By this, the initial state is restored. The first displacement unit 101 and the second displacement unit 140 are driven by the control unit 21 based on, for example, establishment of a predetermined game state (reach state occurrence, jackpot occurrence, or probability change occurrence). .

  Hereinafter, the generation control of these gaming states will be described. The flowcharts of FIGS. 23 to 26 show various routines executed by the control device 21. Each processing of these routines is executed based on the counter group and the flag F.

  The counter group includes a round counter R, a winning counter P, and a probability variation counter C. The round counter R is for counting the number of rounds, and the winning counter P is for counting the number of winning game balls to the big winning opening 6 based on the detection result of the count switch 20. The probability variation counter C is used to determine the end of the high probability mode, and takes values of “2”, “1”, and “0”. Note that the initial values of the counters R, P, and C are all “0”.

  In addition, the counter group includes an internal random number counter for determining occurrence of a big hit gaming state, an outreach random number counter for determining outreach, etc., a respective symbol counter for determining stop symbols, and a reach And a reach type counter for determining the type of operation. Here, the outreach by the outreach random number counter refers to a state in which the winning combination is not finally made after the above-described reach gaming state. The flag F is used to determine whether or not a game ball has won a prize in the V zone 11, and is set to “0” when no winning is detected by the V zone switch 19. 1 ”. It has already been explained that there are two types of probability modes, a low probability mode and a high probability mode, but the low probability mode is set as the initial value.

When the game by the player is started, the control device 21 first starts the first type of game ball based on the detection result of the start port switch 18 in step S10 of the special electric accessory control routine of FIG. It is determined whether or not there is a winning for the mouth 4. If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated, and if it is satisfied, each value of the internal random number counter and the outlier reach random number counter is acquired and the value of each symbol counter is set in step S20. On the basis of the symbol sequences 8 to 10, the symbol is removed and acquired. Acquisition here refers to a process of reading the value of each counter and storing the value in a memory.

  Next, a symbol variation start process is executed in step S30. Specifically, in step S31 of FIG. 25, the symbols in the symbol rows 8 to 10 are variably displayed on the display device 5, respectively. This display makes it appear to the player that the three reels of left, middle and right are rotating. In step S32, it is determined whether or not the value of the internal random number counter is the same as the jackpot value. As the jackpot value, two types of values (low probability jackpot value and high probability jackpot value) are prepared. The former is a value for generating the jackpot gaming state with the low probability described above, and the latter is a value for generating with a high probability. For example, when the internal random number counter is a value that is updated every predetermined time in the range of “0” to “299”, “7” is set as the low probability jackpot value, and “7”, “17” , “27”, “37”, “47” are the jackpot values for high probability. Then, the probability that the jackpot gaming state will be 1/300 when the low probability jackpot value is used as the jackpot value, and 1/60 when the high probability jackpot value is used as the jackpot value. When the low probability mode is set in the previous control cycle, the low probability jackpot value is selected as the jackpot value. When the high probability mode is set, the high probability jackpot value is selected as the jackpot value.

  If the determination condition of step S32 is satisfied, the big hit symbol corresponding to the big hit value is stored in the memory as a stop symbol in step S33. On the other hand, if the determination condition in step S32 is not satisfied, it is determined in step S34 whether or not the value of the outreach random number counter is the same as the predetermined outreach value. If this determination condition is satisfied, in step S35, a symbol corresponding to the detach reach value (hereinafter referred to as “disconnect reach symbol”) is stored in the memory as a stop symbol. If the determination condition in step S34 is not satisfied, the off symbol in step S20 is stored in the memory as a stop symbol in step S36. Then, after storing the stop symbol in the above steps S33, S35, S36, the symbol variation start processing routine is terminated.

  After the process of step S30 (symbol variation start process) is performed as described above, the symbols in the left and right symbol sequences 8 and 10 are stored in any of the processes of steps S33, S35, and S36 in step S40 of FIG. Replace with the stopped symbol. The symbol fluctuations in the left and right symbol rows 8 and 10 are stopped by the symbol after replacement.

  In step S50, the symbol fluctuation in the middle symbol row 9 is stopped. Subsequently, in step S60, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination is a jackpot combination. If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated. If it is satisfied, a big hit signal ON is output to the output terminals 16B and 16b in step S70. Further, in step S80, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (in this case, an odd symbol). Output to 16C and 16c. Subsequently, in step S100, the round counter R is reset. In step S110, the winning counter P is reset and the flag F is set to “0”.

  Subsequently, the solenoid 15 is excited in step S120 of FIG. Then, the shutter 14 falls and the passage entrance of the special winning opening 6 is opened. With this opening, it is possible to win the game ball in the V zone 11 and the passages 12 and 13. In step S130, the round counter R is incremented by "1".

  Next, in step S140, it is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter P is equal to or less than a predetermined value Pmax. If this determination condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S150 whether or not the scheduled closing time of the special winning opening 6 is yet. If this determination condition is satisfied (step S150: Yes), the process returns to step S140. As a result, after the start of opening the grand prize winning opening 6, as long as more than Pmax game balls are won or the scheduled closing time comes, the big winning opening 6 continues to be opened. On the other hand, if any one of the determination conditions in steps S140 and S150 is not satisfied, the solenoid 15 is demagnetized in step S160. Then, the shutter 14 is raised, and the passage entrance of the special winning opening 6 is closed.

  In step S170, it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter R is equal to or less than Rmax. If this determination condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S180 whether or not the flag F is “1”. If the determination condition of step S180 is satisfied (step S180: Yes), the process returns to step S110 of FIG. Therefore, once the big hit gaming state occurs, the big winning opening 6 repeats the open / close cycle until the game ball wins the V zone 11 at most Rmax times. For example, when the predetermined value Pmax is set to “10”, the opening time of the big prize opening 6 is set to “about 29.5” seconds, and the predetermined value Rmax is set to “16”, the big prize is won. After the opening of the mouth 6, when one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) 10 game balls win the grand prize opening 6, or (2) about 29.5 seconds have passed. The mouth 6 is closed. The opening / closing cycle of the big winning opening 6 is repeated up to 16 times on condition that the game ball is won in the V zone 11. If either one of the determination conditions in steps S170 and S180 is not satisfied, “big hit signal OFF” is output to the output terminals 16B and 16b in step S190. Further, in step S200, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (in this case, an odd symbol). If the symbol is a special symbol (step S200: Yes), the probability variation jackpot signal OFF is output in step S210. Output to 16C and 16c. Subsequently, a probability variation process is executed in step S220, and then the special electric accessory control routine is terminated.

  In the probability variation processing routine of FIG. 26, in step S221, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a normal symbol (in this case, an even symbol). If this determination condition is not satisfied (step S221: No), that is, if the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (odd symbol), whether or not the probability variation counter C is “0” in step S227 (high probability mode) If the probability variation counter C is “0” (in the high probability mode) (S227: Yes), in step S228, the probability variation in-progress signal ON is output to the output terminals 16A and 16a. Output to. Subsequently, in step S229, the high probability mode is set, and the probability variation counter C is set to “2”. After executing the processing of step S229, the probability variation processing routine is terminated. Thus, when the big hit gaming state is continuously generated with the special symbol (odd symbol) during the high probability, the high probability mode is continued.

  On the other hand, if the determination condition in step S221 is satisfied, that is, if the big hit symbol is a normal symbol (even symbol), it is determined in step S222 whether the probability variation counter C is not "0". If the determination condition is not satisfied (C = 0), the probability variation processing routine is terminated. If the determination condition is satisfied (C = 2, 1), the probability variation counter C is decremented by “1” in step S223. In step S224, it is determined whether or not the probability variation counter C is “0”. If this determination condition is not satisfied (C = 1), the probability variation processing routine is terminated. If the determination condition is satisfied (C = 0), in step S225, the probability changing signal OFF is output to the output terminals 16A and 16a. In step S226, the low probability mode is set. Once the high probability mode is set in this way, the probability is high until the probability variation counter C becomes “0”, that is, after the high probability mode is set, until the big hit gaming state is continuously generated twice with an even number of symbols. The mode continues. When the big hit gaming state with an even number of symbols continues twice, the high probability mode ends and the mode is switched to the low probability mode.

  Note that the processing procedure in the present embodiment is an example, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the symbol variation process (step S31) may be performed after the stop symbol storage process (steps S33, S35, S36).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when it is detected that the game ball has won the first type starting port 4, the values of the respective counters are acquired and the symbol columns 8 to 10 are variably displayed. A stop symbol is stored based on the value of each counter, and the symbol variation is stopped by the stop symbol. If the combination of symbols displayed when the game is stopped is a big hit combination, a big hit gaming state advantageous to the player occurs, and the big winning slot 6 is played until the game ball has won a maximum of Rmax times in the V zone 11. The open / close cycle is repeated.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (odd symbol), the high probability mode is set, and the probability of occurrence of the jackpot gaming state is increased two times, the next time and the next time. That is, once the high probability mode is set, the probability of occurrence of two big hit gaming states is increased from the next time, but if the big hit gaming state occurs again with an odd symbol during that period, the high probability mode is set. . On the other hand, if a big hit gaming state occurs in the normal symbol (even symbol) after the period has elapsed, the high probability mode ends (switches to the low probability mode). In such a control process, the character portion is driven and controlled at a predetermined timing (for example, when a big hit occurs, when a probability change occurs, when a reach occurs, etc.). The timing for drive control can be varied. Further, the displacement of the first displacement unit 101 and the second displacement unit 140 may be controlled in association with each other. For example, when the reach occurs, only the first displacement portion 101 is displaced, when the big hit occurs, only the second displacement portion 140 is displaced, and when the probability variation occurs, both the first displacement portion 101 and the second displacement portion 140 are displaced. For example, the first displacement portion 101 and the second displacement portion 140 become more relevant, and the player will watch the trends of both displacement portions carefully, and the decoration and the interest can be effectively improved. it can.

An internal flow path 54 a is configured in the decorative portion 55 so that the game ball can pass through the internal region of the decorative portion 55.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 38 thru | or FIG. 40, in the area | region in which the decoration part 55 was provided, it passes along the inner side which separated predetermined distance from the boundary 90 of the game area | region 90a (refer FIG. 40). An internal flow path 54 a is configured, and the inner flow path 54 a has an outermost edge 91 of a flowable region in the decorative portion 55.

  Further, in the present specification, as described above, the frame (rail 22) is configured in a substantially circular shape (specifically, most of the frame 22 is configured in a circular shape), and the frame configuration is such that there is no frame member in part. For a thing (that is, an arcuate frame configuration lacking a part of a substantially circular shape), an extension line of the arcuate frame is regarded as a game area, and this concept is applied in this embodiment. . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 40, in the non-arrangement region where the rail 22 is not provided (that is, the region between the edge positions P1 and P2 of the rail 22), the vicinity of the non-arrangement region in the rail 22 It is assumed that an extension line having a curve similar to that in the non-arranged region (between P1 and P2) is set. In other words, the boundary of the game area is virtually set so as to draw a smooth curve substantially continuous with the rail 22.

  On the other hand, in FIGS. 38 to 40, the outermost edge 91 of the flowable area is set slightly inside the extended line, and the boundary is slightly different from the game area 90a. The different boundary 90 and the outermost edge 91 are indicated by alternate long and short dash lines. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 40, the boundary 90 of the game area 90a and the outermost edge 91 of the flowable area are different positions in the area where the decoration portion 55 is arranged and in the vicinity thereof. However, in areas other than the area where the decorative portion 55 is arranged, the outermost edge 91 of the flowable area and the boundary 90 of the game area are configured at a common position along the rail 22 as is apparent from the drawing ( This portion is indicated by a common two-dot chain line).

  Further, the return rubber 61 as a collision buffer member that receives the game ball is located near the outermost edge 91 of the flowable area where the game ball can flow down (in the example of FIGS. 38 to 40, it is also near the boundary of the game area 90a). The decorative portion 55 is arranged in the vicinity of the position of the collision buffer member or in a configuration including the collision buffer member inside and across the inside and outside of the outermost edge 91 of the flowable region. 38 to 40, the decorative portion 55 itself is configured to include the return rubber 61, and the main body of the decorative portion 55 (that is, the return rubber 61 in the decorative portion 55 is removed) adjacent to the return rubber 61. Part) is arranged, and this decorative part main body is arranged so as to straddle the inside and outside of the outermost edge 91 of the flowable area. The game area 90a is also arranged so as to straddle the inside and outside of the game area 90a. Here, the decorative portion 55 can be arranged so as to extend at least to the side or substantially the side of the return rubber 61 (in the example of FIG. 38 and the like, the decorative portion 55 extends to the right side of the return rubber 61. Is placed).

  In the present embodiment, as in the other embodiments, the decoration portion 55 is arranged so as to form a continuous design from the vicinity of the center of the game board 7 to the vicinity of the end of the game board 7. More specifically, for example, the outer surface of the board 7 of the game board is configured in a rectangular shape (for example, substantially square, substantially rectangular, etc.) as in FIG. The decorative portion 55 is arranged so as to extend to the vicinity of the portion.

  As described above, throughout the present specification, “near the center of the game board” means the vicinity of the center position of the game board, and at least a position including the center position C1. If the decoration part 55 is arranged or the decoration part 55 is arranged near the center position C1, the decoration part is arranged near the center of the game board. Further, the “center position C1” here is defined as follows. That is, the center line L2 that forms the center in the vertical direction in the area where the game board 7 and the parts attached to the game board 7 are visible through the transparent plates (here, the front glass and the rear glass), and the visibility A position at which the center line L1 that forms the center in the left-right direction of the region that intersects is the center position C1. Further, “near the edge of the game board” in this specification is defined as follows. That is, the shorter edge distance of the distances K1 in the vertical direction or the edge distance K2 in the left-right direction of the region that is visible is the diameter (in FIG. 38, the distance between the edges in the left-right direction). When a circle centered on the center position C1 in the surface direction is virtually set in the surface direction, a portion outside the circle is defined as “near the edge of the game board”. And In FIG. 38, it is clear that the decorative portion 55 extends outside the virtual circle. Further, in this specification, the “near the corner of the game board” means that when a virtual circle as described above is set, it is an external area of the circle and reaches the outer edge of the corner of the game board. This is the area near the corner. The definitions of “near the center of the game board”, “near the edge of the game board”, and “near the corner of the game board” are similarly applied to the other embodiments.

  Also in this embodiment, the glass configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the decorative portion 55 is configured to be covered by both the rear glass 51 and the front glass 52. Is provided with a first raised portion 51C corresponding to the first non-flat portion so as to be bent forward from the flow path constituting flat portion 51E, and on the front glass 52 at a position in front of the first raised portion 51C, A second raised portion 52B corresponding to the second non-flat portion is provided so that a part of the shape is bent forward. And in the decoration part 55, the protrusion decoration part 55f which protrudes in a front position rather than a flow-path structure surface (plate surface 51B) is provided so that it may be covered with the 1st rise part 51C and the 2nd rise part 52B. . In FIG. 38, the position and the outer shape of the first raised portion 51C are conceptually shown by broken lines.

  41 and 42 show an example different from FIG. 38 in relation to this embodiment, FIG. 41 is a conceptual front view, and FIG. 42 is an enlarged view of a part of FIG. . 41 and 42, in a case where a predetermined frame (the rail 22 in FIG. 41) is arranged so as to cross the interior of the decoration portion 55, the boundary 90 of the game area and the outermost edge 91 of the flowable area are different. The configuration is illustrated. Further, here, the rails arranged in the decorative portion 55 are the internal arrangement rails 22b, and the rails arranged outside the decorative portion 55 are the external arrangement rails 22a. As described above, in this specification, the “game area” is an area surrounded by a predetermined frame, but as shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, a predetermined frame (in FIG. 41, a rail). In the configuration in which 22) is arranged so as to cross the decoration portion 55, even if the flow path of the game ball is not formed on the inner side along such a predetermined frame, the predetermined area of the game area is defined by the predetermined frame. It is assumed that the boundary is constructed.

  In the example of FIGS. 41 and 42, an internal flow path 54a is formed in the decoration portion 55 at a center position that is a predetermined distance away from a predetermined frame (that is, the rail 22), and this internal flow path 54a is decorated. The outermost edge 91 of the flowable area is set in the portion 55. That is, the outermost edge 91 of the flowable region is set at the outermost edge of the internal flow path 54a, and the position of the outermost edge 91 of the flowable region and the boundary 90 of the game region 90a is slightly different. And the decoration part 55 is arrange | positioned so that it may straddle the inner and outer sides of the outermost edge 91 of a flowable area | region, and the game area 90a. Also in this configuration, the decorative portion 55 is provided with the return rubber 61 as a collision buffer member, and in the vicinity of the return rubber 61, the decorative portion main body extends from the inside of the game area 90a and the flowable area to the outside. It has a structure that extends up to.
