Description

  The present invention provides a pachislot using medals and coins as a game medium, a pachilot using a pachinko ball as a game medium, and a substitute coin called electronic data or a token without using a game medium as an entity (game value, Or a gaming machine, such as a slot machine (rotary-type gaming machine) for playing a game according to a game value.

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

  In recent years, games using a spinning-type gaming machine called a pachislot machine have been actively performed in a conventional pachinko hall or a pachislot exclusive hall. There is also a spinning-type gaming machine called a pachinko-lot (or parrot) that performs the above-mentioned spinning-type game using a pachinko ball used in a pachinko machine (ball-and-ball game machine) as a game medium. In video game machines such as amusement facilities, and in personal computers and game machines of ordinary households via the Internet, a token-type coin (ie, "game media") is used to play a spinning game. Is being conducted in a simulation game. In the near future, it is planned that a spinning-type gaming machine will record game values such as electronic data and tokens equivalent to those on an IC card without using medals and coins, and use the game value in games. I have.

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

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

  By the way, the conventional spinning-type amusement machine (Unit 4) has relatively high gambling characteristics, and in order to suppress the gambling, the law on the regulation of customs business, etc. and the appropriateness of duties, etc. (Last revised: May, 1990) Law No. 55 of the Thirty-Sixth Day) was enforced, and it was applied to the latest spinning-type amusement machine called No. 5.

  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. That is, due to the rule amendment, the upper limit of the number of payouts in a single bonus game and the increasing speed of medals per game are limited to a low value.

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

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

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

Fist of the North Star-Fist of the North Star-Legend of the Savior at the End of the Century-(Sammy) Rotary-type gaming machine Midori Don VIVA! Passion South America (Eleco)

  By the way, as the original technology of ART newly 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 plurality of predetermined symbols (for example, a bell symbol or a cherry symbol) are provided. There is a method of winning on a line and stopping on a small number of lines due to an incorrect answer. Then, when the AT (assist function) is won, the operation procedure of the correct answer is notified to the player, and a large difference is made in the number of obtained medals. Further, a large number of medals can be obtained without reducing the number of medals in hand during RT (high-probability replaying state), thereby making it possible to create a wave of balls to improve gambling.

  Also, as an original technology developed by the applicant, during a freeze effect after a start operation, an effect is provided in which a replaying player is pseudo-continuously won by a stop button operation and an inserted number LED is turned on (patented). No. 5045860, Japanese Patent No. 5077902, Japanese Patent No. 5131669, Japanese Patent No. 5167476).

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

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

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

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

In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 is a gaming machine in which a predetermined number of game media are set and a game can be executed. A plurality of reels on which symbols are arranged, a role determining means for determining whether or not a plurality of types of roles including a small role, a replay role and a bonus role are determined by lottery, and rotating the plurality of reels for each game, and performing a stop operation. Reel control means for performing control to individually stop the corresponding rotating reels based on the reel combination, and a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern predetermined for each combination is displayed on the activated line while the plurality of reels are stopped. Winning determination means for determining that the winning combination is based on the winning combination; and, when the small winning role is won, awarded number determining means for determining the number of awarded game media based on the payout of the winning small winning portion; The replay role enters Replay processing means for performing the next game without the need for a game medium, game state transition means for transitioning the game state to the bonus state when the bonus combination is won, normal effect state and assist The control unit controls the production device to perform a prize assisting production effect that transitions the production state between a plurality of production states including the state and, if the production state is set to the assist state, performs a prize assisting production that assists the winning of the small role. Effect control means for performing the game, wherein the gaming state shifting means determines that the bonus combination is determined in the normal state, and when the bonus state is established, the winning probability of the replay combination is higher than in the normal state. In the normal state, the bonus established state, and the bonus state, the number of game media required for the game is set to be the same in the normal state, and the normal state is set. In the bonus established state, the combination determining means determines that a plurality of types of specific small combinations, which are small combinations in which the number of payouts of game media accompanying a prize is greater than the number of insertions, are won without overlapping each other. A lottery is performed so that a first winning mode exists, and in the first winning mode, the specific small role, a first inhibition small role for inhibiting winning of the specific small role, and a plurality of second inhibition small roles. Are simultaneously won, and in the bonus state, the combination determining means has a second winning mode in which the plurality of types of specific small wins are repeatedly won, and in the bonus state, a second winning mode is achieved by internal lottery. In the normal state and the bonus established state, the probability is lower than the probability of being one of the plurality of types of the first winning mode in the internal lottery, and the winning probability of some of the small wins is the normal state. And bo The lottery is higher than the eggplant established state, and the internal lottery is performed so that the winning probability of the small part other than the small part is the same as the normal state and the bonus established state. Includes at least one of the plurality of types of specific small wins, and in the bonus established state, the reel control means determines that the bonus wins when the bonus win and the replay wins together. When the replay combination wins in priority to the bonus combination and the small combination wins, the reel being rotated is stopped so that the small combination wins in priority to the bonus. The correct hitting order according to the type of the first winning mode is set in advance for each of the plurality of types of the first winning mode. Role If the winning order is different from the correct answer hitting order, the rotating reel is stopped so that the specific small winning combination does not win, and the effect control means, when the effecting state is set to the assist state, Based on the result of the lottery being any one of the plurality of types of first winning modes, the winning assisting effect notifies the correct hitting order according to the type of the first winning mode, and the reel control unit performs When the stop operation is in the correct hitting order, while the specific small combination and the first inhibition small combination can be won, the rotating reel is stopped so that none of the second inhibition small combination is won. In the case where the first stop operation is different from the correct batting order, one of the second inhibition small wins can be won, while the rotation is performed so that neither the specific small win nor the first inhibition small wins. Stop the reel and move the reel The control means, after the first stop operation, in a state where the specific small combination and the first obstruction small combination can be won, and if the next stop operation is in the correct hitting order, only the specific small combination is won. In the case where the specific stop is awarded in the final stop operation, if the next stop operation is in the order of incorrect answering, only the first obstruction minor can be awarded and the final stop operation causes the first impairment to be won. The spinning reel is stopped so as to win the small role, and the reel control means performs the next stop operation in a state where any of the second obstruction small roles can win after the first stop operation. When the final stop operation is performed, the reel being rotated is stopped so as to win any one of the second obstruction small wins or to miss all the second obstruction small wins, and returns to the normal state. The probability that the replay combination is determined by It is characterized by a higher probability that a replay combination is determined in a state.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, first, when the player has settled the credit, if the re-game player has won, a warning is notified, so the player misses the re-game winning. Nothing.

  Secondly, according to the gaming machine of the present invention, in the RT state in which the bonus combination is internally won, a target small combination with a large number of payouts can be frequently won without losing. As a result, it is possible to increase the net increase per game. Note that the same effect can be obtained even if the loss is reduced as much as possible. In addition, it is possible to increase the number of times the assist function is activated at a stretch.

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

  The pushing sequence is a role in which the winning purpose role and the obstructing role are simultaneously won, and the obstructing role is composed of one or more types. The prize-winning role wins when the stop button is operated in the prize-press order informed by the notification means, while when the stop button is operated in an operation order different from the prize-press order, the obstructing role wins or what. Does not win. In other words, the inhibiting role is a role for inhibiting the winning of the winning purpose role. For example, in the case of the push order bell role, three types of the bell small role (15 payouts) of the winning purpose role, the one small role of the first obstruction small role (1 payout), and the two small small roles of the second obstruction small role When five of the roles are internally won at the same time, and the stop button is operated in the winning order, the bell symbol is stopped by stopping the bell symbol on the activated line. On the other hand, if the first stop operation is not in the winning push order, the symbol of the first obstruction small win is stopped on the activated line, and thereafter, any one of the first obstruction wins wins or the non-win win (misses). Become. If the first stop operation is in the prize-winning order and the second stop operation is not in the prize-winning order, the symbol of the second inhibition small combination is stopped on the activated line, and thereafter, the second inhibition small combination wins. In addition, the payout of the second inhibition small combination may be set to one, or may be omitted. Another pushing sequence is a pushing sequence replay role.

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

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

  Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of a spinning-type gaming machine generally called a "pachi-slot machine", which is roughly divided into a housing 1a containing a rotating drum (drum section 2) and a front door 1b (particularly, see FIG. 2). .

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

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

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

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

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

  Reference numeral 2 denotes a drum unit (reel drum) incorporated in the housing 1a, which is composed of three drums, a left drum 2a, a middle drum 2b, and a right drum 2c. Inside each of the drums is provided a rotating body design display LED (not shown), which emits light (lights or blinks) or turns off according to various effects. That is, each drum is a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are displayed in one row from top to bottom. In this case, a variable display game in which three symbol rows (multiple rows) are varied is started. Note that displaying symbols using a liquid crystal display device or the like instead of each drum also corresponds to a variable display game in which a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are drawn is varied.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes a window provided in the center of the front of the design panel 22, and a symbol on a reel tape attached (arranged or applied) to the outer periphery of the drum 2 can be viewed through the transparent panel 21. It has become. The window 3 has a total of five effective lines, that is, three effective lines extending in the lateral direction and two effective lines obliquely intersecting the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2b and the right drum 2b. It is displayed prominently by the line connecting the drums 2c. However, the effective line is not limited to the horizontal direction or the oblique direction, or the number of lines, and is determined as appropriate at the design stage, such as a V-shape or a small mountain shape. In addition, a turn body line display LED is embedded below the activated line, and is turned on or blinked at the time of winning or operation.

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

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a medal insertion unit, which is a game medal for starting a variable display game for rotating and stopping the drum unit 2 (rotary drum) (a game medium, which may be referred to as a “coin” or simply “medal”). There is a medal insertion slot for inserting. Note that a left light transmitting portion 5a and a right light transmitting portion 5b are provided on both sides of the medal insertion portion 5, and the medals are formed by light from a plurality of light sources (for example, LEDs) attached to the lower left and right. When the coins cannot be inserted, the color is red (first color). On the other hand, when the medals can be inserted and added and displayed for a game, the color is blue (second color). When the medals are added and displayed on the medal storage device, the color is green. (Third color). However, if medals cannot be inserted, the lights may be turned off. In the game software, the game medium is data (eg, the number of inserted medals, credit numerical data, or tokens) representing a game medal or a game coin, and an actual game medal or game coin is inserted from the medal insertion unit 5. It is not something to be done.

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

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

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

  A maximum bet button 8 is a maximum bet number (1 coin) defined according to a game state such as when a maximum number of three stored medals of the medal storage device are inserted for playing a game or a bonus game. Or 2 sheets: optimal number). Note that an LED is provided inside the max bet button 3, and is turned on when the max bet button 3 is operable.

  Reference numeral 9 denotes a start lever (a part of the rotating body rotation starter), which is used when the drum unit 2 is started all at once after a predetermined number of game medals necessary for playing a game are inserted. An LED is provided around the start lever 9, and is lit when the start operation is possible. When setting the payout rate in steps, the start lever 9 selects a desired set value selected from step values 1 to 6 (or 4-step jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and the like). Use this when confirming (when retyping).

  Reference numeral 10 denotes a stop button unit (also referred to as a “stop switch” as a synonymous name), which is used to stop the rotating drum unit 2. The stop button unit 10 is constituted by three button groups (note that there are rarely four cases) of a left stop button 10a, a middle stop button 10b, and a right stop button 10c, and the drum unit 2 stops while the drum unit 2 is rotating. By operating the button unit 10, the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c corresponding to each button can be stopped.

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

  The control circuit system is roughly divided into a main block (main board: a portion not surrounded by a broken line) and a sub block (sub board: a portion surrounded by a broken line), whereas the main block 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. When the ART is activated, the sub-block notifies the stop operation procedure (operation sequence and operation timing of the stop button unit 10) for avoiding the small winning combination or the fall replay.

  Reference numeral 100 denotes a main control unit, which is an integrated one-chip microcomputer (LE4380A-PA-S manufactured by ELTEC) equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU, which 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. )). As will be described later, even if the power switch 28c is turned off or the power cord is unplugged, the RAM 102 retains all control data to be stored by a RAM backup power supply that is always supplied via a power connector. However, if the power connector itself is unplugged, power is not supplied, so the control data is erased (all clear or reset to 0) or meaningless information.

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

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

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

  The main control unit 100 extracts one of the random numbers (values from 0 to 65535) continuously generated by the built-in random number generation unit 103 in accordance with the operation of the start lever 9 by the player, thereby obtaining the internal A lottery is executed, and 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, when any of the small winning combinations such as bells, cherries, watermelons or plums is internally won in the random number lottery and the player performs a stop operation of the stop button unit 10, the main control unit 100 follows the operation order. The drum unit 2 is sequentially stopped at a predetermined position. As a result, if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on any of the five effective lines of the window 3, a winning is achieved. However, the number of activated lines is not limited to five, and may be changed according to the number of inserted medals, or may be appropriately increased or decreased according to design specifications or a game state.

  For example, assuming that one game medium, two cherries, five watermelons, and eight plums are set as payout numbers of game media defined according to the types of winning, only bell symbols are displayed side by side on the second line. If so, the main control unit 100 pays out one copy as a bell prize. If the specified number of throws is three, even if the bell wins, the deduction will be minus two, so in the state where the bonus role and the small role have been internally won at the same time, give priority to the small role symbol during the internal win Even when stopped on the activated line, medals can be consumed. On the other hand, if the bell symbol is displayed side by side on the second line and the plum symbol is displayed on the third line, the main control unit 100 pays out one prize bell and eight plums and pays out nine cards. 6 plus payouts.

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

  The main control unit 100 provides the sub control unit 160 with control data (for example, coin insertion data, lottery result and winning status data, stage setting value data, and stage operation value of the stage setting unit 150) necessary for various control of the sub-block. Output to the sub-control unit 160. Like the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 is an integrated one-chip microcomputer equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU. The sub-control unit 160 includes a ROM 161 storing a control program describing a control procedure of the entire sub-block, A RAM 162 and the like, which are formed with a counter, a timer, a register, and the like, and temporarily store information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100, are provided. 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 also possible to use one control unit.

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

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

  In this AT stock lottery, for example, the number of stocks is selected in a range of 0 to 127, and 0 is a loss, while 1 to 127 is a winning. If 127 is won, at least 127 consecutive chans will be determined. However, since the AT stock lottery is executed even when the AT is stocked, it is further added and added, and it is possible to store up to MAX10000. However, these are merely examples based on design specifications, and are not limited to these numerical values.

  Further, the sub-control unit 160 confirms whether or not to execute the selection game, and when the player repeatedly hits the special button, receives a pulse signal corresponding to the number of times the special button is hit, and the number of pulses is equal to or more than a predetermined number of 8 times. Is reached, a selection game lottery is performed to determine a winning number (for example, “0” or “1”). Then, when the selection game is activated, “○ or ×” or “left or right” is displayed on the display effect device 11 in association with the left stop button 10a and the right stop button 10c, respectively, and the selection operation is performed by the player. Prompt. For example, when "0" is won in the selected game lottery result, if the player operates the left stop button 10a and selects the corresponding "o" or "left", the selected game is won. When the sub control unit 160 determines that the winning has been won, in the subsequent variable display game, until the number of game media in accordance with the number of inserted cards, the difference number, or the number of times of the variable display game increases, or the AT stock lottery (1 to 127) The AT function (a function of notifying auxiliary information by the notifying means) is activated by the number of times of winning.

  On the other hand, if the player operates the right stop button 10c and selects the corresponding “x” or “right”, the selected game is lost. Then, if the sub control unit 160 determines that the game has been lost, it initializes the difference number or the number of variable display games without activating the AT function, and returns to the start. As a result, even if the player is in a hungry state, if he wins in the selection game, he or she can recover more than he or she lost, or play Dalian, and can expect a one-shot reversal. In the above description, the winning is doubled as two choices. However, for example, in the case of five choices, it can be returned five times when winning, and if the player can select the magnification, further preference is given. Increase.

  When the main control unit 100 internally executes a random number lottery with the start operation of the start lever 9 and receives a result notification of a jackpot, a replay, a small role, or a loss, the sub control unit 160 gives the player a lottery result. Before the notification is made, an effect lottery is performed to determine whether or not to effect the effect on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. When the sub-control unit 160 wins in the effect lottery, it selects an effect image to be displayed from the plurality of effect images stored in the ROM 161 and outputs the selected effect image to the display effect device 11.

  In particular, as described later, the sub-control unit 160 determines that the AT stock exists and that the push order small combination (a plurality of partials in the first small combination and the plurality of 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.

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

  The operation direction sensor 111 outputs direction signals corresponding to the up, down, left, and right directions in which the start lever 9 is operated, and the sub control unit 160 receives this direction signal and performs various video effects and winning announcements according to the direction signal. Are displayed on the display effect device 11, and further, a sound effect is generated from the speaker unit 12.

  The special button sensor 112 outputs an ON signal (for example, a HIGH signal) when the special button 14 is operated, and outputs an OFF signal (for example, a LOW signal) when the special button 14 is released, and the sub control unit 160 receives this ON signal. In accordance with the timing and the number of times the pulse is received (referred to as a continuous hit), various games and their video effects, winning announcements, and the like are displayed on the display effect device 11. Further, sound effects such as bomb drop and machine gun operation are generated from the speaker unit 12.

  The door abnormality signal output device 113 is a device that detects the open / closed state of the door and outputs a control signal to the sub-control unit 160. When the main power is ON, the ON / OFF signal is output 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 according to an operation of the 1-bet button 7, and a max-bet button detection sensor 140b that outputs a pulse signal according to an operation of the max bet button 8. The main control unit 100 is separately connected to two ports (not shown in detail). The main control 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 operates the start lever 9 after inserting a predetermined number of medals, the start SW sensor 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 100 performs random number lottery or the like upon receiving the start signal. A driving pulse signal is output to the drum unit 2 at the same time that the variable display game is started. Note that the game performed by one operation of the start lever 9 is a variable display game of one game, and the player aims to acquire a bonus game (big bonus or regular bonus) and increase medals. Repeat the game. The bonus game means, for example, a first-class special role (RB), a first-class special role continuous operation, or a second-class special role continuous operation.

  Then, when the stop buttons 10a, 10b, and 10c are operated during the variable display game, the main control unit 100 stops the rotation of the rotating drum, and a predetermined winning combination is established (the symbol of each rotating drum is determined in advance). When a predetermined combination is displayed, a prize is won.) When paying out a medal, the payout number is displayed on a medal payout number display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and this is added to the credit amount and the medal is displayed. The stored number display LED 4b is displayed. When a payout operation is performed by the 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, so that the hall side can set a stage value according to a large amount of medals released at an event or a newly refurbished opening or a collection state for improving profitability. A desired setting value can be selected from 1 to 6 (or jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.).

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

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

  Reference numeral 26 denotes a timer unit which receives absolute time data from a satellite or the like and includes a radio clock which keeps accurate time, and keeps outputting the measured time to the sub-control unit 160.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a control circuit system for controlling the drum unit.

  The drum unit 2 includes step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c for controlling rotation of three drums, a left drum 2a, a middle drum 2b, and a right drum 2c, and responds to a drive pulse signal from the main control unit 100. When each of the stepping motors 30a, 30b and 30c is driven and the drive pulse signals are continuously supplied to the three phases at the same time, a suction force is generated and the motor stops suddenly.

  The stepping motors 30a, 30b and 30c are of the 4-phase 1-2 excitation type and have 252 steps / rotation (1.43 degrees / step). Make one rotation. The main control unit 100 returns one 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. Position can be accurately grasped. That is, the resolution by one input pulse is 0.714 (degree / pulse). When the resolution is further increased, the rotation position can be grasped in detail by managing the time from the input pulse to the next input pulse and the rotation speed.

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

  The 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). On the outer periphery of each drum, a left body band 32a, a middle body band 32b, and a right body band 32c, on which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn, are attached. If a given symbol is displayed on the window 3 side by side on the pay line, it is established (win or operation). 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. Symbols are commonly 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. 8 is a symbol arrangement table of the drum.

  On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a 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" and "Blue 7" which activate the bonus, and the cherry of various small role winning symbols. , A watermelon, a bell, and a replay that activates the replay are depicted. It should be noted that the discarded symbol does not constitute any role even if stopped on the activated line, and "N" is printed in a circle in light gray, for example, so as to be inconspicuous to the player.

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

  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 in which the symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the lower right effective line of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b where the big bonus role is internally won and stopped, and four frames above the effective line When the symbol "7" is positioned within the frame (that is, when the symbol is positioned within five frames including the symbol on the activated line), when the right stop button 10c is operated to stop (see FIG. 9A), the main The control unit 100 performs a pull-in control for forcibly drawing 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. 9B).

  On the other hand, even if one of the winning combinations is internally won by a lottery, if the predetermined symbol corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed on the activated line, it is not in a state advantageous to the player. For example, the big bonus game (BB game) does not operate unless it is displayed as shown in FIG. 9 (B). The pull-in control is performed not only for the right drum 2c but also for any of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. The main control unit 100 performs stop control with reference to a stop table that defines a stop position of each drum according to a random number lottery state (internal winning or loss).

  In the example of FIG. 9, in the reach state, the symbol "7" of the right drum 2c is exactly four frames above, and is subject to pull-in control and is aligned on the activated line. 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. Assist information such as operation timing: AT) is notified.

  FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the drum unit. FIGS. 10A and 10B show the state in which the right drum 2c is controlled to avoid (or kick) by time series.

  The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the lottery result is lost and the 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 the reach state (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 internal winning of the big bonus role, 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 "eye pressing" (for example, it is called "biter pressing. A)), the main control unit 100 performs the avoidance control of moving the symbol "7" to the next position so that "7, 7, 7" is not aligned on the active line and forcibly causing a loss. FIG. 10B). The avoidance control is performed not only for the right drum 2c but also for any of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b, and the avoidance control is performed so that the unwinned small winning symbol does not win. It has become. The pull-in control and the avoidance control (kick-off control) are performed by the main control unit 100 referring to a stop table according to the internal winning situation or by control control by a program.

  FIG. 11 is a timing chart showing a relationship among an index signal, symbol position data (frame data), a drive pulse signal, and a stop button sensor signal.

  FIG. 11A shows an index signal output from each of the torso sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c. The main control is performed so that T1 is constant at 0.751 seconds (that is, 79.9 revolutions / minute). It is controlled by the unit 100.

  FIG. 11B shows the symbol position data of the rotating drum, and FIG. 11C shows the drive pulse signal.

  The symbol position data is generated by dividing the drive pulse signal, and the drive pulse signal is decremented by one for every 24 pulses. That is, based on the index signal, the symbol position data is "21" when the driving pulse signal is in 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. 11D shows a stop button sensor signal output when each stop button is operated. In this case, the main control unit 100 recognizes the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data “10” (or the pattern number “2”) at the time when the stop button sensor signal rises.

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

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

  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. 12B shows a range in which the pull-in control is possible. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position four frames above the position where the cherry symbol is 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.

  On the other hand, FIGS. 12C and 12D show a range in which the avoidance control and the like are performed. Even when the upper cherry is won, the main control unit 100 sets the cherry symbol to 4 degrees from the upper position. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position above the frame (that is, a position above 4 in FIG. 12A) or at a position slightly after the upper position, if the stop button 10a is operated one position higher or lower than 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. 13 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the left drum 2a, the window 3, and the symbol position data.

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

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

  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 payout at one time is fifteen.

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

  The display effect device 11 includes a command receiving unit 11a that receives an effect command from the sub-control unit 160, a display effect control unit 11b (including a ROM 11c and a RAM 11d), and a display panel 11e such as an LCD, an organic EL, and an LED. I have. In this case, 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. 16 is an effect pattern table, in which the relationship between the effect commands and the 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.

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

  When the sub-control unit 160 transmits, for example, ($ Z0 $ 00) as a production command, the display panel 11e displays the "daytime production pattern of the low-probability stage mainly showing a state where there is no AT stock or a state where it is difficult to win the AT". "0" is displayed (see FIG. 17A). On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ Y0 $ 00) as the production command, the display panel 11e displays the "night time" of the high probability stage indicating the state where the AT stock exists or the high probability state where the AT is easy to win. The effect pattern 0 is displayed (see FIG. 17B). Therefore, the player longs for the display of the “night production stage” mainly indicating the high probability state during the game. However, even if there is no AT stock or non-high-probability state, it is possible to display the “night production stage” in the case of the “night stage” and vice versa. Yes, it is designed to attract the interest of players.

  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. 17 (A)) or superimposed on the moonlit background screen (see FIG. 17 (B)), after which bats such as yellow, red or blue bats jump out of Dracula Castle. Then, a notification image corresponding to the established role (small role or replay) is displayed (see FIG. 17C).

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

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

  FIG. 20 is a conceptual diagram of a general lottery table.

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

  In the case of the spinning-type gaming machine of the present invention, the main control unit 100 generates a random value. This random number value is generated randomly all the time from 0 to 65535 (m7) only once in one cycle. FIG. 20A is a lottery table used in a normal state (non-RT state). When the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery in accordance with the timing at which the start lever 9 is operated, a random number value of 0 is set. If it is within the range of m1, the big bonus (BB) is won. That is, the internal lottery means that only one random number value is picked up (extracted) in accordance with a predetermined timing at the time of the start operation and is compared with a lottery table to determine a winning combination.

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

  Normally, these numerical values of m1 to m7 are appropriately set in consideration of laws and regulations (Winning Law) and game characteristics. In the case of an A-type normal machine, the BB winning probability is “1/200”. Degree, RB winning probability is about 1/400, cherry and watermelon winning probability is about 1/50, bell winning probability is about 1/6, and replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3. Has become.

  On the other hand, FIG. 20B is a lottery table used in the high-probability replaying 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. Therefore, 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 inserted medal is unnecessary.

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

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

  RB (regular bonus) is a role name when the RB symbol of “blue 7” is aligned on the activated line, and when the RB symbols are aligned, the number of medals acquired is 0, and a flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area to set a regular bonus. The game starts (RB game: operation of the continuous actuation device) and ends with payout exceeding 120 cards. 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.

  When the cherry symbol stops on the active line of the left drum, one medal is obtained for each active line. For example, if the active line is the display determination diagram of FIG. 14, one line (short piece) is stopped when stopping at the middle stage of the left drum. (Square Choi).

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

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

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

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

  First, in the state where the spinning-type gaming machine is shipped from the factory, the warning mode is “ON” as default, the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) is “OFF”, and the step setting value is the lowest “1”. Is set.

  When the game hall side opens the front door of the spinning-type gaming machine 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 playable state, even if the gaming hall side opens the front door 1b again and operates the input SW unit 25 (the operation of pressing the initialization switch and the volume switch simultaneously), the sub control unit 160 Since the control data indicating the payout rate step setting mode has not been received, the warning mode is not changed from the “ON state” to another state (“OFF state” or “timer state”). Therefore, there is a specific effect that a warning person cannot easily change the warning mode. Note that the stop setting flag “1” corresponds to the stop setting unit 180 being “ON”, and “0” corresponds to “OFF”.

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

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

  The employee of the gaming hall opens the front door of the spinning-type gaming machine main body 1, turns off the power switch 28c once, inserts the setting change key into the setting key switch 28a, turns it to the right, and turns it on (FIG. 4). When the power switch 28c is turned on again, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after 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, the game hall side inputs a step setting value "6" of the payout ratio before playing the player, hits the start lever 9 once to confirm the setting value, and presses the setting key switch 28a. When the main control unit 100 is turned off, the main control unit 100 returns to step S100, sets the set value to “6”, and performs necessary processing such as hardware initial check and initial setting again.

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

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

  When proceeding to step S160, the main control unit 100 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 the game. If not, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping through the steps until there is a start operation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a 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

  On each torso belt, 21 differently arranged symbols are drawn, and the symbols "pentagonal (red)", "pentagonal (blue)", and "pentagonal (white)", which are irregular but activate the bonus. , "Red 7", "Bell", "Square (red)", "Square (blue)", "Square (white)", and the replay of the symbol that activates the replay are drawn. Have been. Note that the three types of pentagonal symbols also serve as small role symbols.

  FIG. 24 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

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

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

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

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

  (1) Bonus role (RB: first-class special character): Any of (pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), pentagon (white)) on left drum 2a, (pentagon (red), One of the pentagons (blue) and pentagons (white), and the role name when any of ((pentagon (red), pentagon (blue), pentagon (white)) stops on the active line on the right drum 2c. After that, the regular bonus game is awarded after the number of acquired coins is 0. There are 27 kinds of combination symbols (3 × 3 × 3). Regardless of the timing, the symbols are arranged on any one of the activated lines so that the predetermined bonus combination symbol stops and the winning is always achieved. To exit, but There is no increase or decrease in medals because there are always 2 small wins and 2 small wins on the other hand, while the expected value of the increase or decrease in regular bonus games is set to 0, and the winning small wins are dropped. In the initial state (RT0 state: replay probability is about 1 / 7.3), the bonus role (RB) is internally won in the initial state (RT0 state: replay probability is about 1 / 7.3). When the (condition device is activated), the winning probability of replay changes from the next game to a high-probability replaying state (RT1 state: replay probability of about 1 / 1.8). Upon completion (operation completion), the replay winning probability fluctuates and returns to the initial state (RT0 state), that is, the player enters the RT0 state, the RT1 state, and the regular bonus game state. Will perform variable display game Re or gaming state. In this initial state, usually a general game during the game (see Figure 26).

  (2) Red 7 small role (FR1: 1st target small role): Role name when the red 7 design is on the left drum 2a, the bell design is on the middle drum 2b, and the bell design is on the effective line on the right drum 2c. And the acquired number (payout number) is 15. When the 7 small wins in the lottery are internally won, one condition device of FR1 (fruit 1) operates. Assuming that FR1 has only one combination symbol and has been internally won independently, the predetermined red 7 small role symbol is placed on any one of the activated lines, regardless of the stop operation sequence and timing of the stop button unit 10. The symbols are arranged so as to stop and always win. As described later, in the RT0 state or the RT1 state, the red 7 small combination has one small combination left 1 to 3 for pressing order control, one small combination 1 to 3 and one small combination right 1 to 1 3 will be won at the same time. It should be noted that the first target small winning combination is a small winning combination to be won, which is advantageous for the player.

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

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

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

  (5) One small hand left 2 (FR4): The one small hand left 1 is different from the left drum 2a only in that the design of the left drum 2a is changed to a square (blue) design.

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

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

  (8) One small win 2 (FR7): One small win 1 is obtained by changing the design of the middle drum 2b to a square (blue) design, and the other parts are the same, so that the description is omitted.

  (9) One small win 3 (FR8): One small win 1 is obtained by changing the pattern of the middle drum 2b to a square (white) pattern, and the other parts are the same, so that the description is omitted.

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

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

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

  (13) Replay (replay): This is a role name when three replay symbols are aligned on the activated line, a medal is not obtained for this, an RP flag is set in the flag area, and when this is independently won, Alternatively, the replay will always be activated even when another small role or bonus role is simultaneously won. The replay has only one combination symbol, and the player can operate the start lever 9 to perform the next game without inserting medals. It should be noted that even if the replay is activated, it does not trigger a change in RT (winning probability of replay).

  The present embodiment describes the basic configuration, and is not limited to the above-described winning combination, but may be, for example, a rare small combination such as cherry or watermelon, another special replay combination, or a red 7 replay combination that is won only during a bonus game ( It is also possible to provide an invalid horizontal line such as an upper horizontal line, a middle horizontal line, or a lower horizontal line (a replay role) in which the seven red symbols appear to be aligned. If these rare small wins are internally won, the ART is drawn by lot, or the ART is determined by the internally won red 7 replay role, and a plurality of sets of ART are given by lot.

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

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

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

  On the other hand, even if the RB is internally won in a general game, if the RB is not won, an RT state occurs in which the bonus combination is internally won (inside the RB) (see the hatched portion in FIG. 26A). In this RT state, there is no loss (unwinning) as described later, so that the player can play the variable display game in an advantageous gaming state.

  At the time of a general game (see FIG. 26B), the number of RBs is 12000, and the winning probability is 12000/65536. The number of characters that the RB, the bell small part and the one piece small part win at the same time is 6000, and the winning probability is 6000/65536. The number in which the red 7 small win and the 1 small win are simultaneously won is 23000, and the winning probability is 23000/65536. The number of replays is 8978, and the winning probability is 8978/65536 (1 / 7.3). On the other hand, the probability of winning (losing) is 15558/65536 (1 / 4.2).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  FIG. 29 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

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

  When the player performs a third stop operation to stop the right stop button 10c in the temporary state shown in FIG. The bell symbol 7 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 29C). Since the six bell symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged within the interval of four frames, any of the bell symbols can be arbitrarily stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage of the right drum 2c to win a prize. (2nd line in the figure). When the vehicle stops at the upper stage, it becomes a strong bell and the AT lottery is performed with a high probability.

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

  FIG. 30 (A) is the same as FIG. 29 (A). When the player stops the right stop button 10c in the second stop in a state where the left drum 2a is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed in the lower stage. As in FIG. 29C, the main control unit 100 sets the No. 7 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 30B). Since the six bell symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged within the interval of four frames, any of the bell symbols in the pull-in range must be stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage of the right drum 2c to be in a temporary state. Is possible.

  When the player stops the middle stop button 10b at the third stop in the tempered state of FIG. The bell symbol 8 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 30C). Since the five bell symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames at the furthest, any bell symbol in the pull-in range can be stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b to win a prize. (The second line in the figure). That is, if any of the RB, the bell small combination and the left first small combination (FR3 to FR5) is simultaneously won, if the first pressing order is the left stop button 10a, then any operation is performed. The RB or one piece small role does not win while the bell small role wins. As a result, in the variable display game after the next game, the player enters the high-probability replaying state (RT state) during the RB internal winning, so that the player can play the game without being unwinned (losing). In the AT state, the sub control unit 160 uses the display effect device 11 and the speaker unit 12 to notify a predetermined first order (in this case, left first) for winning the small bell part.

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

  FIG. 31A shows a state in which all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating, as in FIG. In this state, when the player presses the middle stop button 10b at the first stop, for example, When the stop operation is performed while the pentagon (red) of No. 1 is at the reference position (the pentagon (red) of No. 1 can immediately stop at the lower position of the middle drum 2b; see FIG. 31B), the main control unit 100 Is located at the middle position of the middle drum 2b through which the effective line passes, and No. The pentagonal (white) symbol 17 is stopped (see FIG. 31C). As a result, the middle drum 2b stops by sliding for four frames. Note that the main control unit 100 can stop the bell symbol (No. 19) of the simultaneously winning bell small part (FR2) on the activated line. This means that the pressing order is wrong, so that the pentagonal (white) symbol of one small win (FR3) within the range of the number of drawn frames is stopped on the active line. Also, regardless of the timing at which the player operates the middle drum 2b at the first stop, a pentagonal (red) symbol and a pentagon constituting a single small part (FR3) arranged at the furthest intervals of four frames Either the (blue) symbol or the pentagonal (white) symbol can be stopped at the middle position. However, the reason that the main control unit 100 does not pull in the bell symbol is that the number of combinations of the symbols when one small symbol is pulled in is 3 (square (brown), pentagon (white), pentagon (red / blue / white) On the other hand, the number of symbol combinations when the bell small symbol is pulled in is 1, and in each case, the number of symbol combinations is larger in the single small role (FR3) than in the bell small combination. is there. In other words, if the pressing order of the first stop is incorrect, the symbol constituting the one-sheet small winning combination (FR3) can be drawn into the activated line and stopped. And since this one piece of small symbol design also serves as the RB symbol, as a result, the symbol of both roles is drawn.

  FIG. 32 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

  FIG. 32 (A) is the same as FIG. 31 (C), and when the player stops the right stop button 10c in the second stop in a state where the middle drum 2b is stopped and the replay symbol is displayed in the lower stage. , The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. The pentagonal (red) symbol of No. 3 is stopped at the lower stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 32B). The pentagonal (red) design, pentagonal (blue) design or pentagonal (white) design that constitutes one small role (FR3) are located at intervals of six frames on the right drum 2c, and thus are within the retraction range. Any of the pentagonal (red / blue / white) symbols can be stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage of the right drum 2c to be in a tempered state. In this case, not only the single sheet winning combination (FR3) but also the RB winning combination is in the temporary state (double temporary state).

  In the double temporary state shown in FIG. 32 (B), the player presses the left stop button 10a at the third stop and sets the No. When the stop operation is performed while the bell symbol of No. 5 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 causes No. The square (brown) pattern No. 4 is stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a, and one small role (FR3) is awarded on the fourth line (see FIG. 32C). In addition, No. No. 10 discarded design No. When the left stop button 10a is stopped when the square (brown) symbol of No. 4 is at the reference position, No. By stopping the square (brown) symbol No. 4 on the first line or the fourth line, it is possible to win one small role (FR3). That is, the stop operation may be performed in the range of 7 frames out of 21 frames, so that the winning probability is 1/3. As a result, in the variable display game after the next game, the player enters the high-probability replaying state (RT state) during the RB internal winning, so that the player can play the game without being unwinned (losing).

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

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

  Further, in the state of FIG. 33A, the player presses the left stop button 10a at the third stop and sets the No. When the stop operation is performed when the square (blue) of No. 11 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 causes No. 11 located three frames above. The pentagonal (blue) symbol 8 is stopped at the lower position of the left drum 2a, and the RB combination is awarded on the fourth line (see FIG. 33C). That is, No. 1 to No. 3 or No. 11-No. When the player stops the left stop button 10a when any of the 21 symbols is at the reference position, the RB symbol stops on the first line or the fourth line, and the RB combination wins. That is, if the stop operation is performed in a range of 14 frames out of 21 frames, the RB combination wins, and the winning probability is 2/3. As a result, the next game is a bonus game, and the game is played without increasing medals. Note that, even when the left stop button 10a is operated in the second stop, the winning mode is consequently the same, and the description is omitted.

  FIG. 34 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

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

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

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

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

  FIG. 35 (A) is the same as FIG. 34 (C), and when the player operates the second stop to stop the right stop button 10c in the state where the middle drum 2b is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed in the middle stage. , The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. The eleventh bell symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 35B). Since the six bell symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged at intervals of three frames at the furthest, any of the bell symbols in the pull-in range is stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage of the right drum 2c, so that the right drum 2c is brought into a temporary state. It is possible to

  When the player performs the third stop operation to stop the left stop button 10a in the temporary state shown in FIG. The red 7 symbol of No. 2 is stopped at the lower stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 35C). Since the three red 7 symbols on the left drum 2a are arranged at intervals of 6 frames, any one of the red 7 symbols is stopped at the upper or lower stage of the left drum 2a to win the red 7 small role (FR1). (The second line in the figure). Note that even if the left stop button 10a is operated in the second stop and the right stop button 10c is operated in the third stop, the red 7 small role (FR1) always wins in the same manner, and the winning manner becomes the same. Description is omitted.

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

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

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

  FIG. 37 (A) is the same as FIG. 36 (C), and when the left drum 2a is stopped and the pentagonal (red) symbol is displayed in the upper row, the player presses the right stop button 10c at the second stop. When the stop operation is performed, the main control unit 100, for example, The pentagonal (red) symbol of No. 3 is stopped at the lower stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 37B). The pentagonal (red) design, pentagonal (blue) design or pentagonal (white) design that constitutes one small role (FR7) are located at intervals of six frames on the right drum 2c, and thus are within the pull-in range. Any of the pentagonal (red / blue / white) symbols can be stopped at the upper stage or the lower stage of the right drum 2c to be in a tempered state. In addition, since the one small role symbol in the tempai state also serves as the RB symbol, if the RB is internally won, the double tempai state in which the symbols of both the roles are drawn is eventually obtained.

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

  FIG. 38 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

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

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

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

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

  FIG. 39 (A) is the same as FIG. 38 (C). When the player stops the middle stop button 10b in the second stop in a state where the right drum 2c is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed at the lower stage. , The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. The bell symbol 8 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 39B). Note that the five bell symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames at the furthest distance, so that any bell symbol in the pull-in range stops at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b even if the stop operation is performed at any timing. By doing so, it is possible to make a tempai state.

  When the player performs a third stop operation to stop the left stop button 10a in the temporary state of FIG. The second red 7 symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 39 (C)). Since the three red 7 symbols on the left drum 2a are arranged at intervals of 6 frames, any one of the red 7 symbols can be stopped at the upper or lower stage of the left drum 2a to win a prize ( In the figure, the first line). In the case where the bitter stops at the upper stage aiming at the 7 red symbols, the strongest red 7 small role is obtained, and the AT lottery is performed with a high probability (for example, a winning rate of 50%). On the other hand, in the case of the weak red 7 small combination, the red 7 symbol stops at the lower position by sliding. Therefore, if the pressing order is correct, the RB internal winning state is maintained, so that the player can play the game without loss.

  FIG. 40 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

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

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

  FIG. 41 (A) is the same as FIG. 40 (C), and when the left drum 2a is stopped and the pentagonal (red) symbol is displayed in the upper row, the player presses the middle stop button 10b at the second stop. For example, No. When the stop operation is performed while the pentagonal (red) symbol of No. 1 is at the reference position (a state in which the pentagonal (red) symbol of No. 1 can immediately stop at the lower position of the middle drum 2b; see FIG. 41B), the main control is performed. No. 100 is No. The pentagonal (white) symbol 17 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 41C). The pentagonal (red) design, pentagonal (blue) design or pentagonal (white) design that constitutes one small role (FR11) are arranged within four frames on the middle drum 2b. It is possible to stop any one of the pentagonal (red / blue / white) symbols in the middle stage of the middle drum 2b to bring it into a tempered state. In addition, the one small combination symbol in the tempai state also serves as the RB symbol, and since the RB is internally won, a double tempai state in which the symbols of both the roles are drawn is eventually obtained.

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

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

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

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

  FIG. 44 is a flowchart showing a symbol stop processing subroutine. A solid line indicates processing executed by the main control unit 100, and a broken line indicates processing executed by the sub control unit 160.

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

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

  Upon receiving the notification signal, the sub-control unit 160 determines in step SS100 whether any of the combined small wins (see FIGS. 25, 26 (B) and 26 (C)) has been won by a command, data, or the like. Is confirmed, and if it has not been won, an effect according to another winning combination is performed and the process ends, while if it has been won, the process proceeds to step SS110.

  In step SS110, the sub control unit 160 confirms whether or not there is an AT and the number of remaining games. If there is no remaining game, the process proceeds to step SS120. If the AT stock exists, the process proceeds to step SS130.

  The sub-control unit 160 checks in step SS120 whether or not the conditions for AT stock are present and whether or not the AT stock is released (AT function is activated). If not, the process is terminated. Move to.

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

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

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

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

  FIG. 45 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

  The sub control unit 160 switches and displays the effect video to be displayed on the display effect device 11 according to the game state. FIG. 45A shows a daytime stage screen, which is used in a state where the AT winning probability is low. FIG. 45 (B) shows a night stage screen, which is used mainly in a state in which the AT winning probability is high. Therefore, when this screen is displayed, the player is excited with an expectation of AT release. When a rare small role (eg, middle cherry, strong watermelon, strong bell, etc.) is won, the sub-control unit 160 performs an AT lottery (AT bonus release lottery) and a highly accurate lottery. When this high-precision lottery is won, the normal daytime screen is switched to the nighttime screen, and the fall lottery is performed with a predetermined probability every time a replay is won during the AT high-precision lottery. And the night screen are alternately displayed at a predetermined frequency. Generally, these display screens change the time and weather according to the stay mode such as the low probability state, the high probability state, and the RB internal winning in order to suggest the correct mode to the player. Proper effects (fake effects) can be performed as needed to further excite the player's expectations. Also, a normal announcement effect corresponding to the various winning combinations is executed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  When the player correctly operates the middle stop button 10b, the sub-control unit 160 changes the character of the large circle at the center to OK and changes it to a small circle (see FIG. 47C).

  When the player operates the right stop button 10c in the second stop and the left stop button 10a in the third stop in the state of FIG. 47C, the sub control unit 160 changes the character “ANY” in the right circle to “OK”. (See FIG. 48A), and then change the character “ANY” in the left circle to “OK”. Finally, since the Red 7 small wins, the "15 GET" and the acquired number are changed to "15" (see FIG. 48B). For example, if the first stop operation is mistakenly performed and the left stop button 10a of the incorrect answer is operated, the character "ANY" in the left circle is changed to "x" and information necessary for winning one small role is won. Notify. In this case, "blue" meaning the square (blue) of the target middle drum 2b is enlarged and displayed (see FIG. 48C). If the middle stop button 10b is operated at the correct timing, a square (blue) symbol is drawn in and one small win wins. Therefore, if the bonus win is inside the bonus, the winning of the bonus win can be avoided. This is a revolutionary original technology with an inventive step.

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

  In the state of FIG. 48B, when the next game is started by the MAX bet operation of the player, the acquired number is changed to “12”. At this time, if “RB + Bell small part + 1 sheet small part” is internally won, the pressing order of the stop button unit 10 necessary for winning the target small part bell small part is displayed by numeral “1”. In this case, the numeral 1 indicating the first stop operation is displayed in a large right circle, and "Migi" is pronounced by Dracula or the hero's voice (see FIG. 49A).

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

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

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

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

  On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a 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

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

  FIG. 51 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

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

  FIG. 51 (B) is an effective line when a predetermined number of game medals are inserted, and the first line (middle, middle, middle: center: left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, right drum 2c). Only one horizontal line is valid. Note that, also in the bonus game (RBB: when the first-class successive-acting-apparatus operating device is activated), the prescribed number of game medals is three, and the valid lines are exactly the same for the first line only.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  For example, the middle drum 2b No. When the middle stop button 10b of the correct answering order is first stopped when the replay 2 symbol of No. 13 is on the active line, the main control unit 100 moves the middle drum 2b by four frames and moves the No. The control is performed so that the bell 1 symbol of No. 9 stops. No. of the left drum 2a. When the blue stop symbol 10 is on the active line and the left stop button 10a in the correct answer order is operated as the second stop, the main control unit 100 moves the left drum 2a by one frame to make the No. The bell 3 symbol of 9 is controlled so as to be stopped, and the first small win is in the temporary state. Thereafter, when the right drum 2c is subjected to the third stop operation, any of the symbols from Bell 1 to Bell 3 is stopped on the activated line, and the first small win (target small win) wins. When the right stop button 10c in the wrong push sequence is operated to perform the second stop operation, either the square symbol or the pentagon symbol is stopped on the effective line of the right drum 2c, and the other small piece is in the temporary state. After that, the other small piece wins. In addition, it is also possible to make another small winning combination a winning or a loss. Note that, as an example, in the second small win, the replay-bell-square symbol stops on the activated line (see FIG. 52 (B)). In the third small win, the square-bell-replay symbol stops on the activated line (see FIG. 52 (C)).

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

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

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

  In a general game, when the RBB serving as a bonus combination is internally won and the RBB wins in that game, the RBB game starts from the next game. The RBB game ends when the number of medals paid out exceeds a predetermined number of 120, and a normal replay state in which the probability of winning the replay combination from the next game is low. It should be noted that the general game → the RBB wins inside → the RBB winning → the payout of more than 120 in the RBB game → the end of the RBB game → the general game rarely occurs, and the player plays the game in the RBB inside medium state described below (hereinafter, “internal Medium game). The general game can be said to be in a so-called “preparation state” before the transition to the inside middle game. The number of RBBs is 2,000, and the number of simultaneous wins of the RBB and one small role (RBB winning inhibition small role) is 2558. Only the former can make the RBB win at the time of internal winning. However, if you do not aim at the blue 7 symbol, the red 7 symbol and the white bar symbol at the timing of internal winning, you will not win if you aim, and even if you win or win, the game medal will only decrease, so it is an advantage for the player to win There is no.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the lower diagram of FIG. 55 (B), the first small role of the pushing small combination is internally won when the extracted random number value is in the range of n1 to n2-1, and the first small combination and the non-pushing small combination are within that range. This indicates that the second small role, the first small role, and the third small role of the non-push order small role, and all of the first to third small roles are simultaneously won. As a result, it is not necessary to push out a plurality of one small wins and a plurality of other one small wins, and it is possible to make all areas where the second small win and the third small win have been elected unrecognized. become.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  On the other hand, in FIG. 57 (D), when the push order bell small win is internally won, if the stop button unit 10 is operated in a procedure for winning the target small win (for example, the order of the middle right and left), the main The control unit 100 stops and displays the replay 2 symbol, the bell 3 symbol, and the square (blue) symbol of the symbol constituting the target small role on the winning line, and also displays the bell 1 symbol, the bell 3 symbol, and the bell 1 symbol ( The small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line diagonally downward to the right (see FIG. 57D). In other words, although the winning pattern of the target small winning combination appears to be inconsistent, the bell small winning combination explicit identification information appears to be aligned, so that the player does not feel any discomfort.

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

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

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

  On the other hand, in FIG. 58 (D), when the replaying game is internally won, the stop button unit 10 is operated in a predetermined operation order (the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation, the left first operation). The main control unit 100 stops and displays the black bar design, the square (white) design, and the square (blue) design on the winning line, and displays the replay 3 design, the replay 1 design, and the replay 2 design in the upper straight line. (See FIG. 58D). In other words, although the winning symbol of the re-gaming combination is visible, the re-gaming combination explicit identification information appears to be aligned, so that the player has no sense of incongruity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  If the stop button unit 10 is operated in another predetermined operation order (right first) when the bell replaying game 2 is internally won, the main control unit 100 causes the replay 3 symbol and the replay 1 symbol to be displayed on the winning line. In addition, the replay 2 symbol is stopped and displayed, and the similar replay symbol is displayed in the middle straight line (see FIG. 60 (B)). In particular, when the left stop button 10a is operated by the second stop operation and the middle stop button 10b is operated by the third stop operation after the right first operation, the main control unit 100 turns on the external output signal 3 of the external centralized terminal board 170. And outputs an AT signal. This can indicate that the assist function has been activated. In addition, although the similar replay symbol stopped in a straight line in the middle, it may stop diagonally downward or diagonally upward.

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

  FIG. 61 shows a symbol arrangement of the drum.

  On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a 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

  Twenty different patterns are drawn on each trunk band, and seven patterns (seven patterns), BAR pattern, upper chili pattern, lower chili pattern, red watermelon pattern, green watermelon pattern, blank pattern, bell The design, blue lip design, and white lip design are drawn as clearly shown in the figure. As shown in FIG. 51, the pay line (also referred to as an "effective line") has only one central horizontal line, and a description thereof will be omitted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  FIG. 65 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series.

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

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

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

  When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 65A), the main control unit 100 operates the middle stop button 10b at the first stop (see FIG. 65B). ), The middle drum 2b is stopped and controlled based on the sliding frame number data, and the common bell symbol of FR1 and FR2 is stopped on the pay line (see FIG. 65 (C)). In this case, the operation procedure is the correct answer. When the blue lip symbol of No. 7 is operated on the winning line, it is slid four frames and No. 7 is shifted. This shows that the bell symbol of No. 3 is stopped on the pay line. In this state, there is a possibility that both FR1 and FR2 will win, but none of FR3 and FR4 can win.

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

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

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

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

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

  The main control unit 100 operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop in a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 67A) (see FIG. 67B). ), The left drum 2a is controlled to stop based on the data of the number of sliding frames, and either the blue lip symbol of FR3 or the white lip symbol of FR4 is stopped on the winning line. In this case, the operation procedure is incorrect. When the red watermelon symbol of No. 4 is operated on the winning line, it is slid three frames and the FR3 No. 4 is moved. This indicates that the blue lip symbol No. 1 has been stopped on the pay line (see FIG. 67 (C)). This is because the combination symbol of FR3, which has a small number of payouts but has a large number of symbol combinations, is preferentially drawn in. At this time, there is no possibility that only FR3 will be awarded (FR1, FR2, FR4 are in a state where no winning is possible). Become). It should be noted that, originally, four frames were slid and the FR1 No. It is possible to stop the 20 bell symbols on the winning line, but FR3 prevents the winning of FR1. If the operation timings are different, the white lip symbol of FR4 stops on the winning line, so that there is no possibility that only FR4 will win. Therefore, FR3 and FR4 can be said to be small wins (first inhibition small wins) for inhibiting the winning of FR1 when the first stop operation is incorrect. In order to win the FR3, the condition that the red watermelon symbol or the upper chilli symbol is stopped on the middle drum 2b and the seven symbol or the green watermelon symbol is stopped on the right drum 2c is required. Since the / 2 and the right drum 2c are 1/2, the FR3 wins only with a probability of 1/4. Similarly, the winning of FR4 is based on the condition that a seven symbol or a green watermelon symbol is stopped on the middle drum 2b and a red watermelon symbol or a lower dust symbol is stopped on the right drum 2c. Since 2b is 及 び and right drum 2c is 、, FR3 wins only with a probability of ４.

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

  FIG. 68 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  When all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 69 (A)), the main control unit 100 operates the left stop button 10a at the first stop (by operating the predetermined operation procedure or When the first left operation is performed (see FIG. 69 (B)), the left drum 2a is controlled to stop based on the number of sliding frames data, and either the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol of the RP1 is stopped on the winning line. In this case, the first stop operation is the left stop button 10a (1st left), When the bell symbol of No. 15 was operated on the winning line, it was slid by four frames and the RP1 No. 15 was slipped. 11 shows that the white lip symbol 11 is stopped on the pay line (see FIG. 69 (C)). This is because the main control unit 100 is programmed to perform stop control so that RP1 wins when the first stop operation is performed by the left stop button 10a and the left drum 2a is stopped first. At this point, only the RP1 can win.

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

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

  FIG. 70A is exactly the same state as FIG. 69A, and thus the description is referred to.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  FIG. 73A is in exactly the same state as FIG. 72A, and thus the description is referred to.

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

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

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

  The main control unit 100 determines that the player stops at the first stop. When the right stop button 10c is operated at the timing when the 14 blank symbols are located on the winning line (see FIG. 74B), the right drum 2c is stopped and controlled based on the number of sliding frames data, and the red watermelon symbol of RP2 is won. Stop on the line (see FIG. 74 (C)). In this state, the white lip symbol stops at the upper stage, and it is no longer possible to win other than RP2 or RP4. The main controller 100 sets the middle stop button 10b in the second stop to the No. When the upper chile symbol is operated on the winning line, the middle drum 2b is controlled to stop based on the number of sliding frames, and the middle drum 2b is slid four frames to make the No. 11 symbol. The blue lip symbol No. 7 is stopped on the winning line (see FIG. 74 (D)). In this case, No. Although it is possible to stop the ten blue lip symbols, the stop control is intentionally performed so that the slip amount is increased. In this state, the replay symbol has a temper, but no prize can be won except for RP2. Further, the player presses the left stop button 10a at the third stop to the No. When the red watermelon symbol of No. 14 is operated on the winning line, the left drum 2a is stopped and controlled based on the data of the number of sliding frames. The ten bell symbols are stopped on the winning line. When the RP2 is won, a blue lip symbol or a white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) is displayed diagonally to the upper right of the symbol display window (see FIG. 74 (E)). FIG. 74 (F) shows a case where the player operates the left stop button 10a at the same timing in the second stop, and in any case, the RP2 always wins. However, depending on the operation timing of the right stop button 10c, RP1 (see FIG. 69 (E)) or RP3 (see FIG. 71 (E)) wins, and the blue lip symbol or the white lip symbol (replay combination explicit identification information) changes. It is displayed straight on the display window.

  FIG. 75 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in chronological order.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  When an operation other than the left 1st operation is performed in the base game, the sub-control unit 160 generates a warning sound such as a buzzer, and notifies the player that the operation is a penalty operation. This penalty operation is executed when the push order small win is internally won, and when the “target small win” constituting the push order small win that should not be awarded wins, the AT lottery is not performed for a predetermined number of games. Give a big penalty. In this case, even if a rare minor role is drawn during the penalty period, no AT lottery can be received, and no benefit in the game can be obtained. Therefore, the player performs the first left operation (operates in a specific procedure) with a low participation rate. It is. Therefore, when the normal replay 1 or the normal replay 2 is internally won, the replay combination is won by the first left operation, and the replay combination explicit identification information is displayed in a straight line on the symbol display window. Then, the main control unit 100 immediately turns on all (three) the inserted number LEDs 4a, and when the player operates the start lever, a lottery is performed and the game is started (provided that 4.1 seconds elapse between games). Spin reel as requirement). On the other hand, when the bell replay 1 or the bell replay 2 is internally won, the main control unit 100 wins the replay by the first left operation, and the bell symbol (small role explicit identification information) is displayed in a straight line in the symbol display window. Then, the bell replay processing subroutine is called.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  When shifting to the special additional zone D in step S546, the sub control unit 160 wins either the freeze effect 1 in which the blue 7 symbols are aligned in a straight line according to the pressing order, or the freeze effect 2 in which the red 7 symbols are aligned in a straight line according to the pressing order. It is determined by a lottery (step S700). In the case of the seven red symbols, the special additional game is performed only once, whereas in the case of the blue seven symbols, the special additional game is performed two or more times (a plurality of times), which is advantageous for the player. The winning ratio of the Blue 7 symbol is about 20%, and the Blue 7 symbol is arranged approximately once every 5 times.

  When proceeding to step S710, the sub control unit 160 waits for a notification from the main control unit 100 that GRP (Group Replay) 1 to GRP7, which is a freeze trigger, has been won. If none of the group replays has been won, the sub control unit 160 proceeds to step S715. After performing the normal process in step S710, the process returns to step S710 to loop. For example, the normal process of step S715 is a process of notifying the winning operation sequence by activating the assist function when the small pressing order is won. That is, steps S710 and S715 can be said to be a standby state until the start of the special additional game.

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

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

  The main control unit 100 determines in step S810 that any of the freeze triggers GRP (group replay) 1 to GRP7 has been won. If the freeze trigger is a trigger, the process proceeds to step S815, while the freeze trigger must not be performed. For example, the process shifts to step S860 to execute normal processing such as stop control and payout of medals.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Specifically, referring to FIG. 88, when all reels are stopped by operating the stop switch and the main control unit 100 receives a command indicating that the game is over and a payout number command, The acquired number is changed to 365, the special button 14 is made operable, and “hit the special button” or “special button hit” is displayed on the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 88 (C)). Thereafter, the player repeatedly hits the special button 14 nine times, and the number of added games is 1st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 10th, 4th, 5th, 5th, 1st, 6th, 1, 7th This indicates that 50 was won at the first time, 1 at the 8th time, and 1 at the 9th time, for a total of 73 times. That is, the added quantities from the first to the ninth times are accumulated and counted, and the counted value is displayed. FIG. 88 (C) shows a state in which the next pressing operation (the tenth pressing operation) is not performed, and a state in which the operation of the special button 14 (pressing switch) is valid.

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

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

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

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

  FIG. 90 is a configuration diagram of the small pressing order, and shows that the 1st is the correct answer operation procedure (winning order). The difference from FIG. 62 is that the role name changes to a generic name (also referred to as “generic information” or “group name”), and a new role name is added. Similarly, FIG. 91 is a configuration diagram of the pressing order small combination, and shows that the right 1st is the correct answer operation procedure (winning order). The difference from FIG. 63 is the same as in FIG. Since there are many portions common to the contents described in FIGS. 62 and 63, the description will be referred to for the overlapping contents.

  There are eight types of pressing order bell combinations, a pressing order bell 1a to a pressing order bell 4b, and a generic name of them is a pressing order bell (see FIGS. 90 and 91). That is, when starting the symbol display game, the main control unit 100 selects one of a plurality of combinations (for example, a strong cherry, a weak cherry, a chance eye, a strong watermelon, a weak watermelon, a bell in any order) by a symbol lottery. One role (flag) is determined, and among these multiple roles, there are eight types (plural types) of push order bells 1a to 4b. The pushing order bell 1a shown in FIG. 90 is the pushing order combination name (also referred to as “push order combination name information”), and the combination name is the pushing order bell. When the pressing order bell 1a is determined, a total of four types of small wins, that is, FR1 (special small win) with a payout number of 9 and FR2 to FR4 with a payout number of 1 each, can be simultaneously awarded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The main control unit 100 determines a winning combination by random number drawing in step S1200, and proceeds to step S1210. The main control unit 100 determines whether the combination is one of the eight types of pushing order bell combination and whether or not the notification condition is satisfied (see step S1210 and step S1215). If these two conditions are satisfied, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160 of the pressing order bell information and the order information (second combination information) of the role name in step S1220. Notifies the sub control unit 160 of the pressing order bell information of the role name (first role information) in step S1230. When receiving the push order bell information and the order information, the sub-control unit 160 causes the display effect device 11 to display the operation order of the stop switch corresponding to the winning order recognized by the order information.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  When the sanding device 300 receives game value data corresponding to a total of 35 credits from the credit control unit 165, the sand device 300 stores the inserted cash balance information and game value data in an information recording medium such as a built-in membership card or a visitor. After the addition and recording, the card is ejected from the card insertion unit 340 to the outside of the sand device. For example, if the cash balance displayed by the sand device 300 is 8000 yen, the cash balance of the member card is 3000 yen, and 1210 stored medals (credits) are recorded, the new cash balance is 11000 yen, and a new cash balance is 11,000 yen. The number of stored medals is recorded as 1248 and is discharged out of the sanding device.

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

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

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

  FIG. 101A shows a cash count display unit 321 and a credit count display unit 322 included in the data display unit 320 of the sand device 300, and a return button 332, a change button 333, and a payout button 334 included in the operation unit 330. Is shown. The cash frequency display unit 321 includes three 7-segment displays, and the credit frequency display unit 322 includes five. When a 10,000-yen bill is inserted into the bill insertion unit 310 in FIG. 98, the cash frequency display unit 321 displays 100. That is, one frequency corresponds to 100 yen. When the return button 332 included in the operation unit 330 is operated in this state, a visitor card in which 100 times is recorded as the balance information is returned from the card insertion unit 340. When the visitor card is inserted into the card insertion portion 340 again, the same state is established, and a game of 100 times is possible. Note that, as shown in FIG. 101 (D), the seven-segment display is turned on when filled in black, and turned off when white.

  When the member card is inserted into the card insertion unit 340, the input of a four-digit password is required. If the password input by operating the 10 key 331 is correct, the balance information recorded on the member card is displayed in the cash frequency display unit. 321 is displayed. If the switch button 333 is operated once in this state, the remaining credit information recorded on the member card is displayed on the credit frequency display section 322. When the operation of the switch button 332 is repeated again, the display of the remaining credit information is alternately switched with the remaining money information for each operation. For example, assuming that the balance information recorded on the member card is 6000 yen, a 1000 yen bill can be inserted into the bill insertion unit 310, and the balance information is updated to 7000 yen. On the other hand, if the balance information is 6,000 yen, a 5,000 yen bill and a 10,000 yen bill cannot be additionally inserted. The reason is that the remaining balance information that can be recorded on the membership card has an upper limit of 10,000 yen (predetermined amount), and the total amount exceeds the predetermined amount. Similarly, when 10,000 yen of cash is inserted into the bill insertion unit 310 and the balance is 6,000 yen, a membership card whose recorded balance information is 4000 yen or less can be inserted, but a member card whose balance information exceeds 4000 yen. Cannot be inserted.

  That is, when cash is inserted into the bill insertion section 310 in a state where the membership card is inserted, the sand device 300 determines the type of bill (any one of a 1,000 yen bill, a 5000 yen bill, and a 10,000 yen bill). Recognize. If the sum of the balance information recorded on the member card and the recognized cash is equal to or less than 10,000 yen (predetermined amount), the cash is accepted and the total amount is displayed on the cash count display unit 321. If not, the cash is discharged from the bill insertion unit 310. Conversely, when the membership card is inserted into the card insertion section 340 in a state where cash is contained, the sand device 300 recognizes the balance information recorded on the membership card. If the sum of the cash balance and the information on the remaining balance of the recognized member card is 10,000 yen (predetermined amount) or less, the member card is accepted and the total amount is displayed on the cash frequency display unit 321, but the member card is not accepted. In this case, the cash is discharged from the card insertion unit 340.

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

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

  102 to 105 are schematic diagrams of the display unit.

  When the player inserts the membership card into the card insertion section 340 of the sanding device 300, the user is required to enter a four-digit password. If the password entered by operating the 10 key 331 is correct, the password is recorded on the membership card. The balance information is displayed on the cash frequency display unit 321 (see FIG. 102A). It is assumed that 8,000 yen is recorded as the remaining balance information and 12345 (corresponding to the current 12345 medals) as the remaining credit information in the member card.

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

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

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

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

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