And temporarily stop. In addition, “lower” of each display procedure data of “temporary stop symbol selection procedure” indicates “temporary stop” in the order of increasing numerical value of “number” in the temporary symbol data table 107 (see FIG. 7). "Pause symbol" to display "Symbol"
While lowering the “temporarily stopped symbol” once stopped in a state where the symbols are aligned from the screen of the liquid crystal display 19 and at a visible speed in a downward direction,
This means that the next “temporary stop symbol” selected from the top of the screen is lowered at a visually recognizable speed with the symbols aligned, displayed at the center of the screen, and temporarily stopped.

Next, a description will be given, with reference to FIG. 9, of a starting port winning process executed by the CPU 75 of the main board 71 when a pachinko ball wins each of the starting ports 31 and 38 of the control system thus configured. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a start-up winning process executed by the CPU 75 of the main board 71 when a pachinko ball wins at each of the start-up openings 31 and 38 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Pachinko machine 1
CPU 75 at predetermined time intervals (for example, about 30 msec
Each starting port 31, 3 based on the interrupt signal input
When the pachinko ball wins at No. 8, the start opening winning process is executed.

As shown in FIG. 9, first, in step (hereinafter referred to as S) 1, the CPU 75
Winning of 1 and 38 pachinko balls, ie each starting port switch 3
A determination process is performed to determine whether or not pachinko ball detection signals from 1A and 38A have been input through the input circuit 78. If the pachinko ball detection signals from the starting port switches 31A and 38A have not been input via the input circuit 78 (S1: NO), the process ends.

On the other hand, when the pachinko ball detection signal from each of the starting port switches 31A and 38A is input through the input circuit 78 (S1: YES), in S2,
Execute "count value acquisition processing". This “count value acquisition process” is executed by the CPU 75
The numerical value stored in the jackpot counter 77A when the pachinko ball detection signal is input from A, 38A is substituted into the algebra V as the "big hit count value" at that time and stored in the parameter storage area 77I. Therefore, any numerical value from “0” to “198” is assigned to the algebra V and stored in the parameter storage area 77I. At the same time, the CPU 75 sets the starting port switches 31A, 38A
Variable lottery counter 7 when a winning signal is input from
The numerical value stored in 7E is substituted into the algebra X as the “probable variable lottery count value” at that time, and the parameter storage area 7
7I. Therefore, this algebra X has "0" ~
Any numerical value of “9” is assigned and stored in the parameter storage area 77I. At the same time, the CPU 75
Is obtained by substituting the numerical value stored in the jackpot symbol selection counter 77F when a winning signal is input from each of the starter switches 31A and 38A into the algebra Y as the "big hit symbol selection count value" at that time. 7
7I. Therefore, this algebra Y has "0" to "2".
9 is substituted and stored in the parameter storage area 77I. At the same time, the CPU 75
The numerical value stored in the losing symbol selection counter 77G when a winning signal is input from each of the starting port switches 31A and 38A is substituted into the algebra Z as the "losing symbol selection count value" at that time and is stored in the parameter storage area 77I. Remember. Therefore, any numerical value from “0” to “210” is assigned to the algebra Z and the parameter storage area 77
I. Further, at the same time, the CPU 75 sets the numerical value stored in the re-variation pattern selection counter 77H when a winning signal is input from each of the start-up opening switches 31A and 38A to the "re-variation pattern selection count value" at that time.
And stored in the parameter storage area 77I. Therefore, any numerical value from “0” to “3” is substituted into the algebra W and the parameter storage area 77I
Is stored. It should be noted that the number of pachinko balls won in each of the starting ports 31 and 38 during the fluctuation of the fluctuation symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 19 is retained in the first reservation counter 77C up to a maximum of four, and the number of pachinko balls at the time of each prize is determined. The above-described count values are stored in the parameter storage area 77E, and the processing in and after S3 described later is sequentially performed.

Next, in S3, the CPU 75 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the "time saving / probable change mode" is set.
The process of determining whether or not to be in the “time saving / probable change mode”
The CPU 75 stores a time-saving / probable variable algebra L (described below) stored in the parameter storage area 77I when power is turned on.
(“0” is substituted for the probable algebra L).
And when this time saving / probable variable algebra L is “0”,
It is determined that the mode is not the “time saving / probable change mode” and the ROM 7
The “normal jackpot value” (“7” in the case of the first embodiment) stored in No. 6 is read out, and the “normal jackpot value” is stored in the RAM 77 as the “big jackpot value”. When the time-saving / probable variable algebra L read from the parameter storage area 77I is “1”, “time-saving
It is determined that the mode is the "probable variation mode", the "probable variation jackpot value"("0-9" in the first embodiment) stored in the ROM 76 in advance, and the "probable variation jackpot value" is read. It is stored in the RAM 77 as a "big hit value".

Next, in S4, the CPU 21 executes a judgment process for judging whether or not it is a "big hit". The process of determining whether or not this is a “big hit” is performed by first determining the algebra V as the “big hit count value” from the parameter storage area 77I.
Is read. Then, it is determined whether or not the algebra V matches the “big hit value” stored in the RAM 77. If they match, "1" is substituted for the jackpot algebra R ("0" is substituted for the jackpot algebra R when the power is turned on) and stored in the parameter storage area 77I. , "0" is substituted for the jackpot algebra R and stored in the parameter storage area 77I. Therefore, in the case of a normal game state other than the “time saving / probable change mode”, the occurrence probability of “big hit” is 1/199.
In addition, in the case of the game time of "time saving / probable change mode",
The probability of occurrence of “big hit” is 10/199. As a result, in the case of the “time saving / probable change mode”, the probability of the “big hit” is about ten times that in the normal gaming state. In the case of a normal game state other than the “time saving / probable changing mode”, the changing time of the changing symbol is approximately 15 seconds to 20 seconds.
Seconds, in the case of the gaming state of the "time saving / probable variation mode", the variation time of the variation symbol is about 5 to 7 seconds, and the variation symbol stops earlier than the normal gaming state.

Then, again, the parameter storage area 77I
Jackpot algebra R is read from
Is determined as “0” or “1”. That is, it is determined whether a "big hit" has occurred. If the jackpot algebra R is "1", it is determined that a "hit" has occurred (S4: YES), and in S5, the CPU 75
The algebra Y as the "big hit symbol selection count value" is read from the parameter storage area 77I, and the "big hit symbol" corresponding to the algebra Y is stored in the big hit symbol storage area 76A.
Jackpot symbol data table 105 stored in the
(See FIG. 5). Further, the CPU 75 reads the algebra W as the “re-variation pattern selection count value” from the parameter storage area 77I, and stores the “re-variation pattern” corresponding to the algebra W in the re-variation pattern storage area 76I.
B is selected from the re-variation pattern table 106 (see FIG. 6) stored in B.

Here, the selection of the "big hit symbol" is performed by setting the algebra Y as the "big hit symbol selection count value" as the "count value" of the big hit symbol data table 105,
The symbol data of the "big hit symbol" corresponding to the algebra Y as the "count value" is read. Further, the selection of the “re-variation pattern” is performed by setting the algebra W as the “re-variation pattern selection count value” as the “count value” of the re-variation pattern table 106, and Read the pattern data of "variation pattern". Then, the read symbol data and pattern data are instructed to the display CPU 96 as a “symbol instruction command”.
It is stored in the parameter storage area 77I.

Therefore, when the algebra Y read from the parameter storage area 77I is "0" to "2", "11"
The symbol data of "1" is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as symbol data of "big hit symbol". When the algebra Y read from the parameter storage area 77I is "3" to "4", the symbol data of "222" is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as the symbol data of "big hit symbol". When the algebra Y read from the parameter storage area 77I is “5” to “7”, the symbol data of “333” is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as symbol data of “big hit symbol”. When the algebra Y read from the parameter storage area 77I is “8” to “9”, the symbol data of “444” is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as the symbol data of “big hit symbol”. The algebra Y read from the parameter storage area 77I is "10" to "1".
In the case of "2", the symbol data of "555" is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as symbol data of "big hit symbol".

The symbol data of “666” is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as symbol data of “big hit symbol”. The algebra Y read from the parameter storage area 77I
Is "15" to "17", the symbol data of "777" is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as symbol data of "big hit symbol". The algebra Y read from the parameter storage area 77I is "18" to "1".
In the case of "9", the symbol data of "888" is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as the symbol data of "big hit symbol".

In the case of "7", the design data of "woman and woman" is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as the design data of "big hit design".
Is stored. When the algebra Y read from the parameter storage area 77I is “28” to “29”,
The symbol data of "male male male" is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as the symbol data of "big hit symbol".

When the algebra W read from the parameter storage area 77I is “0”, “pattern A” is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as pattern data instructing the display CPU 96. When the algebra W read out from the parameter storage area 77I is “1”, “pattern B” is used as the pattern data instructing the display CPU 96 as the parameter data in the parameter storage area 77I.

It is stored in the parameter storage area 77I. Further, the algebra W read from the parameter storage area 77I is "3".
In the case of, the “pattern D” is stored in the parameter storage area 77 as pattern data instructing the display CPU 96.
I.

On the other hand, in S4, the jackpot algebra R is read out again from the parameter storage area 77I, and if this jackpot algebra R is "0", it is determined that "losing" (S4: NO), and in S6 , The CPU 75 reads the algebra Z as the “losing symbol selection count value” from the parameter storage area 77I, reads the symbol data of the symbol corresponding to the algebra Z from the ROM 76,
It is stored in the parameter storage area 77I as symbol data of the "symbol instruction command" instructing the display CPU 96.

Next, in S7, the CPU 75 again stores the "design instruction command" from the parameter storage area 77I.
Is read out, and the “design instruction command” is output via the output circuit 79.
Is output to the display CPU 96 of the display control circuit unit 95 as a symbol change start command. Therefore, when a “big hit” occurs, the symbol data of the “big hit symbol” and the pattern data of the “re-variation pattern” are transmitted from the CPU 75 via the output circuit 79 as a symbol variation start command to the display CPU.
96. (For example, when “222” is selected as the “big hit symbol” displayed on the liquid crystal display 19 at that time and “pattern A” is selected as the “re-variation pattern”, the CPU 75 sets the output circuit 79 to After outputting a 2-byte hexadecimal number “0202” as a design signal to the display control circuit unit 95 via the display control circuit 95, a 1-byte hexadecimal number “01” is output as a re-variation pattern signal.) In the case of “losing” , The symbol data of “losing symbol” is outputted from the CPU 75 to the display CPU 96 via the output circuit 79 as a symbol variation start command. (For example, “12
When "3" is selected as the "losing symbol" displayed on the liquid crystal display 19 at that time, the CPU 75 sends the 2-byte hexadecimal "0201" symbol to the display control circuit unit 95 via the output circuit 79. Output as a signal. In addition, a 1-byte hexadecimal number “0” representing a variation pattern of “losing pattern”
A pattern signal such as "5" is also sent at the same time. )

NO). Each processing time is stored in the ROM 76 in advance.

If the processing time of the fluctuation display processing of the "re-variation pattern" or the fluctuation display processing of the "losing pattern" has elapsed (S8: YES), in S9, the CP
U75 outputs to the display control circuit unit 95 a determination stop signal that instructs the display CPU 96 to stop the fluctuation, that is, instructs the display CPU 96 to perform the determination stop. (For example, CPU7
5 outputs a 2-byte hexadecimal number “0100” to the display control circuit unit 95 via the output circuit 79 as a determination signal. )

Next, in S10, the CPU 75 executes a sub-process (see FIG. 10) of "big hit game process" described later.

Subsequently, in S11, the CPU 75
A sub-process (see FIG. 11) of “probability change obtaining process” described later is executed, and the process ends.

Is "0", it is determined that "big hit" has not occurred (S15: NO), the sub-process is ended, and the process returns to "start-up opening winning process".

On the other hand, if the jackpot algebra R read from the parameter storage area 77I is "1", it is determined that a jackpot has occurred (S15: YES). Then, the first opening / closing door 39 that closes the special winning opening 40 is opened.

Subsequently, in S17, it is determined whether or not the number of winning balls which have won the special winning opening 40 reaches ten, ie, whether or not the number of winnings detected by the special winning opening count switch 40A has reached ten. Is determined. And big winning opening 40
If the number of winning balls that have won the game has not reached 10 (S
17: NO), in S18, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (25 seconds in the case of the first embodiment) has elapsed since the opening of the special winning opening 40. And big winning opening 40
If the predetermined time has not elapsed since the release of
8: NO), and executes the processing of S16 and thereafter again.

On the other hand, the winning prize ball winning the special winning opening 40 is 1
If the number reaches zero (S17: YES), or if a predetermined time has elapsed after opening the special winning opening 40 (S1).
8: YES), in S19, the CPU 75 closes the first winning opening 40 by closing the first opening / closing door 39 via the first solenoid 54.

Subsequently, in S20, the CPU 75
Whether or not a win has occurred in the V zone provided in the special winning opening 40 while the special winning opening 40 is open, that is, whether or not a detection signal of a winning ball is input from the V switch 40B while the special winning opening 40 is open. A determination process is performed to determine If a winning detection signal is input from the V switch 40B while the special winning opening 40 is open (S20: YES), S2 is performed.
In the first embodiment, the number of times the special winning opening 40 is continuously opened is the predetermined maximum number of times (in the case of the first embodiment, “16”
Times ". ) Is performed to determine whether or not the value has reached. If the number of times that the special winning opening 40 has been opened does not reach the predetermined maximum continuous number (S21: NO), a predetermined time (in the first embodiment, about 2 seconds) after closing the special winning opening 40 After the elapse, the processing after S16 is executed again.

If no winning detection signal is input from the V switch 40B while the special winning opening 40 is open (S2).
0: NO) or when the number of times that the special winning opening 40 has been opened reaches a predetermined maximum continuous number (S21:
YES), the sub-process is terminated, and the “start-up opening winning process” is performed.
Return to

Next, the sub-process (S1)
1) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 shows the first
It is a sub-flowchart showing a sub-process of “probability change obtaining process” of the pachinko machine 1 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, first, in S25, the CPU 75 executes a determination process of determining whether a “big hit” has occurred. In this determination process, the jackpot algebra R is read from the parameter storage area 77I, and it is determined whether the jackpot algebra R is “0” or “1”. That is, it is determined whether a "big hit" has occurred. When the jackpot algebra R is “0”, it is determined that “jackpot” has not occurred (S
25: NO), the sub-process ends, and the process returns to the “start-up opening winning process”.

On the other hand, when the jackpot algebra R read from the parameter storage area 77I is "1", it is determined that a jackpot has occurred (S25: YES), and in S26, whether or not the current gaming state is the normal gaming state A process is performed to determine whether That is, a time-saving / probable variable algebra L is read from the parameter storage area 77I, and a process of determining whether the time-saving / probable variable algebra L is “0” or “1” is executed.

If the time saving / probable algebra L read out from the parameter storage area 77I in S26 is “1”, the CPU 75 sets the current gaming state to the “normal gaming state”.
It is determined that it is not (S26: NO), the sub-process ends, and the process returns to the "start-up opening winning process".

On the other hand, when the time saving / probable variable algebra L read out from the parameter storage area 77I in S26 is “0”, the current gaming state is “normal gaming state”.
Is determined (S26: YES), and in S27,
A determination process is performed to determine whether the “time saving / probable change mode” has been acquired. In the process of determining whether or not the “time saving / probable change mode” has been acquired, first, the CPU 75 reads the “big hit symbol selection count value” from the parameter storage area 77I.
Algebra Y is read out. Then, the algebra Y is set as the “count value” in the jackpot symbol data table 105 (see FIG. 5) stored in the jackpot symbol storage area 76A, and the “probable count value” corresponding to the algebra Y as the “count value” Read the numerical data of. Next, the CPU 7
5 reads an algebra X as a “probable variation count value” from the parameter storage area 77I, and reads any of the read numerical data of the “probability variation count value” and the algebra X
It is determined whether or not the numeric data matches. And C
When any of the read numerical data of the “probable variable count value” matches the numerical data of the algebra X, the PU 75 determines that the “time saving / probable variable mode” has been acquired,
When the numerical data of the algebra X does not match any of the read numerical data of the “probable count value”,
It is determined that the "time saving / probable change mode" could not be obtained.

Therefore, the "big hit symbol selection count value" read from the parameter storage area 77I is "0" to "0".
In the case of "2", the jackpot symbol data table 105
, Values of “0 to 3” are read as “probable change count values” (see FIG. 5). Subsequently, the parameter storage area 7
The algebra X as the “probable variable lottery count value” is read from 7I, and when this algebra X matches any of “0 to 3”, it is determined that the “time saving / probable variable mode” has been acquired, and the algebra X is set to “ 0-3 "does not match,
It is determined that the "time saving / probable change mode" could not be obtained.
Therefore, in this case, the probability (first occurrence probability) that the “time saving / probable change mode” can be obtained is 4/10. Similarly, the “big hit symbol selection count value” read from the parameter storage area 77I is “3” to “4”, “8” to
In the case of “14” and “18” to “29”, when the algebra X as the “probable variable lottery count value” read from the parameter storage area 77I matches any one of “0 to 3”, “ Judgment mode has been acquired,
When the algebra X does not match any of "0-3",
It is determined that the "time saving / probable change mode" could not be obtained.
Therefore, in each case, the probability (first occurrence probability) that the “time saving / probable change mode” can be obtained is 4/10. The “big hit symbol selection count value” read from the parameter storage area 77I is “5” to “7” and “1”.
In the case of “5” to “17”, the parameter storage area 77
When the algebra X as the “probable variable lottery count value” read from I matches any one of “1 to 7”, “
It is determined that the "probable change mode" has been acquired, and the algebra X is "1 to 7"
If it does not match any of the above, "Time saving / variable mode"
Is determined not to have been obtained. Therefore, in each case, the probability (second occurrence probability) that the “time saving / probable change mode” can be obtained is 8/10.

Thus, the jackpot symbols finally stopped and displayed in the re-variation display are "111", "222",
"444", "555", "666", "888",
"999", "frog", "female", "female"
In the case of, the probability of the “time saving / probable change mode” occurring is 4
/ 10. Further, when the jackpot symbols finally stopped and displayed in the re-variation display are “333” and “777”, the probability of occurrence of the “time saving / probable change mode” is 8/10.
It is.

If the "time saving / probable change mode" is not obtained in S27 (S27: NO), the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the "start-up opening winning process".

On the other hand, when the “time saving / probable change mode” is acquired in S27 (S27: YES), in S28,
The CPU 75 performs “setting of the time saving / probable change mode”. That is, the time saving / probable variable algebra L is stored in the parameter storage area 77I.
Is read, and “1” is substituted for the time saving / probable variable algebra L, and is stored again in the parameter storage area 77I. Then, the sub-process ends, and the process returns to the “start-up opening winning process”.

Next, a control process for displaying a "big hit symbol" and the like executed by the display CPU 96 of the control circuit unit 95 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a control process corresponding to a symbol change start command signal executed by the display CPU 96 of the display control circuit unit 95 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. The display CPU 96 of the display control circuit unit 95
A control process corresponding to a symbol variation start command signal from the main board 71 and the like is executed based on an interrupt signal input every predetermined time (for example, approximately every 30 msec).

As shown in FIG. 12, first, in S31, the display CPU 96 executes a determination process for determining whether or not a symbol change start command has been input from the main board 71. (For example, it is determined whether a 2-byte hexadecimal number “0202” and a 1-byte hexadecimal number “01” have been input.) Then, the display CPU 96 receives a symbol change start command from the main board 71. If not (S3
1: NO), and terminate the process.

On the other hand, when the symbol change start command is input from the main board 71 (S3)
1: YES), in S32, a symbol variation start command signal is stored in the RAM 98, and the symbol variation start command is determined to be a symbol variation start command of a "big hit symbol" or a symbol variation start command of a "losing symbol". Execute. And
If the symbol variation start command signal is the symbol variation start command of "big hit symbol" (S32: YES), in S33, the symbol variation start command signal and the re-variation pattern signal with the symbol signal of "big hit symbol" Again, the temporary stop symbol which is read from the RAM 98 and displayed first is selected.

The selection of the temporary stop symbol to be displayed first is performed by first storing the “big hit symbol” specified by the CPU 75 of the main board 71 in the temporary stop symbol storage area 9 of the ROM 97.
As a “temporary stop symbol” in the temporary stop symbol data table 107 stored in 7A, a “number” corresponding to the “temporary stop symbol” is stored in the RAM 98. Subsequently, the re-variation pattern signal is read out again from the RAM 98, and the re-variation pattern corresponding to the re-variation pattern signal is set as a “pattern” in the re-variation symbol selection data table 108 stored in the re-variation data storage area 97B of the ROM 97. . (For example, when the symbol signal of the “big hit symbol” from the CPU 75 of the main board 71 is a 2-byte hexadecimal number “0202”, the “big hit symbol” is set to “222” and the “222”
Is set as a “temporary stop symbol” in the temporary stop symbol data table 107, and “1” is stored in the RAM 98 as a “number” corresponding to the “222”. When the re-variation pattern signal is a one-byte hexadecimal number “01”, “pattern A” is set as the re-variation pattern. ) And, according to the "temporary stop symbol selection procedure" corresponding to the "pattern" in the re-variable symbol selection data table 108, the "temporary stop symbol" corresponding to the "big hit symbol" is displayed last as the temporary stop symbol. The temporarily stopped symbols to be displayed are selected and stored in the RAM 98.

Therefore, when the "big hit symbol" is instructed by the CPU 75 of the main board 71, first, the "number" of the "temporary stop symbol" corresponding to the "big hit symbol" is determined from the temporarily stopped symbol data table 107. I do. Subsequently, when the variation pattern instructed by the CPU 75 of the main board 71 is “pattern A”, “down → down → down → up → up” of the “temporary stop symbol selection procedure” corresponding to this “pattern A” Is selected. Then, first, a "temporary stop symbol" in the next order of the "number" is selected from "below". next,
The "temporary stop symbol" next to the number of the "temporary symbol" is selected from "bottom". Next, a “temporary stop symbol” in the order following the “temporary symbol” is selected from “bottom”. Next, the "temporary stop symbol" is selected from the "top" in the order following the number of the "temporary symbol". Finally,
From the “top”, select the “temporary stop symbol” in the order after the number of the “temporary symbol”, and select the “temporary symbol”
"Temporary stop symbol" to temporarily stop the first time at the time of fluctuation
And For example, the CPU 75 of the main board 71 instructs “222” as the “big hit symbol” and, in the case of “pattern A”, “222” which is the “big hit symbol”
Is selected as the "temporary stop symbol" corresponding to. And "22" as this "temporary stop symbol"
2 ”,“ 222 ”→“ 333 ”→“ 444 ”→
“555” → “444” → “333” is selected, and “333” is selected and stored in the RAM 98 as a “temporary stop symbol” to be temporarily stopped first at the time of re-change.

When the variation pattern instructed by the CPU 75 of the main board 71 is “pattern B”, “down → up → up → down” of the “temporary stop symbol selection procedure” corresponding to this “pattern B” → "Up" is selected. And first,
From "below", the "temporarily stopped symbol" corresponding to the "big hit symbol" of the temporarily stopped symbol data table 107 and the "temporarily stopped symbol" next to the "number" of the "temporarily stopped symbol" are selected. Next, the "temporary stop symbol" is selected from the "top" in the order following the number of the "temporary symbol". Next, the "temporary stop symbol" is selected from the "top" in the order following the number of the "temporary symbol". Next, a “temporary stop symbol” in the order following the “temporary symbol” is selected from “bottom”. Finally,
From the “top”, select the “temporary stop symbol” in the order after the number of the “temporary symbol”, and select the “temporary symbol”
"Temporary stop symbol" to temporarily stop the first time at the time of fluctuation
And For example, the CPU 75 of the main board 71 instructs “222” as the “big hit symbol” and, in the case of “pattern B”, “222” which is the “big hit symbol”
Is selected as the "temporary stop symbol" corresponding to. And "22" as this "temporary stop symbol"
2 ”,“ 222 ”→“ 333 ”→“ 222 ”→
It becomes "111" → "222" → "111".
“111” is selected and stored in the RAM 98.

When the variation pattern specified by the CPU 75 of the main board 71 is “pattern C”, “up → up → down → up” of the “temporary stop symbol selection procedure” corresponding to this “pattern C” → Down → Up is selected. Then, first, the "temporary stop symbol" in the order after the "number" of the "temporary stop symbol" corresponding to the "big hit symbol" in the temporary symbol data table 107 is selected from "top".
Next, the "temporary stop symbol" is selected from the "top" in the order following the number of the "temporary symbol". Next, a “temporary stop symbol” in the order following the “temporary symbol” is selected from “bottom”. Next, from the "up", the "temporary stop symbol"
Select the "temporary stop symbol" in the order behind the number. Next, a “temporary stop symbol” in the order following the “temporary symbol” is selected from “bottom”. Finally, select the "temporary stop symbol" in the order after the number of the "temporary stop symbol" from "top", and temporarily stop the "temporary symbol" at the first time when re-changing. Stop symbol ".
For example, from the CPU 75 of the main board 71, a “big hit symbol”
In the case of "Pattern C", "222" is selected as the "temporary stop symbol" corresponding to the "big hit symbol""222". And, from "222" as this "temporary stop symbol",
Sequentially "222" → "111" → "male male male" → "111"
→ "Men" → "111" → "Men"
“Male man” is selected and stored in the RAM 98. still,
The “temporary stop symbol” in the order behind the “111” is “male male male”. In addition, the “temporary stop symbol” in the next order of “male male male” is “111”.

Further, when the variation pattern instructed by the CPU 75 of the main board 71 is “pattern D”, “low → up → up → low” of the “temporary stop symbol selection procedure” corresponding to this “pattern D” → Down → Down is selected. Then, first, the “temporarily stopped symbol” corresponding to the “big hit symbol” in the temporarily stopped symbol data table 107 is selected from the “lower” next to the “number” of the “temporarily stopped symbol”. next,
From the “top”, the “temporary stop symbol” is selected in the order following the number of the “temporary symbol”. Next, the "temporary stop symbol" is selected from the "top" in the order following the number of the "temporary symbol". Next, a “temporary stop symbol” in the order following the “temporary symbol” is selected from “bottom”.
Next, a “temporary stop symbol” in the order following the “temporary symbol” is selected from “bottom”. Finally, from the bottom, the “temporary stop symbol” in the order of the number of the “temporary symbol”
Is selected as a "temporary stop symbol" which is temporarily stopped for the first time at the time of re-change. For example, the CPU 75 of the main board 71 sets “2
When "22" is instructed and "pattern D", "222" is selected as the "temporary stop symbol" corresponding to "222" which is the "big hit symbol". Then, from “222” as the “temporary stop symbol”, “22”
2 "→" 333 "→" 222 "→" 111 "→" 22 "
2 ”→“ 333 ”→“ 444 ”, and as a“ temporary stop symbol ”to temporarily stop first at the time of re-change,“ 44 ”
"4" is selected and stored in the RAM 98.

Next, in S34, the display CPU 96
Starts the fluctuation of the fluctuation symbol of the liquid crystal display 19.

Subsequently, in S35, the display CPU 9
6 reads from the RAM 98 a "temporary stop symbol" which is temporarily stopped for the first time at the time of fluctuation, and this "temporary stop symbol" is read out.
Are displayed once in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 19 in the order of a left symbol, a right symbol, and then a middle symbol, and then temporarily stopped. At the time of this temporary stop, the "big hit symbol" is displayed once and stopped once, so that the player can recognize that the "big hit" has been acquired. Further, in the case of the first embodiment, the display of the temporary stop is displayed by swinging up and down at the center of the screen in a state where the once displayed "big hit symbol" is aligned in three rows horizontally. Is not determined. Then, the display CPU 96
Again, the temporary stop symbol data table 1 corresponding to the “temporary stop symbol” temporarily stopped from the RAM 98
07 is read out. Next, the instructed re-fluctuation pattern signal is read from the RAM 98, and the re-fluctuation pattern signal is used as a “pattern” in the re-fluctuation symbol selection data table 108 stored in the re-fluctuation data storage area 97B of the ROM 97. Then, re-variation display is performed on the liquid crystal display 19 in accordance with the “re-variation display procedure” corresponding to the “pattern”.

Therefore, when the variation pattern specified by the CPU 75 on the main board 71 is “pattern A”,
“Lower → Lower → Upper → Upper → Upper” of “Revariation display procedure” corresponding to this “Pattern A” is selected. Then, the display CPU 96 reads again the “number” of the “temporary stop symbol” to be temporarily stopped from the RAM 98 again, and first,
From the “bottom” screen, select the “temporarily stopped symbol” next to the “number” from the temporarily stopped symbol data table 107,
The temporarily stopped “temporary stop symbol” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 19.

Next, in S60, the CPU 75 sets R
The pattern data of the "big hit symbol" and the pattern data of the "re-variable pattern" which are instructed from the AM 77 to the display control circuit section 95 are read out, and these data are read as "the symbol design instruction".
And Then, the CPU 75 outputs the “symbol instruction command” via the output circuit 79 to the display CP of the display control circuit unit 95.
It outputs to U96 as a symbol change start command. (For example,
When “777” is selected as the “big hit symbol” displayed on the liquid crystal display 19 at that time and “pattern B” is selected as the “re-variation pattern”, the CPU 75 displays the information via the output circuit 79. After outputting a 2-byte hexadecimal number “0207” as a symbol signal to the control circuit section 95, a 1-byte hexadecimal number “02” is output as a re-variation pattern signal. )

On the other hand, the jackpot algebra R is read out again from the parameter storage area 77I in S54 (S4), and if this jackpot algebra R is "0", it is determined that "losing" (S54: NO), In S59, the CPU 75
Reads the algebra Z as the "losing symbol selection count value" from the parameter storage area 77I, reads the symbol data of the loss symbol corresponding to the algebra Z from the ROM 76, and instructs the display CPU 96 to issue a "symbol instruction command". It is stored in the RAM 77 as the lost symbol data.

Then, in S60, the CPU 75
Again, the “symbol design instruction”, which is the lost symbol data, is read from the RAM 77 and output to the display CPU 96 via the output circuit 79. (For example, when “123” is selected as the “losing symbol” displayed on the liquid crystal display 19 at that time, the CPU 75 sends the two-byte hexadecimal number to the display control circuit unit 95 via the output circuit 79. 0201 "
Is output as a symbol signal. A 1-byte hexadecimal number “05” or the like representing a variation pattern of “losing symbol” is also transmitted at the same time. )

Subsequently, in steps S61 to S63, after the processing in steps S8 to S10 is executed, the "starting port winning process" ends.
