The configuration extends from the vicinity of the wall surface (that is, from the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the front glass 52 (front transparent plate) disposed on the front side of the two transparent plates) to the vicinity of the central display device 5. From another point of view, as shown in FIG. 1, in the plane direction parallel to the front surface 7d of the game board 7, the game board-side display panel 600 is arranged from the vicinity of the periphery of the viewable area 93 to the central display device of the game area 90a. It has a structure that extends to around 5.

6). Game State Generation Control Next, the game state generation control will be described. 14 to 17 show various routines executed by the control device 21. Each processing of these routines is executed based on the counter group and the flag F.

  The counter group includes a round counter R, a winning counter P, and a probability variation counter C. The round counter R is for counting the number of rounds, and the winning counter P is for counting the number of winning game balls B to the big winning opening 6 based on the detection result of the count switch 20. The probability variation counter C is used to determine the end of the high probability mode, and takes values of “2”, “1”, and “0”. Note that the initial values of the counters R, P, and C are all “0”.

  In addition, the counter group includes an internal random number counter for determining occurrence of a big hit gaming state, an outreach random number counter for determining outreach, etc., a respective symbol counter for determining stop symbols, and a reach And a reach type counter for determining the type of operation. Here, the outreach by the outreach random number counter refers to a state in which the winning combination is not finally made after the above-described reach gaming state. The flag F is used to determine whether or not the game ball B has won a prize in the V zone 11, and is set to “0” when no prize is detected by the V zone switch 19, and when a prize is detected. Set to “1”. It has already been explained that there are two types of probability modes, a low probability mode and a high probability mode, but the low probability mode is set as the initial value.

  Now, when the game is started by the player, the control device 21 starts with the first type of the game ball B based on the detection result of the start port switch 18 in step S10 of the special electric accessory control routine of FIG. It is determined whether or not there is a winning at the start port 4. If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated, and if it is satisfied, each value of the internal random number counter and the outlier reach random number counter is acquired and the value of each symbol counter is set in step S20. On the basis of the symbol sequences 8 to 10, the symbol is removed and acquired. Acquisition here refers to a process of reading the value of each counter and storing the value in a memory.

  Next, a symbol variation start process is executed in step S30. Specifically, in step S31 of FIG. 16, the symbols in the symbol rows 8 to 10 are variably displayed on the display device 5, respectively. This display makes it appear to the player that the three reels of left, middle and right are rotating. In step S32, it is determined whether the value of the internal random number counter is the same as the big hit value. As the jackpot value, two types of values (low probability jackpot value and high probability jackpot value) are prepared. The former is a value for generating the jackpot gaming state with the low probability described above, and the latter is a value for generating with a high probability. For example, when the internal random number counter is a value that is updated every predetermined time in the range of “0” to “299”, “7” is set as the low probability jackpot value, and “7”, “17” , “27”, “37”, “47” are the jackpot values for high probability. Then, the probability that the jackpot gaming state will be 1/300 when the low probability jackpot value is used as the jackpot value, and 1/60 when the high probability jackpot value is used as the jackpot value. When the low probability mode is set in the previous control cycle, the low probability jackpot value is selected as the jackpot value. When the high probability mode is set, the high probability jackpot value is selected as the jackpot value.

  If the determination condition of step S32 is satisfied, the big hit symbol corresponding to the big hit value is stored in the memory as a stop symbol in step S33. On the other hand, if the determination condition in step S32 is not satisfied, it is determined in step S34 whether or not the value of the outreach random number counter is the same as the predetermined outreach value. If this determination condition is satisfied, in step S35, a symbol corresponding to the detach reach value (hereinafter referred to as “disconnect reach symbol”) is stored in the memory as a stop symbol. If the determination condition in step S34 is not satisfied, the off symbol in step S20 is stored in the memory as a stop symbol in step S36. Then, after storing the stop symbol in the above steps S33, S35, S36, the symbol variation start processing routine is terminated.

  After executing the process of step S30 (symbol variation start process) as shown in FIG. 14, the symbol stored in the left and right symbol sequences 8 and 10 in step S40 of FIG. 14 is stored in one of steps S33, S35, and S36. Replace with design. The symbol fluctuations in the left and right symbol rows 8 and 10 are stopped by the symbol after replacement.

  In step S50, the symbol fluctuation in the middle symbol row 9 is stopped. Subsequently, in step S60, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination is a jackpot combination. If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated. If it is satisfied, a big hit signal ON is output to an output terminal (not shown) in step S70. Further, in step S80, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (in this case, an odd symbol). If the symbol is a special symbol (step S80: Yes), the probability variation jackpot signal ON is not shown in step S90. Output to the output terminal. Subsequently, in step S100, the round counter R is reset. In step S110, the winning counter P is reset and the flag F is set to “0”.

  Subsequently, the solenoid 15 is excited in step S120 of FIG. Then, the shutter 14 falls and the passage entrance of the special winning opening 6 is opened. With this opening, the game ball B can be awarded to the V zone 11 and the passages 12 and 13. In step S130, the round counter R is incremented by "1".

  Next, in step S140, it is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter P is equal to or less than a predetermined value Pmax. If this determination condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S150 whether or not the scheduled closing time of the special winning opening 6 is yet. If this determination condition is satisfied (step S150: Yes), the process returns to step S140. As a result, after the start of opening the grand prize winning opening 6, as long as there are no more Pmax game balls B won or the scheduled closing time arrives, the big winning prize opening 6 continues to be opened. On the other hand, if any one of the determination conditions in steps S140 and S150 is not satisfied, the solenoid 15 is demagnetized in step S160. Then, the shutter 14 is raised, and the passage entrance of the special winning opening 6 is closed.

  In step S170, it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter R is equal to or less than Rmax. If this determination condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S180 whether or not the flag F is “1”. If the determination condition of step S180 is satisfied (step S180: Yes), the process returns to step S110 of FIG. Therefore, once the big hit gaming state occurs, the big winning opening 6 repeats the opening / closing cycle until the game ball B wins the V zone 11 at most Rmax times. For example, when the predetermined value Pmax is set to “10”, the opening time of the big prize opening 6 is set to “about 29.5” seconds, and the predetermined value Rmax is set to “16”, the big prize is won. After the opening of the mouth 6, when one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) 10 game balls B win the big winning opening 6 or (2) about 29.5 seconds have passed. The winning opening 6 is closed. The opening / closing cycle of the big winning opening 6 is repeated up to 16 times on condition that the game ball B wins the V zone 11. If any one of the determination conditions in steps S170 and S180 is not satisfied, “big hit signal OFF” is output to an output terminal (not shown) in step S190. Further, in step S200, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (in this case, an odd symbol). If the symbol is a special symbol (step S200: Yes), the probability variation jackpot signal OFF is not shown in step S210. Output to the output terminal. Subsequently, a probability variation process is executed in step S220, and then the special electric accessory control routine is terminated.

  In the probability variation processing routine of FIG. 17, in step S221, it is determined whether or not the big hit symbol is a normal symbol (in this case, an even symbol). If this determination condition is not satisfied (step S221: No), that is, if the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (odd symbol), whether or not the probability variation counter C is “0” in step S227 (high probability mode) When the probability variation counter C is “0” (in the high probability mode) (S227: Yes), in step S228, the probability variation signal ON is output to an output terminal (not shown). Output. Subsequently, in step S229, the high probability mode is set, and the probability variation counter C is set to “2”. After executing the processing of step S229, the probability variation processing routine is terminated. Thus, when the big hit gaming state is continuously generated with the special symbol (odd symbol) during the high probability, the high probability mode is continued.

  On the other hand, if the determination condition in step S221 is satisfied, that is, if the jackpot symbol is a normal symbol (even symbol), it is determined in step S222 whether the probability variation counter C is not "0". If the determination condition is not satisfied (C = 0), the probability variation processing routine is terminated. If the determination condition is satisfied (C = 2, 1), the probability variation counter C is decremented by “1” in step S223. In step S224, it is determined whether or not the probability variation counter C is “0”. If the determination condition is not satisfied (C = 1), the probability variation processing routine is terminated. If the determination condition is satisfied (C = 0), in step S225, the probability changing signal OFF is output to an output terminal (not shown). In S226, the low probability mode is set. Once the high probability mode is set in this way, the probability is high until the probability variation counter C becomes “0”, that is, after the high probability mode is set, until the big hit gaming state is continuously generated twice with an even number of symbols. The mode continues. When the big hit gaming state with an even number of symbols continues twice, the high probability mode ends and the mode is switched to the low probability mode.

  Note that the processing procedure in the present embodiment is an example, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the symbol variation process (step S31) may be performed after the stop symbol storage process (steps S33, S35, S36).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when it is detected that the game ball B has won the first type starting port 4, the values of the respective counters are acquired and the symbol columns 8 to 10 are variably displayed. A stop symbol is stored based on the value of each counter, and the symbol variation is stopped by the stop symbol. If the combination of symbols displayed when the game is stopped is a big win combination, a big win gaming state that is advantageous to the player occurs, and the game ball B is won in the V zone 11 at the maximum Rmax times until the big prize opening 6 open / close cycles are repeated.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (odd symbol), the high probability mode is set, and the probability of occurrence of the jackpot gaming state is increased two times, the next time and the next time. That is, once the high probability mode is set, the probability of occurrence of two big hit gaming states is increased from the next time, but if the big hit gaming state occurs again with an odd symbol during that period, the high probability mode is set. . On the other hand, if a big hit gaming state occurs in the normal symbol (even symbol) after the period has elapsed, the high probability mode ends (switches to the low probability mode). Instead of increasing the probability of occurrence of the big hit gaming state over the next two times, the probability of occurrence of the big hit gaming state may be increased only the next time.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, based on the establishment of the specific game conditions that occur in the processing as described above, specific display on the central display device 5, specific display on the game board side display panel 600, and specification on the door display panel 150 Display control is performed so that the display is performed in association with each other. The establishment of the specific game condition is preferably, for example, an establishment of any state selected from a jackpot state, a probability variation state, a reach state, a reach notice state, and a short-time state. Both the display and the specific display on the game board side display panel 600 can be performed in association with each other based on the establishment of the same specific game condition. For example, in order to perform the specific display (described later) as shown in FIG. 18 to FIG. 22 on the condition that the probability variation state occurs, the design as shown in FIG. 18 to FIG. 22 is accompanied with the processing of S90 in FIG. What is necessary is just to make it display. In any case, the display of the plurality of display areas changes in relation to each other with the establishment of a certain specific game condition, so that the specific game condition can be further increased.
