Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various game machines have been proposed that include a symbol display device that is provided in a game area and displays a plurality of identification symbols in a plurality of display areas.
For example, after the three lines of identification symbols have fluctuated, the normal reach where two hit symbols of the same type are stopped and displayed on one hit line, or the same type hit on each of two intersecting hit lines When a plurality of types of reach such as a double reach in which two symbols are stopped and displayed are established, a gaming machine configured to have different sound effects and lighting modes in each reach has been proposed (for example, , See Patent Document 1).
JP 2001-259168 A (paragraphs (0018) to (0209), FIGS. 1 to 34)

  However, in a general gaming machine, it is important which symbol is reached when reaching (for example, whether or not the symbol reaches a high probability state after the jackpot game ends). In the above-described configuration of the gaming machine, since the sound effect and the lighting mode for informing that the reach has been reached are to distinguish and notify only the type of reach, the sound effect for informing that the reach has been achieved. There is a problem that the lighting mode is not very meaningful and cannot attract the player's interest.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and when reaching reach, the identification pattern in which the player enters the reach state can be intuitively understood. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of performing reach notification control to notify that it has become.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the gaming machine according to claim 1, each identification symbol variably displayed in each of the plurality of display areas of the symbol display device corresponds to a different character symbol and each character symbol. It consists of a number design. Then, in the reach state that is the immediately preceding variation state in which the identification symbol stopped in each display area constitutes a predetermined mode, the identification symbol having the same character symbol is stopped and displayed. Further, when the reach state is reached, the reach state is notified by the reach notification voice corresponding to the character symbol of the identification symbol stopped and displayed in the reach state. In addition, a plurality of reach notification voices for notifying that a reach state has been reached correspond to each character design, and at least a part of each character design corresponding to each reach notification speech can be identified. It has become.

  As a result, when the reach state is reached, the reach notification voice corresponding to the character symbol of the identification symbol stopped and displayed in the reach state is informed that the reach state has been reached. Even if the user is not gazing, the reach notification control for notifying that the reach state has been achieved can be surely performed in a manner in which the identification state can be intuitively understood.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to claim 2, in the gaming machine according to claim 1, a normal reach state in which identification symbols having the same character symbol are arranged in a line at one predetermined stop position in each display area When it becomes, it is notified that it became the normal reach state by notifying mutually different first lines corresponding to the character symbol by voice corresponding to the character symbol of the identification symbol stopped and displayed in the normal reach state. Is done. In addition, when the double reach state in which two kinds of identification symbols having the same character design are arranged so as to cross each other at a plurality of predetermined stop positions in each display area, the display is stopped in the double reach state. The second speech different from the first speech for notifying the normal reach state is simultaneously informed by the different voices corresponding to the character symbols of the two types of identification symbols, and the double reach state is informed. The

As a result, when the normal reach state is reached, a different first line corresponding to the character symbol is notified by voice corresponding to the character symbol of the identification symbol stopped and displayed in the normal reach state. Therefore, even if the player is not paying attention to the symbol display device, the voice corresponding to each character symbol and the first serif that is different from each other will be in a normal reach state with any identification symbol. Reach notification control that can clearly understand whether or not
Also, when the double reach state is entered, unlike the normal reach state, the double reach state is entered with different voices corresponding to the character symbols of the two types of identification symbols that are stopped and displayed in the double reach state. The second line for notifying that it has become is simultaneously notified. For this reason, even if the player is not gazing at the symbol display device, the voice differs depending on the character symbol corresponding to the identification symbol that is in the double reach state, but it is informed that the player has entered the double reach state with the same second line. Therefore, it is possible to notify that the double reach state has been achieved by a plurality of voices, and by notifying the same second line with a plurality of voices, the player can be surely heard, Reach notification control that can accurately notify that the double reach state has been established can be performed reliably.
Further, when the normal reach state is reached, each first line corresponding to the character pattern of each identification symbol that is stopped and displayed is notified, and when the double reach state is reached, a second line that is different from each first line. Therefore, the player can accurately know whether the state is the normal reach state or the double reach state based on whether each first line or a second line different from each first line.

The starting port 57 is provided with a starting port switch 57A (see FIG. 4) for detecting the winning of the pachinko ball, and the three rows of identification symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 by detecting the winning of the pachinko ball. The fluctuation starts. If the winning symbol 57 is won while the identification symbol is changing, the winning symbol is stored in the RAM provided on the main control board 290 (see FIG. 4) up to four as will be described later, and the change of the changing symbol is confirmed. Held as a count.

  Further, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display unit 50 is changed by detecting the passage of the pachinko ball through the gate 54. Then, when a pachinko ball enters the gate 54 and the normal symbol on the normal symbol display unit 50 changes and then stops in a predetermined display mode (for example, “11”, “77”, etc.) The tulip-type accessory 57B provided at the upper part of the start port 57 is opened for a predetermined time (in this embodiment, about 1 second), and the probability that a pachinko ball wins the start port 57 increases. If the pachinko ball passes through the gate 54 while the normal symbol is fluctuating, the number of passages is stored in the RAM provided on the main control board 290, as will be described later, and is stored as the fixed number of variations of the normal symbol. Is done.

A special winning device 61 is provided below the starting port 57. The special winning device 61 is formed with a large winning port 60 whose front surface is covered with an open / close door 59 having a wide lateral opening. In addition, a so-called V port is formed in the center of the big winning port 60, and a V switch 60B (see FIG. 4) for detecting a winning in the V port is provided. Also, in the special winning opening 60, there is provided a special winning opening switch 60A (see FIG. 4) for counting the number of pachinko balls won when the open / close door 59 is opened.

Next, the configuration of the control system related to the drive control of the pachinko machine 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 4, the control system related to the drive control of the pachinko machine 1 includes a main control board 290, a sub-integrated control board 280, an effect display board 260, and the like.
The main control board 290 includes a CPU 291, ROM 292, RAM 293, input / output circuit (I / O) 294, etc., and the CPU 291, ROM 292, RAM 293, and input / output circuit 294 are connected to each other by a bus line. . A clock circuit 295 is connected to the CPU 291 and a predetermined clock signal is input. The input / output circuit 294 is connected to a gate switch 54A, a start port switch 57A, a big prize port switch 60A, a V switch 60B, and the like. The input / output circuit 294 is connected to an opening / closing solenoid 59A for opening / closing the opening / closing door 59 and a solenoid 57C for opening / closing a tulip-type accessory 57B.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the RAM 293 of the main control board 290 stores a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding one by one from 0 to 359 based on the clock signal input from the clock circuit 295 (the maximum value 359 is followed by the minimum value). A big hit counter 293A for storing “Return to 0” is provided. The count value of the big hit counter 293A is read at the timing when the switch signal is input from the start port switch 57A, and it is determined whether or not the big hit counter is based on the read count value. Here, for example, the count value “7” corresponds to the big hit, and the other count values are lost. Also, for example, in normal times, the count value “7” corresponds to the big hit, and in the case of the so-called probability fluctuation mode (when probability variation is acquired), the count values “1, 3, 5, 7” correspond to the big hit. The other count values are out of range. Therefore, in the gaming state in the non-probability change mode, a jackpot occurs with a probability of 1/360, and in the gaming state with a probability change, a jackpot occurs with a probability of 4/360.
When the jackpot is lottery, after the three left, middle, and right identification symbols in the display screen of the liquid crystal display 52 change, the first identification symbol having a numerical symbol 81B of “one” to be described later. 81, any one of the second identification symbol 82 having the numeral symbol 82B of “two” and the third identification symbol 83 having the numeral symbol 83B of “three” (see FIG. 15) is “one-on-one”, “two” “22” and “33” are displayed after being confirmed and stopped. After that, as will be described later, the special winning opening 60 can be continuously opened for a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times), and each time 29 Within 5 seconds or 29.5 seconds, the game is opened until the total number of winning prizes reaches 10 and the player receives a lot of prize balls (in other words, a state advantageous to the player) So-called jackpot games can be played (see FIG. 22).

  Further, the RAM 293 stores a normal symbol counter 293B in which a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding 1 from 0 to 9 (returning to the minimum value 0 next to the maximum value 9) based on the clock signal input from the clock circuit 295 is stored. Is provided. The count value of the normal symbol counter 293B is read at a timing when a switch signal is input from each gate switch 54A, and it is determined whether or not it is a hit based on the read count value. Here, for example, the case where the count value is an even number corresponds to a win, and the case where the count value is an odd number corresponds to a loss.

  Here, when the pachinko ball passes through the gate 54 (see FIG. 3), the normal symbol counter 293B then stores the numerical value stored when the signal from the gate switch that detects the passage of the pachinko ball is input. Is stored in the parameter storage area 293K as “ordinary symbol count value”.

  In addition, a first holding counter 293C is provided that counts up to a maximum of four winnings in the starting port 57 while the design of the liquid crystal display 52 is changing. Further, a second holding counter 293D is provided that counts up to four passes through the gate 54 while the normal symbol of the normal symbol display unit 50 is changing.

  In addition, the RAM 293 stores a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding 1 from 0 to 2 based on the clock signal output from the clock circuit 295 (the maximum value 2 is then returned to the minimum value 0). A counter 293F is provided. The count value of the jackpot special symbol selection counter 293F is read at the timing when the switch signal is input from the start port switch 57A, and the identification symbols in the left, middle, and right columns vary based on the read count value. After that, the combination pattern of the jackpot symbol that is stopped and displayed is specified. For example, the jackpot symbol “1 1” of the first identification symbol 81 having the number symbol 81B having the count value “0” “1”, and the second identification symbol having the numeral symbol 82B having the count value “1” “2”. This corresponds to the jackpot symbol “33 33” of the third identification symbol 83 having the number symbol 83B having the jackpot symbol “22 22” of 82 and the count value “2” “3”. Each jackpot symbol is a symbol that is stopped and displayed after a series of symbol variations, as is well known.

  The RAM 293 stores a normal symbol selection counter in which a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding one by one from 0 to 3 based on the clock signal output from the clock circuit 295 (returns to the minimum value 0 next to the maximum value 3) is stored. 293G is provided. Here, for example, the count value “0” is the normal symbol “11”, the count value “1” is the normal symbol “17”, the count value “2” is the normal symbol “71”, and the count value “3” is the normal symbol “17”. 77 ". Each ordinary symbol is a symbol that is stopped and displayed after a series of symbol fluctuations, as is well known.

  Here, when the pachinko ball passes through the gate 54 (see FIG. 3), the normal symbol selection counter 293G receives the numerical value stored when the signal from the gate switch that detects the passage of the pachinko ball is input. The “normal symbol selection count value” at that time is stored in a parameter storage area 293K described later.

  The RAM 293 stores a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding one by one from 0 to 99 based on the clock signal output from the clock circuit 295 (the maximum value 99 then returns to the minimum value 0). 293H is provided. The count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H is read at the timing when the switch signal is input from the start port switch 57A. Note that the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H may be configured to be read at the timing when the variation of the identification symbols of the three columns of the liquid crystal display 52 is started. As is well known, the variation pattern command selected based on the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H specifies a variation pattern for displaying a series of symbol variations on the special symbol display device 48 based on various display effects. In this embodiment, as described later, the display effect time of “5 seconds” (see FIG. 10) is set as the display pattern change time. In addition, two types of reach loss variation patterns of “20 seconds” and “30 seconds” (see FIG. 10) are set. Furthermore, in the variation pattern of the big hit (usually big hit and probability variation big hit), those of “22 seconds” and “32 seconds” (see FIG. 10) are set.

Further, the RAM 293 stores a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding 1 from 0 to 200 based on the clock signal output from the clock circuit 295 (the maximum value 200 then returns to the minimum value 0). 293I is provided. The count value of the lost symbol selection counter 293I is read at the timing when the switch signal is input from the start port switch 57A.
Further, the RAM 293 stores a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding one by one from 0 to 143 based on the clock signal output from the clock circuit 295 (returns to the minimum value 0 next to the maximum value 143), and the reach / losing symbol selection counter. 293J is provided. The count value of the reach lose symbol selection counter 293J is read at the timing when the switch signal is input from the start port switch 57A.

  Reach means that after the left, middle and right columns of identification symbols fluctuate, the fluctuation display of the left column and the right column stops at any one of the identification symbols 81, 82, 83, Normal reach states (for example, “1 ↓ 1”, “2 ↓ 2”, “3 ↓ 3” states) in which the identification symbol in the middle row fluctuates, and the fluctuation display in the left and right rows are identified. It is a double reach state in which any two of the symbols 81, 82, 83 are aligned and stopped so as to intersect left and right, and the identification symbol in the middle row varies (for example, “12 ↓ 21”, “ It is the state of "23 ↓ 32", "31 ↓ 13", etc.) In addition, the identification symbols that stop in the left column and the right column among the three identification symbols of left, middle, and right at the time of reach are called reach symbols. Accordingly, the reach loss means that after reaching the reach state, the identification symbol in the middle row stops at an identification symbol different from the reach symbol. Also, complete loss refers to ending without reaching reach.

Further, the RAM 293 is provided with a parameter storage area 293K for storing the count values of the counters 293A to 293J when a switch signal is input from the start port switch 57A.
Note that the count values and the parameter storage area 293K of the counters 293A to 293J are initialized to “0” at startup. The first hold counter 293C is decremented by 1 every time the special symbol starts to change. The second hold counter 293D is decremented by 1 every time the normal symbol starts to change.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the ROM 292 stores a later-described variation pattern determination table 73 (see FIG. 10) for determining a variation pattern based on the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H. A storage area 292A is provided.

The input / output circuit 284 is connected to the input / output circuit 294 of the main control board 290. Further, the input / output circuit 284 is connected to the drive circuits 71 and 72 and the switch buttons 9A and 9B.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the RAM 283 of the sub-integrated control board 280 repeatedly adds one by one from 0 to 13 based on the clock signal input from the clock circuit 285 (the minimum value is next to the maximum value 13). An effect pattern selection counter 283A in which “return to value 0” is stored is provided. The count value of the effect pattern selection counter 283A is read at the timing when the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board 290 is input (S205 in FIG. 23), and the read count value is stored in the parameter storage area 283C. Remembered.

Then, the CPU 261 performs a predetermined effect display on the liquid crystal display 52 based on various control signals such as display pattern information input from the sub integrated control board 280.

  9, the ROM 262 of the effect display board 260 stores an effect display pattern table 76 (see FIG. 13) and a second effect display pattern table 77 (see FIG. 14) described later. A display pattern table storage area 262A is provided. The ROM 262 is provided with an identification symbol storage area 262B in which a first identification symbol 81, a second identification symbol 82, and a third identification symbol 83 (see FIG. 15), which will be described later, are stored. In addition, the ROM 262 performs later-described control for performing display control of the liquid crystal display 52 of the effect display pattern corresponding to each effect pattern command 1A, 11A,..., 22F described later (see FIGS. 11 and 12). A program (see FIG. 25, etc.) is stored.

Next, the variation pattern determination table 73 stored in the variation pattern determination table storage area 292A of the ROM 292 of the main control board 290 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the variation pattern determination table stored in the variation pattern determination table storage area 292A of the ROM 292 of the main control board 290 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 10, the variation pattern determination table 73 is mainly composed of three pattern groups. A complete loss variation pattern group (variation pattern command 1) and a reach loss variation pattern group (variation pattern command 11, variation pattern command 12). ) And a big hit variation pattern group (a variation pattern command 21 and a variation pattern command 22). First, “lost” and “hit” (regardless of whether it is a normal big hit or a probable big hit) are determined based on the count value of the big hit counter 293A. Next, in the case of “losing”, one of the variation pattern commands 1, 11, and 12 is determined based on the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H. In the case of “big hit”, one of the variation pattern commands 21 and 22 is determined based on the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H. Specific control for determining each variation pattern command 1 to 22 will be described later (see FIG. 16).

For example, the complete loss variation pattern command 1 is determined when “lost” is determined from the count value of the big hit counter 293A and the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H is “0 to 89”.
The reach-losing variation pattern command 11 is determined when “lost” is determined from the count value of the big hit counter 293A and the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H is “90 to 95”. The reach-losing variation pattern command 12 is determined when “lost” is determined from the count value of the big hit counter 293A and the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H is “96 to 99”.

  The jackpot variation pattern command 21 is determined when it is determined that the jackpot is based on the count value of the jackpot counter 293A and the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H is “0 to 39”. The jackpot variation pattern command 22 is determined when “big hit” is determined from the count value of the jackpot counter 293A and the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H is “40 to 99”.

  Next, an example of the first effect pattern selection table 74 and the second effect pattern selection table 75 stored in the effect pattern selection table storage area 282A of the ROM 282 of the sub-integrated control board 280 will be described with reference to FIGS. . Here, in the first effect pattern selection table 74 and the second effect pattern selection table 75, the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 indicates instruction information (specifically, the variation pattern command and the final stop symbol information from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290). ) Is input to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260, and an effect pattern (effect pattern command) as display instruction information to be output (instructed), and reach notification to be notified via the speaker 7 when the reach state is reached. This is a table used when selecting the “line” and the voice for notifying the line (see FIG. 23).

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the first effect pattern selection table 74 and the second effect pattern selection table 75 are “variation pattern command” that represents instruction information of the variation pattern input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290. Similarly, “final stop symbol instruction” representing each of the three columns of identification symbols to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 at the time of final confirmation stop, and a variation pattern command input from the CPU 291 are input from the CPU 291. An “effect pattern count value” representing the count value of the effect pattern selection counter 283A, an “effect pattern command” corresponding to this “effect pattern count value”, a “reach symbol” corresponding to this “effect pattern command”, and reach The “reach notification line” and the “ And a riff of voice ". The “effect pattern command” is a command for instructing the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 to effect display the display image data of the effect display pattern corresponding to the effect pattern command on the liquid crystal display 52. is there. Further, the “reach notification speech” and the “speech voice” are reproduced to the drive circuit 71 via the speaker 7 as a reach notification sound for notifying the reach state corresponding to the effect pattern command. It is a command to instruct. The “effect pattern command” is a command for instructing the drive circuit 72 to drive the lighting lamp 6 and the like in accordance with the lighting drive pattern corresponding to the effect display pattern command. Specific control based on each production pattern command will be described later (see FIG. 23 and the like).

  For example, the “variation pattern command” input from the main control board 290 is “1”, the final stop symbol is completely lost, and the count value of the acquired effect pattern selection counter 283A is “0 to 13”. In such a case, the effect pattern command 1A is selected based on the first effect pattern selection table 74. The effect pattern command 1A is a combination of identification symbols (for example, “12”) that notifies the complete loss instructed from the main control board 290 after 5 seconds from the start of fluctuation of the three columns of identification symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52. 3 ") is stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal display 52, and the game music corresponding thereto and the effect pattern for performing the lighting drive pattern of the electric lamp 6, etc. are specified.

The first identification symbol 81 is selected. In addition, “Leachy” is selected as the “reach notification line” of the reach notification sound to be reproduced via the speaker 7, and “male voice” is selected as the “voice voice”.
The effect pattern command 11A is the reach of the first identification symbol 81 as a normal reach, the type of reach effect is “reach A”, and after 20 seconds from the start of variation of the three rows of identification symbols, the main control board 290 A combination of identification symbols (e.g., “13-1”) for notifying the reach loss instructed by the player is stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal display 52, and the reach notification sound and the illumination lamp are reproduced via the corresponding speaker 7. This is a command for specifying an effect pattern for performing a lighting drive pattern such as 6 or the like.

Further, the “variation pattern command” input from the main control board 290 is “12”, the final stop symbol is the first identification symbol 81 having the male character symbol 81A, and the count of the acquired effect pattern selection counter 283A is obtained. When the value is “7 to 13”, the effect pattern command 12B is selected based on the first effect pattern selection table 74, and the first identification symbol 81 having the male character symbol 81A as the reach symbol and the child character symbol. A third identification symbol 83 having 83A is selected. Further, “double reach” is selected as the “reach notification line” of the reach notification voice to be reproduced through the speaker 7, and “man and child voice” is selected as the “voice voice”.
This effect pattern command 12B is a reach of the first identification symbol 81 and the third identification symbol 83, and the reach effect type is “reach B”, and 30 seconds after the start of the variation of the identification symbols in the three columns. The combination of identification symbols (for example, “13, 2, 31”) for informing the reach loss instructed from the main control board 290 is stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal display 52, and the corresponding speaker 7 is used. This is a command for specifying an effect pattern for performing a reach notification sound to be reproduced and a lighting drive pattern for the illumination lamp 6 and the like.

Further, the “variation pattern command” input from the main control board 290 is “22”, the final stop symbol is the second identification symbol 82 having the female character symbol 82A, and the count of the acquired effect pattern selection counter 283A is obtained. When the value is “7 to 13”, the effect pattern command 22D is selected based on the second effect pattern selection table 75, and the second identification symbol 82 and the child character symbol having the female character symbol 82A as the reach symbol. A third identification symbol 83 having 83A is selected. In addition, “double reach” is selected as the “reach notification speech” of the reach notification sound to be reproduced via the speaker 7, and “woman and child voice” is selected as the “voice voice”.
This effect pattern command 22D is a reach of the second identification symbol 82 and the third identification symbol 83, and the reach effect type is “reach B”, and 32 seconds after the start of variation of the identification symbols in the three columns. The combination of identification symbols (for example, “23, 2, 32”) for notifying the jackpot instructed from the main control board 290 is stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 and the corresponding speaker 7 is used. This is a command for specifying an effect pattern for performing a reach notification sound to be reproduced and a lighting drive pattern for the illumination lamp 6 and the like.

  Next, the first effect display pattern table 76 and the second effect display pattern table 77 stored in the effect display pattern table storage area 262A of the ROM 262 of the effect display substrate 260 will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, in the first effect display pattern table 76 and the second effect display pattern table 77, the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 receives the “effect pattern command” (FIG. 11, FIG. 11) as display instruction information from the CPU 281 of the sub integrated control board 280. FIG. 12 is a table used when selecting each effect display pattern set in advance corresponding to the display instruction information. Then, the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 reads effect display moving image data corresponding to the selected effect display pattern from the ROM 262 and displays it on the liquid crystal display 52 in accordance with a program related to display control described later (see FIG. 25 and the like). Control.

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the first effect display pattern table 76 and the second effect display pattern table 77 include each effect pattern command representing display instruction information input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280, and each It is composed of “effect display patterns” preset for the effect pattern commands.
Further, “1A”, “11A” to “11C”, and “12A” to “12F” are stored in advance in the “effect pattern command” of the first effect display pattern table 76. Also, “21A” to “21C” and “22A” to “22F” are stored in advance in the “effect pattern command” of the second effect display pattern table 77.
Therefore, the first effect display pattern table 76 is a table used when selecting each effect display pattern for displaying the effect display of complete loss and reach loss on the liquid crystal display 52. The second effect display pattern table 77 is a table used when selecting each effect display pattern for displaying the jackpot effect display on the liquid crystal display 52.

  For example, in the “effect display pattern” of the first effect display pattern table 76, “change start → first symbol stop → representing video data of complete loss of about 5 seconds with respect to“ 1A ”of the“ effect pattern command ”→ “2nd symbol stop → 3rd symbol stop → lose display (5 seconds)” is stored in advance (see FIG. 13). For example, when the final stop symbol is “123”, the complete loss video data is the first in the first column when a predetermined time (for example, about 1.5 seconds) has elapsed after the start of fluctuation. The first identification symbol 81 is stopped and displayed on the symbol, and then the third identification symbol 83 is stopped and displayed on the second symbol in the third column when a predetermined time (for example, about 2 seconds) has elapsed. When a predetermined time (for example, about 1.5 seconds) has elapsed, the second identification symbol 82 is stopped and displayed on the third symbol in the second column.

  In addition, the “effect display pattern” in the first effect display pattern table 76 includes “change start → second change” indicating the reach loss data of reach A effect display for about 20 seconds with respect to “11A” of the “effect pattern command”. 1 symbol stop → 2nd symbol stop (“Richidi” in male voice) → reach A effect → 3rd symbol stop → reach loss display (20 seconds) ”is stored in advance (see FIG. 13). The reach loss video data is, for example, in the first column when a predetermined time (for example, about 5 seconds) elapses after the start of fluctuation in the case where the final stop symbol is “one and one” with the “effect pattern command 11A”. The first identification symbol 81 is stopped and displayed on the first symbol of the eye, and subsequently, when a predetermined time (for example, about 7 seconds) has passed (the time T1 after the three-column identification symbol variation display is started). After the second symbol), the second symbol in the third row is stopped and displayed with the reach symbol of the first identification symbol 81, and after reaching the reach A effect display for a predetermined time (for example, about 8 seconds), the second symbol The third symbol in the second column is stopped and displayed as a second identification symbol 82 that is not a reach symbol.

  In addition, the “effect display pattern” in the first effect display pattern table 76 includes “change start → second change” indicating the reach loss data of reach B effect display for about 30 seconds with respect to “12B” of the “effect pattern command”. 1 symbol stop → 2nd symbol stop → re-variation → 1st 2nd symbol stops in 2 steps (“double reach” with male and child voice) → reach B production → 3rd symbol stop (female character symbol) → reach lose display (30 seconds) "is stored in advance (see FIG. 13). This reach lose movie data includes a “identification pattern command 12B”, a final stop symbol of “one and one”, a reach symbol of a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81A, and a third identification symbol 83 having a child character symbol 83A. In this case, when a predetermined time (for example, about 5 seconds) has elapsed after the start of fluctuation, the first identification symbol 81 is stopped and displayed on the first symbol in the first column, and then, for a predetermined time (for example, about 7 seconds.) After the time has elapsed, the second symbol in the third column is stopped and displayed as the second identification symbol 82, and then the identification symbols in the third column fluctuate again, followed by a predetermined time (for example, about 2 The first identification symbol 81 and the third identification symbol 83 in the first symbol of the first column when the time has elapsed (when the time T2 seconds have elapsed since the start of the display of the variation of the identification symbols in the three columns). Is displayed on the second symbol in the third row. 3 identification symbols 83 and the first identification symbol 81 is stopped and displayed vertically. Then, after a reach B effect display for a predetermined time (for example, about 15 seconds), the third symbol in the second column is stopped and displayed as the second identification symbol 82 having the female character symbol 82A that is not the reach symbol. When about 30 seconds have elapsed from the start of the variation of the three rows of identification symbols, a fixed stop display is made to notify reach lose.

  In addition, the “effect display pattern” of the second effect display pattern table 77 includes “change start → representing the big hit video data of reach B effect display for about 32 seconds with respect to“ 22D ”of the“ effect pattern command ”→ 1st symbol stop-> 2nd symbol stop-> re-variation-1st 2nd symbol stop every 2 steps ("double reach" with male and child voice)-> reach B production-> 3rd symbol stop (female character symbol)-> hit "Display (32 seconds)" is stored in advance (see FIG. 14). The jackpot video data is a third identification symbol 83 having a second identification symbol 82 having a “design pattern command 22D”, a final stop symbol “22” and a reach symbol having a female character symbol 82A, and a child character symbol 83A. In this case, when a predetermined time (for example, about 5 seconds) has elapsed after the start of fluctuation, the first identification symbol 81 is stopped and displayed on the first symbol in the first column, and then, for a predetermined time (for example, about 7 seconds.) After the time has elapsed, the second symbol in the third column is stopped and displayed as the second identification symbol 82, and then the identification symbols in the third column fluctuate again, followed by a predetermined time (for example, about 2 The second identification symbol 82 and the third identification symbol 83 in the first symbol of the first column when the time has elapsed (when the time T2 seconds has elapsed since the start of the display of the variation of the identification symbols in the three columns). Is stopped and displayed at the top and bottom, and the third symbol in the second symbol of the third column Stop displaying different symbols 83 and the second identification symbols 82 up and down. Then, after a reach B effect display for a predetermined time (for example, about 15 seconds), the third symbol in the second row is stopped and displayed at the second identification symbol 82 having the same female character symbol 82A as the reach symbol. Then, when about 32 seconds have elapsed from the start of the variation of the identification symbols in the three rows, a fixed stop display is displayed to notify the jackpot acquisition.

Next, the first identification symbol 81 to the third identification symbol 83 stored in the identification symbol storage area 262B of the ROM 262 of the effect display board 260 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 15A, the first identification symbol 81 is composed of a male character symbol 81A and a numerical symbol 81B superimposed on the lower right corner of the male character symbol 81A.
This male character design 81A is a design of a man with a large chin that is tied up, wearing a kimono, with the upper body jumping out of the scroll, protruding the tenth hand held in the left hand forward, It is a character design showing the figure which has pulled up the kimono sleeve to the shoulder. In addition, the numeral pattern 81B is displayed by superimposing the Chinese numeral “1” on the upper side of the round disk and indicating that the scroll display order is first.

As shown in FIG. 15B, the second identification symbol 82 includes a female character symbol 82A and a numeric symbol 82B superimposed on the lower right corner of the female character symbol 82A.
This female character symbol 82A is a character symbol representing a figure in which the face part of a young bridegroom jumps out of the scroll and has a smoke pipe in his left hand. In addition, the numerical symbol 82B is displayed with the Chinese numeral “2” superimposed on the upper side of the round disk, indicating that the scroll display order is second.

As shown in FIG. 15C, the third identification symbol 83 includes a child character symbol 83A and a numerical symbol 83B superimposed on the lower right corner of the child character symbol 83A.
This child character pattern 83A is a character pattern representing the upper body of a child princess who brings his right hand and left hand with a fan under his chin and winks with his left eye closed. Also, the numerical symbol 83B is displayed with the Chinese numeral “three” superimposed on the upper side of the round disk, indicating that the scroll display order is third.
Therefore, when each of the identification symbols 81 to 83 is variably displayed, the first identification symbol 81 → second identification symbol 82 → third identification symbol 83 → first identification symbol 81 →... The

  Next, control processing of the pachinko machine 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, interrupt control processing executed by the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 22 are flowcharts of interrupt control processing executed by the CPU 291 of the main control board 290. Here, the interrupt control process of FIG. 16 operates every certain time (for example, every 4 msec) after the power is turned on. 16 to 22 are stored in the ROM 292 and the RAM 293 provided in the main control board 290, and are executed by the CPU 291.

  As shown in FIG. 16, first, in step (hereinafter referred to as “S”) 1, the CPU 291 executes a sub process of the start opening winning process. In S2, the CPU 291 executes a sub process of the jackpot determination process. Subsequently, in S3, the CPU 291 executes the sub-process of the variation pattern selection process, then executes the sub-process of the command transmission process in S4, and further executes the confirmation signal transmission process in S5. After that, in S6, the CPU 291 determines that the winning prize opening 60 is continuously performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times) when winning the jackpot as a result of the determination in S2, and within 29.5 seconds or 29.5 seconds each time. After executing the sub-process of the jackpot game process for performing control related to the jackpot game (special game state) that is released until the number of winning prizes at the jackpot 60 reaches 10, then, in S7, through the prize ball payout device 22 Then, a sub-process of a prize ball payout process for paying out a winning ball for each winning ball to each of the winning holes 62 and 63, the start opening 57 and the big winning opening 60 is executed, and the process is terminated.

Next, the sub-process of the start opening winning process (S1) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 17, first, in S 11, the CPU 291 receives a pachinko ball winning signal from the start port 57, that is, a pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57 A is received via an input / output circuit (I / O) 294. A determination process for determining whether or not an input has been made is executed.
When the pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57A is not input via the input / output circuit 294 (S11: NO), the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

  On the other hand, when the pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57A is input via the input / output circuit 294 (S11: YES), in S12, the CPU 291 causes the big hit counter 293A, the first hold counter 293C, “Count value acquisition process” for acquiring each count value of the reach counter 293E, the big hit special symbol selection counter 293F, the fluctuation pattern selection counter 293H, the loss symbol selection counter 293I, the reach loss symbol selection counter 293J, etc., and storing it in the parameter storage area 293K Is executed, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

  For example, when the pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57A is input via the input / output circuit 294, the CPU 291 reads the count value of the big hit counter 293A and substitutes this count value into the algebra V. And stored in the RAM 293. At the same time, the CPU 291 reads the count value of the first hold counter 293C, substitutes this count value for the algebra U, and stores it in the RAM 293. At the same time, the CPU 291 reads the count value of the jackpot special symbol selection counter 293F, substitutes this count value for the algebra Y, and stores it in the RAM 293. At the same time, the CPU 291 reads the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H, substitutes this count value for the algebra H, and stores it in the RAM 293. At the same time, the CPU 291 reads the count value of the lost symbol selection counter 293I, assigns this count value to the algebra I, and stores it in the RAM 293. At the same time, the CPU 291 reads the count value of the reach lose symbol selection counter 293J, substitutes this count value for the algebra F, and stores it in the RAM 293.

Next, the sub-process of the jackpot determination process (S2) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 18, first, in S 21, the CPU 291 receives a pachinko ball winning of the starting port 57, that is, a pachinko ball detection signal from the starting port switch 57 A is received via the input / output circuit (I / O) 294. A determination process for determining whether or not an input has been made is executed.
When the pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57A is not input via the input / output circuit 294 (S21: NO), the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when the pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57A is input via the input / output circuit 294 (S21: YES), in S22, the CPU 291 reads the fluctuation processing flag from the RAM 293, and A determination process for determining whether or not the fluctuating process flag is ON, that is, whether it is “1” is executed. When the pachinko machine 1 is started up or reset, “0” is assigned to the variation processing flag and stored in the RAM 293.
If the variable processing flag read from the RAM 293 in S22 is ON, that is, “1” (S22: YES), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.

On the other hand, when the variation processing flag read from the RAM 293 in S22 is OFF, that is, “0” (S22: NO), in S23, the CPU 291 executes a jackpot value acquisition process.
In this jackpot value acquisition process, first, the CPU 291 reads a probability variation flag ("0" is substituted for the probability variation flag when the power is turned on) stored in the RAM 293. If the probability variation flag read from the RAM 293 is ON, that is, “1”, it is determined that the probability variation mode is selected, and the “probability large hit value” (in the case of the first embodiment) stored in the ROM 292 in advance. Are “1”, “3”, “5”, and “7”), and this “probability variation jackpot value” is stored as “jackpot value” in the parameter storage area 293K. On the other hand, when the probability variation flag read from the RAM 293 is OFF, that is, “0”, it is determined that the normal mode is set, and the “normal jackpot value” stored in the ROM 292 in advance (in the case of the first embodiment). Is “7”), and this “ordinary jackpot value” is stored in the parameter storage area 293K as a “jackpot value”.

Subsequently, in S24, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not it is a “big hit”.
In the determination process of whether or not this is a “big hit”, first, the algebra V as the “big hit count value” is read from the parameter storage area 293K. Then, it is determined whether or not this algebra V matches any of the “big hit values” stored in the parameter storage area 293K. If they match, the jackpot algebra Q is stored in the parameter storage area 293K by substituting “1” into the jackpot algebra Q (when the power is turned on, “0” is substituted for the jackpot algebra Q). Then, “0” is substituted into the jackpot algebra Q and stored in the parameter storage area 293K.
Therefore, in the normal mode gaming state, the lottery probability of “big hit” is 1/360. In the case of the gaming state in the probability variation mode, the lottery probability of “big hit” is 4/360. As a result, in the probability variation mode, the probability of being a “hit” is about four times that in the normal mode gaming state.

Then, the jackpot algebra Q is read again from the parameter storage area 293K, and it is determined whether the jackpot algebra Q is “0” or “1”. That is, it is determined whether or not “big hit” has occurred.
When the jackpot algebra Q is “1”, it is determined that a “jackpot” has occurred (S24: YES), and in S25, the CPU 291 reads the jackpot flag from the RAM 293 and turns on the jackpot flag. That is, “1” is substituted into the jackpot flag and stored in the RAM 293 again. At the time of starting or resetting the pachinko machine 1, the jackpot flag is set to OFF, that is, “0” is substituted for the jackpot flag and stored in the RAM 293.
In S26, the CPU 291 reads the algebra Y as the jackpot special symbol selection count value from the parameter storage area 293K, and the “big jackpot symbol” (for example, “one by one”) corresponding to the algebra Y stored in the ROM 292. , “22 2”, “33 3 3”), and is stored in the RAM 293 as symbol data of the final stop symbol of the jackpot notification, and then the sub-processing is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

On the other hand, when the jackpot algebra Q read from the parameter storage area 293K again in S24 is “0”, it is determined that “losing” has occurred (S24: NO), and in S27, the CPU 291 reads from the RAM 293. The jackpot flag is read and the jackpot flag is turned off, that is, “0” is substituted into the jackpot flag and stored in the RAM 293 again.
Then, in S28, the CPU 291 displays that the change symbol at this time is a reach state in which two symbols out of the three symbols of the change symbol are aligned (for example, “1 ↓ 1”, “2 ↓ 2”, etc. It is determined whether or not a reach loss (for example, “13-1” or “211-2”) is displayed after “↓” means that the symbol is rotating).
This determination is made by reading the algebra H as the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H stored in the parameter storage area 293K, and when the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H is “90 to 99”, after the reach state It is determined that the loss is displayed (S28: YES), and in S29, the CPU 291 selects a reach loss symbol (for example, “13-1”, “212”, etc.). The selection of the reach lose symbol is performed by reading the algebra F as the count value of the reach lose symbol selection counter 293J from the parameter storage area 293K, reading the reach lose symbol corresponding to this count value from the ROM 292, and as the symbol data of the final stop symbol of the reach lose notification. After storing in the RAM 293, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

  On the other hand, in S28, the algebra H as the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H stored in the parameter storage area 293K is read, and when the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H is “0 to 89”, complete loss Is displayed (S28: NO), and in S30, the CPU 291 selects a complete losing symbol (for example, “123”, “112”, etc.). The selection of the complete loss symbol is performed by reading the algebra I as the count value of the loss symbol selection counter 293I from the parameter storage area 293K, reading the complete loss symbol corresponding to the count value from the ROM 292, and displaying the final stop symbol of the complete loss notification. After storing in the RAM 293 as symbol data, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

Next, the sub-process of the variation pattern selection process (S3) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 19, first, in S31, the CPU 291 reads a variation processing flag from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the variation processing flag is ON, that is, “1”. . When the pachinko machine 1 is started up or reset, “0” is assigned to the variation processing flag and stored in the RAM 293.
If the variable processing flag read from the RAM 293 in S31 is ON, that is, “1” (S31: YES), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.

  On the other hand, when the variable processing flag read from the RAM 293 in S31 is OFF, that is, “0” (S31: NO), in S32, the CPU 291 reads the jackpot algebra Q from the parameter storage area 293K, It is determined whether the jackpot algebra Q is “0” or “1”, that is, whether or not “big jackpot” has occurred, and when it is determined that a jackpot has occurred, that is, when the jackpot algebra Q is “1” (S32: YES), the process proceeds to S33.

Subsequently, in S33, the CPU 291 reads the algebra H as the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H from the parameter storage area 293K, and sub-integrated control board from the big hit variation pattern group of the variation pattern determination table 73 based on the count value. After selecting a variation pattern command to be output as instruction information to the CPU 281 of 280 and storing it in the RAM 293, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.
For example, when the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H read from the parameter storage area 293K is any one of “0 to 39”, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern command 21 and selects the sub integrated control board. The instruction information output to the CPU 281 of the H.280 is stored in the RAM 293.
When the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H read from the parameter storage area 293K is any one of “40 to 99”, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern command 22 and selects the sub integrated control board. The instruction information output to the CPU 281 of the H.280 is stored in the RAM 293.

On the other hand, if the CPU 291 determines in S32 that no jackpot has occurred, that is, if the jackpot algebra Q is “0” (S32: NO), the process proceeds to S34.
In S34, the CPU 291 reads the algebra H as the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H from the parameter storage area 293K, and based on each count value, the complete loss variation pattern group and the reach loss variation pattern group of the variation pattern determination table 73. Then, the variation pattern command to be output as instruction information to the CPU 281 of the sub integrated control board 280 is selected and stored in the RAM 293, and then the sub process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

For example, when the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H read from the parameter storage area 293K is any one of “0 to 89”, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern command 1 and selects the sub integrated control board. The instruction information output to the CPU 281 of the H.280 is stored in the RAM 293.
Further, when the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H read from the parameter storage area 293K is any one of “90 to 95”, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern command 11 and selects the sub integrated control board. The instruction information output to the CPU 281 of 280 is stored in the RAM 293.
When the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H read from the parameter storage area 293K is any one of “96 to 99”, the CPU 291 selects the variation pattern command 12 and selects the sub integrated control board. The instruction information output to the CPU 281 of 280 is stored in the RAM 293.

Next, the sub-process of the command transmission process (S4) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 20, first, in S41, the CPU 291 reads a variation processing flag from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the variation processing flag is ON, that is, “1”. .
If the variable processing flag read from the RAM 293 in S41 is ON, that is, “1” (S41: YES), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.

On the other hand, when the variation processing flag read from the RAM 293 in S41 is OFF, that is, “0” (S41: NO), in S42, the CPU 291 sends the instruction information from the RAM 293 to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. Are read out and the symbol data of the final stop symbol are read out, and the symbol of the variation pattern and the symbol data of the final stop symbol are output to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280.
Subsequently, in S <b> 43, the CPU 291 starts measuring the effect display time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern command output to the CPU 281, that is, the fluctuation time of the three rows of identification symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52.
In S44, the CPU 291 reads the variation processing flag from the RAM 293, turns on the variation processing flag, that is, substitutes “1” for the variation processing flag and stores it again in the RAM 293. End the sub-process and return to the main flowchart.

Next, the sub-process of the confirmation signal transmission process (S5) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 21, first, in S51, the CPU 291 reads a variation processing flag from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the variation processing flag is ON, that is, “1”. .
If the variable processing flag read from the RAM 293 in S51 is OFF, that is, “0” (S51: NO), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.

On the other hand, when the variation processing flag read from the RAM 293 in S51 is ON, that is, when it is “1” (S51: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S52.
Subsequently, in S52, the CPU 291 reads an effect time corresponding to the variation pattern command output as instruction information from the ROM 292 to the CPU 281, and whether or not the measurement time when the measurement is started in the process of S43 is equal to or longer than this effect time. That is, a determination process for determining whether or not the three columns of identification symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 are stopped and displayed is executed.
For example, when the variation pattern command 1 is output as instruction information to the CPU 281, the CPU 291 determines whether or not the measurement time at which measurement is started in the process of S 43 has been 5 seconds or longer. When the fluctuation pattern command 11 is output as instruction information to the CPU 281, the CPU 291 determines whether or not the measurement time when measurement is started in the process of S 43 has been 20 seconds or longer. When the variation pattern command 12 is output as instruction information to the CPU 281, the CPU 291 determines whether or not the measurement time for which the measurement is started in the process of S 43 has been 30 seconds or longer. When the variation pattern command 21 is output as instruction information to the CPU 281, the CPU 291 determines whether or not the measurement time at which measurement is started in the process of S 43 has been 22 seconds or longer. When the variation pattern command 22 is output as instruction information to the CPU 281, the CPU 291 determines whether or not the measurement time at which measurement is started in the process of S 43 has been 32 seconds or longer.

If the measurement time started in the process of S43 is not equal to or longer than the effect time read from the ROM 292 (S52: NO), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when the measurement time started in the process of S43 is equal to or longer than the effect time read from the ROM 292 (S52: YES), the CPU 291 stops the liquid crystal display 52 with respect to the CPU 281 in S53. A confirmation signal instructing to confirm and display each displayed identification symbol is output.
In S54, the CPU 291 reads the variation processing flag from the RAM 293, turns off the variation processing flag, that is, substitutes “0” for the variation processing flag and stores it again in the RAM 293. The process ends and the process returns to the main flowchart.

Next, the sub-process of the jackpot game process (S6) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 22, first, in S61, the CPU 291 reads a jackpot flag from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the jackpot flag is ON, that is, “1”. If the jackpot flag read from the RAM 293 is OFF (S61: NO), the CPU 291 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when the big hit flag read from the RAM 293 is ON (S61: YES), in S62, the CPU 291 opens the open / close door 59 upward through the open / close door solenoid 59A to open the big winning opening 60.
In S <b> 63, the CPU 291 reads the algebra R indicating the number of continuous opening of the big prize opening 60 from the RAM 293, adds “1” to the algebra R, and stores it again in the RAM 293. When the pachinko machine 1 is started up or reset, “0” is substituted for the algebra R representing the number of times the special winning opening 60 is continuously opened and stored in the RAM 293.

Subsequently, in S64, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not a winning is made to the V port, that is, whether or not a winning detection signal is input from the V switch 60B via the input / output circuit 294.
When a winning detection signal is input from the V switch 60B via the input / output circuit 294 (S64: YES), in S65, the CPU 291 reads the V flag from the RAM 293 and turns this V flag on. That is, “1” is substituted into the V flag and stored in the RAM 293 again. When the pachinko machine 1 is started or reset, the V flag is set to OFF, that is, “0” is substituted for the V flag and stored in the RAM 293.
Thereafter, in S66, the CPU 291 reads an algebra V1 representing the total number of winning prizes from the RAM 293 to the big prize opening 60, adds “1” to the algebra V1, stores it in the RAM 293 again, and then proceeds to the processing of S68. . When the pachinko machine 1 is started up or reset, “0” is substituted into the algebra V1 representing the total number of winning prizes to the big winning opening 60 and stored in the RAM 293.

On the other hand, when the winning detection signal is not input from the V switch 60B via the input / output circuit 294 in S64 (S64: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S67. In S67, the CPU 291 executes determination processing for determining whether or not a prize winning port 60 has been won, that is, whether or not a prize winning detection signal has been input from the prize winning port switch 60A via the input / output circuit 294.
When a winning detection signal is input from the big winning opening switch 60A via the input / output circuit 294 (S67: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S68 after executing the process of S66.
On the other hand, when the winning detection signal is not input from the large winning opening switch 60A via the input / output circuit 294 (S67: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S68.

Subsequently, in S68, the CPU 291 reads an algebra V1 representing the total number of winning prizes to the big winning opening 60 from the RAM 293, and whether or not the algebra V1 is less than 10, that is, the winning quantity to the big winning opening 60 is determined. A determination process for determining whether the total number is 9 or less is executed. The upper limit number of winning prizes to the big prize opening 60 when the big prize opening 60 is opened is preset to ten.
If the algebra V1 read from the RAM 293 is less than 10 (S68: NO), in S69, the CPU 291 determines whether or not 29.5 seconds or more have elapsed since the big prize opening 60 was opened. Execute the judgment process. Then, when 29.5 seconds or more have not elapsed since the special winning opening 60 was opened (S69: NO), the CPU 291 executes the processing after S64 again.
On the other hand, when 29.5 seconds or more have elapsed after the special winning opening 60 is opened (S69: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S70.
On the other hand, when the algebra V1 read from the RAM 293 in S69 is 10 or more (S68: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S70.

Subsequently, in S70, the CPU 291 closes the open / close door 59 via the open / close door solenoid 59A and closes the special winning opening 60.
In S71, the CPU 291 reads an algebra V1 representing the total number of winning prizes from the RAM 293 to the big prize opening 60, substitutes “0” for the algebra V1, and stores it in the RAM 293 again.
Thereafter, in S72, the CPU 291 reads out the V flag from the RAM 293, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the V flag is ON, that is, whether or not the V opening is won while the big winning opening 60 is opened. When the V flag read from the RAM 293 is ON, that is, when the V flag is “1” (S72: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S73.
In S73, the CPU 291 reads from the RAM 293 an algebra R representing the number of consecutive opening of the big prize opening 60, and whether or not the algebra R is larger than “14”, that is, the big prize opening 60 is continuously opened 15 times. Determination processing for determining whether or not has been performed is executed. When the algebra R read from the RAM 293 is “14” or less (S73: NO), the CPU 291 executes the processing from S61 again.
On the other hand, when the algebra R read from the RAM 293 is larger than “14” (S73: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S74.
On the other hand, when the V flag read from the RAM 293 in S72 is OFF, that is, when the V flag is “0” (S72: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S74.

In S74, the CPU 291 reads the V flag from the RAM 293 and turns off the V flag, that is, substitutes “0” for the V flag and stores it again in the RAM 293.

Further, in S76, the CPU 291 reads the jackpot flag from the RAM 293, turns off the jackpot flag, that is, substitutes “0” for the jackpot flag, stores it in the RAM 293 again, terminates the sub-processing, and performs main processing. Return to the flowchart.

  Next, the control processing executed when the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 receives each command such as “fluctuation pattern command” representing the fluctuation pattern as instruction information from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 will be described. Here, the interrupt control process in FIG. 23 operates at regular intervals (for example, every 4 msec) after the power is turned on. 23 and 24 are stored in the ROM 282 and RAM 283 provided in the sub-integrated control board 280 and executed by the CPU 281.

As shown in FIG. 23, first, in S201, the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 receives instruction information such as “variation pattern command”, “final stop symbol instruction”, “confirmation signal” from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290. A determination process for determining whether or not an input has been made is executed.
When instruction information such as “variation pattern command”, “final stop symbol instruction”, “confirmation signal”, or the like is input from the CPU 291 (S201: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S202.
In S <b> 202, the CPU 281 stores instruction information such as “variation pattern command”, “final stop symbol instruction”, and “confirmation signal” input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 in the RAM 283. In addition, the CPU 281 reads the count value of the effect pattern selection counter 283A when the variation pattern command is input from the CPU 291 and stores the count value in the RAM 283.
Subsequently, in S203, the CPU 281 reads the instruction information from the RAM 283 again, and executes a determination process for determining whether the instruction information is a “confirmation signal”.

If the instruction information is a “confirmation signal” (S203: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S204. In S204, the CPU 291 outputs (instructs) the “confirmation signal” as display instruction information to the CPU 261, and ends the process.
On the other hand, if the instruction information is not a “confirmation signal” (S203: NO), in S205, the CPU 281 reads the count value of the effect pattern selection counter 283A stored in the RAM 283 in S202 from the RAM 283 again, and this count value. Is substituted into the effect pattern algebra E and stored in the parameter storage area 283C.

In S206, the CPU 281 reads out the “variation pattern command” and “final stop symbol instruction” as the instruction information from the RAM 283, and also reads the effect pattern algebra E from the parameter storage area 283C. When the “variation pattern command” is “1”, the “effect pattern command” of the corresponding effect pattern is read with the effect pattern algebra E as the “effect pattern count value” in the first effect pattern selection table 74, It is stored in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command of display instruction information to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260.
When the “variation pattern command” is any one of “11”, “12”, “21”, and “22”, this effect pattern algebra E is used as the first effect pattern selection table 74 or the second effect. As the “effect pattern count value” of the pattern selection table 75 (see FIGS. 11 and 12), the “effect pattern command” corresponding to the reach symbol of “final stop symbol instruction” is read and output to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260. The instruction is stored in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command of display instruction information. Further, a “reach symbol” corresponding to the corresponding “effect pattern command” is read from the first effect pattern selection table 74 or the second effect pattern selection table 75 and output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260. The instruction information is stored in the RAM 283 as “instruction reach design”.

  For example, the “fluctuation pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “1”, the “final stop symbol instruction” is “123” for notifying complete loss, and the effect pattern algebra E read from the parameter storage area 283C is “ In any case of “0 to 13”, the CPU 281 stores “1A” in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260.

  Further, the “variation pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “11”, the reach symbol of “final stop symbol information” is the first identification symbol 81 having the male character symbol 81A and the numerical symbol 81B of “one”, and the parameter When the effect pattern algebra E read from the storage area 283C is “0 to 13”, the CPU 281 stores “11A” in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260. In addition, the CPU 281 stores “a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81 </ b> A and a numerical symbol 81 </ b> B” as “instruction reach symbol” to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 in the RAM 283. .

  Further, the “variation pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “12”, the reach symbol of “final stop symbol information” is the first identification symbol 81 having the male character symbol 81A and the numerical symbol 81B of “one”, and the parameter When the effect pattern algebra E read from the storage area 283C is “7 to 13”, the CPU 281 stores “12B” in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260. In addition, the CPU 281 outputs (instructs) the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 as “instruction reach symbols” “a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81A and a“ one ”number symbol 81B” and a “child character symbol”. 83A and the third identification symbol 83 having the numeric symbol “one” 83B are stored in the RAM 283.

  The “variation pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “21”, the reach symbol of “final stop symbol information” is the second identification symbol 82 having the female character symbol 82A and the numerical symbol 82B of “two”, and the parameter When the effect pattern algebra E read from the storage area 283C is “0 to 13”, the CPU 281 stores “21B” in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260. Further, CPU 281 stores “female character symbol 82 </ b> A and“ second identification symbol 82 having numerical symbol 82 </ b> B ”” as “instruction reach symbol” to be output (instructed) to CPU 261 of effect display board 260 in RAM 283. .

  The “variation pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “22”, the reach symbol of “final stop symbol information” is the second identification symbol 82 having the female character symbol 82A and the numerical symbol 82B of “two”, and the parameter When the effect pattern algebra E read from the storage area 283C is “7 to 13”, the CPU 281 stores “22D” in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260. In addition, the CPU 281 outputs (instructs) the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 as “instruction reach symbols” “second character design 82 having the female character symbol 82A and“ two ”number symbol 82B” and “child character symbol”. 83A and “third identification symbol 83” having “three” numeric symbol 83B are stored in RAM 283.

Thereafter, in S207, the CPU 281 reads out the “effect pattern command”, “final stop symbol information”, and “instruction reach symbol” from the RAM 283, and outputs (instructs) them to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260.
For example, when “1A” is read as the “effect pattern command” from the RAM 283, the CPU 281 outputs the effect pattern command “1A” and “final stop symbol information” to the CPU 261 as display instruction information.
Further, when “11B” is read out from the RAM 283 as the “effect pattern command”, the effect pattern command “11B”, “final stop symbol information”, and “instruction reach symbol” “second identification symbol 82” are displayed. It outputs to CPU261 as instruction information.

  Subsequently, in S208, the CPU 281 reads again from the RAM 283 whether or not the effect pattern command output to the CPU 261 is a complete loss effect display pattern, that is, the “effect pattern command” output to the CPU 261. Is executed to determine whether or not “1A” is “1A”. When the “effect pattern command” output to the CPU 261 is “1A” (S208: YES), the CPU 281 ends the sub-process.

On the other hand, when the “effect pattern command” output to the CPU 261 is not “1A” (S208: NO), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S209.
In S209, the CPU 281 reads out the “line flag” from the RAM 283, assigns “1” to the “line flag”, and stores it again in the RAM 283, that is, sets the “line flag” to ON. When the pachinko machine 1 is started and reset, “0” is assigned to the “line flag” and stored in the RAM 283. That is, the “serif flag” is set to OFF.

In S <b> 210, the CPU 281 starts measuring the reach display time corresponding to the effect pattern command output to the CPU 261, that is, the time when the three columns of identification symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 are in the reach state.
For example, when the production pattern commands output to the CPU 261 are “11A” to “11C” and “21A” to “21C”, the CPU 281 starts the variable display of the identification symbols in the third column and starts the third column. The time T1 seconds until the second symbol stops is read from the ROM 282, and time measurement is started until the time T1 seconds.
In addition, when the production pattern commands output to the CPU 261 are “12A” to “12F”, “22A” to “22F”, the CPU 281 starts the first column after the variable display of the three columns of identification symbols is started. The time T2 seconds until the second symbol in the first column and the second symbol in the third column stop in a state where the reach symbols intersect in two upper and lower stages are read from the ROM 282, and time measurement is started until the time T2 seconds.

  Subsequently, in S211, the CPU 281 executes a sub-process (see FIG. 24) of “line output process” described later, and then ends the process.

On the other hand, if instruction information such as “variation pattern command”, “final stop symbol instruction”, “confirmation signal” or the like is not input from the CPU 291 in S201 (S201: NO), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S212. .
In S <b> 212, the CPU 281 reads a “line flag” from the RAM 283 and executes a determination process for determining whether the “line flag” is ON, that is, “1”. Then, when the “line flag” read from the RAM 283 is “1” (S212: YES), the CPU 281 executes the processing after S211.
On the other hand, when the “line flag” read from the RAM 283 is “0” (S212: NO), the CPU 281 ends the process.

Next, the sub-process of the “line output process” in S211 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 24, in S221, the CPU 281 reads the instruction information instructed from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 again from the RAM 283, and the “variation pattern command” of the instruction information is “11” and “21”. The determination process which determines whether it is any of these is performed.

When the “variation pattern command” of the instruction information read from the RAM 283 is either “11” or “21” (S221: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S222. In S222, the CPU 281 reads from the ROM 282 the time T1 seconds from the start of the variation display of the identification symbols in the third column to the stop of the second symbol in the third column, and starts the measurement in the process of S210. A determination process is performed to determine whether or not the time T1 seconds, which is a timing for voice notification that the time has reached the reach state, has elapsed.
If the time T1 seconds, which is the timing for voice notification of reaching the reach state, has not elapsed (S222: NO), the CPU 281 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when the time T1 seconds, which is the timing for voice notification of reaching the reach state, has elapsed (S222: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S224.

  On the other hand, when the “variation pattern command” of the instruction information read from the RAM 283 in S221 is neither “11” nor “21”, that is, the “variation pattern command” of the instruction information read from the RAM 283 is “12”. "Or" 22 "(S221: NO), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S223.

In step S223, the CPU 281 stops displaying the first symbol in the first column and the second symbol in the third column in the upper and lower two stages and the reach symbol intersects after the display of the variation of the identification symbol in the third column is started. Time T2 seconds until reading is read out from the ROM 282, and it is determined whether or not the time T2 seconds, which is a timing for voice notification that the measurement time started in the processing of S210 has reached the reach state, has passed. Execute judgment processing.
If the time T2 seconds, which is the timing for voice notification of reaching the reach state, has not elapsed (S223: NO), the CPU 281 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when the time T2 seconds, which is the timing for voice notification of reaching the reach state, has elapsed (S223: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S224.

Subsequently, in S224, the CPU 281 reads the “effect pattern command” output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 from the RAM 283 again, and reaches the “line” of the reach notification corresponding to the “effect pattern command” and the “effect” command. “Serial voice” for notifying the speech is selected from the first effect pattern selection table 74 or the second effect pattern selection table 75, and is output to the drive circuit 71 to be notified by voice through the speaker 7.
For example, when the “effect pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “11A”, the CPU 281 reads “reach” as the “line” of the reach notification from the first effect pattern selection table 74, "Men's voice" is read out, and these data are output to the drive circuit 71, and "is a man's voice and" reach "" is notified through the speaker 7. If the “effect pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “12B”, the CPU 281 reads “double reach” from the first effect pattern selection table 74 as “reach” for reach notification, and “speech voice”. Then, “male and child's voice” is read out, and these data are output to the drive circuit 71, and “double reach” is simultaneously notified through the speaker 7 with “male voice and child's voice”. When the “effect pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “21C”, the CPU 281 reads “reach” from the second effect pattern selection table 75 as “reach” of reach notification, "Children's voice" is read out, and these data are output to the drive circuit 71, and the "sound of children is reached" is notified via the speaker 7. When the “effect pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “22D”, the CPU 281 reads “double reach” from the second effect pattern selection table 75 as “reel” for reach notification, and “voice of speech” "Voice of a woman and a child" is read out, and these data are output to the drive circuit 71, and "Double reach" is simultaneously notified to the voice of a woman and a child through the speaker 7.

  In S225, the CPU 281 reads out the “line flag” from the RAM 283, assigns “0” to the “line flag”, stores it again in the RAM 283, that is, sets the “line flag” to OFF, and then End the sub-process and return to the main flowchart.

Next, control processing executed when the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 configured as described above receives effect display instruction information from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 to 29. To do.
As shown in FIG. 25, in S301, when the display instruction information is input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280, the CPU 261 displays “effect pattern command” and “final stop symbol information” constituting the display instruction information. The “instruction reach design” is stored in the RAM 263.
In step S <b> 302, the CPU 261 reads out the effect pattern command from the RAM 263, and executes a determination process for determining whether the effect pattern command is a complete loss effect pattern command. That is, the CPU 261 executes determination processing for determining whether or not the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is “1A”. If the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is “1A” (S302: YES), in S303, the CPU 261 executes the sub-process of “completely dismissed display process”, and then proceeds to the process of S304.
On the other hand, when the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is not “1A” (S302: NO), the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S304.

Subsequently, in S304, the CPU 261 reads the effect pattern command again from the RAM 263, and executes a determination process for determining whether the effect pattern command is a reach-losing effect pattern. That is, the CPU 261 executes determination processing for determining whether or not the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is any one of “11A to 11C, 12A to 12F”. If the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is any one of “11A to 11C, 12A to 12F” (S304: YES), in S305, the CPU 261 performs a sub-process of “los reach display process”. Is executed, the process proceeds to S306.
On the other hand, when the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is not any of “11A to 11C, 12A to 12F” (S304: NO), the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S306.

In S <b> 306, the CPU 261 again reads out the effect pattern command from the RAM 263, and executes determination processing for determining whether the effect pattern command is a winning effect pattern. That is, the CPU 261 executes determination processing for determining whether or not the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is any one of “21A to 21C, 22A to 22F”. If the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is any one of “21A to 21C, 22A to 22F” (S306: YES), in S307, the CPU 261 performs a sub-process of “winning display process”. After execution, the process is terminated.
On the other hand, when the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is not any of “21A to 21C, 22A to 22F” (S306: NO), the CPU 261 ends the process without executing the sub process of S307. To do.

Next, sub-processing of “completely losing display processing” (S303) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 26, in S 311, the CPU 261 reads the effect pattern command from the RAM 263 again and stores the effect pattern command in the effect display pattern table storage area 262 A of the ROM 262. As the “effect pattern command”, the “effect display pattern” corresponding to the “effect pattern command” in the first effect display pattern table 76 is read out and stored in the RAM 263.
Therefore, the CPU 261 stores, in the RAM 263, complete loss of moving image data for about 5 seconds as an “effect display pattern” corresponding to the “effect pattern command 1A” in the first effect display pattern table 76.
In step S312, the CPU 261 starts the variable display of each of the first, second, and third symbols in three columns that change in the vertical direction on the left, right, and center on the liquid crystal display 52.
Subsequently, in S313, the CPU 261 starts the first predetermined time (for example, about 1.5 seconds) stored in advance in the ROM 262 after starting the variable display of the first, second, and third symbols. In this case, the symbol data of the last stop symbol constituting the display instruction information is read from the RAM 263, and the first symbol of the symbol data is stopped and displayed as the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52. Further, the CPU 261 continues the variable display of the second and third symbols.
For example, when the symbol data of the final stop symbol constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “123”, the CPU 261 displays the number symbol “1” as the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52. The first identification symbol 81 having 81B is stopped and displayed.

In S314, the CPU 261 starts the variable display of the first, second, and third symbols, and then a second predetermined time (for example, about 3.5 seconds) stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed. In this case, the symbol data of the final stop symbol constituting the display instruction information is read from the RAM 263, and the third symbol of the symbol data is stopped and displayed as the second symbol in the right column of the liquid crystal display 52. Further, the CPU 261 stops and displays the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52, and continues the variable display of the third symbol in the center.
For example, when the symbol data constituting the production instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “123”, the CPU 261 has the number symbol 83B of “three” as the second symbol in the right column of the liquid crystal display 52. 3 The identification symbol 83 is stopped and displayed.
In S315, the CPU 261 starts when the third predetermined time (for example, about 5 seconds) stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed since the start of the variable display of the first, second, and third symbols. Reads out the symbol data of the last stop symbol constituting the display instruction information from the RAM 263, and stops and displays the second symbol of the symbol data as the third symbol in the center of the liquid crystal display 52. As a result, the first, second, and third symbols are stopped and displayed as completely lost symbols.
For example, when the symbol data constituting the production instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “123”, the CPU 261 has the second symbol “B” as the third symbol at the center of the liquid crystal display 52. 2 The identification symbol 82 is stopped and displayed.

In step S <b> 316, the CPU 261 executes a determination process for determining whether a confirmation signal is input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. The CPU 291 stores the display time “about 5 seconds” of the fluctuation pattern “1” output to the CPU 281 in the ROM 292 in advance, and when the display time “about 5 seconds” has elapsed, the CPU 281 sends a confirmation signal to the CPU 281. Is output. Further, when this confirmation signal is input from the CPU 291, the CPU 281 provides a confirmation signal for instructing the CPU 261 to stop the confirmation of the first, second, and third symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52. Output.
If no confirmation signal is input from the CPU 281 (S316: NO), the CPU 261 continues to display the moving image in S317. On the other hand, when a confirmation signal is input from the CPU 281 (S316: YES), a confirmation stop display of each of the first, second, and third symbols for notifying the loss displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 in S318 is displayed. Then, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

Next, the sub-process of the “los reach display process” in S305 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 27, in S321, the CPU 261 reads the effect pattern command from the RAM 263 again, and stores the effect pattern command in the effect display pattern table storage area 262A of the ROM 262 (FIG. 27). 13), the “effect display pattern” corresponding to the “effect pattern command” in the first effect display pattern table 76 is read out and stored in the RAM 263.

For example, when the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is “11A”, the CPU 261 sets the reach data as “effect display pattern” in the first effect display pattern table 76 for about 20 seconds. Stop → 2nd symbol stop (“Richichi” by male voice) → reach A production → 3rd symbol stop → reach lose display (20 seconds) ”is stored in RAM 263.
Further, when the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is “12B”, the CPU 261 sets the reach data as “effect display pattern” in the first effect display pattern table 76 for about 30 seconds “change start → first design”. Stop → 2nd symbol stop → Re-variation → 1st 2nd symbol each stop in 2 steps (“double reach” with male and child voice) → Reach B effect → 3rd symbol stop (female character symbol) → Reach loss display (30 Second) "is stored in the RAM 263.

In S322, based on the moving image data of the “effect display pattern” stored in the RAM 263, the CPU 261 causes the liquid crystal display 52 to display each of the first and second columns in the three columns that vary in the vertical direction on the left side, the right side, and the center.・ Start the variable display of the 3rd symbol.
Subsequently, in S323, the CPU 261 reads the effect pattern command again from the RAM 263, and determines whether or not the effect pattern command is “12A to 12F”, that is, whether or not the effect display is a double reach. The determination process to be executed is executed.
If the effect display command is not a double reach display, that is, if the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is any one of “11A to 11C” (S323: NO), the CPU 261 performs the process of S324. Transition.

In S324, when the fourth predetermined time (for example, about 5 seconds) stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed since the CPU 261 started the variable display of the first, second, and third symbols, The “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information is read from the RAM 263, the identification symbol corresponding to the “instruction reach symbol” is read from the identification symbol storage area 262B, and is stopped and displayed as the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52. To do. Further, the CPU 261 continues the variable display of the second and third symbols.
For example, when the “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81A and a numerical symbol 81B of“ one ””, the CPU 261 determines “one”. Is read from the identification symbol storage area 262B, and is stopped and displayed as the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52.

Subsequently, in S325, when the CPU 261 starts the variable display of the first, second, and third symbols, a fifth predetermined time (for example, about 12 seconds) stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed. The “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information is read from the RAM 263, the identification symbol corresponding to the “instruction reach symbol” is read from the identification symbol storage area 262B, and the second symbol in the right column of the liquid crystal display 52 is read. Display as stop. Further, the CPU 261 stops and displays the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52, and continues the variable display of the third symbol in the center.
For example, when the “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81A and a numerical symbol 81B of“ one ””, the CPU 261 determines “one”. Is read from the identification symbol storage area 262B, and is stopped and displayed as the second symbol in the right column of the liquid crystal display 52.
When the normal reach state is reached, the speech reach notification sound corresponding to the reach symbol is reproduced through the speaker 7 by the process of S224. For example, when the reach symbol is “a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81A and a numerical symbol 81B of“ one ””, “Reachie” is reproduced via the speaker 7 in a male voice. (S224).

  In S326, the CPU 261 executes the subprocess of “reach A display process”, and then proceeds to the process of S327.

Subsequently, in S327, the CPU 261 reads the symbol data of the final stop symbol constituting the display instruction information from the RAM 263, and reads the identification symbol corresponding to the second symbol data of the final stop symbol from the identification symbol storage area 262B. The display is stopped and displayed as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52 and reach loss is notified, and then the process proceeds to S329.
For example, when the final stop symbol constituting the production instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “one two-one”, the CPU 261 displays the second identification symbol composed of the numerical symbol 82B of “two” and the female character symbol 82A. 82 is read out from the identification symbol storage area 262B and stopped as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52. Therefore, in this case, “first identification symbol 81, second identification symbol 82, first identification symbol 81” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 52.

  On the other hand, in the case of the double reach effect display in S323, that is, if the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is any one of “12A to 12F” (S323: YES), in S328, the CPU 261 will be described later. After executing the “double reach display process 1” sub-process (see FIG. 28), the process proceeds to S329.

Subsequently, in S329, the CPU 261 executes a determination process for determining whether or not a confirmation signal is input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. The CPU 291 stores the display times “about 20 seconds” and “about 30 seconds” of the variation patterns “11” and “12” output to the CPU 281 in the ROM 292 in advance, and the display times “about 20”. When “second” and “about 30 seconds” have elapsed, a confirmation signal is output to the CPU 281. Further, when this confirmation signal is input from the CPU 291, the CPU 281 provides a confirmation signal for instructing the CPU 261 to stop the confirmation of the first, second, and third symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52. Output.
If no confirmation signal is input from the CPU 281 (S329: NO), the CPU 261 continues to display the moving image in S330. On the other hand, when a confirmation signal is input from the CPU 281 (S329: YES), a confirmation stop display of each of the first, second, and third symbols for notifying reach loss displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 in S331 is displayed. Then, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

Next, the sub-process of the “double reach display process 1” in S328 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 28, in S341, the CPU 261 starts the variable display of each of the first, second, and third symbols in the three columns and then stores it in the ROM 262 in advance for a sixth predetermined time (for example, approximately 5 seconds). If “Yes” has elapsed, the “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information is read from the RAM 263, and the identification symbol corresponding to the first symbol data of the “instruction reach symbol” is identified in the identification symbol storage area 262B. Is stopped and displayed as the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52. Further, the CPU 261 continues the variable display of the second and third symbols.
For example, the “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81A and“ one ”number symbol 81B, a female character symbol 82A and a number“ two ”. In the case of “the second identification symbol 82 having the symbol 82B”, the CPU 261 reads the first identification symbol 81 composed of the male character symbol 81A and the “one” numeric symbol 81B from the identification symbol storage area 262B, The liquid crystal display 52 is stopped and displayed as the first symbol in the left column.

Subsequently, in S342, when the CPU 261 starts the variable display of the first, second, and third symbols, a fifth predetermined time (for example, about 12 seconds) stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed. The “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information is read from the RAM 263, the identification symbol corresponding to the second symbol data of the “instruction reach symbol” is read from the identification symbol storage area 262B, and the liquid crystal display 52 Is stopped and displayed as the second symbol in the right column. Further, the CPU 261 stops and displays the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52, and continues the variable display of the third symbol in the center.
For example, the “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81A and a“ one ”number symbol 81B, a female character symbol 82A and a number“ two ”. In the case of the “second identification symbol 82 having the symbol 82B”, the CPU 261 reads the second identification symbol 82 composed of the numerical symbol 82B of “two” and the female character symbol 82A from the identification symbol storage area 262B, The liquid crystal display 52 is stopped and displayed as the second symbol in the right column.

Thereafter, in S343, the CPU 261 starts again the variable display of the first, second and third symbols in the three columns.
Then, in S344, the CPU 261 starts the variable display of each of the first, second, and third symbols in the three columns again, and then the eighth predetermined time (for example, about 2 seconds) stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed. It waits to do (S344: NO).

On the other hand, when the eighth predetermined time (for example, about 2 seconds) stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed since the start of variable display of the first, second, and third symbols in the three columns in S344. (S344: YES), in S345, the CPU 261 reads the “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information from the RAM 263, and corresponds to the first and second symbol data of the “instruction reach symbol”. The identification symbol is read from the identification symbol storage area 262B. Then, the CPU 261 places the identification symbol corresponding to the first symbol data as the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52, and places the identification symbol corresponding to the second symbol data on the lower side. Is placed in a stop display, and the identification symbol corresponding to the second symbol data is arranged on the upper side as the second symbol in the right column, and the identification symbol corresponding to the first symbol data is on the lower side. Place and stop display. Thereby, it will be in the double reach state arrange | positioned at the left column and the right column so that each reach symbol may cross | intersect two steps up and down.
In addition, the CPU 261 continues the variable display of the third symbol.

For example, the “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81A and a“ one ”number symbol 81B, a female character symbol 82A and a number“ two ”. In the case of the second identification symbol 82 having the symbol 82B, the CPU 261 has a first identification symbol composed of a “male character symbol 81A and a“ one ”numeric symbol 81B on the upper left side of the liquid crystal display 52. 81 ”is arranged, and“ the second identification symbol 82 having the female character symbol 82A and the numerical symbol 82B of “two” ”is arranged below the left column and stopped. Further, the CPU 261 arranges the “second identification symbol 82 composed of the female character symbol 82A and the number symbol 82B of“ two ”” above the right column of the liquid crystal display 52, and displays “ The male character symbol 81A and the first identification symbol 81 having the number symbol 81B of “one” are arranged and stopped. Thereby, it will be in the double reach state arrange | positioned at the left column and the right column so that each reach symbol of the 1st identification symbol 81 and the 2nd identification symbol 82 may cross | intersect two steps up and down.
In this double reach state, the speech reach notification sound corresponding to each reach symbol is reproduced via the speaker 7 by the process of S224. For example, each reach symbol is “male character symbol 81A and“ first identification symbol 81 having “one” number symbol 81B ”” and “female character symbol 82A and“ second identification symbol 82 having “two” number symbol 82B ”. In such a case, “double reach” is reproduced through the speaker 7 with the voice of the man and the voice of the woman (S224).
In addition, the CPU 261 continues the variable display of the third symbol.

Subsequently, in S346, the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S347 after executing the “reach B display process” sub-process.
In S347, the CPU 261 reads out the “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information from the RAM 263, and each identification symbol corresponding to the first symbol data and the second symbol data of the “instruction reach symbol”. One of the other identification symbols is randomly read from the identification symbol storage area 262B, stopped and displayed as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52, the double reach loss is informed, the sub-processing is terminated, Returning to the sub-flowchart of “reach display process”, the process proceeds to S329.

  For example, the “instruction reach symbol” constituting the effect instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81A and a“ one ”number symbol 81B, a female character symbol 82A, and a“ two ”number. In the case of “the second identification symbol 82 having the symbol 82B”, the CPU 261 reads out the third identification symbol 83 composed of the child character symbol 83A and the “three” numeric symbol 83B from the identification symbol storage area 262B, The display is stopped as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52, and reach loss is notified. Accordingly, in this case, “first identification symbol 81, second identification symbol 82” in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52, “third identification symbol 83” in the middle column, “second identification symbol 82, in the right column,” The first identification symbol 81 "is displayed and a double reach loss is notified.

Next, the sub-process of the “winning display process” (S307) in S307 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 29, in S351, the CPU 261 reads the effect pattern command from the RAM 263 again, and the effect pattern command is stored in the effect display pattern table storage area 262A of the ROM 262 in the second effect display pattern table 77 (FIG. 14), the “effect display pattern” corresponding to the “effect pattern command” in the second effect display pattern table 77 is read out and stored in the RAM 263.

For example, when the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is “21A”, the CPU 261 uses the “effect display pattern” in the second effect display pattern table 77 as the “effect display pattern” for about 22 seconds of the reach reach moving image data “change start → first Symbol stop → 2nd symbol stop (“Richidi” by male voice) → Leach A effect → 3rd symbol stop → winning display (22 seconds) ”is stored in the RAM 263.
Further, when the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is “22B”, the CPU 261 uses the “effect display pattern” in the second effect display pattern table 77 as the “effect display pattern” for about 22 seconds of the reach reach movie data “change start → first Symbol stop → Second symbol stop → Re-variation → First and second symbols stop in two steps (“double reach” with male and child voice) → Reach B production → Third symbol stop (male character symbol) → Winning display ( 32 seconds) "is stored in the RAM 263.

In S352, the CPU 261 executes the process in S322.
Subsequently, in S353, the CPU 261 reads out the effect pattern command again from the RAM 263, and determines whether or not the effect pattern command is “22A to 22F”, that is, whether or not the effect display is a double reach. The determination process to be executed is executed.
If the effect display is not a double reach display, that is, if the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is any one of “21A to 21C” (S353: NO), the CPU 261 performs the process of S354. Transition.

  In S354 to S356, the CPU 261 executes the processes of S324 to S326. In S355, when the normal reach state is reached, the speech reach notification sound corresponding to the reach symbol is reproduced via the speaker 7 by the process of S224. For example, when the reach symbol is “a first identification symbol 81 having a male character symbol 81A and a numerical symbol 81B of“ one ””, “Reachie” is reproduced via the speaker 7 in a male voice. .

Thereafter, in S357, the CPU 261 reads the symbol data of the final stop symbol constituting the display instruction information from the RAM 263, and reads the identification symbol corresponding to the second symbol data of the final stop symbol from the identification symbol storage area 262B. After stopping and displaying as a third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52 and notifying the jackpot, the process proceeds to S359.
For example, when the final stop symbol constituting the production instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “1 1 1”, the CPU 261 has the first identification symbol composed of the “1” numeric symbol 81B and the male character symbol 81A. 81 is read from the identification symbol storage area 262B, and is stopped and displayed as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52. Accordingly, in this case, “first identification symbol 81, first identification symbol 81, first identification symbol 81” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 52.

On the other hand, in the case of the double reach effect display in S353, that is, if the effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is any one of “22A to 22F” (S353: YES), in S358, the CPU 261 will be described later.

A “double reach” line that informs the user of the situation is simultaneously notified. For this reason, even if the player is not gazing at the liquid crystal display 52, the voices differ depending on the character symbols 81A, 82A, 83A of the identification symbols 81, 82, 83 in the double reach state, but the same lines are used. Since it is informed that the double reach state has been established, it is possible to notify that the double reach state has been achieved by a plurality of voices, and also by notifying the same “double reach” line by a plurality of voices. Therefore, it is possible to surely perform reach notification control that can be surely heard by the player and can accurately notify that the double reach state has been established.
In the normal reach state, the lines corresponding to the character patterns 81A, 82A, 83A of the identification symbols 81, 82, 83 are notified, and in the double reach state, the “double” is different from the lines in the normal reach state. Since the “reach” line is notified, the player can accurately know whether the normal reach state or the double reach state depending on whether the line is in the normal reach state or the “double reach” line.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, Of course, various improvement and deformation | transformation are possible within the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the following may be used.

  (A) In the above embodiment, there are three types of identification symbols, the first identification symbol 81 to the third identification symbol, but may be four or more types. This makes it possible to perform more diverse reach expressions.

  (B) In the above embodiment, the voice corresponding to each character symbol 81A, 82A, 83A is notified that the normal reach state or the double reach state has been reached, but the voice of the character symbol different from the displayed character symbol. When it is informed that the normal reach state or the double reach state has been established, the probability of a big hit may be increased. Thereby, it becomes possible to increase the interest of the game.

  (C) In the process of S347, the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 reads the “instruction reach symbol” constituting the display instruction information from the RAM 263, and the first symbol data and the second symbol data of this “instruction reach symbol” One identification symbol other than each identification symbol corresponding to the symbol data is randomly selected from the identification symbol storage area 262B to determine the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52, but the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 However, in S206, one identification symbol other than each identification symbol corresponding to the first symbol data and the second symbol data of the “instruction reach symbol” is selected at random, and in S207, “final stop symbol” The CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 uses the selected identification symbol as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52 together with the “information” and “instruction reach symbol”. Outputs may be (instructs) as. As a result, the processing load on the CPU 261 of the effect display substrate 260 can be reduced.
