Description

The present invention relates to a game machine (including a pachinko machine) such as a pachislot machine that uses medals as a game medium and a slot machine called a pachilot that uses pachinko balls as a game medium.

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

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, games using a reel-type game machine called a pachislot machine have been actively played as entertainment in conventional pachinko halls and pachislot parlors. In addition, in video game machines installed in amusement facilities, etc., and personal computers and game machines in general households via the Internet, substitute coins and credits (that is, "game media") are used to simulate reel-type games. A simulation game is being played.

For example, in the normal game of the above-described reel-type gaming machine, when the player operates the start lever after inserting a predetermined number (predetermined amount) of game medals (game media), a bonus combination, a plurality of types , or a replay role (replay role) internal lottery (hereinafter also referred to as "internal lottery") is executed, and a plurality of reel drums (mostly three or rarely four reel drums ) is rotated from top to bottom, and a plurality of patterns arranged on the spinning drum (usually, the plurality of patterns are arranged or drawn on the reel tape and pasted on the outer circumference of each drum.) At the same time as the player operates the stop button corresponding to each drum, the internally won small winning combination (a winning combination in which the number of game media to be paid out is determined) Bell, Watermelon and Cherry. etc. are displayed on the activated line in a predetermined combination to win a prize, and about 1 to 15 game medals are paid out, while replay symbols are displayed on the activated line to replay ) is activated (hereinafter also referred to as "winning"), the next normal game can be played again without inserting game medals (or inserting the number of inserted game medals in the previous game as they are). become possible. If you miss a small winning combination, the payout is 0 and no medals are paid out.

In particular, in the case of a reel-type game machine called A type, a big bonus (type 1 BB or type 2 BB) is internally elected according to the result of the internal lottery of the normal game, and is specified by individual stopping operation of the reel drum. The big bonus game mode (BB game mode) is the most advantageous game mode for the player when the symbols (for example, 7 red symbols, 7 blue symbols, and BAR symbols) are stopped and displayed in line on the active line. You can get a lot of game medals at once by rushing into the operation of the object continuous actuator). In addition, when the regular bonus is won and bar patterns are aligned as specific patterns on the effective line, the regular bonus game (RB game) is executed, and although it is not as good as the BB game, appropriate game medals can be obtained. In any event, the player's greatest interest in the reel-type game is to establish these bonus games. As a result of executing the internal lottery, when the bonus game is won or released, a bonus flag is set and stored in a data storage area such as RAM or RWM, and specific patterns (7 patterns or bar patterns) are stored. The flag is carried over to the subsequent variable display game until the .

By the way, the conventional reel-type game machine (No. 4 machine) has a relatively high gambling nature. 30th Law No. 55) was enforced and applied to the latest reel-type game machines called No. 5 machines.

For example, in the No. 5 reel-type game machine, the ball output rate (short term, medium term, long term) is stipulated very precisely by the regulations, and in the big bonus game (BB game), the number of game medals etc. acquired is The regular bonus game ends when a predetermined number (for example, 360 or 480) is exceeded, and the regular bonus game ends when about 100 or so dozens of coins are obtained, although it is not as good as the BB game. In particular, as a result of prohibiting the bonus stock function, which can be said to be the biggest feature of the conventional reel-type game machine (No. 4 machine) by the same rule, bonus hands are continuously released (so-called bonus consecutive wins). It became impossible to do anything, and the game and gambling properties were extremely reduced.

However, even in such a strict regulatory situation, some deregulations have been made, and as a result of new innovations along with this, slot machines equipped with ART functions (assist replay time functions) have been developed. rice field. This ART function shifts to a high-probability replay state where replays are easy to win, and the symbol stop operation procedure (stop switch operation order and bonus symbol colors are aimed at) to win a small winning combination that has been internally won. (Including the operation timing to start the game.) is notified by liquid crystal display, sound, LED, etc., and assists in winning a prize, and is currently the mainstream of No. 5 slot machines.

Furthermore, an AT machine has been developed that maintains a state in which a bonus combination (2 kinds of BB) is internally won and increases the probability of winning a replay during a normal game or a special game. The AT machine is equipped with an assist bonus (third bonus) that activates the assist function, and when the AT bonus is won, the correct push order is notified when the push order small role is internally won. In this way, the small combination with the largest number of payouts among the plurality of small combinations that are simultaneously won is made to be taken. On the other hand, the assist function is not activated during the normal game, and the player cannot know the correct operation procedure when winning the small win in the order of pressing, and if the irregular pressing (pressing method other than the left 1st stroke) is performed, a penalty is incurred. Therefore, the number of possessed medals (balls possessed) decreases as the number of games played increases.

Then, in a bonus game based on a bonus combination (one kind of RB or one kind of BB), by making the total number of payouts smaller than the total number of insertions, the technique of reducing the number of medals in the bonus game as a result has been registered and publicly known. (see Patent Document 5).

JP 2013-090642 JP 2013-172753 JP 2012-059841 Japanese Patent No. 5900998 Japanese Patent No. 5780535 Pachislot Super Blackjack 2 (manufactured by Net Co., Ltd.) Pachislot Cinderella Blade 2 (manufactured by Net)

By the way, the No. 5 reel-type game machine at the beginning of the regulations had very low gambling properties, but as a result of improvements, the average net increase in the number of cards per game for ART and AT machines has increased to 2.5 to 3. As a result, the ball output performance was better than that of the No. 4 reel-type game machine. And since some machines appeared with a total of 30,000 or more in one day's game, in order to reduce the gambling nature and prevent cheating, the rules were newly revised, and the No. 6 reel-type game machine is now available. being considered. In particular, since the ART function is managed by the main control unit in the No. 6 reel-type game machine, it is necessary to compress the data volume of the main program.

In addition, the same main program cannot be used for the stop control of a game machine having 20 frames, which is usually 21 frames, which is one frame less than the reels, and it is necessary to reduce and compress the data capacity as much as possible.

The present invention relates to the development of a No. 6 reel-type game machine with an assist function, technical innovations in the game, unique program processing (lottery processing in the instruction game), and winning of penetrating bonus hands and push-order small hands. Display mode, especially technology for granting special games (ART and AT) using decreasing RB (type 1 role), devising stop control, and a lottery method that activates an unprecedented instruction function (assist bonus lottery) and additional lottery), the interest of the player is not exhausted. To provide a game machine or the like capable of In other words, the present invention aims to provide elemental technology that is essential for No. 6 reel-type gaming machines with respect to the stop control of a gaming machine with 20-frame reels.

In particular, there is an advantageous game that is more advantageous than the normal game and can activate the instruction function, and in controlling the transition between the normal game and the advantageous game, referring to the number of remaining RT games will generate a large wave of winning balls. To provide a game machine that can be made. In addition, depending on whether the bonus combination 1 or the bonus combination 2 is internally won, the stop control of the pushing order small combination is changed, the base is made flat or rough, and the wave of the winning balls is intentionally made. To provide a game machine that can be changed or adjusted.

In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 performs a lottery for a winning combination in a variable display game in which a plurality of rows of symbol rows in which a plurality of symbols are drawn is varied, and a plurality of symbols are displayed. A plurality of symbols are displayed on a display window by individually stopping the varying symbol rows by operating a stop switch provided corresponding to the row, and in a normal replay state in which the winning probability of the replay combination is predetermined, the winning combination is displayed. When a bonus combination is internally won by lottery and the operating pattern of the bonus combination is not displayed, a target small combination and the target small combination are selected in a lottery for a combination in a gaming machine in which the bonus combination is internally selected in subsequent games. A lottery means capable of internally winning a composite small winning combination including a plurality of inhibiting small winning combinations for inhibiting the winning of a role, and a plurality of winning combinations according to the lottery result of the lottery means in the variable display game and the operation mode of the stop switch. and an informing means for informing the operating mode of the stop switch, wherein the bonus combination includes at least a first bonus combination. and, in a variable display game in which there is a second bonus combination different from the first bonus combination and the first bonus combination is internally won, when the first combined small combination among the combined small combination is won, winning operation When the stop switch is operated in order, the control means wins the target minor winning combination, and when the first composite minor winning combination is won in the variable display game in which the second bonus winning combination is internally won. When the stop switch is operated in the winning operation order and at the winning operation timing of a specific symbol row among the plurality of symbol rows, the control means performs control to win the target minor winning combination. Even if the operation order is correct, if the specific symbol sequence is not operated at the winning operation timing, the control means performs control so as not to win the target minor winning combination and notifies the operating mode of the stop switch. wherein, in a variable display game in which the first bonus combination is internally won, if the first composite minor combination wins in the composite minor combination, the notification means can notify the winning operation sequence. In a variable display game in which the second bonus combination is internally won, if the first composite minor combination among the composite minor combinations is won, the notification means notifies the winning operation order and the winning operation timing. Characterized by what is possible .

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, the advantageous game that is more advantageous than the normal game and that can activate the instruction function ends with 2400 balls or 1500 games, and all of the advantages related to the assist function and the like are completed. Since the number of remaining RT games is not initialized even if the information is initialized, a large wave of payouts can be created by drawing lots for the instruction function with reference to the number of remaining RT games.

According to the game machine according to the present invention, the same main program can be used for the stop control of a game machine equipped with reels of 20 frames, which is usually 21 frames, which is one frame less, so that the data capacity itself can be reduced and compressed. It has the effect of being able to

Moreover, since the shift to the special game is determined based on the number of non-winning small wins in the decreasing bonus game, there is an effect that the number of balls paid out in the bonus game can be reduced more than ever before.

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, the bonus combination includes the big bonus combination, the first regular bonus combination, and the second regular bonus combination, and in the big bonus game, either the first regular bonus combination or the second regular bonus combination. Since the winning number can be differentiated depending on whether or not is won, there is an effect that the playability and interest are increased.

According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is equipped with an actual bonus (especially a penetrating type) and an ART bonus, a display method and a stop control method of the winning form of the pushing order small combination, an ART bonus and an additional lottery method, an advantageous section (Information game section) lottery method, winning notification and instruction method are devised, so that the interest of the player is not exhausted, and the unique additional performance increases the interest, and the data capacity of the main program is compressed or reduced. becomes possible.

Also, the problem that the performance video is reproduced from the beginning is eliminated. As a technical device in the game and a unique program processing, it becomes possible to efficiently and correctly control the ON/OFF of the external signal 4 (the signal during ART) of the external centralized terminal board.

Definition:
Replay refers to a combination of symbols that allows the next play to be played without betting in a pachislot (pachislot machine). The name given in the pachislot approval regulations (regulations concerning certification of gaming machines, model approval, etc.) is replay. Also, the "replay hand" used in the claims may be a group replay hand in which a plurality of replay hands 1 to n are internally elected at the same time, and any one of the replay hands has the highest priority (bonus hand). priority). That is, "replay" can be performed without inserting game medals (including providing game medals for use in games by operating buttons or other devices associated with the storage device). Say a game.

"Activation" is a word that includes the state in which a combination of symbols related to a replay or a combination of symbols related to a continuous actuating device, etc. is displayed on an active line, and " It is synonymous with “winning a prize”. Therefore, in this specification, the terms "win" for replay and "win" for bonus combination may be used for convenience.

Basic implementation:
As an example of a game machine according to the present invention, a reel-type game machine using medals as a game medium will be taken up.

FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a reel-type gaming machine (FIG. 1(A) is an overall view, and FIG. 1(B) is a partially enlarged view). FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the reel-type game machine and a timing chart of credit insertion.

1 is a reel-type game machine body generally called a "pachi-slot machine", which is roughly divided into a housing 1a (see FIG. 2) containing a rotating drum (reel drum section 2) and a front door 1b.

The front door 1b is a main part that can be called the face of the reel-type game machine, and by adding various platings to the resin material to give a high-class appearance, the appearance is given a gorgeous and dignified feeling. Two upper and lower transparent panels 22 are fitted in the front surface of the front door 1b, and various designs are applied.

Behind the upper transparent panel 22a, a display effect device 11 (or an image display device, a liquid crystal display device, etc.) that performs various effects according to the game situation is screwed and fixed. A window portion 3 (pattern display window) is formed on the lower transparent panel 22b by pasting the design sheet 22c. A display LED block 4 (light-emitting display device 4; see FIG. 1B) is attached to the lower portion 22d of the lower transparent panel 22b (see broken line in FIG. 1A). The display LED block 4 is composed of a group of display LEDs to be described later.

4a is an inserted number LED, which displays the number of game medals or credits inserted from the medal inserting unit 5 or by the max bet button 8 or 1 bet button (not shown) for playing a game.

4b is a stored medal number display LED, which displays the number of credits (stored number) of game medals, for example, within a range of a predetermined maximum number of 50 medals. In addition, a payout performance display at the time of settlement of stored medals is performed.

4c is an LED for displaying the number of medals to be paid out, which displays the number of medals to be paid out when winning a prize. In addition, the set value of the ball payout rate and the error code when the game is stopped or when an error occurs are displayed. Further, it has a function as an instruction monitor during the game, and displays numerical values corresponding to information on the order of operation of the stop button section 10, which will be described later. For example, if there is no display on the instruction monitor LED 4h or if it is 0, there is no instruction for pressing order, if it is 1, it instructs to press the left stop button 10a, if it is 2, it instructs to press the middle stop button 10b, and if it is 3, 4 instructs to press the left stop button 10a or middle stop button 10b; 5 instructs to press left stop button 10a or right stop button 10c; The instruction is to press the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c. This display control is executed by the main control unit 100 . There is a slide type changeover switch (not shown), and it is possible to switch ON and OFF of the advantageous section display and the notification function by the instruction monitor by the operation of the player (or the operation on the hall side). The main control unit 100 activates the notification function by the display of the advantageous interval and the instruction monitor when the changeover switch is in the ON state, but does not perform the notification in the OFF state.

In addition, as the display of the instruction monitor LED 4h, 0 indicates no pressing order, 1 indicates pressing in the order of left, middle, right, 2 indicates pressing in the order of left, right, middle, and 3. 4 indicates to press in the order of middle, right, left, 5 indicates to press in the order of right, left, middle, and 6 indicates to press in the order of right, middle, left.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a return button (formally, it is called a ``inserted medal jam return button''), which returns the jammed game medals to a game medal selector (not shown) through which the game medals inserted into the medal insertion unit 5 pass. It is used when returning from the medal payout port 16. - 特許庁

Here, referring to FIG. 2, in the central portion of the housing 1a of the reel-type game machine main body 1, the drum portion 2 and the medal payout device 18 (the medal hopper 18) are arranged therebelow.

A reflector 17 is provided in the upper right part of the housing 1a, and a photosensor is provided at a position corresponding to the front door 1b. When the front door 1b is closed, the LED light emitted from the photosensor is reflected. The reflected light is reflected by the plate 17 and detected by the phototransistor, while the reflected light is not detected when the front door 1b is open. Therefore, the open/closed state of the front door 1b can be detected.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a power supply section. When a power switch 21c is turned on, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after initial checks and initial settings, a variable display game can be performed.

Reference numeral 21a denotes a setting key switch (also referred to as a setting change permitting switch), which is used to set the payout rate in stages and confirm the staged set values. By inserting the operation key into the keyhole 21d and rotating it, it is possible to switch from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF.

21b is an error cancellation switch, which is used to set the payout rate in stages or to cancel the stoppage of the game due to an error. The stepped set value of the ball output rate is displayed by the medal payout number display LED 4c, and each time the error release switch 21b is pressed, the value is incremented by 1, and after the display of "6", it returns to "1" for turnaround display. .

Reference numeral 21e is a confirmation switch, and the game ratio (game ratio) of advantageous sections such as real bonuses (BB, RB), AT, ART and pseudo bonuses that activate the assist function, chance zones, etc., is stored. It is used when displaying on either the number display LED 4b or the number of medals to be paid out display LED 4c.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the control circuit system of the reel-type gaming machine.

The control circuit system is roughly divided into a main block (main board: the part not surrounded by a dashed line) and a sub-block (sub-board: the part surrounded by a dashed line), and the main block controls game results and game progress. On the other hand, the sub-block controls various effects that attract the interest of the player, such as notification and display of game progress and internal lottery results. In addition, when the assist function managed by the main block is activated, the sub-block can be used to win a small winning combination (winning a small winning combination for the purpose of winning) or a stop operation procedure for avoiding falling replay (operation order of the stop button unit 10 and operation timing).

Reference numeral 100 denotes a main control unit, which is an integrated one-chip microcomputer (for example, LEM50A-P manufactured by EL Tech Co., Ltd.) equipped with a microprocessor with a built-in CPU. and a RAM 102 (also known as RWM: rewritable memory) that temporarily stores information necessary for control in which counters, registers, etc. are formed. ), various registers, counters, etc. are provided. As will be described later, the RAM 102 is stored by a RAM backup power supply (power supply capacitor on the main board) constantly supplied via the power supply connector even when the power switch 28c is turned off or the power cord is unplugged. However, if the power connector itself is unplugged, no power will be supplied, so the control data will be erased (all clear or reset to 0) or treated as meaningless information (undefined information). Become.

The main control unit 100 has a start switch sensor 110 (start switch sensor 110), three stop button sensors 120, a medal detection sensor 130, a bet button, and a bet button via an I/O port (not shown) and a data bus. A sensor 140, a stage setting section 150, and a payout sensor 18a are connected, and the main control section 100 is configured to be able to receive input signals from these.

In addition, the main control unit 100 is connected to the drum unit 2, the medal payout device 18, the display LED block 4 and the external centralized terminal board 170 via an I/O port (not shown) and a data bus. The main control unit 100 is configured to be able to control these various devices by sending and receiving input/output signals. Eight external collective terminal board signals are output from the external collective terminal board 170, and their specifications are as follows: output terminal 1 is a medal insertion signal; output terminal 2 is a medal payout signal; output terminal 3 is an external signal 1 (RB); Terminal 4 is external signal 2 (BB), output terminal 5 is external signal 3 (unused), output terminal 6 is relay common, output terminal 7 is external signal 4 (ART signal), output terminal 8 is external signal 5 ( error signal).

The main control unit 100 outputs the information necessary for totalizing and managing the operation status of the gaming machines in the pachislot parlor or the like from the external centralized terminal board 170, but cannot receive any information from the external centralized terminal board 170. do not have. 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, an RBB signal), an external output signal 2 (for example, an ART signal), and an external output signal 3 (for example, unused or two types of BB signals), relay common, external output signal 4 (for example, an error signal indicating that various errors have occurred), and external output signal 5 (for example, a door release error signal). In particular, the RBB signal is for an actual bonus combination (actual bonus combination), while the ART signal is for an assist bonus combination (called a "third bonus combination") that is a special combination for which assist information is reported. Not only is the hall computer (external device 1) aggregated and managed as a pachislot machine, but it is also output to a data counter (external device 2) installed near the top of the pachislot machine to provide the player with key information in the pachislot game (the number of games played). , number of BBs, number of ARTs, ball-out information, etc.). Note that the meaning of the external output signal can be appropriately changed depending on the model specifications.

This 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 according to the operation of the start lever 9 by the player. A drum unit 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c), which is a three-row (multiple-row) pattern row on which a lottery is executed and a plurality of (usually 20 or 21) patterns are drawn. The symbol variation display game is started by rotating the . For example, in this random number lottery, one of the small winning combinations with dividends such as bells, cherries, watermelons, and plums is internally won (or a plurality of small winning combinations are internally won at the same time), and the player operates the stop button unit 10 to stop. , the main control unit 100 individually stops the drum unit 2 at predetermined positions based on the lottery result and stop operation timing according to the operation order. As a result, if predetermined symbols are displayed side by side on any of the activated lines set in the window portion 3, a prize is won. However, the number of effective lines is not limited to five, and may be increased or decreased to one or more depending on the number of inserted medals, design specifications, and game conditions.

The main control unit 100 stores in the RAM 102 the total number of games that have been played and the number of games that are advantageous to the player, such as a pseudo bonus, and the confirmation switch 21e is operated while the front door 1b is open. In this case, (the number of games played in the advantageous section)×100 for the (total number of games played) is calculated and displayed on either the accumulated medal number display LED 4b or the medal payout number display LED 4c. For example, if the total number of games played is 12,345 and the number of games played in the advantageous section is 8,000, the ratio of games played in the advantageous section is approximately 64.803%. is displayed by lighting up.

A sub-control unit 160 is connected to the main control unit 100 via an I/O port (not shown) and a data bus, and controls data (for example, coin insertion data, lottery result, winning status data, step set value data, data indicating the switch operation state of the step setting unit 150, etc.) 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 with a built-in CPU. A counter, a timer, a register, and the like are formed, and a RAM 162 and the like for temporarily storing information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100 are provided. This ROM 161 stores a plurality of BGM (background music) data, and especially during the bonus game, specially arranged BGM is played according to the production scene in order to raise the player's feelings. Selected and played as appropriate. The main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 do not have to be provided separately, and can be provided as one control unit. ing.

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

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

In particular, as will be described later, the sub-control unit 160, when a small winning combination in pushing order (a first small winning combination and a plurality of small winning combinations in a plurality of prescribed small winning combinations in pushing order) is internally won during the ART bonus game, Assist information (auxiliary information) for aligning the winning first minor combination pattern (for example, bell pattern) on the effective line is displayed on the display performance device 11.例文帳に追加This allows the player to easily win the first minor winning combination. However, this ART bonus game is managed under the control of the main control section 100, and the sub-control section 160 only displays assist information according to instructions from the main control section 100. FIG. In other words, the sub-controller 160 is not involved in ball payout performance.

When the cross key is operated, the cross key sensor 111 outputs a direction signal corresponding to the four directions of up, down, left, and right, and an operation signal of the central decision button. Various video presentations, winning announcements, etc. corresponding to the signal are displayed on a display presentation device 11, and sound effects are generated from a speaker section 12.例文帳に追加In addition, the sub-control unit 160 displays on the display effect device 11, based on the signal from the cross key sensor 111, combination symbols of winning combinations, a small winning combination table, and a payout table.

The special button sensor 112 outputs an ON signal (e.g., HIGH signal) when the special button 14 is operated, and outputs an OFF signal (e.g., LOW signal) when the special button 14 is released, and the sub-controller 160 receives this ON signal. Various games and their image effects, winning announcements, etc. are displayed on the display effect device 11 in accordance with the timing of the pulse and the number of times the pulse is received (called repeated hits).

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-controller 160. When the main power supply is ON, an ON/OFF signal is generated according to the opening/closing of the front door 1b. on the other hand, when the main power is off, it is driven by the power supplied from the sub power supply (backup battery), detects and stores abnormal opening and closing of the front door 1b when the main power is off, and then the main power is turned off Even if it is turned ON, it notifies the sub-controller 160 of abnormal opening/closing when the main power supply is OFF. As a result, the sub-control section 160 generates a warning sound when the main power is turned on, even if the front door 1b is closed and there seems to be no abnormality, so that the manager of the game hall can recognize the abnormal situation. , Appropriate measures such as checking and inspection of the game machine can be taken.

The medal detection sensor 130 is composed of a medal passage sensor and a proximity sensor (not shown), and outputs a number of pulse signals corresponding to the number of medals inserted from the medal slot 5 . The main control unit 100 receives this pulse signal, and executes counter logical operation processing at the rise and fall of the pulse signal, so that the input number LED 4a in the display LED block 4 or the accumulated medal number display LED 4b is changed to the number of pulses. Control is performed so that the number of inserted coins or the number of credits increased by the corresponding number is displayed.

The bet button detection sensor 140 normally includes a 1-bet button detection sensor 140a that outputs a pulse signal in response to the operation of the 1-bet button, and a max-bet button detection sensor 140b that outputs a pulse signal in response to the operation of the max-bet button 8. and are separately connected to two ports of the main control unit 100 (details not shown). The main control unit 100 controls the number display of the inserted number LED 4a so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signal. However, it is assumed that only the max bet button 8 is provided, since many machines are not provided with the 1 bet button these days.

Here, referring to FIG. 2B, the maximum number of sheets that can be inserted is 3 (first number), or the number of sheets less than the maximum (second number: 1 or 2. That is, the second number is the first (less than the number of ). When the main control unit 100 detects the rising edge of the pulse signal output from the max bet button detection sensor 140b when the max bet button 8 is turned on in a state where the game can be played with the maximum number or less than the maximum number. , start a 0.8 second timer to start timing. When the main control unit 100 detects the falling edge of the pulse signal output from the max bet button detection sensor 140b by turning off the max bet button 8, the predetermined time of 0.8 seconds must have elapsed. For example, since the operation is for a short time less than the predetermined time, the maximum number of 3 sheets is inserted (see the left side of FIG. 2(B)). On the other hand, when the trailing edge of the pulse signal is detected, if the predetermined time of 0.8 seconds has elapsed, the operation is for a long time exceeding the predetermined time, so less than the maximum number of sheets (one or two sheets) is inserted. (Refer to the right side view of FIG. 2(B)).

When the player normally operates the start lever 9 after inserting a predetermined number of medals, the start switch sensor 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 100 executes a random number lottery or the like upon receipt of this start signal. A variable display game is started by going there, and a drive pulse signal is output to the drum unit 2 . The game performed by operating the start lever 9 once is a variable display game, and the player aims to increase the number of medals by winning a bonus game (big bonus or regular bonus). repeat the game. Note that the bonus game means, for example, a first class special role (RB), a first class special role continuous action (RBB), or a second class special role continuous action (CBB).

When the stop buttons 10a, 10b and 10c are operated during the variable display game, the main control unit 100 individually stops the rotation of the corresponding rotating drums, and a predetermined winning combination is established (the pattern of each rotating drum). are displayed in a predetermined combination.) When paying out medals, the number of medals to be paid out is displayed on the number of medals to be paid out display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and this is the number of credits. In addition to , it is displayed on the stored medal number display LED 4b. When a payout operation is performed by the checkout button 6 or when the number of credits exceeds, for example, the maximum number of 50, the main control unit 100 drives and controls the medal payout device 18 to pay out the required number of medals. It is discharged from a payout port 16 and accumulated in a receiving tray 15.例文帳に追加

Further, the main control section 100 outputs control data (event data) relating to internal winning to the sub-control section 160 when a replay or a small winning combination, particularly a bonus, is internally won. When the sub control unit 160 receives control data from the main control unit 100, the sub control unit 160 controls the lighting of the gaming state display LED unit 13 and controls the voice synthesis LSI (not shown) for generating sound effects from the speaker unit 12. , and control the display of characters and background images on the display screen of the display effect device 11, and perform various effect operations.

Reference numeral 150 denotes a step setting unit, and by performing a step setting operation of the ball payout rate, which will be described later with reference to FIG. , step values 1 to 6 (or jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.).

A stop setting unit (not shown) is connected to the main control unit 100, and if it is ON (or "1"), after the bonus game ends, the number of insertions LED 4a and the number of accumulated medals display LED 4b The total number of displayed medals is forcibly paid out, the operation for performing the variable display game is disabled (stopped state), and a warning sound is generated from the speaker section 12.例文帳に追加Recently, there are many slot machines that do not have this stop setting section.

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

The drum unit 2 includes step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c for controlling the rotation of three drums, a left drum 2a, a middle drum 2b, and a right drum 2c, and responds to drive pulse signals from the main control unit 100. The stepping motors 30a, 30b and 30c are driven by the stepping motors 30a, 30b and 30c, and when the driving pulse signals are continuously supplied to any two phases, an attractive force is generated and the motors are suddenly stopped. In practice, finer stop control is performed to smoothly stop the drum section 2 at a predetermined position.

The step motors 30a, 30b and 30c are of a 4-phase 1-2 excitation system with a step number of 252 steps/revolution (1.43 degrees/step), and when the main control unit 100 inputs 504 pulses of the drive pulse signal, the step motors 30a, 30b and 30c 1 rotation. Since one pulse of each index signal (reference signal or reference position signal) is returned from each drum sensor 31a, 31b, and 31c, which is a photointerrupter provided for each drum, the main control unit 100 controls each drum. can accurately grasp the reference position of That is, the resolution by one input pulse is 0.714 (degrees/pulse). When the resolution is further increased, the rotational position can be grasped in detail by controlling the time from one input pulse to the next input pulse and the rotational speed.

FIG. 5 is a configuration block diagram of the drum section.

The rotating shafts 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 (ie, from top to bottom). In addition, a left drum belt 32a, a middle drum belt 32b, and a right drum belt 32c, which are arranged with a plurality of types of patterns, are attached to the outer peripheral portion of each drum, and the same pattern (predetermined) is attached in the variable display game. If the predetermined symbols drawn) are aligned on the activated line and displayed in the window portion 3, the combination is established (winning or activated). The star mark, + mark, plum mark (black circle mark) and triangular mark in the figure are shown for convenience and are different from the actual ones. Designs and the like are generally used. Also, the bollard band is generally called a reel tape.

Drum sensors 31a, 31b and 31c (not shown) are provided for the step motors 30a, 30b and 30c, respectively, and one pulse of the index signal is returned from each drum sensor for each rotation of the step motor. is coming. The main control unit 100 always grasps the pattern number and the rotation angle (24 divisions/design) at the reference position (for example, the lowest position of the window part 3) from this index signal and the number of output drive pulse signals ( It has recognized.

FIG. 6 is a drum pattern layout table.

On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c, a belt (not shown) on which a left drum pattern, a middle drum pattern and a right drum pattern are drawn goes around the outer circumference of each drum. affixed to.

As shown in the example, 21 different patterns are drawn on each platoon belt, and the big bonus patterns "Red 7", "Blue 7", "Yellow 7", and "BAR , various small prize winning symbols such as cherry, watermelon, and bell, and a replay that activates the replay. It should be noted that although not shown in this figure, a "discarded pattern" (also called a blank pattern) does not form any role even if it stops on the active line, and is, for example, light gray and circled so as not to stand out to the player. "N" may be printed inside. In other words, the discarded pattern is a pattern that is not involved in winning a prize.

FIG. 7 is a structural block diagram of the drum section, and FIGS. 7A and 7B chronologically show states in which the right drum 2c is retracted.

The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the result of the lottery is a win and the winning combination is internally won, the main control unit 100 performs a drawing control to draw the symbols of the winning combination onto the effective line as much as possible. conduct.

For example, in a so-called ready-to-reach state (or ten-ply state) in which the symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the effective line diagonally below the right side of the stopped left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b, the effective winning combination is internally elected. When the symbol "7" is positioned within 4 frames above the line (that is, when the symbol "7" is positioned within 5 frames including the pattern on the effective line), when the right stop button 10c is operated to stop (Fig. 7 (A )), the main control unit 100 forcibly draws the symbol "7" onto the effective line and performs drawing control to align the combination of "7, 7, 7" (see FIG. 7(B)). .

On the other hand, even if one of the winning combinations is internally won by lottery, the player will not be in an advantageous state unless a predetermined symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the activated line. For example, the big bonus game (BB game) does not operate unless it is displayed as shown in FIG. 7(B). This pull-in control is performed not only for the right drum 2c, but also for any of the patterns on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. The main control unit 100 refers to a stop table that determines the stop position of each drum according to the random number lottery result (internal winning or losing), and sequentially calculates the number of sliding frames for the position of the virtual stop operation symbol piece in advance. to complete the sliding frame number table for the first stop operation. Then, when the stop button portion is actually operated to stop, the main control portion 100 moves the relevant reel drum by the number of sliding frames corresponding to the pattern number at the reference position, and then stops so as to stop. control. In other words, there are a total of 63 frame positions (21 frames x 3 reels) for the first stop operation position, and the number of sliding frames for all the frame positions is created in advance (before the stop operation is possible) as a sliding frame number table. I do.

In the example of FIG. 7, the pattern "7" on the right drum 2c is exactly four frames above in the tenpie state, and is the object of the pull-in control and is lined up on the effective line. However, this pull-in control is not limited to four frames, and the number of pull-in frames can be increased or decreased by software control so as to conform to design specifications or legal regulations in reel control of freeze effect. Incidentally, when the random number lottery result in the general game is won, the sub-control unit 160 provides auxiliary information (operation order, Assist information such as operation timing (AT information) is notified by the display effect device 11 or voice.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram of the configuration of the drum section, and FIGS. 8A and 8B chronologically show states in which the right drum 2c is under avoidance control (or kicking control).

The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the lottery result is a loss and the role is not established (when all the roles are not internally won), a prize is won or activated on the active line. Avoidance control is performed so that patterns of roles (bonus, small role, replay) are not aligned.

For example, in a ready-to-win state (tenpai state) in which a big bonus combination has not been internally won and symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the effective line diagonally below the right side of the stopped left drum 2a and middle drum 2b, the game is played. When the player operates the stop button 10c in a state in which the symbol "7" is positioned within one frame from the effective line by "eye-pressing" (for example, it is called "bita-pressing". FIG. 8 ( See A)), the main control unit 100 moves the symbol "7" at least one step forward so that "7, 7, 7" are not aligned on the effective line, and performs avoidance control to forcibly make it lose. (See FIG. 8B). This avoidance control is performed not only for the right drum 2c, but also for any of the patterns on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. In addition, avoidance control is performed so that a non-winning minor combination symbol does not win a prize. These pull-in control and avoidance control (kicking control) are stop control based on the sliding frame number table created in advance by referring to the stop table according to the internal winning situation by the main control unit 100, and if necessary It is performed under program control control.

FIG. 9 is a timing chart showing the relationship between the index signal, pattern position data (frame data), drive pulse signal and stop button sensor signal.

FIG. 9(A) shows the index signals output from the drum sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c, and the main control is performed so that T1 becomes constant at 0.751 seconds (that is, 79.9 revolutions/minute). controlled by the unit 100;

FIG. 9(B) shows pattern position data on the rotating drum, and FIG. 9(C) shows the drive pulse signal.

The pattern position data is generated by dividing the drive pulse signal, and the data is subtracted by 1 every 24 pulses of the drive pulse signal. That is, with the index signal as a reference, the pattern position data is "21" when the drive pulse signal is in the range of 1 to 24 pulses, and the pattern position data is "20" when the drive pulse signal is in the range of 25 to 48 pulses. When the driving pulse signal is in the range of 49 to 72 pulses, the symbol position data is "19", .... When the driving 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. to 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 rotary drum in a fixed direction. When the pattern numbers 0 to 7 are repeatedly applied to the motor coils 1 to 4 phases three times as the drive pulse signal (that is, when 24 pulses are input), the rotary drum rotates from top to bottom by one pattern (one frame). do.

In particular, the input pulse phase data of the drive pulse to be input to the step motor is 5-bit data from 0 to 23 for driving the rotating drum one frame, and the pattern numbers 0 to 7 are the lower 3-bit phase data. Then, the drive pulse corresponding to the pattern number is actually applied to the motor coil phases 1 to 4. Therefore, even if 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. 9(D) shows stop button sensor signals output when each stop button is operated. In this figure, the main controller 100 recognizes the pattern position data "11" and the input pulse phase data "10" (or the pattern number "2") at the rising edge of the stop button sensor signal.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a included in the drum section.

As shown in FIG. 10(A), the left drum 2a is rotating in the direction of the arrow (from top to bottom), and the three window portions 3 indicated by solid lines have a cherry design on the top, middle or bottom. When the (lower Chile pattern in FIG. 6) stops, a prize is awarded, and a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. Note that FIG. 10A shows a state in which the cherry pattern is stopped in the upper part of the window portion 3 .

When the player performs an operation to start the variable display game, the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery. ), control to pull in cherry symbols (see FIG. 9) or avoidance control (see FIG. 10) is performed.

FIG. 10(B) shows the possible range of pull-in control. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position four frames above the position where the cherry pattern is exactly on the upper row, the main control unit 100 Stop the cherry symbol on the upper row of 3 (assuming that the vita symbol is on the upper row position). In practice, about 36 ms is required until the stop, so it is positioned higher by that amount, but for convenience of explanation, it is described in this manner. Also, since it is stipulated to stop within 190 ms from the stop operation, there are cases where four frames do not slip. Data 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 10(A) and data 0 overlapped with the cherry symbol indicate the number of sliding frames, and the main control unit 100 performs stop calculation processing based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information. Then, a sliding frame number table is created so that stop control can be performed immediately whenever the player operates the stop button part 10 at any timing.

On the other hand, FIGS. 10(C) and 10(D) show the range in which avoidance control and the like are performed. If the stop button 10a is operated at a position above the frame (i.e., a position above 4 in FIG. 10A) or at a position slightly past the upper position, the stop button 10a will be one position above or below the upper position. Stop the cherry pattern one step down and make it a loss. In other words, since the middle cherry (cherry 2) or the lower cherry (cherry 3) has not been won, the cherry symbol must be forced to stop outside the window portion 3.例文帳に追加

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

As shown in FIGS. 11(A) and 11(B), assuming that the cherry patterns on the left drum 2a are frame number 8 and frame number 19 (different from FIG. 6), the upper cherry is inside. If the lottery is won, the main control unit 100 determines the symbol position data "14" and the input pulse phase data "0" to the symbol position data "11" and the input pulse phase data, assuming that the bottom position of the window part 3 is used as the measurement reference. When the stop button 10a is operated in the range of "23" or symbol position data "4" and input pulse phase data "0" to symbol position data "1" and input pulse phase data "23", the cherry symbol is displayed in the upper row. It will be stopped and won. In other words, even if the stop button 10a is properly operated, not only will the player win with a probability of 10/21, but if the winning announcement is made, a skilled player can make the player win with a probability close to 100% by pressing the eyes. .

FIG. 12 is a combination display determination diagram of symbols.

When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs combination display determination of winning and operation-related symbols on an effective line corresponding to the number of inserted game medals. Generally, when one game medal is inserted, the effective line is only the first line, when two game medals are inserted, the effective lines are the first, second and third lines, and when three game medals are inserted, the effective line is the first line. In addition to the 1st to 3rd lines, all of the 4th and 5th lines are enabled. For example, when three game medals are inserted and two cherry symbols are displayed on the left drum 2a in the window portion 3, four medals are displayed in the upper row (2 medals x 2 lines: the second line and the second line). 4 lines), 2 game medals (2×1 line: 1st line) in the middle stage, and 4 game medals (2×2 lines: 3rd line and 5th line) in the lower stage. However, this effective line is a general one that has been adopted from the past, and as will be described later, recently there are many lines with only one line and irregular lines. Note that the maximum number of coins to be paid out at one time is 15 coins.

FIG. 13 is a configuration block diagram of a display rendering device.

The display effect device 11 receives effect commands from the sub-control unit 160 and transmits necessary information. and a display panel 11e. In the case of this figure, the ROM 11c is separately provided in the display effect control section 11b, but there is no problem even if all the video data is stored in the ROM 161. FIG. Therefore, the ROM 11c may be considered as part of the ROM 161. FIG.

FIG. 14 is an effect pattern table, which associates the effect command with the effect pattern data stored in the ROM.

The effect command consists of 1-byte mode data and 1-byte event data, and is stored in association with effect pattern data (mainly moving images, but also still images), which are the contents of the effect. .

When the sub control unit 160 receives control data necessary for various controls from the main control unit 100 (in particular, various data indicating a big hit, a small win, a replay or a loss in the random number lottery result), the sub control unit 160 receives the random number Before notifying the lottery result, an appropriate performance command corresponding to the control data is transmitted to the display performance device 11 side, and the command receiving part 11a receives this performance command and transmits it to the display performance control part 11b.

Upon receiving the effect command, the display effect control section 11b reads 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. configured to be displayed on the screen.

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

When the sub-control unit 160 transmits, for example, ($Z0$00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e displays the low-probability stage "day effect pattern 0” is displayed (see FIG. 15(A)). On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($Y0$00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e displays a high-probability stage suggesting a state in which a pseudo-bonus is stocked or a high-probability state in which the pseudo-bonus is likely to be won. "Night effect pattern 0" is displayed (see FIG. 15(B)). Therefore, the player expects or longs for the display of the "night stage" that mainly suggests a high probability state during the game. However, even if there is no pseudo bonus stock or in a non-high probability state, the "night production stage" will be displayed, and vice versa, the "day production stage" will be displayed when there is a pseudo bonus stock or in a high probability state. may also be displayed. The pseudo bonus is a special game in which the assist function is activated, and the assist bonus starts when the pseudo bonus is released.

Further, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($S0$00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e superimposes the image "Dracula's Castle" corresponding to the "castle effect pattern 0" on the blue sky background screen. (See FIG. 15A), or superimposed on the background screen of the moonlit night (See FIG. 17B). Then, the notification image corresponding to the established combination (minor combination or replay) is displayed (see FIG. 15(C)).

When the effect of FIG. 15(B) develops in multiple stages, it becomes a premonitory effect in which there is a stock of pseudo bonuses and the release probability is high, or the expectation of the release of pseudo bonuses is high or is fixed. For example, FIG. 16A shows a state in which the outer gate of "Castle Dracula" is enlarged and the iron gate is about to open. Then, the player enters Dracula's Castle, the door expands (see FIG. 16(B)), the door gradually opens (see FIG. 16(C)), and the gorgeous interior of "Dracula's Castle" is displayed (see FIG. 16). (D)). After that, it develops into a battle between the main character and the vampire Count Dracula, and if the main character wins, there is a stock of pseudo bonuses, and the release of the pseudo bonus is confirmed, or the inside of the real bonus is won, and the release of the real bonus is confirmed.

17(A) (same as FIG. 15(B)) in which the normal screen at night is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, the graveyard is enlarged, and the character butler shouts "Ollah!" Along with the sound effect "Tirororororon", the main character appears from the dug grave in the center of the screen (see FIG. 17B), and the characters "BONUS" meaning "big win" are displayed ( (see FIG. 17(C)), a premium effect may be produced. All of these display effects are executed by receiving control commands and event data from the main control unit 100 and outputting effect commands from the sub-control unit 160 according to programs.

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

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

In the case of the reel-type gaming machine of the present invention, the main control unit 100 generates random numbers. This random number is cyclically and randomly generated every value from 0 to 65535 (m7) only once in one cycle (approximately 6.5 ms). FIG. 18A is a lottery table used in a normal state (initial state or non-RT state) with a high probability of losing. Second, if the random number is in the range of 0 to m1, a big bonus (BB) is won. That is, the internal lottery is to pick up (extract) only one random value at the start operation, compare it with the lottery table, and determine the winning combination.

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

Normally, these values of m1 to m7 are appropriately set in consideration of laws and regulations (Amusement Business Law) and game characteristics, but the BB winning probability is about "1/400", and the RB winning probability is "1/300". , the winning probability of cherries and watermelons is about "1/50", the winning probability of bells is about "1/6", and the winning probability of replay is about 1/7.3. Although BB and RB are elected individually, they may be elected together with rare roles.

On the other hand, FIG. 18(B) is a lottery table used in the high-probability replay state (RT state). In the replay time, the replay winning range is expanded by α, while the losing range is narrowed by α. Thus, the probability of winning the replay is set to about "1/2". As a result, the probability of winning the replay corresponding to the payout of 3 coins is greatly increased, while the probability of losing is decreased, so that the expected payout value of the game medals is greatly improved or increased during the replay time. . Further, the main control unit 100 can set the expected value of the replay time to a desired value by increasing or decreasing the α value.

Although detailed drawings of the lottery tables are omitted, there are six lottery tables 1, 2, . selects a lottery table according to the step set value and the number of inserted medals set by the step setting unit 150, and executes a bonus game or an internal lottery for a plurality of small wins in the variable display game. The expected value for winning the bonus game in the internal lottery is generally lottery table 1<lottery table 2< . However, in the case of a machine dedicated to three medals, a lottery table with one medal is unnecessary.

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

BB (Big Bonus) is the role name when the BB symbol of "Red 7", the BB symbol of "Blue 7", and the BB symbol of "Yellow 7" are all aligned on the effective line. If flag 1 is set in the flag area and these symbols are aligned, the number of medals acquired is 0, and the big bonus game (BB1 game to BB3 game: operation of the continuous actuating device) is entered and ends when more than 359 coins are paid out. do.

RB (regular bonus) is the RB pattern of "Red 7", "Red 7" and "BAR", the RB pattern of "Blue 7", "Blue 7" and "BAR", and the RB pattern of "Yellow 7", "Yellow 7" and "BAR". This is the name of the role when the RB patterns are aligned on the effective line, and if an internal win is made, a flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and when this pattern is aligned, the number of medals acquired is 0, and the regular bonus game (RB game: role Activation of the continuous actuating device) and ends when 119 or more sheets are dispensed. Incidentally, these accessory continuous operating devices may be either the first type special accessory or the second type special accessory, and are appropriately selected according to the design specifications. In addition, as will be described later, the model of the RT machine is a high-probability game in which the winning probability of the replay role is higher than the predetermined probability when the bonus game that started with the winning of the bonus role ends. allowed to run the specified number of times. Further, in some RT machines, when a specific symbol is displayed in a high-probability game, a high-probability game in which the probability of winning a replay combination is changed can be executed a predetermined number of times.

When the cherry pattern stops on the effective line of the left drum, one medal is obtained for each effective line. For example, if the effective line is the display determination diagram of FIG. 14, one sheet will be issued if the drum stops at the middle stage of the left drum. When the watermelon patterns are aligned on the effective line, five medals are obtained. When the bell patterns line up on the activated line, eight medals are obtained.

When a replay combination is internally won, a flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and any replay operation pattern is always aligned on the activated line (also called winning a replay combination). When the replay activation pattern is displayed, a replay without medal acquisition is activated, and the player operates the start lever 9 to perform the replay and lower the flag (that is, set it to 0). That is, the next game can be played without inserting medals. The timing of lowering the flag is arbitrary.

Next, the basic operation of the reel-type game machine configured as described above will be described with reference to flowcharts and the like.

First, when the reel-type gaming machine is shipped from the factory, as default, the warning mode is set to "on state" when the stage setting operation of the payout rate is performed, and the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) is set to " off" and the step setting is set to the lowest "1".

On the game hall side, when the front door of the reel-type game machine main body 1 is opened and the power switch 28c is turned on before the player is allowed to play, power is supplied to each circuit block, and the main control unit 100 operates as described later. In step S100, an initial check (hardware abnormality check, etc.) and initial setting (for example, the stop setting flag "1", the step setting value "1" stored in the ROM 101, and the initial value of the control data are written to the RAM 102). Then, the sub-control unit 160 sets the warning mode to "on state", and when the front door 1b is closed, the variable display game can be played.

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

FIG. 20 is a flow chart showing the main operation processing procedure of the reel-type game machine.

An employee of the game hall opens the front door of the reel-type game machine main body 1 to turn off the power switch 28c once, inserts the setting change key into the setting key switch 28a and turns it to the right to turn it on (Fig. 2). ), and the power switch 28c is turned on again, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after initial checks and initial settings are executed in step S100, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S100. At S110, it is determined whether or not the setting key switch 28a is in the ON state.

If the setting key switch 28a is not in the ON state, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S130.

In the setting change mode of step S120, before the game hall side allows the player to play, the stage setting value "6" with the highest ball output rate is input, the start lever 9 is hit once to confirm the setting value, and the setting key switch is set. 28a is turned off, the main control unit 100 returns to step S100, sets the set value to "6", and performs necessary processing such as the initial check and initial setting of the hardware 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 outputs ($Y0$01) as the effect command, for example, to the display effect device. 11. As a result, the display panel 11e displays "night effect pattern 1" as a start screen (not shown), which is composed of a screen of a full moon in the night sky, Dracula's castle, and a cemetery.

When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S130 after changing the step setting value, it checks for an abnormality such as a door open, hopper error, or selector error. While returning to step S100, if there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S150. In particular, the main control unit 100, as an abnormality check, sets the data of the staged set values stored in the work RAM area to 0 to 5 (the staged set values displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c correspond to 1 to 6, respectively). ), and if the step set value is not within the predetermined range, a warning ("EE" error character display , light emission and warning sound) are generated to perform error processing (abnormality processing in step S140).

When the process proceeds to step S150, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the player has inserted a required number of game medals for the game using the medal detection sensor 130 or the bet button sensor 140, and if a predetermined number of game medals have been inserted , the process proceeds to step S160, and if the medal has not been inserted, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping each step until the medal is inserted.

When the process proceeds to step S160, the main control unit 100 confirms whether or not the player has operated the start lever to start the variable display game. If not, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping each step until the start operation is performed.

The main control unit 100 executes the main processing of the variable display game in step S170, performs a random number lottery in accordance with the reception timing of the start signal, picks up (extracts) the random value and the current internal state (RT or non-RT). It is determined whether or not an internal lottery is won by comparing with the lottery table (see the description of FIG. 18).

The main control unit 100 transmits a lottery result command and a game start signal to the sub control unit 160, simultaneously rotates the drum unit 2, and rotates the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c. A variable display game is started in which the symbols of are varied at a predetermined speed.

9 and 10, the main control unit 100 operates the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, or the right stop button 10c of the stop button unit 10 so that each pattern row (pinning band) is displayed. is stopped, pull-in control for aligning the symbols corresponding to the internal winning combination on the effective line, or conversely, avoidance control for not aligning the symbols is performed. Further, when the sub-control unit 160 receives a lottery result command and a game start signal from the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 performs a lottery operation to determine whether or not to display an effect on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. , and the player is notified of the lottery result of a big hit (bonus winning), a small winning combination, replay or loss according to the operation of the stop button part 10.例文帳に追加It should be noted that the main control unit 100 executes stop control with reference to the sliding frame number table.

The main control unit 100 determines that a combination is established when predetermined symbols are displayed side by side on the active line of the window 3 in each variable display game of the general game, and the payout table stored in the ROM 161 (see FIG. 19). ), game medals are paid out from the medal pay-out device 18 and discharged from the medal pay-out port 16 for a payout that is added as credits or exceeds the upper limit of storage.

In a big bonus game (BB game) in which three red 7s are aligned, the BB game mode is terminated when the number of obtained bonuses exceeds 360 by activating the accessory continuous actuating device. In addition, in the regular bonus game (RB game) in which three blue 7 symbols are arranged, the RB game mode is ended when the character continuous operation device is activated and the acquired number exceeds 120. .

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

Next, the operation of the reel-type game machine having the basic configuration as described above will be described in detail with reference to drawings, flow charts, and the like. In particular, a reel-type gaming machine (A+ART type) in which the probability of winning a replay fluctuates and a real bonus and an assist bonus (ART, third bonus, pseudo-bonus, etc.) are installed will be described.

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

The left drum 2a (first drum), the middle drum 2b (second drum) and the right drum 2c (third drum) each have a left drum pattern, a middle drum pattern and a right drum pattern. A waist belt (not shown) is attached around the outer periphery of each drum.

Each belt has a different pattern (upper shin design, lower shin design, BAR design, blue seven design, red cherry design, blue cherry design, white pumpkin design, green pumpkin design, replay design and bell design). 10 types) are arranged.

FIG. 22 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

When all three drum units 2 have stopped, the main control unit 100 determines the combination display of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of inserted game medals (Fig. 22 ( A)). However, in all games (regular game, assist game, bonus game, etc.), the prescribed number is assumed to be three.

FIGS. 22(B) and 22(C) show effective lines when three prescribed number of game medals are inserted, and the first line is the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c in this order, albeit irregularly. (Lower, Middle, Middle: Irregular horizontal lines) are only valid. That is, in all games, three cards are always inserted, and the effective line is the irregular first line.

FIG. 23 is a payout table for normal operation and bonus operation.

When all three reels (rotating drums or drums) are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs combination display determination of symbols relating to winning and operation on the active line (see FIG. 22).

(1) Bonus 1 (accessory continuous actuating device for the first class special accessory): (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (red cherry) on the right drum 2c on the effective line. When the cards are stopped together, the number of acquired cards is 0 and a bonus of 1 is given after that (1 type BB1 is activated. BIG bonus). Since the BAR patterns appear to be aligned in a straight line upward to the right, the player does not feel uncomfortable. The game of bonus 1 ends when the acquired number exceeds 144. - 特許庁

(2) Bonus 2 (accessory continuous actuating device for the first class special accessory): (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (blue cherry) on the right drum 2c are on the effective line. When all the cards are stopped, the number of acquired cards is 0 and a bonus 2 is given after that (Type 1 BB2 is activated. Regular bonus). Since the BAR pattern, the BAR pattern, and the blue 7 pattern appear to be aligned in a straight line upward to the right, the player does not feel uncomfortable. The game of bonus 2 ends when the acquired number exceeds 144. - 特許庁

(3) Middle bell: When the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (bell), and the right drum 2c (bell) stop aligned on the effective line, a bell pattern is displayed in a straight line in the center, and the middle bell wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is nine.

(4) Lower right bell: For example, when (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (Bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (Replay) on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line, a bell pattern is displayed on the lower right. , lower right bell wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is nine.

(5) Missing lower right bell (increase in BB): For example, during a BB game, (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (Bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (Bell) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. When it stops, it is displayed as if the bell pattern is missing on the lower right, and the lower right bell is missed. The number of acquired medals (game media) is nine. In the normal game, even if this pattern is displayed, it is lost, and the number of medals (game media) obtained is zero.

(6) Upper bell: For example, when (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (Blue 7) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR) on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line, a bell pattern is displayed on the upper stage. Bell wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is nine. There are 27 types of upper bells, and they serve as hindrance small hands in push order small hands to be described later.

(7) Push order small role: Left 1st is the correct push order bell role (left), middle 1st is the correct push order push order cherry role (middle), right 1st is the correct push order push order cherry role (left) right), and if the first stop operation is the correct answer in the three-choice small combination, the objective small combination is won by the subsequent second and third operations.

(8) Middle cherry: For example, if number 20 (white pumpkin) on the left drum 2a, number 2 (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and number 11 (bell) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped. , the middle cherry wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is nine. It is possible to display three BAR patterns aligned in the lower right corner. The middle stage cherry role is a trigger role for a freeze lottery, and when it is won, a freeze effect (reel lock and reel effect) is performed, and at least five pseudo-bonuses are stocked and released immediately.

(9) Lower right pumpkin (lower right watermelon): For example, number 17 (replay) is valid for the left drum 2a, number 14 (white pumpkin) is valid for the middle drum 2b, and number 13 (red cherry) is valid for the right drum 2c. When they stop on the line, a pumpkin pattern is displayed on the lower right, and the lower right pumpkin wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is five.

(10) Upper right pumpkin (upper right watermelon): For example, number 13 (green pumpkin) is valid for the left drum 2a, number 19 (white pumpkin) is valid for the middle drum 2b, and number 3 (upper shin) is valid for the right drum 2c. When they stop on the line, a pumpkin pattern is displayed on the upper right corner, and the upper right pumpkin wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is five.

(11) Strong pumpkin (strong watermelon): For example, number 13 (green pumpkin) on the left drum 2a, number 19 (white pumpkin) on the middle drum 2b, and number 3 (lower shin) on the right drum 2c are effective lines. When the machines are stopped all together, a pumpkin pattern, an upper shin pattern, and a lower shin pattern are displayed on the upper right side, and a strong pumpkin wins. The number of medals (game media) to be obtained is five, and the two symbols, the upper symbol and the lower symbol, stop within the display window frame, which is impressive.

(12) Middle row replay: For example, the hand name when the number 18 (BAR) on the left drum 2a, the number 7 (Replay) on the middle drum 2b, and the number 5 (Replay) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. Although medals are not obtained in response to this, the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets for that game. It is effective even if the coins are collected continuously after the next game, and the game can be continued without consuming coins until the game in which the replay is not established. An effect of automatically inserting medals is performed before the start of the game, and the next game can be started by the player's operation of the start lever 9.例文帳に追加When a normal replay is independently won internally in a random number lottery, an RP flag corresponding to the flag area is set and a replay pattern is always displayed. Visually, the replay patterns are aligned horizontally in the center. The replay probability does not change even if the operating pattern of the replay A is displayed.

(13) Upper right replay: For example, when the number 7 (replay) on the left drum 2a, the number 2 (replay) on the middle drum 2b, and the number 16 (bell) on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line, A replay pattern is displayed on the upper right, and replay is activated in the same manner as normal replay.

(14) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): For example, left drum 2a (BAR), middle drum 2b (replay), number 12 (replay), and right drum 2c (white pumpkin) are aligned on the effective line. No medals are awarded for this, but the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets for that game. Visually, two replay symbols and a pumpkin symbol (Re-Re-Ka) are displayed in a straight line in the center. When the RT2 shift replay is internally won by random number lottery and the replay pattern is displayed, the replay 2 is activated and the replay probability is changed to about 2/3, and the state is shifted to the RT2 state.

(15) RT3 Transition Replay (Replay 3): For example, the hand name when the number 17 (Replay) on the left drum 2a, (Replay) on the middle drum 2b, and (Replay) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. Although medals are not obtained in response to this, the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets for that game. Visually, the bell pattern, the replay pattern, and the replay pattern (Be-Re-Re) are displayed in a straight line in the center. When the RT3 shift replay is internally won by random number lottery and the replay pattern is displayed, the replay 3 is activated and the replay probability changes to about 2/3, and the state shifts to the RT3 state. It should be noted that the RT3 state and the RT2 state differ in the type of replay combination to be drawn and the winning range.

(16) RT1 transition replay (replay 1): For example, number 17 (replay) is valid for the left drum 2a, number 16 (blue seven) for the middle drum 2b, and number 14 (white pumpkin) for the right drum 2c. This is the name of the role when the characters are aligned on the line, and although medals are not obtained in response to this, the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in that game. Visually, the replay patterns are aligned in a straight line at the bottom. When the RT1 shift replay is internally won by random number lottery and this replay pattern is displayed, the replay 1 is activated, the replay probability fluctuates, and the state shifts to the RT1 state (falling replay).

(17) Blue seven replay: For example, number 11 (replay) on the left drum 2a, number 16 (blue seven) on the middle drum 2b, and number 17 (blue seven) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. When it stops, the Blue Seven symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center, and the Blue Seven Replay role is activated. You can get a big privilege about the ART function.

(18) Cherry replay: For example, by the player's reverse push operation, number 19 (blue cherry) on the left drum 2a, (Any) on the middle drum 2b, and (Any) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. and stop, cherry replay is activated. There are three types of cherry replays: strong cherry, medium cherry, and weak cherry, and the player can obtain a great benefit for the ART function.

(19) Symbol replay (not shown): For example, by the player's reverse push operation, number 5 (white pumpkin) on the left drum 2a, number 4 (lower shin) on the middle drum 2b, and number 4 on the right drum 2c. When the number (lower shin) is aligned on the activated line and stopped, three completed symbol patterns are displayed on the upper tiers of all the reel drums, and symbol replay is activated. A player earns three game points. You can get a big privilege about the ART function.

(20) Koboshi (1 to m) of small push-order wins (bell-push order and cherry-push order): A special pattern displayed on the active line when the bell win is missed in a small push-order win described later. (Falling symbol), and when any one of the special symbols is displayed, the replay probability fluctuates, and the state shifts to the RT1 state. For example, when number 12 (replay) is displayed on the left drum 2a, number 4 (bell) on the middle drum 2b, and number 4 (replay) on the right drum 2c is displayed on the active line (falling pattern display), the game state is changed. It shifts to the RT1 state (others are omitted).

The main control unit 100 collectively manages a push-order minor win in which a plurality of minor wins are won at the same time and a push-order replay in which a plurality of replays are won at the same time as a group role (or a push-order group role). During the AT (when the assist function is not activated), even if either the push-order small win or the push-order replay is internally won, only the information that the group win is won is sent to the sub-control unit 160, so the sub-control unit 160 160 cannot recognize the correct pressing order. After the second stop operation, the main control section 100 transmits winning combination information to the sub-control section 160, and the sub-control section 160 performs an effect based on the winning combination information.

(21) Premier role (not shown): When the left drum 2a (lower shin), the middle drum 2b (upper shin), and the right drum 2c (upper shin) stop on the effective line, the premier role is played. Win a prize. The number of acquired medals (game media) is three. This premium role is a special role in which at least 10 pseudo-bonuses are won by lottery, and the pseudo-bonus is released immediately. Three completed symbol patterns are displayed on the bottom of all reel drums.

24 to 26 are combination tables (simultaneous winning patterns of small wins) of conditional devices for pushing-order small wins (left first, medium first, or right first).

The pressing order small combination means that when the order of operation of the stop button unit 10 (the order of pressing the stop button unit 10) is correct, a small combination of bell (lower right bell: small combination for winning a prize) or a cherry square (a small combination for winning a prize) is always played. )), while in the case of the incorrect answer procedure, when winning any one of a plurality of types of 9 small wins (27 kinds of hindrance small wins) that are simultaneously won, and when winning a plurality of koboshi eyes It is a duplicate winning small combination that sometimes displays one of the (dropped symbols of the obstructing small combination). Since this push-order small combination wins a prize in 1/3, it can be said to be a 3-choice small combination (1/3 winning small combination). That is, if the first operation is correct, a small bell win or a square cherry wins without fail.

In the pressing order bell role (left), the correct first stop operation is the left stop button 10a, and the subsequent operation may be either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c. Push order bell 1 is a one-time push order type push order small role, and the purpose is to win a prize. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, three types of 9-card small wins (FRU10, FRU23, FRU36) constituting the desired second small win group are simultaneously won (push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 24) See) There are 9 types of push order bell 1, from push order bell 1-1 to push order bell 1-9, so the player can look at the dots (stop symbols) of each reel to determine the 9-card combination. The stop button part 10 cannot be operated aiming at the pattern so as not to miss a role.

In the pressing order cherry combination (middle), the correct first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent operation may be either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c. The push-order cherry combination (middle) is a one-time push-order type push-order small combination, and the dividend is the same 1st small combination (corner cherry role: FRU2), which inhibits the winning of the 1st small combination for the purpose of winning. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, three types of 9-card small wins (FRU10, FRU23, FRU36) constituting the second small win group for the purpose of winning are simultaneously won (push order Cherry 2 in FIG. 25). -1) Pushing order cherry 2 and pushing order bell 1 differ only in the first small combination to be won.The pushing order cherry combination (middle) includes pushing order cherry 2-1 to pushing order cherry 2-. Since there are 9 types up to 9, the player cannot operate the stop button part 10 aiming at the pattern so as not to miss the hindering small combination of the 9-card combination by looking at the outcome (stop symbol) of each reel. Since the cherry symbol is displayed on the lower stage of the left drum 2a, the player has the impression of a lower stage cherry of a single-symbol small win, and there is no sense of incongruity.

In the pressing order cherry (right), the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent operation may be either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b. The push-order cherry combination (right) is a one-time push-order type push-order small combination, and the dividend is the same 1st small combination (corner cherry role: FRU3), which inhibits the winning of the 1st small combination for the purpose of winning. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, three types of 9-card small wins (FRU10, FRU23, FRU36) constituting the second small win group for the purpose of winning are simultaneously won (push order cherry 3 in FIG. 26). -1) Pushing order cherry 3 and pushing order bell 1 differ only in the first small combination to be won.The pushing order cherry combination (right) includes pushing order cherry 3-1 to pushing order cherry 3-. Since there are 9 types up to 9, the player cannot operate the stop button part 10 aiming at the pattern so as not to miss the hindrance small combination of the 9-card combination by looking at the outcome (stop symbol) of each reel. Since the cherry symbol is displayed on the lower stage of the left drum 2a, the player has the impression of a lower stage cherry in a single-symbol small win, and there is no sense of incongruity.

27 and 28 are schematic diagrams showing the pattern display state of the window in chronological order.

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the pushing order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. Win), and based on the operation order information (left 1st) stored correspondingly in the ROM 101, it is determined that the left operation order is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes stop calculation processing (processing for drawing in the FRU1 symbol on the left 1st) based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information. Create a sliding frame number table so that it can be stopped immediately even if is operated. Similarly, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, the sliding frame number table is created (see the description of FIG. 10).

FIG. 27A shows a state in which all the drums 2 are rotating from top to bottom at a constant speed. When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop button 10a of the correct operation order in the state of FIG. Based on this, the left drum 2a is stopped within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw any one of the upper shin pattern/BAR pattern/green pumpkin pattern into the effective line (simply, the drum section 2 is It is only moved by the number of sliding frames (see FIG. 27(B)). For example, the 18th BAR symbol is stopped on the active line, and the 16th bell symbol is displayed on the upper row. In the state of FIG. 27(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c is operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop button 10b, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames. The middle drum 2b is stopped, and a control is performed to draw the bell pattern (small combination clear pattern) into the effective line (see FIG. 27(C)). In the state of FIG. 27(C), FRU1 is tense, and the bell pattern (small winning clear pattern) is displayed in a straight line. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated, and when the right stop button 10c is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 , referring to the sliding frame number table, based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, the right drum 2c is stopped in the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and stop control is performed to draw the replay pattern into the effective line (Fig. 27(D)). As a result, if the first stop operation is correct, the FRU1 wins without fail, the bell pattern (small winning pattern) is displayed in a straight line downward to the right, and nine medals are paid out. However, although the bell patterns are visually displayed in a straight line, they may or may not be on the winning line.

FIG. 28 shows the case where the player performs the second stop operation on the right stop button 10c after performing the first stop operation on the left stop button 10a. , bell patterns (symbols indicating a small winning combination) are displayed in a straight line downward to the right, and nine medals are paid out. However, although the bell patterns are visually displayed in a straight line, they may or may not be on the winning line.

FIG. 29 is a schematic diagram showing the pattern display state of the window in chronological order. However, since FIG. 29A is the same as FIG. 27A, redundant description is omitted.

When the player performs the first stop operation on the right stop button 10c of the incorrect operation order in the state of FIG. Based on the data, the right drum 2c is stopped within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and control is performed to ensure that any one of the BAR pattern, blue seven pattern, or green pumpkin pattern is pulled into the effective line (Fig. 29 ( B)). Therefore, any one of the three small hindrance symbols always stops on the activated line. In this case, since the BAR symbol is stopped on the activated line, only FRU10 can win at this point, and the bell symbol (symbol indicating minor combination) is stopped on the upper right row.

In the state of FIG. 29(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b is operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and, based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, moves left in the range of 0 to 4 frames. The drum 2a is stopped, and if there is a BAR pattern within the pull-in range, stop control is performed to draw the pattern into the effective line (see FIG. 29(C)). The 18th BAR symbol can be drawn when there are 5 symbols of 18th to 2nd on the active line, so the winning probability is 25% (5/20). If the 18th BAR symbol cannot be pulled in, the losing symbol is stopped on the active line, and at the third stop, the obstructing symbol (RT fluctuation trigger symbol) is displayed.

In the state of FIG. 29(C), the FRU 10 is tense, and two bell symbols (symbols indicating a minor combination) are displayed in a straight line in the upper part of the display window. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the player performs the third stop operation of the middle stop button 10b, the main control The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and performs control to draw the blue seven pattern to the effective line (Fig. 29(D)). In the figure, the FRU 10 wins, the bell pattern (symbol indicating minor combination) is displayed in a straight line on the upper stage, and 9 medals are paid out. The 16th blue seven symbol can be drawn in when there are 16th to 20th symbols on the active line, so the winning probability is 25% (5/20). On the other hand, when the blue seven pattern cannot be pulled into the effective line, a koboshi pattern of an impeding hand (pushing order small hand) is displayed (not shown). It should be noted that when the middle stop button 10b of the incorrect operation order is operated in the first stop, the same stop control is performed, so the explanation is omitted.

30 and 31 are schematic diagrams showing the pattern display state of the window in chronological order. However, since FIG. 30(A) is the same as FIG. 27(A), redundant description will be omitted.

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the push order cherry 2-1 shown in FIG. Win), and based on the operation order information (middle 1st) stored correspondingly in the ROM 101, it is determined that the middle operation order is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes stop calculation processing (processing for drawing in FRU2 symbols in the middle 1st stage) based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information. Create a sliding frame number table so that it can be stopped immediately even if is operated. Similarly, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, the sliding frame number table is created (see the description of FIG. 10).

In the state of FIG. 30(A), when the player performs the first stop operation of the middle stop button 10b in the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding piece number table and based on the corresponding sliding piece number data. Then, the middle drum 2b is stopped within the range of 0th frame to 4th frame, and control is performed so that, for example, the number 5 bell pattern is pulled into the effective line. In the state of FIG. 30(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c is operated. When the player performs the second stop operation on the right stop button 10c, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames. The right drum 2c is stopped and control is performed to draw the replay symbols into the active line (see FIG. 30(C)). In the state of FIG. 30(C), the FRU2 is tense and the bell pattern (small winning clear pattern) is displayed in a straight line. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the left stop button 10a may be operated, and when the left stop button 10a is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 , referring to the sliding frame number table, based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, the right drum 2c is stopped within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and any one of the lower thin symbol/red cherry symbol/blue cherry symbol is displayed. to the effective line (see FIG. 30(D)). As a result, if the first stop operation is correct, FRU2 wins without fail, and cherry symbols (small wins of specific single symbols: lower shin symbol/red cherry symbol/blue cherry symbol) are displayed on the lower stage of the left reel. 9 medals will be paid out. Therefore, the player feels that he has won a prize with a single check (square cherry), so he does not feel uncomfortable at all. Here, the small combination of a specific single symbol means a small combination that impresses the player with (cherry, any, any).

FIG. 31 shows the case where the player performs the second stop operation on the left stop button 10a after performing the first stop operation on the middle stop button 10b. , a cherry pattern or a symbol pattern (a small combination of a specific single pattern) is displayed on the lower stage of the left reel (displayed in a winning mode of a small combination of single patterns), and 9 medals are paid out.

FIG. 32 is a schematic diagram showing the pattern display state of the window in chronological order. However, since FIG. 32(A) is the same as FIG. 27(A), redundant description will be omitted.

When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop button 10a of the incorrect operation order in the state of FIG. Based on the data, the right drum 2c is stopped within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and control is performed to ensure that any one of the BAR pattern, the upper shin pattern, or the green pumpkin pattern is pulled into the effective line (Fig. 32 ( B)). Therefore, any one of the three small hindrance symbols always stops on the activated line. In this case, since the BAR symbol is stopped on the activated line, only FRU10 can win at this point, and the bell symbol (symbol indicating minor combination) is stopped on the upper left.

In the state of FIG. 32(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c is operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the right stop button 10c, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, right in the range of 0 to 4 frames. The drum 2c is stopped, and if there is a BAR pattern within the pull-in range, stop control is performed to draw the pattern into the effective line (see FIG. 32(C)). The 12th BAR symbol can be drawn in when there are 5 symbols of 12th to 16th on the active line, so the draw-in probability is 25% (5/20). If the 12th BAR symbol cannot be pulled in, the losing symbol is stopped on the effective line, and at the third stop, the impeding symbol (RT fluctuation trigger symbol) is displayed.

In the state shown in FIG. 32(C), the FRU 10 is tense, and two bell symbols (symbols indicating a minor combination) are displayed in a straight line in the upper part of the display window. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the player performs the third stop operation of the middle stop button 10b, the main control The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and performs control to draw the blue seven pattern to the effective line (Fig. 32(D)). In the figure, the FRU 10 wins, the bell pattern (symbol indicating minor combination) is displayed in a straight line on the upper stage, and 9 medals are paid out. The 17th blue seven symbol can be drawn when the 16th to 20th symbols are on the active line, so the winning probability is 25% (5/20). On the other hand, when the blue seven pattern cannot be pulled into the activated line, the humpback pattern (for example, BAR pattern, bell pattern, BAR pattern) of the obstructing hand (push order small hand) is displayed (not shown). Note that the same stop control logic applies to the right-first incorrect operation, so the explanation is omitted. Also, since the same stop control logic is applied to the right-first correct push order cherry combination (right), a description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 33 is a game state transition diagram (RT state).

RT0 in the figure is the initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination (replay combination) does not change, and is the game or real bonus game (BB1 to BB2: From the next game after the end of the type 1 accessory continuous actuating device, the normal game is started in the initial state (also referred to as "initial replay state"). The replay winning probability (replay probability) in this general game is about 1/7.3. Since there is no winning, in order to move from this state to RT1, the above-mentioned koboshi of the pushing order small combination must be displayed on the activated line. On the other hand, even if BB1 (bonus 1) or BB2 (bonus 2) is activated by internal winning, symbol display, or ends with payout exceeding the predetermined number, RT4, bonus game, RT0 only, so this route also shifts to RT1. It is not possible.

In a general game in the RT0 state, a small winning combination (Bell winning combination or Cherry winning combination) is internally won, and the stop operation procedure of the stop button 10 is missed, so that the koboshi pattern is displayed on the active line. Then, the RT1 state is entered from the next game (the number of games to be continued is not defined, that is, infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1/7.3, and most of the combinations shown in FIG. In other words, the game in the initial state and the RT1 state have almost the same replay probability of about 1/7.3, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is the RT1 state. However, in this initial state, RT1-transition replay to RT3-transition replay are not won, so the transition from RT1 state to RT3 state cannot be performed unless the koboshi pattern is displayed on the activated line.

When the RT2 shift replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state and the operating pattern is displayed on the activated line, the replay probability fluctuates and shifts to the RT2 state, but the replay probability is almost the same, about 1/ It is still 7.3 and often fails.

In the RT1 transition replay (replay 1), when the player operates the stop button part 10, if the 6-option pressing order is accidentally correct and the RT3 transition replay is activated, the RT3 state is transitioned to, so RT1 is quickly performed. It has a function (that is, the same function as Koboshi eyes) for dropping into a state (fall replay).

When RT3 shift replay (replay 3) is won internally in RT2 state, and the 6-option pressing order is correct and the operating pattern is displayed on the effective line, the replay probability is approximately the same, about 1/1.5 RT3 state. becomes. Also, the RT3 state differs from the RT1 state and the RT2 state in that the type of winning replay combination and the size of the winning area are different. Then, the winning range of the replay combination is narrowed to give a losing range of 655/65536 (approximately 1/100). The reason for this is that it is possible to give the player a sense of anticipation by giving the player the illusion of a winning roll by making a losing roll. When the bell-like koboshi is displayed on the activated line in the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the state falls to the RT1 state. In addition, in the RT2 state, in order not to fall to the RT1 state, the RT1 transition replay is not won. On the other hand, in the RT3 state, either BB1 or BB2 is internally won by the player by winning the RT1 transition replay at the same time as one of BB1 to BB2 and shifting to the RT4 state without shifting to the RT1 state. It is designed to inform (specific action effect).

Real bonuses (Bonus 1 to Bonus 2) can be won in the initial state, RT1 state, RT2 state and RT3 state, but since they are won at the same time as a minor combination or a replay combination, they must go through the RT4 state inside the bonus. Or become a prize-winning state. In bonus 1, when the BAR pattern is aimed at each drum in a single winning state, the BAR patterns appear to line up in a straight line rising to the right and stop, and the number of payouts exceeds the prescribed number after activation (after the bonus 1 game is played). and return to the initial replay state. The RT4 state is a state in which the bonuses 1 to 2 are internally won (bonus carry-over state), and in this state, if the loser is drawn, the bonus 1 pattern to the bonus 2 pattern can be aligned. The reason for this is that the main control unit 100 gives priority to the internal winning replay symbol over the BAR symbol (bonus symbol), and the internal winning small winning symbol over the BAR symbol. This is because the drum section 2 is stopped and controlled so as to pull it onto the line.

FIG. 34 is a game state transition diagram (effect state) and a normal mode number calculation table. FIG. 35 is an explanatory diagram of game states (game mode numbers) managed by the main control unit. FIG. 36 is an explanatory diagram of zone processing in various modes.

The main control unit 100 is in charge of controlling the payout performance, determines all game states (game mode numbers) shown in FIG. game state information) is notified to the sub control unit 160. On the other hand, the sub-control section 160 is in charge of controlling effects, and only executes various effects based on the game state information received from the main control section 100, and is irrelevant to the payout performance.

The main control unit 100 manages the game state in 16 states of mode number 0 to mode number 15. Mode number 0 is the normal state, mode number 1 is the CZ precursor state, mode number 2 is the CZ state, and mode number 3. is the normal battle waiting state, mode number 4 is the normal battle (during the real battle) state, mode number 5 is the normal battle (after the real battle) state, mode number 6 is the ART state, mode number 7 is the ART judge Game state, mode number 8 is a special state with hearts added, mode number 9 is a curse OPT state, mode number 10 is an ART fighting party waiting state, mode number 11 is an ART fighting party (during actual battle) state, mode number 12 is Mode number 13 is the post-martial arts OPT state, mode number 14 is the premier bonus state, and mode number 15 is the ending state. Note that OPT is a registered trademark of the applicant and means "Oshiri, Pen Pen, Time".

In the normal state of mode number 0, the expected degree of acquisition of CZ winning points is changed by managing the number of games. The CZ precursor state of mode number 1 is the CZ latent state, and shifts to the CZ state of mode number 2 after a predetermined game determined by lottery. In the CZ state, a game is played in the chance zone of 20G, and ART winning is achieved when winning conditions are cleared by acquired points. The mode number 3 normal fighting meeting standby state is normally transferred when a real bonus is won in the CZ premonition, during CZ, or during the normal fighting meeting (after the actual battle).

Mode No. 4, the normal martial arts (during real battle) state, is a battle game state in which the main character's HP (hit points) and the opponent's HP are reduced. The main character's HP will decrease during the actual battle, but it will never drop to 0. By setting the opponent's HP to 0, it becomes an ART election and shifts to ART preparation. If you win before the end of the real boss, a heart stock lottery will be held to win hearts (game benefits) until the end of the real boss. Mode number 5, the normal martial arts (after the actual battle) state, is a section in which the actual battle has ended and no conclusion has been reached. If the hero loses, he always loses in this game section. By setting the opponent's HP to 0, it becomes ART winning and shifts to ART preparation.

The ART state of mode number 6 is an ART game called Shinkon Seikatsu, and the number of games is managed. When the remaining game is 0, the state is shifted to the mode number 7 ART judge game state. The ART game has a game feature of obtaining hearts, which are a privilege in the game. In the ART judge game state, games are played as many times as the number of hearts, and a win-lose lottery is executed each time. If you run out of hearts and become 0, you will return to normal.

The special state of adding hearts of mode number 8 is a game in which hearts are added after shifting from the replay series during ART. A minimum of 2 G is guaranteed, and after that, the continuation lottery continues when the continuation condition is satisfied (average 5 G). The curse OPT state of mode number 9 acquires points when a rare combination is established and nothing is won, and shifts to a certain point or more. Execute the prince's curse OPT (OPT for sister characters) and add the number of games. It is fixed at 1G. The ART battle waiting state of mode number 10 is a game state that is shifted to when a real bonus is won after the ART preparation is in progress.

Mode number 11, ART-time martial arts (during real battle) state, is a battle game state in which the main character's HP and the opponent's HP are reduced. The main character's HP will decrease during the actual battle, but it will never drop to 0. By reducing the opponent's HP to 0, OPT is confirmed. When the actual bo is finished, the game shifts to the OPT game. If you win before the real boss ends, you accumulate and add damage points until the real boss ends. Mode 12, ART-time martial arts meeting (after real boxing), is a game section in which the game is not settled even after the actual boxing ends. If the hero loses, he always loses in this game section. By setting the opponent's HP to 0, it shifts to the OPT game.

In the post-martial arts OPT state of mode number 13, the player wins the martial arts tournament, performs OPT against the defeated opponent character, and adds the number of games. It is fixed at 1G. The premier bonus state of mode number 14 is a premier game entered in a part of the fighting tournament, and a premier flag is raised. Perform OPT for four people with characters 1 to 4 as opponents. The middle cherry is guaranteed a premium. Mode number 15 is the ending state to which the boss character 5 is defeated.

When the step setting value is reset, the main control unit 100 executes setting change processing, clears and sets various data according to the setting value, and initializes it, so that the player can start the normal game. . In this setting change process, first, a number-of-games starting point lottery at the time of setting change is executed, and a lottery for the position (number of games) of the number of elapsed games in the table managing the CZ expected value is performed. A normal mode number is determined for each game number range, and the "through number" is determined by lottery. For example, if 8 is selected as the pass number by lottery, the main control unit 100 selects the data "256" immediately before the ending game "288" corresponding to the pass number 8 as the number of played games. This number of elapsed games is also called the number of completed games, and corresponds to the distance to the ceiling game, so it is advantageous for the player to select a large value. Assuming that the ceiling game is 777 games and the number of games played is 256 games, the ceiling is reached in the remaining 521 games (777 games−256 games) (ceiling reached state).

The number of elapsed games is incremented by 1 when the lever is effectively operated in the non-bonus state and during normal and CZ precursors, and is cleared to 0 when transitioned to ART. However, 1 is added in the game in which a bonus is won. The main control unit 100 sequentially subtracts the number of games from the current number of games played, starting with No. 0, and sets the value of the normal No corresponding to the value of 0 or less as the mode No. For example, if the number of played games is 112 games, 32 games corresponding to No. 0 are subtracted to obtain 80 games. Since the value is not less than 0, the main control unit 100 subtracts 32 games corresponding to No. 1 from 80 games to obtain 48 games. Since the value is not less than 0, the main control section 100 subtracts 32 games corresponding to No. 2 from the 48 games to obtain 16 games. Since the value is not less than 0, the main control unit 100 subtracts 32 games corresponding to No. 3 from the 16 games to obtain -16 games. Since the value is 0 or less, the main control unit 100 sets the normal mode number "3" corresponding to the threading number 3 as the mode value. There are four normal mode numbers, 0 to 3, and the larger the value, the easier it is to accumulate points for shifting to CZ (chance zone). When 100 points are reached, the shift to CZ is confirmed.

Next, the main control unit 100 executes a "curse PT lottery" and a "normal point lottery" for CZ winning when changing settings. For example, the main control unit 100 sets a "curse point" by adding a predetermined value of "2" to a numerical value selected by lottery in the range of 0-7. In addition, the main control unit 100 sets a "normal point" by adding a predetermined value "36" to the numerical value selected by lottery from 0 to 63. As a result, normal points range from 36 points to 99 points. As the processing of the ceiling game described above, when the ART interval reaches 777G (the number of games that have passed), the ceiling is reached, but the CZ clear is confirmed and the fighting party clear is confirmed. In other words, when the state reaches the ceiling, the transition condition is satisfied, and the transition to the CZ game is cleared and the game is won. In addition, when the ceiling is reached, the transition condition is satisfied, and the battle is transitioned to the battle, the battle is cleared and the player wins. In the case of CZ, the result of the CZ clear point lottery after 777G is set to 0, and in the case of the fighting party, the HP of the enemy is set to 0 when the bonus is won after 777G. Therefore, the CZ judge game after 777G always succeeds.

The RT2 state described with reference to FIG. 33 is used as a "Tsundere zone" when the state is shifted to the normal state. If there is a transition from here to another RT state, the "Tsundere Zone" ends (see FIG. 36). When the RT3 state is normally entered and the reverse push Cinderella replay is won during the RT3 state, it becomes a "Cinderella zone", and the winning rare role (replay) and the push order bell are completely navigated for 10 games. There is a zone status flag, 1 means "Tsundere Zone" and 2 means "Cinderella Zone". Replay A (RT2 transfer reply) is not a choice, and replay A wins regardless of the order of pressing. Replay B (RT3 shift reply) has 6 correct answers and shifts to RT3. Keep RT for incorrect answers. Replay C (RT1 transition reply) is a three-choice correct answer and keeps RT. Move to RT1 with an incorrect answer.
RT1 and ART preparation flag is 1, processing when Lip A is pulled, processing whether to make Tsundere state when Lip B1 is pulled in RT3, Cinderella zone when pulling Cinderella Lip The processing for this, the conversion processing for the reverse pressed cherry, and the processing for determining whether or not to subtract the remaining games in the zone are as shown in FIG.

“Normal time, lottery during CZ omen”: Normal point lottery is executed. Normally, since the normal point reference table number can be calculated from the fixed value table, normal point lottery for CZ winning is performed using it. Points obtained by multiplying this table by a value that can be calculated from the fixed value table are obtained. If the normal points exceed 100, subtract 100 from the normal points and add 1 to the CZ stock counter. It becomes CZ winning and shifts to "CZ Omen" from the next game.

Lottery for the number of latent games when winning CZ: Lottery for the number of games to be played (CZ omen) when CZ is won normally and shifts to (CZ omen). Conversely, if the CZ stock counter is 1 or more when returning to normal, the number of games will be drawn by lottery. The number of CZ precursor games is 1G subtracted when the substate is CZ precursor and non-internal. In the next game when it becomes 0G, it shifts to (CZ).

Clear point lottery when CZ is won: CZ clear points are drawn by lottery when the lottery for the number of latent games is performed when CZ is won. In the point acquisition lottery in the CZ, the points in the CZ are accumulated and added, and when the CZ clear point is reached, the CZ is successful and shifts to ART. If the number of games that have passed under normal conditions is 777 games, the clear points are set to 0.

Lottery during CZ: A chance zone where a fixed number of 20G points for a predetermined number of games are accumulated and judged. You can select 4 types of effects (characters). In the middle of CZ, there is a chance to rush into a ball. In that case, the accumulated CZ points and clear points will be added to the damage dealt. Damage dealt = Enemy HP - (clear points - CZ middle points). If you lose the battle, you will not return to CZ and return to normal, but if you have CZ stock, shift to CZ Omen. When the CZ begins, the CZ remaining games are set to 20 and the CZ stock counter is also decremented by one. The number of CZ remaining games is decremented by 1 when the game is non-internal and does not become internal. After the next game after the game in which the CZ middle point reaches the CZ clear point, a heart stock lottery, which will be described later, is performed. If the clear point has been reached when the number of remaining CZ games becomes 0, the next game is shifted to ART. If the clear point has not been reached, or if there is a CZ stock, shift to CZ precursor.

Lottery for points in CZ: Points are selected by lottery, and a numerical value obtained by multiplying them by a value that can be calculated from a fixed value table is added to the points in CZ. At the time of the CZ final game, if the CZ middle point is equal to or higher than the CZ clear point, ART is won, and the game shifts to ART. If the pushing order bell is won and no payment is made, points will be drawn as a loss. On the other hand, if there is a payout, points will be drawn by lottery for the winning hand group for Bell. However, when navigating the pressing order of the bell, it is treated as a winning hand group for the bell regardless of the payout. The final game of CZ is judged at the time of the lever, and is treated as a winning hand group for the bell, in which the bell is won in the pressing order.
Processing inside the bonus: (Normal time), (CZ precursor), (CZ), (Normal ball (after real battle) If it becomes inside the real bonus at the time, it will shift to the normal fighting party standby. , ART ~ Judge, and when the actual bonus is inside at the time of the ART tournament (actual Bo), it shifts to the ART tournament standby.

Waiting process for normal fighting tournament: During the interval (inside) until the bonus that shifts to normal time is aligned, the lottery related to the ball output is not executed. When all the bonuses are obtained, the transfer destination becomes the normal fighting tournament or the premium BB.

ART fighting meeting standby processing: In the interval (inside) until the bonus to be transferred at ART is aligned, the lottery related to the output ball is not executed. As a special process, in the case of a bonus win and a win with G during a normal martial arts tournament (after the actual battle), 100 damage is dealt with the bonus win. The game shifts to the normal battle waiting mode, and without changing the character, an introductory movie of the character is played at the start of the real game. When the martial arts meeting (real bo) is over, it shifts to ART. Initially, it is 40G, and a heart stock lottery will be held while the real bo is digested.

ART processing: It is called Shinkon Seikatsu, and it is a game feature in which a female character lives together with a prince character and accumulates hearts. When there are no remaining games left, the game shifts to the judge game. When the rare role is won, a lottery for Heartstock addition will be performed, and a lottery will be performed to move to the Heartstock specialized zone in the replay (continuous replay). In addition, a lottery for an OPT for adding the number of games called a curse OPT is also conducted. Only at the start of ART from normal (so-called first hit), the process of adding one heart is performed.

Heart type lottery: When entering ART for the first time, when obtaining heart during ART, when obtaining heart when specializing in heart addition, lottery of type will be performed. Only the first one is stored as the type, and after that, only the number is managed. The maximum number is 255+1. As for the type, a lottery is also performed when the stock is consumed due to failure during the judge game. After the number of games of ART becomes 0, this "heart" shifts to the judge game, and performs continuous judgment of 1G for each heart held. There are types of hearts, and six types of continuation rates are fixed and determined for each character. A continuation lottery is performed based on the continuation rate set for the heart to be used, and when the continuation is won, an additional lottery is performed to return to ART. If you succeed (if you win the continuation), you can use the heart you are using again next time without consuming it. In other words, theoretically, if you have one heart, you can return to ART forever. If the continuation lottery fails, 1 is subtracted from the heart, and when the heart reaches 0, the ART ends and the game shifts to normal. If the continuation lottery fails but there are still hearts (one or more), the next game will be a judge game again. Since the continuation rate is added according to the winning combination in the judge game, the continuation rate may exceed 100% depending on the winning combination. In that case, success is confirmed. In addition, when the judge succeeds, a carryover continuation rate addition lottery is performed according to the winning combination, so the more successful, the higher the continuation rate. However, the maximum value of heart continuation rate + carryover continuation rate is 70%. On the other hand, when the judge game fails, the carry-over continuation rate is cleared to zero.

Heart stock addition lottery: During ART, a heart stock addition lottery is performed according to the established hand group. When one or more heart stocks are won and the heart type is not set, the heart type is set by lottery. On the other hand, if the heart type is set, the lottery value is added to the heart stock. The heart stock lottery trigger is during ART, during the martial arts (real Bo), from the next game when the enemy HP is 0 to the end of the real Bo, the next game exceeding the clear point during CZ ~ until the CZ ends, Premier During the four game states during the bonus.

Curse point addition lottery: A lottery is executed when the Heartstock addition lottery is not won and the Martial Arts Tournament (Type 1 BB) is not won. Points to be added to the curse points are drawn by lottery, and the rarer the winning role is, the higher the points to be added. The lottery is also executed when the bonus is won, but 0 points are always selected so that the bonus is won and curse points are not acquired. When the setting is changed, the curse points start with a value drawn from 0 to 7 plus 2, and when it reaches 10 points, 10 points are subtracted, the curse OPT is won, and the next game shifts to the curse OPT. The curse OPT itself ends at 1G. At the end of ART, curse points are carried over without clearing.

Lottery for special zone with added hearts for each replay run: During the non-bonus period, a lottery is conducted to determine whether or not to shift to a specialized zone with added hearts for every 5 or more consecutive replay wins (maximum of 8). When the lottery is won, the replay series is cleared to 0, and the next game is shifted to the heart special zone. The special zone continues for 2G or more (continuous lottery). Rip-ren is not cleared with a rare role. However, when the current sub-state (production state) shifts to another sub-state, the replay is cleared. If you win replay B1, you will be in a 100% tsundere state during non-zone & RT3.

Cinderella zone lottery during ART: If it is not Tsundere zone or Cinderella zone in ART, this lottery will be performed when the reverse push Cinderella replay (including tenpai loser) is won. If you win, reverse push navigation will appear, but if Cinderella is complete, it will be a Cinderella zone (fixed 10G) from the next game. The probability of reverse push navigation when winning a reverse push cherry type Lip (weak / medium / strong) is higher than the tsundere zone (fixed by logic is 100%). At the time of winning the reverse push cherry replay, (1) normal → no reverse push, (2) Tsundere → 25% navigation, (3) Cinderella → 100% navigation.

As a process for transitioning to ART, when there are few remaining ART games, hearts are added, or when returning to ART after transitioning to an ART martial arts tournament (real bo), when the remaining ART game is less than 5G, ART remaining Overwrite the game with 5G. For the ART remaining game, 1 is subtracted during ART and non-internal (BB winning game is subtracted). "5G" is set as the opening game when transitioning to ART, and during the opening, if the curse points add up to 9 or more, they are overwritten with 9. The number of remaining ART games is decremented as a process for not transitioning to the curse OPT.

In the lottery during the ART judge game, a continuous lottery is performed using hearts, and one game can be executed per one heart. If the continuation succeeds, the heart remains, which is advantageous to the player. If the continuation fails, one heart is consumed, and if the heart runs out, the ART ends. The heart when inside the bonus is confirmed to continue. A fixed continuation rate is determined for each type of heart. A continuation lottery will be held with the total continuation rate of the role won in the G and the total continuation rate of the handover (fixed continuation rate + role continuation rate + carryover continuation rate), and if successful, the judge continuation rate addition lottery described later. is added to the overtime continuation rate and carried over to the next time. The upper limit of the carry-over is 70% at maximum, and when it exceeds 70%, it is rewritten to 70%, and the continuation rate of the winning combination in the G is added, and the continuation lottery is performed.

Judge continuation rate addition lottery: When the judge game is successful, the value to be added to the "carry-over continuation rate" is determined by lottery according to the winning combination. The "carry-over continuation rate" will be carried over to the next judge, so the total continuation rate that is the sum of the results of the "carry-over continuation rate", "heart continuation rate", and "fixed continuation rate of the next winning role" will be the next continuation rate. Perform a rate lottery.

Lottery for the number of additional games by heart: When the judgment is successful with hearts, a lottery for the number of additional games is executed according to the type of heart.

Ceiling during the judge game: Has a judge failure counter, which is initially 0. Each time the judgment fails, the number is added, and when the number reaches 10 (the next judgment that has failed 9 times in total will always be a success), the process of rewriting the judgment to success is executed. During ART, the counter is not cleared even if the judge succeeds. However, it is cleared to 0 when the ceiling succeeds. 0 clear processing is executed when returning to normal.

Lottery in zone specializing in adding hearts: It is a zone where you can always get the hearts used in the judge game, and basically it is designed to continue for several games. A minimum of 2G is guaranteed, after which a continuous lottery will be held. However, if the bonus is won, the game is forcibly terminated and 10 hearts are obtained as a benefit.

In the lottery for the number of hearts to be added, a lottery for the number of hearts to be added is executed according to the winning combination. In the heart-adding specialization continuation lottery, if the player has not won an internal bonus or has not won a bonus, a lottery is executed as to whether or not to continue the heart-adding specialization zone. If you win the lottery, the zone specializing in adding hearts will continue. As a process when a bonus is won, a process of doubling (predetermined times) the heart stock obtained in the heart-addition special zone is executed in order to compensate for the heart-addition lottery not performed. Also, after adding at least 10 hearts, the heart specialization ends and the ART fighting party waits.

As a lottery during the curse OPT, a character lottery at the time of the curse OPT: A character to perform the OPT is drawn from among allied characters.

Continuation rate lottery for each OPT table number: For each character, a lottery for the continuation rate to be used in the OPT is performed for each OPT table number determined according to the minor winning combination. There are about 10 types of table numbers.

Lottery for number of games with OPT 1 pen: The main control unit 100 transmits to the sub-control unit 160 the number of additional games for each operation of the operation button (one pen). The main control section 100 similarly transmits the number of additional games to the sub-control section 160 when an armor break occurs (two breaks and a final negative shot).

Lottery for the number of games to be added at the time of armor break: A lottery for the number of games to be added is executed each time the durability count of the armor (fixed value table) becomes 0 for each character. Armor has two levels and is fixed for each character. As the third stage, the final negative shot endurance value and the number of games to be played are drawn separately.

Final negative shot armor durability value lottery: Determined by lottery to determine the durability value of the third stage of armor. When the pen is played for the number of times corresponding to the durability value, the final negative shot is successful, and the number of additional games is selected by lottery. This value is displayed in large addition at the end of OPT.

Lottery during OPT after martial arts meeting: Basically, using the same table as the curse OPT, the number of additional games will be drawn. OPT is executed using the enemy character No. that was fighting. The transition destination after OPT ends changes depending on the RT status. If it is RT0 to RT2, it shifts to ART preparation, while if it is RT3, it shifts to ART.

At the martial arts meeting, a battle effect is displayed in which HP of allies and enemies is reduced, and a lottery is executed during the martial arts meeting. During the actual bonus (about 21G), it will be in the state after returning to the initial state. If victory or defeat has not been decided at the end of the actual bonus, the battle continues even after returning to the non-internal state. Sub-states are divided into martial arts (in real) and martial arts (non-internal). Furthermore, since the roles are different during normal operation and during ART, the sub-states are divided. In normal times, if you fight against an enemy character and defeat the enemy, ART will be confirmed. During ART, if you play against an enemy character and defeat the enemy, the OPT will be confirmed. Your own HP is fixed at 100, and enemy HP is also fixed at 100. On the other hand, if it is in a free state, it is changed to 50 to 80 for each character. As a process during the actual bonus, your HP will only decrease to 1, so you will not lose during the actual bonus.

Enemy character lottery at the start of the martial arts party: During normal or ART, the character to fight will be determined by lottery according to the number of battles. If this lottery is performed at 5 battles, the number of battles is set to 1, while if the enemy boss is defeated, the number of battles remains at 1.

HP subtraction lottery at the start of the normal fighting party: If you win during CZ, a lottery will be performed to reduce the character HP based on the points earned by CZ. The table changes according to the difference between clear points and earned points. Normally, this lottery is not executed.

Lottery of damage dealt: A lottery of damage to be given to the enemy is performed according to the number (fixed value table) for each established role group and enemy character. Since the multiplier is assigned to each number, the damage dealt is the value multiplied by the multiplier. As a magnification, I have two for the normal fighting party and the ART fighting party. During the actual battle, (1) Bell (attacker), (2) Beberi (control change bell), (3) Replay, (4) Reverse push seven aligned, (5) Reverse push seven not aligned, (6) Weak There is medium-strong cherry replay, and (7) reverse push weak medium-strong cherry replay. During the actual battle, if the damage dealt by Beberi is 0, a damage drawing lottery is performed. After the end of the real game, if the damage dealt is 0 at the time of losing, a damage lottery is performed.

Damage lottery: Beberi or when it is not internal, when the damage dealt is 0, a lottery of the damage to be dealt is performed for each enemy character. As the main lottery condition, a lottery will be held for the damage received when the damage is 0 and the replay or bell is not performed. However, the damage lottery will not be held in the 1st G of the Martial Arts Tournament.

Seven treatment lottery by remaining HP: If you have not beaten your opponent, draw a lottery whether or not you will treat it as Seven when you pull the reverse push Seven matching lip according to your HP. If the player wins the prize, the type of winning combination such as the damage dealt lottery is changed, and the damage dealt is set to 100, so that the victory is determined.

Invincible lottery when entering the martial arts meeting: When entering the martial arts meeting, an invincible lottery is performed according to the enemy character, and if you win this, your HP will not become 0 at the martial arts meeting (after the actual battle), so the victory will be confirmed.

HP recovery lottery by fighting party replay: A lottery will be held to determine whether or not you will recover HP when replaying during the fighting party. When winning, the HP for the lottery value is added. As a process for defeating the ART Martial Arts Tournament, when you are defeated in the ART Martial Arts Tournament (after the actual battle) and return to the next game ART, 1 is added to the curse point, so from the next game after the opening to the curse OPT Transition.

Premier type lottery: If a freeze occurs at the start of the bonus, it will be a premium bonus, and the OPT of 4 people will be confirmed, and the expected value of the acquired number will be 3000. In the case of a lottery at the time of winning the bonus and middle stage cherry + BB, a premium lottery is executed at the start of the fighting party. At the start of the fighting party, a lottery is drawn to determine whether or not to shift to the premier state, and if the winner is selected, the sub state shifts to the premier fighting party. At the premiere ball, a 4-person OPT is performed, and at the time of the last 4 bells out of 17 bell payouts, fixed value data is set for characters 1 to 4 according to the winning role, OPT processing is executed with the lottery value. Regarding the middle cherry, when you win, the bonus will be confirmed and the premier fighting party will be confirmed at the same time. Since the premier martial arts competition will be won during ART, the expected number of premier tickets will be 3000.

At the ART Martial Arts Tournament, when the boss character (5th character) is defeated, the ending state is entered. The ending state is fixed to 5G, and if a bonus is drawn on the way, the game ends at that point. After finishing, move to ART.

FIG. 37 is a flow chart (see FIG. 37B) showing the special addition screen (see FIG. 37A) and the processing procedure of the special addition lottery. Also, FIG. 38 is a schematic diagram of a special add-on screen (screen of add-on game 2). In addition, special addition means OPT.

When an add-on game (any OPT) is selected in this add-on game, the main control unit 100 sets the puncture rate (or the loop rate or continuation rate, which is the continuation decision probability), which is the probability of termination decision. Then, the addition loop lottery process for determining the addition value is executed using the addition lottery table. The puncture rate and continuation rate are inversely related, and the puncture rate is 5% (decided to end once out of 20 times) and the continuation rate is 95% (decided to continue 19 times out of 20), only in terms of expression. and are actually synonymous.

During the ART game, which is an advantageous game, if an enemy character is defeated or if a predetermined point is obtained (for example, 1000 points are obtained), an additional condition (additional Start condition of game 2) is established. In addition, it is established by winning the ART lottery during BB or by accomplishing a mission such as winning a prize three times in a predetermined game during ART.

The main control unit 100 calls this subroutine when a special top-up condition (top-up game 2) is established in an ART game (advantageous game) and a special top-up lottery process is executed (see FIG. 37(B)). . When shifting to step S200, the main control unit 100 selects one character to be used for this special addition lottery by lottery from among a plurality of enemy characters. Then, when proceeding to step S200, the main control unit 100 executes a lottery for the type of addition to determine normal addition or special addition. This special add-on has special add-on 1 to special add-on 3, special add-on 1 (speed add-on) extracts two random numbers and executes the extra game number lottery twice, special add-on 2 (power add-on) One random number is extracted to double the result of the lottery for the number of games to be added, and the special addition 3 (technique addition) reduces the character's HP (hit points) four times more than the normal addition. In this case, the leftmost character A is selected from 6 characters, and normal addition is determined by lottery. The additional mode is designed to be recognized by the player by the type of stick held by the character A (commonly referred to as a "pen pen stick"). In other words, in the case of normal addition, the normal stick shown in the figure is displayed, but with special addition 1, the speed stick is displayed, with special addition 2, the power stick is displayed, and with special addition 3, the technique stick is displayed. Is displayed.

A guaranteed number of games lottery table is provided according to the selected character A and the defeated enemy boss (enemy character). In addition, the guaranteed number of games lottery table is designed such that the expected value fluctuates according to the stage setting value. For example, six guaranteed number of games lottery tables are provided corresponding to combinations of character A and enemy bosses. If is 5, the expected value of the guaranteed number of games lottery is 14 times, if the stage setting value is 4, the expected value of the guaranteed number of games lottery is 12 times, and if the stage setting value is 3, the expected value of the guaranteed number of games lottery is is 9 times, and if the stage setting value is 2, the expected value of the guaranteed number of games lottery is 7 times, and if the stage setting value is 1, the expected value of the guaranteed number of games lottery is 5 times. determined in advance. Then, in step S210, the main control unit 100 automatically determines the guaranteed number of games by lottery using the guaranteed number of games lottery table, and proceeds to step S220.

The main control unit 100 executes a combination lottery with the start operation in the current game, and when the process proceeds to step S220, executes an additional loop rate lottery according to the winning combination. The added loop rate is the probability of winning. For example, if it is assumed to be 90%, the probability of winning is 90%, and the probability of losing is 10%. There are two types of additional loop rate lottery tables, one is selected when a rare combination is won, and the other is selected for a non-rare combination. As a matter of course, the additional loop rate lottery table selected when the rare combination is won has an expected value about two to three times higher than the table for the non-rare combination. Also, as described above, the expected value fluctuates according to the stepped set value.

When proceeding to step S230, the main control unit 100 extracts one random number using the determined number-of-additional-games lottery table, and executes an additional lottery once in normal addition. In the special add-on 1 (speed add-on), two random numbers are extracted (at least two or more random numbers are extracted), and an add-on game count lottery is executed twice to determine two add-on values. Special addition 2 (power addition) extracts one random number and doubles the number of games to be added. is multiplied by a predetermined value to determine a predetermined value) to determine one superimposed value. Then, in the special add-on 3 (technique add-on), one random number is extracted and the add-on lottery is executed once, similarly to the normal add-on. In addition, a predetermined 1 point (predetermined point) is subtracted from the character's HP each time the lottery for the number of additional games is performed. Subtract 4 points from HP. Each character has three HPs. First, HP is subtracted from 1, and when it becomes 0 and the first addition lottery condition is satisfied, the first special addition lottery is executed and the first special addition value is transmitted to the sub control unit 160. . Further, the main control unit 100 subtracts HP2 from HP2 each time the number of additional game lottery is performed, and when the second additional lottery condition is satisfied, the second special additional lottery is executed to obtain the second special additional value. It is transmitted to the sub control unit 160 . Then, the main control unit 100 subtracts HP3 from HP3 each time the number-of-addition lottery is performed, and when it becomes 0 and the third addition lottery condition is satisfied, the third special addition lottery is executed, and the third special addition value is set. It is transmitted to the sub control unit 160 . The expected value of the first special add-on value is about 50 games, the expected value of the second special add-on value is about 100 games, and the expected value of the third special add-on value is about 300 games. Since HP is subtracted at 4 times, special addition is likely to occur, and depending on the character selected, there is a high probability that the first addition lottery condition will be satisfied within the guaranteed number of games. The sub-control unit 160 individually stores the received first to third special add-on values, and when receiving these special add-on values, can execute an effect related to the special add-on value. For example, the sub-control unit 160 executes an effect such as destroying the character's armor step by step according to the first to third special addition values.

When proceeding to step S235, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the upper limit N (permissible number of transmissions) has been exceeded. For example, assuming that the upper limit value N is 100, the main control unit 100 in step S240 transmits the additional value to the sub-control unit 160 up to 100 times, and adds the additional value to the total number of remaining games (remaining total number). However, after the 101st time, it is only added to the remaining total number of games, and the added value is not transmitted to the sub-controller 160 . The sub control unit 160 individually (separately) stores the additional values received from the main control unit 100 in the order in which they are received. This has the unique effect of reducing the storage capacity of the sub-controller 160 . In addition, the remaining total number is the number of remaining wins of the pushing order minor combination related to the ART game, the remaining number of payouts, and the like. However, the main control unit 100 always transmits the first to third special add-on values regardless of the upper limit value N.

When proceeding to step S250, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not there is a guaranteed number of games. Then, the process returns to step S230. In other words, step S250 can be said to determine whether or not the guaranteed number of games has been played. If not, 1 is subtracted and the process returns to step S230. That is.

When the number of guaranteed games becomes 0 in step S250 and the process proceeds to step S260, the main control unit 100 performs an additional continuous number lottery according to the determined additional loop rate (in this case, the winning rate is 90%). For example, using an 8-bit counter that fluctuates in the range of 0 to 255, the count value is extracted at random timing, and if the range of 0 to 229 is the hit, the winning rate is about 90%, and the winning in step S270 If so (if the continuation condition is satisfied), the process returns to step S230 and automatically executes the additional loop lottery. The main control unit 100 transmits the calculated remaining total number of games (remaining total number) to the sub control unit 160 in the case of termination in step S270 (if the termination condition is satisfied), and starts the addition loop lottery process. Exit the subroutine. The main control unit 100 controls continuation and termination of the ART game and transition to the judgment game based on the remaining total number. That is, the main control unit 100 can execute an add-on loop lottery process that repeats an add-on lottery in order to determine an add-on value for an advantageous game, and a lottery for determining whether to end the add-on loop lottery process. is a control means that can be executed repeatedly.

The sub control unit 160 individually (separately) stores the additional values received from the main control unit 100 in the order of reception, and the number of additional games is 1 for the first time, 3 for the second time, 1 for the third time, and 4 times for the third time. 1 in the 5th and 5th times, 1 in the 6th time, 50 in the 7th time, 1 in the 8th time, and 1 in the 9th time, indicating a total of 64 wins (see FIG. 38A). Although this series of additional lottery processing is executed by the main control unit 100, it is processed in a short time (approximately 10 ms) from after the winning lottery is executed by the start operation until the operation of the stop button unit 10 is validated. be done.

When the main control unit 100 accepts the operation of one of the stop switches while all three reel drums are rotating, the main control unit 100 does not perform the game delay processing (freezing processing) when the normal extra lottery is executed. , the delay processing is performed on the condition that the special addition lotteries 1 to 3 have been executed. In the case of the normal addition lottery, the main control unit 100 sets a minimum operation interval timer of 210 ms when the first stop operation is accepted, and accepts the second stop operation under the minimum condition that 210 ms have elapsed since the operation. On the other hand, in the case of a special additional lottery, the main control unit 100 executes delay processing upon receipt of the first stop operation, and stops the progress of the main game until a predetermined time (about 5 seconds) elapses. do. As a result, the player cannot perform the second stop operation until a predetermined time has passed since the first stop operation. When the sub-control part 160 receives a freeze command for a predetermined time (about 5 seconds) from the main control part 100, the sub-control part 160 displays on the display performance device 11 a special performance indicating that a special extra lottery is performed during delay processing. In addition to the sense of incongruity that the player cannot perform the next operation, the player's expectation for the additional game is greatly increased by the special effect.

The sub-control unit 160 is an effect control means for controlling an add-on effect related to the add-on value, and after the game in which the special add-on condition (add-on game 2) is established ends (after the third stop operation), the condition for starting the add-on effect is set. is established to validate the operation of the special button 14 (operation switch). At the time of activation, the sub-controller 160 flashes the internal LED of the special button 14, and displays "special button repeated hits" on the liquid crystal screen. In other words, the sub control unit 160 can operate the special button 14 when it receives a notification from the main control unit 100 indicating that the game has ended (a notification that the drum unit is completely stopped, a notification that the bet button is active, or the like). , and the display effect device 11 displays "hit the special button" or "hit the special button repeatedly". Also displayed is the number of remaining games obtained by adding an extra value for each special button operation to the current number of remaining games (not shown).

In FIG. 38(B), the number of additional games is 20 at the 10th time, 100 at the 11th time, 10 at the 12th time, 1 at the 13th time, 3 at the 14th time, 1 at the 15th time, 5 at the 16th time, and 1 at the 17th time. , After winning the 18th time, the total number of remaining games (remaining total number) received last is stored, and the termination condition of the additional loop lottery process is satisfied, and the winning is a total of 206 times from the 1st time to the 18th time. It shows that The sub-control unit 160 sets the special button 14 in an operable state (validated state) when the condition for starting the additional performance is met, and stores in the RAM in the order received every time the player operates the special button 14 once. The number of additional games to be played is sequentially displayed from the first to the last, and the 19th operation displays the total number of additional games and the total number of remaining games. The sub-control unit 160 is designed to display the total number of additional games even when the additional effect is canceled by the start operation (effect cancellation operation) after the MAX bet operation, and the first stop operation of the next game. The display of the total number of added games is continued until is performed. It should be noted that the total number of remaining games may also be displayed. The sub-control unit 160 subtracts the number of remaining games before the addition game from the received total number of remaining games (total number of remaining games) to obtain and display the total number of add-on games. As a result, the sub-control section 160 reproduces the additional lottery actually performed by the main control section 100 on behalf of the player, so that the player feels great excitement and a sense of unity between the player and the game machine is formed. can do.

FIG. 39 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between 8-bit pseudo-random numbers and numerical values. FIG. 40 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the combination lottery table.

The normal state of mode number 0 is managed by 4 types of normal mode numbers 0 to 3, and if you draw a rare role when this state is large, you will win ART (Assist Replay Time) or CZ (Chance Zone). more likely to do so. Points are determined by a random number lottery from a value of 0-99.

When using 8-bit pseudo-random numbers, conventionally, the probability could only be set in increments of 0.39% (1/256). Thickened (eg, 0.006%). The main control unit 100 acquires one of the 8-bit pseudo-random numbers from 0 to 255 periodically generated by the random number generation circuit at a predetermined timing (see FIG. 39A). Note that the 8-bit pseudorandom number always appears as a value between 0 and 255 once in one cycle. The 7th bit (MSB) of the 8-bit pseudo-random number is an instruction bit. If this value is 0, it is an instruction to execute multiplication. ). In addition, 0 and 1 may be reversed as to the content of the instruction (0: no instruction to execute, 1: instruction to execute). Any numerical value from 0 to 127 can be indicated by the other seven bits (0th to 6th bits) of the 8-bit pseudorandom number.

FIG. 39(B) indicates that the indication bit (MSB) is 0 to indicate that a predetermined number is to be multiplied. .781% increase. This resolution is coarsened to twice 1/256.

In FIG. 39(C), the indication bit (MSB) is 1 to indicate that the predetermined number is not multiplied, and the 7-bit numerical value is the numerical value, and each time the numerical value increases by 1, the probability increases by 0.006%. indicates that This resolution is 64 times finer than 1/256.

FIG. 39(D) is a lottery table, which is stored in the ROM 101, which defines the relationship between a plurality of pieces of winning information (values of prize money points 0 to 99) and numbers. It is designed so that prize money of 10 points to 30 points is won with an 80% probability, centering on the prize money of 20 points. If the prize money of 20 points is won with a probability of 30%, the MSB is 0, the 7-bit number is 38, and the true probability is 29.688% (38×128÷16384). If a prize of 15 points and a prize of 25 points are won with a probability of 20%, the MSB is 0, the 7-bit number is 26, and the true probability is 20.031% (26×128÷16384). If a prize of 0 points is won with a probability of 0.5%, the MSB is 1, the 7-bit numerical value is 82, and the true probability is 0.500% (82÷16384). If 90 points of prize money is won with a probability of 0.02%, the MSB of the input number is 1, the 7-bit number is 4, and the true probability is 0.024% (4÷16384). And if you win 99 points of prize money with a probability of 0.01%, the MSB should be 1 and the 7-bit number should be 2. Since the point wins, the MSB meaning 100% is 1, and the 7-bit numerical value is 0 (1-byte data: 10000000). As a process on the program, first, it is confirmed whether the number is 128, and if it is 128, winning processing is performed, while if it is not 128, the number is accumulated and subtracted from the random number. In particular, the probability of 50% is that the MSB is 0, and the 7-bit numerical value is 64 (1-byte data: 01000000). Conversely, if the obtained one 8-bit pseudo-random number is 64 (1-byte data: 01000000), the number is accumulated and subtracted in order from 0 points, and the random number becomes negative because the prize is 20 points. Winning information that the prize money is 20 points is derived.

The main control unit 100 continuously generates a 2-byte random number (a value of 0 to 65535 in decimal, 0000h 1111h), one RD1 is extracted and internal lottery processing is executed.

The combination lottery table (see FIG. 40) is all 1-byte data, 1-byte N-th data from address N, 1-byte M-th data from address M, and 1-byte L-th data group from address L. The contents of the data are changed according to the design specifications. The MSB of the Nth data is an identification bit that identifies the number of bytes of the input. The number of bytes in the number indicates 2 bytes. The following two bits (bits 5 and 6) are bonus information, and 00 indicates that the bonus has not been won, 01 indicates that the bonus 1 has been won, 02 indicates that the bonus 2 has been won, and 03 indicates that the bonus 3 has been won. The lower 5 bits are lottery number information, and can take values from 1 at minimum to 31 at maximum.

The MSB of the Mth data is an identification bit that identifies the data by setting. If it is 0, it means that there is no setting difference in the setting and it means a common setting, but if it is 1, there is a setting difference in the setting and is different means a set number of . The lower 7 bits are combination information, which means a winning combination when the internal lottery process is completed. Since it is 7 bits, 128 kinds of winning combinations (winning combination 0 to winning combination 127) can be distinguished. The L-th data means the value of the set number. If the MSB of the N-th data is 0, it is 1 byte small set number data (maximum 255), and if the MSB is 1, it is 2 bytes large set number data (maximum 65535). be able to.

After extracting RD1, the main control unit 100 continues to draw RD1, and determines a winning combination when the end condition based on the remaining random number and the numerical value is satisfied. The end condition is established when the remaining random number value is smaller than the number entered in the lottery table this time. More specifically, since the MSB of the Nth data is 1, the main control unit 100 determines that the number is 2 bytes. Since the bonus information is 00, the bonus is not won, and since the lottery number information is (11011), it is determined that the lottery will be performed 27 times (subtract the number).

Since the MSB of the M-th data is 0, the main control unit 100 determines that there is no set difference and that the numbers are common, and that the combination information is 4, so that it is a small winning combination (left first 1). The main control unit 100 treats the Lth data (01h) as the upper byte of the number of entries and the L+1th data (10h) as the lower byte of the number of entries. In this case, the number to be entered is 384 (256+128) in decimal. Here, when the main control unit 100 judges that the remaining random number is smaller than the current value entered in the lottery table, the end condition is established, and the winning combination is determined as the small winning combination (left first 1). (to derive the lottery result). On the other hand, if the termination condition is not met, subtract the current registered value (384) from the remaining random value, and complete the subtraction once as the remaining random value. Next, the main control unit 100 determines a small winning combination (left first 2) by logical operation, and determines this small winning combination (left first 2) as a winning combination when the termination condition is satisfied. , a small winning combination (left first 3) is determined by logical operation, and if the termination condition is satisfied, this small winning combination (left first 3) is determined as a winning combination, but if not satisfied, the same processing is repeated. There are 9 types of push order small wins (left first) from 1 to 9, 9 types of push order small wins (middle first) from 1 to 9, and 9 types of push order small wins (right first) from 1 to 9. Since the numbers are the same, it is possible to reduce the amount of data in the combination lottery table by performing loop processing. In other words, if you do not win even if you do 27 times lottery (subtraction of the set number), you will not win 27 types from the small winning combination (left first) to the small winning combination (right first). , and when the end condition is established somewhere, one of the small wins in the order of pushing is won.

Since the MSB of the (N+1)th data is 0, the main control unit 100 determines that the number is 1 byte. Since the bonus information is 01, the bonus 1 is won, and since the lottery number information is (00001), it is determined that one lottery will be performed (subtract the number). Since the MSB of the M+1-th data is 0, the main control unit 100 determines that it is a common set number with no setting difference, and since the combination information is 0, it is a non-winning (losing). In other words, bonus 1 is won alone, and only bonus 1 is won if the end condition is satisfied here. If the combination information is other than 0, the winning combination and the bonus 1 are duplicated. The main control unit 100 sets the L+2-th data (40h) as a set number, and in this case, the set number is 64 in decimal (the winning probability is about 1/1000). Here, when the main control unit 100 judges that the remaining random number value is smaller than the current set value 64, the end condition is satisfied and the single winning of the bonus 1 is determined (the lottery result is derived). On the other hand, if the termination condition is not met, the current set value (64) is subtracted from the remaining random number value, and one lottery process is terminated as the remaining random number value.

Since the MSB of the (N+2)th data is 0, the main control unit 100 determines that the number is 1 byte. Since the bonus information is 00, the bonus is not won, and since the lottery number information is (00001), it is determined that one lottery will be performed (the number is subtracted). Since the MSB of the M+2th data is 1, the main control unit 100 determines that it is a set number with a setting difference, and since the combination information is 3, it is a middle cherry (rare small combination: decided at the time of design). . The main control unit 100 confirms the setting value, and if the setting value is 1, the L+3th data (80h) is set as the input number (decimal number 128), and if the setting value is 2, the next L+4th data (88h ) is set (decimal number 136), and if the set value is 3, the next L+5th data (90h) is set as the set number (decimal number 144), and if the set value is 4, the next L+6th data If (A0h) is the input number (decimal number 160), if the setting value is 5, the next L+7th data (C0h) is the input number (decimal number 192); When the L+8 data (E0h) is taken as the registered number (decimal number 255) and it is determined that the remaining random number value is smaller than the current registered value, the termination condition is satisfied and the single winning of the middle row cherry is determined. If the bonus information is 10, bonus 2 and middle cherry are simultaneously won. On the other hand, if the termination condition is not met, the current set value is subtracted from the remaining random number value, and one lottery process is terminated as the remaining random number value. The main control unit 100 repeats the above procedure to execute the internal lottery process, and finally derives the lottery result (won or not). As an effect, the data capacity of the main program can be compressed.

FIG. 41 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the instruction monitor display. 42 to 44 are explanatory diagrams showing the relationship between instruction information, instruction monitor display, and instruction content.

In this embodiment, the indication monitor display is performed using the ones place of the medal payout number display LED 4c. The trigger for the instruction monitor display is the instruction information that digitizes the instruction content when an instruction occurs corresponding to the internal hit information value, RT information value, push order information value, and navigation mode information after the start lever is operated. Set (0 to 6). After that, when the spinning drum starts rotating and the operation of the stop button can be accepted, the set instruction information (0 to 6) is displayed in the ones place of the medal payout number display LED 4c (lit ). Then, when all reels stop, the indication monitor display goes out. The relationship between instruction information, instruction monitor display, and instruction content is as follows. "No display" displays "0".

When the condition device related to the instruction function is activated, when the value of the navigation mode information is "0", the value grouped from the event command (winning data command: A9H) is sent to the peripheral board (sub control unit 160) ( See FIG. 42(A)). The group value of push order bell 1 to push order bell 27 is 80H, and the group value of push order replay 1-1 to push order replay 2-6 is 40H. The control unit 160 can recognize the pressing order bell or the pressing order replay, but cannot recognize the order of operations, so it cannot notify the navigation information.

When the condition device related to the instruction function is activated, when the value of the navigation mode information is "1", the value of some of the instruction information and the grouped values are transferred from the event command (winning data command: A9H) to the peripheral board (sub-control section 160) (chance zone 2; see FIG. 42(B)). In the case of condition devices 01EH to 026H (push order bells 1 to 27), a 50% distribution lottery is performed and displayed on the instruction monitor. There are three options for the pressing order of the bell, and if the first operation is correct, a small bell combination (a small combination for winning a prize) is won regardless of the order of the second and third operations. Specifically, for 01EH to 026H (push order bell 1 to push order bell 9), the left 1st is the correct answer, so either "1" indicating left, middle right or "2" indicating left, right, middle is 50%. is determined by lottery with a probability of , and displayed on the instruction monitor, and determination information is transmitted to the peripheral substrate (sub-controller 160). If the determination information is "1", the sub control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of left, middle, right.

Similarly, for 027H to 02FH (push order bells 10 to 18), the middle 1st is the correct answer, so either ``3'' indicating middle left/right or ``4'' indicating middle right/left is determined with a 50% probability. Then, it is displayed on the instruction monitor, and the determination information is transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-controller 160). If the determination information is "3", the sub control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of middle left and right, but if the determination information is "4", it notifies the navigation information in the order of middle right and left. In 030H to 038H (push order bells 19 to 27), right 1st is the correct answer, so either "5" indicating right left middle or "6" indicating right middle left is decided by lottery with a probability of 50%. Then, it is displayed on the instruction monitor, and the determination information is transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-controller 160). If the determination information is "5", the sub control unit 160 reports the navigation information in the order of right, left, middle, and if the determination information is "4", reports the navigation information in the order of right, middle, left. The main control unit 100 transmits 40H as the group value of the push order replay 1-1 to the push order replay 2-6. The control unit 160 can recognize the pressing order replay, but cannot recognize the order of operations, so it cannot report the navigation information.

When the condition device related to the instruction function is activated, when the value of the navigation mode information is "2", the value of some of the instruction information and the grouped values are transferred from the event command (winning data command: A9H) to the peripheral board (sub-control 160) (waiting for completion; see FIG. 43A). The group value of the push order bell 1 to push order bell 27 is 80H, and the control unit 160 can recognize the push order bell, but cannot recognize the order in which the buttons should be operated, so that the navigation information cannot be notified. The pushing order replay 1 is a replay role for shifting from the RT1 state to the RT2 state, and the pushing order replay 2 is a replay role for shifting from the RT2 state to the RT3 state. For 02H (push order replay 1-1) or 08H (push order replay 2-1), the correct order is left, middle, right. 160). In 03H (push order replay 1-2) or 09H (push order replay 2-2), the correct order is left and right, so "2" indicating the correct operation is displayed on the instruction monitor, and the peripheral board (sub control unit 160). For 04H (push order replay 1-3) or 0AH (push order replay 2-3), the middle left and right order is the correct answer. 160).

Similarly, for 05H (push order replay 1-4) or 0BH (push order replay 2-4), the correct order is middle, right, left. The instruction information is transmitted to the sub-controller 160). For 06H (push order replay 1-5) or 0CH (push order replay 2-5), the correct order is right, left, middle. The instruction information is transmitted to the control unit 160). For 07H (push order replay 1-6) or 0DH (push order replay 2-6), the correct order is right, middle, left. The instruction information is transmitted to the sub-controller 160).

When the condition device related to the instruction function is activated, when the value of the navigation mode information is "3", the value of the instruction information is sent from the event command (winning data command: A9H) to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160) ( See FIG. 43(B)). Numerical values (1 to 6) for instructing the correct operation of the push order bell and push order replay are displayed on the instruction monitor as described in FIGS. The instruction information is transmitted to the control unit 160). When the condition device related to the instruction function is activated, when the RT information is "0", even if the value of the navigation mode information is "1" to "3", the value of the navigation mode information is the same as "0". , the value grouped from the event command (winning data command: A9H) is transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-controller 160) (see FIG. 44). The group value of push order bell 1 to push order bell 27 is 80H, and the group value of push order replay 1-1 to push order replay 2-6 is 40H. The control unit 160 can recognize the pressing order bell or the pressing order replay, but cannot recognize the order of operations, so it cannot notify the navigation information. Therefore, even if the sub-controller 160 is tampered with, it is not possible to do anything.

FIG. 45 is a game state transition diagram (RT state).

The difference from FIG. 33 is that a premium effect bonus is provided in addition to the real bonus game (BB1 to BB2: 1st kind continuous actuating device) as a bonus combination, so FIG. 33 is used for other explanation.

The premium effect bonus is a real bonus with RT that becomes a high-probability replay state (REP probability of about 2/3) for a predetermined number of games (for example, 25 games) when the bonus game ends. The premium presentation is executed until the game ends.

When the premium effect bonus pattern is displayed and the premium effect bonus game is won, the sub-control part 160 executes the premium effect using this as a trigger to start the effect. The premium effect data is composed of video data, music data, singing voice data and lamp control data. The premium effect data consists of divided effect data 0 to effect data N (N is a natural number equal to or greater than 2), and the sub control unit 160 sequentially reproduces effect data 0 and then reproduces effect data N. is completed, the performance data 0 is returned to and the reproduction is repeated (turnaround reproduction). A sub-control part 160 stores performance data that is currently being reproduced, and starts reproducing the stored performance data from the beginning when recovering from an error state when a door is opened or an error occurs. That is, when the performance start condition is satisfied after the occurrence of the performance interruption reason is detected during the execution of the premium performance, the currently stored performance data is reproduced from the beginning. Since the performance data 0 to the performance data N are divided according to the content of the presentation to be displayed, there is no need to equally divide them (data of the same length).

Application example (additional description of FIG. 23):
(22) ART lottery trigger role: ART lottery is executed when rare roles such as cherry role, pumpkin role (watermelon role), strong bell role (common bell role), chance role and special replay role are won. be.

The main control unit 100 executes a winning combination lottery when a regular operation of the start lever 9 is accepted, and determines whether or not to play an operation time guessing game when an ART lottery triggering combination is won. In the case of no winning, an ART lottery is executed using a lottery table corresponding to the game state and the ART lottery trigger combination. On the other hand, when the operation time guessing game is won, the main control unit 100 determines the correct time range. This correct time range is a time range that is considered correct when any of the stop button units 10 is operated for the first stop from the start of time measurement. For example, the main control unit 100 determines “5 seconds±0.1 seconds” or “4.9 seconds to 5.1 seconds” as the correct time range.

In addition, the main control unit 100 transmits the fact that the game has been won and the correct time range to the sub-control unit 160, and performs a freeze effect (reel lock and reel effect) for about 3 seconds. The sub-control unit 160 displays on the display effect device 11 that the operation time guessing game of the first stop operation will be performed and a clock meter that counts up from 0 seconds to 10 seconds. There is a correct answer time between 3 and 7 seconds." is displayed. A main control part 100 starts timing operation time when the rotation of the drum part 2 becomes constant after the end of the freezing performance, and transmits to the sub-control part 160 that the rotation has become constant. Triggered by the constant rotation of the drum unit 2, the sub-control unit 160 counts up the clock meter from 0 to 10 seconds according to the elapsed seconds.

When any one of the stop button units 10 is operated for the first stop, the main control unit 100 determines the measured time as the operation time and transmits it to the sub control unit 160 . If the operation time is within the correct time range of 4.9 seconds to 5.1 seconds, the main control unit 100 executes the ART lottery using the correct answer lottery table. An ART lottery is executed using an incorrect answer lottery table. The winning probability of the correct answer lottery table is higher than the winning probability of the incorrect answer lottery table. Also, the winning probability of the incorrect answer lottery table is higher than that of the lottery table when the operation time guessing game is not won. That is, the winning probability is in the following relationship: correct lottery table>incorrect lottery table>non-winning lottery table. Either the correct answer lottery table or the incorrect answer lottery table may be determined in the current game, and the ART lottery may be executed at the timing when the normal operation of the start lever 9 in the next game is received.

In the ART game (advantageous game), when the operation time guessing game is won, the main control unit 100 executes an addition lottery at the timing when the normal operation of the start lever 9 is accepted, and determines the amount of addition or the number of addition sets. do. Then, the determined addition amount or at least one or more addition sets may be given on the condition that the operation time guessing game is answered correctly. That is, when the operation time guessing game is executed, the main control unit 100 grants at least one right to play an advantageous game when the relationship between the operation time and the correct time range satisfies the granting condition.

In the ART game (advantageous game), when the operation time guessing game is won, the main control unit 100 executes an addition lottery at the timing when the normal operation of the start lever 9 is accepted, and determines the amount of addition or the number of addition sets. do. Then, when the correct answer is given to the operation time guessing game, the sub-control part 160 flashes the special button 14 to instruct the display effect device 11 to operate. may be displayed.

Furthermore, in a normal game or an ART game (advantageous game), when the operation time guessing game is won, the sub control unit 160 causes the display effect device 11 to perform setting suggesting effect when the operation time guessing game is answered correctly. may be executed. For example, if the step setting value is 6, a character holding placards of 5 and 6 may appear, or setting 6 may be displayed as a setting suggestion effect. As an effect, conventionally, the player did not necessarily have to watch the liquid crystal or the reels until the wait (freeze effect) was released, but it was necessary to wait for the wait release timing. It can increase the sense of anticipation and increase the sense of self-esteem.

FIG. 46 is a game state transition diagram (RT state) and a left 1st pressing order small winning combination. FIG. 47 shows middle 1st and right 1st push forward small wins.

The difference from FIG. 33 is that bonus 1 (see FIG. 23) is now called a penetrating bonus. Bonus 1 may be either a 1st-class continuous operating device or a 2nd-class continuous operating device. The bonus 1, which is a penetrating bonus, does not change the probability of winning a replay even if an internal lottery is won in a combination lottery, an operating pattern is displayed, or the operation of the bonus ends (the bonus game ends). In other words, it is a role to maintain the RT state at the time of internal winning. Also, when the bonus 1 and the minor winning combination are won at the same time, the bonus symbol is preferentially drawn in and controlled (bonus priority control).

Bonus 1 (preferably a device for continuously actuating accessories related to second-class special accessories): (BAR) on the left drum 2a, (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (red cherry) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. When it stops, the number of acquired cards is 0 and a premium bonus 1 is given after that (BIG bonus in which two types of BB1 are activated). When a prize is won, the BAR patterns appear to be aligned in a straight line upward to the right, so the player does not feel uncomfortable. The game of bonus 1 ends when the acquired number exceeds 144. - 特許庁

Since the RT state at the time of winning is maintained when the bonus 1 is internally won and the inside of the bonus is reached, RT4 becomes any one of RT0 to RT3. In the state of RT2 or RT3 in which the winning probability of the replay combination is high, when the bonus 1 is internally won and does not operate (win), the next game is maintained in the high probability replay state. When a replay is won in these RT4 states (high-probability replay state), the operating pattern of the replay is always displayed (winning or operating a replay combination), but if any small combination is won, a bonus is given by bonus priority control. The drawing is controlled with priority given to the small winning combination.

However, if the stop switch is operated at a timing when the bonus symbols cannot be pulled in when the push order small combination (especially the left 1st) is simultaneously won while the bonus 1 is internally won, the ball payout rate is 100%. There is a problem of exceeding For example, when the pushing order bell 1-1 in FIG. 24 is won, a target minor role (right-down bell role: FRU1) for the purpose of winning a prize, and a hindrance minor role group for the purpose of inhibiting the winning of the first minor role are formed. (In this case, 3 types of 9-card small wins (FRU10, FRU23, FRU36) are won at the same time. The player presses the stop switch at the timing when the 18th BAR symbol on the left reel has passed. When operated, either the 13th green pumpkin symbol or the 3rd upper shin symbol stops on the active line. ) and a small hindrance combination (FRU 36) may win a prize. Since no role symbol can be drawn in, the bell symbol of the small objective combination (FRU1) is drawn in. In this state, only the small objective combination (FRU1) can win, but the replay symbols on the right reel can be drawn in 100%. The main control unit 100 wins the target small combination and pays out 9. Conversely, if the player operates the stop switch at the timing of drawing the third blue cherry symbol from the middle reel, only the hindering small combination will be paid out. is in a tenpai state, but since it wins with a probability of 1/3, the increase or decrease is 0. That is, in the RT4 state (high probability replay state) where the player is inside the bonus, the bonus 1 symbol is intentionally If you continue to avoid bonus prizes without aiming at the target, the ball output rate will exceed 100%, so the number of medals will not decrease when winning a replay, and it is possible to increase the number of medals when winning a small role. a situation occurs.

FIG. 46(B) shows that in the RT4 state (RT0, RT1 low-probability replay state or RT3-RT4 high-probability replay state) in the inside of the bonus, the push-order bell combination (left) was won. The difference from FIG. 23 is that the 1-card FRU 40 for changing the stop control is simultaneously won. Since stop control is performed, the explanation is used.

In the pressing order bell role (left), the correct first stop operation is the left stop button 10a, and the subsequent operation may be either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c. Push order bell 1 is a one-time push order type push order small combination, and is intended to win a prize. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, three types of 9-card small wins (FRU10, FRU23, FRU36) constituting the second small win group for the purpose of inhibiting are simultaneously won (push order bell 1 in FIG. 24) -1).Furthermore, the one-piece FRU 40 for stop control change is to be won at the same time.There are nine types from push order bell 1-1 to push order bell 1-9, but for stop control change 27 to 32 will be referred to for the push-order bell role (middle) and push-order bell role (right). It should be noted that these explanations are for when the bonus is not won (during non-inside), and the push-order bell role (left) is simultaneously won while the bonus is not in, and in the state of Fig. 27(A), When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop button 10a of the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, the range of 0 frames to 4 frames. , the left drum 2a is stopped, and control is performed to pull any one of the upper shin pattern/BAR pattern/green pumpkin pattern into the effective line.

On the other hand, when the player performs the first stop operation on the right stop button 10c of the incorrect operation order while all the reels are spinning (see FIG. 29(A)) while the bonus is not in progress, the main control The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and either BAR pattern, blue seven pattern or green pumpkin pattern. Control is performed to ensure that one is drawn into the effective line (see FIG. 29(B)). Therefore, any one of the three small hindrance symbols always stops on the activated line. In the case of FIG. 29(B), since the BAR symbol is stopped on the active line, only FRU 10 can win at this time, and the bell symbol (symbol of minor winning combination) is stopped on the upper right row. ing.

In the inside of the bonus, when the pushing order bell (left) is won, BB1, FRU1, FRU10, FRU23, FRU36 and FRU40 are simultaneously won (see FIG. 46(B)). When the player aims at the BAR symbol, which is the DDT point, and performs the first stop operation of the left stop button 10a in the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and obtains the corresponding sliding frame number data. , the left drum 2a is stopped within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and stop control is performed to pull the BAR pattern into the effective line. When the BAR symbol stops on the activated line, at this point, any one of BB1, FRU1, FRU10 and FRU40 may win. When the player aims at the 16th blue seven symbol and performs the second stop operation of the middle stop button 10b, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, 0 Stop control is performed to stop the middle drum 2b within the range of frames to 4 frames and draw the BAR pattern into the effective line. The reason for this is that the main control unit 100 performs stop control to draw bonus symbols prior to the symbols of FRU1, FRU10 and FRU40. In this state, there is a possibility that only BB1 will win, and when the player operates the right stop button 10c to stop the right stop button 10c aiming at the red cherry symbol, BB1 wins, but at the timing when the red cherry symbol cannot be drawn. When the right stop button 10c is operated for the third stop, BB1 is displayed.

However, after the first stop operation, if the player hits the BAR symbol on the right reel No. 12 and performs the second stop operation on the right stop button 10c, the red cherry symbol No. 13 cannot be stopped. In that case, the main control unit 100 draws either the top shin symbol or the white pumpkin symbol of the FRU40, which has many symbol combinations, on the activated line instead of the BAR symbol, which is the symbol of the FRU10, inside the bonus. After that, when the middle stop button 10b is operated in the third stop operation, either the replay pattern or the white pumpkin pattern is drawn onto the effective line, the FRU 40 wins, and only one medal is paid out. Therefore, since the player loses two cards, the strategy can be eliminated.

Also, when the BAR symbol is removed by the first stop operation of the left reel, the main control unit 100 stops the upper shin symbol or the green pumpkin symbol. A white pumpkin pattern, a top shin pattern or a white pumpkin pattern are stopped on the right reel, and FRU 40 is won. That is, the symbols of FRU23 and FRU36, which are small obstructive wins, are kicked away, and the small obstructive wins with a large number of payouts are not won. As a result, the payout rate in the bonus can be set to less than 100%, so that the strategy can be eliminated.

In the inside of the bonus shown in FIG. 46(B), when the player performs the first stop operation of the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c in the incorrect operation order, two stop controls are conceivable.

As the first control, the main control unit 100 stops the bonus symbol or the symbol of FRU40 on the activated line in the case of the incorrect operation order, and BB1 or FRU40 (control change minor combination for change of stop control, payout is 2 or less) is executed. That is, inside the bonus, since FRU40 (control change minor combination) is won at the same time, if the BB1 symbol cannot be drawn, the FRU40 symbol is drawn and a small combination with a large payout (objective small combination and three inhibition Small roles) should not be allowed to win prizes.

As a second control, in the case of an incorrect operation order, the main control unit 100 stops any of the symbols of the bonus symbol or the three hindering small wins on the active line, and only BB1 or the hindering small win is won. Execute control. In other words, inside the bonus, since there are many obstructing small wins with the possibility of missing out at the same time, if the BB1 symbol cannot be drawn in, any obstructing minor symbol is drawn in, and the dividend is awarded. A lot of purpose small wins and control change small wins are not allowed to win.

In the inside of the bonus, when the push order bell combination (middle) of FIG. 47A is won, BB1, FRU2, FRU10, FRU23 and FRU36 are simultaneously won.

When the player performs the first stop operation of the middle stop button 10b of the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, the range of 0 frames to 4 frames. to stop the middle drum 2b, but despite the correct operation order, the stop control is changed so that the FRU2 bell pattern is kicked away and the BAR pattern (bonus pattern) or any hindrance minor pattern is drawn in. . It should be noted that during non-bonus, the bell pattern of FRU2, which is a minor winning combination, is drawn. If the bonus pattern is drawn in by the subsequent second and third stop operations, the bonus prize is awarded, but if the bonus pattern cannot be drawn in, the bonus is lost. In addition, when the second and third stop operations after that draw in the small hindrance symbol, the player wins the small hindrance role and 9 medals are paid out. A small winning koboshi pattern is displayed. However, since it is inside the bonus, the main control unit 100 does not change the RT state.

In the inside of the bonus, when the push-order bell combination (right) in FIG. 47B is won, BB1, FRU3, FRU10, FRU23 and FRU36 are simultaneously won.

When the player performs the first stop operation of the right stop button 10c of the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, the range of 0 frames to 4 frames. to stop the middle drum 2b, but despite the correct operation order, the stop control is changed so that the FRU 3 bell pattern is kicked away and the red cherry pattern (bonus pattern) or any hindrance minor pattern is pulled in. do. It should be noted that during non-bonus play, the bell pattern of FRU3, which is a minor winning combination, is drawn. When the bonus pattern is drawn in by the subsequent second and third stop operations, the bonus prize is awarded, but when the bonus pattern is not drawn in, the bonus is lost. In addition, when the second and third stop operations after that draw in the small hindrance symbols, the winning of the small hindrance is awarded, and 9 medals are paid out. , the Koboshi eyes pattern is displayed. However, since it is inside the bonus, the main control unit 100 does not change the RT state.

Next, the operation of the reel-type game machine having the basic configuration as described above will be described in detail with reference to drawings, flow charts, and the like. In particular, it is slightly different from the first embodiment in terms of usage, and the winning probability of replay varies, and the reel type game machine is equipped with real bonuses and assist bonuses (ART, third bonus, pseudo bonus, etc.) (A+ART type) will be described.

FIG. 48 is a pattern layout diagram of the drum.

The left drum 2a (first drum), the middle drum 2b (second drum) and the right drum 2c (third drum) each have a left drum pattern, a middle drum pattern and a right drum pattern. A waist belt (not shown) is attached around the outer periphery of each drum.

Each belt has 20 different patterns (10 types: Red Seven, Black BAR, White BAR, Blank, Cherry, Yellow Watermelon, Red Watermelon, Bell, Lip 3, Lip 2). .

FIG. 49 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

When all the three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 determines the combination display of winning and operation-related symbols on the effective line of the window unit 3 corresponding to the number of inserted game medals (Fig. 49 ( A)). However, in all games (regular game, assist game, bonus game, etc.), the prescribed number is assumed to be three.

FIGS. 49(B) and 49(C) show effective lines when three prescribed number of game medals are inserted, and the first line (middle row, middle row, Only middle row, middle row: center horizontal line) are valid. That is, in all games, three cards are always inserted and the effective line is the first line.

FIG. 50 is a payout table during normal operation and bonus operation.

When all three reels (rotating drums or drums) are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs combination display determination of symbols relating to winning and operation on the activated line (see FIG. 49).

(1) Bonus 1 (RBB1): (Red Seven) on the left drum 2a, (Red Seven) on the middle drum 2b, and (Red Seven) on the right drum 2c. When the cards are stopped on the effective line, the number of acquired cards is 0 and a bonus of 1 is given after that (1 type BB1 is activated). Since the red seven patterns are arranged in a straight line at the center, the player does not feel uncomfortable. The game of bonus 1 ends when the acquired number exceeds 297. - 特許庁The main control unit 100 performs stop control to preferentially draw the bonus symbols when either the bonus 1 or the minor combination is won at the same time. Details of the bonus 1 will be described later.

(2) Bonus 2a (first class special accessory, RB1): (black BAR) on the left drum 2a, (black BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (black BAR) on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line. Then, the number of acquired cards is 0 and a bonus 2a is given after that (RB1 is activated). Since the black BAR patterns are arranged in a straight line at the center, the player does not feel uncomfortable. The bonus 2a game ends when the result of 12 games is obtained or when winning is obtained twice. The main control unit 100 performs stop control to preferentially draw in the bonus symbol when either the bonus 2a or the minor combination is won at the same time. The bonus 2a does not change (transition) the replay state (RT state) even if the internal win is won, the pattern is displayed, or the operation ends, so after winning in the RT2 state, the same high probability replay is performed again state can be returned. As a result, the bonus 2a can be discharged continuously while maintaining the ART state.

(3) Bonus 2b (first class special accessory, RB2): (white BAR) on the left drum 2a, (white BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (white BAR) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped. Then, the number of acquired coins is 0, and a bonus 2b is given after that (RB2 is activated). Since the white BAR patterns are arranged in a straight line at the center, the player does not feel uncomfortable. The game of the bonus 2b ends when a result of 12 games is obtained or when winning is obtained twice. The main control unit 100 performs stop control to preferentially draw in the bonus symbols when either the bonus 2b or the minor combination is won at the same time. The bonus 2b does not change (transition) the replay state (RT state) even if the internal win is won, the pattern is displayed, or the operation ends. state can be returned. As a result, the bonus 2b can be discharged continuously while maintaining the ART state.

(3') Bonus 3 (accessory continuous operating device for second class special accessory, MB): Left drum 2a (Rep 3), Middle drum 2b (Rep 3), Right drum 2c (Yellow watermelon) are aligned on the effective line and stop, the acquired number is 0 and a bonus MB is given after that (MB is activated). Since this bonus MB has a symbol pull-in rate of 100%, if it wins alone, it is sure to win regardless of any stop operation. The bonus MB game ends on condition that the acquired number exceeds a predetermined number N (for example, 8). In addition, in a bonus MB game (a bonus game based on a bonus combination), at least the first minor combination and the second minor combination are internally won at the same time, and the payout for the first minor combination is a value equal to or less than a predetermined number N (8 or less), and the payout for this second minor combination is set in advance to a value exceeding a predetermined number N (for example, 9). In the bonus game, the main control unit 100 sets at least a first minor winning combination and a second minor winning combination to a state of being internally won at the same time. A plurality of drums are controlled so that no small win wins. Therefore, the main control unit 100 allows the bonus game to be executed at least twice. As a result, in the simulation test, 9 coins are taken and finished in one game, but in the market, there is an effect that 16 coins can be paid out in 2 games. Furthermore, in the bonus MB game (bonus game based on the bonus combination), in addition to the first small combination (dividend 8) and the second small combination (dividend 9), the third A small winning combination (dividend 7 coins) is simultaneously won internally. Since the third minor win is won when the reel is stopped at a specific position on the specific reel, the player operates the stop button so as to avoid the stop operation at the specific position. For example, as a result of operating the stop button while avoiding the white bar symbol on the left reel from the upper row, the 3rd small winning combination (dividend 7, that is, a value of N-1 or less) is not won, and the 1st small winning combination (dividend 8 ) wins, so the number of winnings increases by one.

(Variation example)
However, in the game of the bonus MB, the main control section 100 may internally draw lots for the replay combination including the special replay combination. For example, in the first game of the bonus game, when the special replay role is not won, a plurality of reels are controlled so that the first minor role always wins, while a plurality of reels are controlled so as not to win the second minor role. is controlled to win the first minor winning combination, and the next bonus game is executed. On the other hand, when the special replay combination is won in the first game of the bonus game, the main control unit 100 controls a plurality of reels so that the second minor combination can be won. wins, the bonus game is finished in one game. If the second minor winning combination is not won, the next bonus game is executed. The case where the second small combination is won is, for example, when the black bar pattern on the left spinning drum is pressed or the left stop button is operated to stop one frame above, and the black bar pattern stops on the effective line.

FIG. 66 is a pattern combination display determination diagram and a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a.

The left drum 2a (first drum), the middle drum 2b (second drum) and the right drum 2c (third drum) each have a left drum pattern, a middle drum pattern and a right drum pattern. A waist band (not shown) is attached around the outer periphery of each drum.

As explained in FIG. 48, each drum band has different patterns (10 types: red seven, black BAR, white BAR, blank, cherry, yellow watermelon, red watermelon, bell, rib 3, rib 2). 20 are arranged. The number of design frames arranged on at least one special reel (first reel) among the multiple reels is 20 frames or less, and in this case, all three reels have 20 (20 frames) designs. are placed. On the other hand, for example, only the special reel (first reel) may have 20 frames, and all the other reels may have 21 frames. The difference between the number of symbol frames on the reels being 20 and 21 is that the symbol size of one frame of 20 frames is longer than that of 21 frames in the moving direction. That is, if the size of the pattern in the 21st frame is 1, the size of the pattern in the 20th frame is 21/20, which is 1.05 times longer. As a result, the length up to a predetermined stopping position on the effective line becomes long, and in the case of sliding one frame, even if it is suddenly stopped, it may not be possible to move onto the effective line within 75 ms. Therefore, when the number of symbol frames on the specific reel is 20, only stop control by slipping 0 frames can be performed.

As a point of the present invention, basically, in the two types of BB (bonus game), the special reel is stopped within a predetermined time (75 ms) after receiving the stop operation, so that the predetermined symbol 0 frame sliding or symbol 1 frame sliding However, when the special reel is at the farthest position or slightly closer, it may stop within a predetermined time but may not be able to move to the predetermined position for one-frame sliding. However, even if the symbol on the special reel cannot be moved to the predetermined position due to the stop control of the one frame slide, the main control unit 100 determines that the symbol has moved to the predetermined position, and determines that the symbol has moved to the predetermined position. A medal payout (game value) is awarded. As a result, even when the number of symbol frames of the specific reel is 20, the main control part 100 can control the stop control of the symbol 0-frame sliding or the symbol 1-frame sliding as in the case of the 21-frame reel, thereby reducing the program capacity. becomes possible.

When all three drum units 2 have stopped, the main control unit 100 determines the combination display of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of inserted game medals (Fig. 66 ( A)). However, in all games (regular game, assist game, bonus game, etc.), the prescribed number is assumed to be three.

This is an effective line when three prescribed number of game medals are inserted, and only the first line (middle row, middle row, middle row: center horizontal line) becomes effective in the order of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c. . That is, in all games, three cards are always inserted, and the effective line is only the first line.

FIG. 66B is a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a (special drum) included in the drum section.

The left drum 2a rotates in the direction of the arrow (from top to bottom), and when the cherry pattern stops in the middle of the three window portions 3 indicated by the solid lines, the center cherry (2 ch) wins, and a predetermined prize is awarded. A number of game medals are paid out.

In the game of the bonus MB (accessory continuous actuating device for the second type special accessory), the main control unit 100 receives the stop operation of the left stop button, and the left drum 2a (special reel) is stopped within 75 ms (within a predetermined time). In this case, the main control unit 100 performs stop control so that the symbol is displayed at a predetermined position of 0 symbol sliding or 1 symbol sliding. This figure shows that the cherry symbol is stopped on the effective line (predetermined position) at the shortest time, and after the left stop button is operated to stop (when the stop operation is accepted), the main control unit 100 immediately stops. to decide.

FIG. 67 is a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a.

The main control unit 100 stops the left drum 2a (special reel) within 75 ms (within a predetermined period of time) when the stop operation of the left stop button is received. In this case, the main control unit 100 performs stop control so that the symbol is displayed at a predetermined position of the one-frame sliding of the symbol. This figure shows that the cherry symbol is stopped on the effective line (predetermined position) for the longest time, and can be stopped exactly 75 ms after the left stop button is operated (see FIG. 67(A)).

FIG. 67(B) shows that the left stop button is operated when the reel is slightly above the position shown in FIG. 67(A). The main control unit 100 stops the left drum 2a (special reel drum) within 75 ms (within a predetermined time) when the stop operation is received. In this case, since the cherry symbol is higher than in FIG. 67(A), the main control unit 100 stops the rotation of the reel within a predetermined time, but cannot move the symbol to the predetermined position where the symbol slides one frame. . However, even if the symbol of the special reel cannot move to the predetermined position, the main control unit 100 determines that it has moved (exists) to the predetermined position, and gives a game value according to the display mode of the symbol. In other words, even if the symbol of the special reel is displayed at a position less than the predetermined position, the main control unit 100 determines that it has moved to the predetermined position, and gives a game value according to the display mode of the symbol. do.

Here, return to FIG. 50 and continue the description.

(4) Middle bell: When (bell) on the left drum 2a, (bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (bell) on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line, a bell pattern is displayed in a straight line in the center, and the middle bell wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is nine.

(5) Rising right bell: For example, when (red watermelon) on the left drum 2a, (bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (replay 3) on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line, the bell pattern rises to the right. Appears and a bell going up to the right wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is nine.

(6) Upper bell: When (yellow watermelon) on the left drum 2a, (replay 3) on the middle drum 2b, and (replay 3) on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line, a bell pattern is displayed on the upper stage. The top bell wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is nine. There are 27 types of upper bells, and they serve as hindrance small hands in push order small hands to be described later.

(7) Lower bell: For example, when the left drum 2a (red watermelon), the middle drum 2b (blank), and the right drum 2c (white BAR) stop on the effective line, a bell pattern is displayed on the lower tier. The bottom bell wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is nine. There are 27 kinds of lower bells, and they serve as hindrance small hands in push order small hands to be described later.

(8) Push order small role: Left 1st is the correct push order bell role (left), middle 1st is the correct push order push order cherry role (middle), right 1st is the correct push order push order cherry role (left) right), and if the first stop operation is the correct answer in the three-choice small combination, the objective small combination is won by the subsequent second and third operations. In the case of three incorrect answers, there are times when any one of the hindering small wins (lower bell) wins, and times when koboshi eyes are displayed.

(9) Strong cherry: For example, when the left drum 2a (replay 3), the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c (yellow watermelon) are all aligned on the effective line and stopped, the cherry symbol is straight down to the right. It is displayed and a strong cherry wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is one.

(10) Light cherry: For example, when the left drum 2a (replay 3), the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c (cherry) stop on the effective line, the light cherry wins (cherry symbol is not displayed in a straight line downward to the right). The number of acquired medals (game media) is one.

(11) Watermelon: For example, when (bell) on the left drum 2a, (red watermelon) on the middle drum 2b, and (white BAR) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped, the watermelon pattern will rise to the right. is displayed and the watermelon wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is three.

(12) Middle cherry (determined cherry): For example, when the left drum 2a (cherry), the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c (cherry) stop on the effective line, the middle cherry wins ( Operate. Since the middle cherry is a replay role, the number of medals (game media) obtained is zero. It is possible to display three cherry patterns aligned in a central straight line. The middle stage cherry role is a trigger role for a freeze lottery, and when it is won, a freeze effect (reel lock and reel effect) is performed, and at least five pseudo-bonuses are stocked and released immediately.

(13) Lower right replay: For example, when number 6 (bell) on the left drum 2a, number 2 (replay 3) on the middle drum 2b, and number 5 (bell) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. No medals are awarded for this, but the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets for that game. It is effective even if the coins are collected continuously after the next game, and the game can be continued without consuming coins until the game in which the replay is not established. An effect of automatically inserting medals is performed before the start of the game, and the next game can be started by the player's operation of the start lever 9.例文帳に追加When the lower right replay is independently won internally by random number lottery, the RP flag corresponding to the flag area is set and the replay pattern is always displayed. Visually, the replay patterns line up in a straight line downward to the right. The replay probability does not change even if the lower right replay operation pattern is displayed.

(14) Middle stage replay (RT2 transition replay): For example, number 5 (replay 2) is valid for the left drum 2a, number 12 (replay 3) for the middle drum 2b, and number 17 (replay 3) for the right drum 2c is valid. When they stop on the line, a replay pattern is displayed in the center line, and the middle stage replay is activated. When the middle stage replay is internally won in a random number lottery and this replay pattern is displayed, the replay probability changes to about 1/2, and the state shifts to RT2. In this RT2 state, the probability of losing (not winning) is relatively high. Push order replay 1, in which the middle replay and the lower right replay are won at the same time, is a replay role for shifting from the RT1 state to the RT2 state. Replay wins.

(15) Upper stage replay (RT2 transition replay): For example, number 10 (red seven) on the left drum 2a, number 13 (cherry) on the middle drum 2b, and number 12 (blank) on the right drum 2c are on the effective line. When they stop in line with each other, the replay symbols are displayed in a straight line on the upper row, and the upper replay is activated. As in the middle stage replay, when this replay pattern is displayed, the replay probability changes to about 1/2, and the state shifts to RT2. In this RT2 state, the probability of losing (not winning) is relatively high. Push order replay 2, in which the upper replay and the lower right replay are won at the same time, is a replay role for shifting from the RT1 state to the RT2 state. Replay wins.

(16) Upper right replay (RT1 transition replay): For example, the effective line is No. 19 (black BAR) on the left drum 2a, No. 17 (replay 3) on the middle drum 2b, and No. 7 (blank) on the right drum 2c. This is the name of the character when it is aligned on the top, and although no medals are obtained for this, the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in that game. Visually, the replay patterns are aligned in a straight line downward to the right. When the RT1 shift replay is internally won in a random number lottery and this replay pattern is displayed, the upper right replay is activated to change the replay probability and shift to the RT1 state (fall replay). Push order replay 3 in which the upper right replay and the lower right replay are won at the same time is a replay role for shifting from the RT2 state to the RT1 state. Replay wins.

(17) Separate replay (RT1 transition replay): For example, number 15 (red watermelon) on the left drum 2a, number 1 (bell) on the middle drum 2b, and number 17 (red seven) on the right drum 2c are effective. This is the name of the role when the characters are aligned on the line, and although medals are not obtained in response to this, the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in that game. Visually, similar patterns are not displayed in a straight line, and separated patterns are displayed in a state in which the patterns are not stopped in an orderly manner. When a random replay is internally won in a random number lottery and this replay pattern is displayed, the replay probability fluctuates due to the operation of the replay 1 and shifts to the RT1 state (falling replay). Push-order replay 4, in which both replay and lower right replay are won at the same time, is a replay role for shifting from the RT2 state to the RT1 state. Bottom right replay wins.

(17) Koboshi (1 to m) of push order small win (push order bell role): A special pattern (falling pattern) displayed on the activated line when the bell role is missed in the push order small win described later. There is, and when any one of the special symbols (falling symbol) is displayed, the replay probability fluctuates, and the state shifts to the RT1 state. For example, when number 12 (yellow watermelon) is displayed on the left drum 2a, number 20 (yellow watermelon) is displayed on the middle drum 2b, and (replay) is displayed on the right drum 2c on the active line (falling pattern is displayed), the game is played. The state shifts to the RT1 state (other symbol combinations are omitted).

The main control unit 100 collectively manages a push-order minor win in which a plurality of minor wins are won at the same time and a push-order replay in which a plurality of replays are won at the same time as a group role (or a push-order group role). During the AT (when the assist function is not activated), even if either the push-order small win or the push-order replay is internally won, only the information that the group win is won is sent to the sub-control unit 160, so the sub-control unit 160 160 cannot recognize the correct pressing order. After the second stop operation, the main control section 100 transmits winning combination information to the sub-control section 160, and the sub-control section 160 performs an effect based on the winning combination information.

FIG. 51 to FIG. 53 are combination tables (simultaneous winning patterns of minor wins) of conditional devices for pressing order minor wins (left first, middle first or right first).

A small winning combination of pressing order means that a small winning combination of bell (top right bell (FRU1), middle bell (FRU2) or middle bell (FRU2) of the winning purpose small winning combination) is always played when the order of operation of the stop button section 10 (the order of pressing the stop button section 10) is correct. While the upper bell (FRU3)) is awarded, in the case of the incorrect answer procedure, any one of a plurality of types of 9 small wins (27 kinds of hindrance small wins) that are simultaneously won is awarded; It is a duplicate winning minor combination that sometimes displays one of a plurality of koboshi eyes (lost patterns of hindering minor roles). Since this push-order small combination wins a prize in 1/3, it can also be said to be a 3-choice small combination (1/3 winning small combination). In other words, if the first operation is correct, a small bell win is always won.

In the pressing order bell role (left), the correct first stop operation is the left stop button 10a, and the subsequent operation may be either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c. Push order bell 1 is a one-time push order type push order small combination, and is intended to win a prize. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, three types of 9-card small wins (FRU8, FRU21, FRU34) constituting the second small win group for the purpose of inhibiting are simultaneously won (push order bell 1 in FIG. 51) -1.) In addition, since the 3rd minor combination (FRU4: 3 dividends) is won at the same time in order to hinder the winning of the 1st minor combination, a total of 5 minor combinations are won. , there are 9 types from push order bell 1-1 to push order bell 1-9, so that the player looks at the appearance (stop symbol) of each reel so as not to miss the hindrance small combination of 9 pieces. , it is not possible to operate the stop button part 10 aiming at the symbol.In the state that the bonus 1 or the bonus 2 is internally won, the bell role (left) in the pushing order is internally elected, and the player's first stop operation is the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 stops the common symbols of the first small win (9-symbol payout) and the third small win (3-symbol payout). Either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c causes the main control unit 100 to stop the symbol of the third minor combination, so that the base can be lowered. are not allowed to win prizes (point of inventive step).

In the case of the small winning combination (medium), the correct first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent operation may be either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c. Push-order small win (middle) is a one-time push-order type push-order small win. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, three types of 9-card small wins (FRU8, FRU21, FRU34) constituting a second small win group intended to hinder winning are simultaneously won (pressing order in FIG. 52) (Refer to small combination 2-1.) Push-order small combination 2 and push-order bell 1 are that the first small combination won is different and the third small combination cannot be won at the same time. , there are 9 types from small push order 2-1 to small push order 2-9. , the stop button part 10 cannot be operated aiming at the pattern.

In the pressing order minor combination (right), the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent operation may be either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b. Push-order small win (right) is a one-time push-order type push-order small win. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, three types of 9-card small wins (FRU8, FRU21, FRU34) constituting the second small win group intended to prevent winning are simultaneously won (pressing order in FIG. 53) (Refer to small combination 3-1.) Push-order small combination 3 and push-order bell 1 are that the winning first small combination is different and the third small combination cannot be won at the same time. , there are 9 types from small push order 3-1 to small push order 3-9. , the stop button portion 10 cannot be operated aiming at the pattern.

54 and 55 are schematic diagrams showing the pattern display state of the window in chronological order.

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the pushing order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. 3 types of small wins are simultaneously won), and based on the operation order information (left 1st) stored correspondingly in the ROM 101, it is determined that the left operation order is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes stop calculation processing (processing for drawing common symbols of FRU1 and FRU4 in the left 1st stage) based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information, so that the player may A sliding frame number table is created so that stop control can be performed immediately even if the stop button part 10 is operated. Similarly, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, the sliding frame number table is created (see the description of FIG. 10).

FIG. 54(A) shows a state in which all the drums 2 are rotating from top to bottom at a constant speed. When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop button 10a of the correct operation order in the state of FIG. Based on this, the left drum 2a is stopped within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw any one of the red seven pattern/lip 2 pattern/red watermelon pattern into the effective line (simply called the drum section 2 is moved by the number of sliding frames (see FIG. 54(B)). For example, the tenth red seven symbol is stopped on the activated line, and the eleventh bell symbol is displayed on the bottom. In the state of FIG. 54(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c is operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop button 10b, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames. The middle drum 2b is stopped, and control is performed to pull the bell pattern (small combination clear pattern) into the effective line (see FIG. 54(C)). In the state of FIG. 54(C), FRU1 is tense, and the bell pattern (small winning clear pattern) is displayed in a straight line upward to the right. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated. refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and performs stop control to draw the lip 3 pattern into the effective line. (See FIG. 54(D)). As a result, if the first stop operation is correct, the FRU1 wins without fail, and the bell pattern (small winning clear pattern) is displayed in a straight line upward to the right, and nine medals are paid out. However, although the bell patterns are visually displayed in a straight line, the straight line display of the patterns may or may not be on the winning line. It should be noted that during the non-bonus period, the FRU1 symbols with a large payout are preferentially drawn in at the time of the second stop operation, so the FRU4 symbols with a large number of symbol combinations are not drawn. Conversely, during the bonus period, the bonus symbols are prioritized over the minor symbols. / red watermelon symbol) is drawn in, but since the FRU4 symbol with a large number of symbol combinations is preferentially drawn in during the second stop operation, the FRU1 symbol with a large payout is not drawn.

FIG. 55 shows the case where the player performs the first stop operation (correct operation) on the left stop button 10a and then the second stop operation on the right stop button 10c. A prize is always won, a bell pattern (a pattern indicating a minor winning combination) is displayed in a straight line, and nine medals are paid out. However, although the bell patterns are visually displayed in a straight line, they may or may not be on the winning line. Similarly, during the non-bonus period, since the FRU1 symbols with a large payout are preferentially drawn in at the time of the second stop operation, the FRU4 symbols with a large number of symbol combinations are not drawn. Conversely, during the inside of the bonus, the bonus symbols are preferentially drawn over the small winning symbols, but if the bonus symbols cannot be drawn, the FRU4 symbols with many symbol combinations are preferentially drawn in during the second stop operation. Therefore, the FRU1 symbol with a large payout is not drawn.

FIG. 56 is a schematic diagram showing the pattern display state of the window in chronological order. However, since FIG. 56(A) is the same as FIG. 54(A), redundant description will be omitted.

When the player performs the first stop operation on the right stop button 10c of the incorrect operation order in the state of FIG. Based on the data, the right drum 2c is stopped within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and control is performed to ensure that any one of the black BAR pattern, white BAR pattern, or cherry pattern is pulled into the effective line (Fig. 56 ( B)). Therefore, any one of the three small hindrance symbols always stops on the activated line. In this case, since the black BAR symbol is stopped on the activated line, only FRU8 has the possibility of winning at this point, and the bell symbol (symbol indicating minor combination) is stopped on the lower right row.

In the state of FIG. 56(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b can be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and, based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, moves left in the range of 0 to 4 frames. The drum 2a is stopped, and if there is a red seven pattern within the pull-in range, stop control is performed to draw the pattern into the effective line (see FIG. 56(C)). The number 10 red seven pattern can be drawn in when there are five patterns numbered 10 to 14 on the active line, so the draw probability is 25% (5/20). If the 10th red seven pattern cannot be pulled in, the losing pattern is stopped on the effective line, and at the 3rd stop, the hindering combination koboshi pattern (RT fluctuation trigger pattern) is displayed.

In the state shown in FIG. 56(C), the FRU 8 is tense, and two bell patterns (small combination clear patterns) are displayed in a straight line in the lower part of the display window. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the player performs the third stop operation of the middle stop button 10b, the main control The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and performs control to draw the blank pattern into the effective line (Fig. 56 (D)). In the figure, FRU8 wins, the bell pattern (symbol indicating minor combination) is displayed in a straight line at the bottom, and 9 medals are paid out. The 15th blank symbol can be drawn in when there are 15th to 19th symbols on the active line, so the draw-in probability is 25% (5/20). On the other hand, if the blank symbol cannot be pulled into the activated line, the winning combination of the obstructing combination (push order small combination) is displayed (not shown). It should be noted that when the middle stop button 10b of the incorrect operation order is operated in the first stop, the same stop control is performed, so the explanation is omitted.

FIG. 57 is a schematic diagram showing the pattern display state of the window in chronological order. However, since FIG. 57(A) is the same as FIG. 54(A), redundant description will be omitted.

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the push order bell 2-1 shown in FIG. Win), and based on the operation order information (middle 1st) stored correspondingly in the ROM 101, it is determined that the middle operation order is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes stop calculation processing (processing for drawing in FRU2 symbols in the middle 1st stage) based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information. Create a sliding frame number table so that it can be stopped immediately even if is operated. Similarly, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, the sliding frame number table is created (see the description of FIG. 10).

In the state of FIG. 57(A), when the player performs the first stop operation of the middle stop button 10b of the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding piece number table and based on the corresponding sliding piece number data. Then, the middle drum 2b is stopped within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw the 11th bell pattern, for example, into the effective line. In the state of FIG. 57(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c is operated. When the player performs the second stop operation on the right stop button 10c, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames. The right drum 2c is stopped and control is performed to pull the bell pattern into the effective line (see FIG. 57(C)). In the state of FIG. 57(C), the FRU2 is tense and the bell pattern (small winning clear pattern) is displayed in a straight line. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the left stop button 10a may be operated, and when the left stop button 10a is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 , the sliding frame number table is referred to, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, the left drum 2a is stopped within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and stop control is performed to pull the bell pattern into the effective line (Fig. 57(D)). As a result, if the first stop operation is correct, the FRU2 wins without fail, and the bell pattern (small combination clear pattern) is displayed on the central straight line that is the effective line, and nine medals are paid out. However, although the bell patterns are visually displayed in a straight line, they may or may not be on the winning line. Since the same applies to the case where the first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b and the second stop operation is the left stop button 10a, the explanation will be omitted.

FIG. 58 is a schematic diagram showing the pattern display state of the window in chronological order. However, since FIG. 58(A) is the same as FIG. 54(A), redundant description will be omitted.

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the push order bell 3-1 shown in FIG. Win), and based on the operation order information (right 1st) stored correspondingly in the ROM 101, it is determined that the right operation order is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes stop calculation processing (processing for drawing in FRU 3 symbols on the right 1st) based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information. Create a slide frame number table so that it can be stopped immediately even if is operated. Similarly, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, the sliding frame number table is created (see the description of FIG. 10).

In the state of FIG. 58(A), when the player performs the first stop operation of the right stop button 10c of the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding piece number table and based on the corresponding sliding piece number data. Then, the right drum 2c is stopped within the range of 0th frame to 4th frame, and stop control is performed to draw the 16th Lip 3 pattern, for example, to the effective line. In the state of FIG. 58(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b is operated. When the player performs the second stop operation of the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, within the range of 0 frames to 4 frames. The left drum 2a is stopped, and stop control is performed to pull the yellow watermelon pattern into the active line (see FIG. 58(C)). In the state of FIG. 58(C), the FRU3 is tense and the bell pattern (small winning clear pattern) is displayed on the upper stage. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the middle stop button 10b is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 , Referring to the sliding frame number table, based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stop the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and perform stop control to draw the lip 3 pattern into the effective line ( See FIG. 58(D)). As a result, if the first stop operation is correct, the FRU3 wins without fail, the bell pattern (small combination clear pattern) is displayed on the non-valid upper line, and nine medals are paid out. However, although the bell patterns are visually displayed in a straight line, they may or may not be on the winning line. Since the same applies to the case where the first stop operation is the right stop button 10c and the second stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, the explanation is omitted.

FIG. 59 is a game state transition diagram (RT state).

RT0 in the figure is the initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay role (replay role) does not change, and the game or bonus 1 (first class special role) immediately after the step setting value is reset. The general game (or general game) is started in the initial state (also referred to as "initial replay state") from the next game after the RBB1) is completed. The probability of winning a replay in this general game (replay probability) is about 1/7.3, and in particular, the RT1 transition replay (replay 1) and the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) are not internally won. In order to shift to , the koboshi of the above-mentioned push-order small combination must be displayed on the active line. On the other hand, even if RBB1 is activated by internal winning, pattern display, or ends with payout exceeding a predetermined number, RT4, bonus game (in 1 type BB), and RT0 only occur, so it is impossible to shift to RT1 even in this route. Also, the bonus 2a (first class special role item, RB1) and bonus 2b (first class special role item, RB2) are in a replay state even if they are internally won, even if the pattern is displayed, and even if the operation is completed. Since (RT state) is not changed (transitioned) and returns to RT0 state, it is impossible to shift to RT1.

In the general game in the RT0 state, when a small winning combination (three-choice pressing order bell combination) is internally won, and the stopping operation procedure of the stop button 10 is missed, the koboshi pattern is displayed on the active line. The RT1 state is reached from the game (the number of games to be continued is not defined, that is, is infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also approximately 1/7.3, and most of the combinations shown in FIG. That is, the game in the initial state and the RT1 state are game states in which the replay probability is approximately the same, approximately 1/7.3, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is in the RT1 state. However, in this initial state, RT1-transition replay to RT2-transition replay are not won, so unless the koboshi pattern is displayed on the activated line, the transition from RT1 state to RT2 state cannot be performed.

When the RT2 shift replay (replay 2) is won internally in the RT1 state and the operating pattern is displayed on the effective line, the replay probability fluctuates and shifts to the RT2 state, and the replay probability rises to about 60%. However, it often fails.

In the RT1 transition replay (replay 1), when the player operates the stop button part 10, if the 6-option pressing order is accidentally correct and the RT2 transition replay is activated, the RT2 state is transitioned to, so RT1 is quickly performed. It has a function (that is, the same function as Koboshi eyes) to drop into a state (fall replay).

Bonus 1 (RBB1) can be won in the combination lottery in the initial state, RT1 state, and RT2 state. be.

A bonus 2a (RB1) and a bonus 2b (RB2) can be won in the combination lottery in the initial state, the RT1 state and the RT2 state, and since the RT is not changed, the winning RT game state is restored after the RB game is finished.

Details of the bonus 1 (RBB1) will be described with reference to FIG. The real bonus game (1 kind of BB) is a normal game (normal game) in the real bonus, and a shift regular bonus game (SRB game: after the symbol display of bonus 2a (RB1) or bonus 2b (RB2) internally selected by lottery RB game to transition), and ends when the number of acquired sheets exceeds 297. It should be noted that it is possible to increase the number of bonus 2a and bonus 2b pattern combinations so that if the player wins inside the game, the player always wins the game. You may do so. There are two types of SRB games. SRB game 1 is advantageous to the player, but SRB game 2 is disadvantageous to the player. In both cases, the game ends when the small combination wins 8 times or completes 12 games (it is also possible to end with 2 wins or 2 games at the minimum). In addition, when RB1 or RB2 is internally won, the winning state is carried over until a prize is won. Bonus 2a (RB1) and bonus 2b (RB2) are used as the two types of shift regular bonuses, but RB3, which is advantageous as SRB, and RB4, which is disadvantageous, may be separately provided.

A bonus 1 (RBB1) is internally won, and the left drum 2a (red seven), the middle drum 2b (red seven), and the right drum 2c (red seven) are aligned on the effective line by the player's stop operation. When displayed, the next game is a normal game (normal game) with a real bonus. In the normal game of the real bonus, the specified number of inserted coins is the same as the normal game (RT0, RT1 or RT2) in the non-bonus game, and is not changed. Therefore, the probability of winning a small combination in the general game of the real bonus is the same as the probability of winning a small combination in the general game of the non-bonus game. Part or all of the loss area and the replay area in the general game of the non-bonus game are RBB winning areas, but the range is determined at the time of design (design matter). The winning region of RBB is the range in which either RB1 or RB2 is won. matter). Therefore, it is twice as likely to be in an advantageous state (RB1).

When RB1 is internally won in the general game of the real bonus (BB1) and the RB1 symbols are displayed on the effective line, the next game is the RB1 game (advantageous regular bonus game) in the real bonus. In the RB1 game, the prescribed number of inserted coins is changed to 1 (design matter). A small winning combination of 15 cards is won in all of the winning lottery areas (random numbers 0 to 65535). In addition, it is designed so that 15 pieces of RB1 can be won at the same time as a small winning combination in a part of the winning lottery area (design matter). For example, if the simultaneous winning area of RB1 and 15 small wins is 1/3, it is almost certain that RB1 will be internally won during the eight small wins, so when the current RB1 game ends. Immediately after winning the next RB1 (symbol display), the RB1 game can be executed. That is, it is a feature of the present invention that RB1 is internally selected during the current RB1 game to be internally selected. However, if RB2 is included in the lottery and the winning probability distribution RB1:RB2 is about 10:1, RB1 can be ten times more likely to win than RB2 (design matter). Variation 1: In addition, by winning 15 small wins in 2/3 of the role lottery area (random value 0 to 65535) and winning 1 small win in the other 1/3, the player can win 1 It is also possible to notify when a card is won and remove it.

On the other hand, when RB2 is internally won in the general game of the real bonus (BB1) and the RB2 symbols are displayed on the active line, the next game is the RB2 game (disadvantageous regular bonus game) in the real bonus. . In the RB2 game, the prescribed number of inserted coins remains 3, and is not changed from the normal game of the real bonus (BB1) (design matter). As for the lottery area of the combination, the small combination winning area in the general game of the real bonus (BB1) remains as it is, and furthermore, the small combination is won in part of the loss area of the general game or the replay area of the general game. Become. As a result, 4 cards are paid out per game on average, so that 1 card is added per game (design matter). The SRB game 2 ends when the small combination wins 8 times or completes 12 games, but as a result, only about 8 cards are added. However, it can also be designed so that there is no increase or decrease with an average increase of 3 cards per game, or a decrease with an increase of less than 3 cards. In other words, in the RB2 game, medals do not increase or decrease as a result, which is disadvantageous. Also, neither RB1 nor RB2 is drawn during the RB2 game. However, if RB1 and RB2 are included in the lottery and the winning probability distribution RB1:RB2 is about 1:1, the winning probability of RB1 and RB2 can be the same (design matter). By doing so, the player wishes to win the internal winning of RB1 during the RB2 game, and feels excitement and excitement. Also, in the RB2 game, medals do not increase or decrease as a result, which is disadvantageous. Further, if the RB2 is drawn by lottery during the RB2 game, the situation can be made even more disadvantageous (design matter).

That is, the actual bonus (BB1) is a paradise in which RB1 is internally elected in a normal game and wins, becomes an advantageous RB1 game, and RB1 is further internally elected during the RB1 game, and RB1 is activated immediately after the RB1 game ends. become a pattern. On the other hand, in the real bonus (BB1), RB2 is won internally in the general game and wins, becomes a disadvantageous RB2 game, medals increase slightly during the RB2 game (or may not increase or decrease, or may decrease), and the RB2 game A game in which advantageous RB1 or disadvantageous RB2 is drawn in the ordinary game after the end is repeated, and when the number of winning coins exceeds 297, the actual bonus (BB1) ends. 59. Then, it has a game property of shifting to the RT0 state of FIG.

FIG. 60 is a game state transition diagram (effect state).

The main control unit 100 is in charge of control related to ball payout performance, determines all game states (game mode numbers) shown in FIG. game state information) is notified to the sub-control unit 160. On the other hand, the sub-control section 160 is in charge of controlling effects, and only executes various effects based on the game state information received from the main control section 100, and is irrelevant to the payout performance.

The main control unit 100 manages the game state in the mode number 1 to mode number 19 game states. The normal game in the non-ART state includes a state with a predetermined low probability of winning ART and a high probability state with a high probability of winning ART. When an ART is won in a normal game, the game shifts to an ART game through an ART precursor state. When RBB1 is internally won in the normal game and the pattern is displayed, the bonus game is performed. During this bonus game, an ART lottery is performed according to the internal winning combination, the ART is won with a probability of about 1/3, and the game shifts to the ART game through the initial state. When RB2a or RB2b is internally elected in the normal game and the symbols are displayed, it becomes a mission game (RB game). During this mission game, an ART lottery is carried out according to the internal winning combination, the ART is won with a probability of about 1/5, and the RT state at the time of the RB winning is passed through to the ART game.

This ART game has three internal modes, and a mode transition lottery is performed after a predetermined number of games are played. In addition to the ART game, when a rare role is won, an additional lottery is performed according to three internal modes, and the probability of winning in the additional lottery is internal mode (low probability) < internal mode (medium probability) < Internal mode (high probability). When the actual bonus (RBB1 or RB) is won during the ART game and the ART game is returned from the bonus game, the ART game is restarted from the internal mode (high probability) state. In addition, when a rare role is won, a lottery for transition to the battle game is performed according to the internal mode. The number of games will be increased. If you lose the battle, you may be moved to a special zone by lottery.

If RBB1 is won in the ART state, it becomes a bonus game, and the ART stock and extras are displayed at the end of the game. When RBB1 is won in the ART state, it becomes a battle game with the enemy boss, and if the physical strength gauge of the enemy boss is reduced to 0 according to the internal winning combination, the number of games is added. Furthermore, when a rare role is won in the ART state, a lottery for obtaining an orb (a privilege in the game) is performed, and one or more orbs are given when the player wins. This orb can be used in a state waiting for the end of ART (danger zone) when the number of ART games is exhausted, and the number of ART games can be obtained. A CZ (chance zone) is a special zone that enters when winning a CZ lottery when the battle is defeated. In particular, when the number of games is added, the special addition described with reference to FIGS. 37 and 38 may be executed.

FIG. 61 shows a game state transition diagram (RT state) and a game state.

RT0 in FIG. 61 (A) is the initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination (replay combination) does not change, and the game or bonus 1 (first The general game (or general game) is started in the initial state (also referred to as "initial replay state") from the next game after the continuous operation device (RBB1) related to the type 1 special accessory is finished. The probability of winning a replay in this general game (replay probability) is about 1/7.3, and in particular, the RT1 transition replay (replay 1) and the RT2 transition replay (regame 2) are not internally won. In order to shift to , the koboshi mark of the above-mentioned pushing order small combination must be displayed on the active line. On the other hand, even if RBB1 is internally elected, RBB1 is activated by the symbol display, or the payout exceeds the predetermined number, RT4, bonus game (1 type BB), RT0 only occur, so this route also shifts to RT1. It is not possible.

In the general game in the RT0 state, when a small winning combination (three-choice pressing order bell combination) is internally won, and the stopping operation procedure of the stop button 10 is missed, the koboshi pattern is displayed on the active line. The RT1 state is reached from the game (the number of games to be continued is not defined, that is, is infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also approximately 1/7.3, and most of the combinations shown in FIG. That is, the game in the initial state and the RT1 state are game states in which the replay probability is approximately the same, approximately 1/7.3, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is in the RT1 state. However, in this initial state, RT1-transition replay to RT2-transition replay are not won, so unless the koboshi pattern is displayed on the activated line, the transition from RT1 state to RT2 state cannot be performed.

When the RT2 shift replay (replay 2) is won internally in the RT1 state and the operating pattern is displayed on the effective line, the replay probability fluctuates and shifts to the RT2 state, and the replay probability rises to about 60%. However, it often fails.

In the RT1 transition replay (replay 1), when the player operates the stop button part 10, if the 6-option pressing order is accidentally correct and the RT2 transition replay is activated, the RT2 state is transitioned to, so RT1 is quickly performed. It has a function (that is, the same function as Koboshi eyes) for dropping into a state (fall replay).

The real bonus (RBB) can be won in the initial state, RT1 state, and RT2 state combination lottery, and is awarded via the RT4 state in the bonus. Note that this real bonus (RBB) is internally won at the same time as a small winning combination in the combination lottery, so there is no chance of winning immediately in the internally won game. Further, the real bonus is a type 1 role continuous operating device, but may be a type 1 role (RB: regular bonus) or a type 2 role continuous operating device. The specified number of inserted medals (game media) is 3 or 1, and the actual bonus (RBB) is drawn by lottery with the specified number of 3, but the actual bonus (RBB) is not drawn by lottery with the specified number of 1, which is disadvantageous. be.

When the real bonus (RBB) is internally won and the state is carried over (inside the RBB), the next game and thereafter will be in the RT4 state (the winning probability of the replay is about 1/2). In this carry-over state, a plurality of small wins and replay wins are drawn, but the actual bonus is not drawn (excluded from the win draw). In addition, as for the actual bonus, since it is possible to draw the bonus pattern onto the effective line when the player is purely losing (not winning), if the player puts in one specified number, it is purely losing (not winning). It is more advantageous than throwing in three cards because the probability of winning is greatly increased. In other words, the net loss probability L1 of the specified number of one card is set to be greater than the net loss probability L3 of the specified number of three cards (L1>L3). In addition, as a variant embodiment, it is also possible to make it possible to win a bonus symbol on the activated line when a pure loss (non-winning) or a rare small combination such as a cherry or watermelon combination is won. The actual bonus (RBB) is internally elected, the RBB is activated by the pattern display from the carrying over state (inside the RBB), the real bonus game is terminated when the predetermined number of payouts is exceeded, and the process shifts to RT0.

With reference to FIG. 61(B), the main control unit 100 determines that a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface in a state in which three or one (or two) game media of a prescribed number have been inserted. To enable the start of a pattern display game in which a plurality of drums are rotated. At the timing when the start lever is operated, the main control unit 100 draws a lottery for a winning combination, and upon receiving the operation of a stop button provided corresponding to each reel, stops the corresponding symbol rows individually. . The main control unit 100 provides game media (medals or credits) based on the result of the lottery for the winning combination and the display result of the symbols stopped on the activated line.

At the start of the game after the set values are reset, the game generally becomes a normal game, but there is an advantageous game (assist game) that is more advantageous than the normal game. is designed to control In addition, the main control unit 100 activates the instruction function in an advantageous game, and determines the activation amount (initial AT amount such as the number of games and the number of payouts, and the additional amount). For example, when the pressing order minor combination is won, the order of operation of the stop switch and the operation position of the stop switch are instructed to the player. The main control unit 100 refers to the number of games from when the actual bonus combination is internally won to when the actual bonus combination becomes operable in an advantageous game. For example, the number of games in which the actual bonus combination is internally won is set to 0, and the amount of activation of the assist function is determined based on the number of games with reference to the number of games from which the pure loss state occurred. Specifically, if the number of reference games is 1 or 2 games, the initial number of games is 100 games, and if the number of reference games is 3 or 4 games, the initial number of games is 80 games and the number of reference games is 5 games. If it is a game or 6 games, the initial number of games is determined to be 50 games, and if the number of reference games is 7 games or more, the initial number of games is determined to be 30 games. It should be noted that this reference data is determined in a game in which a real bonus combination is internally won. Therefore, when a real bonus combination is internally won in an advantageous game, the player throws in one coin because betting one coin makes it easier to draw a net loss. Further, the main control unit 100 instructs to bet one coin when the actual bonus combination is internally won in an advantageous game. For example, the main control unit 100 instructs the user to press the max bet button 8 for a long time. The sub-control unit 160 produces an effect as if the max bet button 8 is pressed for a long time. That is, the specified number of game media required to start the symbol display game includes a first specified number (three coins bet) and a second specified number (one coin bet) smaller than the first specified number. In a state in which a winning combination is internally won, the probability of pure loss is set higher with the second specified number than with the first specified number, so the probability of being able to display the operating symbols of the bonus combination is higher. It's becoming

FIG. 64 shows a game state transition diagram (RT state) and a game state.

The difference from FIG. 61 is that the main control unit 100 shifts the next symbol display game to the advantage zone game when the bonus combination is internally won in the lottery for the combination in the normal section game. In addition, the main control unit 100 can activate the instruction function in the advantageous zone game, but refers to the number of games until it becomes possible to display the operating pattern of the bonus combination internally won in the combination lottery. Determine the trigger amount. If the activation amount is 0, the special game is not won, but if the special game (AT or ART) is won, the activation amount is determined to be 1 game or more (1 game to 500 games). When the remaining activation amount becomes 0 in the special game, the main control unit 100 shifts from the special game to the normal section game with the establishment of the fall condition as a trigger. Others are the same as in FIG. 61, so the description is used.

FIG. 62 shows a game state transition diagram (RT state) and a game state. The following examples are modifications of the invention described with reference to FIG.

RT0 in FIG. 62 (A) is the initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination (replay combination) does not change, and the game or bonus (first The general game (or general game) is started in the initial state (also referred to as "initial replay state") from the game next to the end of the role continuous actuating device (RBB) related to the special role. The probability of winning a replay in this general game (replay probability) is about 1/7.3, and in particular, the RT1 transition replay (replay 1) and the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) are not internally won. In order to shift to , the koboshi of the above-mentioned push-order small combination must be displayed on the active line. On the other hand, RBB is internal winning, RBB carryover game, RBB is activated by symbol display, or even if it ends with payout exceeding a predetermined number (for example, 360), RT4, RBB internal RT, bonus game (1 type BB) ) and RT0, so it is not possible to shift to RT1 even by this route.

In the general game in the RT0 state, when a small winning combination (three-choice pressing order bell combination) is internally won, and the stopping operation procedure of the stop button 10 is missed, and the koboshi pattern is displayed on the active line, the next (The number of games to be continued is not defined, that is, infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1/7.3, and most of the winning combinations shown in FIG. 50 are drawn at random, so that single or multiple winning combinations can be won simultaneously. In other words, the game in the initial state and the RT1 state have almost the same replay probability of about 1/7.3, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is the RT1 state. However, in this initial state, RT1 transition replay to RT2 transition replay are not won, so unless the koboshi pattern is displayed on the activated line, the transition from RT1 state to RT2 state cannot be performed.

When the RT2 shift replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state, and the pressing order is correct and the operating pattern is displayed on the effective line, the replay probability changes and shifts to the RT2 state, and the replay probability increases. rises to about 67%. Loss becomes 0 in this RT2 state. However, the probability of losing can be set to about 1/65536 to 100/65536. On the other hand, by design, it is also possible to make the losers win more frequently (about 1000/65536).

In the RT1 transition replay (replay 1), when the player operates the stop button part 10, if the 6-option pressing order is accidentally correct and the RT2 transition replay is activated, the RT2 state is transitioned to, so RT1 is quickly performed. It has a function (that is, the same function as Koboshi eyes) for dropping into a state (fall replay).

The actual bonus (RBB) can be won in the RT0 state, RT1 state and RT2 state in the initial state, and is awarded after the RT4 state in the bonus (carried over). Note that this real bonus (RBB) is internally won at the same time as a small winning combination in the combination lottery, so there is no chance of winning immediately in the internally won game. Further, the RBB of the real bonus is a type 1 role continuous operating device, but may be a type 1 role (RB: regular bonus) or a type 2 role continuous operating device. The specified number of inserted medals (game media) is 3 or 1, and in a state in which no RBB is won, the actual bonus (RBB) is drawn by lottery with the specified number of 3, but with the specified number of 1, the real bonus is drawn. Since (RBB) is not drawn, it is disadvantageous to the player.

When the real bonus (RBB) is internally won and the state is carried over (inside the RBB), the next game and thereafter will be in the RT4 state (the winning probability of the replay is about 1/2). In this carry-over state, a plurality of small wins and replay wins are drawn, but the real bonus is not drawn (excluded from the win draw). In addition, as for the actual bonus, since it is possible to draw the bonus symbols onto the effective line when the player is purely unsuccessful (unsuccessful), if the player puts in a prescribed number of 1 cards, it is purely unsuccessful (unsuccessful). It is more advantageous than throwing in three cards because the probability of winning is greatly increased. That is, the net loss probability L1 for the specified number of one card is set to be greater than the net loss probability L3 for the specified number of three cards (L1>L3). In addition, as a variant embodiment, it is also possible to make it possible to win a bonus symbol on the activated line when a pure loss (non-winning) or a rare small combination such as a cherry or watermelon combination is won. The actual bonus (RBB) is internally elected, the RBB is activated by the pattern display from the carrying over state (inside the RBB), the real bonus game is terminated when the predetermined number of payouts is exceeded, and the process shifts to RT0.

With reference to FIG. 62(B), the main control unit 100 displays a plurality of types of patterns on the outer peripheral surface in a state in which three or one game media (or two, depending on the design) are inserted in a specified number of game media. To enable the start of a pattern display game in which a plurality of arranged drums are rotated. At the timing when the start lever is operated, the main control unit 100 draws a lottery for a combination, and upon receiving the operation of a stop button provided corresponding to each reel, stops the corresponding symbol rows individually. . The main control unit 100 provides game media (medals or credits) based on the result of the lottery for the winning combination and the display result of the symbol stopped on the activated line.

At the start of the game after the setting values are reset, the game generally becomes a normal game, but there is an advantageous game (assist game) that is more advantageous than the normal game, and the main control unit 100 makes a transition between the normal game and the advantageous game. is designed to control In addition, the main control unit 100 activates the instruction function in an advantageous game, and determines the activation amount (initial AT amount such as the number of games and the number of payouts, and the additional amount). In particular, the main control unit 100 gives a special game (ART winning) when a bonus combination is internally won in an advantageous game. This special game is a game in which the order of operations is notified to win a small win in the order of pushing, and is commonly referred to as an assist bonus, a third bonus, or an ART game. Also, the number of games to be played for instructing the insertion of one card is determined. The advantageous game is the game period from the establishment of the transition condition to the establishment of the falling condition.

The main control unit 100 turns on the advantageous section display LED 4g when shifting to the advantageous game, and turns off the advantageous section display LED 4g when shifting to the normal game. For example, in an advantageous game, when a small win in the order of pressing is won, the order of operation of the stop switch and the operation position (operation timing) of the stop switch are instructed to the player. The main control unit 100 refers to the number of games from the state in which the actual bonus combination is internally won in the advantageous game until the actual bonus combination becomes operable. For example, the game in which the actual bonus combination is internally won is set to 0, and the amount of activation of the assist function is determined based on the number of games with reference to the number of games from which the pure loss state occurred. Specifically, if the number of reference games is 1 or 2 games, the initial number of games is 100 games, and if the number of reference games is 3 or 4 games, the initial number of games is 80 games and the number of reference games is 5 games. If it is a game or 6 games, the initial number of games is determined to be 50 games, and if the number of reference games is 7 games or more, the initial number of games is determined to be 30 games. That is, the shorter the number of games until a net loss is drawn, the greater the number of initial games to be awarded. It should be noted that this reference data is determined in a game in which a real bonus combination is internally won. Therefore, when a real bonus combination is internally won in an advantageous game, the player will insert one coin because betting one coin will make it easier to get a net loss, which is a problem.

Therefore, the main control unit 100 determines the number of games to instruct to bet one coin when the actual bonus combination is internally won in an advantageous game. For example, if the number of games played is 5, the main control unit 100 instructs the sub-control unit 160 to press and hold the max bet button 8 in the fifth game, and in this case, press and hold the max bet button 8 for about 3 seconds. Then, the number of inserts is changed from 3 to 1. In other words, 2 of the 3 cards that had been put in are discarded to the lower tray, and 1 card is put in. The sub-control unit 160 produces an effect as if the max bet button 8 is pressed for a long time. That is, the specified number of game media required to start the symbol display game includes a first specified number (three coins bet) and a second specified number (one coin bet) smaller than the first specified number. In a state in which a winning combination is internally won, the probability of pure loss is set higher with the second specified number than with the first specified number, so the probability of being able to display the operating symbols of the bonus combination is higher. It's becoming It should be noted that if the player places a bet on one card without the instruction of the second prescribed number (bet on one card), the main control unit 100 does not refer to this number of games even if the winning lottery results in a net loss. . For example, even if one bet is made in the first game and the result is a net loss, it is not determined that the operating symbol of the bonus combination can be displayed from the state in which the bonus combination has been internally won. be disadvantageous to If the player bets 3 coins in the first game and loses the game (before the number of times the player is instructed to bet 1 coin), it means that he/she has drawn a loss by himself/herself. Since the control unit 100 determines that it is possible to display the operating symbols of the bonus combination from the state in which the bonus combination is internally won, the player is advantageous. The main control unit 100 determines an additional amount (activation amount), adds it, and gives it, triggered by internal winning of a bonus combination in a special game. The main control unit 100 shifts to the special game after the bonus game based on the bonus combination by the bonus symbol display.

FIG. 65 shows a game state transition diagram (RT state) and a game state.

The difference from FIG. 62 is that, in the normal section game, when a bonus combination is internally won in the combination lottery, the main control unit 100 shifts the next symbol display game to the advantageous section game. In addition, the main control unit 100 can activate the instruction function in the advantageous zone game, but refers to the number of games until it becomes possible to display the operation pattern of the bonus combination that was internally won in the combination lottery. Determine the trigger amount. If the activation amount is 0, the special game is not won, but if the special game (AT or ART) is won, 1 game or more (1 game to 500 games) is determined as the activation amount. When the remaining activation amount becomes 0 in the special game, the main control unit 100 shifts from the special game to the normal section game with the establishment of the fall condition as a trigger. Others are the same as in FIG. 62, so the description is used.

FIG. 63 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of awarding a special game (assist game).

The main control unit 100 controls the progress of the pattern display game in which a plurality of spinning drums having a plurality of types of patterns arranged on the outer peripheral surface are rotated (see FIG. 63(A)). The step set value is reset, the pattern display game becomes a normal section (normal section game), and the first game can be started when the specified number of medals are inserted. The normal section game is a section game in which the pointing function does not operate. The symbol display game has an advantageous section (advantageous section game) that is more advantageous than the normal section game because the instruction function can be operated. During the advantageous section game, the advantageous section display LED 4g is lit.

The main control unit 100 selects most of the combinations shown in FIG. 50 by random number lottery. In particular, when the bonus combination (RB: type 1 role) is not internally won, the bonus combination is drawn by lottery, but the bonus combination is not drawn during carryover. The main control unit 100 starts the bonus game when the operating symbols of the internally won bonus combination are displayed. In addition, the main control unit 100 has a function of determining whether or not to shift to an assist game (special game) in the advantageous section game. etc.). For example, the pressing order of the stop switch is: center, right, left, red 7, blue 7, black bar, and so on. The bonus game based on the bonus combination (RB: type 1 combination) is terminated when the result of the first predetermined number of games is obtained, or when the second predetermined number of small winning combinations is won. The predetermined number of times is set to either a value equal to the first predetermined number of times or a value smaller than the first predetermined number of times. For example, the timing for ending the bonus game is when 12 games have been completed or when 8 wins have been made (12 games>8 times). Also, it can be equal when 8 games are played or when 8 wins are won (8 games=8 times).

The main control unit 100 starts the bonus game when the operating symbols of the internally won bonus combination are displayed. In addition, the main control unit 100 has a function of determining whether or not to shift to an assist game (special game) in the advantageous section game. etc.). Specifically, the main control unit 100 sends a command to the sub-control unit 160 when informing the player of the operation mode of the stop switch that is advantageous to the player, and the sub-control unit 160 uses liquid crystal display, voice, LED, etc. The player is notified and assisted in winning the prize.

Referring to FIG. 63(B), the operating symbols for the bonus combination are red seven for the left reel, red seven for the middle reel, and red seven for the right reel. Since the bonus combination is won at the same time as the special replay combination and the rare small combination, in the game in which the bonus combination is won, no prize is won and the carryover state (RB carryover state) occurs. The small winning combination capable of displaying the operating pattern of the internally won bonus combination is a red seven for the left reel, a black BAR or white BAR for the middle reel, and a black BAR or white BAR for the right reel. In the normal section game in the RB carry-over state, the main control unit 100 shifts from the normal section game to the advantageous section game when a small winning combination is internally won (single internal winning). In this single internal winning state, when the player aims at the red seven symbol on the left spinning drum and performs a stop operation, the main control unit 100 stops the red seven symbol within the pull-in range on the effective line. In this state, since the red seven symbol, which is a common symbol, is stopped, it is possible to win not only the small winning combination but also the bonus combination.

Subsequently, when the second stopping operation is performed aiming at the black BAR pattern or the white BAR pattern of the middle drum, the main control unit 100 stops the black BAR pattern or the white BAR pattern within the pull-in range on the effective line. to put the entourage in a tenpai state. Finally, when the third stop operation is performed aiming at the black BAR pattern or the white BAR pattern on the right reel, the main control unit 100 stops the black BAR pattern or the white BAR pattern within the pull-in range on the effective line. Then, the player wins a small winning role and pays out one medal. On the other hand, if the stop operation is performed aiming at the red seven symbol in the third stop operation, the main control unit 100 cannot stop on the effective line because there is no black BAR symbol or white BAR symbol within the retraction range. I will miss the role.

Conversely, in a state where the red seven symbol of the common symbol is stopped on the effective line of the left spinning drum, when the stop operation is performed aiming at the red seven symbol of the middle spinning drum by the second stop operation, the main control unit 100 The red seven pattern within the pull-in range is stopped on the effective line, and the bonus combination is put in a tenpai state. When the third stopping operation is performed aiming at the red seven symbol on the right reel, the main control unit 100 stops the red seven symbol within the drawing range on the effective line and displays the bonus operating symbol. , to activate the bonus role. The main control unit 100 starts the bonus game from the next game, triggered by the display of the operating symbols of the internally won bonus combination. That is, the bonus game is started when the small winning combination is not won and the bonus operation pattern is displayed. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed aiming at the black BAR symbol or the white BAR symbol in the third stop operation, the main control unit 100 does not have the red seven symbol within the pull-in range and cannot stop on the effective line. will be lost. If the player fails to win the bonus combination, it is necessary to wait until the next small winning combination is internally elected, and at that time, the bonus combination can be won.

As described above, the small winning combination may be won singly, but preferably the small winning combination and the small hindering combination may be won at the same time. A combination in which a small win-win and a small win-win are won at the same time is called a bonus win-win. In the normal section game in the RB carry-over state, when the bonus lead-in combination is internally elected and the player aims at the red seven symbol on the left spinning drum and performs a stop operation, the main control unit 100 places the red seven symbol within the pull-in range on the effective line. stop. In this state, since the red seven symbol, which is the common symbol, is stopped, it is possible to win not only the small winning combination but also the bonus combination (the rest is as described above). On the other hand, since the replay of the small hindrance symbol is not stopped on the left lap, the small hindrance role cannot win a prize. In the normal section game in the RB carry-over state, when the bonus lead-in combination is internally won, when the player's first stop operation is the middle roll, the main control unit 100 selects a replay symbol within the lead-in range (attraction 100%). is stopped on the effective line, and when the player's first stop operation is the right reel, the main control unit 100 stops the bell pattern (attraction 100%) within the withdrawal range on the effective line. The main control unit 100 selects an operation mode (for example, middle first or right first) for not displaying the operation pattern of the bonus combination when the bonus lead-in combination is internally won during the special game in which the bonus combination is internally won. A notification command is sent to the sub-controller 160, and the sub-controller 160 notifies the player by liquid crystal display, sound, LED, etc., and assists the player in preventing the bonus combination from winning.

With reference to FIG. 63(C), the winning area of the minor winning combination in the bonus game will be described. Triggered by the operation of the start lever, the main control unit 100 extracts one Rd1 from the random numbers 0 to 65535 that are continuously generated. The main control unit 100 subtracts the number L1 from Rd1, and if the value is negative, the winning is 1. If the value is not negative, the number L2 is further subtracted from that value. However, as a variation, the winning 3 (pure losing) area may be eliminated. Note that the prescribed number of bonus games is three.

In winning 1, 3 types of 9-card small wins (FRU1 to FRU3) explained in FIGS. 51 to 53, rare small wins (cherry, watermelon) explained in FIG. . In Winning 2, 3 types of 9-piece small wins (FRU1 to FRU3) explained in FIGS. Duplicate roles won. The 9-card additional small combination is a small combination that is missed if a white BAR pattern is aimed at all of the left, middle, and right reels during the bonus game. The total number of payouts is less than the total number of insertions due to the overlap of the winning areas of the three types of 9-card small wins (see Patent Document 5). In Winning 2, a plurality of small one-card winning combinations and one additional small winning combination described in FIGS. 50 to 53 are won. The one-card additional small combination is a small combination that is missed if black BAR patterns are aimed at all of the left, middle, and right reels during the bonus game. Winning 3 is a pure loss, so there is no winning. In other words, if a player draws a pure loss, the game is counted as the number of non-wins because the player misses the game without hitting the target.

The main control unit 100 shifts the game to the advantageous zone game when the small winning combination is internally won in the normal zone game in which the bonus combination is internally won. Then, the main control unit 100 starts the bonus game when the small winning combination is not won and the operation pattern of the bonus combination is displayed. The main control unit 100 terminates the bonus game when a maximum of 12 games have been played or when 8 wins have been won, and continuously counts the number of times a small winning combination has not won during the bonus game (number of non-wins). . The maximum number of non-win prizes for this small combination is 12 times. The main control unit 100 determines to shift to a special game based on the number of non-wins of small wins. For example, when the bonus game ends, the main control unit 100 may win the special game with a probability of 100% if the number of non-winning small wins is 12 times. On the other hand, in the case of lottery, if the number of non-winning small wins is 12 times, the probability of winning or losing is determined with 95% probability, if it is 11 times, it is determined with probability of 90%, if it is 10 times, it is decided. 70% chance of winning/losing, 9 times deciding winning/losing with 50% probability, 8 times deciding winning/losing with 40% probability, 4-7 times deciding winning/losing 10%. , and if it is 3 times or less, it may be determined with a probability of 10%. When the bonus game ends, the main control unit 100 makes a winning/failure determination and transmits a determination result command to the sub-control unit 160, and the sub-control unit 160 notifies the result of the special game by liquid crystal display, sound, LED, or the like. When the special game is won, the main control unit 100 starts the special game at a predetermined timing, but if the special game is lost, the main control unit 100 controls the transition of the game state to either the advantageous zone game or the normal zone game.

FIG. 68 is a transition diagram of the game state (RT state) and game state.

As described with reference to FIG. 50, the main control unit 100 determines a bonus combination, a plurality of types of small combination (including a rare combination and a push order small combination), and a plurality of types of replay combination by lottery. to invoke. However, there is only one type of bonus combination, and even if the bonus combination is won, the winning probability of the replay is not changed, and medals are reduced in the bonus game. The present invention relates to a so-called AT machine that maintains a state in which a bonus combination is internally won.

A reel-type gaming machine executes a symbol display game in which a plurality of reels having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface are rotated. When the winning lottery means provided in the main control unit 100 draws a winning combination and receives the operation of the stopping means provided corresponding to each reel, the corresponding symbol rows are individually stopped and the symbols are displayed. Then, game media are provided according to the display mode of the symbols.

As the specified number of game media required to start the symbol display game, 3 (first specified number) and 2 smaller (second specified number: 1) are set. The pattern display game is performed with the specified number of two symbols only in the game under preparation, which is performed by the manufacturer or the game hall. In the initial state (RT0) in which the winning probability of the replay role does not change, when the specified number of 2 cards is inserted, the main control unit 100 draws a lottery for a small winning combination of 1 or 2, a loss or a replaying combination. (Refer to FIG. 68(B) double stacking before RT variation). When a small winning combination of 1 or 2 is won and a variable pattern is displayed, the main control unit 100 sets the period of a finite predetermined number of games to a replay probability changing state ( RT1) (see FIG. 68(B) after playing the game first with 2 coins and shifting to finite RT before entering the inside of the bonus). This finite predetermined number of games is a value (predetermined number of times N) that makes it impossible to actually complete the race. A value of 4294967296 of x256 is preferably used. Furthermore, the number of times N may be a value equal to or greater than 16777216 of 3 bytes. When a replay combination is determined by lottery, the main control unit 100 wins a replay, displays variable symbols, and similarly sets the replay probability variable state (RT1) for a predetermined number of times N. In RT1, all of the losing areas of RT0 are the winning areas of the replaying combination (however, 1/65536 to 10/65536 may be lost). In the replay probability fluctuation state (RT1) of the bonus internal winning state, even if the game is played with two pieces, the game is not lost, and the main control unit 100 gives priority to replay over the bonus combination and to the small combination over the bonus combination. Since the pattern is drawn in, the bonus will not be awarded.

When the state is shifted to the replay probability variation state (RT1) and the next game is played with 3 coins, the main control unit 100 selects a small combination winning area such as a pushing order small combination, a bonus combination and a small combination winning area, A winning combination is determined by lottery from among the replay winning areas in which RT does not change, and the number of remaining RT games in the replay probability variable state is set to N-1. Note that the number of RT games played in the replay probability variable state may be set to one. That is, both can be said to be the number of games counted until reaching the predetermined number of games. Assuming that the bonus hand and one small hand are won in the 10th game, the number of remaining RT games is N-10 (the number of completed RT games is 10). There is no winning, and one small winning combination becomes a winning or missing (non-winning). Even if this bonus combination is won, the main control unit 100 maintains the winning probability of the replay at RT1 (or does not change it at RT1). Up to this point, the game is in preparation, and from the next game, the bonus is in progress (the bonus role is carried over), and the general game can be started. The main control unit 100 displays a warning sound and a warning message saying "Being prepared" in the game under preparation, and terminates the warning sound and warning message when the inside of the bonus is reached. The normal game (the symbol display game) includes a normal game and an advantageous game that is more advantageous than the normal game and is capable of activating the instruction function. With reference to the number of remaining RT games subtracted from the predetermined number N of games (or the number of completed RT games counted with the execution of the symbol display game), a lottery regarding the instruction function is performed. Furthermore, the main control unit 100 refers to the lottery result of the combination (cherry, watermelon, chance, rare combination such as special replay, etc.) and the number of remaining RT games, and performs a lottery related to the instruction function. .

Incidentally, as described above, if the set number of the losing two-coin game is set to 1 to 10, it is possible to win a bonus combination when the normal game within the bonus is lost. When the winning symbol of the bonus combination is displayed, a real bonus game (during BB) with three coins is played, and the game ends when the predetermined number of payouts is exceeded, returning to the initial state (RT0). Also, if the bonus is established by mistakenly placing 3 coins first, the initial state can be restored by aligning the bonuses with 2 coins.

FIG. 69 is a drum pattern layout table.

On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c, a belt (not shown) on which a left drum pattern, a middle drum pattern and a right drum pattern are drawn goes around the outer circumference of each drum. affixed to.

Twenty different patterns are arranged on each belt. There are two types of bonus hands, and although it is irregular, bonus hand 1 (a device for continuously actuating the first type of special hand, hereinafter referred to as "RBB1") is activated with a pattern of "BAR, watermelon, red seven", "BAR/Watermelon/Blue Seven", which is a pattern that activates the bonus role 2 (a device for continuously actuating the bonus role 2 (hereinafter referred to as "RBB2"); 10 kinds of patterns are drawn, namely, middle upper cherry, middle lower cherry, upper flower blank, lower flower blank, bell, and replay. Although the bonus combination is described as RBB, it may be RB (first class special role) or MBB (second type special role continuously operating device).

FIG. 70 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

When all the three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 determines the combination display of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window part 3 according to the number of inserted game medals (dedicated to three general games). (See FIG. 70(A)).

FIG. 70(B) shows the effective line when three prescribed number of game medals are inserted. The first line (middle row, middle row, middle row: center horizontal straight line) is valid. Note that in the bonus game (RBB: when the first-class accessory continuous actuating device is activated), the specified number of game medals is three, and the activated line is exactly the same as the first line.

FIG. 71 shows a payout table and the like when the accessory is not activated (during a normal game, the specified number is 3). FIG. 72 is a conceptual diagram showing game state transition diagrams and lottery probabilities of various combinations.

When all the three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 determines the combination display of the winning or operation-related symbols on the effective line (see FIG. 70) according to the number of inserted game medals. In this case, the number of inserted cards is 3, and the effective line is only one horizontal line at the center.

(1) Bonus combination 1 (RBB1: Accessory continuous actuating device for type 1 special accessory): When BAR on the left drum 2a, Watermelon on the middle drum 2b, and Red Seven on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line. , the number of acquired cards is 0, and then a big bonus game 1 (RBB 1 game) is awarded. There is only one type of combination pattern of the bonus combination, and even if the internal winning is done independently, the predetermined bonus combination pattern does not stop on the effective line unless the stop operation timing of the stop button part 10 is matched, so that the next game and thereafter. will be carried over to This RBB1 game ends when the number of payouts (the number of winnings) exceeds 59, but the number of inserted cards is 3, and the expected number of payouts per game is less than 3 as described later. (For example, about 2 medals), so when the RBB game ends, the number of medals will almost certainly decrease in calculation (in other words, the expected value of increasing the number of medals in one RBB game is minus 1 medal). In other words, the RBB game is in a disadvantageous gaming state for the player, and about 30 games are played to exceed the payout number of 59 coins. decrease.

In the normal game state (RT0 state: replay winning probability is about 1/7.3 of the predetermined value), if the bonus combination (RBB) is internally won (conditional device is activated) and the carryover state is entered, at least the next game and thereafter The winning probability of the replay fluctuates and becomes a high-probability replay state (RT1 state: replay probability of about 1/1.8). When this bonus combination pattern is displayed (winning) and the RBB game by the activation of the bonus combination is completed (completion of operation), the replay winning probability changes and returns to the initial state (RT0 state). In other words, the player will play the variable display game in any one of the RT0 state, RT1 state, and RBB game state. It should be noted that this initial state (RT0 state: non-fluctuation state of replay probability) is a transitional state (game preparation state) until it shifts to the RT1 state. It is only after the setting is changed until RBB is internally elected. When the setting is changed, the internally selected RBB flag 1 or RBB flag 2 is initialized and returns from 1 to 0. Similarly, an internally won bonus combination is won simultaneously with a minor combination, so that there is almost no winning, and the player rarely plays the RBB game (see FIG. 72(A)).

(2) Bonus combination 2 (RBB2: Accessory continuous actuating device for first class special accessory): When BAR on the left drum 2a, Watermelon on the middle drum 2b, and Blue Seven on the right drum 2c stop on the effective line. , the number of acquired cards is 0, and then a big bonus game 2 (RBB2 game) is awarded. There is only one type of combination pattern of the bonus combination, and even if the internal winning is done independently, the predetermined bonus combination pattern does not stop on the effective line unless the stop operation timing of the stop button part 10 is matched, so that the next game and thereafter. will be carried over to Since the rest is the same as the bonus combination 1, the explanation is omitted.

(3) Various bell combinations: For example, the middle bell (FRU7) is a combination name when the bell symbols are aligned on the effective line of each drum and stopped, and the number of acquired bells is 10. In addition, the upper bell (FRU2) whose bell pattern is displayed horizontally in the upper row (see FIG. 71(B)), the lower bell (FRU5) whose bell pattern is displayed in a horizontal row in the lower row, and the bell pattern is displayed in a straight line downward to the right. The bell of FRU1 which is descending to the right (see FIG. 71(C)), the bell of which the bell pattern is displayed in a straight line rising to the right (FRU3), and the bell of FRU6 which is displayed like a hill (FIG. 72) (D)), and FRU4 folded bells (see Fig. 72 (E)) that are displayed as if the bell pattern is broken (displayed at the bottom, middle, and middle of the reels), and the number of acquisitions is 10 for each. . While the winning areas of various bell combinations during the RBB game overlap, only one small combination is won in the other areas, so medals are reduced during the RBB.

(4) Rare small win & 1 piece small win: Middle cherry (strong cherry) with a cherry pattern displayed in the middle row of the left drum 2a, weak cherry with a cherry pattern displayed in the upper or lower row of the left drum 2a, and a watermelon pattern. There is a strong watermelon that is displayed in a horizontal line in the upper row, a weak watermelon that is displayed in a straight line downward to the right, and a chance watermelon that is displayed as if the watermelon pattern is broken in the downward right direction (displayed as if you missed it). The number of acquired coins is defined as one or two. A single small combination (for example, FRU11: Bell/Hanaue Bra/Red Seven/Nakashita Choi/Replay) is designed to be won simultaneously with RBB1 or RBB2, which inhibits winning of a bonus combination.

(5) Multiple types of one-card roles: For example, when the left drum 2a (replay/blue seven), the middle drum 2b (middle upper choi), and the right drum 2c (blue seven) are aligned on the effective line and stop. , 1 card combination 1 (FRU 17) wins. The number of acquired medals (game media) is one. This single hand is a small hand for stop control, and there are multiple types of single hand 1 to single hand n (n is a natural number of 2 or more) as required, but other single hand are also available. Since only the pattern is different, the explanation is omitted. At the time of the second stop operation (first operation correct, second operation incorrect), as FRU 9, the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (replay/red seven), and the right drum 2c (bell/watermelon), etc. exist.

(6) Multiple types of replay roles (replay roles): This is the role name when the replay symbols on each drum are aligned on the effective line, and no medals are earned for this, but the number of bets in the game is maintained. The next game can be played in this state. It is effective even if the coins are collected continuously after the next game, and the game can be continued without consuming coins until the game in which the replay is not established. An effect of automatically inserting medals is performed before the start of the game, and the next game can be started by the player's operation of the start lever 9.例文帳に追加When a normal replay is independently won internally in a random number lottery, an RP1 flag is set in the flag area and a replay pattern is always displayed. Visually, the replay patterns are aligned horizontally in the center. The replay probability does not change even if the operating pattern of the replay combination is displayed. In addition, there is a right downward replay in which replay symbols are displayed in a straight line downward to the right.

In FIG. 72(A), a general game (indicated as "general game" in the figure) starts from the next game after the big bonus game (any RBB game) has ended. The replay probability (probability of winning the replay) in this general game is approximately 1/7.3 (number 8978/65536) (initial replay state: state in which the replay probability does not change). Note that when the setting is changed, the RBB flag is initialized and the RBB flag disappears, returning to the initial replay state.

In the general game, when RBB, which is a bonus combination, is internally won and the RBB wins in the game, the RBB game is started from the next game. The RBB game ends when the payout of medals exceeds the predetermined number of 59 medals, and from the next game onwards, a normal replay state with a low probability of winning a replay combination is entered. It should be noted that it is almost impossible for the general game→the RBB to be internally won→the RBB prize to be awarded→the RBB game to pay out more than 59 cards→the RBB game to end→the general game. "Medium game") will be repeated. The general game can be said to be a so-called "preparation state" before shifting to the internal middle game.

Referring to FIG. 72(B), the set numbers for RBB1 or RBB2 to win alone are 4, the winning probability is 1/16384, and the total is 1/8192. is very low. However, if you do not aim for BAR, watermelon, and red seven (RBB2 is blue seven) at the timing of internal winning, you will not win unless you aim. No benefit.

The set number for simultaneous winning of RBB1 and a small winning combination with a pressing order of 1 is 5500, and RBB1 cannot be won because of the small winning combination priority control. The set number for simultaneous winning of RBB2 and a small win with a pressing order of one is 500, and similarly RBB2 cannot be won. Since the sum of registered numbers of RBB1 is 5504 and the sum of registered numbers of RBB2 is 504, the winning probability of RBB1 is about 11 times higher than that of RBB2. The winning flag of RBB1 or RBB2 is carried over until RBB wins, but the winning flag disappears when the staged set value of the payout rate is reset. However, as a variation, if the step set value is reset, the winning flag of RBB1 disappears, but even if the step setting value is reset, the winning flag of RBB2 may be maintained. Further, an indicator may be provided inside the gaming machine to indicate that the winning flag of RBB2 is set. For example, a full-color LED is provided in the main board, and when the main control unit 100 is in a ready state, it is turned off (or yellow), when RBB1 is internally elected, it is lit in red, and when RBB2 is internally elected, it is lit in blue. Lighting control may be performed so that This is because, as will be described later, the game performance is increased when the RBB2 flag is set rather than when the RBB1 flag is set.

This RBB1 game ends when the number of payouts (the number of winnings) exceeds 59, but the number of inserted cards is 3, and the expected number of payouts per game is less than 3 as described later. (For example, about 2 medals), so when the RBB game ends, the number of medals will almost certainly decrease in calculation (in other words, the expected value of increasing the number of medals in one RBB game is minus 1 medal). In other words, the RBB game is in a disadvantageous gaming state for the player, and about 30 games are played to exceed the payout number of 59 coins. decrease.

On the other hand, even if the RBB is internally won in the general game, if the RBB winning is avoided, a high probability replay state (RT1) in which the bonus combination is internally won (inside the RBB) is entered (see hatched area in FIG. 72A). ). In this RT1 state, there is no loss (no winning) as will be described later, so the player can play the variable display game in a very advantageous game state. In the RT1 state, the set number of losers may be set to about 1 to 10, and a freeze effect may be performed when a loser is drawn with a probability of 1/65536 to 10/65536 to add a large amount of assist function. In this case, the loss becomes a freeze trigger role or a freeze confirmation role.

During the normal game (see FIG. 72(B)), the registered number obtained by summing the RBBs is 6008 (5500+500+4+4), and the winning probability is 6008/65536. The set numbers of the small pressing order bell combinations of the six options are respectively 22000, and in this case, any one of the pressing order bell combination 1 to the pressing order bell combination 6 is internally won with a probability of about 1/3. However, a plurality of different one-piece small wins are basically won at the same time for the purpose of pushing order control and timing control. The number of rare small wins such as middle cherry and strong watermelon is 1,000, and the number of replay wins is 8,978. However, basically, a plurality of different replay hands can be won at the same time, and replays corresponding to rare hands such as special replays are also included.

In any RBB (see FIG. 72(C)), the winning probability is 0 because the RBB lottery is not performed. Note that "inside the RBB" means that the RBB flag is set and the RBB has already hit and is carried over. During this RBB, there is a high probability replay state (RT state) in which the winning probability of replay fluctuates. The lottery area with the number 4 where the RBB shown in FIG. 72(B) wins alone and the lottery area with the number 27550 where the RBB is not won become new winning areas for replay. Therefore, the original replay number of 8978 plus the number of 27558 is 36536, and the probability of winning the replay is 36536/65536 (approximately 1/1.8) and the probability of not winning is 0. That is, inside the RBB 1 where there is no loss, the assist function is activated to notify the pushing order for winning the target small winning combination (the bell winning number of 10) that constitutes the 6-choice pushing order small winning combination. Thus, the player can efficiently acquire medals. However, within the RBB2, the target minor combination cannot be won unless the operation sequence and the operation timing are correct for the 6-choice pressing order minor combination. That is, when one of the 6 push order minor wins is won in the game inside the RBB 2, the main control unit 100 is operated in the prize winning operation order and selects a specific symbol row (for example, The first stop is the correct reel.If the correct operation order of the pressing order small combination is left, center, right, it will be the left reel) is the winning operation timing, and when the stop switch is operated, control to win the target small combination conduct. On the other hand, if the specific symbol row is not operated at the winning operation timing (the left reel is operated near the No. 4 red seven symbol), the main control unit 100 controls so as not to win the target minor combination, as will be described later. to do. In addition, the setting number 6000 of the area where any RBB and one small winning combination in the pressing order are simultaneously won becomes the winning area for the RBB in the inside and the one small winning combination in the pressing order.

FIG. 73 is a combination table (simultaneous winning patterns of small wins) of conditional devices for left-pressing smaller wins (left first).

The small winning combination of pressing order (small winning combination of pressing order of bell) has six options for the order of operation of the stop button section 10 (the order of pressing the stop button section 10). In the case of , when winning any one of the multiple types of one-piece small wins that are simultaneously won, and one of the multiple koboshi eyes (dropped pattern of the bell small win, dividend 0) It is a duplicate winning small role that may be displayed.

For the left pressing order bell 1, the correct first stop operation is the left stop button 10a, and the following correct second stop operation is the pressing order small combination of the middle stop button 10b. There are four types of left-pressing order bell 1, from left-pressing order bell 1-1 to left-pressing order bell 1-4. The stop button part 10 cannot be operated aiming at the pattern so as not to spill it. The left-pressing order bell 1 is a two-time-pressing order type six-choice pressing order small role, and the first small role (Right-down bell role: FRU7) for the purpose of winning a prize, and the purpose of inhibiting the winning of the first small role A plurality of types of second small wins that constitute the second small win group (in this case, four types of one small wins (FRU17, FRU22, FRU27, FRU32) and the first small win for the purpose of inhibiting the winning of the first small win The 3rd small role that makes up the 3 small roles (FRU9: 4 types of pattern combinations, either (replay) on the left drum, (replay/red seven) on the middle drum, or (bell/watermelon) on the right drum A small winning combination that can be won in the display) is won at the same time (see left-pressing order bell 1-1 in FIG. 73).Left-pressing order bell 1-2 to left-pressing order bell 1-4 have the same basic configuration, so they will be explained. omitted.

As for the left push order bell 2, the correct first stop operation is the left stop button 10a, and the following correct second stop operation is the push order minor combination of the right stop button 10c. Since there are four types of left push order bells 2 from push order bells 2-1 to left push order bells 2-4, the player selects the number (stop symbol) of each reel in the same manner as the left push order bell 1. It is not possible to operate the stop button part 10 aiming at a symbol so as not to miss one hand. FRU2 is the first minor combination whose purpose is to win a prize, and the rest is the same as left-pressing order bell 1, so the description is omitted. Note that the left-press order bell 2-2 to left-press order bell 2-4 have the same basic configuration, so description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 74 is a condition device combination table (simultaneous winning patterns of small wins) for medium-press order small wins (medium first).

For the middle push order bell 3, the correct first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, and the following correct second stop operation is the push order small role of the left stop button 10a. Since there are four types of middle-pressing order bells 3-1 to 3-4 for middle-pressing order bells 3-4, the player should look at the dots (stop symbols) of each reel so as not to miss one hand. , the stop button portion 10 cannot be operated aiming at the pattern. The middle-pressing order bell 3 is a two-time-pressing-order type pressing-order small role, and includes a first small role (middle-stage bell role: FRU4) whose purpose is to win a prize, and a second small role whose purpose is to prevent the first small role from winning a prize. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, four types of one-sheet small wins) constituting a group of wins, and a third small win (FRU10) for the purpose of inhibiting the winning of the first small win are won at the same time (Fig. (Refer to 3-1 for the push order of 74). Note that the middle-pressing order bell 3-2 to the middle-pressing order bell 3-4 have the same basic configuration, so description thereof will be omitted.

For the middle-press order bell 4, the correct first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, and the following correct second stop operation is the right stop button 10c. Since there are four types of the middle-press order bell 4 from the middle-press order bell 4-1 to the middle-press order bell 4-4, the player looks at the appearance (stop symbol) of each reel and 1 like the middle-press order bell 3. The stop button part 10 cannot be operated aiming at a pattern so as not to miss a winning combination. FRU3 is the first minor combination whose purpose is to win a prize. Note that since the middle-press order bell 4-2 to the middle-press order bell 4-4 have the same basic configuration, the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 75 is a combination table (simultaneous winning patterns of minor wins) of condition devices for right-pressing order minor wins (right first).

As for the right pressing order bell 5, the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the following correct second stop operation is the pressing order small combination of the left stop button 10a. Since there are four types of right-pressing order bells 5 from right-pressing order bells 5-1 to right-pressing order bells 5-4, the player looks at the dots (stop symbols) of each reel and fails to get one. Therefore, the stop button part 10 cannot be operated aiming at the pattern. The right-pressing order bell 3 is a two-time-pressing-order type pressing-order small combination. The first small combination (lower bell: FRU5) is intended to win a prize, and the second small combination is intended to hinder the winning of the first small combination. A plurality of types of second small wins (in this case, four types of single small wins) that make up the winning combination and a third small win (FRU11) intended to prevent the winning of the first small win are won at the same time (Fig. (Refer to 5-1 for the push order of 75). Note that since the right push order bell 5-2 to the right push order bell 5-4 have the same basic configuration, the description thereof will be omitted.

As for the right pressing order bell 6, the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the following correct second stop operation is the pressing order small combination of the middle stop button 10b. Since there are four types of middle-pressing order bells 6 from right-pressing order bell 4-1 to right-pressing order bell 4-4, the player selects the number (stop symbol) of each reel in the same manner as the right-pressing order bell 5. It is not possible to operate the stop button part 10 aiming at a symbol so as not to miss one hand. FRU6 is the first minor combination whose purpose is to win a prize, and the rest is the same as the right push order bell 5, so the description is omitted. Since the right push order bell 6-2 to the right push order bell 6-4 have the same basic configuration, the explanation is omitted.

76 and 77 are schematic diagrams showing the pattern display state of the window in chronological order.

In a reel-type game machine, there is a method of stopping the reels aiming at a specific pattern for the purpose of winning almost all the small wins that are internally won. As this specific pattern, many models adopt a BAR pattern (DDT point) that stands out in black on the left drum 2a, and this hitting method is called the DDT hitting method derived from insecticide. A cherry pattern is arranged below the BAR pattern, and when the cherry combination is not won, the BAR pattern stops at the lower stage (BAR drop). When the cherry combination is won, the cherry symbol is stopped in the middle row or the corner, and the cherry combination can be won. On the other hand, when the watermelon role is won, the BAR pattern slides one frame from the lower stage and the watermelon pattern stops at the upper stage. I do.

A skilled player, who plays a slot game with the DDT method, feels uncomfortable with the watermelon pattern stopping on the left drum 2a even though the watermelon role has not been won. It is an invention of pushing order small role for solving. It is another object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of intentionally changing or adjusting the wave of paid out balls by changing stop control depending on whether bonus combination 1 or bonus combination 2 is internally won. It is an invention to

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the left-pressing order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. Different minor wins are won at the same time), and based on the operation order information (123), it is determined that the operation order of left→middle→right is the winning operation order. However, the operation sequence information may be 0 for left, middle, right, 1 for left, right, middle, 2 for middle, left, right, 3 for middle, right, left, 4, right, left, middle, and 5 for right, middle, left.

In the state of FIG. 76A, the main control unit 100 executes the stop calculation processing based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information, and no matter what timing the player operates the stop button unit 10, the stop button unit 10 is stopped. Create a sliding frame number table so that stop control can be performed immediately. Also, after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation, the sliding frame number table is similarly created. As operation timing information, symbol numbers to be stopped on the active line (for example, 12th symbol and 17th symbol as replay symbols) are stored. For example, when the 12th symbol is actually stopped, the main control unit 100 determines that the operation was performed at the correct timing.

The left-pressing order bell 1-1 includes a left-pressing order bell 1-1a and a left-pressing order bell 1-1b. In other words, half of the winning area of the left-pressing order bell 1-1 wins the left-pressing order bell 1-1a, while the remaining half wins the left-pressing order bell 1-1b. The left-press order bell 1-1a has a correct operation order of left, middle, right, and the correct operation timing (correct stop pattern information) is the 12th symbol and 17th symbol, while the left-press order bell 1-1b has a correct operation. The order is left, middle, right, and the correct operation timing (correct stop pattern information) is the 2nd pattern and the 7th pattern.

FIG. 76(A) shows a state in which all the drum units 2 are rotating from top to bottom, and it is assumed that in the RT1 state in which RBB1 is internally won, the left-pressing order bell 1-1a is won. In the RT1 state inside the RBB1, when Bell 1 to Bell 6 in the order of pressing is won, a small bell win (small target win) is won simply by operating the stop button 10 in the correct order of operation, and a dropout occurs. Because it is difficult to play, the base will increase (for example, 50 games/1,000 yen).

In this state, when the player performs the first stop operation on the notified correct operation order of the left stop button 10a aiming at the BAR symbol in the DDT hitting method (see FIG. 76(A)), the main control unit 100 Referring to the sliding frame number table, based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, the middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw the replay pattern of the right down bell role to the effective line. (The drum portion 2 is simply moved by the number of slide frames, and four frames are slid in FIG. 76(B)). In the state of FIG. 76(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c may be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation on the middle stop button 10b in the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, 0 to 4 frames. The middle drum 2b is stopped within the range of . In the state of FIG. 76(C), only FRU1 is in a tense state. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated. The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, performs control to draw the replay pattern to the effective line, and controls the right Win the descending bell combination (see FIG. 76(D)).

77(A) and 77(B) are the same states as FIGS. 76(A) and 76(B), so description thereof will be omitted.

In the state of FIG. 77(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c may be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation on the right stop button 10c of the incorrect operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table because of the incorrect operation order, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. , the middle drum 2b is stopped within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw, for example, a bell pattern or a watermelon pattern to the effective line (see FIG. 77(C)). In the state of FIG. 77(C), the FRU 9 is in a tense state. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated. The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and controls the drawing of the replay pattern or the red seven pattern to the effective line. to ensure that FRU 9, which is a small hindering hand, wins (in this case, it is not lost. See FIG. 77(D)). When the first stop operation is an incorrect operation and either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c is operated, the main control unit 100 stops the corresponding reel, and the FRU17, FRU22, FRU27, Any one of the symbols of the FRU 32 is displayed on the active line. For example, if the BAR symbol stops on the effective line of the middle drum 2b and the subsequent operation timing is correct, the FRU 32 wins and one coin is paid out. On the other hand, if the operation timing after that is wrong, a missing symbol is displayed and the payout is 0.

FIG. 78 is a schematic diagram showing the pattern display state of the window in chronological order.

FIG. 78(A) shows a state in which all the drum sections 2 are rotating from top to bottom. RBB1 described in FIGS. 76 and 77 is not the internal winning, but the RT1 state in which RBB2 is internally winning (however, RT1b state with a different type of replay may be used). If any one of Bell 1 to Bell 6 in the order of pressing is won, the stop button 10 of the first operation is operated in the correct operation order, and the first stop operation timing is correct, the bell small combination (target small combination). Since it becomes possible to win prizes and it is easy to lose money, the base is lowered (for example, 30 games/1,000 yen).

Assuming that the left push order bell 1-1a is won in the RT1 state inside RBB2, the main control unit 100 wins the left push order bell 1-1a in the RT1 state assist game in which RBB2 is internally won. Since the correct operation order is left, middle, right, and the correct operation timing (correct stop pattern information) is the 12th pattern or the 17th pattern, it is notified that the timing of the first stop operation is the BAR pattern (for example, voice and the image, and the LED display tells you to aim for the left and BAR). In this state, the player operates the left stop button 10a in the notified correct operation order. When the first stop operation is performed aiming at the red seven symbol of 4 (see FIG. 78 (A)), the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, from 0 frame to The middle drum 2b is stopped within the range of 4 frames, and control is performed to draw the replay pattern of the falling right bell to the effective line. The drum section 2 is simply moved by the number of sliding frames, and in FIG. 2 replay symbols are stopped on the active line.

In the state of FIG. 78(B), the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c may be operated. Since the replay symbol stopped on the active line is the 2nd symbol and not the 12th or 17th symbol of the correct symbols to be stored, it is determined that the operation timing is incorrect. As a result, in creating the sliding frame number table after the first stop operation, the main control unit 100, even with the middle stop button 10b of the correct operation order, similarly to the right stop button 10c of the incorrect operation order, Data is created so as to draw in the pattern of FRU9, which is a small hindrance. When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop button 10b of the correct operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, the range of 0 frames to 4 frames. The middle drum 2b is stopped at , and control is performed to pull the replay pattern into the active line (see FIG. 78(C)). In the state shown in FIG. 78(C), only FRU9 is in a tense state. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated. The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 frames to 4 frames, and performs control to pull the bell pattern into the effective line, Win FRU9 (see FIG. 78(D)).

When the second stop operation is the right stop button 10c of the incorrect operation sequence, similarly, the bell pattern of FRU9 is stopped on the effective line to enter a ten-ply state, and the third stop operation causes FRU9 to win (Fig. 77 (C ) and the description of FIG. 77(D)). On the other hand, if the replay symbol stopped on the active line is the 12th symbol (see the description of FIGS. 76(B) to 76(D)), it matches the 12th or 17th symbol of the correct symbols to be stored. (included), it is determined that the operation timing is correct, so if the middle stop button 10b is subsequently operated, the target minor role FRU1 will be tense, while if the right stop button 10c is operated, the inhibiting minor role FRU9 to temper. Since the following is similar to FIGS. 76 and 77, the detailed description thereof is used.

It should be noted that the middle-pressed small win and the right-pressed small win are the same as the left-pressed small win, and in the RT1 state inside the RBB 1, the target small win is won simply by operating the stop button unit 10 in the correct order of operation. However, in the RT1 state inside the RBB2, when the first stop operation is correct and the stop symbol displayed on the active line of the symbol row stopped by that operation matches at least one of the correct symbols to be stored. After that, when the stop switch is operated in the winning operation order, the main control unit 100 performs control to win the target minor winning combination. is operated, the first stop operation is erroneous, so the main control unit 100 performs control so as not to win the target minor combination. The notification means uses sound, video, and an LED display to notify ``Aim for the red seven in the middle'' or ``Aim for the blue seven on the right''.
