In this process, the main CPU 66 sets the value (02) indicating the special symbol display time management to the control state flag when the control state flag is the value (01) indicating the special symbol variation time management. Set the waiting time after confirmation to the waiting time timer. That is, after the waiting time after the determination, the special symbol display time management process described later, that is, the process of step S74 is set to be executed.

  In step S74, the main CPU 66 executes a special symbol display time management process. In this process, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not it is a big hit when the control state flag is a value (02) indicating special symbol display time management and the waiting time after determination has elapsed. In the case of a big hit, the main CPU 66 sets a value (03) indicating the big hit start interval management in the control state flag, and sets a time corresponding to the big hit start interval in the waiting time timer. That is, after the time corresponding to the big hit start interval has elapsed, the big hit start interval management process described later, that is, the process of step S75 is executed.

  On the other hand, the main CPU 66 sets a value (08) indicating the end of the special symbol game when it is not a big hit. That is, it is set to execute a special symbol game end process described later, that is, the process of step S81. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S75.

  If the main CPU 66 determines in step S75 that it is a big hit, it executes a big hit start interval management process. In this process, the main CPU 66 has a value (03) indicating the big hit start interval management in the control state flag, and when the time corresponding to the big hit start interval has elapsed, Based on the data read from the ROM 68, the variables positioned in the main RAM 70 are updated. The main CPU 66 sets a value (04) indicating that the special winning opening is being opened to the control state flag, and sets an open upper limit time (for example, 30 seconds) to the special winning opening open timer. That is, it is set to execute a process for opening a special prize opening, which will be described later, that is, the process of step S76.

  In step S76, the main CPU 66 executes a special winning opening opening process. In this process, when the control state flag is a value (04) indicating that the big prize opening is being opened, the main CPU 66 has passed the condition that the big prize opening prize counter is a predetermined number or more, and the opening upper limit time (large). It is determined whether or not any of the conditions that the winning opening opening time timer is “0” is satisfied (a predetermined closing condition is satisfied).

  The main CPU 66 updates a variable positioned in the main RAM 70 in order to close the special winning opening 25 when any one of the conditions is satisfied. Then, the main CPU 66 sets a value (05) indicating management of the winning ball residual ball in the control state flag. The main CPU 66 sets the winning ball remaining ball management time in the waiting time timer. In other words, after the time for managing the remaining balls in the big prize opening elapses, it is set to execute the process for managing the residual balls in the big prize mouth described later, that is, the process of step S77.

  In step S77, the main CPU 66 executes a special winning opening residual ball management process. In this process, the main CPU 66 indicates that the control state flag is a value (05) indicating the management of the winning ball remaining ball and the remaining winning ball management time elapses in the winning game opening count counter. It is determined whether or not the condition that the number of times of opening is equal to or greater than the maximum value (the final round) is satisfied.

  When this condition is satisfied, the main CPU 66 sets a value (07) indicating the jackpot end interval in the control state flag, and sets a time corresponding to the jackpot end interval in the waiting time timer. That is, after the time corresponding to the jackpot end interval has elapsed, the jackpot end interval process described later, that is, the process of step S80 is executed.

  On the other hand, when this condition is not satisfied, the main CPU 66 sets a value (06) indicating management of the special winning opening reopening waiting time in the control state flag. Further, the main CPU 66 sets a time corresponding to the interval between rounds in the waiting time timer. In other words, after the time corresponding to the interval between rounds has elapsed, the waiting time management process before reopening the big winning opening described later, that is, the process of step S78 is executed.

  In step S78, the main CPU 66 executes the waiting time management process before reopening the big prize opening when it is determined that the big prize opening number counter is not equal to or larger than the maximum value of the big prize opening number. In this process, the main CPU 66 sets the special prize opening number counter to “0” when the control state flag is a value (06) indicating the big prize opening reopening waiting time management and the time corresponding to the interval between rounds has elapsed. Update the memory so that it increases by 1 ″. The main CPU 66 sets a value (04) indicating that the special winning opening is open in the control state flag. The main CPU 66 sets an opening upper limit time (for example, 30 seconds) in the big prize opening time timer. In other words, the above-described process for opening the special winning opening, that is, the process of step S76 is set to be executed again.

  Then, when the main CPU 66 determines that the big prize opening number counter is equal to or larger than the maximum value of the big opening number, the big hit end interval process shown in step S80, that is, the process of step S80 is executed. Although the details will be described later in this process, the main CPU 66 indicates that the special symbol game has ended when the control state flag is a value (07) indicating the jackpot end interval and the time corresponding to the jackpot end interval has elapsed. The value (08) is set in the control state flag. That is, it is set to execute a special symbol game end process described later, that is, the process of step S81. Further, the main CPU 66 performs control to shift to the probability changing state or the time saving state.

  Then, the main CPU 66 executes the special symbol game end process of step S81 when the big hit gaming state is ended or when it is out of play. Although details will be described later in this process, the main CPU 66 decrements the data indicating the number of holdings (starting storage information) by “1” when the control state flag is a value (08) indicating the end of the special symbol game. The memory is updated as follows. Then, the main CPU 66 updates the special symbol storage area in order to perform the next fluctuation display. The main CPU 66 sets a value (00) indicating a special symbol storage check when the special symbol variation display is suspended. That is, the special symbol storage check process described above, that is, the process of step S72 is set to be executed. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  As described above, the special symbol game is executed by setting the control state flag. Specifically, the main CPU 66 sets the control status flags in the order of (“00”), “01”, “02”, “08” when the result of the big hit determination is lost when the big hit gaming state is not set. By setting, (special symbol storage check process), special symbol variation time management process, special symbol display time management process, and special symbol game end process are executed at a predetermined timing.

  Further, the main CPU 66 sets the control state flags in order of (“00”), “01”, “02”, and “03” when the result of the big hit determination is a big hit when not in the big hit gaming state. (Special symbol memory check processing), special symbol variation time management processing, special symbol display time management processing, jackpot start interval management processing are executed at a predetermined timing, and control to the jackpot gaming state is executed. Become.

  Further, when the control to the big hit gaming state is executed, the main CPU 66 sets the control state flag in the order of “04”, “05”, “06”, so that the big winning opening opening process, the large The winning ball residual ball management processing and the waiting time management processing before reopening the big winning opening are executed at a predetermined timing, and the big hit game is executed.

  When a big hit game is being executed and the end condition for the big hit game state is satisfied, the winning combination is set in the order of “04”, “05”, “07”, “08”. The processing in the opening, the winning ball residual ball management processing, the big hit end interval processing, and the special symbol game end processing are executed at a predetermined timing, and the big hit gaming state is ended.

[Normal symbol control processing]
The normal symbol control process of FIG. 22 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, in FIG. 25, the numerical value drawn on the side of each process shows the normal symbol control state flag corresponding to those steps, and according to the numerical value of the normal symbol control state flag, one numerical value corresponding to the numerical value is shown. Steps are executed and the normal symbol game proceeds.

  First, in step S201, processing for loading the normal symbol control state flag is executed. In this process, the main CPU 66 reads the normal symbol control state flag. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S205.

  In the process described later, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not to execute various processes in each step based on the value of the normal symbol control state flag. The normal symbol control state flag indicates the game state of the normal symbol game, and enables any one of the processes to be executed. In addition, the main CPU 66 executes processing in each step at a predetermined timing determined according to a waiting time timer or the like set for each step.

  Before reaching this predetermined timing, the process ends without executing the process in each step, and another subroutine is executed. Of course, the system timer interrupt process is also executed at a predetermined cycle.

  In step S205, the main CPU 66 executes a normal symbol storage check process. In this process, the details will be described later, but when the normal symbol control state flag is a value (00) indicating the normal symbol storage check, the main CPU 66 checks the number of reserved symbols related to the normal symbol, and there is a reserved number. In such a case, a hit determination is performed. Then, the main CPU 66 sets a value (01) indicating normal symbol variation time management in the ordinary symbol control state flag, and sets a predetermined time as a variation time in the waiting time timer. In other words, after a predetermined variation time has elapsed, the normal symbol variation time management process described later is set to be executed. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S210.

  In step S210, the main CPU 66 executes normal symbol variation time management processing. In this process, the main CPU 66 sets the normal symbol control state flag to the value (01) indicating the normal symbol variation time management, and when the variation time has elapsed, the main CPU 66 sets the value (02) indicating the normal symbol display time management to the normal symbol. Set to the control state flag and set the waiting time after confirmation to the waiting time timer. That is, after the waiting time after the determination, the normal symbol display time management process described later is set to be executed. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S215.

In this process, the main CPU 66 determines whether or not it is a hit when the normal symbol control state flag is a value (02) indicating normal symbol display time management and the waiting time after determination has elapsed. When it is a win, the main CPU 66 executes the normal electric utility release setting process, sets the normal electric utility release time timer of the main RAM 70 to 6.7 seconds, and sets a value (03) indicating the normal electric utility release. Set to the normal symbol control state flag. That is, it sets so that the normal electric accessory release process mentioned later may be performed.

  On the other hand, the main CPU 66 sets a value (04) indicating the end of the normal symbol game when it is not a win. That is, it sets so that the normal symbol game completion | finish process mentioned later may be performed. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S220.

  In step S <b> 220, the main CPU 66 executes a normal electric accessory release process. In this process, when the normal symbol control state flag is a value (03) indicating that the normal electric combination is released, the main CPU 66 has the condition that there is a predetermined number of start winnings during the release of the normal electric combination. It is determined which of the conditions that the combination release time timer is “0” is satisfied.

  The main CPU 66 updates a variable positioned in the main RAM in order to bring the shutter member of the ordinary electric accessory 48 into a closed state when any of the conditions is satisfied. Then, the main CPU 66 sets a value (04) indicating the end of the normal symbol game in the normal symbol control state flag. That is, it sets so that the normal symbol game completion | finish process mentioned later may be performed. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S225. The main CPU 66 transmits a control signal to the normal electric accessory solenoid 118 based on the value of the normal symbol control state flag stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 70. Based on the received control signal, the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 118 shifts the shutter member of the ordinary electric accessory 48 to the open state or to the closed state.

  In step S225, the main CPU 66 executes a normal symbol game end process. The normal symbol game end process will be described later. When the normal symbol control state flag is a value (04) indicating the end of the normal symbol game, the main CPU 66 stores and updates data indicating the number of reserved symbols related to the normal symbol. In order to perform the next normal symbol variation display, the normal symbol storage area is updated. The main CPU 66 sets a value (00) indicating a normal symbol storage check. That is, it sets so that the process which loads the normal symbol control state flag mentioned above may be performed. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

It should be noted that the effects produced by the opening image 802 and the decorative member image 803 are not only displayed independently of each other, but also may be made to coordinate display modes such as the emission color and blinking. For example, after displaying the opening image 802 in a specific color, various forms of cooperative display can be applied, such as causing the decoration member image 803 to emit light in a specific color in conjunction with the display. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S1420.

  In step S1420, the sub CPU 206 executes a sound control process for controlling sounds generated from the speakers 46L and 46R. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S1425.

  In step S1425, the sub CPU 206 executes lamp control processing for performing light emission control of various lamps.

  Thus, in the sub control circuit main process, after the initial setting process is completed, the lamp control process is repeatedly executed from the random number update process.
