At the same time, a sound effect generation command signal is sent from the central processing bag v1800 to the sound generator 820.

A sound effect is emitted from a speaker 822 via an amplifier 821. Then, the 1-node discharge device 446 is activated and a predetermined number of discharges (for example, 9
0 prize balls are ejected.

After the occurrence of this "lag", the number of acquisitions as the number of lh wins per time automatically becomes "5" based on the fixed data in the ROM 810, and the bet is made based on the command from the central processing unit 800. The number display section L2c, the line display section 1 at the right end of the middle row coarse adjustment designation display line b-b is lit, and only the combinations displayed in the middle row combination 1n fixed display line b-bl- are valid.

During this "backward" period, for each game, a predetermined display combination (for example, "JAC, JAC.

When the combination of JACJ) is completed, the central processing unit 80
A predetermined number (for example, 'gO pieces) of prize balls will be given by the command from 0. Moreover, when this "intermediate offer" occurs, an H-level intermediate signal is sent from the central processing unit +'?800 to the output latch circuit 860, as shown in FIG. 11(B).

The predetermined display combination (for example, rJAC, JAC,
JACJ combination) is more likely to occur. The player can play such a bonus game 11 a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times) as shown in FIG. 11. However, if the number of prize balls acquired by the player (actual increase) during the period of "slowing" reaches a predetermined number (for example, 1000) before the predetermined number of times ends, then (
As shown in B), at that point, the intermediate object signal becomes level I, and the "backwards" game state is ended and the normal game state is returned. Even at the time of this "offer" game Ax, if prize format displays other than the predetermined display (rJAC, JAC, JACJ) are aligned on the combination designation display line b-b-hi in the middle row, the number will be determined according to the prize format. Prize balls will be awarded.

``Kojima Ri'' gives the player a one-time profit from trying the bonus game 11 above, rather than a continuous profit such as when winning a jackpot or making a offer, and the game t is Combination designation display line (a”g) corresponding to the number of bets placed
This occurs when a combination of displays that produce a "small vehicle weight" (for example, a combination of displays where three lemon pictures line up) is met.The occurrence of this "small win" is also stored in the RAM 811. The probability of occurrence is controlled by random number processing in the central processing unit 800 based on the divisor, and the central processing unit 8
00, as shown in FIG. 11(C), the small hit operation confirmation signal is likely to be generated after being sent to the output latch circuit 860. When this “1 small hit” occurs,
Based on a single line command signal from the central processing unit 800, a fluorescent light (N not shown) on the back side of the corresponding display section (a-g) as the prize mode establishment display section 28A is activated via the output latch circuit 860 and the driver 861. The light is turned on to clearly indicate that the "small tooth" is established.At the same time, a sound effect generation command signal is sent from the central processing unit 800 to the sound generator 820, and the amplifier 8
A sound effect is emitted from a speaker 822 via 21.

Then, the ejection device 446 is activated and the ejection detector 445
A predetermined number of prize balls are ejected under the ejection control by the.

When this ``small vehicle weight'' occurs, the player can try the same bonus game only once as is played when the ``jackpot'' occurs.

When a "small island" occurs, the number of bets taken as the number of bets is automatically set to "5" based on the fixed data in the ROM 810, and the combination designation display line in the middle of the bet number display section 12C1 is automatically set to "5" based on the fixed data of the ROM 810. The line display section "mouth" at the right end of b-b is lit, and only the combinations displayed on the combination designation display line b-b in the middle are valid.

Only in the first game 11 after the occurrence of this "small hit", the central processing unit 800 outputs the output latch circuit 860 as shown in FIG. 8
A predetermined combination (for example) is displayed on the combination designation display line l)-b in the middle.

rJAC, JAC, JACJ) are controlled to be easily arranged, and when they are arranged, a predetermined number (for example, 90) of prize balls are given out by the ejecting device i1446.

``The benefit of the chance to play the bonus game given to the player by the occurrence of a small car heavy pa is only one time, and after that one time is over, the small accessory signal from the central processing unit 800 is 1. level and return to the normal game.

During the normal game, the above ``jackpot'', ``medium offer'', ``
When a general prize type other than a "small win" occurs, rewards are given out in accordance with the prize type each time, but profits from the above-mentioned bonus game are not given.

As described above, when a jackpot J#, 1j medium hit'', or ``°small vehicle weight'' occurs and the prize ball is discharged by the discharge device 446, the stored number stored in the RΔM811 is a predetermined number (for example, 750 pieces).

A storage/discharge switching device (storage/discharge switching solenoid) 448 is activated by a command from the central processing unit 800, and the prize balls flow into the ball storage tank 460 via the storage gutter 450.

The number of prize balls that have flowed in is counted by the discharge detector 445, and the counted number of prize balls is added to the stored memory number and stored in the RAM 811 as a new stored memory number. The number is displayed on the storage storage display section 16. When the number of stored memories in the RAM 811 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 750), the central processing unit 811
With the command from 0, the storage and discharge switching device (storage and discharge switching solenoid) 448 is stopped and the storage gutter 450 is closed, and at the same time, the bulb removal and discharge switching device (bulb removal and discharge switching solenoid) 447 is activated and the discharge & 1451 side is activated. The population is opened and the entrance on the ball extraction gutter 452 side is closed. The prize balls discharged thereafter flow down through the discharge 4ii451 while being counted by the prize ball discharge detector 445, and accumulate in the supply tray 20 via the ball outlet 21.

When the prize balls in the supply +1 [120 are full, they are discharged into the receiving tray 130, and when the receiving tray 30 is full and further accumulated in the discharge gutter 451, it is detected by the overflow detector 456, and the overflow detection A signal is input to central processing unit 800.

Based on the input of the detection signal, the central processing bag v:1800
A prize ball discharge stop signal is issued from , the discharge device 446 is stopped, and prize ball discharge is stopped until the overflow is eliminated.

When it is determined that one ball has moved, the illegality flag is set to ``1'' in routine R408, and then the process proceeds to external terminal output processing.

When the fraud flag is set to "1" in the routine R408, the lamp in the jackpot display section 28b flashes, and the process returns when the fraud is removed.

According to the gaming device 'ri1 according to this embodiment, when the player puts balls into the supply tray 20 and presses the loading button 23, balls are taken in up to a predetermined number (for example, 750 balls). The balls are stored in the ball storage tank 460, and the number of balls stored is stored in the storage number memory of the control device 800 as the number of balls stored.

The stored number is visually displayed on the stored number display section 16.

Since the game can be played continuously as long as there is memory in the stored number memory, the game operations by the player are facilitated.

As the game progresses, prize modes will occur continuously,
If the n-th number exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 750), the number of balls exceeding the predetermined number will be given to the player as real balls, and will always be stored up to the predetermined number. Therefore, the following first-order effect is produced.

That is, in particular, since bet balls are taken from the storage tank on the condition that there is some storage in the storage tank, the time required to complete the retrieval is significantly shortened compared to the conventional system that takes in real balls from the supply tray each time. It is.

The player's troubles before starting the game are significantly reduced.

In addition, as an effect of the intake method with a limited storage number, the It? The real thrill is that when the number of residues exceeds the limit, the actual balls that exceed the limit are paid out to the player as a prize.

According to this embodiment, there are two manual loading methods and an automatic loading method as betting number loading methods.

Here, the manual loading method is a method in which the player sets the number of balls to bet on each game.

This is effective when you want to change the number of bets to a certain amount.

On the other hand, in the automatic loading method, once the number of balls to be bet on a game (setting of betting chains 19a to 19c) is set.

Unless the setting is changed by the player.

Immediately after each game ends, the set number of pitches is automatically taken in, making it possible to play consecutive games with the same number of bets.

Therefore, the player can use either the manual loading method or the automatic loading method as needed. In particular, if you want to play consecutive games with the same number of bets, if you set the automatic loading method, the number of bets will be set automatically, simplifying the operation and increasing the number of games played in a unit of time. Bet on players with! This eliminates the hassle of having to use a push number setting device.

Further, since real balls are stored in the storage tank 460 inside the gaming machine 1, even if a power outage occurs, the stored balls will be reliably returned by pressing the payment button 17 after the power outage ends. Therefore,
There is no need to perform special storage means processing in preparation for the occurrence of a power outage.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, after the combination designation display line is designated according to the number of bets, the variable display section is activated, and the result of the operation is displayed on the combination designation display line. In a gaming machine in which a prize is dispensed when a combination of displays becomes a predetermined display mode, a predetermined number of bets is taken as one unit.

The number of bets is specified in units of 1 unit or ty units,
Since it has 41 parts, a supply tray for supplying balls and a saucer for receiving balls overflowing from the supply tray are installed at the lower front side.
When the predetermined number of bets is set as one unit, the number of bets is specified in one or more units, and as a result, the amount spent on the bet increases and the amount of prize balls also increases.
This makes the gaming device even more enjoyable. Also, when the number of prize balls increases and the balls overflow from the supply tray, the overflowing balls are placed in the tray, increasing the capacity to receive the prize balls and making it easier for the player to take out the prize balls. Reduce your worries.
