Here, if it is determined that the value of the counter MR1 and the value of the counter MR3 are recorded in the hold data storage unit 101 of the hold number 1, in step S62, the hold data storage unit 101 of the hold number 1 stores the value of the counter MR1. A value is detected, and it is determined in step S63 whether or not the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 103 is set to the on state. The probability change flag of the flag storage unit 103 is initially set to the off state in step S2. If the CPU 41 determines in step S63 that the probability change flag of the flag storage unit 103 is set to the on state, the step is performed. If the big hit determination table 1 of FIG. 11 (a) is detected from the ROM 42 in S64, and it is determined in step S63 that the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 103 is set to the OFF state, the process proceeds from the ROM 42 in FIG. In (b), the big hit determination table 2 is detected. In any case, one determination result corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter MR1 is selected from the detection results of the big hit determination table in step S66.

  When the CPU 41 selects a determination result from the detection result of the jackpot determination table in step S66, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the determination result is a jackpot in step S67. If it is determined that the determination result is out of step, the process proceeds to step S68, and the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 103 is set to an off state. The big hit flag in the flag storage unit 103 is initially set to the off state in step S2. When the CPU 41 sets the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 103 to the off state in step S68, the special hit flag is read from the ROM 42 in step S69. The off symbol is selected as the symbol. In step S74, the selection result of the special symbol is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 102. In step S75, the value (1) recorded in advance in the ROM 42 is set as the process flag value in the flag storage unit 103.

In other words, when the special winning opening 25 is closed for the first time in the state where the big hit game is played in a no-ball pattern, the intermediate interval is displayed with the rank-up effect flag on in each of the cases where it is closed for the first time to the 14th time. When the flag is set to the on state, the intermediate interval process of step S154 is performed, and if the special winning opening 25 is closed for the 15th time in a state where the big hit game is performed in the no-ball pattern, the rank is increased. The big hit round process of step S159 is performed by setting an effect flag to an OFF state. In this jackpot round process, the timer MT1 value of the timer storage unit 104 and the counter MN2 value of the counter storage unit 105 are continuously subtracted from the rank-up effect processing without being reset, and the timer MT1 value and the counter MN2 When one of the values reaches the limit value, the first jackpot round ends.

If the CPU 41 determines that “MT2 = 0” is not satisfied in step S205, the subtraction result of the value of the counter MN2 in the counter storage unit 105 is compared with the limit value (0) in step S213. If it is determined that “MN2 = 0”, the special winning opening 25 is switched from the open state to the closed state in step S214 to complete the first big hit round, and in step S215, the counter MN1 of the counter storage unit 105 is counted. The remaining number of continuations of the big hit round is updated by subtracting a constant value (1) from the value of. Then, in step S216, an intermediate interval time (0.2 × 1000 msec) is set as the value of timer MT2 in timer storage unit 104, in step S217, the intermediate interval flag in flag storage unit 103 is set to an on state, and in step S218.

It is determined whether or not it is a big hit.

  With special ball game images, with a ball out Normal jackpot symbol 1 is stopped and when there is a ball out Normal jackpot symbol 2 when there is a ball out, when a normal jackpot symbol without a ball is stopped and when there is a ball out As shown in FIG. 42, when the probability variable big hit symbol 1 is stopped and displayed, when the probability variation big hit symbol 2 with exit is stopped and when the probability variable big hit symbol without exit is stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. The first interval starts when the waiting time (1.0 sec) elapses. This initial interval ends when a certain initial interval time (1.0 sec) elapses. When the initial interval ends, the first big hit round starts. When this first big hit round ends, an intermediate interval begins. This intermediate interval ends when a certain intermediate interval time (0.2 sec) elapses, and each of the second big hit round to the fifteenth big hit round starts when the intermediate interval ends. When the fifteenth big hit round is over, the final round begins. The final interval ends when a certain final interval time (1.0 sec) elapses, and the big hit game ends when the final interval ends.

  With special ball game images, with a ball throwing Normal jackpot symbol 1 is stopped and when a ball with normal ball hit symbol 2 is stopped, when a ball with a certain probability variable jackpot symbol 1 is stopped and when a ball is thrown Each jackpot game in the case where the probable bonus jackpot symbol 2 is stopped is displayed, and the jackpot round ends when the limited number of game balls are placed in the special prize opening 25 or the opening time of the special prize opening 25 reaches the limit time. Accordingly, the time required for the big hit game varies from the start of the first interval to the end of the final interval according to the level of the skill at which the player wins the game ball in the special winning opening 25.

  In the special symbol game video, when the normal big hit symbol without a ball is stopped and when the probability variable big hit symbol without a ball is stopped and displayed, the special bonus game 25 open time reaches the limit time. The jackpot round ends, and the time required for the jackpot game from the start of the first interval to the end of the final interval, regardless of the level of skill that the player wins the game ball in the special winning opening 25 Becomes constant (16.8 sec).

When a special big hit symbol 2 with a ball is stopped on the video of a special symbol game and when the probable big hit symbol 2 with a ball is stopped and displayed, each big hit game has a normal big hit symbol without a ball stopped. The first big hit round is started with the same no-ball-throwing pattern as the case where the case and the probability variation big hit symbol without any ball are stopped and displayed. No limit number of game balls will be awarded in the special winning opening 25 with this no-ball pattern, and the no-ball pattern will be displayed after a certain time (14.8 sec) has elapsed since the first big hit round has begun. The special winning opening 25 is continuously opened for the remaining time after completion of the no-ball pattern in the first big hit round.

  When the CPU 61 selects a symbol element in step S395, the CPU 61 detects the update result of the value of the counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 114 in step S396, and the detection result of the value of the counter SR2 as the symbol element in the middle column from the symbol table 2 in step S397. One symbol element corresponding to is selected. Then, in step S398, the update result of the value of the counter SR3 is detected from the counter storage unit 114, and in step S399, one symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter SR3 is selected as the symbol element in the right column from the symbol table 3. In step S400, it is determined whether or not the selection result of the symbol element in the left column and the selection result of the symbol element in the right column are the same. If it is determined that the selection result of the left column and the selection of the right column are not identical to each other, in step S402, the left column, the middle column, and the right column Are set as selection results, and the setting results of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column are recorded in the confirmed symbol storage unit 115 in step S361 in FIG. For example, if the selection result of the symbol element in the left column is (8), the selection result of the symbol element in the right column is (7), and the selection result of the symbol element in the middle column is (1), it is stored in the confirmed symbol storage unit 115. The decorative design is recorded in a completely out-of-combination combination (817).

If the CPU 61 determines in step S400 that the selection result of the left column symbol element and the right column symbol element selection result are the same, the CPU 61 changes the right column symbol element selection result to the next symbol element in step S401. To do. In step 402, each of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column is set as a selection result. In step S361 in FIG. 47, each of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column is stored in the confirmed symbol storage unit 115. Record the setting result. For example, if the selection result of the symbol element in the left column is (8), the selection result of the symbol element in the right column is (8), and the selection result of the symbol element in the middle column is (1), the symbol element of the right column The selection result is changed to (1) next to (8), and the decoration symbol is recorded in the confirmed symbol storage unit 125 as a combination (811) of complete detachment.
[13-3-2] In-game processing In the in-game processing in step S337 in FIG. 46, the addition result of the timer ST1 value in the timer storage unit 113 is one of a plurality of process timer set values corresponding to the process data selection result. And the addition of the value of timer ST1 from the selection result of the process data when it is determined that the addition result of the value of timer ST1 matches any of a plurality of process timer setting values. A display control command corresponding to the result is detected and the detection result of the display control command is transmitted to the display control circuit 80. The display control circuit 70 converts the display content of the decorative symbol display 34 into the display control command reception result. The video of the decorative symbol game is displayed by controlling accordingly.

  In each of the process data P00 to P02 of FIG. 24, an all-view variation start command, a left column variation stop command, a right column variation stop command, and a middle column variation stop command are set. The CPU 61 sets the process data P00 to P00. Regardless of which of P02 is selected, all of the figure change start command, the left column change stop command, the right column change stop command, and the middle row change stop command are sequentially transmitted to the display control circuit 70. When the process data P02 is selected, a middle-column variation stop command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70, and then an all-drawing erase command is transmitted. In the case of transmitting the left column fluctuation stop command, the CPU 61 detects the setting result of the left column symbol element from the fixed symbol storage unit 115 and transmits the detection result of the left column symbol element to the display control circuit 70. In the case of transmitting the right column fluctuation stop command, the CPU 61 detects the setting result of the right column symbol element from the fixed symbol storage unit 115 and transmits the detection result of the right column symbol element to the display control circuit 70. The CPU 61 detects the setting result of the middle row symbol element from the fixed symbol storage unit 115 when transmitting the middle row variation stop command, and sends the detection result of the middle row symbol element to the display control circuit 70.

  When the display control circuit 70 receives the all symbol variation start command, the display control circuit 70 detects the image data corresponding to the all symbol variation start command from the VROM, and as shown in FIG. Based on the detection result of the image data, display of the symbol elements in the variation state is started in each of the variation region L, the middle variation region C, and the right variation region R. Each of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column is displayed superimposed on the front of the background image corresponding to the video data for the decorative symbol game.

When the display control circuit 70 receives both the detection result of the symbol element in the left column and the variation stop command in the left column, the display control circuit 70 stops the variation display of the symbol element in the left column based on the reception result, and is shown in FIG. In this way, the reception result of the symbol elements in the left column is displayed in the left fluctuation region L in the fluctuation stopped state. When the display control circuit 70 receives both the detection result of the right row of symbol elements and the fluctuation stop command of the right row, the display control circuit 70 stops the fluctuation display of the right row of symbol elements based on the reception result, and FIG. As shown, the reception result of the symbol elements in the right column is displayed in the right fluctuation region R in the fluctuation stopped state. When the display control circuit 70 receives both the detection result of the middle row symbol element and the middle column fluctuation stop command, the display control circuit 70 stops the fluctuation display of the middle row symbol element at the reception result, and FIG. As shown, the reception results of the middle row of symbol elements are displayed in the middle fluctuation region C in the fluctuation stop state. When the display control circuit 70 receives the all-picture erasing command, the display control circuit 70 erases the symbol elements in the fluctuation stop state from each of the left fluctuation area L, the middle fluctuation area C, and the right fluctuation area R.
[13-3-3] Game Stop Processing FIG. 52 shows the game stop processing in step S341, and the CPU 61 determines in step S411 whether or not the stop extension flag 1 in the flag storage unit 112 is set to an off state. If it is determined that the stop extension flag 1 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the off state, the process proceeds to step S412 and whether or not the stop extension flag 2 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the off state. Judging.

  If the CPU 61 determines that the stop extension flag 2 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the OFF state in step S412, the CPU 61 transmits the playback stop command 1 to the display control circuit 70 in step S413, and proceeds to step S414. This playback stop command 1 notifies the display control circuit 70 that playback processing of video data for decoration symbol games is stopped, and the CPU 61 sets the stop extension flag 1 of the flag storage unit 112 to the on state in step S411. When it is determined that it is set and when it is determined in step S412 that the stop extension flag 2 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the ON state, the transmission stop command 1 transmission process of step S413 is performed. Instead, the process proceeds to step S414.

When proceeding to step S414, the CPU 61 deletes the setting results of the symbol elements in the left column, the symbol elements in the middle column, and the symbol elements in the right column from the confirmed symbol storage unit 115. Then, the process proceeds to step S415, and the symbol information command is deleted from the command storage unit 111. That is, the main control circuit 40 transmits a variable stop command to the effect control circuit 60 in the OFF state of the stop extension flag 1 and the stop extension flag 2 in which the change start command 00 or 01 or 02 or 04 or 05 is selected. The reproduction stop command 1 is transmitted from the effect control circuit 60 to the display control circuit 70 in synchronization with the display control circuit 60, and the display control circuit 70 stops the reproduction processing of the video data in synchronization with the variation stop of the special symbol. In each of the ON state of the stop extension flag 1 with the change start command 03 or 07 selected and the ON state of the stop extension flag 2 with the change start command 06 selected, the main control circuit 40 sends a change stop command to the effect control circuit 60. The reproduction stop command 1 is not transmitted from the effect control circuit 60 to the display control circuit 70 in synchronization with the transmission, and the image of the bomb dropping effect is continuously displayed in the special symbol fluctuation stopped state.
[13-4] Jackpot Game Effect Processing FIG. 53 shows the jackpot game effect processing in step S314, and the CPU 61 determines whether or not a jackpot game start command is recorded in the command storage unit 111 in step S421. If it is determined that the big hit game start command is recorded in the command storage unit 111, the process proceeds to step S422, and it is determined whether or not the stop extension flag 1 in the flag storage unit 112 is set to an off state. .

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S422 that the stop extension flag 1 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the off state, the CPU 61 determines whether or not the stop extension flag 2 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the off state in step S423. To do. If it is determined that the stop extension flag 2 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the off state, the reproduction start command 2 is transmitted to the display control circuit 70 in step S424, and the command storage unit 111 receives a big hit in step S425. Delete the game start command. This playback start command 2 notifies the display control circuit 70 that the display of the big hit game effect video is started. When the display control circuit 70 receives the playback start command 2, the display control circuit 70 changes the playback start command 2 from the VROM. The corresponding video data is detected, and the video data is started to be reproduced, so that the display of the big hit game effect on the decorative symbol display 34 is started. That is, in the OFF state of the stop extension flag 1 and the stop extension flag 2 in which the change start command 00 or 01 or 02 or 04 or 05 is selected, the main control circuit 40 synchronizes with the start of the first interval in the big hit game. Then, the reproduction start command 2 is transmitted from the effect control circuit 60 to the display control circuit 70, and the display control circuit 70 starts the reproduction process of the video data in synchronization with the start of the first interval.

  The CPU 61 determines that the stop extension flag 1 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the on state in step S421 and that the stop extension flag 2 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the on state in step S422. In each case, the process proceeds to step S425, and the jackpot game start command is deleted from the command storage unit 111. That is, the main control circuit 40 starts the first interval in the big hit game in each of the ON state of the stop extension flag 1 with the change start command 03 or 07 selected and the ON state of the stop extension flag 2 with the change start command 06 selected. Synchronously with this, the playback start command 2 is not transmitted from the effect control circuit 60 to the display control circuit 70, and even during the big hit game, the image of the bomb dropping effect in the immediately preceding decorative symbol game is displayed continuously. .

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S421 that the big hit game start command is not recorded in the command storage unit 111, it determines in step S426 whether or not the stop extension flag 2 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the on state. If it is determined that the stop extension flag 2 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S427, and the addition result of the value of the timer ST1 of the timer storage unit 114 is recorded in the ROM 62 in advance. Compare with playback stop time (32.8 sec). This playback stop time is set to the same value as the playback time of the video data V04 according to the change start command 06. In step S427, the CPU 61 adds the value of the timer ST1 of the timer storage unit 114 to the playback stop time. In step S428, the reproduction stop command 1 is transmitted to the display control circuit 70. In step S429, the reproduction start command 2 is transmitted to the display control circuit 70. That is, in the ON state of the stop extension flag 2 in which the variation start command 06 is selected, the playback control command 1 and the playback stop command 1 are sent from the effect control circuit 60 to the display control circuit 70 in synchronization with the end of the bomb dropping effect video during the big hit game. Each of the playback start commands 2 is transmitted in sequence, and during the jackpot game, the video of the bomb dropping effect is stopped and simultaneously the video of the jackpot game effect is displayed.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S426 that the stop extension flag 2 of the flag storage unit 112 is not set to the on state, it determines whether or not a big hit game stop command is recorded in the command storage unit 111 in step S430. If it is determined that the big hit game stop command is recorded in the command storage unit 111, it is determined in step S431 whether or not the stop extension flag 1 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the on state. If it is determined that the stop extension flag 1 of the flag storage unit 112 is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S432, and the playback stop command 1 is transmitted to the display control circuit 70. That is, in the ON state of the stop extension flag 1 in which the change start command 03 or 07 is selected, the playback stop command 1 is transmitted from the effect control circuit 60 to the display control circuit 70 in synchronization with the end of the last round interval in the big hit game.
