). The number is not defined, that is, infinite). The replay probability in the RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, and most of the winning combinations shown in FIG. 23 can be selected by random numbers and can be won alone or simultaneously. That is, the game in the initial state and the RT1 state is a game state having approximately the same 1 / 7.3 replay probability, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is in the RT1 state.

  When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state and the action symbol is displayed on the active line, the RT2 state is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about ½. In the RT2 state, the winning probabilities of the two bonus roles and small roles are about 1/3, so the winning probability of the bonus role, small role and replay role is 5/6 (83.3%), and the loss is 1 /. 6 (16.7%).

  The RT1 transition replay (replay 1) is a function for quickly dropping to the RT1 state because the RT2 transition replay is activated when the RT2 transition replay is activated when the player accidentally presses the stop button unit 10 accidentally. , Has the same function as Koboshi) (falling replay).

  When the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won and activated in the RT2 state, the RT3 state has approximately the same 1/2 replay probability. Further, the RT3 state is different in that the type of replay combination won in the RT2 state and the size of the winning area are different. The loss probability in the RT3 state is 1/6 (16.7%), which is the same as that in the RT2 state.

  The actual bonus (bonus 1) can be won in the initial state, the RT1 state, the RT2 state, and the RT3 state. Bonus 1 is not won internally alone, but is won at the same time as a rare small role or replay role, and is always in a carry-over state of bonus 1. In this bonus carry-over state, if the player loses a bonus, the bonus 1 is always won no matter how the stop button unit 10 is operated (design pull-in 100%). Also, if the bonus order carryover is missed, the bonus order is not displayed and the bonus 1 is always won.

  FIG. 31 is a game state transition diagram (effect state). 32 to 34 are schematic diagrams of effect screens displayed by the display effect device. FIG. 35 is a schematic diagram showing a symbol display state of the window portion. FIG. 55 is an explanatory diagram of the basic concept of the game.

  The main control unit 100 is in charge of the control relating to the performance, and determines all the gaming states shown in FIG. 31 and gives the sub-control unit 160 information on which gaming state is currently in (game state information). Notify. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 controls the production, and executes various productions based on the game state information received from the main control unit 100.

  When the step set value is re-entered, the main control unit 100 clears and sets various data according to the set value to an initial state, and the player can start a normal game. In particular, when the setting is changed, the main control unit 100 determines ceiling information and current time information for winning a pseudo bonus. A normal game (short cycle) consisting of about 12 to 18 games, a short cycle game set consisting of 12 normal games (short cycle), and a high probability game (long cycle) in which multiple games can be transferred thereafter One set is one set (one set game) (see FIG. 55A), and the ceiling information includes set number information, short cycle information, and game number information. For example, the main control unit 100 determines the ceiling information by lottery such as the seventh game of the fifth short cycle of the third set. Further, the number of short cycles in the range of 0 to 11 and the long hand position lottery in the range of 1 to 11 are executed. For example, when 6 is determined as the short cycle and 9 is determined as the long hand position, the sub-control unit 160 aligns the short hand and the long hand of the timepiece 50 at the position of 6:45 according to the received initial time information. That is, the main control unit 100 determines the initial time information of the clockwork 50 in the range of 0:05 to 11:55, and transmits the initial time information to the sub-control unit 160. The main control unit 100 determines initial time information when the setting is changed, and the sub-control unit 160 adjusts the time of the clock accessory 50 based on the received initial time information, so that the player knows whether or not the setting has been changed. I can't. On the contrary, if the specification is adapted to a predetermined time (for example, a position of 00:00) when the setting is changed, the player can detect that the setting has been changed.

  The non-ART state basically consists of a normal game (short cycle) and a high-probability game (long cycle). When one game progresses (game progresses), the long hand of the clockwork 50 advances (moves). In response to this, the short hand advances (moves) slightly. The timepiece object 50 is at a position indicating 6:45, and when one game is digested by the third stop operation, the timepiece moves to the position at 6:50. Then, when one game is consumed at the position of 6:55, it becomes exactly 7 o'clock and one normal game (short cycle) is completed. After that, when multiple games are digested and one game is digested at 11:55, the short-cycle game ends (finishes after 12 hours), and when the transition condition is satisfied, a high-probability game that can execute about 20 games Transition to (long cycle). One set is composed of the 12 regular games (short cycle) and the subsequent high probability game (long cycle). If the ceiling information is the third game in the second set of the 0th short cycle, the game is won after the third game, and the main control unit 100 determines at which point the winner is announced. For example, the main control unit 100 determines the fifth game of the next normal game (short cycle) and transmits the notification game information to the sub control unit 160. Further, when a rare role is won by a role lottery, the main control unit 100 executes a transfer lottery, and when winning, shifts to a high probability game (rare role). The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the remaining clear points (long cycle) are equal to or less than the threshold of 20 points at the end of the short cycle game set. ). On the other hand, if it exceeds 20 points, the game is shifted to the normal game (short cycle 0) of the next set game (see FIG. 55A).

  The main control unit 100 determines by lottery how many short cycles a game is played when a normal game (short cycle) enters. There are three types of game number lottery tables, the first game number lottery table in which the pseudo bonus is improperly selected (non-latent) and in the normal performance state (non-gasse effect state), The second game number lottery table in the “gase effect state” and the third game number lottery table in which the pseudo bonus is in the winning state (latent state). In the first game number lottery table, on average, about 12 games are won on average, while in the second game number lottery table and the third game number lottery table, on average, about 14 games are selected between 12 games and 16 games. Therefore, the player can have a sense of expectation. The sub-control unit 160 receives the number of games determined by the main control unit 100, and performs an effect of stopping the time for the excess number of games using the clock role object 50. For example, if the number of received games is 14, the number of excess games is 2, so the sub-control unit 160 stops the time for 2 games. That is, an effect that the long hand rattles but does not advance for 5 minutes is performed twice in one hour even though one game has progressed. In addition, after the end of one game, the long hand reverses for 10 minutes. That is, when the total number of games (14 games) exceeds a predetermined number of games (12 games), even if one game progresses, the long hand is 5 minutes (first predetermined amount) and the short hand is 1/12 hours. (Second predetermined amount) There is a case where an effect that does not move is performed. However, there are a plurality of effect patterns other than these.

  In addition to the ceiling, the main control unit 100 executes a pseudo-bonus winning lottery when a rare small role is won or when an actual bonus is won, and when the winner is won, the pseudo-bonus is released. In particular, the main control unit 100 (or exceeded) when the long-period points accumulated in one set of 12 normal games (short cycle) and 1 high-probability game (long cycle) reach the clear point. In this case, the advantageous section display LED is turned on at a lighting timing described later (that is, the advantageous section is selected as a winning) with the pseudo bonus set as the winning state. The high probability game (long cycle) and the high probability game (rare role) are games as advantageous sections. Long cycle points can also be obtained in high-probability games (rare role).

  Here, with reference to FIG. 55, the basic concept of the game until the pseudo bonus is won will be described in detail. The short cycle game is composed of 12 game sections from a normal game (short cycle 0) to a normal game (short cycle 11), and a long cycle game is performed when the transition condition is satisfied after the normal game (short cycle 11). In the middle of the game, a rare role game may be played (see FIG. 55A). Normal game (short cycle 0) is low probability, normal game (short cycle 1) is low probability, normal game (short cycle 2) is medium probability, normal game (short cycle 3) is low probability, normal game (short cycle 4) ) Is low probability, normal game (short cycle 5) is high probability, normal game (short cycle 6) is low probability, normal game (short cycle 7) is low probability, normal game (short cycle 8) is medium probability, normal The game (short cycle 9) has a low probability, the normal game (short cycle 10) has a low probability, and the normal game (short cycle 11) has a high probability. In other words, it is determined that the short-period game in which the clock is 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock is a medium probability, and the short-cycle game in which the clock is 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock is a high probability. It can be given accurately. That is, there are a plurality of point lottery tables with different expected values for point acquisition, and which point lottery table is used for a plurality of short-cycle games (normal game (short cycle 0) to normal game (short cycle 11)). Is predetermined.

  The main control unit 100 determines a clear point (long cycle) and a clear point (short cycle) in advance at a predetermined timing using a clear point lottery table at the start of one set. For example, the clear point (long cycle) is a value obtained by multiplying the value by N when the point obtained by the lottery using the clear point lottery table is 50 points. If N is a fixed value of 5 times, it is 250 points. N may be determined by lottery each time. Next, lottery is performed using the same clear point lottery table, and if the obtained point is 75 points, the value becomes a clear point (short cycle). Hereinafter, the clear point (long cycle) is described as CPt-L, and the clear point (short cycle) is described as CPt-S.

  Since the normal game (short cycle 0) has a low probability, the main control unit 100 selects an acquisition point lottery table (for low probability) and draws acquisition points according to the result lottery result for about 12 games. Then, the acquired points are subtracted from each of the stored CPt-L and CPt-S. When either CPt-L or CPt-S becomes 0, the pseudo bonus release condition is achieved, and then the pseudo bonus winning is notified. If CPt-S is not 0 in the normal game (short cycle 0), a new CPt-S is drawn at the start of the normal game (short cycle 1), but CPt-L is a long cycle game. It is taken over until the end, and at the end, CPt-L is drawn again for the next set. The normal game (short cycle 2) and the normal game (short cycle 8) are the acquisition point lottery table (for medium probability), and the normal game (short cycle 5) and the normal game (short cycle 11) are the acquisition point lottery table (for high probability) ) Is selected, and the winning points are determined by lottery according to the result lottery result. Also in the rare role game, the earned points are determined by lottery and subtracted from CPt-L. The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the remaining clear point (long cycle) (that is, CPt-L) is equal to or less than the threshold value of 20 points when the normal game (short cycle 11) ends. If there is, shift to a high probability game (long cycle). On the other hand, if it exceeds 20 points, the game is shifted to the normal game (short cycle 0) of the next set game (see FIG. 55A).

  When shifting to a high-probability game (long cycle), CPt-S is determined in the same manner as in the short-cycle game, and when CPt-S becomes 0, the game is cleared (conditions achieved). Also, CPt-L started from the normal game (short cycle 0) is taken over, and when it becomes 0, it is cleared (achieved condition), so both CPt-L and CPt-S may be cleared. When the front bonus stock ends and the pseudo bonus ends, it will always be a long-period game, and if there is a back stock, it will be released here, but since the earned points are subtracted from the inherited CPt-L, it becomes 0 May be cleared. If the back stock is 1 and CPt-L is 0, a pseudo bonus by the back stock is executed. When the back stock is 0 and the pseudo bonus is terminated, the CPt-L in the long-period game is 0, so the pseudo bonus is won. Become. In that case, a new CPt-L for the next set is determined at the end of the long-cycle game, and the next set of three short-cycle games (normal game (short cycle 0) to normal game (short cycle 2) )) Bonus will be released within.

  In the case of pseudo bonus winning, the main control unit 100 sets a pseudo bonus winning flag according to the type (for example, pseudo bonus 1 winning flag 1, pseudo bonus 2 winning flag 2,..., Pseudo bonus N winning flag. N). At this time, the main control unit 100 changes the symbol stop control of the reel according to whether or not the advantageous section is won and the type of the selected advantageous section. In other words, when the pseudo bonus is won internally, the main control unit 100 can display the reach as the outcome when the actual bonus picture cannot be drawn. At present, the main control unit 100 changes the stop control in accordance with the winning state of the winning combination (that is, the activated condition device). By changing the stop control according to the type of the section, it is possible to provide an expectation for winning the advantageous section and an expectation for the winning advantageous section depending on the stop appearance of the symbol. Advantageous section winning reach (chance), 3000 shots reach reach, etc. can be issued (see FIG. 42).

  The main control unit 100 changes the symbol stop control in FIG. 42 by changing the symbol stop control when the winning lottery result of the combination is unsuccessful (pure loss) in the state where the winning flag 1 of the pseudo bonus 1 is set. ~ Reach eyes 3 can be displayed. When the winning flag 2 of the pseudo bonus 2 is set, the main control unit 100 can display the reach eye 10 of FIG. 42 by changing the symbol stop control when the lottery result of the combination is a pure loss. It becomes possible. Similarly, in the state where the winning flag N-1 of the pseudo bonus N-1 is set, if the lottery result of the combination is a pure loss, the reach 11 of FIG. 42 is displayed, and the winning flag N of the pseudo bonus N is set. When the standing lottery result is a pure loss in the standing state, the reach eye 12 of FIG. 42 can be displayed. Note that the reach shown in FIG. 42 includes a plurality of reach stops (for example, Getchena in the upper center of FIG. 42) that stop inside the actual bonus.

  The main control unit 100 changes the symbol stop control in FIG. 42 by changing the symbol stop control when the winning lottery result is cherry and the cherry role is missed when any of the winning flags 1 to N is set. The eyes 4 to 6 can be displayed. Further, the main control unit 100 changes the symbol stop control when the lottery result of the combination is watermelon and the watermelon combination is missed in a state where any of the winning flags 1 to N is set, thereby changing the symbol stop control. The reach eyes 7 to 9 can be displayed. In particular, in the state where any of the winning flags 1 to N is set, when the lottery result of the combination is watermelon and the pseudo bonus and the watermelon combination are simultaneously won, the reach eye 1 can be displayed. . The reach of FIG. 42 is different from the drum layout diagram of FIG. 21, but is merely a reference example for explaining the reach, so the arrangement needs to match the actual one. Absent.

  Referring to FIG. 31, the main control unit 100 executes a lottery to determine whether or not to shift to a high-probability game (rare role) when the lottery opportunity (rare role) is won by the role lottery. A process of shifting to the probability game (rare role) is executed, and the advantageous section display LED is turned on. In addition, when the advantageous section display LED is lit, the main control unit 100 sets the lighting timing (notifying timing) to any one between the operation of the start lever 9 and the insertion of a medal (game medium). The lottery table is determined by lottery, but when the notification timing of the pseudo bonus (special game) is determined and when the notification timing of the high probability gaming state (long cycle or rare role) is determined (for lottery) The notification timing is determined by lottery using data (see FIG. 43). The lottery table also differs depending on the type of the pseudo bonus that has been won and the high probability state A to the high probability state N. If bonus 1 (actual action device related to type 2 special features: real bonus) is won and at the same time a pseudo bonus (special game) is won, the action symbol is displayed, The advantageous section display LED may be turned on.

When the pseudo BB is won, the main control unit 100 starts the start lever (winning probability 70%), the first stop operation (winning probability 2%), the second stop operation (winning probability 3%), and the third stop operation (winning probability). When the start lever is selected, the advantageous section display LED is turned on after the start lever 9 is operated. Further, when the third stop operation is won, the advantageous section display LED is turned on after the final stop operation of the stop button unit 10. When any operation of the stop button unit 10 is won, the main control unit 100 determines either the operation time point (ON time point) or the operation release time point (OFF time point) by lottery. Furthermore, you may determine the time from the time of operation of the start lever 9 or the stop button part 10 to alerting | reporting. For example, when the pseudo BB is won and the start lever 9 is won, the main control unit 100 sets the reel freeze state and notifies the user 5 seconds after the start lever 9 is operated, Notification is made 1 second after the stop operation is released. When the pseudo RB is won, the main control unit 100 starts the start lever (winning probability 50%), the first stop operation (winning probability 0%), the second stop operation (winning probability 0%), and the third stop operation (winning probability). 50%), so only one of the start lever or the third stop operation is won, so in the case of pseudo BB or pseudo RB, it is possible to be notified at the start lever or the third stop operation time Increases nature.

  As a high probability game (long cycle) and a high probability game (rare role), there are a plurality of high probability states from a high probability state A (ultra high probability) to a high probability state N as a gaming state. When A is won, the lottery is performed with the probability of the start lever (winning probability 5%), first stop operation (winning probability 75%), second stop operation (winning probability 20%), and third stop operation (winning probability 0%). Is done. The high probability state N-2 is 100% for the third stop operation, the high probability state N-1 is 100% for the second stop operation, and the high probability state N is 100% for the first stop operation. Notification timing is determined.

  The sub-control unit 160 switches and displays the effect video displayed on the display effect device 11 according to the gaming state. FIG. 32A shows a daytime stage screen, which is mainly used in a normal game (short cycle) in which the winning probability of a pseudo bonus (third bonus or assist bonus) is relatively low. In addition, the current time is displayed at the lower right of the screen, but the clock object 50 also displays the same time. However, when the current time on the screen and the time indicated by the clock accessory 50 are different, the battle game is confirmed and the pseudo bonus release is confirmed. FIG. 32 (B) is a night stage screen, which is mainly used in a high-probability game with a very high probability of winning a pseudo bonus (long cycle) or in an internal winning state (release winning state). Then, the player is excited with the expectation of releasing the pseudo bonus. Although not shown, there is an evening stage, which is used in a high-accuracy state with an intermediate probability between a normal state with a low probability and an ultra-high accuracy state.

  The sub-control unit 160 is a mid-stage cherry (called “single” in the industry), strong cherry, weak cherry, strong watermelon, weak watermelon or a strong bell and chance that are arranged independently of the pushing order. When a rare small role such as a role is won and further wins in the subsequent transition lottery, the screen is switched from the normal day screen and the evening screen to the night screen. On the other hand, every time a replay is won, a falling lottery is performed with a predetermined probability, so that during a general game, the normal day screen, the evening screen, and the night screen are alternately displayed at a predetermined frequency. In general, these display screens change the direction according to the stay mode such as low probability state and high probability state during bonus internal winning in order to give the player the correct mode suggestion, but the mode suggestion is not necessarily correct However, the player's expectation can be further enhanced by appropriately performing the gasse effect.

FIG. 32C is a night scene display screen. When the player operates the start lever from the night stage screen to start the variable display game, the sub-control unit 160 determines that a predetermined condition such as when a rare small role is won. A pseudo bonus lottery (AT bonus lottery) is performed every time the above is established. When the sub-control unit 160 performs the pseudo bonus lottery, the sub-control unit 160 performs an effect of dropping the brightness on the night stage screen together with thunder. Further, a night screen is used as a precursor effect for releasing the real bonus (BB1) and the pseudo bonus (pseudo BB or pseudo RB). In particular, when the actual bonus (BB1) is won during normal times, the bonus stage is suggested by performing a lightning continuous effect at least twice by changing suddenly from the day stage screen to the night stage screen. In addition, if the lightning effect is performed three times continuously from the daytime stage screen, it indicates that the actual bonus confirmation and the pseudo bonus lottery have been won. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's expectation by appropriately generating thunder and sound effects.

  When the sub-control unit 160 announces the bonus winning (actual bonus or pseudo bonus), it becomes a pseudo bonus omen in FIG. The night stage screen is displayed again (see FIG. 33 (A)), and two bats with plates approach from a distance according to the operation of the stop button unit 10, and the characters “BONUS” can be recognized gradually. (See FIG. 33 (B)), and finally the bat announcement effect that flies away is performed.

  Also, from the state where the night stage screen shown in FIG. 33 (A) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, the cemetery is expanded and the butler of the character is “Ollya” and “Tiroro Lolone” In addition to the sound effect, the main character appears from the grave hole in the center of the screen that has been dug up, so that it can be an extremely premiere effect for the player (see FIG. 33C).

  When the pseudo bonus is confirmed by releasing the bonus, the pseudo bonus is on standby after the confirmation notification effect, and the promotion lottery screen is displayed (see FIG. 34A). The pseudo bonus includes a pseudo BB and a pseudo RB. When the push order small combination is won during the pseudo bonus waiting, the main control unit 100 transmits only the winning operation order information to the sub-control unit 160. When the sub-control unit 160 receives only the winning operation order information, the sub-control unit 160 understands (programmed) that the winning combination is a pressing order small combination, and therefore, a numerical value indicating the pressing order in a yellow circle as an effect. 1 to 3 are displayed (see FIG. 34B). However, in the case of push order replay, the main control unit 100 transmits to the sub-control unit 160 that the winning combination is replay and operation order information (see FIG. 34C). The main control unit 100 decides whether to release the pseudo BB or the pseudo RB during the promotion game, and when the bonus replay 1 (red 7 uniform) or bonus replay 2 (BAR uniform) is won, the red 7 symbol is reversely pressed. Is directed (see FIG. 34C). During this pseudo bonus waiting, the player is promoted from pseudo RB to pseudo BB according to the winning combination.

  In the state of FIG. 34 (C), when the player correctly operates the stop button portion 10 from the right to the middle (reverse pressing and operating at the correct operation timing), both the red 7 symbol and the BAR symbol are in the tempered state (FIG. 35 (A)). Finally, when the player correctly operates the left stop button 10a, in the case of bonus replay 1, the red 7 symbols are displayed in a straight line on the left (see FIG. 35B). On the other hand, in the case of bonus replay 2, the BAR symbols are displayed aligned on the upper horizontal line (see FIG. 35C).

  While waiting for the pseudo bonus (RT1 state in FIG. 30), the main control unit 100 turns off the external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) and the external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) of the external concentrated terminal board 170. When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state, the sub control unit 160 is notified of the operation order of the stop button unit 10. When correctly operated by the player, the action pattern of RT2 transition replay is displayed on the active line, and the RT2 state is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about ½. Further, the main control unit 100 informs the sub control unit 160 of the operation order of the stop button unit 10 when the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won in the RT2 state. When correctly operated by the player, the action pattern of the RT3 transition replay is displayed on the active line, and the RT3 state with approximately the same replay probability is obtained.

  The main control unit 100 determines the pseudo BB or pseudo RB to be released in the RT3 state regardless of whether or not the actual bonus (bonus 1) has been internally won. Special symbol combinations) are displayed in a straight line on the left (can be displayed in a straight line). Wait for Bonus Replay 1 to win, but if the ending counter is not 0, even if Bonus Replay 1 is won The operation order of left first or middle first is notified without entering the state of FIG. As a result, the red 7 symbol is not displayed in a straight line, and the normal replay is activated. For example, when the predetermined value is 10 games and 1 game progresses, this ending counter is decremented by 1 and becomes 0 (the reverse push notification condition based on the game counter is satisfied). As a state of (C), a special combination of symbols is aimed by a reverse pressing operation. The ending counter is activated when an enemy boss character among a plurality of enemy characters is defeated, and a special symbol is displayed after a minimum of 10 games waiting for a pseudo bonus.

  In the case of releasing the pseudo BB, the main control unit 100 determines that the bonus replay 1 is internally won in the RT3 state (and the reverse push notification condition is established) regardless of whether the actual bonus is internally won or not. As a trigger, the pseudo BB signal is output from OFF to ON by the final operation of the stop switch. At this time, the pseudo BB signal is turned from OFF to ON at the time when the third stop button operation is released regardless of whether or not the red 7 symbol is displayed in a straight line. However, the pseudo BB signal is switched from OFF to ON when the stop button unit 10 is not operated in accordance with the operation sequence notified by the player. For example, when the pseudo BB is released, if the push order bell is won in either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the stubby is displayed (although the operation sequence of the stop switch is notified). If there is no payout, a pseudo BB signal is output. However, if the small winning combination wins and there is, for example, one payout, the pseudo BB signal is not output. Or, when the pseudo BB is released, the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is won internally, and the operating pattern of the RT2 transition replay is on the active line (although the operation sequence of the stop switch is notified) If not displayed, a pseudo BB signal is output. Or, when the pseudo BB is released, the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is won internally, and the operating pattern of the RT3 transition replay is on the effective line (although the operation sequence of the stop switch is notified) If not displayed, a pseudo BB signal is output.

  When releasing the pseudo RB, the main control unit 100 is triggered by the fact that the bonus replay 2 is internally won in the RT3 state where the actual bonus is not internally won (and the reverse push notification condition is established) The pseudo RB signal is output from OFF to ON by the final operation of the stop switch. At this time, regardless of whether or not the BAR symbol is displayed in a straight line, the pseudo RB signal is turned from OFF to ON when the third stop button operation is released. However, the pseudo RB signal is switched from OFF to ON when the stop button unit 10 is not operated in accordance with the operation order notified by the player. For example, when a pseudo RB is released, when the push order bell is won in either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the stubby is displayed (although the operation sequence of the stop switch is notified). If there is no payout, a pseudo RB signal is output. However, if the inhibition small role wins, for example, if there is one payout, no pseudo RB signal is output. Or, when the pseudo RB is released, the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is won internally, and the operation pattern of the RT2 transition replay is on the effective line (although the operation sequence of the stop switch is notified) If not displayed, a pseudo RB signal is output. Or, when the pseudo RB is released, the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is won internally and the operating pattern of the RT3 transition replay is on the effective line (although the operation sequence of the stop switch is notified) If not displayed, a pseudo RB signal is output.

  36 to 37 are schematic diagrams of effect screens displayed by the display effect device. FIG. 38 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device, and displays an overview of the video flow until one pseudo bonus is completed.

  The main control unit 100 is responsible not only for the lottery drawing but also for all the controls related to the ball appearance performance (assist function). After the state shown in FIGS. 35 (B) and 35 (C), the main control unit 100 sets the freeze state for several seconds to delay the progress of the game, and sends the determined pseudo bonus and the initial number of games to the sub control unit 160. Send. When the main control unit 100 activates the pseudo BB, the sub control unit 160 displays the pseudo BB start screen during the freeze state, and displays the initial number of games in time. For example, since 5 minutes is equivalent to 1 game, 180 minutes in FIG. 36A is 36 games. The sub-control unit 160 displays “2 hours 60 minutes” as the remaining game on the upper right of the pseudo BB start screen, and displays the clock role 50 at 9:00 (a position that is exactly 12:00 when 36 games are played) To match.

  For example, until the pseudo BB start screen is displayed, the game (the number of digestive advantageous games) as an advantageous section of 100 games is executed via the high probability game (rare role) → pseudo bonus waiting in FIG. Suppose you did. This advantageous section is a section in which the instruction function may be activated (a section in which the instruction function is activated at least once), and any game if the end condition is within the maximum number of advantageous games (for example, within MAX 1500 games). You can decide on a number. In this case, if the maximum number of advantageous games is 1500 games, the number of remaining advantageous games that can be executed is 1400 games. Further, since execution of 36 games (180 minutes) in FIG. 36A is determined at the start of the pseudo BB, the main control unit 100, when executing the extra lottery, the number of games that can be added (the number of remaining advantageous games− Number of execution-determined games) A lottery within the range of 1364 games. That is, the main control unit 100 refers to the number of remaining games in the advantageous section for processing such as ART extra drawing. Further, the main control unit 100 refers to the number of remaining ART games displayed, and weakens (or eliminates) the lottery so as not to exceed the number of games that can be added. In other words, the display effect device 11 displays the number of advantageous games that can be executed, and the main control unit 100 updates the displayed number of advantageous games and the maximum number of games that can be increased according to the progress of the advantageous games. And when determining the number of extras according to the result lottery result, the number of advantageous games to increase is determined with reference to the maximum number of games that can be increased. The main control unit 100 transmits the determined advantageous number of games to be increased to the sub control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 selects and displays an increase effect to be displayed on the display effect device 11 from a plurality of increase effects based on the received number of advantageous games.

  In addition, the main control unit 100 determines by lottery how many games the first half of the pseudo BB will be played when the pseudo BB enters. Even if the determined initial number of games in the first half of the pseudo BB is 53 games, the sub-control unit 160 wins by the alignment lottery, so that 180 minutes in FIG. May be set to 0:00. In this case, the excess number of games is 17 games (53-36 is 17), and the sub-control unit 160 performs an effect of stopping the time corresponding to the excess number of 17 games by using the clock accessory 50. For example, the rewind of 1 hour (12 games) occurs at 11:00 at the initial time of 9:00, and the long hand rattles but does not advance by 5 minutes despite the progress of one game. 5 times during the first half of the pseudo BB. In addition, after the end of one game, the long hand reverses for 10 minutes. That is, when the total number of games (53 games) exceeds the predetermined number of games (36 games), even if one special game progresses, the long hand is 5 minutes (first predetermined amount) and the short hand is 1/12. There is a case where an effect that does not move for a time (second predetermined amount) is performed. However, there are a plurality of effect patterns other than these.

  When the main control unit 100 receives the operation of the start lever 9 in the state of FIG. 36 (A), the main control unit 100 starts the first half of the pseudo BB, and according to the winning role shown in FIG. The lottery is executed by adding the point lottery and the number of games (number of hours) to decide. When the push order bell 2-1 shown in FIG. 24 is internally won, the main control unit 100 transmits group combination information and push order information (middle → right → left: assist information) to the sub control unit 160 as a result lottery result. . When the sub-control unit 160 receives the group combination information and the push order information as the result lottery result, the push order of the stop button unit 10 required to win the bell small combination (FRU1) is yellow (Bell small combination suggestion). Displayed in circles and numbers 1 to 3 (see FIG. 36B). In this case, the number 1 indicating the first stop operation is displayed in a large yellow circle, and “Naka” is pronounced in the voice of a hero such as Dracula or a princess. However, if the player mistakenly operates the operation and moves to RT1, the process shifts to RT1 in FIG. 30. In that case, when the push order replay is won to transfer again to RT2 or RT3, the same display is displayed. Assist the player with voice. The main control unit 100 transmits replay combination information (information indicating that the winning combination is a replay combination) and push order information to the main control unit 100 as a result lottery result. When the player correctly operates the middle stop button 10b, the sub-control unit 160 bursts and erases the large yellow circle at the center, and expands and displays the number 2 indicating the second stop operation to the large yellow circle. (See FIG. 36C).

  When the player correctly operates the right stop button 10c, the sub-control unit 160 bursts and erases the large yellow circle on the right side, and expands and displays the number 3 indicating the third stop operation to the large yellow circle. (See FIG. 37A). Then, when the player finally operates the left stop button 10a, the sub-control unit 160 bursts and erases the large yellow circle on the left side and displays “GET” in the center of the screen (FIG. 37B). The payout number 14 is added to Total “0” in order and changed to 14 (see FIG. 37C). As a display mode in the case of addition in order, 0 → 1 → 2 → 3... 13 → 14 in Total, and one game is completed.

  The main control unit 100 stores the number of games digested from the start of the first half of the pseudo BB, and FIG. 38A shows a right → middle → left push in the final game (36 times or 180 minutes) of the first half of the pseudo BB. This shows a state where the winning combination 4-1 (see FIG. 25) has won internally. When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the order of pushing right → middle → left, the main control unit 100 wins a small bell and pays out 14 game media (see FIG. 38 (B)). It is determined whether or not the first half end condition (36 game digestion or 180 minutes elapses) is satisfied. Is displayed.

  The main control unit 100 plays two games after the first half of the pseudo BB for the battle preparation, and the sub control unit 160 changes the main character from a child to an adult. In the second half of the pseudo BB, the main control unit 100 battles with one of a plurality of enemy generals (enemy characters) based on the points (attack and defense) accumulated in the first half of the pseudo BB. A lottery for shifting to a mission game is executed every time (12 games). When the main control unit 100 wins the transition lottery, after performing the mission game, the main control unit 100 returns to the same time in the second half of the pseudo BB and digests the rest. The mission game is successful if the designated small role is drawn a designated number of times, and then the enemy general is won by damaging the enemy general. When the main control unit 100 finishes the second half of the pseudo BB in this way, the pseudo BB signal of the external concentrated terminal board 170 is temporarily turned off (Low signal) from ON (High signal) despite maintaining the RT3 state. Then, the addition and determination game is executed, and when the battle is won, the addition stock lottery is performed and the process proceeds to waiting for a pseudo bonus. If there is a bonus stock, the process shifts to waiting for a pseudo bonus. On the other hand, when defeating the battle, the main control unit 100 enters a short freeze state of about 3 seconds and shifts to a high probability game (long cycle) (see FIG. 38C). The sub-control unit 160 displays 925 totals on the bonus end screen, x3 to indicate that the BIG bonus has been performed once, and x2 to indicate that the REG bonus has been performed twice. Further, the sub-control unit 160 displays the start of the high probability game (long cycle) by setting the timepiece object 50 to 0:00.

  Details of the battle game (the second half of the pseudo BB): In the first half of the pseudo BB, the main control unit 100 has already determined the attack level (attack power) and the defense level (defense power: shield point) according to the result of the role lottery. . The main control unit 100 executes a lottery to determine whether or not to make the hero invincible at the start of the first game of the battle game. If this invincible flag is set, the main character will be damaged by the attack from the enemy general (enemy character) and the defense level will be lowered. However, since the lottery for defeat is invalidated, the main character will always win (ie, the main character) Will not lose). In addition, when the invincible flag is on, the sub-control unit 160 performs a lottery to determine whether or not a premier ally character appears.

  In addition, at the start of the first battle game, a lottery for determining which of the plurality of enemy generals to battle with is executed. There are 6 enemy generals, Zako enemy general 1-Zako enemy general 4 and Boss enemy general 1-Boss enemy general 2, and Zako according to the number of times of winning the big bonus (number of victory N) The enemy general lottery table is selected. The strength of the enemy general is Zako enemy general 1 <Zako enemy general 2 <Zako enemy general 3 <Zako enemy general 4, but the expected value of profit when defeated is the inverse relationship of the enemy general strength It has become. In the first big bonus, since the number of wins is 0, a lottery is performed using the Zako enemy general lottery table 0, the winning probability of Zako enemy general 1 is 60%, the winning probability of Zako enemy general 2 is 25%, The winning probability of Zako enemy general 3 is 10%, and Zako enemy general 4 is allocated 5%. The victory counter N stores the number of victory N, and 1 is added every time the big bonus is won. Also, Zako enemy generals are called ordinary enemy generals, and boss enemy generals are called special enemy generals.

  In the second big bonus, since the number of wins is 1, lottery is performed using the Zako enemy general lottery table 1, the winning probability of Zako enemy general 1 is 5%, the winning probability of Zako enemy general 2 is 60%, The winning probability of Zako enemy general 3 is 25%, and Zako enemy general 4 is 10%. In the third big bonus, since the number of wins is 2, lottery is performed using the Zako enemy general lottery table 2, the winning probability of Zako enemy general 1 is 10%, the winning probability of Zako enemy general 2 is 5%, The winning probability of Zako enemy general 3 is allocated at 60%, and Zako enemy general 4 is allocated at 25%. In the fourth big bonus, the number of wins is 3, so a lottery is performed using the Zako enemy general lottery table 3, the winning probability of Zako enemy general 1 is 25%, the winning probability of Zako enemy general 2 is 10%, The winning probability of Zako enemy general 3 is 5%, and Zako enemy general 4 is allocated 60%.

  In the 5th big bonus, since the number of wins is 4, any one of the boss enemy general 1 and the boss enemy general 2 is selected with a probability of 50%. The expected value is the same, and different effects are executed depending on the boss enemy general 1 or the boss enemy general 2. The victory counter is cleared to 0 after the character drawing of the boss enemy general 1 to the boss enemy general 2 in the fifth big bonus. Also, even if the regular bonus comes in the middle, the victory counter will not be cleared, but will be cleared if the big bonus is defeated.

  The main control unit 100 determines the rough amount of damage given to the enemy general according to the role lottery result (including unsuccessful election) (Given damage group: no damage, small damage, medium damage, large damage, final damage 5) The type (also called “expected value”) is determined by lottery. When the combination lottery result is a push order small role, a rare small role, or a special replay role, damage is always caused (that is, no damage is selected). On the other hand, when the result lottery result is a normal replay role or unfair (losing), there is a possibility that no damage will be selected by the lottery, but conversely, depending on the lottery, the damage will be given to the enemy general. The confirmed damage of the assigned damage group is to take all the HPs (hit points) possessed by the enemy general, and the victory is confirmed. In no damage, the damage given to the enemy general is 0 (that is, the HP of the enemy general cannot be reduced), and the HP of the hero may be taken away when there is no damage. The large damage, medium damage, and small damage are those in which the expected value (average) of the number of damages given is large, medium, and small, and is determined by lottery using a lottery table corresponding to large, medium, and small.

  FIG. 52 is a small group conversion table.

  When the big bonus 1 of the real bonus is won during the battle game (during the competition game), the game proceeds to the real bonus game thereafter. During the actual bonus game, when a plurality of types of re-game players are selected and the special re-game players are won internally, the jewel symbols can be aligned in the center straight line (become aligned). The main control unit 100 transmits a lighting command for causing the jewel lamp of the magic formation 51 to light blue when the special re-gamer is won internally. Further, a lighting command is transmitted every time the special re-gamer wins the inside, and a lighting command for lighting one by one in order of yellow, green and red is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160. That is, the magic lamp 51 has a non-lighting state, a blue lighting state, a blue yellow lighting state, a blue yellow green lighting state, and a blue yellow green red lighting state. When the special re-game player is elected internally in this full lighting state, the main control unit 100 executes the ART game stock lottery in the range of 1 to 7, and gives a lighting command to the sub-control unit 160 to light the center lamp. Send.

  When all of the four jewelry lamps are not lit (non-lit state) and the normal replay 1 is won, the main control unit 100 is in the BB1 non-internal state (the actual bonus is not internally won) and Both inside BB1 (in the state where the actual bonus is won internally), the winning combination conversion process is executed assuming that the replay is won. When the normal replay 2 is won in the non-lighted state, if the BB1 is not inside, the replay is won, and if inside the BB1, the winning combination conversion process is performed assuming that the chance is won. When the normal replay 3 is won in the non-lighted state, the winning combination conversion process is performed on the assumption that the chance chance has been won in both BB1 non-inside and BB1 inside.

  When the normal replay 1 is elected when only the blue of the four jewelry lamps is lit (blue lit state), the main control unit 100 wins the bell both inside and outside the BB1. As a result, the winning combination conversion process is executed. When the normal replay 2 is won in the blue lighting state, if the BB1 is not inside, the bell is won, and if inside the BB1, the winning combination conversion process is executed assuming that the chance is won. When the normal replay 3 is won in the blue lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed on the assumption that the chance chance has been won both inside and outside the BB1.

  Of the four jewel lamps, when the common bell 1 is elected when yellow is not lit (yellow is not lit), the main control unit 100 wins the bell if the BB1 is not inside. If it is medium, the winning combination conversion process is executed assuming that the weak rare combination has been won. When the common bell 2 is elected in the yellow non-lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed assuming that the bell is elected if the BB1 is not inside, and if the strong rare role is elected if the BB1 is inside. When the pushing order bell is won in the yellow non-lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed on the assumption that the bell has won both inside and outside BB1.

  When the common bell 1 is elected in the state where the yellow jewel lamp is lit (yellow lit state), the main control unit 100 wins the weak rare role if it is not inside BB1, BB1 If it is inside, a winning combination conversion process is executed assuming that a strong rare combination has been won. When the common bell 2 is elected in the yellow lighting state, if the BB1 is not inside, the weak rare combination is won, and if the BB1 is inside, the winning combination conversion process is performed assuming that the confirmed combination is won. When the pushing order bell is won in the yellow lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed on the assumption that the bell has won both inside BB1 and inside BB1.

  Of the four jewel lamps, when the green water is not lit (green is not lit) and the weak watermelon is elected, the main control unit 100 wins the weak rare role both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1. The winning combination conversion process is executed. When the strong watermelon is won in the green non-lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed on the assumption that the strong rare combination is won in both BB1 non-inside and BB1 inside.

  When the weak watermelon is elected when the green light is on (green lighted) among the four jewelry lamps, the main control unit 100 wins the strong rare role both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1. As a result, the winning combination conversion process is executed. When the strong watermelon is won in the green lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed on the assumption that the confirmed combination is won in both BB1 non-inside and BB1 inside.

  Of the four jewelry lamps, when the red cherry is not lit (red is not lit) and the weak cherry is elected, the main control unit 100 plays the weak rare role both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1. The winning combination conversion process is executed as if winning. When the strong cherry is won in the red non-lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed on the assumption that the strong rare combination is won in both BB1 non-inside and BB1 inside.

  Of the four jewel lamps, when the red cherry is lit (red lit state) and the weak cherry is elected, the main control unit 100 wins the strong rare role both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1. As a result, the winning combination conversion process is executed. When a strong cherry is won in the red lighting state, a winning combination conversion process is performed on the assumption that a confirmed combination has been won both inside and outside BB1.

  The main control unit 100 determines the number of applied damages by lottery according to the determined applied damage group. For example, when a large damage is determined, a large damage lottery table is selected, and the average number of damages given by the lottery is 100 points. On the other hand, when the small damage is determined, the small damage lottery table is selected, and the average number of damages given by the lottery is 10 points. When determining the number of applied damages, the main control unit 100 determines, as the applied damage amount, a value obtained by multiplying the number of applied damages by the main character's attack level (1-5) and the magnification (1-3) corresponding to the stay stage. For example, if the main character's attack level is 4, stay stage 3 (magnification 3), and the number of damages applied is 20, the amount of damage given will be 240 (4 × 3 × 20) points. If the enemy general's HP is 1000 points, the amount of damage imparted 240 points is subtracted and the remaining 760 points. When the enemy general's HP reaches 0 points, the hero wins.

  The main control unit 100 draws the main character's SP (shield point) when the role lottery result is a normal replay (or includes an unfair election at the time of falling due to a push order mistake) and the assigned damage group is non-damaged. ) To determine within the range of 0 to 3 points. The main character's SP is a maximum of 10 points, and even if it becomes 0 points, it will not be defeated immediately, and the number of times to fall in the lottery using the same takeout lottery table is determined in advance (reduction of memory usage and Become). For example, the main character's SP is 1 point, and even if 3 points are won in the draw, the SP will only be 0 points and can be held once.

  As described above, the main control unit 100 executes the main character's invincible lottery at the start of the first battle game, but further determines the number of times until the fall (defeat), so the number of falls has already been determined. Yes. However, if the falling lottery is executed 8 times (predetermined number of times) and does not fall, an undefeated battle flag (non-defeated flag) is set to be in a winning state. The main control unit 100 determines whether or not there is no damage on the assumption that the winning lottery result is a normal replay. If there is no damage, the main control unit 100 determines in the range of 0 to 3 points by taking the lottery. The main control unit 100 draws at a hero defeat rate of 25% if the draw lot is 0 points, draws at a hero defeat rate of 50% if the draw lot is 1 point, and if the draw lot is 2 points. If the main character loses 75% and the draw draw is 3 points, the main character loses 90%. For example, it is determined whether or not there is no damage in the first lottery, and if there is no damage (because there is damage applied), the first time does not fall. Next, it is determined whether or not there is no damage in the second lottery. If there is no damage, if the take-out lottery is 0 points, the main character loses 25% and if it is wrong, the second round will not fall. . Next, it is determined whether or not there is no damage in the third lottery. If there is no damage, if the take-out lottery is 2 points, it will be drawn with a hero defeat rate of 75%. do not do. Next, it is determined whether or not there is no damage in the fourth lottery. If there is no damage, if the take-out lottery is 2 points, it will be drawn with a hero defeat rate of 50%. Is determined. In this way, when the falling lottery is executed 8 times (predetermined number of times), if it does not fall, an undefeated battle flag indicating a winning state is set (that is, the winning state will be a winning state with 8 consecutive unsuccessful wins).

  In other words, during the special game, the capture game executing means for executing the capture game for competing points with the displayed enemy character and the ally character, and the game in which the defeat condition is established by losing the ally point, Game number determination means for determining the number of games until the end condition is satisfied. The internal lottery role has a mutual role, and the mutual role is a role in which an enemy's point is taken and a friend's point may be taken. In the capture game, the capture game execution means includes the internal game If the result of the lottery is the above-mentioned mutual role, it is determined whether or not to take the enemy's points, and if not, the player takes the allied points within a predetermined range to determine the points to be taken. The determination means determines the number of games by executing an end lottery in accordance with a take-off point by the take-out lottery before the defeat condition is established.

  FIG. 56 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for determining the take lottery and the falling lottery.

  Since the main control unit 100 executes the take-out lottery and the falling lottery with one lottery table corresponding to the enemy character, the memory capacity of the ROM 101 can be reduced. In step S300, the main control unit 100 selects a lottery table corresponding to the enemy character, and in step S305, selects a random value Rd from the random values generated within a predetermined random number range (values 0 to 65535). Extraction (a pseudo random number counter value can also be used as a random value Rd). In step S310, the main control unit 100 sets the value of the loop count N to 0, and in step S315, subtracts the stored number Pn corresponding to the loop count N (in this case 0) from the random number value Rd. The random number Rd is set, and the process proceeds to step S320.

  The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the random value Rd exceeds 0 (positive value) in step S320, and if it exceeds, the value obtained by adding 1 to N in step S325 is set as a new N, In step S315, a value obtained by subtracting the stored number Pn corresponding to the loop count N (in this case, 1) from the random number value Rd is set as a new random number value Rd. The process proceeds to step S315, and this loop is repeated until the end condition is satisfied. repeat. On the other hand, if the random value Rd does not exceed 0, the main control unit 100 determines that the termination condition is satisfied, and whether or not the main character SP (shield point) exceeds 0 (positive value) in step S330. Determine whether. If it exceeds, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S335, sets the value of the number of loops N as it is as the number of capture shields (capture shield point), and subtracts the capture shield number from the current SP of the main character in step S340. The subroutine is terminated with SP as the new main character SP. On the other hand, if the SP of the main character does not exceed 0 in step S330, the main control unit 100 stores the defeat rate stored in correspondence with the loop count N (winning probability: in the above case, the winning lottery is defeated with N = 0 points) 25%, N = 1 point, loss rate 50%, N = 2 point, loss rate 75%, N = 3 point, loss rate 90%) are read as data, defeat lottery is executed in step S350, and this subroutine Exit.

  The main control unit 100 selects a lottery table that sequentially stores a plurality of numeric values, extracts one random value Rd from random numbers generated within a predetermined random number range, and extracts the extracted random value By subtracting the number from Rd in order, it is determined whether or not a predetermined end condition is satisfied, and the loop count N is obtained. The main control unit 100 calculates data based on the number N of loops reduced until the end condition is satisfied, and executes game processing using this data. For example, multiplication of the loop count N and a predetermined number (12 times) is performed as a calculation operation, and game processing is performed using data of 12 × N.

  The main control unit 100 determines whether or not to change the normal replay role (defensive role) to a role that takes away enemy points by changing the lottery when the role lottery result is a push order small role (attacking role). decide. When the change lottery is won, the main control unit 100 performs a lottery of the number of continued games (game section) that prevents the opponent from moving, and performs an effect of stopping the enemy time. For example, if the number of continuation games is 5 games and the normal replay role is won in the 2nd and 4th games, the nature of the game will be changed to that of the winning small role (granting damage group). Point capture processing in the game is performed. As a result, during the number of continued games, even if the normal replay role is won, the player is not attacked, so that the player can feel secure.

  When the normal replay combination is continuously won, the main control unit 100 determines by lottery whether or not to shift the stay stage. When winning the transition lottery, the main control unit 100 performs a lottery of either the transition destination of the stage 2 with a magnification of 2 or the stage 3 with a magnification of 3 and the number of continuing games (game section). As a result, the attack power is doubled or tripled during the number of continuous games, and the player has a chance to reverse one shot.

  The main controller 100 executes the mission game lottery when the hour hand of the timepiece object 50 changes from 11 to 12. If the winning lottery is won, a special mission game is started when the start lever is operated with the timepiece 50 pointing to 12:00. As the contents of this mission, for example, if a winning small combination is won three times within 10 games, or if the target small combination is won a predetermined number of times, a battle victory is confirmed in the mission.

  Details of the pseudo RB: When the main control unit 100 activates the pseudo RB, after the state shown in FIG. 35 (C), the main control unit 100 sets the freeze state for several seconds to delay the progress of the game, and starts the pseudo BB during the freeze state. A screen is displayed and the initial number of games is displayed in time (120 minutes). As with the pseudo BB, 5 minutes is equivalent to 1 game, so 24 games are achieved in 120 minutes. The sub-control unit 160 displays “1 hour 60 minutes” as the remaining game on the upper right of the pseudo BB start screen, and adjusts the timepiece 50 to 10:00 (not shown). The main control unit 100 sets a clear point at the start of the pseudo RB, accumulates the points in the first half of the pseudo RB, and determines whether the accumulated condition reaches the clear point in the second half of the pseudo RB and the clear condition is satisfied. Express success or failure by directing. When the main control unit 100 finishes the second half of the pseudo RB, the pseudo RB signal of the external concentration terminal board 170 is temporarily turned from ON (High signal) to OFF (Low signal) in spite of maintaining the RT3 state. When the determination game is executed and the clear condition is satisfied, an additional stock lottery is performed and the process shifts to waiting for a pseudo bonus. On the other hand, the clear condition is not satisfied and the process shifts to a high probability game (long cycle).

  Here, referring to FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, in all gaming states within the square frame, the actual bonus (bonus 1) is simultaneously with another small role (rare small role, etc.) or another replay role (special replay role). If you win the game, you won't win the game, and you will always be on standby (inside). This bonus 1 is a penetrating type 2 type BB, and even if the internal winning, operation (winning), or bonus 1 ends, the replay winning probability does not change. The RT0 state and the RT1 state in FIG. 30 are states in which the loss probability is high. In the carryover state in which the bonus 1 after the next game is won internally, if the loss occurs, the bonus 1 is related to the operation sequence and operation timing of the stop button unit 10. First of all, it is designed to win a prize. However, the RT2 state and the RT3 state are high-probability replay states with a loss probability of 0 (or about 1/6000), and a small role or a replay role is won in all the lottery areas. In the RT3 state, when the BB1 carryover state is entered, it is impossible to win BB1.

  FIG. 39 is a combination table (simultaneous winning pattern of small combinations) of condition devices for push order unquestionable small combinations (common bells 1 to 3). 40 and 41 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  The push order unrecognized small role (common bell) always wins the bell small role (middle bell or lower right bell) regardless of the operation order and operation timing of the stop button unit 10, while bonus 1 is won internally. In the carry-over state, when the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a, when winning one of a plurality of types of one-piece winning combination and displaying the operation pattern of bonus 1 There is a duplicate winning small role. There are three types of common bells, the common bell 1 to the common bell 3, and the player cannot look at the stop shape of the symbol at the time of the second stop and take a single small role.

  The common bell 1 draws the bell symbol into the bell, regardless of how the player operates the stop button portion 10 in any non-carry-over state where the bonus 1 is not internally won (regardless of the pressing order or operation timing). A small role must win. On the other hand, in the carry-over state in which bonus 1 is won internally, the common bell 1 is pushed in order or operated when the player operates the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c (other than the left stop button 10a) in the first stop operation. Regardless of the timing, the bell small part always wins by drawing the bell design. However, when the player operates the left stop button 10a by the first stop operation (first stop operation of a specific reel) during BB carryover, the symbols (replay 1, replay 2 or replay) constituting the 18 kinds of inhibition small roles are performed. Stop any one of 3) on the active line. The operation pattern 1 of bonus 1 is (replay 1 / replay 2 / replay 3) on the left drum 2a, (BAR / jewel / cherry) on the middle drum 2b, and (replay 1) on the right drum 2c. Also, the operation pattern 2 of bonus 1 is (replay 1 / replay 2 / replay 3) on the left drum 2a, (replay 2 / replay 3) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR / jewel / watermelon 1) on the right drum 2c. Even if any of the symbols (replay 1, replay 2, or replay 3) constituting the inhibition small role is stopped, it is a symbol common to bonus 1.

  When the player operates the left stop button 10a by the first stop operation in the carryover state, the main control unit 100, for example, No. 1 replay 3 symbols are stopped on the active line (see FIG. 40A). In this state, there is a possibility that the winning small combination 07 to 09 or the inhibiting small combination 16 to 18 and the bonus 1 may be won, but the inhibiting small combination 01 to 06 or the inhibiting small combination 10 to 15 is in a state where it cannot win. When the player operates the middle stop button 10b by the second stop operation, the main control unit 100, for example, No. The BAR symbol of 2 is stopped on the active line (see FIG. 40 (B)). In this state, only the possibility of winning the inhibition small combination 07 or inhibition small combination 16 and bonus 1 remains. In other words, the two inhibition small roles and bonus 1 are both in the tempered state. Finally, the player sets the right stop button 10c to No. 3 by the third stop operation. When the operation is performed at the timing at which the BAR symbol of 2 is retracted, the main control unit 100 stops the BAR symbol on the active line, wins the inhibition small role 07, and the bell symbols are aligned on the upper horizontal straight line (ineffective line). (See FIG. 40C). In addition, No. If it is time to draw in 18 jewel symbols, the jewel symbol is pulled in and the inhibiting small role 16 wins (not shown). On the other hand, the player stops the right stop button 10c with the third stop operation. 2 BAR symbol and No. 2 When the 18 jewel symbols are operated at a timing at which neither of them can be pulled, the main control unit 100 pulls in the replay 1 symbol and the bonus 1 is won (see FIG. 40D).

  Since FIG. 41A is in the same state as FIG. When the player operates the right stop button 10c by the second stop operation, the main control unit 100, for example, No. The 13 watermelon 1 symbols are stopped on the effective line (see FIG. 41B). In this state, only the possibility of winning the inhibition small combination 09 or inhibition small combination 17 and bonus 1 remains. In other words, the two inhibition small roles and bonus 1 are both in the tempered state. Finally, the player sets the middle stop button 10b to No. 3 by the third stop operation. When the operation is performed at a timing at which 10 jewel symbols can be retracted, the main control unit 100 stops the jewel symbols on the active line, wins the inhibition small role 17, and the bell symbols are aligned on the upper horizontal straight line (ineffective line). (See FIG. 41C). In addition, No. 15 or No. If it is the timing for drawing 18 cherry symbols, the cherry symbol is drawn and the winning small role 09 wins (not shown). On the other hand, when the player operates the right stop button 10c at a timing at which neither the jewelry symbol nor the cherry symbol can be pulled in by the third stop operation, the main control unit 100 pulls in the replay 3 symbol (or the replay 2 symbol). Bonus 1 wins (see FIG. 41D).

  FIG. 57 is a diagram showing a drum layout.

  In each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a swirl belt (not shown) on which a left drum symbol, a middle drum symbol, and a right drum symbol are drawn so as to make a round at the outer periphery of each drum. It is attached to.

  Each swirl belt has a different design (red seven design, blue seven design, BAR design, cherry 1 design, cherry 2 design, watermelon design, bell design, replay design, ball 1 design, ball 2 design 10 20 types) are arranged. The symbol combination display determination diagram is the same as that in FIG.

  FIG. 58 is a payout table at the normal time and when the single bonus is activated.

  When all three reels (rotating drums or drums) are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the active line (see FIG. 22).

  (1) Single Bonus 1 (SB1: Normal character): Replay on the left drum 2a, bell on the middle drum 2b, blue 7 / Cherry 1 / ball 1 on the right drum 2c and stop when aligned on the active line. Is 0 and a single bonus 1 is awarded only for the next game (SB1 is activated). In SB1, there is no missing, the bell symbol is displayed like a small V character, and the operation symbol is always displayed (retraction 100%). In the single bonus game, the winning area of the upper bell combination (increasing combination) described later increases. Since this SB1 is not an RT change opportunity, the winning probability of replay does not change. In addition, there is a function as an opportunity.

  (2) Single Bonus 2 (SB2: Normal character): If the bell is left on the left drum 2a, the watermelon is on the middle drum 2b, and the watermelon is on the right drum 2c and stops on the active line, the number obtained is 0 and the next Single bonus 2 is awarded only for games (SB2 is activated). SB2 is not missed, it appears as if the watermelon symbol has been missed, and the action symbol is always displayed (retraction 100%). In the single bonus game, the winning area of the upper bell combination (increasing combination) described later increases. Since this SB2 is not an RT change opportunity, the winning probability of replay does not change. In addition, there is a function as an opportunity.

  (3) Middle bell: This is the title when the bell symbols are aligned and stopped on the effective line of each drum, and the number obtained is 14.

  (4) Lower right bell: For example, when the replay is stopped on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b is bell, and the right drum 2c is replayed on the active line, a bell symbol is displayed on the lower right, and the lower right bell is awarded. To do. The number of medals (game media) acquired is 14.

  (5) Upper bell: For example, when the left drum 2a is replayed, the middle drum 2b is watermelon, and the right drum 2c is aligned with blue 7 on the active line, the bell symbol is displayed on the upper stage, and the upper bell wins. This is an increase in single bonus game, and the number of medals (game media) acquired is 14.

  (6) Middle watermelon: For example, when the watermelon on the left drum 2a, the watermelon on the middle drum 2b, and the watermelon on the right drum 2c are aligned and stopped on the effective line, the watermelon symbols are displayed in a straight line on the middle stage, and the middle watermelon wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired is 14.

  (7) Lower right watermelon: For example, when the bell on the left drum 2a, the watermelon on the middle drum 2b, and the red 7 on the right drum 2c are aligned and stopped on the active line, the watermelon symbol is displayed in a straight line on the right downward, and the lower right watermelon Won the prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired is 14.

  (8) Middle cherries: For example, when the 9th cherry 1 on the left drum 2a, the 19th BAR on the middle drum 2b, and the 14th cherry 1 on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped, the middle cherries won the prize. To do. The number of medals (game media) acquired is two. It is possible to display three BAR symbols on the right side. The middle cherry role is an opportunity for freezing lottery, and when won, a freezing effect (reel lock and reel effect) is performed, and a pseudo bonus is immediately released.

  (9) Double cherries (weak cherries): For example, when the BAR of No. 8 is placed on the left drum 2a, the cherry 1 or cherry 2 on the middle drum 2b, and the bell on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped. Two cherry symbols are displayed, and two consecutive cherries win. The number of medals (game media) acquired is two.

  (10) Triple cherries (strong cherries): For example, when the BAR # 8 is placed on the left drum 2a, the cherry 1 or cherry 2 is placed on the middle drum 2b, and the watermelon 2 # 11 is placed on the effective drum 2c and stops. Three cherry symbols are displayed on the upper right, and triple cherries win. The number of medals won is two.

  (11) Multiple types of one-piece combinations 1 to n: For example, when the left drum 2a is replayed, the middle drum 2b is BAR, and the right drum 2c is blue 7 aligned on the active line and stopped, the one-piece combination 1 wins . The number of medals (game media) acquired is one. This one-piece combination is a small part for stop control, and there are a plurality of types of one-piece combination 1 to one-piece combination n (n is a natural number of 2 or more). Omitted.

  (12) Normal replay: The title when the replay symbols are aligned on the active line for each drum, and no medals are obtained for this, but the next game can be performed with the bet number of the game maintained it can. Even if the next game is continuously arranged, it is effective, and it is possible to continue playing without consuming coins until a game in which replay is not established. An effect in which medals are automatically inserted before the start of the game is performed, and the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When a normal replay is independently won in random lottery, an RP flag corresponding to the flag area is set and a replay symbol is always displayed. In appearance, the replay symbols are aligned in a central horizontal line. Even if the normal replay action symbol is displayed on the active line, the replay probability does not change.

  (13) RT1 transition replay (replay 1): For example, this is a title when the left drum 2a is BAR, the middle drum 2b is replayed, and the right drum 2c is watermelon on the active line. Although not earned, the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. In appearance, the replay symbols are aligned in a straight line down to the right. When the RT1 transition replay is internally won in the random lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 1 is activated, the replay probability is changed, and the RT1 state is transitioned (so-called fall fall replay). Similarly, as a replaying player who shifts to the RT1 state, there is also a small mountain replay in which replay symbols are displayed in a small mountain shape.

  (14) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): For example, a replay for the left drum 2a, a replay for the middle drum 2b, and a bell for the right drum 2c on the active line. Although not earned, the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. When the RT2 transition replay is internally won in the random lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 2 is activated, the replay probability is changed to about 2/3, and the state is shifted to the RT2 state.

  (15) RT3 transition replay (replay 3): For example, a replay for the left drum 2a, a replay for the middle drum 2b, and a watermelon for the right drum 2c aligned on the active line. Although not earned, the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. When the RT3 transition replay is internally won by random lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 3 is activated, the replay probability is changed to about 2/3, and the RT2 state is transitioned. The RT3 state and the RT2 state have the same replay probability of about 2/3, but the types of regame players to be won are different.

  (16) Chance replay: For example, there is a chance replay in which the replay is displayed on the left drum 2a, the replay is performed on the middle drum 2b, and the cherry is aligned on the right drum 2c.

  (17) Bonus replay 1: This is the title when the red seven symbols are stopped on the active line of each drum. When a big bonus is won as a pseudo bonus, a push order in which bonus replay 1 can be stopped and a target symbol (red seven / blue seven) are displayed.

  (18) Bonus replay 2: This is the title when the blue seven symbols are stopped on the active line of each drum. When a super big bonus is won as a pseudo bonus, a push order in which bonus replay 2 can be stopped and a target pattern (red seven / blue seven) are displayed. As another bonus replay 2, No. 5 watermelon on the left drum 2a, No. 4 red seven on the middle drum 2b, and No. 5 red seven on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line and stopped. Some display the Seven.

  (19) Bonus Replay 3: This is the title when the left drum 2a is stopped with the 3rd red seven, the middle drum 2b with the 4th red seven, and the right drum 2c with the 15th BAR aligned on the active line. When a regular bonus is won as a pseudo bonus, a push order in which the bonus replay 3 can be stopped and a target symbol (red seven / red seven / BAR) are displayed. In addition, (12) normal replay to (19) bonus replay 3 is a game in which a plurality of types of replay roles are won at the same time, and a replay role that is determined in advance according to the operation order is awarded. This is called push order replay.

  (20) Push order small role (push order bell role) (1 to m): RT fluctuation trigger pattern displayed on the active line when the bell role is missed when winning the push order small role described later ( If any one of the special symbols is displayed, the replay probability is changed, and the state shifts to the RT1 state. For example, when a bell is displayed on the left drum 2a, a bell is displayed on the middle drum 2b, and a watermelon is displayed on the right drum 2c (displaying a falling symbol), the gaming state shifts to the RT1 state (other corners are omitted). To do). The main control unit 100 manages the push order small combination and the push order replay as a group combination (or push order group combination), and during the non-AT (when the assist function is not activated), Alternatively, information indicating that the group combination has been won is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160 regardless of which of the push order replays is won internally. The main control unit 100 transmits the winning combination information to the sub-control unit 160 after the second stop operation, and the sub-control unit 160 produces an effect based on the winning combination information.

  FIG. 59 to FIG. 61 are combination tables (simultaneous winning patterns for small combinations) of condition devices for pressing small combinations.

  The push order small combination means that when the operation order of the stop button unit 10 (the push order of the stop button unit 10) is correct, the bell small combination (middle bell or lower right bell) is always won, while the incorrect answer is Displays when one of a plurality of types of small ones (inhibiting small roles) won at the same time is won, and one of a plurality of knitting eyes (bells are missing) There are times when there are duplicate winning small roles. This push order winning combination wins 3 × 1/2, so it can be said that it is a 6-choice winning combination (1/6 winning winning combination).

  In the push order bell 1 group, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the push order small part of the left stop button 10a. There are three types of push order bell 1 groups, push order bell 1-1 to push order bell 1-3, so that the player should not miss a single role by looking at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). Furthermore, the stop button part 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol. Push order bell 1 is a push order small part of the double push order type, and the purpose is to prevent winning of the first small part (bell small part: FRU1) and the first small part with the highest dividend for the purpose of winning a prize. A plurality of types of second small roles (in this case, six types of single small roles (FRU18, FRU22, FRU15, FRU19, FRU20: replay-red 7-blue 7,..., Replay) -Ball 2-Blue 7) and the third small role (FRU4: (Cherry / Watermelon 2) for the left drum, the bell for the middle drum, and the watermelon for the right drum) / A small winning combination that can be won in any of the four symbol combination displays of the ball 2) is won simultaneously (see push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 59). If the answer is correct, one of the symbols stops and 2 of the 6 second small roles There is a possibility that only the second small role will win.The third small role always wins when the first stop operation is correct and the second stop operation is incorrect. The first small role may also be referred to as a specific small role, a purpose small role, or a winning purpose small role.

  In the push order bell 2 group, the correct first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent correct second stop operation is the right stop button 10c push order small combination. In push order bell group 2, there are three types, push order bell 2-1 to push order bell 2-3, so that, like push order bell 1, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). The stop button portion 10 cannot be operated aiming at a symbol so as not to miss a single combination. The pushing order bell 2-1 changes the stop control (correct answer pushing order) when the FUR 12 is further elected to the pushing order bell 1-1. Hereinafter, the same explanation as the push order bell 1 is used.

  In the push order bell group 3, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small part of the left stop button 10a. There are three types of push order bell 3 groups, push order bell 3-1 to push order bell 3-3. Like push order bell 1, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). The stop button portion 10 cannot be operated aiming at a symbol so as not to miss a single combination. Hereinafter, the same explanation as the push order bell 1 group is used.

  In the push order bell 4 group, the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent correct second stop operation is the middle stop button 10b. There are three types in the push order bell group 4 from push order bell 4-1 to push order bell 4-3. Like the push order bell 1 group, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). Therefore, the stop button portion 10 cannot be operated aiming at a symbol so as not to miss one combination. The push order bell 4-1 changes the stop control (correct answer push order) by further winning the push order bell 3-1. Hereinafter, the same explanation as the push order bell 1 is used.

  In the push order bell group 5, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the left stop button 10a, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the push order small part of the middle stop button 10b. There are three types of push order bells 5 to push order bells 5-1 to 5-3, so that, as with push order bell 1, the player looks at each reel's output (stop symbol). The stop button portion 10 cannot be operated aiming at a symbol so as not to miss a single combination. The first small combination (Bell small combination) with the highest payout for the purpose of winning a prize is FRU2, and the bell symbol is displayed in a straight line on the right, so there is no sense of incongruity. Hereinafter, the same explanation as the push order bell 1 group is used.

  In the push order bell 6 group, the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent correct second stop operation is the middle stop button 10b. There are three types in the push order bell group 4 from push order bell 4-1 to push order bell 4-3. Like the push order bell 1 group, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). Therefore, the stop button portion 10 cannot be operated aiming at a symbol so as not to miss one combination. The push order bell 4-1 changes the stop control (correct answer push order) by further winning the push order bell 3-1. Hereinafter, the same explanation as the push order bell 1 is used. In addition, when the push order small combination is elected, the bell small combination wins the prize according to the operation order and the operation timing, the winning of the obstruction small combination, and the display of the push order bell's squeak are the same as the stop control described in the first embodiment. Since the principle is the same, the description of FIGS. 26 to 29 is used.

  FIG. 62 is a game state transition diagram (RT state).

  RT0 in the figure is an initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay role (replaying role) has not changed, and the initial state ("initial replay state") from the game immediately after the step set value is re-entered. ")." The winning probability (replay probability) of the replay in the general game is about 1 / 7.3, especially the RT1 transition replay (replay 1), the RT2 transition replay (replay 2), and the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) at all. Since it is not won, in order to shift from this state to RT1, the above-mentioned push-order small-sized combination must be displayed on the active line.

  If the push order small part is won internally in the general game in the RT0 state and the stop button 10 is operated in the wrong order, and the KOBOSI design is displayed on the active line, the RT1 state is entered from the next game (continuation game). The number is not defined, that is, infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, and most of the combinations shown in FIG. 58 can be selected by random numbers, and can be won alone or simultaneously. That is, the game in the initial state and the RT1 state is a game state having approximately the same 1 / 7.3 replay probability, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is in the RT1 state.

  When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state and the action symbol is displayed on the active line, the RT2 state is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about ½. In RT2, the winning probability of two single bonus roles and small roles is about 1/3, so the winning probability of single bonus roles, small roles and replay roles is 5/6 (83.3%). The state becomes 1/6 (16.7%).

  The RT1 transition replay (replay 1) is a function for quickly dropping to the RT1 state because the RT2 transition replay is activated when the RT2 transition replay is activated when the player accidentally presses the stop button unit 10 accidentally. , Has the same function as Koboshi) (falling replay).

  When the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won and activated in the RT2 state, the RT3 state has approximately the same 1/2 replay probability. Further, the RT3 state is different in that the type of replay combination won in the RT2 state and the size of the winning area are different. The loss probability in the RT3 state is 1/6 (16.7%), which is the same as that in the RT2 state. Actual bonuses (type 1 BB, type 2 BB, RB) are not installed.

  FIG. 63 is a game state transition diagram (effect state).

  The main control unit 100 is in charge of the control relating to the game performance, determines all the gaming states shown in FIG. 62, and sends information on the gaming state (gaming state information) to the sub-control unit 160. Notify. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 governs control related to effects (liquid crystal, various lamps, accessories, etc.), and executes various effects based on the gaming state information received from the main control unit 100.

  When the step set value is re-entered, the main control unit 100 clears various data according to the set value and performs various lotteries to set necessary data to an initial state, so that the player can start a normal game. Become. The normal stage (normal game) is composed of four normal stages A to D and a high-accuracy stage, and state numbers 0 to 4 are assigned in order. This high-accuracy stage is a gaming state in which a pseudo bonus is won with a higher probability than the four normal stages A to D (a state in which the expected value of winning the pseudo bonus is high). The pseudo bonus standby state is state number 4 and is an ART preparation state for transitioning the RT state. There are three pseudo bonuses in the ART state, and two big bonuses, blue BB (state number 6) and red BB (state number 7), and regular bonus RB (state number 8) are provided. State number 9 is assigned to the pseudo bonus notification state, which is a state of notifying the pseudo bonus acquired during the pseudo bonus, and is completed in one game.

  In the normal stage, the normal stage A to the normal stage D and the high-accuracy stage are digested, and one cycle elapses when moving to the next stage. For example, when the normal stage A is completely digested (finished) and the condition for shifting to the high-accuracy stage is satisfied, one cycle is obtained. The stage before the transition and the stage before the transition are not the same, and when transitioning from the ART state to the non-ART state, transition to the high-accuracy stage is not performed.

  In the normal stage A, the game ends with 32 games and 2 to 6 consecutive effects, and when a point that is a threshold value or more is acquired, a pseudo bonus is won. In the normal stage B, the game ends in 20 to 40 games, and the ART lottery is performed when the small roles are continuously established. In the normal stage C, the game ends in 24 to 48 games, the ART lottery is performed at the start stage, and the ART rewriting lottery is performed according to the winning combination in the stage. In the normal stage D, the game ends in 35 to 50 games, the ART lottery is performed at the start stage, and the ART rewriting lottery is performed according to the winning combination in the stage. In the high-accuracy stage, the game ends in 10 to 15 games, the ART lottery is performed at the start stage, and the ART rewriting lottery is performed according to the winning combination in the stage. Blue BB and red BB are guaranteed over 50 games, and RB is guaranteed over 25 games.

  The main control unit 100 performs three lotteries when the setting is changed. First, a stay stage lottery is performed, and any one of the four stages of the normal stage A to the normal stage D is determined with the same probability of 25%, while the highly accurate stage is not selected. The reason is that if a high-accuracy stage is provided in the morning, it is assumed that the player simply checks the liquid crystal display device for the high-accuracy stage and does not actually play the game. Next, the main control unit 100 performs transfer point drawing. This transition point is a point for shifting to the high-accuracy stage, and if it is equal to or greater than a threshold value (for example, 10 points), the condition for shifting to the high-accuracy stage is established. In the transfer point lottery, MAX 20 points may be won, but even if the transfer condition is satisfied after the setting is changed, the high-accuracy stage is not transferred and the next stage becomes the high-accuracy stage. Then, the main control unit 100 determines the number of ceiling cycles by drawing the number of ceilings. When the player has played a plurality of times and reaches the ceiling, the main control unit 100 rewrites the ART win if the ART is not win at the end of the cycle.

  64 to 67 show various lottery tables and data.

  It is assumed that the normal stage A is selected by stage drawing when the setting is changed, the transition point to the high accuracy stage is 3 and the number of ceiling cycles is 16.

  Stage transition rules: The main control unit 100 uses the acquisition point table (see FIG. 64 (A)) during the game of each of the normal stage A to the normal stage D and the high-precision stage to acquire according to the winning combination. Determine points. The winning points are 1 point for weak cherry, 3 points for strong cherry, 1 point for weak watermelon, 3 points for strong watermelon, 1 point for SB1, and SB2 Three points are predetermined. The main control unit 100 determines which point lottery table to select at the end of the normal stage A by comparing the total acquired points, which are the total of the acquired points, with a threshold value. The threshold corresponding to the normal stage A is 5 points, and the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the total acquired points are equal to or greater than the threshold, and if the selection condition is not satisfied, the point lottery with the low expected value of the generated points The table A is selected, and the generation point in the current normal stage A is determined by lottery. On the other hand, if the selection condition is satisfied, the point lottery table B having a high expected value of the transition point is selected, and the generation point in the current normal stage A is determined by lottery. The main control unit 100 adds the generated point to the current transition point and carries it over to the next stage. For example, if the current transition point is 3 and the occurrence point is 8 points, the transition point is 11 points, and the transition condition of the threshold (10 points) or more is satisfied. The threshold value (10 points) is subtracted from 11 transition points, and a new transition point is set to 1. This transition point is carried over to the next high-accuracy stage. However, if the occurrence point is 2 points, the transition point becomes 5 points and the transition condition is not satisfied, so the next stage is determined from the normal stage B to the normal stage D other than the current normal stage A, and the current stage Carry 5 transition points to the next stage. Since the main control unit 100 has completed the normal stage A, the main control unit 100 subtracts 1 from the ceiling cycle number of 16 to obtain the remaining 15 cycles as the ceiling cycle.

  Stage transition lottery: In the conventional method, one of the three transition destinations, normal stage B to normal stage D, has the same probability of 1/3 with respect to the current stay stage (normal stage A). In order to make a decision, it is necessary to create a migration destination lottery table shown in FIG. 65A and store it as a plurality of data. As a result, since the storage capacity of the ROM 101 was under pressure, the following new ideas were made.

  The main control unit 100 manages the four gaming states of the normal stage A to the normal stage D with 4-bit normal stage data. If the normal stage data is 8 (3 bits is 1 and the other bits are 0), the main control unit 100 is normal stage A, and if the normal stage data is 4 (2 bits is 1 and the other bits are 0), the normal stage is B, if normal stage data is 2 (1 bit is 1 and other bits are 0), normal stage C, if normal stage data is 1 (0 bits is 1 and other bits are 0), normal stage D and the current Recognize the stage.

  In the stay stage lottery when the setting is changed, the main control unit 100 determines a stage value of 0 to 3 with a probability of 25% by random number lottery. Since the main control unit 100 sets 0 bit to 1 if the stage value is 0, the stay stage is the normal stage D. Similarly, if the stage value is 1, 1 bit is set to 1, and the stay stage is set to the normal stage C. If the stage value is 2, 2 bits is set to 1, and the stay stage is set to the normal stage B. If the stage value is 3, 3 bits is set to 1, and the stay stage is set to the normal stage A (see FIG. 65B).

  In the above embodiment, it is explained that the normal stage A is won in the stay stage drawing when the setting is changed. However, this normal stage A has a special meaning in the stay stage drawing, and the stay when the setting is changed. Other than the stage lottery, the normal stage A is not directly drawn, and it is determined whether or not to shift to the normal stage A by logical processing. In the stay stage lottery other than when the setting is changed, the main control unit 100 determines a stage value of 0 to 2 with a probability of 1/3 (1/3) by random lottery. Since the main control unit 100 sets 0 bit to 1 if the stage value is 0, the stay stage is the normal stage D. Similarly, if the stage value is 1, 1 bit is set to 1, and the stay stage is set to the normal stage C. If the stage value is 2, 2 bits is set to 1, and the stay stage is set to the normal stage B. That is, the normal stage A which is the current stay stage is excluded, and one of the normal stages A to D is determined by lottery. FIG. 65C shows that the current stay stage is the normal stage B, the stage value of 1 is won, 1 bit is set to 1, and the stay stage is shifted to the normal stage C. On the other hand, FIG. 65D shows that the current stay stage is the normal stage B, the stage value of 2 is won, and the stay stage of the transfer destination is the same normal stage B, so the excluded normal stage A is won, This shows that the stay stage at the transfer destination is the normal stage A. That is, there are a plurality of normal stages S1 to normal stages Sn (n is an integer of 3 or more), and in the stay stage drawing at the time of setting change, any one of the normal stages S1 to normal stages Sn is determined. On the other hand, in the stay stage lottery except when the setting is changed, any one normal stage is excluded and the transfer destination normal stage is drawn, and if the current stay stage and the transfer destination stay stage are the same, it is excluded The normal stage is set as the stay stage at the transfer destination (if it is not the same, the stage is set as the stay stage at the transfer destination).

  Details of the normal stage: In the normal stage A, a battle effect (continuous effect) of 2 to 6 games for notifying 32 games (specified number of games) and game results is performed. When the main control unit 100 shifts to the normal stage A, the main control unit 100 determines a clear point that is a threshold value for winning the ART, and determines an acquisition point by lottery according to the winning combination. The main control unit 100 adds the acquired points to the total points to determine whether or not the clear point has been reached, and if the clear point is reached, the ART is selected. The main control unit 100 transmits the acquired points and the total points for each game to the sub-control unit 160, and the sub-control unit 160 increases the point gauge of the display effect device 11 by 1 every time 10 points are accumulated. Turn on one. That is, the point gauge has 10 squares, and when the total points are 10 points, one square is lit, and when all 10 squares are lit at 100 points, the ART winning is confirmed. The main control unit 100 adds 70 points (predetermined points) when the total points are 9 points or less at the time when 32 games (the number of specified games) have been consumed. For example, if the total points are 9 points at the end of 32 games, it will be changed to 79 points. That is, it is advantageous for the player if the point gauge of the display effect device 11 is not lit at all. In the case where the winning combination is a push order small combination, the main control unit 100 draws the acquisition points when the operation order is correct and the Bell small combination wins, but if the Bell small combination does not win, Do not draw. However, if the winning combination is not played in the last game of the continuous performance, the acquired points are drawn.

  In the normal stage B, the main control unit 100 determines the value of the game number counter B (the number of staying games: 20 games to 40 games), and the total points of consecutive small roles until the losing is drawn during the number of staying games. Depending on the situation, whether the ART is successful or not is selected, and if it is won, “1” is added to the number of ART stocks. As shown in FIG. 66 (A), the acquisition points are determined in advance according to the winning combination. However, if the winning combination is a push order bell (push order small role), when the operation order is correct and the bell small role wins, 1 point is earned, but if the bell small role does not win, the earned point Becomes 0. However, in the case where the small winning combination is made in the final game of the normal stage B, the earned point is set to 1 point regardless of the winning of the small bell combination. In addition, you may determine the acquisition point with the lottery table of the expected value according to the winning combination.

  The main control unit 100 subtracts 1 from the value of the game number counter B every time the stage game is played, and stays on the stage until the game number counter B reaches zero. In FIG. 66 (B), the first game is losing, and the second game is pushed in the order bell and the bell small part wins, so the acquired point is 1 point. Normal replay was won in the 3rd game, but it corresponds to losing, and the consecutive acquisition point is 1 point, and the winning lottery is performed using Table 1 corresponding to this 1 point, but the expected value of winning is extremely low (1/500 ) Similarly, a table 2 corresponding to 2 points, a table 3 corresponding to 3 points,... (N−1), a table (N−1) corresponding to (N−1) points, and a table N corresponding to N points are used for the winning lottery. (Table N has a winning probability of 100%.) The game lost in the 4th game, and the points earned were 0, and the middle cherries won in the 5th game, so the points earned were 10 points. With 4 points, the consecutive acquisition points will be 16 points, SB2 won in the 7th game, so the acquisition points will be 3 points, the consecutive acquisition points will be 19 points, and since the 8th game will be lost, 19 A winning lottery is performed using a pouring table (super-accurate or 99%, etc.) corresponding to the points (see FIG. 66 (C)). When the winning is 100, the ART stock number is incremented by “1.” When the game number counter B reaches 0, the main control unit 100 draws a continuous effect game number, and in the final game of the continuous effect, If the number of ART stocks is 1 or more, it shifts to pseudo bonus standby, while if it is not won, it shifts to the remaining 4 stages (normal stage A, normal stage C, normal stage D or high accuracy stage) in the non-ART state Let

  In the normal stage C, the main control unit 100 draws out whether the ART is successful at the start of the stage, and adds “1” to the number of ART stocks when winning. Further, the main control unit 100 draws out how many games are played when the stage is shifted to, and announces success or failure (ART winning or unsuccessful) in the final game of the production section. In the game during the normal stage C, the main control unit 100 executes the rewriting lottery according to the winning combination (role lottery result) on the condition that the number of ART stock is 0. Is added. In the final game of the normal stage C, the main control unit 100 shifts to the pseudo bonus standby if the number of ART stock is 1 or more, while if not winning, the remaining four stages in the non-ART state (normal stage A) , Normal stage B, normal stage D or high-accuracy stage).

  In the normal stage D, the main control unit 100 draws out whether the ART is successful at the start of the stage, and adds “1” to the number of ART stocks when winning. Further, the main control unit 100 determines the value of the game number counter D (the number of stay games: 35 games to 50 games), and subtracts 1 from the value every time one game of the stage is played, and the game number counter B Until it becomes 0, a lottery to switch to “ART hit” is performed according to the winning combination. When this switching lottery is won, the remaining number of games is determined again by lottery. However, when the ART stock number is further added while the ART stock number is 1 or more, the remaining game number is not drawn. The reason is that if a rare small role is elected and the number of ART stocks is added, it will continue indefinitely. If the game number counter D is 0 and the ART stock number is 1 or more, the main control unit 100 shifts to the pseudo bonus standby, while if not winning, the remaining four stages in the non-ART state (normal stage) A, normal stage B, normal stage C, or high-accuracy stage).

  Highly accurate stage: The main control unit 100 determines the next stage with high accuracy if the transition condition that the ART is not selected and the transition point is equal to or greater than the threshold (10 points) is satisfied at the end of each of the normal stage A to the normal stage D. Decide on a stage. When the main control unit 100 shifts to the high-accuracy stage, the clear point (CPt) is determined by lottery using the clear point lottery table and transmitted to the sub-control unit 160. This CPt is any one of 1000 Pt, 500 Pt, 200 Pt, and 100 Pt. Although the high-accuracy stage is fixed to 11 games, a reverse lottery is executed at the start of the high-accuracy stage. The main control unit 100 adds “1” to the number of stocks when the number of stocks is “0” in the stage where the high-accuracy stage has completed 11 games. In other words, if the winning is a reverse lottery, a reverse flag is set, and when the number of stocks is “0” when 11 games are consumed, the next game is executed to perform a reverse effect. Therefore, if the game is cleared within 11 games, the reverse flag that was standing at 1 is rewritten to 0, and the setting for transfer is cancelled.

  The main control unit 100 subtracts the acquired points from CPt in the first to eleventh games of the high-accuracy stage, and when the remaining CPt becomes 0, the stage is cleared and “1” is added to the stock number. The winning points in each game of the high-precision stage are determined not depending on the winning combination, and the first place (Pt1) of the acquired points is determined using a predetermined lottery table. The tenth place (Pt10) of the acquisition points is determined. As a result, the acquired points in the game are (Pt10 × 10 + Pt1). The main control unit 100 transmits the acquired points to the sub control unit 160, and when the game number counter becomes 0 and the ART stock number is 1 or more, the main control unit 100 shifts to the pseudo bonus waiting state. The remaining four stages in the non-ART state (normal stage A, normal stage B, normal stage C, or normal stage D) are transferred. As with the setting change, even if the transition point is 10 points or more at the end of the high accuracy stage, any one of the normal stage A to the normal stage D is selected. It will not be a stage. In addition, although the acquisition point is composed of a tens place value and a one place value, it may be a hexadecimal number (h: hex), for example, and in this case, as in 1Ah or FFh, It is good also as a combination of the value and lower value.

  Based on various information received from the main control unit 100 (including CPt information and earned point information), the sub-control unit 160 performs a bowling effect imitating one enemy on the display effect device 11 as a single bowling pin. indicate. For example, if the received CPt is 1000 Pt, “Defeat 1000 enemies” is displayed on the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 67A). When the CPt of the first game in the high-accuracy stage received from the main control unit 100 is 28 points, the sub-control unit 160 multiplies this CPt by 10 to obtain 280 points in order to produce a powerful effect. Generate double points. FIG. 67B is an adjustment point table, and adjustment point table 1 to adjustment point table N exist. Each point of the first game to the eleventh game in the adjustment point table is an adjustment point, and is added to 10 times the points of each game. For example, if the adjustment point table 1 is selected and the 10 times point of the sixth game is 120 points, 9 points (adjustment points) are added to become 129 points, and the 10 times point of the seventh game is 90 points. For example, (-6) points (adjustment points) are added to 84 points (or 6 points are subtracted). Since the total of the points of the first game to the eleventh game in the adjustment point table 1 to the adjustment point table N is assigned to be 0, the actual remaining points are displayed when the 11th game is reached. It will be. This adjustment point is a one-digit value from -9 to +9 (including 0).

  It is assumed that the sub-control unit 160 has selected the adjustment point table 1 to the adjustment point table N by lottery, for example, the adjustment point table 2 has been selected. If the CPt of the first game in the high-accuracy stage received from the main control unit 100 is 28 points, the sub-control unit 160 multiplies CPt by 10 to give 280 points in order to produce a powerful effect. The adjustment points (−4) points for the first game are added to obtain 276 display points. Based on this display point, the sub-control unit 160 displays 276 enemies as defeated (see FIG. 67 (C)), and finally displays the remaining 724 bodies. A display effect is produced in the same manner as in the game, and when the remaining number is 0, the game is won. If the CPt is simply multiplied by 10 and displayed, the 1's place will always be 0, so the player will feel uncomfortable, but by providing an adjustment point in this way, the production will be widened and powerful without any discomfort. This produces a unique effect that can be produced.

  When the main control unit 100 shifts to the pseudo bonus standby state, the main control unit 100 determines the type of pseudo bonus (red 7BB, blue 7BB, RB), and performs addition drawing of the number of stocks according to the winning combination. The main control unit 100 instructs the push order to shift the RT state from RT1 to RT2 and from RT2 to RT3 (see FIG. 62). When the bonus replay is established and the bonus type is matched, End the bonus standby state and start a pseudo bonus. During the red 7BB and blue 7BB games, a battle game divided into enemy ally is performed, and the general or the enemy general 1 to the enemy general 10 are played. In the case of Blue 7BB, the main character (ally) and the general fight, and in the case of Red 7BB, the main character (ally) and one of the enemy generals 1 to 10 are faced, but the enemy general 1 to the enemy general 10 In this order, the strength becomes weaker and the reward when winning is reduced (strength: general> enemy general 1> ...> enemy general 10). A lottery is performed to subtract the enemy's HP (hit points) at the start of red 7BB and blue 7BB (initial subtraction lottery). In the case of red 7BB, one of the enemy generals 1 to 10 is selected.

  When determining the type of pseudo bonus, the main control unit 100 adds / subtracts the RB bias point to avoid the occurrence of the case where the RB continues for a certain amount or is biased to the RB as much as possible. The pseudo bonus is set to either red 7BB or blue 7BB, and RB is not selected. The RB bias point is an integer of 0 or more, and “2” is added at the start of RB, while “1” is subtracted at the start of red 7BB or blue 7BB. When the RB bias point is “5” or more when the main control unit 100 shifts to the pseudo bonus standby state, the main control unit 100 executes a lottery in which only the next pseudo bonus is selected from red 7BB or blue 7BB. Since this RB bias point is maintained even after the pseudo bonus is completed, the next pseudo bonus is always either red 7BB or blue 7BB if the current RB bias point is “5” or more. Become.

  The main control unit 100 adds or subtracts consecutive defeat points as measures when the enemy general loses or loses in red 7BB or blue 7BB, and selects a weak enemy general as the next opponent when a predetermined condition is met. It becomes like this. The continuous defeat point is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and “2” is added when the enemy general is defeated, while “1” is subtracted when the enemy general is defeated. When the consecutive defeat point is “5” or more and the next pseudo bonus is red 7BB, the main control unit 100 selects the enemy general 10 who is most likely to defeat, and initializes the consecutive defeat point to “0”.

  In the red 7BB game or the blue 7BB game, the main control unit 100 executes a battle game process in which the main characters attack the selected enemy general character and take away the opponent's HP, and the sub control unit 160 performs the main control unit 100. A battle effect is displayed on the display effect device 11 on the basis of various information sent from. The main control unit 100 determines a damage base value by lottery according to a winning combination during the battle game, and thereafter performs a lottery lottery to determine a magnification. The damage value given to the enemy general character is the damage base value × the magnification, and the damage value obtained by the calculation is taken from the opponent's HP.

  The main control unit 100 manages the pseudo bonus game with the game number counter 1 and the game number counter 2, and subtracts (calculates) 1 from the game number counter 1 every time one game progresses. When the game number counter 1 is “0”, 1 is subtracted from the game number counter 2 every time one game progresses. The game number counter 1 is a fixed value of 50 games, but the game number counter 2 is the number of times (at least once) before falling into the loop lottery. For example, assuming a drop rate of 10% (continuation rate of 90%), in the loop lottery, the player falls down on average 10 times, and this 10 times becomes the value of the game number counter 2. The main control unit 100 has a difference number counter value that is the difference between the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals in the pseudo bonus game. When this difference number counter value is less than 100 and the HP of the enemy general character is 1 or more, The subtraction (calculation) of the game number counter 2 is not performed. As a result, at least 100 medals are guaranteed to increase in the pseudo bonus game.

  When the HP of the enemy general becomes “0” before the game number counter 1 becomes “0”, the main control unit 100 wins the battle (defeats the enemy general), so the game number counter 2 is set to “0”. , Perform a pseudo-bonus stock lottery and add the number of stocks won. Then, the main control unit 100 performs stock winning / no-winning lottery according to the winning combination until the game number counter 1 becomes “0”, and when winning, the stock number is incremented by “1”.

  The main control unit 100 draws the number of announcement games because the battle wins when the enemy general's HP becomes “0” after the game number counter 1 becomes “0”. Rewrite to counter 2. Then, a pseudo bonus stock lottery is performed and the number of winning stocks is added. The main control unit 100 starts subtraction (calculation) of the game number counter 2 when the number counter value is 100 or more and the HP of the enemy general character is 1 or more. When the pseudo bonus game is advanced and the game number counter 2 reaches “0”, the main control unit 100 ends the pseudo bonus game and shifts to the pseudo bonus notification (see FIG. 63). If the HP of the enemy general is “1” or more and both the game number counter 1 and the game number counter 2 become “0”, the main control unit 100 ends the pseudo bonus game because the battle is defeated, If there is, there is a transition to the pseudo bonus standby, and if there is no stock, the stage moves to the normal stage. After winning the battle, when the game shifts to a pseudo-bonus announcement for one game, a lottery for the number of stocks is performed according to the winning combination. The sub-control unit 160 performs a pseudo-bonus announcement effect, and the main control unit 100 then shifts to a pseudo-bonus standby.

  The main control unit 100 determines the continuation rate by lottery at the start of the RB game, and determines the number of games to stay by performing loop lottery using the continuation rate (loop rate). The number of staying games is the result of loop drawing (an integer of at least 0) × 10 + 20, and a minimum of 20 games is guaranteed. Then, this stay game number is set in the game number counter 1. The main control unit 100 subtracts 1 from the game number counter 1 every time an RB game progresses. The main control unit 100 has a difference counter value that is the difference between the number of inserted medals and the number of payouts in the RB game, and when the game number counter 1 is “0” and the difference number counter value is less than 50, “10” is added to the number counter 1. As a result, in RB games, an increase of at least 50 medals is guaranteed.

  In the RB game, the main control unit 100 draws the number of stocks according to the winning combination, and when winning, adds the number of winning stocks and sets the number of precursor games until the reel effect occurs. The main control unit 100 performs a reel freeze effect when the number of precursor games is reached, and displays the BAR symbols aligned in a straight line to notify the player of the pseudo bonus winning. When the game number counter 1 reaches “0”, the RB game is terminated.

  When the main control unit 100 finishes the pseudo bonus (red 7BB or blue 7BB, RB game), the main control unit 100 performs a stay stage lottery, and selects one of the normal stage A to the normal stage D with the same probability of 25%. Although it is decided, a high-precision stage is never selected. Next, the main control unit 100 performs addition transition point lottery and adds the winning points to the transition points that have been taken over. Then, the main control unit 100 determines the number of ceiling cycles by drawing the number of ceilings, and shifts to one of the normal stages.

Pseudo bonus waiting state:
While waiting for the pseudo bonus (RT1 state in FIG. 60), the main control unit 100 turns off the external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) and the external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) of the external concentrated terminal board 170. When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state, the sub control unit 160 is notified of the operation order of the stop button unit 10. When correctly operated by the player, the action pattern of RT2 transition replay is displayed on the active line, and the RT2 state is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about ½. Further, the main control unit 100 informs the sub control unit 160 of the operation order of the stop button unit 10 when the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won in the RT2 state. When correctly operated by the player, the action pattern of the RT3 transition replay is displayed on the active line, and the RT3 state with approximately the same replay probability is obtained.

  The main control unit 100 determines the pseudo BB or pseudo RB to be released in the RT3 state, and in the case of the pseudo BB, the red 7 symbol or the blue 7 symbol (a combination of special symbols) is displayed in a central straight line. Waiting for Bonus Replay 1 or Bonus Replay 2 (can be displayed in a straight line). In the case of a pseudo RB, the player waits for a bonus replay 3 in which (red 7 symbol, red 7 symbol, BAR symbol: combination of special symbols) are displayed in a central straight line. In this standby state (RT3 state), the main control unit 100 turns on the start flag when a bonus replay combination (bonus replays 1 to 3) corresponding to the determined bonus type is won internally. When the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo BB, main controller 100 turns external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) on after all the cylinders have stopped. Further, when the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo RB, main controller 100 turns external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) on after all the cylinders stop. On the other hand, when the external output signal 1 is in the ON state, the main control unit 100 sets the OFF state when the gaming state becomes the normal state or the pseudo bonus notification state. Further, when the external output signal 2 is in the ON state, the main control unit 100 sets the OFF state when the gaming state becomes the normal state or the pseudo bonus notification state. The start flag is also referred to as a preparation completion flag indicating that the external output signal is ready to be output (a flag indicating a preparation completion state or an opportunity flag serving as an output trigger of the pseudo bonus signal).

  In the pseudo bonus standby state (RT1 state), the main control unit 100 turns on the start flag when the RT2 transition replay is internally won, the RT2 transition replay symbol is not displayed, and the transition to RT2 is not performed. When the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo BB, main controller 100 turns external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) on after all the cylinders have stopped. Further, when the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo RB, main controller 100 turns external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) on after all the cylinders stop.

  In the pseudo bonus standby state (RT2 state), the main control unit 100 turns on the start flag when the RT3 transition replay is internally won, the RT3 transition replay symbol is not displayed, and the transition to RT3 is not performed. When the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo BB, main controller 100 turns external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) on after all the cylinders have stopped. Further, when the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo RB, main controller 100 turns external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) on after all the cylinders stop.

  In the pseudo-bonus standby state (RT2 state or RT3 state), the main control unit 100 internally wins the push order small combination (push order bell combination), and the payout number is 0 (when no medal is paid out). The start flag is turned on. When the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo BB, main controller 100 turns external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) on after all the cylinders have stopped. Further, when the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo RB, main controller 100 turns external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) on after all the cylinders stop.

  FIG. 68 is a game state transition diagram (effect state). FIG. 69 is a comparison table of the deviation of the balls according to the present invention and the present invention.

  The third embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment, and the pseudo BB shown in FIG. 31 is divided into the first half and the second half, but in this embodiment, a battle game with the enemy is performed throughout the pseudo BB. The difference from FIG. 31 is only the pseudo BB, and the other description uses the first embodiment.

  The main control unit 100 determines, by lottery, how many games the pseudo BB will be played when the pseudo BB enters, and transmits it to the sub control unit 160. When the determined initial number of pseudo BB games is 36, the sub-control unit 160 sets the initial time as 180 minutes and the clock object 50 in FIG. 36A to 9:00. When determining the number of extras according to the result lottery result (actual bonus, rare small combination, chance combination, etc.), the main control unit 100 draws with the probability according to the total value of the number of remaining games and the number of digested games. For example, if the initial number of games is 36 and 20 games are digested, the remaining number of games is 16, so if there is no additional game, the total number is equal to the initial number of games.

  FIG. 69 (A) shows the bias of the appearance in the conventional gaming machine. When the total value is 1 game to 200 games, assuming that the net increase is 1.4, the expected number of acquisition is 0 to 280, The generation rate is 50%. Similarly, when the total value is 201 games to 400 games, the expected number of acquired numbers is 281 to 560, and the generation rate is 25%. When the total value is 401 games to 600 games, the expected number of acquired numbers is 561 to 840, and the generation rate is 12.5%. When the total value is 601 to 800 games, the expected number of acquired sheets is 841 to 1120, and the generation rate is 6.25%. When the total value is 801 to 1000 games, the expected number of acquired sheets is 1121 to 1400, and the generation rate is 6.25%. In other words, as the total value increases, the occurrence rate gradually decreases. As a result, there is a problem that it is not possible to bias the piles of balls.

  FIG. 69 (B) shows the bias of the game in the gaming machine of the present invention. The total value is the same as that in the conventional game from 1 game to 400 games, but the total value is an area from 401 games to 800 games ( By making the winning probability of the total value zone) high, the occurrence rate is reduced to 0 or significantly, so it becomes less than 1%. When the total value is 801 to 1000 games, the expected number of acquired sheets is 1121 to 1400, and the generation rate is increased by that amount to 25%. As a result, it is possible to bias the piles of balls, and it is possible to intentionally increase the number of acquired sheets from 1000 to 1500. The winning probabilities for each area are low probabilities with a total value of 1 game to 200 games, medium probabilities with a total value of 201 games to 400 games, high probabilities with a total value of 401 games to 600 games, and a total value of 601 games to 800 The game has an extremely high probability, and the total value is an extremely low probability of 801 to 1000 games. In the pseudo-BB battle game, the lottery result determined according to the combination value and the total value zone, and when the addition occurs, the enemy boss character corresponding to the amount appears, fighting the hero and defeating the hero Is done. Similarly, when determining the additional number, the lottery is performed with a probability corresponding to the total value of the remaining number and the acquired number. The acquired number includes the number paid out by the actual bonus. Furthermore, the difference quantity between the payout quantity and the input quantity may be calculated, and the additional quantity may be determined by lottery with an addition probability corresponding to the total value of the remaining quantity and the difference quantity in the special game. . In other words, lottery will be drawn with the probability of addition determined according to the role lottery result and the total value zone, and when an increase occurs, an enemy boss character will appear according to the amount of addition, and an effect to fight and defeat the hero will be performed .

  FIG. 69 (C) shows a difference in expected values for shifting to the normal stage or the high-accuracy stage in the gaming machine of the present invention. At the end of the ART, an expected value to be transferred is determined according to the number of remaining games up to 1500G, which is an advantageous section limiter. The greater the number of remaining games, the higher the probability of shifting to the high-accuracy stage. As a result, if the number of remaining games is small, the probability of shifting to the high-accuracy stage decreases, so it is less likely that the player wins ART and becomes a 1500G limiter, and the player is prevented from being disadvantaged. it can.

  More specifically, as a game, it is a gaming machine capable of continuously executing up to the maximum number of normal games and advantageous games more advantageous than the normal games, and a plurality of spinning machines having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface. It has. The main control means 100 internally draws a combination in the game, rotates a plurality of spinning cylinders in the game, accepts an operation of a stop switch provided for each spinning cylinder, and individually selects the corresponding spinning cylinder. Stop and display symbols according to the result of the internal lottery. There is lottery data (lottery table) that defines the relationship between the remaining advantageous game number range and the winning probability. The larger the remaining advantageous game number range, the higher the winning probability of this lottery data. . Advantageous games include a notification game (ART) for notifying the operation sequence of the stop switch and a high-probability game with a high winning probability of ART, and the probability of winning the notification game is higher in the high-probability game than in the normal game. It has become. The main control means 100, when the termination condition of the notification game (ART) is established and the transition is made to the normal game or the high probability game, the main control means 100 draws with the winning probability determined by the range of the remaining advantageous games and the lottery data, A transfer game destination is determined (transfer destination lottery).

  FIG. 69D is a conceptual diagram of stage transition in the gaming machine of the present invention. The advantageous section can only be continuously up to 1500G, but the following game system can be constructed. For the player, ART (a section where the bell navigation is output) is once finished, and the game moves to a normal state (a section where the bell navigation does not occur) and hits the ART again. However, in the high-probability game, counting up continues toward an advantageous section of 1500G in terms of internal processing. Depending on the timing of pulling back the ART, the ART is pulled back, but the situation is that it is immediately caught by the 1500G regulation and the ART has to be terminated. However, in the present invention, the number of ART games becomes 0 in the advantageous section (in the ART). In this case, it is determined whether the transition is made to the normal section or the advantageous section without setting difference. Further, referring to the remaining advantageous section game number (how many G can be used with respect to 1500G) as the lottery axis at that time, if the remaining advantageous section game number is small, transition to the normal section. When there are many, it changes to an advantageous section.
