Whether the stop flag is set or not, the B symbol stop flag
Is set, A symbol stop flag is set
It is determined whether or not all symbols are stopped.
When the lag is not set, the process proceeds to S39. This D
The symbol stop flag is determined by the second symbol display LED 25d.
This is a stop flag related to the symbol to be displayed.
Set by S86 and cleared by S94. C
The symbol stop flag is determined by the first symbol display LED 25c.
This is a stop flag related to the symbol to be displayed.
Set by S71 and cleared by S84. B
The symbol stop flag is determined by the first symbol display LED 25b.
This is a stop flag related to the symbol to be displayed.
Set by S63 and cleared by S71. A
The symbol stop flag is determined by the first symbol display LED 25a.
This is a stop flag related to the symbol to be displayed.
Set by S56 and cleared by S63. Next, in S39, the big hit flag is set.
A determination is made as to whether or not they have been performed. This jackpot flag
Is set in S82 described later. So
If the big hit flag is set
The subroutine program ends, but the jackpot flag is
If it is not set, the process proceeds to S40 and the start memory
It is determined whether the counter is "0" or not.
In some cases, the subroutine program ends
However, if it is not "0", the process proceeds to S41. In S41
Determines whether the missed interval timer has expired.
Done. This departure interval timer will be described later.
Measure the short time of about 0.6 seconds set by S83
This is a timer that stops when the display result of the variable display
Necessary in order to allow the player to see the fact
It is what becomes. This miss interval timer expires
If not, the subroutine program
It ends, but when it ends, it advances to S42, displays the symbol
A process for calling the current value of the application counter is performed. This figure
The pattern display counter is determined by S11 to S19 described above.
It is controlled so that the count value changes repeatedly.
And the current symbol display counter is counted by S42.
The value is called. Next, the process proceeds to S43, where the data storage area
Processing for calling data in area 1 (see S33 and S34)
Is performed. Next, proceeding to S44, the start memory counter is set.
One is subtracted, and the process proceeds to S45, where the data stored in the data storage area is stored.
One by one in the direction from Area 4 to Area 1
Is performed. For example, data storage until now
The hit / miss data stored in area 2 of the area
When the processing of S45 is performed, the area of the data storage area
1 will be stored. Next, the process proceeds to S46, where S
Whether the data called by 43 is big hit data
Is determined, and if the data is a jackpot, S
Go to 47. In S47, the value of B of the calling symbol is an odd number.
It is determined whether or not it is an odd number.
And adjust the values of B and D of the call symbol to the value of A to obtain A = B
= D is stored as the current scheduled stop symbol
After that, the process proceeds to S55. On the other hand, the value of B of the calling symbol is
In the case of an even number, the process proceeds to S49, and the values of B and C of the calling symbol are set.
The planned stop diagram of this time is the value of A = B = C according to the value of A
A process for storing the pattern is performed, and the process proceeds to S55. Toes
If the called data is a big hit, the variable display
The display result at the time of variable stop of 3 is the same type of 3 symbols
The display is controlled so that it becomes a so-called double eye
But the call symbol B, that is, the symbol display LED 25b
If the value corresponding to is odd, A = B = D
Indication of 25a, 25b and 25d of design display LED
First set so that the result is the same kind of design
It is. Then, as described later, the symbol display LED 25
c when the symbol c is stopped, the symbol display LED 25c and the symbol display L
Control for exchanging display contents with the ED 25d is performed.
Finally, by the symbol display LED 25a, 25b, 25c
Control is performed so that symbols of the same type are stopped and displayed. one
On the other hand, if B of the calling symbol is an even number, the symbol is displayed from the beginning
LED 25a, 25b, 25c have the same type of design as stop system
It is set to be controlled. Next, the called data was not a big hit
If yes, go to S50 and check if the calling symbol is A = B = C
If A = B = C is not determined, S
Go to 52. On the other hand, if A = B = C, the process proceeds to S51.
Then, the process of adding "3" to the value of C of the calling symbol is performed.
After that, the process proceeds to S52. That is, the determination of NO is made by S46.
What is done is a table when the variable display device 3 is variably stopped.
It is necessary to control the results to be out of order.
If the occasional call symbol becomes A = B = C, it is controlled as it is.
Control result, the display result at the time of variable stop of variable display 3
Because it becomes a loose zigzag and the display result of the big hit
In S51, only the value of C in the calling symbol is changed.
"3" is added to force the display result of the symbol display LED 25c.
It is controlled so that the eyes are not displaced
It is. Next, in S52, the calling symbol becomes A = B = D.
It is determined whether or not
Proceed to S53 and leave the calling symbol as it is for this scheduled stop symbol
Is stored. On the other hand, A = B = D
If so, the process proceeds to S54, where the value of D of the calling symbol is changed.
The value obtained by adding “1” is stored as the current scheduled stop symbol.
Processing is performed. That is, as a result of the processing of S51, the variable table
Multiple variable display units of the indicating device 3 stop at different stop times
When controlled, the symbol display LEDs 25a and 25b
However, the same type of symbols is controlled to stop and temporarily reach
However, the display result of the symbol display LED 25c is the symbol display L
Species other than the symbols displayed by ED25a and 25b
It becomes a kind of design. As a result, as described later, the symbol display
The display contents of the LED 25c and the symbol display LED 25d are exchanged.
Control is performed, and the calling symbol is A = B = D
In the case of, the result
By each of the pattern display LEDs 25a, 25b, 25c
The stop-displayed pattern becomes the same type of so-called Zoro eyes
The combination of specific identification information that generates a big hit
In order to avoid such a state,
By 54, the value of D of the calling symbol is forcibly shifted by one.
Even if the display position is exchanged, the specific identification information
Is controlled so that the combination of
You. Then, the program proceeds to S55, in which the fluctuation speed control for each symbol is performed.
A process for clearing the counter is performed. For each of these symbols
The dynamic speed control counter is controlled by a variable display device.
Cowl to adjust the speed of the scroll display of symbols
For example, if the count value is "0",
The pattern changes every 16 msec, and the count value is "1"
In the case of, the design changes every 32 msec and counts
When the value is "2", the pattern changes every 64 msec.
You. These symbol variable speed control counters are described later in S.
60, S66, and S70, "1" is added at a time.
In step S88, "1" is subtracted. Next, proceed to S56.
The basic timer is set, and the A symbol stop flag is set.
And the subroutine program ends. This basic
Timer stops each symbol display LED in order
Basic time until stop of the first symbol display LED when making
The time is set, for example, for about 5 seconds.
Is done. The symbol LED control processing shown in FIG.
In the next execution of the control, the symbol A stop
Since the lag is set, YES in S38
After the determination is made, the process proceeds to S57 shown in FIG. In S57,

Is stopped, the symbol display LED 25a is stopped.
Stop control is performed. Next, proceed to S65 and stop at B
It is determined whether or not it is three symbols before the stop symbol.
If it is determined that the symbol is not in front, the process proceeds to S67,
If it is determined to be three symbols before, proceed to S66,
Increment the variable speed control counter for B symbol by "1"
Then, the process proceeds to S67, and it is determined whether or not the B symbol change has been delayed.
If the power is not delayed,
When the routine program ends, but becomes slow
Proceed to S68. In S68, whether the B symbol is the planned stop symbol
Is determined, and if it is not the scheduled stop symbol,
The subroutine program ends and the scheduled stop symbol
At this stage, the process proceeds to S69, where the scheduled stop symbol is A = B.
A determination is made as to whether or not it is. In other words, this S69
The system determines whether a so-called reach state has been established.
And if the reach state is not established,
Proceeds to S71, but if the reach state is established,
Proceeding to S70, the basic symbol stop C timer is set,
Increment the variable speed control counter for C symbol by "1"
Is performed. This C symbol stop basic timer is
When the reach state is established, the symbol display LED 25c changes.
Movement is performed for a predetermined time.
The time is set to about a second. And C design
Variable speed control counter is incremented by "1"
Therefore, the fluctuation speed of the symbol display LED 25c is 16 msec.
The speed is reduced from c to 32 msec. Next, proceed to S71,
The B symbol stop flag is cleared and the B symbol stop flag is
And the subroutine program ends. The next
Subroutine program for symbol LED control processing
Is executed, the C symbol stop flag is set in S71.
Has been set, a YES determination is made in S36.
Then, the process proceeds to S72. In S72, C design LE
D fluctuation processing is performed. As a result, with A design LED
Because the fluctuation process of the B symbol LED is not performed, the symbol table
The indicating LEDs 25a and 25b are controlled to stop. Next, S7
Proceed to 3 and the C and D symbol exchange flags are set
A determination is made as to whether or not it is. This C, D pattern exchange
The flag is, as described above, the symbol display LED 25c.

If the timer has not expired,
The routine program ends. Basic for stopping this C symbol
Until the timer expires, the symbol display LED 25c changes.
The value of the dynamic speed control counter becomes "1" (see S73).
The design display LED 25c is 32msec /
Change the display pattern at the slow fluctuation speed of the dot
You. Then, when the basic symbol for stopping the C symbol has expired,
Proceed to S78. In S78, the C symbol fluctuation speed becomes slow.
The process proceeds to S79 at a later stage.
Judge whether the C symbol has become the scheduled stop symbol.
At this point, the process proceeds to S80. In S80, the C and D symbol exchange flags are set.
It is determined whether or not it has been set.
If not, the process proceeds to S85, and the planned stop symbol is A = B =
A determination was made as to whether or not it was C, and a NO determination was made.
In this case, the process proceeds to S87, and whether or not the stop symbol is A = B
Is determined, and if A = B, the process proceeds to S88. Toes
That YES is determined by S87.
Is a table at the time of variable stop of the symbol display LEDs 25a and 25b.
The display result becomes the same type of design, and the design display LE
The scheduled stop symbol of D25c is symbol display LED 25a, 25
b is a different type of stop symbol.
In this case, in S88, the C and D symbol exchange flags are
Set, C and D symbols are exchanged, C symbol
The basic timer for stopping is set, and the variable speed control for the C symbol
The counter is decremented by "1" and the subroutine
Gram ends. By the process of S88, the symbol is displayed.
Symbol (for example, 4) and variable display when the LED 25c is stopped
Is replaced with the variable display symbol of the symbol display LED 25d.
When the stop symbol (for example, 4) of the symbol display LED 25c is
It is displayed on the symbol display LED 25d and
The pattern variably displayed by the pattern display LED 25d is the pattern
That the display is continuously variably displayed by the display LED 25c;
Become. Thus, the determination of YES is made in S87.
The second variable display section is still variably displaying
In the step, the stop display content of the first variable display section is
When the conditions for combination of certain identification information are not satisfied
Variable display that is the identification information that does not satisfy
Of the display of the stop of the unit and the table during the variable display of the second variable display unit
The indication is exchanged. As a result, the first variable display section
It will be variably started again. On the other hand, when the scheduled stop symbol is A = B = C,
Or, if the stop symbols A and B are different,
Proceeding to S86, the C symbol stop flag is cleared
, The D symbol stop flag is set and the subroutine
Gram ends. Further, the judgment of YES is made in S80.
If so, the process proceeds to S81, where the scheduled stop symbol is A = B = C.
It is determined whether or not there is, and if A = B = C is not satisfied,
Proceeding to S83, the miss interval timer is set,
If A = B = C, the process proceeds to S82 and the big hit flag
Is set and the jackpot interval timer is set.
Is set. This jackpot interval timer is variable
