  If it is determined in step 121 that there is a slot machine game start condition, that is, if it is determined that a game medal has been inserted, the process proceeds to step 122. In step 122, a slot machine game is started. The slot machine game is played by an electronic control device. In the electronic control device, when a start signal output by the operation of the main start switch 61 is input, a plurality of types of symbols are continuously displayed on the display units 20 to 22 of the image display screen 11 sequentially and at high speed. Let

Next, the process proceeds from step 122 to step 123, where it is determined whether or not a stop signal is input. This determination is made by an electronic control unit. In the electronic control device, it is monitored whether all the stop switches of the left stop switch 71, the middle stop switch 81, and the right stop switch 91 have been operated.
If it is determined that all the stop switches have been turned on, the process proceeds to the next step 124 to determine whether or not the game result is a win. This determination is made by an electronic control unit. In the electronic control device, the combination of stop symbols on the active line is grasped, and it is determined whether or not the combination of stop symbols stopped and displayed on the display units 20 to 22 is a predetermined combination. In the present embodiment, it is determined that the combination of symbols on the active line is a win when all of the combinations such as “333”, “444”, “555”, “666”, “777”, etc. are the same. The The combination of “777” is a combination of symbols for winning and a combination of symbols for shifting to the bonus game.

If it is determined that the game result is a win, the process proceeds from step 124 to step 125. In step 125, the number of award medals as a profit given to the player is counted, the main game process 120 is finished, and the process proceeds to the next sub game process 130. In this embodiment, the number of award medals as profits given to the player is, for example, four.
On the other hand, when it is not determined that the game result is a win, in this embodiment, when the combination of symbols on the active line is a combination such as “143”, “443”, “525”, and “678”, for example. The award medal is not given, and the main game process 120 is finished as it is, and the next sub game process 130 is started.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 123 described above that there is no stop signal input, that is, any one of the stop switch of the left stop switch 71, the middle stop switch 81, and the right stop switch 91 is not operated, and the stop signal is If not yet output, it is determined in step 123 whether all stop signals have been input.
If it is determined in step 121 described above that there is no slot machine game start condition, that is, if it is determined that no game medal has been inserted, the main game process 120 ends, The process proceeds to the next sub game process 130.

Next, the sub game process 130 will be described focusing on the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, in step 131, it is determined whether or not there is an award medal as a profit given to the player. This determination is made by an electronic control unit. In the electronic control device, the presence or absence of an award medal as a profit given to the player is monitored.

  If it is determined in step 131 that there is a prize medal, the process proceeds to the next step 132 to determine whether or not there is a bonus game. This determination is made by an electronic control unit. In the electronic control device, it is determined whether or not the award medal given as a profit to the player is a profit obtained by a combination of symbols transferred to the bonus game. In the present embodiment, among the symbol combinations determined to be the winning game result, for example, the symbol combinations of “7”, “7”, and “7” are awarded prize medals, but the game proceeds to the bonus game. It is a combination of symbols. Therefore, when the stop symbol on the active line is a combination of symbols “7”, “7”, and “7”, it is determined that the game is a bonus game.

  If it is determined in step 132 that the game is not a bonus game, the process proceeds to the next step 133, and it is determined whether or not the start of the sub game is selected. This determination is made by an electronic control unit. In the electronic control device, it is monitored whether or not the sub game selection switch 72 is operated. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the image display screen 11 displays a state asking whether or not to select a sub-game of “DOUBLEUP GAME?” And “IF WIN 4 → 8”. .

If it is determined in step 133 that the start of the sub game has been selected, the process proceeds to the next step 134. In step 134, a sub game is started.
Here, the sub-game will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 and FIGS.
As described above, when the sub game is started, as shown in FIG. 9, a basic number display unit 50 for displaying basic numbers is displayed at the center of the image display screen 11.

Then, as shown in FIG. 9, a predetermined number, in the present embodiment, a number from “0 to 9” is sequentially displayed on the basic number display section 50 at a high speed.
When the basic fluctuation control switch 62 is operated while the numbers from “0” to “9” are sequentially displayed at a high speed on the basic numeral display section 50, the fluctuation display of the numbers in the basic numeral display section 50 is stopped. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, “2” is stopped and the basic number is determined.

When the basic number is determined, as shown in FIG. 11, the numbers in the selected number display units 40 to 42 provided in the lower stage of the display units 20 to 22 of the image display screen 11 are sequentially displayed at high speed.
In each of the selection display units 40 to 42, when any one of the selection fluctuation stop left switch 73, the selection fluctuation stop switch 82, or the selection fluctuation stop right switch 93 is operated in a state where the numbers are variably displayed, Among the selection display units 40 to 42, the numerical variation display in the corresponding selection variation display unit is stopped, and any of the numbers that can be displayed is displayed on the selected numerical variation display unit according to any of the operated switches. One number is stopped and displayed. In addition, when any one of the selection fluctuation stop left switch 73, the selection fluctuation stop switch 82, or the selection fluctuation stop right switch 93 is operated, the selected digit fluctuation display section corresponding to one of the operated switches The numbers that are displayed in a stopped state are displayed on the selection display units 40 to 42 in a variable manner at a high speed. Stopping and displaying arbitrary numbers is a difficult technique even for those skilled in the game.

In this embodiment, the selection variation stop left switch 73 is operated, and the number “5”, for example, is stopped and displayed on the left selection display unit 40 as shown in FIG.
Next, the process proceeds to step 135, where the number “2” stopped and displayed on the basic number display unit 50 is compared with the number “5” displayed on the left selected number display unit 40 and the result of the sub game is determined. It is determined whether or not it is a hit.

When the number “2” stopped on the basic number display unit 50 and the number “5” displayed on the left selected number display unit 40 are compared, “5” displayed on the left selected number display unit 40 is displayed. "Is larger, it is determined that the result of the sub game is a win.
If it is determined in step 135 that the result of the sub game is a win, the process proceeds to the next step 136. In step 136, the profit previously given to the player is increased. In this embodiment, since there are four award medals as profits previously given to the player, it is doubled to eight. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, “WIN” and “8” are largely displayed in the center of the image display screen 11. When the prize medal is doubled, the process returns to step 133 again to determine whether or not the start of the sub game is selected. Therefore, when the prize medal doubles, the sub game can be continued by the player's selection. Also, the sub game can be ended.

Thus, since the player can freely select whether to continue the sub game or to play the main game again, it is possible to play a game while maintaining a high level of entertainment according to the player's orientation.
On the other hand, when the selection fluctuation stop switch 82 is operated, for example, the numeral “2” is stopped and displayed on the selection numeral display section 41 at the center as shown in FIG.

In step 135, the number “2” stopped and displayed on the basic number display unit 50 is compared with the number “2” displayed on the center selected number display unit 41 and the center selected number display unit 41 is compared. Since the number displayed on the screen is the same as the number displayed on the basic number display section 50, it is determined that the result of the sub game is not successful and the process proceeds to the next step 137.
In step 137, it is determined whether or not the result of the sub game is not a draw. In this case, since the result of the sub game is a draw, a large “DRAW” is displayed in the center on the image display screen 11 as shown in FIG. 15, and then the process returns to step 133 again to start the sub game. It is determined whether or not is selected. Therefore, even in the case of a draw, the sub game can be continued by the player's selection.

On the other hand, when the selection change stop right switch 93 is operated, as shown in FIG. 16, for example, the number “1” is stopped and displayed on the selection number display section 42 on the right.
In step 135, the number “2” displayed on the basic number display unit 50 is compared with the number “1” displayed on the right selected number display unit 42 and displayed on the right selected number display unit 42. Since “1” is smaller, it is determined that the result of the sub game is not successful, and the process proceeds to the next step 137.

  In step 137, it is determined whether or not the result of the sub game is not a draw. In this case, since the result of the sub game is not a draw, the process proceeds to step 138, and the profit previously given to the player is confiscated. In this embodiment, all four award medals are confiscated. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, “LOSE” and “X” are largely displayed in the center of the image display screen 11, and the sub game process 130 is ended, and the process proceeds to the next bonus game process 140.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 133 described above that the start of the sub game is not selected, that is, if the main game selection switch 92 is operated, the sub game process 130 ends and the next bonus game is finished. The process proceeds to process 140.
If it is determined in step 132 described above that the game is a bonus game, the sub game process 130 ends and the process proceeds to the next bonus game process 140.

If it is determined in the above-described step 131 that there is no prize medal, the sub game process 130 ends, and the process proceeds to the next bonus game process 140.
Next, the bonus game process 140 will be described focusing on the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, in step 141, it is determined whether or not the game is a bonus game. This determination is made by an electronic control unit. In the electronic control device, it is determined whether or not the award medal given as a profit to the player is a profit obtained by a combination of symbols transferred to the bonus game. In the present embodiment, among the symbol combinations determined to be the winning game result, the symbol combinations “7”, “7”, and “7” are symbol combinations that shift to the bonus game. Therefore, when a prize medal is awarded when the stop symbol on the active line is a combination of symbols “7”, “7”, and “7”, it is determined that the profit is obtained by the bonus game.

If it is determined in step 141 that the game is a bonus game, the process proceeds to step 142. In step 142, a bonus game is started. In this embodiment, the bonus game has a content that a predetermined number of slot machine games are executed in a state where the probability that the game result is a hit is improved, for example.
Next, the process proceeds from step 142 to step 143. In step 143, it is determined whether or not the bonus game result is reached. This determination is made by an electronic control unit. In the electronic control device, as in the slot machine game, the combination of stop symbols on the active line is grasped, and whether or not the combination of stop symbols stopped and displayed on the active line is a predetermined combination. Is determined. In the present embodiment, it is determined that the combination of symbols on the active line is a win when all of the combinations such as “333”, “444”, “555”, “666”, “777”, etc. are the same. The The combination of “777” is a winning symbol combination, but during the bonus game, it is not a symbol combination that shifts to the bonus game.

If it is determined that the result of the bonus game is a win, the process proceeds to step 144. In step 144, based on the result of the bonus game, the award medal as a profit for the player is increased, the bonus game process 140 ends, and the process proceeds to the next medal payout process 150.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the result of the bonus game is not successful, the bonus game process 140 ends, and the process proceeds to the next medal payout process 150.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 141 described above that the game is not a bonus game, the bonus game process 140 ends and the process proceeds to the next bonus game process 140.
Next, the medal payout process 150 will be described with a focus on the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, in step 151, it is determined whether or not there is an award medal given as a profit to the player. This determination is made by an electronic control unit.

If the electronic control unit determines that there is a prize medal, the process proceeds from step 151 to step 152. In step 152, the award medal is paid out from the medal payout opening 17 to the medal storage tray 18, the medal payout processing 150 is finished, and the processing relating to the present invention is finished.
On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no prize medal, the prize medal is not paid out, the medal payout process 150 is finished as it is, and the process related to the present invention is finished.

  Next, another embodiment related to the subgame described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 22 are drawings for explaining the second embodiment. 23 and 24 are drawings for explaining the third embodiment. 25 and 26 are drawings for explaining the fourth embodiment. FIG. 27 is a drawing for explaining the fifth embodiment. FIG. 28 is a drawing for explaining the sixth embodiment.

First, a second embodiment relating to the subgame will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 is an enlarged front view of the operation panel, FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing a screen for selecting conditions during the sub game, and FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram showing the screen during the sub game.
Note that the image display screen 11 for the second embodiment relating to the subgame is basically the same as the image display screen 11 for the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

As described below, the second embodiment relating to the subgame differs from the first embodiment in that the player can freely select the conditions for increasing profits.
That is, in the second embodiment, the profit increase is that the selected number stopped and displayed on the selected number display units 40 to 42 is larger than the basic number stopped and displayed on the basic number display unit 50. Or a condition for increasing profit that the selected number is smaller than the basic number can be selected by an external operation of the player.

As in the first embodiment, the operation panel 12 in the second embodiment is provided with a total of six switches from A to F in order from the left, as shown in FIG. Each of the switches A to F has the same function as that of the first embodiment, but the E switch 100 and the F switch 110 have the following functions in addition to this.
The E switch 100 is used to select, as a condition for doubling the prize medal, that the selected number stopped and displayed on the selected number display units 40 to 42 is smaller than the basic number stopped and displayed on the basic number display unit 50. It is also a condition small selection switch 160.

The F switch 110 is also a large condition selection switch 161 for selecting that the selected number is larger than the basic number as a condition for doubling the prize medal.
In the second embodiment of the sub game, when the start of the sub game is selected, as shown in FIG. 21, a basic number display section 50 for displaying basic numbers in the center of the image display screen 11 is displayed. Is displayed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 21, a predetermined number, that is, a number from “0 to 9” in the present embodiment is sequentially displayed on the basic number display section 50 at a high speed.
When the basic fluctuation control switch 62 is operated while the numbers from “0” to “9” are sequentially displayed at a high speed on the basic numeral display section 50, the fluctuation display of the numbers in the basic numeral display section 50 is stopped. Any one of the displayable numbers, in this embodiment, for example, “2” is stopped and displayed as shown in FIG. 21, and the basic number is determined.

When the basic number is determined, “UP OR DOWN” is displayed at the lower end of the image display screen 11 as shown in FIG. 21, and the selected number is larger or smaller than the determined basic number. The player can select either of the above as a condition for doubling the prize medal.
Then, if the player wants to select [UP], that is, if the player wants to make the award medal doubling condition that the selected number is larger than the basic number determined by the player, the large condition selection switch 161 is operated.

When the player operates the large condition selection switch 161, as shown in FIG. 22, the numbers in the selected number display units 40 to 42 provided in the lower stage of the display units 20 to 22 of the image display screen 11 are sequentially increased in speed. And “UP” is displayed in the upper left part of the image display screen 11.
In each of the selection display units 40 to 42, with the number displayed in a variable manner, operate any one of the selection fluctuation stop left switch 73, the selection fluctuation stop switch 82, or the selection fluctuation stop right switch 93. Any one of the displayable numbers is stopped and displayed on the selected number fluctuation display section corresponding to any one of the switches.

Next, as in the first embodiment, the basic number stopped and displayed on the basic number display unit 50 is compared with the selected number stopped and displayed on any of the selected number display units 40 to 42.
Since the player operates the large condition selection switch 161 first, when the selected number is larger than the basic number, the profit previously given to the player increases. On the other hand, when the selected number is smaller than the basic number, the profit previously given is confiscated. Further, when the basic number and the selected number are the same, it becomes a draw, and the profit previously given is returned as it is.

On the other hand, if the player wants to select “DOWN”, that is, if the player wants to make the prize medal doubling condition that the selected number is smaller than the basic number determined by the player, the small condition selection switch 160 is operated.
When the small condition selection switch 160 is operated, the profit previously given to the player increases when the selected number is smaller than the basic number. On the other hand, when the selected number is larger than the basic number, the previously granted profit is confiscated. When the basic number and the selected number are the same, as in the case where “UP” is selected, a draw is made, and the previously assigned profit is returned as it is.

  In this way, as a condition for doubling the award medal, which is the profit previously given to the player, the player must set a condition that the selected number is larger or smaller than the basic number. Since it can be selected, the player does not feel distrust or unfairness with respect to the sub-game result further than that described in the second embodiment. Therefore, the player can play the game without feeling distrust or unfairness with respect to the sub game result.

Next, a third embodiment relating to the sub game will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram showing a sub game screen, and FIG. 24 is an enlarged front view of the operation panel.

Like the E switch, the F switch 110 is a credit maximum insertion switch 111 for inserting a credit medal credited in the plane as the game medal, and the numerical display of the symbol display unit 170. This is a symbol fluctuation stop switch 181 for stopping.

Then, when the sub game selection switch 72 is operated, as shown in FIG. 23, a symbol display portion 170... Is displayed at the center of the image display screen 11 and a lighting portion outside the symbol display portion. 171 ... repeats blinking display in a roulette form while rotating clockwise, thereby displaying numerical fluctuations.
When the player operates the symbol variation stop switch 181 in a state where the blinking is repeated so that the lighting unit 171 sequentially rotates clockwise, the lighting unit 171 stops the rotation display by blinking. Then, when the movement is stopped at a position corresponding to any number and the lighting is continued, the number is stopped and displayed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, since the lighting unit 171 continues to be lit at a position corresponding to the number “2”, the number “2” is stopped and displayed.

  Corresponding to the stop-displayed number, the award medal, which is the profit previously given, is increased or decreased. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, when the lighting units 171... Stop blinking and the lighting units 171... Corresponding to the position of the number "2" continue to be lit, When there are four award medals as profits obtained earlier, the number is doubled to “4 × 2 = 8”. Further, for example, when the lighting unit 171 corresponding to the position of the number “3” is continuously lit, “4 × 3 = 12” is obtained, and the award medal as the profit obtained earlier is tripled. It increases to. For example, when the lighting unit 171 corresponding to the position of the number “1” is continuously lit, “4 × 1 = 4” is obtained, and the award medal as the profit obtained earlier is 1 time. In other words, the current situation is maintained. For example, when the lighting unit 171... Corresponding to the position of the number “0” is continuously lit, “4 sheets × 0 = 0 sheets”, and the award medal that is the profit obtained earlier is All will be confiscated. For this reason, as in the so-called roulette game, the stop process of the lighting portions 171... Can be clearly seen, so that the subgame can be made more thrilling.

Further, a fourth embodiment relating to the sub game will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 25 is an explanatory diagram showing a sub game screen, and FIG. 26 is an enlarged front view of the operation panel.
