Description

  The present invention is a pachislot that uses medals and coins as a game medium, a pachislot that uses a pachinko ball as a game medium, and a substitute coin (game value) called electronic data or token without using a game medium as an entity. The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine (cylinder-type gaming machine) that plays games.

  The present invention also provides a program (for example, game software) in which a control step or control procedure for realizing the gaming method is recorded on an information storage medium such as a semiconductor memory, a memory stick, an HD (hard disk), or a blue ray disk. ) Is also related to 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. In the near future, it is also planned that the game value of electronic data and tokens equivalent to them will be recorded on an IC card and used for games without using medals or coins in the near future. Yes.

  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 and cherries won internally are stopped and displayed on the active line in a predetermined combination, a prize is awarded. 1 When the replay symbol is displayed on the active line and the replay (replay) is activated, the game medal is thrown out (or the number of games inserted in the previous game is inserted as it is, whereas about 5 game medals are paid out. And re-playing state where the next normal game can be performed.

  In particular, depending on the result of the internal lottery of a normal game, a bonus combination (one or two types of special character continuous operation device) is won internally, and a specific symbol (for example, a red 7 symbol or a blue 7 symbol) is generated by a reel drum stop operation. When they are all stopped and displayed on the active line, they enter the big bonus game mode (BB game mode: continuous action device), which is the most advantageous game mode for the player, and a large number of game medals are acquired at once. it can. 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 bonus flag is set in a data storage area such as RAM or RWM and stored, thereby storing predetermined specific symbols (7 symbols and bars). The flags are carried over to the subsequent variable display game until the symbols are ready.

  By the way, the conventional swivel-type game machine (No. 4) is relatively high in euphoria, and in order to suppress it, a law on customs business regulations and optimization of business (final revision: May, 1995) Law No. 55 of the 30th) was enforced and applied to the latest spinning machine called Unit 5.

  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 of the number of payouts in a single bonus game and the rate of increase in medals per game are limited to low 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 performance assigned to the machine itself are lost, and of course, the gameability and gambling are extremely lowered, and the player (slotter) who has been a good customer is moving away from the customer.

  However, even in such a strict regulatory situation, some restrictions have been relaxed, and as a result of new innovations, an ART function (assist replay time function) called the third bonus has been implemented. A slot machine to be installed was developed. This ART function is a symbol stop operation procedure (stop switch operation sequence or bonus symbol) for winning a small role that is won internally by lottery in a high-probability re-playing state that is easy to win replay (ie, a state that is difficult to lose). This is a function for notifying the operation timing for aiming the color of the image) with a liquid crystal display or voice and assisting (assist) the button operation. At present, the ART machine is the mainstream of the No. 5 slot machine.

  And especially recently, instead of increasing the number of acquisitions by the above-mentioned big bonus and regular bonus by main control, ART is activated at the desired timing (timing won by AT lottery by rare small role), By informing the push order, a small role is taken with high probability and a wave of balls is created. Going further, there are a lot of models that eliminate big bonuses and regular bonuses and control the ball with only the ART function, and a series of revolving game machines with various game characteristics are appearing one after another.

Folding type game machine Fist of the North Star -Legend of the Savior Legend of the Century- (Sammy) Revolving type game machine Midori Don VIVA! Passion South America (ELECO)

  By the way, as the original art of the ART newly developed by the applicant (Japanese Patent No. 4428725), when a single symbol small part is elected internally and the operation procedure of the stop button is correct, a plurality of predetermined symbols (for example, a bell symbol or a cherry symbol) are obtained. There are things that win on the line, but stop on a small number of lines with incorrect answers. When the AT is won, the player is notified of the correct operation procedure, and a large difference is made in the number of medals obtained. Furthermore, since a large number of medals can be obtained without reducing the number of hand-held medals during RT, it is possible to create a wave of balls and improve gambling.

  In addition, as an original technology developed by the applicant, a bonus with a small number of payouts is frequently won, and a bonus is released by notifying the operation procedure (order and / or timing) of the stop button during AT, and a large number of medals (Patent No. 4679654, Patent No. 4597249, Patent No. 4600944: referred to as pseudo-probability change or Neostock).

  However, with the former ART function alone, the maximum number of net increase per game is about 2.5, and in order to obtain 10,000, which is the standard for a large number of medals, it is about 4000 continuously for a minimum of about 5 hours. You have to play a game.

  In the latter pseudo-probability technology, not only a high level technique called a push is required, but if the bonus combination is elected alone, the bonus symbols will be automatically aligned regardless of the stop operation, so normal games Among them, one small part (inhibiting small part) is frequently won to prevent the bonus part from being won.

  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, there is little loss area and the RT state (high probability re-playing state) that is preferable for the player cannot release the bonus combination. It becomes a Chang state.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine or the like that is equipped with a conventional bonus combination such as BB or RB and an ART function that is a third bonus and that can further increase the net increase number per game. .

In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 is in a normal replay state in which a winning probability of a replay role is low when a bonus game started by winning a bonus role ends, and a plurality of symbols A lottery is performed in a variation display game that fluctuates a plurality of symbol sequences on which the symbol is drawn, and the symbol sequences that change by the operation of a stop switch provided corresponding to the plurality of symbol sequences are individually stopped and appear in the display window. In the gaming machine that displays the winning combination of the combination according to the combination of the symbols, the first predetermined number of game media is inserted, the bonus combination is won internally in the variable display game in the normal replay state started by the start operation, If the winning is avoided, the game state transition means for shifting to a high probability replay state in which the winning probability of the replay role is higher than the normal replay state, A lottery means for lottery drawing a plurality of small roles and replay roles in a high-probability replay state variable display game in which the bonus role is internally won in And a control means for controlling a plurality of symbol sequences to stop at a predetermined position in accordance with the lottery result of the combination lottery means and the operation of the stop switch, and a lottery for activating the assist function when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Assist lottery means and notification means for notifying the operation sequence of the stop switch, in order to activate the assist function when a lottery is lost in the variable display game of the high probability replay state in which the bonus combination is won internally The plurality of small roles are provided with a plurality of push order small roles composed of a target small role and a push order specified small role. In the high-probability re-game state variable display game in which the bonus combination is won internally, the combination lottery means sets the probability of losing to 1/65536 to 1/65536, and a plurality of small combinations and replay combinations and a lottery, the notification means, the assist function is invoked by the lottery of the assist lottery means, one of the push order small win the lottery of the winning combination lottery means constitutes When you win, the press order small win of the one target An operation order for winning a small role is notified, and when the stop switch is operated in the operation order, the control means wins the target small role, while the lottery means loses the lottery. It performs a bonus game when bonus combination that internal winning is winning, the bonus game is to put the game medium at the second predetermined number less than the first predetermined number of game media, the second predetermined Always is winning of small prize of the same dividends as the number with eliminating decrease of game media, only by the small hand is always winning a predetermined number of times, and ends when paying out a second predetermined number × predetermined number of times of game media, The game state transition means shifts to a normal replay state when the bonus game is finished.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, in the RT state in which the bonus combination is won internally, the target small combination with a large number of payouts can be won frequently without being lost, so that compared to the conventional case, 1 It is possible to increase the number of net increase per game. Note that the same effect can be obtained even if the loss is minimized. For example, the loss probability in the RT state is set to about 1 to 10/65536, and when the loss occurs, a freeze effect is performed to give the number of ART sets and the number of additional games, or to shift to a zone where the ART is added with a high probability. It may be.

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). There are motorized toys and doors that can be used for productions, bumpers that move up and down, or ships that swing, etc. However, there are cases where productions that are not related to the internal winning combination are simply performed.)

  The front door 1b and the design panel 22 are formed by integrally molding a resin material with a mold. Generally, the molding method includes injection molding, extrusion molding, foam molding, vacuum molding, and the like, and the resin material is ABS. Various general-purpose resins such as these are used.

  Reference numeral 2 denotes a drum portion (reel drum) built in the housing 1a, and is composed of three drums: a left drum 2a, a middle drum 2b, and a right drum 2c. Inside each of the drums, a rotating part symbol display LED (not shown) is provided, which emits light (turns on and blinks) or turns off according to various effects. That is, each drum is a symbol row that displays a plurality of symbols in a row from top to bottom, and in this case, a variable display game for changing three symbol rows (plural rows) is started. Note that, in the case where symbols are displayed using a liquid crystal display device or the like instead of each drum, this corresponds to a variable display game in which a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are drawn is varied.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes a window provided in the center of the front surface of the design panel 22 so that the symbols on the reel tape attached to the outer periphery of the drum unit 2 can be visually observed through the transparent panel 21. In this window portion 3, there are a total of five effective lines, which are three effective lines extending in the lateral direction and two effective lines intersecting obliquely, with the left drum 2 a and the middle drum 2 b and the middle drum 2 b and the right It is displayed prominently by a line connecting the drums 2c. However, the effective lines are not limited to the horizontal direction, the diagonal direction, and the number of lines, but are appropriately determined at the design stage, such as a V-shaped shape or a reverse small mountain shape. Note that a rotating part line display LED is embedded below the effective line, and lights or blinks when winning or operating.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes a display LED block provided below the window 3 and on the lower surface of the design panel 22, and as will be described later, an insertion number LED 4a, a medal storage number display LED 4b, a medal payout number display LED 4c, and a replay display LED 4d. And a display LED group of error display LEDs 4e.

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a medal insertion unit, which is a game medal for starting a variable display game for rotating and stopping the drum unit 2 (rotating drum) (a game medium, sometimes referred to as “coin” or simply “medal”). There is a medal slot to insert. Note that a left light transmitting portion 5a and a right light transmitting portion 5b are provided on both sides of the medal insertion portion 5, and the medal is received by light from a plurality of light sources (for example, LEDs) attached to the lower left and right. When it is impossible to insert, it is red (first color). On the other hand, when a medal can be inserted and displayed for addition for gaming, it is blue (second color). When it is displayed for addition on the medal storage device, it is green. Lights in (third color). However, if a medal cannot be inserted, it may be turned off. In the game software, the game medium is data (for example, the number of inserted medals, credit value data, or token) that means a game medal or a game coin, and an actual game medal or game coin is inserted from the medal insertion unit 5. Is not to be done.

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

  An adjustment button 6 is used for starting and releasing a medal storage device (not shown) and paying out the inserted medal and the stored medal.

  Reference numeral 7 denotes a 1-bet button, which is used when inserting one stored medal of the medal storing device in order to play a game. Recently, the 1-bet button 7 may not be provided. Further, on the left side of the 1-bet button 7, a cursor operation in the vertical and horizontal directions and a cross key (not shown) necessary for viewing history information may be provided.

  A maximum bet button 8 is a maximum inserted number (one piece) defined according to the gaming state, such as when a maximum of three stored medals in the medal storage device are inserted to play a game, or during a bonus game. Or 2 sheets: optimal number of sheets). Note that an LED is provided inside the max bet button 3, and lights up when the max bet button 3 is operable.

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

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

  11 is a display effect device composed of a color display using a cathode ray tube, an LCD (liquid crystal display), a PDP (plasma display panel) or an FPD (flat panel display) such as an organic EL (electroluminescence), Various video effects related to the spinning game and notification of required information can be performed. Regardless of whether or not dedicated glasses are used, 3D display devices that can display stereoscopic images in 3D display have recently been manufactured at a low cost, and 7D and other effect images are projected in a reach state or a big hit state. Gaming machines that adopt the are becoming mainstream.

  A speaker unit 12 includes four speakers, an upper left speaker 12a, an upper right speaker 12b, a lower left speaker 12c, and a lower right speaker 12d. During changing of sound effects and step set values according to various effects, or the front door A warning sound is generated when 1b is open or when a trouble occurs. When a serious trouble (selector error, hopper error or RAM error, but door opening is not included) occurs, the error display LED 4e is turned on together with a warning sound.

  Reference numeral 13 denotes a game state display LED unit, which is an upper state display LED 13a provided at the top of the display effect device 11, an upper left state display LED 13b, an upper right state display LED 13c, a left middle state display LED 13d and a right middle It is composed of a status display LED 13e, a lower left status display LED 13f, a lower right status display LED 13g, and a middle lower status display LED 13h, and various light effects can be effectively performed. Further, the flashing is repeated as a warning display when the step set value is being changed or when the front door 1b is open or when a trouble occurs.

  Since this game state display LED part 13 (13a-13h) is arrange | positioned so that the outer periphery of the front door 1b may be made to go around substantially the circumference, a colorful light is not interrupted with respect to a player, and an outer periphery collar part is tangled. It is possible to effectively perform a light effect such as turning. In particular, the upper state display LED 13a provided at the upper center position of the front door 1b (upper center position on the front surface of the gaming machine main body) is called a top lamp, and is unique to the internal winning or winning rare prize. It plays a central role in the light production that emits light in color and informs the player of the winning combination and so on, and raises the expectation.

  FIG. 1B shows an embodiment of a rotating type gaming machine housing in which a logo panel portion 17 to be described later is eliminated, and the top lamp 13a is enlarged to that extent. This top lamp 13a is a variable display game that fluctuates the drum part, and when the internal winning combination is determined in advance by lottery and the three drum parts are stopped by operating the stop switch, it corresponds to the internal winning combination or winning combination. Lights off in a unique color (cherry is red, plum is purple, bell is yellow, and replay is blue), then turns off during the interval until the next variable display game starts, or white that is different from the unique color It becomes a light emission state with neutral colors.

  Note that a plurality of status display LEDs for notifying the bonus winning notification and necessary information may be provided in the left and right spaces (on the upper surface portion 22a) of the display effect device 11. In addition, an AT stock notification lamp for performing AT stock notification is provided in the left and right spaces (on the inner surface portion 22b) of the drum unit 2, and the left AT stock notification lamp is selected in the range of 1 to 9 AT stocks.

When the front door 1b is closed, LED light emitted from the photosensor is reflected. While reflected by the plate and detected by the phototransistor, the reflected light is not detected in the opened state, so that the open / closed state of the front door 1b can be detected.

  Reference numeral 28 denotes a power supply unit. When the power switch 28c is turned on, power is supplied to each circuit block, and a variable display game can be played after initial check and initial setting.

  Reference numeral 28a denotes a setting key switch (also referred to as a setting change permission switch), which is used when performing a stage setting operation of the payout rate and confirmation of a stage setting value. By inserting the operation key into the key hole 28d and rotating it, the state can be changed from OFF to ON or vice versa.

  28b is an error release switch, which is used when setting the stage of the payout rate or when canceling the game stop due to an error.

  4c is a medal payout number display LED which displays a step setting value of the payout rate. The value is incremented by 1 every time the error canceling switch 28b is pressed, and after “6” is displayed, “1” is displayed. Return and display turnaround.

  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 (LE4380A-PA-S manufactured by EL Tech Co.) on which a microprocessor incorporating a CPU is mounted, and a control procedure for a predetermined data table area and the entire apparatus. ROM 101 for storing a control program in which is described, and RAM 102 (RWM: also referred to as rewritable memory, which includes a counter, a register, etc., and temporarily stores information necessary for control. Also includes not only internal but also external RAM. )). 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, and the display LED block 4 via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus. These devices can be controlled by transmitting and receiving output signals.

  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 state of humiliation, if he wins in the selected game, he can recover more than he has been losing until now, or Dalian can, 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 controller 100 controls the number display of the input number LED 4a 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. Yes, it is devised to invite the player's interest.

  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 The notification video corresponding to the established combination (small combination or replay) is displayed (see FIG. 17C).

  When the effects of FIG. 17 (B) occur frequently and then develop in multiple stages, it becomes a sign effect (a fierce effect effect) where there is a large amount of AT stock and the expectation of AT release. 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 in accordance with a predetermined timing at the 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, these m1 to m7 values are set appropriately in consideration of laws and regulations (wind management law) and game characteristics, but in the case of an A type normal machine, the BB winning probability is “1/200”. RB winning probability is about 1/400, cherry and watermelon winning probability is about 1/50, bell winning probability is about 1/6, and replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3. It has become.

  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, in the case of a three-sheet machine, a lottery table with one inserted 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 an accessory continuous operation device) and ends with payout exceeding 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: operation of the continuous action device), and ends with payout exceeding 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, if it stops at the middle stage of the left drum, it will be one sheet (short cho), but if it is the upper stage or the lower stage, there will be two active lines and the payout will be 2 in total. It becomes a sheet (square che).

  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 basic operation of the swivel type gaming machine configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to flowcharts 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 proceeds to step S130. If the setting key switch 28a is in the ON state, the main control unit 100 calls a setting change subroutine in step S120 (transfers to the setting change mode).

  In the setting change mode of step S120, before the game hall side causes the player to play, the 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.

  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 21 different symbols on it, which are anomalous but the bonus-actuated symbols "Pentagon (Red)", "Pentagon (Blue)", "Pentagon (White)" , "Red 7", "Bell", "Rectangle (Red)", "Rectangle (Blue)", "Rectangle (White)" of the symbols that make up the various small roles, and the replay of the symbols that act as replays are drawn It is. The three types of pentagonal symbols also serve as small roles. “Bonus is activated” is synonymous with “bonus is winning”. Further, “replay (replay) is activated” is synonymous with “replay (replay) wins”.

  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 inserted game medals (dedicated to three general games). Do.

  FIG. 24B is an effective line when a predetermined number of game medals are inserted, and the first line (upper, middle, lower: right) in the order of left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c. Down), second line (lower, middle, upper: upper right), third line (upper, middle, upper: V-shaped) and fourth line (lower, middle, lower: chevron or inverted V-shaped) Becomes effective. Note that, in the bonus game (RB: when the first type special character is activated), the prescribed number of game medals is two, but the effective lines are exactly the same in the first to fourth lines.

  FIG. 25 is a payout table when an accessory is not in operation (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 or operating on an effective line (see FIG. 24) corresponding to the number of inserted game medals. In this case, the effective lines are the same regardless of the number of inserted sheets (3 or 2 sheets).

  (1) Bonus combination (RB: first type special combination): left drum 2a (pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), pentagon (white)), middle drum 2b (pentagon (red), This is the name of a pentagon (blue) or pentagon (white)), or when ((pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), pentagon (white)) stops on the active line on the right drum 2c. The regular bonus game will be awarded after that, and there are 27 kinds of combination symbols (3 × 3 × 3), and when the player wins the game alone, the stop operation sequence of the stop button 10 Regardless of the timing, the symbol is arranged on any one of the active lines so that the predetermined bonus role symbol is stopped and the player always wins. It is supposed to end, but There will be no increase / decrease in medals because there are always 2 winnings and 2 small roles will be won, while the expected increase / decrease in regular bonus games will be 0 and the winning small role will be missed. In the initial state (RT0 state: replay probability is about 1 / 7.3), the bonus combination (RB) is won internally. When the condition device is activated, the winning probability of the replay changes from the next game to a high probability replaying state (RT1 state: replay probability about 1 / 1.8). At the end (operation end), the winning probability of replay fluctuates and returns to the initial state (RT0 state), that is, the player is in the RT0 state, RT1 state, regular bonus game state. Will perform variable display game Re or gaming state. In this initial state, usually a general game during the game (see Figure 26).

  (2) Red 7 small part (FR1: first target small part): Name of the case when the left drum 2a is stopped with the red symbol on the left drum 2a, the bell drum symbol on the middle drum 2b, and the bell symbol on the right drum 2c. Thus, the acquired number (paid-out number) is 15. When a red 7 small combination is won internally by lottery, one condition device for FR1 (fruit 1) is activated. Assuming that FR1 has only one type of combination symbol and has won an internal winning independently, regardless of the stop operation sequence or timing of the stop button unit 10, the predetermined red 7 small role symbol is on any one of the active lines. The symbols are arranged to stop and win a prize. In addition, as described later, the red 7 small combination is in the RT0 state or the RT1 state. It is designed to win simultaneously with one of the three. The first target small combination is a small combination that should be won, and is advantageous to the player.

  (3) Bell small combination (FR2: second target small combination): This is the name of the combination when the bell symbols are aligned on the active line, and the number obtained is two. When the bell small combination is elected in the lottery, one condition device for FR2 (fruit 2) is activated. Assuming that FR2 has only one type of combination symbol and has won an internal winning independently, regardless of the stop operation sequence and timing of the stop button unit 10, the bell symbol stops on any one of the active lines and always wins a prize. The pattern is arranged like this. Further, as will be described later, in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, the bell small combination is one-sided small portion left 1-3 for pushing order control, one-third small-portion 1-3, and one small-portion right 1-3. Any one of these will be won simultaneously. The second target small combination is a small combination that should be won, and is advantageous to the player.

  The single small combination for controlling the pressing order is a small combination for drawing the bonus combination described above (bonus pulling small combination). In this embodiment, there are nine types, and at the same time when the pressing order of the stop button portion is correct. The winning red 7 small combination (first target small combination) or bell small combination (second target small combination) wins, while one incorrect small combination or bonus combination winning simultaneously is won. If the answer is incorrect, the probability that the bonus combination is won is 2/3.

  (4) One small part left 1 (FR3): The left drum 2a has a square (brown) design, and the middle drum 2b has a (pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), pentagon (white) design, right This is the title when one of the symbols (pentagonal (red), pentagonal (blue), pentagonal (white)) on the drum 2c is stopped on the active line. It becomes a sheet. When the one small role left 1 is won internally by lottery, one condition device for FR3 (fruit 3) is activated. Assuming that the FR3 has nine types of combination symbols and the internal winning is performed independently, if the left stop button 10a is operated at a timing when the square (brown) symbol is retracted, the stop operation sequence and timing of the other stop button portions 10 are changed. Regardless, the symbols are arranged on any one of the active lines so that a predetermined one small role left one symbol stops and wins. On the contrary, if the left stop button 10a is operated at a timing at which the square (brown) symbol cannot be drawn, a loss occurs. Incidentally, 1 is stored as the pressing order data in which the first stop operation means the left stop button 10a in association with the left small 1 left (01 in 2-bit binary number). However, it is possible to set a logic so as to guide that the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a if one small left is 1 by the push order determination program. In general, push order data is stored in relation to the required data capacity.

  (5) One-piece small combination left 2 (FR4): One-sheet small combination left 1 is that the design of the left drum 2a is changed to a square (blue) design, and the others are the same, so the description is omitted.

  (6) One small part left 3 (FR5): One small part left 1 is that the design of the left drum 2a is changed to a square (white) design, and the rest is the same, and the description thereof is omitted.

  (7) 1 small part 1 (FR6): left drum 2a (Pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), pentagon (white)), square drum 2b square (brown), right This is the title when one of the symbols (pentagonal (red), pentagonal (blue), pentagonal (white)) on the drum 2c is stopped on the active line. It becomes a sheet. When 1 out of 1 small roles is won internally by lottery, one condition device of FR6 (fruit 6) is activated. Assuming that the FR6 has nine types of combination symbols and the internal winning is performed independently, if the middle stop button 10b is operated at the timing when the square (brown) symbol is retracted, the stop operation sequence and timing of the other stop button portions 10 are changed. Regardless, the symbols are arranged on any one of the active lines so that one symbol in a given small piece stops and wins. On the contrary, if the middle stop button 10b is operated at a timing at which the square (brown) symbol cannot be drawn, a loss occurs. As described above, 2 is stored as the pressing order data in which the first stop operation means the middle stop button 10b in association with one of the small ones (two 10-bit binary numbers).

  (8) 1 small piece 2 (FR7): 1 small piece 1 is that the design of the middle drum 2b is changed to a square (blue) design, and the rest is the same, so the description is omitted.

  (9) 1 small piece 3 (FR8): 1 small piece 1 is that the design of the medium drum 2b is changed to a square (white) design, and the rest is the same, so the description is omitted.

  (10) One small role right 1 (FR9): (Pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), pentagon (white)) on the left drum 2a, and (pentagon (red), pentagon on the middle drum 2b) (Blue) or pentagon (white)), and the right drum 2c is a title when a square (brown) symbol (9 types of symbol combinations) is aligned on the active line and stopped. It becomes a sheet. When one small role right 1 is elected internally by lottery, one condition device of FR9 (fruit 9) is activated. Assuming that the FR9 has nine types of combination symbols and the internal winning is performed independently, if the right stop button 10c is operated at the timing when the square (brown) symbol is retracted, the stop operation order and timing of the other stop button portions 10 are changed. Regardless, the symbols are arranged on any one of the active lines so that one symbol in a given small piece stops and wins. On the other hand, if the right stop button 10c is operated at a timing at which the square (brown) symbol cannot be drawn, a loss occurs. In addition, as described above, 3 is stored as the pressing order data in which the first stop operation means the right stop button 10c in association with the single small role right 1 (11 in 2-bit binary number).

  (11) One small combination right 2 (FR10): One small combination right 1 is that the design of the right drum 2c is changed to a square (blue) design, and the others are the same, so the description is omitted.

  (12) One small combination right 3 (FR11): One small combination right 1 is that the design of the right drum 2c is changed to a square (white) design, and the rest is the same, so the description is omitted.

  (13) Replay (replay): This is the title when three replay symbols are aligned on the active line. In contrast to this, no medal is acquired, and when the RP flag is set in the flag area, Or if you win simultaneously with other small roles or bonus roles, replay will always work. Replay has one type of combination symbol, and the player can operate the next game without inserting medals by operating the start lever 9. Note that even if the replay is activated, it does not trigger a change in RT (replay winning probability).

  This embodiment is to explain the basic configuration. In addition to the winning combination described above, for example, a big bonus combination (BB: Type 1 or Type 2 special combination) in which three red 7 symbols are arranged on the active line. Continuous action device), rare small roles such as cherries and watermelons, chances (chance), red 7 replays that are won only during other special replays and bonus games (upper horizontal line, middle horizontal, which is an invalid line) It is also possible to provide a replay role that seems to have red 7 symbols aligned on the line or the lower horizontal line. When these rare small roles and chance roles are won internally, an ART lottery is performed, or an ART is determined by an internal winning of a red 7 replay role, and a plurality of sets of ARTs are given by lottery.

  FIG. 26 is a conceptual diagram showing a game state transition diagram and lottery probabilities of various combinations. FIG. 26B shows a lottery probability in a general game, FIG. 26C shows a lottery probability inside the RB, and FIG. 26D shows a lottery probability in the RB.

  In FIG. 26A, the general game (denoted as “general game” in the figure) starts from the next game after the regular bonus game (RB game) has ended or the game after the stage setting value has been re-entered. . The replay probability (probability that replay is won) in this general game is about 1 / 7.3.

  When an RB that is a bonus combination wins internally and RB wins in that game, the RB game starts from the next game. The RB game ends with eight games or eight wins, and enters a normal replay state in which the winning probability of the replay role is low from the next game. While the player is playing a game, the general game (decrease of medals in the normal replay state) → RB wins internally → RB winning → RB game 8 times → RB game end → general game is repeated.

  On the other hand, even if the RB is won internally in the general game, if the RB winning is avoided, the bonus combination is won in the RT state (inside the bonus or inside the RB) (FIG. 26 (A) hatched portion) reference). As will be described later, since there is no losing (unfair election) in the RT state, the player can play a variable display game in an advantageous gaming state. Note that the loss may be reduced as much as possible. For example, if the loss probability in the RT state is about 1 to 10/65536 and the start lever 9 is lost, the freeze effect (the effect performed during the time until the rotation speed of the drum unit 2 becomes constant) I do. During this freeze production, the stop button unit 10 cannot be stopped, but a special movie is played on the display production device 11 as a hot production, and the drum unit 2 is rotated in reverse to produce a red 7 design (design for production). Are aligned to a straight line or a diagonal line, and the number of ART sets is increased by the number of times the red 7 symbols are aligned. When the freeze effect is finished, a bonus combination is won by a stop operation of the stop button unit 10, but a lottery is performed during the eight bonus games (RB games), and the number of ART sets and the number of added games is increased. Is granted. In other words, if a losing is drawn during ART, an RB win-> RB game results, but this RB game becomes a special zone where ART is added with a high probability.

  In the general game (see FIG. 26B), the number of RBs is 12000, and the winning probability is 12000/65536. The number of RBs, Bell small combination and single small combination winning simultaneously is 6000, and the winning probability is 6000/65536. The number of red 7 winning combinations and 1 winning combination is 23000, and the winning probability is 23000/65536. The number of replays is 8978, and the winning probability is 8978/65536 (1 / 7.3). On the other hand, the probability of losing (losing) is 15558/65536 (1 / 4.2).

  Inside the RB (see FIG. 26C), the RB lottery is not performed, so the winning probability is zero. Note that the inside of the RB is a state in which the RB flag is set and the RB is already hit. During the inside of this RB, a high-probability re-playing state (RT state) in which the winning probability of replay varies. The lottery area of the RB placement number 12000 shown in FIG. 26B and the placement number 15558 which was unsuccessful (losing) becomes a new replay winning region. Therefore, 36536, which is the original replay number 8978 plus the number 12000 and the number 15558, becomes a number, and the winning probability of replay is 36536/65536 (about 1 / 1.8), and the number of unfair wins is 0. It becomes. That is, in the inside of the RB where there is no losing, the AT function is activated to notify the push order for winning the red 7 small role or the bell small role, thereby allowing the player to efficiently acquire medals.

  Calculating the expected value inside the RB, the probability of winning the red 7 small role is 23000/65536, and the increase is 12 (15 payouts-3 inserts), so 4.2 / game Become. On the other hand, the probability of winning the bell small role is 6000/65536, and the increased number is −1 (2 payouts−3 inserts), so −0.09 / game. Even if a replay is won, the next game can be played without inserting medals, so the expected value does not change. Therefore, if the AT activates inside the RB and wins the Red 7 small part and the Bell small part, it will increase on average by about 4.1 cards / game, and the maximum net increase in Unit 5 will be increased. Can be achieved.

  During the RB (see FIG. 26D), the number of the bell small role is 65536, and the winning probability is 100%. Since there are two payouts and two inserts, there is no increase or decrease in medals during this period. However, if a plurality of types of small roles are drawn out and the specifications are such that they are missed in the pressing order, the expected value of the obtained number can be lowered intentionally.

  About the special zone: When the loss probability in the RT state (RB internal winning) is about 1 to 10/65536, the RB operates the stop button unit 10 when the loss is drawn although it is an extremely low probability. However, eight bonus games and subsequent general games become special zones, and ART stock and the number of ART games are added. That is, similar to the above-described conventional Hamari game, lose (unfair) during ART → RB win 8 → RB game 8 → RB game end → General game → RB wins internally → RB win 8 → RB game 8 → RB The game ends → general game is repeated, but the ART stock and the number of ART games are added in this loop. In addition, during the general game, when the red 7 small combination and the single small combination are won internally, the operational order for winning a prize by the AT function is notified, so that medals increase. 10 to 100 games are always won using the ART lottery table during 8 RB games, and the expected additional value of the number of ART games is 300 games. Since the expected additional value of ART stock is 2 sets (50 games / set), approximately 400 games are added. If a red 7 small role is won during a general game, 20 to 200 games are always won, and the expected additional value for the number of ART games is 50 games / win. Therefore, the player wishes that the red 7 small role or RB wins during the general game. On the other hand, when the RB + Bell small combination + 1 sheet small combination is drawn, the AT function makes it inside the RB. In other words, when a loss is pulled during ART, the conventional Hamar zone changes to a super addition zone. This playability is a revolutionary new technology.

  FIG. 27 is a conceptual diagram showing a simultaneous winning state of a combination.

  FIG. 27A shows a state in which RB, a bell small part (FR2), and a single small part (FR3) are won at the same time during a general game (normal time) (see FIG. 26B). Since the pushing order data of one small combination (FR3) is 1, the left stop button 10a is the correct operation order.

  FIG. 27B shows a state in which a red 7 small combination (FR1) and a single small combination (FR7) are won at the same time during a general game (see FIG. 26B). Since the pressing order data for one small combination (FR7) is 2, the middle stop button 10b is the correct operation order.

  FIG. 27C shows a state in which the red seven small combination (FR1) and the single small combination (FR11) are won at the same time inside the RB (see FIG. 26C). Of course, the RB flag is set in the inside of the RB, and the RB is selected even if the RB is not drawn. Since the pressing order data of one small combination (FR11) is 3, the right stop button 10c is the correct operation order.

  FIG. 28 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  For example, in the general game, when the RB, the bell small part (FR2) and the single small part (FR3) shown in FIG. 26 (B) and FIG. 27 (A) are won simultaneously by random lottery, the RB flag, the FR2 flag And the FR3 flag is set.

  When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop while all the drums in the drum unit 2 are rotating, the main control unit 100 stores the control information (the bell symbol is drawn at the first left stop). ) (The push order is “correct”), and regardless of the order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation thereafter, only the bell small role is always won by the stop control process, Pay out the medal. That is, the main control unit 100 starts a variable display game that fluctuates three symbol sequences, and RB, bell small role (second target small role), and push order regulation by a lottery of a combination (also referred to as “design lottery”). One small combination (9 types of symbol combinations) that is a small combination is simultaneously won internally. When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the order of pressing (left first) stored corresponding to the one small combination, the bell symbol is stopped on the active line and the bell small combination is won. Further, as will be described later, if the pressing order is correct, stop control is performed so that neither an RB that is won internally or a single winning combination will be awarded at the same time. In other words, the main control unit 100 matches the stored control information (first left) when the player operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop while all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. Therefore, the bell symbol is preferentially drawn on the active line and stopped.

  FIG. 28A 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 red 7 of No. 9 is at the reference position (the state in which red 7 of No. 9 can be immediately stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a. See FIG. 28B), the main control unit 100 sets the effective line Pull-in control is performed so that only one bell symbol stops at any point. In this case, no. 5 is stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 28C). As a result, the left drum 2a slides four frames and stops. Note that the main control unit 100 can stop the square (brown) symbol of one small combination (FR3) that is won simultaneously on the active line, but constitutes a small bell combination with a large number of payouts. The bell symbol is given priority and stopped. In this state, the red, blue, and white pentagon symbol (both symbols) that doubles as one small symbol and RB symbol does not stop on the active line, so only the bell small symbol may win a prize. However, the main control unit 100 is configured to perform stop control so that the bonus combination symbol is prioritized and aligned when the bonus combination and the small combination can be drawn.

  FIG. 29 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 29 (A) is the same as FIG. 28 (C). When 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. The bell symbol 8 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 29B). 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. Further, the tempering state in FIG. 29B is also referred to as a “reach state” of 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. 7 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 29C). Since the six bell symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged within an interval of four frames, any bell symbol can be arbitrarily stopped at the upper or lower stage of the right drum 2c to win a prize. (Second line in the figure). If it stops at the upper stage, it becomes a strong bell and an AT lottery is performed with high probability.

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

  FIG. 30 (A) is the same as FIG. 29 (A), and when the player stops the right stop button 10c in the second stop in a state where the left drum 2a is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed in the lower stage. In the same manner as in FIG. 7 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 30B). In addition, since the six bell symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged within an interval of four frames, any bell symbol in the pull-in range is stopped at the upper or lower stage of the right drum 2c to be in a tempered state. Is possible.

  When the player performs the stop operation of the middle stop button 10b in the third stop in the tempered state of FIG. The bell symbol 8 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 30C). 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 can be stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b and awarded. (The second line in the figure). In other words, if any one of the RB, the bell small combination, and the left first single small combination (FR3 to FR5) is won at the same time, if the first pressing order is the left stop button 10a, any operation is performed thereafter. The bell small combination wins, but the RB or single small combination does not win. As a result, in the variable display game after the next game, the player enters the high probability re-gaming state (RT state) during the RB internal winning, so that the player can play the game without being unfairly (losing). The sub-control unit 160 uses the display effect device 11 and the speaker unit 12 in the AT state to notify a predetermined first order (in this case, left first) for winning the bell small role.

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

  FIG. 31 (A) shows a state where all the drums of the drum section 2 are rotating, as in FIG. 28 (A). In this state, the player stops the middle stop button 10b at the first stop, for example, No. When the stop operation is performed when the pentagon (red) 1 is at the reference position (the No. 1 pentagon (red) can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the middle drum 2b; see FIG. 31B), the main control unit 100 Is the middle position of the middle drum 2b through which the effective line passes, Seventeen pentagonal (white) symbols are stopped (see FIG. 31C). As a result, the middle drum 2b slides for 4 frames and stops. The main control unit 100 can also stop the bell symbol (No. 19) of the bell winning combination (FR2) simultaneously selected on the active line. This means that the order of pressing is wrong, so that the pentagonal (white) symbol of the single small role (FR3) within the drawing frame number range is stopped on the active line. Also, no matter what timing the player operates the middle drum 2b at the first stop, the pentagon (red) symbol, pentagon that forms the one-piece small role (FR3) that is arranged at the farthest four frame intervals Any one of the (blue) symbol and the pentagonal (white) symbol can be stopped at the middle position. However, the reason why the main control unit 100 does not draw in the bell symbol is that the number of symbol combinations is 3 (square (brown), pentagon (white), pentagon (red / blue / white) when one small role symbol is drawn. On the other hand, the number of symbol combinations when the bell small role symbol is drawn is 1, and in any case, the number of symbol combinations is larger for the single small size symbol (FR3) than for the bell small role. is there. That is, if the pushing order of the first stop is incorrect, the symbols constituting the one-piece small combination (FR3) can be drawn on the active line and stopped. And since this 1 piece small role symbol serves as RB symbol, as a result, the symbol of both roles is drawn. In other words, the main control unit 100 does not match the stored control information (first left) when the player operates the middle stop button 10b at the first stop while all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. Therefore, the small symbol symbol is preferentially drawn on the active line and stopped. In the state of FIG. 31 (C), since the bell symbol does not stop on the active line, only the bonus combination (RB) or one small combination may be won.

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

  FIG. 32 (A) is the same as FIG. 31 (C). When the player stops the right stop button 10c in the second stop in the state where the middle drum 2b is stopped and the replay symbol is displayed in the lower stage. The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. 3 pentagonal (red) symbol is stopped at the lower stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 32B). The pentagon (red) symbol, pentagon (blue) symbol, or pentagon (white) symbol constituting the one small role (FR3) is arranged at intervals of 6 frames on the right drum 2c, and therefore is in the drawing range. Any pentagonal (red / blue / white) symbol can be stopped at either the upper stage or the lower stage of the right drum 2c to enter a tempered state. In this case, not only one small combination (FR3) but also the RB combination is in a tempering state (double tempering state or a state where any combination can be won).

  In the double tempering state shown in FIG. 32 (B), the player stops the left stop button 10a at the third stop, If the stop operation is performed when the bell symbol 5 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 causes the No. 5 The four square (brown) symbols are stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a, and the one-piece small combination (FR3) is awarded on the fourth line (see FIG. 32C). In addition, No. No. 10 discarded pattern-No. When the left stop button 10a is stopped when the square (brown) pattern of No. 4 is at the reference position, No. 4 is displayed. The four square (brown) symbols can be stopped on the first line or the fourth line, and a single small combination (FR3) can be won. In other words, since the stop operation may be performed within the range of 7 frames out of 21 frames, the winning probability is 1/3. As a result, in the variable display game after the next game, the player enters the high probability re-gaming state (RT state) during the RB internal winning, so that the player can play the game without being unfairly (losing).

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

  FIG. 33A shows the same double tempered state as FIG. 32B, and the player stops the left stop button 10a in the third stop, If the stop operation is performed when the discarded symbol 3 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 causes the No. 3 symbol located two frames above. 1 pentagonal (red) symbol is stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a, and the RB combination is won on the fourth line (see FIG. 33B).

  Further, in the state of FIG. 33A, the player stops the left stop button 10a at the third stop, When the stop operation is performed when the square (blue) of 11 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 is moved to No. 3 above 3 frames. The pentagonal (blue) symbol of 8 is stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a, and the RB combination is won on the fourth line (see FIG. 33C). That is, no. 1-No. 3 or No. 11-No. When the player stops the left stop button 10a when any of the 21 symbols is at the reference position, the RB symbol stops on the first line or the fourth line, and the RB combination wins. That is, if the stop operation is performed in the range of 14 frames out of 21 frames, the RB combination will win, and the winning probability is 2/3. As a result, the next game becomes a bonus game, and the game is played in a state where medals do not increase (or decrease). Note that, when the left stop button 10a is operated in the second stop, the winning mode is the same as a result, and a single small combination (FR3) or RB combination is won, and the description is omitted.

  FIG. 34 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  For example, in a general game, if the red 7 small combination (FR1) and the single small combination (FR7) shown in FIG. 26 (B) and FIG. 27 (B) are won simultaneously by random lottery, the FR1 flag and the FR7 flag are set. stand.

  When the player operates the middle stop button 10b at the first stop while all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating, the main control unit 100 stores the control information (the bell symbol is drawn at the middle first stop). ) (The push order is “correct answer”), regardless of the order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation thereafter, only the red 7 small combination is always won by the stop control process. Pay out medals. That is, the main control unit 100 starts a variable display game that fluctuates three symbol sequences, and by a lottery of a combination, a red seven small combination (first target small combination) and a single small combination (a first order small combination ( Nine kinds of symbol combinations) are simultaneously won internally. When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the pressing order (medium first) stored corresponding to the one small combination, the bell symbol is stopped on the active line and the red seven small combination is won. Further, as will be described later, if the pressing order is correct, stop control is performed so as not to win the single winning combination that is won internally. In other words, the main control unit 100 matches the stored control information (medium first) when the player operates the middle stop button 10b at the first stop while all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. Therefore, the bell symbol constituting the red 7 small combination is preferentially drawn on the active line and stopped.

  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 bell symbol 8 is in the reference position and the stop operation is performed (a state in which the No. 7 pentagonal (blue) symbol can be immediately stopped at the middle position of the middle drum 2b. See FIG. 34B), the main control unit 100 Pull-in control is performed so that the bell symbol stops on the effective line. In this case, no. 3 is stopped at the middle position of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 34C). As a result, the middle drum 2b slides for 4 frames and stops. In this case, the main control unit 100 cannot stop the active line because it is not in the pull-in range because the single winning combination (FR7) square (blue) symbol is not in the drawing range. Even if the square (blue) symbol is pulled in, it matches the stored control information (medium first), so the bell symbol is preferentially stopped on the active line. As a result, only the Red 7 small role may win.

  FIG. 35 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 35 (A) is the same as FIG. 34 (C). When the player stops the right stop button 10c in the second stop in the state where the middle drum 2b is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed in the middle stage. The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. 11 bell symbols are stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 35B). Since the six bell symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged at intervals of three frames at the farthest, stop any bell symbol in the pull-in range at the upper or lower stage of the right drum 2c, and enter the tempering state. Is possible.

  When the player stops the left stop button 10a at the third stop in the tempered state of FIG. 2 red 7 symbols are stopped at the lower stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 35C). Since the three red 7 symbols on the left drum 2a are arranged at intervals of 6 frames, one of the red 7 symbols is stopped at the upper or lower level of the left drum 2a and the red 7 small combination (FR1) is awarded. Is possible (second line in the figure). Even if the left stop button 10a is operated in the second stop and the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop, the red 7 small combination (FR1) always wins in the same manner, and the winning mode is the same as a result. Description is omitted.

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

  FIG. 36 (A) shows a state where all the drums of the drum section 2 are rotating, as in FIG. 34 (A). In this state, the player makes a first stop and presses the left stop button 10a. When the replay symbol of No. 7 is at the reference position and the stop operation is performed (the state where the No. 7 replay symbol can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the left drum 2a, see FIG. 36B), the main control unit 100 has an active line In the upper position of the left drum 2a passing through, No. 1 pentagonal (red) symbol is stopped (see FIG. 36C). As a result, the left drum 2a slides four frames and stops. The main control unit 100 can also stop the red 7 symbol (No. 2) of the red 7 small combination (FR1) simultaneously selected on the active line. Since it means first and the pressing order is wrong, the pentagon (red) symbol of the single small role (FR7) within the drawing frame number range is stopped on the active line. Also, no matter what timing the player stops the left drum 2a at the first stop, the pentagonal (red) symbol constituting the one small part (FR7) arranged at the farthest 6-frame interval, Any one of the pentagon (blue) symbol and the pentagon (white) symbol can be stopped at the upper or lower position. However, the main control unit 100 does not draw in the red 7 symbol because the number of symbol combinations is 3 (pentagon (red), square (blue), pentagon (red / blue / white). )) On the other hand, the number of symbol combinations when a red 7 small role symbol is drawn is 1, and in either case, the single small role (FR7) is more red than the red 7 small role. Because there are many. In other words, when the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, the symbols constituting the one-piece small combination (FR7) can be drawn on the active line and stopped. In addition, since this one-piece small role symbol also serves as the RB symbol, if the RB is elected internally, as a result, the symbol of both roles is drawn. In other words, the main control unit 100 does not match the stored control information (medium first) when the player operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop while all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. Therefore, the small symbol symbol is preferentially drawn on the active line and stopped. In the state of FIG. 36 (C), the red 7 symbol does not stop on the active line, so there is only one small combination that may win a prize. However, if the RB has won an internal winning (see FIG. 26C), a bonus combination (RB) may also be won.

  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 (C). In the state where the left drum 2a is stopped and the pentagonal (red) symbol is displayed in the upper stage, the player presses the right stop button 10c at the second stop. When the stop operation is performed, the main control unit 100, for example, No. No. 3 pentagonal (red) symbol is stopped at the lower stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 37B). The pentagon (red) symbol, pentagon (blue) symbol, or pentagon (white) symbol constituting the one small role (FR7) is arranged at an interval of 6 frames on the right drum 2c, and is in the drawing range. Any pentagonal (red / blue / white) symbol can be stopped at the upper or lower stage of the right drum 2c to make a tempered state. In addition, since the one small role symbol that has become a tempering state also serves as the RB symbol, if the RB was elected internally (see FIG. 26 (C)), the symbol of both roles was eventually drawn. Double tempering.

  In the one-game small role (FR7) tempering state shown in FIG. 37 (B), the player sets the middle stop button 10b to No. If the stop operation is performed when the 16 square (white) symbols are at the reference position, the main control unit 100 is set to No. 5 above 5 frames. Eleven square (blue) symbols are stopped at the middle position of the middle drum 2b, and the one-piece small combination (FR7) is won on the first line (see FIG. 37C). In addition, No. No. 16 square (white) design-No. When the middle stop button 10b is operated to stop when the square (blue) symbol of 11 is at the reference position, No. 11 is displayed. 10 or No. Eleven square (blue) symbols can be stopped on the first line to win a single small role (FR7). In other words, since it is only necessary to perform a stop operation within the range of 6 frames out of 21 frames, the winning probability is 3/7, but if it is operated at other timings, it will be lost. However, if the RB has won internally (see FIG. 26 (C)), the middle drum 2b will not be lost, but any of the pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), and pentagon (white) Withdrawing, RB will win. Even if the middle stop button 10b is operated at the second stop and the right stop button 10c is operated at the third stop, the single small role (FR7) is similarly won or lost, and the winning mode is the same as a result. Therefore, the description is omitted.

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

  In the game inside the RB shown in FIG. 26 (C), the RB flag is set. In the inside of the RB, for example, the red 7 small combination (FR1) and one piece shown in FIG. When the small role (FR11) is won at the same time, the FR1 flag and the FR11 flag are set. Therefore, as an internal state, as a result, the RB flag, the FR1 flag, and the FR11 flag are set (see FIGS. 26C and 27C).

  When the player operates the right stop button 10c at the first stop while all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating, the main control unit 100 stores the control information (the bell symbol is drawn at the first right stop). ) (The push order is “correct answer”), regardless of the order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation thereafter, only the red 7 small combination is always won by the stop control process. Pay out medals. That is, the main control unit 100 starts a variable display game that fluctuates three symbol sequences, and RB, red 7 small role (first target small role) and push order by a lottery of a combination (also referred to as “design lottery”). A single small role (9 types of symbol combinations), which is a specified small role, is simultaneously won internally. When the stop button portion 10 is operated in the order of pressing (right first) stored in correspondence with this one small combination, the bell symbol constituting the red seven small combination is stopped on the active line and the red seven small combination is Win a prize. Further, as will be described later, if the pressing order is correct, stop control is performed so that neither an RB that is won internally or a single winning combination will be awarded at the same time. In other words, the main control unit 100 matches the stored control information (right first) when the player operates the right stop button 10c at the first stop while all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. Therefore, the bell symbol constituting the red 7 small combination is preferentially drawn on the active line and stopped.

  FIG. 38A 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 bell symbol 4 is at the reference position (the state in which the bell symbol No. 4 can immediately stop at the lower position of the right drum 2c. See FIG. 38B), the main control unit 100 Pull-in control is performed so that only one bell symbol stops at any point. In this case, no. The bell symbol 21 is stopped at the lower position of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 38C). It is possible to stop the bell symbol at the upper or lower stage on the effective line by stopping the bite or by sliding two frames, but since it is a particularly powerful “slip red 7 small part”, as a result, the right drum 2c The player who has confirmed that will slide 4 frames and will expect to win the ART. Similarly, there is a strong role “one slide small role”. Note that the main control unit 100 can also stop the square (white) symbol of the single small role (FR11) that is simultaneously selected at the upper position on the active line, but the red 7 small with a large number of payouts. The bell symbols constituting the role are stopped on the active line. In this state, the red, blue, and white pentagon symbol (both symbols) that doubles as a single small symbol and RB symbol does not stop on the active line, so only the seven small red symbols may win. However, the main control unit 100 is configured to perform stop control so that the bonus combination symbol is prioritized and aligned when the bonus combination and the small combination can be drawn.

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

  FIG. 39 (A) is the same as FIG. 38 (C), and when the player stops the middle stop button 10b in the second stop when the right drum 2c is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed in the lower stage. The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. The bell symbol 8 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 39B). 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 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b regardless of the timing of the stop operation. It can be made into a tempered state.

  When the player performs a stop operation on the left stop button 10a in the third stop in the tempered state of FIG. 2 red 7 symbols are stopped at the upper stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 39C). Since the three red 7 symbols on the left drum 2a are arranged at intervals of 6 frames, it is possible to win any of the red 7 symbols by stopping at the upper or lower level of the left drum 2a ( The first line in the figure). When the top 7 stops red with the aim of the red 7 symbol, it becomes the strongest red 7 small role, and the AT lottery is performed with a high probability (for example, a winning rate of 50%). On the other hand, in the case of a weak red 7 small combination, it slides and the red 7 symbol stops at the lower position. Accordingly, if the pressing order is correct, the RB internal winning state is maintained, so that the player can play the game without losing.

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

  FIG. 40 (A) shows a state where all the drums of the drum section 2 are rotating, as in FIG. 38 (A). In this state, the player makes a first stop and presses the left stop button 10a. When the replay symbol of No. 7 is at the reference position and the stop operation is performed (the state where the No. 7 replay symbol can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the left drum 2a, see FIG. 40B), the main control unit 100 has an active line In the upper position of the left drum 2a passing through, No. 1 is stopped (see FIG. 40C). As a result, the left drum 2a slides four frames and stops. The main control unit 100 can also stop the red 7 symbol (No. 2) of the red 7 small combination (FR1) simultaneously selected on the active line, but the push order data is 3 and the right Since it means first and the pressing order is wrong, the pentagonal (red) symbol of the single small role (FR11) within the drawing frame number range is stopped on the active line. Further, no matter what timing the player stops the left drum 2a at the first stop, the pentagon (red) symbol, the pentagon (blue) that constitutes the one small role (FR11) arranged at intervals of 6 frames. ) Any one of the symbols or pentagonal (white) symbols can be stopped at the upper or lower position. However, the reason why the main control unit 100 does not draw in the red 7 symbol is that the number of symbol combinations is 3 (pentagon (red), pentagon (red / blue / white), square (white) )) On the other hand, the number of symbol combinations when the red 7 small role symbol is drawn is 1 (red 7 / bell / bell), and in either case, the single small role (FR11) is smaller in red 7 This is because there are more combinations of symbols than roles. That is, when the pushing order of the first stop is incorrect, any one of the symbols constituting the one-piece small combination (FR11) can be drawn on the active line and stopped. In addition, since this 1-piece small role symbol also serves as an RB symbol, if the RB is winning internally, the symbol of both roles is eventually drawn.

  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. 40 (C). In the state where the left drum 2a is stopped and the pentagonal (red) symbol is displayed in the upper stage, the player presses the middle stop button 10b in the second stop. For example, No. When the stop operation is performed when the pentagonal (red) symbol of No. 1 is at the reference position (the state in which the pentagonal (red) symbol of No. 1 can immediately stop at the lower position of the middle drum 2b, see FIG. 41B), the main control The part 100 is No. Seventeen pentagonal (white) symbols are stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 41C). The pentagon (red) symbol, pentagon (blue) symbol, or pentagon (white) symbol composing one small part (FR11) is arranged within the interval of 4 frames on the middle drum 2b, Any pentagonal (red / blue / white) symbol can be stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b to be in a tempered state. Note that the single small role symbol in the tempering state also serves as the RB symbol, and since the RB has won internally, the result is a double tempering state in which the symbols of both roles are drawn.

  FIG. 42 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 42 (A) is the same as FIG. 41 (C), the left drum 2a is stopped and the pentagon (red) symbol is displayed on the top, and the middle drum 2b is stopped and the pentagon (white) symbol is displayed on the middle. In this state, the player stops the right stop button 10c at the third stop, for example, No. When the replay symbol No. 5 is at the reference position and the stop operation is performed (the state where the No. 5 replay symbol can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the right drum 2c; see FIG. 42B), the main control unit 100 Twenty square (white) symbols are stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c, and a single small role (FR11) is awarded on the third line (see FIG. 42C). In addition, No. No. 5 replay symbol No. 5 When the right stop button 10c is stopped when the 20 square (white) symbols are at the reference position, No. 20 is displayed. Twenty square (white) symbols can be stopped on the first line or the third line, and one small combination (FR11) can be won. In other words, if a stop operation is performed within the range of 7 frames out of 21 frames, one small role (FR11) wins, so the winning probability is 1/3, but if it is operated at other timings, it will be described later. RB wins. Even if the right stop button 10c is operated at the second stop and the middle stop button 10b is operated at the third stop, similarly, one small role (FR7) wins or RB wins, and the winning mode is consequently changed. Since it becomes the same, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 43 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  FIG. 43 (A) is the same as FIG. 42 (A), the left drum 2a is stopped and the pentagon (red) symbol is displayed on the top, and the middle drum 2b is stopped and the pentagon (white) symbol is displayed on the middle. In this state, the player stops the right stop button 10c at the third stop, for example, No. When the stop operation is performed when the bell symbol of No. 7 is at the reference position (a state in which the bell symbol of No. 7 can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the right drum 2c), the main control unit 100 sets the No. 7 symbol. 3. Slide 3 pentagonal (red) symbols 4 frames to stop at the bottom of the right drum 2c, and win RB on the first line (see FIG. 43B). In the state shown in FIG. 43A, the player stops the third stop and presses the right stop button 10c. When the stop operation is performed when the red 7 symbol of 16 is at the reference position (the state in which the red 7 symbol of No. 16 can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the right drum 2c), the main control unit 100 sets the No. 16 symbol. 10 pentagonal (blue) symbols are slid by 4 frames and stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c, and RB is awarded on the third line (see FIG. 43C). In other words, if the operation order of the stop button portion 10 is wrong, one small role wins with a probability of 1/3 and maintains the RB internal winning state, while the RB wins with a probability of 2/3 and the RB game is played. When it starts and ends, it returns to the general game and enters a state of losing. In other words, if the RB wins an internal win, if the red 7 small role (FR1), the bell small role (FR2), and the 1 small size role (FR3 to FR11) win, Since the high-probability re-gaming state (RT state) is entered, the player can play in a state where the player does not become unfair (losing).

  FIG. 44 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 of step S170 in FIG. 22, the main control unit 100 executes random number lottery (role of symbols or symbol lottery) in accordance with the player's operation of the start lever 9 (start signal reception timing). After calling the subroutine, the symbol variation display game is started by rotating the drum unit 2.

  In step S200, the main control unit 100 outputs a notification signal (command, data, etc.), and displays the lottery result and internal state (bonus flag, normal replay state or RT state, number of digested games after bonus, etc.) as the sub-control unit 160. And the process proceeds to step S210 described later.

  When the sub-control unit 160 receives the notification signal, it is determined in step SS100 whether any of the composite small roles (see FIG. 25, FIG. 26B and FIG. 26C) is won by a command, data, or the like. If it has not been won, an effect corresponding to another winning combination is performed and the process ends. If it has been won, the process proceeds to step SS110.

  In step SS110, the sub-control unit 160 checks whether or not there is a remaining game number in the AT, and if there is no remaining game number, the process proceeds to step SS120, and if there is an AT stock, the process proceeds to step SS130.

  In step SS120, the sub-control unit 160 checks whether or not the AT stock is present and whether the condition for releasing (invoking the AT function) is satisfied. If not, the sub-control unit 160 ends. Migrate to

  In step SS130, the sub-control unit 160 activates the AT function, notifies the pressing order of the stop button operation corresponding to the composite winning combination, and finishes this process. Specifically, this AT function is used with male voices such as “left”, “middle”, “right”, and female voices “left”, “middle”, “right”. The video is displayed on the display effect device 11 as a video.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S210, the composite winning combination is the internal winning combination, and the main control unit 100 is stopped in the pressing order corresponding to the combined winning combination (ie, the pressing order is correct). If, in step S220, the target small combination is won and the process ends, the process proceeds to step S230 if the push order is incorrect. Although not shown in the figure, if the winning combination is not a composite small winning combination, a predetermined stop control is performed according to another internal winning combination, and the process ends.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S230, first, the main control unit 100 always stops one symbol constituting the bonus drawing small combination on the active line. When the process proceeds to step S240, if the subsequent stop operation timing is met, the main control unit 100 finishes by winning the bonus pull-in small part in step S250, and if the stop operation timing is not matched, the process proceeds to step S260. Transition.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S260, if the bonus is being won internally, a bonus combination is won in step S270. If the bonus is not being won internally, the drum unit 2 is lost in step S280. Stop and exit.

  FIG. 45 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. 45A shows a daytime stage screen, which is used in a state where the AT winning probability is low. FIG. 45 (B) is a night stage screen, which is mainly used in a state where the AT winning probability is high, and when this screen is displayed, the player is excited by the expectation of AT release. The sub-control unit 160 performs an AT lottery (AT bonus release lottery) and a high-precision lottery after a rare small role (for example, a middle tier cherry, strong watermelon, strong bell, etc.) is won. When winning in this high-precision lottery, while switching from the normal screen in the daytime to the night screen, every time a replay wins during AT high-precision, a falling lottery will be performed with a predetermined probability, so during normal games the normal screen of the daytime And the night screen are displayed alternately at a predetermined frequency. In general, these display screens change the time, weather, etc. depending on the stay mode such as low probability state, high probability state, RB internal winning, etc. in order to suggest the correct mode to the player. The player's expectation can be further enhanced by appropriately performing the production (fake production). In addition, normal announcement effects corresponding to various winning combinations are executed.

  FIG. 45 (C) is 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 thundering in accordance with the operation timing of the stop button unit 10 in order to notify the player of that fact. In addition, when the AT is won at the time of displaying the day stage, the light is changed suddenly from the day stage screen to the night stage screen, and at least two lightning continuous effects are performed to suggest a sign of AT emission. Then, when the lightning effect is performed three times continuously from the day stage screen and the brightness is dropped three times in accordance with the operation timing of the stop button unit 10, the AT release confirmation (AT bonus confirmation) is notified. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's expectation by appropriately generating thunder and shininess.

  As a precursor of other AT releases, the night screen is used along with a sound effect of “Gorologo Dockern”. In particular, during the warning effect at the time of the general game shown in FIG. 26, when “RB + Bell small part + 1 sheet small part” is elected internally, the stop button unit 10 may be temporarily stopped together with the intense AT effect of AT activation. After making it impossible to freeze, a notification is made of the pressing order for winning the bell small role. As a result, it is possible to lead to a bonus internal winning state. In addition, if the “Red 7 small combination and 1 small combination” shown in FIG. 26 is internally won during the sign of the AT bonus release, the pressing order for winning the Red 7 small combination is notified.

  The AT lottery described above is also called a navigation lottery (abbreviated name of “navigation lottery”), and when the AT function is activated, the sub-control unit 160 stops in order to win a push order small portion (target small portion). 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, after a red 7-match special replay with a very low winning probability (red 7 replay role that appears to have red 7 symbols aligned on the upper horizontal line, middle horizontal line, or lower horizontal line, which are invalid lines) In the RT state (high probability re-playing state), if you release all AT stock for one set of 50 games and perform an AT lottery during the ART, the ART will continue indefinitely without reducing the possession by the RT. A lump of ball can be created.

  FIG. 46 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

  When the sub-control unit 160 announces the AT win, the sub-control unit 160 displays the night stage screen again (see FIG. 46A) in the next variable display game in which the final effect shown in FIG. In response to the operation of the unit 10, two bats with a plate approach from a distance, and gradually display “BONUS” characters so that they can be recognized (see FIG. 46 (B)), and finally fly away. Perform bat announcement production.

  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 a very hot premiere effect for a player by making the hero character appear from the grave hole in the center of the raised screen (see FIG. 46C).

  47 to 48 are schematic diagrams of effect screens displayed by the display effect device.

  As described above, when the first game is started by the player's operation after informing the AT bonus winning, the sub-control unit 160 displays the number of remaining games and the number of acquired games on the upper right of the display effect device 11, A preparation state screen before the ART is activated is displayed (see FIG. 47A).

  The sub-control unit 160 starts the first game in preparation for the ART, and at that time, when the combined small combination (red 7 small combination + 1 small combination) is won internally, the sub small portion 160 will win the red 7 small combination that is the target small combination. The order of pressing the stop button portion 10 necessary for this is displayed with the numeral 1. In this case, the number 1 signifying the first stop operation is displayed in a large circle and pronounced “Naka” with Dracula or the hero's voice (see FIG. 47B). Red 7 small combination wins only by correctly answering the first stop operation, but if the stop operation is incorrect, one small combination (bonus pull-in small combination) wins or loses.

  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 and makes it a small circle (see FIG. 47C).

  When the player operates the right stop button 10c at the second stop and the left stop button 10a at the third stop in the state of FIG. 47 (C), the sub-control unit 160 changes the character “ANY” in the right circle to “OK”. (See FIG. 48A), and then the character “ANY” in the left circle is changed to “OK”. Eventually, since the red 7 small combination wins, “15 GET” and the number of acquired coins are changed to “15” (see FIG. 48B). For example, if the first stop operation is mistaken and the left stop button 10a of incorrect answer is operated, the information “ANY” in the left circle is changed to “×” and information necessary for winning one small combination Is notified. In this case, “blue”, which means the square (blue) of the middle drum 2b to be aimed at, is enlarged and displayed (see FIG. 48C). If the middle stop button 10b is operated at the correct timing, a square (blue) symbol is drawn and one small role wins. Therefore, if the bonus is inside, it is possible to avoid winning the bonus combination. This is an innovative original technology with inventive step.

  FIG. 49 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

  In the state of FIG. 48B, when the next game is started by the player's MAX betting operation, the acquired number is changed to “12”. At that time, if “RB + Bell small combination + 1 sheet small combination” is elected internally, the push order of the stop button portion 10 necessary for winning the bell small combination which is the target small combination is displayed by the numeral 1. In this case, the number 1 signifying the first stop operation is displayed in the large right circle and pronounced “Migi” in the voice of Dracula or the main character (see FIG. 49A).

  When the player correctly operates the right stop button 10c, the sub-control unit 160 changes the large circle character on the right side to OK to make a small circle (see FIG. 49B).

  When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the second stop and the middle stop button 10b at the third stop in the state of FIG. 49B, the sub-control unit 160 changes the character “ANY” in the left circle to “OK”. Next, the character “ANY” in the middle circle is changed to “OK”. Eventually, the small bell combination wins, and the bonus combination is in the RT state in the internal winning state (high probability re-playing state, see FIGS. 26A and 26C). The sub-control unit 160 changes the screen display of the display effect device 11 to “2GET / ART start”, the remaining game number “50”, and the acquired number to “14” (see FIG. 49C). On the other hand, for example, if the first stop operation is mistaken and the middle stop button 10b is incorrect, the character “ANY” in the center circle is changed to “×” and is necessary for winning one small part. Information is reported. In this case, “white”, which means the square (white) of the right drum 2c to be aimed at, is enlarged and displayed (although not shown, the same as in FIG. 48C). If the right stop button 10c is operated at the correct timing, a square (white) symbol is drawn and one small winning combination wins, and a bonus winning combination can be avoided, so that the bonus internal medium state can be maintained. This is an innovative original technology with inventive step.

  When the ART is started, (1) “RB + Bell small part + 1 sheet small part” or (2) “RB + Red 7 small part + 1 sheet small part” shown in FIG. Informs the operation order for winning the bell small role or the red 7 small role, so that the player can continue playing the game while maintaining the RT state and can acquire a large number of medals. (3) When “RB + Replay” is won internally, any one of a plurality of types of replays always wins, so there is no need to insert medals in the next game. It is also possible to change the replay combination to be won according to the order of pressing. For example, when a red 7 replay for production (replay that looks like red 7 is aligned sideways) is won, a fall replay is avoided. In some cases, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the pressing order such as reverse pressing and avoidance procedures.
