Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent players from noticing an occurrence of an internal processing error. <P>SOLUTION: When a performance control circuit determines that a receiving result of a symbol information command is a probability variable big win, a receiving result of a variation start command is a failure reach (ready-to-win condition), and the both results are not fitted with each other, sets ornament symbols to a probability variable big win combination according to the receiving result of the symbol information command and sets process data for command abnormality. A time required for the process data is set longer compared with the longest variable display time. Therefore, though the symbol information command normally sets the probability variable big win, when a main control circuits sets the variation start command to an abnormal failure reach, the variation stop command is transmitted at a timing according to either of a plurality of variation start commands for the failure reach, however, in an ornament symbol game, the ornament symbols can be stationarily displayed at a probability variable big win according to the normal symbol information command, so as to prevent the player from easily noticing the occurrence of the internal processing error from the display content of an ornament symbol display. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

This interval process is executed when the special process flag is set to “6”, and the CPU 51 executes the unit time ΔT recorded in advance in the ROM 52 from the interval time timer MT3 of the timer storage unit 144 in step S161. The remaining interval time is measured by subtracting.

  When the CPU 51 subtracts the interval time timer MT3 of the timer storage unit 144 in step S161, the CPU 51 compares the subtraction result of the interval time timer MT3 of the timer storage unit 144 with the limit value “0” recorded in advance in the ROM 52 in step S162. When “MT3 = 0” is determined here, the big hit round counter MN1 of the counter storage unit 145 is compared with the final value “15” in step S163.

  When the CPU 51 determines “MN1 <final value” in step S163, it sets a big hit round command in step S164. In step S165, the setting result of the big hit round command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70, and in step S166, “5” is set in the special figure process flag of the flag storage unit 143. This jackpot round command is set according to the jackpot round counter MN1 of the counter storage unit 145. For example, when “MN = 1”, the second jackpot round command “B001 (h)” is set, and “ When MN = 14 ”, the final 15th big hit round command“ B00E (h) ”is set.

[13-3-1-1] Probability variation jackpot symbol setting process FIG. 42 shows details of the probability variation jackpot symbol setting process in step S284, and the CPU 71 displays the reception result of the symbol information command from the command storage unit 151 in step S311. In step S312, it is determined whether the detection result of the symbol information command is for a probable big hit. For example, when the detection result of the symbol information command is “9000 (h)”, it is determined that the probability variation big hit is used, and the process proceeds to step S313.

  In step S313, the CPU 71 detects the probability variation big hit symbol table of FIG. Then, in step S314 in FIG. 42, the measurement value of the random counter SR1 is acquired from the counter storage unit 154, and the process proceeds to step S315. Here, a symbol element corresponding to the acquisition result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the probability variation big hit symbol table, and each of the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column is set as the selection result of the symbol element. Thus, the decorative design is set to a combination of probable big hits. Next, the process proceeds to step S316, and the probability variation big hit symbol setting result is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155. For example, when the acquisition result of the random counter SR1 is “200”, the symbol element “7” is selected, and the symbol element of each column is set to “7”, so that the decorative symbol is set to the combination “777” of the probability variation jackpot. Is done. That is, when the reception result of the variation start command is the probability variation big hit and the reception result of the symbol information command is the probability variation big hit and the two match each other, the decorative symbols are recorded in the confirmed symbol storage unit 155 in the combination of the probability variation big hit.

  If the CPU 71 determines that the detection result of the symbol information command is not a probable big hit in step S312 of FIG. 42, the command abnormality flag in the flag storage unit 152 is set to ON in step S317, and the detection result of the symbol information command is determined in step S318. Is usually determined to be a big hit. For example, when the detection result of the symbol information command is “9001 (h)”, it is determined in step S318 that the symbol is for a normal big hit, and in step S319, the decorative symbol is used in the same procedure as the normal big hit symbol setting process in step S286 of FIG. Usually set to the big hit combination. Then, in step S320, the middle row of design elements is set as the middle row effect element 1 in the decorative design setting result, and in step S321, the next design element of the middle row of design elements is set as the middle design element. Set to column effect element 2. Next, in step S326, the setting result of the middle row effect element 1 and the setting result of the middle row effect element 2 are recorded in the effect element storage unit 156, and in step S316, the decoration symbol setting result is confirmed. To record. For example, when the decoration symbol setting result is the normal jackpot combination “222”, the middle row effect element 1 is set to “2” and the middle row effect element 2 is set to “3”. Further, when the decorative symbol setting result is the normal jackpot combination “888”, the middle row effect element 1 is set to “8” and the middle row effect element 2 is set to “1”.

When the detection result of the symbol information command is “9002 (h)”, the CPU 71 determines that the detection result of the symbol information command is not normally a big hit in step S318, and proceeds to step S322. Here, a decorative symbol is set to a combination of outliers in the same procedure as the outlier reach symbol setting process in step S288 of FIG. 41, and in the step S323, the symbol elements in the left column of the decorative symbol setting results are shown in the middle column. Set to 1. Then, in step S324, the next symbol element of the setting result of the middle row effect element 1 is set to the middle row effect element 2, and in step S325, the middle row symbol element of the decoration symbol setting results is set to the middle row effect. Change to the setting result of element 2. Next, in step S326, the setting result of the middle row effect element 1 and the setting result of the middle row effect element 2 are recorded in the effect element storage unit 156, and the middle row symbol element is changed to the effect element 2 in step S316. The set result of the decorated symbol is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155. For example, when the decorative symbol setting result is a combination of “363” out of reach, the middle row effect element 1 is set to “3”, the middle row effect element 2 is set to “4”, and the decorative symbol setting result. Is changed from “363” to “343”. In other words, when the reception result of the variation start command is a probable big hit, the reception result of the symbol information command is usually a big hit or miss, and the two are not consistent with each other, the decorative symbol is in accordance with the reception result of the symbol information command in the fixed symbol storage unit 155 Recorded in combination.
[13-3-1-2] Normal jackpot symbol setting process FIG. 43 shows details of the normal jackpot symbol setting process in step S286, and the CPU 71 displays the reception result of the symbol information command from the command storage unit 151 in step S331. In step S332, it is determined whether or not the detection result of the symbol information command is normally for big hit. For example, when the detection result of the symbol information command is “9001 (h)”, it is determined that it is usually a big hit, and the process proceeds to step S333.

  When the CPU 71 proceeds to step S333, the normal big hit symbol table of FIG. Then, in step S334 of FIG. 43, the measurement value of the random counter SR1 is acquired from the counter storage unit 154, and the process proceeds to step S335. Here, a symbol element corresponding to the acquisition result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the normal jackpot symbol table, and each of the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column is set as the symbol element selection result. The decoration pattern is usually set to a big hit combination. Next, the process proceeds to step S336, and the decoration symbol setting result is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155. For example, when the acquisition result of the random counter SR1 is “200”, the symbol element “8” is selected, and the symbol element of each column is set to “8”, so that the decorative symbol is normally set to the combination “888” of the jackpot Is done. That is, when the variation start command reception result is a normal jackpot and the symbol information command reception result is a normal jackpot and the two match each other, the decorative symbols are recorded in the determined symbol storage unit 155 in a combination of the normal jackpot.

  If the CPU 71 determines in step S332 of FIG. 43 that the detection result of the symbol information command is not normally a big hit, the CPU 71 sets the command abnormality flag in the flag storage unit 152 to ON in step S337, and detects the symbol information command in step S338. It is determined whether the result is for a probable big hit. For example, when the detection result of the symbol information command is “9000 (h)”, it is determined that it is for probability variation big hit in step S338, and in step S339, the same procedure as the probability variation big hit symbol setting processing in step S284 of FIG. Use to set the combination for the probable big hit. Then, in step S340, the middle row of design elements is set as the middle row effect element 1 in the decorative design setting result, and in step S341, the next design element of the middle row of design elements is set as the middle design element. Set to column effect element 2. Next, in step S346, the setting result of the middle row effect element 1 and the setting result of the middle row effect element 2 are recorded in the effect element storage unit 156, and the decoration symbol setting result is determined in step S346 as the confirmed symbol storage unit 155. To record. For example, when the decorative symbol setting result is the combination “777” for the probability variation jackpot, the middle row effect element 1 is set to “7” and the middle row effect element 2 is set to “8”.

When the detection result of the symbol information command is “9002 (h)”, the CPU 71 determines in step S338 that the detection result of the symbol information command is not for the probable big hit, and proceeds to step S342. Here, a decorative symbol is set to a combination of outliers in the same procedure as the outlier reach symbol setting process in step S288 in FIG. 41, and in the step S343, the left column of the decorative symbol setting results is the middle row effect element. Set to 1. Then, in step S344, the next symbol element after the setting result of the middle row effect element 1 is set to the middle row effect element 2, and in step S345, the middle row symbol element of the decoration symbol setting results is set to the middle row effect. Change to the setting result of element 2. Next, in step S346, the setting result of the middle row effect element 1 and the setting result of the middle row effect element 2 are recorded in the effect element storage unit 156, and the middle row symbol element is changed to the effect element 2 in step S336. The set result of the decorated symbol is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155. In other words, when the reception result of the fluctuation start command is usually a big hit, the reception result of the symbol information command is a probable big hit or miss, and the two are not consistent with each other, the decorative symbol is in the fixed symbol storage unit 155 according to the reception result of the symbol information command. Recorded in combination.
[13-3-1-3] Outlier Reach Symbol Setting Process FIG. 44 shows details of the outlier reach symbol setting process in step S288, and the CPU 71 displays the reception result of the symbol information command from the command storage unit 151 in step S351. In step S352, it is determined whether or not the detection result of the symbol information command is an outlier. For example, when the detection result of the symbol information command is “9002 (h)”, it is determined that the symbol information command is for detachment, and the process proceeds to step S353.

  In step S353, the CPU 71 detects the left symbol table of FIG. 19C from the ROM 72, and detects the middle symbol table of FIG. 19D from the ROM 72 in step S354 of FIG. 44, the measured value of the random counter SR1 is acquired from the counter storage unit 154 in step S355, the symbol element corresponding to the acquisition result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the left symbol table in step S356, and the symbol element in the left column is selected. Each of the symbol elements in the right column is set as a common symbol element selection result. For example, when “SR1 = 200”, the symbol element “7” is selected, and each of the symbol element in the left column and the symbol element in the right column is set to “7”.

  When the CPU 71 sets each of the symbol elements in the left column and the right column in step S356, the CPU 71 acquires the measured value of the random counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S357. Then, in step S358, an addition element corresponding to the acquisition result of the random counter SR2 is selected from the middle symbol table, and in step S359, the addition element selection result is added to the setting result of the left column symbol element to obtain the addition value K1. Calculate. Next, in step S360, the calculation result of the addition value K1 is compared with “8”. When the calculation result of the addition value K1 is “8” or less, the process proceeds to step S362. Here, the calculation result of the addition value K1 is compared with the setting result of the symbol element in the left column. If they are different, the calculation result of the addition value K1 is set in the symbol element of the middle column in step S363, and both are the same. In step S364, the symbol element next to the calculation result of the added value K1 is set as the symbol element in the middle row. For example, when the setting result of the symbol element in the left column is “8” and the calculation result of the added value K1 is “7”, the symbol element in the middle column is set to “7”, and the setting result of the symbol element in the left column is “ When the calculation result of the added value K1 is “8” at “8”, the symbol element in the middle row is set to “1” next to “8”.

  When the CPU 71 determines in step S360 that the calculation result of the addition value K1 is greater than “8”, the CPU 71 calculates a subtraction value K2 by subtracting “8” from the calculation result of the addition value K1 in step S361. Then, in step S362, the calculation result of the subtraction value K2 is compared with the setting result of the symbol element in the left column. When both are the same, the next symbol element of the calculation result of the subtraction value K2 is set as the symbol element in the middle column in step S364.

  When the CPU 71 sets the symbol elements in the middle row, the setting result of the symbol elements in the left column, the setting of the symbol elements in the middle column, and the setting results of the symbol elements in the right column are stored in the determined symbol storage unit 155 in step S365. . That is, when the reception result of the variation start command is out of reach and the reception result of the symbol information command is out and the two are consistent with each other, the decorative symbol is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155 in the combination of out of reach.

  If the CPU 71 determines in step S352 in FIG. 44 that the detection result of the symbol information command is not off, the CPU 71 sets the command abnormality flag in the flag storage unit 152 to ON in step S366, and the detection result of the symbol information command in step S367. It is determined whether or not it is for a probable big hit. For example, when the detection result of the symbol information command is “9000 (h)”, it is determined that it is for probability variation big hit in step S367, and the same procedure as the probability variation big hit symbol setting processing in step S284 of FIG. 41 is determined in step S368. Use to set the combination for probability variation big hit. Then, in step S370, the middle row of design elements is set to the middle row effect element 1 in the decorative design setting result, and in step S371, the next design element of the middle row of design elements is set to the middle row. Set to column effect element 2. Next, in step S372, the setting result of the effect element 1 in the middle row and the setting result of the effect element 2 in the middle row are recorded in the effect element storage unit 156. In step S365, the result of setting the decorative pattern of the combination of probability variation jackpots. Record in the confirmed symbol storage unit 155.

When the detection result of the symbol information command is “9001 (h)”, the CPU 71 determines in step S367 that the detection result of the symbol information command is not for the probability variation big hit, and proceeds to step S369. Here, the decorative symbol is set to the combination of the normal jackpot in the same procedure as the normal jackpot symbol setting process in step S286 of FIG. 41, and the middle row of design elements in the decorative symbol setting result in step S370 is the middle row effect element. In step S371, the design element next to the middle row of the design elements is set as the middle row effect element 2 in the decorative design setting result. Then, in step S372, each of the setting result of the middle row effect element 1 and the setting result of the middle row effect element 2 is recorded in the effect element storage unit 156, and in step S365, the decoration result of the combination of the normal jackpot is displayed. Record in the confirmed symbol storage unit 155. That is, when the reception result of the fluctuation start command is out of reach and the reception result of the symbol information command is a normal big hit or a probable big hit and the two are not consistent with each other, the decoration symbol is added to the reception result of the symbol information command in the fixed symbol storage unit 155. Recorded in the appropriate combination.
[13-3-1-4] Completely out symbol design processing FIG. 45 shows details of the complete out symbol design processing in step S290, and the CPU 71 displays the reception result of the symbol information command from the command storage unit 151 in step S381.

The right symbol table of (e) is detected. In step S386, the measurement value of the random counter SR1 is acquired from the counter storage unit 154. In step S387, the symbol element corresponding to the acquisition result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the left symbol table, and the symbol element in the left column is selected as the symbol element. Set to the selected result. For example, when “SR1 = 200”, the symbol element “7” is selected, and the symbol element in the left column is set to “7”.

  When the CPU 71 sets the symbol elements in the left column in step S387, the CPU 71 acquires the measured value of the random counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S388. Then, in step S389, an addition element corresponding to the acquisition result of the random counter SR2 is selected from the middle symbol table, and in step S390, the addition value K1 is obtained by adding the selection result of the addition element to the setting result of the left column. Calculate. Next, the process proceeds to step S391, and the calculation result of the addition value K1 is compared with “8”. If it is determined that the calculation result of the addition value K1 is “8” or less, the process proceeds to step S393, and the calculation result of the addition value K1 is set in the middle row of symbol elements. If it is determined that the calculation result of the addition value K1 is greater than “8”, the subtraction value K2 is calculated by subtracting “8” from the calculation result of the addition value K1 in step S392, and the subtraction value K2 in step S393. Is set as the middle row of symbol elements. For example, when the calculation result of the addition value K1 is “7”, the symbol element in the middle row is set to “7”, and when the calculation result of the addition value K1 is “14”, the symbol element in the middle row is the addition value “14”. To “6” obtained by subtracting “8” from “”.

  If CPU71 sets the symbol element of a middle row | line | column by step S393, it will acquire the measured value of random counter SR3 from the counter storage part 154 by step S394. Then, in step S395, an addition element corresponding to the acquisition result of the random counter SR3 is selected from the right symbol table, and in step S396, the addition element selection result is added to the setting result of the left column symbol element to obtain the addition value K3. Calculate. Next, in step S397, the calculation result of the addition value K3 is compared with “8”. If the calculation result of the addition value K3 is “8” or less, the process proceeds to step S399. Here, the calculation result of the addition value K3 is compared with the setting result of the symbol element in the left column, and if they are different, the calculation result of the addition value K3 is set in the symbol element of the right column in step S400, and both are the same.
