Description

The present invention relates to a game machine such as a pachislot machine that uses medals as a game medium and a slot machine (rotary body type game machine) called a pachilot that uses a pachinko ball as a game medium.

Further, the present invention provides control steps or control procedures for realizing the method in a semiconductor memory, LD (laser disc), HD (hard disc), FD (flexible disc), MD (mini disc), CD. It is also related to the program itself (eg, game software) recorded on an information storage medium such as (compact disc), DVD (digital versatile disc or digital video disc) or blue ray disc.

In recent years, games using a spinning-type gaming machine called a pachislot machine have been actively performed in conventional pachinko halls and pachislot-only halls. In addition, there is also a spinning-type gaming machine called a pachinko machine (or parrot) that performs the above-mentioned spinning-type game using a pachinko ball used in a pachinko machine (ball-type gaming machine) as a game medium. In video game machines such as amusement facilities, and in general household PCs and game machines via the Internet, token coins (that is, "game media") are used to perform spinning games. A simulation game that simulates is being played.

For example, in the normal game of the above-mentioned reel type game machine, when the player operates a predetermined number (predetermined amount) of game medals (game medium, credits or tokens) and then operates the start lever, a bonus is provided at that timing. Execute an internal lottery (or also referred to as "internal lottery") for a small role or a replay role (replaying role), and play multiple reels (in most cases, 3 or 4 reel drums) from above. Rotate down to start a variable display game that fluctuates multiple symbols placed on the barrel (usually these multiple symbols are drawn on reel tape and affixed on each drum). At the same time, when the player operates the stop button corresponding to each drum and the symbols such as the bell, watermelon, and cherry of the small winning combination are displayed on the effective line in a predetermined combination, a prize is awarded. While about 15 game medals are paid out, the replay symbol is displayed on the effective line. When the replay (replay) is activated, the game medals are not inserted (or the number of cards inserted in the previous game is inserted as it is). Then, it will be in a re-game state where the next normal game can be performed.

In particular, in the case of a rotating cylinder type game machine called A type, a big bonus (type 1 BB or type 2 BB) is internally won based on the result of the internal lottery of the normal game, and it is specified by the individual stop operation of the reel drum. Big bonus game mode (BB game mode: continuous operation of characters), which is the most advantageous game mode for the player when the symbols (for example, 7 red symbols and 7 blue symbols) are aligned on the effective line and stopped and displayed. You can get a lot of game medals at once by rushing into the operation of the device). In addition, if the regular bonus is won and the bar symbols are aligned on the effective line as specific symbols, the regular bonus game (RB game) is executed, and although it is not as good as the BB game, a corresponding game medal can be obtained. In any case, the establishment of these bonus games is the greatest concern for the player in the rotating game. When the bonus game is won or released as a result of executing the internal lottery, a specific symbol (7 symbols or bar symbol) is stored by setting a bonus flag in a data storage area such as RAM or RWM. The flag will be carried over to the subsequent variable display games until all the flags are collected.

By the way, the conventional rotating body type game machine (Unit 4) has a relatively high gambling trait, and in order to suppress it, the Act on Regulation of Customs Business, etc. and Optimization of Business (Final Amendment: May 2005) The 30th Law No. 55) was enforced and applied to the latest rotating game machine called Unit 5.

For example, in the Unit 5 revolving game machine, the ball output rate (short-term, medium-term, long-term) is very finely defined by the rules, and in the big bonus game (BB game), the number of game medals, etc. obtained is determined. It ends when the number of cards exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 360 or 480), and in the regular bonus game, although it is not as good as the BB game, it ends when about 100 or more tens of cards are obtained. In other words, due to the revision of the rules, the upper limit of the number of payouts and the rate of increase of medals in one bonus game will be limited to a low level.

In addition, as a result of the rule prohibiting the bonus stock function for continuously releasing bonuses (continuous chan), which should be said to be the greatest feature of the conventional spinning type game machine (Unit 4), the conventional slot The ingenuity and features given to the machine itself are lost, and of course the playability and gambling are extremely reduced, and the players (slotters) who were good customers are becoming more and more alienated.

However, even in such a strict regulatory situation, some deregulation has been done, and as a result of new ingenuity, a slot machine equipped with an ART function (assist replay time function) has been developed. .. This ART function is a symbol stop operation procedure (operation order of the stop switch and operation timing to aim at the color of the bonus symbol) for winning a small winning combination internally in a high-probability replay state in which replay is easy to win. ) Is a function that announces with a liquid crystal display or voice and assists (assists), and is currently the mainstream of Unit 5 slot machines.

Further, an AT machine has been developed that maintains the state in which the bonus combination is internally won and increases the winning probability of the re-game during the normal game. The AT machine is equipped with an assist bonus (third bonus) that activates the assist function, and when the AT bonus is won, when the push order small winning combination is internally won, the correct push order is notified. Therefore, the small winning combination with the largest number of payouts is taken among the plurality of small winning roles that are simultaneously elected.

By the way, as an AT original technology (patent No. 4428725) developed by the applicant, a single symbol small role is internally won, and if the operation procedure of the stop button is correct, a predetermined symbol (for example, a bell symbol) is won on a plurality of lines. On the other hand, there is an incorrect answer to stop on a small number of lines. Then, when the AT is won, the player is notified of the correct operation procedure to make a difference in the number of medals won. Furthermore, since a large number of medals can be obtained without reducing the number of medals on hand during RT, it is possible to create a wave of balls and improve the game performance.

In addition, as an applicant's original technology, a bonus with a small number of payouts is frequently won, and by notifying the operation procedure and timing of the stop button during ART, the bonus is released and a large number of medals are won. (Patent No. 4679654, Patent No. 4579249, Patent No. 4600944: Pseudo-probability or neostock).

However, with this pseudo-probability change technology, if the bonus combination is won alone, the bonus symbols will be automatically aligned regardless of the stop operation, so one small role (inhibition small role) is frequently played during normal games. I try not to win the bonus role by letting me win.

Also, even if the bonus role has already been won and the bonus flag is set, if the replay is internally won at the same time by a random number lottery, the replay symbol will be drawn in with priority and the replay will always win, so the bonus role cannot be won. ..

That is, since the area that should be lost is set as the winning area for one small winning combination, the losing area is small, and the RT state, which should be preferable for the player, becomes a non-continuous Chan state in which the bonus combination cannot be released.

In the present invention, first, any of a plurality of types of push order small wins (left push order small win, middle push order small win, and right push order small win) with different winning operation orders is won, aiming at DDT points. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game machine or the like capable of stopping a left-handed cylinder and displaying a symbol in a specific mode even when the player first operates the left stop switch.

The present invention adds a plurality of pseudo-bonuses (assist bonuses) to a rotating game machine equipped with an actual bonus, and also provides a bonus stock function prohibited in the fifth machine and releases a unique stock. The purpose is to provide a game machine or the like that can increase the fun without running out of interest by the method.

In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 has three rotating cylinders in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface, and an internal lottery is performed for each game to win or lose the winning combination. When the internal lottery means for determining the game and the operation of the three stop switches provided corresponding to each of the three rotating cylinders are individually received by rotating the three rotating cylinders for each game, the corresponding rotating cylinders are individually stopped. In order to form a symbol display control means for displaying a symbol on a display window in a manner corresponding to the determined winning combination and a push order small winning combination determined by the internal lottery means, and to win a specific small winning combination with the largest payout. It is provided with a notification means for notifying the winning operation order of the stop switch, and the three rotating cylinders are composed of a left rotating cylinder, a middle rotating cylinder, and a right rotating cylinder, and the left rotating cylinder has a specific pattern. Is arranged, and when the left-handed cylinder is stopped first, there is a method of hitting the left-handed cylinder by operating the left stop switch at a predetermined timing aiming at the specific pattern to stop the left-handed cylinder. The small winning combination includes a left pushing order small winning combination, a middle pushing order small winning combination, and a right pushing order small winning combination. In the winning operation order of the left push order small winning combination, the first operation is the left stop switch, and then the stop switch. If the operation is in the correct answer order, the small winning combination is always won, the maximum number of payouts is given, and in the winning operation order of the middle pressing order small winning combination, the first operation is the middle stop switch, and the subsequent stop switch operation is the correct answer. If it is in order, the small winning combination is always won, the maximum number of payouts is given, and the winning operation order of the right-pressing order small winning combination is that the first operation is the right stop switch and the subsequent stop switch operations are in the correct answer order. If there is, the small winning combination is always won, the maximum number of payouts is given, and the symbol display control means is the case where the left stop switch is first operated at the predetermined timing in the game in which the left pushing order small winning combination is determined. , If it is possible to stop the left-handed cylinder and display the symbol in a specific mode in which the specific symbol is displayed at the lower position of the display window, and the subsequent stop switch operation is in an incorrect order, other The small winning combination of the above may be awarded to give a payout less than the maximum number of coins, and in the symbol display control means, the left stop switch is first operated at a predetermined timing in the game in which the middle pressing order small winning combination is determined. In this case, it is possible to stop the left turn cylinder and display the symbol in the above-mentioned specific mode, and when the stop switch operation is performed twice thereafter, another small winning combination is won and the maximum number is exceeded. A small payout may be given, or a payout may not be given without winning another small winning combination, and the symbol display control means stops left in a game in which a right-pushing order small winning combination is determined. When the switch is first operated at a predetermined timing, it is possible to stop the counterclockwise cylinder and display the symbol in the specific mode, and when the subsequent two stop switch operations are performed, the other In some cases, a small winning combination of 1 is awarded and a payout less than the maximum number is given, or a dividend is not given without winning another small winning combination , and a single symbol small winning combination is determined as the symbol display control means. When the left stop switch is first operated at a predetermined timing in the game, the left rotation body is stopped, the special symbol of the single symbol small role and the specific symbol are displayed on the display window, and the single symbol small A predetermined dividend of the winning combination is given, and the notification means notifies the winning operation order when the notification condition is satisfied in the game in which any of the pushing order small winning combination is determined. And.

In the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 2, N (at least 3 or more) rotating cylinders in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface and an internal lottery are performed for each game to determine the winning or failing of the winning combination. When the internal lottery means to be performed and the operation of the stop switch provided corresponding to each rotating cylinder are individually received by rotating N rotating cylinders for each game, the corresponding rotating cylinders are individually stopped and determined. A winning operation of a stop switch for forming a symbol display control means for displaying a symbol in an manner corresponding to a winning combination and a push order small winning combination determined by the internal lottery means, and winning a specific small winning combination with the largest payout. A notification means for notifying the order is provided, and the push order small winning combination includes a left pushing order small winning combination and another pushing order small winning combination, and the winning operation order of the left pushing order small winning combination is the first operation. Is a left stop switch, and the winning operation order of the other push order small winning combination is that the first operation is other than the left stop switch, and the symbol display control means is left in the game in which the left pushing order small winning combination is determined. When the stop switch is first operated at a predetermined timing, it is possible to stop the counterclockwise cylinder and display a symbol in a specific mode, and the symbol display control means is any of the other push order small combinations. When the left stop switch is first operated at a predetermined timing in the determined game, it is possible to stop the left rotation cylinder and display the symbol in the specific mode, and the notification means is described. In a game in which any of the push order small wins is determined, when the notification condition is satisfied, the winning operation order is notified.

According to the game machine according to the present invention, when the player first operates the left stop switch aiming at the DDT point, the left rotation body is stopped and the symbol is displayed in a specific mode, which makes the player feel uncomfortable. I will not give it. In addition, one small win will be won by missing multiple types of push order small wins, but the winning probability will be higher than before (about 2/9 to about 2/3), so the number of game medals will be reduced. Can be done slowly (that is, the base can be raised and gambling is reduced).

According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, the fifth machine has a bonus stock function, and the pseudo bonus stock stocked during the pseudo-bonus game can be used even if the pseudo-bonus stock is transferred to the normal game. As mentioned above, the fun is not exhausted, and it is possible to increase the fun. In particular, if the actual bonus is won during the pseudo-bonus, the same type of pseudo-bonus is executed again from the beginning after the end of the bonus game, which is advantageous for the player. Further, it is possible to improve the advantage of the pseudo bonus.

Definition:
Replay refers to a combination of patterns that enables the next play to be played without betting on a pachislot machine (rotary-type gaming machine). The name on the pachislot certification rules (rules for certification of gaming machines and certification of types) is replay (saiyuugi). In addition, the "replay combination" used in the claims may be a group replay combination in which a plurality of replay combinations 1 to replay combination n are internally elected at the same time, and any one of the replay combinations has the highest priority (bonus combination). Also preferentially). That is, the "re-game" can be performed without inserting a game medal or the like (including using the game medal for the game by operating a button or other device related to the storage device). Refers to a game.

"Activation" is a wording including a state in which a symbol related to a re-game or a combination of symbols related to a character continuous operation device or the like is displayed on an effective line, and is a word in a small winning combination in which a game medium is paid out. It is synonymous with "winning". Therefore, in this specification, it may be used for convenience as a "winning prize" for a replay game or a "winning prize" for a bonus role.

Basic example:
As an example of the gaming machine and the like according to the present invention, a rotating cylinder type gaming machine using a medal as a game medium will be taken up, and this embodiment will explain in detail the basic configuration and basic operation of the rotating cylinder type gaming machine.

FIG. 1 is a front schematic view of a rotating cylinder type gaming machine ((A) is an overall view, and (B) is a partially enlarged view).

Reference numeral 1 denotes a rotating drum type gaming machine main body generally called a "pachislot machine", which is roughly classified into a housing 1a containing a rotating drum (drum portion 2) and a front door 1b.

The front door 1b is a main part that can be said to be the face of a rotating cylinder type game machine, and by adding various platings to the resin material in order to give a high-class feeling, a gorgeous and profound feeling is given to the appearance. Two upper and lower transparent panels 22 are fitted on 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 a video display device) that performs various effects according to the game situation is fixed with screws. A window portion 3 (design display window) is formed by attaching the design sheet 22c to the lower transparent panel 22b. 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 the broken line portion in FIG. 1A). The display LED block 4 is composed of a display LED group described later.

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

Reference numeral 4b is a medal storage number display LED, which displays the number of credits (stored number) of game medals in the range of, for example, a predetermined maximum number of 50 medals. In addition, a payout effect is displayed when the stored medals are settled.

Reference numeral 4c is a medal payout number display LED, which displays the number of medal payouts at the time of winning. In addition, the step setting value of the ball output rate and the error code during the stoppage or when an error occurs are displayed.

Reference numeral 4d is a medal insertion display LED, which is lit when a game medal can be inserted.

Reference numeral 4e is a replay display LED, which lights up when the replay is activated in the variable display game.

Reference numeral 4f is a stop and error display LED, which is lit at the time of stop and when a serious trouble (for example, a trouble other than opening the door) occurs.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a drum portion (reel drum unit) built in the housing 1a, which is composed of three drums, a left drum 2a, a middle drum 2b, and a right drum 2c, a motor, an electric circuit, and the like. Inside each drum, a rotating body design display LED (not shown) is provided so as to emit light (lights or blinks) or turns off according to various effects. That is, each drum is a symbol sequence that displays a plurality of symbols from top to bottom in a row, and in this case, a variable display game in which three symbol rows (plural rows) are varied is started. It should be noted that even when a symbol is displayed using a liquid crystal display device or the like instead of each drum, it is a variable display game in which a sequence of symbols in which a plurality of symbols are arranged is changed. The design on the reel tape attached to the outer circumference of the drum portion 2 can be visually recognized through the transparent window portion 3.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a medal insertion unit, which is provided with a medal insertion slot for inserting a game medal (a game medium, sometimes referred to as a "coin" or simply a "medal") necessary for starting a variable display game. There is. A left light transmitting portion 5a and a right light transmitting portion 5b are provided on both sides of the medal insertion portion 5, and the medal is generated by light from a plurality of light sources (for example, LEDs) attached to the lower left and right sides. Red (first color) when it cannot be inserted, while blue (second color) when medals can be inserted and displayed for games, and when medals are added and displayed on the medal storage device. Lights in green (third color). However, if the medal cannot be inserted, the light may be turned off.

The medals inserted from the medal insertion slot are counted by a medal sorting device (or also referred to as a "selector", not shown), and the number of normally inserted medals is added to display the number of inserted medals LED4a of the LED block 4. Alternatively, it is displayed on the medal storage number display LED 4b.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a settlement button, which is operated when the medal storage device (not shown) is activated and released, and when the inserted medal and the stored medal (credit) are paid out and settled.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a cross key, which is composed of four switches arranged vertically and horizontally and a decision button in the center. The up and down or left and right switches cannot be pressed at the same time. It is operated when viewing the game history information by up / down / left / right operation or determination operation, or when displaying the combination symbol table or payout table of the winning combination on the display effect device 11. A 1-bet button (not shown) is provided in the vicinity of the cross key 7, and is used when one stored medal of the medal storage device is inserted for playing a game. In some cases, the 1-bet button is not provided.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a max bet button (MAX bet button), which is a maximum specified according to the game state, such as when three medals stored in the medal storage device, which is the maximum number, are inserted for playing a game, or during a bonus game. It is used when inserting the number of sheets (1 to 3). An LED is provided inside the max bet button 8 so that it lights up when the max bet button 8 can be operated.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a start lever (a part of the rotating cylinder rotation starting device), which is used to rotate (start) the drum portions 2 all at once after inserting a predetermined number of game medals necessary for playing a game. A game start display LED is provided around the start lever 9 and lights up when the start operation is possible. Further, when the start lever 9 sets the step of the ball output rate, the start lever 9 is a desired set value selected from the step values 1 to 6 (or a 4-step jump number of 1, 3, 5, 7 or the like). Used to confirm.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a stop button portion (also referred to as a “stop switch” as a synonymous name), which is used to stop the rotating drum portion 2. The stop button portion 10 is composed of three button groups (a four case is rare) of a left stop button 10a, a middle stop button 10b, and a right stop button 10c, and the drum portion 2 stops while rotating. By operating the button unit 10, the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c corresponding to the respective buttons can be stopped. When the rotation of the three drums of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c reaches a predetermined speed (about 80 rotations / minute) and the stop button portion 10 becomes operable, the stop button 10a stops. The LEDs built into the button 10b and the stop button 10c are lit. Further, when the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, and the right stop button 10c are used as the three direction input means, they can correspond to the left direction, the up direction, and the right direction input, respectively.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a display effect device composed of an FPD (flat panel display) such as an LCD (liquid crystal display), a PDP (plasma display panel), or an organic EL (electroluminescence), and various image effects related to the spinning game. And the necessary information can be announced. Regardless of whether or not special eyeglasses are used, display effect devices capable of stereoscopic display have recently been manufactured at low cost, and 7 symbols and the like are produced in the tempai state (reach state) and the jackpot state. Amusement machines that employ a 3D display device that pops out images are becoming mainstream.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a speaker unit, which is composed of four speakers, an upper left speaker 12a, an upper right speaker 12b, a lower left speaker 12c, and a lower right speaker 12d, and is changing sound effects and stage setting values according to various effects, or the front door. A warning sound is generated when 1b is open or when a trouble occurs. When a serious trouble (selector error, hopper error or RAM error, but door open is not included) occurs, the error display LED 4f lights up with a warning sound.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a game state display LED unit, which includes an upper state display LED 13a (also referred to as a top lamp) provided on the upper part of the display effect device 11, an upper left state display LED 13b and an upper right state display LED 13c provided on both side surfaces, and a middle left. It is composed of a state display LED 13d, a right middle state display LED 13e, a lower left state display LED 13f, a lower right state display LED 13g, and a middle lower state display LED 13h, and various light effects can be effectively performed. Further, when the step setting value is being changed, the front door 1b is open, or a trouble occurs, the blinking is repeated as a warning display.

Since the game status display LED units 13 (13a to 13h) are arranged so as to substantially go around the outer circumference of the front door 1b, the colorful light is not interrupted to the player, and the outer peripheral edge portion is swirled around. It is possible to effectively produce a rotating light effect. In particular, the upper state display LED 13a provided at the upper center position of the front door 1b (the upper center position on the front surface of the game machine body) is called a top lamp, and is unique to the rare small winning combination that is internally won or won. It emits light in color and plays a central role in the light production that informs the player of the winning role and so on to arouse a sense of expectation.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a special button, which is information required according to various games displayed on the display effect device 11 and its image effect (for example, increase in power level gauge, display of bonus formation symbol, machine gun operation of fighter aircraft, etc. Input information such as the bomb drop or the movement direction of the characters and the power-up) is input by the player himself / herself once or repeatedly. The information input by the special button 14 is given to the sub-board (sub-block) described later and is used only for various video and sound effects, and therefore does not affect the result of the game. ..

Reference numeral 15 denotes a saucer, and the game medals paid out from the medal payout device 18 (see FIG. 2) are ejected from the medal payout outlet 16, and up to several hundred medals can be received.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a door keyhole, which is used when opening the front door 1b of the rotating drum type game machine main body 1 with the door key, releasing the stopped state (a state in which the operation for the medal type game is disabled), and canceling the game due to an error. Used when canceling.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a return button (formally referred to as a “return button for jamming inserted medals”), in which game medals packed in a game medal selector (not shown) through which the game medals inserted in the medal insertion unit 5 pass are inserted. Used when returning from the medal payment exit 16.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the internal structure of the rotating cylinder type game machine.

A drum portion 2 and a medal payout device 18 (medal hopper 18) are arranged below the drum portion 2 in the central portion of the housing 1a of the rotating drum type game machine main body 1.

A reflector 17 is provided at the upper right portion of the housing 1a, and a photo sensor is provided at a corresponding position of the front door 1b. When the front door 1b is closed, the LED light emitted from the photo sensor is reflected. While it is reflected by the plate 17 and detected by the phototransistor, the reflected light is not detected in the open state, so that the open / closed state of the front door 1b can be detected.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a power supply unit. When the power supply switch 21c is turned on, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after initial check and initial setting, a variable display game can be played.

Reference numeral 21a is a setting key switch (also referred to as a setting change permission switch), which is used when performing a step setting operation of the payout rate and checking the step setting value. By inserting the operation key into the keyhole 21d and rotating it, the state can be changed from OFF to ON or vice versa.

Reference numeral 21b is an error release switch, which is used when setting the stage of the ball output rate or when canceling the cancellation of the game due to an error. The step setting value of the payout rate is displayed by the medal payout number display LED 4c, and the value is incremented by 1 each time the error release switch 21b is pressed, and after the "6" display, it returns to "1" and is displayed around the turn. ..

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the control circuit system of the rotating cylinder type game machine.

The control circuit system is roughly divided into a main block (main board: part not surrounded by a broken line) and a sub block (sub board: part surrounded by a broken line), whereas the main block controls the game result. , The sub-block controls various productions that attract the player's interest and interest, such as the announcement and display of the game progress and the internal lottery result. In addition, when the assist function is activated, the sub-block performs a small winning combination (winning of a small winning combination for the purpose of winning) or a stop operation procedure for avoiding a fall replay (operation order and operation timing of the stop button portion 10). Notice.

Reference numeral 100 denotes a main control unit, which is an integrated one-chip microcomputer (for example, LEM50A-P manufactured by ELTEC) equipped with a microprocessor having a built-in CPU, and controls a predetermined data table area or the entire device. A ROM 101 that stores a control program that describes the above, and a RAM 102 (RWM: also called a rewritable memory) that temporarily stores information necessary for control by forming counters and registers, and includes not only an internal RAM but also an external RAM. .), Various registers, counters, etc. are provided. As will be described later, even if the power switch 28c is turned off or the power cord is unplugged, the RAM 102 retains all the control data to be stored by the RAM backup power supply that is always supplied via the power connector. However, if the power connector itself is unplugged, power will not be supplied, so the control data will be erased (all cleared or reset to 0) or will be meaningless information.

The main control unit 100 has a start SW sensor 110 (start switch sensor 110), three stop button sensors 120, a medal detection sensor 130, and a bet button via an I / 0 port (not shown) or a data bus. The sensor 140 and the stage setting unit 150 are connected, and the main control unit 100 is configured to be able to receive input signals from these.

Further, the drum unit 2, the medal payout device 18, and the display LED block 4 are connected to the main control unit 100 via an I / 0 port (not shown) or a data bus, and the main control unit 100 is turned on. These various devices can be controlled by transmitting and receiving output signals.

The main control unit 100 internally extracts one of the random numbers (values 0 to 65535) continuously generated by the built-in random number generation unit 103 in accordance with the operation of the start lever 9 of the player. A lottery is executed, and the drum portion 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c), which is a three-row (plurality of rows) of symbols on which a plurality of (usually 20 or 21) symbols are drawn. The symbol variation display game is started by rotating. For example, in this random number lottery, any of the small winning combination with a payout such as bell, cherry, watermelon, or plum is internally won (or a plurality of small winning combination is internally won at the same time), and the player stops the stop button unit 10. Then, the main control unit 100 individually stops the drum unit 2 at a predetermined position based on the lottery result according to the operation order. As a result, if the predetermined symbols are displayed side by side on any of the effective lines set in the window portion 3, the prize is won. However, the number of effective lines is not limited to five, and may change depending on the number of medals inserted, or may be increased or decreased to one or more as appropriate according to the design specifications and the gaming state.

The sub control unit 160 is connected to the main control unit 100 via an I / 0 port (not shown) or a data bus, and control data (for example, coin insertion data, etc.) necessary for various control of subblocks is connected. The lottery result, winning status data, stage setting value data, data indicating the switch operation state of the stage setting unit 150, etc.) are output 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 having a built-in CPU, and includes a ROM 161 that stores a control program that describes a control procedure for the entire subblock. A RAM 162 or the like in which a counter, a timer, a register, or the like is formed and information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100 is temporarily stored is provided. A plurality of BGM (background music) data are stored in this ROM 161. Especially during a bonus game, a specially arranged BGM is arranged according to the production scene in order to raise the feelings of the player. Selected and played as appropriate. It is not necessary to provide the main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 separately, and it is possible to use one control unit.

The sub control unit 160 has a liquid crystal control unit 163, a speaker unit 12, a game status display LED unit 13, a cross key sensor 111, a special button sensor 112, and a door abnormality via an I / 0 port (not shown) or a data bus. A signal output device 113 is connected, and the sub-control unit 160 can receive input signals from each of these devices, output necessary data and signals, and perform various controls.

When the sub control unit 160 executes an internal lottery using the random numbers extracted by the main control unit 100 in accordance with the start operation of the start lever 9, and receives a notification of the result of a big hit, a replay, various small wins, or a loss, Before notifying the player of the lottery result, a production lottery is performed to determine whether or not to perform the production on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game status display LED unit 13. When the sub-control unit 160 wins the effect lottery, the sub-control unit 160 selects an effect image to be displayed from a plurality of effect images stored in the ROM 11c (see FIG. 13) described later and outputs the effect image to the display panel 11e.

In particular, as will be described later, when the sub-control unit 160 internally wins a push order small combination (a first small combination and a plurality of parts of the plurality of push order regulation small combinations) during the AT bonus game. Assist information (auxiliary information) for aligning the winning first small winning combination symbol (for example, bell symbol) on the effective line is displayed on the display effect device 11. This allows the player to easily win the first small role.

When the cross key is operated, the cross key sensor 111 outputs a direction signal corresponding to four directions of up, down, left, and right and a decision button operation signal in the central portion, and the sub-control unit 160 receives this direction signal and directs the direction. Various video effects and winning notifications according to the signals are displayed on the display effect device 11, and a sound effect is further generated from the speaker unit 12. Further, the sub-control unit 160 displays the combination symbol of the combination, the small combination table, and the payout table on the display effect device 11 based on the signal from the cross key sensor 111.

The special button sensor 112 outputs an ON signal (for example, HIGH signal) when the special button 14 is operated, and outputs an OFF signal (for example, LOW signal) when the special button 14 is released, and the sub-control unit 160 receives this ON signal. Various games, video effects thereof, winning notifications, and the like are displayed on the display effect device 11 according to the timing 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-control unit 160. When the main power is ON, an ON / OFF signal is generated according to the opening / closing of the front door 1b. Is output, while 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 turned off, and then the main power is turned on. Even when it is turned on, the sub-control unit 160 is notified of abnormal opening / closing when the main power is turned off. As a result, the sub-control unit 160 generates a warning sound when the main power is turned on even if the front door 1b is closed and it seems that there is no abnormality at all, so that the manager of the game hall recognizes the abnormal situation. , Appropriate measures such as checking and inspection of game machines 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 insertion slot 5. The main control unit 100 receives this pulse signal and executes counter logic processing at the rising and falling edges of the pulse signal, according to the number of pulses in the input number LED 4a or the medal storage number display LED 4b in the display LED block 4. It is controlled to display the number of inserted sheets or the number of credits increased by the number of credits.

The bet button detection sensor 140 is a 1-bet button detection sensor 140a that outputs a pulse signal in response to an operation of the 1-bet button, and a max bet button detection sensor 140b that outputs a pulse signal in response to an operation of the max bet button 8. It is composed of two and is separately connected to two ports of the main control unit 100 (not shown in detail). The main control unit 100 controls the number display of the input number LED 4a so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signal.

Further, when the player operates the start lever 9 after inserting a predetermined number of medals, the start S
The W sensor 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 100 receives the start signal to perform a random number lottery or the like to start a variable display game, and also outputs a drive pulse signal to the drum unit 2. ing. In addition, the game performed by operating the start lever 9 once is a variable display game of one game, and the player aims to acquire a bonus game (big bonus or regular bonus) and increase medals. Repeat the game. The bonus game means, for example, a first-class special bonus (RB), a first-class special bonus continuous operation (RBB), or a second-class special bonus continuous operation (CBB).

Then, 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 symbol of each rotating drum). Is displayed in a predetermined combination to win a prize.) When paying out medals, the number of medals to be paid out is displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and this is the number of credits. In addition to this, the medal storage number display LED 4b is displayed. When the payout operation is performed by the settlement 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, and medals the required number of medals. It is discharged from the payout port 16 and accumulated in the saucer 15.

Further, the main control unit 100 outputs control data (event data) related to the internal winning or the like to the sub control unit 160 when a replay or a small winning combination, particularly a bonus, is internally won. Then, when the sub control unit 160 receives the control data from the main control unit 100, the sub control unit 160 controls the lighting of the game status display LED unit 13 and controls the voice synthesis LSI (not shown) for generating the sound effect from the speaker unit 12. , And various effect operations such as display control of characters and background images in the display screen of the display effect device 11.

Reference numeral 150 denotes a stage setting unit, and by performing the stage setting operation of the payout rate, which will be described later, the hall side can release a large amount of medals at an event or a newly refurbished open, and the stage value according to the collection status for improving profits. A desired set value can be selected from 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"), the input number LED4a and the medal storage number display LED4b are displayed after the bonus game is completed. The total number of medals displayed is forcibly paid out, the operation for playing the variable display game is disabled (stopped state), and a warning sound is generated from the speaker unit 12. Recently, there are many slot machines that do not have this stop setting unit.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a control circuit system that controls the drum unit.

The drum unit 2 includes step motors 30a, 30b and 30c for controlling the rotation of the three drums of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c, and responds to the drive pulse signal from the main control unit 100. When the step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c are driven and the drive pulse signals are continuously supplied to the three phases at the same time, an attractive force is generated and the motors suddenly stop.

The step motors 30a, 30b and 30c are in a 4-phase 1-2 excitation system and have 252 steps / rotation (1.43 degrees / step), and when the main control unit 100 inputs 504 drive pulse signals, it is just Make one rotation. The main control unit 100 returns one pulse of each index signal (reference signal or reference position signal) from the rotating cylinder sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c, which are composed of one photointerruptor provided for each drum, and therefore each drum. The position of the can be accurately grasped. That is, the resolution of one input pulse is 0.714 (degrees / pulse). When further increasing the resolution, the rotation position can be grasped in detail by managing the time and rotation speed from one input pulse to the next input pulse.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a drum portion.

The central portions of the left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c, which are thick disk-shaped rotating bodies, are connected to the rotation axes of the step motors 30a (not shown), 30b (not shown), and 30c, respectively. And rotate in the direction of the illustrated arrow (ie, from top to bottom). Further, a left-handed trunk band 32a, a middle-turned trunk band 32b, and a right-handed trunk band 32c in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged are attached to the outer peripheral portion of each drum, and the same symbol (determined in advance) in the variable display game. If the predetermined symbols) are lined up on the effective line and displayed on the window portion 3, the winning combination is established (winning or operation). In addition, the star mark, + mark, plum mark (black circle mark) and triangle mark in the same figure are shown for convenience and are different from the actual ones. 7 symbols, bar symbol, bell symbol, watermelon symbol and cherry Designs and the like are generally used. In addition, the bobbin belt is generally called a reel tape.

Rotating cylinder sensors 31a, 31b and 31c (not shown) are provided for each of the step motors 30a, 30b and 30c, and one pulse of an index signal is returned from each rotating cylinder sensor for each rotation of the step motor. It is coming. The main control unit 100 always grasps the symbol number and the rotation angle (24 divisions / symbol) at the reference position (for example, the lowest position of the window portion 3) based on the index signal and the number of output drive pulse signals. ing.

FIG. 6 is a pattern arrangement table of the drum.

On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a rotating drum band (not shown) on which the left drum symbol, the middle drum symbol, and the right drum symbol are drawn goes around the outer periphery of each drum. It is stuck on.

As shown in the example, 21 differently arranged symbols are drawn on each sash, and the big bonus symbols "Red 7" and "Blue 7" that activate the bonus, and the cherries of various small winning symbols , Watermelon, bell, and replays that activate replays are included. It should be noted that the discarded symbol does not play any role even if it stops on the effective line, and "N" is printed in a circle in a light gray color so as not to be noticeable to the player.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a drum portion, and FIGS. 7 (A) and 7 (B) show a state in which the right drum 2c is retract-controlled in chronological order.

The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the lottery result is won and the winning combination is internally won, the main control unit 100 performs pull-in control for drawing the symbol of the winning combination on the effective line as much as possible. Do.

For example, this is effective in the so-called reach state (or tempai state) in which the big bonus role is internally won and the symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the effective line diagonally below the right of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b that have stopped. When the symbol "7" is located within 4 frames above the line (that is, when it is located within 5 frames including the symbol on the effective line), when the right stop button 10c is stopped (FIG. 7 (A). ), The main control unit 100 forcibly pulls the symbol "7" onto the effective line and performs pull-in control so as to form a 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 effective line. For example, the big bonus game (BB game) does not operate unless it is displayed as shown in FIG. 7 (B). It should be noted that this pull-in control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on any of the symbols on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. The main control unit 100 sequentially calculates the number of slip frames with respect to the virtual stop operation symbol frame position in advance with reference to the stop table that determines the stop position of each drum according to the random number lottery result (internal winning or loss). Then, the sliding frame number table for the first stop operation is completed. Then, when the stop button unit is actually stopped, the main control unit 100 moves the corresponding reel drum by the number of sliding frames corresponding to the symbol number at the reference position, and then stops so as to stop. Take control. That is, the first stop operation position has a total of 63 frame positions (21 frames x 3 reels), and the number of sliding frames for all the frame positions is created in advance as a sliding frame number table.

In the example of FIG. 7, in the tempai state, the symbol “7” of the right drum 2c is exactly four frames above, and is subject to 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 the design specifications or laws and regulations. In addition, when the random number lottery result is won in the general game, the sub-control unit 160 provides auxiliary information (operation order and operation order) for stopping the rotation of the rotating drum so that the symbols are displayed in a predetermined combination by the pull-in control. 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 a drum portion, and FIGS. 8A and 8B show a state in which the right drum 2c is evaded (or kicked) in chronological order.

The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the lottery result is lost and the winning combination is not established (when all the winning combinations are not internally won), the main control unit 100 wins or operates on the valid line. Evasion control is performed to prevent the symbols of the roles (bonus, small role, replay) from being aligned.

For example, in a reach state (tempai state) in which the big bonus role is not internally won and the symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the effective line diagonally below the right of the stopped left drum 2a and middle drum 2b. When the stop button 10c is operated by a person by "pressing the eyes" while the symbol "7" is located within one frame from this effective line (for example, it is called "pressing the drum"). (See A)), the main control unit 100 performs avoidance control by moving the symbol "7" to at least one destination so that "7, 7, 7" are not aligned on the effective line and forcibly losing the symbol "7". (See FIG. 8 (B)). This avoidance control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on any of the symbols on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. In addition, avoidance control is performed so that the unsuccessful small winning combination symbol does not win a prize. These pull-in control and avoidance control (kicking control) are stop control based on the number of slip frames table created in advance by the main control unit 100 with reference to the stop table according to the internal winning situation, and if necessary. It is controlled by a program.

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

FIG. 9A shows the index signals output from the cylinder sensors 31a, 31b and 31c, and is mainly controlled so that T1 becomes constant at 0.751 seconds (that is, 79.9 rotations / minute). It is controlled by unit 100.

FIG. 9B shows the symbol position data of the rotating drum, and FIG. 9C shows the drive pulse signal.

The symbol position data is generated by dividing the drive pulse signal, and the drive pulse signal is 2.
Data is subtracted by 1 every 4 pulses. That is, based on the index signal, the symbol position data is "21" in the range of 1 pulse to 24 pulses for the drive pulse signal, and "20" is the symbol position data in the range of 25 pulses to 48 pulses for the drive pulse signal. The symbol position data is "19" when the drive pulse signal is in the range of 49 to 72 pulses, ..., The symbol position data is "1" when the drive pulse signal is in the range of 481 to 504 pulses, and the symbol position data is 21 to 1. Turn around. That is, the symbol position data returns to "21" after "1".

The drive pulse signal is a drive pulse of a specified pattern input to the motor coil in order to rotate the rotating drum in a certain direction, and as can be seen from the figure, there are eight pattern numbers 0 to 7. When pattern numbers 0 to 7 are repeatedly added to the motor coils 1 to 4 phases as this drive pulse signal three times (that is, when 24 pulses are input), the rotating drum rotates from top to bottom by one symbol (1 frame). To do.

In particular, the input pulse phase data of the drive pulse input to the step motor is 5-bit data of 0 to 23 for driving one frame of the rotating drum, and the pattern numbers 0 to 7 are the phase data of the lower 3 bits thereof. Then, the drive pulse corresponding to the pattern number is actually applied to the 1st to 4th phases of the motor coil. Therefore, even when 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. 9D shows a stop button sensor signal output when each stop button is operated. In the case of this figure, the main control unit 100 recognizes the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data “10” (or the pattern number “2”) at the time when the stop button sensor signal rises.

FIG. 10 is a schematic view of the left drum 2a included in the drum portion.

As shown in FIG. 10 (A), the left drum 2a rotates in the direction of the arrow (from top to bottom), and a cherry pattern is placed in any of the upper, middle, or lower stages of the three window portions 3 shown by solid lines. When is stopped, a prize is won and a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. Note that FIG. 10A shows a state in which the cherry symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the window portion 3.

When the player performs the start operation of the variable display game, the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery, and as a result, when the upper cherry (cherry 1) is won, the position (timing) at which the stop button is operated. ) Performs pull-in control (see FIG. 9) or avoidance control (see FIG. 10) of the cherry symbol.

FIG. 10B shows a range in which pull-in control is possible, and the main control unit 100 has a window unit when the stop button 10a is operated at a position four frames above the cherry symbol from the position just above the upper stage. Stop the cherry symbol in the upper row of 3 (assuming that the bita symbol is in the upper row). Actually, it takes about 36 ms to stop, so it is located above that amount, but for convenience of explanation, it is described as follows. In addition, since it is stipulated that the vehicle stops within 190 ms from the stop operation, it may not slide four frames. Data 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 10A and 0 data overlapping 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 slip frame number table is created so that the stop control can be performed immediately regardless of when and when the player operates the stop button unit 10.

On the other hand, FIGS. 10 (C) and 10 (D) show the range in which avoidance control and the like are performed, and in the main control unit 100, even when the upper cherry is won, the cherry symbol is 4 from the upper position. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position above the frame (that is, a position above 4 in FIG. 10A) or a position slightly past the upper position, the position is one above or below the upper position. Stop the cherry pattern one step down and make it a loss. That is, since the middle cherry (cherry 2) or the lower cherry (cherry 3) has not been won, the cherry symbol must be forcibly stopped outside the window portion 3.

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

As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the cherry symbols on the left drum 2a are the frame number 8 and the frame number 19 (see FIG. 8). Therefore, when the upper cherry is internally won, the window. When the lowest position of the unit 3 is used as a measurement reference, the main control unit 100 has the symbol position data "14" and the input pulse phase data "0" to the symbol position data "11" and the input pulse phase data "23", or the symbol. When the stop button 10a is operated in the range of position data "4" and input pulse phase data "0" to symbol position data "1" and input pulse phase data "23", the cherry symbol is stopped in the upper row to win a prize. .. In other words, even if the stop button 10a is operated appropriately, not only will the prize be won with a probability of 10/21, but if the winning notification is given, an expert can make a push and win a prize with a probability close to 100%. ..

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

When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 determines a combination display of symbols related to winning and operation on an effective line according to the number of inserted game medals. For example, if three game medals are inserted and a cherry pattern for paying out two medals on the left drum 2a is displayed on the window 3, four medals (2 x 2 lines: 2nd line and 2nd line) are displayed in the upper row. 4 lines), 2 cards (2 cards x 1 line: 1st line) in the middle row, and 4 cards (2 cards x 2 lines: 3rd line and 5th line) in the lower row. However, this effective line is a general one that has been adopted conventionally, and as will be described later, there are many lines with only one line or irregular lines these days.

In addition, when the bell symbols for paying out 8 medals are displayed aligned on the effective line of the window portion 3, if only the middle row is used, 8 medals (8 medals x 1 line: 1st line) and the upper row and diagonally lower right. If 15 medals (8 x 2 lines, but MAX 15: 2nd and 4th lines) are paid out. That is, a game medium having a number of payouts specified according to the type of winning is paid out in total for the winning amount, but the maximum number of payouts at one time is 15.

FIG. 13 is a block diagram of the display effect device.

The display effect device 11 includes a transmission / reception unit 11a for receiving an effect command from the sub-control unit 160 and transmitting necessary information, a display effect control unit 11b (including ROM 11c and RAM 11d), an LCD, an organic EL, an LED, and the like. The display panel 11e of the above is provided. In the case of this figure, the display effect control unit 11b is separately provided with the ROM 11c, but there is no problem even if all the video data is stored in the ROM 161. Therefore, the ROM 11c can be considered as a part of the ROM 161.

FIG. 14 is an effect pattern table, and associates the relationship between the effect command and the effect pattern data stored in the ROM.

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

When the sub-control unit 160 receives control data required for various controls from the main control unit 100 (particularly, various data indicating a large hit, a small hit, a replay, or a loss of the random number lottery result is included), the sub-control unit 160 receives a random number. Before notifying the result of the lottery, an appropriate effect command corresponding to the control data is transmitted to the display effect device 11, and the command receiving unit 11a receives this effect command and transmits it to the display effect control unit 11b.

When the display effect control unit 11b receives the effect command, the display effect control unit 11b reads the effect pattern data corresponding to the effect command from the ROM 11c, develops the data in the RAM 11d, and transmits the effect image to the display panel 11e to display the effect image corresponding to the effect command. It is configured to be displayed on the screen.

15 to 17 are schematic views of an effect screen 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 mainly indicates a state in which there is no stock of pseudo-bonus or a state in which it is difficult to win the pseudo-bonus. The 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 indicates a state in which there is a stock of pseudo-bonus or a high-probability state in which the pseudo-bonus is likely to be won. "Night effect pattern 0" is displayed (see FIG. 15B). Therefore, the player expects or longs for a "night production stage" that mainly suggests a high probability state during the game. However, even if there is no stock of pseudo-bonus or in a non-high probability state, the "night production stage" is displayed, and vice versa. It may 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 "Dracula Castle", which is an image corresponding to "castle effect pattern 0", on the background screen of the blue sky. It is designed to be displayed (see Fig. 15 (A)) or superimposed on the background screen of the moonlit night (see Fig. 17 (B)), after which yellow, red, or blue bats pop out from Dracula Castle. It comes and displays the notification image corresponding to the established combination (small combination or replay) (see FIG. 15C).

When the production of FIG. 15B develops in multiple stages, it becomes a state in which there is a stock of pseudo bonuses and the release probability is high, or the expectation of pseudo bonus release is high or a fixed precursor production. For example, FIG. 16A shows a state in which the outer gate of "Dracula Castle" is enlarged and the iron gate is about to open. Then, it invades Dracula Castle and the door expands (see Fig. 16 (B)), the door gradually opens (see Fig. 16 (C)), and the inside of the gorgeous "Dracula Castle" is displayed (Fig. 16). (D)). After that, it develops into a battle between the hero and the vampire Count Dracula, and if the hero wins, there is a stock of pseudo bonuses and the release of the pseudo bonus is confirmed, and the inside of the actual bonus is being elected and the actual bonus release is confirmed.

From the state where the normal screen at night in FIG. 17 (A) (same as in FIG. 15 (B)) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, the graveyard is enlarged, and the character's butler shouts "Orya". Along with the sound effect "Tirorororone", the main character appears from the graveyard in the center of the screen (see Fig. 17 (B)), and the characters "BONUS" meaning "big hit" are displayed (see Fig. 17 (B)). By making it (see FIG. 17C), it may be a premier production. All of these display effects are also executed by receiving control commands and event data from the main control unit 100 and outputting the effect commands according to the program by the sub control unit 160.

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 the winning combination and the number used for the random number lottery.

In the case of the rotating drum type gaming machine of the present invention, the main control unit 100 generates a random number value. As for this random value, all the values from 0 to 65535 (m7) are periodically generated at random only once in one cycle (about 6.5 ms). FIG. 18A is a lottery table used in a normal state (non-RT state) having a high probability of loss, and is disturbed when the main control unit 100 draws an internal lottery at the timing when the start lever 9 is operated. If the value is in the range of 0 to m1, the big bonus (BB) will be won. That is, this internal lottery is to pick up (extract) only one random number value at the time of the start operation and compare it with the lottery table to determine the winning combination.

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

Normally, these values of m1 to m7 are appropriately set in consideration of legal regulations (Fueiho) and game characteristics, but the BB winning probability is about "1/400" and the RB winning probability is "1/300". , The winning probability of cherry and watermelon is about "1/50", the winning probability of bell is about "1/6", and the winning probability of replay is 1 / 7.3. In addition, although BB and RB are elected independently, they may be elected at the same time as the rare role.

On the other hand, FIG. 18B is a lottery table used in the high-probability replay state (RT state), and the winning range of the replay is widened by α in the replay time, while the range of loss is narrowed by α. As a result, the winning probability of the replay is set to about "1/2". As a result, the probability of winning a replay equivalent to a three-card payout is greatly increased, while the probability of losing is reduced. As a result, the expected value of payout of game medals is greatly improved or increased in 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 this α value.

Although the detailed drawing of the lottery table is omitted, there are six lottery tables 1, lottery table 2 ... lottery table 6 corresponding to the step setting values 1 to 6 of the payout rate and the number of inserted medals (specified number), and the main control unit. Selects a lottery table according to the stage setting value set by the stage setting unit 150 and the number of inserted medals, and executes a bonus game or an internal lottery of a plurality of small wins in the variable display game. Since the expected value for winning the bonus game in the internal lottery is generally lottery table 1 <lottery table 2 <... <lottery table 6, the player pursues a high setting table. However, if it is a three-card dedicated machine, 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 medals won.

BB (Big Bonus) is the name of the role when the BB symbols of "Red 7" are aligned on the effective line. If you win internally, you will set a flag 1 in the corresponding flag area, and if these symbols are aligned, you will get the number of medals. Is 0, it enters the big bonus game (BB game: operation of the character continuous operation device) and ends with a payout of more than 360 cards.

RB (Regular Bonus) is the name of the role when the RB symbols of "Blue 7" are aligned on the effective line. If you win internally, flag 1 will be set in the corresponding flag area, and if these symbols are aligned, the number of medals won will be set. Is 0, it enters the regular bonus game (RB game: operation of the character continuous operation device), and ends with a payout of more than 120 medals. It should be noted that these accessory continuous actuating devices may be either a first-class special accessory or a second-class special accessory, and are appropriately selected according to the design specifications.

If the cherry symbol stops on the effective line of the left drum, one medal will be won for each effective line. For example, if the effective line is the display determination diagram of FIG. 14, if the left drum is stopped at the middle stage, the number of effective lines is one, but if the effective line is the upper stage or the lower stage, the number of effective lines is two, and the total payout is two. If the watermelon symbols are aligned on the effective line, 5 medals will be won. If the bell symbols are aligned on the effective line, eight medals will be won.

When the replay combination is internally elected, flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and one of the replay operation symbols is always aligned on the effective line (also called replay combination winning). When the replay operation symbol is displayed, the replay without medals is activated, and the replay is performed by the operation of the start lever 9 of the player to lower the flag (that is, set to 0). In other words, the next game can be played without inserting medals. The timing of lowering the flag is arbitrary.

Next, the basic operation of the rotating cylinder type gaming machine configured as described above will be described with reference to a flowchart or the like.

First, in the state where the rotating cylinder type game machine is shipped from the factory, by default, the warning mode when the step setting operation of the ball ejection rate is performed is "on state", and the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) is ". It is assumed that it is "off" and the step setting value is set to the lowest "1".

On the game hall side, when the front door of the rotating cylinder type game machine main body 1 is opened and the power switch 28c is turned on before letting the player play, power is supplied to each circuit block, and the main control unit 100 will be described later. In step S100, the initial check (hardware abnormality check, etc.) and initial setting (for example, the stop setting flag "1", the stage setting value "1" stored in the ROM 101, and the initial value of the control data are written to the RAM 102) are executed. Then, the sub-control unit 160 sets the warning mode to the "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 trying to change the setting of the ball output rate for a grand opening, a new store opening, or an event in this setting state.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a main operation processing procedure of the rotating cylinder type gaming machine.

Employees of the game hall open the front door of the rotating game machine main body 1 to temporarily turn off the power switch 28c, insert the setting change key into the setting key switch 28a, and turn it to the right to turn it on (FIG. 2). When the power switch 28c is turned on again (see the enlarged view of the key switch for setting), power is supplied to each circuit block, and after the initial check and initial setting are executed in step S100, the main control unit 100 steps. In 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, while if it is in the ON state, the main control unit 100 calls the setting change subroutine in step S120 (shifts to the setting change mode).

In the setting change mode of step S120, the game hall side inputs the step setting value "6" having the highest payout rate before letting the player play, and hits the start lever 9 once to confirm the setting value, and the setting key switch. When 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 initial hardware check and initial setting again.

Further, 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 displays ($ Y0 $ 01) as an effect command, for example. It is transmitted to the effect device 11. As a result, the display panel 11e displays a "night effect pattern 1" composed of a full moon, a Dracula castle, and a graveyard screen in the night sky as a start screen (not shown).

When the main control unit 100 shifts to step S130 after changing the stage setting value, it checks for the occurrence of an abnormality such as a door open, a hopper error, or a 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 indicates that, as an abnormality check, the stage setting value data stored in the work RAM area corresponds to 0 to 5 (the stage setting values displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c correspond to 1 to 6, respectively. ) Is within the range, and if the stage setting value is not within the predetermined range, the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game status display LED unit 13 warn (display characters of "EE" error). , Light emission and warning sound) to perform error processing (abnormal processing in step S140).

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

When the main control unit 100 shifts to step S160, the player operates the start lever to check whether or not the variable display game has been started, and if it has started, the main control unit 100 shifts to step S170 while starting the variable display game. If not, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping each step until there is a start operation.

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

The main control unit 100 transmits a lottery result command and a game start signal to the sub control unit 160, rotates the drum units 2 all at once, and displays a plurality of drums 2a, middle drums 2b, and right drums 2c. Start a variable display game in which the symbol of is changed at a predetermined speed.

In the main control unit 100, as described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the player operates the left stop button 10a, the middle stop button 10b, or the right stop button 10c of the stop button unit 10 to operate each symbol sequence (rotary band). When is stopped, pull-in control is performed to align the symbols according to the internal winning combination on the effective line, and conversely, avoidance control is performed to align the symbols. When the sub-control unit 160 receives the lottery result command and the game start signal from the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 draws an effect to determine whether or not to display the effect on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game status display LED unit 13. Is performed, and the result of the lottery of the big hit (bonus winning), the small role, the replay or the loss is notified to the player according to the operation of the stop button unit 10. The main control unit 100 executes stop control with reference to the sliding frame number table.

The main control unit 100 determines that a winning combination is established if predetermined symbols are displayed side by side on the effective line of the window unit 3 in each variation display game of the general game, and the payout table stored in the ROM 161 (see FIG. 19). ), The game medal is paid out from the medal payout device 18 and is discharged from the medal payout outlet 16 for the payout that is added as a credit or exceeds the storage upper limit value.

In the big bonus game (BB game) in which three red 7s are arranged, the BB game mode is terminated when the continuous operation device for the accessory is activated and the number of acquired cards exceeds 360. In addition, in the regular bonus game (RB game) in which three blue 7 symbols are arranged, the RB game mode is terminated when the continuous character operating device is activated and the number of acquired cards exceeds 120. ..

Then, when the main control unit 100 finishes the game main process of step S170, it returns to step S130 and repeats the process sequentially.

Next, the operation of the rotating cylinder type game machine basically configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to drawings, flowcharts, and the like. In particular, a rotating game machine in which the winning probability of replay fluctuates and a real bonus and an assist bonus (ART, a third bonus, a pseudo bonus, etc.) are installed will be described.

The present invention has at least the patentable characteristic configurations (1) to (22). (1) A stock lottery will be held during the pseudo bonus. (2) If the actual bonus is won during the pseudo-bonus, after the actual bonus ends, the pseudo-bonus of the same color is put on standby, a promotion lottery is performed, and the pseudo-bonus is started again from the 0th card. (3) In the normal game state after the pseudo-bonus, a stock lottery (number of back stocks and number of released stocks and types) is performed using the stock lottery table according to the role lottery result for each game, but in addition to that, between bonuses. A bonus release lottery is executed according to the number of games. (4) If there is no back stock, the bonus will not be released even if the lottery is won, but in the release ceiling game (777G), a pseudo bonus will be released even if there is no back stock. (5) When the pseudo bonus is released, the color of the design is changed by repeatedly hitting the special button when the white 7REP is won. (6) Assuming that the pseudo BB (rainbow color) is determined, the sub-control unit 160 determines in advance the number of operations of the special button 14 for each color to be changed by lottery, and displays the color determination screen. , Prompts the operation of repeatedly hitting the special button 14. For example, by lottery, the number of color change timing operations is determined in advance, such as 3 times from white to yellow, 5 times from yellow to green, and 7 times from green to red. The emission color of the display LED is controlled. If the White 7 replay does not win, the symbol at the V-shaped position marked with a star in the figure changes to four colors in the same manner. (7) On the other hand, if the start lever 9 is operated without operating the special button 14 while the game medium is inserted due to the replay winning, the top lamp emits light and blinks in the determined color. (8) If the actual bonus is internally won during the pseudo-bonus or stock time, a long-term pseudo-bonus standby state is set after the end of the actual bonus game, and a promotion lottery is performed. Every 10 games in this pseudo-bonus standby state, a pseudo-bonus self-rank-up lottery is performed, and when the special button 14 is pressed while the operation is enabled (internal LED is blinking), the winning lottery is performed at that timing. Is executed. (9) The stock method is unique, and the number and type of back stock is drawn by lottery to determine the number of stocks to be released. (10) In the RT1 state, the RT3 transition lip is won at the same time as the actual bonus → Since the RT1 state does not shift to RT3, the actual bonus winning is found. (11) When the middle-tier cherry is won while the actual bonus is internally won, the cherry symbol is stopped at the corner (upper or lower) and the result of the weak or strong che is displayed on the reel. (12) Pseudo-bonuses are back-stocked, and actual bonuses are immediately announced or arranged in a few G. (13) When the actual bonus symbols are aligned and the final stop operation button of the stop button unit 10 is released, a stock release lottery is performed. (14) There is a reach eye replay combination that is won in the role lottery during the normal game, and the reach eye is displayed by the stop operation. If a pseudo bonus is won in a pseudo game, the same reach is pseudo-stopped by a stop operation. (15) If the reach eye replay is won during the pseudo-bonus, if the release is not won in the release lottery, the normal rip is pushed by right-pressing, and if the release is won, no effect is produced. (16) Back stock: The winning rate of the pseudo ST is lowered during normal operation to make it difficult to hit, the winning rate of the pseudo ST is increased during the pseudo BB, and the newly won portion is released in order. Effect: You can create a pseudo ST loop in the pseudo BB. (17) The RT2 state is a state in which there is no loss. The reason is that the RT2 state is just a passing section required to shift to the RT3 state, so the lost area is eliminated in order to widen the winning area of the RT3 transition replay. (18) In the RT3 state, the winning area of the replay combination is narrowed to have an area that is lost at 655/65536 (about 1/100). The reason is that it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation by giving an illusion of a reach eye by giving a lost eye. (19) The winning probability of the pseudo ST differs greatly between the normal game state and the pseudo bonus game state, and the winning probability of the latter is significantly higher than that of the former. The types of pseudo-bonus stocked are memorized in the order in which they are stocked, and the latest memorized pseudo-bonus is released first. (20) In the pseudo ST, 50 games are executed in one set, but if no bonus stock is won between 50 games, another set is added and 50 games are newly continued from the beginning. (21) While waiting for the actual bonus (inside), not only does the freeze lottery not be performed even if the middle-tier cherry role wins internally, but the stop control is changed so that the cherry symbol is stopped in the upper or lower row. The middle cherry role is displayed as a double cherry role or a triple cherry role. (22) If the reach eye replay is won during the pseudo bonus, a stock lottery is performed, and when the player wins, the push order is not given, but when the player is unsuccessful (missing), the right first push order is displayed. At this time, if the right first operation is performed by the player, the middle replay is displayed so that the reach eye does not appear, but when the left first operation or the middle first operation is performed, the reach eye is displayed to notify the stock winning. It has become.

FIG. 21 is a design layout of the drum.

On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a rotating drum band (not shown) on which the left drum symbol, the middle drum symbol, and the right drum symbol are drawn goes around the outer periphery of each drum. It is stuck on.

Each sash has a different arrangement of symbols (white seven symbol, blue seven symbol, BAR symbol, bell symbol, cherry symbol, watermelon 1 symbol, watermelon 2 symbol, replay 1 symbol, replay 2 symbol, replay 3 symbol). 21 are arranged.

FIG. 22 is a combination display determination diagram of symbols.

When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 determines a 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 (FIG. 22). See A)). However, in all games (normal games, assist games, bonus games, etc.), the prescribed number is assumed to be three.

FIG. 22B is an effective line when a specified number of three game medals are inserted, and the first line (middle, middle, middle: center horizontal line) is in the order of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c. ) Is valid only. That is, in all games, three cards are always inserted, and the center horizontal one line.

FIG. 23 is a payout table during normal operation and bonus operation. FIG. 24 is a schematic view showing a pattern display state of the window portion.

When all three reels (rotary cylinders or drums) are stopped, the main control unit 100 determines a combination display of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line (see FIG. 22).

(1) Bonus 1 (Type 1 accessory continuous operation device): Left drum 2a (blue 7), middle drum 2b (blue 7), right drum 2c (blue 7) are aligned on the effective line and stopped. Then, the number of acquired cards is 0, and then bonus 1 is given (BB1 is activated). This bonus 1 ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/1000, the specified number of inserted games in the bonus 1 exceeds 3, and the number of payouts exceeds 360. When the bonus 1 is internally won by lottery and the bonus 1 flag is set, the bonus 1 can be won. If the bonus 1 is internally won and the prize cannot be won, the bonus 1 is internally won in the carry-over state (RT4) after the next game, but the replay winning probability in each game is about 1 until the bonus 1 is won. It will be about / 2. The operation symbol of bonus 1 is displayed (bonus 1 wins), and after the bonus game ends, the game returns to the initial replay state (replay winning probability 1 / 7.3: RT0).

(2) Bonus 2 (Type 1 accessory continuous operation device): When the left drum 2a (blue 7), the middle drum 2b (blue 7), and the right drum 2c (BAR) are aligned on the effective line and stop. , The number of acquired cards is 0, and then bonus 2 (BB2) is given (operates). This bonus 2 ends when, for example, the winning probability is about 1/500, the specified number of inserted games in the bonus 2 exceeds 3, and the number of payouts exceeds 180. Bonus 2 is internally won by lottery, and when the bonus 2 flag is set, bonus 2 can be won. Further, when the bonus 2 is internally won, the probability of winning the replay in the subsequent game becomes about 1/2 as in the bonus 1. That is, the carry-over state in which the bonus 2 is internally won is RT4. After the end of the bonus game in which bonus 2 is activated, the game returns to the initial replay state (replay winning probability is 1 / 7.3: RT0). The combined probability of the actual bonuses (bonus 1 and bonus 2) is 3/1000.

(3) Middle bell: This is the name of the role when the bell symbols are aligned on the effective line of each drum and stop, and the number of acquired cards is 14.

(4) Lower right bell: For example, when (Replay 2) on the left drum 2a, (Bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (Replay 2) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stop, the bell symbol appears on the lower right. It is displayed and the lower right bell wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be 14.

(5) Upper bell: For example, when (Replay 2) is on the left drum 2a, (Cherry) is on the middle drum 2b, and (Watermelon 2) is on the right drum 2c and stops, the bell symbol is displayed on the upper drum. , The upper bell wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be 14.

(6) Upper watermelon: For example, when (blue 7) on the left drum 2a, (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (cherry) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped, the watermelon pattern is displayed on the upper stage. The upper watermelon wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be five.

(7) Lower right watermelon: For example, when (bell) on the left drum 2a, (watermelon 2) on the middle drum 2b, and (replay 2) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stop, the watermelon pattern appears on the lower right. It is displayed and the lower right watermelon wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be five.

(8) Double cherry (weak cherry): For example, when the left drum 2a has the 18th (BAR), the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c (replay 2) are aligned on the effective line and stopped. Two cherry symbols are displayed on the upper right, and double cherries win a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be two.

(9) Triple cherry (strong cherry): For example, when the left drum 2a has the 18th (BAR), the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c (blue seven) are aligned on the effective line and stopped. Three cherry symbols are displayed on the upper right, and triple cherries win a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be two. In addition, (white seven) may stop on the right drum 2c.

(10) Middle cherry: For example, when the left drum 2a has the 19th (cherry), the middle drum 2b has the 13th (BAR), and the right drum 2c has the 4th (white 7) all on the effective line and stops. , Middle cherry wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired will be two. It is possible to display all three BAR symbols on the lower right. The role of middle cherry is a trigger for the freeze lottery, and if it is won, a freeze effect (reel lock and reel effect) is performed, and a pseudo bonus is immediately released without going through a precursor effect.

(11) Multiple types of single-card combination: For example, when (replay 2) on the left drum 2a, (replay 2) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped, the single-card combination 1 wins. The number of medals (game media) that can be obtained is one. This 1-card combination is a small combination for stop control, and there are multiple types of 1-card combination 1 to 1-card combination n (n is a natural number of 2 or more), but the same applies to the other 1-card combination, so explanations will be given. Is omitted.

(12) Normal replay (replay A): This is the role name when the replay symbols (replays 1 to 3) are aligned on the effective line for each drum. No medals are obtained for this, but the number of bets in the game. You can play the next game while maintaining. It is effective even if it is arranged continuously after the next game, and it is possible to continue playing without consuming coins until the game in which the replay is unsuccessful. A medal is automatically inserted before the start of the game, and the next game can be played by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When a normal replay is internally won by a random number lottery, the RP1 flag is set in the flag area and the replay symbol is always displayed. In appearance, the replay patterns are aligned horizontally in the center. Even if the operation symbol of the re-game A is displayed, the re-game probability does not change.

(13) Normal replay (replay B): For example, it is a role name when (bell) on the left drum 2a, (replay 2) on the middle drum 2b, and (bell) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. On the other hand, no medals are won, but the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in the game. In appearance, the replay patterns are aligned in a straight line on the upper right. Even if the operation symbol of the re-game B is displayed, the re-game probability does not change.

(14) RT1 transition replay (replay 1): This is the role name when (bell) on the left drum 2a, (bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (replay 2) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. No medals are won against the game, but the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in the game. When the RT1 transition replay is internally won by a random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 1 is activated, the replay probability fluctuates, and the state shifts to the RT1 state.

(15) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): This is the role name when the left drum 2a (watermelon symbol), the middle drum 2b (replay symbol), and the right drum 2c (bell) are aligned on the effective line. On the other hand, no medals are won, but the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in the game. Appearance, the replay pattern is displayed in a small V shape. When the RT2 transition replay is internally won by a random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 2 is activated, the replay probability fluctuates, and the RT2 state is entered.

(16) RT3 transition replay (replay 3): This is the role name when (bell) on the left drum 2a, (replay symbol) on the middle drum 2b, and (replay 2) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. On the other hand, no medals are won, but the next game can be played while maintaining the number of bets in the game. When the RT3 transition replay is internally won by a random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 3 is activated, the replay probability fluctuates, and the state shifts to the RT3 state. The RT3 transition replay is internally won even in the RT1 state, and this replay symbol is displayed and the replay 3 is activated, but in the RT1 state, it is always won at the same time as the bonus combination (bonus 1 or bonus 2). As a result, the bonus combination cannot be won (the symbol is not displayed), so even if the RT3 transition replay symbol is displayed during the normal game, the game state is RT4 (RT in the bonus combination internal) which is the carry-over state described above. The advanced player senses that even if the RT3 transition replay wins in the RT1 state, the replay probability does not shift to the RT3 state of about 2/3, but the replay probability shifts to the RT4 state of about 1/2. , Recognize that the bonus role has been won internally (effect). There is no other gaming machine that has such a characteristic configuration and exerts a unique action effect.

(17) White 7 replay: This is the role name when (white 7) is on the left drum 2a, (white 7) is on the middle drum 2b, and (white 7) is on the right drum 2c on the effective line. , When the symbol is displayed, the replay is activated. White 7 replay is won at the same time as a plurality of other replay combinations for stop control (or push order control), and the stop button unit 10 operates (operates) aiming at the white 7 symbol in a predetermined push order. When the specific operation including the order and the operation timing is performed), the white 7 symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center (see FIG. 24 (A)). On the other hand, if the White 7 symbols are not complete, one of the other replay roles that have been won at the same time will definitely win.

(18) White BAR replay: The role name when the fifth (bell) on the left drum 2a, (white 7) on the middle drum 2b, and (white 7) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. When the symbol is displayed, the re-game is activated. This white BAR replay is won at the same time as a plurality of other replay combinations for stop control (or push order control), and the stop button unit 10 operates (or push order control) aiming at the white 7 symbol in a predetermined push order. When the specific operation including the operation order and the operation timing is performed), the white 7 symbols, the white 7 symbols, and the BAR symbols are displayed in a straight line downward to the right (see FIG. 24 (B)). On the other hand, even if it is not displayed in this way, any of the other replay roles that have been won at the same time will definitely win.

(19) BAR replay: This is the role name when (BAR) is on the left drum 2a, (BAR) is on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR) is on the right drum 2c on the effective line, and the design is displayed in the same manner as above. When it is done, the re-game is activated. The BAR replay is won at the same time as a plurality of other replay combinations for stop control (or push order control), and the stop button unit 10 operates (operation order and operation) aiming at the BAR symbol in a predetermined push order. When the specific operation including the timing is performed), the BAR symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center (see FIG. 24C). On the other hand, if the BAR symbols are not aligned, one of the other replay roles that have been won at the same time will definitely win.

White 7 replay and White BAR replay are replays used to release pseudo bonuses (special game 1 and special game 2). Specifically, when Special Game 1 (pseudo BB) is won, White 7 Replay waits for internal winning (promotion standby state), and when White 7 Replay is internally won, White 7 symbol is aimed at by pushing backward. When an instruction (notifying a specific operation) is given and the player operates correctly, the white 7 symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center (see FIG. 24 (A)). In particular, in White 7 Replay, there are 5 game states with different winning probabilities of pseudo-bonus that are stocked during the bonus game and the release is confirmed, and in order to notify the player, White 7 symbols are changed to 5 colors. Change. More specifically, the inside of the three drums of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c of the drum portion 2 is composed of a red LED, a green LED, and a blue LED, and a rotating cylinder design capable of emitting light in any color. Three display LEDs are arranged for each drum, for a total of nine. In the sub-control unit 160, the three rotation body design display LEDs corresponding to the effective line are white → according to the number of operations of the special button 14. The light emitting color is changed from yellow → green → red → rainbow color. To the player, the white 7 symbols appear to change from white to 5 colors in order according to the emission color of the rotating body symbol display LED, which makes the player excited and more entertaining (detailed later).

Similarly, when special game 2 (pseudo RB) is won, it waits for the white BAR replay to win internally (promotion standby state), and when the white BAR replay wins internally without being promoted, it aims at the white 7 symbol by pushing back. When the player correctly operates the white 7 symbol, the white 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol are displayed in a straight line downward to the right (see FIG. 24 (B)). In particular, in the BAR replay, when shifting to a special additional game called stock time for stocking a pseudo bonus, the player is correctly instructed to aim at the BAR symbol by pushing backward (notifying a specific operation). When operated, the BAR symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center (see FIG. 24 (C)).

(20) Reach eyes Replays 1-5: Either (Replay 3) on the left drum 2a, (Watermelon 2 / White 7 / Cherry) on the middle drum 2b, or (Replay 2) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. This is the name of the role in the case of a drum, and similarly, when the symbol is displayed, the replay is activated. This reach eye replay is won at the same time as multiple types of other replay combinations for stop control (or push order control), and when operated aiming at the BAR symbol in the predetermined left first scissors push order, BAR It seems that all the symbols, replay symbols, and bell symbols are in the tempai state, but at the 3rd stop, the middle stop button 10b is operated (specific operation including operation order and operation timing) aiming at the 13th BAR symbol. However, none of the BAR symbol, the replay symbol, or the bell symbol stops on the effective line, resulting in a loss (see FIG. 24 (D)). There are 12 types of such reach eye replays 1 to 12, and when the reach eye is displayed, a bonus is won. In other words, even though the three different symbols are tempted, it is announced that the bonus has been won by not winning any of them (other reach replays are omitted). In the RT3 state, the probability that any of the reach eyes replays 1 to 5 will be internally won is relatively high, about 1/28, and if the situation is not such that the reach eyes are displayed during the pseudo bonus, the main control unit 100 performs a reverse push operation ( The right 1st operation) is instructed, and the sub-control unit 160 displays the right 1st push order screen. When the player stops at the 1st right, the middle replay wins a prize. On the other hand, when the player performs the left 1st operation or the middle 1st operation, any of the 12 reach eyes described later is displayed.

(21) Small push order (push order bell role) bumps (1 to m): A special symbol (falling symbol) displayed on the effective line when the bell role is missed in the push order small role described later. , When any one of the special symbols is displayed, the re-game probability fluctuates, and the state shifts to the RT1 state. For example, when (bell) is displayed on the left drum 2a, (bell) is displayed on the middle drum 2b, and (watermelon symbol) is displayed on the right drum 2c (display of the falling symbol), the gaming state shifts to the RT1 state. (Others are omitted).

25 and 26 are a combination table (simultaneous winning pattern of small winning combination) of the condition devices of the pushing order small winning combination (middle first or right first).

The push order small winning combination is that when the operation order of the stop button section 10 (the pressing order of the stop button section 10) is correct, the bell small winning combination (middle bell or lower right bell) is always won, but when the answer is incorrect. There are times when one of the multiple types of one-card small wins that are won at the same time is won, and there are times when one of the multiple Koboshi eyes (missing symbols of the bell small win) is displayed. It's a small role.

In the push order bell 1, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small combination of the left stop button 10a. There are nine types of push order bells 1 from push order bells 1-1 to push order bells 1-9, so the player should not miss one role by looking at the rolls (stop symbols) of each reel. , The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol. The push order bell 1 is a double push order type push order small winning combination, and the first small winning combination (bell role: FUR1) whose purpose is to win a prize, and the second small winning combination whose purpose is to prevent the winning of the first small winning combination. Multiple types of second small roles (in this case, six types of one small role (FUR11 to FUR16: Replay 2-Replay 2-BAR, ... Replay 1-Replay 3-Watermelon 2)) and the first small role that make up the group. One of the 3rd small role (FUR3: (watermelon 1 / watermelon 2) on the left drum, bell on the middle drum, (white 7 / watermelon) on the right drum) that constitutes the 3rd small role for the purpose of hindering the winning of the role. (Small wins that can be won in any of the four types of symbol combination display) are won at the same time (see push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 25).

In the push order bell 2, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small combination of the right stop button 10c. Since there are nine types of push order bells 2 from push order bells 2-1 to push order bells 2-9, as in the case of push order bell 1, the player sees the outcome (stop symbol) of each reel and 1 It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the symbol so as not to miss the reel.

In the push order bell 3, the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent correct second stop operation is the push order small combination of the left stop button 10a. Since there are nine types of push order bells 3 from push order bells 3-1 to push order bells 3-9, the player sees the outcome (stop symbol) of each reel and 1 as in the push order bell 1. It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the symbol so as not to miss the reel.

In the push order bell 4, the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent correct second stop operation is the push order small combination of the middle stop button 10b. Since there are nine types of push order bells 4 from push order bells 4-1 to push order bells 4-9, the player sees the outcome (stop symbol) of each reel and 1 as in the push order bell 1. It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the symbol so as not to miss the reel. In addition, as the push order bell role, there is one type of 3-choice bell (left 1st push order bell) in which the bell role wins when the first stop operation is correct, and the left push order bell wins and pushes middle or right. In this case, if the small role of the bell is missed and a bumpy eye is displayed, the process shifts to RT1, but since FUR3 and FUR4 of the push order bell 1 to the push order bell 4 are not won, the explanation by the figure is omitted. That is, in the push order bell role, the push order for winning is actually a five-choice bell role.

FIG. 27 is a schematic view showing the symbol display state of the window portion in chronological order.

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the push order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. 25 by random number lottery, the condition devices of FUR1 + FR3 + FR11 to FR16 are simultaneously operated (eight different small winning combinations are simultaneously performed). (Winning), and based on the operation order information (213), it is determined that the operation order of middle → left → right is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes the stop calculation process based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information so that the stop control can be performed immediately regardless of when and when the player operates the stop button unit 10. Create a sliding frame number table. Further, the sliding frame number table is similarly created after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation (see FIG. 10).

FIG. 27 (A) shows a state in which all the drum portions 2 are rotated from top to bottom. When the player first stops the middle stop button 10b in the correct operation order in the state of FIG. 27 (A), the main control unit 100 refers to the slip frame number table and obtains the corresponding slip frame number data. Based on this, the middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw the bell symbol into the effective line (simply, the drum portion 2 is moved by the number of sliding frames. See FIG. 27 (B)). In the state of FIG. 27B, the main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c may be operated. When the player second-stops the left stop button 10a 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 left drum 2a is stopped within the range of, and control is performed to draw the bell symbol into the effective line (see FIG. 27 (C)). In the state of FIG. 27 (C), FUR1 is tenpai. The main control unit 100 creates a slip 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 in the correct operation order is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and pulls the bell symbol into the effective line to perform control (FIG. FIG. 27 (D)).

FIG. 28 is a schematic view showing the symbol display state of the window portion in chronological order. However, since FIGS. 28 (A) and 28 (B) are the same as those of FIGS. 27 (A) and 27 (B), overlapping description will be omitted.

The main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the first stop operation in the state of FIG. 28 (B) in which the first stop operation is correct, and the player right stop button 10c in the incorrect answer operation order. When the second stop operation is performed, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and white 7 symbols. Alternatively, control is performed to draw any of the replay 2 symbols into the effective line (see FIG. 28 (C)). In the state of FIG. 28 (C), the FUR3 is tenpai. The main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the second stop operation so that the left stop button 10a may be operated, and when the player operates the left stop button 10a for the third stop, the main control unit 100 The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and makes either the watermelon 1 symbol or the watermelon 2 symbol an effective line. Control is performed to pull in the watermelon (see FIG. 28 (D)). In the above example, if the first stop operation is the correct answer, either FUR1 or FUL3 will always win a prize, but by arranging the FUL symbols at intervals of 5 frames or more, FUL3 may be missed. Can also be done.

FIG. 29 is a schematic view showing the symbol display state of the window portion in chronological order. However, since FIG. 29 (A) is the same as FIG. 27 (A), a duplicate description will be omitted.

When the player first stops the right stop button 10c in the incorrect answer operation order in the state of FIG. 29 (A), the main control unit 100 refers to the slip frame number table and corresponds to the slip frame number data. Based on the above, the right drum 2c is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and control is performed to always draw any one of the BAR symbol, the blue seven symbol, and the watermelon 2 symbol into the effective line (FIG. 29 (B). )reference). In this case, since the BAR symbol is stopped at the valid line, there is a possibility that only one of FUR11 and FUR14 will win at this point. In the state of FIG. 29B, the main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b may be operated. When the player second-stops the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the slip frame number table and left in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding slip frame number data. The drum 2a is stopped, and if there is a replay 2 symbol within the pull-in range, control is performed to pull the symbol into the effective line (see FIG. 29 (C)). In the state of FIG. 29 (C), both FUR11 and FUR14 are tenpai. The main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the player operates the middle stop button 10b for the third stop, the main control unit 100 Part 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and makes either the replay 2 symbol or the replay 3 symbol an effective line. (See FIG. 29 (D)). On the other hand, if neither the replay 2 symbol nor the replay 3 symbol can be drawn into the effective line, a small combination of push order is displayed (not shown).

FIG. 30 is a schematic view showing the symbol display state of the window portion in chronological order. However, FIG. 30 (A)
Is the same as in FIG. 27 (A), so a duplicate description will be omitted.

When the player first stops the left stop button 10a in the incorrect answer operation order in the state of FIG. 30A, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and corresponds to the sliding frame number data. Based on the above, the middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of 0 to 4 frames, and control is performed to draw any one of the replay 1 symbol, the replay 2 symbol, and the replay 3 symbol into the effective line (FIG. 30 (B). )reference). In this case, since the Replay 3 symbol is stopped at the effective line, there is a possibility that only either FUR12 or FUR15 will win at this point. In the state of FIG. 30B, the main control unit 100 creates a slip 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. There is. 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, the left drum 2a is in the range of 0 to 4 frames. If there is a replay 2 symbol or a replay 3 symbol within the pull-in range, control is performed to pull the symbol into the effective line. For example, the middle stop button is pressed when the 8th cherry symbol is located on the effective line. When 10b is operated, both the replay 2 symbol and the replay 3 symbol do not exist within 4 frames, so the 7th bell symbol is stopped on the effective line in order to display the bumps of the push order small role (Fig.). 30 (C)). At this point, the chances of winning all the small wins are gone. The main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated, and when the player operates the right stop button 10c for the third stop, The main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, and has a small push order (replay 3 symbol). , Bell symbol, bell symbol) is controlled to draw the bell symbol into the effective line (see FIG. 30 (D)). Since the push order bell 2 shown in FIG. 25, the push order bell 3 and the push order bell 4 shown in FIG. 26 have the same logic as the stop control, the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 31 is a game state transition diagram (RT state). FIG. 32 is a schematic view showing a pattern display state of the window portion.

RT0 in the figure is an initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination (replay combination) does not fluctuate, and is a game or bonus game (BB1 or BB2: 1) immediately after the stage setting value is reset. The general game starts in the initial state (also referred to as "initial replay state") from the next game in which the seed or the two-kind bonus continuous operation device is completed. The replay winning probability (replay probability) in this general game is about 1 / 7.3, and in particular, the RT1 transition replay (replay 1), the RT2 transition replay (replay 2), and the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) Since no winner is won, in order to shift from this state to RT1, the above-mentioned bumps of the push order small winning combination must be displayed on the effective line. On the other hand, even if BB1 (bonus 1) or BB2 (bonus 2) is internally won, activated by symbol display, or ended with a payout exceeding a predetermined number, only RT4, bonus game, and RT0 will occur, so this route will also shift to RT1. It is not possible.

In a general game in the RT0 state, if the push-order small winning combination is internally won and the Koboshi pattern is displayed on the valid line due to a mistake in the stop operation procedure of the stop button 10, the RT1 state is set from the next game (continue). The number of games is not fixed, that is, it is infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, and most of the combinations shown in FIG. 23 are randomly drawn and can be won individually or at the same time. That is, the game in the initial state and the game in the RT1 state are in the game state of about 1 / 7.3, which has almost the same replay probability, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is in this RT1 state. However, the RT3 transition replay is also won in the RT1 state and the RT2 state, but in the RT1 state, it is always won at the same time as either BB1 or BB2, so that the RT3 state is not shifted to the RT3 state but is shifted to the RT4 state. Therefore, when the RT3 transition replay symbol is displayed on the effective line in the RT1 state, the player can know that either BB1 or BB2 has been internally elected (specific action effect).

When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state and the operation symbol is displayed on the effective line, the replay probability is increased to about 1 / 1.5 in the RT2 state. Also, in the RT2 state, the winning probability of the two bonus roles and the small role is about 1/3, so the winning probability of the bonus role, the small role and the replay role is 1/1 (100%), and there is no loss at all. Become. The reason is that the RT2 state is just a passing section required to shift to the RT3 state, so the lost area is eliminated in order to expand the winning area of the RT3 transition replay as much as possible.

The RT1 transition replay (replay 1) is a function for quickly dropping to the RT1 state (that is,) because if the RT2 transition replay is activated when the player accidentally presses the stop button portion 10 irregularly, the RT2 transition replay shifts to the RT2 state. , Has the same function as Koboshi eyes (fall replay).

When the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won and activated in the RT2 state, the RT3 state has almost the same replay probability of about 1 / 1.5. Further, the RT3 state is different in that the type of the replay combination to be won in the RT2 state and the size of the winning area are different. Then, the winning area of the replay role is narrowed to have an area that is lost at 655/65536 (about 1/100). The reason is that it is possible to give a sense of expectation by giving a lost eye and making the player think that it is a reach eye. In the RT2 state or the RT3 state, when the grain of the bell role is displayed on the effective line, it falls to the RT1 state. In addition, the RT1 transition replay is not won in order not to fall from the RT3 state to the RT1 state. On the other hand, in the RT3 state, the RT1 transition replay is elected at the same time as either BB1 or BB2, and the player is internally elected by either BB1 or BB2 by shifting to the RT4 state without shifting to the RT1 state. It can also be used to inform (specific action and effect).

The actual bonuses (bonus 1 and bonus 2) can be won in the initial state, RT1 state, RT2 state and RT3 state. Bonus 1 will stop when you win the game independently and aim for the blue 7 symbol on each drum, and will end when the number of payouts exceeds the specified number after the operation (after the bonus 1 game), and the initial replay state. Return to. The RT4 state is a state in which bonus 1 is internally won (bonus carry-over state), and if a loss is drawn in this state, it becomes possible to align the blue 7 symbols (see FIG. 32 (A)). The reason is that the main control unit 100 gives priority to the internally winning replay combination symbol over the blue 7 symbol (bonus symbol), and prioritizes the internally elected small role symbol over the blue 7 symbol. This is because the drum unit 2 is stopped and controlled so as to be pulled into the effective line. If you aim for the Blue 7 symbol at a timing when you cannot pull in the symbol of the internal winning small role, you can align the bonus symbols and stop them.

As with Bonus 1, Bonus 2 will stop when you win the game independently and aim for Blue 7 symbol, Blue 7 symbol, and BAR symbol on each drum, and the number of payouts after operation (after bonus 2 game). When the number exceeds the specified number, it ends and returns to the initial replay state. Further, the RT4 state is a state in which the bonus 2 is internally won, and if a loss is drawn in this state, the blue 7 symbol, the blue 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol can be aligned (see FIG. 32 (B)).

FIG. 33 is a game state transition diagram (effect state). 34 to 37 are schematic views of the effect screen displayed by the display effect device. FIG. 38 is a schematic view showing a pattern display state of the window portion.

The main control unit 100 controls the ball ejection performance, while the sub control unit 160 controls the production.

When the stage set value is reset, various data are cleared and set according to the set value to enter the initial state, and the normal game starts. The state of the normal game includes a normal state 1, a normal state 2, a high accuracy state and an ultra high accuracy state, and is selected by lottery from among them. It should be noted that this initial state is the RT0 state in FIG. 31, and when the missing stitch of the push order small combination is displayed, it becomes the RT1 state. That is, the normal game is performed in the state of RT0 and RT1, and even after the end of the actual bonus, the state of RT1 is reached through RT0.

The sub-control unit 160 switches and displays the effect video to be displayed on the display effect device 11 according to the game state. FIG. 34A is a daytime stage screen, which is mainly used in a state (normal state 1 or normal state 2) in which the winning probability of the pseudo bonus (third bonus or assist bonus) is low. FIG. 34 (B) is a night stage screen, which is mainly used in a state where the probability of winning a pseudo bonus is very high (ultra-high probability state) or an internal winning state (release winning state), so this screen is displayed. Then, the player is uplifted by the expectation of releasing the pseudo bonus. Although not shown, there is also an evening stage, which is used in a low-probability normal state 1 or a high-probability intermediate state between the normal state 2 and the ultra-high probability.

The sub-control unit 160 is a middle-tier cherry (called "single che" in the industry), a strong cherry, a weak cherry, a strong watermelon, a weak watermelon, or a strong bell that is aligned regardless of the push order. If a rare small role such as a role is won and then further won in the transition lottery after that, the normal day screen and the evening screen are switched to the night screen. On the other hand, since the fall lottery is performed with a predetermined probability each time the replay is won, the normal daytime screen, the evening screen, and the nighttime screen are alternately displayed at a predetermined frequency during the general game. Generally, in order to suggest the correct mode to the player, these display screens switch the effect according to the stay mode such as the low probability state or the high probability state during the bonus internal winning, but the mode suggestion is not always correct. Not always, it is possible to further arouse the expectation of the player by appropriately performing the bonus production.

FIG. 34 (C) shows a night-time Kaminari effect screen. When a player operates a start lever to start a variable display game from the night stage screen, the sub-control unit 160 sets a predetermined condition such as when a rare small role is won. Pseudo-bonus lottery (AT bonus lottery) is performed every time. When the pseudo-bonus lottery is performed, the sub-control unit 160 performs an effect of dropping a kaminari on the night stage screen together with thunder in order to inform the player to that effect. In addition, a night-time Kaminari screen is used as a precursor effect to release a real bonus (BB1 or BB2) or a pseudo bonus (pseudo BB, pseudo RB or pseudo ST). In particular, when the actual bonus (BB1 or BB2) is won during normal times, the daytime stage screen is rapidly changed to the nighttime stage screen, and at least two consecutive lightning effects are performed to suggest the bonus winning. In addition, when the lightning effect is performed three times in a row from the daytime stage screen, it is suggested that the actual bonus is confirmed and the pseudo-bonus lottery is won. Therefore, it is possible to arouse the expectation of the player by appropriately generating the thunder sound and the Kaminari effect.

In a gaming state other than the pseudo ST or pseudo super ST described later (particularly, in the normal gaming state), a stock lottery (number of back stocks and number of released stocks and types) is performed using a stock lottery table according to the combination lottery result. .. The number of back stocks is a pseudo bonus or a pseudo ST that is not released immediately but is released when the release lottery is won. On the contrary, even if the release lottery is won (for example, two are won), if the back stock is 0 and there is no pseudo bonus or pseudo ST, the pseudo bonus or pseudo ST cannot be released, and the release winning result is discarded (discarded). .. The number of released stocks is released immediately, and is released as a pseudo bonus or a pseudo ST through a standby state. For example, if a stock lottery is performed with the number of back stocks 0 and the number of back stocks 2 and the number of released stocks 1 are won, the number of back stocks 1 becomes the number of released stocks 1, and the released stock 1 is released as a pseudo bonus or pseudo ST. Will be done. In other words, if there is no back stock, the pseudo bonus cannot be released.

When the sub-control unit 160 announces the winning of the bonus (actual bonus or pseudo-bonus), it becomes a pseudo-bonus precursor of FIG. 33, and is a notification fluctuation display game after performing the precursory Kaminari effect of FIG. 34 (C) several times. The night stage screen is displayed again (see FIG. 35 (A)), and in response to the operation of the stop button section 10, two bats holding a plate approach from a distance and gradually recognize the "BONUS" character. (See Fig. 35 (B)), and finally, the bats that fly away are announced.

In addition, from the state where the night stage screen shown in FIG. 35 (A) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, the graveyard is enlarged, and the character's butler shouts "Orya" and "Tirorollorone". By making the character of the main character appear from the graveyard in the center of the screen that has been dug up with the sound effect, it may be a super hot premiere production for the player (see FIG. 35 (C)). A freeze lottery is held triggered by the winning of the role of middle cherry, and if it is won, the freeze in Fig. 33 will occur, at least 5 back stocks and 5 released stocks will be won, and a pseudo bonus will be released immediately after the freeze effect. .. However, while waiting for the actual bonus (internal), which will be described later, not only does the freeze lottery not be performed even if the middle-tier cherry role wins internally, but the stop control is changed so that the cherry symbol is stopped in the upper or lower row. The middle cherry role is displayed as a double cherry role or a triple cherry role. As an effect, by hiding the best middle-tier cherry role as a rare small role, the player does not have to feel a loss.

When the pseudo-bonus is confirmed by releasing the bonus, the promotion lottery screen is displayed after the confirmation notification effect (see FIG. 36 (A)). Pseudo-bonuses include pseudo-BB and pseudo-RB, pseudo-ST (stock time) of special additional game, and pseudo-super ST (super-stock time) of pseudo-game that imitates this game. Further, there are five types of pseudo BB, pseudo BB (white), pseudo BB (yellow), pseudo BB (green), pseudo BB (red), and pseudo BB (rainbow color), depending on the difference in these colors. Therefore, the pseudo BB stock probabilities in the pseudo BB game are different from each other. Pseudo-bonus consecutive chances are 50% for pseudo-BB (white), 60% for pseudo-BB (yellow), 70% for pseudo-BB (green), 80% for pseudo-BB (red), and pseudo-BB (rainbow color). Is 90%, and the probability of bonus consecutive chan of pseudo RB is the lowest at 30%. Therefore, the player expects a pseudo BB rather than a pseudo RB, and among the pseudo BBs, the pseudo BB (white) <pseudo BB (yellow) <pseudo BB (green) <pseudo BB (red) <pseudo BB (rainbow). I expect it to be (color). More than that, the player is particularly anxious to enter the pseudo ST (stock time) with all the black bars.

On the promotion lottery screen of FIG. 36 (A), the diamond 7 of playing cards is displayed, and it is suggested that the larger the number in the order of 2 to 10 is, the higher the probability of being promoted to pseudo BB. In the case of diamond 7, it is suggested that the probability of becoming a pseudo RB is high. Every 10 games of this promotion game, the promotion self-help lottery (see FIG. 33) starts, and with the operation of the special button 14 enabled, the winning lottery is executed at the timing of the blow operation, and when the winning is won, the diamond You can promote yourself from 7 to 10 etc. On the promotion lottery screen shown in FIG. 36 (B), the diamond 7 is changed to the king of the club, and it is displayed that the pseudo bonus has been promoted by winning the promotion lottery. The picture card and the ace indicate that either the pseudo BB or the pseudo ST is definite. In addition, the club 5 is displayed on the lower left of FIG. 36 (B), which indicates that one pseudo bonus was stocked in the promotion lottery in the promotion game, and the number 5 indicates the probability of becoming a pseudo RB. It suggests that it is high. This stocked club 5 is a release stock that is released immediately after the pseudo-bonus game. In the promotion self-help lottery, the presence or absence of promotion is determined by operating the start lever 9 of the predetermined number of games (10th game), and the 10th game starts and the special button 14 becomes effective. A promotion notification effect (for example, a promotion effect to the diamond 10 or a non-promotion effect that leaves the diamond 7 as it is) may be performed by a single blow operation.

On the promotion lottery screen shown in FIG. 36 (C), the king of the club has changed to the ace of the heart.
It shows that the pseudo bonus has been promoted by winning the further promotion lottery. Ace indicates that either pseudo BB (red), pseudo BB (rainbow color) or pseudo ST is definite. Further, the club 5 and the joker are displayed on the lower left side of FIG. 36C, indicating that one bonus has been stocked in the promotion lottery in the promotion game. This joker indicates that the pseudo ST has been confirmed. Therefore, the player wants the promotion game to last for a long time without suffering even if it is long.

The main control unit 100 (or the sub control unit 160 may be used) determines either pseudo BB (red), pseudo BB (rainbow color), or pseudo ST at the time of FIG. 37 (A), and the determination is made. When is a pseudo BB, when White 7 replay is internally won, it is instructed to aim at White 7 symbol by reverse pressing (first stop operation is right stop button 10c) (see FIG. 37 (B)). On the other hand, when the decision is ST, when the BAR replay is internally won, it is instructed to aim at the BAR symbol by pushing backward (see FIG. 37 (C)).

When the player correctly operates the stop button portion 10 (reverse push and correct operation timing) in the state of FIG. 37 (B), the white 7 replay wins and the white 7 symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center. (See FIG. 38 (A)). Inside the white 7 symbol, a rotating cylinder symbol display LED capable of emitting multiple colors is arranged, and the sub-control unit 160 has three rotating cylinders corresponding to effective lines in response to the operation of the special button 14. The part design display LED changes the emission color from white → yellow → green → red → rainbow color. If the stop button part 10 is pushed backward but the operation timing is wrong, the white 7 replay will not win and another replay will win, but in this case, the symbol with the star in the figure is V-shaped. , The design at this position changes to 5 colors (see FIG. 38 (B)). When the player presses the stop button unit 10 in the reverse direction, the main control unit 100 causes a short freeze and delays the progress of the game. Assuming that the spade 5 is displayed instead of the heart ace in FIG. 37 (B), when the white BAR replay is internally won, the reverse push (the first stop operation is the right stop button 10c) is similarly performed. ) Instructs you to aim for the White 7 pattern. When the player correctly operates the stop button portion 10 (reverse push and operation timing), the white 7 symbol, the white 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol are displayed in a straight line downward to the right (see FIG. 24 (B)).

In the state of FIG. 37 (C), when the player correctly operates the stop button portion 10 (reverse push and correct operation timing), the BAR replay wins and the BAR symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center (FIG. 37). 38 (C)). If the stop button part 10 is pressed backward but the operation timing is wrong, the BAR replay will not win and other replays will win, but in this case, all the symbols will turn rainbow-colored regardless of whether the BAR replay wins or not. Change. When the player presses the stop button unit 10 in the reverse direction, the main control unit 100 causes a short freeze and delays the progress of the game (see FIG. 38 (D)).

FIG. 39 is a schematic view of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device and a schematic view showing a symbol display state of the window portion.

Assuming that the pseudo BB (rainbow color) is determined, the sub-control unit 160 determines in advance the number of operations of the special button 14 for each color to be changed by lottery, displays the color determination screen, and displays the special button. The continuous striking operation of 14 is prompted (see FIG. 39 (A)). For example, by lottery, 3 times from white to yellow (see Fig. 39 (B)), then 5 times from yellow to green, then 7 times from green to red, and then 10 times from red to iridescent. As shown in (see FIG. 39C), the number of operation of the color change timing is determined in advance to control the emission color of the rotating body symbol display LED. If the White 7 replay does not win (see FIG. 38 (B)), the symbol at the V-shaped position marked with a star in the same figure changes to 5 colors in the same manner. On the other hand, when the start lever 9 is operated without operating the special button 14 in the state where the game medium is automatically inserted by any of the replay prizes, the color of the top lamp (upper state display LED 13a) is determined. (In this case, rainbow color) emits light and blinks. The white pattern is a pattern as a specific color, and is a pattern that changes to a color according to the colored light emitted from behind. With just one white 7 symbol, it is possible to change it to a symbol of any color. A light clay color can be used as a specific color, but white is visually the optimum color.

40 to 41 are schematic views of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

The main control unit 100 controls not only the winning combination lottery but also the ball ejection performance (assist function), and when the above-mentioned pseudo BB (rainbow color) is activated, the stock lottery with a pseudo BB stock probability of 90%. Using the table, a stock lottery will be conducted according to the winning combination shown in FIG. The player can select one of four types of stock lottery result notification methods (chance notification, one-shot notification, post-notification, and confrontation notification). On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 receives information (assist information) related to the assist function such as the combination lottery result information and the operation order from the main control unit 100, and performs an appropriate effect based on the information.

When the start lever 9 is operated and the pseudo BB (rainbow color) is started, the sub-control unit 160 displays the pseudo BB start screen and plays cards the type and number of stock pseudo bonuses decided to be released. The pattern (type) and the number of sheets are displayed in the upper left portion of the display effect device 11 (see FIG. 40 (A)). In the main control unit 100, regardless of the bonus color (white to rainbow color) of the pseudo BB, the bell small role of 14 payouts (including the bell in any order such as a strong bell and the left 1st bell) is inside 15 times. Since the pseudo BB is terminated when the player wins, the push order bell role wins the game internally, and even if it is missed, it is managed as one time. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 stores numerical data of 210 sheets as pseudo BB end number data corresponding to the winning of the small bell 15 times. Similarly, the pseudo RB ends when the small winning combination of the bell is internally elected five times, and stores numerical data of 70 as the pseudo RB end number data. The display 000/210 of the BB start screen is the pseudo BB end number data in which the left side is the payout number and the right side is the end condition, and Total is the increase number. The main control unit 100 stores the number of times the bell small role is won during the pseudo-bonus, and terminates the pseudo-bonus when the pseudo-BB wins 15 times and the pseudo-RB wins 5 times. Further, when the additional lottery in the pseudo BB is won, the additional winning amount may be added to the basic number of 15 times. For example, if 5 times are won in the additional lottery, the pseudo BB ends when 20 times are won, and the sub-control unit 160 additionally displays 210 pieces of the denominator as 280 pieces (5 × 14 pieces).

When the push order bell 2-1 shown in FIG. 25 is internally elected and the sub control unit 160 receives the winning combination lottery result information (pushing order small winning combination) and assist information (middle → right → left) from the main control unit 100, The pressing order of the stop button portion 10 required to win the bell small role (FUR1) is indicated by a yellow (bell small role suggestion) circle and numbers 1 to 3. In this case, the number 1 meaning the first stop operation is displayed in a large yellow circle, and the voice of the main character such as Dracula or a princess pronounces "Naka" (see FIG. 40 (B)). However, if the operation is mistakenly displayed, it shifts to RT1 in FIG. 31, so in that case, when the push order replay is won in order to shift to RT2 or RT3 again, the same display and voice are displayed. It is designed to assist the player. If the sub control unit 160 stores the push order information of middle → right → left corresponding to the push order bell 2-1, the main control unit 100 does not need to send the operation order information.

When the player correctly operates the middle stop button 10b, the sub-control unit 160 bursts and erases the large yellow circle in the center, and expands and displays the number 2 meaning the second stop operation to the large yellow circle. (See FIG. 40 (C)).

When the player correctly operates the right stop button 10c, the sub-control unit 160 bursts and erases the large yellow circle on the right side, and expands and displays the number 3, which means the third stop operation, into a large yellow circle. (See FIG. 41 (A)). Then, when the player finally operates the left stop button 10a, the sub-control unit 160 bursts and erases the large yellow circle on the left side, and displays "GET" in the center of the screen (FIG. 41 (B)). (See), the number of payouts 14 is sequentially added to 000 to change to 014, and the number of payouts 14 is added to Total "0" to change to 14 (see FIG. 41 (C)). When the numbers are added in order, the display mode is 000 → 001 → 002 → 003 ... → 013 → 014, and in Total, 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 ... → 13 → 14. On the other hand, if the push order bell combination is internally won and missed, one game ends in a jump display mode such as 000 → 014 instead of the display mode in which the numbers are added in order.

FIG. 42 is a schematic view of the effect screen displayed by the display effect device, and displays the flow of the image until the end of one pseudo bonus.

The main control unit 100 stores the number of times the bell small role has been won since the start of the pseudo BB, and in the game in which the number of times the bell small role has been won is the 15th time, the right → middle → left push order small role 4-1 (See FIG. 26) shows the state of internal winning (see FIG. 42 (A)). In addition, although 10 of spades are additionally displayed in the upper left, it shows that one release stock was won during the pseudo BB (rainbow color) game, and a total of 3 pseudo bonuses are stocked, which is the most. It is released in order from 5 of the club on the left.

When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the order of pressing right → middle → left, the main control unit 100 wins a small bell and pays out 14 game media (see FIG. 42 (B)), and pseudo BB. It is determined whether or not the end condition (the number of times the bell small role has been won 15 times) is satisfied, and when the end condition is satisfied, the pseudo BB is terminated and a short freeze state of about 3 seconds is set (FIG. 42). (C)). The sub-control unit 160 displays that the total number of 210/210 sheets and the increased number of sheets is 167, and the total number of sheets is 167 on the bonus end screen, and × 1 to indicate that the BIG bonus has been performed once. × 0 is displayed to indicate that the REG bonus has been performed 0 times. In addition, 14 is added to 000 of 000/210 sheets regardless of whether the push order bell role is won or missed, but 14 is added to 000 except for the bell role (for example, cherry or watermelon which is a rare small role). Not done. On the other hand, the number of cards actually won and paid out is added to Total, and the number of games consumed (3 cards / game) is subtracted.

43 to 44 are a schematic view of the effect screen and a schematic view showing a pattern display state of the window portion.

Here, referring to FIG. 33, when the end condition of the pseudo BB is satisfied, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not there is a pseudo bonus and a pseudo ST stock that can be released, and if there is a release stock, a pseudo bonus or a pseudo stock time. While shifting to waiting, if there is no stock, it shifts to normal game. In this case, since there are three stocks and the pseudo bonus and the pseudo ST are consumed in the order of acquisition, the promotion lottery screen of the leftmost club 5 is displayed first as in FIG. 36 (A) (FIG. 43 (FIG. 43). See A)). When the white BAR replay is won, the main control unit 100 instructs the sub control unit 160 to aim at the white 7 symbol by pushing back (the first stop operation is the right stop button 10c) without being promoted from the club 5 (1st stop operation is the right stop button 10c). (See FIG. 43 (B)), when the player correctly operates the stop button portion 10 (reverse push and correct operation timing), the white BAR replay wins and the white 7 symbol, the white 7 symbol, and the BAR symbol are aligned downward to the right. They are displayed together (see FIG. 43 (C)). However, it was the replay role of the bell symbol, the white 7 symbol, and the white 7 symbol that actually won the prize and operated.

When the pseudo RB is activated, the main control unit 100 performs a stock lottery according to the winning combination shown in FIG. 23 using the stock lottery table having a pseudo BB stock probability of 30%. The sub-control unit 160 receives information related to the assist function (assist information) such as the winning combination lottery result information and the operation order from the main control unit 100, and performs an appropriate effect based on the information.

When the start lever 9 is operated and the pseudo RB is started, the sub control unit 160 displays the pseudo RB start screen, and displays the type and number of pseudo bonuses in stock with the pattern and number of playing cards of the display effect device 11. It is displayed at the upper left (see FIG. 44 (A)). The main control unit 100 terminates the pseudo BB when the bell small winning combination of 14 payouts is internally elected five times, so that the push order bell winning combination is internally elected and managed as one time even if it is missed. .. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 stores numerical data of 70 sheets as pseudo BB end number data corresponding to the winning of the small bell 5 times.

The main control unit 100 wins the fifth bell small winning combination and pays out 14 game media (see FIG. 44B), determines whether or not the termination condition of the pseudo RB is satisfied, and determines the termination condition. When is satisfied, the pseudo RB is terminated and a short freeze state is set for about 3 seconds. The sub-control unit 160 displays that the total number of sheets is 70/70 and the increased number of sheets continuously coefficiented from the first pseudo BB is 248 (see FIG. 44 (B)), and the total number is displayed on the bonus end screen. 248 sheets are displayed as x1 to indicate that the BIG bonus has been performed once, and x1 to indicate that the REG bonus has been performed once. In the push order bell role, 14 is added to 00 of 00/70 sheets regardless of whether the prize is won or missed, but except for the bell role (for example, rare small role cherry or watermelon), it is completely added to 00. Not added. On the other hand, the number of cards actually won and paid out is added to Total, and the number of cards consumed (3 cards per game) is subtracted.

45 to 46 are schematic views of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device. FIG. 47 is an explanatory diagram showing the types of reach eyes.

Here, referring to FIG. 33, when the termination condition of the pseudo RB is satisfied, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not there is a pseudo bonus to be released and a pseudo ST release stock, and if there is a release stock, a pseudo bonus or a pseudo stock time. While shifting to standby, if there is no release stock, it shifts to normal game. In this case, since there are two released stocks and they are digested in the order in which the pseudo bonus and the pseudo ST are acquired, the leftmost joker is displayed first, and the spade stocked directly below it is displayed as in FIG. 43 (A). 10 is displayed (see FIG. 45 (A)). Since the joker has the highest stock time fixed, the main control unit 100 performs a pseudo bonus or a pseudo ST stock lottery instead of the promotion lottery. Since this stock lottery is executed using a stock lottery table according to the result of the role lottery such as cherry and watermelon, if a confirmed role or a rare small role is won in the role lottery, the probability of winning the stock lottery increases (confirmed). The role is 100% and multiple stocks of 2 or more are won). FIG. 45B shows a state in which a pseudo bonus or a pseudo ST is newly won in the stock lottery, and an ace of spades having a pseudo BB (red) or higher or a pseudo ST confirmed is displayed.

When the BAR replay is won in the state of FIG. 45 (B), the main control unit 100 instructs the sub control unit 160 to aim at the BAR symbol by reverse pressing (see FIG. 45 (C)), and the player presses the stop button. When the part 10 is operated correctly, the BAR replay wins and the BAR symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center (see FIG. 24 (C)).

When the main control unit 100 activates a pseudo ST of 50 games in one set (see FIG. 33), the stock lottery table with a probability (200%) of stocking two on average per set is used in FIG. 23. A stock lottery will be held according to the winning combination shown. In the stock lottery performed during the pseudo bonus, the number of back stocks and the number and types of released stocks are determined, so if only the back stocks are won, the pseudo bonus will not be released. However, in the stock lottery conducted in the pseudo ST or the pseudo super ST, the number and type of released stock are determined regardless of the presence or absence of the back stock and without using the back stock. Pseudo bonuses and the like are released immediately after the pseudo ST ends. In addition, the number of back stocks currently stored is maintained as it is, and can be used in pseudo-bonus games, normal games, pseudo-bonus games, and the like.

When the start lever 9 is operated and the pseudo ST is started, the sub control unit 160 displays a pseudo ST start screen (stock time start screen), and sets the type and number of pseudo bonuses currently in stock as a card pattern (type). ) And the number of cards are displayed in the upper left part of the display effect device 11. In this case, since one game has been exhausted, the number of remaining games is 49, and it is displayed that the total number of games has increased by 254 (FIG. 46 (A)). reference). FIG. 46 (B) announces that a rare small role was won in the first game of the start of the pseudo ST. For example, when a strong cherry (triple cherry) is internally won, a stock lottery is performed with a high probability and a drum is played. The rotating body symbol display LED of the ineffective line (excluding the middle row, the upper row and the lower row) of the part 2 is turned on in red for about 2 seconds. In this case, one bonus stock is won and one additional heart queen whose pseudo BB (white) or higher is confirmed is displayed, and the triple cherry with a two-payout wins and the increased number is increased. Two sheets are added and displayed as 256 sheets in Total (see FIG. 46 (C)). In this pseudo ST, 50 games are executed in one set, but if no bonus stock is won between 50 games, another set is added and 50 games are newly continued from the beginning. The number of games to be added may be determined by lottery from 30 games, 40 games, 50 games, 100 games, and the like. Further, if the additional lottery during the pseudo ST is won, the additional winning amount may be added to the basic number of 50 games.

Rare small roles (upper watermelon, lower right watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, reach eye replays 1 to 12) won during the pseudo ST are the triggers for the freeze lottery, and if you win in this freeze lottery, the game When the start lever 9 is operated while betting after the end, the main lottery of the next game (actual bonus, small role, replay, etc. is decided) is executed, and the progress of the game is delayed. Start ST (pseudo game) and execute the stock lottery. If the freeze lottery is won, the guaranteed number of games and the loop rate are set. By executing the stock lottery, a stock lottery to be released (release stock quantity lottery), a continuous lottery to determine the continuation or end of the pseudo super ST (or also called a puncture lottery) are performed, and the pseudo super ST (“super stock” in FIG. See "Time"). Pseudo-super ST is a pseudo-game with a reel freeze effect that imitates the main game, and is not the main game, but as mentioned above, the role has already been decided by the main lottery, and the progress of the main game is stopped (or). , Delay).

When the pseudo super ST starts, the reel freeze effect is executed, and the drum portion 2 rotates in the same manner as in the main game. When the number of released stocks is determined by the stock lottery and the three stop button parts 10 are operated, the corresponding drum parts 2 are stopped and one of the reach eyes (see FIG. 47) is displayed to display the pseudo bonus stock. Notify the winner. In order to show the player that the drum unit 2 is in the pseudo-game state, the drum unit 2 is in the pseudo-stop state in which the drum unit 2 repeats fine movements up and down after the final stop operation. In addition, the number of released stocks is additionally displayed on the display effect device 11 according to the type and number of playing cards. When released and stocked, the rotating body design display LED of the drum unit 2 is lit or blinked in many colors (yellow, green, red, rainbow) from 2 seconds to the end of one pseudo game. There are a plurality of reach eye replay combinations (see FIG. 23) in which the reels actually stop at the reach eye shown in FIG. 47, and when any of the reach eye replay combinations is won, depending on the push order and the operation timing, Also in this game, it is displayed in the same reach stop type as in FIG. 48. In this pseudo ST or pseudo super ST, if the release lottery is won, the number of winning lottery is released as a pseudo bonus or pseudo ST after the completion of the pseudo ST and the standby state. That is, in the pseudo ST or the pseudo super ST, even if there is no back stock, the stock is immediately released if the release lottery is won. In addition, what has been stored as back stock will be taken over as it is as the number of back stock even if it shifts to the normal game. It should be noted that the reach eyes shown in FIG. 48 include a plurality of reach eyes (for example, Gechena in the center of the upper figure of FIG. 48) that stop inside the actual bonus.

When the start lever 9 is operated in the continuous state of the pseudo super ST, the stock lottery and the continuous lottery are performed, the drum unit 2 rotates, and the next pseudo super ST starts. When the continuation of the pseudo super ST is decided (the end condition is not satisfied) and the three stop button units 10 are operated, the corresponding drum unit 2 is pseudo-stopped and the normal replay (middle stage replay or middle stage replay or) is performed. By displaying the upper right replay), the continuation of the pseudo super ST is notified. On the other hand, if the stock lottery and the continuous lottery are not met (the end condition is satisfied), when the three stop button parts 10 are operated, the corresponding drum parts 2 are stopped in a pseudo manner, and the corresponding drum parts 2 are stopped in a pseudo manner, resulting in a loss (separate but non-reach). ) Is displayed to notify the end of the pseudo super ST and return to the pseudo ST. If the reach-eye replay role is won during the pseudo-bonus, a stock lottery will be held, and if the player wins, the push order will not be given, but if the player is unsuccessful (missing), the right first push order will be displayed. At this time, if the right first operation is performed by the player, the middle replay is displayed so that the reach eye does not appear, but when the left first operation or the middle first operation is performed, the reach eye is displayed to notify the stock winning. It has become.

FIG. 48 is a flowchart of the super stock time.

When the freeze lottery is won, the main control unit 100 calls the subroutine of the pseudo super ST, and sets the guaranteed number of games and the loop rate in step S200. When the start lever 9 is operated in step S210, the main control unit 100 shifts to step S220, but since it is the first time, the start lever 9 has already been operated. If the start lever 9 is not operated after the second time, the time counting time of about 20 seconds is timed up, and the process proceeds to step S220. In step S220, the presence or absence of the guaranteed number of games is determined, and if it is not 0, the process proceeds to step S223 to determine the type of pseudo-bonus or pseudo-ST (referred to as pseudo-bonus, etc.), and the determined type of pseudo-bonus, etc. The reach eye is determined accordingly, and the rotating drum unit 2 is stopped (or pseudo-stopped) by the operation of the stop button unit 10 to display the reach eye (step S225). On the other hand, if the number of guaranteed games is 0, the process proceeds to step S230, a puncture lottery (also referred to as continuous lottery) of the pseudo super ST is performed, and whether or not the end condition of the pseudo super ST is satisfied in step S240. (That is, the puncture lottery is performed at the operation timing of the start lever 9). If the end condition is not satisfied in step S240, the number of stocks N (integer of 0 or more) is determined in step S250, and the type of pseudo-bonus or the like or stock unwinning is determined. If N is 0, it will always be unsuccessful, but if N is 1 or more, it will be unsuccessful if it is lost in a type lottery such as a pseudo bonus. Tep S255 determines whether or not there is stock such as a pseudo bonus (stock winning), determines the reach according to the type and number of pseudo bonuses, etc., and stops the rotating drum unit 2 by operating the stop button unit 10. (Or, it is pseudo-stopped) to display the reach eye (step S225). On the other hand, if there is no stock, the normal replay eye is displayed by operating the stop button unit 10 in order to notify that the lottery will continue (step S228). On the other hand, if the end condition is satisfied, the drum unit 2 is stopped (or pseudo-stopped) by the operation of the stop button unit 10 to display a lost eye (step S260), and the pseudo super ST is terminated to be pseudo. Execute ST again.

FIG. 49 is a schematic view of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

The main control unit 100 digests the pseudo ST of 50 games, ends the pseudo ST when the number of remaining games becomes 0, and displays that the increased number of totals is 318 (see FIG. 49 (A)). .. Further, the sub-control unit 160 displays the types and numbers of the pseudo bonuses and pseudo STs stocked in the pseudo ST and the pseudo super ST in the upper left portion of the display effect device 11 in association with the patterns and the number of playing cards (FIG. 49). See (A)). In this case, 6 new items are released and stocked, and the Queen of Hearts, 8 of Dia, Jack of Spades, Jack of Hearts, Joker, and 9 of Spades are additionally displayed.

Here, referring to FIG. 33, the main control unit 100 determines that the pseudo ST end condition is satisfied.
Either a pseudo bonus or a pseudo ST stock always exists, and the game shifts to a pseudo bonus or a pseudo stock time waiting with a high release order. In this case, since there are 8 stocks and the pseudo bonuses and pseudo STs are consumed in the order in which they are acquired, the 10 promotion lottery screens of the leftmost spades are displayed first, and immediately below that, as in FIG. 43 (A). The other seven stocks are displayed (see FIG. 48 (B)). The main control unit 100 displays to the sub-control unit 160 that the pseudo-bonus has been promoted by winning the promotion lottery and 10 of the spades has become the king of the spades, and when the white 7 replay is won, the sub-control unit 160 displays. Press back (the first stop operation is the right stop button 10c) to instruct to aim at the white 7 symbol (see FIG. 49 (C)).

When the player correctly operates the stop button portion 10, White 7 replay wins and White 7 symbols are displayed in a straight line in the center (see FIG. 38 (A)). Assuming that the pseudo BB (green) is determined, the sub-control unit 160 determines in advance the number of operations of the special button 14 for each color to be changed by lottery, displays the color determination screen, and displays the special button 14 (See FIG. 39 (A)). For example, the sub-control unit 160 determines in advance the number of color change timing operations, such as 5 times from white to yellow (see FIG. 39 (B)) and 7 times from yellow to green by lottery. The emission color of the rotating body design display LED is controlled.

Here, referring to FIG. 33, a game in which the actual bonus (bonus 1, bonus 2) is internally won in all the game states (normal game, precursor, standby, pseudo-bonus, stock time, super stock time) in the square frame. When all the bonus symbols are collected and a prize is won, the actual bonus game will start immediately. On the other hand, if the bonus symbols are not aligned in the internally won game, the game shifts to the game state inside the actual bonus (loss probability 1/2 at RT4), and the winning of the actual bonus is announced after a few games of intense hot production. .. When the actual bonus symbols are aligned and the final stop operation button of the stop button unit 10 is released, a stock release lottery (lottery of the number and types of pseudo bonuses to be released) is performed. As a result, a high-probability stock release lottery is executed at least once in one actual bonus game, so even if a rare small role cannot be drawn during the actual bonus game, the player is expected to release a pseudo bonus. The feeling increases. In other words, the stock lottery (number of back stocks, number of releases, type) is executed when the actual bonus symbols are prepared. Also, during the actual bonus game, a stock lottery is performed based on the winning combination, which is the result of the combination lottery. Since the probability of winning in this stock lottery is much higher for rare small roles than for ordinary roles such as normal replays and bell small roles, players especially expect rare small roles to be won. One actual bonus game ends when the end condition (for example, exceeding the specified number) based on the number of game medals paid out is satisfied.

In particular, if the actual bonus is internally won during the pseudo bonus or pseudo ST (stock time), it will be RT0 (initial state) after the end of the actual bonus game, and RT0 state → RT1 state → RT2 state → pseudo bonus symbol winning (white 7 replay) Etc.) will be in a long-term pseudo-bonus waiting state for promotion lottery. Every 10 games in this pseudo-bonus standby state, a pseudo-bonus self-rank-up lottery is performed, and when the special button 14 is pressed while the operation is enabled (internal LED is blinking), the winning lottery is performed at that timing. Is executed, and if it is won, it becomes "success" and the pseudo bonus ranks up. For example, it is promoted from pseudo RB to pseudo BB (white), from pseudo BB (red) to pseudo BB (rainbow color), and from pseudo BB (rainbow color) to pseudo ST. On the other hand, in the case of a loss, the rank of the pseudo bonus is maintained. Then, when the pseudo-bonus symbol is internally won, the pseudo-bonus is aimed again by pushing the symbol in reverse, and the pseudo-bonus is executed again from the 0th card of the first start number.

As described above, when the pseudo-bonus game is repeated and all the stocked pseudo-bonus etc. are released and "no release stock" is obtained (see FIG. 33), the normal game state (normal state 1, normal state) 2. Return to either the high-accuracy state or the ultra-high-accuracy state). In this normal game state, a stock lottery (number of back stocks and number of released stocks and types) is performed using a stock lottery table according to the combination lottery result for each game, but in addition to this, according to the number of games between bonuses. , Bonus release lottery is executed. The winning rate of bonus release is 20% for the 1st game, 3% for the 11th game, 6% for the 33rd game, 3% for the 55th game, 15% for the 77th game, 3% for the 99th game, 111. 3% of games, 3% of 222 games, 30% of 333 games, 5% of 444 games, 10% of 555 games, 5% of 666 games, 50% of 777 games, 888 games The eyes are allocated as 5% and the 999th game as 100%, and the bonus release lottery is not performed for the number of other games (for example, the 2nd to 10th games). Even if you win the bonus release lottery, if there is no back stock of the pseudo bonus (0 back stock), the pseudo bonus will not be released, but at least 1 release stock at 100% in the 999th game on the ceiling The number and type are decided, and it will be released as a pseudo bonus etc. after the precursory production.

In the normal game state (normal game, pseudo bonus precursor, pseudo bonus waiting) and the pseudo bonus game state (pseudo bonus, stock time, super stock time) in FIG. 33, the probability of winning the pseudo ST (stock time) is large. Unlike the former, the winning probability of the latter is significantly higher than that of the former (5% for the former and 50% for the latter). That is, 90% of the pseudo bonuses won in the normal game state are pseudo BB or pseudo RB, and 10% are pseudo ST, while 50% of the pseudo bonuses won in the pseudo bonus game state are pseudo BB or pseudo BB or pseudo. In RB, it becomes 50% pseudo ST. Then, the main control unit 100 stores the stocked pseudo-bonus types in the stocked order, and releases the latest stored pseudo-bonus first (Last in First out). As a result, it is possible to form a series of game loops from the pseudo bonus to the stock time and from the stock time to the pseudo bonus, and it is possible to make a big wave of balls.

FIG. 50 is a design layout of the drum.

On each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a rotating drum band (not shown) on which the left drum symbol, the middle drum symbol, and the right drum symbol are drawn goes around the outer periphery of each drum. It is stuck on.

Each sash has a different arrangement of symbols (red seven symbol, BAR symbol, bell symbol, cherry symbol, watermelon 1 symbol, watermelon 2 symbol, replay symbol, blank 1 symbol, blank 2 symbol, blank 3 symbol). Twenty pieces are arranged in each cylinder. Since the combination display determination of the symbols is the same as that shown in FIG. 22, the description is incorporated.

FIG. 51 is a payout table during normal operation and bonus operation. However, only the three types of bell small combination (appearance) and inhibition small combination (one small combination) necessary for the explanation of the push order small combination of the present invention are shown, and the bonus (type 1 combination) described in FIG. 23 is shown. The object continuous operation device), rare small role and replay role are only omitted. Therefore, since the same combination can be adopted as needed, the description thereof will be omitted.

(1) Upper bell (FUR1): When the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c (watermelon 1) are aligned on the effective line and stopped, the bell symbol is displayed on the upper drum. , The upper bell wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) won will be 14 (one of the specific small roles with the highest payouts).

(2) Middle bell (FUR2): This is the name of the role when the bell symbols are aligned on the effective line of each drum and stop, and the number of acquired cards is 14 (one of the specific small roles with the highest payout).

(3) Lower right bell (FUR3): When the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (bell symbol), and the right drum 2c (replay) are aligned on the effective line and stopped, the bell symbol appears downward to the right. It is displayed and the lower right bell wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) won will be 14 (one of the specific small roles with the highest payouts).

(4) Multiple types of single-card combination A: For example, when the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (watermelon 2), and the right drum 2c (red seven) are aligned on the effective line and stopped, one card is used. Role A wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) that can be obtained is one. This one-card combination is a small combination for stop control, and there are a plurality of types of one-card combination A1 to one-sheet combination An (n is a natural number of 2 or more) as needed. Either the middle-first middle-push order small combination or the right-first right-push order small combination (these two push-order small combinations are push-order small combinations other than the left-first left-push order small combination) is internally won. Then, when the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop operation, it is a one-sheet small winning combination group for inhibiting the winning of the bell small winning combination (winning purpose small winning combination or specific small winning combination). The feature of this one-card combination A is that the design of the left drum 2a is a replay design, which is the same design as the upper bell.

(5) Multiple types of single-card combination B: For example, when the left drum 2a (blank 1), the middle drum 2b (watermelon 2), and the right drum 2c (replay) are aligned on the effective line and stopped, one card is used. Role B wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) that can be obtained is one. This one-card combination is a small combination for stop control, and there are a plurality of types of one-card combination B1 to one-card combination An (n is a natural number of 2 or more) as needed. When either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop operation, the left first left push order small combination is internally won, and the bell small combination (winning purpose small combination or specific small combination) It is a group of small roles to prevent winning.

FIG. 52 is a combination table (simultaneous winning pattern of small wins) of the condition devices of the left push order small win (left first).

The push order small winning combination (pushing order bell) means that when the operation order of the stop button section 10 (pushing order of the stop button section 10) is correct, the bell small winning combination (upper bell, middle bell or lower right bell) is always won. On the other hand, in the case of an incorrect answer, when one of the multiple types of one-card small wins that are won at the same time is won, and for multiple Koboshi eyes (missing symbols of the bell small-role, 0 payouts). It is a duplicate winning small role that sometimes displays one of them.

In the left push order bell 1, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the left stop button 10a, and the subsequent second stop operation of the correct answer is the push order small combination of the middle stop button 10b. There are nine types of left-push order bells 1 from left-push order bells 1-1 to left-push order bells 1-9, so the player misses one role by looking at the outcome (stop symbol) of each reel. The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol so as not to be present. The left push order bell 1 is a double push order type push order small winning combination, and the first small winning combination (upper bell role: FUR1) for the purpose of winning a prize, and the second small winning combination for the purpose of hindering the winning of the first small winning combination. Multiple types of second small combinations (in this case, six types of one small combination (FUR11 to FUR16: blank 1-watermelon 2-replay, ... cherry-watermelon 2-replay)) and the first small combination Either the third small role (FUR4: left drum (replay), middle drum (bell / blank 1), or right drum (BAR / cherry)) that constitutes the third small role for the purpose of hindering the winning of the role. (Small wins that can be won in any of the four types of symbol combination display) are won at the same time (see the left push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 52).

In the left push order bell 2, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the left stop button 10a, and the subsequent second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small combination of the right stop button 10c. Since there are nine types of left push order bells 2 from push order bells 2-1 to left push order bells 2-9, the player can make a roll (stop symbol) on each reel in the same manner as the left push order bell 1. It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the design so as not to miss the role of one reel. Others are the same as the left push order bell 1, so the description will be omitted.

FIG. 53 is a combination table (simultaneous winning pattern of small wins) of the condition devices in the middle push order small win (middle first).

In the middle push order bell 3, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small combination of the left stop button 10a. There are nine types of middle-push order bells 3 from middle-push order bells 3-1 to middle-push order bells 3-9, so the player should not miss one role by looking at the rolls (stop symbols) of each reel. , The stop button unit 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol. The middle push order bell 3 is a double push order type push order small role, and the first small role (middle bell role: FUR2) for the purpose of winning a prize, and the second small role for the purpose of hindering the winning of the first small role. Multiple types of second small wins (in this case, six types of one small win) that make up the role group, and a third small win (FUR5) that constitutes the third small win for the purpose of hindering the winning of the first small win. ) Are won at the same time (see push order bell 3-1 in FIG. 53).

In the middle push order bell 4, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small combination of the right stop button 10c. There are nine types of middle push order bells 4 from middle push order bells 4-1 to middle push order bells 4-9. Therefore, as with the middle push order bell 3, the player sees the outcome (stop symbol) of each reel and 1 It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the symbol so as not to miss the reel. Others are the same as the middle push order bell 3, so the description will be omitted.

FIG. 54 is a combination table (simultaneous winning pattern of small wins) of the condition device of the right push order small win (right first).

In the right push order bell 5, the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent correct second stop operation is the push order small combination of the left stop button 10a. Since there are nine types of right-push order bells 5 from right-push order bells 5-1 to right-push order bells 5-9, the player can make a roll (stop symbol) on each reel in the same way as the middle-push order bell 4. It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the design so as not to miss the role of one reel. Others are the same as the middle push order bell 3, etc., so the description will be omitted.

In the right push order bell 6, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the right stop button 10c, and the second stop operation that is the correct answer is the push order small combination of the middle stop button 10b. There are nine types of right-push order bells 6 from right-push order bells 6-1 to right-push order bells 6-9. Therefore, as with the right-push order bell 5, the player rolls each reel (stop symbol). It is not possible to operate the stop button unit 10 aiming at the design so as not to miss the role of one reel. Others are the same as the middle push order bell 3, etc., so the description will be omitted. The push order bell combination described in the first embodiment is actually a five-choice bell combination, but in the second embodiment, the correct operation order is six six-choice bell combinations.

55 and 56 are schematic views showing the symbol display state of the window portion in chronological order.

In the revolving game machine, there is a method of stopping the reel 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 use the BAR pattern (DDT point) of the left drum 2a, and this method of striking is called the DDT striking method derived from an insecticide. A cherry symbol is placed under the BAR symbol, and when the cherry role is not won, the BAR symbol stops at the bottom (BAR drop). When the cherry role is won, the cherry pattern can stop at the middle or corner to win the cherry role. On the other hand, when the watermelon role is won, the BAR symbol slides one frame from the lower row and the watermelon symbol stops at the upper row, so after that, the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c are also stopped by aiming at the watermelon symbol. ..

Skilled players play slot games using the DDT method, so even though the watermelon role has not been won, it feels strange that the watermelon pattern stops on the left drum 2a. It is an invention of a push order small role to solve.

For example, when the main control unit 100 internally wins the left push order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. 52 by random number lottery, as described above, the condition devices of FUR1 + FUR4 + FUR11 to FUR16 are simultaneously operated (8 different small winning combinations are performed). (Simultaneous winning), and based on the operation order information (123), it is determined that the operation order of left → middle → right is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes the stop calculation process based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information so that the stop control can be performed immediately regardless of when and when the player operates the stop button unit 10. Create a sliding frame number table. Further, the sliding frame number table is similarly created after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation.

FIG. 55 (A) shows a state in which all the drum portions 2 are rotated from top to bottom, and in this state, the player first stops the left stop button 10a in the correct operation order by the DDT striking method. When operated (see FIG. 55 (A)), the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. , Control is performed to draw the replay symbol of the upper bell role into the effective line (simply, the drum portion 2 is moved by the number of sliding frames, and in FIG. 55 (B), 4 frames are slipped). In the state of FIG. 55 (B), the main control unit 100 creates a slip 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 second-stops 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 (see FIG. 55 (C)) to pull the cherry symbol into the effective line. In the state of FIG. 55 (C), FUR1 is tenpai. The main control unit 100 creates a slip 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 in the correct operation order is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, pulls the watermelon 1 symbol into the effective line, and controls it. The upper bell role is won (see Fig. 55 (D)).

Since FIGS. 56A and 56B are in the same state as those in FIGS. 55A and 55B, the description thereof will be omitted.

In the state of FIG. 56B, the main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c can be operated. When the player second-stops the right stop button 10c in the incorrect answer operation order, the main control unit 100 refers to the slip frame number table and based on the corresponding slip frame number data, 0 frames to 4 frames. The middle drum 2b is stopped in the range of the frame, and control for drawing the BAR symbol into the effective line, for example, is performed (see FIG. 56 (C)). In the state of FIG. 56 (C), FUR4 is tenpai. The main control unit 100 creates a slip 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 in the correct operation order is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, pulls the bell symbol into the effective line, controls it, and inhibits it. The small role FUR4 is won (see FIG. 56 (D)). When the first stop operation is an incorrect answer operation, it is explained with reference to FIG. 27 and the like in the first embodiment, and the explanation is incorporated.

FIG. 57 is a schematic view showing the symbol display state of the window portion in chronological order.

When the main control unit 100 internally wins the middle push order bell 3-1 shown in FIG. 53 by random number lottery, as described above, FUR2 + FUR5 and six inhibition small combination condition devices are simultaneously operated (eight different small combinations). Is won at the same time), and based on the operation order information (213), it is determined that the operation order of middle → left → right is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes the stop calculation process based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information so that the stop control can be performed immediately regardless of when and when the player operates the stop button unit 10. Create a sliding frame number table. Further, the sliding frame number table is similarly created after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation.

FIG. 57 (A) shows a state in which all the drum portions 2 are rotating from top to bottom, as in FIG. 55 (A), and in this state, the player makes an incorrect answer operation by the DDT striking method. When the left stop button 10a in the order is first stopped (see FIG. 57 (A)), the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, 0 frames to 4 frames. The middle drum 2b is stopped within the range of the frame, and control is performed to draw the replay symbol common to the six obstructive small roles into the effective line (simply, the drum portion 2 is moved by the number of sliding frames, and FIG. 57 ( In B), only 4 frames are slipping). The player does not feel any discomfort in the state of FIG. 57 (B), and does not notice that the push order small role has been won. The main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c can be operated, and the player is in the correct operation order. When the stop button 10b is second-stopped, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. Control is performed to draw the watermelon 1 symbol into the effective line (see FIG. 57 (C)). In the state of FIG. 57 (C), two small inhibitory roles are tempted. The main control unit 100 creates a slip 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 in the correct operation order is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 frames to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, pulls the red seven symbol into the effective line, and controls it. One of the small obstacles is won (see FIG. 57 (D)). However, if the stop operation is performed at a position where neither the red seven symbol nor the blank 1 symbol can be retracted, a small winning combination is displayed. In the case of the correct answer operation, since it is explained using a large number of figures in the first embodiment, the explanation is incorporated.

FIG. 58 is a schematic view showing the pattern display state of the window portion in chronological order.

When the right push order bell 5-1 shown in FIG. 53 is internally elected by a random number lottery, the main control unit 100 simultaneously operates FUR2 + FUR5 and six inhibition small combination condition devices (8 different small types). The winning combination is won at the same time), and based on the operation order information (312), it is determined that the operation order of right → left → middle is the winning operation order. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes the stop calculation process based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information so that the stop control can be performed immediately regardless of when and when the player operates the stop button unit 10. Create a sliding frame number table. Further, the sliding frame number table is similarly created after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation.

FIG. 58 (A) shows a state in which all the drum portions 2 are rotating from top to bottom, as in FIG. 55 (A), and in this state, the player makes an incorrect answer operation by the DDT striking method. When the left stop button 10a in the order is first stopped (see FIG. 58 (A)), the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, 0 frames to 4 frames. The middle drum 2b is stopped within the range of the frame, and control is performed to draw the replay symbol common to the six obstructive small roles into the effective line (simply, the drum portion 2 is moved by the number of sliding frames, and FIG. 57 ( In B), only 4 frames are slipping). The player does not feel any discomfort in the state shown in FIG. 58 (B), and does not notice that the push order small role has been won. The main control unit 100 creates a slip frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10b or the right stop button 10c can be operated, and the player is right in the correct operation order. When the stop button 10c is second-stopped, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. Control is performed to draw the blank 1 symbol into the effective line (see FIG. 58 (C)). In the state of FIG. 58 (C), two small inhibitory roles are tempted. The main control unit 100 creates a slip 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 in the correct operation order is operated for the third stop, the main control unit 100 The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, but pulls both the watermelon 1 symbol and the watermelon 2 symbol. When it cannot be inserted, the bell symbol is stopped and a small winning combination is displayed (see FIG. 58 (D)). In the case of the correct answer operation, since it is explained using a large number of figures in the first embodiment, the explanation is incorporated.
