Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine, which can minimize the drawing pattern stop processing time period from a stop button operation by a player, thereby to arrange drawing patterns beautifully on an effective line.SOLUTION: A main control part 100 generates a slip coma number table in advance when a game is started and till a stop button part 10 becomes operational. In a step S340, it is decided whether or not a priority pattern is hit and at a winning position. If at the winning position, an addition point is added to a current score in a step S350, and the operation shifts to a step S360. It is decided whether or not the current score is higher than the highest point. If higher, the current score is rewritten into the highest point and the stop position is stored, and the operation shifts to a step S375. If all the stoppable positions are retrieved, the slip frame number from the virtual operation frame position is stored in the slip coma number table by the stop position stored in a step 380. If the slip coma number is generated at all the virtual operation coma positions in a step S390, the slip coma number table is completed.

Description

The present invention relates to a game machine such as a revolving game machine that uses a medal called a pachislot as a game medium, a slot machine that uses a pachinko ball called a pachilot (or parrot) as a game medium, and a symbol sequence stop. According to the control method, in more detail, in a variable display game in which a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols per frame is drawn is changed in a plurality of rows, a predetermined combination is won internally by a lottery and according to a predetermined combination that is won internally The present invention relates to a gaming machine or the like that stops a symbol sequence within a predetermined number of frames allowed to be moved based on selected stop control data and a stop operation of a stop switch provided corresponding to the plurality of symbol sequences. .

In the present invention, a control step or a control procedure for realizing the method includes semiconductor memory, LD (laser disk), HD (hard disk), FD (flexible disk), MD (mini disk), CD (compact disc), DVD (digital
It also relates to a program (for example, game software) itself recorded on an information storage medium such as a versatile disk or digital video disk) or a blue ray disk.

In recent years, games using a swivel type game machine called a pachislot machine have been actively performed in conventional pachinko halls and pachislot halls. There is also a spinning-type game machine called a pacilot (or parrot) that performs the above-described spinning-type game using a pachinko ball used in a pachinko machine (bullet-type game machine) as a game medium. In video game machines such as amusement facilities, and PCs and game machines of general households via the Internet, a substitute game called a token (ie, “game medium”) is used to make a revolving game. There are also many simulation games that simulate this.

For example, in the normal game of the above-mentioned spinning-reel type gaming machine, when a player inserts a predetermined number of game medals (game media or tokens) and then operates the start lever, the timing of the bonus game or the inside of a plurality of small roles A lottery (or “internal lottery”) is performed and a number of drums (often three or four drums) are rotated and displayed (drawn) on the drum A variable display game for changing a plurality of symbols (usually, the plurality of symbols are drawn on a reel tape and pasted on each drum) is started, and the player presses a stop button corresponding to each drum. Operate and win, when the winning symbols such as bells, watermelons and cherries are displayed on the active line in a predetermined combination. When the replay (replay) is activated with the pattern displayed on the active line, the game enters a replay state in which the next normal game can be performed without inserting a game medal (by inserting the previous number of games as it is). .

In particular, when a big bonus is won internally as a result of the internal lottery of a normal game, and a specific design (for example, a red 7 design or a blue 7 design) is stopped and displayed on the active line by a reel drum stop operation. The player can enter a big bonus game mode (BB game mode: an accessory continuous operation device), which is the most advantageous game mode for the player, and can acquire a large number of game medals at once. In addition, when the regular bonus is won and the bar symbols are arranged on the active line as a specific symbol, a regular bonus game (RB game) is executed, and although it does not reach the BB game, a corresponding game medal can be obtained. In any case, for a player, the establishment of these bonus games is the greatest concern in the revolving game. When a bonus game is won or released as a result of executing the internal lottery, a special symbol (7 symbols or bar symbols) is stored by setting a bonus flag in a data storage area such as RAM or RWM. Until these are complete, the flag is carried over to the subsequent variable display game.

By the way, the conventional swivel-type game machine (No. 4 machine) has a relatively high euphoria, and in order to suppress it,
The latest revolving type game machine called Unit 5 was enacted after the Act on the Regulation of Customs Business and the Optimization of Business (Last Revision: Law No. 55 of May 30, Heisei 15) Applied.

For example, in the No. 5 spinning cylinder game machine, the play rate (short term, medium term, long term) is regulated very finely by the rules, and in the big bonus game (BB game), the number of game medals obtained, etc. The game ends when the number exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 360 or 480). In the regular bonus game, although it does not reach the BB game, the game ends when about a few dozens are obtained. In other words, the upper limit on the number of payouts and the increase rate of medals in a single bonus game are limited to a low level due to the rule revision.

In addition, the bonus stock function for continuously releasing bonuses (continuous change), which should be said to be the biggest feature of the conventional swivel-type game machine (No. 4), is also prohibited by the same rule. The device and preference given to the machine itself are lost, and naturally, the gameability and gambling are extremely reduced, and the player (slotter) who has been a good customer is moving away.

However, even in such a strict regulatory situation, some deregulation has been made, and as a result of this, a new device was developed, and as a result, a slot machine equipped with an ART function (assist replay time function) was developed. . This ART function is a symbol stop operation procedure (the operation sequence of the stop switch and the operation timing for aiming the color of the bonus symbol) for winning the internal winning small role in the high probability replay state where replay is easy to win. ) With a liquid crystal display and voice, and is a function to assist (assist), and is currently the mainstream of the No. 5 slot machine. In the high-probability replay state, the replay probability is improved by the amount of lost, so naturally, if the AT function is activated at the same time, the handheld medal is not reduced.

JP 2010-136836 A JP 2010-035891 JP 2009-285097 A JP 2009-028304 A JP-A-2005-046458 JP 2003-135675 A JP 2003-180943 A JP 2005-288149 A JP2010-035658

By the way, the slot machine (cylinder-type game machine) rotates the reel drum on which the pattern is drawn by the stepping motor, and stops the reel drum at a predetermined position according to the internal winning state of the role and the operation of the stop button. It is necessary to arrange the symbols neatly so that the symbols are aligned on the effective line.

However, if the reel drum stop process is delayed, the symbols are shifted by that amount, and as a result, the symbols are not aligned on the effective line, so that the beauty of the appearance is lost. In addition, the player feels uncomfortable due to the shift in the design at the time of stopping, and loses the willingness to continue the game. In particular, when multiple types of small payouts activate the ART function for internal winning at the same time, complicated symbol stop processing according to the internal winning combination is required, and the reel drum stop processing tends to be delayed. Yes.

Basic example:
As an example of the gaming machine or the like according to the present invention, a rotating type gaming machine is taken up, and this example explains in detail the basic configuration and basic operation of the rotating type gaming machine.

FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a swivel type gaming machine, FIG. 2 is a right side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a design panel.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a swivel type gaming machine body generally referred to as a “pachi-slot machine”, which is roughly divided into a housing 1a containing a rotating drum (a drum portion 2 described later) and a front door 1b (particularly FIG. 2). reference).

The front door 1b is a main part that should be called the face of a swivel-type game machine, and a unique metallic feeling is required for the creation of a high-class feeling and design, and it is normal chrome plating, dark chrome plating, real hard By adding gold plating, metalizing (plating), satin tone (plating), etc. to the resin material, the appearance is gorgeous and profound.

A transparent panel 21 is fitted on the front surface of the front door 1b. A design panel 22 is attached to the front door 1b inside the transparent panel 21.

The design panel 22 is a display effect device 11 (or a device that performs various effects depending on the game situation) (or
The upper surface portion 22a to which the video display device is fixed with screws, the middle surface portion 22b in which the window portion 3 (design display window) is formed, and the lower surface portion 22c to which the light emitting display device (display LED block 4) is attached. A bottom surface portion 22d that is bent inwardly of the body 1a is formed, and a left side surface portion 22e and a right side surface portion 22f that connect the left and right of the bottom surface portion 22d form a substantially box-like shape to form a recessed space (particularly, FIG. 3). reference).

On the bottom surface portion 22d, there are three-dimensionally projected decorations 23 or three-dimensional electric driving objects 24 driven in accordance with the progress of the game (for example, in relation to an internal winning combination in order to give a sense of expectation). There are electric toys and doors that can be used for production, bumpers that move up and down, or ships that swing.
However, in order not to get bored with monotonous games, there are cases where fake and gaze effects that are unrelated to the internal winning role are performed. ) Is provided.

The front door 1b and the design panel 22 are formed by integrally molding a resin material with a mold. Generally, the molding method includes injection molding, extrusion molding, foam molding, vacuum molding, and the like, and the resin material is ABS. Various general-purpose resins such as these are used.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a drum portion (also referred to as a “reel drum”) built in the housing 1a, and includes three drums, a left drum 2a, a middle drum 2b, and a right drum 2c. Inside each of the drums, a rotating part symbol display LED (not shown) is provided, which emits light (turns on and blinks) or turns off according to various effects. In other words, each drum is a symbol row that displays a plurality of symbols in a row from top to bottom. In this embodiment, a variable display game for changing three symbol rows (plural rows) is started. ing. It should be noted that, in the case where symbols are displayed using a liquid crystal display device or the like instead of each drum, the game is a variable display game in which a symbol row on which a plurality of symbols are drawn is varied.

On these three drums, the number 7, which is a bonus pattern, and 21 frames, such as bells, cherries, plums, and watermelons, are drawn at regular intervals (see Fig. 8) and rotate independently. By doing so, the variable display game is started. When a stop button 10 described later is operated to stop, symbols within a maximum of 5 frames from the time of operation are moved and displayed at predetermined positions.
The bite-pressed symbol is the first frame, and the maximum number of sliding frames is 4. In other words, the swing-type gaming machine is a variable display game in which a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols per frame is drawn is changed in a plurality of rows, and a predetermined combination is won internally by lottery and according to a predetermined combination that is won internally. Based on the selected stop control data and a stop operation of a stop switch provided corresponding to a plurality of symbol sequences, it can be said to be a gaming machine that stops symbol sequences within a predetermined number of frames allowed to move symbols. . FIG. 25 illustrates a case where the number of symbols is 20 frames.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a control circuit system of a spinning cylinder type gaming machine.

The control circuit system is roughly divided into a main block (main board: a part not enclosed by a broken line) and a sub block (sub board: a part enclosed by a broken line), while the main block performs control related to a game result. The sub-block is responsible for control related to various effects that attract the player's interest and interest, such as game progress and announcement / display of the internal lottery result. Note that the sub-block notifies the stop operation procedure (the operation order and operation timing of the stop button unit 10) of avoiding the small role winning or the falling replay when the ART is activated.

Reference numeral 100 denotes a main control unit, which is an integrated one-chip microcomputer (for example, LE4280B-PA-G1 manufactured by EL Tech Co.) equipped with a microprocessor with a built-in CPU. ROM 101 for storing a control program describing a control procedure, and RAM 102 (RWM: also referred to as rewritable memory, which is formed with a counter, a register, etc. and temporarily stores information necessary for control. Are also included). In particular, the ROM 101 stores a plurality of stop control data (slip number data, score data, selection information data, control data, and the like) corresponding to a predetermined winning combination. Further, as will be described later, even if the power switch 28c is turned off or the power cord is disconnected, the RAM 102 stores all control data stored by the RAM backup power supply that is always supplied via the power connector. Retained,
When the power connector itself is removed, the power is not supplied, so the control data is erased (all cleared or reset to 0) or meaningless information.

The main control unit 100 has a start SW via an I / 0 port (not shown) and a data bus.
Sensor 110 (start switch sensor 110), stop button sensor 120, medal detection sensor 130, bet button sensor 140, step setting unit 150, and stop setting unit 1
80 is connected, and the main control unit 100 is configured to be able to detect input signals from these.

The main control unit 100 is connected to the drum unit 2, the medal payout device 18 and the display LED block 4 via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus.
Is configured to be able to control each of these devices by transmitting and receiving input / output signals.

The main control unit 100 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 by the player. A lottery is performed, and the drum section 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c) is a three-row (multiple-row) symbol row on which a plurality of (usually 20 or 21) symbols are drawn. The symbol variation display game is started by rotating. For example, in the random lottery, when any of the paying small roles such as bell, cherry, watermelon or plum is won internally, and the player performs the stop operation of the stop button unit 10, the main control unit 100 follows the operation order. The drum unit 2 is sequentially stopped at a predetermined position. As a result, if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on any of the five active lines of the window portion 3, a winning is achieved. However, the number of active lines is not limited to five, but changes according to the number of inserted medals, or increases / decreases as appropriate according to design specifications and gaming conditions.

For example, assuming that the number of game media payouts specified according to the type of winning is 1 bell, 2 cherries, 5 watermelons and 8 plums, only the bell symbol is displayed side by side on the second line. Then, the main control unit 100 pays out one piece as a bell prize. If the specified number of throws is three, even if the bell wins, the deduction will be minus two. Therefore, in the state where the bonus combination and the small combination are simultaneously elected internally, priority is given to the small combination symbol in the internal election. Even if it is stopped on the active line, medals can be consumed. On the other hand, if the bell symbol is displayed side by side on the second line and the plum symbol is displayed on the third line, the main control unit 100 pays out a total of nine bells for one winning bell and eight plums. 6 plus dividends.

The main control unit 100 is connected to the sub control unit 16 via an I / 0 port (not shown) or a data bus.
0 is connected, and control data (for example, coin insertion data, lottery results and winning status data, step setting value data, data indicating the switch operation state of the step setting unit 150, etc.) necessary for various controls of the sub-blocks are included. Output to the sub-control unit 160.

Similar to the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 is an integrated one-chip microcomputer equipped with a microprocessor with a built-in CPU, and a ROM 161 that stores a control program describing the control procedure of the entire sub-block; A counter, a timer, a register, and the like are formed, and a RAM 162 that temporarily stores information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100 is provided. This ROM 161 stores a plurality of BGM (Background Music) data. In particular, during the bonus game, a specially arranged BGM is displayed according to the production scene in order to enhance the player's feelings. Selected and played as appropriate.

The sub-control unit 160 includes a display effect device 11, a speaker unit 12, a gaming state display LED unit 13, an input SW unit 25 (input switch unit 2) via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus.
5) The time measuring unit 26, the operation direction sensor 111, the special button sensor 112, and the door abnormality signal output device 113 are connected, and the sub-control unit 160 receives input signals from these devices and receives necessary data and signals. Can be output to perform various controls.

The sub-control unit 160, based on the inserted number data, the paid-out number data, and the variable display game number data in the control data transmitted from the main control unit 100, the difference display number after initialization and the variable display game digested after the bonus The number of times is counted. When the counted difference number or number of times reaches a predetermined number, an AT stock lottery or a selection game is activated. At this time, the sub-control unit 160
The display effect device 11 displays “Do you want to start the selected game? If you want to start, please hit the special button repeatedly.”, And the special button 14 blinks.

This AT stock lottery draws the number of stocks in the range of 0 to 127, for example,
While 0 is a loss, 1 to 127 are winning. If 127 wins, it will be at least 127
Although the consecutive Chang will be decided, since the AT stock lottery is executed even when the AT is stocked, it can be further added and stored up to MAX10000. However, these are merely examples based on design specifications, and are not limited to these numerical values.

Further, the sub-control unit 160 confirms whether or not to execute the selected game, and when the player hits the special button repeatedly, it receives a pulse signal corresponding to the number of repeated hits, and the number of pulses is a predetermined number of 8 times or more. When the number is reached, the selected game lottery is performed and a winning number (for example, “0”)
Or “1”). Then, when the selected game is activated, “○
Or, “X” or “Left or Right” is displayed in correspondence with the left stop button 10a and the right stop button 10c, respectively, to prompt the player to perform a selection operation. For example, when “0” is won in the selected game lottery result, if the player operates the left stop button 10a and selects the corresponding “O” or “Left”, the selected game is won. Then, when the sub-control unit 160 determines that the winning is made, in the subsequent variable display game, until the number of game media increases according to the inserted number, the difference number, or the number of variable display games, or the AT stock lottery (1 to 127). )) For the number of times won
The AT function (function of notifying auxiliary information by the notification means) is activated.

On the other hand, if the player operates the right stop button 10c and selects the corresponding “X” or “Right”, the selected game is lost. If the sub-control unit 160 determines that it is a loss, the sub-control unit 160 initializes the difference number or the number of variable display games without activating the AT function, and returns to the start. As a result, even if the player is in a humiliated state, if he / she wins in the selected game, he / she can recover more than he has ever lost, or can dare to change, and can expect a one-time reversal. In the above, the two choices are doubled by winning, but if there are five choices, it is possible to return five times when winning, and if the player can select the magnification, the preference is further increased. Increase.

In response to the start operation of the start lever 9, the sub-control unit 160 executes random number lottery internally, and receives a lottery, replay, small game, or lose result notification, and the lottery result is sent to the player. Display notification device 11, speaker unit 12, gaming state display LED unit 13.
An effect lottery is performed to determine whether or not to perform an effect. When the sub-control unit 160 wins the production lottery, the RO
From the plurality of effect videos stored in M161, the effect image to be displayed is selected and output to the display effect device 11.

In particular, as will be described later, the sub-control unit 160 has an AT stock, and when a push order small combination (a plurality of first small combinations and a plurality of push order prescribed small combinations) is won internally, Assist information (auxiliary information) for aligning the first small role symbol (for example, bell symbol) being selected on the active line is displayed on the display effect device 11. As a result, the player can easily win the first small role.

Here, returning to FIG. 5, the operation direction sensor 111 outputs a direction signal corresponding to the up / down / left / right directions in which the start lever 9 is operated, and the sub-control unit 160 receives the direction signal, and responds to the direction signal. Various video effects, winning notifications, etc. are displayed on the display effect device 11, and the speaker unit 12.
Sound effects.

The special button sensor 112 is turned on when the special button 14 is operated (
For example, when the HIGH signal is released, an OFF signal (for example, a LOW signal) is output, and the sub-control unit 160 receives the ON signal at the timing of receiving the ON signal or the number of pulses received (referred to as continuous hitting). In response, various games and video effects, winning notifications, and the like are displayed on the display effect device 11. Furthermore, sound effects such as bomb dropping and machine gun operation are generated from the speaker unit 12.

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, the door abnormal signal output device 113 is turned on / off according to the opening / closing of the front door 1b.
While outputting a signal, when the main power supply is OFF, it is driven by the power supplied from the secondary power supply (backup battery), detects and stores the abnormal opening / closing of the front door 1b when the main power supply is cut off,
Thereafter, even when the main power supply is turned on, the sub-control unit 160 is notified of abnormal opening and closing when the main power supply 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 appears to have no abnormality, so that the manager of the game hall recognizes the abnormal situation. Appropriate measures such as checking and inspection of gaming machines can be taken.

The medal detection sensor 130 includes a medal passage sensor and a proximity sensor (not shown).
The number of pulse signals corresponding to the number of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 5 is output. Main control unit 1
00 receives this pulse signal, and executes counter logic processing at the rise and fall of the pulse signal, so that the number of inserted LEDs 4a or the medal reserve number display LED 4b in the display LED block 4 corresponds to the number of pulses. Control to display the increased number of inserted sheets or credits.

The bet button detection sensor 140 includes a 1 bet button detection sensor 140a that outputs a pulse signal in response to an operation of the 1 bet button 7, 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
The number display of the input number LED 4a is controlled so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signal.

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 starts a variable display game by performing random number lottery or the like upon reception of the start signal, and outputs a drive pulse signal to the drum unit 2. ing. The game performed by operating the start lever 9 once is a variable display game of one game, and the player aims to increase the medal by acquiring a bonus game (big bonus or regular bonus). Repeat the game. Note that the bonus game means, for example, a first-type special combination (RB), a first-type special combination continuous operation, or a second-type special combination continuous operation.

The main control unit 100 then stops the stop buttons 10a, 10b and 10c during the variable display game.
Is operated, the rotation of the rotating drum is stopped, and a predetermined winning combination is established (the symbol of each rotating drum is displayed in a predetermined combination) and a medal is paid out. In this case, the number of payouts is displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and this is displayed on the medal stored number display LED 4b in addition to the number of credits. When the payout operation is performed with the settlement button 6 or when the number of credits exceeds, for example, the maximum number of 50, the main control unit 100 controls the medal payout device 18 so that the required number of medals can be obtained as medals. It is discharged from the payout opening 16 and accumulated in the tray 15.

Further, the main control unit 100 outputs control data (event data) related to internal winning etc. to the sub-control unit 160 when a replay or small role, especially a bonus, is won internally. And
Upon receiving control data from the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 controls lighting of the gaming state display LED unit 13, controls a voice synthesis LSI (not shown) for generating sound effects from the speaker unit 12, and Various presentation operations such as display control of characters and background video in the display screen of the display presentation apparatus 11 are performed.

The drum unit 2 includes step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c for controlling 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. Step motors 30a, 30b and 30c are driven,
If the drive pulse signal is continuously supplied to the three phases at the same time, a suction force is generated to stop suddenly.

The step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c are four-phase 1-2 excitation methods, have a step number of 252 steps / rotation (1.43 degrees / step), and just when the main control unit 100 inputs 504 pulses of the drive pulse signal. Rotate once. The main control unit 100 returns one pulse of each index signal (reference signal or reference position signal) from each of the cylinder sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c formed of photo interrupters provided for each drum. The position of can be accurately grasped. That is, the resolution by one input pulse is 0.71.
4 (degrees / pulse). When the resolution is further increased, the rotational position can be grasped in detail by managing the time from the input pulse to the next input pulse and the rotational speed.

  FIG. 7 is a configuration block diagram of the drum unit.

Each rotation shaft of the step motors 30a (not shown), 30b (not shown) and 30c includes
The center portions of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, which are thick disk-shaped rotating bodies, are connected to each other, and rotate in the direction of the arrow shown (that is, from the top to the bottom). In addition, a left swirl band 32a, a middle swirl band 32b, and a right swirl band 32c in which a plurality of types of frames are drawn at equal intervals are attached to the outer peripheral portion of each drum. If the same symbol (predetermined predetermined symbol) is displayed on the window 3 along the active line in the game, it is established (winning or operating). In addition, the star mark, + mark, plum mark (black circle mark) and triangle mark in the figure are shown for convenience, and are different from the actual ones. 7 symbols, bar symbol, bell symbol, watermelon symbol and cherry A symbol is generally used. In general, the rotator belt is called a reel tape.

For each of the stepping motors 30a, 30b and 30c, the cylinder sensors 31a, 3
1b and 31c (not shown) are provided, and an index signal is returned by one pulse from each cylinder sensor every rotation of the step motor. The main control unit 100
The symbol number and the rotation angle (24 divisions / symbol) at the reference position (for example, the lowest position of the window 3) are always grasped by this index signal and the number of output drive pulse signals.

  FIG. 8 is a drum symbol arrangement table.

In each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a swirl belt (not shown) on which a left drum symbol, a middle drum symbol, and a right drum symbol are drawn so as to make a round in the outer periphery of each drum It is attached to.

As shown in the illustration, each swirl belt has 21 differently arranged symbols,
The big bonus symbols “Red 7” and “Blue 7” that act as bonuses, the various small role winning symbols cherry, watermelon, bell, and replays that act as replays are depicted. It should be noted that the discarded symbols do not constitute any role even when stopped on the active line, and for example, “N” is printed in a light gray circle in order to make the player inconspicuous.

FIG. 9 is a structural block diagram of the drum unit, and FIGS. 9A and 9B show the right drum 2c.
Shows the state in which the pull-in control is performed in time series.

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

For example, in the so-called reach state in which the symbols “7, 7” are aligned on the effective line diagonally to the lower right of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b where the big bonus combination has been won internally, 4 frames above this effective line When the symbol “7” is located within (that is, within five frames including the symbol on the active line), when the right stop button 10c is stopped (see FIG. 9A),
The main control unit 100 performs lead-in control for forcibly drawing the symbol “7” onto the active line and aligning it so as to be a combination of “7, 7, 7” (see FIG. 9B).

On the other hand, even if one of the winning combinations is won internally by lottery, the player is not in an advantageous state unless a predetermined symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the active line. For example, a big bonus game (BB game) does not operate unless it is displayed as shown in FIG. This pull-in control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on the symbols of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. The main control unit 100 performs stop control with reference to a stop table that defines the stop position of each drum in accordance with a random number lottery situation (internal winning or loss).

In the example of FIG. 9, in the reach state, the symbol “7” of the right drum 2 c is just 4 frames above and is lined up on the effective line as a target of the pull-in control. However, this pull-in control is 4
It is not limited to frames, and the number of frames to be drawn can be increased or decreased by software control so as to adapt to design specifications or laws and regulations. In addition, when the random number lottery result is a win in the general game, the sub-control unit 160 assists information (operation sequence and operation order) for stopping the rotation of the rotary drum so that the symbols are displayed in a predetermined combination by the pull-in control. Assist information such as operation timing (AT) is notified.

FIG. 10 is a configuration block diagram of the drum unit, and FIGS. 10A and 10B show the state in which the right drum 2c is controlled to avoid (or kick control) in time series.

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

For example, the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2 that are stopped because the big bonus combination is not won internally
In the reach state in which the symbols “7, 7” are aligned on the active line diagonally to the right of b, the player places the symbol “7” within one frame from the effective line as a result of “pushing”. When the stop button 10c is operated (for example, it is called “bitter press”. FIG. 10A).
Reference), the main control unit 100, the symbol “7” so that “7, 7, 7” is not aligned on the effective line.
Is moved to the next position and forced avoidance control is performed (see FIG. 10B). This avoidance control is performed not only for the right drum 2c but also for any of the symbols of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b, and the avoidance control is performed so that an unsuccessful small role symbol does not win. It is like that. These pull-in control and avoidance control are performed by the main control unit 100 referring to the stop table according to the internal winning situation.

FIG. 11 is a timing chart showing the relationship among the index signal, symbol position data (frame data), drive pulse signal, and stop button sensor signal.

FIG. 11A shows index signals output from the respective drum sensors 31a, 31b and 31c, and the main control is performed so that T1 becomes constant at 0.751 seconds (that is, 79.9 revolutions / minute). Controlled by the unit 100.

FIG. 11B shows the symbol position data of the rotating drum, and FIG. 11C shows the drive pulse signal.

Symbol position data is generated by dividing the drive pulse signal, and the drive pulse signal is 2
Data is decremented by 1 every 4 pulses. That is, with reference to the index signal, the symbol position data is “21” in the range of the driving pulse signal from 1 pulse to 24 pulses, the symbol position data is “20” in the range of the driving pulse signal from 25 pulses to 48 pulses, The drive pulse signal is 49
Symbol position data is “19” in the range of pulse to 72 pulses, symbol position data is “1” in the range of the drive pulse signal from 481 pulses to 504 pulses, and 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 prescribed pattern that is input to the motor coil in order to rotate the rotating drum in a certain direction, and there are eight pattern numbers of patterns 0 to 7 as can be seen from the figure. When pattern numbers 0 to 7 are repeatedly applied to the motor coils 1 to 4 as this drive pulse signal three times (that is, 24 pulses are input), the rotating drum rotates from top to bottom by one pattern (one 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 the rotary drum by one frame, and pattern numbers 0 to 7 are the lower 3
Bit phase data, and the drive pulse corresponding to the pattern number is 1 to 4 motor coils
Actually join the phase. 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. 11D 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 pattern number “2”) at the rising edge of the stop button sensor signal.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a included in the drum portion.

As shown in FIG. 12A, the left drum 2a rotates in the direction of the arrow (from the top to the bottom), and the cherry pattern is placed on any one of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the three windows 3 indicated by solid lines. When is stopped, a prize is awarded and a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. FIG. 12A shows the window 3.
The state where the cherry symbol has stopped is shown in the upper row.

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

FIG. 12 (B) shows the possible range of pull-in control. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position on the four frames from the position where the cherry symbol is just the upper stage, the main control unit 100
The cherry symbol is stopped at the upper part of the window 3 (assuming that the bita symbol is at the upper position). In addition,
Actually, it takes about 36 ms to stop, so it is positioned higher by that amount, but for convenience of explanation, it is written in this way. In addition, since it is specified that the stop operation is performed within 190 ms from the stop operation, there is a case where four frames are not slipped.

On the other hand, FIGS. 12 (C) and 12 (D) show the range in which avoidance control or the like is performed, and the main control unit 100 has the cherry symbol 4 from the upper position even when the upper cherry is won.
When the stop button 10a is operated at a position above the frame (that is, a position higher than 4 in FIG. 12A) or a position slightly past the upper position, the position of the upper position or the lower position is increased. Stop the cherry symbol down and make it lose. That is, since the middle cherry (cherry 2) or the lower cherry (cherry 3) is not won, the cherry symbol must be forcibly stopped outside the window 3.

  FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the left drum 2a, the window 3 and the symbol position data.

As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the cherry symbols on the left drum 2a are frame number 8 and frame number 19 (see FIG. 8). When the lowermost position of the unit 3 is used as a measurement reference, the main control unit 100 reads the symbol position data “15” 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 the position data “5” and the input pulse phase data “0” to the symbol position data “1” and the input pulse phase data “23”, the cherry symbol is stopped at the upper stage and a winning is made. . In other words, even if the stop button 10a is appropriately operated, not only winning with a probability of 10/21, but if a winner is notified, an expert can push forward and win with a probability close to 100%. .

  FIG. 14 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on an effective line corresponding to the number of inserted game medals. For example, when three game medals are inserted and the two-paid-out cherry pattern of the left drum 2a is displayed on the window 3, if the upper row is four (2 × 2 lines: the second line and the second line) 4 lines), 2 if middle
If there are two sheets (2 sheets × 1 line: 1st line) and the lower stage, 4 game medals (2 sheets × 2 lines: 3rd line and 5th line) are paid out. However, this effective line is a general one that has been conventionally employed, and there are many irregular lines as described later.

In addition, when the eight-paid-out bell symbols are displayed on the active line of the window portion 3, if only the middle stage is displayed, it should be 8 sheets (8 sheets × 1 line: the first line) and the upper stage and diagonally down to the right. For example, 15 game medals are paid out (8 sheets × 2 lines but MAX 15 sheets: second line and fourth line). In other words, game media with the number of payouts defined according to the type of winning is paid out in total for the winning amount, but the maximum payout at one time is 15.

  FIG. 15 is a configuration block diagram of the display effect device.

The display effect device 11 receives an effect command from the sub-control unit 160 and receives the effect command.
a, a display effect control unit 11b (including a ROM 11c and a RAM 11d), and a display panel 11e such as an LCD, an organic EL, or an LED. In this case, the display effect control unit 1
Although the ROM 11c is separately provided in 1b, there is no problem even if all the video data is stored in the ROM 161. Therefore, the ROM 11c may be considered as a part of the ROM 161.

FIG. 16 is an effect pattern table, which associates the relationship between effect commands and effect pattern data stored in the ROM.

The production command consists of 1-byte mode data and 1-byte event data.
Production pattern data that is production content (mainly moving images but also still images) are stored in association with each other.

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

When receiving the effect command, the display effect control unit 11b reads the effect pattern data corresponding to the effect command from the ROM 11c, expands the data in the RAM 11d, and displays the display panel 1.
By transmitting to 1e, an effect image corresponding to the effect command is displayed on the display screen.

  17 to 19 are schematic diagrams of effect screens displayed by the display effect device.

For example, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ Z0 $ 00) as an effect command, for example, the display panel 11e displays the “daytime effect pattern of the low-probability stage mainly indicating a state where there is no AT stock or a state where AT is difficult to win. “0” is displayed (see FIG. 17A). On the other hand, the sub-control unit 1
When 60 transmits ($ Y0 $ 00) as a production command, the display panel 11e displays “night production pattern 0” of a high-probability stage suggesting a state where there is an AT stock or a high-probability state in which the AT is likely to win. (See FIG. 17B). Therefore, the player is anxious to display a “night stage” that mainly suggests a high probability state during the game. However, it is also possible to display a “night stage” when there is no AT stock or a non-high probability state, or display a “day stage” when there is a reverse AT stock or a high probability state. Yes, this increases the taste.

Further, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ S0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e displays “Dracula Castle that shines in a slightly different color” that is an image corresponding to “castle effect pattern 0”. It is designed to be displayed over the blue sky background screen (see FIG. 17A) or over the moonlight night background screen (see FIG. 17B). Red or blue bats pop out, and a notification image corresponding to the established combination (small combination or replay) is displayed (see FIG. 17C).

When the effect of FIG. 17 (B) is developed in multiple stages, it is a sign effect (a fierce hot effect) where there is an AT stock and the expectation of AT release is great. For example, Fig. 18 (A) shows "Dracula Castle".
Is enlarged and the iron gate is open. And the door further expanded (Fig. 18 (B)
(See FIG. 18C), and the interior of the dazzling “Dracula Castle” is displayed (see FIG. 18D). After that, it develops into a battle between the protagonist and the count of vampires Dracula. If the protagonist wins, there is AT stock, AT release is confirmed, and bonus release is confirmed during bonus internal election.

From the state where the normal screen of the night of FIG. 19A (same as FIG. 17B) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the right, the cemetery is expanded, and the character butler screams “Olya”. Along with the sound effect of “Tiroro Lolone”, the main character appears (see FIG. 19 (B)) from the grave hole in the center of the screen, and “BONU” means “big hit”.
By displaying the letter “S” (see FIG. 19C), it may be a very hot premiere effect. All of these display effects are also executed by the sub-control unit 160 outputting an effect command according to the program.

  FIG. 20 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 swivel type gaming machine of the present invention, random numbers are continuously generated by the random number generation unit 103 built in the main control unit 100. As the random number value, all values of 0 to 65535 (m7) are periodically generated at random once in one cycle. FIG. 20A is a lottery table used in a normal state (non-RT state). When the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery in accordance with the timing at which the start lever 9 is operated, Big bonus (in the m1 range)
BB) wins. That is, the internal lottery is to pick up (extract) one random number value at the time of start operation and to determine the winning combination by comparing with a lottery table.

Similarly, a regular bonus (RB) with a random value in the range of m1 + 1 to m2, and a random value of m2.
Cherry in the range of +1 to m3, watermelon in the range of m3 + 1 to m4, random value of m4 +
While the replay is won in the range of m5 + 1 to m6 with bell and random number in the range of 1 to m5,
Random values are lost in the range of m6 + 1 to m7.

Normally, the numerical values of m1 to m7 are appropriately set in consideration of laws and regulations (wind management law) and game characteristics, but the BB winning probability is about 1/200 and the RB winning probability is 1/400. "
Degree, cherry and watermelon win probability is about 1/50, bell win probability is 1/6
The degree and the replay winning probability are 1 / 7.3.

On the other hand, FIG. 20B is a lottery table used in the high probability replaying state (RT state).
In the replay time, the winning range for replay is widened by α, while the lost range is narrowed by α, so that the winning probability for replay is about “½”. This
While the probability of winning a replay corresponding to a three-piece payout is greatly increased, the probability of being lost is decreased, and as a result, the expected payout value of game medals is significantly improved or increased during 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 the α value.

Although a detailed drawing of the lottery table is omitted, there are six lottery tables 1, lottery tables 2... Lottery table 6 corresponding to the stage 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 and the number of inserted medals set by the stage setting unit 150, and executes a bonus game and internal lottery of a plurality of small roles in a variable display game. Note that the expected value for winning the bonus game in the internal lottery is generally the lottery table 1 <the lottery table 2 <... <The lottery table 6, so the player pursues the high setting table. However, if it is a three-sheet machine, a lottery table with one medal is not necessary.

  FIG. 21 is a payout table showing the relationship between the combination of symbols and the number of acquired medals.

BB (Big Bonus) is the title when the BB symbol of “Red 7” is aligned on the active line, and when it is aligned, the number of medals won is 0, and the Big Bonus with flag 1 set in the corresponding flag area The game enters the game (BB game: operation of the accessory continuous operation device) and ends with the payout of 360 sheets.

RB (Regular Bonus) is the title when the RB symbol of “Blue 7” is aligned on the active line, and when it is aligned, the number of medals won is 0, and the regular bonus is set with flag 1 in the corresponding flag area Enter the game (RB game: operation of the continuous action device), 120
It ends by paying out the sheets. Note that these accessory continuous action devices may be either a first-type special accessory or a second-type special accessory, and are appropriately selected according to design specifications.

If the cherry symbol stops on the active line of the left drum, 1 per active line
A medal is obtained. For example, if the effective line is the display determination diagram of FIG. 14, the number is one if the middle part of the left drum is stopped, but if it is the upper stage or the lower stage, there are two effective lines, and the payout is two sheets in total.

  When the watermelon symbols are aligned on the active line, 5 medals are obtained.

  When the bell symbols are aligned on the active line, 8 medals are obtained.

When the replay symbols are aligned on the active line, a replay that does not earn medals is activated,
The flag 1 is set in the flag area, and a replay operation is performed by the player's operation of the start lever 9 to lower the flag (that is, 0). That is, the next game can be played without inserting medals.

Next, the operation of the swivel type gaming machine configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to a flowchart and the like.

First, in a state in which the spinning machine is shipped from the factory, as a default, the warning mode is “ON”, the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) is “OFF”, and the step setting value is the lowest “1”. Is set.

When the game hall side opens the front door of the swivel type gaming machine body 1 and turns on the power switch 28c before the player plays, the main control unit 100 is supplied with power to each circuit block.
In step S100, which will be described later, initial check (hardware abnormality check, etc.) and initial setting (for example, the stop setting flag “1”, the step setting value “1” stored in the ROM 101 and the initial value of the control data are written in the RAM 102). The sub-control unit 160 sets the warning mode to “ON”, and when the front door 1b is closed, the variable display game can be played.

Even if the game hall side opens the front door 1b again and operates the input SW unit 25 (operation for simultaneously pressing the initialization switch and the volume switch) in this game-enabled state, the sub-control unit 160
Has not received control data indicating the stage setting mode of the payout rate from the main control unit 100, so the warning mode is changed from “on state” to another state (“off state” or “timer state”). do not do. Therefore, there is a specific effect that Goto and the like cannot easily change the warning mode. The stop setting flag “1” corresponds to “on” for the stop setting unit 180 and “off” for “0”.

Then, it is assumed that the game hall side is going to change the setting of the payout rate for a grand opening, a new store opening, or an event in this setting state.

  FIG. 22 is a flow chart showing the main operation processing procedure of the spinning cylinder type game machine.

An employee of the game hall opens the front door of the swing type gaming machine body 1 to turn off the power switch 28c, inserts the setting change key into the setting key switch 28a and turns it to the right to turn it on (FIG. 4). When the power switch 28c is turned on again, 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 performs step In S110, the setting key switch 28a is turned on.
It is determined whether or not it is in a state.

If the setting key switch 28a is not in the ON state, the main control unit 100 performs step S13.
On the other hand, if it is ON, if it is in the ON state, a setting change subroutine is called in step S120 (shift to setting change mode).

In the setting change mode of step S120, before the game hall side causes the player to play, the stage setting value “6” of the payout rate is input, the start lever 9 is hit once to confirm the setting value,
When the setting key switch 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 perform display setting of the initial screen in step S100, the sub-control unit 160, for example, produces ($
Y0 $ 01) is transmitted to the display effect device 11. As a result, on the display panel 11e, “Night effect pattern 1” composed of a screen of the full moon, Dracula Castle and the graveyard is displayed as a start screen (not shown).

When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S130 after changing the stage setting value, the main control unit 100 checks for occurrence of an abnormality such as a door open, a hopper error, or a selector error. If there is an abnormality, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S140 and again after the abnormality processing. If the process returns to step S100 and there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S150. In particular, the main control unit 100 determines that the data of the stage setting value stored in the work RAM area is 0 to 5 (medal payout number display LED as an abnormality check).
Check that the step set values displayed in 4c are within the range of 1 to 6, respectively.
If the step set value is not within the predetermined range, a warning (character display of “EE” error, light emission and warning sound) is generated by the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13, and error processing ( An abnormal process in step S140) is performed.

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 a quantity of game medals necessary for the game. In step S160, on the other hand, if not inserted, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping each step until a medal insertion operation is performed.

When the main controller 100 proceeds to step S160, the main controller 100 checks whether or not the player has started the variable display game by operating the start lever.
On the other hand, if not started, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping each step until a start operation is performed.

In step S170, the main control unit 100 executes the main process of the variable display game, performs a random number lottery in accordance with the reception timing of the start signal, and picks up (extracts) the random number value and the current internal state (RT or non-RT). The lottery table is compared to determine whether or not an internal winning is made (see the description of FIG. 20).

The main control unit 100 transmits a lottery result command and a game start signal to the sub control unit 160, and simultaneously rotates the drum unit 2 to display a plurality of numbers displayed on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c. The change display game for changing the symbols at a predetermined speed is started.

As described in FIGS. 9 and 10, the main control unit 100 operates the left stop button 10 a, the middle stop button 10 b, or the right stop button 10 c of the stop button unit 10 to each symbol row (rotating belt). Is stopped, pull-in control for aligning the symbols corresponding to the internal winning combination on the active line, and conversely, avoidance control for not aligning the symbols. The sub-control unit 160 is also connected to the main control unit 100.
When the lottery result command and the game start signal are received from the player, an effect lottery is performed to determine whether or not to display effects on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. , Notify the player of the result of lottery of replay or lose.

The main control unit 100 determines that a winning combination is established if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on the active line of the window 3 in each variation display game of the general game, and a game medal is awarded according to the payout table shown in FIG. It pays out from the payout device 18 and is discharged from the medal payout opening 16.

Note that in the big bonus game (BB game) in which three red 7s are arranged, the BB game mode is ended when the accessory continuous operation device operates and the acquired number exceeds 360. In addition, in the regular bonus game (RB game) in which three blue 7s are arranged, the RB game mode is ended when the accessory continuous operation device operates and the acquired number exceeds 120.

And the main control part 100 will return to step S130, and will repeat a process sequentially, after complete | finishing the game main process of step S170.

  FIG. 23 is a drum symbol arrangement table.

In each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a swirl belt (not shown) on which a left drum symbol, a middle drum symbol, and a right drum symbol are drawn so as to make a round in the outer periphery of each drum It is attached to.

Each swirl belt has 20 different symbols on it, and the bonus red symbols “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, “Black Bar”, various small role symbols “Bell”, “Watermelon”, “Cherry”, “Plum (Red)”, “Plum (Blue)”, “Plum (White)” and a replay in which replay is activated are depicted.

  FIG. 24 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the effective line of the window unit 3 according to the number of game medals inserted.

FIG. 24 (B) is an effective line when a prescribed number of game medals are inserted (only for three general games: during non-actual operation), in order of left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c. First
Three lines (the middle, middle, middle: center horizontal line), the second line (upper, upper, upper: upper horizontal line), and the third line (lower, middle, upper: upper right) are effective.

FIG. 24C shows an effective line when a prescribed number of game medals are inserted (in the BB) or in a prescribed number of 3 (in the RB) during the bonus game, and the second line and the fourth line ( (Lower, lower, lower: lower horizontal line) are effective.

FIG. 25 is a payout table when the accessory is not activated (during a normal game), FIG. 26 is a payout table for the push order prescribed small role, and FIG. 27 is a payout table when the accessory is continuously operated (during a bonus game).

When all three drums are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on an effective line (see FIG. 24) corresponding to the number of inserted game medals.

(1) First bonus (BB1): left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (red 7),
When (red 7) stops on the right drum 2c along any one of the three active lines, the number of acquired games is 0 and the first bonus game is awarded thereafter. This first bonus ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/400, the specified number of inserted bonus games exceeds two, and the number of payouts exceeds 360. When the first bonus is won internally by lottery and the first bonus flag is set, the first bonus can be established. It is rare that only the first bonus is won alone, and in most cases, watermelon (FR1: fruit 1) or cherry (CH), or a weak chance (FR3) or strong chance ( FR4) is won at the same time, so when these are displayed, the player feels extremely hot.

(2) Second bonus (BB2): left drum 2a (blue 7), middle drum 2b (blue 7),
When (blue 7) stops on any of the three active lines on the right drum 2c, the number of acquired games is 0 and the second bonus game is awarded thereafter. This second bonus ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/400, the prescribed number of inserted bonus games is two, and the number of payouts exceeds 260. When the first bonus is won internally by lottery and the second bonus flag is set, the second bonus can be established. It is rare that only the second bonus is elected alone, and in most cases, watermelon (FR1: fruit 1) or cherry (CH) or a rare chance (FR3) or strong chance ( FR4) is won at the same time, so when these are displayed, the player feels extremely hot.

(3) Third bonus (RB): The left drum 2a (red 7), the middle drum 2b (red 7), and the right drum 2c (black bar) are aligned on any of the three active lines. Then, the number of acquired games is 0, and a third bonus game is awarded thereafter. This third bonus ends when, for example, the winning probability is 1/400, the specified number of inserted third bonus games exceeds 3, and the number of payouts exceeds 60. When the third bonus is won internally by the lottery and the third bonus flag is set, the third bonus can be established. It is rare that only the third bonus is elected alone, and in most cases, watermelon (FR1: fruit 1) or cherry (CH), or a weak chance (FR3) or strong chance ( FR4) is won at the same time, so when these are displayed, the player feels extremely hot.

(4) Watermelon (FR1: AT lottery combination): This is the name of the combination when the watermelon symbols are aligned on the active line, and the number acquired is four. FR1 (fruit 1) when watermelon wins in the lottery
One of the condition devices is activated, and triggered by that, an assist stock lottery (AT stock lottery: a range of 0 to 255 times) is performed inside the gaming machine.

When the watermelon is internally won and the assist stock lottery results in a loss (0 wins in the AT lottery), the sub-control unit 160 adds 1 to the watermelon counter in the RAM 162. On the other hand, when winning in the assist stock lottery, the watermelon counter is cleared and returned to zero. That is, it is the watermelon counter that counts up and stores the number of consecutive lost times in the assist stock lottery. When this watermelon counter reaches a predetermined value, the sub-control unit 160 changes to a lottery table without a loss, and lots the number of assist stocks. For example, when the watermelon counter reaches 10 (that is, lose 10 consecutive times), the assist stock number is drawn in the range of 1 to 255 times (that is, there is no loss), then
The player assists the player to win the small bell role by navigating one set of 20 games for the number of assist stocks. Internally, the watermelon is divided into a normal watermelon that is hard to hit AT stock and a chance watermelon that is easy to hit AT stock, and the ratio is 5: 1. Therefore, even if the same watermelon is a chance watermelon, a flashy effect that attracts the player's attention (for example, a large green aura appears on the display effect device 11 or a plurality of watermelons fall).

(5) Bell (FR2): The title when the bell symbols are aligned on the active line. When the bell wins in the lottery, one FR2 (fruit 2) condition device is activated. When FR2 wins alone, regardless of the stop operation sequence of the stop button unit 10,
The bell symbol stops on any one of the active lines, and a prize is always awarded. As will be described later,
Push order determined by a plurality of plums for a plurality of plums when a plurality of plums for a push order control (several parts in a plurality of push order rules) and a bell role are simultaneously elected In the case of a stop operation, the bell small combination wins, but none of the internal winning prizes. In addition, if a stop operation is not performed in the order determined by a plurality of plums, some of the bells will not win, and in most cases they will lose or have a low probability of winning Any one of will win.

(6) Single player 1 (FR3: weak chance): When left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (blue 7), right drum 2c (cherry) stops on the effective line Will be one. Since the single player 1 wins at the same time as any of the first bonus and the third bonus with a low probability to a medium probability, the player will be excited when this is displayed.

(7) Single piece 2 (FR4: strong chance): Left drum 2a (red 7), middle drum 2b (black bar), right drum 2c (cherry) on the active line, the number of winnings Will be one. Since the single player 2 wins at the same time as any one of the first bonus and the third bonus with a medium probability to a high probability, when this is displayed, the player feels extremely hot.

(8) Push order regulation small role (FR5 to FR31: 27 in total): left drum 2a (plum (
Red), plum (blue), plum (white)), middle drum 2b (plum (red), plum (blue), plum (white)), right drum 2c (plum (red)) , Plum (blue), or plum (white)) stops on the active line, the number of acquired is 15 (details are shown in FIG. 2).
6). There are a total of 27 (multiple) push order regulation small roles, and 3 of them (a part of multiple) are designed to win internally at the same time as the bell. If a stop operation is performed in the order of pressing determined uniquely by the role, the bell small role wins.

(9) Cherry (CH): The title when the cherry symbol stops on the effective line of the left drum 2a, and the number obtained is one. When a cherry wins in the lottery, one CH condition device is activated, and that triggers an assist stock lottery (AT stock lottery:
0 to 255 times). Cherry is a single symbol small part, left drum 2a
The winning is achieved only by stopping on the active line, and is independent of the stopping symbols of the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c.

In addition, when the cherry wins and the assist stock lottery results in a loss (0 wins in the AT lottery), the sub-control unit 160 adds 1 to the cherry counter in the RAM 162. On the other hand, when winning in the assist stock lottery, the cherry counter is cleared and returned to zero. That is, it is the cherry counter that counts up and stores the number of consecutive lost times in the assist stock lottery. When the cherry counter reaches a predetermined value, the sub-control unit 160 changes to a lottery table without a loss, and lots the assist stock number. For example, when the cherry counter reaches 5 (that is, losing 5 consecutive times), the assist stock number is drawn in the range of 1 to 255 times (that is, without losing),
Thereafter, the player continues the navigation for one set of 20 games as many times as the assist stock number, and assists the player to win the small bell role. Internally, the cherry is divided into a normal cherry that is hard to hit the AT stock and a chance cherry that is easy to hit the AT stock, and the ratio is 2: 1. Therefore, even if the same cherry is a chance cherry, a flashy effect that attracts the player's attention (for example, the appearance of a large red aura or the fall of a plurality of cherries on the display effect device 11) is made.

(10) Replay 1 (RP1): This is the title when three replay symbols are aligned on the active line. In response to this, no medals are obtained, and when the RP1 flag is set in the flag area and the player wins alone. The replay 1 always works. By operating the start lever 9 of the player,
The next game can be played without inserting medals. Note that when one of the other replays 2 to 4 described later is simultaneously selected, any replay symbol is displayed and operated according to the pressing order.

(11) Replay 2 (RP2): The title when (replay) on the left drum 2a, (bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (replay) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line. Is not acquired, and if the RP2 flag is set in the flag area and the player is elected alone, the replay 2 is always activated. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. Replay 2 is on the active line in the RT1 state (in the initial state where the replay probability is about 1 / 7.3, the push order bell is elected and when the missing symbol is displayed, the replay probability increases to about 1/2) If they are displayed together, the RT2 state is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.2. In most cases, when simultaneous winning with replay 1 or overlapping with other replays is made and the pressing order is correct, the player enters an RT2 state that is advantageous to the player and activates the assist function.

(12) Replay 3 (RP3): Left drum 2a (replay), middle drum 2b (replay), right drum 2c with plum (red), plum (blue), plum (white) on the effective line In the case of a match, medals are not earned for this and RP is displayed in the flag area.
3. If you set a flag and win alone, replay 3 will always work. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be performed without inserting a new medal. When the replay 3 is displayed on the active line in the RT1 state (replay probability is about 1/2), the replay probability is lowered to about 1/6 and the state is changed to the RT3 state for only 10 games. It becomes a chance zone. In this RT3 state, when the replay 4 is won again, the assist stock lottery is performed with a high winning probability, so that it is a blissful period for the player to feel excitement and excitement.

(13) Replay 4 (RP4): The left drum 2a has a plum (red), plum (blue), or plum (white), the middle drum 2b (bell), and the right drum 2c (replay) on the effective line. In this case, no medals will be acquired and RP4
When the flag is set and the player is elected alone, the replay 3 always operates. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. In most cases, the replay 4 is won simultaneously with the replay 1 or overlapped with other replays, and the replay 4 or the replay 1 operates according to the pressing order. RT1 state (replay probability about 1/2)
If the push order is incorrect, the replay 4 will be displayed on the active line, and the replay probability will drop to about 1 / 7.3. It becomes the Hamari RT zone.

(14) Replay 5 (RP5): left drum 2a (blue 7), middle drum 2b (bell),
This is the title when (Replay) is aligned on the active line on the right drum 2c, and medals are not obtained for this, but if the RP5 / flag is set in the flag area and the player is elected alone, the replay 5 must be Operate. By the player's operation of the start lever 9, the next game can be played without inserting medals. Note that the replay 5 is a replay for controlling the pressing order, and is actually displayed only when one of the bonuses is being won internally, otherwise it is not aligned on the active line. Therefore, if the replay 5 is activated in a state where it is unknown whether the bonus is won or not, the player is relieved because the bonus is determined.

  FIG. 28 is a combination table of condition devices for push order small combinations.

The push order small combination means a winning combination in which the bell small combination (first small combination) is won when the operation order of the stop button portion 10 is correct and the bell small combination is not won in the case of incorrect answer. In the present invention, if the first stop operation is correct, the bell small part wins, so the winning probability is 1/3. On the other hand, if the first stop operation is an incorrect answer, a loss (small part missing) or plum small part wins with a probability of about 2/27. Therefore, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out is approximately 6.1 sheets with 15 sheets × (1/3 + 2/27).

As shown in the figure, there are 27 types of combinations of bell small combination and push order small combination from number 01 to number 27. There are 27 (types) different Plums as push order regulation small roles, 3 of them (a part of multiple push order rules) and Bell small role (first small role) However, the internal lottery is to be won at the same time by one random number lottery.

When any one of the numbers 01 to 09 is internally won and the left stop button 10a is operated in the first stop, the bell small part is won, while the other stop button portions 10 are operated in the first stop. ,
Losing or winning a prize with a low probability. Similarly, when any of No. 10 to No. 18 is internally won and the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop, the bell small part wins, while the other stop button portions 10 are first stopped. When operated, a loser or plum small wins. In addition, any one of No. 19 to No. 27 is won internally, and the right stop button 10 at the first stop.
When c is operated, the bell small part wins, while when the other stop button portion 10 is first stopped, the lose or plum small part wins.

FIG. 29 is a table showing combinations of condition devices and symbol defining data. FIG. 29A is a combination table of the condition devices of the push order small combination number 01 (see FIG. 28), and FIG. 29B conceptually shows the configuration of the symbol defining data.

As the combination of the bell small part and push order small part, when number 01 is won internally, FR2 + FR
The 5 + FR9 + FR13 condition device (flag) is activated (see FIG. 29A). Therefore,
FR2 bell bell bell, FR5 plum (red), plum (red), plum (red), FR9 plum (red), plum (blue), depending on the player's operation of the stop button 10 plum(
Blue) or FR13's Plum (Red), Plum (White), Plum (White) wins a prize, or loses no medal payout (all small roles do not win). In this case, the first stop operation sets the left stop button 10a to “push order correct answer” and the priority symbol is a bell symbol, while the other first stop operation is “push order incorrect answer” and the priority symbol is plum It is a design.

Symbol data is information used for symbol stop control, and symbol data (first information)
And color data (second information). The bell symbol does not have color information, and is specified only by the symbol data 04H (that is, since it is a single color, color data is unnecessary). On the other hand, the Plum design has the same shape, but the color is different from red, blue and white. Therefore, the Plum (red) design has the design data 20H and the color data 10H, and the Plum (blue) design has the design data 20H and the color. By distinguishing the data 20H and the plum (white) symbol from the symbol data 20H and the color data 40H, the three-color plum symbol can be specified.

Next, the operation of the swivel type gaming machine configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and flowcharts.

  FIG. 30 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

For example, when the number 01 shown in FIG. 28 is won by random lottery, as described above, FR2
The + FR5 + FR9 + FR13 condition device is activated. When the player operates the left stop button 10a in the first stop in this state, the main control unit 100 determines that the stored control information (first left stop) matches (the pressing order is “correct”). Regardless of the subsequent order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation, only the bell small role is always won and 15 medals are paid out. That is,
The main control unit 100 starts a variable display game that fluctuates the three symbol sequences, and, by lottery, three of the 27 plum small roles that are the bell small number and the push order regulation small number are simultaneously won internally.
When the stop button unit 10 is operated in the pressing order determined by these three plum small combinations, the bell small combination is won, and as will be described later, none of the three prize winning combinations won at the same time. Thus, stop control is performed.

FIG. 30A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, the player makes the first stop and presses the left stop button 10a. When the stop operation is performed when the cherry No. 8 is at the reference position (the state where the cherry No. 8 can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the left drum 2a, see FIG. 30B), the main control unit 100 is one of the active lines. The pull-in control is performed so that the bell symbol stops at the shortest time. In this case, no. 4 bell symbols on the second line (
(Upper, upper, upper: upper horizontal line) (see FIG. 30C).

  FIG. 31 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

In a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating (see FIG. 30A), the player stops the left stop button 10a with No. When the replay of No. 6 is at the reference position (when the No. 6 replay can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the left drum), the main control unit 100 immediately stops the drum, as shown in FIG. Similarly, no. 4 bell symbols on the second line (upper,
The upper stage and the upper stage are stopped at the upper horizontal line (see FIG. 31A).

On the other hand, in the state of FIG. When the 5th plum (red) is at the reference position and the stop operation is performed (the No. 5 plum (red) can be stopped immediately at the lower position of the left drum), the main control unit 100 immediately stops the drum, No. 4 bell symbols are stopped at the first line (middle, middle, middle: central horizontal line) (FIG. 31B).
reference).

Further, in the state shown in FIG. 30A, the player makes the first stop and presses the left stop button 10a. When the stop operation is performed when the bell 4 is at the reference position, the main control unit 100 immediately stops the drum and No.
. 4 bell symbol is stopped at the third line (lower, middle, upper: upper right) (FIG. 31C)
reference).

  FIG. 32 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 32A is the same as FIG. 31A, and when the player stops the middle stop button 10b in the second stop in a state where the left drum 2a is stopped and the bell symbol is displayed in the upper stage. ,
The main control unit 100 is, for example, No. 4 is stopped at the upper stage of the middle drum 2b (FIG. 32).
(See (B)). Since the four bell symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames, any bell symbol in the pull-in range can be stopped at the upper stage of the middle drum 2b to reach a reach state. is there.

When the player performs a stop operation on the right stop button 10c in the second stop from the state of FIG. The bell symbol 6 is stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c (
(See FIG. 32C). Since the four bell symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames, any bell symbol in the pull-in range can be stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c to reach a reach state. is there.

The “reach state” is a state in which the symbols constituting the predetermined role are aligned on the effective line of the symbol row other than the one symbol row that was rotated last, and the last rotated symbol row is When the predetermined symbol is displayed on the active line when the operation stops, the predetermined combination is in a state of winning (FIG. 3).
2 (B) and FIG. 32 (C)). This reach state is also referred to as a “temple state” of a predetermined role as a synonym, and in FIG. 32, the “reach state” or “tempe state” of the bell small role
It has become.

  FIG. 33 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

In FIG. 33A, as in FIG. 32B, the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b are stopped,
When two bell symbols are displayed together on the second line, the bell small role is in the reach state, and the player stops the right stop button 10c at the third stop, the main control unit 100, for example, No.
The bell symbol 6 is stopped on the upper stage of the middle drum 2b, and the small bell is awarded on the second line (
(See the right figure in FIG. 33A). As described above, the four bell symbols on the right drum 2c are 4
Since it is arranged at the interval of frames, from the reach state of the bell small role, stop any bell symbol in the pull-in range (“4 frames” in the current rule) on the upper stage of the right drum 2c, and Can be awarded.

Also, from the state shown in the left diagram of FIG. The bell symbol No. 4 is stopped on the upper stage of the middle drum 2b, and the bell small part is awarded on the second line (see the right figure in FIG. 33B). Right drum 2
As in c, since the four bell symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames, any bell symbol in the pull-in range is stopped at the upper stage of the middle drum 2b from the reach state of the bell small role. It is possible to win a small bell role. Then, FIG. 33 (A) and FIG. 33 (B)
As shown in FIG. 5, when the main control unit 100 wins the bell small role (first small role), the FR5 plum (red) and plums which are the three push order regulation small roles that are simultaneously won internally. (Red), plum (red), FR9 plum (red), plum (blue), plum (blue) or FR13 plum (
Red), plum (white), and plum (white) are not awarded. At this time, all 27 types of plum smalls will not reach the reach. That is, FIG. 33A left figure or FIG.
B) In the figure on the left, the bell small part is in the reach state, but in the reach state of the bell small part, the plum small part is not in the reach state.

In the above description, the case where the number 01 is won, the push order is correct, and the bell small part wins is explained. However, even when the numbers 02 to 09 shown in FIG. When the left stop button 10a is operated, the order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation thereafter
Only the small bell will always win. Similarly, when numbers 10 to 18 shown in FIG. 28 are won, the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop, or numbers 19 to 2
When 7 is won, when the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop, only the bell small part always wins. That is, only the first stop operation of the stop button unit 10 determines the winning or non-winning of the bell small role, and the symbol stop control operation is the same, so the description is omitted.

  34 to 35 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

As explained in FIG. 30, when the number 01 (see FIG. 28) is won by random number lottery, the FR
The condition device of 2 + FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is activated. In this state, when the player operates the middle stop button 10b in the first stop, the main control unit 100 determines that the stored control information (first left stop) does not match (the pressing order is “incorrect answer”), FR5 + FR9 + FR1 winning simultaneously
One of the three symbols is drawn on the active line first, while the bell symbol is kicked off from the active line, so that no matter how the second stop operation and the third stop operation are performed thereafter, the bell small part is won. Stop control is performed so that it does not occur. Further, in this case, the main control unit 100 does not establish the bell small role without reaching, but this is the most important constituent requirement for affirming the patentability of the present invention.

FIG. 34A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, the player stops the middle stop button 10b at the first stop, When the stop operation is performed when the No. 7 plum (white) is at the reference position (the No. 7 plum (white) can immediately stop at the lower position of the middle drum 2b; see FIG. 34B), the main control unit 100 Performs pull-in control of sliding the frame design of either red, blue or white (see FIG. 29A), which is the middle drum design of FR5 + FR9 + FR13, by three frames so as to stop at the upper position of the middle drum 2b (FIG. 34C). reference). In this case, the main control unit 100 stops the plum (red) which is the middle drum symbol of FR5 on the second line, but searches for only symbol data “20H” when pulling the plum symbol, The matched symbol is stopped at a predetermined position, and the color of the plum symbol actually stopped after the symbol with sufficient time is stopped is stored in the RAM 102 (red in the upper middle drum). That is, as shown in FIG. 29 (B), the plum symbol is composed of symbol data and color data, but during the first stop control, the color data processing is omitted and only the symbol data is used. Since the plum symbol is drawn in, and the time for calculating the stop position can be reduced by that amount, the symbol position shift when the drum is stopped can be eliminated.

Further, since the bell symbol is stopped at the lower position of the middle drum 2b and deviated from the effective line, the possibility that the bell small part wins in the subsequent stop operation is completely eliminated. This point (
(If the first stop push order is incorrect)
Is one of the constituent elements that affirm the patentability of the present invention.

As a stop mode other than that in FIG. 34 (C), (1) No. 2 is set at the upper position of the middle drum 2b. No. 7 plum (white) stops (see FIG. 35A), (2) No. No. 12 plum (blue) stops (see FIG. 35B), and (3) No. 12 If the 17 plum (blue) stops (
(See FIG. 35 (C)), but if the answer is incorrect in the order of pressing the first stop, as in FIG. 34 (C),
At this point, the possibility of winning the bell role is gone.

  FIG. 36 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

36 (A) is the same as FIG. 34 (C). In the state where the 2 plum (red) symbol is displayed in the upper row, the player stops the second stop button 10a with the second stop.
When the operation is stopped, the main control unit 100, for example, No. 5 drum (red) pattern on left drum 2a
(See FIG. 36B). Since the four plum symbols on the left drum 2a are arranged at intervals of four frames, regardless of the three plum small symbols that are won internally,
Any of the plum symbols within the pull-in range can be stopped at the upper stage of the left drum 2b, and any of the 27 types of plum small parts can be brought into a reach state. In this case, the main control unit 100 searches only the symbol data “20H” when pulling in any of the red, blue and white plum symbols, stops the matched symbol at a predetermined position, and after the symbol with sufficient time is stopped. The actually stopped color of the plum symbol is stored in the RAM 102 (red on the upper left drum, red on the upper middle drum).

In the case of FIG. 36B, the FR5 plum (red) symbol of the internal winning is stopped at the upper left drum and the upper middle drum (on the second line), so the possibility that FR5 will win It is left. However, also in the case of FIG. 36C, the RAM 102 stores that white is stopped at the upper stage of the left drum and red is stopped at the upper stage of the middle drum, and the main control unit 100 stores the FR shown in FIG.
Although it recognizes that 23-FR25 is in the reach state, since those condition devices are not operating, the stop control of the symbols is performed so as to finally lose. Further, the main control unit 100 pulls in any of the plum symbols using only the symbol data, and the time required for calculating the stop position can be reduced accordingly, so that the symbol position deviation when the drum is stopped is eliminated. Can do.

  FIG. 37 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 37 (A) is the same as FIG. 36 (B), and the plum (red) symbols are stopped at the upper left drum and upper middle drum (on the second line), so that the internal winning FR5 + FR9 +
Among FR13, FR5 is in a reach state, and there is a possibility that a plum (red) symbol is aligned on the second line and won. That is, as shown in FIG. 37 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not set the bell small role in the reach state, and all the pressing order specified small role symbols (
Any one of 27 types of plum small symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

In the state of FIG. 37A, the right stop button 10 corresponding to the last rotating right drum 2c.
When c is stopped, the main control unit 100 determines that the plum symbol (red) is within the number of drawn frames (in this case, within five frames including the upper position of the right drum 2c that can be stopped immediately). Plum (red) because it matches FR5, which is one of the push order rulers in internal winning.
The symbol is stopped on the second line to win a prize (see FIG. 37B). On the other hand, if the number within the number of drawn frames is other than the plum (red) symbol, the main control unit 100 performs stop control of the right drum 2c so as not to win the FR5 that has reached the reach state. For example, no. If the 10 plum (white) symbol is located in the upper part of the right drum 2c, it is slid down three frames and the 7 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 37C). This plum design,
Plum symbols and replay symbols are special symbols called small role misses, and when the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, the replay probability is increased for a predetermined number of games. RT1 state with high probability (1/2).

  FIG. 38 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 38 (A) is the same as FIG. 36 (C), and the plum (white) symbol is stopped on the upper left drum and the plum (red) symbol is stopped on the upper middle of the second drum. None of the winning FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is in a reach state, and there is no possibility of winning a prize with all the plum symbols on the second line. That is, as shown in FIG.
If the push order is incorrect, the bell small role is not reached, and any one of all push order specified small role symbols (27 types of plum small role symbols) is stopped to reach the reach state. To do. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

In the state of FIG. 38 (A), the right stop button 10 corresponding to the right drum 2c rotating last.
When c is stopped, the main control unit 100 determines whether the plum design within the number of retracted frames (in this case, within 5 frames including the upper position of the right drum 2c that can be stopped immediately) is either red, blue or white. Even if it exists, since it does not coincide with FR5 + FR9 + FR13, which is the push order regulation small part in the internal winning, the stop control of the right drum 2c is performed so that the replay symbols within the number of drawn frames are stopped on the upper stage of the right drum 2c. For example, no. 10 plum (white) symbols on the right drum 2
If it is located one frame above the upper stage (see FIG. 38 (B)), it is slid down four frames and no. 7 is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 38C). This plum design,
As described above, the plum symbol and the replay symbol are special symbols referred to as the small role missed eyes. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, only the predetermined number of games are displayed. The RT1 state has a high replay probability (1/2).

  FIG. 39 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

39 (A) is the same as FIG. 36 (A). In the state where the 2 plum (red) symbol is displayed in the upper row, the player stops the second stop 10c with the second stop.
When the operation is stopped, the main control unit 100, for example, No. 5 drum (red) design with right drum 2c
(See FIG. 39B). In addition, since the four plum symbols on the right drum 2c are arranged at intervals of four frames, regardless of the three plum small symbols that are won internally,
Any of the plum symbols in the pull-in range can be stopped at the upper stage of the right drum 2c, and any of the 27 types of plum small parts can be reached. In this case, the main control unit 100 searches only the symbol data “20H” when pulling in any of the red, blue and white plum symbols, stops the matched symbol at a predetermined position, and after the symbol with sufficient time is stopped. The color of the actually stopped plum symbol is stored in the RAM 102 (red on the upper middle drum, red on the upper right drum).

In the case of FIG. 39B, the FR5 plum (red) symbol of the internal winning is stopped at the middle drum upper stage and the right drum upper stage (on the second line), so there is a possibility that FR5 will win a prize. It is left. However, also in the case of FIG. 39C, the RAM 102 stores the fact that red is stopped at the upper stage of the middle drum and white is stopped at the upper stage of the right drum, and the main control unit 100 stores the FR shown in FIG.
7. Although it recognizes that FR16 and FR25 are in the reach state, since those condition devices are not operating, the stop control of the symbol is performed so as to finally lose. Also,
The main control unit 100 pulls in any of the plum symbols using only the symbol data, and the time required for calculating the stop position can be reduced by that amount, so that the symbol misalignment when the drum is stopped can be eliminated. .

  FIG. 40 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 40 (A) is the same as FIG. 39 (B), and the plum (red) symbols are stopped at the upper stage of the middle drum and the upper stage of the right drum (on the second line), so that the internal winning FR5 + FR9 +
Among FR13, FR5 is in a reach state, and there is a possibility that a plum (red) symbol is aligned on the second line and won. That is, as shown in FIG. 40 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not set the bell small role in the reach state, and all the pressing order specified small role symbols (
Any one of 27 types of plum small symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

In the state of FIG. 40 (A), the left stop button 10 corresponding to the last rotating left drum 2a.
When a is stopped, the main control unit 100 determines that a plum symbol (red) is a plum symbol within the number of drawn frames (in this case, within five frames including the upper position of the left drum 2a that can be stopped immediately). Plum (red) because it matches FR5, which is one of the push order rulers in internal winning.
The symbol is stopped on the second line to win a prize (see FIG. 40B). On the other hand, if the number within the number of drawn frames is other than the plum (red) symbol, the main control unit 100 performs stop control of the left drum 2a so as not to win the FR 5 in the reach state. For example, no. If the 15 plum (white) symbol is located in the upper part of the left drum 2a, it is slid down four frames and No. 11 replay symbols are stopped at the upper stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 40C). These replay symbols, plum symbols, and plum symbols are special symbols called small part missing points. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state with a replay probability of 1 / 7.3, Only the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2) is obtained.

  FIG. 41 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 41 (A) is the same as FIG. 39 (C), and the plum (red) symbol is stopped on the upper middle drum, and the plum (white) symbol is stopped on the upper right drum. None of the winning FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is in a reach state, and there is no possibility of winning a prize with all the plum symbols on the second line. That is, as shown in FIG.
If the push order is incorrect, the bell small role is not reached, and any one of all push order specified small role symbols (27 types of plum small role symbols) is stopped to reach the reach state. To do. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

In the state of FIG. 41A, the left stop button 10 corresponding to the left drum 2a that is rotating last.
When “a” is stopped, the main control unit 100 determines whether the plum symbol within the number of pull-in frames (in this case, within five frames including the upper position of the left drum 2a that can be stopped immediately) is either red, blue or white. Even so, the left drum 2a is controlled to stop so that the replay symbols within the number of drawn-in frames are stopped on the upper stage of the left drum 2a because they do not coincide with the FR5 + FR9 + FR13 which is the push order regulation small part in the internal winning. For example, no. 15 plums (white) symbol is drum 2c
(See FIG. 41 (B)), it is slid down four frames and no. 11 replay symbols are stopped at the upper stage of the drum 2c (see FIG. 41C). This replay symbol, plum symbol, plum symbol is a special symbol called a small role missing eye as described above. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, a predetermined symbol is displayed. Only the number of games is in the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2).

  42 to 43 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

As explained in FIG. 30, when the number 01 (see FIG. 28) is won by random number lottery, the FR
The condition device of 2 + FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is activated. When the player operates the right stop button 10c at the first stop in this state, the main control unit 100 determines that the stored control information (first left stop) does not match (the pressing order is “incorrect answer”), FR5 + FR9 + FR1 winning simultaneously
One of the three symbols is drawn on the active line first, while the bell symbol is kicked off from the active line, so that no matter how the second stop operation and the third stop operation are performed thereafter, the bell small part is won. Stop control is performed so that it does not occur. Further, in this case, the main control unit 100 does not establish the bell small role without reaching, but this is the most important constituent requirement for affirming the patentability of the present invention.

FIG. 24A shows a state where all the drums of the drum unit 2 are rotating. In this state, the player stops the right stop button 10c at the first stop, When the stop operation is performed when the black bar No. 9 is at the reference position (the No. 9 black bar can immediately stop at the lower position of the right drum 2c).
42 (B)), the main control unit 100 slides the red / blue / white plum design (see FIG. 29 (A)), which is the right drum design of FR5 + FR9 + FR13, in three frames so as to stop at the middle position of the right drum 2c. The pull-in control is performed (see FIG. 42C). In this case, the main control unit 1
00 stops the plum (red) which is the right drum symbol of FR5 on the first line, but when pulling the plum symbol, only the symbol data “20H” is searched and the matching symbol is stopped at a predetermined position. The color of the plum symbol that actually stopped after the symbol that has sufficient time is stopped.
Store in M102 (red in the middle of the right drum). That is, as shown in FIG. 29 (B), the plum symbol is composed of symbol data and color data, but during the first stop control, the color data processing is omitted and only the symbol data is used. Since the plum symbol is drawn in, and the time for calculating the stop position can be reduced by that amount, the symbol position shift when the drum is stopped can be eliminated.

Further, since the bell symbol is stopped at the lower position of the right drum 2c and deviated from the effective line, the possibility that the bell small part wins in the subsequent stop operation is completely eliminated. This point (
(If the first stop push order is incorrect)
Is one of the constituent elements that affirm the patentability of the present invention.

As a stopping mode other than that in FIG. No. 10 plum (white) stops (see FIG. 43A), (2) No. No. 15 plum (blue) stops (see FIG. 43B) and (3) No. When 20 plums (blue) stop (
43 (C)), but if the answer is incorrect in the order of pressing the first stop, as in FIG. 42 (C),
At this point, the possibility of winning the bell role is gone.

  FIG. 44 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

44 (A) is the same as FIG. 42 (C), and the right drum 2c stops and no. In the state where the 5 plum (red) symbol is displayed in the middle, the player stops the second stop button 10a with the second stop.
When the operation is stopped, the main control unit 100, for example, No. 5 drum (red) pattern on left drum 2a
(See FIG. 44B). Since the four plum symbols on the left drum 2a are arranged at intervals of four frames, regardless of the three plum small symbols that are won internally,
Any of the plum symbols in the pull-in range can be stopped at the middle stage of the left drum 2b, and any of the 27 types of plum small parts can be brought into a reach state. In this case, the main control unit 100 searches only the symbol data “20H” when pulling in any of the red, blue and white plum symbols, stops the matched symbol at a predetermined position, and after the symbol with sufficient time is stopped. The color of the actually stopped plum symbol is stored in the RAM 102 (red at the middle of the left drum and red at the middle of the right drum).

In the case of FIG. 44B, the FR5 plum (red) symbol of the internal winning is stopped at the middle stage of the left drum and the middle stage of the right drum (on the first line), so there is a possibility that FR5 will win a prize. It is left. However, also in the case of FIG. 44C, the RAM 102 stores that white is stopped at the middle stage of the left drum and red is stopped at the middle stage of the right drum, and the main control unit 100 stores the FR shown in FIG.
23, FR26, and FR29 recognize that they are in the reach state, but since the condition devices are not operating, the stop control of the symbols is performed so as to finally lose. Further, the main control unit 100 draws in any of the plum symbols using only the symbol data,
Since the time required for calculating the stop position can be reduced by that amount, the positional deviation of the symbols when the drum is stopped can be eliminated.

  FIG. 45 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 45 (A) is the same as FIG. 44 (B), and the plum (red) symbol is stopped at the middle stage of the left drum and the middle stage of the right drum (on the first line), so that the internal winning FR5 + FR9 +
Among FR13, FR5 is in a reach state, and there is a possibility that a plum (red) symbol is aligned on the first line and won. That is, as shown in FIG. 45 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not set the bell small role in the reach state, and all the pressing order specified small role symbols (
Any one of 27 types of plum small symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

In the state shown in FIG. 45A, the middle stop button 10 corresponding to the middle drum 2b rotating last.
When b is stopped, the main control unit 100 determines that the plum symbol (red) is within the number of drawn frames (in this case, within five frames including the middle position of the middle drum 2b that can be stopped immediately). Plum (red) because it matches FR5, which is one of the push order rulers in internal winning.
The symbol is stopped on the first line to win a prize (see FIG. 45B). On the other hand, if the number within the number of drawn frames is other than the plum (red) symbol, the main control unit 100 performs stop control of the middle drum 2b so as not to win the FR5 in the reach state. For example, no. If the plum (white) pattern of No. 7 is located in the middle stage of the middle drum 2b, it is slid down two frames to The replay symbol 5 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 42C). This plum symbol, replay symbol, and plum symbol are special symbols called small part missing points. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, the predetermined number of games. Only the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2) is obtained.

  FIG. 46 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 46 (A) is the same as FIG. 44 (C). Since the plum (white) symbol is stopped at the middle left drum and the plum (red) symbol is stopped at the middle right drum on the first line, None of the winning FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is in a reach state, and there is no possibility of winning a prize with all the plum symbols on the first line. That is, as shown in FIG.
If the push order is incorrect, the bell small role is not reached, and any one of all push order specified small role symbols (27 types of plum small role symbols) is stopped to reach the reach state. To do. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

In the state of FIG. 46A, the middle stop button 10 corresponding to the middle drum 2b rotating last.
When b is stopped, the main control unit 100 determines whether the plum design within the number of retracted frames (in this case, within 5 frames including the middle position of the intermediate drum 2b that can be stopped immediately) is either red, blue or white. Even in such a case, since it does not coincide with FR5 + FR9 + FR13 which is the push order regulation small part in the internal winning, the stop control of the middle drum 2b is performed so that the replay symbols within the number of drawn frames are stopped in the middle upper stage. For example, no. 7 Plum (white) design is inside drum 2
If it is located one frame above the upper stage (see FIG. 46 (B)), it is slid down four frames and No. The replay symbol 5 is stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 46C). This plum design,
The replay symbol and the plum symbol are special symbols called the small role missing eyes as described above. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, only the predetermined number of games are displayed. The RT1 state has a high replay probability (1/2).

  FIG. 47 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window in time series.

47 (A) is the same as FIG. 44 (A), and the right drum 2c stops and no. In the state where the 5 plum (red) symbol is displayed in the middle row, the player can stop the second stop 10b
When the operation is stopped, the main control unit 100, for example, No. 2 plum (red) symbol on the middle drum 2b
(See FIG. 47B). In addition, since the four plum symbols on the middle drum 2b are arranged at intervals of four frames, regardless of the three plum small symbols winning internally,
Any of the plum symbols in the pull-in range can be stopped at the middle stage of the middle drum 2b, and any of the 27 types of plum small parts can be brought into a reach state. In this case, the main control unit 100 searches only the symbol data “20H” when pulling in any of the red, blue and white plum symbols, stops the matched symbol at a predetermined position, and after the symbol with sufficient time is stopped. The color of the actually stopped plum symbol is stored in the RAM 102 (red in the middle middle drum and red in the right middle drum).

In the case of FIG. 47 (B), the FR5 plum (red) symbol of internal winning is stopped at the middle drum middle stage and middle drum middle stage (on the first line), so the possibility of FR5 winning It is left. However, also in the case of FIG. 47C, the RAM 102 stores that white is stopped in the middle stage of the middle drum and red is stopped in the middle stage of the right drum, and the main control unit 100 stores the FR shown in FIG.
11, it recognizes that FR20 and FR29 are in the reach state, but since those condition devices are not operating, the stop control of the symbol is performed so as to finally lose. Further, the main control unit 100 draws in any of the plum symbols using only the symbol data,
Since the time required for calculating the stop position can be reduced by that amount, the positional deviation of the symbols when the drum is stopped can be eliminated.

  FIG. 48 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 48 (A) is the same as FIG. 47 (B), and the plum (red) symbol is stopped at the middle drum middle stage and the right drum middle stage (on the first line), so that the internal winning FR5 + FR9 +
Among FR13, FR5 is in a reach state, and there is a possibility that a plum (red) symbol is aligned on the first line and won. That is, as shown in FIG. 48 (A), if the pressing order is incorrect, the main control unit 100 does not reach the bell small role in the reach state, and all the pressing order specified small role symbols (
Any one of 27 types of plum small symbols) is stopped to reach a reach state. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

In the state of FIG. 48 (A), the left stop button 10 corresponding to the left drum 2a rotating last.
When a is stopped, the main control unit 100 determines that the plum symbol is within the number of drawn frames (in this case, within five frames including the middle position of the left drum 2a that can be stopped immediately). Plum (red) because it matches FR5, which is one of the push order rulers in internal winning.
The symbol is stopped on the first line to win a prize (see FIG. 48B). On the other hand, if the number within the number of drawn frames is other than the plum (red) symbol, the main control unit 100 performs stop control of the left drum 2a so as not to win the FR 5 in the reach state. For example, no. If the 15 plum (white) symbol is located in the middle of the left drum 2a, it is slid down four frames and 11 replay symbols are stopped at the middle stage of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 48C). These replay symbols, plum symbols, and plum symbols are special symbols called small part missing points. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state with a replay probability of 1 / 7.3, Only the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2) is obtained.

  FIG. 49 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 49 (A) is the same as FIG. 47 (C), and the plum (white) symbol is stopped at the middle drum middle stage and the plum (red) symbol is stopped at the middle middle drum on the first line. None of the winning FR5 + FR9 + FR13 is in a reach state, and there is no possibility of winning a prize with all the plum symbols on the first line. That is, as shown in FIG.
If the push order is incorrect, the bell small role is not reached, and any one of all push order specified small role symbols (27 types of plum small role symbols) is stopped to reach the reach state. To do. In this case, since it is not determined whether or not the Plum winning combination is won internally, the processing time is shortened and the symbol stop control can be performed quickly.

In the state shown in FIG. 49A, the left stop button 10 corresponding to the last rotating left drum 2a.
When “a” is stopped, the main control unit 100 determines whether the plum symbol within the number of retracted frames (in this case, within five frames including the middle position of the left drum 2a that can be stopped immediately) is a red, blue, or white plum symbol. Even so, the left drum 2a is controlled to stop so that the replay symbols within the number of the drawn-in pieces are stopped at the middle stage of the left drum 2a because they do not coincide with the FR5 + FR9 + FR13 which is the push order regulation small part in the internal winning. For example, no. 15 plums (white) symbol is drum 2c
(See FIG. 49 (B)), slide it down 4 frames and go to No. 11 replay symbols are stopped at the middle stage of the drum 2c (see FIG. 49C). This replay symbol, plum symbol, plum symbol is a special symbol called a small role missing eye as described above. When the special symbol is displayed on the active line in the initial state where the replay probability is 1 / 7.3, a predetermined symbol is displayed. Only the number of games is in the RT1 state with a high replay probability (1/2).

In the above description, the case where the number 01 is won and the pressing order is incorrect and the bell small role does not win is described. However, even if the numbers 02 to 09 shown in FIG. If a button other than the left stop button 10a is operated in the stop, the bell small part will not win regardless of the order of the subsequent second stop operation and the third stop operation. Similarly, the numbers 10 to 1 shown in FIG.
When 8 is won, other than the middle stop button 10b is operated in the first stop, or when numbers 19 to 27 are won, other than the right stop button 10c is operated in the first stop. Sometimes, Bell Bell won't win. That is, only by the first stop operation of the stop button unit 10,
The winning or non-winning of the bell small role is decided, and the symbol stop control operation regarding the winning of the small role or the missing portion of the small role is the same.

FIG. 50 is a flowchart showing a symbol stop processing subroutine. The solid line is the main control unit 1
00 is executed, and a broken line indicates processing executed by the sub-control unit 160.

In the game main process in step S170 of FIG. 22, the main control unit 100 executes random number lottery in accordance with the player's operation of the start lever 9 (start signal reception timing),
After calling this subroutine, the symbol variation display game is started by rotating the drum unit 2.

In step S200, the main control unit 100 outputs a notification signal (command, data, etc.) and notifies the sub-control unit 160 of the lottery result and internal state (bonus flag, RT state, number of digested games after bonus, etc.). The process proceeds to step S210.

Upon receipt of the notification signal, the sub-control unit 160 determines whether or not any of the push order small combinations (condition device combination numbers 01 to 27 shown in FIG. 28) has been won by a command or data in step SS100. If it is not won, the process will end.
The process proceeds to S110.

The sub-control unit 160 confirms whether or not there is an AT stock in Step SS110, and ends if there is no AT stock. On the other hand, if there is an AT stock, the sub-control unit 160 proceeds to Step SS120.

The sub-control unit 160 checks whether or not the condition for releasing the AT stock (invoking the AT function) is established in step SS120, and if not, the process ends. If established, the process proceeds to step SS130. To do.

The sub-control unit 160 activates the AT function in step SS130, notifies the pressing order of the stop button operation, and ends this process. Specifically, this AT function has a voice of “left”, “middle”, “right” in a male voice and “left”, “middle”, “right” in a female voice, The image is displayed on the display effect device 11.

When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S210, the main control unit 100 performs a stop operation in the pressing order determined by the internal winning winning combination (number 01 to number 27), thereby determining that the pressing order is correct, step S220. In step S230, if the pushing order is incorrect, the process proceeds to step S230.

When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S230, when one of the two drum parts 2 stops, the main control unit 100 sets one of the 27 kinds of plum small parts to reach a state, and when the final stop operation of the drum part 2 is performed in step S240. It is determined whether or not the winning prize can be won, and if it is possible to win, the prize is awarded in step S250 and the process ends. On the other hand, if winning is not possible, a special symbol (missing eye) is displayed in step S260. Then, the RT1 state, which is a high probability replaying state, is set to end.

  FIG. 51 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

The sub-control unit 160 switches and displays the effect video displayed on the display effect device 11 according to the gaming state. FIG. 51A shows a daytime stage screen, which is used in a state where the AT winning probability is low. FIG. 51 (B) is a night stage screen, which is mainly used during the internal winning of the bonus or in a state where the winning probability of the AT is high. I feel uplifted. The sub-control unit 160 is a middle stage cherry (in the industry, “single check”
It is called a watermelon or a rare small role such as a strong bell that is arranged independently regardless of the pressing order, and if it is further elected in the subsequent lottery, it switches from the normal screen of the day to the screen of the night .
On the other hand, every time a replay is won, a falling lottery is performed with a predetermined probability, so that during a general game, a normal day screen and a night screen are alternately displayed at a predetermined frequency. In general, these display screens
In order to suggest the correct mode to the player, the time, weather, etc. are changed according to the stay mode such as low probability state and high probability state during bonus internal election, but the player can also perform the gaze effect as appropriate Can further enhance the expectations.

FIG. 51C shows a night screen. When the player operates the start lever from the night stage screen to start the variable display game, the sub-control unit 160 has a predetermined condition such as when a rare small role is won. Assist lottery (AT lottery) is performed every time it is established. When the sub-control unit 160 performs the AT lottery, the sub-control unit 160 performs an effect of dropping the brightness on the night stage screen together with thunder. In addition, a night screen is used as a precursor for releasing bonuses and ATs. In particular, when a bonus is won, the abrupt change from the day stage screen to the night stage screen is performed, and the lightning continuous effect is performed at least twice to suggest the bonus confirmation. In addition, if the lightning effect is performed three times from the daytime stage screen, it indicates that the bonus confirmation and AT lottery have been won. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's expectation by appropriately generating thunder and shininess.

The AT lottery described above is also referred to as a navigation lottery (abbreviated name of “navigation lottery”), and when the AT function is activated, the sub-control unit 160 is stopped in order to avoid winning a winning combination or falling replay when the AT function is activated. The operation order of the button unit 10 is notified. If you win the AT lottery, A
Rather than triggering the T function immediately, it can be added and stored as AT stock (stored or stored), and released at once at a desired timing, allowing a player to acquire a large number of medals. is there. For example, in the RT state (high-probability replay state) after winning a premier bonus of 7 reds with very low winning probability, all AT stock for one set of 50 games is released, and AT lottery is performed during ART For example, since the ART continues indefinitely without reducing the number of balls by RT, a lump of balls can be created.

  FIG. 52 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

When notifying the bonus winning, the sub-control unit 160 displays the night stage screen again (see FIG. 52A) in the next variable display game in which the final effect of FIG. According to the operation of the unit 10, two bats with a plate approach from a distance and display so that the “BONUS” characters can be recognized gradually (see FIG. 52 (B)), and finally the bats fly away Produce.

Also, from the state where the night stage screen is displayed, scroll the display screen to the right, the cemetery is expanded and the butler of the character digs with the cry of "Ollya" and the sound effect of "Tiroro Lorne" It is good also as an extremely premiere effect for a player by making the hero character appear from the grave hole in the center of the raised screen (see FIG. 52C).

  FIG. 53 is a schematic diagram of an effect screen displayed by the display effect device.

When the sub-control unit 160 notifies the AT release, the sub-control unit 160 displays the night stage screen again in the next variation display game in which the final effect is performed in the same manner as the bonus notification (see FIG. 53A), and the stop button unit. In response to 10 operations, two bats with a plate approach from a distance, and display the words “ART START”, which means the activation of the assist function, gradually (see FIG. 53 (B)). ), The last bat announcement effect will be performed.

Also, from the night stage screen displayed, scroll the display screen to the right, the cemetery is expanded, and the character ’s butler is screaming “Ollya” and the sound effect “Tiroro Lorne”, and the center of the screen By digging up the plate with “ART START” written from the grave hole of the player, it may be a very stunning premier effect for the player (FIG. 53C)
reference).

  54 to 55 are schematic diagrams of effect screens displayed by the display effect device.

As described above, when the sub-control unit 160 activates the ART function that continues 50 games in one set, the sub-control unit 160 displays the remaining number of games and the number of acquired coins indicating the number of purely increased medals at the upper right of the display effect device 11. Since the AT function is generally activated in the RT state, the ART function will be described as an example.

When the first game starts, the sub-control unit 160 displays the remaining number of games as 49 and the number of net increase medals as 0, and if the pushing order bell is won at that time, the stop button portion necessary for winning the bell small role The pressing order of 10 is displayed by the numbers 1 to 3. In this case, the number 1 indicating the first stop operation is displayed in a large circle and pronounced “Naka” in the voice of Dracula or the hero (
FIG. 54 (A)). Note that the player is also assisted with the same display and voice even when the push order replay in which the RT is punctured if the operation is wrong is won.

When the player correctly operates the middle stop button 10b, the sub-control unit 160 changes the large circle character at the center to OK to make it a small circle, and expands the number 2 meaning the second stop operation to a large circle. Are displayed (see FIG. 54B).

When the player correctly operates the right stop button 10c, the sub-control unit 160 changes the large circle character on the right to a small circle, and expands the number 3 indicating the third stop operation to a large circle. (See FIG. 54C). In addition, as described above, the push order bell wins only by correctly answering the first stop operation, but if the second and third stop operations are not displayed, the player is confused and is displayed to avoid it. It is. However, if the second and third stop operation sequences are mistaken, the bell small role may be won, but the assist lottery may not be performed in the next variable display game.

When the player finally operates the left stop button 10a, the sub-control unit 160 changes the large circle character on the left to OK to make a small circle (see FIG. 55A). Then, “GET”, which means a bell small prize winning, is displayed, and the obtained number of coins is 0-15 in conjunction with paying out 15 medals.
The image is added and displayed (see FIG. 55B).

  Next, symbol stop control using the sliding frame number table will be described.

  FIG. 56 is a structural diagram of the stop table.

The stop table includes a forward push table (see FIG. 56A) and a reverse push table (see FIG.
B), and selection information (x), slip number data (y), and score data (n) as stop control data are stored in association with the stop operation position of each cylinder. . In the forward push table, the first stop is the first drum (the left drum 2) as the operation order of the stop button unit 10.
a), the second stop is the second cylinder (middle drum 2b), the third stop is the third cylinder (right drum 2c), the first stop is the first cylinder, the second stop is the third The rotating cylinder and the third stop are used when scissors are driven by the second cylinder, while the reverse pushing table is used when the first stop is in a stopping order other than the first cylinder. The selection information (x) takes a value of 0 to 4 as data in a 4-bit configuration. The slip number data (y) takes a value of 0 to 4 as data in a 4-bit configuration. The score data (n) is 2
The bit configuration takes a value of 0 to 3 as data and is assigned to each of the 20 symbol frame positions of each cylinder.

  FIG. 57 is a flowchart showing a sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine.

In the game main process in step S170 of FIG. 22, the main control unit 100 executes random number lottery based on the player's operation of the start lever 9 (when the start signal is received) and rotates the drum unit 2. The symbol variation display game is started. Then, until the rotation speed of the drum unit 2 becomes constant and the stop button unit 10 becomes operable, this subroutine is called to generate a sliding frame number table in advance.

The sliding frame number table is a data table that stores the number of sliding frames when it is assumed that the stop button unit 10 for the rotating drum unit 2 is stopped for all symbol frame positions.

In order to determine the stop position of the drum unit 2, the main control unit 100 determines the stop table corresponding to the operation of all the condition devices including the losing in step S300 (that is, the stop control selected according to the predetermined combination that is won internally). Data) is selected, and the highest score is cleared to 0 in step S310.
The stop position of the drum unit 2 is within the stop control range (5 frames: 1 stop of bita + 4 frames of slip)
The position where the highest score (maximum score) appears in the lower window position.

In step S320, the main control unit 100 acquires the score of the symbol on the active line. In step S330, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not it is a non-permitted winning position such as a cherry or an improper winning combination. On the other hand, the process proceeds to S375, and if it is not the non-permitted winning position, the process proceeds to Step S340. In other words, since the drum unit 2 is never stopped at the non-permitted winning position, this position does not become the highest score.

When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S340, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the winning symbol is a winning position, and if it is a winning position, the main control unit 100 adds an additional point to the current score in step S350 and proceeds to step S360. If it is not the winning position, the process proceeds to step S360. This additional point is data for stop control, and it is 128 × 256 points if it is a position where replays are aligned, 64 × 256 points if it is a position where winning symbols are aligned, and 32 × 256 points if it is a position where bonuses are aligned. ing.

When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S360, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not the current score is greater than the highest score. If the current score is larger, the main control unit 100 rewrites the current score to the highest score and stores the stop position and proceeds to step S375. If not, the process proceeds to step S375.

When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S375, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not all of the stoppable positions (the positions of five frames within the stop control range) have been searched. If the search has been performed, the process proceeds to step S380. If not, the process proceeds to step S320.

In step S380, the main control unit 100 stores the number of sliding frames from the virtual operation frame position in the sliding frame number table based on the stored stop position, and in step S390, the main control unit 100 stores the sliding frame number at all virtual operation frame positions. If it is not generated, the process proceeds to step S310. If it is generated, the sliding frame number table is completed and the process ends.

  FIG. 58 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

The sliding frame number table is associated with all symbol frame positions (in this case, the symbol numbers are 1 to 20 frame positions) in the changing symbol row before the stop operation of each cylinder is enabled. Data (z) is stored.

The sliding frame number data takes a value of 0 to 4 (5-frame control, the maximum number of sliding frames is 4 frames) as a 4-bit configuration, and the stop control selected by the main control unit 100 according to a predetermined combination that is won internally. Based on the data for use, it is obtained by calculation (or calculation) with respect to all symbol frame positions in the changing symbol sequence (the first cylinder to the third cylinder). The main control unit 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol sequence, sets the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol sequence, and sets all the symbol frames of the symbol sequence whose rotation flag is 1 to 1. The sliding frame number data corresponding to the position is stored in the RAM 102 as a sliding frame number table.

FIG. 59 is a structural diagram of the stop table (when lost).

This stop table (when lost) is composed of a forward push table (see FIG. 59 (A)) and a reverse push table (see FIG. 59 (B)) as in FIG. The selection information, the slip number data, and the score data are stored as specific numerical values assigned at the design stage in association with.

FIG. 60 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

When the main control unit 100 is in a lost state (a state in which all condition devices are not standing), FIG.
The sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of No. 7 is called, the stop table of FIG. 59 corresponding to forward or reverse pressing is selected (at the time of losing), the number of sliding frames with respect to the virtual stop operation symbol position is sequentially calculated, Complete the sliding frame number table for one stop operation.

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is first stopped at the symbol number 20 of the left drum 2a,
Since it is a forward push, the stop table of FIG. 59A (when lost: forward push) is selected and the slip number data is recognized as 3 (see FIGS. 60A and 60B). In this slip number data, the score of the symbol number considering the value is 2 from the pressed position, otherwise the score is 1. In this case, 3 of the slip number data is subtracted from the symbol number 20 No. 1
7 is score 2, and the score is 1 for all other symbol numbers (positions of four symbols of symbol numbers 20, 19, 18, and 16). As a result, since the symbol number 17 is the highest score, the sliding frame number data is 3. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 20, the black bar slides at the position of the lower window of the left drum 2a by sliding three frames (see FIG. 60C).

If it is assumed that the stop operation is performed at symbol number 20 of the middle drum 2b, the main control unit 100 performs reverse pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 selects the stop table (at the time of loss: reverse pressing) in FIG.
It is recognized that a score of 0 is 1, a score of symbol number 19 is 3, a score of symbol number 18 is 1, a score of symbol number 17 is 2, and a score of symbol number 16 is 1. As a result, since the symbol number 19 is the highest score, the sliding frame number data is 1. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 20, the bell slides by one frame and stops at the lower window position of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 60D).

Assuming that the stop operation is performed with the symbol number 20 of the right drum 2c, the main control unit 100 performs reverse pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 selects the stop table (when lost: reverse pressing) in FIG.
It is recognized that a score of 0 is 3, a score of symbol number 19 is 1, a score of symbol number 18 is 2, a score of symbol number 17 is 1, and a score of symbol number 16 is 3. As a result, symbol number 20 and symbol number 1
Although 6 is the same highest score, the symbol number 20 is selected with priority given to the fact that the reels stop earlier, so the number of sliding symbols is 0. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 20, the bita stops (slip 0 frames), and the plum (blue) stops at the lower window position of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 60E).

FIG. 61 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is next stopped at the symbol number 19 of the left drum 2a,
Since this is a forward push, the stop table in FIG. 59A (when lost: forward push) is selected and the slip number data is recognized as 2 (see FIGS. 61A and 61B). In this case, symbol number 17 obtained by subtracting 2 from the slip number data from symbol number 19 is score 2, and other symbol numbers (positions of four frames of symbol numbers 19, 18, 16, 15) are all 1 points. As a result, since the symbol number 17 is the highest score, the number of pieces of sliding symbols is 2. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of the symbol number 20, two frames are slid and FIG. ) Similar to the right figure, the black bar stops at the lower window position of the left drum 2a (see FIG. 61C).

Assuming that the stop operation is performed at symbol number 19 of the middle drum 2b, the main control unit 100 performs reverse pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 selects the stop table (when lost: reverse pressing) shown in FIG.
It is recognized that a score of 9 is 3, a score of symbol number 18 is 1, a score of symbol number 17 is 2, a score of symbol number 16 is 1, and a score of symbol number 15 is 1. As a result, since the symbol number 19 is the highest score, the sliding frame number data is 0. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 19, the bita stops (slip 0 frame) and the bell stops at the lower window position of the middle drum 2b as in the right diagram of FIG. 61 (D)).

Assuming that the stop operation is performed at symbol number 19 of the right drum 2c, the main control unit 100 performs reverse pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 selects the stop table (when lost: reverse pressing) of FIG.
It is recognized that a score of 9 is 1, a score of symbol number 18 is 2, a score of symbol number 17 is 1, a score of symbol number 16 is 3, and a score of symbol number 15 is 3. As a result, symbol number 16 and symbol number 1
Although 5 is the same highest score, since the symbol number 16 is selected with priority given to the fact that the reel stops earlier, the sliding frame number data is 3. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 20, the frame slides and the bell stops at the lower window position of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 61E).

  FIG. 62 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

When the main control unit 100 is in a lost state using the method described with reference to FIGS. 60 and 61, the main control unit 100 sequentially calculates the number of sliding symbols for the remaining virtual stop operation symbol positions (symbol number 18 to symbol number 1). Then, the sliding frame number table is completed (see FIG. 62). As a result, the number of sliding symbols for all stop operation positions has been created in advance, and no calculation time is required for the symbol stop process regardless of the position of the rotating drum unit 2 by the player. So
The main control unit 100 may move and stop the drum unit 2 by the number of sliding frames at the moment of pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 can neatly arrange the symbols on the effective line of the drum unit 2.

FIG. 63 is a schematic diagram showing in time series the symbol display states of the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the window portion.

The left figure in FIG. 63 (C) is the same as the right figure in FIG. 61 (C), and it is lost in the internal lottery (all condition devices are not standing), and the player is given the symbol number 20 on the left drum 2a. One stop operation is performed, and the black bar of the symbol number 17 stops at the lower window position of the left drum 2a, indicating that the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c are fluctuating.

The main control unit 100 calls the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 until about 250 ms from which the second stop operation becomes possible after the first stop operation time, and performs the second stop operation as follows. Complete the sliding frame number table.

First, the main control unit 100 refers to the stop table of FIG. 59A (in the case of a loss: forward press) from the first stop operation of the player (the forward press operation of the symbol number 20 of the left drum 2a), and the selection information Recognize data 0 and select “2nd cylinder score data and 3rd cylinder score data when first cylinder selection information is 0”.

The main control unit 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol row, while setting the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol row (left drum 2a) and the rotation flag to 1. The sliding frame number data corresponding to all the symbol frame positions is stored in the RAM 102 as a sliding frame number table.

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is first stopped at the symbol number 20 of the middle drum 2b,
Symbol number 2 according to the 2nd and 3rd body score data when the 1st body selection information is 0
It is recognized that the score of 0 is 1, the score of symbol number 19 is 3, the score of symbol number 18 is 3, the score of symbol number 17 is 3, and the score of symbol number 16 is 1. As a result, symbol number 19 and symbol number 1
8 and symbol number 17 are the same highest score, but priority is given to the reels stopping earlier,
Since the symbol number 19 is selected, the sliding frame number data is 1. That is, symbol number 2 actually
When the stop operation is performed at the 0 position, the bell slides by one frame and stops at the lower window position of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 63C).

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is next stopped at the symbol number 20 of the right drum 2c,
Similarly, the score of symbol number 20 is 1, the score of symbol number 19 is 1, the score of symbol number 18 is 3, the score of symbol number 17 is 1, and the score of symbol number 16 is 1. As a result, since the symbol number 18 is the highest score, the sliding frame number data is 2. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 20, the watermelon slides by two frames and stops at the lower window position of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 63D).

FIG. 64 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the window portion in time series.

The left figure of FIG. 64 (C) is the same as the left figure of FIG. 63 (C), the black bar of the symbol number 17 stops at the lower window position of the left drum 2a, and the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c change. It shows that.

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is next stopped at the symbol number 19 of the middle drum 2b,
It is recognized that the score of symbol number 19 is 3, the score of symbol number 18 is 3, the score of symbol number 17 is 3, the score of symbol number 16 is 1, and the score of symbol number 15 is 1. As a result, although symbol number 19, symbol number 18, and symbol number 17 are the same highest score, symbol number 19 is selected with priority given to the fact that the reels stop earlier, and therefore the number of sliding symbols is zero. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 19, the bita stops (slips 0 frames) and the bell moves to the middle drum 2
b stops at the lower window position (see FIG. 64C).

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is stopped at the symbol number 19 of the right drum 2c, the score of the symbol number 19 is 1, the score of the symbol number 18 is 3, the score of the symbol number 17 is 1, and the symbol number 16
It is recognized that the score of 1 is 1 and the score of symbol number 15 is 2. As a result, since the symbol number 18 is the highest score, the sliding frame number data is 1. That is, when the player actually performs a stop operation at the position of symbol number 19, the player slides one frame and the watermelon stops at the lower window position of the right drum 2c (FIG. 6).
4 (D)).

  FIG. 65 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

The main control unit 100 sequentially calculates the number of sliding symbols for the remaining virtual stop operation symbol positions (symbol number 18 to symbol number 1) when a loss occurs using the method described with reference to FIGS. Then, the sliding frame number table is completed (see FIG. 65). As a result, the number of sliding pieces for all stop operation positions has been created in advance, and the player can stop at any position on the rotating drum unit 2 (the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c). Since the calculation time required for the stop process becomes unnecessary, the main control unit 100 only has to move and stop the drum unit 2 by the number of sliding frames at the moment of pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 can neatly arrange the symbols on the effective line of the drum unit 2.

FIG. 66 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 66 (C) is the same as the right diagram of FIG. 63 (C), and it is lost in the internal lottery (all condition devices are not standing), and the player first stops at symbol number 20 of the left drum 2a. Manipulate,
The black bar of symbol number 17 stops at the lower window position of the left drum 2a, and the bell of symbol number 19 stops at the lower window position of the middle drum 2b, indicating that only the right drum 2c is changing. .

The main control unit 100 calls the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 until about 250 ms at which the third stopping operation becomes possible from the second stopping operation time point, and the sliding stop number for the third stopping operation is displayed. Complete a few tables.

The main control unit 100 has already selected the selection information data 0 from the player's first stop operation (forward push operation).
Is selected, and “2nd cylinder score data and 3rd cylinder score data when first cylinder selection information is 0” is selected.

The main control unit 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol row, sets the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol row (left drum 2a and middle drum 2b), and sets the rotation flag to 1. The number of sliding frame data corresponding to all symbol frame positions in the symbol row (right drum 2c)
It is stored as a sliding frame number table in M102.

Assume that the main control unit 100 is stopped at the symbol number 20 of the right drum 2c (FIG. 6).
6 (D)), according to the 2nd and 3rd trunk score data when the selection information of the 1st cylinder is 0, the score of symbol number 20 is 1, the score of symbol number 19 is 1, It is recognized that the score of number 18 is 3, the score of symbol number 17 is 1, and the score of symbol number 16 is 1. As a result, since the symbol number 18 is the highest score, the sliding frame number data is 2. That is, the actual design number 20
When the stop operation is performed at the position, the frame slides two frames and the watermelon stops at the lower window position of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 66E). Even if the stop operation is performed at symbol number 19 or symbol number 18 of the right drum 2c, the same stop state as in FIG.

  FIG. 67 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

When the main control unit 100 is in a lost state using the method described with reference to FIG. 66, the main control unit 100 sequentially calculates the number of sliding symbols for the remaining virtual stop operation symbol positions (symbol number 19 to symbol number 1), The sliding frame number table is completed (see FIG. 67). As a result, the number of sliding symbols for all stop operation positions has been created in advance, and no calculation time is required for the symbol stop process regardless of the position of the rotating drum unit 2 by the player. Therefore, the main control unit 1
00 should just move and stop the drum part 2 by the number of the sliding frames at the moment of being pushed. Therefore, the main control unit 100 can neatly arrange the symbols on the effective line of the drum unit 2. Note that the plum is in a tempered state on the second line (upper, upper, upper: upper horizontal line) shown in FIG. 24, but the internal lottery result is lost, so the plum symbol stops at the upper stage of the right drum 2c. There is no slip, and the number of sliding frames in the sliding frame number table is not won by Plum Minor.

  FIG. 68 is a structural diagram of the stop table (at the time of pushing-bell winning).

This stop table (when the push order bell is selected) is the same as the forward push table (FIG. 68).
(See (A)) and a reverse push table (see FIG. 68 (B)), and as specific numerical values given at the design stage in association with the stop operation position of each cylinder, selection information, slip Numeric data and score data are stored.

The procedure for creating the sliding frame number table will be described below assuming that the number 01 shown in FIG. 28 and FIG. In this case, as described above,
FR2 + FR5 + FR9 + FR13 condition devices (flags) are actuated at the same time, and in response to the player's operation of the stop button unit 10, FR2 bell bell bell, FR5 plum (red), plum (red), plum (red), FR9 plum (red), plum (blue), plum (blue) or FR
One of the thirteen plums (red), plums (white), and plums (white) wins or loses medals. As described above, the first stop operation is the left stop button 1
0a is “push order correct answer”, the priority symbol is a bell symbol, while the other first stop operation is “push order incorrect answer”, and the priority symbol is a plum symbol.

FIG. 69 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

When the number 01 is won internally, the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 is called to select the stop table of FIG. 68 corresponding to forward push or reverse push (when the push order bell is won), and the virtual stop operation symbol frame The number of sliding frames for the position is sequentially calculated to complete the sliding frame number table for the first stop operation.

The main controller 100 first selects the stop table in FIG. 68 (A) (when the push order bell is elected: forward push), assuming that the stop operation is performed with the symbol number 8 of the left drum 2a.
It is recognized that the selection information data 0 and the slip number data are 1. In this slip number data, the score of the symbol number considering the value from the pressed position is 2, and otherwise, the score is 1.
And In this case, symbol number 7 obtained by subtracting 1 of the slip number data from symbol number 8 is score 2
In other symbol numbers (symbol numbers 8, 6, 5, 4), the score is all 1
It becomes. As a result, it seems as if symbol number 7 is the highest score, but the symbol number is such that the pressing order is correct and there is a bell symbol of priority symbol at symbol number 4, and the bell symbol stops at the upper window position. Since 64 × 256 points are added to 6 to obtain the highest score (see step S350 and step S360 in FIG. 57), the number of sliding frames is finally set to 2. That is, when the pressing order is correct, the priority symbol becomes a bell, and when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8, the replay of symbol number 6 stops at the lower window position of the left drum 2a by sliding two frames ( (See FIG. 69C).

Assuming that the stop operation is next performed with the symbol number 8 of the middle drum 2b, the main control unit 100 performs reverse pressing, so the main control unit 100 selects the stop table in FIG. ,
It is recognized that the score of symbol number 8 is 1, the score of symbol number 7 is 0, the score of symbol number 6 is 2, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, and the score of symbol number 4 is 3. As a result, symbol number 4 has the highest score, but in addition, the push order is incorrect and there is a priority symbol plum (red) in symbol number 2, and plum (red) is the upper window position (or bell Since 64 × 256 points are added to the symbol number 4 so as to stop at a position that deviates from the effective line), the maximum score is obtained, so that the sliding frame number data is 4.
That is, when the pushing order is incorrect, the priority symbol becomes a plum, and when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8, it slides by 4 frames and the bell stops at the lower window position of the middle drum 2b (FIG. 69). (
D)).

Assuming that the stop operation is performed with the symbol number 8 of the right drum 2c, the main control unit 100 performs reverse pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 selects the stop table shown in FIG. It is recognized that the score of number 8 is 2, the score of symbol number 7 is 1, the score of symbol number 6 is 3, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, and the score of symbol number 4 is 0. As a result, symbol number 6 is the highest score, but in addition, the push order is incorrect and there is a priority symbol plum (red) in symbol number 5, and plum (red) is the middle window position (or bell Since 64 × 256 points are added to the symbol number 6 so as to stop at a position deviating from the effective line), the maximum score is obtained. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8, the bell slides by two frames and the bell is moved to the right drum 2c.
Stops at the lower window position (see FIG. 69E).

FIG. 70 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

If it is assumed that the stop operation is next performed with the symbol number 7 of the left drum 2a, the main control unit 100 selects the stop table shown in FIG. ,
It is recognized that the selection information data 0 and the slip number data are 0. As a result, it seems as if symbol number 7 is the highest score, but the symbol number is such that the pressing order is correct and there is a bell symbol of priority symbol at symbol number 4, and the bell symbol stops at the upper window position. Since 64 × 256 points are added to 6 to obtain the maximum score (see step S350 and step S360 in FIG. 57), the number of sliding frames is finally set to 1. That is, as in FIG. 69 (C), when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 7, the replay of symbol number 6 stops at the lower window position of the left drum 2a by sliding one frame (FIG. 70 (C)). )reference).

Assuming that the stop operation is next performed with symbol number 7 of the middle drum 2b, the main control unit 100 performs reverse pressing, so the main control unit 100 selects the stop table shown in FIG. ,
It is recognized that the score of symbol number 7 is 0, the score of symbol number 6 is 2, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, the score of symbol number 4 is 3, and the score of symbol number 3 is 1. As a result, symbol number 4 has the highest score, but in addition, the push order is incorrect and there is a priority symbol plum (red) in symbol number 2, and plum (red) is the upper window position (or bell Since 64 × 256 points are added to the symbol number 4 so as to stop at a position deviating from the effective line), the maximum score is obtained.
That is, as in FIG. 69 (D), when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 7, it slides by 3 frames and the bell stops at the lower window position of the middle drum 2b (see FIG. 70 (D)). .

Assuming that the stop operation is performed with the symbol number 7 of the right drum 2c, the main control unit 100 performs reverse pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 selects the stop table shown in FIG. It is recognized that the score of No. 7 is 1, the score of Symbol No. 6 is 3, the score of Symbol No. 5 is 0, the score of Symbol No. 4 is 0, and the score of Symbol No. 3 is 2. As a result, symbol number 6 is the highest score, but in addition, the push order is incorrect and there is a priority symbol plum (red) in symbol number 5, and plum (red) is the middle window position (or bell Since 64 × 256 points are added to the symbol number 6 so as to stop at a position deviating from the effective line), the maximum score is obtained. That is, as in FIG. 69 (E), when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 7, it slides by one frame and the bell stops at the lower window position of the right drum 2c (see FIG. 70 (E)). .

  FIG. 71 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

The main control unit 100 uses the method described in FIG. 69 and FIG. 70, and when the push order bell is won, the remaining virtual stop operation symbol position (symbol number 6 to symbol number 1 and symbol number 20 to symbol number 9). ) Is sequentially calculated to complete the sliding frame number table (FIG. 71).
reference). As a result, the number of sliding symbols relative to the symbol frame position when the stop switch corresponding to the drum unit 2 is stopped is changed based on the stop control data selected in accordance with the predetermined winning combination internally. The number of sliding symbols for all stop operation positions is created and stored in advance, and any position on the rotating drum unit 2 can be stopped by the player. Since the calculation time required for the symbol stop process is not required, the main control unit 100 may move and stop the drum unit 2 by the number of sliding frames at the moment of pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 can neatly arrange the symbols on the effective line of the drum unit 2.

FIG. 72 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

The left figure of FIG. 72 (C) is the same as the right figure of FIG. 69 (C), the push order bell is won in the internal lottery, and the player performs the first stop operation at the symbol number 8 of the left drum 2a, and the symbol number No. 6 replay stops at the lower window position of the left drum 2a (the bell of symbol number 4 is the upper window position of the left drum 2a), indicating that the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c are fluctuating.

The main control unit 100 calls the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 until about 250 ms from which the second stop operation becomes possible after the first stop operation time, and performs the second stop operation as follows. Complete the sliding frame number table.

First, the main control unit 100 refers to the stop table of FIG. 68 (A) (when the push order bell is elected: forward push) from the player's first stop operation (the forward push operation of the symbol number 8 of the left drum 2a). Then, the selection information data 0 is recognized, and “second cylinder score data and third cylinder score data when the first cylinder selection information is 0” is selected.

The main control unit 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol row, while setting the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol row (left drum 2a) and the rotation flag to 1. The sliding frame number data corresponding to all the symbol frame positions is stored in the RAM 102 as a sliding frame number table.

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is first stopped at symbol number 8 of the middle drum 2b, the symbol number is determined according to the second and third cylinder score data when the first cylinder selection information is 0. It is recognized that a score of 8 is 0, a score of symbol number 7 is 2, a score of symbol number 6 is 1, a score of symbol number 5 is 0, and a score of symbol number 4 is 3. As a result, it seems that symbol number 4 is the highest score, but the correct order is, the bell of the priority symbol is present in symbol number 4, and the symbol number 6 is stopped at the upper window position where the bell is tempered. Since x256 points are added to obtain the highest score, the sliding frame number data is 2. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8, the bell slides by two frames and stops at the upper window position of the middle drum 2b, and the second line on the effective line shown in FIG. The bell is in a tempered state (also referred to as “reach state”) on the line (see the right figure in FIG. 72C).

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is next stopped at the symbol number 8 of the right drum 2c, the score of symbol number 8 is 1, the score of symbol number 7 is 3, and the score of symbol number 6 is 0. It is recognized that the score of symbol number 5 is 0 and the score of symbol number 4 is 2. As a result, although symbol number 7 seems to be the highest score, 64 is assigned to symbol number 8 so that the pressing order is correct and there is a priority symbol bell at symbol number 6, and the bell stops at the upper window position where the bell is tempered. Since x256 points are added to obtain the highest score, the number of sliding frames is 0. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8, the bell stops at the upper window position of the right drum 2c with the bitter stop (0 frame slip), and the bell stops at the second line on the effective line. It will be in a state (refer the right figure of Drawing 72 (D)).

FIG. 73 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

The left figure of FIG. 73 (C) is the same as the left figure of FIG. 72 (C), the replay of the symbol number 6 stops at the lower window position of the left drum 2a, and the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c are fluctuating. It is shown that.

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is next stopped at symbol number 7 of the middle drum 2b, the score of symbol number 7 is 2, the score of symbol number 6 is 1, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, symbol number 4 The score of 3 is recognized and the score of symbol number 3 is 0. As a result, it seems as if symbol number 4 is the highest score, but symbol number 6 has a correct answer and the symbol number 4 has a priority symbol bell. Since 64 × 256 points are added to obtain the highest score, the sliding frame number data is 1. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 7, the frame slides by one frame, the bell stops at the upper window position of the middle drum 2b, and the bell enters the tempering state on the second line (FIG. 73 (C ) See right figure).

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is next stopped at the symbol number 7 of the right drum 2c, the symbol number 7 score is 3, the symbol number 6 score is 0, and the symbol number 5 score is 0. It is recognized that the score of symbol number 4 is 2 and the score of symbol number 3 is 1. As a result, it seems that symbol number 7 is the highest score, but the pressing order is correct, the symbol number 1 has the priority symbol bell within the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols 4, and the bell is in the upper window position where the balance is tempered. 64 to symbol number 3 to stop
Since x256 points are added to obtain the maximum score, the sliding frame number data is 4. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 7, the frame slides four frames, the bell stops at the upper window position of the right drum 2c, and the bell enters a tempering state on the second line on the effective line ( (See the right figure in FIG. 73 (D)).

  FIG. 74 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

The main control unit 100 uses the method described in FIG. 72 and FIG. 73, and when the push order bell is won, the remaining virtual stop operation symbol position (symbol number 6 to symbol number 1 and symbol number 20 to symbol number 9). ) Is sequentially calculated to complete the sliding frame number table (FIG. 74).
reference). As a result, the number of sliding symbols relative to the symbol frame position when the stop switch corresponding to the drum unit 2 is stopped is changed based on the stop control data selected in accordance with the predetermined winning combination internally. The number of sliding symbols for all stop operation positions is created and stored in advance, and any position on the rotating drum unit 2 can be stopped by the player. Since the calculation time required for the symbol stop process is not required, the main control unit 100 may move and stop the drum unit 2 by the number of sliding frames at the moment of pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 can neatly arrange the symbols on the effective line of the drum unit 2. As can be seen from the sliding frame number table, when the pushing order bell is won and the pushing order of the first stopping operation is correct, no matter how the second stopping operation is performed, the bell is placed on the second effective line. It is supposed to be a temper.

FIG. 75 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

FIG. 75 (C) is the same as the right diagram of FIG. 73 (C). In the internal lottery, the push order bell is won, and the player performs the first stop operation at the symbol number 8 of the left drum 2a. No. 6 replay stops at the lower window position of the left drum 2a (the bell of the symbol number 4 is the upper window position of the left drum 2a), and the watermelon of the symbol number 6 is the lower window position of the middle drum 2b (the bell of the symbol number 4). Is stopped at the upper window position of the middle drum 2b), the bell is in a tempered state, and only the right drum 2c is changing.

The main control unit 100 calls the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 until about 250 ms at which the third stopping operation becomes possible from the second stopping operation time point, and the sliding stop number for the third stopping operation is displayed. Complete a few tables.

The main control unit 100 has already selected the selection information data 0 from the player's first stop operation (forward push operation).
Is selected, and “2nd cylinder score data and 3rd cylinder score data when first cylinder selection information is 0” is selected.

The main control unit 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol row, sets the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol row (left drum 2a and middle drum 2b), and sets the rotation flag to 1. The number of sliding frame data corresponding to all symbol frame positions in the symbol row (right drum 2c)
It is stored as a sliding frame number table in M102.

It is assumed that the main control unit 100 is stopped at the symbol number 8 of the right drum 2c (FIG. 75).
(See (D)), according to the 2nd and 3rd body scoring data when the selection information of the 1st body is 0, the score of symbol number 8 is 1, the score of symbol number 7 is 3, and the symbol number Score 6 is 0, symbol number 5
It is recognized that the score is 0 and the score of symbol number 4 is 2. As a result, although symbol number 7 seems to be the highest score, 64 is assigned to symbol number 8 so that the pressing order is correct and there is a priority symbol bell at symbol number 6, and the bell stops at the upper window position where the bell wins. Since x256 points are added to obtain the highest score, the number of sliding frames is 0. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8,
The bita stops (slid 0 frames), the bell stops at the upper window position of the right drum 2c, and the bell wins the second line on the active line (see FIG. 75E).

FIG. 76 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is next stopped at symbol number 7 of the right drum 2c, the score of symbol number 7 is 3, the score of symbol number 6 is 0, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, symbol number 4 It is recognized that the score is 2 and the score of symbol number 3 is 1. As a result, it seems that symbol number 7 is the highest score, but there is a priority symbol bell in symbol number 1 in the correct pressing order, and symbol number 3 64 stops so that it stops at the upper window position where the bell wins. Since x256 points are added to obtain the maximum score, the sliding frame number data is 4. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 7, the maximum number of sliding frames is slipped by 4 frames, the bell stops at the upper window position of the right drum 2c, and the second line on the effective line is reached. Bell wins (see FIG. 75E).

  FIG. 77 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

The main control unit 100 uses the method described in FIG. 75 and FIG. 76, and when the push order bell is won, the remaining virtual stop operation symbol position (symbol number 6 to symbol number 1 and symbol number 20 to symbol number 9). ) Is sequentially calculated to complete the sliding frame number table (FIG. 77).
reference). As a result, the number of sliding symbols relative to the symbol frame position when the stop switch corresponding to the drum unit 2 is stopped is changed based on the stop control data selected in accordance with the predetermined winning combination internally. The number of sliding symbols for all stop operation positions is created and stored in advance, and any position on the rotating drum unit 2 can be stopped by the player. Since the calculation time required for the symbol stop process is not required, the main control unit 100 may move and stop the drum unit 2 by the number of sliding frames at the moment of pressing. Therefore, the main control unit 100 can neatly arrange the symbols on the effective line of the drum unit 2. As can be seen from the sliding frame number table, when the pushing order bell is won and the pushing order of the first stop operation is correct, the second stop operation and the third stop operation are performed no matter how the second stop operation is performed.
A bell is awarded on the active line and 15 medals are paid out. That is, the winning / non-winning of the bell is determined only by the first stop operation.

The first stop operation has been described with the left drum 2a as the correct pushing order. However, the same applies to the case where the first stop operation is the middle drum 2b or the right drum 2c. Because Bell always wins, the explanation is omitted.

FIG. 78 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the window portion in time series.

The left figure of FIG. 78 (C) is the same as the right figure of FIG. 69 (D), the pushing order bell is elected by internal lottery, and the player performs the first stop operation at the symbol number 8 of the middle drum 2b. The bell 4 stops at the lower window position of the middle drum 2b (the plum (red) of symbol number 2 is the upper window position of the middle drum 2b), indicating that the left drum 2a and the right drum 2c are fluctuating. Yes.

The main control unit 100 calls the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 until about 250 ms from which the second stop operation becomes possible after the first stop operation time, and performs the second stop operation as follows. Complete the sliding frame number table.

First, the main control unit 100 selects the stop table of FIG. 68 (B) (during the push order bell win: reverse push) from the player's first stop operation (reverse push operation of the symbol number 8 of the middle drum 2b). .

The main control unit 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol sequence, while setting the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol sequence (medium drum 2b) and the rotation sequence to 1. The sliding frame number data corresponding to all the symbol frame positions is stored in the RAM 102 as a sliding frame number table.

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is first stopped at symbol number 8 of the left drum 2a, the score of symbol number 8 is 0, the score of symbol number 7 is 3, the score of symbol number 6 is 3, and the symbol number 5 It is recognized that the score is 0 and the score of symbol number 4 is 0. As a result, symbol number 7 is the highest score, but in addition, the push order is incorrect and there is a priority symbol plum (red) in symbol number 5, so that it stops at the upper window position where the plum symbol is tempered. Since 64 × 256 points are added to symbol number 7 to obtain the highest score, the number of sliding frame data is 1. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8, the frame (red) of symbol number 5 slips by one frame and stops at the upper window position of the left drum 2a, as shown in FIG. The plum symbol is in a tempered state on the second line which is on the effective line (see the right figure in FIG. 78 (C)).

Next, assuming that the main control unit 100 is stopped at the symbol number 8 of the right drum 2c,
Similarly, the score of symbol number 8 is 2, the score of symbol number 7 is 1, the score of symbol number 6 is 3, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, and the score of symbol number 4 is 0. As a result, it seems as if symbol number 6 has the highest score, but the push order is incorrect and there is a priority symbol symbol in symbol number 5, so that plum (red) stops at the upper window position. 64 × 256 points are added to symbol number 7 to obtain the highest score (see step S350 and step S360 in FIG. 57).
Eventually, the sliding frame number data is 1. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8, the replay of symbol number 7 stops at the lower window position of the right drum 2c by sliding one frame, and FIG.
Similar to (C), the plum symbol is in a tempered state on the second line (see the right figure in FIG. 78 (D)).

  FIG. 79 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

The main control unit 100 uses the method described in FIG. 78, and when the push order bell is won, the main control unit 100 slips with respect to the remaining virtual stop operation symbol positions (symbol number 7 to symbol number 1 and symbol number 20 to symbol number 9). The number of frames is sequentially calculated to complete the sliding frame number table (see FIG. 79). As can be seen from the sliding frame number table, when the push order bell is won, the first stop operation is the middle drum 2b, and the push order is incorrect, the second effective line is performed when the second stop operation is performed. One of the Plum small roles is sure to make a temper.

FIG. 80 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

The left figure of FIG. 80 (C) is the same state as the right figure of FIG. 78 (C), and shows that the plum (red) symbol is tempered on the second line and only the right drum 2c is changing. .

The main control unit 100 calls the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 until about 250 ms at which the third stopping operation becomes possible from the second stopping operation time point, and the sliding stop number for the third stopping operation is displayed. Complete a few tables.

The main control unit 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol row, sets the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol row (left drum 2a and middle drum 2b), and sets the rotation flag to 1. The number of sliding frame data corresponding to all symbol frame positions in the symbol row (right drum 2c)
It is stored as a sliding frame number table in M102.

Assume that the main control unit 100 is stopped at the symbol number 8 of the right drum 2c (FIG. 80).
(C) Refer to the left figure), the score of symbol number 8 is 2, the score of symbol number 7 is 1, the score of symbol number 6 is 3, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, and the score of symbol number 4 is 0 recognize. As a result, it seems that symbol number 6 is the highest score, but even if the internal winning number 01 is pressed incorrectly, the FR5 plum (red), plum (red), and plums won at the same time There is a possibility of winning only for the red role (red), and there is a priority symbol plum (red) in symbol number 5, and 64 in symbol number 7 so that it stops at the upper window position where the plum (red) wins. Since x256 points are added to obtain the highest score, the sliding frame number data is 1. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8, the frame slides one frame, the plum (red) stops at the upper window position of the right drum 2c, and the plum (red) falls on the second line on the effective line. Wins (see the right figure in FIG. 80C).

On the other hand, assuming that the main control unit 100 is stopped at symbol number 18 of the right drum 2c (see the left diagram in FIG. 80F), the score of symbol number 18 is 2, the score of symbol number 17 is 1, It is recognized that the score of symbol number 16 is 3, the score of symbol number 15 is 0, and the score of symbol number 14 is 0. As a result, it seems as if the symbol number 16 is the highest score, but the replay of the priority symbol in the case where the plum small part is missed exists in the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols 4 and the replay is a spill of the plum small part. Since 64 × 256 points are added to the symbol number 14 so as to stop at the upper window position, the maximum score is obtained, and the sliding frame number data is 4. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 18, the replay stops at the upper window position of the right drum 2c after sliding four frames (FIG. 8).
0 (F) Refer to the right figure). Plums (red), plums (red), and replays, which are the spills of this small part of the plum, are also an opportunity to transition to the RT state, and when displayed on the active line, a high-probability replay state is entered.

  FIG. 81 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

When the push order bell is won using the method described in FIG. 80, the main control unit 100 performs the remaining virtual stop operation symbol position (symbol number 7 to symbol number 1, symbol number 20, symbol number 19 and symbol number). The number of sliding frames for 17 to symbol number 9) is sequentially calculated to complete the sliding frame number table (see FIG. 81). As can be seen from the sliding frame number table, even if the push order bell wins and the first stop operation is incorrect, the prize winning Plums won at the same time may rarely win, In most cases, the spilled portion of the plum small part stops and the payout becomes zero.

FIG. 82 is a schematic diagram showing in time series the symbol display states of the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the window portion.

The left figure of FIG. 82 (C) is the same state as the right figure of FIG. 78 (D), and shows that the plum (red) symbol is tempered on the second line and only the left drum 2a is fluctuating. .

The main control unit 100 calls the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 until about 250 ms at which the third stopping operation becomes possible from the second stopping operation time point, and the sliding stop number for the third stopping operation is displayed. Complete a few tables.

The main controller 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol row, sets the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol row (the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c), and sets the rotation flag to 1. The number of sliding frame data corresponding to all symbol frame positions in the symbol row (left drum 2a)
It is stored as a sliding frame number table in M102.

It is assumed that the main control unit 100 is stopped at the symbol number 8 of the left drum 2a (FIG. 82).
(C) Refer to the left figure), the score of symbol number 8 is 0, the score of symbol number 7 is 3, the score of symbol number 6 is 3, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, the score of symbol number 4 is 0 recognize. As a result, symbol number 7 is the highest score, but in addition, even if the internal winning number 01 is in the wrong order, the FR5 Plum (Red), Plum (Red), and Plum won simultaneously. There is a possibility of winning only for the small role of (red), there is a priority symbol plum (red) in symbol number 5, plum (red)
Since the maximum score is obtained by adding 64 × 256 points to symbol number 6 so as to stop at the position of the upper window where a prize is won, the sliding frame number data is 1. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8, the frame slides one frame, the plum (red) stops at the upper window position of the left drum 2a, and the plum (red) falls on the second line on the effective line. Wins (see the right figure in FIG. 82C).

On the other hand, assuming that the main control unit 100 is stopped at symbol number 18 of the left drum 2a (see the left diagram of FIG. 82 (F)), the score of symbol number 18 is 0, the score of symbol number 17 is 3, It is recognized that the score of symbol number 16 is 3, the score of symbol number 15 is 0, and the score of symbol number 14 is 0. As a result, although the symbol number 17 seems to be the highest score, the bell of the priority symbol in the case where the plum small part is missed exists within the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols 4 and the bell which is the spill of the plum small part Since the maximum score is obtained by adding 64 × 256 points to the symbol number 16 so that stops at the upper window position, the sliding frame number data is 2. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 18, the bell slides two frames and stops at the upper window position of the left drum 2a (see the right figure in FIG. 82 (F)). Bells, plums (red), and plums (red), which are the spills of the small part of the plum, are also an opportunity to transition to the RT state, and when displayed on the active line, a high-probability replay state is established.

  FIG. 83 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

When the pushing order bell is won using the method described in FIG. 82, the main control unit 100 performs the remaining virtual stop operation symbol position (symbol number 7 to symbol number 1, symbol number 20, symbol number 19 and symbol number). The number of sliding frames for 17 to symbol number 9) is sequentially calculated to complete the sliding frame number table (see FIG. 83). As can be seen from the sliding frame number table, even if the push order bell wins and the first stop operation is incorrect, the prize winning Plums won at the same time may rarely win, In most cases, the spilled portion of the plum small part stops and the payout becomes zero.

FIG. 84 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

The left diagram in FIG. 84 (C) is the same as the right diagram in FIG. 69 (E). In the internal lottery, the pushing order bell is won, and the player performs the first stop operation at the symbol number 8 of the right drum 2c. The bell 6 stops at the lower window position of the right drum 2c (the plum (red) of the symbol number 5 is the middle window position of the right drum 2c), indicating that the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b are fluctuating. Yes.

The main control unit 100 calls the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 until about 250 ms from which the second stop operation becomes possible after the first stop operation time, and performs the second stop operation as follows. Complete the sliding frame number table.

First, the main control unit 100 selects the stop table of FIG. 68 (B) (at the time of winning the pushing order bell: reverse pressing) from the player's first stopping operation (reverse pressing operation of the symbol number 8 of the right drum 2c). .

The main control unit 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol row, while setting the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol row (right drum 2c) and the rotation flag to 1. The sliding frame number data corresponding to all the symbol frame positions is stored in the RAM 102 as a sliding frame number table.

Assuming that the main control unit 100 is first stopped at symbol number 8 of the left drum 2a, the score of symbol number 8 is 0, the score of symbol number 7 is 3, the score of symbol number 6 is 3, and the symbol number 5 It is recognized that the score is 0 and the score of symbol number 4 is 0. As a result, it seems that symbol number 7 is the highest score, but the push order is incorrect and there is a priority symbol symbol symbol number 5, and the plum (red) stops at the middle window position. As described above, 64 × 256 points are added to symbol number 6 to obtain the highest score (see step S350 and step S360 in FIG. 57), so that the number of sliding symbols is finally two. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of the symbol number 8, the frame is slipped by two frames, the replay of the symbol number 6 stops at the lower window position of the left drum 2a, and the plum symbol becomes the tempered state on the first line. (See the right figure in FIG. 84C).

Next, assuming that the main control unit 100 is stopped at the symbol number 8 of the middle drum 2b,
Similarly, it is recognized that the score of symbol number 8 is 1, the score of symbol number 7 is 0, the score of symbol number 6 is 2, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, and the score of symbol number 4 is 3. As a result, it seems as if symbol number 4 is the highest score, but the push order is incorrect and there is a priority symbol symbol symbol in symbol number 7, and the plum (white) stops at the middle window position. 64 × 256 points are added to symbol number 8 to obtain the highest score (see step S350 and step S360 in FIG. 57).
Eventually, the sliding frame number data becomes zero. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 8, the black bar of symbol number 8 stops at the lower window position of the middle drum 2b with bitter stop (0 frame slip), and the plum symbol on the first line. Becomes a tempered state (see the right figure in FIG. 84D).

  FIG. 85 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

The main control unit 100 uses the method described with reference to FIG. 84, and when the push order bell is won, the main control unit 100 slides with respect to the remaining virtual stop operation symbol positions (symbol number 7 to symbol number 1 and symbol number 20 to symbol number 9). The number of frames is sequentially calculated to complete the sliding frame number table (see FIG. 85). As can be seen from the sliding frame number table, when the push order bell is won, the first stop operation is the right drum 2c, and the push order is incorrect, the first stop line is performed when the second stop operation is performed. One of the Plum small roles is sure to make a temper.

FIG. 86 is a schematic diagram showing the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

The left figure in FIG. 86 (C) is the same state as the right figure in FIG. 84 (C) and shows that the plum (red) symbol is tempered on the first line and only the middle drum 2b is fluctuating. .

The main control unit 100 calls the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 until about 250 ms at which the third stopping operation becomes possible from the second stopping operation time point, and the sliding stop number for the third stopping operation is displayed. Complete a few tables.

The main control unit 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol row, sets the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol row (left drum 2a and right drum 2c), and sets the rotation flag to 1. The number of sliding frame data corresponding to all symbol frame positions in the symbol row (medium drum 2b)
It is stored as a sliding frame number table in M102.

It is assumed that the main control unit 100 is stopped at symbol number 7 of the middle drum 2b (FIG. 86).
(C) Refer to the left figure), the score of symbol number 7 is 0, the score of symbol number 6 is 2, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, the score of symbol number 4 is 3, and the score of symbol number 3 is 1. recognize. As a result, it seems that symbol number 4 is the highest score, but even if the internal winning number 01 is pressed incorrectly, the FR5 plum (red), plum (red), and plums won at the same time There is a possibility of winning only for the red role (red). There is a priority symbol plum (red) in symbol number 2, and 64 in symbol number 3 so that it stops at the middle window position where the plum (red) wins. Since x256 points are added to obtain the maximum score, the sliding frame number data is 4. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 7, the slide (4 frames) slides and the plum (red) stops at the middle window position of the middle drum 2b, and the plum (red) is placed on the first line which is on the effective line. Wins (see the right figure in FIG. 86C).

On the other hand, assuming that the main control unit 100 is stopped at symbol number 18 of the middle drum 2b (see the left diagram in FIG. 86 (F)), the score of symbol number 18 is 1, the score of symbol number 17 is 0, It is recognized that the score of symbol number 16 is 2, the score of symbol number 15 is 0, and the score of symbol number 14 is 3. As a result, it seems that symbol number 14 is the highest score, but the replay of the priority symbol in the case of missing the small part of the plum exists within the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols 4 and the replay that is the spill of the small point of the plum Since the maximum score is obtained by adding 64 × 256 points to the symbol number 16 so as to stop at the middle window position, the sliding frame number data is 2. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 18, the replay stops at the middle window position of the middle drum 2b by sliding two frames (FIG. 8).
6 (F) Refer to the right figure). Plums (red), replays, and plums (red), which are spills of the plum small part, are also a trigger for transitioning to the RT state. When displayed on the active line, a high-probability replay state is established.

  FIG. 87 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

When the pushing order bell is won using the method described in FIG. 86, the main control unit 100 performs the remaining virtual stop operation symbol frame positions (symbol number 6 to symbol number 1, symbol number 20, symbol number 19 and symbol number). The number of sliding frames for 17 to symbol number 9) is sequentially calculated to complete the sliding frame number table (see FIG. 87). As can be seen from the sliding frame number table, even if the push order bell wins and the first stop operation is incorrect, the prize winning Plums won at the same time may rarely win, In most cases, the spilled portion of the plum small part stops and the payout becomes zero.

FIG. 88 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the stop table, the sliding frame number table, and the window portion in time series.

The left figure of FIG. 88 (C) is the same state as the right figure of FIG. 84 (D), the plum (white) stops in the middle stage of the middle drum 2b, and the plum (red) stops in the middle stage of the right drum 2c, and the plum design is the first. A temper on one line shows that only the left drum 2a is fluctuating.

The main control unit 100 calls the sliding frame number table generation processing subroutine of FIG. 57 until about 250 ms at which the third stopping operation becomes possible from the second stopping operation time point, and the sliding stop number for the third stopping operation is displayed. Complete a few tables.

The main controller 100 sets the rotation flag to 1 for the rotating symbol row, sets the rotation flag to 0 for the stopped symbol row (the middle drum 2b and the right drum 2c), and sets the rotation flag to 1. The number of sliding frame data corresponding to all symbol frame positions in the symbol row (left drum 2a)
It is stored as a sliding frame number table in M102.

It is assumed that the main control unit 100 is stopped at the symbol number 7 of the left drum 2a (FIG. 88).
(C) Refer to the left figure), the score of symbol number 7 is 3, the score of symbol number 6 is 3, the score of symbol number 5 is 0, the score of symbol number 4 is 0, the score of symbol number 3 is 0 recognize. As a result, it seems that symbol number 7 is the highest score, but in addition to the fact that the internal winning number 01 is pressed in the wrong order, the symbol of FR5, FR9 or FR13 that is won at the same time is the first line The upper tempering symbols (plum (white) in the middle stage of the middle drum 2b and plums (red) in the middle stage of the right drum 2c) are both different. In this case, the plum (red) of the pattern number 5 is placed in the middle stage of the left drum 2a. You can't stop at the window position and win the Plum Prize. Then, the bell of the priority symbol in the case where the plum small part is missed exists in the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols 4 and the bell which is the spill of the plum small part stops at the middle window position 64. Since x256 points are added to obtain the highest score, the sliding frame number data is 2. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 7, the frame number 4 slides and the bell of symbol number 4 stops at the middle window position of the left drum 2a (FIG. 88 (
C) See right figure). Bells, plums (white), and plums (red), which are spills of the small part of the plum, are also an opportunity to transition to the RT state, and when displayed on the active line, a high-probability replay state is established.
If FR11 (Plum (Red), Plum (White), Plum (Red)) is selected at the same time, the Plum (Red) with symbol number 5 stops at the middle window position of the left drum 2a. FR11 wins the first line.

On the other hand, assuming that the main control unit 100 is stopped at symbol number 18 of the left drum 2a (see the left diagram in FIG. 88 (F)), the score of symbol number 18 is 0, the score of symbol number 17 is 3, It is recognized that the score of symbol number 16 is 3, the score of symbol number 15 is 0, and the score of symbol number 14 is 0. As a result, it seems that symbol number 17 is the highest score, but in addition to the fact that the internal winning number 01 is in the wrong order, the symbol of FR5, FR9 or FR13 that is simultaneously selected is the first line Upper pie design (plum (white) and right drum 2c
Plums (red) in the middle are both different, and in this case, Plum (white) with symbol number 15
Can be stopped at the middle window position of the left drum 2a, and a prize for winning a plum cannot be won. Then, the bell of the priority symbol in the case where the plum small part is missed exists within the range of the maximum number of sliding frames 4, and the bell which is the minor part of the plum small part stops at the middle window position 64. ×
Since 256 points are added to obtain the highest score, the number of sliding frames is 3. That is, when the stop operation is actually performed at the position of symbol number 18, the bell of symbol number 14 slides three frames and the left drum 2a
Stops at the middle window position (see the right figure in FIG. 88 (F)). Bells, plums (white), and plums (red), which are spills of the small part of the plum, are also an opportunity to transition to the RT state, and when displayed on the active line, a high-probability replay state is established. Note that FR29 (Plum (white), Plum (white),
When Plum (red) is selected at the same time, Plum (white) with symbol number 15 is left drum 2
a stops at the middle window position of a, and FR11 wins the first line.

  FIG. 89 is a structural diagram of the sliding frame number table.

The main control unit 100 uses the method described in FIG. 88, and when the pushing order bell is won, the remaining virtual stop operation symbol frame positions (symbol number 6 to symbol number 1, symbol number 20, symbol number 19 and symbol number). The number of sliding frames for 17 to symbol number 9) is sequentially calculated to complete the sliding frame number table (see FIG. 89). As can be seen from the sliding frame number table, in this case, the spilled portion of the plum small part always stops and the payout becomes zero.

As described above, the gaming machine of the present invention has 20 frames of symbols per frame on one reel drum, and a variable display that rotates the three reel drums from top to bottom in conjunction with the start operation. A game is started, and a bonus combination and a plurality of small combinations are simultaneously won by random lottery. Select the stop table (or stop control data) according to this internal winning combination,
Based on the stop operation of the stop switch corresponding to the reel drum, each reel drum is stopped within the range of the maximum number of slips of 4 frames. Based on the selected stop table (or stop control data), the number of sliding frames for the stop operation frame positions of all the reel drums rotating in advance is calculated before the stop switch can be operated. The sliding frame number data is stored. Then, the position of the symbol frame where the stop switch is actually stopped is detected, and the reel drum is stopped at the number of sliding frames corresponding to the detected position.

If there is a reel drum that has already stopped, the number of sliding symbols is calculated based on the stop control data selected according to the predetermined winning combination and the symbol on the effective line of the reel drum.

In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 is a symbol display game in which three symbol strings in which a plurality of symbols are drawn in one frame unit are rotated, and a predetermined role is played by lottery drawing. It causes the internal winning, based on the stop operation of the stop switch provided corresponding to a predetermined combination及 beauty three symbol row internally won, the symbol columns within mobile predetermined number of frames that have been allowed symbol In the gaming machine to be stopped , based on the winning lottery result and the operation of the stop switch, the symbol row control means for individually stopping the three rotating cylinders, and the notification for informing the operation order of the stop switch There are a plurality of kinds of push order small roles in the internal winning combination in the role lottery, and the push order small role is a combination of a first small role and three second small roles. At the same time in the lottery, Any of a plurality of second small roles can be won, and the payout of the first small role is the same as the payout of the second small role. If one of the types of push order small wins is won internally, if the first stop operation of the stop switch is an operation order for winning the first small role, the first small role symbol is stopped on the active line. Then, when the corresponding symbol row is stopped by the second stop operation, the first small role is on the active line by stopping the first small role symbol. While the first small role is won by the stop operation, if the first stop operation of the stop switch is not the operation order for winning the first small role, it is possible to draw in the three second small roles. Stop the second small role symbol within the number of frames on the active line One second small role is ready for winning, the other two second small roles are not ready for winning, and the second small role that is ready for winning is displayed by two stop operations of the stop switch. When the predetermined condition is established, the notifying means notifies the operation order of the stop switch for winning the first small combination of the push order small combination that has been won internally .
