Description

  The present invention provides a pachislot that uses medals and coins as a game medium, a pachilot that uses a pachinko ball as a game medium, and a substitute coin (a game value, Or a gaming machine such as a slot machine (turning-type gaming machine) for playing a game according to a game value.

  Further, the present invention provides a program (for example, game software) in which control steps or control procedures for realizing the game method are recorded on an information storage medium such as a semiconductor memory, a memory stick, an HD (hard disk), and a Blu-ray disk. ) Itself.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, games using a spinning-type gaming machine called a pachislot machine have been actively performed in conventional pachinko halls and pachislot-only halls. There is also a spinning-type gaming machine called a pachinko-lot (or parrot) that performs the above-mentioned spinning-type game using a pachinko ball used in a pachinko machine (ball-and-ball game machine) as a game medium. In video game machines such as amusement facilities, and in personal computers and game machines of ordinary households via the Internet, a token-type game (ie, "game media") is used by using a substitute coin called a Token coin. Is being conducted in a simulation game. In the near future, it is planned that a spinning-type gaming machine will not use medals and coins, but will record game values such as electronic data and tokens equivalent to those on an IC card and use them for gaming. I have.

  For example, in a normal game of the above-mentioned spinning-type gaming 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 wins, or replays are performed at that timing. An internal lottery (or also referred to as "internal lottery") of the role (re-game) is executed, and a plurality of spinning drums (in most cases, three or four reel drums) are rotated from top to bottom to obtain a spin. A variable display game for changing a plurality of symbols displayed (drawn) on the torso (normally, the plurality of symbols is drawn on a reel tape and affixed on each drum) is started, The player operates the stop button corresponding to each drum, and when a symbol such as a bell, a watermelon, a cherry, etc. of an internally won small piece is stopped and displayed on the activated line in a predetermined combination, a prize is won. 1 When a replay symbol is displayed on the activated line and replay (re-game) is activated, the game medal is paid out, but no game medal is inserted (or the number inserted in the previous game is directly inserted). T), the game is re-played so that the next normal game can be performed.

  In particular, a bonus combination (one or two special combination continuous actuation devices) is internally won according to a result of an internal lottery of a normal game, and a specific symbol (for example, a red 7 symbol or a blue 7 symbol) is generated by a reel drum stop operation. When the game is stopped and displayed on the activated line, the player enters a big bonus game mode (BB game mode: character continuous operation device), which is the most advantageous game mode for the player, and a large number of game medals are obtained at a stretch. it can. In addition, when a regular bonus (a kind of special accessory) is won and a bar symbol is arranged on the activated line as a specific symbol, a regular bonus game (RB game) is executed, which is not as good as the BB game, In this case, it is the player's greatest concern in the torso game to establish these bonus games. When a bonus game is won or released as a result of the execution of the internal lottery, a bonus flag is set up in a data storage area such as a RAM or RWM to store the bonus game in a predetermined specific symbol (7 symbols or bar). Until the symbols are collected, the flag is carried over to the subsequent variable display game.

  By the way, the conventional spinning-type amusement machine (Unit 4) has relatively high gambling characteristics, and in order to suppress the gambling, the Law on Regulations on Customs Sales and Other Businesses and the Correction of Business (Last Revised: May 1990) Law No. 55 of the Thirty-Sixth Day) was enforced and applied to the latest spinning-type amusement machines called No. 5.

  For example, in the No. 5 spinning-type gaming machine, the payout rate (short term, middle term, long term) is very finely regulated by rules, and in a big bonus game (BB game), the number of acquired game medals and the like is The process ends when a predetermined number of cards (for example, 360 or 480) is exceeded. In the regular bonus game, the game ends when about 100 or more dozens of cards have been obtained, although the game does not reach the BB game. That is, due to the rule amendment, the upper limit of the number of payouts in one bonus game and the increasing speed of medals per game are limited to a low value.

  In addition, the bonus stock function for continuously releasing bonuses (consecutive chan), which can be said to be the biggest feature of the conventional spinning-type gaming machine (No. 4), was prohibited by the same rule, and as a result, the conventional slot machine The ingenuity and performance imparted to the machine itself are lost, and of course the playability and gambling are extremely reduced, and the players (slotters) who have been good customers are moving away from customers.

  However, even in such a strict regulation situation, the regulation has been somewhat deregulated, and as a result, a new device has been devised. As a result, an ART function (assist replay time function) called a third bonus or A slot machine equipped with an AT function (assist time function) has been developed. The ART function and the like include a symbol stop operation procedure (operating sequence of stop switch, bonus, and the like) for winning a small winning combination internally by a lottery in a high-probability replay state in which replay is easy to be won (that is, a state in which loss is difficult). It is a function that notifies (operation timing for aiming at the color of the symbol) by liquid crystal display or voice and assists (operates) the button operation. At present, the ART machine is the mainstream of the fifth slot machine.

  In recent years, in particular, instead of increasing the number of wins by the above-mentioned big bonus or regular bonus by the main control, the sub-control is used to set a desired timing (the timing of winning in the AT lottery by the rare small role, the number of digested games is the number of ceiling games) ), An ART (pseudo bonus, a third bonus) is activated, and the push order is notified, whereby the small push order wins with a high probability, and a wave of payouts is created. Further progressing, the high probability replaying state is maintained by internally winning two kinds of big bonuses (two kinds of BBs) that do not increase or decrease the medal even if the prize is won. Many models that control balls have also been a hit, and a number of game machines with various game characteristics are appearing one after another.

  By the way, as an original technology of ART newly developed by the applicant (Japanese Patent No. 4428725), when a single symbol small part is internally won and the operation procedure of the stop button is correct, a predetermined symbol (for example, a bell symbol or a cherry symbol) is formed. There is a method of winning on a line while stopping on a small number of lines due to incorrect answers. Then, when the AT (assist function) is won, the operation procedure of the correct answer is notified to the player, and a large difference is made in the number of obtained medals. Furthermore, during RT (high-probability replaying state), a large number of medals can be obtained without reducing the number of medals on hand, thereby making it possible to create waves of balls to improve gambling.

  In addition, as an original technology developed by the applicant, during a freeze effect after a start operation, there is an effect in which a replaying player is pseudo-continuously won by a stop button operation and an inserted number LED is turned on (patented). No. 5,045,860, Japanese Patent No. 5077902, Japanese Patent No. 5131669, Japanese Patent No. 5167476).

  However, with the former ART function alone, the net increase in the number of games per game is about 2.5 at the maximum, and in order to obtain the standard number of medals of 10,000 medals, at least about 5 hours continuous 4000 hours. You have to play the game.

  In the latter freeze production technology, the player illusions that the game is an original game and does not notice that it is merely a production.

  An object of the present invention is, first, to provide a gaming machine or the like that allows a player to easily recognize that a freeze effect has been produced. Another object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine or the like that can give a player excitement and excitement.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine or the like in which a player does not forget to return an inserted medal and does not miss a prize of a re-game player (particularly, a bell replay) when a credit is settled by a player. . It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine or the like in which a player does not feel uncomfortable in a winning combination display mode and an operating method of a small combination or a replay combination in a normal game and an AT game. The present invention is equipped with a conventional bonus role such as BB and RB, and an ART function or an AT function as a third bonus, and can further increase the net increase in number of games per game. It is to provide a gaming machine or the like that can be increased at a stretch. The present invention provides a gaming machine or the like capable of avoiding improper winning of a pushing role (a pushing order small role or a pushing order replaying role) even if a sub-control unit that controls display of a navigation image is falsified. Is to do.

In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 starts a symbol display game in which a plurality of types of symbols are rotated on a plurality of reels provided on the outer periphery, and a game corresponding to each reel is started. When the stop switch provided is operated in the operation sequence according to the pressing order determined by the lottery of the winning combination, the corresponding reel is stopped, and the symbol derived when all the reels are stopped is stopped. In a gaming machine in which a prize is generated according to a display result, the symbol display game includes a base game and a specific game which is more advantageous than the base game by being notified of the operation order . the specific game state, said at least is executed by the determination gaming state of transition from a particular gaming state, a winning combination determination means for determining a winning combination by drawing, in a particular game of the specific game state, role of the combination determining means has determined Item determining means for determining a first item or a second item, display means for individually displaying the first item and the second item, first updating means for updating a first point, a second updating means for updating the point, in the particular game, the judgment from the gaming state to the specific game state, or the determination game state transition from the gaming state is shifted to the quantity determination gaming state for determining the number of plus game Means , wherein in the specific game in the specific game state, the number of assist games and the predetermined number of games that are decremented by one when one game is consumed are determined, and one game is played every time one game is consumed. When the remaining game number to be reduced reaches zero, the game is shifted to the judgment game state, while the remaining game number does not reach zero and the remaining game number is reduced. Strike game number becomes zero, as triggered by the termination condition is satisfied, the back is usually migrate to the game,
The first updating means increases an initial point as the first point based on the first item, and, during the specific game in the determination game state, based on a defending role of a lottery result of a role, Updating one point, the gaming state shifting means shifts to the specific gaming state in the determination gaming state when the first point satisfies a defeat condition,
The second updating means updates the second point based on the attacking result of the lottery result of the winning combination and the second item during the specific game in the determination gaming state, and the remaining first point is a predetermined point. In the following case, if there is at least one second item, in the next specific game, even if the lottery result of the role is a defending role, the second item is added to update the second point. By the time the second point satisfies the victory condition, the game state shifting means shifts to the quantity determination game state by the time the specific game in the determination game state ends, and performs an additional process. The determined number of additional assist games is added to the number of remaining assist games to shift to the specific game state.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, firstly, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that gives the player a very high level of excitement and excitement.

  Second, when a player has paid out a credit, if a replaying player has won a prize, a warning is notified so that the player does not miss a prize for a replaying game. According to the gaming machine of the present invention, in the RT state in which the bonus combination is internally won, the target small combination with a large number of payouts can be frequently won without losing. It is possible to increase the net increase per game. Note that the same effect can be obtained even if the loss is reduced as much as possible. In addition, the number of activations of the assist function can be increased at a stretch.

Definition:
In the present specification, the fact that a combination of symbols related to a replay is displayed on a winning line is referred to as “winning a replay” for convenience. However, the original "winning" means that a predetermined combination is displayed as a combination necessary for obtaining a game medal or the like for the symbol.

  The pushing sequence is a role in which the winning purpose role and the obstructing role are simultaneously won, and the obstructing role is composed of one or more types. The prize-winning role wins when the stop button is operated in the prize-press order informed by the notification means, while when the stop button is operated in a different operation order from the prize-press order, the obstructing role wins or does not win. Does not win. That is, the inhibiting role is a role for inhibiting the winning of the winning purpose role. For example, in the case of the pushing order bell role, three types of bell small role (15-piece dividend) of the winning purpose role, one small role of the first inhibition minor role (one-piece dividend), and two small role of the second inhibition minor role When five of the roles are simultaneously won internally and the stop button is operated in the order of the winning press, the bell symbol is stopped by stopping the bell symbol on the activated line. On the other hand, if the first stop operation is not in the winning order, the symbol of the first obstruction small combination is stopped on the activated line, and thereafter, any one of the first obstruction small combinations wins or does not win (misses). Become. If the first stop operation is in the prize-winning order and the second stop operation is not in the prize-winning order, the symbol of the second inhibition small combination is stopped on the activated line, and thereafter, the second inhibition small combination wins. In addition, the payout of the second inhibition small combination may be one, or may be omitted. Another pushing sequence is a pushing sequence replay role.

Basic example:
As an example of a gaming machine or the like according to the present invention, a spinning-type gaming machine will be described. In this embodiment, the basic configuration and basic operation of the spinning-type gaming machine will be described in detail.

  1 is a schematic front view of a spinning-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 main body of a spinning-type gaming machine generally called a "pachi-slot machine", which is roughly classified into a housing 1a containing a rotating drum (drum unit 2) and a front door 1b (in particular, see FIG. 2). .

  The front door 1b is a main part that can be called the face of a spinning-type gaming machine, and is required to have a unique metallic feeling in order to create a sense of quality and to have a design property. By adding gold plating, metallizing (plating), satin tone (plating), etc. to the resin material, a gorgeous and solid feeling is given to the appearance.

  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 includes an upper surface portion 22a to which a display effect device 11 (or a video display device) that performs various effects according to a game situation is screwed and fixed, and a middle surface portion on which a window 3 (symbol display window) is formed. 22b and a lower surface 22c to which the light emitting display device (display LED block 4) is attached form a bottom surface 22d bent inward of the housing 1a, and a left side surface 22e and a right side surface 22f connecting the left and right of the bottom surface 22d. This forms a substantially box-like shape to form a recessed space (particularly, see FIG. 3).

  On the bottom portion 22d, a three-dimensionally protruding ornament 23 or a three-dimensional electrically driven object 24 driven in accordance with the progress of the game (for example, in order to increase the sense of expectation, it is related to an internal winning combination) There are motorized toys, openable doors, up / down moving bumpers, swinging boats, etc. used for the production, but there is also a case where the production has nothing to do with the internal winning combination.)

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

  Reference numeral 2 denotes a drum unit (reel drum) built in the housing 1a, which is composed of three drums, a left drum 2a, a middle drum 2b, and a right drum 2c. Inside each of the drums, there is provided a rotating body part design display LED (not shown), which emits light (lights or blinks) or turns off according to various effects. That is, each drum is a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are displayed in a row from top to bottom, and in this case, a variable display game in which three symbol rows (a plurality of rows) are varied is started. Note that displaying symbols using a liquid crystal display device or the like instead of each drum also 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 at the center of the front of the design panel 22, and a symbol on a reel tape attached (arranged or applied) to the outer periphery of the drum unit 2 can be seen through the transparent panel 21. It has become. The window portion 3 has a total of five effective lines, that is, three effective lines extending in the horizontal direction and two effective lines obliquely intersecting the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2b and the right drum 2b. The line connecting the drums 2c is prominently displayed. However, the effective line is not limited to the horizontal direction or the oblique direction, and is not limited to this number, but is determined as appropriate at the design stage, such as a V-shape or a small mountain shape. In addition, a turn body line display LED is embedded below the effective line, and is turned on or blinked at the time of winning or operation.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes a display LED block provided below the window 3 and on the lower surface of the design panel 22. As will be described later, the number of inserted LEDs 4a, the number of stored medals 4b, the number of paid medals 4c, and the replay display LED 4d. , An error display LED 4e and an effect display LED 4f.

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a medal insertion part, which is a game medal for starting a variable display game for rotating and stopping the drum unit 2 (rotary drum) (a game medium, which may be referred to as a "coin" or simply "medal"). There is a medal insertion slot for inserting. 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 formed by light from a plurality of light sources (for example, LEDs) attached to the lower left and right. Red (first color) when it is impossible to insert, blue (second color) when one medal is available and added and displayed for gaming, and green when added and displayed on the medal storage device (Third color). However, if medals cannot be inserted, the lights may be turned off. In the game software, the game medium is data (for example, the number of inserted medals, credit numerical data, or tokens) that indicates a game medal or a game coin, and an actual game medal or game coin is inserted from the medal insertion unit 5. It is not done.

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

  Reference numeral 6 denotes a settlement button (or a credit return switch), which is used to activate and release a medal storage device (not shown), and to pay out (return) the inserted medals and the stored medals. In particular, as described later, the game value is settled or returned by outputting the total value (game value) of the inserted medals and the stored medals to a sand device connected to the game machine main body. For example, assuming that the number of inserted medals is 3 and the number of stored medals is 40 (total of 43 credits). When the settlement button is operated in this state, the gaming machine main body 1 transmits game value data, A total of 43 game values will be returned. When the game device receives game value data corresponding to a total of 43 cards from the game machine main body, the game device records the game value information on a built-in membership card or a card-shaped information recording medium and discharges the game value information out of the sand device. Naturally, if 100 stored medals are recorded on the member card, 143 new stored medals are recorded.

  Reference numeral 7 denotes a 1-bet button, which is used when one medal is stored in the medal storing device for playing a game. Recently, there is a case where the 1-bet button 7 is not provided. On the left side of the 1-bet button 7, a cursor key (not shown) necessary for operating the cursor in up / down / left / right directions and viewing history information may be provided.

  Reference numeral 8 denotes a max bet button, which is used when a maximum number of stored medals of the medal storing device of three to be inserted for playing a game or a maximum number of inserted medals (one coin) specified according to a game state such as a bonus game. Or 2 sheets: optimal number). Note that an LED is provided inside the max bet button 3, and is turned on when the max bet button 3 is operable.

  Reference numeral 9 denotes a start lever (a part of the rotating body rotation starter), which is used when the drum unit 2 is started all at once after a predetermined number of game medals necessary for playing a game are inserted. An LED is provided around the start lever 9, and is lit when the start operation is possible. When setting the payout rate in steps, the start lever 9 selects a desired set value selected from step values 1 to 6 (or four step jump numbers of 1, 3, 5, and 7). Use this when confirming (when retyping).

  Reference numeral 10 denotes a stop button unit (also referred to as a “stop switch” as a synonymous name), which is used to stop the rotating drum unit 2. The stop button unit 10 includes a group of three buttons (a rare case of four buttons) including a left stop button 10a, a middle stop button 10b, and a right stop button 10c, and stops while the drum unit 2 is rotating. By operating the button unit 10, the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the 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 rotations / minute) and the stop button portion becomes operable, the stop button 10a, the stop button The LED built in 10b and the stop button 10c is turned on. When the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, and the right stop button 10c are used as direction input means, they can correspond to leftward, upward, and rightward inputs, respectively.

  Reference numeral 11 denotes a display effect device including an FPD (flat panel display) such as a color display using a CRT, an LCD (liquid crystal display), a PDP (plasma display panel), or an organic EL (electroluminescence). Under the control of the effect control unit (not shown), various video effects relating to the torso game, notification of necessary information, and the like can be performed. Regardless of whether special glasses are used or not, recently, display effect devices capable of stereoscopic display have been manufactured at a low cost, and a 3D display device in which effect images such as seven patterns pop out in a reach state or a big hit state. Gaming machines that use the game are becoming mainstream. The effect control unit includes a ROM and a RAM, performs bidirectional communication with the sub-control unit 160, and executes various effects according to the received effect command.

  Reference numeral 12 denotes a speaker unit, which is composed of four speakers, an upper left speaker 12a, an upper right speaker 12b, a lower left speaker 12c, and a lower right speaker 12d, while changing a sound effect or a step set value according to various effects, or a front door. A warning sound is generated when 1b is open or when a trouble occurs. When a serious trouble (a selector error, a hopper error or a RAM error, but not including a door open) occurs, the error display LED 4e is lit along with a warning sound.

  The design panel 22 shown in FIG. 3B differs from that of FIG. 3A in that an uppermost surface portion 22i is further provided as a bent surface (edge). Providing the uppermost surface portion 22i is advantageous in that the attached display effect device 11 can be easily seen by a player and that the design panel itself is further strengthened.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a spinning-type gaming machine.

  In the center of the housing 1a of the spinning-type gaming machine main body 1, a drum portion 2 and a medal payout device 18 (medal hopper 18) are arranged below the drum portion 2.

  A reflection plate 27 is provided at an upper right portion of the housing 1a, and a photo sensor is provided at a position corresponding to the front door 1b. When the front door 1b is closed, LED light emitted from the photo sensor is reflected. While being reflected by the plate and detected by the phototransistor, in the open state, no reflected light is detected, 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 after an initial check and an initial setting, a variable display game can be played.

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

  Reference numeral 28b denotes an error release switch, which is used when setting the payout rate stepwise or when canceling the stoppage of the game due to an error.

  Reference numeral 4c denotes a medal payout number display LED, which displays a step setting value of the payout rate. Each time the error release switch 28b is pressed, the value is incremented by one, and after "6" is displayed, "1" is displayed. Return, turnaround display.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a control circuit system of the spinning-type gaming machine.

  The control circuit system is roughly divided into a main block (main board: a portion not surrounded by a broken line) and a sub block (sub-board: a portion surrounded by a broken line), whereas the main block controls the game result. The sub-block controls various effects that attract the player's interest, such as notifying and displaying the progress of the game and the result of the internal drawing. When the ART is activated, the sub-block notifies a stop operation procedure (operation sequence and operation timing of the stop button unit 10) for avoiding a small winning or falling replay.

  Reference numeral 100 denotes a main control unit, which is an integrated one-chip microcomputer (LE4380A-PA-S manufactured by ELTEC) equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU, and controls a predetermined data table area and the entire apparatus. And a RAM 102 (RWM: also referred to as a rewritable memory, which is formed with a counter and a register, etc., and temporarily stores information necessary for control. )). As will be described later, even if the power switch 28c is turned off or the power cord is unplugged, all the control data stored in the RAM 102 is retained by the RAM backup power supply that is always supplied via the power connector. However, if the power connector itself is unplugged, no power is supplied, so the control data is erased (all cleared or reset to 0) or meaningless information.

  The main controller 100 includes a start SW sensor 110 (start switch sensor 110), a stop button sensor 120, a medal detection sensor 130, a bet button sensor 140 via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus. , The stage setting unit 150, the stop setting unit 180, and the settlement button sensor are connected, and the main control unit 100 is configured to be able to receive input signals therefrom.

  Further, the drum unit 2, the medal payout device 18, the display LED block 4, and the external centralized terminal board 170 are connected to the main control unit 100 via an I / 0 port (not shown) and a data bus. The main control unit 100 is configured to be able to control these devices by transmitting and receiving input / output signals. From each index sensor provided in the drum unit 2, an index signal of one pulse per rotation is input to the main control unit 100.

  The main control unit 100 outputs, from the external centralized terminal board 170, information necessary for counting and managing the operation status of the gaming machine in a pachislot store or the like, but does not receive any information from the external centralized terminal board 170. . The signals that the main control unit 100 outputs to the outside include a medal insertion signal, a medal payout signal, an external output signal 1 (for example, a BB signal or a pseudo BB signal), an external output signal 2 (for example, an RB signal or a pseudo RB signal), An external output signal 3 (for example, an AT signal), an external output signal 4 (for example, a signal indicating that various errors have occurred), an external output signal 5 (for example, a goto action detection signal), and a relay common signal. In particular, the BB signal and the RB signal are not only collected and managed by the hall computer as a bonus role, and the AT signal is a special role as an assist bonus role (called “third bonus role”), but also a pachislot machine. The data is also output to a data counter installed near the upper part, and is used to display the main information of the pachislot game (the number of games, the number of BBs, the number of ARTs, and the number of payouts) to the player.

  The main control unit 100 extracts one of the random numbers (values from 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, thereby obtaining the internal A lottery is executed, and the drum unit 2 (the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c), which is a symbol row of three rows (a plurality of rows) in which a plurality of (usually, 20 or 21) symbols are drawn. The symbol variation display game is started by rotating. For example, when any of the small winning combinations such as bell, cherry, watermelon, and plum is internally won in the random number lottery and the player performs the stop operation of the stop button unit 10, the main control unit 100 performs the operation in accordance with 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 activated lines of the window 3, a winning is achieved. However, the number of activated lines is not limited to five, and may be changed according to the number of inserted medals, or may be appropriately increased or decreased according to design specifications or a game state.

  For example, assuming that the number of game media payouts specified according to the type of winning is one bell, two cherries, five watermelons, and eight plums, only the bell symbols are displayed side by side on the second line. Then, the main control unit 100 pays out one copy as a bell prize. If the prescribed number of throws is three, even if the bell wins, the deduction will be minus two, so in a state where the bonus role and the small role are simultaneously internally won, priority is given to the small role symbol being internally won Even when stopping on the activated 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 one bell for the prize and eight plums in total, and pays out nine cards. The payout is six plus.

  The sub-control unit 160 and the credit control unit 165 are connected to the main control unit 100 via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus. Basically, various information can be transmitted from the main control unit 100 to both control units. Conversely, the main control unit 100 cannot receive information from both control units (that is, one-way communication from the main control unit 100 to both control units). Can be connected). However, it is possible to receive only 2-bit credit data from the credit control unit 165 via the data input circuit 166 (for example, two NOT circuits). The credit data is a 2-bit data of 00 indicating that the credit is 0, 01 indicating 1 credit, 10 indicating 2 credits, and 11 indicating 3 or more credits. It is input to two input ports as a High or Low signal.

  The main control unit 100 provides the sub control unit 160 with control data (for example, coin insertion data, lottery results and winning status data, stage setting value data, stage setting value data, and switch operation state of the stage setting unit 150 necessary for various control of the sub block. Output to the sub-control unit 160. Like the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 is an integrated one-chip microcomputer equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU. The sub-control unit 160 includes a ROM 161 storing a control program describing a control procedure of the entire sub-block, A RAM 162 and the like, which are formed with a counter, a timer, a register, and the like, and temporarily store information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100, are provided. The ROM 161 stores a plurality of BGM (background music) data. In particular, during a bonus game, in order to enhance the player's feelings, a specially arranged BGM is prepared according to the production scene. Selected and played as appropriate. Note that the main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 do not need to be provided separately, and may be one control unit.

  The sub-control unit 160 includes a display effect device 11, a speaker unit 12, a game state display LED unit 13, an input SW unit 25 (input switch unit 25), via an I / 0 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 is based on the number-of-inserted data, the number-of-paid-out data, and the number-of-variable-display-games data in the control data transmitted from the main control unit 100, and performs the difference display game after initialization and the variable display game completed after the bonus. The number of times is counted, and when the counted difference number or the 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 causes the display effect device 11 to display “Do you want to start the selected game? If so, hit the special button repeatedly.” And flash the special button 14.

  In this AT stock lottery, for example, the number of stocks is selected in the range of 0 to 127, and 0 is a loss, while 1 to 127 is a winning. If 127 is won, at least 127 consecutive chans will be determined. However, since the AT stock lottery is executed even in the state where the AT is stocked, it is further added and added, and it is possible to store 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 repeatedly hits the special button, receives a pulse signal corresponding to the number of times of continuous hitting, and the number of pulses is equal to or more than a predetermined number of eight or more. Is reached, a number (for example, “0” or “1”) is determined as a winning in the selected game lottery. Then, when the selection game is activated, “○ or ×”, “left or right”, etc. are displayed on the display effect device 11 in association with the left stop button 10a and the right stop button 10c, respectively, and the selection operation is performed by 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 “○” or “left”, the selected game is won. When the sub control unit 160 determines that the winning has been achieved, in the subsequent variable display game, the number of game media in accordance with the inserted number, the difference number, or the number of times of the variable display game increases, or the AT stock lottery (1 to 127). The AT function (a function of notifying auxiliary information by the notifying means) is activated by the number of times of winning.

  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. Then, if the sub control unit 160 determines that the game has been lost, it 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 hungry state, if he wins in the selection game, he or she can recover more than he or she lost, or play Dalian, and can expect a one-shot reversal. In the above description, the winning is doubled as two choices. However, for example, in the case of five choices, it is possible to return five times when winning, and if the player can select the magnification, further preference is given. Increase.

  When the main control unit 100 internally executes the random number lottery in response to the start operation of the start lever 9 and receives the result notification of the jackpot, the replay, the small role, or the loss, the sub control unit 160 gives the lottery result to the player. Before the notification is made, an effect lottery is performed to determine whether or not to effect the 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 wins the effect lottery, it 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 determines that the AT stock exists and the push order small combination (the first small combination and a plurality of part of the plurality of push sequence specified small combinations) is internally won. The display effect device 11 displays assist information (auxiliary information) for aligning the winning first small winning symbol (for example, a bell symbol) on the activated line. This allows the player to easily win the first small role.

  Here, returning to FIG. 5, the credit control unit 165 is connected to the sand device 300 and, when set to a sand mode described later, is frequency information or a recording medium corresponding to cash inserted by the player. Receiving credit information such as a membership card, a visitor card, a cash card or a prepaid card, and displaying frequency information or credit information. When the player operates the lend button 167, 50 for 1000 yen is added and displayed on the stored credit display section. For example, if the stored credit display unit is displaying 1, 50 is added to 1 and 51 is displayed, but only up to 99 is displayed. Further, the credit control unit 165 changes the state in which the data 01 is input to the data input circuit 166 to the state in which the data 11 indicating the number of credits 3 or more is input. When the max bet button 8 is operated in this state, the main control unit 100 illuminates the three insertion number LEDs 4a and outputs insertion data indicating that only three credits have been inserted as a bet amount to the credit control unit 165. . The credit control unit 165 causes the stored credit display unit to display 48, which is a value obtained by subtracting credit 3. In this state, when the player operates the settlement button 190 (credit return switch), the main control unit 100 transmits the bet amount data indicating the bet amount of 3. Upon receiving this bet amount data, the credit control unit 165 transmits return credit information (game value) indicating that the return credit is 51 (48 + 3) to the sand device 300. The sand device 300 adds the return credit 51 to the member card or the like, records the cash balance, and discharges the cash balance. When the player operates the settlement button in a state where the replay combination (replay combination) has won and the next one game can be executed, the main control unit 100 transmits bet amount data indicating 0 of the bet amount. The credit control unit 165 transmits return credit information (game value) indicating that the return credit is 48 to the sand device 300. The sand device 300 adds 48 of the return credit to the member card or the like, records the cash balance, and discharges it outside. The main control unit 100 outputs a warning command to the sub control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 displays a warning screen on the display effect device 11, generates a warning sound from the speaker unit 12, and notifies the player that replay is possible.

  The operation direction sensor 111 outputs direction signals corresponding to the up, down, left, and right directions in which the start lever 9 is operated, and the sub control unit 160 receives the direction signals, and performs various video effects and winning announcements according to the direction signals. Are displayed on the display effect device 11, and further, a sound effect is 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 this ON signal. In accordance with the timing and the number of times the pulse is received (referred to as a continuous hit), various games and their video effects, winning announcements, and the like are displayed on the display effect device 11. Further, sound effects such as bomb drop 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 is ON, the ON / OFF signal is output according to the open / close of the front door 1b. On the other hand, when the main power supply is OFF, the main power supply is driven by the power supplied from the sub power supply (backup battery), and detects and stores the abnormal opening and closing of the front door 1b when the main power supply is cut off. Even when the power is turned on, the auxiliary control unit 160 is notified of the abnormal opening and closing when the main power is turned off. Thus, even if the front door 1b is closed and it seems that there is no abnormality at all, the sub-control unit 160 generates a warning sound when the main power is turned on, so that the manager of the gaming hall recognizes the abnormal situation. Appropriate measures such as checking and checking the gaming machine can be taken.

  The medal detection sensor 130 includes a medal passing sensor and a proximity sensor (not shown), and outputs pulse signals of a number corresponding to the number of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 5. The main control unit 100 receives this pulse signal, executes counter logic processing at the rise and fall of the pulse signal, and displays the number of inserted LEDs 4a or the number of stored medals LED 4b in the display LED block 4 according to the number of pulses. The number of credits or the number of credits increased by the number is displayed.

  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. The main control unit 100 is separately connected to two ports (not shown in detail). The main control unit 100 controls the display of the number of inserted LEDs 4a so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signal.

  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 and the like upon receiving the start signal. A driving pulse signal is output to the drum unit 2 at the same time that the variable display game is started. In addition, the game performed by this one operation of the start lever 9 is a variable display game of one game, and the player aims to obtain a bonus game (big bonus or regular bonus) and increase medals. Repeat the game. The bonus game means, for example, a first-class special role (RB), a first-class special role continuous operation, or a second-class special role 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 a predetermined winning combination is established (the symbol of each rotating drum is determined in advance). When a predetermined combination is displayed, a prize is won.) When paying out a medal, the payout number is displayed on a medal payout number display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and this is added to the credit amount and the medal is displayed. The stored number display LED 4b is displayed. When a payout operation is performed by 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 drive of the medal payout device 18 to change the required number of medals. It is discharged from the payout port 16 and accumulated in the tray 15.

  Further, the main control unit 100 outputs control data (event data) relating to an internal win or the like to the sub control unit 160 when a replay or a small role, particularly, a bonus is internally won. When receiving the control data from the main control unit 100, the sub control unit 160 controls the lighting of the game state display LED unit 13 and the control of a voice synthesis LSI (not shown) for generating a sound effect from the speaker unit 12. , And various effect operations such as display control of characters and background images in the display screen of the display effect device 11.

  Reference numeral 150 denotes a stage setting unit, which performs a stage setting operation of a payout rate described later, so that the hall side can set a stage value according to a large amount of medals released at an event or a newly refurbished opening or a collection status for improving profit. A desired setting value can be selected from 1 to 6 (or jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and the like).

  If the stop setting unit (not shown) is on (or “1”), after the bonus game is over, the total number of medals displayed on the inserted number LED 4a and the stored medal number display LED 4b is forcibly paid out, The operation for performing the variable display game is disabled (stopped), and the speaker unit 12 generates a warning sound. In recent years, there have been many slot machines that do not have this stop setting unit, and they are provided as needed.

  Reference numeral 25 denotes an input SW unit (input switch unit) for inputting various data, for example, setting of a warning mode when a step setting operation of the payout rate is performed, and a time zone in which a warning is generated or not generated. Make the settings for The warning mode includes three modes: an ON state or an OFF state of a warning generation function, and a timer state for generating a warning 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 when switching the volume of the speaker unit 12, and functions when both of them are simultaneously pressed. ing.

  Reference numeral 26 denotes a timekeeping unit which receives absolute time data from a satellite or the like and keeps an accurate time, and keeps outputting the measured time 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 three drums, a left drum 2a, a middle drum 2b, and a right drum 2c, and responds to a drive pulse signal from the main control unit 100. When each of the stepping motors 30a, 30b and 30c is driven and the drive pulse signals are continuously supplied to the three phases simultaneously, a suction force is generated and the motor stops suddenly.

  The stepping motors 30a, 30b and 30c are of the 4-phase 1-2 excitation type and have 252 steps / rotation (1.43 degrees / step). Make one rotation. The main control unit 100 returns one pulse of each index signal (reference signal or reference position signal) from the body sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c, each of which is a photo interrupter provided for each drum. Can be accurately grasped. That is, the resolution by one input pulse is 0.714 (degree / pulse). When the resolution is further increased, the rotation position can be grasped in detail by managing the time from the input pulse to the next input pulse and the rotation speed.

  FIG. 7 is a configuration block diagram of the drum unit.

  The rotation motors of the step motors 30a (not shown), 30b (not shown), and 30c are respectively connected to the center portions of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, which are thick disk-shaped rotating bodies. And rotates in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure (that is, from top to bottom). Further, a left-hand body band 32a, a middle-hand body band 32b, and a right-hand body band 32c on which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn are attached to the outer peripheral portion of each drum, and the same symbol (predetermined in the variable display game) is attached. If the predetermined symbol is displayed on the window 3 side by side on the pay line, it is established (win or operation). In addition, the star mark, + mark, plum mark (black circle mark) and triangle mark in the same figure are shown for the sake of convenience, and are different from actual ones, and include seven designs, bar designs, bell designs, watermelon designs and cherries. Symbols are commonly used. Generally, the torso belt is called a reel tape.

  For each of the step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c, there is provided a torso sensor 31a, 31b, and 31c (not shown). Each time the step motor rotates, an index signal is returned by one pulse from each torso sensor. Is coming. 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 the output drive pulse signals. ing.

  FIG. 8 is a symbol arrangement table of the drum.

  On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a turning band (not shown) on which a left drum pattern, a middle drum pattern, and a right drum pattern are drawn makes a round around the outer peripheral portion of each drum. Is attached to

  As shown in the example, each of the torso belts has 21 differently arranged symbols, and the big bonus symbols "Red 7" and "Blue 7", which activate the bonus, and the cherry of various small role winning symbols. , A watermelon, a bell, and a replay that activates the replay are depicted. It should be noted that the discarded symbol does not constitute any role even if stopped on the activated line, and "N" is printed in a circle in light gray, for example, so as to be inconspicuous to the player.

  FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the drum unit, and FIGS. 9A and 9B show a state in which the right drum 2c is controlled to be retracted in time series.

  The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the lottery result is won and the role is internally won, the main control unit 100 performs a pull-in control for drawing the symbol of the role on the activated line as much as possible. Do.

  For example, in a so-called reach state in which the symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the diagonally lower right effective line of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b where the big bonus role has been internally won and stopped, and four frames above this effective line When the symbol "7" is positioned within the frame (that is, when the symbol is positioned within five frames including the symbol on the activated line), when the right stop button 10c is operated to stop (see FIG. 9A), The control unit 100 performs pull-in control for forcibly pulling the symbol "7" onto the active line and aligning the symbol "7, 7, 7" 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 internally won by a lottery, if the predetermined symbol corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed on the activated line, it is not in a state advantageous to the player. For example, the big bonus game (BB game) does not operate unless it is displayed as shown in FIG. 9 (B). The pull-in control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on any 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 a stop position of each drum according to 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 2c is exactly four frames above, and is lined up on the active line as a target of pull-in control. However, the pull-in control is not limited to four frames, and the number of drawn-in frames can be increased or decreased by software control so as to adapt to design specifications or laws and regulations. In addition, when the random number lottery result is a win in the general game, the sub-control unit 160 provides auxiliary information for stopping the rotation of the rotating drum (the operation order and the like) 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 block diagram of the configuration of the drum unit, and FIGS. 10A and 10B show the state in which the right drum 2c is controlled to avoid (or kick away) in chronological order.

  The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and if the lottery result is lost and the winning combination is not established (if all the winnings are not internally won), the main control unit 100 wins or operates on the activated line. Avoidance control is performed so that the symbols of the combination (bonus, small combination, replay) are not aligned.

  For example, in the reach state (tempai state) in which the symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the activated line diagonally below and to the right of the stopped left drum 2a and middle drum 2b, in which the big bonus role has not been internally won. When the stop button 10c is operated in a state in which the symbol "7" is positioned within one frame from this activated line by "eye pressing" (for example, it is called "biter pressing". A)), the main control unit 100 performs the avoidance control of moving the symbol "7" to the next position so that "7, 7, 7" is not aligned on the active line and forcibly causing loss. FIG. 10B). This avoidance control is performed not only for the right drum 2c but also for any of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b, and the avoidance control is performed so that unwinned small winning symbols do not win. It has become. The pull-in control and the 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 a relationship among an index signal, symbol position data (frame data), a drive pulse signal, and a stop button sensor signal.

  FIG. 11A shows an index signal output from each of the torso sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c. The main control is performed such that T1 is constant at 0.751 seconds (that is, 79.9 revolutions / minute). It is 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 the drive pulse signal is decremented by one for every 24 pulses. That is, based on the index signal, the symbol position data is “21” when the driving pulse signal is in a range of 1 to 24 pulses, the symbol position data is “20” when the driving pulse signal is in a range of 25 to 48 pulses, If the drive pulse signal is in the range of 49 to 72 pulses, the symbol position data is "19", ..., if the drive pulse signal is in the range of 481 to 504 pulses, the symbol position data is "1", and the symbol position data is 21 to 1. Turn around. That is, the symbol position data returns to "21" after "1".

  The driving pulse signal is a driving pulse of a prescribed pattern input to the motor coil to rotate the rotating drum in a fixed direction, and has eight pattern numbers of patterns 0 to 7 as can be seen from the drawing. When pattern numbers 0 to 7 are repeatedly applied to the motor coils 1 to 4 phases three times as the drive pulse signal (that is, when 24 pulses are input), the rotating drum rotates from top to bottom by one symbol (one frame). I do.

  In particular, the input pulse phase data of the driving pulse input to the step motor is 5-bit data of 0 to 23 for driving the rotary drum by one frame, and the pattern numbers 0 to 7 are the phase data of the lower 3 bits. Thus, the drive pulse corresponding to the pattern number is actually applied to the first to fourth phases of the motor coil. 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 this case, the main control unit 100 recognizes the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data “10” (or the pattern number “2”) at the time when the stop button sensor signal rises.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a included in the drum unit.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (A), the left drum 2a is rotating in the direction of the arrow (from top to bottom), and the cherry pattern is displayed in any of the upper, middle, or lower tiers of the three windows 3 indicated by solid lines. Is stopped, a prize is won, and a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. FIG. 12A shows a state in which the cherry symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the window 3.

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

  FIG. 12B shows a range in which the pull-in control is possible. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position four frames above the position where the cherry symbol is exactly at the upper stage, the main control unit 100 displays the window portion. The cherry symbol is stopped in the upper row of No. 3 (assuming that the Vita symbol is in the upper row position). It should be noted that since it takes about 36 ms to actually stop, it is located at the upper position by that amount. However, for convenience of explanation, it is described in this manner. In addition, since the stop is specified within 190 ms from the stop operation, there is a case where four frames do not slip.

  On the other hand, FIGS. 12C and 12D show a range in which the avoidance control and the like are performed. Even when the upper cherry is won, the main control unit 100 changes the cherry symbol from the upper position by four times. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position above the frame (that is, a position above 4 in FIG. 12A) or at a position slightly beyond the upper position, the stop button 10a is moved to a position immediately above or below the upper position. Stop the cherry design one position below and lose it. That is, since the middle cherry (cherry 2) or the lower cherry (cherry 3) has not been won, the cherry symbol must be forcibly stopped outside the window portion 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 pattern on the left drum 2a is frame number 8 and frame number 19 (see FIG. 8). Assuming that the lowermost position of the unit 3 is the measurement reference, the main control unit 100 sets 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 achieved. . That is, even if the stop button 10a is appropriately operated, the winning is not only performed with a probability of 10/21, but if a winning notification is made, a skilled person can perform a push to make a winning with a probability close to 100%. .

  FIG. 14 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drums have stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on an activated line according to the number of inserted game medals. For example, if three game medals are inserted and a cherry symbol of two payouts of the left drum 2a is displayed in the window 3, four upper tiers (2 × 2 lines: the second line and the second line) Four (2 lines), two (2 × 1 line: first line) in the middle stage and four (2 × 2 line: third and fifth lines) in the lower stage. However, this effective line is a general one that has been conventionally employed, and as described later, there are many irregular lines recently.

  In addition, when the eight payout bell symbols are displayed on the effective line of the window portion 3, if only the middle row is displayed, the eight rows (8 pieces × 1 line: the first line) and the upper row and the lower right diagonally lower For example, 15 (8 × 2 lines, but 15 MAX: second and fourth lines) game medals are paid out. In other words, game media of the number of payouts specified according to the type of winning are paid out in total for the winnings, but the maximum payout at one time is fifteen.

  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, and an LED. I have. In this case, although the ROM 11c is separately provided in the display effect control unit 11b, there is no problem even if all of 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 in which the relationship between effect commands and effect pattern data stored in the ROM is associated.

  The production command is composed of 1-byte length mode data and 1-byte length event data, and is stored in association with production pattern data (mainly moving pictures, but also still pictures), which are production contents. .

  Upon receiving control data necessary for various controls from the main control unit 100 (particularly, various data indicating a large hit, a small hit, a replay, or a loss of a random number lottery result) is received from the main control unit 100. Before notifying the result of the lottery, an appropriate effect command corresponding to the control data is transmitted to the display effect device 11, 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, develops 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 a screen.

  17 to 19 are schematic diagrams of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

  When the sub-control unit 160 transmits, for example, ($ Z0 $ 00) as a production command, the display panel 11e displays the "daytime production pattern" of the low-probability stage mainly indicating a state in which there is no AT stock or a state in which the 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 a production command, the display panel 11e displays "Night of night" of the high probability stage indicating the state where the AT stock is present or the high probability state where the AT is easy to win. The effect pattern 0 is displayed (see FIG. 17B). Therefore, the player longs for the display of the “night production stage” mainly indicating the high probability state during the game. However, even if there is no AT stock or a non-high-probability state, it is possible to display the “night production stage” even when the AT stock is displayed, or vice versa. Yes, it is designed to invite the interest of the player.

  Further, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ S0 $ 00) as a production command, the display panel 11e superimposes "Dracula Castle" which is an image corresponding to "castle production pattern 0" on the blue sky background screen. It is displayed (see FIG. 17 (A)) or superimposed on the moonlit background screen (see FIG. 17 (B)), after which bats such as yellow, red or blue bats jump out of Dracula Castle. Then, a notification image corresponding to the established combination (small combination or replay) is displayed (see FIG. 17C).

  If the effect of FIG. 17 (B) occurs frequently and then develops in multiple stages, the effect is a precursory effect (extensive Atsu effect) in which there is AT stock and expectations for AT release are great. For example, FIG. 18A shows a state in which “Dracula Castle” is enlarged and the iron gate is opened. Then, the door is further enlarged (see FIG. 18B), gradually opened (see FIG. 18C), and the inside of the glittering “Dracula Castle” is displayed (see FIG. 18D). After that, the battle between the protagonist and the vampire Dracula will develop, and if the protagonist wins, the AT stock will be confirmed and the release of the AT will be confirmed, and the bonus release will be confirmed during the bonus internal election.

  From the state in which the normal screen at night in FIG. 19A (same as FIG. 17B) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the right, the graveyard is enlarged, and the butler of the character is shouted “Ollah”. Along with the sound effect of “Tirolo Lorone”, the main character appears in the grave hole at the center of the screen (see FIG. 19B), and the character “BONUS” meaning “big hit” is displayed ( By referring to FIG. 19 (C)), an intense premiere effect may be obtained. All of these display effects are also executed when the sub-control unit 160 outputs an effect command according to a 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 numbers used for random number lottery.

  In the case of the spinning game machine of the present invention, the main control unit 100 generates a random value. This random number value is generated randomly all the time from 0 to 65535 (m7) only 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, a random number value of 0 is set. If it is within the range of m1, the big bonus (BB) is won. That is, the internal lottery means that only one random number value is picked up (extracted) at a predetermined timing at the time of the start operation and is compared with a lottery table to determine a winning combination.

  Similarly, a regular bonus (RB) when the random value is in the range of m1 + 1 to m2, a cherry in the range of m2 + 1 to m3, a watermelon in the range of m3 + 1 to m4, and a bell in the range of m4 + 1 to m5. Replay is won if the random number value is in the range of m5 + 1 to m6, while loss occurs if the random value is in the range of m6 + 1 to m7.

  Normally, these numerical values of m1 to m7 are appropriately set in consideration of laws and regulations (Winning Law) and game characteristics. In the case of an A-type normal machine, the BB winning probability is “1/200”. Degree, 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. Has become.

  On the other hand, FIG. 20B is a lottery table used in the high-probability replay state (RT state). In the replay time, the replay winning range is widened by α, whereas the loss range is narrowed by α. Thereby, the winning probability of the replay is set to about “１ ／”. As a result, the probability of the replay winning corresponding to the three-prize payout is greatly increased, while the probability of the loss is reduced. As a result, in the replay time, the expected value of payout of the game medal is significantly improved or increased. . The main controller 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 tables 6 corresponding to the step setting values 1 to 6 of the payout rate and the number of inserted medals (specified number). Selects a lottery table in accordance with the step setting value and the number of inserted medals set by the step setting unit 150, and executes a bonus game or an internal lottery of a plurality of small wins in the variable display game. Note that the expected value of winning the bonus game in the internal lottery is, in general, lottery table 1 <lottery table 2 <... <Lottery table 6, so that the player pursues the high setting table. However, in the case of a machine dedicated to three coins, a lottery table for one inserted medal is unnecessary.

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

  BB (Big Bonus) is a role name when the BB symbol of “Red 7” is aligned on the activated line, and when the BB symbols are aligned, the number of earned medals is 0, and a flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area to set a big bonus. The game (BB game: operation of the continuous actuation device) is entered, and the payout exceeding 360 sheets ends.

  The RB (regular bonus) is a role name when the RB symbols of “blue 7” are aligned on the activated line. When the RB symbols are aligned, the number of medals acquired is 0, and a flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area to set a regular bonus. The game (RB game: operation of the continuous actuation device) is entered, and the payout is over 120 and ends. Note that, these accessory continuous operation devices may be either a first-class special bonus or a second-class special bonus, and are appropriately selected according to design specifications.

  When the cherry symbol stops on the active line of the left drum, one medal is obtained for each active line. For example, if the activated line is the display determination diagram in FIG. 14, one line (short) is stopped if the line is stopped at the middle stage of the left drum. However, if the line is the upper stage or the lower stage, the number of activated lines is two. (Square Choi).

  When the watermelon symbols are aligned on the activated line, five medals are obtained.

  When the bell symbols are aligned on the activated line, eight medals are obtained.

  When the replay symbols are aligned on the activated line, the replay without medals is activated, the flag 1 is set in the flag area, the replay operation is performed by the operation of the start lever 9 by the player, and the flag is lowered (ie, 0). That is, the next game can be played without inserting medals.

  Next, basic operations of the spinning-type gaming machine configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to flowcharts and the like.

  First, in the state where the spinning-type gaming machine is shipped from the factory, the warning mode is "ON" as a default, 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 spinning-type gaming machine main body 1 and turns on the power switch 28c before allowing the player to play, power is supplied to each circuit block, and the main control unit 100 is described below. In step S100, an initial check (such as a hardware abnormality check) and an initial setting (for example, a stop setting flag "1", a step setting value "1" stored in the ROM 101, and an initial value of control data are written in the RAM 102). Then, the sub control unit 160 sets the warning mode to "ON state", and when the front door 1b is closed, the variable display game can be played.

  In this gaming possible state, even if the gaming hall opens the front door 1b again and operates the input SW unit 25 (the operation of simultaneously pressing the initialization switch and the volume switch), the sub control unit 160 Since the control data indicating the payout rate step setting mode 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 unique effect that a warning person cannot easily change the warning mode. Note that the stop setting flag “1” corresponds to the stop setting unit 180 being “ON”, and “0” corresponds to “OFF”.

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

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a main operation processing procedure of the spinning-type gaming machine.

  The employee of the gaming hall opens the front door of the spinning-type gaming machine main body 1, turns off the power switch 28c once, inserts the setting change key into the setting key switch 28a, turns it to the right, and turns 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 In S110, it is determined whether or not the setting key switch 28a is ON.

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

  In the setting change mode of step S120, before the game hall causes the player to play, the player inputs a step setting value "6" of the payout ratio, hits the start lever 9 once to confirm the setting value, and sets the setting key switch 28a. When the main control unit 100 is turned off, the main control unit 100 returns to step S100, sets the set value to “6”, and performs necessary processing such as hardware initial check and initial setting again.

  When the main control unit 100 outputs control data to the sub-control unit 160 in order to set the display of the initial screen in step S100, the sub-control unit 160 displays ($ Y0 $ 01) as an effect command, for example. It is transmitted to the effect device 11. As a result, the display panel 11e displays “Night effect pattern 1” composed of a screen of a full moon, a Dracula castle and a graveyard in the night sky as a start screen (not shown).

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

  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 required number of game medals for the game. In step S160, on the other hand, if the player has not inserted a token, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping through the steps until a medal insertion operation is performed.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S160, it checks whether or not the player has operated the start lever to start the variable display game, and if so, proceeds to step S170 and starts If not, the process returns to step S130, and waits while looping through the steps until there is a start operation.

  The main control unit 100 executes the main process of the variable display game in step S170, performs random number lottery in accordance with the start signal reception timing, and picks up (extracts) the random number value and the current internal state (RT or non-RT). Then, it is determined whether or not an internal winning has been achieved (see the description of FIG. 20).

  The main control unit 100 transmits the lottery result command and the game start signal to the sub-control unit 160, and simultaneously rotates the drum unit 2 so that the plurality of drum units displayed on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c are displayed. Is started at a predetermined speed.

  As described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the main control unit 100 operates each symbol row (turning belt) by the player operating the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, or the right stop button 10c of the stop button unit 10. Is stopped, the pull-in control for aligning the symbols according to the internal winning combination on the activated line and the avoidance control for not aligning the symbols are performed. Further, upon receiving the lottery result command and the game start signal from the main control unit 100, the sub control unit 160 determines whether or not to perform an effect display or the like on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. And a lottery result of a big hit (bonus winning), a small role, a replay or a loss is notified to the player.

  In each of the variable display games of the general game, the main control unit 100 determines that a combination is established if predetermined symbols are displayed side by side on the activated line of the window 3 and determines the game medals according to the payout table shown in FIG. It is paid out from the payout device 18 and discharged from the medal payout opening 16.

  Note that in the big bonus game (BB game) in which three reds 7 are arranged, the BB game mode is ended when the number of acquired pieces exceeds 360 pieces by operating the accessory continuous operation device. Further, in the regular bonus game (RB game) in which three blues 7 are arranged, the RB game mode is ended when the number of acquired pieces exceeds 120 by operating the accessory continuous operation device.

  Then, after ending the game main process of step S170, the main control unit 100 returns to step S130 and repeats the process sequentially.

  FIG. 23 is a symbol arrangement table of the drum.

  On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a turning band (not shown) on which a left drum pattern, a middle drum pattern, and a right drum pattern are drawn makes a round around the outer peripheral portion of each drum. Is attached to

  Each of the torso belts has 21 differently-arranged symbols, each of which has an irregular but bonus-operating symbol: "pentagon (red)", "pentagon (blue)", "pentagon (white)" , "Red 7", "Bell", "Square (red)", "Square (blue)", "Square (white)", and the replay of the symbol that activates the replay are drawn. Have been. Note that the three types of pentagonal symbols also serve as small role symbols.

  FIG. 24 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drums have stopped, the main control unit 100 determines the combination display of symbols related to winning and operation on the activated line of the window 3 according to the number of game medals inserted (for three general games). Do.

  FIG. 24 (B) shows an effective line when a predetermined number of game medals are inserted, and the first line (upper, middle, lower: right: left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, right drum 2c) 4) of the second line (lower, middle, upper: upper right), the third line (upper, middle, upper: V-shaped) and the fourth line (lower, middle, lower: chevron or inverted V-shaped) One becomes effective. In the bonus game (RB: when the first-class special accessory is activated), the prescribed number of game medals is two, but the valid lines are exactly the same for the first to fourth lines.

  FIG. 25 is a payout table when the accessory is not operated (during normal game, the specified number is 3).

  When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of a symbol related to winning or operation on an effective line (see FIG. 24) according to the number of inserted game medals. In this case, the effective line is the same regardless of the number of inserted sheets (three or two).

  (1) Bonus role (RB: Class 1 special role): Any one of (pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), pentagon (white)) on left drum 2a, and (pentagon (red), One of the pentagonal (blue) and pentagonal (white)) and the role when any of ((pentagonal (red), pentagonal (blue), pentagonal (white)) stops on the effective line on the right drum 2c. The number of acquired cards is 0, and a regular bonus game is thereafter provided.The combination of bonuses includes 27 kinds of combinations (3 × 3 × 3). Regardless of the timing, the symbols are arranged such that the predetermined bonus combination symbol stops on any one of the activated lines and always wins the game. To exit, but There is no increase or decrease in medals at all, because the number of winnings is 2 and the 2 small wins always win, while the expected value of the increase or decrease in the regular bonus game is set to 0 and the winning small win is dropped. In the initial state (the RT0 state: the replay probability is about 1 / 7.3), the bonus combination (RB) is internally won in the initial state (RT0 state: replay probability is about 1 / 7.3). When the condition device is actuated, the winning probability of the replay changes from the next game to a high-probability re-playing state (RT1 state: replay probability of about 1 / 1.8). Upon completion (operation completion), the replay winning probability fluctuates and returns to the initial state (RT0 state), that is, the player enters the RT0 state, the RT1 state, and the 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 role (FR1: 1st target small role): Role name when the red 7 design is on the left drum 2a, the bell design is on the middle drum 2b, and the bell design is on the effective line on the right drum 2c. And the number of acquired sheets (the number of paid-out sheets) is 15. When the 7 small wins in the lottery are internally won, one condition device of FR1 (fruit 1) operates. Assuming that the FR1 has one type of combination symbol and has been internally won independently, the predetermined red 7 small combination symbol is placed on any one of the activated lines, regardless of the stop operation sequence and timing of the stop button unit 10. The symbols are arranged so that they stop and always win. As will be described later, in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, the red 7 small combination has one small combination left 1 to 3 for pressing order control, one small combination 1 to 3 and one small combination right 1 to 1 3 will be won at the same time. It should be noted that the first target small winning combination is a small winning combination to be won, which is advantageous for the player.

  (3) Bell small role (FR2: 2nd target small role): This is the role name when the bell symbols are aligned on the activated line, and the number of acquired pieces is two. When the small bell wins in the lottery, one condition device of FR2 (fruit 2) is activated. In FR2, assuming that there is only one kind of combination symbol and the internal symbol is independently won, the bell symbol stops on any one of the activated lines and always wins regardless of the stop operation sequence and timing of the stop button unit 10. The symbols are arranged as follows. As will be described later, in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, the bell small combination is one small combination left 1-3 for pushing order control, one small combination middle 1-3, and one small combination right 1-3. Is to be won at the same time. The second target small winning combination is a small winning combination to be won, which is advantageous for the player.

  The one small role for controlling the pressing order is a small role for drawing in the above-mentioned bonus role (bonus pulling small role). In the present embodiment, there are nine types, and when the pressing order of the stop button portion is correct, it is simultaneous. The winning red 7 small part (first target small part) or the bell small part (second target small part) wins, while one small part or the bonus part which is simultaneously selected wins due to incorrect answer. In the case of an incorrect answer, the probability of winning the bonus combination is 2/3.

  (4) One small role left 1 (FR3): a square (brown) pattern on the left drum 2a, any of (pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), pentagon (white)) on the middle drum 2b, right The role name when one of the symbols (pentagonal (red), pentagonal (blue), and pentagonal (white)) (9 types of symbol combinations) is stopped on the drum 2c on the activated line, and the number of acquired cards is 1 It becomes a sheet. When one small part left 1 is internally won by lottery, one condition device of FR3 (fruit 3) is activated. Assuming that the FR3 has nine combinations of symbols and is internally elected alone, if the left stop button 10a is operated at a timing at which a square (brown) design can be pulled in, the stop operation sequence and timing of the other stop button units 10 are changed. Regardless, the symbols are arranged such that one predetermined small symbol left one symbol stops and wins on one of the activated lines. Conversely, if the left stop button 10a is operated at a timing at which the square (brown) pattern cannot be pulled in, a loss occurs. In addition, 1 is stored as the pressing order data indicating that the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a (01 in a 2-bit binary number) in association with the one small winning combination left 1. However, according to the pressing order discrimination program, if one piece is a small part left 1, it is possible to form a logic so as to guide that the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a. Generally, the order data is stored in accordance with the required data capacity.

  (5) Single Small Combination Left 2 (FR4): Single Small Combination Left 1 is different from that of the left drum 2a only in that the design of the left drum 2a is changed to a square (blue) design.

  (6) Single Small Combination Left 3 (FR5): Single Small Combination Left 1 is different from that of the left drum 2a only in that the design of the left drum 2a is changed to a square (white) design.

  (7) 1 small role middle 1 (FR6): any of (pentagonal (red), pentagonal (blue), pentagonal (white)) design on left drum 2a, square (brown) design on middle drum 2b, right The role name when one of the symbols (pentagonal (red), pentagonal (blue), and pentagonal (white)) (9 types of symbol combinations) is stopped on the drum 2c on the activated line, and the number of acquired cards is 1 It becomes a sheet. When one of the small wins is internally won in the lottery, one condition device of FR6 (fruit 6) is activated. Assuming that the FR6 has nine combinations of symbols and that it is internally won independently, if the middle stop button 10b is operated at a timing at which a square (brown) design can be pulled in, the stop operation order and timing of the other stop button units 10 are changed. Regardless, the symbols are arranged such that one of the predetermined small winning combinations is stopped on one of the activated lines to win a prize. Conversely, if the middle stop button 10b is operated at a timing at which the square (brown) pattern cannot be pulled in, a loss occurs. In addition, as described above, 2 is stored as the pressing order data indicating that the first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b (10 in a 2-bit binary number) in association with 1 in 1 small role.

  (8) One small win 2 (FR7): The one small win 1 is different from the one shown in the middle drum 2b only in that the design of the middle drum 2b is changed to a square (blue) design.

  (9) One small win 3 (FR8): One small win 1 is different from the middle drum 2b only in that the design of the middle drum 2b is changed to a square (white) design.

  (10) One small role right 1 (FR9): Any one of (pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), pentagon (white)) pattern on left drum 2a, (pentagon (red), pentagon on middle drum 2b (Blue), pentagonal (white)), and the role name when a square (brown) symbol (9 types of symbol combinations) are stopped on the right line 2c on the activated line. It becomes a sheet. When one small part right 1 is internally won by lottery, one condition device of FR9 (fruit 9) operates. Assuming that the FR9 has nine combinations of symbols and that it is internally won independently, if the right stop button 10c is operated at a timing at which a square (brown) design can be pulled in, the stop operation sequence and timing of the other stop button units 10 are changed. Regardless, the symbols are arranged on one of the activated lines so that one symbol in one predetermined small role stops and wins. Conversely, if the right stop button 10c is operated at a timing at which the square (brown) symbol cannot be pulled in, a loss occurs. As described above, 3 is stored as the pressing order data indicating that the first stop operation corresponds to the right stop button 10c (11 in a 2-bit binary number) in association with the one-sheet small role right 1.

  (11) One Small Combination Right 2 (FR10): One Small Combination Right 1 is different from that of the right drum 2c only in that the design of the right drum 2c is changed to a square (blue) design.

  (12) Single Small Combination Right 3 (FR11): Single Small Combination Right 1 is only the symbol of the right drum 2c changed to a square (white) symbol.

  (13) Replay (replay): This is the role name when three replay symbols are aligned on the activated line, for which no medal is obtained, the RP flag is set in the flag area, and when this is won alone, Alternatively, the replay will always be activated even when another small role or bonus role is simultaneously won. The replay has only one combination symbol, and the player can operate the start lever 9 to perform the next game without inserting medals. It should be noted that even if the replay is activated, it does not trigger a change in RT (winning probability of replay).

  The present embodiment describes the basic structure, and is not limited to the above-described winning combination, but may be, for example, a rare small combination such as cherry or watermelon, another special replay combination, or a red 7 replay combination that is won only during a bonus game ( It is also possible to provide an invalid horizontal line such as an upper horizontal line, a middle horizontal line, or a lower horizontal line (a replay role that looks like the seven red symbols are aligned). When these rare small wins are internally won, an ART lottery is performed, or the ART is determined by the internal win of the 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. 26 (B) shows the lottery probability during the general game, FIG. 26 (C) shows the lottery probability inside the RB, and FIG. 26 (D) shows the lottery probability during the RB.

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

  When the RB serving as the bonus combination is internally won and the RB wins in the game, the RB game starts from the next game. The RB game ends with eight games or eight prizes, and a normal replay state in which the winning probability of the replay combination is low from the next game. While the player is in the addictive game, the general game (medal decrease in the normal replay state) → the RB is internally won → the RB winning → the RB game 8 times → the RB game ends → the general game is repeated.

  On the other hand, even if the RB is internally won in the general game, if the winning of the RB is avoided, an RT state in which the bonus combination is internally won (inside the RB) is set (see the hatched portion in FIG. 26A). In this RT state, there is no loss (unwinning) as described later, so that the player can play the variable display game in an advantageous gaming state.

  At the time of a general game (see FIG. 26B), the number of RBs is 12000, and the winning probability is 12000/65536. The number of RBs, the bell small part and the one piece small part simultaneously won is 6000, and the winning probability is 6000/65536. The number of wins for the 7 small wins and 1 small win at the same time 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 a non-winning (losing) is 15558/65536 (1 / 4.2).

  In the inside of the RB (see FIG. 26C), since the RB lottery is not performed, the winning probability is zero. Note that “inside the RB” means a state in which the RB flag is set and the RB has already been hit. During this RB, a high-probability replaying state (RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay has fluctuated. The lottery area with the number of 12,000 RBs shown in FIG. 26B and the number of pieces of 15558 which was not won (losing) becomes a new winning area for replay. Therefore, 36536, which is the sum of the original replay number 8978 and the number 12000 and the number 15558, becomes the number. The replay winning probability is 36536/65536 (about 1 / 1.8), and the unreachable number is 0. It becomes. That is, in the RB where there is no loss, the AT function is activated to notify the player of the pressing order for winning the red 7 small part and the bell small part, thereby allowing the player to efficiently acquire the medal.

  When the expected value in the RB is calculated, the probability of winning the small part of Red 7 is 23000/65536, and the number of increase is 12 (15 payouts-3 inserts). Become. On the other hand, the probability of winning the small bell is 6000/65536, and the number of increase is -1 (2 payouts-3 payouts), so -0.09 sheets / game. Even if the replay is won, the next game can be performed without inserting a medal, so that there is no change in the expected value. Therefore, if the AT is activated inside the RB to win the small part of red 7 and the small part of bell, the average increase is about 4.1 sheets / game, and the maximum net number increase in the fifth unit is Can be achieved.

  In the RB (see FIG. 26 (D)), the number of the Bell small hand is 65536, and the winning probability is 100%. Since there are two payouts and two insertions, there is no increase or decrease in medals during this period. However, if a plurality of small wins are selected by lottery and the pressing order is omitted, the expected value of the acquired number can be intentionally lowered.

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

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

  FIG. 27 (B) shows a state in which the small red portion (FR1) and the single small portion (FR7) are simultaneously won in the normal game (see FIG. 26 (B)). Since the pressing order data of one small win (FR7) is 2, the middle stop button 10b is in the correct operation order.

  FIG. 27C shows a state in which the small red portion (FR1) and the single small portion (FR11) are simultaneously won in the RB (see FIG. 26C). Naturally, the RB flag is set inside the RB, and the RB is also won without a lottery. Since the pressing order data of the one-page small winning combination (FR11) is 3, the right stop button 10c is in the correct operation order.

  FIG. 28 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  For example, at the time of a general game, if the RB, the bell small portion (FR2) and the single small portion (FR3) shown in FIGS. 26B and 27A are simultaneously won by random number lottery, the RB flag and the FR2 flag are set. And the FR3 flag is set.

  When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop in a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating, the main control unit 100 stores control information to be stored (a bell symbol is drawn at the first left stop). ) Is determined (the pressing order is "correct"), and regardless of the order of the subsequent second stop operation and the third stop operation, only the bell small role is always won by the stop control processing and two sheets are won. Pay out medals. That is, the main control unit 100 starts the variable display game in which the three symbol rows are varied, and determines the RB, the bell small part (second target small part), and the pressing order by the lottery of the combination (also referred to as “symbol lottery”). One small role (six combinations of symbols), which is a small role, is simultaneously elected internally. When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the pressing order (left first) stored in correspondence with the one small winning combination, the bell symbol is stopped on the activated line and the bell small winning is awarded. As will be described later, if the pushing order is correct, stop control is performed so that neither the internally won RB nor the small winning combination is won.

  FIG. 28A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, the player presses the left stop button 10a at the first stop with the No. When the stop operation is performed while the red 7 of the No. 9 is at the reference position (the state in which the red 7 of the No. 9 can immediately stop at the lower position of the left drum 2a; see FIG. 28B), the main control unit 100 sets the active line The pull-in control is performed so that only one bell symbol stops at any one of them. In this case, the No. in four frames above 5 is stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 28C). As a result, the left drum 2a slides for four frames and stops. In addition, the main control unit 100 can stop the square (brown) symbol of the single winning combination (FR3), which has been simultaneously won, on the activated line, but constitutes a bell winning combination with a large number of payouts. Stop the bell symbol. However, when both symbols can be drawn in for the bonus combination and the small combination, the main control unit 100 performs stop control so that the small combination design is prioritized over the bonus combination design.

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

  FIG. 29 (A) is the same as FIG. 28 (C), and when the player stops the middle stop button 10b in the second stop in a state where the left drum 2a is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed in the lower stage. , The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. 8 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 29B). Note that, since the five bell symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames at the furthest, any bell symbol in the pull-in range must be stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b to be in a temporary state. Is possible. The tempai state in FIG. 29B is also referred to as a “reach state” of a predetermined combination as a synonym.

  When the player stops the right stop button 10c at the third stop in the temporary state of FIG. The bell symbol 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 the interval of four frames, any of the bell symbols can be arbitrarily stopped at the upper or lower stage of the right drum 2c to win a prize. (The second line in the figure). When the vehicle stops at the upper stage, the bell becomes a strong bell, and the AT lottery is performed with a high probability.

  FIG. 30 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 30 (A) is the same as FIG. 29 (A). 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. As in FIG. The bell symbol 7 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 30B). Since the six bell symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged within the interval of four frames, one of the bell symbols in the pull-in range must be stopped at the upper or lower stage of the right drum 2c to be in a temporary state. Is possible.

  When the player stops the middle stop button 10b at the third stop in the tempered state shown in 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 the furthest intervals of four frames, any bell symbol in the pull-in range can be stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b to win a prize. (The second line in the figure). That is, if any of the RB, the bell small combination and the left first small combination (FR3 to FR5) is won at the same time, if the first pressing order is the left stop button 10a, any operation thereafter may be performed. The RB or one piece small role does not win while the bell small role wins. As a result, in the variable display game after the next game, the player enters the high-probability replaying state (RT state) during the RB internal winning, so that the player can play the game without being unwinned (losing). In the AT state, the sub control unit 160 uses the display effect device 11 and the speaker unit 12 to notify a predetermined first order (in this case, left first) for winning the small bell part.

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

  FIG. 31A shows a state in which all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating, as in FIG. In this state, when the player presses the middle stop button 10b at the first stop, for example, When the stop operation is performed while the pentagon (red) of No. 1 is at the reference position (the pentagon (red) of No. 1 can immediately stop at the lower position of the middle drum 2b; see FIG. 31B), the main control unit 100 Is located at the middle position of the middle drum 2b through which the effective line passes, and No. The pentagonal (white) symbol 17 is stopped (see FIG. 31C). As a result, the middle drum 2b stops by sliding four frames. The main control unit 100 can stop the bell symbol (No. 19) of the simultaneously-winning bell small part (FR2) on the activated line. This means that the pentagonal (white) symbol of the small winning combination (FR3) within the range of the number of drawn frames is stopped on the activated line because the pressing order is wrong. Regardless of the timing at which the player operates the middle drum 2b in the first stop, a pentagonal (red) symbol and a pentagon constituting one small role (FR3) arranged at intervals of four frames at a maximum distance Either the (blue) symbol or the pentagonal (white) symbol can be stopped at the middle position. However, the reason that the main control unit 100 does not pull in the bell symbol is that the number of combinations of the symbols in the case of pulling in one small symbol is three (square (brown), pentagonal (white), pentagonal (red / blue / white) On the other hand, the number of symbol combinations when the bell small symbol is pulled in is 1, and in each case, the number of symbol combinations is larger in the single small role (FR3) than in the bell small role. is there. In other words, if the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, the symbol constituting the small winning combination (FR3) can be drawn into the activated line and stopped. And since this one small combination symbol also serves as the RB symbol, it means that the symbol of both roles is drawn as a result.

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

  FIG. 32 (A) is the same as FIG. 31 (C), and when the player stops the right stop button 10c in the second stop in a 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. The pentagonal (red) symbol of No. 3 is stopped at the lower stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 32B). The pentagonal (red) design, pentagonal (blue) design or pentagonal (white) design that constitutes one small role (FR3) are arranged at intervals of six frames on the right drum 2c, and thus are within the pull-in range. Any of the pentagonal (red / blue / white) symbols can be stopped at the upper or lower stage of the right drum 2c to be in a tempered state. In this case, not only the single sheet winning combination (FR3), but also the RB winning combination is in the temporary state (double temporary state).

  In the double temporary state shown in FIG. 32 (B), the player presses the left stop button 10a at the third stop and sets the No. When the stop operation is performed when the bell symbol of No. 5 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 causes the No. 5 which is one frame higher. Then, the square (brown) symbol No. 4 is stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a, and one small role (FR3) is awarded on the fourth line (see FIG. 32C). In addition, No. No. 10 discarded design ~ No. When the left stop button 10a is stopped when the square (brown) symbol of No. 4 is at the reference position, No. By stopping the square (brown) symbol No. 4 on the first line or the fourth line, it is possible to win one small role (FR3). That is, since the stop operation may be performed in 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 replaying state (RT state) during the RB internal winning, so that the player can play the game without being unwinned (losing).

  FIG. 33 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 33 (A) shows the same double-tempered state as in FIG. 32 (B). If the stop operation is performed when the discarded symbol of No. 3 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 causes the main control unit 100 to move to No. 2 above. The pentagonal (red) symbol 1 is stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a, and the RB combination is awarded on the fourth line (see FIG. 33B).

  Also, in the state of FIG. 33A, the player presses the left stop button 10a at the third stop with No. When the stop operation is performed when the square (blue) of No. 11 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 causes the No. 11 located three frames above. The pentagonal (blue) symbol 8 is stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a, and the RB combination is awarded on the fourth line (see FIG. 33C). That is, No. 1 to No. 3 or No. 11-No. When the player stops the left stop button 10a when any of the symbols 21 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 wins, and the winning probability is 2/3. As a result, the next game is a bonus game, and the game is played without increasing medals. Note that, even when the left stop button 10a is operated in the second stop, the winning mode is consequently the same, and the description is omitted.

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

  For example, at the time of a general game, if the small red portion (FR1) and the single small portion (FR7) shown in FIGS. 26 (B) and 27 (B) are simultaneously won by random number lottery, the FR1 flag and the FR7 flag are set. stand.

  When the player operates the middle stop button 10b at the first stop in a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating, the main control unit 100 stores the control information to be stored (the bell symbol is drawn at the first middle stop). ) Is determined (the pressing order is “correct”), and regardless of the subsequent order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation, the stop control process always causes only the red 7 small role to win, and 15 Pay out medals. That is, the main control unit 100 starts a variable display game in which three symbol rows are changed, and a small lottery of red 7 (first target small combination) and a pressing small order small combination (1st small combination) (9 types of symbol combinations) are internally won at the same time. When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the pressing order (medium first) stored corresponding to the one small winning combination, the bell symbol is stopped on the activated line and the red 7 small winning is awarded. Further, as described later, if the pressing order is correct, stop control is performed so as not to win one small winning combination that is internally won at the same time.

  FIG. 34A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, when the player presses the middle stop button 10b at the first stop, the No. When the stop operation is performed while the bell symbol of No. 8 is at the reference position (a state in which the pentagonal (blue) symbol of No. 7 can immediately stop at the middle position of the middle drum 2b; see FIG. 34 (B)), the main control unit 100 The pull-in control is performed so that the bell symbol stops on the activated line. In this case, the No. 5 on 5 frames The bell symbol No. 3 is stopped at the middle position of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 34C). As a result, the middle drum 2b stops by sliding four frames. In this case, the main control unit 100 cannot stop on the active line because the square (blue) symbol of the one small winning combination (FR7), which is simultaneously won, is not in the pull-in range.

  FIG. 35 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window 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 a 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. The eleventh bell symbol is 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 furthest, any of the bell symbols in the pull-in range is stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage of the right drum 2c, and the right drum 2c is brought into a temporary state. It is possible to do.

  When the player stops the left stop button 10a at the third stop in the tempered state of FIG. The second red 7 symbol is 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 in the upper or lower row of the left drum 2a, and the red 7 small role (FR1) is won. (The second line in the figure). Note that 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 role (FR1) always wins in the same manner, and the winning manner becomes the same. Description is omitted.

  FIG. 36 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 36A shows a state in which all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating, as in FIG. In this state, the player presses the left stop button 10a at the first stop, for example, No. When the stop operation is performed when the replay symbol of No. 7 is at the reference position (the replay symbol of No. 7 can immediately stop at the lower position of the left drum 2a; see FIG. 36B), the main control unit 100 sets the activated line to the active line. In the upper position of the left drum 2a that passes, the No. The pentagonal (red) symbol 1 is stopped (see FIG. 36 (C)). As a result, the left drum 2a slides for four frames and stops. Note that the main control unit 100 can stop the red 7 symbol (No. 2) of the simultaneously winning red 7 small role (FR1) on the activated line. Since it means “first” and the pressing order is wrong, the pentagonal (red) symbol of one small role (FR7) within the range of the number of drawn frames is stopped on the activated line. Also, regardless of the timing at which the player stops the left drum 2a at the first stop, a pentagonal (red) symbol constituting one small win (FR7) arranged at intervals of 6 frames at the farthest, Either the pentagonal (blue) symbol or the pentagonal (white) symbol can be stopped at the upper or lower position. However, the reason why the main control unit 100 does not pull in the seven red symbols is that the number of combinations of the symbols when one small role symbol is drawn is three (pentagon (red), square (blue), pentagon (red / blue / white) )), On the other hand, the number of combinations of the symbols when the red 7 small combination symbol is drawn is 1, and in any case, the number of combinations of the single small combination (FR7) is smaller than that of the red 7 small combination. Because there are many. In other words, when the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, the symbol constituting the one-piece small winning combination (FR7) can be drawn on the activated line and stopped. In addition, since this one small combination symbol also serves as an RB symbol, if the RB is internally won, the symbol of both roles is eventually drawn in.

  FIG. 37 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 37 (A) is the same as FIG. 36 (C). In a 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, The pentagonal (red) symbol of No. 3 is stopped at the lower stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 37B). The pentagonal (red) design, pentagonal (blue) design or pentagonal (white) design that constitutes one small role (FR7) are located at intervals of six frames on the right drum 2c, and thus are within the pull-in range. Any of the pentagonal (red / blue / white) symbols can be stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage of the right drum 2c to be in a tempered state. In addition, since the one small win symbol in the tempai state also serves as the RB symbol, if the RB is internally won, the double tempai state in which the symbols of both the roles are drawn in will result.

  In the ten-piece state of the single small role (FR7) shown in FIG. When the stop operation is performed when the square (white) symbol of No. 16 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 causes the No. 16 which is five frames higher. The eleventh square (blue) symbol is stopped at the middle position of the middle drum 2b, and one small role (FR7) is awarded on the first line (see FIG. 37 (C)). In addition, No. No. 16 square (white) pattern-No. When the middle stop button 10b is stopped when the square (blue) symbol of No. 11 is at the reference position, No. 10 or No. The eleventh square (blue) symbol can be stopped on the first line to win one small role (FR7). In other words, the stop operation may be performed within the range of 6 frames out of 21 frames, so the winning probability is 3/7, but if the operation is performed at any other timing, a losing will occur. In addition, even if the middle stop button 10b is operated in the second stop and the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop, one small role (FR7) wins or loses in the same manner, and the winning mode is similarly changed. Therefore, the description is omitted.

  FIG. 38 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window 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, a random number lottery is used to select the small red 7 (FR1) 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 the internal state, the RB flag, the FR1 flag, and the FR11 flag are raised as a result (see FIGS. 26C and 27C).

  When the player operates the right stop button 10c at the first stop in a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating, the main control unit 100 stores the control information to be stored (the bell symbol is drawn at the first right stop). ) Is determined (the pressing order is “correct”), and regardless of the subsequent order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation, the stop control process always causes only the red 7 small role to win, and 15 Pay out medals. That is, the main control unit 100 starts a variable display game in which three symbol rows are varied, and RB, red 7 small combination (first target small combination), and pushing order by lottery of a combination (also referred to as “symbol lottery”). One small winning combination (9 kinds of symbol combinations), which is a prescribed small winning, is simultaneously internally won. When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the pushing order (right first) stored in correspondence with the one small winning combination, the bell symbol constituting the red 7 small winning is stopped on the activated line and the red 7 small winning is stopped. Win a prize. As will be described later, if the pushing order is correct, stop control is performed so that neither the internally won RB nor the small winning combination is won.

  FIG. 38A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, the player presses the right stop button 10c at the first stop and sets the No. When the stop operation is performed while the bell symbol of No. 4 is at the reference position (the bell symbol of No. 4 can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the right drum 2c; see FIG. 38 (B)), the main control unit 100 sets the activated line The pull-in control is performed so that only one bell symbol stops at any one of them. In this case, the No. in four frames above. The bell symbol 21 is stopped at the lower position of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 38C). It is also possible to stop the bell symbol on the upper line or the lower line on the activated line by stopping the bita or sliding by two frames, but since it is a strong role "sliding red 7 small role", as a result, the right drum 2c is , The player stops after sliding for four frames, and the player who confirms this will expect to win the ART. Similarly, there is also a strong role "one slip small role". The main control unit 100 can stop the square (white) symbol of the one small winning combination (FR11), which has been simultaneously won, at the upper position on the activated line. The bell symbol constituting the role is stopped on the activated line. However, when both symbols can be drawn in for the bonus combination and the small combination, the main control unit 100 performs stop control so that the small combination design is prioritized over the bonus combination design.

  FIG. 39 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 39 (A) is the same as FIG. 38 (C). When the player stops the middle stop button 10b in the second stop in a state where 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 furthest, any bell symbol in the pull-in range stops at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b even if the stop operation is performed at any timing. By doing so, it is possible to make a tempai state.

  When the player stops the left stop button 10a at the third stop in the tempered state shown in FIG. The second red 7 symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 39 (C)). Since the three red 7 symbols on the left drum 2a are arranged at intervals of 6 frames, any one of the red 7 symbols can be stopped at the upper or lower stage of the left drum 2a to win a prize ( In the figure, the first line). When the bitter stops at the upper stage aiming at the red 7 symbol, the strongest red 7 is a small winning combination, 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 the weak red 7 small combination, the red 7 symbol slides and stops at the lower position. Therefore, if the pressing order is correct, the RB internal winning state is maintained, so that the player can play the game without loss.

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

  FIG. 40A shows a state in which all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating, as in FIG. 38A. In this state, the player presses the left stop button 10a at the first stop, for example, No. When the stop operation is performed when the replay symbol of No. 7 is at the reference position (the replay symbol of No. 7 can immediately stop at the lower position of the left drum 2a; see FIG. 40B), the main control unit 100 sets the activated line to the active line. In the upper position of the left drum 2a that passes, the No. The pentagonal (red) symbol 1 is stopped (see FIG. 40 (C)). As a result, the left drum 2a slides for four frames and stops. The main control unit 100 can also stop the red 7 symbol (No. 2) of the red 7 small winning combination (FR1), which has been simultaneously won, on the activated line. Since it means “first” and the pressing order is wrong, the pentagonal (red) symbol of one small win (FR11) within the range of the number of drawn frames is stopped on the activated line. Also, no matter at what timing the player stops the left drum 2a at the first stop, the pentagonal (red) pattern and the pentagonal (blue) that constitute one small win (FR11) arranged at intervals of 6 frames ) Either the symbol or the pentagonal (white) symbol can be stopped at the upper or lower position. However, the reason that the main control unit 100 does not pull in the seven red symbols is that the number of combinations of the symbols in the case of pulling in one small combination symbol is three (pentagon (red), pentagon (red / blue / white), square (white) )), On the other hand, the number of combinations of the symbols when the red 7 small combination symbol is drawn in is 1 (red 7, bell, bell), and in any case, the one small combination (FR11) is the red 7 small combination This is because there are more combinations of symbols than roles. In other words, if the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, any one of the symbols constituting the small one (FR11) can be drawn on the activated line and stopped. In addition, since this one small combination symbol also serves as an RB symbol, if the RB is internally won, the symbol of both roles is eventually drawn in.

  FIG. 41 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 41 (A) is the same as FIG. 40 (C), and when the left drum 2a is stopped and the pentagonal (red) symbol is displayed in the upper row, the player presses the middle stop button 10b at 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 (a 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 is performed. No. 100 is No. The pentagonal (white) symbol 17 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 41C). The pentagonal (red) design, pentagonal (blue) design or pentagonal (white) design that constitutes one small role (FR11) is arranged within four frames on the middle drum 2b, so that It is possible to stop any one of the pentagonal (red / blue / white) symbols in the middle stage of the middle drum 2b to bring it into a tempered state. In addition, the one small combination symbol in the tempai state also serves as the RB symbol, and since the RB is internally won, a double tempai state in which the symbol of both roles is drawn in is obtained as a result.

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

  FIG. 42 (A) is the same as FIG. 41 (C), in which the left drum 2a stops and a pentagonal (red) symbol is displayed in the upper row, and the middle drum 2b stops and a pentagonal (white) symbol is displayed in the middle row. In this state, the player presses the right stop button 10c at the third stop, for example, with the No. When the stop operation is performed while the replay symbol of No. 5 is at the reference position (the state in which the replay symbol of No. 5 can immediately stop at the lower position of the right drum 2c; see FIG. 42 (B)), the main control unit 100 sets the No. The square (white) symbol of No. 20 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c, and one small role (FR11) is awarded on the third line (see FIG. 42 (C)). In addition, No. No. 5 replay symbol ~ No. 5 If the right stop button 10c is stopped when the square (white) symbol of No. 20 is at the reference position, No. By stopping the twenty square (white) symbols on the first line or the third line, one small role (FR11) can be won. In other words, if the stop operation is performed within the range of 7 frames out of 21 frames, the small winning combination (FR11) wins, so that the winning probability is 1/3, but if the operation is performed at any other timing, it will be described later. RB wins. Even if the right stop button 10c is operated in the second stop and the middle stop button 10b is operated in the third stop, one small win (FR7) or a RB wins in the same manner, and the winning mode is eventually changed. The description is omitted because it is the same.

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

  FIG. 43 (A) is the same as FIG. 42 (A), in which the left drum 2a stops and a pentagonal (red) symbol is displayed in the upper row, and the middle drum 2b stops and a pentagonal (white) symbol is displayed in the middle row. In this state, the player presses the right stop button 10c at the third stop, for example, with the 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 stop immediately at the lower position of the right drum 2c), the main control unit 100 sets the No. 7 symbol. The pentagonal (red) symbol of No. 3 is slid four frames and stopped at the lower stage of the right drum 2c, and RB is awarded on the first line (see FIG. 43 (B)). Also, in the state of FIG. 43A, the player presses the right stop button 10c at the third stop, for example, with the No. When the stop operation is performed when the red 7 symbol of No. 16 is at the reference position (a state in which the red 7 symbol of No. 16 can stop immediately at the lower position of the right drum 2c), the main control unit 100 sets the No. The ten pentagonal (blue) symbols are slid four frames and stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c, and the RB is awarded on the third line (see FIG. 43 (C)). In other words, if the operation order of the stop button unit 10 is incorrect, one small win wins with a probability of 1/3 and the RB internal winning state is maintained, while the RB wins with a probability of 2/3 and the RB game is played. When the game starts and ends, the game returns to the general game, and the game is in a hooking state in which there is a loss. That is, if the RB wins the small 7 small win (FR1), the bell small win (FR2), and the single small win (FR3 to FR11) during the internal winning, in the variable display game of the next game, the RB inside winning is performed. Since the player enters the high-probability replaying state (RT state), the player can play the game in a state in which the player does not lose the game.

  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 a random number lottery (lottery or symbol lottery) according to the operation of the start lever 9 (reception timing of the start signal) by the player. After calling the subroutine, the symbol variation display game is started by rotating the drum unit 2.

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

  Upon receiving the notification signal, the sub control unit 160 determines in step SS100 whether any of the combined small wins (see FIGS. 25, 26 (B) and 26 (C)) has been won by a command, data, or the like. Is confirmed, and if it has not been won, an effect according to another winning combination is performed and the process ends, while 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 during the AT. If there is no remaining game number, the process proceeds to step SS120. If there is an AT stock, the process proceeds to step SS130.

  The sub control unit 160 confirms in step SS120 whether or not the conditions for the presence and release of AT stock (to activate the AT function) are satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied, the process ends. Move to.

  The sub control unit 160 activates the AT function in step SS130, notifies the pressing order of the stop button operation corresponding to the internally-selected winning combination, and ends this processing. Specifically, this AT function is performed with the voices of "Left", "Medium", "Right" in a male voice, and "Left," "Medium," and "Right" in a female voice. Are displayed on the display effect device 11 as images.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S210, it is the composite winning combination that is internally won, and when the stop operation is performed in the pushing order corresponding to the composite winning combination (that is, if the pushing order is correct). If the push order is incorrect, the process proceeds to step S230. Although not shown in the figure, if the internally won combination is not a composite small combination, predetermined stop control is performed according to the other internally won combination, and the process ends.

  When proceeding to step S230, the main control unit 100 always stops one symbol constituting the bonus pulling small combination on the activated line. When the process proceeds to step S240, if the subsequent stop operation timings match, the main control unit 100 ends the game by winning the bonus pull-in small part in step S250. If the stop operation timings do not match, the process proceeds to step S260. Transition.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S260, if the bonus is being internally won, the main control unit 100 wins the bonus combination in step S270. On the other hand, if the bonus is not being internally won, 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 to be displayed on the display effect device 11 according to the game state. FIG. 45A shows a daytime stage screen, which is used in a state where the AT winning probability is low. FIG. 45 (B) shows a night stage screen, which is mainly used in a state where the AT winning probability is high. Therefore, when this screen is displayed, the player is excited with an expectation of AT release. When a rare small role (eg, middle cherry, strong watermelon, strong bell, etc.) is won, the sub-control unit 160 performs an AT lottery (AT bonus release lottery) and a highly accurate lottery. When this high-precision lottery is won, the normal daytime screen is switched to the nighttime screen, while a fall-down lottery is performed with a predetermined probability every time a replay is won during the AT high-precision lottery. And the night screen are alternately displayed at a predetermined frequency. Generally, these display screens change the time and weather in accordance with the stay mode such as the low probability state, the high probability state, and the RB internal winning in order to suggest the correct mode to the player. Proper effects (fake effects) can be performed as appropriate to further excite the player's expectations. Further, a normal announcement effect corresponding to the various winning combinations is executed.

  FIG. 45 (C) shows a night kaminari screen. When the player operates the start lever from the night stage screen to start the variable display game, the sub-control unit 160 sets a predetermined condition such as when a rare small role is won. An assist lottery (AT lottery) is performed each time it is established. When the AT lottery is performed, the sub-control unit 160 performs an effect of dropping a kaminari on the night stage screen with a thunder, in accordance with the operation timing of the stop button unit 10, in order to inform the player of the AT lottery. If the AT is won when the daytime stage is displayed, the daytime stage screen is suddenly changed to the nighttime stage screen, and a lightning continuation effect is performed at least twice to indicate a sign of AT release. When the lightning effect is performed three times in succession from the daytime stage screen, and the kaminari is dropped three times in accordance with the operation timing of the stop button unit 10, an AT release confirmation (AT bonus confirmation) is notified. Therefore, by appropriately generating thunder and kaminari, the sense of expectation of the player can be increased.

  As another indication of the release of the AT, the night kaminari screen will be used successively, with a sound effect of “gorokuro dokkan”. In particular, during the predictive effect at the time of the general game shown in FIG. 26, if “RB + Bell small part + 1 sheet small part” is internally won, the stop button unit 10 may be temporarily stopped together with the intense AT effect of AT activation. After the impossible freeze state, the order in which the small bell is won is announced. Thereby, it is possible to guide to the bonus internal winning state. Also, if the “red 7 small role and 1 piece small role” shown in FIG. 26 is internally won during the precursor of the release of the AT bonus, the pressing order for winning the red 7 small role is notified.

  The above-mentioned AT lottery is also called a navigation lottery (abbreviated name of “navigation lottery”), and when the AT function is activated, the sub-control unit 160 is stopped in order to win the push order small combination (target small combination). The operation order of the button unit 10 is notified. In addition, when an AT lottery is won, the AT function is not immediately activated, but is added and stored as AT stock (storage or storage), and is released at a desired timing at a time to play a large number of medals. It is possible to get the person. For example, after a special replay (a red 7 replay role that looks like the red 7 symbol is aligned on the upper horizontal line, the middle horizontal line, or the lower horizontal line, which is an invalid line) having a very low winning probability is selected. In the RT state (high-probability replaying state), if all the AT stock of one set of 50 games is released and the AT lottery is performed during the ART, the ART continues for a long time without reducing the number of balls held by the RT. A lump of lump can be created.

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

  When notifying the AT winning, the sub-control unit 160 displays the night stage screen again in the next variable display game in which the kaminari effect of FIG. 45 (C) is performed (see FIG. 46 (A)), and the stop button. In response to the operation of the unit 10, two bats having a plate approach from a distance, and are displayed so that the "BONUS" character can be gradually recognized (see FIG. 46 (B)), and finally fly away. Performs bat announcement effects.

  Also, from the state where the night stage screen is displayed, scroll the display screen to the right, the graveyard is enlarged, and the butler of the character digs with a scream “Ollah” and a sound effect of “Tirolo Lolone” By causing the protagonist character to appear from the grave hole at the center of the raised screen, a premiere effect that is intense for the player may be obtained (see FIG. 46C).

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

  As described above, when the first game is started by the operation of the player after notifying the AT bonus winning as described above, 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 activation of the ART is displayed (see FIG. 47A).

  The sub-control unit 160 starts the first game during the preparation of the ART, and when the composite small win (red 7 small win + 1 small win) is internally won at that time, the target 7 small red win is won. The pressing order of the stop button unit 10 necessary for this is displayed by the numeral 1. In this case, the numeral 1 meaning the first stop operation is displayed in a large circle, and "Naka" is pronounced by Dracula or the hero's voice (see FIG. 47B). It should be noted that the red 7 small win wins only if the first stop operation is correct, but if the stop operation is wrong, one small win (bonus pull-in small win) wins or loses.

  When the player correctly operates the middle stop button 10b, the sub-control unit 160 changes the character of the large circle at the center to OK and changes it to 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. 47C, the sub control unit 160 changes the characters “ANY” in the right circle to “OK”. (See FIG. 48A), and then change the character “ANY” in the left circle to “OK”. Eventually, since the small red 7 wins the prize, the “15 GET” and the acquired number are changed to “15” (see FIG. 48B). For example, if the first stop operation is mistakenly performed and the left stop button 10a of the incorrect answer is operated, the character "ANY" in the left circle is changed to "x" and information necessary for winning one small role is obtained. Notify. In this case, “blue” meaning the square (blue) of the target middle drum 2b 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 in and one small win wins, so if the bonus is inside the bonus, the winning of the bonus win can be avoided. This is a revolutionary original technology with an 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 MAX bet operation of the player, the acquired number is changed to “12”. At this time, if “RB + bell small part + 1 sheet small part” is internally won, the pressing order of the stop button unit 10 required to win the bell small part which is the target small part is displayed by numeral “1”. In this case, the numeral 1 meaning the first stop operation is displayed in a large right circle, and "Migi" is pronounced by Dracula or the hero's voice (see FIG. 49A).

  When the player correctly operates the right stop button 10c, the sub-control unit 160 changes the character of the large circle on the right into OK and changes the character into 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”. ”, And then change the character“ ANY ”in the middle circle to“ OK ”. Finally, the small bell wins and the bonus win enters the RT state of the internal winning state (high-probability replaying state; see FIGS. 26 (A) and 26 (C)). The sub control unit 160 changes the screen display of the display effect device 11 to “2GET / ART start”, the number of remaining games “50”, and the acquired number to “14” (see FIG. 49 (C)). On the other hand, for example, when the first stop operation is mistakenly operated and the middle stop button 10b is operated incorrectly, the character “ANY” in the center circle is changed to “X” and it is necessary to win one small role. Information. In this case, "white" meaning the square (white) of the right drum 2c to be aimed is displayed in an enlarged manner (not shown, but similar to FIG. 48C). If the right stop button 10c is operated at the right timing, a square (white) symbol is drawn in, one small winning combination wins, and the bonus winning combination can be avoided, so that the inside state of the bonus can be maintained. This is a revolutionary original technology with an inventive step.

  When the ART starts, (1) “RB + bell small part + 1 piece small part” or (2) “RB + red seven small part + 1 piece small part” shown in FIG. 26C is internally won, and the sub control unit 160 Informs of the operation order for winning the Bell small role or the Red 7 small role, so that the player can continue the game and obtain a large number of medals while maintaining the RT state. (3) When "RB + Replay" is internally won, any one of a plurality of types of replays always wins, so that there is no need to insert medals in the next game. It is also possible to change the winning replay combination according to the pressing order. For example, when a winning red 7 replay for production (replay in which red 7 appears to be arranged right beside) is won, a fall replay is avoided. In some cases, for example, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the pressing order such as the reverse pressing and the avoidance procedure.

  FIG. 50 is a symbol arrangement table of the drum.

  On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a turning band (not shown) on which a left drum pattern, a middle drum pattern, and a right drum pattern are drawn makes a round around the outer peripheral portion of each drum. Is attached to

  On each of the torso belts, 21 differently arranged symbols are drawn, and although it is irregular, the symbol "Blue 7," in which the bonus combination (a type 1 continuous actuation device, hereinafter referred to as "RBB") is activated. Red 7, White Bar "," Black Bar "," Bell 1 "," Bell 2 "," Bell 3 "," Cherry "," Square (Red) " “Square (blue)”, “square (white)”, “pentagon (red)”, “pentagon (blue)”, “pentagon (white)”, “replay 1”, and “replay 2” are drawn.

  FIG. 51 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drums have stopped, the main control unit 100 determines the combination display of symbols related to winning and operation on the activated line of the window 3 according to the number of game medals inserted (for three general games). Do.

  FIG. 51 (B) is an effective line when a predetermined number of game medals are inserted, and the first line (middle, middle, middle: center: left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, right drum 2c). Only one horizontal line is valid. It should be noted that also in the bonus game (RBB: at the time of operating the first-class accessory continuous operation device), the prescribed number of game medals is 3, and the valid line is exactly the same for the first line only.

  FIG. 52 is a payout table and the like when the accessory is not operated (during normal game, the specified number is 3).

  When all three drums have stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning or operation on an effective line (see FIG. 52) according to the number of inserted game medals. In this case, the number of sheets to be inserted is three, and the effective line is only one line at the center side.

  (1) Bonus role (RBB: continuous actuating device for first-class special role): Blue 7 on left drum 2a, red 7 on middle drum 2b, and white bar on right drum 2c stopped on the active line In this case, the winning number is 0 and a big bonus game (RBB game) is given thereafter. There is only one type of combination of bonus combinations, and even if the internal winning is performed independently, if the stop operation timing of the stop button unit 10 does not match, the predetermined bonus combination does not stop on the activated line. Will be carried over to The RBB game is terminated when the number of payouts (acquired number) exceeds 120, but the number of input is three and the expected number of payouts per game is less than three as described later. (For example, about two), when the RBB game is completed, the medals are almost certainly reduced in calculation (in other words, the expected value of the medals increasing in one RBB game is negative). That is, the RBB game is in a gaming state disadvantageous to the player. In the general gaming state (RT0 state: the replay winning probability is about 1 / 7.3 of a predetermined value), when the bonus role (RBB) is internally won (the condition device is activated), the replay winning probability is at least after the next game. It fluctuates and becomes a high-probability re-game state (RT1 state: replay probability of about 1 / 5.5). When this bonus combination symbol is displayed (winning) and the RBB game by the activation of the bonus combination is completed (operation completed), the replay winning probability changes and returns to the initial state (RT0 state). That is, the player plays the variable display game in any of the RT0 state, the RT1 state, and the RBB game state. Note that this initial state (a state in which the replay probability does not fluctuate) is a transitional state (a game preparation state) until the state shifts to the RT1 state, and rarely enters the RT0 state in an actual game. Shipped in RT1 state. Similarly, since the internally won bonus combination rarely wins, the player rarely plays the BB game (see FIG. 53 (A)).

  (2) 1st small role (FR1: 1st target small role): Any of (Bell1 / Bell2 / Bell3) design on left drum 2a, (Bell1 / Bell2 / Bell3) on middle drum 2b This is the role name when any of the symbols and any of the symbols on the right drum 2c (bell 1 / bell 2 / bell 3) are stopped on the activated line, and the acquired number (payout number) is nine. When the first small role is internally won in the role lottery, the condition device of FR1 (fruit 1) stands up and operates. Assuming that the FR1 has nine combinations (3 × 3 × 3) and has been internally won independently, the predetermined bell symbol is displayed on the activated line regardless of the stop operation sequence and timing of the stop button unit 10. The symbols are arranged so as to stop and always win (the bell symbol is displayed in a straight line in the center). In most cases, in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, the first small win is simultaneously elected with a single small win (inhibition small win) for controlling the pressing order. The first target small winning combination is a small winning combination to be won, and is won when the pushing order is correct, which is advantageous for the player. On the other hand, the pressing order is incorrect, and the small obstruction wins or loses. When the assist function is activated, the operation order of the stop button unit 10 for winning the first target small role is notified.

  (3) Second small role (FR2: second target small role): When the second small role is won, one of the symbols (bell 1 / bell 2 / bell 3) on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b on the middle drum 2b (Bell 1 / Bell 2 / Bell 3) Any one of the symbols (Bell 1 / Bell 2 / Bell 3) is stopped and displayed at the bottom of the right drum 2c. It becomes nine. However, on the active line, for example, the replay 2 is stopped on the left drum 2a, the bell 3 is stopped on the middle drum 2b, and the square (blue) is stopped on the right drum 2c (see FIG. 52B). When the second small role is internally won in the role drawing, the condition device of FR2 (fruit 2) stands up and operates. FR2 has nine combinations (3 × 3 × 3), and assuming that it has been internally won independently, the predetermined symbol is stopped on the activated line regardless of the stop operation sequence and timing of the stop button unit 10. The symbols are arranged so as to always win (the bell symbols are displayed in a straight line going down to the right). As will be described later, in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, in most cases, the second small win is simultaneously elected with one small win (inhibition small win) for controlling the pressing order. Similarly, the second target small winning combination is a small winning combination to be won, and is won when the pushing order is correct, which is advantageous for the player. On the other hand, the pressing order is incorrect, and the small obstruction wins or loses. When the assist function is activated, the operation order of the stop button unit 10 for winning the second target small role is notified.

  (4) Third small role (FR3: third target small role): When the third small role is won, one of the symbols (Bell 1 / Bell 2 / Bell 3) in the lower row of the left drum 2a or the middle row of the middle drum 2b (Bell 1 / Bell 2 / Bell 3) Any one of the (Bell 1 / Bell 2 / Bell 3) symbols are stopped and displayed on the upper stage of the right drum 2c. It becomes nine. However, on the active line, for example, a pentagon (white) on the left drum 2a, a bell 3 on the middle drum 2b, and a replay 1 on the right drum 2c (see FIG. 52 (C)). When the third small role is internally won in the role lottery, the condition device of FR3 (fruit 3) stands up and operates. Assuming that the FR3 has nine combinations (3 × 3 × 3) and that the single symbol is internally won, the predetermined symbol is stopped on the activated line regardless of the stop operation sequence and timing of the stop button unit 10. The symbols are arranged so as to always win (the bell symbol is displayed in a straight line at the upper right). As will be described later, in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, in most cases, the third small win is simultaneously won with a single small win (inhibition small win) for controlling the pressing order. Similarly, the third target small winning combination is a small winning combination to be won, and is won when the pushing order is correct, which is advantageous for the player. On the other hand, the pressing order is incorrect, and the small obstruction wins or loses. When the assist function is activated, the operation order of the stop button unit 10 for winning the first target small role is notified.

  (5) One small win (inhibition small win for pushing order control: FR4 to FRn): a small win (bonus inhibition small win) to prevent the above-mentioned bonus win from being drawn in. Payout number) is one. Further, when one of the first to third target small wins is simultaneously won and the pressing order is incorrect, a small win (bonus obstruction small win) for not pulling in each target small win. Note that n is an arbitrary integer, which is determined as necessary in design, and as a result, the type of one small win is n + 3.

  (6) Middle Cherry Combination (FRn + 1): Cherry symbol on left drum 2a, role name in middle drum 2b and right drum 2c when (ANY symbol) stops on the active line, and the number of acquired cards is two Become. When the middle tier cherry wins internally in the lottery, one condition device of FRn + 1 (fruit n + 1) operates. Even if the middle cherry wins internally and the player operates the left stop button 10a in the vicinity of Blue 7 while the bonus win is internally won, no. Without stopping the blue 7 symbol of No. 10 on the active line, No. 7 pentagon (blue) or No. 7 Since the pentagon (white) of twelve is stopped to win the middle-stage cherry role, the bonus role is not won.

  (7) Lower Cherry role (FRn + 2): Black bar (Cherry on lower) for left drum 2a, any of (Bell 1 / Bell 2 / Bell 3) design for middle drum, (Any design) for right drum 2c This is the role name when the player stops on the line, and the acquired number is two. When the lower cherry combination is internally won in the lottery, one condition device of FRn + 1 (fruit n + 2) operates. Even if the lower cherry role is internally won while the bonus role is internally won and the player operates the left stop button 10a near blue 7, no. Without stopping the blue 7 symbol of No. 10 on the active line, No. 7 pentagon (blue) or No. 7 Since the pentagon (white) of twelve is stopped to win the lower cherry role, the bonus role is not won.

  (8) Replay (replay): This is a role name when the replay 1 or replay 2 symbols are aligned on the activated line on three drums, for which no medal is acquired. When an internal win is made, an RP flag is set in the flag area, and even when the RP flag is won alone or simultaneously with the bonus combination, the re-game is always won and activated. The replay has eight combinations of symbols, and the player can operate the start lever 9 to perform the next game without inserting medals. It should be noted that even if the replay is activated, it does not trigger a change in RT (winning probability of replay).

  (9) Red 7 replay (replay): This is the role name when the red 7 symbols are aligned on the activated line on the three drums, for which no medals are obtained. When an internal prize is won, a red 7RP flag is set in the flag area, but it is always simultaneously won with another replay role (not shown), and the red 7 replay is won only when the pressing order is correct and the operation timing is appropriate. If you make a mistake, one of the other replays will always win. Even if a winning combination is won at the same time as a bonus combination, one of the replays always wins and operates. It is used to clearly indicate to the player that the assist bonus (generally referred to as “third bonus”) has been won. Red 7 replay is equivalent to the conventional big bonus. It should be noted that even if the red 7 replay is activated, it does not trigger a change in RT (winning probability of replay).

  (10) Blue 7 replay (replay): This is a role name when blue 7 is arranged on the left drum 2a and red 7 is arranged on the other two drums on the activated line, and no medal is obtained. When an internal win is made, the blue 7RP flag is set in the flag area, but it is always won simultaneously with other replay roles (not shown). If you make a mistake, one of the other replays will always win. Even if a winning combination is won at the same time as a bonus combination, one of the replays always wins and operates. It is used to clearly indicate to the player that the assist bonus (generally referred to as “third bonus”) has been won. Red 7 replay is equivalent to the conventional big bonus. It should be noted that even if the Blue 7 replay is activated, it does not become a trigger for fluctuation of the RT (winning probability of the replay).

  The present embodiment describes the basic configuration, and it is possible to provide not only the winning combination described above, but also, for example, a rare small combination such as a watermelon or a chance, and other special replay combinations as necessary. . If these rare small wins are internally won, the additional lottery of the AT may be performed, or a plurality of sets of ATs may be provided by aligning the red 7 replay role during the AT by the lottery by the sub-control unit.

  FIG. 52 (D) is an explanatory diagram of the push order small combination in which the bell small combination (first to third small combination: target small combination) wins when the double press order is correct.

  The pushing small part (middle 1) is composed of a plurality of types of bell small parts (first to third small parts) whose purpose is to make a prize, and a single piece of small part group for the purpose of inhibiting the prize of the bell small part. One small winning combination (for example, red 7-square-pentagon, etc.) and a plurality of other single small winning combinations (for example, red 7 -Any of bells 1 to 3 -a pentagon or the like) is a small winning part (see FIG. 52 (D)). The description of the other one small role is omitted in FIG. 52 (A).

  When the variable display game is started, the main control unit 100 internally wins one of the plurality of pressing order small wins by lottery, and in accordance with the lottery result and the operation of the stop button unit 10, the left drum 2a and the middle drum The stop control of the drum unit 2 is performed so as to stop the 2b and the right drum 2c (a plurality of symbol rows) at predetermined positions. The ROM 101 stores the operation sequence of the stop switch as operation sequence data (in this case, middle → left → right or 2-1-3) in association with a plurality of selected pressing order small combinations. Further, the ROM 101 stores nine payouts (predetermined number) of the Bell small hand, one payout of the small win, and one payout of another small win.

  The main control unit 100 recognizes or confirms the operation order for winning the bell small winning combination in the internally-pressed pushing small winning combination (in this case, middle → left → right). In addition, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table for all the drum units 2 (the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c) until the stop operation becomes possible, and performs the stop operation. (See Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-040355). The sliding frame number table is a stop control table in which the sliding frame number data for moving the drum unit 2 in the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the stop operation position and stopping is stored.

  For example, the middle drum 2b No. When the middle stop button 10b of the correct answer pressing order is first stopped when the replay 2 symbol of No. 13 is on the active line, the main control unit 100 moves the middle drum 2b by four frames and performs the No. 13 replay. 9 is controlled so that the bell 1 symbol stops. No. of the left drum 2a. When the blue stop symbol 10 is on the active line and the left stop button 10a in the correct answer pressing order is secondly stopped, the main control unit 100 moves the left drum 2a by one frame and the No. By controlling the bell 3 symbol of No. 9 to stop, the first small win is in the tempered state. Thereafter, when the right drum 2c is subjected to the third stop operation, any of the bell 1 to bell 3 symbols is stopped on the activated line, and the first small win (target small win) wins. When the right stop button 10c in the incorrect pushing sequence is operated for the second stop, one of the square symbol and the pentagon symbol is stopped on the effective line of the right drum 2c, and the other one small-sized hand is put into the temporary state. After that, the other small piece wins. In addition, it is also possible to make another one small winning a prize or a loss. Note that, as an example, in the second small win, the replay-bell-square symbol stops on the activated line (see FIG. 52 (B)). In the third small win, the square-bell-replay symbol stops on the activated line (see FIG. 52 (C)).

  On the other hand, in a state where all the drum units 2 are rotating, the left drum 2a is no. When the left stop button 10a in the wrong push sequence is operated to perform the first stop operation while the blue 7 symbol of No. 10 is on the active line, the main control unit 100 moves the left drum 2a by three frames and performs No. Control is performed so that the pentagonal (blue) symbol 7 stops. In addition, No. of the left drum 2a. Although it is possible to stop the bell 3 symbol of No. 9, the pentagonal (blue) symbol with a higher priority is stopped. In the subsequent second stop operation and third stop operation, one small win wins or loses. Since the same applies to the right drum 2c, the description is omitted.

  FIG. 53 and FIG. 54 are conceptual diagrams showing a game state transition diagram and lottery probabilities of various combinations. FIG. 53 (B) shows the lottery probability at the time of the general game in the initial state, FIG. 54 (B) shows the lottery probability inside the RBB, and FIG. 54 (B) shows the lottery probability during the RBB (during one type of BB game). . Note that the game state is maintained even if the step setting value is re-entered.

  In FIG. 53 (A), a general game (described as “general game” in the figure) starts from the game following the end of the big bonus game (RBB game). The replay probability (probability of winning the replay) in this general game is about 1 / 7.3 (8978/65536) (initial replay state: a state in which the replay probability does not change).

  In the general game, when the RBB as a bonus combination is internally won and the RBB wins in that game, the RBB game starts from the next game. The RBB game ends when the number of medals paid out exceeds a predetermined number of 120, and a normal replay state in which the probability of winning the replay combination from the next game is low. It should be noted that the general game → the RBB is internally won → the RBB prize → the payout of more than 120 RBB games → the RBB game is completed → the general game is rarely performed. Medium game). The general game can be said to be in a so-called “preparation state” before the transition to the inside middle game. The number of RBBs is 2000, and the number of RBBs and one small winning combination (RBB winning inhibition small winning) is simultaneously won is 2558. Only the former can make the RBB win at the time of internal winning. However, if you do not aim at the blue 7 symbol, the red 7 symbol and the white bar symbol at the timing of internal winning, you will not win a prize, and even if you win or win, the game medal will only decrease, so giving a prize is an advantage for the player There is no.

  On the other hand, even if the RBB is internally won in the general game, if the winning of the RBB is avoided, the bonus combination is in the high probability replaying state (RT1) where the internally won (inside the RBB) is won (see the hatched portion in FIG. 53 (A)). ). In the RT1 state, there is no loss (unwinning) as described later, so that the player can play the variable display game in a very advantageous gaming state. In the RT1 state, the number of misplacements may be set to about 1 to 10, and a freeze effect may be performed when the misfits are drawn with a probability of 1/65536 to 10/65536 to add a large amount of the assist function. In this case, the losing becomes a freeze trigger or a freeze determining role.

  At the time of the general game (see FIG. 53B), the sum of RBB is 4558 (2000 + 2558), and the winning probability is 4558/65536. The numbers of the first small win, the second small win and the third small win are 17000, respectively, and the winning probability is 17000/65536. The winning probability based on the sum is 51000/65536. In this case, any of the first to third small wins is internally won with a probability of about 78%. However, basically, a plurality of different one small wins are simultaneously elected for the pressing order control, but the first small win to the third small win may be independently won. The number of middle cherry roles is 250, the number of lower cherry roles is 750, and the number of replay roles is 8978. However, basically, a plurality of different replay roles are simultaneously won.

  In the inside of the RBB (see FIG. 54 (A)), since the lottery of the RBB is not performed, the winning probability is zero. Note that “inside the RBB” means a state in which the RBB flag is set and the RBB has already hit and carried over. During this RBB, a high-probability replaying state (RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay has fluctuated. The lottery area of 2000 in which the RBB is individually won as shown in FIG. 53 (B) becomes a new replay winning area. Therefore, 10978 obtained by adding the number 2000 to the number 8978 of the original replay becomes the number, the winning probability of the replay is 10978/65536 (approximately 1/6), and the non-election becomes 0. That is, in the inside of the RBB with no loss, the assist function is activated to notify the player of the pressing order for winning the first small role to the third small role (9 target small roles), thereby providing the player with The medals are obtained efficiently. The number 2558 of the area where the RBB and one small win simultaneously win is a winning area of only one small win. Others are the same, and the description is omitted.

  When the expected value when the assist function is activated in the internal middle game is calculated, the probability of winning the first small role to the third small role is 51000/65536, and the number of increase is 6 (9 payouts-3 throws in). ), 4.67 cards / game. On the other hand, the probability of winning two cherry roles is 1000/65536, and the number of increase is -1 (2 payouts-3 throws in), so -0.03 / game. The probability of winning one small win is 2558/65536, and the number of increase is -2 (1 payout-3 inserts), so -0.08 / game. Even if the replay is won, the next game can be performed without inserting a medal, so that there is no change in the expected value. Therefore, if the AT is activated in the internal middle game and all the small roles including the first to third small roles are won, the average is increased by about 4.56 sheets / game, It is possible to achieve the highest net number increase in the No. 5 machine.

  In the RBB game (see FIG. 54 (B)), the biggest difference from the internal middle game is that the first small role, the second small role, and the third small role are simultaneously won, and the number of characters is 17000. It has become. That is, in the internal medium game, the winning probability based on the sum of the first small win, the second small win, and the third small win in which the winning area is dispersed is 51000/65536, whereas in the RBB game, the winning area is Overlap, the winning probability has decreased to 17000/65536, which is 1/3. Of the remaining number of 34000 (51000-17000), the number of 30000 and the number of replays of 10978 are lost in the RBB game (non-election: the number of 40978), and the other number of 4000 is one as an increasing part. This is the area where the small role is won. However, the number of replays may be set and lottery may be performed. In other words, in the internal middle game, since the winning areas of the first small win to the third small win are dispersed, the target small wins 1 to 9 with the number of payouts are not simultaneously won from each other. In the game, the winning areas of the first small win to the third small win match (or overlap), so that the target small wins 1 to 9 with nine payouts are simultaneously won. As a result, in the RBB game, the game medals decrease or do not increase.

  When the expected value of the number of games until the end of the RBB game is calculated, the probability of the first small role to the third small role being simultaneously won is 17000/65536, and the number of payouts is nine. .33 payouts. The probability of winning two cherry roles is 1000/65536, and the number of payouts is two, so the payout is 0.03 per game. The probability of winning one small win is 6558/65536 and the payout number is one, so the payout is 0.10 per game. The expected payout value per game obtained by adding these is 2.46 cards (resulting in a reduction of 0.54 cards / game). Since the RBB game ends with a payout of more than 120 cards, the game ends in about 49 games on average, so that one RBB game is calculated to decrease by 26.4 cards.

  FIG. 55 is a conceptual diagram of the winning area of the small winning combination. It should be noted that the winning regions of the RBB and the replaying role are omitted.

  The upper part of FIG. 55 (A) shows the winning area of the small win in the general game and the RBB inside middle game (see FIG. 53 (A)), and the lower part shows the small win in the RBB game (see FIG. 53 (A)). The winning area is shown. When the probability of winning the replay role (replaying role) in the general game is a predetermined probability (1 / 7.3), a bonus inside medium game (a symbol display game in which the carryover means carries over the internal winning state of the bonus role). Has a high probability higher than the predetermined probability. This game state is referred to as a high-probability re-game state.

  The random number value used for the role lottery always appears only once in one cycle in the range of 0 to 65535, and the main control unit 100 extracts one random value at the timing of the start operation. The upper figure shows that when the extracted random number value is in the range of n1 to n2-1, the first small win is internally won, and when the extracted random number value is in the range of n2 to n3-1, the second small win is internally won. Indicates that the third small win is internally won in the range of n3 to n4-1. As described above, the first to third small wins simultaneously form a plurality of one small wins and a plurality of other one small wins, thereby forming a push order small win (FIG. 55). (The same applies to the upper figures of (B) to (D)). If the pushing order is correct, the target small role Bell small role (the appearance is a straight line with a bell pattern. However, it can also be V-shaped or inverted V-shaped) wins, and one small role and the other one are incorrect. The small role wins or loses. That is, in the symbol display game in which the internal winning state of the bonus combination is carried over, the main control unit 100 sets the probability that the replay combination is won with a high probability higher than the predetermined probability, and sets the plurality of pushing sequences. The lottery of the winning combination is executed so that each of them wins separately.

  In the lower diagram of FIG. 55 (A), the first small win is internally won when the extracted random number is in the range of n1 to n2-1, and within that range, the first small win and the second small win, the first small win and the first small win This indicates that the third small role and all of the first to third small roles are simultaneously won. Then, a plurality of one small wins and a plurality of other one small wins that do not fall within the range of n1 to n2-1 are pushed out, and one small win is won in the range of n2 to n2 + α, and n2 + α + 1 to n2 + α + 1. The main control unit 100 performs a lottery by using a lottery table in which the probability of a loss (non-winning) in the range of n4 is increased, and as a result, an expected value of the number of payouts per game is input per game. The number is set to be less than the number. In other words, the main control unit 100 controls the bonus game such that the expected value of increasing medals (game media) in one bonus game is negative.

  As a feature of the present invention, the lottery table used in the bonus game has the same or larger number of small wins as compared to the lottery table used in the general game and the RBB inside middle game. In order to win the small wins separately (or in a distributed manner), in the former, at least a part of a plurality of push small wins are simultaneously won and unwinned. Lottery with increasing probability. In other words, in the latter, a lottery area is formed such that target small wins (small wins for winning purposes) are not simultaneously won. The point is that a lottery area is formed.

  In the lower diagram of FIG. 55 (B), the first small role of the pushing small combination is internally won when the extracted random number value is in the range of n1 to n2-1, and the first small combination and the non-pushing small combination are within that range. The second small role, the first small role, and the third small role of the non-pushed order small role, and all the first to third small roles are simultaneously won. As a result, there is no need to push out a plurality of one small wins and a plurality of other one small wins, and it is possible to make all the areas where the second small win and the third small win have been elected unrecognized. become.

  In the lower diagram of FIG. 55 (C), when the extracted random number value is in the range of n1 to n2-1, the first small role of the pushing small role is internally won, the number of the third small role is equal, and the first small role and the first small role are equal. This indicates that the second small role, the third small role, and the second small role of the pushing order small role are simultaneously won. This shows that the extrusion amount α and the loss area have increased.

  In the lower diagram of FIG. 55 (D), the first small role of the push order small win is internally won when the extracted random number is in the range of n1 to n2-1, and the second small win is simultaneously won in a part of the small win. In some parts, the third small role is simultaneously won, and in the part where the second small role was won, the second small part and the third small part are simultaneously won, and in the other part, only the third small part Indicates that the winner will be elected. This shows that the extrusion amount α and the loss area have increased.

  FIG. 56 is a conceptual diagram of the winning area of the small winning combination. It should be noted that the winning regions of the RBB and the replaying role are omitted.

  The upper part of FIG. 56 (A) shows the winning area of the small role in the general game and the RBB inside middle game (see FIG. 53 (A)), and the lower figure shows the small role in the RBB game (see FIG. 53 (A)). The winning area is shown. When the probability of winning the replay role (replaying role) in the general game is a predetermined probability (1 / 7.3), a bonus inside medium game (a symbol display game in which the carryover means carries over the internal winning state of the bonus role). Has a high probability higher than the predetermined probability. This game state is referred to as a high-probability re-game state. The random number value used for the role lottery always appears only once in one cycle in the range of 0 to 65535, and the main control unit 100 extracts one random value at the timing of the start operation. The upper figure shows that the first small win is internally won when the extracted random number value is in the range of n1 to n2-1, and the second small win is internally won when the extracted random number value is in the range of n2 to n3-1. I have.

  In the lower diagram of FIG. 56A, the first small win is internally won when the extracted random number is in the range of n1 to n2-1, and within that range, the first small win, the second small win, and the first small win are set. This indicates that only the role will be won. Then, a plurality of one small wins and a plurality of other one small wins that do not fall within the range of n1 to n2-1 are pushed out, and one small win is won in the range of n2 to n2 + α, and n2 + α + 1 to n2 + α + 1. The main control unit 100 performs a lottery using a lottery table in which the probability of a loss (non-winning) in the range of n3 is increased, and as a result, the expected value of the number of payouts per game is set to the number of input per game. It is less than. In other words, the main control unit 100 controls the bonus game such that the expected value of increasing medals (game media) in one bonus game is negative.

  In the lower diagram of FIG. 56 (B), the first small role of the pressing order small combination is internally won when the extracted random number value is in the range of n1 to n2-1, and within that range, the first small combination and the non-pushing small combination are small. Indicates that only the second small combination and the first small combination are elected. As a result, there is no need to push out a plurality of one small wins and a plurality of other one small wins, and it is possible to make all the areas in which the second small win has been elected unreasonable.

  In the lower diagram of FIG. 56 (C), when the extracted random number value is in the range of n1 to n2-1, the first small role of the pressing order small winning is internally won, and the second small winning is simultaneously won in a part thereof, and the second small winning is simultaneously won. This indicates that the second small win has been won in a part of the winning area of the small win, and the α of the extruded portion and the loss area have been increased.

  In the lower diagram of FIG. 56 (D), when the extracted random number value is in the range of n1 to n2-1, the first small role of the pressing order small winning is internally won, and the second small winning is simultaneously won in a part thereof, and the second small winning is simultaneously won. The second small winning role is won in a part of the winning area of the small winning portion, and the push-out α is increased, indicating that there is no loss region.

  When the gaming machine according to the present invention is described in detail, a game can be started by setting three medals (the number of bets) for one game. The operation of the start lever 9 rotates the drum unit 2, the operation of the stop button unit 10 stops the drum unit 2, the display result is derived and displayed, and one game ends. Depending on the display result of the drum section 2, a prize of RBB, a small role, or a re-game role is generated, but it is also lost. By operating the start lever 9, it is determined in advance whether or not to allow a winning in the lottery, and a winning flag is set. When the small role wins, a predetermined number of medals are paid out. When an RBB symbol is displayed and a prize is won in the general game or the RBB inside game, the gaming state shifts to the RBB game (special gaming state). The total number of medals paid out in the RBB game is accumulated and counted. In this example, a predetermined number of 120 coins is set for the RBB game, and the RBB game is ended when it is determined that the total number of medals paid out in the RBB game exceeds 120 coins. If the won RBB does not win, the game after the next game is an inside RBB game, and the RBB is in an internally won state. The winning probability of the replaying role in the general game is 1 / 7.3 (predetermined probability), but in the RBB inside medium game, the game is in a high probability replaying state (higher probability than the predetermined probability). The first small role, the second small role, and the third small role, which are a plurality of pushing order small roles, are composite small roles in which the target small role and the inhibition small role are simultaneously won, respectively. The winning areas of the roles are all different (or at least partially different). Using this lottery table, it is determined whether or not a winning is permitted in a lottery using random numbers. In the lottery table used in the RBB game, at least a part of the winning area of the first small win, the second small win, and the third small win is the same, and the first small win, the second small win, the second small win, and the second win Either the small part or the third small part is won at the same time. Note that, in terms of design, the numbers of the first small combination to the third small combination are set to be the same, all the winning regions are made different in the general game or the RBB inside game, and all the winning regions are made the same in the RBB game. It is desirable to do. Then, in the RBB game, the area of non-winning is increased compared to the middle game in the RBB, and the expected value of the number of payouts per one game of the RBB is set to less than the number of coins per game.

  In the RBB game, the conventional method is to increase the winning probability (number) of small wins. However, in the case of the present invention, in the general game, the RBB internal middle game, and the RBB game, the ratio (number) in which the small wins are generally won is the same (or may be slightly increased). In the RBB game, the winning area of the composite small win is overlapped to create a non-winning area. Thus, during the period from the start to the end of one RBB game, the main control unit 100 controls the RBB game so that the expected value of the increase of the game medium becomes negative. With reference to FIGS. 54A and 54B, the ratio of the small wins overall being won means that the first small win is a total of four (1) target small win and inhibition small wins 1-3 If it is assumed that the number is 17000, the number of the target minor role is 17000, the number of the minor role 1 is 17000, the number of the minor role 2 is 17000, and the number of the minor role 3 is The number is 17000, which is 68000 in total. If the same applies to the second small combination and the third small combination, the total number is tripled to 204000. In the RBB game, the target small win of the first small win, the target small win of the second small win, and the target small win of the third small win are simultaneously won. In addition, in order to prevent the same inhibition small role from overlapping in the same lottery area, the inhibition small roles 1 to 3 of the first small combination, the inhibition small combinations 1 to 3 of the second small combination, and the inhibition small combination 1 of the third small combination 1 ３3 are simultaneously won, and the remaining obstructing winning combinations are pushed out to other lottery areas and set as numbers.

  FIG. 57 is a diagram illustrating an example of the small role explicit identification information.

  FIG. 57A shows only one type of bell symbol as small combination explicit identification information. FIG. 57 (B) shows three types of Bell 1 design, Bell 2 design and Bell 3 design as small combination explicit identification information. Note that the small combination explicit identification information is identification information for clearly indicating to the player that the small combination has won, and there may be only one type or two or more types (see FIG. 57B). There are three types). The Bell 1 to Bell 3 designs have the same outer shape of the bell design based on yellow, and differ in that the color of the ball portion is red, blue, and yellow. Therefore, the player looks like the same symbol (also referred to as a similar symbol or a very similar symbol).

  When the push order bell small role (generally, a small role composed of a target small role and an obstruction small role) is internally won, the stop button unit 10 causes the target small role to win (for example, middle right left) The main controller 100 stops and displays the symbols constituting the target small hand on the winning line, and also displays the bell symbol (small hand explicit identification information) in a straight line (FIG. 57 (C)). In the case of this figure, the pay line and the line displayed in a straight line are the same, but the line that displays the bell symbol in a straight line is the upper or lower line, the diagonal up or diagonal down, so that it is different from the pay line Is also good.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 57 (D), if the stop button part 10 is operated in a procedure for winning the target small role (for example, the order of the middle right and left) when the pressing order bell small role is internally won, the main The control unit 100 stops and displays the replay 2 symbol, the bell 3 symbol, and the square (blue) symbol of the symbol constituting the target small role on the winning line, and also displays the bell 1 symbol, the bell 3 symbol, and the bell 1 symbol ( The small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line obliquely downward to the right (see FIG. 57D). In other words, although the winning symbol of the target small role appears to be inconsistent, the bell small role explicit identification information appears to be aligned, so that the player has no discomfort at all.

  FIG. 58 is a diagram illustrating an example of the replay combination explicit identification information.

  FIG. 58 (A) shows only one type of replay symbol as the replay combination explicit identification information. FIG. 58 (B) shows three types of replay 1 symbol, replay 2 symbol and replay 3 symbol as the replay combination explicit identification information. The re-gaming combination explicit identification information is identification information for clearly indicating to the player that the re-gaming combination has won, and there may be only one type or a plurality of types of two or more types (FIG. 58 (B )) Are three types). The Replay 1 to Replay 3 symbols are based on light blue. The replay 1 design and the replay 2 design are different in that the face direction of the character and the bubble position are different (that is, the design shapes are different). In the replay 1 symbol, the character is facing left and the bubble is on the left, whereas in the replay 2 symbol, the character is facing right and the bubble is on the right. The replay 1 symbol and the replay 3 symbol are different depending on whether the color of the character of Replay is black or white (that is, the colors are different). Therefore, the player looks like the same symbol (also referred to as a similar symbol or a very similar symbol).

  If the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation (for example, the middle left is pushed forward or the left and right middle shears are pressed) in the case where the replaying game is internally won, the main control unit 100 sets the winning line on the winning line. The replay symbol is stopped and displayed, and the replay symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line (see FIG. 58 (C)). In the case of this figure, the winning line and the line displayed in a straight line are the same, but the line displaying the replay symbol in a straight line is the upper or lower stage, the diagonally ascending or descending, and different from the winning line. Is also good. When the re-game player wins, the main control unit 100 turns on the insertion number LED 4a. For example, if three games have been won by the re-game combination, the same number of three games are turned on. Then, when the start lever 9 is operated, the main control unit 100 starts the next game.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 58 (D), when the replaying game is internally won, the stop button unit 10 is operated in a predetermined operation order (the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation, the left first operation). The main control unit 100 stops and displays the black bar design, the square (white) design, and the square (blue) design on the winning line, and displays the replay 3 design, the replay 1 design, and the replay 2 design in a straight line in the upper row. (See FIG. 58D). In other words, although the winning symbol of the re-gaming combination is visible, the re-gaming combination explicit identification information appears to be aligned, so that the player does not feel any discomfort.

  FIG. 59 is a diagram illustrating an example of the replay combination explicit identification information.

  FIG. 59 (A) shows an example of a so-called bell replay winning mode. If the stop button unit 10 is operated in a predetermined operation sequence (the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation, that is, the left first operation) when the bell re-game player 1 is internally won, the main control unit 100 Displays and stops a pentagonal (white) symbol, a square (white) symbol, a cherry symbol on the winning line, and displays a bell symbol (any one of the bell 1 symbol to the bell 3 symbol) in a straight line in the upper row. (See FIG. 59A). In other words, although the winning symbol of the Bell replay is visible, the small role explicit identification information appears to be aligned, so that the player wins the small role despite the winning of the replay. feel. Therefore, the main control unit 100 delays the lighting of the inserted number LED 4a by operating a timer, although it is actually a prize of a re-game combination. For example, the main control unit 100 starts timing (freeze-on) when the bell re-gaming combination 1 wins, and turns on the inserted number LED 4a when 20 seconds (predetermined time) elapses. On the other hand, if either the max bet button 8 or the start lever 9 is operated during the timing, the main control unit 100 stops the timing (freezes off) and turns on the inserted number LED 4a. For example, if three games have been won by the re-game combination, the same number of three games are turned on. Then, when the start lever 9 is operated, the main control unit 100 starts the next game. As an effect, when the player who feels that the small portion wins operates the max bet button 8, the main control unit 100 turns on all the insertion number LEDs 4a, so that the game is performed in the same familiar operation procedure as when the small portion wins. It becomes possible. In a state where the external output signal 3 of the external centralized terminal plate 170 indicating that the assist function is being activated is ON, the bell replaying game is won by the left first operation (left middle right or middle left and right) and the small role explicit identification information Are aligned, the main control unit 100 turns off the external output signal 3 and notifies the hall computer of the end of the activation of the assist function.

  If the stop button unit 10 is operated in another predetermined operation sequence (the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop operation, that is, the right first operation) when the bell re-game combination 1 is internally won, the main control is performed. The unit 100 stops and displays the three replay symbols, the replay one symbol, and the replay two symbol on the winning line, and displays a similar replay symbol (only the same replay symbol may be displayed) in the middle line (FIG. 59). (B)). In particular, when the left stop button 10a is operated by the second stop operation and the middle stop button 10b is operated by the third stop operation after the right first operation, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 3 of the external centralized terminal board 170. And outputs an AT signal. This can indicate that the assist function has been activated. Although the similar replay symbol stops in a straight line in the middle, it may stop diagonally downward or diagonally upward.

  When the bell re-gamer 1 is internally won, the stop button unit 10 is operated in another predetermined operation sequence different from that of the first stop operation (the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop operation, that is, the middle first operation), and the pull-in range is set. If there are seven red symbols, the main control unit 100 stops the seven red symbols on the winning line. When the left stop button 10a is operated by the second stop operation and there are seven red symbols in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 stops the seven red symbols on the winning line. If the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop operation and there are seven red symbols in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 stops the seven red symbols on the winning line and displays the seven red symbols in a straight line in the middle. (See FIG. 59 (C)). In other words, when the pressing order is the correct procedure in the middle and left and right, and the seven red symbols are within the pull-in range, the red seven replay combination can be won. Then, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 1 of the external centralized terminal board 170 and outputs a pseudo BB signal. On the other hand, if there are no seven red symbols in the pull-in range by the third stop operation, one of the bell symbols is stopped (seven red symbols, seven red symbols, bell symbol). Also in this case, the replay combination wins, but the external output signal 1 of the external centralized terminal board 170 is not turned on. If the right stop button 10c of the incorrect answer procedure is operated by the second stop operation in a state where the red 7 symbol is stopped in the middle stage of the middle drum 2b, and the red 7 symbol exists in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 wins. Stop 7 red symbols on the line. However, even if the left stop button 10a is operated by the third stop operation and the red 7 symbol exists in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 does not stop the red 7 symbol on the winning line, and does not stop any of the bell symbols. (Bell design, red 7 design, red 7 design). Also in this case, the replay combination wins, but the external output signal 1 of the external centralized terminal board 170 is not turned on. When the bell re-game player 1 is internally won, if the stop button unit 10 is operated in the middle first and there are no red 7 symbols in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 stops the three replay symbols on the winning line. Let it. In the subsequent stop operation, the replay 2 symbol is stopped and displayed in the middle of the left drum 2a and the replay 1 symbol is stopped and displayed in the middle of the right drum 2c, and a similar replay symbol (however, only the same replay symbol may be used) is aligned with the middle row. (See FIG. 59D).

  FIG. 60 is a diagram illustrating an example of the replay combination explicit identification information.

  Similarly, FIG. 60A is an example of a so-called bell replay winning structure. When the bell re-game combination 2 is internally won, if the stop button unit 10 is operated in a predetermined operation order (the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation, that is, the left first operation), the main control unit 100 Stops and displays a square (white) symbol, a cherry symbol, and a pentagonal (blue) symbol on the winning line, and displays a bell symbol (any one of the bell 1 symbol to the bell 3 symbol) in a straight line at the bottom. (See FIG. 60A). In other words, although the winning symbol of the Bell replay is visible, the small role explicit identification information appears to be aligned, so that the player wins the small role despite the winning of the replay. feel. Therefore, the main control unit 100 delays the lighting of the insertion number LED 4a by operating a timer, similarly to the above-described bell re-game combination 1. For example, the main control unit 100 starts timing when the bell re-gaming combination 1 wins, and turns on the inserted number LED 4a when a predetermined time has elapsed. On the other hand, if either the max bet button 8 or the start lever 9 is operated during the timing, the main control unit 100 stops the timing and turns on the insertion number LED 4a. For example, if three games have been won by the re-game combination, the same number of three games are turned on. Then, when the start lever 9 is operated, the main control unit 100 starts the next game. As an effect, when the player who feels that the small portion wins operates the max bet button 8, the main control unit 100 turns on all the insertion number LEDs 4a, so that the game can be performed by the familiar operation at the time of the small portion win. . In addition, when the external output signal 3 is ON and the left re-playing operation is won by the left first operation (middle left or right and left) and the small combination explicit identification information is aligned, the main control unit 100 outputs the external output. The signal 3 is turned off to notify the hall computer of the end of the activation of the assist function.

  If the stop button unit 10 is operated in another predetermined operation order (right first) when the bell replaying game 2 is internally won, the main control unit 100 places three replay symbols and one replay symbol on the winning line. In addition, the replay 2 symbols are stopped and displayed, and the similar replay symbols are displayed in the middle straight line (see FIG. 60 (B)). In particular, when the left stop button 10a is operated by the second stop operation and the middle stop button 10b is operated by the third stop operation after the right first operation, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 3 of the external centralized terminal board 170. And outputs an AT signal. This can indicate that the assist function has been activated. Although the similar replay symbol stops in a straight line in the middle, it may stop diagonally downward or diagonally upward.

  When the bell re-game player 2 is internally won, if the stop button unit 10 is operated in another predetermined operation sequence (medium first operation) and there are seven red symbols in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 wins. Stop 7 red symbols on the line. When the left stop button 10a is operated by the second stop operation and the blue 7 symbol exists in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 stops the blue 7 symbol on the winning line. When the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop operation and there are seven red symbols in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 stops the seven red symbols on the winning line and also has seven symbols (blue seven symbols, red seven symbols). The pattern and the seven red symbols are displayed in a straight line in the middle (see FIG. 60 (C)). In other words, the blue 7 replay combination can be awarded when the pressing order is the correct answer procedure in the middle and left and right, and there are seven red symbols or seven blue symbols within the pull-in range. Then, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 2 of the external centralized terminal board 170 to output a pseudo RB signal. On the other hand, if there are no seven red symbols in the pull-in range by the third stop operation, one of the bell symbols is stopped (seven blue symbols, seven red symbols, and a bell symbol). Also in this case, the replay combination wins, but the external output signal 2 of the external centralized terminal board 170 is not turned on. If the right stop button 10c of the incorrect answer procedure is operated by the second stop operation in a state where the red 7 symbol is stopped in the middle stage of the middle drum 2b, and the red 7 symbol exists in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 wins. Stop 7 red symbols on the line. However, even if the left stop button 10a is operated by the third stop operation and there are seven blue symbols in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 does not stop any of the seven red symbols on the winning line, and does not stop any of the bell symbols. (Bell design, red 7 design, red 7 design). Also in this case, the replay combination wins, but the external output signal 2 of the external centralized terminal board 170 is not turned on. When the bell re-game player 2 is internally won, if the stop button unit 10 is operated in the middle first and there are no seven red symbols in the pull-in range, the main control unit 100 stops the three replay symbols on the winning line. Let it. In the subsequent stop operation, the replay 2 symbol is stopped and displayed in the middle of the left drum 2a and the replay 1 symbol is stopped and displayed in the middle of the right drum 2c, and a similar replay symbol (however, only the same replay symbol may be used) is aligned in the middle row. (See FIG. 60D).

  FIG. 61 shows a symbol arrangement of the drum.

  On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a turning band (not shown) on which a left drum pattern, a middle drum pattern, and a right drum pattern are drawn makes a round around the outer peripheral portion of each drum. Is attached to

  Twenty different patterns are drawn on each of the torso belts. Seven designs (7 designs), BAR designs, upper chile designs, lower chile designs, red watermelon designs, green watermelon designs, blank designs, bells The design, the blue lip design, and the white lip design are drawn as clearly shown in the figure. As shown in FIG. 51, the winning line (also referred to as an “effective line”) has only one central horizontal line, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 62 is a configuration diagram of the small push order, in which 1st is the correct answer operation procedure.

  In the pachislot industry, as a pushing order small role, a pushing order bell role is generally used. There are eight types of pressing order bell combinations, a pressing order bell 1a to a pressing order bell 4b, but the pressing order bell of the correct operation procedure is not provided on the left 1st (however, it may be provided according to design specifications). The push order bell 1a stores a correct operation procedure (order data of the middle and left and right (213)) corresponding to the ROM. When the pushing order bell 1a is won, FR1 (fruit 1 small role), FR2, FR3 and FR4 are simultaneously internally won (flag is set), and any of FR1 to FR4 is in a winable state. FR1 corresponds to the target small role provided for the purpose of winning. The winning pattern of FR1 is such that the left drum 2a is a bell pattern, the middle drum 2b is a bell pattern, and the right drum 2c is a bell pattern (hereinafter described in the order of left center right), and is displayed on the winning line. Nine medals or credits (all of which are “game value”) can be obtained. This bell symbol is the small combination explicit identification information based on yellow (see FIG. 57), and when a prize is won, it is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window. However, the bell design is not limited to one type, and a plurality of Bell 1 designs to Bell n designs with slightly changed shapes and colors may be provided as the small role explicit identification information.

  The winning symbol of FR2 is a red watermelon symbol or a green watermelon symbol, a bell symbol, a blue lip symbol or a white lip symbol, and when displayed on the winning line, one medal or the like can be obtained. The winning symbols of FR3 are a blue lip symbol, a red watermelon symbol or an upper chilli symbol, a seven symbol or a green watermelon symbol, and when displayed on the winning line, one medal or the like can be obtained. The winning symbol of FR4 is a white lip symbol, a seven symbol or a green watermelon symbol, a red watermelon symbol or a lower dust symbol symbol. When displayed on the winning line, one medal or the like can be obtained. FR2, FR3, and FR4 are inhibition small wins, and are provided for the purpose of inhibiting winning of the target small wins.

  In the pressing order bell 1b, the correct operation procedure (order data of the middle left and right (213)) is stored in correspondence with the ROM. When the pushing order bell 1b is won, FR1, FR2, FR5, and FR6 are simultaneously internally won, and any of these four small roles can be won. The winning symbol of FR1, the winning symbol of FR2, and the number of acquired cards are as described above. The winning symbol of FR5 is a blue lip symbol, a red watermelon symbol or an upper chilli symbol, a red watermelon symbol or a lower chilli symbol, and when displayed on the winning line, one medal or the like can be obtained. The winning symbols of FR6 are a white lip symbol, a seven symbol or a green watermelon symbol, a seven symbol or a green watermelon symbol, and when displayed on the winning line, one medal or the like can be obtained. FR2, FR5 and FR6 are minor inhibitors.

  The reason why the push order bell 1 having the same correct operation procedure is provided in this manner is to prevent one small hand from being aimed at by a stop symbol. For example, when the blue lip symbol is stopped on the left drum 2a and the red watermelon symbol is stopped on the middle drum 2b, if there is only the pushing bell 1a, the player can intentionally win the FR3 aiming at the seven symbol or the green watermelon symbol. Is possible, but the presence of FR5 in the pushing order bell 1b may result in a red watermelon symbol or a lower dust symbol symbol, so that neither player can aim at it.

  The push order bell 2a stores a correct operation procedure (order data of the middle right and left (231)) corresponding to the ROM. When the pushing order bell 2a is won, FR1, FR2, FR7 and FR8 are simultaneously internally won, and any of these four small roles can be won. The winning symbol of FR1, the winning symbol of FR2, and the number of acquired cards are as described above. The winning symbol of FR7 is a blue lip symbol, a seven symbol or a green watermelon symbol, a seven symbol or a green watermelon symbol, and when displayed on the winning line, one medal or the like can be obtained. The winning symbols of FR8 are a white lip symbol, a red watermelon symbol or an upper chilli symbol, a red watermelon symbol or a lower chilli symbol, and when displayed on the winning line, one medal or the like can be obtained. FR2, FR7, FR8 are minor roles of inhibition.

  In the pressing order bell 2b, the correct operation procedure (order data of the middle right and left (231)) is stored corresponding to the ROM. When the pushing order bell 2b is won, FR1, FR2, FR9 and FR10 are simultaneously internally won, and any of these four small roles can be won. The winning symbol of FR1, the winning symbol of FR2, and the number of acquired cards are as described above. The winning symbol of FR9 is a blue lip symbol, a seven symbol or a green watermelon symbol, a red watermelon symbol or a lower dust symbol symbol. When displayed on the winning line, one medal or the like can be obtained. The winning symbols of FR10 are a white lip symbol, a red watermelon symbol or an upper chilli symbol, a seven symbol or a green watermelon symbol, and when displayed on the winning line, one medal or the like can be obtained. FR2, FR9 and FR10 are minor inhibitors. The reason for providing the same pushing order bell 2 in the correct answer operation procedure is the same as the pushing order bell 1.

  FIG. 63 is a configuration diagram of the small pressing order, and the right 1st is the correct answer operation procedure.

  The push order bell 3a stores a correct operation procedure (order data of the middle right and left (312)) corresponding to the ROM. When the pushing order bell 3a is won, FR1, FR11, FR3, and FR4 are internally won at the same time, and any of these four small roles can be won. The only difference between the pushing order bell 3a and the pushing order bell 1a is that FR2 is changed to FR11. The winning symbols of FR11 are a red watermelon symbol or a green watermelon symbol, a blue lip symbol or a white lip symbol, and a bell symbol. When displayed on the winning line, one medal or the like can be obtained. F11, FR3 and FR4 are minor inhibitors. The rest is the same as the pushing order bell 1a, so the explanation is omitted (incorporated). The pressing order bell 3b, the pressing order bell 4a, and the pressing order bell 4b have the same differences, and thus the description thereof is omitted (incorporated).

  FIG. 64 is a configuration diagram of the replay combination.

  In the pachislot industry, a plurality of replay 1 symbols to replay n symbols (replay role explicit identification information) generally based on light blue are displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window, so that the player can recognize the winning of the replay role. I try to make it. However, it does not matter whether the linear display of the replay combination explicit identification information is on the payline or not. On the other hand, as a winning mode of the special replay combination, it is often adopted to display a replay symbol, a replay symbol, a bell symbol, a cherry symbol or the like on the right in a straight line.

  In the case of this embodiment, when the left stop button 10a is operated (first left operation, also referred to as "specific operation") in the first stop operation, a prize is won, and a replay symbol is displayed in a straight line at the center in a normal replay. When the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation and the normal replay 2 and the first stop operation, a prize is won, and the bell replay 1 and the bell in which the bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line in the upper row or down the right. Replay 2 is provided.

  When the normal replay 1 is won, RP1 (REPLAY1 role), RP2, RP3, RP14, and RP15 are simultaneously internally won (flag is set), and any one of the five REPPLAY roles (replay game role) can be won. . The winning design of RP1 is such that the left drum 2a is a blue lip design or a white lip design, the middle drum 2b is a blue lip design or a white lip design, and the right drum 2c is a blue lip design or a white lip design. ), When displayed on the prize line, the winning of the re-gaming role (original simply referred to as "re-gaming"), and the next game is inserted with a game medal or the like (buttons related to the storage device, etc.) (Including providing game medals for game play by operating the device). The blue lip symbol and the white lip symbol are replay combination explicit identification information (replay combination explicit identification information), and when a prize is won, they are displayed in a straight line on the center horizontal line of the symbol display window. In the normal replay 1, both in the initial state (the state in which the replay probability does not fluctuate) and the RT state in which the bonus combination is internally won (the high probability replay state), the lottery based on the random number extracted by the main control unit 100. Is done.

  The winning design of RP2 is a bell design on the left, a blue lip design or a white lip design in the middle, a seven design, a red watermelon design or a green watermelon design on the right, and when displayed on the prize line, the replaying game is won. The blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the upper right diagonal line of the symbol display window. The winning symbols of RP3 are a bell symbol on the left, a red watermelon symbol or a green watermelon symbol on the left, a BAR symbol, a lower Chile symbol or a BRK (blank) symbol on the right. A prize is won, and a blue lip symbol or a white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the lower horizontal line of the symbol display window.

  The winning symbol of RP14 is a seven symbol on the left, a seven symbol on the inside, a seven symbol or a BAR symbol on the right, and when displayed on the winning line, the replaying player wins and a seven symbol is displayed on the central horizontal line of the symbol display window. The symbol, the seven symbol, the seven symbol or the BAR symbol are displayed in a straight line. As will be described later, only the seven symbol, the seven symbol, and the seven symbol are actually won according to the operation order and the timing of the stop button unit 10, and the seven symbol, the seven symbol, and the BAR symbol are controlled by the kicking control by the main control unit 100. It will not be displayed. The winning symbol of RP15 is a seven symbol or a bell symbol on the left, a seven symbol in the middle, and a bell symbol on the right, and when displayed on the winning line, the re-game player wins. It is displayed as "losing".

  When the normal replay 2 is won, the RP1, RP2, RP14, and RP15 are simultaneously internally won (the flag is raised), and any one of the four REPLAY combinations can be won (winning symbols are as described above). As will be described later, the RP 14 actually wins only the seven symbol, the seven symbol, and the BAR symbol depending on the operation order and the timing of the stop button unit 10, and the seven symbols, the seven symbols, and the seven symbols are controlled by the kicking control by the main control unit 100. No symbol is displayed. The main control unit 100 does not perform the lottery for the normal replay 2 in the initial state, and performs the role lottery based on the extracted random numbers in the RT state in which the bonus role (RBB or CBB of the continuous action device for the role of the character) is internally won. In other words, it means that the normal replay 2 is a lottery target, provided that the game is in the high-probability re-game state.

  When Bell Replay 1 is won, RP1, RP2, RP3, RP4, RP14, and RP15 are simultaneously internally won (flag is set), and one of the six REPLAY roles can be won (RP1, RP2, RP3, The winning symbols of RP14 and RP15 are as described above.) The winning design of RP4 is a blue lip design or a white lip design on the left, a bell design on the inside, a seven design on the right, a red watermelon design or a green watermelon design, and when displayed on the prize line, the replaying game is won. The bell symbol (small-robin explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the diagonal line to the right of the symbol display window. When the bell replay 1 is won, the main control unit 100 wins RP4 on condition that the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation and the left drum 2a (specific reel drum) is stopped. The order of the third stop operation does not matter). On the other hand, when a button other than the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation, the main control unit 100 executes stop control so that RP4 is not won. For example, when the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop operation, one of RP1 to RP3 is won, and a blue lip symbol or a white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window. I do. When the middle stop button 10b is operated at the timing when the seven symbols can be pulled in in the first stop operation, the seven symbols are stopped inside. Similarly, when the left stop button 10a is operated at the timing at which the seven symbols can be pulled in by the second stop operation, the seven symbols are stopped to the left. Then, when the right stop button 10c is operated at the timing when the seven symbols can be retracted in the third stop operation, the seven symbols are stopped to the right, and the seven symbols, the seven symbols, and the seven symbols are displayed on the center horizontal line of the symbol display window. It is displayed in a straight line (RP14 winning). However, if the operation is performed at a timing (No. 7 red watermelon symbol position) where the BAR symbol can be pulled in but the Seven symbol cannot be retracted, the bell symbol is stopped to the right and the RP15 wins. In other words, even if the pressing order is correct, the seven symbols, the seven symbols, and the BAR symbols of RP14 do not stop. Also, even if the right stop button 10c is operated at the timing when the seven symbols can be pulled in by the second stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped without stopping the seven symbols to the right. Therefore, if the pushing order is incorrect, the RP 14 does not win and the RP 15 wins. The main control unit 100 does not perform the lottery for Bell Replay 1 in the initial state, and performs the role lottery based on the extracted random numbers in the RT state in which the bonus role is internally won.

  When Bell Replay 2 is won, RP1, RP2, RP3, RP5, RP14, and RP15 are simultaneously internally won (flag is set), and any one of the six REPLAY roles can be won (RP1, RP2, RP3, The winning symbols of RP14 and RP15 are as described above). The winning design of RP5 is a blue lip design or a white lip design on the left, a red watermelon design or a green watermelon design on the left, an upper Chile design or a BRK design on the right, and when displayed on the prize line, the replaying game is won. Then, the bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the upper horizontal line of the symbol display window. When the bell replay 2 is won, the main control unit 100 wins the RP5 on condition that the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation and the left drum 2a (specific reel drum) is stopped. The order of the third stop operation does not matter). On the other hand, when a button other than the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation, the main control unit 100 executes stop control so that RP4 is not won. For example, when the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop operation, one of RP1 to RP3 is won, and a blue lip symbol or a white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window. I do. When the middle stop button 10b is operated at the timing when the seven symbols can be pulled in in the first stop operation, the seven symbols are stopped inside. Similarly, when the left stop button 10a is operated at the timing at which the seven symbols can be pulled in by the second stop operation, the seven symbols are stopped to the left. Then, when the right stop button 10c is operated at the timing at which the BAR symbol can be pulled in by the third stop operation, the BAR symbol is stopped rightward, and the seven symbol, the seven symbol, and the BAR symbol are displayed on the center horizontal line of the symbol display window. It is displayed in a straight line (RP14 winning). However, if the operation is performed at a timing (the blank symbol position of No. 4) at which the seven symbols can be drawn but the BAR symbol cannot be drawn, the bell symbol is stopped to the right and the RP15 wins. That is, even if the pressing order is correct, the seven symbols, the seven symbols, and the seven symbols of the RP 14 do not stop. In addition, even if the right stop button 10c is operated at the timing at which the BAR symbol is retracted in the second stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped without stopping the BAR symbol to the right. Therefore, if the pushing order is incorrect, the RP 14 does not win and the RP 15 wins. The main control unit 100 does not perform the lottery for the bell replay 2 in the initial state, and performs the role lottery based on the extracted random number in the RT state in which the bonus role is internally won.

  FIG. 65 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  In the game inside the RBB shown in FIG. 53 (A), the RBB flag is set, and in the inside of the RBB in the high-probability replay state (see the hatched portion in FIG. 53 (A)), the number of game media decreases. The mainstream of recent slot machines is to repeat a normal game and a special game in which game media are increased. The reason why the number of game media is reduced in the normal game is that the small winning combination of the internally won push is missed. On the other hand, the reason for the increase in the number of game media in the special game is that the operation order (or operation procedure) for winning the target small role (for example, a range of 8 to 15 payouts) of the internally-selected push-order small role is instructed ( This is because, by performing the notification, the player receives more payouts than the inserted number (three). Thereby, the expected value of the increased number of sheets per game can be set to about 3 to 4 sheets. In addition, the CBB (the second-class special accessory continuous operation device) may be set in the internal winning state. In this case, for example, two coins are inserted, two coins are always paid out, and the CBB ends when a predetermined number is exceeded. Therefore, there is no increase or decrease in the game medium during the CBB game. Similarly, in the game in the RB shown in FIG. 26 (C), the RB flag is set, and in the RB in the high-probability replay state, the normal game in which the game medium decreases and the game medium are The increasing special game may be repeated. The symbol combination of the bonus combination (RBB, RB, CBB) will be described as a BAR symbol on the left, a green watermelon symbol in the middle, and a red watermelon symbol on the right.

  The main control unit 100 sets the FR1 flag to the FR4 flag when the pressing order bell 1a shown in FIG. 62 is won by random number lottery in a game in which the bonus combination is internally won. Therefore, as the internal winning state, as a result, the bonus flag and the five flags FR1 to FR4 are set. In addition, the main control unit 100 is configured to perform control such that a small symbol symbol is drawn on a winning line and stopped with priority over a bonus symbol symbol. That is, when both the bonus combination and the small combination are internally won at the same time, when both the bonus symbol and the small combination symbol can be stopped on the winning line, the main control unit 100 gives priority to the small combination symbol to the winning line. Stop it up.

  The main control unit 100 generates the sliding frame number table based on the stored stop control data and the correct operation procedure (order data of the middle left and right (213)) until all the drums of the drum unit 2 rotate at a constant speed. create. For example, when the first stop and the middle stop button 10b are No. It is assumed that the blue lip symbol of No. 7 has been operated at the position on the pay line, and at that time, the player slides four frames and moves to No. 7. The bell symbol of No. 3 is stopped on the winning line. Of course, No. When the blank symbol No. 6 is operated at the position on the winning line, the player slides three frames at that time, In the case of the blue lip pattern of No. 5, slide two frames. In the case of the green watermelon pattern of No. 4, slide one frame. In the case of the bell symbol of 3, it slides by 0 frames. In this way, the number of sliding frames for moving the reel is calculated in advance for all the operation positions (60 frame positions in total), and the reel is moved and stopped immediately after the stop operation.

  When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 65 (A)), the main control unit 100 operates the middle stop button 10b in the first stop (see FIG. 65 (B)). ), The middle drum 2b is stopped and controlled based on the data of the number of sliding frames, and the common bell symbol of FR1 and FR2 is stopped on the pay line (see FIG. 65 (C)). In this case, the operation procedure is the correct answer. When the blue lip symbol of No. 7 is operated on the winning line, the player slides four frames and moves to No. 7. This indicates that the bell symbol of No. 3 has been stopped on the winning line. In this state, there is a possibility that both FR1 and FR2 may win, but neither FR3 nor FR4 can win.

  When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the second stop (see FIG. 65 (D)), the main control unit 100 controls the stop of the left drum 2a based on the sliding frame number data, and displays the bell symbol of FR1 as a winning line. It is stopped upward (see FIG. 65 (E)). In this case, the operation procedure is the correct answer. When the upper chili symbol of No. 12 is operated on the winning line, it is slid two frames and the No. 12 The ten bell symbols are stopped on the pay line, and the small winning combination FR1 having a large number of payouts is in a tempered state. When the player operates the right stop button 10c at the third stop, the main control unit 100 controls the right drum 2c to stop based on the sliding frame number data, and stops the bell symbol FR1 on the winning line (FIG. 65 ( F)). In this case, although there is a possibility that only FR1 will win (FR2 cannot win), bell symbols are arranged on the right drum 2c at intervals of 4 frames (or within 0 to 4 frames). Can be stopped on the winning line (for example, the bell symbol of No. 8), so FR1 always wins. Therefore, when the target small winning combination (FR1) of the pushing order bell 1a wins, the bell symbol (small winning combination explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window. However, the bell design is not limited to one type, and a plurality of Bell 1 designs to Bell n designs with slightly changed shapes and colors may be provided as the small role explicit identification information. Further, it is not always necessary to stop the small combination explicit identification information on the pay line. Even on a non-win line, the bell symbol may be displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window.

  FIG. 66 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIGS. 66A to 66C are in exactly the same state as FIGS. 65A to 65C, and thus the description is incorporated. When the player operates the right stop button 10c in the second stop (see FIG. 66 (D)), the main control unit 100 controls the right drum 2c to stop based on the sliding frame number data, and the blue lip pattern of FR2 or white. The lip symbol is stopped on the winning line (see FIG. 66 (E)). In this case, the operation procedure is an incorrect answer. When the upper chile symbol is operated on the winning line, the player slides three frames and moves to No. 9. The white lip symbol of No. 6 is stopped on the winning line, and the small winning combination FR2 with a small number of payouts but a large number of symbol combinations is in a state of tempai. When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the third stop, the main control unit 100 controls the left drum 2a to stop based on the number of sliding frames, and stops the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol of FR2 on the winning line. (See FIG. 66 (F)). In this case, there is a possibility that only FR2 can win (FR1 cannot win), but a blue lip symbol or a white lip symbol is arranged on the left drum 2a at intervals of 4 frames (or within 0 to 4 frames). Since any blue lip symbol or white lip symbol can be stopped on the pay line (for example, No. 1 blue lip symbol), FR2 always wins. Therefore, when the first stop operation is correct and the second stop operation is wrong, FR2 can be said to be a small role (second inhibition small role) for inhibiting the winning of FR1. In addition, it is possible to drop FR2 with a probability of 1/2 to 1/4, but the small role to be simultaneously elected becomes mischievously complicated and even if a prize is won, the winning rate is one. Since there is little effect, even if the second stop is an erroneous operation, the specification is such that FR2 always wins.

  FIG. 67 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 67A is in exactly the same state as FIG. 65A, and thus the description is referred to.

  When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 67A), the main control unit 100 operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop (see FIG. 67B). ), The left drum 2a is controlled to stop based on the sliding frame number data, and either the blue lip symbol of FR3 or the white lip symbol of FR4 is stopped on the pay line. In this case, the operation procedure is incorrect. When the red watermelon symbol of No. 4 is operated on the winning line, the player slides three frames and the FR3 No. 4 slides. This indicates that the blue lip symbol No. 1 has been stopped on the pay line (see FIG. 67 (C)). This is because the combination symbol of FR3 having a small number of payouts but having a large number of symbol combinations is preferentially drawn in, and at this time, there is no possibility that only FR3 will be awarded. Become). It should be noted that, originally, four frames were slid and the FR1 No. It is possible to stop the 20 bell symbols on the winning line, but FR3 prevents the winning of FR1. If the operation timings are different, the white lip symbol of FR4 stops on the winning line, so that there is no possibility that only FR4 will win. Accordingly, FR3 and FR4 can be said to be small wins (first inhibition small wins) for inhibiting the winning of FR1 when the first stop operation is incorrect. In order for the FR3 to win, the condition is that the red watermelon symbol or upper dust symbol on the middle drum 2b and the seven symbol or green watermelon symbol on the right drum 2c stop. Since the / 2 and the right drum 2c are 1/2, the FR3 wins only with a probability of 1/4. Similarly, the winning of FR4 is based on the condition that a seven symbol or green watermelon symbol is stopped on the middle drum 2b and a red watermelon symbol or lower dust symbol is stopped on the right drum 2c. Since 2b is 及 び and right drum 2c is 、, FR3 wins only with a probability of ４.

  When the player operates the middle stop button 10b at the second stop, the main control unit 100 controls the middle drum 2b to stop based on the sliding frame number data, and sets the probability that the red watermelon symbol or the lower dust symbol of FR3 is 1/2. To stop on the pay line (see FIG. 67 (D). In this example, a red watermelon symbol). On the other hand, since the red watermelon symbol and the lower chilli symbol of FR3 cannot be stopped on the winning line with a probability of 1/2, they are stopped at the corner (see FIG. 67 (F)). When the player operates the right stop button 10c at the third stop in the state of FIG. 67 (D), the main control unit 100 controls the stop of the right drum 2c based on the data of the number of sliding frames, and the seven symbols of FR3 or the green watermelon. When the symbol is stopped on the winning line with a probability of 1/2, FR3 wins (see FIG. 67 (E); in this example, a seven symbol). In other words, when the small win in the pushing order is internally won, if the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation, one small win wins only with a probability of 1/4, so that the game medium can be consumed. It becomes possible. Then, when the player stops other than the left drum 2a (specific reel drum) by the first stop operation, the lottery for performing the specific game (for example, assist game) is not performed, and the digestion game is added to the number of ceiling games. It gives a big penalty such as no. Even if the player operates the stop button unit 10 in the right-middle-left order in preparation for the penalty, the game media will eventually decrease.

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

  FIG. 68A is exactly the same as FIG. 65A, and thus the description is referred to.

  When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 68A), the main control unit 100 operates the right stop button 10c at the first stop (see FIG. 68B). ), The right drum 2c is stopped and controlled based on the data of the number of sliding frames, and either the seven symbol or green watermelon symbol of FR3 or the red watermelon symbol or lower dust symbol of FR4 is stopped on the winning line. In this case, the operation procedure is incorrect. When the white lip symbol of No. 11 is operated on the winning line, the player slides one frame to make No. 3 of FR3. This shows that the lower Chile symbol 10 has been stopped on the winning line (see FIG. 68 (C)). This is because the combination symbol of FR4 with a small number of payouts but a large number of symbol combinations is preferentially drawn in. At this point, there is no possibility that only FR4 will be awarded. Become). It should be noted that, originally, three frames were slid and the FR1 No. It is possible to stop the 8 bell symbol on the winning line, but FR4 will prevent FR1 from winning. If the operation timings are different, the red watermelon symbol of FR4 or the seven symbol or green watermelon symbol of FR3 stops on the pay line, and in any case, only FR3 or FR4 is likely to win. Accordingly, FR3 and FR4 can be said to be small wins (first inhibition small wins) for inhibiting the winning of FR1 when the first stop operation is incorrect. The winning of FR4 is based on the condition that the white lip symbol is stopped on the left drum 2a and the seven symbol or the green watermelon symbol is stopped on the middle drum 2b, so that the winning is achieved only with a predetermined probability (in other words, FR3 is (May be missed).

  When the player operates the middle stop button 10b at the second stop, the main control unit 100 controls the middle drum 2b to stop based on the sliding frame number data, and the FR4 seven symbol or the green watermelon symbol with a probability of 1/2. It is stopped on the pay line (see FIG. 68 (D). In this example, a green watermelon symbol). On the other hand, since the seven symbol and the green watermelon symbol of FR4 cannot be stopped on the winning line with a probability of 1/2, they are stopped at the corner (see FIG. 68 (F)). When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the third stop in the state of FIG. 68 (D), the main control unit 100 controls the stop of the left drum 2a based on the sliding frame number data, and changes the white lip pattern of FR4 to 3. When the vehicle stops on the pay line with a probability of / 4, FR4 wins (see FIG. 68 (E)). In other words, when the pressing order small win is internally won, if the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop operation, only one small win is won with a predetermined probability (low probability). It can be consumed. In addition, the main control unit 100 performs the same stop control for the other seven push-order bells (the push-order bell 1b to the push-order bell 4b), and a description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 69 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  The normal replay 1 is a lottery target for both the general game and the inside RBB game shown in FIG. On the other hand, the regular replay 2, the bell replay 1, and the bell replay 2 are to be drawn in the RBB inside game, but are not drawn in the general game. That is, in the game inside the RBB in which the RBB flag is raised and the high-probability re-game state is set (see the hatched portion in FIG. 53A), all the random replays are randomly selected for the first time. The player basically repeats the normal game and the special game in which the assist function is activated in the game state inside the RBB, but the internally won RBB wins at the time of the single win or the single win state. Sometimes, if you aim at the BAR symbol on the left, the green watermelon symbol in the middle, and the red watermelon symbol on the right, you will win a prize, but it is very rare that such a situation will occur, and if you win the RBB, you will only be given a penalty Rather, in the bonus game, the medals are reduced or the status quo is maintained (there is no increase or decrease), so that the RBB is not dared to win. Further, the state inside the RBB is maintained even if the step setting value is re-entered, so that the player plays the game in this gaming state.

  The main control unit 100 sets flags RP1 to RP3, RP14, and RP15 when the normal replay 1 shown in FIG. 64 is won by random number lottery in a game in which the bonus combination is internally won. Therefore, as the internal winning state, six bonus flags, RP1 to RP3, RP14 and RP15 flags are set as a result. Note that the main control unit 100 performs control to draw the replay symbol on the winning line and stop the replay symbol in preference to the bonus symbol, and any one of the replay roles always wins. I will not do it.

  The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table based on the stored stop control data, the operation procedure, and the operation position (operation timing) until all the drums of the drum unit 2 rotate at a constant speed. For example, when the first stop and the middle stop button 10b are No. It is assumed that the bell symbol of No. 15 has been operated at the position on the winning line, and at that time, it is slid by four frames and No. 15 is moved. The eleventh white lip symbol is stopped on the winning line. Of course, No. When the red watermelon symbol No. 14 is operated at the position on the winning line, the player slides three frames at that time, and When the bottom Chile design is 13, slide two frames. In the case of the upper Chile design, slide one frame. In the case of the 11 white lip pattern, it slides by 0 frames. In this way, the number of sliding frames for moving the reel is calculated in advance for all the operation positions (60 frame positions in total), and the reel is moved and stopped immediately after the stop operation.

  When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 69 (A)), the main control unit 100 operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop (operating in a predetermined operation procedure or When the first left operation is performed (see FIG. 69 (B)), the left drum 2a is stopped and controlled based on the number of sliding frames data, and either the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol of the RP1 is stopped on the winning line. In this case, the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a (1st left), When the bell symbol of No. 15 is operated on the winning line, it is slid by four frames and the RP1 No. 15 is slid. This shows that the eleventh white lip symbol was stopped on the pay line (see FIG. 69 (C)). This is because the main control unit 100 is programmed to perform stop control so that RP1 wins when the first stop operation is performed by the left stop button 10a and the left drum 2a is stopped first. At this point, only the RP1 can win.

  When the player operates the middle stop button 10b at the second stop, the main control unit 100 controls the middle drum 2b to stop based on the number of sliding frames data, and displays either the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol of the RP1 as a winning line. Stop on top. In this case, no. 10 shows a state in which the blue lip symbol has stopped (see FIG. 69 (D)). When the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop thereafter, the right drum 2c is controlled to stop based on the data of the number of sliding frames, and either the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol of the RP1 is stopped on the winning line. In this case, no. 1 shows a state in which the blue lip symbol is stopped, and when RP1 is won, the replay combination explicit identification information (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the center horizontal line of the symbol display window (FIG. 69 (E )reference). FIG. 69 (F) shows a case where the player operates the right stop button 10c at the second stop (presses the scissors) and stops in the same manner. When RP1 wins, the replay combination explicit identification information is displayed as a symbol. It is displayed in a straight line on the center horizontal line of the window (see FIG. 69 (E)).

  FIG. 70 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series.

  FIG. 70A is in exactly the same state as FIG. 69A;

  The main control unit 100 determines that the player stops at the first stop. When the middle stop button 10b is operated (operated by a specific operation procedure) at a timing at which the seven symbols of No. 2 can be pulled in (see FIG. 70B), the stop of the middle drum 2b is controlled based on the number of sliding frames, and RP14 and RP15 are controlled. Are stopped on the pay line (see FIG. 70 (C)). The main control unit 100 sets the left stop button 10a at the second stop by the player to the No. When the operation is performed at a timing at which the seven symbols of the second pattern can be pulled in (operating according to a predetermined operation procedure; left 2nd), the middle drum 2b is stopped and controlled based on the number of sliding frames data, and the seven symbols common to RP14 and RP15 are placed on the winning line. The operation is stopped (see FIG. 70D). Then, the main controller 100 sets the right stop button 10c at the third stop by the player to the third stop. When the operation is performed at a timing at which the seventh symbol of No. 2 can be pulled in (operating in a predetermined operation procedure; 3rd right), the middle drum 2b is stopped and controlled based on the data of the number of sliding frames, and the seven symbol of RP14 is stopped on the winning line. (See FIG. 70 (E)), but if the third stop operation is performed at a timing at which the seven symbols cannot be drawn in, the bell symbol is stopped on the winning line and the RP15 is awarded (not shown). On the other hand, in the state of FIG. 70 (C), if the left symbol is operated 2nd at a timing at which the seven symbols cannot be pulled in, the bell symbol of RP15 is stopped on the winning line (see FIG. 70 (F)). In the state of FIG. 5 or No. Even if the right 3rd operation is performed at the timing at which the BAR symbol of No. 20 can be pulled in, the main control unit 100 does not stop the BAR symbol of the RP14 on the winning line, and the No. A bell symbol such as 3 is stopped on the winning line. That is, in the case of the normal replay 1, when the seven symbols are drawn in a specific operation order (middle left and right order) and the seven symbols are drawn, three seven symbols are displayed in a straight line, and the RP14 wins, while the third stop is performed. Even if the BAR symbol can be pulled in, the RP15 does not win but the RP15 wins. In addition, the main control unit 100 sets the middle stop button 10b at the first stop by the player to the No. When the second symbol is operated at a timing at which it cannot be pulled in, the middle drum 2b is controlled to stop on the basis of the sliding frame number data, and either the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol is stopped on the pay line (not shown). In the subsequent operation, either RP1 or RP2 wins, and the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in the middle line of the symbol display window or in the diagonally upper right line (not shown). When the second right operation is performed in the state of FIG. 70 (C), the bell symbol stops, the bell symbol stops by the third stop operation, and the RP15 wins (the stop display mode is “bell symbol, seven”). Symbol, bell symbol ").

  FIG. 71 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 71A is exactly the same as FIG. 69A, and thus the description is referred to.

  The main control unit 100 determines that the player stops at the first stop. When the right stop button 10c is operated at the timing at which the lower dust symbol 10 can be pulled in (see FIG. 71 (B)), the right drum 2c is controlled to stop based on the number of sliding frames, and the lower dust symbol RP3 is placed on the winning line. It is stopped (see FIG. 71 (C)). In this state, no prize can be won except for RP3. The main control unit 100 sets the middle stop button 10b at the second stop by the player. When the lower dust symbol 12 is operated when it is positioned at the upper stage, the middle drum 2b is controlled to stop based on the number of sliding frames, and is slid four frames to make the No. The red watermelon 9 is stopped on the winning line (see FIG. 71 (D)). Further, when the player presses the left stop button 10a at the third stop, No. When the lower dust symbol 13 is operated when it is located at the upper stage, the left drum 2a is stopped and controlled based on the number of sliding frames data, and four frames are slid. 10 bell symbols are stopped on the winning line. When the RP3 is won, a blue lip symbol or a white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line at the bottom of the symbol display window (see FIG. 71 (E)). FIG. 71 (F) shows a case where the player operates the left stop button 10a at the same timing in the second stop, and in any case, the RP3 always wins.

Description of normal replay 2 (not shown):
The main control unit 100 sets the RP1, RP2, RP14, and RP15 flags when the normal replay 2 shown in FIG. 64 is won by random number lottery in a game in which the bonus combination is internally won. Therefore, as the internal winning state, as a result, five flags of the bonus flag, RP1, RP2, RP14 and RP15 are set. In addition, the main control unit 100 performs control to draw and stop the replay symbol on the winning line in preference to the bonus symbol, and since any replay symbol is always won, the bonus symbol is won when the replay symbol is won. I will not.

  When the player operates the left stop button 10a (forward push or scissors push) at the first stop, the main control unit 100 controls the stop of the left drum 2a based on the sliding frame number data, and the blue lip pattern or the white lip of the RP1. One of the symbols is stopped on the winning line, and RP1 is won by a subsequent stop operation. If you aim at the 7 symbol in the first 1st, the 7 symbol in the 2nd left, and the BAR symbol in the 3rd right, RP14 wins and the (7 symbol, 7 symbol, BAR symbol) is displayed on the center horizontal line of the symbol display window. You. If it is missed, RP15 or RP1 of another symbol wins. When the right first stop operation is performed, RP2 wins, and the replay combination explicit identification information (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the right obliquely upward line of the symbol display window.

  FIG. 72 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  The main control unit 100 sets flags RP1 to RP4, RP14, and RP15 when the bell replay 1 shown in FIG. 64 is won by random number lottery in a game in which the bonus combination is internally won. Therefore, as the internal winning state, seven flags of the bonus flags, RP1 to RP4, RP14, and RP15 are eventually set. Note that the main control unit 100 performs control to draw the replay symbol on the winning line and stop the replay symbol in preference to the bonus symbol, and any one of the replay roles always wins. I will not do it.

  When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop (operation according to a predetermined operation procedure or first left operation) (see FIG. 72 (B)), the main control unit 100 determines the left drum 2a based on the sliding frame number data. To stop either the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol of the symbol common to RP1 and RP4 on the winning line. In this case, the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a (1st left), When the bell symbol of No. 15 is operated on the winning line, it is slid by four frames and No. 15 of RP1 and RP4. This shows that the eleventh white lip symbol was stopped on the winning line (see FIG. 72 (C)). This is so that when the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a and the left drum 2a stops first, the main control unit 100 stops either the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol on the winning line, Because it is programmed.

  When the player operates the middle stop button 10b in the second stop, the main control unit 100 controls the middle drum 2b to stop based on the data of the number of sliding frames, and stops the RP4 bell symbol on the winning line. In this case, no. 8 shows a state in which the bell symbol has stopped (see FIG. 72 (D)). This is because, when the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a (forward push or scissor push), the main control unit 100 is programmed so that the RP4 wins in preference to another replay role. is there. At this point, only the RP4 can win. When the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop after that, the right drum 2c is controlled to stop based on the number of sliding frames data, and any of the RP4 seven symbol, the red watermelon symbol, or the green watermelon symbol is placed on the winning line. Stop. In this case, no. 7 shows a state in which the seven symbols are stopped, and when the RP4 wins, the small role explicit identification information is displayed in a straight line on the diagonally downward right line of the symbol display window (see FIG. 72 (E)). FIG. 72 (F) shows a case where the player operates the right stop button 10c at the second stop (presses the scissors) and preferentially stops the RP4 symbol, similarly to the forward push. When a prize is won, a bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window (see FIG. 72 (E)).

  FIG. 73 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 73A is in exactly the same state as FIG.

  The main control unit 100 determines that the player stops at the first stop. When the middle stop button 10b is operated (operated by a specific operation procedure) at a timing at which the seventh symbol of No. 2 can be pulled in (see FIG. 73 (B)), the middle drum 2b is stopped and controlled based on the number of sliding frames, and RP14 and RP15 are controlled. Are stopped on the pay line (see FIG. 73 (C)). The main control unit 100 sets the left stop button 10a at the second stop by the player to the No. When the operation is performed at a timing at which the seven symbols of the second pattern can be pulled in (operating according to a predetermined operation procedure; left 2nd), the middle drum 2b is stopped and controlled based on the number of sliding frames data, and the seven symbols common to RP14 and RP15 are placed on the winning line. The operation is stopped (see FIG. 73D). Then, the main controller 100 sets the right stop button 10c at the third stop by the player to the third stop. When the operation is performed at a timing at which the seventh symbol of No. 2 can be pulled in (operating in a predetermined operation procedure; 3rd right), the middle drum 2b is stopped and controlled based on the data of the number of sliding frames, and the seven symbol of RP14 is stopped on the winning line. (See FIG. 73 (E)), but if the third stop operation is performed at a timing when the seven symbols cannot be drawn in, the bell symbol is stopped on the winning line, and the RP15 is awarded (not shown). On the other hand, in the state of FIG. 73 (C), if the left operation is performed at the timing at which the seven symbols cannot be pulled in, the bell symbol of the RP15 is stopped on the winning line (see FIG. 73 (F)). Note that, in the state of FIG. 5 or No. Even if the right 3rd operation is performed at the timing at which the BAR symbol of No. 20 can be pulled in, the main control unit 100 does not stop the BAR symbol of the RP14 on the winning line, and the No. A bell symbol such as 3 is stopped on the winning line. In other words, in the case of Bell Replay 1, when the seven symbols are drawn in a specific operation order (middle left and right order) and three symbols are displayed in a straight line, the RP14 wins while the third symbol is stopped, and the BAR at the third stop. Even when the symbols can be drawn in, the RP 14 does not win but the RP 15 wins. Note that the main control unit 100 sets the middle stop button 10b in the first stop to No. When the second symbol is operated at a timing at which it cannot be pulled in, the middle drum 2b is controlled to stop on the basis of the sliding frame number data, and either the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol is stopped on the pay line (not shown). In the subsequent operation, either RP1 or RP2 wins, and the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in the middle line of the symbol display window or in the diagonally upper right line (not shown). In addition, if the player performs the second right operation in the state of FIG. 73 (C), the bell symbol stops, the bell symbol stops by the third stop operation, and the RP15 wins (the stop display mode is “bell symbol, seven symbol”). , Bell symbol ").

  FIG. 74 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 74A is exactly the same as FIG. 72A, and thus the description is referred to.

  The main control unit 100 determines that the player stops at the first stop. When the right stop button 10c is operated at the timing when the 14 blank symbols are located on the winning line (see FIG. 74B), the right drum 2c is stopped and controlled based on the number of sliding frames data, and the red watermelon symbol of RP2 is won. Stop on the line (see FIG. 74 (C)). In this state, the white lip symbol stops at the upper stage, and it is no longer possible to win other than RP2 or RP4. The main control unit 100 sets the middle stop button 10b at the second stop by the player. If the operation is performed when the upper chile symbol is located on the winning line, the middle drum 2b is controlled to stop based on the data of the number of sliding frames. The blue lip symbol No. 7 is stopped on the winning line (see FIG. 74 (D)). In this case, No. Although it is possible to stop the ten blue lip symbols, the stop control is performed so that the slip amount is intentionally increased. In this state, the replay symbol has a temper, but no prize can be won except for RP2. Further, when the player presses the left stop button 10a at the third stop, No. When the red watermelon symbol No. 14 is operated when it is positioned on the winning line, the left drum 2a is stopped and controlled based on the number of sliding frames data, and the left drum 2 is slid four frames. 10 bell symbols are stopped on the winning line. When the RP2 is won, a blue lip symbol or a white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed diagonally on the upper right of the symbol display window (see FIG. 74 (E)). FIG. 74 (F) shows a case where the player operates the left stop button 10a at the same timing in the second stop, and in any case, RP2 always wins. However, depending on the operation timing of the right stop button 10c, RP1 (see FIG. 69 (E)) or RP3 (see FIG. 71 (E)) wins, and the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) changes. It is displayed straight on the display window.

  FIG. 75 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series.

  The main control unit 100 sets flags RP1 to RP3, RP5, RP14, and RP15 when the bell replay 2 shown in FIG. 64 is won by random number lottery in a game in which the bonus combination is internally won. Therefore, as the internal winning state, seven bonus flags, RP1 to RP3, RP5, RP14, and RP15 flag flags are set as a result. Note that the main control unit 100 performs control to draw the replay symbol on the winning line and stop the replay symbol in preference to the bonus symbol, and any one of the replay roles always wins. I will not do it.

  As in the case of the bell replay 1, the main control unit 100 controls the sliding command based on the stored stop control data, the operation procedure, and the operation position (operation timing) until all the drums of the drum unit 2 rotate at a constant speed. Create a number table. When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 75 (A)), the main control unit 100 operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop (operating in a predetermined operation procedure or When the first left operation is performed (see FIG. 75 (B)), the left drum 2a is controlled to stop based on the data of the number of sliding frames, and either the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol is stopped on the winning line (the bell symbol in the upper row). Is displayed). In this case, the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a (1st left), When the bell symbol of No. 15 is operated on the winning line, it is slid by four frames and the RP1 No. 15 is slid. This shows that the eleventh white lip symbol is stopped on the winning line (see FIG. 75 (C)). This is because the main control unit 100 is programmed to perform stop control so that when the first stop operation is performed by the left stop button 10a and the left drum 2a stops first, the RP5 wins. At this point, only the RP1 or RP5 can be won, but as described later, stop control is performed so that RP1 is not won by the first left operation.

  When the player operates the middle stop button 10b at the second stop, the main control unit 100 controls the stop of the middle drum 2b based on the sliding frame number data, and places either the red watermelon symbol or the green watermelon symbol of the RP5 on the winning line. Stop on top. In this case, no. 9 shows a state in which the red watermelon symbol is stopped (see FIG. 75 (D)). When the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop thereafter, the right drum 2c is controlled to stop based on the data of the number of sliding frames, and either the upper dust symbol or the blank symbol of the RP5 is stopped on the winning line. In this case, no. 4 shows a state in which the blank symbol is stopped. When the RP5 wins, a bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line in the upper row of the symbol display window (see FIG. 75 (E)). FIG. 75 (F) shows a case in which the player operates the right stop button 10c in the second stop (presses the scissors) and stops in the same manner. When the RP5 wins, a bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is displayed. ) Are displayed straight on the upper horizontal line of the symbol display window (see FIG. 75 (E)).

  The main control unit 100, when the Bell Replay 2 is internally won, operates with a seven symbol in the first 1st, a seven symbol in the left 2nd, and a BAR symbol in the right 3rd, makes the RP14 win and the central horizontal line of the symbol display window. (Seven symbol, Seven symbol, BAR symbol) is displayed on the other hand. Even if the right 3rd operation is performed at the timing when the Seven R symbol of No. 2 can be pulled in, the Seven symbol of RP14 is not stopped on the winning line, and No. 2 is stopped. A bell symbol such as 3 is stopped on the winning line. If it is missed, RP15 (seven symbol, seven symbol, bell symbol), RP1 or RP2 of another symbol wins. When the right first stop operation is performed, RP3 wins, and the replay combination explicit identification information (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window. If Bell Replay 2 or Bell Replay 1 is internally won during an AT (during a special game in which the assist function is activated), the first 1st stop operation sequence (right and left) is performed so that the bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is not displayed in a straight line. Middle or right middle left). This solves the problem that the bell symbol (small-course explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line, even though there is no payout of medals, and the player does not feel uncomfortable. In other words, the feature of the present invention is that when the Bell Replay role is internally won, the bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window in the first left, while the bell symbol is displayed in the symbol display window in other than the first left. Is not displayed in a straight line. In addition, the replay combination explicit identification information (replay combination explicit identification information) can be displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window for both the middle 1st and the right 1st.

  FIG. 76 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure up to the start of ART.

  In the high probability replay state in which the bonus role (RBB or CBB) described in FIG. 53 (A) is internally won, the player plays a normal game and a special game. Then, a winning operation procedure advantageous to the player is notified.). On the other hand, it is not assumed that the player actually wins the bonus combination in the game hall and plays the bonus game (RBB game or CBB game), and the game is a penalty state.

  When the power is turned on and the stages are set and the normal game is started (“game start” in the figure), the sub-control unit 160 determines either the normal mode (step S500) or the high probability mode (step S510) by lottery. . The sub control unit 160 executes an AT (Assist Time. Third Bonus or Pseudo Bonus) lottery when the specific opportunity is internally won in the random lottery performed by the main control unit 100 in step S520. If the sub control unit 160 has not won the AT lottery in step S522, the sub control unit 160 performs a mode transition lottery in step S524, and proceeds to step S500 or step S510. For example, when a rare small role (cherry, watermelon, chance, etc.) is won as a specific opportunity, a shift lottery to the high probability mode is performed, and when a replay is won, a shift lottery to the normal mode is performed. In the high probability mode, the sub control unit 160 selects one from a plurality of lottery tables having different AT winning probabilities, and wins the AT with a high probability of about 10 to 100 times compared to the normal mode. Let it. As a remedy, even if the digestion game reaches the ceiling game number, the AT is forcibly won.

  In the base game, when an operation other than the first left operation is performed, the sub control unit 160 generates a warning sound such as a boo-boo, and notifies the player that the operation is a penalty operation. This penalty operation is executed when the push order small win is internally won, and when the “target small win” constituting the push order small win that should not be awarded wins, the AT lottery is not performed only for a predetermined number of games. Gives a big penalty. In this case, even if the player draws the rare small role during the penalty period, the player cannot perform the AT lottery and cannot obtain any benefit in the game. Therefore, the player performs the first left operation (operates in a specific procedure) with a low participation rate. It is. Accordingly, when the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2 is internally won, the replay combination is won by the first left operation, and the replay combination explicit identification information is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window. Then, the main control unit 100 immediately turns on all (three) of the inserted number LEDs 4a, and when the player operates the start lever, the lottery is performed and the game is started (provided that 4.1 seconds elapse between games). Spin reel as requirement). On the other hand, when the bell replay 1 or the bell replay 2 is internally won, the main control unit 100 wins the replay by the first left operation, and the bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window. Then, the bell replay processing subroutine is called.

  FIG. 77 is a flowchart showing the bell replay processing subroutine.

  When the main control unit 100 calls this subroutine, the main control unit 100 starts measuring time in step S600 (for example, starts a 20-second timer). The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the start lever 9 has been operated in step S610, ends the timing in step S640 if it has been operated, and proceeds to step S650 while it has not been operated, and proceeds to step S620 if it has not been operated. Transition. The main control unit 100 determines in step S620 whether or not there has been input. If the input has been made, the main control unit 100 ends the timing in step S640, and proceeds to step S650. If not, the process proceeds to step S630. The “insertion” is to directly insert the game medal into the medal insertion slot or to operate the max bet button 8 (1 BET button operation may be performed).

  The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed in step S630. If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S610, and if it has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S650. When proceeding to step S650, the main control unit 100 turns on all (three) of the input number LEDs 4a, and ends this subroutine. That is, when the bell replay 1 or the bell replay 2 wins and the bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window, the inserted number LED 4a is turned on after the predetermined time is counted. The timing is canceled by the input operation or the input operation before the timing. Even if the max bet button 8 is operated, the stored quantity displayed by the medal stored quantity display LED 4b does not decrease. Further, when medals are directly inserted by the insertion operation, the number of added medals is added to the stored quantity displayed by the medal stored number display LED 4b. When the bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window due to the prize of Bell Replay, the player illusions that the small role has won, and operates the max bet button 8 in a familiar procedure. In this way, such processing does not cause discomfort. Similarly, if the start lever 9 is operated before the time count of the predetermined time, the time count is cancelled, and the inserted number LED 4a is turned on. The reason for providing the bell replay is to give the player an impression as if a small payout of three payouts was awarded because the normal game is in a high-probability replay state and replays are frequently won.

  Here, returning to FIG. 76, if the sub-control unit 160 wins the AT lottery in step S522, the sub-control unit 160 selects an AT type lottery for determining a pseudo big bonus or a pseudo regular bonus (step S526). An AT stock number lottery (step S528) and a precursor game number lottery (step S530) are performed. The number of signs game is the number of games required to notify the player of the winning of the AT, and the game shifts to the sign mode of step S532, and the intense performance is continued from about 8 games to about 32 games. The sub control unit 160 performs an AT winning determination effect (for example, a display effect of “bonus determination”) in step S534, and performs a preparation game until the replay role is won and a bonus symbol is displayed (step S536). For example, when the pseudo big bonus is determined by the AT type lottery, the bonus confirmation display (WIN display) is continued, and when the normal replay 1 or the bell replay 1 is won, the operation order of the middle left and right and “777” are aimed at. indicate. When the player aims at the seven symbol at the middle 1st, aims at the seven symbol at the left 2nd, and aims at the seven symbol at the right 3rd, 777 is displayed and the AT game is started. Similarly, in the case of the pseudo-regular bonus, when the normal replay 2 or the bell replay 2 is won, the middle left and right operation order and “77 BAR” are displayed so as to aim. When the player aims at the seven symbol at the middle 1st, aims at the seven symbol at the left 2nd, and aims at the BAR symbol at the right 3rd, 77 BAR is displayed and the AT game is started by moving to step S538. However, even if the pushing order is correct, if the operation timing is wrong, the replay role of another symbol wins and "777" or "77BAR" is not displayed, but if the pushing order is correct, the AT game is started. I do.

  The sub-control unit 160 performs an additional lottery every time a specific opportunity to trigger an additional lottery in step S540 is internally won, and the number of additional ATs (the number of games, the number of coins, the number of wins in the pressing order, etc.). Alternatively, the number of stocks (the number of sets, the number of loops, etc.) is displayed on the display effect device 11. Naturally, the sub-control unit 160 adds the added number to the remaining number, and displays it on the display effect device 11 or stores it in the RAM.

  Specific triggers include, for example, single cherry, strong cherry, weak cherry, strong watermelon, weak watermelon, strong chance eyes, weak chance eyes, and the like. The expected number of games to add (expected value) is an average of 100 games for a single cherry, an average of 50 games for a strong cherry, an average of 20 games for a weak cherry, an average of 75 games for a strong watermelon, an average of 10 games for a weak watermelon, and an average for the strong chance The average is 30 games in the 200th game and the weak chance, and the sub-control unit 160 performs random number lottery using an additional lottery table corresponding to each specific opportunity to determine the number of additional games. The additional lottery table for single cherries is set so that 500 games are 5%, 200 games are 5%, 100 games are 50%, 50 games are 30%, and 0 games (losing) are 10% according to the random number value. Allotment has been made, and the added average value is 100 games. For example, random numbers from 0 to 99 are generated, and the extracted random numbers are 0 game (losing) from 0 to 9, 100 games from 10 to 59, 50 games from 60 to 89, 200 games from 90 to 94, and 95 to 99. And 500 games are won. In addition, the strong cherry, the weak cherry, the strong watermelon, the weak watermelon, the strong chance eye, the weak chance eye, etc. are additional lottery tables of the same configuration. I do.

  When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S544, the sub-control unit 160 determines whether a special additional condition is satisfied. For example, a special additional lottery is executed at the time of winning of the specific opportunity, and if the winning is made, the condition is satisfied. This condition is also satisfied when the opponent's HP (hit point) becomes zero in the battle between the hero and the enemy character and the hero wins. When the special additional condition is satisfied in step S544, the sub control unit 160 proceeds to step S546 and selects one of the plurality of special additional zones. For example, the special additional zone A is a zone for adding lots only for three games (expected additional value is about 30), the special additional zone B is a zone for adding lots only for five games (expected additional value is about 50), and the special additional zone C Is a zone in which additional lottery is performed only during the game until the player loses the continuous lottery (expected additional value is about 100). The value (number of games, number of navigations, number of payouts, etc.) won in the additional lottery is a numerical value for activating the assist function. Like the above-described additional lottery, the additional number is added to the remaining number, and the display effect device is displayed. 11 or stored in RAM.

  In particular, when the special additional zone D is selected, the special button 14 is repeatedly struck, and the continuous lottery (punk lottery or fall lottery) and the additional lottery are performed each time the operation is performed. Or the winning in the drop lottery), and the sum of the values won in the additional lottery is used as an additional number for activating the assist function, and this additional number is added to the remaining number, displayed on the display effect device 11 and displayed on the RAM. Remember.

  FIG. 78 is a flowchart showing a processing subroutine of special additional zone D. FIG. 79 and FIG. 80 are flowcharts showing a freeze effect processing subroutine.

  When shifting to the special additional zone D in step S546, the sub control unit 160 wins either the freeze effect 1 in which the blue 7 symbols are aligned in a straight line according to the pressing order, or the freeze effect 2 in which the red 7 symbols are aligned in a straight line according to the pressing order. It is determined whether or not to let it be drawn (step S700). In the case of seven red symbols, there is only one special additional game, but in the case of seven blue symbols, the number of special extra games is two or more (a plurality of times), which is advantageous for the player. The winning ratio of the Blue 7 symbol is about 20%, and the Blue 7 symbol is arranged about once every five times.

  When the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to step S710, the sub-control unit 160 waits for notification from the main control unit 100 that GRP (Group Replay) 1 to GRP7, which is a freeze trigger, has been won. After performing the normal processing in step S710, the flow returns to step S710 to loop. For example, the normal process of step S715 is a process of informing the winning operation sequence by activating the assist function when the small pressing order is won. That is, steps S710 and S715 can be said to be a standby state until the special additional game is started.

  A group replay is an upper blue 7 replay in which the blue 7 pattern is displayed in a straight line above the display window, and a blue 7 pattern is displayed in the upper right line of the display window (lower blue 7, middle blue 7, upper blue 7). There are multiple replay roles, such as upper right blue 7 replays, middle red 7 replays in which the red pattern is displayed in the middle horizontal line of the display window, and lower normal replays in which the normal replay pattern is displayed in the lower horizontal line of the display window. This is a replay combination that is simultaneously elected, and the types and combinations of replay combinations that are internally elected at the same time differ among the group replays. Due to this difference, the replay displayed by winning in the order of pressing is different.

  Referring to FIG. 79, when the start operation of the symbol display game is performed in step S800, main control unit 100 executes a lottery of a combination (symbol lottery) and notifies internal control combination (lottery result) to sub control unit 160. I do. The main control unit 100 can appropriately transmit various information to the sub-control unit 160 to directly transmit a game state and a command. On the contrary, the sub-control unit 160 directly transmits information to the main control unit 100. I can't. That is, only one-way communication from the main control unit 100 to the sub-control unit 160 is permitted, and two-way communication cannot be performed. In other words, the main control unit is configured to transmit information in one direction to the sub control unit, but not to receive information from the sub control unit.

  The main control unit 100 determines in step S810 that any of the freeze triggers GRP (Group Replay) 1 to GRP7 has been won. For example, the process shifts to step S860 to execute normal processing such as stop control and payout of medals.

  Referring to FIG. 78, upon receiving a notification that the freeze trigger (GRP1 in this case) has been won from the main control unit 100 in step S710, the sub control unit 160 determines in step S720 a winning symbol (a symbol to be displayed in a straight line). ) Is determined, and if it is a blue 7 symbol, the process proceeds to step S730 to notify the display operation sequence of the blue 7 symbol, while if it is a red 7 symbol, the process proceeds to step S750 to display the red 7 symbol display operation sequence. Notify. If the seven red symbols are displayed after the end of the next game (next symbol display game), the sub control unit 160 proceeds to step S760 to execute the special additional game only once. On the other hand, when the blue 7 symbol is displayed, the process proceeds to step S740, and in addition to at least one time, the special additional game is performed only for the designated number of times (1 to 255 times) notified from the main control unit 100. Execute. Therefore, in the case of the blue 7 symbol, the minimum is two or more and the maximum is 256. For example, assuming five times, the first special additional game is executed after the first symbol display game is completed, and the second special additional game is executed after the second symbol display game is completed. After the fifth symbol display game is completed, the fifth special additional game is executed. That is, five extra games are performed consecutively for five games. In order to perform a reel effect on the main control unit 100 in a frozen state (a state in which the progress of the game is delayed) from the start of the next game until the normal operation of the stop button unit 10 becomes possible, the main control unit 100 Although the designated number of additions is determined and notified, a special additional game may be executed simply by the number determined by the sub control unit 160.

  Referring to FIG. 79, when the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S815, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the operation is a freeze procedure corresponding to a freeze trigger, and if the operation is a freeze procedure, proceeds to step S820. If not, the process moves to step S860. As will be described later, the freeze procedure of the GRP1 is the first right, in which 7 blue symbols are aligned at 2nd middle and 7 red symbols are aligned at 2nd left. When the process proceeds to step S820, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not a specific external centralized terminal plate signal (hereinafter, also referred to as “converging signal”) is ON. This specific gathering signal is a signal indicating that the assist bonus is being performed, which is called a third bonus, and the bell replay role in which the small role explicit identification information is displayed in a straight line in the non-AT state (non-assist state). In the case of an internal win, if the operation is performed not in the left 1st but in the operation order in which the re-gaming combination explicit identification information is displayed, the operation is turned on, and when the operation is performed in the left 1st, the operation is turned off. In other words, the signal is turned on when the main control unit 100 recognizes that the vehicle is during AT, but is turned off when it is recognized that the vehicle is not during AT. If the end signal is ON, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S830, and if it is OFF, the process proceeds to step S860. As a result, even if the freeze trigger is won while the signal indicating the non-AT state is being output and the player accidentally operates the stop button in the freeze procedure by the penalty operation, the main control unit 100 does not perform the freeze effect. In other words, the main control unit 100 performs the freeze effect only when the freeze trigger is won while the signal indicating the AT state is being output and the player operates the stop button in the freeze procedure.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S830, when the seven blue symbols are displayed (1st right, 2nd middle), the delay processing 1 is executed in step S840, and the seven red symbols are displayed. In this case (1st right, 2nd left), delay processing 2 is executed in step S850. The delay processing 1 is relatively long, about 20 seconds, and is provided to notify that a special additional game will be performed after a freeze effect using reels is performed at the start of the next game. The delay process 2 is relatively short, on the order of about 5 seconds, and simply notifies that a special additional game is performed at the end of the next game. When these processes end, one game ends. Note that even if the blue 7 symbols and the red 7 symbols are not displayed in a straight line, the delay processing 1 or the delay processing 2 is executed as long as the operation order is the same. In other words, the player does not lose even if it cannot be pushed.

  Referring to FIG. 80, when the next game is started by a start operation and the process proceeds to step S900, the main control unit 100 executes a lottery of a combination (symbol lottery), and displays the internal winning combination (lottery result) as a sub-control unit 160. In step S910, it is determined whether or not the start condition of the reel freeze effect is satisfied (that is, the operation is performed in the operation sequence of the blue 7 symbol display corresponding to the freeze trigger). If the start condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S990 to execute the normal processing, while if the start condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S920 to turn on the effect display LED 4f. Then, the number of times N for displaying the seven blue symbols or the seven red symbols in a straight line is determined by lottery, and the number of display times N is notified to the sub control unit 160.

  The main control unit 100 rotates all the reels in step S930, but not for normal rotation control but for rotation for reel effect. When any one of the stop button units 10 is operated in step S940, the main control unit 100 causes the corresponding drum unit 2 to pseudo stop (temporary stop). This pseudo stop does not completely stop the drum unit 2, but continues fine movement up and down without changing the stop position. If at least one reel of the drum unit 2 is rotating and the corresponding stop button unit is not operated, the rotating one of the rotating units is stopped after a predetermined time (about 20 seconds) elapses. Since the reels are stopped in order from the left, the drum unit 2 pseudo stops in a maximum of 60 seconds. Further, when the two reels are stopped, the seven blue symbols or the seven red symbols are stopped so as to be always in a temporary state. The main control unit 100 determines whether or not N is 0 in step S950, and if it is 0, in step S980, the last reel is pseudo-stopped with a missing roll (non-linear display of 7 symbols) to perform a reel freeze effect. The process is ended, and the effect LED 4f is turned off. Then, the process shifts to step S990 to execute the normal process, while if it is not 0, the process shifts to step S960. That is, N = 0 means that the display has already been performed N times. However, a state in which the drum unit 2 is pseudo-stopped (temporarily stopped) may be a completely stopped state. By turning on the display LED 4f during the production, it is clearly indicated to the player that the production is a freeze production using reels. However, the stop button unit 10 is further operated, and the corresponding drum unit 2 is pseudo-stopped (temporary stop). In this case, the reel freeze effect is recognized by stopping the operation for more than 190 ms from the stop operation. In other words, instead of the normal five-frame control, the reel is given a sense of incongruity by sliding the reel for six or more frames, and the reel freeze effect is appealed.

  The main control unit 100 pseudo-stops and displays the blue 7 symbol or the red 7 symbol in a straight line in step S960, and then rotates the reel upward to display a preparation eye, and in step S970 whether the start lever 9 has been operated or It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (about 10 seconds), and a loop is performed until the condition is satisfied. If the start condition is satisfied, N-1 is calculated in step S975, and the calculation result is set as a new N and the process proceeds to step S920. Transition.

  FIGS. 81 to 87 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the window in a time-series manner. The group replay 1 to group replay 7 will be described in detail with reference to these drawings.

  Referring to FIG. 81, when the group replay 1 (GRP1) is internally won, at least the upper blue 7 replay, the middle red 7 replay, the lower normal replay, and a plurality of other replays are simultaneously won. In a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 81A), the main control unit 100 controls the first stop by the player aiming at the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol of each drum. When the right stop button 10c and the middle stop button 10b in the second stop are operated, both the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol are tempered (see FIG. 81 (B1) and FIG. 81 (C1)). Can not be determined whether winning. When the player operates the left stop button 10a in the third stop, the upper blue 7 replay wins (see FIG. 81 (D1)). Since the winning line is a middle horizontal line, the actual winning pattern is naturally different. On the other hand, when the player operates the right stop button 10c in the first stop and the left stop button 10a in the second stop aiming at the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol of each drum, the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol are both tempered. (See FIG. 81 (B2) and FIG. 81 (C2).) When the middle stop button 10b is operated at the third stop, the middle red 7 replay wins (see FIG. 81 (D2)).

  Referring to FIG. 82, when the group replay 2 (GRP2) is internally won, at least the upper right blue 7 replay, the middle red 7 replay, the lower normal replay, and other multiple replays are simultaneously won. When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 82 (A)), the main control unit 100 controls the first stop by the player aiming at the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol of each drum. When the right stop button 10c and the left stop button 10a in the second stop are operated, both the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol are tempered (see FIG. 82 (B1) and FIG. 82 (C1)). Can not be determined whether winning. When the player operates the middle stop button 10b at the third stop, the right upper blue 7 replay wins (see FIG. 82 (D1)). Since the winning line is a middle horizontal line, the actual winning pattern is naturally different. On the other hand, when the player operates the right stop button 10c at the first stop and the middle stop button 10b at the second stop aiming at the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol of each drum, both the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol are tempered. (See FIG. 82 (B2) and FIG. 82 (C2).) When the left stop button 10a is operated at the third stop, the middle red 7 replay wins (see FIG. 82 (D2)).

  Referring to FIG. 83, when the group replay 3 (GRP3) is internally won, at least the upper blue 7 replay and the middle red 7 replay, the lower normal replay, and a plurality of other replays are simultaneously won. When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 83A), the main control unit 100 controls the first stop by the player aiming at the seven blue and seven red symbols of each drum. When the right stop button 10c and the left stop button 10a in the second stop are operated, only the blue 7 symbol is tempered (see FIG. 83 (B1) and FIG. 83 (C1)). It can be determined (2 sure: determined by the second operation). When the player operates the middle stop button 10b in the third stop, the upper blue 7 replay wins (see FIG. 83 (D1)). Since the winning line is a middle horizontal line, the actual winning pattern is naturally different. On the other hand, when the player operates the right stop button 10c at the first stop and the middle stop button 10b at the second stop aiming at the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol of each drum, both the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol are tempered. (Refer to FIG. 83 (B2) and FIG. 83 (C2).) When the left stop button 10a is operated at the third stop, the middle red 7 replay wins (see FIG. 83 (D2)).

  Referring to FIG. 84, when the group replay 4 (GRP4) is internally won, at least the upper right blue 7 replay, the middle red 7 replay, the lower normal replay, and a plurality of other replays are simultaneously won. When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 84 (A)), the main control unit 100 controls the first stop by the player aiming at the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol of each drum. When the right stop button 10c and the middle stop button 10b in the second stop are operated, only the blue 7 symbol is tempered (see FIG. 84 (B1) and FIG. 84 (C1)). It can be determined (2 sure: determined by the second operation). When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the third stop, the upper blue 7 replay wins (see FIG. 84 (D1)). Since the winning line is a middle horizontal line, the actual winning pattern is naturally different. On the other hand, when the player operates the right stop button 10c in the first stop and the left stop button 10a in the second stop aiming at the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol of each drum, the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol are both tempered. (See FIG. 84 (B2) and FIG. 84 (C2).) When the middle stop button 10b is operated in the third stop, the middle red 7 replay wins (see FIG. 84 (D2)).

  Referring to FIG. 85, when the group replay 5 (GRP5) is internally won, at least the upper blue 7 replay and the middle red 7 replay, the lower normal replay, and other multiple replays are simultaneously won. When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 85 (A)), the main control unit 100 controls the first stop by the player aiming at the seven blue and seven red symbols of each drum. When the middle stop button 10b and the right stop button 10c in the second stop are operated, both the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol are tempered (see FIG. 85 (B1) and FIG. 85 (C1)). Can not be determined whether winning. When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the third stop, the upper blue 7 replay wins (see FIG. 85 (D1)). Since the winning line is a middle horizontal line, the actual winning pattern is naturally different. On the other hand, when the player operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop and the right stop button 10c at the second stop aiming at the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol of each drum, only the red 7 symbol is tempered (FIG. 85 (B2) and FIG. 85 (C2)), the player can determine that the middle red 7 replay has been won (2 sure: determined by the second operation). When the player operates the right stop button 10c in the third stop, the middle red 7 replay wins (see FIG. 85 (D2)).

  Referring to FIG. 86, when the group replay 6 (GRP6) is internally won, at least the upper blue 7 replay, the middle red 7 replay, the lower normal replay, and a plurality of other replays are simultaneously won. When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 86 (A)), the main control unit 100 controls the first stop by the player aiming at the seven blue and seven red symbols of each drum. When the middle stop button 10b and the left stop button 10a in the second stop are operated, only the blue 7 symbol is tempered (see FIG. 86 (B1) and FIG. 86 (C1)). It can be determined (2 sure: determined by the second operation). When the player operates the right stop button 10c at the third stop, the upper blue 7 replay wins (see FIG. 86 (D1)). Since the winning line is a middle horizontal line, the actual winning pattern is naturally different. On the other hand, when the player operates the middle stop button 10b at the first stop and the right stop button 10c at the second stop aiming at the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol of each drum, both the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol are tempered. Therefore (see FIG. 86 (B2) and FIG. 86 (C2)), the player cannot determine which replay wins. When the player operates the left stop button 10a at the third stop, the middle red 7 replay wins (see FIG. 86 (D2)).

  Referring to FIG. 87, when the group replay 7 (GRP7) is internally won, at least the upper right blue 7 replay, the lower normal replay, and a plurality of other replays are simultaneously won. When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 87 (A)), the main control unit 100 controls the first stop by the player aiming at the seven blue and seven red symbols of each drum. By operating the middle stop button 10b, the blue 7 symbol is stopped in the middle row and the red 7 symbol is stopped in the lower row (FIG. 87 (B)), so that the player can determine that the upper right blue 7 replay wins (1st: first) One operation). When the player operates the right stop button 10c in the second stop aiming at the blue 7 symbol and the red 7 symbol of each drum (see FIG. 87 (C1)), or operates the left stop button 10a (FIG. 87 (C2) )), Only the blue 7 symbol is tempered, and when the player performs the third stop operation, the upper right blue 7 replay wins (see FIG. 87 (D1) and FIG. 87 (D2)). In another operation order, the lower normal replay or one of the other plurality of replays always wins.

  FIG. 88 to FIG. 89 are schematic diagrams of special additional screens.

  At the start of the AT bonus in step S538 shown in FIG. 76, the sub control unit 160 displays the initial assist quantity and the acquired quantity (0 pieces at the start) in the lower left of the screen, and each time the AT game progresses, the remaining assist quantity and Update the number of wins. The assist quantity is the number of games, the number of navigations, the number of payouts, and the like, and is a numerical value for activating the assist function. For example, if the assist quantity is the number of games, when one game is consumed, the assist quantity is decremented by one. If the assist quantity is the number of times of navigation, the assist quantity does not change even if one game is completed, and when the operation order for winning the small push order is notified, the assist quantity is decremented by one. If the assist quantity is the number of payouts, the assist quantity does not change even if one game is consumed, and when the operation order for winning the small push order is notified, the number of payouts is subtracted from the assist quantity (that is, Even if the player pushes in the wrong order, it is treated as winning and paying out. In a sense, it is close to the number of navigation.)

  The sub control unit 160 executes the special additional game a plurality of times in step S740 shown in FIG. 78, or executes the special additional game once in step S760. When a plurality of N special additional games are performed with the seven blue symbols aligned, the sub control unit 160 determines the remaining assist quantity (assumed to be 25 games in this case) and the acquired number (or the net increase number) before the start. In this case, 353 images are displayed at the lower left of the screen, and the special time and the faces of the enemy characters 1 to N are displayed on the right (N is the same number. FIG. 88A). In this state, when three medals of a predetermined number are inserted by operating the max bet button 8 and the start lever 9 is effectively operated, the sub control unit 160 subtracts 1 from the remaining assist quantity and displays 24. Then, three are subtracted from the acquired number and are changed to 350 (see FIG. 88 (B)). Then, according to the operation timing of the start lever 9, a winning combination lottery is performed, and a variable display game for rotating the reel drum is started. When the pressing sequence is internally won by the role drawing, the operation sequence of the stop switch for winning the pressing sequence is displayed on the display screen, but is omitted in the figure. Since the additional loop rate is determined based on the winning combination lottery result, the operation of the start lever 9 is a moment when the player becomes muscular. Here, it is assumed that the strong bell role (the role of the bell in any order) of paying out 15 cards is internally won. That is, the sub-control unit 160 determines the additional loop rate and the additional table based on the result of the winning lottery in the latest variable display game in which the special additional lottery (continuous hit game) is performed.

  When the start condition of the special additional game (continuous hit game) is satisfied, the sub control unit 160 enables the operation of the special button 14 (press switch), and determines whether to continue the special additional game based on the operated timing. (Or a drop lottery to determine whether or not to cancel) is executed at each additional press at a loop rate. Further, an additional lottery is performed using the additional table to add the assist quantity. On the other hand, when the max bet button 8 is operated, the number of additional games is determined based on the loop rate and the expected cancellation value. Note that, when canceling, the same processing as pressing the special button 14 may be automatically performed. Upon ending the special additional game, the sub control unit 160 displays the total number of AT games obtained by the game number lottery on the display effect device 11, and when returning to the AT game, adds the remaining additional AT games to the special additional game. The total number of AT games obtained by adding the total number of AT games acquired in the game is set as a new number of AT games. Then, when the pressing order small combination is won for the number of new AT games, the operation order of the stop button unit 10 is notified.

  Specifically, referring to FIG. 88, when all reels are stopped by operating the stop switch, and the sub control unit 160 receives a command indicating that the game is over and the payout number command from the main control unit 100, The acquired number is changed to 365, the special button 14 is made operable, and “hit the special button” or “special button hit” is displayed on the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 88 (C)). Thereafter, the player hits the special button 14 nine times in succession, and the number of additional games is 1st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 10th, 4th, 5th, 5th, 1st, 6th, 1st, 7th. This indicates that 50 was won in the first round, 1 in the eighth round, and 1 in the ninth round, and a total of 73 rounds were won. That is, the added quantities from the first to the ninth times are accumulated and counted, and the counted value is displayed. FIG. 88 (C) shows a state in which the next pressing operation (the tenth pressing operation) is not performed, and a state in which the operation of the special button 14 (pressing switch) is valid.

  Referring to FIG. 89, sub-control section 160 repeatedly presses special button 14 in the state of FIG. 88 (C), and when it is out of the continuous lottery, displays the total number of added games accumulated and counted (FIG. 88). 89 (A)). When the max bet button 8 (insertion switch or insertion means) is operated, the final additional game number is determined and the special additional game (continuous hit game) is ended. At this time, the sub control unit 160 displays the acquired additional game number “plus 150” on the display screen of the display effect device 11 once, and adds the total additional assist quantity 150 to the remaining assist quantity 24 to obtain a new remaining assist quantity ( 174 is displayed as the total remaining assist quantity (see FIG. 89A). In this state, when three medals of a predetermined number are inserted by operating the max bet button 8, the sub control unit 160 subtracts three medals from the acquired number and changes it to 362 (see FIG. 88 (B)). Then, when the start lever 9 is effectively operated and the pushing order bell combination for paying out 15 coins is won, the sub-control unit 160 subtracts 1 from the remaining assist quantity, displays 173, and adds 15 to the acquired number. 377. Thereafter, the second special add-on game is executed in the same manner, and it is pressed nine times to indicate that the add-on assist quantity is currently 32 (see FIG. 89 (B)). In this way, the sub control unit 160 repeats the special add-on game N times at the end of the symbol display game (main game).

  In other words, the main control unit 100 starts a symbol display game in which three or more drum units 2 in which 20 to 21 symbols are arranged on the outer periphery are started, and at least a lottery of a plurality of small roles and replay roles is performed. Perform (you may be unlucky by lottery of the role). When the stop button unit 10 provided corresponding to the drum unit 2 is operated, the corresponding reel drum is stopped, and a prize is generated according to the display result of the symbol derived when all the reel drums are stopped. I do. In addition, a loss may occur. Note that the main control unit 100 may control the sub control unit 160.

  The small role has a plurality of types of pushing order small roles, and the replay role has a plurality of types of pushing order replay roles. The sub control unit 160 determines that if at least the assist quantity is present during the assist game, the pushing sequence is small. The operation order of the stop button unit 10 according to the (push order small combination or push order replay combination) is notified. When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the operation order, the main control unit 100 wins the pressing order. The sub-control unit 160 reduces the number of assists when the subtraction condition is satisfied, each time the symbol display game is completed, each time the navigation is performed, or each time the small push order is won.

  The auxiliary control unit 160 activates the operation of an operation switch (such as the special button 14 or the max bet button 8) for performing a special additional game (continuous hit game) when the special additional condition is established during the assist game. The sub control unit 160 determines the additional assist quantity for each operation of the operation switch in the special additional game, accumulates and counts the determined additional assist quantity, and terminates the special additional game at the same operation timing. Determine whether or not. When the special additional game is ended, the sub control unit 160 adds the (remaining) assist amount existing at the start of the special additional game and the additional assist amount to form a new assist amount, and determines the determined number of special additional games. Run the game repeatedly. When ending the special additional game a plurality of times, the sub-control unit 160 advances the assist game, and when the assist quantity is reduced, if at least a new assist quantity exists, the stop switch according to the pushing sequence To inform the operation order.

  FIG. 90 is a diagram showing the configuration of the small pressing order, showing that 1st is the correct operation procedure (winning order). The difference from FIG. 62 is that the role name is changed to a generic order (also referred to as “generic information” or “group name”), and a new functional sequence name is added. Similarly, FIG. 91 is a configuration diagram of the small pressing order combination, and shows that the first right is the correct answer operation procedure (winning order). The difference from FIG. 63 is the same as in FIG. Note that there are many portions common to the contents described with reference to FIGS.

  There are eight types of pressing order bell combination, a pressing order bell 1a to a pressing order bell 4b, and a generic name of them is a pressing order bell (see FIGS. 90 and 91). That is, when starting the symbol display game, the main control unit 100 selects one of a plurality of combinations (for example, a strong cherry, a weak cherry, a chance eye, a strong watermelon, a weak watermelon, a bell in any order) by a symbol lottery. One role (flag) is determined. Among the plurality of roles, eight types (a plurality of types) of the pressing order bells 1a to 4b exist. The pushing order bell 1a shown in FIG. 90 is a pushing order combination name (also referred to as “push order combination name information”), and the combination name is a pushing order bell. When the pressing order bell 1a is determined, a total of four kinds of small wins, that is, FR1 (special small win) with a payout number of nine and FR2 to FR4 each having a payout number of one, are in a winning state.

  When the start lever 9 is operated in the symbol display game, the main control unit 100 performs a random number lottery. When one of the eight types of pressing order bell combination is determined, if the notification condition is not satisfied, The first role information (role name) indicating that the determined role is the pressing order small role is transmitted. That is, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160 that the winning combination is the pushing bell role even if any one of the pushing bell combinations is won during the normal game in the non-assist state. However, information for recognizing (or discriminating, identifying, understanding, grasping, discriminating, and specifying) an operation order for winning the FR1 (specific small role) is not transmitted. For example, if the main control unit 100 transmits to the sub-control unit 160 information indicating the press-order bell 2a or the press-order bell 2b, which is the name of the press order in FIG. 90, the sub-control unit 160 stores the push-order identification table stored in the ROM 161. With reference to (correspondence data between the pressing order name and the winning order of the specific small combination. For example, data corresponding to the pressing order name and the correct operation order shown in FIG. 90 is stored in the ROM 161), the pressing order bell 2a or Recognizing that the middle → right → left is the winning operation sequence of FR1 stored in correspondence with the pressing order bell 2b, but in the non-assist state, the pressing order bell 2a of the pressing role name is not transmitted, and the pressing order of the role name is not transmitted. Send only the bell. However, although the game is generally in the non-assist state during the normal game, the push order bell role (for example, the push order bell 2a) is internally won, and the notification condition (or the push order of the push order) is activated when the mission during the normal game is activated. If the notification condition) is satisfied, the push order bell 2a of the push order name may be transmitted.

  On the other hand, when any one of the pushing bells is won during the special game in the assisting state, the main controller 100 instructs the sub-control unit 160 to push the bell 2a (the determined hand is pushed). (A piece of information for recognizing the winning order). Upon receiving the pressing order bell 2a (second combination information), the sub-control unit 160 causes the display effect device 11 to display the operation order of the stop switch corresponding to the recognized winning order. When the stop switch is operated in the winning order of the internally-pressed push-bell bell (for example, the middle right-left operation sequence of the push-bell 2a), the main control unit 100 always wins the specific small win. On the other hand, if the stop switch is not operated in the winning order, one of the other three small roles is won or missed, but even if the metaphor is won, the payout is one. Decreases. The information indicating that the determined combination is the small pressing order combination is information necessary for the sub-control unit 160 to display the effect image on the display effect device 11 irrespective of the assist state.

  That is, the main control unit 100 transmits the name of the pushing sequence to the sub-control unit 160 when the two conditions that the pressing sequence is determined and the notification condition are satisfied are satisfied. Upon receiving the pushing sequence name, the sub-control unit 160 causes the display effect device 11 to display a navigation image (see FIG. 92) based on the middle right-left operation sequence recognized from the pushing sequence name. Conversely, even when the sub-control unit 160 receives the role name, the sub-control unit 160 cannot display the navigation image because the role name does not include information for recognizing the winning order. Thus, even if the sub-control unit that controls the display of the navigation image is falsified, it is not possible to display the operation sequence of the pressing sequence, so that it is possible to avoid illegal winning.

  FIG. 93 and FIG. 94 are flowcharts showing the procedure for transmitting the combination information. The difference between FIG. 93 and FIG. 94 is that the processes of step S1010 and step S1015 are only before and after, but the present invention is a technical idea that includes both cases.

  The main control unit 100 determines whether or not to activate the assist function, and performs the transmission process of the combination information during the game main process of step S170 shown in FIG.

  The main control unit 100 determines a winning combination by random number drawing in step S1000, and proceeds to step S1010. The main control unit 100 determines whether the combination is one of the eight types of pushing order bell combination and whether the notification condition is satisfied (see step S1010 and step S1015). If these two conditions are satisfied, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub-control unit 160 of the pushing sequence name (second role information) in step S1020, but if not, in step S1030 the role name ( (First combination information) to the sub control unit 160. Upon receiving the pressing sequence name, the sub-control unit 160 causes the display effect device 11 to display the operation sequence of the stop switch corresponding to the recognized winning sequence.

  When the stop button unit 10 is operated in step S1040, the main control unit 100 stops the corresponding drum unit 2, and in step S1050, all the reel drums (the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c) stop. At that time, a winning combination determination is made according to the display result of the symbol derived in step S1060, and a payout process of medals according to the small winning combination is executed in step S1070. In addition, the main control unit 100 always wins the specific small combination when the stop switch is operated in the winning order of the internally-selected pushing sequence bell combination (for example, the middle right and left operation sequence of the pushing sequence bell 2a).

  FIG. 95 is a diagram showing the configuration of the small pressing order combination, in which 1st is the correct answer operation procedure (winning order). The difference from FIG. 90 is that the pressing sequence name is deleted. Similarly, FIG. 96 is a configuration diagram of the pushing order small combination, and shows that the right 1st is the correct answer operation procedure. The difference from FIG. 91 is the same as in FIG. It should be noted that there are many portions common to the contents described in FIG. 62, FIG. 63, FIG. 90 and FIG.

  When the start lever 9 is operated in the symbol display game, the main control unit 100 performs a random number lottery. When one of the eight types of pressing order bell combination is determined, if the notification condition is not satisfied, The first role information (role name) indicating that the determined role is the pressing order small role is transmitted. That is, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160 that the winning combination is the pushing bell role even if any one of the pushing bell combinations is won during the normal game in the non-assist state. However, the order information for recognizing (or discriminating, identifying, understanding, grasping, discriminating, and specifying) the operation order for winning the FR1 (specific small role) is not transmitted.

  On the other hand, when any one of the pushing order bells wins during the special game in the assist state, the main control unit 100 causes the sub-control unit 160 to determine that the winning combination is the pushing order bell role and FR1 (special small). Second role information to which order information for recognizing the operation order for winning the role is notified. Upon receiving the pushing order bell combination and the order information (second combination information), the sub control unit 160 causes the display effect device 11 to display the operation order of the stop switch corresponding to the recognized winning order (see FIG. 92). . When the stop switch is operated in the winning order of the internally-pressed push-bell bell (for example, the middle right-left operation sequence of the push-bell 2a), the main control unit 100 always wins the specific small win. However, if the stop switch is not operated in the winning order, any of the other three small roles will be won or missed. Decreases. The information indicating that the determined combination is the small pressing order combination is information necessary for the sub-control unit 160 to display the effect image on the display effect device 11 irrespective of the assist state. Since the sub control unit 160 receives the order information corresponding to the pressing order bell combination from the main control unit 100, there is a unique effect that the pressing order data need not be stored in the ROM 161.

  FIG. 97 is a flowchart showing the procedure for transmitting the combination information.

  The main control unit 100 determines whether or not to activate the assist function, and performs the transmission process of the combination information during the game main process of step S170 shown in FIG.

  The main control unit 100 determines a winning combination by random number drawing in step S1200, and proceeds to step S1210. The main control unit 100 determines whether the combination is one of the eight types of pushing order bell combination and whether the notification condition is satisfied (see step S1210 and step S1215). If these two conditions are satisfied, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160 of the pressing order bell information and the order information (second combination information) of the role name in step S1220. Notifies the sub control unit 160 of the pressing order bell information of the role name (first role information) in step S1230. Upon receiving the pressing order bell information and the order information, the sub control unit 160 causes the display effect device 11 to display the operation order of the stop switch corresponding to the winning order recognized based on the order information.

  When the stop button unit 10 is operated in step S1240, the main control unit 100 stops the corresponding drum unit 2, and in step S1250, all the reel drums (the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c) stop. At that time, a winning combination determination is made in accordance with the symbol display result derived in step S1260, and a medal payout process corresponding to the small winning combination is executed in step S1270. In addition, the main control unit 100 always wins the specific small combination when the stop switch is operated in the winning order of the internally-selected pushing sequence bell combination (for example, the middle right and left operation sequence of the pushing sequence bell 2a).

Application example:
FIG. 106 is a conceptual diagram showing a game state transition diagram.

  FIG. 106A illustrates an internal state of a so-called zero-both gaming machine that is currently mainstream, and is controlled by the main control unit 100. In the general game, the prescribed number is three, the replay winning probability is about 1 / 7.3, and two kinds of BBs are also drawn. The two types of BBs are independently won, and can be won only at the time of this winning. When two kinds of BBs are won, a bonus game in which the two kinds of BBs are activated is performed. Since the specified number is two and two small wins are always won, there is no increase or decrease in the meantime. If the two kinds of BBs do not win in the game that has been won alone, the next game is a medium game inside the two kinds of BBs, and the winning probability of the replay becomes a high probability re-game state of about 3/5 (about 60%). Note that the game state is maintained even if the step setting value is re-entered. In other words, if the game is performed in a state where the two types of BBs are always internally won and the pressing order notifies the operation order at the time of winning, the net increase is 3 cards / game, but if it is not notified, no prize can be won. Therefore, the number of game medals decreases, and if there are 50 medals in hand, about 30 games can be executed. As a rare small role, a cherry role, a watermelon role, a chance eye, a strong bell, and the like are won, and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a notification game is activated, which is advantageous for the player.

  FIG. 106 (B) shows a gaming state controlled by the sub control unit 160. The symbol display game is mainly executed in one of the base game and the AT game (specific game). 100 may control. In the normal game, basically, the operation order for winning the small push order is not notified, but the operation order for winning the special replay role 1 and the special replay role 2 in the acquisition game state 1 is notified. There is. In the AT game, when the pressing order small win is internally won, an operation order according to the pressing order small winning is notified, and the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, and the right stop button 10c are operated in the winning operation order. , The target small role (purpose small role) constituting the push order small role wins.

  On the other hand, when the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, and the right stop button 10c are operated in different operation orders, one of the obstruction small win 1 or the obstruction small win 2 constituting the push order small win wins. , Overflow. Therefore, in the AT game, since the operation order of the small pressing order is notified, the player has an advantage over the normal game. The inhibition small combination 1 is a small combination (one-payout) that is drawn in when the first operation is not in the winning order (in the case of an incorrect answer). Depending on the operation timing, the small combination 1 wins or misses. The inhibition small combination 2 is a small combination (one-piece payout) that is drawn when the first operation is in the winning order (correct answer) and the second operation is not in the winning order (incorrect case), and will always win. However, depending on the operation timing, it can be omitted.

In the normal game, when a predetermined number of games (for example, 32 games) are consumed in the normal game state, the normal game state ends and the game mode shifts to the determination game state 1a. That is, the number of remaining games is reduced to 31, 30, 29... Each time one game is consumed, and when the number of remaining games reaches 0, the game mode shifts to the determination game state 1a.
The sub-control unit 160 controls the first item and the second item (even the same item) by the rare role internally won during the base game of the 32 games, or the special replay role 1, the special replay role 2 and the single small role that have been won. A plurality of types of items having different colors and shapes) are obtained and stored in the RAM 162. In addition, the sub-control unit 160 causes the display effect device 11 to individually display the first item (army item) and the second item (gavel item) (for example, five military items and eight gavel items). ).

  The sub-control unit 160 increases the number of games based on the first item stored in the RAM 162 (for example, since there are five first items, 5 is added to 8 games and the number is increased to 13 games). This means that the number of games for defeating 100 HP enemies has increased, which works for the player in an advantageous manner. The sub control unit 160 executes the symbol display game in the determination game state 1a based on the increased number of games, and updates the HP based on the second item for each game in the determination game state 1a (for example, HP) 20 out of 100 enemies will be defeated and the remaining HP enemies will be 80). Further, in addition to the second item, the HP is updated based on the lottery result of the role (particularly, a large number of enemies can be defeated with the rare small role) (for example, 20 out of 80 enemies of the HP). Defeat a person with the second item and defeat 55 with a single cherry, leaving 5 enemies for the remaining HP.) The sub-control unit 160 triggers that the updated number of enemies of the HP satisfies 0 (predetermined condition) before the increased number of games becomes 0 and the symbol display game in the determination game state 1a ends. The game is shifted to the AT game in the specific game state via the quantity determination game state 1. However, the number of initial games, for example, 50 games, 200 cards, or the like may be determined in advance without passing through the quantity determination game state 1. On the other hand, when the increased number of games becomes 0 and the symbol display game in the determination game state 1a ends, the sub-control unit 160 does not satisfy the updated number of enemies of the HP of 0 (predetermined condition). In this case, when the game returns to the normal game state and the predetermined number of games (for example, 32 games) are consumed, the game state returns to the determination game state 1a.

  The quantity determination game state 1 uses, for example, the same processing subroutine as in the special additional zone D, as described with reference to FIGS. 78, 79, and 80. Specifically, in the case of the special additional zone D, the special button 14 is repeatedly struck, and a continuous lottery (punk lottery or falling lottery) and an additional lottery are performed for each operation, and the continuous lottery is removed (punk lottery or The total value of the values won in the additional lottery is used as the additional number for activating the assist function, and the additional guaranteed number is added to the minimum guaranteed number of 30 games to be displayed on the display effect device 11. Store in RAM.

  Acquisition game state 1 is a specialized zone for acquiring the first item and the second item. In the normal gaming state, if a rare small role is won, a transitional lottery is performed to determine the winning gaming state, and the game state is changed to an AT game in a specific gaming state by a battle victory. When the number of times of the game is exhausted, the determination game state 1a is performed.

  In the AT game, a predetermined number of games N2 is first determined by lottery (for example, 30 games to 35 games). When the predetermined game number N2 (for example, 30 games) is consumed in the specific game state, the specific game state ends and the game mode shifts to the determination game state 2a. That is, the number of remaining games is reduced to 29, 28, 27,. The sub-control unit 160 controls the first item and the second item in the same manner as in the base game by the rare role that has been internally won during the 30 AT games, or the special replay role 1, the special replay role 2, and the one small role that have won. Two items (a plurality of types of items having the same item but different colors and shapes) are acquired and stored in the RAM 162. In addition, the sub-control unit 160 causes the display effect device 11 to individually display the first item (army item) and the second item (gavel item) (for example, five military items and eight gavel items). ).

  The sub-control unit 160 increases the HP of the hero warrior (friend character) based on the first item stored in the RAM 162 (for example, since there are five first items, 13 points are obtained by adding 5 points to the initial HP 10 points) To increase). This means that the hero's HP has increased, and it will be advantageous to the player. The sub-control unit 160 executes the symbol display game in the determination game state 2a, and determines whether to reduce (update) the HP of the enemy warlord or reduce (update) the HP of the hero warrior based on the lottery result of the winning combination. decide. Specifically, if the attacking role is a rare small role, a single small role, a pushing small role, etc., the HP of the enemy warlord is reduced and the HP of the enemy warlord satisfies 0 (predetermined condition or victory condition). , The game is won and the game mode is shifted to the quantity determination game state 2. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 reduces the HP of the hero if it is a defensive role such as a replay role, and loses when the HP of the hero satisfies 0 (predetermined condition or defeat condition). When the game returns to the specific game state and the new predetermined number of games (for example, 40 games) is consumed, the game state returns to the determination game state 2a. In particular, the game is devised in the next game in which the main character's HP is reduced and the remaining HP is equal to or less than a predetermined number (for example, 5 points remaining). If at least one second item is stored in the RAM 162, the sub-control unit 160 sets the next game as a game with only an attack. Specifically, if the result of the lottery of the role in the next game is a defense role such as a replay role, all the stored second items are combined and attacked to reduce the HP of the enemy warlord. Further, if the lottery result of the role in the next game is an attacking role such as a rare small role, all the stored second items and the attacking portion are added and attacked to reduce the HP of the enemy warlord. . As a result, a trump-type attack, the final attack, can be performed, and the player feels excitement and excitement. As a matter of course, if no second item is stored in the RAM 162, if the result of the lottery of the role in the next game is a defense, if the player receives an attack and the HP becomes 0, the battle is lost.

  The quantity determination game state 2 uses the same processing subroutine as in the special additional zone D as described with reference to FIGS. 78, 79 and 80, for example. Specifically, in the case of the special additional zone D, the special button 14 is repeatedly struck, and a continuous lottery (punk lottery or falling lottery) and an additional lottery are performed for each operation, and the continuous lottery is removed (punk lottery or And the sum of the values won in the additional lottery is used as the additional number for activating the assist function, and this additional number is added to the remaining number, displayed on the display effect device 11 and stored in the RAM. I do.

  Acquisition game state 2 is a specialized zone for acquiring the first item and the second item. In the specific gaming state, if the rare small role is won, the transition to the lottery is determined to be a winning gaming state 2b, and the game is shifted to the quantity determining gaming state 2 by a battle victory, while returning to the original specific gaming state by defeat and remaining When the number of games is exhausted, the determination game state 2a is performed. However, the game is defeated in the determination game state 2a, and the predetermined number of games N2 is determined by lottery first (however, a fixed 40 games may be used). If the number of AT games is 20, the player cannot digest the 40 games, and thus cannot perform the determination game state 2a, and is discouraged at that time (the difference is 20 games). In order to solve this, if the remaining AT game number does not reach the predetermined game number N2, when the rare small win is won, a process is performed so as to be always added by lottery. For example, since five or more additional games in which the rare small role is won are determined, the number of difference games is reduced (if the difference is 20 games and five additional games are won, the number of difference games is 15 games).

  As a further contrivance, when the number of remaining AT games becomes 0 in the specific game state, a resumption game transfer lottery is performed. In this resurrection game shift lottery, the closer the difference game number is to zero, the easier it is to win. Specifically, there is a difference game number table, and the probability of 80% for 1 to 3 games, 60% for 4 to 10 games, 40% for 11 to 20 games, and 20% for 21 or more games Is to be elected. When the resurrection game shift lottery is won, the game shifts to the resurrection game state. On the other hand, when the game is lost (non-election), the specific game state ends, and the game shifts to the normal game state. The resurrection game state uses, for example, the same processing subroutine as in the special additional zone D as described with reference to FIGS. 78, 79, and 80. More specifically, the number of clears is determined in advance by lottery, and the special button 14 is repeatedly struck to continuously win the continuous lottery (or not win the falling lottery) every time the operation is performed. If the special button 14 is hit only 95 times (20 times at 95%), the game is revived and returns to the original specific game state. At this time, since the game is added exactly by the number of difference games, it is possible to reach the determination game state 2a and execute the determination game. Thereby, the player feels excitement and excitement. On the other hand, if the continuous lottery is not won (or the falling lottery is won) before hitting the number of times of clearing, a fall (failure) occurs, the AT game ends, and the normal game state of the normal game is entered.

  FIG. 98 is a front view of the sand device.

  The sand device 300 is generally installed one-to-one on either the right side or the left side of the gaming machine main body 1 (the spinning-type gaming machine main body 1) so that two-way communication with the credit control unit 165 is possible. , Connected by a wire harness. The credit control unit 165 is, like the main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160, an integrated one-chip microcomputer equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU. Manages credit information and player-specific information (address, name, age, password, telephone number, etc.).

  Reference numeral 310 denotes a bill insertion unit which can insert only a 1,000-yen bill, a 5,000-yen bill, and a 10,000-yen bill at present. For example, when cash of 10,000 yen is inserted, the data display unit 320 displays 100 as the corresponding frequency. An operation unit 330 performs a switching operation between a mode using cash or a mode using cards inserted into the card insertion unit 340. The operation unit 330 includes a 10 key 331 for inputting a password when a member card is inserted. This member card stores stored credit information (stored medal information) and player management information as stored cash information and game value information that have not been used in the game. If the member card is inserted into the checkout device, the cash corresponding to the stored cash information can be settled. In addition, it is possible not only to exchange for a prize corresponding to the stored credit information, but also to reuse as a medal for a pachislot game. Of course, it is also possible to play pachinko games by recording stored ball information.

  FIG. 99 is a flowchart showing the settlement processing procedure.

  When the payment button 6 is operated while the game is on standby (see steps S130 to S160 shown in FIG. 22), the main control unit 100 calls this subroutine and checks the game mode in step S1300. In this game mode, the hall side operates the game mode selection switch in advance to set the game mode to either the normal game mode using the current game medal or the credit mode using the sanding device 300. The main control unit 100 checks the game mode selection switch when the power is turned on, and determines whether to set a game mode flag. For example, in the normal game mode, the game mode flag is 0, and in the credit mode, the game mode flag is 1. The main control unit 100 checks the game mode flag in step S1310, and if 0, determines that the game mode is the normal game mode, and 1 if it is the credit mode.

  In the case of the credit mode, the main control unit 100 performs the credit settlement process in step S1320, and in the case of the normal game mode, performs the game medium payout process in step S1330. The credit settlement processing is to transmit a settlement processing command and the currently inserted credit information (the number of medals, the number of pachinko balls, and the like) to the credit control unit 165. In the game medium payout process, the main control unit 100 itself calculates the total number of inserted coins (the number displayed by the inserted number LED 4a) and the total number of stored medals (the number displayed by the stored token number display LED 4b) in the medal payout device 18 ( This is the process of paying out from the medal hopper 18). However, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the replay combination has won in step S1340, and if the replay combination has won, the main control unit 100 cannot pay out the insertion number indicated by the insertion number LED 4a. Therefore, only the number of stored medals is paid out, and a warning notification command is transmitted to the sub control unit 160 in step S1350. Upon receiving the payout warning notification command at the time of winning the replay combination, the sub-control unit 160 causes the display effect device 11 to display a warning message saying "Replay has won. Please play the game." From 12, a warning sound or a warning comment of the same effect such as “Replay has won. Please play the game.” Is issued, and this subroutine ends. The main control unit 100 receives the start operation when the start lever 9 is operated in a state where the sub control unit 160 displays a warning on the display effect device 11 and emits a warning sound from the speaker unit 12, and A warning end command is transmitted to the sub control unit 160, and the replay is executed. When receiving the warning end command, the sub-control unit 160 ends the display and utterance of the warning.

  Upon receiving the settlement processing command and the currently input credit information (data 0 to 3), the credit control unit 165 adds up the stored credits (data 0 to 99) displayed by the stored credit display unit. For example, if the credit information is 3 and the storage credit is 35, the total value is 38. The credit control unit 165 transmits the return command and the total credit value to the sand device 300.

  When the sanding device 300 receives game value data corresponding to a total of 35 credits from the credit control unit 165, the sand device 300 stores the inserted cash balance information and game value data in an information recording medium such as a built-in member card or a visitor. After the addition and recording, the card is discharged from the card insertion unit 340 to the outside of the sand device. For example, if the cash balance displayed by the sand device 300 is 8000 yen, the cash balance of the member card is 3000 yen, and 1210 stored medals (credits) are recorded, the new cash balance is 11000 yen, and the new cash balance is 11000 yen. The number of stored medals is recorded as 1248 and is discharged out of the sanding device.

  FIG. 100 is a block diagram of a control circuit system of the spinning-type gaming machine.

  The difference from FIG. 5 is that only the credit of the electronic data is used for the pachislot game, and no game medal (or a game medium such as a pachinko ball) is used, so that the medal detection sensor 130 and the medal payout device 18 are eliminated. It is a point. Further, as mechanical components, the medal selection device, the medal insertion slot 5, the receiving tray 15, the medal passage, and the like become unnecessary. Therefore, the game mode selection switch described with reference to FIG. 99 is not provided. In addition, instead of the payment button 190 being eliminated, a return button described below is provided. When the return button is operated, a return signal (return pulse) is input from the credit control unit 165 to the main control unit 100. The credit display unit corresponds to the medal accumulated number display LED 4b, and the credit control unit 165 performs display control.

  FIG. 101 is a schematic diagram of the display unit and the operation unit.

  FIG. 101 (A) shows a cash count display unit 321 and a credit count display unit 322 included in the data display unit 320 of the sand device 300, and a return button 332, a switching button 333, and a payout button 334 included in the operation unit 330. Is shown. The cash frequency display unit 321 includes three seven-segment displays, and the credit frequency display unit 322 includes five. When a 10,000-yen bill is inserted into the bill insertion unit 310 of FIG. 98, the cash frequency display unit 321 displays 100. That is, one frequency corresponds to 100 yen. When the return button 332 included in the operation unit 330 is operated in this state, the visitor card in which 100 degrees are recorded as the balance information is returned from the card insertion unit 340. When the visitor card is inserted into the card insertion section 340 again, the same state is established, and a game of 100 times is possible. Note that, as shown in FIG. 101 (D), the seven-segment display device is turned on when filled in black, and turned off when white.

  When the member card is inserted into the card insertion section 340, the input of a 4-digit password is required. If the password input by operating the 10 key 331 is correct, the balance information recorded on the member card is displayed in the cash frequency display section. 321 is displayed. When the switch button 333 is operated once in this state, the remaining credit information recorded on the member card is displayed on the credit frequency display section 322. When the operation of the switch button 332 is repeated again, the display of the remaining credit information is alternately switched with the remaining credit information for each operation. For example, assuming that the balance information recorded on the member card is 6,000 yen, a 1000-yen bill can be inserted into the bill insertion unit 310, and the balance information is updated to 7000 yen. On the other hand, if the balance information is 6000 yen, the 5000 yen bill and the 10,000 yen bill cannot be additionally inserted. The reason is that the remaining balance information that can be recorded on the member card has an upper limit of 10,000 yen (predetermined amount), and the total amount exceeds the predetermined amount. Similarly, a member card whose cash balance information is 4000 yen or less can be inserted when 10,000 yen of cash is inserted into the bill insertion portion 310 and the balance is 6000 yen, but a member card whose balance information exceeds 4000 yen. Cannot be inserted.

  That is, when cash is inserted into the bill insertion unit 310 in a state where the membership card is inserted, the sand device 300 determines the type of bill (one of a 1,000-yen bill, a 5,000-yen bill, and a 10,000-yen bill). Recognize If the total of the remaining balance information recorded on the member card and the recognized cash is equal to or less than 10,000 yen (a predetermined amount), the cash is accepted and the total amount is displayed on the cash count display unit 321. If not, the cash is discharged from the bill insertion unit 310. Conversely, when the member card is inserted into the card insertion unit 340 in a state where cash is inserted, the sand device 300 recognizes the balance information recorded on the member card. If the total of the cash balance and the information on the remaining balance of the recognized member card is 10,000 yen (predetermined amount) or less, the member card is accepted and the total amount is displayed on the cash frequency display section 321, but the member card is not accepted. In this case, the cash is discharged from the card insertion unit 340.

  FIG. 101B is a schematic diagram of the credit display unit.

  Reference numeral 169 denotes a credit display unit, which corresponds to the conventional medal storage number display LED 4b, and is arranged in the display LED block 4. Like the credit frequency display unit 322 of the sanding device 300, it is configured with five 7-segment displays, and can display the credit frequency from 0 to 99999. However, since the credit frequency is stored even if it exceeds that, it is possible to play a game or exchange for a prize. The card balance display section 50 is composed of three 7-segment displays, and is provided at the place where the medal insertion section 5 was arranged. The card balance display unit displays the inserted cash as balance information (100 yen per frequency), similarly to the cash frequency display unit 321. For example, when a 10,000-yen bill is inserted into the bill insertion unit 310 (see FIG. 98), the card balance display unit 50 displays 100, and when the lending button 51 is operated, 90 is displayed by subtracting 10 degrees corresponding to 1000 yen. Then, the credit frequency display unit 322 displays 50. That is, one credit is equivalent to 0.2 credits and 20 yen in cash. Here, when the return button 52 (corresponding to the conventional settlement button 6) is operated, the visitor card in which the cash balance of 90 degrees (cash information of 9000 yen) and the credit balance (saving credit) 50 are recorded is returned from the card insertion unit 340. You. Even if the return button 332 is operated, a visitor card on which similar information is recorded is returned.

  102 to 105 are schematic diagrams of the display unit.

  When the player inserts the membership card into the card insertion section 340 of the sanding device 300, the user is required to enter a four-digit password, and if the password entered by operating the 10 key 331 is correct, the password is recorded on the membership card. The balance information is displayed on the cash frequency display unit 321 (see FIG. 102A). It is assumed that the member card records 8000 yen as the balance information and 12345 (corresponding to the current 12345 medals) as the balance information.

  The sand device 300 reads the balance information and displays “80” on the cash count display unit 321, displays “−−−−” (5 bars) on the credit count display unit 322, and displays the cash mode command and the balance information. Send When receiving the cash mode command and the balance information from the sand device 300, the credit control unit 165 recognizes that the balance is 80 and uses the cash mode, and displays 80 on the card balance display unit 50. When the player operates the payout button 334 in this state, the sand device 300 transmits a payout command to the credit control unit 165. After performing authentication (confirming that there is no abnormality or no abnormality) by the mutual communication, the sand device 300 displays 70 on the cash frequency display unit 321, and the credit control unit 165 displays the credit frequency 50 and the card on the credit display unit 169. The cash frequency 70 is displayed on the balance display unit 50 (see FIG. 102 (B)). Similarly, when the player operates the lending button 51 in the state of FIG. 102 (A), the credit control unit 165 transmits a lending command to the sand device 300. Then, authentication is performed through mutual communication, and the same display as in FIG. 102B is performed.

  When the player operates the switch button 333 in the state of FIG. 102 (A), the sand device 300 reads the credit information, displays “12345” on the credit frequency display unit 322, and displays −−− (on the cash frequency display unit 321. 3) and a credit mode command is transmitted. When the credit control unit 165 receives the credit mode command from the sand device 300, the credit display unit 169 remains at 0 and the card balance display unit 50 displays Crt (abbreviation of Credit) on the card balance display unit 50. (See FIG. 103A). When the player operates the payout button 334 or the lending button 51 in this state, the player is authenticated by mutual communication (communication including transmission / reception of the payout command or the lending command), and the credit frequency 50 which is the minimum unit of the payout credit is displayed in the credit display unit. 169. The credit frequency display unit 322 displays 12295, which is a value obtained by subtracting 50 from 12345 (see FIG. 103B). That is, the credit frequency 50 is paid out to the credit control unit 165 from the sand device 300 at any time by one payout operation or lending operation. However, when the credit display unit 169 displays even one credit, the credit may not be paid out even if the payout operation or the lending operation is performed. That is, the credit frequency 50, which is the minimum unit, is paid out only when the credit display unit 169 displays credit 0.

  The credit control unit 165 changes the state of inputting data 00 to the data input circuit 166 to the state of inputting data 11 indicating a credit number of 3 or more in the state of FIG. 102 (B) or FIG. 103 (B). I do. When the max bet button 8 is operated in this state (three inserted LEDs 4a are turned off and the number of bets is not set), the main control unit 100 turns on three inserted LEDs 4a, and only credits are three. The insertion data indicating that the bet has been inserted is output to the credit control unit 165. The credit control unit 165 causes the credit display unit 169 (reserved credit display unit) to display 47, which is a value obtained by subtracting credit 3 (see FIGS. 104A and 104B). In this state, when the player operates the return button 52 (credit return switch) or the return button 332, the credit control unit 165 receives a signal from the return button sensor 168, and outputs a return signal to the data input circuit 166 for one pulse. Input. The main control unit 100 sets a predetermined number of three bets for one game, and operates the return button 52 in a state where the game can be started and receives a return signal from the data input circuit 166. The bet amount data indicating the bet amount of 3 is transmitted to the credit control unit 165.

  Upon receiving the bet amount data, the credit control unit 165 transmits return credit information (game value) indicating that the return credit is 50 (value obtained by calculating 47 + 3) to the sand device 300. Note that the data indicating 47 and the data indicating 3 may be transmitted as they are. The sand device 300 adds the return credit of 50 to the member card or the like, records the cash balance frequency and the credit balance frequency, and discharges the same. In the case of FIG. 104 (A), a 70-degree cash balance and a credit balance 12395 (a value obtained by calculating 12345 + 50) are recorded on the discharged member card or the like. In the case of FIG. 104 (B), the ejected member card or the like records 80 cash balances and the credit balance 12345 (the value obtained by calculating 12295 + 50) (that is, the same as the original record information). And it has not changed). FIG. 105 shows a display state after the membership card or the like has been ejected. The cash count display unit 321, the credit count display unit 322, and the card balance display unit 50 all display "-", and the credit display unit 169 displays "-". With the display of "0", all of the input number LEDs 4a are turned off. When the player operates the return button 52 in a state where the replay combination (replay combination) has won and the next one game can be executed, the main control unit 100 transmits the bet amount data indicating 0 of the bet amount. Then, the credit control unit 165 transmits return credit information (game value) that the return credit is 47 to the sand device 300. The sand device 300 adds the return credit 47 to the member card or the like, records the cash balance frequency and the credit balance frequency, and discharges the same. The main control unit 100 outputs a warning command to the sub control unit 160 because replay is possible. The sub-control unit 160 displays a warning screen on the display effect device 11, generates a warning sound from the speaker unit 12, and notifies the player that replay is possible.

  As another embodiment, when the player operates the return button 52 or the return button 332 in the state of FIG. 104 (A), the state of FIG. 102 (B) is returned by returning three bets by the first operation. Alternatively, the state shown in FIG. 105 may be obtained by the second operation. Similarly, when the player operates the return button 52 or the return button 332 in the state of FIG. 104 (B), the number of bets is returned by the first operation to the state of FIG. 103 (B), The state shown in FIG. 105 may be obtained by the second operation. That is, when the credit control unit 165 receives information that the number of returned bets is 0 from the main control unit 100 by operating any of the return buttons, the credit control unit 165 records the cash balance frequency and the credit balance frequency on the sand device 300 on a member card or the like. And let it drain.
