This decorative symbol game displays a moving image on the decorative symbol display 34 based on the reproduction of video data, outputs game sounds according to the display contents of the moving image from both speakers 14, and turns on the plurality of illumination LEDs 17 It is composed by emitting light according to the display content of the moving image surface, and the outline of the decorative design game is as follows.

  On the decorative symbol display 34, any one of the symbol symbols “1” to “8” is displayed in a stationary state as a symbol element in the left column, a symbol element in the middle column, and a symbol element in the right column of the decorative symbol. The three rows of symbol elements start to fluctuate in synchronization with the start of fluctuation of the special symbol. The variation (variable) of the decorative symbols means that the symbol elements in each column change while moving. The movement direction of the symbol elements in each column is set from top to bottom, and the symbol elements in each column are changed. The change order is set in a loop of “one” → “two” → “three” ... → “seven” → “eight” → “one”.

The decorative elements in the three rows of decorative symbols are (1) left row, (2) right row, (3) variable stop in the order of the middle row (variable stop), the player is in the three rows of variable stop state Big hits and misses are reported by the combination of. In the reach state where the symbol elements in the left column of the decorative symbol and the symbol elements in the right column are stopped at the same number, the reach action screen is displayed on the decorative symbol display 34, and the symbol elements in the final middle column are the left column and the right column. It is implied according to the progress of the reach action screen whether or not the change is stopped with the same number of target symbols. In other words, in addition to notifying the jackpot and misses themselves, the decorative symbol game is intended to give the player a mood change such as a feeling of pounding and harassment based on visualizing the special symbol game. Is.
3-5. Reach Select Function In the decorative design game, as shown in FIG. 28 (a), two “shoji” symbols 111 are displayed on the decorative design display 34, as shown in FIG. 28 (b). When the two “shoji” designs 111 are displayed in an enlarged manner, as shown in FIG. 28C, the two “shoji” designs 111 are opened, so that the “wind” design 112 is displayed. Is displayed. When the message “Push a button to select a favorite pattern” is displayed at the top of the “Wind” pattern 112, the message pattern 113 is erased as shown in FIG. After that, reach select production begins. In this reach select production, as shown in FIGS. 28E to 28J, the pattern 114 of the Chinese numeral “1”, the pattern 115 of the Chinese numeral “three”, and the pattern 116 of the Chinese numeral “seven” are intermittent. , The pattern 114 of the Chinese numeral “one”, the pattern 115 of the Chinese numeral “three”, and the pattern 116 of the Chinese numeral “seven” are displayed in the selection area 122 in order. It is displayed stationary for the same set time (1 sec). Note that the picture pattern 113 of the message corresponds to the notification picture, and the picture 114 of the Chinese numeral “I” to the picture 116 of the Chinese numeral “Seven” corresponds to the reach picture.

When the select switch 75 is operated at the timing when the picture 114 of the Chinese numeral “1” is enlarged and displayed in the selection area 122, a reach is generated with the Chinese numeral “1”, and a bath effect is generated as a reach action. When the select switch 75 is operated at the timing when the pattern 115 of the Chinese numeral “three” is enlarged and displayed in the select area 122, a reach is generated with the Chinese numeral “three”, and a marriage effect is generated as a reach action. When the select switch 75 is operated at the timing when the picture 116 of the Chinese numeral “seven” is enlarged and displayed in the select area 122, a reach is generated with the Chinese numeral “seven”, and a normal effect is generated as a reach action. In other words, the reach select effect is such that the player selects the reach state by operating the select switch 75 and generates a unique reach action corresponding to the reach state.
4). Internal processing of main control circuit 50 4-1. Main Processing When the power is turned on, the CPU 51 of the main control circuit 50 initializes all data in the RAM 53 in the power-on processing in step S1 of FIG. 4, and determines the setting state of the timer interrupt flag in step S2. This timer interrupt flag is turned on in the timer interrupt process based on the CPU 51 receiving a pulse signal from the timer circuit 55. When the CPU 51 detects that the timer interrupt flag is turned on in step S2, step S3 is performed. And the timer interrupt flag is turned off.

When the CPU 51 turns off the timer interrupt flag in step S3, the CPU 51 sequentially executes the input process in step S4 to the data acquisition process in step S6. When the data acquisition process in step S6 is completed, the big hit determination process in step S7 to the big hit game process in step S11 are executed alternatively based on the set state of the main control flag, and the timer interrupt flag is turned on in step S2. The process proceeds to step S3 based on newly detecting. The main control flag is initially set to the big hit determination process in the power-on process in step S1.
4-2. Input Process When the CPU 51 proceeds to the input process of step S4 in FIG. 4, it determines the output state of the special symbol start signal from the input circuit 54 in step S21 of FIG. If it is detected that there is no special symbol start signal, the start signal flag is turned off in step S22. If it is detected that there is a special symbol start signal, the start signal flag is turned on in step S23. That is, when the game ball wins in the special symbol start port 24, a special symbol start signal is output from the input circuit 54, and the start signal flag is turned on.
4-3. Counter Update Processing When the CPU 51 proceeds to the counter update processing in step S5 in FIG. 4, “1” is added to the current measurement values of the random counters R1 to R3. These random counters R1 to R3 are added from a common initial value “0” to a different upper limit value and then cyclically added back to the initial value “0”. The addition contents of the random counters R1 to R3 are as follows: It is as follows.
(1) The random counter R1 corresponds to a random value for selecting a variation pattern, and is added cyclically by returning to the initial value “0” after being added from the initial value “0” to the upper limit value “100”. The
(2) The random counter R2 corresponds to a random value that assigns the determination result to complete detachment and detachment reach at the time of determination of detachment, and is added to the upper limit value “49” from the initial value “0” and then the initial value “ It returns to 0 and is added cyclically.
(3) The random counter R3 corresponds to a random number value for drawing whether or not a big hit has occurred. The random counter R3 is added to the upper limit value “248” from the initial value “0” and then returned to the initial value “0” to cycle. Is added to
4-4. Data Acquisition Process When the CPU 51 finishes the counter update process in step S5 in FIG. 4, the CPU 51 proceeds to the data acquisition process in step S6, and determines the setting state of the start signal flag in step S31 in FIG. Here, when it is detected that the start signal flag is turned on, the process proceeds to step S 32, and the measured value of the counter N 1 is compared with the upper limit value MAX (4) recorded in the ROM 52. The counter N1 measures the number of special symbol games held. When the CPU 51 determines “N1 <MAX” in step S32, it determines that the number of special symbol games held has not reached the upper limit. And it transfers to step S33 and acquires the present measured value of random counter R1-R3.

  In the RAM 53 of the main control circuit 50, four reserved data areas E1 to E4 are set as shown in FIG. The order of use “1” to “4” is assigned to these four reserved data areas E1 to E4, and the CPU 51 of the main control circuit 50 acquires the measured values of the random counters R1 to R3 in step S33 of FIG. Then, in step S34, the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the area with the smallest usage order among the unused reserved data areas. For example, when the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in both the reserved data area E1 in the usage order “1” and the reserved data area E2 in the usage order “2”, the reserved data in the blank space having the minimum usage order “3” is stored. The area E3 stores the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R3. That is, the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the reserved data areas E1 to E4 in the order of acquisition, and the usage orders 1 to 3 correspond to information indicating the acquisition order.

When the CPU 51 stores the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R3 in step S34 in FIG. 6, the number of special symbol games held is updated based on adding “1” to the counter N1 in step S35.
4-5. Big hit determination process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set in the big hit determination process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the big hit determination process in step S7, and in step S41 in FIG. It is determined whether or not random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the reserved data area E1. If it is detected that the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the hold data area E1, the acquisition result of the random counter R3 is detected from the hold data area E1 in step S42, and the detection result of the random counter R3 is set to the jackpot value “ 7 ”. The jackpot value “7” is recorded in the ROM 52 of the main control circuit 50. When the CPU 51 detects that the detection result of the random counter R3 is the same as the jackpot value “7”, it determines that the jackpot value is a big hit. In S43, the big hit flag is turned on. Further, when it is detected in step S42 that the detection result of the random counter R3 is different from the big hit value “7”, it is determined to be out, and the big hit flag is turned off in step S44. That is, the big hit is determined with a fixed probability of “1/249”.

  When the CPU 51 proceeds to step S45, it determines the set state of the big hit flag. If it is determined that the big hit flag is turned on, the process proceeds to step S46, and the special symbol “7” is set. If it is determined in step S45 that the big hit flag has been turned off, the process proceeds to step S47, and a special symbol “-” is set. That is, the special symbol “7” is set when the big hit is determined, and the special symbol “−” is set when the loss is determined.

  When the special symbol “-” is set in step S47, the CPU 51 detects the acquisition result of the random counter R2 from the reserved data area E1 in step S48, and compares it with the ten outreach values “0-9”. These outlier reach values are recorded in the ROM 52 of the main control circuit 50. When the CPU 51 determines in step S48 that the detection result of the random counter R2 is the same as one of the ten outlier reach values, the outlier reach value is obtained. In step S49, the release reach flag is turned on. If it is determined in step S48 that the detection result of the random counter R2 is different from any of the 10 outreach values, it is determined that it is completely out, and the outreach flag is turned off in step S50.

When proceeding to step S51, the CPU 51 sets a winning command as shown in the following (1) to (3). In step S52, the winning command setting result is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70, and in step S53, the variation pattern setting process is set in the main control flag.
(1) When the big hit flag is turned on, the winning command “big hit” is set.
(2) When the big hit flag is off and the outreach flag is on, the winning command “outreach reach” is set.
(3) When both the big hit flag and the miss reach flag are off, the winning command “completely miss” is set.
4-6. Fluctuation Pattern Setting Process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set in the fluctuation pattern setting process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the fluctuation pattern setting process in step S8, and in step S61 in FIG. To determine the setting state of the big hit flag. When it is determined that the big hit flag is turned on, it is determined that the big hit is determined in the previous big hit determination process, and the process proceeds to step S62.

  In the ROM 52 of the main control circuit 50, a variation pattern table for big hits and a variation pattern table for outreach are recorded. Each of these variation pattern tables shows the correlation between the random counter R1, the variation pattern, and the variation display time. When the CPU 51 proceeds to step S62, the CPU 51 selects a variation pattern table for big hit from the ROM 52, and proceeds to step S63. . Here, the acquisition result of the random counter R1 is detected from the reserved data area E1, and the variation pattern for big hit corresponding to the detection result of the random counter R1 is selected from the variation pattern table for big hit. FIG. 10 shows the recorded contents of the big hit variation pattern table. In the big hit variation pattern table, variation patterns P1 to P4 are set.

  When the CPU 51 selects the big hit variation pattern in step S63 in FIG. 9, the CPU 51 selects the variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern selection result from the big hit variation pattern table in FIG. 10 in step S64. For example, when the detection result of the random counter R1 is “90”, the variation pattern “P4” is selected, and when the variation pattern selection result is “P4”, the variation display time “28 sec” is selected. The fluctuation patterns P1 to P4 correspond to variable information, and the fluctuation pattern P4 corresponds to first variable information.

  When the CPU 51 determines that the big hit flag is turned off in step S61 of FIG. 9, the CPU 51 determines that a loss reach or complete loss has been determined in the previous big hit determination process. In this case, the process proceeds from step S61 to step S65, and the setting state of the detach reach flag is determined. When it is determined that the outreach flag is turned on, it is determined that the outreach has been determined in the previous jackpot determination process, and a variation pattern table for outreach is selected from the ROM 52 in step S66. In step S67, the acquisition result of the random counter R1 is detected from the reserved data area E1, and the fluctuation pattern for outreach according to the detection result of the random counter R1 is selected from the fluctuation pattern table for outreach.

  FIG. 11 shows the recording contents of the variation pattern table for outreach, and variation patterns P5 to P8 are set in the variation pattern table for outreach. Of these, the variation pattern P5 to P7 for outreach is to generate the same system image with the same development as the variation patterns P1 to P3 for jackpot, and the CPU 51 performs the outreach for step S67 in FIG. When the variation pattern is selected, in step S68, the variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern selection result is selected from the variation pattern table for outlier reach in FIG. For example, when the detection result of the random counter R1 is “10”, the variation pattern “P5” is selected, and when the variation pattern selection result is “P5”, the variation display time “24 sec” is selected. Note that the fluctuation patterns P5 to P8 correspond to variable information, and the fluctuation pattern P8 corresponds to first variable information.

  When the CPU 51 determines in step S65 in FIG. 9 that the release reach flag has been turned off, the CPU 51 determines that a complete release has been determined in the previous jackpot determination process. In step S69, the fluctuation pattern P9 is selected. In step S70, the fluctuation display time “3 sec” corresponding to the fluctuation pattern P9 is selected. Note that the fluctuation pattern P9 corresponds to variable information.

When the CPU 51 selects the variation pattern and the variation display time, the variation pattern command is set to the variation pattern command in step S71 of FIG. And the setting result of a fluctuation pattern command is transmitted to the production | presentation control circuit 70, and it transfers to step S72. Here, the selection result of the fluctuation table time is set in the timer T1, and in step S73, a special symbol fluctuation start process is set in the main control flag. In other words, the effect control circuit 70 is transmitted with the selection result of the variation pattern in addition to the determination result of the big hit, the loss reach, and the complete loss.
4-7. Special symbol variation start process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set in the special symbol variation start process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the special symbol variation start process in step S9. In step S81, a special symbol variation start signal is output to the LED circuit 57. Then, the LED circuit 57 starts the special symbol variation display based on detecting the special symbol variation start signal.

When the CPU 51 outputs a special symbol variation start signal in step S81, the CPU 51 transmits a decorative symbol variation start command to the effect control circuit 70 in step S82. And it transfers to step S83 and sets a special symbol fluctuation | variation stop process to a main control flag. This decoration symbol variation start command is equivalent to a decoration symbol game start command, and the production control circuit 70 starts the visual production of the decoration symbol game based on receiving the decoration symbol variation start command. The design control circuit 80 is instructed, the sound control circuit 90 is instructed to start the sound design of the decorative design game, and the design control circuit 100 is instructed to start the electrical design of the design design game. To do.
4-8. Special Symbol Fluctuation Stop Process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set to the special symbol fluctuation stop process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process at step S6 in FIG. 4 to the special symbol fluctuation stop process at step S10. In step S91, the remaining time of the special symbol game and the remaining time of the decorative symbol game are updated based on subtracting the set value ΔT1 from the current measured value of the timer T1. Then, the process proceeds to step S92, and the subtraction result of the timer T1 is compared with “0”.

  When the CPU 51 detects that the subtraction result of the timer T1 is “0” in step S92, it determines the end of the special symbol game and the decorative symbol game, and outputs a special symbol fluctuation stop signal to the LED circuit 57 in step S93. This special symbol fluctuation stop signal instructs to stop the special symbol fluctuation display according to the selection result of the jackpot determination process, and the LED circuit 57 changes the special symbol fluctuation based on the provision of the special symbol fluctuation stop signal. The display stops at either of the selection results “7” and “−”.

  When the CPU 51 outputs a special symbol variation stop signal to the LED circuit 57 in step S93, the CPU 51 transmits a decorative symbol variation stop command to the effect control circuit 70 in step S94. This decoration symbol variation stop command corresponds to a stop command of the decoration symbol game, and the effect control circuit 70 stops the visual effect of the decoration symbol game based on detecting the decoration symbol variation stop command. Instruct the symbol control circuit 80 to instruct the sound control circuit 90 to stop the sound effect of the decorative symbol game, and instruct the electrical control circuit 100 to stop the electrical effect of the decorative symbol game. To do.

  When the CPU 51 transmits the decorative symbol variation stop command in step S94, the CPU 51 determines the set state of the big hit flag in step S95. Here, when it is detected that the big hit flag is off, a big hit determination process is set in the main control flag in step S96, and when a big hit flag is detected, the big hit game process is set in the main control flag in step S97.

When proceeding to step S98, the CPU 51 subtracts the number of times the special symbol game is held based on subtracting “1” from the counter N1. Then, the process proceeds to step S99, and the reserved data area of the RAM 53 is organized. In this process, the random counters R1 to R3 in the reserved data area E1 are erased, and when the random counters R1 to R3 are stored after the holding data area E2 is included, the random counters R1 to R3 are used one order before. For example, when the random counters R1 to R3 are stored in the hold data area E1, the hold data area E2, and the hold data area E3, the random counters R1 to R3 of the hold data area E1 are deleted. The random counters R1 to R3 of the reserved data area E2 are moved to the previous reserved data area E1, and the random counters R1 to R3 of the reserved data area E3 are moved to the previous reserved data area E2.
4-9. Big hit game process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set to the big hit game process, the CPU 51 shifts from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the big hit game process in step S11. This jackpot game process is executed for 15 jackpot rounds. At the start of the jackpot game process, a jackpot round start command is transmitted from the CPU 51 to the effect control circuit 70, and at the end of the jackpot game process, a jackpot round stop command is transmitted. Is done.
5. Internal processing of effect control circuit 70 5-1. Main Processing When the power is turned on, the CPU 71 of the effect control circuit 70 initializes all data in the RAM 73 in the power-on processing in step S201 in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S202, and the setting state of the timer interrupt flag is determined. The timer interrupt flag is turned on in the timer interrupt process based on the CPU 71 receiving the pulse signal from the timer circuit 74. When the CPU 71 detects that the timer interrupt flag is turned off in step S202, the CPU 71 executes step S203. If the timer interrupt flag is detected to be on in step S202, the process proceeds to step S204. In step S204, the timer interrupt flag is turned off, and the counter update process in step S205 to the command process in step S206 are executed in order.
5-2. INT Interrupt Processing When the CPU 71 of the effect control circuit 70 detects the strobe signal (INT signal) from the main control circuit 50, it starts the INT interrupt processing. The strobe signal is transmitted together with the command by the main control circuit 50. When the CPU 71 starts the INT interrupt processing, the CPU 71 receives the command in step S301 in FIG. 15, and records the command reception result in the RAM 73 in step S302. . Then, the process proceeds to step S303, and the command processing flag is set according to the type of command. This command processing flag is initially set in the command waiting process, and FIG. 16 shows the relationship between the type of command transmitted from the main control circuit 50 and the setting contents of the command processing flag.
5-3. Counter Update Processing When the CPU 71 proceeds to step S203 in FIG. 14, the CPU 71 adds “1” to the current measurement value of the random counter R11 in step S211 in FIG. This random counter R11 selects a symbol element in the left column of the decorative symbol, a symbol element in the middle column, and a symbol element in the right column from the symbol element group “1-8”, and is composed of a three-digit counter. Has been. As shown in FIG. 18, the first digit of the random counter R11 is added from “0” to “7”, then returned to “0” and cyclically added, and the second digit is “1”. “1” is added every time the carry is added from “7” to “0”, and the second digit is added by “1” every time the carry is added from “7” to “0”. The

  When the CPU 71 updates the random counter R11 in step S211 of FIG. 17, the first digit and the third digit of the update result of the random counter R11 are compared in step S212. If it is detected that the two are different, the process proceeds to step S213, and the update result of the random counter R11 is stored in the completely out of symbol area of the RAM 73. That is, as shown in FIG. 18, the complete out symbol area stores basic data of complete out symbols that are different in the left and right columns. The stored data in the complete out symbol area is stored in the next step S213. Updated.

When the CPU 71 detects that the first digit and the third digit of the random counter R11 are the same in step S212 of FIG. 17, the CPU 71 compares the first digit and the second digit of the random counter R11 in step S214. If it is detected that the two are different from each other, the process proceeds to step S215, and the update result of the random counter R11 is stored in the outreach symbol area of the RAM 73. That is, as shown in FIG. 18, the outreach symbol area stores basic data of outreach symbols that have the same left column and right column but different middle columns. It is updated in the next step S215.
5-3. Counter Update Processing When the CPU 71 proceeds to the counter update processing in step S205 of FIG. 14, “1” is added to the current measurement values of the random counters R12 to R13. These random counters R12 to R13 are added from a common initial value “0” to a different upper limit value and then cyclically added back to the initial value “0”. The addition contents of the random counters R12 to R13 are as follows: It is as follows.
(1) The random counter R12 corresponds to a random number value for drawing lottery symbols. The random counter R12 is added from the initial value “0” to the upper limit value “7”, then returned to the initial value “0” and added cyclically.
(2) The random counter R13 corresponds to a random value for drawing the effect pattern command. The random counter R13 is added from the initial value “0” to the upper limit value “200”, then returned to the initial value “0” and added cyclically.
5-4. Command processing When the CPU 71 proceeds to the command processing in step S206 in FIG. 14, the command waiting processing in step S401 in FIG. 19 to the big hit round stop command processing in step S407 are alternatively performed based on the setting state of the command processing flag.
5-4-1. Command Waiting Processing When the CPU 71 detects that the command processing flag is set in the command waiting processing, the CPU 71 returns to step S202 in FIG. 14 through the command waiting processing in step S401 in FIG. This command waiting process is a process of waiting for a command from the main control circuit 50, and no substantial processing operation is performed.
5-4-2. Winning Command Processing When the CPU 71 detects that the command processing flag is set to the winning command processing, the CPU 71 detects a winning command from the RAM 73 in step S221 of FIG. If it is determined that the detection result of the winning command is a big hit, the process proceeds to step S222, and the current measured value of the random counter R12 is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to step S223, where “1” is added to the acquisition result of the random counter R12, and each column of the decorative symbols is set as the addition result of the random counter R12. For example, when the acquisition result of the random counter R12 is “6”, “1” is added to “6”, and the decorative symbol is set to the big hit symbol “777”, which is a combination of big hits.

  If the CPU 71 determines in step S221 that the detection result of the winning command is out of reach, the CPU 71 detects the update result of the random counter R11 from the out of reach symbol area of the RAM 73 in step S224. Then, the process proceeds to step S225, and the decorative design is set based on adding “1” to each digit of the first to third digits of the random counter R11. For example, when the storage result of the random counter R11 is “010”, “1” is added to the number in each column, and the decorative symbol is set to the outreach symbol “one and one” which is a combination of outreach.

  When the CPU 71 determines that the detection result of the winning command is completely out in step S221, the CPU 71 detects the update result of the random counter R11 from the complete out symbol area of the RAM 73 in step S226. Then, the process proceeds to step S227, and a decorative design is set based on adding “1” to each digit of the first to third digits of the random counter R11. For example, when the storage result of the random counter R11 is “001”, “1” is added to the numbers in each column, and the decoration symbol is set to a completely unsymbolized symbol “11”, which is a combination of completely unsuccessful symbols.

When the CPU 71 sets the decorative symbol, the CPU 71 transmits the decorative symbol setting result to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S228. Then, the process proceeds to step S229, and command waiting processing is set in the command processing flag. When the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 receives the decorative symbol setting result from the effect control circuit 70, it transmits it to the VDP 84.
5-4-3. Fluctuation Pattern Command Processing When the CPU 71 detects that the command processing flag is set in the variation pattern command processing, the CPU 71 detects the reception result of the variation pattern command from the RAM 73 in step S231 in FIG. In step S232, the current measurement value of the random counter R13 is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S233.

  An effect table is recorded in the ROM 72 of the effect control circuit 70. As shown in FIG. 22, this effect table shows the correlation among the fluctuation pattern commands P1 to P9, the random counter R13, and the effect pattern commands P1-1 to P9-1. Two kinds of effect pattern commands are set as options for the variation pattern commands P5 to P7 for P3 and the outreach reach, and the remaining variation pattern command P4 for the big hit and the remaining variation pattern command P8 for the outreach and for the complete outage In the variation pattern command P9, one type of effect pattern command is set as an option.

  When the CPU 71 proceeds to step S233 in FIG. 21, the effect pattern command corresponding to the detection result of the variation pattern command and the acquisition result of the random counter R13 is selected from the effect table in FIG. For example, when “P4” is detected as the variation pattern command and “10” is acquired as the random counter R13, the effect pattern command P4-1 is selected. When “P8” is detected as the variation pattern command and “50” is acquired as the random counter R13, the effect pattern command P8-1 is selected.

  When the CPU 71 selects an effect pattern command in step S233 of FIG. 21, the selection result of the effect pattern command is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80, the sound control circuit 90, and the illumination control circuit 100 in step S234. Then, the process proceeds to step S235, and the command processing flag is set to command waiting processing. A plurality of sound data is recorded in the ROM 92 of the sound control circuit 90.

5-4-4. Decoration symbol variation start command processing When the CPU 71 detects that the command processing flag is set in the decoration symbol variation start command processing, the CPU 71 proceeds to the decoration symbol variation start command processing in step S404 in FIG. 19, and in step S241 in FIG. The setting state of the select effect flag is determined. The select effect flag is turned off in the power-on process in step S201 in FIG. 14, and the CPU 71 proceeds to step S242 when it is determined in step S241 in FIG. 25 that the select effect flag is turned off.

  In step S <b> 242, the CPU 71 transmits a start command to the symbol control circuit 80, the sound control circuit 90, and the illumination control circuit 100. When the CPU 91 of the sound control circuit 90 receives the start command from the effect control circuit 70, the game sound corresponding to the sound data selection result is output from the speaker 14 based on the reproduction of the sound data in the RAM 93. When receiving the start command from the effect control circuit 70, the CPU 101 of the illumination control circuit 100 causes the illumination LED 17 to emit light in a pattern according to the selection result of the illumination data based on reproducing the illumination data in the RAM 103. When receiving the start command from the effect control circuit 70, the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 transmits the start command to the VDP 84.

Then, a video in which the middle row and the right row fluctuate (variable) and a video in which the fluctuation stops (variable stop) are generated.

  When the CPU 71 transmits a start command in step S242, the selection result of the effect pattern command is compared with “P4-1” and “P8-1” for reach select effects in step S243. If it is determined that the selection result of the effect pattern command is different from both “P4-1” and “P8-1”, the process proceeds to step S244, and the command processing flag is set to the command waiting process. If it is determined in step S243 that the effect pattern command selection result is the same as either “P4-1” or “P8-1”, the process proceeds to step S245, and the selection time (8 sec) is set in the timer T11. To do. This selection time is recorded in the ROM 72 of the effect control circuit 70, and is set to the same value as the reproduction time of the video data V4-1 and V8-1.

  When the CPU 71 sets the select time (8 sec) in the timer T11 in step S245, the CPU 71 turns on the select effect flag in step S246. That is, the select effect flag is turned on when one of the effect pattern commands P4-1 and P8-1 for reach select effect is selected.

  When the select effect flag is on, the CPU 71 proceeds from step S241 to step S247, and updates the remaining select time based on subtracting the set value ΔT11 from the timer T11. Then, the process proceeds to step S248, and the subtraction result of the timer T11 is compared with the effect start value (6.00 sec). This effect start value (6.00 sec) is recorded in the ROM 72 of the effect control circuit 70, and the reach select effect is started in the playback video of the video data V4-1 and the playback video of the video data V8-1. This corresponds to the measured value of the timer T11.

  When CPU 71 determines “T11 <effect start value (6.00 sec)” in step S248, CPU 71 compares the measured value of timer T11 with “0” in step S249. Here, when “T11> 0” is determined, the process proceeds to step S250, and the setting state of the reach select flag is determined. The reach select flag is turned off in the power-on process in step S201 in FIG. 14. When the CPU 71 determines that the reach select flag is turned off in step S250 in FIG. 25, the process proceeds to step S251. Here, the operation state of the select switch 75 is determined, and when it is determined that the select switch 75 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S252.

  Reach select command data is recorded in the ROM 72 of the effect control circuit 70.
