Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively utilize the jackpot of a special pattern game 1 when the jackpot is held in the special pattern game 1 while giving a special pattern game 2 priority over the special pattern game 1 and performing it. <P>SOLUTION: When the jackpot is not held in the special pattern game 2 and a normal jackpot is held in the special pattern game 1 when setting a probability variation mode, the required time of the special pattern game 2 is extended. Since a game ball easily enters a second special start port for the special pattern game 2, the special pattern game 2 is repeated without interruption. When the probability variation mode is invalidated on the basis of the generation of the jackpot in the special pattern game 2, since the game ball does not easily enter the second special start port for the special pattern game 2, the consumption of the special pattern game 2 is accelerated. Thus, since the jackpot is generated in the special pattern game 1 on the basis of the erasure of all the special pattern game 2, the jackpot of the special pattern game 1 is generated following the jackpot of the special pattern game 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine configured to determine whether or not it is a big hit to open a special ball entrance based on the game ball entering a special start port.

Some of the pachinko gaming machines are configured to detect the update result of the big hit counter based on the game ball entering the special start opening and record the detection result of the big hit counter in the holding area of the data recording means. The reserved area of the data recording means is recorded in the order in which the detection results of the big hit counter are detected. When the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the reserved area of the data recording means, the data recording means The record of the jackpot counter with the oldest detection order is read from the reserved area. Then, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit based on the read result of the big hit counter, and the recording result of the big hit counter with the oldest detection order is erased from the reserved area of the data recording means. Some of these pachinko machines have a pre-reading function for pre-determining whether or not a big hit is based on the detection result of the big hit counter when the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the holding area of the data recording means. . In the case of this pachinko gaming machine, a video of a notice effect is displayed based on the fact that it is prefetched that it is a big hit, and the player is notified that a big hit will occur.

  Some pachinko machines have two types of special start ports, a first special start port and a second special start port. In the case of this pachinko gaming machine, the first holding area and the second holding area are set in the data recording means, and when the game ball enters the first special start port, the detection result of the big hit counter Is recorded in the first holding area of the data recording means, and when the game ball enters the second special start port, the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the second holding area of the data recording means. This second reserved area is set with a higher priority than the first reserved area. If the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the second reserved area, the second reserved area It is determined whether or not a big hit is made based on the big hit counter recorded in the table, and the big hit counter is recorded in the first holding area without the big hit counter being recorded in the second holding area. Is determined whether or not it is a big hit based on a big hit counter recorded in the first reserved area. When the big hit prefetch function is installed in this pachinko gaming machine, it is possible to prefetch whether or not a big hit counter that is determined to be a big hit is recorded for each of the first reserved area and the second reserved area. However, as long as the jackpot counter recording result is processed in the order of the first holding area and the second holding area, the first holding area is recorded with the jackpot counter that is determined to be a big hit. Cannot be processed preferentially, and the big hit counter that is the big hit of the first reserved area cannot be used effectively.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and there is provided a jackpot counter that makes a big hit in the first holding area while processing the recording result of the jackpot counter in the order of the second holding area and the first holding area. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko gaming machine that can effectively use the jackpot counter when it is recorded.

It is recorded in the area. Each of step S96, step S100, step S103, and step S106 in FIG. 32 corresponds to the second counter detection means.
[10] The jackpot value recording means is prerecorded with a jackpot value consisting of values within the range of the lower limit value and the upper limit value of the jackpot counter, and the game mode is changed to the normal probability mode as the jackpot value recording means. A plurality of mutually different values are recorded including the normal jackpot value used when set. 3 corresponds to the jackpot value recording means, and FIG. 10 shows the jackpot value recorded in the jackpot value recording means 62.
[11] The counter reading means determines whether or not the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the first reserved area of the data recording means and records the detection result of the big hit counter in the second reserved area of the data recording means. In the case where it is determined that the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the second reserved area of the data recording means, the detection order is determined from the second reserved area of the data recording means. Reads the old jackpot counter recording result, and the big hit counter detection result is not recorded in the second holding area of the data recording means and the big hit counter detection result is recorded in the first holding area of the data recording means. When it is determined that the data is recorded, the recording result of the jackpot counter with the oldest detection order is read from the first reserved area of the data recording means. Steps S291 to S296 in FIG. 42 constitute counter reading means.
[12] The jackpot determining means is for determining whether the counter reading means is a big hit based on the big hit counter read from the first holding area or the second holding area of the data recording means. When the normal probability mode is set, it is determined that the jackpot counter is the big hit when the result of reading the jackpot counter is the same as the normal jackpot value of the jackpot value recording means, and the game mode is set to the high probability mode. If the result is that the read result of the jackpot counter is the same as one of a plurality of jackpot values of the jackpot value recording means, it is determined that the jackpot is a jackpot. Step S300 in FIG. 42 corresponds to the big hit determination means.
[13] The game mode determination means is read out when the big hit determination means determines that the big hit is based on the big hit counter read out from the first holding area of the data recording means and from the second holding area of the data recording means. The game mode setting means determines whether the game mode is set to the high probability mode or the normal probability mode, respectively. When the probability mode is determined, the game mode is set to the normal probability mode, and when the game mode determination means determines the high probability mode, the game mode is set to the high probability mode. Step S307 in FIG. 42 corresponds to the game mode determination means, and the effective state of the probability variation mode corresponds to the high probability mode, and the invalid state of the probability variation mode corresponds to the normal probability mode.
[14] The counter erasure means determines whether or not the big hit determination means is a big hit based on the big hit counter read from the first holding area of the data recording means. Whether or not the jackpot counter recorded result used to determine whether or not the jackpot is big is based on the jackpot counter read from the second holding area of the data recording means If it is determined whether or not, the recording result of the jackpot counter used for determining whether or not the jackpot is a big hit from the second reserved area of the data recording means is deleted. Step S332 in FIG. 44 corresponds to counter erasing means for erasing the big hit counter MR1 from the first reserved area 131 of the data recording means 63, and step S340 in FIG. 44 is a big hit from the second reserved area 132 of the data recording means 63. This corresponds to counter erasing means for erasing the counter MR1.
[15] Whether or not the first special symbol display unit is a big hit when the big hit determining means determines whether or not the big hit is based on the big hit counter read from the first reserved area of the data recording means. 2 is displayed, and the upper special symbol display 41 in FIG. 2 corresponds to the first special symbol display.
[16] Whether or not the second special symbol display unit is a big hit when the big hit judging means judges whether or not the big hit is based on the big hit counter read from the second reserved area of the data recording means. The lower special symbol display 42 in FIG. 2 corresponds to a second special symbol display.
[17] The game time selecting means determines a big hit when the big hit determining means determines that the big hit is based on the big hit counter read from the first holding area or the second holding area of the data recording means. The special symbol game time is selected from the special symbol game time for the big hit, and the big hit determination means is not a big hit based on the big hit counter read from the first reserved area or the second reserved area of the data recording means Is determined, a special symbol game time is selected from a plurality of predetermined special symbol game times for removal. Step S321 in FIG. 43 corresponds to game time selection means, and the variable display times “8 × 1000 msec”, “16 × 1000 msec”, “28 × 1000 msec”, and “52 × 1000 msec” in FIG. Each of the variable display times “6 × 1000 msec”, “12 × 1000 msec”, “24 × 1000 msec”, and “48 × 1000 msec” in FIG. 14 corresponds to a special symbol game time for removal.
[18] The first special symbol game means determines whether or not the big hit determination means is based on determining whether the big hit determination means is a big hit based on the big hit counter read from the first holding area of the data recording means. The special symbol game video for notifying the determination result is displayed on the first special symbol display device for the required time corresponding to the selection result of the special symbol game time. Steps S283 and S284 in FIG. It constitutes a special symbol game means.
[19] The second special symbol game means determines whether or not the big hit determining means is based on determining whether or not the big hit determining means is a big hit based on the big hit counter read from the second reserved area of the data recording means. The special symbol game video for notifying the determination result is displayed on the second special symbol display device for the required time corresponding to the selection result of the special symbol game time. Steps S283 and S284 in FIG. It constitutes a special symbol game means.
[20] When the big hit determining means determines that the big hit determining means is a big hit based on the big hit counter read from the first holding area of the data recording means, the first special symbol display unit A big hit game is started based on the display of the determination result, and if the big hit determination means determines that the big hit is based on the big hit counter read from the second holding area of the data recording means, the second The big hit game is started based on the determination result of the big hit determination means displayed on the special symbol display, and step S286 in FIG. 41 corresponds to the big hit game means.
[21] The normal jackpot prefetch means is based on the fact that the first counter detection means records the update result of the big hit counter in the first holding area of the data recording means, and the detection result of the big hit counter is the normal value of the big hit value recording means. Whether or not it is a normal big hit counter that is the same value as the big hit value, and prefetch processing is performed before the big hit determination means determines whether or not it is a big hit based on the big hit counter . Step S197 in FIG. 39 corresponds to normal jackpot prefetching means.
[22] When the game time selection means determines that the big hit determination means is not a big hit in the state where the game mode is set to the high probability mode, the normal big hit look-ahead means is normally in the first holding area of the data recording means. The special symbol game time is more probable when pre-reading that the big hit counter is recorded than when pre-reading when the normal big hit counter is not recorded in the first holding area of the data recording means The game time extension process for selecting the special symbol game time so as to be longer is performed.
2. Description of pachinko gaming machine according to claim 2 The pachinko gaming machine according to claim 2 is characterized in that [17] game time selection means performs the game time extension process of [31].
[31] When the game mode is set to the high probability mode and the big hit determining means determines that the game time selecting means is not big hit, the normal big hit prefetching means is normally in the first holding area of the data recording means. When the pre-reading is recorded as the big hit counter, the special symbol for the shortest release is shorter than when the pre-reading is performed when the normal big hit counter is not recorded in the first holding area of the data recording means. A game time is selected with a low probability and a game time extension process for selecting a part or all of the special symbol game time for losing with a high probability except for the shortest special symbol game time for losing. Each of “70%”, “20%”, “5%”, and “5%” in FIG. 14 is the selection probability of the special symbol game time for losing in the setting state of the normal probability mode, as shown in FIG. Each of “95%”, “3%”, “1%” and “1%” is prefetched when the normal big hit is not recorded in the prefetch area 139 of the data recording means 63 in the high probability mode setting state 15 is a selection probability of special symbol game time for losing, and each of “40%”, “40%”, “10%”, and “10%” in FIG. This is a selection probability of a special symbol game time for losing when pre-reading is performed when a big hit in a normal time is recorded in 63 pre-reading areas 139.
3. Description of the pachinko gaming machine according to claim 3 The pachinko gaming machine according to claim 2 is provided with [41] jackpot prefetching means, and [17] gaming time selection means performs the processing of [42]. Yes.
[41] The big hit prefetching means is based on the fact that the second counter detection means records the update result of the big hit counter in the second reserved area of the data recording means, and the detection result of the big hit counter is a plurality of big hits of the big hit value recording means. Whether or not it is a big hit counter at the time of high accuracy that is the same value as one of the values, the prefetch processing is performed before the big hit determination means determines whether or not the big hit is based on the big hit counter. Is what you do. Step S193 in FIG. 39 corresponds to jackpot prefetching means.
[42] The game time selection means prefetches that the big hit prefetching means is not recorded in the second holding area of the data recording means when the gaming mode is set to the high probability mode. If the normal big hit counter is recorded in the first reserved area of the data recording means, the game time extension process is performed when the normal big hit prefetch means is prefetched, and the game mode is changed to the high probability mode. When the jackpot prefetching means is prefetching that the jackpot counter at the time of high accuracy is recorded in the second reserved area of the data recording means in the set state, the jackpot prefetching means is usually the first jackpot prefetching means of the data recording means. The game time extension process is not performed even when pre-reading that the normal big hit counter is recorded in the reserved area.

1. Description of the operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine according to claim 1-2 When the game ball enters the first special start opening, the update result of the big hit counter is detected, and the first holding area of the data recording means is hit big The detection result of the counter is recorded. When the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the first reserved area, it is compared with the normal big hit value, and whether or not the detection result of the big hit counter is the same normal big hit counter as the normal big hit value. Is prefetched. This normal jackpot counter is determined to be a big hit when the normal probability mode is set, and is determined to be a big hit even when the high probability mode is set.

  When the game ball enters the second special start port, the update result of the big hit counter is detected, and the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the second holding area of the data recording means. When the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the second reserved area of the data recording means, the recorded result of the big hit counter is read from the second reserved area of the data recording means, and based on the read result of the big hit counter It is determined whether or not it is a big hit. This jackpot is determined by the normal probability based on comparing the jackpot counter read result with the normal jackpot value when the normal probability mode is set, and the jackpot counter read result is normally set when the high probability mode is set. It is determined with high probability based on comparison with each of a plurality of jackpot values including the jackpot value of time. When it is determined that it is a big hit in this big hit determination process, a special symbol game time is selected from a plurality of special symbol game times for big hit, and when it is determined that it is not a big hit, a plurality of special symbol game times for losing are selected. The special symbol game time is selected from among them, and in any case, the video of the special symbol game is displayed on the second special symbol display device with the required time corresponding to the selection result of the special symbol game time. When the special symbol game image indicates that it is determined to be a big hit, a big hit game for opening and closing the special entrance is started, and the game ball is allowed to enter the special entrance.

  If the detection result of the big hit counter is not recorded in the second holding area of the data recording means and the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the first holding area, the first holding area of the data recording means The recorded result of the jackpot counter is read from the jackpot, and it is determined with a probability according to the setting result of the game mode whether or not the jackpot is based on the read result of the jackpot counter. When it is determined that it is a big hit in this big hit determination process, a special symbol game time is selected from a plurality of special symbol game times for big hit, and when it is determined that it is not a big hit, a plurality of special symbol game times for losing are selected. The special symbol game time is selected from among them, and in any case, the video of the special symbol game is displayed on the first special symbol display device with the required time corresponding to the selection result of the special symbol game time. When the special symbol game video indicates that the game is determined to be a big hit, the big hit game is started and the game ball is allowed to enter the special entrance.

  In FIG. 49, a normal big hit counter (normal big hit) is recorded in the first reserved area (special symbol game 1 column) of the data recording means in a state where the game mode is set to the high probability mode. This is for explaining the processing contents in the case. In this case, it is determined that it is not a big hit based on the big holding counter of the second reserved area, the special symbol game time is selected from a plurality of special symbol game times for losing, and the special symbol is displayed on the second special symbol display. The video of the game is displayed with the required time according to the selection result of the special symbol game time. When it is determined that the big hit counter is not a big hit when the normal big hit counter is recorded in the first holding area of the data recording means when the high probability mode is set, the normal holding time is set in the first holding area of the data recording means. Since the game time extension process is selected so that the special symbol game time is increased with a higher probability than when the big hit counter is not recorded or when the normal probability mode is set, the video of the special symbol game Is likely to be displayed in a long time. For this reason, since the probability that a game ball will win the second special starting port increases while the special symbol game video is displayed, the process of determining whether or not it is a big hit is a big hit in the second reserved area. It repeats without interruption for the counter. Therefore, the process is repeated based on the big hit counter of the second reserved area without being determined to be big hit based on the normal big hit counter of the first reserved area.

When it is determined that the big hit is based on the big holding counter of the second reserved area and the game mode is set to the normal probability mode, the game time extension process is not performed, and when the video of the special symbol game is executed in the game time extension process The probability of being displayed in a shorter required time is increased. For this reason, the probability that a game ball wins at the second special start port is lower than that during execution of the game time extension process while the special symbol game image is displayed. A state in which no counter is recorded is likely to occur. Therefore, after the game mode is switched from the high probability mode to the normal probability mode, it is determined that the game is a big hit based on the normal big hit counter of the first reserved area. While processing is given priority over one reserved area, the big hit counter can be used effectively when a big hit counter that is a big hit when the normal probability mode is set is recorded in the first reserved area.
2. Description of the action and effect of the pachinko gaming machine according to claim 3 When the game ball enters the second special start port, the update result of the big hit counter is detected, and the big hit counter is detected in the second holding area of the data recording means. The detection result is recorded. When the detection result of the big hit counter is recorded in the second reserved area, it is compared with each of a plurality of big hit values, and the detection result of the big hit counter is the same as one of a plurality of big hit values. Whether or not is prefetched. This high probability jackpot counter is determined to be a big hit when the high probability mode is set.

  FIG. 50 shows the second special start port when the normal big hit counter (normal big hit) is recorded in the first holding area of the data recording means in the state where the game mode is set to the high probability mode. This is to explain the processing contents when a game ball enters and a big hit counter (hit) is recorded in the second holding area of the data recording means. In this case, since the game time extension process is not performed at the time when the high-accuracy jackpot counter is recorded in the second reserved area of the data recording means, the video of the special symbol game is compared with the execution time of the game time extension process. The probability of being displayed in a short time is increased. For this reason, since the big hit counter recorded in the second reserved area is quickly processed, the processing corresponding to the high probability big hit counter recorded in the second reserved area may be postponed. Disappear.

The recording result of is detected.

  When the CPU 61 detects the recording result of the random counter MR5 in step S122, it determines in step S123 whether or not the probability variation flag in the flag storage unit 136 is set to the on state. This probability variation flag is reset to the off state in step S2 of FIG. 26 based on the power being turned on, and the CPU 61 determines that the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 136 is set to the on state in step S123. When it is determined, the hit determination table at the time of probability change in FIG. 13B is detected from the ROM 62 in step S124. 13 (a), the normal hit determination table is detected, and in either case, the process proceeds to step S126.

Here, when the winning determination result is selected, the winning flag of the flag storage unit 136 is set to the on state in step S127, and the winning symbol “◯” is recorded in the normal symbol storing unit 135 in step S128. When the CPU 61 selects a determination result that is out of the detection result of the hit determination table in step S126, the CPU 61 resets the hit flag in the flag storage unit 136 to an off state in step S129, and in step S130, the CPU 61 returns to the normal symbol storage unit 135 to remove the symbol “×”. Is recorded. For example, when the detection result of the random counter MR5 is “5”, a hit determination result is selected from the hit determination table at the time of probability change, and a determination result out of the normal hit determination table is selected.

  When the CPU 61 records either the symbol “◯” or the missing symbol “X” in the normal symbol storage unit 135, the CPU 61 determines in step S131 whether or not the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 136 is set to the on state. Here, when it is determined that the probability change flag of the flag storage unit 136 is set to the on state, the normal symbol game time (1 × 1000 msec) at the time of probability change is set in the normal symbol timer MT1 of the timer storage unit 137 in step S132, When it is determined that the probability variation flag in the flag storage unit 136 has been reset to the OFF state, the normal symbol game time (10 × 1000 msec) at the normal time is set in the normal symbol timer MT1 in the timer storage unit 137 in step S133. Each of the normal symbol game time at the time of probability change and the normal symbol game time at normal time is recorded in advance in the ROM 62, and when the probability variation mode is valid, the normal symbol game time is set to a constant short value, and the probability variation When the mode is disabled, the normal symbol game time is set to a certain long value.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S135 that the detection result of the random counter MR5 is recorded in the normal symbol holding data storage unit 133 of the holding number 2, it is recorded in the normal symbol holding data storage unit 133 of the holding number 2 in step S136. The random counter MR5 is shifted to the normal symbol hold data storage unit 133 with the hold number 1. Then, the process proceeds to step S137, and it is determined whether or not the detection result of the random counter MR5 is recorded in the normal symbol hold data storage unit 133 with the hold number 3. Here, when it is determined that the detection result of the random counter MR5 is not recorded in the normal symbol hold data storage unit 133 of the hold number 3, one hold LED 35 determined in advance in step S141 is turned off, and a flag is stored in step S142. “1” is set to the normal symbol process flag of the part 136.

  When the CPU 61 determines that the detection result of the random counter MR5 is recorded in the normal symbol holding data storage unit 133 with the holding number 3 in step S137, it is recorded in the normal symbol holding data storage unit 133 with the holding number 3 in step S138. The random counter MR5 is shifted to the normal symbol hold data storage unit 133 with the hold number 2. Then, the process proceeds to step S139, and it is determined whether or not the detection result of the random counter MR5 is recorded in the normal symbol hold data storage unit 133 with the hold number 4. Here, when it is determined that the detection result of the random counter MR5 is not recorded in the normal symbol hold data storage unit 133 of the hold number 4, one hold LED 35 determined in advance in step S141 is turned off, and a flag is stored in step S142. “1” is set to the normal symbol process flag of the part 136.

If the CPU 61 determines in step S139 that the detection result of the random counter MR5 is recorded in the normal symbol holding data storage unit 133 of the holding number 4, it is recorded in the normal symbol holding data storage unit 133 of the holding number 4 in step S140. The random counter MR5 is shifted to the normal symbol hold data storage unit 133 with the hold number 3. In step S141, one predetermined hold LED 35 is turned off. In step S142, the normal symbol process flag in the flag storage unit 136 is set to “1”.
[2-6-2] Normal Symbol Fluctuation Processing FIG. 35 shows the normal symbol variation processing in step S112. This normal symbol variation processing is executed when the normal symbol process flag is set to “1”, and the CPU 61 controls the normal symbol based on the blinking control of the LED of the normal symbol display 33 in step S151. Are alternately displayed in a variably displayed pattern of “○” and hit symbol “×”. Then, the remaining time of the normal symbol game is updated based on subtracting the unit value ΔT (= 4 msec) recorded in advance in the ROM 62 from the normal symbol timer MT1 of the timer storage unit 137 in step S152, and the timer is stored in step S153. The subtraction result of the normal symbol timer MT1 of the unit 137 is compared with the limit value “0” recorded in the ROM 62 in advance. Here, when “MT1 = 0” is detected, the end of the normal symbol game is determined, and “2” is set in the normal symbol process flag of the flag storage unit 136 in step S154.
[2-6-3] Normal Symbol Fluctuation Stop Processing FIG. 36 shows the normal symbol variation stop processing in step S113. This normal symbol fluctuation stop process is executed when the normal symbol process flag is set to “2”, and the CPU 61 stops the fluctuation display of the normal symbol in step S161. The stop display of the normal symbol is performed based on the setting result of the normal symbol recorded in the normal symbol storage unit 135, and when the hit is determined, the fluctuation display of the normal symbol stops at the hit symbol “O”. If it is determined that the disengagement is detected, the operation stops at the disengaged symbol “×”.

  When the CPU 61 finishes displaying the normal symbol variation in step S161, it determines in step S162 whether or not the hit flag of the flag storage unit 136 is set to ON. If it is determined that the hit flag in the flag storage unit 136 has been reset to the OFF state, the process proceeds to step S169, and the normal symbol process flag in the flag storage unit 136 is reset to “0”. Then, the process proceeds to step S170, and the recording result of the symbol “x” deviated from the normal symbol storage unit 135 is cleared. In the state where the normal symbol process flag is reset to “0”, the next timer interrupt processing shifts to the hit determination processing in step S111 of FIG. 33, and the random symbol is stored in the normal symbol holding data storage unit 133 with the holding number “1”. When the detection result of MR5 is recorded, the recording result of the random counter MR5 is detected from the normal symbol holding data storage unit 133 of the holding number “1”, and whether or not the winning is based on the detection result of the random counter MR5 The determination process is performed.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S162 that the hit flag of the flag storage unit 136 is set to the on state, the CPU 61 determines whether or not the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 136 is set to the on state in step S163. If it is determined that the probability change flag of the flag storage unit 136 is set to the on state, the game time (8 × 1000 msec) at the time of probability change is set in the normal symbol timer MT1 of the timer storage unit 137 in step S164. When it is determined that the probability variation flag of the storage unit 136 has been reset to the OFF state, the normal game time (0.8 × 1000 msec) is set in the normal symbol timer MT1 of the timer storage unit 137 in step S165.

Update wait time. In step S372, the subtraction result of the special symbol timer MT2 in the timer storage unit 137 is compared with the limit value “0”. When it is determined that “MT2 = 0”, the process proceeds to step S373.

  When proceeding to step S373, the CPU 61 determines whether or not the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 136 is set to the on state. The CPU 61 determines that the big hit flag of the flag storage unit 136 has been reset to the OFF state in step S373 when determining that it is off, and sets “0” to the special symbol process flag of the flag storage unit 136 in step S374. Then, the process proceeds to step S375, and the recording result of the symbol “1” is cleared from the special symbol storage unit 134.

In step S376, an initial value “1” is set in the big hit round counter MN1 of the counter storage unit 138. Then, the first big hit round command “B001 (h)” is set in step S377, the big hit round command “B001 (h)” is transmitted to the effect control circuit 90 in step S378, and the flag storage unit 136 in step S379. Set the special symbol process flag to “5”.
[2-8-6] Jackpot Game Processing FIG. 48 shows the jackpot game processing in step S286. This jackpot game process is executed when the special symbol process flag in the flag storage unit 136 is set to “5”, and the CPU 61 executes the jackpot round process in step S381. This big hit round process is to open the special winning opening 36 until the upper limit number (10) of game balls are won in the special winning opening 36 or the opening time of the special winning opening 36 reaches the upper limit time (30 sec). The CPU 61 closes the special winning opening 36 when determining that the upper limit number of game balls have won in the special winning opening 36 or the opening time of the special winning opening 36 has reached the upper limit time in the big hit round process of step S381. In S382, it is determined that the current big hit round has ended.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S382 that the current big hit round has ended, the CPU 61 compares the big hit round counter MN1 in the counter storage unit 138 with the final value recorded in advance in the ROM 62 in step S383. This final value is selected according to the type of the special symbol recorded in the special symbol storage unit 134. In the special symbol storage unit 134, the 2R normal big hit symbol “2” and the 2R probability variable big hit symbol “3” are displayed. When each is recorded, the final value “2” is selected. When each of the 15R normal jackpot symbol “4” and the 15R probability variable jackpot symbol “5” is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 134, the final value “2” is selected. The value “15” is selected.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S383 that “MN1 <final value”, the unit value “1” recorded in advance in the ROM 62 is added to the big hit round counter MN1 of the counter storage unit 138 in step S384. In step S385, a big hit round command is set, and in step S386, the big hit round command setting result is transmitted to the effect control circuit 90. This jackpot round command is set according to the addition result of the jackpot round counter MN1 in the counter storage unit 138. For example, when “MN1 = 2”, the second jackpot round command “B002 (h)”. Is set, and when “MN1 = 3”, the third jackpot round command “B003 (h)” is set, and when “MN1 = 14”, the fourteenth jackpot round command “B00E (h) ) ”Is set, and when“ MN1 = 15 ”, the 15th big hit round command“ B00F (h) ”is set.

  In the case where either the 2R normal jackpot symbol “2” or the 2R probability variable jackpot symbol “3” is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 134, the CPU 61 ends the final second jackpot round in step S383. When it is determined that “big hit round countered MN1 = final value” and either the 15R normal big hit symbol “4” or the 15R probability variable big hit symbol “5” is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 134, the final Based on the completion of the 15th big hit round, it is determined in step S383 that “big hit round countered MN1 = final value”. In either case, in step S387, the special symbol storage unit 134 stores the 2R probability variable big hit symbol “3. ”And 15R probability variation big hit symbol“ 5 ”is determined.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S387 that either the 2R probability variation big hit symbol “3” or the 15R probability variation big hit symbol “5” is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 134, the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 136 is turned on in step S388. Enable probability variation mode based on setting to state. If the CPU 61 determines in step S387 that either the 2R normal big hit symbol “2” or the 15R normal big hit symbol “4” is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 134, the probability variation flag in the flag storage unit 136 is turned off in step S389. Disable the probability variation mode based on resetting the state.

  When the CPU 61 sets the probability change flag of the flag storage unit 136 in step S388 or step S389, the 2R normal big hit symbol “2”, the 2R probability big hit symbol “3”, or the 15R normal big hit symbol “4” from the special symbol storage unit 134 in step S390. Or the 15R probability variation big hit symbol “5” is cleared, the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 136 is reset to OFF in step S391, and the special symbol process flag in the flag storage unit 136 is set to “0” in step S392. set. In other words, when either the 2R probability variation big hit or the 15R probability variation big hit is judged in the special symbol game 1 this time and when either the 2R probability variation big hit or the 15R probability variation big hit is judged in the special symbol game 2 this time, the big hit When the final jackpot round ends in the game, the probability variation mode is activated, and in this special symbol game 1 either the 2R normal jackpot or the 15R normal jackpot is judged and in this special symbol game 2 When either 2R normal big hit or 15R normal big hit is determined, the probability variation mode is invalidated when the final big hit round is completed in the big hit game.

  Each of FIG. 49 and FIG. 50 explains the behavior in which the special symbol game 1 and the special symbol game 2 are digested. FIG. 49 shows a state in which the probability variation mode is activated, and the special symbol game 1 with the holding number 3 is a big hit at the normal time, and the remaining special symbol games 1 and the special symbols game 1 except the special symbol game 1 with the holding number 3 Each of the symbol games 2 is out of play. In this case, it is determined in step S194 in FIG. 39 that the prefetch result “big hit” is not recorded in the prefetch information storage unit 140 for special symbol game 2, and the reserved number for special symbol game 1 in step S202 in FIG. 3, it is determined that the pre-reading result “normal big hit” is recorded in the pre-reading information storage unit 139, and the special symbol game extension flag is set to the ON state in step S <b> 200 of FIG. 39. Then, in step S291 in FIG. 42, the random counter MR1 is detected from the special symbol hold data storage unit 132 with the hold number 1 for the special symbol game 2, and it is determined in step S300 in FIG. Next, in step S311 of FIG. 43, it is determined that the probability variation flag is set to the on state, in step S313 of FIG. 43, it is determined that the special symbol game extension flag is set to the on state, and in step S315 of FIG. Then, the fluctuation start command table 2 at the time of probability change is detected, and one of the deviation start commands # 01 to # 04 for detachment is selected from the fluctuation start command table 2 at the time of probability change at step S318 in FIG. The video of the special symbol game 2 is displayed on the device 42 in the required time corresponding to any of the change start commands # 01 to # 04.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the fluctuation start command # 04 is one in which the fluctuation display time is set to the longest among the deviation fluctuation start commands # 01 to # 04, and the selection probability of the fluctuation start command # 04 is The change start command table 2 at the time of probability change is set higher than the change start command table 1 at the time of probability change. The change start command # 03 is a change display time that is set to be the second longest of the change start commands # 01 to # 04 for detachment, and the selection probability of the change start command # 03 is the change start command at the time of probability change. The table 2 is set higher than the change start command table 1 at the time of probability change. The change start command # 02 is a change display time set to the third longest of the change start commands # 01 to # 04 for detachment, and the selection probability of the change start command # 02 is the change start command at the time of the probability change. The table 2 is set higher than the change start command table 1 at the time of probability change. The change start command # 01 is a change display time set to the shortest of the change start commands # 01 to # 04 for detachment, and the selection probability of the change start command # 01 is the change start command table 2 at the time of probability change. Is set lower than the change start command table 1 at the time of probability change. For this reason, when it is determined that the special symbol game extension flag is off when the special symbol game extension flag is on in the effective state of the probability variation mode, the time required for the special symbol game 2 is off when the special symbol game extension flag is off. Longer with higher probability. In the effective state of the probability variation mode, the game ball easily wins in the lower special symbol start port 27 as compared to the invalid state of the probability variation mode, so that the special symbol game 2 is performed without interruption.

  (A) of FIG. 50 is a case where the special symbol game 2 is performed without interruption, and the special symbol game 2 is put on a big hit. In this case, it is determined in step S194 in FIG. 39 that “big hit” is recorded in the prefetch information storage unit 140, and in step S195 in FIG. 39, the special symbol game extension flag is reset from the on state to the off state. Then, in step S291 in FIG. 42, the random counter MR1 is detected from the special symbol hold data storage unit 132 with the hold number 1 for the special symbol game 2, and it is determined in step S300 in FIG. Next, in step S311 in FIG. 43, it is determined that the probability variation flag is set to the on state, in step S313 in FIG. 43, it is determined that the special symbol game extension flag is reset to the off state, and in step S314 in FIG. Then, the fluctuation start command table 1 at the time of probability change is detected, and one of the deviation start commands # 01 to # 04 for detachment is selected from the fluctuation start command table 1 at the time of probability change in step S318 in FIG. The video of the special symbol game 2 is displayed on the device 42 in the required time corresponding to any of the change start commands # 01 to # 04.

  The selection probabilities of the variation start command # 04, the variation start command # 03, and the variation start command # 02 are compared with the variation start command table 2 at the time of probability change in the variation start command table 1 at the time of probability change, as shown in FIG. Thus, the selection probability of the change start command # 01 is set higher in the change start command table 1 at the time of probability change than at the change start command table 2 at the time of probability change. Therefore, when the special symbol game extension flag is off in the effective state of the probability variation mode, the time required for the special symbol game 2 is higher than when the special symbol game extension flag is on when it is determined to be off. Shortens with probability. In the effective state of the probability variation mode in which the special symbol game extension flag is turned off, although the game ball easily wins in the lower special symbol start port 27, the special symbol game 2 is shorter than the on state of the special symbol game extension flag. Since it is performed in time, as shown in (b) of FIG. 50, a big hit comes to occur quickly in the special symbol game 2.

  After the 2R probability variation jackpot or the 15R probability variation jackpot occurs in the special symbol game 2, the probability variation flag is set to the on state in step S388 in FIG. 48, and the probability variation mode is validated. In this case, it is determined in step S191 in FIG. 39 that the probability variation flag is set to the on state, and in step S194 in FIG. 39, the prefetch result “big hit” is recorded in the prefetch information storage unit 140 for special symbol game 2. 39, it is determined in step S202 of FIG. 39 that “normal big hit” is recorded in the prefetch information storage unit 139 of the hold number 3, and the special symbol game extension flag is turned on in step S200 of FIG. Set to state. Therefore, since the special symbol game 2 is performed without interruption, a big hit is generated again in the special symbol game 2.

  After the 2R normal big hit or the 15R normal big hit occurs in the special symbol game 2, the probability variation flag is reset to the OFF state in step S389 in FIG. 48, and the probability variation mode is invalidated. In this case, it is determined in step S191 in FIG. 39 that the probability variation flag has been reset to the off state, in step S192, the special symbol game extension flag is reset to the off state, and in step S291 in FIG. 42, the special symbol game 2 is used. The random counter MR1 is detected from the special symbol hold data storage unit 132 of the hold number 1 and is determined to be out of step S300 in FIG. In step S311, it is determined that the probability variation flag has been reset to the OFF state. In step S312 in FIG. 43, a normal variation start command table is detected. In step S318 in FIG. 43, the normal variation start command table is detected. Any of the change start commands # 01 to # 04 for detachment is selected, and the video of the special symbol game 2 is displayed on the lower special symbol display 42 for the required time according to any of the change start commands # 01 to # 04. Is done.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the selection probabilities of the change start command # 04, the change start command # 03, and the change start command # 02 are as follows. The selection probability of the variation start command # 01 is set higher in the normal variation start command table than in the variation start command table 2 at the probability variation. Therefore, when it is determined that the special symbol game extension flag is off when the special symbol game extension flag is turned off in the probability variation mode invalid state, the time required for the special symbol game 2 is higher than that when the special symbol game extension flag is on. Shortens with probability. In this invalid state of the probability variation mode, the game ball is difficult to win in the lower special symbol start port 27 as compared to the effective state of the probability variation mode, so that the special symbol game 2 is more in comparison with the on state of the special symbol game extension flag. It breaks up easily. For this reason, the special symbol game 1 is easily digested compared to the on state of the special symbol game extension flag. Therefore, immediately after the probability variation mode is invalidated in the special symbol game 2, the reservation number 3 of the special symbol game 1 is set. A big hit in normal times occurs. Therefore, the special symbol reservation data storage unit 132 for the special symbol game 1 is processed while giving priority to the special symbol reservation data storage unit 132 for the special symbol game 2 in preference to the special symbol reservation data storage unit 131 for the special symbol game 1. The random counter MR1 can be used effectively when the random counter MR1 that is a big hit at the normal time is recorded.

[13-3] Decoration Symbol Game Processing FIG. 55 shows the decoration symbol game processing in step S413, and the CPU 91 determines the setting state of the game start flag in the flag storage unit 152 in step S461. If it is determined that the game start flag in the flag storage unit 152 is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S462, and the game start flag in the flag storage unit 152 is reset to the off state. In step S463, the in-game flag in the flag storage unit 152 is set to an on state, and a preparation process for starting the current decorative symbol game is executed in the decorative symbol game start process in step S464.

  When proceeding to step S465, the CPU 91 determines whether or not the in-game flag in the flag storage unit 152 is set to the on state. For example, in the state where the decorative symbol game start process in step S464 is completed, it is determined in step S465 that the in-game flag in the flag storage unit 152 is set to the on state, and in step S466, the unit value ΔT ( = 10 msec) is added to the variable time timer ST1 of the timer storage unit 153. This variable time timer ST1 is reset to the initial value “0” in the decorative symbol game start process in step S464. In step S466, the elapsed time of the decorative symbol game is based on the addition of the variable time timer ST1. It is measured.

  When CPU 91 adds variable time timer ST1 in step S466, CPU 91 executes the decorative symbol game in the decorative symbol game processing in step S467, and proceeds to the notice effect processing in step S468. This notice effect process is to display the notice effect video on the decorative symbol display 43, and whether or not to display the notice effect image is determined in the decorative symbol game start process in step S464.

When proceeding to step S469, the CPU 91 determines whether or not the game stop flag in the flag storage unit 152 is set to the on state. For example, when the variable stop command “8100 (h)” is transmitted from the main control circuit 60, the game stop flag of the flag storage unit 152 is set to the on state by the command analysis processing of FIG. 53, and the CPU 91 sets the flag storage unit in step S469. It is determined that the game stop flag 152 is set to the on state. In this case, the in-game flag in the flag storage unit 152 is reset to the off state in step S470, the game stop flag in the flag storage unit 152 is reset to the off state in step S471, and the process proceeds to the decorative symbol game stop process in step S472. To do.
[13-3-1] Decoration Symbol Game Start Processing Each of FIGS. 56 to 60 shows the decoration symbol game start processing of step S464, and the CPU 91 executes a change start command from the command storage unit 151 in step S481 of FIG. EXT data is detected from the detection result of the fluctuation start command. In step S482, the process data table of FIG. 17 is detected from the ROM 92, and the process data number corresponding to the detection result of the EXT data of the change start command is selected from the process data table.

  When the CPU 91 selects a process data number in step S482, the CPU 91 selects process data corresponding to the selection result of the process data number from the ROM 92 in step S483, and is recorded in advance in the ROM 92 in the variable time timer ST1 of the timer storage unit 153 in step S484. The initial value “0” is set. In step S485, the decorative design game video data number table of FIG. 19 is detected from the ROM 92, and the video data number corresponding to the process data number selection result is selected from the decorative design game video data number table.

  When the CPU 91 selects the video data number for the decorative symbol game in step S485, the CPU 91 transmits the selection result of the video data number for the decorative symbol game to the display control circuit 100 in step S486. In step S487, the recording result of the symbol information command 1 or the recording result of the symbol information command 2 is detected from the command storage unit 151, and the EXT data is detected from the detection result of the symbol information command 1 or the detection result of the symbol information command 2. . When the display control circuit 100 receives the selection result of the video data number, the display control circuit 100 selects the video data for decoration symbol game corresponding to the reception result of the video data number from the VROM, and develops the selection result of the video data in the VRAM.

  When the CPU 91 detects the EXT data from the detection result of the symbol information command 1 or the detection result of the symbol information command 2 in step S487, the big hit determination value “02 (h) recorded in advance in the ROM 92 on the detection result of the EXT data in step S488. “03 (h)” “04 (h)” “05 (h)”. Here, when it is determined that the detection result of the EXT data is the same as one of the jackpot determination values “02 (h)” to “05 (h)”, the decoration symbol is set to the combination of the jackpot in the jackpot symbol setting process in step S489. In step S493, the set result of the big hit symbol combination is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155.

  FIG. 57 shows the big hit symbol setting process in step S489. The CPU 91 detects the symbol table 1 in FIG. 24A from the ROM 92 in step S501. In step S502, the update result of the random counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 154, and the process proceeds to step S503. Here, a symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the symbol table 1, 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 a common symbol element selection result. To do. For example, when the detection 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 jackpot combination “777”. Then, the decorative symbol is recorded in the confirmed symbol storage unit 155 as a jackpot combination “777”.

  If the CPU 91 determines in step S488 in FIG. 56 that the detection result of the EXT data is different from any of the jackpot determination values “02 (h)” to “05 (h)”, the EXT data of the change start command is determined in step S490. Is compared with a complete deviation determination value “01 (h)” recorded in advance in the ROM 92. If it is determined that the detection result of the EXT data is different from the complete detachment determination value “01 (h)”, the process proceeds to the detachment symbol setting process in step S491. Here, the decorative symbol is set as a combination of outliers, and the setting result of the combination of outliers is recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155 in step S493.

  FIG. 58 shows an outreach symbol setting process in step S491. The CPU 91 detects the symbol table 1 in FIG. 24A from the ROM 92 in step S511, and from the ROM 92 in FIG. 24B in step S512. The symbol table 2 is detected. In step S513, the update result of the random counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 154. In step S514, the symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the symbol table 1, and the symbol element in the left column and the right column are selected. Each of the symbol elements is set as a common symbol element selection result. For example, when “SR1 = 200”, the symbol element “7” is selected, and the symbol element in the left column and the symbol element in the right column are set to a common “7”.

  When the CPU 91 sets each of the symbol elements in the left column and the right column in step S514, the CPU 91 detects the update result of the random counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S515. In step S516, a symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR2 is selected from the symbol table 2, and the symbol element in the middle row is set as the symbol element selection result. For example, when “SR2 = 50”, the symbol element “3” is selected, and the symbol element in the middle row is set to “3”.

  When the CPU 91 sets a symbol element in the middle row in step S516, the CPU 91 proceeds to step S517. Here, the setting result of the middle row of the symbol elements is compared with the setting result of the left row of symbol elements, and when it is determined that they are different, the left row of symbol elements is stored in the confirmed symbol storage unit 155 in step 493 of FIG. And the setting results of the symbol elements in the middle row and the symbol elements in the right row are recorded. For example, when the setting result of the left column and the setting element of the right column is “7” and the setting result of the middle column is “3”, the decoration symbol is not in the fixed symbol storage unit 155. It is recorded with the reach combination “737”.

  If CPU 91 determines in step S517 of FIG. 58 that the setting result of the middle row of symbol elements and the setting result of the left row of symbol elements are the same, in step 518, the setting result of the middle row of symbol elements is obtained in step S516. The symbol element is changed to the symbol element next to the symbol element, and the setting results of the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column are recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155 in step 493 in FIG. For example, if each of the left column symbol element setting result and middle column symbol element setting result is “8”, the middle column symbol element setting result is changed to “1” next to “8” and confirmed. A decorative symbol is recorded in the symbol storage unit 155 as a combination “818” of detachment reach.

  If the CPU 91 determines in step S490 of FIG. 56 that the detection result of the EXT data of the variation start command is the same as the complete detachment determination value “01 (h)”, the CPU 91 proceeds to the complete detachment symbol setting process in step S492. Here, the decorative symbol is set to a completely unacceptable combination, and the setting result of the completely unacceptable combination is recorded in the confirmed symbol storage unit 155 in step S493. FIG. 59 shows the complete out symbol setting process in step S492. The CPU 91 detects the symbol table 1 in FIG. 24A from the ROM 92 in step S521, and from the ROM 92 in FIG. 24B in step S522. The symbol table 2 is detected, and the symbol table 3 of FIG. 24C is detected from the ROM 92 in step S523. In step S524, the update result of the random counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 154. In step S525, the symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR1 is selected from the symbol table 1 and set as the symbol element in the left column. .

  When the CPU 91 sets the symbol elements in the left column in step S525, the CPU 91 detects the update result of the random counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S526. In step S527, a symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR2 is selected from the symbol table 2, and the symbol element in the middle row is set as the symbol element selection result. When the CPU 91 sets the symbol elements in the middle row in step S527, the CPU 91 detects the update result of the random counter SR3 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S528. In step S529, a symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the random counter SR3 is selected from the symbol table 3, and the symbol element in the right column is set as the symbol element selection result.

  If CPU91 sets the symbol element of the right column by step S529, it will transfer to step S530. Here, the setting result of the left column symbol element is compared with the setting result of the right column symbol element, and when it is determined that they are different, the left column symbol element and the middle column symbol element are determined in step 493 of FIG. And the setting results of the symbol elements in the right column are recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 155. For example, when the setting result of the symbol element in the left column is “8”, the setting result of the symbol element in the right column is “7”, and the setting result of the symbol element in the middle column is “1”, the decoration symbol is stored in the fixed symbol storage unit 155. Is recorded as a completely out-of-combination combination “817”.

  If the CPU 91 determines in step S530 that the setting result of the left column symbol element and the right column symbol element setting result are the same, in step S531, the right column symbol element setting result is the symbol element of step S529. Change to the next symbol element, and record the setting results of the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column in the determined symbol storage unit 155 in step 493 of FIG. For example, when the setting result of the symbol element in the left column is “8”, the setting result of the symbol element in the right column is “8”, and the setting result of the symbol element in the middle column is “1”, the setting result of the symbol element in the right column Is changed to “1” next to “8”, and the decoration symbol is recorded in the confirmed symbol storage unit 155 with the combination “811” that is completely off.

  When the CPU 91 sets the confirmed symbol storage unit 155 in step S493 of FIG. 56, the CPU 91 detects MODE data from the detection result of the symbol information command 1 or the detection result of the symbol information command 2 in step S494, and stores the detection result of the MODE data in the ROM 92. It is compared with a pre-recorded mode determination value “91 (h)”. If it is determined that “MODE data = 91 (h)”, the mode display command 1 is transmitted to the display control circuit 100 in step S495. If it is determined that “MODE data = 91 (h)”, it is determined in step S496. Then, the mode display command 2 is transmitted to the display control circuit 100.

  When the display control circuit 100 receives the mode display command 1, the display control circuit 100 detects image data corresponding to the mode display command 1 from the VROM, and “1” in the game mode area 46 of the decorative symbol display 43 based on the detection result of the image data. "Game mode picture 47" is displayed. When the display control circuit 100 receives the mode display command 2, the display control circuit 100 detects image data corresponding to the mode display command 2 from the VROM, and “2” in the game mode area 46 of the decorative symbol display 43 based on the detection result of the image data. "Game mode picture 47" is displayed. That is, when the decorative symbol game is performed in conjunction with the special symbol game 1, the game mode symbol 47 of “1” is displayed on the decorative symbol display 43, and when the decorative symbol game is performed in conjunction with the special symbol game 2. A game mode pattern 47 of “2” is displayed on the decorative symbol display 43.

  When the CPU 91 transmits a mode display command to the display control circuit 100 in step S495 or step S496, the CPU 91 transmits a reproduction start command to the display control circuit 100 in step S497, and transmits a pending erase command to the display control circuit 100 in step S498. When the display control circuit 100 receives the reproduction start command, it starts reproduction of the decorative symbol game video data expanded in the VRAM, and the decorative symbol display unit 43 displays the decorative symbol corresponding to the video data selection result. Start displaying background video for gaming. When the display control circuit 100 receives the hold erasure command, the display control circuit 100 deletes one hold picture 45 from the hold area 44 of the decorative symbol display 43, and displays the number of the hold picture 45 displayed as the special symbol game 1 and the special symbol game 2. To match the total number of holds.

  When the CPU 91 transmits a hold deletion command in step S498, the CPU 91 proceeds to a notice effect determination process in step S499. FIG. 60 shows the notice effect determination process in step S499, and the CPU 91 detects the update result of the random counter SR4 from the counter storage unit 154 in step S541. Then, in step S542, it is determined whether or not the continuous notice command 1 is recorded in the command storage unit 151. When it is determined that the continuous notice command 1 is recorded in the command storage unit 151, the process proceeds to step S543. Here, the continuous notice command 1 is cleared from the command storage unit 151, and the process proceeds to step S546.

  If the CPU 91 determines that the continuous notice command 1 is not recorded in the command storage unit 151 in step S542, the CPU 91 determines whether or not the continuous notice command 2 is recorded in the command storage unit 151 in step S544, and the command storage unit 151. If it is determined that the continuous notice command 2 is recorded, the process proceeds to step S545. Here, the continuous notice command 2 is cleared from the command storage unit 151, and the process proceeds to step S546.

  When the CPU 91 proceeds to step S546, it compares the detection result of the random counter SR4 with each of the 81 notice determination values “0 to 80” recorded in advance in the ROM 92. Here, when it is determined that the detection result of the random counter SR4 is the same as any one of the notice determination values “0 to 80”, it is determined that there is a notice effect, and the detection result of the random counter SR4 is the notice determination value “0 to 80”. When it is determined that they are different from both, it is determined that there is no notice effect. In other words, when the continuous notice command 1 or the continuous notice command 2 is transmitted from the main control circuit 60, it is determined with a probability of “81/101” that the image of the notice effect is displayed.

  If the CPU 91 determines that the continuous notice command 2 is not recorded in the command storage unit 151 in step S544, the six notice determination values “0 to 5” recorded in advance in the ROM 92 as the detection result of the random counter SR4 in step S547. Compare with each of the above. Here, when it is determined that the detection result of the random counter SR4 is the same as any one of the notice determination values “0 to 5”, it is determined that there is a notice effect, and the detection result of the random counter SR4 is the notice determination value “0 to 5”. When it is determined that they are different from both, it is determined that there is no notice effect. That is, when neither the continuous notice command 1 nor the continuous notice command 2 is transmitted from the main control circuit 60, it is determined with a probability of “6/101” that the image of the notice effect is displayed.

  When determining whether or not there is a notice effect in step S546 or step S547, the CPU 91 compares the result of determining whether or not there is a notice effect in step S548 with the presence of the notice effect. Here, when it is determined that the presence / absence of the notice effect is present, the notice effect flag in the flag storage unit 152 is set to the on state in step S549, and the result of the presence / absence of the notice effect is no notice effect. If it is determined, the notice effect flag in the flag storage unit 152 is reset to the off state in step S550.

The continuous notice command 1 is in the probability variation mode valid state and the special symbol holding data storage unit 132 for the special symbol game 1 is not recorded in the special symbol holding data storage unit 132 for the special symbol game 2 and is normally stored in the special symbol holding data storage unit 131 for the special symbol game 1 Is sent when a special jackpot is recorded, and the special symbol holding data storage unit 132 for the special symbol game 2 is not recorded in the special symbol game 2 for the special symbol game 1 in the effective state of the probability variation mode. In the case where a special bonus game is recorded in the special symbol hold data storage unit 131, each time until the normal bonus game recorded in the special symbol hold data storage unit 131 for the special symbol game 1 is processed. In the special symbol game 1 or the special symbol game 2, the continuous notice command 1 is transmitted, and in the decorative symbol game, the video of the notice effect is continuously displayed with a high probability. The continuous notice command 2 is transmitted when the jackpot is recorded in the special symbol holding data storage unit 132 for the special symbol game 2 in the effective state of the probability variation mode, and the special symbol is displayed in the effective state of the probability variation mode. When a big hit is recorded in the special symbol hold data storage unit 132 for the game 2, each special symbol game until the big hit recorded in the special symbol hold data storage unit 132 for the special symbol game 2 is processed 2, a continuous notice command 2 is transmitted, and a notice effect video is continuously displayed with high probability in the decorative symbol game.

When it is determined that the process timer set value PT02 for the fluctuation stop command of the current row has been reached, the setting result of the right row of symbol elements is detected from the fixed symbol storage unit 155, and the detection result of the right row of symbol elements is detected by the display control circuit 100. Each change stop command in the right column is transmitted in order. When the display control circuit 100 receives the fluctuation stop command in the right column, the display control circuit 100 stops the fluctuation display of the symbol element in the right column at the reception result, and receives the symbol element in the right column in the right fluctuation region R of the decorative symbol display 43. Display results in a static state. Each of (c) and (d) in FIG. 61 shows an image in which the symbol elements in the right column have stopped changing, and when the decorative symbol is set to either a jackpot combination or a combination of outreach. As shown in FIG. 61 (d), when the symbol elements in the left column and the symbol elements in the right column have the same reach combination, and the decorative symbol is set to a completely out of combination As shown in FIG. 61 (c), the symbol elements in the left column and the symbol elements in the right column are not a combination of reach.

  As shown in FIG. 18, each of the process data # 01 to # 08 is commonly set with a middle column variation stop command, and the CPU 91 indicates that the addition result of the variation time timer ST1 in the timer storage unit 153 is the middle column. When it is determined that the process timer set value PT03 for the fluctuation stop command of the second row has been reached, the setting result of the middle row of symbol elements is detected from the fixed symbol storage unit 155, and the detection result of the middle row of symbol elements is detected by the display control circuit 100. Send each of the middle-line variable stop commands in order. When the display control circuit 100 receives the middle row variation stop command, the display control circuit 100 stops the variation display of the middle row symbol elements at the reception result, and receives the middle row symbol elements in the middle variation area C of the decorative symbol display 43. Display results in a static state. Each of (e) to (g) in FIG. 61 shows an image in which the symbol elements in the middle row are suspended, and when the decorative symbol is set to a completely out of combination, (e) in FIG. ) Based on the fact that the middle row of design elements stops changing, the left row of design elements, the middle row of design elements, and the right row of design elements are completely out of combination, and the decorative design is out of reach. When the combination is set, as shown in FIG. 61 (f), the symbol elements in the left column, the symbol elements in the middle column, and the symbols in the right column are stopped based on the fact that the symbol elements in the middle column stop changing. When the element is a combination of detachment reach and the decorative symbol is set to a jackpot combination, as shown in FIG. The symbol elements in the middle row, the symbol elements in the middle row, and the symbol elements in the right row become a jackpot combination.

If it is determined that the notice effect flag in the flag storage unit 152 is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S562, and the addition result of the variable time timer ST1 in the timer storage unit 153 is compared with the notice effect start time. The notice effect start time coincides with the transmission timing of the middle row variation stop command, and the CPU 91 detects the process timer setting value PT03 for the middle row variation stop command from the process data selection result, and sets the process timer. The detection result of the value PT03 is used as the notice effect start time.

If the CPU 91 determines that “ST1 = notice effect start time” in step S562, it transmits a notice effect command to the display control circuit 100 in step S563, and resets the notice effect flag in the flag storage unit 152 to the off state in step S564. To do. When the display control circuit 100 receives the notice effect command, the display control circuit 100 detects image data corresponding to the notice effect command from the VROM, and displays the notice pattern 48 on the decorative symbol display 43 based on the detection result of the image data. The notice pattern 48 is displayed by superimposing the detection result of the image data on the front of the video data for the decorative symbol game, and the display control circuit 100 receives the all diagram variation start command in the next decorative symbol game. Based on this, the notice picture 48 is deleted.
[13-3-4] Decoration Symbol Game Stop Processing FIG. 63 shows the decoration symbol game stop processing in step S472, and the CPU 91 transmits a reproduction stop command to the display control circuit 100 in step S571. The display control circuit 100 stops the reproduction process of the video data for the decorative symbol game based on the reception of the reproduction stop command, and the decorative symbol display 43 until the all graphic variation start command is received in the next decorative symbol game. Each of the symbol elements in the left column, the middle column, and the symbol elements in the right column is continuously displayed stationary in a variable stop state.

  When the CPU 91 transmits a playback stop command in step S571, in step S572, the left symbol element setting result, the middle symbol element setting result, and the right symbol element setting result are respectively stored from the confirmed symbol storage unit 155. clear. In step S573, the variation time timer ST1 of the timer storage unit 153 is reset to “0”, and in step S574, the recording result of the variation start command is cleared from the command storage unit 151.

In step S574, the CPU 91 clears the recording result of the variation start command from the command storage unit 151. In step S575, the CPU 91 detects the recording result of the symbol information command 1 or symbol information command 2 from the command storage unit 151, and the symbol information command 1 or symbol. The EXT data is detected from the detection result of the information command 2, and it is determined whether or not the detection result of the EXT data is the out symbol determination value “01 (h)” recorded in the ROM 92 in advance. If it is determined that the detection result of the EXT data is out and the symbol determination value is “01 (h)”, the process proceeds to step S576, and the recording result of the symbol information command 1 or symbol information command 2 is cleared from the command storage unit 151. .
[13-4] Jackpot Game Processing FIG. 64 shows the jackpot game processing in step S414, and the CPU 91 determines in step S581 whether or not the jackpot round flag in the flag storage unit 152 is set to the on state. If it is determined that the big hit round flag in the flag storage unit 152 is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S582, and the big hit round flag in the flag storage unit 152 is reset to the off state. In step S583, the big hit round command recording result is detected from the command storage unit 151, and the EXT data is detected from the big hit round command detection result.

  When the CPU 91 detects the EXT data in step S583, the CPU 91 detects the video data number for the jackpot game corresponding to the detection result of the EXT data from the video data number table for the jackpot game in FIG. In step S585, the detection result of the video data number for the big hit game is transmitted to the display control circuit 100, and a reproduction start command is transmitted to the display control circuit 100 in step S586. When the display control circuit 100 receives the video data number for the big hit game, it detects the video data for the big hit game according to the reception result of the video data number from the video data table for the big hit game shown in FIG. Is received, the video corresponding to the current big hit round is displayed on the decorative symbol display 43 based on reproducing the detection result of the video data for the big hit game.

  In step S586, the CPU 91 transmits a reproduction start command to the display control circuit 100, and in step S587, compares the detection result of the EXT data with the probability variation effect determination value “02 (h)” predetermined in the ROM 92. If it is determined that “EXT data = probability effect determination value” is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S593, and the recording result of the big hit round command is cleared from the command storage unit 151.

  When CPU 91 determines that “EXT data = probability effect determination value” in step S587, CPU 91 detects the recording result of symbol information command 1 or symbol information command 2 from command storage 151 in step S588, and symbol information command 1 or symbol. EXT data is detected from the detection result of the information command 2. In step S589, the detection result of the EXT data is compared with each of the probability change determination values “03 (h)” and “05 (h)” recorded in advance in the ROM 92, and the detection result of the EXT data is determined as the probability change determination value “03. When it is determined that it is the same as either “(h)” or “05 (h)”, a probability variation big hit effect command is transmitted to the display control circuit 100 in step S590. Next, in step S592, the recording result of the symbol information command 1 or symbol information command 2 is cleared from the command storage unit 151. In step S593, the recording result of the big hit round command is cleared from the command storage unit 151.

  If the CPU 91 determines in step S589 that the detection result of the EXT data is different from both of the probability variation determination values “03 (h)” and “05 (h)”, the normal control game effect command is sent to the display control circuit 100 in step S591. Send. In step S592, the recording result of the symbol information command 1 or 2 is cleared from the command storage unit 151. In step S593, the recording result of the big hit round command is cleared from the command storage unit 151.

  In the second big hit round, an image of the probability variation lottery effect is displayed on the decorative symbol display 43 based on the detection result of the video data, and the display control circuit 100 receives the probability variation big hit effect command at the start of the second big hit round. When this is done, image data corresponding to the promiscuous jackpot effect command is detected from the VROM, and when the normal jackpot effect command is received, image data corresponding to the normal jackpot effect command is detected from the VROM. As shown in FIG. 7, the image data corresponding to the probability change big hit effect command is for displaying a probability change notification pattern 50 of “Yattane probability change”, and the display control circuit 100 is in a state in which the card pattern 49 is face down. The probability change notification pattern 50 of “Yattane probability variation” is displayed based on the result of superimposing the image data detection result on the pattern 49 of the face-up card at the timing of turning over to the face-up state. Inform. Usually, the image data corresponding to the big hit effect command is for displaying the uncertain change notification picture 51 of “Sorry for seeing”, and the display control circuit 100 turns the card picture 49 from the face-down state to the face-up state. An uncertain change notification pattern 51 of “Sorry for seeing” is displayed on the basis of the detection result of the image data superimposed on the pattern 49 of the face-up card at the timing to notify the player that the normal big hit has been determined.

  FIG. 65 shows a special symbol variation start process executed by the CPU 61 of the main control circuit 60 in place of the special symbol variation start process of FIG. 43. The CPU 61 executes the special symbol game extension of the flag storage unit 136 in step S313. When it is determined that the flag is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S347, and it is determined whether or not the number of times the special symbol game 2 is held is one. The number of times the special symbol game 2 is held is determined based on the setting state of the special symbol hold data recording unit 132 for the special symbol game 2, and the CPU 61 randomly selects the special symbol hold data recording unit 132 with the hold number 2. When the counter MR1 is not recorded, it is determined that the number of times of holding is one. When the random counter MR1 is recorded in the special symbol holding data recording unit 132 of the holding number 2, the number of times of holding is one. Judge that there is no.

  When the CPU 61 determines in step S347 that the special symbol game 2 is held once, the CPU 61 detects the change start command table 2 at the time of probability change in step S315. In step S347, the special symbol game 2 is held once. When it is determined that there is no change, the fluctuation start command table 1 at the time of the probability change is detected in step S314. In other words, when it is determined that the special symbol game extension flag is off and the special symbol game 2 is held off, the special symbol game 2 is extended when the number of times the special symbol game 2 is held is 1, and the special symbol game 2 is extended. In the case where the number of holdings is any of 2 to 4, the time required for the special symbol game 2 is not extended.

  In each of the above-described Examples 1 and 2, the special symbol game extension flag is used when the special symbol game extension flag is on and the priority processing flag is set to the on state. When the priority processing flag is reset to the off state in the on state, the change start command table 1 at the time of probability change may be used. In other words, when it is determined that the special symbol game extension flag is off, the time required for the special symbol game 2 may be extended, and the time required for the special symbol game 1 may not be extended.

  In each of the first and second embodiments, a game ball is placed in the lower special symbol starting port 27 through the gap between the two blades 29 in the closed state of the two blade plates 29 of the lower special symbol starting port 27. It may be configured to win. In the case of this configuration, it is preferable to form a gap of a size that allows a game ball to pass between each of the blade plates 29 and the upper special symbol start opening 25 in the closed state of both blade plates 29. That is, between the reduced state where it is difficult to enter compared to the expanded state and the expanded state in which the lower special symbol starting port 27 can enter the game ball rolling in the game area 21 of the game board 16. It may be switched with.

  In each of the above-described Examples 1 and 2, a pocket-shaped normal symbol starting port having an upper surface may be used instead of the gate-shaped normal symbol starting port 23 having an upper surface and a lower surface opened.

In each of the first and second embodiments, two first special start ports may be fixed in the game area 21 of the game board 16.
In each of the first and second embodiments, two second special start ports may be fixed in the game area 21 of the game board 16. In the case of this configuration, both the second special start ports are connected to a common inlet, and the inlet is preferably switched between the open state and the closed state in conjunction with the on / off of the electromagnetic solenoid. That is, when the entrance is open, the game ball is allowed to win each of the second special start ports from the entrance, and when the entrance is closed, the game ball wins each of the second special start ports. May be prohibited.

  In each of the first and second embodiments, the selection probability of the change start command # 01 and the selection probability of the change start command # 02 in the change start command table 2 at the time of probability change are stored in the change start command table 1 at the time of probability change. The selection probability of the change start command # 03 and the selection probability of the change start command # 04 in the change start command table 2 at the time of probability change are set higher than those of the change start command table 1 at the time of probability change. May be.

  In each of the first and second embodiments, two types of long value (for example, 30 sec) and short value (for example, 0.8 sec) are recorded in advance in the ROM 62 of the main control circuit 60 as the duration of the big hit round. A short value is selected as the duration of the big hit round when each of the normal big hit and 2R probability variation big hit is judged, and a long value as the duration of the big hit round when each of the 15R normal big hit and 15R probability variation big hit is judged. It is good also as a structure which selects a value.

  In each of the first and second embodiments, when the 2R normal big hit and the 15R normal big hit are respectively determined, the time reduction mode may be validated at the time when the final big hit round ends. This time reduction mode is a mode in which it is determined with a normal probability that a big hit is based on comparing the detection result of the random counter MR1 with a normal big hit value, and the total of the special symbol game 1 and the special symbol game 2 Even if the number of executions reaches a predetermined limit value (for example, 40 times), it is invalidated when it is not determined that the game is a big hit. When this time shortening mode is effective, a short value is selected as the normal symbol game time, a long value is selected as the winning game time, and the game ball can easily win the lower special symbol start port 27 in the same manner as when the probability variation mode is effective. To do. When the time reduction mode is valid, the special symbol reservation data storage unit 132 for special figure 2 is not recorded in the special symbol reservation data storage unit 132 but the special symbol reservation data storage unit 131 for special figure 1 is recorded. In this case, the special symbol game extension flag is set to the on state, and the special symbol game 2 is required by selecting the variation start command and the variation display time according to the detection result of the random counter MR2 from the variation start command table 2. It is good to extend the time with a high probability. If the special symbol hold data storage unit 132 for special figure 2 is recorded in the special symbol holding data storage unit 132 when this time reduction mode is valid, the special symbol game extension flag is reset to the off state, and the special symbol holding data for special figure 1 is reset. When the normal jackpot is not recorded in the storage 131, the special symbol game extension flag is reset to the off state.

  In each of the first and second embodiments, the normal symbol game time may be set to be the same in each of the valid state and the invalid state of the probability variation mode. Also in this case, since the hit probability determined to be a hit in the effective state of the probability variation mode is increased compared to the invalid state of the probability variation mode, the lower special symbol start port 27 is changed to the invalid state of the probability variation mode. It is opened more frequently than it is.

  In each of the first and second embodiments, the winning game time may be set to be the same in each of the valid state and the invalid state of the probability variation mode. Also in this case, since the hit probability determined to be a hit in the effective state of the probability variation mode is increased compared to the invalid state of the probability variation mode, the lower special symbol start port 27 is changed to the invalid state of the probability variation mode. It is opened more frequently than it is.

  In each of the above-described Examples 1 and 2, when the special symbol game extension flag is set to the on state, the special symbol game extension flag is reset to the off state in the effective state of the probability variation mode. Thus, a game time extension process may be performed in which the variable display time is selected so that the variable display time becomes long with a high probability and the variable display time becomes long with a low probability as compared with the invalid state of the probability variable mode.

  In each of the above-described Examples 1 and 2, when the special symbol game extension flag is reset to the off state in the effective state of the probability variation mode, according to the detection result of the random counter MR2 from the normal variation start command table If the special symbol game extension flag is set to the on state in the probability variation mode valid state, the random display is selected from the variation start command table 1 at the time of probability change or the variation start command table 2 at the time of probability change. You may select the fluctuation | variation display time according to the detection result of counter MR2. That is, when it is determined that the game mode is set to the high probability mode and that it is not a big hit, it is prefetched that the normal big hit counter is not recorded in the first holding area of the data recording means. Is selected when the special symbol game time is selected to be the same as when the normal probability mode is set, and the game mode is set to the high probability mode and it is determined that the game is not a big hit. Special symbol game so that the special symbol game time becomes longer with a higher probability than when the normal probability mode is set when it is prefetched that the normal jackpot counter is recorded in the first holding area of the recording means You may perform the game time extension process which selects time.
