11 to 13 show the control procedure by the control section 34 from step 1 (indicated by "ST1" in the figure) to step 48. The operation of the electronic game machine will be described in detail below with reference to the figures. Explained.

First, after each unit of the control unit 34 is initially reset at the beginning of machine operation, in the next Steps 2 and 3, it is determined whether any one of the automatic switch 26, the betting operation switch 28, and the maximum betting operation switch 27 has been pressed. To judge.
If the automatic switch 26 is pressed, the determination in step 2 is "YES", and in step 4, the CPU 35 RAM
The maximum number of medals n (= 3) is set in the area 61 of 36. If the bet operation switch 28 or the maximum bet operation switch 27 is pressed, the determination in step 3 is “YES”, and in step 5, the CPU 35 makes the area 61 of the RAM 36.
The number of medals bet on or the maximum number of medals n is set, and in the next step 6, the pressing operation of the start switch 29 is awaited.

When the start switch 29 is pressed in step 6 or the automatic switch 26 is pressed in step 2, the four reels 1a to 1d are simultaneously started and
The timer of the reel controller 57 starts (steps 7 and 8). When the predetermined time T1 has elapsed after the timer was started, step 9 becomes "YES" and step 1
At 0, the first reel 1a stops. In the next step 11, the CPU 35 detects which symbol of the first reel 1a has stopped on the valid stop line, and the numerical data N1 or the non-numerical data ZR of the first symbol is read as R.
In the area 62 of AM36, the symbol data M1 for the second symbol is stored in the area 65, respectively.

Next, when a predetermined time T2 has elapsed after the timer was started, step 12 becomes "YES", and the second reel 1b is stopped at step 13. Next step 1
At 4, the CPU 35 detects which symbol of the second reel 1b has stopped on the valid stop line, and the numerical data N2 or the non-numerical data ZR for the first symbol is detected.
Is stored in the area 63 of the RAM 36, and the symbol data M2 is stored in the area 66 for the second symbol.

Next, when a predetermined time T3 has elapsed after the timer was started, step 15 becomes "YES", and the third reel 1c is stopped at step 16. In the next step 17, the CPU 35 detects which symbol of the third reel 1c has stopped on the valid stop line, and for the first symbol, the numerical data N3 or the non-numeric data Z
R is stored in the area 64 of the RAM 36, and the symbol data M3 is stored in the area 67 for the second symbol.

At the next step 18, the CPU 35 executes the R
The arrangement of the first symbols arranged on the stop line is checked with reference to the respective areas 62, 63, 64 of AM36, and if three symbols related to the numerical value are arranged, this game is a winning game for the player. And the determination in step 19 is "YES".
Becomes In the next step 20, the CPU 35 adds the three numerical data N1, N2, N3 to the number of medals n
To calculate an intermediate calculation result X, and calculate the calculation result X
Is stored in the area 69 of the RAM 36 (step 2
1).

At the next step 22, the CPU 35 makes the RAM
The arrangement of the second symbols arranged on the stop line is checked by referring to the respective areas 65, 66, 67 of 36, and when three second symbols arranged on the same frame line are arranged, the determination in step 23 is “ YES ", and at the next step 24, the CPU
35 is the first bonus point W corresponding to the arrangement R
It is stored in the area 71 of the AM 36.

If there are three second symbols lined up in different frame lines, the determination in step 23 is "NO", and in step 25 the CPU 35 sets "1" as the first bonus point W to the area 71 of the RAM 36. To memorize.

Next, the CPU 35 reads out the numerical data N1 to N3, the number of medals n, the intermediate calculation result X, and the first bonus point W from the respective areas of the RAM 36 and outputs them to the display drive circuit 44 to display the calculated values. Numerical values corresponding to the respective numerical value display devices 9 to 14 of the device 8 are displayed (step 26).

On the other hand, when three first symbols "-" irrespective of numerical values are lined up on the stop line, the determination at step 19 becomes "NO", the determination at step 27 becomes "YES", and the routine proceeds to step 28. , CPU35 is area 7 of RAM36
Set flag F to 0.

Next, when a predetermined time T4 has elapsed after the timer was started, step 29 becomes "YES" and the process proceeds to step 32, the fourth reel 1d is stopped, and the process proceeds to the third symbol detecting procedure. .

On the other hand, when the first symbol relating to the numerical value and the first symbol "-" not relating to the numerical value are lined up on the stop line in a mixed manner, this game becomes a negative game of the player, and the step 19, 27 are both "NO" and CPU
Reference numeral 35 indicates “0” as the final calculation result P.
4 is displayed and the numerical value display 16 displays the numerical value "0". In this case, step 31 becomes "YES" when the predetermined time T5 shorter than the time T4 has elapsed, and the fourth reel 1d is stopped (step 32).

In the next step 33, it is checked whether the three first symbols related to the numerical values are lined up or the three first symbols "-" irrelevant to the numerical values are lined up, and if the determination is ". If "NO", that is, if the player is playing a negative game, the process proceeds to step 48 and the contents of the work area 60 of the RAM 36 are cleared.

When step 33 is "YES",
The CPU 35 detects which third symbol of the fourth reel 1d has stopped on the valid stop line, and stores the symbol data M4 in the area 68 (step 34).

At the next step 35, the CPU 35 determines whether or not the third symbol stopped on the stop line is "777" or corresponds to the second symbols arranged three on the stop line. , The determination in step 35 is “YE
If "S", a second bonus point Z corresponding to the third symbol is given and stored in the area 72 of the RAM 36 (step 36).

Next, the CPU 35 multiplies the intermediate operation result X by each of the first and second bonus points W and Z to calculate the final operation result P, and the operation result P is stored in the RAM 3
After storing the data in area 73 of RAM 6, each area of RAM 36
The second bonus point Z and the final calculation result P are read out and output to the display drive circuit 44, and the calculated value display 8
Numerical values corresponding to the respective numerical value display devices 15 and 16 are displayed (steps 37 and 38).

On the other hand, if the third symbol stopped on the stop line is not "777" or does not correspond to the second symbols arranged three on the stop line, the determination at step 35 is "NO". , CPU 35 performs the next step 3
At 9, it is determined whether or not the third symbol is “B.BET”. If the determination is "YES", then it is determined in step 40 whether or not the flag F has been set. If the determination is "YES", the game is a draw, and in step 41, the CPU 35 determines The number of medals n is read from the area 61 of the RAM 36 to display the display drive circuit 44.
And outputs the numerical value to the numerical value display 17 of the calculated value display 8 (step 41).

If step 39 or step 4
If the determination of 0 is "NO", the process proceeds to step 42, where the CPU 35 has three first symbols related to the numerical value among the first symbols arranged on the stop line, or the first symbol irrespective of the numerical value. It is determined whether three "-" symbols are lined up. If the determination at step 42 is "YES", "1" is RAM as the second bonus point Z.
It is stored in the area 72 of 36 (step 43).

Next, the CPU 35 multiplies the intermediate operation result X by the first bonus point W to calculate the final operation result P, and the operation result P is the area 73 of the RAM 36.
After storing the data in the RAM 36, a second
The negative point Z and the final calculation result P are read out and output to the display drive circuit 44, and the numerical values corresponding to the numerical value displays 15 and 16 of the calculated value display 8 are displayed (steps 44 and 45).

If the determination in step 42 is "NO", three first symbols "-" which are not related to the numerical value are arranged on the stop line and "B.BE" of the fourth reel 1d.
The third symbol other than "T" is stopped, and in this case, the player's negative game is reached.
Reference numeral 35 indicates “0” as the final calculation result P.
After outputting to 4 and displaying on the numerical display 16, the contents of the work area 60 of the RAM 36 are cleared at step 48.

In step 47, the CPU 35 instructs the hopper drive section 52 to pay out the medals corresponding to the calculation result P when the player wins the game, and pays out the medals corresponding to the number of medals n when the player draws. After issuing the command, in step 48, the contents of the work area 60 of the RAM 36 are cleared.
