Flowchart showing the subroutine program for
It is. First, in S30, the start winning switch C
(Start winning ball detector 10) is ON
Judgment is made. And pachinko balls are usually variable winning balls
If the player wins the place 4 (see FIG. 1), YES is determined in S30.
A determination is made, the process proceeds to S32, and a start winning switch C is selected.
A determination is made as to whether the check counter is at a maximum. This beginning
The moving prize switch C check counter is used for the starting prize winning switch.
Switch C check counter subroutine program
Every time it is executed, "1" is added by S33.
The maximum value is, for example, “255”. And
If the maximum has not yet been reached, proceed to S33 and start.
The winning switch C check counter is incremented by "1".
And proceeds to S34, where the start winning switch C check card
It is determined whether or not the counter = “2”. If the number has not yet reached "2",
Ends the subroutine program as it is,
If it has reached “2”, the process proceeds to S35, and the starting winning prize
It is determined whether or not the storage counter is “4”. Beginning
Since the upper limit of the dynamic prize memory counter is "4",
If the upper limit of “4” has been reached,
The routine program ends, but still
If it does not reach "4", the process proceeds to S36, and the starting prize is won.
"1" of the start winning prize memory counter accompanying the occurrence of
An addition process is performed. Next, the process proceeds to S37, in which the collision is determined.
Whether the count value of the application counter is "0"
Done. This hit / miss determination counter is described above.
In step S11, "1" is incremented by one.
Is to be rearranged. The hit / miss determination counter is set to "0".
If so, the process proceeds to S38, where the start winning storage counter is set.
The jackpot data is stored in the data storage area corresponding to the value.
Is executed and the subroutine program ends.
You. On the other hand, the hit / miss determination counter was not “0”
In this case, the process proceeds to S39, where the value of the start winning memory counter is checked.
Processing to store out-of-order data in the corresponding data storage area
Is performed and the subroutine program ends. for example
For example, if the start winning memory counter is "1", the data
Big hit data or missed data in area 1 of the storage area
Is stored, and when the start winning prize storage counter is “2”,
Big hit data or miss in area 2 of data storage area
When the data is stored and the start winning memory counter is "3"
If the start winning prize memory counter is "4" in area 3,
In this case, they are stored in the area 4 respectively. Next, in S30, the start winning switch C is set to O.
If it is determined that N has not been reached, the process proceeds to S31,
Clear the dynamic winning switch C check counter and leave
Then, the subroutine program ends. After all, this start
Win switch C check subroutine program twice
The start winning switch C is turned on both times
YES is determined by S34 only when
Therefore, the processing after S35 is performed, and
Start winning switch C is instantaneously set to O
Even if it becomes N, the processing after S35 is performed immediately.
To prevent malfunctions due to noise as much as possible.
It is configured as follows. FIG. 6 is defined by S29 of FIG.

And most of them are in common.
The description is omitted, and the differences are mainly described. At step S45, the start passage memory counter is still not found.
If it is determined that the value is not "4", the process proceeds to S46.
The start pass memory counter is incremented by "1".
The process proceeds to S47, in which the hit / decision determination counter is set to "6" or less.
It is determined whether or not it is below
If so, proceed to S49 and correspond to the value of the start passage memory counter.
The big hit data is stored in the data storage area
The routine program ends. In other words, the starting passage memory

Combination of jackpot identification information when the regular counter is 0-6
(For example, 77). Toes
The probability of a big hit is 7/220 ≒ 3.2 / 100
Become. Next, the hit / miss determination counter is larger than “6”.
If the value is not appropriate, the process proceeds to S48 for determining a collision.
It is determined whether the counter is equal to or less than "21",
If it is less than "21", the process proceeds to S50, and
Data in the data storage area corresponding to the value of the storage counter.
The data is stored and the subroutine program ends. That is, the collision determining cowl at the time of starting passage is used.
If the value of the counter is in the range of 7 to 21,
Combination of identification information such that the variable display device can hit the middle
The stop is controlled at (for example, 33). In other words,
Is 15/220 ／ 6.8 / 100. one
On the other hand, at the time of passing the start, the value of the departure determination counter is "2
If the value is larger than "1", the process proceeds to S54, and
In the data storage area corresponding to the value of the moving passage storage counter
Missing data is stored and subroutine program ends
I do. The value of “6” in S47 and “21” in S48 are
Change setting in the game hall (for example, change setting to 6 levels)
To change the probability of hitting
You may do so. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the tulle defined in S7 of FIG.

Proceeding to S63, the starting winning storage counter is decremented by one, and S6
Proceed to step 4 to completely delete the data stored in the data storage area.
Processing to shift one by one from rear 4 to area 1
Is made. For example, the area of the data storage area up to now
2, the missed data is stored in the process of S64.
Is processed, the data is stored in area 1 of the data storage area.
The Rukoto. Next, the process proceeds to S65, and the call is made in S62.
Judgment as to whether or not the output data is a jackpot
If the data is a jackpot, the process proceeds to S66,
Big hit symbol corresponding to the current value of the hit symbol determination counter
(For example, “777” for “0”, “6” for “1”
66 ”,“ 2 ”,“ 888 ”,“ 3 ”,“ 67 ”
8 ”,“ 4 ”,“ 876 ”) is the planned stop symbol for this time
Then, the process proceeds to S71. Next, the called data was not a big hit
In this case, the process proceeds to S67, where the stop symbol determination counter is
If the value corresponds to a jackpot (for example, “777”, “66”
6 "," 888 "," 678 "," 876 ")
Judgment is made, and if the value does not correspond to the jackpot, S6
Proceed to 8 and keep the current value of the stop symbol determination counter
It is memorized as this scheduled stop symbol. But against the jackpot
If it is a corresponding value, the current value will be
If you store it as a stop symbol, the variable display device will be a big hit
Avoid it because it stops at the combination of symbols
The process then proceeds to S69, where the current value of the stop symbol determination counter is 3
Store the value of the digit +3 as the current stop symbol
To S71. In other words, forcibly by S69
The stop is controlled by shifting the pattern by "3". Then, the flow advances to S71 for setting the basic timer.
The left symbol stop flag is set and the subroutine
The program ends. This basic timer is
The first symbol table when stopping the pattern display LED in order
It determines the basic time until the indicator LED stops.
For example, a time of about 5 seconds is set. The symbol LED control circuit shown in FIG.
In the next execution of the routine program, the S
Because the left symbol stop flag is set by 71
Then, YES is determined in S57 and S75 in FIG.
Proceed to. In S75, left symbol LED change processing, middle symbol L
ED fluctuation processing and right symbol LED fluctuation processing are performed.
Then, the process proceeds to S76. In S76, the basic timer ends.
If it is determined whether or not
Is the design LED control subroutine program
Ends as it is. Meanwhile, the basic timer has expired
In this case, the process proceeds to S77 to determine whether the left symbol is a scheduled stop symbol.
A decision is made. And the left symbol is the scheduled stop symbol.
Exits the subroutine program
I do. And this symbol LED control subroutine
The program is repeatedly executed and the judgment of S77 is repeated
The left design LED fluctuates during that time
If the symbol becomes a scheduled stop symbol, YE is determined in S77.
The determination at S is made, the process proceeds to S78, and the left symbol stop flag is set.
Cleared, sub-blue with the middle symbol stop flag set
The Chin program ends. Next pattern LED control subroutine
When the program is executed,
Because the symbol stop flag has been set,
The determination of YES is made and the process proceeds to S79 to change the middle symbol LED.
Dynamic processing and fluctuation processing of the right symbol LED are performed. So
As a result, the left symbol LED fluctuation process is not performed.
The left symbol is controlled to stop. In S80, the middle figure
A determination is made as to whether the design is a planned stop design,
If not, the subroutine program ends.
Is completed and YES at S80 when the scheduled stop symbol is reached.
Is determined, the process proceeds to S81, and the middle symbol stop flag is cleared.
Subroutine with the right symbol stop flag set
The program ends. Next pattern LED control subroutine
When the program is executed, the right
Since the symbol stop flag has been set,
The determination of YES is made, and the process proceeds to S82. In S82,
Variation processing of the right symbol LED is performed. As a result, the left figure
Because the fluctuation process of the pattern LED and the middle pattern LED is not performed
Then, the left symbol LED and the middle symbol LED are controlled to stop. Next
In S83, it is determined whether or not the right symbol is a scheduled stop symbol.
It is performed, and if it is not the planned stop symbol,
When the routine program ends and the planned stop pattern is reached
In S83, a determination of YES is made, and the process proceeds to S84. In S84, the scheduled stop symbol is a big hit
It is determined whether or not it is a big hit.
The interval timer is set to
If so, proceed to S86 and set the big hit flag.
At the same time, the big hit interval timer is set. Big
The hit interval timer is used to stop the special variable display device.
After the fruit becomes a combination of big hits, it is actually a special variable input
Time interval until the prize ball device is opened
For example, set a time of about 4 seconds
Is done. By this big hit interval time, the player
