Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine (including a pachinko machine) such as a pachislot machine using a medal as a game medium and a slot machine (turning-type gaming machine) called a pachilot using a pachinko ball as a game medium.

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

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, games using a spinning-type gaming machine called a pachislot machine have been actively performed as entertainment at conventional pachinko halls and pachislot-only stores. In addition, in video game machines installed in gaming facilities and the like, and in personal computers and game machines of ordinary households via the Internet, substitute coins and credits (that is, "game media") are used to simulate a torso type game. A simulation game has been played.

  For example, in a normal game of the above-described spinning-type gaming machine, when a player inserts a predetermined number (predetermined amount) of game medals (game media) and then operates a start lever, a bonus combination and a plurality of types of bonus medals are obtained at that timing. An internal lottery of a small role or a replay role (re-playing role) is executed (hereinafter, also referred to as "internal lottery"), and a plurality of winding drums (in most cases, three or four reel drums) are taken from above. A fluctuation display game in which a plurality of symbols (usually, the symbols are arranged on a reel tape and stuck on the outer periphery of each drum) are rotated downward to change a plurality of symbols arranged on the winding drum. At the same time, the player operates the stop button corresponding to each drum, and a symbol such as a bell, a watermelon, a cherry, etc. of the internally won small portion is displayed in a predetermined combination on an activated line, and a prize is won. 1 ~ When about five game medals are paid out, when a replay symbol is displayed on an active line and replay (re-game) is activated (hereinafter, also referred to as "winning"), a game medal is inserted. There is no (or the number of coins inserted in the previous game is inserted as it is), and a replayable state in which the next normal game can be performed is set.

  In particular, in the case of a spinning-type gaming machine referred to as an A type, a big bonus (1 type BB or 2 types BB) is internally won according to a result of an internal lottery of a normal game, and specified by an individual stop operation of a reel drum. When the symbols (for example, seven red symbols and seven blue symbols) are stopped and displayed on the activated line, a big bonus game mode (BB game mode: character continuous operation) which is the most advantageous game mode for the player Device operation), and a large number of game medals can be obtained at a stretch. When the regular bonus is won and the bar symbols are aligned on the activated line as a specific symbol, a regular bonus game (RB game) is executed, and a suitable game medal can be obtained although it is not as good as the BB game. In any case, for the player, establishing these bonus games is of the utmost concern in the torso game. When a bonus game is won or released as a result of executing an internal lottery, a bonus flag is set up in a data storage area such as a RAM or RWM and stored, so that a specific symbol (7 symbols or a bar symbol) is obtained. Until is completed, the flag is carried over to the subsequent variable display game.

By the way, the conventional spinning-type gaming machine (Unit 4) has a relatively high gambling property.
The Act on Regulations on Customs Sales, etc. and the Optimization of Business (Last Amendment: Law No. 55 of May 30, 2003) came into effect, and the newest spinning-type amusement machine called Unit 5 Applied.

  For example, in the No. 5 spinning machine, the payout rate (short term, medium term, long term) is very finely regulated by rules, and in a big bonus game (BB game), the number of game medals and the like obtained 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 are obtained, although they do not reach the BB game. In particular, the bonus stock function, which can be said to be the greatest feature of the conventional spinning-type gaming machine (No. 4), was banned by the same rules, and as a result, it was not possible to continuously release the bonus role (repeatedly). Since the playability and gambling have been extremely reduced, the players (slotters) who have been excellent customers are moving away from customers.

  However, the regulations have been somewhat relaxed even in such a strict regulation situation, and as a result, new ideas have been devised. As a result, a slot machine equipped with an ART function (assist replay time function) has been developed. Was. The ART function is a symbol stop operation procedure (operating sequence of a stop switch and an operation timing for aiming at a color of a bonus symbol) for winning a small winning combination internally in a high-probability replay state in which a replay is easy to win. This is a function to notify (or assist) with a liquid crystal display or voice, and is currently the mainstream of the No. 5 slot machine.

  Further, an AT machine has been developed in which the state of internally winning the bonus combination (two types of BBs) is maintained, and the probability of winning a re-game during a normal game and a special game is increased. The AT machine is equipped with an assist bonus (third bonus) for activating the assist function. When the AT bonus is won, when the push order small win is internally won, a notification of the correct push order is issued. Thus, a small winning combination with the largest payout number among a plurality of simultaneously winning small winning combinations is taken. On the other hand, during the normal game, the assist function is not activated, and the player cannot know the correct operation procedure at the time of winning the small pressing order, so that the number of medals (ball possession) decreases as the number of games is repeated. It has become.

  By the way, as an original technology of AT developed by the applicant (Japanese Patent No. 4428725), a single symbol small part is internally won, and when the operation procedure of the stop button is correct, a predetermined symbol (for example, a bell symbol) is awarded on a plurality of lines. On the other hand, there is a method of stopping on a small number of lines due to an incorrect answer. Then, when the AT bonus is won, the operation procedure of the correct answer is notified to the player to make a difference in the number of obtained medals. Further, at the time of the AT bonus, the game is shifted to the high-probability re-game state, and the loss is almost eliminated, so that a large number of medals can be obtained without reducing the number of medals on hand, and a large wave of balls can be generated to improve the game performance.

  The present invention provides a new game device for preventing disadvantages due to erroneous operations and for an AT bonus or an ART bonus, and provides a movable role including a movable portion that can be moved by a player.

Definition:
Replay refers to a combination of pictures that can be played without making a bet for the next play in a pachislot (rotary-type gaming machine). The name on the pachislot test rules (rules on the recognition of gaming machines and the verification of model types) is replay (saiyuugi). Further, the “replay role” used in the claims may be a group replay role in which a plurality of replay roles 1 to replay roles n are simultaneously internally won, and any one of the replay roles is given the highest priority (bonus role). Also have priority). That is, the "re-game" can be performed without inserting a game medal or the like (including using a game medal for a game by operating a button or other device related to the storage device). Game.

  "Activation" is a phrase including a state in which a symbol related to a replay or a symbol combination related to a consecutive action device for an accessory is displayed on an activated line, and is used in a small portion where a game medium is paid out. Winning "is synonymous. Therefore, in this specification, the term “prize” for the replay or the “prize” for the bonus combination may be used for convenience.

  On the left side of the display effect device 11, a fish accessory 52 (movable accessory) is arranged. The lower jaw 52a of the fish accessory 52 is a movable part, and the lower jaw 52a is moved to a lower specific position (first position) from a state in which the mouth at the normal position (first position) is closed (see the left diagram in FIG. 54A). (FIG. 54 (A)). The lower jaw 52a of the movable part is at a position where the player can touch the lower jaw 52a, and the position of the lower jaw 52a can be moved up and down by the player.

  FIG. 54B is a main part configuration diagram of a drive mechanism for driving the lower jaw 52a. This drive mechanism includes a plunger 52b, a movable iron core 52c, a plunger head 52d, a lower jaw assembly 52e, a light shielding plate 52f, and an optical sensor 52g. A plunger head 52d is fixed to the movable iron core 52c of the plunger 52b, and is pressed in a separating direction (downward) by a spring (not shown) fitted between the plunger head 52c and the plunger head 52d. (See the left diagram of FIG. 54 (C)). The sub-control unit 160 performs control to move the position of the lower jaw 52a, and pulls up the movable iron core 52c upward by passing a current through the coil of the plunger 52b, and moves the plunger head 52d upward accordingly. It moves to the regulation position (see the right figure in FIG. 54 (C)). The light shielding plate 52f integrally formed with the plunger head 52d is located at a position where the light from the optical sensor 52g (including the light emitting element and the light receiving element) is not interrupted when the coil is not energized. The light-shielding plate 52f moves upward together with 52c, and blocks light in the process of moving to the regulation position. The optical sensor 52g outputs a signal for detecting that the position of the light shielding plate 52f has moved by detecting the state in which the light receiving element receives light from the light emitting element and the state in which the light receiving element does not receive light. . If the sub-control unit 160 does not receive a signal (light-shielded state detection signal) for detecting a non-light-receiving state from the optical sensor 52g, despite performing control to pull the movable iron core 52c upward, the display effect device 11 To indicate that the fish accessory 52 is not moving normally (in a malfunction state). The sub-control unit 160 displays (warning display) a message "Please replace the fish accessory 52", for example, in an initial check state when the power is turned on, after changing the setting, or after opening and closing the door.

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

  The sub-control unit 160 performs an effect of saying various lines according to the game state using the fish accessory 52 configured as described above. As the various lines, there are a plurality of lines used during the game (game lines 1 to N) and a plurality of lines used during the standby of the game (standby lines 1 to M). Further, a drive voltage pattern for moving the lower jaw 52a corresponding to each line is stored in the ROM 161. For example, the sub-control unit 160 causes the game dialogue 1 to be uttered from the speaker, and at the same time, selects a corresponding drive voltage pattern (game dialogue 1), and turns ON / OFF the voltage applied to the coil of the plunger 52b to flow current. Or cut it. As a result, the mouth of the fish accessory 52 moves swiftly, so that the fish accessory 52 can be operated as if speaking words. For example, when the middle cherry (rare role) is pulled after the start lever is operated during the game, the sub control unit 160 utters a phrase “Large Chance” and simultaneously selects a driving voltage pattern and applies the voltage applied to the plunger 52b. Is turned ON / OFF, and the two multicolored eyeball lamps 52k are lit in red. The eyeball lamp 52k emits (lights up or flashes) or turns off a desired color according to the playing state, similarly to the center lamp and the four jewelry lamps of the magic team 51.

  A game waiting state (for example, a customer waiting state, a state where medals are not inserted, a state where medals are only inserted, a non-game state where reels are not rotating: Steps S130, S150, and S150 in FIG. 20 described later) In a state of waiting while looping each step of S160), the player (customer) moves the lower jaw 52a downward from the initial position, and the optical sensor 52g detects a change from the light receiving state to the light blocking state. In this case, since the sub-control unit 160 has not performed control to move the position of the lower jaw 52a, it is determined that the player (customer) has intentionally lowered the lower jaw 52a. Don't touch it. " At the same time, the drive voltage pattern is selected, the voltage applied to the plunger 52b is turned on / off, and the two multicolored eyeball lamps 52k are lit white. Other waiting dialogues such as "No mischief", "Gyoggyogyo", "Painful", etc. can surprise the player. As a result, the player (customer) does not touch the lower jaw 52a of the fish accessory 52, which is a movable accessory, so that there is an effect that failure of the movable accessory is reduced.

  FIG. 3 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 performs control relating to a game result. The sub-block controls various effects that attract and interest the player, such as notifying and displaying the progress of the game and the result of the internal drawing. Note that the sub-block is used when the assist function managed by the main block is activated, in which the small part wins (the small part wins for the purpose of winning) or the stop operation procedure for avoiding the fall replay (the operation order of the stop button unit 10). And operation timing).

  Reference numeral 100 denotes a main control unit, which is an integrated one-chip microcomputer (for example, LEM50A-P manufactured by ELTEC Co.) equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU, and controls a predetermined data table area and the entire apparatus. And a RAM 102 (also referred to as a RWM: rewritable memory, which is formed with a counter, a register, and the like, and temporarily stores information necessary for control. .), Various registers, counters, and the like. As will be described later, this RAM 102 is stored by a RAM backup power supply (power supply capacitor on the main board) which is always supplied via a power supply connector even when the power switch 28c is turned off or the power cord is disconnected. 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 (undefined information). Become.

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

  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 / O port (not shown) and a data bus. The main controller 100 is configured to be able to control these various devices by transmitting and receiving input / output signals.

  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 it is not possible to receive any information from the external centralized terminal board 170. Absent. 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 pseudo BB signal), an external output signal 2 (for example, a pseudo RB signal), and an external output signal 3 (for example, BB signal), external output signal 4 (for example, an error signal indicating that various errors have occurred), external output signal 5 (for example, a CB signal indicating that a second type special accessory has been activated) , And a relay common signal. In particular, the two kinds of BB signals are the actual bonus role (actual bonus role), but the pseudo BB signal and the pseudo RB signal are the assist bonus role (“third bonus role”) which is a special role for which the assist information is notified. Not only is counted and managed by the hall computer (external device 1), but is also output to a data counter (external device 2) installed near the top of the pachislot machine, so that the player can play the pachislot game. Is used to display the main information (number of games, number of BBs, number of ARTs, payout information, etc.).

  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 a drum unit 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c), which is a symbol row of three rows (a plurality of rows) on which a plurality of (usually 20 or 21) symbols are drawn. The symbol variation display game is started by rotating. For example, in the random number lottery, any of the small winning combinations such as bell, cherry, watermelon, and plum are internally won (or multiple small winnings are simultaneously internally won), and the player operates the stop button unit 10 to stop. Is performed, the main control unit 100 individually stops the drum units 2 at predetermined positions based on the lottery result according to the operation order. As a result, if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on any of the activated lines set in the window 3, a winning is achieved. However, the number of active lines is not limited to five, and may be changed according to the number of inserted medals, or may be increased or decreased to one or a plurality as appropriate according to design specifications or game states.

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

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

  A sub-control unit 160 is connected to the main control unit 100 via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus, and control data (for example, coin insertion data, The lottery result, the winning situation data, the stage setting value data, the data indicating the switch operation state of the stage setting unit 150, etc.) are 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 counter, a timer, a register, and the like are formed, and a RAM 162 for temporarily storing information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100 is provided. A plurality of BGM (background music) data are stored in the ROM 161. In particular, during a bonus game, BGM specially arranged in order to elevate the player's feelings according to the production scene. Selected and played as appropriate. It is not necessary to provide the main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 separately, and it is possible to use one control unit. However, since the capacity of the ROM 101 is limited, the sub control unit 160 is generally provided. ing.

  The sub control unit 160 includes a display effect device 11 (including a display effect control unit 11b), a speaker unit 12, a game state display LED unit 13, a cross key sensor via an I / 0 port (not shown) and a data bus. 111, a special button sensor 112, and a door abnormality signal output device 113 are connected, and the sub-control unit 160 can receive input signals from these devices and output necessary data and signals to perform various controls. It is possible.

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

  In particular, as will be described later, the sub control unit 160 determines that, when an AT bonus game is performed, when a push order small combination (a part of the first small combination and a plurality of partial push order prescribed 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. However, this AT bonus game is managed under the control of the main control unit 100, and the sub control unit 160 only displays the assist information according to the instruction of the main control unit 100.

  When the cross key is operated, the cross key sensor 111 outputs direction signals corresponding to four directions, up, down, left, and right, and a decision button operation signal at the center. The sub control unit 160 receives these direction signals, and Various video effects, winning announcements, and the like according to the signal are displayed on the display effect device 11, and further, a sound effect is generated from the speaker unit 12. In addition, the sub-control unit 160 displays a combination symbol combination, a small combination table, and a payout table on the display effect device 11 based on a signal from the cross key sensor 111.

  The special button sensor 112 outputs an ON signal (for example, a HIGH signal) when the special button 14 is operated, and outputs an OFF signal (for example, a LOW signal) when the special button 14 is released, and the sub control unit 160 receives 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.

  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 in accordance with 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) to detect and store 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 sub-control unit 160 is notified of the abnormal opening / closing when the main power is turned off. Accordingly, even if the front door 1b is closed and it seems that there is no abnormality at all, the sub control unit 160 emits a warning sound when the main power is turned on, so that the manager of the game 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 of credits is controlled to be displayed.

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

  When the player has operated the start lever 9 properly after inserting a predetermined number of medals, the start SW sensor 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 100 receives a random number lottery or the like upon receiving the start signal. Then, the variable display game is started, and a driving pulse signal is output to the drum unit 2. In addition, the game performed by 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 (RBB), or a second-class special role continuous operation (CBB).

  Then, when the stop buttons 10a, 10b, and 10c are operated during the variable display game, the main control unit 100 individually stops the rotation of the corresponding rotary drums, and a predetermined winning combination is established (the symbol of each rotary drum). Is displayed in a predetermined combination, a winning is achieved.) When paying out medals, the payout number is displayed on a medal payout number display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and this is displayed as a credit amount. In addition to the above, a medal stored number display LED 4b is displayed. When a payout operation is performed by the payment 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 the internal winning and 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 are performed.

  Reference numeral 150 denotes a stage setting unit, which performs a stage setting operation of the payout rate described later with reference to FIG. A desired setting value can be selected from the step values 1 to 6 (or jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.).

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

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

  The drum unit 2 includes step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c for controlling rotation of 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 step motors 30a, 30b and 30c is driven and a drive pulse signal is continuously supplied to any two phases at the same time, a suction force is generated and the motor stops suddenly. In practice, a more detailed stop control for smoothly stopping the drum unit 2 at a predetermined position is performed.

  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 index signal (reference signal or reference position signal) from the body sensors 31 a, 31 b, and 31 c, 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. 5 is a configuration block diagram of the drum unit.

  The rotating 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, on the outer peripheral portion of each drum, a left turning belt 32a, a middle turning belt 32b, and a right turning belt 32c, on each of which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged, are attached. The winning combination is established (win or operation) if the displayed predetermined symbols) are displayed on the window 3 side by side on the pay line. The star mark, + mark, plum mark (black circle mark) and triangular mark in the figure are shown for the sake of convenience, and are different from actual ones, and are 7 patterns, a bar pattern, a bell pattern, a watermelon pattern and a cherry. A pattern or the like is generally used. Generally, the torso belt is called a reel tape.

  For each of the step motors 30a, 30b and 30c, a turn sensor 31a, 31b and 31c (not shown) is provided, and one pulse of an index signal is returned from each turn sensor for each rotation of the step motor. 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 lowermost position of the window 3) based on the index signal and the number of the output drive pulse signals. ing.

  FIG. 6 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 winding belt (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 periphery 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”, “Blue 7”, “Yellow 7”, and “BAR” which activate the bonus are shown. ”And various small role winning symbols such as cherry, watermelon, bell, and replay that activates replay. It should be noted that although not shown in this drawing, the "discarded design" 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. May have been. In other words, the discarded symbol is a symbol that does not involve winning.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the drum unit, and FIGS. 7A and 7B 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 if the lottery result is a winning 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 (or a tempai state) in which symbols "7, 7" are aligned on an effective line diagonally lower right of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b where the big bonus role is internally won and stopped, and When the symbol "7" is located within four frames from the line (that is, when the symbol "7" is located within five frames including the symbol on the activated line), when the right stop button 10c is stopped (see FIG. 7A )), The main control unit 100 performs a pull-in control for forcibly pulling the symbol “7” onto the activated line and aligning the symbol “7, 7, 7” so as to be a combination of “7, 7, 7” (see FIG. 7B). .

  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. 7B. The pull-in control is performed not only for the right drum 2c but also for any of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. The main control unit 100 sequentially calculates the number of sliding frames for the virtual stop operation symbol frame position in advance by referring to a stop table that determines the stop position of each drum according to the random number lottery result (internal winning or loss). Thus, a sliding frame number table for the first stop operation is completed. Then, when the stop button unit is actually stopped, the main control unit 100 moves the corresponding reel drum by the number of sliding frames corresponding to the symbol number at the reference position, and then stops so as to stop. Perform control. That is, the first stop operation position has a total of 63 frame positions (21 frames × 3 reels), and the number of sliding frames for all the frame positions is created in advance as a sliding frame number table.

  In the example of FIG. 7, in the tempai 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, this pull-in control is not limited to four frames, and the number of frames to be drawn-in 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 winning in the general game, the sub-control unit 160 generates auxiliary information (operation sequence and operation information) for stopping the rotation of the rotating drum so that the symbols are displayed in a predetermined combination by the pull-in control. The assist information such as operation timing (AT information) is notified by the display effect device 11 or voice.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the drum unit, and FIGS. 8A and 8B show the state in which the right drum 2c is controlled to avoid (or kick).

  The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the lottery result is lost and the winning combination is not established (when all the winning combinations 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 a reach state (a tempai state) in which the symbols “7, 7” are aligned on the diagonally lower right effective line of the stopped left drum 2a and middle drum 2b without the big bonus part being internally won, and 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 the "eye pressing" (for example, it is called "biter pressing. FIG. 8 ( A)), the main control unit 100 performs the avoidance control of forcibly changing the pattern "7" to at least one position so that "7, 7, 7" is not aligned on the active line and forcibly causing loss. (See FIG. 8B). 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. In addition, avoidance control is performed so that an unwinned small winning symbol does not win. The pull-in control and the avoidance control (kick-off control) include a stop control based on a slide frame number table created in advance by the main control unit 100 with reference to a stop table according to the internal winning situation, and as necessary. It is performed by control control by a program.

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

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

  The symbol position data is generated by dividing the drive pulse signal, and 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 the range of 1 to 24 pulses, the symbol position data is "20" when the driving pulse signal is in the range of 25 to 48 pulses, When the drive pulse signal is in the range of 49 to 72 pulses, the symbol position data is "19", ..., when 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 drive pulse signal is a drive pulse of a prescribed pattern that is 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 the pattern numbers 0 to 7 are repeatedly applied to the motor coils 1 to 4 phases three times as the driving 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 drive 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 lower 3 bits of phase data. 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. 9D 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. 10 is a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a included in the drum unit.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (A), the left drum 2a is rotating in the direction of the arrow (from top to bottom), and the cherry pattern is displayed in one of the upper, middle and lower stages of the three windows 3 indicated by solid lines. When the lower chile symbol stops in FIG. 6, a prize is won and a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. FIG. 10A 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 stage 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. 10B 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 in the upper stage, the main control portion 100 sets the window portion. The cherry symbol is stopped in the upper row of No. 3 (assuming that the Vita symbol is at the upper row position). It should be noted that since it takes about 36 ms to actually stop, it is located just above that, but for convenience of explanation, it is described in this way. In addition, since the stop is specified within 190 ms from the stop operation, there is a case where four frames cannot be slipped. The data of 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 10A and 0 overlapping with the cherry symbol indicate the number of sliding frames, and the main control unit 100 performs the stop calculation processing based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information. Then, even if the player operates the stop button section 10 at any time and at any timing, the slide frame number table is created so that the stop control can be performed immediately.

  On the other hand, FIGS. 10 (C) and 10 (D) 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. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position above the top (that is, a position above 4 in FIG. 10A) or at a position slightly beyond the upper position, the stop button 10a is moved up or down one position from 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 3.

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

  As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, it is assumed that the cherry pattern on the left drum 2a is frame number 8 and frame number 19 (different from FIG. 6), and the upper cherry is inside. In the case of winning, assuming that the lowermost position of the window 3 is the measurement reference, the main control unit 100 sets the symbol position data “14” and the input pulse phase data “0” to the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data. When the stop button 10a is operated in the range of “23” or the symbol position data “4” and the input pulse phase data “0” to the symbol position data “1” and the input pulse phase data “23”, the cherry symbol is displayed on the upper stage. To stop winning. In other words, even if the stop button 10a is appropriately operated, not only will a winning be achieved with a probability of 10/21, but if a winning notification is made, a skilled person can make a push and win with a probability close to 100%. .

  FIG. 12 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of a symbol related to winning and operation on an activated line corresponding to the number of inserted game medals. Generally, when one game medal is inserted, the only valid line is the first line. When two game medals are inserted, the valid lines are the first, second, and third lines. When three game medals are inserted, the valid line is valid. Is activated for all of the fourth and fifth lines in addition to the first to third lines. For example, when three game medals are inserted and a cherry symbol of two payouts of the left drum 2a is displayed on 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) for the middle stage and four (2 × 2 line: third and fifth line) for the lower stage. However, this effective line is a general one that has been conventionally used, and recently, as will be described later, there are many one-line and irregular lines.

  In addition, when the eight bell payout symbols are displayed on the effective line of the window portion 3, if only the middle tier is displayed, the eight tiers (8 × 1 line: the first line) and the upper tier and the lower right diagonally are used. 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 in accordance with the type of winning are paid out in total for the winning, but the maximum number of payouts at one time is 15.

  In particular, in the current A-type five-line machine, in the case of a game machine having a plurality of specified numbers in the start lever operation after the insertion of the game medals, game medals other than the maximum specified number (one specified number or two specified numbers) are provided. If the start lever is pressed while the shutter is being turned on, the rotating body rotating device operates with a specified number other than the maximum specified number (one specified number or two specified number). The player wants to play the game only with the maximum specified number (three specified number) described above. However, when the inserted number is one or two, the start lever is operated by mistake and the specified number one or two specified number is set. May play games. This is because a game with a specified number of cards or a specified number of cards has a low bonus probability and does not want to be played.

  The following inventions have been made to improve this problem. When the star lever is pressed when the number of inserted medals is less than the maximum specified number (one or two), a function to carry over the operation of the rotating body rotation device until the next start lever is pressed is added. is there. Also, a function of outputting a warning sound when the first start lever is pressed is added. By the operation and effect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent a gaming machine having a plurality of specified numbers from playing less than the maximum specified number.

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

  The display effect device 11 receives an effect command from the sub-control unit 160 and transmits and receives necessary information. The transmitting and receiving unit 11a, the display effect control unit 11b (including the ROM 11c and the RAM 11d), an LCD, an organic EL, an LED, and the like. And a display panel 11e. In this case, the ROM 11c is separately provided in the display effect control unit 11b, but 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. 14 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 still pictures), which is the contents of the production. .

  When the sub-control unit 160 receives control data necessary for various controls from the main control unit 100 (particularly, it includes various data indicating a large hit, a small hit, a replay or a loss of a random number lottery result), the random number is received. Before notifying the result of the lottery, an appropriate effect command according 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 the screen.

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

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

  Further, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ S0 $ 00) as a production command, the display panel 11e superimposes "Dracula Castle" which is an image corresponding to "castle production pattern 0" on a blue sky background screen. It is displayed (see FIG. 15 (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. 15C).

  In the case where the effect of FIG. 15 (B) develops in multiple stages, a pseudo effect in which there is a pseudo bonus stock and the release probability is high, or the expectation of releasing the pseudo bonus is large or fixed. For example, FIG. 16A shows a state in which the outer gate of “Dracula Castle” is enlarged and the iron gate is about to open. Then, the invader enters Dracula Castle, the door expands (see FIG. 16B), the door is gradually opened (see FIG. 16C), and the inside of the glittering “Dracula Castle” is displayed (FIG. 16). (D)). After that, a battle between the protagonist and the Vampire Count Dracula develops, and if the protagonist wins, the release of the pseudo bonus will be confirmed due to the stock of the pseudo bonus, and the release of the real bonus will be confirmed because the inside of the real bonus has been won.

  From the state in which the normal screen of the night shown in FIG. 17A (same as FIG. 15B) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, 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. 17 (B)), and the character “BONUS” meaning “big hit” is displayed ( 17 (C), a premiere effect may be obtained. All of these display effects are executed by receiving control commands and event data from the main control unit 100, and outputting the effect commands according to the program by the sub-control unit 160.

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

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

  In the case of the spinning-type gaming machine of the present invention, the main control unit 100 generates a random value. This random number value is such that all the values from 0 to 65535 (m7) are generated at random once in one cycle (about 6.5 ms). FIG. 18A is a lottery table used in a normal state (initial state or non-RT state) where the loss probability is high. When the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery in accordance with the timing at which the start lever 9 is operated. If the random number is in the range of 0 to m1, the big bonus (BB) is won. That is, the internal lottery means that only one random number value is picked up (extracted) 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 when the random value is in the range from m2 + 1 to m3, a watermelon when the random value is in the range from m3 + 1 to m4, and a bell when the random value is in the range from 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.

  Usually, these numerical values of m1 to m7 are appropriately set in consideration of laws and regulations (Winning Law) and game characteristics, but the BB winning probability is about “1/400” and the RB winning probability is “1/300”. , The cherry and watermelon winning probability is about 1/50, the bell winning probability is about 1/6, and the replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3. In addition, BB and RB are won independently, but may be won simultaneously with the rare role.

  On the other hand, FIG. 18B 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. As a result, the replay winning probability is reduced to about “程度”. As a result, the probability of winning a replay corresponding to a three-piece payout is greatly increased, while the probability of a loss is reduced, so that in the replay time, the expected value of payout of game medals is significantly improved or increased. . In addition, the main control unit 100 can set the expected value of the replay time to a desired value by increasing or decreasing the α value.

  Although a detailed drawing of the lottery table is omitted, there are six lottery tables 1, lottery tables 2,... Lottery tables 6 corresponding to the stage 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 for winning the bonus game in the internal lottery is generally 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 medal is unnecessary. Cherry role, watermelon role, strong bell role, and special replay role, which are generally called rare roles, are set to the same number (that is, the same winning probability) in the lottery tables 1 to 6. When the common winning probability combination is won, the main control unit 100 does not end the advantageous game as the running advantageous section.

  Specifically, in the normal section, the main control unit 100 executes the specialization zone started by the decision to shift to the advantageous section or the end lottery of the advantageous section such as the ART, regardless of the winning combination (refer to the result of the lottery). For example, the end lottery (uniform end lottery) is executed with a probability of 1/2, and in the case of a non-winning, the advantageous section is continued. On the other hand, in the case of the winning of the end, the main control unit 100 decides to end the advantageous section. At that time, referring to the result of the winning lottery, if the common winning probability hand has been won, the end decision is invalidated ( Cancel). As another method, the main control unit 100 refers to the winning combination lottery result, and when the common winning probability combination has been won, continues the advantageous section without executing the uniform end lottery. If no win is made, a uniform end lottery is executed, and if no win is made, the advantageous section is continued. On the other hand, when the end is won, the main controller 100 ends the advantageous section.

  For example, assuming that the specialization zone (advantageous section) is 10 games, the specialization zone continues for 10 games, and the next eleventh game has a 1/2 chance of a drop lottery. And when the push order bell (common winning probability combination) does not fall, it does not fall, but usually falls when replay or loss is pulled. Similarly, assuming that the high-probability zone (advantage section) is 20 games, the high-probability zone continues for 20 games, and falls when the rare role and the pushing order bell (common winning probability role) are won in the next 21st game. The game proceeds to the next game without a lottery, but if a normal replay or a loss is drawn, a falling lottery is performed. In the case of a non-winning, the advantageous section is continued. End the section.

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

  Referring to FIG. 51 (A), when the main control unit 100 wins the advantageous section shift drawing in the normal section, the main control unit 100 executes a game in the advantageous section in step S200 and determines whether or not the end lottery condition is satisfied in step S205. Is determined, and if not established, the process proceeds to step S200, while if established, the end lottery is executed in step S210. The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the end condition is satisfied in step S215. If the condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S200. If the condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S220. It is determined whether or not the game has been won, the process proceeds to step S200, and if not, the process ends.

  With reference to FIG. 51 (B), when the main control unit 100 wins the advantage section shift drawing in the normal section, the main control unit 100 executes the game in the advantage section in step S250, and determines whether or not the end lottery condition is satisfied in step S255. Is determined, the process proceeds to step S250. If the condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S260. In step S260, it is determined whether the common winning probability combination is won. If the condition is determined, the process proceeds to step S250. On the other hand, if no winning has been made, the process moves to step S265. The main control unit 100 executes an end lottery in step S265, determines whether or not the end condition is satisfied in step S270. If the end condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S250.

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

  The BB (Big Bonus) is a role name when the BB symbol of “Red 7”, the BB symbol of “Blue 7”, and the BB symbol of “Yellow 7” are aligned on the activated line. A flag 1 is set in the flag area, and when these symbols are aligned, the number of medals acquired is 0, and the game enters a big bonus game (BB1 game to BB3 game: operation of the accessory continuous operation device) and ends with payout exceeding 359. I do.

  RB (Regular Bonus) is the RB symbol of “Red 7”, “Red 7” and “BAR”, the RB symbol of “Blue 7”, “Blue 7” and “BAR”, and the RB symbol of “Yellow 7”, “Yellow 7” and “BAR”. This is the name of the role when the RB symbols are aligned on the activated line. When the internal prize is won, the flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area. When the symbols are aligned, the number of earned medals is 0, and the regular bonus game (RB game: (Operation of the continuous operation device), and ends with payout exceeding 119 sheets. In addition, any of 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. As will be described later, a model called an RT machine defines a high-probability game in which a winning probability of a replaying game is higher than a predetermined probability when a bonus game started by winning a bonus is completed. It becomes executable the specified number of times. Further, in some of the RT machines, when a specific symbol is displayed in the high-probability game, a high-probability game in which the winning probability of the re-game combination fluctuates can be executed a predetermined number of times.

  When the cherry symbol stops on the active line of the left drum, one medal is obtained for each active line. For example, in the case of the display determination diagram in FIG. 14, if the effective line is stopped at the middle stage of the left drum, the number is one, but if it is the upper stage or the lower stage, the number of effective lines is two, and the payout is two in total. 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 combination is internally won, the flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and one of the replay operation symbols is always aligned on the activated line (also referred to as a replay combination winning). When the replay operation symbol is displayed, the replay without the medal is activated, and the flag is lowered (ie, set to 0) by performing the replay by operating the start lever 9 by the player. That is, the next game can be played without inserting medals. The timing of lowering the flag is arbitrary.

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

  RT0 in FIG. 46 (B) is an initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination (replaying combination) does not fluctuate. This is also referred to as an “initial replay state.” The normal game (general game) can be started. The winning probability (replay probability) of replay in a general game is about 1 / 7.3. When BB1 (Big Bonus 1 of the actual bonus) is internally won in the base game and is brought into the carryover state, the replay probability is about 1/3 of BB1 internally won. The bonus game of BB1 can be started by displaying the operation symbol of BB1 (red 7, red 7, red 7), and the bonus game of BB1 by paying out the specified number of 359 (360 or more) in the BB1 game. Ends. When the bonus game of BB1 is completed, the high probability game of 25 games (predetermined number of times) can be executed in the RT1 state, and when the game result of 25 games is obtained, the initial state is established and the normal game starts. It becomes possible. In this RT1 state, a lottery including at least a non-variable replay combination that does not change the RT state (also referred to as a “normal replay combination”) and a first transition replay combination (transition lip A_1 in FIG. 46 (A)) as replays. Is done. The first transition replay combination is a replay combination in which RPLY1 and RPLY2 are simultaneously won. When a normal replay symbol (in FIG. 46A, lip, lip, and lip) is displayed on the activated line, RPLY1 wins (activates). When a specific transition symbol (shown as blue seven, lip, lip in FIG. 46 (A)) is displayed on the activated line, RPLY2 wins (activates). When a specific transition symbol is displayed in the RT1 state, the main control unit 100 changes the probability of the winning of the replaying role and sets the RT4 state to the RT4 state to perform the RT game (a high probability game) of 50 games (predetermined number of times). ) Is executable. On the other hand, even if the normal replay symbol is displayed, the main control unit 100 does not change the probability of winning the replay, and maintains the RT1 state. For example, when a specific transition symbol is displayed in the 20th game in the RT1 state, the next game is in the RT4 state, and it is possible to perform the RT game of 50 games, and as a result, the high-probability game of 70 games is performed. However, if the real bonus is won in the middle of the RT game, the RT4 state ends. Similarly, when an actual bonus is won in an intermediate RT1 game, the RT1 state ends.

  When BB2 (Big Bonus 2 of the real bonus) is internally won in the base game and is brought into the carryover state, the replay probability is about 1/3 of BB2 internally won. When the operation symbols of BB2 (blue 7, blue 7, blue 7) are displayed, the bonus game of BB2 can be started, and the bonus game of BB2 ends with the payout exceeding the specified number of 359. When the bonus game of BB2 is completed, the game enters the RT2 state and the high-probability game of 25 games can be executed. When the game result of 25 games is obtained, the initial state is established and the normal game can be started. In this RT2 state, a lottery including at least a non-variable replay combination that does not change the RT state and a second transition replay combination (transition lip A_2 in FIG. 46A) is performed as a replaying combination. The second transition replay combination is a replay combination in which RPLY1, RPLY2 and RPLY3 are simultaneously won, but the operation symbol of RPLY3 is not displayed. When the normal replay symbol is displayed on the activated line, RPLY1 wins. When a specific transition symbol is displayed on the activated line, RPLY2 wins. When a specific transition symbol is displayed in the RT2 state, the main control unit 100 changes the probability of winning of the replaying role and sets the state to the RT4 state to enable execution of the RT game (high-probability game) of 50 games. On the other hand, even if the normal replay symbol is displayed, the main control unit 100 does not change the probability of winning the replay, and maintains the RT1 state.

  Although not shown in the figure, when BB3 (Big Bonus 3 of the actual bonus) is internally won in the base game and is brought into the carryover state, the replay probability is about 1/3 of BB3 internally won. When the operation symbols of BB3 (yellow 7, yellow 7, yellow 7) are displayed, the bonus game of BB3 can be started, and the bonus game of BB3 ends with the payout exceeding the specified number of 359. When the bonus game of BB3 is completed, the game enters the RT3 state and the high-probability game of 25 games can be executed. When the game result of 25 games is obtained, the initial state is established and the normal game can be started. In this RT3 state, a lottery including at least a non-variable replay combination that does not change the RT state and a third transition replay combination (transition lip A_3 in FIG. 46 (A)) is selected as replays. The second transition replay combination is a replay combination in which RPLY1, RPLY2 and RPLY4 are simultaneously won, but the operation symbol of RPLY4 is not displayed. When the normal replay symbol is displayed on the activated line, RPLY1 wins. When a specific transition symbol is displayed on the activated line, RPLY2 wins. When a specific transition symbol is displayed in the RT2 state, the main control unit 100 changes the probability of winning of the replaying role and sets the state to the RT4 state to enable execution of the RT game (high-probability game) of 50 games. On the other hand, even if the normal replay symbol is displayed, the main control unit 100 does not change the probability of winning the replay, and maintains the RT1 state.

  The point is that in the RT1 state, the first transfer replay combination is won by lottery as the transfer replay combination, but the second transfer replay combination and the third transfer replay combination are not drawn, so they are not won. Similarly, in the RT2 state, the second transfer replay combination is won by lottery as the transfer replay combination, but the first transfer replay combination and the third transfer replay combination are not drawn, so they are not won. In the RT3 state, the third transfer replay combination is won by lottery as the transfer replay combination, but the first transfer replay combination and the second transfer replay combination are not drawn, so they are not won.

  FIGS. 47 to 50 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the window in a time-series manner.

  The main control unit 100 controls the first transition replay combination to be internally won in the RT1 state, and controls the stop button unit 10 to display a specific transition symbol on the activated line by a reverse pressing operation (specific operation). Is displayed, RPLY2 wins. The same applies to the case where the second transition replay combination is internally won in the RT2 state and the case where the third transition replay combination is internally elected in the RT3 state. However, the main control unit 100 changes the stop control in each state to change the blue. The drawing ranges of the seven symbols are different.

  FIG. 47A shows a state in which any one of the first transfer replay combination to the third transfer replay combination is internally won and all reel drums are rotating, and the first stop operation (the first operation) stops right. This indicates that the button 10c has been operated and the replay symbol has been displayed on the first effective line. FIG. 47B shows that the middle stop button 10b is operated by the second stop operation (next operation), and the replay symbol is displayed on the first effective line.

  In FIG. 47C, the left stop button 10a is operated by the third stop operation (final operation), the replay symbol is displayed on the first effective line without drawing the blue 7 symbol, and RPLY1 is displayed. This indicates that a prize has been won. In the state shown in FIG. 47 (A), when the left stop button 10a is operated by the second stop operation and the middle stop button 10b is operated by the third stop operation, RPLY1 wins and the main control unit 100 Stop control is performed so that RPLY2 does not win. FIG. 47 (D) shows that the left stop button 10a is operated at the timing at which the blue 7 symbol can be drawn in by the third stop operation, the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the first line of the activated line, and RPLY2 has won. ing. The main control unit 100 varies the timing (frame range or pull-in range) for drawing in the blue 7 symbol according to the first to third transition replay combinations.

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

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

  FIG. 50A shows that the third transition replay combination is internally won, the right stop button 10c is operated by the first stop operation, the middle stop button 10b is operated by the second stop operation, and the first stop line is activated. ., Two replay symbols are displayed, indicating that only the left drum 2a is rotating. FIG. 50 (B) shows that the left drum 2a is rotating. A blue 7 symbol of No. 3 is located on the first line, and shows a state in which bittering can be stopped. When the left stop button 10a is operated in the state of FIG. 50 (B), the main control unit 100 sets the No. 1 located on the first line. The blue 7 symbol of No. 3 is drawn on the first line and stopped (see FIG. 50 (C)). That is, No. Only when the blue 7 symbol of No. 3 is 0 frames (bitter stop position), the drawing is performed on the first line. Pull in 1 replay symbol. That is, when executing control for displaying a specific transition symbol (blue 7 symbol), the main control unit 100 determines the movement range of at least one of the torso as the first transition re-gaming role and the second transition re-gaming role. Since it is different from the above, it is possible to change the difficulty of the eye-catching by the player. Similarly, the third transition replaying game is different.

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

  First, in the state where the spinning-type gaming machine is shipped from the factory, as a default, the warning mode when the stage setting operation of the payout rate is performed is “ON state”, and the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) sets “ It is assumed that "off" and the lowest step setting value is "1".

  When the game hall side opens the front door of the spinning-type gaming machine body 1 and turns on the power switch 28c before the player plays, 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 state, 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. 20 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. 2). When the power switch 28c is turned on again, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after an initial check and an initial setting are performed in step S100, the main control unit 100 In S110, it is determined whether 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 side allows the player to play, the player inputs a step setting value "6" with the highest payout ratio, hits the start lever 9 once to confirm the setting value, and sets the key switch. When the switch 28a is turned off, the main control unit 100 returns to step S100, sets the set value to "6", and performs necessary processing such as hardware initial check and initial setting again. As one of the initial settings, when the setting change is executed, the main control unit 100 determines by time a piece of time designation information (what hour and minute) that designates the time indicated by the clock accessory 50, and determines this time designation. The information (clock alignment information) is transmitted to the sub control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 sets the long hand and the short hand of the clock handpiece 50 to the initial positions after the setting change based on the received time designation information. As a result, the clock handpiece 50 displays the game time.

  However, as another setting change method, the number of times the start lever 9 is hit (the number of operations) is stored, the set value is determined, and a part or all of a plurality of RAM areas are cleared according to the number of times. Necessary processing such as initial setting may be performed on the RAM area thus set, and the method will be described below.

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

The ROM area of the main control unit 100 extends from the address 0000h to the address EFFFh, and the used area (including the unused area) is from the address 0000h to the address 2FFFh, and thereafter becomes an unused area. The RAM area of the main control unit 100 is from the address F000h to the address FFFFh, the used area is from the address F000h to the address F1FFh, and the area thereafter is an unused area. The ROM area includes a program area for storing a main program for operating the main control unit 100, a plurality of data areas, a plurality of program management areas, and an unused area. The RAM area is composed of a plurality of used RAM areas 1 to N, a stack area, and an unused area for temporarily storing data necessary for advancing the game. In conventional gaming machines, when changing settings, turn on the setting key and turn on the power, determine the setting value with the setting button, hit the start lever once, and then turn the setting key off to confirm the setting and determine the setting in advance The specified RAM area is cleared. The RAM area to be cleared is determined for each gaming machine, and cannot be selected by the hall manager. In some cases, even if it is desired to completely initialize due to a trouble or the like, the setting change processing may not be possible. . To solve this, the RAM area to be cleared is made different depending on the number of times the start lever is pressed, thereby improving the convenience in the hall. That is, in the present invention, the RAM area to be cleared can be changed according to the number of times the start lever is pressed in the setting change operation.

  For example, if the number of hits of the start lever is one, only the set value is changed, and the game state or the like can inherit all the data before the setting change. If the number of hits is two, only the set value change and the instruction function parameter are cleared (data is rewritten to 0) and initialized, and the other data can be taken over before the change of the setting. If the number of hits is three, the set value is changed, the instruction function parameter is cleared, and the game state (RT state, bonus, carryover flag) is cleared and initialized, and other data may be the same as before the setting change. it can. If the number of hits is four, complete initialization (that is, the same state as when each ROM and RAM is mounted, that is, the same as when shipped from the factory) can be performed. Further, if the RAM to be cleared is further subdivided, initial settings can be made as needed.

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

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

  Here, returning to FIG. 20, when the main control unit 100 outputs control data to the sub control unit 160 in order to set the display of the initial screen in step S100, the sub control unit 160, for example, outputs (@ Y0 (# 01) is transmitted to the display 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 proceeds to step S130 after changing the step setting value, the main control unit 100 checks 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 are 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. ) Is checked, 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 perform 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.

  In particular, when the star lever is pressed when the number of inserted coins is less than the maximum specified number of game medals (one or two), a process of carrying over the operation of the rotating body rotating device until the next start lever is pressed is performed. You can do it. In addition, when the first start lever is pressed, "pu, p" is output as a light warning sound. That is, when the start means is operated in a state where the maximum number of bets is set for one game, the main control unit 100 accepts the operation and executes the game. However, when the start means is operated in a state in which a bet amount smaller than the maximum bet amount is set, the main control unit 100 accepts the operation and waits for execution of the game (outputs a warning sound). If the start means is operated again during the standby, the operation is accepted again and the game is executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent a gaming machine having a plurality of prescribed numbers from playing less than the maximum prescribed number.

  When the 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 while starting 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). It is determined whether or not an internal winning has been achieved by comparing the lottery table of the present invention (see the description of FIG. 18).

  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 to display the plurality of drums displayed on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c. 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, pull-in control for aligning symbols according to the internal winning combination on the activated line, and conversely, avoidance control for preventing symbols from being aligned 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 according to the operation of the stop button unit 10. The main control unit 100 executes stop control with reference to the sliding frame number table.

  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 in each of the variable display games of the general game, and determines the payout table stored in the ROM 161 (see FIG. 19). According to ()), a payout that is added as a credit or exceeds the storage upper limit pays out game medals from the medal payout device 18 and discharges them from the medal payout exit 16.

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

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

  Next, the operation of the spinning-type gaming machine basically configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, flowcharts, and the like. In particular, a description will be given of a spinning-type gaming machine in which a winning probability of replay varies and an actual bonus and an assist bonus (such as an ART, a third bonus, or a pseudo bonus) are mounted.

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

  On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a winding belt (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 periphery of each drum. Is attached to

  Each of the round belts has a different arrangement of patterns (red seven design, jewelry design, BAR design, bell design, cherry design, watermelon 1 design, watermelon 2 design, replay 1 design, replay 2 design, replay 3 design) 21) are arranged.

  FIG. 22 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

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

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

  FIG. 23 is a payout table in a normal state and during a bonus operation.

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

  (1) Bonus 1 (continuous actuating device according to the second kind special occasion): (Replay 1 / Replay 2 / Replay 3) on left drum 2a, (BAR / jewel / cherry) on middle drum 2b, right drum When (Replay 1) is stopped on the activated line at 2c, the acquired number is 0 and a bonus 1 is thereafter provided (two types of BB1 are activated. Operational symbol 1). Similarly, (Replay 1 / Replay 2 / Replay 3) on the left drum 2a, (Replay 2 / Replay 3) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR / jewel / watermelon 1) on the right drum 2c stop on the activated line. (Operating pattern 2) or (Cherry / watermelon 2) on the left drum 2a, (BAR / jewel / cherry) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR / jewel / watermelon 1) on the right drum 2c on the effective line. When stopped (operating symbol 3), bonus 1 is awarded. The bonus 1 ends when the winning probability is, for example, 1/350, and the number of prescribed insertions of the game in the bonus 1 exceeds 3, and the number of payouts exceeds 180. When the bonus 1 is internally won by the lottery and the bonus 1 flag is set, the bonus 1 is in a state where it can be won. You can not win.

  If the bonus 1 is internally won and a prize cannot be won, the carryover state in which the bonus 1 is internally won after the next game is set. The bonus 1 is a penetrating two-type BB, and the replay winning probability does not change even if the internal winning, the operation (winning), or the operation of the bonus 1 is completed. If the internal lottery results in a non-winning (pure loss) in the carryover state of the bonus 1, the bonus operation symbol is always drawn in to win (100% pull-in). In particular, if the push order small wins in the carryover state of Bonus 1 and the operation order is incorrect, the obstructing minor wins with a probability of about 2/3 while the bonus activated symbol has a probability of about 1/3. Is displayed. That is, when the bonus 1 and the push order small win are simultaneously won, one of the small wins constituting the bonus wins or the bonus 1 wins.

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

  (2) Middle Bell: This is the name of the role when the bell symbols are aligned and stopped on the effective line of each drum, and the acquired number is 14 pieces.

  (3) Lower right bell: For example, when (Replay 2) is on the left drum 2a, (Bell) is on the middle drum 2b, and (Replay 1) is on the effective line and stops on the effective line, a bell symbol is drawn down to the right. Will be displayed and the lower right bell will win. The acquired number of medals (game media) is 14.

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

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

  (6) Double cherry (weak cherry): For example, when the second drum (BAR) on the left drum 2a, the cherry (Cherry) on the middle drum 2b, and the (bell) on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line, the right Two cherry symbols are displayed on the uphill, and a double cherry wins. The number of obtained medals (game media) is two.

  (7) Triple cherry (strong cherry): For example, when the second drum (BAR) on the left drum 2a, the (cherry) on the middle drum 2b, and the (watermelon 2) on the right drum 2c stop on the active line, Three cherry symbols are displayed on the right ascending, and a triple cherry wins. The number of obtained medals is two. Note that (white seven) may stop on the right drum 2c.

  (8) Middle Cherry: For example, when the third (cherry) on the left drum 2a, the second (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and the first (bell) on the right drum 2c are aligned and stopped, The middle cherries win. The number of obtained medals (game media) is two. It is possible to display all three BAR symbols on the lower right. The middle cherry role is an opportunity for a freezing lottery. When the winning is won, a freeze effect (reel lock and reel effect) is performed, and a pseudo bonus is immediately released.

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

  (10) Multiple types of single-sheet combinations: For example, when (Replay 1) on the left drum 2a, (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR) on the right drum 2c stop on the active line, the single-sheet combination 1 Wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired is one. This one-part combination is a small combination for stop control, and there are a plurality of types from one-part combination to one-part combination n (n is a natural number of 2 or more), but the same applies to the other one-part combination. Is omitted.

  (11) Normal replay: a role name when replay symbols (replays 1 to 3) are aligned on the activated line for each drum, for which no medals are obtained, but the number of bets in the game is maintained. The next game can be played. It is effective even if the game is completed consecutively after the next game, and it is possible to continue playing without consuming coins until a game in which replay is not established. An effect in which medals are automatically inserted before the game is started is performed, and the next game can be performed by the player operating the start lever 9. When the normal replay alone is internally won in the random number lottery, the RP flag corresponding to the flag area is set, and the replay symbol is always displayed. At first glance, the replay symbols are aligned with the center horizontal line. Even if the operation symbol of the re-game A is displayed, the re-game probability does not change.

  (12) RT1 transition replay (replay 1): For example, a role name when (jewel) on the left drum 2a, (bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (bell) on the right drum 2c are on the active line, On the other hand, no medals are obtained, but the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. At first glance, the replay symbols are aligned with the upper row. When the RT1 transition replay is internally won by random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 1 is activated, the replay probability fluctuates, and a transition is made to the RT1 state (a so-called fall replay). Similarly, there is a lower replay in which replay symbols are aligned in a lower row as a replay in which a transition is made to the RT1 state.

  (13) RT2 shift replay (replay 2): This is a role name when (bell) on the left drum 2a, (replay) on the middle drum 2b, and (bell) on the right drum 2c are on the active line. On the other hand, no medal is obtained, but the next game can be performed with the bet number of the game maintained. At first glance, the replay symbols are aligned to the upper right. When the RT2 shift replay is internally won by random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 2 is activated, the replay probability changes to about 2/3, and the state shifts to the RT2 state.

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

  (15) Other replays: For example, (replay) on the left drum 2a, (replay) on the middle drum 2b, and (watermelon) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line, but they are displayed as if the replay symbols were lost. There is a chance replay to be done. In addition, (Bell) on the left drum 2a, (Red Seven) on the middle drum 2b, and (Watermelon) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line, and a bonus replay 1 in which a red seven symbol is displayed on the lower right is provided. There is a bonus replay 2 in which (cherry) is arranged on the drum 2a, (red seven) is arranged on the middle drum 2b, and (watermelon) is arranged on the effective line of the right drum 2c. When the big bonus is won as the pseudo bonus, the bonus replay 1 is displayed, and when the regular bonus is won, the bonus replay 2 is displayed. In other words, when the pseudo bonus is won, the player instructs the player to aim for the red seven symbol by pressing in the reverse direction, and when the right drum 2c and the middle drum 2b stop, both the bonus replay 1 and the bonus replay 2 are in a temporary state. When the left drum 2a stops, either the bonus replay 1 or the bonus replay 2 wins. In addition, in (11) normal replay to (15) other replays, a plurality of types of replay combinations are simultaneously won, and in particular, a replay combination predetermined in accordance with an operation order is awarded. This is called a push order replay.

  (16) Pushing order small combination (pushing order bell) Koboshi (1 to m): A special symbol (falling symbol) displayed on the active line when the bell combination is missed in the pushing order small combination to be described later. When any one of the special symbols is displayed, the replay probability fluctuates, and the state shifts to the RT1 state. For example, when (replay) is displayed on the left drum 2a, (bell) is displayed on the middle drum 2b, and (jewel) is displayed on the pay line (display of a falling symbol) on the right drum 2c, the gaming state shifts to the RT1 state ( Others are omitted). The main control unit 100 manages the push order small combination and the push order replay collectively as a group combination (or a push sequence group combination), and during the non-AT (during the non-activation of the assist function), the push sequence small combination Alternatively, regardless of which of the pressing order replays is internally won, the information that the group combination has been won is transmitted to the sub control unit 160. The main control unit 100 transmits the winning combination information to the sub-control unit 160 after the second stop operation, and the sub-control unit 160 performs an effect based on the winning combination information.

  FIG. 24 and FIG. 25 are combination tables (simultaneous winning patterns of small wins) of the condition devices of the pressing order small win (middle first or right first).

  The pressing order small combination means that when the operation order of the stop button unit 10 (the pressing order of the stop button unit 10) is correct, the bell small combination (middle bell or lower right bell) is always won, while in the case of an incorrect answer. Means that one of a plurality of types of one small winning combination that has been won at the same time will be won, and one of a plurality of Koboshi eyes (a missing symbol of the bell small portion) will be displayed. It is a small role. Since this pushing order small winning combination is won by 3 × 2, it can be said that it is a 6-selected small winning combination (1/6 winning small winning combination).

  In the pressing order bell 1, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the pressing order of the left stop button 10a. The push order bell 1 has nine types, from the push order bell 1-1 to the push order bell 1-9, so that the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol) so as not to miss one winning combination. However, the stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol. The push order bell 1 is a push order small role of a double push order type, the first small role (bell role: FRU2) with the largest payout for the purpose of winning, and the purpose of obstructing the winning of the first small role. Plural types of second small roles constituting the second small role group (in this case, six types of single small roles (FRU11 to FRU16: replay 2-BAR-BAR, ..., replay 1-jewel-watermelon 1)), and The third small role (FRU3: one of (Cherry / watermelon 2) on the left drum, a bell on the middle drum, and one of (Replay1 / watermelon 2) on the right drum) to prevent the winning of the first small role (Small wins that can be won in the four types of symbol combination display) are simultaneously won (refer to push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 25). One symbol stops, and only two of the six second small roles win The third small win will always win if the first stop operation is correct and the second stop operation is incorrect, but the third small win may be missed at the timing of the third stop operation. The first small combination is also referred to as a specific small combination, a purpose small combination, or a winning combination small combination.

  In the pressing order bell 2, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the pressing order of the right stop button 10c. There are nine types of the push order bell 2 from the push order bell 2-1 to the push order bell 2-9. Therefore, similarly to the push order bell 1, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol) and The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol so as not to miss the winning combination. Hereinafter, the same description as that of the pushing order bell 1 is referred.

  In the pressing order bell 3, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the pressing order of the left stop button 10a. Since there are nine types of push order bells 3 from push order bell 3-1 to push order bell 3-9, similarly to push order bell 1, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol) and sees 1 The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol so as not to miss the winning combination. Hereinafter, the same description as that of the pushing order bell 1 is referred.

  In the pressing order bell 4, the first stop operation which is the correct answer is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the pressing order of the middle stop button 10b. There are nine types of the push order bell 4 from the push order bell 4-1 to the push order bell 4-9, so that the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol) and sees 1 The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol so as not to miss the winning combination. Hereinafter, the same description as that of the pushing order bell 1 is referred. When the first stop operation is correct, there are nine types of three-choice bells (the first left-hand pressing order bell) to be awarded when the first stop operation is correct. In this case, if the small bell part is missed and the Koboshi eyes are displayed, the process moves to RT1, but the FRU3 and FRU4 of the pushing order bell 1 to pushing order 4 are simply not won, so the explanation with the drawing is omitted. In other words, in the pushing order bell combination, the winning order to be won is substantially a 5-choice bell combination.

  FIG. 26 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the push order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. 24 by random number lottery, as described above, the main control unit 100 simultaneously operates the condition devices of FRU2 + FR3 + FR11 to FR16. Then, based on the operation order information (213) stored corresponding to the ROM 101, it is determined that the operation order from middle to left to right is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes the stop calculation process based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information, so that the stop control can be performed immediately even if the player operates the stop button unit 10 at any time and at any timing. Then, a slide frame number table is created. Also, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, a sliding frame number table is similarly created (see the description of FIG. 10).

  FIG. 26A shows a state where all the drum units 2 are rotating from top to bottom. When the player performs the first stop operation of the middle stop button 10b in the correct answer operation sequence in the state of FIG. 26 (A), the main control unit 100 refers to the slip frame number table and sets the corresponding slip frame number data. Based on this, control is performed to stop the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames and draw the bell symbol into the active line (the drum unit 2 is simply moved by the number of sliding frames). FIG. 26 (B)). In the state of FIG. 26B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c may be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the left stop button 10a in the correct answer operation sequence, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and sets 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The control for stopping the left drum 2a in the range of (2) and drawing the bell symbol into the effective line is performed (see FIG. 26 (C)). In the state of FIG. 26 (C), FRU2 is in a temporary state. The main control unit 100 creates a table of the number of sliding frames after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated, and performs the third stop operation of the right stop button 10c in the correct answer operation sequence. The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and performs control to draw the bell symbol into the active line (FIG. 26 (D)).

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

The main control unit 100 creates a table of the number of sliding frames after the first stop operation in the state of FIG. 27B in which the first stop operation is correct, and the right stop button 10c in the incorrect operation sequence is created by the player. When the second stop operation is performed, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and performs the watermelon 2 design. Alternatively, stop control for drawing any one of the replay 1 symbols into the activated line is performed (see FIG. 27C). In the state of FIG. 27 (C), FRU3 is in a temporary state. The main control unit 100 creates a table of the number of sliding frames after the second stop operation so that the left stop button 10a may be operated, and performs main control when the player performs the third stop operation of the left stop button 10a. The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the left drum 2a in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and sets either the cherry symbol or the watermelon 2 symbol to the active line. Control for pulling in is performed (see FIG. 27D). In the above example, if the first stop operation is correct, either FRU2 or FUL3 always wins, but by arranging the FRU3 symbols at intervals of 5 frames or more, FUL3 may be missed. Can also be.

  FIG. 28 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series. However, FIG. 29A is the same as FIG. 26A, and a duplicate description will be omitted.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the right stop button 10c in the incorrect answer operation sequence in the state of FIG. 28 (A), the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and determines the corresponding number of sliding frames. Based on the data, control is performed to stop the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames and to always draw any one of the BAR design, jewelry design, or watermelon 1 design into the active line (FIG. 28B )reference). In this case, since the BAR symbol is stopped on the active line, there is a possibility that only one of the FRU 11 and the FRU 14 will win at this time. In the state of FIG. 28B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b may be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the slide frame number table and, based on the corresponding slide frame number data, sets the left frame in the range of 0 to 4 frames. The drum 2a is stopped, and if there is a replay 2 symbol in the pull-in range, control for pulling the symbol into the activated line is performed (see FIG. 28C). In the state shown in FIG. 28C, both the FRU 11 and the FRU 14 are in a state of being overwhelmed. The main control unit 100 creates a table of the number of sliding frames after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and performs the main control when the player performs the third stop operation of the middle stop button 10b. The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and draws either the BAR symbol or the jewel symbol into the active line. Control is performed (see FIG. 28D). On the other hand, if neither the BAR symbol nor the jewel symbol can be drawn into the activated line, the small-sized hand in the pushing order is displayed (not shown). In the state where the bonus 1 has been internally won (carryover state), if the player loses the small push order, the bonus 1 is won. That is, the state of FIG. 28C in the inside of the bonus 1 is a state in which both the inhibition small combination and the bonus 1 are in a temporary state.

  FIG. 29 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series. However, FIG. 29A is the same as FIG. 26A, and a duplicate description will be omitted.

When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop button 10a in the incorrect answer operation sequence in the state of FIG. 29 (A), the main control unit 100 refers to the slip frame number table and obtains the corresponding slip frame number data. 29, the control for stopping the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames and drawing one of the replay 1 symbol, the replay 2 symbol and the replay 3 symbol into the active line is performed (FIG. 29 (B)). )reference). In this case, since the three symbols in the replay are stopped on the activated line, there is no possibility that only one of the FRU 12 and the FRU 15 will win at this time. In the state of FIG. 29B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c may be operated. I have. When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop button 10b, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and, based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, sets the left drum 2a in the range of 0 to 4 frames. Is stopped, and if there is a BAR symbol or a jewel symbol in the pull-in range, control is performed to draw the symbol into the activated line. For example, when the 17th bell symbol is positioned on the activated line, the middle stop button 10b is pressed. When operated, since no BAR symbol or jewel symbol is present within four frames, the 15th cherry symbol is stopped on the active line in order to display the Koboshi pattern in the small pressing order (FIG. 29C). reference). At this point, there is no possibility of winning all the small roles. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated. When the player performs the third stop operation of the right stop button 10c, The main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and performs a small-order pressing order (replay 3 symbol). , A cherry symbol, and a bell symbol) are displayed (see FIG. 29D). The pushing order bell 2 shown in FIG. 24 and the pushing order bell 3 and the pushing order bell 4 shown in FIG. 25 also have the same logic as the stop control, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted.

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

  RT0 in the figure is an initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination (replaying combination) does not fluctuate. The general game starts. The winning probability (replay probability) of replay in a general game is about 1 / 7.3, and in particular, RT1 transition replay (replay 1), RT2 transition replay (replay 2) and RT3 transition replay (replay 3) are all Since no win is made, in order to shift from this state to RT1, the above-mentioned small push-order combination must be displayed on the activated line. On the other hand, even if BB1 (bonus 1) is ended by internal winning, activation by symbol display, or payout exceeding a predetermined number, the BB1 only returns to the winning RT0 state, so that even this route cannot be shifted to RT1. In addition, in RT0 to RT3, the winning combination may not be won due to the lottery (so-called order, losing).

  In the general game in the RT0 state, if the small pressing order is internally won and the stop operation order of the stop button 10 is incorrectly displayed, so that the Koboshi pattern is displayed on the activated line, the next game enters the RT1 state (continuous game). The number is undefined, that is, infinite). The replay probability in the RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, and most of the winning combinations shown in FIG. 23 are randomly selected, so that it is possible to win a single winning or a plurality of winnings simultaneously. In other words, the game in the initial state and the game in the RT1 state are game states of about 1 / 7.3 with substantially the same replay probability, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is in the RT1 state.

  When the RT2 transition replay (re-game 2) is internally won in the RT1 state and the operation symbol is displayed on the activated line, the state becomes the RT2 state in which the replay probability has increased to about 1/2. In the RT2 state, the winning probability of the two bonus roles and small roles is about 1/3, so the winning probability of the bonus role, the small role, and the replay role is 5/6 (83.3%), and the loss is 1 /. 6 (16.7%).

  The RT1 transition replay (replay 1) is a function for quickly dropping to the RT1 state if the player accidentally presses the stop button unit 10 and the RT2 transition replay is activated. , The same function as that of the order Koboshi) (falling replay).

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

  The actual bonus (bonus 1) can be won in the initial state, the RT1, the RT2 state, and the RT3 state. The bonus 1 is not won internally by itself, but is won simultaneously with the rare small role and the replay role, and the bonus 1 is always carried over. If the player loses the game in the bonus carryover state, the bonus 1 always wins regardless of how the stop button unit 10 is operated (100% symbol pull-in). Further, in the case of a bonus carryover state, if the player loses the push order small part, the bonus 1 will always be won without displaying a dilapidated eye.

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

  The main control unit 100 controls the payout performance, determines all game states shown in FIG. 31, and sends information (game state information) indicating which game state is currently present to the sub control unit 160. Notify. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 controls an effect, and executes various effects based on the game state information received from the main control unit 100.

  When the step set value is re-entered, the main control unit 100 clears and sets various data according to the set value to set the initial state, and the player can start a normal game. In particular, when the setting is changed, the main control unit 100 determines ceiling information and current time information for winning the pseudo bonus. A normal game (short cycle) consisting of about 12 to 18 games, a short cycle game set consisting of 12 normal games (short cycle), and a high-probability game (long cycle) in which a plurality of games that can be transferred thereafter are played. One set is one set (one set game) (see FIG. 55A), and the ceiling information is composed of set number information, short cycle information, and game number information. For example, the main controller 100 determines the ceiling information by lottery, such as the seventh game in the fifth short cycle of the third set. In addition, the short-cycle long hand position lottery is executed in the range of 0 to 11 and the short cycle in the range of 0 to 11. For example, when 6 is set as the short cycle and 9 is set as the long hand position, the sub-control unit 160 adjusts the short hand and the long hand of the watch handpiece 50 to the position of 6:45 based on the received initial time information. That is, the main control unit 100 determines the initial time information of the watch accessory 50 in the range of 0:05 to 11:55, and transmits the initial time information to the sub control unit 160. The main control unit 100 determines the initial time information when the setting is changed, and the sub control unit 160 adjusts the time of the clock accessory 50 based on the received initial time information, so that the player can know whether the setting has been changed. Can not. Conversely, if the specification is set to match a predetermined time (for example, the position of 0:00) at the time of the setting change, the player can detect that the setting has been changed.

  The non-ART state is basically composed of a normal game (short cycle) and a high-probability game (long cycle). When one game progresses (the game progresses), the long hand of the watch role 50 advances (moves). The hour hand also moves (moves) slightly. The clock handpiece 50 is at a position indicating 6:45, and moves to the position of 6:50 when one game is consumed by the third stop operation. Then, when one game is consumed at the position of 6:55, it becomes exactly 7 o'clock, and one normal game (short cycle) ends. After that, when the game is completed a plurality of times, and one game is completed at 11:55, the short-period game ends (ends after 12 hours), and when the transition condition is satisfied, approximately 20 games can be executed. (Long cycle). One set is composed of the 12 normal games (short cycle) and the subsequent high-probability games (long cycle). If the ceiling information is the third game in the 0th short cycle of the second set, the winning is achieved after the third game, and the main control unit 100 determines at which point the winning is announced. For example, the main control unit 100 determines the fifth game of the next normal game (short cycle), and transmits the notification game information to the sub control unit 160. When the rare combination is won by the combination lottery, the main control unit 100 executes the transition lottery, and when the combination is won, the main control unit 100 shifts to the high-probability game (rare combination). The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the remaining clear point (long cycle) is equal to or less than a threshold of 20 points at the end of the short cycle game set. ). On the other hand, if the score exceeds 20 points, the routine shifts to the next set game, ie, the normal game (short cycle 0) (see FIG. 55 (A)).

  The main control unit 100 determines, by lottery, how many games to play in the short cycle when a normal game (short cycle) enters. There are three kinds of game number lottery tables, the first game number lottery table in which the pseudo bonus is not elected (non-hidden) and the normal production state (non-gase production state), and the pseudo bonus is non-election (non-hidden) and the tilting state ( This is a second game number lottery table in a gaseous production state) and a third game number lottery table in which a pseudo bonus is a winning state (hidden state). In the first game number lottery table, almost 12 games are won on average, while in the second game number lottery table and the third game number lottery table, about 14 games are selected from 12 games to 16 games on average. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation. The sub control unit 160 receives the number of games determined by the main control unit 100, and performs an effect of stopping the time corresponding to the number of excess games by using the clock accessory 50. For example, if the number of received games is 14, the number of excess games is two, so the sub control unit 160 stops the time for two games. In other words, despite the progress of one game, an effect in which the long hand rattles but does not advance for five minutes is performed twice in one hour. In addition, an effect is performed in which the long hand returns backward for 10 minutes after the end of one game. That is, when the total number of games (14 games) exceeds the predetermined number of games (12 games), even if one game progresses, the long hand is set to 5 minutes (first predetermined amount) and the short hand is set to 1/12 hours. (2nd predetermined amount) There are times when an effect that does not move is performed. However, there are a plurality of effect patterns other than these.

  In addition to the ceiling, the main control unit 100 executes a pseudo-bonus lottery at the time of winning the rare small role and at the time of the actual bonus, and sets the pseudo-bonus to a releaseable state when the winning is achieved. In particular, the main control unit 100 determines that the long cycle point accumulated in one set of the normal game (short cycle) 12 times and the high probability game (long cycle) one time reaches the clear point (or exceeds the clear point). In this case, the pseudo bonus is set to the winning state, and the advantageous section display LED is lit at the lighting timing described later (that is, the advantageous section is determined to be won). Note that the high-probability game (long cycle) and the high-probability game (rare combination) are games as advantageous sections. In addition, long-period points can be obtained in high-probability games (rare roles).

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

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

  Since the normal game (short period 0) has a low probability, the main control unit 100 selects the acquired point lottery table (for low probability) and, for about 12 games, randomly selects the acquired points according to the role lottery result. Then, the acquired points are subtracted from each of the stored CPt-L and CPt-S. When either CPt-L or CPt-S becomes 0, the pseudo bonus release condition is achieved, and then a pseudo bonus winning is announced. If the CPt-S does not become 0 in the normal game (short cycle 0), a new CPt-S is drawn at the start of the normal game (short cycle 1), but the CPt-L has a long cycle game. The CPt-L is taken over for the next set at the end, and CPt-L is drawn again for the next set. The normal game (short cycle 2) and the normal game (short cycle 8) are obtained point lottery tables (for medium probability), and the normal game (short cycle 5) and normal games (short cycle 11) are obtained point lottery tables (for high probability). ) Is selected, and the acquired points are determined by lottery according to the result of the lottery. Also in the rare role game, the acquired points are determined by lottery, and are subtracted from CPt-L. The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the remaining clear point (long cycle) (that is, CPt-L) is equal to or less than the threshold of 20 points at the time of ending the normal game (short cycle 11). If so, the game is shifted to a high-probability game (long cycle). On the other hand, if the score exceeds 20 points, the routine shifts to the next set game, ie, the normal game (short cycle 0) (see FIG. 55 (A)).

  When shifting to the high-probability game (long cycle), CPt-S is determined similarly to the short cycle game, and when CPt-S becomes 0, the game is cleared (condition achieved). In addition, the CPt-L started from the normal game (short period 0) is also taken over, and when it reaches 0, it is cleared (attainment of conditions), so that both CPt-L and CPt-S may be cleared. When the pseudo bonus ends and the pseudo bonus ends, the game will always be a long-period game, and if there is a back stock, it will be released here, but the points will be subtracted from the succeeding CPt-L, so it will be 0. Sometimes it is cleared. If the back stock is 1 and the CPt-L is 0, a pseudo bonus by the back stock is executed. If the pseudo bonus is ended with the back stock being 0, the pseudo bonus is won because the CPt-L in the long cycle game is 0. Become. In this case, when the long cycle game ends, a new CPt-L for the next set is determined, and the next set of three short cycle games (normal game (short cycle 0) to normal game (short cycle 2) Bonus will be released within)).

  In the case of the pseudo bonus winning, the main control unit 100 sets the pseudo bonus winning flag according to the type (for example, the winning flag 1 of the pseudo bonus 1, the winning flag 2 of the pseudo bonus 2, ..., the winning flag of the pseudo bonus N). N). At this time, the main control unit 100 changes the reel symbol stop control according to the presence or absence of the winning of the advantageous section and the type of the winning section that has been won. In other words, when the pseudo bonus has been internally won, the main control unit 100 can display a reach as a roll when the actual bonus pattern cannot be drawn. At present, the main control unit 100 changes the stop control according to the winning state of the winning combination (that is, the operated condition device). By changing the stop control according to the type of the section, it is possible to provide an expectation of winning the advantageous section and an expectation of the won advantageous section according to the stop appearance of the symbol. The advantage section winning reach (chance chance) and the hitting 3,000 hits fixed reach can be provided (see FIG. 42).

  The main control unit 100 changes the symbol stop control when the lottery result of the winning is unwinning (pure loss) in a state where the winning flag 1 of the pseudo bonus 1 is set, and thereby reaches the first reach in FIG. ~ Reach 3 can be displayed. The main control unit 100 can display the reach 10 of FIG. 42 by changing the symbol stop control when the winning lottery result of the combination is a pure loss in a state where the winning flag 2 of the pseudo bonus 2 is set. It becomes possible. Similarly, in a state where the winning flag N-1 of the pseudo bonus N-1 is set, if the lottery result of the combination is a pure loss, the reach 11 in FIG. 42 is displayed, and the winning flag N of the pseudo bonus N is If the lottery result of the winning combination is pure loss in the standing state, the reach eye 12 in FIG. 42 can be displayed. It should be noted that the reach shown in FIG. 42 includes a plurality of reach stopped within the actual bonus (for example, Gethenna at the center in the upper diagram of FIG. 42).

  The main control unit 100 changes the symbol stop control when the lottery result of the combination is cherry and the cherry combination is missed in a state where any one of the winning flags 1 to N is set, thereby obtaining the reach of FIG. The eyes 4 to 6 can be displayed. Further, the main control unit 100 changes the symbol stop control when the lottery result of the winning combination is watermelon and the watermelon combination is missed in a state where any of the winning flags 1 to N is set, thereby obtaining the symbol stop control shown in FIG. Can be displayed. In particular, if any one of the winning flags 1 to N is set and the lottery result of the combination is watermelon, and the pseudo bonus and the watermelon combination are simultaneously won, the first reach can be displayed. . Although the reach in FIG. 42 is different from the pattern arrangement diagram of the drum in FIG. 21, it is only a reference example for explaining the reach, and therefore, the arrangement need not match the actual arrangement. Absent.

  Here, referring to FIG. 31, when a lottery trigger (rare role) is won by the lottery, the main control unit 100 executes a lottery to determine whether or not to shift to a high-probability game (rare role). The process of shifting to the probability game (rare combination) is executed, and the advantageous section display LED is turned on. In addition, when lighting the advantageous section display LED, the main control unit 100 sets the lighting timing (timing to notify) of any of the time from the operation of the start lever 9 until the medal (game medium) can be inserted. Although the timing is determined by lottery, different lottery tables (for lottery) for determining the notification timing of the pseudo bonus (special game) and for determining the notification timing of the high-probability game state (long cycle or rare role) The notification timing is determined by lottery using data (see FIG. 43). In addition, the lottery table differs depending on the type of the pseudo bonus that has been won and the high probability states A to N. In the case where the bonus 1 (the continuous actuating device for the second kind special actor: the actual bonus) is won and at the same time the pseudo bonus (special game) is won, the operation symbol is displayed, The advantageous section display LED may be turned on.

When the pseudo BB is won, the main control unit 100 starts the start lever (winning probability 70%), the first stop operation (winning probability 2%), the second stop operation (winning probability 3%), the third stop operation (winning probability). When the start lever is won, the advantageous section display LED is turned on after the start lever 9 is operated. Further, when the third stop operation is won, the advantageous section display LED is turned on after the final stop operation of the stop button unit 10. When any operation of the stop button unit 10 is won, the main control unit 100 determines by lottery either the operation time (ON time) or the operation release time (OFF time). Further, the time from when the start lever 9 or the stop button unit 10 is operated to when the notification is issued may be determined. For example, when the pseudo BB is won and the start lever 9 is won, the main control unit 100 puts the reel in a frozen state and informs the user five seconds after the start lever 9 is operated, or the third button of the button unit 10. A notification is given one second after the release of the stop operation. When the pseudo RB is won, the main control unit 100 starts the start lever (winning probability 50%), the first stop operation (winning probability 0%), the second stop operation (winning probability 0%), the third stop operation (winning probability). 50%), only one of the two start levers or the third stop operation is won. Therefore, in the case of the pseudo BB or the pseudo RB, it is possible to be notified at the time of the start lever or the third stop operation. The nature becomes high.

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

  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. 32A shows a daytime stage screen, which is mainly used in a normal game (short cycle) in which a winning probability of a pseudo bonus (third bonus or assist bonus) is relatively low. In addition, the current time is displayed at the lower right of the screen, and the clock accessory 50 also displays the same time. However, if the current time on the screen is different from the time indicated by the clock accessory 50, the battle game is confirmed or the pseudo bonus is released. FIG. 32 (B) shows a night stage screen, which is mainly used in a high-probability game (long cycle) in which the winning probability of the pseudo bonus is extremely high or in an internally won state (released winning state). Then, the player is excited with the expectation of releasing the pseudo bonus. Although not shown, there is also an evening stage, which is used in a high-probability state having an intermediate probability between a low-probability normal state and an ultra-high-probability state.

  The sub-control unit 160 includes a middle cherry (referred to in the industry as a “single cherry”), a strong cherry, a weak cherry, a strong watermelon, a weak watermelon, and a strong bell that is independently selected and aligned regardless of the pushing order. When a rare small role such as a role is won and the subsequent lottery is further won, the normal daytime screen and the evening screen are switched to the nighttime screen. On the other hand, a falling lottery is performed with a predetermined probability each time a replay is won, so that during a general game, a normal daytime screen, an eveningtime screen, and a nighttime screen are alternately displayed at a predetermined frequency. In general, these display screens switch the effect depending on the stay mode such as the low probability state or the high probability state during the bonus internal winning in order to suggest the correct mode to the player, but the mode suggestion is not necessarily correct Not limited to this, by appropriately performing the gaseous production, the player's expectation can be further increased.

FIG. 32 (C) shows a night kaminari effect screen. When the player operates the start lever from the night stage screen to start the variable display game, the sub-control unit 160 determines a predetermined condition such as when the rare small role is won. Each time is established, a pseudo bonus lottery (AT bonus lottery) is performed. When the pseudo bonus lottery is performed, the sub-control unit 160 performs an effect such as dropping a kaminari on the night stage screen together with the thunder, in order to inform the player of the pseudo bonus lottery. In addition, a night kaminari screen is used as a precursor effect for releasing the real bonus (BB1) or the pseudo bonus (pseudo BB or pseudo RB). In particular, when the real bonus (BB1) is won during normal times, the day stage screen is suddenly changed to the night stage screen, and a lightning continuous effect is performed at least twice to indicate the bonus winning. Further, when the lightning effect is performed three times in succession from the daytime stage screen, it indicates that the real bonus has been confirmed and the pseudo bonus lottery has been won. Therefore, by appropriately generating the thundering sound and the Kaminari production, it is possible to increase the expectation of the player.

  When notifying the bonus winning (actual bonus or pseudo-bonus), the sub-control unit 160 becomes the pseudo-bonus precursor of FIG. 33, and in the notification fluctuation display game after performing the precursor Kaminari effect several times in FIG. 32 (C), The night stage screen is displayed again (see FIG. 33 (A)), and two bats with plates approach from a distance in accordance with the operation of the stop button unit 10 so that the character "BONUS" can be gradually recognized. (See FIG. 33 (B)), and a bat announcement effect to fly away last is performed.

  In addition, from the state where the night stage screen shown in FIG. 33A is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, the graveyard is enlarged, and the butler of the character is shouted “Olya” and “Tiroro Lorone”. Along with the sound effect, a hero character may appear from the grave hole in the center of the screen that has been dug up, so that the premier effect is intense for the player (see FIG. 33C).

  When the pseudo bonus is determined by releasing the bonus, the pseudo bonus is waiting after the confirmation notification effect, and the promotion lottery screen is displayed (see FIG. 34A). The pseudo bonus includes a pseudo BB and a pseudo RB. When the push order small combination is won during the pseudo bonus standby, the main control unit 100 transmits only the winning operation order information to the sub control unit 160. When only the winning operation order information is received, the sub-control unit 160 understands (programmed) that the winning combination is a small pressing order, and therefore, a number indicating the pressing order in a yellow circle as an effect. Are displayed (see FIG. 34B). However, in the case of the push order replay, the main control unit 100 transmits to the sub control unit 160 that the winning combination is the replay and the operation order information (see FIG. 34C). The main control unit 100 determines which of the pseudo BB and the pseudo RB is to be released during the promotion game, and when the bonus replay 1 (red 7 is aligned) or the bonus replay 2 (BAR is aligned) is won, the main control unit 100 reversely pushes the red 7 symbol. (See FIG. 34C). During the pseudo bonus standby, the pseudo RB is promoted to the pseudo BB according to the winning combination.

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

  The main control unit 100 sets both the external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) and the external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) of the external centralized terminal board 170 to the OFF state during the pseudo bonus standby (the state of RT1 in FIG. 30). When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state, the sub controller 160 is notified of the operation order of the stop button unit 10. When operated correctly by the player, the operation symbol of the RT2 shift replay is displayed on the activated line, and the replay probability becomes the RT2 state in which the replay probability is increased to about 1/2. In addition, when the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won in the RT2 state, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub-control unit 160 of the operation order of the stop button unit 10. When operated correctly by the player, the operation symbol of the RT3 shift replay is displayed on the activated line, and the replay probability becomes the approximately same RT3 state of about 1/2.

  The main control unit 100 determines the pseudo BB or the pseudo RB to be released in the RT3 state regardless of whether or not the actual bonus (bonus 1) is internally won. In the case of the pseudo BB, the red 7 symbol ( Waiting for the bonus replay 1 to be displayed (a special combination of symbols) is aligned in a straight line going up to the left (it can be stopped and displayed in a straight line), but if the ending counter is not 0, even if the bonus replay 1 is won Instead of the state shown in FIG. 34 (C), the operation order of left first or middle first is notified. As a result, the seven red symbols are not displayed in a straight line, and the normal replay is activated. The ending counter is decremented by 1, for example, when the predetermined value is 10 games and one game progresses, and the ending counter is set to 0 on condition that a reverse push notification condition based on the game counter is satisfied. In the state (C), a combination of special symbols is aimed at by a reverse push operation. The ending counter is activated when an enemy boss character among a plurality of enemy characters is defeated, and during the waiting for the pseudo bonus, at least 10 games continue, and then a special symbol is displayed.

  When releasing the pseudo BB, the main control unit 100 determines that the bonus replay 1 has been internally won in the RT3 state (and in the state where the reverse push notification condition is satisfied) regardless of whether or not the actual bonus has been internally won. , The pseudo BB signal is output from OFF to ON by the final operation of the stop switch. At this time, irrespective of whether the red 7 symbol is displayed in a straight line or not, the pseudo BB signal is turned from OFF to ON at the time when the third stop button is released. However, when the player does not operate the stop button unit 10 according to the notified operation order, the pseudo BB signal is turned from OFF to ON. For example, in the case of releasing the pseudo BB, when the pressing order bell is won in either the RT2 state or the RT3 state, (in spite of the notification of the operation order of the stop switch), the knitted eye is displayed. If there is no payout, a pseudo BB signal is output. However, if the obstructing small win has won and, for example, one payout has been made, the pseudo BB signal is not output. Alternatively, when releasing the pseudo BB, the RT2 shift replay (replay 2) is internally won, and the operation symbol of the RT2 shift replay is displayed on the activated line (even though the operation order of the stop switch is notified). If not, a pseudo BB signal is output. Alternatively, when the pseudo BB is released, the RT3 shift replay (replay 3) is internally won, and the operation symbol of the RT3 shift replay is displayed on the activated line (even though the operation order of the stop switch is notified). , A pseudo BB signal is output.

  In the case of releasing the pseudo RB, the main control unit 100, in the RT3 state in which the actual bonus has not been internally won (and the state where the reverse push notification condition is satisfied) is triggered by the internal win of the bonus replay 2, The pseudo RB signal is output from OFF to ON by the final operation of the stop switch. At this time, regardless of whether or not the BAR symbol is displayed in a straight line, the pseudo RB signal is turned from OFF to ON at the time when the third stop button is released. However, the pseudo RB signal is changed from OFF to ON when the stop button unit 10 is not operated according to the operation order notified by the player. For example, when releasing the pseudo RB, when the pressing order bell is won in any of the RT2 state or the RT3 state, (in spite of the notification of the operation order of the stop switch), the knitted eye is displayed. If there is no payout, a pseudo RB signal is output. However, if the small winning combination wins and, for example, there is one payout, the pseudo RB signal is not output. Alternatively, when releasing the pseudo RB, the RT2 shift replay (replay 2) is internally won, and the operation symbol of the RT2 shift replay is displayed on the active line (even though the operation order of the stop switch is notified). Otherwise, a pseudo RB signal is output. Alternatively, when releasing the pseudo RB, the RT3 shift replay (replay 3) is internally won, and the operation symbol of the RT3 shift replay is displayed on the activated line (even though the stop switch operation order is notified). Otherwise, a pseudo RB signal is output.

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

  The main controller 100 controls not only the lottery but also all controls related to the payout performance (assist function). After the state of FIG. 35 (B) and FIG. 35 (C), the main control unit 100 sets the freeze state for several seconds to delay the progress of the game, and sends the determined pseudo bonus and the initial number of games to the sub control unit 160. Send. When the main control unit 100 activates the pseudo BB, the sub control unit 160 displays the pseudo BB start screen during the freeze state, and displays the time as the initial number of games. For example, since 5 minutes is equivalent to one game, 180 minutes in FIG. 36A is 36 games. The sub-control unit 160 displays “2 hours and 60 minutes” as the remaining game at the upper right of the pseudo BB start screen, and displays the clock handpiece 50 at 9:00 (a position at which it becomes exactly 12:00 when a game of 36 games is executed) Adjust to

  For example, by the time the pseudo BB start screen is displayed, a high-probability game (rare role) shown in FIG. Assume that This advantageous section is a section in which the instruction function may be activated (a section in which the instruction function is activated at least once), and its ending condition is any game as long as it is within the maximum number of advantageous games (for example, within MAX 1500 games). You can decide on the number. In this case, the number of advantageous games to be consumed is already 100 games, and if the maximum number of advantageous games is 1500, the number of remaining advantageous games that can be executed is 1400 games. In addition, since the execution of the 36 games (180 minutes) in FIG. 36 (A) is determined at the start of the pseudo BB, the main control unit 100 determines the number of games that can be added (the number of remaining advantageous games− Lottery is selected within the range of 1,364 games. That is, the main control unit 100 refers to the number of remaining games in the advantageous section for the processing such as the ART extra drawing. In addition, the main control unit 100 refers to the remaining game number of the displayed ART, and weakens (or eliminates) the additional draw so as not to exceed the number of additional games. In other words, the display effect device 11 displays the number of executable advantageous games, and the main control unit 100 updates the displayed number of advantageous games and the maximum number of games that can be increased in accordance with the progress of the advantageous games. When determining the number of additional games according to the result of the lottery, the number of advantageous games to be increased is determined with reference to the maximum number of games that can be increased. The main control unit 100 transmits the determined number of advantageous games to be increased to the sub control unit 160. The sub-control unit 160 selects and displays the additional effect to be displayed on the display effect device 11 from the plurality of additional effects based on the received number of advantageous games.

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

  When the main control unit 100 receives the operation of the start lever 9 in the state of FIG. 36 (A), it starts the first half of the pseudo BB, and according to the winning combination shown in FIG. 23, reduces the attack power and defensive power of the hero. The point lottery for determining the number of games and the number of games (the number of hours) are added. When the pushing order bell 2-1 shown in FIG. 24 is internally won, the main control unit 100 transmits group combination information and pushing order information (middle → right → left: assist information) to the sub-control unit 160 as a winning combination drawing result. . When receiving the group combination information and the pressing order information as the combination lottery result, the sub-control unit 160 sets the pressing order of the stop button unit 10 necessary for winning the small bell combination (FRU1) to yellow (indicating the small bell combination). They are indicated by circles and numbers 1 to 3 (see FIG. 36B). In this case, the numeral 1 meaning the first stop operation is displayed in a large yellow circle, and "Naka" is pronounced in the voice of the protagonist such as Dracula or Princess. However, if the player mistakenly operates and displays a curved line, the process shifts to RT1 in FIG. 30. In this case, when the push order replay is won in order to shift to RT2 or RT3 again, the same display is performed. And assist the player with voice. The main control unit 100 transmits the replay combination information (information indicating that the winning combination is the replay combination) and the pressing order information to the main control unit 100 as the combination lottery result. When the player correctly operates the middle stop button 10b, the sub-control unit 160 ruptures and deletes the large yellow circle at the center, and enlarges and displays the numeral 2 indicating the second stop operation in a large yellow circle. (See FIG. 36C).

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

  The main control unit 100 stores the number of games consumed from the start of the pseudo BB first half, and FIG. 38 (A) shows the right-to-middle-left push in the final game of the pseudo BB first half (36 times or 180 minutes). This shows a state in which the small win 4-1 (see FIG. 25) is internally won. When the stop button section 10 is operated in the right-to-middle-to-left push order, the main control section 100 pays out 14 game media by winning the small bell (see FIG. 38 (B)) and the pseudo BB. It is determined whether or not the end condition of the first half (36 games or 180 minutes have elapsed) is satisfied. If the end condition is satisfied, the first half of the pseudo BB is ended, and the sub control unit 160 determines that the total number of increase is 167 Is displayed.

  The main control unit 100 performs two games after the first half of the pseudo BB in order to prepare for the battle, and the sub control unit 160 changes the hero character from a child to an adult. Further, in the second half of the pseudo BB, the main control unit 100 performs a battle with any one of a plurality of enemy generals (enemy characters) based on the points (attack power and defense power) accumulated in the first half of the pseudo BB. The shift lottery to the mission game is executed every time (12 games). After winning the transfer lottery, the main control unit 100 returns to the same time in the latter half of the pseudo BB after playing the mission game and uses up the rest. Note that the mission game is successful if the specified small role is drawn a specified number of times, and then the enemy general is defeated by damaging the enemy general. When the second half of the pseudo BB is terminated in this way, the pseudo BB signal of the external centralized terminal plate 170 is temporarily turned off (High signal) from OFF (Low signal) despite the RT3 state being maintained. Then, the addition and determination game is executed, and when the battle is won, an additional stock lottery is performed and the process shifts to a pseudo bonus standby state. If there is a bonus stock, the process shifts to a pseudo bonus waiting state. On the other hand, if the main control unit 100 loses the battle, it makes a short freeze state of about 3 seconds and shifts to a high-probability game (long cycle) (see FIG. 38C). The sub-control unit 160 displays 925 Total on the bonus end screen, x3 to indicate that the BIG bonus has been performed once, and x2 to indicate that the REG bonus has been performed twice. In addition, the sub-control unit 160 displays the start of the high-probability game (long cycle) by setting the clock accessory 50 to 0:00.

  Details of the battle game (second half of the pseudo BB): In the first half of the pseudo BB, the main control unit 100 has already determined the attack level (attack power) and the defense level (defense power: shield point) according to the result of the role drawing. . At the start of the first game of the battle game, the main control unit 100 executes a lottery to determine whether or not the hero is invincible, and sets an invincibility flag when the main character is won. When the invincible flag is set, the hero is damaged by the attack from the enemy general (enemy character) and the defense level is lowered, but the lottery for losing is invalidated, so the hero always wins (that is, the hero). Do not lose). In addition, when the invincible flag is in the on state, the sub-control unit 160 performs a lottery to determine whether or not a premium ally character appears, and when the victory is won, the ally character is displayed on the display effect device 11 to indicate that it has become invincible.

  The main control unit 100 determines a rough amount of damage to be given to the enemy general according to the result of the lottery (including a non-winning) (a damage group to be applied: no damage, small damage, medium damage, large damage, and fixed damage). Type (also called "degree of expected value") is determined by lottery. When the role lottery result is a pressing order small role, a rare small role, or a special replay role, the applied damage always occurs (that is, no damage is selected). On the other hand, if the result of the lottery is a normal replay role or a non-winning (losing), there is a possibility that no damage is selected by the lottery. However, depending on the lottery, damage is given to the enemy general. The determined damage of the applied damage group is to rob all the HP (hit points) of the enemy general, and the victory is determined. In the case of no damage, the damage given to the enemy general is 0 (that is, the HP of the enemy general cannot be reduced), and when there is no damage, the HP of the hero may be deprived. The large damage, the medium damage, and the small damage are those in which the expected value (average) of the number of applied damages is large, medium, and small, and is determined by lottery using a lottery table corresponding to large, medium, and small.

  FIG. 52 is a small combination group conversion list.

  During the battle game (during the scramble game), when the big bonus 1 of the real bonus is won, the game shifts to the real bonus game thereafter. During this actual bonus game, if a plurality of types of re-games are drawn and special re-games are internally won, the jewelry symbols can be aligned with the center straight line (to be in a state of being aligned). When the special replaying game is internally won, the main control unit 100 transmits to the sub-control unit 160 a lighting command for causing the jewel lamp of the magic team 51 to light blue. Further, a lighting command is transmitted each time the special replaying game is internally won, and a lighting command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160 for lighting one by one in the order of yellow, green, and red. In other words, the gem lamp of the magic team 51 has a non-lighting state, a blue lighting state, a blue-yellow lighting state, a blue-yellow green lighting state, and a blue-yellow green red lighting state. When the special replaying game is internally won in the fully lit state, the main control unit 100 executes a stock lottery of the ART game in one to seven ranges, and issues a lighting command for turning on the center lamp to the sub control unit 160. Send.

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

  In the state where only blue is lit (blue lit state) among the four jewel lamps, when the normal replay 1 is won, the main control unit 100 causes the bell to be won both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1. Then, the winning combination conversion process is executed. In the case where the normal replay 2 is won in the blue lighting state, if the inside of the BB1 is not inside, the bell is won, and if the inside of the BB1 is inside, the winning combination conversion process is executed. When the normal replay 3 is won in the blue lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed assuming that the chance has been won in both the inside of BB1 and the inside of BB1.

  When the common bell 1 is elected in a state where yellow is not lit (yellow non-illuminated state) among the four jewel lamps, the main control unit 100 determines that the bell is elected if BB1 is not inside, and BB1 is inside. If it is medium, the winning combination conversion process is executed assuming that the weak rare combination has been won. When the common bell 2 is won in the non-lighting state of yellow, if the inside of BB1 is not inside, the bell is won. When the pressing order bell is won in the yellow non-lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed assuming that the bell has been won both inside BB1 and inside BB1.

  When the common bell 1 is elected in a state where yellow is lit (yellow lit state) among the four jewel lamps, the main control unit 100 determines that the weak rare role is elected if the BB1 is not inside, and BB1 If it is inside, it is determined that the strong rare role has been won, and the winning combination conversion process is executed. When the common bell 2 is won in the yellow lighting state, if the BB1 is not inside, the weak rare combination is won. If the common bell 2 is inside the BB1, the winning combination conversion process is performed. If the bell is pressed in the yellow lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed assuming that the bell has been won both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1.

  When a weak watermelon is won in a state in which green is not lit (green non-lit state) among the four jewel lamps, the main control unit 100 determines that a weak rare role is won in both the inside of BB1 and the inside of BB1. Then, the winning combination conversion process is executed. When the strong watermelon is won in the green non-lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed assuming that the strong rare combination has been won both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1.

  When a weak watermelon is elected in a state where green is lit (green lit state) out of the four jewel lamps, the main control unit 100 determines that the role of strong rare is elected both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1. Then, the winning combination conversion process is executed. If the strong watermelon is won in the green lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed assuming that the fixed combination has been won both inside BB1 and inside BB1.

  When the weak cherry is won in a state where red is not lit (red non-lit state) among the four gem lamps, the main control unit 100 determines that the weak rare role is used both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1. The winning combination conversion process is executed as a winning combination. When the strong cherry is won in the red non-lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed on the assumption that the strong rare combination has been won both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1.

  When a weak cherry is won in a state where red is lit (red lighting state) among the four jewel lamps, the main control unit 100 determines that the strong rare role is won both inside the BB1 and inside the BB1. Then, the winning combination conversion process is executed. When the strong cherry is won in the red lighting state, the winning combination conversion process is performed assuming that the fixed combination has been won both inside BB1 and inside BB1.

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

  When the result of the lottery is a normal replay (or an improper election at the time of a fall due to a pressing order error) and the damage group to be given is undamaged, the main controller 100 performs a lottery for taking the main character's SP (shield point). ) To make a decision in the range of 0 to 3 points. The main character's SP is a maximum of 10 points, and even if it reaches 0 points, it will not be immediately defeated, and the number of times to fall in the lottery using the same capture lottery table is determined in advance (reducing the memory used and Become). For example, if the main character's SP is 1 point and 3 points are won in the winning lottery, the SP will only be 0 points and can once endure.

  The main control unit 100 executes the invincible lottery of the hero at the start of the first game of the battle game as described above. However, since the number of times until the fall (defeat) is further determined, the number of falls is already determined. I have. However, if the fall does not occur even after the fall lottery has been performed eight times (predetermined number of times), the undefeated flag (non-defeat flag) is set and a winning state is established. The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the role lottery result is normal replay and determines whether or not there is no damage. In the case where there is no damage, the main lottery 100 determines in the range of 0 point to 3 points by the capture lottery. The main control unit 100 performs a lottery at a master defeat rate of 25% if the capture lottery is 0 points, and performs a lottery at a master defeat rate of 50% if the capture lottery is 1 point and 2 points if the capture lottery is 2 points. The lottery is drawn with a master loss rate of 75%, and if the winning lottery is 3 points, the winning is performed with a master loss rate of 90%. For example, it is determined whether or not there is no damage in the first lottery, and if there is no damage (because there is damage to be given), the first drop does not occur. Next, it is determined whether or not there is no damage in the second lottery. In the case of no damage, if the take-out lottery is 0 points, the lottery is drawn with a master defeat rate of 25%. . Next, it is determined whether or not there is no damage in the third lottery. In the case of no damage, if the take-out lottery is 2 points, the lottery is drawn with the master's defeat rate of 75%, and if it is not elected, the third time also falls do not do. Next, in the fourth lottery, it is determined whether or not there is no damage. If no damage is obtained, if the winning lottery is 2 points, the lottery is drawn at a 50% defeat rate of the main character, and if it is won, the fall is the fourth time. Is determined. In this manner, if the fall does not occur even after the fall lottery is executed eight times (predetermined number of times), a no-defeat flag indicating a winning state is set (that is, a winning state is achieved in eight consecutive unwinnings).

  In other words, during the special game, the capture game execution means for executing the capture game in which the displayed enemy character and the friendly character compete for points, and the game in which the defeat condition is satisfied by the loss of the point of the ally, A game frequency determining means for determining the game frequency until the end condition is satisfied. There is a mutual role in the role to be drawn internally, and the mutual role is a role in which there are cases where the enemy points are stolen and in which the ally points are stolen. When the result of the lottery is the mutual role, it is determined whether or not to win the enemy's point, and in the case of the non-robbing, a raffle lottery for robbing an ally's point within a predetermined range is performed, and the robbing point is determined. The deciding means decides the number of games by executing an end lottery in accordance with the capture points by the capture lottery before the defeat condition is satisfied.

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

  The main control unit 100 executes the take-out lottery and the fall lottery using one lottery table corresponding to the enemy character, so that the memory capacity of the ROM 101 can be reduced. The main control unit 100 selects a lottery table corresponding to the enemy character in step S300, and in step S305, selects a random number value Rd from random number values generated within a predetermined random number range (a value of 0 to 65535). It is extracted (the pseudo random number counter value can be used as the random number value Rd). The main control unit 100 sets the value of the number of loops N to 0 in step S310, and subtracts a value obtained by subtracting the set number Pn stored corresponding to the number of loops N (0 in this case) from the random number Rd in step S315. The process proceeds to step S320 with the random number value Rd.

  The main control unit 100 determines whether or not the random number value Rd is greater than 0 (positive value) in step S320, and if so, sets a value obtained by adding 1 to N in step S325 as a new N, In step S315, a value obtained by subtracting the set number Pn stored corresponding to the number of loops N (1 in this case) from the random number value Rd is set as a new random number value Rd, and the process proceeds to step S315 to repeat this loop until the end condition is satisfied. repeat. On the other hand, if the random number value Rd does not exceed 0, the main control unit 100 determines that the end condition has been satisfied, and determines in step S330 that the SP (shield point) of the hero has exceeded 0 (positive value). Judge. If the number of loops N has been exceeded, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S335 to use the value of the number of loops N as the capture shield number (capture shield point) as it is, and in step S340, subtracts the capture shield number from the main character's current SP. Is the new main character SP, and this subroutine is terminated. On the other hand, if the main character SP does not exceed 0 in step S330, the main control unit 100 stores the loss rate corresponding to the number of loops N (winning probability: in the above case, the winning lottery is defeated at N = 0 points) Rate is 25%, defeat rate is 50% at N = 1 point, defeat rate is 75% at N = 2 points, defeat rate is 90% at N = 3 points), and a loss lottery is executed at step S350 to execute this subroutine. To end.

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

  If the result of the lottery is a pressing small role (attack), the main control unit 100 determines whether or not to change (change the handling) the normal replay role (defensive role) to the role of stealing enemy points by the change lottery. decide. When the change lottery is won, the main control unit 100 performs a lottery for the number of continuous games (game section) for immobilizing the opponent, and performs an effect of stopping the enemy's time. For example, if the number of continuous games is five and the normal replay role is won in the second game and the fourth game, the nature is changed to the small win role (given damage group), and the battle is changed as described above. Point acquisition processing in the game is performed. As a result, during the continuous game number, even if the replay role is usually won, the player is not attacked, so that the player can have a sense of security.

  When the normal replay combination is successively won, the main control unit 100 determines by lottery whether or not to shift the stay stage. When the transfer lottery is won, the main control unit 100 performs a lottery of the transfer destination of any one of the stage 2 having the double magnification or the stage 3 having the triple magnification and the number of continuous games (game section). As a result, during the number of continuous games, the attack power is doubled or tripled, and the player has a chance of one-shot reversal.

  The main control unit 100 executes the lottery of the mission game when the long hand of the clock accessory 50 changes from 11 to 12. When the starting lottery is won, a special mission game starts when the watch accessory 50 operates the start lever pointing to 12:00. As the contents of this mission, for example, if the player wins the push small win three times within 10 games, or if the target small win is won a predetermined number of times, the battle victory is determined in the mission.

  Details of pseudo RB: When activating the pseudo RB, the main control unit 100 sets a freeze state for several seconds after the state of FIG. 35 (C) to delay the progress of the game, and starts the pseudo BB during this freeze state. The screen is displayed, and the initial number of games is displayed in time (120 minutes). As in the case of the pseudo BB, 5 minutes are equivalent to one game, so that 120 minutes is 24 games. The sub-control unit 160 displays “1 hour and 60 minutes” as the remaining game on the upper right of the pseudo BB start screen, and adjusts the clock accessory 50 to 10:00 (not shown). The main control unit 100 sets a clear point at the start of the pseudo RB, accumulates points in the first half of the pseudo RB, and in the second half of the pseudo RB, determines whether or not the accumulated points reach the clear point and the clear condition is satisfied. To express success or failure. When the second half of the pseudo RB is completed, the main control unit 100 temporarily changes the pseudo RB signal of the external centralized terminal board 170 from ON (High signal) to OFF (Low signal) despite maintaining the RT3 state, and adds The judgment game is executed, and when the clear condition is satisfied, an additional stock lottery is performed and the process shifts to a pseudo bonus standby, while the clear condition is not satisfied, and the process shifts to a high-probability game (long cycle).

  Here, referring to FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, in all gaming states within the square frame, the actual bonus (bonus 1) is simultaneously performed with another small role (rare small role, etc.) or another replay role (special replay role). When an internal win is made, no prize is won in the game, and an actual bonus is always waiting (internal). The bonus 1 is a penetrating two-type BB, and the replay winning probability does not change even if the internal winning, the operation (winning), or the bonus 1 is completed. The RT0 state and the RT1 state in FIG. 30 are states in which the losing probability is high. In the carryover state in which the bonus 1 after the next game is internally won, if the losing occurs, the bonus 1 is irrespective of the operation order and the operation timing of the stop button unit 10. No, they always win. However, the RT2 state and the RT3 state are high-probability replaying states with a loss probability of 0 (or about 1/6000), and the small role or the replay role is won in all the lottery areas. In the RT3 state, if the BB1 is in the carryover state, BB1 cannot be won.

  FIG. 39 is a combination table (simultaneous winning pattern of small wins) of condition devices of small wins regardless of the pressing order (common bells 1 to 3). FIGS. 40 and 41 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the window in a time-series manner.

  The small role (common bell) regardless of the pressing order is such that the bell small role (middle bell or lower right bell) is always won regardless of the operation sequence and operation timing of the stop button unit 10, while bonus 1 is internally won. In the carryover state, when the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a, when any one of a plurality of types of one small winning combinations that are simultaneously won is won, and when the operation symbol of the bonus 1 is displayed. There is a small winning small role. There are three types of common bells, common bell 1 to common bell 3, and the player cannot see the stop form of the symbol at the time of the second stop and aim at one small win.

  In the non-carryover state in which the bonus 1 has not been internally won, the common bell 1 pulls the bell symbol regardless of how the player operates the stop button unit 10 (regardless of the pressing order and the operation timing). The small role must win. On the other hand, when the player operates the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c (other than the left stop button 10a) in the first stop operation in the carryover state in which the bonus 1 has been internally won, the common bell 1 is pushed or operated in the same manner. Regardless of the timing, the bell design is drawn in and the bell small role always wins. However, when the player operates the left stop button 10a in the first stop operation (first stop operation of the specific reel) during the carryover of the BB, the symbols (replay 1, replay 2, or replay 1) constituting the 18 types of inhibition small wins Stop any one of 3) on the active line. The operation pattern 1 of the bonus 1 is (replay 1 / replay 2 / replay 3) on the left drum 2a, (BAR / jewel / cherry) on the middle drum 2b, and (replay 1) on the right drum 2c. In addition, the operation pattern 2 of the bonus 1 is (replay 1 / replay 2 / replay 3) on the left drum 2a, (replay 2 / replay 3) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR / jewel / watermelon 1) on the right drum 2c. No matter which of the symbols (replay 1, replay 2, or replay 3) constituting the inhibition small combination is stopped, the symbol is the same as the bonus 1.

  When the player operates the left stop button 10a in the first stop operation in the carryover state, for example, the main control unit 100 sets the No. The first 3 replay symbols are stopped on the activated line (see FIG. 40A). In this state, although there is a possibility that the small wins 07 to 09 or 16 to 18 and the bonus 1 can be won, the small wins 01 to 06 or the small wins 10 to 15 cannot be won. When the player operates the middle stop button 10b in the second stop operation, the main control unit 100, for example, The BAR symbol No. 2 is stopped on the active line (see FIG. 40B). In this state, only the inhibition small role 07 or the inhibition small combination 16 and the possibility of winning the bonus 1 remain. In other words, the two obstructing small wins and the bonus 1 are both in a temporary state. Finally, the player sets the right stop button 10c to No. 3 in the third stop operation. When the operation is performed at a timing at which the BAR symbol of No. 2 can be pulled in, the main control unit 100 stops the BAR symbol on the activated line, wins the obstruction small part 07, and the bell symbol is aligned with the upper horizontal line (non-activated line). (See FIG. 40 (C)). In addition, No. If it is the timing at which the jewelry pattern 18 can be drawn in, the jewelry pattern is drawn in and the inhibition small role 16 wins (not shown). On the other hand, the player sets the right stop button 10c to No. 3 in the third stop operation. No. 2 BAR pattern and No. 2 If the operator operates the 18 jewelry symbols at a timing in which neither of them can be pulled in, the main control unit 100 pulls in the replay 1 symbol and wins the bonus 1 (see FIG. 40 (D)).

  FIG. 41A is in the same state as FIG. When the player operates the right stop button 10c in the second stop operation, for example, the main control unit 100 sets the No. The 13 watermelon 1 symbols are stopped on the activated line (see FIG. 41 (B)). In this state, only the inhibition small combination 09 or the inhibition small combination 17 and the possibility of winning the bonus 1 remain. In other words, the two obstructing small wins and the bonus 1 are both in a temporary state. Finally, the player sets the middle stop button 10b to No. 3 in the third stop operation. When the operation is performed at a timing at which ten jewelry symbols can be pulled in, the main control unit 100 stops the jewelry symbol on the activated line, wins the obstruction small part 17, and the bell symbol is aligned with the upper horizontal line (inactive line). (See FIG. 41C). In addition, No. 15 and No. If it is a timing at which the 18th cherry symbol can be drawn in, the cherry symbol is drawn in and the inhibition small role 09 wins (not shown). On the other hand, when the player operates the right stop button 10c in the third stop operation at a timing at which neither the jewelry symbol nor the cherry symbol can be pulled in, the main control unit 100 pulls in the three replay symbols (or the two replay symbols). The bonus 1 is won (see FIG. 41 (D)).

  FIG. 57 is a symbol layout diagram of the drum.

  On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a winding belt (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 periphery of each drum. Is attached to

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

  FIG. 58 is a payout table at the time of normal operation and at the time of single bonus operation.

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

  (1) Single Bonus 1 (SB1: Normal role): Replay on left drum 2a, bell on middle drum 2b, blue 7 / cherry 1 / ball 1 on right drum 2c and stop when they are aligned on the active line. Is 0 and a single bonus 1 is awarded only for the next game (SB1 is activated). The SB1 has no missing parts, and a bell symbol is displayed as a small V character at first glance, and an operating symbol is always displayed (retraction 100%). In the single bonus game, the winning area of the upper bell role (increased role) described later increases. Since this SB1 is not a trigger for changing RT, the winning probability of replay does not change. In addition, there is a function as a chance eye.

  (2) Single bonus 2 (SB2: ordinary character): When the bell on the left drum 2a, the watermelon on the middle drum 2b, and the watermelon on the right drum 2c stop on the activated line, the number of acquired sheets is 0 and the next A single bonus 2 is awarded only for the game (SB2 is activated). SB2 has no dropout, and is visually displayed as if a watermelon pattern was dropped, and an operating pattern is always displayed (100% pull-in). In the single bonus game, the winning area of the upper bell role (increased role) described later increases. Since SB2 is not a trigger for RT fluctuation, the replay winning probability does not change. In addition, there is a function as a chance eye.

  (3) Middle Bell: This is the role name when the bell symbols are aligned and stopped on the active line of each drum, and the acquired number is 14 pieces.

  (4) Lower right bell: For example, when the replay on the left drum 2a, the bell on the middle drum 2b, and the replay on the right drum 2c stop along an effective line, a bell symbol is displayed on the lower right, and the lower right bell is won. I do. The acquired number of medals (game media) is 14.

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

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

  (7) Lower right watermelon: For example, when the bell on the left drum 2a, the watermelon on the middle drum 2b, and the red 7 on the right drum 2c stop on the active line, the watermelon design is displayed straight down to the right, and the lower right watermelon. Wins a prize. The acquired number of medals (game media) is 14.

  (8) Middle Cherry: For example, when the 9th cherry 1 on the left drum 2a, the 19th BAR on the middle drum 2b, and the 14th cherry 1 on the right drum 2c stop on the active line, the middle cherry wins. I do. The number of obtained medals (game media) is two. It is possible to display all three BAR symbols on the lower right. The middle cherry role is an opportunity for a freezing lottery. When the winning is won, a freeze effect (reel lock and reel effect) is performed, and a pseudo bonus is immediately released.

  (9) Double cherries (weak cherries): For example, when the eighth BAR is on the left drum 2a, the cherry 1 or cherry 2 is on the middle drum 2b, and the bell is on the effective line on the right drum 2c, the cherries are moved to the upper right. Two cherry symbols are displayed, and a double cherry wins. The number of obtained medals (game media) is two.

  (10) Triple cherries (strong cherries): For example, when the eighth BAR is on the left drum 2a, the cherry 1 or cherry 2 on the middle drum 2b, and the eleventh watermelon 2 on the right drum 2c stop on the activated line. In the upper right corner, three cherry symbols are displayed, and a triple cherry wins. The number of obtained medals is two.

  (11) Plural types of 1-couplings 1 to n: For example, when the replay on the left drum 2a, the BAR on the middle drum 2b, and the blue 7 on the right drum 2c stop on the active line, the 1-combination 1 wins. . The number of medals (game media) acquired is one. This one-part combination is a small part for stop control, and there are a plurality of types from one-part combination to one-part combination n (n is a natural number of 2 or more), but the same applies to the other one-part combination. Omitted.

  (12) Normal replay: a role name when replay symbols are aligned on the activated line for each drum, for which no medal is obtained, but the next game can be performed while maintaining the bet number of the game. it can. It is effective even if the game is completed consecutively after the next game, and it is possible to continue playing without consuming coins until a game in which replay is not established. An effect in which medals are automatically inserted before the game is started is performed, and the next game can be performed by the player operating the start lever 9. When the normal replay alone is internally won in the random number lottery, the RP flag corresponding to the flag area is set, and the replay symbol is always displayed. At first glance, the replay symbols are aligned with the center horizontal line. Even if the normal replay operation symbol is displayed on the activated line, the replay probability does not change.

  (13) RT1 shift replay (replay 1): For example, a role name when BAR is placed on the left drum 2a, replay is placed on the middle drum 2b, and watermelon is placed on the active line on the right drum 2c. Although not obtained, the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. At first glance, the replay symbols are aligned right down. When the RT1 transition replay is internally won by random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 1 is activated, the replay probability fluctuates, and a transition is made to the RT1 state (a so-called fall replay). Similarly, there is also a hill replay in which a replay symbol is displayed in a hill shape as a replaying game that shifts to the RT1 state.

  (14) RT2 shift replay (replay 2): For example, a role name when a replay is performed on the left drum 2a, a replay is performed on the middle drum 2b, and a bell is formed on the activated line on the right drum 2c. Although not obtained, the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. When the RT2 shift replay is internally won by random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 2 is operated, the replay probability fluctuates to about 2/3, and the state shifts to the RT2 state.

  (15) RT3 shift replay (replay 3): For example, the role name when the replay on the left drum 2a, the replay on the middle drum 2b, and the watermelon on the right drum 2c are on the active line, whereas the medal is Although not obtained, the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. When the RT3 shift replay is internally won by the random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 3 is activated, the replay probability changes to about 2/3, and the state shifts to the RT2 state. Note that the RT3 state and the RT2 state have the same replay probability of about 2/3, but differ in the type of replay winning.

  (16) Chance replay: For example, there is a chance replay in which a replay on the left drum 2a, a replay on the middle drum 2b, and a cherry on the right drum 2c are arranged on an effective line, but the replay pattern is displayed as if it were lost.

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

  (18) Bonus replay 2: This is a role name when the blue seven symbols are stopped on the activated line of each drum. When a super big bonus is won as a pseudo bonus, a pushing order and a target symbol (red seven / blue seven) in which the bonus replay 2 can be stopped are displayed. As another bonus replay 2, the 5th watermelon on the left drum 2a, the 4th red seven on the middle drum 2b, and the 5th red seven on the right drum 2c stop on the active line and stop in line with the upper line, and Some are displayed as Seven.

  (19) Bonus Replay 3: This is a role name when the third red seven on the left drum 2a, the fourth red seven on the middle drum 2b, and the BAR No. 15 on the right drum 2c stop on the activated line. When the regular bonus is won as the pseudo bonus, a pressing order in which the bonus replay 3 can be stopped and a target symbol (red seven / red seven / BAR) are displayed. In addition, in (12) normal replay to (19) bonus replay 3, a plurality of types of replay combinations are simultaneously won, and in particular, a replay combination predetermined in accordance with an operation order wins. This is called a push order replay.

  (20) Pushing order small role (pushing order bell role) Koboshi (1 to m): RT fluctuation trigger symbol displayed on the activated line when the belling role is missed at the time of pushing order small role winning described later ( If any one of the special symbols is displayed, the replay probability fluctuates and the state shifts to the RT1 state. For example, when the bell on the left drum 2a, the bell on the middle drum 2b, and the watermelon on the right drum 2c are displayed on the activated line (display of a falling symbol), the gaming state shifts to the RT1 state (other lines are omitted). Do). The main control unit 100 manages the push order small combination and the push order replay collectively as a group combination (or a push sequence group combination), and during the non-AT (during the non-activation of the assist function), the push sequence small combination Alternatively, regardless of which of the pressing order replays is internally won, the information that the group combination has been won is transmitted to the sub control unit 160. The main control unit 100 transmits the winning combination information to the sub-control unit 160 after the second stop operation, and the sub-control unit 160 performs an effect based on the winning combination information.

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

  The pressing order small combination means that when the operation order of the stop button unit 10 (the pressing order of the stop button unit 10) is correct, the bell small combination (middle bell or lower right bell) is always won, while in the case of an incorrect answer. Is displayed when one of a plurality of types of one small winning combination (inhibitory small winning) is simultaneously won, and one of a plurality of Koboshi eyes (a missing symbol of the bell small winning combination) is displayed. It is a small winning role that has some time. Since this pushing order small winning combination is won by 3 × 2, it can be said that it is a 6-selected small winning combination (1/6 winning small winning combination).

  In the pressing order bell 1 group, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the pressing order of the left stop button 10a. Since there are three types of push order bell 1 to push order bell 1-1 to push order bell 1-3 in the push order bell 1 group, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol) so as not to miss a single winning combination. In addition, the stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol. The push order bell 1 is a push order small role of a double push order type, the first small role (Bell small role: FRU1) with the largest payout for the purpose of winning, and the purpose of obstructing the winning of the first small role. , A plurality of types of second small roles (in this case, six types of single small roles (FRU18, FRU22, FRU15, FRU19, FRU20: replay-red 7-blue 7,..., Replay) -Ball 2-blue 7) and third small role (FRU4: one of (Cherry / watermelon 2) on the left drum, bell on the middle drum, (watermelon on the right drum) (Small win that can be won in any of the four types of symbol combination display of / ball 2) wins at the same time (see push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 59). In the case of a correct answer, one of the symbols stops and 2 of the 6 second small roles There is a possibility that only the second small win will win. The third small win will always win if the first stop operation is correct and the second stop operation is incorrect. The first small role is also referred to as a specific small role, a purpose small role, a winning purpose small role, or the like.

  In the pressing order bell 2 group, the first stop operation which is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the pressing order of the right stop button 10c. Since there are three types of push order bell group 2 from push order bell 2-1 to push order bell 2-3, similarly to push order bell 1, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol so as not to miss one winning combination. The push order bell 2-1 changes the stop control (correct answer order) by the FUR 12 further winning the push order bell 1-1. Hereinafter, the same description as that of the pushing order bell 1 is referred.

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

  In the pressing order bell 4 group, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the pressing order of the middle stop button 10b. Since there are three types of push order bell 4 groups from push order bell 4-1 to push order bell 4-3, similarly to push order bell 1 group, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). Therefore, the stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol so as not to miss one winning combination. The push order bell 4-1 changes the stop control (correct answer order) by the FUR 12 further winning the push order bell 3-1. Hereinafter, the same description as that of the pushing order bell 1 is referred.

  In the pressing order bell group 5, the first stop operation which is the correct answer is the left stop button 10a, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the pressing order of the middle stop button 10b. Since there are three types of the push order bell 5 group from the push order bell 5-1 to the push order bell 5-3, similarly to the push order bell 1, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol so as not to miss one winning combination. The first small win (bell small win) for the purpose of winning a prize and having the largest payout is FRU2, and the bell symbol is displayed straight down to the right, so there is no sense of incompatibility. Hereinafter, the same description as that of the push order bell 1 group is referred.

  In the pressing order bell 6 group, the first stop operation which is the correct answer is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the pressing order of the middle stop button 10b. Since there are three types of push order bell 4 groups from push order bell 4-1 to push order bell 4-3, similarly to push order bell 1 group, the player looks at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). Therefore, the stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol so as not to miss one winning combination. The push order bell 4-1 changes the stop control (correct answer order) by the FUR 12 further winning the push order bell 3-1. Hereinafter, the same description as that of the pushing order bell 1 is referred. Note that, when the push order small win is won, the bell small win is won according to the operation order and the operation timing, the obstruction small win is won, and the pushing order bell is displayed in the same manner as the stop control described in the first embodiment. Since the principle is the same, the description of FIGS.

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

  RT0 in the figure is an initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination (replaying combination) does not fluctuate. The general game starts. The winning probability (replay probability) of replay in a general game is about 1 / 7.3, and in particular, RT1 transition replay (replay 1), RT2 transition replay (replay 2) and RT3 transition replay (replay 3) are all Since no win is made, in order to shift from this state to RT1, the above-mentioned small push-order combination must be displayed on the activated line.

  In the general game in the RT0 state, if the small pressing order is internally won and the stop operation order of the stop button 10 is incorrectly displayed, so that the Koboshi pattern is displayed on the activated line, the next game enters the RT1 state (continuous game). The number is undefined, that is, infinite). The replay probability in the RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, and most of the winning combinations shown in FIG. 58 are randomly selected, so that it is possible to win either alone or simultaneously. In other words, the game in the initial state and the game in the RT1 state are game states of about 1 / 7.3 with substantially the same replay probability, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is in the RT1 state.

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

  The RT1 transition replay (replay 1) is a function for quickly dropping to the RT1 state if the player accidentally presses the stop button unit 10 and the RT2 transition replay is activated. , The same function as that of the order Koboshi) (falling replay).

  When the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won and activated in the RT2 state, the replay probability is set to about the same RT3 state of about 1/2. The RT3 state is different in that the type of the replay combination to be won in the RT2 state and the size of the winning area are different. The loss probability in the RT3 state is 1/6 (16.7%), the same as in the RT2 state. Note that no actual bonus (1 type BB, 2 types BB, RB) is mounted.

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

  The main control unit 100 controls the payout performance, determines all game states shown in FIG. 62, and sends information (game state information) indicating which game state is currently present to the sub control unit 160. Notifying. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 controls the effects (liquid crystal, various lamps, accessories, etc.) and executes various effects based on the game state information received from the main control unit 100.

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

  In the normal stage, one cycle elapses when each stage of the normal stage A to the normal stage D and the high-accuracy stage is digested and shifted to the next stage. For example, when the normal stage A is completely digested (finished) and the condition for shifting to the high-precision stage is satisfied, one cycle is performed. The stage before the transition and the destination stage are never the same, and when transitioning from the ART state to the non-ART state, there is no transition to the high-accuracy stage.

  In the normal stage A, the game ends in 32 games and 2 to 6 consecutive effects, and if a point equal to or more than a threshold is obtained, a pseudo bonus is won. In the normal stage B, the game ends in 20 to 40 games, and an ART lottery is performed in the successive establishment of small wins. In the normal stage C, the game ends in 24 games to 48 games, an ART lottery is performed at the start stage, and an ART rewriting lottery is performed according to the winning combination in the stage. In the normal stage D, the game ends in 35 games to 50 games, an ART lottery is performed at the start stage, and an ART rewriting lottery is performed according to the winning combination in the stage. In the high-accuracy stage, the game ends in 10 to 15 games, and an ART lottery is performed at the start stage, and an ART rewrite lottery is performed according to the winning combination in the stage. Blue BB and red BB have more than 50 games, and RB has more than 25 games guaranteed.

  The main control unit 100 performs three lotteries when the setting is changed. First, the stay stage is extracted, and one of the normal stages A to D is determined with the same probability of 25%, but the high-accuracy stage is not selected. The reason is that if a high-precision stage is provided in the morning, it is assumed that the player only checks the liquid crystal display device for the high-precision stage and does not actually play the game. Next, the main control unit 100 performs a shift point extraction. The shift point is a point for shifting to the high-accuracy stage, and if it is equal to or more than a threshold value (for example, 10 points), the condition for shifting to the high-accuracy stage is satisfied. In the transfer point drawing, MAX 20 points may be won. However, even if the transfer condition is satisfied after the setting is changed, the transfer to the high-accuracy stage is not performed, and the next stage is the high-accuracy stage. Then, the main control unit 100 performs the ceiling number extraction to determine the ceiling cycle number. If the player reaches the ceiling after playing a plurality of games, the main control unit 100 rewrites to ART winning if the ART is not won at the end of the cycle.

  FIGS. 64 to 67 show various drawing tables and data.

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

  Stage transition rule: The main control unit 100 obtains the game according to the winning role using the obtained point table (see FIG. 64A) during the game of each of the normal stage A to the normal stage D and the high-precision stage. Determine the points. The winning points are 1 point for weak cherry, 3 points for strong cherry, 1 point for weak watermelon, 3 points for strong watermelon, 1 point for SB1, 1 point for SB2 Three points are predetermined. At the end of the normal stage A, the main control unit 100 compares the total acquired points, which is the sum of the acquired points, with the threshold, and determines which point lottery table to select. The threshold corresponding to the normal stage A is 5 points, and the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the total acquired points is equal to or more than the threshold. The table A is selected, and the occurrence point in the current normal stage A is determined by lottery. On the other hand, if the selection condition is satisfied, the point lottery table B having the higher expected value of the transition point is selected, and the occurrence point in the current normal stage A is determined by the lottery. The main control unit 100 adds this occurrence point to the current transition point and carries over to the next stage. For example, if the current transition point is 3 and the occurrence point is 8 points, the transition point is 11 points, which satisfies the transition condition of a threshold (10 points) or more. The threshold value (10 points) is subtracted from the 11 transition points, and the new transition point is set to 1. This transition point is carried over to the next high-precision stage. However, if the occurrence point is 2 points, the transition point is 5 points, and the transition condition is not satisfied. Therefore, the next stage is determined from the normal stages B to D other than the current normal stage A, and the current stage is determined. Carry 5 transfer points to the next stage. Since the normal stage A has been completed, the main control unit 100 subtracts 1 from 16 of the number of ceiling cycles and sets the remaining 15 cycles as the ceiling cycle.

  Stage shift lottery: In the conventional method, any one of the three destination stages, the normal stage B to the normal stage D, is shifted to the current stay stage (normal stage A) with the same probability of 1/3. In order to determine, it was necessary to create a transfer destination lottery table shown in FIG. 65 (A) and store it as a plurality of data. As a result, the storage capacity of the ROM 101 was pressed down, so the following new measures were taken.

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

  In the stay stage drawing at the time of setting change, the main control unit 100 determines any of the stage values 0 to 3 with a probability of 25% by random number drawing. If the stage value is 0, the main control unit 100 sets 0 bit to 1, so that the stay stage is the normal stage D. Similarly, if the stage value is 1, 1 bit is set to 1, and the staying stage is set to the normal stage C. If the stage value is 2, 2 bits are set to 1 and the staying stage is set to the normal stage B. If the stage value is 3, 3 bits are set to 1 and the staying stage is set to the normal stage A (see FIG. 65 (B)).

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

  Details of the normal stage: In the normal stage A, a battle effect (continuous effect) of 32 games (the specified number of games) and 2 to 6 games for notifying the game result is performed. When the main control unit 100 shifts to the normal stage A, the main control unit 100 determines a clear point serving as a threshold value for ART, and determines the acquired points by lot according to the winning combination. The main control unit 100 adds the acquired points to the total points, determines whether or not the clear point has been reached, and when the clear point has been reached, determines that the ART has been won. The main control unit 100 transmits the acquired points and the total points for each game to the sub control unit 160, and the sub control unit 160 changes the point gauge of the display effect device 11 by 1 every time the total points are accumulated by 10 points. One. That is, there are 10 point gauges, and when the total points are 10 points, one square is lit, and when all 10 squares are lit at 100 points, the ART winning is determined. The main control unit 100 adds 70 points (predetermined points) when the total points are 9 points or less when 32 games (the specified number of games) have been consumed. For example, if the total points are 9 points at the end of 32 games, the points are changed to 79 points. That is, if the point gauge of the display effect device 11 is not turned on at all, it is advantageous for the player. When the winning combination is the pushing small portion, the main control unit 100 executes the extraction of the acquired points when the operation order is correct and the bell small portion wins, but if the bell small portion does not win, the acquired points are extracted. Do not draw. However, if the pushing order small wins in the last game of the continuous production, the acquired points are extracted.

  In the normal stage B, the main control unit 100 determines the value of the game number counter B (the number of staying games: 20 to 40 games), and, during the number of staying games, the total points of the small wins which are continued until the player loses the game. In accordance with the above, whether or not the ART is successful is extracted, and when the ART is successful, "1" is added to the ART stock number. As shown in FIG. 66 (A), the acquired points are determined in advance according to the winning combination. However, if the winning combination is a push order bell (push order small role), if the operation order is correct and the bell small role wins, one point will be earned points, but if the bell small role does not win, the earned points will be Becomes 0. However, if the push order small win is awarded in the final game of the normal stage B, the acquired point is set to one point regardless of the win of the bell small win. In addition, you may determine an acquisition point in the lottery table of the expected value according to the winning combination.

  The main control unit 100 subtracts 1 from the value of the game number counter B every time one game of the stage game is played, and stays at the stage until the game number counter B becomes 0. In FIG. 66 (B), the first game is lost, and the bell is pressed in the second game, and the small bell is awarded, so that one point is obtained. Normal replay was won in the third game, but this was equivalent to a losing. The consecutive points earned was one point, and a winning lottery was performed using the table 1 corresponding to this one point. ). Similarly, table 2 corresponding to 2 points, table 3 corresponding to 3 points,... Table (N-1) corresponding to (N-1) points, (the winning lottery is performed using table N corresponding to N points) (Table N has a winning probability of 100%.) The game was lost in the fourth game, and the points gained were 0, the middle cherries hit in the fifth game, so the points gained were 10 points, and the strong watermelon hit in the sixth game. With 4 points, consecutive points will be added to 16. The SB2 was hit in the seventh game, so the points will be 3 points, the consecutive points will be added to 19 points, and since the eighth game is lost, 19 points will be lost. A winning lottery is performed using a pouring table (super-accurate or 99% or the like) corresponding to the point (see FIG. 66 (C)). When the game is won, 100 is added to the ART stock number.When the game number counter B becomes 0, the main control unit 100 performs a continuous effect game number lottery, and in the final game of the continuous effect, If the number of ART stocks is 1 or more, the process shifts to the pseudo bonus standby. On the other hand, if the ART stock is not won, the process shifts to the remaining four stages (normal stage A, normal stage C, normal stage D, or high-accuracy stage) in the non-ART state. Let it.

  In the normal stage C, the main control unit 100 extracts the presence / absence of ART at the start of the stage, and if it does, adds “1” to the ART stock number. In addition, the main control unit 100 extracts the number of games to be performed when the stage shifts to this stage, and notifies the success or failure (ART winning or non-winning) of the final game in the production section. In the game during the normal stage C, the main control unit 100 executes a rewrite lottery in accordance with the winning combination (role lottery result) on condition that the ART stock number is 0, and when the game is won, the ART stock number becomes “1”. Is added. In the final game of the normal stage C, the main control unit 100 shifts to the pseudo bonus standby if the number of ART stocks is 1 or more, while if the non-winning, the remaining four stages in the non-ART state (normal stage A , Normal stage B, normal stage D or high-precision stage).

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

  High-accuracy stage: At the end of each of the normal stages A to D, if the ART is not won and the transition point satisfies the transition condition that the transition point is equal to or greater than the threshold (10 points), the main control unit 100 determines the next stage with high accuracy. Decide on the stage. When the main control unit 100 shifts to the high-precision stage, the clear point (CPt) is determined by lottery using the clear point lottery table and transmitted to the sub control unit 160. This CPt is one of 1000 Pt, 500 Pt, 200 Pt, and 100 Pt. The high-accuracy stage is fixed at 11 games, but the reverse drawing is executed at the start of the high-accuracy stage, and in the case of a win, the high-accuracy stage is set to 12 games, and a reverse effect is performed on the 12th game. The main control unit 100 adds “1” to the number of stocks when the number of stocks is “0” at the stage when 11 games have been consumed in the high-accuracy stage. In other words, the reverse flag is set in the case of the winning by the reverse drawing, and if the number of stocks is "0" at the time when the eleventh game is completed, the next game is executed to perform the reverse effect. Therefore, if the player clears the game within 11 games, the reversal flag that stood at 1 is rewritten to 0, and the setting to enable transition is canceled.

  The main control unit 100 subtracts the acquired points from the CPt in the first to eleventh games of the high-accuracy stage, and when the remaining CPt becomes 0, the stage is cleared and “1” is added to the stock number. The acquired points in each game of the high-accuracy stage determine the first place (Pt1) of the acquired points using a predetermined lottery table without depending on the winning combination, and, in accordance with the winning combination, The tens place (Pt10) of the acquired points is determined. As a result, the points acquired in the game are (Pt10 × 10 + Pt1). The main control unit 100 transmits the acquired points to the sub control unit 160, and if the game number counter is 0 and the ART stock number is 1 or more, the main control unit 100 shifts to the pseudo bonus standby. A transition is made to the remaining four stages (normal stage A, normal stage B, normal stage C or normal stage D) in the non-ART state. As in the case of the setting change, even if the transition point is 10 points or more at the end of the high accuracy stage, any one of the normal stage A to the normal stage D is selected. It is not a stage. Note that the acquired points are composed of a tens place and a one place place, but may be a hexadecimal number (h: hexadecimal), for example, in this case, a higher order such as 1Ah or FFh. , And a combination of lower values.

  The sub control unit 160 uses the display effect device 11 to perform a boring effect that imitates one enemy into a single bowling pin based on various information (including the CPt information and the acquired point information) received from the main control unit 100. indicate. For example, if the received CPt is 1000 Pt, “defeat 1000 enemies” is displayed on the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 67A). If the CPt of the first game in the high-accuracy stage received from the main control unit 100 is 28 points, the sub-control unit 160 multiplies the CPt by 10 to obtain 280 points in order to exert a powerful effect on the production. Generate double points. FIG. 67 (B) shows an adjustment point table, in which adjustment point tables 1 to N exist. Each point of the first game to the eleventh game in the adjustment point table is an adjustment point, and is added to the tenfold point of each game. For example, if the adjustment point table 1 is selected and the tenth point of the sixth game is 120 points, nine points (adjustment points) are added to become 129 points, and the tenth point of the seventh game is 90 points. For example, (-6) points (adjustment points) are added to be 84 points (or 6 points are subtracted). Since the values of the points of the first game to the eleventh game in the adjustment point table 1 to the adjustment point table N are assigned to be 0, the actual remaining points are displayed when the game reaches the eleventh game. It will be. This adjustment point is a single digit value from -9 to +9 (including 0).

  It is assumed that the sub control unit 160 selects the adjustment point table 1 to the adjustment point table N by lottery and, for example, selects the adjustment point table 2. Assuming that the CPt of the first game of the high-precision stage received from the main control unit 100 is 28 points, the sub-control unit 160 multiplies the CPt by 10 and 280 points to give the impression to the effect. The display points are set to 276 points by adding the adjustment points (−4) points of the first game. Based on this display point, the sub control unit 160 displays 276 enemies as being destroyed (see FIG. 67C), and finally displays 724 as the remaining enemies, and executes the next second game to 11 in the 11th game. A display effect is made in the same manner as in the game, and when there are no remaining bodies, the player wins. If the CPt is displayed only by multiplying it by ten, the place of one will always be 0, so the player feels uncomfortable, but by adjusting the adjustment point in this way, the effect has a wide range of effects and it is powerful without discomfort A unique effect of being able to produce

  When shifting to the pseudo bonus standby state, the main control unit 100 determines the type of the pseudo bonus (red 7BB, blue 7BB, RB) and performs an additional drawing of the number of stocks according to the winning combination. By instructing the pressing order, the main control unit 100 changes the RT state from RT1 to RT2 and from RT2 to RT3 (see FIG. 62). The bonus waiting state is ended and a pseudo bonus is started. During the red 7BB and blue 7BB games, a battle game divided into enemy and ally is performed, and a general or enemy general 1 to enemy general 10 are played. In the case of blue 7BB, the hero (friend) fights against the general, and in the case of red 7BB, the hero (friend) fights against any one of enemy general 1 to enemy 10, but enemy general 1 to enemy 10 In this order, the reward when winning is reduced (strength: general> enemy general 1 ......> enemy general 10). At the start of red 7BB and blue 7BB, a lottery for subtracting the enemy's HP (hit point) is performed (initial subtraction lottery). In the case of red 7BB, one of enemy general 1 to enemy general 10 is selected.

  When determining the type of the pseudo bonus, the main control unit 100 adds or subtracts the RB bias point in order to minimize the occurrence of a case where the RB continues for a certain amount or more or is biased toward the RB. Is set to either red 7BB or blue 7BB, and RB is not selected. The RB bias point is an integer equal to or greater than 0, and adds “2” at the start of RB while subtracting “1” at the start of red 7BB or blue 7BB. If the RB deviation point is “5” or more when the pseudo bonus is shifted to the pseudo bonus standby state, the main control unit 100 executes a drawing in which only the next pseudo bonus is selected from either red 7BB or blue 7BB. This RB bias point is maintained even if the stage shifts to the normal stage after the end of the pseudo bonus, so if the current RB bias point is “5” or more, the next pseudo bonus will always be either red 7BB or blue 7BB. Become.

  The main control unit 100 adds or subtracts consecutive defeat points as a measure when the enemy general loses or loses in red 7BB or blue 7BB, and selects a weak enemy general as the next opponent when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Become like The continuous defeat point is an integer of 0 or more. When defeated by the enemy general, “2” is added, and when defeated by the enemy general, “1” is subtracted. When the consecutive defeat points are “5” or more and the next pseudo bonus is 7BB in red, the main control unit 100 selects the enemy general 10 who is most likely to defeat and initializes the consecutive defeat points to “0”.

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

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

  If the HP of the enemy general becomes “0” before the game number counter 1 becomes “0”, the main control unit 100 wins the battle (defeats the enemy general), so the game number counter 2 becomes “0”. And the stock bonus of the pseudo bonus is performed, and the number of the winning stock is added. Then, the main control unit 100 performs the stock winning / rejection drawing after winning according to the winning combination until the game number counter 1 becomes “0”, and when the game is won, adds 1 to the stock number.

  After the game number counter 1 becomes “0” and the enemy general's HP becomes “0” after the game number counter 1 becomes “0”, the battle victory is performed. Rewrite to counter 2. Then, a stock drawing of the pseudo bonus is performed, and the number of the winning stock is added. When the number counter value is 100 or more and the HP of the enemy general character is 1 or more, the main control unit 100 starts subtraction (calculation) of the game number counter 2. The main control unit 100 advances the pseudo bonus game and, when the game number counter 2 becomes “0”, ends the pseudo bonus game and shifts to the pseudo bonus notification (see FIG. 63). If the game counter 1 and the game counter 2 both become “0” in a state where the HP of the enemy general is “1” or more, the main control unit 100 ends the pseudo bonus game because the battle is lost, and the stock If there is, the process proceeds to the pseudo bonus standby, while if there is no stock, the process proceeds to the normal stage. When the game shifts to the pseudo bonus announcement of one game after the battle victory, the lottery of the number of stocks is performed according to the winning combination. The sub control unit 160 performs an additional announcement effect of the pseudo bonus, and the main control unit 100 thereafter shifts to a pseudo bonus standby.

  At the start of the RB game, the main control unit 100 determines the continuation rate by lottery, and uses the continuation rate (loop rate) to determine the number of games to stay by performing loop lottery. The number of staying games is the result of the loop drawing (an integer of at least 0) × 10 + 20, and at least 20 games are guaranteed. Then, the number of stay games is set in the game number counter 1. The main controller 100 subtracts 1 from the game number counter 1 every time the RB game progresses by one game. The main control unit 100 has a difference number counter value which is a difference between the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals in the RB game. When the game number counter 1 is “0” and the difference number counter value is less than 50, “10” is added to the number counter 1. As a result, an increase in medals of at least 50 or more is guaranteed in the RB game.

  In the RB game, the main control unit 100 draws the number of stocks in accordance with the winning combination, and in the event of winning, adds the number of winning stocks and sets the number of precursor games until the reel effect occurs. The main control unit 100 notifies the player of the pseudo-bonus winning by performing a reel freeze effect when the number of the precursor game is reached, and displaying the three BAR symbols in a straight line. When the game number counter 1 becomes “0”, the RB game is ended.

  When the pseudo bonus (red 7BB or blue 7BB, RB game) is finished, the main control unit 100 performs the stay stage extraction, and selects any one of the normal stages A to D with the same probability of 25%. Decided, but high-precision stage will not be selected. Next, the main control unit 100 performs an addition transfer point drawing, and adds the winning points to the transfer points being taken over. Then, the main control unit 100 performs the ceiling number extraction, determines the ceiling cycle number, and shifts to any of the normal stages.

Pseudo bonus waiting state:
The main control unit 100 keeps the external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) and the external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) of the external centralized terminal board 170 in the OFF state during the pseudo bonus standby (the state RT1 in FIG. 60). When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state, the sub controller 160 is notified of the operation order of the stop button unit 10. When operated correctly by the player, the operation symbol of the RT2 shift replay is displayed on the activated line, and the replay probability becomes the RT2 state in which the replay probability is increased to about 1/2. In addition, when the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won in the RT2 state, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub-control unit 160 of the operation order of the stop button unit 10. When operated correctly by the player, the operation symbol of the RT3 shift replay is displayed on the activated line, and the replay probability becomes the approximately same RT3 state of about 1/2.

  In the RT3 state, the main control unit 100 determines the pseudo BB or the pseudo RB to be released. In the case of the pseudo BB, seven red symbols or seven blue symbols (combinations of special symbols) are displayed in a straight line at the center. Waits for a bonus replay 1 or a bonus replay 2 (which can be stopped and displayed in a straight line) to be won. In the case of the pseudo RB, it waits for the bonus replay 3 in which (7 red symbols, 7 red symbols, and a BAR symbol: a combination of special symbols) are displayed in line with the center line to win. In this standby state (RT3 state), when a bonus replay combination (bonus replays 1 to 3) according to the determined bonus type is internally won, the main control unit 100 turns on the start flag. When the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo BB, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) after all the trunks have stopped. When the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is a pseudo RB, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) after all the trunks have stopped. On the other hand, when the external output signal 1 is in the ON state, the main control unit 100 sets the game state to the normal state or the pseudo bonus notification state to the OFF state. In addition, when the external output signal 2 is in the ON state, the main control unit 100 sets the gaming state to the normal state or the pseudo bonus notification state to the OFF state. The start flag is also referred to as a ready flag indicating that preparation for outputting an external output signal is completed (a flag indicating a ready state or a trigger flag which is a trigger for outputting a pseudo bonus signal).

  In the pseudo bonus standby state (RT1 state), the main control unit 100 sets the start flag to the ON state if the RT2 shift replay is internally won, the RT2 shift replay symbol is not displayed, and the shift to RT2 is not performed. When the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo BB, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) after all the trunks have stopped. When the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is a pseudo RB, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) after all the trunks have stopped.

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

  In the pseudo bonus standby state (the RT2 state or the RT3 state), the main control unit 100 internally wins the small pressing order (the pressing bell), and if the payout number is 0 (there is no medal payout). , The start flag is turned on. When the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is pseudo BB, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 1 (pseudo BB signal) after all the trunks have stopped. When the start flag is on and the type of bonus to be released is a pseudo RB, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 2 (pseudo RB signal) after all the trunks have stopped.
