  When the CPU 51 finishes the counter update process in step S5 in FIG. 4, the CPU 51 proceeds to the data acquisition process in step S6, and determines the setting state of the start signal flag in step S31 in FIG. Here, when it is detected that the start signal flag is turned on, the process proceeds to step S 32, and the measured value of the counter N 1 is compared with the upper limit value MAX (4) recorded in the ROM 52. The counter N1 measures the number of special symbol games held. When the CPU 51 determines “N1 <MAX” in step S32, it determines that the number of special symbol games held has not reached the upper limit. And it transfers to step S33 and acquires the present measured value of random counter R1-R3.

  In the RAM 53 of the main control circuit 50, four reserved data areas E1 to E4 are set as shown in FIG. The order of use “1” to “4” is assigned to these four reserved data areas E1 to E4, and the CPU 51 of the main control circuit 50 acquires the measured values of the random counters R1 to R3 in step S33 of FIG. Then, in step S34, the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the area with the smallest usage order among the unused reserved data areas. For example, when the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in both the reserved data area E1 in the usage order “1” and the reserved data area E2 in the usage order “2”, the reserved data in the blank space having the minimum usage order “3” is stored. The area E3 stores the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R3.

If it is detected that the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the hold data area E1, the acquisition result of the random counter R3 is detected from the hold data area E1 in step S42, and the detection result of the random counter R3 is set to the jackpot value “ 7 ”. The jackpot value “7” is recorded in the ROM 52 of the main control circuit 50. When the CPU 51 detects that the detection result of the random counter R3 is the same as the jackpot value “7”, it determines that the jackpot value is a big hit. In S43, the big hit flag is turned on. Further, when it is detected in step S42 that the detection result of the random counter R3 is different from the big hit value “7”, it is determined to be out, and the big hit flag is turned off in step S44. That is, the big hit is determined with a fixed probability of “1/249”.

  When the CPU 51 proceeds to step S45, it determines the set state of the big hit flag. If it is determined that the big hit flag is turned on, the process proceeds to step S46, and the special symbol “7” is set. If it is determined in step S45 that the big hit flag has been turned off, the process proceeds to step S47, and a special symbol “-” is set. That is, the special symbol “7” is set when the big hit is determined, and the special symbol “−” is set when the loss is determined.

  When the special symbol “-” is set in step S47, the CPU 51 detects the acquisition result of the random counter R2 from the reserved data area E1 in step S48, and compares it with the ten outreach values “0-9”. These outlier reach values are recorded in the ROM 52 of the main control circuit 50. When the CPU 51 determines in step S48 that the detection result of the random counter R2 is the same as one of the ten outlier reach values, the outlier reach value is obtained.

These deviation reach fluctuation patterns P5 to P8 are for generating the same system image with the same development as the big hit fluctuation patterns P1 to P4. In step S67 in FIG. When a pattern is selected, in step S68, a variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern selection result is selected from the variation pattern table for outlier reach in FIG. For example, when the detection result of the random counter R1 is “5”, the variation pattern “P5” is selected, and when the variation pattern selection result is “P5”, the variation display time “28 sec” is selected.

  When the CPU 51 determines in step S65 in FIG. 9 that the release reach flag has been turned off, the CPU 51 determines that a complete release has been determined in the previous jackpot determination process. In step S69, the fluctuation pattern P9 is selected. In step S70, the fluctuation display time “3 sec” corresponding to the fluctuation pattern P9 is selected.

This jackpot notice is made by cutting in a special notice picture immediately after the three rows of decorative symbols start to change, and the video data V1-1 and V1-2 are mutually related in the presence or absence of the jackpot notice. Is different. Note that the details of the notice pattern are omitted.

  The video data V1-1 and V1-2 are used to generate the same system video with the same content of the production progress. When the video data V1-1 and V1-2 are reproduced, the three rows of decorative symbols are simultaneously displayed. The reach state is generated based on the fact that the fluctuation starts and the left column and the right column sequentially change and stop according to the setting result. After the reach state occurs, the following effects (hereinafter referred to as character card battle effects) occur. After the end of the character card battle effect, the three rows of decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in a jackpot combination. In addition, description about the production before the occurrence of the reach state is omitted.

  FIG. 24 shows the processing contents when the VDP 84 of the symbol control circuit 80 reproduces the video data V1-1 and V1-2. FIGS. 25 and 26 show the reproduction results of the video data V1-1 and V1-2. Is shown. The video data V1-1 is reproduced based on the VDP 84 generating a display signal based on the decompression result of the video data V1-1 and outputting the display signal generation result to the LCD circuit 87. V1-2 is played back when the VDP 84 generates a display signal based on the decompression result of the video data V1-2 and outputs the display signal generation result to the LCD circuit 87, and the video shown in FIG. Data reproduction processing indicates display signal generation processing of the VDP 84. Hereinafter, the video data reproduction process will be described.

  Step S501: After the reach state in which two numbers of the same kind are arranged in a state where the left and right columns of the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed according to the setting result of the effect control circuit 70, the display screen 35 until that time is displayed. Reach state in which the display is switched, and the left and right columns of the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed so that two numbers of the same kind are arranged in the lower right corner of the display screen 35 of the decorative symbol display 34, and the middle column is variably displayed. Is displayed (see FIG. 25A).

  Step S502: The teammate card 110 on which the female character 111 is arranged is displayed on the right half of the display screen 35 (see (a) of FIG. 25). This female character 111 is an ally character in the character card battle effect, which means that when the female character 111 wins the battle, a big hit in the game occurs. The female character 111 corresponds to the first character, and the teammate card 110 corresponds to the first card.

  Step S503: The enemy card 120 in which the dog character 121 is arranged so as not to overlap the friend card 110 is displayed on the left half of the display screen 35 (see (a) of FIG. 25). This dog character 121 is an enemy character in the character card battle effect, and means that when the dog character 121 wins the battle, it is out of play. The dog character 121 corresponds to the second character, and the enemy card 120 corresponds to the second card.

  In addition, the position arrange | positioned so that each card | curd may not overlap in step S502, S503 is made into a 1st position. Further, the first position may be arranged so that the respective cards do not overlap each other, and may be arranged vertically or obliquely other than about half each on the left and right as in the present embodiment. However, a smaller card may be displayed on the screen instead of about half each.

  Further, the processing in steps S502 and S503 is the first control. Further, the order of steps S501 to S503 may be changed, or two or three steps may be performed simultaneously.

  Step S504: Both cards are moved so that the distance between the friend card 110 and the enemy card 120 is reduced. That is, a display is performed in which the teammate card 110 is translated in the left direction and the enemy card 120 is translated in the right direction. Note that the movement direction of the card may be changed according to the first position if it is different. When the first position is one in which the cards are arranged vertically, the card moves in the vertical direction. In addition, when the first position is one in which the cards are arranged obliquely, the first position may be moved in an oblique direction. Further, regardless of the first position, a direction other than simple translation may be adopted as the card movement direction. For example, it may be configured to move both cards in the direction of overlapping while rotating both cards, like a spiral, or to move both cards in a direction of overlapping while moving the cards in a zigzag manner. May be.

  Step S505: Furthermore, a display is performed in which the cards 110 and 120 are translated so that the friend card 110 and the enemy card 120 are overlapped as they are (see FIG. 25B). At that time, the overlapping part of the friendly card 110 and the enemy card 120 are displayed so that the front and back of the overlapping manner are switched a plurality of times so that the symbols of the enemy card 120 are alternately displayed in front of the display screen 35 (player side). . Here, the movement speeds of the respective cards 110 and 120 are always constant after the movement starts, and both the cards 110 and 120 move at the same speed. Further, the processing in steps S504 and S505 is the second control.

  Step S506: When the ally card 110 and the enemy card 120 are in a predetermined overlapping state (here, when two-thirds of the cards are in an overlapping state (see (c) of FIG. 25)) In addition, the color-changing ally card in which the ally card 110 (see FIG. 25 (c)) and the enemy card 120 (see FIG. 25 (e)) that are always displayed and alternately displayed in front of each other are changed in color. 110a (see FIG. 25D) and the color-changing enemy card 120a (see FIG. 25F) are displayed. Here, the color change ally card 110a corresponds to the third card. Further, the color change enemy card 120a corresponds to the fourth card.

  Among these, the color-changing ally card 110a is either an achromatic color (white, black, gray) or a cold color system (blue, etc.) different from the pre-colored color of the female character 111 arranged on the ally card 110. Or a color-changing female character 111a that has been changed to a color mainly composed of achromatic and cold colors. Further, the color-changing enemy card 120a has an achromatic color (white, black, gray) or a cold color system (blue, etc.) that is different from the previously colored color of the dog character 121 arranged on the enemy card 120. This is a card on which a color change dog character 121a that has been changed to a main color or a color mainly including both achromatic and cold colors. The colors of the color-changing female character 111a of the color-changing friend card 110a and the color-changing dog character 121a of the color-changing enemy card 120a, mainly the achromatic color and / or the cold-colored color, have a loss, tragic feeling, defeat feeling, etc. The color is expressed. Further, here, as the color-changing female character 111a of the color-changing friendly card 110a and the color-changing dog character 121 of the color-changing enemy card 120a, the female character 111 of the friendly card 110 and the dog character 121 of the enemy card 120 are respectively negative-positive converted. Is displayed. The color change female character 111a corresponds to the third character. Further, the color change dog character 121a corresponds to a fourth character.

  Using such cards 110, 110a, 120, and 120a, the display is switched as follows from the state in which the friendly card 110 and the enemy card 120 are always displayed. That is, on the side of the teammate card 110, the friendship card 110 on which a pre-colored female character 111 is arranged and the color-changing friend on which a color-changing female character 111 a mainly composed of achromatic and / or cold colors is arranged. While maintaining the state in which the cards 110a are alternately displayed (see FIGS. 25C and 25D), the display is performed such that the cards 110a are translated in the right direction until they completely overlap the enemy card 120 side. On the enemy card 120 side, the color-changing enemy is arranged with an enemy card 120 having a pre-colored dog character 121 and a color-changing dog character 121a having mainly achromatic and / or cold colors. While maintaining the state where the cards 120a are alternately displayed (see FIGS. 25E and 25F), the display is performed such that the card 120a is translated in the left direction until the card 120a completely overlaps with the friend card 110 side. At the same time, the overlapping portions of these cards are displayed so that the front and back of the overlapping manner are switched a plurality of times so that the symbols are alternately displayed in front of the display screen 35 (player side) ( (See (c) to (f) of FIG. 25). The process of step S506 is the third control.

  Here, the moving speeds of both cards are constant from the second control to the end of the third control, and both move at the same speed, but through the second and third controls, The movement speed may be different for each card, or the speed changes during the second control (for example, when the cards start to overlap) or when the third control is started. You may come to do.

  Step S507: When the ally card 110 (including the color-changing friend card 110a) and the enemy card 120 (including the color-changing enemy card 120a) are completely overlapped, the respective cards are stopped for a certain time without moving in that state. In this state, a friend card 110 (see FIG. 25 (g)) on which a pre-colored female character 111 is arranged, and a color-change female character that has been changed to an achromatic and / or cold-colored color. A color change friend card 110a (refer to (h) in FIG. 25) arranged with 111a, an enemy card 120 (refer to (i) in FIG. 25) arranged with a pre-colored dog character 121, an achromatic color and / or Alternatively, the color change enemy card 120a (see (j) of FIG. 26) arranged with the color change dog character 121a changed to a color mainly composed of a cold color system is displayed in front of the alternative. To. Here, it is repeatedly displayed in the order of the ally card 110 → the color change ally card 110a → the enemy card 120 → the color change enemy card 120a ((g) to (i) in FIG. 25, (j) in FIG. 26). ))) May be displayed in a different order, such as displaying randomly. The process of step S507 is the fourth control.

  Step S508: After a certain period of time, the friend card 110 with the pre-colored female character 111 and the enemy card 120 with the pre-colored dog character 121 are placed in the first position in the first control. Are displayed so as to move away from each other toward the second positions that are different from each other and do not overlap each other (see (k) and (l) in FIG. 26). Here, the ally card 110 is translated in the left direction and the enemy card 120 is translated in the right direction so that the ally card 110 and the enemy card 120 are opposite to the first position. Further, the movement at this time is performed at a speed higher than that in the second and third controls, and when both the cards 110 and 120 are in an overlapping state, either one of them is moved. The card is positioned far forward (for example, the enemy card 120 is always positioned forward as in (k) and (l) of FIG. 26), and the front and back of the overlap are inserted. It is displayed not to change. The processing in step S508 is the fifth control.

  Step S509: After the friend card 110 and the enemy card 120 are moved to the second position where they do not overlap, the enemy card 120 with the dog character 121 is changed to a color mainly composed of achromatic and / or cold colors. The color-changing enemy card 120a provided with the color-changing dog character 121 is switched and displayed (see (m) of FIG. 26).
