Lotis

Lotis (ローティス) is KITA DENSHI’s smart-pachislot AT machine built around lamp-confirmed bonuses, cherry-driven normal-play chances and internal modes. Its large SBB can award about 507 coins, while the normal-game ceiling guarantees a bonus rather than a separate AT-interval reward.

Setting probabilities and payout rate
Setting probabilities and payout rate
Administrator research. Setting 3 is not used on this machine. SBB is extremely rare; the table focuses on the ordinary BB/RB comparison and total rate.
| Setting | BB | RB | Combined | Payout rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1/677.7 | 1/514.1 | 1/287.2 | 98.0% |
| 2 | 1/666.4 | 1/501.3 | 1/281.2 | 99.6% |
| 4 | 1/648.7 | 1/481.7 | 1/271.8 | 102.7% |
| 5 | 1/634.9 | 1/467.3 | 1/264.8 | 105.0% |
| 6 | 1/627.1 | 1/457.4 | 1/260.3 | 108.1% |
A Setting 1 reference for SBB is approximately 1/16384. Missing higher-setting SBB figures are not interpolated.
Small-role probabilities
Small-role probabilities
The small-role table describes appearance frequency. The chance to clear a feature after drawing a role is a separate conditional probability.
Administrator research. Additional play and result interpretation:
| Setting | Real cherry: diagonal | Real cherry: parallel |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Approx. 1/425.6 | Approx. 1/993.0 |
| 2 | Approx. 1/425.6 | Approx. 1/885.6 |
| 4 | Approx. 1/425.6 | Approx. 1/799.2 |
| 5 | Approx. 1/425.6 | Approx. 1/728.2 |
| 6 | Approx. 1/425.6 | Approx. 1/668.7 |
Watermelon is approximately 1/100.1 and middle cherry approximately 1/16384.0. Real cherry flags differ from the pseudo-cherry premonition presentation. In particular, the higher pseudo-cherry frequency near a bonus is state behavior, not the parallel real-cherry setting table.
The published setting list omits Setting 3. Use the actual setting labels above and leave uncertain cherry identification unclassified rather than assigning every three-symbol appearance to a real flag.
Game flow
Game flow
Normal play aims for a lamp-confirmed bonus. Cherry activity is an important clue: the manufacturer describes normal cherry appearance at about 1/64, increasing to around 1/6 in fake precursor sequences and around 1/4 during a genuine precursor.
Internal modes control the effective game-count behavior and the path toward a bonus. Normal A/Normal B, Chance, Heaven-preparation and Heaven-related states have different expectations, while a pullback-style state can preserve value after certain mode transitions.
Administrator research. Additional play and result interpretation:
A bonus starts the next mode decision
- Identify the notified bonus: Super BIG, BIG or REG. Their different gains are individual bonus outcomes, not three AT ranks.
- Finish the bonus following navigation. Then track the next-bonus mode and the game count from this bonus end.
- Heaven (天国) and its stronger variants use a 32G chain window. A return mode is a separate normal-play route after a chain ends.
- During bonus games without navigation, the technical-play target selects the navigation-lamp hint family. Stop middle then right; when replay forms the specified rising diagonal, aim the left reel upper position at red 7 or purple 7 within the two-symbol timing window. This is separate from aligning a bonus.
Ceiling, reset and quit timing
Ceiling, reset and quit timing
Administrator research. The maximum normal-game ceiling is 900G without a bonus and the reward is a bonus. No separate longer AT-interval ceiling is published for this machine.
A setting change reselects the internal mode, so the effective next-bonus range may be shorter than the maximum. Quit timing should therefore consider the current mode clues and post-bonus state rather than assuming every session is headed toward 900G.
Administrator research. Additional play and result interpretation:
The 32G follow-up depends on the next-bonus chain mode; it is different from the deepest normal-game bonus protection. A colour that establishes a stronger next mode can matter beyond the completed bonus. Use the target-dependent interpretation above rather than stopping solely because the latest bonus was REG.
Bonus details
Bonus details
| Bonus | Approximate gain |
|---|---|
| SPECIAL BIG BONUS | 507 coins |
| BIG BONUS | 206 coins |
| REGULAR BONUS | 66 coins |
The manufacturer lists an approximate 5.0 coins/G net increase during bonus play. The machine also uses bonus-time technical-play and presentation elements that can provide mode or setting clues.
Administrator research. Additional play and result interpretation:
Bonus-time notifications announce a 1G-chain stock
The approximate gains are 507 coins for Super BIG, 206 for BIG and 66 for REG. During a bonus, the first lamp notification indicates a BIG 1G-chain stock; a second notification indicates a Super BIG 1G-chain stock. These notifications describe the following 1G-chain bonus, not the class of the bonus currently being played.
A higher-coin Super BIG does not change the model into a games-managed AT. The normal-game bonus ceiling remains bonus protection; there is no published deeper fixed AT-interval award to add to its cash estimate.
Setting differences and identification
Setting differences and identification
BB, RB and combined bonus probabilities all improve toward higher settings. The spread is gradual, so a short session can deviate considerably from the theoretical rate. Use the combined result together with mode behavior and any setting-hint presentation rather than relying on one number alone.
Administrator research. Bonus-related presentations include setting-hint elements. Treat confirmed or strongly suggestive presentation patterns as higher-quality evidence than ordinary variance in a small sample.
Modes and states
Modes and states
Administrator research. The checked mode structure includes morning/reset-related, Chance, Normal A, Normal B, Heaven-preparation and Heaven-related modes. A setting change can select a reset-specific mode and therefore alter the practical path to the next bonus even though the maximum published game-count ceiling remains 900G.
Mode clues matter more than a single raw game count when judging whether to continue after a bonus or a reset.
Administrator research. Additional play and result interpretation:
| Mode | Progression to distinguish |
|---|---|
| Morning (モーニング) | Reset route; moves to Chance or Normal B or higher |
| Chance (チャンス) | Next mode Normal B or higher |
| Normal B (通常B) | Favors the Heaven Preparation route |
| Heaven Preparation (天国準備) | Next mode Heaven or higher |
| Heaven (天国) | 32G chain; approximately 75% continuation |
| Paradise (極楽) | 32G chain; approximately 83% continuation |
| Super Paradise (超極楽) | 32G chain; approximately 92% continuation |
| Return A / B (引き戻しA・B) | After chain end; returns toward the previous loop mode or higher |
The published setting-change allocation is Normal A 49%, Normal B 13%, Chance 13% and Morning 25%. Morning is a reset-specific mode route, not a visible lamp that guarantees a first-game bonus. These allocations apply to an actual setting change; a hall opening or ordinary power cycle alone does not establish that it occurred.
Setting hints and confirmed-setting elements
Setting hints and confirmed-setting elements
Administrator research. Additional play and result interpretation:
The same colour has two different meanings
During the no-navigation bonus technical play described above, the left-reel upper red-7 target reads Super BIG stock, while the upper purple-7 target reads the mode floor. Neither hint family is a confirmed machine setting. A colour note without the selected reel target is incomplete.
| Lamp colour | Red-7 target: Super BIG stock | Purple-7 target: mode |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | At least 1 | Normal B or higher |
| Green | At least 2 | Heaven Preparation or higher |
| Red | At least 3 | Heaven or higher |
| Purple | At least 4 | Paradise or higher |
| Rainbow | At least 5 | Super Paradise |
White is the default presentation, while blue is a weaker hint. Do not turn a default or weak hint into the stronger floor shown for yellow and above. Preserve the original target and colour before changing machines or losing the display.
How to play
How to play
No navigation: stop the left reel first. If numbered stop instructions appear, press the stop buttons in the displayed order (1, then 2, then 3). A symbol-target instruction tells you which symbol to aim for; follow it together with any displayed stop order.
During unassisted normal play, use left-first play and aim around one of the marked bonus/BAR areas on the left reel. The remaining reels can usually be stopped according to the resulting pattern; the right-reel BAR can substitute for watermelon in the standard procedure.
During a bonus, follow all displayed instructions. When the machine offers its technical-play opportunity, use the indicated stop procedure rather than improvising a different reel order.
