Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine or the like that can accurately convey the number of times an AT state has been reached, and can provide a sense of expectation and a stimulus that can be obtained by itself, such as the number of AT games.
This means that a special button 14 has been hit 9 times, indicating that a total of 23 additional games have been acquired. The gauge is displayed in the lower part of the figure, and the gauge progresses from left to right up to about 20% filled with black. When this gauge is filled to 100%, the mission is achieved. Further, it is a state where the player has hit six times continuously, indicating that a total of 109 times has been obtained. The mission clear conditions (achievement conditions) are based on the assumption that the number of extra games acquired in the special extra game is 100, and the number of extra games is 89 at the time of acquiring 50 in the 14th time, so the clear condition (predetermined condition) Is not achieved, but since it reached 100 when it earned 20 in the 15th time, the mission is cleared.

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine (rotating game machine) called a pachislot using a medal as a game medium or a pachilot using a pachinko ball as a game medium.

  In the present invention, the control steps or control procedures for realizing the method are as follows: semiconductor memory, LD (laser disk), HD (hard disk), FD (flexible disk), MD (mini disk), CD (Compact disc), DVD (digital versatile disc or digital video disc), or a program (for example, game software) recorded on an information storage medium such as a blue ray disc itself.

  In recent years, games using a swivel type game machine called a pachislot machine have been actively performed in conventional pachinko halls and pachislot halls. There is also a spinning-type game machine called a pacilot (or parrot) that performs the above-described spinning-type game using a pachinko ball used in a pachinko machine (bullet-type game machine) as a game medium. In video game machines such as amusement facilities, and PCs and game machines of general households via the Internet, a substitute game called a token (ie, “game medium”) is used to make a revolving game. A simulation game is being simulated.

  For example, in the above-described normal game of a spinning-reel game machine, when a player operates a start lever after inserting a predetermined number of game medals (game media or tokens), a bonus, a plurality of small roles, or a replay is performed at that timing. Perform an internal lottery (or “internal lottery”) for a combination (replay) and rotate multiple drums (mostly three or four reel drums) from top to bottom to While starting a variable display game that fluctuates a plurality of symbols displayed (drawn) on the trunk (usually, the plurality of symbols are drawn on a reel tape and pasted on each drum), When the player operates the stop button corresponding to each drum, and the symbols such as bells, watermelons, cherries, etc., which are won internally, are displayed on the active line in a predetermined combination, a prize is awarded. degree When the game medals are paid out, if the replay symbol is displayed on the active line and the replay (re-game) is activated, the game medals will not be inserted (or the number of games inserted in the previous game will be inserted as it is) next time. It becomes a re-playing state where the normal game can be performed.

  In particular, when a big bonus is won internally as a result of the internal lottery of normal games, and a specific symbol (for example, a red 7 symbol or a blue 7 symbol) is stopped and displayed on the active line by a reel drum stop operation. In addition, a large bonus game mode (BB game mode: an accessory continuous operation device), which is the most advantageous game mode for the player, is entered, and a large number 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 other words, the upper limit on the number of payouts and the increase rate of medals in a single bonus game are limited to a low level due to the rule revision.

  In addition, the bonus stock function for continuously releasing bonuses (continuous change), which should be said to be the biggest feature of the conventional swivel-type game machine (No. 4), is also prohibited by the same rule. The device and preference given to the machine itself are lost, and naturally, the gameability and gambling are extremely reduced, and the player (slotter) who has been a good customer is moving away.

  However, even in such a strict regulatory situation, some deregulation has been made, and as a result of this, a new device was developed, and as a result, a slot machine equipped with an ART function (assist replay time function) was developed. . This ART function is a symbol stop operation procedure (the operation sequence of the stop switch and the operation timing for aiming the color of the bonus symbol) for winning the internal winning small role in the high probability replay state where replay is easy to win. ) With a liquid crystal display and voice, and is a function to assist (assist), and is currently the mainstream of the No. 5 slot machine.

  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 is won, the player is notified of the correct operation procedure, and the number of medals obtained is differentiated. Furthermore, since a large number of medals can be obtained without reducing the hand-held medals during RT, it is possible to create a wave of balls and improve gambling.

  In addition, as the applicant's original technology, a bonus with a small number of payouts is frequently won, and the operation procedure and timing of the stop button are notified during AT, thereby releasing the bonus and acquiring a large number of medals. (Patent No. 4679654, Patent No. 4597249, Patent No. 4600944: Called pseudo-probability or neostock).

  However, in this pseudo-probability change technology, when a bonus combination is elected alone, the bonus symbols are automatically arranged regardless of the stop operation. I won to win the bonus role.

  In addition, even if the bonus combination has already been won and the bonus flag is set, if the replay is won at the same time by random lottery, the replay symbol will be drawn preferentially and the replay will always win, so the bonus combination cannot be won. .

  In other words, since the area that should be lost is the winning area for one small role, the lost area is small, and the RT state that is preferable for the player becomes a non-continuous state where the bonus combination cannot be released.

  The present invention firstly conveys to the player the number of times the AT state (assist function is activated) and gives the player a sense of expectation that the number of AT games or AT sets can be obtained by himself. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine or the like capable of stimulating the game.

  Furthermore, the present invention fuses 2 types BB and ART technology, and the probability that specific symbols (for example, bonus symbol, white 7 symbol, red 7 symbol, black bar symbol) are aligned in 2 types BB according to the gaming state. In other words, it is to provide a gaming machine or the like that can give a stimulus to a player.

  In addition, the present invention changes the probability that a design symbol (for example, a bonus symbol, a white symbol, a red symbol, a black bar symbol) is arranged in the type 1 BB or the type 2 BB according to the game state. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine or the like capable of stimulating the game.

  It is another object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine or the like capable of maximizing the number of net increase per game by merging ART technology and pseudo-probability change technology. And it is providing the game machine etc. which a player can continue a game with a sense of expectation, even if ART does not win to the ceiling. Another object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine or the like that can give excitement and excitement intensely by allowing the player to continue the ART by himself after the end of the ART.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine or the like capable of reducing the aggression by irregular pressing by effectively giving a penalty when an operation other than forward pressing is performed in order to achieve these objects. .

Then, if the answer is correct up to the second stop operation, the AT technique will be reduced by the AT technology, or the strategy will be reduced, or the red 7 symbol etc. It is intended to provide a technical machine or the like that displays the effect symbols in a straight line on the display window and performs intense heating effects using the effect symbols during the freeze state.

  In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 performs lottery drawing in a variable display game in which a plurality of symbol sequences on which a plurality of symbols are drawn varies, and a plurality of symbol sequences When a stop switch provided corresponding to is operated, the corresponding symbol sequence is stopped, and in the gaming machine in which a winning occurs according to the display result of the symbols derived when all the symbol sequences are stopped, A role lottery means for lottery in a variable display game, a notification means for notifying an operation order of a stop switch corresponding to a winning combination internally won by lottery of the role lottery means, and a stop switch in an operation order notified by the notification means Is operated, a stop control means for stopping a plurality of symbol strings and winning the winning combination, an enabling means for enabling operation of an operation switch when a start condition of the continuous hit game is satisfied, operation An extra lottery means for executing the lottery of the extra number using one extra lottery table from a plurality of extra lottery tables with different expected values of the extra number obtained by one operation of the switch, and an extra lottery means The addition means for adding the number of extras selected by the player to the remaining number of assists, the continuous lottery means for executing the continuous lottery of the continuous hitting game by using one loop rate among a plurality of different loop rates, A predetermined condition determining means for determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied; and a control means for controlling the continuation or end of the continuous hitting game. When the enabling means enables the operation switch, Based on the operated timing, each time the operation switch is operated, the extra lottery means executes a lottery for the number of extra games, and the continuous lottery means continuously hits. When the control means loses the continuous lottery, the control means ends the continuous hitting game, and the notifying means changes the operation sequence of the stop switch based on the new assist number added by the adding means. On the other hand, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the continuous hitting game is continued, the extra lottery means executes the lottery of the extra number using another extra lottery table, and the continuous lottery means uses another loop rate. A game machine characterized in that a continuous lottery of a continuous hitting game is executed.

  The gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 2 is a stop switch provided in correspondence with a plurality of symbol rows by performing a lottery of a role in a variable display game in which a symbol row on which a plurality of symbols are drawn is varied by a plurality of rows. Is operated, the corresponding symbol sequence is stopped, and in the game machine in which a prize is generated according to the display result of the symbol derived when all the symbol sequences are stopped, the lottery is performed in the variable display game. When the stop switch is operated in the operation order notified by the notification means, the notification means for notifying the operation order of the stop switch corresponding to the winning combination that was won internally by the lottery means lottery, and a plurality of symbols Stop control means for stopping the line and winning the winning combination, enabling means for enabling operation of the operation switch when the start condition of the continuous hit game is satisfied, and single operation of the operation switch in the continuous hit game The additional lottery means for executing the lottery of the additional number using the one additional lottery table from among a plurality of additional number lottery tables with different expected values of the additional number to be obtained, and the additional number that the additional lottery means lottery remains Addition means for adding to the number of assists to be performed, continuous lottery means for performing continuous lottery of lottery games using one loop rate among a plurality of different loop rates, and that a predetermined condition is satisfied during the continuous hit game Based on the timing when the operation switch is operated when the enabling means is enabled to operate the operation switch. Each time the operation switch is operated, the extra lottery means executes a lottery for the number of extra games, and the continuous lottery means executes a continuous lottery of the consecutive hit game. In both cases, the control means loses the continuous lottery, and when the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the continuous hitting game is terminated, and the notifying means operates the stop switch operation sequence based on the new assist number added by the adding means. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the continuous hitting game is continued, the extra lottery means executes the extra lottery using the other extra lottery table, and the continuous lottery means sets the other loop rate. A continuous lottery of a continuous hit game is executed.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, since the continuous lottery and the additional assist game number are drawn at the timing when the special button 14 is pressed, the player feels excitement and excitement by acquiring the assist game number by himself.

  Furthermore, there are the following effects. According to the gaming machine of the present invention, when the switch selected by the player is correct, a privilege such as ART is given, so that the player feels impressed with the excitement obtained by himself.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, the player can accurately obtain the number of times of entering the ART state from the data counter.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, the probability that the design symbols are aligned changes according to the gaming state, and when the design symbols are aligned, the number of AT games or the number of AT sets is given by lottery. I can feel the excitement and create a big wave.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, since a privilege such as ART is given according to the number of times that the symbol row (reel drum) that fluctuates first is applied, the player is excited and impressed by the fact that he / she has acquired it by himself / herself. Remember.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, the probability that a specific symbol (for example, red seven symbols) is aligned in a bonus game changes according to the gaming state (normal replay state or AT replay state) in which BB1 is internally won. Therefore, the player longs for BB1 to win in the maximum ART state (RT5), and when he actually wins, he can feel very hot.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, when a cherry role (AT ceiling count small role) wins in a bonus game instead of a conventional simple digest game number ceiling, a lottery is performed to determine an AT ceiling point, and a high score is obtained. In such a case, since the ceiling is reached at once, the player can always continue the game with a sense of expectation. In addition, because the scoring rate is different due to the two types of cherries, the player's sense of power increases. Also, a bonus image is won during ART, and the cherry image or the number of cherries won is displayed on the display device for the amount of winning the cherry role (AT continuous lottery small role) in the bonus game. Since the continuous lottery result is notified every game, the player feels excitement and excitement.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, a bonus image is won during ART, and the cherry image or the number of cherry winnings is displayed on the display device for the amount of winning the cherry role (AT continuous lottery small role) in the bonus game. After the number of continuous games is over, the screen is switched to the judge screen and the continuous lottery result is notified for each game, so the player feels excitement and excitement.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, when the first replay combination is won internally during the bonus game in the AT replay state, only a predetermined amount or less of game media is paid out, so that the next bonus game can be performed. On the other hand, in the normal replay state, even if the second replay combination is won internally, game media exceeding a predetermined amount is paid out, so that a bonus game can be performed only once. As a result, the acquired number can be increased in the AT replay state, and conversely, the acquired number can be decreased in the normal replay state.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, in the case of the AT pressing part of the double pressing order type, the expected number of irregular pressing (other than forward pressing or scissor pressing) can be kept low even if the correct pressing order is 4 choices. Because it can, you can prevent capture by irregular pushing. Further, the expected number of forward presses or scissors presses can be reduced to 1 or less, and the proportion of unrestricted press order can be increased. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the symbol arrangement is increased and the production can be easily performed.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, in the variable display game with no bonus inside, the replay role operates with the highest priority. Not only does the number of medals not decrease, but also in the AT replay state, the two-pressing order type AT small part is elected and the pressing order is notified, so that the net increase per game can be greatly increased. Also, since the bonus combination is always won in the AT replay state and the bonus combination always operates without being missed in the variable display game, the bonus combination can be released frequently and continuously.

  And even if the replay role is won in the variable display game after the bonus role is activated, the small role can be won, so not only can the player get a medal, but also after the bonus game ends Can maintain the AT replay state.

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. In addition, as the “replay role” in the claims, a plurality of replay roles 1 to n can be simultaneously won, and any one of the replay roles has the highest priority (from the bonus role or the small role). (Also preferentially).

“Activation” is a word including a state in which a combination of symbols relating to replaying or a symbol relating to a continuous action device is displayed on an active line, and is synonymous with “winning” in a small role. .
Basic example:
As an example of the gaming machine or the like according to the present invention, a rotating type gaming machine is taken up, and this example explains in detail the basic configuration and basic operation of the rotating type gaming machine.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a swivel-type gaming machine ((A) is an overall view, (B) is an upper front view), FIG. 2 is a right side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a design panel.

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

  The front door 1b is a main part that should also be called the face of a swivel-type game machine, and a unique metallic feeling is required for the creation of a high-class feeling and the demand for design, ordinary chrome plating, dark chrome plating, hard By adding gold plating, metalizing (plating), satin tone (plating), etc. to the resin material, the appearance is gorgeous and profound.

  A transparent panel 21 is fitted on the front surface of the front door 1b. A design panel 22 is attached to the front door 1b inside the transparent panel 21.

  The design panel 22 has an upper surface portion 22a to which a display effect device 11 (or a video display device) that performs various effects according to the game situation is fixed with screws, and an inner surface portion on which a window portion 3 (design display window) is formed. 22b and the lower surface portion 22c to which the light emitting display device (display LED block 4) is attached form a bottom surface portion 22d bent inward of the housing 1a, and a left side surface portion 22e and a right side surface portion 22f that connect the left and right of the bottom surface portion 22d. As a result, a substantially box-shaped space is formed (in particular, see FIG. 3).

  On the bottom surface portion 22d, there are three-dimensionally projected decorations 23 or three-dimensional electric driving objects 24 driven in accordance with the progress of the game (for example, in relation to an internal winning combination in order to give a sense of expectation).

  FIG. 5 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. Note that the sub-block notifies the stop operation procedure (the operation order and operation timing of the stop button unit 10) of avoiding the small role winning or the falling replay when the ART is activated.

Reference numeral 100 denotes a main control unit, which is an integrated one-chip microcomputer (for example, LE4280B-PA-G1 manufactured by EL Tech Co.) equipped with a microprocessor with a built-in CPU. ROM 101 for storing a control program describing a control procedure, and RAM 102 (RWM: also referred to as rewritable memory, which is formed with a counter, a register, etc. and temporarily stores information necessary for control. Are also included). As will be described later, even if the power switch 28c is turned off or the power cord is disconnected, the RAM 102 retains all the control data stored by the RAM backup power source that is always supplied via the power connector. However, when the power connector itself is removed, power is not supplied, so the control data is erased (all cleared or reset to 0) or meaningless information.

  The main control unit 100 includes a start SW sensor 110 (start switch sensor 110), a stop button sensor 120, a medal detection sensor 130, and a bet button sensor 140 via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus. The stage setting unit 150 and the stop setting unit 180 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 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 centralized terminal board 170, but does not receive any information from the external centralized terminal board 170. . Signals output from the main control unit 100 to the outside are a medal insertion signal, a medal payout signal, an external output signal 1 (for example, BB signal), an external output signal 2 (for example, RB signal), and an external output signal 3 (for example, ART). Signal), an external output signal 4 (for example, a signal indicating that various errors have occurred), an external output signal 5 (for example, a goto action detection signal), and a relay common signal. In particular, the BB signal and the RB signal are not only collected and managed by the hall computer as an assist bonus combination (referred to as a “third bonus combination”) that is a bonus combination, and the ART signal is a special combination. It is also output to a data counter installed near the upper part, and is used to display the main information of the pachislot game (game count, BB count, ART count, appearance information) to the player.

  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 the random lottery, when any of the paying small roles such as bell, cherry, watermelon or plum is won internally, and the player performs the stop operation of the stop button unit 10, the main control unit 100 follows the operation order. The drum unit 2 is sequentially stopped at a predetermined position. As a result, if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on any of the five active lines of 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 / decreases as appropriate according to design specifications and gaming conditions.

  For example, assuming that the number of game media payouts specified according to the type of winning is 1 bell, 2 cherries, 5 watermelons and 8 plums, only the bell symbol is displayed side by side on the second line. Then, the main control unit 100 pays out one piece as a bell prize. If the specified number of throws is three, even if the bell wins, the deduction will be minus two. Therefore, in the state where the bonus combination and the small combination are simultaneously elected internally, priority is given to the small combination symbol in the internal election. Even if it is stopped on the active line, medals can be consumed. On the other hand, if the bell symbol is displayed side by side on the second line and the plum symbol is displayed on the third line, the main control unit 100 pays out a total of nine bells for one winning bell and eight plums. 6 plus dividends.

  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. 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. Especially in the bonus game, a specially arranged BGM is provided according to the production scene 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.

  The sub-control unit 160 has a display effect device 11, a speaker unit 12, a gaming state display LED unit 13, an input SW unit 25 (input switch unit 25), via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus. The timer unit 26, the operation direction sensor 111, the special button sensor 112, and the door abnormality signal output device 113 are connected, and the sub-control unit 160 receives input signals from these devices and outputs necessary data and signals. Various controls can be performed.

  The sub-control unit 160, based on the inserted number data, the paid-out number data, and the variable display game number data in the control data transmitted from the main control unit 100, the difference display number after initialization and the variable display game digested after the bonus The number of times is counted. When the counted difference number or number of times reaches a predetermined number, an AT stock lottery or a selection game is activated. At this time, the sub-control unit 160 displays on the display effect device 11 "Do you want to start the selected game? If you want to start, please hit the special button repeatedly."

  This AT stock lottery draws the number of stocks in a range of, for example, 0 to 127, 0 is lost, and 1 to 127 is won. If 127 is won, a minimum of 127 consecutive chunks will be determined. However, since AT stock lottery is executed even when AT is stocked, it can be further added and stored up to MAX10000. However, these are merely examples based on design specifications, and are not limited to these numerical values.

  Further, the sub-control unit 160 confirms whether or not to execute the selected game, and when the player hits the special button repeatedly, receives a pulse signal corresponding to the number of repeated hits, and the number of pulses is a predetermined number of 8 times or more. When the number is reached, a selection game lottery is performed to determine a winning number (for example, “0” or “1”). When the selected game is activated, “O or X” or “Left or Right” or the like is displayed on the display effect device 11 corresponding to the left stop button 10a and the right stop button 10c, respectively, and the selection operation is performed to the player. Prompt. For example, when “0” is won in the selected game lottery result, if the player operates the left stop button 10a and selects the corresponding “O” or “Left”, the selected game is won. Then, when the sub-control unit 160 determines that the winning is made, in the subsequent variable display game, until the number of game media increases according to the inserted number, the difference number, or the number of variable display games, or the AT stock lottery (1 to 127). The AT function (a function for notifying auxiliary information by the notification means) is activated for the number of times selected in the (number).

On the other hand, if the player operates the right stop button 10c and selects the corresponding “X” or “Right”, the selected game is lost. If the sub-control unit 160 determines that it is a loss, the sub-control unit 160 initializes the difference number or the number of variable display games without activating the AT function, and returns to the start. As a result, even if the player is in a humiliated state, if he / she wins in the selected game, he / she can recover more than he has ever lost, or can dare to change, and can expect a one-time reversal. In the above, the two choices are doubled by winning, but if there are five choices, it is possible to return five times when winning, and if the player can select the magnification, the preference is further increased. Increase.

  In response to the start operation of the start lever 9, the sub-control unit 160 executes random number lottery internally, and receives a lottery, replay, small game, or lose result notification, and the lottery result is sent to the player. Before the notification is made, an effect lottery is performed as to whether or not to produce an effect on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. 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 the plurality of effect images stored in the ROM 161 and outputs the selected effect image to the display effect device 11.

  In particular, as will be described later, the sub-control unit 160 has an AT stock, and when a push order small combination (a plurality of first small combinations and a 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.

  Here, returning to FIG. 5, the operation direction sensor 111 outputs a direction signal corresponding to the up / down / left / right directions in which the start lever 9 is operated, and the sub-control unit 160 receives the direction signal, and responds to the direction signal. Various video effects and winning notifications are displayed on the display effect device 11 and sound effects are generated from the speaker unit 12.

  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. Furthermore, sound effects such as bomb dropping and machine gun operation are generated from the speaker unit 12.

  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 in response to an operation of the 1 bet button 7, and a max bet button detection sensor 140b that outputs a pulse signal in response to an operation of the max bet button 8. It is composed of two and is separately connected to two ports of the main control unit 100 (not shown in detail). The main control unit 100
The number display of the input number LED 4a is controlled so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signal.

  Further, when the player operates the start lever 9 after inserting a predetermined number of medals, the start SW sensor 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 100 performs random number lottery or the like in response to reception of the start signal. A variation 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, or a second-type special combination continuous operation.

  Then, when the stop buttons 10a, 10b, and 10c are operated during the variable display game, the main control unit 100 stops the rotation of the rotating drum and establishes a predetermined winning combination (the symbols of each rotating drum are predetermined). When the medals are paid out when displayed in a predetermined combination, the payout number is displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and this is added to the number of credits and the medal. The stored number is displayed on the LED 4b. 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, the hall side determines the stage value according to the collection status for a large amount of medals released at the event or new opening and improvement of profits. A desired set value can be selected from 1 to 6 (or jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.).

  Reference numeral 180 denotes a stop setting unit, and if it is on (or “1”), after the bonus game is over, the total of medals displayed on the inserted number LED 4a and the medal stored number display LED 4b is forcibly paid out and changed. The operation for performing the display game is disabled (stopped), and a warning sound is generated from the speaker unit 12. Recently, there are many slot machines not provided with the stop setting unit 180.

  Reference numeral 25 denotes an input SW unit (input switch unit) for inputting various data. For example, a warning mode is set when a stage setting operation of the payout rate is performed, or a time period during which a warning is generated or not generated. Set up. The warning mode includes three modes: an on state or an off state of a warning generation function, and a timer state in which a warning is generated only during a set time period. The input SW unit 25 includes an initialization switch for initializing the sub-block and a volume switch used for switching the volume of the speaker unit 12, and functions when both are pressed simultaneously. ing.

  Reference numeral 26 denotes a time measuring unit including a radio clock that receives absolute time data from a satellite or the like and keeps accurate time, and continues to output the time measured to the sub-control unit 160.

  FIG. 6 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 the three phases at the same time, a suction force is generated and suddenly stops.

  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. The position of can be accurately grasped. 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. 7 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 belt 32a, a middle swirl belt 32b, and a right swirl belt 32c on which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn are attached to the outer peripheral portion of each drum. Is established (winning or operating) if the predetermined symbols are displayed on the window 3 along the active line. 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 symbol 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. 8 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 swirl belt has 21 differently arranged symbols. Big bonus symbols such as “Red 7” and “Blue 7” that act as bonuses, and various small part winning symbol cherry A watermelon, bell, and replay with replays are depicted. It should be noted that the discarded symbols do not constitute any role even when stopped on the active line, and for example, “N” is printed in a light gray circle in order to make the player inconspicuous.

  FIG. 9 is a structural block diagram of the drum unit, and FIGS. 9A and 9B 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 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 has been won internally, 4 frames above this effective line When the symbol “7” is located within (ie, within five frames including the symbol on the active line), when the right stop button 10c is stopped (see FIG. 9A), The control unit 100 performs pull-in control for forcibly drawing the symbol “7” onto the active line and aligning it so as to be a combination of “7, 7, 7” (see FIG. 9B).

  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 performs stop control with reference to a stop table that defines the stop position of each drum in accordance with a random number lottery situation (internal winning or loss).

  In the example of FIG. 9, in the reach state, the symbol “7” of the right drum 2 c is just 4 frames above and is lined up on the effective line as a target of the 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) is notified.

  FIG. 10 is a configuration block diagram of the drum unit, and FIGS. 10A and 10B show the state in which the right drum 2c is controlled to avoid (or kick 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 located 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 losing the symbol “7” by moving the symbol “7” one step ahead so that “7, 7, 7” is not aligned on the active line ( (See FIG. 10B). This avoidance control is performed not only for the right drum 2c but also for any of the symbols of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b, and the avoidance control is performed so that an unsuccessful small role symbol does not win. It is like that. These pull-in control and avoidance control (kick-off control) are performed by the main control unit 100 referring to a stop table according to the internal winning situation or by control control by a program.

  FIG. 11 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. 11A shows index signals output from the respective drum sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c, and the main control is performed so that T1 becomes constant at 0.751 seconds (that is, 79.9 revolutions / minute). Controlled by the unit 100.

  FIG. 11B shows the symbol position data of the rotating drum, and FIG. 11C 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. 11D 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. 12 is a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a included in the drum portion.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, the left drum 2a rotates in the direction of the arrow (from the top to the 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 is stopped, a prize is awarded and a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. FIG. 12A 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. 12 (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.

  On the other hand, FIGS. 12 (C) and 12 (D) show the range in which avoidance control or the like is performed, and the main control unit 100 has the cherry symbol 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 higher than 4 in FIG. 12A) or a position slightly past the upper position, the position of the upper position or the lower position is increased. 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. 13 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the left drum 2a, the window 3 and the symbol position data.

  As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the cherry symbols on the left drum 2a are frame number 8 and frame number 19 (see FIG. 8). When the lowermost position of the unit 3 is used as a measurement reference, the main control unit 100 reads the symbol position data “15” and the input pulse phase data “0” to the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data “23” or the symbol. When the stop button 10a is operated in the range of the position data “5” and the input pulse phase data “0” to the symbol position data “1” and the input pulse phase data “23”, the cherry symbol is stopped at the upper stage and a winning is made. . 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. 14 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on an effective line corresponding to the number of inserted game medals. 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 one that has been conventionally employed, and there are many irregular lines as described later.

  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, game media with the number of payouts defined according to the type of winning is paid out in total for the winning amount, but the maximum payout at one time is 15.

  FIG. 15 is a configuration block diagram of the display effect device.

  The display effect device 11 includes a command receiving unit 11a that receives an effect command from the sub-control unit 160, a display effect control unit 11b (including a ROM 11c and a RAM 11d), and a display panel 11e such as an LCD, an organic EL, or an LED. Yes. In this case, 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. 16 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.

  17 to 19 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 the “daytime effect pattern of the low-probability stage mainly indicating a state where there is no AT stock or a state where AT is difficult to win. “0” is displayed (see FIG. 17A). On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ Y0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e displays the “nighttime” of the high-probability stage that suggests a state where there is AT stock or a high-probability state in which AT is easy to win. The “effect pattern 0” is displayed (see FIG. 17B). Therefore, the player is anxious to display a “night stage” that mainly suggests a high probability state during the game. However, it is also possible to display a “night stage” when there is no AT stock or a non-high probability state, or display a “day stage” when there is a reverse AT stock or a high probability state. is there.

  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. 17 (A)) or overlaid on the background screen of moonlight night (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. 17C).

  When the effect of FIG. 17 (B) is developed in multiple stages, it is a sign effect (a fierce hot effect) where there is an AT stock and the expectation of AT release is great. For example, FIG. 18A shows a state in which “Dracula Castle” is enlarged and the iron gate is opened. Then, the door further expands (see FIG. 18B), gradually opens (see FIG. 18C), and the interior of the dazzling “Dracula Castle” is displayed (see FIG. 18D). After that, it develops into a battle between the protagonist and the count of vampires Dracula. If the protagonist wins, there is AT stock, AT release is confirmed, and bonus release is confirmed during bonus internal election.

  From the state where the normal screen of the night of FIG. 19A (same as FIG. 17B) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the right, the cemetery is expanded, and the character butler screams “Olya”. Along with the sound effect “Tiroro Lolone”, the character of the hero appears from the grave hole in the center of the screen (see FIG. 19 (B)), or the characters “BONUS” meaning “big hit” are displayed ( (See FIG. 19C). All of these display effects are also executed by the sub-control unit 160 outputting an effect command according to the program.

  FIG. 20 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 at random from 0 to 65535 (m7) in a cycle, and always at random once in one cycle. FIG. 20A is a lottery table used in a normal state (non-RT state). When the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery in accordance with the timing at which the start lever 9 is operated, If it is in the range of 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 1/200 and the RB winning probability is 1/400. 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.

  On the other hand, FIG. 20B is a lottery table used in the high-probability replaying state (RT state). In the replay time, the winning range for replay is widened by α, whereas 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.

  FIG. 21 is a payout table showing the relationship between the combination of symbols and the number of acquired medals.

  BB (Big Bonus) is the title when the BB symbol of “Red 7” is aligned on the active line, and when it is aligned, the number of medals won is 0, and the Big Bonus with flag 1 set in the corresponding flag area The game enters the game (BB game: operation of the accessory continuous operation device) and ends with the payout of 360 sheets.

  RB (Regular Bonus) is the title when the RB symbol of “Blue 7” is aligned on the active line, and when it is aligned, the number of medals won is 0, and the regular bonus is set with flag 1 in the corresponding flag area The game enters the game (RB game: the operation of the accessory continuous operation device) and ends with the payout of 120 cards. 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.

  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 symbols are aligned on the active line, the replay in which no medal is acquired is activated, the flag 1 is set in the flag area, and the replay operation is performed by operating the player's start lever 9 to lower the flag (ie, 0). That is, the next game can be played without inserting medals.

  Next, the operation of the swivel type gaming machine configured as described above will be described in detail 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 is “ON”, the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) is “OFF”, and the step setting value is the lowest “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 game-ready state, even if the game hall side opens the front door 1b again and operates the input SW unit 25 (operation for simultaneously pressing the initialization switch and the volume switch), the sub-control unit 160 Since control data indicating the stage setting mode of the payout rate has not been received, the warning mode is not changed from the “on state” to another state (“off state” or “timer state”). Therefore, there is a specific effect that Goto and the like cannot easily change the warning mode. The stop setting flag “1” corresponds to “on” for the stop setting unit 180 and “off” for “0”.

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

  FIG. 22 is a flow chart showing the main operation processing procedure of the spinning cylinder type game machine.

  An employee of the game 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. 4). 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 performs step S13.
On the other hand, if it is ON, if it is in the ON state, a setting change subroutine is called 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 stage setting value “6” of the payout rate is input, the start lever 9 is hit once to set the setting value, and the setting key switch 28a is pressed. In the OFF state, 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.

  In addition, when the main control unit 100 outputs control data to the sub-control unit 160 in order to perform initial screen display setting in step S100, the sub-control unit 160 displays ($ Y0 $ 01) as an effect command, for example. It transmits to the production 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 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.

  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 the game is started, the process proceeds to step S170 and is started. 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 description of FIG. 20).

  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 not aligning the symbols. 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 hit (bonus win), small role, replay or lose.

  The main control unit 100 determines that a winning combination is established if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on the active line of the window 3 in each variation display game of the general game, and a game medal is awarded according to the payout table shown in FIG. It pays out from the payout device 18 and is discharged from the medal payout opening 16.

  Note that in the big bonus game (BB game) in which three red 7s are arranged, the BB game mode is ended when the accessory continuous operation device operates and the acquired number exceeds 360. In addition, in the regular bonus game (RB game) in which three blue 7s are arranged, the RB game mode is ended when the accessory continuous operation device operates 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.

  In the first embodiment, during the normal game and RT (replay time), the second type BB with a relatively small number of balls is frequently won, and the AT (assist time) function is used to win the push order. Is related to a basic technology (referred to as NS-ART technology, NS means Neo Stock) that greatly improves the net increase per game. Note that the push order small combination, push order replay, and AT lottery will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 23 to 99, but can be used in this NS-ART technology.

  FIG. 100 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.

  Each swirl belt has 20 symbols in a different arrangement, and the symbols (red 7), “black bar”, “flowers” that act as bonuses (second type BB: the continuous action device for the accessory) are drawn. ”,“ Red Bell ”,“ Blue Bell ”,“ Yellow Bell ”,“ Green Bell ”,“ Cherry ”,“ Watermelon ”, and“ Replay ”in which replays are activated.

  FIG. 101 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of game medals inserted.

  FIG. 101 (B) is an effective line when a prescribed number of game medals are inserted, and in order of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c, the first line (middle stage, middle stage, middle stage: center horizontal line) ) Only during normal operation and when the bonus (type 2 BB) is activated.

  FIG. 102 is a payout table at the normal time and at the time of bonus operation.

  When all three reels (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. 101).

(1) Bonus 1 (Type 2 consecutive action device): Left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (red 7), right drum 2c (red 7) are aligned on the active line and stopped. Then, the acquired number is 0, and bonus 1 (BB1) is subsequently given (actuated). This bonus 1 ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/1000, the specified number of games inserted in the bonus 1 is 1, and the number of payouts exceeds 14. When the bonus 1 is won internally by the lottery and the bonus 1 flag is set, the bonus 1 can be established. When bonus 1 is won internally, the replay winning probability in the subsequent game is increased to 1 / 1.5, and after the bonus game in which bonus 1 is activated, the initial replay state (replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3). Return to). When Bonus 1 is won, the ART is finalized (release role).

  (2) Bonus 2 (Type 2 continuous action device): Left drum 2a (red bell / blue bell / yellow bell / green bell), middle drum 2b (red 7 / black bar / flower) If any one of (Red Bell / Blue Bell / Yellow Bell / Green Bell) or any of 48 types are aligned on the active line and stopped on the right drum 2c, the number obtained is 0 and bonus 2 thereafter. (BB2) is given. This bonus 2 ends when, for example, the winning probability is about 1/10, the prescribed number of games inserted in the bonus 2 is 1, and the number of payouts exceeds 14. When the bonus 2 is won in the lottery and the bonus 2 flag is set, the bonus 2 can be established.

  Bonus 2 is a variable display game in which the bonus combination is not won internally, and is won internally by a lottery. 2 It draws on the effective line at 100% and always works. In other words, if Bonus 2 is elected alone, it will not be missed. The reason is that if it is missed during ART, replay will be prioritized and it will be difficult to activate Bonus 2. It is. However, if the bonus 2 is won at the same time as the replay combination or the small combination, it can be considered that the bonus 2 is missed, but even if it is implemented in this way, it belongs to the technical scope of the present invention.

  (3) Color bells (Bell 1 to Bell 64): The titles when 64 types of bell symbols (red bell / blue bell / yellow bell / green bell) are aligned on the effective line on each drum, The number obtained is 14 pieces. When a bell is won in the lottery, 64 condition devices of bell 1 to bell 64 are activated or one condition device of color bell is activated, and any one of 64 types of bell symbols is displayed on the active line. Is done. When this color bell is won, regardless of the stop operation sequence or timing of the stop button unit 10, any bell symbol stops on the active line and a winning is always made. In addition, in the case of an AT small part to be described later, four condition devices from among the bells 1 to 64 are set up in accordance with the pressing order.

  (4) Watermelon (FR2): This is a title when watermelon symbols are aligned on the effective line for each drum, and the number obtained is 14. When a watermelon is won internally by lottery, one FR2 condition device is activated. When a watermelon is won alone, the watermelon symbol stops on the active line regardless of the stop operation sequence of the stop button unit 10 and a prize is always awarded.

  (5) 14 cherries (FR3): When all symbols (ANY) on the left drum 2a (other than cherry or replay), all symbols (ANY) on the middle drum 2b, and (cherry) on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line, 14 sheets. When bonus button 1 or bonus 2 is in operation, pressing stop button 10 in sequence (left stop button 10a → intermediate stop button 10b → right stop button 10c or left stop button 10a → right stop button 10c → intermediate stop button 10b) results in 14 A piece of cherry won.

  (6) 15 cherries (FR4): When the left drum 2a (cherry or replay), all the symbols (ANY) on the middle drum 2b, and (cherry) on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line, the number of acquisitions is 15 It becomes a sheet. If the stop button 10 is irregularly pressed while the bonus 1 or bonus 2 is in operation (operation other than the above-described forward pressing), 15 cherries are won.

  (7) Normal replay (replay 1): This is the title when replay symbols are aligned on the active line for each drum, and no medal is earned for this, but the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts Therefore, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When the normal replay is independently won by random lottery, the RP1 flag is set in the flag area and the replay symbol is always displayed. Even if replay 1 is activated, the replay probability does not change.

  (8) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): left drum 2a (replay), middle drum 2b (red 7 / black bar / flower), right drum 2c (watermelon), 3 types of effective lines This is the name of the role in the case of being aligned, and medals will not be acquired for this, but since the medals are automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player Can do. When the RT2 transition replay is independently won in the random lottery, the RP2 flag is set in the flag area, and this replay symbol is always displayed. When replay 2 is activated, the replay probability changes to the RT2 state.

  (9) RT3 transition replay (replay 3): the title when the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (replay), and the right drum 2c (watermelon) are aligned on the active line. On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but since the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When the RT3 transition replay is independently won by random number lottery, the RP3 flag is set in the flag area, and this replay symbol is always displayed. When the replay 3 is activated, the replay probability is changed to the RT3 state.

  (10) RT4 transition replay (replay 4): either (watermelon) on the left drum 2a, (red 7 / black bar / flower) on the middle drum 2b, or (watermelon) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line In this case, no medal is acquired, but since the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts, the player can play the next game by operating the start lever 9. When the RT4 transition replay is independently won in random lottery, the RP4 flag is set in the flag area, and this replay symbol is always displayed. When the replay 4 is activated, the replay probability is changed and locked to the RT4 state for a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games). In this RT4 state, RT2 transition replay and RT3 transition replay are not drawn.

  (11) Single piece 1 (FR1-1): either (watermelon) on the left drum 2a, (red 7 / black bar / flower) on the middle drum 2b, (red 7 / black bar / flower) on the right drum 2c ) If any of the nine types are aligned on the active line and stopped, the single winning combination 1 wins.

  (12) Single-player role 2 (FR1-2): either left drum 2a (red 7 / black bar / flower), middle drum 2b (watermelon), right drum 2c (red 7 / black bar / flower) ) When any of the nine types are aligned on the active line and stopped, the single winning combination 2 wins.

  (13) Single play 3 (FR1-3): either left drum 2a (red 7 / black bar / flower), middle drum 2b (red 7 / black bar / flower), right drum 2c (watermelon) ) If any of the nine types are stopped on the active line, the single winning combination 3 wins.

  (14) Bells (1 to n) of a bell role: Special symbols (falling symbols) displayed on an effective line when a color bell role is missed by an AT small role to be described later, and any one special symbol is When displayed, the replay probability changes to the RT1 state (normal replay state with a replay winning probability of 1 / 7.3). In the initial replay state (probability that the replay is activated is approximately 1 / 7.3) after the setting change or after the end of the bonus game in which the bonus 1 is activated, even if a special symbol is displayed, the RT1 state is entered.

  FIG. 103 is a combination table of condition devices for AT small part (push order watermelon).

  The push order watermelon means that when the operation order of the stop button section 10 (the pressing order of the stop button section 10) is correct, the watermelon small part is always won, while when the answer is incorrect, the bell small part is won. Means a winning combination when winning a one-piece combination. According to the present invention, it can be said that this is an epoch-making technique that has not been achieved in the past in that a watermelon role can be won only after a correct answer to the second stop operation.

  Push order watermelon right 1 has the right push order of right stop button 10c → intermediate stop button 10b → left stop button 10a, and there are eight kinds of push order watermelon roles in the same correct order. This push order watermelon combination stores push order data (right-middle-left or 3-2-1).

  When the push order watermelon right 1 is elected and the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop, the main control unit 100 is on the effective line of the left drum 2a (red bell / blue bell / yellow) because the push order is incorrect. (Bell / green bell) is stopped. For example, when the red bell stops on the effective line, the probability that the red bell stops on the middle drum 2b is 1/4, and the probability that the red bell stops on the right drum 2c becomes 1/4, so 1/16 Only 14 probable matches are possible. Similarly, when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop, the main control unit 100 does not answer any of (red bell / blue bell / yellow bell / green bell) on the effective line of the middle drum 2b because the pushing order is incorrect. Or stop. For example, when the yellow bell stops on the effective line, the probability that the yellow bell stops on the left drum 2a is 1/4, and the probability that the red bell stops on the right drum 2c becomes 1/4. Only 14 probable matches are possible. In other words, when the push order watermelon is selected, Bell wins at 1/24 (2/3 × 1/16), and the Koboshi eyes that play the role of Bell are effective lines with a probability of 5/8 (2/3 × 15/16). Displayed above.

  On the other hand, when the push order watermelon right 1 is won and the right stop button 10c (correct answer push order) is operated in the first stop, the main control unit 100 stops the watermelon on the effective line of the right drum 2c. When the middle stop button 10b (the correct answer pressing order) is operated in the second stop thereafter, the main control unit 100 stops the watermelon on the active line of the middle drum 2b, and operates the left stop button 10a in the third stop. The left drum 2a is stopped with a watermelon, and a 14-piece watermelon small combination is awarded.

  However, when the left stop button 10a (incorrect pressing order) is operated in the second stop, the main control unit 100 stops any of (red 7 / black bar / flower) on the effective line of the left drum 2a. When the middle stop button 10b is operated in the third stop, any one of (red 7 / black bar / flower) is stopped on the middle drum 2b, and one small combination is awarded. In other words, when the push order watermelon is won, a watermelon small combination or a single small combination wins with a probability of 1/6 (1/3 × 1/2). During ART, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the correct answer pressing order by video or audio. However, the main control unit 100 may notify the operation order.

  The details of the above-mentioned AT small part will be described again with other expressions using FIG.

The AT small role is composed of a first small role whose purpose is to win a prize, and a second small role group and a third small role group whose purpose is to inhibit the winning of the first small role. In addition, when the AT small combination is elected internally by lottery, nine types of third small combinations constituting four types of second small combinations or third small combination groups constituting one type of first small combination and second small combination group. A winning combination (that is, 14 types of small roles) is in a state where a prize can be won, and according to the operation sequence and operation timing of the stop button unit 10, any one of the 14 types of small roles wins or the second It seems to miss the small role. The operation order of the stop button unit 10 for winning the first small combination is stored in the ROM 101 provided in the main control unit 100 in association with the internal winning AT small combination. Note that the correct operation sequence data (sequence data for drawing the first small part) is usually three sequence data (right-middle-left or 3) if the number of drums is three. 2-1), but since the last stop drum is inevitably determined, two sequential data (right-middle or 3-2) up to the first and second may be used. In other words, this operation order data can be said to be data for winning the first small combination when the stop button unit 10 is stopped for each column when the AT small combination is won.

  More specifically, when the AT small combination is won internally and the first stop operation of the stop button unit 10 is correct, the common symbols of the first small combination and the third small combination are stopped on the active line, Thereafter, when either the first small role or the third small role wins, and the first stop operation of the stop button portion 10 is incorrect, the second small role is determined according to the subsequent operation timing of the stop button portion 10. May win or miss. When the first stop operation of the stop button unit 10 is correct, the first small combination wins when the second stop operation is also correct, while the third small combination wins when the second stop operation is incorrect ( However, it can also be missed.) In the embodiment, the first small combination and the second small combination are described as 14 payouts with the same payout number, and the third small combination is described as 1 single payout. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  In the AT small combination right 1, the correct push order is the right stop button 10c → the middle stop button 10b → the left stop button 10a, and there are eight types of AT small combinations in the same correct order. This AT small combination stores push order data (right-middle-left or 3-2-1) together with combination data of eight types of small combinations that can be won. For the combination data of the small combinations, the combination of the small combinations may be determined by one flag, or 14 small combinations flags may be set at the same time. It can also be realized by combining them.

  When the AT small role right 1 wins internally and operates the left stop button 10a in the first stop, the main control unit 100 is within the number of frames that can be drawn on the effective line of the left drum 2a because the push order is incorrect. Any one of (red bell / blue bell / yellow bell / green bell) in (generally within 4 frames) is stopped. For example, when the red bell stops on the active line, the second small role group (red bell-red bell-red bell, yellow bell-yellow bell-red bell, green bell-green bell-red bell) for the purpose of hindering winning. , Blue bell-blue bell-red bell) is the only chance to win (red bell-red bell-red bell). If the operation timing for winning the remaining second small combination is not notified, the probability that the red bell will accidentally stop on the middle drum 2b by the subsequent stop button operation is 1/4, and the right drum 2c Since the probability of the red bell stopping is also ¼, the 14-piece combination is only available with a probability of 1/16.

  Similarly, when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop, the main control unit 100 is within the number of frames that can be drawn on the effective line of the middle drum 2b because the pushing order is incorrect (red bell / blue bell). / Yellow bell / green bell). For example, when the yellow bell stops on the active line, only the (yellow bell-yellow bell-red bell) is likely to win in the second small role group described above. When the stop button is operated thereafter, the probability that the yellow bell will accidentally stop on the left drum 2a is 1/4, and the probability that the red bell will stop on the right drum 2c is also 1/4, so the probability is 1/16. However, there will be only 14 roles. In other words, when the AT small role is elected, the second small role wins at 1/24 (2/3 × 1/16) and the probability of the second small role is 5/8 (2/3 × 15/16). The eyelet is displayed on the active line.

On the other hand, when the AT small role right 1 is elected and the right stop button 10c (correct answer pressing order) is operated in the first stop operation as indicated by the operation order data, the main control unit 100 moves on the effective line of the right drum 2c. The watermelon symbol of the common symbol constituting the first small role and the three third small roles is stopped. When the middle stop button 10b (pushing order of correct answers) is operated in the second stop thereafter, the main control unit 100 stops the watermelon symbol constituting the first small part on the effective line of the middle drum 2b, and the third stop. When the left stop button 10a is operated, the watermelon symbol is stopped on the left drum 2a and the first 14-sheet payout is made.
Win a small role (watermelon small role).

  However, when the left stop button 10a (incorrect pressing order) is operated in the second stop, the main control unit 100 configures the third small role group on the effective line of the left drum 2a (red 7 / black bar / When one of the “flowers” is stopped and the middle stop button 10b is operated in the third stop, the middle drum 2b is stopped (red 7 / black bar / flower) and the third small part (one small part) ). That is, when the AT small combination is won, the first small combination or the third small combination wins with a probability of 1/6 (1/3 × 1/2). During the ART, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the correct pressing order for winning the first small role by video or voice. However, the main control unit 100 may notify the operation order.

  FIG. 113 is an explanatory diagram of an AT winning combination of the two-pressing order type.

  The AT small role 1 is a first small role (watermelon role) whose purpose is to win a prize, and a plurality of types of second small roles (red) that constitute a second small role group whose purpose is to block the winning of the first small role. Bell-Red Bell-Red Bell, Yellow Bell-Yellow Bell-Red Bell, Green Bell-Green Bell-Red Bell, Blue Bell-Blue Bell-Red Bell), and the third purpose of inhibiting the winning of the first small role Multiple types of third small roles that make up the small role group (one of the left drum (red 7 / black bar / flower), one of the middle drum watermelon, one of the right drum (red 7 / black bar / flower) Nine types) can be awarded (see FIG. 113A).

  When starting the variable display game, the main control unit 100 causes one of a plurality of AT small roles to be won internally by lottery, and depending on the lottery result and the operation of the stop button unit 10, the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b Then, stop control of the drum unit 2 is performed so that the right drum 2c (a plurality of symbol rows) is stopped at a predetermined position. The ROM 101 stores the operation sequence of the stop switch as operation sequence data (in this case, middle → left → right or 2-1-3) in association with a plurality of lottery ATs. Further, the ROM 101 has 14 watermelon payouts (predetermined number) as the first small role, 14 color bell payouts as the second small role, and 1 to 1 1 role as the third small role. One payout of the combination 3 is stored.

  The main control unit 100 recognizes or confirms that the operation order of the internal winning AT small part is middle → left → right, and the first stop operation of the stop button part 10 is an operation for winning the first small part. When it is the order (that is, in the case of the middle stop button 10b), the watermelon symbol that is a common symbol of the first small role and the third small role is stopped on the active line. Next, when the second stop operation of the stop button unit 10 is an operation order for winning the first small combination (that is, in the case of the left stop button 10a), the main control unit 100 uses the first small combination symbol. A certain watermelon symbol is stopped on the active line to bring the first small role into a tempered state, and the first small role is awarded in the subsequent stop operation. On the other hand, when the second stop operation is an operation order that obstructs the first small combination (that is, the right stop button 10c), the main control unit 100 stops the third small combination symbol on the active line and stops the third small combination. Makes the role a temper. Then, the third small role is won by the subsequent stop operation.

  On the other hand, the main control unit 100 recognizes that the operation order won internally is middle → left → right, and the first stop operation of the stop button unit 10 is the operation order that obstructs the first small role. Frame (that is, in the case of the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c), a frame that can be drawn on the active line among the four types of second small symbols composed of red bell, yellow bell, green bell or blue bell. One second small role symbol within the number is stopped. For example, when the red bell symbol stops on the effective line of the right drum 2c, the second small role (red bell-red bell-red bell) is won in the subsequent stop operation, or the second small role is a stubby. The symbol is displayed on the active line.

The double push order type AT small part has a pull-in rate of 6.25% (1/16) because there are four types of color bell designs of the second small part, but the watermelon and third small part of the first small part One of the roles 1 to 1
The one-piece combination 3 is 100% (see FIG. 113B).

  As shown in FIG. 113 (C), in the case of the AT pressing part of the double pressing order type, the first stop operation is limited to either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c, and the correct answer pressing order is set to 4 options. However, the expected number of irregular pushes can be kept as low as 4.2. Further, the expected number of forward presses or scissors presses can be reduced to 1 or less. As a result, capture by irregular pressing (other than forward pressing or scissor pressing) can be prevented, and the first stop operation can eliminate the AT small part in the correct pressing order of the left stop button 10a. Since the ratio of small parts in any order can be increased, there is a unique effect that it is easy to produce.

  FIG. 104 is a game state transition diagram.

  The general game starts in the initial state (also referred to as the initial replay state) from the next game after the bonus game of bonus 1 has been completed or the next game in which the stage setting value has been re-entered. The replay probability in this general game is about 1 / 7.3, and in particular, the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) and the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) are not won. The folds must be displayed on the active line. Even if Bonus 2 is won, activated or ended, the game state does not change, so it remains in the initial state.

  When the push order watermelon is elected internally in the general game and the stop action procedure of the stop button 10 is missed and the bell-shaped sword symbol 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 all the combinations shown in FIG. 102 and FIG. 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 stays is in the RT1 state.

  When RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won and activated in the RT1 state, the RT2 state is reached in which the replay probability has increased to approximately 1 / 1.5. Also, in the RT2 state, the winning probability of the two bonus roles and small roles is about 1/3, so the combined probability of the bonus role, small role and replay role is 1/1 (100%) or (65526 to 65535) / 65536 ( The number of lost is about 1-10). Note that the hatched portion in the figure indicates a high probability replay state.

  The RT4 transition replay (replay 4) is a penalty replay that operates when the stop button unit 10 is irregularly pressed or when the operation sequence is incorrect, and is performed when a prohibited operation is performed. When the RT4 transition replay is activated, the game is returned to the initial state after being locked in the RT4 state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3 for a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games). The RT4 transition replay is also activated in the RT2 state and the RT3 state.

  When the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won and activated in the RT2 state, the RT3 state is about 1 / 1.5 with the same replay probability. Further, the RT3 state is different in that the kind of replay combination to be won in the RT2 state is different, and there is no losing like the RT2 state, which is advantageous to the player. When the bell-shaped eye is displayed on the active line in the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the state falls to the RT1 state.

Bonus 1 and bonus 2 can be won in the initial state, the RT1 state, the RT2 state, and the RT3 state. When Bonus 1 is won internally, it stops when the red 7 symbols are aimed at each drum and returns to the initial replay state after activation. In the bonus game after the bonus 1 is activated, the stop button is pushed in order (the left stop button 10a → the middle stop button 10b → the right stop button 1).
If 0c or the left stop button 10a → the right stop button 10c → the middle stop button 10b), 14 cherries win, and if an irregular press (operation other than the above-described forward pressing) is performed, 15 cherries win.

  Bonus 2 is independently won internally, and in this case, regardless of the operation of the stop switch, any bonus 2 symbol is drawn on the active line and is always activated. This bonus 2 does not change (transfer) the replay state even if the internal winning, the symbol is displayed, or the operation is completed. Therefore, after winning in the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the same high probability replay is performed again. You can return to the state. As a result, the bonus 2 can be continuously released while maintaining the ART state. In the bonus game after the bonus 2 is activated, the replay role is drawn in a lottery, but even if the replay role is won internally, the small role is won regardless of the result of the internal lottery (that is, the probability that the replay is activated is 0). ). In particular, the main control unit 100 performs reel stop control so that 14 cherries win when the stop button is pressed in order, and 15 cherries win when the irregular button is pressed.

  FIG. 114 shows an excerpt of a normal payout table.

  FIG. 114 (A) shows only the normal replay (replay 1), RT2 transition replay (replay 2), and RT4 transition replay (replay 4) of FIG. 102, and the operation pattern has been rewritten for easy explanation. It ’s just that. The gaming state is as described with reference to FIG.

  (1) Normal replay (replay 1): A title when replay symbols are aligned on the active line for each drum, and even if replay 1 is activated, the replay probability does not change. The probability that the replay is activated is approximately 1 / 7.3.

  (2) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): This is the title when replay symbols are aligned on the effective line on the left drum 2a (cherry), middle drum 2b and right drum 2c. The game probability changes to the RT2 state (AT replay state). The probability that the replay is activated is approximately 1 / 1.5.

  (3) RT4 transition replay (replay 4): This is a title when the replay symbols are aligned on the effective line on the left drum 2a (watermelon), middle drum 2b and right drum 2c, and predetermined when replay 4 is activated. The replay probability is changed and locked to the RT4 state (penalty replay state) for the number of games (for example, 10 games). In this RT4 state, the RT2 transition replay and the above-described RT3 transition replay are not lottery. The probability that the replay is activated is approximately 1 / 7.3.

  In the RT1 state shown in FIG. 104, when the combined replay combination (normal replay, RT2 transition replay, and RT4 transition replay) is won internally, any of the replay combinations can be operated. The ROM 101 stores stop switch operation order data (order data for drawing in the RT2 transition replay, also referred to as push order data) in association with the combined replay combination. In this case, the operation order data is the first to third order data (middle-left-right or 2-1-3), but the last stop drum is inevitably determined, so the first and the first Two order data up to 2 (middle-left or 2-1) may be used. There are four types of order data, and there are (middle-right-left), (right-left-middle), and (right-middle-left). Similarly to the replay shown in FIG. 80, the four types of composite replay combinations have different types and combinations of the replay combinations that are won simultaneously (see FIG. 114B).

When the composite replay combination is won internally, the main control unit 100 reads the operation sequence data stored in association with the ROM 101 and recognizes the operation sequence (middle-left-right) for drawing in the RT2 transition replay. First, if the first stop operation of the stop button unit 10 is the left stop button 10a (predetermined first stop switch), the main control unit 100 stops the replay symbol on the effective line of the left drum 2a, and then stops. Regardless of whether the operation is the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c, the replay symbol is stopped on the effective line of the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c, and the normal replay is activated (FIG. 114 (C) left 1st). See the case). That is, when the left stop button 10a is a forward push of the first stop operation, since it is a recommended operation order, no penalty is given.

  On the other hand, if the first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b (second stop switch), the replay symbol is first stopped on the effective line of the middle drum 2b (see the case of 1st in FIG. 114C). . If the subsequent second stop operation is the left stop button 10a, the operation sequence up to the second stop operation matches the recognized (middle-left-right), so the main control unit 100 is on the effective line of the left drum 2a. The cherry symbol is stopped (refer to the case of 2nd left in FIG. 114 (C)), and the replay symbol is stopped on the effective line of the right drum 2c by the subsequent stop operation, and the AT transition replay is activated.

  On the other hand, if the subsequent second stop operation is the right stop button 10c, the replay symbol is stopped on the effective line of the right drum 2c (see the case of 2nd right in FIG. 114 (C)), and left by the third stop operation thereafter. When the stop button 10a is operated, the main control unit 100 does not coincide with the recognized operation order until the second stop operation (middle-left-right), so that the watermelon symbol is placed on the effective line of the left drum 2a. Stop and activate RT4 transition replay (penalty transition replay). Further, if the first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, the main controller 100 stops the second stop when the replay symbol is stopped on the effective line of the right drum 2c and then the left stop button 10a is stopped. Since the operation order up to the operation does not coincide with the recognized (middle-left-right), the watermelon symbol is stopped on the effective line of the left drum 2a and the RT4 transition replay is activated. That is, when the stop switch is operated in an order different from the recognized operation order, the penalty transition replay is activated. In other words, when the button is irregularly pressed, the main control unit 100 compares the operation order when the left stop button 10a is stopped, and if it matches, activates the RT2 transition replay. Activate the transition replay. As a result, with an irregular push, RT2 transition replay will only operate at 1/4, and in addition, RT4 transition replay will operate at 3/4, and it will not be possible to escape from the penalty state for 10 games, so it can be captured. No.

  FIG. 115 is an explanatory diagram of a system in the type 2 BB.

  FIG. 115A shows the fifteen cherries (FR4) described in FIG. In the figure, for ease of explanation, cherry symbols are stopped at the lower stage of the left drum 2a and the upper stage of the right drum 2c, but actually, the cherry pattern is placed on the left drum 2a on the first line (on the effective line) (cherry). (Or replay), all symbols (ANY) are stopped on the middle drum 2b, and (cherry) is stopped on the right drum 2c.

  Similarly, the upper diagram in FIG. 115B shows the 14-sheet cherry (FR3) described in FIG. In the figure, the cherry symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c. However, in actuality, all symbols (not cherry or replay) on the first line (on the effective line) and all symbols (other than cherry or replay) are displayed on the middle drum 2b. ANY), (Cherry) is stopped on the right drum 2c.

When the bonus 2 is activated in the RT1 state of FIG. 104 (the normal replay state where the winning probability of the replay role is low), the control unit (the main control unit 100 or the sub-control unit 160) instructs to reversely press (for example, “right” and voice) When the player reverse-presses the stop button 10, 15 cherries are won and the number acquired is 15 (see FIG. 115A). Since bonus 2 ends when the number of payouts exceeds 14, the bonus game is only one game. In this case, since the cherry small combination (AT ceiling count small combination) wins only once, 1 point is obtained. If the player presses the stop button part 10 in order without following the reverse push instruction, 14 cherries will win, but in that case, a large penalty (for example, no point addition and no ART lottery) is given. It will be. The difference in the non-ART state is 12 (acquired 15-specified number 3), which is preferable because the base in the normal state is lowered.

  When Bonus 2 is activated in the RT2 state or the RT3 state of FIG. 104 (ART state in which the winning probability of the replay role is higher than the normal replay state), the control unit instructs to push forward (for example, “Left”, audio and video) When the player pushes the stop button portion 10 in order, 14 cherries are won and the number of acquired is 14 (see the upper diagram of FIG. 115 (B)). Since bonus 2 ends when the number of payouts exceeds 14, the next bonus game can be played without puncturing. If no forward-pressing operation instruction is issued, the player may cause the forward-pressing operation, which is a recommended operation procedure for normal games, to be issued, and the forward-pressing operation is indicated by “sound” and voice and video. May be. In the next bonus game, as described above, the control unit issues a reverse pressing instruction, so the number of acquired game is 15 (see the lower diagram in FIG. 115 (B)). The difference in the number of ARTs is 23 ((acquired 14 sheets−specified number of 3 sheets) + (acquired 15 sheets−specified number of 3 sheets)), and the increased number of sheets during ART is about twice that of normal times. Therefore, the net increase per game during the ART is increased by that amount, and it becomes possible to create a peak of the game, which is very preferable.

  FIG. 116 is an explanatory diagram of effects during ART.

  During the ART mode, an image of hibiscus flowers blooming is displayed on the display effect device 11. For example, when one set of ART starts in 40 games and an AT miniature of the two-pressing order type wins, right → By notifying the player of the operation order, such as from the middle to the left, it is easy to win the AT small role. Further, when bonus 2 is activated during ART, the control unit draws a replay role in the first game and issues a forward push instruction or no instruction. As a result, the player pushes the stop button portion 10 in order to win 14 cherries, and stocks one winning cherry image on the display screen (see FIG. 116A). Note that the cherry small combination may correspond to the AT continuous lottery small combination, and the winning number of the cherry small combination may be displayed as a number. Then, the control unit draws a replay role in the second game and issues a reverse push instruction. As a result, when the player reverse-presses the stop button portion 10, 15 cherries are won, so that one winning cherry image is added on the display screen, so that two stocks are obtained (see FIG. 116 (B)).

  Similarly, when Bonus 2 is activated again during ART, the control unit wins 14 cherries in the first game and 15 cherries in the second game, and adds two cherry images on the display screen. To do. As a result, a total of four cherries are stocked (see FIGS. 116C and 116D). Then, when the ART40 game is digested, the display effect device 11 displays an image in which the hibiscus flower is constricted, and makes a continuation determination of ART (flowering challenge screen).

  In the first game after the end of ART, when the player operates the max bet button 8 and hits the start lever 9, the ART continuation determination is performed. In the determination of the first game, since the hibiscus flower remains constricted, the game is lost, and one cherry is consumed per game and the image is erased (see FIG. 116E). In addition, when the number of winnings of the cherry small role is displayed in numbers, the number of winnings may be subtracted. Similarly, the hibiscus does not bloom in the second game, and one cherry image is erased (see FIG. 116F).

In the subsequent third game, the player operates the max bet button 8 to start the lever 9
When struck, a hibiscus flower blooms to notify ART winning (see FIG. 116 (G)). Thereafter, a new ART40 game starts (see FIG. 116 (H)).

  FIG. 117 is an explanatory diagram of effects during ART.

  117 (A) to 117 (G) are the same as FIGS. 116 (A) to 116 (G), and description thereof is omitted.

  Even if the continuation of ART is confirmed in FIG. 117 (G), the winning cherry small part remains, and when the player operates the max bet button 8, an image in which the hibiscus flower is once constricted is displayed. A mode-up determination is performed (see the butterfly flowering challenge screen in FIG. 117 (H)). When the player operates the start lever 9, a mode-up determination is performed. If the player loses, the ART40 game shown in FIG. 116 (H) starts. On the other hand, if the player wins, a rainbow-colored butterfly jumps out of the flowering hibiscus. The mode up winning is notified (see FIG. 117 (I)). Then, the butterfly ART mode is entered and 100-game ART is started (see FIG. 117 (J)). In the butterfly ART mode, the number of games is increased each time a small role, rare small role, bonus, or the like is won, and the ART game continues indefinitely. When the number of games reaches 0, the butterfly ART mode ends and a new ART40 game starts (see FIG. 116 (H)).

  The ART continuous lottery and the mode-up lottery described above may be automatically performed by the control unit when the cherry small combination wins (that is, prior lottery determination). In this case, the degree of expectation can be expressed by displaying the cherry symbol or the periphery of the winning third game in rainbow color.

  On the other hand, if a player obtains a random number value or counter value at any timing when the player operates the max bet button 8, the start lever 9 or the stop button unit 10, and executes a lottery, it can give a sense of self-help. Players get enthusiasm and can feel super hot when winning.

  FIG. 118 is an explanatory diagram of the cherry point ceiling system.

  FIG. 118 (A) shows the flow of the game. First, the cherry point ceiling (AT ceiling value) is determined according to the current stay mode. The ART is determined in this system when the bonus 1 is won and when the cherry point described later reaches the AT ceiling price. When the ART is won, the ART is started after the mode transition lottery is performed, and when the number of continuing games becomes 0, the cherry point ceiling is determined again. This state is repeatedly looped.

  FIG. 118B shows a cherry point ceiling table by mode. There are four types of stay modes: “hell mode”, “normal mode”, “heaven mode”, and “super heaven mode”. If the current stay mode is “hell mode”, the cherry point ceiling is always determined to be 100 points. In addition, in the “normal mode”, it is determined by any one of 1 to 100 points by lottery, but the probability of being distributed every 10 points is 10 times that of the others. As a result, a chance zone appears every 10 points, so the player has a strong sense of expectation, such as 10 points later, 10 points later, and so on. effective. In the “heaven mode”, the probability of being distributed to 1 point and 10 points is as high as 25%, 8 points and 9 points are 10%, and the others are 5%. In the “super heaven mode”, 1 point is 50%, 2 points is 10%, and others are 5%. That is, in the “heaven mode” or “super heaven mode”, ART is determined before 10 cherry points are accumulated, so up to 10 points become a continuous zone, and the player cannot stop.

  FIG. 119 is an explanatory diagram of various tables.

  FIG. 119A is a cherry point addition table. In the 15-cherry role shown in FIG. 102, there are a square choke where the cherry symbol stops at the upper stage of the right drum 2c and a middle choe where the cherry symbol stops at the middle stage, and the ratio is approximately 10: 1. Thus, the stop position of the cherry symbol is determined as the upper stage or the middle stage depending on the type or combination of replays that the control unit draws during BB2 operation. When the ratio is 90%, the cherry points to be given are determined by lottery using the cherry point addition table, and added to the cherry points stocked so far. One point is 91%, and the other 2 to 10 points have a probability of 1%. Similarly, in the case where the ratio is 10%, the probability of 2 points to 9 points is 10% and 10 points is 20%, and a high score can be expected. That is, a large number of points can be easily obtained by pulling the middle check during BB2 operation. In addition, if a corner check or a medium check is drawn during a general game in the RT1 state (normal replay state), the ART is fixed (rare small role is released), and if it is a medium check, the super heaven mode is set. Is started.

  FIG. 119 (B) is a mode transition table (ceiling), which is used when an ART is won by reaching the cherry point ceiling. When the stay mode before the transition is “hell mode”, the mode is shifted to “heaven mode” with a probability of 90% or “super heaven mode” with a probability of 10% by lottery. In other words, if you escape from the “hell mode”, you will always be in the “heaven mode” or “super heaven mode”, and the player will continue to play with the expectation.

  If the stay mode before the transition is “normal mode”, the lottery falls to “hell mode” with a probability of 20% and maintains “normal mode” with a probability of 50%, while “ The mode is shifted to “heaven mode” or to “super heaven mode” with a probability of 5%.

  If the stay mode before the transition is “heaven mode”, it will drop to “hell mode” with a probability of 10% by lottery or “normal mode” with a probability of 40%, while “heaven” with a probability of 45%. "Mode" is maintained, or the mode is shifted to "Super heaven mode" with a probability of 5%.

  When the stay mode before the transition is the “super heaven mode”, the lottery falls to the “heaven mode” with a probability of 25%, while the “super heaven mode” is maintained with a probability of 75%.

  FIG. 119 (C) is a mode transition table (BB1), which is used when an ART is won by winning of bonus 1. When the stay mode before the transition is the “hell mode”, the mode is shifted to the “heaven mode” with a probability of 50% or the “super heaven mode” with a probability of 50% by lottery. If the stay mode before the transition is “normal mode”, it will fall to “hell mode” with a probability of 20% by lottery and maintain the “normal mode” with a probability of 45%, while “ The mode is shifted to “heaven mode” or to “super heaven mode” with a probability of 10%.

  If the stay mode before the transition is “normal mode”, it will fall to “hell mode” with a probability of 20% by lottery and maintain the “normal mode” with a probability of 45%, while “ The mode is shifted to “heaven mode” or to “super heaven mode” with a probability of 10%.

  If the stay mode before the transition is “heaven mode”, it will drop to “hell mode” with a probability of 10% or “normal mode” with a probability of 10% by lottery, while “heaven” with a probability of 60%. “Mode” is maintained, or mode up transition is made to “Super Heaven Mode” with a probability of 20%. When the stay mode before the transition is the “super heaven mode”, the “super heaven mode” is maintained with a probability of 100%. In other words, it does not fall from “super heaven mode”.

  FIG. 120 is an explanatory diagram of effects during a normal game.

  As a screen configuration during normal game (RT1 state in FIG. 104), there are basically three screens: a normal time screen (the left diagram in FIG. 120), a BB2 middle screen (the central diagram in FIG. 120), and a screen after the end of BB2 (the right diagram in FIG. 120). There is one.

  From the top of the normal screen, the screen consists of a night screen, a spear screen, a day screen, and a snow screen, and impresses the player with the approximate distance to the cherry point ceiling (AT ceiling value). For example, if the ceiling value of the cherry point ceiling is 100 points, the stocked cherry point displayed on the upper right is 0 to 29 at night, the same point is 30 to 59, the screen is dark, the point is 60 or more, the day screen, and the rest When reaching the ceiling at about 5 points, the MAX display blinks and a snow screen is displayed. Of course, in order to give the player a sense of expectation, a gasse effect may be performed, and the screen may be shifted from the day screen to the night screen again through the night screen. That is, the night screen to the day screen are repeated many times. Since the maximum ceiling value is 100 points and does not exceed this value, the player continues the game while being patient.

  When bonus 2 (type 2 BB2 in FIG. 104) is won internally during a normal game, a flashy chance effect is performed, and the bonus 2 symbol is always drawn and activated regardless of the operation of the stop switch. The next game becomes a bonus game of BB2, and a reverse push instruction is issued after the start lever is operated (in this case, right-to-middle-to-left push order navigation, see the upper center of FIG. 120).

  When the player operates the right stop button 10c in the first stop, the cherry symbol stops at the upper or middle stage of the right drum 2c, and the displayed number 1 changes to the cherry symbol (see the middle diagram in FIG. 120). ). At that time, a cherry point lottery is performed at the timing when the player releases the right stop button 10c (see FIG. 119A). When the player operates the stop button unit 10 in the order of middle → left, 15 cherries win, and after the third stop operation, the cherry symbol is replaced with the number of winning cherry points, and the amount is added to the upper right. It is displayed (see the lower center of FIG. 120). On the other hand, when the player operates the left stop button 10a in the first stop, 14 cherries are won, but in that case, no cherry points are added as a penalty. Note that if the cherry point lottery is performed at the timing (moment) when the third stop operation button is released, the player's sense of expectation can be further amplified.

  When the player operates the max bet button 8, the original stage screen is displayed (see the upper right diagram in FIG. 120). If the stocked cherry point reaches the ceiling, an image in which a hibiscus flower blooms is displayed. And one set of ART starts in 40 games (see the lower right diagram in FIG. 120). However, if the ceiling has not been reached, the original normal screen is restored.

Application Example 1 of Example 1
FIG. 121 is a payout table for normal operation and bonus operation.

  Since this payout table is almost the same as that in FIG. 102, differences will be described. In FIG. 102, (1) bonus 1 (second-type accessory continuous operating device), (2) bonus 2 (second-type accessory continuous operating device), (3) color bell (bell 1 to bell 64). ), (4) Watermelon (FR2), (7) Normal replay (replay 1) to (14) The bells (1 to n) serving as the bells have the same contents, and will not be described.

  When all three reels (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. 101).

(4-2) Watermelon 2 (FR2-2): This is the title when the water drum symbol on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b and the replay symbol on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. . This watermelon 2 wins at the same time as other small roles (for example, 1 single role 1 (FR1-1)) with a very low probability (about 1/30000), but even in that case, the stop button 10 is pushed forward. Then, since the pull-in control for other small roles is performed, it is necessary to perform reverse pressing (other than forward pressing or scissor pressing) to win. In addition, while bonus 1 or bonus 2 is in operation, no matter how the stop button unit 10 is operated, no winning is made. That is, the watermelon 2 is a small role that rarely wins during the game. However, the operation of bonus 2 (“bonus combination” described in the claims) ends when the payout of medals exceeds 14 or when 2 games are consumed at the maximum.

  (5-2) Four-cherry role (FR3-2): Left drum 2a (other than cherry or replay), middle drum 2b all symbols (ANY), right drum 2c (cherry) stop on the effective line Then, the acquired number of sheets is 4. While the bonus 1 or bonus 2 is in operation, the stop button 10 is pushed in order (left stop button 10a → intermediate stop button 10b → right stop button 10c or left stop button 10a → right stop button 10c → intermediate stop button 10b). A piece of cherry won.

  (6-2) 14-sheet cherry role (FR4-2): When all symbols (ANY) are stopped on the left drum 2a (cherry or replay), middle drum 2b is stopped on the effective line, and (cherry) is stopped on the right drum 2c , The acquired number will be 14. If the stop button unit 10 is irregularly pressed (operations other than the above-described forward pressing) while the bonus 1 or bonus 2 is in operation, 14 cherries are won.

  FIG. 122 is an explanatory diagram of a system in the type BB.

  FIG. 122 (A) shows the four cherries (FR3-2) described in FIG. In the figure, the cherry symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c for ease of explanation, but in reality, the middle of the left drum 2a on the first line (on the effective line) (other than cherry or replay) All symbols (ANY) are stopped on the drum 2b, and (cherry) is stopped on the right drum 2c.

  Similarly, FIG. 122 (B) shows the 14-sheet cherry (FR4-2) described in FIG. In the figure, the cherry symbols are stopped at the lower stage of the left drum 2a and the upper stage of the right drum 2c, but in reality, the left drum 2a on the first line (on the effective line) (cherry or replay), the middle drum 2b. All symbols (ANY) and (Cherry) on the right drum 2c are stopped.

  In the RT1 state of FIG. 104 (normal replay state where the winning probability of the replay role is low), even if the bonus 2 that ends when two games are consumed is activated, the control unit (the main control unit 100 or the sub control unit 160) Since it is in a non-ART state, no operation instruction is given or a forward press instruction (for example, “Left” is indicated by sound and video) is issued. When the player presses the stop button portion 10 in order or scissors, four cherries are won and the number obtained is four (see FIG. 122A). Bonus 2 ends when the number of payouts exceeds 14, but since only 4 have been paid out, the next bonus game is played without puncturing. However, since there are 3 inserted medals and 4 acquired medals, only one is added. The number of medals earned for four cherries is not limited to four, and may be suitably 1 to 3 depending on the design of the balls. Further, if the player reversely presses the stop button portion 10 without following the forward push instruction, 14 cherries will win, but in that case, a large penalty (for example, no point addition and ART lottery is not given) is given. It will be.

In the next game, bonus 2 is activated, but if the player similarly pushes forward in the same manner, the number of acquired medals becomes 4, and the operation of bonus 2 ends with only 1 increase. As a result, the difference number in the non-ART state is 2 ((4 acquisitions−3 specified number of sheets) + (4 acquisitions−3 specified number of sheets)), and the base in the normal state is lowered. It can be said that it is preferable. Note that in the bonus game in which bonus 2 is in operation, all the small roles are in the internal winning state, and the main control unit 100 performs only the replay lottery, and any replay (in the combined replay in which a plurality of replays are simultaneously selected) Good) won or lost.

  When the bonus 2 is activated in the RT2 state or the RT3 state (ART state in which the winning probability of the replay role is higher than the normal replay state) in FIG. 104 and the AT is activated, the control unit displays a reverse push instruction (for example, “right”). When the player reverse-presses the stop button 10, 14 cherries are won and the number obtained is 14 (see FIG. 122 (B)). Since bonus 2 ends when the total number of payouts exceeds 14, the next bonus game can be played without puncturing. Also in the next bonus game, as described above, the control unit issues a reverse push instruction, so the number of acquisition is 14 (see FIG. 122 (B)), and the operation of bonus 2 ends. The difference in the ART state is 22 ((acquired 14 sheets-specified number of 3 sheets) + (acquired 14 sheets-specified number of 3 sheets)), and the increased number of sheets during ART is 20 sheets more than usual. Therefore, the net increase per game in the ART is increased by that amount, and it is possible to create a peak of the game, which is very preferable.

Application example 2 of Example 1:
FIG. 123 is a payout table at the normal time and at the time of bonus operation.

  This payout table is almost the same as FIG. 121, and the difference is that (1) the specified number of bonuses 2 in operation is one, and (2) four-cherry role (FR3-2) It is only that it became a single cherry role (FR3-3).

  FIG. 124 is a correspondence table of small combinations winning in the two types BB (during a bonus game). Similar contents have already been described with reference to FIG.

  The winning combination shown at the left end indicates a replay combination to be drawn during BB2, and any one of lose, normal replay, RT2 transition replay, RT3 transition replay, or RT4 transition replay is won with a probability of 1/5. It is like that. The replay type to be selected may be different as replay 1 to replay 4, but if the replay type is replay 1 to replay 3, (replay 1 single win), (replay 2 single win), (Replay 3 single winner), (Replay 1 + Replay 2 simultaneous winner), (Replay 1 + Replay 3 simultaneous winner), (Replay 2 + Replay 3 simultaneous winner), (Replay 1 + Replay 2 + Replay 3 simultaneous winner) Seven different replays can be provided. Note that the ROM 101 stores a pressing order in which 14 cherry roles are arranged in the two types of BBs in correspondence with the winning combination (including the loss).

  In the BB2 bonus game, when the replay lottery is lost (when the replay is unsuccessful), when the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation, the 14-cherry wins, and in other operations One cherry wins a prize. When the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a, either the stop button of the second or third stop operation may be operated first.

  When the normal replay is won in the replay lottery, 14 cherries are obtained when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop operation, the left stop button 10a is operated in the second stop operation, and the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop operation. The winning combination wins, and in other stop operations, one cherry winning combination wins.

When the RT2 transition replay is won in the replay lottery, the middle stop button 10b in the first stop operation, the right stop button 10c in the second stop operation, and the left stop button 10a in the third stop operation are operated. The cherry role wins, and in other stop operations, one cherry role wins.

  When the RT3 transition replay is won in the replay lottery, when the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop operation, the left stop button 10a is operated in the second stop operation, and the middle stop button 10b is operated in the third stop operation, 14 sheets The cherry role wins, and in other stop operations, one cherry role wins.

  When the RT4 transition replay is won in the replay lottery, when 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 the left stop button 10a is operated by the third stop operation, 14 sheets The cherry role wins, and in other stop operations, one cherry role wins.

  In the bonus game of BB2, when the AT function is activated and the operation order of the stop button unit 10 is notified, the number of inserted games is 2 and the number of acquired games is 28 in 2 games. On the other hand, if the AT function is not activated and the operation order of the stop button unit 10 is not notified, the number of inserted games is 2 and the number of acquired games is 3.6 in 2 games (expected value: 14 × 1/5 + 1 × 4) / 5). In addition, when the BB2 is won (when the operation symbol is displayed), the inserted number is 3 and the acquired number is 0. Therefore, BB2 throws in 5 games in 3 games from the internal winning to the end and increases by 23 because the acquired number is 28 when AT is activated, while it is 3.6 when the AT is not operated and average is 1. Four medals will be reduced. That is, even if BB2 is won frequently, the player cannot increase medals unless the AT function is activated. This action and effect peculiar to the present invention makes it possible to maximize the number of net increase per game and to generate a large wave of balls.

  FIG. 125 is an explanatory diagram of a system in the type 2 BB.

  The main control unit 100 is in the state of being internally won based on the operation order of the stop switch determined corresponding to the replay role or loss that has been won internally, without operating the replay role that has been won internally. Among all the small roles, either 14 cherries (first small role) with 14 payouts or 1 cherry (second small role) with 1 payout are awarded.

  FIG. 125 (A-3) shows a state where the 14 cherries (FR4-2) described in FIG. 121 have won. In the figure, for ease of explanation, cherry symbols are stopped at the lower stage of the left drum 2a and the upper stage of the right drum 2c, but actually, the cherry pattern is placed on the left drum 2a on the first line (on the effective line) (cherry). (Or replay), all symbols (ANY) are stopped on the middle drum 2b, and (cherry) is stopped on the right drum 2c.

  In the BB2 bonus game, the main control unit 100 changes the operation order stored in the ROM 101 when the left stop button 10a is operated by the first stop operation when the replay lottery is lost (when the replay is incorrect). It is determined that they match, and the cherry symbol (or replay symbol) is stopped at the lower stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 125 (A-1)). Next, when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the second stop operation, the middle drum 2b is stopped within a range of one frame and an arbitrary symbol (ANY) is displayed on the active line (FIG. 125 (A-)). 2)). Finally, when the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop operation, the cherry symbol is stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 125 (A-3)), and 14 cherries are won to win 14 medals. Pay out the sheets.

On the other hand, if the main control unit 100 loses the replay lottery in the bonus game of BB2, when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop operation, the main control unit 100 stops the middle drum 2b within one frame. Any symbol (ANY) is displayed on the active line (FIG. 125 (B
-1)). Next, when the right stop button 10c is operated in the second stop operation, the cherry symbol is stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 125 (B-2)). Finally, when the left stop button 10a is operated in the third stop operation, it is determined that the operation order stored in the ROM 101 does not match, and the cherry symbol (or replay symbol) is not stopped at the lower stage of the left drum 2a. The other symbols are stopped (see FIG. 125 (B-3)), one cherry is won, and one medal is paid out. Similarly, the other cherries are won by one cherry, so the explanation is omitted.

  FIG. 126 is an explanatory diagram of a system in the type BB.

  In the BB2 bonus game, when the normal replay is won by the replay lottery, the main control unit 100 stops the middle drum 2b within the range of one frame when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop operation. An arbitrary symbol (ANY) is displayed on the active line (see FIG. 126 (A-1)). Next, when the left stop button 10a is operated in the second stop operation, it is determined that the operation order stored in the ROM 101 coincides, and the cherry symbol (or replay symbol) is stopped at the lower stage of the left drum 2a (FIG. 126 ( See A-2). Finally, when the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop operation, the cherry symbol is stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 126 (A-3)), and 14 cherries are won to win 14 medals. Pay out the sheets.

  On the other hand, in the BB2 bonus game, when the normal replay is won in the replay lottery, the main control unit 100 displays the cherry symbol on the upper side of the right drum 2c when the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop operation. Stop (see FIG. 126 (B-1)). Next, when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the second stop operation, the middle drum 2b is stopped within the range of one frame and an arbitrary symbol (ANY) is displayed on the active line (FIG. 126 (B -2)). Finally, when the left stop button 10a is operated in the third stop operation, it is determined that the operation order stored in the ROM 101 does not match, and the cherry symbol (or replay symbol) is not stopped at the lower stage of the left drum 2a. The other symbols are stopped (see FIG. 126 (B-3)), one cherry is won, and one medal is paid out. Similarly, the other cherries are won by one cherry, so the explanation is omitted. The same applies to cases where other replays (RT2 transition replay to RT2 transition replay) are won in the replay lottery, and the description thereof will be omitted.

  The second embodiment is a related invention obtained by improving the first embodiment.

  FIG. 105 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.

  In each swirl belt, only the left drum 2a is different, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c are drawn in the same 20 patterns, and the bonus (second type BB: accessory continuous operation device) is activated. “White 7”, the symbol “Red 7” for shifting the gaming state to RT3, and six rhombus symbols (that is, six different symbols) of red blue green white purple tea are drawn. Among these diamond-shaped symbols, when a predetermined symbol is displayed on the active line, the second type BB (continuous action device), various replays (no RT fluctuation or various RT transition replays), small role And the push order small part operates or wins. On the other hand, when the RT1 transition replay is operated or the small combination of the push order is lost and the small combination symbol is displayed on the active line, the state falls to the normal state (RT1 state).

The “Red 7” symbol and the “White 7” symbol also serve as the “design for production”, and the start lever 9
In the freeze state until the stop switch becomes operable after the operation of, the operation of the stop button unit 10 is invalidated, and the main control unit 100 uses the drum unit 2 in the meantime, for example, three “red 7” symbols. And a super-reel production that aligns the “White 7” design in a straight line.

  The main control unit 100 determines the number of games (for example, 300 games) or the number of sets (for example, 10 sets for one set of 50 games) to be in the AT state by lottery. Then, when the number of games is 300, the main control unit 100 refers to the gaming state of the variable display game (game) and aligns the three “red 7” symbols in a straight line three times in a straight line and once. Is displayed as 50 games, the second time as 100 games, and the third time as 150 games, and finally “300 games acquired” is displayed on the display effect device 11. Further, when the number of sets is 10, the main control unit 100 similarly aligns the three “red 7” symbols 10 degrees diagonally or horizontally, and finally displays “10 sets acquired” on the display effect device 11. To do. This gaming state is the first game or the end game of the bonus game, or the first game in which the RT state has changed, and does not refer to the winning combination or stop position of the previous game. Therefore, after the bonus is activated, if the symbol is forcibly rotated by rotating the reel, the “Red 7” symbol cannot be aligned.

  FIG. 106 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of game medals inserted.

  FIG. 106 (B) 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 during normal operation and when the bonus (type 2 BB) is activated. That is, in the case of this embodiment, the number of inserted sheets is always 3, and the effective line is only the first line.

  FIG. 107 is a payout table at the normal time and at the time of bonus operation.

  When all three reels (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. 106).

  (1) Bonus 1 (second-type accessory continuous operation device): left drum 2a (white 7), middle drum 2b (white 7), right drum 2c (white 7) aligned on the active line and stopped Then, the acquired number is 0, and bonus 1 (BB1) is given thereafter. This bonus 1 ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/1000, the prescribed number of games inserted in the bonus 1 is three, and the number of payouts exceeds 14. When the bonus 1 is won internally by the lottery and the bonus 1 flag is set, the bonus 1 can be established. This bonus 1 is a variable display game in which the bonus combination is not internally elected, and the internal winning is made independently by lottery. When it is elected alone, the stop switch is aimed at 7 white symbols on all reels. The above operation can be established. Therefore, the player aims at white 7 as a DDT point and performs a stop operation. When the combination of symbols for which bonus 1 is activated is displayed, the next game is changed to a bonus game (bonus gaming state), but the main control unit 100 is the first game (one game) that has shifted to this gaming state. Referring to or recognizing that it is an eye), a super-at-reel effect is performed to align the “white 7” symbols in a straight line.

  When bonus 1 is won internally, the replay probability changes to about 1/3, and when the bonus game ends, the initial state is restored and the ART is fixed.

(2) Bonus 2 (Type 2 consecutive action device): The left drum 2a has either (Rhombus (red) / Rhombus (blue) / Rhombus (yellow) / Rhombus (brown)) or Rhombus on the middle drum 2b When (green) and four types of diamonds (green) on the right drum 2c are aligned and stopped on the active line, the acquired number is 0 and bonus 2 (BB2) is subsequently given. This bonus 2 ends when, for example, the winning probability is about 1/10, the specified number of games inserted in the bonus 2 is three, and the number of payouts exceeds 14. When the bonus 2 is won in the lottery and the bonus 2 flag is set, the bonus 2 can be established.

  This bonus 2 is basically a variable display game in which the bonus combination is not won internally, and is won internally by lottery. If you win alone, regardless of the operation of the stop switch, The bonus 2 design is always pulled in on the active line at 100%. In other words, when Bonus 2 is elected alone, it always works, but when it is designed so that Bonus 2 can be won at the same time as a replay role or small role (a winning role that has priority over the bonus), it is naturally considered that it does not work immediately. It is done.

  When the combination of symbols for which Bonus 2 is activated is displayed, the red 7 symbols are always aligned outside the frame of the display window (one above the top row), and the bonus game (bonus game) The main control unit 100 refers to or recognizes that it is the first game (the first game) that has shifted to this gaming state, and makes a “red 7” symbol in a straight line. “7RUSH” (referred to as “7 rush”) is performed to notify the AT winning.

  Even if the bonus 2 is won internally, even if a symbol is displayed or the operation is completed, the replay state is not changed (shifted). Therefore, after the bonus 2 game is played in the RT2 state to the RT5 state, the same is repeated again. Return to the high probability replay state. As a result, the bonus 2 can be continuously released while maintaining the ART state. In the bonus game after the bonus 2 is activated, the replay role is drawn in a lottery, but even if the replay role is won internally, the small role is won regardless of the result of the internal lottery (that is, the probability that the replay is activated is 0). ). In particular, the stop button is pushed in order according to the replay combination won internally or the combination of replays won simultaneously (left stop button 10a → middle stop button 10b → right stop button 10c or left stop button 10a → right stop button 10c → middle. In the case of the stop button 10b), the winning small combination (14 or 15) is changed to make a difference in the number of payouts. This revolutionary new technology can greatly increase the number of net increase.

  (3) Normal replay (ordinary replay): This is a title when a predetermined replay symbol (colored diamond combination symbol) is displayed on the active line for each drum. Since the medals are automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. Normal replay includes two types of normal replay A and normal replay B, and even if these normal replays are activated, the replay probability (RT state) does not change.

  (4) RT1 transition replay (replay 1): This is a title when a predetermined replay symbol (colored diamond combination symbol) is displayed on the active line for each drum, and no medal is obtained for this. However, medals are automatically inserted before the game starts, and the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. The RT1 transition replay is won at the same time as another replay (for example, normal replay or RT3 transition replay) in the RT2 state to be described later, and other replays are activated when the pressing order is correct. Is activated, and the replay probability falls to the RT1 state (the normal replay state in which the replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3). In other words, it is a penalty replay not to capture.

(5) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): This is the role name when a predetermined replay symbol (colored rhombus combination symbol) is displayed on the active line for each drum, and no medal is obtained for this. However, medals are automatically inserted before the game starts, and the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When the RT2 transition replay is activated, the replay probability changes to the RT2 state of about 1 / 1.5.

  (6) RT3 transition replay (replay 3): The title when (red 7) on the left drum 2a, (red 7) on the middle drum 2b, (red 7) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but since the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When the RT3 transition replay is activated, the replay probability is changed to the RT3 state. When the combination of symbols for which the RT3 transition replay is to be activated is displayed, the RT3 state is entered from the next game, but the main control unit 100 is the first game (first game) that has transitioned to this gaming state. By referring to or recognizing a certain thing, an intense-reel effect is performed in which “Red 7” symbols are aligned.

  (7) RT4 transition replay (replay 4): The title when the rhombus (white) on the left drum 2a, the rhombus (purple) on the middle drum 2b, and the rhombus (purple) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but since the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. It should be noted that three “red 7” symbols are displayed in a horizontal row in the lower part of the drum section, and the player feels as if “red 7” has won, so there is no sense of incongruity. When the RT4 transition replay is activated, the replay probability is changed to the RT4 state. When the combination of symbols for which the RT4 transition replay is activated is displayed, the RT4 state is entered from the next game, but the main control unit 100 is the first game (first game) that has entered the gaming state. By referring to or recognizing a certain thing, an intense-reel effect is performed in which “Red 7” symbols are aligned.

  (8) RT5 transition replay (replay 5): Name when the rhombus (purple) on the left drum 2a, the rhombus (white) on the middle drum 2b, and the rhombus (white) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but since the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. It should be noted that three “Red 7” symbols are displayed in a horizontal row on the upper part of the drum section, and the player feels as if “Red 7” has won, so there is no sense of incongruity. When the RT5 transition replay is activated, the replay probability is changed to the RT5 state. When the combination of symbols for which the RT5 transition replay is activated is displayed, the RT5 state is entered from the next game, but the main control unit 100 is the first game (first game) that has entered this gaming state. By referring to or recognizing a certain thing, an intense-reel effect is performed in which “Red 7” symbols are aligned.

  (9) RT6 transition replay (replay 6): This is the title when the left drum 2a has a rhombus (purple), the middle drum 2b has a rhombus (white), and the right drum 2c has a rhombus (white) on the active line. On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but since the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When the RT6 transition replay is activated, the replay probability changes to the RT6 state (the replay winning probability similar to the normal replay state is 1 / 7.3). This RT6 state is a so-called chance state, and although the replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3, the above-mentioned RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay are drawn, and if winning, the state changes from RT3 to RT5, and the ART state It becomes.

  (10) Color diamond small combination (non-pressing order small combination): This is the name of a combination when a predetermined color rhombus symbol (color diamond combination symbol) is displayed on the active line on each drum. It becomes a sheet. When the color rhombus small combination is won internally by lottery, regardless of the stop operation order and timing of the stop button unit 10, any one of the 64 types of color rhombus symbols stops on the active line and always wins.

(11) AT color diamond small combination (push order small combination): When the operation order of the stop button portion 10 is correct (the push order of the stop button portion 10 matches the push order data), a specific color rhombus small combination (for example, 3 rhombuses (green)) must be awarded, but in the case of incorrect answers, when 64 types of colored rhombus small roles are aligned and prized, or when an eye is displayed, or a single role is awarded Means a winning role. Since it is the same principle as the AT small part (push order watermelon) described in FIG. 103, the description is omitted.

  (12) One-piece small combination 1 to one small-piece combination 3: This is a combination of names when a predetermined colored rhombus design (combination of colored rhombus) is displayed on the active line on each drum. (See FIG. 103).

  (13) Two kinds of small and medium roles 1: Names when a predetermined colored rhombus pattern (combination pattern of colored rhombus) is displayed on the active line on each drum, and the acquired number is 14. However, during normal games, only about 1 / 60,000 will be won.

  (14) Two types of small and medium roles 2: Names when the predetermined color rhombus symbols (color rhombus combination symbols) are displayed on the effective line on each drum, and the number obtained is 15. However, during normal games, only about 1 / 60,000 will be won.

  (15) Coordinates of AT color rhombus small part (1-n): A special symbol (falling pattern) displayed on the effective line when the AT color rhombus small part is missed When two special symbols are displayed, the replay probability changes to the RT1 state (normal replay state with a replay winning probability of 1 / 7.3). Note that even if this special symbol is displayed in the initial replay state where the setting is changed or after the end of the bonus game in which bonus 1 is activated, the state shifts to the RT1 state.

  FIG. 108 is a game state transition diagram.

  The general game starts in the initial state (also referred to as “initial replay state”) from the next game after the bonus game of bonus 1 has been completed or the next game in which the stage setting value has been re-entered. In this general game, the replay probability is about 1 / 7.3, and in order to get out of this state, the above-mentioned small part of the push order must be displayed on the active line. Also, even if Bonus 2 is won, activated (symbol display), or ended, the gaming state does not change, so it remains in the initial state.

  In the general game, when the push order small combination wins internally and the stop operation procedure (order or timing) of the stop button 10 is mistaken, if the symbol is displayed on the active line, the RT1 state is entered from the next game. (The number of continuation games is not fixed. In other words, it is infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, and random numbers are drawn including all the combinations shown in FIG. 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 stays is in the RT1 state.

When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is activated by internal winning in the RT1 state, the RT2 state (preparation state) is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.5. Further, when the normal replay B and the RT2 transition replay (preparation replay) are simultaneously internally won in the RT1 state, either the normal replay B or the RT2 transition replay is operated according to the stored push order information (push order data). For example, if the pressing order information is “2-1-3”, a stop operation in the order of the middle stop button 10b → the left stop button 10a → the right stop button 10c activates the RT2 transition replay, but a different stop operation. Is performed, the normal replay B is activated. In this RT1 state, although the winning probability is a low probability of about 1/3000, the RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay, which will be described later, and the RT6 transition replay with a winning probability of about 1/200 are won. Can be moved to a zone.

  In the RT2 state, the winning probability of two bonus roles and small roles is about 1/3, so the combined probability of bonus roles, small roles and replay roles is 1/1 (100%) or (65526-65535) / 65536 (losing The number is about 1-10). Note that the hatched portion in the figure indicates a high probability replay state.

  In this RT2 state, RT1 transition replay (falling replay) and RT3 transition replay (AT replay) are won at the same time, and either RT1 transition replay or RT3 transition replay is activated according to the stored push order information (push order data). Let For example, if the push order information is “3-2-1”, a stop operation in the order of right stop button 10c → intermediate stop button 10b → left stop button 10a activates RT3 transition replay, while different stop operations are performed. When done, activate RT1 transition replay. Also, even if the push order small combination is displayed, it falls to the RT1 state, so in the ART state, the correct push order is notified (navigated).

  When the RT3 transition replay is activated in the RT2 state, the three red 7 symbols are displayed in alignment with the central horizontal line, so that the player has a very hot impression similar to the bonus winning. In addition, when the RT3 transition replay is activated, the main control unit 100 refers to or recognizes that the next game is the first game in the RT3 state, and performs a freeze effect using the drum unit 2. For example, the number of games or sets to be placed in the ART state is determined by lottery, and the drum unit 2 (a plurality of symbol rows) is changed or rotated based on the determination result, and the red 7 symbols are set to the side or diagonal line for the number of sets. Just align. Thereby, the freeze effect using the reel is performed without referring to the winning combination and stop position of the previous game. Similarly, when the bonus 1 or the bonus 2 is activated, the intense game freeze effect is performed by referring to or recognizing that the next game is the first game in the BB1 state or the BB2 state (details will be described later).

  The RT3 state after the RT2 transition replay operation has a replay probability of about 1 / 1.5 as in the RT2 state, but the replay type to be selected is different from the RT2 state, and the normal replay B, RT4 transition replay and RT5 transition The replay is selected by lottery, and the RT1 transition replay is not activated.

  When the RT4 transition replay is activated in the RT3 state, the three red 7 symbols are displayed in a line with the lower horizontal line. Similarly, when the RT5 transition replay is activated in the RT3 state, the three red 7 symbols are displayed together in the upper horizontal line. When the RT4 transition replay or the RT5 transition replay is activated, the main control unit 100 refers to or recognizes that the next game is the first game in the RT4 state or the RT5 state, and uses the drum unit 2 to generate heat. Perform freeze production. In this RT4 state, normal replay B, RT3 transition replay, and RT5 transition replay are selected by lottery. In the RT5 state, the normal replay B, the RT3 transition replay, and the RT4 transition replay are selected by lottery. In both states, the RT1 transition replay is not activated.

  When the assist function is activated in the RT3 state to the RT5 state, a so-called ART state is established, and it is possible to play a game without reducing medals. When the AT color rhombus winning combination is won in the ART state, the main control unit 100 notifies the player of the pushing order for winning, so that a medal can be easily obtained. On the other hand, if the pressing order is not notified, the AT color rhombus small part is missed with a high probability (about 5/6), and at that time, the eyelet is displayed and falls to the RT1 state. In addition, Bonus 2 is frequently won at around 1/10, and up to 23 cards in 2 games during BB2, so the net speed increase (about 4 cards / game) that could not be realized until now with the No. 5 Cylinder machine ) Can be achieved.

  When the RT6 transition replay is activated in the RT1 state, the RT6 state is entered from the next game. In this RT6 state, the replay probability is about 1 / 7.3 as in the RT1 state, but the replay type to be selected is different from the RT1 state, and the normal replay A, RT3 transition replay, RT4 transition replay and RT5 transition replay are performed. The RT1 transition replay is not activated. The RT6 state is a so-called chance zone, and only the predetermined number of games (for example, 30 games) or the number of games determined by lottery is set to the AT state. . Also, if RT3 transition replay, RT4 transition replay or RT5 transition replay is elected during the chance zone, it will be in the RT3 state to RT5 state and it will be able to attract ART by itself, so the player can put power into the start lever It is a moment.

  Bonus 1 and bonus 2 can be won in the initial state and in all the RT1 to RT6 states. In the case of bonus 1, the BB1 game returns to the initial state after the end, while in the case of bonus 2, the replay probability is not changed at all. Then, after the BB2 game ends, the original state is restored. Note that the RT1 state is a normal replay state, and the RT2 to RT5 states are AT replay states.

  FIG. 109 is a correspondence table of small roles winning in the BB2 bonus game.

  The winning combination at the left end indicates a replay combination to be drawn during BB2. In the initial state and each game state from RT1 state to RT6 state, when the stop button part 10 is pushed forward during the bonus game of BB2 according to the combination of the replay combination won internally or the replay combination selected simultaneously, the right end is shown. Since 14 small roles (predetermined quantity) or 15 small roles are won, the bonus game ends in one or two games, and a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 29 medals (game media: pachinko balls or tokens) Is good). In addition, if the stop button unit 10 is operated by other than forward pressing, 15 small roles are always won in the bonus game (variable display game) in BB2. In other words, if a 14 small winning combination (predetermined quantity) is won in the first game and a 15 small winning combination is won in the second game, a maximum of 29 medals can be obtained, so the net increase speed is the highest. In addition, in the bonus game in BB2, it is also possible to win either a 14-piece small combination or a 15-sheet small combination according to the operation order of the stop button unit 10. In this case, the operation order of the stop button unit 10 is notified during the AT, and 14 small roles are won in the first game and 15 small roles are won in the second game.

  When the bonus game of BB2 is performed in the initial state, the normal replay A (second replay role) is won at 1 / 7.3, but otherwise it is lost. It should be noted that during the BB2, no small role is drawn, but all the small roles are in an internal winning state. In this initial state, regardless of the replay lottery result (winning or losing), pressing the stop button will always win 15 small roles, so BB2 ends in one game and the net increase is 12 (payout medal) 15 sheets-3 inserted medals).

Similarly, in the RT1 state (normal replay state), the normal replay A or RT2 transition replay (both in the second replay role) is won internally at 1 / 7.3, and the stop button unit 10 is pressed forward and backward (anomalous push). ), 15 small roles win, so BB2 ends in one game. In addition, each of RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay (both corresponding to the first replay combination in the normal replay state) wins an internal win at 1/3000, and in that case, 14 small roles win by pushing forward, BB2 does not end with one game and the second game is played. Although the RT1 state is non-AT, if any of RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay is internally won in the first game of BB2, the control unit (the main control unit 100 and / or the sub control unit 160) pushes forward. Suggest (or instruct or not instruct) and instruct the right push on the second game. In addition, when any of RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay is internally won during BB2, the intense AT effect is performed and AT is determined. Note that the first replay role and the second replay role described above may differ only in the type of the replay role won internally, but for example, the 10 replay roles shown in FIG. The combination of roles may be different.

  Furthermore, when the RT6 transition replay (second replay combination) is internally won at 1/200, 15 small combinations are won by pressing forward, so BB2 ends in one game. As a result, in the RT1 state, the net increase can be limited to 12 sheets with a probability of 999/1000. In other words, even if the BB2 is frequently won in the RT1 state which is the normal gaming state, there is a specific effect that the payout can be forcibly kept low.

  Similarly, in the RT2 state, the RT1 transition replay or RT3 transition replay (both in the first replay role) is an internal winning (may be the simultaneous winning of both replays) at 1 / 1.5, and pushes forward (first operating procedure). In this case, BB2 does not end with one game and the second game is played. However, if a right push (second operation procedure) is performed in the first game, 15 small roles are won, and in this case, BB2 ends in one game.

  If the AT is in the RT2 state during AT (so-called ART), the control unit suggests a forward push in the first game and instructs a right push in the second game. On the other hand, if it is non-AT in the RT2 state, even if the 14th small combination can be won by pushing forward in the first game, a right push is instructed and BB2 is forcibly terminated in one game. If the player presses the button against this right-pressing instruction, the second game can be played. However, in that case, the control unit gives a large penalty such as not performing an ART lottery. As a result, it is negative for the player.

  On the other hand, in the RT2 state, 1/3 is lost, and in that case, BB2 ends in one game. As a result, if BB2 is elected during the AT in the RT2 state, a net increase of about 19.3 medals (23 × 2/3 + 12 × 1/3) can be expected. Further, since a right push is instructed during non-AT, the net increase is 12 sheets, and it is possible to make a large difference in the number of payouts during AT and during non-AT. In other words, in addition to the ART technology that only increases with the conventional push order small part, by providing the BB2 having the AT small part function, the net acceleration rate can be significantly improved during the ART. effective.

  Similarly, in RT3 state, normal replay B (first replay combination) is elected internally at 1 / 1.5, and 14 small roles are won by pushing forward. In this case, BB2 ends in one game. Without a second game. The RT3 state is generally an ART state, and the control unit suggests a forward push in the first game of BB2, and instructs the right push in the second game. In addition, each of RT4 transition replay or RT5 transition replay (both first replay roles) wins an internal winning at 1/200, and the control unit gives the same instruction. On the other hand, in the RT3 state, losing occurs at 1/3, and BB2 ends in one game. As a result, if BB2 wins during the AT in the RT3 state, a net increase of about 19.3 medals can be expected. Since the RT4 state and the RT5 state differ from the RT3 state only in the type of RT transition replay that is won internally, the above description is cited.

  Similarly, in the RT6 state, the normal replay A (second replay combination) wins internally at 1 / 7.3, and the 15 small combinations win by pressing forward, so BB2 ends in one game. Also, each of RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay (both first replay roles) wins an internal win at 1/200, and in this case, 14 small roles win by pushing forward, so BB2 ends in one game Without a second game. Although the RT1 state is non-AT, if any of RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay is internally won in the first game of BB2, the control unit suggests a forward push and instructs the right push in the second game. In addition, when any of RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay is internally won during BB2, the intense AT effect is performed and AT is determined.

  FIG. 110 is a normal game outline diagram.

  The main control unit 100 performs all of the ART lottery, and controls the effects by the main reels (the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c) according to the lottery result. The ART lottery opportunities are (1) 2 bonuses, (2) 1 bonus (white 7), and (3) Red 7 (when RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay is activated).

  The sub-control unit 160 displays a normal screen on the display effect device 11, and when the main control unit 100 activates the bonus 2, a chance screen is displayed and the start lever 9 of the next game is started (lever ON). The main control unit 100 performs a freeze effect by the main reel. When ART is elected, it shifts to ART, while ART is lost and returns to the normal screen. When the main control unit 100 activates the bonus 1, the sub control unit 160 displays a large chance screen, and thereafter displays and operates in the same manner. When the main control unit 100 activates the RT3 transition replay to the RT5 transition replay and aligns red 7, the ART is determined.

  FIG. 111 is a schematic diagram of the chance effect.

  The sub-control unit 160 displays a chance screen when the main control unit 100 activates the bonus 2 at the third stop (see FIG. 111A). When the combination of symbols for which bonus 2 is activated is displayed, the main control unit 100 recognizes that the red 7 symbols are aligned in a straight line outside the frame of the display window (one above the upper level). Yes. The main control unit 100 refers to the first game (first game) that has shifted to this gaming state, performs a freezing effect by the main reel at the start operation of the start lever 9 of the next game, and the stop button unit 10 Disable the operation.

  The main control unit 100 causes the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b to be pseudo-stopped to the center line after rotating the drum unit 2 a predetermined number of times, and the sub-control unit 160 synchronizes with this rotation and stop. The display effect device 11 is made to stop the red 7 symbol. Further, during the pseudo stop of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b, the red 7 symbols vibrate up and down (see FIG. 111 (B)). If ART is unsuccessful, the red 7 symbol of the right drum 2c vibrates and stops at the lower stage, the red 7 symbol of the display effect device 11 also stops, and finally the red 7 symbol together. They are not aligned (see FIG. 111C). On the other hand, when the ART is won, the red 7 symbol that continues to vibrate and the red 7 symbol of the display effect device 11 are also stopped in a straight line (see FIG. 111D), and the freeze effect ends. Thereafter, all the reels rotate again at a constant speed, and the operation of the stop button unit 10 becomes effective (see FIG. 111 (E)).

  FIG. 112 is a schematic diagram of the 7RUSH effect.

  When the main control unit 100 activates any one of the RT3 transition replay to the RT5 transition replay in the third stop, the sub-control unit 160 aligns the red 7 symbols of the display effect device 11 in a straight line and stops the number of ART games. 50 games are displayed (see FIG. 112A). When the main control unit 100 performs the 7RUSH lottery and wins, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub-control unit 160 to that effect and performs the 7RUSH freeze effect. When one of the RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay is activated, the main control unit 100 refers to the first game (first game) in which the gaming state transitions to RT3 to RT5 (a plurality of different AT gaming states). Then, when the start lever 9 of the next game is started, a 7RUSH freeze effect is performed by the main reel, and the operation of the stop button unit 10 is invalidated.

The main control unit 100 rotates the drum unit 2 so that it is aligned upward (see FIG. 112 (B)), stops the red 7 symbols that continue to vibrate in alignment with the central line, displays them on the window unit 3, and adds the ART. 50 games corresponding to the number of games are displayed (see FIG. 112C). This display is repeated as many times as the winning number, so the player feels excitement and excitement. On the other hand, when 7RUSH is not properly selected or when 7RUSH ends, the drum unit 2 is rotated in the forward direction (see FIG. 112D). In order to cancel these freeze effects, the MAX bet button may be operated during the effects. Also, if an effect of moving the main reel by repeatedly hitting the MAX bet button is installed, the player feels extremely hot. Further, if the stop button is pressed during the reel production, the 7 red symbols may be aligned.

  Improvement of Embodiment 2: The drum symbol arrangement is the same as in FIG.

  FIG. 127 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of game medals inserted.

  The first line of FIG. 127 (B) is an effective line when a predetermined number of game medals are inserted in a normal state, and in the order of left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c (middle stage, middle stage, middle stage: Only the center horizontal line) is valid. On the other hand, the other lines are effective lines when a prescribed number of game medals are inserted when the bonus (type 2 BB) is activated, the second line (upper, middle, upper: V-shaped line) and the third line Two of the lines (lower, middle, upper: right-up line) are valid.

  FIG. 128 is a payout table at the normal time and at the time of bonus operation. Although only the points different from FIG. 107 will be described, Bonus 2 (second-type accessory continuous operation device) is eliminated.

  When all three reels (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. 127).

  (1) Bonus 1 (second-type accessory continuous operation device): left drum 2a (white 7), middle drum 2b (white 7), right drum 2c (white 7) aligned on the active line and stopped Then, the acquired number is 0, and bonus 1 (BB1) is given thereafter. This bonus 1 ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/250, the prescribed number of games inserted in bonus 1 is two, and the number of payouts exceeds 210. When the bonus 1 is won internally by the lottery and the bonus 1 flag is set, the bonus 1 can be established. This bonus 1 is a variable display game in which the bonus combination is not internally won, and is won internally or simultaneously with special replay (RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay). This can be achieved by operating the stop switch with the white 7 symbol on the reel. Therefore, the player aims at white 7 as a DDT point and performs a stop operation.

  This bonus 1 does not change (transfer) the replay state (maintains the current RT state) even if an internal winning, a symbol is displayed, or the operation is completed, so the RT2 state in the ART state is particularly effective. After playing the bonus 1 game in the RT5 state, it is possible to return to the same high probability replaying state again. As a result, the bonus 1 can be released while maintaining the ART state. In the bonus game after the bonus 2 is activated, the replay role is drawn by lottery. However, even if the lost or replay role is won internally, the non-red 7 small role or red 7 Win one of the small roles and pay out 15 medals. In the case of a loss, it is common to win a non-red 7 small combination. In other words, in the variable display game after the bonus 1 is activated, the red 7 small role (specific symbol small role) or the non-red 7 small role (non-specific symbol small role) depending on the type or combination of the winning replay role Are going to win.

  FIG. 129 is a schematic diagram showing a symbol display state of the window.

  The main control unit 100 is a variable display game (bonus game) after the bonus 1 is activated, and if any of RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay (or different combinations of replays selected at the same time) is won internally by lottery, The pull-in control is performed so that the seven small combinations are stopped on the active line (in the case of the figure, on the third line). Since only the left drum 2a is controlled to slide by one frame, it is necessary for the player to aim at the target.

  FIG. 129 (A) shows a state in which the rhombus (purple) is stopped on the effective line of the left drum 2a by the player operating the left stop button 10a in the first stop. In this state, the red 7 symbol stops on the first line although it is an invalid line.

  FIG. 129 (B) shows a state where the red 7 symbol is stopped on the effective line of the middle drum 2b by the player operating the middle stop button 10b in the second stop. In this state, two red 7 symbols stop on the first line although it is an invalid line.

  FIG. 129 (C) shows a state in which the rhombus (purple) is stopped on the active line of the right drum 2c when the player operates the right stop button 10c in the third stop, and the red 7 small combination wins. Pay out 15 cards. In this state, three red 7 symbols are aligned on the first line but stopped on the first line, and the ART is determined, and the number of stocks is selected in the range of 1-16. That is, when the red 7 symbols (specific symbols) are stopped in a straight line, the ART winning is notified to the player. Even if the red 7 symbols are not aligned due to a mistake in pressing the left stop button 10a, the ART is determined internally.

  FIG. 130 is a game state transition diagram. FIG. 131 is a correspondence table of probabilities that a red 7 small combination is established in the RT state when bonus 1 is won.

  The general game starts in the initial state (also referred to as “initial replay state”) from the next game in which the RAM is cleared or the next game in which the stage setting values are re-entered. In this general game, the replay probability is about 1 / 7.3, and in order to get out of this state, the above-mentioned small part of the push order must be displayed on the active line. In addition, even if Bonus 1 is internally won, activated (symbol display), or ended, the gaming state does not change, so it remains in the initial state. When bonus 1 is won in this initial state, a plurality of types of replay roles are drawn in the bonus game, but the probability of winning the special replay role in which the red 7 small role wins is 1/200, and after the bonus game ends Return to the initial state.

  In the general game in the initial state, when the push order small combination is won internally, and the stop operation procedure (order or timing) of the stop button 10 is mistaken, if the embroidery symbol is displayed on the active line, the RT1 starts from the next game. It becomes a state (the number of continuing games is not fixed, that is, infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, and random numbers are drawn including all the combinations shown in FIG. 128, so that one or a plurality of combinations can be won 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 stays is in the RT1 state. If Bonus 1 is won in this RT1 state, multiple types of replay roles will be drawn in the bonus game, but the probability of winning the special replay role in which the Red 7 small role wins is 1/200. Return to RT1 state.

When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is activated in the RT1 state, the RT2 state (high probability replay state) in which the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.5 is obtained. On the other hand, in the RT2 state, when the squeeze of the push order small combination is displayed on the active line, the state falls to the RT1 state. In the ART state in which the assist function is activated, the push order in which the push order small combination wins is notified (navigated). If Bonus 1 is won in this RT2 state, multiple types of replay roles will be drawn in the bonus game, but the probability of winning the special replay role in which the red 7 small role wins is 1/100. Return to RT2 state.

  When the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won in the RT2 state and activated, the RT3 state (high probability replay state) in which the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.5 is obtained. On the other hand, in the RT3 state, when the squeeze of the push order small combination is displayed on the effective line, the state falls down to the RT1 state at once. In the ART state in which the assist function is activated, the push order in which the push order small combination wins is notified (navigated). When bonus 1 is won in this RT3 state, a plurality of types of replay roles are drawn by lottery during the bonus game, but the probability of winning a special replay role in which a red 7 small role wins is 1/50. Return to RT3 state.

  When the RT4 transition replay (replay 4) is activated in the RT3 state, the RT4 state (high probability replay state) is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.5. On the other hand, in the RT4 state, when the squeeze of the push order small combination is displayed on the effective line, it falls down to the RT1 state at once. In the ART state in which the assist function is activated, the push order in which the push order small combination wins is notified (navigated). When bonus 1 is won in this RT4 state, a plurality of types of replay roles are drawn in the bonus game, but the probability of winning a special replay role in which the red 7 small role wins is 1/25. Return to RT4 state. In the RT3 state, RT5 transition replay can also be won.

  When the RT5 transition replay (replay 5) is activated in the RT4 state, the RT5 state (high probability replay state) is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.5. On the other hand, in the RT4 state, when the squeeze of the push order small combination is displayed on the effective line, it falls down to the RT1 state at once. In the ART state in which the assist function is activated, the push order in which the push order small combination wins is notified (navigated). If bonus 1 is won in this RT5 state, a lot of types of replay roles will be drawn in the bonus game, but the probability of winning the special replay role in which the red 7 small role wins is 1/5. Return to RT5 state. In the RT4 state, RT3 transition replay can also be won.

  The RT5 state is a so-called heaven state, and the RT3 transition replay or the RT4 transition replay is internally won. If the normal replay is activated by notifying the push order operation by the AT function, the fall can be avoided.

  That is, the variable display game is performed in the initial replay state, the normal replay state, or the plurality of AT replay states, and the main control unit 100 does not finish even if the bonus combination is won internally, the operation symbol is displayed, or the operation is finished. Also, without changing the replay state, it returns to the replay state when the bonus combination is won internally. In the normal replay state and the AT replay state, a lottery table is stored so that the types and combinations of winning replay roles are different. As shown in FIG. 131, in the initial state and the normal replay state (RT1), a red 7 small role is stored. The probability of winning a special replay role that wins is 1/200. On the other hand, in the AT replay state, RT2 <RT3 <RT4 <RT5. If a special replay role is won during the bonus game, the red 7 symbols can be aligned in a straight line. If the red 7 small combination is (red 7 symbol, red 7 symbol, red 7 symbol), it becomes possible to align the red 7 symbol in a straight line on the upper right. When the 7 red symbols are complete, the AT stock and the number of AT games will be confirmed. The control unit means the main control unit 100, and the main control unit 100 and / or the sub control unit 160 controls the AT function.

Improvement 2 of Example 2:
In the improvement 1 of the second embodiment, either the red 7 small role or the non-red 7 small role is won during the bonus 1 bonus game. However, in the improvement 2, the white 7 small role is awarded during the bonus 2 bonus game. Alternatively, it is different in that either one of the non-white 7 small roles is awarded and 15 medals are paid out. However, the technical idea is already disclosed in the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the improvement 1 of the second embodiment. The white 7 symbol, red 7 symbol, blue 7 symbol, bar symbol, etc. are referred to as production symbols. The “white 7” symbol is aligned with the white 7 miniature role, and the “red 7” symbol is aligned with the red 7 minor symbol. Are collectively defined as “production symbol small part”. However, there is no difference between the three reels having white symbols, white symbols, red symbols, etc., which are in effect.

  FIG. 137 is a drum symbol arrangement table. However, although it is the same as FIG. 105, it demonstrates again.

  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.

  In each swirl belt, only the left drum 2a is different, and 20 symbols in which the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c are arranged in the same manner are drawn, and bonus 1 as a big bonus (first type BB or second type BB: “White 7” of the symbol that the actuating equipment continuous action device) operates, “Red 7” of the symbol that shifts the gaming state to RT3, and six rhombus symbols of red, blue, green and white purple tea (that is, six different symbols) ) Is drawn. Among these diamond-shaped symbols, when a predetermined predetermined symbol is displayed on the active line, bonus 2 as a regular bonus (second type BB: accessory continuous action device), various replays (no RT fluctuation or various types RT transition replay), a small combination and a push order small combination are activated or won. On the other hand, when the RT1 transition replay is operated or the small combination of the push order is lost and the small combination symbol is displayed on the active line, the state falls to the normal state (RT1 state).

  The “red 7” symbol and the “white 7” symbol also serve as “rendering symbols”. In the freeze state after the start lever 9 is operated until the stop switch is operable, the stop button unit 10 is operated. In the meantime, the main control unit 100 uses the drum unit 2 to perform, for example, a super-at-reel effect in which, for example, three “red 7” symbols and “white 7” symbols are aligned.

  The main control unit 100 determines the number of games (for example, 300 games) or the number of sets (for example, 10 sets for one set of 50 games) to be in the AT state by lottery. When the number of games is 300, the main control unit 100 accurately grasps (recognizes) the rotational position of each drum from the index signals (reference signal or reference position signal) obtained from the rotation sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c. Then, the effect of stopping (or stopping fine movement) is performed by aligning the three “red 7” symbols and “white 7” symbols in a straight line or diagonally. Therefore, it is possible to produce an effect of stopping the production symbols in a straight line regardless of how the reels are stopped.

  FIG. 138 is a symbol combination display determination diagram. However, although it is the same as FIG. 127, it demonstrates again.

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of game medals inserted.

  The first line shown in FIG. 138 (B) is an effective line when a predetermined number of game medals are inserted in a normal state, and in the order of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c (middle stage, middle stage, Only middle line: center horizontal line) is effective. On the other hand, the other lines are effective lines when a prescribed number of two game medals are inserted (or one) when bonus 2 (second type BB) described later is activated, and the second line (upper, middle, Two of the upper line (V-shaped line) and the third line (lower line, middle line, upper line: right-up line) are effective. Therefore, during bonus 1 or bonus 2, the first line is an invalid line. However, the prescribed number is not limited to this.

  FIG. 139 is a payout table at the normal time and at the time of bonus operation.

  When all three reels (or drums) are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operating on the effective line (see FIG. 138) of the window unit 3 (symbol display window). .

  FIG. 139 (A) shows a normal game with a specified number of three.

  (1) Bonus 1 (Type 1 consecutive action device): Left drum 2a (white 7), middle drum 2b (white 7), right drum 2c (white 7) are aligned on the active line and stopped. Then, the acquired number is 0, and bonus 1 (BB1) is given thereafter. For example, the bonus 1 is 1/16000 regardless of the set value, and the bonus 1 ends when the prescribed number of games (bonus game) in the bonus 1 is three and the payout number exceeds 300. When the bonus 1 is won internally by the lottery and the bonus 1 flag is set, the bonus 1 can be established. Bonus 1 is a variable display game in which a bonus combination is not internally won, and is won internally at the same time as a single special replay (RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay) or a rare small role (such as cherry or watermelon). In the case of winning alone, it can be established by operating the stop switch aiming at the white 7 symbols on all reels. Accordingly, the player aims at the white 7 of the left drum 2a as a DDT point and performs a stop operation. The bonus 1 may be a second-type accessory continuous operation device.

  When bonus 1 is won internally, the replay winning probability in the subsequent game fluctuates (shifts) to 1 / 1.5, the combination of bonus symbols is displayed in window 3, and after the bonus game in which bonus 1 is activated, Return to the initial replay state (replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3). When Bonus 1 is won, the ART is finalized (release role).

  (2) Bonus 2 (Type 2 consecutive action device): Left drum 2a (white 7), middle drum 2b (white 7), right drum 2c (red 7) are aligned on the active line and stopped. Then, the acquired number is 0 and bonus 1 (BB2) is given thereafter. This bonus 2 ends when, for example, the winning probability is about 1/200, the prescribed number of games inserted in bonus 2 is two, and the number of payouts exceeds 60. When the bonus 2 is won in the lottery and the bonus 2 flag is set, the bonus 2 can be established.

  Like Bonus 1, Bonus 2 is a variable display game in which no bonus combination is won internally, and it is internal at the same time as a single special replay (RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay) or a rare small role (such as cherry or watermelon). In the case of winning alone, if the stop switch is operated aiming at the white 7 symbol on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b and the red 7 symbol on the right drum 2c, it is established (also called "winning") But if you don't aim, you will miss it. In addition, when bonus 2 is simultaneously won with a small role or replay role during ART, when the push order small role is won internally, a bonus is established if the above bonus symbols are aimed at each reel (BB2 on the active line) Symbol display).

Since this bonus 2 does not change (transfer) the replay state even if the internal winning, the bonus symbol is displayed, or the operation of the bonus combination (that is, the bonus game of BB2) ends, the RT2 state to the RT5 After performing the bonus 2 game in the state, it is possible to return to the same high probability replaying state again. As a result, the bonus 2 can be released while maintaining the ART state. In a bonus game in which bonus 2 is activated, a replay role is drawn in a lottery, but even if the replay role is won internally, a small role is won regardless of the result of the internal lottery (that is, a replay symbol is displayed and replay is performed). The probability of operating is 0). In particular, according to the combination of replays won internally or replays won simultaneously, either a white 7 small role (15 payouts) or a non-white 7 small role (15 payouts), which will be described later, is won. The winning probability of the white 7 small combination can be changed in the RT state (initial state, RT1 state, RT2 state to RT5 state, RT6 state) in which the operation symbols are displayed. If the winning probability of the special replay combination or combination combination of replay is in the initial state <RT1 state <RT6 state <RT2 state <RT3 state <RT4 state <RT5 state, the conditions for establishing the white 7 small role are changed even with the same bonus 2 (Seven change bonuses). In other words, during a bonus 2 bonus game, when a special replay combination or a combination of replays is won, a white 7 small combination is won, and when a normal replay is won, a non-white 7 small combination is won. The winning probability of the special replay combination or combination combination of replay is in the initial state <RT1 state <RT6 state <RT2 state <RT3 state <RT4 state <RT5 state. Therefore, when the bonus 2 is won in the RT5 state, the probability of winning the special replay combination or the combination of replays is the maximum, and the initial state is the minimum. It can be changed.

  (3) Normal replay (ordinary replay): This is a title when a predetermined replay symbol (colored diamond combination symbol) is displayed on the active line for each drum. Since the medals are automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. Normal replay includes two types of normal replay A and normal replay B, and even if these normal replays are activated, the replay probability (RT state) does not change.

  (4) RT1 transition replay (replay 1): This is a title when a predetermined replay symbol (colored diamond combination symbol) is displayed on the active line for each drum, and no medal is obtained for this. However, medals are automatically inserted before the game starts, and the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. The RT1 transition replay is won at the same time as another replay (for example, normal replay or RT3 transition replay) in the RT2 state to be described later, and other replays are activated when the pressing order is correct. Is activated, and the replay probability falls to the RT1 state (the normal replay state in which the replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3). In other words, it is a penalty replay not to capture.

  (5) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): This is the role name when a predetermined replay symbol (colored rhombus combination symbol) is displayed on the active line for each drum, and no medal is obtained for this. However, medals are automatically inserted before the game starts, and the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When the RT2 transition replay is activated, the replay probability changes (transitions) to the RT2 state of about 1 / 1.5. If the AT function is activated while the AT is elected, the operation order of the stop button part for shifting from the RT2 state to the RT3 state is notified by an image and a sound.

  (6) RT3 transition replay (replay 3): The title when (red 7) on the left drum 2a, (red 7) on the middle drum 2b, (red 7) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but since the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When the RT3 transition replay is activated, the replay probability is changed to the RT3 state. When the combination of symbols for which the RT3 transition replay is to be activated is displayed, the RT3 state is entered from the next game, but the main controller 100 determines the reel index signal and the number of input pulses to the step motors 30a to 30c ( (See FIG. 6), the position of the symbol is recognized, and an intense-reel effect is performed in which the “red 7” symbol is aligned. However, the main control unit 100 may refer to or recognize that it is the first game (first game) that has shifted to the gaming state.

(7) RT4 transition replay (replay 4): The title when the rhombus (white) on the left drum 2a, the rhombus (purple) on the middle drum 2b, and the rhombus (purple) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but since the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. It should be noted that three “red 7” symbols are displayed in a horizontal row in the lower part of the drum section, and the player feels as if “red 7” has won, so there is no sense of incongruity. When the RT4 transition replay is activated, the replay probability is changed to the RT4 state. When the combination of symbols for which the RT4 transition replay is activated is displayed, the next game is in the RT4 state, but the main control unit 100 recognizes the symbol position by the reel index signal, and “red 7”. A super-reel production that aligns the design in a straight line. The main control unit 100 may refer to or recognize that it is the first game (first game) that has shifted to the gaming state.

  (8) RT5 transition replay (replay 5): Name when the rhombus (purple) on the left drum 2a, the rhombus (white) on the middle drum 2b, and the rhombus (white) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but since the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. It should be noted that three “Red 7” symbols are displayed in a horizontal row on the upper part of the drum section, and the player feels as if “Red 7” has won, so there is no sense of incongruity. When the RT5 transition replay is activated, the replay probability is changed to the RT5 state. When the combination of symbols for which the RT5 transition replay is to be activated is displayed, the RT5 state is entered from the next game, but the main control unit 100 recognizes the symbol position by the reel index signal, and “red 7”. A super-reel production that aligns the design in a straight line. The main control unit 100 may refer to or recognize that it is the first game (first game) that has shifted to the gaming state.

  (9) RT6 transition replay (replay 6): This is the title when the left drum 2a has a rhombus (purple), the middle drum 2b has a rhombus (white), and the right drum 2c has a rhombus (white) on the active line. On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but since the medal is automatically inserted before the game starts, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When the RT6 transition replay is activated, the replay probability changes to the RT6 state (the replay winning probability similar to the normal replay state is 1 / 7.3). This RT6 state is a so-called chance state, and although the replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3, the above-mentioned RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay are drawn, and if winning, the state changes from RT3 to RT5, and the ART state It becomes.

  (10) Color diamond small combination (non-pressing order small combination): This is the name of a combination when a predetermined color rhombus symbol (color diamond combination symbol) is displayed on the active line on each drum. It becomes a sheet. When the color rhombus small combination is won internally by lottery, regardless of the stop operation order and timing of the stop button unit 10, any one of the 64 types of color rhombus symbols stops on the active line and always wins.

  (11) AT color diamond small combination (push order small combination): When the operation order of the stop button portion 10 is correct (the push order of the stop button portion 10 matches the push order data), a specific color rhombus small combination (for example, 3 rhombuses (green)) must be awarded, but in the case of incorrect answers, when 64 types of colored rhombus small roles are aligned and prized, or when an eye is displayed, or a single role is awarded Means a winning role. Since it is the same principle as the AT small part (push order watermelon) described in FIG. 103, the description is omitted. Also, if Bonus 2 is selected at the same time as a small role or replay role during ART, when the AT color rhombus small role, which is a push order small role, is won internally, the bonus is aimed at all 7 reels. Can be established (BB2 symbol display on the effective line).

  (12) One-piece small combination 1 to one small-piece combination 3: This is a combination of names when a predetermined colored rhombus design (combination of colored rhombus) is displayed on the active line on each drum. (See FIG. 103).

  (13) Coordinates of AT color rhombus small role (1 to n): Special symbols (falling symbols) displayed on the effective line when the AT color rhombus small character is missed When one small combination missing symbol is displayed, the replay probability changes to the RT1 state (the normal replay state where the replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3). In the initial replay state in which the transition is made after the setting is changed or after the bonus game in which bonus 1 is activated, even if this small part missing symbol is displayed, the state transitions to the RT1 state.

  FIG. 139 (B) is in the bonus game of BB2 where the prescribed number is two.

  (14) Non-white 7 small role: This is the name when the predetermined color rhombus symbol (color rhombus combination symbol), white 7 symbol, etc. are displayed on the active line on each drum. It becomes. Even if the non-white 7 small combination wins, the special design symbol (bonus symbol) is not displayed in a straight line.

  (15) White 7 small role: This is the role name when a predetermined color rhombus symbol (color rhombus combination symbol) or white 7 symbol is displayed on the active line on each drum. Become. When the white 7 small role wins, a special design symbol (bonus symbol) is displayed in a straight line when aiming at the white 7 symbol, AT is fixed, and AT stock number lottery or AT game number lottery is performed Is called. Even if the white 7 symbols are not displayed in a straight line, there will be no effect on the number of payouts and AT lottery.

  FIG. 140 is a schematic diagram showing a symbol display state of the window.

  The main control unit 100 is a variable display game (bonus game) in which bonus 2 is activated, and a special replay role (either RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay or a different combination of replays selected at the same time) is won internally by lottery. Then, pull-in control is performed so that the white 7 small combination is stopped on the effective line (in the case of the figure, on the third line). Since only the left drum 2a is controlled to slide by one frame, it is necessary for the player to aim at the target.

  FIG. 140 (A) shows a state in which the red 7 symbol is stopped on the effective line of the left drum 2a by the player operating the left stop button 10a in the first stop. In this state, the white 7 symbol stops on the first line although it is an invalid line.

  FIG. 140 (B) shows a state in which the white 7 symbols are stopped on the effective line of the middle drum 2b by the player operating the middle stop button 10b in the second stop. In this state, two white 7 symbols stop on the first line although it is an invalid line.

  FIG. 140 (C) shows a state in which the player has operated the right stop button 10c at the third stop, and the red 7 symbol has stopped on the effective line of the right drum 2c. Win a prize and pay out 15 cards. In this state, three white symbols on the first line are stopped on the first line, but the ART is fixed and the number of stocks is selected in the range of 1 to 32. That is, the ART winning is notified to the player by stopping the white 7 symbols (design for presentation or BB1 symbol) in a straight line. Even if the red 7 symbols are not aligned due to a mistake in pressing the left stop button 10a, the ART is determined internally. In addition, although the white 7 symbols (BB1 symbol) of the effect design are stopped side by side on the central line of the horizontal straight line, the effect design symbol may be stopped on the upper or lower horizontal straight line or the oblique horizontal straight line.

FIG. 141 is a game state transition diagram. FIG. 142 is a correspondence table of the winning probability of the replay role to be drawn during the bonus game of BB2 and the probability that the white 7 small role is established (see FIGS. 108 and 109). As described with reference to FIG. 139 (B), the small combination to be won during the bonus game of BB2 is either the white 7 small combination or the non-white 7 small combination, and the number of payouts is 15 in both cases. Since the bonus game of BB2 ends with a payout number exceeding 60, 5 games are played. Note that the red seven small combination shown in FIGS. 128 and 129 can be used instead of the white seven small combination.

  The general game starts in the initial state (also referred to as “initial replay state”) from the next game in which the RAM is cleared or the next game in which the stage setting values are re-entered. In this general game, the replay probability is about 1 / 7.3, and in order to get out of this state, the above-mentioned small part of the push order must be displayed on the active line. In addition, even if Bonus 1 is won, activated (symbol display), or ended, the gaming state does not change, so it will continue to remain in the initial state until the push order small portion is missed. In this initial state, when bonus 2 is won internally and the BB2 symbol is displayed (BB2 winning or BB2 operation), multiple types of replay roles are drawn in the bonus game according to the gaming state, but the white 7 small roles are won. The probability of winning a replay role (hereinafter referred to as “directing replay role”) is 4.11% (1 / 7.3 × 3/10), and the gaming state at the time of internal winning after the BB2 bonus game ends Return to the initial state.

  Normal replay A consists of normal replay A1 (winning probability 1 / 7.3 × 7/10) and normal replay A2 (winning probability 1 / 7.3 × 3/10) that is a replay role, and is BB2 If the normal replay A2 is won during the bonus game, the white 7 small combination can be won. For example, for normal replay A1, only normal replay A will be won, while for normal replay A2, normal replay A and RT3 replay will be won at the same time, but in normal games (non-bonus games) Only Replay A. Note that it is very rare for BB2 to win an internal prize in a short time after the setting change or after the bonus game of bonus 1 is finished, until the squeeze of the push order small part is displayed on the active line. The winning probability of A2 (direction replay role) is increased.

  In the initial general game, the push order small combination is won internally, and the stop operation procedure (order and timing) of the stop button 10 is mistaken, so that when the embroidery symbol is displayed on the active line, the RT1 state (continuation game) The number is not fixed, that is, infinite.) And the next game is played. The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, random lottery including all the combinations shown in FIG. 139 (A) is performed, and one or a plurality of combinations can be won 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 most of the normal games in which the player stays are in the RT1 state.

  Normal replay A or RT2 transition replay is from normal replay A1 where normal replay A is elected alone and always wins, or normal replay A2, RT2 transition replay, and normal replay A2 that is elected simultaneously with other replay roles for push order control Become. The normal replay A2 is a role in which the normal replay A wins an incorrect answer while the RT2 transition replay wins if the pressing order is correct. When the AT combination is won in the lottery, the control unit (main control unit or sub-control unit) notifies the push order in which the RT2 transition replay wins. As described above, if replay A2 wins with probability 1 / 7.3 x 1/32 of replay win probability 1 / 7.3, and push order replay A2 wins during BB2 bonus game, white Seven small roles win. In addition, even if RT3 transition replay to RT6 transition replay (direction replay role) are won, the white 7 small role will win, so about 1% during the BB2 bonus game (winning probability 1 / 7.3 × 1/32 + 1 / 3000 × 3 + 1/200), and seven white small roles can be arranged. After the BB2 bonus game ends, the state returns to the RT1 state.

In the RT1 state, when the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won and the push order is correct and the RT2 transition replay is activated, the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.5 (high probability replay state) ) On the other hand, in the RT2 state, when the squeeze of the small order of pushing order is displayed on the active line or when the RT1 transition replay is activated, the RT1 state falls. In the ART state in which the assist function is activated, the push order small combination is notified (navigated) of the push order in which the winning combination or the RT3 transition replay is activated (winning). When bonus 2 is won in this RT2, a plurality of types of replay roles are drawn in the bonus game, but the probability of winning the production replay role in which the white 7 small role wins is 1/16, and the bonus game of BB2 After completion, return to the RT2 state. In other words, even if the BB2 internal winning, the BB2 symbol winning, and the BB2 game are finished, the winning probability of the replay is not changed at all including the type of replay to be won. That is, in BB2, the internal winning or the like is not an opportunity to change the replay probability.

  In the RT2 state, when the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is won internally, and the push order is correct and the RT3 transition replay wins (activates), the RT3 state (high probability) has increased to about 1 / 1.5. Re-playing state). On the other hand, in the RT3 state, when the squeeze of the push order small combination is displayed on the effective line, the state falls down to the RT1 state at once. In the ART state in which the assist function is activated, the push order in which the push order small combination wins is notified (navigated). When the bonus 2 is won in this RT3 state, a plurality of types of replay roles are drawn in the bonus game of BB2, but the probability that the production replay role in which the white 7 small role wins is won is the normal replay B winning probability (2 / 3), and returns to the RT3 state after the BB2 bonus game ends.

  The normal replay B consists of a normal replay B1 (winning probability 2/3 × 7/8) and a regular replay B2 (winning probability 2/3 × 1/8) of the production replay role. When Replay B2 is elected, the white 7 small combination wins, but other than that, the non-white 7 small combination wins. For example, normal replay B1 wins only normal replay B, while normal replay B2 wins normal replay B and RT3 transition replay at the same time, but in normal games (non-bonus games) Only Replay B. In addition, even if RT4 transition replay (directing replay role) is won, White 7 small role will win, so during the BB2 bonus game, about 8.83% (winning probability 2/3 × 1/8 + 1/200) is white. Seven small roles can be arranged.

  When the RT4 transition replay (replay 4) is internally won in the RT3 state and the RT4 transition replay is activated, the RT4 state (high probability replay state) is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.5. On the other hand, in the RT4 state, when the squeeze of the push order small combination is displayed on the effective line, it falls down to the RT1 state at once. In the ART state in which the assist function is activated, the push order in which the push order small combination wins is notified (navigated). If bonus 2 is won in this RT4 state, a plurality of types of replay roles are drawn in the bonus game. It is 1/4 of (2/3), and returns to the RT4 state after the bonus game of BB2. In addition, even if RT5 transition replay (directing replay role) is won, the white 7 small role will win, so during the BB2 bonus game, about 17.2% (winning probability 2/3 × 1/4 + 1/200) is white. Seven small roles can be arranged.

When the RT5 transition replay (replay 5) is internally won in the RT4 state and the RT5 transition replay is activated, the RT5 state (high probability replay state) with the replay probability increased to about 1 / 1.5 is obtained. On the other hand, in the RT5 state, when the squeeze of the push order small combination is displayed on the active line, it falls down to the RT1 state at a stretch. In the ART state in which the assist function is activated, the push order in which the push order small combination wins is notified (navigated). If bonus 2 is won in this RT5 state, a plurality of types of replay roles will be drawn in the bonus game, but the probability of winning the production replay role in which the white 7 small role wins is the winning probability of normal replay B or RT3 transition replay It is 1/2 of (2/3), and it returns to the RT5 state after the bonus game of BB2. During the BB2 bonus game, white 7 small roles can be arranged at about 33.3% (winning probability 2/3 × 1/2).

  The RT5 state is a so-called heaven state, and RT3 transition replay or normal replay B is won internally, but if the normal replay B is activated by notifying (notifying) the operation sequence of the stop button unit 10 by the AT function, the fall is avoided. can do.

  When the RT6 transition replay (replay 6) is internally won in the RT1 state and the RT6 transition replay is activated, the RT6 state changes to about 1 / 7.3. On the other hand, in the RT6 state, when the dent of the push order small combination is displayed on the active line, it falls to the RT1 state. This RT6 state is a so-called chance state (chance replay state), and although the replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3, the above-mentioned RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay are drawn, and if winning, the RT3 state to RT5 state is reached. Transition to the ART state. When the assist function is activated in the RT6 state, the push order in which the push order small combination wins is notified (navigated), so the RT6 state can be maintained. When bonus 2 is won in this RT6 state, a plurality of types of replay roles are drawn in the bonus game, but the probability of winning the production replay role in which the white 7 small role wins is the normal replay A2 as described in the initial state. In addition to (winning probability 1 / 7.3 × 3/10), the winning probability of RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay which is three kinds of effect replay roles is 1/200 × 3, which is 5.61%.

  That is, even if the variable display game is performed in the initial replay state, the normal replay state, the chance replay state, or the plurality of AT replay states, the main control unit 100 displays the operation pattern in the window even if the bonus combination (BB2) is won internally. Even if it is displayed or the operation is finished, the replay state is not changed, and the bonus combination (BB2) is returned to the replay state when the internal winning is made (or the replay state is maintained). In each replay state, a lottery table is stored so that the winning probability of the play combination and the type and combination of the replay combination to be selected are different. As shown in FIG. 142, in each replay state, the white 7 small combination wins a prize. Probability of winning the replay role is different. In the AT replay state, RT2 <RT3 <RT4 <RT5. If the effect replay role is won during the bonus game, it is possible to align the white 7 symbols in a straight line, and even with the same BB2, the probability that the effect symbols are aligned according to the AT replay state can be changed. In addition, instead of the white 7 small role shown in FIG. 140 (C), BB2 won if the small role (white 7 symbol, white 7 symbol, red 7 symbol) aligned on the central horizontal line which is an invalid line is selected. It can also look like Further, (red 7 symbol, red 7 symbol, red 7 symbol) can be aligned on the central horizontal line. When the effect replay role in which the effect symbols (BB1 symbol, BB2 symbol, special replay red 7 symbol) are aligned is won, the addition of the AT stock or AT game number is determined.

  FIG. 143 is a schematic diagram of a seven attack effect. Note that FIG. 112 illustrates a similar 7RUSH effect.

  When the main control unit 100 wins the effect replay role during the bonus game of BB2, the number of AT extra games or the number of extra AT sets is selected. The sub-control unit 160 displays “Aim at the white 7” on the display effect device, and when the player operates the stop button unit 10 to align the white 7 symbols in the third stop, the sub-control unit 160 Displays the Seven Attack production screen. Even if the seven white symbols are not aligned, a seven attack effect is performed (see FIG. 143 (A)). Further, when the effect replay combination is won, the number of AT extra games is 50 or more or the number of AT extra sets is 1 or more and is determined by lottery. If a seven rush does not occur after the MAX bet operation and the start operation, a freeze effect is executed in which the stop operation becomes invalid, and the stop operation is validated after displaying the AT additional set number as one set (FIG. 143 (D) reference). Then, if the number of AT added games is at least 50 games or more are determined and displayed by lottery of the sub-control unit 160.

  On the other hand, when a seven rush occurs after each operation, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160 to that effect, performs a 7RUSH freeze effect, and invalidates the operation of the stop button unit 10. It should be noted that the 7RUSH freeze effect is performed when the number of AT added games is 100 or more or the number of AT added sets is 2 sets or more.

  The main control unit 100 rotates the drum unit 2 so that the drum unit 2 is aligned upward, and the sub-control unit 160 displays it on the window 3 while moving it to the center so as to overlap the white pattern slightly shifted (FIG. 143 (B )reference). Note that the rotation direction of the drum unit 2 may be downward as in FIG. 143 (D). The main control unit 100 aligns the white 7 symbols of the drum unit 2 that rotates in reverse in a central straight line and stops or pseudo-stops (fine motion stop). At the same time, the sub-control unit 160 displays the white 7 symbols in an overlapping manner, Thereafter, 7 white symbols are enlarged and displayed on the full screen (see FIG. 143 (C)). For example, if the selected number of AT extra sets is 5, the main control unit 100 performs the 7RUSH freeze effect four times. In other words, one set in FIG. 143 (A) and 4 sets in 4 times of 7 RUSH freeze effects, a total of 5 sets are displayed on the player to make the player feel super hot. In addition, in the case of the number of AT additional games, FIG. 143 (A) shows 50 games and 7 RUSH freeze effects, 4 times, 100 games, 150 games, 200 games, 300 games, and a total of 800 games in FIG. 143 (D Display after the status of).

  FIG. 144 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window and a payout table when the bonus is activated. FIG. 144 (A) shows a state in which an operation pattern of bonus 1 is displayed during a normal game (winning state), and bonus 1 (BB1 game) is awarded from the next game.

  FIG. 144 (B) shows a small combination that is won during the bonus game of BB1 having a prescribed number of three, and a diamond (green) small combination or a white 7 small combination is won and won. . When the number of payouts exceeds 300, the game ends, so 21 bonus games of BB1 are played. Loss may be provided at about 1/8000 to 1/64000. In such a case, after the freeze state is reached for 45 seconds, the red 7 pattern becomes a straight line that rises to the right of the ineffective line by operating the stop button. Displayed, AT granting is confirmed, a large number of AT stocks are confirmed, and the winning rate is increased (about 90%) by adding the number of AT stocks or AT games. In other words, when an additional opportunity is won in the ART state after the end of BB1, the AT stock or the number of AT games is won with the maximum probability, and as a result, medals continue to be given all day.

  (1) Diamond (green) small combination: A combination of rhombus (green) symbols displayed on the active line of each drum. Even if the diamond (green) small role wins, the special design symbol (bonus symbol) is not displayed in a straight line (see FIG. 144 (C)).

  (2) White 7 small role: This is the name when the diamond (green) is displayed on the left drum 2a, the white drum (b) is displayed on the middle drum 2b, and the diamond (green) symbol is displayed on the right drum 2c. , The acquired number will be 15. When the white 7 small role wins, a special design symbol (bonus symbol white 7) is displayed in a straight line going up to the right, AT grant is confirmed, and an AT stock number lottery or AT game number lottery is performed ( 144D). Even if the white 7 symbols are not displayed in a straight line, there will be no effect on the number of payouts and AT lottery.

  FIG. 145 is a schematic diagram showing the target game lottery table and the symbol display state of the window.

The main control unit 100 determines whether or not to perform the hitting game by lottery using the hitting game lottery table shown in FIG. The winning probabilities of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c are each 1/9, and the total is 1/3. Accordingly, one of the left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c wins and plays a hit game with a probability of 1/3, while 2/3 is lost. Since one bonus game (BB1 game) is played at least 21 times, the hit game is executed 7 times (21 times × 1/3) on average. In addition, the guaranteed number of times is determined at least five times, and the hit game is forcibly won according to the remaining payout number of one bonus game. In other words, the game is changed to the target game lottery table in which the winning probability of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, or the right drum 2c is 1/3, and any one is determined at 100%. In short, the lottery is performed according to the hit game lottery table with no loss shown in FIG.

  When the bonus control 1 is won (see FIG. 145 (B)) and the main control unit 100 starts operation after inserting a specified number of medals by the MAX bet operation, the main control unit 100 executes the above-described lottery and starts the hitting game. Decide whether or not to do. When the hit game is not played, the main control unit 100 performs the lottery in the bonus 1 game without performing the freeze effect, and makes the rotation speeds of the three reel drums constant (FIG. 145 (C )), The operation of the stop button unit 10 is validated. In most cases, the diamond (green) small role is won and the diamond (green) small role is won regardless of the stop operation of the stop button portion 10 (see FIG. 145 (D)). Thereafter, FIG. 145 (C) to FIG. 145 (D) are repeated in one bonus game. On the other hand, when the white 7 small combination is won, the display effect device 11 displays “Aim at white 7” and notifies that by voice (see FIG. 144D for the winning mode). Of course, the “aiming for white 7” effect may be a gaze notification.

  FIG. 146 is a schematic diagram showing a symbol display state of the window.

  The main control unit 100 determines whether or not to perform the hitting game by lottery using the hitting game lottery table shown in FIG. As an example, description will be made assuming that the middle drum 2b is won.

  The main control unit 100 executes the role lottery in the bonus 1 game, and when the middle drum 2b is determined by the lottery in the target game, the sub control unit 160 performs the middle drum 2b and the target game / freeze effect. Outputs the hit game start command. When the sub-control unit 160 receives the middle drum 2b and the target game start command, the sub-control unit 160 displays the title “Target game start” on the display effect device 11 and waits for the elapse of 3 seconds. The main control unit 100 vibrates the three reel drums up and down almost simultaneously with the title display, and prompts the player to operate the stop button unit 10 (see FIG. 146 (A)). When any one of the stop button units 10 is operated before 3 seconds elapses, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160 of the stop button unit 10 (for example, the right stop button 10c) selected by the player. To do. On the other hand, when the player does not select the stop button unit 10 until 3 seconds elapses, the sub-control unit 160 is notified of the left stop button 10a, assuming that the predetermined left stop button 10a has been selected. That is, when the time is up, the left stop button 10a is automatically selected, but in any case, the winning probability is 1/3. In addition, during the hit game / freeze production, the operation of the stop button unit 10 is accepted, but the operation is irrelevant to the regular variation display game.

  Upon receiving the notification of the selected stop button unit 10 (in this case, the right stop button 10c), the sub-control unit 160 moves the character displayed on the display effect device 11 to the right side of the screen, and the right stop button. It is displayed that the right drum 2c is selected by the operation of 10c. When the left stop button 10a is selected, the character is moved to the left side of the screen, and when the middle stop button 10b is selected, the character is moved to the center of the screen.

When one second has elapsed from the time-up, the main control unit 100 first fluctuates the selected middle drum 2b (see FIG. 146 (B)), and then the rotation speed of the three reel drums is about 80 rpm. Control is performed so as to be constant (see FIG. 146 (C)). When the rotation speed becomes constant, the main control unit 100 validates the operation of the stop button unit 10 and selects the diamond (green) small combination (see FIG. 146 (D)) or white small 7 The winning combination (see FIG. 144D) is won. When the positions of the symbols are aligned by looking at the reel index, the rotational speed is kept constant after the positions of the reels are arbitrarily delayed by random delay so as not to assist in pushing.

  The sub-control unit 160 has a stop button unit 10 (in this case, a right stop button 10c) corresponding to the drum unit 2 (in this case, the intermediate drum 2b) determined by lottery in the target game and the drum unit 2 selected by the player. Therefore, since it is different from the right drum 2c), “failure” is displayed on the display effect device 11 to notify that it has lost. On the other hand, assuming that the stop button unit 10 corresponding to the drum unit 2 selected by the player is the middle stop button 10b, the drum unit 2 rotated first matches the drum unit 2 selected by the player. “Success” is displayed on the display effect device 11 to notify that a hit has been made.

  In the state of FIG. 146 (D), the main control unit 100 executes the lottery described above to start the hitting game when the player performs a start operation after inserting a prescribed number of medals by the MAX bet operation. If the hit game is not performed, the role lottery is executed in the bonus 1 game, the rotation speed of the three reel drums is made constant, and the operation of the stop button unit 10 is made effective (that is, 146 (C) to 146 (D) are repeated. On the other hand, when one of the three reels of the drum unit 2 is determined by the hitting game lottery, FIG. 146 (A) to FIG. 146 (D) are repeated.

  As described above, there are 21 bonus games, and the hit game is won by 1/3, so on average, the hit game is played only 7 times. The expected value of success is about 2.33 times. The sub-control unit 160 counts the number of times that the drum unit 2 rotated first in the hit game matches the drum unit 2 selected by the player or automatically selected by the main control unit 100. A lottery table corresponding to the number of counts is stored in the ROM 161, and the sub-control unit 160 executes a bonus grant lottery using the lottery table. For example, when winning in this grant lottery, the number of sets or the number of games that activate the assist function is given as a privilege. As the number of AT sets, the winning rate can be adjusted so that 0 to 10 sets are won. For example, the number of successes is 0 to 1 and the 0 set probability is 95%, the 1 set probability is 3%, the 2 set probability is 1%, the 3 set probability is 0.5%, and the 10 set probability is 0.0001%. . Further, as a privilege, the continuation rate (winning probability) in the assist function lottery is improved. For example, a continuation rate of 30% is gradually improved as a continuation rate, such as 50% → 70% → 85% → 95%. Furthermore, the number of ceiling games that release bonuses is reduced. For example, if the number of ceiling games is reduced from the remaining 1000 games to the remaining 100 games, the bonus is released immediately. In addition, the third bonus that activates the stocked AT function is released all at once. For example, if the AT50 set is stocked, the AT50 set can be continuously released.

  You may prepare 21 lottery tables corresponding to the number of counts. For example, if successful 0 times, the lottery table 0 (winning rate 0.5%) is used for lottery. Similarly, a lottery table 1 (winning rate of 0.75%), a lottery table 2 (winning rate of 1.0%), a lottery table 3 (winning rate of 1.5%), ... as a lottery table 21 (winning rate of 100%) Good. Further, the winning rate may be 100% in the lottery table 7 or more, and the continuation rate, the number of ceiling games, the number of bonuses to be released, etc. may be increased according to the number of counts.

The sub-control unit 160 executes the bonus grant lottery. When the bonus is won, the sub-control unit 160 displays “Great success” on the display effect device 11 after the bonus 1 game ends. After the game is over, “Big failure” is displayed on the display effect device 11. When winning, the number of winning benefits may be displayed on the display effect device 11. For example, “10 AT sets”
And exciting display.

  FIG. 147 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure up to the start of ART by the BB1 game. In addition, although the number of sets of AT function is demonstrated as a privilege provided, it is applicable naturally also to the privilege mentioned above.

  When the operation pattern of bonus 1 is displayed and BB1 is activated during the normal game (see FIG. 144 (A)), the main control unit 100 starts the BB1 game in step S700, and the white 7 small role is played in step S702. It is determined whether or not the internal winning is confirmed. If the white 7 small combination is aimed, the ART confirmed symbol (bonus symbol: see FIG. 144 (D)) is displayed in a straight line, but if the white 7 small combination is won internally regardless of the display, the ART is fixed. .

  When the white 7 small combination is won internally in step S <b> 702, the main control unit 100 transmits a white 7 small combination winning command to the sub-control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 selects an ART lottery table (white 7 small role) in step S714 and performs an ART lottery. In step S716, the number of ART sets is increased within a range of 1 to 10 sets, and the process proceeds to step S712. . That is, since there is no losing, the ART1 set is determined at least.

  When the white 7 small combination is not won internally in step S702, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not to play the hit game by lottery using the hit game lottery table shown in FIG. If not, the process proceeds to step S712. On the other hand, when the hit game is played, the main control unit 100 performs the hit game in a frozen state in step S706, and the drum unit 2 (the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b or the Any one of the right drums 2c) and the drum unit 2 selected by the player (any one of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, or the right drum 2c) are notified. If the two reel drums notified in step S708 match, the sub control unit 160 increments the number of correct answers by one in step S710 and proceeds to step S712. If not matched, the sub control unit 160 proceeds to step S712.

  When the process proceeds to step S712, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the number of payouts exceeds the specified number. If not, the process proceeds to step S700 to continue the BB1 game, and if it exceeds, the process proceeds to step S718. And BB1 is complete | finished.

  When the process proceeds to step S720, the sub-control unit 160 reads a lottery table corresponding to the number of correct answers of the hit game from the ROM 161, performs an AT function lottery (or ART lottery), and proceeds to step S722. As described above, this lottery table becomes easier to win as the number of correct answers in the hit game increases.

  The sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the ART confirmed symbol is displayed in step S722. If it is displayed, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S738 to enter the ART preparation state, and the main control unit 100 plays the variable display game. . After that, through the preparation stage, the ART game is started by winning multiple special replay roles. On the other hand, if the ART confirmed symbol is not displayed, the sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the AT function (ART) is won in the lottery by the hit game in step S724, and if not, step S726 In step S728, the main control unit 100 plays the base game. The mode lottery performed by the sub-control unit 160 is a state that determines the ease of winning the AT function, and the AT function is difficult to win in the order of heaven mode, high probability mode, normal mode, low probability mode, or hell mode. Naturally, in the heaven mode, the ART bonus is released within 32 games, and in the high probability mode, if the ART lottery opportunity is won, the ART bonus is won with a high probability.

If the AT function is won in the lottery based on the hit game in step S724, the sub-control unit 160 performs the precursor game number lottery in step S730. For example, if it is displayed on the display effect device 11 that the AT function lottery is won in step S720, there is no sign of a sign, so there is no sign. The number of precursor games for the ART winning notification is determined between 32 games. If there is no sign in step S732, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S738 to enter the ART preparation state, and the main control unit 100 plays the variable display game. On the other hand, if there is a precursor, when a precursor game is performed in step S734 and the precursor game is digested in step S736, the process proceeds to step S738 to enter the ART preparation state.

  FIG. 148 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for giving an ART in a mission game and a start reel lottery table in a hit game. In addition, although the number of sets of AT function is demonstrated as a privilege provided, it is applicable naturally also to the privilege mentioned above. Further, although the main control unit 100 and the sub-control unit 160 are described separately as control means, it is also possible to control with only one control unit.

  When a lottery opportunity such as a rare small role, chance role (chance) or special replay is won internally during a normal game, a mission game lottery is performed. When the winning lottery is won, a mission-like game is started. The mission game start condition may be after a predetermined number of games have been consumed after the bonus ends. For example, after the bonus ends, the mission-like medium game may be randomly selected every 128 games, or after the number of 1024 games as a ceiling game, the mission-like medium game may be activated. In addition, a lottery may be performed after the regular bonus has ended to determine the number of games to activate the mission-like game. For example, 20% within 64 games, 20% near 128 games, 20% near 256 games,... 1024 games may be 100% (ceiling game).

“Mission” means “duty or mission”, for example, “Achieving 3 hit games and hitting once” is an achievable mission. Is done.

  When the mission game start condition is satisfied, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub-control unit 160 of the number of games (for example, five games) to be played in the mission-like game. In step S800, the sub-control unit 160 determines the clear condition (achievement condition) of the mission-like game and displays it on the display effect device 11 (for example, clears the mission condition in two correct answers during five games). The number of games determined by the main control unit 100 is arbitrary, but it is determined in the range of 1 to 10 times, and the sub control unit 160 determines the number of games notified and the internal mode (the above-mentioned heaven mode, high probability mode, normal Mode, low probability mode or hell mode). If the sub-control unit 160 is in the heaven mode, for example, it is determined that the mission condition is cleared once in 10 games (achieve mission), and if it is in the hell mode, the mission condition is cleared in 3 times in 3 games. To do.

  When the player performs a start operation after inserting a specified number of medals by the MAX bet operation, the main control unit 100 executes a role lottery, and proceeds to step S810 to use the start reel lottery table shown in FIG. 148 (B). In the lottery, one reel drum is determined from the three drum sections 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, or right drum 2c), and the reel drum is notified to the sub-control section 160. Then, the main control unit 100 performs a hitting game in a frozen state (see FIG. 146). If BB1 or BB2 wins internally in this role lottery, the mission clear condition is established, and the number of sets to be added is won with a high probability by lottery.

The main control unit 100 vibrates the three reel drums up and down almost simultaneously with the title display by the sub control unit 160, and prompts the player to operate the stop button unit 10 (FIG. 1).
46 (A)). When any one of the stop button units 10 is operated before 3 seconds elapses, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160 of the stop button unit 10 (for example, the middle stop button 10b) selected by the player. To do. On the other hand, when the player does not select the stop button unit 10 until 3 seconds elapses, the sub-control unit 160 is notified of the left stop button 10a, assuming that the predetermined left stop button 10a has been selected. That is, when the time is up, the left stop button 10a is automatically selected, but in any case, the winning probability is 1/3. In addition, during the hit game / freeze production, the operation of the stop button unit 10 is accepted, but the operation is irrelevant to the regular variation display game.

  Upon receiving the notification of the selected stop button unit 10 (in this case, the middle stop button 10b), the sub-control unit 160 moves the character displayed on the display effect device 11 to the center of the screen, and stops the middle stop button. It is displayed that the middle drum 2b is selected by the operation of 10b.

  When one second has elapsed from the time-up, the main control unit 100 first fluctuates the determined middle drum 2b (see FIG. 146 (B)), and then the rotational speed of the three reel drums is about 80 rpm. Control is performed so as to be constant (see FIG. 146 (C)). When the rotation speed becomes constant, the main control unit 100 validates the normal operation of the stop button unit 10 and controls the drum unit 2 to stop according to the winning lottery result and the operation of the stop button unit 10.

  When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S820, the stop button unit 10 (in this case, the middle stop) corresponding to the drum unit 2 (in this case, the middle drum 2b) determined by the lottery and the drum unit 2 selected by the player Since the button 10b matches the middle drum 2b), “success” is displayed on the display effect device 11 to notify that the answer is correct, and the correct answer is counted up (added) by 1 in step S840. The process proceeds to S830. On the other hand, assuming that the stop button unit 10 corresponding to the drum unit 2 selected by the player is other than the middle stop button 10b, the drum unit 2 rotated first and the drum unit 2 selected by the player are different. “Failed” is displayed on the display effect device 11 and the process proceeds to step S830.

  In step S830, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the number of games in the mission-like game (5 games in this case) has been digested, and if so, proceeds to step S850 while digesting. If not, the process proceeds to step S810, and each step is repeated. In other words, five hit games are always played. However, if the bonus is won internally, this flow is exited, and after the bonus game is over, the process proceeds to S890. In this case, a large amount of AT stock is acquired, and it becomes a heaven state with a high winning probability.

  When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S850, the lottery table corresponding to the correct number of hit games is read out from the ROM 161 regardless of whether the mission is achieved, and the AT function lottery (or ART lottery) is performed. Control goes to step S860. In other words, even if the mission is not achieved, there is a possibility of winning by this lottery, and if the mission is achieved, the lottery will be added and won. This lottery table becomes easier to win as the number of correct answers in the hit game increases, so even if it becomes clear that the analogy mission is not achieved halfway, the player will have a moment when the power is accumulated.

  In step S860, the sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the mission-oriented medium game clear condition (achievement condition) is satisfied (in this case, it is determined whether or not two correct answers have been achieved in five games).

If the clear condition is satisfied, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S890 to enter the ART preparation state, and the main control unit 100 plays the variable display game. After that, through the preparation stage, the ART game is started by winning multiple special replay roles. On the other hand, if the clear condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S870, and the sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the AT function (ART) is won in step S850. If not, the process proceeds to step S880. Then, the main control unit 100 maintains the mode before the mission and plays the base game in the other state. On the other hand, if it is won, the process proceeds to step S890.

  As another embodiment, in the normal game, when the AT function is won in the lottery performed by the main control unit 100, it is possible to intentionally start the mission-like game and to clear the mission without fail. For example, the main control unit 100 sub-controls the number of games (for example, three games) to be played in a mission-like game and the clear condition (one correct answer) when the mission game start condition is satisfied in a state where the AT function is won. To the unit 160. In other words, the mission condition is cleared with one correct answer in three games. In step S800, the sub-control unit 160 displays the clear condition for the mission-like medium game on the display effect device 11 (in this case, the mission condition is cleared once in three correct games).

  When the player performs a start operation after inserting a prescribed number of medals by the MAX bet operation, the main control unit 100 executes a lottery drawing, and proceeds to step S810 to transmit a lose command to the sub control unit 160. This losing command means that an incorrect answer is always made in the hit game, and as a result, the correct answer is not given in the first game.

  The main control unit 100 vibrates the three reel drums up and down almost simultaneously with the title display by the sub control unit 160, and prompts the player to operate the stop button unit 10 (see FIG. 146 (A)). . When any one of the stop button units 10 is operated before 3 seconds elapses, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160 of the stop button unit 10 (for example, the left stop button 10a) selected by the player. To do. On the other hand, when the player does not select the stop button unit 10 until 3 seconds elapses, the sub-control unit 160 is notified of the left stop button 10a, assuming that the predetermined left stop button 10a has been selected.

  Upon receiving the notification of the selected stop button unit 10 (in this case, the left stop button 10a), the sub-control unit 160 moves the character displayed on the display effect device 11 to the left side of the screen and moves the left stop button. It is displayed that the left drum 2a has been selected by the operation of 10a.

  The main control unit 100 determines the starting reel so as to be lost at the same time as the time is up. That is, one reel drum is determined from the middle drum 2b or the right drum 2c, and the reel drum is notified to the sub-control unit 160. When one second has elapsed from the time-up, the main control unit 100 first fluctuates the determined middle drum 2b (see FIG. 146 (B)), and then the rotational speed of the three reel drums is about 80 rpm. Control is performed so as to be constant (see FIG. 146 (C)). When the rotation speed becomes constant, the main control unit 100 validates the normal operation of the stop button unit 10 and controls the drum unit 2 to stop according to the winning lottery result and the operation of the stop button unit 10.

  When the process proceeds to step S820, the sub control unit 160 displays “failure” on the display effect device 11 because the drum unit 2 that has been rotated first is different from the drum unit 2 selected by the player, and the process proceeds to step S830. To do. By performing this twice in succession, it becomes possible to give the player a sense of tension.

  When the player performs a start operation after inserting a prescribed number of medals by the MAX bet operation, the main control unit 100 executes a lottery drawing, and proceeds to step S810 to transmit a winning command to the sub-control unit 160. This winning command means that the correct answer is always made in the hit game, and as a result, the correct answer is obtained in the third game.

  The main control unit 100 vibrates the three reel drums up and down almost simultaneously with the title display by the sub control unit 160, and prompts the player to operate the stop button unit 10 (see FIG. 146 (A)). . When any one of the stop button units 10 is operated before 3 seconds elapses, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160 of the stop button unit 10 (for example, the middle stop button 10b) selected by the player. To do.

  Upon receiving the notification of the selected stop button unit 10 (in this case, the middle stop button 10b), the sub-control unit 160 moves the character displayed on the display effect device 11 to the center of the screen, and stops the middle stop button. It is displayed that the middle drum 2b is selected by the operation of 10b.

  The main control unit 100 determines the starting reel so that the correct answer is obtained simultaneously with the time-up. That is, the middle drum 2b is determined and the reel drum is notified to the sub-control unit 160. When one second has elapsed from the time-up, the main control unit 100 first fluctuates the determined middle drum 2b (see FIG. 146 (B)), and then the rotational speed of the three reel drums is about 80 rpm. Control is performed so as to be constant (see FIG. 146 (C)). When the rotation speed becomes constant, the main control unit 100 validates the normal operation of the stop button unit 10 and controls the drum unit 2 to stop according to the winning lottery result and the operation of the stop button unit 10. This makes it possible to intentionally clear the mission in the third game. In this way, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment that he has gained by himself, as well as a sense of tension.

  FIG. 154 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for giving an ART in a treasure hunt challenge (mission game). In addition, although the number of sets of AT function is demonstrated as a privilege provided, it is applicable naturally also to the privilege mentioned above. Further, although the main control unit 100 and the sub-control unit 160 are described separately as control means, it is also possible to control with only one control unit.

  If a lottery opportunity such as a rare small role, chance role (chance) or special replay is won internally during a normal game, a treasure hunt challenge launch lottery is performed. If you win the launch lottery, a treasure hunt challenge will begin. Otherwise, the treasure hunt challenge start condition may be after a predetermined number of games have been consumed after the bonus has ended. For example, after the bonus ends, the mission-like medium game may be randomly selected every 128 games, or after the number of 1024 games as a ceiling game, the mission-like medium game may be activated. Alternatively, after the regular bonus is over, a lottery may be performed to determine the number of games for which the treasure hunt challenge is activated. For example, 20% within 64 games, 20% near 128 games, 20% near 256 games,... 1024 games may be 100% (ceiling game).

  When the start lever 9 is normally operated after the prescribed number of medals have been inserted and the start condition of the treasure hunt challenge is satisfied, the main control unit 100 sets the reel drum in a frozen state for production in step 900, and in step 910, the plurality of reel drums are frozen. The correct switch is determined from the switches and notified to the sub-control unit 160. As this switch, a settlement button 6, a bet button (one bet button 7 or a max bet button 8), a start lever 9, a stop button unit 10 (a button group of a left stop button 10a, a middle stop button 10b, and a right stop button 10c). It is. Alternatively, special buttons 14 or cross keys (a total of five switches in the center and up / down / left / right) may be used.

The main control unit 100 makes at least one or two or more correct answers by lottery among a plurality of switches, but may make all correct answers in an extreme case. The main control unit 100 is in a freeze state for a maximum of 10 seconds, and if no switch is selected during that time, the predetermined maximum bet button 8 is automatically selected. Further, after 10 seconds, one switch may be automatically selected from all the switches by lottery. By adding a time limit, the player can be thrilled.

  In step 920, the sub-control unit 160 displays the title of the treasure hunt challenge and all the images of the plurality of switches on the display effect device 11, and counts down the remaining time of 10, 9, 8,. At this time, the sub-control unit 160 narrows down the display to a small number of switches including the correct switch according to the gaming state (for example, high probability state) (for example, the two-way display of the max bet button 8 or the start lever 9). ) Or just the correct switch itself. Normally, the sub-control unit 160 displays all the switches on the display effect device 11 as they are, but can also perform a display that intentionally suggests that there is a high possibility of winning. For example, when the correct switch is the middle stop button 10b, the sub-control unit 160 sets the checkout button 6 in blue, the 1 bet button 7 and the max bet button 8 in green, the start lever 9 in red, and the left stop button 10a. If the middle stop button 10b and the right stop button 10c are displayed in rainbow colors, the possibility of winning in this order increases. Since the player selects from the stop button section 10, the player answers correctly with a probability of 1/3. Further, although the winning probability of the number of ART games or the number of ART sets as a privilege is high, the privilege to be received is lowered, while the probability of winning is low, but the privilege to be received can be increased. For example, if the maximum bet button 8 has a winning probability of 50% and the number of bonus ART games is 100, the expected value is 50 games. If the start lever 9 has a winning probability of 10% and the number of bonus ART games is 500, the expected value is 50 games. In other words, by giving each switch a personality (reward tendency), and aiming for stability that the benefits are small but easy to hit, or that the benefits are large but difficult to hit, the gambling is improved and the expected value (Reward) can be made the same.

  When the player operates one of the switches in step 930 or recognizes a switch selected from the plurality of switches due to a time-up of 10 seconds, the main control unit 100 recognizes the sub-control unit 160. Notify the switch. When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step 940 and the recognized switch matches the recognized switch, the main control unit 100 performs a straight line effect in step 950 and gives a privilege in the game in step 960. For example, the benefits include the number of sets or games that activate the assist function, improvement of the continuation rate of the assist function lottery, improvement of the winning number of sets or games of the assist function, decrease in the number of bonus ceiling games, stock One of the bonus releases that are. On the other hand, if the switches do not match in step 940, a lost effect is performed in step 970, and a normal game is played in step 980.

  The straight line effect and the loss effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 151 and 152. FIG. The main control unit 100 outputs a freeze effect start command to the sub control unit 160. This freeze effect start command includes information on whether or not the straight line effect is correct. When the sub-control unit 160 receives the freeze effect start command, the sub-control unit 160 displays the freeze effect image on the display effect device 11 in consideration of the success or failure of the straight line effect.

  The main control unit 100 recognizes all the symbol numbers of the three reel drums stopped at the reference position by referring to the index, and shakes the three reel drums up and down almost simultaneously with the freeze effect image. Then, after notifying the player that the freezing effect will start, the three reel drums are rotated (see FIGS. 151A to 151B). When the predetermined time has elapsed, the main control unit 100 stops (or pseudo-stops) the left drum 2a. 8 red 7 symbols are displayed in the middle (see FIG. 151C). The sub-control unit 160 also displays a red 7 symbol at a position corresponding to the left drum 2a of the display effect device 11. Similarly, the main control unit 100 stops (or pseudo-stops) the middle drum 2b when a predetermined time elapses. 8 red 7 symbols are displayed in the middle (see FIG. 151 (D)). The sub-control unit 160 also displays a red 7 symbol at a position corresponding to the middle drum 2b of the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 111 (B)).

  Referring to FIG. 152, the main control unit 100 gradually decreases the rotation speed of the right drum 2c when a predetermined time elapses thereafter. The red 7 symbol of 8 is slowly moved downward while shaking up and down from the vicinity of the upper stage (see FIGS. 152A to 152B). At this time, the sub-control unit 160 displays the effect on the display effect device 11 so as to hit the max bet button 8 or the special button 14 or repeatedly. Note that the reel drum is stopped in the same manner regardless of whether the player strikes each button or repeatedly hits it. That is, the display result of the symbol is not affected.

  When the straight control is won, the main control unit 100 stops (or pseudo-stops) the right drum 2c. 8 red 7 symbols are displayed in the middle, and a straight line stop command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160 (see FIG. 152C). The sub-control unit 160 also displays the red 7 symbol at a position corresponding to the right drum 2c of the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 111D). For example, if the main control unit 100 performs lottery of the number of ART games as a privilege and assumes that 400 games are won, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub-control unit 160 that a straight line effect will be performed five times in advance. The sub-control unit 160 selects a split display effect of 400 games, 20 games for the first time, 30 games for the second time, 50 games for the third time, 100 games for the fourth time, and 200 games for the fifth time. Is displayed on the display effect device 11 each time it is received, and finally, a total of 400 games are added and displayed in an exciting manner. Similarly, if the number of privilege ART sets is 5, each time a straight line stop command is received, one set is displayed on the display effect device 11 and finally a total of 5 sets is displayed. This is the same as the 7RUSH freeze effect described with reference to FIG.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 100 is unsuccessful in the straight line effect, the No. 8 red 7 symbols are moved from the middle stage to the lower stage and stopped (see FIG. 152 (D)). The sub-control unit 160 also displays a rhombus symbol (other than the red 7 symbol) at a position corresponding to the right drum 2c of the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 111D). When the straight line effect is won, it is also possible to perform a revival effect, and after the right drum 2c starts to vibrate and vibrate again from the state shown in FIG. 152 (D), FIG. 152 (C). It will be in the state shown in. When the restoration command is first received from the main control unit 100, the sub control unit 160 displays a question mark at a position corresponding to the right drum 2c of the display effect device 11, and the right drum 2c moves up one frame. At the same time, the question mark is exploded and a red 7 symbol is displayed. Further, when performing a revival effect, the effect is displayed on the display effect device 11 so as to hit the max bet button 8 or the special button 14 or repeatedly.

  As a benefit other than the number of AT games or AT sets, the continuation rate (winning probability) in the assist function lottery is improved. For example, a continuation rate of 30% is gradually improved as a continuation rate, such as 50% → 70% → 85% → 95%. Furthermore, the number of ceiling games that release bonuses is reduced. For example, if the number of ceiling games is reduced from the remaining 1000 games to the remaining 100 games, the bonus is released immediately. In addition, the third bonus that activates the stocked AT function is released all at once. For example, if the AT50 set is stocked, the AT50 set can be continuously released.

  FIG. 150 is a schematic diagram showing the straight line effect lottery table and the symbol display state of the window during the BB1 game.

  A case where a straight line effect is performed instead of the hit game performed with the freeze effect described in FIG. 145 will be described.

The main control unit 100 determines whether or not to perform a straight line effect by lottery using the straight line effect lottery table shown in FIG. This straight line effect is a bonus game that starts when BB1 wins, and is a freeze effect that fluctuates three (multiple) reel drums for the effect from the regular operation of the start means until the stop switch is activated. Therefore, it means an intense production of whether or not to stop the red 7 design (design for production) in line with the middle horizontal line. For example, assuming that the generated random numbers are 100 from 0 to 99, the extracted random numbers are lost when 0 to N1, and the freeze effect itself is not performed. When the extracted random number is N1 + 1 to 99, it is won and a freeze effect is performed. When the extracted random numbers are N1 + 1 to N2, the straight line effect is lost, and the red 7 symbols are not aligned. On the other hand, the straight line effect is won at N2 + 1 to 99, and the red 7 pattern drawn on the reel drum is aligned with the central horizontal line and stopped. By adjusting the values of N1 and N2, it is possible to arbitrarily set the occurrence probability of the freeze effect and the occurrence probability of the straight line effect. For example, assuming that N1 is 49 and N2 is 74, the freeze effect is won with one-half probability, and the straight line effect is won with one-half probability. That is, a straight line effect is performed with a quarter probability. The “stop” may be a level at which it can be recognized that the player has stopped, and includes a pseudo stop in which the reel drum is slightly vibrated up and down. It should be noted that it is not limited to the central horizontal straight line that the red 7 symbols are aligned and stopped. For example, an upper horizontal straight line, a lower horizontal straight line, a right-up diagonal line, or a right-down diagonal straight line may be used.

  Referring to FIG. 141, the initial state, the RT1 state, and the RT6 state as the gaming state are normal replay states where the winning probability of the replay role is low. Further, the RT2 state, the RT3 state, the RT4 state, and the RT5 state are high-probability replaying states in which the winning probability of the replay role is higher than that in the normal replay state.

  The main control unit 100 selects either the straight line effect lottery table for the normal replay state or the straight line effect lottery table for the high-probability regame state according to the game state in which BB1 is internally won, and freezes during the bonus game. A lottery of production and straight line production. The straight line effect lottery table in the high probability replay state has a higher probability of winning the freeze effect and the straight line effect than the straight line effect lottery table for the normal replay state. As described above, in the straight line effect lottery table of the high probability replay state, if N1 is 49 and N2 is 74, the freeze effect is won with half probability, and the straight line effect is won with half probability. To do. On the other hand, if N1 in the straight line effect lottery table for the normal replay state is 89 and N2 is 94, the freeze effect is won with a tenth probability, and the straight line effect is won with a half probability. That is, a straight line effect is performed with a probability of one-twentieth. When the freeze effect occurs, half of the red 7 symbols are aligned and stopped. This ratio can be designed arbitrarily.

  There is a difference in the winning probability even among the four high-probability replay states described above, and RT2 state <RT3 state <RT4 state <RT5 state. Specifically, the freeze effect is ½ and straight line effect in RT5 state. Won in 1/4, freeze effect in RT4 state 2/5 and straight line effect won in 1/5, in RT3 state freeze effect in 2/6 and straight line effect won in 1/6, RT2 state And the freeze production is 2/7 and the straight line production is 1/7. Similarly, there is a difference in the winning probability even in the three normal replay states, that is, RT1 state <initial state <RT6 state. Specifically, in the RT6 state, the freeze effect is 2/20 and the straight line effect is 1 / Winning at 20, winning effect is 2/25 and straight line effect is 1/25 in the initial state, freezing effect is 2/30 and straight line effect is 1/30 in the RT1 state. N1 and N2 are stored in the ROM 101 as each straight line effect lottery table, and the main control unit 100 reads out the straight line effect lottery table corresponding to the game state that BB1 has won internally, and each BB1 bonus game (bonus 1 game). Used for lottery for freezing and straight-line effects.

When the bonus control 1 is won (see FIG. 150 (B)) and the main control unit 100 starts operation after inserting a prescribed number of medals by the MAX betting operation, A lottery is executed to determine whether to start a freeze effect and a straight line effect. If the main control unit 100 loses the lottery, after the speed of rotation of the three reel drums is made constant without performing the freeze effect (see FIG. 150C), the operation of the stop button unit 10 is made effective. To do. In most cases, in the role lottery, the diamond (green) small role is won and the diamond (green) small role is won regardless of the stop operation of the stop button portion 10 (see FIG. 150D). In the subsequent bonus 1 game, FIG. 150 (C) to FIG. 150 (D) are repeated. On the other hand, when the white 7 small combination is won, the display effect device 11 displays “Aim at white 7” and notifies that by voice (see FIG. 144D for the winning mode). Of course, the “aiming for white 7” effect may be a gaze notification.

  FIG. 151 is a schematic diagram showing a symbol display state of the window.

  When the main control unit 100 executes the role lottery in the bonus 1 game and wins the freeze effect by the lottery using the straight line effect lottery table shown in FIG. 150 (A), the main control unit 100 outputs a freeze effect start command to the sub-control unit 160. To do. This freeze effect start command includes information on whether or not the straight line effect is correct. Upon receipt of the freeze effect start command, the sub-control unit 160 displays “chance” or “great chance” on the display effect device 11 in consideration of whether or not the straight line effect is appropriate (see FIGS. 111A to 111E). . When the straight line production is lost, for example, “chance” and “great chance” are displayed in a ratio of 9: 1. When the straight line production is winning, “chance” and “large chance” are in a ratio of 1: 2. Is displayed.

  The main control unit 100 recognizes all the symbol numbers of the three reel drums stopped at the reference position by referring to the index, and vibrates the three reel drums up and down almost simultaneously with the chance display. Then, after notifying the player that the freezing effect will start, the three reel drums are rotated (see FIGS. 151A to 151B). When the predetermined time has elapsed, the main control unit 100 stops (or pseudo-stops) the left drum 2a. 8 red 7 symbols are displayed in the middle (see FIG. 151C). The sub-control unit 160 also displays a red 7 symbol at a position corresponding to the left drum 2a of the display effect device 11. Similarly, the main control unit 100 stops (or pseudo-stops) the middle drum 2b when a predetermined time elapses. 8 red 7 symbols are displayed in the middle (see FIG. 151 (D)). The sub-control unit 160 also displays a red 7 symbol at a position corresponding to the middle drum 2b of the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 111 (B)).

  FIG. 152 is a schematic diagram showing a symbol display state of the window.

  The main control unit 100 gradually decreases the rotation speed of the right drum 2c when a predetermined time elapses thereafter. The red 7 symbol of 8 is slowly moved downward while shaking up and down from the vicinity of the upper stage (see FIGS. 152A to 152B). At this time, the sub-control unit 160 displays the effect on the display effect device 11 so as to hit the max bet button 8 or the special button 14 or repeatedly. Note that the reel drum is stopped in the same manner regardless of whether the player strikes each button or repeatedly hits it. That is, the display result of the symbol is not affected.

When the straight control is won, the main control unit 100 stops (or pseudo-stops) the right drum 2c. 8 red 7 symbols are displayed in the middle (see FIG. 152C). The sub-control unit 160 also displays the red 7 symbol at a position corresponding to the right drum 2c of the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 111D). As a result, when the freeze effect is performed in the bonus 1 game and the straight line effect is won, the red 7 symbols (the effect symbols) are stopped and displayed in a straight line on the display window. On the other hand, when the main control unit 100 is unsuccessful in the straight line effect, the No. 8 red 7 symbols are moved from the middle stage to the lower stage and stopped (see FIG. 152 (D)). The sub-control unit 160 also displays a rhombus symbol (other than the red 7 symbol) at a position corresponding to the right drum 2c of the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 111D). When the straight line effect is won, it is also possible to perform a revival effect, and after the right drum 2c starts to vibrate and vibrate again from the state shown in FIG. 152 (D), FIG. 152 (C). It will be in the state shown in. When the restoration command is first received from the main control unit 100, the sub control unit 160 displays a question mark at a position corresponding to the right drum 2c of the display effect device 11, and the right drum 2c moves up one frame. At the same time, the question mark is exploded and a red 7 symbol is displayed. Further, when performing a revival effect, the effect is displayed on the display effect device 11 so as to hit the max bet button 8 or the special button 14 or repeatedly.

  When the main control unit 100 wins the straight line effect and further wins by the 7RUSH lottery, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub-control unit 160 to that effect and performs the 7RUSH freeze effect from the state of FIG. 152 (C). The main control unit 100 rotates the drum unit 2 while aligning it in the upward direction in the same manner as in FIG. 112 (B), aligns the red 7 pattern that continues to vibrate in a central straight line, stops it, displays it on the window unit 3, and adds the ART. 50 games corresponding to the number of games are displayed (see FIG. 112C). This display is repeated as many times as the winning number, so the player feels excitement and excitement. In addition, in the case of the ART additional set number, one set is added each time the vehicle is stopped once, and the total ART additional set number is finally displayed on the display effect device 11. When 7RUSH ends, the drum unit 2 is rotated in the forward direction (see FIG. 112D).

  On the other hand, when 7RUSH is not properly selected, the main control unit 100 starts from the state shown in FIG. 152 (C) or 152 (D), and thereafter sets the rotation speed of the three reel drums at about 80 rpm. The rotation is controlled so as to be constant (see FIG. 146 (C)). When the rotation speed becomes constant, the main control unit 100 validates the operation of the stop button unit 10 and selects the diamond (green) small combination (see FIG. 146 (D)) or white small 7 The winning combination (see FIG. 144D) is won. When the positions of the symbols are aligned by looking at the reel index, the rotational speed is kept constant after the positions of the reels are arbitrarily delayed by random delay so as not to assist in pushing.

  That is, the AT lottery means (assist lottery means) draws the number of AT games or the number of AT sets when winning the straight line effect. When the bonus 1 game is finished, the display effect device 11 and the speaker unit 12 are based on the number of AT games or AT sets stored in the work RAM when the main control unit 100 makes a winning combination in the role lottery. The operation order of the stop switch for winning the push order is notified. As a benefit other than the number of AT games or AT sets, the continuation rate (winning probability) in the assist function lottery is improved. For example, a continuation rate of 30% is gradually improved as a continuation rate, such as 50% → 70% → 85% → 95%. Furthermore, the number of ceiling games that release bonuses is reduced. For example, if the number of ceiling games is reduced from the remaining 1000 games to the remaining 100 games, the bonus is released immediately. In addition, the third bonus that activates the stocked AT function is released all at once. For example, if the AT50 set is stocked, the AT50 set can be continuously released.

  FIG. 153 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure up to the start of ART by the BB1 game. In addition, although the number of sets of AT function is demonstrated as a privilege provided, it is applicable naturally also to the privilege mentioned above.

  When the operation pattern of bonus 1 is displayed during the normal game and bonus 1 is won (see FIG. 150A), the main control unit 100 determines the game state (normal replay state or high level) in which bonus 1 is won internally in step S800. The freeze effect lottery table is selected according to the probability replay state. When the player performs a start operation, the BB1 game is started in step S802, and it is determined in step S804 whether or not the white 7 small combination is internally won and the ART is confirmed. If the white 7 small combination is aimed, the ART confirmed symbol (bonus symbol: see FIG. 144 (D)) is displayed in a straight line, but if the white 7 small combination is won internally regardless of the display, the ART is fixed. .

  When the white 7 small combination is won internally in step S804, the main control unit 100 transmits a white 7 small combination winning command to the sub-control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 selects an ART lottery table (white 7 small role) in step S806, performs an ART lottery, adds the number of ART sets in the range of 1 to 10 sets in step S806, and proceeds to step S810. . That is, since there is no losing, the ART1 set is determined at least. Note that it is also possible to add a ART number game lottery.

  When the white 7 small combination is not won internally in step S804, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S810 and performs lottery using the freeze effect lottery table (straight line effect lottery table) shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not to perform a freeze effect. If not, the process proceeds to step S816. On the other hand, when performing the freeze effect, the main control unit 100 sets the freeze state and proceeds to step S812. When the straight line effect is selected, the main control unit 100 stops displaying the red 7 symbols (effect symbols) in a straight line on the display window ( (See FIG. 152 (C)). At this time, the main control unit 100 selects an ART lottery table (straight line effect) in step S814, performs an ART lottery, adds the number of ART sets (or the number of games) in the range of 1 to 10 sets, and proceeds to step S816. Transition. When multiple sets are selected, the main control unit 100 generates seven rush effects for the number of selected sets, as shown in FIGS. 112 (A) to 112 (C), and aligns the seven red symbols in a straight line on the display window. To stop display. Note that it is also possible to add a ART number game lottery. On the other hand, when the straight line effect is unreasonable, the main control unit 100 causes the effect symbols to be shifted and stopped without being aligned with the display window (see FIG. 152D).

  When the process proceeds to step S816, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the number of payouts exceeds the specified number. If not, the process proceeds to step S802 to continue the BB1 game. And BB1 is complete | finished.

  The sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the ART confirmed symbol (white 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) is displayed in step S820. If it is displayed, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S836 to enter the ART preparation state. The control unit 100 plays a variable display game. After that, through the preparation stage, the ART game is started by winning multiple special replay roles. The display effect device 11 and the speaker unit 12 (notification unit) notify the operation order of the stop switch for winning the internal winning combination in the winning lottery based on the number of winning AT games or AT sets. On the other hand, if the ART confirmed symbol is not displayed, the sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the AT function (ART) has been won in the mission game in the BB1 game or the lottery by the rare small role in step S822. If not, the mode lottery is performed in step S824, and the main control unit 100 plays the base game in step S826. The mode lottery performed by the sub-control unit 160 is a state that determines the ease of winning the AT function, and the AT function is difficult to win in the order of heaven mode, high probability mode, normal mode, low probability mode, or hell mode. Naturally, in the heaven mode, the ART bonus is released within 32 games, and in the high probability mode, if the ART lottery opportunity is won, the ART bonus is won with a high probability.

If the AT function is won in the lottery by the mission game or the rare small role in step S822, the sub-control unit 160 performs the number of precursor games lottery in step S828. For example, if it is displayed on the display effect device 11 that the winning in the AT function lottery is displayed in step S822, there is no meaning in the sign state, so there is no sign, but if there is no notification of the winning, 8 The number of precursor games for the ART winning notification is determined between 32 games. If there is no sign in step S832, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S836 to enter the ART preparation state, and the main control unit 100 plays the variable display game. On the other hand, if there is a sign, when a sign game is performed in step S832, and the sign game is digested in step S834, the process proceeds to step S836 and the ART is being prepared. When the ART is started, the sub-control unit 160 displays the operation sequence of the stop switch for winning the internal winning combination in the combination lottery based on the number of AT games or AT sets that have been won. Notification is made using (notification means).

  FIG. 155 is a schematic diagram showing the straight line effect lottery table and the symbol display state of the window portion during the normal game (normal replay state or high probability replay state).

  A case where it is performed during a normal game will be described instead of the straight line effect performed during the BB1 game described with reference to FIG. The technical idea is the same and has already been disclosed.

  The main control unit 100 is a free play directing lottery role (predetermined role) which is a rare small role called RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay (see FIG. 139), single cho (middle cherries), strong watermelon, chance chance in normal games. When an internal winning is made, it is determined whether or not to perform a straight line effect by a lottery using the straight line effect lottery table shown in FIG. This straight line effect is a freeze effect in which three (a plurality) reel drums are fluctuated for the effect from the normal operation of the start means until the stop switch is activated in a normal game (normal fluctuation display game). Yes, for example, it means an intense production of whether or not white 7 symbols (designs for production) are aligned with the lower horizontal line and stopped. For example, assuming that the generated random numbers are 100 from 0 to 99, the extracted random numbers are lost when 0 to N1, and the freeze effect itself is not performed. When the extracted random number is N1 + 1 to 99, it is won and a freeze effect is performed. When the extracted random numbers are N1 + 1 to N2, the straight line effect is lost, and the seven white symbols are not aligned. On the other hand, a straight line effect is won at N2 + 1 to 99, and the 7 white symbols drawn on the reel drum are aligned on the lower horizontal line and stopped. By adjusting the values of N1 and N2, it is possible to arbitrarily set the occurrence probability of the freeze effect and the occurrence probability of the straight line effect. For example, assuming that N1 is 49 and N2 is 74, the freeze effect is won with one-half probability, and the straight line effect is won with one-half probability. That is, a straight line effect is performed with a quarter probability. The “stop” may be a level at which it can be recognized that the player has stopped, and includes a pseudo stop in which the reel drum is slightly vibrated up and down. In addition, it is not restricted to a lower horizontal straight line that the red 7 symbols are aligned and stopped, for example, an upper horizontal straight line, a central horizontal straight line, a right-up diagonal line, or a right-down diagonal straight line may be used. In a normal game, a straight line effect lottery table corresponding to RT3 transition replay to RT5 transition replay and the above-mentioned rare small role is stored in the ROM 101, and the winning probability of the straight line effect is designed to be different.

  Referring to FIG. 141, the initial state, the RT1 state, and the RT6 state as the gaming state are normal replay states where the winning probability of the replay role is low. Further, the RT2 state, the RT3 state, the RT4 state, and the RT5 state are high-probability replay states (high-probability replay state) in which the winning probability of the replay role is higher than that of the normal replay state.

  The main control unit 100 selects either the straight line effect lottery table for the normal replay state or the straight line effect lottery table for the high probability replay state according to the game state in which the freeze effect lottery opportunity is internally won, During normal games, a freezing effect and a straight line effect are drawn. The straight line effect lottery table in the high probability replay state has a higher probability of winning the freeze effect and the straight line effect than the straight line effect lottery table for the normal replay state. As described above, in the straight line effect lottery table of the high probability replay state, if N1 is 49 and N2 is 74, the freeze effect is won with half probability, and the straight line effect is won with half probability. To do. On the other hand, if N1 in the straight line effect lottery table for the normal replay state is 89 and N2 is 94, the freeze effect is won with a tenth probability, and the straight line effect is won with a half probability. That is, a straight line effect is performed with a probability of one-twentieth. When the freeze effect occurs, half of the red 7 symbols are aligned and stopped. In addition, this ratio can be designed arbitrarily according to the freeze production lottery opportunity. For example, it is designed as follows: single check (middle stage cherry)> RT3 transfer replay to RT5 transfer replay> strong chance eye> strong watermelon> weak chance eye> weak watermelon> horn checker (weak cherry).

  The above-mentioned four high-probability replay states have a difference in winning probability, and a straight line effect is won with a probability of RT2 state <RT3 state <RT4 state <RT5 state. Similarly, even in the three normal replay states, there is a difference in the winning probability, and the straight line effect is won with the probability of RT1 state <initial state <RT6 state. N1 and N2 are stored in the ROM 101 as each straight line effect lottery table, and the main control unit 100 corresponds to the game state in which the freeze effect lottery trigger is internally won and the trigger role in each normal game (non-bonus game). The straight line effect lottery table to be read is read and used for freeze effect and straight line effect lottery.

  When the previous normal game is lost (see FIG. 155 (B)), the main control unit 100 is started after inserting the prescribed number of medals by the MAX bet operation, and the free play effect lottery is performed in this normal game combination lottery. When the opportunity is won internally, the effect lottery using the above-described straight line effect lottery table is executed to determine whether to start the freeze effect and whether to perform the straight line effect. When the main control unit 100 loses the lottery, after the speed of rotation of the three reel drums is made constant without performing the freeze effect (see FIG. 155 (C)), the operation of the stop button unit 10 is made effective. To do. In this case, in the role lottery, the diamond (green) small role is won and the diamond (green) small role is won (see FIG. 150D). In the subsequent normal game, a role lottery is performed and FIG. 155 (C) to FIG. 155 (D) are repeated.

  FIG. 156 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window.

  The main control unit 100 executes the lottery in the normal game, and when the freeze effect lottery opportunity is won internally, the main control unit 100 performs a lottery using the straight line effect lottery table shown in FIG. A freeze effect start command is output to the control unit 160. This freeze effect start command includes information on whether or not the straight line effect is correct. Upon receiving the freeze effect start command, the sub-control unit 160 displays “chance” or “great chance” on the display effect device 11 in consideration of whether or not the straight line effect is appropriate (see FIGS. 111A to 111E). ). When the straight line effect is lost, for example, “chance” and “great chance” are displayed at a ratio of 9: 1, whereas when the straight line effect is won, “chance” and “great chance” are 1: It is displayed at a ratio of 2.

  The main control unit 100 recognizes all the symbol numbers of the three reel drums stopped at the reference position by referring to the index signals index signals from the cylinder sensors 31a, 31b and 31c, respectively, and displays a chance display At substantially the same time, the three reel drums are vibrated up and down to inform the player that the freezing effect starts, and then the three reel drums are rotated (see FIGS. 156 (A) to (B)). When the predetermined time has elapsed, the main control unit 100 stops (or pseudo-stops) the left drum 2a. 2 white 7 symbols are displayed in the lower row (see FIG. 156 (C)). The sub-control unit 160 also displays the white 7 symbol at a position corresponding to the left drum 2a of the display effect device 11. Similarly, the main control unit 100 stops (or pseudo-stops) the middle drum 2b when a predetermined time elapses. 4 white 7 symbols are displayed in the lower row (see FIG. 156 (D)). The sub-control unit 160 also displays the white 7 symbols at a position corresponding to the middle drum 2b of the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 111 (B)).

  FIG. 157 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window.

  The main control unit 100 gradually decreases the rotation speed of the right drum 2c when a predetermined time elapses thereafter. The white 7 pattern of 4 is slowly moved downward while shaking up and down from the vicinity of the upper stage (see FIGS. 157 (A) to (B)). At this time, the sub-control unit 160 displays the effect on the display effect device 11 so as to hit the max bet button 8 or the special button 14 or repeatedly. Note that the reel drum is stopped in the same manner regardless of whether the player strikes each button or repeatedly hits it. That is, the display result of the symbol is not affected.

  When the straight control is won, the main control unit 100 stops (or pseudo-stops) the right drum 2c. 4 white 7 symbols are displayed in the lower row (see FIG. 157 (C)). Further, the sub-control unit 160 also displays the white 7 symbols at a position corresponding to the right drum 2c of the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 111 (D)). As a result, when the freezing effect is performed in the normal game in the normal replay state or the high probability replay state, and the straight line effect is won, the white 7 symbols (the directing symbols) are stopped and displayed in a straight line on the display window. become. On the other hand, when the main control unit 100 is unsuccessful in the straight line effect, the No. 4 white 7 symbols are moved from the middle to the outside of the frame and stopped and displayed (see FIG. 157D). The sub-control unit 160 also displays a rhombus symbol (other than the white 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol) at a position corresponding to the right drum 2c of the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 111D). In addition, when the straight line effect is won, it is also possible to perform a resurrection effect, and the right drum 2c starts to vibrate and vibrate again from the state shown in FIG. Later, the state shown in FIG. When receiving the first restoration command from the main control unit 100, the sub control unit 160 displays a question mark at a position corresponding to the right drum 2c of the display effect device 11, and the right drum 2c moves up two frames. At the same time, the question mark is exploded to display 7 white symbols. In addition, when performing a revival effect, the display effect device 11 is displayed with a fierce hot effect such that the max bet button 8 or the special button 14 is hit or repeatedly hit.

  When the main control unit 100 wins the straight line effect and further wins by the 7RUSH lottery, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub-control unit 160 to that effect and performs the 7RUSH freeze effect from the state of FIG. 157 (C). The main control unit 100 rotates the drum unit 2 while aligning it in the upward direction in the same manner as in FIG. 112 (B), aligns the red 7 pattern that continues to vibrate in a central straight line, stops it, displays it on the window unit 3, and adds the ART. 50 games corresponding to the number of games are displayed (see FIG. 112C). This display is repeated as many times as the winning number, so the player feels excitement and excitement. In addition, in the case of the ART additional set number, one set is added each time the vehicle is stopped once, and the total ART additional set number is finally displayed on the display effect device 11.

  FIG. 158 is a schematic diagram showing a symbol display state of the window. FIG. 158 (A) shows the same state as FIG. 157 (C).

  When ending 7RUSH, the main control unit 100 rotates the drum unit 2 in the forward direction (see FIG. 158 (B)).

  On the other hand, when 7RUSH is not properly selected, the main control unit 100 starts from the state shown in FIG. 157 (C) or FIG. 157 (D), and thereafter sets the rotation speed of the three reel drums at about 80 rpm. The rotation is controlled so as to be constant (see FIG. 158 (B)). When the rotation speed becomes constant, the main control unit 100 validates the regular operation of the stop button unit 10 and stops the symbols won in the lottery drawing by drawing control on the active line, and wins various winning combinations. Let FIG. 158 (C) shows a state where the RT3 transition replay has won a prize after internal winning as a freeze effect lottery opportunity. Similarly, FIG. 158 (D) shows a state in which a single cho (middle stage cherry) has won a prize after an internal win as a freezing effect lottery trigger. On the other hand, in the case of a loss, the main control unit 100 performs kicking control so as not to win. When the positions of the symbols are aligned by looking at the reel index, the rotational speed is kept constant after the positions of the reels are arbitrarily delayed by random delay so as not to assist in pushing.

  That is, the AT lottery means (assist lottery means) is selected in the first freeze effect lottery table (normal replay state) according to the gaming state (normal replay state, high probability replay state) when the freeze effect lottery trigger is internally won. ) Or the second freeze effect lottery table (selected in the high probability replay state). In addition, since there are a plurality of high-probability replay states (see RT2 to RT5 shown in FIG. 141), for example, in the case of high-probability replay state 1, the 2-1 freeze effect lottery table is selected. If it is 2, the 2-2nd freeze effect lottery table is selected, and if it is the high probability replay state N, the 2nd-2N freeze effect lottery table is selected (N is an arbitrary natural number). In the high-probability replay state, the type of replay to be won is different, but the winning probability of replay is almost the same as 2/3 (see FIG. 141).

  The AT lottery means (assist lottery means) draws the number of AT games or the number of AT sets when winning the straight line effect, and then immediately or through the preparation state leads to the ART state. In general, the sub-control unit 160 that controls the display effect device 11 and the speaker unit 12 is based on the number of AT games or AT sets stored in the work RAM when the main control unit 100 makes an internal winning combination by pushing a lottery. Then, the operation order of the stop switch for winning the push order is notified. However, there is no problem even if the main control unit 100 performs the operation. As a benefit other than the number of AT games or AT sets, the continuation rate (winning probability) in the assist function lottery is improved. For example, a continuation rate of 30% is gradually improved as a continuation rate, such as 50% → 70% → 85% → 95%. Furthermore, the number of ceiling games that release bonuses is reduced. For example, if the number of ceiling games is reduced from the remaining 1000 games to the remaining 100 games, the bonus is released immediately. In addition, the third bonus that activates the stocked AT function is released all at once. For example, if the AT50 set is stocked, the AT50 set can be continuously released.

  FIG. 159 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure up to the start of ART in a normal game (normal replay state or high probability replay state). In addition, although the number of sets of AT function is demonstrated as a privilege provided, it is applicable naturally also to the privilege mentioned above.

  When the player performs a start operation during a normal game and makes a freezing effect lottery trigger, the main control unit 100 calls this subroutine. The main control unit 100 selects a freeze effect lottery table in accordance with the game state (normal replay state or multiple high-probability replay state) in which the lottery trigger is internally won in step S900, and in step S910, the freeze effect is generated. Make a lottery. If the freeze effect is not won in step S920, the main control unit 100 ends this subroutine. If the freeze effect is won, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S930. Next, if the straight line effect is not won in step S930, the main control unit 100 ends only with the freeze effect (without performing the straight line effect) in step S940, and if the freeze effect is won, The process proceeds to step S950. The main control unit 100 performs an ART lottery (the number of additional games and the number of additional sets) in step S950, performs a freeze effect and a straight line effect in step S960, and ends. In the state of FIG. 158 (C) or FIG. 158 (D), the player operates the start lever of the next game, and then goes through FIG. 158 (B) and FIG. 157 (A) (B) (C). Or even if it becomes FIG. 157 (A) (B) (D), an excitement, a touch, and a stimulus can be given to a player.

  FIG. 149 is a timing chart of the ART signal output from the external concentration terminal board.

  FIGS. 149 (A) to 149 (B) are ART signals output by the conventional method, and indicate that the ART signal is turned ON / OFF due to an erroneous operation by the player. FIGS. 149 (C) to 149 (D) are ART signals output by the method of the present invention, and indicate that the ART signal does not turn ON / OFF even if the player makes a mistake. The state where the ART signal is ON is a signal indicating that the assist is activated, and the state where the ART signal is OFF is a signal indicating that the assist is not activated.

  The main control unit 100 performs the role lottery in the variable display game and transmits the result of the lottery drawing to the sub-control unit 160, but does not receive any information from the sub-control unit 160. In other words, for example, the sub-control unit 160 does not transmit assist activation information (information on whether or not the assist function has been activated) to the main control unit 100, so that the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the assist function is activated. It is configured not to know.

  The sub-control unit 160 receives the result of lottery from the main control unit 100, and performs an assist function activation lottery (AT stock or AT game number lottery) when an AT lottery opportunity combination is won. When winning in the AT lottery, the sub-control unit 160 activates the assist function to notify the operation order corresponding to the internal winning combination push forward (press forward small role or push forward replay role).

  In the normal probability replay state (RT1 in FIG. 71), the main control unit 100 internally wins the push order replay combination (push order lip 1 to push order lip 5 shown in FIGS. 58 and 70), and performs a predetermined operation. When the stop switch is operated in the order (the operation order advantageous to the player or the correct answer order), the replay 2 shown in FIG. 58 wins and the replay probability increase symbol is displayed on the active line (replay 2 operation). And let the next game be a high probability replay state. If the conventional method is used, the main control unit 100 will receive an ART signal from the external concentration terminal board 170 at time T1 shown in FIG. Is output to ON. A data counter installed near the top of the pachislot machine receives this output and counts up the number of ARTs (ie, adds 1).

  When the stop switch is operated in a predetermined operation order corresponding to the push order small combination (operation order advantageous to the player or correct answer order), the main control unit 100, for example, the bell small combination (in FIG. 58). The indicated FR1) must be awarded. On the other hand, when the stop switch is operated in an unfavorable operation order (an unfavorable operation order or an incorrect answer order for the player) different from the advantageous operation order, the main control unit 100 does not win the bell small part, A small combination for push order control (for example, a small combination of FR2 to FR28 shown in FIG. 58) is missed with a high probability, and a small combination Koboshi (replay probability decreasing symbol) is displayed on the active line, or Win one of the small Plum winning internals with a low probability. When the main control unit 100 displays the small role Koboshi in the high probability replay state, the next game is set to the normal probability replay state, and the ART signal is turned off from the external concentration terminal board 170 at time T2 shown in FIG. Output to. The data counter receives this output and displays the ART end state (for example, turns off the illumination). In other words, FIG. 149 (A) shows that when the sub-control unit 160 does not activate the assist function and the push order replay role is won internally, the player is prohibited from performing an operation (penalty operation) or accidentally, Even if the replay 2 is won, the main control unit 100 outputs the ART signal to ON, so that the data counter displays that the AT has been won once more. As a result, there is a problem that the player cannot obtain correct information on the number of ATs.

  In FIG. 149 (B), when the sub-control unit 160 activates the assist function, when the push order replay combination is won internally, the stop switch is operated in the operation order as notified by the player, It shows that the replay 2 was won. Since the main control unit 100 outputs the ART signal to ON at time T3, the data counter correctly counts up the number of ARTs. However, after that, when the push order (push order small role or push order replay role) is won internally, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the operation order, but the player is mistaken for the small role. When winning the eye display or falling replay, the main control unit 100 outputs the ART signal to OFF at time T4.

  And since the sub-control part 160 has activated the assist function, it keeps alerting | reporting the operation order of the push winning combination which won internally, re-wins the game 2 again, and returns to an ART state. The main control unit 100 outputs the ART signal to ON at time T5, and the data counter counts up the number of ARTs. When the sub control unit 160 finishes ART, the sub control unit 160 stops the notification of the operation sequence of the push order, so that even if the player unwillingly, the main control unit 100 wins the small role coboscises display or the fall replay. To output the ART signal to OFF. That is, in FIG. 149 (B), when the sub-control unit 160 activates the assist function and the push order is won internally, the ART state is temporarily dropped by the player's erroneous operation, and then returned to the ART state again. Then, since the main control unit 100 outputs the ART signal to ON, the data counter displays that the AT has been won once more. As a result, there is a problem that the player cannot obtain correct information on the number of ATs. That is, in the conventional method shown in FIGS. 149 (A) and 149 (B), the data counter displays a false display of 3 times although it should originally display 1 AT win.

  In the conventional method described above, when the replay 2 wins, the main control unit 100 outputs the ART signal from the external concentration terminal board 170 to ON at time T1 shown in FIG. 149 (A), and at time T2. The ART signal is output to OFF. On the other hand, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 149 (C), even if the stop switch is operated in an advantageous operation order corresponding to the internal winning winning combination and replay 2 wins at time T1, a high probability replay Although the state is shifted to the state, the ART signal is not immediately turned ON because the pressing order is not established twice (or continuously several times or more). According to the experiment, the plurality of times may be two times, but a sufficient result is obtained that the ART number is not falsely displayed three to several times.

  And since the sub-control unit 160 does not activate the assist function and does not notify the advantageous operation order corresponding to the push winning combination that is won internally, the player wins the small role Koboshi display or fall replay with a high probability. I will let you. Accordingly, in this case, the main control unit 100 returns to the normal probability replay state again without turning the ART signal on and off. In other words, FIG. 149 (C) shows that the main control unit 100 does not immediately output the ART signal to the ON state even if the replay 2 is won due to the player's prohibited operation (penalty operation) or accident, and the normal control is again performed. Since it falls to the probability replay state, the display of the data counter is not changed. As a result, the player can obtain correct information on the number of ATs.

  In the case of the conventional method described above, as described with reference to FIG. 149 (B), due to an erroneous operation by the player, the ART signal falls once from the ART state at time T4 and outputs the ART signal OFF, and at the time T5, the ART state. When returning to, the ART signal is output to ON, and an erroneous count occurs in the number of ARTs.

On the other hand, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 149 (D), when the sub-control unit 160 activates the assist function, the stop switch is operated in an advantageous operation sequence corresponding to the internal winning combination and the replay 2 Wins at time T3 and the main control unit 100 shifts to the high probability replay state.
However, the main control unit 100 does not immediately establish the pushing order twice (or continuously several times or more), and therefore does not immediately output the ART signal to ON. The sub-control unit 160 continues to activate the assist function and notifies the advantageous operation order corresponding to the internal winning winning combination, so that the player can surely win the pressing advance.

  Since the main control unit 100 wins at the time T3 ′, the winning order is won twice (or more than once in succession) and the gaming state is changed from the normal probability replay state to the high probability replay state. The ART signal is output to ON. After that, when the push order (push order small role or push order replay role) is won internally, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the operation order, but due to an erroneous operation by the player, the small role is displayed or falls replay. Even if a prize is won, the main control unit 100 does not output the ART signal OFF at time T4 because it has not been operated continuously twice or more including the previous time or a plurality of times including the previous time. The sub-control unit 160 subsequently activates the assist function and notifies the advantageous operation order corresponding to the internal winning winning combination, so that the player can surely win the pressing advance.

  When the sub-control unit 160 terminates the assist function due to the digestion of the number of ART games, the operation order will not be notified, so that the player will receive a small role koboshi eyes display or a fall replay by a normal operation of the player, and the game will be played at time T6. The state changes from the high probability replay state to the normal probability replay state. However, the main control unit 100 does not immediately establish the push order for two consecutive times including the previous time (or continuously for a plurality of times including the previous time), and therefore does not immediately output the ART signal to OFF. Since the sub-control unit 160 does not notify the operation order of the push order, the player cannot establish the push order, and even if it is unwilling to win, the player will win the small role coboscis display or the fall replay. The main control unit 100 outputs the ART signal OFF when the operation order of the push order is wrong at time T6 ′ twice (including the previous time or continuously several times including the previous time) at the time T6 ′.

That is, in the high probability replay state, the main control unit 100 operates the stop switch in an unfavorable operation order when the pushing order is won internally, and the replay probability descending symbol stops on the active line, thereby causing the normal probability replay. In case of transition to the state, if the stop switch is operated twice or more times including the previous time in an unfavorable operation order when the push order is elected internally again, the gaming state is started from the external concentration terminal board. As information, a signal indicating that the assist activation state is not set (the ART signal is OFF) is output. In other words, FIG. 149 (D) shows that the main control unit 100 does not immediately output the ART signal to OFF even if the player has made a small-handed combination display or fall replay due to an erroneous operation by the player, and the sub-control unit 160 again It only leads to the transition to the high probability replay state, and the display of the data counter is not changed by mistake. The main control unit 100 outputs the ART signal OFF when the operation sequence of the pressing order is wrong twice continuously including the previous time (or continuously several times including the previous time). As a result, the player can obtain correct information on the AT count from the data counter.
ART Example 1:
An embodiment related to ART for winning a winning combination in the pressing order will be described in detail below, but can be adopted in the above main embodiment.

  FIG. 23 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.

Each swirl belt has 20 different symbols on it, and the bonus red symbols “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, “Black Bar”, various small role symbols “Bell”, “Watermelon”, “Cherry”, “Plum (Red)”, “Plum (Blue)”, “Plum (White)” and a replay in which replay is activated are depicted.

  FIG. 24 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of game medals inserted.

  FIG. 24 (B) is an effective line when a prescribed number of game medals are inserted (only for three general games: during non-actual operation), in order of left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c. The first line (middle, middle, middle: middle horizontal line), second line (upper, upper, upper: upper horizontal line), and third line (lower, middle, upper: upper right) are effective.

  FIG. 24C shows an effective line when a prescribed number of game medals are inserted (in the BB) or in a prescribed number of 3 (in the RB) during the bonus game, and the second line and the fourth line ( (Lower, lower, lower: lower horizontal line) are effective.

  FIG. 25 is a payout table when the accessory is not activated (during a normal game), FIG. 26 is a payout table for the push order prescribed small role, and FIG. 27 is a payout table when the accessory is continuously operated (during a bonus game).

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on an effective line (see FIG. 24) corresponding to the number of inserted game medals.

  (1) First bonus (BB1): Left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (red 7), right drum 2c (red 7) are aligned on any of the three active lines. Then, the acquired number of games is 0, and the first bonus game is awarded thereafter. This first bonus ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/400, the specified number of inserted bonus games exceeds two, and the number of payouts exceeds 360. When the first bonus is won internally by lottery and the first bonus flag is set, the first bonus can be established. It is rare that only the first bonus is won alone, and in most cases, watermelon (FR1: fruit 1) or cherry (CH), or a weak chance (FR3) or strong chance ( FR4) is won at the same time, so when these are displayed, the player feels extremely hot.

  (2) Second bonus (BB2): The left drum 2a (blue 7), the middle drum 2b (blue 7), and the right drum 2c (blue 7) stop on one of the three active lines. Then, the acquired number of games is 0 and the second bonus game is given thereafter. This second bonus ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/400, the prescribed number of inserted bonus games is two, and the number of payouts exceeds 260. When the first bonus is won internally by lottery and the second bonus flag is set, the second bonus can be established. It is rare that only the second bonus is elected alone, and in most cases, watermelon (FR1: fruit 1) or cherry (CH) or a rare chance (FR3) or strong chance ( FR4) is won at the same time, so when these are displayed, the player feels extremely hot.

(3) Third bonus (RB): The left drum 2a (red 7), the middle drum 2b (red 7), and the right drum 2c (black bar) are aligned on any of the three active lines. Then, the number of acquired games is 0, and a third bonus game is awarded thereafter. This third bonus ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/400, the specified number of inserted third bonus games exceeds 3, and the number of payouts exceeds 60. When the third bonus is won internally by the lottery and the third bonus flag is set, the third bonus can be established. It is rare that only the third bonus is won alone, and in most cases, watermelon (FR1: fruit 1) or cherry (CH), or a weak chance (FR3) or strong chance ( FR4) is won at the same time, so when these are displayed, the player feels extremely hot.

  (4) Watermelon (FR1: AT lottery role): The name of the watermelon symbol when the watermelon symbols are aligned on the active line. When a watermelon is won internally by lottery, one condition device of FR1 (fruit 1) is activated, and an assist stock lottery (AT stock lottery: range of 0 to 255 times) is performed inside the gaming machine.

  When the watermelon is internally won and the assist stock lottery results in a loss (0 wins in the AT lottery), the sub-control unit 160 adds 1 to the watermelon counter in the RAM 162. On the other hand, when winning in the assist stock lottery, the watermelon counter is cleared and returned to zero. That is, it is the watermelon counter that counts up and stores the number of consecutive lost times in the assist stock lottery. When this watermelon counter reaches a predetermined value, the sub-control unit 160 changes to a lottery table without a loss, and lots the number of assist stocks. For example, when the watermelon counter reaches 10 (that is, lose 10 consecutive times), the number of assist stocks is drawn in the range of 1 to 255 times (that is, there is no losing), and then one set 20 for the number of assist stocks. The game continues navigation and assists the player to win a small bell. Internally, the watermelon is divided into a normal watermelon that is hard to hit AT stock and a chance watermelon that is easy to hit AT stock, and the ratio is 5: 1. Therefore, even if the same watermelon is a chance watermelon, a flashy effect that attracts the player's attention (for example, a large green aura appears on the display effect device 11 or a plurality of watermelons fall).

  (5) Bell (FR2): The title when the bell symbols are aligned on the active line. When the bell wins in the lottery, one FR2 (fruit 2) condition device is activated. When FR2 wins alone, the bell symbol stops on any one of the active lines regardless of the stop operation sequence of the stop button unit 10, and a winning is always made. In addition, as will be described later, when a plurality of plums for a push order control (a part of a plurality of push order stipulated small roles) and a bell small role are simultaneously elected, When a stop operation is performed in the order of pressing determined by the Plum winning combination, the Bell winning combination wins, but none of the winning Plum winning combinations is won. In addition, if a stop operation is not performed in the order determined by a plurality of plums, some of the bells will not win, and in most cases they will lose or have a low probability of winning Any one of will win.

  (6) Single player 1 (FR3: weak chance): When left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (blue 7), right drum 2c (cherry) stops on the effective line Will be one. Since the single player 1 wins at the same time as any of the first bonus and the third bonus with a low probability to a medium probability, the player will be excited when this is displayed.

  (7) Single piece 2 (FR4: strong chance): Left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (black bar), right drum 2c (cherry) on the active line, the number of winnings Will be one. Since the single player 2 wins at the same time as any one of the first bonus and the third bonus with a medium probability to a high probability, when this is displayed, the player feels extremely hot.

  (8) Push order regulation small role (FR5 to FR31: 27 in total): (Plum (red), Plum (blue), Plum (white)) on the left drum 2a, Plum (red) ), Plum (blue), plum (white)), or any of (plum (red), plum (blue), plum (white)) on the right drum 2c stops on the active line, The number is 15 (see FIG. 26 for details). There are a total of 27 (multiple) push order regulation small roles, and 3 of them (a part of multiple) are designed to win internally at the same time as the bell. If a stop operation is performed in the order of pressing determined uniquely by the role, the bell small role wins.

  (9) Cherry (CH): The title when the cherry symbol stops on the effective line of the left drum 2a, and the number obtained is one. When a cherry wins in the lottery, one CH condition device is activated, and an assist stock lottery (AT stock lottery: a range of 0 to 255 times) is performed inside the gaming machine. Cherry is a single symbol small part, and no matter what symbols stop on the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c, it is irrelevant to winning.

  In addition, when the cherry wins and the assist stock lottery results in a loss (0 wins in the AT lottery), the sub-control unit 160 adds 1 to the cherry counter in the RAM 162. On the other hand, when winning in the assist stock lottery, the cherry counter is cleared and returned to zero. That is, it is the cherry counter that counts up and stores the number of consecutive lost times in the assist stock lottery. When the cherry counter reaches a predetermined value, the sub-control unit 160 changes to a lottery table without a loss, and lots the assist stock number. For example, when the cherry counter reaches 5 (that is, loses five times in succession), the number of assist stocks is drawn in the range of 1 to 255 times (that is, there is no loss), and thereafter, one set 20 for the number of assist stocks. The game continues navigation and assists the player to win a small bell. Internally, the cherry is divided into a normal cherry that is hard to hit the AT stock and a chance cherry that is easy to hit the AT stock, and the ratio is 2: 1. Therefore, even if the same cherry is a chance cherry, a flashy effect that attracts the player's attention (for example, a large red aura appears on the display effect device 11 or a plurality of cherries fall) is performed.

  (10) Replay 1 (RP1): This is the title when three replay symbols are aligned on the active line. In response to this, no medals are obtained, and when the RP1 flag is set in the flag area and the player wins alone. Regame 1 always works. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. Note that when one of the other replays 2 to 4 described later is simultaneously selected, any replay symbol is displayed and operated according to the pressing order.

  (11) Replay 2 (RP2): The title when (replay) on the left drum 2a, (bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (replay) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line. Is not acquired, and if the RP2 flag is set in the flag area and the player is elected alone, the replay 2 is always activated. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. Replay 2 is on the active line in the RT1 state (in the initial state where the replay probability is about 1 / 7.3, the push order bell is elected and when the missing symbol is displayed, the replay probability increases to about 1/2) If they are displayed together, the RT2 state is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.2. In most cases, when simultaneous winning with replay 1 or overlapping with other replays is made and the pressing order is correct, the player enters an RT2 state that is advantageous to the player and activates the assist function.

  (12) Replay 3 (RP3): Left drum 2a (replay), middle drum 2b (replay), right drum 2c with plum (red), plum (blue), plum (white) on the effective line In this case, no medals are obtained, and if the RP3 / flag is set in the flag area and the player is elected alone, the replay 3 always operates. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be performed without inserting a new medal. When the replay 3 is displayed on the active line in the RT1 state (replay probability is about 1/2), the replay probability is lowered to about 1/6 and the state is changed to the RT3 state for only 10 games. It becomes a chance zone. In this RT3 state, when the replay 4 is won again, the assist stock lottery is performed with a high winning probability, so that it becomes a blissful period for the player to feel excitement and excitement.

  (13) Replay 4 (RP4): The left drum 2a has either plum (red), plum (blue), or plum (white), the middle drum 2b (bell), and the right drum 2c (replay) on the effective line. In this case, no medals are obtained, and if the RP4 / flag is set in the flag area and the player is elected alone, the replay 3 always operates. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. In most cases, the replay 4 is won simultaneously with the replay 1 or overlapped with other replays, and the replay 4 or the replay 1 operates according to the pressing order. When the push order is incorrect in the RT1 state (replay probability is about 1/2), replay 4 is displayed on the active line, which is disadvantageous for the player whose replay probability has dropped to about 1 / 7.3. Transitioning to the RT4 state, the Hamar RT zone is entered for only 100 games.

  (14) Replay 5 (RP5): This is a title when the left drum 2a (blue 7), the middle drum 2b (bell), and the right drum 2c (replay) are aligned on the active line. The medal is not acquired, and if the RP5 / flag is set in the flag area and the player is elected alone, the replay 5 is always activated. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. Note that the replay 5 is a replay for controlling the pressing order, and is actually displayed only when one of the bonuses is being won internally, otherwise it is not aligned on the active line. Therefore, if the replay 5 is activated in a state where it is unknown whether the bonus is won or not, the player is relieved because the bonus is determined.

  FIG. 28 is a combination table of condition devices for push order small combinations.

  The push order small combination means a winning combination in which the bell small combination (first small combination) is won when the operation order of the stop button portion 10 is correct and the bell small combination is not won in the case of incorrect answer. In the present invention, if the first stop operation is correct, the bell small part wins, so the winning probability is 1/3. On the other hand, if the first stop operation is an incorrect answer, the loser (small part missing) or the plum small part wins with a probability of 2/27. Therefore, the expected value of payout is about 6.1 sheets with 15 sheets × (1/3 + 2/27).

  As shown in the figure, there are 27 types of combinations of bell small combination and push order small combination from number 01 to number 27. There are 27 (types) different Plums as push order regulation small roles, 3 of them (a part of multiple push order rules) and Bell small role (first small role) However, the internal lottery is to be won at the same time by one random number lottery.

  When any one of the numbers 01 to 09 is internally won and the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop, the bell small part is won, while the other stop button portions 10 are operated in the first stop. , Loses or wins a small chance of winning a plum. Similarly, when any of No. 10 to No. 18 is internally won and the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop, the bell small part wins, while the other stop button portions 10 are first stopped. When operated, a loser or plum small wins. Further, when any of the numbers 19 to 27 is internally won and the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop, the bell small part is won, while the other stop button portions 10 are first stopped. Then, a loser or a plum small wins a prize.

  FIG. 29 is a table showing combinations of condition devices and symbol defining data. FIG. 29A is a combination table of the condition devices of the push order small combination number 01 (see FIG. 28), and FIG. 29B conceptually shows the configuration of the symbol defining data.

As the combination of the bell small combination and the push order small combination, when the number 01 is won internally, the condition device (flag) of FR2 + FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is activated (see FIG. 29A). Therefore,
FR2 bell bell bell, FR5 plum (red), plum (red), plum (red), FR9 plum (blue), plum (blue), Plum (blue) or FR13 Plum (White), Plum (White), Plum (White) wins a prize or loses no medals (all prizes are not awarded) Become.

  The symbol defining data is information used for symbol stop control, and is composed of symbol data (first information) and color data (second information). The bell symbol does not have color information, and is specified only by the symbol data 04H (that is, since it is a single color, color data is unnecessary). On the other hand, the Plum design has the same shape, but the color is different from red, blue and white. Therefore, the Plum (red) design has the design data 20H and the color data 10H, and the Plum (blue) design has the design data 20H and the color. By distinguishing the data 20H and the plum (white) symbol from the symbol data 20H and the color data 40H, the three-color plum symbol can be specified.

  Next, the operation of the swivel type gaming machine configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and flowcharts.

  FIG. 30 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  For example, when the number 01 shown in FIG. 28 is won by random lottery, the condition device of FR2 + FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is operated as described above. When the player operates the left stop button 10a in the first stop in this state, the main control unit 100 determines that the stored control information (first left stop) matches (the pressing order is “correct”). Regardless of the subsequent order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation, only the bell small role is always won and 15 medals are paid out. That is, the main control unit 100 starts a variable display game that fluctuates three symbol sequences, and three of 27 bell small roles that are a bell small role and a push order regulation small role are simultaneously won by lottery. Let When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the pressing order determined by these three plum small combinations, the bell small combination is won, and as will be described later, none of the three prize winning combinations won at the same time. Thus, stop control is performed.

  FIG. 30A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, the player makes the first stop and presses the left stop button 10a. When the stop operation is performed when the cherry No. 8 is at the reference position (the state in which the cherry No. 8 can immediately stop at the lower position of the left drum 2a. See FIG. 30B), the main control unit 100 is one of the active lines. The pull-in control is performed so that the bell symbol stops at the shortest time. In this case, no. 4 bell symbols are stopped on the second line (upper, upper, upper: upper horizontal line) (see FIG. 30C).

  FIG. 31 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  In a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 30A), the player stops the left stop button 10a with No. When the replay of No. 6 is at the reference position (when the No. 6 replay can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the left drum), the main control unit 100 immediately stops the drum, as shown in FIG. Similarly, no. The bell symbol 4 is stopped on the second line (upper, upper, upper: upper horizontal line) (see FIG. 31A).

  On the other hand, in the state of FIG. When the 5th plum (red) is at the reference position and the stop operation is performed (the No. 5 plum (red) can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the left drum), the main control unit 100 immediately stops the drum, No. The bell symbol 4 is stopped on the first line (middle, middle, middle: central horizontal line) (see FIG. 31B).

  Further, in the state shown in FIG. 30A, the player makes the first stop and presses the left stop button 10a. When the stop operation is performed when the bell No. 4 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 immediately stops the drum, The bell symbol 4 is stopped on the third line (lower, middle, upper: upper right) (see FIG. 31C).

  FIG. 32 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 32A is the same as FIG. 31A, and when the player stops the middle stop button 10b in the second stop in a state where the left drum 2a is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed in the upper stage. The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. The bell symbol 4 is stopped at the upper stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 32B). Since the four bell symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames, any bell symbol in the pull-in range can be stopped at the upper stage of the middle drum 2b to reach a reach state. is there.

  When the player performs a stop operation on the right stop button 10c in the second stop from the state of FIG. The bell symbol 6 is stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 32C). Since the four bell symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames, any bell symbol in the pull-in range can be stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c to reach a reach state. is there.

  The “reach state” is a state in which the symbols constituting the predetermined role are aligned on the effective line of the symbol row other than the one symbol row that was rotated last, and the last rotated symbol row is When the predetermined symbol is displayed on the active line when the vehicle stops, the predetermined combination is in a state of winning (see FIGS. 32B and 32C). This reach state is also referred to as a “temple state” of a predetermined role as a synonym, and in FIG. 32, it is a “reach state” or “tempe state” of a bell small role.

  FIG. 33 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  In FIG. 33 (A), as in FIG. 32 (B), the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b are stopped, and two bell symbols are displayed on the second line. When the player performs a stop operation on the right stop button 10c at the third stop, the main control unit 100, for example, No. The bell symbol 6 is stopped on the upper stage of the middle drum 2b, and the bell small part is awarded on the second line (see the right figure in FIG. 33A). As described above, since the four bell symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged at intervals of four frames, any one in the pull-in range (“4 frames” in the current rule) from the reach state of the bell small role. The bell symbol can be stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c to win the bell small part.

Also, from the state shown in the left diagram of FIG. The bell symbol No. 4 is stopped on the upper stage of the middle drum 2b, and the bell small part is awarded on the second line (see the right figure in FIG. 33B). As with the right drum 2c, the four bell symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames, so that any bell symbol in the pull-in range from the reach state of the bell small role is changed to the middle drum 2b. It is possible to stop at the upper stage and win the bell small part. Then, as shown in FIGS. 33 (A) and 33 (B), when the main control unit 100 wins the bell small role (first small role), the three pushing orders simultaneously won internally. FR5 Plum (Red), Plum (Red), Plum (Red), FR9 Plum (Blue), Plum (Blue), Plum (Blue) or FR13 Plum (White), Plum (White)・ Plums (white) will not be awarded. At this time, all 27 types of plum smalls will not reach the reach. That is, in the left figure of FIG. 33 (A) or the left figure of FIG. 33 (B), while the bell small part is in the reach state, the plum small part is not in the reach state in the reach state of the bell small part. There will be no winnings.

  In the above description, the case where the number 01 is won, the push order is correct, and the bell small part wins is explained. However, even when the numbers 02 to 09 shown in FIG. When the left stop button 10a is operated, only the bell small part always wins regardless of the order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation thereafter. Similarly, when the numbers 10 to 18 shown in FIG. 28 are won, when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop, or when the numbers 19 to 27 are won, When the right stop button 10c is operated with one stop, only the small bell role always wins. That is, only the first stop operation of the stop button unit 10 determines the winning or non-winning of the bell small role, and the symbol stop control operation is the same, so the description is omitted.

  34 to 35 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  As described in FIG. 30, when the number 01 (see FIG. 28) is won by random number lottery, the condition device of FR2 + FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is activated. In this state, when the player operates the middle stop button 10b in the first stop, the main control unit 100 determines that the stored control information (first left stop) does not match (the pressing order is “incorrect answer”), While simultaneously winning one of the symbols of FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is first drawn on the active line, the bell symbol is kicked off from the effective line, so no matter how you perform the second stop operation and the third stop operation after that, Stop control is performed so as not to win the small bell role. Further, in this case, the main control unit 100 does not establish the bell small role without reaching, but this is the most important constituent requirement for affirming the patentability of the present invention.

  FIG. 34A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, the player stops the middle stop button 10b at the first stop, When the stop operation is performed when the No. 7 plum (white) is at the reference position (the No. 7 plum (white) can immediately stop at the lower position of the middle drum 2b; see FIG. 34B), the main control unit 100 Performs pull-in control of sliding the frame design of either red, blue or white (see FIG. 29A), which is the middle drum design of FR5 + FR9 + FR13, by three frames so as to stop at the upper position of the middle drum 2b (FIG. 34C). reference). In this case, the main control unit 100 stops the plum (red) which is the middle drum symbol of FR5 on the second line, but searches for only symbol data “20H” when pulling the plum symbol, The matched symbol is stopped at a predetermined position, and the color of the plum symbol actually stopped after the symbol with sufficient time is stopped is stored in the RAM 102 (red in the upper middle drum). That is, as shown in FIG. 29 (B), the plum symbol is composed of symbol data and color data, but during the first stop control, the color data processing is omitted and only the symbol data is used. Since the plum symbol is drawn in, and the time for calculating the stop position can be reduced by that amount, the symbol position shift when the drum is stopped can be eliminated.

  Further, since the bell symbol is stopped at the lower position of the middle drum 2b and deviated from the effective line, the possibility that the bell small part wins in the subsequent stop operation is completely eliminated. This point (the point that eliminates the possibility of winning the Bell small role as the first small role when the pushing order of the first stop is incorrect) is one of the constituent requirements to affirm the patentability of the present invention. .

  As a stop mode other than that in FIG. No. 7 plum (white) stops (see FIG. 35A), (2) No. No. 12 plum (blue) stops (see FIG. 35B), and (3) No. 12 There is a case where the 17th plum (blue) stops (see FIG. 35C), but if the answer is incorrect in the order of pushing the first stop, as in FIG. The possibility is gone.

  FIG. 36 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  36 (A) is the same as FIG. 34 (C). When the player performs a stop operation on the left stop button 10a in the second stop in a state where the plum (red) symbol of No. 2 is displayed in the upper stage, the main control unit 100, for example, The 5 plum (red) symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 36B). Since the four plum symbols on the left drum 2a are arranged at intervals of four frames, any one of the plum symbols in the pull-in range can be used as the left drum regardless of the three prized small symbols. It is possible to stop at the upper stage of 2b and set any of 27 types of plum small parts to reach state. In this case, the main control unit 100 searches only the symbol data “20H” when pulling in any of the red, blue and white plum symbols, stops the matched symbol at a predetermined position, and after the symbol with sufficient time is stopped. The actually stopped color of the plum symbol is stored in the RAM 102 (red on the upper left drum, red on the upper middle drum).

  In the case of FIG. 36B, the FR5 plum (red) symbol of the internal winning is stopped at the upper left drum and the upper middle drum (on the second line), so the possibility that FR5 will win It is left. However, in the case of FIG. 36C as well, the RAM 102 stores that white is stopped at the upper left drum and red is stopped at the upper middle drum, and the main control unit 100 stores the FR 23 to FR 25 shown in FIG. Although it recognizes that it is in the reach state, since those condition devices are not in operation, the stop control of the symbols is performed so that it eventually becomes lost. Further, the main control unit 100 pulls in any of the plum symbols using only the symbol data, and the time required for calculating the stop position can be reduced accordingly, so that the symbol position deviation when the drum is stopped is eliminated. Can do.

  FIG. 37 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 37 (A) is the same as FIG. 36 (B), and the plum (red) symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the left drum and the upper stage of the middle drum (on the second line). Among them, FR5 is in a reach state, and there is a possibility that a plum (red) symbol is aligned on the second line and won. That is, as shown in FIG. 37 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not set the bell small role in the reach state, and all the pressing order specified small role symbols (27 types of plums). Any one of the small role symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

  In the state of FIG. 37A, when the right stop button 10c corresponding to the last rotating right drum 2c is stopped, the main control unit 100 is within the number of pull-in pieces (in this case, a right that can be stopped immediately). If the plum symbol (up to 5 frames including the upper position of the drum 2c) is a plum (red) symbol, it matches FR5, which is one of the push order regulation minors in the internal winning, so the plum (red) The symbol is stopped on the second line to win a prize (see FIG. 37B). On the other hand, if the number within the number of drawn frames is other than the plum (red) symbol, the main control unit 100 performs stop control of the right drum 2c so as not to win the FR5 that has reached the reach state. For example, no. If the 10 plum (white) symbol is located in the upper part of the right drum 2c, it is slid down three frames and the 7 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 37C). This Plum symbol, Plum symbol, and Replay symbol are special symbols that are called small part missing points, and when the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, the predetermined number of games. Only the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2) is obtained.

  FIG. 38 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 38 (A) is the same as FIG. 36 (C), and the plum (white) symbol is stopped on the upper left drum and the plum (red) symbol is stopped on the upper middle of the second drum. None of the winning FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is in a reach state, and there is no possibility of winning a prize with all the plum symbols on the second line. That is, as shown in FIG. 38 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not reach the bell small role in a reach state, and does not set the bell small role in all push order specified small role symbols (27 types of plums). Any one of the small role symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

  In the state of FIG. 38A, when the right stop button 10c corresponding to the last rotating right drum 2c is stopped, the main control unit 100 is within the number of retracted frames (in this case, the right stop that can be stopped immediately). Even if the plum design within 5 frames including the upper position of the drum 2c) is either red, blue or white, it does not match the FR5 + FR9 + FR13 which is the push order regulation small part in the internal winning. Stop control of the right drum 2c is performed so that a certain replay symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c. For example, no. If the 10 plum (white) symbol is located on the upper one frame of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 38B), it is slid down four frames and the 7 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 38C). The plum symbol, the plum symbol, and the replay symbol are special symbols referred to as small role missing points as described above. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, a predetermined symbol is displayed. Only the number of games is in the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2).

  FIG. 39 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  39 (A) is the same as FIG. 36 (A). When the player performs a stop operation on the right stop button 10c at the second stop in a state where the plum (red) symbol of No. 2 is displayed in the upper stage, the main control unit 100, for example, The plum (red) symbol of 5 is stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 39B). Since the four plum symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged at intervals of four frames, one of the plum symbols in the pull-in range is drawn to the right drum regardless of the three winning small symbols. It is possible to stop at the upper stage of 2c and make any of the 27 types of plum small combinations reach. In this case, the main control unit 100 searches only the symbol data “20H” when pulling in any of the red, blue and white plum symbols, stops the matched symbol at a predetermined position, and after the symbol with sufficient time is stopped. The color of the actually stopped plum symbol is stored in the RAM 102 (red on the upper middle drum, red on the upper right drum).

  In the case of FIG. 39B, the FR5 plum (red) symbol of the internal winning is stopped at the middle drum upper stage and the right drum upper stage (on the second line), so there is a possibility that FR5 will win a prize. It is left. However, also in the case of FIG. 39C, the RAM 102 stores that red is stopped at the upper stage of the middle drum and white is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum, and the main control unit 100 stores the FR7, FR16, and Although it is recognized that the FR 25 is in the reach state, since those condition devices are not operating, the stop control of the symbols is performed so as to finally lose. Further, the main control unit 100 pulls in any of the plum symbols using only the symbol data, and the time required for calculating the stop position can be reduced accordingly, so that the symbol position deviation when the drum is stopped is eliminated. Can do.

  FIG. 40 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 40 (A) is the same as FIG. 39 (B), and the plum (red) symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the middle drum and the upper stage of the right drum (on the second line), so that the internal winning FR5 + FR9 + FR13 Among them, FR5 is in a reach state, and there is a possibility that a plum (red) symbol is aligned on the second line and won. That is, as shown in FIG. 40 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not reach the bell small role in the reach state, and all the pressing order specified small role symbols (27 types of plums). Any one of the small role symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

  In the state of FIG. 40A, when the left stop button 10a corresponding to the last rotating left drum 2a is operated to stop, the main control unit 100 does not exceed the number of drawn frames (in this case, the left stop that can stop immediately). If the plum symbol (up to 5 frames including the upper position of the drum 2a) is a plum (red) symbol, it matches FR5, which is one of the push order regulation minors in internal winning, so the plum (red) The symbol is stopped on the second line to win a prize (see FIG. 40B). On the other hand, if the number within the number of drawn frames is other than the plum (red) symbol, the main control unit 100 performs stop control of the left drum 2a so as not to win the FR 5 in the reach state. For example, no. If the 15 plum (white) symbol is located in the upper part of the left drum 2a, it is slid down four frames and No. 11 replay symbols are stopped at the upper stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 40C). These replay symbols, plum symbols, and plum symbols are special symbols called small part missing points. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state with a replay probability of 1 / 7.3, Only the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2) is obtained.

  FIG. 41 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 41 (A) is the same as FIG. 39 (C), and the plum (red) symbol is stopped on the upper middle drum, and the plum (white) symbol is stopped on the upper right drum. None of the winning FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is in a reach state, and there is no possibility of winning a prize with all the plum symbols on the second line. That is, as shown in FIG. 41 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not reach the bell small role in a reach state, and all the pressing order specified small role symbols (27 types of plums). Any one of the small role symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

  In the state shown in FIG. 41A, when the left stop button 10a corresponding to the last rotating left drum 2a is stopped, the main control unit 100 is within the number of drawn frames (in this case, the left stop that can stop immediately). Even if the plum design in the drum 2a (up to 5 frames including the upper position) is either red, blue or white, it does not match the FR5 + FR9 + FR13 which is the push order regulation small part in the internal winning. Stop control of the left drum 2a is performed so that a certain replay symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the left drum 2a. For example, no. If the plum (white) pattern of 15 is located in the upper stage of the drum 2c (see FIG. 41 (B)), it is slid down four frames and No. 11 replay symbols are stopped at the upper stage of the drum 2c (see FIG. 41C). This replay symbol, plum symbol, plum symbol is a special symbol called a small role missing eye as described above. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, Only the number of games is in the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2).

  42 to 43 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  As described in FIG. 30, when the number 01 (see FIG. 28) is won by random number lottery, the condition device of FR2 + FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is activated. When the player operates the right stop button 10c at the first stop in this state, the main control unit 100 determines that the stored control information (first left stop) does not match (the pressing order is “incorrect answer”), While simultaneously winning one of the symbols of FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is first drawn on the active line, the bell symbol is kicked off from the effective line, so no matter how you perform the second stop operation and the third stop operation after that, Stop control is performed so as not to win the small bell role. Further, in this case, the main control unit 100 does not establish the bell small role without reaching, but this is the most important constituent requirement for affirming the patentability of the present invention.

  FIG. 24A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, the player stops the right stop button 10c at the first stop, When the stop operation is performed when the 9 black bar is at the reference position (the No. 9 black bar can immediately stop at the lower position of the right drum 2c. See FIG. 42 (B)), the main control unit 100 moves the FR5 + FR9 + FR13 to the right. Pull-in control is performed to slide any of the red, blue and white plum symbols (see FIG. 29A), which is a drum symbol, by three frames so as to stop at the middle position of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 42C). In this case, the main control unit 100 stops the plum (red) which is the right drum symbol of FR5 on the first line, but searches only the symbol data “20H” when pulling the plum symbol, The matched symbol is stopped at a predetermined position, and the color of the plum symbol actually stopped after the symbol having sufficient time is stopped is stored in the RAM 102 (red in the middle stage of the right drum). That is, as shown in FIG. 29 (B), the plum symbol is composed of symbol data and color data, but during the first stop control, the color data processing is omitted and only the symbol data is used. Since the plum symbol is drawn in, and the time for calculating the stop position can be reduced by that amount, the symbol position shift when the drum is stopped can be eliminated.

  Further, since the bell symbol is stopped at the lower position of the right drum 2c and deviated from the effective line, the possibility that the bell small part will win in the subsequent stop operation is completely eliminated. This point (the point that eliminates the possibility of winning the Bell small role as the first small role when the pushing order of the first stop is incorrect) is one of the constituent requirements to affirm the patentability of the present invention. .

  As a stop mode other than that in FIG. 42 (C), (1) No. is set at the middle position of the right drum 2c. No. 10 plum (white) stops (see FIG. 43A), (2) No. No. 15 plum (blue) stops (see FIG. 43B) and (3) No. There is a case where 20 plum (blue) stops (see FIG. 43C), but if the answer is incorrect in the order of pushing the first stop, as in FIG. The possibility is gone.

  FIG. 44 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  44 (A) is the same as FIG. 42 (C), and the right drum 2c stops and no. When the player performs the stop operation on the left stop button 10a in the second stop in a state where the plum (red) symbol of No. 5 is displayed in the middle stage, the main control unit 100, for example, The plum (red) symbol of 5 is stopped at the middle stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 44B). Since the four plum symbols on the left drum 2a are arranged at intervals of four frames, any one of the plum symbols in the pull-in range can be used as the left drum regardless of the three prized small symbols. It is possible to stop at the middle stage of 2b and set any of 27 types of plum small parts to reach state. In this case, the main control unit 100 searches only the symbol data “20H” when pulling in any of the red, blue and white plum symbols, stops the matched symbol at a predetermined position, and after the symbol with sufficient time is stopped. The color of the actually stopped plum symbol is stored in the RAM 102 (red at the middle of the left drum and red at the middle of the right drum).

  In the case of FIG. 44B, the FR5 plum (red) symbol of the internal winning is stopped at the middle stage of the left drum and the middle stage of the right drum (on the first line), so there is a possibility that FR5 will win a prize. It is left. However, also in the case of FIG. 44C, the RAM 102 stores that white is stopped in the middle of the left drum and red is stopped in the middle of the right drum, and the main control unit 100 stores the FR23, FR26, and Although it recognizes that the FR 29 is in the reach state, since those condition devices are not operating, the stop control of the symbols is performed so that it will eventually be lost. Further, the main control unit 100 pulls in any of the plum symbols using only the symbol data, and the time required for calculating the stop position can be reduced accordingly, so that the symbol position deviation when the drum is stopped is eliminated. Can do.

  FIG. 45 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 45 (A) is the same as FIG. 44 (B), and the plum (red) symbol is stopped at the middle stage of the left drum and the middle stage of the right drum (on the first line), so that FR5 + FR9 + FR13 which is won internally. Among them, FR5 is in a reach state, and there is a possibility that a plum (red) pattern is aligned on the first line and won. That is, as shown in FIG. 45 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not set the bell small role in the reach state, and all the pressing order specified small role symbols (27 types of plums). Any one of the small role symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

  In the state of FIG. 45A, when the middle stop button 10b corresponding to the last rotating middle drum 2b is operated to stop, the main control unit 100 is within the number of drawn frames (in this case, it can be stopped immediately). If the plum symbol (within 5 frames including the middle position of the drum 2b) is a plum (red) symbol, it matches FR5, which is one of the push order regulation minors in internal winning, so the plum (red) The symbol is stopped on the first line to win a prize (see FIG. 45B). On the other hand, if the number within the number of drawn frames is other than the plum (red) symbol, the main control unit 100 performs stop control of the middle drum 2b so as not to win the FR5 in the reach state. For example, no. If the plum (white) pattern of No. 7 is located in the middle stage of the middle drum 2b, it is slid down two frames to The replay symbol 5 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 42C). This plum symbol, replay symbol, and plum symbol are special symbols called small part missing points. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, the predetermined number of games. Only the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2) is obtained.

  FIG. 46 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 46 (A) is the same as FIG. 44 (C). Since the plum (white) symbol is stopped at the middle left drum and the plum (red) symbol is stopped at the middle right drum on the first line, None of the winning FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is in a reach state, and there is no possibility of winning a prize with all the plum symbols on the first line. That is, as shown in FIG. 46 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not set the bell small role in the reach state, and all the pressing order specified small role symbols (27 types of plums). Any one of the small role symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

  In the state of FIG. 46A, when the middle stop button 10b corresponding to the last rotating middle drum 2b is operated to stop, the main control unit 100 is within the number of drawn frames (in this case, it can be stopped immediately). Even if the plum pattern in the drum 2b (within 5 frames including the middle position) is either red, blue or white, it does not match the FR5 + FR9 + FR13 which is the push order regulation small part in the internal winning, so within the number of frames to be drawn Stop control of the middle drum 2b is performed so that a certain replay symbol is stopped at the middle upper stage of the middle drum 2b. For example, no. If the plum (white) pattern of No. 7 is positioned on the upper one frame of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 46B), it is slid down four frames to The replay symbol 5 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 46C). The plum symbol, the replay symbol, and the plum symbol are special symbols referred to as small role missing points as described above. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, a predetermined symbol is displayed. Only the number of games is in the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2).

  FIG. 47 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series.

47 (A) is the same as FIG. 44 (A), and the right drum 2c stops and no. When the player performs a stop operation on the middle stop button 10b in the second stop in a state where the plum (red) symbol of No. 5 is displayed in the middle stage, the main control unit 100, for example, 2 plum (red) symbol is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 47B). Since the four plum symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames, any one of the plum symbols in the pull-in range can be used as the middle drum regardless of the three prized small symbols. It is possible to stop at the middle stage of 2b and set any of 27 types of plum small parts to reach state. In this case, the main control unit 100 searches only the symbol data “20H” when pulling in any of the red, blue and white plum symbols, stops the matched symbol at a predetermined position, and after the symbol with sufficient time is stopped. The color of the actually stopped plum symbol is stored in the RAM 102 (red in the middle middle drum and red in the right middle drum).

  In the case of FIG. 47 (B), the FR5 plum (red) symbol of internal winning is stopped at the middle drum middle stage and middle drum middle stage (on the first line), so the possibility of FR5 winning It is left. However, also in the case of FIG. 47C, the RAM 102 stores that white is stopped in the middle stage of the middle drum and red is stopped in the middle stage of the right drum, and the main control unit 100 stores the FR11, FR20, and the like shown in FIG. Although it recognizes that the FR 29 is in the reach state, since those condition devices are not operating, the stop control of the symbols is performed so that it will eventually be lost. Further, the main control unit 100 pulls in any of the plum symbols using only the symbol data, and the time required for calculating the stop position can be reduced accordingly, so that the symbol position deviation when the drum is stopped is eliminated. Can do.

  FIG. 48 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 48 (A) is the same as FIG. 47 (B), and the plum (red) symbols are stopped at the middle drum middle stage and the right drum middle stage (on the first line), so that the internal winning FR5 + FR9 + FR13. Among them, FR5 is in a reach state, and there is a possibility that a plum (red) pattern is aligned on the first line and won. That is, as shown in FIG. 48 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not reach the bell small role in the reach state, and all the pressing order specified small role symbols (27 types of plums). Any one of the small role symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

  In the state of FIG. 48A, when the left stop button 10a corresponding to the last rotating left drum 2a is stopped, the main control unit 100 is within the number of drawn frames (in this case, the left stop that can be stopped immediately). If the plum symbol (within 5 frames including the middle position of the drum 2a) is a plum (red) symbol, it matches FR5, which is one of the push order regulation minors in internal winning, so the plum (red) The symbol is stopped on the first line to win a prize (see FIG. 48B). On the other hand, if the number within the number of drawn frames is other than the plum (red) symbol, the main control unit 100 performs stop control of the left drum 2a so as not to win the FR 5 in the reach state. For example, no. If the 15 plum (white) symbol is located in the middle of the left drum 2a, it is slid down four frames and 11 replay symbols are stopped at the middle stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 48C). These replay symbols, plum symbols, and plum symbols are special symbols called small part missing points. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state with a replay probability of 1 / 7.3, Only the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2) is obtained.

  FIG. 49 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 49 (A) is the same as FIG. 47 (C), and the plum (white) symbol is stopped at the middle drum middle stage and the plum (red) symbol is stopped at the middle middle drum on the first line. None of the winning FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is in a reach state, and there is no possibility of winning a prize with all the plum symbols on the first line. That is, as shown in FIG.
If the push order is incorrect, the bell small role is not reached, and any one of all push order specified small role symbols (27 types of plum small role symbols) is stopped to reach the reach state. To do. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

  When the left stop button 10a corresponding to the last rotating left drum 2a is stopped in the state of FIG. 49 (A), the main control unit 100 is within the number of drawn frames (in this case, a left that can be stopped immediately). Even if the plum design in the drum 2a (within 5 frames including the middle position) is either red, blue or white, it does not match the FR5 + FR9 + FR13 which is the push order regulation small part in the internal winning. Stop control of the left drum 2a is performed so that a certain replay symbol is stopped at the middle stage of the left drum 2a. For example, no. If the 15 plum (white) symbol is located in the middle stage of the drum 2c (see FIG. 49B), it is slid down four frames and no. 11 replay symbols are stopped at the middle stage of the drum 2c (see FIG. 49C). This replay symbol, plum symbol, plum symbol is a special symbol called a small role missing eye as described above. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, Only the number of games is in the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2).

  In the above description, the case where the number 01 is won and the pressing order is incorrect and the bell small role does not win is described. However, even if the numbers 02 to 09 shown in FIG. If a button other than the left stop button 10a is operated in a stop state, the bell small part will not win regardless of the order of the subsequent second stop operation and the third stop operation. Similarly, when numbers 10 to 18 shown in FIG. 28 are won, when a button other than the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop, or when numbers 19 to 27 are won, When a button other than the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop, the bell small part does not win. That is, only the first stop operation of the stop button portion 10 determines the winning or non-winning of the bell small role, and the symbol stop control operation regarding the winning or missing small role of the plum small portion is the same, and the description is omitted.

  FIG. 50 is a flowchart showing a symbol stop processing subroutine. A solid line indicates processing executed by the main control unit 100, and a broken line indicates processing executed by the sub-control unit 160.

  In the game main process in step S170 of FIG. 22, the main control unit 100 executes random number lottery in accordance with the player's operation of the start lever 9 (start signal reception timing), and after calling this subroutine, the drum unit The symbol change display game is started by rotating 2.

  In step S200, the main control unit 100 outputs a notification signal (command, data, etc.) and notifies the sub-control unit 160 of the lottery result and internal state (bonus flag, RT state, number of digested games after bonus, etc.). The process proceeds to step S210.

  Upon receipt of the notification signal, the sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not any of the push order small combinations (condition device combination numbers 01 to 27 shown in FIG. 28) has been won by a command or data in step SS100. If it is not elected, the process ends. If it is elected, the process proceeds to step SS110.

  The sub-control unit 160 confirms whether or not there is an AT stock in Step SS110, and ends if there is no AT stock. On the other hand, if there is an AT stock, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to Step SS120.

  The sub-control unit 160 checks whether or not the condition for releasing the AT stock (invoking the AT function) is established in step SS120, and if not, the process ends. If established, the process proceeds to step SS130. To do.

  The sub-control unit 160 activates the AT function in step SS130, notifies the pressing order of the stop button operation, and ends this process. Specifically, this AT function has a voice of “left”, “middle”, “right” in a male voice and “left”, “middle”, “right” in a female voice, The image is displayed on the display effect device 11.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S210, the main control unit 100 performs a stop operation in the pressing order determined by the internal winning winning combination (number 01 to number 27), thereby determining that the pressing order is correct, step S220. In step S230, if the pushing order is incorrect, the process proceeds to step S230.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S230, when one of the two drum parts 2 stops, the main control unit 100 sets one of the 27 kinds of plum small parts to reach a state, and when the final stop operation of the drum part 2 is performed in step S240. It is determined whether or not the winning prize can be won, and if it is possible to win, the prize is awarded in step S250 and the process ends. On the other hand, if winning is not possible, a special symbol (missing eye) is displayed in step S260. Then, the RT1 state, which is a high probability replaying state, is set to end.

  FIG. 51 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

  The sub-control unit 160 switches and displays the effect video displayed on the display effect device 11 according to the gaming state. FIG. 51A shows a daytime stage screen, which is used in a state where the AT winning probability is low. FIG. 51 (B) is a night stage screen, which is mainly used during the internal winning of the bonus or in a state where the winning probability of the AT is high. When this screen is displayed, the player expects the bonus or AT release. I feel uplifted. The sub-control unit 160 wins rare small roles such as middle tier cherries (called “single chess” in the industry), watermelons, and strong bells that are singly won and arranged regardless of the pressing order, and then the transition lottery If you win further at, it switches from the normal screen in the daytime 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, a normal day screen and a night screen are alternately displayed at a predetermined frequency. In general, these display screens change the time, weather, etc. depending on the stay mode such as low probability state and high probability state during bonus internal winning in order to suggest the correct mode to the player. The player's sense of expectation can be further enhanced by appropriately performing the performance.

  FIG. 51C shows a night screen. When the player operates the start lever from the night stage screen to start the variable display game, the sub-control unit 160 has a predetermined condition such as when a rare small role is won. Assist lottery (AT lottery) is performed every time it is established. When the sub-control unit 160 performs the AT lottery, the sub-control unit 160 performs an effect of dropping the brightness on the night stage screen together with thunder. In addition, a night screen is used as a precursor for releasing bonuses and ATs. In particular, when a bonus is won, the abrupt change from the day stage screen to the night stage screen is performed, and the lightning continuous effect is performed at least twice to suggest the bonus confirmation. In addition, if the lightning effect is performed three times from the daytime stage screen, it indicates that the bonus confirmation and AT lottery have been won. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's expectation by appropriately generating thunder and shininess.

The AT lottery described above is also referred to as a navigation lottery (abbreviated name of “navigation lottery”), and when the AT function is activated, the sub-control unit 160 is stopped in order to avoid winning a winning combination or falling replay when the AT function is activated. The operation order of the button unit 10 is notified. In addition, when winning in the AT lottery, the AT function is not activated immediately, but is added and stored as AT stock (stored or stored), and released at once at a desired timing, so that a large number of medals can be played. Can be acquired by a person. For example, in the RT state (high-probability replay state) after winning a premier bonus of 7 reds with very low winning probability, all AT stock for one set of 50 games is released, and AT lottery is performed during ART For example, since the ART continues indefinitely without reducing the number of balls by RT, a lump of balls can be created.

  FIG. 52 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

  When notifying the bonus winning, the sub-control unit 160 displays the night stage screen again (see FIG. 52A) in the next variable display game in which the final effect of FIG. According to the operation of the unit 10, two bats with a plate approach from a distance and display so that the “BONUS” characters can be recognized gradually (see FIG. 52 (B)), and finally the bats fly away Produce.

  Also, from the state where the night stage screen is displayed, scroll the display screen to the right, the cemetery is expanded and the butler of the character digs with the cry of "Ollya" and the sound effect of "Tiroro Lorne" It is good also as an extremely premiere effect for a player by making the hero character appear from the grave hole in the center of the raised screen (see FIG. 52C).

  FIG. 53 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

  When the sub-control unit 160 notifies the AT release, the sub-control unit 160 displays the night stage screen again in the next variation display game in which the final effect is performed in the same manner as the bonus notification (see FIG. 53A), and the stop button unit. In response to 10 operations, two bats with a plate approach from a distance, and display the words “ART START”, which means the activation of the assist function, gradually (see FIG. 53 (B)). ), The last bat announcement effect will be performed.

  Also, from the night stage screen displayed, scroll the display screen to the right, the cemetery is expanded, and the character ’s butler is screaming “Ollya” and the sound effect “Tiroro Lorne”, and the center of the screen By digging up a plate on which “ART START” is written from the grave hole of the player, it is possible to create an extremely premiere effect for the player (see FIG. 53C).

  54 to 55 are schematic diagrams of effect screens displayed by the display effect device.

  As described above, when the sub-control unit 160 activates the ART function that continues 50 games in one set, the sub-control unit 160 displays the remaining number of games and the number of acquired coins indicating the number of purely increased medals at the upper right of the display effect device 11. Since the AT function is generally activated in the RT state, the ART function will be described as an example.

  When the first game starts, the sub-control unit 160 displays the remaining number of games as 49 and the number of net increase medals as 0, and if the pushing order bell is won at that time, the stop button portion necessary for winning the bell small role The pressing order of 10 is displayed by the numbers 1 to 3. In this case, the number 1 indicating the first stop operation is displayed in a large circle, and pronounced “Naka” with Dracula or the hero's voice (see FIG. 54A). Note that the player is also assisted with the same display and voice even when the push order replay in which the RT is punctured if the operation is wrong is won.

  When the player correctly operates the middle stop button 10b, the sub-control unit 160 changes the large circle character at the center to OK to make it a small circle, and expands the number 2 meaning the second stop operation to a large circle. Are displayed (see FIG. 54B).

When the player correctly operates the right stop button 10c, the sub-control unit 160 changes the large circle character on the right to a small circle, and expands the number 3 indicating the third stop operation to a large circle. (See FIG. 54C). In addition, as described above, the push order bell wins only by correctly answering the first stop operation, but if the second and third stop operations are not displayed, the player is confused and is displayed to avoid it. It is. However, if the second and third stop operation sequences are mistaken, the bell small role may be won, but the assist lottery may not be performed in the next variable display game.

When the player finally operates the left stop button 10a, the sub-control unit 160 changes the large circle character on the left to OK to make a small circle (see FIG. 55A). Then, “GET” signifying a bell small prize winning is displayed, and the acquired number is added to 0 to 15 in conjunction with paying out 15 medals (see FIG. 55B).
ART Example 2:
FIG. 56 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.

  Each swirl belt has 21 symbols in a different arrangement, and the symbols “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, “Black Bar” that act as bonuses, and “Bell” in various small role symbols. , “Cherry”, “Plum (Red)”, “Plum (Blue)”, “Plum (White)” and replays and replays in which replay is activated.

  FIG. 57 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of game medals inserted.

  FIG. 57 (B) shows an effective line when a prescribed number of game medals are inserted (only for three general games). The first line (upper stage, upper drum, right drum 2c) is arranged in the order of left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c. Middle, lower: down right, second line (lower, middle, upper: upper right), third line (upper, middle, upper: V) and fourth line (lower, middle, lower: inverted V) These four are effective. Note that, in the bonus game (when an accessory is activated), the prescribed number of game medals is two, but the effective lines are the same for the first to fourth lines.

  FIG. 58 is a payout table when an accessory is not operating (during a normal game, the specified number is 3).

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on an effective line (see FIG. 57) corresponding to the number of game medals inserted. In this case, the same is true regardless of the number of inserted sheets.

(1) First bonus (BB1): left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (red 7), right drum 2c (red 7) aligned on any of the four active lines Then, the acquired number of games is 0, and the first bonus game is awarded thereafter. This first bonus ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/400, the specified number of inserted bonus games exceeds two, and the number of payouts exceeds 360. When the first bonus is won internally by lottery and the first bonus flag is set, the first bonus can be established. It is rare that only the first bonus is won, and in most cases, it will be won at the same time as 4 cherry cherries (FR11), strong plums, RT start replay (replay 2), etc. When these are displayed, the player feels extremely hot. Strong Plum and Normal Plum both win when the Plum symbols are aligned on the active line, so they cannot be distinguished from each other. It becomes possible to recognize. When the winning probability of the replay role is RT1 (first probability) and this first bonus is won internally, the winning probability of the replay role will be RT2 from the next game (the winning probability of the replay role is higher than the first probability). The second probability determined by (2) is selected and the lottery is performed (that is, the change probability of the winning probability of the replay role). In the state of RT1, when replay 2 (replay, replay, blue replay) described later is activated, it becomes RT2, but the first bonus may be exactly the same as RT2 after internal winning, but generally these are This RT2 is slightly different from that of RT2 and means only about the same RT probability. For example, if a special replay that is not won in RT2 after replay 2 is made to win only in RT2 after the first bonus, it can be discriminated only by the advanced player or the player, so the game performance is improved.

  (2) Second bonus (BB2): The left drum 2a (blue 7), the middle drum 2b (blue 7), and the right drum 2c (blue 7) are aligned on any of the four active lines. Then, the acquired number of games is 0 and the second bonus game is given thereafter. This second bonus ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/400, the prescribed number of inserted bonus games exceeds 2 and the number of payouts exceeds 360. When the second bonus is won internally by lottery and the second bonus flag is set, the second bonus can be established. Note that it is rare that only the second bonus is won alone, and as with the first bonus, it is won simultaneously with the rare small role. Even when the winning probability of the replay role is RT1 (first probability) and the second bonus is won internally, the winning probability of the replay role does not change and the RT1 state is maintained. As a result, even if the winning probability of the replay role remains RT1, a bonus role may be won. Therefore, even if the replay probability is low and the player performs intensely continuous production, the player can continue to have a sense of expectation. .

  (3) Third bonus (BB3): The left drum 2a (blue 7), the middle drum 2b (blue 7), and the right drum 2c (red 7) are aligned on any of the four active lines. Then, the number of acquired games is 0, and a third bonus game is awarded thereafter. This third bonus is ended when, for example, the winning probability is 1/400, the specified number of inserted third bonus games is two, and the number of payouts exceeds 260. When the third bonus is won internally by the lottery and the third bonus flag is set, the third bonus can be established. In addition, it is rare that only the third bonus is elected alone, and it is elected at the same time with the rare small role like the first bonus. Similarly to the first bonus, if the winning probability of the replay role is RT1 (first probability) and this third bonus is won internally, the winning probability of the replay role will be RT2 from the next game.

  (4) Fourth bonus (BB4): Left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (red 7), right drum 2c (blue 7) are aligned on any of the four active lines. Then, the acquired number is 0 and the fourth bonus game is given thereafter. This fourth bonus is ended when, for example, the winning probability is 1/400, the specified number of inserted games in the fourth bonus game is two, and the number of payouts exceeds 260. When the fourth bonus is won internally by the lottery and the fourth bonus flag is set, the fourth bonus can be established. In addition, it is rare that only the fourth bonus is elected alone, and it is elected at the same time as the rare small role like the first bonus. Similar to the second bonus, even if this fourth bonus is won internally, the winning probability of the replay role does not change and the RT1 state is maintained.

(5) Fifth bonus (RB1): left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (red 7), right drum 2c (black bar) aligned on any of the four active lines. Then, the number of acquired games is 0, and a fifth bonus game is awarded thereafter. The fifth bonus is ended when, for example, the winning probability is 1/200, the prescribed number of the fifth bonus game is two, three times, or eight games are activated. When the fifth bonus is won internally by lottery and the fifth bonus flag is set, the fifth bonus can be established. In addition, it is rare that only the fifth bonus is elected alone, and it is elected at the same time as the rare small role like the first bonus. Similarly to the first bonus, when the winning probability of the replay role is RT1 (first probability) and this fifth bonus is won internally, the winning probability of the replay role will be RT2 from the next game.

  (6) Sixth bonus (RB2): left drum 2a (blue 7), middle drum 2b (blue 7), right drum 2c (black bar) aligned on any of the four active lines. Then, the acquired number is 0 and the sixth bonus game is awarded thereafter. This sixth bonus is ended when, for example, the winning probability is 1/200 and the prescribed number of inserted bonus games is two, three times, or eight games are activated. When the sixth bonus is won internally by lottery and the sixth bonus flag is set, the sixth bonus can be established. In addition, it is rare that only the sixth bonus is won alone, and as with the first bonus, it is won simultaneously with a rare small role. Similarly to the second bonus, even if the sixth bonus is won internally, the winning probability of the replay role does not change and the RT1 state is maintained.

  That is, if the bonus group is divided according to whether or not the winning probability of the replay role is changed, the first bonus (BB1), the third bonus (BB3), and the fifth bonus (RB1) are the bonus groups A that change. The second bonus (BB2), the fourth bonus (BB4), and the sixth bonus (RB2) become a bonus group B (non-variable opportunity) that is not a variable opportunity. Note that even if the bonus group B is won at the same time as the replay 2 described later, the replay probability does not change.

  (7) Bell (FR1): This is the title when the bell symbols are aligned on the effective line, and the number acquired is 15. When the bell wins in the lottery, one condition device for FR1 (fruit 1) is activated. When FR1 is internally won independently, the bell symbol stops on any one of the active lines regardless of the stop operation sequence of the stop button unit 10, and a winning is always made. In addition, as will be described later, if a plurality of plums for a push order control (a plurality of parts in a plurality of push order regulation small roles) and a bell small role are simultaneously elected, an internal winning is made. When the stop button portion 10 is stopped in the first small role drawing push order in accordance with a plurality of partial push order prescribed small roles, the bell small role is won, while an internal winning plum small role Neither of them wins a prize. In addition, when the stop operation is not performed in the first small role drawing push order (that is, when the stop operation is performed in a first small role kicking push order different from the first small role drawing push order), the bell small role is No winnings at all. However, although one of the winning prizes will be won at a low probability, in most cases it will be displayed when you miss the winning prize or some of the winning prizes. The small symbol koboshi design (RT start 1 to RT start 3), which is a predetermined design, stops on the active line, and the number of medals earned is 0, and the replay probability from RT in the initial state after bonus to RT1 Will migrate. Note that RT is generally low and RT1 is in a low probability state with a replay probability of about 1 / 7.3, and even if it is the same probability or different, it does not change so much. 2 and the replay 4 are not lottery, but the replay 2 is lottery for the first time at RT1. On the other hand, even if the replay 2 and the replay 4 are lottery during the RT in general, if neither the replay 2 nor the replay 4 is prepared, the result will be the same as not having the lottery. You may do it.

  (8) Push order regulation small role (FR2 to FR28: 27 in total): (Plum (red), Plum (blue), Plum (white)) on the left drum 2a, Plum (red) ), Plum (blue), plum (white)), or any of (plum (red), plum (blue), plum (white)) on the right drum 2c stops on the active line, Two. There are a total of 27 (plural) push order regulation small roles, but 6 (plural part) of them are to be won internally at the same time as the bell. If a stop operation is performed in the order of pressing determined uniquely by the role, the bell small role wins. On the other hand, if the stop operation is performed in the order of the first small role kicking, the bell small role is not won at all, either one of the plum small roles is won or the small role Koboshi pattern is on the effective line Is displayed.

  (9) Four-cherry (FR29): This is the title when the cherry symbol stops on the effective line of the middle drum 2b. The number obtained is one per line, but four effective lines pass. Therefore, it becomes a total of 4 sheets. When a cherry is won internally by lottery, one FR29 condition device is activated, and an assist stock lottery (AT stock lottery: range of 0 to 255 times) is performed inside the gaming machine. This four-cherry is a single symbol small part, and no matter what symbol stops on the left drum 2a and the right drum 2c, it is irrelevant to winning. In addition, 4 cherries are a strong 4 cherries that are easy to win simultaneously and AT stock with a weak 4 cherries (double cherries) with a medium bonus winning rate and AT stock winning rate internally. The ratio is 3: 1.

  (10) One cherry (FR30): This is the title when the cherry symbol or the black bar symbol stops on the effective line of the left drum 2a, and the number obtained is one. When a cherry wins in the lottery, one FR30 condition device is activated, and an assist stock lottery (AT stock lottery: range of 0 to 16 times) is performed inside the gaming machine. The probability is quite low at around 1%, and the simultaneous winning probability with bonus is set at 0.5%. When the cherry symbol stops at the lower part of the left drum 2a, the player aims at the cherry symbol on the middle drum 2b to check whether it is a strong four-cherry or not, and then the cherry symbol on the right drum 2c after becoming a double cherry. Aim for the triple cherry. Thereby, a player's expectation can be given.

  (11) Bonus confirmed combination (FR31): When the left drum 2a (blue 7), the middle drum 2b (red 7), and the right drum 2c (black bar) stop on the effective line, the number of winning is 1 Since the bonus is confirmed, the player feels extremely hot. The bonus final combination is also provided to change the reel stop control.

  (12) Replay 1 (Replay 1): This is the title when three replay symbols are aligned on the active line. In response to this, no medals will be acquired, and RP1 and flag will be set in the flag area, and this will be selected alone. In such a case, the replay 1 always operates. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. In addition, if one of the other replays 2 to 4 to be described later is simultaneously selected, any of the replay symbols is displayed and operated according to the pressing order, but it does not trigger the change of RT.

  (13) Replay 2 (replay 2): This is the title when the left drum 2a (replay), middle drum 2b (replay), and right drum 2c (blue replay) are aligned on the active line. On the other hand, no medals are acquired, and if the RP2 / flag is set in the flag area and the player is elected alone, the replay 2 always operates. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. In addition, when Replay 2 is displayed on the active line in the RT1 state (the normal game state with a replay probability of about 1 / 7.3), the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.5-1 / 2. Transition to the RT2 state. Replay 1, Replay 2, and Replay 3 to Replay 5 to be described later can be selected by winning multiple choices, and when the correct push order is reached, Replay 2 or Replay 4 is activated, The advantageous RT2 state is reached. In addition, when winning in assist stock or assist lottery, the assist function is activated, so that medals can be efficiently acquired. Note that this RT2 state is infinite (the end is not fixed), but when any one of a plurality of small role embroidery symbols that trigger RT fluctuation described later stops on the active line, it falls to the RT1 state.

(14) Replay 3 (RP3): This is a title when the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (blue replay), and the right drum 2c (replay) are aligned on the active line. The medal is not acquired, and if the RP3 / flag is set in the flag area and the player is elected alone, the replay 3 always operates. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be performed without inserting a new medal.

  (15) Replay 4 (RP4): The title when the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (blue replay), and the right drum 2c (blue replay) are aligned on the active line. No medals are acquired, and RP4 / flag is set in the flag area, and replay 4 is always activated when a single winner is won. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. When the replay 4 is displayed on the active line in the RT1 state (the normal game state having a replay probability of about 1 / 7.3), the state shifts to the RT2 state in which the replay probability has increased to about a half. By repetitively winning Replay 1 to Replay 5, it is possible to make a five-choice push order replay, and when the push order is correct, Replay 2 or Replay 4 is activated, resulting in an RT2 state that is advantageous to the player. In addition, when winning in assist stock or assist lottery, the assist function is activated, so that medals can be efficiently acquired. Note that this RT2 state is infinite, but when any one of the plurality of small-choice symbols is stopped on the active line, it falls to the RT1 state.

  (16) Replay 5 (RP5): The title when the left drum 2a (red 7), the middle drum 2b (replay), and the right drum 2c (replay) are aligned on the active line. No medals are earned and RP5 / flag is set in the flag area, but it is not won alone. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. Note that the replay 5 is a replay for controlling the pressing order, and is actually displayed only when one of the bonuses is being won internally, otherwise it is not aligned on the active line. Therefore, if the replay 5 is activated in a state where it is unknown whether the bonus is won or not, the player is relieved because the bonus is determined.

  (17) RT start eye 1: (Plum (red), plum (blue), plum (white)) on the left drum 2a, (Plum (red), plum (blue), plum (white) on the middle drum 2b )), When either (bell) or (blue replay) on the right drum 2c stops on the active line, it becomes a small role, and the general gaming state that is the initial state after the RT2 state or the bonus game ends Falls or transitions to the RT1 state. The general gaming state and the RT1 state have almost the same or the same probability that the winning probability of replay is about 1 / 7.3.

  (18) RT start eye 2: Any of (Plum (red), Plum (blue), Plum (white)) on the left drum 2a, (Bell), (Replay) (Blue replay) on the middle drum 2b When any of (Plum (red), Plum (blue), Plum (white)) on the right drum 2c stops on the active line, it becomes a small role, and is in the RT2 state or the initial state after the bonus game ends. Fall or transition from the general gaming state to the RT1 state.

  (19) RT start eye 3: left drum 2a (bell), middle drum 2b (plum (red), plum (blue), plum (white)), right drum 2c (plum (red), When either of the plums (blue) or plums (white)) stops on the active line, it becomes a small role, and falls or transitions from the RT2 state or the initial game state after the bonus game to the RT1 state. .

  FIG. 59 is a combination table of condition devices, and shows a state where a bell combination and a plurality of plum combinations are won simultaneously.

There are nine types of left bells from 1 to 9. When the left stop button 10a is operated at the first stop, the bell small part wins, while when the other stop button portions 10 are operated for the first stop, The winning combination is only made when the small role is displayed or the plum small portion is retracted. Each left bell wins a bell role and six different plum roles simultaneously as shown.

  There are nine types of middle bells 1 to 9, and when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop, the bell small part wins, while when the other stop button portions 10 are operated for the first stop, The winning combination is only made when the small role is displayed or the plum small portion is retracted. As shown in the figure, each middle bell wins a bell role and six different plum roles simultaneously.

  There are nine types of right bells from 1 to 9. When the right stop button 10c is operated at the first stop, the bell small part wins, while when the other stop button portions 10 are operated for the first stop, The winning combination is only made when the small role is displayed or the plum small portion is retracted. Each right bell wins a bell role and six different plum roles simultaneously as shown.

  FIG. 60 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series.

  For example, when the left bell 1 shown in FIG. 59 is won by random lottery, the condition devices (bell, bell, bell), (red plum, red plum, red plum), (red plum, blue plum, blue, as shown) (Plum), (Red Plum, White Plum, White Plum), (Blue Plum, Red Plum, Red Plum), (Blue Plum, Blue Plum, Blue Plum), (Blue Plum, White Plum, White Plum) The flag is activated. When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop in this state, the main control unit 100 matches the stored control information (the bell symbol is drawn at the first left stop) (the pressing order is “correct”). Therefore, regardless of the order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation after that, only the small bell is always awarded and 15 medals are paid out. That is, the main control unit 100 starts a variable display game that fluctuates three symbol sequences, and any of the 27 (plural) plum small roles which are the bell small role and the push order regulation small role by lottery drawing. Or 6 at the same time. When the stop button portion 10 is operated in the pressing order according to the six (plural part) plum small parts, the bell symbol is stopped on the active line to win the bell small part, as will be described later. At the same time, stop control is performed so that none of the six prize winning combinations won at the same time are won. In addition, each notation of red plum, blue plum, and white plum has the same meaning as plum (red), plum (blue), and plum (white).

  FIG. 60A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, the player makes the first stop and presses the left stop button 10a. When the stop operation is performed when the replay No. 8 is at the reference position (the state in which the No. 8 replay can immediately stop at the lower position of the left drum 2a. See FIG. 60B), the main control unit 100 is one of the active lines. The pull-in control is performed so that only one bell symbol stops. In this case, no. 7 is stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a. No. 5 bell symbol also stops at the top, so avoid it. The bell symbol 5 is stopped at the lower position (see FIG. 60C). As a result, the left drum 2a slides three frames and stops.

  FIG. 61 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series.

  FIG. 61 (A) is the same as FIG. 60 (C). In the state where the left drum 2a is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed in the lower stage, the player stops the middle stop button 10b in the second stop. The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. 5 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 61B). Since the five bell symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames at the farthest, any bell symbol in the pull-in range should be stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b to be in a tempered state. Is possible. The tempered state in FIG. 61 (B) is also referred to as a “reach state” with a predetermined role as a synonym.

When the player performs a stop operation on the right stop button 10c in the third stop in the tempered state of FIG. The bell symbol 4 is stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 61C). Since the three bell symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged at intervals of 6 frames, any bell symbol can be stopped at the upper or lower stage of the right drum 2c to win a prize (in the figure). Second line).

  FIG. 62 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 62 (A) is the same as FIG. 60 (C), and when the player stops the right stop button 10c in the second stop when the left drum 2a is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed in the lower stage. The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. The bell symbol 4 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 62B). When the player performs a stop operation on the middle stop button 10b in the third stop in this tempered state, the main control unit 100, for example, The bell symbol 5 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b, and the bell role is won on the second line (see FIG. 62C). In other words, when any of the left bells 1 to 9 is won, if the first pressing order is the left stop button 10a, the bell will win regardless of the operation thereafter.

  FIG. 63 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series.

  Similarly, when the left bell 1 shown in FIG. 59 is elected, as shown, the condition devices (bell, bell, bell), (red plum, red plum, red plum), (red plum, blue plum, blue plum) , (Red Plum, White Plum, White Plum), (Blue Plum, Red Plum, Red Plum), (Blue Plum, Blue Plum, Blue Plum), (Blue Plum, White Plum, White Plum) Operate.

  FIG. 63A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, the main control unit 100 determines that, for example, the middle stop button 10b is set to No. If the stop operation is performed when the replay No. 8 is at the reference position, it is determined that the control information to be stored (the bell symbol is pulled in at the first left stop) does not match (the pressing order is “incorrect answer”). In this case, the main control unit 100 can stop any of the red plum, blue plum, and white plum symbols with two conditional devices instead of the one conditional device. Plum symbols within 5 frames from the middle are stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (that is, on the effective line). For example, the main control unit 100 starts from the position shown in FIG. The red plum symbol 4 is slid by 3 frames and stopped at the middle stage of the intermediate drum 2b (see FIG. 63C). In this case, since the bell symbol does not stop on the active line, the winning of the bell is lost at this stage.

  FIG.64 and FIG.65 is the schematic diagram which showed the symbol display state of the window part in time series.

  FIG. 64 (A) is the same as FIG. 63 (C). When the middle drum 2b is stopped and the red plum symbol is displayed in the middle, the player stops the left stop button 10a with the second stop. . When the stop operation is performed when the blue 7 of 9 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 starts from the position shown in FIG. 64 (B), No. which is the symbol of the condition device (red plum, red plum, red plum). The red plum symbol 6 is slid by one frame and stopped on the upper stage of the left drum 2a on the effective line (see FIG. 64C). In the second stop operation of the left stop button 10a, no. When the 13 blue plum symbols can be retracted, the blue plum symbols are similarly stopped on the active line (not shown). Therefore, if the stop operation procedure is wrong, the plum is tempered with a probability of about two thirds.

FIG. 65 (A) is also the same as FIG. 63 (C). When the middle drum 2b is stopped and the red plum symbol is displayed in the middle stage, the player stops the left stop button 10a with the second stop. No. When the cherry blossom of No. 3 is in the reference position, the main control unit 100 causes the red plum symbol of the condition device (red plum, red plum, red plum) or blue of the condition device (blue plum, red plum, red plum). None of the Plum symbols are within 5 frames and cannot be drawn on the active line, so there are 6 Plum winnings (several small winning roles in multiple push order) ) Is stopped at the upper stage of the left drum 2a on the effective line (see FIG. 65C). Therefore, if the stop operation procedure is wrong, the plum is not tempered with a probability of about one third, and the Koboshi eye symbol of the plum small part is displayed.

  66 and 67 are schematic views showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 66 (A) is the same as FIG. 64 (C) and shows a state in which the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b are stopped and the red plum symbol is tempered. In this state, the player stops the right stop button 10c at the third stop, When the blue replay of No. 6 is in the reference position and the stop operation is performed, the main control unit 100 starts from the position shown in FIG. 66 (B), No. which is the symbol of the condition device (red plum, red plum, red plum). The red plum symbol of No. 3 is slid by one frame and stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c on the effective line, and (red plum, red plum, red plum) is won (see FIG. 66C). Therefore, if the plum small combination is mistaken for the stop operation procedure, the plum small combination wins with a probability of about one third.

  FIG. 67 (A) is also the same as FIG. 64 (C), and shows a state where the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b are stopped and the red plum symbol is tempered. In this state, the player stops the right stop button 10c at the third stop, When the red 7 of No. 2 is at the reference position (ie, when the No. 3 red plum goes too far), the main control unit 100 cannot pull in the red plum symbol, so FIG. 67 (B) From the position shown, no. The 20 blue replay symbols are slid one frame and stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c on the effective line, and the RT start first symbol is displayed. Therefore, if the Plum small part is tempered by mistake in the stop operation procedure, the small part Koboshi eye symbol (predetermined symbol displayed when the small part is missed) is placed on the active line with a probability of about two-thirds. Stop.

  FIG. 68 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series.

  FIG. 68 (A) is the same as FIG. 65 (C), and shows a state in which the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b are stopped and the small role symbol is symbolized. In this state, the player stops the right stop button 10c at the third stop, When the stop operation is performed when the blue replay of No. 6 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 starts from the position shown in FIG. The red plum symbol of No. 3 is slid by one frame and stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c on the effective line, and the RT start eye 3 is displayed. In addition, the plum symbol of the right drum 2c at the RT start eye 3 may be any of a red plum symbol, a blue plum symbol, or a white plum symbol. (Predetermined symbol displayed when missing a small combination) stops on the active line.

  FIG. 69 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 69 (A) shows the same state as FIG. 63 (A), and shows a state where the left bell 1 shown in FIG. 59 is won and all the drums of the drum section 2 are rotating.

In this state, the main control unit 100 determines that the player has stopped for the first time. If the stop operation is performed when the replay of No. 7 is at the reference position, it is determined that the control information to be stored (the bell symbol is pulled in at the first left stop) does not match (the pressing order is “wrong answer”). In this case, the main control unit 100 can stop any of the red plum, blue plum, and white plum symbols with two conditional devices instead of the one conditional device. Plum symbols within 5 frames from the top are stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c (that is, on the active line). For example, the main control unit 100 starts from the position shown in FIG. The red plum symbol 3 is slid by two frames and stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 69C). In this case, since the bell symbol does not stop on the active line, the winning of the bell is lost at this stage.

  The drum stop state after this is the same as in FIGS. 63 to 68, according to the player's stop operation, either the Plum winning combination wins, or the RT starting eye 1 to RT starting point of the small winning combination symbol Since only one of 3 is displayed, the description is omitted (incorporated).

  FIG. 70 is a combination table of condition devices, and shows a state where re-game players are won simultaneously.

  There are five types of push order replays from push order lip 1 to push order lip 5 (abbreviation of “push order replay”).

  When the stop operation is performed in the order of the left stop button 10a at the first stop, the middle stop button 10b at the second stop, and the right stop button 10c at the third stop, the push order lip 1 is replayed 2 (replay, replay, blue Replay: Refer to FIG. 58) is stopped and activated on the active line, but if it is stopped by a different operation procedure, Replay 1 (Replay, Replay, Replay: Refer to FIG. 58) is stopped on the active line. Operate. As described with reference to FIG. 58, when Replay 2 is displayed on the active line in the RT1 state (the normal game state having a replay probability of about 1 / 7.3), the replay probability has increased to about 1/2. Since it shifts to the state, it becomes an advantageous state for the player when the re-game 2 is activated.

  When the stop operation is performed in the order of the left stop button 10a at the first stop, the right stop button 10c at the second stop, and the middle stop button 10b at the third stop, the push order Lip 2 is different while the replay 2 is activated. When the stop operation is performed in the operation procedure, the replay 1 is activated.

  When the stop operation is performed in the order of the middle stop button 10b at the first stop, the left stop button 10a at the second stop, and the right stop button 10c at the third stop, the push order Lip 3 is different while the replay 2 is activated. When the stop operation is performed in the operation procedure, the replay 1 is activated.

  When the stop operation is performed in the order of the middle stop button 10b at the first stop, the right stop button 10c at the second stop, and the left stop button 10a at the third stop, the pushing sequence Lip 4 is different while the replay 2 is activated. When the stop operation is performed in the operation procedure, the replay 1 is activated.

  When the right stop button 10c is stopped in the first stop, the re-play 2 is activated regardless of the operation procedure of the left stop button 10a and the middle stop button 10b. When the operation other than the right stop button 10c is stopped, the replay 1 is activated.

  71 is a state transition diagram, FIG. 71A is a gaming state transition diagram of the main control unit 100, and FIG. 71B is a gaming state transition diagram of the sub-control unit 160.

  In FIG. 71A, a general game (denoted as “general medium” or “general game” in the figure) is started from the next game after the bonus game is completed or the next game after the stage setting value is re-entered. . The replay probability in this general game is about 1 / 7.3. In particular, RT replay (replay 2 and replay 4) is not won at all, or RT replay is won at the same time as the bonus, so the RT2 state (high Probability re-playing state: about 1 / 1.5) is not directly transferred. In the case of winning RT replay during a general game, it is optimal not to draw at all as described above, although it is acceptable if the number is about 1 to 5.

  In the general game (three or one specified number), the push order bell wins internally, and if the stop button 10 stops operation procedure, the small role koboshi design (RT start 1 to RT start 3 design) When displayed on the active line (see FIG. 58), the RT1 state is entered from the next game. The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3 (exactly the same or almost the same probability is adopted), and all the combinations shown in FIG. Become. That is, the general game and the game in the RT1 state are normal games having a replay probability of about 1 / 7.3 and substantially the same. Even if any of the bonus groups B is won internally during a normal game, the replay probability remains low because it is not an opportunity to change the RT, but the replay probability does not increase due to the presence of the bonus group B. However, the possibility of winning a bonus remains, and the expectation continues for that much, which is very effective in improving game playability.

  When RT replay (replay 2 and replay 4) is internally won and activated in the RT1 state, the RT2 state is reached in which the replay probability has increased to approximately 1 / 1.5. Also, in the RT2 state, the winning probability of the small role is about 1/3, so the combined probability of the small role and the replay is 1/1 (100%) or (65526 to 65535) / 65536 (the number of lost numbers is about 1 to 10) ) Note that the hatched portion in FIG. 71A indicates a high probability replaying state.

  When the push order bell wins in the state of RT2 and the stop button 10 is missed in the stop operation procedure, and the small role symbol is displayed on the active line (see FIG. 58), the RT1 state is started from the next game. Falls to. However, if AT stock (assist time stock) remains, when push order lip 1 to push order lip 5 (see FIG. 70) is elected, by notifying the push order that replay 2 is aligned, It is possible to return to the RT2 state again (that is, an operation error can be relieved).

  When bonus group A is internally won in the RT2 state, the replay probability is about 1 / 1.5 in the RT3 state as in RT2, while the RT2 state is maintained when the bonus group B is internally won in the RT2 state. Keep doing. In addition, if any of the bonus group A for RT change opportunity is won internally during normal game, the replay probability is in the RT3 state with a high probability, but at this time RT replay (replay 2 and replay 4) is displayed. If not, the player will be convinced that Bonus Group A will win internally. In other words, the bonus group A is determined when the replay probability is high even though it is not an RT change opportunity. Due to the presence of the bonus group A and the bonus group B, the gameability is improved.

  In FIG. 71 (B), the sub-control unit 160 receives a chance zone (RT2, internal RT2 or internal RT3) when RT replay is activated alone or at the same time as a bonus during normal game. ). When entering this chance zone, regardless of whether or not there is AT stock, when the push order bell is won internally for at least 7 games, the stop operation procedure of the stop button 10 is announced (for example, “left” “middle” “right”) Announce that you press the button). As a result, the fall to the RT1 state is prevented, and the player's expectation is struck. If there is no AT stock, ART (assist replay time) will not be activated, and then the player will miss the stop operation procedure of the stop button 10 to make a small role koboshi design (RT start 1 to RT start 3 When the symbol is displayed on the active line, the state returns to the RT1 state.

On the other hand, if there is at least one AT stock in the AT lottery in advance by rare small role winning, or the AT lottery performed simultaneously with RT replay winning or bonus winning, ART is activated (shaded area in FIG. 71 (B)) ). This ART game is divided into the first half and the second half. In the first half, the main character runs up the stairs while digesting the game, aiming for a high floor (for example, the 50th floor) where the bonus is fixed, and in the second half the main character is the enemy character If you win the battle, the bonus will be confirmed.

  Now, returning to FIG. 71, a more detailed description will be given.

  When the push order bell is won internally in the general game and the stop operation procedure of the stop button 10 is missed, the small role koboshi design (RT start 1 to RT start 3 design) is displayed on the active line. The RT1 state is entered from the next game. When RT replay (replay 2 and replay 4: replay probability increasing role) is internally won and activated (replay probability increasing symbol is displayed on the active line) in the RT1 state, the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.5. It will be in RT2 state. The RT1 state is a so-called “infinite RT”, and the main control unit 100 continues without determining the number of games.

  In the state of RT2, when the push order bell wins internally and the stop button 10's stop operation procedure is missed, and the small role Koboshi eye symbol (replay probability descending symbol) is displayed on the active line, the next game starts RT1. Fall into a state. The RT1 state that falls from this RT2 state is also commonly referred to as “infinite RT”, and the main control unit 100 continues without determining the number of games.

  The main control unit 100 draws all the combinations shown in FIG. 58 using the extracted random numbers, and at least a bonus A combination (first bonus (BB1), third bonus (BB3) and fifth bonus (RB1)) or bonus One of the B combinations (second bonus (BB2), fourth bonus (BB4), and sixth bonus (RB2)) is won internally. Then, when the bonus A combination is won internally, the main control unit 100 increases the replay winning probability in the next and subsequent games, while maintaining the current replay winning probability in the next and subsequent games when the bonus B combination is won internally. .

  As described above, the main control unit 100 continues the RT1 state and the RT2 state without deciding the number of games, whereas the bonus control B and the RT replay (replay probability increasing role) are simultaneously stored in the RT1 state. When winning is selected and a replay probability increasing symbol (replay, replay, blue replay) is displayed on the active line, the current replay winning probability is maintained in the next and subsequent games. In other words, the player can quickly know that the bonus combination B has been won internally by recognizing the maintenance of the low probability state although the replay probability should be increased.

  Similarly, the main control unit 100 continues the RT1 state and the RT2 state without determining the number of games, whereas in the RT1 state, the lottery means must have a bonus A combination and a small combination (FR29 or FR30 must be aligned). When the winning combination: replay probability non-rising role) is simultaneously won internally, a cherry role (replay probability non-rising symbol) is displayed on the active line, and the winning probability of replay is increased in the next game. That is, by recognizing that the replay probability has increased to a high probability state even though the replay probability should not increase, the player can quickly know that the bonus A role has been won internally. .

  Further, the main control unit 100 continues the RT1 state and the RT2 state without determining the number of games, whereas the bonus control B and the RT replay are simultaneously won internally in the RT1 state, and the replay probability is on the active line. If it is a rising symbol but is displayed, the winning probability of the current replay will be maintained in the next and subsequent games, while in the RT1 state, when the lottery means has won the bonus A role and the small role at the same time, Display the cherry role on the active line and increase the winning probability of replay in the next and subsequent games. In other words, by maintaining the low probability state even though the replay probability should be increased, the replay probability should be increased to the high probability state while the replay probability should not be increased, The player can quickly know that Bonus B has been won internally.

  FIG. 72 is a conceptual diagram showing a lottery range for the number of ART games.

  When the special replay combination and bonus combination are simultaneously won internally, the sub-control unit 160 has a game number range that is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (in this case, 50 games) meaning that the bonus combination is won internally. The number of games for which the assist function is activated is selected by lottery (see FIG. 72A). However, as a matter of course, the lottery result may be less than the predetermined number (for example, about 10 to 49 games). In addition, although the total number of assist games may be drawn by one lottery, the number of assist games may be 50 or more as a result.

  On the other hand, if the special replay combination and bonus combination are not won at the same time, the number of games for which the assist function is activated is selected within the range of the number of games less than the predetermined number (50 games). It does not exceed the number (see FIG. 72B). If the bonus combination is won internally during the subsequent ART game in a state where the bonus combination is not internally won, the number of games that activate the assist function may be redrawn. As a result, the longer the number of ART games continues, the higher the player's expectation of winning a bonus. Moreover, when the number of ART games reaches a predetermined number (50 games), the bonus internal winning is confirmed, and the player knows in advance that the enemy character will be defeated in battle, so the player is impressed with excitement. Not only can you look at the battle with a sense of security.

  Here, returning to FIG. 71 (B), if the second half of the ART is a battle effect and the bonus has been won internally, the “Bonus Confirmation” screen is displayed after the number of ART games in the second half is exhausted, while the bonus is won internally. If not, the game proceeds to the chance zone again after the number of ART games in the latter half is exhausted, and the activation / non-activation of ART is determined and repeated according to the number of ART stocks. When the bonus is not the simultaneous winning with the RT replay, the “bonus confirmation” screen is displayed through a fierce continuous production.

  FIG. 73 is a timing chart of the max bet button.

  As described above, in the RT2 state and the RT3 state, the combined probability of the small role and the replay is almost 100%, and the main control unit 100 preferentially controls the drawing in the order of the replay symbol and the small role symbol. Even if the bonus is won internally, it is very difficult to align the bonus symbol until it is impossible to align the bonus symbol or until it loses.

  Therefore, after displaying the “bonus confirmation” screen, the number of game medals inserted is changed from three to one, thereby changing the random number lottery table of the winning combination and increasing the probability of losing. In this case, in addition to the “bonus confirmation” screen, it is displayed on the liquid crystal so as to bet one. For example, if the replay probability of 3 medals in RT2 or RT3 is 1 / 1.5 and the winning probability of a small role is about 1/3, the loss will be 0%. Since the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, the winning combination probability of the small role is about 1/3, and the loss probability is about 1/2, the bonus symbols can be arranged at a rate of once every two times.

  As a method for betting one medal, it is only necessary to insert one medal from the medal insertion slot. However, in consideration of the convenience of the player, three-times by one simple operation of the max bet button 8 is multiplied by one The applicant has devised a switching method.

The max bet button 8 is used when a maximum of three stored medals in the medal storage device are inserted by an on-off operation (on for less than 0.8 seconds) in a normal game (general game or RT1). (See FIG. 73A). On the other hand, after turning on the Max bet button 8, after 3 sheets are inserted, the button is continuously pressed for 0.8 second or longer (the optimum value is in the range of 0.6 to 1 second).
Then, two of the three inserted medals are returned to the receiving tray 15, and the display of the inserted number LED 4a is set to 1 (see FIG. 73 (B)). When one or two sheets are inserted, if the max bet button 8 is operated at the timing shown in FIG. 73A, three sheets are inserted. Further, when one or two sheets are inserted, if the max bet button 8 is operated at the timing shown in FIG. 73 (B), three sheets are inserted, and two of them are returned to the receiving tray 15 by the medal dispensing device 18, and finally One card will be inserted.

  In other words, when the “bonus confirmation” screen is displayed and the player is instructed to bet one, the player can place a bet by simply pressing and holding the max bet button 8 for 0.8 seconds or more. Rich. Further, since it is not necessary to provide a single betting dedicated button separately from the max betting button 8, the manufacturing cost is also reduced.

  As another example, instead of having the medal payout device 18 pay out two coins after inserting three coins by operating the max bet button 8, the main control unit 100 changes the display of the insert number LED 4a from three to one. The number of difference is added to the medal stored number display LED 4b and displayed. Further, when the main control unit 100 adds two pieces of the difference quantity to the medal stored number display LED 4b and reaches the maximum display quantity of 50 pieces, the main control unit 100 causes the medal payout device 18 to have the same number as the remaining number of the difference quantity. Pay out the game media. For example, if the maximum bet button 8 is continuously operated when the display quantity of the medal storage number display LED 4b is 49, the main control unit 100 displays the display quantity of the medal storage number display LED 4b by adding to the maximum display quantity 50. Then, the remaining one is paid out from the medal payout device 18.

  Further, when the max bet button 8 is operated in a state where the number of medals stored in the medal storage number display LED 4b is displayed (0 to 50 in the case of a revolving game machine), the number of inserted medals ( The number of medals inserted from the medal insertion unit 5 including the number of medals inserted) is displayed on the number-of-insertions LED 4a, and the subtracted storage amount obtained by subtracting the amount inserted from the stored amount of medals displayed by the medal storage number display LED 4b is the number of stored medals. Displayed on the display LED 4b. For example, when the max bet button 8 is operated with the medal storage number display LED 4b displaying “50” and the insertion number LED 4a displaying “1”, the main control unit 100 sets the insertion number LED 4a. The display is changed to “3” which is the maximum number of inserted sheets, and “48” sheets of the subtracted storage quantity obtained by subtracting the input quantity from the stored quantity is displayed.

The main control unit 100 runs a timer (time measuring means), and after the three bets are inserted by turning on the max bet button 8, continuously press and hold for a period of 0.8 seconds or more (the optimum value is 0.6 seconds to 1). When the first range is reached (when the first predetermined time is reached or the first predetermined time is exceeded), two (a part) of the inserted three medals are returned from the medal payout device 18 to the tray 15. Then, the display of the inserted number LED 4a is changed to “1” (the number of remaining game media input after subtracting the paid-out number) (see FIG. 73B). When one or two sheets are inserted, if the max bet button 8 is operated at the timing shown in FIG. 73A, three sheets are inserted. Further, when one or two sheets are inserted, if the max bet button 8 is operated at the timing shown in FIG. 73 (B), three sheets are inserted, and two of them are returned to the receiving tray 15 by the medal dispensing device 18, and finally One card will be inserted. Further, when the maximum bet button 8 continues to be operated and the timer counts 0.4 seconds (0.3 to 0.5 seconds), the number of medals inserted from the medal payout device 18 one by one. Continue paying out until the number becomes “0”.
ART Example 3:
The third embodiment is an improvement over the second embodiment. In order to shift from the general game (general game state) shown in FIG. 71A to the RT1 state, the push order bell wins internally, and the stop operation procedure of the stop button 10 is missed, so that the small role koboshi eye symbol (RT start) When the first to third RT starting symbols are displayed on the active line, the RT1 state is entered from the next game, but a relatively long number of games (e.g. Average 10-20 games). In order to solve this problem, the applicant of the present application has devised a method in which one bet of medals is used together.

  FIG. 74 is a payout table when an accessory is not operating (during a normal game, the specified number is 1).

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on an effective line (see FIG. 57) corresponding to the number of game medals inserted. In this case, the same is true regardless of the number of inserted sheets.

  The main control unit 100 does not perform the six bonus lotteries of the first bonus to the sixth bonus described in FIG. In addition, although the present embodiment is an extreme example, (7) Bell (FR1), (8) Push order regulation small roles (FR2 to FR28: 27 in total) and (12) Replay 1 (replay) in FIG. Only the lottery of 1) is performed. Only the nine types of left bell, middle bell, and right bell described in FIG. 59 are selected. For example, as a result of the random number lottery by the main control unit 100, the winning order bell is won about 1/2, the replay 1 is about 1 / 7.3, and the loss is about 3/8. As a result, since the small role symbol is displayed in 1/3 (1/2 × 2/3), it is possible to shift from the general game to the RT1 state in about 3 games.

  As a procedure, the main control unit 100 inserts the first lottery table used for the number of three bets (first bet number) by the number of one bet (the second bet number less than the first bet number). By changing to the second lottery table, the probability that the push order small winning combination is won is improved more than the number of three bets (the first bet number). As a result, if the player is instructed to bet one piece after the bonus is finished, he can bet one piece by simply pressing and holding the Max bet button 8 for at least 0.8 seconds, which is about 3 games. Since it can shift to RT1 state in a short time, the conventional feeling of irritation can be reduced.

  More specifically, a variable display game is performed after the bonus game is over, but the winning probability of replay is an arbitrary predetermined probability of about 1 / 7.3 to 1/2, and this state determined in the design stage is a general game. It is called a state. In the general game state variable display game, when the winning combination is drawn, the RT start points 1 to 3 (replay state transition pattern) on the active line when the internal winning bell (FR1) or plum (FR2 to FR28) is missed ) Is displayed, it shifts to the RT1 state where the winning probability of replay is low and the probability of losing is high. In addition, when a lottery is performed in the RT1 state and RT replay (replay probability increasing symbol) is displayed on the active line, the probability that the winning probability of replay will be high and lost without deciding the number of games. If the RT2 state with a low probability is displayed, and the replay probability decreasing symbol is displayed on the active line in the RT2 state, the state shifts to the RT1 state without determining the number of games.

  The main control unit 100 selects a lottery table according to the number of inserted medals, and performs a lottery for a role according to the selected lottery table. When the number of inserted medals is one, the push order bell is internally won with higher probability than when the number of medals is three.

  The main control unit 100 stops the fluctuating symbol sequence (drum unit 2) at a predetermined position in accordance with the operation of the internally selected push order bell and the stop switch, but operates in a procedure that does not allow the winning of the bell role or the plum role. When this is done, the RT start eye 1 to the RT start eye 3 are displayed on the effective line. The sub-control unit 160 instructs the player to bet one by the display effect device 11 and voice in the general game state after the bonus game ends, and the player presses the max bet button 8 for 0.8 seconds or more. A single bet can be made by simply pressing and holding, which is very convenient.

On the other hand, if the player accidentally bets one piece during ART in the RT2 state, the push order small combination will be won by 1/2, and if the push order small combination is missed, the player falls to the RT1 state. become. Therefore, the sub-control unit 160 bets one piece in the RT2 state, and when the push order small combination is won, the sub control unit 160 navigates (navigates) the push order for winning the push order small combination (in this case, the bell small combination). . In particular, during ART in the RT2 state, the push order is navigated so as not to fall into the RT1 state.

  This point will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. The RT1 state is a state in which the winning probability of replay is low and the probability of losing is high, and when the replay probability increasing symbol (replay, replay, blue replay) is displayed on the active line, it is infinite (game The RT2 state is entered (without determining the number of times). The RT2 state is a state in which the winning probability of replay is higher than the RT1 state and the probability of being lost is low, and in the RT2 state, the small role koboshi design (RT start) is a replay probability decreasing symbol on the active line. When the first to the RT start eyes 3) are displayed, the state becomes the infinite RT1 state (without determining the number of games). Then, the swivel type gaming machine accepts three (first prescribed number) medals (game media) or one (second prescribed number) medals, and usually three to four rows of rotating drums (drum unit 2). Or a change display game for changing the reel), and the change of the rotating drum is stopped by operating the stop button unit 10.

  The main control unit 100 selects a lottery table according to the number of inserted medals, and performs a lottery for a role according to the selected lottery table. When the number of inserted medals is one, the sub-control unit 160 causes the internal control of the stop button unit 10 to make the internal winning of the push order bell (replay probability lowering role) with a higher probability than when the number of medals is three. The operation order is announced (assist) according to the selected push order bell.

  When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the notified operation sequence, the main control unit 100 stops the bell symbol at a predetermined position on the active line and wins the bell role. That is, the RT start eye 1 to the RT start eye 3 are not displayed on the effective line.

On the other hand, when the stop button unit 10 is not operated in the notified operation sequence, the main control unit 100 stops the plum symbol at a predetermined position on the active line and wins the winning combination of the plum or on the active line. RT start eye 1 to RT start eye 3 are displayed. That is, the RT start eye 1 to the RT start eye 3 can be displayed on the effective line.
ART Example 4:
FIG. 75 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.

  In each swirl belt, 20 differently arranged symbols are drawn, and the symbols “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, “ "Gold medal", "Bell", "Cherry", "Plum (Red)", "Plum (White)" of various small roles and "Replay", "Blue Replay" and "Black Bar" where replay is activated It is.

  FIG. 76 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of game medals inserted.

FIG. 76 (B) is an effective line when a prescribed number of game medals are inserted, and in order of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c, the first line (middle stage, middle stage, middle stage: center horizontal line) ) Only during normal operation and SRB (shift regular bonus) operation. The normal time is a time when a “general game” in which the big bonus is in operation and a “normal game” in which the big bonus is not in operation. Therefore, the prescribed number is always 3 throughout the entire game.

  77 and 78 are payout tables at normal time and SRB operation time.

  When all three reels (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. 76).

  (1) Big Bonus 1 (Type 1 consecutive action device): Left drum 2a (blue 7), middle drum 2b (blue 7), right drum 2c (blue 7) are aligned on the effective line. When stopped, the acquired number is 0 and the big bonus 1 (BB1) is given thereafter. The big bonus 1 ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/16000, the prescribed number of games inserted in the big bonus 1 is three, and the number of payouts exceeds 160. When the big bonus 1 is won internally by lottery and the big bonus 1 flag is set, the big bonus 1 can be established. It is rare that only Big Bonus 1 wins alone, and in most cases, it is won at the same time as a cherry (CH), a strong plum or a chance chance, which is called a rare small role. Feels super hot.

  (2) Big Bonus 2 (Type 1 consecutive action device): left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (gold medal), right drum 2c (red 7), or left drum 2a (red) 7) When (red 7) is turned to the middle drum 2b and (replay) is turned to the right drum 2c on the active line and stopped, the obtained number is 0 and the big bonus 2 (BB2) is given thereafter. The big bonus 2 ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/800, the prescribed number of games inserted in the big bonus 2 is three, and the number of payouts exceeds 80. When the big bonus 2 is won in the lottery and the big bonus 2 flag is set, the big bonus 2 can be established. It is rare that only Big Bonus 2 wins alone, and in most cases, it will be won at the same time as cherry (CH), a strong plum or chance chance, which is called a rare small role, and when these are displayed, the player Feels super hot.

  (3) Big Bonus 3 (Type 1 consecutive action device): Left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (red 7), right drum 2c (red 7) are aligned on the active line. When stopped, the acquired number is 0 and the big bonus 3 (BB3) is given thereafter. The big bonus 3 ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/90, the prescribed number of games inserted in the big bonus 3 is three, and the number of payouts exceeds 50. When the big bonus 3 is won in the lottery and the big bonus 3 flag is set, the big bonus 3 can be established. It is rare that only the Big Bonus 3 wins alone, and in most cases, it is won at the same time as a cherry (CH), a strong plum or a chance, which is called a rare small role. Feels super hot.

  (4) Regular Bonus (RB): A general game in which any of Big Bonus 1 to Big Bonus 3 is in operation, and one of the regular bonuses described later is won internally, and a predetermined symbol is aligned on the active line. When stopped, the number of winnings will be 0 and a shift / regular bonus (shift RB or SRB) will be given after that. It is. This shift / regular bonus can be won internally only during the above big bonus, and the replay probability is shifted to a replay state determined by the shift / regular bonus won internally.

The regular bonus combination symbols are: SRB1 for left drum 2a (black bar), middle drum 2b (plum (white)), right drum 2c (gold medal), SRB2 for left drum 2a (black bar), middle drum 2b (gold medal), right drum 2c (plum (white)), SRB3 left drum 2a (blue 7), middle drum 2b (plum (white)), right drum 2c (gold medal) and SRB4 left The drum 2a is (blue 7), the middle drum 2b is (gold medal), and the right drum 2c is (plum (white)). The main control unit 100 maintains the replay probability in the replay state determined by the SRB when the big bonus ends while any of the SRB1 to SRB4 is in the internal winning.

  (5) Replay 1 (replay 1): The title when either the replay symbol or the blue replay symbol is aligned on the active line for each drum, and no medal is obtained for this, but before the game starts Since medals are automatically inserted, the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When replay 1 is won internally by random lottery, RP1 / flag is set in the flag area, and any one of the eight types of combination symbols is displayed, and even if replay 1 is activated, the replay probability does not change. In addition, when internal winning is performed simultaneously with a plurality of combinations (winning patterns) of replay 1 and other replays 2 to 7 to be described later, stop control is performed so that any one replay combination symbol is displayed according to the pressing order.

  (6) Replay 2 (replay 2): left drum 2a (bell), middle drum 2b (bell), right drum 2c (gold medal / plum (red) / plum (white)) on the active line In this case, the medals are obtained (three kinds of symbol combinations), and medals are not acquired for this, but medals are automatically inserted before the game starts. When replay 2 is won internally by random lottery, RP2 / flag is set in the flag area, and any one of the three types of combination symbols is displayed, and even if replay 2 is activated, the replay probability does not change. In addition, since the replay symbol or the blue replay symbol is displayed in a straight line on the lower stage (for example, see the third line in FIG. 14), there is no sense of incongruity for the player.

  (7) Replay 3 (Replay 3): Name (pattern combination) when the left drum 2a (bell), middle drum 2b (replay / blue replay), and right drum 2c (cherry) are aligned on the effective line In contrast, no medal is acquired, but a medal is automatically inserted before the game starts. When replay 3 is won by random lottery, RP3 / flag is set in the flag area, and one of the two types of replay 3 combination symbols is displayed, and even if replay 3 is activated, the replay probability varies do not do. In addition, since the replay symbol or the blue replay symbol is displayed in a straight line on the upper right side (for example, see the fifth line in FIG. 14), there is no sense of incongruity for the player. Since Replay 1 to Replay 3 do not change the replay probability, they are called normal replays.

  (8) Replay 4 (Replay 4): Name when the left drum 2a is (Replay / Blue Replay), the middle drum 2b is (Replay / Blue Replay), and the right drum 2c is (Bell) on the active line. (4 types of symbol combinations), and medals are not obtained for this, but medals are automatically inserted before the game starts. When replay 4 is won internally by random lottery, the RP4 flag is set in the flag area, and any one of the four combinations of replay 4 is displayed and if replay 4 is activated, the replay probability will change. (Tumble replay). When the replay 4 is activated and the replay probability is changed, the replay probability is generally in a low probability state of about 1 / 7.3, which is disadvantageous for the player.

(9) Replay 5 (Replay 5): Name when the left drum 2a is (Replay / Blue Replay), the middle drum 2b is (Replay / Blue Replay), and the right drum 2c is (Cherry) on the active line. (4 types of symbol combinations), and medals are not obtained for this, but medals are automatically inserted before the game starts. When replay 5 is won internally by random lottery, RP5 / flag is set in the flag area, and any one of the four combinations of replay 5 is displayed and if replay 5 is activated, the replay probability varies. (Preparatory replay) When the replay 5 is activated to change the replay probability, the replay probability is generally in the middle probability state of about 1/3, which is somewhat advantageous for the player.

  (10) Replay 6 (Replay 6): Name when the left drum 2a is (bell), the middle drum 2b (replay / blue replay), and the right drum 2c (bell) are aligned on the active line (design combination) In contrast, no medal is acquired, but a medal is automatically inserted before the game starts. When replay 6 is won internally by random lottery, the RP6 flag is set in the flag area, and if one of the two types of replay 6 combination symbols is displayed and replay 6 is activated, the replay probability will change. (Replay) When the replay 6 is activated to change the replay probability, the replay probability becomes a high probability state of about 1 / 1.5, which is very advantageous for the player.

  (11) Replay 7 (replay 7): (Plum (red)) on the left drum 2a, (Bell) on the middle drum 2b, (Gold medal / Plum (red) / Plum (white)) on the right drum 2c This is the name of the combination (three types of symbol combinations) when they are aligned on top, and medals are not obtained for this, but medals are automatically inserted before the game starts. When replay 7 is won internally by random number lottery, RP7 / flag is set in the flag area, and any one of three types of combination symbols is displayed, and even if replay 2 is activated, the replay probability does not change. If you aim for all 7 red and 7 blue symbols on each drum, the 7 red or 7 blue symbols will be displayed in a straight line on the top (see, for example, the second line in FIG. 14), and the AT stock will be fixed. It will be a very hot moment for the person. This replay 7 does not change the replay probability, but is called AT stock replay because the AT stock is fixed.

  Reference is now made to FIG.

  (12) Plum (AT lottery combination): This is the title when each drum has either a plum (red) symbol or a plum (white) symbol on the active line, and the number obtained is nine. When a plum is won internally by lottery, one plum condition device is activated, and an assist stock lottery (AT stock lottery: range of 0 to 255 times) is performed inside the gaming machine. It is rare that only a big bonus is won alone, and in most cases, the inside of a plum called a rare combination, a cherry (CH), which will be described later, or a weak chance (FR1) or a strong chance (FR2). Since they are won, when these are displayed, the player feels extremely hot.

  (13) Cherry (CH: AT lottery role): This is the title when the cherry symbol stops on the effective line (center position) of the left drum 2a, and the number obtained is two. When a cherry wins in the lottery, one CH condition device is activated, and an assist stock lottery (AT stock lottery: a range of 0 to 255 times) is performed inside the gaming machine. Cherry is a single symbol small part, and no matter what symbols stop on the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c, it is irrelevant to winning. This cherry is the strongest winning role called “Single Choi”, and the winning probability of big bonus and AT stock lottery is as high as 75%, so just displaying this will make the player extremely hot.

  (14) Single piece 1 (FR1: weak chance): left drum 2a (bell), middle drum 2b (red 7 / blue 7 / black bar), right drum 2c (gold medal / plum (red) / Nine types of plum (white)) or six types (replay / blue replay) on the left drum 2a (bell), middle drum 2b (gold medal / plum (red) / plum (white)), and right drum 2c (replay / blue replay) When a total of 15 types) are stopped on the active line, the number acquired is one. Since the single player 1 wins at the same time as any of BB1 to BB3 with a low probability to a medium probability, the player will be excited when this is displayed.

(15) Single-player role 2 (FR2: strong chance): left drum 2a (bell), middle drum 2b (red 7 / blue 7 / black bar), right drum 2c (red 7 / blue 7 / black) Nine types (bar), left bell 2a (bell), middle drum 2b (gold medal / plum (red) / plum (white)), right drum 2c (cherry) are available (12 types in total) When you stop on the line, you get one. Since the single player 1 wins at the same time as any of BB1 to BB3 with medium probability to high probability, when this is displayed, the player feels extremely hot.

  (16) Bell (Bell 1): The title when the bell symbols are aligned on the effective line for each drum. When the bell wins in the lottery, one conditional device for the bell 1 is activated. When Bell 1 is elected alone, the bell symbol stops on the active line regardless of the stop operation sequence of the stop button unit 10, and a prize is always awarded.

  (17) Push order control bell (Bell 2 to Bell 11): This is the title when the symbols shown in FIG. 78 are aligned on the active line, and the number of acquired coins is 15. When a plurality of the bells 1 and the bells 2 to 11 of the pushing order are selected at the same time, the main control unit 100 displays a symbol of any one of the bells on the active line in accordance with the pushing order to win, Stop control is performed to display the target symbol. When the push order control bell wins, the bell design is lower right (see the fourth line in FIG. 14) for the bell 2, the bell design is upper right (see the fifth line in FIG. 14) for the bell 3, and the bell 4 to the bell. 11, since the bell symbol is displayed in a straight line on the upper stage (see the second line in FIG. 14), there is no sense of incongruity for the player.

  As the bell-shaped symbol for the role of the bell, the symbol 1 is the left drum 2a (replay / blue replay), the middle drum 2b (replay / blue replay), and the right drum 2c (gold medal / plum (red) / plum). (White)), twelve types 2 (left) 2a (replay / blue replay), middle drum 2b (bell), right drum 2c (red 7 / blue 7 / black bar), There are 24 types in total. There are 24 types in total: 3 for the left drum 2a (bell), 6 for the middle drum 2b (replay / blue replay) and 6 for the right drum 2c (red 7 / blue 7 / black bar). When the first to third eyes are displayed on the active line, the main control unit 100 changes the replay probability to the replay normal state (replay probability is about 1 / 7.3), which is disadvantageous for the player. .

  FIG. 79 is a combination table of push-order bell condition devices.

  The push order bell means that when the operation order of the stop button part 10 (the push order of the stop button part 10) is correct, the bell small part is always won, whereas when the answer is incorrect, the bell small part is won. It means that the winning role sometimes has a display of Koboshi. There are winning patterns of push order bell 1 to push order bell 12.

  When the push order bell 1 wins in the random number lottery, the condition device (flag) bell 2 + bell 4 + bell 6 + bell 9 + bell 11 stands simultaneously (winning pattern). At that time, if the pressing order of the stop button portion 10 is the left stop button 10a → the middle stop button 10b → the right stop button 10c, the bell 2 is always won (see the shaded portion of the push order bell 1 in the figure). If the pressing order of the stop button portion 10 is the left stop button 10a → the right stop button 10c → the middle stop button 10b, the bell 2 or another bell (bell 4+) depending on the operation timing of the right stop button 10c and the middle stop button 10b. Bell 6 + Bell 9 + Bell 11) wins or the eye is displayed.

Further, when the first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b as the pressing order of the stop button unit 10, another bell (Bell 4 + Bell 6 + Bell 9 + Bell) depending on the operation timing of the left stop button 10a and the right stop button 10c. 11) wins or the eye is displayed, but Bell 2 does not win. When the first stop operation is the right stop button 10c as the pressing order of the stop button unit 10, another bell (Bell 4 + Bell 6 + Bell 9 + Bell 11) is operated according to the operation timing of the left stop button 10a and the middle stop button 10b. Wins or a squeaky eye is displayed, but Bell 2 does not win. The push order bell 2 is the same as the push order bell 1, and the details are as shown in the figure, and the description thereof is omitted. It should be noted that a plurality of the same kind of push order bells are provided in order to prevent a target from being shot, thereby making it impossible to capture.

  When the push order bell 3 wins in the random number lottery, the condition devices (flags) Bell 2 + Bell 4 + Bell 6 + Bell 9 + Bell 11 + FR1 stand simultaneously (winning pattern). At that time, if the pressing order of the stop button portion 10 is the left stop button 10a → the right stop button 10c → the middle stop button 10b, the bell 2 is always won (see the hatched portion of the push order bell 3 in the figure). If the pressing order of the stop button portion 10 is the left stop button 10a → the middle stop button 10b → the right stop button 10c, the bell 2 or another bell (bell 4+) depending on the operation timing of the middle stop button 10b and the right stop button 10c. Bell 6 + Bell 9 + Bell 11) wins or the eye is displayed.

  Further, when the first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b as the pressing order of the stop button unit 10, another bell (Bell 4 + Bell 6 + Bell 9 + Bell) depending on the operation timing of the left stop button 10a and the right stop button 10c. 11) wins or the eye is displayed, but Bell 2 does not win. When the first stop operation is the right stop button 10c as the pressing order of the stop button unit 10, another bell (Bell 4 + Bell 6 + Bell 9 + Bell 11) is operated according to the operation timing of the left stop button 10a and the middle stop button 10b. Wins or a squeaky eye is displayed, but Bell 2 does not win. The push order bell 4 is the same as the push order bell 3, and the details are as shown in the figure, and the description thereof is omitted. It should be noted that a plurality of the same kind of push order bells are provided in order to prevent a target from being shot, thereby making it impossible to capture.

  When the push order bell 5 wins in the random number lottery, the conditional device (flag) bell 1 + bell 4 + bell 11 stands simultaneously (winning pattern). At that time, if the first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b as the pressing order of the stop button section 10, the bell 1 is always won (see the hatched portion of the pressing order bell 5 in the figure). When the stop button 10 is pressed in the order of left stop button 10a → intermediate stop button 10b → right stop button 10c, left stop button 10a → right stop button 10c → intermediate stop button 10b, or first stop operation is right In the case of the stop button 10c, another bell (Bell 4 + Bell 11) wins or a squeak is displayed depending on the operation timing of the stop button unit 10, but the bell 1 does not win. The push order bell 6 to the push order bell 8 are the same as the push order bell 5, and the details are as shown in the figure, and the description thereof is omitted. It should be noted that a plurality of the same kind of push order bells are provided in order to prevent a target from being shot, thereby making it impossible to capture.

  When the push order bell 9 wins in the random number lottery, the condition device (flag) bell 1 + bell 4 + bell 11 + FR1 stands simultaneously (winning pattern). At that time, if the first stop operation is the right stop button 10c as the pressing order of the stop button section 10, the bell 1 is always won (see the hatched portion of the pressing order bell 9 in the figure). When the stop button 10 is pressed in the order of left stop button 10a → intermediate stop button 10b → right stop button 10c, left stop button 10a → right stop button 10c → intermediate stop button 10b, or the first stop operation is in progress In the case of the stop button 10b, another bell (Bell 4 + Bell 11) wins or a squeak is displayed depending on the operation timing of the stop button unit 10, but the bell 1 does not win. The push order bell 10 and the push order bell 12 are the same as the push order bell 9, and the details are as shown in the figure, and the description thereof is omitted. It should be noted that a plurality of the same kind of push order bells are provided in order to prevent a target from being shot, thereby making it impossible to capture.

  FIG. 80 is a combination table of replay condition devices.

When the normal replay is won in the random number lottery, the RP1 + RP2 + RP3 of the condition device (flag) stands at the same time (winning pattern). At that time, any one of RP1, RP2 and RP3 operates regardless of the order of operation of the stop button unit 10. RP means replay or replay (hereinafter the same).

  When the AT stock replay is won in the random lottery, the condition device (flag) RP2 + RP7 stands simultaneously (winning pattern). At that time, regardless of the order of operation of the stop button section 10, either RP2 or RP7 is activated, but when all the red 7 and blue 7 symbols are aimed at each drum, RP7 is activated, The red 7 symbol or blue 7 symbol is displayed in a straight line on the upper stage (for example, see the second line in FIG. 14), and the AT stock is determined.

  When the push order replay 1 is won in the random number lottery, the condition device (flag) RP1 + RP3 + RP5 stands simultaneously (winning pattern). At that time, if the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a as the pressing order of the stop button unit 10, RP1 is activated. Further, if the stop button unit 10 is pressed in the middle stop button 10b → the left stop button 10a → the right stop button 10c, RP5 (preparation replay) operates, while RP3 operates in other operations. When RP5 is activated, the replay probability is changed to a medium probability state of about 1/3, and a preparation mode for starting ART is set. Note that the push order replay 2 to the push order replay 4 are the same as the push order bell 1, and the details are as shown in the figure, and the description thereof is omitted. That is, when the pressing order of the stop button unit 10 is the push order replay 2, the middle stop button 10b → the right stop button 10c → the left stop button 10a, and when the push order replay 3 is the right stop button 10c → the left stop. With the button 10a → intermediate stop button 10b, in the case of push order replay 4, RP5 is activated by the right stop button 10c → intermediate stop button 10b → left stop button 10a, while RP3 is activated by other operations.

  When the push replay 5 is won by random number lottery, the condition device (flag) RP1 + RP4 + RP6 stands simultaneously (winning pattern). At that time, when the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a as the pressing order of the stop button unit 10, RP4 (falling replay) is activated. Further, if the stop button unit 10 is pressed in the middle stop button 10b → the left stop button 10a → the right stop button 10c, RP6 (activation replay) is activated, and RP4 is activated by other operations. When RP6 is activated, the replay probability is changed to a high probability state of about 1 / 1.5, and the ART mode is set. Note that the push order replay 6 to the push order replay 8 are the same as the push order bell 5, and the details are as shown in the figure, and the description thereof is omitted. That is, when the pressing order of the stop button portion 10 is the push order replay 6, the middle stop button 10b → the right stop button 10c → the left stop button 10a, and when the push order replay 7 is the right stop button 10c → the left stop. In the case of the button 10a → intermediate stop button 10b and in the push order replay 8, RP6 is activated by the right stop button 10c → intermediate stop button 10b → left stop button 10a, while RP4 is activated by other operations.

  FIG. 81 is a combination table of condition devices for each replay state.

  (1) Initial replay state: After the stage setting of the play rate, after the RP4 is activated in normal game, after the big bonus symbol is displayed, or after the regular bonus symbol is displayed, the replay probability changes And it will be in this replay state. When a replay is won by random number lottery, RP1 + RP2 + RP3 of the condition device is simultaneously activated, and any one of them operates. The replay winning probability is about 1 / 7.3.

  (2) Normal replay state: The replay probability is changed after the symbol for the bell role in the normal game (the symbol for the winning symbol that the lottery means has selected) is displayed, and this replay state is entered. When the replay is won by random number lottery, as a winning pattern, any one of the condition devices of RP1 + RP3 + RP5, RP1 + RP2 + RP3 + RP5, RP1 + RP3 + RP5 + RP7, or RP1 + RP2 + RP3 + RP5 + RP7 stands at the same time, and any one replay is activated. The replay winning probability is about 1 / 7.3.

(3) Preparation replay state: After the RP5 symbol is displayed in the normal game, the replay probability is changed, and this replay state is established. When a replay is won by random number lottery, as a winning pattern, any set of condition devices of RP1 + RP4 + RP6, RP1 + RP2 + RP4 + RP6, RP1 + RP4 + RP6 + RP7, or RP1 + RP2 + RP4 + RP6 + RP7 stands at the same time, and any one replay is activated. The replay winning probability is about 1/3.

  (4) AT replay state: After the RP6 symbol is displayed in the normal game, the replay probability is changed, and this replay state is established. When a replay is won by random number lottery, as a winning pattern, any one of the condition devices of RP1 + RP2 + RP3 or RP2 + RP7 stands at the same time, and any one replay is activated. The replay winning probability is about 1 / 1.5. In particular, when RP2 + RP7 is won, the addition of AT stock is confirmed, and the number of AT stock is added by the number of lotteries.

  (5) BB internal replay state: After a big bonus is won internally in a normal game, the replay probability changes and this replay state is entered. When a replay is won by random number lottery, RP1 + RP2 + RP3 of the condition device is simultaneously activated, and any one of them operates. The replay winning probability is about 1/3.

  (6) RB internal replay state: In a general game in which the big bonus is operating, the replay probability is changed after the regular bonus (SRB) is won internally, and this replay state is entered. When a replay is won by random number lottery, as a winning pattern, any one of the condition devices of RP1 + RP2 + RP3, RP1 + RP4 + RP6, RP1 + RP2 + RP4 + RP6, RP1 + RP4 + RP6 + RP7, RP1 + RP2 + RP4 + RP6 + RP7, or RP2 + RP7 is activated simultaneously, and any one replay is activated. The replay winning probability is about 1 / 1.5. In particular, when RP2 + RP7 is won, the addition of AT stock is confirmed, and the number of AT stock is added by the number of lotteries.

  FIG. 82 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure.

  The main control unit 100 shifts to step S300 after changing the step set value (including retyping to the same value), displaying the RP4 symbol in the normal game, displaying the big bonus symbol, or displaying the regular bonus symbol. The normal game is played in the initial replay state where the replay probability is about 1 / 7.3. In this initial replay state, since there is only (RP1 + RP2 + RP3) simultaneous winning as a winning pattern for replaying, RP5 and RP6 are not displayed. Is displayed on the active line, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S320 and changes to the normal replay state in which the replay probability is about 1 / 7.3. Migrate to

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S320 and displays the RP5 symbol in the normal game in the normal replay state (step S330), the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S340. If the RP5 symbol is not displayed, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S320.

The main control unit 100 proceeds to Step S340 and proceeds to Step S340 when a small role symbol or a lost symbol (other display: Step S350) is displayed in the normal game in the preparation replay state. On the other hand, when any one of the eyelids 1 to 3 is displayed on the active line in step S360, the process proceeds to step S320 and is changed to the normal replay state (falling). When the RP4 symbol is displayed on the active line in step S370, the process proceeds to step S300 and is changed to the initial replay state (falling). In this embodiment, the fall is made to the deepest initial replay state, but it may be changed to the normal replay state as in the case of the symbol pattern display. That is, when the RP4 symbol is displayed on the active line in the normal game in the preparation replay state, the process may move to step S320 and be changed to the normal replay state.

  On the other hand, when the RP6 symbol is displayed on the active line in step S380, the process proceeds to step S382, where the replay probability is changed to an AT replay state with a high probability of about 1 / 1.5. The sub-control unit 160 determines by lottery whether or not to guide the operation order of a plurality of stop switches provided, and in the case of winning, the navigation / stock number lottery (navigation / stock number) within a range of 1 to 128 sets. Lottery). The sub-control unit 160 guides the operation sequence of the stop switch only for 50 games in one stock. If a big bonus or a rare small role (cherry, plum, chance chance, etc.) is won during that time, the number of added games and additional navigation Stock lottery will also be held.

  When any one of the eyelids 1 to 3 is displayed on the active line in the AT replay state in step S382 (step S384), the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S320 and changes to the normal replay state. . Further, when the RP4 symbol is displayed on the active line in step S386, the process proceeds to step S300 to change to the initial replay state.

  If there is a navigation / stock in this AT replay state, the sub-control unit 160 selects a stop switch for winning the bell 1 or the bell 2 shown in FIG. Guide the sequence of operations. Thereby, it does not fall into a normal replay state. Further, when the push order replay is internally won in step S386, the operation order of the stop switch for winning (actuating) the RP6 shown in FIG. 80 is guided. Thereby, it does not fall into the initial replay state.

  Although there are navigation / stock and AT remaining games, the player may fall into the initial replay state or the normal replay state due to a player's operation error. When the replay or RP6 (AT replay) is won, the operation sequence of the stop switch for operating those replays is guided.

  FIG. 83 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure.

  When the big bonus is won internally (BB condition device is activated), the main control unit 100 sets the BB internal replay state in which the replay probability is about 1/3 in step S400, and then plays the general game by the player's operation. When the BB symbol is displayed on the active line in S405, the process proceeds to step S410 to operate the BB, while if the BB symbol is not displayed, the process proceeds to step S400.

  When BB is activated in step S410, the main control unit 100 sets the replay probability to the initial replay state in step S420 and plays a general game in BB, and RB is won internally in step S425 (condition device operation of shift RB). Then, while the process proceeds to step S430, if the RB does not win internally, the process proceeds to step S420.

  In step S430, the main control unit 100 enters the RB internal replay state with a replay probability of about 1 / 1.5, and then performs a general game by the player's operation, and the number of game medals obtained in step S435 exceeds a predetermined number. If not, the process proceeds to step S440. If exceeded, the big bonus is terminated and the process proceeds to step S470. If the SRB is currently in the internal winning state, the state is canceled and the process ends (that is, shift). RB condition device is lowered to finish.)

When the RB symbol is displayed on the active line in step S440, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S450 and activates the RB. On the other hand, if the RB symbol is not displayed, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S430.

  When the RB is activated in step S450, the main control unit 100 sets the replay probability to the initial replay state in step S460 and plays the RB game. If the RB end condition is satisfied in step S465, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S420. If the number of acquired game medals exceeds a predetermined number during the RB game in step S465, the big bonus is terminated and the process proceeds to step S470.

  When the main control unit 100 finishes the big bonus and proceeds to step S470, the main control unit 100 maintains the replay state as it is. If the SRB is currently selected in step S480, the main control unit 100 proceeds to (2) in FIG. If not elected, the process moves to (1) in the figure. This RB internal replay state is almost the same as the preparation replay state, and any one of the push order replay 5 to the push order replay 8 shown in FIG. 80 is won with high probability, so the ART is set to the AT replay state. In the case of activation, the operation sequence of the stop switch for operating RP6 (activation replay) is guided, while in the case of falling to the initial replay state, the operation immediately falls without guiding the operation sequence. This point is also a point having an especially inventive step.

  FIG. 84 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure up to the start of ART.

  There are a normal route (refer to the flow on the left side of the figure) and a BB route (refer to the flow on the right side of the figure) as a procedure until the ART starts. First, the normal route will be described.

  When the normal game is started, the sub-control unit 160 determines either the normal mode (step S500) or the high probability mode (step S510) by lottery, and a specific opportunity by random number lottery performed by the main control unit 100 in step S520. When the winning combination is won internally, a mode shift lottery is performed in step S522. For example, when a rare small combination (cherry, plum, chance chance, etc.) is won as a specific opportunity, a transition lottery to the high probability mode is performed, and when a replay is won, a transition lottery to the normal mode is performed. In this high probability mode, ART (AT Navi Stock) is elected with a high probability of about 10 to 100 times compared to the normal mode, so that one of many lottery tables is selected. It has become.

  If the ART lottery is not won in step S524, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S500 or step S510. On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 160 is won, the ART stock number lottery (step S526) and the precursor game number lottery (step S528) are performed. The number of precursor games is the number of games required to notify the player that ART has been won, and the transition to the precursor mode of step S530 is continued, and intense effects continue from about 8 games to about 32 games.

  In step S532, the sub-control unit 160 performs the ART winning confirmation effect, waits for any of the push order replay 1 to the push order replay 4 shown in FIG. Navigates (guides) the operating sequence of the stop button unit 10 (stop switch) that wins (activates). The main control unit 100 notifies the sub-control unit 160 of necessary information such as a random number lottery result, an internal replay state, a rotation state and a stop state of the drum unit 2, and a player's operation state each time using a command. In addition, when any of the push order replay 5 to the push order replay 8 is internally won in the preparation replay state, the sub-control unit 160 navigates the operation order of the stop button unit 10 in which the RP 6 wins, and starts ART in step S540. To do.

The sub-control unit 160, when a specific opportunity is won internally by random number lottery at step S542, performs an ART extra lottery (number of games and additional navigation stock) at step S544. The sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the ART termination condition is satisfied in step S546, and if not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S542. If satisfied, the sub-control unit 160 determines the normal mode or the high-accuracy mode by lottery in step S548. Then, the process proceeds to step S500 or step S510.

  Next, the BB route will be described. When the BB is won internally by the random number lottery performed by the main control unit 100 in the normal game (step S550), the sub-control unit 160 performs the mode transition lottery in step S552. When the sub-control unit 160 enters the BB internal winning mode in step S554, the sub-control unit 160 gives a hot game effect for several games and then notifies the player of the selected BB symbol.

  After the BB is activated by the player's operation of the stop button unit 10 (winning: step S556) and the SRB is won internally (step S558), the sub-control unit 160 performs an ART lottery in step S560. Further, the sub-control unit 160 performs an ART lottery when a rare small role (cherry, plum, AT replay, chance chance, etc.) is won in the RB internal replay state (step S562), and the number of acquired game medals exceeds a predetermined number. If so, the big bonus is terminated (step S564). If there is ART stock (step S566), the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S540 and starts ART. If there is no ART stock (step S568), the sub-control unit 160 sets the winning mode in step S552, Move to start (1).

  FIG. 85 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of ART stock notification. 86 to 88 (A) are schematic views of the effect screen displayed by the display effect device, and FIGS. 88 (B) to 88 (D) show the symbol display states of the windows in time series. It is a schematic diagram. 89 to 92 are schematic diagrams of effect screens displayed by the display effect device.

  The sub-control unit 160 notifies the display effect device 11 (video display device) that the ART combination has been won by the winning video during the bonus game shown in steps S556 to S570 in FIG. In addition, when a bonus combination is won at the same time as a small combination or replay during a general game, a similar winning image may be notified (detailed explanation is omitted).

  When the big bonus (BB) starts (activates), the sub-control unit 160 rotates the drum unit 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c) on which a plurality of symbols are drawn in step S600, and draws lots. The internal winning combination is determined in advance, and before the stop button unit 10 (the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, and the right stop button 10c) can be operated, it is superimposed on a background image on which many characters appear, The display winning device 11 is displayed in the lower right position.

  FIG. 86A is a display screen when the replay is won, and FIG. 86B is a display screen when the bell is won. Regardless of the operation order of the stop button unit 10, the player always operates or wins. FIG. 87 (A) is a display screen when cherry is won, and FIG. 87 (B) is a display screen when plum is won. When the stop button unit 10 is stopped for each symbol, these rare small roles are displayed. Won the prize. When the rare small combination is won internally, ART lottery (stock and extra game number lottery) is performed during BB (see step S562 in FIG. 84).

  FIG. 87 (A) shows a display screen when one of SRB1 to SRB4 (see FIG. 77) is won. Three red surprise marks are displayed on the display effect device 11 to avoid the operation of the SRB. , Instruct the player to aim red 7 symbol implicitly. When the player stops the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b while aiming at the red 7 symbol upward, the player stops as if the red 7 symbol is on the upper stage of the ineffective line (see FIG. 88 (B)). . As a result, the operation pattern of the SRB does not stop evenly on the effective line.

If the selected special character is any one of SRB1 to SRB3, when the player operates the right stop button 10c with the red 7 symbol on the upper side in the state of FIG. 88 (B), the upper part of the ineffective line The red 7 symbols are aligned and stopped in a horizontal line, and each symbol flashes to notify the ART winning (see FIG. 88C). The sub-control unit 160 determines the number of ART stocks between 1 and 128 by lottery (see step S560 in FIG. 84). Note that different ART lottery tables (TBL1, TBL2, TBL3) are selected according to the selected SRB1 to SRB3, and the expected value of the ART stock number is determined in the order of SRB1>SRB2> SRB3.

  On the other hand, if the selected special character is SRB4, even if the player operates the right stop button 10c to stop the right stop button 10c while aiming the red 7 pattern in the state of FIG. 88 (B), it slides down to the red 7 The symbols are not aligned (see FIG. 88D). In the case of SRB4, the ART lottery is basically not performed, but the ART lottery may be performed with a very low probability (about 1 to 5%). In addition, the number of surprise marks, the selection probability of the surprise mark display lottery table is distributed so that a plurality of SRB1 to SRB3 are selected and one is easily selected in the case of SRB4. The player can be given more excitement and stimulation and impression when they are all together.

  FIG. 89 (A) is a bonus game in-progress screen. The displayed ART STOCK number is 1, the total payout number is 111, and out of 80 payout numbers in the BB game, 40 are payouts. In this game, it is displayed that the bell small role was won internally.

  In step S605, the sub-control unit 160 determines whether a screen change condition from the bonus game screen to the challenge screen is satisfied (see FIG. 89A). This screen change condition is true or false that the bonus game ends with a predetermined number of games, and the condition is satisfied when true. For example, if the maximum number obtained is 15 and the remaining payout number is 16 to 30, the bonus game may be terminated with the remaining 2 games, so the screen change condition is satisfied. On the other hand, if the remaining payout number is 31 or more, there is no possibility that the bonus game will be completed with the remaining two games, so the screen change condition is not satisfied.

  When the sub-control unit 160 determines that the screen change condition is satisfied in step S605 after the bell small role shown in FIG. 89 (A) has won, the process proceeds to step S610 to display the ART challenge notification screen (FIG. 89). 89 (B)). In the case of FIG. 89 (B), it is displayed that the number of STOCKs on the display ART is one, the total number of payouts is 126, and 55 out of 80 payouts in the BB game are paid out. ing. Therefore, since the BB game is completed with the remaining 25 cards, the number of remaining games until the end of the BB is 2 games at the shortest. Note that the number of internal STOCKs in ART is equal to or larger than the number of displayed STOCKs.

  When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S615, the sub-control unit 160 determines whether the difference in the display STOCK number from the internal STOCK number is 0, 1-2, or 3 or more, and selects the rotating lamp lottery table according to the determination result. To do. This rotating lamp lottery table wins with a probability of 90% when the determination result is 3 or more, and with a probability of 50% when the determination result is 1-2, the calculated value is If it is 0, no win will be won (ie, all will be lost).

  When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S620, the sub-control unit 160 performs lottery of the rotating lamp effect (winning video) using the lottery table. If the sub-control unit 160 wins, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S630. If not, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S635. .

  When the sub-control unit 160 wins the rotating lamp effect (that is, when notifying that the ART combination has been won), in step S630, the Hanamaru video additional lottery (additional video additional lottery with the first probability) is performed. On the other hand, if the rotating lamp effect is not won, in step S635, a flower circle video additional lottery is performed with a low probability, and the process proceeds to step S640.

  When the Hanamaru effect is won in step S640, the sub-control unit 160 receives the internal winning combination (for example, replay) from the main control unit 100 in the next game, and displays a video obtained by adding the Hanamaru video to the replay symbol. It is displayed on the lower right (see FIG. 89C).

  As shown in FIG. 90 (A), the sub-control unit 160 displays an “ART challenge re-notification screen” indicating re-challenge because there is no payout of medals and the number of remaining games has not decreased in the case of replay. To do.

  In step S630, the sub-control unit 160 performs the Hanamaru video additional lottery again. If the Hanamaru effect is won in step S640, the main control unit 100 receives an internal winning combination (for example, a bell small part) in the next game. When notified, an image obtained by adding the flower circle image to the bell symbol is displayed in the lower right (see FIG. 90B). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S650, and a monster appears in the background image of a large number of characters displayed on the display effect device 11 by the operation of the stop button unit 10 by the player. Is displayed to notify that the ART combination has been won (see FIG. 90C). The ART winning notification time is most effective when the operation of the stop button unit 10 is completed, but may be performed at the time of the first stop operation or the second stop operation.

  As a result, FIG. 90 (C) shows that 70 of the displayed ART STOCK numbers are 2, the total payout number is 141, and the payout number in the BB game is 70. it's shown. In particular, the final operation (third stop operation) time point of the stop button unit 10 is effective as the ART notification winning notification time. Note that FIG. 91 shows a case where the flower circle effect is not properly selected in FIG. 90, and only the bell symbol that has been internally won is displayed in the lower right. When the revolving light is displayed and the ART combination notifies the winning, the game shifts to the ART state after the end of the BB game in step S670 (see step S540).

  On the other hand, if the Hanamaru effect is not won in step S640, the sub-control unit 160 displays FIG. 92A on the display effect device 11 as in FIG. 89B, and the main control unit in the next game. When an internal winning combination (for example, a bell small combination) is notified from 100, only a bell symbol image is displayed on the lower right (see FIG. 92B). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S655, and a monster appears in the background image of a large number of characters displayed on the display effect device 11 by the operation of the stop button unit 10 by the player. The letter plate pops out to notify the ART player of the wrong election (see FIG. 92C). If the revolving light is not displayed (not appearing), it is determined in step S660 whether the ART combination is stocked. If it is stocked, the process proceeds to step S670. If it is not stocked, the BB game is played in step S675. End and set the mode (see step S570).

  93 to 94 are schematic views showing the symbol display state of the window.

  The cherry role includes a center cherry (see FIG. 93A) and a strong cherry (see FIG. 93B) as the first strong role, while a weak cherry (see FIG. 93C) as the first weak role. is there. In the case of the center cherry, the cherry symbol stops in the middle stage of the left drum 2a, and the bonus winning probability is 70% and the AT winning probability is 90%, which is extremely hot for the player. In the case of a strong cherry, the cherry symbol stops at the lower stage of the left drum 2a, the middle stage of the middle drum 2b, and the upper stage of the right drum 2c, and the bonus winning probability is 10% and the AT winning probability is 20%. It ’s a hot moment for me, and I ’m both excited and moved. In the case of a weak cherry, the cherry pattern stops in a mountain shape at the lower part of the left drum 2a, the middle part of the middle drum 2b, and the lower part of the right drum 2c, and the bonus winning probability is 3% and the AT winning probability is 5%. This is the moment you expect.

  The plum role has a strong plum (see FIG. 94A) as the second strong role, and a weak plum (see FIG. 94B) as the second weak role. In the case of a strong plum, the plum symbol stops at the upper stage of the left drum 2a, the upper stage of the middle drum 2b, and the upper stage of the right drum 2c, and the bonus winning probability is 30% and the AT winning probability is 50%. In the case of a weak plum, the plum symbol stops at the upper stage of the left drum 2a, the middle stage of the middle drum 2b, and the lower stage of the right drum 2c, and the bonus winning probability is 2% and the AT winning probability is 4%. It is a moment to expect.

  As for the bell role, there is a strong bell (see FIG. 94C) as the third strong role, while there is a weak bell (not shown) as a push order small role as the third weak role. Align in a straight line. In the case of a strong plum, the bell symbol stops at the middle stage of the left drum 2a, the middle stage of the middle drum 2b, and the middle stage of the right drum 2c, and the bonus winning probability is 15% and the AT winning probability is 30%. In the case of a weak bell, the bonus and AT winning probability is about 0% to 0.1%, so the player hardly expects. Although the cherry as the first role, the plum as the second role, and the bell as the third role are exemplified, the first role may be a plum or a bell regardless of the claims.

  FIG. 95 is a timing chart showing the light emission state of the top lamp in time series.

  The sub-control unit 160 puts the top lamp 13a into a light-off state or a light emission state in a neutral color from the end of the game to the start of the next game. This neutral color is generally white, but any color that does not cause confusion to the player other than the unique colors that indicate small roles or replays (red for cherry, purple for plums, yellow for bells, blue for replays) Good (see FIG. 95A).

  When the game is started, the sub-control unit 160 receives a lottery result (for example, replay internal winning) from the main control unit 100, and performs effect control of the display effect device 11 and the game state display LED unit 13. When the player stops the drum section (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b and right drum 2c) by operating the stop button section 10, the top lamp 13a is blue (a unique color corresponding to the internal winning combination or winning combination) ) To turn on or blink, and then set to a neutral state (light-off state or light emission state in neutral color).

  When the next game is started in the state shown in FIG. 95 (A), the sub-control unit 160 receives a lottery result (for example, a center cherry internal winning of a powerful player) and displays the display effect device 11 and The game state display LED unit 13 is heated and the player stops the drum unit 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c) by operating the stop button unit 10 (particularly the left stop button 10a). If the top lamp 13a is turned on or blinking in red (a unique color corresponding to the internal winning combination or winning combination), and then 32 games are consumed (a predetermined number of variable display games are executed), During the interval, the top lamp 13a is continuously lit or blinking in red. This makes it possible to continuously give the player a sense of expectation (see FIG. 95B).

  When the next game is started in the state shown in FIG. 95 (B), the sub-control unit 160 receives a lottery result (for example, a strong-plum strong winner) from the main control unit 100. The game state display LED unit 13 is heated and the player stops the drum unit 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c) by operating the stop button unit 10 (particularly the left stop button 10a). In this case, the top lamp 13a is lit or blinked in purple, and the top lamp 13a is lit or blinked in purple during the interval until the 32 games are consumed (see FIG. 95C).

On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 160 receives a lottery result (for example, a weak internal winning plum prize) from the main control unit 100 when the next game is started in the state of FIG. 1
1 and the game state display LED unit 13 are provided with a rare small role effect, and the player operates the stop button unit 10 (particularly, the left stop button 10a), thereby the drum unit (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c). When the game is stopped, the top lamp 13a is turned on or blinking in purple, and the difference game between the 32 games and the number of variable display games executed after the center cherry is consumed (the remaining number of the variable display games executed is executed). In the interval period, the top lamp 13a continues to be lit or blinking in red (see FIG. 95C). If the strong cherry is won again in the state where the top lamp 13a is lit in red, the number of digested games is reset, and the countdown of 32 games is started again from that point.

  The sub-control unit 160 flashes the top lamp 13a in red during the interval period for 32 games after the center cherry or strong cherry, and flashes in purple for 32 games after the strong plum. It suggests a high probability state of lottery, or a precursor state of bonus or ART.

  As another example, the sub-control unit 160 does not change the light emission state when the winning probability is high in the order of center cherry> strong plum> strong bell. For example, when the top lamp 13a is lit or blinking in red during the interval period after the center cherry, even if a strong plum is won internally, it continues to emit light in red or alternately in red and purple. Then, when light is emitted in red for 32 games, light is emitted only in purple for the remaining number of games.

  FIG. 96 is a principal block diagram of the display effect device and the control circuit system.

  When the big bonus is ended in step S564 in FIG. 84, the sub-control unit 160 starts the target game, and determines the internal state (low probability, normal probability, high probability, ultra-high probability) determined in advance by a lottery during the bonus game. Etc.), display data and deviation number lottery probability data are transmitted to the display control unit 11a. The display data is numerical data of 1 to 5 corresponding to the positions where the balls (moving elements) indicated by the black circles in the figure can stop (No. 0 to No. 15 pockets). A numerical value 5 is entered in the position of the number (in order of clockwise, number 1 is numbered 1, number 2 is number 4, number 3 is number 2, and the same four values are cyclically repeated up to number 15).

  The deviation number lottery probability data is a probability value for determining the number of deviations from 0 to 3 by lottery. For example, the deviation number 0 is 10%, the deviation number 1 is 20%, the deviation number 2 is 30%, the deviation number 3 is probability data of 40%. In addition, when the target game has a very high probability, the sub-control unit 160 sets all the numerical data to 10 and displays all 10 sets winning confirmation, or sets 0 to 7 to 7 and 8 to 15 Set the number to 3, so that either 7 or 3 sets will win. On the other hand, if the target game has a low probability, only the number 0 is set to 10 or 5, and all others are set to 0 or 1, making it difficult to win. Although the number of deviations is set to four of 0 to 3, it is not limited to this value, and 0 to 14 may be determined by lottery each time, and the deviation number lottery probability data may be transmitted ( The deviation number lottery probability data is the number of deviations and the lottery probability value).

  When the display control unit 11a receives the display data and the deviation number lottery probability data from the sub-control unit 160, the display control unit 11a reads the image data from the CG-ROM 11c, and displays the target game selection screen on the display screen 11b of the display effect device 11. The number of deviations is determined in advance by lottery. This selection screen displays “START: YES” (hatched portion). On the other hand, when NO is selected by operating the left and right keys (not shown) and the special button 14 is operated, the target game is canceled and the average expected value (AV: average) is 3. In this target game, the ball indicated by a black circle rotates clockwise (in the direction of the arrow) and gradually increases from a low speed to reach a constant speed, or when the predetermined time elapses, the special button 14 can be operated again.

  97 and 98 are schematic diagrams of a roulette screen displayed by the display effect device.

  When the player operates the special button 14 from the state shown in FIG. 96 and receives an input signal from the special button sensor 112, the sub-control unit 160 transmits a start command to the display control unit 11a.

  When receiving the start command, the display control unit 11a moves the ball as a mover from the state of FIG. 97A to the right pocket by one (see FIG. 97B). Drawing similar to this one frame is continued a plurality of times (see FIGS. 97C to 97D). Then, as shown in FIGS. 97 (E) to 97 (F), when the right two frames are drawn at the same time, the movement speed of the ball is doubled and the movement is medium speed.

  Then, if the right three frames are drawn simultaneously from the state of FIG. 98 (A) where two frames are drawn (see FIG. 98 (B)), the ball can be moved at a high speed three times the initial speed. Thereafter, when the movement of the ball reaches a constant speed (or when a predetermined time has elapsed), the sub-control unit 160 can accept the operation of the special button 14 (see FIGS. 98C to 98F). ) “Press special button” is displayed at the top of the display screen 11b.

  FIG. 99 is a schematic diagram of a roulette screen displayed by the display effect device.

  When the player operates the special button 14 in the state shown in FIG. 99A and receives an input signal from the special button sensor 112, the sub control unit 160 transmits a stop command to the display control unit 11a. The display control unit 11a continues drawing until the stop command is received from the sub control unit 160. For example, the display control unit 11a continuously moves the ball for two screens (FIGS. 99B to 99C). reference).

  Even if the display control unit 11a receives the stop command from the sub-control unit 160, the display control unit 11a has already performed the next drawing process. Therefore, the display control unit 11a moves and displays three balls for one screen. The position is determined to be the leading ball position (position of numeral 2) (see FIG. 99D). The reason for making this determination is to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable because the ball appears to be backed by an afterimage if the stop possible position is a non-leading position (position of numeral 4 or 1). is there.

  The display control unit 11a stops the ball in the next drawing. When the determined number of deviations is 0, the ball stops biting at the position of the number 2 (see FIG. 99E), while the number of deviations. When is 3, the ball slides to the position of numeral 4 and stops (see FIG. 99 (F)). Of course, when the number of deviations is 1, it stops at the position of numeral 5, and when the number of deviations is 2, it stops at the position of number 1. As a result, the player can not only aim and win the bonus or ART directly, but also determine the number of deviations inside the gaming machine, so that it cannot be completely aimed.

  In the case of FIG. 99 (E), the display control unit 11a sub-controls “2” of the numerical data (game value data) corresponding to the stop position of the ball, and “4” in the case of FIG. 99 (F). To the unit 160.

  The display control unit 11a makes a determination based on the received numerical data, and when there is an ART stock (step S566 in FIG. 84), the process proceeds to step S540 and starts ART, whereas when there is no ART stock (step S568), The mode selected in step S552 is set, and the process proceeds to (1) for starting the game.

  FIG. 132 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure up to the start of ART. The difference from FIG. 84 is that only step S545 and step S547 are added.

  When the ART is started in step S540, the sub-control unit 160, when a specific opportunity is won internally by the random number lottery of the main control unit 100 in step S542, adds an ART lottery (number of games and additional navigation stock) in step S544. I do.

  Next, the sub-control unit 160 checks whether or not the special upper condition is satisfied in step S545. For example, if the ART lottery in step S560 is won, the ART lottery in the BB in step S562 is won, or the bell is won three times in the predetermined game during the ART in step S540. It is established by accomplishing a mission such as gaining points (for example, getting 100 points) or defeating an enemy boss character.

  FIG. 133 is a flowchart (see FIG. 133 (B)) illustrating a special addition screen (see FIG. 133 (A)) and a special addition lottery processing procedure. FIG. 134 is a schematic diagram of a special extra screen.

  The sub-control unit 160 calls this subroutine when the special addition condition is established in step S545 and the special addition lottery process in step S547 is executed in the next game. When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S600, the sub-control unit 160 selects one character to be used for the current special addition lottery by lottery from a plurality of characters shown in FIG. 133 (A). In this case, the leftmost character A is selected from the six characters. A guaranteed game number lottery table is provided for each character. In addition, in the guaranteed game number lottery table, the expected value rises and falls according to the step set value. For example, six guaranteed game number lottery tables are provided corresponding to character A. If the stage setting value is 6, the expected value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 16 times, and the stage setting value is 5, Expected value for the game number lottery is 14 times, if the stage setting value is 4, if the expected value for the guaranteed game number lottery is 12, and if the stage setting value is 3, the expected value for the guaranteed game number lottery is 9 times, When the value is 2, the expected value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 7 times, and when the step setting value is 1, the numerical value is predetermined in the design stage so that the expected value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 5 times. Then, the sub-control unit 160 automatically determines the number of guaranteed games by lottery using these guaranteed game number lottery tables in step S610, and proceeds to step S620. The guaranteed number of games is the number of times that the special button 14 (press switch) is guaranteed to be pressed in a special extra game (continuous hit game). That is, until the number of guaranteed games reaches 0 or reaches the number of guaranteed games (for example, when the number of guaranteed games is 5 games, the number of guaranteed games becomes 0 or the number of guaranteed games reaches 5). The pressing operation can be performed without falling. Then, since the falling lottery is executed by the next pressing operation when the guaranteed game number becomes 0 game, as a result, the pressing operation can be performed only once by the guaranteed game number.

  Sub-control part 160 will perform an addition loop rate lottery, if it shifts to Step S620. The extra loop rate is the probability of winning the extra lottery, and for example, assuming 90%, it is won with a probability of 90% and loses with a probability of 10%. There are two types of extra loop rate lottery tables. One is selected when a rare combination is won, and the other is selected other than the rare combination. As a matter of course, the expected value of the extra loop rate lottery table selected when the rare combination is won is about 2 to 3 times higher than the table other than the rare combination. Further, the expected value rises and falls according to the step set value.

  Steps S600 to S620 will be specifically described. When the start lever 9 of the game for performing the special extra lottery is operated, the sub-control unit 160 automatically executes the character selection in step S600, the guaranteed game number lottery in step S610, and the extra loop rate lottery in step S620. Is determined (processing above the broken line in the figure).

  The sub-control unit 160 selects the guaranteed game number lottery table corresponding to the selected character (character determined by automatic lottery or defeated enemy character) and the step set value, and automatically determines the guaranteed game number by lottery ( Step S610). The sub-control unit 160 selects the additional loop rate lottery table according to the internal winning combination and the step set value notified from the main control unit 100, and automatically determines the additional loop rate by lottery (step S620). For example, the extra loop rate lottery table selected when the rare “middle stage cherry” is won is divided into six stages: the extra loop rate is 80%, 83%, 86%, 89%, 92% and 95%. The distribution probabilities are 50%, 30%, 10%, 6%, 3% and 1% in order. In other words, when “middle stage cherry” is won, the probability that the additional loop rate is 80% means 50%. On the other hand, the extra loop rate lottery table selected when a non-rare small role (or loser) such as a replay or bell role is won has an extra loop rate of 60%, 63%, 66%, 69%, 62%. And 65%, the distribution probabilities are 40%, 25%, 15%, 10%, 6% and 4% in order. And according to the stage setting values 1 to 6, the expected value of the additional loop rate is determined in advance in order. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the number of guaranteed games is nine and the extra loop rate is 90%.

When the sub-control unit 160 receives a notification from the main control unit 100 that the game is over (such as a notification that the drum unit is all stopped or a bet button is enabled), the sub-control unit 160 can operate the special button 14. The display effect device 11 displays “special button hit” or “special button continuous hit”. When the special button 14 is pressed in step S630, the sub-control unit 160 draws using the added game number lottery table selected according to the step set value, and displays the number of added games won in step S640. Finally, the total number of added games is added to the number of remaining ART games. This extra game number lottery table has no losing (that is, there is no winning of 0 times) and is assigned at least 1 to 300 times, but the probability of winning once is 90%, other times Is determined such that the larger the value, the lower the winning rate (the probability of winning 300 times is about 0.01%). In addition, not only the number of added games but also the number of added sets may be drawn (for example, in the case of one set of 100 games, adding one set means winning one ART bonus).

  The sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the number of guaranteed games is 0 in step S650. If YES, the process proceeds to step S660, and if NO, the process proceeds to step S680. In this case, since the number of guaranteed games is nine, the process proceeds to step S680, where 1 is subtracted from the number of guaranteed games and the remaining is eight. As a result, the special button 14 can be hit at least several times in the guaranteed game. FIG. 134 (A) shows that the special button 14 is repeatedly hit nine times, and the number of added games is 1 for the first time, 1 for the second time, 50 for the third time, 1 for the 4th time, 1 for the 5th time, and 5 for the first time. , 1 in the 7th, 3 in the 8th, 1 in the 9th, and a total of 64 times.

  When the number of guaranteed games becomes zero in step S650 and the process proceeds to step S660, the sub-control unit 160 performs an additional continuation number lottery according to the determined additional loop rate (in this case, the winning rate is 90%). For example, using an 8-bit counter that fluctuates in the range of 0-255, if the count value is extracted at the timing when the special button 14 is pressed and hits the range of 0-229, the winning rate will be about 90% If you win, set the extra continuation number to 1. Thus, the special button 14 can be continuously pressed until the extra lottery is lost, and the number of AT extra games (AT extra set number or ART bonus winning) can be acquired by oneself. Further, when the extra continuation lottery is won, the continuation extra number may be drawn in the range of 1 to 9 times. For example, if 9 hits, it can return to the initial state. In addition, the continuation of the extra continuation lottery means that the number of continuations of the extra continuation is 0 game, and the winning means that the continuation of the extra continuation is 1 game or 1 game or more.

  FIG. 134 (B) wins the continuous lottery by adding only 3 times after FIG. 134 (A), winning 10 for the first time, 100 for the second time, and 20 for the third time, for a total of 194 additional games. Indicates that it has been acquired. Then, when the special button 14 is pressed for the fourth time, the game is lost, and 0 is set. In step S670, the result is YES. When the maximum bet button 8 is operated during the special extra lottery, or when a predetermined number of medals are inserted (or the max bet button 8 is operated) and the start lever 9 is effectively received, the sub-control unit 160 Finishes the special extra lottery, selects the cancellation lottery table based on the number of remaining games and the loop rate at that time, and determines the number of extra games by automatic lottery. Note that the table is set so that the expected value when the special extra lottery is canceled is smaller than when the lottery is continued. Specifically, assuming that the remaining number of games is 2, the loop rate is 90%, and the consecutive hit game expected value is 2 games / time, and the expected cancellation value is 1.8 games / time, the number of additional games in the case of cancellation is 22 times ( 2 × 2 + 10 × 1.8). In addition, as usual, based on the expected cancellation value (average 20 game winning), an extra game number lottery using a random number may be simply performed to win about 10 to 300 games.

  As another embodiment, the sub-control unit 160 executes a pseudo-continuous hit game when the player receives a special addition lottery stop instruction by operating the max bet button 8 or the start lever 9. In this pseudo-sequential game, the generated random numbers are extracted at a predetermined timing, not the pressing timing of the special button 14, and the above-described continuous lottery and the number-of-games lottery for the number of AT games to be added are automatically executed. . Thereby, the player can play a continuous hitting game without repeatedly pressing the special button 14. In addition, it is better to set the predetermined timing to a random interval by using an extracted random number instead of a fixed interval.

  In addition, if the continuous lottery that is automatically executed continues to be won, it may continue to be won indefinitely, so the sub-control unit 160 adds the AT when the number of wins reaches the upper limit number (for example, 10,000 times). End the game lottery. Then, the sub-control unit 160 executes the additional AT game number lottery in advance from the start of the variable display game until the continuous hitting game becomes effective (about 2 to 5 seconds), and calculates the additional AT game number. Remember. This is advantageous because it can give an extra effect at the same time as receiving an instruction to cancel the special extra lottery.

  The sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the ART termination condition (for example, the number of remaining ART games is 0) is satisfied in step S546 in FIG. 132. If not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S542. In step S548, the normal mode or the high accuracy mode is determined by lottery, and the process proceeds to step S500 or step S510.

  In summary, when three medals are inserted and the start lever 9 is operated, the main control unit 100 has the drum unit 2 (three left drums 2a, middle drum 2b, right drum 2c) on which a plurality of symbols are drawn. ) Is rotated from top to bottom to start the variable display game. In general, after the start lever 9 is operated and before the drum unit 2 starts to rotate, the main control unit 100 extracts a random number at a timing according to the start operation, and draws a combination lottery (bonus combination, push order combination) , Lottery, etc.). In the main control unit 100, the push order is elected internally, and the stop button unit 10 provided corresponding to the drum unit 2 is operated in the operation order defined by the push order (small role or replay role). Then, the pushing order symbol is stopped on the winning line to win.

The sub-control unit 160 displays on the display effect device 11 the operation order of the stop switch for winning the push order, and notifies the sound from the speaker unit 12 (left, middle, right). If the sub-control unit 160 satisfies the start condition of the special extra game (continuous hit game), the sub-control unit 160 validates the operation of the special button 14 (press switch) and determines whether or not to continue the special extra game based on the operated timing. The lottery is drawn every time the button is pressed. Also, a game number lottery for the number of AT games to be added is executed. When the max bet button 8 is operated, the number of additional games is determined based on the loop rate and the expected cancellation value. When the special addition game is finished, the sub-control unit 160 displays the total number of AT games obtained by the game number lottery on the display effect device 11, and when returning to the ART game, the special addition is added to the number of remaining AT games. The total number of AT games obtained by adding the total number of AT games acquired in the game is set as the new number of AT games. Then, when the push order small combination is won for the number of new AT games, the operation order of the stop button unit 10 is notified.

  135 to 136 are schematic diagrams of special addition screens.

  The contents described above will be further described in detail. The sub-control unit 160 displays the number of remaining games and the number of acquired games at the lower left of the screen at the start of the ART in step S540, and when the special addition condition is satisfied, “WIN special time” is displayed and the special addition lottery is selected. A character to be used is selected (see FIG. 135A). In this state, when a predetermined number of three medals are inserted by operating the max bet button 8 and the start lever 9 is operated effectively, 1 is subtracted from the remaining number of games to 24, and 3 is subtracted from the acquired number. 350 (see the lower left of FIG. 135 (B)). Then, according to the operation timing of the start lever 9, a lottery drawing is performed, and a variable display game for rotating the reel drum is started. When the winning combination is won internally by the role lottery, the operation order of the stop switch for winning the winning combination is displayed on the display screen, but is omitted in the figure. Since the loop rate is determined based on the result lottery result, the operation of the start lever 9 is a moment when the player is full of power. It is assumed that a strong bell role (a push-in any order bell role) that pays out 15 sheets is won internally. That is, the sub-control unit 160 determines the extra loop rate based on the winning lottery result in the latest variable display game in which the special extra lottery (continuous hit game) is performed.

  When the sub-control unit 160 receives a command indicating that the game has ended and a payout number command from the main control unit 100 when all reels are stopped by operating the stop switch, the sub-control unit 160 changes the acquired number to 365 and displays a special button. 14 can be operated, and “display a special button” or “special button continuous hit” is displayed on the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 135C). After that, as explained in FIG. 134 (A), the special button 14 is hit 9 times repeatedly, and the number of added games is 1st, 1st 2nd, 50th 3rd, 1st, 5th 1 to 6, 5th to 7th, 1st to 8th, 3rd to 9th and 1st to 9th, and a total of 64 times. FIG. 135C shows a state where the next pressing operation (the tenth pressing operation) is not performed, and the operation of the special button 14 (pressing switch) is valid.

  When the max bet button 8 (insertion switch or insertion means) is operated in the state shown in FIG. 135C, the sub-control unit 160 determines the final added game number and ends the special added game (continuous hit game) ( FIG. 136 (A)). At this time, the sub-control unit 160 temporarily displays the determined final added game number “+86 games” on the display screen of the display effect device 11, and adds up the total added game number 64 games and 86 games to the total added game number “+150”. Is once displayed on the display screen of the display effect device 11, and 174 is displayed as a new number of remaining AT games (total number of remaining AT games) obtained by adding the total number of games 150 to the remaining number of 24 AT games (total number of remaining AT games) ( (See FIG. 136 (B)). On the other hand, in the state of FIG. 135 (C), when the winning combination is replay, the medal is automatically inserted, so that the normal operation of the max bet button 8 cannot be performed, but the non-regular operation of the max bet button 8 is performed by the main control unit. When 100 is detected and a detection signal is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160, the sub-control unit 160 accepts that the max bet button 8 has been operated, determines the number of final added games, and ends the special added game (repeated game). (See FIG. 136 (A)). In this case, when the start lever 9 is operated without accepting the irregular operation of the max bet button 8, the final added game number may be determined and the special added game may be ended.

When the start lever 9 is operated in the state of FIG. 136 (B), the main control unit 100 starts the variable display game by rotating the drum unit 2 on which a plurality of symbols are drawn from top to bottom. The control unit 160 displays a navigation screen, and displays (speaks) the operation order according to the internal winning selection in the order of “numbers in a circle” on the display screen and in the order of middle right and left from the speaker. Announce by.

Additional Example 1:
FIG. 160 is a flowchart (see FIG. 160 (B)) showing the special addition screen (see FIG. 160 (A)) and the special addition lottery processing procedure.

  In step S545 of FIG. 132, the sub-control unit 160 establishes a special addition condition by fulfilling a mission during AT (during assist time) or during ART (during assist replay time), and in the next game, the special control in step S547 is performed. This subroutine is called when executing the top lottery process. When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S1000, the sub-control unit 160 selects one character to be used for the special extra lottery in this order from a plurality of characters shown in FIG. 160 (A). In the figure, although characters 1 to 6 are shown, the number N of characters is an arbitrary number (for example, 20 people), and the character 1 is first selected. Next, character 2, character 3,... Are selected in this order. As described above, the character used for the special extra lottery may be selected by lottery. In this case, the leftmost character 1 is selected.

  A guaranteed game number lottery table is provided for each character, and the guaranteed game number lottery table has an expected value that rises and falls according to the step set value. For example, the character 1 is provided with six guaranteed game number lottery tables corresponding to the stage setting values. When the stage setting value is 6, the maximum value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 20 times and the minimum value is 8 times. If the expected value is about 12 times and the step set value is 5, the maximum number of guaranteed game lottery is 18 times to the minimum value is 7 times, the expected value is about 10 times, and the step set value is 4, the guaranteed game If the maximum value of the number lottery is 16 times-the minimum value is 6 times, the expected value is about 8 times, and the step set value is 3, the maximum value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 14 times-the minimum value is 5 times, and the expected value is When the step setting value is 2, the maximum value of the guaranteed game number lottery is 12 times-the minimum value is 4 times, the expected value is about 6 times, and when the step setting value is 1, the maximum number of guaranteed game number lottery The numerical value is predetermined in the design stage so that the value is 10 times to the minimum value is 3 times and the expected value is about 5 times. In the example of the guaranteed game number lottery table with the stage setting value of 6, the winning probability of 20 guaranteed games is 5%, the winning probability of 18 times is 10%, the winning probability of 16 times is 10%, and 14 times. The winning probability is 10%, the 12th winning probability is 10%, the 10th winning probability is 30%, the 8th winning probability is 25%, and the expected value is exactly 12 times in advance. Has been. Since the design method is the same for the stage setting values 1 to 5, the description is omitted. Note that the number of guaranteed games is expected according to the stay mode (super heaven mode, heaven mode, high probability mode, normal A mode, normal B mode, low probability mode, hell mode, super hell mode) even if the stage setting value is the same. The value may increase or decrease (in this case, the expected value decreases in order).

  Then, in step S1010, the sub-control unit 160 automatically determines the number of guaranteed games by lottery using these guaranteed game number lottery tables, and proceeds to step S1015. The guaranteed number of games is the number of times that the special button 14 (press switch) is guaranteed to be pressed in a special extra game (continuous hit game). That is, until the number of guaranteed games reaches 0 or reaches the number of guaranteed games (for example, when the number of guaranteed games is 10 games, the number of guaranteed games is 0 or the number of guaranteed games reaches 10 games). , A pressing operation can be performed. The special button 14 that outputs a signal to the sub-control unit 160 is taken as an example of a push switch (operation switch or operation means), but the max bet button 8 or the start lever 9 may be used. For example, if a predetermined number of medals are inserted by normal operation of the max bet button 8, the normal operation becomes ineffective. If the max bet button 8 is operated in this state, a signal can be output to the main control unit 100. . Then, the main control unit 100 transmits information (command) indicating that the max bet button 8 has been operated to the sub control unit 160, so that the sub control unit 160 depresses (or operates) the max bet button 8. You can know instantly. Similarly, the main control unit 100 normally rotates the drum unit 2 by the normal operation of the start lever 9, but the normal operation does not work. When the start lever 9 is operated in this state, a signal is output to the main control unit 100. As a result, the sub-control unit 160 can instantly know that the start lever 9 has been pressed (operated). Note that the main control unit 100 does not normally rotate the drum unit 2 by freezing the start lever 9 by normal operation. When the special addition lottery is completed, the freezing state is canceled and the drum unit 2 can be normally rotated. Is possible.

  FIG. 161 is a schematic diagram of an extra game number lottery table.

  When the sub control unit 160 proceeds to step S1015, the sub control unit 160 selects the extra game number lottery table. A plurality of the extra game number lottery tables are provided according to each character (1 to N) and the step set value, and the number of winning games per lottery performed each time the push switch (operation switch) is operated. The expected value is going up and down. For example, as shown in FIG. 161 (A), the character 1 is provided with six additional game number lottery tables corresponding to the stage setting values. When the stage setting value is 6, the maximum number of additional games is set. 20 games to the minimum value (losing) is 0 games, and the expected value is about 5 games. When the step set value is 1, the maximum value and the minimum value of the number of added games are the same, and the expected value is about 4 games. When the stage setting value is 2 to 5, the expected value is designed to be an intermediate value of 4.2 game to 4.8 game in order. As can be seen from the figure, the loss area of the game with no addition is relatively small, but the expected value is low. In other words, it means that it is easy to win an extra lottery performed every time the push switch is operated, but it means that the number of extra games per win is small.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 161 (B), the character N (N is an arbitrary natural number greater than or equal to 2) is provided with six additional game number lottery tables corresponding to the step set values, and the step set values are In the case of 6, the maximum number of additional games is 100 games to the minimum value (lost) is 0 games, and the expected value is about 12 games. When the step set value is 1, the maximum value and the minimum value of the number of added games are the same, and the expected value is about 10 games. When the stage setting value is 2 to 5, the expected value is designed to be an intermediate value of 10.4 games to 11.6 games in order. As can be seen from the figure, the loss area of the game with no addition is larger than that of the character 1, but the expected value is high. In other words, it means that it is difficult to win the extra lottery performed every time the push switch is operated, but it means that the number of extra games per winning is large. Since the extra winning probability and expected value for each character are determined by such a design method, it is possible to have individuality for each character. In addition, even if the stage setting value is the same, according to the stay mode (super heaven mode, heaven mode, high probability mode, normal A mode, normal B mode, low probability mode, hell mode, super hell mode), an extra game number lottery table The expected value may be increased or decreased (in this case, the expected value decreases in order).

  When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S1020, the sub-control unit 160 performs a lottery of the extra loop rate. The extra loop rate is the probability of winning the extra lottery lottery. For example, assuming 90%, you can win with a probability of 90% and operate the push switch again. To do. A plurality of additional loop rate lottery tables are provided corresponding to the winning combination. When the start lever 9 is operated in a game in which a special extra lottery is performed, a combination lottery is performed. In this case, the push switch can be operated about 100 times. Also, in the case of a loss in ART (unfair election, the probability is 1/6500 or less), the additional loop rate of 99% is fixed. If the winning role is a rare role (middle cherries, strong chance eyes, strong cherries, strong watermelons, strong bells, weak chance eyes, weak cherries, weak watermelons, special replays, etc.), a relatively high additional loop rate will be determined by lottery The For example, in the case of the middle stage cherry, the additional loop rate is 95% (50%), 96% (30%), 97% (10%), 98% (0.7%), 99% (0.3%) The lottery table allocated so that In the case of a push order small combination or a normal replay combination, the additional loop rate is determined by lottery within the range of the additional loop rate of 80% to 95%. If the additional loop rate is 80%, it will fall if the push switch is operated about 5 times. The expected value of the additional loop rate is determined in advance so as to increase in order according to the step set values 1 to 6. Even if the step set value is the same, the upper loop rate increases or decreases depending on the stay mode (super heaven mode, heaven mode, high probability mode, normal A mode, normal B mode, low probability mode, hell mode, super hell mode) (In this case, the expected value decreases in order). Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the number of guaranteed games is 10 times and the additional loop rate is 90%.

  FIG. 162 is a schematic diagram of a special addition screen.

  When the sub-control unit 160 receives a notification from the main control unit 100 that the game has ended (such as a notification that the drum unit is all stopped or a notification that the bet button is properly operated), the sub-control unit 160 In step S1025, 1 is subtracted from the number of guaranteed games determined in the lottery in step S1010 (the number of guaranteed games is 9 at this time), and the special button 14 is pressed for special extra lottery. The operation can be performed, and “hit a special button” or “special button continuous hit” is displayed on the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 162A).

  When the special button 14 is pressed in step S1030, the sub-control unit 160 draws using the added game number lottery table selected according to the stage setting value and the characters (characters 1 to N), and in step S1035. The number of added games won is displayed. This extra game number lottery table has a loss as described above (that is, wins 0 times), but there may be no loss. In addition, not only the number of added games but also the number of added sets may be drawn (for example, in the case of one set of 100 games, adding one set means winning one ART bonus). The number of additional games and the number of additional sets may be combined and interpreted as an additional number of claims.

  The sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the number of guaranteed games is 0 in step S1040. If YES, the process proceeds to step S1045, and if NO, the process proceeds to step S1025. In this case, since the number of guaranteed games is nine, the process proceeds to step S1025, where 1 is subtracted from the number of guaranteed games and the remaining is eight. This makes it possible to hit the special button 14 at least several times (10 times) in the guaranteed game. FIG. 162 (A) shows a state in which the special button 14 is continuously hit nine times, and the number of added games is 0 for the first time, 0 for the second time, 5 for the third time, 1 for the fourth time, 0, for the sixth time. This shows that 1 was won in the 2nd, 7th, 3 in the 8th, 10 in the 9th, and 23 times in total. A gauge (or level meter) is displayed at the bottom of the figure, and the gauge progresses from left to right up to about 20% filled with black. When this gauge is filled to 100%, it is “defeated” and the mission is achieved (the clear condition described later is achieved).

  FIG. 162 (B) shows a state in which the special button 14 is further hit six times. The number of added games is 0 at the 10th time, 5 at the 11th time, 1 at the 12th time, 10 at the 13th time, 50, 15 at the 14th time. This shows that 20th time was won and 109 times were won. When the tenth consecutive hit, the guaranteed number of games is 0, and YES is determined in the step S1040. Therefore, the process proceeds to a step S1045, and the additional continuation number lottery is performed using the above-described additional loop rate of 90%. For example, using a counter that varies in the range of 0 to 999, the count value (random number) is extracted when the special button 14 is pressed, and if the range of 0 to 899 is hit, the winning rate is 90%. If you win, set the extra continuation number to 1. As a result, the special button 14 is continuously pressed until the player loses the additional lottery, and the number of additional games (the number of additional sets, pseudo bonus, assist bonus, or third bonus selection) for activating the assist function is determined by himself. Can be earned. That is, based on the timing at which the special button 14 (operation means) is operated, the number-of-games lottery and the continuous lottery are executed almost simultaneously for each operation. Further, when the extra continuation lottery is won, the continuation extra number may be drawn in the range of 1 to 10 times. For example, after 10 hits, it is possible to return to the initial state. It should be noted that the continuation of the additional continuation lottery is a game where the number of continuations of the addition is 0, and the winning means that the number of continuations of the addition is 1 game or 1 game or more.

  When the process proceeds to step S1045, the sub-control unit 160 performs an additional continuation number lottery according to the determined additional loop rate of 90%. FIG. 162 (B) shows that 1 has been won five times in succession (the process proceeds to step S1050, and the number of continued continuations is 1, so the process proceeds to step S1025). When the gauge at the bottom of the figure is filled to 100%, Hanamaru's “Destroy” is displayed and the mission is completed. In this case, it is assumed that the mission clear condition (achievement condition) is 100 extra games acquired in the special extra game, and when the 50th is obtained for the 14th time, the extra game number is 89, so the clear condition ( (Predetermined condition) has not been achieved, but since it has reached 100 times at the time of acquiring 20 in the 15th time, the mission is cleared.

  FIG. 162 (C) shows a state in which the special button 14 is further hit four times. The number of added games is 0 for the 16th time, 2 for the 17th time, 1 for the 18th time, and 3 for the 19th time. Indicates that it has been acquired twice. If the guaranteed number of games becomes 0 at the 19th consecutive hit and the process proceeds to step S1045, and if the number of continued continuations is lost, the process proceeds to step S1050, and the number of continued continuations is 0, so the process proceeds to step S1055.

  When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S1055, the sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not the clear condition has been achieved. If not, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S1080 and adds the total number of added games to the remaining AT number (in a consecutive hit game). The acquired total number of additions is added to the remaining number of assists), and the special addition game by the character 1 is terminated. On the other hand, if the clear condition is achieved, the process proceeds to step S1060. In this case, since the clear condition has been achieved, the character 1 is defeated. When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S1060, the operation of the special button 14 is temporarily invalidated, the additional game number lottery table 2 described later is selected, and after the extra large special button image is displayed for about 3 seconds, “hit” is displayed. indicate.

  FIG. 163 is a schematic diagram of the extra game number lottery table 2.

  The added game number lottery table 2 is provided in a plurality according to each character (1 to N) and the step set value, and is used at the defeat time performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In accordance with the selected added game number lottery table 2, the expected value of the number of winning games per lottery performed when the push switch is operated at the defeat time is increased or decreased. For example, as shown in FIG. 163 (A), the character 1 is provided with six additional game number lottery tables corresponding to the stage setting values. When the stage setting value is 6, the maximum number of additional games is set. Is 200 games to a minimum value of 20 games, and an expected value is about 50 games. When the step set value is 1, the maximum value and the minimum value of the number of added games are the same, and the expected value is about 40 games. When the stage setting value is 2 to 5, the expected value is designed to be an intermediate value of 42 games to 48 games in order. As can be seen from the figure, there is no losing area with no additional games, and the number of additional games by lottery is relatively small.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 163 (B), the character N (N is an arbitrary natural number equal to or greater than 2) is provided with six additional game number lottery tables 2 corresponding to the step set values. Is 6, the maximum number of additional games is 500 games to 50 minimum values, and the expected value is about 90 games. When the step set value is 1, the maximum value and the minimum value of the number of added games are the same, and the expected value is about 70 games. When the stage setting value is 2 to 5, the expected value is designed to be an intermediate value of 74 games to 86 games in order. As can be seen from the figure, there is no losing area with no additional games, and the number of additional games by lottery is relatively large. Since the expected addition value for each character is determined by such a design method, it is possible to give individuality to each character. In addition, even if the stage setting value is the same, according to the stay mode (super heaven mode, heaven mode, high probability mode, normal A mode, normal B mode, low probability mode, hell mode, super hell mode), an extra game number lottery table The expected value of 2 may be increased or decreased (in this case, the expected value decreases in order).

  FIG. 164 is a schematic diagram of the special addition screen.

  If the special button is hit with the extra large special button image shown in FIG. 162 (C) being displayed, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S1065 and executes the lottery using the selected extra game number lottery table 2. Then, the number of added games won is displayed. In this case, it is displayed that 100 games have been won (see FIG. 164 (A)). The sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S1070, displays the total number of extra games 215 won in the extra lottery (continuous hitting game and defeat time) by the character 1, and proceeds to step S1000. In step S1000, the sub control unit 160 selects the character 2 and repeats the same process.

  The sub-control unit 160 performs the process of determining whether or not the clear condition has been achieved in step S1055, but it may be performed either before or after the additional number-of-continuations lottery process in step S1045. In that case, even if the extra continuation lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S1060, step S1065, and step S1000 when the clear condition is achieved. In other words, it is desirable that the game be forced to the middle stage even though the continuous hitting game is still continued, which is disadvantageous for the player, as shown in FIG.

  In the above-described embodiment, the mission clear condition (predetermined condition) for defeating the character is when the added game number reaches or exceeds the predetermined number (100 games), but may be as follows. (1) When the number of times of winning the extra lottery reaches a predetermined number (for example, 20 times), (2) When the number of times of pressing reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 times), (3) For the mission / clear lottery When winning, (4) When the time limit set for each character is reached, etc. can be considered.

  Assuming that the number of added games reaches a predetermined number (100 games), this example satisfies the clear condition (predetermined condition). In the same example, the number of times the winning lottery is won is a predetermined number (20 times) ) Or “When the number of times the button has been pressed reaches a predetermined number (for example, 30 times)”, the clear condition (predetermined condition) has not been achieved, so the time for defeat (the extra lottery) will not be entered. It will be.

  The mission / clear lottery is a lottery executed for each operation based on the timing at which the special button 14 (operation means) is operated in step S1030. A plurality of mission / clear lottery tables are provided according to each character (1 to N) and the step set value, and the expected value of winning is raised or lowered. For example, character 1 is provided with six mission / clear lottery tables corresponding to the step set values. When the step set value is 6, there is a 10% probability, and when the step set value is 1. There is a 4% chance of winning. When the step set value is 2 to 5, the intermediate value increases in order. Character N (N is an arbitrary natural number greater than or equal to 2) is set so as to increase in order with a probability of 1% to 2% corresponding to the stage setting value. It becomes possible. In this case, although it is difficult to clear, a privilege is given so that the number of additional games acquired when cleared is increased. In addition, even if the stage setting value is the same, according to the stay mode (super heaven mode, heaven mode, high probability mode, normal A mode, normal B mode, low probability mode, hell mode, super hell mode), mission clear lottery table The expected value may be increased or decreased (in this case, the expected value decreases in order).

  The sub-control unit 160 executes a mission / clear lottery after step S1035 in addition to the extra game number lottery every time the special button 14 is operated. Therefore, the sub-control unit 160 executes the extra game number lottery, mission clear lottery, and continuous lottery almost simultaneously for each operation based on the timing when the special button 14 (operation means) is operated.
