[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention comprises a variable display device in which a plurality of variable display areas are formed on the same display section, and a plurality of variable display areas are formed based on a winning of a game ball to a starting winning opening. Is displayed in a variable manner, and when the combination of the symbols stopped and displayed in each of the plurality of variable display areas becomes a big hit display mode due to the stop of the variable display, the variable winning device can be converted to an open state. The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that generates a state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A variable display device having a plurality of variable display areas capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols (numbers, alphabets, etc. from 0 to 9) is provided. For example, a three-seven type pachinko gaming machine is generally known as a pachinko gaming machine that performs a variable display game in which a plurality of symbols are changed in each of a variable display area and a right variable display area.

[0003] In a pachinko gaming machine equipped with these variable display devices, a plurality of variable display regions in the variable display device are provided in each of the variable display regions based on winning of a game ball into a starting winning opening provided in the game region. Start the fluctuation display by the symbol,
After a certain period of time, the variable display in each variable display area is stopped in the order of, for example, left → middle → right, and the symbols stopped in each variable display area are displayed in a big hit display mode (for example, “7,
7, 7, etc.), the variable winning device generates a big hit state which can be converted to an open state.

[0004] For example, when the variable display in the left variable display area and the middle variable display area is stopped and the reach display mode that can form the jackpot display mode is reached, the right variable display still displaying the variable display mode is performed. A pachinko gaming machine that performs a reach variation display that increases a sense of expectation of stopping at a symbol that can form a big hit display mode by slowing down the variation display of the display area has also been considered.

The middle symbol and the right symbol are converted into a down scroll state, and are stopped when a predetermined time has elapsed.

However, while the auxiliary game (variable display game) is repeatedly performed, the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are all converted to down scroll and fluctuated, and the normal fluctuation time ends. When any of the upper symbol or the lower symbol of the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol coincide with each other and a possibility of the occurrence of a big hit occurs, that is, when the reach state is reached, the auxiliary game The duration of the down scroll is extended as compared with the normal time. At the time of extension, three symbols of a left symbol, a middle symbol, and a right symbol are changed together by a slow down scroll. this
Fluctuations are shown in the symbol array of Fig. 19, left symbol (A), middle symbol
(B), when it explains according to the right symbol (C), for example,
The combination of the lower symbol is "1,1,1" and the lower symbol combination
Set to “0,0,2” and reach in a jackpot manner
Occurs, and the subsequent scroll down
The combination of the lower symbol is "0,0,2" and the lower symbol combination
Sega "2,2,0" → Combination of upper pattern is "2,2,0"
"0" and the lower symbol combination is "1,1,1" → upper
The combination of the patterns is "1,1,1" and the combination of the lower pattern is
"3,3 ,?" → The combination of the upper pattern is "3,3 ,?"
The combination of the lower pattern is "2,2,0" → the upper pattern
The combination is "2,2,0" and the combination of the lower symbols is "4,
4, Z ”→ Upper pattern combination is“ 4,4, Z ”and lower pattern
The pattern combination changes like "3,3?"
Move.

When the extension time has elapsed, the auxiliary game (variable display game) is completed, and the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are stopped from changing at the same time. If the upper or lower symbol at the time of the stop does not match all three symbols, it is "missing" and the auxiliary game (variable display game) wins or wins the start winning opening 4,5,6. It is repeatedly performed based on the winning prize memory. However, when the upper or lower symbol at the time of the stop matches all three, "big hit"
As a result, a special game state (big hit game) in which the cycle game can be performed a predetermined number of times is performed.

Here, the special game state is a game mode in which the player is provided with a lot of chances of obtaining prize balls. In the case of this embodiment, the movable members 51, 51 of the variable winning device 50 are used.
For a predetermined time (for example, 22 seconds) for one cycle (however, before the predetermined time elapses, the variable prize winning device 5).
A predetermined number of gaming balls (for example, 10
When a prize is won, the opening up to that point is defined as one cycle), during each cycle game, a game ball flows into the continuous prize port 53 of the large prize port 52 of the variable prize apparatus 50, and continuous prize detection therein is detected. The detection of the switch 56 (SW ₂ ) as a continuation condition (cycle update condition)
It is performed continuously until 0 cycle.

When the variable display game is performed, the various display lamp LEDs 5 to 22, L
It is notified by a change in the display such as 1 to L6 and a change in the melody sound of a speaker (described later).

When the big hit occurs, the big hit game start wait timer (W ₁ ) at the time of the big hit occurrence, opening of the big winning port 52 before the continuation condition is satisfied in the first to ninth cycles of the big hit game, Each state of the opening after the continuation condition is satisfied, the interval wait time (W ₂ ) between each cycle, the opening of the special winning port 52 in the tenth cycle (final cycle), the end of the tenth cycle, etc.
It is notified by a change in the display of the various display lamps LEDs 1 to 22 and L1 to L6 and a change in the melody sound of a speaker (described later).

Next, among various controls by the control system configured as described above, the first sound effect signal generating means 741 which is performed from the time when the game ball wins the starting winning opening until the “big hit” occurs. The operation control of the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654 by the sixth sound effect signal generating means 746 will be described in detail.

In the control system having the above-described configuration, when the power is turned on and the gaming machine 1 enters a normal operation state, first, the variable display device 2 is controlled by the second control means 830.
The initial symbol display (including numbers, symbols, etc.) is made at 0. At this time, all of the first to fourteenth sound effect signal generation means are inactive, and the amplifier (sound effect creation means) 654
No output signal is generated from the speaker 930 to the speaker 930, and thus no sound effect is generated from the speaker 930 at this time.

In the initial state immediately after the power is turned on, a signal indicating that there is no small discharge unprocessed number is sent from the arithmetic storage means 701 to the prize ball discharge control means 761. Here, the small discharge unprocessed number refers to the discharge processing (small) of the total number of game balls that have won the winning opening (starting winning openings 4, 5, and 6 in the present embodiment) in which seven are discharged. This is the number of winning balls for which the ejection process has not been completed. Therefore, when there is an unprocessed number of small discharges, the discharge of the prize balls by the prize ball discharge device 810 is performed by the normal number discharge (13
Priority) and small emission (seven emission)
A process for exciting the above-described limit solenoid 814b (FIG. 11) is performed.

As described above, when the signal indicating that there is no small discharge unprocessed number is sent from the arithmetic storage means 701, the limit solenoid 814b is demagnetized.
The prize ball discharging device 810 is in a state of discharging a normal number (for example, 13) of one winning ball.

[0112] When the game ball in any of the starting winning opening 4,5,6 been carried out pachinko in this state prize, the prize is detected by starting winning signal generating means SW ₁ detection signal computation storage unit 701 and the first sound effect signal generating means 741.

The arithmetic storage means 701 calculates the added value (total number) of the number of winning balls which have won the starting winning opening based on the detection signal, and calculates one addition ball from the winning ball discharge control means 761. Each time a signal indicating that one corresponding prize ball discharge process has been completed is input, the process of subtracting the added value to 1 is performed, and the small discharge unprocessed number (the small discharge of the prize ball (for example, , The number of winning balls that have not been discharged) are calculated.

When a signal indicating that the small discharge unprocessed number remains (a small discharge unprocessed number present signal) is sent from the arithmetic storage means 701 to the prize ball discharge control means 761, the aforementioned limit solenoid 814b Is excited,
The state is switched to a state in which the prize ball discharging device 810 performs small discharging (for example, discharging seven balls).

On the other hand, the arithmetic storage means 701 separately adds the number of winning balls winning the starting winning opening, and stores the added value within a predetermined limit (for example, the maximum value is set to “4”). . The added value stored in this way is decremented by one every time a signal sent from the start command signal generating means 702 (the signal is generated every time the variable display game is performed once) is input. The signal representing the subtracted value is sent to the command signal generating means 702, and the variable display game is repeatedly executed until the subtracted value becomes "0". The processed number signal is sent to the storage display control means 704, and the unprocessed number (winning storage number) is displayed on the winning number storage display means 770.

[0116] On the other hand the start winning signal generating means and said receiving a detection signal from the SW ₁ first effect sound signal generation means 741
The game ball wins the starting winning opening in accordance with the signal generation timing from the starting winning signal generating means (SW ₁ ) under the condition that the winning number storage stored in the storage display control means 704 is smaller than 4. A sound effect signal is sent to the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654 in order to generate a sound effect (start winning opening winning sound [θ; view]) from the speaker 930.

As described above, the unprocessed number signal of the variable display game is supplied from the operation storage means 701 to the start command signal generation means 70.
2, the start command generating means 702 outputs a start command signal to the second control means 830. The second control means 830 receiving this start command signal outputs a display control command signal to the variable display device 20 to cause the device 20 to change the variable display symbol.

On the other hand, a signal indicating that the start command signal has been sent to the second control means 830 is sent to the operation storage means 701 as described above, and is subtracted from the added value, and a signal indicating the operation result is obtained. Is sent to the storage display control means 704, and the winning number storage display means 770 displays the subtracted number.

A command signal from the start command signal generating means 702 is sent to a second sound effect signal generating means 742, and the second sound effect signal generating means 742 is connected to the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654. , A signal indicating that the variable display symbol of the variable display device is rotating (rotating signal) is output, and the amplifier 654 receiving this signal determines that the symbol is rotating based on the rotating signal. Is transmitted to the speaker 930 in order to generate a sound effect (symbol fluctuation sound [ι; melody 1]) indicating the following.

The start command signal from the start command signal generating means 702 is sent to a stop command signal generating means 703. This stop command signal generation means 703 is provided when a predetermined time has elapsed since the change of the variable display symbol was started.
In order to stop the variable display symbol variation control of the variable display device 20 by the second control means 830, a stop command signal is output to the second control means 830.
To the control means 830.

Further, the stop command signal from the stop command signal generating means 703 is sent to the second, third and twelfth sound effect signal generating means 742, 743, 752 as a signal indicating that the change of the variable display symbol has been stopped. Sent.

Among them, the second sound effect signal generating means 742
Receives the stop command signal, and transmits a stop signal to the amplifier 654 to end the generation of the symbol fluctuation sound by the amplifier (sound effect creating unit) 654. On the other hand, the third sound effect signal generating means 743 is variable when receiving the stop command signal and further upon receiving a signal (reach signal) indicating the occurrence of the reach state from the reach signal generating means 712 described later. In order to generate a sound effect (reach sound [κ; melody 2]) indicating that the reach state of the display game has occurred (reach state identification sound), an effect sound is transmitted to the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654. . Further, the twelfth sound effect signal generation means 752 receives the stop command signal and generates a sound effect (variable display game stop sound [υ; Pooh]) indicating that the variable display game by the variable display device 20 has ended. , And sends a sound effect to the amplifier 654.

The reach signal is transmitted from the second control means 830 to the reach determination means 711 during the change of the variable display.
The signal indicating the fluctuation state of the variable display device sent to
The reach determination means 711 determines whether or not the possibility of occurrence of a “big hit” is included (whether or not a reach state has been reached) and outputs this.

That is, the reach determination means 711 sets the second
Is determined to be the reach state based on the signal from the control means 830, the reach determination signal is sent to the reach signal generation means 712, and the reach signal generation means 71
When the reach signal is sent from the second to the third sound effect signal generating means 743 and the stop command signal and the reach signal are simultaneously received, the third sound effect signal generating means 743 sends the signal to the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654. A sound effect signal is transmitted.

The control for generating the reach sound is performed prior to the control for generating various sound effects based on the fourth sound effect signal generating means 744 and the thirteenth sound effect signal generating means 753, which will be described later. It is continued for a predetermined time. By the time when the generation of the reach sound ends after the predetermined time elapses, the result of whether the variable display game by the variable display device 20 is "big hit" or "losing" is obtained. After the reach sound has been generated, the sound effect is generated by any one of the fourth sound effect signal generating means 744 and the thirteenth sound effect signal generating means 753 (weight sound when a big hit occurs [μ; fan fare]). , Loss sound [φ; boo] is generated.

On the other hand, when the stop command signal is generated from the stop command signal generating means 703 and no reach signal is generated by the reach signal generating means 712, the sound effect by the third sound effect signal generating means 743 is output. The (reach sound) is not performed, and instead, the thirteenth sound effect signal generating means 753 is operated to cause the amplifier 654 to generate a sound effect (loss sound) indicating that the variable display game by the variable display device has ended. A sound effect signal is transmitted.

Incidentally, whether the variable display game by the variable display device 20 is a "big hit" or a "losing" is determined as follows. That is, when the variable display game is played by the variable display device 20, a signal indicating the result is sent from the second control means 830 to the big hit determination means 713. The jackpot determination means 713 makes a determination of "big hit" / "losing" based on the signal, and when the result of the variable display game is "big hit", a determination signal is issued to the big hit signal generation means 716 to generate a big hit signal. Is output. On the other hand, when "losing" occurs, a determination signal is output to the loss signal generating means 714 to generate a loss signal. When the "big hit" is likely to occur as described above, the reach sound is generated by the third sound effect signal generating means 743. On the other hand, when the reach sound is not generated, the variable display game is always executed. Since "losing" occurs, the thirteenth sound effect signal generating means 753 controls generation of a sound effect (losing sound).

When the big hit determination means 713 determines that a "losing" has occurred, the loss signal generating means 714
Sends the loss signal to the thirteenth sound effect signal generating means 753 and the loss wait time end signal generating means 715.

Among them, the thirteenth sound effect signal generating means 753
Receives a loss signal, and transmits a sound effect signal to the amplifier 654 to generate a loss sound. On the other hand, the losing wait time end signal generating means 715
After a lapse of a predetermined time from the thirteenth sound effect signal generating means 753
, A loss wait time end signal is sent. In response to the losing wait time end signal, the thirteenth sound effect signal generation means 753 sets the amplifier (sound effect creation means) 65.
4 to output a stop signal to stop the generation of the losing sound.

On the other hand, when the big hit determination means 713 determines that a "big hit" based on the signal from the second control device 830, the determination signal is sent to the big hit signal generation means 716 as described above.

The big hit signal generating means 716 receives the judgment signal and sends a big hit signal to the fourth sound effect signal generating means 744. The fourth sound effect signal generating means 744 outputs a sound effect signal and outputs the amplified sound signal. (Creating means) 654 to generate a jackpot occurrence wait sound [μ; fan fare] for notifying the wait time state of the jackpot game start.

As described above, when the reach sound generation control by the third sound effect signal generating means 743 is being performed, the end of the display is waited, and the big hit by the fourth sound effect signal generating means 744 is performed. When the sound is generated, a process of creating a wait sound is performed.

The big hit signal from the big hit signal generating means 716 is further sent to a big hit wait time end signal generating means 717. The jackpot wait time end signal generating means 717 generates a jackpot wait time end signal when a predetermined time has elapsed after receiving the jackpot signal. The jackpot wait time end signal generated in this way is sent to the fourth sound effect signal generating means 744, and the fourth sound effect signal generating means 744 instructs the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654 to output the big hit weight sound. Stop the occurrence of

The big hit wait time end signal from the big hit wait time end signal generating means 717 is also sent to the opening start signal generating means 721, and the opening start signal generating means 721 starts opening based on the big hit wait time end signal. Output a signal.

The opening start signal output in this way is sent to the variable winning device 50 to open the big winning port 52 of the variable winning device 50, thereby causing a substantial "big hit" state. . Further, the opening start signal from the opening start signal generating means 721 is also sent to the fifth sound effect signal generating means 745, and the generating means 745 is in a state where the special winning opening 52 is open (however, the continuation condition is still satisfied). The sound effect signal is transmitted to the amplifier 654 to generate a sound effect (open sound before the continuation condition is satisfied [ξ; melody 4]).

At the same time, the opening start signal is also sent to the opening end signal generating means 722, which will be described in detail later, and further to the continuation number determining means 728, and is used for various controls after the occurrence of the "big hit".

Next, sixth to tenth sound effect signal generation means 746 to 750 performed once after the "big hit" is generated.
The sound effect creation procedure of the amplifier (sound effect creation means) 654 based on the sound effect signal from the fourteenth sound effect signal generation means 754 will be described together with the change in the operation of the variable winning device 50.

As described above, when the "big hit" occurs and the opening start signal is generated from the opening start signal generating means 721, the big winning opening 52 of the variable winning device 50 is opened.

When the game ball wins in the continuous winning opening 53 in the special winning opening 52 in a state where the special winning opening 52 is opened, the gaming ball is switched to the continuous winning signal generating means 56 (SW).
₂ ), and the continuous winning signal generation means 56 (S
From W ₂ ), the continuous winning detection signal is sent to the fifth and sixth sound effect signal generating means 745 and 746 and the seventh sound effect signal generating means 747.

Among them, the sixth sound effect signal generating means 74
6 detects the first winning game ball among the game balls entering the continuous winning opening 52 while one opening operation (one cycle) of the special winning opening 52 is performed, and the winning condition is determined by the winning. Is transmitted to the amplifier 654 so as to temporarily generate a sound effect (continuous winning opening winning sound) from the speaker 930, which indicates that the sound effect is established.

The fifth sound effect signal generating means 745 receives the continuous winning signal and receives the signal from the amplifier (sound effect creating means).
By performing 654, the release sound generation control before the continuation condition is satisfied is ended.

On the other hand, the seventh sound effect signal generating means 747
After a sound effect (continuous winning opening winning sound [π; step sound]) indicating that the continuation condition of the big hit is satisfied is generated, it indicates that the large winning opening is still open in a state where the continuation condition is satisfied. A sound effect signal is transmitted to the amplifier 654 to generate a sound effect (open sound [ρ; melody 5] after the continuation condition is satisfied).

A signal indicating the satisfaction of the continuation condition from the continuous winning signal generation means 56 is sent to the second control means 830,
The second control means 830 causes the variable display device 20 to display (change the color of the liquid crystal panel from blue to cherry blossom) on the variable display device 20 based on the signal .
The opening start signal from the opening start signal generating means 721 is transmitted to the opening ending means 722, and the opening ending signal generating means 722 receives the signal from the winning number determination means 724 (this signal is sent to the special winning opening). or winning number indicates whether the determination result becomes a predetermined number (e.g., 10) or more) inputs a, or the opening initiation signal generating means a predetermined time after entering an opening initiation signal from 721 elapses Alternatively, when the earlier condition is satisfied, a signal (opening end signal) for instructing to end the opening of the special winning opening 52 is sent to the variable winning device 50 to end the opening. The release end signal from the release end signal generation means 722 is sent to the seventh sound effect signal generation means 747, and the release sound is generated after the continuation condition is satisfied by the seventh sound effect signal generation means 747. The generation control ends.

Further, the release end signal is sent to the tenth sound effect signal generating means 750, and the tenth sound effect signal generating means 7
Reference numeral 50 transmits a control signal to the amplifier 654 to stop the generation of a sound effect (grand prize opening release sound [σ; melody 6]) indicating that the processing for opening the grand prize opening 52 to be described later is completed. It has become.

By the way, the signal representing the determination result from the winning number determination means 724 is output as follows.

That is, the above-mentioned opening start signal generating means 721
When the special winning opening 52 of the variable winning device 50 is open based on the opening start signal from the
When the player wins the second prize, the big prize mouth winning signal generation means 5
7 (SW ₃ ), and a special winning opening winning detection signal is generated for each detection. The number of occurrences of the winning detection signal is added by the winning number adding means 723, and the winning number determining means 724 determines whether or not the added value indicating the winning number of the game balls is equal to or more than a predetermined value.

By the way, the special winning opening winning signal generating means 5
7 is also sent to the ninth sound effect signal generation number means 759, and the ninth sound effect signal generation means 759 is also sent.
Receives the signal and transmits to the amplifier 654 to generate a sound effect (large winning opening winning sound [ο; view]) indicating a winning of the game ball to the large winning opening 52.

On the other hand, the above-described open end signal generating means 722
Is also sent to the interval start signal generating means 726 and the jackpot ending wait time signal generating means 730.

The interval start signal generating means 726 and the jackpot end wait time signal generating means 73
To 0, the continuous winning determination signal from the continuous winning determining means 725 is input.

Of these, the big hit end wait time signal generating means 730 will immediately switch the "big hit" state if the continuous win determination signal has not been input from the continuous win determination means 725 at the time of inputting the opening end signal. A big hit end wait time signal is transmitted to the fourteenth sound effect signal generating means 754 in order to notify the end for a predetermined time (to generate a big hit end wait sound [ω; melody 7]). The fourteenth sound effect signal generating means 754 receives the big hit end wait time signal, and transmits a big sound end wait sound to the amplifier 654 so as to generate the big hit end wait sound for a predetermined time.

By the way, the above-mentioned continuous winning determination means 725
Receives the signal from the continuous winning signal generation means 56 (SW ₂ ) input to the second control means 830 via the second control means 830, and determines whether the continuation condition is satisfied. It is configured as follows.

Under the condition that the interval start signal generating means 726 release end signal has been transmitted, the continuous winning opening 5
If the determination signal that the game ball has won the game ball No. 3 is input from the continuous winning determination means 725 to the means 726, the interval start signal is transmitted from the interval start signal generation means 726 to the eighth sound effect signal generation means 748. Then, the eighth sound effect signal generating means 748 causes the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654 to generate an interval wait sound [ν; melody 3] indicating that the wait time of the interval is in progress.

The wait time of this interval is a predetermined time from when the special winning opening 52 is closed by the generation of the opening end signal when the predetermined continuation condition is satisfied to when the special winning opening 52 is opened again by the generation of the opening start signal. This is for leaving an interval. The interval start signal from the interval start signal generating means 726 is also sent to the interval end signal generating means 727 at the same time, and the interval end signal generating means 727 outputs the interval end signal when a predetermined time has passed since the above signal was sent. The signal is sent to the eighth sound effect signal generating means 748,
8 stops the generation of the interval wait sound by the amplifier (effect sound creating means) 654.

When the generation of the interval wait sound ends, either the control of generating the special winning opening sound or the control of generating the big hit end wait sound by the fourteenth sound effect signal generating means 754 described later is performed. It is supposed to be. The interval end signal is also sent to the opening start signal generating means 721, and based on the signal, a new opening (opening in the next cycle) of the special winning opening 52 by the variable winning device 50 is permitted. I have.

As described above, once the "big hit" occurs and the special winning opening 52 is opened, the above-described series of controls (the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654, the variable display device 20, and the variable winning device 50) are performed. Each control), the game ball is a variable winning device 50
Is repeated up to a predetermined number of cycles (for example, 10 cycles) on condition that a prize is won in the continuous winning opening 53.

That is, when the continuation winning determination means 725 determines that the continuation condition has been established, this fact is notified via the interval start signal generation means 726 and the interval end signal generation means 727 (the interval end signal (By input) to the opening start signal generating means 721.

The opening start signal generating means 721 uses a signal indicating that the continuation condition is satisfied (an interval end signal is used) or a signal indicating the occurrence of a big hit (a big hit wait time end signal) input when a "big hit" is generated. ), An opening start signal is output to control opening of the special winning opening of the variable winning device 50 as described above.
On the other hand, the opening start signal is sent to the continuation number determining means 728 in order to count the number of opening of the special winning opening.

The number-of-continuations determining means 728 determines whether or not the number of times the opening start signal has been input, that is, the number of times that the special winning opening has actually opened after the occurrence of the "big hit" has reached a predetermined number (for example, 10 times). When the determination means 728 determines that the predetermined number of times has not yet been reached, that is, in the first to ninth cycles, the large winning opening 52 is opened when the large winning opening 52 is opened in each cycle. Sound generation control (including both before and after the continuation condition is satisfied) and interval wait time sound generation control when the interval wait time is closed are performed according to the above-described procedure.

On the other hand, when the last (tenth) cycle is reached and a determination signal indicating the last cycle is sent from the continuation number determination means 728 to the final cycle signal generation means 729, the last cycle signal generation means 729 1
The final cycle signal is sent to the zero sound effect signal generating means 750.

The tenth sound effect signal generating means 750 receives the signal indicating the last cycle and, at the same time, generates the big winning opening opening end sound by the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654 (the big winning opening). The opening end sound is stopped when the opening end signal is generated from the opening end signal generating means 722 as described above.

Further, the amplifier (sound effect creating means)
The 654 is connected to an eleventh sound effect signal generating means 751 for inputting a signal from the fraudulent signal generating means 760, and the eleventh sound effect signal generating means 751 detects the fraudulent occurrence from the fraudulent signal generating means 760. Indicating signal (illegal signal)
Based on the above, the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654 is caused to create a sound effect (illegal sound) indicating fraud. The eleventh sound effect signal generating means 7
The generation of the unusual sound by 51 is prioritized over the generation of various sound effects by the other sound effect signal generating means (741 to 751, 753, 754) described above.

In this embodiment, the second control means 83
The variable display game means is constituted by 0, and the reach state discrimination sound generation control means is constituted by the third sound effect signal generation means 743.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a main routine of sound effect creation processing performed by the first control means (accessory control means) 700 shown in FIG.

In this sound effect creating process, various effect sounds according to the change of the game state are generated by the operations of the first to fourteenth sound effect signal generating means 741 to 754 and the amplifier (sound effect creating means) 654. A change in the game state is generated from the speaker 930 and is notified to the player one by one by the various sound effects.

When the main routine of the sound effect creation processing is started, first, in step S4, it is determined whether or not there is a winning unprocessed storage (whether or not it is a value of "1" or more). The winning unprocessed storage is a stored value of the number of unprocessed winnings in which the variable display game has not been played even though the gaming ball has won the starting winning openings 4, 5, and 6. Therefore, the processing after step S6 is executed only after it is determined that the game ball has won the start winning opening and there is a winning unprocessed memory.

In the next step S6, it is determined whether or not the variable display game has been started by the variable display device 20 (variable display starts to change), and the result of this determination is "Yes".
Then, the process of creating a sound effect indicating that the variable display game is being executed (symbol changing sound creating process) is performed (step S8).

In the following step S10, it is determined whether or not a possibility of occurrence of a big hit has occurred during the variable display game (ie, whether or not a reach state has been reached). As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the possibility of the occurrence of the big hit does not occur (the reach state has not been reached), the processing after step S12 is performed.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the possibility of a big hit has occurred (it has reached the reach state), the processing after step S18 is performed.

First, in step S12, it is determined whether or not the change of the symbol of the variable display game on the variable display device has been completed. After the determination result turns to "Yes", the symbol stop sound generation in step S14 is performed. Execute the process. The symbol stop sound creation process is a process of notifying the player of the end of the variable display game by the variable display device 20 by a sound effect (symbol stop sound) generated from the speaker 930.

In the next step S16, a loss sound creation process is performed to indicate that the game result of the variable display game is a loss, and then the process is re-executed from the step S4.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination in the step S10 is "Yes", that is, when it is determined that the possibility of a big hit has occurred in the result of the variable display game (when a reach state is reached), the step S18 is executed. The process proceeds to step S20 to create a sound effect (reach sound) representing the reach state, and waits for the end of the change of the display of the variable display device 20 in the next step S20 before proceeding to step S22. In step S22, as in step S14, a symbol fluctuation stop sound indicating that the variable display game of the variable display device 20 has ended is performed, and the determination in step S24 is performed.

In step S24, the variable display device 2
It is determined whether or not the result of the variable display game based on 0 is in a jackpot mode (a mode in which a uniform eye such as “7, 7, 7” is displayed). As a result of this determination, when it is determined that no big hit has occurred, the aforementioned step S
After performing the loss sound creation processing in step 16, the process returns to step S4 to repeat the processing again.

On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S24 is "Yes", that is, if it is determined that a big hit has occurred as a result of the variable display game, the flow proceeds to step S26, and the occurrence of the big hit causes Winner 52
Is performed to generate a sound effect (big hit weight time sound) indicating that the process has shifted to the wait time (big hit weight time) until the is actually released, and step S30 is performed.
Proceed to the transition process.

In the step S30, it is determined whether or not the opening operation of the variable winning opening 52 started after the occurrence of the big hit is the opening operation of the last cycle. The result of this determination is “N
o ”, that is, when it is determined that the opening operation of the variable winning opening 52 is not the operation of the final cycle, the process of step S32 is performed.

First, in step S32, a process of creating a sound effect (opening sound before the continuation condition is satisfied) representing an open state before the continuation condition of the big hit is satisfied is performed.
34 is executed.

In step S34, it is determined whether a game ball has won for the first time after opening the continuous winning opening 53 in which the big winning opening 52 has been opened due to the occurrence of the big hit and the game ball can be won (first winning). Is determined, and the result of this determination is “N
If it is o ", the processing after step S35 is executed,
On the other hand, if “Yes”, the processes after step S39 are executed.

In step S36, either a predetermined time has elapsed since the opening of the special winning opening 52, or the number of winning game balls in the special winning opening 52 becomes 10 (10 counts). It is determined whether or not the condition is satisfied.

While the result of this determination is "No", only steps S32, S34 and S36 are repeatedly executed.

When the result of the determination in step S36 changes to "Yes" from this state, the opening operation of the variable winning opening 52 is terminated (the separately controlled accessory control device is not described). ) Sound effect as special game state end sound to that effect (big hit end wait time sound)
After performing a jackpot wait time sound creation process (step S38) to generate the above, the process returns to the step S4 to repeat a series of processes.

Also, as described above, steps S32 and S
When only the game balls 34 and S36 are repeatedly executed and the game ball wins the continuous winning opening 53 for the first time after the opening of the special winning opening 52 (at this time, the determination result of step S34 turns to "Yes"). Then, a process of creating a sound effect (continuous winning opening winning sound) indicating that the continuation condition of the jackpot gaming state has been satisfied is performed (step S39). Next, in step S40, the special winning opening 52 at this time point
A sound effect (opening sound after the continuation condition is satisfied) that indicates that the opening operation is a release operation after the continuation condition is satisfied is created, and then the determination in step S42 is performed.

In the step S42, the step S36
Similarly to the case described above, the predetermined time has elapsed since the opening of the special winning opening 52, or the number of winning of the game balls to the special winning opening 52 is one.
It is determined whether any one of the conditions of zero (10 counts) is satisfied.

When the result of the determination is "No", the process returns to the step S40, and after the continuation condition is satisfied, the process of creating the open sound is repeated. After the result of the determination turns to "Yes", the process proceeds to the step S44.

At step S44 executed when "Yes" is determined at step S42 (the large winning opening 52 of the variable winning device is closed at this time), an interval wait time sound creation process is performed. This interval wait time sound is generated when the opening operation of the special winning opening 52 which has been performed so far under the condition that the big hit is continued is completed, and thereafter, the large winning opening 52 is opened again. A sound effect indicating the state.

Upon completion of the interval wait time sound creation processing, control is performed again from step S30.

As described above, when a big hit occurs, the opening operation of the special winning opening 52 is performed 10 times (10 cycles).
Is repeated until the number is reached.

Then, in the final cycle (the tenth opening operation), the result of the determination in step S30 is "Ye
s ", the sound effect of a melody different from the other cycles indicating that the opening operation of the special winning opening 52 at that time is of the last cycle (sound of opening the special winning opening).
Is performed, and thereafter the control is repeated from step S4.

FIG. 17 shows an interrupt process which is appropriately interrupted when the aforementioned main routine shown in FIG. 16 is performed.

This interrupt processing is performed for the starting winning ports 4, 5, 6
Prize sound when the game ball wins (starting prize mouth winning sound)
, A winning sound when a game ball wins in the special winning opening 52 (a special winning opening winning sound), and an unauthorized sound output when an illegality is generated.

When the interruption process is started, it is first determined in step S60 whether or not there is a winning in the starting winning openings 4, 5, and 6. If there is no winning, the process proceeds directly to step S63, and if there is no winning. If so, the process proceeds to the subsequent step S61.

In the step S61, it is determined whether or not the winning number storage stored in the storage display means 704 (FIG. 15) at this time is smaller than 4. The result of this determination is “Y
In the case of "es", a process of creating a sound effect (start winning prize port winning sound) indicating that the start condition of the variable display game is satisfied is performed (step S62), and thereafter, the process proceeds to step S63. Is “No”
In other words, when the prize balls of the four or more prize balls have already been stored in the storage display control means 704 by this time, an effect indicating that the prize balls have won the start prize port. The process directly proceeds to step S63 without producing a sound (start winning opening winning sound).

In the step S63, it is determined whether or not a game ball has been won in the special winning opening 52 of the variable winning device 50 which is opened when a big hit occurs.
In the case of "s", in step S64, a sound effect (grand prize mouth winning sound) representing the winning of the game ball to the grand prize mouth 52 is created, and then the process proceeds to step S65. On the other hand, the determination result is "No". In some cases, step S64 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S65.

In step S65, it is determined whether or not a fraud has occurred. If the result of this determination is "Yes", that is, if it is determined that a fraudulent game is being played by a player or the like, the flow proceeds to step S66 to perform fraudulent sound creation processing for notifying the staff of the fraudulent occurrence and to change the state. This routine is maintained (held), and when the determination result is "No", this routine is terminated as it is.

If it is determined that there is no prize, the process directly proceeds to step S186. If it is determined that there is a prize, small discharge is performed in step S180. After the number of unprocessed storages is updated (+1 count-up), the flow shifts to step S182.

If it is determined in step S182 that the number of small discharge unprocessed storages is less than "256", the flow directly proceeds to step S186. If it is determined that the number of small discharge unprocessed storages is not less than "256", the small discharge unprocessed storage number is determined in step S184. Then, the process proceeds to step S186.

Then, in steps S186 to S190, it is determined whether the two-system control number corresponds to “0”, “1”, “2”, or “3”. As a result, when it is determined to be “0”, the process proceeds to step S192 in FIG. 30 to check the number of small discharge unprocessed storages at the start of the prize ball and to control the solenoid B, and when it is determined to be “1”, the crank cam 861 (FIG. 10) position detection sensor SWс (FIG. 1)

Is not at the "H" level (high level) (the award ball discharging operation is not being performed), the process of setting the ON information of the solenoid B and the process of updating the chattering removal timer are performed in steps S226 and S228. After performing the steps in order, the process proceeds to step S230.

In step S230, it is determined whether or not the chattering elimination time has ended. If it is determined that the chattering elimination time has not ended, the flow directly proceeds to step S234. If it is determined that the chattering elimination time has ended, the two-system control number is set to "0". Then, the process proceeds to step S234.
