When the power is turned on, the CPU 51 initializes the RAM 53 by the power-on process in step S1, and the timer of the RAM 53 in step S2. It is determined whether or not the interrupt flag is set to the on state. If it is determined that the timer interrupt flag is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S3, and the timer interrupt flag is set to the off state in step S3. This timer interrupt flag is set by the CPU 51 to the on state in the timer interrupt process. This timer interrupt process is started every time a fixed time (4 msec) elapses, and the timer interrupt flag is set to an on state every time a predetermined time elapses.

When the CPU 51 sets the timer interrupt flag to the OFF state in step S3, the CPU 51 proceeds to the counter update process in step S4. In this counter update process, the value of the counter MC1 and the value of the counter MC2 in the RAM 53 are updated by a fixed value (1). The values of the counters MC1 to MC2 are initially set to the lower limit value (0) in step S1, and the update contents of the values of the counters MC1 to MC2 are as follows.

In this case, it is recorded in the reserved data area of the reserved number 3, and when the addition result of the value of the counter MN is (4), it is recorded in the reserved data area of the reserved number 4.

  When the CPU 51 records the detection results of the values of the counters MC1 and MC2 in the RAM 53 in step S17, the CPU 51 sets a hold addition command in step S18, and transmits the setting result of the hold addition command to the effect control circuit 70 in step S19. This hold addition command notifies the effect control circuit 70 of the addition result of the value of the counter MN, and the CPU 51 sets the addition result of the value of the counter MN as the hold addition command.

  When the CPU 51 transmits the setting result of the pending addition command to the effect control circuit 70 in step S19, the CPU 51 sets the prefetch command 1 in step S20, and transmits the setting result of the prefetch command 1 to the effect control circuit 70 in step S21. This prefetch command 1 notifies the effect control circuit 70 of the detection result of the value of the counter MC1, and the CPU 51 adds the value of the counter MN among the hold data area of the hold number 1 to the hold data area of the hold number 4. The value of the counter MC1 is detected from one corresponding to the above, and the detection result of the value of the counter MC1 is set to the prefetch command 1.

Each of the nine of the video data 01 to 14 is for displaying a background image of the decorative design game, and the VDP of the display control circuit 80 receives a video command from the VROM when a video command from the effect control circuit 70 is received. One video data corresponding to the command reception result is detected. When the VDP receives a playback start command from the effect control circuit 70, the VDP starts playback of the video data detection result to start displaying the background image of the decorative symbol game on the decorative symbol display 34. When the playback stop command is received, the video image detection result is stopped to stop displaying the background image of the decorative symbol game. The symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol in the right column Each element is displayed in front of the background image of the decorative symbol game.

  FIG. 30 shows a hold effect display process. The hold effect display process is performed based on a control program in which the VDP of the display control circuit 80 is recorded in advance in the VROM, and the VDP determines whether or not a hold display command is recorded in the VRAM in step S401. This VDP is recorded in the VRAM by receiving the hold display command from the effect control circuit 70. If it is determined in step S401 that no hold display command is recorded in the VRAM, the VDP proceeds to step S407. To do.

  When the VDP determines that the hold display command is recorded in the VRAM in step S401, the VDP detects the hold display command from the VRAM in step S402. In step S403, the VDP determines whether the detection result of the hold display command is the hold display command 0. Judging. If it is determined that the detection result of the hold display command is the hold display command 0, all the hold symbols 36 are erased from the hold display area 35 of the decorative symbol display 34 in step S404, and from the VRAM in step S406. The hold display command is deleted, and the process proceeds to step S407.

  When the VDP determines that the detection result of the hold display command is not the hold display command 0 in step S403, the number of the hold designs 36 corresponding to the detection result of the hold display command in the hold display area 35 of the decorative symbol display 34 in step S405. Is displayed. In step S406, the hold display command is deleted from the VRAM, and the process proceeds to step S407.

  (A) of FIG. 31 is an image displayed in the hold display area 35 when the VDP detects the hold display command 1. In the hold display area 35, a hold area 101, a hold area 102, a hold area 103, a hold area 103, and a hold area 104 of 4 times are set in order from the left. Each of 104 has a display order for displaying the reserved picture 36. In this display order, the once reserved area 101 is set to (1), the twice reserved area 102 is set to (2), the three times reserved area 103 is set to (3), and the four times reserved area 104 is set to ( When the hold display command 1 is detected, the VDP displays the rectangular hold picture 36 in the hold area 101 once. The reserved picture 36 is displayed by reproducing VROM image data, and is displayed in a vertical orientation in which the vertical side is longer than the horizontal side.

  (B) of FIG. 31 is an image displayed in the hold display area 35 when the VDP detects the hold display command 2, and when the VDP detects the hold display command 2, once in the hold area 101 and 2 The reserved picture 36 is displayed vertically in each of the times reserved area 102. (C) of FIG. 31 is an image displayed in the hold display area 35 when the VDP detects the hold display command 3, and when the VDP detects the hold display command 3, the VDP is displayed once in the hold area 101. The reserved picture 36 is displayed vertically in each of the once reserved area 102 and the third reserved area 103. (D) of FIG. 31 is an image displayed in the hold display area 35 when the VDP detects the hold display command 4, and when the VDP detects the hold display command 4, the VDP is displayed once in the hold area 101. The reserved picture 36 is displayed in the portrait orientation in each of the once reserved area 102, the third reserved area 103, and the fourth reserved area 104.

  When the main control circuit 50 adds the value of the counter MN because the game ball has won the special symbol start port 23, a pending addition command corresponding to the addition result of the value of the counter MN is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 ( The production control circuit 70 transmits a hold display command corresponding to the reception result of the hold addition command to the display control circuit 80 (see step S114 of FIG. 13), and the display control circuit 80 holds the hold display command. The number of reserved symbols 36 corresponding to the received result is displayed in the reserved display area 35 to inform the player of the number of times the special symbol game and the decorative symbol game are held.

  When the main control circuit 50 starts to display the special symbol game video, a pending subtraction command corresponding to the result of subtraction of the value of the counter MN is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 (see step S69 in FIG. 8). 70 transmits a hold display command corresponding to the reception result of the hold subtraction command to the display control circuit 80 (see step S223 in FIG. 23), and the display control circuit 80 sets the number of hold patterns 36 corresponding to the reception result of the hold display command. Is displayed in the hold display area 35 to inform the player of the number of hold times of the special symbol game and the decorative symbol game.

  When the VDP proceeds to step S407, it determines whether or not a dice change start command is recorded in the VRAM. The VDP is recorded in the VRAM by receiving the dice change start command from the effect control circuit 70. If it is determined in step S407 that the dice change start command is recorded in the VRAM, the VDP is step S408. The die change start command is erased from the VRAM, and it is determined in step S409 whether or not a horizontal command is recorded in the VRAM. This VDP is recorded in the VRAM by receiving each of the landscape command and the flame command from the effect control circuit 70. If it is determined in step S409 that the landscape command is recorded in the VRAM, the VDP is a step. In S410, a horizontal command is detected from the VRAM, and the process proceeds to the dice effect display process 1 in step S411.

  FIG. 32 shows the dice effect display process 1 in step S411, and FIG. 33 shows an image displayed on the decorative symbol display 34 by the VDP performing the dice effect display process 1. In step S431, the VDP displays a mat pattern 39 in the dice effect area 37 of the decorative symbol display 34 (see a in FIG. 33). The mat pattern 39 has a circular shape having a green color. The mat pattern 39 is displayed in the display area of the decorative symbol display 34 by reproducing the image data of the VRAM so as to be superimposed in front of the background image of the decorative symbol game and the video of the big hit game effect. On the other hand, it is partitioned visually.

A display order for displaying the reserved picture 36 is set in each of the one-time reserved area 101 to the four-time reserved area 104, and every time the update result of the value of the counter MC1 is recorded in the reserved data area. Each time the value of the counter MC1 is erased from the data area, the number of the reserved pictures 36 corresponding to the number of recorded values of the counter MC1 in the reserved data area is reserved from the inside of the once reserved area 101 in the first display order. It is displayed vertically in the reserved area in the display order corresponding to the number of the patterns 36.

  In the prefetch result area of the RAM 73 of the effect control circuit 70, the prefetch result 2 is recorded. This prefetch result 2 is a result of determining what kind of change start command is set before the change start command is normally set. In the prefetch result area, the result of updating the value of the counter MC2 in the reserved data area Each time is recorded, the prefetching result 2 is recorded, and the oldest prefetching result 2 is erased from the prefetching result area every time the decorative symbol game video is displayed on the decorative symbol display 34. When any of the change start commands 04 and 14 is recorded as the prefetching result 2 in this prefetching result area, the counter SN1 is set on the condition that the remaining time ST of the decorative design game video is equal to or longer than the dice effect time. The value of is initialized. The initial setting result of the value of the counter SN1 indicates the number of the change start command 04 or the change start command 14 recorded in the prefetch result area among the prefetch results 2 in the prefetch result area. When the value of the counter SN1 is initialized, each of the notification effect image and the hold effect image is displayed on the decorative symbol display 34.

  The holding effect image is to change the holding picture 36 in the holding area of the display order in accordance with the initial setting result of the value of the counter SN1 from the once holding area 101 to the four times holding area 104 from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction. The player decorates a specific effect according to the change start command 04 or the change start command 14 depending on whether the reserved picture 36 in landscape orientation is in the once-hold area 101 to the four-time hold area 104. It becomes possible to recognize when the image of the symbol game is displayed. The notification effect image is to notify the player with the eyes of the dice pattern 38 which one of the reserved pattern 36 in the once-reserved area 101 to the reserved pattern 36 in the fourth-reserved area 104 is turned sideways. . This notification effect image is displayed before the display of the hold effect image, and the player visually displays the change in the reserved picture 36 in the hold effect image by displaying the notification effect image in advance. It can be easily recognized. The notification effect video and the hold effect video are displayed when the remaining time ST of the decorative design game is equal to or longer than the total required time of the notification effect video and the hold effect video, and the change of the reserved picture 36 varies. The start command 04 or the change start command 14 is accurately performed on the pre-read result 2 that has been pre-read.

  The precondition and precondition where the change start command 03 or the prefetch result 2 of the change start command 13 is recorded in the prefetch result area of the RAM 73 of the effect control circuit 70 and the remaining time ST of the decorative design game video is equal to or longer than the dice effect time. When the condition that the four prefetch results 2 are recorded in the result area is satisfied, the value of the counter SN1 is initialized, and the prefetch result 2 of the change start command 04 or the change start command 14 is recorded in the prefetch result area. The value of the counter SN2 when the condition that the remaining time ST of the video of the decoration pattern game is equal to or longer than the dice effect time and the condition that a plurality of prefetch results 2 are recorded in the prefetch result area are satisfied. Is initialized.

  When the value of the counter SN1 is initialized, the flame flag is turned off. When the value of the counter SN2 is initialized, the flame flag is set to an on state. The flame flag determines the number of display times of the notification effect video in which the dice pattern 38 is sequentially displayed in the change state and the change stop state. When the flame flag is off, the notification effect image and the hold effect image are displayed only once. In the ON state of the flame flag, the notification effect image and the hold effect image are displayed only twice. The second notification effect video and the hold effect video are displayed at the same time as the display of the decorative symbol game video on the decorative symbol display 34, and before the display of the decorative symbol game video is stopped. finish. For this reason, the player changes to the decorative symbol game video and the variation start command 04 or the variation start command 14 of a specific effect according to the variation start command 03 or the variation start command 13 from the display count of the notification effect video and the hold effect video. It becomes possible to recognize which one of the images of the decorative design game having different specific production contents is displayed.

  When the change start command 03 or the change start command 13 is recorded as the prefetch result 2 in the prefetch result area of the RAM 73 of the effect control circuit 70, the value of the counter SN1 is initialized. The initial setting result of the value of the counter SN1 indicates what number of the prefetch results of the change start command 03 or the change start command 13 is recorded in the prefetch result area in the prefetch result area. When the value of the counter SN1 is initially set, a hold effect image is displayed on the decorative symbol display 34. In this reserved effect image, the reserved picture 36 in the once reserved area 101 to the reserved picture 36 in the reserved area 104 four times in the reserved area in the display order according to the initial setting result of the counter SN1 from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction. Accordingly, the player can recognize when the reach video 3 is displayed according to the display area in which the reserved picture 36 is turned sideways.

  Before the display of the reserved effect image, the mat pattern 39 is displayed in the display area of the decorative symbol display 34. The mat pattern 39 is image-divided with respect to the display area of the decorative symbol display 34. When the mat pattern 39 is displayed, the dice pattern 38 starts to be displayed in a fluctuating state. . This dice pattern 38 can be a different eye that informs the player of the display order of each of the once-holding area 101 to the four-time holding area 104, and the dice pattern 38 is in a fluctuating state. When the display is started, the dice pattern 38 is in a variable stop state. The change stop of the dice pattern 38 is performed in order to notify the player of the reserved pattern 36 in the reserved area in the display order in accordance with the initial setting result of the value of the counter SN1, and the player uses the dice pattern 38. It is possible to easily recognize visually that the reserved picture 36 is turned sideways from the eyes in the state of 38 fluctuations stopped.

  The dice effect start process 1 in FIG. 36 is performed by the CPU 71 of the effect control circuit 70 in place of the dice effect start process 1 in FIG. 18, and the CPU 71 performs the change start command 03 with the prefetch result area with the hold number 1 and the hold number 2. No prefetch result area, hold number 3 prefetch result area, hold number 4 prefetch result area, and change start command 13 is any one of hold number 1 prefetch result area to hold number 4 The change start command 04 does not exist in any of the prefetch result area of the hold number 1 to the prefetch result area of the hold number 4 and the change start command 14 has the prefetch result area of the hold number 1 to the hold number 4. If it does not exist in any of the pre-read result areas, a dice false change start command is sent to the display control circuit 80 in step S501. To send. When the display control circuit 80 receives a dice false change start command, it records it in the VRAM.

  The hold effect display process of FIG. 37 is performed in place of the VDP of the display control circuit 80 in place of the hold effect display process of FIG. 30, and when the VDP proceeds to step S511, a dice false change start command is recorded in the VRAM. Judge whether or not. If it is determined that the dice false change start command is recorded in the VRAM, the dice false change start command is deleted from the VRAM in step S512, and the process proceeds to the dice effect display process 3 in step S513.

In step S521, the VDP displays a mat pattern 39 in the dice effect area 37 of the decorative symbol display 34 (see FIG. 39a), and in step S522, the dice pattern 38 is superimposed on the front of the mat pattern 39 and fluctuates. The state is displayed (see b in FIG. 39).

  When the VDP finishes displaying the variation of the dice pattern 38 in step S522, the VDP stops displaying the dice pattern 38 in step S523 (see c in FIG. 39). The stop display of the dice pattern 38 is to stop the dice pattern 38 so that the upper surface on the video of the dice pattern 38 becomes any one of (5) and (6). If the dice pattern 38 is stopped and displayed, the dice pattern 38 is deleted from the dice effect area 37 in step S524 (see d in FIG. 39), and the mat pattern 39 is displayed from the dice effect area 37 in step S525. Erase (see d in FIG. 39). The required time from the display start of the mat pattern 39 in step S521 to the deletion in step S525 is set to the same value as the dice effect time (see step S119 in FIG. 13). The image of the dice effect 3 from the start of the display of the mat pattern 39 in the display process 3 until it is deleted is displayed on the decorative symbol display 34 at the time when the effect control circuit 70 receives the hold command 4. When the video of the decorative symbol game ends, it ends before the same time.

  In each of the first and second embodiments, the prefetch result 2 of the change start command 04 or the change start command 14 is recorded in either the prefetch result area of the hold number 3 and the prefetch result area of the hold number 4 of the effect control circuit 70. In the case where the dice effect display process 2 is performed, the dice effect display process may be performed when the display of the video of the next decorative symbol game after the dice effect display process 2 is started. In this dice effect display process, the dice pattern 38 is changed and stopped by (1) fewer eyes than the dice effect display process 2, and a flame having a larger area than the flame pattern 40 is directly above the sideways reserved picture 36. Is displayed.

  When the VDP stops displaying the dice pattern 38 in step S443, the VDP displays the flame pattern 40 directly above one reserved pattern 36 in step S444 (see d in FIG. 35). In step S445, the flame command is erased from the VRAM. In step S446, the dice pattern 38 is erased from the dice effect area 37 (see e in FIG. 35). In step S447, the mat pattern 39 is obtained from the dice effect area 37. Is deleted (see e in FIG. 35). This one reserved picture 36 is selected according to the detection result of the flame command, and when the detection result of the flame command is the flame command 1, the VDP is the horizontal reserved picture 36 in the once holding area 101. If the detection result of the flame command is the flame command 2, the flame pattern 40 is displayed just above the horizontally held image 36 in the holding area 102 twice. When the detection result of the flaming command is the flaming command 3, when the flaming command 40 is displayed immediately above the horizontal holding pattern 36 in the holding area 103 three times and the flaming command detection result is the flaming command 4 The flame pattern 40 is displayed immediately above the horizontally-held reserved pattern 36 in the four-time reserved area 104.

  Prefetch results 1-2 are recorded in each of the prefetch result areas of the hold number 1 to the hold number 4 of the effect control circuit 70, and the change start command 04 or the change start is stored in any of the prefetch result areas of the hold number 1 to the hold number 4. When the first overflow command is transmitted from the main control circuit 50 in a state where the prefetching result 2 of the command 14 is recorded, the remaining time ST of the decoration symbol game is a dice effect time as shown in FIG. When the dice effect display process 1 is executed, the video of the dice effect 1 of FIG. 33 is displayed on the decorative symbol display 34, and the prefetch results 1-2 are not erased from the prefetch result area of the reserved number 4, and the overflow command Is transmitted again, on the condition that the remaining time ST of the decorative symbol game is equal to or longer than the dice effect time. Dice effect 2 video in Figure 35 is displayed by b effect display processing 2 is executed.

According to the said Example 3, there exist the following effects.
A condition in which the change start command 04 or the change start command 14 is recorded as the prefetch result 2 in any of the prefetch result areas of the holding numbers 1 to 4 and the condition that the remaining time ST of the decorative design game video is equal to or longer than the dice effect time When the condition that the overflow command is transmitted from the main control circuit 50 is satisfied, the notification effect video and the hold effect video are displayed in order. Each display of the notification effect video and the hold effect video is performed every time when three conditions are satisfied up to twice, and in the second hold effect video, the reserved picture 36 is in a state of burning from a horizontal orientation. Changed to For this reason, the player can enjoy an image in which the mode of the reserved picture 36 changes every time the notification effect image is displayed.

  In the third embodiment, it is determined that the change start command 04 or the change start command 14 is recorded as the prefetch result 2 in the prefetch result area of any of the holding numbers 1 to 4 in the dice effect start process 1 of FIG. If the counter value is compared with a pre-recorded determination value, the horizontal direction flag and the counter SN3 value are set and the horizontal command is transmitted when the counter value is determined to be the determination value. However, when it is determined that the counter value is not the determination value, the horizontal command may be transmitted without setting each of the horizontal flag and the value of the counter SN3. In other words, when the change start command 04 or the change start command 14 is recorded as the prefetch result 2 in any of the prefetch result areas of the hold numbers 1 to 4, the flame pattern 40 is directly above the horizontal hold pattern 36. The appearance video may be displayed with a certain probability (<1).

  In the third embodiment, when the change start command 04 or the change start command 14 is recorded as the prefetch result 2 in the prefetch result area of any of the holding numbers 1 to 4, the display count is set to three or more. It is also good. In the case of this configuration, it is preferable to change the hold picture 36 to a mode in which the hold pattern 36 is greatly increased in comparison with the previous hold effect image in the hold effect image of each time after the third time.

In each of the first to third embodiments, the change display of the dice pattern 38 is performed in a different order from (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (1). Also good.
In each of the above-described first to third embodiments, the display control circuit 80 changes the numbers (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5) (steps S432 in FIG. 32 and step S442 in FIG. 34). 6) (1)... Are cyclically variably displayed in a predetermined order. In step S433 in FIG. 32, the numerical image variation display is stopped according to the detection result of the horizontal command, and in step S443 in FIG. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the change display of the numerical pattern is stopped according to the detection result of the flame command.

  In each of the first to third embodiments, the display control circuit 80 changes the color of the reserved picture 36 from the normal color to the first color different from the normal color instead of changing the reserved picture 36 to the horizontal direction. Instead of burning the reserved picture 36, the color of the reserved picture 36 may be changed from the first color to the second color different from both the normal color and the first color.

  In each of the first to third embodiments, it is possible to determine whether or not the dice effect time (decoration pattern game remaining time ST + interval time) is less than or equal to step S119 in FIG. 13 and step S604 in FIG. good. This interval time is a waiting time from the end of the current special symbol game (decorative symbol game) to the start of the next special symbol game (decorative symbol game) when the special symbol game is on hold.

  23 is a special symbol start port (start port), 25 is a special winning port (special ball entrance), 34 is a decorative symbol display (display), 36 is a reserved pattern, 50 is a main control circuit (data memory, game data) Recording means, game data detecting means, game data processing means, game data erasing means) 70 is an effect control circuit (prefetching means, prefetching memory, prefetching result recording means, prefetching result erasing means, first condition judging means, second 80 is a display control circuit (holding display means, video display means), 101 is a once-holding area (holding area), 102 is a twice-holding area (holding area), and 103 is The 3-times reserved area (holding area) and 104 are the 4-times reserved area (holding area).
