  Hereinafter, processing operations related to the symbol display device 1 in the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to flowcharts (FIGS. 23 to 38) showing main parts of the control program stored in the ROM 34. FIG.

  FIG. 23 is a main flowchart showing an outline of the processing operation executed by the CPU 14. The CPU 14 performs initialization processing after power-on (step S0), and each storage register and flags necessary for processing to be executed below. Initialize the.

  After performing the initialization process, the CPU 14 performs each process of task 1, task 2, task 3, display data / display command output process and timer subtraction process shown in steps S1 to S5 as a clock reset circuit (not shown). In accordance with a signal from (omitted), it is repeatedly executed in parallel at predetermined processing cycles.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an outline of the task 1 process. The processing of task 1 is mainly to create left, right, and middle suspended data that is finally stopped and displayed on the left, right, and middle symbol display sections 43, 45, and 44, and update creation of each random value, that is, jackpot Random number V for determination, random number WIN for setting moving image, random number OUT for reaching moving image setting, random numbers X1 and X2 for setting game ball operation, and first type starting port provided in game board 22 in FIG. The game ball winning detection to 26 and the jackpot determination random number V corresponding to the number of winning memories are stored.

  CPU14 which started the process of the task 1 performs a display symbol preparation process (step a1). FIG. 25 is a flowchart schematically showing the display symbol creation process. First, the CPU 14 creates left, right, and middle symbol data based on the current value of the R register, and stores the created symbol data in the left symbol data storage. The data is stored in each of the register u0, the right symbol data storage register u1, and the middle symbol data storage register u2 (step a16), and the process proceeds to step a17.

  The algorithms for creating the left, right, and middle symbol data are different, and the combinations of the created left, right, and middle symbol data are random. The R register is a register that is incremented by one every time the program stored in the ROM 34 is executed, and the contents of the register are cleared to 0 when the saturation state is reached.

  In step a17, it is determined whether or not the combination of the left, right and middle symbol data created in step a16 is a big hit. The winning combination is a case where the values of the left, right and middle symbol data stored in the left symbol data storage register u0, the right symbol data storage register u1 and the middle symbol data storage register u2 all match. . When the combination of the left, right, and middle symbol data is related to the big hit, the CPU 14 sets the values of the left, right, and middle symbol data to the left, right, and middle big hit symbol data storage registers v0, v1, and v2, respectively. (Step a18), and the display symbol creation process ends.

  If it is determined in step a17 that the combination of the left, right, and middle symbol data is not related to the big hit, that is, if it is determined that the combination is related to losing, the CPU 14 proceeds to step a19. To do.

  In step a19, it is determined whether or not the combination of the left, right, and middle symbol data created in step a16 is a reachable combination. The reach combination is a part of the combination to be removed, the value of the left symbol data stored in the left symbol data storage register u0 and the value of the right symbol data stored in the right symbol data storage register u1. Is a match. Even in the case of a combination that is a big hit, the value of the left symbol data and the value of the right symbol data naturally match, but are excluded by the discrimination processing in step a17 and are therefore included in the combination that will be reached. It is obvious that it is not.

  When the combination of the left, right, and middle symbol data relates to the reach, the CPU 14 sets the left, right, and middle symbol data values to the left, right, and middle reach symbol data storage registers r0, r1, and r2, respectively. (Step a20), if the combination of left, right, and middle symbol data is not related to reach, the values of left, right, and middle symbol data are stored in the left, right, and middle symbol memory registers z0 and z1. , Z2 (step a21), and the display symbol creation process ends.

  When the CPU 14 finishes the display symbol creation process in step a1, the CPU 14 updates and creates each random number value used when executing the process of task 2 and task 3 by the process of steps a2 to a5.

  In step a2, the value of the jackpot determination random number V is updated and created. The value of the big hit determination random number V is created by updating one by one cyclically within a predetermined range, for example, within a range of 0 ≦ V ≦ α, in a predetermined processing cycle. .

In step a3, the value of the hit moving picture setting random number WIN is updated and created. The value of the winning video setting random number WIN is the display screen displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9 of the symbol display device 1 when the value of the big hit determination random number V matches the predetermined big hit setting value. In the above-mentioned 1 .. ~ 6. It is a random number for selectively setting any one of the six patterns described in the above. Note that the value of the random number WIN for setting the hit moving image is the same as the above-described 1. ~ 6. Corresponding to the six patterns described above, it is created by updating one by one in a cyclic manner within a range of 0 ≦ WIN ≦ 5.
For example, when the value of the random number WIN for setting the hit animation is 0, “1. On the special zone screen (A), the left, middle and right symbols are all stopped and displayed, This means that the big hit is established in the display mode that the middle symbol and the right symbol all match.

  In step a4, the value of the out-reach video setting random number OUT is updated and created. The value of the out-of-reach moving picture setting random number OUT is the left, right, middle symbol display portions 43, 45, when the value of the big hit determination random number V is out of agreement with the predetermined big hit setting value. When the combination of left, right, and middle symbol data that is finally stopped displayed at 44 is reach, that is, it is out of place, but the left symbol that is displayed in stop and the right symbol coincides, the reach out is established. It is a random number for selectively setting any one of the 12 patterns described in the above (1) to (12). In this case, it is apparent that it cannot be distinguished from the reach state that occurs in the preceding process that becomes a big hit, but it is not a big hit in the end.

  The random reach out-of-reach video setting random number OUT is cyclically set at a predetermined cycle within a range of 0 ≦ OUT ≦ 11 corresponding to the 12 patterns described in (1) to (12) above. Created by updating. For example, when the value of the random number OUT for reaching out moving image setting is 2, the left symbol and the right symbol coincide with each other to reach a reach, and “the game ball P is removed from the four-hole winning screen (A)”. This means that the disapproval is set in the display moving image mode of “falling into 57”.

  In step a5, the values of the game ball motion setting random numbers X1 and X2 are updated and created. The value of the game ball motion setting random number X1 is a game ball indicated by arrows a, b, c on the game board screen (A), the game board screen (B), the special zone screen (A), and the special zone screen (B). R is a random number for selectively setting one of the three movement paths of P, and 0 ≦ X1 ≦ 2 corresponding to the three movement paths of the game ball P indicated by arrows a, b, c. Within a range, it is created by updating one by one cyclically at predetermined intervals. For example, when the value of the game ball motion setting random number X1 is 0, it means that the movement route indicated by the arrow a in each screen is set.

The value of the game ball motion setting random number X2 is a random number for selectively setting one of the two movement paths on the game board screen (A) to the four hole winning screen (B). The values of 1 and 1 are alternately switched and updated every predetermined period. For example, on the game board screen (B), when the value of the game ball motion setting random number X2 is 0, it means that the movement route indicated by the arrow a is set.

  When completing the processing up to step a5, the CPU 14 proceeds to step a6. In step a6, it is determined whether or not there is a winning detection signal from the first type start opening winning detection switch SW1. When there is a winning detection signal of the first type start port winning detection switch SW1, the CPU 14 proceeds to step a7, and determines whether or not the current value of the winning number storage counter C1 exceeds the prescribed storage number 4 (step). a7) If the current value of the winning number storage counter C1 does not exceed the specified storage number 4, the value of the winning number storage counter C1 is incremented by one (step a8), and the process proceeds to step a9.

  When proceeding to step a9, the CPU 14 stores and stores the value of the big hit determination random number V in the determined random number storage registers R1 to R4 corresponding to the current value of the winning number storage counter C1 (steps a9 to a9). Step a15), the task 1 processing is terminated. As a result, when a game ball wins the first type starting port 26, up to four values of the big hit determination random number V are stored in the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R4.

  In the determination process of step a6, when there is no winning detection by the first type start port winning detection switch SW1, and in the determination process of step a7, the current value of the winning number storage counter C1 exceeds the specified storage number 4. If it is, the CPU 14 ends the task 1 processing without going through steps a9 to a15 as described in the flowchart.

  Next, the processing of task 2 and the processing of task 3 will be described in accordance with the game ball winning at the first type starting port 26 arranged on the game board 22 shown in FIG. The processing of task 2 shown in FIG. 26 to FIG. 28 mainly relates to the left / right / medium symbol variation display and the opening / closing operation of the big winning opening 28 when a big hit occurs.

  When starting the processing of task 2, the CPU 14 first determines whether or not the current value of the variation processing flag F1 is a value 0 that can newly start symbol variation (step b1). When the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 is 0, the symbol fluctuation can be newly started, and the CPU 14 proceeds to step b2.

In addition, the symbol fluctuation state in the symbol display apparatus 1 corresponding to the value of the fluctuation process flag F1 is as follows.
F1 = 0 (New symbol variation can be started)
F1 = 1 (Left, Right, Middle symbol changing)
F1 = 2 (left symbol stop display, right, middle symbol changing)
F1 = 3 (left, right symbol stop display, middle symbol changing)
F1 = 4 (left, right, middle stop display, big hit success judgment or big hit)
In step b2, it is determined whether or not the value of the winning number storage counter C1 is zero. If the value of the winning number storage counter C1 is 0, there is no memory regarding the winning of the game ball in the first type starting port 26, and the CPU 14 ends the task 2. For this reason, the change of the symbol is not started.

  The process of task 3 shown in FIGS. 29 to 38 is a process related to the display screen displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9 of the symbol display device 1.

  When starting the process of task 3, the CPU 14 first determines whether or not the current value of the screen processing flag F2 is a value 0 that defines a standby state until the start of symbol variation (step c1). When it is determined that the value of the screen processing flag F2 is 0, the game board screen (A) shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9, and the CPU 14 stores the screen number 1 in the screen number designation register GM. Is set (step c2), and then the current value of the game ball motion setting random number X1 (X1 is one of 0 to 2) is set in the game ball motion designation register PM (step c3). Exit.

The display screen state in the liquid crystal display unit 9 of the symbol display device 1 corresponding to the value of the screen processing flag F2 is as follows.
F2 = 0 (standby state until the start of symbol change, game board screen (A) is displayed)
F2 = 1 (Left, Right, Middle symbols changing, Game board screen (B) is displayed)
F2 = 2 (Left symbol stopped, right, middle symbol changing, game board screen (B) is displayed)
F2 = 3 (Left and right symbols stopped, middle symbols changed, game board screen (B) is displayed)
F2 = 4 (left, right, middle symbol stop, special zone screen (A), (B), four hole winning screen (A), (B), three hole winning screen (A), (B), ( (Displays one of C) and (D))
F2 = 5 (Left / Right symbol stopped, Middle symbol changed, Special zone screen (A), (B) is displayed)
F2 = 6 (Left, right symbol stopped, middle symbol changing, one of the four hole winning screens (A), (B) is displayed)
F2 = 7 (Left, right symbol stopped, middle symbol changing, one of the three hole winning screens (A), (B), (C), (D) is displayed)
The display screens corresponding to the screen numbers set in the processing of task 3 are as shown in Table 1.

The CPU 14 that has finished the processing of the task 3 executes the display data / display command processing shown in step S4 of FIG. 23, and the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1 shown in FIG. A current value of a game ball motion setting random number X1 that designates a moving path of the game ball P in which the moving image mode is set at random as a part of the moving image portion on the game board screen (A) is output.

  In response to this, the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1 stores the control program for screen display stored in the system ROM 3 and each data set in the sprite table, character screen table, and palette table shown in FIGS. Based on this, display screen data for displaying the game board screen (A) is developed on the DRAM 6 or DRAM 7 and the game board screen (A) is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9 via the LCD controller 8.

  Further, the CPU 2 switches the display coordinate position of the sprite screen constituting the game ball P for each predetermined period in accordance with the current value of the input game ball motion setting random number X1, so that the game board screen (A) The game ball P is moved and displayed along any one of the movement paths indicated by arrows a, b, and c. For example, if the current value of the game ball motion setting random number X1 is 0, the movement route indicated by the arrow a on the game board screen (A) is selected and designated, and the game ball P becomes the movement route indicated by the arrow a. Along with the video. As described above, on the game board screen (A), the moving path of the game ball P, that is, the moving image mode of the game ball P differs depending on the current value of the game ball motion setting random number X1, and the game ball motion setting It is set randomly according to the value of the random number X1.

  Now, when a game ball wins the first type start port 26 arranged in the game board 22 shown in FIG. 1, as described above, the value of the big hit determination random number V for the game ball win in the process of task 1 is a fixed random number. Up to four are stored in the storage registers R1 to R4, and are counted and stored as a winning storage number in the winning storage number counter C1.

  In the process of task 2, the determination result of step b2 is true, and the CPU 14 executes the process after step b3.

  The CPU 14 decrements the value of the winning storage number counter C1 by 1 (step b3), and then sequentially shifts the data in the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R4 to the fixed value storage register R0 and the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R3. Then, the fixed random number storage register R4 is initialized to 0 (step b4). As a result, the value of the big hit determination random number V related to the big hit loss of the symbol combination related to the start of the current symbol change is transferred and stored in the fixed value storage register R0.

  After the process of step b4, the CPU 14 proceeds to step b5. In step b5, it is determined whether or not the value of the jackpot determination random number V stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is related to the jackpot. Note that this determination processing is based on, for example, whether or not the value of the jackpot determination random number V matches a preset value that defines a jackpot.

If the value of the big hit determination random number V stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is related to the big hit, the CPU 14 sets the left, right, middle big hit symbol storage registers v0, v1, v2 to the left, right, and middle. stored in the display symbol storage register j0, j1, j2 (step b6), then stores the jackpot generated by setting the jackpot flag (step b7), generated in the process before the jackpot confirm set reach flag The reach state occurrence is stored (step b8), and the current value (one of values 0 to 5) of the moving image setting random number WIN is set in the determined moving image random number storage register D1 (step b9). Control goes to step b15.

  If it is determined in step b5 that the value of the big hit determination random number V stored in the definite value storage register R0 is not related to the big hit, that is, the value of the big hit determination random number V is related to an outage. If it is determined that it is, the CPU 14 proceeds to step b10.

  In step b10, it is determined whether or not the value of the jackpot determination random number V stored in the definite value storage register R0 is related to out of reach. In this determination process, for example, whether or not the value of the random number V for jackpot determination is a value within a range of set values β1 and β2 that defines a predetermined reach deviation, that is, β1 ≦ V ≦ β2. It depends on whether there is.

If the value of the jackpot determination random number V stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is related to the reach failure, the CPU 14 sets the left, right, and middle reach symbol storage registers r0, r1, and r2 to the left, right, stored in the center display symbol storage register j0, j1, j2 (step b11), then stores the reach state generation that occurs in the process before becoming established off by setting the reach flag (step b12), determined reach out videos The current value (one of values 0 to 11) of the out-of-reach moving image setting random number OUT is set in the random number storage register D2 (step b13), and the process proceeds to step b15.

Further, if the value of the big hit determination random number V stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is not related to the out-of-reach, the CPU 14 sets the values of the left, right, and out-of-place symbol storage registers z0, z1, and z2 to the left, The right and middle display symbol storage registers j0, j1, and j2 are stored (step b14), and the process proceeds to step b15.

  In step b15, the CPU 14 sets 1 to the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 (step b15), switches the value of the screen processing flag F2 to 1 (step b16), and sets a predetermined time until the left symbol stops in the soft timer. Is set (step b17), symbol variation data relating to the left, right, and middle symbols is created (step b18), and the processing of task 2 in the current cycle is completed.

  The CPU 14 thereafter performs the task 3 process and the display data / display command process, and then the soft timer is subtracted by the timer subtraction process of step S5.

  In the task 2 processing after the next cycle, as a result of the value of the variation processing flag F1 being switched to 1, the CPU 14 determines that the determination processing in step b19 is true after the determination in step b1, and proceeds to the determination processing in step b20. Thereafter, until the soft timer expires, symbol variation data relating to the left, right, and middle symbols is repeatedly generated at a predetermined processing cycle.

  In the process of task 2, when the left, right, and middle symbols change and the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 1, in the process of task 3, the CPU 14 performs step c4 after the determination in step c1. Is determined to be true, the process proceeds to step c5, the screen number 2 is set in the screen number designation register GM (step c5), and then the current value of the game ball motion setting random number X1 (X1 is 0 to 2) Any one of them) is set in the game ball operation designation register PM (step c3), and the processing of task 3 is ended.

  The CPU 14 that has finished the processing of the task 3 executes the display data / display command processing, and displays the value of the screen number 2 as a display command to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the moving image portion on the game board screen (A). As a part, the current value of the game ball motion setting random number X1 for designating the moving path of the game ball P in which the moving image mode is set at random, and the symbol variation data displayed on the left, right and middle symbol display units 43, 44, 45 Is output.

  Upon receiving this, the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1 switches the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 to the game board screen (B) based on the input screen number 2, and displays the left, middle and right symbols at the bottom of the display screen. By displaying the units 43, 44, and 45, in each of the symbol display units 43, 44, and 45, the value of the display data is continuously incremented, and the display output of each line is switched every several lines at a predetermined cycle. The left, right, and middle symbols are variably displayed so that the symbols flow up and down. On the game board screen (B), the display coordinate position of the sprite screen constituting the game ball P is switched at predetermined intervals in accordance with the current value of the input game ball motion setting random number X1. On the board screen (A), the game ball P is moved and displayed along any one of the movement paths indicated by arrows a, b, and c.

  Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses until the left symbol stops and the value of the soft timer becomes 0 by the timer subtraction process of step S5, the time-up of the soft timer is detected in the discrimination process of step b20 in the task 2 process. Then, the CPU 14 proceeds to step b21, sets 2 to the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 (step b21), switches the value of the screen processing flag F2 to 2 (step b22), and sets a predetermined time until the right symbol stops in the soft timer. Time is set (step b23), symbol variation data relating to the right and middle symbols is created (step b24), and the processing of task 2 in the current cycle is terminated.

  As a result of the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 being switched to 2, in the processing of task 2 in the next cycle and thereafter, the CPU 14 determines that the determination processing in step b25 is true after the determination in steps b1 and b19, and step b26. In the following, until the time of the soft timer expires, the creation of symbol variation data relating to the right and middle symbols is repeated at a predetermined processing cycle.

  In the process of task 2, when the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 2, in the process of task 3, the CPU 14 determines that the determination process of step c6 is true after the determination of steps c1 and c4, and the left The value of the left display symbol storage register j0 is set in the stop symbol setting register LT (step c7), the screen number 2 is set in the screen number designation register GM (step c8), and then the current value of the game ball motion setting random number X2 (X2 is any one of 0 to 1) is set in the game ball operation designation register PM (step c9), and the processing of task 3 is ended.

  The CPU 14 that has finished the processing of the task 3 executes the display data / display command processing, and the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1 sets the value set in the left stop symbol setting register LT, that is, the left display symbol storage register. For setting a game ball motion that designates one of the arrows a and b as the value of j0, the value of screen number 2 as a display command, and the movement path of the game ball P on the game board screen (B) The current value of the random number X2 and the symbol variation data related to the right and middle symbols are output.

  As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the left display symbol storage register j0 is stopped and displayed on the left symbol display unit 43 at the bottom of the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display unit 9, and the game board screen ( In B), the game ball P is moved and displayed along one of the movement paths indicated by the arrows a and b, passes through the open chucker 51, and the wing pieces 50 and 50 of the winning device 47 are displayed in the winning opening 52. The mouth 48a of the cover 48 is opened and displayed.

  Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses until the right symbol stops and the value of the soft timer becomes 0 by the timer subtraction process, the time-up of the soft timer is detected in the discrimination process of step b26 in the task 2 process. Next, the CPU 14 sets the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 to 3 (step b27), switches the value of the screen processing flag F2 to 3 (step b28), and sets a predetermined time until the medium symbol stops when the soft timer is released. It is set (step b29), symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol is created (step b30), and the processing of task 2 in the current cycle is completed.

  As a result of switching the value of the fluctuation process flag F1 to 3, in the process of task 2 in the next cycle and thereafter, the CPU 14 determines that the determination process of step b31 is true after the determination of step b1, step b19, and step b25. Then, the process proceeds to the determination process of step b32, and thereafter, until the soft timer expires, the creation of symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol is repeated at a predetermined processing cycle.

  In the process of task 2, when the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 3, in the process of task 3, the CPU 14 determines that the determination process of step c10 is true after the determination of step c1, step c4, and step c6. Then, the value of the right display symbol storage register j1 is set in the right stop symbol setting register RT (step c11), the screen number 2 is set in the screen number designation register GM (step c12), and then the process proceeds to step c13.

  In step c13, it is determined whether or not a reach flag is set. If the value of the big hit determination random number V that has started the current symbol variation is a big hit or out of reach, the reach flag is set by the process of step b8 or step b12 in the process of task 2.

  First, a case where it is determined that the reach flag is not set will be described. In this case, this is a normal case. The CPU 14 sets the current value (any one of 0 to 2) of the game ball motion setting random number X1 in the game ball motion designation register PM (step c14), and ends the processing of task 3.

  The CPU 14 that has completed the processing of the task 3 executes display data / display command processing, and sets the value set in the right stop symbol setting register RT to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, that is, the right display symbol storage register. The value of j1, the value of screen number 2 as a display command, the current value of the game ball motion setting random number X1 for designating the movement path of the game ball P on the game board screen (B), and symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol Is output.

  As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the right display symbol storage register j1 is stopped and displayed on the right symbol display unit 45 at the bottom of the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display unit 9, and the middle symbol display unit 44 displays the middle symbol. Is displayed in a variable manner, and the game ball P is moved and displayed along one of the movement paths indicated by the arrows a, b, and c on the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display unit 9. The When the reach flag is not set, the moving image mode of the game ball P is not picked up by the wing piece 50 of the winning device 47 that has been opened and won to the winning opening 52. Further, the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are a combination of detachment that does not match.

  After this, when a predetermined time until the middle symbol stop at the time of lapse has elapsed and the value of the soft timer becomes 0 by the timer subtraction process, the time-up of the soft timer is detected in the discrimination process of step b32 in the task 2 process Is done. Next, the CPU 14 sets 4 to the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 (step b33), switches the value of the screen processing flag F2 to 4 (step b34), and ends the processing of the task 2 in the current cycle.

  When the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 4 in the task 2 process, the CPU 14 determines in step c1, step c4, step c6, step c10, step c19, step c29, and step c52 in the task 3 process. Thereafter, the determination process of step c70 is determined to be true, the value of the left display symbol storage register j2 is set in the middle stop symbol setting register CT (step c71), and then the determination process of whether or not the big hit flag is set (Step c72), but in this case, the determination result is false and the processing of task 3 is terminated.

  The CPU 14 that has finished the processing of the task 3 executes the display data / display command processing, and the screen number set in the screen number designation register GM for the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1 (in this case, screen number 2). And the value set in the middle stop symbol setting register CT, that is, the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2.

  As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2 is stopped and displayed on the middle symbol display unit 44 below the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display unit 9.

  As a result of the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 being switched to 4, in the process of task 2 in the next cycle, the CPU 14 determines that the determination process of step b35 is true after the determination of step b1, step b19, step b25, and step b31. Then, the process proceeds to the determination process of step b36 to determine whether or not the special flag is set (step b36). In this case, the determination result is false, and the process proceeds to step b40 to change the process flag. F1 is set to 0 and initialized (step b40), the screen processing flag F2 is set to 0 and initialized (step b41), the big hit flag is cleared (step b42), the reach flag is cleared (step b43), the task The process of 2 is finished.

  As a result of the initialization of both the value of the variation processing flag F1 and the value of the screen processing flag F2, the screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 becomes the game board screen (A) and enters a standby state until the symbol variation starts.

  Next, the case where it is determined in step c13 that the reach flag is set will be described.

  When the reach flag is set, the CPU 14 designates the game ball operation number 4 in the game ball operation designation register PM, that is, the movement path of the game ball P indicated by the arrow d on the game board screen (B). A value of 3 is set (step c15), a predetermined time until the game board screen (B) ends displaying is set in the switching timer (step c16), and then slightly longer than the predetermined time set in the switching timer. The time is reset in the soft timer to extend the fluctuation time for the middle symbol (step c17), the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 5 (step c18), and the processing of task 3 is ended.

  The value reset in the soft timer and the value set in the switching timer are subtracted synchronously by the timer subtraction process in step S5 in the main routine shown in FIG. Further, since the value set in the soft timer is slightly larger than the value set in the switching timer, the switching timer times out before the soft timer.

  The CPU 14 that has completed the processing of the task 3 executes display data / display command processing, and sets the value set in the right stop symbol setting register RT to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, that is, the right display symbol storage register. The value of j1, the value of screen number 2 as a display command, the game ball action number 3 designating the movement path of the game ball P indicated by the arrow d on the game board screen (B), and the symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol Is output.

  As a result, on the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display unit 9, the game ball P is moved and displayed along the movement path indicated by the arrow d, and is picked up by the wing piece 50 of the winning device 47 that is opened and displayed. Then, it is guided to the winning opening 52 and wins the opening 48a of the cover 48. At the same time, the right symbol display section 45 at the bottom of the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display section 9 corresponds to the value of the right display symbol storage register j1. The symbol to be displayed is stopped. The middle symbol is displayed in a variable manner. In this case, it is a combination of symbol reach in which the left symbol and the right symbol that are displayed in a stop match, but whether it is a big hit or a missed reach depends on whether the big hit flag is set or not. Identified.

  Note that the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 is still 3, and the soft timer is reset to extend the fluctuation time for the middle symbol. As a result, in the processing of task 2 in the next cycle and thereafter, the soft timer is continuously set. Until the time is up, the creation of symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol is repeated at a predetermined processing cycle.

  As a result of switching the value of the screen processing flag F2 to 5, in the process of task 3 in the next cycle, the CPU 14 determines that the determination process of step c19 is true after the determination of step c1, step c4, and step c10. The process proceeds to step c19 ′ to determine whether or not the display time of the game board screen (B) set in the switching timer has expired (step c19 ′). If the switching timer has not expired, the CPU 14 Then, the task 3 of the current cycle is finished. Thereafter, the CPU 14 repeatedly executes the determination processes of step c1, step c4, step c6, step c10, step c19 and step c19 ′ until the switching timer times out, and when the switching timer expires, step c19 The determination process of ′ is determined to be true, and the process proceeds to step c20 to determine whether or not the big hit flag is set (step c20).

  Hereinafter, in the description after step c20, the case where the big hit is established and the case where the reach is lost are distinguished and explained.

  First, the case where the big hit is established, that is, the case where the big hit flag is set will be described. As described above, since there are six patterns for winning the jackpot, first, on the special zone screen (A), the left, middle and right symbols are all stopped and displayed, The case where the big hit is established by the fact that the middle symbol and the right symbol all match (hereinafter referred to as the case of the big hit establishment pattern 1) will be described.

  In this case, since the big hit is established, the determination result of step c20 is true, and the CPU 14 determines whether or not the value of the hit moving picture setting random number WIN stored in the fixed hit moving picture random number storage register D1 is zero. (Step c21).

  In the case of big hit formation pattern 1, the determination result in step c21 is true. The CPU 14 sets the screen number 3 in the screen number designation register GM to designate the next screen as the special zone screen (A) (step c22), and then the current value (0 to 2) of the game ball motion setting random number X1. Is set in the game ball motion designation register PM (step c23), then the display time of the special zone screen (A) is set in the switching timer (step c23a), and the special zone screen ( The display time of A) is reset to the soft timer (step c23b), and the processing of task 3 ends.

  The value reset in the soft timer and the value set in the switching timer are subtracted synchronously by the timer subtraction process in step S5 in the main routine shown in FIG. In addition, since the value set in the soft timer is equal to the value set in the switching timer, the soft timer and the switching timer will time up synchronously. Since the determination process is performed in preference to the determination process of whether or not the switching timer has timed out, that is, the process of task 2 is performed before the process of task 3, so the soft timer Will be detected first.

  The CPU 14 that has completed the processing of the task 3 executes display data / display command processing, and gives the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1 the value of the screen number 3 as a display command and the game on the special zone screen (A). The current value of the game ball motion setting random number X1 for designating the movement path of the ball P and the symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol are output.

  As a result, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched to the special zone screen (A), and the left, middle, and right symbol display units 43, 44, and 45 are displayed at the bottom of the display screen, and the left and right symbol display units 43 are displayed. 45, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed, and in the middle symbol display section 44, the middle symbol is variably displayed. Further, on the special zone screen (A), the game ball P is moved and displayed along any one of the movement paths indicated by the arrows a, b, and c. In the case of the big hit formation pattern 1, the animation mode of the game ball P is not picked up by the wing piece 50 of the winning device 47 that has been opened and won in the winning opening 52, but the middle symbol is stopped. The combination of the left, right, and middle symbols at the time of display becomes the same symbol and the big hit is established.

  After that, until the extended time until the middle symbol stops, in the process of task 3, the CPU 14 performs step c1, step c4, step based on the value 5 set in the screen processing flag F2. Each determination process of c6, step c10, step c19 and step c19 ′ is repeated.

  When the extended time until the middle symbol stops and the value of the soft timer becomes 0 by the timer subtraction process, as described above, in the process of task 2, the time-up of the soft timer is first performed in the discrimination process of step b32. Is detected, the value of the variation processing flag F1 is set to 4 (step b33), and the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 4 (step b34). In the process of task 3, as a result of the value of the screen processing flag F2 being switched to 4, the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2 is set by the process of step c71, the determination process of step c72 is determined to be true, and then special The flag is set (step c73), and the processing of task 3 ends.

  Next, the CPU 14 executes display data / display command processing, and displays the value of the screen number (in this case, screen number 3) set in the screen number designation register GM and the medium display to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1. The value of the symbol storage register j2 is output.

  As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2 is stopped and displayed on the middle symbol display unit 44 at the bottom of the special zone screen (A) of the liquid crystal display unit 9, and the combination of the left, right and middle symbols is displayed. All become the same symbol and the big hit is established.

  Here, processing related to the special gaming state executed in task 2 when the big hit is established will be described.

  As a result of setting the value of the variation processing flag F1 to 4 and setting the special flag, in the processing of task 2 in the next cycle and thereafter, the CPU 14 performs step b1, step b25, step b25 and step b31 after the determination. The determination process of b35 is determined to be true, and the process proceeds to the determination process of step b36 to determine whether or not the special flag is set (step b36). The determination result becomes true and the player has a special benefit. The special winning opening opening / closing process for giving the is executed (step b37). In step b38, the CPU 14 determines whether or not the big prize opening / closing process is finished. If the big prize opening / closing process is not finished, the process of the current task 2 is finished. It should be noted that the special winning opening / closing process in step b37 is executed after the next period as a result of setting the value of the variation process flag F1 to 4 and setting the special flag. When the end of the big prize opening / closing process is detected in step b38, the CPU 14 initializes the fluctuation process flag F1 by setting it to 0 (step b40), and initializes it by setting the screen process flag F2 to 0 (step c41). The big hit flag is cleared (step b42), the reach flag is cleared (step b43), and the processing of task 2 is terminated.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where a big hit is established (hereinafter referred to as the case of the big hit formation pattern 2) by “the game ball P wins the V winning hole 59 on the four hole winning screen (A)”.

  In the case of the big hit establishment pattern 2, the value of the random number WIN stored in the fixed number animation random number storage register D1 is 1, and the big hit establishment does not occur on the special zone screen (B). After determining that the determination process in step c20 is true, the CPU 14 determines that the determination process in step c21 is false, and proceeds to step c24. The CPU 14 sets the screen number 4 in the screen number designation register GM and designates the next screen as the special zone screen (B) (step c24), and then the ball receiving indicated by the arrow a or the arrow b on the special zone screen (B). The current value (any one of 0 to 1) of the game ball operation setting random number X2 for randomly selecting one of the movement paths of the game balls P winning in the mouth 53 is set as the game ball operation designation register PM. (Step c25), a predetermined time until the display of the special zone screen (B) is ended in the switching timer (step c26), and then a time slightly longer than the predetermined time set in the switching timer Is reset to the soft timer to extend the fluctuation time for the middle symbol (step c27), and the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 6 (step c). 8), and it ends the processing of Task 3.

  Next, the CPU 14 executes display data / display command processing, and with respect to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value of the screen number (in this case, screen number 4) set in the screen number designation register GM, and the game The value of the ball motion setting random number X2 (any one of 0 to 1) and symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol are output.

  Thereby, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched from the game board screen (B) to the special zone screen (B), and the left, middle, and right symbol display units 43, 44, and 45 are displayed at the bottom of the display screen. The left symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display units 43 and 45, and the middle symbol is variably displayed on the middle symbol display unit 44. Furthermore, on the special zone screen (B), the game ball P is moved and displayed along one of the movement paths indicated by the arrows a and b in accordance with the value of the game ball motion setting random number X2. Then, the ball is received at the ball receiving port 53 and is moved and displayed in the special zone 53a.

  In the process of task 2, as a result of the extension time being set in the soft timer by the process of step c27, the symbol variation regarding the middle symbol is subsequently performed.

  As a result of switching the value of the screen processing flag F2 to 6, in the processing of the task 3 in the next period and thereafter, the CPU 14 determines that the determination processing of step c1, step c4, step c6, step c10 and step c19 is false, The determination process of c29 is determined to be true, and it is determined whether or not the display time of the special zone screen (B) set in the switching timer has expired (step c30).

  If the switching timer has not expired, the CPU 14 ends the processing of task 3 in the cycle. When the display time of the special zone screen (B) elapses, the switching timer expires, so that the determination result in step c30 becomes true, and the CPU 30 determines whether or not the big hit flag is set (step c31). It is determined whether or not the value of the hit moving picture random number storage register D1 is 2 (step c32). In the case of big hit formation pattern 2, the determination result of step c32 becomes true, and the process proceeds to step c33.

  The CPU 14 sets the screen number 5 in the screen number designation register GM and designates the next screen as the four-hole winning screen (A) (step c33), and then the V indicated by the arrow b in the four-hole winning screen (A). The game ball operation number 1 for selecting the movement path of the game ball P to win the winning hole 59 is set in the game ball operation designation register PM (step c34), and the game on the four hole winning screen (A) is set in the switching timer. The movement display time of the sphere P is set (step c35), and then the movement display time set in the switching timer is reset in the soft timer to extend the variation time for the middle symbol (step c36). Exit.

  Next, the CPU 14 executes display data / display command processing, and with respect to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value of the screen number (in this case, screen number 5) set in the screen number designation register GM, and the game The value of the ball motion number 1 and the symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol are output.

  As a result, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched from the special zone screen (B) to the four hole winning screen (A), and the left, middle and right symbol display units 43, 44 and 45 are displayed at the bottom of the display screen. Then, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display units 43 and 45, and the middle symbol is variably displayed on the middle symbol display unit 44. Further, on the four-hole winning screen (A), after the game ball P enters the center entrance hole 55 of the ball receiver 54, the movement path indicated by the arrow b according to the value of the game ball operation number 1 is shown. Along the circular groove 61 is displayed in a counterclockwise direction, and a moving image is displayed so as to drop directly into the V winning hole 59.

  Meanwhile, in the process of task 2 during this time, as a result of the extension time being set in the soft timer by the process of step c36, the symbol variation regarding the middle symbol is subsequently performed. In the process of task 3, the CPU 14 performs each determination process from step c1 to step c30 at predetermined intervals according to the value 6 of the screen processing flag F2.

  After that, when the extended time until the middle symbol stops and the soft timer value becomes 0 by the timer subtraction process, 4 is set to the value of the variation processing flag F1 in the task 2 process as described above. (Step b33), the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 4 (step b34).

  In the process of task 3, as a result of the value of the screen processing flag F2 being switched to 4, the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2 is set by the process of step c71, the determination process of step c72 is determined to be true, and then special The flag is set (step c73), and the processing of task 3 ends.

  Next, the CPU 14 executes display data / display command processing, and displays the value of the screen number (screen number 5 in this case) set in the screen number designation register GM and the medium display to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1. The value of the symbol storage register j2 is output.

  As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2 is stopped and displayed in the middle symbol display unit 44 at the bottom of the four hole winning screen (A) of the liquid crystal display unit 9, and the left, right and middle symbols are displayed. All the combinations become the same symbol and the big hit is established.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where a big hit is established (hereinafter referred to as the case of the big hit formation pattern 3) by “the game ball P wins the V winning hole 59 on the four hole winning screen (B)”.

  In the case of the big hit establishment pattern 3, the value of the random number WIN stored in the confirmed random number moving picture random number storage register D1 is 2, and the big hit establishment does not occur on the special zone screen (B). Further, in the case of the big hit formation pattern 3, the processing process from step c20 to step c32 is the same as that in the case of the big hit formation pattern 2 described above, so the description will be omitted.

  In the case of jackpot formation pattern 3, the CPU 14 determines that the determination process of step c32 is false after the display time of the special zone screen (B) has elapsed, determines that the determination process of step c37 is true, Control goes to step c38.

  The CPU 14 sets the screen number 6 in the screen number designation register GM and designates the next screen as the four-hole winning screen (B) (step c38), and then the V indicated by the arrow b in the four-hole winning screen (B). The game ball operation number 1 for selecting the movement path of the game ball P to win the winning port 59 is set in the game ball operation designation register PM (step c39), and the game on the four-hole winning screen (B) is set in the switching timer. The movement display time of the sphere P is set (step c40), and then the movement display time set in the switching timer is reset in the soft timer to extend the variation time for the middle symbol (step c41). Exit.

  Next, the CPU 14 executes display data / display command processing, and with respect to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value of the screen number (in this case, screen number 6) set in the screen number designation register GM, and the game The value of the ball motion number 1 and the symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol are output.

  As a result, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched from the special zone screen (B) to the four hole winning screen (B), and the left, middle and right symbol display units 43, 44 and 45 are displayed at the bottom of the display screen. Then, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display units 43 and 45, and the middle symbol is variably displayed on the middle symbol display unit 44. Further, on the four hole winning screen (B), after the game ball P enters the center entrance hole 55 of the ball receiver 54, the movement path indicated by the arrow b according to the value of the game ball operation number 1 is shown. The circular groove 61 is moved in a counterclockwise direction along the line and is displayed as a moving image so as to fall into the V winning hole 59 after reciprocating in the front of the V winning hole 59.

  Since the subsequent processing is performed by the same algorithm as in the case of the jackpot formation pattern 2, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. However, generally speaking, when an extended time until the middle symbol stops, a special flag is set in the processing of task 3. The symbol corresponding to the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2 is stopped and displayed in the middle symbol display unit 44 at the bottom of the four hole winning screen (B) of the liquid crystal display unit 9, and the left, right and middle symbols are displayed. All the combinations become the same symbol and the big hit is established.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where a big hit is established (hereinafter referred to as the case of the big hit formation pattern 4) by “the game ball P wins the V winning hole 64 on the three hole winning screen (A)”.

  In the case of the big hit formation pattern 4, the value of the random number WIN stored in the video random number storage register D1 per decision is 3, and the big hit establishment is the special zone screen (B), the four hole winning screen (A), and It does not occur on the four-hole winning prize screen (B). Further, in the case of the big hit formation pattern 4, the processing process from step c20 to step c32 is the same as that in the case of the big hit formation pattern 2 described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  In the case of the big hit formation pattern 4, when the display time of the special zone screen (B) has elapsed, the CPU 14 determines that the determination process of step c32 is false, determines that the determination process of step c37 is false, The process proceeds to c42.

  In step c42, selection designation of whether the screen displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9 after the special zone screen (B) is the four-hole winning screen (A) or the four-hole winning screen (B) Is done randomly. That is, the CPU 14 determines whether to specify the four-hole winning screen (A) or the four-hole winning screen (B) based on the current value of the 0 bit of the R register.

  If the 0 bit of the R register is 0, the four hole winning screen (A) is selected and designated. The CPU 14 sets the screen number 5 in the screen number designation register GM and designates the next screen as the four-hole winning screen (A) (step c43), and then the chance indicated by the arrow d in the four-hole winning screen (A). The game ball operation number 3 for selecting the movement path of the game ball P to win in the hole 60 is set in the game ball operation designation register PM (step c44), and the game ball on the four-hole winning screen (A) is set in the switching timer. The movement display time of P is set (step c45), and then the time slightly longer than the movement display time set in the switching timer is reset in the soft timer to extend the fluctuation time for the middle symbol (step c46). The value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 7 (step c51), and the processing of task 3 is ended.

  Next, the CPU 14 executes display data / display command processing, and with respect to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value of the screen number (in this case, screen number 5) set in the screen number designation register GM, and the game The value of the ball action number 3 and the symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol are output.

  As a result, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched from the special zone screen (B) to the four hole winning screen (A), and the left, middle and right symbol display units 43, 44 and 45 are displayed at the bottom of the display screen. Then, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display units 43 and 45, and the middle symbol is variably displayed on the middle symbol display unit 44. Further, on the four-hole winning screen (A), after the game ball P falls into the center drop hole 55 of the ball receiver 54, the movement path indicated by the arrow d in accordance with the value of the game ball action number 3 The circular groove 61 is moved in a counterclockwise direction along the circle, and a moving image is displayed so as to drop directly into the chance hole 60.

  If it is determined in step c42 that the 0 bit of the R register is not 0, the four hole winning screen (B) is selected and designated. The CPU 14 sets the screen number 6 in the screen number designation register GM and designates the next screen as the four hole winning screen (B) (step c47), and then the chance indicated by the arrow d in the four hole winning screen (B). The game ball operation number 3 for selecting the movement path of the game ball P to win the hole 60 is set in the game ball operation designation register PM (step c48), and the game ball on the four-hole winning screen (B) is set in the switching timer. The movement display time of P is set (step c49), and then the time slightly longer than the movement display time set in the switching timer is reset in the soft timer to extend the fluctuation time for the middle symbol (step c50). The value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 7 (step c51), and the processing of task 3 is ended.

  Next, the CPU 14 executes display data / display command processing, and with respect to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value of the screen number (in this case, screen number 6) set in the screen number designation register GM, and the game The value of the ball action number 3 and the symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol are output.

  As a result, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched from the special zone screen (B) to the four hole winning screen (B), and the left, middle and right symbol display units 43, 44 and 45 are displayed at the bottom of the display screen. Then, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display units 43 and 45, and the middle symbol is variably displayed on the middle symbol display unit 44. Further, on the four-hole winning screen (B), after the game ball P falls into the center drop hole 55 of the ball receiver 54, the movement path indicated by the arrow d in accordance with the value of the game ball action number 3 The circular groove 61 is moved in a counterclockwise direction along the line and is displayed as a moving image so as to drop into the chance hole 60 after reciprocating in front of the chance hole 60.

  Meanwhile, in the process of task 2 during this time, as a result of the extension time being set in the soft timer by the process of step c46 or step c49 of task 3, symbol variation data relating to the middle symbol is subsequently created. In the process of task 3, as a result of switching the value of the screen processing flag F2 to 7, the CPU 14 determines that the determination processes of step c1, step c4, step c6, step c10, step c19, and step c29 are all false. If it is determined, the determination process of step c52 is determined to be true, and the process proceeds to step c53 to determine whether or not the switching timer has expired (step c53). If the switching timer has not expired, the process of task 3 is performed. Finish. Thereafter, the CPU 14 repeats the above-described processing from step c1 to step c53 in the task 3 every predetermined period until the switching timer expires.

  When the switching timer expires, the determination result of step c53 becomes true, and the CPU 14 determines that the determination process of whether or not the big hit flag is set is true (step c54), and the determined moving image random number storage register D1. It is determined that the determination process of whether the value of 3 is 3 is true (step c55), and the process proceeds to step c56.

  The CPU 14 sets the screen number 7 in the screen number designation register GM and designates the next screen as the three-hole winning screen (A) (step c56), and then the V indicated by the arrow a in the three-hole winning screen (A). A game ball operation number 0 for designating the movement path of the game ball P to win in the winning hole 64 is set in the game ball operation designation register PM (step c57), and the game on the three-hole winning screen (A) is set in the switching timer. The movement display time of the sphere P is set (step c58), and then the movement display time set in the switching timer is reset in the soft timer to extend the fluctuation time for the middle symbol (step c59). Exit.

  Next, the CPU 14 executes display data / display command processing, and with respect to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value of the screen number (in this case, the screen number 7) set in the screen number designation register GM, and the game The value of the ball action number 0 and the symbol variation data related to the middle symbol are output.

  As a result, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched from the four-hole winning screen (A) or the four-hole winning screen (B) to the three-hole winning screen (A), and at the bottom of the display screen, the left, middle, The right symbol display portions 43, 44 and 45 are displayed, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed on the left and right symbol display portions 43 and 45, and the middle symbol is variably displayed on the middle symbol display portion 44. Further, on the three hole winning screen (A), the game ball P rolls on the ball tilt guide path 63 from the upper part of the ball tilt guide path 63, enters the recess 62, and watches along the periphery of the recess 62. After moving around three times in the direction, a moving image is displayed so as to drop directly into the V winning hole 64 through the moving path indicated by the arrow a.

  Meanwhile, in the process of task 2 during this time, as a result of the extension time being set in the soft timer by the process of step c59 of task 3, the symbol variation regarding the middle symbol is subsequently performed. In the process of task 3, as a result of the value of the screen processing flag F2 remaining at 7, the CPU 14 determines that the determination processes of step c1, step c4, step c6, step c10, step c19 and step c29 are all false. If it is determined, the determination process of step c52 is determined to be true, and the process proceeds to step c53 to determine whether or not the switching timer has expired (step c53). If the switching timer has not expired, the process of task 3 is performed. Finish. Thereafter, the CPU 14 repeats the above-described processing from step c1 to step c53 in the task 3 every predetermined period until the switching timer expires.

A video is displayed to enter.

  Then, on each of the three hole winning screens of the liquid crystal display unit 9, the display of the moving image of the game ball P is completed, and at the same time, the soft timer is timed up, and the value of the variation processing flag F1 is switched to 4 in the task 2 process. In the processing of task 3, the processing of step c70 to step c72 is executed, and the symbol corresponding to the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2 is displayed in the middle symbol display portion 44 at the bottom of each three-hole winning screen of the liquid crystal display portion 9. Is stopped, and the left and right symbols are the same, and the middle-design is different from the left and right symbols. In the above, the process in the case of reaching failure has been described.

  As explained above, in the process where the symbols are stopped in the order of the left symbol, the right symbol, and the middle symbol after the symbol change is started and it is visually confirmed whether it is a big hit or not, from the player side, Each of the display screens displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9 and the moving image mode of the game ball P displayed as a moving image on each display screen are visually recognized as a story relating to whether the game is a big hit or missed.

  With the start of symbol change, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched from the game board screen (A) to the game board screen (B), and the left symbol is stopped on the game board screen (B). When the game ball P is entered into the open chucker 51, a moving image is displayed so that the wing piece 50 of the winning device 47 is opened, and the winning opening 52 is opened. Next, the game ball P is displayed again as a moving image, and at the same time as the moving image display of the game ball P ends, the right symbol is stopped. At this time, if the game ball P does not win the winning opening 52, the left symbol and the right symbol do not coincide with each other, and the game is lost. When the game ball P wins the winning hole 52, the game ball P enters the mouth 48a of the hippo 48, and at the same time, the left and right symbols become the same symbol reach, and the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is the special zone screen (A) or ( Switch to B).

  From the player side, the special zone screen (A) and the special zone screen (B) are exactly the same in appearance, so it is not clear which screen is selected and displayed. When the game ball P is displayed as a moving image on the special zone screen, and the game ball P displayed as a moving image does not win the ball receiving slot 53, it is almost always out of play, but it may be a big hit. Is stopped simultaneously with the end of the video display of the game ball P.

  In the special zone screen, when the game ball P displayed as a movie wins the ball socket 53, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched to the four-hole winning screen (A) or (B) and the middle symbol is displayed. The variable display is continued. From the player's side, the four-hole winning screen (A) and the four-hole winning screen (B) are exactly the same in appearance, so it is not clear which screen is selected and displayed.

  In the embodiment, when the game ball P wins the ball receiving hole 53 on the special zone screen, the description has been made with one game ball P. However, two or more game balls P are won in the ball receiving opening 53. When the screen is switched to the four-hole winning screen after that, as shown in the four-hole winning screen (C) of FIG. 39, the second game ball P is placed in the standby state on the ball receiver 54 in the moving state. It may be displayed.

  Further, in the above description, the portion that is controlled by the moving image is only the game ball P. However, the circular spherical convex member 56 displayed on the above-described four-hole winning screen is the center point of the spherical convex member 56. The moving image may be displayed so as to rotate about the passing vertical axis. In this case, the rotational speed may be switched and displayed step by step according to the values of a plurality of flags and registers. As described above, when the moving image control is performed in combination with a plurality of types of parameters, the moving image switching mode can be further set in detail.

  Therefore, it is possible to give special profits based on the result of switching videos that have been branched in detail, to increase the expectation for special profits, and to provide a new taste with a symbol display device Can be given to pachinko machines.

  On the four-hole winning screen, the game ball P is displayed as a moving image, and when the game ball P displayed as a moving image falls into the detaching hole 57 or the detaching hole 58, the middle symbol is simultaneously stopped and released. On the four-hole winning screen, when the game ball P displayed as a moving image falls into the V winning hole 59, the middle symbol is stopped at the same time, and the left, right, and middle symbols all coincide with each other to win a big hit.

  When the game ball P displayed as a moving image falls into the chance hole 60 on the four hole winning screen, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is changed to the three hole winning screen (A), (B), (C) and (D ) And the middle symbols are continuously displayed. From the player side, the three hole winning screens (A), (B), (C), and (D) are completely the same in appearance, so it is not clear which screen is selected and displayed.

  On the three hole winning screen, the game ball P is displayed as a moving image, and at the same time as the moving image display of the game ball P ends, the middle symbol is stopped. At this time, when the game ball P displayed as a moving image falls into the left off hole 65 or the right out hole 66, the middle symbol does not coincide with the left and right symbols, and the game ball P is detached. Further, when the game ball P displayed as a moving image falls into the V winning hole 64, the left, right, and middle symbols all coincide with each other to win a big hit.

  In addition, the determination of whether or not it is a big hit with respect to the change stop of the symbol is determined by the value of the random number V for the big hit determination. The story up to the jackpot display is set by the value of the random number WIN for use. In addition, in the case of detachment, in particular, in the case of detachment by symbol reach, the story until the detachment by symbol reach is set is set by the value of the random number OUT for reach out animation setting.

In the case of the embodiment, each story set at the time of big hit and the appearance probability of each story set at the time of loss are relative to the value of the random number WIN for setting the hit video and the value of the random number OUT for reaching video Since the relationship between the set jackpot story and the off story is one-to-one correspondence, each story is equal, but the range of the hit movie setting random number WIN value and the reach out movie setting random number OUT value can be taken. It is conceivable that the appearance probability of each story is arbitrarily set by extending the, and making it correspond to a specific story when the value of the random number is within a specific range.
