The effect control means 320 is provided with an interlocking effect control means 321 as shown in FIG.

(Interlocking production control means 321)
The interlocking effect control means 321 causes the movable accessory 570 and the image display device 84 to operate based on the predetermined lottery probability when the AT transition lottery is won and when the AT transition lottery is not won at the end of CZ described later. Performs a linked production with or without linked production, and a linked production lottery with or without linked production of the movable accessory 570 and the light guide plate 540. When it is determined that the linked effect is performed, the linked effect is performed, and when it is determined that the linked effect is not performed, the linked effect is not performed and another effect is executed.

  Further, the interlocking effect lottery as to whether or not the movable auditors 570 and the light guide plate 540 interlock with each other, and the interlocking effect lottery as to whether the movable auditors 570 and the image display device 84 interlock with each other, Both lottery may be performed, or the interlocking effect lottery determined by the lottery may be performed by performing a lottery as to which interlocking effect lottery is performed, or Only one interlocking production lottery, which is predetermined according to the result of the lottery or the game state, may be performed.

Here, in the case where the AT transition lottery is won, it is set so that it is easier to determine in the lottery that the interlocking effect is performed, as compared with the case where the AT shift lottery is not won.
This suggests that the degree of expectation that the bonus is given to the player is higher when the linked effect is executed than when the linked effect is not executed.

Note that the interlocking effect may be performed when the effect of notifying the player that some kind of privilege is given is not limited to the case of performing the lottery at the end of the CZ.
For example, when a CZ transition lottery or an AT transition lottery described later is won, the interlocking effect may be executed without fail.

(About the combination of symbols)
Next, although not shown, the winning combination drawn by the winning combination drawing unit 210 will be described.
Specifically, as a bonus transfer combination, a combination of symbols such as "BE, BE, W1" in the order of the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66, and the right rotation reel 68 (hereinafter the same), a re-play combination. As a combination of symbols such as "RP, BE, RP", as a CH combination (cherry combination), as a combination of symbols such as "CH, any, any", as a WM combination (watermelon combination), as "W1" , W1, W1 ", etc., a combination of symbols such as" RP, BE, W1 "is provided as a WM combination or a BE combination (bell combination).
Here, the CH combination (cherry combination) and the WM combination (watermelon combination) are set to so-called rare combinations with a low winning probability.
In addition, "any" means that the type of symbol does not matter.

  In addition, as a result of the winning combination lottery, a plurality of winning combinations are set to win at the same time (duplicate winnings), and the pressing combination of the stop switch 50 determines the winning combination among the winning combinations at the same time. Is set.

(Explanation of the game state using FIG. 16)
Next, the "game state" will be described with reference to FIG.
The "gaming state" is managed by the main control means 200 and, as shown in FIG. 16, roughly classified, there are "normal games", "RT games", and "bonus games". “RT” is an abbreviation for so-called “replay time”, and when the process shifts to “RT game”, the lottery probability of winning the re-game combination, that is, the re-play probability increases.

The "normal game" is controlled by the normal game control means 251 and has "RT0" and "RT1".
“RT0” is a gaming state in which the user stays after changing the settings when shipped from the factory.
The transition from "RT0" to "RT1" is made when the AT spilled symbol which is the RT1 transitional symbol, a so-called bell spilled symbol, is stopped and displayed. Here, the "AT role spilling pattern" is not shown, but for example, when the middle first stop wins the correct answer, and the wrong push order (first stop switch 50 left operation or right first operation) It is a symbol that is stopped and displayed. In "RT0", the pushing order is not notified, and the player basically operates the stop switch 50 by the first left stop. In this case, for example, at the time of winning the winning combination in which the first stop is correct, the AT winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process shifts to "RT1".

The "RT game" is controlled by the RT control means 252, and there is "RT2" which has a higher probability of winning the re-game combination than the "normal game".
Here, “normal game” to “RT game”, specifically, “RT1” to “RT2” is shifted when the RT2 transition symbol, so-called promotion replay symbol is stopped and displayed. For example, although not shown, at the time of correct answer of the push order of the push order replay combination, the RT2 transition pattern is shifted and displayed.

  Further, when the RT1 symbol such as the AT spilled symbol or the fall replay symbol is stopped and displayed in "RT2", the process shifts to "RT1". Here, as described above, the "AT role spilling pattern" is, for example, when the first middle stop wins the correct answer and the wrong pressing order (first stop switch 50 or first right operation). It is a symbol that is stopped and displayed. For example, in the "RT2" game state, the push order is notified in the ART game of FIG. 17, but when the AT game ends, the push order is not notified, and the player basically pushes the stop switch 50 to the left first. It is often operated by stopping. In this case, for example, at the time of winning the winning combination in which the first stop is correct, the AT winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process shifts to "RT1".

The "bonus game" is controlled by the bonus game control means 253, and the "bonus symbol" (combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus shift combination) is transferred.
In the present embodiment, the “bonus game” is a challenge bonus (CB), and the “bonus game” is completed by one game, and then the game is transferred to “RT0”.
Note that the "bonus game" is not limited to the challenge bonus (CB), and so-called "BB" may be continuously operated and ended by paying out a predetermined number of medals, for example, more than 280 medals. .

(Explanation of production state using FIG. 17)
As shown in FIG. 17, the effect state includes “general section” and “special section”.
Here, the "normal effect state" is the effect state of the game state of "RT0" and "RT1" (mainly "RT1") in FIG. 16, and the "AT state" is "RT1" and "RT2" (in FIG. 16). Mainly "RT2") is a production state of the game state.
Further, an "ART ready state", which will be described later, of the "AT state" is mainly an effect state of a game state of "RT1", and an "ART state" is an effect state of a game state of "RT2".

(General section)
The “general section” is a section excluding a “special section” described later, and is a section in which notification of the pushing order of the small win accompanied by payout of medals is not allowed.
The "general section" includes a "normal effect state".
The type and number of “general sections” are not limited to those described above.
In addition, the transition conditions for each effect state are not limited to those described below.

(Normal production state)
The “normal effect state” is a state excluding special states such as “CZ (chance zone)” and “AT state” in the “special section” described later.
In the present embodiment, when a predetermined transition opportunity is satisfied in the normal production state, in the present embodiment, when the CZ transition lottery is won based on the winning combination of the role lottery performed by the role lottery means 210, the "CZ of the special section" is selected. State ".

  When shifting from the "general section" to the "special section", first, the "special section" is changed to the "CZ state", but the invention is not limited to this, and the "CZ state" is not passed. Alternatively, the "AT state" may be entered.

Further, the lottery probability of the winning combination of the combination lottery that triggers the CZ transition lottery is set so that there is no difference due to the set value.
That is, whether the setting value is 1 or the setting value 6, the lottery is performed with the same drawing probability.
In addition, the lottery probability of the winning combination of the winning combination lottery that triggers the transition to the “AT state” without passing through the “CZ state” does not differ depending on the set value.

(Special section)
The "special section" is a section that is more advantageous to the player than the "general section", and is a section in which notification of the pushing order of small wins accompanied by payout of medals is allowed.

  In addition, as for the “special section”, when the transition to the “special section” is determined by satisfying the predetermined transition trigger in the “general section” as described above, the role lottery means 210 performs in the present embodiment. It starts from the next game when the CZ transition lottery is won based on the winning combination of the winning combination.

In this “special section”, an instruction regarding a combination of symbols related to winning that will result in the maximum payout number being given at least once.
For example, when the small winning combination relating to the maximum payout number is the “BE winning combination” among the plurality of small winning combinations, the pressing order of the “BE winning combination” is notified at least once during the special section.

(CZ (Chance Zone))
CZ (chance zone) is a state in which there is a high possibility of shifting to the AT state rather than the normal effect state.
Here, “highly likely to be transferred” includes a case where the lottery probability of the AT transition lottery is high, and a case where the lottery probability of the winning combination of the AT transition lottery is high.

In the present embodiment, the CZ is made up of 32 games, and within the 32 games concerned, the transition lottery to the AT state (AT transition lottery) is performed based on the winning combination of the role lottery performed by the role lottery means 210.
Then, when the AT transition lottery is won, the state shifts to the AT state after the CZ 32 games have been exhausted, and when the AT transition lottery has not been won, the state shifts to the CZ normal games after the 32 games have been exhausted.

  In the present embodiment, at the end of CZ, the movable accessory 570 and the light guide plate 540 are interlocked with each other based on a predetermined lottery probability depending on whether the AT transition lottery is won or not. The linked production is performed, and a linked production lottery is performed to determine whether or not the linked production in which the movable accessory 570 and the image display device 84 are linked is performed, and when it is determined in the lottery that the linked production is executed, the linked production is performed. If it is determined that the linked effect is not performed, the linked effect is not performed and another effect is executed.

The case of winning the AT transition lottery is not limited to the case of transitioning to the AT state after 32 games of CZ have been exhausted, and the next game won in the AT transition lottery may transition to the AT state.
Further, the CZ is not limited to the case of being constituted by 32 games, and may be continued until, for example, the small winning combination relating to the maximum payout number described above is won, or until a predetermined falling symbol is won. May be. In this case, the player may be made to recognize as if the player is in the normal effect state by starting the effect in the normal effect state when 32 games are consumed.

(AT state)
The "AT state" is an example of an advantageous game that is more advantageous to the player than the "normal effect state". When the "AT state" is entered, a game (AT) is started in which the pushing order of the winning small winning combination is notified. By operating the stop switch 50 in accordance with the notified push order, it is possible to stop and display the winning combination of the small winning combination and the re-playing combination. Therefore, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small winning combination are paid out.
Then, the "AT state" and the "RT" of the game state of FIG. 16 are combined to become the ART state.

In the present embodiment, the “AT state” is a game whose end condition is to consume 50 games per set. Then, when 50 games have been exhausted, an AT continuous lottery is performed by the AT control means 270, and if the AT continuous lottery is won, the AT state of 50 games per set is continued again, and the AT continuous lottery is not won. In the case, the "AT state" is ended and the "normal effect state" is returned to. When the "AT state" ends, the notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is ended, and accordingly, when the RT0 symbol is displayed, the game state shifts to "RT0" and the "RT" ends. That is, the RT0 symbol is won when the left first stop, the middle first stop is a wrong answer, and the pushing order is "wrong answer" (the stop switch 50 is operated by the left first stop and the middle first stop). It is the symbol 61 which is stopped and displayed. Since the AT has ended, the push order is not notified, and the player operates the stop switch 50 with the left first stop. Therefore, even if the player wins the bell role, the RT0 symbol is stopped and displayed, and the operation shifts to "RT0". To do.
If 1500 games have been exhausted from the start of the "special section" before the number of games in the "AT state" has been exhausted, the "AT state" will end without waiting for the number of games in the "AT state" to be exhausted. Then, the “normal production state” is entered.

(Example of production)
An example of an effect using the light guide plate 540 will be described with reference to FIG.
Specifically, FIG. 18A shows a state in which the first light emitting means 521 does not emit light.
In this state, the characters “ON AIR”, which is the image pattern of the diffusion unit 554 of the first light guide plate 550, are difficult to visually recognize.

Further, FIG. 18B shows a state in which the second light emitting means 522 emits light.
In such a state, the characters "LIVE", which is the image pattern of the diffusion section 561 of the second light guide plate 560, are visible.

Then, in the state where the second light emitting means 522 of FIG. 18B is made to emit light, the light of the second light emitting means 522 is also applied to the edge portion 551 of the first light guide plate 550.
By combining the states of FIGS. 18 (a) and 18 (b), the player can see what is shown in FIG. 18 (c).
That is, the characters "LIVE", which is the image pattern of the diffusion portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560, and the edge portion 551 of the first light guide plate 550 are conspicuous as effects for the player.
Note that in FIG. 18C, the state where the edge portion 551 is irradiated with light is indicated by a thick line.

Next, an example of an effect using the light guide plate 540 will be described with reference to FIG.
Specifically, FIG. 19A shows a state in which the first light emitting means 521 emits light.
In this state, the characters “ON AIR”, which is the image pattern of the diffusion unit 554 of the first light guide plate 550, are visible.
Further, the light that has passed through the inside of the first light guide plate 550 reaches the edge portion 551 and is reflected by the edge portion 551, so that the edge portion 551 also becomes recognizable.

Further, FIG. 19B shows a state in which the second light emitting means 522 does not emit light.
In such a state, it is difficult to visually recognize the character "Live" which is the image pattern of the diffusion portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560.

By combining the states of FIGS. 19 (a) and 19 (b), the player looks as shown in FIG. 19 (c).
That is, the characters "ON AIR", which is the image pattern of the diffusing portion 554 of the first light guide plate 550, and the edge portion 551 of the first light guide plate 550 are conspicuous as effects for the player.

  As described above, the case where only the second light emitting means 522 shown in FIG. 18 emits light and the case where only the first light emitting means 521 shown in FIG. 19 emits light are visible to the player. Although the diffusing parts 554,561 are different, in both cases, the light reaches the edge part 551 so that the edge part is conspicuous. Therefore, it is possible to create an effect as if one light guide plate is performing different effects. It becomes possible to do.

  Note that in this embodiment, the diffusion portion 554 of the first light guide plate 550 and the diffusion portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560 are provided at positions overlapping with each other in the front-rear direction of the game machine; In order to prevent the display from being confused by making the image patterns visible at the same time, both the first light emitting means 521 and the second light emitting means 522 are not turned on at the same time. The present invention is not limited to this, and they may be turned on at the same time. In the case of lighting at the same time, the diffusion portion 554 of the first light guide plate 550 and the diffusion portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560 are provided at positions that do not overlap in the front-rear direction of the gaming machine 10, or When the image pattern of the diffusing portion 554 of the first light guide plate 550 and the image pattern of the diffusing portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560 appear to overlap with each other, they can be recognized as an integrated image and are related to each other. Therefore, it is desirable to prevent the display from being confused even if the display becomes visible at the same time.

Next, an example of interlocking effect in which the movable accessory 570 and the light guide plate 540 are interlocked will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, the interlocking effect control means 321 does not cause the first light emitting means 521 to emit light while the movable accessory 570 is in the standby position, and causes the second light emitting means 522 to emit light. Then, the light of the second light emitting means 522 is diffused by the diffusing portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560 and is applied to the edge portion 551 of the first light guide plate 550, so that the edge portion 551 is conspicuous. Focus on edge 551.

After that, as shown in FIG. 21, the left and right motors 583 are driven to move the movable accessory 570 from the standby position to the advanced position, and the player is informed that the movable accessory 570 moves to the edge portion 551. Produce to be recognized.
Further, in such a state, it looks as if the movable accessory 570 itself is lit.
Such an effect is more effective because the shape of the edge portion 551 and the shape of one end portion of the movable accessory 570 in the advanced position are the same when viewed from the front side of the gaming machine 10.

Then, while the second light emitting means 522 is still emitting light, the left and right motors 583 are driven to move the movable accessory 570 from the advance position to the standby position, thereby confirming that the movable accessory 570 was at the advance position. It is possible to perform an effect for the player to recognize and an effect for the player to recognize as if the movable accessory 570 is still in the advanced position.
Further, in the interlocking effect, the diffusing portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560 and the movable accessory 570 are visible.
Although the movable accessory 570 is moved to the advanced position after the second light emitting means 522 is made to emit light, the second light emitting means 522 is made to emit light after the movable accessory 570 is moved to the advanced position. Is also good.

Although not shown, an example of interlocking effect in which the movable accessory 570 and the light guide plate 540 are interlocked will be described.
With the accessory device 570 in the standby position, the first light emitting means 521 is caused to emit light without causing the second light emitting means 522 to emit light, and the light from the first light emitting means 521 is directly emitted to the first light guide plate 550. The edge portion 551 is illuminated, so that the edge portion 551 is conspicuous and the edge portion 551 is focused.

After that, by driving the left and right motors 583, the movable accessory 570 is moved from the standby position to the advance position, and the player is made aware that the movable accessory 570 moves to the edge portion 551.
Further, in such a state, it looks as if the movable accessory 570 itself is lit.
Such an effect is more effective because the shape of the edge portion 551 and the shape of one end portion of the movable accessory 570 in the advanced position are the same when viewed from the front side of the gaming machine 10.

Then, while the first light emitting means 521 emits light, the left and right motors 583 are driven to move the movable accessory 570 from the advance position to the standby position, thereby confirming that the movable accessory 570 was at the advance position. It is possible to perform an effect for the player to recognize and an effect for the player to recognize as if the movable accessory 570 is still in the advanced position.
In addition, in the interlocking effect, the diffusing portion 554 of the first light guide plate 550 and the movable accessory 570 are visible.
Although the movable accessory 570 is moved to the advanced position after the first light emitting means 521 is made to emit light, the first light emitting means 521 is made to emit light after the movable accessory 570 is moved to the advanced position. Is also good.

  It is suggested that, when such interlocking effect is executed, the degree of expectation that the bonus is given to the player is higher than when the interlocking effect is not executed.

Next, although not shown, an example of a case where the interlocking effect in which the movable accessory 570 and the light guide plate 540 are interlocked is not executed will be described.
When the light emitting means 520 is caused to emit light while the movable accessory 570 is in the standby position, the effect (see FIGS. 18 and 19) of only the light guide plate 540 is executed.
If the light emitting means 520 is not made to emit light in the state where the movable accessory 570 has moved to the advanced position, an effect of moving only the movable accessory 570 is executed.

An example of the interlocking effect in which the movable accessory 570 and the image display device 84 are interlocked with each other will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 to 24.
Specifically, the interlocking effect displays an image interlocked with the movement of the movable accessory 570 from the standby position to the advance position on the image display device 84.
First, as shown in FIG. 22, in a state where the movable accessory 570 is in the standby position, an image G for clarifying the contour of the movable accessory 570, for example, one end of the movable accessory 570, as an image interlocked with the movement. The image G as if the light was emitted from the part is displayed on the image display device 84 to make the movable accessory 570 stand out.

  Then, by driving the left and right motors 583 from the standby position of the movable accessory 570 by the interlocking effect control means 321, the left movable accessory 571 is moved to the right and the right movable accessory 572 is moved to the left, as shown in FIG. Move to the indicated advance position and stop the movement. During such movement, an image G displayed on the image display device 84 as an image interlocked with the movement and for clarifying the outline of the movable accessory 570, for example, light is emitted from one end of the movable accessory 570. An effect is displayed in which the moving image 570 pushes out the image G as shown.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23, an image for clarifying the contour of the movable accessory 570, for example, an image G in which light is emitted from one end of the movable accessory 570 is displayed on the image display device 84 as it is. It continues to make the movable accessory 570 stand out.

  Further, after that, by driving the left and right motors 583, the left movable accessory 571 is moved in the left-right direction, and the right movable accessory 572 is moved in the left-right direction, so that the movable accessory 570 is moved to the advanced position. It is also possible to move back and forth to and from the standby position to perform an operation that makes the player have a sense of expectation.

Then, as shown in FIG. 24, when the left and right motors 583 are driven to move the movable accessory 570 from the advanced position to the standby position, the movable accessory 570 is displayed on the image display device 84 at the same position as the advanced position. By continuing to display the image G that makes the contour of the object clear, the effect as if the movable accessory 570 is still in the advanced position is performed.
It is suggested that, when such interlocking effect is executed, the degree of expectation that the bonus is given to the player is higher than when the interlocking effect is not executed.

Further, in addition to the linked effect in which the movable accessory 570 and the image display device 84 are linked, the linked effect in which the light guide plate 550 is linked may be executed.
That is, by further combining and interlocking the interlocking effects described with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21, when the movable accessory 570 is in the advanced position, the light emitting means 520 emits light to make the edge portion 551 more visible. It is possible to produce an effect that emphasizes that the movable accessory 570 is in the advance position.
Then, when such interlocking effect is executed, it may be suggested that the degree of expectation that the privilege is given to the player is higher than other interlocking effects.

  In addition, the first light emitting means 521 emits light, the second light emitting means 522 emits light, the movable accessory 570 moves, the vertical moving accessory 590 moves, and an image is displayed on the image display device 84. Can be executed independently of each other. The movable role object 570 is moved while the first light emitting means 521 is illuminated, and the movable role is moved while the second light emitting means 522 is illuminated. Effects can be executed in various combinations, such as moving the object 570 and moving the movable accessory 570 while neither the first light emitting means 521 nor the second light emitting means 522 emits light.

(Explanation of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 25)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 25, general game control processing executed by the main control means 200 for each game will be described.

  In step S10, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control means 200 sets a state in which the bet number cannot be set. Then, it progresses to the following step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, the process returns to step S10.

  As a premise of step S10, a bet amount setting process is performed. In this bet number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed bet number is set as the bet number. Specifically, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets for the game has reached the prescribed number of bets (three).

  In step S11, the role lottery means 210 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the winning combination lottery is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub control means 300. When the part lottery process is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S12.

  In step S12, rotation fluctuation processing of the rotary reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. When the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating reel 62 is operated by the main control means 200 after the rotating reels 62 reach a predetermined rotation speed, the reel control means 220 causes each of the rotating reels 62 to rotate. The rotation is stopped. The pushing order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed in the main control means 200, and It is read in the subsequent processing.

Further, after all the stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of the full rotation reel 62 is transmitted from the transmission means 280 of the main control means 200 to the reception means 310 of the sub control means 300. When the rotation fluctuation processing of all the rotating reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S13.
In step S13, the stop symbol determination means 230 performs a determination process such as a winning or the like as to whether or not the combination of the symbols 61 of the predetermined combination is complete with respect to the combination of the symbols 61 on the activated line 86. Here, the data of the determination result of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub control means 300. Then, when the determination process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

  In step S14, the payout control unit 240 performs a payout process or the like corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determination unit 230. In addition, as a result of the determination, when the payout is unnecessary, the payout process is not performed. Then, the process ends.

(Modification)
Further, as shown in FIG. 26, the first light guide plate 550 is not divided into the left light guide plate 552 and the right light guide plate 553, and is formed by one light guide plate to form the groove-shaped edge portion 551. May be.
Note that the edge portion 551 is not limited to the groove shape having the L-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 27, and may be the groove shape having the L-shaped cross section or another shape, or may be penetrated instead of the groove shape. It may have a hole shape. Further, instead of the groove shape, the convex shape protruding from the surface of the light guide plate may be formed.
Further, the cut of the diffusion portion 554 is formed by a groove shallower than the edge portion 551, and is not limited to the V-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 27, and may be a V-shaped cross section or another shape.

  Further, the cut of the diffusion part 554 is preferably formed so that the diffused light is directed to the edge part 551, but is not limited to this, and the light amount is adjusted so that the light reaches the edge part 551. Therefore, it is not always necessary to direct the light directly to the edge portion 551.

As described above, the present embodiment has the following effects.
That is, in the present embodiment, the present invention irradiates the second light guide plate with light to provide an effect, and also provides an effect as if the second light guide plate also has an edge portion. It is possible to provide amusement machines with a lot of interest.
In addition, such an effect can be realized by providing the second light guide plate with the same edge portion as that of the first light guide plate, but it is not necessary to process the edge portion of the second light guide plate. Cost reduction. Further, if the edge portions of the first light guide plate and the second light guide plate are located at the same position, a processing error may occur, and if the processing error is eliminated, there is a problem that productivity is reduced. Although it may occur, it is possible to avoid it by giving such an effect.

  In the present embodiment, the diffusion portion of the second light guide plate, which is visible by the light of the second light emitting means, and the edge portion of the first light guide plate, which is irradiated with the light of the second light emitting means, are interlocked.
