Further, the central processing unit 120 is a main processor in which a reel game program is stored in the case of an electronic reel game machine, and in the case of a mechanical reel game machine, a processor for controlling the operation of the reel, the reel driving motor and these reel driving motors. The one consisting of

The central processing unit 120 receives the output signal from the money input detection unit 110 and the input unit 130, and executes the reel game while displaying the display 140, the prize discharge device 150, and the lamp lighting unit ( 160 to control the operation.

As shown in FIG. 2, the input unit 130 applies a plurality of buttons (service call button, coin discharge button, line and bet button, Max bet button, previous bet button, etc.) 131. In addition, in the present embodiment, the touch screen 141 touch input by the game player is included therein.

The display 140 is a well-known one that can output characters such as game images and scores on the screen, such as CRT monitor, PDP, LCD. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the reels with 11 characters are variably displayed through the display 140 to have an arrangement of vertical * horizontal = 3 * 5.

The premium discharge device 150 has a structure is determined according to the type of prizes, such a premium discharge device 150 is already well-known and performing, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, when a predetermined winning condition is satisfied, a plurality of coins are discharged through the coin outlet 151.

The lamp lighting unit 160 is a lamp 161 attached to the upper part of the reel game machine 100, and displays the progress of the game to add rotation, flashing, or interest according to the control of the central processing unit 120 or the request of the game operator. It is configured to be used.

In addition, the control operation of the central processing unit 120 will be described in more detail as follows.

The player inputs a plurality of buttons 131 provided in the input unit 130 to determine the number of lines and the bet amount and to start the game. In this embodiment, a specific line is designated among 25 designated lines according to the bet amount.

Accordingly, the central processing unit 120 controls the display 140 such that the reels each having eleven characters (illustrated in FIG. 3) are randomly generated in an array of vertical * horizontal = 3 * 5.

Subsequently, if one or more of the same characters are arranged among three of the eleven characters (illustrated in FIG. 3) in any one of twenty five designated lines (illustrated in FIG. 4) in the ongoing main game, the line is won. Will correspond to

That is, referring to FIG. 5, in the LINE19 array of 25 designated lines (illustrated in FIG. 4), three 'treasure boxes' are arranged among 11 characters (illustrated in FIG. 3). If a player wins the game, he / she meets the conditions for winning the double-up game.

In addition, the double-up game is set such that the wheel selected by the player is rotated and randomly generated at 'W (win)' or 'L (lose') to receive or lose the winning amount.

At this time, since the ratio of win and lose can be specified in a certain ratio on the original, the probability can be adjusted by the decimal point.

That is, in preparation for the area ratio, three areas among eight divided areas such as three-eighths (3/8) can be used as a win area.

The advantage of such an assignment is that in the case of a conventional card game, it is possible to predict a card to be developed later with the past result, but the present invention is advantageous because the probability of occurrence in the future cannot be predicted at all with the past game result.

Meanwhile, in the main game, three or more specific characters are arranged among the eleven characters (exemplified in FIG. 3) that are randomly generated in an array of lengths * width = 3 * 5, that is, with reference to FIG. 7. In detail, in the case where three designated characters, for example, 'pyramid' are arranged among the eleven characters (illustrated in FIG. 3) to satisfy the rich game winning condition, the central processing unit 120, As illustrated in FIG. 7, the display 140 is further controlled to enter a rich game (shown in FIG. 8) in which both characters in the vertical * width = 1 * 3 array are fixed and only the central character is variablely arranged. do.

Such a rich game does not need to be arranged on a designated line, and is configured to enter when a predetermined number (three) of a specified character (in this embodiment, pyramid) is displayed among the displayed characters.

In the subsequent rich game, if the central character arranged randomly generated is the same as both fixed characters and 'success', the central processing unit 120 controls the display 140 to enter the jackpot game.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 9, when the character in the center is changed into a hammer shape and the character is randomly generated and matches the character fixed on both sides, the character enters the jackpot game.

In this embodiment, the hammer character has been described as randomly generating the central character, but if the shape of the meaning that the central character is randomly generated is sufficient, it is possible to have a lightning shape or any other shape.

In addition, referring to FIG. 10 as an example of a jackpot game, when a character enters a jackpot game in a state in which six characters are arranged in a circle and a random treasure box is formed at the center thereof, the treasure chest at the center is determined as a predetermined character. If it is determined that the six characters arranged in a circle and the character in the center is arranged in a straight line of the same shape character is configured to pay the specified prize money.

On the other hand, in the rich game, when the central character arranged randomly generated 'fails' different from both fixed characters, the central processing unit 120 controls the display 140 to enter the free game.

Since the pregame can be set as a bonus game that can be executed multiple times of the game a certain number of times, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the full betting is performed on all 25 lines, but the number of lines may be selected according to the number of bets, such as specifying one line for one bet.

11 is a flowchart of a control method of a reel game machine applied to an embodiment according to the present invention. Hereinafter, a reel game machine configured as described above with respect to a control method of a reel game machine applied to an embodiment according to the present invention. In parallel with the operation of, will be described in detail.

First, the player inputs a plurality of buttons 131 provided in the input unit 130 to determine the number of lines and the bet amount and to start the game.

Accordingly, the central processing unit 120 controls the display 140 such that the reels having 11 characters (illustrated in FIG. 3) are arranged to generate random numbers in an array of vertical * horizontal = 3 * 5, thereby maintaining the main game. (MainGame) is executed (S601).

In the executed main game, a specific character, for example, 'pyramid' is arranged in three or more of the arrangement of vertical * horizontal = 3 * 5 (illustrated in FIG. 7) to satisfy the rich game winning condition. In the case ("A" in S602), the central processing unit 120 is a rich game (RichGame) in which both characters of the vertical * width = 1 * 3 array are fixed and only the central character is variablely arranged as illustrated in FIG. 8. In step S603, the display 140 is controlled.

In the subsequent rich game, if the character in the center placed random number generation is the same as both fixed characters ("A" in S604), the central processing unit 120 enters the jackpot game (S605) To control the display 140.

On the other hand, in the rich game, if the central character arranged random number generation is different from both fixed characters ("B" in S604), the central processing unit 120 enters the free game (S606) to Control display 140.

On the other hand, in the main game executed in step 601 corresponding to the line win (exemplified in Fig. 5) in which three or more identical characters are arranged in at least one or more lines among the 25 lines (exemplified in Fig. 4). When the conditions for winning a double-up game are satisfied ("B" in S602), the central processing unit 120 uses a wheel-up device as illustrated in FIG. 6. Control the display 140 to enter the game.

The subsequent double-up game, as illustrated in FIG. 6, begins by selecting one wheel among a plurality of wheels providing different dividends, and the dividends provided are 1.2 times, 1.5 times, 3 times, Six times, you can choose either divider wheel.

In addition, the double-up game is set such that the wheel selected by the player is rotated and randomly generated at 'W (win)' or 'L (lose') to receive or lose the winning amount.

At this time, since the ratio of win and lose can be specified in a certain ratio on the original, the probability can be adjusted by the decimal point.

That is, in preparation for the area ratio, three areas among eight divided areas such as three-eighths (3/8) can be used as a win area.

The advantage of such an assignment is that in the case of a conventional card game, it is possible to predict a card to be developed later with the past result, but the present invention is advantageous because the probability of occurrence in the future cannot be predicted at all with the past game result.

In addition, when the arrangement of the reels with 11 characters in the main game executed in step 601 does not satisfy both the rich game winning conditions or double-up game winning conditions ("C ≠ A, B" of S602), the central processing The device 120 controls the display 140 to end the game.

Although the present invention has been described in detail only with respect to the described embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations are possible within the technical scope of the present invention, and such modifications and modifications are within the scope of the appended claims.
