(For details, refer to a subroutine described later). This is
When the retaining device release switch 27 is operated, the stored ball
Release device 75 each time to release the storage balls one by one.
It is discharged toward the normal electricity operation gate 71. Stay
After step S22, the program ends. [0045]Special map processing FIG. 11 is a special view of step S12 in the main routine.
It is a flowchart which shows the subroutine of a process. this
When the subroutine is started, first, in step S50, the right
Whether or not interest is accrued (ie, a third type of right is accrued)
Determine. If the right is being generated, end this routine.
In step S14 in the main routine,
Move on to If the right is not being generated, the following step S
52, whether the special figure is in operation, that is, the special symbol display
It is determined whether the device 65 is moving and blinking. Special figure operation
If it is not in the middle, the process proceeds to step S54 to start winning opening (V)
It is determined whether there is a prize in 73. Now if there is no prize
Ends routine and returns. So this
Sometimes the special map is not operating, and the starting winning opening (V) 73 is also
Since there is no prize, even if a ball enters the accessory device 62, general entry
Wins a prize mouth and only a certain number of prize balls are discharged.
You. Usually, there are many such cases. On the other hand, in step S54, the starting winning opening (V)
If there is a prize to 73, the process proceeds to step S56,
A random symbol is extracted to determine a stop symbol. Toku-zu random numbers are probabilities
According to the probability set value set by the setting device 325
Extracted at random. Therefore, ★ mark, ○
Mark, random number corresponding to "5" or "16" is extracted
Is done. Note that toku-zu only works during normal games.
So, even if you win the start winning prize 73 during a big hit,
Does not work, preventing punctures during rights
it can. Next, in step S58, the movement of the special figure is started blinking.
Start. As a result, the special symbol display device 65 moves and blinks.
Is started and determined by the special figure random number extracted after a certain time
It will stop at the symbol that was made. After step S58
Returns. That is, the special symbol display device 65
Starts moving and blinking, the next routine
The determination result in S52 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S60.
Diverge. In step S60, the figure of the special symbol display device 65
It is determined whether or not it is the pattern movement stop timing. Pattern transfer
If it is not the timing to stop the operation, this routine is terminated.
Return, and then, in the next routine,
When the time comes, the process proceeds to step S62 to flash the movement.
Stop. Next, at step S64, the movement blinking is stopped.
It is determined whether or not the result is a winning symbol. Stop result is
If not, the routine ends and returns. one
On the other hand, if the stop result is a hit symbol, the process proceeds to step S66.
Then, it is determined whether or not the winning symbol is "16". Hit
If the symbol is "16", the process proceeds to step S68 to select the third type.
There is 10 seconds on condition that a game ball is won in the starting port 82c.
The cycle is changed until one or ten game balls are awarded as one cycle.
Run the prize winning device 84 only for 16 cycles, the maximum number of continuations.
Generate the right to open and return. Also,
If the determination result of step S66 is not "16", it is "5".

Generate the right to open. [0048]Processing during rights FIG. 12 shows the right of step S14 in the main routine.
It is a flowchart which shows the subroutine of a middle process. This
When the subroutine is started, first, in step S100
Whether rights are being generated (ie, a third type of right is being generated)
Is determined. If this is not the case,
Finish, and repeat step S16 in the main routine.
The process proceeds to the turn guidance device processing. Continue if rights are in effect
At step S102, a game ball is inserted into the third type starting port 82c.
It is determined whether there is a prize. Entering the 3rd kind start port 82c
If there is no prize, end this routine and return
You. In addition, if there is a prize in the third type starting port 82c, the continuation is continued.
In step S104, the variable prize winning device 84 is adjusted to a predetermined condition.
To open. The predetermined condition here is, for example, 10 seconds.
Or until 10 game balls win.
With this as one cycle, the variable winning device 84 is opened.
It is. Next, at step S106, the third type starting port
It is determined whether or not the winning of the game ball to 82c is the upper limit value.
You. For example, the jackpot this time succeeds the variable prize winning device 84
If you have the right to open for 16 cycles,
The upper limit of winning of the game ball to the third kind starting port 82c is 16
You. Therefore, in this case, the variable winning device 84 is the highest
Release control is performed for 16 cycles, the number of continuations.
You. If the decision result in the step S106 is NO,
The upper limit of winning of the game balls to the third kind starting port 82c is still 16
It is determined that it has not become and returns. This allows
This routine is also executed next time, and thereafter, the third type starting port 82
When the winning upper limit value of the game ball to c = 16, the third kind start
It is determined that the 16th prize has been won in the mouth 82c and the step is performed.
It exits to S108. Then, in step S108, the third type
Terminate your rights. For example, the big hit this time
Open the prize winning device 84 for the maximum number of continuations of 5 cycles
If it is a right to release, the game ball to the third type starting port 82c
The winning upper limit value = 5. Therefore, at this time
Open system only for 5 cycles, the maximum number of times the prize device 84 can be continued
After that, the right ends in step S108.
And Next, at step S110, the "16"
It is determined whether or not the right ends due to a hit. This big hit
If the process ends with the “16” symbol,
Proceed to step S112 to fluctuate (up) the special map probability and reset
Turn. On the other hand, the big hit this time is based on the symbol “16”.
Is not finished, for example, by the symbol of "5"
When the process is completed, the process returns. As mentioned above
In addition, the jackpot probability of the special map is set to one of three levels.
However, this routine ends with the symbol “16”.
, It fluctuates greatly to the special figure probability = 239/240
You. As a result, in the next game, the winning prize opening 73 is won.
As long as you do, a big hit occurs again,
Become. And the fluctuation of the special figure probability at that time
If the big hit of "16" ends with the symbol "16"
And executed. And the big hit is "5"
At the time of completion, the special figure probability will not fluctuate,
The jackpot will end. In other words, "1"
As long as the 6 "roll continues, the jackpot will continue to occur
become. As a result, the game becomes very interesting. [0051]Rotation guidance device processing FIG. 13 shows the rotation of step S16 in the main routine.
It is a flowchart which shows the subroutine of guidance apparatus processing.
You. When this subroutine is started, first, step S
Rights are being generated at 150 (ie, a third type of right is generated)
Middle) or not. A. When rights are not being generated If the right is not being generated, the rotation guiding device is set in step S152.
Rotate the rotator 81b clockwise. This usually
During the game, the rotating body 81b rotates clockwise, and temporarily the rotating body 81b
Even if the ball fits into the sprocket 81a of
When it comes off the sprocket 81a, it falls to the lower right side,
It is extremely difficult to flow toward the specific prize device 82 directly below
Yes (almost no flow). Therefore, during normal play
It is possible to lower the base, and the prize balls are excessively discharged.
There is no disadvantage for the game store. Also,
No balls enter the warp entrance 83. B. When rights are in effect On the other hand, if the right is being generated, the process proceeds to step S154.
As shown in FIG. 7, the rotating body 81b of the rotation guiding device 81 is moved to the left.
Let go around. Thereby, during the big hit game, the rotating body 81
b rotates to the left, and the ball inserted into the sprocket 81a
To the specific prize winning device 82. At this time,
The guiding device 81 hits one ball on the side and waits. Rotation guidance
The ball dropped from the device 81 is the third kind of the special prize device 82
Fits and holds sprocket 82a of orbiting rotor 82b
After that, when the third kind starting opening 82c is won,
The winning device 84 opens for a predetermined period. Note that step
After S152 or step S154, the main
Return to the routine. In particular, as shown in FIG.
The rotation guiding device 81 rotates left and the ball is

It is possible to play a game that passes through the game 71. did
Therefore, each time a jackpot occurs, for example, 5
If balls are stored, 5 big hits occur
You can expect Therefore, during the jackpot
The ball is taken in from the loop entrance 83, and after the big hit, the player
Operates the storage device release switch 27 to release the stored ball.
If 75 is released each time, the occurrence of continuous big hit
We can expect and can improve game characteristics. As described above, in the present embodiment, the ordinary operation gate is used.
