Hereinafter, a flowchart showing the main part of the control program stored in the ROM 31 (FIGS. 10 to 40)
The processing operation of the symbol display device 2 of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The processing of task 1 shown in FIG. 10 and the processing of task 2 shown in FIGS.
The processing of task 3 shown in FIGS. 33 to 35 and the processing of task 4 shown in FIGS. 36 to 40 are performed by the CPU 30 every predetermined processing cycle (on the order of μs) according to a signal from the clock reset circuit 40. It is executed repeatedly in parallel.

The processing of task 1 shown in FIG.
This is a process for randomly creating symbols when the right symbol display units 4, 5, and 6 are stopped. The left symbol has 14 levels, and the middle symbol has 14 levels.
The stage and right symbol are provided with 14 stages of symbol data.

The CPU 30 sets the left symbol data storage register r0 and the middle symbol data storage register r every predetermined processing cycle.
1, a combination of left, middle, and right symbols is randomly created by sequentially changing the value of the internal processing index stored in each of the right symbol data storage registers r2.

The CPU 30 creates left, right, and middle symbol data based on the current value of the R register and creates them in the left symbol data storage register r0, the middle symbol data storage register r1, and the right symbol data storage register r2. The value of the internal processing index is stored (step a1).

Here, the R register is a register for storing a state of an execution result every time one instruction of the program stored in the ROM 31 is executed, and is incremented by one each time the CPU 30 executes one instruction of the program. , R registers are cleared to 0 when they reach a saturated state.

The left symbol data is obtained by adding 1 to the values of the fourth, fifth, and sixth bits (values from 0 to 7) of the R register, and adding this added value to the left symbol data storage register r.
It is added to the value of 0 (the value from 0 to 13) and stored in the left symbol data storage register r0. Then, it is determined whether the value of the left symbol data storage register r0 is 14 or more, and if it is 14 or more, 14 is subtracted from the value of the left symbol register r0 and stored in the left symbol data storage register r0. As a result,
Any value from 0 to 13 is set in the left symbol data storage register r0.

The symbol data on the right is 1 in the values of the second, third and fourth bits (values from 0 to 7) of the R register.
And adds the added value to the right symbol data storage register r2.
(Values from 0 to 13) are stored in the right symbol data storage register r2. Then, it is determined whether the value of the right symbol data storage register r2 is 14 or more, and if it is 14 or more, 14 is subtracted from the value of the right symbol register r2 and stored in the right symbol data storage register r2. As a result, any value from 0 to 13 is set in the right symbol data storage register r2.

The middle symbol data is 1 in the values of the 0th bit, the 1st bit and the 2nd bit (values from 0 to 7) of the R register.
Is added and the added value is stored in the middle symbol data storage register r1.
(Values from 0 to 13) are stored in the middle symbol data storage register r1. Then, it is determined whether the value of the middle symbol data storage register r1 is 14 or more, and if it is 14 or more, 14 is subtracted from the value of the middle symbol register r1 and stored in the middle symbol data storage register r1. As a result, any value from 0 to 13 is set in the middle symbol data storage register r1.

The relationship between the values of the internal processing indices and the symbols stored in the left, middle, and right symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 is as shown in Tables 1 to 3, and relates to the left symbol, the right symbol, and the middle symbol. The possible values of the internal processing index are 0 to 13. Therefore, in order to create all the possible combinations of symbols in one cycle, 14 processing cycles are required.

The processing of task 2 shown in FIGS.
Generation of a random number for a jackpot determination used for symbol determination when the special symbol of the left, right, and middle symbol display sections 4, 5, and 6 is stopped, and a random number for a jackpot determination according to a winning of a game ball to the symbol starting port 9. , The symbol change processing of the left, right, and middle symbol display units 4, 5, and 6, and the process of determining the combination of stopped symbols in the left, middle, and right symbol display units 4, 5, and 6. And determining whether the left stop symbol and the right stop symbol match or not, and if they match, repeatedly changing the fluctuation speed of the middle symbol display unit 5 at a low speed and a high speed. This is a process of performing a jackpot determination based on the value, and in the case of a jackpot, performing an opening operation of the accessory winning opening 7.

The CPU 30 that has started the processing of the task 2
First, the values of the internal processing indices stored in the symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 created in the process of the task 1 are compared and determined (step b1), and the internal data stored in the symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 are compared. If all the processing index values match, r0 to r of each internal processing index
Is stored in each of the left, middle, and right big hit symbol data storage registers r0a to r2a (step b2). If the combination of the created internal processing indices does not match and is related to a missing symbol, The current values of the respective internal processing indices r0 to r2 are stored in the left, middle and right off design data storage registers r0b to r2b, respectively (step b3).

Next, the CPU 30 increments the value of the big hit random number storage register W in the range of 0 to 700 (step b4), and determines whether or not the value of the big hit random number storage register W has reached 700. (Step b
5), every time the value of the big hit random number storage register W reaches 700, the value of the register W is initialized to 0 (step b)
6). Therefore, actually, the random number storage register W for the jackpot is
Is not stored as the value of.

After the processing of step b6, the CPU
Reference numeral 30 denotes a value (a value from 0 to 8) of the medium symbol fluctuation random number register U when the left stop symbol coincides with the right stop symbol, that is, the number of repetitions of the low speed and high speed fluctuation of the medium symbol during the reach. It is created based on the current value of the register and is stored in the medium symbol variable random number register U (step b7).

The value of the medium symbol variable random number register U is the value of the 0th bit, the 1st bit and the 2nd bit (0 to 0) of the R register.
Is added to the value of the medium symbol variable random number register U (values from 0 to 8) and stored in the medium symbol variable random number register U. Then, it is determined whether the value of the medium symbol variable random number register U is 9 or more. If the value is 9 or more, 9 is subtracted from the value of the medium symbol variable random number register U and stored in the medium symbol variable random number register U. As a result, any value from 0 to 8 is set in the medium symbol variable random number register U.

After the process of step b7, the CPU 30
It is determined whether there is a game ball winning in the symbol starting port 9 based on whether there is a signal input from the symbol starting port winning detecting switch SW1 (step b8), and it is determined whether there is a signal input from the symbol starting port winning detecting switch SW1. If there is a signal input, the value of the winning storage counter C is incremented by one (step b9), and it is determined whether or not the value of the winning storage counter C has reached the prescribed winning storage number 5 (step b9). Step b
10) If the count has not reached 5, the process proceeds to step b11 and thereafter, and stores the value of the big hit random number storage register W in the determined random number storage registers R1 to R4 in accordance with the current value of the winning storage number counter C. (Step b11)
To step b17), and the process proceeds to step b18 and subsequent steps. As a result, when a game ball is won in the symbol starting port 9, up to four values of the big hit random number storage register W are stored in the determined random number storage registers R1 to R4.

In the discriminating process of step b8,
If the signal input from the symbol opening opening winning detection switch SW1 is not detected, the CPU 30 proceeds to step b18.
The processing shifts to the subsequent processing. Even if the current value of the winning storage number counter C is 5 or more in the determination processing of step b10, the CPU 30 shifts to processing of step b18 and thereafter.

The CPU 30 executes the processing from step b1 to step b18 to execute the left, right, middle symbol display section 4,
Big hit determination random numbers used for symbol determination when symbols 5 and 6 are stopped are created, and the value of the big hit determination random numbers is stored in accordance with the winning of the game ball to the symbol starting port 9.

The CPU 30 executes the task 2 at a predetermined processing cycle.
Is performed, and the processing from step b1 to step b18 is performed in the processing of task 2 each time. Therefore, the description of the processing from step b1 to step b18 will be omitted in the following description of step b18 and thereafter.

Next, the processing after step b18 will be described. The CPU 30 determines the current value of the symbol operation flag Fa in the determination process from step b20 to step b25, and according to the current value of the symbol operation flag Fa, the symbols of the left, right, and middle symbol display units 4, 5, and 6 are determined. A change process and a big hit determination are performed based on the value of the stored big hit determination random number, and in the case of a big hit, the opening operation process of the accessory winning opening 7 is performed. The value of the symbol operation flag Fa is 0 when waiting for a winning detection to the symbol opening 9, 1 while the left, middle and right symbol display units 4, 5 and 6 are changing, 2 and the right and middle symbol display units 5 and 5. During the fluctuation of 6, 3 during the fluctuation of the middle symbol display section 5, 4 at the winning opening 7
During the waiting time until the opening of the special winning opening 7, the opening of the special winning opening 7 is specified and at 6 the closing of the special winning opening 7 is specified. In addition, the fluctuation stop of each symbol is performed in the order of left, right, and middle.

If the symbol change of the left, right, and middle symbol display sections 4, 5, and 6 has not been started, the current value of the symbol operation flag Fa is 0, and the CPU 30 proceeds to step b18.
Is determined to be true, the process proceeds to step b24, and it is determined whether or not the current value of the winning number storage counter C is 0 (step b24). When the value of the winning number storage counter C is a value other than 0, the value of the winning number storage counter is decremented by one (step b25), and the fixed random number storage register R1
To R4 are sequentially shifted to the definite value storage register R0 and the definite random number storage registers R1 to R3, and 0 is set in the definite random number storage register R4 for initialization (step b26). As a result, the value of the winning number storage counter C is decremented by one.
When the winning of the game ball to the symbol starting port 9 is detected in the processing of the above, the value of the big hit random number storage register W is stored in the determined random number storage register R4. On the other hand, if the value of the winning number storage counter C is 0 in the determination processing of step b24, it means that the winning of the game ball to the symbol starting port 9 has not been detected, and in this case, the CPU 30 Ends the process of task 2 without changing the symbol design.

When the processing of step b26 has been executed, the CPU 30 sets a predetermined value A1 in the parameter t as the high-speed fluctuation time of the left symbol (step b27), and then starts the timer by operating the timer T2. (Step b2
8) The value of the symbol operation flag Fa is switched to 1, and the left, right,
The start of the symbol variation process of the middle symbol is stored (step b2).
9), 1 is set to the fluctuation state flag Fb (step b)
30), the high-speed fluctuation processing for the left, right, and middle symbols is started in accordance with the timing chart of the left, right, and middle symbol fluctuation processing shown in FIG. 9 (step b31), and the processing of this cycle ends.

In the present embodiment, the high speed fluctuation time A1 of the left symbol is 6.144 seconds. The value of the fluctuation state flag Fb is a flag that specifies the fluctuation state of the symbols in the symbol display sections 4, 5, and 6, and is 0 when stopped, 1 when high-speed fluctuation, 2 when medium-speed fluctuation, and 3 when low-speed fluctuation. Is defined. Also,
The transition order of each symbol is as shown in FIG. 41, and the transition speed of each symbol is 0.016 seconds for each symbol at high speed.
/ 8 design, ie, 0.064 seconds / design, and at medium speed, 1/8 design, ie, 0.256 seconds / 0.032 seconds.
At low speed, the pattern is 1/8 in 0.064 seconds, that is, 0.512 seconds / symbol.

In the processing after the next cycle, the CPU 30 proceeds to step b32 after discriminating between step b18 and step b19 based on the value 1 of the symbol operation flag Fa.
In accordance with the value 1 of the fluctuation state flag Fb, until the elapsed time T2 after the start of the fluctuation display reaches the value set in the parameter t, the discrimination processing of step b18, step b19 and step b32, step b33 and the left, right B44 regarding the high-speed fluctuation of each of the symbol display sections 4, 5, and 6
Is repeatedly executed in a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T2 after the start of the fluctuation display reaches the value set in the parameter t while the high-speed fluctuation processing of each symbol is repeatedly executed in this way (step b3).
3) The CPU 30 determines whether or not the value of the probability flag Fp is a value 1 that defines the high probability state (step b34). In the determination process of step b34, when it is determined that the value of the probability flag Fp is the value 1 specifying the high probability state, the CPU 30 determines whether the value of the final value storage register R0 matches the set value ε. That is, it is determined whether or not the value of the random number storage register W for the jackpot at the time of winning detection of the symbol starting port 9 which has become the starting stimulus of the symbol variation process this time matches the set value ε corresponding to the jackpot ( Step b36), if the value of the fixed value storage register R0 matches the set value ε, the values of the left, middle and right big hit symbol data storage registers r0a to r2a are changed to the left, middle and right display symbol data storage registers r0c to r2c. (Step b37), if the value of the fixed value storage register R0 does not coincide with the set value 7, the values of the left, middle, and right off design data storage registers r0b to r2b are left, , And stored in each of the right display symbol data storage register r0c to r2c (step b38), left at variation stopped in the right symbol display section 4,
The symbols to be displayed on 5 and 6 are determined.

In this embodiment, the set value ε relating to the jackpot determination in the high probability state is set to 10, 20, 30, 4
There are five types, 0 and 50. That is, in the case of the high probability state, the probability that the symbol change resulting from the winning of the symbol starting opening 9 becomes a big hit is 700 types of the range of the random number for the big hit from 0 to 699. It is.

If it is determined that the value of the probability flag Fp is not the value 1 defining the high-probability state in the determination processing of step b34, that is, if the probability of determining the jackpot is in the normal state, , The CPU 30 determines whether or not the value of the fixed value storage register R0 matches the set value 10 or 255 (step b35), and step b3
When the determination result of No. 5 is true, that is, when the value of the random number memory register W for big hit at the time of winning detection of the symbol starting opening 9 which has become the starting stimulus of the current symbol variation process is related to the big hit. Performs the processing of step b37, and when the determination result of step b35 is false, that is, the random number storage for the big hit at the time of the winning detection of the symbol starting port 9 which has become the starting stimulus of the symbol variation processing of this time. If the value of the register W is not the one related to the big hit, the process of step b38 is performed. In the normal state, the probability that the symbol change resulting from the winning of the symbol starting opening 9 becomes a jackpot is 0 when the number of possible ranges of the jackpot random number is 0.
2 to 700 because there are 700 types from 699 to 699.

After execution of the processing of step b37 or step b38, the CPU 30 sets the display index related to the left symbol so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the left display symbol data storage register r0c is displayed at the time of the fluctuation stop time t3 of the left symbol. The value of il is changed (step b39), a predetermined value A is set to the parameter t as the middle speed fluctuation time of the left symbol (step b40), and the timer T2 is activated to start timing (step b41). 2 is set in the fluctuation state storage flag Fb.
Is set (step b42), and the fluctuation speed of the left symbol display unit 5 is switched from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed fluctuation (step b).
43), the process of the task 2 in this cycle ends. In addition,
In this embodiment, the predetermined value A as the middle speed fluctuation time of the left symbol is set to 0.128 seconds.

Although the value of the display index il on the left symbol display unit 4 at time t1 is not obvious, the values of the medium speed and low speed fluctuation time t3-t1 = A + B of the left symbol display unit 4 are set in advance. Since the medium speed and the low speed fluctuation speed of the left symbol display unit 4 are each constant, based on only the information of the display index of the symbol to be displayed on the left symbol display unit 4 at the time of the fluctuation stop time t3 of the left symbol display unit 4, A setting change value of the display index il can be obtained.

According to the processing timing of the embodiment, when switching from the high-speed fluctuation to the medium-speed fluctuation, the current value of the display index il is one symbol higher than the display index of the symbol to be displayed on the left symbol display section 4 when the fluctuation is stopped. By changing the value of il so as to be the previous display index, a symbol of r0c can be obtained when the fluctuation is stopped.

In the processing after the next cycle, since the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is 1, the CPU 30 proceeds to step b45 after executing the discriminating processing of step b18, step b19 and step b32. In accordance with the current value 2 of the storage flag Fb, steps b18, b19, b32, and b45 through t18 until the elapsed time T2 after the start of the middle speed fluctuation display of the left symbol display unit 4 reaches the value of the parameter t. The discriminating process of step b46, the process relating to the medium speed fluctuation of the left symbol display unit 4, and the process of step b51 relating to the high speed fluctuation of the middle and right symbol display units 5, 6 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle. .

Then, the elapsed time T after the start of the medium speed fluctuation display
When 2 reaches the value of the parameter t (step b46),
The CPU 30 sets a predetermined value B in the parameter t as the low speed fluctuation time of the left symbol (step b47), and sets the timer T2
Is activated to start timing (step b48), and 3 is set to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step b49).
The fluctuation speed of the left symbol display unit 4 is switched from the medium speed fluctuation to the low speed fluctuation (step b50), and the processing of the task 2 in this cycle is ended. In the embodiment, the predetermined value B as the low speed fluctuation time of the left symbol is set to 0.256 seconds.

In the processing after the next cycle, the CPU 30 proceeds to step b52 after executing the discriminating processing of step b18, step b19, step b32 and step b45, and thereafter sets the left state according to the current value 3 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb. Elapsed time T after the start of the low-speed fluctuation display on the symbol display section 4
Step b1 until 2 reaches the value of the parameter t
8, step b19, step b32, step b45
In addition, the determination processing of step b52 and the processing of step b61 relating to the low-speed fluctuation of the left symbol display section 4 and the high-speed fluctuation of the middle and right symbol display sections 5, 6 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T2 after the start of the low-speed fluctuation display on the left symbol display section 4 reaches the value of the parameter t (step b52), the CPU 30 stops the low-speed fluctuation of the left symbol (step b53). At this point, the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index stored in the left display symbol data storage register r0c is statically displayed.

Next, the CPU 30 first stores the 0 and 1 bits (values from 0 to 3) of the R register in the right symbol variation random number register Z in order to set the medium speed variation time of the right symbol display section 6. (Step b54), and then the CPU 3
0 selects the medium speed variation time C (h) of the right symbol display section 6 based on the selection condition file of the ROM 31 as shown in Table 4 according to the current value of the right symbol variation random number register Z and sets a parameter. t (step b55). Further, according to the current value of the right symbol variation random number register Z, the number of symbol variations, ie, medium speed and low speed, based on the selection condition file of the ROM 31 as shown in Table 4. Select the number of symbol fluctuations that fluctuate within the fluctuation time, and based on the selected symbol fluctuation number,
The value of the display index ir relating to the right symbol is selected so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the right display symbol data storage register r2c is displayed at the time of the variation stop time t5 of the right symbol display unit 6 before the symbol variation number. Change the setting to a value (step c
56) The process proceeds to step c57. While the variation time of the left symbol display unit 4 is a fixed value, the right symbol display unit 6
Is random because it depends on the current value of the right symbol variation random number register Z.

[0079]

[Table 4]

In the present embodiment, four types of the medium speed fluctuation time C of the right symbol display section 6 are provided.
One of seconds, 0.544 seconds, 0.800 seconds, and 1.056 seconds is set as the parameter t.

Next, the CPU 30 activates the timer T2 to start timing (step b57), switches the value of the symbol operation flag Fa to 2 (step b58), and sets 2 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step b58). (Step b59), the changing speed of the right symbol display unit 6 is switched from the high-speed changing to the medium-speed changing (Step b60), and the process of the task 2 in this cycle is ended.

In the next processing cycle, the value of the symbol operation flag Fa becomes 2, so that the CPU 30 proceeds to step b20 based on the value 2 of the symbol operation flag Fa, after discriminating between step b18 and step b19, State flag Fb

In the embodiment, the predetermined value D as the low speed fluctuation time of the right symbol is set to 0.480 seconds.

In the processing after the next cycle, the CPU 30 determines that the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is 2, so that the step b1
8, step b19, step b20 and step b
After execution of the determination process at step 62, the process proceeds to step b69.
In accordance with the current value 3 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb, until the elapsed time T2 after the start of the low-speed fluctuation display of the right symbol reaches the value of the parameter t, steps b18, b19,
The determination process of step b20, step b62, and step b69, and the process of step b70 regarding the low speed fluctuation of the right symbol display unit 6 and the high speed fluctuation of the middle symbol display unit 5 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T2 from the start of the low-speed fluctuation display of the right symbol reaches the value of the parameter t (step b).
69), the CPU 30 stops the low-speed fluctuation of the right symbol (step b71). At this point, the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index stored in the right display symbol data storage register r2c is statically displayed.

The time from the start of the change to the stop of the change of the right symbol display section 6 is A1 + A + B, that is, the change time of the left symbol display section 4 is 6.528 seconds in this embodiment.
The medium speed fluctuation time C of the right symbol display section 6 is of four types,
0.288 seconds, 0.544 seconds, 0.800 respectively
Or 1.056 seconds, and the low-speed fluctuation time D of the right symbol display section 6 is 0.480 seconds.
One of 296 seconds, 7.552 seconds, 7.808 seconds, and 8.064 seconds.

Next, the CPU 30 determines the present value of the display index il of the left symbol display section 4 and the display index ir of the right symbol display section 6.
Is compared with the current value, that is, whether the symbol combination of the left symbol display unit 4 and the right symbol display unit 6 in which the variable display is stopped satisfies the necessary condition of the big hit symbol combination. It is determined (step b72), and t is determined according to the determination result.
A variety of data required for the symbol variation process after 5:00, that is, the variation time setting of the middle symbol display unit 5 is set.

First, when the result of the determination in step b72 is false, that is, the stop symbol on the left symbol display unit 4 does not match the stop symbol on the right symbol display unit 6, and there is no probability that a big hit will occur. In the case of, that is, when the reach is not reached, the CPU 30 displays the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the intermediate display symbol data storage register r1c at the time of the fluctuation stop time t7 of the intermediate symbol display unit 5. Then, the value of the display index ic relating to the middle symbol is set and changed to the value one symbol before (step b73), and a predetermined value A is set to the parameter t as the middle speed fluctuation time of the middle symbol (step b7).
4) Activate timer T2 to start timing (step b)
75), the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is switched to 3 (step b76), and the fluctuation state storage flag Fb is set to 2 (step b77), and the fluctuation speed of the medium symbol display section 5 is changed from high speed fluctuation to medium speed fluctuation. Switching (step b78) ends the process of task 2 in this cycle.

In the next processing cycle, the value of the symbol operation flag Fa becomes 3, so that the CPU 30 determines in step b18, step b19, step b20 and step b21 based on the value 3 of the symbol operation flag Fa, and b7
The process then proceeds to step b18, step b19, and step b20 until the elapsed time T2 after the start of the medium-speed fluctuation display of the medium symbol reaches the value of the parameter t according to the value 2 of the fluctuation state flag Fb. , Step b21 and Steps b79 to b80 and the processing of Step b85 relating to the medium speed fluctuation of the middle symbol display section 5 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

Then, when the elapsed time T2 after the start of the medium-speed fluctuation display of the middle symbol reaches the value of the parameter t (step b)
80), the CPU 30 sets a predetermined value B in the parameter t as the low speed fluctuation time of the middle symbol (step b81), starts the timer T2 to start time measurement (step b82),
The variable state storage flag Fb is set to 3 (step b).
83), the change speed of the middle symbol display unit 5 is switched from the middle speed change to the low speed change (step b84), and the process of the task 2 in this cycle is ended.

In the processing after the next cycle, the CPU 30 determines that the value of the fluctuation state flag Fb is 3, so that the CPU b30, b19, b20, b20

86, and thereafter, according to the current value 3 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb, the elapsed time T after the start of the low speed fluctuation display of the medium symbol is started.
Step b1 until 2 reaches the value of the parameter t
8, step b19, step b20, step b2
1, the determination processing of step b79 and step b86,
The processing of step b91 relating to the low-speed fluctuation of the middle symbol display section 5 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T2 after the start of the low-speed fluctuation display of the medium symbol reaches the value of the parameter t (step b).
86), the CPU 30 stops the low speed fluctuation of the middle symbol (step b87). At this point, the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the middle display symbol data storage register r1c is statically displayed. In this case, since the stopped symbol combinations of the left, right, and middle symbol display sections 4, 5, and 6 are not all the same symbol, they are not combinations of the big hit symbols, and the CPU 30 determines the value of the probability flag Fp. Is cleared to 0 and a normal probability state is set (step b88), the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is set to 0 and initialized (step b89),
The value of the fluctuation state flag Fb is set to 0 and initialized (step b90), and the process of the task 2 in this cycle ends.
In this case, since the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is set to 0, in the process of the task 2 in the next cycle, the CPU 30 proceeds to step b24 after the determination process of step b18, and stores the winning in the symbol starting port 9. If there is, a symbol change process of a new symbol is started.

If the result of the determination in step b72 is true, that is, the stop symbol on the left symbol display unit 4 and the stop symbol on the right symbol display unit 6 match, and the necessary conditions for the combination of the big hit symbols are determined. If you reach a satisfactory reach,
0 indicates that the fluctuation speed of the middle symbol display unit 5 is repeatedly and periodically changed between a low speed and a high speed, and the stop symbol which is stopped and displayed on the left symbol display unit 4 and the right symbol display unit 6 fluctuates at the time of the low speed fluctuation. Perform display processing.

First, the CPU 30 reads the ROM 31 as shown in Table 5 according to the value of the medium symbol changing random number register U.
Based on the selection condition file, the number of times the low-speed fluctuation time G and the high-speed fluctuation time H are repeated as one set is selected, and the value is stored in the fluctuation frequency counter C1 (step c1). In this embodiment, the number of repetitions of the low-speed fluctuation and the high-speed fluctuation of the medium symbol is repeated up to three times.

[0095]

[Table 5]

Further, the CPU 30 calculates the number of symbols from the present value of the display index ic of the changing middle symbol to the display index ic '22/8 symbols before the value of the display index il for the left symbol stopped and displayed. Is calculated, and the high speed fluctuation time F of the medium symbol is selected based on the selection condition file of the ROM 31 as shown in Table 6 according to the fluctuating number of symbols, and is set as the parameter t (step c2).

[0097]

[Table 6]

There are 14 types of symbols of the left symbol and the right symbol which are stopped and displayed, as shown in FIG. 41, so that the number of symbols to be changed is also 14. In Table 6, the number of symbols to be changed is every other symbol. However, the shift speed of the symbol at the time of high-speed change is changed by one symbol in 0.064 seconds, and from the start of the change of the right symbol display section 6. 6. Time until fluctuation stop
Since it is any one of 296 seconds, 7.552 seconds, 7.808 seconds, and 8.064 seconds, the medium symbols that are changing at a high speed during this period are 114 symbols, 118 symbols, 122 symbols, and 126 symbols. It will be one of the symbols. Because of this, at the start of fluctuation, the symbol is always in the fixed position,
Even when the right symbol is stopped, the middle symbol is in the fixed position.

After the process of step c2, the CPU 30 activates the timer T2 to start time measurement (step c3), and switches the value of the symbol operation flag Fa to 4 (step c4).
The reach fluctuation state storage flag Fc is set to 1 (step c5), and the fluctuation speed of the middle symbol display unit 7 is kept high-speed fluctuation (step c6), and the processing of the task 2 in this cycle ends.

Here, the reach fluctuation state storage flag Fc

Will be done. In other words, the left symbol display portion 4 and the right symbol display portion 6 stop at the same symbol as the symbol next to the symbol next to the symbol next to the symbol next to the symbol next to the symbol, and change by 10 symbols and 2/8 symbols at a high speed. From the symbol stopped and displayed on the display unit 4 and the right symbol display unit 6, the symbol fluctuates at a high speed up to two symbols and 6/8 symbol before.

On the other hand, in the discriminating process of step c55, when the stopped symbol combination of the left, right, and middle symbol display sections 4, 5, and 6 is a combination of big hit symbols, the accessory is determined according to the timing chart shown in FIG. The opening operation process of the winning opening 7 is executed, and the CPU 30 sets the value of the fluctuation state flag Fb to 0 and initializes it (step c5).

The process ends. In this case, since the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is set to 5, in the processing of the task 2 in the next cycle and thereafter, the CPU 30 proceeds to step c64 after the discrimination processing of step b18 to step b23, and thereafter, the symbol determination Until the subsequent elapsed time T2 reaches the value of the parameter t, the determination processing of step b18, step b19, step b20, step b21, step b22, step b23, and step c64 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

Moves to step c69 after the determination in steps b18 to b23, and thereafter, the value of the symbol operation flag Fa becomes 6
Accordingly, until the elapsed time T2 after the opening of the bonus winning opening 7 reaches the value of the parameter t, the determination processing of Steps b18 to b23 and Step c69 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle. .

In the embodiment, the opening time L of the bonus winning opening 7 is set.
Is 5.900 seconds. When a game ball wins in the bonus winning opening 7 during the opening of the bonus winning opening 7, the winning gaming ball moves along a ball guiding path provided on the back of the gaming board 1 and is weighted by its own weight. The specific winning opening 15 is opened.

When the elapsed time T2 after the opening of the bonus winning opening 7 reaches the value of the parameter t (step c69), the CPU

Next, the opening operation processing of the special winning opening 8 and the third
The processing of task 3 relating to the detection operation processing of the seed starting port 14 will be described.

On one game board, a bonus winning opening 7 opened as a jackpot by matching all the symbols in the symbol display section 3.
When the game ball wins, the specific winning opening 15 in the middle left of the game board 1 is opened. When a game ball wins in the opened specific winning opening 15, the winning game ball passes through a ball guide path provided on the back of the game board 1 and is distributed to the distribution device 10 below the game board 1.
And is distributed by the distribution rotating body 26 that rotates to the left, and falls into either the passage opening 12 or the special passage opening 13. When a game ball guided into the sorting device 10 falls into the special passage 13, it is detected by the specific area winning detection switch SW 4, and the ball receiving portion 65 of the right rotating body 17 serves as the third type starting port 14. The special state having the function of In the following description, a state in which the ball receiving portion 65 of the right rotating body 17 has a function as the third type starting port 14 is referred to as a special state.

The CPU 30 that has started the processing of the task 3
First, it is determined whether or not the ball receiving portion 65 of the right rotating body 17 is in the special state having the function as the third type starting port 14 based on whether or not the current value of the special state flag f1 is 1. (Step d1). Here, the special state flag f1
The value of 1 specifies that the ball receiving portion 65 of the right rotating body 17 is in the special state having the function as the third type starting port 14.

Even if a big hit occurs after the start of the game, the value of the special state flag f1 is initialized immediately after the big hit occurs because it is not determined whether or not the specific area passage detection switch SW4 has been detected. The value of 0 remains as it is, and the CPU 30 determines false in the determination processing of step d1, proceeds to step d2, and determines whether there is a signal input from the specific area passage detection switch SW4 (step d2). If the game ball has not fallen into the special passage 13, there is no input of the specific area passage detection switch SW 4. In this case, the CPU 30 proceeds to step d 27 and opens the special winning opening 8. In order to determine whether or not the opening is in progress, it is determined whether or not the current value of the special winning opening opening flag f2 is a value 1 that defines that the opening is being performed (step d27). In the determination process of step d27, if the special winning opening 8 is open when the ball receiving portion 65 of the right rotating body 17 ends the function as the third type starting opening 14, the special winning opening 8 remains. This is a process for releasing time. When the determination result of step d27 is false, the CPU 30 ends the process of the task 3.

When the game ball falls into the special passage opening 13 when the special state is not set, the input of the specific area passage detection switch SW4 is detected in the determination processing of step d2, and the CPU 30 determines that the state is true. The process proceeds to step d3, where the value of the third-type starting port winning number counter C2 for counting the number of winnings to the third-type starting port 14 is set to 0 and initialized (step d3), and 1 is set to the special state flag f1. The special state is stored (step d4).

After the process of step d4, the CPU 30 determines whether or not there is a signal input from the third-type starting-port winning detection switch SW2, that is, the drop of the game ball into the ball drop-in entrance 22 below the right rotating body 17. It is determined whether or not there is (step d5)
When the drop of the game ball into the ball drop entrance 22 is detected,
The value of the third-type starting opening winning number counter C2 is incremented by one (step d6), and it is determined whether or not the value of the third-type starting opening winning number counter C2 has reached the prescribed winning number 16 (step d7). .

In the discriminating process of step d5, if no drop of the game ball into the ball entrance 22 is detected,
The CPU 30 proceeds to step d10. Immediately after entering the special state, since the total number of game balls dropped into the ball drop entrance 22 has not reached 16, the value of the third-type starting port winning number counter C2 is determined in the determination processing of step d7. It is determined that the defined number of winnings has not reached 16, and the CPU 30 also proceeds to step d10 in this case.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step d10
It is determined whether or not the current value of the special winning opening flag f2 is 1 which specifies that the opening is being performed (step d1).
0) Immediately after the special state is entered, since the opening operation of the special winning opening 8 has not been started, the current value of the special winning opening opening flag f2 is not set to the value 1 defining that the opening is being opened. Move to step d11.

The CPU 30 sets the value of the special winning opening winning number counter C3 for counting the number of game balls winning to the special winning opening 8 to 0.
It is set and initialized (step d11), and it is determined whether or not there is a signal input from the third kind start opening winning detection switch SW2 (step d12). If the determination result is true, the opening time of the special winning opening 8 is determined. M is set to the parameter t5 (step d13), the timer T1 is operated to start time measurement (step d14), and the special winning opening opening flag f2 is set to 1 to indicate that the special winning opening 8 is being opened. Remember (step d
15) According to the timing chart shown in FIG. 43, the excitation command of the special winning opening solenoid SOL1 is output to open the special winning opening 8 (step d16), and the processing of the task 3 in this cycle is ended.

If the signal input from the third-type start-up winning detection switch SW2 is not detected in the determination processing of step d12, the CPU 30 terminates the processing of task 3 in this cycle.

In the processing of task 3 after the next cycle, since the value of the special state flag f1 is 1, the CPU 30
Moves to step d23 after the determination processing of step d1, and determines whether or not the value of the third-type start-up winning number counter C2 has reached the specified winning number 16 (step d2).
3). If the determination result of step d23 is false,
The CPU 30 determines whether or not an input from the specific area passage detection switch SW4 is detected (step d2).
4). If the determination result of step d24 is false,
The CPU 30 proceeds to the processing after step d4, and when it is determined to be false in the determination processing of step d7,
Move to step d10.

In the discriminating process of step d10, the special winning opening flag f2 has a value of 1, which specifies that the opening is being performed. Therefore, the CPU 30 determines that it is true and proceeds to step d17.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step d17
The elapsed time T1 from the opening of the special winning opening 8 is the parameter t.
Until the value reaches 5, the special winning opening winning detection switch S
It is determined whether there is a signal input of W3 (step d18), and if a signal input from the special winning opening winning detection switch SW3 is detected, the value of the special winning opening winning number counter C3 is incremented by one (step d19). ), Step d19
Is executed, the special winning opening winning number counter C3
It is determined whether or not the value of has reached the specified number of winnings (step d20).

If the signal input from the special winning opening winning switch SW3 is not detected in the determination processing of step d18, and if the value of the special winning opening winning number counter C3 is set to 10 in the determination processing of step d20,
If it is determined that the number has not been reached, step d2
Then, the process goes to 8 to set the special winning opening flag f2 to a value of 1 which defines that the opening is in progress (step d28), and ends the processing of the task 3 in this cycle.

In the processing of task 3 after the next cycle, C
In the determination process of step d5, the PU 30 increments the value of the third-type starting opening winning number counter C2 by one each time a signal input from the third-type starting opening winning detection switch SW2 is detected (step d6). In the process of d7, the third
It is determined whether or not the value of the seed starter winning counter C2 has reached the prescribed winning number 16, and the third starter winning counter C is determined.
When the value of 2 reaches the prescribed winning number 16, the CPU 30
The process proceeds to step d8, where the special state flag f1 is cleared to 0 (step d8), and the process proceeds to step d9 to set the value of the probability flag Fp to 1 and set the probability of occurrence of a jackpot relating to symbol determination to the high probability state. (Step d
9).

Also, in the discrimination processing of step d24, when the input from the specific area passage detection switch SW4 is detected, that is, when the game ball falls into the special passage opening 13 during the special state. Also, the CPU 30 proceeds to step d25, clears the special state flag f1 to 0 (step d25), proceeds to step d26, sets 1 to the value of the probability flag Fp, and determines the probability of occurrence of a jackpot regarding symbol determination. Set to high probability state (step d
26).

Even if the special state flag f1 is set to 0, if the current value of the special winning opening flag f2 is the value 1 which specifies that the opening is being performed, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the special winning flag opening flag f2 is being opened. Since it is determined to be true in the determination process of step d3 and the process proceeds to step d17, the special winning opening 8 is opened for the remaining time.

In the determination process of step d17, when it is detected that the elapsed time T1 from the opening of the special winning opening 8 has reached the value of the parameter t5, the CPU 30 proceeds to step d21 to open the special winning opening. The flag f2 is set to 0 to initialize (step d21), the excitation release command of the special winning opening solenoid SOL1 is output, the special winning opening 8 is closed (step d22), and the processing of the task 3 in this cycle is ended. .

The opening operation of the special winning opening 8 is highest when the signal input from the specific area passage detection switch SW4 is not detected after the value of the special state flag f1 becomes 1 after the special state is set. The opening of the special winning opening 8 is performed 16 times. That is, in the processing of the CPU 30, step d
After the processing of step d23, step d24, and step d4, the signal input from the third-type start-up winning detection switch SW2 is not detected in the determination processing of step d5, and the process proceeds to step d10 and step d17. When the opening operation of the winning opening 8 is completed, and the signal input from the third-type starting-port winning detection switch SW2 is detected in the subsequent step d5 of the task 3 processing, the third-type starting port is detected. Each time the signal input from the winning detection switch SW2 is detected once, the opening operation of the special winning opening 8 is performed once.

In one embodiment of the game board according to the present embodiment,
Since the timing at which the third type starting port 14 can be won by the right rotating body 17 is periodic, when the large winning port 8 is open, a game ball can be won at the third type starting port 14. What is necessary is just to make it bounce off the timing.

The condition for ending the special state in which the large winning opening 8 is opened by the game ball winning the third type starting port 14 is that the total number of winnings in the third type starting port 14 after the special state is reached is 16 In this case, the special state ends when the sixteenth prize is detected, or when a game ball newly passes through the special passage 13 during the special state.

The probability flag Fp for changing the probability of occurrence of a jackpot relating to symbol judgment between the high probability state and the normal state is set to a value 1 that defines the high probability state after the end of the special state.
Is set, and the value 0 that defines the normal state is set and initialized at the time of the first symbol determination of symbol variation.

Next, the processing of task 4 relating to the operation control processing of the left rotating body 16 and the operation control processing of the distribution device 10 will be described. The CPU 30 intermittently rotates the left rotating body 16 to the left according to the timing chart shown in FIG.
Is rotated clockwise intermittently.

The CPU 30 that has started the processing of the task 4
First, a rotation driving motor M3 for driving the right rotating body 17 to rotate.
Is output (step e1). Right rotating body 17
Always turns left after power is turned on. Next, the CPU 30
Sets 1 to the left rotating body control flag m1 (step e2), and sets 1 to the sorting device control flag m2 (step e3). Here, each of the left rotating body control flag m1 and the distribution device control flag m2 defines the output of the drive command by 1 and the output of the drive stop command by 0.

After the processing in step e3, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the value of the processing flag fb is 1 which specifies that the processing is waiting. If the value of the processing flag fb is the value 1 that specifies that the processing is waiting, the CPU 30 proceeds to step e2.
The process proceeds to 3, but immediately after the power is turned on, the value does not become 1 which specifies that the process is in a standby state, and is initialized to 0 by an initialization process (not shown) immediately after the power is turned on. CP
U30 determines that the determination process in step e4 is false, and proceeds to step e5.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step e5 determines whether or not the value of the processing flag fb is a value 2 which specifies that the rotation driving process is being performed (step e5). If the value of the processing flag fb is the value 2 that specifies that the rotation driving process is being performed, the CPU 30 proceeds to step e31. However, immediately after the power is turned on, the value of the processing flag fb is 0 in the initial state. Then, the CPU 30 determines that the determination processing in step e5 is false, and proceeds to step e6.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step e6 starts the fixed position detection processing of the left rotating body 16 and the fixed position detection processing of the distribution device 10. The CPU 30 determines whether or not there is an input from the left rotating body fixed position detection switch SW5 (step e6), that is, determines whether or not the left rotating body 16 is at the fixed position. If the input from the detection switch SW5 is not detected, the process proceeds to step e8, while the counterclockwise rotation body position detection switch S5 is set.
If an input from W5 is detected, 1 is set to the left-rotating body fixed position detection flag f3 (step e7), and the routine goes to step e8.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step e8 determines whether or not there is an input from the distribution device home position detection switch SW6 (step e8).
Is determined to be in the home position, and if the input from the distribution device home position detection switch SW6 is not detected, the process proceeds to step e10, while the input from the allocation device home position detection switch SW6 is detected. If so,
The distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is set to 1 (step e9), and the process proceeds to step e10.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step e10
Whether or not the value of the left rotation body fixed position detection flag f3 is 1;
That is, it is determined whether or not the left rotating body 16 is at the fixed position (step e10). If the value of the left rotating body fixed position detection flag f3 is not 1, the process proceeds to step e17, and the left rotating body fixed position is detected. When the value of the flag f3 is 1, that is, when the left rotating body 16 is at the fixed position, 0 is set to the left rotating body control flag m1 (step e11), and step e is performed.
It moves to 12.

When the CPU 30 proceeds to step e12, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the distribution device home position detection flag f4 is 1, that is, whether or not the distribution device 10 is at the home position (step e12). If the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is not 1, the process proceeds to step e17. If the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is 1, that is, if the distribution device 10 is at the fixed position, The distribution device control flag m2 is set to 0 (step e1).
3), 1 is set to the processing flag fb (step e1)
4) The process shifts to the standby state.

When proceeding to step e17, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the value of the left rotating body control flag m1 is 1, that is, whether or not the drive command output has been made (step e17). The value of the left rotating body control flag m1 is 1
In the case of, a drive command for the rotation drive motor M1 that rotationally drives the left rotation body 17 is output (step e18), and the process proceeds to step e20, while the left rotation body control flag m1
If the value of is not 1, the drive stop command of the rotation drive motor M1 for rotating the left rotating body 17 is output (step e19), and the process proceeds to step e20.

Next, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the distribution device control flag m2 is 1, that is, whether or not the drive command output is made (step e20). If the distribution device control flag m2 is 1, Has a rotating body 26
Is output (step e21), and the process of this cycle is ended. On the other hand, if the sorting device control flag m2 is not 1,
A drive stop command for the distributing device driving motor M2 that rotationally drives the distributing rotator 26 is output (step e22), and the process in this cycle ends.

In this embodiment, after the detection of the fixed position of the left rotating body 16, the detection of the fixed position of the sorting device 10 is determined.
That is, in the processing of the CPU 30, after the determination result of step e10 becomes true, the true / false of the determination processing of step e12 is determined. Unless the home position of the left rotating body 16 is detected, the value of the left rotating body control flag m1 is 1, so that the left rotating body 16 continues to rotate left.
As long as the fixed position of the distribution device 10 is not detected, the value of the distribution device control flag m2 is 1, so that the distribution rotator 26 continues to rotate clockwise.

Therefore, in the processing after the next cycle, the CPU
30 is a period until the home position of the left rotating body 16 is detected.
The processing from step e1 to step e10 and the processing of step e17, step e18, step e20, and step e21 are executed. Then, in the discrimination processing of step e6, the left rotation body fixed position detection switch SW5
Is detected, the value of the left rotation body fixed position detection flag f3 is set to 1, the determination result of step e10 becomes true, the value of the left rotation body control flag m1 is cleared to 0, and step e12 is performed. Is performed, and the determination result of the subsequent determination process of step e17 becomes false.
The process of step e19 is executed to stop the left rotating body drive motor M1.

In the processing of task 4 thereafter, in the determination processing of step e8, the distribution device fixed position detection switch S
When the input from W6 is detected, 1 is set to the sorting apparatus fixed position detection flag f4, the determination result of step e12 becomes true, 1 is set to the processing flag fb, and the process proceeds to step e15. The predetermined value S is set in the parameter t6 (step e15), and the timer T3 is operated to measure the elapsed time until the start of the rotation driving process (step e1).
6), after the determination of the subsequent step e20, step e22
Is executed to stop the distribution device drive motor M2.

In the processing after the next cycle, the CPU 30 determines in step e
After the processing of step e2 and step e3, step e
4 is performed, and the process proceeds to step 23.
Step e1, step e2, and step e until the elapsed time T after the detection of the fixed position reaches the value of the parameter t.
3. The determination processing of step e4 and step e23 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle.

When the elapsed time T after the detection of the fixed position reaches the value of the parameter t (step e23), the CPU 3
0 sets a predetermined value P defining the fixed position detection prohibition time of the left rotating body 16 to the parameter t7 (step e24).
A predetermined value Q defining the fixed position detection prohibition time of the sorting device 10 is set in the parameter t8 (step e25), and the timer T4 is operated to start measuring the elapsed time related to the processing of the left rotating body 16 (step e26). Then, the timer T5 is operated to start measuring the elapsed time related to the processing of the sorting device 10 (step e27), and the left rotation body fixed position detection flag f
The value of 3 is cleared to 0 (step e28), and the value of the sorting device fixed position detection flag f4 is cleared to 0 (step e2).
9), the process flag fb is set to 2 and the start of the rotation drive process is stored (step e30), and the process proceeds to step e17. In step e2, the left rotating body control flag m
Since 1 is set to the value of 1 and 1 is set to the sorting device control flag m2 in step e3, step e18 is executed to output a drive command for the left rotating body drive motor M1, and step e22 is executed. Then, a drive command for the distribution device drive motor M2 is output, and the process of the task 4 in this cycle ends.

In the processing of task 4 after the next cycle,
After the processing in step e1, in step e2, the value of the left rotating body control flag m1 is set to 1, and in step e3
Is set to 1 in the sorting device control flag m2. Thereafter, based on the value 2 of the processing flag fb, after the determination in step e4, the determination process in step e5 is executed, and the process proceeds to step e31 to move the left rotating body. The process of determining whether the elapsed time T4 related to the process 16 has reached the parameter t7 (step e31) and the process of determining whether the elapsed time T5 related to the process of the sorting device 10 has reached the parameter t8 (step e35). Is performed, the left rotation body fixed position detection flag f3 in step e38 is determined, and the sorting device fixed position detection flag f4 is determined in step e40. After the process proceeds to step e17, the process of task 4 is performed. finish.

In the determination processing of step e31, the elapsed time T4 relating to the processing of the left rotating body 16 is determined by the parameter t7.
If not reached, the left rotating body fixed position detection flag f3 is set to 0 and the process proceeds to step e35 (step e32), while the elapsed time T4 relating to the processing of the left rotating body 16 is set.
Has reached the parameter t7, it is determined whether or not there is an input from the left-rotating body position detection switch SW5 (step e33). The body position detection flag f3 is set to 1 and the routine goes to Step e35.

In the determination processing of step e35, the elapsed time T5 relating to the processing of the sorting apparatus 10 is set to the parameter t.
8, the distribution device fixed position detection flag f
4 is set to 0, and the process proceeds to step e38 (step e36). On the other hand, if the elapsed time T5 relating to the processing of the sorting device 10 reaches the parameter t8, it is determined whether or not there is an input from the sorting device fixed position detection switch SW6. Is determined (step e37), and the distribution device home position detection switch S
When the input of W6 is detected, 1 is set to the sorting device fixed position detection flag f4, and the routine goes to Step e38.

The CPU 30 determines whether or not the left rotating body fixed position detection flag f3 is 1 (step e38). If the left rotating body fixed position detection flag f3 is not 1, the processing proceeds to step e40. When the left rotation body fixed position detection flag f3 is 1, the left rotation body control flag m1 is set to 0.
Clear (step e39), and the routine goes to step e40. The CPU which has proceeded to step e40 determines whether or not the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is 1 (step e40). If the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is not 1, the CPU proceeds to step e42. If the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is 1, the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is cleared to 0 (step e4).
1) The process proceeds to step e42.

The CPU 30, which has proceeded to step e42,
It is determined whether the left rotation body fixed position detection flag f3 is 1 (step e42), and the left rotation body fixed position detection flag f3 is determined.
If is not 1, the process proceeds to step e17,
When the left rotation body fixed position detection flag f3 is 1, the process proceeds to step e43. C shifted to step e43
The PU 30 determines whether or not the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is 1 (step e43). If the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is not 1, the PU 30 proceeds to step e17.
On the other hand, the sorting device fixed position detection flag f4 is set to 1
If, the process flag fb is cleared to 0 (step e44), and the routine goes to step e15.

As shown in FIG. 44, in this embodiment,
The fixed position detection inhibition time P of the left rotating body 16 is determined by the sorting device 10.
Shorter than the fixed position detection prohibition time. Therefore, until the time elapsed from the start of the rotation drive processing reaches the predetermined value P, the CP
U30 determines false in the determination processing of step e31, shifts to step e32, sets the left rotation body position detection flag f3 to 0, shifts to step e35, and determines false in the determination processing of step e35. Then, the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is set to 0, and the process proceeds to step e38.
In the determination process, the left rotation body fixed position detection flag f3 is 0, so that the determination is false. The process proceeds to step e40, and the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 is 0, and is determined as false. Rotating body fixed position detection flag f3
Is false in the determination process of whether or not is 1, and the process shifts to step e17.

In each process of task 4, each of the left rotating body control flag m1 and the sorting apparatus control flag m2 is set to 1, and the left rotating body fixed position detection flag f3 and the sorting apparatus fixed position detection flag f4 are set. Since each value is 0, the left rotating body control flag m1 and the sorting apparatus control flag m2 are not cleared to 0, so the CPU 30 executes the processing of step e18 and step e21, and sets the left rotating body drive motor M1 and the sorting apparatus. The driving motor M2 is driven to rotate the left rotating body 16 to the left and the sorting rotating body 26 of the sorting device 10 to the right.

When the elapsed time from the start of the rotation drive processing reaches the predetermined value P (step e31), the CPU 30
Determines whether there is an input from the left-rotating-body fixed-position detection switch SW5 (step e33). If the input from the left-rotating-body fixed-position detecting switch SW5 is detected, 1 is set to the left-rotating-body fixed-position detection flag f3. Is set, and the routine goes to Step e35. As a result of setting 1 to the left rotating body fixed position detection flag f3, it is determined to be true in the subsequent processing of step e38 by the CPU 30, so that the left rotating body control flag m1 is cleared to 0 (step e39). After it is determined to be true in the determination process of e42, it is determined to be false in the determination process of step e43, and the process proceeds to step e17. Since the left rotating body control flag m1 is cleared to 0, the CPU 30
Executes the process of step e19 to stop driving the left rotating body drive motor M1. As a result, the left rotating body 16 is stopped at the fixed position, and the input of the left rotating body fixed position detection switch SW5 is turned on.

[0177] In the processing after the next cycle, the CPU 3 waits until the elapsed time from the start of the rotation drive processing reaches the predetermined value Q.
0 executes the processing of steps e1 to e4 and the processing of steps e31, e33, and e34, and proceeds to step e35. After the processing of step e36, the processing of steps e38 and e39 is performed.
After the execution of the determination processing in step e40, step e42, and step e43, processing in step e17 and subsequent steps is performed.
In the processing after the next cycle, the left rotating body control flag m1 is cleared to 0, so that the left rotating body 16 remains stopped at the fixed position.

When the elapsed time from the start of the rotation drive processing reaches the predetermined value Q (step e35), the CPU 30
Determines whether there is an input of the distribution device fixed position detection switch SW6 (step e37), and sets 1 to the distribution device fixed position detection flag f4 when the input of the distribution device fixed position detection switch SW6 is detected. Then, control goes to step e38. As a result of 1 being set to the sorting device fixed position detection flag f4, the subsequent step e40 by the CPU 30
Is determined to be true in the process (3), the sorting device control flag m2 is cleared to 0 (step e41), and is determined to be true in the determination process in step e43.
Sets 1 to the processing flag fb (step e4
4), proceeding to step e15, again setting the waiting time S until the start of the rotation operation processing in the parameter t6, proceeding to step e16, activating the timer T3 to start measuring the elapsed time, and step e17. After the processing in step e19, in the step e20 determination processing, since the distribution apparatus control flag m2 is cleared to 0, the CPU 30 executes the processing in step e22 to execute the distribution apparatus drive motor M
2 is stopped. As a result, the distribution rotator 26 of the distribution device 10 is stopped at the fixed position, and the input of the distribution device fixed position detection switch SW6 is turned on.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the processing flag fb becomes 1, and therefore, after the processing of steps e1 to e3, the CPU 30 determines that it is true in the determination processing of step e4 and executes the processing of step e23 and thereafter. I do. CPU 30
Executes the processing of task 4, and intermittently repeats the left rotation operation of the left rotation body 16 and the right rotation operation of the sorting device 10.

The processing of the CPU 30 relating to the tasks 1 to 4 in the embodiment of the pachinko machine according to the present invention has been described above. In the present embodiment, the game ball is awarded to the symbol starting port 9 serving as a starting stimulus for symbol variation. At times, the value of the random number for jackpot determination is stored, and based on the value of the random number for jackpot determination at this time, it is determined whether or not the jackpot is lost, while the symbol data for jackpot and the symbol data for disconnection are created, When the symbols are stopped in the order of left, right, and middle, a symbol for a big hit is displayed if a big hit occurs, and a symbol for a miss is displayed if the big hit is lost. Also, the symbols displayed at the time of the big hit are all the same symbols on the left, middle and right.

The symbols stopped and displayed on the left, middle, and right symbol display sections 4, 5, and 6 always have the same symbol when the hit is a big hit, but when the symbols are off, For example, the combination of left, middle, and right symbols is 14
As shown in FIG. 1, there is a design in which the left and right designs are the same and only the middle design is different. The symbol display device of the pachinko machine of the present invention, when the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped, when the left symbol and the right symbol are the same, that is, in the case of reach, in the case of a big hit and off Regardless of the case, in the middle symbol display unit 5 which is not stopped, the variable display is periodically and repeatedly performed at a low speed and a high speed, and at the low speed at which the variable display is periodically and repeatedly performed at a low speed and a high speed. The stopped symbols are displayed at low speed on the left symbol display unit 4 and the right symbol display unit 6.

Therefore, when the player reaches the reach, the player can visually recognize whether or not the game is stopped at least once with the symbol matching of the jackpot, and at the time of the reach, always give the player a sense of expectation. Becomes Then, during the repetition time, the middle symbol is not stopped, but after that, it is stopped after slowing down, so that the player can expect whether a big hit will occur again.

Also, in the present embodiment, the number of repetitions at the time of cyclically changing display at low speed and high speed is arbitrarily changed according to the value of the random number for medium symbol change. Depending on the number of symbols that change from the symbol to the symbol that finally stops, the variation speed can be low, high,
Since we switch gradually between medium speed and low speed,
It is impossible for a player to guess whether a jackpot or a miss is due to the stop timing of the middle symbol, and it is impossible to know if the jackpot is not stopped unless the middle symbol is stopped, and to the player until the middle symbol stops. That's enough to make them feel excited.

[0184]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the reach is achieved.
Each time, the remaining one symbol display part is low speed and high speed
Since the repetition of the fluctuating speed is performed, the display mode in the symbol display unit for continuing the fluctuating display is displayed to
It can give more expectation. Also low
After repeating at high speed and high speed,
Made by varying in the manner since such that symbol stop, variable
At the point where the dynamic speed is different from the repetition, the player is made to recognize that it is not a mere repetition of low speed and high speed,
Subsequently, it is not known whether or not a big hit has occurred unless the remaining one symbol display unit is stopped. Until the remaining one symbol display unit stops, the player can have a sufficient sense of expectation. .

According to the structure of the second aspect, the fluctuation speed
Different from the repetition of the combination of low speed and high speed
Since the combination of two or more types of fluctuating speeds other than the above, after the pattern is repeated at low speed and high speed, the variation of fluctuating speed can be abundant until the symbol stops, and until the remaining one symbol display part stops In the meantime, the player can be sufficiently expected.

According to the configuration of the third aspect, display control
Means for changing the fluctuation speed of the remaining one symbol display portion to a low speed and a high speed
And then reduce the fluctuation speed other than low speed and high speed.
Combine two or more different speeds including one
The pattern is stopped by changing the speed, so the changing speed other than low speed and high speed
When the time comes, the player simply repeats the slow and fast
It can be clearly recognized that it is not a big hit, and then it is not known unless the remaining one symbol display unit is stopped, and until the time when the remaining one symbol display unit stops, the player Expectations can be made sufficiently.

According to the structure of the fourth aspect, display control
The means repeats the change speed of the remaining one symbol display portion at a low speed and a high speed, and then changes the speed other than the low speed and the high speed according to the number of symbols up to a stop symbol predetermined by the value of the internal index.
And the speed is varied by combining at least one comprises two or more different changing speed since symbols stopped, predetermine
Variability of the fluctuation speed according to the number of symbols up to the stopped symbol
The speed can be varied and speeds other than low speed and high speed can be changed.
Sometimes it ’s not just a repetition of slow and fast
It can be clearly recognized, and whether it is a big hit can not be known unless the remaining one symbol display unit is stopped, and the player expects enough until the remaining one symbol display unit stops. I can make you feel.
