If there is no input signal, the process proceeds to step S1216. In step S <b> 1212, the main CPU 31 adds “1” to the value of the start opening prize counter. The starting opening prize ball counter is for counting the number of times that a game ball has won the starting opening 6.

  (C) Next, in step S1213, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the continuous winning timer is larger than 0, that is, whether or not the continuous winning timer is set. If the continuous winning timer is greater than 0, it means that the game ball has won the start opening 6 within the predetermined continuous detection time, and the process proceeds to step S1216.

  (D) If the continuous winning timer is 0 in step S1213, the continuous winning timer is set to “1000”. Since the continuous winning timer is decremented by 1 in the timer update process activated every 2 ms, the predetermined continuous detection time becomes 2 seconds by setting the continuous winning timer to “1000”. In step S1214, the main CPU 31 sets a continuous winning timer command for outputting to the sub CPU 41 that the continuous winning timer has been set.

During this time, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), when a game ball wins at the start port 6, continuous winning is generated.

  (E) Next, in step S1216, the main CPU 31 confirms whether or not there is an input signal input by the general winning ball switches 16S to 19S. Further, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S1217 when there is an input signal, and proceeds to the process of step S1218 when there is no input signal. In step S1217, the main CPU 31 adds “1” to the value of the general winning opening prize ball counter. The general winning opening prize ball counter is for counting the number of times that a game ball has won the general winning openings 16 to 19.

  (F) Next, in step S1218, the main CPU 31 confirms the presence / absence of an input signal input from the V / count switch 28S or the count switch 29S. Further, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S1219 when there is an input signal, and proceeds to the process of step S1220 when there is no input signal. In step S1219, the main CPU 31 adds “1” to the value of the big prize winning ball counter. The grand prize winning ball counter is used to count the number of times that a game ball has won a prize winning port 8.

  (G) Next, in step S1220, the main CPU 31 confirms the presence or absence of an input signal input by the prize ball count switch 14. Further, when there is an input signal, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S1221, and when there is no input signal, the main CPU 31 ends the prize ball related switch check process. In step S1221, the main CPU 31 subtracts "1" from the value of the remaining prize ball counter. Note that the remaining number-of-scores counter is the number of winning balls as the number of remaining winning balls when it is not possible to immediately pay out the winning balls that are paid out on condition that the game balls win at each winning opening.

  (C) Next, in step S122-64, the main CPU 31 confirms whether or not the continuous winning timer set in step S1214 of FIG. If it is 0 or less, that is, if it is not the start memory when the continuous winning is generated, the process proceeds to step S122-66, and if it is larger than 0, that is, if it is the starting memory when the continuous winning is generated. Moves to the process of step S122-67.

  (D) In step S122-66, the main CPU 31 sets start memory number display command data for outputting to the sub CPU 41 that the start memory number is displayed. On the other hand, in step S122-67, the main CPU 31 sets a continuous winning flag indicating that a continuous winning has occurred in a designated address such as the main RAM. Then, in step S122-68, start memory number display command data for outputting to the sub CPU 41 that the special start memory number with continuous winning is displayed is set. The main CPU 31 sets a continuous winning command for outputting to the sub CPU 41 that a continuous winning has occurred. The start memory number display command and the consecutive winning command are output to the sub CPU 41 in the command output process in step S160 shown in FIG. Whether the start memory number display command is a start memory without continuous winning (hereinafter referred to as “normal start memory”) or a start memory with continuous winning (hereinafter referred to as “special start memory”). Can be included in the internal information. For example, the start memory number display command is composed of 2 bytes, the upper 1 byte indicates the type of command (in this case, the start memory number display command. For example, “B0”), and the lower 1 byte is the start. The number of memories will be indicated. When the start memory number (holding number) is 1, 2, or 3, the start memory number display command for normal start memory is set to “01”, “02”, “03” as the lower 1 byte. In the start memory number display command related to the start memory, the lower 1 byte may be “11”, “12”, “13”. The sub CPU 41 that has received the command having such a configuration can display the normal start memory and the special start memory on the special symbol display device 4 in different modes. For example, in FIG. 12D, the sub CPU 41 displays the normal start memory and the special start memory in different colors. For example, the normal start memory is displayed in red and the special start memory is displayed in blue.

  Next, details of the special symbol control process in step S20 of FIG. 3B will be described with reference to FIG.

To determine.

  (B) Next, in step S20-2, when the control state flag is a value (00) indicating the special symbol memory check process and the number of start memories is “1” or more, the big hit determination random number value is set. Based on this result, a special symbol stop symbol and a variable display pattern for the special symbol are determined. The main CPU 31 sets a value (01) indicating the special symbol variation time management process in the control state flag, and sets a variable display time corresponding to the determined variable display pattern in the waiting time timer. This special symbol memory check process will be described in detail later.

  (C) Next, in step S20-3, the main CPU 31 determines that the control state flag is a value (01) indicating the special symbol variation time management process, and the value of the waiting time timer in which the variable display time is set is “0”. ”, A value (02) indicating the special symbol display time management process is set in the control state flag, and a waiting time after determination (for example, 1 second) is set in the waiting time timer.

  (D) Next, in step S20-4, the main CPU 31 determines that the control state flag is a value (02) indicating the special symbol display time management process, and the value of the waiting time timer in which the waiting time after confirmation is set is “ If the result of jackpot determination performed in step S20-2 is to shift the gaming state to the jackpot state, a value (03) indicating the jackpot start interval management process is set in the control state flag. At the same time, a time (for example, 10 seconds) corresponding to the big hit start interval is set in the waiting time timer. Here, the main CPU 31 outputs a big hit start command to the sub CPU 41. Further, the main CPU 31 sets a value (08) indicating a special symbol game end process when the result of the big hit determination performed in step S20-2 does not shift the gaming state to the big hit state (in the case of losing). Set to control status flag.

  (E) Next, in step S20-5, the main CPU 31 determines that the control state flag is a value (03) indicating the big hit start interval management process and the value of the waiting time timer in which the time corresponding to the big hit interval is set. In the case of “0”, the special winning opening solenoid 8 a is controlled so as to open the special winning opening 8. Further, the main CPU 31 sets a value (04) indicating the process for reopening the big prize opening in the control state flag, and sets the upper opening time limit (for example, 30 seconds) in the big prize opening time timer.

  (F) Next, in step S20-6, when the control state flag is a value (04) indicating the process for reopening the big prize opening, the main CPU 31 sets a big prize opening time timer in which the opening upper limit time is set. It is confirmed whether any of the condition that the value of “0” is “0” or the condition that ten or more game balls are won in the big winning opening 8 is established. It should be noted that the number of winning prizes to the big winning opening 8 is counted based on input signals from the V / count switch 28S and the count switch 29S. Further, the main CPU 31 controls the big prize opening solenoid 8a so as to close the big prize opening 8 when any of the above-mentioned conditions is established. Further, the main CPU 31 sets the value (05) indicating the special winning opening residual ball monitoring process in the control state flag, and sets the special winning prize residual ball monitoring time (for example, 1 second) in the waiting time timer.

  (G) Next, in step S20-7, the main CPU 31 determines that the control state flag is a value (05) indicating the winning ball remaining ball monitoring process and the waiting time timer in which the winning ball remaining ball monitoring time is set. When the value of “0” is “0”, the condition that the game ball has not passed through the specific area provided in the big prize opening 8 or the value of the big prize opening number counter is “15” or more ( It is confirmed whether any of the conditions of the final round) is satisfied. The special winning opening opening number counter counts the number of rounds in the big hit state. Further, when any of the above conditions is satisfied, the main CPU 31 sets a value (07) indicating the big hit end interval process in the control state flag and corresponds to the big hit end interval. Set time to latency timer. Further, when none of the above conditions is satisfied, the main CPU 31 sets a value (06) indicating the special winning opening reopening waiting time management process in the control state flag, and between rounds. The time corresponding to the interval is set in the waiting time timer.

  (H) Next, in step S20-8, the main CPU 31 determines that the control state flag is a value (06) indicating the special winning opening reopening waiting time process, and the waiting time in which the time corresponding to the interval between rounds is set. When the value of the timer is “0”, “1” is added to the value of the special winning opening opening number counter. Further, the main CPU 31 sets a value (04) indicating the process for reopening the big prize opening in the control state flag, and sets the upper opening time limit (for example, 30 seconds) in the big prize opening time timer.

  (L) Next, in step S20-9, the main CPU 31 determines that the control state flag is a value (07) indicating the big hit end interval process, and the value of the waiting time timer in which the time corresponding to the big hit end interval is set. If it is “0”, a value (08) indicating the special symbol game end process is set in the control state flag. Further, the main CPU 31 sets a high probability flag when a predetermined probability variation condition is satisfied. The high probability flag is a flag for determining whether or not the gaming state is a probability variation state.

  (Nu) Next, in step S20-10, when the control state flag is the value (08) indicating the special symbol game end process, the main CPU 31 subtracts “1” from the number of the start memories. The main CPU 31 shifts the data stored in the special symbol storage areas (“1” to “4”) to the special symbol storage areas (“0” to “3”), respectively, and also stores the special symbol storage. A value (00) indicating the check process is set in the control state flag. The special symbol storage area is stored in the main RAM 33 in order from the special symbol storage area “1”, such as a random number for jackpot determination extracted on condition that the game ball has passed the starting area. This is a start storage area. Also, the jackpot determination random number stored in the special symbol storage area ("1" to "4") corresponds to the start-up memory described above, and the jackpot determination stored in the special symbol storage area "0". The random number for use is used for determining a big hit in step S2026 of FIG. 9 to be described later.

  Next, details of the special symbol memory check process in step S20-2 of FIG. 8 will be described with reference to FIG.

  (A) First, in step S2021, the main CPU 31 checks whether or not the control state flag is a value (00) indicating a special symbol storage check. If the control state flag is a value (00) indicating a special symbol storage check, the main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S2022, and if the control state flag is not a value (00) indicating a special symbol storage check. Ends the special symbol memory check process.

  (B) Next, in step S2022, the main CPU 31 checks whether or not the number of start memories is “0”. The main CPU 31 proceeds to the process of step S2023 when the number of start memories is “0”, and proceeds to the process of step S2024 when the number of start memories is not “0”.

  (C) In step S2023, the main CPU 31 generates a command for instructing execution of the demonstration display, and ends the special symbol memory check process. In step S2024, the main CPU 31 sets a value (01) indicating special symbol variation time management in the control state flag.

  (D) Next, in step S2025, the main CPU 31 performs jackpot determination based on the jackpot determination random number value included in the start-up memory. In step S2026, the main CPU 31 confirms whether or not the result of the jackpot determination is to shift the gaming state to the jackpot state. The main CPU 31 proceeds to the processing of step S2028 when the result of the big hit determination is to shift the gaming state to the big hit state, and when the result of the big hit determination is not to shift the gaming state to the big hit state. Moves to the process of step S2027.

  (E) In step S2027, the main CPU 31 determines an off symbol based on a predetermined random number value. Specifically, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not to execute the reach effect content in the variable display of the special symbol based on the random number value extracted from the reach determination random number. Further, the main CPU 31 determines the symbols “left” and “right” based on the random number value extracted from the random numbers for determining the reach symbol when executing the contents of the reach effect in the variable symbol special display, The “medium” symbol is determined based on the random number value extracted from the random number for determining the missing symbol. Further, when the reach effect is not executed in the special symbol variable display, the main CPU 31 calculates the random number value extracted from the random symbols for determining the off symbol corresponding to “left”, “middle”, and “right”. Based on this, the symbols “left”, “middle”, and “right” are determined. In step S2028, the main CPU 31 determines the big hit symbol (“left”, “middle”, “right”) based on the random number for determining the big hit symbol included in the start-up memory.

  (F) Next, in step S2032, the main CPU 31 determines the variation pattern of the special symbol based on the random number value extracted from the random number for selecting the rendering condition. This variation pattern determination process will be described in detail later.

  (G) Next, in step S2033, the main CPU 31 sets the variable display time corresponding to the variation pattern determined in step S2032 in the waiting time timer. In step S2034, the main CPU 31 deletes the random number value used for the variable display of the special symbol this time from a predetermined storage area.

  Next, details of the variation pattern determination process in step S2032 of FIG. 9 will be described with reference to FIG.

  (A) First, in step S2032-1, the main CPU 31 checks whether or not a continuous winning flag indicating that a continuous winning has occurred is set at a designated address such as the main RAM. When the continuous winning flag is set, the process proceeds to step S2033-3, and when not set, the process proceeds to step S2032-2.

  (B) In step S2032-2, the main CPU 31 refers to the fluctuation pattern determination normal table illustrated in FIG. On the other hand, in step S2032-3, the main CPU 31 refers to the variation pattern determination special table shown in FIG. In step S2032-4, a random number value is extracted from the random number counter for determining the variation pattern. In step S2032-5, the fluctuation pattern is determined by comparing the fluctuation pattern determination normal table shown in FIG. 11 or the fluctuation pattern determination special table. Referring to the variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11, the main CPU 31 always has a shortened variation when the continuous winning flag is set (when the special symbol is variably displayed by the start memory accompanied by the continuous winning). Will occur.

  The processing in steps S2032-2 to S2032-5 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image displayed on the special symbol display device 4 in the present embodiment. FIG. 12A shows a display mode when variable display of special symbols is being executed. FIG. 12A shows a state in which the normal number of start memories is two. Here, since the game ball has won the start opening 6, as described above, the bar indicating the remaining time of the continuous detection time indicates the maximum value. In FIG. 12B, the special symbol stops, and in FIG. 12C, the special symbol variable display is executed based on the normal start-up memory. Since the variation pattern in FIG. 12C is based on the normal start-up memory, it is determined with reference to the normal table in FIG. 11 (FIG. 12D). On the other hand, in FIG. 12C, since the game ball has won the start opening 6 before the bar indicating the remaining time of the continuous detection time becomes 0, continuous winning has occurred. For this reason, in FIG. 12D, the special start-up memory is displayed in a color different from that of the normal start-up memory. Next, in FIG. 12E, a special symbol variable display (for example, a normal fluctuation with a fluctuation time of 10 seconds) is executed based on the normal start-up memory. Since the variation pattern in FIG. 12E is based on the normal start-up memory, it is determined with reference to the normal table in FIG. 11 (FIG. 12F). Next, in FIG. 12G, the special symbol variable display is executed based on the special start-up memory. Since the variation pattern in FIG. 12G is based on the special start-up memory, it is determined by referring to the special table in FIG. 11 (FIG. 12H). For this reason, a shortening variation in which the variable display time is shortened (for example, a shortening variation with a variation time of 3 seconds) is determined as the variation pattern, and the stop symbol shown in FIG.
