The processing and the processing of task 5 shown in FIG.
In response to a signal from the clock circuit 35, the CPU 32 repeatedly executes the processing in a predetermined processing cycle (on the order of μs) in parallel.

The processing of task 1 shown in FIGS.
The PU32 determines the value of the random number for the big hit (the lottery value
) Is generated by sequentially incrementing in the range of 0 to 1050, and based on the value of the random number for the big hit, the random number for the variable time, the random number for the normal hit, the left and right normal symbol data and the left, right, Set each value of the right special symbol data, create the normal hit symbol data and the non-normal symbol data by the value of the random number for normal hit and the left and right normal symbol data, and set each value of the left, middle and right special symbol data To create left, middle, and right special jackpot symbol data and left, middle, and right extra-losing symbol data. Further, the detection signals from the left and right normal symbol activation switches SW5 and SW6 allow the game ball to pass through the left and right gates. Up to four times are memorized and numerically displayed on the stored number display section 25 of the symbol display unit 2, and the prize detection signals from the first, second, and right start detection switches SW1, SW2, and SW3 are displayed. Each that stores a value of the jackpot for the random number up to four.

The CPU 32 sequentially increments the value of the random number for big hits in the range of 0 to 1050 at every predetermined processing cycle, and sets the value of the random number storage register for big hits RAN1 to 105.
Each time the value reaches 0, the value of the register RAN1 is initialized to 0, and the value of the variable time random number storage register RAN2 is cyclically switched between 0 and 1 each time the value of the register RAN1 is incremented by one. (Step a1 to Step a6).

Next, the CPU 32 generates a random number for normal hit,
As a process for setting each value of the left and right normal symbol data and the left, middle and right special symbol data, the second and third bits (values from 0 to 3) of the big hit random number storage register RAN1 are registered. Rx, and similarly, the first and second bits and 0 of the big hit random number storage register RAN1.
The bit and the first bit are stored in the registers Ry and Rz, respectively (steps a7 to a9), 1 is added to the value of the register Rx, and the value is stored in the register R '. And if it is 4, 0 is stored in the register R '.
If it is not 4, the stored value is left as it is, and the value of the register R 'and the value of the ordinary random number register R'0 (0
４4) are added, and the normal hit random number register R'0
The value of the register R 'is added to the value of the left special symbol data storage register r0 (values from 0 to 14), and the result is stored in the left special symbol data storage register r0 (steps a10 to a14). . The CPU 32 determines whether or not the value of the normal hit random number storage register R'0 is 5 or more.
5 is subtracted from the value of 0, and the random number storage register for ordinary hit R
'0, and determines whether or not the value of the left special symbol data storage register r0 is 15 or more. If the value is 15 or more, 15 is subtracted from the value of the register r0 and stored in the left special symbol data storage register r0 ( Step a15 to step a1
8). As a result, any value from 0 to 4 is set in the ordinary hit random number storage register R'0, and any value from 0 to 14 is set in the left special symbol data storage register r0. Here, the registers Rx, Ry, Rz, and R 'are registers used by the CPU 32 for internal processing.

The CPU 32 compares the value of the register Rx, the value of the random number storage register for normal hit R'0 (values from 0 to 4) and the value of the left special symbol data storage register r0 (values from 0 to 14). The discrimination processing and calculation processing performed by
U32 is the register Rz and the right normal symbol for each value of the register Ry, the left normal symbol data storage register R1 (values from 0 to 4) and the middle special symbol storage register r1 (values from 0 to 14). The same applies to the values of the data storage register Rr (values from 0 to 4) and the right special symbol storage register r2 (values from 0 to 14) (step a19).
-Step a36).

Left and right ordinary symbol data storage registers Rl,
Rr and left, middle and right special symbol storage registers r0 to r2
Is the value of the internal processing index, and
2 is to sequentially change this value for each processing cycle, thereby creating all possible combinations of symbols that can be displayed, and the combination of the internal processing indices created in the processing cycle relates to the hit symbol. It is determined whether or not the symbol is related to a non-existent symbol (step a37). If the symbol is a hit symbol, the current values of the respective internal indices Rl and Rr are stored in the left and right ordinary hit symbol data storage registers rla and rra, respectively. (Step a38) If the combination of the internal processing indices created in the processing cycle is related to a lost symbol, the current value of each of the internal indices Rl and Rr is changed to the left and right normal symbol data storage registers rlb and rrb. (Step a39), and it is determined whether the combination of the internal processing indices created for the internal indices r0 to r2 is a hit symbol. Re to determine whether it relates to the symbol (step a40~ Step a41), left the current value of r0 to r2 of the internal processing indices if per symbol,
Medium and right big hit symbol data storage registers r0a to r2a
(Step a42). If the combination of the internal processing indices created in the processing cycle is related to a lost symbol, the current value of each of the internal processing indices r0 to r2 is shifted to the left, middle, and right. It is stored in each of the symbol data storage registers r0b to r2b (step a43).

Therefore, only the value of the internal processing index relating to the hit symbol sequentially changes and is updated in each of the left and right ordinary hit symbol data storage registers rla and rr and the left, middle and right big hit symbol data storage registers r0a to r2a. Stored, left and right out-of-normal symbol data storage register r
In each of lb, rrb and left, middle, and right lost symbol data storage registers r0b to r2b, only the value of the internal processing index relating to the lost symbol is sequentially changed and stored.

The CPU 32 detects and stores an unused gate detection state identification flag Ei each time a detection signal is input from the left and right normal symbol operation switches SW5 and SW6 (steps a44 to a49). ). CP
U32 sets the gate detection state identification flags E0 to E3 based on the value of the search index i every time a game ball passes through the left and right gates 5 and 6, so that a maximum of four are stored.

Further, every time a winning detection signal is input from the left, middle and right type 1 starting opening winning detection switches SW1, SW2 and SW3, the unused random number storage register Ri is stored in the unused fixed random number storage register Ri. Is stored (step a50 to step a56). Each time the CPU 32 detects an input to the first-type starting ports 16, 3, 17, the storage state identification flag Fi detects an unused definite random number storage register Ri based on the value of the search index i. The random number storage register for big hit RAN1 is stored in the storage register Ri.
Is stored and the storage state identification flag Fi is set. As shown in FIG. 28, the determined random number storage register Ri stores up to four RAN1 values at the time of winning detection. Become.

The value of the big hit random number storage register RAN1 changes in a regular manner at every predetermined processing cycle. The winning detection timing to the left, middle, and right first-type starting ports 16, 3, 17 and R
Since there is no causal relationship with the current value of AN1, the current value of RAN1 at the time of winning detection can be used as a random number.

Then, the CPU 32 detects the gate detection state identification flag Ei in use based on the value of the search index i, and adds one to the storage number display register Rd every time the gate detection state identification flag Ei is detected. The value of the display register Rd is numerically displayed by the stored number display LED (N) (step a5).
7 to step a63). The displayed number is one of 0 to 4.

The relationship between the values of the internal processing indices stored in the ordinary symbol data storage registers Rl and Rr and the symbols is shown in Table 1 and Table 2 in the left and right ordinary display indices iu and iv, respectively. The value has been replaced and the special symbol storage register r
The relationship between the values of the internal processing indices stored in 0 to r2 and the symbols is as shown in Tables 3 to 5, and the relationship between the left, middle, and right special display indices il, ic, ir and the symbols is shown. equal.
Therefore, in order to create a pattern of all possible combinations in a cycle, 25 times for a normal pattern and 15 ^{3 for a} special pattern
Times of processing is required.

[Table 5] In the present embodiment, the case where a predetermined display mode is displayed by the first symbol on the first symbol display unit according to claim 1 is a case where a combination of symbols which is a hit with a normal symbol is used. In this case, the left ordinary symbol and the right ordinary symbol match. Also, the second symbol display unit according to the first aspect has a second symbol display unit.
The case where the predetermined display mode is displayed by the symbol of
In the present embodiment, a special symbol is a combination of symbols that will be a big hit, that is, a case where all of the left, middle, and right special symbols match.

That is, there are five combinations of symbols stored in the left and right normal symbol data storage registers rla and rra. Therefore, each symbol is completely and randomly displayed like a mechanical rotary drum. The display probability of winning is
The combination of the symbols stored in the left, center, and right jackpot symbol data storage registers r0a to r2a is one of the same symbols in the left, middle, and right symbols, and other combinations. Are stored in the left, middle, and right off symbol data storage registers r0b to r2b, so the probability of a big hit on the display is a value obtained by dividing the number of combinations of the hit symbols by the total number of combinations of the symbols. 15/3375.

In the embodiment, for a normal symbol, a symbol to be displayed when the variable display is stopped is selected based on the relationship between the value of the random number storage register for normal hit R'0 and the set value. , Left, middle, right The symbol to be displayed when the variable display is stopped is selected based on the relationship between the value of the determined random number storage register Ri set at the time of winning detection to the first type starting ports 16, 3, and 17 and the set value. Therefore, the probability of occurrence of the symbol hit and the jackpot can be arbitrarily set irrespective of the combination occurrence probability of each symbol. The values of the registers Rl and Rr, the registers rla and rra, the registers rlb and rrb, the registers r0a to r2a, the registers r0b to r2b, and the registers r0 to r2 indicate values of internal processing indices.
Display indices il, ic, ir used for actual fluctuation display
Is independent of the current value of.

The processing of the task 2 shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 is usually related to the variable display of symbols.

First, the CPU 32 determines whether or not it is possible to start a new ordinary symbol variation display based on the detection signals of the left and right ordinary symbol operation switches SW5 and SW6 by setting the ordinary symbol operation flag fa to 1 or 2 or 3. Is set (step b1, step b2, and step b3). If the value of the ordinary symbol operation flag fa is 1, the left ordinary symbol variation display is being executed, and if the value of the ordinary symbol operation flag fa is 2, the right ordinary symbol variation display is being executed. If the value of the normal symbol operation flag fa is 3, the opening / closing operation of the first type start-up port 3 is being executed, and in any case, a new symbol variation display cannot be started.
When the value of the normal symbol operation flag fa is 1, the CPU 3
In the process 2, the left normal symbol variation display of the symbol is continuously executed in the process of the task 2. When the value of the ordinary symbol operation flag fa is 2, the right ordinary symbol variation display of the symbol is continued in the process of the task 2. When the value of the ordinary symbol operation flag fa is 3, the process of the task 2 is substantially not executed.

Also, the normal symbol operation flag fa is set to 1 or 2
Or, if it is a value other than 3, neither the fluctuation display of the ordinary symbol nor the opening / closing operation of the first type start-up port 3 is performed, so that a new ordinary symbol fluctuation can be started. Fa = 0 at the initial stage
And it is in a state of waiting for signal detection.

In this case, the CPU 32 first determines whether or not 1 is set in the gate detection state identification flag E0.
That is, it is determined whether or not a game ball has already been detected in the processing of the task 1 through the left and right gates 5 and 6 (step b4).

Left and right normal symbol operation switches SW5, SW
If the passage of the game ball has been detected by the CPU 6, the CPU 32 sets 1 to the unused gate detection state identification flag Ei in the order of i = 0 to 3 each time the passage of the gate is detected in the processing of the task 1. Therefore, if the gate detection state identification flag E0 is set to 1, the left and right gates 5,
This means that it has been detected at least once whether or not the game ball has passed through Step 6 (see Steps a7 to a13).

If 1 has been set to the gate detection state identification flag E0, the CPU 32 proceeds to step b5, sets 1 to the ordinary symbol operation flag fa, and stores the start of the ordinary symbol variation display (step b5). b5) A predetermined value is set for the parameters of t1 and t2 (step b6). As shown in FIG. 29, t1 and t2 are fixed values indicating the fluctuation time of each of the left and right ordinary symbols.

The CPU 32 having set the fluctuation time of each of the left and right ordinary symbols, then determines the symbol to be displayed on each of the left and right ordinary symbol display LEDs (A) and (B) of the dot matrix LED display 22. The process of continuously incrementing the values of the indicated display indices iu and iv and starting the display of each ordinary symbol is started (step b7), and the timer Ta is operated to start measuring the elapsed time after the start of the variable display (step b7). Step b8). In addition, actual symbol feed is each symbol display LED
By switching the display output of each line of (A) and (B) several lines at predetermined intervals, the display is continuously performed as if the symbols flow up and down.
Description is omitted because it is well known as a display technique using elements and the like. In the case of the embodiment, the reference values of the symbol feed speeds of the left and right symbols during the variable display are 0.032 seconds / symbol.

In the processing after the next cycle, since the normal symbol operation flag fa has already been set to 1, the CPU 32 as the display control means proceeds to step c9 after executing the discrimination processing in step c1, and elapses after the start of the variable display. Until the time Ta reaches the set value t1, the discriminating processing of step c1 and step b9 and the left and right ordinary symbol display LEDs
The processing of step b10 relating to the variable display of (A) and (B) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

During the repeated execution of the left and right normal symbol change processing, the elapsed time Ta after the start of the change display is obtained.
Reaches the set value t1 (step b9), the CPU 32
Reads the current value of the normal hit random number register R'0 and stores it in the normal fixed value storage register Rb (step b1).
1) The gate detection state identification flags E1 and E2 are sequentially shifted to the gate detection state identification flags E0 and E2, and the gate detection state identification flag F3 is set to 0 (step b12).

Next, the CPU 32 determines whether or not the value of the ordinary fixed value storage register Rb matches the set value 1 corresponding to the hit (step b13), and determines whether the value of the ordinary fixed value storage register Rb is equal to the set value. If they match, the values of the left and right ordinary hit symbol data storage registers rlan
While stored in the right display ordinary symbol storage register rlc and rrc (step b14), the ordinary fixed value storage register R
If the value of "b" does not match the set value, the values of the left and right non-normal pattern data storage registers rlb to rrb are stored in the left and right display normal symbol storage registers rlc to rrc, respectively (step b15). The symbols to be displayed on the left and right normal symbol display LEDs when the fluctuation stops are determined.

Next, the CPU 32 sets the symbols corresponding to the internal processing indices of the left and right display normal symbol storage registers rlc and rrc at the time of the fluctuation stop times t1 and t2 of the left and right normal symbol display LEDs (A) and (B). Are replaced with the values of the display indices iu and iv for the left and right symbols, respectively (step b16), the variation of the left ordinary symbol display LED (A) is stopped (step b17), and the ordinary symbol operation flag fa Is set to 2 (step b18), and the processing of this cycle is ended.

At the time when the fluctuation of the left ordinary symbol display LED (A) is stopped, the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the left ordinary symbol display memory register rlc is statically displayed on the left ordinary symbol display LED (L). However, if normal display control is disturbed by the influence of external noise or the like, another symbol may be displayed when the variable display is stopped. Even in such a case, the ROM 3 is used based on the value of the display index iu.
Since the symbol is displayed based on the data read from No. 1, the relationship between the value of the display index iu and the left ordinary symbol is always ensured.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the ordinary symbol operation flag fa becomes 2, so that the CPU 32 executes step c1,
After the execution of the determination process of step c2, the process proceeds to step b19. Until the elapsed time Ta after the start of the fluctuation display reaches the set value t2, the determination process of step c1, step c2 and step b19, and the right normal symbol display LED ( The processing of step b20 relating to the variable display of B) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time Ta reaches the set value t2 in the determination processing of step b19, C
The PU 32 stops the fluctuation of the right normal symbol display LED (B) (step b21), and when the fluctuation of the right normal symbol display LED (B) stops, the right normal symbol display LED (B) displays the right display. Normally, the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the symbol storage register rrc is statically displayed. Also,
Even when normal display control is hindered by external noise or the like, the relationship between the value of the display index iv and the right ordinary symbol is always ensured.

Then, the CPU 32 which has finished the display of the change of the left and right ordinary symbols displays the left ordinary symbol display LED (A) and the right ordinary symbol display LED based on the current values of the display indices iu and iv.
It is determined whether or not the combination of (B) is the same symbol (step b22). If the combination is the same, that is, if the combination is a winning symbol, 3 is set to the ordinary symbol operation flag fa (step b22). b23) Initialize the opening number storage register C for the opening / closing operation processing of the middle type 1 starting port 3 (step b2)
4), the operation time flag ft is initialized (step b2)
5) Permit execution of the processing of task 4 relating to the opening / closing operation processing of the first type start port 3. If the combination is not the same symbol, the value of the ordinary symbol operation flag fa is initialized (step b26), the value of the storage number display register Rd is reduced by 1 (step b27), and the processing of this cycle is ended.

In this embodiment, the current value of the ordinary hit random number storage register R'0 at the time of the processing of step b11 in task 2 performed at every predetermined processing cycle is the value of the ordinary fixed value storage register Rb, The presence or absence of a normal symbol hit is determined by whether or not it matches the set value 1, and
At the time when the variable display of the left ordinary symbol display LED (A) is stopped in the process of step b17, the combination of the hit symbols and the combination of the missing symbols are determined by the processes of steps c14 to c16. It is conceivable that normal display control is hindered by the influence of the above, and that the finally displayed symbols are deviated.

However, in the present embodiment, when the final symbol combination is determined, the current values of the display indices iu and iv corresponding to the symbols when the variable display is stopped are replaced with the symbol combinations determined in advance. I'm trying to use
Even in the case where the displayed symbols are out of order, it is possible to make an accurate determination corresponding to the combination of the symbols actually displayed.

In the embodiment, the probability of occurrence of a normal symbol hit is a value obtained by dividing the range of the set value corresponding to the hit by the value range of the random number storage register for normal hit R'0. The value of the set value is only 1 and the possible value of the random number storage register for normal hit R0 is 0 to 4
The probability of occurrence per symbol is usually 1 /
5 (0.2). Therefore, a mechanical rotary drum type symbol display device which has two rotary drums, each of which has the symbol shown in Table 1 and Table 2, and is set as a combination of the symbols, under the condition that the same symbol is prepared. Occurrence probability 5/2
5 (0.2), but by setting the value of the comparison value used in the determination processing of step b13 as an area, it is possible to arbitrarily manipulate the occurrence probability per ordinary symbol. The probability of occurrence per normal symbol is 1/5
(0.2) indicates that the probability of a special symbol to be described later being a big hit is 1
Since it is 5/3375, the probability is set higher than the probability of the special symbol hitting.

Such an operation only affects the probability of occurrence of a normal symbol hit, and the contents of the hit symbol and the off symbol itself are processed by the task 2 so that the left and right normal hit symbol data storage registers rlano Since it is set at random in each of the symbol data storage registers rlb and rrb and the left and right out-of-normal symbol data storage registers, it is not easy for a specific symbol combination to appear, and there is no sense of incongruity.

The processing of the task 3 shown in FIGS. 15 to 22 is mainly related to the display of the change of the special symbol.

The CPU 32 that has started the processing of the task 3
First, 1 or 2 is set in the state storage flag Fa as to whether or not it is possible to start a new special symbol variation display based on winning detection in the left, middle, and right type 1 starting openings 16, 3, and 17. It is detected based on whether or not there is (step c1, step c2). If the value of the state storage flag Fa is 1, the special symbol variation display is being executed, and if the value of the state storage flag Fa is 2, the opening operation of the special winning opening 15 is being executed. In this case, it is impossible to start a new special symbol change display. When the value of the state storage flag Fa is 1, the CPU 32 continuously executes the display of the change of the special symbol in the processing of the task 3, and when the value of the state storage flag Fa is 2, substantially, The process of task 3 is not executed.

If the state storage flag Fa is a value other than 1 and 2, no special symbol change display or opening operation of the special winning opening 15 is performed, so that a new special symbol change can be started. is there. At the initial stage, Fa = 0,
The left, middle, and right first class opening ports 16, 3, 17 are waiting for a winning detection.

In this case, the CPU 32 first determines whether or not 1 is set in the storage state identification flag F0, that is,
Task 1, left, middle, right type 1 opening 16,3,1
It is determined whether or not the winning of No. 7 has been detected (step c3).

If a prize is detected in the left, middle, and right type 1 starting openings 16, 3, and 17, the value of the big hit random number storage register RAN1 at the time of the prize detection is determined by the task 1 processing. The storage state discrimination flag Fi corresponding to the determined random number storage register Ri is set to 1 at this time, and at this time, the CPU 32 sends the left, middle, and right first type start ports 16, 3, 17 to the first type start ports 16, 3, 17, respectively. Each time a prize is detected, random numbers are stored in the determined random number storage register Ri in the order of i = 0 to 3, so that if the storage state identification flag F0 is set to 1, the left, middle, right first Seed starting port 16,3,17
Means that at least one prize has been detected (see steps a50 to a56).

If 1 is set to the storage state identification flag F0, the CPU 32 proceeds to step c4, sets 1 to the state storage flag Fa, stores the start of the variable display, and performs the variable display selection processing. Is set to 0 (step c5), and the variable state storage flag Fb defining
A predetermined value is set to the parameters tg to tg (step c6). As shown in FIG. 30, ta to tg are fixed values indicating the switching time of the fluctuation speed of each of the left, middle, and right special symbols.

The CPU 32 having set the switching time of the fluctuation speed of each of the left, middle and right special symbols, then sets the left, middle and right special symbol display LEDs (L) and (L) of the dot matrix LED display 22. (C) and (R), a process of continuously incrementing the values of the display indices il, ic, and ir indicating the symbols to be displayed in each of the symbols (R) and starting a process of rapidly changing the symbols is started (step c7), and the timer T is operated. Then, measurement of the elapsed time after the start of the variable display is started (step c8). In addition, the actual symbol feed is each special symbol display LED (L),
By switching the display output of each row of (C) and (R) by several rows at predetermined intervals, the display is continuously performed as if the symbols flow up and down.
Description is omitted because it is well known as a display technique using elements and the like. In the case of the embodiment, the reference values of the symbol feed speed of each special symbol at the time of high speed fluctuation, medium speed fluctuation and low speed fluctuation are 0.064 seconds / symbol, 0.256 seconds / symbol, 0.5
12 seconds / design.

Further, it is not always necessary to use the dot matrix LED display 22 for each of the left, middle, and right special symbols, and a dot matrix LED display 23 may be used instead. Furthermore, if the symbols based on the display indices il, ic, ir are output to both the dot matrix LED display 22 and the dot matrix LED display 23, the symbol can be changed by the three-dimensional display. In the case of the embodiment, the distance from the dot matrix LED display 23 to the reflection surface of the half mirror 24 is determined by the dot matrix LE.
Since the distance from the D display 22 to the reflection surface of the half mirror 24 is short, the dot matrix LED display 22
When the symbol is output to both the dot matrix LED display 23 and the dot matrix LED display 23, each dot of the dot matrix LED display 23 is overlapped with the dot matrix LED display 22.
Since each dot is closer and larger than each dot, each dot is three-dimensionally displayed with its central portion depressed.

The following description is based on the assumption that the dot matrix LED display 22 is used for displaying the left, middle, and right symbols.

As described above, the variation display of the special symbol based on the winning detection in the left, middle, and right type 1 starting openings 16, 3, 17 is started. Value after th shown, that is, right special symbol display LED
(R) The value that regulates the time of the medium speed and low speed fluctuation is not set.

In the processing after the next cycle, since the state storage flag Fa has already been set to 1, the CPU 32 as the display control means shifts to step c9 after executing the determination processing in step c1, and thereafter, the state change flag Fb Is set to the set value ta in accordance with the current value 0
Until the process reaches step c1, the discriminating process of step c1 and steps c9 to c10 and the process of step c11 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of the left, middle and right special symbol display LEDs (L), (C) and (R) are performed in a predetermined manner. Will be repeatedly executed in the processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display reaches the set value ta while repeatedly executing the high-speed fluctuation processing of each special symbol (step c10), the CPU 32
Reads the value of the determined random number storage register R0 and stores it in the determined value storage register Ra (step c12).
As shown in (b), the data in the storage state identification flags F1 to F3 and the determined random number storage registers R1 to R3 are sequentially shifted to the storage state identification flags F0 to F2 and the determined random number storage registers R0 to R2, and the storage state is determined. The identification flag F3 and the determined random number storage register R3 are set to 0 (step c13).

Next, the CPU 32 determines whether or not the value of the definite value storage register Ra matches the set value ε, that is, the left, middle, and right type 1 starting ports 16 that have started the current symbol variation processing. , 3, 17 at the time of winning detection, it is determined whether or not the value of the random number storage register for big hit RAN1 matches the set value ε corresponding to the big hit (step c14), and the value of the fixed value storage register Ra is set to the set value. If it matches ε, left,
While each value of the middle and right special big hit symbol data storage registers r0a to r2a is stored in the left, middle, right and display special symbol storage registers r0c to r2c (step c15),
If the value of the final value storage register Ra does not match the set value ε, the left, middle, and right special out-of-spec symbol data storage registers r0
The respective values of b to r2b are stored in the left, middle and right display special symbol storage registers r0c to r2c, respectively (step c1).
6), a symbol to be displayed on each special symbol display LED when the fluctuation is stopped is determined.

In the embodiment, the value of the set value ε is set to 15,3
7, 47, 63 and 79 are set to five types of numerical values.

Next, the CPU 32 sets the left special symbol display L
The value of the display index il relating to the left special symbol is changed so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the left special symbol storage register r0c is displayed at the time of the fluctuation stop time tc of ED (L) (step c17). Left special symbol display LED
The fluctuation speed of (L) is switched from the high-speed fluctuation to the medium-speed fluctuation (step c18), and the fluctuation state storage flag Fb is set to 1 (step c19), and the processing of this cycle is ended.

Left special symbol display LED at ta
Although the value of the display index il of (L) is not obvious, the value of the medium speed fluctuation time tb-ta = A of the left special symbol display LED (L) and the low speed fluctuation time tc-tb of the left special symbol display LED (L) are used.
= B is set in advance, and the speed of the left special symbol display LED (L) at the medium speed fluctuation and the low speed fluctuation speed are constant, so the fluctuation of the left special symbol display LED (L) is stopped. The setting change value of the display index il can be obtained based only on the information of the display index r0c of the symbol to be displayed on the left special symbol display LED (L) at the time tc.

According to the processing timing of the embodiment, at the time of switching from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed fluctuation, the current value of the display index il is the display index r0c of the symbol to be displayed on the left special symbol display LED (L) when the fluctuation is stopped. By changing the value of il so that it becomes a display index three symbols earlier than the symbol, it is possible to obtain a symbol of r0c at the time of stopping the fluctuation.

In the processing after the next cycle, the CPU 32 proceeds to step c20 after executing the determination processing in step c1 and step c9, and thereafter, according to the current value 1 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb, the elapsed time after the start of the fluctuation display. T is the set value t
Until it reaches b, the determination processing of step c1, step c9 and step c20 to step c21, the processing relating to the middle speed fluctuation of the left special symbol display LED (L), and each of the middle and right special symbol display LEDs (C) , (R) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

In this manner, the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display is set to the set value t while the fluctuation processing of each symbol is repeatedly executed.
b (step c21), the CPU 32 switches the fluctuation speed of the left special symbol display LED (L) from the medium speed fluctuation to the low speed fluctuation (step c23), and sets 2 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c23). c24), the processing in this cycle ends.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 2, so that the CPU 32
After execution of the discriminating process in steps c9 and c20, the process proceeds to step c25, and thereafter, the step is performed until the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display reaches the set value tc according to the current value 2 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb. c1, step c9,
Step c20 and steps c25 to c2
6; processing relating to low-speed fluctuation of the left special symbol display LED (L); and middle and right special symbol display LEDs
The processing of step c27 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of (C) and (R) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value tc in the determination processing of step c26, the CP
U32 stops the low speed fluctuation of the left special symbol display LED (L) (step c28), sets 3 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c29), and ends the processing of this cycle. When the low-speed change of the left special symbol display LED (L) is stopped, the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the left special symbol storage register r0c is statically displayed on the left special symbol display LED (L). However, if normal display control is hindered by the influence of external noise or the like, another symbol may be displayed when the variable display is stopped. Even in such a case, the ROM 30 is used based on the value of the display index il.
Since the symbol is displayed based on the data read from, the relationship between the value of the display index il and the left symbol is always ensured.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 3, so that the CPU 32
After executing the determination processing of step c9, step c20, step c25, and step c30, the process proceeds to step c31,
Hereinafter, steps c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, and steps c30 to c31 until the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display reaches the set value td according to the current value 3 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb.
And the middle and right special symbol display LEDs (C),
The processing of step c32 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of (R) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value td in the determination processing of step c31, the CP
U32 changes the value of the display index ic relating to the middle symbol so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the middle symbol special symbol storage register r1c is displayed at the time of the fluctuation stop time tf of the middle symbol special display LED (C). (Step c33),
The change speed of the middle special symbol display LED (C) is switched from the high speed change to the medium speed change (step c34), and 4 is set to the change state storage flag Fb (step c3).
5), the process of this cycle ends.

Medium symbol display LED (C) medium speed fluctuation time t
Since the value of e-td = A and the value of the low-speed fluctuation time tf-te = B are the same as in the case of the left special symbol display LED (L),
The condition for changing the setting of the display index ic is the same as that of the left special symbol display LED (L), and when switching from the high-speed fluctuation to the medium-speed fluctuation, the current value of the display index ic is stopped when the fluctuation is stopped. By changing the value of ic so that it becomes a display index three symbols before the display index r1c of the symbol to be displayed in (C), r1 can be set at the time of fluctuation stop.
The symbol c can be obtained.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 4, so that the CPU 32 executes steps c1,
After executing the determination processing of step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, and step c36, the process proceeds to step c37, and thereafter, the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display is set according to the current value 4 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb. Value t
Until e is reached, the discriminating processing of step c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30 and steps c36 to c37, the processing relating to the middle speed fluctuation of the middle special symbol display LED (C) and the right special symbol The processing of step c38 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of the display LED (R) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T after the start of the variation display reaches the set value te during the repeated execution of the variation process of each special symbol in this way (step c37), the CPU 32 activates the middle special symbol display LED (C). The fluctuation speed is switched from the medium speed fluctuation to the low speed fluctuation (step c39), and 5 is set to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c4).
0), the process in this cycle ends.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 5, so that the CPU 32
After execution of the determination processing in steps c9, c20, c25, c30, c36, and c41, the process proceeds to step c42, and thereafter, the elapsed time after the start of the fluctuation display according to the current value 5 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb. Until T reaches the set value tf, steps c1,
The determination process of step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36 and steps c41 to c42, and the special middle symbol display LED
(C) Processing related to low-speed fluctuation and right special symbol display L
The processing of step c43 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of ED (R) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value tf in the determination processing of step c42, the CP
U32 stops the low speed fluctuation of the middle special symbol display LED (C) (step c44), sets 6 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c45), and ends the processing of this cycle. When the low speed fluctuation of the middle special symbol display LED (C) is stopped, the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the middle special symbol storage register r1c is statically displayed on the middle special symbol display LED (C). It will be. Further, even when normal display control is disturbed by the influence of external noise or the like, the relationship between the value of the display index ic and the middle symbol is always ensured.

That is, each of the left special symbol display LED (L) and the middle special symbol display LED (C) is processed by the CPU 32 at a point in time when predetermined set times tc and tf have elapsed after the start of the variable display of the symbols. Will be stopped individually.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the variation state storage flag Fb becomes 6, so that the CPU 32
After execution of the discriminating processes of step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, step c41, and step c46, the process proceeds to step c47. Until the elapsed time T reaches the set value tg, the discrimination processing of step c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, step c41 and steps c46 to c47, and the right special symbol display LED The processing of step c48 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of (R) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value tg in the determination processing of step c47, the CP
U32 is a display index il of the left special symbol display LED (L).
Current value and display index ic of middle special symbol display LED (C)
Whether the current value is equal to the current value, that is, the left special symbol display LED (L) and the middle special symbol display L
A comparison is made as to whether the symbol combination of ED (C) satisfies the requirements for the combination of big hit symbols (step c4).
9) In accordance with the comparison result, various kinds of data required for the special symbol variation processing after the time tg, that is, for setting the time for the medium speed and low speed variation of the right special symbol display LED (R) are set. Become.

First, when the determination result of step c49 is false, that is, the stop symbol of the left special symbol display LED (L) does not match the stop symbol of the middle special symbol display LED (C), If there is no probability of occurrence of
U32 sets a predetermined value to a parameter of th and tj indicating the switching time of the fluctuation speed of the right special symbol (step c50), and then sets the right special symbol display LED (R).
Right display special symbol storage register r at the time of fluctuation stop time ti
The value of the display index ir relating to the right symbol is changed (step c51) so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index 2c is displayed (step c51), and the fluctuation speed of the right special symbol display LED (R) is changed from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed. At the same time as switching to the fluctuation (step c56), 7 is set to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c57), and the processing of this cycle is ended.

The value of the medium speed fluctuation time th-tg = C of the right special symbol display LED (R) and the value of the low speed fluctuation time ti-th = D of the right special symbol display LED (R) are fixed.
The setting change value of the display index ir can be obtained based on only the information of the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed on the right special symbol display LED (R) at the time of the fluctuation stop time ti of the right special symbol display LED (R). . According to the processing timing of the embodiment, at the time of switching from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed fluctuation, the right special symbol display LED is used when the current value of the display index ir stops changing.
By changing the value of ir so that it becomes the display index one symbol before the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed in (R), the symbol of r2c can be obtained at the time of the fluctuation stop.

If the result of the determination at step c49 is true, that is, the stop symbol of the left special symbol display LED (L) matches the stop symbol of the middle special symbol display LED (C), and the big hit symbol is detected. When the necessary condition for the combination is satisfied, the CPU 32 changes the current value of the display index ir relating to the right special symbol to a specific value 2 (step c5).
2) Based on the value of the random number storage register for fluctuation time RAN2 and the information of the display index r2c to be displayed when the fluctuation is stopped, th
Through tj are selectively set (steps c53 to c55).

That is, the variable time random number storage register RAN
When the value of 2 is 0, RO as shown in Table 6
Based on the selection condition file of M30, the change time C corresponding to the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed when the change is stopped is selected, and the parameter th is set to tg + C (step c).
54) If the value of the random number storage register for fluctuation time RAN2 is 1, the ROM 3 as shown in Table 7 is used.
Based on the selection condition file No. 1, the change time C corresponding to the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed when the change is stopped is selected, and the parameter th is set to tg + C, and the parameter th is set.
To a parameter ti by adding a predetermined constant value to the value of
And the value of tj are set (step c55).

[0101]

[Table 6]

[0102]

[Table 7] Therefore, the value of the random number storage register for fluctuation time RAN2 is 0
And the display index r2 of the symbol to be displayed when the fluctuation stops.
If the value of c is 0, 3.104 s is selected from Table 6 as the variation time C, and the value of the parameter th is tg +
If C = 10.336 s, and if the value of the fluctuating time random number storage register RAN2 is 1 and the value of the symbol display index r2c to be displayed when the fluctuating is stopped is 14, the fluctuating time C is expressed. 10.52828 s is selected from 7 and the value of the parameter th is tg + C = 17.760 s.

That is, step c54 and step c
The processing in step 55 is performed by setting the fluctuation time at the medium speed and the low speed to be constant as in the processing shown in step c17, step c33, and step c51, and corresponding to the value of the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed when the fluctuation is stopped. Instead of resetting the value of the display index ir at the start of the fluctuation, the value of the display index ir at the start of the medium speed fluctuation is determined to a specific value and corresponds to the value of the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed when the fluctuation stops. To set medium and low speed fluctuation times.

As shown in Tables 6 and 7, the ROM
Reference numeral 30 denotes a variable time storage for the variable time for displaying the stopped symbol of the display index r2c by making the symbol display of the right symbol display LED (R) make a full round after the variable display of the middle symbol display LED (C) is stopped. While the value is stored in correspondence with the value 0 of the register RAN2, the value 1 of the variable time random number storage register RAN2 is stored in the variable special symbol display LED (C) after the variable display is stopped and then the right special symbol display LED ( R), the display time of the display index r2c is displayed while the symbol display of the display index r2c is made substantially twice, and the variable display time to be selected and set is determined by the current time of the variable time random number storage register RAN2. It is determined by the value and the value of the display index r2c indicating the stop symbol.

In each of Tables 6 and 7, as the value of the display index r2c indicating the stop symbol increases, the fluctuation display time also simply increases. However, on the player's side, the current value of the fluctuation time random number storage register RAN2 is used. It is very difficult to estimate the stop symbol by simply observing the length of the fluctuation time because it is not possible to recognize whether the symbol display makes a full cycle or a full cycle. .

Note that the values of the fluctuation time shown in Tables 6 and 7 are examples based on the processing timing of the embodiment, and do not limit the fluctuation time and the like.

Then, C in which the parameters th to tj are set in the processing of step c54 or step c55.
The PU 32 switches the fluctuation speed of the right special symbol display LED (R) from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed fluctuation (step c5).
6), the variable state storage flag Fb is set to 7 (step c57), and the processing in this cycle ends.

As a result of the variable state storage flag Fb being set to 7, as a result, in the processing after the next cycle, step c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c
30, step c36, step c41, step c4
6, after executing the determination processing in step c58, the CPU 32 proceeds to step c59, and thereafter, the fluctuation state storage flag Fb
Step c1 and Step c until the elapsed time T after the start of the variable display reaches the set value th in accordance with the current value 7 of
9, Step c20, Step c25, Step c3
0, step c36, step c41, step c46
In addition, the determination processing of steps c58 to c59 and the processing of step c60 relating to the middle speed fluctuation of the right special symbol display LED (R) are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

In this manner, the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display is set to the set value t while the fluctuation processing of each symbol is repeatedly executed.
h (step c59), the CPU 32 switches the fluctuation speed of the right special symbol display LED (R) from the medium speed fluctuation to the low speed fluctuation (step c61), and sets 8 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c61). c62), the processing in this cycle ends.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 8, so that the CPU 32 executes step c1,
After execution of the discriminating processes of step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, step c41, step c46, step c58, and step c63, the process proceeds to step c64, and thereafter, according to the current value 8 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb. Steps c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, step c41, step c46, step c58, and steps c63 to c3 until the elapsed time T after the start of the variable display reaches the set value ti. Discrimination processing of step c64 and right special symbol display LED (R)
The processing of step c65 relating to the low-speed fluctuation is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value ti in the determination processing of step c64, the CP
U32 stops the low speed fluctuation of the right special symbol display LED (R) (step c66), sets 9 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c67), and ends the processing of this cycle. When the low speed fluctuation of the right special symbol display LED (R) is stopped, the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the right special symbol storage register r2c is statically displayed on the right special symbol display LED (R). It will be. Further, even when normal display control is hindered by external noise or the like, the relationship between the value of the display index ir and the right symbol is always ensured.

Then, the CPU 32, which has finished displaying the variation display of all the special symbols, sets the value of the variation state storage flag Fb to 9 in the processing after the next cycle, so that the steps c1, c9, c20, c25, c25 c
30, step c36, step c41, step c4
6, after execution of the discriminating process in step c58 and step c63, the process proceeds to step c68, and thereafter, the fluctuation state storage flag F
Step c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c3 until the elapsed time T after the start of the variable display reaches the set value tj according to the current value 9 of b.
0, step c36, step c41, step c4
6, Step c58, Step c63 and Step c
The determination processing of 68 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value tj in the determination processing of step c68, the CP
U32 is a display index il of the left special symbol display LED (L).
Current value and display index ic of middle special symbol display LED (C)
Or not, that is, whether or not the finally displayed stop symbol of the left special symbol display LED (L) and the stop symbol of the middle special symbol display LED (C) match. (Step c69) and left special symbol display LED
(L) Current value of display index il and right special symbol display LED
(R) Whether the current value of the display index ir matches, that is, the left special symbol display LED finally displayed
It is determined whether or not the stop symbol of (L) and the stop symbol of the middle special symbol display LED (C) and the stop symbol of the right special symbol display LED (R) all match (step c70), and the symbols do not match. That is, various data required for the processing of the task 5 is set according to whether or not a big hit has occurred.

First, step c69 or step c7
When the determination result of 0 is false, that is, the left symbol display LE
If the stop symbol of D (L) and the stop symbol of the middle symbol display LED (C) do not match, the CPU 32
Are the state storage flag Fa and the fluctuation state storage flag Fb
Are initialized (step c71, step c7).
2), the processing of this cycle ends.

On the other hand, when both the determination results of step c69 and step c70 become true, that is, the stop symbol of the left special symbol display LED (L) and the middle special symbol display L
ED (C) stop symbol and right special symbol display LED
If all of the stop symbols in (R) match, that is, if a big hit occurs, the CPU 32 initializes the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c73), sets 2 to the state storage flag Fa (step c74), Execution of the processing of task 5 relating to opening of the special winning opening 15 is permitted.

In this embodiment, the current value of the big hit random number storage register RAN1 is stored in the definite random number storage register Ri in the processing of step a12 when a winning is detected in the left, middle, and right type 1 starting openings 16, 3, and 17. At the time when the value is stored, the value of the fixed random number storage register Ri is set to the set value ε (15, 31,
47, 63 and 79), the presence or absence of a jackpot has already been determined, and the middle speed variation display of the left special symbol display LED (L) starts in the process of step c17. At this point, the combination of the special jackpot symbol and the combination of the special off symbol are determined by the processing of step c14 to step c16, but normal display control is hindered by the influence of external noise and the like, and finally the display is completed. It is also conceivable that the pattern to be displayed may be out of order.

However, in the present embodiment, when determining the final special symbol combination, the display indices il, ic, and il, ic, corresponding to the special symbol when the variable display is stopped are replaced with the special symbol combination determined in advance. Since the present values of ir and iu are used, it is possible to make an accurate determination corresponding to the combination of the actually displayed special symbols, even when the displayed symbols are out of order. it can.

In the present embodiment, the probability of occurrence of a big hit is a value obtained by dividing the range of the set value corresponding to the big hit by the value range of the random number storage register for big hit RAN1. In this example, the number of set values corresponding to the big hit is Since there are five types and the possible values of the random number storage register for big hit RAN1 are integers from 0 to 1049, the probability of big hit occurrence is 5
/ 1050 (0.952 / 200). Therefore, a large rotary hit of a mechanical rotary drum type symbol display device having three rotary drums on which the respective symbols shown in Tables 1 to 4 are indicated, and setting a combination of the symbols when three same symbols are completed. It does not match the occurrence probability of 15/3375 (0.888 / 200). Further, the probability of a big hit can be arbitrarily manipulated by changing the value of the comparison value used in the determination processing of step a2 or setting the value of the comparison value used in the determination processing of step c14 as an area. be able to.

For example, assuming that the value of the comparison value used in the discriminating process of step a2 is 1025, the probability of a big hit occurring is 5/1025 (0.975 / 200), and is used in the discriminating process of step c14. The value ε of the comparison value may be set as an area such as 0 <ε <6.

Such an operation only affects the probability of a big hit, and the contents of the special big hit symbol and the special unlucky symbol itself are processed by the task 1, and the left, middle and right special big hit symbol data storage registers are used. r0a to r2a
And left, center, right special outlier symbol data storage register r
Since each of 0b to r2b is set at random, a combination of specific symbols does not easily appear, and there is no uncomfortable feeling.

The processing of the task 4 shown in FIGS. 23 to 25 relates to the opening / closing operation processing of the middle type 1 starting port 3.

As shown in FIG. 31, when the left and right ordinary symbols match in the processing of task 2 and it is determined that a hit has occurred, the middle first kind opening 3 is opened and closed six times. Normal operation flag fa
Is set to 3, the CPU 32 proceeds to step d2 after executing the determination processing of step d1, and first determines whether the opening operation of the middle type 1 start port 3 is possible by setting the operation time flag ft to 1 or 2 or not. Is detected based on whether or not is set.
When the normal operation flag fa is other than 3, the processing of the task 4 is substantially not executed.

If the value of the operation time flag ft is 1, the open state of the middle type 1 start port 3 is being executed, and if the value of the operation time flag ft is 2, the middle type 1 start port 3 is open. 3 is being executed, and in any case, it is impossible to start the opening / closing operation of the first type start port 3. If the operation time flag ft is a value other than 1 and 2, the opening / closing operation of the middle type 1 startup port 3 can be started because the open state or the closed state of the middle type 1 startup port 3 is not being executed. It is in a state. At the initial stage, the operation time flag ft
Is set to 0. In this case, the CPU 32 sets the parameter tk to a predetermined value (step d4), sets the operation time flag ft to 1 (step d5), and sets the first time during opening and closing by the solenoid or the like. The opening operation of the seed opening 3 is executed (step d6), and the timer Tb is operated to start measuring the elapsed time after the opening of the middle first opening 3 (step d7).

In the processing after the next cycle, since the operation time flag ft is already set to 1, the CPU 3
In step 2, the process proceeds to step d 8 after the execution of the discriminating process in step d 1, and the discriminating process in steps d 1 and d 2 to d 3 is performed in a predetermined processing cycle until the elapsed time Tb after the opening operation reaches the set value tk. Will be repeatedly executed.

When the elapsed time Tb after execution of the opening operation of the middle type 1 startup port 3 reaches the set value tk, the CPU 32 determines that the elapsed time Tb has reached the set value tk in step d8. Is closed (step d9), and the value of the number-of-openings storage register C is incremented (step d1).
0), it is determined whether or not the number of executions of the opening / closing operation processing of the middle type 1 startup port 3 has reached the set value 6 (step d11). If it is within the range of the set value 6, a predetermined value is set in the parameter tl (step d12), and 2 is set in the operation time flag ft.
Is set (step d13), the timer Tb is operated to start measuring the elapsed time after the closing of the first type start port 3 (step d14), and the processing of this cycle is ended.

In the processing after the next cycle, the operation time flag f
Since 2 is set to t, the CPU 32 proceeds to step d15 after executing the determination processing of step d1, step d2, and step d3, and executes the elapsed time Tb of the closed state.
Until reaches the set value tl, the determination processing of step d1, step d2, step d3, and step d15 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When it is detected that the elapsed time Tb of the closed state of the middle type 1 startup port 3 has reached the set value tl (step d15), the CPU 32 sets the operating time flag ft.
Is cleared to 0 (step d16), and the processing in this cycle ends. Thus, the first opening / closing operation of the middle type 1 start port 3 is completed.

In the next cycle, as a result of the operation time flag ft being set to 0, the CPU 32 proceeds to step d4 again through step d1, step d2, and step d3, and returns to step d4 to step d7. The processing is executed, and the processing in this cycle ends. As a result, the second opening / closing operation of the first type start port 3 is started.

As described above, the CPU 32 keeps the time until the value of the release number storage register C reaches the predetermined release number 6.
During the steps d1 to d7, the timer T of step d8 including the processing accompanying the opening of the first type start-up port 3 is performed.
b, the time associated with the closing of the first type start-up port 3 during the elapse of the opening time tk (steps d9 to d14), the time counting of the closing time by the timer Tb in step d15, the closing time tl The process of clearing the operation time flag to 0 at the time of (step d16) is repeatedly executed.

The CPU 32 increments the number-of-opening-times storage register C by one each time the process associated with closing the first-type start-up port 3 during the elapse of the opening time tk. When the sixth opening of the mouth 3 ends, the value of the opening number storage register C reaches 6 (step d1).
1).

The CPU 32 determines that the step d11 is true, shifts to the step d17, and sets the release number storage register C
And the operation time flag ft is initialized (step d17,
(Step d18), the normal symbol operation flag fa is initialized (Step d19), the value of the storage number display register Rd is reduced by 1 (Step d20), and the process is terminated.

As a result of the initialization of the value of the ordinary symbol operation flag fa in the processing of the task 2 or the task 4, the determination results of the steps d1 and d2 after the next cycle are both false, and the value of the gate detection state identification flag E0 Is again CPU3
2 (step b4).

Therefore, when a new 1 is stored in the gate detection state discrimination flag E0 due to the re-detection of the gates of the left and right gates 5 and 6, or after a plurality of gate passage detections, the gate detection state discrimination flag E1 and after are detected. In the case where the stored value is shifted, the symbol matching process is repeated again up to 4 times including the first time by the processes after step d4.
It will be started continuously until the time.

FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing an outline of the processing of task 5. When 2 is set to the state storage flag Fa, the CPU 32 proceeds to step e2 after executing the determination processing of step e1, and starts opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 15 driven to be opened / closed by a solenoid or the like. Until the ending condition of the opening / closing operation based on the progress or the detection of the winning number of the game balls to the special winning opening 15 is satisfied, the opening / closing process of step e2 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle,
If it is determined in step e3 that the termination condition is satisfied, the special winning opening 15 is closed and the opening operation is terminated in step e4, and the value of the state storage flag Fa is initialized in step e5. I do.

As a result of the initialization of the value of the state storage flag Fa in the processing of the task 3 or the task 5, both the determination results of the step c1 and the step c2 of the next cycle transition become false,
The value of the storage state identification flag F0 is detected again by the CPU 32 (step c3).

Accordingly, the left, middle, and right first-class starting ports 16,
Determined random number register R by detecting winning again to 3 and 17
In the case where the value is newly stored as 0 or the value stored in the determined random number storage register R1 or later is shifted due to a plurality of winning detections, the symbol combination process is performed again by the process after step c4. It will be started up to four times in a row, including the first one.

In the game board 1, a game is started and a game ball passes through the left gate 5 or the right gate 5, and any one of the left, middle and right type 1 starting ports 16, 3, 17 in parallel. When the game ball wins, the CPU 32 detects and stores an unused gate detection state identification flag Ei based on the detection signals from the left and right normal symbol operation switches SW5 and SW6 in the processing of the task 1 and the left and right. The winning detection signals from the first-type starting opening winning detection switches SW1, SW2, and SW3 are input, and the current value of the big hit random number storage register RAN1 is stored in an unused fixed random number storage register Ri. Each time an input to the one-type starting port 16, 3, 17 is detected, the storage state identification flag Fi is set based on the value of the search index i.

Then, in the process of the task 2, the CPU 32 normally displays the fluctuation of the symbol, and in the task 3, displays the fluctuation of the special symbol. The processes of task 1, task 2, and task 3 are executed repeatedly in parallel by the CPU 32 at predetermined processing cycles (on the order of μs) in accordance with a signal from the clock circuit 35.

[0139] Therefore, in the normal symbol display section 22a and the special symbol display section 22b in the symbol display unit 2, the ordinary symbol display LEDs (A) and (B) display the normal symbol variation display and the special symbol display LED. (L), (C),
(R) or special symbol display LED (L), (C),
The special symbol variation display by (R), (l), (c), and (r) is visually recognized on the game board 1 at the same time.

Tables 8 to 10 show the display and lighting modes of the lamps and LEDs according to the operation state of the pachinko machine. Table 11 shows the speaker identification sound effects according to the operation state of the pachinko machine. It is a table showing a generation mode.

[Table 11]

In the above-described embodiment, the second variable winning device (large winning opening 1) which is opened when the predetermined symbol combination mode is displayed on the second symbol display section 22b.
5), the first variable winning device (a tulip-type electric accessory having a middle-type first opening 3) is set as a starting winning device that starts changing symbols on the second variable display portion 22b. Since the first variable winning device repeats opening and closing of the winning opening a plurality of times (six times), it is possible to win a prize as compared with the first variable winning device performing only one opening operation. It is possible to increase the chances that the player can control the game ball in accordance with the timing at which the game ball is expanded, and to maintain the amusement of whether or not a prize can be won.

[0146]

According to the configuration of the first aspect, the probability that the predetermined display mode is displayed by the first symbol on the first symbol display section is determined by the second symbol display section. Since the predetermined display mode is set to a probability higher than the probability of being displayed by the symbol, the first variable prize device is more easily operated to expand than the second variable prize device. At the same time as winning opportunities are increased, the number of times the second symbol is changed can be relatively increased, and the interest in the game can be enhanced. Also, by winning the first winning device,
When the second symbol is displayed in a predetermined display mode and the second variable prize device is opened, the winning opportunities of the player are further expanded, and the player can benefit. If the prize opportunities are unilaterally increased, the game store may be disadvantageous in terms of business. Therefore, by setting the probability that the second symbol is displayed in a predetermined display mode to be relatively low, the second variable prize is obtained. Opportunities for the device to be opened can be relatively reduced, thereby allowing the player and the gaming shop to balance profits while maintaining the player's interest in the game.

Further, according to the detection signal of the second detection means,
The current value of the lottery numerical means, and the lottery number
Randomly set according to whether the current value of the value means is a hit
Predetermined plural types by the second symbol based on the probability of being performed
Any display mode of the combination symbol is displayed
The type of the second symbol that is variably displayed
Regardless of the number of combinations of symbols and symbols
Of the predetermined multiple combinations depending on the symbol
It is possible to set the probability that the display mode
In the case of a hit, of the predetermined plural types of combination symbols
Which one is displayed can be randomized.

According to the structure of the second aspect, the second figure
Combination symbol displayed by the second symbol on the pattern display section
Is created in a separate process from the judgment of the lottery result by the lottery numerical means.
The symbol combination step to be performed and the created symbol combination
With a memory step for remembering the lottery
