Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine configured to determine whether or not a big hit is made when a game ball enters a start opening.

  Some pachinko machines have a first start port, a second start port, and a special entrance. The first starting port is one that allows a game ball to enter, and the special entrance port is switched between an open state in which a game ball can enter and a closed state in which a game ball cannot enter. The second start port is switched between a state where the game ball can enter and a state where the game ball cannot enter, or a state where the game ball can easily enter or is difficult to enter. In the on state of the mode, the state is controlled so that a larger number of game balls can enter compared to the off state. Whether the game ball enters the first start port and the game ball enters the second start port is determined whether or not it is a big hit. This determination process is performed so that it is determined to be a big hit with a higher probability in the on state of the second game mode than in the off state. Is opened. In the case of this pachinko gaming machine, in the first game mode in the off state, a smaller number of game balls are launched into the second starting port than the on state, and the second game mode is in the second game mode. In the off state, it is determined that the number of game balls entering is larger than the on state. That is, the gaming state in which each of the first gaming mode and the second gaming mode is set to the off state is the gaming state that is most disadvantageous for the player.

  46 shows the low probability state transition process 2 in step S180, and the CPU 51 determines in step S211 whether or not the value of the counter MN4 in the counter storage unit 118 is the number of electric support end times (0) recorded in the ROM 52 in advance. To do. The value of the counter MN4 in the counter storage unit 118 is to measure the number of times the special symbol game video is displayed as the first video of the special symbol game immediately after the last big hit round is completed in the jackpot game. If it is determined in step S211 that the value of the counter MN4 in the counter storage unit 118 is the number of times that the electric support is completed, the electronic support flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to an off state in step S212. When the electric chew support flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the off state, the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 116 is also set to the off state, and the CPU 51 sets the electric chew support flag of the flag storage unit 116 in step S212. When the off state is set, in step S213, the value of the counter MN5 in the counter storage unit 118 is set to (1) to record that the gaming state is set to the low probability state, and the process proceeds to step S183 in FIG. . That is, even if the special symbol game image of the number of times of electric support is displayed in the time-saving state (MN5 = 3), if the big hit determination result is not selected, the electric-chu support mode is turned off to lower the time-saving state. Transition to the certain state (MN5 = 1).

  FIG. 47 shows the time-short state transition process in step S182. In step S221, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the counter MN3 in the counter storage unit 118 is the limit number (40). If it is determined that the value of the counter MN3 in the counter storage unit 118 is the limit number, the process proceeds to step S222, and the probability variation flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to an off state. At the time when the probability change flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the off state, the electric chew support flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the on state, and the CPU 51 turns off the probability change flag of the flag storage unit 116 in step S222. If it is set to (2), the value of the counter MN5 in the counter storage unit 118 is set to (3) in step S223 to record that the gaming state is set to the short-time state, and the process proceeds to step S183 in FIG. In other words, if the big hit judgment result is not selected even if the limited number of special symbol game images are displayed in the high probability state (MN5 = 4), the probability variation mode is turned off, so that the time from the high probability state is shortened. Transition to the state (MN5 = 3). In this highly accurate state, the number of times of electric support is initially set to 70 times larger than the limit number (40 times), and the transition from the highly accurate state to the short time state is performed for a special symbol game of the set number of times (30 times). If the jackpot determination result is not selected even when the video is displayed, the low-accuracy state transition processing 2 in step S180 shifts from the short-time state to the low-accuracy state.

  FIG. 48 shows a state in which the gaming state transitions. When the gaming state is set to the high probability state, even when the special symbol gaming video of the limit number (40) is displayed, the jackpot determination result is not selected. The state shifts from the high-accuracy state to the short-time state, and when the special symbol game video of the set number of times (30 times) is displayed in the time-short state, if the big hit determination result is not selected, the state shifts from the short-time state to the low-accuracy state. If the game state is set to the short-time state, the game state changes to the latent state from the short-time state to the low-accuracy state if the jackpot judgment result is not selected even if the special symbol game image of the number of times of electric support is displayed. When the number of special symbol game images of the limited number of times is displayed, if the jackpot determination result is not selected, the state shifts from the latent state to the low probability state.

  When proceeding to step S183 in FIG. 44, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the on state. This probability variation flag is initially set to the off state in step S2, and if the CPU 51 determines in step S183 that the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the on state, the CPU 51 displays the probability variation flag from the ROM 52 in step S184. 12 (a) jackpot determination table 1 is detected, and if it is determined in step S183 that the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the OFF state, the ROM 52 reads the state shown in FIG. The big hit determination table 2 is detected.

  When the CPU 51 detects the jackpot determination table 1 or the jackpot determination table 2, the detection result according to the detection result of the value of the counter MR1 in step S172 or the value of the counter MR1 in step S175 is detected from the detection result of the jackpot determination table in step S186. A determination result corresponding to the result is selected, and it is determined in step S187 whether or not the determination result is a big hit. If it is determined that the determination result is out of step, the process proceeds to step S188, and the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to an off state. This jackpot flag is initially set to the off state in step S2, and when the CPU 51 sets the jackpot flag of the flag storage unit 116 to the off state in step S188, the CPU 51 selects a symbol out of the ROM 52 in step S189, In step S195, the off symbol is recorded as a special symbol selection result in the special symbol storage unit 114. In step S196, the value (1) recorded in advance in the ROM 52 is set in the special symbol process flag of the flag storage unit 116.

  If the CPU 51 determines that the determination result is a big hit in step S187, the CPU 51 sets the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 116 to an on state in step S190. That is, in the ON state of the probability variation mode, when the game ball wins in the upper special symbol start port 25 and when it wins in the lower special symbol start port 27, the same high probability (11 / 201), and in the off state of the probability variation mode, the probability variation mode in which the game ball wins in the upper special symbol start opening 25 and wins in the lower special symbol start opening 27 respectively. It is determined with the same normal probability (10/201) which is lower than that of the ON state.

  When the CPU 51 sets the jackpot flag of the flag storage unit 116 to the on state in step S190, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the off state in step S191. If it is determined that the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the off state, the special symbol selection table 1 of FIG. 13A is detected from the ROM 52 in step S192, and the flag storage unit 116 If it is determined that the priority processing flag is set to the on state, the special symbol selection table 2 shown in FIG. 13B is detected from the ROM 52 in step S193.

When the CPU 51 detects the special symbol selection table 1 or the special symbol selection table 2, in step S194, one special symbol corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter MR3 in step S172 from the detection result in the special symbol selection table or the counter in step S175. One special symbol corresponding to the detection result of the MR3 value is selected. In step S195, the special symbol selection result is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 114, and (1) is set in the special symbol process flag of the flag storage unit 116 in step S196. In other words, when a big hit determination result is selected by winning a game ball in the upper special symbol start opening 25, a special symbol is selected from the special symbol selection table 1 in FIG. When a big hit determination result is selected by winning in the lower special symbol start opening 27, a special symbol is selected from the special symbol selection table 2 of FIG.
[2-7-2] Special symbol variation start process FIG. 49 shows the special symbol variation start process in step S162. This special symbol variation start processing is executed when the special symbol process flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to (1), and the CPU 51 updates the value of the counter MR2 from the counter storage unit 118 in step S231.

The non-probability variable big hit symbol A and 7R ball-out with non-probability variable big hit symbol B and the 15R ball-out with non-probability variable big hit symbol A and the 15R ball-out with non-probable big hit symbol B are compared. If it is determined that the detection result of the special symbol is any one of the 2R ball-with-probability big hit symbol to the 15R ball-out with a non-probability big hit symbol B, the process proceeds to step S234, and the ROM 52 moves to (c) of FIG. The fluctuation start command table 3 is detected.

  If the CPU 51 determines in step S233 that the detection result of the special symbol is different from any of the 2R ball with probability variation big hit symbol to the 15R ball with non-probability big hit symbol B, the special symbol detection result without the 2R ball departure is determined in step S235. Comparison is made with the big hit symbol and the 2R non-probable big hit symbol A, the 2R non-progressive non-probable big hit symbol B, the 7R non-progressive non-probable big hit symbol and the 15R non-progressive big hit symbol.

The fluctuation start command table 1 is detected.

  When the CPU 51 detects any one of the change start command tables 1 to 3, in step S238, the CPU 51 selects one change start command corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter MR2 from the detection result of the change start command table, and changes in step S239. By transmitting the selection result of the start command to the effect control circuit 70, it is notified that the special symbol game is started. In step S240, the value of the counter MN5 is detected from the counter storage unit 118. In step S241, the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is compared with each of (2) and (4). If it is determined that the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is neither (2) nor (4), the process proceeds to step S243, and the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is any of (2) and (4). If it is determined that, the process proceeds to step S242.

  When proceeding to step S242, the CPU 51 adds a constant value (1) to the value of the counter MN3 of the counter storage unit 118, and proceeds to step S243. That is, the value of the counter MN3 in the counter storage unit 118 measures the number of times of display of the special symbol game, and when the gaming state is set to the latent state (MN5 = 2) and the high probability state (MN5 = 4). The game state is not updated when the gaming state is set to the low probability state (MN5 = 1) and when the gaming state is set to the short time state (MN5 = 3).

[2-7-3] Special symbol variation processing FIG. 51 shows the special symbol variation processing in step S163. This special symbol variation process is executed when the special symbol process flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to (2), and the CPU 51 sets the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 to the off state in step S281. Determine whether it is set. If it is determined that the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the OFF state, the process proceeds to step S282, and each of the plurality of LEDs of the upper special symbol display 39 is controlled to blink. The special symbol is displayed on the symbol display 39 in a fluctuating state.

  If the CPU 51 determines in step S281 that the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the on state, the lower special symbol display is performed by controlling blinking of each of the plurality of LEDs of the lower special symbol display 40 in step S283. A special symbol is displayed on the container 40 in a fluctuating state. That is, the special symbol game video is displayed on the upper special symbol display 39 when the game ball wins in the upper special symbol start opening 25, and the game ball wins in the lower special symbol start port 27. In this case, it is displayed on the lower special symbol display 40.

When the CPU 51 displays the video of the special symbol game in step S282 or step S283, the remaining time of the special symbol game is updated by subtracting a constant value (4 msec) from the value of the timer MT1 of the timer storage unit 117 in step S284, In step S285, the result of subtracting the value of timer MT1 is compared with the limit value (0). If it is determined that “MT1 = 0”, a change stop command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 in step S286 to notify that the special symbol game is stopped. In step S287, the flag storage unit 116 A value (3) recorded in advance in the ROM 52 is set as the value of the special symbol process flag.
[2-7-4] Special Symbol Fluctuation Stop Process FIG. 52 shows the special symbol fluctuation stop process in step S164. This special symbol variation stop process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to (3), and the CPU 51 receives the special symbol from the special symbol storage unit 114 in step S291. The selection result is detected, and it is determined in step S292 whether or not the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to an off state. If it is determined that the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the off state, the process proceeds to step S293, and the special symbol variation display on the upper special symbol display 39 is stopped at the detection result of the special symbol. To do. When this priority processing flag is set to the OFF state, the special symbol storage unit 114 is removed as a special symbol, a 2R no-probability positive variation big hit symbol, a 2R no-progress non-probable big hit symbol A and a 2R no-progress non-existence There is a record of either a probabilistic big hit symbol B and a 7R ball without non-probable big hit symbol and a 7R ball with non-probable big hit symbol B and a 15R non-probable big hit symbol and a 15R ball with non-probable big hit symbol B. The special symbol variation display on the upper special symbol display 39 stops at any one of the symbols B which are out-of-probability and the 15R ball is out and there is a non-probable large hit symbol B.

  When the CPU 51 determines in step S292 that the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the on state, the CPU 51 stops the special symbol variation display of the lower special symbol display 40 based on the detection result of the special symbol in step S294. When this priority processing flag is set to the on state, the special symbol storage unit 114 is removed as a special symbol, a 2R ball-out with a probable big hit symbol, a 2R ball-out with a non-probable big hit symbol and a 7R ball-out with a non-probable change Either big hit symbol A and 7R ball out, non-probable big hit symbol B or 15R ball out and non-probable big hit symbol A are recorded, and the special symbol change display of the lower special symbol display 40 is out of symbol-15R out Stop at one of the non-probable big hit symbols A with a ball.

When CPU 51 stops displaying the special symbol in step S293 or step S294, CPU 51 sets the interval time (1 × 1000 msec) recorded in advance in ROM 52 as the value of timer MT1 in timer storage unit 117 in step S295, and in step S296. A value (4) recorded in advance in the ROM 52 is set as the value of the special symbol process flag in the flag storage unit 116.
[2-7-5] Interval Processing FIG. 53 shows the interval processing in step S165. This interval process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to (4). In step S300, the CPU 51 determines a constant value from the value of the timer MT1 in the timer storage unit 117. The remaining interval time is updated by subtracting (4 msec). In step S301, the result of subtracting the value of the timer MT1 is compared with the limit value (0). If it is determined that “MT1 = 0”, the process proceeds to step S302.

  In step S302, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to an off state. If it is determined that the big hit flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the OFF state, the special symbol selection result is deleted from the special symbol storage unit 114 in step S303, and the priority of the flag storage unit 116 is determined in step S304. The processing flag is set to an OFF state, and (0) is set to the value of the special symbol process flag in the flag storage unit 116 in step S305. If (0) is set to the value of this special symbol process flag, the process proceeds to step S171 in FIG. 44 in the next special symbol process, and the special symbol holding data of the holding number 1 for the lower special symbol starting port 27 is stored. Whether the value of the counter MR1 and the value of the counter MR3 are recorded in the unit 112 is preferentially determined as compared with the special symbol holding data storage unit 111 of the holding number 1 for the upper special symbol starting port 25.

  If the CPU 51 determines in step S302 that the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to an on state, the CPU 51 sets the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 116 to an off state in step S306. In step S307, the special symbol selection result is detected from the special symbol storage unit 114. In step S308, the big hit round table shown in FIG. In step S309, one continuation number corresponding to the detection result of the special symbol is selected from the big hit round table. In step S310, the continuation number selection result is set as the value of the counter MN1 in the counter storage unit 118.

  When the CPU 51 sets the value of the counter MN1 in step S310, the CPU 51 selects one time limit corresponding to the detection result of the special symbol from the big hit round table in step S311. In step S312, the CPU 51 limits the value to the value of the timer MT1 in the timer storage unit 117. Set the time selection result. In step S313, one limit number corresponding to the detection result of the special symbol is selected from the big hit round table. In step S314, the limit number selection result is set as the value of the counter MN2 in the counter storage unit 118.

When the CPU 51 sets the value of the counter MN2 in step S314, the probability variation mode of the flag storage unit 116 is set to an OFF state in step S315, thereby turning off the probability variation mode, and in step S316, the electric chew support flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set. Turn off the electric support mode by setting to the off state. Then, in step S317, the effect control circuit 70 is notified of the start of the jackpot game by transmitting a jackpot game start command, and in step S318, the special prize opening solenoid 38 is switched from the electrical off state to the on state. The special winning opening 34 is switched from the closed state to the open state, and a value (5) recorded in advance in the ROM 52 is set in the special symbol process flag of the flag storage unit 116 in step S319. That is, each of the probability variation mode and the electric support mode is set to the off state when the big hit game is started regardless of what kind of special symbol is stopped and displayed in the video of the previous special symbol game. .
[2-7-6] Jackpot Game Processing FIG. 54 shows the jackpot game processing in step S166. This jackpot game process is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to (5), and the CPU 51 keeps constant from the value of the timer MT1 in the timer storage unit 117 in step S321. The remaining opening time of the special prize opening 34 is updated by subtracting the value (4 msec), and it is determined whether or not a special prize signal is output from the special prize opening sensor 35 in step S322. If it is determined that the special prize signal is not output from the special prize port sensor 35, the process proceeds to step S324. If it is determined that the special prize signal is output from the special prize port sensor 35, the process proceeds to step S323. Migrate to Here, the remaining limit number is updated by subtracting a predetermined value (1) recorded in advance in the ROM 52 from the value of the counter MN2 of the counter storage unit 118, and the process proceeds to step S324.

  When proceeding to step S324, the CPU 51 compares the subtraction result of the value of the timer MT1 in the timer storage unit 117 with the limit value (0). If it is determined that “MT1 = 0”, the special winning opening 34 is switched from the open state to the closed state in step S326. If it is determined that “MT1> 0”, the counter storage unit is determined in step S325. The value of 118 counter MN2 is compared with the limit value (0). If it is determined that “MN2 = 0”, the process proceeds to step S326, and the special winning opening 34 is switched from the open state to the closed state.

  The special prize opening 34 is closed when a limited number of game balls enter the special prize opening 34 or when the opening time of the special prize opening 34 reaches the limit time. This time limit is the last special symbol game video when the 2R no-probability probable big hit symbol is stopped, the 2R non-probable non-probable big hit symbol A is stopped, and the 2R non-probable non-probable big hit symbol is displayed. In a short time (0.8 x 1000 msec) when B is stopped, when the 7R non-probable big hit symbol is stopped and when the 15R non-probable big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. When set, 2R ball with probability variable big hit symbol is stopped, 2R ball with non-probable big hit symbol is stopped, 7R ball with non-probable big hit symbol A is stopped and 7R out When the non-probable big hit symbol B with a ball is stopped and displayed, when the non-probable big hit symbol A with a 15R ball is stopped and when the non-probable big hit symbol B with a 15R ball is stopped and displayed Is set for a long time (30.0 x 1000 msec), and if the 2R ball-out probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the video of the previous special symbol game ~ 15R non-probability big hit symbol is stopped In each case, the special winning opening 34 is closed when the limit time elapses before the limit number of game balls wins in the special winning opening 34, and the probable big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. In the case where a ball with 15R has been placed and the non-probable big hit symbol B is displayed in a stopped state, the special prize opening 34 is created by winning a limited number of game balls in the special prize opening 34 before the time limit has elapsed. Closed.

  When the special winning opening 34 is closed in step S326, the CPU 51 updates the remaining number of continuations of the big hit round by subtracting a constant value (1) from the value of the counter MN1 of the counter storage unit 118 in step S327, and in step S328, the counter The subtraction result of the value of the counter MN1 in the storage unit 118 is compared with the limit value (0). If it is determined that “MN1> 0”, the limit time selection result in step S311 is reset to the timer MT1 value in the timer storage unit 117 in step S329, and the counter in the counter storage unit 118 is set in step S330. The selection result of the limit number in step S313 is reset to the value of MN2, and the special winning opening 34 is switched from the closed state to the open state again in step S331.

  When the CPU 51 determines that “MN1 = 0” in step S328, the CPU 51 proceeds to the gaming state setting process in step S332 and the counter setting process in step S333. The value of the counter MN1 in the counter storage unit 117 is 2R when the 2R no-probability probable big hit symbol is stopped and displayed when the 2R non-probable non-probable big hit symbol A is stopped and displayed. A special prize opening for the case where the non-probable big hit symbol B with no ball is stopped, the case with the 2R ball with probable big hit symbol is stopped, and the case with the non-probable big hit symbol with 2R ball is stopped. When 34 is closed for the second time, it is subtracted to the limit value (0), and in the video of the special symbol game immediately before, the 7R ball-out non-probable big hit symbol is stopped and the 7R ball-out non-probable case The special winning opening 34 is closed for the seventh time to the limit value (0) when the big hit symbol A is stopped and when the 7R ball-out non-probable big hit symbol B is stopped. Subtracted In the video of the special symbol game immediately before, when the non-probable big hit symbol without 15R launch is stopped, when the non-probable big hit symbol A with 15R launch is stopped, and when the non-probable big hit symbol with 15R launch is displayed. In each of the cases where B is stopped and displayed, the special prize opening 34 is closed at the fifteenth time and is subtracted to the limit value (0).

  When the CPU 51 finishes the counter setting process in step S333, the CPU 51 deletes the special symbol selection result from the special symbol storage unit 114 in step S334. In step S335, a big hit game stop command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 70 to notify that the big hit game is stopped. In step S336, the value of the special symbol process flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to (0). . If (0) is set to the value of this special symbol process flag, the process proceeds to step S171 in FIG. 44 in the next special symbol process, and the special symbol holding data of the holding number 1 for the lower special symbol starting port 27 is stored. Whether the value of the counter MR1 and the value of the counter MR3 are recorded in the unit 112 is preferentially determined as compared with the special symbol holding data storage unit 111 of the holding number 1 for the upper special symbol starting port 25.

  FIG. 55 shows the game state setting process in step S332, and the CPU 51 detects the selection result of the special symbol from the special symbol storage unit 114 in step S341. In step S342, the value of the counter MN5 is detected from the counter storage unit 118. In step S343, it is determined whether or not the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to an off state. Here, if it is determined that the priority processing flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to the off state, the game state determination table 11 of FIG. 14A in the ROM 52 and the game of FIG. 14B in the ROM 52 in step S344. From the state determination table 12, the gaming state determination table 13 in FIG. 15A and the gaming state determination table 14 in FIG. 15B, the one corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is selected, and step S347 is performed. Migrate to In the gaming state determination table 11 of FIG. 14A, (1) for the low probability state is assigned as the value of the counter MN5, and the CPU 51 determines that the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is (1). In step S344, the gaming state determination table 11 for the low probability state in FIG. In the gaming state determination table 12 of FIG. 14B, (2) for the latent state is assigned as the value of the counter MN5, and when the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is (2), the CPU 51 In step S344, the gaming state determination table 12 for the latent state shown in FIG. 14B is selected. In the gaming state determination table 13 of FIG. 15 (a), (3) for the short time state is assigned as the value of the counter MN5, and when the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is (3), the CPU 51 In step S344, the gaming state determination table 13 for the short time state of FIG. 15A is selected. In the gaming state determination table 14 of FIG. 15B, (4) for the high probability state is assigned as the value of the counter MN5, and the CPU 51 determines that the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is (4). In step S344, the gaming state determination table 14 for the high probability state shown in FIG. 15B is selected.

  If the CPU 51 determines in step S343 that the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the on state, the CPU 51 sets the priority processing flag of the flag storage unit 116 to the off state in step S345. In step S346, the gaming state determination table 21 in FIG. 16A, the gaming state determination table 22 in FIG. 16B, the gaming state determination table 23 in FIG. The game state determination table 24 of b) is selected according to the detection result of the value of the counter MN5, and the process proceeds to step S347. In the gaming state determination table 21 in FIG. 16A, (1) for the low probability state is assigned as the value of the counter MN5, and the CPU 51 determines that the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is (1). In step S346, the gaming state determination table 21 for the low probability state in FIG. In the gaming state determination table 22 of FIG. 16B, (2) for the latent state is assigned as the value of the counter MN5, and the CPU 51 determines that the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is (2). In step S346, the game state determination table 22 for the latent state shown in FIG. 16B is selected. In the gaming state determination table 23 in FIG. 17 (a), (3) for the short time state is assigned as the value of the counter MN5, and the CPU 51 determines that the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is (3). In step S346, the gaming state determination table 23 for the short time state of FIG. 17A is selected. In the gaming state determination table 24 of FIG. 17B, (4) for the high probability state is assigned as the value of the counter MN5, and the CPU 51 determines that the detection result of the value of the counter MN5 is (4). In step S346, the gaming state determination table 14 for the high probability state of FIG. 17B is selected.

  When proceeding to step S347, the CPU 51 selects one determination result 1 corresponding to the detection result of the special symbol from the selection result of the gaming state determination table. Then, in step S348, it is determined whether or not the determination result 1 is on. If it is determined that the determination result 1 is on, the probability change flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the on state in step S349, and then the step. The process proceeds to S350, and if it is determined that the determination result 1 is off, the process proceeds to step S350 without setting the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 116 to the on state. In other words, the probability variation mode is set to the on state when the big hit game is finished when the on state is selected as the determination result 1 from the selection result of the gaming state determination table, and from the selection result of the gaming state determination table. When OFF is selected as the determination result 1, even if the big hit game ends, it remains set in the OFF state.

  When proceeding to step S350, the CPU 51 selects one determination result 2 corresponding to the detection result of the special symbol from the selection result of the gaming state determination table. In step S351, it is determined whether or not the determination result 2 is on. If it is determined that the determination result 2 is on, the electric chew support flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to an on state in step S352. The process proceeds to step S353 later, and if it is determined that the determination result 2 is OFF, the process shifts to step S353 without setting the electric chew support flag in the flag storage unit 116 to the ON state. In other words, the electric chew support mode is set to the on state when the big hit game ends when the on result is selected as the determination result 2 from the selection result of the gaming state determination table, and the selection result of the gaming state determination table When “OFF” is selected as the determination result 2 from the above, even if the big hit game ends, it remains set in the OFF state.

  When proceeding to step S353, the CPU 51 selects one electric support number corresponding to the detection result of the special symbol from the selection result of the gaming state determination table. In step S354, the selection result of the number of times of electric support is set as the value of the counter MN4 in the counter storage unit 118. In step S355, the initial value (0) recorded in advance in the ROM 52 is set as the value of the counter MN3 in the counter storage unit 118. Set. That is, the value of the counter MN4 is initially set to the selection result of the variable power support number when the big hit game is finished. When the value of the counter MN4 is initialized, the video of the special symbol game is displayed. Every time it is displayed, a constant value (1) is subtracted from the value of the counter MN4. The value of the counter MN3 is initially set to a constant value when the jackpot game ends. When the value of the counter MN3 is initially set, the value of the counter MN3 is displayed every time a special symbol game video is displayed. A constant value (1) is added to.

  FIG. 56 shows the counter setting process in step S333, and the CPU 51 determines in step S361 whether or not the probability variation flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to an off state. If it is determined that the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the off state, the process proceeds to step S362, and it is determined whether or not the electric chew support flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the off state. To do. If it is determined that the electric chew support flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to the off state, the gaming state is reduced by setting (1) to the value of the counter MN5 in the counter storage unit 118 in step S363. If it is determined that the electronic state support flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the on state, it is recorded that the certain state is set, and in step S364, the value of the counter MN5 of the counter storage unit 118 is set to (3). By doing so, it is recorded that the gaming state is set to the short-time state.

If the CPU 51 determines in step S361 that the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to an on state, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the electric chew support flag in the flag storage unit 116 is set to an off state in step S365. If it is determined that the electric chew support flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the off state, the game state is set to latent by setting (2) to the value of the counter MN5 of the counter storage unit 118 in step S366. When it is determined that the electric chew support flag of the flag storage unit 116 is set to the on state, (4) is set to the value of the counter MN5 of the counter storage unit 118 in step S367. Thus, it is recorded that the gaming state is set to the high probability state.
[3] Explanation of Game Flow When the power is turned on, each of the probability variation mode and the electric chew support mode is set to the off state, so that the low probability state (MN5 = 1) is established. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol start port 23 in this low-accuracy state, the determination result of detachment is selected with a probability of 100%, so that the lower special symbol start port 27 is not opened. It is determined whether or not the game ball is a big hit by winning in the upper special symbol start opening 25. In this low probability state, when the game ball wins in the upper special symbol start opening 25 and the determination result of the big hit is selected, the special symbol is selected from the special symbol selection table 1 and the upper special symbol display 39 is displayed. The special symbol selection result is stopped and displayed. In this special symbol selection table 1, the probability of selection of 2R-probably not probable big hit symbol is set to be the highest (55%). Each of the selection probabilities of B is set to the second highest (15%), the selection probability of the non-probable big hit symbol without 7R launch is set to the fourth highest (6%), and the non-probable big hit symbol B with 7R launch is set. Selection probability is set to the fifth highest (4%), the probability of selection of the non-probability variable big hit symbol B with 15R launch is set to the sixth highest (3%), the selection probability of the non-probability variable big hit symbol without 15R launch Is set to the 7th highest (2%).
[3-1] Continuation of the low probability state When the non-probable large hit symbol B without 2R ball is stopped and displayed on the upper special symbol display 39 in the low probability state, two big hit rounds are performed in the big hit game. . Each of these two big hit rounds is a big hit round without a game that ends when the limit time elapses before the limit number of game balls enter the special winning opening 34, and the player determines the number of balls he holds. Cannot increase greatly. When this big hit game ends, off is selected as each of the determination result 1 and the determination result 2 from the gaming state determination table 11, and (0) is selected as the number of electric support, so that the gaming state becomes a low probability state. The probability that this gaming state is reset from the low probability state to the low probability state is 15%.
[3-2] Transition from the low-accuracy state to the latent state In the low-accuracy state, if the 2R no-progress symbol is stopped on the upper special symbol display 39, there is no two-progress in the big hit game. A big hit round is held. When the big hit game is over, “ON” is selected as the determination result 1 from the gaming state determination table 11, “OFF” is selected as the determination result 2, and (0) is selected as the number of electric support, so that the gaming state is a latent state ( MN5 = 2). In this latent state, if the game ball passes through the normal symbol start port 23, the determination result of the outage is selected with a probability of 100%, so that the game ball wins in the upper special symbol start port 25 and is a big hit If it is determined whether or not there is a big hit, a special symbol is selected from the special symbol selection table 1. The probability that this gaming state shifts from the low probability state to the latent state is 55%.
[3-3] Transition from the low-accuracy state to the short-time state In the low-accuracy state, when the 2R no-progress non-probable big hit symbol A is stopped and displayed on the upper special symbol display 39 and the 7R non-progressive non-probable big hit design When the ball is stopped and when the 15R non-probable big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, a big hit round without big ball is played in the big hit game, and 7R appears on the upper special symbol display 39 in the low probability state. When the non-probable big hit symbol B with a ball is stopped and displayed and when the non-probable big hit symbol B with a 15R ball is stopped and displayed, a big hit round with a ball is played in the big hit game. When each of these big hit games ends, off is selected as the determination result 1 from the gaming state determination table 11, on is selected as the determination result 2, and a value other than (0) is selected as the number of electric support. The state becomes the short time state (MN5 = 3). At this time, when the game ball passes through the normal symbol start port 23 in the short state, the winning determination result is selected with a probability of 100%, so that the game ball is in the upper special symbol start port 25 and the lower special symbol start port 27. Win each of the awards. The lower special symbol start port 27 has a higher priority than the upper special symbol start port 25 for determining whether or not it is a big hit. In the short time state, the game balls are mainly used for the lower special symbol start port. It is determined whether or not it is a big win by winning in 27, and if it is determined that it is a big win, a special symbol is selected from the special symbol selection table 2. The probability that this gaming state is promoted from the low probability state to the short time state is 30% (15% + 6% + 4% + 2% + 3%). FIG. 57 (a) shows a change in the gaming state when the gaming state is in a low probability state. The low probability state transitions to the latent state with the highest probability, and transitions to the time-short state with the second highest probability. It continues to the low probability state with the lowest probability and does not shift to the high probability state.
[3-4] Transition from the latent state to the low probability state In the latent state, the upper special symbol display 39 displays the 2R non-probable non-probable big hit symbol A and the 2R non-progressive non-probable big hit symbol B When the ball is stopped and when the 7R ball-out non-probable big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, a big hit round without a ball is played in the jackpot game, and the 7R ball is displayed on the upper special symbol display 39 in the latent state. When there is a non-probable big hit symbol B stopped and displayed, a big hit round with a ball is played in the big hit game. When each of the big hit games is finished, off is selected as each of the determination result 1 and the determination result 2 from the gaming state determination table 12, and (0) is selected as the number of electric support, so that the gaming state becomes a low probability state. Transition. The probability that this latent state shifts to the low probability state is 40% (15% + 15% + 6% + 4%).

In the latent state, it is determined whether or not the value of the counter MN3 has reached the limit number of times, and if the bonus game determination result is not selected even though the special symbol game image of the limit number is displayed, the latent state is set. Transitions to the low probability state. The maximum number of times is set so that the jackpot judgment result is selected before the video of the special symbol game of the limit number is displayed in the latent state, and before the video of the special symbol game of the maximum number of times is displayed The probability that the jackpot determination result is selected is higher than the probability that the jackpot determination result is not selected.
[3-5] Continuation of latent state In the latent state, when the 2R no-probability probable big hit symbol is stopped on the upper special symbol display 39, a big hit round without exit is performed in the big hit game. When the big hit game is over, “ON” is selected as the determination result 1 from the gaming state determination table 12, “OFF” is selected as the determination result 2, and (0) is selected as the number of electric support, so that the gaming state becomes a latent state. Become. The probability that this latent state will continue is 55%.
[3-6] Transition from the latent state to the short-time state In the latent state, when the 15R non-probable big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the upper special symbol display 39, a big hit round without a big ball is played in the big hit game. In the latent state, when the upper special symbol display 39 has a 15R ball and the non-probable big hit symbol B is stopped and displayed, a big hit round with a ball is played in the big hit game. When each of these big hit games ends, off is selected as the determination result 1 from the gaming state determination table 12, on is selected as the determination result 2, and a value other than (0) is selected as the number of times of electric support. The state transitions to the short time state. The probability that this latent state shifts to the short-time state is 5% (2% + 3%). FIG. 57 (b) shows a change in the gaming state when the gaming state is in the latent state, the latent state continues to the latent state with the highest probability, and shifts to the low probability state with the second highest probability, It shifts to the short time state with a low probability and does not shift to the high accuracy state. The probability that the latent state shifts to the time-short state is set lower than the probability that the low-accuracy state shifts to the time-short state. At this time, the short state is an advantageous state where the player can acquire a large number of game balls as prizes with a small number of game balls fired, and the player has a low probability state in terms of shifting to the short time state with high probability. This is advantageous compared to the latent state.
[3-7] Continuation of the short-time state In the short-time state, when the 2R ball with non-probability large hit symbol is stopped on the lower special symbol display 40 and when the non-probability variable big hit symbol A with 7R ball is stopped and displayed When the non-probable big hit symbol B with 7R and ball is stopped is displayed, and when the non-probable big hit symbol A with 15R and ball is stopped, the big hit round with big ball is played in the big hit game. Can win a large number of game balls as prizes. When each of these big hit games ends, off is selected as the determination result 1 from the gaming state determination table 23, on is selected as the determination result 2, and a value other than (0) is selected as the number of times of electric support. The state is reset to the short state. At this time, the probability that the short state will continue is 45% (30% + 6% + 4% + 5%).

In the short-time state, when the upper special symbol display 39 shows the non-probable big hit symbol A without 2R launch, when the 2R non-probable big hit symbol B stops, and when the 7R non-probable big hit symbol B stops, When the ball is stopped and when the 15R non-probable big hit symbol is stopped, a big hit round without big ball is played in the big hit game, and the 7R ball is displayed on the upper special symbol display 39 in a short time state. When there is a non-probability variable big hit symbol B displayed in a stopped state and when a 15R ball-out non-probable variable big hit symbol B is stopped and displayed, a big hit round with a big ball game is performed. When each of these big hit games ends, off is selected as the determination result 1 from the gaming state determination table 13, on is selected as the determination result 2, and a value other than (0) is selected as the number of times of electric support. The state is reset to the short state. The probability that the short state will continue at this time is 45% (15% + 15% + 6% + 4% + 2 + 3%), and it is determined that the game ball is a big hit by winning in the special symbol starting port 27 in the short state. It is the same as the case.
[3-8] Transition from the short-time state to the high-accuracy state In the short-time state, when the 2R ball is present on the lower special symbol display 40 and the probability variable big-hit symbol is stopped and displayed, a big-hit round with a big-hit game is performed The player can win a large number of game balls as prizes. When the big hit game is over, ON is selected as each of the determination result 1 and the determination result 2 from the gaming state determination table 23, and a value other than (0) is selected as the number of times of electric support, so that the gaming state is changed from the short-time state. Transition to high accuracy state. At this time, the probability that the short state shifts to the high probability state is 55% (30% + 6% + 4% + 5%).

In the short time state, when the 2R no-probability probable big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the upper special symbol display 39, a big hit round without exit is performed in the big hit game. When the big hit game ends, “ON” is selected as each of the determination result 1 and the determination result 2 from the gaming state determination table 13, and a value other than (0) is selected as the electric support number, so that the gaming state is changed from the short-time state. Transition to high accuracy state. At this time, the probability that the short state shifts to the high probability state is 55%, which is the same as the case where it is determined that the game ball is a big hit by winning in the lower special symbol starting port 27 in the short time state.
[3-9] Transition from the short-time state to the low-probability state In the short-time state, a constant value is subtracted from the value of the counter MN4 every time a special symbol game video is displayed. Even if the (70 times) special symbol game video is displayed, if the jackpot determination result is not selected, the gaming state shifts from the short time state to the low probability state. The number of times of electric support is set to be selected so that the big hit judgment result is selected before the special symbol game image of the electric support number is displayed in the short time state, and the image of the special symbol game of the electric support number is displayed. The probability that the jackpot determination result is selected before the determination is higher than the probability that the jackpot determination result is not selected. FIG. 58 (a) shows a change in the gaming state when the gaming state is in the short-time state. The short-time state transitions to the high-accuracy state with the highest probability and continues to the short-time state with the second highest probability. The short state at this time shifts to the low probability state when the number of stoppages of the off symbol in the video of the special symbol game reaches the limit number, and does not shift to the latent state.
[3-10] Continuation of high-precision state In the high-accuracy state, when the 2R ball is present on the lower special symbol display 40 and the probability variable big-hit symbol is stopped and displayed, a big-hit round with a big ball is played in the big-hit game. A player can win a large number of game balls as prizes. When the big hit game ends, “ON” is selected as each of the determination result 1 and the determination result 2 from the gaming state determination table 24, and a value other than (0) is selected as the number of times of electric support, so that the gaming state is a highly probable state. Will be reset to The probability that this highly accurate state will continue is 55%.

In the highly accurate state, when the top special symbol display 39 is stopped and displayed, the probability variable big hit symbol without 2R ball is stopped and a big hit round without ball is played in the big hit game. When the big hit game is over, ON is selected as each of the determination result 1 and the determination result 2 from the gaming state determination table 14, and a value other than (0) is selected as the number of electric support, so that the gaming state is highly probable. Will be reset to The probability that this highly probable state will continue is 55%, which is the same as the case where it is determined that the game ball wins in the lower special symbol starting port 27 in the highly probable state and is a big hit.
[3-11] Transition from the high-accuracy state to the short-time state In the high-accuracy state, the lower special display 40 has a 2R ball with a non-probable large hit symbol and a 7R ball with a non-probable big hit symbol A. When the player is stopped and when the 15R ball is present and the non-probable big hit symbol A is stopped and displayed, the player wins a large number of game balls as prizes. . When the big hit game is over, off is selected as the determination result 1 from the gaming state determination table 24, on is selected as the determination result 2, and a value other than (0) is selected as the number of times of electric support. Transition from high accuracy state to short time state. The probability that this highly accurate state shifts to the short-time state is 41% (30% + 6% + 5%).

  In the high-accuracy state, when the top special symbol display 39 is not displayed with 2R non-probable large hit symbol A, when 2R non-probable non-probable large hit symbol B is stopped, and when 7R non-probable large hit symbol B is not displayed In the case where the symbol is displayed in a stopped state and the case where the 15R non-probable big hit symbol is displayed in a stopped state, a big hit round without a ball is performed in the big hit game, and 7R is displayed on the upper special symbol display 39 in the high probability state. When the non-probability big hit symbol B with a ball is stopped and displayed, and when the non-probability big hit symbol B with a 15R ball is stopped and displayed, a big hit round with a ball is played in the big hit game. When each of these big hit games ends, off is selected as the determination result 1 from the gaming state determination table 14, on is selected as the determination result 2, and a value other than (0) is selected as the number of times of electric support. The state shifts from the high accuracy state to the short time state. The probability that the high-accuracy state shifts to the short-time state is 45%, which is higher than the case where it is determined that the game ball wins in the lower special symbol starting port 27 in the high-accuracy state and is a big hit.

In the high probability state, it is determined whether or not the value of the counter MN3 has reached the limit number of times, and if the determination result of the big hit is not selected even if the video of the special symbol game of the limit number is displayed, the high accuracy state is determined. The state transitions to the short time state. The maximum number of times is set so that the big hit judgment result is selected before the video of the special symbol game of the maximum number of times is displayed in the highly accurate state, and before the video of the special symbol game of the maximum number of times is displayed The probability that the jackpot determination result is selected is higher than the probability that the jackpot determination result is not selected.
[3-12] Transition from high-accuracy state to low-accuracy state There is 7R ball on the lower special symbol display 40 in the high-accuracy state, and when the non-probability variable big hit symbol B is stopped and displayed, there is a big hit game. A big hit round is held, and the player can win a large number of game balls as prizes. When the big hit game ends, off is selected as each of the determination result 1 and the determination result 2 from the gaming state determination table 24, and (0) is selected as the number of electric support, so that the gaming state is changed from the high probability state to the low probability state. Transition to the state. The probability that this high-accuracy state shifts to the low-accuracy state is 4%. FIG. 58 (b) shows a change in the gaming state when the gaming state is in the highly probable state. The highly probable state continues to the highly probable state with the highest probability, and shifts to the short-time state with the second highest probability. Transition to the low probability state with the third highest probability. This high-accuracy state shifts to the low-accuracy state even when the number of stoppages of the off symbol in the special symbol game video reaches the limit number, and does not shift to the latent state.
[3-13] Special functions 1) When the power is turned on, it is set to a low-accuracy state that is advantageous compared to the latent state. Therefore, it is not the most disadvantageous latent state for the player who entered the pachinko hall immediately after sales. There is a privilege that allows the game to be started in the second disadvantageous low probability state.
2) The short-time state does not directly shift to the latent state but directly shifts to the low-accuracy state or the high-accuracy state. This high-accuracy state directly shifts to the low-accuracy state or the short-time state, and does not directly shift to the latent state. That is, each of the short-time state and the high-accuracy state shifts to the latent state via the low-accuracy state, and the player shifts from the short-time state and the high-accuracy state to the most disadvantageous latent state all at once. There are benefits that never happen. In addition, since each of the short-time state and the high-accuracy state shifts from the short-time state and the high-accuracy state, there is a benefit that the player can continue without stopping the game even if each of the short-time state and the high-accuracy state ends.
3) Even if the special symbol game video of the maximum number of times is displayed in the most unfavorable latent state, if the big hit judgment result is not selected, the transition is made from the most unfavorable latent state to the second unfavorable low-accuracy state. . For this reason, there is a benefit that a player who cannot generate a big hit in the latent state can play a game from the latent state to the low probability state without generating a big hit.
4) The high-accuracy state has a possibility of shifting to the low-accuracy state by selecting the jackpot determination result, but the short-time state shifts to the low-probability state by selecting the jackpot determination result. There is no possibility. In other words, the short-time state has a higher expectation that it does not shift to the low-probability state compared to the high-probability state, and for players who play games in the short-time state, the short-time state continues to acquire a large number of game balls as prizes. There is a privilege that can be done.
5) If the big hit determination result is not selected even if the video of the limited number of special symbol games is displayed in the highly accurate state, the state shifts from the highly accurate state to the short time state. For this reason, there is a benefit that a player who cannot generate a big hit in a highly probable state can play a game in a more advantageous time-short state from the high probability state without generating a big hit.
[11] Main Process FIG. 59 shows a main process executed by the CPU 71 of the effect control circuit 70 when the power is turned on. When the power is turned on, the CPU 71 performs register and PIO (parallel input / output port) processing in step S401. Initialize each one. In step S402, the command storage unit 121, flag storage unit 122, timer storage unit 123, counter storage unit 124, and fixed symbol storage unit 125 of the RAM 73 are initialized, and a timer interrupt is generated every 10 msec in step S403.

The CPU 71 detects a change start command from the command storage unit 121 in step S461, and in step S462, the process of FIG. One process data corresponding to the detection result of the change start command is selected from the data table, and an initial value (0) is set as the value of the timer ST1 of the timer storage unit 123 in step S463.

  When the CPU 71 initializes the value of the timer ST1 in step S463, the CPU 71 selects one video command corresponding to the process data selection result from the video command table of FIG. 27 in step S464, and displays the video command selection result in step S465. Transmit to the control circuit 80. When the display control circuit 80 receives the selection result of the video command, the display control circuit 80 selects the video data for the decoration symbol game corresponding to the reception result of the video command from the VROM (see FIG. 28), and displays the selection result of the video data in the VRAM. Expand to.

  When the CPU 71 transmits the selection result of the video command in step S465, the CPU 71 detects the symbol information command from the command storage unit 121 in step S466, and the symbol information command 04, the symbol information command 05, and the symbol are detected in step S467. The information command 07, the symbol information command 08, the symbol information command 10, and the symbol information command 11 are respectively compared. Each of these six types of symbol information commands is recorded in advance in the ROM 72, and when the CPU 71 determines that the detection result of the symbol information commands is the same as one of the six types of symbol information commands, the process proceeds to step S468. In the jackpot symbol setting process, the decorative symbol is set to the jackpot combination. That is, in the image of a special symbol game, there is a 2R ball with a probable big hit symbol and a 2R ball with a non-probable big hit symbol and a 7R ball with a non-probable big hit symbol A and a 7R ball with a non-probable big hit symbol B with a 15R ball with a non-probable big hit symbol. When each of the probable big hit symbol A and the 15R out-of-ball and non-probable big hit symbol B is stopped and displayed, the decorative symbol is set to the jackpot combination.

  If the CPU 71 determines in step S467 that the detection result of the symbol information command is different from any of the six types of symbol information commands, the detection result of the symbol information command is determined in step S469 as the symbol information command 01, symbol information command 02, and symbol information command 03. And the symbol information command 06 and the symbol information command 09, respectively. Each of these five types of symbol information commands is recorded in advance in the ROM 72, and when the CPU 71 determines that the detection result of the symbol information commands is the same as one of the five types of symbol information commands, the process proceeds to step S470. If the decorative symbol is set to the combination of the detachable reach in the outlier reach symbol setting process, and it is determined that the detection result of the symbol information command is different from any of the five types of symbol information commands, the ornament in the complete out symbol design processing in step S471. Set the design to a completely out of combination. In other words, in a special symbol game image, 2R no-probability probable big hit symbol and 2R no probable non-probable big hit symbol A and 2R no probable non-probable big hit symbol B and 7R no probable non-probable big hit symbol and 15R no prominent big hit symbol When each of the probable big hit symbols is displayed in a stopped state, the decorative symbol is set to the combination of detachment reach, and when the detachable symbol is stopped and displayed in the special symbol game image, the decorative symbol is set to the combination of complete detachment. The

  When the CPU 71 sets the decoration symbol combination in step S468, step S470, or step S471, the CPU 71 records the setting result of the decoration symbol combination in the fixed symbol storage unit 125 in step S472. Then, a reproduction start command is transmitted to the display control circuit 80 in step S473, and a hold erase command is transmitted to the display control circuit 80 in step S474. When receiving the playback start command, the display control circuit 80 starts playback of the video data selection result of the VRAM, and starts displaying the background image of the decorative design game according to the video data selection result on the decorative design display 43. To do. When the display control circuit 80 receives a hold erase command, the display control circuit 80 deletes one hold symbol 45 from the hold area 44 of the decorative symbol display 43.

  FIG. 64 shows the jackpot symbol setting process in step S468. The CPU 71 detects the update result of the value of the counter SR1 from the counter storage unit 124 in step S481, and the symbol table 1 of FIG. To detect. In step S483, one symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter SR1 is selected from the symbol table 1. In step S484, each of the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column is selected. The common symbol element selection result is set, and the setting results of the left column symbol element, the middle column symbol element, and the right column symbol element are recorded in the fixed symbol storage unit 125 in step S472 of FIG.

  FIG. 65 shows the outreach symbol setting process in step S470. The CPU 71 detects the symbol table 1 in FIG. 30A from the ROM 72 in step S491, and the symbol table 2 in FIG. 30B in FIG. 30B from the ROM 72 in step S492. Is detected. In step S493, the update result of the value of the counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 124. In step S494, the detection result of the value of the counter SR1 as the symbol element in the left column and the symbol element in the right column is detected from the symbol table 1. One corresponding symbol element is selected.

  When the CPU 71 selects a symbol element in step S494, the CPU 71 detects the update result of the value of the counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 124 in step S495. In step S496, one symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter SR2 is selected from the symbol table 2 as a symbol element in the middle column. In step S497, the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the right column are selected. It is determined whether or not the selection results of the symbol elements are the same. If it is determined that the selection results of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column are not identical to each other, in step S499, the symbol elements in the left column to the symbol elements in the right column are set as selection results. Then, in step S472 in FIG. 63, the setting results of the symbol elements in the left column to the symbol elements in the right column are recorded in the determined symbol storage unit 125. For example, when the selection result of the symbol element in the left column and the selection result of the symbol element in the right column are each (7) and the selection result of the symbol element in the middle column is (3), the decoration symbol is stored in the fixed symbol storage unit 125. Is recorded as a combination of detach reach (737).

  If the CPU 71 determines in step S497 that the selection results of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column are the same, the CPU 71 changes the selection result of the symbol element in the middle column to the next symbol element in step 498. In step S499, each of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column is set as a selection result, and in step S472 in FIG. 63, the setting results of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column are stored in the fixed symbol. Recorded in section 125. For example, when the selection result of the symbol element in the left column to the symbol element in the right column is (8), the selection result of the symbol element in the middle column is changed to (1) next to (8), and the confirmed symbol The decorative design is recorded in the storage unit 125 as a combination of detachment reach (818).

  FIG. 66 shows the complete out symbol setting process in step S471. The CPU 71 detects the symbol table 1 in FIG. 30A from the ROM 72 in step S501, and the symbol table 2 in FIG. 30B from the ROM 72 in step S502. In step S503, the symbol table 3 shown in FIG. In step S504, the update result of the value of the counter SR1 is detected from the counter storage unit 124. In step S505, one symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter SR1 is selected as the symbol element in the left column from the symbol table 1. To do.

  When the CPU 71 selects a symbol element in step S505, the CPU 71 detects the update result of the value of the counter SR2 from the counter storage unit 124 in step S506, and in step S507, the detection result of the value of the counter SR2 as the symbol element in the middle column. One symbol element corresponding to is selected. In step S508, the update result of the value of the counter SR3 is detected from the counter storage unit 124, and in step S509, one symbol element corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter SR3 is selected from the symbol table 3 as the symbol element in the right column. In step S510, it is determined whether the selection result of the symbol elements in the left column and the selection result of the symbol elements in the right column are the same. If it is determined that the selection result of the left column symbol element and the right column symbol element are not the same, the left column symbol element, the middle column symbol element, and the right column symbol element are determined in step S512. Are set as selection results, and the setting results of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column are recorded in the confirmed symbol storage unit 125 in step S472 of FIG. For example, if the selection result of the symbol element in the left column is (8), the selection result of the symbol element in the right column is (7), and the selection result of the symbol element in the middle column is (1), the selected symbol storage unit 125 The decorative design is recorded in a completely out-of-combination combination (817).

That is, the lower special symbol starting port 27 is made difficult for the game ball to enter when both the blades 28 are closed, and the lower special symbol starting port 27 is made to enter the lower special symbol starting port 27 when the two blades 28 are opened. You may make it easy to enter.

  In each of the first and second embodiments, the main control circuit 50 may determine with the same probability that the main control circuit 50 is a win in each of the on state and the off state of the electric chew support mode. In the case of this configuration, the main control circuit 50 sets “the open time of the lower special symbol start opening 27 is longer in the on state of the electric chew support mode than in the off state” and “off in the on state of the electric chew support mode. In the ON state of the electric support mode in any one or a combination of “set the time required for normal symbol game to be shorter than the state”, more in the lower special symbol start opening 27 than in the OFF state. It is good also as a structure which accept | permits that a game ball enters.

  In each of the first and second embodiments, the backup power is applied to the RAM 53 of the main control circuit 50 in a power-off state to back up all data including the probability variation flag, the electric support flag, and the counter MN5. It is also good. In this configuration, an initialization switch composed of a self-reset type push switch is provided, and when the power is turned on in the operation state of the initialization switch, the initialization process of step S2 is executed, and the initialization switch is not operated. When the power is turned on in the state, it is preferable not to execute the initialization process in step S2. That is, when the power is turned on in the operation state of the initialization switch, the gaming state is initially set to the low probability state, and when the power is turned on in the non-operation state of the initialization switch, the value of the counter MN5 is backed up. It is better to set the game state according to the result.
