If it is determined that there is no special symbol start signal, the start signal flag is turned off in step S22. If it is determined 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 output circuit 54, and the start signal flag is turned on.

4-4. Data Acquisition Processing FIG. 7 shows details of the data acquisition processing in step S6 of FIG. 4, and the CPU 51 determines the setting state of the start signal flag in step S31 of FIG. For example, when a game ball wins in the special symbol start port 24, the start signal flag is turned on in the switch input process of FIG. In this case, the CPU 51 determines that the start signal flag is turned on in step S31 of FIG. 7, and acquires measured values of the random counters R1 to R4 in step S32.

  In the RAM 53 of the main control circuit 50, the reserved data area 1 to the reserved data area 4 are set as shown in FIG. The reserved data area 1 to the reserved data area 4 store the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R4. When the CPU 51 proceeds to step S33 in FIG. It is determined whether or not R4 is stored. Here, when it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are not stored in the hold data area 1, the process proceeds to step S34, and the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R4 are recorded in the hold data area 1.

  When the CPU 51 determines that the random counters R1 to R4 are stored in the reserved data area 1 in step S33, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the random counters R1 to R4 are stored in the reserved data area 2 in step S35. When it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are not stored in the reserved data area 2, the process proceeds to step S36, and the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R4 are recorded in the reserved data area 2.

  When the CPU 51 determines that the random counters R1 to R4 are stored in the reserved data area 2 in step S35, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the random counters R1 to R4 are stored in the reserved data area 3 in step S37. When it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are not stored in the reserved data area 3, the process proceeds to step S38, and the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R4 are recorded in the reserved data area 3.

When the CPU 51 determines that the random counters R1 to R4 are stored in the reserved data area 3 in step S37, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the random counters R1 to R4 are stored in the reserved data area 4 in step S39. If it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are not stored in the hold data area 4, the process proceeds to step S40, and the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R4 are recorded in the hold data area 4. That is, the upper limit value “4 sets” is set for the number of stored random counters R1 to R4, and the game balls are placed in the special symbol start port 24 in a state where the upper limit set of random counters R1 to R4 are stored in the RAM 53. When winning a prize, the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R4 are cleared in step S41, and the winning of the game ball in the special symbol starting port 24 is invalidated.
4-5. Big hit determination process When the CPU 51 determines that the main control flag is set to 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. FIG. 9 shows details of the big hit determination process in step S7, and the CPU 51 determines whether or not the random counters R1 to R4 are stored in the reserved data area 1 in step S51 of FIG. When it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are stored in the reserved data area 1, the process proceeds to step S52, and the setting state of the probability variation flag is determined. The probability variation flag indicates the current setting state of the probability variation mode, and the CPU 51 determines that the probability variation flag is turned on in step S52 in the effective state of the probability variation mode, and proceeds to step S53. In the invalid state, it is determined in step S52 that the probability variation flag is off, and the process proceeds to step S54.

  When the CPU 51 proceeds to step S53, the ten big hit values “7, 37, 67, 97, 127, 157, 187, 217, 247, 277” are selected from the ROM 52. In step S55, the acquisition result of the random counter R3 is detected from the reserved data area 1, and the detection result of the random counter R3 is compared with ten big hit values “7 to 277”. Here, when it is determined that the detection result of the random counter R3 is the same as any one of the ten big hit values “7 to 277”, the big hit is determined, and the big hit flag is turned on in step S56. Further, when it is determined that the detection result of the random counter R3 is different from any of the ten jackpot values “7 to 277”, it is determined to be off, and the jackpot flag is turned off in step S64. That is, in the effective state of the probability variation mode, the big hit is determined with a high probability of “10/329”.

  In step S54, the CPU 51 selects one big hit value “7” from the ROM 52. In step S55, the acquisition result of the random counter R3 is detected from the reserved data area 1, and the detection result of the random counter R3 is compared with one big hit value “7”. Here, when it is determined that the detection result of the random counter R3 is the same as one big hit value “7”, the big hit is determined, and the big hit flag is turned on in step S56. Further, when it is determined that the detection result of the random counter R3 is different from one big hit value “7”, it is determined that it is out, and the big hit flag is turned off in step S64. That is, in the invalid state of the probability variation mode, the big hit is determined with a low probability of “1/329”.

  When the big hit flag is turned on in step S56, the CPU 51 detects the acquisition result of the random counter R4 from the reserved data area 1 in step S57, and compares the detection result of the random counter R4 with ten probability variation values “0 to 9”. . These ten probability variation values “0-9” are all recorded in the ROM 52, and the CPU 51 determines that the detection result of the random counter R4 is one of the ten probability variation values “0-9” in step S57. When it is determined that they are the same, the process proceeds to step S58, and the special symbol is set to the probability variation big hit mode (see FIG. 10). Then, the probability variation mode is enabled based on turning on the probability variation flag in step S59 of FIG. 9, a probability variation big hit command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 in step S60, and the variation pattern is set in the main control flag in step S71. Set processing.

  When the CPU 51 determines in step S57 that the detection result of the random counter R4 is different from any of the ten probability variation values “0 to 9”, the special symbol is a normal jackpot in step S61 (see FIG. 10). Set to. Then, the probability variation mode is invalidated based on turning off the probability variation flag in step S62 in FIG. 9, a normal jackpot command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 in step S63, and a variation pattern is set in the main control flag in step S71. Set processing. In other words, the probability variation mode is validated with a probability of “½” and invalidated with a probability of “½” on condition that the big hit is determined.

  When the CPU 51 turns off the big hit flag in step S64, the special symbol is set to an off-state (see FIG. 10) in step S65. In step S66 of FIG. 9, the acquisition result of the random counter R2 is detected from the reserved data area 1 and compared with five outreach reach values “0 to 4”. These five outreach values “0-4” are all recorded in the ROM 52, and the CPU 51 determines that the detection result of the random counter R2 is any one of the five outreach values “0-4” in step S66. When it is determined that they are the same, it is determined that the reach is out of reach, and the out reach reach flag is turned on in step S67. Next, an outreach command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 in step S68, and the variation pattern setting process is set in the main control flag in step S71.

When the CPU 51 determines that the detection result of the random counter R2 is different from any of the five outlier reach values “0 to 4” in step S66, the CPU 51 determines that it is completely out. In step S69, the release reach flag is turned off. In step S70, a complete release command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70. In step S71, the variation pattern setting process is set in the main control flag.
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. FIG. 11 shows the details of the variation pattern setting process in step S8, and the CPU 51 determines the setting state of the big hit flag in step S81 in FIG. For example, when a big hit is determined in the last big hit determination process, it is determined in step S81 that the big hit flag is on, and the process proceeds to step S82.

  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 fluctuation pattern tables shows the correlation between the random counter R1, the fluctuation pattern, and the fluctuation display time. When the CPU 51 proceeds to step S82, it selects a fluctuation pattern table for big hit from the ROM 52. Then, in step S83, the acquisition result of the random counter R1 is detected from the reserved data area 1, and the big hit variation pattern corresponding to the detection result of the random counter R1 is selected from the big hit variation pattern table. FIG. 12 shows the recorded contents of the variation pattern table for big hits, and variation patterns P1 to P4 are set in the variation pattern table for big hits.

  When the CPU 51 selects a variation pattern in step S83 in FIG. 11, the CPU 51 selects a variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern selection result from the variation pattern table for big hits in FIG. 12 in step S84. For example, when the detection result of the random counter R1 is “40”, the variation pattern “P1” is selected, and when the variation pattern selection result is “P1”, the variation display time “20.0 sec” is selected.

  When the CPU 51 determines a missed reach or complete miss in the last big hit determination process, it determines that the big hit flag is off in step S81 of FIG. Then, the process proceeds from step S81 to step S85, and the setting state of the detach reach flag is determined. For example, when the outreach is determined in the last big hit determination process, it is determined in step S85 that the outreach flag is turned on, and in step S86, a variation pattern table for outreach is selected from the ROM 52. In step S87, the acquisition result of the random counter R1 is detected from the hold data area 1, 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. 13 shows the recorded contents of the variation pattern table for outreach. In the variation pattern table for outreach, variation patterns P5 to P8 different from the variation pattern table for big hit are set.

  When the CPU 51 selects the variation pattern for outreach in step S87 in FIG. 11, the CPU 51 selects the variation display time corresponding to the selection result of the variation pattern from the variation pattern table for outreach 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 “20.0 sec” is selected.

  When the CPU 51 determines that a complete loss has occurred in the previous jackpot determination process, the CPU 51 determines in step S85 in FIG. 11 that the release reach flag is off. In step S89, the variation pattern P91 is selected, and in step S90, the variation display time “2.0 sec” corresponding to the variation pattern P9 is selected.

  When the CPU 51 selects the variation pattern and the variation display time, the variation pattern selection result is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 as a variation pattern command in step S91. In step S92, the variable display time selection result is set in the variable time timer T. In step S93, the random counters R1 to R4 in the reserved data area 1 are cleared.

  When the CPU 51 clears the random counters R1 to R4 in the reserved data area 1 in step S93, the stored data in the reserved data area 2 is shifted to the reserved data area 1 in step S94, and the stored data in the reserved data area 3 is reserved in step S95. The data is shifted to the data area 2, and the stored data in the reserved data area 4 is shifted to the reserved data area 3 in step S96. In these reserved data areas 1 to 4, default data is recorded in a state where the random counter R 1 or the like is not stored, and the random counter R 1 or the like is stored in the reserved data area 2 to the reserved data area 4. If the random counter R1 is not stored, the default data is shifted in steps S94 to S96.

When the CPU 51 shifts the stored data in the reserved data area 4 to the reserved data area 3 in step S96, the CPU 51 sets a special symbol variation start process in the main control flag in step S97. 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 normal big hit, the probability big hit, the outreach reach and the complete outage.
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. FIG. 14 shows details of the special symbol variation start process in step S9, and the CPU 51 outputs a special symbol variation start signal to the LED circuit 57 in step S101 in FIG. Then, the LED circuit 57 starts the special symbol variation display based on detecting the special symbol variation start signal. This special symbol variation display is a cyclic display of the special symbol in the setting sequence of “probability of big hit” → “normal big hit” → “outgoing” → “probable big hit”. It is.

When the CPU 51 outputs the special symbol variation start signal in step S101, the CPU 51 transmits a decorative symbol variation start command to the effect control circuit 70 in step S102. And it transfers to step S103 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 in the special symbol fluctuation stop process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the special symbol fluctuation stop process in step S10. FIG. 15 shows the details of the special symbol fluctuation stop processing in step S10. The CPU 51 subtracts the set value ΔT (4 msec) from the measured value of the fluctuation time timer T in step S111 in FIG. The remaining time of the game and the remaining time of the decorative symbol game are updated. Then, the process proceeds to step S112, and the subtraction result of the variation time timer T is compared with “0”.

  When the CPU 51 detects that the subtraction result of the variation time timer T is “0” in step S112, the CPU 51 determines the end of the special symbol game and the decorative symbol game, and outputs a special symbol variation stop signal to the LED circuit 57 in step S113. To do. This special symbol fluctuation stop signal instructs to stop the special symbol fluctuation display according to the selection result of the big hit determination process, and when the special variation big hit is determined in the big hit determination processing, the special symbol changes to the positive variation big hit in FIG. The special symbol is stopped and displayed in the normal big hit mode of FIG. 10 when it is stopped and displayed in the mode, and the special big symbol is determined in the big hit determination process. The stop display is performed in the form of 10 deviations.

  When the CPU 51 outputs a special symbol variation stop signal to the LED circuit 57 in step S113 of FIG. 15, the CPU 51 transmits a decorative symbol variation stop command to the effect control circuit 70 in step S114. 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 S114, it determines the set state of the big hit flag in step S115. When it is determined that the big hit flag is off, the process proceeds to step S116, and the big hit determination process is set to the main control flag. In step S118, the big hit flag is turned off, and in step S119, the outreach flag is turned off. If it is determined in step S115 that the big hit flag is on, the process proceeds to step S117, and the big hit game process is set in the main control flag. In step S118, the big hit flag is turned off, and in step S119, the outreach flag is turned off.
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 to execute 15 jackpot rounds. Each of the big hit rounds generates a player's advantageous state of opening the big winning opening 27, and an upper limit “10” game balls are won in the big winning opening 27, or a big winning opening. 27 is ended when the opening time reaches the upper limit “30 sec”. In this jackpot game process, the CPU 51 transmits a jackpot game start command to the effect control circuit 70 immediately before starting the first jackpot round, and immediately stops the jackpot game to the effect control circuit 70 immediately after stopping the final 15th jackpot round. A command is transmitted and the main control flag is set to the big hit determination process.
5). Internal processing of effect control circuit 70 5-1. Main Processing When the power of the CPU 71 of the effect control circuit 70 is turned on, the CPU 71 proceeds to the power-on processing of step S201 in FIG.

Then, the random counter R11, the random counter R12, the random counter R13, and the demonstration display waiting timer T are reset to “0”. 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 command update processing from step S205 to step S206 is sequentially executed.

The strobe signal is transmitted together with the command by the main control circuit 50. When the CPU 71 starts the INT interrupt process, the CPU 71 receives the command in step S211 in FIG. 17, and records the command reception result in the RAM 73 in step S212. . Then, the process proceeds to step S213, and the command processing flag is set according to the command reception result. This command processing flag is initially set to the demo display processing in the power-on processing in step S201, and FIG. 18 shows the relationship between the type of command transmitted from the main control circuit 50 and the setting contents of the command processing flag. ing.

In addition, when a decorative symbol variation start command is received, the command processing flag is set in the decorative symbol variation start command processing, and when a decorative symbol variation stop command is received, the command processing flag is set in the decorative symbol variation stop command processing. When the start command is received, the command processing flag is set to the big hit game start command processing, and when the big hit game stop command is received, the command processing flag is set to the big hit game stop command processing. The demonstration display process and the command waiting process are not set according to the command from the main control circuit 50, but are set by the CPU 71 according to the immediately preceding process contents.
5-3. Counter update process 1
FIG. 19 shows details of the counter update process 1 in step S203, and the CPU 71 adds “1” to the current measured value of the random counter R11 in step S221 in FIG. This random counter R11 is for setting a symbol element of each column of decorative symbols, and is composed of a three-digit counter. As shown in FIG. 20, the first digit of the random counter R11 is added from “0” to “7”, then returned to “0” and added cyclically, and the second digit is “1”. “1” is added for each carry added from “7” to “0”, and “1” is added for the third digit every time the carry is added from “7” to “0”. The

  When the CPU 71 updates the random counter R11 in step S221 in FIG. 19, the first digit and the third digit of the update result of the random counter R11 are compared in step S222.

This command waiting process is a process only waiting for a command from the main control circuit 50, and no substantial processing operation is performed.
5-4-2. Demo Display Processing When the CPU 71 detects that the command processing flag is set in the demo display processing, the unit time “4 msec” is subtracted from the measured value of the demonstration display waiting timer T in step S241 in FIG. The demonstration display waiting timer T measures the remaining time until a command to display the demonstration screen is measured. When the CPU 71 subtracts the demonstration display waiting timer T in step S241, the process proceeds to step S242. Here, the subtraction result of the demonstration display waiting timer T is compared with “0”, and when “T = 0” is determined, the process proceeds to step S243.

  When the CPU 71 proceeds to step S243, the CPU 71 determines the setting state of the super reach flag 1. For example, when it is determined that the super reach flag 1 is turned on, the album command 1 is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S244, and then the process proceeds to step S245. When it is determined that the super reach flag 1 is turned off, the album command 1 is not transmitted. The process proceeds to step S245. The super reach flag 1 is turned on based on the generation of the super reach 1 in the decorative symbol game, and the super reach 1 refers to the reach effect of FIG. 33 in a narrative style. That is, when the super reach 1 has been generated in the decorative symbol game, it is always determined that the super reach flag 1 is turned on in step S243 in FIG. 22, and the album command 1 is transmitted in step S244.

  When the CPU 71 proceeds to step S245, it determines the setting state of the super reach flag 2. For example, when it is determined that the super reach flag 2 is turned on, the album command 2 is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S246, and then the process proceeds to step S247. When it is determined that the super reach flag 2 is turned off, the album command 2 is not transmitted. The process proceeds to step S247. The super reach flag 2 is turned on based on the generation of the super reach 2 in the decorative symbol game, and the super reach 2 refers to the narrative-like reach effect of FIG. That is, when the super reach 2 has been generated in the decorative symbol game, it is always determined that the super reach flag 2 is turned on in step S245 of FIG. 22, and the album command 2 is transmitted in step S246.

  When the CPU 71 proceeds to step S247, the CPU 71 determines the setting state of the super reach flag 3. For example, when it is determined that the super reach flag 3 is on, the album command 3 is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S248, and then the process proceeds to step S249. When it is determined that the super reach flag 3 is off, the album command 3 is not transmitted. The process proceeds to step S249. The super reach flag 3 is turned on based on the generation of the super reach 3 in the decorative symbol game, and the super reach 3 refers to the reach effect of FIG. That is, when the super reach 3 has been generated in the decorative symbol game, it is always determined that the super reach flag 3 is turned on in step S247 of FIG. 22, and the album command 3 is transmitted in step S248.

  When proceeding to step S249, the CPU 71 determines the setting state of the cut-in notice flag. For example, when it is determined that the cut-in notification flag is on, the album command 4 is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S250, and then the process proceeds to step S251. When it is determined that the cut-in notification flag is off, the album command 4 is not transmitted. The process proceeds to step S251. This cut-in notice flag is turned on based on the occurrence of a cut-in notice in the decorative symbol game, and the cut-in notice is a figure that informs indefinitely that the decorative symbol will be a big hit combination. This refers to 37 notice effects. That is, when the cut-in notice has been generated in the decorative symbol game, it is always determined that the cut-in notice flag is on in step S249 in FIG. 22, and the album command 4 is transmitted in step S250.

  When the CPU 71 proceeds to step S251, it determines the set state of the big hit round flag. For example, when it is determined that the big hit round flag is turned on, the album command 5 is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S252, and then the process proceeds to step S253. Migrate to This jackpot round flag is turned on based on the occurrence of a jackpot round display. The jackpot round display refers to the image of FIG. 38 displayed during the jackpot round. That is, when the big hit round display has been generated, the big hit round flag is always turned on in step S251 in FIG. 22, and the album command 5 is transmitted in step S252.

CPU71 will transmit a demonstration display command to the symbol control circuit 80, if it transfers to step S253. Then, the process proceeds to step S254, and the command processing flag is set to command waiting processing. This demonstration display command instructs the symbol control circuit 80 to display a demonstration screen, and the symbol control circuit 80 starts displaying the demonstration screen upon receiving the demonstration display command. This demonstration screen is displayed based on the fact that the substantial game stop state in which neither the decorative symbol game nor the big hit game is performed continues, and the demonstration display waiting timer T indicates the duration of the game stop state. It is to be measured.
5-4-3. Winning Command Processing When the CPU 71 receives from the main control circuit 50 any of the probabilistic big hit command, the normal big hit command, the miss reach command, or the complete miss command, it sets the win command processing in the command processing flag. For example, in the display state of the demonstration screen, the command processing flag is set to the command waiting process, and when the CPU 71 receives any of the probable big hit command to the complete off command in the display state of the demonstration screen, the command processing flag is changed from the command waiting process. Rewrite to win command processing.

  When the CPU 71 detects that the command processing flag is set to the winning command processing, the CPU 71 detects the reception result of the command from the RAM 73 in step S261 in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S262, and the command detection result is compared with the probability variation jackpot command. For example, when it is determined that the command detection result is a probability variation jackpot command, the decoration symbol is set to a combination of probability variation jackpots in step S263, and the jackpot symbol is set to the symbol setting flag in step S264. The processing content of this step S263 is as follows.

  The CPU 71 acquires the measurement value of the random counter R12 and detects the probability variation big hit symbol table from the ROM 72. As shown in FIG. 24, the probability variation jackpot symbol table stores the correspondence between the random counter R12 and symbol elements, and the CPU 71 obtains symbol elements according to the acquisition result of the random counter R12 from the probability variation jackpot symbol table. The symbol element L in the left column, the symbol element C in the middle column, and the symbol element R in the right column are set as the selection result of the same symbol element. For example, when the acquisition result of the random counter R12 is “6”, “7” is selected as the symbol element, and the symbol element L in the left column, the symbol element C in the middle column, and the symbol element R in the right column are all “7”. And the decorative symbol is set to a combination of probability variation big hits of “777”. That is, four types of symbol elements “1”, “3”, “5”, and “7” are set in the probability variation jackpot symbol table of FIG. 24, and when the main control circuit 50 determines the probability variation jackpot, it is decorated. The symbol is set to one of the odd combinations “111”, “333”, “555”, and “777”.

  If the CPU 71 determines in step S262 in FIG. 23 that the command detection result is not a probability change jackpot command, the CPU 71 compares the command detection result with a normal jackpot command in step S265. For example, when it is determined that the command detection result is a normal jackpot command, the decoration symbol is set to a combination of normal jackpots at step S266, and the jackpot symbol is set to the symbol setting flag at step S267. The processing content of this step S266 is as follows.

  The CPU 71 acquires the measurement value of the random counter R12 and detects the normal jackpot symbol table from the ROM 72. As shown in FIG. 25, the normal jackpot symbol table is a record of the correspondence between the random counter R12 and symbol elements. The CPU 71 obtains symbol elements according to the acquisition result of the random counter R12 from the normal jackpot symbol table. The symbol element L in the left column, the symbol element C in the middle column, and the symbol element R in the right column are set as the selection result of the same symbol element. For example, when the acquisition result of the random counter R12 is “6”, “8” is selected as the symbol element, and the symbol element L in the left column, the symbol element C in the middle column, and the symbol element R in the right column are all “8”. And the decorative symbol is set to a normal jackpot combination of “888”. That is, four types of symbol elements “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” are set in the normal jackpot symbol table of FIG. 25, and the decoration is displayed when the main control circuit 50 determines the normal jackpot. An even combination of symbols “222”, “444”, “666”, and “888” is set.

  If the CPU 71 determines in step S265 of FIG. 23 that the command detection result is not a normal jackpot command, the CPU 71 detects the command detection result and compares it with a reach command in step S268. For example, when it is determined that the command detection result is an outreach command, the decorative symbol is set as a combination of outreach in step S269, and the outreach symbol is set in the symbol setting flag in step S270. The processing content of this step S269 is as follows.

  The CPU 71 acquires the measurement value of the random counter R11 from the outlier reach design area of the RAM 73, and adds “1” to the third digit, the second digit, and the first digit of the detection result of the random counter R11. Then, the symbol element L in the left column is set as the addition result of the third digit, the symbol element C in the middle column is set as the addition result of the second digit, and the symbol element R of the right column is set as the addition result of the first digit. Set. For example, when “131” is acquired as the random counter R11, the symbol element L in the left column and the symbol element R in the right column are both set to “2”, and the symbol element C in the middle column is set to “4”. The decorative symbol is set to “242”. That is, in the outlier design setting process, the decorative symbol is set to a combination of outliers in which the symbol element L in the left column and the symbol element R in the right column are the same and the symbol element C in the middle column is different.

  When the CPU 71 determines in step S268 of FIG. 23 that the command detection result is not a detach reach command, the CPU 71 determines that the command is a complete detach command. In this case, in step S271, the decorative symbol is set to a combination of completely deviating, and in step S272, the completely deviating symbol is set to the symbol setting flag. The processing content of this step S271 is as follows.

  The CPU 71 acquires the measurement value of the random counter R11 from the completely out of symbol area of the RAM 73, and adds “1” to the third digit, the second digit, and the first digit of the detection result of the random counter R11. Then, the symbol element L in the left column is set as the addition result of the third digit, the symbol element C in the middle column is set as the addition result of the second digit, and the symbol element R of the right column is set as the addition result of the first digit. Set. For example, when the acquisition result of the random counter R11 is “112”, the symbol element L in the left column and the symbol element C in the middle column are both set to “2”, and the symbol element R in the right column is set to “3”. The decorative design is set to “223”. That is, in the complete removal symbol setting process, the decorative symbol is set to a combination of complete deviation in which the symbol element L in the left column and the symbol element R in the right column are different from each other.

When the CPU 71 proceeds to step S273 in FIG. 23, the command reception result (probability big hit command, normal big hit command, outreach command, complete out command) recorded in the RAM 73 is cleared. In step S274, the setting result of the symbol element L in the left column, the setting result of the symbol element C in the middle column, and the setting result of the symbol element R in the right column are transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80, and the command processing flag is set in step S275. Sets command wait processing.
5-4-4. Fluctuation Pattern Command Processing When the CPU 71 receives a variation pattern command from the main control circuit 50, the CPU 71 sets the variation pattern command processing in the command processing flag. This variation pattern command is transmitted immediately after the deviation between the probabilistic big hit command and the completely off command is transmitted, and the CPU 71 starts the command waiting process immediately after rewriting the command processing flag from the current command process to the command waiting process. Rewrite to change pattern command processing.

  If the CPU 71 determines that the command processing flag is set to the variation pattern command processing, the CPU 71 detects the reception result of the variation pattern command from the RAM 73 in step S281 in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S282, and an effect pattern command is set based on the detection result of the variation pattern command. FIG. 27 shows an effect table recorded in the ROM 72 of the effect control circuit 70. This effect table shows the correlation between the variation pattern command and the effect pattern command, and the CPU 71 selects an effect pattern command corresponding to the reception result of the variation pattern command from the effect table in step S282 of FIG. For example, when “P3” is detected as the variation pattern command, the effect pattern command “C3” is selected.

  When CPU 71 selects an effect pattern command in step S282 of FIG. 26, CPU 71 transmits the effect pattern command selection result to symbol control circuit 80, sound control circuit 90, and illumination control circuit 100 in step S283. A plurality of sound data are recorded in the ROM 92 of the sound control circuit 90, and when the CPU 91 of the sound control circuit 90 receives the effect pattern command from the effect control circuit 70, the sound data corresponding to the reception result of the effect pattern command is obtained. Select from ROM 92 and record in RAM 93. A plurality of illumination data is recorded in the ROM 102 of the illumination control circuit 100. When the CPU 101 of the illumination control circuit 100 receives an effect pattern command from the effect control circuit 70, it corresponds to the reception result of the effect pattern command. The illumination data is selected from the ROM 102 and recorded in the RAM 103.

  A plurality of video data are recorded in the VROM 85 of the symbol control circuit 80 as shown in FIG. An effect pattern command is set for each of the video data. When the CPU 81 of the design control circuit 80 receives the effect pattern command from the effect control circuit 70, the video data type corresponding to the effect pattern command is selected and the VDP 84 is set. Send to. Then, the VDP 84 detects the video data designated by the CPU 81 from the VROM 85, decompresses the video data detection result, and records it in the VRAM 86. Each video data is started to be played when a decoration design change start command is transmitted from the main control circuit 50, and is stopped when a decoration design change stop command is transmitted from the main control circuit 50. The reproduction time of each video data is set to the same value as the variation display time, which is the time required from when the decorative symbol variation start command is transmitted until when the decorative symbol variation stop command is transmitted. For example, the video data V1 in FIG. 28 is selected when the effect control circuit 70 sets the effect pattern command C1, and the effect pattern command C1 is selected when the main control circuit 50 sets the variation pattern P1. . The reproduction time of the video data V1 is set to the same value “20.0 sec” as the fluctuation display time of the fluctuation pattern P1.

  When CPU 71 transmits the effect pattern command selection result in step S283 of FIG. 26, CPU 71 compares the effect pattern command selection result with “C1” and “C5” in step S284. These effect pattern commands C1 and C5 are used to generate images of the same system Super Reach 1 (see FIG. 33), and the CPU 71 causes the selection results of the effect pattern commands to be “C1” and “C5” in step S284 of FIG. When it is determined that either of these is true, the process proceeds to step S285.

  The album symbol 131 is displayed as a demonstration screen corresponding to the standby screen, and the super reach 1, the super reach 2, the super reach 3, the cut-in notice and the jackpot round display are not generated (for example, the power supply). As shown in FIG. 41, in the demo screen immediately after the insertion, the design 131 of the album with no photo attached is displayed as the demo screen. When the decorative symbol game is performed with this album blank, and when Super Reach 1 is generated in the decorative symbol game, when the display is switched to the demo screen, the super-reach 1 photo symbol 132 is pasted and displayed on the album symbol 131. The Similarly, when Super Reach 2 occurs in the decorative symbol game, when the screen is switched to the demo screen, the Super 133 image picture 133 is pasted and displayed on the album symbol 131, and Super Reach 3 occurs in the decorative symbol game. Sometimes, when switching to the demo screen, the picture 134 of the photo of Super Reach 3 is pasted and displayed on the picture 131 of the album. Similarly, when a cut-in notice is generated in a decorative design game, the picture 135 of the photo of the cut-in notice is pasted and displayed on the album design 131 when switching to the demo screen, and on the demo screen when a jackpot game is performed. At the time of switching, the picture symbol 136 of the big hit round display is pasted and displayed on the album symbol 131.

According to the said Example 1, there exists the following effect.
When the super reach 1 occurs, the super reach flag 1 is turned on. When the super reach 2 occurs, the super reach flag 2 is turned on. When the super reach 3 occurs, the super reach flag 3 is turned on. When the super-reach flag 1 is turned on, the cut-in notice flag is turned on. When the super-reach flag 1 is turned on, one frame of the super reach 1 is displayed as a still image on the demo screen. One frame of reach 2 is displayed as a still image, one frame of super reach 3 is displayed as a still image when the super reach flag 3 is turned on, and a demo screen when the cut-in notice flag is turned on 1 frame of cut-in notice is displayed as a still image It was. For this reason, a new still image is added to the demo screen every time a new effect image is generated in the decorative design game, so that the player can view the demo screen as a photo album that he / she has collected. A new preference is generated. In addition, the game motivation is increased because the goal is to add a collection of photos by generating a new production image.

  When Super Reach 1 occurs for the first time, the edit mark symbol 123 is displayed while Super Reach 1 is displayed to inform that one frame of Super Reach 1 is displayed on the demo screen. When it occurs, the symbol 123 of the edit mark is displayed during the display of the super reach 2 to notify that one frame of the super reach 2 is displayed on the demo screen, and when the super reach 3 is first generated, the edit mark of the edit mark is displayed. By displaying the pattern 123 while the super reach 3 is displayed, it is notified that one frame of the super reach 3 is displayed on the demo screen, and when the cut-in notice is first generated, the edit mark figure 123 is cut. Displayed during the display of the notification that one frame of the cut-in notice is displayed on the demo screenFor this reason, when the player has acquired a collection according to the target, this can be recognized, so that the player can feel a sense of achievement that the collection has been acquired according to the target.

  FIG. 45 shows details of the demonstration display process executed by the CPU 71 of the effect control circuit 70 in step S232 of FIG. 21, and when the CPU 71 determines “Demo display wait timer T> 0” in step S242, the process proceeds to step S255. The process proceeds to determine the operation state of the erase switch. This erasure switch is mounted on the upper plate 6 and can be operated by the player in a seated state.

  When the CPU 71 determines that the erase switch is turned on in step S255, the CPU 71 turns off the super reach flag 1, the super reach flag 2, the super reach flag 3, the cut-in notice flag, and the big hit round flag in step S256. That is, when the player operates the erase switch before the demonstration screen is displayed when the game is stopped when both the decorative symbol game (special symbol game) and the big hit game are stopped, the super reach flag 1 to the big hit round flag are turned off. . Accordingly, since the demo display command is transmitted without transmitting any of the album commands 1 to 5, the photo pattern 132 to the photo pattern 136 are not displayed on the demo screen.

  According to the second embodiment, since the erasure switch for resetting the video information such as the super reach flag 1 is provided, the new player operates the erasure switch for the pictures 132 to 136 of the photos collected by the previous player. Can be erased. For this reason, even when a new player plays a game after the previous player, by starting the game after operating the erase switch, only the photos he has collected can be displayed as a demo screen. Increased motivation.

  In the second embodiment, the player operates the erase switch based on his / her own intention to turn off the super reach flag 1 to the big hit round flag. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The super reach flag 1 to the big hit round flag may be automatically turned off based on the control circuit 70 detecting the establishment of the set condition. Hereinafter, a description will be given of a third embodiment in which the effect control circuit 70 automatically turns off the super reach flag 1 to the big hit round flag.

  FIG. 46 shows the details of the demo display process executed by the CPU 71 of the effect control circuit 70 in step S232 of FIG. 21, and when the CPU 71 determines “Demo display wait timer T> 0” in step S242, the process proceeds to step S255. Then, the measured value of the erase counter is compared with the erase condition “10”. This erasure counter measures the number of times the demo screen is displayed. The CPU 71 resets to “0” by the power-on process, and increments by “1” in step S259 each time a demo display command is transmitted in step S253.

  When the CPU 71 determines “erase counter = 10” in step S257, it turns off the super reach flag 1, the super reach flag 2, the super reach flag 3, the cut-in notice flag, and the big hit round flag in step S256. Then, the process proceeds to step S258, and the erase counter is reset to “0”. That is, when the display number of the demonstration screen reaches the set value “10 times”, the super reach flag 1 to the big hit round flag are automatically turned off. Accordingly, since the demo display command is transmitted without transmitting any of the album commands 1 to 5, the photo pattern 132 to the photo pattern 136 are not displayed on the demo screen.

  According to the third embodiment, the reset means for automatically resetting the video information such as the super reach flag 1 is provided. For this reason, when the decorative pattern game is performed so many times that all the picture patterns 132 to 136 are collected, the resetting means is automatically operated, and the picture patterns 132 to 136 are automatically deleted. Therefore, since the player can start the photo collection again, the willingness to play is increased.

  In the first to third embodiments, the super reach flag 1 is turned on based on the first occurrence of the super reach 1, and the super reach 1 is displayed on the demonstration screen on condition that the super reach flag 1 is turned on. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of occurrences of super reach 1 is measured based on updating the counter every time super reach 1 occurs. It is also possible to display one frame of the super reach 1 on the demonstration screen on the condition that the use condition is determined a plurality of times. The same applies to Super Reach 2, Super Reach 3, cut-in notice and jackpot round display.

  In the first to third embodiments, the selection of whether to generate Super Reach 1, Super Reach 2, or Super Reach 3 in the decorative symbol game is selected regardless of the display content of the demonstration screen. For example, the selection may be made in relation to the display content of the demonstration screen. In this case, when a probable big hit or a normal big hit is determined, it is preferable to select one that has not been determined to be displayed on the demo screen among the super reach 1 to the super reach 3 in the decorative symbol game.

  In the first to third embodiments, one frame of Super Reach 1 is displayed on the demonstration screen. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a video related to one frame of Super Reach 1 is displayed as a still image. You may do it. This related video is a video capable of recognizing that it is Super Reach 1, and for example, only the princess symbol 121 and the samurai 1 symbol 122 may be displayed. The same applies to Super Reach 2, Super Reach 3, cut-in notice and jackpot round display.

  In the first to third embodiments, the demonstration screen is displayed based on the fact that the demonstration display waiting timer T is subtracted from the demonstration waiting time to “0” in the game stop state, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, for example, the demonstration screen may be displayed based on the fact that the demonstration display waiting timer T is added to the demonstration waiting time from “0” in the game stop state.

  In the above-mentioned Examples 1 to 3, the demonstration screen is displayed only when the duration time of the decorative symbol game (special symbol game) and the big hit game is not being played and the duration of the game reaches the limit value. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the switch is operated in the game stop state, the demo screen is displayed even when the duration of the game stop state has not reached the limit value. Also good. This switch can be operated by the player and is preferably mounted on the upper plate 6 or the like. In this configuration, there is an advantage that a player can enjoy an album of photographs collected by himself without intentionally interrupting the game for a long time.
