Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a game is played using a plurality of holes formed on a wheel, such as a roulette game machine or a lotto game machine. In particular, the present invention relates to a gaming machine in which the payout rate can be controlled without changing the wheel design by paying out the game media delivered when the predetermined bonus hole is determined by the pointing device among the holes formed on the wheel, thus a variety of games.

Prior art

In a slot machine where a game is played by predicting a winning number, for example, a roulette machine, a lotto machine, or a keno machine, holes (indentations) that are assigned distinctive numbers (for example, in a roulette game machine). - numbers 00, 0, 1-36) are formed on the wheel, and a lottery of the winning number is held by specifying any of the holes on the wheel, using a rolling object such as a ball rolling on the wheel.

And it is desirable that such a gaming machine be created so that the payout rate is manageable within a predetermined range according to the country, district and gaming arcade where the gaming machine is installed. However, in such a gaming machine, in which the lottery is conducted using the wheel and the ball mentioned above, the lottery is held by a physical (constructive) device other than a slot machine or a poker machine, in which the lottery is conducted by means of software control, therefore the physical design for the lottery must be changed to manage the rate of payment. Here, in particular, an explanation will be given by displaying a roulette machine as an example. In the roulette slot machine, special holes (grooves) corresponding to 0 (single zero) and 00 (double zero) are provided in addition to the holes corresponding to the distinguishing numbers 1-36 as natural numbers, thus the rate of payout is controlled. Additionally, a not yet passed examination of Japanese Publication No. 2004-97487 disclosed a lotto game machine, which, in addition to a plurality of holes for indicating (defining) symbols based on the fact that the lottery ball falls into each of the holes, provides a passage to the lottery ball passes, and the lottery is held, whether the lottery ball has re-entered the bonus well, and if the lottery ball hits the bonus well, the player is paid a reward.

However, as with the conventional gaming machine mentioned above, if a wheel is used that has a special pass or a special hole of type 0 or 00 in addition to normal holes, whereby the pay rate is controlled, many types of wheels are required according to the number of pay rates required to change it. (for example, in the case when the wheels can be controlled by three types of payout rates, three types of wheels are required).

Here, the number of gaming machines that use the wheel installed in one gaming arcade, such as roulette machines, lotto machines, or keno machines, is decreasing. And since the price of such a gaming machine is large, usually such a gaming machine is not produced in mass production, and they begin to make it after the order is received from the gaming arcade. Therefore, each of the parts used for the gaming machine generally becomes very expensive, and it becomes a great burden for the gaming arcade to prepare many kinds of parts to control the payout rate. Additionally, it is difficult to partially change or repair parts.

In the aforementioned gaming machine, since it is usual in the game to be played each time in a sequence of games to roll a ball on a wheel and determine a winning number, there is a fear that players lose interest in the game when such games are played in a repeated manner.

Thus, it is desirable to have a gaming machine in which the payout rate can be controlled by using a wheel having the same design in a conventional gaming machine, and it was possible to provide various games.

On the other hand, when in a regular gaming machine this is a profitable reward to players, for example, a special payout or a bonus game, is provided by forming special recesses (holes) on the wheel in addition to regular holes, the chances of paying a lot of game media are increased compared to the gaming machine in which only the main game is played, so there will be a tendency for a wave to appear on payout. However, the above-mentioned gaming machine is designed so that when games are played for a considerable time, the game state is reduced to the receipt and issuance state (for example, the payout rate is 80%) of the game media, which is predetermined. Therefore, there will be a case that a lot of game media has been received, despite the fact that little game media has been spent, or a case where only a small amount of game media can be received, although a lot of game media has been spent.

In this case, although there is a tendency to increase excitement and interest in the game increases, on the other hand, there will be a case that players lose their expectation towards games based on

- 1 010930 that a profitable result does not occur for a long time, as a result there will be a tendency when players (consumers) do not wish to launch such games.

In part 67 of the result display, SA8NOIT displays the number (s) of bets set by the player in the previous game, and the number of credits to pay in cash. Here, the amount obtained by subtracting the amount of the bet from the number of credits of SA8NOIT is the number of credits, which was again obtained in the previous game by the player.

Additionally, in the number of credits display section 68, the number of credits currently received by the player is displayed. This number of credits decreases according to the size of the bet (one credit versus one bet) when chips are placed. In the case when the winnings are received for the put chips and the loan is paid in money, the number of credits for the paid amount of chips increases. Here, when the number of credits received by a player becomes “0”, the game ends.

Additionally, in the top position of the rate table panel 60, a BET time display portion 69 is provided. This part 69 of the display of BET time displays the remaining time during which the player can make bets. At the beginning of the acceptance of a bet operation, the number 20 is displayed, and this number decreases after every 1 second, and when the number becomes 0, the acceptance of the bet operation ends. And, if the remaining time allowed for the player becomes 5 seconds in each station 4, the ball ejection device is activated and the ball 27 is thrown onto the roulette wheel.

Further, on the right side of the BET time display portion 69, a 1P display portion 73 is provided to represent the number of 1P credits accumulated so far. Here, the 1P display part 73 displays the number of credits, which is calculated by accumulatively adding 0.5% of credits raised at all 12 stations 4, and the total value is displayed at all stations 4. Additionally, in the case when the predetermined condition is satisfied in the ΙΡ-bonus a game (game with a bonus of 1P), which occurs at a predetermined timing, wins 1P, and the number of credits of the jackpot (1P) is paid, after which the initial value (for example, 50,000 credits) is displayed in display portion 73 of 1P. Here, as for the number of 1P credits accumulated to date, this number of credits is also displayed in the display portion 15 of the amount of 1P (see FIG. 1) in addition to the display portion 73 of 1P.

On the rate table panel 60, a cursor 70 is displayed indicating the 72 BET area that the player currently selects. A 71 chip mark is displayed, indicating the number of chips that have been placed so far, and the BET area 72 is displayed, and the number displayed on the 71 chip mark indicates the number of chips placed. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the chip mark 71, equal to 7, set on the square 18, indicates that 7 chips are placed on number 18. Here the method of betting on only one number is called a direct bet.

The 71 chip mark, equal to 1, set at the cross point of the squares 5, 6, 8, 9, indicates that one chip is set to cover four numbers 5, 6, 8, 9. Here the four-number bet method is called the angular rate.

As for other betting methods, there is a split bet for a bet on a line between two numbers to cover two numbers, a bet per line (straight) for a bet on the end of a horizontal line (in Fig. 6, a vertical line) of numbers to cover three numbers ( for example, 13, 14, 15), a bet of five to bet on the line between the numbers 00 and 3 so as to cover five numbers 0, 00, 1, 2, 3, a bet on the line to put between two horizontal rows (on Fig. 6, two vertical lines) of numbers to cover six numbers (for example, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18), a bet on poison to square, described as 2 to 1 to cover 12 numbers, and a dozen bet for a square rate, described as 1st 12, 2nd 12, 3rd 12, to respectively cover 12 numbers . Additionally, there is a betting method to encompass 18 numbers on the grounds whether the color of the number plate is red or black, whether the number is an odd number or an even number, a number less than 18 or more than 19, using the six squares provided in bottom of the rate table panel 60. Here, in each of the bet methods mentioned above, the payment of credits (payout ratio) per chip, respectively, is different when the winnings are received for the put chips.

When a player makes a bet on the BET screen picture 61, performed as described above, the player first indicates the BET area 72 (the number and square of the label or a line of squares forming squares) to put on the screen image and directly presses with a finger. As a result, the cursor 70 moves to the specified area 72 BET.

After that, the player presses one of the buttons 66 of the combined bet (button 66 A 1 BET,

- 8 010930 button 66В 5 BET, button 66С 10 BET, button 66Ό 100 BET), so the chips corresponding to the combined number put on the specified area 72 BET. For example, when a player presses the button 66C 10 BET four times, the button 66B 5 BET once and the button 66A 1 BET three times, a total of 48 chips can be placed.

The design of the control system in the roulette slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment is described below with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a block diagram schematically representing a control system of a roulette game machine.

An electronic display device 5 is connected to the server control CPU 81 (see FIG. 1). And, the server control CPU 81 controls the electronic display device 5 to perform lighting effects by controlling the light emission of a light emitting device, such as LEDs, and to display predetermined symbols on the electronic display device 5. Further, in particular, the server control CPU 81 controls the electronic display device 5 to display the accumulated amount 1P, which is preset in the display portion 15 of the 1P amount of the electronic display device 5.

As shown in FIG. 9, ROM 82 provides a payable credit storage area 82A, in which the accrual rate associated with playing roulette is maintained by using the BETTED screen 61 image. Here, under the accrual rate corresponding to each of the 72 BET areas from the rate image 61 stored in the storage area 82A of the repayable loan, one of the values of the coefficient x2-x36 is determined in advance and saved according to the type of rate method (direct rate, angular rate, split rate and etc.).

As shown in FIG. 10, in the RAM 83, a bet information storage area 83A is provided for storing information about a player’s bet during the game, a winning number storage area 83B for storing a winning number of the roulette device 3 defined by the win determination device 83 C 1P accumulation storage area for storing the number of credits , obtained by cumulative summation of 0.5% of the number of credits put on the BETT 61 screen image (see Fig. 6), and the storage area of the installation of the bonus well to save the information tion to select bonus well mounted on the display 42 Fitting hole bonus (see. Fig. 5). Here, in particular, betting information means information regarding the betting operation conducted using station 4, for example, the BETTEN area 72 indicated on the BETTAY screen 61, the number of chips staked (the bet amount) and the bet method.

The following describes the control system of the station 4 connected to the server 13 in the first embodiment,

- 9 010930 Substance with reference to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a block diagram schematically representing a control system of a station 4 according to a first embodiment. Here, each of the 12 stations 4 has basically the same design, so the explanation will be given according to one station 4.

As shown in FIG. 8, station 4 consists of a station control part 90 and some surrounding devices. The station control part 90 has a station control CPU 91, a ROM 92 and a RAM 93. The ROM 92, for example, consists of a semiconductor memory, and programs 92 for implementing the basic functions of the station 4 and various programs and data tables required for controlling the station 4 are stored in the ROM 92. RAM 93 is a memory to temporarily store various data calculated by the station management CPU 91, the number of credits (stored in station 4) currently available to the player, and the status of the player’s bet stakes.

And to the CPU 91 of the station management are connected the button 47 confirming BETTING, button 48 SA8NOIT and button 49 HENR, which are all provided in the control part 7 (see Fig. 1). And, the station control CPU 91 performs control to execute various processes corresponding to the buttons based on the outputs of the operations from the buttons. In particular, based on the input signal supplied from the control part 7 when the player performs an input operation, and data and programs stored in the ROM 92, RAM 93, the station control CPU 91 performs various processes. And, the station control CPU 91 transmits their result to the server control CPU 81 mentioned above.

On the other hand, the station control CPU 91 receives a control signal from the server control CPU 81 and controls the surrounding devices forming station 4, thus playing a roulette game in station 4. And the station control CPU 91 performs various processes according to the contents of the processes based on the input signal supplied from the control part 7 when the input operation is done by the player and the data and programs stored in the ROM 92, RAM 93. Additionally, based on their results, the station control CPU 91 controls the surrounding devices ystvami forming station 4 is thereby performed roulette game in the station 4.

A coin acceptor 94 is connected to the station management CPU 91. The coin acceptor 94 pays a predetermined number of tokens from the hole 9 for payment of the tokens (see FIG. 1) based on the control signal issued from the station management CPU 91.

Additionally, an image display device is connected to the station control CPU 91 via the liquid crystal control circuit 95. Here, the liquid crystal control circuit 95 consists of program ROM, image ROM, image control CPU, working RAM, CED (Video Display Processor), and video RAM. The programs ROM and the image management programs and various data tables related to the display on the image display device 8 are stored in the program ROM. In the image ROMs, for example, point data for forming images displayed on the image display device 8 are stored. And the image management CPU determines images displayed on the image display device 8 among the point data stored in advance in the image ROM according to the image control program stored in advance in the program ROM, based on a preset of the parameters of the station control CPU 91. And, the working RAM is used as a temporary memory when the image management program is executed by the image management CPU. Additionally, the WED generates images corresponding to the displayed content determined by the image management CPU, and outputs the images to the image display device 8. Here the video RAM is created as a temporary memory when the images are formed by means of the WED.

Further, the touch panel 50 is located in front of the image display device 8, and the operation information of the touch panel 50 is transmitted to the station control CPU 91. With the help of the touch panel 50, the player performs the operation of betting chips on the screen image 61 BET. In particular, the selection of the BET region 72 and the operations of the combined BET button 66 are carried out on the touch panel 50, and such operational information is transmitted to the station control CPU 91. Based on this operational information, information about the current bet of the player (the BET area indicated in the BET screen picture 61 and the number of chips put in) is arbitrarily stored. Additionally, such rate information is transmitted to the server management CPU 81 and stored in the rate information storage area in the RAM 83.

Further, the audio output circuit 96 and the loudspeaker 10 are coupled to the station control CPU 91, and the loudspeaker 10 outputs various sound effects when various effects are performed based on the output signal from the audio output circuit 96.

The 97 sensor sensor is connected to the station control CPU 91. The token 97 sensor detects the tokens inserted from the token insertion part 6 (see FIG. 1) and counts the inserted tokens, and transmits this result to the station control CPU 91. The station control CPU 91 increases the number of credits received by the player, stored in RAM 93, based on the signal transmitted from the sensor 97 tokens.

To the CPU 91 of the station control is connected lamp 11 WIN. The station control CPU 91 repeats the ON / OFF lamp 11 WINNING in a repetitive manner when the game state

- 10 010930 the game goes to a special bonus game, which occurs on the basis of the fact that the ball 27 falls into the bonus hole 24, as mentioned below. Thus, the effect is that the station 4, in which the PLAY 11 lamp is turned on, sequentially moves in a clockwise direction. Based on the result of the lottery in a special bonus game, when a win is received in a special bonus game, the operation of turning on the lamp 11 WINS stops while maintaining the state in which the lamp 11 WINS is turned on in station 4 in which the winnings are received. Thus, the player is notified of the winning result in a special bonus game. When a win or a win of 1P is obtained for the chips delivered by means of the screen image 61 BET, the lamp 11 WINS turns on in a predetermined color.

Below with reference to FIG. 11 and 12, a game process program in the server executed by the server control CPU 81 in the roulette game machine 1 according to the first embodiment, and the game process program in the station, executed by the station control CPU 91 in the station 4 are described. Here, the programs are shown as a sequence The operations in FIG. 11 and 12 are stored in the ROM 82 and the RAM 83 provided in the server 13, and in the ROM 92 and the RAM 93 provided in the station 4, and executed by the server control CPU 81 and the station control CPU 91.

First, with reference to FIG. 11 and 12 describe the program of the game process in the station. In the step (abbreviated as 8 below) 1, it is determined by the station control CPU 91 whether the player has inserted the tokens or coins based on the detection signal emitted from the tokens 97. And, if it is determined that no tokens or coins are inserted (81: NO), the procedure waits until tokens or coins are inserted. On the other hand, if it is determined that the tokens or coins are inserted (81: YES), the procedure goes to step 82.

At step 82, the credit data for the amount corresponding to the inserted quantity is stored in the RAM 93. Then, at step 83, a token insertion signal is transmitted to the server 13 instructing that the tokens or coins are inserted.

At step 84, the BET screen image 61 shown in FIG. 6, is displayed on the image display device 8 of the station 4, and the bet time during which the player can place chips begins to count (85). During the betting time, when the betting operation can be accepted, the player participating in the game can place chips in the 72 BET area, relative to the number that the player predicts (see Fig. 6). Here, since the specific betting method using the screen image 61 BET has already been explained, its explanation will be omitted.

And the player can participate in the game in which the time of the bet began to count, even after the game has started, and a maximum of 12 players can start the game in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Additionally, if an existing game is played continuously following the previous game, the acceptance of the bet operation begins immediately after the previous game is over.

In step 86, if a rate complete time signal is received from the server management CPU 81 instructing that the bet time is completed, an image indicating that the bet time is finished is displayed on the station 4 image display device 8, thus completing the acceptance of the bet operation by the touch panel 50 ( 87). After that, information about the bet (specified area 72 BET and the number of chips (bet value) delivered to the specified area 72 BET) is transmitted, which takes place on the basis of the player’s operation (88).

In step 89, the lottery result in the lottery process of the bonus game 1P (8109, mentioned below) performed by the server control CPU 81 is obtained from the server 13. Here the result of the lottery bonus game 1P includes the lottery result regarding whether a predetermined bonus game occurs 1P in each of stations 4, and a lottery result regarding which station 4 among 12 stations 4 results in a 1P win (or a 1P win is lost in all stations 4) in the event that a 1P bonus game takes place.

Then, at step 810 in FIG. 12, the station management CPU 91 determines whether the 1P bonus game occurs based on the lottery result obtained during the 1P bonus game lottery process adopted in step 89. And if it is determined that the 1P bonus game does not occur in station 4 (810: NO), the procedure proceeds to step 812.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the 1P bonus game occurs at station 4 (810: YES), a predetermined bonus game with a choice type relating to obtaining 1P is executed at step 811. And the result of the game (1P was received or not) is displayed on the image display device 8 based on the lottery result received in step 89.

Then, at step 812, it is determined whether the execution command of the special bonus game has been transferred from the server management CPU 81. Here, with regard to the special bonus game, in the case where the ball 27 enters the bonus hole 24 in the lottery of the winning number conducted by the roulette device 3, it is determined that the special bonus game is executed by the server management CPU 81, whereby the command is issued to execute it 91 station management (8123). However, since the special bonus game is not executed at station 4, when the bet value has not reached 10 bets (10 credits) in the current game, the special bonus game team is not given.

- 11 010930

And, if it is determined that the team performing a special bonus game is conducted (812: YES), the process of a special bonus game is performed at step 813. In the process of a special bonus game, lamp 11 WINS turns on and off with a predetermined time interval, and only lamp 11 WINS stations 4, in which a special bonus game win is obtained based on the result of the lottery, the server control CPU 81 is finally turned on. Here, FIG. 14 is a schematic view illustrating a state where the 11 WIN lamp is turned on in a special bonus game. As shown in FIG. 14, in a special bonus game, first the lamp 11 WINS in a predetermined station 4 is turned on and off after a predetermined time has elapsed (for example, 1 second). Then the lamp 11 WIN in the station 4, installed in the left adjacent position, turns on and similarly turns off after a predetermined time has elapsed. Below, similarly to the aforementioned, the on and off are repeated, so the effect can be made that station 4 with lamp ON 11 WINS moves in a clockwise direction. However, since the special bonus game was not completed at station 4, where the stake value did not reach 10 bets (10 credits) in the current game, the 11-WIN lamp does not turn on.

Based on the result of the lottery by the server management CPU 81 after the predetermined time has elapsed, the effect stops in the state when the lamp 11 WINS is turned on in station 4 where a special bonus game is won. Thus, it can be notified that station 4, in which the lamp 11 WINS finally turns on, is station 4, in which a special bonus game is won.

On the other hand, if the team performing a special bonus game is not conducted (812: NO), the procedure goes to step 814.

At step 814, the result of paying back the credits transmitted from the server management CPU 81 is received. Here, the result of the payout of credits consists of the payout result in the main game, conducted using the screen BETTING 61, the payout result of the DR held in the game with the bonus DR, and the payout result in the special bonus game.

Thereafter, at step 815, credits are paid out on the basis of the payment result obtained at step 814. In particular, the RAM 93, respectively, stores the payout data of the roulette game credits, which is the main game, credit data for the amount of DR accumulated by now, if the DR bonus game takes place, and such station 4 wins the DR and the data credits for the amount corresponding to all the credit amounts staged in all stations 4 in a real game, if station 4 wins in a special bonus game, which is due to the fact that the ball 27 falls into the bonus well 24. And after the button is pressed 48 SA8NOIT, tokens (usually one chip corresponds to one rate) corresponding to the number of credits stored in the RAM 93 now pays out opening 9 for payout.

After that, in the case where the game continues at any of the stations 4, the procedure returns to step 84, so the bet time starts again and the procedure goes to the next game.

On the other hand, if the game is over at all stations 4, the roulette game is over.

The following is described with reference to FIG. 11 and 12 is a server-side game process program. At step 8101, the server control CPU 81 receives the token detection signal transmitted from the station control CPU 91 at step 83, and determines whether the player has inserted the tokens or coins. In the roulette slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment, when tokens or coins are inserted into any of stations 4, a token making signal is transmitted to server control CPU 81 from station control station 91 from station 4 in which the tokens or coins were inserted.

And from the time when the player who first participates in the game inserts tokens or coins, the bet time during which the player can accept a bet operation starts counting (8102). Here, if the current game is played immediately after the previous game, the bet time starts counting immediately after the previous game is over. And the player participating in the game can place chips in the 72 BET area to the number predicted by the player using the touch panel 50 during the bet time.

Then, at step 8103, it is determined whether the remaining time of the bet has become 5 seconds. Here, the remaining bet time is also displayed in the bet time display part 69 of the image display device 8 (see FIG. 6). And, if it is determined that the remaining time has not reached 5 seconds (8103: NO), the procedure continuously waits for the remaining time of the bet to become 5 seconds. On the other hand, if it is determined that the remaining time has become equal to 5 seconds (8103: YES), the process of conducting the lottery by the roulette device 3 is performed according to the game execution program.

In particular, first the ball ejection device is actuated and the ball 27 is thrown into the roulette wheel (8104). Additionally, the drive motor is driven, whereby the wheel 22 rotates at a predetermined speed in the opposite direction to the throwing direction of the ball 27. The thrown ball 27 rolls along the wheel 22 along the guide wall 29, after which when the rotational speed becomes small and the centrifugal force disappears , the ball 27 rolls down the inclined surface and moves to the inner side, thus reaching the wheel 22

- 12 010930 (see fig. 2).

And the ball 27, rolled down onto the wheel 22, then passes through the number display plates 25 or the bonus display plate 26 installed on the outer side of the wheel 22 and enters any of the numbered holes 23 or the bonus well 24. The number (in Fig. 2, any of 0, 1 - '' 36), printed on the number display plate 25 corresponding to hole 23 with the number in which the ball 27 falls, becomes the winning number. On the other hand, if the ball 27 hits the bonus well 24, a special bonus game occurs. Here, the determination of the winning number or the presence of a special bonus game is carried out at step 8111 mentioned below.

At step 8105, it is determined whether the bet time has ended. If it is determined that the bet time has not expired (8105: NO), the procedure waits for the end of the bid time. On the other hand, if it is determined that the bet time is over (8105: YES), at step 8106, the station control CPU 91 transmits a bet time complete signal to instruct that the bet time is over.

Then, at step 8107, the bet information (indicated betting area 72, the number (bet value) of chips placed on said betting area 72 and bet method) entered by the player in each of the stations 4 are obtained and stored in the rate information storage area 83A in RAM 83.

Thereafter, at step 8108, credits corresponding to 0.5% of the total number of credits delivered at each station 4, from which the rate information was received at step 8107, accumulatively add to the amount stored in the storage area 83 ° in RAM 83. And, according to this, the amount mapping portion 15 ΙΡ and the imaging portion 73 are updated.

Then, at step 8109, the server control CPU 81 obtains a random number from the random number sampling scheme, and based on this random number, a lottery is conducted to determine whether or not the bonus game ΙΡ occurs and that ΙΡ is won in one of the stations 4 (or lost in all stations 4).

Then, at step 8110, based on the lottery process at step 8109, the result of the lottery game of the bonus game ΙΡ in all up to single stations 4 is transmitted to each of the stations 4.

At step 8111, the server control CPU 81 actuates the win determination device after the ball 27 enters hole 23 with the number or bonus well 24, and determines that the ball 27 falls into any of the numbered holes 23 or does the ball 27 enter in the bonus hole 24.

Additionally, at step 8112, based on the type of hole in which the ball 27 hit, as determined at step 8111, is determined whether or not a special bonus game takes place, i.e. did the ball 27 get to the bonus well 24. As a result, if it is determined that the special bonus game does not occur (8112: NO), i.e. that the ball 27 hit any of the numbered holes 23, it is determined whether the winnings were received for the chips placed in each station 4, based on the information about the rate of each station 4, received at step 8107, and the form of the hole, determined at step 8111 (8113) .

Then, the server control CPU 81 performs the charge calculation process (8114). In the process of calculating the accrual, the chips placed on the winning number are recognized in each and every station 4, and the full amount of accrual of credits paid to each station 4 is calculated using the accrual factor (the number of credits paid per chip (1 bet)) for each region, 72 BET and stored in the storage area 82A of the paid out loan in the ROM 82.

On the other hand, if it is determined that a special bonus game is played (8112: YES), i.e. it is determined that the ball 27 has hit the bonus well 24, the lottery process of the special bonus shown in FIG. 13. Here, in the process of the special bonus game lottery, as mentioned below, one station in which the bonus game is won is selected from stations 4, on which more than 10 credits are staged.

At step 8116, the server management CPU 81 performs the process of transferring the payout result of the credits in the roulette game based on the calculation process of the charge at step 8114, the payout result ΙΡ based on the bonus game win determination ΙΡ at step 8109, and the credit payout result the game at step 8115. In particular, the credit data corresponding to the accrual amount of the main game are output to the station control CPU 91 from station 4, in which the base game win is obtained, and if ΙΡ won, yes credits data corresponding to the amount ΙΡ accumulated at present are then output to station management CPU 91, and if a special bonus game is won, credit data corresponding to the number of credits delivered in each station 4 in the current game is displayed on CPU 91 station management.

After that, at step 8117, the ball removal device placed under the wheel 22 is activated, so the ball 27 is removed from the wheel 22. The removed ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 22 from the roulette device 3 in the next game.

The following subprocess describes the lottery process of a particular bonus game at step 8115. FIG. 13 shows a sub-sequence of operations illustrating a sub-process of the special bonus lottery process performed by the server control CPU 81 of the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

First, at step 8121, the server control CPU 81 reads the rate information, gender

- 13 010930 at stage 8107. Based on the read information about the bet, it is determined whether the game means of payment is greater than 10 credits in each station 4 in the current game, and station 4 in which more than 10 credits are delivered, among all 12 stations 4 (8122).

Then, at step 8123, using a random number selected by the random number sampling scheme, a special bonus lottery process is conducted to select one station 4 among the stations for which it is determined that more than 10 credits have been delivered at step 8122.

After that, the team to perform a special bonus game is passed to each station 4, for which it is determined that more than 10 credits have been delivered. And station 4, the host team to perform a special bonus game, performs a special bonus game, at the same time, the lamp 11 WINS is turned on, as mentioned above.

As described in detail, in the roulette machine 1 according to the first embodiment, based on the lottery result of the winning number obtained using the roulette device 3, in the particular case when the ball 27 falls into the bonus well 24 from the holes formed on the wheel 22, a special bonus game using the lamp 11 WINS, and all credits raised at each station 4 in the current game are paid (815) to one station 4, for which the server control CPU 81 determines that the winnings were received in soo in accordance with the lottery (8123). Here, the bonus hole 24 can be arbitrarily mounted on the wheel 22 using the bonus hole screen image 42, therefore the bonus hole 24 for making payouts beneficial to the player can be provided on the wheel 22 without changing the design of the wheel 22. In the case where the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, all credits made in the current game pay out to one station 4 selected on the basis of a special bonus game, therefore the payout rate can be increased assuming that the payout rate in the whole automaton 1 for playing in the steering wheel Ku in the current game is set to 100%. Additionally, by providing a bonus well 24, it is possible to provide a new game using the bonus well 24 in a conventional roulette slot machine 1, in which the player predicts a winning number, and thus the games can be diversified.

And even if the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, and a special bonus game is conducted according to the lottery result, a special bonus game is not conducted if the bet value in the roulette game as the main game is no more than 10 bets (10 credits), therefore it does not have It is the case that the bonus game is played in station 4, when the player does not play the game, and the game’s motivation can be increased by betting the player with more chips in the roulette game.

Here, in the first embodiment, although the payout is not carried out in the bonus game, if the bet value is less than the predetermined bet value, the effect can only be fulfilled for rotating the lamp 11 WIN.

Additionally, by changing the position or number of bonus holes 24 on the wheel 22 on the bonus hole installation screen 42, the payout rate can be more precisely controlled.

The second embodiment.

A roulette playing machine according to a second embodiment is described below with reference to FIG. 15-17. Here, in the description below, the roulette slot machine according to the second embodiment has the same construction as in the first embodiment described on the basis of FIG. 1-14, therefore, like reference numerals used in the second embodiment denote the same structural element in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

The external structure of the second embodiment is almost the same as that of the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment. And the various processes in the second embodiment are almost the same as in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

However, although in the roulette slot machine 1 of the first embodiment, when the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, a special bonus game is played, and all credits raised in each station 4 in the current game are paid by the server 13 in one station 4, in which the win according to the lottery result is obtained, the slot machine according to the second embodiment differs from the slot machine of the first embodiment as follows. That is, say, in the roulette slot machine according to the second embodiment, when the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, all credits raised in each station 4 in the current game are equally divided and paid to all stations 4, on each of which put in the current game more than 10 credits.

The following are described with reference to FIG. 15 and 16 in the roulette game machine of the second embodiment, a game process program executed on the server side of the server control CPU 81, and a game process program executed on the station side of the station control CPU 91. Here, the programs denoted by the sequences of operations shown in FIG. 15 and 16 are stored in the ROM 82 and the RAM 83 provided in the server 13, and in the ROM 92 and the RAM 93 provided in the station 4. Such programs are executed by the server control CPU 81 and the station control CPU 91.

First described with reference to FIG. 15 and 16, the program of the game process on the station side. Here

- 14 010930 processes 8201-8211 are the same as processes 81-811 in the game process program (see FIGS. 11 and 12) on the station side according to the first embodiment, therefore its explanation is omitted.

At step 8212, the station management CPU 91 receives a credit payout result transmitted from the server management CPU 81. Here, the result of the payout of credits consists of the payout result in a normal roulette game using the 61 BET screen image, the 1P payout result in the game with the 1P bonus and the bonus payout result based on the fact that the ball 27 falls into the bonus well 24.

Thereafter, at step 8213, based on the result of the payment received at step 8212, loans are paid out. In particular, credit data on the roulette game, which is the main game, credit data on the amount of 1P accumulated so far, if the bonus game 1P occurs, and which station 4 won this 1P, and credit data are respectively stored in RAM 93 about the amount obtained by equally dividing the number of all credits delivered in all stations 4 in the current game by the number of stations 4 corresponding to it, if the ball 27 falls into the bonus well 24 and more than 10 credits are delivered in the current game. And after the SA8NOIT button 48 is pressed, the tokens (usually one token corresponds to one bet), corresponding to the number of credits stored in RAM 93 by now, are paid out of hole 9 for the payment of tokens.

Thereafter, in the case where the game continues at any of the stations 4, the procedure returns to step 8204, so the bet time starts again, and the procedure proceeds to the next game.

On the other hand, if the game is over at all stations 4, the roulette game ends.

Below, with reference to FIG. 15 and 16, a server side process program is described. Here, the processes 8301-8311 are the same as the processes 8101-8111 in the game process program (see FIGS. 11 and 12) on the station side of the first embodiment, therefore, their explanation is omitted. Additionally, at step 8312, based on the type of well into which the ball 27 falls, as determined at step 8311, it is determined whether the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24. As a result, if it is determined that the ball 27 did not fall into the bonus well 24 (8312: NO), i.e., if it is determined that the ball 27 has hit any of the numbered holes 23, it is determined whether the winnings have been received for the chips put in each station 4, based on the bet information in each station 4 adopted in step 8307 , and the type of well defined in step 8311 (8313).

Then, the server control CPU 81 performs a charge calculation process (8314). In the process of calculating the accrual, chips placed on the winning number are recognized in each and every station 4, and the total amount of accrual for credits paid to each station 4 is calculated using the payout ratio (the number of credits paid per chip (1 rate)) for each area 72 BET, and stored in the area 82A storage of accrued loans in the ROM 82.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the ball 27 falls into the bonus well 24 (8312: YES), the process of calculating the bonus accrual shown in FIG. 17. Here, in the process of calculating the bonus accrual, as mentioned below, the number of credits paid to station 4 is calculated based on the number of stations 4, each of which contains more than 10 credits, and the number of credits made in the current game.

At step 8316, the server management CPU 81 performs the process of transferring the payout result of the credits in the roulette game based on the charge calculation process at step 8314, the payout result of 1P based on the winnings of the 1P bonus game at step 8309, and the payout result of credits based on the bonus charge calculation process step 8315. In particular, the credit data corresponding to the amount of accrual for the main game is issued to the station control CPU 91 from station 4, in which the prize is obtained in the main game, and, if 1P is won, the data credits corresponding to the amount of 1P accumulated at present are additionally outputted to the station management CPU 91, and if the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, the credit data corresponding to the bonus accrual calculated in step 8315 is output to the management CPU 91 station.

Thereafter, at step 8317, a ball removal device placed under the wheel 22 is actuated, so the ball 27 is removed from the wheel 22. The removed ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 22 from the roulette device 3 in the next game.

Then, a subprocess of the process of calculating the bonus at step 8315 is described. FIG. 17 is a subsequence of operations illustrating a subprocess of the process of calculating the bonus accrual performed by the CPU 81 of the server control of the roulette game machine according to the second embodiment.

First, at step 8321, the server management CPU 81 re-reads the rate information received at step 8307. Based on the read rate information, it is determined whether more than 10 credits are delivered at each station 4 in the current game, and indicate the stations 4 where more 10 credits, among all 12 stations 4.

Then, at step 8323, by dividing the total number of credits raised at each station 4 in the current game, by the number of stations 4 with more than 10 credits delivered, calculating

- 15 010930, the number of credits for accrual of a bonus paid in one station 4. After this, the number of credits corresponding to the accrual of the bonus calculated at step 8323 is paid to each station 4, for which it is determined that more than 10 credits have been delivered.

As described in detail, in the roulette slot machine 1 according to the second embodiment, based on the lottery result of the winning number, using the roulette device 3, in the particular case when the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24 from the holes formed on the wheel 22, the credit received by equal division of all credits delivered in all 12 stations 4 in the current game, stations 4 are paid, for which it is determined that more than 10 credits are delivered in the current game (8123). Here, the bonus hole 24 can be arbitrarily mounted on the wheel 22 using the bonus hole screen image 42, therefore the bonus hole 24 for making payouts beneficial to the player can be arbitrarily provided on the wheel 22 without changing the design of the wheel 22. In the case where the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, all credits made in the current game ultimately pay out, so the payout rate can be increased, assuming that the payout rate in the whole slot machine 1 for playing roulette in the current game is set to 100%. Additionally, by providing a bonus well 24, a new game can be secured using bonus hole 24 in a conventional roulette slot machine 1, in which the player predicts a winning number, thus it is possible to diversify the games.

And even if the ball 27 falls into the bonus hole 24, the payout of credits corresponding to the bonus accrual is not paid at the station corresponding to the case, if the number of bets in the roulette game performed as the main game is no more than 10 bets (10 credits), therefore, there is no fear that the bonus game is played in station 4, where the player does not play the game, and the game’s motivation can be increased by betting the player with a large number of chips in the roulette game.

Additionally, by changing the position or number of the bonus well 24 on the wheel 22 on the bonus well installation screen 42, the payout rate can be more specifically changed.

The third embodiment.

A roulette playing machine according to a third embodiment is described below with reference to FIG. 18-19. Here, in the following explanation, the roulette slot machine according to the third embodiment has the same construction as in the first embodiment described on the basis of FIG. 1-14, therefore, the same number used in the third embodiment indicates the same structural element in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

The external structure in the third embodiment is almost the same as in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment. And the various processes in the third embodiment are almost the same as in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

However, although in the roulette slot machine 1 of the first embodiment, when the ball 27 hits the bonus well 24, a special bonus game takes place, and all credits raised at each station 4 in the current game are paid by the server 13 of one station 4, in which a win is obtained according to the result of the lottery, the slot machine according to the third embodiment differs from the slot machine of the first embodiment as follows. That is, for example, in the roulette slot machine according to the third embodiment, when the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, all credits raised in each station 4 in the current game accumulate in 1P.

Below, in the roulette game machine of the third embodiment, the game process program executed on the server side of the server control CPU 81 and the game process program executed on the station side of the station control CPU 91 are described with reference to FIG. 18 and 19. Here the programs, indicated by the sequences of operations shown in FIG. 18 and 19 are stored in the ROM 82 and the RAM 83 provided in the server 13, and in the ROM 92 and the RAM 93 provided in the station 4. Such programs are executed by the server control CPU 81 and the station control CPU 91.

First, with reference to FIG. 18 and 19 describes the program of the game process on the side of the station. Here, the processes 8401-8411 are the same as the processes 81-811 in the game process program (see FIGS. 11 and 12) on the station side of the first embodiment, therefore, their explanation is omitted.

At step 8412, the station control CPU 91 receives the credit payout result transmitted from the server control CPU 81. Here, the result of the payment of credits consists of the result of the payment in a normal roulette game, conducted using the BET 61 screen image, and the result of the 1P payment in the bonus game 1P.

Thereafter, at step 8413, credits are paid out on the basis of the payment result obtained at step 8412. In particular, in RAM 93, respectively, the data on credits for the game of roulette, which is the main game, and data on credits of the amount of 1P are stored. accumulated so far if a bonus game 1P occurs, and such station 4 wins 1P. And after the SA8NOIT button 48 is pressed, the tokens (usually one token corresponds to one bet), corresponding to the number of credits currently stored in RAM 93, are paid out of hole 9

- 16 010930 for payment of tokens.

After that, in the case where the game continues at any of the stations 4, the procedure returns to step 8404, so the bet time starts again, and the procedure proceeds to the next game.

On the other hand, if the game is over at all stations 4, the roulette game ends.

The following is described with reference to FIG. 18 and 19 server-side game process program. Here, processes 8501-8511 are the same as processes 8101-8111 in the game process program (see FIGS. 11 and 12) on the station side according to the first embodiment, therefore, their explanation is omitted.

Additionally, at step 8512, based on the type of well into which the ball 27 falls, as determined at step 8511, it is determined whether the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24. As a result, if it is determined that the ball 27 did not hit the bonus well 24 (8512 : NO), i.e., if it is determined that the ball 27 hit any of the numbered holes 23, it is determined whether the winnings were received for the chips placed in each station 4, based on the information about the rate of each station 4 adopted at step 8507 , and the shape of the well, as determined in step 8511 (8513).

Then, the server control CPU 81 performs the charge calculation process (8514). In the process of calculating the accrual, chips placed on the winning number are recognized in each and every station 4, and the full amount of the accrual of repayments of credits paid to each station 4 is calculated using the payout ratio (the number of credits paid per chip (1 rate)) for each region 72 BET and stored in the area 82A storage of accrued credits in the ROM

82

On the other hand, if it is determined that the ball 27 hit the bonus well 24 (8512: YES), a special 1P accumulation process is carried out. In the 1P accumulation process, the amount of credits staged in the current game in each of the 12 stations 4 is cumulatively added to the amount of 1P stored in the storage 83P accumulation area 1P in RAM 83. Therefore, although only 0.5% of credits are usually added from credits delivered in stations 4, add 100% credits if the ball 27 falls into the bonus well 24.

At step 8516, the server management CPU 81 performs the process of transferring the payout result of the credits in the roulette game based on the payout calculation process at step 8514 and the payout result of 1P based on the winnings of the 1P bonus game at step 8509. In particular, the credit data corresponding to Payments in the main game are output to the station management CPU 91 from station 4, in which the win in the main game is received, and, if 1P is won, the credit data corresponding to the sum of 1P accumulated at the present time are then output to the CPU 91 control station by station.

Thereafter, at step 8517, a ball removal device placed under the wheel 22 is activated, so the ball 27 on the wheel 22 is removed. The removed ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 22 from the roulette device 3 in the next game.

As described in detail, in the roulette slot machine 1 according to the third embodiment, based on the lottery result of the winning number, using the roulette device 3 in the particular case when the ball 27 falls into the bonus well 24 of the holes formed on the wheel 22, all credits delivered in all 12 stations 4 in the current game, add to the sum of 1P (8515). Here, the bonus well 24 can be arbitrarily mounted on the wheel 22 using the bonus hole screen image 42, therefore the bonus well 24 for making a payout beneficial to the player can be arbitrarily provided on the wheel 22 without changing the design of the wheel 22. In the case where the ball 27 goes to bonus well 24, all credits in the current game are added to 1P, so the payout rate can be increased by making a payout based on the 1P win after that. Additionally, by providing a bonus well 24, it is possible to provide a new game using the bonus well 24 in a conventional roulette slot machine 1 in which the player predicts a winning number, so that the games can be diversified.

Fourth embodiment.

The roulette slot machine according to the fourth embodiment is described below with reference to FIG. 20-21. Here, in the following explanation, the roulette slot machine according to the fourth embodiment has the same construction as in the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1-14, therefore, the same number used in the fourth embodiment indicates the same structural element in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

The external structure in the fourth embodiment is almost the same as in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment. And the various processes in the fourth embodiment are almost the same as in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

However, although in the roulette slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment, when the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, a special bonus game occurs, and all credits raised in each station 4 in the current game are paid by the server 13 of one station 4, in which the winnings are obtained according to the lottery result, the slot machine according to the fourth variant is carried out

- 17 010930 differs from the slot machine of the first embodiment in the following. That is, say, in the roulette slot machine according to the fourth embodiment, when the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, all the chips delivered by means of the BET 61 display screen (see FIG. 6) are processed as winning chips, and the accrual is paid in accordance with the method of the rate (the number of loans provided and the payout ratio).

Below, in the roulette game machine according to the fourth embodiment, the game process program executed on the server side of the server control CPU 81 and the game process program executed on the station side of the station control CPU 91 are described with reference to FIG. 20 and 21. Here, the programs designated by the sequences of operations shown in FIG. 20 and 21 are stored in the ROM 82 and the RAM 83 provided in the server 13, and in the ROM 92 and the RAM 93 provided in the station 4. Such programs are executed by the server control CPU 81 and the station control CPU 91.

First, with reference to FIG. 20 and 21, a game process program is presented on the station side. At step 8601, the station control CPU 91 determines whether or not the tokens or coins are inserted by the player based on the detection signal from the token 97. And, if it is determined that no tokens or coins are inserted (8601: NO), the procedure waits until tokens or coins are inserted. On the other hand, if it is determined that the tokens or coins are inserted (8601: YES), the procedure goes to step 8602.

At step 8602, the credit data corresponding to the number of the inserted game media is stored in the RAM 93. Then, at step 8603, the token insertion signal is transmitted to the server 13 to instruct that the tokens or coins are inserted.

At step 8604, the BET screen image 61 shown in FIG. 6, the stations 4 are displayed on the image display device 8 and the starting time of the bet is started, during which the player can place chips (8605). And the player participating in the game can place chips in the 72 BET area on the number that the player predicts using the touch panel 50 during the bet time when accepting the bet can be enabled (see Fig. 6). Here, since the specific betting method using the screen image 61 BET has already been explained, its explanation is omitted.

And a player can participate in a game whose bet time has begun to count out, even after the game has been started, and a maximum of 12 players can start the game in the slot machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment. Additionally, if the current game is played immediately after the previous game, the acceptance of the bet operation begins immediately after the previous game is over.

At step 8606, if a bet completion time signal is received from the server management CPU 81 instructing that the bet time is completed, an image indicating that the bet time is finished is displayed on the image display device 8 at station 4, thus accepting the bet operation by means of the touch panel 50 completed (8607). After that, information about the bet (specified area 72 BET and the number of chips (bet amount) bet on the specified area 72 BET) is transmitted, which takes place on the basis of the player’s operation (8608).

In step 8609, the lottery result in the bonus game lottery process ΙΡ (8709; mentioned below) performed by the server control CPU 81 is received from the server 13. Here, the bonus game lottery result ΙΡ includes the lottery result regarding whether a predetermined bonus occurs a game in each of the stations 4, and a lottery result regarding which station 4 among 12 stations 4 gains ΙΡ (or win ΙΡ is lost in all stations 4) when the bonus game occurs.

Then, at step 8610 in FIG. 20, the station control CPU 91 determines whether the bonus game происходит occurs based on the lottery result obtained during the bonus game lottery process ΙΡ adopted at step 8609. And, if it is determined that the bonus game does not occur in station 4 (8610: NO), the procedure goes to step 8612.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus game ΙΡ occurs at station 4 (8610: YES), the predetermined bonus game with the type of choice associated with obtaining ΙΡ is executed at step 8611. And the result of this game (whether or not was received) displayed on the image display device 8 based on the lottery result received in step 8609.

Then, at step 8612, the station management CPU 91 receives the credit payout result transmitted from the server 13. Here, the credit payout result consists of the payout result in the base game, conducted using the BET screen 61, the payout result ΙΡ held in the bonus game, and the result Payments of bonus accrual based on the fact that the ball 27 has hit the bonus well 24. Here the bonus accrual is a special charge paid to a player who puts more than 10 bets in the current game, corresponding to the bet when the ball 27 falls into the bonus hole 24. In particular, the bonus accrual corresponds to the number of credits received when all the chips put in the current game are treated as winning chips and the number of chips (the amount of the bet) placed on the 72 BET area , multiplied by the magnification factor corresponding to the type of rate method (direct rate, angular rate, split rate or similar).

Thereafter, at step 8613, based on the result of the payment received at step 8612, paying

- 18 010930 loans. In particular, in RAM 93, the credit data for the payoff in the roulette game, which is the main game, the credit data for the DR sum accumulated by now, if the DR bonus game occurs, and which station 4 won the DR, and the data are respectively stored. about credits for the amount of bonus accrual corresponding to the rate of each chip placed in all stations 4 in the current game, if the ball 27 falls into the bonus hole 24, and more than 10 credits are in the current game. And after the button 48 SA8NOIT is pressed, the tokens (usually one token corresponds to one bet), corresponding to the number of credits stored in RAM 93 at the present time, are paid out of hole 9 to pay for the tokens.

After that, in the case where the game continues at any of the stations 4, the procedure returns to step 8604, so the bet time starts again, and the procedure proceeds to the next game.

On the other hand, if the game is over at all stations 4, the roulette game ends.

The following is described with reference to FIG. 20 and 21 server-side game process programs. At step 8701, the server control CPU 81 receives the token detection signal transmitted from the station control CPU 91 at step 8603, and determines whether the player has inserted the tokens or coins. In the roulette slot machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, when tokens or coins are inserted into any of stations 4, the token insertion signal is transmitted to the server control CPU 81 from the station control CPU 91 from station 4 in which the tokens or coins are inserted.

And from the time when the player, who first participates in the game, inserts tokens or coins, the time of the bet begins to be counted, during which the player can accept the bet operation (8702). Here, if the current game is played immediately after the previous game, the bet time starts counting immediately after the previous game is over. And the player participating in the game can place chips on the 72 BET area associated with the number predicted by the player using the touch panel 50 during the bet time.

Then, at step 8703, it is determined whether the remaining time of the bet has become 5 seconds. Here, the remaining bet time is also displayed in the bet time display part 69 of the image display device 8 (see FIG. 6). And, if it is determined that the remaining time has not reached 5 seconds (8703: NO), the procedure continuously waits until the remaining time of the bet is equal to 5 seconds. On the other hand, if it is determined that the remaining time is equal to 5 seconds (8703: YES), the lottery process by means of the roulette device 3 is performed according to the game execution program.

In particular, first the ball ejection device is actuated and the ball 27 is thrown into the roulette wheel (8704). Additionally, the drive motor is actuated, so the wheel 22 rotates at a predetermined speed in the direction opposite to the throw direction of the ball 27. The thrown ball 27 rolls along the wheel 22 along the guide wall 29 after the rotational speed becomes weak and the centrifugal force disappears , the ball 27 rolls down on an inclined surface and moves to the inner side, thus reaching the wheel 22 of rotation (see Fig. 2).

And the ball 27, rolling down onto the wheel 22, then moves along the number display plates 25 or the bonus display plate 26 installed on the outer side of the wheel 22 and enters any of the numbered holes 23 or the bonus well 24. The number (in Fig. 2, any of 0, 136), printed on the number display plate 25, corresponding to hole 23 with the number to which the ball 27 fell, becomes the winning number. On the other hand, if the ball 27 hits the bonus well 24, a special bonus game occurs. Here, the determination of the winning number or the presence of a special bonus game is carried out at step 8711 mentioned below.

At step 8705, it is determined whether the bet time has ended. If it is determined that the bet time is not over (8705: NO), the procedure waits until the bet time ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the bet time is over (8705: YES), at step 8706, the station time completion signal is transmitted to the station control CPU 91 to instruct that the bet time has expired.

Then, at step 8707, the bet information (indicated betting area 72, the number of chips (bet amount) placed on said betting area 72 and bet method) entered by the player in each of the stations 4 are obtained and stored in the rate information storage area 83A in RAM 83.

Thereafter, at step 8708, credits, corresponding to 0.5% of the total number of credits delivered at each station 4, from which rate information was obtained at step 8107, cumulatively add to the amount of RR stored in the 83 C area of the accumulation of RR in RAM 83. And, according to this, the display on the display part 15 of the sum of the DF and the portion 73 of the display of the DG are updated.

Then, at step 8709, the server management CPU 81 obtains a random number from the random number sampling scheme, and based on this random number, a lottery is conducted to determine if the bonus game DR is running and what DR wins in which station 4 (or DR plays in all stations four).

Then, at step 8710, based on the lottery process at step 8709, the result of the lottery of the 1P bonus game in each of the stations 4 is transmitted to each of the stations 4.

At step 8711, the server control CPU 81 actuates the win determination device after the ball 27 enters the hole 23 with the number or the bonus well 24, and determines in which

- 19 010930 from numbered holes 23, the ball 27 falls, or whether the ball 27 falls into the bonus hole 24.

Additionally, at step 8712, based on the type of well into which the ball 27 falls, as determined at step 8711, it is determined whether the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24. As a result, if it is determined that the ball did not fall into the bonus well 24 (8712: NO ), i.e. that the ball 27 hit any of the numbered holes 23, determine whether the winnings are received for the chips placed in each station 4, based on the information about the rate of each station 4 received in step 8707 and the type of hole defined in step 8711 (8713) .

Then, the server control CPU 81 performs a charge calculation process (8714). In the process of calculating the accrual, chips placed on the winning number are recognized in each and every station 4, and the full amount of accrual of credits paid to each station 4 is calculated using the accrual factor (the number of credits paid per chip (1 rate)) for each area 72 BET, and is stored in the storage area 82A of the repayable loan in ROM 82.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the ball 27 hit the bonus well 24 (8712: YES), the process of calculating the bonus accrual is carried out, FIG. 22 (8715). Here, in the process of calculating the bonus accrual, as mentioned below, the number of credits paid to station 4 is calculated based on the method of the bet (set loan amount and payout ratio) at that station 4 where more than 10 credits are delivered.

At step 8716, the server management CPU 81 performs the process of transferring the payout result of the credits in the roulette game based on the charge calculation process at step 8714, the DR payout result based on determining the bonus of the 1P bonus game at step 8709, and the payout result based on step 8715. In particular, the credit data corresponding to the amount of accrual for the main game is output to the station control CPU 91 from station 4 where the payoff in the main game is obtained, and, if DR won, is given The credits, corresponding to the amount of PD accumulated at present, are then output to the station management CPU 91, and if the ball 27 hit the bonus well 24, the credit data corresponding to the bonus accrual calculated in step 8715 is output to CPU 91 station management.

Thereafter, at step 8717, a ball removal device placed under the wheel 22 is actuated, so the ball 27 on the wheel 22 is removed. The removed ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 22 from the roulette device 3 in the next game.

The subprocess of the bonus calculation process at step 8715 is described below. FIG. 22 shows a sub-sequence of operations illustrating a sub-process of the process of calculating a bonus accrued by the server control CPU 81 in the gaming machine 1 for playing roulette according to the fourth embodiment.

First, at step 8721, the server management CPU 81 re-reads the bet information received at step 8707. Based on the read information about the bet, it is determined whether the game media has been delivered in more than 10 credits in each station 4 in the current game and station 4, in which more than 10 credits were delivered, are determined among all 12 stations 4 (8722).

Then, at step 8723, the number of credits for bonus accrual is calculated based on the number of credits corresponding to the chips delivered during the time of acceptance of the rate (8605-8607) of station 4 indicated at step 8122, and the payout ratio based on the type of method of chips (direct rate, angular rate, split rate, etc.). In particular, the calculation is calculated assuming that all the put chips are processed as winning chips, and for example, after the chips are placed in the positions shown in FIG. 6, if the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, calculate 1792 credits, adding the charge (36x36) based on 36 chips set to 0, the charge (7x36) based on 7 chips set to 18, the charge (10x18) based on 10 chips Between 16 and 17, Charge (20x3) based on 20 chips, Set to 2 to 1, Charge (1x4) based on 1 chip, set between 5, 6, 8, 9. After that, in each station 4, for which is determined that more than 10 credits have been raised, they pay out credits corresponding to the accrual of the bonus, calculated at step 8723 (8613).

As described in detail, in the roulette slot machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, based on the lottery result of the winning number using the roulette device 3, in the particular case when the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, credits are paid according to the bet method (the quantity delivered credits and payout ratio), station 4, for which it is determined that more than 10 credits are placed in the current game. Here, the bonus hole 24 can be arbitrarily mounted on the wheel 22 using the bonus hole screen image 42, therefore the bonus hole 24 for making payouts beneficial to the player can be arbitrarily provided on the wheel 22 without changing the design of the wheel 22. In the case where the ball 27 gets into the bonus hole 24, all chips put in the current game are treated as winning chips, and the charge corresponding to the sum of the bet (the number of credits) and the payout ratio is paid to the player, so the payout rate can be It cannot be increased when the payout rate in the whole slot machine 1 is set to more than 100% in the current game. Additionally, providing a bonus

- 20 010930 hole 24, you can provide a new game using bonus hole 24 in a regular roulette slot machine 1, in which the player predicts a winning number, so the games can be diversified.

And even if the ball 27 falls into the bonus hole 24, and a special bonus game is conducted according to the lottery result, the bonus is not paid at the station, if the bet amount in the roulette game as the main game is no more than 10 bets (10 credits), therefore Motivation to the game can be increased by performing a player’s bet with a large number of chips in the game of roulette.

Additionally, by changing the position or number of the bonus well 24 on the wheel 22 on the bonus hole installation screen 42, the payout rate can be more manageable.

Fifth embodiment.

A roulette playing machine according to a fifth embodiment is described below with reference to FIG. 23. Here, in the explanation below, the roulette slot machine according to the fifth embodiment has the same construction as in the first embodiment described on the basis of FIG. 1-14, therefore, the same number used in the fifth embodiment indicates the same structural element in the roulette slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

The external structure according to the fifth embodiment is almost the same as that in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment. And, the various processes in the fifth embodiment are almost the same as in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

The following is described with reference to FIG. 23 is a bonus hole installation process program executed by the server control CPU 81 in the roulette slot machine 1 according to the fifth embodiment. Here, the installation process of the bonus well is the process for changing the setting associated with adding and removing the hole, which becomes the bonus hole 24, using the server 13. Here the program shown in FIG. 23 through a sequence of operations, is stored in the ROM 82 and the RAM 83 provided in the server 13, and is executed by the server control CPU 81.

In the installation program of the bonus well, first, at step 8801, the station control CPU 91 determines whether the installation associated with bonus hole 24 is carried out based on the information about the operation from the keyboard 33. In particular, in the case that the Bonus Well Menu is selected from the screen image 40 the menu (see FIG. 4) displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 determines that an installation is being made associated with the bonus well 24.

And, if it is determined that the installation associated with bonus hole 24 is not performed (8801: NO), various settings are carried out (for example, setting the sound level, test operation) of the slot machine 1, other than the setting of bonus hole 24 (8802 ).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the installation associated with the bonus well 24 (8801: YES) is being carried out, the bonus wells installation screen 42 (see FIG. 5) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 (8803).

Thereafter, at step 8804, it is determined whether the addition of the bonus well 24 has been made. In particular, it is determined whether a new number is entered from 00, 0, 1-36 as the bonus number in the bonus hole installation screen 42. And, if it is determined that the new number from the number 00, 0, 136 is entered as a bonus number (8804: YES), hole 23 with the number corresponding to the entered number (for example, if the number “7” is entered, hole 23 with the number has the number “7”) is reinstalled as bonus well 24 (8805). Thus, the bonus well 24 for making a payout beneficial to the player can be arbitrarily provided on the wheel 22 without changing the design of the wheel 22.

Thereafter, at step 8806, it is determined whether the installation related to bonus well 24 is completed based on the operation information from keyboard 33. If it is determined that such installation is complete (8806: YES), the installation process of the bonus well is completed. On the contrary, if it is determined that such a setting is continuously ongoing (8806: NO), the procedure returns to the determination process at step 8804.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the addition of the bonus well 24 is not performed (8804: NO), the procedure goes to step 8807. At step 8807, it is determined whether or not the deletion of the bonus well 24 is performed. In particular, it is determined whether the number entered in as a bonus number, on the bonus hole setting screen 42, using the keyboard 33. And, if it is determined that the number entered as the bonus number has been deleted (8807: YES), the bonus hole 24 corresponding to the deleted number (for example, bonus hole 24 provided in place of hole number 23 rum, which is given the number "7", removed), is installed in the original well 23 with the number (8808). Thus, the bonus well 24 for making a payout beneficial to the player can be arbitrarily provided on the wheel 22 without changing the design of the wheel 22.

At step 8807, if it is determined that the deletion of the bonus well 24 has not been performed (8807: NO), the procedure proceeds to the determination process at step 8806.

As mentioned above, in the slot machine according to the fifth embodiment, but

- 21 010930 a new number from the range 00, 0, 1-36 is entered as a bonus number on the screen 42 of the installation of bonus holes, and well 23 with the number corresponding to the entered number (for example, well 23 with the number given by the number "7" If this number “7” is entered), it is changed again to the bonus well 24 (8805), therefore, the bonus well 24 for making a payout beneficial to the player can be arbitrarily provided on the wheel 22 without changing the design of the wheel 22.

The sixth version of the implementation.

A roulette playing machine according to a sixth embodiment is described below with reference to FIG. 24-32. Here, in the following explanation, the roulette slot machine according to the sixth embodiment has the same construction as in the first embodiment, described with reference to FIG. 1-14, therefore, the same number used in the sixth embodiment indicates the same structural element in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

The external structure according to the sixth embodiment is almost the same as in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment. And, the various processes in the sixth embodiment are almost the same as in the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment.

However, although in the roulette slot machine 1 of the first embodiment, the bonus well 24 is set in advance on the wheel 22, and the bonus game is played every time the ball 27 hits the bonus well 24 in each game, the roulette slot machine according to the sixth option the implementation differs from the slot machine of the first embodiment as follows. That is, for example, in a roulette game according to the sixth embodiment, a lottery is held in each station 4 to determine if the 1P has won the right, and if 1P has the right to win in any of the stations 4, any of the numbered holes 23 is set as the bonus well 24, and additionally, when the ball 27 falls into the bonus well 24, installed as mentioned above, the DR is paid at the station where the DR right is obtained. Therefore, in the sixth embodiment, it is not necessary for a person to manually enter a bonus well, and the bonus well can be changed each time that the ball 27 falls into the bonus well 24, set as mentioned above.

In the roulette game machine of the sixth embodiment, as mentioned below, there are three types of 1P "MEGA", "LARGE" and "MINI". Here, as one example, in 1Р "MEGA", 0.15% of credits from credits raised in all 12 stations 4 in the main game (roulette game) are accumulatively saved using the screen BET 110 image, mentioned below, in 1R "LARGE" cumulatively retain 0.20% of loans from the loans provided, and in 1P “MINI” they cumulatively save 0.3% of loans from the loans provided.

In the case when the predetermined condition is satisfied in accordance with the 2-stage lottery, using the bonus well mentioned below, any of the 1Ps is won and the credits are paid out, corresponding to the amount accumulated in 1P. him appropriate.

On the electronic display device 15 (see FIG. 1), the accumulated sum of 1P “MEGA”, in particular, is displayed among three types of 1P.

- 22 010930

BET has essentially the same design as screen BETA 61 in the first embodiment, and on panel 60 of the rate table, numbers of the same kind as 38 kinds of numbers 0, 00, 1-36 are placed and displayed as a matrix.

On the right side of the time display part 69, bets provide the MINI display part 111, which shows the number of DR “MINI” credits accumulated so far, the LARGE display part 112, which shows the 1R “LARGE” credits accumulated by now, and MEGA display part 113 for 1Р "MEGA", accumulated thus far. Here, in the MINI display part 111, cumulatively summarizes 0.3% of credits from the credits made in each single game in all 12 stations 4, in the display part 112 LARGE cumulatively, 0.20% of credits from the credits credited, and in the MEGA display part 113, it is accumulative summarize 0.15% of credits from the credits delivered, and display the total value for all stations 4. As mentioned below, if 1P is won in accordance with the internal lottery, and the ball 27 hit the bonus well that is set, the DR is won, whereby the number credit The winners of the wins are paid among the 1P jackpots that are displayed on each of the display parts 111-113, and after the number of credits is paid, the value displayed on the 1P display part is updated to the initial value set in advance in the ROM 82 or RAM 83 (200 credits in MINI, 5000 credits in LARGE and 5000 credits in MEGA).

Here, the other elements forming the BET screen image 111 are the same as the elements of the BET screen image 61 according to the first embodiment, which is described above, thus its description is omitted here.

The following are described with reference to FIG. 26 and 27 are storage areas of ROM and RAM provided in the server 13 according to the sixth embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 26, ROM 82 provides an accrued credit storage area 82A storing differences associated with a roulette game using the BET screen 110, a right-of-DR lottery table storage area 82B storing the lottery tables of the right to 1P for the lottery to determine if Is the right to DR, and the effect lottery table storage area 82C storing the lottery effect lottery tables to determine if an effect is being conducted to notify the player of the number associated with the bonus hole if the bonus hole is set on.

Here, the lottery table storage area 82B of the right to the DR is the lottery table - does each station 4 receive the right to win three types of 1P at the beginning of the game. In the roulette game machine according to the sixth embodiment, the lottery is conducted for station 4, in which the bet amount is more than 50 bets in the current game, among the stations connected to the station management CPU 81, using the right lottery table for 1P. Here, as an example, in the lottery table of the right to DR, the range of random numbers is set so that the probability to get the right to win the DR "MINI" becomes equal to 4.7684%, the probability to get the right to win 1Р "LARGE" becomes equal to 0.4172% and the probability to get the right to win the DR “MEGA” became equal to 0.0298%. In the case when more than one station 4 received the right to win any of the DR, any of the holes 105 with a number is set as a bonus hole, and a lottery is held using the ball 27. As a result, if the ball 27 falls into the bonus hole, the station receiving right to win DR, DR wins.

And the effects lottery table is used to hold the lottery - is the effect conducted to notify about the number corresponding to the bonus hole set according to the above in the case when any of stations 4 gets the right to win the DR, and any of the holes 105 with the number is set as bonus wells, or whether the effect is to notify about the type of DR with the right to win the DR. Here in the roulette game machine according to the sixth embodiment, if the ball enters the bonus well, the range of random numbers is set to notify this number with a 90% probability (here, the reason not to notify the number with a 10% probability is one that the opportunity to win the DR should remain, even if the notification was not made). And the range of random numbers is set so that if a player has the right to win DR “MEGA” and “LARGE”, the DR view is notified with a probability of 50%, and if the player receives the right to win DR “MINI”, the DR view is notified with a probability of 0% (type of DR is not notified).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27, in the RAM 83, the bet information storage area 83A is stored, which stores the bet information of the player currently playing, the winning number storage area 83B, which stores the winning number of the roulette device 102 defined by the win determination device, the accumulation storage area 83E DR, the amount stored credits accumulatively summed as DR “MINI”, storage accumulation region DR 83G, storing the amount of credits, accumulatively accumulated as DR “LARGE”, and savings accumulation storage region 83C, storing the amount to Edit accumulatively summed up as DR "MEGA". Here information about the bet, in particular, means the number of chips (bet amount) set in the 72 BET area indicated on the BET 110 screen.

Below, with reference to FIG. 28 and 29, a game process program in the server, executed by the server control CPU 81 in the roulette game machine according to the sixth embodiment, and a game process program in the station, executed by the station control CPU 91 in the station 4 are described.

- 23 010930 grams are shown by means of the sequences of operations in FIG. 28 and 29 are stored in the ROM 82 and the RAM 83 provided in the server 13, and in the ROM 92 and the RAM 93 provided in the station 4, and executed by the server control CPU 81 and the station control CPU 91.

First described with reference to FIG. 28 and 29 program of the game process in the station. Here, the processes in step 81001-81007 are the same as in steps 81-87 of the game process program (see FIGS. 11 and 12) in the station according to the first embodiment, therefore, their explanation is omitted here.

At step 81008, the station management CPU 91 transmits to the server 13 information about the rate (indicated area 72 BET and the number of chips (bet amount) placed on the specified area 72 BET) available based on the player’s operation.

Then, at step 81009, the station management CPU 91 receives from the server 13 the effect lottery result obtained according to the lottery, whether the effect of notification of the bonus hole is made to notify that the bonus hole is installed in the current game and the number corresponding to the established bonus hole.

At step 81010, based on the effect of the effect lottery, obtained at step 81009, it is determined whether an effect is produced to notify the bonus well. As a result, if it is determined that the bonus hole notification effect is produced (81010: YES), the bonus hole notification effect process is performed using the image display device 8 and the loudspeaker 10 (81011). In particular, during the effect of notification of the bonus well, the player is informed that the bonus well is set in the current game, the number corresponding to the established bonus well, and 1P view (view! P, the right to win which is received at step 81009), which can be received when the ball 27 hits the bonus well.

Below with reference to FIG. 30 and 31 describes the effect of notification of the bonus well, performed at step 81011. In the slot machine according to the sixth embodiment, the server 13 receiving the bet information at step 81107 from each station 4 sets one of the holes 105 with the number as the bonus hole in the case when any of the stations 4, in which more than 50 bets are placed in the lottery process on the right to! Р (81109), gets the right to win! For example, FIG. 30 illustrates a top view illustrating the roulette device 102 when the hole with the number corresponding to number 10 is set as bonus hole 107.

As shown in FIG. 30, when the bonus well 107 is set, the LED located on the back side of the number display plate 108, corresponding to the bonus well 107, turns on. And, before the ball 27, rotating on the wheel 104, enters any of the holes 105 with the number or bonus hole 107 , a bonus notification effect is produced using the image display device 8 and the loudspeaker 10 of each station 4. FIG. 31 is an explanatory view illustrating a display screen of the image display device 8 when the effect of the notification of the bonus well is produced.

As shown in FIG. 31, in the bonus hole notification effect, instructing offer 120, indicating the number (in FIG. 31, 10) corresponding to bonus well 107, and instructing in 1P 121, indicating view! Р (in FIG. 31,! P "MEGA" ), obtained when the ball 27 falls into the bonus well 107, are displayed so that they are superimposed on the BET screen image 110 (see FIG. 25). And voices having the same content as in the instructive sentence 120 about the number and the instructive sentence 1P 121 are output from the loudspeaker 10. Therefore, the player can find out that the bonus hole is installed in the current game, the number corresponding to the established bonus hole, and view 1P . obtained when the ball 27 enters the bonus well, before the lottery through the roulette device 102 is completed, referring to the display and the output effect. Through this, for example, you can avoid the feeling of mistrust or dissatisfaction with the game, which the player feels when there is an injustice or a fake in the internal control in the case when the winnings of P are notified after the result of the game is displayed.

Then, at step 81012, after the lottery is completed by the roulette device 102, well 105 with the number into which the ball 27 falls, and the type of bonus well 107 is received from the server. 13. At step 81013, the station control CPU 91 determines whether the ball, in particular, has fallen into the bonus well 107 set up as described above. And, if it is determined that the ball 27 has hit the bonus well 107 (81013: YES), the process of the effect of obtaining 1P is carried out. to notify whether a received P in such a station 4 (81014). On the other hand, if it is determined that the ball 27 did not hit the bonus well 107 (81013: NO), the procedure goes to step 81015.

Below, with reference to FIG. 32, the effect of producing 1P is described. conducted at step 81014. In the slot machine according to the sixth embodiment, if the ball 27 hits the bonus hole in accordance with the lottery in the roulette device 102, station 4, which won the right to win! P, wins 1P. And notify which station 4 receives! P using the image display device 8 and the loudspeaker 10 at each station 4. FIG. 32 is an explanatory view illustrating one example of the screen display of the image display device 8 when received! P.

As shown in FIG. 32, the effects screen image 122 is displayed in the acquisition effect.

- 24 010930

Dr In the screen image, the effects 122 sequentially display a plurality of cocktails 123 when moving from the right edge in the left direction, and when any of the cocktails 123 stops in the center of the screen image, the DR corresponding to the kind of the stopped cocktail 123 is won. On the other hand, if all the cocktails 123 are moved from the left edge to escape from the screen image, the DR is played. For example, in FIG. 32, the effects screen image 122 in station 4, in which DR MEGA is won, is displayed, and the cocktail corresponding to 1P MEGA is stopped and displayed in the center of the screen image, and instructive offer 124 of a win is displayed to notify that DR is won. "MEGA". And voices having the same content as in instructional win offer 124 are issued from loudspeaker 10. Therefore, a player can learn that any of the DRs are won in the current game or that any of the DRs are not won by referring to the display of the displayed effect.

At step 81015, the station management CPU 91 receives a credit payout result transmitted from the server management CPU 81. Here, the result of the credit payment consists of the result of the payment in the main game of roulette, conducted using the screen BET 110 and the result of the payment of the DR when the DR is received.

Thereafter, at step 81016, the payment of credits is performed based on the result of the payment adopted at step 81015. In particular, the data on the payout credits in the roulette game, which is the main game, and the credit data for the amount of CU accumulated in 1P to date, if 1P is won, respectively stored in RAM 93. When the SA8NOIT button 48 is pressed, the tokens (usually one token for one credit) corresponding to the number of credits stored in to RAM 93 are currently paid out of hole 9 to pay for the tokens.

After that, in the case where the game continues at any of the stations 4, the procedure returns to step 81004, so the bet time begins to count again, and the procedure proceeds to the next game.

On the other hand, if the game is completed at all stations 4, the roulette game is completed.

The following is described with reference to FIG. 28 and 29 is a server-side game process program. Here, the processes in steps 81101-81106 are the same as in steps 8101-8106 of the game process program (see FIGS. 11 and 12) on the station side according to the first embodiment, thus their explanation is omitted.

At step 81107, the server management CPU 81 receives the bet information (indicated betting area 72, the number of chips (the bet amount) placed on said bet betting area 72) and stores them in the rate information storage area 83A in the RAM 83.

Thereafter, at step 81108, credits corresponding to 0.30% of the total number of credits delivered at each station 4, from which the rate information was received at step 81107, are cumulatively added to the amount of DR "MINI" stored in the storage area 83E of DR in RAM 83. And loans, corresponding to 0.20%, are cumulatively added to the amount of 1R “LARGE” stored in storage area 83E of DR in RAM 83. Additionally, loans of 0.15% are cumulatively added to the amount of 1P “MEGA” stored in storage area 836 of the accumulation of DR in RAM 83. And according to this, an hour The 15 sum display PD and the MINI display portion 111 of the MEGA display portion 113 are updated.

Then, at step 81109, on the basis of the rate information received at step 81107, the server control CPU 81 retrieves (detects) station 4, in which the bet amount is more than 50 rates, and conducts the lottery process rights to the PD for the lottery - whether the right is won The PD in one station 4 or a plurality of identified stations 4. In the lottery process, rights to the PD, in particular, receive a random number from the random number sampling scheme, and the lottery is conducted using the lottery table, the rights to the PD to determine if the right to win three yes DR in each station 4. Here, as an example, in the lottery table for 1P, the range of random numbers is set so that the probability of winning DR “MINI” becomes equal to 4.7684%, the probability of winning DR with “GRAND” becomes equal to 0.4172% , and the probability of winning DR "MEGA" became equal 0,0298%.

At step 81110, based on the result of the lottery in the lottery process, the right to 1P at step 81109 determines whether the right to win any of the PD in at least more than one station 4 is obtained. As a result, if it is determined that the right to win any of the PD In at least more than one of the stations 4 (81110: YES), randomly choose one of the holes 105 with the number from 00, 0, 136, and this selected well with the number is set as the bonus hole (81111).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the right to win 1P is not obtained in all stations 4 (81110: NO), the procedure goes to step 81114.

Then, at step 81112, the server control CPU 81 obtains a random number from the random number sampling scheme and conducts the lottery using the effect lottery table to determine whether the effect is to be notified of the number corresponding to the bonus well set at step 81111 and whether the notification effect is obtained about the form of 1P, the right to win which is received. Here in the effects lottery table, the range of random numbers is set so that the number is notified with a 90% probability. And, if a player gets the right to win the DR “MEGA” and “LARGE”, the DR view is notified with

- 25 010930 with a probability of 50%, and if a player qualifies to win 1P "MINI", the range of random numbers is set so that the 1P view is notified with a probability of 0% (the DR view is not notified).

After that, at step 81113, the server control CPU 81 transmits the result of the lottery 81112 to each station 4. And each station 4 performs the bonus hole notification effect using the image display device 8 and the loudspeaker 10 (see FIG. 31).

Then, at step 81114, the server control CPU 81 activates the win determination device after the ball 27 enters the hole 105 with the number or the bonus well, and determines which number the hole corresponds to when the ball 27 hit the well 105 with the number, or hits whether the ball 27 enters the bonus well set at step 81111. Based on the result of the determination, at step 81114, the server control CPU 81 transmits the form of the hole into which the ball 27 fell into each station 4 (81115).

Then, at step 81116, if it is determined that the ball 27 falls into any of the holes 105 with a number, it is determined whether the winnings have been received for the chips put in each station 4, based on the rate information of each station 4 adopted at step 81107 the wells determined in step 81114. Additionally, based on the type of well defined in step 81114, it is determined whether 1P won in the case where station 4 that received the right to win 1P exists.

Then, the server control CPU 81 performs the charge calculation process (81117). In the process of calculating the accrual, the winning chips placed on the winning number are recognized at each station 4, and the total amount of accrual of credits paid at each station 4 is calculated using the accrual ratio (the number of credits per chip (one rate)) for each area 72 The BET stored in the storage area 82A of the accrued credits in the ROM 82. And, if any of the PDs are won, the credit accumulated in each of the areas 83E-83C of the storage of the PD accumulation at the present time is calculated as the amount of accrual.

At step 81118, the server management CPU 81 executes the process of transferring the credit payout result based on the calculation process of the charge at step 81117. In particular, the credit data corresponding to the amount of accrual for the main game is output to the station control CPU 91 from the station, which wins the main game, and, if 1P is won, credit data corresponding to the amount of 1P accumulated at present is additionally displayed.

After that, at step 81119, a ball removal device placed under the wheel 104 is actuated, and the ball on the wheel 104 is removed. The removed ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 104 from the roulette device 102 in the next game.

As noted, in the roulette game machine according to the sixth embodiment, a station in which bets are placed in an amount greater than a predetermined amount is determined among stations 4, a lottery is held, is there a right to win any of the three types of PD for one of the many stations 4 that are defined (81,109). Additionally, if at least one station 4 that has won the right to win the DR exists (81110: YES), any of the wells 105 with a number is set as a bonus hole 107 (81111), and before the ball 27 falls into any of The holes in the roulette device 102, the number corresponding to the bonus well, is notified (81011). Therefore, it may be explicitly notified that the bonus well, for which the DR gain is confirmed, exists in any of the stations 4, before the lottery is held for this hole. Thus, the player's expectation regarding the bonus hole can be increased, and the fairness of the lottery in the game can be made so that the player recognizes it.

In the case where the bonus well is set on the basis that any of stations 4 gets the right to win the DR, and the ball 27 falls into the bonus well, set as mentioned above, any of the stations 4 necessarily receives the DR, so the player’s voltage can be reduced without waiting for a loss.

In addition, even if any of stations 4 gets the right to win 1P, the DR lottery using the bonus hole to receive the DR and the normal lottery using the number 105 hole are held at the same time using the same roulette device 102 without that to conduct them independently, so the game time can be reduced, and the player does not feel the tension.

Seventh version of the implementation.

A roulette playing machine according to a seventh embodiment is described below with reference to FIG. 33 and 34. Here in the explanation given below, the slot machine according to the seventh embodiment has the same construction as according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1-14, therefore, the same number used in the seventh embodiment indicates the same structural element in the roulette slot machine 1 as according to the first embodiment.

The external structure according to the seventh embodiment is almost the same as for the slot machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment. And, the various processes in the seventh embodiment are almost the same as in the slot machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment.

However, although in the slot machine 1 of the seventh embodiment, the game of

- 26 010930 occurs when two states change - insurance subscription status and insurance non-subscription status through an insurance rate button (not shown), which is displayed on the image display device 8 for a predetermined time after the bet time expires.

In particular, when the insurance bet button is pressed, the insurance subscription state is set by collecting a portion of the game payment means used (for example, 10% of credits delivered at all stations 4) as a bonus, and if the right to win the DR cannot be obtained in According to the lottery associated with obtaining the right to win the DR, it is done in such a way that a predetermined amount of game media is paid to compensate for the player’s losses. Here, the insurance rate button can be provided in the control part 7 (see FIG. 1). As a bonus, a part of the supplied game media may be collected. As described, collecting a part of the gaming payment received or held by the player on the side of the gaming machine as a premium does not require independently providing a pool (accumulator) for insurance on the side of the casino, therefore the casino administrator can easily manage the premium.

Below, with reference to FIG. 33 and 34, the game process program in the server executed by the server control CPU 81 in the roulette game machine according to the seventh embodiment, and the game process program in the station, executed by the station control CPU 91 in station 4 are described. Here are the programs shown in FIG. 33 and 34 are stored in the ROM 82 and the RAM 83 provided in the server 13, and in the ROM 92 and the RAM 93 provided in the station 4, and are executed by the server control CPU 81 and the station control CPU 91.

First described with reference to FIG. 33 and 34 program of the game process in the station. Here, the processes in steps 81201-81207 are the same as in steps 81-87 of the game process program (see FIGS. 11 and 12) in the station according to the first embodiment, therefore, their explanation is omitted.

At step 81208, the insurance bet button is displayed on the image display device 8 for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) and it is determined whether the insurance bet button is pressed for a predetermined time. And, if it is determined that the insurance bet button is pressed (81208: YES), the roulette slot machine goes to the insurance subscription state, and part of the game media (for example, 10% of the credits in all stations 4) used when performing bets are re-collected as a bonus (81209). On the other hand, if it is determined that the insurance bet button is not pressed (81208: NO), the slot machine switches to the state of no-subscription for insurance. Here, in the roulette game machine according to the seventh embodiment, by pressing the insurance bet button, the player can start the game by selecting one of two states: the insurance subscription status and the insurance subscription status. In particular, in the state of subscription for insurance, a part of the game means used when executing the bet is collected as a premium, and if the right to win the DR is not obtained in the lottery process, the rights to the DR (81309) mentioned below are made so that a predetermined number of The means of payment (for example, 50% of all credits made by the player, or 50% of the total bet amount set in the game) was paid (81218) to compensate for the player’s losses.

Then, at step 81210, the station management CPU 91 transmits information about the rate (indicated area 72 BET, the number of chips placed on area 72 (the bet amount)) performed by the player in station 4, and the existence of an insurance subscription if it exists.

Then, at step 81211, the station management CPU 91 receives from the server 13 the effect lottery result obtained according to the lottery — whether a bonus hole is notified to notify that the bonus hole is installed in the current game and the number corresponding to the established bonus hole.

At step 81212, based on the effect of the effect lottery, obtained at step 81211, it is determined whether the effect of notification of the bonus well is produced. As a result, if it is determined that the bonus hole notification effect is performed (81212: YES), the bonus hole notification effect process is performed using the image display device 8 and the loudspeaker 10 (81213). In particular, during the effect of notification of the bonus well, the player is informed that the bonus well is set in the current game, the number corresponding to the assigned bonus well, and the type of DR (DR type, the right to win which was received at step 81309), which can be obtained when the ball 27 falls into the bonus hole.

Here, with regard to the effect of the notification of the bonus produced at step 81213, such an effect is the same as in the slot machine in the sixth embodiment, thus its explanation is omitted.

Thereafter, at step 81214, after the lottery is completed by roulette device 102, well 105 with the number to which the ball 27 fell, and the type of bonus hole 107 is received from the server 13. At step 81215, the station control CPU 91 determines, in particular, ball into bonus well 107, set as mentioned above. And, if it is determined that the ball 27 hit the bonus well 107 (81215:

- 27 010930

YES), the effect of obtaining the 1P is performed to notify if the DR was received at such station 4 (81216). On the other hand, if it is determined that the ball 27 did not hit the bonus well 107 (81215: NO), the procedure goes to step 81217.

Here, the effect of obtaining the DR, performed at step 81216, is the same as in the slot machine in the sixth embodiment, thus its explanation is omitted.

At step 81217, the station management CPU 91 receives a credit payout result transmitted from the server management CPU 81. Here, the result of credit repayment consists of the result of the main game of roulette payment, which is carried out using the screen BET 110, the result of the payment of the DR when the DR is received, and the result of the payment that compensates the player’s losses when the insurance subscription status exists.

Thereafter, at step 81218, the payment of credits is performed based on the result of the payment adopted at step 81217. In particular, the data on credits in the roulette game, which is the main game, the data on credits of the amount of RR accumulated in the DR by now, if DR won, and credit data corresponding to 50% of the credits delivered, if the winnings are lost in the lottery of receiving the DR in the insurance subscription state, respectively, are saved in RAM 93. When the SA8NOIT button 48 is pressed, the tokens (usually one token for one credit), respectively The appropriate number of credits saved in RAM 93 is currently paid out of hole 9 for payment of tokens.

After that, in the case where the game continues at any of the stations 4, the procedure returns to step 81204, so the bet time starts again, and the procedure goes to the next game.

On the other hand, if the game is completed at all stations 4, the roulette game is completed.

Here in the seventh embodiment, although it is provided so that the insurance bet button is pressed after completing the process in step 81207, the applicability / non-applicability of the insurance bet operation can always be selected during the game (despite the current game or the next game) by collecting in advance a certain amount (for example, 1 bet among 10 bets) set for the main game by the player at the beginning of the game or another predetermined amount (for example, 1 bet) different from the amount set for the main game in achestve rates with insurance. And it can be provided so as to have a game state discriminator, by which the station control CPU 91 distinguishes between the applicability / non-applicability of the insured bet. Thus, on the station side, as an example, the current game state of station 4 can be recognized by the player through the distinctive display of the insured bet button in blue, if the insured bet button is applicable (available), or in red, if the bet button is insurance is not applicable (not available).

Additionally, credits to compensate for losses can be paid when the number of lost credits obtained by subtracting the number of credits paid out (received) based on the result of the game from the amount of credits delivered (used) by the player through the bet button reaches the upper limit value. And instead of the number of loans lost, loans can be repaid based on the repayment rate. For example, when the repayment rate becomes a predetermined repayment rate (for example, 60%), the loan may be repaid. As for repayment at this time, the credit can be repaid like a mysterious bonus. Thus, when the amount of a player’s loss reaches a predetermined rate, compensation is suddenly lost, and the player’s motivation to play increases, as a result, the player’s continuation of play can be stimulated.

The following is described with reference to FIG. 34 and 35 is a server-side game process program. Here, the processes in steps 81301 and 81306 are the same as in steps 8101-8106 of the game process program (see FIGS. 11 and 12) on the station side according to the first embodiment, thus their description is omitted.

At step 81307, the server management CPU 81 receives information about the rate (said bet 72 area, number of chips (bet amount) placed on said bet 72) and whether the insurance subscription status exists and stores them in the information storage area 83A rate in ram 83.

Thereafter, at step 81308, credits corresponding to 0.30% of the total number of credits delivered at each station 4, from which the rate information was obtained at step 81307, are cumulatively added to the amount of 1P "MINI" stored in the storage area 83E of the accumulation of PD in RAM 83. And credits corresponding to 0.20% are accumulatively added to the amount of DR “LARGE” stored in storage area 83E of DR accumulation in RAM 83. Additionally, credits 0.15% accumulatively add to the amount of DR “MEGA” stored in storage area 836 of 1P accumulation in RAM 83. And according to this, part of 15 display the amount of DR 111 and part of the MINI display portion 113 display MEGA updated.

Then, at step 81309, based on the bet information obtained at step 81307, the server control CPU 81 extracts (detects) station 4, in which the bet amount is greater than 50 rates, and conducts the lottery process for 1P to conduct the lottery, the right to win the DR in one station 4 or a plurality of identified (identified) stations 4. In the process of a lottery, the rights to 1P, in

- 28 010930 in particular, a random number is obtained from a random number sampling scheme, and the lottery is conducted using the lottery table for ΙΡ to determine if the right to win three types is obtained at each station 4. Here, as an example, in the lottery table, Случай the range of random numbers is set so that the probability of winning ΙΡ MINI becomes equal to 4.7684%, the probability of winning ΙΡ “LARGE” becomes equal to 0.4172%, and the probability to win 29 “MEGA” becomes equal to 0.0298% .

At step 81310, based on the result of the lottery in the lottery process, the right to этапе, at step 81109, determines whether the right to win any of ΙΡ has been obtained for at least more than one station 4. As a result, if it is determined that the right to win any of at least more than one station 4 is available (81310: YES), randomly choose any of the holes 105 with the number from 00, 0, 1-36, and this selected hole with the number is set as the bonus hole (81311).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the right to win ΙΡ is not obtained in all stations 4 (81310: NO), the procedure proceeds to step 81314.

Then, at step 81312, the server control CPU 81 obtains a random number through a random number sampling scheme and conducts the lottery using the effect lottery table to determine whether the effect of notification of the number corresponding to the bonus well set at step 81311 is produced and whether the effect is for notification About the form ΙΡ, the right to win which is received. Here in the effects lottery table, the range of random numbers is set so that the number is notified with a 90% probability. And, if a player gets the right to win ΙΡ “MEGA” and “LARGE”, the ΙΡ view is notified with a 50% probability, and if the player gets the right to win ΙΡ “MINI”, the range of random numbers is set so that the view is notified with a probability of 0 % (view ΙΡ not notified).

Thereafter, at step 81313, the server control CPU 81 transmits the result of the lottery 81312 to each station 4. And each station 4 performs the bonus hole notification effect using the image display device 8 and the loudspeaker 10.

Then, at step 81314, the server control CPU 81 activates the win determination device after the ball 27 enters the hole 105 with the number or the bonus well, and determines that the ball 27 hits the hole 105 with the number and which number corresponds to it or hit whether the ball 27 enters the bonus well set at step 81311. Based on the result of the determination, at step 81314, the server control CPU 81 transmits the form of the hole into which the ball 27 fell into each station 4 (81315).

Then, at step 81316, if it is determined that the ball 27 hit any of the wells 105 with a number, it is determined whether the winnings have been received for the chips put in each station 4, based on the rate information of each station 4 received at step 81307, and the shape of the hole determined in step 81314. Additionally, based on the type of well defined in step 81314, it is determined whether выиг is won in the case where station 4 that has won the right to win ΙΡ exists.

Then, the server control CPU 81 performs the charge calculation process (81317). In the process of calculating the accrual, the winning chips placed on the winning number are recognized at each station 4, and the total amount of accrual credits paid at each station 4 is calculated using the accrual factor (number of credits per chip (one rate)) for each area 72 BET stored in the storage area 82A of the accrued credits in the ROM 82. And, if any of ΙΡ is won, the credits currently accumulated in each of the накоп accumulation storage areas 83E-83C are calculated as the sum of the charges. Additionally, in the state of subscription to insurance, if there is a station 4 that lost the lottery for the right to win, 50% of the credits delivered in such station 4 is calculated as the sum of accrual.

At step 81318, the server management CPU 81 executes the process of transferring the credit payout result based on the accrual calculation process at step 81317. In particular, credit data corresponding to the amount of accrual in the base game is issued to the station control CPU 91 from the station which wins the main game, and, if ΙΡ is won, credit data corresponding to the amount currently accumulated ΙΡ is then issued. In addition, if there is a station 4 that lost the lottery for the right to win ΙΡ, then in order to compensate for the losses, credit data is issued, corresponding to 50% of the credits delivered in such a station 4.

Thereafter, at step 81319, a ball removal device placed under the wheel 104 is activated, and the ball on the wheel 104 is removed. The removed ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 104 from the roulette device 102 in the next game.

As mentioned above, in the roulette card machine according to the seventh embodiment, after the bet time has elapsed, the roulette machine changes to the insurance subscription state on the basis that additional credits are collected in station 4, in which the bet button is pressed with insurance, and even if the right to win ΙΡ cannot be obtained at such a station 4, 50% of credits delivered in the current game are returned. Therefore, player losses can be compensated. Thus, equity among players can be enhanced by compensating for player losses, and motivation to play can be increased.

Here, the present invention is not limited to the aforementioned embodiments, and various modifications and changes may be made within the scope of the present invention.

- 29 010930

For example, in the embodiments mentioned above, with respect to a reward advantageous to the player, such reward means that the game state transitions to a game state advantageous to the player, or the game result is advantageous to the player. In particular, such remuneration includes the fact that the bonus game is played and a game payment instrument with a predetermined value is paid.

And, for example, in the first embodiment, although a special bonus game that is conducted when the ball 27 hits the bonus well is determined by turning on the PLAY 11 lamp, as shown in FIG. 14, and all credits raised in each station 4 are paid in station 4, in which the winnings are received, the bonus game is not limited to the above-mentioned bonus game. For example, the BET screen image 61 displayed on the image display device 8 is changed to a screen image of a special bonus, and a player who touches an object that is first displayed on the screen of a special bonus can become a winner, and then all the credits raised in each station 4 can be paid to station 4, which is played by the winner. Unlike all loans, only a part of loans (for example, 1/2 loans) can be paid. Additionally, pre-determined credits can be paid to losers in addition to the winner.

In the first embodiment, although all credits raised in each station 4 are paid in station 4, in which a special bonus game is won, the result of the lottery that any of the stations 4 cannot win, can be provided based on the result of the special bonus lottery games. And, if such a lottery result that no station 4 can win, is realized, the credits that are planned to pay out in the current game (i.e., all the credits put in each station 4 in the current game) can be accumulated, and if station 4, in which the winnings were received, appears in the next bonus game, credits accumulated thus far can be accumulatively accumulated, and such credits can be paid to the station that received the winnings. Here the payout can be made in a game that runs after the next game.

Additionally, in the first to third embodiments, although if a station 4 appears in which the winnings are received in the bonus game, the credits put in each of the 12 stations 4 in the current game are paid out or accumulated in! Р, the game media (credits ), paid to the player, may include a game means of payment, delivered by a bet operation for any distribution in time. For example, such a game media can be a game media that is delivered in a game when the bonus hole is set, or it can be a game media that is delivered in previous games, or a game media that is delivered in games that have been played predetermined time. In particular, credits made in games that were previously held before the previous game can be repaid or accumulated in 1Р, in contrast to credits made in the current game. And credits made during a plurality of games played during a predetermined time can be paid or accumulated in! R.

In the first and second embodiments, regarding the condition for the fulfillment of a special bonus game and the condition for paying the bonus accrual, although a condition is established that a game means of payment of more than 10 credits is placed in station 4, the condition of having more than 10 credits may not be required. For example, such a condition can be satisfied by more than 1 bid. And without setting the condition by means of the value of the game media, the station 4, in which the bets are made by a specific type of game method (for example, a direct bet or an angular bet), can satisfy the condition — perform a special bonus game and condition — pay bonus accruals.

In the fourth embodiment, although the accrual of the bonus is calculated and paid out, in accordance with the case when the ball 27 enters the bonus well 24, based on the number of credits made by the bet operation conducted by the player through the BET screen image 61 and the accrual rate corresponding to this method The rates, the bonus accrual, which is calculated on the basis of only the number of credits delivered, can be paid out, or the accrual of the bonus, calculated on the basis of only the rate method (i.e. payment rates) can be paid.

Here, the concept of the bet method includes the type and number of distinguishing numbers on which the game media is placed, and the zoom factor when such a distinctive number is won.

In the sixth embodiment, although the number of bonus holes is set to one in the case where the right to win! P is received at any of the stations 4, more than two bonus holes can be set.

Additionally, in the seventh embodiment, the compensation of losses means that the game state shifts to the game state advantageous to the player, or to obtain a profitable game result for the player. In particular, such remuneration includes the fact that the bonus game is played and the game media is paid in advance of a predetermined value. Additional transaction rates may be accepted to compensate for losses, and such losses may be compensated.

- 30 010930 (returned) to the player when an additional bet operation is accepted.

And, for example, although 50% of the credits returned are returned to the player in the state of subscription to insurance, if the right to win the DR cannot be obtained by means of a rate with insurance, for example, the right to win 1Р can be forcibly obtained, or compensation can be made by increasing the repayment rate within a predetermined time.

Additionally, credits to compensate for losses can be paid when the lost amount of credits obtained by subtracting the number of credits paid (received) based on the game result from the number of credits (used) set by the player through the bet button reaches the upper limit value. And instead of the lost amount of loans, loans can be repaid based on the repayment rate. For example, when the repayment rate becomes a predetermined rate (for example, 60%), loans can be repaid. Provided that the winnings are not received in station 4 within a predetermined time, losses can be compensated for such station 4. Thus, the motivation for the game can be increased for the player of the aforementioned gaming machine who loses interest in the game without receiving a win.

In the first to seventh embodiments, although such embodiments are described with reference to the roulette slot machine 1 with the roulette device 3, for example, the present invention may be acceptable for a lotto slot machine or a keno slot machine.
