The satellite control CPU 91 increases the number of credits of the player stored in the RAM 93 based on the transmitted credit signal.

  Next, a main processing program in the roulette game machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, a game processing program related to a normal roulette game using the first BET screen 31 will be described below. FIG. 13 is a flowchart of a normal roulette game processing program using the first BET screen in the roulette game machine. Each program shown in the flowchart in FIG. 13 is stored in the ROM 81 or the RAM 82 provided in the roulette game machine 1 and is executed by the main control CPU 80.

  First, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1, the main control CPU 80 determines whether or not a medal or money has been inserted by the player. In the roulette game machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a medal or money is inserted into the medal acceptance device 5 by any satellite 4, a medal insertion signal is transmitted from the satellite control unit 90 of the satellite 4 to the main control unit 83. It is done. As a result, the main control CPU 80 determines whether the player has inserted medals or money. If no medal or money is inserted (S1: NO), the process waits until it is inserted. If a medal or money is inserted (S1: YES), the process proceeds to S2. When a medal or money is inserted, the satellite control unit 90 records credit data of an amount corresponding to the number of inserted coins in the RAM 93.

  Further, the first BET screen 31 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the image display device 7 of the satellite 4 used by the player, and the player can bet chips. Other players can participate in the game halfway, and the roulette gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment can play with up to 10 players.

  Then, a betting period, which is a receiving period during which a player can bet, is started from the time when a player who participates first inserts a medal or money (S2). If the current game is played after the previous game, the betting period starts immediately after the previous game ends. A player who participated in the game can bet his / her chip on the BET area 42 related to the number that he / she expects by operating the touch panel 28 during the betting period (see FIG. 3). Since the specific betting method using the first BET screen 31 has already been described, the description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, in S3, it is determined whether or not the betting period has ended. Here, the betting period is displayed by the BET timer graph 39, and the red graph gradually extends to the right side from the start of the betting period (S2). The betting period in the current game ends when it extends to the rightmost side.

  Here, before the betting period ends (S3: NO), the bet is continuously accepted. On the other hand, when the betting period ends (S3: YES), the satellite controller 90 of all satellites 4 terminates the betting. A signal is output, and an image indicating that the betting has been completed is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 29 of each satellite 4, and the betting operation on the touch panel 28 is prohibited. Then, the bet information (the designated BET area 42 and the number of chips bet on the designated BET area 42) made by the player in each satellite 4 is received (S4) and stored in the bet information storage area 82A of the RAM 82. .

Next, the main control device 101 executes a lottery process by the roulette wheel 3 according to the game execution program. First, in S5, the ball throwing device 85 is driven to throw the ball 16 into the roulette wheel 3. The thrown ball 16 rolls on the roulette wheel 3 along the guide wall 18 and then rolls down the slope of the frame 11 and goes inward when the rotational speed decreases and the centrifugal force is lost. The rotating disk 12 is rotated (see FIG. 2).
Then, the ball 16 rolling on the rotating disk 12 passes on the number display plate 14 on the outer side of the rotating rotating disk 12 and is stored in one of the ball storing grooves 13, and the ball storing groove 13 in which the balls 16 are stored. The numbers (“0”, “00”, “1” to “36”) written on the number display board 14 corresponding to the number are winning numbers.

  Subsequently, after the ball 16 is accommodated in the ball accommodating groove 13, the main control CPU 80 drives the hit determination device 84 to determine which number of the ball accommodating groove 13 the ball 16 is accommodated in (S6).

  Further, from the bet information of each satellite 4 received in S4 and the winning number determined in S6, it is determined whether or not the chip betted in each satellite 4 is winning (S7).

Based on the winning determination in S7, it is determined whether or not the chip betted in at least one satellite 4 has been won (S8). If it is determined that the chip is won (S8: YES), the main control CPU 80 executes a payout calculation process (S9). In the payout calculation process, each satellite 4 is recognized using the odds (the number of credits paid out per chip) for each BET area 42 stored in the payout credit storage area 81A of the ROM 81 by recognizing the winning chip for each satellite 4. Calculate the total dividend amount of credits to be paid. Subsequently, the process proceeds to S10.
On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no winning chip in all the satellites 4 (S8: NO), the process proceeds to S11.

  In S10, a credit payout process is executed based on the payout calculation process in S9. When paying out credits to the satellite 4, credit data corresponding to the payout amount is output from the main control unit 83 to the satellite control unit 90 of the selected satellite 4. This credit data is added to the RAM 93 of the corresponding satellite 4.

  In S <b> 11, a ball collection device provided below the rotating disk 12 is driven to collect the balls 16 on the rotating disk 12. The collected balls 16 are thrown into the roulette wheel 3 again in the next and subsequent games. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S12.

  In S12, it is determined whether or not the game is continuously performed in at least one satellite 4. When the player finishes the game, the player usually presses the refund button 23. When the payout button 23 is pressed, a medal (usually one medal for one credit) according to the credit owned by the current player acquired by the game or the like is paid out from the medal payout exit 8.

When the game is continuously performed in any of the satellites 4 (S12: NO), the process returns to S2, the betting period is started again, and the next game is started.
On the other hand, when the game is ended in all the satinites 4 (S12: YES), the roulette game process is ended.

  Next, a game processing program related to a numbers format roulette game using the second BET screen 33 will be described below. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of a roulette game processing program in the numbers format using the second BET screen in the roulette game machine. 14 are stored in the ROM 81 and the RAM 82 provided in the roulette game machine 1 and executed by the main control CPU 80.

  First, in S21, the main control CPU 80 determines whether or not a player has inserted medals or money. In the roulette game machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a medal or money is inserted into the medal acceptance device 5 by any satellite 4, a medal insertion signal is transmitted from the satellite control unit 90 of the satellite 4 to the main control unit 83. It is done. As a result, the main control CPU 80 determines whether the player has inserted medals or money. If no medal or money is inserted (S21: NO), the process waits until it is inserted. If a medal or money is inserted (S21: YES), the process proceeds to S22. When a medal or money is inserted, the satellite control unit 90 records credit data of an amount corresponding to the number of inserted coins in the RAM 93.

  Further, the second BET screen 33 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the image display device 7 of the satellite 4 used by the player, and it becomes possible to bet chips. Other players can participate in the game halfway, and the roulette gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment can play with up to 10 players.

Then, a betting period, which is a receiving period during which the player can bet, is started from the time when the player who first participates inserts a medal or money (S22). Note that the number-type roulette game, unlike the normal roulette game, can bet a chip in the next game immediately after the predetermined betting period is over.
The player who participated in the game operates the touch panel 28 during this betting period, and selects three numbers (for example, “6”, “30”, “17”) to display three to six digits. A lottery number (for example, “63017”) can be formed, and his / her chips can be betted (see FIG. 4). Since the specific betting method using the second BET screen 33 has already been described, the description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, in S23, it is determined whether or not the current betting period has ended. Here, the betting period of this time is displayed by the BET timer graph 65, and the red graph starts to gradually extend to the right side when the betting period in the previous game ends. And when it extends to the rightmost side, the betting period in the current game ends.

  Here, before the betting period ends (S23: NO), the bet is continuously accepted. On the other hand, when the betting period ends (S23: YES), a bet end signal is sent to the satellite control unit 90 of all satellites 4. An image indicating that the current bet has ended is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 29 of each satellite 4. After that, only the betting operation for the next game is possible. Then, the current bet information (three designated numbers, a lottery number constituted by the designated number, and the number of chips bet on the lottery number) received by the player at each satellite 4 is received (S24). ), And stored in the bet information storage area 82A of the RAM 82.

Next, the main control device 101 executes a lottery process by the roulette wheel 3 according to the game execution program. First, in S25, the ball throwing device 85 is driven to throw the ball 16 into the roulette wheel 3. The thrown ball 16 rolls on the roulette wheel 3 along the guide wall 18 and then rolls down the slope of the frame 11 and goes inward when the rotational speed decreases and the centrifugal force is lost. The rotating disk 12 is rotated (see FIG. 2).
Then, the ball 16 rolling on the rotating disk 12 passes on the number display plate 14 on the outer side of the rotating rotating disk 12 and is stored in one of the ball storing grooves 13, and the ball storing groove 13 in which the balls 16 are stored. The numbers (“0”, “00”, “1” to “36”) written on the number display board 14 corresponding to the number are winning numbers.

  Subsequently, after the ball 16 is stored in the ball storage groove 13, the main control CPU 80 drives the hit determination device 84 to determine which number of the ball storage groove 13 the ball 16 is stored in (S26).

  Thereafter, in S27, it is determined whether or not a specified number of lottery processes have been performed. In the present embodiment, in the roulette board 3, three lotteries are performed on the roulette board 3 for one game, and three winning numbers (for example, “17”, “6”, “30”) are determined accordingly. Is done.

If the specified number of lotteries has not been completed (S27: NO), the process returns to S25, the ball 16 is inserted, and the next lottery is performed.
On the other hand, when the specified number of lotteries has been completed (S27: YES), the process proceeds to S28.

  In S28, the three numbers (for example, “6”, “30”) selected in each satellite 4 from the bet information of each satellite 4 received in S24 and the three winning numbers determined in S26. , “17”) and a winning number (for example, “63017”) and three winning numbers (for example, “17”, “6”, “30”) obtained by the lottery result ( For example, it is determined whether “17630”) matches. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S29.

  Based on the number matching determination in S29, it is determined whether or not the lottery number and the winning number completely match in at least one satellite 4 (S29). When it is determined that there is a matching number (S29: YES), a straight win is made and the main control CPU 80 executes a payout calculation process (S30). In the payout calculation process, a winning chip is recognized for each satellite 4, and the total payout amount of credits to be paid out to each satellite 4 is calculated using the payout table 61 stored in the payout table storage area 81 B of the ROM 81. Subsequently, the process proceeds to S31.

In S31, a credit payout process is executed based on the payout calculation process in S30. When paying out credits to the satellite 4, credit data corresponding to the payout amount is output from the main control unit 83 to the satellite control unit 90 of the selected satellite 4. This credit data is added to the RAM 93 of the corresponding satellite 4.
On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no completely matched number in all the satellites 4 (S29: NO), the process proceeds to S32.

Subsequently, in S32, based on the coincidence determination of the number in S28, it is determined whether or not the numbers constituting the lottery number and the winning number match. If it is determined that the constituent numbers match (S32: YES), the box win is selected and the main control CPU 80 executes a payout calculation process (S30). In the payout calculation process, a winning chip is recognized for each satellite 4, and the total payout amount of credits to be paid out to each satellite 4 is calculated using the payout table 61 stored in the payout table storage area 81 B of the ROM 81. In S31, a credit payout process is executed.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the constituent numbers do not match in all the satellites 4 (S32: NO), the process proceeds to S33.

  In S33, the ball collecting device provided below the rotating disk 12 is driven to collect the balls 16 on the rotating disk 12. The collected balls 16 are thrown into the roulette wheel 3 again in the next and subsequent games. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S34.

  In S34, it is determined whether or not the game is continuously performed in at least one satellite 4. When the player finishes the game, the player usually presses the refund button 23. When the payout button 23 is pressed, a medal (usually one medal for one credit) according to the credit owned by the current player acquired by the game or the like is paid out from the medal payout exit 8.

When the game is continuously performed in any of the satellites 4 (S34: NO), the process returns to S23 and a bet can be made again for the next game.
On the other hand, when the game is ended in all the satinites 4 (S34: YES), the number-type roulette game process is ended.

  Note that the normal roulette game performed in S1 to S12 and the numbers-type roulette game performed in S21 to S34 are simultaneously performed in one roulette game machine 1. That is, a player who is playing a game can switch between the first BET screen 31 and the second BET screen 33 by pressing the screen switching buttons 34 and 46 displayed on the liquid crystal screen 29, and the first BET screen can be displayed. It is possible to display the second BET screen 33 while performing a normal roulette game using 31, and to simultaneously perform a numbers format roulette game.

As described above, in the roulette gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the first BET screen 31 provided with the same table type betting board 30 as the conventional one and the second BET screen 33 provided with the new number selection type betting board 32.

Among them, in the roulette game using the second BET screen 33, the numbers (“0”, “00”, “1” to “36”) displayed on the number display board 14 of the roulette wheel 3 using the number selection unit 44. 38 types), and the 3 lottery results including the current lottery result are predicted, and 3 to 6 digit lottery numbers are selected using three numbers. Then, after performing the lottery process three times on the roulette wheel 3, it is determined whether the selected lottery number matches the winning number obtained from the lottery result, or whether the lottery numbers constituting each number match the winning numbers. Since the credit is paid out based on the coincidence form, the player can play a new roulette game in the number format on one roulette game machine 1. Therefore, the playability of the roulette game machine 1 is diversified, and the player is not bored.
Further, in the number-type roulette game using the second BET screen 33, a credit payout with a maximum magnification of 1000 times is provided to the player, so that the player's willingness to play can be increased.
