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 probability fluctuation mode (when probability variation is acquired) described later, the count values “1, 3, 5, 7” correspond to the big hit. The other count values are off. 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, the special symbols “1”, “2”, “3”, “3”, “3”, “3”, and “3” .., “7”, “8”, “9”, “10” are “111”, “222”, “333”,..., “777”, “888”, “ 999 ”and“ 10 10 10 ”are displayed after being confirmed and stopped, and then, as will be described later, the special winning opening 60 is given a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 5 times (5 rounds), 10 times (10 rounds). 15 times (15 rounds)) Opening is possible continuously until the total number of winning prizes reaches 10 within 29.5 seconds or 29.5 seconds each time. It is opened and a lot of prize balls are paid out to the player (in other words, it is in a state advantageous to the player) Ri game can be performed (see FIG. 23 etc.).

  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.

  The RAM 293 stores a numerical value obtained by repeatedly adding one by one from 0 to 9 based on the clock signal output from the clock circuit 295 (the maximum value 9 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 left, middle, and right three rows of fluctuation symbols fluctuate 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 count value “0” is a jackpot symbol “111”, the count value “1” is a jackpot symbol “222”, the count value “2” is a jackpot symbol “333”, the count value “3” is a jackpot symbol “444”, Count value “4” is jackpot symbol “555”, count value “5” is jackpot symbol “666”, count value “6” is jackpot symbol “777”, count value “7” is jackpot symbol “888”, count value “8” corresponds to the jackpot symbol “999”, and the count value “9” corresponds to the jackpot symbol “10 10 10”. 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. Further, the reach loss variation pattern is set to “20 seconds” (see FIG. 10).

As shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, first, in step (hereinafter referred to as S) 11, the CPU 291 reads out the count values of the counters 293A, 293B, and 293F to 293J provided in the RAM 293, and sets “1” for each. Add and update.
Subsequently, in S12, the CPU 291 determines whether or not a pachinko ball winning signal from the start port 57, that is, a pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57A is input via the input / output circuit (I / O) 294. The determination process to be executed is executed.
If the pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57A is not input via the input / output circuit 294 (S12: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S33 described later.
On the other hand, when the pachinko ball detection signal from the start port switch 57A is input via the input / output circuit 294 (S12: YES), in S13, the CPU 291 causes the big hit counter 293A, the first hold counter 293C, The count values of the reach counter 293E, the big bonus special symbol selection counter 293F, the variation pattern selection counter 293H, the loss symbol selection counter 293I, the reach loss symbol selection counter 293J, etc. are acquired and stored in the parameter storage area 293K.

  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.

Subsequently, in S14, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the normal gaming state is in the probability variation mode. Specifically, the CPU 291 reads a probability variation flag from the RAM 293 and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the probability variation flag is ON, that is, “1”.
If the probability variation flag is OFF, that is, “0”, it is determined that the normal game state is “normal game mode” (S14: NO), and the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S15. In S15, the CPU 291 reads the “normal jackpot value” (in the present embodiment, “7”) stored in advance in the ROM 292, and sets the “normal jackpot value” as the “jackpot value” in the RAM 293. Then, the process proceeds to S17.
On the other hand, if the probability variation flag is ON, that is, “1”, it is determined that the normal gaming state is in the “probability variation mode” (S14: YES), and the CPU 291 proceeds to the processing of S16. In S <b> 16, the CPU 291 reads out the “probability large hit value” (in the present embodiment, “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”) stored in advance in the ROM 292. After storing “probable big hit value” as “big hit value” in the RAM 293, the process proceeds to S17.

In S <b> 17, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not it is “big hit”.
In the determination process of whether or not it is “big hit”, first, the algebra V as “big hit count value” is read from the RAM 293. Then, it is determined whether or not the algebra V matches any of the “big hit values” stored in the RAM 293. If they match, it is determined that a “hit” has occurred (S17: YES), and the CPU 291 reads the jackpot flag from the RAM 293 and turns on the jackpot flag, that is, sets this jackpot flag to “1”. After substituting and storing again in the RAM 293, the process proceeds to S18.
On the other hand, if they do not match, it is determined that “losing” has occurred (S17: NO), and the CPU 291 reads the jackpot flag from the RAM 293 and turns off the jackpot flag. ”Is stored again in the RAM 293, and then the process proceeds to S24.

Therefore, in the “normal game 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 becoming a “big hit” is about four times that in the game state of the normal game mode.
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.

If it is determined in S17 that the “big hit” has occurred (S17: YES), in S18, the CPU 291 reads the algebra Y as the big hit special symbol selection count value from the parameter storage area 293K, and the ROM 292. The “big jackpot” corresponding to the algebra Y stored in (for example, “111” when the algebra Y is “0”, “222” when the algebra Y is “1”,... When the algebra Y is “8”, “999” is selected, and when the algebra Y is “9”, “10 10 10” is selected. Is stored in the RAM 293.

A variation pattern command to be output as instruction information to the CPU 281 of 280 is selected and stored in the RAM 293.
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 99”, 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 280 is stored in the RAM 293.

In S20, 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 selects the corresponding one from the “effect time” of the variation pattern determination table 73 based on the count value. Then, it is stored in the RAM 293 as “variation display time” corresponding to the variation pattern command output as instruction information to the CPU 281 of the sub integrated control board 280.
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 99”, the CPU 291 displays “22 seconds” of “effect time” as “variation display”. Time ”is stored in the RAM 293.

Subsequently, in S21, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the “big hit symbol” selected in S18 is a probability variation symbol. The jackpot symbols of “111”, “333”, “555”, “777”, and “999” are probability variation symbols. Further, the jackpot symbols of “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”, and “10 10 10” are not probability variation symbols.
Then, if the “big hit symbol” selected in S18 is one of the big hit symbols “111”, “333”, “555”, “777”, and “999”, it is a probability variation symbol. After determining (S21: YES), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S22. In S22, the CPU 291 sets the probability variation mode. Specifically, the CPU 291 reads the probability variation flag from the RAM 293 and turns on the probability variation flag. That is, after substituting “1” into the probability variation flag and storing it again in the RAM 293, the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S32 described later. .

On the other hand, if the “big hit symbol” selected in S18 is one of the big hit symbols “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”, and “10 10 10”, it is not a probability variation symbol. After determining (S21: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S23. In S23, the CPU 291 cancels the probability variation mode, that is, sets the normal game mode. Specifically, the CPU 291 reads the probability variation flag from the RAM 293 and turns off the probability variation flag. That is, after substituting “0” into the probability variation flag and storing it again in the RAM 293, the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S32 described later. .
Here, the CPU 291 functions as a game mode selection unit.
When the pachinko machine 1 is started or reset, the probability variation flag is set to OFF, that is, “0” is assigned to the probability variation flag and stored in the RAM 293.

If it is determined in S17 that “big hit” has not occurred, that is, “losing” has occurred (S17: NO), in S24, the CPU 291 displays the fluctuation symbol at this time. Reach lose after displaying the reach state (for example, “11 ↓”, “77 ↓”, etc., where “↓” means the symbol is rotating) among the three symbols of the symbol. It is determined whether or not (for example, “113” or “773”) is displayed.
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, the reach flag is read from the RAM 293, the reach flag is turned on, that is, “1” is substituted for the reach flag and stored again in the RAM 293, and then the process proceeds to S25.

On the other hand, when the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H is “0 to 89”, it is determined that complete loss is displayed, the reach flag is read from the RAM 293, and the reach flag is turned off, that is, the reach flag is set. After “0” is substituted and stored in the RAM 293 again, the process proceeds to S25.

A variation pattern command to be output as instruction information to the CPU 281 of the substrate 280 is selected and stored in the RAM 293. For example, when the count value of the variation pattern selection counter 293H read from the parameter storage area 293K is any one of “90 to 99”, 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.

On the other hand, when the probability variation flag read from the RAM 293 is OFF in S71, that is, when it is “0” (S71: NO), the CPU 291 determines that it is a big hit in the normal game mode, and performs the processing of S77. Transition.
In S77, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the big winning opening 60 is a big hit that can be continuously opened 15 times, that is, whether or not the big winning opening 60 is opened up to 15 rounds. Specifically, the CPU 291 reads the hold data from the RAM 293 and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the jackpot symbol of the hold data is “888”. When the jackpot symbol of the pending data read from the RAM 293 is “888” (S77: YES), in S78, the CPU 291 sets “R15 non-probable hit” as the “big jack start command” on the sub integrated control board 280. It transmits to CPU281, complete | finishes the said sub process, and returns to a main flowchart.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot symbol of the pending data read from the RAM 293 is not “888” in S77 (S77: NO), the CPU 291 proceeds to the process of S79. In S79, the CPU 291 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the big winning opening 60 is a big hit that can be continuously opened 10 times, that is, whether or not the big winning opening 60 is opened until ten rounds. Specifically, the CPU 291 reads the hold data from the RAM 293 and executes a determination process for determining whether the jackpot symbol of the hold data is “222” or “666”. When the jackpot symbol of the pending data read from the RAM 293 is either “222” or “666” (S79: YES), in S80, the CPU 291 sets “R10 non-probable hit” as the “jacket start command”. Is transmitted to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280, the sub-process is terminated, and the process returns to the main flowchart.

On the other hand, if the jackpot symbol of the pending data read from the RAM 293 is neither “222” nor “666” in S79, that is, the jackpot symbol of the pending data read from the RAM 293 is “444” or “10 10 10”. In any case (S79: NO), the CPU 291 determines that the big winning opening 60 can be continuously opened five times, that is, the big winning game in which the big winning opening 60 is opened up to five rounds. , The process proceeds to S81. In S <b> 81, the CPU 291 transmits “R5 non-probable hit” as the “big hit start command” to the CPU 281 of the sub integrated control board 280, ends the sub processing, and returns to the main flowchart.
Here, in the present embodiment, as the special game mode, the big winning opening 60 can be continuously opened five times (“R5 probability variation”, “R5 non-probability variation”), and the big winning opening 60 is 10 consecutive. A jackpot that can be opened once ("R10 odds per change", "R10 non-probable hits") and a jackpot that can be opened 15 times in succession ("R15 odds per change", "R15 non-probable persenss") are provided. It has been. The CPU 291 functions as special game mode selection means and jackpot type identification means.

  Next, the control processing executed when the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 receives a command such as a “fluctuation pattern command” representing a fluctuation pattern as instruction information from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 will be described with reference to FIGS. 29 will be described. Here, the interrupt control process of FIG. 27 operates at regular intervals (for example, every 4 msec) after the power is turned on. Note that the programs shown in the flowcharts in FIGS. 27 to 29 are stored in the ROM 282 and the RAM 283 provided in the sub-integrated control board 280 and executed by the CPU 281.

  As shown in FIG. 27, first, in S201, the CPU 281 executes a sub-process of “symbol variation instruction processing” for instructing the variable display of the three columns of the varying symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 52. Then, in S202, the CPU 281 executes a sub-process of “big hit round display instruction process” instructing an effect display displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 during the big hit game, and ends the process.

Next, the sub-process of the symbol variation instruction process (S201) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 28, first, in S211, the CPU 281 determines whether instruction information such as “variation pattern command”, “final stop symbol instruction”, “confirmation signal”, or the like has been input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290. A determination process for determining is executed.
If instruction information such as “variation pattern command”, “final stop symbol instruction”, “confirmation signal” or the like has not been input from the CPU 291 (S211: NO), the CPU 281 ends the sub-process and performs main processing. Return to the flowchart.

On the other hand, when instruction information such as “variation pattern command”, “final stop symbol instruction”, “confirmation signal” or the like is input from the CPU 291 (S211: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S212.
In S <b> 212, 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 S213, the CPU 281 reads the instruction information from the RAM 283 again, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the instruction information is a “confirmation signal”.

When the instruction information is a “confirmation signal” (S213: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S214. In S <b> 214, the CPU 281 outputs (instructs) the “confirmation signal” as display instruction information to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260, and ends the process.
On the other hand, if the instruction information is not a “confirmation signal” (S213: NO), in S215, the CPU 281 reads again the count value of the effect pattern selection counter 283A stored in the RAM 283 in S212, and this count value. Is substituted into the effect pattern algebra E and stored in the parameter storage area 283C.

  In S216, 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. Then, the “effect pattern command” of the corresponding effect pattern is read as the “effect pattern count value” corresponding to the “variation pattern command” of the effect pattern selection table 74 (see FIG. 11). The display instruction information is output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of 260 and stored in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command.

  For example, the “variation 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 283B is “0”. In any case of “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 “final stop symbol information” is “778” for notifying reach loss, and the effect pattern algebra E read from the parameter storage area 283B is “0 to 13”. In any case, 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.

  Further, the “variation pattern command” read from the RAM 283 is “21”, the “final stop symbol information” is “333” for notifying the big hit, and the effect pattern algebra E read from the parameter storage area 283B is “0 to 0”. In any case of “13”, the CPU 281 stores “21A” in the RAM 283 as an effect pattern command to be output (instructed) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260.

Thereafter, in S217, the CPU 281 reads out the “effect pattern command” and the “final stop symbol information” from the RAM 283, outputs (instructs) to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260, ends the sub-process, and returns to the main flowchart.
For example, when the CPU 281 reads “1A” 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, and then executes the sub-process. End and return to the main flowchart. Further, when “11A” is read out from the RAM 283 as the “effect pattern command”, the effect pattern command “11A” and “final stop symbol information” are output to the CPU 261 as display instruction information, and then the sub-process is terminated. Return to the main flowchart.

Next, the sub-process of the jackpot round display instruction process (S202) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 29, first, in S <b> 231, the CPU 281 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the instruction information of the “big hit start command” is input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290.
Then, when the instruction information of the “big hit start command” is not input from the CPU 291 (S231: NO), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S239 described later.

  On the other hand, when the instruction information of the “big hit start command” is input from the CPU 291 (S231: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S232.

Further, the CPU 281 reads the count value of the jackpot round effect pattern selection counter 283B when the jackpot start command is input from the CPU 291 and stores the count value in the RAM 283.

In S233, the CPU 281 reads the count value of the jackpot round effect pattern selection counter 283B stored in the RAM 283 in S232 from the RAM 283 again, and substitutes this count value into the jackpot round effect pattern algebra M in the parameter storage area 283C. Remember.
Subsequently, in S234, the CPU 281 reads out the “big hit start command” as the instruction information from the RAM 283 and reads out the big hit round effect pattern algebra M from the parameter storage area 283C. Then, the “big hit start command” is set as the “big hit start command” in each of the big hit round production pattern selection tables 75 to 78, and the value of this big hit round production pattern algebra M is set to each of the big hit round production pattern selection tables 75 to 78. As the “big hit round effect pattern count value”, the corresponding “big hit effect pattern command” is selected and stored in the RAM 283.

For example, when the “big hit start command” read from the RAM 283 is “R15 probability variable hit” and the big hit round effect pattern algebra M read from the parameter storage area 283C is “3”, the CPU 281 displays the jackpot round effect pattern selection table. From “75”, “1 per R15 probability change” is read out as “big hit effect pattern command” and stored in RAM 283.
Further, when the “big hit start command” read from the RAM 283 is “R10 probable hit” and the big hit round effect pattern algebra M read from the parameter storage area 283C is “10”, the CPU 281 displays the big hit round effect pattern selection table. “2 per R10 probability change” is read out from 76 as a “big hit effect pattern command” and stored in the RAM 283.

Further, when the “big hit start command” read from the RAM 283 is “R5 probability change hit” and the big hit round effect pattern algebra M read from the parameter storage area 283C is “36”, the CPU 281 displays the big hit round effect pattern selection table. 77, “2 per R5 probability change” is read out as “big hit effect pattern command” and stored in the RAM 283.
When the “big hit start command” read from the RAM 283 is “R15 non-probable hit” and the big hit round effect pattern algebra M read from the parameter storage area 283C is “52”, the CPU 281 selects the big hit round effect pattern. “R15 non-probable hit” is read from the table 78 as “big hit effect pattern command” and stored in the RAM 283.
Here, the CPU 281 functions as a lottery image data selection unit.

In S235, the CPU 281 reads the “hit effect pattern command” stored in the RAM 283 in S234 again from the RAM 283 and outputs it to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260.
In S <b> 236, the CPU 281 outputs display instruction information for the first interval to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260.
Here, the CPU 281 functions as an interval display control means.
In S237, the CPU 281 reads the interval algebra N1 from the RAM 283, substitutes “0” for the interval algebra N1, and stores it again in the RAM 283 after initialization.
In S238, the CPU 281 reads the round algebra N2 from the RAM 283, substitutes “0” for the round algebra N2, and stores it again in the RAM 283 after initialization.

When the “big winning opening release command” is input (S239: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S240.
In S240, the CPU 281 outputs to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 an “interval effect stop command” for instructing stop of the effect display between the intervals where the special winning opening 60 is closed.

In S241, the CPU 281 reads the round algebra N2 from the RAM 283, adds “1” to the round algebra N2, and stores the round algebra N2 in the RAM 283 again.
Thereafter, in S242, the CPU 281 reads the round algebra N2 from the RAM 283 again, and uses the value of the land algebra N2 as “round number data” representing the number of rounds at which the big winning opening 60 in the jackpot game is opened. After outputting to the CPU 261, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

  On the other hand, if the “large winning opening release command” is not input in S239 (S239: NO), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S243. In S243, the CPU 281 executes a determination process for determining whether or not a “big prize opening closing command” is input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290. If the “big prize opening closing command” is input (S243: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S244. In S244, the CPU 281 outputs to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 a “hit round effect display stop command” instructing to stop the effect display while the special winning opening 60 is opened.

In S245, the CPU 281 reads the interval algebra N1 from the RAM 283, adds “1” to the interval algebra N1, and stores it again in the RAM 283.
After that, in S246, the CPU 281 reads the interval algebra N1 from the RAM 283 again, and the interval algebra N1 indicates the number of intervals during which the big winning opening 60 is closed during the jackpot game. After the output to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

On the other hand, if the “big prize opening closing command” is not input in S243 (S243: NO), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S247. In S 247, the CPU 281 executes a determination process for determining whether or not a “big hit end command” has been input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290. When the “big hit end command” is input (S247: YES), the CPU 281 proceeds to the process of S248. In S248, the CPU 281 outputs a “big hit effect display end command” instructing the end of the effect display during the jackpot game to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260, and then ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when the “big hit end command” is not input in S247 (S247: NO), the CPU 281 ends the sub-process and returns 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. 30 to 34. To do.
As shown in FIG. 30, in S301, when the display instruction information is input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280, the CPU 261 displays the effect pattern command and the symbol data of the final stop symbol constituting the display instruction information, or the jackpot The effect pattern command is stored in the RAM 263.
In step S <b> 302, the CPU 261 reads the display instruction information from the RAM 263, and executes a determination process for determining whether the display pattern command is a complete loss. That is, the CPU 261 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “1A” of the effect pattern command. When the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “1A” of the effect pattern command (S302: YES), in S303, the CPU 261 executes a sub-process of “completely lost display process”.
On the other hand, when the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is not “1A” of the effect pattern command (S302: NO), the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S304.

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

In S306, the CPU 261 again reads the display instruction information from the RAM 263, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the display instruction information is a winning effect pattern. That is, the CPU 261 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “21A” of the effect pattern command. If the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is the effect pattern command “21A” (S306: YES), in S307, the CPU 261 ends the process after executing the “winning display process” sub-process. To do.
On the other hand, when the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is not “21A” of the effect pattern command (S306: NO), the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S308.

Subsequently, in S308, the CPU 261 reads the display instruction information from the RAM 263 again, and executes a determination process for determining whether the display instruction information is a jackpot effect pattern command. That is, the CPU 261 determines whether or not the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is one of the jackpot effect pattern commands “R15 probability variation, R15 probability variation 2,..., R5 non-probability variation”. The determination process to be executed is executed. If the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is one of the jackpot effect pattern commands “R15 probability variation 1, R15 probability variation 2,..., R5 non-probability variation” (S308: YES). In step S309, the CPU 261 ends the process after executing the sub-process of the “big hit game display process”.
On the other hand, if the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is not one of the jackpot effect pattern command “R15 probability variation, R15 probability variation 2,..., R5 non-probability variation” (S308: NO), The CPU 261 ends the process without executing the sub-process of S309.

Next, sub-processing of “completely losing display processing” (S303) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 31, in S <b> 311, 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 262 </ b> A of the ROM 262. As the “command”, the “effect display pattern” corresponding to the “effect pattern command” in the effect display pattern table 81 is read out and stored in the RAM 263.
For example, the CPU 261 stores, in the RAM 263, the complete loss of moving image data for about 5 seconds as the “effect display pattern” corresponding to the “effect pattern command 1 A” in the effect display pattern table 81.
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 side, the center, and the right side 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 last stop symbol data constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “687”, the CPU 261 stops displaying the symbol “6” as the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52. To do.

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. In addition, 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 middle column.
For example, when the symbol data constituting the production instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “687”, the CPU 261 stops and displays the symbol “7” as the second symbol in the right column of the liquid crystal display 52.
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 third symbol of the symbol data as the third symbol in the middle row 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 “687”, the CPU 261 stops and displays the symbol “8” as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52.

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. This is output (see S214 in FIG. 28).
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 FIG.
As shown in FIG. 32, in S321, the CPU 261 reads the effect pattern command again from the RAM 263 and stores the effect pattern command in the effect display pattern table storage area 262A of the ROM 262 (see FIG. 16). The “effect display pattern” corresponding to the “effect pattern command” in the effect display pattern table 81 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 loss video data “change start → first symbol stop” for about 20 seconds as the “effect display pattern” in the effect display pattern table 81 → “2nd symbol stop → reach A effect → 3rd symbol stop → reach loss display (20 seconds)” is stored in the RAM 263.

In S322, the CPU 261 causes the liquid crystal display 52 to display each of the first and second columns in the three columns varying in the vertical direction on the left side, the center, and the right side based on the moving image data of the “effect display pattern” stored in the RAM 263.・ Start the variable display of the 3rd symbol.
Subsequently, in S323, the CPU 261 configures display instruction information from the RAM 263 when the fourth predetermined time stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed since the start of the variable display of the first, second, and third symbols. The “final stop symbol” symbol data is read, and the “final stop symbol” reach symbol 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 “final stop symbol” constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “121”, the CPU 261 stops and displays the symbol “1” as the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52. .

In S324, the CPU 261 configures display instruction information from the RAM 263 when the fifth predetermined time stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed since the start of the variable display of the first, second, and third symbols. The symbol data of “final stop symbol” is read and the reach symbol of “final stop symbol” is stopped and displayed as the second symbol in the right column of the liquid crystal display 52. In addition, 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 middle column.
For example, when the “final stop symbol” constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “121”, the CPU 261 stops and displays the symbol “1” as the second symbol in the right column of the liquid crystal display 52. .

Thereafter, in S325, the CPU 261 executes the sub-process of “reach A display process”, and then proceeds to the process of S326.
After that, in S326, the CPU 261 reads the symbol data of the final stop symbol constituting the display instruction information from the RAM 263, and stops displaying the second symbol of the final stop symbol as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52. After reaching the reach loss, the process proceeds to S327.
For example, when the symbol data of the final stop symbol constituting the effect instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “121”, the CPU 261 stops displaying the symbol “2” as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52. To do. Accordingly, in this case, the reach loss “121” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 52.

  Subsequently, in S <b> 327, 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 time “about 20 seconds” of the fluctuation pattern “11” output to the CPU 281 in the ROM 292 in advance, and when the display time “about 20 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. This is output (see S214 in FIG. 28).

If no confirmation signal is input from the CPU 281 (S327: NO), the CPU 261 continues to display the moving image in S328.
On the other hand, when a confirmation signal is input from the CPU 281 (S327: 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 S329 is displayed. Then, the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the main flowchart.

Next, the sub-process of the “winning display process” in S307 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 33, in S341, the CPU 261 reads out 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 (see FIG. 16). The “effect display pattern” corresponding to the “effect pattern command” in the effect display pattern table 81 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 “representation display pattern” in the effect display pattern table 81 for about 22 seconds of hit reach video data “change start → first symbol stop”. "2nd symbol stop-> reach A effect-> 3rd symbol stop-> win display (22 seconds)" is stored in the RAM 263.

In S <b> 342, the CPU 261 causes the liquid crystal display 52 to display each of the first and second columns of the first and second columns that fluctuate in the vertical direction on the left side, the center, and the right side based on the moving image data of the “effect display pattern” stored in the RAM 263.・ Start the variable display of the 3rd symbol.
Subsequently, in S343, the CPU 261 configures display instruction information from the RAM 263 when the sixth predetermined time stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed since the start of the variable display of the first, second, and third symbols. The symbol data of the “final stop symbol” is read out, and the first symbol of the “final stop symbol” 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 “final stop symbol” constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “777”, the CPU 261 stops and displays the symbol “7” as the first symbol in the left column of the liquid crystal display 52. .

In S344, the CPU 261 configures display instruction information from the RAM 263 when the seventh predetermined time stored in advance in the ROM 262 has elapsed since the start of the variable display of the first, second, and third symbols. The symbol data of “final stop symbol” is read out, and the third symbol of the “final stop symbol” is stopped and displayed as the second symbol in the right column of the liquid crystal display 52. In addition, 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 middle column.
For example, when the “final stop symbol” constituting the display instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “777”, the CPU 261 stops and displays the symbol “7” as the second symbol in the right column of the liquid crystal display 52. .

Thereafter, in S345, the CPU 261 performs the subprocess of “reach A display process”, and then proceeds to the process of S346.
Thereafter, in S346, the CPU 261 reads the symbol data of the final stop symbol constituting the display instruction information from the RAM 263, and stops the second symbol of the final stop symbol as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52. After the jackpot notification, the process proceeds to S347.
For example, when the symbol data of the final stop symbol constituting the effect instruction information read from the RAM 263 is “777”, the CPU 261 stops displaying the symbol “7” as the third symbol in the middle row of the liquid crystal display 52. To do. Therefore, in this case, the jackpot “777” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 52.
In S347 to S349, the CPU 261 executes the processes in S327 to S329, ends the sub-process, and returns to the main flowchart.

Next, the sub-process of the “big hit game display process” in S309 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 34, in S361, the CPU 261 reads the jackpot effect pattern command from the RAM 263 again. Then, this jackpot effect pattern command is used as a “hit effect pattern command” in each jackpot round effect display pattern table 82 to 84 (see FIGS. 17 to 19) stored in the jackpot round effect display pattern table storage area 262B of the ROM 262. “R1”, “R2”, “R1”, “R2”, “R1”, “R2”, and “R2” representing the number of rounds in which the big winning opening 60 is opened Stored in the RAM 263 together with “R3”,..., “R15”.

  For example, when the jackpot effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is “2 per R15 probability change”, the number of rounds “R1” corresponding to “2 per R15 probability change” in the jackpot round effect display pattern table 82, that is, the first round “Introducing the fighting stage” is stored in the RAM 263 as the “big hit round effect display pattern”. In addition, “introduction of a friend character” is stored in the RAM 263 as the number of rounds “R2”, that is, the “big hit round effect display pattern” of the second round.

Further, “introduction of a teammate character” is stored in the RAM 263 as the number of rounds “R7”, that is, the “big hit round effect display pattern” of the seventh round. In addition, “introduction of enemy characters” is stored in the RAM 263 as the number of rounds “R8”, that is, the “big hit round effect display pattern” of the eighth round. Further, “Right scene” is stored in the RAM 263 as the round number “R9”, that is, the “big hit round effect display pattern” of the ninth round. Further, “R10” is stored in the RAM 263 as the number of rounds “R10”, that is, as the “big hit round effect display pattern” of the tenth round. Then, “demo display” is stored in the RAM 263 as the “big hit round effect display pattern” of the round numbers “R11” to “R15”, that is, the 11th to 15th lands.

  In S362, the CPU 261 reads the jackpot effect pattern command from the RAM 263 again. Then, the jackpot effect pattern command of each jackpot interval effect display pattern table 85 to 87 (see FIGS. 20 to 22) stored in the jackpot interval effect display pattern table storage area 262C of the ROM 262 is used as this jackpot effect pattern command. As the “hit hitting interval effect display pattern” corresponding to the “hit hitting effect pattern command” in each of the jackpot interval effect display pattern tables 85 to 87, the number of each interval “first time” while the big winning opening 60 is closed. , “I1”, “I2”,...

  For example, when the jackpot effect pattern command read from the RAM 263 is “2 per R15 probability change”, the “first time”, that is, the first round corresponding to “2 per R15 probability change” in the effect display pattern table 85 between jackpot intervals. “First time interval display” is stored in the RAM 263 as the “big hit interval effect display pattern” displayed before. In addition, the number of intervals “I1”, that is, “cutting display of teammate character” is stored in the RAM 263 as the “big hit interval effect display pattern” between the first and second rounds. Further, the “number of intervals“ I2 ”, that is,“ effect display pattern of the big hit interval ”between the second and third rounds,“ cutting display of enemy character ”is stored in the RAM 263. In addition, “interesting display” is stored in the RAM 263 as the interval number “I3”, that is, the “big hit interval effect display pattern” between the third and fourth rounds. In addition, “number of intervals“ I4 ”, that is,“ smoke display on the entire screen ”is stored in the RAM 263 as the“ big hit interval effect display pattern ”between the fourth and fifth rounds. In addition, the number of intervals “I5”, that is, “display the battle once again” as the “big hit interval effect display pattern” between the fifth and sixth rounds is stored in the RAM 263. In addition, the number of intervals “I6”, that is, “cut-off display of teammate character” is stored in the RAM 263 as the “big hit interval effect display pattern” between the sixth and seventh rounds. Further, the “number of intervals“ I7 ”, that is,“ effect display pattern of the big hit interval ”between the seventh and eighth rounds,“ cut-in display of enemy characters ”is stored in the RAM 263. In addition, “interesting display” is stored in the RAM 263 as the interval number “I8”, that is, “effect display pattern between jackpot intervals” between the 8th and 9th rounds. In addition, the number of intervals “I9”, that is, the “big hit interval effect display pattern” between the 9th and 10th rounds, “smoke display on the entire screen” is stored in the RAM 263. The number of intervals “I10” to “I14”, that is, “character cut-in” as the “big hit interval effect display pattern” displayed between the interval at the end of the 10th round and the interval at the end of the 14th round. Stored in the RAM 263. In addition, “final interval display” is stored in the RAM 263 as “final”, that is, “effect display pattern between jackpot intervals” displayed at the end of the 15th round.

Subsequently, in S363, the CPU 261 waits for input of display instruction information for the first interval from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 (S363: NO). Then, when the display instruction information of the first interval is input from the CPU 281 of the sub integrated control board 280 (S363: YES), the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S364.
In S <b> 364, the CPU 261 reads out the “big hit interval effect display pattern” corresponding to the first interval from the RAM 263 and displays it on the liquid crystal display 52.
For example, when the “big hit effect pattern command” is “2 per R15 probability variation”, the CPU 261 displays “first interval display” on the liquid crystal display 52 as the “big hit interval effect display pattern” corresponding to the first interval. .

In S365, the CPU 261 waits for “round number data” to be input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 (S365: NO). If “round number data” is input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 (S365: YES), the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S366.
In S <b> 366, the CPU 261 reads out the “hit-round effect display pattern” corresponding to the “round number data” from the RAM 263 and displays it on the liquid crystal display 52.

  For example, when the “big hit round effect display pattern” corresponding to “2 per R15 probability variation” is stored in the RAM 263 in S361, if the “round number data” input from the CPU 281 is “1”, the CPU 261 Reads out the number of rounds “R1”, that is, “introducing fighting stage” from the RAM 263 as the “big hit round effect display pattern” of the first round, and displays it on the liquid crystal display 52. When the “round number data” input from the CPU 281 is “5”, the CPU 261 reads “round” from the RAM 263 as “R5” round number and “hit round effect display pattern” of the 51st round immediately. Display on the liquid crystal display 52.

Subsequently, in S367, the CPU 261 determines whether or not the “hit round effect display stop command” instructing stop of the effect display while the big prize opening 60 is opened is input from the CPU 281 of the sub integrated control board 280. A determination process for determining is executed. When the “hit round effect display stop command” is not input from the CPU 281 (S367: NO), the CPU 261 executes the processing from S366 again. That is, the CPU 261 continues to display the “big hit round effect display pattern” corresponding to the “round number data”.
On the other hand, when the “hit round effect display stop command” is input from the CPU 281 (S367: YES), the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S368. In S368, the CPU 261 stops displaying the “big hit round effect display pattern”.

In S <b> 369, the CPU 261 executes a determination process for determining whether or not a “hit jackpot display end command” instructing the end of the jackpot display is displayed from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. If the “big hit round effect display end command” is input from the CPU 281 (S369: YES), the CPU 261 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, if the “big hit round effect display end command” is not input from the CPU 281 (S369: NO), the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S370.
In S370, the CPU 261 waits for the “interval number data” to be input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 (S370: NO). If “interval number data” is input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 (S370: YES), the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S371.
In S <b> 371, the CPU 261 reads out the “big hit interval effect display pattern” corresponding to the “interval number data” from the RAM 263 and displays it on the liquid crystal display 52.

  For example, when the “big hit interval effect display pattern” corresponding to “2 per R15 probability variation” is stored in the RAM 263 in the above S362, when the “interval number data” input from the CPU 281 is “1”, The CPU 261 reads out the “number of intervals“ I1 ”, that is,“ cut-off display of teammate character ”from the RAM 263 as the“ big hit interval effect display pattern ”between the first and second rounds, and displays it on the liquid crystal display 52. To do. When the “interval number data” input from the CPU 281 is “5”, the CPU 261 determines that the interval number is “I5”, that is, the “big hit interval effect display pattern” between the fifth and sixth rounds. As a result, “display once again” is read from the RAM 263 and displayed on the liquid crystal display 52.

Subsequently, in S372, a determination process for determining whether or not an “interval effect stop command” for instructing stop of the effect display between the intervals where the special winning opening 60 is closed is input from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. Execute. When the “interval effect stop command” is not input from the CPU 281 (S372: NO), the CPU 261 executes the processing after S371 again. That is, the CPU 261 continues to display the “big hit interval effect display pattern” corresponding to the “interval number data”.
On the other hand, when the “interval effect stop command” is input from the CPU 281 (S372: YES), the CPU 261 proceeds to the process of S373. In S373, the CPU 261 stops the display of the “big hit interval effect display pattern” corresponding to the “interval number data”, and then executes the processing from S365 again.
Here, the CPU 291, CPU 281, and CPU 261 constitute display control means.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the “big hit symbol” is one of the big hit symbols “111”, “333”, “555”, “777”, and “999”. In this case, after the jackpot game ends, the probability variation mode is set, and the jackpot symbol is any one of the jackpot symbols “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”, “10 10 10”. If it is, after the jackpot game ends, the normal game mode is set (S11 to S31). In addition, in the case of one of the big winning symbols “111”, “333”, “555”, “777”, “999”, the number of rounds in which the winning prize opening 60 is opened is 5 rounds, 10 rounds, A big hit start command of “R5 probability variation per”, “R10 probability variation per”, or “R15 probability variation per” that is 15 rounds is output to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. Further, in the case of any of the jackpot symbols of “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”, “10 10 10”, the number of rounds in which the big winning opening 60 is opened is 5 rounds, 10 rounds A jackpot start command of “R5 non-probable per change”, “R10 non-probable per change”, or “R15 non-probable per change” that is round, 15 rounds is output to the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 (S44- S57).

  Then, the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 performs “R5 probability variation per”, “R10 probability variation per”, “R15 probability variation per”, “R5 non-probability variation”, “R10 non-probability variation”, “R15 non-probability variation”, and “R15 non-probability variation per”. When one of the jackpot start commands is input, “1 per R5 probability change” to “2 per R5 probability change”, “1 per R10 probability change” to “3 per R10 probability change”, “R15 probability change per probability” One big hit effect pattern command is selected from “1” to “4 per R15 probability change”, “R5 non-probability change”, “R10 non-probability change”, and “R15 non-probability change”, and output to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 (S231 to S248).

  On the other hand, when the jackpot effect pattern command is input, the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 selects the jackpot round effect display pattern and the jackpot interval effect display pattern corresponding to the jackpot effect pattern command, and displays the bonus winning opening 60. The images are sequentially displayed on the liquid crystal display 52 in accordance with the opening operation (S361 to S373). Here, the “big hit effect pattern command” is “1 per R15 probability variation”, “2 per R15 probability variation”, “3 per R15 probability variation”, “1 per R10 probability variation”, “2 per R10 probability variation”, “1 per R5 probability variation”. ", The fact that the probability variation mode has been acquired is displayed in the final round in which the special winning opening 60 is opened. Also, the “big hit production pattern command” is “4 per R15 probability variation”, “R15 non-probability variation”, “3 per R10 probability variation”, “R10 non-probability variation”, “2 per R5 probability variation”, “R5 non-probability variation”. In this case, even in the final round when the special winning opening 60 is opened, it is displayed that either the probability variation mode or the normal game mode is still being drawn.

  Therefore, when 15 rounds of “R15 probability variation” are obtained, the probability is 21/100 (see FIG. 12), and when 10 rounds of “R10 probability variation” is obtained, 100 rounds are obtained. If the probability of 31/100 (see FIG. 13) and 5 rounds of “R5 per probability change” is acquired, the probability variation mode is acquired with the probability of 31/100 (see FIG. 14). Is announced in the final round when the big prize opening 60 is opened, and the player can increase the joy of winning the jackpot.

  Further, when 15 rounds of “R15 probability variation” are obtained, the probability is 79/100 (see FIG. 12), and when 10 rounds of “R10 probability variation” is obtained, 100 rounds are obtained. With a probability of 69 / min (see FIG. 13), and when 5 rounds of “R5 probability per change” are obtained, with a probability of 69/100 (see FIG. 14), 5 rounds and 10 rounds In the case of “R5 non-probable per change”, “R10 non-probable per change”, and “R15 non-probable per change”, which are 15 rounds, the winning prize opening 60 is opened with 100/100 probability (see FIG. 15) Even in the final round, the player's probability variation mode is notified by notifying that the probability variation mode has not been acquired and notifying that either the probability variation mode or the normal game mode is still being drawn. Increases the expectations of the acquisition, it is possible to continue the joy of the jackpot win.

  Further, when the “big hit effect pattern command” is “4 per R15 probability variation”, “R15 non-probability variation”, “3 per R10 probability variation”, or “R10 non-probability variation”, the final winning opening 60 is finally opened. Every five rounds, it is possible to continuously notify that the player is still drawing lots of either the probability variation mode or the normal game mode two to three times. It is possible to further increase the sense of expectation and to reliably continue the joy of winning the jackpot (see FIGS. 17 and 18).

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, in the above embodiment, the jackpot round effect pattern selection table 78 includes one jackpot effect pattern command for each jackpot start command for R15 non-probable change, R10 non-probable change, and R5 non-probable change. Although stored, a plurality of jackpot effect pattern commands may be stored for each jackpot start command per R15 non-probable change, R10 non-probable change, and R5 non-probable change. Further, in this case, the jackpot round effect display patterns with different backgrounds and characters to be displayed are stored in the jackpot effect display pattern tables 82 to 84 with respect to the effect display patterns per uncertain change. As a result, it is possible to further diversify the effect display pattern when R15 non-probable per R10, R10 non-probable per, and R5 non-probable per lot is selected.
