Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a glass door frame 2 formed in a frame shape that is provided in the game frame so as to be opened and closed. The game frame includes a front frame (not shown) installed to be openable and closable with respect to the outer frame, a mechanism plate to which mechanism parts and the like are attached, and various parts attached to them (excluding a game board described later). Is a structure including

  As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a glass door frame 2 formed in a frame shape. On the lower surface of the glass door frame 2 is a hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 3. Under the hitting ball supply tray 3, there are provided an extra ball receiving tray 4 for storing game balls that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball supply tray 3 and a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 5 for firing the game balls. A game board 6 is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 2. The game board 6 is a structure including a plate-like body constituting the game board 6 and various components attached to the plate-like body. A game area 7 is formed on the front surface of the game board 6.

  Near the center of the game area 7, there is provided a variable display device (decorative symbol display device) 9 including a plurality of variable display units each displaying a decorative symbol for effect. The fluctuation display device 9 has, for example, three fluctuation display portions (symbol display areas) of “left”, “middle”, and “right”. The variation display device 9 performs a variation display of a decorative symbol as a symbol for decoration (production) during the variation display period of the special symbol by the special symbol indicator 8. The variable display device 9 for performing variable display of decorative symbols is controlled by a display control microcomputer 800 (see FIG. 5) mounted on a display control board 80 described later. In addition, a special symbol display device (special symbol display device) 8 that variably displays special symbols as a plurality of types of identification information that can be distinguished from each other is provided at the top of the variable display device 9.

  Below the variable display device 9 are provided four special symbol hold memory indicators 18 for displaying the number of effective winning balls that have entered the start winning opening 14, that is, the number of hold memories (also referred to as start memory or start prize memory). ing. The special symbol reservation storage display 18 displays up to four reservation storage numbers in the order of winning. The special symbol hold storage display 18 increases the number of LEDs in the lit state by 1 each time there is a start winning in the start winning opening 14. Then, each time the special symbol display 8 starts the variable display, the special symbol hold storage indicator 18 decreases the number of LEDs in the lit state (that is, turns off one LED). Specifically, the special symbol hold storage display 18 shifts the lighting state every time the special symbol display 8 starts the variable display. In this example, the upper limit number (up to 4) is provided for the number of starting memories by winning to the start winning opening 14, but the upper limit number may be four or more.

  The special symbol display 8 is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7-segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0 to 6, for example. The special symbol display 8 may be configured to display various numbers such as 0 to 99 in a variable manner in order to make it difficult for the player to grasp a specific stop symbol. In addition, the variable display device 9 is used for decoration (for production) as a plurality of types of identification information that can identify each of the three variable display units during the special symbol variable display period by the special symbol display 8. A decorative display composed of numbers 0 to 5 as symbols is displayed.

  Below the variable display device 9, a variable winning ball device 15 that forms a start winning opening 14 is provided. The winning ball that has entered the start winning opening 14 is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the start opening switch 14a. The variable winning ball device 15 is opened by a solenoid 16.

  Below the variable winning ball apparatus 15, a special variable winning ball apparatus 20 using an opening / closing plate that is controlled to be opened by the solenoid 21 in the big hit gaming state as the specific gaming state is provided. The special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is a means for opening and closing the big winning opening. Of the winning balls that are won in the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 and guided to the back of the game board 6, the winning ball that has entered one (V winning area: special area) is detected by the V winning switch 22 and then counted by the count switch 23. The game ball that has been detected and entered the other region is detected by the count switch 23 as it is. On the back of the game board 6, a solenoid 21A for switching the route in the special winning opening is also provided.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, the display change display of the normal symbol display 10 that changes the normal symbol as a plurality of types of identification information is started. In this embodiment, the left and right lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized at the time of lighting) are alternately turned on to perform the variable display. For example, if the left lamp is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a hit. When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 10 is a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times. In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 10, a normal symbol start memory display 41 having a display unit with four LEDs for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32 is provided. Each time there is a game ball passing through the gate 32, the normal symbol start memory display 41 increases the number of LEDs to be turned on by one. Then, each time the variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started, the number of LEDs to be lit is reduced by one.

  The game board 6 is provided with a plurality of winning holes 29, 30, 33, 39, and winning of game balls to the winning holes 29, 30, 33, 39 is performed by winning hole switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a, respectively. Detected. Each winning opening 29, 30, 33, 39 constitutes a winning area provided in the game board 6 as an area for accepting game media and allowing winning. The start winning opening 14 and the big winning opening also constitute a winning area that accepts game media and allows winning. Around the left and right of the game area 7, there are provided decorative lamps 25 blinking and displayed during the game, and at the lower part there is an outlet 26 for absorbing a game ball that has not won a prize. In addition, two speakers 27 that emit sound effects according to the game, such as whether or not the game state is a big hit or will be described later, are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. ing. On the outer periphery of the game area 7, a top frame lamp 28a, a left frame lamp 28b, and a right frame lamp 28c are provided. Further, a decoration LED is installed around each structure (such as a big prize opening) in the game area 7. The top frame lamp 28a, the left frame lamp 28b, the right frame lamp 28c, and the decoration LED are an example of a decoration light-emitting body provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and change whether or not the gaming state is a big hit, which will be described later. It emits light along with the game, such as whether or not it is inside.

  In this example, a prize ball lamp 51 that is lit during award ball payout is provided in the vicinity of the left frame lamp 28b, and a ball break lamp 52 that is lit when the supply ball is cut in the vicinity of the top frame lamp 28a. Is provided. Further, a prepaid card unit (hereinafter referred to as “card unit”) 50 that enables lending a ball by inserting a prepaid card is installed adjacent to the pachinko gaming machine 1. Lighting control (lamp control) of light emitting means such as various decorative LEDs, decorative lamp 25, ceiling lamp 28a, left frame lamp 28b, and right frame lamp 28c, and sound generation control (sound control) from the sound output means of speaker 27 Is controlled by a sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 (see FIG. 5) mounted on a sound / lamp control board 70 described later.

  The card unit 50 includes, for example, a usable indicator lamp that indicates whether or not the card unit 50 is in a usable state, a connecting table direction indicator that indicates which side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 corresponds to the card unit, and a card unit. When checking the card insertion indicator lamp indicating that a card is inserted in the card, the card insertion slot into which the card as a recording medium is inserted, and the card reader / writer mechanism provided on the back of the card insertion slot A card unit lock for releasing the card unit is provided.

  A game ball launched from the ball striking device by the player's operation enters the game area 7 through the hit ball rail, and then descends the game area 7. When the game ball enters the start winning port 14 and is detected by the start port switch 14a, the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 starts to be displayed in a variable state (variation) if the variation display of the symbol can be started. If the symbol display cannot be started, the number of reserved memories is increased by one.

  The special symbol change display on the special symbol display 8 stops when a certain time has elapsed. If the special symbol (stop symbol) at the time of stoppage is a jackpot symbol (specific display result), the game shifts to a jackpot gaming state. That is, the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is released until a predetermined time elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of gaming balls wins. Then, when the game ball is won in the V winning area and is detected by the V winning switch 22 while the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened, the continuation right is generated and the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is allowed a predetermined number of times. In the present embodiment, the continuation right is allowed up to 15 times in the case of 15 round jackpots generated by stopping the 15 round jackpot symbol (15R jackpot symbol) to be described later, and the 2 round jackpot symbol (2R jackpot symbol to be described later) is allowed. In the case of 2 round big hits caused by the stoppage of symbols), it is allowed up to 2 times. Note that without providing the V winning area, the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 may be allowed to be released up to the maximum allowable number of times (for example, 2 times or 15 times) corresponding to the big hit.

  When the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 at the time of stoppage is a 15R jackpot symbol with a probability variation, the probability variation state (hereinafter referred to as a probability variation state) is controlled to a more advantageous state for the player. . When controlled to the probability variation state, the probability of the next big hit is higher than the probability of the normal state. The normal state refers to a gaming state other than the big hit gaming state and other than the probability variation state. In the present embodiment, a 15R jackpot symbol with probability variation is referred to as a probable variation jackpot symbol, and a 15R jackpot symbol without probability variation is referred to as a non-probable variation jackpot symbol.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 at the time of stoppage is a 15R big hit symbol with variable time reduction control for reducing the fluctuation time among the probability variable big hit symbols, the probability variation state And a variable time shortening state (hereinafter referred to as a short time state) in which the variable time shortening control is performed. Compared to the normal state, the time-short state is the variation time (time from the start of variation to the time when the display result is derived and displayed) of the special symbol display 8, the variation display device 9, and the normal symbol display 10 described later. ) Is a control state in which display results are derived and displayed at an early stage. The probability variation jackpot symbol in the present embodiment includes a first probability variation jackpot symbol that is controlled to a probability variation state but not controlled to a short-time state, and a second probability variable jackpot symbol controlled to a probability variation state and controlled to a time-shortening state. . In addition, the non-probable variation big hit symbol in the present embodiment includes a normal big hit symbol that is not controlled to the probability variation state and the short time state, and a short time big hit symbol that is not controlled to the probability variation state but is controlled to the short time state.

  In the short-time state, the variation time of the symbol is shortened, so that the number of reserved memories is digested early, and the start winning that occurred exceeding the upper limit of the number of reserved memories (for example, “4”) becomes invalid. The display result can be derived and displayed frequently in a short time, and the winning display result can be easily derived and displayed at an early stage. For this reason, the display result of the variable display is likely to be the display result of the big hit symbol from the viewpoint of time efficiency, and the gaming state is advantageous to the player.

  Further, when the time-short state is controlled, the following control is further performed. In the short-time state, the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened compared to that in the non-time-short state, and the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased. The opening time is increased, and control is performed to increase the number of opening times of the variable winning ball device 15 at the time of winning. For this reason, since the variable winning ball device 15 is more likely to be in the open state during the short-time state than in the non-time-short state, from the viewpoint of paying out the game ball according to the winning, Including both cases where the start winning is valid and invalid). As a result, the number of game balls to be paid out as award balls according to the winnings (in the number of shots) in the short-time state is less than the non-time-short state in relation to the number of game balls that have been struck into the game area 7 The ratio of the number of balls to be paid out can be increased. In general, the ratio of the number of paid-out balls by winning a prize to the number of shot balls is called “base”. For example, when there are 40 payout balls with respect to 100 shot balls, the base is 40 (%). In the case of this embodiment, for example, a time-short state having a higher base than a non-time-short state such as a normal state is also referred to as a high base state, and conversely, such a normal state has a lower base compared to such a high base state. Such a non-time-short state is also referred to as a low base state.

  The normal state that is controlled when the special symbol on the special symbol indicator 8 at the time of stoppage becomes the normal big hit symbol is called the low probability low base state, and the short state that is controlled when the special symbol indicator becomes the short and big hit symbol is low. Probability base state, which is controlled when the first probability variation big hit symbol is reached, is called the high probability low base state, and when the second probability variation big hit symbol is reached, the probability variation state is controlled and the time is shortened. The controlled state is referred to as a highly accurate base state. In the present embodiment, when the special symbol on the special symbol indicator 8 at the time of stoppage becomes the 2R big hit symbol, after the 2R big hit is generated, the low accuracy low base state and the low accuracy high base state described above are generated. , The high-accuracy low base state and the high-accuracy high-base state are controlled.

  The decorative symbol displayed on the variable display device 9 is a decorative symbol that is variably displayed with a predetermined relationship with the special symbol variable display in order to enhance the decorative effect of the special symbol variable display on the special symbol display 8. There are implications. The predetermined relationship with respect to such a symbol includes, for example, a relationship in which the variation display of the decorative symbol is started when the variation display of the special symbol is started, the variation display of the special symbol is finished, and the display result is displayed. In some cases, the display of the display result is displayed after the decorative symbol variation display ends.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 3, the relationship between the special symbol in the special symbol display device 8 and the decorative symbol in the variable display device 9 will be described in detail. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between a special symbol and a decorative symbol.

  As described above, the special symbols include the 15R jackpot symbol, the dismissal symbol, and the 2R jackpot symbol. The 15R jackpot symbol includes a normal jackpot symbol, a short time jackpot symbol, a first probability variable jackpot symbol, and a second probability variable jackpot symbol. The normal jackpot symbol for the special symbol corresponds to “0” or “1”. Further, the normal big hit symbol for the decorative symbol corresponds to a set of three “0” or “1”. When “0” or “1” is derived and displayed as the display result of the variable display on the special symbol display 8, a set of three “0” or “1” is derived and displayed on the variable display device 9. .

  “2” corresponds to the hourly and junior big hit symbol for the special symbol. In addition, the three combinations of “2” correspond to the hourly and junior big hit symbols for the decorative symbols. When “2” is derived and displayed as the display result of the variable display on the special symbol display 8, the set of three “2” is derived and displayed on the variable display device 9 as the display result.

  The first probability variation jackpot symbol for the special symbol is “3”. Further, the first probability variation jackpot symbol for the decorative symbol corresponds to a set of three “3”. When “3” is derived and displayed as the display result of the variable display on the special symbol display 8, the set of three “3” is derived and displayed on the variable display device 9 as the display result.

  The second probability variation jackpot symbol for the special symbol is “4”. Further, the second probability variation big hit symbol for the decorative symbol corresponds to a set of three “4” or “5”. When “4” is derived and displayed as the display result of the variable display on the special symbol display 8, the set of three “4” or “5” is derived and displayed on the variable display device 9.

  “5” corresponds to the off symbol for the special symbol. In addition, the off-set symbols for the decorative symbols correspond to all combinations other than the set of three and “123”. When “5” is derived and displayed as the display result of the variable display on the special symbol display 8, the combination of all three and other than “123” is derived and displayed on the variable display device 9 as the display result.

  The 2R jackpot symbol for the special symbol is “6”. Moreover, the combination of “123” corresponds to the off symbol for the decorative symbol. When “6” is derived and displayed as the display result of the variable display on the special symbol display 8, the combination of “123” is derived and displayed on the variable display device 9 as the display result.

  Next, the reach display mode (reach) will be described. The reach display mode (reach) in the present embodiment means that the decorative symbols that have not been stopped when the stopped decorative symbols constitute a part of the jackpot symbol are displayed in a variable manner, and This is a state in which all or part of the decorative symbols are synchronously displayed while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol.

  For example, in the variable display device 9, an effective line (one effective line in the case of the present embodiment) that is a hit when the decorative design stops is determined in advance, and a part of the display area on the effective line In the state where the variable display is performed in the display area on the active line that has not been stopped when the predetermined decorative pattern is stopped (for example, the left, middle, and right display areas in the variable display device 9) The left and right display areas are in a state where the same decorative design is stopped and the middle display area is still in a variable display state), and all or one of the display areas on the active line. The decorative pattern of the part is displayed in a variable manner in synchronism while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol (for example, the variable display is displayed in all of the left, middle and right display areas in the variable display device 9). Are, always the same state variable display in a state where the decorative pattern is aligned is being performed) that reach the display mode or reach.

  In addition, during the reach, an unusual performance may be performed with a lamp or sound. This production is called reach production. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (decorative design etc.)) or a background display mode (for example, color) of the variable display device 9 is displayed. May be changed. This change in character display and background display mode is called reach effect display. In addition, among reach, normal reach (normal reach) that is selected at a higher rate than when it is a big hit, and a higher rate when it is a big hit than when it is lost The special reach (super reach) selected in is set. Thereby, when super reach appears, it is possible to notify the player that the ratio of occurrence of jackpots is higher than when normal reach appears, and it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

  In addition, during the decorative symbol variation display, when the display result is a 15R jackpot symbol, for example, the ornament symbol is temporarily stopped at the normal jackpot symbol (for example, a state where the symbol is swinging in a state where the symbol is not updated) Etc., hereinafter referred to as a temporary stop), the decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner, and the display result is then displayed as a short-term bonus symbol, a first probability variable bonus symbol, a second probability variable bonus symbol, or a normal jackpot symbol. In some cases, a re-lottery display is performed as a re-variable display. In this re-lottery display, when the display result of the variation display is a big hit symbol, it becomes a short-term big hit symbol, a first positive variation big hit symbol, a second positive variable big hit symbol, or a normal big hit symbol It is possible to give the player the pleasure of being maintained. Similarly, as the re-lottery display, for example, after temporarily stopping the decorative symbol at the hourly and big hit symbol, the ornamental symbol is displayed in a variable manner, and then the hourly and big bonus symbol or the second probability variable big hit symbol is displayed as the display result. After the temporary change of the decorative symbol to the first probability variable big hit symbol, the decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner again, and then the first probability variable big hit symbol or the second probability variable big hit symbol is displayed as the display result. Some display a re-variable display. In addition, the re-lottery display in the present embodiment may be performed before the big hit game is started, or may be performed when the big hit game ends.

  In this way, before the big hit game is started, a re-lottery display that may be switched from the normal big hit symbol to the first positive probability big hit symbol or the second positive probability big hit symbol, and from the short-term big hit symbol to the second positive variable big hit symbol. The re-lottery display that may be switched is referred to as a variable mid-high accuracy re-lottery display. In addition, before the big hit game is started, there is a re-lottery display that may be switched from the normal big hit symbol to the short-time big hit symbol or the second probability variable big hit symbol, and the first positive variable big hit symbol is changed to the second positive variable big hit symbol. A possible re-lottery display is referred to as a variable mid-high base re-lottery display.

  When the big hit game ends, the re-lottery display that may switch from the normal big hit symbol to the first positive change big hit symbol or the second positive change big hit symbol, and the possibility of switching from the short-term big hit symbol to the second positive change big hit symbol A certain re-lottery display is called a highly accurate re-lottery display at the end. In addition, when the big hit game is over, it is possible to switch from the normal big hit symbol to the short-term big hit symbol or the second probability variable big hit symbol, and to switch from the first positive variable big hit symbol to the second positive variable big hit symbol. The characteristic re-lottery display is called the high base re-lottery display at the end. Further, the re-lottery display for performing the high-base re-lottery display at the end after the above-described variable mid-high-accuracy re-lottery display is referred to as a composite re-lottery display.

  In addition, for the variable display device 9, a notice may be executed by the appearance of a character, background screen switching, or the like. The advance notice refers to an effect that informs that there is a higher probability of being a big hit when it is executed than when it is not executed.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 32, the normal symbol display unit 10 is in a state where the normal symbol is variably displayed. Further, when the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 10 is a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined time. Further, in the probability variation state, the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased, and the opening time and the number of times of opening of the variable winning ball device 15 are increased. In other words, the opening time and the number of times of opening of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 are increased when the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a winning symbol, the stop symbol of the special symbol is a probable big hit symbol, etc., which is disadvantageous for the player. Changes to an advantageous state. It should be noted that increasing the number of times of opening is a concept including changing from a closed state to an open state.

Near the center, an information terminal board (information output board) 36 provided with terminals for outputting various information from the main board 31 to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is installed.

  The game balls stored in the storage tank 38 pass through the guide rail 39 and reach the ball payout device covered with the payout case 40A via the curve rod. A ball break switch 187 as a game medium break detection means is provided on the upper part of the ball payout device. When the ball break switch 187 detects a ball break, the dispensing operation of the ball dispensing device stops. The ball break switch 187 is a switch for detecting the presence or absence of a game ball in the game ball passage, but the ball break detection switch 167 for detecting the shortage of supply balls in the storage tank 38 is also an upstream portion (storage tank 38). In the vicinity of the head). When the ball break detection switch 167 detects a shortage of game balls, the game balls are replenished to the pachinko gaming machine 1 from the replenishment mechanism provided on the gaming machine installation island.

  When a large number of game balls as prizes based on winning prizes or game balls based on ball lending requests are paid out and the hitting ball supply tray 3 becomes full, the game balls are guided to the surplus ball receiving tray 4 through the surplus ball passage. When the game ball is further paid out, a sensing lever (not shown) presses a full tank switch (not shown) as a storage state detection means, and the full tank switch as a storage state detection means is turned on. In this state, the rotation of the payout motor in the ball payout device is stopped, the operation of the ball payout device is stopped, and the driving of the ball hitting device is also stopped.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a circuit configuration in the main board 31. 5 also shows a payout control board 37, an interface board 66, a relay board 77, a display control board 80, and a sound / lamp control board 70 mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1.

Each of the start port switch 14a, the count switch 23, and the winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a, and 39a for detecting the winning is also a winning detecting means for detecting the winning of the game ball in the winning area. Even if a pass gate such as the gate 32 is used, a game ball enters the pass gate if the prize ball is paid out, and a switch (for example, a switch provided in the pass gate (for example, The gate switch 32a) becomes a winning detection means. Furthermore, a game ball that has won the V winning area is detected by the V winning switch 22 and also by the count switch 23. Therefore, the number of game balls won in the special winning opening corresponds to the number detected by the count switch 23. However, the game balls won in the V prize area are detected only by the V prize switch 22, and the number of game balls won in the big prize opening is determined by the number detected by the V prize switch 22 and the number detected by the count switch 23. You may make it become the sum. Further, the V winning area may not be provided, and a continuation right may always be generated in rounds other than the final round.

  The game control microcomputer 560 includes a ROM 54 for storing a game control (game progress control) program and the like, a RAM 55 as a storage means (variation data storage means for storing fluctuation data) used as a work memory, and a program. Therefore, it includes a CPU 56 that performs a control operation and an I / O port unit 506. The ROM 54, the RAM 55, and the I / O port unit 506 are built in the game control microcomputer 560.

The display control microcomputer 800 includes a ROM 84 that stores a display control program and the like, a RAM 85 that is used as a work memory, and a CPU 86 that performs a display control operation according to the program. This display control microcomputer 800 performs control related to various display effects such as variable display of the variable display device 9 in accordance with a display control command transmitted from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700. Specifically, the following control is performed. In addition to the display control microcomputer 800, the display control board 80 is mounted with a VDP, a character ROM, and a VRAM (not shown). The VDP is a processing device having a display control function for performing image display and a high-speed drawing function, and performs display control of the variable display unit. CPU 86 reads necessary data from character ROM in accordance with the received effect control command. The character ROM is for storing image data to be displayed on the variable display device 9 in advance.

  Then, the CPU 86 outputs the data read from the character ROM to the VDP. The VDP operates based on data input from the CPU 86. Each VDP has a two-dimensional address space independent of the CPU 86, and VRAM is mapped there. The VDP generates image data to be displayed on the variable display device 9 according to the image data of the character ROM, and the VDP expands the image data in the VRAM. VRAM is a frame buffer memory for expanding image data generated by VDP. The image data developed in the VRAM is output to the variable display device 9.

The sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 is not limited to this, and only controls the sound output means or controls the light emitting means in response to the effect display on the variable display device 9. There may be.

  Next, it is determined whether to make a big hit or out of the pachinko gaming machine 1 shown in this embodiment, whether to make a probable change state, determination of a change pattern in a change display (whether to reach a reach state) The processing procedure for the control contents such as determination of the stop symbol of the special symbol and the determination of the special symbol will be briefly described.

  The determination of whether to hit 15R big hit, 2R big hit or off (big hit determination) is performed using a random number circuit 503a (also referred to as random R or random R1) as described later. The random number circuit 503a is a circuit that adds and updates the count value at an extremely high speed (for example, 10 MHz) regardless of clock control (for example, an interrupt process described later). The random number circuit (12-bit random number circuit) 503a is mounted on the game control microcomputer 560. When a signal from the start port switch 14a is input, the count value at that time is latched (temporarily held). When it is determined that there has been a start winning (for example, when the input signal is in the on state while the timer interruption count is performed for a predetermined number of times), the latched count value is used as data for the start winning storage in the RAM 55. Store in the storage area.

  The gaming state to be controlled after the 15R jackpot game is ended and the gaming state to be controlled after the 2R jackpot game are ended are set to a low probability low base state, a low probability high base state, a high probability low base state, or a high The determination of whether or not to be in the high-definition base state (game state determination) is performed using the count value (random number value) of a random counter (also referred to as random R2) for determining the game state. This random counter is a numerical data updating means for updating numerical data within a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 99), and the value of the counter extracted at a predetermined timing such as at the time of starting winning is determined in advance. The state specified from the gaming state determination value is determined as the gaming state that is controlled after the big hit gaming state ends.

  In addition, the symbol determination in the special symbol variation display is performed using a count value (random number value) of a random counter for special symbol determination (also referred to as random R3). This random counter is for determining a stop symbol of a special symbol, and is a numerical data updating means for updating numerical data within a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 5). The stop symbol of the special symbol is determined based on the counter value extracted from the random R3 at a predetermined timing (for example, at the time of starting winning a prize) before the start of variation. When it is determined that 15R jackpot is determined in the jackpot determination, and it is determined that the low probability low base state is determined by the gaming state determination, the normal jackpot symbol of the normal jackpot symbol is based on the value of the counter extracted from the random R3. The stop symbol of the special symbol is determined from our house. As described with reference to FIG. 3, one symbol corresponds to the short and long jackpot symbol other than the normal jackpot symbol, the first probability variation jackpot symbol, the second probability variation jackpot symbol, the outlier symbol, and the 2R jackpot symbol in this embodiment. Attached and set. For this reason, the counter value extracted from the random R3 is used to determine any one of the short and large jackpot symbols, the first probability variation jackpot symbol, the second probability variation jackpot symbol, the outlier symbol, and the 2R jackpot symbol as the special symbol stop symbol. Without using, one symbol set in association with each other is determined. In addition, when a plurality of symbols are set in association with each other as the short-term jackpot symbol, the first probability variation jackpot symbol, the second probability variation jackpot symbol, the outlier symbol, and the 2R jackpot symbol, the same as the normal jackpot symbol The stop symbol of the special symbol may be determined from the symbol associated with the determination result by the gaming state determination based on the value of the counter extracted from the random R3.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the game state is determined using the random R2 count value and the special symbol determination is performed using the random R3 count value to determine the special symbol stop symbol for the normal jackpot symbol. Although it demonstrated, it is not restricted to this, You may comprise so that game state determination and special symbol determination may be performed using the count value of one random counter. When it is determined by the big hit determination that 15R big hit is made, a special symbol determination is made to determine a stop symbol from the 15R big hit symbol based on the count value from the random counter, and the determined stop symbol is the first certain change. You may comprise so that a gaming state determination may be performed according to whether it is a big hit symbol, a 2nd probability variation big hit symbol, a time-saving big hit symbol, or a normal big hit symbol. When it is determined that 2R big hit is determined by the big hit determination, the gaming state may be determined based on the count value from the random counter.

  The variation pattern for specifying the variation display variation time in the special symbol display 8 and the variation display mode in the variation display device 9 is a count value of a variation pattern determining random counter (also referred to as random R4). Random number) is selected and determined from a plurality of types of variation patterns. This random counter is for determining a fluctuation pattern at random, and is a numerical data updating means for updating numerical data within a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 99). Are extracted at a predetermined timing. A plurality of types of variation patterns are provided for each of the cases where it is determined to be 15R big hit or 2R big hit by the big hit determination and when it is determined to be out of the big hit determination. Based on the relationship between the variation pattern type and the numerical data, the variation pattern corresponding to the numerical data that matches the value of the counter extracted from the random counter at a predetermined timing before starting the variation of the special symbol, such as at the time of starting winning Is determined as a variation pattern to be executed. When the fluctuation pattern is determined to be the 15R big hit or the 2R big hit by the big hit determination, it is decided to be out of the big hit judgment and the reach state is decided by the reach determination. Multiple types are provided for each time (when reach is lost) and when it is determined that a hit is determined by jackpot determination and not reach is determined by reach determination (when non-reach is lost) ing. The plurality of types of variation patterns include variation patterns that specify variation times during which a reach state can be generated in variation display on the variation display device 9. Such a variation pattern is called a reach variation pattern.

  When it is determined that 15R big hit is determined by the big hit determination, the count value of the random counter for re-lottery determination (also referred to as random R5) used for determining whether or not the re-lottery is performed in the variable display device 9 ( Whether to perform the above-mentioned changing medium / high accuracy re-lottery display, changing middle / high base re-lottery display, end high-precision re-lottery display, or end high-base re-lottery display using a random number) Then, it is determined whether to perform the composite re-lottery display. This random counter is a numerical data updating means for updating numerical data within a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 19), and is extracted at a predetermined timing such as before the start of fluctuation of a special symbol.

  When the reach variation pattern is selected and determined using the count value of the random counter for determining the variation pattern, it is determined that the winning pattern is determined to be out of play, and the left, middle and right symbols of the variation display device 9 are stopped. Random counter for determining the number of deviations used to determine the number of deviations (number of symbols, that is, the number of frames) as the deviation of the symbol (medium symbol which is the final stop symbol) with respect to the jackpot display result (hit symbol) in the combination of The number of deviations is determined using the count value (random number value) (also referred to as random R6). This random counter is for determining the number of deviations at random, and is a numerical data updating means for updating numerical data within a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 4). Are extracted at a predetermined timing.

  As described above, the big hit determination function is realized by a numerical data update function using the random number circuit 503 as a hardware circuit built in the game control microcomputer 560. In addition, the gaming state determination function, reach determination function, variation pattern determination function, stop symbol determination function, deviation number determination function, and re-lottery determination function are performed by a numerical data update function using software of the game control microcomputer 560.

  The sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives effect control commands from AD0 to AD7 at the capture timing indicated by the effect control INT signal. The sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 determines an effect to be executed based on the received effect control command, and performs sound control and lamp control to be performed in response to the determined effect. Drive signals and various lamp drive signals. Further, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 transmits a display control command indicating the display control of the variation display device 9 to be performed in response to the determined presentation using the signal lines BD0 to BD7, and also performs the display control INT. Send a signal.

  The display control microcomputer 800 receives display control commands from the BD0 to BD7 at the capturing timing indicated by the display control INT signal. Then, the display control microcomputer 800 controls the display of the variable display device 9 in accordance with the received display control command. In such a configuration, when the effect determined based on the effect control command is performed in the variable display device 9 by the display control microcomputer 800, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 generates the effect in the variable display device 9. Sound control and lamp control are performed in accordance with the above. In other words, by the action of the specific means executed by the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700, the presentation is determined based on the presentation control command as the first control signal, and the display control content for executing the presentation is shown. 2 A display control command as a control signal is specified. The specified display control command is transmitted to the display control microcomputer 800 by the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700. The sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 performs sound control and lamp control corresponding to the display control contents. As a result, it is possible to perform a sound effect or a lamp effect that is consistent (synchronized) with the display effect in the variable display device 9.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the game control microcomputer 560 includes a special figure holding memory 570, a jackpot determination table memory 571, a flag memory 572, a start winning port switch timer memory 573, and a variation pattern determination table memory. 574.

  In the special figure holding memory 570, the game ball wins the variable winning ball apparatus 15 and the execution condition for the special symbol variation display is established, but the variation display start condition is not yet established (for example, the special symbol display device 8 is a memory for storing pending data including the number of times the execution condition of the variable display is satisfied (8 is still executing the variable display). The special figure holding memory 570 has four entries, and each entry is read from the random number storage circuit of the random number circuit 503a according to the winning number in the order in which the game balls are won in the variable winning ball device 15. Random R values are stored in association with each other. In addition, whenever the special symbol variation display on the special symbol display 8 is finished once or the big hit gaming state is terminated, the variation display start condition based on the top information of the special symbol holding memory 570 is set. The change display based on the top information of the special figure holding memory 570 is executed. In this case, when the start condition of the special symbol variation display is satisfied, the information registered in the second or lower place in the special figure holding memory 570 is advanced by one place. In addition, when a game ball newly wins the variable winning ball device 15 during the special symbol variation display, the random R value read from the random value storage circuit based on the new winning is the special figure pending. It is registered in an empty entry in the memory 570.

  The big hit determination table memory 571 stores a big hit determination table and other tables used by the CPU 56 for determining whether or not the display result of the special symbol display 8 is a big hit symbol. Specifically, the big hit determination table memory 571 includes a normal big hit determination table used in a normal state shown in FIG. 8, a positive change big hit determination table used in a probability change state, and a gaming state determination shown in FIG. 10 is a game state determination table and a table used for determining whether or not the re-lottery shown in FIG. 10 is performed, and a transition time table (low low probability) provided for each game state to be transferred. 11 for determining the number of shifts when the reach shown in FIG. 11 is shifted, such as a base state transition table, a low accuracy high base state transition table, a high accuracy low base state transition table, and a high accuracy high base state transition table). Stores the used off time table. Here, the various tables stored in the jackpot determination table memory 571 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, referring to FIG. 8, in the normal-time big hit determination table, a value that can be extracted from random R1 is a value that makes a decision to make 15R big hit as a value that is looked up in normal time, and a decision that makes 2R big hit. The assignment is made in advance to the value to be performed and the value to be determined to be out of place, and the symbol contents can be specified corresponding to the assignment. The normal big hit determination table makes a decision to make a 15R big hit when the value from the random R1 is “0 to 11”, and 2R big hit when it is “12 to 21”. The distribution is set so that the determination is made to make a deviation when the value is other than “0 to 21”.

  In the probability variation big hit determination table, the value that can be extracted from the random R1 is different from the value that makes the 15R big hit determination as the value looked up at the time of the probability change and the value that makes the 2R big hit determination. It is assigned in advance to the value to be determined, and the symbol content can be specified corresponding to the assignment. The probability change big hit judgment table makes a decision to make a 15R big hit when the value from the random R1 is any of “0 to 59”, and 2R big hit when it is any of “60 to 119”. The distribution is set so that the determination is made to make a deviation when the value is other than “0 to 119”.

  Next, referring to FIG. 9, the gaming state determination table is a low probability low base state table used for determining a gaming state to be controlled after the big hit game that has occurred in the low probability low base state is completed. Low-accuracy high-base state table used to determine the game state to be controlled after the jackpot game that has occurred in the high-accuracy base state, gaming state to be controlled after the jackpot game that has occurred in the high-accuracy low-base state has ended And a high-accuracy base state table used for determining a gaming state to be controlled after the big hit game generated in the high-accuracy high-base state is completed. In FIG. 9, as the gaming state determination table, the tables used for the respective probabilities and base states are collectively shown in a comparable state.

  When it is determined that the big hit is in the low probability low base state, the gaming state to be controlled after the big hit game is ended is selected and determined using the low probability low base state table. More specifically, when the extracted value of R2 is any one of “0” to “59”, it is determined to control to the low probability low base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “60” to “79”, it is determined to control the low-accuracy base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “80” to “89”, it is determined to control to the highly accurate low base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “90” to “99”, it is determined to control to the highly accurate base state. In the low accuracy low base state, the selection probability of the low accuracy low base state is 60%, the selection probability of the low accuracy high base state is 20%, the selection probability of the high accuracy low base state is 10%, the selection of the high accuracy high base state The probability is 10%.

  When it is determined that a big hit is made in the low-accuracy base state, a gaming state to be controlled after the big-hit game is ended is selected and determined using the low-accuracy base state table. More specifically, when the extracted value of R2 is any one of “0” to “29”, it is determined to control to the low probability low base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “30” to “69”, it is determined to control the low-accuracy base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “70” to “79”, it is determined to control to the highly accurate low base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any of “80” to “99”, it is determined to control to the highly accurate base state. In the low and high base state, the selection probability of the low and low base state is 30%, the selection probability of the low and high base state is 40%, the selection probability of the high and low base state is 10%, and the high probability and high base state is selected. The probability is 20%.

  When it is determined that the big hit is made in the high probability low base state, the gaming state to be controlled after the big hit game is ended is selected and determined using the high probability low base state table. More specifically, when the extracted value of R2 is any one of “0” to “19”, it is determined to control to the low probability low base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “20” to “29”, it is determined to control the low-accuracy base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “30” to “69”, it is determined to control to the highly accurate low base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “70” to “99”, it is determined to control to the highly accurate base state. In the high accuracy low base state, the selection probability of the low accuracy low base state is 20%, the selection probability of the low accuracy high base state is 10%, the selection probability of the high accuracy low base state is 40%, the selection of the high accuracy high base state The probability is 30%.

  When it is determined that a big hit is made in the high-accuracy base state, a gaming state to be controlled after the big-hit game is ended is selected and determined using the high-accuracy high-base state table. More specifically, when the extracted value of R2 is any one of “0” to “9”, it is determined to control to the low probability low base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “10” to “19”, it is determined to control the low-accuracy base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “20” to “39”, it is determined to control to the highly accurate low base state. When the extracted value of R2 is any one of “40” to “99”, it is determined to control to the highly accurate base state. In the high accuracy and high base state, the selection probability of the low accuracy and low base state is 10%, the selection probability of the low accuracy and high base state is 10%, the selection probability of the high accuracy and low base state is 20%, and the selection of the high accuracy and high base state Probability is 60%.

  As described above, when the big hit is made, the ratio at which the game state after each big hit game is selected is set to be different depending on the probability and the base state when the big hit is determined.

  In FIG. 9 as described above, the following settings are made for the selection ratio of the gaming state controlled after the big hit game for each probability / base state.

  The relationship between the probability state when the jackpot is hit and the jackpot that becomes the high base state is as follows. Taking the low base state as an example, in the low base state, the probability of entering the high base state after the jackpot gaming state is finished in the high probability low base state controlled to the high probability state is controlled to the low probability state. The probability of becoming a high base state after the end of the big hit gaming state in the low probability low base state is 30%, and the big hit gaming state when controlled to the high probability state is higher than when controlled to the low probability state The rate at which it is decided to control to the high base state later is high. Taking the high base state as an example, in the high base state, the probability of entering the high base state after the big hit gaming state is controlled in the high probability high base state that is controlled to the high probability state, and the low base state is controlled. The probability of becoming a high base state after the end of the big hit gaming state in the low probability high base state is 60%, and it is a big hit when being controlled to the high probability state than when being controlled to the low probability state The ratio of determining to control to the high base state after the gaming state is high. As described above, in the data table of FIG. 9, the ratio of determining to control to the high base state after the big hit gaming state is higher when controlled to the high probability state than when controlled to the low probability state. The settings are as follows.

  In addition, the relationship between the base state when the jackpot is hit and the jackpot that becomes the high base state is as follows. Taking the low probability state as an example, in the low probability state, the probability of becoming a high base after the end of the big hit gaming state in the low probability high base state that is controlled to the high base state is controlled to the low base state. The probability of becoming a high base after the end of the big hit gaming state in the low probability low base state is 30%, and when being controlled to the high base state after the big hit gaming state than when being controlled to the low base state The ratio to be determined when controlling to the high base state is different. Taking the high probability state as an example, in the high probability state, the probability of becoming a high base after the end of the big hit gaming state in the high probability high base state controlled to the high base state is controlled to the low base state. The probability of becoming a high base after the big hit gaming state is finished in the high-probability low base state is 40%, and the big hit game is controlled when the high base state is controlled than when the low base state is controlled. The ratio of determining to control to the high base state after the state is different. As described above, in the data table of FIG. 9, it is determined that the high base state is controlled after the big hit gaming state when the high base state is controlled than when the low base state is controlled. The ratio is set to be high.

  Further, the relationship between the probability state when the jackpot is hit and the jackpot that becomes a high probability state is as follows. Taking the low base state as an example, in the low base state, the probability of becoming a high probability state after the big hit gaming state in the high probability low base state controlled to the high probability state is controlled to 70%, the low probability state. The probability of becoming a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished in the low probability low base state is 20%, and the big hit game is controlled when the high probability state is controlled than when the low probability state is controlled. The ratio of determining to control to a high probability state after the state is high. Taking the high base state as an example, in the high base state, the probability of entering the high probability state after the jackpot gaming state is controlled in the high probability high base state that is controlled to the high probability state, and is controlled to the low probability state. The probability of becoming a high probability state after the big hit gaming state in the low probability high base state that is being done is 30%, and when being controlled to the high probability state than when being controlled to the low probability state The ratio of determining to control to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is high. As described above, in the data table of FIG. 9, the ratio of determining to control to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state is higher in the case of being controlled to the high probability state than in the case of being controlled to the low probability state. It is set to become.

  The relationship between the base state when the jackpot is hit and the jackpot that is a high probability state is as follows. Taking the low-probability state as an example, in the low-probability state, the probability of becoming a high-probability state after the big hit gaming state in the low-probability high-base state controlled to the high-base state is controlled to the low-base state. The probability of becoming a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished in the low probability low base state is 20%, and the big hit game is controlled when the high base state is controlled than when the low base state is controlled. The ratio of determining to control to a high probability state after the state is high. Taking the high probability state as an example, in the high probability state, the probability of becoming a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is controlled in the high probability high base state controlled to the high base state, and the low base state is controlled. The probability of becoming a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is completed in the high probability low base state is 70%, and when being controlled to the high base state than when being controlled to the low base state, The ratio of determining to control to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is high. As described above, in the data table of FIG. 9, the ratio of determining to control to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state is higher when controlled to the high base state than when controlled to the low probability state. It is set to become.

  The game state determination for the big hit determination in the big hit determination has been described above. Similarly, for the 2R big hit in the big hit determination, the game after the completion of the 2R big hit game using the game state determination table of FIG. The state is determined. In the gaming state determination in the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the ratio controlled to each gaming state after the 15R jackpot game ends and the ratio controlled to each gaming state after the 2R jackpot game ends are the same. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the gaming state determination is performed by differentiating the ratio controlled to each gaming state when 15R jackpot occurs and the ratio controlled to each gaming state when 2R jackpot occurs. You may comprise as follows.

  Next, when it is determined in the big hit determination that the 15R big hit is made and it is determined in the gaming state determination that the low probability low base state is controlled, the low probability low base state transition table shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not to execute lottery display and a symbol command is specified. The low-probability low-base state transition table determines that there is no re-lottery when the value from the random R5 is “0 to 9”, and when it is “10 to 11”, the medium-high-precision re-lottery display Is determined to execute the variable medium-high base re-lottery display when it is “12 to 13”, and is determined to execute the high-precision re-lottery display at the end when it is “14 to 15”. The distribution is set so that the high base re-lottery display at the end is executed when it is “16-17” and the composite re-lottery display is executed when it is “18-19”. Has been.

  The game control microcomputer 560 sends a symbol command of “8100h” as an effect control command to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 when it is determined to make a normal big hit by the big hit determination and the re-lottery is not executed. Then, the symbol command “8101h” is transmitted as an effect control command when it is determined that the variable mid-high accuracy re-lottery display is executed, and “8102h” is indicated as the effect control command when it is determined that the variable medium-high base re-lottery display is executed. When the symbol command is transmitted and it is determined that the high-precision re-lottery display at the end is executed, the symbol command “8103h” is transmitted as the effect control command, and when it is determined that the high-base re-lottery display at the end is executed, the effect control is performed. The command command “8104h” is sent as a command, and the compound re-lottery table There transmits a symbol command "8105h" as the effect control command when it is determined to be performed has been performed. When “8101h”, “8102h”, or “8105h” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “15” is set as the value of α indicating the time for the re-lottery display during the variable display. When “8100h”, “8103h”, or “8104h” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “0” is set as the value of α. The symbol commands “8101h to 8105h” are multi-commands for controlling the low-accuracy and low base state with a normal big hit, executing the re-lottery display, and the type of the re-lottery display to be executed.

  The stop pattern column of FIG. 10A shows a stop pattern of decorative symbols that are temporarily stopped or stopped in the variable display device 9 in correspondence with each symbol command. For example, when the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “8100h”, a control for stopping the normal jackpot symbol as a stop symbol at the end of change to be stopped at the end of change display is performed. When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “8101h” or “8102h”, the temporary stop during the change is temporarily stopped at the timing before the change / high accuracy re-lottery display or the change / high base re-lottery display is performed. Control for temporarily stopping the normal big hit symbol as a symbol is performed, and control for stopping the normal big hit symbol as a stop symbol at the end of change is performed by performing a variable medium high probability re-lottery display or a variable medium high base re-lottery display.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “8103h” or “8104h”, the normal big hit symbol is stopped as a stop symbol at the end of fluctuation, and a high-precision re-lottery display at the end or a high base re-display at the end. As a final stop symbol to stop the lottery display, a control is normally performed to stop the big hit symbol.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the symbol command “8105h”, the control for temporarily stopping the normal big hit symbol as the variable temporary stop symbol that temporarily stops at the timing before the variable high-accuracy re-lottery display is performed. Control is performed to stop the normal big hit symbol as a stop symbol at the end of change and stop the normal big hit symbol as the final stop symbol to stop by performing the high base re-lottery display at the end It is. The stop symbol at the end of change is the final stop symbol when the high-precision re-lottery display at the end or the high-base re-lottery display at the end is not performed.

  When it is determined in the big hit determination that 15R big hit is determined and it is determined in the gaming state determination that the low probability high base state is controlled, the low probability high base state transition table shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not to execute, and a symbol command is specified. The low-accuracy base state transition table determines that there is no re-lottery when the value from the random R5 is “0”, and when the value is “1-2”, the variable-high-accuracy re-lottery display is executed. A determination to execute the variable middle and high base re-lottery display when it is “3 to 6”, and a determination to execute the high-precision re-lottery display at the end when it is “7 to 9”. The distribution is set so that the high base re-lottery display at the end is executed when it is “10-14” and the composite re-lottery display is executed when it is “15-19”. Yes.

  The game control microcomputer 560 determines, based on the big hit determination, that the time / short jackpot is to be made to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700, and transmits the symbol command “8107h” as an effect control command when the lottery is not executed, The symbol command “8108h” is transmitted as an effect control command when it is determined to execute the variable mid-high accuracy re-lottery display, and the symbol command “8109h” is determined as the effect control command when it is determined to execute the variable mid-high base re-lottery display. Is transmitted, and a symbol command of “810Ah” is transmitted as an effect control command when it is determined that the high-precision re-lottery display at the end is executed, and as an effect control command when it is determined that the high-base re-lottery display at the end is executed. “810Bh” symbol command is sent and the combined re-lottery display is Transmitting a symbol commands "810Ch" as the effect control command when the determination is made to be. When “8108h”, “8109h”, or “810Ch” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “15” is set as the value of α indicating the time for performing the re-lottery display during the variable display. When “8107h”, “810Ah”, or “810Bh” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “0” is set as the value of α. The symbol commands “8108h to 810Ch” are multi-commands that control the low-accuracy base state by hitting the time, run the re-lottery display, and specify the type of the re-lottery display to be executed.

  The stop pattern column in FIG. 10B shows a stop pattern of decorative symbols that are temporarily stopped or stopped in the variable display device 9 in correspondence with each symbol command. For example, when the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “8107h”, control is performed to stop the short and large hit symbol as a stop symbol at the end of change which is stopped at the end of change display.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “8108h” or “8109h”, the temporary stop during the change is temporarily stopped at the timing before the change / high accuracy re-lottery display or the change / high base re-lottery display is performed. Control for temporarily stopping the normal big hit symbol as a symbol is performed, and control for stopping the short and large hit symbol is performed as a stop symbol at the time of end of variation for stopping by performing a variable medium high probability re-lottery display or a variable medium high base re-lottery display.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the symbol command of “810Ah”, the hourly / small-hit symbol is stopped as a variable end stop symbol that is stopped at the timing before the high-precision re-lottery display at the end is performed. Control is performed to stop the short and large winning symbol as the final stop symbol that is displayed with high accuracy re-lottery display. When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “810Bh”, the normal big hit symbol is stopped as a variable end stop symbol which is stopped at the timing before the end high base re-lottery display is performed. Control is performed to stop the short and large winning symbol as the final stop symbol to be displayed by stopping the high base re-lottery display.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the symbol command of “810Ch”, the control for temporarily stopping the normal big hit symbol as a variable temporary stop symbol that is temporarily stopped at the timing before performing the variable high-accuracy re-lottery display is performed. Control is performed to stop the normal big hit symbol as a stop symbol at the end of change and stop the high and short base symbol as the final stop symbol to stop by performing the high base re-lottery display at the end. It is. The stop symbol at the end of change is the final stop symbol when the high-precision re-lottery display at the end or the high-base re-lottery display at the end is not performed.

  When it is determined that the big hit determination is 15R big hit, and it is determined in the gaming state determination that the high probability low base state is controlled, the high probability low base state transition table shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not to execute, and a symbol command is specified. The high accuracy low base state transition table shown in FIG. 10C is a low accuracy time table when the low accuracy low base state or the low accuracy high base state is controlled with low accuracy, and the high accuracy low And a table for high-accuracy time when the base state or high-accuracy base state is controlled with high accuracy.

  The table for shifting to the high-low-low base state for low-accuracy time makes a determination that there is no re-lottery when the value from the random R5 is “0-1”, and fluctuates when it is “2-5”. It is determined that the medium / high-precision re-lottery display is executed, and when it is “6-9”, it is determined that the variable medium-high base re-lottery display is executed. Is determined to execute the high base re-lottery display at the end when it is “14-17”, and is determined to execute the composite re-lottery display when it is “18-19”. In addition, distribution is set.

  The high-accuracy low base state transition table for high-accuracy time determines that there is no re-lottery when the value from random R5 is “0-1”, and fluctuates when it is “2-6”. The determination to execute the medium / high-precision re-lottery display is performed. When “7 to 9”, the determination to execute the variable medium-high base re-lottery display is performed. Is determined to execute the high base re-lottery display at the end when it is “15 to 17”, and is determined to execute the composite re-lottery display when it is “18 to 19”. In addition, distribution is set.

  As described above, the high accuracy low base state transition table in the present embodiment is configured for low accuracy time and high accuracy time, depending on which one is used, whether it is changing or at the end. It is possible to determine with different ratios for executing the high-precision re-lottery display. The high accuracy low base state transition table in this embodiment uses a high accuracy low base state transition table for high accuracy rather than the high accuracy low base state transition table for low accuracy. The time is set so that the rate at which it is determined to execute the high-precision re-lottery display during the change or at the end is higher.

  The game control microcomputer 560 determines to be the first probability variation big hit by the big hit determination to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700, and transmits a symbol command of “810Dh” as an effect control command when the re-lottery is not executed. The symbol command “810Eh” is transmitted as an effect control command when it is determined that the variable mid-high accuracy re-lottery display is executed, and “810Fh” is output as the effect control command when it is determined that the variable medium-high base re-lottery display is executed. When the symbol command is transmitted and it is determined that the high-precision re-lottery display at the end is executed, the symbol command “8110h” is transmitted as the effect control command, and the effect control is performed when it is determined that the high-base re-lottery display at the end is executed. The command command “8111h” is sent as a command, and the compound re-lottery display Transmitting a symbol command "8112h" as the effect control command when it is determined to be performed has been performed. When “810Eh”, “810Fh”, or “8112h” is transmitted as the symbol command, the value “15” is set as the value of α indicating the time for performing the re-lottery display during the variable display. When “810Dh”, “8110h”, or “8111h” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “0” is set as the value of α. The symbol command of “810Eh to 8112h” is a multi-command that controls the high probability and low base state with the first probability variation, executes the re-lottery display, and specifies the type of the re-lottery display to be executed.

  The stop pattern column of FIG. 10C shows a stop pattern of decorative symbols that are temporarily stopped or stopped in the variable display device 9 in correspondence with each symbol command. For example, when the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “810 Dh”, control is performed to stop the first probability variable big hit symbol as a stop symbol at the end of variation which is stopped at the end of variation display.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “810Eh”, a control for temporarily stopping the normal big hit symbol as a variable temporary stop symbol to be temporarily stopped at a timing before performing the variable high-accuracy re-lottery display is performed. Control is performed to display the mid-variable high-precision re-lottery display and stop the first probable big hit symbol as a stop symbol at the end of variation. When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “810Fh”, the first probability variable big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as a variable temporary stop symbol that is temporarily stopped at the timing before the variable medium high base re-lottery display is performed. Control is performed, and the control is performed to stop the first positive variation big hit symbol as the stop symbol at the end of the change by displaying the change mid-high base re-lottery display.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the symbol command “8110h”, the normal big hit symbol is stopped and terminated as a variable end stop symbol which is temporarily stopped at the timing prior to the end high-precision re-lottery display. Control is performed to stop the first probable big hit symbol as the final stop symbol by performing the high-accuracy re-lottery display. When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the symbol command “8111h”, the first probability variable big hit symbol is stopped as a variable end stop symbol which is stopped at a timing before the end high base re-lottery display is performed. A high base re-lottery display is performed at the end, and control is performed to stop the first positive variation big hit symbol as the final stop symbol.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “8112h”, a control for temporarily stopping the normal big hit symbol as a variable temporary stop symbol that is temporarily stopped at a timing before performing the variable high-accuracy re-lottery display is performed. The first probability variable big hit symbol is stopped as a stop symbol at the end of change, and the high probability re-lottery display at the end is stopped and stopped. Control is performed. The stop symbol at the end of change is the final stop symbol when the high-precision re-lottery display at the end or the high-base re-lottery display at the end is not performed.

  When it is determined that the big hit determination is 15R big hit, and it is determined in the gaming state determination that the control is made to the high-accuracy base state, the high-accuracy base state transition table shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not to execute, and a symbol command is specified. The high accuracy high base state transition table shown in FIG. 10D is a low accuracy time table when the low accuracy low base state or low accuracy high base state or the like is controlled with low accuracy, and high accuracy low. And a table for high-accuracy time when the base state or high-accuracy base state is controlled with high accuracy.

  The high-accuracy base state transition table for low-accuracy times determines that there is no re-lottery when the value from the random R5 is “0”, and when the value is “1”, the variable-high-accuracy re-lottery Determination to execute display, determination to execute variable mid-high base re-lottery display when “2-6”, determination to execute high-precision re-lottery display at end when “7-8” The determination is made so that the high base re-lottery display at the end is executed when it is “9-14”, and the composite re-lottery display is determined when it is “15-19”. Is set.

  The high-accuracy base state transition table for high-accuracy time determines that there is no re-lottery when the value from the random R5 is “0”, and when the value is “1-2” Performs determination to execute re-lottery display, performs determination to execute variable medium-high base re-lottery display when it is “3-6”, and performs high-precision re-lottery display at the end when it is “7-9” A determination to execute the high re-lottery display at the end when it is “10 to 14”, and a determination to execute the composite re-lottery display when it is “15 to 19”. Sorting is set.

  As described above, the high-accuracy and high-base state transition table according to the present embodiment is configured for low-accuracy time and high-accuracy time. It is possible to determine with different ratios for executing the high-precision re-lottery display. The high accuracy and high base state transition table for the high accuracy time is used as the high accuracy and high base state transition table in the present embodiment, rather than the high accuracy and high base state transition table for the low accuracy time. The time is set so that the rate at which the determination to execute the high-precision re-lottery display during the change or at the end is performed is higher.

  The game control microcomputer 560 determines to be the second probability variation big hit by the big hit determination to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700, and transmits the symbol command “8113h” as the effect control command when the re-lottery is not executed. The symbol command “8114h” is transmitted as an effect control command when it is determined that the variable mid-high accuracy re-lottery display is to be executed, and “8115h” is indicated as the effect control command when it is determined that the variable medium-high base re-lottery display is to be executed. When the symbol command is transmitted and it is determined that the high-precision re-lottery display at the end is executed, the symbol command “8116h” is transmitted as the effect control command, and when it is determined that the high-base re-lottery display at the end is executed, the effect control is performed. The symbol command “8117h” is sent as a command, and the compound re-lottery display Transmitting a symbol command "8118h" as the effect control command when it is determined to be performed has been performed. When “8114h”, “8115h”, or “8118h” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “15” is set as the value of α indicating the time for the re-lottery display during the variable display. When “8113h”, “8116h”, or “8117h” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “0” is set as the value of α. The symbol commands “8114h to 8118h” are multi-commands for controlling the high probability and high base state by performing the second probability variation, executing the re-lottery display, and specifying the type of the re-lottery display to be executed.

  The stop pattern column of FIG. 10D shows a stop pattern of decorative symbols that are temporarily stopped or stopped in the variable display device 9 in correspondence with each symbol command. For example, when the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the symbol command “8113h”, control is performed to stop the second probability big hit symbol as a symbol at the end of variation to be stopped at the end of variation display.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the “8114h” symbol command, the normal / short-time / hit symbol is temporarily stopped as a variable temporary stop symbol that is temporarily stopped at the timing before the variable high-accuracy re-lottery display is performed. Control is performed, and the control is performed to stop the second probability variation big hit symbol as the stop symbol at the end of the variation by performing a lottery re-lottery display during variation. When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “8115h”, the normal / first probability variable big hit symbol is temporarily assumed as a variable temporary stop symbol that is temporarily stopped at the timing before the variable medium / high base re-lottery display is performed. Control to stop is performed, and control to stop the second certainty big hit symbol as a stop symbol at the end of change is performed by performing a change mid-high base re-lottery display.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “8116h”, the normal / time / short-term hit symbol is stopped as a variable end stop symbol that is temporarily stopped at the timing prior to the end high-precision re-lottery display. Then, control is performed to display the high-precision re-lottery display at the end and stop the second likelihood variable big hit symbol as the final stop symbol. When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “8117h”, the normal / first positive variation big hit symbol is stopped as a variable end stop symbol that stops at the timing before the end high base re-lottery display is performed. Then, a high base re-lottery display is performed at the end, and control is performed to stop the second likelihood variable big hit symbol as the final stop symbol.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives a symbol command of “8118h”, a control for temporarily stopping the normal big hit symbol as a variable temporary stop symbol that is temporarily stopped at a timing before performing the variable high-accuracy re-lottery display is performed. The normal / first probability variation big hit symbol is stopped as a stop symbol at the end of variation, and the second positive variation big hit symbol is used as the final stop symbol to be stopped. Control to stop is performed. The stop symbol at the end of change is the final stop symbol when the high-precision re-lottery display at the end or the high-base re-lottery display at the end is not performed.

  In the present embodiment, when the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the symbol command “8118h”, the high-base re-lottery display is performed at the end of the big hit after the high-precision re-lottery display is performed during the fluctuation. An example was described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and high-precision re-lottery display may be performed at the end of the big hit after high-base re-lottery display is performed during fluctuation. Specifically, control is performed to temporarily stop the big jackpot symbol as a variable temporary stop symbol that is temporarily stopped at the timing before the variable mid-high base re-lottery display is performed, and the variable end is performed after the variable mid-high base re-lottery display is stopped The normal big hit symbol or the short time big hit symbol may be stopped as the hour stop symbol, and the second probability variable big hit symbol may be controlled to be stopped as the final stop symbol by stopping the high probability re-lottery display at the end.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the transition to the low-accuracy and high-base state, the transition to the high-accuracy and low-base state, or the transition to the high-accuracy and high-base state is greater than the transition to the low-accuracy and low-base state. The distribution is set so that the ratio of the re-lottery display is increased. Further, the distribution is set so that the ratio of the high-accuracy re-lottery display is higher in the high-accuracy low base state transition than in the high-accuracy low-base state transition. Further, the allocation is set so that the ratio of the high base re-lottery display is higher in the transition to the high-accuracy and high-base state than in the transition to the high-accuracy and low-base state.

  Note that the game control microcomputer 560 also transmits a symbol command corresponding to the determination result in the game state determination to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 when it is determined that the 2R jackpot is determined in the jackpot determination. . The symbol command is a multi-command that specifies that the game state is controlled according to the determination result in the game state determination after the 2R big hit game is finished after the 2R big hit is generated.

  Next, when it is determined that the jackpot is to be lost, the lost time table shown in FIG. 11 is referred to and the symbol command is specified. The non-reach time table, which is referred to when the fluctuation pattern determined as described later does not generate reach, is a non-reach fluctuation pattern, and the change pattern determined as described later generates reach. It is composed of a reach time table which is referred to when the reach shift variation pattern. When the reach table is referenced, the number of deviations is further determined.

  The non-reach time table is configured to set an outage that does not generate reach as the symbol content. The game control microcomputer 560 transmits a symbol command “8120h” to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 when the game control microcomputer 560 determines that it will be out of the jackpot determination and does not generate reach.

  The reach time table determines that when the value from the random R6 is “0”, the middle symbol is left and “+1 frame shift” from the right symbol, and when the value is “1”, the middle symbol is left, The right symbol is determined to be “+2 frame shift”. When “2”, the middle symbol is determined to be left, and the right symbol is determined to be “−1 frame shift”. When the symbol is “3”, the middle symbol is determined. Is determined to be “-2 frames shifted” from the left and right symbols, and when “4”, the distribution is determined to be determined to be “± 3 frames shifted” from the left and right symbols. Is set. Here, the top means one design of a decorative design.

  The game control microcomputer 560 determines that the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 is out of reach by the big hit determination and the reach that generates reach is out of order, and “+1 frame out of position” is indicated. Then, when it is determined, the symbol command “8121h” is transmitted as the effect control command, and when it is determined that “+2 frame shift”, the symbol command “8122h” is transmitted as the effect control command, and “−1 frame shift”. When it is determined, the symbol command “8123h” is transmitted as the effect control command, and when it is determined that “−2 frame deviation”, the symbol command “8124h” is transmitted as the effect control command. Figure of “8125h” as the production control command when it is determined that “deviation” Command is sent.

  When “8120h” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “0” is set as the value of β indicating the time for variably displaying symbols corresponding to the number of deviations (symbol frame advance). When “8121h” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “1” is set as the value of β. When “8122h” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “2” is set as the value of β. When “8123h” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “−1” is set as the value of β. When “8124h” is transmitted as the symbol command, a value of “−2” is set as the value of β. When “8125h” is transmitted as the symbol command, the value of “3” is set as the value of β. The symbol commands 8121h to 8125h are multi-commands that specify that the reach is determined to be shifted and the determined number of shifts of the medium symbol.

  Here, the number of symbol shifts will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the number of misplaced decorative designs. In FIG. 12, when the reach is lost, the number of shifts of the medium symbol with respect to the combination of big hit symbols will be described using an example in which “3” is used as a reference (when 333 is a combination of big hit symbols). The display order of the decorative symbols is determined in advance in the symbol order of “0” to “5”. For example, the symbol displayed before “3” is the jackpot symbol (“3”) + 1 frame “4”, and the symbol displayed after “3” is the jackpot symbol (“3”) − 1. It is “2” of the frame. In the case of this embodiment, the decorative symbols are six symbols of “0” to “5”, and the number of shifts of the middle symbol with respect to the jackpot symbol can be specified in the range of “± 1” to “± 3”.

  Returning to FIG. 7, various flags used in the game control process for controlling the progress of the game are set in the flag memory 572. For example, in the flag memory 572, a time-short flag indicating that the gaming state is the low probability and high base state, a first probability variable flag indicating that the gaming state is the high probability and low base state, and a high probability and high base state are indicated. The second probability variation flag shown and the big hit flag indicating that the big hit state is set.

  The start port switch timer memory 573 stores a timer value that is added or cleared in accordance with the winning detection signal SS input from the start port switch 14a.

  The variation pattern determination table memory 574 stores a variation pattern determination table used by the CPU 56 to determine a variation pattern for specifying the reference variation time for variation display in the special symbol display 8 and the variation display device 9. The reference variation time is a reference time for calculating variation time for performing variation display in the special symbol display 8 and the variation display device 9. For example, when the above-described re-lottery display during variation is performed during variation display, the variation time is calculated by adding the value of α to the reference variation time. Further, when the reach is lost, the fluctuation time is calculated by adding the value of β to the reference fluctuation time.

  Here, the variation pattern determination table stored in the variation pattern determination table memory 574 will be described with reference to FIG. As the variation pattern in the present embodiment, one variation pattern is determined based on the state of the big hit flag and the value of the random R4 that are set when it is determined that the big hit is made by the big hit determination.

  When the big hit flag is set to the ON state, the big hit hour variation pattern determination table is referred to. The big hit hour fluctuation pattern determination table is determined as a fluctuation pattern in which one fluctuation pattern per normal reach having a reference fluctuation time of “20 seconds” is executed when the value of the random R4 is within a range of “0 to 9”. Two fluctuation patterns per normal reach having a reference fluctuation time of “25 seconds” when it is within the range of “10 to 19” are determined as execution patterns, and when within the range of “20 to 39”, the reference fluctuation time is “35”. As a variation pattern to be executed, one variation pattern per super reach of “second” is executed as a variation pattern, and two variation patterns per super reach having a reference variation time of “45 seconds” when the variation range is “40 to 99”. Distribution is set as determined. In this way, the big hit fluctuation pattern determination table is executed in the order of two fluctuation patterns per normal reach, one fluctuation pattern per super reach, and two fluctuation patterns per super reach, rather than the ratio at which one fluctuation pattern per normal reach is determined. The distribution is set so that the ratio determined as the fluctuation pattern is high.

  On the other hand, when the big hit flag is not set to the on state, the loss variation pattern determination table is referred to. The deviation variation pattern determination table is determined as a variation pattern to be executed by a normal deviation variation pattern having a reference variation time of “10 seconds” when the value of the random R4 is within the range of “0 to 79”. When the value is within the range of “˜87”, the normal reach deviation with the reference variation time of “15 seconds” is determined as the variation pattern to be executed, and when within the range of “88 to 92”, the reference variation time is “20 seconds”. ”Is determined as the variation pattern to be executed, and when it is within the range of“ 93 to 96 ”, the super-reach out of the super-reach 1 variation pattern is determined as the variation pattern to be executed. , The fluctuation pattern executed by the two fluctuation patterns out of super reach when the reference fluctuation time is “40 seconds” when it is within the range of “97 to 99”. As determined as over emissions, sorting is set. In this way, the deviation variation pattern determination table has the highest ratio of determining the deviation deviation from the normal, the normal reach deviation 1 fluctuation pattern, the normal reach deviation 2 fluctuation pattern, the super reach deviation 1 fluctuation pattern, and the super reach deviation deviation 2 fluctuation pattern. In this order, the distribution is set so that the ratio determined as the variation pattern to be executed becomes lower.

  The game control microcomputer 560 uses a deviation variation pattern determination table, and a variation pattern command of “8000h” is transmitted as an effect control command when a variation variation pattern of normal is determined as a variation pattern. A variation pattern command of “8001h” is transmitted as an effect control command when the normal reach deviation 1 variation pattern is determined, and a variation pattern command of “8002h” is transmitted as an effect control command when the normal reach deviation 2 variation pattern is determined. Then, when the super reach deviation 1 variation pattern is determined, the variation control command “8003h” is transmitted as the effect control command, and when the super reach deviation 2 variation pattern is determined, 8004h "variation pattern command of is sent.

  The game control microcomputer 560 uses a big hit hour variation pattern determination table, and when one variation pattern per normal reach is determined as a variation pattern, a variation pattern command of “8010h” is transmitted as an effect control command. When two variation patterns per normal reach are determined, a variation pattern command “8011h” is transmitted as an effect control command. When one variation pattern per super reach is determined, a variation pattern command “8012h” is defined as an effect control command. Is transmitted, and a variation pattern command of “8013h” is transmitted as an effect control command when two variation patterns per super reach are determined.

  When the low-accuracy base state or the high-accuracy base state is controlled, as described above, the display time is derived and displayed at an early stage by reducing the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display in the special symbol display 8 or the like. Short time control is performed. In this case, for example, when the hit variation pattern determination table is used and the hit variation pattern is determined, the variation time is determined as “15 seconds”, and the loss variation pattern determination table is used to determine the shift variation pattern. In such a case, the time-shortening control may be performed by configuring so that “5 seconds” is set as the variation time.

  Here, an example of the variation display of the decorative symbols on the variation display device 9 will be described for the case where the re-lottery display during variation is performed and the case where the reach is lost. FIG. 14 (a) is a timing chart showing an example of a decorative symbol variation display when the variable re-lottery display is performed, and FIG. 14 (b) is a variation of the decorative symbol variation display when the reach is lost. It is a timing chart which shows an example. In FIGS. 14A and 14B, the left, middle, and right symbols are shown in the upper, middle, and lower stages in the vertical axis direction, and the passage of time is shown in the horizontal axis.

  First, with reference to FIG. 14A, a timing chart showing an example of a decorative symbol variation display when the variation re-lottery display is performed will be described. At the start of variation, the game command microcomputer 560 transfers the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the symbol command set in the symbol commands described in FIGS. 10 to 11 and the variation pattern command in FIG. The set variation pattern command is transmitted. In FIG. 14 (a), since the variation re-lottery display is performed, for example, “810Eh” indicating the probability variation big hit in which the variable mid-high accuracy re-lottery display is performed as the symbol command is used as the variation pattern command per super reach. It is assumed that “8013h” indicating the two variation pattern is transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the variation pattern command and the symbol command, the variation display device 9 starts the variation display of the left, middle and right symbols all at once. Then, the left, middle, and right symbols are variably displayed in a scroll display in which the symbols scroll in the vertical direction. As described above, the display order of the decorative symbols 0 to 5 is determined in advance, and is displayed in a manner that circulates in accordance with the display order, thereby performing variable display such as scroll display.

  When the predetermined left symbol stop time elapses from the start of the variable display, the left symbol is decelerated and displayed, and then when the predetermined right symbol stop time elapses from the start of the variable display, the right symbol Is decelerated and displayed. In FIG. 14A, since “8013h” indicating two variation patterns per super reach is received as the variation pattern command, the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed become the same symbol, and reach occurs. When the reach occurs, the middle symbol in the variation display is variably displayed in a variation mode called “symbol frame advance”. Here, the symbol frame advance is a change in which the decorative symbols are variably displayed by sequentially switching the symbols to be displayed in units of one frame (one symbol) and by sequentially sending the frames according to the symbol display order. Refers to an embodiment.

  In FIG. 14 (a), since “810Eh” indicating a probability variation big hit in which a variable mid-high probability re-lottery display is performed is received as a symbol command, symbols from a symbol with a deviation of −3 frames to a symbol that is a combination of a normal jackpot symbol are displayed. Frame-by-frame display is performed, and temporary stop is performed at a symbol that is a combination of the normal jackpot symbol, and the occurrence of a big hit is notified. Thereafter, a redrawing lottery display is performed during fluctuation. When a symbol confirmation command is received that specifies that the variation display is stopped and the variation display result is confirmed, the variation mid-high accuracy re-lottery display is terminated, the first probability variable big hit symbol is stopped, and the decorative symbol variation display is displayed. End. Note that the reference variation time described above with reference to FIG. 13 refers to the time that elapses from the start of variation display until the symbol that is a combination of the normal jackpot symbol temporarily stops. The variation time refers to the time elapsed from the start of the variation display until the control for stopping the symbol that becomes the first probability variation big hit symbol is performed, that is, the time obtained by adding the value of α to the reference variation time.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 14B, a timing chart showing an example of a decorative pattern variation display when the reach is out of place will be described. At the start of variation, for example, “8125h” indicating a ± 3 frame deviation as a symbol command and “8003h” indicating one variation pattern as a variation pattern command from the game control microcomputer 560 are sound / lamp control microcomputers. Suppose that it is transmitted to 700.

  When the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the variation pattern command and the symbol command, the variation display device 9 starts the variation display of the left, middle and right symbols all at once, and stops and displays the left and right symbols. When a symbol is generated, the symbol frame is shifted in the order of a symbol shifted by -3 frames, a symbol shifted by -2 frames, a symbol shifted by -1 frame, a symbol combined with a jackpot symbol, a symbol shifted by +1 frame, and a symbol shifted by +2 frames. When the feed is displayed, the symbol confirmation command is received at the timing when the symbol frame is displayed up to +3 frames shifted, the middle symbol stops at the symbol shifted by +3 frames on the left and right symbols, and the decorative symbol is displayed. The change display of is terminated. The reference variation time described above with reference to FIG. 13 refers to the time that elapses from when the variation display is started until when the symbol that is a combination of the big hit symbols passes through symbol frame advancement. The fluctuation time refers to the time elapsed from the start of the fluctuation display until the middle symbol stops the symbol shifted by +3 frames of the left and right symbols, that is, the time obtained by adding the value of β to the reference fluctuation time.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. 15 and 16 show main processing executed by the game control microcomputer 560 in response to the start of power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the reset signal to the game control microcomputer 560 becoming high level. It is a flowchart which shows. When the input level of the reset terminal to which the reset signal is input becomes high level, the game control microcomputer 560 executes a security check process that is a process for confirming whether the contents of the program are valid, The main processing after S (hereinafter simply referred to as S) 1 is started. In the main process, the game control microcomputer 560 first performs necessary initial settings.

  In the initial setting process, the game control microcomputer 560 first sets the interruption prohibited (S1). Next, an interrupt mode for maskable interrupts is set (S2), and a stack pointer designation address is set in the stack pointer (S3). In S2, an address synthesized from the value (1 byte) of the specific register (I register) of the game control microcomputer 560 and the interrupt vector (1 byte: least significant bit 0) output from the built-in device is Set to the mode that indicates the included address. When a maskable interrupt occurs, the game control microcomputer 560 automatically sets the interrupt disabled state and saves the contents of the program counter in the stack.

  Next, the built-in device register is set (initialized) (S4). By the process of S4, the CTC (counter / timer) and PIO (parallel input / output port), which are built-in devices (built-in peripheral circuits), are set (initialized).

  The game control microcomputer 560 used in this embodiment also incorporates an I / O port (PIO) and a timer / counter circuit (CTC) 504.

  Next, it is confirmed whether or not the power-off signal is in an OFF state according to the state of bit 0 of the input port 1 (S5). When power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the output voltage of various power sources such as a + 5V power source gradually reaches a specified value, but the power-off signal is not output by the process of S5 (that is, By confirming that the power supply voltage is stable, the game control microcomputer 560 can confirm that the power supply voltage is stable.

  When the power-off signal is on, the game control microcomputer 560 turns off the power-off signal again after a delay time of a predetermined period (for example, 0.1 second) (S80). Check if it exists. If the power-off signal is off, the RAM 55 is set to an accessible state (S6), and the process proceeds to a clear signal check process.

  When the power-off signal is in the on state, software delay processing for delaying the start timing of the gaming device control processing (game control processing) for controlling the progress of the game by software may be executed. By such software delay processing, the start timing of the game control processing can be delayed as compared with the case where the software delay processing is not executed. When the delay process is executed, a situation occurs in which another control board cannot receive a command transmitted from the game control board (main board 31) with respect to another control board (for example, the payout control board 37). Can be prevented.

  Note that the game control microcomputer 560 may confirm the state of the clear signal only once via the input port 0, but may confirm the state of the clear signal a plurality of times. For example, if it is confirmed that the state of the clear signal is OFF, a delay time of a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 seconds) is set, and then the state of the clear signal is reconfirmed. If it is confirmed that the clear signal is in the on state at that time, it is determined that the clear signal is in the on state. Further, at this time, if it is confirmed that the state of the clear signal is the off state, the state of the clear signal may be reconfirmed again after a predetermined delay time. Here, the number of reconfirmations is not limited to once or twice, but may be three or more times. It is also possible to check twice and check again when the check results do not match.

  Next, the game control microcomputer 560 checks whether or not the clear switch-on flag is set (S7). If the clear switch on flag is not set, data protection processing of the backup RAM area (for example, power supply stop processing such as addition of parity data) is performed when power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped. It is confirmed whether or not (S8). When power supply stops, processing for protecting data in the backup RAM area is performed. When it is confirmed that such power supply stop processing has been performed, the game control microcomputer 560 performs the power supply stop processing, that is, stores the control state at the time of power supply stop. It is determined that When it is confirmed that the power supply stop process is not being performed, the game control microcomputer 560 executes an initialization process.

  Whether or not the power supply stop process has been performed is determined based on the value of the backup monitoring timer stored in the backup RAM area in the power supply stop process depending on the execution of the power supply stop process (for example, 2). ) Is confirmed by whether or not. Note that such a confirmation method is merely an example. For example, a flag indicating that the power supply stop process has been executed is set in the backup flag area in the power supply stop process, and the flag is set in S8. If it is confirmed that the power supply is stopped, it may be determined that the power supply stop process has been performed.

  If it is determined that the control state at the time of stopping power supply is stored, the game control microcomputer 560 performs data check (parity check in this example) in the backup RAM area (S9). Clear data (00) is set in the checksum data area, and the checksum calculation start address is set in the pointer. Also, the number of checksum calculations corresponding to the number of data to be checksum is set. Then, the exclusive OR of the contents of the checksum data area and the contents of the RAM area pointed to by the pointer is calculated. The calculation result is stored in the checksum data area, the pointer value is incremented by 1, and the checksum calculation count value is decremented by 1. The above processing is repeated until the value of the checksum calculation count becomes zero. When the value of the checksum calculation count becomes 0, the game control microcomputer 560 inverts the value of each bit of the contents of the checksum data area and uses the inverted data as the checksum.

  In the power supply stop process, a checksum is calculated by the same process as described above, and the checksum is stored in the backup RAM area. In S9, the calculated checksum is compared with the stored checksum. When the power supply is stopped after an unexpected power failure or the like, the data in the backup RAM area should be saved, so the check result (comparison result) is normal (matched). That the check result is not normal means that the data in the backup RAM area may be different from the data when the power supply is stopped. In such a case, since the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply is stopped, the initialization process (the process of S10 to S14) that is executed when the power is turned on but not when the power supply is stopped is executed. To do.

  If the check result is normal, the game control microcomputer 560 returns the game state restoration process for returning the internal state of the game control means and the control state of the electrical component control means such as the effect control means to the state when the power supply is stopped. To do. Specifically, the start address of the backup setting table stored in the ROM 54 is set as a pointer (S91), and the contents of the backup setting table are sequentially set in the work area (area in the RAM 55) (S92). The work area is backed up by a backup power source. In the backup setting table, initialization data for an area that may be initialized in the work area is set. By the processing of S91 and S92, the saved contents remain as they are in the portion of the work area that should not be initialized. The parts that should not be initialized include, for example, data indicating a gaming state before the power supply is stopped (such as a special symbol process flag), an area where the output state of the output port is saved (output port buffer), and unpaid prize balls This is the part where data indicating the number is set.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 sets the head address of the backup command transmission table stored in the ROM 54 as a pointer (S93), and proceeds to S15.

  In the initialization process, the game control microcomputer 560 first performs a RAM clear process (S10). Note that the predetermined data may be left as it is without initializing the entire area of the RAM 55. Further, the start address of the initialization setting table stored in the ROM 54 is set as a pointer (S11), and the contents of the initialization setting table are sequentially set in the work area (S12).

  By the processing of S11 and S12, for example, a normal symbol determination random number counter, a normal symbol determination buffer, a special symbol buffer, a total prize ball number storage buffer, a special symbol process flag, an award ball flag, a ball out flag, etc. Accordingly, an initial value is set in a flag for selectively performing processing. In addition, a bit corresponding to the output port that outputs the connection confirmation signal in the output port buffer is set (corresponding to the ON state of the connection confirmation signal).

  The game control microcomputer 560 sets the initial address of the initialization command transmission table stored in the ROM 54 as a pointer (S13), and issues an initialization command for initializing the sub-board according to the contents. Processing to transmit to the sub-board is executed (S14). As an initialization command, a command indicating an initial symbol displayed on the variable display device 9, an initialization command to the payout control board 37, or the like can be used.

  In addition, the game control microcomputer 560 executes a random number circuit setting process for initial setting of the random number circuit 503a (S15). In this case, the CPU 56 performs setting according to the random number circuit setting program 551 to make the random number circuit 503a update the value of the random R1.

  Then, the game control microcomputer 560 sets a timer interrupt setting for setting a CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 560 so that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms). Processing is executed (S16). That is, for example, a value corresponding to 2 ms is set in a predetermined register (time constant register) as an initial value. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a timer interrupt is periodically taken every 2 ms.

  When the timer interrupt setting is completed, the game control microcomputer 560 repeatedly executes the display random number update process (S18). The game control microcomputer 560 disables the interrupt when the display random number update process is executed (S17), and enters the interrupt enable state when the display random number update process ends (S19). The display random numbers are random R3, which is a random counter for determining special symbols, random R4, which is a random counter for determining variation patterns, random R5, which is a random counter for re-lottery determination, and determination of the number of deviations. The display random number update process is a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the display random number.

  Note that when the display random number update process is executed, the interrupt disabled state is executed because the display random number update process is also executed in the timer interrupt process described later. This is to avoid doing so. That is, if the timer interrupt is generated during the processing of S18 and the count value of the counter for generating the display random number is updated during the timer interrupt processing, the continuity of the count value is impaired. There is. However, such an inconvenience does not occur if the interrupt is prohibited during the process of S18.

  As described above, the game clerk can easily start the initial operation by starting the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, turning on the power switch) while the clear switch is turned on and the clear signal is output. Can be executed. That is, RAM clear or the like can be performed.

  Next, the game control process will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the timer interrupt process. When a timer interrupt occurs during execution of the main process, specifically, during a period when interrupts are permitted during the execution of the loop process of S17 to S19, the game control microcomputer 560 causes the timer interrupt to occur. The game control process is executed in the timer interrupt process activated in response to the occurrence of the game. In the timer interrupt process, the game control microcomputer 560 first executes a power-off process (power-off detection process) for detecting whether or not a power-off signal is output (whether or not it is turned on) ( S20). Next, detection signals from switches such as the gate switch 32a, the start port switch 14a, the count switch 23, and the winning port switches 29a, 30a, 33a, and 39a are input through the switch circuit 58, and the state of these is determined (switches). Process: S21). Specifically, if the state of the input port for inputting the detection signal of each switch is ON, the value of the switch timer provided corresponding to each switch is incremented by one.

  Next, the game control microcomputer 560 confirms whether the initial value is updated when the count value is updated to a predetermined final value in the random number circuit setting process (see S15), and the random number is set. Processing for updating the initial value input to the counter of the circuit 503 is performed (initial value updating processing: S22). Further, the game control microcomputer 560 performs a process of updating the count value of the counter for generating the display random number (display random number update process: S23). Further, the game control microcomputer 560 performs a process of updating the count value of the game state determination counter used for the game state determination when it is determined that the game is a big hit (game state determination random number update process: S23a). The random R3 to R6 are updated by S18 and S23 described above, and the random R2 is updated by S23a.

  When the initial value update process and the display random number update process are performed, the game control microcomputer 560 performs a special symbol process (S25). In the special symbol process control, a corresponding process is selected and executed according to a special symbol process flag for controlling the pachinko gaming machine 1 in a predetermined order according to the gaming state. The value of the special symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state. Further, the normal symbol process is performed (S26). In the normal symbol process, the corresponding process is selected and executed according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 10 in a predetermined order. The value of the normal symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state.

  Next, the game control microcomputer 560 performs a process of sending an effect control command by setting an effect control command related to the effect in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 in synchronization with the change of the special symbol (effect control command control process: S27). In addition, that the effect is synchronized with the change of the special symbol means, for example, that the change time (variation display period) of the decorative symbol is the same.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 performs information output processing for outputting data such as jackpot information, start information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (S28).

  Further, the game control microcomputer 560 executes prize ball processing for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals from the prize opening switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a, etc. (S29). Specifically, a payout command signal such as a prize ball number signal indicating the number of prize balls is output to the payout control board 37 in response to winning detection based on turning on the prize opening switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a and the like. . The payout control microcomputer 370 mounted on the payout control board 37 drives the ball payout device 97 in response to receiving a prize ball number signal indicating the number of prize balls.

  Then, the game control microcomputer 560 executes a storage process for checking increase / decrease in the number of reserved memories (S30). In addition, a test terminal process, which is a process for outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be confirmed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, is executed (S31). Further, in this embodiment, a RAM area (output port buffer) corresponding to the output state of the output port is provided. However, the game control microcomputer 560 is related to the solenoid in the RAM area of the output port 2. Is output to the output port (S32: solenoid output processing). Thereafter, the game control microcomputer 560 sets the interrupt permitted state (S33), and ends the process.

  With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started periodically (for example, every 2 ms). In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by the timer interrupt process. However, in the timer interrupt process, for example, only a flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred is set. It may be executed in the main process based on the setting. Further, the processes of S21 to S32 (except S28 and S31) correspond to a game control process for controlling the progress of the game.

  In addition, the game control microcomputer 560 executes a process of counting the number of times the timer interrupt process has been executed. Each time the game control microcomputer 560 executes the timer interrupt process, the game control microcomputer 560 counts up an interrupt number counter indicating the number of times the timer interrupt process has been executed. For example, when the game control microcomputer 560 completes the solenoid output process in S32, the game control microcomputer 560 adds 1 to the value of an interrupt counter indicating the number of times the timer interrupt process has been executed.

  Also, for example, in the timer interrupt process, the switch process (see S21), the effect control command control process (see S27), and the interrupt count process (the number of times the timer interrupt process described above has been executed) in the game control process Only the process of counting the game (see S322 described later) may be executed, and the other processes of the game control process may be executed in the main process. In this case, in the loop process from S17 to S19 in the main process, the CPU 56 of the game control microcomputer 560 executes the processes of S22 to S26 and S29 to S33 (except S31) in the game control process. (The above interrupt count processing is not included). When the CPU 56 detects that the timer interrupt count has reached a predetermined number (for example, 3 times) after counting the interrupt count as described above in the timer interrupt process (see S322), the random number circuit It is determined that the condition for reading the random number value from 503a is satisfied, and a random number reading flag indicating that the condition for reading the random number value is satisfied is set. In the main process, the CPU 56 determines whether or not the random number read flag is set when executing the start port switch passing process (see S312) in the special symbol process (see S25). Is set, the output control signal SC is output to the random value storage circuit of the random number circuit 503a (see S323), and the value of the random R1 stored as the random value in the random value storage circuit is read (see FIG. (See S324). Then, in the main process, the CPU 56 determines whether or not to make a big hit based on the read random number value when executing the special symbol normal process (see S300) in the special symbol process (see S25). Become.

  Next, the special symbol process (S25) in the main process will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of a special symbol process processing program executed by the game control microcomputer 560. When the game control microcomputer 560 performs the special symbol process, if the start opening switch 14a for detecting that the game ball has won the start winning opening 14 provided in the game board 6 is turned on. That is, if a start winning that causes the game ball to win the start winning opening 14 has occurred (S311), after performing the start opening switch passing process (S312), any one of S300 to S308 is performed according to the internal state. Perform the following process.

  Special symbol normal processing (S300): State in which special symbol variation display can be started (for example, since the symbol variation has not been made in the special symbol display 8 and the previous symbol variation in the special symbol display 8 has ended) Wait until the predetermined period has passed and the game is not in a big hit game. When the special symbol variation display can be started, the start winning memory number for the special symbol is confirmed. If the starting winning memorized number is not 0, it is determined based on the random R1 generated by the random number circuit 503a whether the result of the special symbol variation display is a 15R big hit, a 2R big hit, or a deviation. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to shift to S301.

  Special symbol stop symbol setting process (S301): A special symbol stop symbol after the change display of the special symbol is determined. In the special symbol stop symbol setting process of the present embodiment, a process for determining whether or not to execute the re-lottery display is further performed. In the case of 15R big hit or 2R big hit, processing for setting a symbol command to be transmitted to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 is performed. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to shift to S302.

  Fluctuation time setting process (S302): A fluctuation pattern is determined, and the fluctuation time from the start of fluctuation display until the display result is derived and displayed (stop display) is determined as the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the special symbol. . When the reach deviation occurs, the fluctuation pattern and the deviation number are determined, and a value obtained by adding the time corresponding to the deviation number to the reference fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern is set as the fluctuation time. When changing lottery display is executed as the re-lottery display, the value obtained by adding the time required for performing the changing lottery display to the reference fluctuation time specified from the determined fluctuation pattern is changed. Set as time. Also, a variation pattern command to be transmitted to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 is set, and a variation time timer for measuring the variation time of the special symbol (elapsed time from the start of variation display) is started. In the case of a loss, a process of setting a symbol command to be transmitted to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 is performed. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to shift to S303.

  Special symbol variation processing (S303): When a predetermined time (time indicated by the variation time timer in S302) elapses, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to shift to S304.

  Special symbol stop process (S304): A symbol confirmation command used to instruct the stop of the decorative symbol is transmitted to the sound / lamp control board 70. Moreover, the special symbol in the special symbol display 8 is stopped. When the special symbol stop symbol is a 15R big hit symbol or a 2R big hit symbol, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to shift to S305. Otherwise, the internal state is updated to shift to S300. It should be noted that the symbol confirmation command may not be transmitted. In this case, the sound / lamp control board 70 sets the fluctuation time to the fluctuation time timer based on the fluctuation pattern command from the main board 31 and the symbol command, and updates the fluctuation time timer to update the decoration pattern. It is sufficient to monitor the fluctuation time of the original and perform a process of stopping the decorative symbol when it is determined that the fluctuation time has elapsed.

  Preliminary winning opening opening process (S305): Control for opening the large winning opening is started. Specifically, a counter (for example, a counter that counts the number of game balls that have entered the big winning opening) and a flag (a flag used when detecting winning in the winning opening) are initialized, and the solenoid 21 is driven. Open the big prize opening. Also, the process timer sets the execution time of the big prize opening opening process and sets the big hit flag. Then, the internal state (special symbol process flag) is updated to shift to S306.

  Processing for opening a special prize opening (S306): Control for sending a presentation control command for round display of the special prize opening to the sound / lamp control board 70 and closing conditions for the special prize opening (for example, a predetermined number (for example, 10 To confirm that the game balls have won). When the closing condition of the big prize opening is satisfied, the internal state is updated to shift to S307.

  Specific area valid time processing (S307): Monitors whether or not the V winning switch 22 has passed, and performs processing for confirming that the big hit gaming state continuation condition is satisfied. If the condition for continuing the big hit gaming state is satisfied and there are still remaining rounds, the internal state is updated to shift to S305. Further, when the big hit gaming state continuation condition is not satisfied within a predetermined effective time, or when all rounds are finished, the internal state is updated to shift to S308.

  Big hit end processing (S308): Control is performed to cause the effect control means to perform display control for notifying the player that the 15R big hit gaming state has ended or that the 2R big hit gaming state has ended. Then, the internal state is updated to shift to S300. In the big hit end process, when the gaming state after the 15R big hit game or the 2R big hit game is controlled to the low-accuracy base state, a process of setting the short time flag to the ON state is performed. Thereby, the control to the low-accuracy base state can be started. In the big hit end process, when the gaming state after the 15R big hit game or the 2R big hit game is controlled to the high probability low base state, the first probability variable flag is set to the on state. Thereby, the control to a highly accurate low base state can be started. In the big hit end process, when the gaming state after the 15R big hit game or the 2R big hit game is controlled to the high-accuracy high-base state, a process of setting the second probability change flag to the ON state is performed. Thereby, the control to a highly accurate base state can be started.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the start port switch passage process (S312). In the start-port switch passing process, the game control microcomputer 560 has reached the maximum value of 4, which is the start-winning memory number indicated by the start-winning counter (or the start-winning memory number stored in the special figure holding memory 570). (S321). If the start winning memory number has not reached 4, the game control microcomputer 560 determines whether or not the number of executions of the timer interruption process indicated by the interruption execution number counter has reached a predetermined number (for example, 3 times). Is confirmed (S322). When it is detected that the game ball has won the start winning opening 14, the game control microcomputer 560 resets the interrupt execution counter. Then, the game control microcomputer 560 checks whether or not the interrupt execution number counter has reached a predetermined number after the game ball has won the start winning opening 14.

  The value preset as the predetermined number of times in S322 is determined as follows. As described above, the timer circuit of the random number circuit 503a measures the time during which the winning detection signal SS is continuously input from the start port switch 14a, and if it detects that the measurement time has reached a predetermined period, Write capture data “01h”. In this embodiment, a predetermined period (for example, 3 ms) measured by the timer circuit is a period in which a predetermined number of timer interrupt processes are executed (for example, 6 ms when the timer interrupt process is performed three times every 2 ms). ) Is set to a predetermined number (for example, three times) used in S322. By setting in such a manner, it is possible to prevent the random number from being read again after the random number is read and before the value of the random number stored in the random value storage circuit is updated. It is possible to prevent a random number having the same value as the random number read out from being read out again.

  When the number of executions of the timer interrupt process has reached a predetermined number, the CPU 56 outputs an output control signal SC to the random number value storage circuit of the specified random number circuit 503a, so that the random number value storage circuit can be read (enabled). Control is performed (S323).

  The CPU 56 reads the value of the random R1 stored as the random value from the random value storage circuit of the random number circuit 503a (S324). At this time, the CPU 56 further reads the values of random R2 to R6. Further, the CPU 56 stores the random values R1 to R6 read in S324 in, for example, a predetermined buffer area provided in the RAM 55 (S325). Further, when the values of the random numbers R1 to R6 are stored in the buffer area, the CPU 56 stops outputting the output control signal SC to the random value storage circuit and controls the random value storage circuit to an unreadable (disabled) state (S326). ). Further, the CPU 56 resets the interrupt execution number counter (S327). Then, the CPU 56 sets the values of the random R1 to R6 stored in the predetermined buffer area to the head of the empty entry in the special figure reservation memory 570 (S328), and adds 1 to the start winning counter count number. The stored number is increased by 1 (S329).

  If the start prize is stored in S321 but the maximum value of 4 has been reached, and if the number of executions of the timer interrupt process has not reached the predetermined number in S322, the start port switch passing process is terminated.

  As described above, the timer interrupt process has been executed a predetermined number of times in reading the random R from the random value storage circuit in the start port switch passing process (that is, continued while the timer interrupt process is executed a predetermined number of times). The random number is read from the random value storage circuit on the condition that the winning detection signal SS is input). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the random number from being read again after the random number is read and before the value of the random number stored in the random value storage circuit is updated. Further, it is possible to prevent a random number having the same value as the random number read from the previous random number value storage circuit from being read again.

  Next, the special symbol normal process (S300) in the special symbol process will be described. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a special symbol normal process executed when the big hit game is finished. In the special symbol normal processing, the game control microcomputer 560 is in a state where the variation of the special symbol can be started (for example, when the value of the special symbol process flag is a value indicating S300) (S380), The random numbers R1 to R6 stored in correspondence with the holding number “1” are read from the special figure holding memory 570 (S381). In this case, the game control microcomputer 560 decrements the count of the start prize counter by 1 to reduce the number of reserved memories by 1, and the second to fourth entries (holding number “2”) in the special figure holding memory 570. To “4”), the values of the random numbers R1 to R6 are shifted upward by one entry (S382).

  In addition, the game control microcomputer 560 checks whether the first probability variation flag or the second probability variation flag is set (S383). That is, the game control microcomputer 560 confirms whether or not the game state is controlled to the certain change state. When the first probability variation flag or the second probability variation flag is not set, the game control microcomputer 560 determines that the gaming state is a normal state other than the probability variation state, and displays the display result of the special symbol display 8 as a jackpot symbol. As a table used for determining whether or not to set, a normal big hit determination table (see FIG. 8) is set (S384). When the first probability variation flag or the second probability variation flag is set, the game control microcomputer 560 determines that the gaming state is the probability variation state, and uses the display result of the special symbol display 8 as the jackpot symbol. As a table used to determine whether or not, a probability change big hit determination table (see FIG. 8) is set (S385).

  The game control microcomputer 560 determines whether or not the display result of the special symbol display 8 is a jackpot symbol based on the value of the random R1 stored in the predetermined buffer area in the start port switch passing process (S386). ). In this case, the game control microcomputer 560 determines whether or not to win, using the normal jackpot determination table set in S384 or the probability change jackpot determination table set in S385.

  If it is determined that the display result of the special symbol display 8 is a jackpot symbol, the game control microcomputer 560 further determines whether or not the symbol is a 2R jackpot symbol (S386a). If it is determined that the jackpot symbol is the 2R jackpot symbol, the game control microcomputer 560 turns on the 2R jackpot flag indicating that the 2R jackpot is generated (S387a). On the other hand, when determining that the jackpot symbol is not the 2R jackpot symbol, the game control microcomputer 560 turns on the 15R jackpot flag indicating that the 15R jackpot is generated (S387b). If the display result of the special symbol display 8 is determined not to be a big hit symbol, the game control microcomputer 560 turns off the big hit flag (S388). Then, the game control microcomputer 560 updates the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the special symbol stop symbol setting process (S389).

  Next, the special symbol stop symbol setting process (S301) in the special symbol process process will be described. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a special symbol stop symbol setting process. In the special symbol stop symbol setting process, first, in S390, it is determined whether or not the 15R big hit flag or the 2R big hit flag is set to the ON state. When it is determined that the 15R big hit flag or the 2R big hit flag is set to the on state, processing for setting a gaming state determination table corresponding to the current gaming state is performed in S391. In S392, based on the value of the random R2, the gaming state determination table set in S391 is looked up, and processing for determining the gaming state to be controlled after the big hit gaming state is completed is performed. In S393, a big hit symbol is determined, and in the case of 15R big hit, it is further determined whether or not a re-lottery display is executed, and a symbol command setting process for setting a symbol command is performed.

  When it is determined in S390 that the big hit flag is not set to the ON state, in S396, a process of determining a deviation symbol based on the value of the random R3 read in S381 from “0, 1” which is a deviation symbol is performed. For example, when the read random R3 value is 0, 2, or 4, “0” is determined as the off symbol, and when the read random R3 value is 1, 3, or 5, “1” is determined as the off symbol. Processing is performed.

  In S397, a process of setting the symbol determined in S393 or S396 as a scheduled stop symbol is performed. When the variation time to be described later elapses after the special symbol variation display is started, the scheduled stop symbol set in S397 is stopped and displayed as a display result of the special symbol variation display. In addition, when the above-mentioned re-lottery display at the end is performed, the scheduled stop symbol is changed after the re-lottery display at the end after the end re-lottery display is performed without displaying the display result even if the fluctuation time described later has elapsed. You may control to stop-display as a display result of a display. In S398, processing for updating the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the variation time setting processing is performed.

  Next, the symbol command setting process (S393) in the special symbol stop symbol setting process will be described. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the symbol command setting process. In the symbol command setting process, first, in S347, a process of determining whether or not the 2R big hit flag is set to the on state is performed. When the 2R big hit flag is set to the ON state in S347, a process of determining “2” as the big hit symbol is performed in S348. In S349, a process of setting a symbol command for specifying that the game state determined in S392 is controlled with 2R big hit is performed, and the symbol command setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S347 that the 2R big hit flag is not set to the ON state, it is determined in S350 whether or not it is determined in S392 that the high-accuracy low base state is to be controlled. When it is determined in S350 that the high probability low base state is to be controlled, a process of determining “3” as the first probability variable big hit symbol as a big hit symbol is performed in S351.

  In S352, a process of looking up the high accuracy low base state transition table described with reference to FIG. 10C is performed. As described above, when the current gaming state is controlled with low accuracy, the table for low accuracy time is looked up, and when controlled with high accuracy, the table for high accuracy time is looked up. Is done. In S353, processing for determining whether or not re-lottery is executed is performed according to the value of the random R5 read in S381. In S354, a symbol command is set according to the determination in S353 as a symbol command to be transmitted to the sound / lamp control board 70, and the symbol command setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is not determined in S350 that the high-accuracy / low base state is to be controlled, a process is performed in S355 to determine whether or not it is determined to control in the high-accuracy / high base state in S392. When it is determined in S355 that the high-accuracy high-base state is to be controlled, a process of determining “4”, which is the second probability variation big hit symbol, as a big hit symbol is performed in S356.

  In S357, the process for looking up the table with high-accuracy base state transition described with reference to FIG. As described above, when the current gaming state is controlled with low accuracy, the table for low accuracy time is looked up, and when controlled with high accuracy, the table for high accuracy time is looked up. Is done. In S358, a process of determining whether or not to execute the re-lottery according to the value of the random R5 read in S381 is performed. In S359, a process of setting a symbol command according to the determination in S358 is performed as a symbol command to be transmitted to the sound / lamp control board 70, and the symbol command setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is not determined in S355 that the high accuracy base state is to be controlled, a process is performed in S360 to determine whether or not it is determined to control in the low accuracy high base state in S392. If it is determined in S360 that the low-accuracy base state is to be controlled, a process of determining “2”, which is a short-time big hit symbol, as a big hit symbol is performed in S361.

  In S362, a process of looking up the low-accuracy base state transition table described with reference to FIG. 10B is performed. In S363, a process for determining whether or not to execute the re-lottery according to the value of the random R5 read in S381 is performed. In S364, a symbol command corresponding to the determination in S363 is set as a symbol command to be transmitted to the sound / lamp control board 70, and the symbol command setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is not determined in S360 that the low-accuracy and high-base state is to be controlled, it is the case where the low-accuracy and low-base state is controlled. Based on the value of the random R3, a process of determining a big hit symbol is performed. For example, when the read random R3 value is 0, 2, or 4, the normal big hit symbol “0” is determined as the big hit symbol, and when the read random R3 value is 1, 3, 5 A process of determining “1”, which is a normal jackpot symbol, as a jackpot symbol is performed.

  In S366, a process of looking up the table with low probability and low base state transition described with reference to FIG. In S367, processing for determining whether or not re-lottery is executed is performed according to the value of random R5 read in S381. In S368, a symbol command is set according to the determination in S367 as a symbol command to be transmitted to the sound / lamp control board 70, and the symbol command setting process is terminated. When the time reduction flag, the first probability variation flag, or the second probability variation flag is set to the on state, processing for setting the off state in S368 is performed. Thereby, the time-short state and the probability variation state can be terminated.

  Next, the variation time setting process (S302) in the special symbol process will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the variation time setting process. In the variation time setting process, first, in S410, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is set to the on state. When it is determined that the big hit flag is set in the ON state, in S411, the big hit hour variation pattern determination table described with reference to FIG. 13 is looked up.

  In S412, according to the value from the random R4 read out in S381, processing for determining a variation pattern is performed using the big hit hour variation pattern determination table looked up in S411.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S410 that the big hit flag has not been set, processing for looking up the loss variation pattern determination table described with reference to FIG. 13 is performed in S413.

  In S414, a process for determining a variation pattern is performed using the loss variation pattern determination table looked up in S413 according to the value from the random R4 read in S381.

  In S415, processing is performed to determine whether or not the variation pattern determined in S414 is a reach deviation variation pattern. When it is determined in S415 that the reach is a deviation variation pattern, processing for looking up the reach time table among the loss time tables described in FIG. 11 is performed in S416. In S417, processing for determining the number of deviations (deviation) of the medium symbol is performed according to the value from the random R6 read in S381. In S418, a process of setting an outlier symbol command ("8121h to 8125h") corresponding to the number of deviations determined in S417 is performed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S415 that the reach is not a shift variation pattern, as described using the non-reach time table among the loss time tables shown in FIG. 11, "8120h" is set as the out-of-reach symbol command in S419. Is set as a symbol command.

  The setting of the symbol command in S349, S354, S359, S364, S368, S418 or S419 described above specifically refers to a process of setting the symbol command data in the buffer of the RAM 55. The set symbol command is output from the game control microcomputer 560 to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 in S27 of FIG. 17 as an effect control command.

  In S420, a process of setting a variation pattern command corresponding to the variation pattern determined in S412 or S414 is performed as the variation pattern command transmitted to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700.

  The setting of the variation pattern command in S420 specifically refers to a process of setting variation pattern command data in the buffer of the RAM 55. The set variation pattern command is output from the game control microcomputer 560 to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 in S27 of FIG. 17 as an effect control command.

  In S421, based on the reference variation time of the variation pattern determined in S412 or S414 and the α value or β value specified from the symbol command set in S354, S359, S364, S368, or S418, Processing for setting the variation time is performed. In S422, based on the variation pattern determined in S412 or S414, the special symbol process flag value is updated to a value corresponding to the special symbol variation process in order to start a new variation display on the special symbol display 8. The process is performed, and the variable time setting process is terminated.

  Next, the specific area valid time process (S307) in the special symbol process will be described. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the specific area valid time processing. In the specific area valid time process, first, in S430, a process of determining whether or not there is a V prize based on a detection signal from the V prize switch 22 is performed. When it is determined in S430 that there has been a V prize, processing for determining whether or not there is a remaining round is performed in S431. When it is determined in S431 that there is a remaining round, a process of updating the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the pre-opening process for the big prize opening is performed in S432.

  On the other hand, if “NO” is determined in S430 or S431, it is determined in S433 whether or not the symbol command set in S354, S359, S364, or S368 is a symbol command for performing re-lottery display at the end. Processing for determination is performed. That is, a process is performed to determine whether or not the command is a symbol command for performing high probability re-lottery display at the end or high base re-lottery display at the end. When it is determined in S433 that the re-lottery display at the end is to be performed, a process of setting T1 as an effect timer for performing the re-lottery display at the end is performed in S434. On the other hand, if it is determined in S433 that the end-time re-lottery display is not performed, a process of setting T2 as an effect timer for performing a normal ending display is performed in S435. If it is the symbol command set in S349, the process proceeds to S435. Note that a value smaller than the value of T1 is set as the value of T2 in the present embodiment. Thereby, the execution time of the normal ending display can be made shorter than the execution time of the re-lottery display at the end.

  In S436, processing for setting an ending switch command for switching to the effect of notifying that the big hit has ended is performed. In S437, a process of updating the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the jackpot end process is performed in order to end the jackpot. In the big hit ending process, the effect timer T1 or T2 set in S434 or S435 is subtracted, and when it is determined that it has reached 0, an ending end command is sent to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700. And the process of updating the value of the special symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the special symbol normal process is performed.

  Next, the normal symbol process (S26) in the main process will be described. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of a normal symbol process processing program executed by the game control microcomputer 560. When the game control microcomputer 560 performs the normal symbol process, if the gate switch 32a for detecting that the game ball has passed through the gate 32 provided on the game board 6 is turned on, that is, the game. If the sphere has passed through the gate 32 (S450), after performing the gate switch passage process (S451), any one of S452 to S455 is performed according to the internal state.

  In the gate switch passage process, the upper limit is the value of the gate passage storage counter that holds and stores the game balls that have passed through the gate switch 32a but are not yet used for the normal symbol variation display on the normal symbol display 10. It is determined whether or not “4” or more. If it is less than “4”, the gate passing memory counter is updated by adding “1”, and a random counter for normal symbol determination for determining whether or not the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 is made a winning symbol. The count value is extracted from and stored in the random number storage area corresponding to the added gate passage storage counter.

  In S452, normal symbol normal processing is performed. In the normal symbol normal process, a hit determination process is performed based on the count value extracted from the random counter for normal symbol determination. When the hit determination process determines that a hit is made, the hit flag is set to the on state. Then, a process of updating the value of the normal symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the normal symbol variation process of S453 is performed. In the hit determination process, when the time-short flag or the second accuracy variation flag is set to the on state, that is, the low accuracy high base state or the high accuracy high base state than when the low accuracy low base state or high accuracy low base state The process is performed so that the rate of determination of winning is higher when. For example, the number of hit judgment values determined to be hits may be set to a low or high base state or high as compared with the low or low base state or high and low base state. You may comprise so that it may be performed by setting many, when it is a reliable base state. Thereby, the probability of hitting the normal symbol during the time-short state can be made higher than that during the non-time-short state.

  In S453, normal symbol variation processing is performed. In the normal symbol variation process, when a predetermined variation time has elapsed, a process of updating the value of the normal symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the normal symbol stop process is performed. The fluctuation time is lower in the low-accuracy base state or the higher-accuracy base state than when the short-time flag or the second accuracy variation flag is set to the on state, that is, in the low-accuracy low base state or the high-accuracy low base state. In some cases, the setting process is performed so as to be shorter. Thereby, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol in the time-short state can be shortened as compared with that in the non-time-short state.

  In S454, a normal symbol stop process is performed. In the normal symbol stop process, a process for controlling the normal symbol on the normal symbol display 10 is performed. When the hit flag is set to the on state, processing for updating the value of the normal symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the normal electric accessory operation processing is performed. On the other hand, when the hit flag is not set to the on state, a process of updating the value of the normal symbol process flag to a value corresponding to the normal symbol normal process is performed.

  In S455, normal electric accessory operation processing is performed. In the ordinary electric accessory actuating process, the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is opened and a process for confirming that the closing condition of the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is satisfied is performed. When the closing condition is satisfied, the normal variable winning ball apparatus 58 is controlled to be in the closed state, and the normal symbol process flag value is updated to a value corresponding to the normal symbol normal process. The closing condition is the low-accuracy base state or the high-accuracy base state, when the short-time flag or the second accuracy variation flag is set to the on state, that is, the low-accuracy low-base state or the high-accuracy low-base state. Is set so that the number of times of opening is larger and the opening time per opening is longer. As a result, the number of times the variable winning ball device 15 is opened when the normal symbol is won during the short-time state can be increased, and the opening time per opening can be increased.

  Next, the operation of the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 will be described. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing a sound / lamp control main process executed by the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700. In the sound / lamp control main processing, first, initialization processing is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval, and the like (S501).

  When the initialization process is completed, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 monitors a timer interrupt flag (S502). When a timer interrupt occurs, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 sets “1” as the value of the timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. If “1” is set as the value of the timer interrupt flag in S502, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 clears the value of the timer interrupt flag (S503) and executes the following effect control processing. .

  A timer interrupt occurs every 33 ms, for example. That is, the sound / lamp control process is started, for example, every 33 ms. In the timer interrupt process in this embodiment, only the process of setting “1” as the value of the timer interrupt flag is performed, and the specific sound / lamp control process is executed in the main process. The sound / lamp control process may be executed in the process.

  In the effect control process, first, a command analysis process for analyzing the received effect control command is executed (S504). Next, an effect to be executed is determined from a plurality of types of effects based on the received effect control command, and a process of setting a display control command corresponding to the determined effect is executed (S505). And the process which transmits the set display control command to the microcomputer 800 for display control is performed (S506).

  Also, a sound control process for performing sound control based on the effect determined according to the received effect control command (a process for executing sound control by selecting a process corresponding to the control state) is executed (S507). . Further, lamp control (prize ball lamp 51, ball break lamp 52, decoration lamp 25, game effect lamp 40, top frame lamp 28a, left frame lamp 28b, and right frame based on the effect determined according to the received effect control command. A lamp control process for controlling the lamp 28c (a process for executing a lamp control by selecting a process corresponding to the control state) is executed (S508). As a result, it is possible to perform a sound effect or a lamp effect that is consistent (synchronized) with the display effect in the variable display device 9.

  Next, a random number update process for updating a predetermined random counter is executed (S509). In the random number update process, for example, an effect determination random counter (also referred to as RS1) for determining an effect to be executed from a plurality of effects, a symbol determination random counter (left) for determining a combination of stop symbols RS2-1 for symbol determination, RS2-2 for middle symbol determination, and RS2-2 for right symbol determination), temporary stop symbol determination for determining a combination of temporary stop symbols to be temporarily stopped in the re-lottery display Various random counters such as a random counter (also referred to as RS3) and an effect mode determining random counter (also referred to as RS4) for determining the effect mode are updated. Thereafter, the process returns to S502 for checking the timer interrupt flag.

  Here, the various random counters updated in the random number update process of S509 will be described in detail. FIG. 27 is a diagram for explaining various random counters used by the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 for effect control. FIG. 27 shows four types of random counters, random counters RS1 to RS4.

  First, the random RS1 is a random counter for updating a count value used to randomly determine which effect is to be executed based on the variation pattern command among the effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560. It is. The random RS1 is updated every 33 msec, updated from 0 and updated to 99 which is the upper limit, and then updated from 0 again.

  Random RS2-1 to Random RS2-3 update the count value used to randomly determine which symbol is to be stopped based on the symbol command among the effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560. It is a random counter for. Random RS2-1 to Random RS2-3 are updated from 0 and updated from 0 again after being updated to 5 which is the upper limit. RS2-1 is updated every 33 msec. Also, the random RS2-2 is incremented by one for each carry of the random R2-1. Random RS2-3 is incremented by one for each carry of random RS2-2.

  In this embodiment, when a symbol command indicating that a normal jackpot symbol is input from the game control microcomputer 560, a combination of three “0” decorative symbols, or “1” The stop symbol is determined so that the combination of three decorative symbols is stopped and displayed. In addition, when a symbol command indicating that the game will be a short and large bonus symbol is input from the game control microcomputer 560, the stop symbol is determined so that the combination of three “2” decorative symbols is stopped and displayed. Is done. In addition, when a symbol command indicating that the first probability variation jackpot symbol is input from the game control microcomputer 560, the stop symbol is displayed so that a combination of three “3” decorative symbols is stopped. Is determined. When a symbol command indicating that the second probability variation jackpot symbol is input from the game control microcomputer 560, a combination of three “4” decorative symbols, or “5” decorative symbol 3 The stop symbol is determined so that the combination of combinations is stopped and displayed. Further, when a symbol command indicating that a 2R jackpot symbol is input from the game control microcomputer 560, the stop symbol is determined so that the combination of the decorative symbols “123” is stopped and displayed.

  When the variation pattern command input from the game control microcomputer 560 to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 is a reach deviation variation pattern command for generating a reach state, the left determined by RS2-1 is used. The same symbol as the symbol is determined as the stop symbol of the right symbol, and the symbol arranged at the position of the number of deviations specified from the left symbol and the symbol command determined using RS2-1 is determined as the stop symbol of the middle symbol. Processing is performed.

  The random RS 3 is a random counter for updating a count value used for randomly determining which symbol is temporarily stopped as a big hit symbol based on the symbol command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560. Random RS3 is updated every 33 msec, updated from 0 and updated to 5 which is the upper limit, and then updated from 0 again.

  Random RS4 is a random counter for updating the count value used for randomly selecting the effect mode after the end of the 2R big hit game. The random RS4 is updated every 33 msec, updated from 0, updated to 9 which is the upper limit thereof, and then updated from 0 again. Here, the effect mode refers to the type of character, background screen, effect content, etc. displayed on the variable display device 9. The production mode in the present embodiment is composed of a sea mode, a mountain mode, a sky mode, and a space mode. When the sea mode is selected as the effect mode, a character related to the sea, a background screen, contents of effects, and the like are set. When the mountain mode is determined as the production mode, a character related to the mountain, a background screen, production contents, and the like are set. When the sky mode is selected as the effect mode, a character related to the sky, the background screen, the contents of the effect, etc. are set. When the space mode is selected as the production mode, a character related to the universe, a background screen, production contents, and the like are set. In addition, the effect mode corresponding to the game state after the end of the big hit is selected as the effect mode after the end of the 15R big hit game.

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of command analysis processing in which the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 analyzes the effect control command input from the game control microcomputer 53.

  First, in S510, an effect control command received by the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 is temporarily stored in a storage area provided in the RAM 75 mounted on the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700. A process is performed to determine whether or not there is a new received command in the command receiving buffer.

  When it is determined that there is a new received command in S510, the received command is read in S512, and in S513, it is determined whether or not the read command is a symbol command. If it is determined in S513 that the command is a symbol command, processing for setting a flag corresponding to the symbol command is performed in S514, and the process proceeds to S515.

  In S514, when the symbol command is a command indicating that the normal jackpot symbol is set, a normal big hit flag indicating that a big hit by the normal jackpot symbol is generated is set to ON to indicate that the symbol jackpot symbol will be a short-time big hit symbol When the command is set, the hourly jackpot flag indicating that the jackpot is to be generated by the hourly jackpot symbol is set to ON, and when the command is to indicate that the first probability variable jackpot symbol is to be generated, the jackpot is generated by the first probability variable jackpot symbol. The first probability variable big hit flag indicating that the second positive variation big hit flag is set to the ON state, and the second positive probability big hit flag indicating that the big positive is generated by the second probability variable big hit symbol when the command indicates that the second probability variable big hit is set. 2R jackpot is generated when the command indicates that 2R jackpot will be set, and 2R jackpot A deviation number flag corresponding to the number of deviations is set when the 2R jackpot flag that can specify the gaming state to be controlled after the game ends is set to an on state, and the number of deviations of the medium symbol when the reach is lost is specified. Is set to the on state, and when the command is a re-lottery display, the corresponding re-lottery flag is set to the on state. As the type of re-drawing flag, the floating medium high-precision re-lottery flag and the floating middle-high base re-lottery display that are set when the symbol command is a command indicating that the floating middle / high-precision lottery display or the combined re-lottery display is executed. Fluctuating medium-high base re-lottery flag set when the command indicates to execute, end high-precision re-lottery flag set when the command indicates to execute the high-precision re-lottery display at the end, And an end high base re-lottery flag that is set when the command indicates that the end high base re-lottery display or the composite re-lottery display is to be executed.

  In S515, processing for determining whether or not the command is a variation pattern command is performed. When it is determined in S515 that the command is a variation pattern command, a processing for setting an effect start flag for starting an effect such as variation display is performed in S516, and the variation pattern specified from the received variation pattern command is reached. If it is a variation pattern, processing for setting the reach flag to the ON state is performed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S515 that the command is not a variation pattern command, in S517, it is determined whether or not the command is a symbol determination command for ending the decorative symbol variation display. When it is determined in S517 that the received command is a symbol determination command, a stop flag is set in S517b, and a command for instructing stop of the ornament symbol is transmitted to the display control microcomputer 800. A process for specifying and setting a stop command is performed, and the process proceeds to S518. When the symbol confirmation command is received as an effect control command in this way, the relationship between the symbol confirmation command and the stop command is associated with one to one, and for example, transmitted in response to the reception of the symbol confirmation command. The display control command to be transmitted is specified in correspondence with the received effect control command, such as specifying the stop command to be performed. The set stop command is transmitted to the display control microcomputer 800 in S506.

  In S518, processing for determining whether or not the command is an ending switching command is performed. If it is determined in S518 that the received command is not an ending switch command, the process proceeds to S519. On the other hand, when it is determined in S518 that the received command is an ending switch command, an ending start flag is set in S518b and an ending start command set in S560 described later with reference to FIG. 43 is set. . The ending start command is a command that is transmitted to the display control microcomputer 800 and used to start an effect indicating that the big hit has ended.

  The setting of the ending start command specifically refers to a process of setting the ending start command data in the buffer of the RAM 55. The set ending start command is output as a display control command from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 in S506 of FIG.

  In S518c, processing for setting an effect mode command corresponding to the set effect mode flag is performed. Setting the production mode command specifically refers to a process of setting production mode command data in the buffer of the RAM 55. The set effect mode command is output as a display control command from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 in S506 of FIG. Thereby, after that, an effect specified from the effect mode command can be performed on the variable display device 9.

  In S519, when there is another received command, a flag corresponding to the received command is set, and the command analysis processing is terminated. For example, when an ending end command is received, an ending end flag is set and a process of transmitting the ending end command to the display control microcomputer 800 is performed.

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of command setting processing for executing processing for setting various commands when the effect start flag is set in S516 of FIG.

  First, in S520, a process for determining whether or not an effect start flag is set is performed. If it is determined in S520 that the effect start flag is not set to the on state, the command setting process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined in S520 that the effect start flag is set, processing of reading the values of random RS1 to random RS4 and storing them in a predetermined buffer area is performed in S520a. In S521, an end-time re-lottery display determination process for determining the type of the end-time re-lottery display is performed. In S522, a decorative symbol determination process for determining a combination of decorative symbols to be stopped in the variable display device 9 is performed. In S523, a decoration variation pattern determination process for determining a variation pattern of the decoration symbol in the variation display device 9 is performed. In S524, a display control command setting process for setting a display control command specified based on the determination process in S521 to S523 is performed. The command setting process is terminated.

  FIG. 30 is a flowchart for explaining the re-lottery display determination process (S521) at the end of the command setting process.

  In the end-time re-lottery display determination processing, first, in S525, processing is performed to determine whether or not the end-time re-lottery flag is set. When it is determined that the end-time re-lottery flag is not set to the on state, the end-time re-lottery display determination process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined in S525 that the end-time re-lottery flag is set to the on state, the effect of the re-lottery display associated in advance for each gaming state as the end-time re-lottery display effect content. Among them, a process for setting the effect of the re-lottery display associated with the currently controlled gaming state is performed, and the end-time re-lottery display determination process is terminated.

  Here, the contents of the re-lottery display effect associated in advance for each gaming state will be described. FIG. 31 is a diagram for explaining the contents of the re-lottery display effect previously associated with each gaming state. The low reproducibility base state is associated in advance with normal re-lottery as the effect of re-lottery display. The low reproducibility base state is associated in advance with return re-lottery as the effect of re-lottery display. A slip re-lottery is associated in advance with the high-precision low-base state as the effect of the re-lottery display. A two-stage re-lottery is associated in advance with the high-accuracy and high-base state as the effect of the re-lottery display. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the different contents of the game are associated with the game state as the contents of the re-lottery display, the player can display the re-lottery display of the different contents of the game depending on the controlled game state. Can be provided, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Note that the normal re-lottery means an effect in which the 15R jackpot symbol as the final stop symbol is stopped and displayed by variably displaying while maintaining the combination of the 15R jackpot symbol. The return re-lottery is a 15R big hit symbol as the final stop symbol after the final stop symbol is displayed once it is variably displayed while maintaining the 15R big hit symbol combination. An effect that stops and displays symbols. Slip re-lottery is an effect in which the 15R jackpot symbol is changed and displayed in a state where the combination of the 15R jackpot symbol is maintained, and the slide is displayed from the symbol before the final stop symbol, and the 15R jackpot symbol as the final stop symbol is stopped and displayed. Say. The two-stage re-lottery refers to an effect in which a 15R jackpot symbol combination is displayed in a variable state, temporarily stopped, temporarily stopped, and then the variable display is performed again to stop and display the 15R jackpot symbol as the final stop symbol. .

  FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the decorative symbol determination process (S522) of the command setting process. In the decorative symbol determination process, first, in S527, a process of determining whether or not the 2R big hit flag is set to the on state is performed. When it is determined in S527 that the 2R big hit flag is set, processing for determining “123” as the final stop symbol is performed in S528. In S529, an effect mode selection process for randomly selecting an effect mode after the end of the 2R big hit game is performed, and the process proceeds to S539b.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S527 that the 2R big hit flag is not set to the on state, a process is performed in S530 to determine whether or not the first probability variable big hit flag is set to the on state. When it is determined in S530 that the first probability variation big hit flag is set, in S531, a first probability variation big hit decoration stop symbol determination process described later is performed, a decoration symbol determination processing is performed, and the process proceeds to S539a.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S530 that the first likelihood variation big hit flag is not set, processing is performed in S532 to determine whether or not the second certain variation big hit flag is set to the ON state. When it is determined in S532 that the second probability variation big hit flag is set, a second probability variation big hit decoration stop symbol determination process described later is performed in S533, and the flow proceeds to S539a.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S532 that the second probability variation big hit flag is not set, in S534, it is determined whether or not the hour / short big hit flag is set to the on state. When it is determined in S534 that the hour / short jackpot flag has been set, in S535, the hour / short jackpot decoration stop symbol determination process described later is performed, and the flow proceeds to S539a.

  When it is determined in S534 that the short-time big hit flag is not set, in S536, it is determined whether or not the normal big hit flag is set to ON. When it is determined in S536 that the normal big hit flag is set, a normal big hit decoration stop symbol determination process described later is performed in S537, and the flow proceeds to S539a.

  When it is determined in S536 that the normal big hit flag has not been set, in S538, an after-decoration decoration stop symbol determination process described later is performed, and the decoration symbol determination process is terminated.

  In S539a, processing for selecting an effect mode corresponding to the gaming state to be controlled is performed. For example, when the gaming state is controlled to the low probability and low base state, processing for setting the sea mode is performed, and when controlled to the low probability and high base state, processing for setting the mountain mode is performed. When the base state is controlled, a process for setting the empty mode is performed, and when the highly accurate base state is controlled, the process for setting the space mode is performed.

  In S539b, a process is performed to determine whether or not the gaming state controlled after the big hit game is the high-accuracy base state. When it is determined in S539b that the high-accuracy base state is to be controlled, processing is performed in S539c to determine whether or not the current gaming state is the high-accuracy base state. When it is determined in S539c that the high-accuracy base state is in effect, a process of adding 1 to the value of the loop number counter for specifying the number of loops repeatedly controlled to the high-accuracy base state is performed in S539d, and the process proceeds to S539f. . On the other hand, when it is determined NO in S539b or S539c, a process of resetting the value of the loop number counter is performed in S539e, and the process proceeds to S539f.

  In S539f, a process of determining whether or not the value of the loop number counter is added in S539d, that is, whether or not the value of the loop number counter is set is performed. When it is determined in S539f that the value of the loop number counter is set, in S539g, it is determined whether or not the 2R big hit flag is set to the on state. When it is determined in S539g that the 2R big hit flag is not set in the ON state, in S539h, the effect mode flag selected in S529 or S539a and the effect mode flag corresponding to the value of the loop number counter are set, The decorative symbol determination process ends. On the other hand, when NO is determined in S539f or YES is determined in S539g, an effect mode flag corresponding to the effect mode selected in S529 or S539a is set in S539k, and a decorative symbol determination process is performed. Exit.

  Thereby, after 15R big hit occurs, it is possible to produce an effect in the production mode corresponding to the gaming state controlled after the 15R big hit game ends. Furthermore, after the 15R big hits by the second probability variation big hit symbol are continuously generated, it is possible to produce an effect in the production mode corresponding to the high-accuracy and high-base state and to produce an effect corresponding to the value of the loop number counter. . The effect corresponding to the value of the loop number counter may be an effect that informs the player of the value of the loop number counter. For example, when the value of the loop number counter is “1”, a message such as “Highly accurate base two consecutive resorts !!” is displayed at the lower position of the screen of the variable display device 9, and the value of the loop number counter is “2”. ”May be displayed at a lower position on the screen of the variable display device 9, such as“ Highly accurate base 3 consecutive resorts !! ”. If a 2R big hit occurs in the present embodiment, it is determined YES in S539g, and therefore it is possible to control so as not to perform an effect corresponding to the value of the loop number counter. That is, when the 2R big hit occurs, the effect is performed in the effect mode selected in S529.

  FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing a first probability variation big hit decoration stop symbol determination process (S531) in the decoration stop symbol command setting process.

  In the first probability variation big hit stop symbol determination process, first, in S540, it is determined whether or not the changing medium / high probability re-lottery flag is set to the on state. When it is determined in S540 that the changing high-accuracy re-lottery flag is set, in S541, it is determined whether or not the end high base re-lottery flag is set in the ON state. When it is determined in S541 that the high base re-lottery flag at the end is set, in S542, the variable temporary stop symbol to be temporarily stopped during the variable display is determined using the value of the random RS3 read in S520a from the normal big hit symbol. Then, a process of determining the first probability variation big hit symbol as the symbol at the end of variation to be stopped at the end of variation display is performed. The changing temporary stop symbol is a jackpot symbol that is temporarily stopped before the changing re-lottery display is performed. The stop symbol at the end of change is a jackpot symbol that is stopped when the decorative symbol change display ends. In S542, the stop symbol at the end of change may be determined from the normal jackpot symbol.

  As a process for determining the stop symbol from the normal jackpot symbol, for example, when the counter value extracted from the random RS3 is “0”, “000” is determined as the stop symbol, and when the counter symbol is “1”, the stop symbol is determined as the stop symbol. “111” is determined, and “000” is determined as a stop symbol when “2”. Similarly, when the counter value extracted from the random RS3 is “3”, “4”, “5” “111”, “000”, and “111” are determined as stop symbols, respectively.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S541 that the high base re-lottery flag at the end is not set to the ON state, the temporary suspension symbol during change is determined from the normal big hit symbol in S543 using the value of the random RS3 read in S520a. Processing is performed.

  When it is determined in S540 that the changing medium / high probability re-lottery flag is not set to the on state, processing is performed in S545 to determine whether or not the changing medium / high base re-lottery flag is set to the on state. When it is determined in S545 that the changing medium / high base re-lottery flag is set to the ON state, processing is performed in S546 to determine the first probability variable big hit symbol as a changing temporary stop symbol. It should be noted that in S546, the changing temporary stop symbol may be determined from the normal big hit symbol. When it is determined in S545 that the changing medium / high base re-lottery flag is not set to the on state, processing is performed in S547 to determine whether or not the end-time high re-lottery flag is set to the on state. When it is determined in S547 that the high probability re-lottery flag at the end is set to the ON state, the process of determining the stop symbol at the end of fluctuation from the normal big hit symbol in S548 using the value of the random RS3 read in S520a Is done.

  When it is determined in S547 that the end high probability re-lottery flag is not set in the on state, processing is performed in S549 to determine whether or not the end high base re-lottery flag is set in the on state. If it is determined in S549 that the high base re-lottery flag at the end is set to the on state, a process of determining the first positive probability big winning symbol as a stop symbol at the end of variation is performed in S550. In S550, the stop symbol at the end of change may be determined from the normal jackpot symbol.

  In S551, a process of determining the first probability variable big hit symbol as a final stop symbol is performed, and the first probability variable big hit decoration stop symbol determining process is terminated.

  As described above, in the first probability variable big hit decoration stop symbol determination process that is executed when the first probability variable big hit flag is set to the ON state, when the composite re-lottery display is executed (YES in S540 and S541) ) Temporarily stop the normal big hit symbol as a temporary stop symbol during variation, display a high-accuracy re-lottery display during variation, stop the first positive variable big hit symbol as the stop symbol at the end of variation, and stop the first positive variable big hit symbol as the final stop symbol Can be determined. As a result, the first successful variation big winning symbol is displayed in the mid-variable high probability re-lottery display, and the first successful variable big winning symbol is increased from the first positive variable big winning symbol in the high-base re-lottery display at the end. Failure production can be performed.

  In addition, in the first probable big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, when executing a variable high probability re-lottery display (YES in S540 and NO in S541), the normal big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as the temporary stop symbol during change, and the final stop It is possible to decide to stop the first probability variation big hit symbol as a symbol. As a result, in the mid-variable high-accuracy re-lottery display, it is possible to perform a successful success effect that becomes a first probable big hit symbol.

  Further, in the first probability variable big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, when the variable middle high base re-lottery display is executed (NO in S540 and YES in S545), the first probability variable big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as the variable temporary stop symbol, It can be decided to stop the first probability variation big hit symbol as the final stop symbol. As a result, it is possible to perform an upcoming failure effect from the first probability variable big hit symbol to the second probability variable big hit symbol in the changing middle / high base re-lottery display.

  In addition, in the first probability variable big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, when the high probability re-lottery display at the end is executed (YES in S547), the normal big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as the stop symbol at the end of fluctuation and the first stop symbol is set as the final stop symbol. It is possible to decide to stop the one-probability big hit symbol. As a result, in the high probability re-lottery display at the end, it is possible to perform a successful start-up effect that becomes a first certainty big hit symbol.

  Further, in the first probability variable big-decoration decoration stop symbol determination process, when the high base re-lottery display at the end is executed (YES in S549), the first probability variable big-hit symbol is temporarily stopped as the stop symbol at the end of variation, and the final stop symbol is displayed. It is possible to decide to stop the first probability variation big hit symbol. As a result, in the high base re-lottery display at the end, it is possible to perform a failure to produce a rise failure from the first probability variable big hit symbol to the second probability variable big hit symbol.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing the second probability variation big hit decoration stop symbol determination process (S533) in the decoration stop symbol command setting process.

  In the second probability big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, first, in S555, it is determined whether or not the changing medium / high probability re-lottery flag is set to the ON state. If it is determined in S555 that the changing high-accuracy re-lottery flag is set, then in S556, it is determined whether or not the end-time high-base re-lottery flag is set in the ON state. When it is determined in S556 that the high base re-lottery flag at the end is set, in S557, the variable temporary stop symbol is changed from the combination of the normal big hit symbol, and the stop symbol at the end of fluctuation is changed to the normal big hit symbol and the first positive variable big hit symbol. Thus, the process of determining using the value of the random RS3 read in S520a is performed. In S557, the stop symbol at the end of change may be determined from the normal jackpot symbol.

  As a process of determining the stop symbol from the normal jackpot symbol and the first probability variation jackpot symbol, for example, when the value of the counter extracted from the random RS3 is “0”, “000” is determined as the stop symbol, and “1”. "111" is determined as the stop symbol at the time of "3", and "333" is determined as the stop symbol at the time of "2". Similarly, the counter values extracted from the random RS3 are "3", "4", When “5”, “000”, “111”, and “333” are determined as stop symbols, respectively.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S556 that the high base re-lottery flag at the end is not set to the ON state, the value of the random RS3 read in S520a from the normal big hit symbol and the short time big hit symbol in the variable temporary stop symbol in S558. The process of determining using is performed.

  As a process for determining the stop symbol from the normal jackpot symbol and the short and long jackpot symbol, for example, when the counter value extracted from the random RS3 is “0”, “000” is determined as the stop symbol, and when the counter symbol is “1” “111” is determined as the stop symbol, and “222” is determined as the stop symbol when “2”. Similarly, the counter values extracted from the random RS3 are “3”, “4”, “5”. "000", "111", and "222" are determined as stop symbols respectively.

  If it is determined in S555 that the changing medium / high probability re-lottery flag is not set to the on state, processing is performed in S559 to determine whether or not the changing medium / high base re-lottery flag is set to the on state. If it is determined in S559 that the variable mid-high base re-lottery flag is set to the on state, the variable temporary stop symbol is determined from the normal big hit symbol and the first positive variable big hit symbol in S560, and the value of the random RS3 read in S520a is set. The process of using and determining is performed. In S560, the temporary stop symbol during change may be determined from the normal big hit symbol. When it is determined in S559 that the changing medium / high base re-lottery flag is not set to the on state, a process is performed in S561 to determine whether or not the end high probability re-lottery flag is set to the on state. When it is determined in S561 that the high probability re-lottery flag at the end is set to the on state, the value of the random RS3 read in S520a is used as the stop symbol at the end of the fluctuation from the normal big hit symbol and the short-time big hit symbol in S562. The determination process is performed.

  If it is determined in S561 that the end high-re-draw lottery flag is not set to the on state, processing is performed in S563 to determine whether or not the end high base re-lottery flag is set to the on state. If it is determined in S563 that the end-time high base re-lottery flag is not set to the on state, the process proceeds to S565. When it is determined in S563 that the high base re-lottery flag at the end is set to the on state, the value of the random RS3 read in S520a from the normal big hit symbol and the first positive variable big hit symbol is used as the stop symbol at the end of fluctuation in S564. The process of determining using is performed. In S564, the stop symbol at the end of change may be determined from the normal jackpot symbol.

  In S565, the process of determining from the second probability variation big hit symbol as the final stop symbol using the value of the random RS2-1 read in S520a is performed, and the second probability variable big hit decoration stop symbol determination processing is terminated.

  For example, when the value of the counter extracted from the random RS2-1 is “0”, “444” is determined as the stop symbol when the final stop symbol is determined from the second probability big hit symbol. Sometimes “555” is determined as the stop symbol, and “444” is determined as the stop symbol when “2”. Similarly, the counter values extracted from the random RS3 are “3”, “4”, “ When “5”, “555”, “444”, and “555” are determined as stop symbols.

  As described above, in the second probability variation big hit decoration stop symbol determination process executed when the second probability variation big hit flag is set to the ON state, when the composite re-lottery display is executed (YES in S555 and S556) ) Temporarily stop the normal big hit symbol as a changing temporary stop symbol, display a high-accuracy redrawing display during changing, stop the normal big hit symbol or the first positive variation big hit symbol as the stop symbol at the end of change, and stop the second positive change as the final stop symbol You can decide to stop the jackpot symbol. As a result, when the normal big hit symbol is stopped as the stop symbol at the end of change, a rise failure effect is performed in the variable middle high probability re-lottery display, and when the first positive variable big hit symbol stops as the stop symbol at the end of change, In the display, it is possible to make a successful production effect. In addition, in the high base re-lottery display at the end, it is possible to perform the success success effect to the second probability variation big winning symbol.

  In addition, in the second probable big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, when the variable mid-high probability re-lottery display is executed (YES in S555 and NO in S556), the normal big hit symbol or the short-term big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as the fluctuating temporary stop symbol. Then, it can be determined that the second probability variation big hit symbol is stopped as the final stop symbol. As a result, in the mid-variable high-accuracy re-lottery display, it is possible to perform a successful success effect that becomes the second probable big hit symbol.

  In addition, in the second probability variable big-decoration decoration stop symbol determination process, when the variable medium-high base re-lottery display is executed (NO in S555 and YES in S559), the normal big hit symbol or the first positive variable big hit symbol is used as the temporary stop symbol during fluctuation. It is possible to decide to temporarily stop and stop the second probability variation big hit symbol as the final stop symbol. As a result, in the changing medium-high base re-lottery display, it is possible to perform a successful success from the normal jackpot symbol or the first probability variable jackpot symbol to the second probability variable jackpot symbol.

  Further, in the second probability variable big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, when executing the high probability re-lottery display at the end (YES in S561), the normal big hit symbol or the short-term big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as the stop symbol at the end of fluctuation, and the final It can be determined to stop the second probability variation big hit symbol as the stop symbol. Thereby, in the high probability re-lottery display at the end, it is possible to perform the success success effect that becomes the second certainty big hit symbol.

  In addition, in the second probability variation big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, when the high base re-lottery display at the end is executed (YES in S563), the normal big hit symbol or the first probability variation big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as the variation end stop symbol. Then, it is possible to decide to stop the second probability variation big hit symbol as the final stop symbol. Thereby, in the high base re-lottery display at the end, it is possible to perform a successful success-up effect from the normal jackpot symbol or the first probability variation jackpot symbol to the second probability variation jackpot symbol.

  In the second probability variation big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, when the re-lottery display is not executed (NO in S563), it is possible to decide to stop the second probability variation big hit symbol as the final stop symbol. Accordingly, the second probability variation big hit symbol can be stopped as the final stop symbol without executing the re-lottery display.

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing the decoration stop symbol determination process (S533) at the time and college hits in the decoration stop symbol command setting process.

  In the time and large hitting decoration stop symbol determination process, first, in S570, it is determined whether or not the changing medium / high accuracy re-lottery flag is set to the ON state. When it is determined in S570 that the changing high-accuracy re-lottery flag is set, in S571, it is determined whether or not the end-time high-base re-lottery flag is set in the ON state. When it is determined in S571 that the high base re-lottery flag at the end is set, the value of the random RS3 read in S520a is used from the combination of the normal temporary winning symbol for the variable temporary stop symbol and the variable end stop symbol in S572. The determination process is performed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S571 that the end-time high base re-lottery flag is not set to the ON state, processing for determining the time-short hit symbol as a changing temporary stop symbol is performed in S573.

  If it is determined in S570 that the changing medium / high probability re-lottery flag is not set to the on state, processing is performed in S574 to determine whether or not the changing medium / high base re-lottery flag is set to the on state. When it is determined in S574 that the changing mid-high base re-lottery flag is set to the on state, in S575, the changing temporary stop symbol is determined from the normal big hit symbol using the random RS3 value read in S520a. Done. When it is determined in S574 that the changing medium / high base re-lottery flag is not set to the on state, processing is performed in S576 to determine whether or not the end-time high re-lottery flag is set to the on state. If it is determined in S576 that the high probability re-lottery flag at the end is set to the on state, a process of determining the symbol for the short and long time as a stop symbol at the end of change is performed in S577.

  If it is determined in S576 that the end high probability re-lottery flag is not set in the on state, processing is performed in S578 to determine whether or not the end high base re-lottery flag is set in the on state. If it is determined in S578 that the high base re-lottery flag at the end is not set to the on state, the process proceeds to S580. When it is determined in S578 that the end high base re-lottery flag is set to the on state, in S579, the variable end stop symbol is determined from the normal big hit symbol using the random RS3 value read in S520a. Is done.

  In S580, a process for determining the time and bonus hit symbol as the final stop symbol is performed, and the time and bonus winning symbol decoration stop symbol determination process is terminated.

  As described above, in the hour / hit big hit decoration stop symbol determination process that is executed when the hour / hit big hit flag is set to the on state, when the composite re-lottery display is executed (YES in S570 and S571), it is changing. It is possible to temporarily stop a normal big hit symbol as a temporary stop symbol, display a variable high-accuracy re-lottery display, stop the normal big hit symbol as a stop symbol at the end of change, and stop the short and big hit symbol as a final stop symbol . As a result, it is possible to perform a rise failure effect in the variable high-accuracy re-lottery display, and to perform a successful rise-up effect on the short and large hit symbol in the high base re-lottery display at the end.

  Further, in the time and large hitting decorative stop symbol determination process, when the variable mid-high accuracy re-lottery display is executed (YES in S570 and NO in S571), the temporary and short-term winning symbol is temporarily stopped as the variable temporary stop symbol, and the final stop symbol is displayed. It is possible to decide to stop the symbol of time and big hit. As a result, a rising failure effect can be performed in the mid-variable high-accuracy re-lottery display.

  Further, in the time-short-hit-decoration decoration stop symbol determination process, when the variable medium-high base re-lottery display is executed (NO in S570 and YES in S574), the normal big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as the variable temporary stop symbol, and the final stop symbol is displayed. It is possible to decide to stop the symbol of time and big hit. As a result, in the changing medium-high base re-lottery display, it is possible to produce a successful rise from the normal big hit symbol to the short time big hit symbol.

  In addition, in the time and big hit decorative stop symbol determination process, when the highly accurate re-drawing display at the end is executed (YES in S576), the hour and big bonus symbol is temporarily stopped as the stop symbol at the end of change, and the hour and big bonus symbol is used as the final stop symbol. Can be decided to stop. As a result, it is possible to produce a rise failure effect in the high-precision re-lottery display at the end.

  In addition, in the time and big hit decorative stop symbol determination process, when the high base re-lottery display at the end is executed (YES in S578), the normal big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as the stop symbol at the end of change, and the short and big hit symbol is set as the final stop symbol. Can be decided to stop. As a result, in the high base re-lottery display at the end, it is possible to produce a successful success from the normal big hit symbol to the short time big hit symbol.

  It should be noted that, in the time-short-hit winning ornament stop symbol determination process, when the re-lottery display is not executed (NO in S578), it can be determined that the time-short-hit symbol is stopped as the final stop symbol. As a result, it is possible to stop the short and large winning symbol as the final stop symbol without executing the re-lottery display.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the normal big hit decoration stop symbol determining process (S537) in the decorative symbol determining process.

  In the normal big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, first, in S585, whether or not the changing medium high probability re-lottery flag or the changing medium high base re-lottery flag is set to the ON state, that is, the changing re-lottery flag is set to the ON state. A process for determining whether or not it has been performed is performed. If it is determined in S585 that the changing re-lottery flag is set, it is determined in S586 whether the high probability re-lottery flag at the end or the high base re-lottery flag at the end is set to the on state, that is, the re-draw at the end. Processing for determining whether or not the lottery flag is set to the on state is performed. When it is determined in S586 that the redraw lottery flag at the end is set, in S587, the variable temporary stop symbol and the variable end stop symbol are determined from the normal big hit symbol using the random RS3 value read in S520a. Is done.

  In S587 in the present embodiment, the same normal big hit symbol is determined from the normal big hit symbol as the changing temporary stop symbol and the fluctuation end stop symbol. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As a symbol, you may comprise so that a different normal big hit symbol may be determined among normal big hit symbols. For example, when the variable temporary stop symbol is determined using the value of the random RS3, the next normal jackpot symbol of the determined variable temporary stop symbol (for example, when the determined variable temporary stop symbol is “000”, “111” is applicable), and the stop symbol at the end of fluctuation may be determined.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S586 that the redraw lottery flag at the end is not set to the ON state, a process of determining the changing temporary stop symbol from the normal big hit symbol in S588 using the value of the random RS3 read in S520a. Is done.

  If it is determined in S585 that the changing re-lottery flag is not set to the on state, processing is performed in S589 to determine whether or not the end-time re-lottery flag is set to the on state. When it is determined in S589 that the end-time re-lottery flag is set to the ON state, in S590, a process for determining the stop symbol at the end of variation from the normal big hit symbol using the value of the random RS3 read in S520a is performed. It is. When it is determined in S589 that the end-time re-lottery flag is not set to the on state, the process proceeds to S591.

  In S591, a process of determining from the normal jackpot symbol as the final stop symbol using the value of the random RS2-1 read in S520a is performed, and the normal jackpot decoration stop symbol determining process is terminated.

  As a process for determining the final stop symbol from the normal jackpot symbol, for example, when the counter value extracted from the random RS2-1 is “0”, “000” is determined as the stop symbol, and when the counter value is “1” “111” is determined as the stop symbol, and “000” is determined as the stop symbol when “2”. Similarly, the counter values extracted from the random RS2-1 are “3”, “4”, “ When “5”, “111”, “000”, and “111” are determined as stop symbols.

  As described above, in the normal big hit decoration stop symbol determination process that is executed when the normal big hit flag is set to the on state, when the composite re-lottery display is executed (YES in S585 and S586), it is changing. It is possible to temporarily stop a normal big hit symbol as a temporary stop symbol, display a variable high-accuracy re-lottery display, stop the normal big hit symbol as a stop symbol at the end of change, and stop the normal big hit symbol as a final stop symbol. . As a result, in the re-drawing display during the change and the re-drawing display at the end, it is possible to perform a failure to produce a probable big hit symbol.

  Further, in the normal big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, when the changing re-lottery display is executed and when the changing re-lottery display is executed (YES in S585 and NO in S586), the temporary stop symbol during changing is used. It can be determined that the normal big hit symbol is temporarily stopped and the normal big hit symbol is stopped as the final stop symbol. As a result, in the re-drawing display during fluctuation, it is possible to perform the upsuccess failure effect to the probable big hit symbol.

  In addition, in the normal big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, when executing the re-lottery display at the end (YES in S589), the normal big hit symbol is temporarily stopped as the stop symbol at the end of fluctuation, and the normal big hit symbol is stopped as the final stop symbol. Can be determined. As a result, in the end-time re-lottery display, it is possible to perform the upsuccess failure effect to the probability variation big hit symbol.

  In the normal big hit decoration stop symbol determination process, when the re-lottery display is not executed (NO in S589), it can be determined that the normal big hit symbol is stopped as the final stop symbol. Accordingly, the normal big hit symbol can be stopped as the final stop symbol without executing the re-lottery display.

  FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the off-set ornament stop symbol determination process (S538) in the ornament symbol determination process.

  In the off-decoration decoration stop symbol determination process, first, in S904, it is determined whether or not the deviation number flag is set to the on state. When it is determined in S904 that the deviation number flag is set to the ON state, the left and right symbols are determined as the final stop symbols in S905 using the random RS2-1 value read in S520a, and the determination is further performed. A process is performed in which the decorative symbol having the number of deviations specified from the left symbol and the deviation number flag is determined as the middle symbol.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S904 that the deviation number flag is not set to the ON state, the values of random RS2-1 to random RS2-3 read out in S520a are used as the final stop symbols in S906. The determination process is performed. In addition, when the final stop symbol corresponding to random RS2-1 to random RS2-3 coincides with a combination of accidental big hit symbols, or when a reach state is generated, it is corrected so that it will be an outlier that does not generate a reach state. Then, the process of determining each stop symbol is performed, and the off-decoration decoration stop symbol determining process is terminated.

  FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing an effect mode selection process (S529) in the decorative symbol determination process.

  In the effect mode selection process, first, in S910, a table used for selecting an effect mode after the end of the 2R big hit game, and an effect mode selection table corresponding to the game state controlled after the 2R big hit game ends. A lookup process is performed. In S911, a process for selecting an effect mode is performed using a value from the random RS4 for effect mode selection read in S520a, and the effect mode selection process is terminated.

  Here, the effect mode selection table will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 39 is a diagram for explaining an effect mode selection table. The effect mode selection table is set for each gaming state that can be controlled in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  When the gaming state is the low probability low base state, the low probability low base state table is referred to. In the low probability low base state table, the sea mode is selected when the value from the random RS4 for effect mode selection is “0 to 6”, the mountain mode is selected when “7”, The distribution mode is set so that the sky mode is selected when it is “8” and the space mode is selected when it is “9”. Thus, when the low-reliability and low-base state is controlled after the 2R big hit game ends, the sea mode is selected at a higher rate than the rate at which the mountain mode, the sky mode, or the space mode is selected as the effect mode.

  When the gaming state is the low-accuracy base state, the low-accuracy base state table is referenced. In the low-accuracy base state table, when the value from the random RS4 for selecting the production mode is “0”, the sea mode is selected, and when the value is “1-7”, the mountain mode is selected. The distribution mode is set so that the sky mode is selected when it is “8” and the space mode is selected when it is “9”. As a result, when the low-accuracy base state is controlled after the end of the 2R big hit game, the mountain mode is selected at a higher rate than the rate at which the sea mode, the sky mode, or the space mode is selected as the effect mode.

  When the gaming state is the high probability low base state, the high probability low base state table is referred to. In the high accuracy low base state table, when the value from the random RS4 for selecting the production mode is “0”, the sea mode is selected, and when the value is “1”, the mountain mode is selected. The distribution mode is set so that the sky mode is selected when it is “8” and the space mode is selected when it is “9”. Thus, when the low-accuracy base state is controlled after the end of the 2R big hit game, the sky mode is selected at a higher rate than the rate in which the sea mode, the mountain mode, or the space mode is selected as the effect mode.

  When the gaming state is the highly accurate high base state, the high accurate high base state table is referred to. When the value from the random RS4 for selecting the production mode is “0”, the sea mode is selected, and the mountain mode is selected when the value is “1”. The distribution mode is set so that the empty mode is selected when it is, and the space mode is selected when it is “3-9”. Thus, when the low-accuracy base state is controlled after the end of the 2R big hit game, the space mode is selected at a higher rate than the rate at which the sea mode, the mountain mode, or the sky mode is selected as the effect mode.

  FIG. 40 is a flowchart for explaining the decoration variation pattern determination process (S523) in the command setting process.

  In the decoration variation pattern determination process, first, a process of looking up a table corresponding to the variation pattern command received in S920 is performed. In S921, a process for determining a decoration variation pattern is performed using the table looked up in S920 according to the value of the random RS1 read in S520a, and the decoration variation pattern determination process is terminated.

  Here, the table looked up in S920 will be described. 41 and 42 are diagrams for explaining a decoration variation pattern determination table used for determining the decoration variation pattern. In the present embodiment, the decoration variation pattern determination table corresponding to the variation pattern command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 is looked up, and one decoration variation pattern is determined based on the value of the random RS1. Is done. FIG. 41 shows the entire decoration variation pattern determination table corresponding to variation pattern commands that can be transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560. FIG. 42 shows a decoration variation pattern determination table for each variation pattern command in the entire decoration variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. The decoration variation pattern column shown in FIG. 42 shows the lower byte of the display control command transmitted from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 for each symbol command. The change time of the decoration change pattern is shown in parentheses.

  When the variation pattern command received from the game control microcomputer 560 is “8000h”, the table for 8000 hours is referred to. In the 8000 o'clock table, when the value of the random RS1 is in the range of “0 to 69”, the ornamental normal deviation variation pattern without notice is determined, and when the value of the random RS1 is in the range of “70 to 89”, the notice 1 is executed. When the notice 1 decoration normal deviation variation pattern is determined and is within the range of “90 to 96”, the notice 2 decoration normal deviation variation pattern is determined and is within the range of “97 to 99”. The distribution is set so that the variation pattern of the normal deviation 3 for performing the advance notice 3 is determined. Note that the notice 1 to notice 3 are performed in different modes, such as the character that appears, the timing of appearance, and the type of background image. That is, the variation display means, the sound output means, and the light emission means are controlled in different modes depending on which of the notice 1 to notice 3 is executed.

  Fig.42 (a) is a figure for demonstrating the table for 8000 hours. As shown in FIG. 42A, when the decorative normal deviation variation pattern without notice is determined, “00” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command, and 10 seconds is determined as the variation time. Similarly, when the notice 1 decoration normal deviation fluctuation pattern is determined, when the notice 2 decoration normal deviation fluctuation pattern is determined, or when the notice 3 decoration normal deviation fluctuation pattern is determined, the lower byte of the display control command is “ “01”, “02”, and “03” are determined, and 10 seconds is determined as the variation time.

  Next, when the variation pattern command received from the game control microcomputer 560 is “8001h”, the table for 8001 is referred to. In the 8001 o'clock table, when the value of the random RS1 is in the range of “0 to 64”, the normal reach deviating 1 variation pattern without notice is determined, and when the random RS1 value is in the range of “65 to 84”, the notice 1 is displayed. Preliminary 1-decoration normal reach deviating 1 variation pattern to be executed is determined, and the 2-division normal reach deviating 1 deviating pattern is determined when it is within the range of “85 to 93”, and within the range of “94 to 99” At this time, the distribution is set so that the 1-variation pattern is determined to be out of the normal-reach 3 decoration for executing the advance notice 3.

  FIG. 42B is a diagram for explaining the 8001 hour table. As shown in FIG. 42B, the 8001 o'clock table is composed of a plurality of decoration variation pattern determination tables corresponding to the symbol commands received from the game control microcomputer 560. When the received symbol command is a symbol command indicating “+1 frame shift” (“8121h” in FIG. 11), the 8121 hour table is looked up. When the received symbol command is a symbol command indicating “+2 frame shift” (“8122h” in FIG. 11), the 8122 hour table is looked up. When the received symbol command is a symbol command indicating “−1 frame shift” (“813h” in FIG. 11), the 8123 hour table is looked up. When the received symbol command is a symbol command indicating “−2 frame shift” (“8124h” in FIG. 11), the 8124 hour table is looked up. When the received symbol command is a symbol command indicating “± 3 frame deviation” (“8125h” in FIG. 11), the 8125 hour table is looked up.

  For example, when the variation of the normal normal reach without notice is determined and one variation pattern is determined and the received symbol command is “8121h”, “10” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command, and the variation time is determined as 16 seconds. Similarly, when the ornamental normal reach unrecognized 1 variation pattern without notice is determined and the received symbol commands are “8122h”, “8123h”, “8124h”, “8125h”, “14” as the lower byte of the display control command. , “18”, “1C”, and “20” are determined, and 17 seconds, 14 seconds, 13 seconds, and 18 seconds are respectively determined as the variation times. Similarly, when the notice 1 decoration normal reach deviation 1 fluctuation pattern, the notice 2 decoration normal reach deviation 1 fluctuation pattern, and the notice 3 decoration normal reach deviation 1 fluctuation pattern are determined, the display control command corresponding to the received symbol command is also subordinate. Bytes and variation times are determined.

  Next, when the variation pattern command received from the game control microcomputer 560 is “8002h”, the 8002 hour table is referred to. In the 8002 o'clock table, when the value of the random RS1 is in the range of “0 to 59”, the decorative normal reach deviation 2 variation pattern without notice is determined, and when the random RS1 value is in the range of “60 to 80”, the notice 1 is displayed. Preliminary 1-decoration normal reach deviating 2 variation pattern to be executed is determined, and when 2-division pattern is within the range of “81-92”, the 2-division normal reach deviating 2-variation pattern is determined and within the range of “93-99” At this time, the distribution is set so that the notice 3 decoration for executing the notice 3 and the normal reach deviating 2 variation pattern are determined.

  FIG. 42C is a diagram for explaining the 8002 hour table. As shown in FIG. 42 (c), the 8002 hour table is composed of a plurality of decoration variation pattern determination tables corresponding to the symbol commands received from the game control microcomputer 560. When the received symbol command is a symbol command indicating “+1 frame shift”, the table for 8121 o'clock is looked up. Similarly, when a symbol command indicating “+2 frame shift”, a symbol command indicating “−1 frame shift”, a symbol command indicating “−2 frame shift”, or a symbol command indicating “± 3 frame shift” is received, The 8122 hour table, the 8123 hour table, the 8124 hour table, and the 8125 hour table are looked up, respectively.

  For example, if the ornamental normal reach without notice 2 variation pattern is determined and the received symbol command is “8121h”, “30” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command and 21 seconds is determined as the variation time. Similarly, when the ornamental normal reach out-of-notice 2 variation pattern is determined and the received symbol commands are “8122h”, “8123h”, “8124h”, “8125h”, “34” is displayed as the lower byte of the display control command. , “38”, “3C”, and “40” are respectively determined, and 22 seconds, 19 seconds, 18 seconds, and 23 seconds are respectively determined as the variation times. Similarly, when the notice 1 decoration normal reach deviation 2 fluctuation pattern, the notice 2 decoration normal reach deviation 2 fluctuation pattern, and the notice 3 decoration normal reach deviation 2 fluctuation pattern are determined, the display control command corresponding to the received symbol command is also subordinate. Bytes and variation times are determined.

  Next, when the variation pattern command received from the game control microcomputer 560 is “8010h”, the table for the 8010 hour is referred to. In the table for 8010 o'clock, when the value of the random RS1 is within the range of “0 to 24”, one variation pattern per decoration normal reach without notice is determined, and when the value of the random RS1 is within the range of “25 to 35”, the notice 1 is displayed. 1 variation pattern per normal reach for the advance notice 1 decoration to be executed is determined, and 1 change pattern per normal reach for the advance notice 2 decoration to execute the advance notice 2 is within the range of “36 to 74” and within the range of “75 to 99” At this time, the distribution is set so that one variation pattern is determined per normal reach for the three ornaments for performing the third notification.

  FIG. 42D is a diagram for describing the 8010 o'clock table. As shown in FIG. 42 (d), the table for 8010 o'clock is composed of a plurality of decoration variation pattern determination tables corresponding to the symbol commands received from the game control microcomputer 560. When the received symbol command is a symbol command (“8100h, 8103h, 8104h, 8107h, 810Ah, 810Bh, 810Dh, 8110h, 8111h, 8113h, 8116h, 8117h” in FIG. 10) that does not perform the redrawing display during fluctuation. The time table is looked up. When the received symbol command is a symbol command (“8101h, 8102h, 8105h, 8108h, 8109h, 8109h, 810Ch, 810Eh, 810Fh, 8112h, 8114h, 8115h, 8118h” in FIG. 10) for performing re-lottery display during fluctuation, The table is looked up.

  For example, when one variation pattern per ornamental normal reach without notice is determined and the received symbol command is “8100h”, “90” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command and 20 seconds is determined as the variation time. Similarly, when one variation pattern per ornamental normal reach without notice is determined and the received symbol command is “8101h”, one of “94 to 97” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command according to the gaming state. And 35 seconds is determined as the variation time.

  In the present embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 31, the contents of the effect of the re-lottery display are associated in advance for each gaming state. When the gaming state is the low probability low base state, “94” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command including execution of the normal re-lottery as the effect contents of the changing re-lottery display. Further, when the gaming state is the low probability high base state, “95” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command including the fact that the return re-lottery is executed as the effect of the re-lottery display during change. Further, when the gaming state is the high probability low base state, “96” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command including that the slip re-lottery is executed as the effect of the re-lottery display during change. Further, when the gaming state is the high-probability high-base state, “97” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command including the fact that the two-stage re-lottery is executed as the effect contents of the changing re-lottery display.

  Similarly, when one variation pattern per normal reach for one notice, one variation pattern per normal reach for two notices, and one variation pattern per normal reach for three notices are determined according to the received symbol command and the current gaming state. The change time corresponding to the lower byte of the display control command and the received symbol command is determined. Note that the normal re-lottery, return re-lottery, slip re-lottery, and 2-stage re-lottery as the types of floating re-lottery display are the normal re-lottery, return re-lottery, and slide described as the types of re-lottery display at the end, respectively. The description will not be repeated because it is the same as the re-lottery and the two-stage re-lottery.

  Next, when the variation pattern command received from the game control microcomputer 560 is “8013h”, the table for 8013 is referred to. In the table for 8013 o'clock, when the value of the random RS1 is within the range of “0-9”, two variation patterns per ornamental super reach without notice are determined, and when the random RS1 is within the range of “10-14”, the notice 1 2 variation patterns per decoration super-reach for executing the notification 2 are determined, and 2 variation patterns per decoration 2-super-reach for executing the notification 2 are determined within the range of “15 to 29”, and “30 to 99” are determined. The distribution is set so that two variation patterns per three super-reach for the notice 3 decoration for executing the notice 3 are determined within the range.

  FIG. 42E is a diagram for explaining the table for 8013 o'clock. As shown in FIG. 42 (e), the table for 8013 o'clock is composed of a plurality of decoration variation pattern determination tables corresponding to the symbol commands received from the game control microcomputer 560. When the received symbol command is a symbol command that does not display the changing re-lottery display, the table for 8100 o'clock is looked up. When the received symbol command is a symbol command for performing re-lottery display during fluctuation, the 8101 o'clock table is looked up.

  For example, when two variation patterns per ornamental normal reach without notice are determined and the received symbol command is “8100h”, “B0” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command and 45 seconds is determined as the variation time. Similarly, when two variation patterns per ornamental normal reach without notice are determined and the received symbol command is “8101h”, any one of “B4 to B7” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command according to the gaming state. And 60 seconds is determined as the variation time. When the gaming state is a low probability low base state, “B4” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command including execution of normal re-lottery as the effect of the re-lottery display during variation. Further, when the gaming state is the low-probability base state, “B5” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command including the fact that the return re-lottery is executed as the effect contents of the changing re-lottery display. Further, when the gaming state is the high probability low base state, “B6” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command including that the slip re-lottery is executed as the effect of the re-lottery display during change. Further, when the gaming state is a high-probability base state, “B7” is determined as the lower byte of the display control command including the fact that the two-stage re-lottery is executed as the effect contents of the changing re-lottery display.

  Similarly, when the two-variation pattern per notice 1 decoration normal reach, the two-variation pattern per notice two-decoration normal reach, and the two-variation pattern per notice three decoration normal reach are determined according to the received symbol command and the current gaming state. The change time corresponding to the lower byte of the display control command and the received symbol command is determined.

  As described above, the decoration variation pattern determination table for 8000 o'clock, 8001 o'clock, 8002 o'clock, 8010 o'clock, and 8013 o'clock has been described in the ornament variation pattern determination table of FIG. Similarly, the decoration change pattern determination tables for 8004 o'clock, 8011 o'clock, and 8012 o'clock use the lower byte and change time of the display control command according to the value of the random RS1, the symbol command, the current game state, and the like. It is configured to be determined.

  With this configuration, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 in this embodiment is used for game control even if the variation pattern commands received from the game control microcomputer 560 are the same variation pattern command. The lower byte and the variation time of the display control command according to the symbol command received from the microcomputer 560 can be determined. In addition, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 can determine the type of the notice effect by determining the decoration variation pattern based on the value of the random RS1 with reference to the decoration variation pattern determination table.

  In the decoration variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 41, any one of the notices 1 to 3 is displayed when the variation pattern command received from the game control microcomputer 560 is any one of “8000h to 8004h”. One of the notices 1 to 3 is executed when the variation pattern command received from the game control microcomputer 560 is any one of “8010h to 8013h” rather than the ratio at which the decoration variation pattern to be executed is determined. The distribution is set so that the proportion of the decoration variation pattern to be determined is increased.

  FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing the display control command setting process (S524) in the command setting process.

  In the display control command setting process, first, in S930, the decoration stop symbol (changed temporary stop symbol, change end stop symbol, final stop symbol (end) determined in S528, S531, S533, S535, S537, or S538. Based on (except the final stop symbol displayed by the time re-lottery display))), a process for specifying the upper byte of the display control command transmitted from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 is performed. .

  The final stop symbol displayed by the end-time re-lottery display is the decorative symbol determined in S551 when YES is determined in S540 and S541 in FIG. 33, and YES is determined in S547 or S549 in FIG. The decorative pattern determined in S551, the decorative pattern determined in S565 when YES is determined in S555 and S556 in FIG. 34, and determined in S565 when YES is determined in S561 or S563 in FIG. The decorative design, the decorative design determined in S580 when YES is determined in S570 and S571 in FIG. 35, the decorative design determined in S580 when YES is determined in S576 or S578 in FIG. Determined in S591 when YES is determined in S585 and S586 Ri say pattern, and the decorative pattern determined in S591 when the determination result is YES in S589 of FIG. 36. The decoration stop symbol command for specifying the final stop symbol displayed by the end-time re-lottery display is specified and set in the processing after S933.

  Here, the first upper byte specifying table used for specifying the upper byte of the display control command from the determined symbol will be described. FIG. 44 is a diagram for explaining the first upper byte specifying table.

  For example, in S542, when “000” is determined as the temporary stop symbol during change and “333” is determined as the stop symbol at the end of change, “03” is specified as the upper byte. In S548, when “111” is determined as the stop symbol at the end of change, “13” is specified as the upper byte. When “222” is determined as the changing temporary stop symbol in S558 and “555” is determined as the final stop symbol in S565, “0E” is specified as the upper byte. Furthermore, when “003” is determined as the final stop symbol in S906, “1A” is specified as the upper byte.

  Returning to FIG. 43, in S931, the lower byte of the display control command transmitted from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 is specified from the decoration variation pattern determined in S921 of FIG. Processing is performed. Specifically, processing for specifying the lower byte of the display control command corresponding to one decoration variation pattern determined using FIGS. 41 and 42 described above is performed.

  In S932, a 2-byte decoration variation pattern command is specified and set as a display control command based on the upper byte specified in S930 and the lower byte specified in S931. The setting of the decoration variation pattern command specifically refers to a process of setting the decoration variation pattern command data in the buffer of the RAM 75. The set decoration pattern command is output as a display control command from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 in S506 of FIG.

  In S933, processing for specifying the upper byte of the display control command is performed based on the jackpot symbol determined as the final stop symbol displayed by the above-described re-lottery display at the end.

  Here, the second upper byte specifying table for specifying the upper byte from the jackpot symbol will be described. FIG. 45 (a) is a diagram for explaining a second upper byte specifying table for specifying upper bytes from the jackpot symbol. The second upper byte specifying table is configured such that one upper byte can be specified from the jackpot symbol. For example, when the big hit symbol is “000”, “111”... “555”, “00”, “01”.

  Returning to FIG. 43, in S934, a process of specifying the lower byte of the display control command from the type of the end-time re-lottery display set in S526 of FIG. 30 is performed.

  Here, the lower byte specifying table for specifying the lower byte from the type of the end-time re-lottery display will be described. FIG. 45B is a diagram for explaining a lower byte specifying table for specifying the lower byte from the type of the end-time re-lottery display. The lower byte specifying table is configured so that one lower byte can be specified from the type of redrawing display at the end. For example, when the type of the end re-lottery display is “normal re-lottery”, “return re-lottery”, “slip re-lottery”, or “two-stage re-lottery”, “01” is set as the lower byte of the display control command. , “02”, “03”, “04” are specified.

  In S935, based on the upper byte specified in S933 and the lower byte specified in S934, processing for specifying and setting a 2-byte ending start command as a display control command is performed. The setting of the ending start command specifically refers to a process of storing the data of the ending start command in a command setting buffer provided in the RAM 75. The stored ending start command is set in the buffer of the RAM 75 in the above-described S518b when YES is determined in the above-described S518, and is displayed as a display control command from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 in the S506 in FIG. The data is output to the display control microcomputer 800. That is, the ending start command set in S935 is stored in the command setting buffer of the RAM 75 until it is determined YES in S518, and is output to the display control microcomputer 800 when it is determined YES in S518. . When the end-time re-lottery display is not performed, a command for specifying that the end-time re-lottery display is not performed (for example, “1111”) is specified and set as an ending start command.

  Next, the operation of the display control microcomputer 800 will be described. FIG. 46 is a flowchart showing a display control main process executed by the display control microcomputer 800. In the display control main process, first, an initialization process is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, initializing a timer for determining a display control activation interval, and the like (S601).

  When the initialization process is completed, the display control microcomputer 800 monitors the timer interrupt flag (S602). When a timer interrupt occurs, the display control microcomputer 800 sets “1” as the value of the timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. If "1" is set as the value of the timer interrupt flag in S602, the display control microcomputer 800 clears the value of the timer interrupt flag (S603) and executes the following display control processing.

  A timer interrupt occurs every 33 ms, for example. That is, the display control process is activated every 33 ms, for example. In the timer interrupt process in this embodiment, only the process of setting “1” as the value of the timer interrupt flag is performed, and the specific display control process is executed in the main process. The display control process may be executed in

  In the display control process, first, a power-off process for monitoring whether or not a power-off signal is output is executed (S604). Next, command analysis processing for analyzing the received display control command is executed (S605). Next, display control process processing is performed (S606). In the display control process, the process corresponding to the current control state (display control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and the display control of the variable display device 9 is executed.

  Next, a random number update process for updating a predetermined random counter is executed (S607). Thereafter, the process returns to the process of checking the timer interrupt flag in S602. The display control INT signal from the sound / lamp control board 70 is input to the interrupt terminal of the display control microcomputer 800. For example, when the INT signal from the sound / lamp control board 70 is turned on, an INT interrupt is generated in the display control microcomputer 800. The display control microcomputer 800 executes a display control command reception process in the interrupt process. In the display control command reception process, the display control microcomputer 800 stores the received display control command data in a command reception buffer provided in the RAM 85, analyzes the command based on the command data, and performs various processes. Execute the process. In the command analysis process, when the received display control command is an effect mode command set in S518c of FIG. 28, a process of switching to data for performing an effect corresponding to the effect mode is performed. Production is performed using the data. As a result, it is possible to perform an effect in the effect mode specified from the effect mode command, and to perform an effect corresponding to the value of the loop number counter.

  Next, the display control process according to S606 in FIG. 46 will be described. FIG. 47 is a flowchart showing display control process processing. In the display control process, any one of S700 to S706 is executed according to the value of the display control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

  Fluctuation pattern command reception waiting process (S700): It is confirmed whether or not a decoration variation pattern command has been received. If it is confirmed that a decoration variation pattern command has been received, the value of the display control process flag is set to a value corresponding to S701. Update to

  Symbol variation start processing (S701): The ornament variation pattern and variation time are specified from the lower command of the ornament variation pattern command, and variation of the ornament symbol (left, middle, right symbol) in the variation display device 9 is started. Perform processing. Thereafter, the value of the display control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S702.

  Symbol variation processing (S702): Controls the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed, advance notice, background image, variation re-lottery display, etc.) constituting the ornament variation pattern in the variation display device 9, and is set Monitor the end of the variable time. Then, when the variation time set in the variation time timer ends, the left, middle and right symbols of the decorative symbol are stopped, and control is performed to change the state of fluctuation fluctuation in which the symbol is swaying without confirming the display result. . Thereafter, the value of the display control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S703. The above-described re-lottery display during variation is executed in the symbol variation processing. That is, when the upper byte of the received decoration variation pattern command is “00” to “11” described with reference to FIG. 44, the changing temporary stop symbol specified from the upper byte is temporarily stopped in the symbol changing processing. After that, a re-lottery display during fluctuation is performed, and control for stopping (fluctuating fluctuation) the stop symbol at the end of fluctuation is performed. Also, when the upper byte of the received decoration variation pattern command is “12” to “E9” described in FIG. 44, the change end stop symbol or the final stop symbol specified from the upper byte in the symbol variation processing. Is controlled to stop (swing fluctuation).

  Symbol stop waiting process (S703): If the stop command is received after the variation time specified by the ornament variation pattern command has elapsed, the variation of the ornament symbol on the variation display device 9 is stopped (the above-mentioned fluctuation variation state is stopped). ) And control to display the stop symbol to confirm the stop symbol. That is, in the process during symbol change, control is performed to stop the stop symbol at the end of change or the final stop symbol specified from the higher byte. Thereafter, when the stop symbol of the decorative symbol on the variable display device 9 is a combination of jackpot symbol, the value of the display control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S704, and the display control of the jackpot gaming state is shifted to. On the other hand, when the stop symbol of the decorative symbol on the variable display device 9 is a combination of symbols that are off, the value of the display control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S700.

  Big hit display processing (S704): After the end of the decorative symbol change time on the variable display device 9, display at the start of the big hit. Thereafter, the value of the display control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S705.

  Big hit game processing (S705): Control for displaying a big hit game effect, which is a display for producing an effect during the big hit game. When the ending start command is received, the value of the display control process flag is updated to a value according to S706. When the upper byte of the received ending start command is “00” to “05” described with reference to FIG. 45, the end re-lottery display of the type specified from the lower byte of the received ending start command is set. When the received ending start command is a command specifying that the re-lottery display at the end is not performed, the normal ending display is set.

  Big hit game end process (S706): The ending display set in the big hit game process is performed. The ending display ends when an ending end command is received from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700. The above-mentioned end-time re-lottery display is executed in the big hit game ending process. When the re-lottery display at the end is set in the big hit game processing, the final stop symbol specified from the upper byte is stopped by performing the re-lottery display at the end of the set type in the big hit game end processing. Is done. On the other hand, when the normal ending display is set in the big hit game process, the set normal ending display is performed in the big hit game end process. Thereafter, the value of the display control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to S700.

  Next, the symbol variation start process in S701 of FIG. 47 will be described. FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing the symbol variation start process (S701) of FIG. In the symbol variation start process, the display control microcomputer 800 performs the following process. First, data for performing a variation display with a decoration variation pattern corresponding to the received decoration variation pattern command is set (S711). Specifically, in S711, the decoration variation pattern is set by selecting and setting data used for variation display with the decoration variation pattern specified from the lower byte of the received decoration variation pattern command. Then, the variation time corresponding to the received decoration variation pattern command is set in the variation time timer for measuring the variation time in the variation display device 9, and the variation time timer (the variation time measurement) is started ( S712).

  Next, with the decoration variation pattern set in S712, the variation display of the decoration symbol for deriving and displaying the display result on the variation display device 9 is started (S713). Then, the display control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the symbol changing process (S702) (S714), and the process returns. In this way, the start of variation of the decorative pattern with the decorative variation pattern set according to the decorative variation pattern command is executed while being managed by the variation time set according to the decorative variation pattern command.

  FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing the big hit game processing (S705) in the display control process. In the big hit game processing, first, in S720, the big hit game processing is performed. In the big hit game processing, for example, various display effects during each round in the big hit game state and various display effects during the interval period between rounds are performed. In S721, processing for determining whether or not an ending start command has been received is performed. If it is determined in S721 that an ending start command has been received, processing for setting a display effect corresponding to the ending start command is performed in S722. For example, when the upper byte of the received ending start command is “00” to “05” described with reference to FIG. 45, the end redraw display of the type specified from the lower byte of the received ending start command is set. The Further, when the received ending start command is a command for specifying that the re-lottery display at the end is not performed, the normal ending display is set. In S723, a process of updating the value of the display control process flag to a value corresponding to the big hit game end process is performed, and the big hit game process is ended.

  Next, an example of the changing re-lottery display and the end-time re-lottery display in the changing display device 9 will be described. FIG. 50 is an explanatory diagram showing an example when the composite re-lottery display is performed on the variable display device 9, that is, when the variable mid-high accuracy re-lottery display and the end-time high base re-lottery display are performed.

  50 (a) to 50 (d) show a state in which the decorative display of the variable display on the variable display device 9 starts, stops in the order of the left symbol, the right symbol, and the middle symbol, and becomes a combination of the big hit symbol. ing. (A) shows a state in which the variable display of the left, middle, and right symbols has started simultaneously on the variable display device 9. (B) shows a state in which “1” is stopped and displayed as the left symbol. In (c), the same symbol “1” as the left symbol is stopped and displayed as the right symbol, and the reach state is generated. In (d), the middle symbols are displayed in a stopped state, and the three temporary “1” symbols are arranged as the changing temporary stop symbols.

  FIG. 50 (e) shows a big hit occurrence notification effect for notifying that a big hit has occurred. In the big hit occurrence notification effect, a message such as “big hit !!!!” is displayed in the center of the variable display device 9 to notify that the big hit has occurred.

  50 (f) to 50 (i) show a state in which the variable display device 9 performs the variable mid-high accuracy re-lottery display. (F) shows a state in which a message such as “high-precision re-lottery !!” is displayed to notify that the variable high-precision re-lottery display is performed. When the changing medium / high base re-lottery display is performed, a message such as “high base re-lottery!” Is displayed to notify that the changing medium / high base re-lottery display is performed.

  (G) shows a state where the variation display device 9 displays the variation again while maintaining the combination of jackpot symbols. The state of re-variable display while maintaining the combination of jackpot symbols is, for example, a state of “111” → “222” →... “555” → “000” →. In (h), as a result of the re-lottery, the stop symbol at the end of the change is displayed, and the state where the three symbols “1” are aligned again is shown. (I) shows a state in which a message such as “rising failure ...” indicating that the probability variation big hit symbol has not been achieved is displayed. After the high-accuracy re-lottery display during the change is finished, the gaming state shifts to the big hit gaming state, and the big hit game is started.

  50 (j) to 50 (p) show a state where the big hit game is finished and the ending display is performed. Here, as described above, the end-time high base re-lottery display is set as the ending display. In (j), a message such as “End of jackpot” is displayed to notify that the jackpot gaming state has ended. When normal ending display is set as the ending display, a message such as “End of jackpot” is displayed and the process ends. (K) shows a state where a message such as “high base re-lottery!” Is displayed to notify that the high base re-lottery display is performed at the end. In addition, when the high-accuracy re-lottery display at the end is performed, a message such as “High-accuracy re-lottery!” Is displayed to notify that the high-accuracy re-lottery display at the end is performed.

  Similarly to (g), (m) shows a state in which the variation display device 9 displays the variation again while maintaining the jackpot symbol combination. In (n), the final stop symbol is displayed as a result of the re-lottery, and the state where three “5” s are arranged is shown. In (p), a message such as “High-accuracy high base entry!” Is displayed indicating that the combination of the normal big hit symbol is changed to the second positive variation big hit symbol combination and the high-accuracy high-base state is controlled. Thereafter, the gaming state is controlled to a highly accurate and high base state.

  As described above, in FIG. 50D, even when the normal big hit symbol is a normal big hit, the fluctuating re-lottery display shown in FIG. 50F to FIG. By performing the re-lottery display at the end shown in 50 (k) to (p), the first probability variable big hit symbol is stopped and controlled to the high probability low base state, and the second probability variable big hit symbol is stopped. It is possible to make the player have a sense of expectation for being controlled in the highly accurate and high base state, and to improve the interest of the game.

Next, main effects obtained by the first embodiment described above will be described.
(1) As described with reference to FIGS. 50D and 50H, as an effect performed in the variable display device 9, whether or not to control the probability variation state based on the display result of the decorative symbol variation display is shown. In addition, a high-precision re-lottery display indicates whether or not the control is to be performed in the probability changing state. Thereby, since whether or not to control to the probability variation state is indicated at a plurality of timings, a variety of display indicating whether or not to control to the probability variation state becomes abundant, and the interest of the player can be enhanced.

  Similarly, as described with reference to FIGS. 50D and 50N, as an effect performed in the variable display device 9, whether or not the high base state is controlled based on the display result of the variable symbol display is shown. In addition, the high base re-lottery display indicates whether or not to control the high base state. Thereby, since whether or not to control to the high base state is indicated at a plurality of timings, variations of the display indicating whether or not to control to the high base state are abundant, and the player's interest can be enhanced.

  In any of S353, S358, S363, and S367 in FIG. 22, the determination as to whether or not to perform the high-precision re-lottery display and the determination as to whether or not to perform the high-base re-lottery display are performed. Based on this, as shown in FIG. 50 and the like, the changing re-lottery display and the end-time re-lottery display are performed. As a result, even when the normal big hit symbol is stopped in the variable display, the changing re-lottery display or the end re-lottery display may be performed, so that it may become a short-time big hit symbol, a first positive variable big hit symbol, or a second positive variable big hit symbol. Expectations such as that, even when the short and large jackpot symbol or the first probability variation big winning symbol is stopped in the variation display, the redrawing display during the variation or the redrawing display at the end may be performed and the expectation that it may become the second certain variation big winning symbol Since the player can have a feeling, the interest of the player can be improved.

  Further, when the high-accuracy re-lottery display is performed, as shown in FIGS. 32 to 36, the temporary stop symbol during the change and the stop symbol at the end of the change are determined from the normal big hit symbol or the short-term big hit symbol, and controlled to the probable change state Since the final stop symbol is determined from the first probability variation big hit symbol or the second probability variation big hit symbol as shown in S551 and S565, the first probability variable big hit symbol or the second probability variation big hit symbol is stopped after the re-lottery display. And a message indicating that the state is controlled to a certain change state is displayed. As a result, the re-lottery display is further displayed even though the first probable big hit symbol or the second probable big hit symbol has already been stopped and displayed to be controlled to the probable state before the high-precision re-lottery display is performed. In addition to being able to prevent the occurrence of inconveniences, there is a sense of expectation that it may be indicated that the low accuracy low base state or a state different from the low accuracy high base state may be indicated in the high accuracy re-drawing display. Can be held by a player.

  Further, when the high base re-lottery display is performed, as shown in FIG. 32 to FIG. 36, the changing temporary stop symbol and the variable end stop symbol are determined from the normal big hit symbol or the first positive variation big hit symbol, and the high base When controlled to the state, as shown in S565 and S580, the final stop symbol is determined from the second probability variable big hit symbol or the hourly / shortest hit symbol, so the second probability variable big hit symbol or the hourly / shortest hit symbol is stopped after the re-lottery display. , The fact that it is controlled to the high base state is displayed. As a result, the re-lottery display is performed even though the second probability variable big-hit symbol or the hourly / short-time big-hit symbol is already stopped and displayed to be controlled to the high base state before the high-base re-lottery display is performed. In addition to preventing the occurrence of inconvenience, the high base re-drawing display may indicate that the low base state may be controlled to be different from the low base state or the high base state. Can be held by a person.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 40 to 42, when the number of deviations as the deviation of the decorative symbol with respect to the jackpot symbol is specified by the symbol command set in S418 of FIG. 23, the reach that varies depending on the number of deviations. The fluctuation time of the deviation fluctuation pattern is set. Thus, even when the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the same variation pattern command from the game control microcomputer 560, if the number of deviations specified by the symbol command is different, the different reach has a deviation variation pattern. Therefore, the number of variation pattern commands can be reduced compared to the case where the variation time is specified by the variation pattern command.

  As shown in FIG. 29, the temporary stop symbol during change, the stop symbol at the end of change, the final stop symbol, the decoration change pattern, and the like are based on the design command and the change pattern command from the game control microcomputer 560. It is determined by the lamp control microcomputer 700. Thereby, the processing load of the game control microcomputer 560 can be reduced.

  (2) Referring to FIG. 9, after the big hit game is finished, the rate of control to the high-accuracy base state is controlled so that the gaming state is a low-accuracy low base state, a low-accuracy high-base state, or a high-accuracy low base state It is set to be higher when it is controlled to the high-accuracy base state than when it is set. Therefore, it is possible to further increase the player's expectation for being controlled from the low accuracy low base state, the low accuracy high base state, or the high accuracy low base state to the high accuracy high base state. Interest can be improved.

  (3) In S539d of FIG. 32, the value of the loop count counter is incremented by 1 when continuously controlled repeatedly in the high-accuracy base state, and an effect mode flag corresponding to the value of the loop count counter is set in S539h. In step S518c of FIG. 28, an effect mode command corresponding to the effect mode flag is set and transmitted from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800, and the variable display device 9 sets the value of the loop number counter. A corresponding production can be performed. Thereby, according to the content of the production | presentation in the fluctuation | variation display apparatus 9, the superiority which a player has can be varied, and the interest of a game can be improved.

  Even when the value of the loop number counter is set, if it is determined that the 2R big hit flag is set in S539g of FIG. 32, an effect corresponding to the value of the loop number counter is obtained by S539k or the like. Since it is controlled so as not to be performed, the gaming state controlled after the 2R big hit game can be prevented from being easily recognized, and the player's expectation can be maintained.

  Further, the update of the loop number counter value and the execution of the performance are performed by the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 and the display control microcomputer 800, so that the processing load on the game control microcomputer 560 is reduced. Can do.

  The value of the loop number counter may be updated by the game control microcomputer 560, and the performance may be executed by the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 and the display control microcomputer 800. Thus, the processing load can be shared among the game control microcomputer 560, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700, and the display control microcomputer 800.

  (4) As described in S529 of FIG. 32, FIG. 38, FIG. 39, and the like, the effect mode after the 2R big hit game is looked up in the effect mode selection table corresponding to the game state to be controlled, A production mode is selected at random, and production is performed in the selected production mode. As a result, even when the performance is performed in the sea mode, which is the performance mode corresponding to the low probability low base state, there is a sense of expectation that may be controlled in a gaming state different from the low probability low base state. Since it can be held by a player, it is possible to prevent customers from leaving.

  In addition, since the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 and the display control microcomputer 800 select the presentation mode after the 2R big hit game, the processing load on the game control microcomputer 560 can be reduced.

  (5) As shown in FIGS. 40 to 42, even when the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the same variation pattern command, the variation / high accuracy re-lottery display specified by the symbol command is displayed. Since the setting of the variation display time of the variation pattern can be varied according to the determination result to be executed, it is possible to execute the variable reproducibility display during variation without increasing the number of variation pattern commands.

  Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 40 to 42, even when the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 receives the same variation pattern command, the variation middle / high base re-lottery display specified by the symbol command is displayed. Since the setting of the variation display time of the variation pattern can be varied according to the determination result to execute, the variation middle / high base re-lottery display can be executed without increasing the number of variation pattern commands.

  (6) The re-lottery display at the end is performed when it is determined in S518 that the ending switch command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 at the end of the 15R big hit game is received. Thus, when the game is controlled to the 15R big hit game state, the player can have a sense of expectation that the re-lottery display at the end will be performed, so the player continues for a long time until the end of the 15R big hit. Can enhance the interest of

  (7) In S935 of FIG. 43, when the end-time re-lottery display is not performed, a process for setting a command for specifying that the end-time re-lottery display is not performed is set as an ending start command. The ending start command is transmitted to the display control microcomputer 800 in S518b when the ending switch command is received in S518. Thereby, the normal ending display is performed as the ending display, and the player can easily grasp that the re-lottery display at the end is not performed. Also, as shown in S434 and S435 in FIG. 24, the end-time re-lottery display execution time is set to be longer than the normal ending display execution time, so that the end-time re-lottery display is not performed. Sometimes, it is possible to prevent the ending display performed by the variable display device 9 from being performed unnecessarily for a long time.

  (8) As shown in FIG. 11, the design command for specifying the display result when there is a divergence is one command that differs depending on the number of deviations from the game control microcomputer 560 to the sound / lamp control microcomputer. 700 is transmitted. For this reason, the number of command transmissions can be reduced as compared with the case where a command for specifying the respective display results of the left, middle, and right display areas in the variable display device 9 is transmitted a plurality of times.

  (9) As shown in FIG. 9, when the current gaming state is the low probability low base state, the ratio of control to the high probability low base state or the high probability high base state is 20%, and the current gaming state The ratio of control to the high accuracy low base state or the high accuracy high base state when is in the low accuracy base state is 30%. On the other hand, when the current gaming state is the high probability low base state, the ratio of control to the high probability low base state or the high probability high base state is 70%, and the current gaming state is the high probability high base state. In some cases, the rate of control to the high accuracy low base state or the high accuracy high base state is 80%. That is, the specific gaming state ends when the current gaming state is controlled to the high probability low base state or the high probability high base state and when the current gaming state is controlled to the low probability low base state or the low probability high base state. Later, it is possible to determine by changing the control ratio to the high accuracy low base state or the high accuracy high base state. In addition, as shown in FIG. 31, when the high-accuracy low base state or the high-accuracy high-base state is controlled, the slide re-lottery or the two-stage re-lottery is executed as the high-accuracy re-lottery display, Alternatively, when the low-accuracy base state is controlled, normal re-lottery or return re-lottery is executed as the high-accuracy re-lottery display. As a result, depending on the type of re-lottery display, there is an impression display in the re-lottery display that includes an effect display that is likely to be controlled to the probable state after the big hit gaming state and an effect display that is difficult to be controlled to the probable state after the big hit gaming state. Can be given to the player, and the player can be interested in what kind of re-lottery display is performed.

  (10) As shown in FIG. 9, when the current gaming state is the low probability and low base state, the percentage that is controlled to the high probability and high base state or the high probability and low base state is 20%, and the current gaming state Is a high-accuracy high-base state or a high-accuracy low-base state when the high-accuracy low-base state is 70%. On the other hand, when the current gaming state is the low-accuracy base state, the percentage of control to the high-accuracy high-base state or the high-accuracy low-base state is 30%, and the current gaming state is the high-accuracy base state. In some cases, the rate of control to the high accuracy high base state or the high accuracy low base state is 80%. That is, the specific gaming state ends when the current gaming state is controlled to the high probability high base state or the low probability high base state and when the current gaming state is controlled to the high probability low base state or the low probability low base state. Later, it is possible to determine by changing the control ratio to the high accuracy high base state or the high accuracy low base state. Further, as shown in FIG. 31, when the high-accuracy base state or the low-accuracy high-base state is controlled, a return re-lottery or two-stage re-lottery is executed as the high-accuracy re-lottery display, Alternatively, when the low probability low base state is controlled, the normal re-lottery or the slide re-lottery is executed as the high-precision re-lottery display. As a result, depending on the type of re-lottery display, there is an impression display in the re-lottery display that includes an effect display that is likely to be controlled to the probable state after the big hit gaming state and an effect display that is difficult to be controlled to the probable state after the big hit gaming state. Can be given to the player, and the player can be interested in what kind of re-lottery display is performed.

  (11) When it is determined to control again to the probability change state after the 15R big hit game is finished while being controlled to the probability change state, the tables for high accuracy time shown in FIGS. 10 (c) and (d) are looked up. The re-lottery display is determined. Further, when it is determined not to be in the probability variation state, and it is determined to control to the probability variation state after the 15R big hit game is finished, the low probability table shown in FIGS. 10C and 10D is looked up and re-executed. The lottery display is determined. When the table for low-accuracy time in FIG. 10C is looked up, the ratio of the decision to execute the high-accuracy re-lottery display is 10/20 in the table for low-accuracy time. It is 12/20 in the work table. Further, the ratio of the decision to execute the high-accuracy re-lottery display when the low-accuracy table in FIG. 10D is looked up is 8/20 in the low-accuracy table. The time table is 10/20. That is, the ratio of executing the first effect display can be determined differently when the high-accuracy time table is looked up and when the low-accuracy time table is looked up. This gives the player the impression that there is a state where it is easy to indicate that the control to the probability change state is highly likely to be indicated by the highly accurate re-lottery display, and a state where it is difficult to indicate that control to the probability change state is highly likely to be indicated by the highly accurate re-lottery display. And the player's interest in each state can be further enhanced.

  (12) As shown in FIG. 29, the type of re-lottery display, the temporary stop symbol during change, the stop symbol at the end of change, the final stop symbol, the decoration change pattern, and the like are the symbol commands from the game control microcomputer 560. Based on the fluctuation pattern command, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 determines the value. Thereby, the processing load of the game control microcomputer 560 can be reduced. Further, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 performs processing efficiently to determine the type of re-lottery display, the temporary stop symbol during variation, the stop symbol at the end of variation, the final stop symbol, the decoration variation pattern, and the like. be able to. For example, when the display control microcomputer 800 determines the type of re-lottery display, the temporary stop symbol during change, the stop symbol at the end of change, the final stop symbol, the decoration change pattern, etc., the sound / lamp control microcomputer If a command corresponding to a design command and a variation pattern command is received from 700, the above contents are determined based on the command, and the determination result is not transmitted to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700, the sound / lamp control The microcomputer 700 cannot control the speaker 27, the decoration lamp 25, the top frame lamp 28a, the left frame lamp 28b, the right frame lamp 28c, and the like according to the determination result. However, in the above-described embodiment, it is not necessary for the display control microcomputer to transmit the determination result to the 800 sound / lamp control microcomputer 700, and processing can be performed efficiently.

  (13) The sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 determines the decoration variation pattern as the effect, the notice effect, the type of the re-lottery display, and the like based on the effect control command in S521 to S523 in FIG. The display control command indicating the display control content for executing the rendered effect is specified. The specified display control command is transmitted to the display control microcomputer 800 by the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700. The sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 performs sound control and lamp control corresponding to the display control contents. As a result, it is possible to perform a sound effect or a lamp effect that is consistent (synchronized) with the display effect in the variable display device 9.

  (14) As described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 50, since the highly accurate re-lottery display and the high base re-lottery display can be executed separately, either the high-accuracy re-lottery display or the high base re-lottery display is performed The expectation that the player has can be made different depending on whether or not the game is enjoyed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, a decoration variation pattern command transmitted from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 includes a decoration variation pattern, a variation time, a variation temporary stop symbol, a variation end stop symbol, This is a multi-command for specifying the final stop symbol and the type of re-drawing display during fluctuation, and the final stop symbol when the ending start command displays the type of re-lottery display at the end and the re-lottery display at the end. The case where it is a multi-command for specifying has been described. However, the multicommands transmitted from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 may be combined in any way with the contents specified from the multicommands. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the decoration variation pattern command transmitted from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 indicates the decoration variation pattern, the variation time, and the type of re-lottery display during variation. If the decoration command is a multi-command for specifying the type of the temporary stop symbol during change, the stop symbol at the end of change, the final stop symbol, and the type of re-lottery at the end. Will be described.

  In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those of the first embodiment will be omitted, and parts different from those of the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing command setting processing in the second embodiment. In the command setting process in the second embodiment, a decorative symbol command setting process is performed in S522a.

  In the decorative symbol command setting process in S522a, after performing the decorative symbol determination process described in FIG. 32, the changing temporary stop symbol determined in accordance with the decorative symbol determining process, the stop symbol at the end of variation, the final stop symbol, and S521 A process for setting a decorative symbol command for specifying the type of the end-time re-lottery display determined in the end-time re-lottery display determination process is performed. The setting of the decorative symbol command specifically refers to processing for setting decorative symbol command data in the buffer of the RAM 75. The set decorative design command is output as a display control command from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 in S506 of FIG.

  The decoration symbol command is a command that can specify the determination result of the jackpot determination by the game control microcomputer 560 because the final stop symbol can be specified. In other words, the decorative symbol command is a multi-command that can specify the type of determination result of the big hit determination, the temporary stop symbol during change, the stop symbol at the end of change, the final stop symbol, and the re-lottery display at the end. For example, if the decorative symbol command is a two-byte command, the determination result of the big hit determination is specified by the upper byte, and the temporary stop symbol during change, the stop symbol at the end of change, the final stop symbol, and the re-display at the end are specified in the lower byte. You may comprise so that the kind of lottery display may be specified.

  In S523a, a decoration variation pattern command setting process is performed. In the decoration variation pattern command setting process in S523a, after the decoration variation pattern determination process described in FIG. 40 is performed, the decoration variation pattern determined in the decoration variation pattern determination process is displayed from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700. A process of specifying and setting a decoration variation pattern command transmitted to the control microcomputer 800 is performed. The setting of the decoration variation pattern command specifically refers to a process of setting the decoration variation pattern command data in the buffer of the RAM 75. The set decoration pattern command is output as a display control command from the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 to the display control microcomputer 800 in S506 of FIG. The decoration variation pattern command is a multi-command that can specify the decoration variation pattern, the variation time, and the type of redrawing display during variation.

  In the decoration variation pattern determination process of FIG. 40 in the second embodiment, in S921, one decoration variation pattern command, variation based on the variation pattern command, symbol command, and random RS1 value received from the game control microcomputer 560. A table configured to be able to specify a decoration change pattern command that can specify the time and the type of the re-lottery display during change is looked up.

  Next, in the display control process of S606 in the second embodiment, the decorative variation pattern and the variation time are specified from the received decorative variation pattern command in the symbol variation start processing (S701), and the decorative symbol in the variation display device 9 is identified. A process for starting the fluctuations is performed.

  When the changing re-lottery display is executed in the symbol changing process (S702), the changing temporary stop symbol specified from the received decorative symbol command is temporarily stopped, and then the changing re-lottery display is performed. Then, control is performed to stop (swing fluctuation) the stop symbol at the end of change specified from the received decorative symbol command. If the changing re-lottery display is not executed in the symbol changing process (S702), control is performed to stop (fluctuate fluctuation) the stop symbol at the end of change or the final stop symbol specified from the received decorative symbol command. .

  In the big hit game processing (S705), when an ending start command is received, an ending display specified from the decorative symbol command already received is set. When it is specified from the decorative design command that end-time re-lottery display is to be performed, processing for setting the end-time re-lottery display of the type specified from the decorative design command as the ending display is performed. On the other hand, when it is specified from the decorative design command that the end-time re-lottery display is not performed, a process of setting the normal ending display as the ending display is performed. In the big hit game ending process (S706), the ending display set in the big hit game in-process is performed. When the end-time re-lottery display is performed as the ending display, control is performed to stop the final stop symbol specified by the decorative symbol command. Since other processes in the display control process are the same as the contents described with reference to FIG. 47, the description will not be repeated. As described above, in the second embodiment, the changing re-lottery display and the end-time re-lottery display described with reference to FIG.

  Regarding the second embodiment described above, the same technical effect as in the case of the first embodiment described above can be obtained with respect to the configuration based on the technical idea common to the first embodiment described above.

Next, a modification of the above-described embodiment will be described.
(1) In the above-described embodiment, whether the symbol command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 is the first probability variation jackpot, the second probability variation jackpot, Whether to make a 2R big hit, reach out of reach, out of reach, etc., whether to perform re-lottery display during fluctuation, and whether to perform re-lottery display at the end The case where the command is a multi-command for specifying the determination result is described. However, the multicommands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 may be combined in any way with the contents specified from the multicommand.

  For example, among the commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 560 to the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700, whether the symbol command is a first probability variation jackpot, a second probability variation jackpot, a time-shortcoming jackpot, This is a multi-command for specifying the determination result of whether to hit 2R big hit, reach out of reach, or out of reach, and the determination result of whether or not to perform re-lottery display during fluctuation. You may comprise so that it may be a multi-command for specifying the pattern and the determination result of whether or not to perform the re-lottery display at the end. For example, in S420 of FIG. 23, a variation pattern command that can specify the variation pattern determined in S412 or S414 of FIG. 23 and the determination result related to the re-lottery display in S393 of FIG. 21 is set. Also good.

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, depending on whether or not the re-lottery display is performed, the 15R big hit symbol is re-varied and a display that rises to a short-term big hit symbol, a first certain variation big hit symbol, a second certain variation big hit symbol, or the like is performed. In the above description, the notification is made as an example of whether or not the low-accuracy base state, the high-accuracy low-base state, or the high-accuracy-high base state is controlled. However, it is not limited to re-fluctuating the 15R jackpot symbol, and whether or not a specific display is performed as a re-lottery display (for example, whether or not a specific character appears or an effect that satisfies a specific condition is performed) Whether or not the low-accuracy base state, the high-accuracy low-base state, or the high-accuracy-high base state is controlled may be notified.

  (3) In the embodiment described above, as described with reference to FIGS. 32 to 37, the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 determines the temporary stop symbol during change, the stop symbol at the end of change, and the final stop symbol. An example was described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display control microcomputer 800 may be configured to determine the changing temporary stop symbol, the changing stop symbol, and the final stop symbol. Thereby, the processing load of the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 can be reduced. Even in such a configuration, since the temporary stop symbol during change, the stop symbol at the end of change, and the final stop symbol are not related to the sound effect or the light effect, the display effect in the variable display device 9 Consistency with sound production and lamp production can be ensured.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 40 and the like, an example in which the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 determines the content of the notice effect has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the notice effect is an effect that is not related to the sound effect or the light effect (for example, an effect that only causes a character to appear), the display control microcomputer 800 displays the contents of the notice effect. May be determined. Thereby, the processing load of the sound / lamp control microcomputer 700 can be reduced. Even in such a case, since the notice effect is not related to the sound effect or the light effect, consistency between the display effect and the sound effect or the lamp effect in the variable display device 9 can be ensured. it can.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the redrawing display at the end is performed at the end of the big hit gaming state is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the timing for performing the re-lottery display at the end may be performed at the following timing. For example, the end-time re-lottery display may be performed at a predetermined timing other than the end of the big hit gaming state in the big hit gaming state, such as the timing of switching rounds in the big hit gaming state. For example, when a re-lottery display at the end is performed at the timing of switching rounds in the big hit gaming state, commands such as effect control commands such as round start commands for instructing the start of each round are sound / lamp When the control board 70 receives the signal, the process for executing the end-time re-lottery display described in S433 to S436 in FIG. 24 may be performed. Further, for example, the end-time re-lottery display can be executed at one of a predetermined timing other than the end of the big hit gaming state in the big hit gaming state and the timing at the end of the big hit gaming state. Alternatively, a random determination means such as a random counter may be used to randomly select and determine at which timing among these timings the end-time re-lottery display is to be executed. In addition, when the end lottery display is performed at a timing other than the end of the big hit gaming state in the big hit gaming state, a random counter such as a random counter indicates how many rounds in the big hit gaming state are executed. You may make it determine at random using a determination means.

The configured example has been described. However, as described above, the decoration variation pattern command is not limited to one in which the upper byte and the lower byte are separated and some contents can be specified from each. The decoration variation pattern command includes the upper byte and the lower byte of the decoration variation pattern command. On the condition that the temporary stop symbol during the change, the stop symbol at the end of the change, the final stop symbol, the decoration change pattern, the determination result of whether or not to execute the re-lottery display during the change, and the re-lottery display during the change It may be configured so as to be able to specify the type or the like.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a gaming state that can be controlled, any number of gaming states can be used as long as the configuration includes one gaming state and a gaming state that is more advantageous for the player than being controlled by the gaming state. It may be controlled.

  For example, in S391 of FIG. 21, the gaming state to be controlled is determined from the low probability low base state as the normal state, the high probability low base state as the first high probability state, and the high probability high base state as the second high probability state. It may be configured as described above. In this case, the second high-probability state may be any gaming state as long as the degree of advantage for the player is greater than that controlled by the first high-probability state. For example, the second high probability state may be a state in which the probability of a specific display result is further improved than the first high probability state. Further, when the second high probability state is controlled to the first short time state even in the first high probability state, the second high probability state is controlled to the second short time state which is more advantageous for the player than the first short time state. It may be. In this case, the second time-short state is not limited to improving the probability of a specific display result as compared to the first time-short state, and the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is further increased. A state in which the opening time of the variable winning ball device 15 at the time of winning is further increased, or a state in which the number of times of opening of the variable winning ball device 15 at the time of hitting is increased, or these are selectively selected. It may be in a combined state. Similarly, in S391 of FIG. 21, the gaming state to be controlled may be determined from the low probability low base state, the low probability high base state, and the high probability high base state.
