Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention provides a plurality of rotating bodies having a symbol display portion, and a drive stopping means for stopping the driving of the plurality of rotating bodies. Regarding a slot machine.

[Conventional technology]

In this type of slot machine, generally, by operating a start switch, three reels provided with a symbol display portion are driven at the same time, and then three reels provided corresponding to the three reels are stopped. By operating the switches respectively, the driving of the three reels is stopped, and one game is ended.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in order to stop the driving of these reels after driving the three reels, it is necessary to operate all of the three stop switches, so that not only the operability is deteriorated but also the game is stopped. Some players were distracted by the operation of the three stop switches and could not concentrate on the game.

An object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine capable of avoiding a decrease in operability and concentrating on a game.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

A slot machine according to the present invention comprises the drive stopping means,
A drive stop order setting switch for setting the order in which the plurality of rotors are stopped, and for stopping the drive of the plurality of rotors based on the drive stop order selected by the drive stop order setting switch. It is characterized in that it is composed of a single stop switch of, and the action and effect thereof are as follows.

[Action]

Once the order in which the plurality of rotating bodies are stopped is selected by the drive stop order setting switch, if a plurality of rotating bodies that are driven and rotated are stopped by operating the start switch, a single By operating the stop switch,
The plurality of rotating bodies are sequentially driven and stopped based on the driving stop order selected by the driving stop order setting switch.

[Effect of device]

Therefore, once the drive stop order of a plurality of rotors is selected by the drive stop order setting switch, the drive of a plurality of rotors can be stopped from the next time by operating only a single stop switch. Because you can do it,
The operability can be improved compared to the case where a plurality of stop switches provided corresponding to the rotating body are operated, so that the player can concentrate on the game without being distracted by the operation of the stop switches. I was able to do it.

〔Example〕

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a slot machine. This slot machine has a symbol display window (2) for displaying a plurality of types of symbols in three rows and three lines on the upper panel (1), and a winning medal. A win display window (3) that digitally displays the number is formed, and one start switch (5) and one start switch (5) A stop switch (6) and a medal slot (7) are provided, and the lower panel part (4B) connected to the lower part of the central panel part (4A)
Is provided with a display section (11) displaying six kinds of orders in which three reels (8), (9) and (10) described later are stopped, and a lower part of the lower panel section (4B). The medal outlet (12)
And a medal tray (13).

In the inside of the slot machine, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the symbol display portions (8A), (9A), (10A) are provided on the outer periphery to display the symbol through the symbol display window (2). Three reels (8), (9), (10) as a rotating body including the rotating shafts (8B), (1) of the first to third reels (8), (9), (10) 9B), (1
0B) stepping motors (14), (15), (16)
Is provided.

The stepping motors (14), (15) and (16) are configured so that all three of them are simultaneously activated by turning on the start switch (5), and drive stopping means (A).
It is configured such that all of the three are stopped.

The drive stopping means (A) includes the three reels (8), (9),
Based on the six push-operation type drive stop order setting switches (17) for setting the drive stop order of (10) and the drive stop order selected by the drive stop order setting switch (17), It is composed of a single stop switch (6) for stopping the drive of the individual reels (8), (9), (10).

Each of the six drive stop sequence setting switches (17) has the number of the first to third reels (8), (9), (10) and is 6
The switch (17) is arranged at each row end of the display section (11) displaying the order of the types, and by turning on a predetermined switch (17) of these six switches (17),
The driving is stopped in the order of the reel numbers displayed in the row.

Operation information of the start switch (5), stop switch (6)
Operation information, the six drive stop order setting switches (17)
Selection information from the first to third reels (8), (9), (1
(0) Magnetic stop position sensor that detects each stop position
Position information from (19), (20), (21), the medal slot
It is paid out from an inserted medal detection sensor (not shown) that detects the number of medals inserted from (7), and a payout hopper (not shown) that pays out winning medals that communicate with the medal outlet (12). A control device (not shown) that outputs detection information from a payout medal detection sensor (not shown) that detects the number of medals is provided inside the slot machine. explain.

First, when it is determined that a medal has been inserted into the medal insertion slot (7), the start switch (5) can be operated. Therefore, when the start switch (5) is turned on, a drive signal is output to the stepping motors (14), (15), (16), and the three reels (8), (9), (10) Are simultaneously driven and rotated. After that, when the stop switch (6) is turned on, the three reels (8), (9), (10) are turned on based on the drive stop order selected by the drive stop order setting switch (17). The driving is stopped at a predetermined interval. The drive stop order setting switch (17) is configured so that the setting can be changed only from the point where it is determined that a medal has been inserted until the stop switch (6) is turned on. .

When all the reels (8), (9), (10) are stopped, the stop positions of the reels (8), (9), (10) are changed to stop position sensors (19), (20), Judgment based on the detection information of (21), based on this, the symbol arrangement displayed through the symbol display window (2) is arithmetically processed, and the symbol arrangement obtained by this processing and the winning symbol arrangement stored in advance. Are compared, and it is determined whether it is a miss, a normal prize such as fruit, or a continuous bonus prize of a small bonus or a large bonus.

If the determination is off, one game ends and the next game returns to the original state, and if the determination is a normal winning, a predetermined number of coins corresponding to the winning symbol array After the medals have been paid out, one game ends and the next game returns to the original state, and when the determination is continuous winning of prizes, a small bonus game or a large bonus game stored in advance is stored. After shifting to the bonus game and ending these bonus games, the original state is restored.
