【表３】

【００３７】
大当たり図柄は、複数の有効ライン（本実施形態においては３つの有効ライン）上の何れかのライン上で図柄が所定の表示態様になる図柄の組み合せであり、図７に示されるように、横一列に同一の数字が一致する場合か、もしくは斜め１列に同一の数字が一致する場合かであり、即ち、左中図柄と中図柄と右中図柄がすべて同じ図柄となる場合、左下図柄と中図柄と右上図柄がすべて同じ図柄となる場合及び左上図柄と中図柄と右下図柄がすべて同じ図柄となる場合であり、全部で７３種類設けられている。また、遊技者にとっては、大当りに関する図柄合わせの方向が３方向あることになる。
【００３８】
また、図４に示されるように、左図柄表示部７及び右図柄表示部９の各々において、特定の数字７及び５が記された図柄データが各々６個設けられ、数字１が記された図柄データが５個設けられ、その他の数字が記された図柄は３個設けられている。このため数字７が記された図柄が停止表示される確率は、全図柄の種類が２６種であるので６／２６であり、数字５が記された図柄が停止表示される確率は６／２６であり、数字１が記された図柄が停止表示される確率は、５／２６である。そして、例えば、数字７が記された図柄に関する大当りとなる図柄は、図７に示されるように２５種類あり、また、数字５が記された図柄に関する大当りとなる図柄は、１７種類あるので、これらの数字が記された図柄が停止表示されるような場合には、大当たりとなる可能性が大きいことになるが、実際には、大当たりか否かを決定するのは、後述するタスク２の処理における大当たり判定用乱数の値による。また、図４に示すように、図柄表示装置１の左図柄列と右図柄列とは、その図柄列内において表示される複数の図柄の順序が互いに逆となるように構成されている。例えば、左上図柄、左中図柄、左下図柄に表示される図柄“３４５”に対しては、右上図柄、右中図柄、右下図柄に表示される図柄のうち、図柄の順序がその逆となる図柄“５４３”が設けられている。
【００３９】
また、実施形態では、左図柄と右図柄とを中図柄に先立って停止表示するようにしているが、この時、停止表示された左図柄と右図柄の組み合わせが、図７に示される大当たりに関する図柄の左図柄と右図柄の組み合わせに一致するものをリーチ図柄ということにする。
【００４０】
リーチ図柄の例として、例えば、停止された左図柄が“１＊１”（左上、左中、左下の順）で右図柄が“＊２１” （右上、右中、右下の順）である場合には、斜一列に同一の数字１が揃う可能性が発生したこととなるのでリーチ図柄となる。また、停止された左図柄が“＊１２”で右図柄が“２１＊”である場合には、横一列に同一の数字１が揃う可能性が発生したこととなるのでリーチ図柄となる。リーチ図柄となる場合には、大当りとなる可能性が発生したことを意味する。さらに、停止された左図柄が“３４５”で右図柄が“５４３”である場合には、斜一列に同一の数字３が揃う可能性と、横一列に同一の数字４が揃う可能性と、斜一列に同一の数字５が揃う可能性が同時に発生したこととなるのでリーチ図柄となる（図７の最上段参照）。この場合、３つの有効ライン上で同時にリーチ状態が生じるため、遊技者は、中図柄が数字３でも数字４でも数字５でも大当り成立となるため、期待感が倍増する。
【００４１】
さらに、中図柄の停止に先立って停止表示された左図柄と右図柄の組み合わせがリーチ図柄となった場合には、中図柄の図柄変動が低速と一時停止とで数回繰り返した後停止する。
【００４２】
リーチ図柄は、中図柄に関係しないので、リーチ図柄となる確率は、起こり得る左図柄と右図柄の組み合わせが２６・２６通りであり、大当りとなる図柄が７３通りあるので、７３／２６・２６となる。
【００４３】
図１１〜図２０に示すタスク２の処理は、左，右，中図柄表示部７，９，８の図柄の停止時の図柄判定に使用する大当り判定用乱数の作成と、第１種始動口４５への遊技球の入賞検出に応じて大当り判定用乱数の値を記憶する処理と、左，右，中図柄表示部７，９，８の図柄変動処理と、左，中，右図柄表示部７，８，９における停止図柄の組合わせを判定する処理と、左停止図柄と右停止図柄の一致不一致を判定して、一致した場合には中図柄表示部８の変動速度を低速と一時停止とで繰り返して行う処理と、記憶された大当り判定用乱数の値に基づいて大当りの判定を行って、大当りの場合には大入賞口４３の開放動作の実行を可能とする処理である。
【００４４】
タスク２の処理を開始したＣＰＵ３０は、まず、タスク１の処理で作成した図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０乃至ｒ２に記憶された内部処理指標の各値の組み合わせが図７に示される大当たり図柄を表示する値の組み合わせのうちのいずれかに一致しているか否かを比較判定し（ステップｂ１）、図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０乃至ｒ２に記憶された内部処理指標の各値の組み合わせが大当たりに関する図柄を表示する値の組み合わせのうちのいずれかと一致した場合には、各内部処理指標のｒ０乃至ｒ２の現在値を左，右，中大当り図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０ａ乃至ｒ２ａの各々に格納し（ステップｂ２）、また、作成された内部処理指標の組合わせが不一致であり外れ図柄に関するものであれば各内部処理指標ｒ０乃至ｒ２の現在値を左，右，中外れ図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０ｂ乃至ｒ２ｂの各々に格納する（ステップｂ３）。
【００４５】
図７に示される大当たり図柄の各々を表示する図柄データの組み合わせは、表４及び表５に示されるとおりである。
【００４６】
【表４】

【００４７】
【表５】

【００４８】
ＣＰＵ３０は、表４及び表５に示されるような大当たり判定用図柄データが記憶されたファイルを検索して、今回のタスク１の処理で作成された左，中，右図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０乃至ｒ２に記憶された内部処理指標の各値の組み合わせが大当たりに関するものであるか外れに関するものであるかを判定する。
【００４９】
図２１は、大当り図柄の判定ルーチンの一例を示すフロー図である。ＣＰＵ３０は、検索指標レジスタｉに初期値１をセットし（ステップｄ１）、左図柄一致記憶レジスタｊに初期値０をセットし（ステップｄ２）、検索指標レジスタｉの現在値に従ってｉ番目の大当たり判定用図柄データを読み込み（ステップｄ３）、今回のタスク１の処理で作成された左図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０の値と大当たり判定用図柄データの左図柄判定データｒ０ｉとの一致不一致を比較判定し（ステップｄ４）、一致していなければ左図柄一致記憶レジスタｊの値が初期値０であるか否かを判別するが（ステップｄ５）、真と判定されるので検索指標レジスタｉの現在値を１つインクリメントし（ステップｄ６）、検索指標レジスタｉの現在値がデータ登録件数７３を越えているか否かの判別を行い（ステップｄ７）、判定結果が偽であればステップｄ３に移行して、次の大当たり判定用図柄データを読み込む。ＣＰＵ３０は、この後、ステップｄ４の判別結果が真となるまでステップｄ３乃至ステップｄ７のループ処理を繰り返す。
【００５０】
表４及び表５から、大当り判定用データの左図柄判定データの値は、左図柄の取り得る値のすべての範囲０乃至２５について存在する。このため、ステップｄ３乃至ステップｄ７のループ処理を繰り返すうちにステップｄ４の判別結果が真となり（ステップｄ４）、ステップｄ８に移行して、左図柄一致記憶レジスタｊに１をセットし（ステップｄ８）、今回のタスク１の処理で作成された中図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ２の値と大当たり判定用図柄データの中図柄判定データｒ２ｉとの一致不一致を比較判定し（ステップｄ９）、一致していなければステップｄ６に移行して検索指標レジスタｉの現在値を１つ更新し、ステップｄ７の判別処理を実行した後、偽と判定された場合には、ステップｄ３に移行して、次の大当たり判定用図柄データを読み込む。
【００５１】
ＣＰＵ３０は、この後、ステップｄ４の判別結果が偽であれば、ステップｄ５の判別処理を行うが、左図柄一致記憶レジスタｊの値が１となっているので偽と判定され、この場合には外れ図柄となる。
【００５２】
また、ステップｄ４の判別結果が真であれば、ＣＰＵ３０は、ステップｄ８の実行後、ステップｄ９の判別処理を行い、ステップｄ９の判別結果が偽である場合には、ステップｄ４の判定結果が偽となるまであるいはステップｄ７の判定結果が真となるまでステップｄ３，ステップｄ４，ステップｄ８，ステップｄ９，ステップｄ６，ステップｄ７のループ処理を行う。
【００５３】
例えば、今回のタスク１の処理で作成された左，中，右図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０乃至ｒ２に記憶された内部処理指標の各値の組み合わせが（５，１０，５）であったとすると、大当り判定用データの（５，１６，２０）までデータが読まれ、ステップｄ９で偽と判定されて、大当り判定用データの（６，１６，１７）を読み込んで、ステップｄ４で偽と判定され、ステップｄ５で偽と判定され外れ図柄と判定される。
【００５４】
ステップｄ９の判別処理の判別結果が真である場合、ＣＰＵ３０は、今回のタスク１の処理で作成された右図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ１の値と大当たり判定用図柄データの右図柄判定データｒ１ｉとの一致不一致を比較判定し（ステップｄ１０）、一致していなければステップｄ６に移行して検索指標レジスタｉの現在値を１つ更新し、ステップｄ７の判別処理を実行した後、偽と判定された場合には、ステップｄ３に移行して、次の大当たり判定用図柄データを読み込む。
【００５５】
例えば、今回のタスク１の処理で作成された左，中，右図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０乃至ｒ２に記憶された内部処理指標の各値の組み合わせが（５，１６，５）であったとすると、大当り判定用データの（５，１６，２０）までデータが読まれ、ステップｄ１０で偽と判定されて、大当り判定用データの（６，１６，１７）を読み込んで、ステップｄ４で偽と判定されてステップｄ５で偽と判定され外れ図柄と判定される。
【００５６】
また、例えば、今回のタスク１の処理で作成された左，中，右図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０乃至ｒ２に記憶された内部処理指標の各値の組み合わせが（２５，１６，５）であったとすると、大当り判定用データの（２５，２０，２４）まで全データが読まれ、ステップｄ９で偽と判定されて、ステップｄ６の処理後、ステップｄ７の判別結果が真となって外れ図柄と判定される。
【００５７】
また、ステップｄ４、ステップｄ９及びステップｄ１０の判定結果がすべて真であれば、大当りの図柄と判定される。
【００５８】
ステップｂ２またはステップｂ３の処理後、ＣＰＵ３０は、大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値を０乃至４４０の範囲でインクリメントし（ステップｂ４）、大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値が４４０に到達しているか否かを判別し（ステップｂ５）、大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値が４４０に到達する毎にレジスタＷの値を０に初期化する（ステップｂ６）。このため実際には、大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値で４４０が記憶されることはない。
【００５９】
ステップｂ６の処理の後、ＣＰＵ３０は、第１種始動口４５への遊技球の入賞があるか否かを、第１種始動口入賞検出スイッチＳＷ２よりの信号入力があるか否かにより判別し（ステップｂ７）、第１種始動口入賞検出スイッチＳＷ２よりの信号入力がある場合には、入賞記憶数カウンタＣの値を１つインクリメントすると共に（ステップｂ８）、入賞記憶数カウンタＣの値が規定の入賞記憶数５に達しているか否かを判別し（ステップｂ９）、５に達していなければステップｂ１０以降の処理に移行し、入賞記憶数カウンタＣの現在値に対応して、確定乱数記憶レジスタＲ１乃至Ｒ４に大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値を格納して記憶し（ステップｂ１０〜ステップｂ１６）、ステップｂ１７以降の処理に移行する。即ち、入賞記憶数カウンタＣの値が１であると判定された場合には（ステップｂ１０）、確定乱数記憶レジスタＲ１に大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値を格納し（ステップｂ１３）、入賞記憶数カウンタＣの値が２であると判定された場合には（ステップｂ１１）、確定乱数記憶レジスタＲ２に大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値を格納し（ステップｂ１４）、入賞記憶数カウンタＣの値が３であると判定された場合には（ステップｂ１２）、確定乱数記憶レジスタＲ３に大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値を格納し（ステップｂ１５）、入賞記憶数カウンタＣの値が３でないと判定された場合には（ステップｂ１２）、確定乱数記憶レジスタＲ４に大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値を格納し（ステップｂ１６）、各々ステップｂ１７に移行する。
【００６０】
この結果、第１種始動口４５への遊技球の入賞がある場合には、確定乱数記憶レジスタＲ１乃至Ｒ４に大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値が最高４個まで記憶されることとなる。
【００６１】
また、ステップｂ７の判別処理において、第１種始動口入賞検出スイッチＳＷ２よりの信号入力が検出されなかった場合には、ＣＰＵ３０はステップｂ１７以降の処理に移行し、ステップｂ９の判別処理において、入賞記憶数カウンタＣの現在値が５以上であった場合にもＣＰＵ３０は、ステップｂ１７以降の処理に移行する。
【００６２】
ＣＰＵ３０は、ステップｂ１よりステップｂ１７に至る処理によって、左，中，右図柄表示部７，８，９の図柄の停止時の図柄判定に使用する大当り判定用乱数を作成し、第１種始動口４５への遊技球の入賞に応じて大当り判定用乱数の値を記憶する。ＣＰＵ３０は、所定の処理周期でタスク２の処理を実行し、毎回のタスク２の処理において、ステップｂ１よりステップｂ１７に至る処理を実行するので、以下のステップｂ１７以降の説明に関してはステップｂ１よりステップｂ１７に至る処理をＪＯＢ１ということにする。
【００６３】
次に、ステップｂ１７以降の処理について説明する。ＣＰＵ３０は、ステップｂ１７乃至ステップｂ２１までの判別処理において、図柄動作フラグＦａの現在値を判別し、図柄動作フラグＦａの現在値に応じて左，右，中図柄表示部７，９，８の図柄変動処理と、記憶された大当り判定用乱数の値に基づいて大当りの判定を行って、大当りの場合には大入賞口４３の開閉動作処理の実行を可能にする。図柄動作フラグＦａの値は、０で第１種始動口４５への入賞検出待ち状態、１で左，中，右図柄表示部７，８，９の変動中、２で右，中図柄表示部９，８の変動中、３で中図柄表示部８の当たり発生の可能性のない場合の変動中、４で中図柄表示部８の当たり発生の可能性のある場合の変動中、５で大入賞口４３の開閉動作処理中を規定するものである。また、各図柄の変動停止は、左、右、中の順で行われる。
【００６４】
左，右，中の図柄表示部７，９，８の図柄変動が開始されていなければ、図柄動作フラグＦａの現在値は初期値０となっており、ＣＰＵ３０は、ステップｂ１７の判別処理において、真と判定してステップｂ２２に移行し、入賞数記憶カウンタＣの現在値が０であるか否かを判別し（ステップｂ２２）、第１種始動口４５への遊技球の入賞により入賞数記憶カウンタＣの値が０以外の値である場合には、入賞数記憶カウンタの値を１つデクリメントし（ステップｂ２３）、確定乱数記憶レジスタＲ１乃至Ｒ４のデータを確定値記憶レジスタＲ０および確定乱数記憶レジスタＲ１乃至Ｒ３に順次シフトして、確定乱数記憶レジスタＲ４に０をセットして初期化する（ステップｂ２４）。この結果、入賞数記憶カウンタＣの値が１つデクリメントされるため、次周期以降のタスク２の処理において、第１種始動口４５への遊技球の入賞が検出された場合には、確定乱数記憶レジスタＲ４に大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値が記憶されることとなる。
【００６５】
一方、ステップｂ２２の判別処理において、入賞数記憶カウンタＣの値が０である場合には、第１種始動口４５への遊技球の入賞が検出されなかったこととなるので、この場合には、ＣＰＵ３０は図柄の図柄変動を行わずに、タスク２の処理を終了する。
【００６６】
ステップｂ２４の処理を実行した場合には、ＣＰＵ３０は、左図柄の高速変動時間としてパラメータｔに所定値Ａ１を設定し（ステップｂ２５）、次いで、タイマＴ１を作動して計時を開始し（ステップｂ２６）、図柄動作フラグＦａの値を１に切替えて左，右，中図柄の図柄変動処理の開始を記憶し（ステップｂ２７）、変動状態フラグＦｂに１をセットし（ステップｂ２８）、図８に示される、左，右，中図柄の図柄変動処理のタイミングチャートに従って左，右，中図柄に関する高速変動処理を開始し（ステップｂ２９）、この周期の処理を終了する。
【００６７】
本実施形態においては、左図柄の高速変動時間Ａ１は、４．４８０秒である。変動状態フラグＦｂの値は、各図柄表示部７，８，９の図柄の変動状態を規定するフラグであり、１で高速変動中、２で低速変動中、３で一時停止中を規定するものである。また、各図柄の移行順序は、図９に示す通りであり、各図柄の移行速度は、各図柄共に高速時は、０．０１６秒で１／５図柄、即ち、０．０８０秒／図柄であり、低速時は、０．０６４秒で１／５図柄、即ち、０．３２０秒／図柄となっている。
【００６８】
次周期以降の処理では、ＣＰＵ３０は図柄動作フラグＦａの値が１となっているため、ＪＯＢ１の処理とステップｂ１７およびステップｂ１８の判別後、ステップｂ３０に移行し、変動状態フラグＦｂの値１に応じて、変動表示開始後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔに設定した値に達するまでの間、ＪＯＢ１の処理とステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ１９およびステップｂ３０，ステップｂ３１の判別処理と左，右，中の各図柄表示部７，９，８の高速変動に関するステップｂ３２の処理を所定の処理周期で繰り返し実行することとなる。
【００６９】
このようにして各図柄の高速変動処理を繰り返し実行する間に変動表示開始後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔに設定した値に達すると（ステップｂ３１）、ＣＰＵ３０は、確定値記憶レジスタＲ０の値が設定値７または９と一致するか否かを判別し（ステップｂ３３）、ステップｂ３３の判定結果が真である場合には、即ち、今回の図柄変動処理の開始刺激となった第１種始動口４５の入賞検出時点における大当り用乱数記憶レジスタＷの値が大当りに関するものである場合には、左，右，中大当たり図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０ａ乃至ｒ２ａの各値を左，右，中表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０ｃ乃至ｒ２ｃに格納する一方（ステップｂ３４）、確定値記憶レジスタＲ０の値が設定値７または９と一致しなければ、左，右，中外れ図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０ｂ乃至ｒ２ｂの各値を左，右，中表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０ｃ乃至ｒ２ｃの各々に格納して（ステップｂ３５）、変動停止時に左，右，中図柄表示部７，９，８に表示すべき図柄を確定する。
【００７０】
第１種始動口４５の入賞に起因する図柄変動が大当たりとなる確率は、大当たり用乱数の取り得る範囲の数が０乃至４３９の４４０種類であるので、２／４４０である。
【００７１】
ステップｂ３４またはステップｂ３５の処理実行後、ＣＰＵ３０は、左図柄の変動停止時間ｔ２時に左表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０ｃの内部処理指標に対応する図柄が表示されるように左図柄に関する表示指標ｉｌの値を設定変更して（ステップｂ３６）、変動状態記憶フラグＦｂに２をセットして（ステップｂ３７）、左図柄の低速変動時間としてパラメータｔに所定値Ａを設定し（ステップｂ３８）、タイマＴ１を作動して計時を開始し（ステップｂ３９）、左図柄表示部７の変動速度を高速変動から低速変動に切り替え（ステップｂ４０）、この周期のタスク２の処理を終了する。なお、本実施形態では左図柄の低速変動時間としての所定値Ａを０．６４０秒としている。
【００７２】
ｔ１時における左図柄表示部７の表示指標ｉｌの値は自明でないが、左図柄表示部７の低速変動時間Ａの値は予め設定されており、また、左図柄表示部７の低速での図柄変動速度は一定であるから、左図柄表示部７の変動停止時間ｔ２時に左図柄表示部７に表示すべき図柄の表示指標の情報のみに基いて、表示指標ｉｌの設定変更値を求めることができる。
【００７３】
実施形態の処理タイミングによれば、高速変動から低速変動への切り替えに際し、表示指標ｉｌの現在値が変動停止時に左図柄表示部７に表示すべき図柄の表示指標よりも２図柄前の表示指標となるようにｉｌの値を設定変更することにより、変動停止時にｒ０ｃの図柄を得ることができる。
【００７４】
次周期以降の処理では、ＣＰＵ３０は、図柄動作フラグＦａの値が１となっているので、ＪＯＢ１の処理、ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８及びステップｂ３０の判別処理実行後ステップｂ４１に移行し、以下、変動状態記憶フラグＦｂの現在値２に応じて、左図柄表示部７の低速変動表示開始後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔの値に達するまでの間、ＪＯＢ１，ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ３０およびステップｂ４１の判別処理と、左図柄表示部７の低速変動に関する処理および中，右の各図柄表示部８，９の高速変動に関するステップｂ４２の処理を所定の処理周期で繰り返し実行することとなる。
【００７５】
そして、低速変動表示開始後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔの値に達すると（ステップｂ４１）、ＣＰＵ３０は、左図柄の低速変動停止する（ステップｂ４３）。この時点で左表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ０ｃに記憶された内部処理指標に対応する図柄が静止表示されることとなる。
【００７６】
次いで、ＣＰＵ３０は、右図柄の低速変動時間としてパラメータｔに所定値Ａを設定し（ステップｂ４４）、右図柄の変動停止時間ｔ３時に右表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ１ｃの内部処理指標に対応する図柄が表示されるように右図柄に関する表示指標ｉｒの値を設定変更して（ステップｂ４５）、タイマＴ１を作動して計時を開始し（ステップｂ４６）、図柄動作フラグＦａの値を２に切り替え（ステップｂ４７）、右図柄表示部９の変動速度を高速変動から低速変動に切り替え（ステップｂ４８）、この周期のタスク２の処理を終了する。
【００７７】
ｔ２時における右図柄表示部９の表示指標ｉｒの値は自明でないが、左図柄表示部４の場合と同様に低速変動時間Ａの値は予め設定されており、また、右図柄表示部９の変動停止時間ｔ３時に右図柄表示部９に表示すべき図柄の表示指標の情報のみに基いて、表示指標ｉｒの設定変更値を求めることができ、実施形態の処理タイミングによれば、高速変動から低速変動への切り替えに際し、表示指標ｉｒの現在値が変動停止時に右図柄表示部９に表示すべき図柄の表示指標よりも２図柄前の表示指標となるようにｉｒの値を設定変更することにより、変動停止時にｒ１ｃの図柄を得ることができる。
【００７８】
次周期以降の処理では、ＣＰＵ３０は、図柄動作フラグＦａの値が２となっているので、ＪＯＢ１の処理、ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ１９の判別処理実行後ステップｂ４９に移行し、以下、図柄動作フラグＦａの現在値２に応じて、右図柄表示部９の低速変動表示開始後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔの値に達するまでの間、ＪＯＢ１，ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ１９およびステップｂ４９の判別処理と、右図柄表示部９の低速変動に関する処理および中図柄表示部８の高速変動に関するステップｂ５０の処理を所定の処理周期で繰り返し実行することとなる。
【００７９】
そして、右図柄表示部９の低速変動表示開始後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔの値に達すると（ステップｂ４９）、ＣＰＵ３０は、右図柄の低速変動停止する（ステップｂ５１）。この時点で右表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ１ｃに記憶された内部処理指標に対応する図柄が静止表示されることとなる。
【００８０】
次いで、ＣＰＵ３０は、左図柄表示部７の表示指標ｉｌの現在値と右図柄表示部９の表示指標ｉｒの現在値とが図７に示される大当たりの図柄を表示する可能性が有するか否か、即ち、前述した、中図柄の停止に先立って停止された左図柄及び右図柄の組み合わせが大当たりを発生する可能性を有したリーチ図柄を表示する値の組み合わせとなっているか否かを比較判定し（ステップｂ５２）、判定結果に応じて、ｔ３時以降の図柄変動処理、即ち、中図柄表示部８の変動時間設定に必要とされる各種のデータを設定することとなる。
【００８１】
ＣＰＵ３０は、表４及び表５に示されるような大当たり判定用図柄データが記憶されたファイルを検索して、まず、左図柄表示部７の表示指標ｉｌの現在値と一致する左図柄表示指標を有する大当たり判定用図柄データを選択し、次に、選択した大当たり判定用図柄データの右図柄表示指標と右図柄表示部９の表示指標ｉｒの現在値とが一致するか否かを判定し、一致する場合には停止表示された左図柄と右図柄の組み合わせがリーチ図柄となる。また一致しない場合には、表示指標ｉｌの現在値と一致する左図柄表示指標を有する次の大当たり判定用図柄データを選択して、右図柄表示指標の値どうしを比較する処理を繰り返す。この処理によって、左図柄表示部７の表示指標ｉｌの現在値と一致する左図柄表示指標を有する大当たり判定用図柄データをすべて検索比較して、大当たり判定用図柄データの右図柄表示指標と右図柄表示部９の表示指標ｉｒの現在値とが一致しない場合には、リーチ図柄ではないこととなる。なお、図２２にリーチ図柄判定ルーチンの一例を示すが、前述した大当り図柄検索ルーチンと略同様のアルゴリズムなので説明は省略する。
【００８２】
まず、ステップｂ５２の判別結果が偽となった場合、即ち、左図柄表示部７の停止図柄と右図柄表示部９の停止図柄とがリーチ図柄ではなく、大当りの発生する可能性が皆無の場合には、即ち、リーチとなっていない場合には、ＣＰＵ３０は、中図柄表示部８の変動停止時間ｔ４時に中表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ１ｃの内部処理指標に対応する図柄が表示されるように中図柄に関する表示指標ｉｃの値を２図柄前の値に設定変更し（ステップｂ５３）、中図柄の低速変動時間としてパラメータｔに予め決められた値Ａを設定して（ステップｂ５４）、タイマＴ１を作動して計時を開始し（ステップｂ５５）、図柄動作フラグＦａの値を３に切替え（ステップｂ５６）、中図柄表示部５の変動速度を高速変動から低速変動に切り替え（ステップｂ５７）、この周期のタスク２の処理を終了する。
【００８３】
次の処理周期では、図柄動作フラグＦａの値が３となるため、ＣＰＵ３０は図柄動作フラグＦａの値３に基づいて、ＪＯＢ１，ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ１９，ステップｂ２０の判別後、ステップｂ５８に移行し、以下、図柄動作フラグＦａの値３に応じて、中図柄の低速変動表示開始後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔの値に達するまでの間、ＪＯＢ１，ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ１９，ステップｂ２０およびステップｂ５８の判別処理と中図柄表示部８の低速変動に関するステップｂ５９の処理を所定の処理周期で繰り返し実行することとなる。
【００８４】
そして、中図柄の低速変動表示開始後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔの値に達すると（ステップｂ５８）、ＣＰＵ３０は、中図柄の低速変動停止する（ステップｂ６０）。この時点で中表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ２ｃに記憶された指標に対応する図柄が静止表示されることとなる。この場合、停止した左，右，中図柄表示部７，９，８の図柄組合せは、大当り図柄の組合せではないことになる。ＣＰＵ３０は、図柄動作フラグＦａの値を０セットして初期化し（ステップｂ６１）、変動状態フラグＦｂの値を１セットして初期化し（ステップｂ６２）、この周期のタスク２の処理を終了する。この場合には、図柄動作フラグＦａの値が０とされるため次周期でのタスク２の処理では、ＣＰＵ３０は、ステップｂ１７の判別処理後ステップｂ２２に移行し、第１種始動口４５への入賞記憶があれば新たな図柄の図柄変動処理が開始されることとなる。
【００８５】
また、ステップｂ５２の判別結果が真となった場合、即ち、左図柄表示部７の停止図柄と右図柄表示部９の停止図柄の組み合わせがリーチ図柄となった場合には、即ち、大当り図柄の組合わせの必要条件を満足するリーチとなった場合には、ＣＰＵ３０は、中図柄表示部８の変動速度を低速と一時停止とで繰り返し周期的に可変表示する処理を行う。
【００８６】
ステップｂ５２の処理の後、まず、ＣＰＵ３０は、左停止図柄と右停止図柄とが一致した時の、即ち、リーチ時の中図柄の停止表示までの変動時間に関する中図柄変動乱数レジスタＵの値（０〜３１までの値）をＲレジスタの現在値に基いて作成し、中図柄変動乱数レジスタＵに格納する（ステップｂ６３）。中図柄変動乱数レジスタＵの値は、Ｒレジスタの０ビット〜４ビットの値（０〜３１までの値）を用いる。
【００８７】
次いで、ＣＰＵ３０は、中図柄変動用乱数レジスタＵの値に応じて表６に示されるようなＲＯＭ３１の選択条件ファイルに基いて、低速変動時間Ｂと一時停止時間Ｃを１セットとして繰り返す回数を選択して変動回数カウンタＣ１に値を格納する（ステップｂ６４）。本実施形態では、中図柄の低速変動と一時停止の繰り返し回数を最低８回より最高３９回迄繰り返すようにしている。
【００８８】
【表６】

【００８９】
さらに、中図柄の停止時に中表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ２ｃの内部処理指標に対応する図柄が表示されるように中図柄に関する表示指標ｉｃの値を変動回数カウンタＣ１の値に基づく図柄数分だけ前の値に設定変更し（ステップｂ６５）、次いで変動中の中図柄の低速変動と一時停止の繰り返し回数を計数する停止回数カウンタＣ２を０セットして初期化し（ステップｂ６６）、ステップｃ１１に移行する。本実施形態においては、中図柄のリーチ時の低速変動時間を０．３２０秒としている。低速変動時の図柄の移行速度は、０．３２０秒であるから、１回の低速変動によって１図柄分図柄が変動することになる。
【００９０】
例えば、中表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ２ｃの値が１０である場合、即ち、表３より表示される中図柄が“６”である時に、中図柄変動用乱数レジスタＵの値が０である場合には、表６より低速変動と一時停止の繰り返し回数が８となり、ステップｂ６５の処理においては、中図柄に関する表示指標ｉｃの値を図９より中図柄“６”の８図柄前の図柄“２”を表示する値１８に切り替えて低速変動を開始する。
【００９１】
ステップｃ１１に移行したＣＰＵ３０は、パラメータｔに中図柄の低速変動時間を規定する所定値Ｂを設定し（ステップｃ１１）、タイマＴ１を作動して経過時間の測定を開始し（ステップｃ１２）、図柄動作フラグＦａの値を４に切り替えると共に（ステップｃ１３）、変動状態フラグＦｂの値を２に切り替え（ステップｃ１４）、中図柄の低速変動を開始し（ステップｃ１５）、この周期の処理を終了する。
【００９２】
次の処理周期以降では、図柄動作フラグＦａの値が４となるため、ＣＰＵ３０は図柄動作フラグＦａの値４に基づいて、ＪＯＢ１、ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ１９，ステップｂ２０，ステップｂ２１の判別後、ステップｃ１に移行する。なお、ステップｃ１以降の処理をＪＯＢ２ということとする。ＣＰＵ３０は、変動状態フラグＦｂの値が２となっているので、ステップｃ１の判別処理において真と判定してステップｃ２に移行し、以下、変動状態フラグＦｂの値２に応じて、中図柄の低速変動表示開始後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔの値に達するまでの間、ＪＯＢ１、ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ１９，ステップｂ２０，ステップｂ２１およびステップｃ１乃至ステップｃ２の判別処理と中図柄表示部８の低速変動に関するステップｃ３の処理を所定の処理周期で繰り返し実行することとなる。
【００９３】
そして、中図柄の低速変動表示開始後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔの値に達すると（ステップｃ２）、ＣＰＵ３０は、中図柄の変動を停止し（ステップｃ４）、変動状態フラグＦｂの値を３に切り替え（ステップｃ５）、中図柄の一時停止時間としてパラメータｔに所定値Ｃを設定し（ステップｃ６）、タイマＴ１を作動して中図柄の図柄停止からの経過時間の計時を開始し（ステップｃ７）、この周期のタスク２の処理を終了する。
【００９４】
この時点では、中図柄表示部８には、まだ、中表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ２ｃの内部処理指標の値に対応した図柄が表示されているわけではない。
【００９５】
次周期以降の処理では、ＣＰＵ３０は、変動状態フラグＦｂの値が３となっているため、ＪＯＢ１と、ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ１９，ステップｂ２０，ステップｂ２１およびステップｃ１の判別処理実行後ステップｃ８に移行し、以下、変動状態記憶フラグＦｂの現在値３に応じて、中図柄の一時停止後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔの値に達するまでの間、ＪＯＢ１と、ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ１９，ステップｂ２０，ステップｂ２１，ステップｃ１及びステップｃ８の判別処理を所定の処理周期で繰り返し実行することとなる。本実施形態では、一時停止時間Ｃを０．１９２秒としている。
【００９６】
中図柄の一時停止後の経過時間Ｔ１がパラメータｔの値に達すると（ステップｃ８）、ＣＰＵ３０は、停止回数カウンタＣ２の値を１つインクリメントし（ステップｃ９）、次いで、停止回数カウンタＣ２の現在値と変動回数カウンタＣ１に記憶している値との一致不一致を比較判定し（ステップｃ１０）、判定結果が一致であればステップｃ１６に移行する。また、ステップｃ１０の判定結果が不一致であれば、ステップｃ１１に再度移行し、ステップｃ１１乃至ステップｃ１５の処理を実行して中図柄の低速変動を開始し、この周期の処理を終了する。
【００９７】
中図柄の図柄停止に先立って停止された左図柄と右図柄がリーチ図柄となった場合には、最低８回の低速変動が行われるので、ＣＰＵ３０は、ＪＯＢ１の処理と、ステップｂ１７，ステップｂ１８，ステップｂ１９，ステップｂ２０，ステップｂ２１の判別処理と、ステップｃ１，ステップｃ２及びステップｃ３の処理またはステップｃ１，ステップｃ２，ステップｃ４乃至ステップｃ７の処理またはステップｃ１，ステップｃ８乃至ステップｃ１５の各処理をタイマＴ１が設定時間に達する毎に順次繰り返し、この間に、停止回数カウンタＣ２の値を１つインクリメントする。また、この間に、中図柄表示部８においては、前述した例で説明すると、中図柄が、２→＊→３→＊→４→＊→５→＊→６のように図柄が一時停止された後に低速変動して移行されている。
【００９８】
なお、変動継続中の中図柄がはずれ図柄で一時的に停止した場合、遊技者ははずれと思いがっかりするが、一時停止した図柄が再度変動することによって大当りへの期待感を再起させることになり、一時停止と変動とを繰り返す度に、遊技者にハラハラドキドキさせながら、期待感を高めることができる。
【００９９】
そして、ステップｃ１０の判別処理において、停止回数カウンタＣ２の現在値と変動回数カウンタＣ１に記憶している値とが一致すると（ステップｃ１０）、この時点で中表示図柄データ記憶レジスタｒ２ｃに記憶された内部処理指標の値に対応する図柄が静止表示されることとなる。
【０１００】
ＣＰＵ３０は、ステップｃ１６に移行し、停止された左，中，右図柄表示部７，８，９に停止表示された図柄が大当りとなっているか否かの判定を行う（ステップｃ１６）。即ち、左，中，右図柄に関する表示指標ｉｌ，ｉｃ，ｉｒの組み合わせが、前述した大当り判定用データのいずれかに一致しているか否かを判別する。
【０１０１】
ステップｃ１６の判定結果が真であれば、即ち、停止された左，中，右の図柄が大当りに関する図柄である場合には、ＣＰＵ３０は、図柄動作フラグＦａの値を５に切り替え（ステップｃ１７）、大入賞口４３の開閉動作の実行開始を可能とし、この周期の処理を終了する。この場合、次周期以降でのタスク２の処理では、ＣＰＵ３０は、ＪＯＢ１の処理とステップｂ１７乃至ステップｂ２０の判別処理を実行後、ステップｃ２１の処理において判定結果が偽となって処理を終えるため、実質的には図柄の変動は行われない。また、大入賞口４３の開閉動作処理は、タスク１及びタスク２の処理とは別タスクで実行され、図柄動作フラグＦａの値が５の時に限って実行されるものであって、大入賞口４３の開放中、特定領域４４への遊技球通過による所定回数の大入賞口４３の連続開閉動作が終了すると、図柄動作フラグＦａを０セットして初期化し、処理を終了する。なお、大入賞口４３の開閉動作処理に関する説明は、従来に開示されている慣用技術によって実行されているものとして説明を省略する。
【０１０２】
また、ステップｃ１６の判定結果が偽であれば、即ち、停止された左，中，右の図柄が大当りに関する図柄でない外れの場合には、ＣＰＵ３０は、図柄動作フラグＦａの値を０セットして初期化し（ステップｃ１８）、変動状態フラグＦｂの値に初期値１をセットし（ステップｃ１９）、この周期の処理を終了する。
【０１０３】
この場合には、図柄動作フラグＦａの値が０とされるため次周期でのタスク２の処理では、ＣＰＵ３０は、ステップｂ１７の判別処理後ステップｂ２２に移行し、第１種始動口４５への入賞記憶があれば新たな図柄の図柄変動処理が開始されることとなる。
【０１０４】
【発明の効果】
請求項１に係るパチンコ遊技機によれば、第１の図柄表示部と第２の図柄表示部のうちの少なくとも１つは、複数種類の図柄のうち特定の図柄の表示回数を多くし、図柄表示装置における表示図柄全体として、特定の図柄の表示確率が多くなり、特定の図柄でリーチとなる組合せ数が特定の図柄以外の図柄でリーチとなる組合せ数よりも多くなるように表示制御され、また、第１の図柄表示部に順次表示される複数種類の図柄を予め定められた第１の表示順で所定の方向に向けて変化するように表示制御するのに対して、第２の図柄表示部に順次表示され且つ第１の図柄表示部に順次表示される複数種類の図柄と同じ複数種類の図柄を第１の表示順とは逆順となる第２の表示順で第１の図柄表示部の変化方向と同じ方向に向けて変化するように表示制御することにより、第１の図柄表示部に表示された３つの図柄と第２の図柄表示部に表示された３つの図柄とによって、複数の有効ラインのうち斜め方向に設定された複数の有効ライン上で同時にリーチとなるように表示制御されているために、遊技者の期待感を大いに倍増することができ、事前決定手段により大当たり抽選を行って大当たり抽選結果に対応して、大当たり抽選とは独立した別のタイミングで実行される処理で作成された表示結果の図柄組合せ表示態様を停止図柄態様として事前に決定し、事前決定手段で決定された停止図柄態様が停止表示されるように制御するから、実際の大当りに影響することなく見掛け上でリーチ状態での期待感をより高めることができる。

Reference numeral 50 is a display lamp A, 51 is a display lamp B, 52 is a display lamp C, and 53 is a display lamp D.
[0021]
FIG. 6 is a principal block diagram of a pachinko machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control unit of the pachinko machine has a ROM 31 that stores a control program of the symbol display device 1, display symbol data, and the like, and temporary data. The CPU 30 is configured to drive and control each part of the symbol display device 1 in accordance with a control program stored in the RAM 32 and the ROM 31 used for storage and the like, and the controller determines the variable stop time of the condition detection means, the symbol determination means, and each symbol display part. Fluctuation time determination means, when each symbol of the symbol display part that has already been confirmed to stop meets the requirements for a specific combination, the fluctuation speed of the remaining one symbol display part that continues the variable display is repeated at low speed and stop It also serves as a variable stop control means that switches periodically. Note that ROM here does not mean storage means that cannot be written or rewritten.
[0022]
The CPU 30 is connected to each of the gate passage detection switch SW1, the first type start opening winning detection switch SW2, the big winning opening winning detection switch SW3, and the specific area winning detection switch SW4 via the switch detection unit 33. Each of the left, middle, and right symbol display units 7, 8, and 9, the decorative portions 16 to 22, the normal symbol display device 42, and the memory number display LED 27 are connected via an LED display circuit 34, and these are connected to the CPU 30. Are controlled individually or simultaneously. A special winning opening opening / closing solenoid SOL1 that opens and closes the large winning opening 43 is connected to the CPU 30 via a solenoid drive circuit 35, and an ordinary electric accessory opening solenoid SOL2 that drives the normal electric accessory 41 to expand is connected to the solenoid drive circuit 36. And is controlled to be driven individually or simultaneously by the CPU 30. The clock reset circuit 37 defines the processing cycle of the CPU 30.
[0023]
The CPU 30 also serves as drive control means such as the display lamps A, B, C, D, E, the grand prize winning number display LED 38, the continuous number display LED 39, etc. in the game board 1, but the drive control system of these members is as follows. The description is omitted because it is well known.
[0024]
Hereinafter, the processing operation of the symbol display device 1 of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to flowcharts (FIGS. 10 to 22) showing main parts of the control program stored in the ROM 31. FIG. Note that the processing of task 1 shown in FIG. 10 and the processing of task 2 shown in FIGS. 11 to 20 are performed in parallel by the CPU 30 at predetermined processing cycles (μs order) in accordance with the signal from the clock reset circuit 37. It is to be executed repeatedly. In the pachinko machine according to the embodiment, when a game ball passes through the left gate 28 or the right gate 29, the normal symbol display device 42 is activated to change the symbol, and the stopped symbol becomes 7. The normal electric accessory 41 is activated to perform the opening operation of the first type starting port 45, and the right and left gates of the game ball during the normal symbol display device 42 operation or the normal electric accessory 41 expansion operation. The passage to 28, 29 is stored up to 4 times, and the stored number is normally lit and displayed by the symbol stored number display LED 58, but the processing of the CPU 30 regarding this point is not related to the gist of the present invention, so the description is omitted. And
[0025]
In addition, when a game ball is won at the first type starting port 45, the symbol display device 1 is operated, and the symbols are stopped in the order of left, right, and middle by changing the left, middle, and right symbols, and confirmed. When the symbol is the symbol related to the jackpot shown in FIG. 7, the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 43 is performed. Further, when a game ball is won at the first type starting port 45 during symbol variation of the symbol display device 1 or during the opening / closing operation of the big winning port 43, a maximum of four balls are stored and displayed on the memory number display LED 27. To do.
[0026]
The process of task 1 shown in FIG. 10 is a process for randomly creating symbols when the left, middle, and right symbol display units 7, 8, and 9 are stopped. The left symbol has 26 levels, the middle symbol has 22 levels, The right symbol is provided with 26 levels of symbol data.
[0027]
The CPU 30 sequentially changes the value of the internal processing index stored in each of the left symbol data storage register r0, the middle symbol data storage register r2, and the right symbol data storage register r1 for each predetermined cycle. , Middle, right combination of symbols is created at random.
[0028]
The CPU 30 creates left, right, and middle symbol data based on the current value of the R register, and creates an internal processing index created in each of the left symbol data storage register r0, the middle symbol data storage register r2, and the right symbol data storage register r1. Is stored (step a1).
[0029]
Here, the R register is a register that stores the state of the execution result every time one instruction of the program stored in the ROM 31 is executed, and is incremented by one every time the CPU 30 executes one instruction of the program. This is a register that is cleared to 0 when the contents of the R register reach saturation.
[0030]
The left symbol data is stored in the left symbol data by adding the values of the fourth and fifth bits (values 0 to 3) of the R register to the values (values 0 to 25) of the left symbol data storage register r0. It is stored in the register r0, and it is determined whether or not the value of the left symbol data storage register r0 is 26 or more. If it is 26 or more, 26 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 25 is set in the left symbol data storage register r0.
[0031]
The right symbol data is stored in the right symbol data storage register by adding the value of the second and third bits of the R register (values from 0 to 3) to the value of the right symbol data storage register r1 (values from 0 to 25). It is stored in r1, and it is determined whether or not the value of the right symbol data storage register r1 is 26 or more. If it is 26 or more, 26 is subtracted from the value of the right symbol register r1 and stored in the right symbol data storage register r1. As a result, any value from 0 to 25 is set in the right symbol data storage register r1.
[0032]
The middle symbol data is obtained by adding the 0th bit and 1-bit values (values 0 to 3) of the R register to the values (values 0 to 21) of the middle symbol data storage register r2. It is stored in r2, and it is determined whether or not the value of the middle symbol data storage register r2 is 22 or more. If it is 22 or more, 22 is subtracted from the value of the middle symbol register r2 and stored in the middle symbol data storage register r2. As a result, any value from 0 to 21 is set in the middle symbol data storage register r2.
[0033]
The relationship between the values of the internal processing indices stored in the left, middle, and right symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 and the symbols to be determined is as shown in Tables 1 to 3.
[0034]
[Table 1]

[0035]
[Table 2]

[0036]
[Table 3]

[0037]
A jackpot symbol is a combination of symbols in which a symbol becomes a predetermined display form on any of a plurality of effective lines (three effective lines in the present embodiment). As shown in FIG. If the same number matches one row, or if the same number matches one diagonal row, that is, if the left middle symbol, middle symbol, and right middle symbol all have the same symbol, There are a case where the middle symbol and the upper right symbol are all the same symbol, and a case where the upper left symbol, the middle symbol and the lower right symbol are all the same symbol, and 73 types are provided in total. In addition, for the player, there are three directions of symbol matching regarding the big hit.
[0038]
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, each of the left symbol display unit 7 and the right symbol display unit 9 is provided with six symbol data each having a specific number 7 and 5 and the number 1 is described. Five symbol data are provided, and three symbols with other numbers are provided. Therefore, the probability that the symbol with the numeral 7 is displayed in a stopped state is 6/26 because there are 26 types of all symbols, and the probability that the symbol with the numeral 5 is displayed in a stopped state is 6/26. The probability that the symbol with the numeral 1 is stopped and displayed is 5/26. And, for example, there are 25 types of symbols that are jackpots related to the symbol with the number 7 as shown in FIG. 7, and there are 17 types of symbols that are jackpots about the symbol with the number 5. In the case where a symbol with these numbers is displayed in a stopped state, there is a high possibility of winning a big hit. In practice, however, it is the task 2 described later that determines whether or not it is a big hit. Depending on the value of the jackpot determination random number in the processing. As shown in FIG. 4, the left symbol row and the right symbol row of the symbol display device 1 are configured such that the order of a plurality of symbols displayed in the symbol row is opposite to each other. For example, for the symbol “345” displayed in the upper left symbol, the middle left symbol, and the lower left symbol, the symbol order is reversed in the symbols displayed in the upper right symbol, the right middle symbol, and the lower right symbol. The symbol “543” is provided.
[0039]
In the embodiment, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed prior to the middle symbol. At this time, the combination of the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed is related to the jackpot shown in FIG. A symbol that matches the combination of the left symbol and the right symbol is called a reach symbol.
[0040]
As an example of the reach symbol, for example, the stopped symbol is “1 * 1” (upper left, middle left, lower left) and the right symbol is “* 21” (upper right, middle right, lower right). In this case, since the possibility that the same number 1 is aligned in a diagonal line has occurred, a reach design is obtained. When the stopped left symbol is “* 12” and the right symbol is “21 *”, it means that the same number 1 is likely to be aligned in a horizontal row, so that it becomes a reach symbol. In the case of a reach design, it means that there is a possibility of a big hit. Further, when the stopped left symbol is “345” and the right symbol is “543”, there is a possibility that the same number 3 is aligned in a diagonal row, and a possibility that the same number 4 is aligned in a horizontal row, Since there is a possibility that the same number 5 is aligned in a diagonal row, it becomes a reach symbol (see the top row in FIG. 7). In this case, a reach state occurs simultaneously on the three active lines, so that the player has a big win regardless of whether the middle symbol is the number 3, the number 4, or the number 5, and the expectation is doubled.
[0041]
Further, when the combination of the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed prior to the stop of the middle symbol becomes a reach symbol, the symbol variation of the middle symbol is repeated several times at low speed and temporarily stopped, and then stopped.
[0042]
Since the reach symbol is not related to the middle symbol, the probability of reaching the reach symbol is 26.26 combinations of the left symbol and the right symbol that can occur, and there are 73 symbols that are big hits, so 73 / 26.26. It becomes.
[0043]
The processing of task 2 shown in FIGS. 11 to 20 includes creation of a big hit determination random number used for symbol determination at the time of symbol stop of the left, right and middle symbol display units 7, 9, 8 and the first type start port. 45, a process for storing the value of the random number for determining the big hit according to the winning detection of the game ball to 45, the symbol variation processing of the left, right, middle symbol display units 7, 9, 8 and the left, middle, right symbol display unit The process of determining the combination of the stop symbols in 7, 8, 9 and the match / mismatch of the left stop symbol and the right stop symbol are determined. If they match, the fluctuation rate of the middle symbol display unit 8 is set to a low speed and temporarily stopped. And a process of repeatedly performing the operation of opening the big prize winning opening 43 in the case of a big win.
[0044]
The CPU 30 that has started the process of task 2 first displays a jackpot symbol in which combinations of values of the internal processing indexes stored in the symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 created in the task 1 process are shown in FIG. A value for displaying a symbol related to the jackpot when the combination of each value of the internal processing index stored in the symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 is compared and determined whether or not it matches any one of the combinations (step b1). If any of the combinations is stored, the current values of r0 to r2 of each internal processing index are stored in the left, right and middle / big hit symbol data storage registers r0a to r2a (step b2), and If the combination of the created internal processing indicators does not match and is related to an outlier, the current values of the internal processing indicators r0 to r2 are set to the left and right. Medium out and stored in each of the pattern data storage register r0b through r2b (step b3).
[0045]
The combinations of symbol data for displaying each of the jackpot symbols shown in FIG. 7 are as shown in Tables 4 and 5.
[0046]
[Table 4]

[0047]
[Table 5]

[0048]
The CPU 30 searches for a file in which the jackpot determination symbol data as shown in Tables 4 and 5 is stored, and creates the left, middle, and right symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 created in the current task 1 processing. It is determined whether the combination of each value of the internal processing index stored in is related to jackpot or outlier.
[0049]
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of a jackpot symbol determination routine. The CPU 30 sets the initial value 1 in the search index register i (step d1), sets the initial value 0 in the left symbol match storage register j (step d2), and determines the i-th jackpot according to the current value of the search index register i. The design data is read (step d3), and the judgment is made to determine whether or not the value of the left design data storage register r0 created by the current task 1 processing matches the left design determination data r0i of the jackpot determination design data (step d). d4) If there is no match, it is determined whether or not the value of the left symbol match storage register j is the initial value 0 (step d5), but since it is determined to be true, the current value of the search index register i is set to one. Increment (step d6), it is determined whether or not the current value of the search index register i exceeds the number of data registrations 73 (step d7). There if false proceeds to step d3, reads the next jackpot determining symbol data. Thereafter, the CPU 30 repeats the loop processing from step d3 to step d7 until the determination result at step d4 becomes true.
[0050]
From Table 4 and Table 5, the value of the left symbol determination data of the jackpot determination data exists for all the ranges 0 to 25 of the values that the left symbol can take. For this reason, while repeating the loop processing from step d3 to step d7, the determination result of step d4 becomes true (step d4), the process proceeds to step d8, and 1 is set in the left symbol match storage register j (step d8). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the middle symbol data storage register r2 created in the current task 1 process matches the middle symbol determination data r2i of the jackpot determination symbol data (step d9). When the process proceeds to d6, the current value of the search index register i is updated by one, the determination process of step d7 is executed, and if it is determined to be false, the process proceeds to step d3 and the next jackpot determination symbol Read data.
[0051]
Thereafter, if the determination result of step d4 is false, the CPU 30 performs the determination process of step d5. However, since the value of the left symbol match storage register j is 1, it is determined to be false. Detachable design.
[0052]
If the determination result at step d4 is true, the CPU 30 performs the determination process at step d9 after executing step d8. If the determination result at step d9 is false, the determination result at step d4 is false. The loop processing of step d3, step d4, step d8, step d9, step d6, and step d7 is performed until the determination result becomes true or the determination result of step d7 becomes true.
[0053]
For example, if the combination of each value of the internal processing index stored in the left, middle, and right symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 created in the processing of task 1 is (5, 10, 5) Data is read up to (5, 16, 20) of the determination data, it is determined to be false in step d9, (6, 16, 17) of the big hit determination data is read, and determined to be false in step d4. In step d5, it is determined to be false and determined to be an off symbol.
[0054]
When the determination result of the determination process in step d9 is true, the CPU 30 matches the value of the right symbol data storage register r1 created in the current task 1 process with the right symbol determination data r1i of the jackpot determination symbol data. When the discrepancy is compared (step d10), and if not, the process proceeds to step d6, the current value of the search index register i is updated by one, the discrimination process of step d7 is executed, and it is determined to be false In step S3, the next jackpot determination symbol data is read.
[0055]
For example, if the combination of the values of the internal processing indices stored in the left, middle, and right symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 created in the current task 1 processing is (5, 16, 5), The data is read up to (5, 16, 20) of the determination data, it is determined to be false at step d10, (6, 16, 17) of the big hit determination data is read, and is determined to be false at step d4. In step d5, it is determined to be false and determined to be an off symbol.
[0056]
For example, if the combination of each value of the internal processing index stored in the left, middle, and right symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 created in the current task 1 processing is (25, 16, 5). All the data up to (25, 20, 24) of the big hit determination data is read, it is determined to be false in step d9, and after the processing of step d6, the determination result of step d7 becomes true and is determined to be a symbol. The
[0057]
Moreover, if all the determination results of step d4, step d9, and step d10 are true, it is determined that the symbol is a big hit.
[0058]
After the processing of step b2 or step b3, the CPU 30 increments the value of the jackpot random number storage register W in the range of 0 to 440 (step b4), and whether the value of the jackpot random number storage register W has reached 440 or not. Is determined (step b5), and the value of the register W is initialized to 0 each time the value of the jackpot random number storage register W reaches 440 (step b6). Therefore, in practice, 440 is not stored as the value of the jackpot random number storage register W.
[0059]
After the process of step b6, the CPU 30 determines whether or not there is a game ball winning in the first type starting port 45, depending on whether or not there is a signal input from the first type starting port winning detection switch SW2. (Step b7) When there is a signal input from the first type start port winning detection switch SW2, the value of the winning memorized number counter C is incremented by one (Step b8) and the value of the memorized winning number counter C is It is determined whether or not the prescribed winning memory number 5 has been reached (step b9). If 5 has not been reached, the process proceeds to step b10 and subsequent steps, and a fixed random number corresponding to the current value of the winning memory counter C is determined. The value of the jackpot random number storage register W is stored and stored in the storage registers R1 to R4 (step b10 to step b16), and the process proceeds to step b17 and subsequent steps. That is, when it is determined that the value of the winning memory number counter C is 1 (step b10), the value of the big random number memory register W is stored in the fixed random number memory register R1 (step b13), and the winning memory number When it is determined that the value of the counter C is 2 (step b11), the value of the big hit random number storage register W is stored in the fixed random number storage register R2 (step b14), and the value of the winning storage number counter C is If it is determined that the value is 3 (step b12), the value of the big hit random number storage register W is stored in the fixed random number storage register R3 (step b15), and it is determined that the value of the winning storage number counter C is not 3. If this is the case (step b12), the value of the jackpot random number storage register W is stored in the fixed random number storage register R4 (step b16), and the process proceeds to step b17.
[0060]
As a result, when there is a winning game ball in the first type starting port 45, up to four values of the random number storage register W for jackpots are stored in the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R4.
[0061]
If no signal input from the first type start port winning detection switch SW2 is detected in the determination process of step b7, the CPU 30 proceeds to the process after step b17, and in the determination process of step b9 Even when the current value of the storage number counter C is 5 or more, the CPU 30 proceeds to the processing after step b17.
[0062]
The CPU 30 creates a jackpot determination random number to be used for symbol determination when the symbols of the left, middle, and right symbol display portions 7, 8, and 9 are stopped by the processing from step b1 to step b17. The value of the random number for jackpot determination is stored according to the winning of the game ball to 45. The CPU 30 executes the processing of task 2 at a predetermined processing cycle, and executes the processing from step b1 to step b17 in the processing of task 2 every time. The process up to b17 is called JOB1.
[0063]
Next, the process after step b17 is demonstrated. In the discrimination processing from step b17 to step b21, the CPU 30 discriminates the current value of the symbol action flag Fa, and the symbols of the left, right, and middle symbol display portions 7, 9, and 8 according to the current value of the symbol action flag Fa. The jackpot determination is performed based on the variation process and the stored value of the stored random number for jackpot determination, and in the case of a jackpot, the opening / closing operation process of the big prize winning opening 43 can be executed. The value of the symbol operation flag Fa is 0 when waiting for detection of winning in the first type start port 45, 1 is changing the left, middle, and right symbol display portions 7, 8, and 9 and 2 is right and the middle symbol display portion. 9 and 8 are changing, 3 is changing when there is no possibility of hitting the middle symbol display unit 8, 4 is changing when there is a possibility of hitting the middle symbol displaying unit 8, and 5 is great. This defines the process of opening / closing the winning opening 43. Moreover, the change stop of each symbol is performed in order of left, right, and middle.
[0064]
If the symbol variation of the left, right, and middle symbol display units 7, 9, and 8 has not started, the current value of the symbol action flag Fa is the initial value 0, and the CPU 30 performs the determination process in step b17. It is determined to be true, and the process proceeds to step b22 to determine whether or not the current value of the winning number storage counter C is 0 (step b22), and the winning number is stored by winning the game ball to the first type starting port 45. If the value of the counter C is a value other than 0, the value of the winning number storage counter is decremented by 1 (step b23), and the data of the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R4 are stored in the fixed value storage register R0 and the fixed random number storage. The shift is sequentially performed to the registers R1 to R3, and initialization is performed by setting 0 to the fixed random number storage register R4 (step b24). As a result, since the value of the winning number storage counter C is decremented by one, if a winning of a game ball to the first type starting port 45 is detected in the processing of task 2 in the next period or later, a fixed random number The value of the big hit random number storage register W is stored in the storage register R4.
[0065]
On the other hand, if the value of the winning number storage counter C is 0 in the determination process of step b22, it means that no winning of the game ball to the first type starting port 45 has been detected. The CPU 30 ends the process of task 2 without changing the symbols.
[0066]
When the process of step b24 is executed, the CPU 30 sets a predetermined value A1 to the parameter t as the left symbol high-speed fluctuation time (step b25), and then activates the timer T1 to start measuring time (step b26). ), The value of the symbol action flag Fa is switched to 1 and the start of the symbol variation process for the left, right and middle symbols is stored (step b27), and the variation state flag Fb is set to 1 (step b28). In accordance with the timing chart of the left, right, and middle symbol variation processing shown, the high-speed variation processing for the left, right, and middle symbols is started (step b29), and the processing for this cycle is completed.
[0067]
In the present embodiment, the high-speed fluctuation time A1 of the left symbol is 4.480 seconds. The value of the fluctuation state flag Fb is a flag that defines the fluctuation state of the symbols of the symbol display units 7, 8, and 9, and is defined as 1 for high-speed fluctuation, 2 for low-speed fluctuation, and 3 for suspension. It is. In addition, the transition order of each symbol is as shown in FIG. 9, and the transition speed of each symbol is 0.016 seconds at a high speed for each symbol, 1/5 symbol, that is, 0.080 seconds / symbol. Yes, at low speed, it is 1/5 symbol in 0.064 seconds, that is, 0.320 seconds / design.
[0068]
In the processing after the next cycle, since the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is 1, the CPU 30 proceeds to step b30 after the processing of JOB1 and the determination of step b17 and step b18, and changes to the value 1 of the fluctuation state flag Fb. Accordingly, until the elapsed time T1 after starting the variable display reaches the value set in the parameter t, the processing of JOB1 and the discrimination processing of step b17, step b18, step b19 and step b30, step b31 and the left, right, The process of step b32 regarding the high-speed fluctuation of each of the symbol display units 7, 9, 8 therein is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.
[0069]
When the elapsed time T1 after the start of variation display reaches the value set in the parameter t (step b31) while repeatedly executing the high-speed variation processing for each symbol in this way, the CPU 30 determines that the value of the fixed value storage register R0 is It is determined whether or not it matches the set value 7 or 9 (step b33). If the determination result in step b33 is true, that is, the first type start port that has been the starting stimulus for the current symbol variation process If the value of the jackpot random number storage register W at the time of detecting 45 winnings is related to the jackpot, the left, right and middle jackpot symbol data storage registers r0a to r2a are stored in the left, right and middle display symbol data storage. While stored in the registers r0c to r2c (step b34), if the value of the fixed value storage register R0 does not match the set value 7 or 9, the left, right, and missed symbol data Each value of the storage registers r0b to r2b is stored in each of the left, right, and middle display symbol data storage registers r0c to r2c (step b35), and the left, right, and middle symbol display units 7, 9, and 8 are stopped when the fluctuation is stopped. Determine the symbol to be displayed.
[0070]
The probability that the symbol variation resulting from winning of the first type starting port 45 will be a big hit is 2/440 because the number of possible ranges for the big hit random number is 440 types of 0 to 439.
[0071]
After executing the process of step b34 or step b35, the CPU 30 displays the value of the display index il related to the left symbol so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the left symbol data storage register r0c is displayed at the fluctuation stop time t2 of the left symbol. (Step b36), 2 is set in the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step b37), a predetermined value A is set in the parameter t as the low speed fluctuation time of the left symbol (step b38), and the timer T1 is set. The time measurement is started (step b39), the fluctuation speed of the left symbol display unit 7 is switched from the high speed fluctuation to the low speed fluctuation (step b40), and the processing of task 2 in this cycle is finished. In the present embodiment, the predetermined value A as the low speed fluctuation time of the left symbol is 0.640 seconds.
[0072]
The value of the display index il of the left symbol display unit 7 at t1 is not obvious, but the value of the low speed fluctuation time A of the left symbol display unit 7 is set in advance, and the symbol of the left symbol display unit 7 at low speed is set in advance. Since the fluctuation speed is constant, the setting change value of the display index il can be obtained based only on the display index information of the symbol to be displayed on the left symbol display section 7 at the fluctuation stop time t2 of the left symbol display section 7. it can.
[0073]
According to the processing timing of the embodiment, when switching from high-speed fluctuation to low-speed fluctuation, the current value of the display index il is a display index two symbols before the symbol that should be displayed on the left symbol display unit 7 when the fluctuation is stopped. By changing the setting of the value of il such that r0c can be obtained, the symbol r0c can be obtained when the fluctuation is stopped.
[0074]
In the processing after the next cycle, since the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is 1, the CPU 30 shifts to step b41 after executing the processing of JOB1, the discrimination processing of step b17, step b18, and step b30. In accordance with the current value 2 of the state storage flag Fb, JOB1, step b17, step b18, step b30 and step until the elapsed time T1 after the start of the low speed fluctuation display on the left symbol display section 7 reaches the value of the parameter t. The determination process of b41, the process related to the low speed fluctuation of the left symbol display unit 7, and the process of step b42 related to the high speed fluctuation of the middle and right symbol display parts 8 and 9 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.
[0075]
When the elapsed time T1 after the start of the low speed fluctuation display reaches the value of the parameter t (step b41), the CPU 30 stops the low speed fluctuation of the left symbol (step b43). At this time, the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index stored in the left display symbol data storage register r0c is displayed statically.
[0076]
Next, the CPU 30 sets a predetermined value A to the parameter t as the low speed fluctuation time of the right symbol (step b44), and the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the right display symbol data storage register r1c at the right symbol fluctuation stop time t3. The value of the display index ir relating to the right symbol is changed so as to be displayed (step b45), the timer T1 is activated to start timing (step b46), and the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is switched to 2 (step b47), the fluctuation speed of the right symbol display unit 9 is switched from the high speed fluctuation to the low speed fluctuation (step b48), and the processing of the task 2 in this cycle is finished.
[0077]
Although the value of the display index ir on the right symbol display unit 9 at t2 is not obvious, the value of the low speed fluctuation time A is set in advance as in the case of the left symbol display unit 4, and the value of the right symbol display unit 9 The setting change value of the display index ir can be obtained based only on the information of the display index of the symbol to be displayed on the right symbol display unit 9 at the fluctuation stop time t3. When switching to low-speed fluctuation, the value of ir is set and changed so that the current value of the display indicator ir becomes the display indicator two symbols before the symbol to be displayed on the right symbol display unit 9 when the fluctuation is stopped. Thus, the symbol r1c can be obtained when the fluctuation is stopped.
[0078]
In the processing after the next cycle, since the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is 2, the CPU 30 shifts to step b49 after executing the processing of JOB1, the discrimination processing of step b17, step b18, and step b19. Depending on the current value 2 of the operation flag Fa, JOB1, step b17, step b18, step b19 and step b49 are performed until the elapsed time T1 after the low speed fluctuation display start of the right symbol display unit 9 reaches the value of the parameter t. And the process of step b50 regarding the high speed fluctuation of the middle symbol display section 8 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.
[0079]
When the elapsed time T1 after the start of the low speed fluctuation display on the right symbol display unit 9 reaches the value of the parameter t (step b49), the CPU 30 stops the low speed fluctuation of the right symbol (step b51). At this time, the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index stored in the right display symbol data storage register r1c is displayed statically.
[0080]
Next, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the current value of the display index il on the left symbol display unit 7 and the current value of the display index ir on the right symbol display unit 9 may display the jackpot symbol shown in FIG. That is, it is determined whether or not the combination of the left symbol and the right symbol stopped prior to the stop of the middle symbol is a combination of values for displaying the reach symbol having the possibility of generating a big hit. However, according to the determination result, various data required for the symbol variation process after t3, that is, the variation time setting of the middle symbol display unit 8 is set.
[0081]
The CPU 30 searches for a file in which the jackpot determination symbol data as shown in Tables 4 and 5 is stored, and first selects a left symbol display index that matches the current value of the display index il of the left symbol display unit 7. The jackpot determination symbol data is selected, and then it is determined whether or not the right symbol display index of the selected jackpot determination symbol data matches the current value of the display index ir of the right symbol display unit 9. In this case, the combination of the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed becomes the reach symbol. If not, the next jackpot determination symbol data having the left symbol display index that matches the current value of the display index il is selected, and the process of comparing the values of the right symbol display index is repeated. By this process, all the jackpot determination symbol data having the left symbol display index that matches the current value of the display index il of the left symbol display unit 7 is searched and compared, and the right symbol display index and the right symbol of the jackpot determination symbol data are compared. If the current value of the display index ir on the display unit 9 does not match, it is not a reach symbol. An example of the reach symbol determination routine is shown in FIG. 22, but the description is omitted because it is substantially the same algorithm as the jackpot symbol search routine described above.
[0082]
First, when the determination result of step b52 is false, that is, when the stop symbol of the left symbol display unit 7 and the stop symbol of the right symbol display unit 9 are not reach symbols and there is no possibility of generating a big hit In other words, when the reach is not reached, the CPU 30 displays the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the middle display symbol data storage register r1c at the fluctuation stop time t4 of the middle symbol display unit 8. The value of the display index ic related to the symbol is changed to the value two symbols before (step b53), a predetermined value A is set to the parameter t as the low speed fluctuation time of the middle symbol (step b54), and the timer T1 is set. It starts to count time (step b55), the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is switched to 3 (step b56), and the fluctuation speed of the middle symbol display section 5 is switched from high speed fluctuation to low speed fluctuation (step b56). Flop b57), and ends the processing of Task 2 of this period.
[0083]
In the next processing cycle, the value of the symbol operation flag Fa becomes 3, so that the CPU 30 determines, based on the value 3 of the symbol operation flag Fa, JOB1, step b17, step b18, step b19, step b20, and then step b58. In the following, JOB1, step b17, step b18, step b19 until the elapsed time T1 after the start of the low speed fluctuation display of the medium symbol reaches the value of the parameter t according to the value 3 of the symbol operation flag Fa. , Step b20 and step b58 and the process of step b59 relating to the low speed fluctuation of the middle symbol display unit 8 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.
[0084]
When the elapsed time T1 after the start of the low-speed fluctuation display of the middle symbol reaches the value of the parameter t (step b58), the CPU 30 stops the low-speed fluctuation of the middle symbol (step b60). At this time, the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the middle display symbol data storage register r2c is statically displayed. In this case, the symbol combination of the stopped left, right, and middle symbol display portions 7, 9, and 8 is not a jackpot symbol combination. The CPU 30 initializes the value of the symbol operation flag Fa by setting it to 0 (step b61), initializes it by setting the value of the fluctuation state flag Fb by 1 (step b62), and ends the processing of the task 2 in this cycle. In this case, since the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is set to 0, in the processing of task 2 in the next cycle, the CPU 30 proceeds to step b22 after the discrimination processing in step b17 and returns to the first type starting port 45. If there is a winning memory, the symbol variation process for a new symbol is started.
[0085]
Further, when the determination result of step b52 becomes true, that is, when the combination of the stop symbol of the left symbol display unit 7 and the stop symbol of the right symbol display unit 9 becomes a reach symbol, that is, the big hit symbol When the reach satisfies the necessary condition for the combination, the CPU 30 performs a process of periodically variably displaying the fluctuation speed of the middle symbol display unit 8 at a low speed and a pause.
[0086]
After the process of step b52, first, the CPU 30 determines the value of the middle symbol variation random number register U regarding the variation time until the stop symbol display of the middle symbol at the time of reach when the left stop symbol coincides with the right stop symbol ( (Values from 0 to 31) are created based on the current value of the R register and stored in the medium symbol fluctuation random number register U (step b63). As the value of the medium symbol fluctuation random number register U, the value of 0 bits to 4 bits (values from 0 to 31) of the R register is used.
[0087]
Next, the CPU 30 selects the number of times to repeat the low speed fluctuation time B and the pause time C as one set based on the selection condition file of the ROM 31 as shown in Table 6 according to the value of the medium symbol fluctuation random number register U. Then, the value is stored in the fluctuation counter C1 (step b64). In the present embodiment, the low-speed fluctuation and pause of the middle symbol are repeated from a minimum of 8 times to a maximum of 39 times.
[0088]
[Table 6]

[0089]
Further, the value of the display index ic related to the middle symbol is increased by the number of symbols based on the value of the variation counter C1 so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the middle display symbol data storage register r2c is displayed when the middle symbol is stopped. (Step b65), and then resets and initializes the stop count counter C2 for counting the number of repetitions of the low-speed fluctuation and pause of the middle symbol that is fluctuating (Step b66), and proceeds to Step c11. . In the present embodiment, the low speed fluctuation time at the time of medium symbol reach is 0.320 seconds. Since the transition speed of the symbol at the time of low speed fluctuation is 0.320 seconds, the pattern for one symbol fluctuates by one low speed fluctuation.
[0090]
For example, when the value of the middle symbol data storage register r2c is 10, that is, when the middle symbol displayed from Table 3 is “6” and the value of the middle symbol variation random number register U is zero. The number of repetitions of low speed fluctuation and pause is 8 from Table 6, and in the process of step b65, the value of the display index ic relating to the middle symbol is the symbol “2” 8 symbols before the middle symbol “6” from FIG. Is switched to a value 18 for displaying low-speed fluctuation.
[0091]
The CPU 30 that has shifted to step c11 sets a predetermined value B that defines the low-speed fluctuation time of the middle symbol in the parameter t (step c11), activates the timer T1, and starts measuring the elapsed time (step c12). The value of the operation flag Fa is switched to 4 (step c13), the value of the fluctuation state flag Fb is switched to 2 (step c14), the low-speed fluctuation of the middle symbol is started (step c15), and the processing of this cycle is finished. .
[0092]
Since the value of the symbol action flag Fa is 4 after the next processing cycle, the CPU 30 discriminates JOB1, step b17, step b18, step b19, step b20, step b21 based on the value 4 of the symbol action flag Fa. Then, the process proceeds to step c1. The processing after step c1 is referred to as JOB2. Since the value of the variation state flag Fb is 2, the CPU 30 determines true in the determination process of step c1 and proceeds to step c2. Hereinafter, according to the value 2 of the variation state flag Fb, the middle symbol Until the elapsed time T1 after the start of the low-speed fluctuation display reaches the value of the parameter t, the discrimination process of JOB1, step b17, step b18, step b19, step b20, step b21 and steps c1 to c2 and the middle symbol display section The process of step c3 regarding the low speed fluctuation of 8 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.
[0093]
When the elapsed time T1 after the start of the low speed fluctuation display of the middle symbol reaches the value of the parameter t (step c2), the CPU 30 stops the fluctuation of the middle symbol (step c4) and sets the value of the fluctuation state flag Fb to 3 (Step c5), a predetermined value C is set in the parameter t as the temporary stop time of the middle symbol (step c6), and the timer T1 is activated to start measuring the elapsed time from the symbol stop of the middle symbol (step c6). c7) The processing of task 2 in this cycle is terminated.
[0094]
At this time, the symbol corresponding to the value of the internal processing index of the middle display symbol data storage register r2c is not yet displayed on the middle symbol display unit 8.
[0095]
In the processing after the next cycle, since the value of the fluctuation state flag Fb is 3, the CPU 30 performs steps after executing discrimination processing of JOB1, step b17, step b18, step b19, step b20, step b21 and step c1. The process proceeds to c8, and until the elapsed time T1 after the temporary stop of the middle symbol reaches the value of the parameter t according to the current value 3 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb, JOB1, step b17, step b18, The determination processing of step b19, step b20, step b21, step c1, and step c8 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle. In the present embodiment, the pause time C is set to 0.192 seconds.
[0096]
When the elapsed time T1 after the temporary stop of the middle symbol reaches the value of the parameter t (step c8), the CPU 30 increments the value of the stop count counter C2 by 1 (step c9), and then the current count of the stop count counter C2 A match / mismatch between the value and the value stored in the variation counter C1 is compared (step c10). If the determination result is a match, the process proceeds to step c16. On the other hand, if the determination result at step c10 is inconsistent, the process proceeds to step c11 again, the processing from step c11 to step c15 is executed, the low-speed fluctuation of the middle symbol is started, and the processing of this cycle is ended.
[0097]
When the left symbol and the right symbol stopped prior to the middle symbol stop become reach symbols, the low speed fluctuation is performed at least eight times, so the CPU 30 performs the processing of JOB1, step b17, step b18. , Step b19, Step b20, Step b21, Step c1, Step c2 and Step c3, Step c1, Step c2, Step c4 to Step c7, Step c1, Step c8 to Step c15 Are sequentially repeated every time the timer T1 reaches the set time, and during this time, the value of the stop number counter C2 is incremented by one. In the meantime, in the middle symbol display unit 8, as explained in the above-described example, the middle symbol is temporarily stopped as 2 → * → 3 → * → 4 → * → 5 → * → 6. Later, it was shifted to a low speed.
[0098]
Note that if the medium symbol that continues to fluctuate temporarily stops due to a loss of the symbol, the player will be disappointed that the symbol has been lost, but if the symbol that has paused fluctuates again, the expectation for the big hit will be revived. Each time the pause and change are repeated, the player can be excited and the expectation can be enhanced.
[0099]
When the current value of the stop count counter C2 matches the value stored in the variation count counter C1 in the determination process in step c10 (step c10), the value is stored in the middle display symbol data storage register r2c at this time. The symbol corresponding to the value of the internal processing index is displayed statically.
[0100]
The CPU 30 proceeds to step c16, and determines whether or not the symbols stopped and displayed on the stopped left, middle and right symbol display portions 7, 8, and 9 are big hits (step c16). That is, it is determined whether or not the combination of the display indexes il, ic, and ir relating to the left, middle, and right symbols matches any of the aforementioned big hit determination data.
[0101]
If the determination result in step c16 is true, that is, if the stopped left, middle and right symbols are symbols related to the big hit, the CPU 30 switches the value of the symbol operation flag Fa to 5 (step c17). The execution of the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 43 can be started, and the processing of this cycle is finished. In this case, in the process of task 2 in the next cycle and thereafter, the CPU 30 ends the process after executing the process of JOB1 and the determination process of steps b17 to b20, and the determination result is false in the process of step c21. Virtually no symbol changes are made. Also, the opening / closing operation processing of the special winning opening 43 is executed as a task different from the processing of task 1 and task 2 and is executed only when the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is 5, When the predetermined opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 43 is completed by passing the game ball to the specific area 44 during the opening of 43, the symbol operation flag Fa is set to 0 and initialized, and the processing is ended. In addition, description regarding the opening / closing operation | movement process of the special winning opening 43 is abbreviate | omitted description as what is performed by the conventional technique currently disclosed.
[0102]
On the other hand, if the determination result in step c16 is false, that is, if the left, middle, and right symbols that have been stopped are not symbols related to the big hit, the CPU 30 sets the value of the symbol operation flag Fa to 0. Initialization is performed (step c18), the initial value 1 is set as the value of the fluctuation state flag Fb (step c19), and the processing of this cycle is completed.
[0103]
In this case, since the value of the symbol operation flag Fa is set to 0, in the processing of task 2 in the next cycle, the CPU 30 proceeds to step b22 after the discrimination processing in step b17 and returns to the first type starting port 45. If there is a winning memory, the symbol variation process for a new symbol is started.
[0104]
