The special symbol selection table allocates a 2R jackpot symbol to each of a plurality of values within the update range of the value of the counter MC3, and a plurality of remaining values within the update range of the value of the counter MC3. It is set by assigning a 15R big hit symbol to each. This special symbol selection table is recorded in advance in the ROM 52. If the CPU 51 detects the special symbol selection table in step S25, the counter MC3 of the 2R big hit symbol and the 15R big hit symbol from the special symbol selection table in step S26. The one corresponding to the detection result of the value is selected, and the process proceeds to step S29.

  If the CPU 51 determines in step S23 that the detection result of the value of the counter MC2 is different from the jackpot value, it sets the jackpot flag to an off state in step S27. Then, in step S28, the special symbol is removed and set to symbol (1), and the process proceeds to step S29.

  CPU51 will set a symbol command according to the setting result of a special symbol, if it transfers to step S29. In step S30, the symbol command setting result is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70, and the process proceeds to the variation start command selection process in step S31. When the variation start command selection process is completed, the process proceeds to step S32, and (1) is set as the value of the process flag. The symbol command notifies the effect control circuit 70 of the setting result of the special symbol. When the off symbol is set as the special symbol, the symbol command 1 is set, and when the 2R jackpot symbol is set as the special symbol. Is set with a symbol command 2, and a symbol command 3 is set when a 15R jackpot symbol is set as a special symbol.

  FIG. 9 shows the variation start command selection process in step S31, and the CPU 51 determines whether or not the special symbol setting result is a 15R big hit symbol in step S41. If it is determined that the special symbol setting result is a 15R big hit symbol, the fluctuation start command table 1 is detected from the ROM 52 in step S42, and the process proceeds to step S46. FIG. 10A shows the change start command table 1. This variation start command table 1 is recorded in advance in the ROM 52, and is set by assigning one variation start command to each of 100 values within the update range of the counter MC1. Each of these variation start commands 01 to 04 is for setting the effect contents of the decorative symbol game video. The selection probability of the variation start command 01 is set to (10/100), and the variation start command 02 is selected. The probability is set to (20/100), the selection probability of the change start command 03 is set to (30/100), and the selection probability of the change start command 04 is set to (40/100).

  If the CPU 51 determines in step S51 that the special symbol setting result is not a 15R jackpot symbol, the CPU 51 determines in step S43 whether or not the special symbol setting result is a 2R jackpot symbol. If it is determined that the special symbol setting result is a 2R big hit symbol, the fluctuation start command table 2 is detected from the ROM 52 in step S44, and the process proceeds to step S46. FIG. 10B shows the change start command table 2. This variation start command table 2 is recorded in advance in the ROM 52, and is set by assigning one variation start command to each of 100 values within the update range of the counter MC1. Each of these variation start commands 05 and 06 is used to set the contents of the decoration design game video. The selection probability of the variation start command 05 is set to (40/100), and the variation start command 06 is selected. The probability is set to (60/100).

  If the special symbol setting result is out of the design, the CPU 51 determines in step S43 that the special symbol setting result is not a 2R big hit symbol, detects the fluctuation start command table 3 from the ROM 52 in step S45, and proceeds to step S46. To do. FIG. 10C shows the change start command table 3. This variation start command table 3 is recorded in advance in the ROM 52, and is set by assigning one variation start command to each of 100 values within the update range of the counter MC1. Each of these change start commands 11 to 18 is for setting the effect contents of the decorative symbol game video, and the respective selection probabilities of the seven change start commands 11 to 17 are set to (5/100), The selection probability of the change start command 18 is set to (65/100).

  When proceeding to step S46, the CPU 51 selects one fluctuation start command corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter MC1 from the detection result of the fluctuation start command table. In step S47, the selection result of the change start command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70, and the change display time table is detected from the ROM 52 in step S48. FIG. 11 is a variable display time table. This variation display time table is recorded in advance in the ROM 52, and is set by assigning one variation display time to each of 14 of the variation start commands 01-18.

When the CPU 51 detects the fluctuation display time table in step S48, the CPU 51 selects one fluctuation display time corresponding to the selection result of the fluctuation start command from the fluctuation display time table in step S49, and fluctuates to the value of the timer MT in the RAM 53 in step S50. Set the display time selection result.
[1-4] Special Symbol Game Processing FIG. 12 shows the special symbol game processing in step S13. This special symbol game process is executed when the value of the process flag is set to (1). In step S51, the CPU 51 subtracts a fixed value (4 msec) from the value of the timer MT, and in step S52. The subtraction result of the value of the timer MT is compared with the limit value (0). Here, when it is determined that the subtraction result of the value of the timer MT has not reached the limit value, the special symbol game process is terminated.

  If the CPU 51 determines in step S52 that the subtraction result of the value of the timer MT has reached the limit value, the CPU 51 proceeds to a special symbol display process in step S53. Here, the special symbol setting result is displayed on the special symbol display 33, and a change stop command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 in step S54. That is, when the special symbol is set to the 2R big hit symbol because it is determined to be the big hit, the 2R big hit symbol is displayed on the special symbol display unit 33 when the selection result of the variable display time has elapsed, and it is determined that the big hit is made. Therefore, if the special symbol is set to 15R jackpot symbol, the 15R jackpot symbol is displayed on the special symbol display 33 when the selection result of the variable display time has passed, and if it is determined that it is out, the variable symbol is displayed. When the time selection result has elapsed, the special symbol display 33 is removed and the symbol is displayed.

When the CPU 51 transmits the fluctuation stop command in step S54, it is determined in step S55 whether or not the big hit flag is set to the on state. If it is determined that the big hit flag is set in the off state, the process flag value is set to (0) in step S56. If it is determined that the big hit flag is set in the on state, the step is executed. The process proceeds to S57. Here, the big hit flag is set to the OFF state, and (2) is set to the value of the process flag in step S58.
[1-5] Jackpot Game Process The jackpot game process in step S14 of FIG. 6 is executed when the value of the process flag is set to (2), and the CPU 51 determines that the special symbol setting result is 2R jackpot. If the symbol is a symbol, two jackpot rounds are performed in the jackpot game process in step S14. If the special symbol setting result is a 15R jackpot game, 15 jackpot rounds are performed in the jackpot game process in step S14. This jackpot round is to open the special prize opening 25. When a limited number (10) of game balls have won in the special prize opening 25, or the opening time of the special prize opening 25 is the time limit (30 × When the time reaches 1000 msec), the special winning opening 25 is closed.

When starting the first jackpot round in the jackpot game process in step S14, the CPU 51 transmits a jackpot game start command to the effect control circuit 70 to notify the start of the first jackpot round. When the final big hit round is finished, the CPU 51 sends a big hit game stop command to the effect control circuit 70 to notify that the final big hit round has ended, and the effect control circuit 70 is notified of the big hit game stop command. Is transmitted, the process flag value is set to (0).
[2] Processing Contents of Effect Control Circuit 70 [2-1] Main Process The main process of FIG. 13 is executed by the CPU 71 of the effect control circuit 70. When the CPU 71 is turned on, the power supply in step S101 is executed. The RAM 73 is initialized by the input process, and the counter update process in step S102 is repeated. This counter updating process updates the values of the counter SC1, counter SC2, counter SC3, and counter SC4 of the RAM 73 by a constant value (1). The values of the counters SC1 to SC4 are set to the lower limit values (step S101). Initially set to 0).

Each value of the counters SC1 to SC3 is for setting a combination of three rows of decorative symbols. The value of the counter SC1 is added to the upper limit value (249) from the lower limit value (0) in step S102 and then the lower limit value. The value of the counter SC2 is cyclically added by returning to the value (0), and after being added from the lower limit value (0) to the upper limit value (162) in step S102, the value is returned to the lower limit value (0) and cyclically added. The value of the counter SC3 is added from the lower limit value (0) to the upper limit value (72) in step S102, and then returned to the lower limit value (0) and added cyclically. The value of the counter SC4 is used to determine whether or not to display a video image of the notice effect. In step S102, the value is added from the lower limit value (0) to the upper limit value (20) and then returned to the lower limit value (0). Is added cyclically.

  When the CPU 71 transmits the selection result of the video command in step S134, the CPU 71 detects the symbol command from the RAM 73 in step S135, and in step S136, the symbol command detection result is the symbol command 2 (2R jackpot symbol) and symbol command 3 (15R jackpot symbol). ) And each of them. If it is determined that the detection result of the symbol command is neither the symbol command 2 nor the symbol command 3, the process proceeds to step S138, and the detection result of the symbol command is either the symbol command 2 or the symbol command 3. If it is determined, the process proceeds to the jackpot symbol setting process in step S137. In this jackpot symbol setting process, three rows of decorative symbols are set as a jackpot combination, and the CPU 71 detects the update result of the value of the counter SC1 from the RAM 73 in step S137. Then, one of the four decorative symbols (1) to (4) is selected according to the detection result of the value of the counter SC1, and the decorative symbol in the left column, the decorative symbol in the middle column, and the decorative symbol in the right column are selected. By setting each of them as a decorative symbol selection result, three rows of decorative symbols are set as a jackpot combination.

  In step S138, the CPU 71 compares the detection result of the change start command with the change start command 17 and the change start command 18, respectively. Here, when it is determined that the detection result of the fluctuation start command is either the fluctuation start command 17 or the fluctuation start command 18, the process proceeds to the complete out symbol setting process in step S139. In this complete off symbol setting process, the three rows of decorative symbols are set to a completely off combination, and the CPU 71 detects the update results of the values of the counters SC1, SC2, and SC3 from the RAM 73 in step S139. Then, one of the four decorative symbols (1) to (4) is selected according to the detection result of the value of the counter SC1, and the decorative symbol in the left column is set as the decorative symbol selection result. Next, one of the four decorative symbols (1) to (4) excluding the setting result of the decorative symbol in the left column is selected according to the detection result of the value of the counter SC2, and the decorative symbol in the right column is selected. The symbol is set as the decoration symbol selection result. Finally, one of the four decorative symbols (1) to (4) is selected according to the detection result of the value of the counter SC3, and the three columns are set by setting the decorative symbol of the middle column as the selection result of the decorative symbol. The decoration pattern of is set to a completely out of combination.

  If the detection result of the change start command is any one of the change start commands 11 to 16, the CPU 71 determines that the change start command detection result is neither the change start command 17 nor the change start command 18 in step S138. Then, the process proceeds to the detach reach symbol setting process in step S140. In this outlier reach setting process, three rows of decorative symbols are set as combinations of outliers, and the CPU 71 detects the update results of the values of the counter SC1 and the counter SC2 from the RAM 73 in step S140. Then, one of the four decorative symbols (1) to (4) is selected according to the detection result of the value of the counter SC1, and each of the decorative symbol in the left column and the decorative symbol in the right column is selected as a decorative symbol. Set to result. Next, of the four decorative symbols (1) to (4), one corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter SC2 out of the three except the setting results of the decorative symbol in the left column and the decorative symbol in the right column. Is selected, and the decorative pattern in the middle row is set as the selection result of the decorative symbol, so that the three rows of decorative symbols are set as combinations of outliers.

When the VDP of the display control circuit 80 receives the jackpot gaming effect start command, the video data for the jackpot gaming effect is received from the VROM. When the video data for the big hit game effect is detected, the video data detection result is started to be reproduced, and then the display of the big hit game effect video is started on the decorative symbol display 34. This jackpot game effect video is a visual effect of the jackpot game, and when the VDP receives the jackpot game effect stop command, the video data detection result is stopped to display the jackpot game effect image. Stop.
[3] Processing contents of display control circuit 80 The decorative symbol game display process of FIG. 18 is executed according to a control program in which the VDP of the display control circuit 80 is recorded in advance in the VROM, and the VDP is stored in the VRAM in step S201. It is determined whether a video command is recorded. If it is determined that a video command is recorded in the VRAM, the video command is detected from the VRAM in step S202, and the process proceeds to step S203. FIG. 19 shows a list of decorative design game video data recorded in advance in the VROM of the display control circuit 80. One video command is assigned to each of the video data 01 to 14, and the VDP detects one video data corresponding to the detection result of the video command from the VROM when the process proceeds to step S203.

  Each of the video data 17 and the video data 18 displays a normal image (see a in FIG. 20) on the decorative symbol display 34 as a background image of the decorative symbol game. This normal video is the one in which the main character and the monster character confront each other, and ends without the main character and the monster character fighting each other.

  Each of the video data 01, the video data 05, the video data 11 and the video data 15 displays the normal video and the reach video 1 (see b in FIG. 20) in order on the decorative symbol display 34 as background images of the decorative symbol game. is there. In this reach image 1, the hero character battles with the monster character with the weapon 1, the video data 01 is set to a big hit ending when the hero character defeats the monster character, and the video data 11 is the hero character. The ending character is set so that the monster character cannot be defeated.

  Each of the video data 02, the video data 06, the video data 12, and the video data 16 displays the normal video and the reach video 2 (see c in FIG. 20) in order on the decorative symbol display 34 as background images of the decorative symbol game. is there. In this reach image 2, the hero character battles against the monster character with the weapon 2, and the video data 02 is set to a big hit ending where the hero character defeats the monster character, and the video data 12 is the hero character The ending character is set so that the monster character cannot be defeated.

  Each of the video data 03 and the video data 13 is to display a normal video and a reach video 3 (see d in FIG. 20) in order on the decorative symbol display 34 as background images of the decorative symbol game. In this reach image 3, the hero character fights against the monster character with the weapon 3, and the video data 03 is set to a big hit ending when the hero character defeats the monster character, and the video data 13 is the hero character The ending character is set so that the monster character cannot be defeated.

  Each of the video data 04 and the video data 14 is to display a normal image and a reach image 4 (see e in FIG. 20) in order on the decorative symbol display 34 as background images of the decorative symbol game. This reach image 4 is that the hero character fights against the monster character with the weapon 4, and the video data 04 is set to the big hit ending when the hero character defeats the monster character, and the video data 14 is the hero character. The ending character is set so that the monster character cannot be defeated.

  When the video data is detected in step S203, the VDP determines in step S204 whether a decorative symbol game start command is recorded in the VRAM. If it is determined that the decorative symbol game start command is recorded in the VRAM, the decorative symbol game start command is erased from the VRAM in step S205, and reproduction of the video data detection result is started in step S206. Start displaying the background video of the game.

  When the VDP starts displaying the background image of the decorative symbol game in step S206, the VDP starts variable display of the decorative symbol in the left column, the decorative symbol in the middle column, and the decorative symbol in the right column in step S207. The variation display of each of these three rows of decorative symbols is displayed by moving the decorative symbols from top to bottom while displaying the type of decorative symbols (1) → decorative symbols (2) → decorative symbols (3) → decorative symbols (4) → The decorative symbols (1)... Are changed in a cyclic order and are performed by reproducing image data for decorative symbols recorded in advance in the VROM.

  When the VDP starts displaying the variation of the three decorative symbols in step S207, the VDP flashes and displays each of the three light symbols 42 in the decorative symbol variation state in step S208. This blinking display imitates the state in which the light symbol 42 blinks in red, and is performed by alternately changing the light symbol 42 into a red color and a black color. The flashing display of the light symbols 42 in each of these three rows is stopped at the same time in black color before the decorative symbols in the left row are in the variation stop state. If the blinking display is stopped, the process proceeds to step S209.

  When the VDP proceeds to step S209, the detection result of the video command is changed to the video command 01, video command 02, video command 03, video command 04, video command 11, video command 12, video command 13, video command 14 and video command 18. Compare with each. If it is determined that the detection result of the video command is any one of the nine video commands 01 to 18, the process proceeds to the normal effect display process in step S210, and the detection result of the video command is 9 of the video commands 01 to 18. If it is determined that none of them is present, the process proceeds to step S211.

  When the VDP proceeds to step S211, the video command detection result is compared with the video command 05, the video command 06, the video command 15, and the video command 16, respectively. If it is determined that the video command detection result is one of the four video commands 05 to 16, the process proceeds to the development effect display process 1 in step S212, and the video command detection result is the video command 17. In step S213, the video command detection result is determined to be none of the four video commands 05 to 16, and the process proceeds to the development effect display process 2 in step S213.

  FIG. 21 shows the normal effect display process in step S210. In step S221, the VDP stops the variation display of the decorative symbol in the left column of the decorative symbol display 34 at the result of setting the decorative symbol in the left column of the VRAM. The stop display of the left row of decorative symbols is performed in front of the normal video when the variation stop time Tl of the left column has elapsed with reference to the start of the variable display of each of the three rows of decorative symbols in step S207. In step S221, the left row of decorative symbols is stopped and displayed while the left row of light symbols 42 is in a black off state.

  In step S221, the VDP stops changing the display of the decorative symbol in the left column of the decorative symbol display 34. In step S222, the VDP displays the variable display of the decorative symbol in the right column of the decorative symbol display 34 and sets the decorative symbol in the right column of the VRAM. Stop at the result. The stop display of the right row of decorative symbols is performed when the change stop time Tr (> Tl) of the right row has elapsed with reference to the start of the change display of each of the three rows of decorative symbols in step S207. The decorative symbol in the right column is stopped and displayed in a state where the right symbol 42 in the right column is turned off in step S222. These decorative symbols in the right column and the decorative symbol in the left column are a combination of reach in which the symbol elements 43 are the same when the video command detection results are eight video commands 01 to 04 and video commands 11 to 14, respectively. Therefore, when the detection result of the video command is the video command 18, the reach is not combined.

  When the VDP stops displaying the decorative symbols in the right column of the decorative symbol display 34 in step S222, the VDP compares the video command detection results with the eight video commands 01 to 04 and eight video commands 11 to 14 in step S223. . If it is determined that the video command detection result is not one of the video commands 01 to 04 and the video commands 11 to 14, the process proceeds to step S225, and the video command detection result is the video command 01 to 04 and the video command. If it is determined that the command is one of the eight commands 11 to 14, the process proceeds to step S224.

  When the VDP proceeds to step S224, the decorative symbol display 34 erases each of the decorative symbol in the left column, the decorative symbol in the middle column, and the decorative symbol in the right column. This step S224 is performed after any one of the reach image 1, the reach image 2, the reach image 3 and the reach image 4 is started to be displayed on the decorative symbol display 34, and the VDP is displayed in the decorative symbol display 34 in step S224. If the three decorative symbols in the three rows are deleted, the process proceeds to step S225.

  When the VDP proceeds to step S225, the VDP determines whether or not a decorative symbol game stop command is recorded in the VRAM. If it is determined that the decorative symbol game stop command is recorded in the VRAM, the decorative symbol game stop command is erased from the VRAM in step S226, and the detection result of the video command is displayed as the video commands 01 to 04 and video in step S227. Compare with each of the eight commands 11-14.

  If the VDP determines in step S227 that the video command detection result is one of eight video commands 01 to 04 and video commands 11 to 14, the VDP displays the three decorative symbols on the decorative symbol display 34 in step S228. Displayed in a variable stop state, and the process proceeds to step S230. Each of the three rows of decorative symbols is displayed in a state where the change is stopped. Any one of the reach video 1, the reach video 4, the reach video 3, and the reach video 4 is displayed after the ending is displayed. It is performed in front of the ending. The display of these three rows of decorative symbols in the variable stop state is performed based on the result of setting the VRAM decorative symbols, and each of the three rows of light symbols 42 is black in the three rows of decorative symbols. Is turned off.

  FIG. 22 shows images displayed on the decorative symbol display 34 when the video command detection results are eight video commands 01 to 04 and eight video commands 11 to 14, respectively. In this case, the decorative display of the left row and the decorative display of the right row are stopped in order in front of the normal image, so that the left row decorative symbol and the right row decorative symbol become a combination of reach ( a / b), when the left row decorative pattern and the right row decorative symbol are a combination of reach, the normal video is developed into one of reach video 1, reach video 2, reach video 3 and reach video 4. To do. When this normal video develops, each of the three rows of decorative symbols is erased (see c). When each of the three rows of decorative symbols is erased, one of the reach images 1 to 4 is reached. Is displayed, and the end of any one of the reach video 1 to the reach video 4 is displayed, the symbol elements 43 in the three rows of the decorative symbols are displayed in the combination of jackpot or outreach (see d).

  When the detection result of the video command is the video command 18, the VDP determines that the detection result of the video command is not any of the eight video commands 01 to 04 and the video commands 11 to 14 in step S227, and decorates in step S229. The variable display of the decorative pattern in the middle row of the symbol display 34 is stopped at the setting result of the decorative symbol in the middle row of the VRAM. The middle row decorative symbol is displayed in a stopped state when the light symbol 42 is turned off. If the middle row decorative symbol is stopped in step S229, the VDP proceeds to step S230.

  FIG. 23 shows an image of a decorative design game when the video command detection result is a video command 18. In this case, the normal video is displayed as the background video of the decorative design game, and the decorative display in the left column, the decorative display in the right column, and the variable display in the middle row are displayed in front of the normal video. Are sequentially stopped, so that the three rows of symbol elements 43 are completely out of combination.

  When the VDP proceeds to step S230, the display of the background image of the decorative symbol game is stopped by stopping the reproduction of the detection result of the video data. In step S231, the video command is deleted from the VRAM, and in step S232, the setting results of the decorative symbols in the left column to the right column are deleted from the VRAM.

  FIG. 24 shows the development effect display process 1 in step S212. In step S241, the VDP stops the variable display of the decorative symbol in the left column of the decorative symbol display 34 at the setting result of the temporary decorative symbol in the left column of the VRAM. The stop display of the left row of decorative symbols is performed in front of the normal video when the variation stop time Tl of the left column has elapsed with reference to the start of the variable display of each of the three rows of decorative symbols in step S207. The decorative symbol in the left column is stopped and displayed when the light symbol 42 is turned off.

  In step S241, the VDP stops the variation display of the decoration symbol in the left column of the decoration symbol display 34. In step S242, the VDP displays the variation display of the decoration symbol in the right column of the decoration symbol display 34 and the temporary decoration symbol in the right column of the VRAM. Stop at the setting result. The stop display of the right row decoration symbol is performed in front of the normal image when the right column change stop time Tr has elapsed with reference to the start of the change display of the three rows of decoration symbols in step S207. The decorative symbols in the right column are stopped and displayed when the light symbols 42 are turned off.

  In step S242, the VDP stops the variable display of the decorative symbol in the right column of the decorative symbol display 34. In step S243, the VDP displays the variable display of the decorative symbol in the middle column of the decorative symbol display 34 in the temporary decorative symbol in the middle column of the VRAM. Stop at the setting result. This middle row decorative symbol stop display is performed when the middle row variation stop time Tc (> Tr) has elapsed with reference to the start of variation display of each of the three rows of decorative symbols in step S207. The decorative symbol in the middle row is stopped and displayed when the light symbol 42 is turned off. The fluctuation stop time Tc in the middle row is set to a time before the normal image is developed into the reach image 1 in each of the video data 05 and the video data 15, and the normal image is reached in each of the video data 06 and the video data 16. It is set at a time prior to the development of the video 2, and the decorative pattern in the middle row is stopped and displayed in front of the normal video. When the middle row of decorative symbols is stopped and displayed, the three rows of decorative symbol elements 43 are completely out of combination in front of the normal image, and the three rows of light symbols 42 are turned off in front of the normal image. It becomes a state.

  In step S243, the VDP starts the variable display in which the neon tube blinks in step S244, assuming that the symbol elements 43 in the three rows of decorative symbols are completely out of combination. This blinking display of the neon tube simulates the state in which the neon tube blinks red, and is performed by alternately changing the colors of the light symbols 42 in each of the three columns to a red lighting state and a black lighting state. Is called. The blinking display of the neon tube is started in front of the normal image, and the decorative element 43 of each of the three rows of the decorative symbols is continuously displayed in a combination of complete disengagement in the blinking state of the neon tube.

  When the VDP starts blinking display of the neon tube in step S244, it determines whether or not a notice command is recorded in the VRAM in step S245. If it is determined that the notice command is not recorded in the VRAM, the process proceeds to step S248. If it is determined that the notice command is recorded in the VRAM, the notice effect is started in step S246. In this notice effect, each of the light symbols 42 in the three rows is turned on with red letters. If the notice effect is started in step S246, the notice command is deleted from the VRAM in step S247. Then, the process proceeds to step S248.

  When the VDP proceeds to step S248, the flashing display of the neon tube is stopped. The stop of the flashing display of the neon tube is similar to the state of the flashing stop of the neon tube, and is performed by turning off each of the three light patterns 42 in black. The stop of the flashing display of the neon tube is performed when a predetermined performance time (4 × 1000 msec) has elapsed with reference to the start of the flashing display of the neon tube in step S244. If started, the red characters in the three rows disappear in step S248. If the notice effect is not started in step S246, the red illumination in the three rows disappears in step S248. .

  When the VDP stops the blinking display of the neon tube in step S248, the VDP compares the video command detection result with each of the video command 05 and the video command 15 in step S249. If it is determined that the detection result of the video command is one of the video command 05 and the video command 15, in step S250, the light symbols 42 in the three rows are simultaneously changed from the off state to the variable stop state in which they are lit. Change. The lighting display of each of the three rows of light symbols 42 is such that the light symbols 42 have a blue color different from that at the start of the change in step S208, and each of the three rows of light symbols 42 is blue (reach 1). The background image of the decorative symbol game is developed from the normal image to the reach image 1 after the light symbols 42 in the three rows change from the unlit state to the lit state. A combination in which the light symbols 42 in the three rows are blue (reach 1) is referred to as a development effect 1 combination.

  When the detection result of the video command is either the video command 06 or the video command 16, the VDP determines that the detection result of the video command is neither the video command 05 nor the video command 15 in step S249, and in step S251 The three light symbols 42 in the three rows are simultaneously changed from the light-off state to the lighted variable stop state. The lighting display of each of these three rows of light symbols 42 is such that the light symbols 42 have a purple color different from both step S208 and step S250, and each of the three rows of light symbols 42 is purple (reach 2). The background image of the decorative symbol game is developed from the normal image to the reach image 2 after the light symbols 42 of the three rows change from the unlit state to the lit state. A combination in which the light symbols 42 in the three rows are purple (reach 2) is referred to as a development effect 2 combination.

  When the VDP turns on each of the three rows of light symbols 42 in step S250 or step S251, the VDP erases each of the three rows of decorative symbols from the decorative symbol display 34 in step S252. The erasure of each of these three rows of decorative symbols is performed in front of the reach image 1 after the normal image has been developed into the reach image 1 when the detection results of the video data are the video data 05 and the video data 15, respectively. In the case where the detection results of the video data are the video data 06 and the video data 16, respectively, the normal video is developed in front of the reach video 2 after being developed into the reach video 2. That is, the three rows of light symbols 42 notify the player that the normal video image has been developed into the reach video image 1 by being turned on with the blue color of (reach 1), and the purple color of (reach 2). The player is informed that the normal video image is developed into the reach video image 2 when the lighting state is set to the color indicated by.

  When the VDP erases each of the three decorative symbols in step S252, the VDP determines whether a decorative symbol game stop command is recorded in the VRAM in step S253. If it is determined that the decorative symbol game stop command is recorded in the VRAM, the decorative symbol game stop command is erased from the VRAM in step S254, and the process proceeds to step S255.

  When the VDP proceeds to step S255, the decorative symbol display 34 displays each of the three rows of decorative symbols with the light symbol 42 turned off. The display of each of these three rows of decorative symbols is performed based on the result of setting the decorative symbols of the VRAM after the end of the reach video is displayed. When the video data detection result is the video data 05, the reach video is displayed. After the jackpot ending is displayed at 1, the decorative elements 43 of the three rows of decorative symbols are displayed in the jackpot combination, and when the video data detection result is the video data 06, the jackpot ending is displayed in the reach image 2 After that, the three rows of decorative symbols 43 are displayed in a jackpot combination, and when the video data detection result is the video data 15, three rows of decorative symbols are displayed after the ending of the reach image 1 is displayed. When the symbol element 43 of the symbol is displayed in the combination of the detachment reach and the detection result of the video data is the video data 16, the ending result is displayed in the reach image 2. Pattern elements 43 of the three rows of decorative symbols are displayed in combination reach out later.

  When the VDP displays each of the three decorative symbols on the decorative symbol display 34 in step S255, the display of the background image of the decorative symbol game is stopped by stopping the reproduction of the video data detection result in step S256. In step S257, the video command is erased from the VRAM. In step S258, the setting results of the three rows of decorative symbols are erased from the VRAM. In step S259, the setting results of the temporary rows of the three rows of VRAM are displayed. to erase.

  FIG. 25 shows the display contents of the decorative symbol display 34 when the video command detection results are the video command 05 and the video command 15, respectively. In this case, the decorative display of the left row, the decorative display of the right row, and the display of the middle row of the decorative design are sequentially stopped in front of the normal video image, so that the decorative elements of the three rows are displayed. 43 is a completely out of combination (see ac). The variation display of each of these three rows of decorative symbols is started when the light symbol 42 blinks red and stopped when the light symbol 42 is extinguished. Each of the three rows of light symbols 42 has three rows. After the symbol elements 43 of the decorative pattern of FIG. 4 are completely out of combination, the flashing starts from the off state to the red color in front of the normal video (see d), and when it is determined that the notice effect is to be performed, each of the three columns The light symbol 42 is flashed with red characters (see e).

  Each of the three rows of light symbols 42 is turned off again from the red blinking state in front of the normal image. When the three rows of light symbols 42 are turned off, (reach 1) The lighting state is blue (see f). When the light symbols 42 of these three rows are lit in the blue color of (reach 1), the normal video develops to reach video 1, and when the normal video develops to reach video 1, decoration. The three decorative symbols in the three rows are erased from the symbol display 34 (see g). When each of these three rows of decorative symbols is erased, the reach image 1 has a big hit or missed outcome, and when the reach image 1 has a big hit or missed outcome, the decorative symbol display 34 Three rows of decorative symbols are displayed (see h). Each of these three rows of decorative symbols is displayed with the light symbol 42 turned off. When the reach image 1 results in a big hit, the three rows of decorative symbols 43 become a big hit combination. When the reach image 1 has a disengagement ending, the symbol elements 43 in the three rows of decorative symbols become a combination of disengagement reach.

  FIG. 26 shows display contents of the decorative symbol display 34 when the video command detection results are the video command 06 and the video command 16, respectively. In this case, the decorative display of the left row, the decorative display of the right row, and the display of the middle row of the decorative design are sequentially stopped in front of the normal video image, so that the decorative elements of the three rows are displayed. 43 is a completely out of combination (see ac). The variation display of each of these three rows of decorative symbols is started when the light symbol 42 blinks red and stopped when the light symbol 42 is extinguished. Each of the three rows of light symbols 42 has three rows. After the decorative symbol 43 of the decorative pattern is completely out of combination, it starts blinking red in front of the normal video (see d), and when it is determined that the notice effect is to be performed, each of the three rows of light symbols 42 blinks with red characters (see e).

  Each of the light symbols 42 in the three rows is turned off again from the red blinking state in front of the normal image. When the light symbols 42 in the three rows are turned off, (reach 2) The lighting state is purple (see f). When the light symbols 42 in each of these three rows are lit in the purple color of (reach 2), the normal video develops to reach video 2, and when the normal video develops to reach video 2, decoration The three decorative symbols in the three rows are erased from the symbol display 34 (see g). When these three rows of decorative symbols are erased, the reach image 2 has a big hit or missed end, and when the reach image 2 has a big hit or missed end, the decorative symbol display 34 Three rows of decorative symbols are displayed (see h). Each of the three rows of decorative symbols is displayed with the light symbol 42 turned off. When the reach image 2 results in a big hit, the three rows of decorative symbols 43 become a big hit combination. When the reach image 2 has a ending result, the symbol elements 43 of the three rows of decorative symbols become a combination of the detaching reach.

  FIG. 27 shows the development effect display process 2 in step S213, and the VDP stops the variation display of the decorative symbol in the left column of the decorative symbol display 34 at the result of setting the decorative symbol in the left column of the VRAM in step S261. The stop display of the left row of decorative symbols is performed in front of the normal video when the variation stop time Tl of the left column has elapsed with reference to the start of the variable display of each of the three rows of decorative symbols in step S207. The decorative symbol in the left column is stopped and displayed when the light symbol 42 is turned off.

  In step S261, the VDP stops changing the display of the decorative symbol in the left column of the decorative symbol display 34. In step S262, the VDP displays the change in the decorative symbol in the right column of the decorative symbol display 34 and sets the decorative symbol in the right column of the VRAM. Stop at the result. The stop display of the right row decoration symbol is performed in front of the normal image when the right column change stop time Tr has elapsed with reference to the start of the change display of the three rows of decoration symbols in step S207. The decorative symbols in the right column are stopped and displayed when the light symbols 42 are turned off.

  In step S262, the VDP stops changing the decorative symbol display in the right column of the decorative symbol display 34. In step S263, the VDP displays the variable display of the decorative symbol in the middle row of the decorative symbol display 34 in the middle of the VRAM. By stopping at the result, the symbol elements 43 of the three rows of decorative symbols are made a combination that is completely off. The middle row decorative symbol stop display is performed in front of the normal image when the middle row variation stop time Tc has elapsed with reference to the start of variation display of the three rows of decorative symbols in step S207. The decorative symbol in the middle row is stopped and displayed when the light symbol 42 is turned off.

  In step S263, when the VDP is a combination of three elements of the decorative symbols 43 in the SDP, the VDP starts blinking the neon tube in front of the normal image in step S264. The flashing display of the neon tubes is performed by alternately changing the colors of the light symbols 42 in the three rows to the red lighting state and the black light-off state, and the symbol elements of the three rows of the decorative symbols. 43 is continuously displayed in a blinking state of the neon tube in a completely off-set combination.

  When the VDP starts blinking display of the neon tube in step S264, the VDP determines whether or not a notice command is recorded in the VRAM in step S265. If it is determined that the notice command is not recorded in the VRAM, the process proceeds to step S268. If it is determined that the notice command is recorded in the VRAM, the notice effect is started in step S266. In this notice effect, each of the light symbols 42 in the three rows is turned on with red letters. When the notice effect is started in step S266, the notice command is deleted from the VRAM in step S267. The process proceeds to step S268.

  When the VDP proceeds to step S268, the flashing display of the neon tube is stopped by turning off the light symbols 42 of the three rows. The stop of the flashing display of the neon tube is performed when the production time (4 × 1000 msec) has elapsed with reference to the start of the flashing display of the neon tube in step S264, and the notice production is started in step S266. In step S268, the red characters in the three rows disappear, and in step S266, if the notice effect is not started, the red illumination in the three rows disappears in step S268.

  When the VDP stops the blinking display of the neon tube in step S268, the VDP determines in step S269 whether or not a decorative symbol game stop command is recorded in the VRAM. If it is determined that the decorative symbol game stop command is recorded in the VRAM, the decorative symbol game stop command is erased from the VRAM in step S270, and the light symbols 42 in the three rows are turned on from the unlit state in step S271. To each other at the same time. These three rows of light symbols 42 are turned on by changing the color of the light symbols 42 from black to the same red color as in step S208. Is returned to the same lighting state as that at the start of the variation of the decorative symbol, so that it is notified that the normal video does not develop into the reach video. Each of the three rows of light symbols 42 is called a red combination.

  When the VDP turns on the light symbols 42 in the three rows in step S271, the video data detection result is stopped in step S272 to stop displaying the background image of the decorative symbol game. In step S273, the video command is erased from the VRAM, and in step S274, the setting results of the respective three symbols in the VRAM are erased.

  FIG. 28 shows the display content of the decorative symbol display 34 when the video command detection result is the video command 17. In this case, the decorative display of the left row, the decorative display of the right row, and the display of the middle row of the decorative design are sequentially stopped in front of the normal video image, so that the decorative elements of the three rows are displayed. 43 is a completely out of combination (see ac). The variation display of each of these three rows of decorative symbols is started when the light symbol 42 blinks red and stopped when the light symbol 42 is extinguished. Each of the three rows of light symbols 42 has three rows. After the decorative symbol 43 of the decorative pattern is completely out of combination, it starts blinking red in front of the normal video (see d), and when it is determined that the notice effect is to be performed, each of the three rows of light symbols 42 blinks with red characters (see e). Each of the three rows of light symbols 42 changes from a red blinking state to a non-lighting state again in front of the normal image. When each of the three rows of light symbols 42 is turned off, the light symbol 42 has a red color. The lighting state is set (see f). When each of the three rows of light symbols 42 is lit in red, the normal image does not develop and the combination of the three rows of decorative symbols 43 is determined completely off.

According to the said Example 1, there exists the following effect.
In each of the decorative symbols (1) to (4), the state of the light symbol 42 is not fixed with respect to the type of the symbol element 43, and the video command 05, the video command 06, the video command 15, the video command 16, and the video command. When each of 17 is selected, the state of each of the light symbols 42 in the three rows becomes the initial light-off state by the combination of the three rows of the symbol elements 43 in the state where the variation of the decorative symbols in the three rows is stopped. It changes through a change state blinking in red and a black off state. The reach image is not displayed when the combination of the red effect end of each of the three rows of light symbols 42 is completed, and the combination of the development effect 1 of each of the three rows of light symbols 42 of blue (reach 1) or purple Displayed when the combination of the development effects 2 of (Reach 2) is completed. In addition, when the combination of the development effects 1 is completed, the reach video 1 is displayed. When the combination of the development effects 2 is completed, the reach video 2 having a different content from the reach video 1 is displayed. In addition to the fun of the player following the combination of the three rows of symbol elements 43, the fun of watching the combination of the three rows of the light symbols 42 can be seen. it can.

  When 15 jackpot rounds are performed in the jackpot game, each of the three rows of decorative symbol variation displays is stopped, and the three rows of symbol elements 43 become a jackpot combination. When two big hit rounds are performed in the big hit game, each of the three rows of decorative symbols is stopped and each of the three rows of decorative symbols 43 is stopped. Each of 42 is changed from an extinguished state to a fluctuating state, and after each of the three rows of light symbols 42 is changed to a fluctuating state, a fluctuation stopped state in which the light is lit in the blue color of (reach 1) or the purple color of (reach 2). Become. For this reason, for the player, even when the three rows of decorative symbols of the variable display are stopped, even if the three rows of symbol elements 43 do not become a big hit combination, the three rows of light symbols 42 are changed from the fluctuation state ( Since it can be expected that the change will be stopped by the blue color of reach 1) or the purple color of (reach 2), two great pleasures can be enjoyed with a video of one decorative design game. In other words, the variation display of the light symbol 42 is an additional (so-called bonus) performed after the combination of the three symbol elements 43 is determined from the player's perspective, and the additional variation display from the player's perspective. When a specific combination is established, two big hit rounds are performed, which is a small number of times compared to 15 times according to the player's eyes.

  In the first embodiment, each of the three rows of the light symbols 42 blinks in red, and the blue (reach 1) fluctuation stop state or purple (reach 2) fluctuation does not pass through the black extinction state. It is good also as a stop state or a red change stop state.

  In the first embodiment, a person or a code may be displayed instead of each of the three rows of light symbols 42. In the case of this configuration, it is preferable to perform variable display by changing the type of person or code, and to perform stop display by stopping the change of the type of person or code with a single object.

  In the first embodiment, in step S271 of FIG. 27, one of the three rows of light symbols 42 is turned on in the blue color of (reach 1), and each of the remaining two rows is turned on in the purple color of (reach 2). In short, the light symbol 42 in three rows may be a combination different from the combination of the development effect 1 and the combination of the development effect 2.

  In the first embodiment, when each of the video command 05, the video command 06, the video command 15, the video command 16, and the video command 17 is selected, the three rows of the symbol elements 43 are stopped in the state where the three rows of decorative symbols are stopped. It is good also as a combination of detachment and reach.

  In the first embodiment, when the video command 05, the video command 06, the video command 15, the video command 16, and the video command 17 are selected, the state of the person in each of the three windows in the window design 41 is changed. May be.
