The game stop state is a state in which neither the decorative symbol game nor the big hit game is performed. When the duration of the game stop state reaches the limit value, the fight mode 2 or the fight mode 3 is automatically changed to the fight mode 1. Reset to. In addition, when the player operates both the left switch 33 and the right switch 34 at the same time while the game is stopped, the duration measurement process is forcibly stopped, and the fighting mode 2 or the fighting mode 3 is reset to the fighting mode 1. Is prohibited.
[3] Internal processing of the main control circuit 50 [3-1] 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. In step S2, the setting state of the timer interrupt flag is determined. The timer interrupt flag is turned on by timer interrupt processing based on the CPU 51 receiving a pulse signal from the timer circuit 55. When the CPU 51 detects the timer interrupt flag being turned on in step S2, the CPU 51 executes step S3. 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 of step S6 is completed, the jackpot determination process of step S7 to the jackpot game process of step S12 are alternatively executed based on the set state of the main control flag, and the jackpot determination process of step S7 to step S12. When one of the big hit game processes is finished, the process returns to step S2. The main control flag is initially set to the jackpot determination process in the power-on process in step S1, and the CPU 51 proceeds to step S3 based on newly detecting the timer interrupt flag being turned on when returning to step S2. Transition.
[3-2] Input Processing FIG. 5 shows details of the input processing in step S4, and the CPU 51 determines the output state of the start signal from the output circuit 54 in step S21 in FIG. If it is determined that there is no start signal, the start signal flag is turned off in step S22. If it is determined that there is a start signal, the start signal flag is turned on in step S23. That is, when the game ball wins in the start port 24, a start signal is output from the output circuit 54, and the start signal flag is turned on.
[3-3] Counter Update Processing When the CPU 51 proceeds to the counter update processing in step S5 of FIG. 4, “1” is added to each of the measured values of the random counters R1 to R4. The addition contents of these random counters R1 to R4 are as follows.

(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) Random counter R3 corresponds to a random value for drawing whether or not a big hit has occurred, and is added to initial value “0” from initial value “0” and then returned to initial value “0” to circulate Is added to
(4) The random counter R4 corresponds to a random value for drawing a special symbol type when determining the jackpot, and is added from the initial value “0” to the upper limit value “19” and then returned to the initial value “0”. Is added cyclically.
[3-4] Data Acquisition Process FIG. 7 shows details of the data acquisition process 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 start port 24, the start signal flag is turned on in the 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 the 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 are for recording 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 recorded. When it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are not recorded 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 recorded in the reserved data area 1 in step S33 of FIG. 7, it determines whether or not the random counters R1 to R4 are recorded in the reserved data area 2 in step S35. To do. When it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are not recorded 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 recorded in the reserved data area 2 in step S35, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the random counters R1 to R4 are recorded in the reserved data area 3 in step S37. If it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are not recorded 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 determining that the random counters R1 to R4 are recorded in the reserved data area 3 in step S37, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the random counters R1 to R4 are recorded in the reserved data area 4 in step S39. When it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are not recorded 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 records of the random counters R 1 to R 4, and the game ball wins in the start port 24 with the upper limit set of random counters R 1 to R 4 recorded in the RAM 53. When this is done, the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R4 are cleared in step S41, and it is invalidated that the game ball has won in the start port 24.
[3-5] 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 recorded in the reserved data area 1 in step S51 of FIG. If it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are recorded in the reserved data area 1, the process proceeds to step S52 to determine the setting state of the probability variation flag. 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 each of the 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 sets the detection result of the random counter R4 to each of the ten probability fluctuation values “0 to 9”. Compare. 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 each of the five outlier 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.
[3-6] Fluctuation Pattern Setting Processing When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set in the variation pattern setting processing, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition processing in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the variation pattern setting processing 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 disconnection 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. FIG. 12 shows the contents recorded in the variation pattern table for big hits. Variation patterns P1 to P4 are set in the variation pattern table for big hits. Both times are set.

  When the CPU 51 selects the big hit variation pattern table in step S82 in FIG. 11, the CPU 51 detects the acquisition result of the random counter R1 from the reserved data area 1 in step S84, and the detection result of the random counter R1 from the big hit variation pattern table. Select a variation pattern for jackpot according to the response. Then, the process proceeds to step S85, and the variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern selection result is selected from the variation pattern table for big hits. 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 “60.0 sec” is selected.

  When the CPU 51 determines a missed reach or complete miss in the last big hit judging process, it judges that the big hit flag is turned off in step S81 of FIG. 11, and selects a fluctuation pattern table for coming off from the ROM 52 in step S83. In step S84, the acquisition result of the random counter R1 is detected from the hold data area 1, and the variation pattern for detachment is selected from the variation pattern table for detachment.

  FIG. 13 shows the recorded contents of the deviation variation pattern table, and variation patterns P5 to P9 different from the big hit variation pattern table are set in the deviation variation pattern table. Each of the fluctuation patterns P5 to P8 is for outreach to be selected at the time of determination of outreach, and the CPU 51 turns off the big hit flag and turns on the outreach flag when determining the outreach in the last big hit determination process. In step S84, the variation pattern P5 to P8 is selected according to the detection result of the random counter R1. Then, the process proceeds to step S85, and the variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern selection result is selected. The variation pattern P9 in FIG. 13 is for complete losing that is a selection target when determining complete losing. When the CPU 51 determines complete losing in the previous big hit determining process, the big hit flag is turned off and the detach reach flag is turned off in order. In step S84, the variation pattern P9 for complete deviation is selected regardless of the detection result of the random counter R1. Then, the process proceeds to step S85, and the variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern selection result is selected.

  When the CPU 51 selects the variation display time in step S85, the variation pattern selection result is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 as a variation pattern command in step S86. In step S87, the selection result of the variable display time is set in the timer T1, and the acquisition results of the random counters R1 to R4 recorded in the hold data area 1 are cleared in step S88.

When the CPU 51 clears the random counters R1 to R4 in the reserved data area 1 in step S88, it shifts the recorded data in the reserved data area 2 to the reserved data area 1 in step S89, and holds the recorded data in the reserved data area 3 in step S90. Shift to data area 2. In step S91, the recorded data in the reserved data area 4 is shifted to the reserved data area 3, and in step S92, a special symbol variation start process is set in the main control flag. In each of the reserved data area 1 to the reserved data area 4, default data is recorded in a state where the random counter R1 or the like is not stored, and the random counter R1 or the like is recorded in the reserved data area 2 to the reserved data area 4. When the random counter R1 is not stored, the default data is shifted when the random counter R1 is not stored.
[3-7] 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 process proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the special symbol variation start process in step S9. Transition. 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 in synchronization with the detection of 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 a special symbol variation start signal in step S101, the CPU 51 transmits a decorative symbol game 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 decorative symbol game start command corresponds to a decorative symbol game start command, and the production control circuit 70 starts the visual production of the decorative symbol game based on receiving the decorative symbol game 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.
[3-8] 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 process proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the special symbol fluctuation stop process in step S10. Transition. FIG. 15 shows the details of the special symbol fluctuation stopping process in step S10. The CPU 51 subtracts the set value ΔT (4 msec) from the measured value of the timer T1 in step S111 in FIG. Update remaining time. Then, the process proceeds to step S112, and the subtraction result of the timer T1 is compared with “0”. This special symbol game is performed in time synchronization with the decorative symbol game, and the remaining time of the special symbol game is the same as the remaining time of the decorative symbol game.

  When the CPU 51 detects that the subtraction result of the timer T1 is “0” in step S112, it determines the end of the special symbol game. Then, the process proceeds to step S113, and a special symbol fluctuation stop signal is output to the LED circuit 57. 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 the big hit determination process determines that the normal big hit is determined in the mode, and the special symbol is displayed when either the outreach reach or the complete loss is determined in the big hit determination process. The symbol is stopped and displayed in the manner of being out of FIG.

  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 game stop command to the effect control circuit 70 in step S114. This decoration symbol game 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 game 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. That is, the decorative symbol game starts in synchronization with the start of variation of the special symbol and ends in synchronization with the stop of variation of the special symbol, and the variation display time of the special symbol corresponds to the time required for the decorative symbol game.

When the CPU 51 transmits the decorative symbol game stop command in step S114, the wait time (2.0 sec) is set in the timer T2 in step S115. Then, the process proceeds to step S116, and wait processing is set in the main control flag. This wait time refers to the waiting time until the next special symbol game that is held when the special symbol game is held, and is recorded in the ROM 52 in advance.
[3-9] Wait Process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set to the wait process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 4 to the wait process in step S11. FIG. 16 shows details of the wait process in step S11. The CPU 51 updates the remaining wait time based on subtracting the set value ΔT (4 msec) from the measured value of the timer T2 in step S121 of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S122, and the subtraction result of the timer T2 is compared with “0”.

  When the CPU 51 detects that the subtraction result of the timer T2 is “0” in step S122, it determines the set state of the big hit flag in step S123. When it is determined that the big hit flag is off, the process proceeds to step S124, and the big hit determination process is set to the main control flag. Then, the process proceeds to step S125, and the recording states of the reserved data area 1 to the reserved data area 4 in the RAM 53 are determined. When it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are not recorded in any of the hold data area 1 to the hold data area 4, the process proceeds to step S126, and a game pause command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70. In other words, the game pause command is transmitted in a game stop state where there is no plan to start both the big hit game and the special symbol game when the special symbol game of this time is finished.

  When the CPU 51 determines that the big hit flag is turned on in step S123, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S127 and sets the big hit game process in the main control flag. Then, the process proceeds to step S128, and the number of big hit rounds (15) recorded in advance in the ROM 52 is set in the counter N1. The counter N1 measures the remaining number of big hit rounds. When the CPU 51 sets the big hit number in the counter N1 in step S128, the process proceeds to step S129, and the big hit round flag is turned off.

When the CPU 71 proceeds to step S130, the big hit flag is turned off. Then, the process proceeds to step S131, and the outreach flag is turned off.
[3-10] Jackpot Game Process When the CPU 51 detects that the main control flag is set to the jackpot game process, the CPU 51 proceeds from the data acquisition process in step S6 in FIG. 6 to the jackpot game process in step S12. FIG. 17 shows the details of the big hit game process in step S12, and the CPU 51 determines the set state of the big hit round flag in step S141. The jackpot round flag is turned on when the special prize opening is open and turned off when the special prize opening is closed. The CPU 51 turns off the jackpot round flag in step S141 before the first big hit round is started. Determination is made and the process proceeds to step S142.

  When proceeding to step S142, the CPU 51 sets the winning limit number (10) recorded in advance in the ROM 52 in the counter N2. This maximum number of winnings indicates the maximum number of game balls that can be won in the special winning opening in each big hit round. When the counter 51 is set in step S142, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S143, and the timer T3. Set the opening limit time (30.0 sec) to. This open limit time indicates the maximum time during which the special prize opening can be opened in each big hit round. When the timer T3 is set in step S143, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S144, and the solenoid circuit 56 An open signal is output to. Then, the solenoid circuit 56 turns on the special prize opening solenoid 29 when the release signal is given, and starts the first big hit round based on opening the special prize opening.

  When the CPU 51 outputs the release signal in step S144, it records that the first big hit round is started based on turning on the big hit round flag in step S145. And it transfers to step S146 and transmits the measured value of the counter N1 to the production | presentation control circuit 70. The counter N1 indicates the number of remaining big hit rounds. When the CPU 51 transmits the measurement value of the counter N1 to the effect control circuit 70 in step S146, it sends a big hit round start command in step S147. This jackpot round start command corresponds to a jackpot round presentation start command, and the stage control circuit 70 starts the video presentation of the jackpot round based on the reception of the jackpot round start command. 80, the sound control circuit 90 is instructed to start the sound effect of the big hit round, and the electric control circuit 100 is instructed to start the electric effect of the big hit round.

  When the first big hit round is started, the CPU 51 determines whether the big hit round flag is turned on in step S141, and subtracts the unit time (4 msec) from the measured value of the timer T3 in step S148, thereby releasing the remaining special winning opening. Update time. Then, the process proceeds to step S149, and the subtraction result of the timer T3 is compared with the limit value “0” recorded in advance in the ROM 52. If “T3 = 0” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S153 to output a closing signal to the solenoid circuit 56. Next, the process proceeds to step S154, and the big hit round flag is turned off. Then, the solenoid circuit 56 turns off the special winning opening solenoid 29 when the closing signal is given, and finishes the first big hit round based on closing the special winning opening.

  When the CPU 51 determines “T3> 0” in step S149, it determines whether or not there is a count signal from the count sensor 27 in step S150. If it is determined that there is a count signal from the count sensor 27, the process proceeds to step S151, and the unit number “1” recorded in advance in the ROM 52 is subtracted from the measured value of the counter N2. Then, the process proceeds to step S152, and the subtraction result of the counter N2 is compared with the limit value “0” recorded in advance in the ROM 52. Here, when “N2 = 0” is determined, the process proceeds to step S153, and the first big hit round is finished based on closing the special winning opening. Next, the process proceeds to step S154, and the big hit round flag is turned off.

  When the big hit round flag is turned off in step S154, the CPU 51 updates the remaining number of big hit rounds based on subtracting the unit amount “1” recorded in advance in the ROM 52 from the counter N1 in step S155. Then, the process proceeds to step S156, and the subtraction result of the counter N1 is compared with the limit value “0” recorded in advance in the ROM 52. When the first big hit round is completed, the CPU 51 determines “N1> 0” in step S156, and repeats steps S141 to S155. That is, each jackpot round ends when the opening time of the special prize opening reaches the opening limit value or the number of winning game balls reaches the winning limit value. Each of the round start commands is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 every time a big hit round is started.

  When finishing the final 15th big hit round, the CPU 51 determines “N1 = 0” in step S156. In step S157, a big hit game stop command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70, and in step S158, the main control flag is set to the big hit determination process. This jackpot game stop command corresponds to a jackpot game effect stop command, and the effect control circuit 70 stops the video effect of the final jackpot round based on detecting the jackpot game stop command. The design control circuit 80 is instructed, the sound control circuit 90 is instructed to stop the sound production of the final jackpot round, and the electrical control is performed to stop the electrical production of the last jackpot round. Instruct the circuit 100.

When the CPU 51 sets the main control flag to the big hit determination process in step S158, the CPU 51 determines the recording states of the reserved data area 1 to the reserved data area 4 in the RAM 53 in step S159. When it is determined that the random counters R1 to R4 are not recorded in any of the hold data area 1 to the hold data area 4, the process proceeds to step S160, and a game pause command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70. That is, the game pause command is transmitted even in a game stop state in which the special symbol game is not scheduled to start when the big hit game is finished.
[4] Internal Process of Effect Control Circuit 70 [4-1] Main Process 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 process of 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 2 in step S205, the password process in step S206, and the command process in step S207 are executed in this order.
[4-2] INT Interrupt Processing When receiving the strobe signal (INT signal) from the main control circuit 50, the CPU 71 of the effect control circuit 70 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 S211 of FIG. 19, 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 in the command waiting process in the power-on process in step S201, and FIG. 20 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.

The flag is set in the variation pattern command processing, and when the decorative symbol game start command is received, the command processing flag is set in the decorative symbol game start command processing. Also, when a decorative symbol game stop command is received, the command processing flag is set to the decorative symbol game stop command processing, and when a big hit round start command is received, the command processing flag is set to the big hit round start command processing, and the big hit game stop command is set. Is received, the command processing flag is set to the big hit game stop command process, and when the game stop command is received, the command processing flag is set to the command waiting process.
[4-3] Counter update process 1
FIG. 21 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. 22, 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. 21, the first digit and the third digit of the update result of the random counter R11 are compared in step S222. If it is detected that the two are different from each other, the process proceeds to step S223, 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. 22, the complete out symbol area stores basic data of complete out symbols having different left and right columns. The stored data in the complete out symbol area is stored in the next step S223. Updated.

When the CPU 71 detects that the first digit and the third digit of the random counter R11 are the same in step S222 in FIG. 21, the CPU 71 compares the first digit and the second digit of the random counter R11 in step S224. If it is detected that the two are different, the process proceeds to step S225, and the update result of the random counter R11 is stored in the outlier reach symbol area of the RAM 73. That is, as shown in FIG. 22, the outreach symbol area stores basic data of outreach symbols with the same left column and right column but different middle columns. It is updated in the next step S225.
[4-4] Counter update process 2
When the CPU 71 proceeds to the counter update process 2 in step S205 of FIG. 18, the CPU 71 adds “1” to each of the measurement value of the random counter R12 and the measurement value of the random counter R13. The random counter R12 corresponds to a random value for drawing a jackpot symbol, and is added from the initial value “0” to the upper limit value “7”, then returned to the initial value “0” and added cyclically. The random counter R13 corresponds to a random value for drawing a password for the fighting mode 2 and a password for the fighting mode 3, and the initial value “0” is added to the upper limit value “30” after the initial value “0”. It returns to 0 and is added cyclically.
[4-5] Password Processing FIG. 23 shows the details of the password processing in step S206 in FIG. 18, and the CPU 71 determines the setting state of the game pause flag in step S231 in FIG. When it is determined that the game pause flag is turned off, the process proceeds to step S232, and it is determined whether or not the reception result of the game pause command is recorded in the RAM 73. This game pause command is transmitted by the main control circuit 50 in the game stop state. When the CPU 71 determines that the reception result of the game pause command is recorded in the RAM 73 in step S232, the process proceeds to step S233. Here, the game pause flag is turned on, and the reception result of the game pause command in the RAM 73 is cleared in step S234. Then, the process proceeds to step S235, and a reset waiting time (120 sec) is set in the timer T11. This reset waiting time is recorded in advance in the ROM 72 and refers to a waiting time for resetting the effect mode to the initial fighting mode 1.

  In the game stop state, the CPU 71 determines that the game pause flag is turned on in step S231, and determines the setting state of the screen display flag in step S236. The screen display flag is turned on when the password input screen is displayed and turned off when the password input screen is not displayed. The CPU 71 determines whether the screen display flag is turned off in step S236 when the password input screen is not displayed. Then, the process proceeds to step S237, and the operation state of the left switch 33 is determined. If it is determined that the left switch 33 is off, the process proceeds to step S238, and the setting result of the counter N11 is compared with “1”. This counter N11 indicates the current setting state of the production mode, and is set to “1” in the setting state of the fighting mode 1, set to “2” in the setting state of the fighting mode 2, and the setting of the fighting mode 3 Set to "3" in state. The counter N11 is initially set to “1” in the power-on process in step S201 of FIG. 18, and the fighting mode 1 is set when the power is turned on.

  When either the fighting mode 2 or the fighting mode 3 is set, the CPU 71 determines that “N11 = 1” is not satisfied in step S238 of FIG. 23, proceeds to step S239, and determines the setting state of the break flag. This break flag is initially set to the off state by the power-on process in step S201 in FIG. 18, and the player turns both the left switch 33 and the right switch 34 without displaying the password input screen in the game stop state. It is turned on based on simultaneous operation and turned off based on the start of a decorative symbol game.

  When the CPU 71 determines in step S239 in FIG. 23 that the break flag is turned off, the unit time ΔT (4 msec) recorded in advance in the ROM 72 is subtracted from the measured value of the timer T11 in step S240. Then, the process proceeds to step S241, and the subtraction result of the timer T11 is compared with the limit value “0” recorded in advance in the ROM 72. If “T11 = 0” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S242, and the effect mode is reset to the fighting mode 1 based on setting “1” to the counter N11. That is, in the state where the production mode is set to either the fighting mode 2 or the fighting mode 3, the password input screen is not displayed and both the left switch 33 and the right switch 34 are not operated simultaneously, and the game is stopped. Is continued for the reset waiting time, the production mode is automatically reset to the fighting mode 1 when the power is turned on.

  When the CPU 71 resets the effect mode to the fighting mode 1 in step S242, the CPU 71 transmits a reset command to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S243. Then, the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 receives the reset command and transmits the reset command to the VDP 84. Immediately before the reset command is transmitted from the effect control circuit 70, as shown in FIG. 25A, the decorative symbol display 32 displays a symbol element in the left column, a symbol element in the middle column, and a symbol element in the right column. Is displayed in combination with the combination when the previous decorative symbol game ends, and the VDP 84 selects display data corresponding to the reset command from the VROM 85 based on the reception of the reset command, and FIG. As shown in the figure, the symbol 110 of the message “the production mode has been reset to the fighting mode 1” is displayed on the decorative symbol display 32 based on the selection result of the display data.

  When the CPU 71 determines that the left switch 33 is turned on in step S237 of FIG. 23, the CPU 71 determines the operation state of the right switch 34 in step S244. For example, when the player operates both the left switch 33 and the right switch 34 simultaneously, the CPU 71 determines that the right switch 34 is turned on in step S244, and turns on the break flag in step S245. When the break flag is on, the timer T11 is not subtracted in step S240, and “T11 = 0” is not determined in step S241. That is, when the player operates both the left switch 33 and the right switch 34 without displaying the password input screen in a state where the production mode is set to either the fighting mode 2 or the fighting mode 3, the game is stopped. Even when the duration continues for the reset waiting time, the production mode is maintained in either the current fighting mode 2 or the fighting mode 3.

  When the CPU 71 turns on the break flag in step S245, the CPU 71 transmits a break command to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S246. Then, the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 receives the break command and transmits the break command to the VDP 84. Immediately before this break command is transmitted from the effect control circuit 70, as shown in FIG. 25A, the decorative symbol display 32 displays the symbol elements in the left column, the symbol elements in the middle column, and the symbol elements in the right column. Is stopped and displayed in combination with the end of the previous decorative symbol game, and the VDP 84 selects display data corresponding to the break command from the VROM 85 based on the reception of the break command. As shown in the drawing, a symbol 111 of a message “Please make a break slowly because the production mode is not reset” is displayed on the decorative symbol display 32 based on the selection result of the display data.

  When the player operates only the left switch 33 while the password input screen is not displayed, the CPU 71 determines whether the left switch 237 is turned on in step S237 of FIG. 23, and determines that the right switch 34 is turned off in step S244. In step S247, the initial value “1” previously recorded in the ROM 72 is set in the counter N12. In step S248, the initial value “1” previously recorded in the ROM 72 is set in the counter N13. Next, a setting result “1” of the counter N13 is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S249, a screen display command is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S250, and a screen display flag is turned on in step S251.

  When receiving the screen display command from the effect control circuit 70, the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 transmits each of the reception result of the counter N13 and the screen display command to the VDP 84. Immediately before this screen display command is transmitted from the effect control circuit 70, as shown in FIG. 25A, the decorative symbol display 32 displays a symbol element in the left column, a symbol element in the middle column, and a symbol in the right column. The elements are stopped and displayed in the combination when the previous decorative symbol game is finished, and the VDP 84 receives the screen display command, and then the symbol elements in the left column, the middle column, and the right column Erase each one.

  When the VDP 84 deletes each of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column, as shown in FIG. 25 (d), “1” “2” “3” “4” “5” “6” “7” "8" input key symbol 112 and one erase key symbol 113 are displayed. The erase key symbol 113 is for erasing the password input screen, each input key symbol 112 is for inputting a password, and each input key symbol 112 is a decorative symbol game. Display data to be used when displaying the symbol elements is selected from the VROM 85 and displayed based on the selection result of the display data. Each of these eight input key symbols 112 and one erase key symbol 113 has a display position, as shown in FIG. 27A, and the VDP 84 has an input key “1”. Is displayed at the display position A1, the symbol 112 of the input key “2” is displayed at the display position A2, the symbol 112 of the input key “3” is displayed at the display position A3, and “4” is input. A key symbol 112 is displayed at display position A4, an input key symbol 112 of "5" is displayed at display position A5, an input key symbol 112 of "6" is displayed at display position A6, and "7" The input key design 112 is displayed at the display position A7, the input key design 112 of "8" is displayed at the display position A8, and the erase key design 113 is displayed at the display position A9. Symbol 112 and symbol 1 for one erase key 3 to display in a horizontal row. Each of the display positions A1 to A9 is assigned a counter N13 as shown in FIG. 27B, and the VDP 84 has eight input key symbols 112 and one erase key symbol 113. When displayed in a horizontal row, one corresponding to the reception result of the counter N13 is selected from the display positions A1 to A9, and the frame symbol 114 is displayed in the selection result of the display position. In this case, the display position A1 corresponding to the reception result “1” of the counter N13 is selected, and based on the fact that the frame symbol 114 is displayed at the display position A1, as shown in FIG. The symbol 112 of the input key “1” is surrounded by the symbol 114 of the frame.

  When the VDP 84 displays the frame symbol 114, the left switch symbol 115 and the right switch symbol 116 are displayed side by side in the left-right direction on the decorative symbol display 32 as shown in FIG. The three of the input area 117 of the eye, the input area 118 of the second digit, and the input area 119 of the third digit are displayed side by side in the left-right direction. Then, the symbol 120 of the “decision” message is displayed above the symbol 115 of the left switch, and the symbol 121 of the message “selection” is displayed above the symbol 116 of the right switch. Each of the left switch symbol 115 to the message symbol 121 is displayed based on display data recorded in advance in the VROM 85, and the player operates the right switch 34 to input the symbol 112. Can be known from the right switch symbol 116 and the “select” message symbol 121, and the input key symbol 112 can be determined based on the operation of the left switch 33. It can be known from the symbol 120 of the “decision” message.

  In the password input screen display state, the CPU 71 determines that the screen display flag is turned on in step S236 of FIG. 23, and proceeds to the password input process in step S252. FIG. 24 shows the details of the password input process in step S252. The CPU 71 determines the operation state of the right switch 34 in step S261 in FIG. If it is determined that the right switch 34 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S262, and “1” is added to the measured value of the counter N13. Then, the process proceeds to step S263, and the addition result of the counter N13 is compared with the maximum value “9” recorded in advance in the ROM 72. If “N13> 9” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S264, and the counter N13 is set to “1”. That is, the counter N13 is incremented by “1” every time the player operates the right switch 34 in the password input screen display state, and when it is added to the maximum value “9”, it is reset to “1”. It is added cyclically.

  When proceeding to step S265, the CPU 71 transmits the addition result of the counter N13 to the symbol control circuit 80. Then, the process proceeds to step S266, and a frame movement command is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80. When receiving the frame movement command, the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 selects a display position corresponding to the reception result of the counter N13 from the display positions A1 to A9, and transmits the display position selection result to the VDP 84. Then, the VDP 84 moves the frame symbol 114 to the display position selection result.

  The display position A1 is set to a position that surrounds the input key symbol 112 whose frame symbol 114 is “1”, and the display position A2 is set to a position that surrounds the input key symbol 112 whose frame symbol 114 is “2”. The display position A3 is set to a position that surrounds the input key symbol 112 whose frame symbol 114 is “3”, and the display position A4 is a position that surrounds the input key symbol 112 whose frame symbol 114 is “4”. The display position A5 is set to a position that surrounds the input key symbol 112 whose frame symbol 114 is "5", and the display position A6 is the symbol 112 of the input key whose frame symbol 114 is "6". The display position A7 is set to a position surrounding the input key symbol 112 whose frame symbol 114 is "7", and the display position A8 is the input key symbol 112 whose frame symbol 114 is "8". Display position A The symbol 114 of the frame is set at a position surrounding the pattern 113 of the erase key. That is, when the player operates the right switch 34 while the password input screen is displayed, the frame symbol 114 moves to the right in units of one starting from the symbol 112 of the first “1” input key. When it reaches the symbol 113 of the erasure key, it returns to the symbol 112 of the first “1” input key.

  When the CPU 71 determines that the right switch 34 is turned off in step S261 in FIG. 24, the CPU 71 determines the operation state of the left switch 33 in step S267. If it is determined that the left switch 33 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S268, and the measured value of the counter N13 is compared with the limit value “9” recorded in the ROM 72 in advance. When “N13 = 9” is determined in step S268, a screen deletion command is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S290, and the screen display flag is turned off in step S291. Then, the process proceeds to step S292. When the first digit input result of the password is recorded in the RAM 73, the first digit input result is cleared, and when the second digit input result of the password is recorded in the RAM 73. The input result of the second digit is cleared. When the input result of the third digit of the password is recorded in the RAM 73, the input result of the third digit is cleared.

  When the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 receives the screen erasure command, it transmits it to the VDP 84. When the VDP 84 receives the screen erasure command, the password input screen is displayed with eight input key symbols 112 and one erase key symbol 113. The frame symbol 114, the left switch symbol 115, the right switch symbol 116, the first digit input region 117, the second digit input region 118, the third digit input region 119, the message symbol 120, and the message symbol 121. The symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column, which are deleted together with the previous decorative symbol game, are displayed instead of the password input screen. That is, when the player moves the symbol 114 of the frame to the symbol 113 of the delete key while the password input screen is displayed and operates the left switch 33, the password input screen is deleted.

  When the CPU 71 determines that “N13 = 9” is not satisfied in step S268 of FIG. 24, the setting result of the counter N12 is compared with the first comparison value “1” recorded in advance in the ROM 72 in step S269. This counter N12 indicates the current password input state, and the CPU 71 determines “N12 = 1” in step S269 when none of the first, second and third digits of the password is input. The process proceeds to step S270. Here, the measurement value of the counter N13 is detected, and the detection result of the counter N13 is recorded in the RAM 73 as the first digit input result of the password. For example, when the player operates the right switch 34 and the frame symbol 114 is set to the symbol 112 of the input key “5”, the counter N13 is incremented to “5”, and the player receives the symbol of the frame. When the left switch 33 is operated with 114 set to the input key symbol 112 of “5”, “5” is recorded in the RAM 73 as the input result of the first digit of the password.

  When the CPU 71 records the input result of the first digit of the password in step S270, the CPU 71 transmits the measured value of the counter N13 to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S271. In step S272, the password display command 1 is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80. In step S273, "2" is set in the counter N12. Each of the measurement values “1” to “8” of the counter N13 is assigned numeric data as shown in FIG. 27C, and the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 receives the password display command 1. When this is done, the numeric data corresponding to the reception result of the counter N13 is selected from the control data in FIG. Then, the VDP 84 selects the data corresponding to the reception result of the numeric data from the display data used when displaying the symbol elements of each column in the decorative symbol game, and the display as shown in FIG. By displaying the data selection result in the first digit input area 117, the player is notified of the first digit input result of the password.

  When the player operates the left switch 33 again after inputting the first digit of the password, the CPU 71 determines again that the left switch 33 is turned on in step S267 of FIG. 24, and sets the measured value of the counter N13 to “9” in step S268. " If “N13 = 9” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S 290, and a screen erase command is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80. That is, the password input screen is also erased when the player inputs the first digit of the password and operates the left switch 33 with the frame symbol 114 aligned with the symbol 113 of the delete key.

  If the CPU 71 determines that “N13 = 9” is not satisfied in step S268, the CPU 71 compares the setting result of the counter N12 with the first comparison value “1” in step S269. For example, when the first digit of the password is input, it is determined that “N12 = 1” is not satisfied, and the setting result of the counter N12 is compared with the second comparison value “2” recorded in advance in the ROM 72 in step S274. . In this case, “N12 = 2” is determined, the process proceeds to step S275, and the measured value of the counter N13 is recorded in the RAM 73 as the second digit input result of the password.

  When the CPU 71 records the input result of the second digit of the password in step S275, the CPU 71 transmits the measured value of the counter N13 to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S276. In step S277, the password display command 2 is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80. In step S278, "3" is set in the counter N12. When receiving the password display command 2, the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 selects numeric data corresponding to the reception result of the counter N 13 from the control data of FIG. 27C, and the numeric data selection result and password display command are displayed in the VDP 84. Send each of the two. Then, the VDP 84 selects the data corresponding to the reception result of the numeric data from the display data used when displaying the symbol elements of each column in the decorative symbol game, and the display is performed as shown in FIG. By displaying the data selection result in the input area 118 of the second digit, the player is notified of the input result of the second digit of the password.

  When the player operates the left switch 33 again after inputting the second digit of the password, the CPU 71 determines that the left switch 33 is turned on in step S267 of FIG. 24, and sets the measured value of the counter N13 to “9” in step S268. Compare. If “N13 = 9” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S 290, and a screen erase command is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80. That is, the password input screen is also deleted when the player inputs the second digit of the password and operates the left switch 33 with the frame symbol 114 aligned with the symbol 113 of the delete key.

  If the CPU 71 determines that “N13 = 9” is not satisfied in step S268, the CPU 71 compares the setting result of the counter N12 with the first comparison value “1” in step S269. For example, when the first and second digits of the password are input, it is determined in step S269 that “N12 = 1” is not satisfied, and in step S274, the setting result of the counter N12 is set to the second comparison value “2”. Compare with Here, it is determined that “N12 = 2” is not satisfied, and in step S279, the measured value of the counter N13 is recorded in the RAM 73 as the input result of the third digit of the password.

  When the CPU 71 records the input result of the third digit of the password in step S279, the CPU 71 transmits the measured value of the counter N13 to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S280. In step S281, the password display command 3 is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80, and the process proceeds to step S282. When the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 receives the password display command 3, it selects numeric data corresponding to the reception result of the counter N13 from the control data of FIG. 27 (c), and selects the numeric data selection result and password display command in the VDP 84. Each of 3 is transmitted. Then, the VDP 84 selects the data corresponding to the reception result of the numeric data from the display data used when displaying the symbol elements of each column in the decorative symbol game, and the display is performed as shown in FIG. By displaying the data selection result in the input area 119 of the third digit, the player is notified of the input result of the third digit of the password.

  When the CPU 71 proceeds to step S282 in FIG. 24, the RAM 73 detects the first digit input result, the second digit input result, and the third digit input result from the RAM 73, and records the password input result in the ROM 72 in advance. Each of the plurality of passwords for the fighting mode 2 and the plurality of passwords for the fighting mode 3 is compared. This password comparison processing is performed by comparing each of the first digit input result to the third digit input result of the password with the same digit of the password recorded in the ROM 72 in advance, as shown in FIG. ) Is a list of a plurality of passwords for the fighting mode 2, and FIG. 58B shows a list of a plurality of passwords for the fighting mode 3.

  If the CPU 71 determines in step S282 in FIG. 24 that the password input result is different from any of the plurality of passwords for the fighting mode 2 and the plurality of passwords for the fighting mode 3 recorded in the ROM 72 in advance, the step In S283, an error command is transmitted to the symbol control circuit 80. When receiving the error command, the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 transmits the error command to the VDP 84. Then, the VDP 84 selects display data corresponding to the error command from the VROM 85 and, as shown in FIG. 26 (d), “Please enter the password correctly on the decorative symbol display 32 based on the selection result of the display data. ”Is displayed. That is, when the player does not input the password correctly, it is notified that the password input result is incorrect.

  When the CPU 71 transmits an error command to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S283 in FIG. 24, the CPU 71 transmits a password deletion command to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S284. When receiving the password deletion command, the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 transmits the password deletion command to the VDP 84. Then, the VDP 84 displays the input result of the first digit of the password displayed in the first digit input area 117 and the second digit input area 118 as shown in FIG. Each of the input result of the second digit of the existing password and the input result of the third digit of the password displayed in the input area 119 of the third digit are deleted.

  When the CPU 71 transmits a password deletion command to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S284 in FIG. 24, the CPU 71 sets an initial value “1” in the counter N12 in step S285, and in step S292, the first digit recording result of the password and the second digit. And the third digit recording result are cleared from the RAM 73. When the password is erroneously entered, the password entry screen is not erased, and the player can newly enter the password from the first digit based on the operation of the left switch 33 and the right switch 34.

  In the ROM 72 of the effect control circuit 70, a password table is recorded as shown in FIG. This password table shows the correlation between each of a plurality of passwords that can be issued by the CPU 71 and the production mode. When it is determined that the password is the same as one of the plurality of passwords and the plurality of passwords for the fighting mode 3, the process proceeds to step S286, and the effect mode corresponding to the password input result is selected from the control data of FIG. For example, when the first digit input result of the password is “5”, the second digit input result is “2”, and the third digit input result is “7”, the fighting mode 2 is selected.

  When CPU 71 selects the effect mode in step S286 of FIG. 24, CPU 71 changes the setting result of counter N11 in accordance with the selection result of effect mode in step S286. For example, when the fighting mode 2 is selected, the production mode is changed to the fighting mode 2 based on setting “2” to the counter N11, and when the fighting mode 3 is selected, “3” is set to the counter N11. Change the production mode to the fighting mode 3.

  When the effect mode is changed in step S287, the CPU 71 transmits the setting result of the counter N11 to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S288, and transmits a mode change command to the symbol control circuit 80 in step S289. When the CPU 81 of the symbol control circuit 80 receives “2” as the counter N11, it transmits the fighting mode command 2 to the VDP 84 based on receiving the mode change command, and receives “3” as the counter N11. Sometimes the fight mode command 3 is sent to the VDP 84 based on receiving the mode change command. When the VDP 84 receives the fighting mode command 2, the VDP 84 selects display data corresponding to the fighting mode command 2 from the VROM 85. As shown in FIG.

The symbol element corresponding to the acquisition result of the random counter R12 is selected from the table, and the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column are set as the symbol element selection results. For example, when the acquisition result of the random counter R12 is “6”, “8” is selected as the symbol element, and the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column are all set to “8”. The decorative symbol is set to the jackpot combination “888”. In this normal jackpot symbol table, four types of symbol elements “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” are set, and when the main control circuit 50 determines a normal jackpot, the decorative symbol is an even number. The combination is set to any one of “222”, “444”, “666”, and “888”.

  When the CPU 71 determines in step S316 in FIG. 30 that the command detection result is different from the normal jackpot command, in step S319, the CPU 71 detects the command detection result and compares it with the reach command. If it is determined that the command detection result is an outreach command, the process proceeds to step S320, and the measurement value of the random counter R11 is acquired from the outreach symbol area of the RAM 73. Then, “1” is added to each of the third digit, the second digit, and the first digit of the detection result of the random counter R11, the symbol element of the left column is set as the addition result of the third digit, and the symbol of the middle column is set. The element is set to the addition result of the second digit, and the symbol element in the right column is set to the addition result of the first digit. For example, when the third digit of the random counter R11 is “1”, the symbol element in the left column is set to “2”, and when the second digit of the random counter R11 is “0”, the symbol element in the middle column is “1”. When the first digit of the random counter R11 is “1”, the symbol element in the right column is set to “2”, and the decorative symbol is set to the combination “212” of the outlier.

  If the CPU 71 determines in step S319 in FIG. 30 that the command detection result is different from the detach reach command, the CPU 71 determines that the command is a complete detach command. In this case, the process proceeds to step S321, and the measurement value of the random counter R11 is acquired from the completely out of symbol area of the RAM 73. Then, “1” is added to each of the third digit, the second digit, and the first digit of the detection result of the random counter R11, the symbol element of the left column is set as the addition result of the third digit, and the symbol of the middle column is set. The element is set to the addition result of the second digit, and the symbol element in the right column is set to the addition result of the first digit. For example, when the third digit of the random counter R11 is “1”, the symbol element of the left column is set to “2”, and when the second digit of the random counter R11 is “7”, the symbol element of the middle column is “8”. When the first digit of the random counter R11 is “3”, the symbol element in the right column is set to “4”, and the decoration symbol is set to the completely out-of-combination combination “284”.

The When the player inputs the password by operating each of the left switch 33 and the right switch 34, the password input result is identified, and the password identification result is a plurality of passwords for the fighting mode 2 and a plurality of passwords for the fighting mode 3. Compared with each of the passwords. When it is determined that the identification result of the password is the same as one of the plurality of passwords for the fighting mode 2, the effect mode is changed from the fighting mode 1 to the fighting mode 2. When the game ball wins in the start port 24 in the fighting mode 2 setting state, video data is selected from the video data V12 to V92, and the wrestler 2 and the wrestler 2 different from the wrestler 1 based on the selection result of the video data are selected. An effect video in which both wrestlers 4 appear is displayed on the decorative symbol display 32 together with a video of the decorative symbol game. For this reason, the password selection result is displayed on the decorative symbol display 32 when five probable big hits are continuously determined immediately before the pachinko hall is closed. The player stores the password, and when the password storage result is input when the pachinko hall business is resumed next time, the effect mode is changed from the fighting mode 1 to the fighting mode 2. Therefore, even if five probable big hits are continuously determined immediately before the pachinko hall business is closed, the player can be sure to play in the fight mode 2 when the pachinko hall business is resumed. Therefore, it is possible to fully enjoy the production image in which both the wrestler 2 and the wrestler 4 appear. Moreover, since the password input screen is displayed using the display data for displaying the symbol elements in the decorative symbol game video, the amount of data required to display the password input screen is reduced due to the influence of the password input screen being displayed. A significant increase is suppressed.

  When a game stop state in which neither the big hit game nor the decorative symbol game is performed at the time of setting the fighting mode 2 occurs, the duration T11 of the game stop state is measured, and the measurement result of the duration T11 is a predetermined limit value. When subtracted to “0”, the fight mode 2 was automatically reset to the fight mode 1. For this reason, when another player plays a game after the player has finished playing and the production mode is set to the fighting mode 2, the game board continues until the duration T11 of the game stop state reaches the limit value. Since the production mode can be reset to the fighting mode 1 by not firing the game ball in the 18 game areas 22, even when the production mode is set to the fighting mode 2, the player's intention Then, the production mode can be returned to the initial fighting mode 1 and the game can be started.

  When the left switch 33 and the right switch 34 were operated at the same time in the fighting mode 2 setting state, the timing operation for the duration T11 was stopped despite the game being stopped. Therefore, when the player operates the left switch 33 and the right switch 34 at the same time in the fighting mode 2 setting state, the measurement result of the duration T11 is not subtracted to the limit value “0”. When taking a break in the setting state 2, the production mode can be maintained in the current fighting mode 2 by one's intention.
