Is remembered.

  On the output side of the MPU 62, a power failure monitoring board 65, a payout control device 70, an audio lamp control device 90, and an input display unit 120 are connected. For example, the payout control device 70 outputs a winning ball command based on the winning determination result to the winning corresponding winning portion. In this case, when outputting the prize ball command, the command information storage area 63e of the ROM 63 is referred to. When the winning to the general winning opening 21 is specified, a winning ball command corresponding to paying out 10 game balls is output, and when the winning to the variable winning device 22 is specified, 15 winning balls are output. When a winning ball command corresponding to paying out a game ball is output and a winning to the upper operating port 23 is specified, a winning ball command corresponding to paying out three game balls is output and sent to the lower operating port 24. When a winning is specified, a winning ball command corresponding to the payout of four game balls is output.

  Various commands such as a change start command, a type command, a change end command, an opening command, and an ending command are output to the sound lamp control device 90. In this case, the command information storage area 63e of the ROM 63 is referred to when these various commands are output. Details of these various commands will be described later. Each command is configured as information of a predetermined number of bytes, and various information is included as information of the predetermined number of bytes.

  Further, on the output side of the MPU 62, a variable winning drive unit 22c that opens and closes the opening / closing door 22b of the variable winning device 22, an electric combination driving unit 24b that opens and closes the electric combination 24a of the lower working port 24, and a result display unit. 33a and the round display part 33b are connected. The main control board 61 is provided with various driver circuits, and the MPU 62 performs drive control of various drive units through the driver circuits.

  That is, in the opening / closing execution mode, the MPU 62 executes drive control of the variable winning drive unit 22c so that the special winning opening 22a is opened and closed. Further, when the electric combination 24a is won, the MPU 62 performs drive control of the electric combination drive unit 24b so that the electric combination 24a is opened and closed. In each game round, the display control of the display area AS of the result display section 33a is executed in the MPU 62, and the display control of the display area RS of the round display section 33b is executed in the opening / closing execution mode of the variable winning device 22. Is done.

  The power failure monitoring board 65 relays between the main control board 61 and the power supply and launch control device 80, and monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply and launch control device 80. The payout control device 70 performs payout control of prize balls and rental balls by the payout device 71 based on the prize ball command input from the main control device 60.

  The power source and launch control device 80 is connected to, for example, a commercial power source (external power source) in a game hall or the like. Based on the external power supplied from the commercial power supply, necessary operating power is generated for each of the main control board 61 and the payout control device 70, and the generated operating power is supplied through a predetermined power path. To do. The power supply and launch control device 80 is responsible for launch control of the game ball launch mechanism 81, and the game ball launch mechanism 81 is driven when predetermined launch conditions are met.

  The input display unit 120 is provided with a pattern display unit 122, and information on the 20 input states stored in the pattern storage area 64g in the MPU 62 of the main controller 60 is transmitted to the pattern display unit 122. . The pattern display unit 122 displays the pattern information PT1 to PT20 based on the received information about the 20 input states.

  The voice lamp control device 90 is based on various commands input from the main control device 60, the holding lamp portions 35 and 36 provided in the variable display unit 26, the display lamp portion 54 provided in the front door frame 14, and a speaker. In addition to controlling the drive of the unit 55, the display control device 100 is controlled.

  In the display control device 100, display control of the symbol display device 31 is executed based on the command input from the sound lamp control device 90. In this case, the voice lamp control device 90 determines the symbol variation display time on the symbol display device 31 and the type of symbol combination to be finally stopped and displayed based on various commands input from the main control device 60. The presence or absence of reach and the contents of reach production are determined.

  Here, the display content of the symbol display device 31 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display screen G of the symbol display device 31.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, on the display screen G of the symbol display device 31, three symbol rows Z1, Z2, and Z3 of an upper stage, a middle stage, and a lower stage are set as a plurality of variable display areas. Each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 includes a main symbol and a sub symbol arranged in a predetermined order. Specifically, nine types of main symbols “1” to “9” are arranged in descending order of numbers in the upper symbol row Z1, and one sub symbol is arranged between each main symbol. . In the lower symbol row Z3, nine types of main symbols “1” to “9” are arranged in ascending numerical order, and one sub symbol is arranged between the main symbols. That is, the upper symbol row Z1 and the lower symbol row Z3 are composed of 18 symbols. On the other hand, in the middle symbol row Z2, nine types of main symbols “1” to “9” are arranged in ascending numerical order, and then between the main symbol “9” and the main symbol “1”. In addition, a main symbol “4” is additionally arranged, and one sub symbol is arranged between each main symbol. In other words, only the middle symbol row Z2 is composed of 20 symbols by arranging 10 main symbols. On the display screen G, the symbols in the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 are displayed in a variable manner so as to scroll in a predetermined direction with periodicity. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, the display screen G is configured such that three symbols are stopped and displayed for each symbol row, and as a result, a total of nine symbols of 3 × 3 are stopped and displayed. It has come to be.

  The display screen G has five effective lines, that is, a left line L1, a middle line L2, a right line L3, a right lowering line L4, and a right uppering line L5. Then, the variable display stops in the order of the upper symbol row Z1 → the lower symbol row Z3 → the middle symbol row Z2, and all the symbol rows Z1 are formed in a state in which a combination of symbols having the same number attached to any one of the effective lines is formed. When the variation display of .about.Z3 is finished, the jackpot moving image is displayed as the occurrence of a normal jackpot result or an explicit probability variable jackpot result which will be described later.

  In this pachinko machine 10, the main symbols with odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) correspond to “specific symbols”, and when an explicit certainty jackpot result is generated, The combination is stopped. A main symbol with an even number (2, 4, 6, 8) corresponds to a “non-specific symbol”, and when a normal jackpot result or an uncertain probability variation jackpot result to be described later is generated, The combination of specific symbols is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, in the case of an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, which will be described later, all symbol sequences in a state where a predetermined symbol combination different from the same symbol combination, specifically, a symbol combination that is out of reach is formed. The change display of Z1 to Z3 is finished, and then a predetermined moving image is displayed.

  In addition, the mode of the variable display of the symbol in the symbol display device 31 is not limited to the above, and is arbitrary. The number of symbol columns, the direction of the symbol variable display in the symbol column, the number of symbols in each symbol column, etc. Can be appropriately changed. Also, the pattern that is variably displayed on the symbol display device 31 is not limited to the above-described pattern. For example, only a numeral may be variably displayed as the pattern.

<Electrical configuration for performing various lotteries in the MPU 62>
Next, an electrical configuration for performing various lotteries in the MPU 62 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main MPU 92 uses the various counter information in the game to set the jackpot occurrence lottery, the setting of the display of the result display unit 33a and the round display unit 33b, the setting of the symbol display of the symbol display device 31, and the display of the display unit 34 for the accessory Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the jackpot random number counter C1 used for the lottery in which the jackpot is generated, the jackpot type counter C2 used for determining the jackpot type, and the symbol display Reach random number counter C3 used for the reach generation lottery when the device 31 moves out and fluctuates, the random number initial value counter CINI used for setting the initial value of the big hit random number counter C1, the display on the result display unit 33a and the symbol display device 31 A variation type counter CS that determines time is used. Furthermore, the electric accessory release counter C4 used for the lottery to determine whether or not the electric accessory 24a of the lower working port 24 is in the electric utility open state is used. The counters C1 to C3, CINI, CS, and C4 are provided in the lottery counter area 64a of the RAM 64.

  Each of the counters C1 to C3, CINI, CS, and C4 is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value every time it is updated and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. Each counter is updated at short intervals. Information corresponding to the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 is stored in a holding storage area 64b as an acquisition information storage means when a winning to the upper working port 23 or the lower working port 24 occurs. Is done.

  The holding storage area 64b includes a holding area RE and an execution area AE. The holding area RE includes a first holding area RE1, a second holding area RE2, a third holding area RE3, and a fourth holding area RE4, and matches the winning history to the upper operating port 23 or the lower operating port 24. The numerical information of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 stored in the lottery counter area 64a is stored as hold information in any of the hold areas RE1 to RE4.

  In this case, in the first reservation area RE1 to the fourth reservation area RE4, when the winning to the upper operation port 23 or the lower operation port 24 is continuously generated a plurality of times, the first reservation area RE1 → the second reservation area. Each numerical information is stored in time series in the order of RE2 → third reserved area RE3 → fourth reserved area RE4. By providing the four holding areas RE1 to RE4 as described above, up to four game balls winning histories to the upper operating port 23 or the lower operating port 24 are stored on hold. In addition, the holding storage area 64b includes a holding number storage area NA, in order to identify the number in which the winning history to the upper operating port 23 or the lower operating port 24 is stored in the holding number storage area NA. Is stored.

  Note that the number that can be reserved and stored is not limited to four, but may be any other number such as two, three, or five or more.

  The execution area AE is an area for moving each value stored in the first holding area RE1 of the holding area RE when starting the variable display of the result display section 33a. Based on various numerical information stored in the execution area AE, determination of whether or not is made is performed.

  Each of the counters will be described in detail.

  The jackpot random number counter C1 is configured such that one by one is added in order within a range of 0 to 599, for example, and after reaching the maximum value, returns to 0. In particular, when the jackpot random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the random number initial value counter CINI at that time is read as the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1. The random number initial value counter CINI is a loop counter similar to the jackpot random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 599). The big hit random number counter C1 is periodically updated and stored in the holding storage area 64b at the timing when the game ball wins the upper working port 23 or the lower working port 24.

  The value of the random number for winning the jackpot is stored as a success / failure table in a success / failure table storage area 63a as a success / failure information group storage means in the main ROM 93. Here, the contents of the success / failure table will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, as the success / failure table, the success / failure table for the low probability mode shown in FIG. 8 (a) and the success / failure table for the high probability mode shown in FIG. 8 (b) are set. That is, in the pachinko machine 10, the low probability mode and the high probability mode are set as the lottery modes in the success / failure lottery means.

  In the gaming state in which the low-probability mode winning / failing table is referred to at the time of the lottery, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the gaming state in which the winning / failing table for the high probability mode is referred to in the lottery, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the number of random numbers for winning the big hit is four. If the winning probability in the high probability mode is higher than that in the low probability mode, the number of random numbers to be won is arbitrary.

  Moreover, in each lottery mode, the lottery result is an outlier result except for the random number value that is a big win, but in this pachinko machine 10, two types of special outlook results and normal outlook results are set as outlier results. Has been. These differences will be described later.

  The jackpot type counter C2 is configured so that 1 is added in order within the range of 0 to 238, and after reaching the maximum value, it returns to 0. The big hit type counter C <b> 2 is periodically updated and stored in the holding storage area 64 b at the timing when the game ball wins the upper working port 23 or the lower working port 24.

  In the pachinko machine 10, a plurality of jackpot results are set. These multiple jackpot results are: (1) the mode of opening / closing control of the variable winning device 22 in the opening / closing execution mode, (2) the lottery mode in the winning lottery means after the opening / closing execution mode ends, and (3) the bottom after the opening / closing execution mode ends. A plurality of jackpot results are set by providing a difference in the three conditions of the support mode in the electric accessory 24a of the operating port 24.

  Here, as an aspect of the opening / closing control of the variable winning device 22 in the opening / closing execution mode, the frequency of occurrence of winning in the variable winning device 22 from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode becomes relatively high. As described above, the high frequency winning mode and the low frequency winning mode are set. Specifically, in the high-frequency winning mode, the opening / closing of the large winning opening 22a is performed 8 or 16 times from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode, and one opening is performed until 30 seconds elapses or the large winning a prize. This is continued until the number of winnings in the mouth 22a reaches ten. On the other hand, in the low-frequency winning mode, the opening / closing of the large winning opening 22a is performed twice from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode, and one opening is performed until 0.2 sec elapses or the large winning opening 22a is opened. Continue until the number of winnings reaches six.

  In this case, in the pachinko machine 10, in a situation where the launch handle 51 is operated by the player, the game ball launching mechanism 81 is set so that one game ball is launched toward the game area in 0.6 sec. Drive controlled. On the other hand, in the low frequency winning mode, as described above, the opening time of one large winning opening 22a is 0.2 sec. That is, in the low-frequency winning mode, the opening time of the one big winning opening 22a is shorter than the game ball firing cycle. Therefore, in the opening / closing execution mode according to the low frequency winning mode, the winning of the game ball does not substantially occur.

  The number of times of opening / closing the large winning opening 22a in the high-frequency winning mode and the low-frequency winning mode, the opening time limit for opening once, and the opening limit number for opening once are the low-frequency winning mode in the high-frequency winning mode. As long as the frequency of occurrence of winning in the variable winning device 22 increases from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode, the value is not limited to the above value and is arbitrary. Specifically, if the high frequency winning mode has a larger number of opening and closing times than the low frequency winning mode, the opening limit time for one opening is longer, or if the opening limit number for one opening is set to be larger. Good.

  However, in order to clarify the difference in privilege between the high-frequency winning mode and the low-frequency winning mode, in the opening / closing execution mode according to the low-frequency winning mode, the winning to the variable winning device 22 does not substantially occur. It may be configured. For example, in the high-frequency winning mode, the product of the launch period of the game ball and the open limit number is set shorter than the open limit time for one release, while in the low-frequency winning mode, It is good also as a structure which sets the product of the launching period of a game ball and the open limit number longer than open limit time. In addition, even if the launch interval of the game balls and the opening time of one large winning opening 22a are not the above, in the low frequency winning mode, by setting the latter to be shorter than the former, It is possible to easily realize a configuration in which a winning to the variable winning device 22 does not occur substantially.

  As a support mode for the electric combination 24a of the lower working port 24, the electric combination 24a of the lower working port 24 is compared when the game ball is continuously being fired in the same manner with respect to the game area. The low frequency support mode and the high frequency support mode are set so that the frequency of the open state per unit time is relatively high.

  Specifically, in the low-frequency support mode and the high-frequency support mode, the probability of winning the power combination open state in the electric combination release lottery using the electric combination release counter C4 is the same (for example, both 1/2) However, in the high frequency support mode, the number of times that the electric utility item 24a is opened is set more frequently than in the low frequency support mode. The time is set longer. In this case, in the high-frequency support mode, when the electrified open state is selected and the open state of the electric accessory 24a occurs a plurality of times, the closed state from the end of one open state until the next open state is started The time is set shorter than one opening time. Furthermore, in the high frequency support mode, the minimum secured time is set shorter when the next electric character opening lottery is performed after one electric character opening lottery is performed than in the low frequency support mode. Has been.

  As described above, in the high frequency support mode, there is a higher probability of winning a prize to the lower working port 24 than in the low frequency support mode. In other words, in the low frequency support mode, there is a higher probability that a prize will be generated in the upper operating port 23 than in the lower operating port 24, but in the high frequency support mode, the lower operating port 24 is connected to the lower operating port 24. The probability of winning a prize increases. When a prize is awarded to the lower operating port 24, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Therefore, in the high frequency support mode, the player plays a game while not reducing the number of possessed balls so much. be able to.

  The configuration for increasing the frequency at which the high frequency support mode is set to the power release state per unit time as compared with the low frequency support mode is not limited to the above-described configuration, for example, the electric component release lottery It is good also as a structure which raises the probability of becoming electrified in the electric character open state in Further, the high frequency support mode and the low frequency support mode may be set by making any one condition or any combination of conditions among the number of times, the opening time, and the winning probability different.

  The big hit type counter C2 is periodically updated, and stored in the reserved storage area 64b of the RAM 64 at the timing when the game ball wins the upper operation port 23 or the lower operation port 24.

  The game result distribution destination for the jackpot type counter C2 (that is, the lottery result by the success / failure lottery and the distribution lottery) is stored as a distribution table in the distribution table storage area 63b as the distribution information group storage means in the ROM 63. Yes. Here, the contents of the distribution table will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the distribution table, as shown in FIG. 9, a normal jackpot result, an implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result, an explicit probability variation jackpot result, and an implicit probability variation jackpot result are set as distribution destinations of game results.

  The normal jackpot result is a jackpot result in which the opening / closing execution mode becomes the high-frequency winning mode, and after the opening / closing execution mode is finished, the winning / losing lottery mode becomes the low probability mode and the support mode becomes the low-frequency support mode. In other words, the normal jackpot result is a jackpot result for shifting the gaming state to the normal jackpot state.

  The implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result in which the opening / closing execution mode becomes the low-frequency winning mode, and after the opening / closing execution mode ends, the winning lottery mode becomes the high probability mode, but the support mode does not change. In other words, the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result for shifting the gaming state to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot state.

  The explicit probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result in which the opening / closing execution mode becomes the high-frequency winning mode, and after the opening / closing execution mode ends, the winning / raising lottery mode becomes the high probability mode and the support mode becomes the high-frequency support mode. The high-frequency support mode continues until the lottery result in the winning or failing lottery becomes a big hit state win and shifts to the big hit state by that. In other words, the explicit probability change jackpot result is a jackpot result that shifts the gaming state to the explicit probability change jackpot state.

  The implicit probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result in which the open / close execution mode becomes the high-frequency winning mode, and after the open / close execution mode ends, the winning lottery mode becomes the high probability mode, but the support mode does not change. In other words, the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result for shifting the gaming state to the implicit probability variation jackpot state.

  Note that the normal gaming state in relation to the above gaming states refers to a state in which the winning / losing lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the low frequency support mode.

  In the distribution table, among the values of the jackpot type counter C2 of “0 to 238”, “0 to 46” corresponds to the normal jackpot result, and “47 to 142” corresponds to the implicit 2R probability variable jackpot result. “143 to 166” corresponds to the explicit probability variation jackpot result, and “167 to 238” corresponds to the implicit probability variation jackpot result.

  As described above, as the probability variation jackpot result, the explicit probability variation jackpot result, the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result, and the implicit probability variation jackpot result are set, thereby diversifying the mode of the probability variation jackpot result. That is, when the three types of probability variation jackpot results are compared, the advantage for the player is that the explicit probability variation jackpot result is the highest in the win mode in the opening / closing execution mode and the high frequency support mode in the support mode. Although the change does not occur, the implicit probability change jackpot result that becomes the high-frequency winning mode in the opening / closing execution mode is the next highest, the support mode does not change, and the implicit 2R probability change jackpot that becomes the low-frequency winning mode in the opening / closing execution mode The result is the lowest. Thereby, monotonization of a game is suppressed and it becomes possible to raise the attention degree to a game.

  In particular, in the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result, the support mode is maintained although the success / failure lottery mode shifts to the high probability mode after the opening / closing execution mode ends. Then, when the gaming state before the transition to the opening / closing execution mode is the normal gaming state, the winning / failing lottery mode is set to the high probability mode even though the support mode of the electric accessory 24a is common to the low frequency support mode. It is possible to create a gaming state, and it is possible to cause the player to predict whether the success / failure lottery mode is the high probability mode or the low probability mode, and to increase the degree of attention to the game.

  Moreover, in this pachinko machine 10, when it becomes a losing result in the lottery result, a normal losing result or a special losing result is obtained. In this case, in the case of a normal losing result that occurs with a relatively high probability when the result is a losing result, the open / close execution mode is not shifted, and further, the winning / failing lottery mode and the support mode are not changed.

  On the other hand, a special failure result that occurs with a relatively low probability when a failure result is obtained results in a special failure state. In the special losing state, the open / close execution mode is entered in a situation where the result of losing is determined in the lottery. However, the opening / closing execution mode of the transfer destination is the low-frequency winning mode. Therefore, even if the result is a special loss result, it is not possible to expect a game ball to be awarded to the special winning opening 22a.

  Note that after the opening / closing execution mode ends, the success / failure lottery mode and the support mode do not shift.

  As described above, the special winning result, the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result, and the implicit probability variation jackpot result are set, and the opening of the big prize opening 22a of the variable prize winning device 22 can be used as an effect. Here, not in the opening / closing execution mode, but also in the normal gaming state where the winning / raising lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the low frequency support mode, if the result is a special outage result, the low frequency winning mode is executed. Only the mode is changed, and thereafter, the normal gaming state is restored. On the other hand, when the above-described implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result occurs, the mode shifts to the opening / closing execution mode that is the low-frequency winning mode, and thereafter, the winning / raising lottery mode is high although the support mode is the low-frequency support mode. Probability mode. As a result, the occurrence of a special outage result under normal gaming conditions and the occurrence of an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result will result in a transition to the opening / closing execution mode as the same low-frequency winning mode, and then the support mode becomes low-frequency support. In both cases, the difference between the two is that the winning lottery mode is the low probability mode in the former, whereas the high probability mode is in the latter.

  In addition, when a normal jackpot result is obtained, the mode is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode as the high-frequency winning mode, and thereafter, the normal lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the low-frequency support mode. Return. On the other hand, in the above-mentioned normal gaming state, when an uncertain probability change jackpot result is reached, the mode is switched to the opening / closing execution mode as the high-frequency winning mode, and then the winning / raft lottery mode although the support mode is the low-frequency support mode. Becomes a high probability mode. Then, the occurrence of the normal jackpot result and the occurrence of the unspecified probability change jackpot result under the normal gaming state is caused by the transition to the opening / closing execution mode as the same high-frequency winning mode, and then the support mode becomes the low-frequency support. In common, the difference between the two is that, in the former, the success / failure lottery mode becomes the low probability mode, whereas in the latter, the high probability mode.

  That is, in the normal gaming state, the occurrence of a special loss result and the occurrence of an implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result, the occurrence of a normal jackpot result and the occurrence of an implicit probability variation jackpot result, the behavior of the variable winning device 22 and the lower operating port 24 The behaviors of the movable objects such as the behavior of the electric accessory 24a are common, and only the internal lottery state is different. As a result, when the opening / closing execution mode occurs under the normal gaming state, it is possible to imagine whether the winning / raising lottery mode has shifted to the high-probability mode thereafter, and increase the degree of attention to the game. Is possible.

  For example, the reach random number counter C3 is incremented one by one within a range of 0 to 238, for example, and reaches a maximum value (that is, 238) and then returns to 0. The reach random number counter C3 is periodically updated and stored in the reserved storage area 64b of the RAM 64 at the timing when the game ball wins the upper working port 23 or the lower working port 24. Then, based on the reach table stored in the reach table storage area of the ROM 63, it is determined whether to generate a reach. However, in the game times that shift to the open / close execution mode, the MPU 62 determines the occurrence of reach regardless of the value of the reach random number counter C3. The number of reach random number counters C3 corresponding to the occurrence of reach display is the same in each gaming state, but may be set individually according to the gaming state. For example, when the support mode is the high frequency support mode, the number of reach random number counters C3 corresponding to the occurrence of reach display may be set larger than that in the low frequency support mode.

  Here, the reach display (reach state) includes the symbol display device 31 that can perform variable display (or variable display) of symbols (pictures), and the opening / closing execution mode of the variable winning device 22 is the high-frequency winning mode. In the gaming machine in which the stop display result after the variable display becomes the special display result, the stop display result is derived and displayed after the variable display (or variable display) of the symbol (picture) on the symbol display device 31 is started. This means a display state for making the player think that the display state is a variable display state that is likely to result in the special display result in the previous stage.

  In other words, a combination of jackpot symbols corresponding to the occurrence of the high-frequency winning mode is established by stopping the symbols for some of the symbol sequences displayed on the display screen of the symbol display device 31. This is a display state in which a combination of reach symbols that may be displayed is displayed, and in that state, the symbols are displayed in a variable manner in the remaining symbol rows.

  More specifically, as a step before ending the variable display of symbols, a combination of jackpot symbols corresponding to the occurrence of the high-frequency winning mode is established on a preset active line in the display screen of the symbol display device 31. A reach line is formed by stopping and displaying a combination of reach symbols that may possibly be displayed, and a symbol change display is performed by a final stop symbol row in a situation where the reach line is formed.

  The display contents in FIG. 6 will be described in detail. In the state where the symbol variation display is first ended in the upper symbol row Z1 and the symbol variation display is further terminated in the lower symbol row Z3, any one of the effective items is displayed. A reach line is formed by stopping and displaying the main symbols having the same numbers on the lines L1 to L5, and in the situation where the reach line is formed, the symbol variation display is performed in the middle symbol row Z2. Reach display. When the high-frequency winning mode occurs, the main symbol with the same number as the main symbol forming the reach line is stopped and displayed on the reach line in the middle symbol row Z2. The symbol variation display is terminated.

  In the reach display, in the state where the combination of reach symbols is displayed as described above, the variation display of symbols is performed on the remaining symbol rows, and a predetermined character or the like is displayed as a moving image on the background screen. There are those that produce an effect, and those that perform a reach effect by displaying a predetermined character or the like as a moving image on almost the entire display screen after reducing or not displaying a combination of reach symbols. Further, when reach display is performed or before reach display, it is determined using the reach random number counter C3 or other counter whether or not to perform a notice display using a predetermined image such as a predetermined character. May be.

  For example, the variation type counter CS is incremented one by one within a range of 0 to 198, for example, and reaches a maximum value (that is, 198) and then returns to 0. The variation type counter CS is used when the MPU 62 determines the variation display time in the result display unit 33a and the symbol variation display time in the symbol display device 31. The variation type counter CS is updated once every time a normal process to be described later is executed once, and is repeatedly updated even within the remaining time in the normal process. Then, the value of the variation type counter CS is acquired when determining the variation pattern at the start of variation display in the result display section 33a and at the time of variation start of the symbol by the symbol display device 31.

  The electric accessory release counter C4 is configured so that, for example, 1 is added in order within a range of 0 to 250, and after reaching the maximum value (that is, 250), it returns to 0. The electric accessory release counter C4 is periodically updated, and stored in the electric utility reservation area 64c of the RAM 64 at a timing when a game ball wins the through gate 25. Then, at a predetermined timing, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to control the electric accessory 24a to the open state based on the stored value of the electric accessory release counter C4. For example, if C4 = 0 to 190, the electric accessory 24a is controlled to the open state, and if C4 = 191 to 250, the electric accessory 24a is not controlled to the open state.

  As already described, in the MPU 62, at least the value of the variation type counter CS is used to determine the variation display time in the result display unit 33a. For the determination, the variation display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 is used. . The MPU 62 determines the stop result in the result display unit 33a using the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE. One mode result table storage area 63d is used.

<Various processes executed by main controller 60>
Next, a timer interrupt process and a normal process that are executed when the MPU 62 in the main controller 60 advances the game at each game time will be described. In addition to the timer interrupt process and the normal process, the MPU 62 executes a main process activated when the power is turned on and an NMI interrupt process activated by input of a power failure signal to the NMI terminal (non-maskable terminal). Description of these processes is omitted.

<Timer interrupt processing>
First, timer interrupt processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is started periodically by the MPU 62 (for example, at a cycle of 4 msec).

  In step S101, various detection sensor reading processes are executed. That is, the state of various detection sensors connected to the main control device 60 is read, the state of the various detection sensors is determined, and the detection information (winning detection information) is stored.

  Thereafter, in step S102, the random number initial value counter CINI is updated. Specifically, the random number initial value counter CINI is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value. Then, the update value of the random number initial value counter CINI is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64.

  In subsequent step S103, the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the electric accessory release counter C4 are updated. Specifically, the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3 and the electric accessory release counter C4 are each incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter values reach the maximum value. Then, the updated values of the counters C1 to C4 are stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64.

  Thereafter, in step S104, a through winning process is performed in conjunction with winning through the through gate 25. In the through-winning process, the value of the electric accessory release counter C4 updated in step S103 is stored on the condition that the stored number of stored features is less than 4 stored in the reserved role area. Store in the area. In addition, the voice lamp control device 90 executes a process for lighting the second holding lamp unit 36 of the variable display unit 26 corresponding to the number of reserved memories.

  Thereafter, in step S105, a winning process for the working opening accompanying winning of the working openings 23 and 24 is executed. In the winning process for the operating port, when a winning is made to the operating ports 23 and 24, the number of reserved storage stored in the reserved storage area 64b is less than the upper limit number (for example, “4”). As a condition, the numerical information of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 updated in step S103 is stored in the holding area RE of the holding storage area 64b. In this case, it is stored in the first reserved area among the empty reserved areas RE1 to RE4 of the reserved area RE.

  In subsequent step S106, the input display unit 120 stores the information input to the pattern input unit 121 by the player in the pattern storage area 64g and displays the information stored in the pattern storage area 64g on the pattern display unit 122. After executing the pattern input process for executing the process, the timer interrupt process is terminated.

<Normal processing>
Next, the flow of normal processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The normal process is a process that is started after the main process that is started when the power is turned on, and the main process of the game is executed in the normal process. As an outline, the processing of steps S201 to S208 is executed as a periodic processing with a period of 4 msec, and the counter update processing of steps S209 and S210 is executed with the remaining time.

  In the normal process, in step S201, output data such as a command set in the timer interrupt process or the previous normal process is transmitted to each control device on the sub side. Specifically, the presence or absence of a prize ball command is determined, and if a prize ball command is set, it is transmitted to the payout control device 70. If an effect command such as a change start command, a type command, or a change end command is set, the command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 90.

  Next, in step S202, the variation type counter CS is updated. Specifically, the variation type counter CS is incremented by 1, and the counter value is cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value. Then, the update value of the variation type counter CS is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64.

  In the subsequent step S203, the winning ball counting signal and the payout abnormality signal received from the payout control device 70 are read. Thereafter, in step S204, a game time control process for controlling a game in each game time is executed. In the game times control process, jackpot determination, setting of symbol variation display by the symbol display device 31, display control of the result display unit 33a on the side performing variation display, and the like are performed. Details of the game times control process will be described later.

  Thereafter, in step S205, a game state transition process for shifting the game state is executed. Although details will be described later, the gaming state shifts to an opening / closing execution mode, a high probability mode, a high frequency support mode, and the like by this gaming state transition processing.

  In step S <b> 206, a power combination support process for driving and controlling the electric combination 24 a provided in the lower operation port 24 is executed. In this electric combination support process, it is determined whether or not the electric combination 24a is opened, display control of the combination display 34, and the like are performed.

  In the subsequent step S207, a demonstration display process is executed for setting the display content of the symbol display device 31 for standby display in a situation where both the game times and the opening / closing execution mode are not executed. Details of the demonstration display process will be described later.

  In the subsequent step S208, it is determined whether or not the execution timing of the next normal process has been reached, that is, whether or not a predetermined time (4 msec in the present embodiment) has elapsed since the start of the previous normal process. Then, the random number initial value counter CINI and the variation type counter CS are repeatedly updated within the remaining time until the next normal processing execution timing (steps S209 and S210). That is, in step S209, the random number initial value counter CINI is updated. Specifically, the random number initial value counter CINI is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value. Then, the update value of the random number initial value counter CINI is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64. In step S210, the variation type counter CS is updated. Specifically, the variation type counter CS is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value. Then, the update value of the variation type counter CS is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64.

  Here, since the execution time of each process of steps S201 to S207 changes according to the state of the game, the remaining time until the execution timing of the next normal process is not constant and varies. Therefore, it is possible to update the random number initial value counter CINI (that is, the initial value of the big hit random number counter C1) at random by repeatedly executing the update of the random number initial value counter CINI using the remaining time. The variation type counter CS can also be updated at random.

<Game times control processing>
Next, the game times control process of step S204 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the game times control process shown in FIG. 12, first, in step S301, it is determined whether or not the open / close execution mode is in effect. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing execution mode flag is stored in the opening / closing execution mode flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64. The opening / closing execution mode flag is stored when the gaming state is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode in the gaming state transition process described later, and is erased when the opening / closing execution mode is ended in the gaming state transition process.

  When in the opening / closing execution mode, the game is executed without executing any of the processes after step S302, that is, the game turn start process of steps S303 to S306 and the game turn progress process of steps S307 to S316. End control processing. In other words, in the open / close execution mode, the game times are not started regardless of whether or not a winning for the operation ports 23 and 24 has occurred.

  If it is not in the opening / closing execution mode, it is determined in step S302 whether the result display section 33a is in a variable display. This determination is performed by determining whether or not the variable display flag is stored in the variable display flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64. The variable display flag is stored when the variable display is started for the result display section 33a, and is deleted when the variable display ends.

  If the result display unit 33a is not in a variable display, the process proceeds to a game turn start process in steps S303 to S306. In the game turn starting process, first, in step S303, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved memories is “0”. If the number of reserved memories is “0”, the game times control process is terminated as it is. If the number of reserved memories is not “0”, the data stored in the reserved area RE is set in the execution area AE in step S304, and the remaining data stored in the reserved area RE is shifted to the lower area. And, after executing the data setting process for subtracting 1 from the number of reserved memories, and after executing the fluctuation start process for starting the fluctuation display in the result display section 33a and the fluctuation display in the symbol display device 31 in step S305, After clearing the search permission flag provided in the flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64 in S306, the game turn control process is terminated.

  The search permission flag is a flag for permitting the search of the input pattern already stored in the pattern storage area 64g, and is cleared when the variation display on the result display unit 33a and the variation display on the symbol display device 31 are finished. The The input pattern search will be described later.

  Next, the fluctuation start process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the variation start process, first, in step S401, it is determined whether or not the winning lottery mode is the high probability mode. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the high probability mode flag is stored in the high probability mode flag storage area provided in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64. The high probability mode flag is a flag that is stored at the end of the opening / closing execution mode related to the occurrence of the probability variation jackpot result, and is erased when a normal jackpot result occurs thereafter.

  If it is not the high probability mode, whether or not it is determined is made by referring to the determination table for the low probability mode in step S402. Specifically, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE matches the value set as the jackpot winning in the success / failure table for the low probability mode as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not. On the other hand, if the mode is the high probability mode, in step S403, the determination is made with reference to the high probability mode determination table. Specifically, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE matches the value set as the jackpot winning in the success / failure table for the high probability mode as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not.

  After the process of step S402 or step S403, in step S404 to step S410, a process for setting a game result of the current game round is executed and also executed in the result display unit 33a in the current game round. Processing for setting a stop result when ending the variable display is executed. In this case, when setting the stop result, various first mode result tables stored in the first mode result table storage area 63d as the stop result information group storage means in the ROM 63 are referred to.

  Here, the said 1st aspect result table is demonstrated using FIG.14 and FIG.15. 14 is a first mode result table for jackpots, FIG. 14 (a) is a first mode result table for normal jackpots, and FIG. 14 (b) is a first mode result table for implicit 2R probability variation. FIG. 14C is a first mode result table for explicit probability change, and FIG. 14D is a first mode result table for implicit probability change. 15 is a first mode result table for detachment, FIG. 15A is a first mode result table for special detachment, and FIG. 15B is a first mode result table for normal detachment. It is.

  As already described, the information of the stop result in the result display unit 33a is composed of the display mode information of the first display segment A1 to the ninth display segment A9, and the first display segment A1 to the seventh display segment. Information on the display mode of A7 is information on the first mode, and information on the display mode of the eighth display segment A8 and the ninth display segment A9 is information on the second mode. Here, the information of the first mode is stored in advance in the ROM 63 as the first mode result data.

  As the first mode result data for jackpot, as shown in FIG. 14, a plurality of data of data 1 to data 111 is stored. Of these data 1 to data 111, data 1 to data 47 are the first mode result data for normal jackpots, data 48 to data 67 are the first mode result data for implicit 2R probability change, and data Data 68 to data 91 are first mode result data for explicit probability change, and data 92 to data 111 are first mode result data for implicit probability change. That is, a plurality of first mode result data is set for each game result.

  Each of the first mode result table for normal jackpot, the first mode result table for implicit 2R probability change, the first mode result table for explicit probability change, and the first mode result table for explicit probability change has a jackpot type counter A correspondence relationship between the value of C2 and the first mode result data is stored. Specifically, the address of the first mode result data is stored in association with the value of the jackpot type counter C2.

  In detail about each 1st mode result table, as shown in Drawing 14 (a), it is set as a value of jackpot type counter C2 corresponding to a normal jackpot result in the 1st mode result table for usual jackpots. Of “0 to 46”, “0” is the first mode result data of data 1, “1” is the first mode result data of data 2,..., “45” is the first mode of data 46 In the result data, “46” corresponds to the first mode result data of the data 47.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (b), the first mode result table for the implicit 2R probability change has a value of "47 to 142" set as the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponding to the implicit 2R probability change jackpot result. Of these, “47” is the first mode result data of the data 48, “48” is the stop result data of the data 49,..., “65” is the first mode result data of the data 66, and “66” is This corresponds to the first mode result data of the data 67. From “67”, the data 48 is returned to and sequentially corresponds to the first mode result data of data 48 to data 67 for every 20 values.

  In the first mode result table for explicit probability change, as shown in FIG. 14C, among “143 to 166” set as the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponding to the explicit probability change jackpot result, “143 "Is the first aspect result data of data 68," 144 "is the first aspect result data of data 69, ...," 165 "is the first aspect result data of data 90, and" 166 "is the data 91. To the first mode result data.

  In the first mode result table for implicit probability change, as shown in FIG. 14D, among “167 to 226” set as the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponding to the implicit probability change jackpot result, “167” is the first mode result data of the data 92, “168” is the stop result data of the data 93,..., “185” is the first mode result data of the data 110, and “186” is the data 111. To the first mode result data. From “187”, the data 92 is returned to and corresponds to the first mode result data of data 92 to data 111 in order of 20 values.

  Here, data 48 to data 67 and data 92 to data 111 are set to include the same first mode result data. Specifically, data 48 and data 92, data 49 and data 93,..., Data 66 and data 110, data 67 and data 111 are the same first mode result data. Thereby, the stop result in the first display segment A1 to the seventh display segment A7 is common to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result and the implicit probability variation jackpot result.

  Moreover, each 1st aspect result data is data corresponding to the aspect which light-emitted 2-4 segments in the result display part 33a. The reason why the data corresponding to the mode in which all of the seven segments emit light is not set as the first mode result data is that the player recognizes the display mode of the result display unit 33a and inputs it to the pattern input unit 121. This is to prevent the work from becoming complicated.

  However, if the display mode in the result display unit 33a is diversified with only 2 to 4 segments, the types of display modes corresponding to each type of lottery result are reduced, and the player displays the result display unit in the pattern input unit 121. It becomes easy to memorize even if the information of the display mode 33a is not input. In this case, the player will not play a game using the input display unit 120.

  Therefore, the display results corresponding to each type of lottery result are obtained by sharing the stop results in the first display segment A1 to the seventh display segment A7 in the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result and the implicit probability variation jackpot result. While making it possible to prevent the number of types from being reduced, it is possible to prevent the player's input operation to the pattern input unit 121 from becoming complicated.

  As described above, even when the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result and the implicit probability variation jackpot result having the same first mode result data are set, the result display unit 33a can be confirmed by checking the information of the second mode. It can be determined which lottery result the stop result in shows.

  Specifically, when the stop result is displayed in a manner in which the ninth display segment A9 is caused to emit light, it indicates that the stop result corresponds to the jackpot result, and the ninth display When the stop result is displayed in such a manner that the segment A9 is not caused to emit light, it indicates that the stop result corresponds to the outlier result. Therefore, when the stop result corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result is displayed on the result display unit 33a, the stop result is an aspect in which the ninth display segment A9 is caused to emit light. Yes. Further, when the stop result is displayed in a mode in which the ninth display segment A9 is caused to emit light and the eighth display segment A8 is caused to emit light, the stop result is usually a big hit and an explicit probability change big hit. Or, it indicates that it corresponds to the unspecified probability big hit, and the stop result is displayed in a mode in which the ninth display segment A9 is caused to emit light but the eighth display segment A8 is not caused to emit light. In this case, it is indicated that the stop result corresponds to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot.

  That is, when a stop result including any one of data 48 to data 67 and data 92 to data 111 is displayed on the result display unit 33a, the stop result is displayed as the eighth display segment A8 and the ninth. If the display segment A9 is caused to emit light, it is a stop result corresponding to the implicit jackpot result, and if the eighth display segment A8 is not emitted and only the ninth display segment A9 is caused to emit light, the explicit 2R This is a stop result corresponding to a probable jackpot. Therefore, the player or the hall manager can determine the content of the lottery result by confirming the stop result displayed on the result display unit 33a.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, in the first mode result table for special losing, the first mode for jackpots already described among “0 to 238” set as the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is shown. Similarly to the result table, “0 to 46” corresponds to the first mode result data referring to the first mode result table for the normal jackpot, and “47 to 142” is the first mode result for the implicit 2R probability change. It corresponds to the first mode result data referring to the table, “143 to 166” corresponds to the first mode result data referring to the first mode result table for explicit probability change, and “167 to 238” is This corresponds to the first mode result data referring to the first mode result table for implicit probability change.

  When the first mode result is determined with reference to the first mode result table for special losing, the value of the table reference data corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is used as a new jackpot type counter C2 value for each jackpot The first mode result table is referred to. The table reference data is provided in the ROM 63 and has a numerical value range of 0 to 238, like the jackpot type counter C2.

  The value of the table reference data when referring to the first mode result table for normal jackpots will be described. The first mode result table for normal jackpot probability variation is provided with 47 first mode results corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2. The value of the table reference data is provided so as to correspond to a predetermined 23 first aspect results among the 47 first aspect results. The other 24 first aspect results are not associated with each other when referring to the special outlier first aspect result table.

  The value of the table reference data is associated with a value in the range of “0 to 22” when the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponds to “0 to 46”. Specifically, among “0 to 46” set as the value of the jackpot type counter C2, “0” is “0” of the table reference data and “1” is “1” of the table reference data. .., “21” corresponds to “21” of the table reference data, and “22” corresponds to “22” of the table reference data. From “23”, the value of the table reference data returns to “0”, “23” becomes “0” of the table reference data, “24” becomes “1” of the table reference data,... “44” corresponds to “21” of the table reference data, and “45” corresponds to “22” of the table reference data. “46” corresponds to “0” of the table reference data.

  Next, the value of the table reference data when referring to the first mode result table for implicit 2R probability change will be described. The first mode result table for unspecified 2R probability variation is provided with 20 first mode results corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2. The values of the table reference data are provided corresponding to predetermined ten first aspect results among the twenty first aspect results.

Thereby, the manager of the game hall can monitor what the game result of the game time is by looking at the result display section 33a when the game time is finished. Further, since the result display unit 33a is a display unit that is directly display-controlled by the main control device 60, the display reliability is higher than that of the display unit that the display control device 100 intervenes in the display control. is there.

  Returning to the description of the variation start process (FIG. 13), after the process of step S402 or step S403, it is determined in step S404 whether the lottery result in step S402 or step S403 is a big win. If it is a big win, in steps S405 to S409, a process for setting a game result and a process for setting a stop result in the case of a big win are executed.

  In step S405, the distribution determination is performed with reference to the distribution table (see FIG. 9). Specifically, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is a numerical range of a normal jackpot result, a numerical range of an explicit 2R probability variation jackpot result, a numerical range of an explicit probability variation jackpot result, an implicit probability variation jackpot Determine which of the resulting numerical ranges is included.

  After the process of step S405, it is determined in step S406 whether or not the game result distributed in step S405 is a probability variation jackpot result. If it is a probable jackpot result, in step S407, it is set which stop result is displayed on the result display unit 33a in the current game round in which the probable jackpot result will occur and the variation display is terminated.

  The stop result setting process for probability variation big hit will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S501, it is determined whether or not the game result distributed in step S405 is an explicit probability change jackpot result.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S501, in step S502, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is referred to by referring to the first mode result table for explicit probability change already described. The address information of the corresponding first mode result data is acquired, and the address information is stored in the first mode result address storage area of the RAM 64 in step S503. Thereafter, in step S504, after the explicit probability change flag is stored in the explicit probability change flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64, the stop result setting process is terminated.

  If a negative determination is made in step S501, it is determined in step S505 whether or not the distributed game result is an implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result. If the result is an implicit 2R probability change jackpot result, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is referred to the first mode result table for the implicit 2R probability change already described in step S506. The address information of the first mode result data corresponding to is acquired, and the address information is stored in the first mode result address storage area of the RAM 64 in step S507. Thereafter, in step S508, after storing the implicit 2R probability change flag in the implicit 2R probability change flag storage area in each flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64, the stop result setting process is terminated.

  If a negative determination is made in step S505, in step S509, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is referred to by referring to the first mode result table for implicit probability change already described. The address information of the corresponding first mode result data is acquired, and the address information is stored in the first mode result address storage area of the RAM 64 in step S510. Thereafter, in step S511, after storing the implicit probability change flag in the implicit probability change flag storage area in each flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64, the stop result setting process is terminated.

  Returning to the description of the variation start process (FIG. 13), after executing the process of step S407, the process proceeds to step S411. On the other hand, if the game result assigned in step S405 is not the probability variation jackpot result, a negative determination is made in step S406, and the process proceeds to step S408. In step S408, the address information of the first mode result data corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is acquired by referring to the first mode result table for normal jackpot already described. The address information is stored in the first mode result address storage area of the RAM 64. Thereafter, in step S409, the normal jackpot flag is stored in the normal jackpot flag storage area in each flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64, and then the stop result setting process is terminated. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S411.

  If the result of the lottery in step S402 or step S403 is not a big win, a negative determination is made in step S404 and the process proceeds to step S410. In step S410, an outage stop result setting process is executed to set which of the first mode results is displayed on the result display unit 33a in the current game round that results in an outage, and to end the variable display. To do.

  The stop result setting process for detachment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S601, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is confirmed, and the confirmed result is stored in the RAM 64.

  In a succeeding step S602, it is determined whether or not the result of the current lottery is a special outage result. Specifically, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE is confirmed, and if it is a value corresponding to the special loss result, the game in the case of the special loss result in steps S603 to S605. A process for setting a result, a process for setting a stop result, and the like are executed.

  In step S603, the address information of the stop result data corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is acquired with reference to the special mode result table for special losing already described, and step S604. The address information is stored in the first mode result address storage area of the RAM 64. Thereafter, in step S605, after the special out flag is stored in the special out flag storage area in each flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64, the stop result setting process is terminated.

  When a negative determination is made in step S602, in step S606, referring to the first outlook result table for normal losing already described, it corresponds to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE. The address information of the first mode result data is acquired, and the address information is stored in the first mode result address storage area of the RAM 64 in step S607. Thereafter, the stop result setting process is terminated.

  Returning to the description of the variation start process (FIG. 13), after executing the processes of step S407, step S409 and step S410, the process proceeds to step S411. In step S411, the variable display time setting process for setting the variable display time of the current game time in the result display unit 33a is executed.

  The variable display time setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S701, the value of the variation type counter CS is acquired and stored in the register of the MPU 62. In the subsequent step S702, it is determined whether or not a reach display is generated in the symbol display device 31 in the current game round. Specifically, it is determined whether or not any one of the implicit probability variation flag, the implicit probability variation flag, the explicit probability variation flag, the normal jackpot flag, and the special loss flag is stored in the RAM 64. If any flag is stored, an affirmative determination is made in step S702 as the occurrence of reach display. Even if none of the above flags is stored, if the value of the reach random number counter C3 stored in the execution area AE is a value corresponding to the occurrence of reach, the occurrence of reach display is generated. As a result, an affirmative determination is made in step S702.

  If a positive determination is made in step S702, the process proceeds to step S703. In step S703, it is determined whether the game result of the current game round is an implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or a special loss result. When either the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or the special outlier result is obtained, the current variation is referred to by referring to the first variation display time table stored in the variation display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 in step S704. Fluctuating display time information corresponding to the value of the type counter CS is acquired.

  Here, as described above, in the case of a special outage result in the normal gaming state and in the case of an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, the behavior of the variable winning device 22 and the behavior of the electric accessory 24a of the lower operating port 24 The behavior of each movable object is common, and only the internal lottery state is different. In this case, in both cases of a special outlier result and an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, a reach display will occur in the symbol variation display on the symbol display device 31, and further, the fluctuation of the game number By referring to the common variation display time table when determining the display time, the variation display time of the pattern in the result display unit and the symbol display device 31 becomes common.

  On the other hand, if the game result of the current game round is neither an implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or a special outage result, a negative determination is made in step S703, and the process proceeds to step S705. In step S705, it is determined whether the game result of the current game round is either a normal jackpot result or an implicit probability variable jackpot result. If the result is either the normal jackpot result or the unspecified probability variation jackpot result, the current variation type is referred to by referring to the second variation display time table stored in the variation display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 in step S706. Fluctuating display time information corresponding to the value of the counter CS is acquired.

  Here, as described above, when a normal jackpot result is obtained and when an unspecified certainty jackpot result is obtained under a normal gaming state, the behavior of the variable winning device 22 and the behavior of the electric accessory 24a of the lower operating port 24 are The behavior of each movable object is common, and only the internal lottery state is different. In this case, in both cases where the normal jackpot result and the uncertain probability variation jackpot result, the reach display occurs in the symbol variation display on the symbol display device 31, and furthermore, the variation display time of the game times. By referring to the common variation display time table at the time of determination, the variation display time of the pattern in the result display unit and the symbol display device 31 becomes common.

  On the other hand, when the game result of the current game round is neither the normal jackpot result nor the unspecified probability change jackpot result, other variable display times stored in the variable display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 in step S707. With reference to the table, change display time information corresponding to the value of the change type counter CS at this time is acquired.

  If a negative determination is made in step S702, the process proceeds to step S708. In step S708, the number of reserved memories is grasped. In a succeeding step S709, it is determined whether or not the high-frequency support mode is set. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the high frequency support flag is stored in the high frequency support flag storage area in each flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64. The high-frequency support flag is stored or deleted when the open / close execution mode is ended in the gaming state transition process described later.

  If the high frequency support flag is not stored, in step S710, the fluctuation display time table for low frequency support stored in the fluctuation display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 is referred to, and the current fluctuation is stored. Fluctuating display time information corresponding to the value of the type counter CS and the number of reserved storage numbers is acquired. Note that the variable display time is set to be shorter as the number of reserved storage numbers is larger.

  On the other hand, if the high frequency support flag is stored, in step S711, the high frequency support time variable display time table stored in the variable display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 is referred to this time. Fluctuation display time information corresponding to the value of the fluctuation type counter CS and the number of reserved storages is acquired. Note that the variable display time is set to be shorter as the number of reserved storage numbers is larger.

  As described above, when reach display does not occur, a special outage result is obtained under normal gaming conditions by changing the variable display time table to be referenced depending on whether or not it is in the high frequency support mode. When the result is an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, the pattern display time on the result display unit 33a and the symbol display device 31 in the subsequent game times is the same.

  The first variation display time table, the second variation display time table, other variation display time tables, the variation display time table for low frequency support, and the variation display time table for high frequency support include a variation type counter. The change display time and the high speed change time are set corresponding to the value of CS. In the symbol display device 31, the display of all symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is switched at a predetermined time between high-speed variation display and low-speed variation display when symbol variation display is started. Here, the time for switching from the high-speed fluctuation display to the low-speed fluctuation display differs depending on the symbol sequence, and the display is switched to the low-speed variation display in the order of the upper symbol row Z1, the lower symbol row Z3, and the middle symbol row Z2. When the low speed fluctuation display is completed in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the final stop result is displayed. Each fluctuation display time table stores the time from the start of the high-speed fluctuation display of the middle symbol row Z2 in the symbol display device 31 to the switching to the low-speed fluctuation display as the high-speed fluctuation time.

  After execution of step S704, step S706, step S707, step S710, and step S711, the variable display time information and the high-speed variable time information that are information obtained by referring to any of the variable display time tables in step S712. Is set in the variable display time counter area of the RAM 64. Thereafter, the setting process ends.

  Returning to the description of the variation start process (FIG. 13), after step S411, a variation start command is set in step S412. The change start command includes information on presence / absence of reach and information on change display time.

  In subsequent step S413, a type command setting process for setting a type command corresponding to the current lottery result is executed. The type command includes game result information. In other words, in the type command, information on the game result includes information on the explicit probability change jackpot result, information on the normal jackpot result, information on the implicit probability change jackpot result, information on the explicit 2R probability change jackpot result, information on the special outage result, etc. included.

  The type command setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S801, it is determined whether or not the current lottery result corresponds to a normal loss or a special loss.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S801, it is determined in step S802 whether the value of the big hit type counter C2 corresponds to “47 to 142, 167 to 238”.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S802, a type command corresponding to character notification is set in step S803. The character notification is a notification executed by the symbol display device 31, and the display of the first display segment A1 to the seventh display segment A7 corresponds to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result and the implicit probability variation jackpot result. It notifies that it is the same content. Specifically, a character image is displayed on the symbol display device 31, and a message based on the character image is displayed on the symbol display device 31. For example, the message “The same symbol as the latent probability variation symbol is displayed in 7 segments. Please memorize symbol information using the input button in the lower left.” Is displayed as characters. Thus, the player can recognize that the symbol displayed on the result display unit 33a is information of a display mode corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result, and the pattern input unit 121 It is possible to recognize that it is the timing at which the information of the input pattern input to can be stored. In addition, the type command corresponding to the character notification includes information indicating whether the current game round corresponds to normal loss or special loss.

  In subsequent step S804, the character notification flag provided in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64 is set. The character notification flag is a flag indicating that the effect for game times corresponding to the current lottery result corresponds to the character notification, and is cleared when the variable display time has elapsed.

  If a negative determination is made in step S802, a type command not corresponding to character notification is set in step S805. In addition, the type command not corresponding to character notification includes information indicating whether the current game time corresponds to normal outage or special outage, similar to the type command corresponding to character information.

  If a negative determination is made in step S801, a type command corresponding to the jackpot type is set in step S806. The type command corresponding to the jackpot type includes information indicating whether the current game time corresponds to a normal jackpot, an explicit probability variable jackpot, a 2R implicit probability variable jackpot or an implicit probability variable jackpot.

  After executing step S804, step S805, or step S806, the type command setting process is terminated.

  The variation start command and the type command set in step S412 or step S413 are transmitted to the sound lamp control device 90 in step S201 in the normal process (FIG. 11). The sound lamp control device 90 determines the contents of the effect at the game time based on the received variation start command and type command, and controls various devices so that the determined contents of the effect are executed. The contents of this effect include the variable display mode of the symbol on the symbol display device 31. The determined variable display mode of the symbol is output from the voice lamp control device 90 to the display control device 100 as a display content command. Is done. In the display control device 100, based on the display content command received from the sound lamp control device 90, the symbol display device 31 is display-controlled so that the symbol variation display corresponding to each game time is performed.

  The content of the effect executed in the symbol display device 31 differs depending on the content of the type command, and the effect corresponding to the explicit probability change jackpot result and the implicit probability change jackpot result is set differently. The effects corresponding to the probable jackpot result and the normal jackpot result are set to be substantially the same. In addition, substantially the same effects are set for the effects corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result and the special loss result.

  In the result display section 33a, the previous lottery result is continuously displayed until a new change is started, and the jackpot winning result is continuously displayed even during the jackpot.

  Returning to the description of the variation start process (FIG. 13), after step S413, the result display unit 33a starts symbol variation display in step S414. Then, this variation start process is terminated.

  Returning to the description of the game times control process (FIG. 12), when the result display unit 33a is in a variable display, the game times progress process of steps S307 to S310 is executed. In the process for advancing game times, first, in step S307, it is determined whether or not the current game time fluctuation display time has elapsed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the value of the variable display time information stored in the variable display time counter area of the RAM 64 is “0”. The value of the variable display time information is set in the variable display time setting process (FIG. 18) as described above. The set value of the variable display time information is decremented by 1 every time the timer interrupt process (FIG. 10) is started.

  If the variable display time has not elapsed, the variable display process is executed in step S308. In the variable display process, display control is performed on the result display unit (light emission control of each display segment) so that each display segment is turned on and off in a predetermined order in the result display unit according to the current game round. . As for the result display section 33a, for example, the first display segment A1 → the second display segment A2 →... → the eighth display segment A8 → the ninth display segment A9 → the first display segment A1 → The display segments A1 to A9 will blink in the order of. Thereafter, the game times control process is terminated.

  In a succeeding step S309, it is determined whether or not the high speed fluctuation time has elapsed. The high-speed fluctuation time is a game-playing effect executed by the symbol display device 31. All symbols Z1 to Z3 are displayed in a variable manner, and the upper symbol row Z1, the middle symbol row Z2, and the lower symbol row Z3 are slow. This is the time until the display becomes variable.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S309, the pattern input permission flag is cleared in step S310. When a negative determination is made in step S309 or after execution of step S310, the game turn control process is terminated.

  If the change display time has elapsed in step S307, change end processing is executed in step S311. Here, the variation end process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S901, the address information stored in the first mode result address storage area of the RAM 64 is confirmed.

  In subsequent step S902, the information on the display segment to be turned on in display segments A1 to A7 stored in the content of the result display in the stop result data is confirmed. Further, the information of the confirmed display segments A1 to A7 is temporarily stored in the RAM 64.

  In subsequent step S903, it is determined whether or not the current lottery result corresponds to the jackpot. Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the normal jackpot flag, explicit probability variation flag, implicit 2R probability variation flag, or implicit probability variation flag is set. If an affirmative determination is made in step S903, it is determined in step S904 whether or not the lottery result corresponds to an implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the implicit 2R probability variation flag is set.

  If a negative determination is made in step S904, the display mode information of the display segments A1 to A7 confirmed in step S902 is changed to the first mode information, the eighth display segment A8, and the ninth display in step S905. The stop result is displayed on the result display unit 33a with the information on the mode in which the segment A9 is turned on as the information on the second mode.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S904, the display mode information of the display segments A1 to A7 confirmed in step S902 is turned on in the first mode information and the ninth display segment A9 is turned on in step S902. The result display unit 33a displays the stop result as information on the mode in which the 8-display segment A8 is not turned on.

  As described above, the first mode results of the first display segment A1 to the seventh display segment A7 are the same for the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot and the implicit probability variation jackpot. The result display section 33a displays the lottery result by setting the stop display result that the eighth display segment A8 is caused to emit light in the case of the implicit 2R probability variation big hit and the eighth display segment A8 is not emitted in the case of the implicit 2R probability variation big hit. Discrimination is possible.

  If a negative determination is made in step S903, the display mode information of the display segments A1 to A7 confirmed in step S902 is changed to the first mode information, the eighth display segment A8 and the ninth display mode in step S907. The result display unit 33a displays the result of the stop as information on the mode in which the segment A9 is not turned on.

  Further, the first display result has a common aspect in the case where the lottery result is a big win and the case where it is out of place, but the eighth display segment A8 and the ninth display segment A9 are the second stop result. In the case of the big hit, at least the ninth display segment A9 emits light, and when it is off, both segments do not emit light, so that the lottery result can be determined in the result display section 33a.

  After the execution of step S905, step S906, and step S907, the variation end process is terminated.

  In the game times control process (FIG. 12), after executing the change end process, a change end command is set in step S312. The change end command set in step S312 is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 90 in step S201 in the normal process (FIG. 11). The sound lamp control device 90 ends the effect in the game round based on the received variation end command. Further, the change end command is transmitted from the sound lamp control device 90 to the display control device 100, and the display control device 100 receives the change end command, thereby confirming and displaying the combination of the final stop symbols in the game round ( Final stop display).

  In a succeeding step S313, it is determined whether or not the character notification flag is set. If an affirmative determination is made in step S313, the pattern input permission flag provided in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64 is set in step S314. The pattern input permission flag is a flag indicating whether or not an input to the pattern input unit 121 is accepted, and is cleared after the high-speed variation display of the symbol in the next game round.

  In subsequent step S315, the character notification flag is cleared.

  When a negative determination is made in step S313 or after the end of step S315, the search permission flag is set in step S316 and the game number control process is ended.

<Game state transition processing>
Next, the gaming state transition processing in step S205 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  First, in step S1001, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing execution mode is in effect. If it is not in the opening / closing execution mode, the process proceeds to step S1002, and it is determined whether or not it is the timing when the variation display of the pattern in the result display section 33a of one game time is finished. If it is not the timing when the variable display is finished, the gaming state transition process is finished as it is.

  If it is the timing when the variable display is finished, it is determined in step S1003 whether or not the game result of the current game time corresponds to the transition to the opening / closing execution mode. Specifically, it is determined whether or not any one of the implicit 2R probability variation flag, the implicit probability variation flag, the explicit probability variation flag, the normal jackpot flag, or the special loss flag is stored in the RAM 64. If none of the above flags is stored, the gaming state transition process is terminated as it is.

  If any of the above flags is stored, an opening / closing execution mode start process is executed in step S1004. In the start process, an opening waiting time (starting waiting period) is set for waiting without opening the large winning opening 22a of the variable winning device 22 for opening in the opening / closing execution mode. Specifically, the waiting time information for opening stored in advance in the ROM 63 is set in the waiting time counter area provided in the various counter areas 64 d of the RAM 64. In this case, the waiting time information that is set differs depending on whether the opening / closing execution mode is the high-frequency winning mode, and the waiting time information indicates that the waiting time information is lower in the low-frequency winning mode than in the high-frequency winning mode. It is set to be shorter. For example, in the high frequency winning mode, the count value of the standby time information is set so that the standby time is 1 sec. In the low frequency winning mode, the count value of the standby time information is set so that the standby time is 0.2 sec. Is set. The value of the waiting time information set here is decremented by 1 every time the timer interrupt process (FIG. 10) is executed.

  In a succeeding step S1005, it is determined whether or not the current opening / closing execution mode is the high-frequency winning mode. Specifically, it is determined whether or not any of the explicit probability change flag, the normal jackpot flag, or the implicit probability change flag is stored in the RAM 64. If it is not the high-frequency winning mode, that is, if it is the low-frequency winning mode, “2” is set in the round counter area RC provided in the various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64 in step S1006. The round counter area RC is a counter area for counting the number of times the special winning opening 22a is opened.

  On the other hand, if it is the high-frequency winning mode, it is determined in step S1007 whether or not the current lottery mode is the high probability mode. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the high probability mode flag is stored in the RAM 64. If a negative determination is made in step S1007, “8” is set in the round counter area RC in step S1008. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1007, “16” is set in the round counter area RC in step S1009.

  After executing the process of step S1006, step S1008 or step S1009, in step S1010, a round display start process for informing the type of the current opening / closing execution mode is executed. In the round display start process, the content of the number of rounds corresponding to the value set in the round counter area RC in step S1006, step S1008, or step S1009 is confirmed. Then, the content of the confirmed number of rounds is output to the round display part 33b. As a result, the round display section 33b displays the round information related to the output.

  In step S1011, an opening command is set. The set opening command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 90 in step S201 in the normal process (FIG. 11). This opening command includes information indicating whether the high-frequency winning mode or the low-frequency winning mode is set. The sound lamp control device 90 determines the contents of the effect corresponding to the opening / closing execution mode based on the received opening command, and controls various devices so that the determined contents of the effect are executed. The contents of this effect include the display mode in the symbol display device 31, and the determined display mode is output from the sound lamp control device 90 to the display control device 100 as a display content command. Based on the display content command received from the sound lamp control device 90, the display control device 100 controls the display of the symbol display device 31 so that display corresponding to the current opening / closing execution mode (for example, moving image display) is performed.

  In subsequent step S1012, after executing the external signal setting process, the gaming state transition process is terminated. In the external signal setting process, it is determined whether or not any of the implicit 2R probability variation flag, the implicit probability variation flag, the explicit probability variation flag, or the normal jackpot flag is stored in the RAM 64, and one of the flags is stored. In this case, a signal corresponding to the jackpot is transmitted to the management control device on the game hall side, so that it is possible to grasp that the jackpot has occurred in the pachinko machine 10 in the management control device.

  Further, in the external signal setting process, it is determined whether any one of the implicit 2R probability variation flag, the implicit probability variation flag, the explicit probability variation flag, the normal jackpot flag, or the special loss flag is stored in the RAM 64. When the flag is stored, a signal corresponding to the jackpot and special loss is transmitted to the management control device on the game hall side, and the opening / closing execution mode has occurred in the pachinko machine 10 in the management control device. Can be grasped.

  On the other hand, if it is not in the opening / closing execution mode, an affirmative determination is made in step S1001, and the process proceeds to step S1013. In step S1013, it is determined whether or not the opening standby time has elapsed. If the opening standby time has not elapsed, the gaming state transition process is terminated. When the waiting time for the opening has elapsed, in step S1014, a special winning opening / closing process is executed. Here, the special winning opening opening / closing process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S1101, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 22a is being opened. Specifically, this determination is performed based on the driving state of the variable prize driving unit 22c. If the big winning opening 22a is not being opened, it is determined in step S1102 whether the value of the round counter area RC is “0”, and whether the value of the timer area T is “0” in step S1103. Determine.

  When the value of the round counter area RC is “0” or when the value of the timer area T is not “0”, the big prize winning opening / closing process is finished as it is. On the other hand, if the value of the round counter area RC is not “0” and the value of the timer area T is “0”, the process proceeds to step S1104, and the variable prize driving unit 22c is driven to open the big prize opening 22a. State.

  In subsequent step S1105, setting processing for each round is executed. The setting process for each round will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S1201, it is determined whether or not the high-frequency winning mode is set. In the case of the high-frequency winning mode, “7500” (that is, 30 sec) is set in the timer area T provided in the various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64 in order to measure the opening / closing timing for opening / closing the large winning opening 22a in step S1202. ) Is set. The count value set here is decremented by 1 every time the timer interrupt process (FIG. 13) is started, that is, at a cycle of 4 msec. In subsequent step S1203, “10” is set in the winning counter area PC provided in the various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64 in order to count the number of winning game balls to the big winning opening 22a. Thereafter, the setting process ends.

  If it is not the high-frequency winning mode, that is, if it is the low-frequency winning mode, “50” (that is, 0.2 sec) is set in the timer area T in step S1204.

  In a succeeding step S1205, it is determined whether or not the special out flag is set and the value of the round counter area RC is “1”. If a negative determination is made in step S1205, “6” is set in the winning counter area PC in step S1206. After the execution of step S1206 or when an affirmative determination is made in step S1205, this setting process ends.

  After executing the setting process for each round in the big prize opening / closing process (FIG. 22), an opening command is set in step S1106, and the big prize opening / closing process is ended. The set release command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 90 in step S201 in the normal process (FIG. 11). This release command includes information indicating whether the high-frequency winning mode or the low-frequency winning mode is set. Based on the received release command, the sound lamp control device 90 determines the contents of the effect corresponding to the high-frequency winning mode, and controls various devices so that the determined contents of the effect are executed.

  If it is determined in step S1101 that the special winning opening is open, the process advances to step S1107 to determine whether or not the value of the timer area T is “0”. If the value of the timer area T is not “0”, it is determined in step S1108 whether or not a game ball has won the big winning opening 22a based on the detection state of the detection sensor corresponding to the variable winning device 22. If no winning has occurred, the main prize winning opening / closing process is terminated. On the other hand, if a winning has occurred, the value of the winning counter area PC is decremented by 1 in step S1109, and then it is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter area PC is “0” in step S1110. If it is not “0”, the main prize winning opening / closing process is terminated.

  If the value of the winning counter area PC is “0” in step S1110, it means that the special winning opening closing condition is established. In such a case, in step S1111, it is determined whether or not a special out flag is stored in the RAM 64. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1111, “1” is stored in the round counter area RC in step S1112.

  If the value of the timer area T is “0” in step S1107, if a negative determination is made in step S1111 or after execution of step S1112, the variable prize driving unit 22c is closed in step S1113 to close the big prize opening 22a. Is not driven.

  In subsequent step S1114, the value of the round counter area RC is decremented by one.

  In a succeeding step S1115, it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter area RC is “0”. If the value of the round counter area RC is not “0”, it is determined in step S1116 whether or not the high-frequency winning mode is set.

  If it is the high-frequency winning mode, “500” (that is, 2 sec) is set in the timer area T in step S1117, and if it is the low-frequency winning mode, “50” is set in the timer area T in step S1118. (Ie 0.2 sec) is set. That is, in the low frequency winning mode, the time during which the large winning opening 22a is closed between rounds is set shorter than in the high frequency winning mode. Thereafter, a closing command is set in step S1119, and the main prize winning opening / closing process is terminated. The set closing command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 90 in step S201 in the normal process (FIG. 11). This closing command includes information indicating whether the high-frequency winning mode or the low-frequency winning mode is set. Based on the received closing command, the sound lamp control device 90 determines the content of the effect corresponding to the high-frequency winning mode, and controls various devices so that the determined content of the effect is executed.

  If it is determined in step S1115 that the value of the round counter area RC is “0”, an ending start process is executed in step S1120. In the start process, an ending waiting time for waiting without starting the next game round is set for the ending in the opening / closing execution mode. Specifically, ending waiting time information stored in advance in the ROM 63 is set in a waiting time counter area provided in various counter areas 64 d of the RAM 64. In this case, the waiting time information that is set differs depending on whether the opening / closing execution mode is the high-frequency winning mode, and the waiting time information indicates that the waiting time information is lower in the low-frequency winning mode than in the high-frequency winning mode. It is set to be shorter. For example, in the high frequency winning mode, the count value of the standby time information is set so that the standby time is 1 sec. In the low frequency winning mode, the count value of the standby time information is set so that the standby time is 0.2 sec. Is set. The value of the waiting time information set here is decremented by 1 every time the timer interrupt process (FIG. 10) is executed.

  Thereafter, after setting an ending command in step S1121, the main prize winning opening / closing process is terminated. The set ending command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 90 in step S201 in the normal process (FIG. 11). This ending command includes information indicating whether the high-frequency winning mode or the low-frequency winning mode is set. The sound lamp control device 90 determines the contents of the effect corresponding to the opening / closing execution mode based on the received ending command, and controls various devices so that the determined contents of the effect are executed. The contents of this effect include the display mode in the symbol display device 31, and the determined display mode is output from the sound lamp control device 90 to the display control device 100 as a display content command. Based on the display content command received from the sound lamp control device 90, the display control device 100 controls the display of the symbol display device 31 so that display corresponding to the current opening / closing execution mode (for example, moving image display) is performed.

  Returning to the description of the game state transition process (FIG. 21), after executing the big prize opening / closing process in step S1014, it is determined in step S1015 whether or not the value of the round counter area RC is “0”. In step S1016, it is determined whether the ending standby time has elapsed. If the value of the round counter area RC is not “0” or if the ending waiting time has not elapsed, the gaming state transition process is terminated as it is.

  On the other hand, if the value of the round counter area RC is “0” and the waiting time for ending has elapsed, a transition process at the end of the opening / closing execution mode is executed in step S1017. Here, the transition process at the end of the opening / closing execution mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S1301, it is determined whether or not the implicit probability change flag or the implicit 2R probability change flag is stored in the RAM 64. If any one of the flags is stored, in step S1302, the high probability mode flag is stored, and then the transition process is terminated. As a result, the gaming state shifts to a gaming state in which the winning / failing lottery mode is the high probability mode. The support mode is not changed, and when the mode is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode, the support mode of the game times that results in the implicit probability change jackpot result or the implicit 2R probability change jackpot result is maintained after the opening / closing execution mode ends.

  If it is determined in step S1301 that neither the implicit probability change flag nor the implicit 2R probability change flag is stored, it is determined in step S1303 whether the explicit probability change flag is stored. If the explicit probability change flag is stored, the high probability mode flag is stored in step S1304, and the high frequency support flag is stored in step S1305. As a result, the gaming state shifts to a gaming state in which the success / failure lottery mode is the high probability mode and the support mode is the high frequency support mode.

  If it is determined in step S1303 that the explicit probability change flag is not stored, it is determined in step S1306 whether the normal jackpot flag is stored. If the normal jackpot flag is stored, the high-frequency support mode flag is stored in step S1307, and the high-frequency support flag is erased in step S1308. As a result, the gaming state shifts to a gaming state in which the success / failure lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the high frequency support mode.

  If it is determined in step S1306 that the normal jackpot flag is not stored, the migration processing is terminated as it is. In other words, when the result is a special losing result and the mode is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode, the gaming state of the game times resulting in the special losing result is maintained after the opening / closing execution mode ends.

  Returning to the description of the game state transition process (FIG. 21), after the transition process at the end of the opening / closing execution mode in step S1017 is terminated, a round display termination process is performed in step S1018. In this process, the display control of the round display unit 33b is terminated so that the round display unit 33b is turned off. That is, the round display in the round display unit 33b is started when the opening / closing execution mode is started, and is ended when the opening / closing execution mode is ended. In this case, when the opening / closing execution mode is the low-frequency winning mode, the number of times of opening / closing the large winning opening 22a is smaller and the opening time and closing time of the large winning opening 22a are set shorter than in the high-frequency winning mode. . Therefore, the period during which the content of the number of rounds is displayed on the round display portion 33b is shorter than that in the high-frequency winning mode. Furthermore, the result display that is stopped and displayed on the result display unit 33a is started when the game time is finished, and is continued until the next game time is started. Therefore, when shifting to the opening / closing execution mode, the display of the result is started before the content of the number of rounds is displayed on the round display unit 33b and until the display of the content of the number of rounds is finished. Will continue. That is, the result display is maintained for a longer period than the display of the content of the number of rounds.

  Thereafter, in step S1019, after executing the opening / closing execution mode end processing, the gaming state transition processing ends. In the opening / closing execution mode end processing, if an opening / closing execution mode flag, an implicit 2R probability change flag, an implicit probability change flag, an explicit probability change flag, a normal jackpot flag, and a special out flag are stored, they are deleted, If it is not already stored, that state is maintained.

<Pattern input processing>
Next, the pattern input process of step S106 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S1401, it is determined whether or not the input of each input button B1 to B7 is detected. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a signal corresponding to a state in which any of the input buttons B1 to B7 is pressed is input to the input port of the MPU 62.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1401, 1 is added to the input counter provided in the RAM 64 in step S1402.

  In a succeeding step S1403, it is determined whether or not the value of the input counter is 250. That is, it is determined whether any of the input buttons B1 to B7 is continuously input for 1 second.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S1403, the information in the input information storage area 64f corresponding to the button input in step S1404 is inverted.

  As described above, the input information storage area 64f is a storage area for storing the input states of the input buttons B1 to B7. The input information storage area 64f is provided with a plurality of unit areas (hereinafter also referred to as unit areas for input states) corresponding to the input buttons B1 to B7, and each unit area has a storage capacity of 1 bit. I have.

  When the value stored in the unit area for the input state is “0”, it indicates that the input state of the input button corresponding to the unit area is the non-input state, and the unit area for the input state When the value stored in “1” is “1”, it indicates that the input state of the input button corresponding to the unit area is the input state.

  In step S1404, if the information in the input information storage area 64f corresponding to the input button is in the input state, the information is updated to the information corresponding to the non-input state. If the information is not input, the information corresponding to the input state is updated. Update. Specifically, the value stored in each unit area of the input information storage area 64f is inverted by the logic inversion circuit.

  In the subsequent step S1405, the light emission processing corresponding to the contents of the input information storage area 64f is executed, the LEDs of the input buttons B1 to B7 corresponding to the input state are turned on, and the input buttons B1 to B1 corresponding to the non-input state are turned on. The B7 LED is turned off.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1401 or after execution of step S1405, the input counter is cleared to “0” in step S1406.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1403 or after execution of step S1406, it is determined whether a pattern input permission flag is stored in step S1407. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1407, it is determined in step S1408 whether or not the input of the storage button 123 is detected. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a signal corresponding to a state where the storage button 123 is pressed is input to the input port of the MPU 62.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S1408, it is determined whether or not the same information as the information stored in the input information storage area 64f is stored in the pattern storage area 64g in step S1409.

  As described above, the pattern storage area 64g is provided with 20 unit areas for storing input patterns (hereinafter also referred to as unit areas for input patterns). The unit area for the input pattern can store the input states of the input buttons B1 to B7, and has a 7-bit storage capacity corresponding to each of the input buttons B1 to B7. In the unit area for the input pattern, the value of the bit corresponding to each of the input buttons B1 to B7 indicates the same input state as the value of the bit in the unit area for the input state, and “0” is in the non-input state. “1” corresponds to the input state.

  The unit areas for input patterns are provided with a first unit area to a twentieth unit area, and input patterns are input in order from the first unit area. When an input pattern is input up to the twentieth unit area, a new input pattern cannot be added.

  In step S1409, by comparing the information stored in all unit areas of the input information storage area 64f with the information stored in each unit area of the pattern storage area 64g, it is determined whether or not both pieces of information are the same. Judgment is made. Specifically, the 7-bit information stored in the unit area for the input state and the 7-bit information stored for each unit area for the input pattern are associated with the input buttons B1 to B7, respectively. Compare. Of these two pieces of information, the bits corresponding to the same input buttons B1 to B7 are calculated by the exclusive OR circuit. Then, it is determined whether or not the calculation results for all 7 bits are all “0”. If all the calculation results are “0”, it is determined that the same information as the information stored in the input information storage area 64f is stored in the pattern storage area 64g.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1409, storage pattern addition processing is executed in step S1410, and the information stored in the input information storage area 64f is added to the empty area of the pattern storage area 64g. When all the unit areas of the input information storage area 64f correspond to the non-input state, the contents of the input information storage area 64f are not stored.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S1409 or after execution of step S1410, the input contents corresponding to the input buttons B1 to B7 are all hidden by clearing the storage contents of the input information storage area 64f in step S1411. The player enters the input state and waits for a new input from the player.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1407, a negative determination is made in step S1408, or after execution of step S1411, it is determined in step S1412 whether a search permission flag is stored in the RAM 64.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1412, initialization processing for search is executed in step S1413. The search initialization process includes a search information setting process and a comparison target information setting process.

  In the search target information setting process, the input information stored in the input information storage area 64f is stored in the RAM 64 as the search target information. Specifically, 7-bit information obtained by collecting information stored in unit areas for seven input states is set as search target information.

  In the comparison target information setting process, the information stored in the pattern storage area 64g is set as the comparison target information. Specifically, 7-bit information stored for each unit area for the input pattern is set as comparison target information.

  In the subsequent step S1414, bits corresponding to the same input buttons B1 to B7 in the search target information and the comparison target information at the timing when the search permission flag is stored are calculated by the AND circuit.

  In the subsequent step S1415, it is determined whether or not the calculation result in step S1414 matches the search target information. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1415, it is determined that the current comparison target information is information including search target information, and the process proceeds to step S1416.

  In step S1416, the RAM 64 stores which information includes information to be searched among the 20 input pattern unit areas.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1415 or after execution of step S1416, it is determined in step S1417 whether other information to be compared is stored in the pattern storage area 64g. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1417, the processes in steps S1414 to S1417 are repeatedly executed.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1412, it is determined in step S1419 that the information stored in all 20 input pattern unit areas is information including search target information, and the result is stored in the RAM 64. .

  When a negative determination is made in step S1417, or after execution of step S1419, search result display processing is executed in step S1418. In the processing for displaying the search result, information including the search target information among the information stored in the unit area for the input pattern based on the information stored in the RAM 64 in steps S1416 and S1419 is displayed in the pattern display unit 122. Execute the process to be displayed. After execution of step S1418, the pattern input process ends.

  By storing the content of the input pattern in the input information storage area 64f in the pattern storage area 64g and displaying the stored content on the pattern display unit 122, the player does not remember the predetermined stop result of the result display unit 33a. It will be better. Thus, for example, if there is a stop result corresponding to the jackpot in the result display unit 33a that the player knows, it is input to the pattern input unit 121 and stored in the input information storage area 64f, thereby displaying the pattern. It becomes possible to compare the content displayed in the part 122 with the stop result for each lottery process in the result display part 33a.

  Further, when a search permission flag is stored, if a pattern is input to the pattern input unit 121 and information including a part of the input pattern is stored in the pattern storage area 64g, the input is performed. Only the information corresponding to the pattern is displayed. Thus, when information corresponding to a plurality of input patterns is displayed on the pattern display unit 122, the player determines whether input pattern information including a predetermined input pattern is stored among the plurality of information. Can be searched. This makes it possible to reduce time when searching for a pattern including a predetermined input pattern from among a plurality of input patterns.

<Demo display processing>
The demonstration display process will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S1501, it is determined whether the search permission flag is stored and the open / close execution mode flag is not stored. The case where it is in the above state means that the game-turning effect is not executed and is not in the opening / closing execution mode.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1501, it is determined in step S1502 whether or not a demo display state is set. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the demonstration display flag is set in the RAM 64.

  The demo display state means a state in which a demo display (that is, a standby display) has already been performed on the symbol display device 31, and is a state in which the demo display flag of the MPU 62 is stored. In addition, the demo display is a predetermined demo waiting time (for example, after the ending of the previous opening / closing execution mode is ended after displaying the stop result of the previous game times and ending the final opening / closing execution mode) When 0.1 sec) has elapsed, an image of a start waiting effect is displayed on the display screen of the symbol display device 31 and an effect corresponding to the effect is performed by the display lamp unit 54 and the speaker unit 55.

Incidentally, in the demonstration display in the symbol display device 31, an image in which the symbol displayed on the active line performs a predetermined operation is displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the symbol is a predetermined symbol. It may be configured such that a maker name, a model name, or a moving image with a predetermined character is displayed after or instead of displaying an image in which an operation is being performed.
If it is determined in step S1502 that the display is not in the demo display state, the demo display start counter is incremented by 1 in step S1503. The demonstration display start counter is a counter that measures a period after the occurrence of a situation in which a game-playing effect is not executed and is not in the opening / closing execution mode.

  In step S1504, it is determined whether or not the demo display start counter is “25”. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1504, a demo display start command is set as an output target in step S1505, and then a demo display flag is stored in step S1506.

  The demonstration start command is a command for recognizing that the audio lamp control device 90 has a timing for starting the demonstration display. When the demonstration start command is received, the audio lamp control device 90 executes a process for setting a production-type audio emission pattern corresponding to the demonstration start command. Specifically, a data table for performing an effect corresponding to the demonstration display through the display lamp unit 54 and the speaker unit 55 is read from the ROM of the sound lamp control device 90, and for demonstration display according to the read data table. The display lamp unit 54 and the speaker unit 55 perform this effect. In addition, the sound lamp control device 90 transmits an effect-type command corresponding to the demonstration start command to the display control device 100. The display control device 100 reads out a data table for performing demonstration display from the command through the symbol display device 31 from the command from the ROM of the display control device 100, and performs demonstration display effects according to the read data table. Is executed by the symbol display device 31.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1504 or after execution of step S1506, the demonstration display process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S1502 that the display is in the demo display state, 1 is added to the reset counter provided in the RAM 64 in step S1507. The reset counter is a counter that measures a period after the demonstration display state starts.

  In subsequent step S1508, it is determined whether or not the reset counter is “7500”. That is, it is determined whether or not 30 seconds have elapsed since the start of the demonstration display state. If a negative determination is made in step S1508, the demonstration display process is terminated as it is.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1508, the stored contents stored in all the unit areas of the pattern storage area 64g are cleared in step S1509, and the reset counter is cleared to “0” in step S1510. Since the reset counter is provided, the contents of the pattern storage area 64g are cleared when a predetermined period (30 seconds in this case) elapses after the player stops the game and shifts to the demo display state.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1501, the demonstration display start counter and reset counter are cleared to “0” in step S1511. After the demonstration display flag is erased in step S1512, the demonstration display process is terminated. To do.

<Variable display control processing>
Next, the variable display control process executed by the display control apparatus 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the variation display control process, when the variation start command transmitted from the main control device 60 is received, the symbol display device 31 starts the variation display of the symbols for one game and is transmitted from the main control device 60. When the change end command is received, a process for displaying the change display of the symbol at the final stop is executed. Further, in the variable display control process, a process for appropriately correcting the variable display pattern is executed in accordance with the setting for performing the hold notice.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 27, in step S1601, it is determined whether or not the symbol display for one game time is being displayed on the symbol display device 31. If the change display of symbols for one game is not performed, it is determined in step S1602 whether or not a change start command transmitted from the main control device 60 has been received. If the fluctuation start command has not been received, the fluctuation display control process is terminated as it is. If the change start command has been received, the change start control process is terminated after the change start process is executed in step S1603. In the variation start process, the lottery result is determined based on the received variation start command and type command, and the stop result and the variation display pattern in the symbol display device 31 are set. If the received command corresponds to character notification, an input notification flag indicating that the command corresponds to character notification is set. The input notification flag is provided in the RAM of the display control device 100.

  On the other hand, when the change display of the symbols for one game is performed, it is determined in step S1604 whether or not the change end command transmitted from the main control device 60 is received. If the change end command has not been received, if the input notification flag is stored in step S1605, the variation display control processing is terminated after executing the variation processing for executing the predetermined notification. . If the variation end command has been received, the variation display control process is executed after executing the variation end processing for causing the symbol display device 31 to execute the final stop display by outputting the final stop display command in step S1606. Exit.

  Hereinafter, the process for starting variation in step S1603 and the process for changing in step S1605 will be described in detail.

<Variation start processing>
First, the variation start process in step S1603 will be described. The variation start process is a process for starting the symbol variation display on the symbol display device 31 based on the reception of the variation start command transmitted from the main control device 60.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 28, in step S1701, the fluctuation start command received this time is read, and information on the presence / absence of reach and fluctuation display time information are specified from the command. Further, as described above, main controller 60 also transmits a type command when transmitting a change start command. Therefore, in step S1701, the type command received together with the variation start command received this time is read out, and information on the probability variation jackpot result, information on the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result, information on the implicit probability variation jackpot result, normal, Information on game results such as information on jackpot results, information on normal results, or information on special results is specified. In step S1701, from the above identified information, information on whether or not the jackpot is won, information on the type of jackpot if the jackpot is won, information on whether or not reach occurs if the jackpot is not won, and the variable display time The presence / absence of information and character notification is grasped, and the grasped information is stored in the register of the MPU 62.

  In subsequent step S1702, it is determined whether or not the command determined in step S1701 corresponds to the character notification. If it corresponds to character notification, an input notification flag provided in the RAM of the display control device 100 is set in step S1703.

  When a negative determination is made in step S1702 or after execution of step S1703, stop result setting processing is executed in step S1704.

  In the stop result setting processing, stop line determination processing, symbol combination determination processing, and stop information address information storage processing are executed. Here, as already described in the pachinko machine 10, when the five effective lines L1 to L5 are set on the display screen G of the symbol display device 31 and the explicit probability variation jackpot result or the normal jackpot result is obtained, The combination of jackpot symbols is stopped and displayed on any active line. In addition, when reach display is performed even when neither the explicit probability change jackpot result nor the normal jackpot result is achieved, the combination of reach symbols is stopped and displayed on one of the effective lines. In this case, in the stop line determination process, a process for determining an effective line for stopping and displaying the combination of the various symbols is executed. In the symbol combination determination process, the symbol combination information corresponding to the information grasped in step S1701 is specified with reference to the combination information table provided in the ROM of the display control apparatus 100. In addition, a stop information table is provided in the ROM of the display control apparatus 100. In the stop information table, information on the combination of each stop symbol with respect to the information on each active line is set in a one-to-one correspondence with the address information. In the storage process of the stop information address, address information corresponding to the specified stop line information and symbol combination information is read from the stop information table, and the read stop information address information is stored in the RAM of the display control device 100. Store.

  After the process of step S1704 is executed, a variable display pattern setting process is executed in step S1705. In the variable display pattern setting process, the variable display time information stored in the MPU register of the display control apparatus 100 in step S1701 with reference to the variable display pattern table provided in the ROM provided in the display control apparatus 100. And the information of the variable display pattern corresponding to both the information stored in the storage area of the stop information address in step S1704 is specified. The symbol display device 31 is driven so that the symbol display corresponding to the variation pattern is performed on the symbol display device 31 based on the specified variation display pattern information. After the variation display pattern setting process is executed in step S1705, the variation start process is terminated.

<Variation processing>
Next, the variable processing in step S1605 in the variable display control process (FIG. 27) will be described with reference to FIGS. The during-change process is a process for performing character notification after the high-speed change is completed during the change display of the symbol on the symbol display device 31 when the input notification flag is stored.

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the variable display control process, and FIG. 30 is a timing chart for explaining the notification timing of input notification generated during the variable display in the symbol display device 31 and the input timing to the input display unit 120. .

  In the changing process, as shown in FIG. 29, first, in step S1801, it is determined whether or not all the symbol sequences Z1 to Z3 have finished the high-speed fluctuation.

  Here, in this pachinko machine 10, when the symbol display is performed on the symbol display device 31, first, as shown in FIGS. 30A to 30C, the upper symbol row Z1, the middle symbol row Z2, and In all the symbol rows of the lower symbol row Z3, high-speed fluctuation display (or first speed display) is performed so that identification of each symbol displayed in the display screen is impossible or difficult in appearance. After that, when the period of T1 elapses from the start of the fluctuation, first, with respect to the upper symbol row Z1, the high speed is set so that each symbol displayed on the display screen in the upper symbol row Z1 can be easily identified in appearance. Switching from the fluctuation display to the low-speed fluctuation display (or the second speed display slower than the first speed display), and when the period T2 has elapsed from the start of the fluctuation, the fluctuation display in the upper symbol row Z1 is stopped. In addition, when the period of T2 has elapsed since the start of the fluctuation in this way, with respect to the lower symbol row Z3, identification of each symbol displayed on the display screen in the lower symbol row Z3 becomes easy in appearance. In this way, the high-speed fluctuation display is switched to the low-speed fluctuation display, and the fluctuation display in the lower symbol row Z3 is stopped when the period T3 has elapsed from the start of the fluctuation. In addition, when the period of T3 has elapsed since the start of the fluctuation in this way, in the middle symbol row Z2, it is easy to identify each symbol displayed in the display screen G in the middle symbol row Z2. Thus, the high-speed fluctuation display is switched to the low-speed fluctuation display. Then, when the period T4 has elapsed from the start of the fluctuation, the fluctuation display in the middle symbol row Z2 is stopped.

  In the above configuration, except for the case where predetermined reach display is performed, the period of T1, T2, T3, and T4 depends on each variable display pattern stored in the variable display pattern table, and more specifically each variable. The display pattern is determined in one-to-one correspondence. Then, the reach effect or the like is performed after the period T3 has elapsed and until the period T4 has elapsed.

  The MPU of the display control apparatus 100 measures the time from the start of the symbol variable display on the symbol display device 31 using an elapsed time counter area as an elapsed time measuring means provided in the RAM. Specifically, when the variable display is started, the elapsed time counter area addition process is executed at a predetermined cycle (for example, 4 msec). Further, in the elapsed time table of the elapsed time table storage area provided in the ROM 63 of the display control apparatus 100, information on each counter value corresponding to the above T1, T2, T3 can be set at the start of the game times. The pattern information is stored in a one-to-one correspondence.

  Returning to the description of the processing for fluctuation (FIG. 29), in step S1801, whether or not the current value stored in the elapsed time counter area is equal to or greater than the counter value corresponding to T3 in the elapsed time table storage area. It is determined whether or not all symbol sequences Z1 to Z3 have ended high-speed fluctuation.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1801, it is determined in step S1802 whether an input notification flag is stored. When an affirmative determination is made in step S1802, an input notification execution process is executed in step S1803, and in step S1804, the input notification flag is cleared.

  The input notification effect is performed by the symbol display device 31 in such a manner as to prompt the player to input and store the contents of the display result displayed on the result display unit 33a in the current game round into the input display unit 120. Executed. Here, the configuration in which the input notification effect execution process is performed after the end of the high-speed fluctuation is that it is impossible to determine whether or not the current game round executes the input notification effect immediately after the start of the symbol variation. This is to prevent the degree of attention to the effect executed by the symbol display device 31 from being lowered.

  When a negative determination is made in step S1802 or after execution of step S1804, the mid-variation process is terminated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 30, the notification timing of the input notification generated during the variable display in the symbol display device 31 and the input timing to the input display unit 120 will be described.

  First, at the timing t1, the symbol display device 31 starts the variation display of all symbol sequences Z1 to Z3 based on the variation start command and the type command transmitted from the main control device 60.

  Thereafter, at the timing of t2 to t4, the high-speed fluctuation display in the upper symbol row Z1 is finished when the time of T1 has passed, and the high-speed fluctuation display in the lower symbol row Z3 is finished when the time of T2 has passed, When the time T3 has elapsed, the high-speed fluctuation display in the middle symbol row Z2 ends. Each symbol row is switched to the low-speed fluctuation display after the high-speed fluctuation display ends.

  Further, at the timing from t3 to t5, the low-speed fluctuation display in the upper symbol row Z1 and the low-speed fluctuation display in the lower symbol row Z3 are sequentially finished. Each symbol row is stopped when the low-speed fluctuation display ends. Finally, when the time of T4 has elapsed, the low-speed fluctuation display in the middle symbol row Z2 ends, the symbol of the stop result in the current game round is finally stopped, and at the same time, the final stop result is displayed in the result display section 33a. .

  Further, at the timing of t4, the input notification is executed by the symbol display device 31 based on the fact that the display control device 100 has received the type command corresponding to the character notification from the main control device 60. At the timing of t5, the effect on the input notification is finished, the pattern input permission flag is set, and the input to the pattern input unit 121 is permitted.

  Further, by setting the search permission flag, the player can input the content of the stop result displayed on the result display unit 33a to the pattern input unit 121, and the input content is already stored in the pattern storage area 64g. It is possible to determine whether or not it is stored in the memory.

  Thereafter, at the timing of t6, when the next game round starts, the search permission flag is erased, and the symbol display device 31 starts variable display of all symbol rows Z1 to Z3.

  Thereafter, at the timing of t7, the high-speed fluctuation display in the upper symbol row Z1 ends, and the display is switched to the low-speed fluctuation display.

  Thereafter, at the timing of t8, the high-speed fluctuation display in the lower symbol row Z3 is finished, and the display is switched to the low-speed fluctuation display. Further, the low-speed fluctuation display in the upper symbol row Z1 ends, and the fluctuation display of the symbol in the upper symbol row Z1 is stopped.

  Thereafter, at the timing of t9, the high-speed fluctuation display in the middle symbol row Z2 ends, and the display is switched to the low-speed fluctuation display. In the lower symbol row Z3, the low-speed fluctuation display ends, and the symbol fluctuation display in the lower symbol row Z3 is stopped. Moreover, even if the memory button 123 is pressed after the input to the pattern input unit 121, the input becomes invalid because the pattern input permission flag is cleared based on the completion of the high-speed fluctuation display in all the symbols Z1 to Z3. . The pattern input permission flag is configured to continue to be set when the next game round is not started after the set game round is over.

  Thereafter, at the timing of t10, the symbol variation display of the middle symbol row Z2 is stopped, the symbol of the stop result in the current game round is finally stopped and displayed, and at the same time, the final stop result is displayed on the result display portion 33a.

  In game times in which input notification is executed, the pattern input permission flag is set, so that information on input patterns cannot be stored in the pattern storage area 64g in game times in which input notification is not executed. The pattern input permission flag is not set when the lottery result corresponds to the jackpot result. This makes it possible to store information on the input pattern in the pattern storage area 64g as a special benefit when the lottery result is a missed result, and even when the lottery result is a missed result, the player's game The degree of attention to can be maintained.

  Next, the search of the input pattern in the input display unit 120 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 31A to FIG. 31E are explanatory diagrams for explaining a state of searching for an input pattern in the input display unit 120.

  First, in FIG. 31A, four pieces of pattern information PT1 to PT4 are displayed among the 20 pieces of pattern information PT1 to PT20. All the input buttons B1 to B7 in the input area BS are in a non-input state.

  Next, in FIG. 31 (b), the input button B6 is in the input state by the player's input from the state of FIG. 31 (a). In this case, of the input pattern information displayed on the pattern display unit 122, only the input pattern information corresponding to the input button B6 corresponding to the input state is continuously displayed, and the input button B6 corresponding to the non-input state is input. The pattern information is not displayed. Specifically, the pattern information PT3 and PT4 are excluded from the search result because they do not have information corresponding to the input button B6.

  Next, in FIG. 31C, the input button B7 is in the input state by the player's input from the state of FIG. 31B. In this case, as in the case of FIG. 31B, only the input pattern information corresponding to the input state of the input buttons B6 and B7 among the information of the input pattern whose display state is continued is continuously displayed. The input pattern information corresponding to the non-input state of the input buttons B6 and B7 is in the non-display state. Specifically, the pattern information PT2 is excluded from the search result because it does not have information corresponding to the input button B6.

  Next, in FIG. 31 (d), the input button B4 is in the input state by the player's input further from the state of FIG. 31 (c). In this case, as in the case of FIG. 31B and FIG. 31C, the input buttons B4, B6 and B7 among the input pattern information whose display state is continued correspond to the input state. Only the information of the input pattern is continuously displayed, and the information of the input pattern that does not have the information of the input pattern is not displayed. Specifically, the pattern information PT1 is excluded from the search results because the input buttons B4, B6, and B7 do not have information corresponding to the input state. As a result, there is no pattern information that can be compared with the search target.

  Next, in FIG. 31 (e), the input button B7 is in a non-input state due to the player's input from the state of FIG. 31 (d). In this case, the search target is the input pattern information corresponding to the input states of the input buttons B4 and B6, so that the corresponding input pattern information in the pattern information PT1 to PT4 is in the display state. Specifically, the information of the pattern information PT2 is displayed.

  When the search permission flag is stored, it is possible to search whether or not input pattern information corresponding to the input states of the input buttons B1 to B7 is stored in the pattern storage area 64g.

  According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

  When the lottery result based on the hold information stored in the execution area AE corresponds to the losing result, the result display unit 33a displays a stop result including the same first mode as the first mode result for the jackpot result. The player can recognize that the first mode result for the jackpot result is displayed. Thereby, it becomes possible to provide the information of the stop result corresponding to the jackpot by using the result display part 33a. The player can determine whether the result displayed on the result display unit 33a corresponds to the jackpot according to the provided information, and can increase the player's attention to the game. It becomes.

  In addition, by providing a configuration in which the information is provided in the result display unit 33a only when the lottery result corresponds to the losing result, the player can obtain a privilege even if the lottery result is the losing result. It becomes possible, and it becomes possible to maintain the player's attention to the game.

  In addition, when providing information on the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the stop result corresponding to the implicit probability variation jackpot result, an input notification process is executed, and the result display unit 33a performs the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation. It was set as the structure which alert | reports the timing when the information of the stop result corresponding to a jackpot result is provided. Thereby, the player can recognize that it is the timing when the information on the stop result corresponding to the jackpot result is provided.

  In addition, the game content of the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result and the game content of the special outage result are the same as long as the player can visually recognize. Specifically, the game display effect content on the symbol display device 31 The open / close execution mode is the same, but the non-explicit 2R probability variation jackpot result is shifted to the high probability mode, and the special lottery result is that the lottery mode does not change. Similarly, the contents of the game of the implicit probability variable jackpot result and the game contents of the normal jackpot result have the same effects for the game times and the opening / closing execution mode, but if the result is the implicit probability variable jackpot result, the mode shifts to the high probability mode. If it is a normal jackpot result, the game content is different in that it shifts to the low probability mode. Accordingly, by using the information corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result provided in the result display unit 33a, the stop result of the result display unit 33a is changed to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or non- It is possible to determine whether the result corresponds to the explicit probability change jackpot result.

  In addition, since the result display unit 33a provides stop result information corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot or the implicit probability variation jackpot, the implicit 2R is displayed at the same place where the lottery result is displayed. It is possible to obtain stop result information corresponding to the probability variation jackpot or the explicit probability variation jackpot, and simplify the configuration for determining whether the lottery result corresponds to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot or the implicit probability variation jackpot can do.

  By providing the input display unit 120, the player can store a plurality of pieces of input pattern information input to the pattern input unit 121 in the pattern storage area 64g, and confirm the stored contents in the pattern display unit 122. It becomes possible to do. Thereby, the information of the predetermined display mode in the result display unit 33a can be input and stored in the gaming machine, and the stored information can be confirmed. As a result, the player can discriminate the lottery result from the mode of the stop result displayed on the result display unit 33a with reference to the stored content.

  Since the pattern input permission flag is set at the timing when all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 are stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 31, the player executes the symbol combination on the symbol display device 31. It is possible to prevent the input pattern information from being stored in the pattern storage area 64g while ignoring the effect to be performed.

  Further, since the pattern input permission flag is cleared at the timing when the high-speed fluctuation of all the symbol sequences Z1 to Z3 is completed in the next game round, the player can input the pattern information even if the next game round starts. The time required for the input operation can be lengthened. Furthermore, by providing a period in which the pattern input permission flag is set so as not to overlap with the reach effect, the degree of attention to the effect executed by the symbol display device 31 is reduced by lengthening the period required for the input work. It is possible not to let it.

  The pattern input permission flag is not set when the lottery result corresponds to the jackpot result. Thereby, storing the information of the input pattern can be made a special privilege at the time of losing, and the degree of attention of the privilege can be increased. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the input pattern information from being input when the jackpot is generated, and it is possible to increase the importance of the information provided when the jackpot is lost. For example, the stop result corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot can be determined by confirming the display mode of the eighth display segment A8 and the ninth display segment A9. In this case, if the player can store the information of the input pattern when the implicit 2R probability change jackpot occurs, the player can obtain information on the stop result corresponding to the implicit 2R probability change jackpot result and the implicit probability change jackpot result. This will reduce the importance of the information provided at the time of detachment.

  In addition, when providing information on the stop result corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot or the implicit probability variation jackpot, the input notification is executed and the symbol display device 31 is notified that the input to the pattern input unit 121 is urged. The configuration. Thereby, the player can recognize that it is the timing when the information of the input pattern can be input to the pattern input unit 121.

  The pattern input unit 121 is provided in the input display unit 120 with the same shape and arrangement as the display segments A1 to A7 provided in the result display unit 33a. Thereby, when the player inputs the information of the input pattern, the player can input the information of the stop result provided by the result display unit 33a as it is and can easily perform the input work. Is possible.

  The first mode result is a result corresponding to a mode in which 2 to 4 segments are caused to emit light in the display segments A1 to A7 of the result display unit 33a. By not setting the result corresponding to the mode in which all the seven segments emit light as the first mode result, it is complicated for the player to recognize the display mode of the result display unit 33a and input it to the pattern input unit 121. Can be prevented.

  A stop result including the same first mode result is set for the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result and the implicit probability variation jackpot result. By confirming the information of the second mode for these stop results, it is possible to determine which lottery result indicates the stop result in the result display section 33a. As described above, in the configuration in which the first mode result is limited to the combination of the light emission modes of 2 to 4 segments, the first mode result is shared by a plurality of lottery results, and the second mode result is used as a stop result. By providing the difference, it is possible to set many stop result patterns while preventing the input operation from being complicated.

  Further, when the search permission flag is set, the pattern input process is executed to check whether or not the information of the input pattern identical to the content of the input information storage area 64f is stored in the pattern storage area 64g. It becomes possible to do. Thereby, even if the information of a plurality of input patterns is stored in the input information storage area 64f, the player determines whether or not the current lottery result is the same as the information of the stop result already stored. Can be easily determined.

  Since the period in which the search permission flag is set overlaps with the period in which the pattern input permission flag is set, the content of the input information storage area 64f to be searched is changed to the pattern storage area 64g. If it is not stored, the contents of the input information storage area 64f can be stored in the pattern storage area 64g by pressing the storage button 123 as it is. As a result, it is possible to perform from search to storage of input pattern information without waste.

  If the content stored in the input information storage area 64f is the same as the content already stored in the pattern storage area 64g, the content of the input information storage area 64f is stored in the pattern storage area 64g even if the storage button 123 is pressed. The configuration is not memorized. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the same information from being stored in the pattern storage area 64g and increasing the amount of meaningless information.

  In a configuration in which a plurality of first mode results at the time of losing are set, information that is not used at the time of losing out of the information acquired for each game time by determining the first mode result at the time of losing based on the jackpot type counter C2 The mode of the stop result corresponding to the detachment result can be determined by effectively using. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an increase in the amount of information due to diversification of stop results at the time of detachment.

  In the result display section 33a, the ninth display segment A9 is caused to emit light in the stop result mode corresponding to the jackpot result, and the ninth display segment A9 is not caused to emit light in the stop result mode corresponding to the outage result. If the manager of the game hall always checks the ninth display segment A9, the result of the success / failure can be easily grasped, and it is easy to check whether the player has illegally obtained a prize ball. For the player, the display mode of the ninth display segment A9 is a part of the display mode of the display segments A1 to A9, and it is difficult to understand that the result is displayed.

  If the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot is in the high probability mode, the number of rounds in the winning jackpot will be 16 rounds, and if it is in the low probability mode, it will be 8 rounds. It is possible to vary the expected number of winnings in jackpot depending on the gaming state. As a result, the player plays the game while paying attention to the game state before the lottery, and the degree of attention to the game can be increased. In addition, since the contents of the jackpot corresponding to one lottery result can be diversified and the player plays the game with the expectation that it will be 16 rounds, the attention to the game can be increased in this respect as well. It becomes possible.

<Second Embodiment>
In the present embodiment, since the information about the stop result for the implicit 2R probability change or the implicit probability change is provided by the symbol display device 31 at the time of detachment, the above information is provided by the result display unit 33a. This is different from the embodiment. The different configuration will be described below. In the following description, the description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment is basically omitted.

  The stop result setting process for detachment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the outage stop result setting process, first, in step S1901, the value of the big hit type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is confirmed in the same manner as in step S601 in the first embodiment, and the result is stored in the RAM 64. Remember.

  In subsequent step S1902, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the value corresponds to the special loss result.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1902, the address information of the special outage stop result data is acquired in step S1903, and the acquired address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 64.

  In step S1904, after the special out flag is stored in the special out flag storage area in each flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64, the stop result setting process is terminated.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1902, the address information of the normal outage stop result data is acquired in step S1905, the acquired address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 64, and this is used for the out of case. The stop result setting process is terminated.

  The special outage stop result data and the normal outage stop result data are different from each other in the content of the stop result data, as in the first embodiment. Further, in the present embodiment, the contents of the special outage stop result data and the normal outage stop result data are different from the big hit stop result data.

  By executing the outage stop result setting process, if the lottery result for the hold information stored in the execution area AE is an outage result, that is, a special outage result or a normal outage result, The stop result corresponding to only each result is displayed on the result display unit 33a without referring to the table.

  Next, a type command setting process for determining a type command according to the contents of the hold information stored in the execution area AE will be described with reference to FIGS. 33 and 34. FIG. FIG. 33 (a) is a flowchart illustrating the type command setting process, FIG. 33 (b) is an explanatory diagram for explaining a winning symbol notification mode, and FIG. 34 is a winning symbol notification mode different from the present embodiment. It is explanatory drawing for demonstrating.

  As shown in FIG. 33A, in the type command setting process, first, in step S2001, it is determined whether or not the current lottery result corresponds to a normal loss or a special loss.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S2001, the value of the big hit type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is confirmed in step S2002, and the value of the big hit type counter C2 is an implicit 2R probability variable big hit or an implicit probability variable big hit. It is determined whether the value corresponds to.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S2002, a type command determination process for winning symbol notification is executed in step S2003. The category command for winning symbol notification includes stop result information corresponding to the value of the jackpot category counter C2, in addition to the game result information, as in the case of the normal category command. In the winning symbol notification type command determination process, the winning symbol notification table provided in the command information storage area 63e is referred to, and the winning combination corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 confirmed in step S2001 is 1: 1. The type command for symbol notification is determined.

  In the following step S2004, the winning symbol notification type command determined in step S2003 is set. The set type command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 90 in step S201 in the normal process (FIG. 11). The sound lamp control device 90 transmits a display content command to the display control device 100 based on the winning design notification type command. Based on the display content command received from the sound lamp control device 90, the display control device 100 controls the display of the symbol display device 31 so that the symbol change display corresponding to each game time is performed. In the symbol display device 31, when the first game result table for implicit 2R probability change and the first mode result table for implicit probability change are referred to in the present game round effect, the received winning symbol notification is provided. A notification that clearly indicates the mode of the result display corresponding to the jackpot type counter C2 that triggered the determination of the type command is executed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 33 (b), when the lottery result of the nth game corresponds to the result of losing and the value of C2 is “47 to 142, 167 to 238”, Based on the fact that the type command for winning symbol notification is transmitted from the main control device 60 to the display control device 100 via the voice lamp control device 90, the winning symbol by the character image is displayed on the display screen G of the symbol display device 31. Notification is executed.

  On the display screen G, a notification area GP is provided as an area for executing winning symbol notification. The notification area GP includes an aspect providing unit GPa that displays the first aspect corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result, and the information displayed in the aspect provision unit GPa corresponds to the probability variation jackpot. And a notification unit GPb that enables the player to recognize that the player is present. The notification area GP is displayed on the display screen G in a range that does not overlap with the area to be used in the variation of all symbols Z1 to Z3. In addition, when an effect area for a reserved ball is provided on the display screen G and an effect corresponding to the number of holds and the content of the hold information is performed, it is preferable to provide a notification area GP in a range that does not overlap with the effect area.

  After that, if the first mode displayed on the result display unit 33a corresponding to the lottery result of the n + m game times is the same mode as the information provided by the mode providing unit GPa for the nth game time, the player It becomes possible to recognize that the current lottery result corresponds to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result.

  In addition, when displaying the same symbol pattern as the stop result for the implicit 2R probability change or the stop result for the implicit probability change on the symbol display device 31, the entire pattern of one pattern is not displayed at a time. It is good also as a structure which divides and displays 1 pattern in multiple times for every part.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 34, a notification status GP is provided with a provision status display portion GPc that indicates a status in which information about one pattern is provided to the player. When the nth game lottery result corresponds to the losing result and the value of C2 is “47 to 142, 167 to 238”, the notification of the winning symbol is executed by the notification unit GPb, and the mode is provided In the part GPa, a part of the first mode corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result is provided to the player as information. “1/2” is displayed on the provision status display part GPc, and the information provided above divides the first mode corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result into two parts. The player can recognize that it is one.

  Thereafter, the notification of the winning symbol is executed in the notification unit GPb in the n + 1 game round, and a part of the first mode corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result in the mode providing unit GPa Is displayed. “2/2” is displayed on the provision status display part GPc, and the information provided at the current game round is combined with the information provided at the nth game round to form one first mode. It can be recognized by the person.

  Thereafter, when the first mode displayed on the result display unit 33a corresponding to the lottery result of the (n + 1 + m) th game is the same mode as the information formed by combining the above two informations, the player It becomes possible to recognize that the lottery result corresponds to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result.

  In the subsequent step S2005, the character notification flag is set and the type command setting process is executed.

  If a negative determination is made in step S2002, an out-of-run type command that does not correspond to the winning symbol notification is set.

  If a negative determination is made in step S2001, a type command corresponding to the jackpot type is set in step S2007.

  After executing step S2005, step S2006, or step S2007, the type command setting process is terminated.

  In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, it is possible to provide stop result information corresponding to the jackpot result on the symbol display device 31 different from the result display unit 33a. Therefore, it is not necessary to include stop result information corresponding to the jackpot result in the stop result at the time of losing, and it is possible to increase the degree of freedom when setting the mode of the stop result at the time of losing.

<Third Embodiment>
In the present embodiment, the result display unit 33a is different from the first embodiment in the mode of the stop result at the time of winning the big hit and off. The different configuration will be described below. In the following description, the description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment is basically omitted.

  The contents of the distribution table in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the allocation table, as shown in FIG. 35, among the values of the jackpot type counter C2 of “0 to 59”, “0 to 11” corresponds to the normal jackpot result, and “12 to 35” is unspecified. It corresponds to the 2R probability variation jackpot result, “36 to 41” corresponds to the explicit probability variation jackpot result, and “42 to 59” corresponds to the implicit probability variation jackpot result.

  Next, the stop result displayed on the result display unit 33a when winning each of the jackpots will be described.

  The jackpot first mode result table that is referred to in order to determine the mode of the result display of the first display segment A1 to the seventh display segment A7 in the result display unit 33a will be described with reference to FIG. 36 (a) is a first mode result table for ordinary jackpots, FIG. 36 (b) is a first mode result table for unspecified 2R probability change, and FIG. 36 (c) is a first table for explicit probability change. FIG. 36 (d) is a first result table for implicit probability change.

  The information on the first mode result is stored in advance as first mode result data in the ROM 63, as in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 36, each first mode result table stores the correspondence between the value of the big hit type counter C2 and the first mode result data. The contents of the stop result data are set so that the data 12 to data 29 and the data 36 to data 53 in the first mode result table for the implicit 2R probability change include the same first mode result data. Specifically, data 12 and data 36, data 13 and data 37,..., Data 28 and data 52, data 29 and data 53 are the same first mode result data. In addition, data 1 to data 11 in the first mode result table for ordinary jackpots and data 30 to data 35 in the first mode result table for explicit probability change have unique contents, respectively. Is not set to. Further, the data 1 to data 53 are set in common for all the display segments A3 to emit light.

  Here, in this embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the ninth display segment A9 is not used. This determination can be made according to the light emission mode of the third display segment A3. Specifically, when the display result of the result display unit 33a is a mode in which the third display segment A3 is caused to emit light, it corresponds to the jackpot result and is in a mode in which the third display segment A3 is not caused to emit light. Corresponds to outliers.

  The address information of the first mode result data determined with reference to each first mode result table is acquired, and the acquired address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 64.

  Even when the hold information stored in the execution area AE corresponds to detachment, the above process is executed, and the address information of the first mode result data determined by referring to each first mode result table is the first. Store in the mode result address storage area.

  Based on the address information stored in the first mode result address storage area, the result display mode of the result display unit 33a is determined in the variation end process. The variation end process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The processes in steps S2101 to S2104 of the variation end process in the present embodiment are the same as the processes in steps S901 to S904 of the variation end process in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  If it is determined in step S2104 that the hold information in the execution area AE corresponds to another jackpot that is not an implicit 2R probability variable jackpot, the process proceeds to step S2105, and the display segments A1 to A7 confirmed in step S2102 are displayed. The result display unit 33a displays the result of the stop as the information of the first mode and the information of the mode in which the eighth display segment A8 is lit as the second mode information.

  If it is determined in step S2104 that the hold information in the execution area AE corresponds to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot, the process proceeds to step S2106, and the display mode information of the display segments A1 to A7 confirmed in step S2102 is displayed. The result display unit 33a displays the result of the stop as information on the first aspect and information on the aspect that does not light the eighth display segment A8 as information on the second aspect.

  If it is determined in step S2104 that the hold information in the execution area AE corresponds to the detachment, the process proceeds to step S2107, and the display mode information of the display segments A1 to A7 confirmed in step S2102 is used for the third display. The result display unit 33a displays the stop result as information on the mode in which the segment A3 is not lit and information on the mode in which the eighth display segment A8 is not lit as information on the second mode.

  After the execution of step S2105, step S2106, and step S2107, this variation end process ends.

  In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the segment indicating the result of the lottery in the result display section 33a is not the ninth display segment A9 but the third display segment A3.

  Here, as for display segments A1-A7, the display mode of seven segments is changing integrally as a segment group which shows the 1st mode. Even if the third display segment A3 is used as a display segment for the result of the acceptance / rejection, the display mode of the other six segments fluctuates irregularly. It becomes difficult to recognize that. In the first embodiment, the display segment as a result of the determination is one of the two segments provided as the segment group indicating the second mode. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of segments that change integrally with the display segment of the result of the success / failure is larger, so that the player is more difficult to recognize the display segment of the result of the success / failure.

  On the other hand, for the manager of the game hall, even if any of the ninth display segment A9 and the third display segment A3 is used as the display segment of the success / failure result, the 1 provided in the result display section 33a Since the operation of confirming one segment is the same, it is not difficult to discriminate the result.

<Other embodiments>
In addition, it is not limited to the description content of each embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows. Incidentally, each of the following configurations may be applied alone to the configuration of each of the above embodiments, or may be applied to the configuration of each of the above embodiments in a predetermined combination.

  (1) In each of the above-described embodiments, information on the display mode of the first display segment A1 to the seventh display segment A7 corresponding to the stop result for the implicit 2R probability change or the stop result for the implicit probability change is provided. Although the timing is the timing at which the result display at the result display unit 33a is displayed, the above information may be provided during the variable display on the result display unit 33a.

  Specifically, a configuration is conceivable in which information on the stop result for the implicit 2R probability change or the stop result for the implicit probability change is displayed in the middle of displaying the variable display pattern in the result display unit 33a. In this case, the change display pattern in the result display unit 33a and the information on the stop result are displayed so that the player can easily recognize that the stop result for the implicit 2R probability change or the stop result for the implicit probability change is displayed. It is good to make it the display mode from which a tendency differs. For example, in the variation display pattern in the result display unit 33a, a mode in which only one segment is turned on is set, and 2 to 4 during provision of information corresponding to the stop result for implicit 2R probability change or the stop result for implicit probability change A configuration in which one segment is lit is set. In addition, the player is notified of the timing of displaying the information on the stop result for the implicit 2R probability change or the stop result for the implicit probability change during the display of the variable display pattern, so that the player It becomes possible to recognize the timing at which the result information is provided, and to determine the lottery result using the provided stop result information.

  (2) In each of the above embodiments, the information on the display mode of the lottery result corresponding to the jackpot result in the result display unit 33a provided at the time of losing is the information on the display mode corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot or the implicit probability variation jackpot It is good also as a structure which provides the information of the display mode corresponding to another lottery result without being restricted to.

  For example, when different display modes are set for the 8-round jackpot and the 16-round jackpot, the display mode information corresponding to the 16-round jackpot may be provided at the time of departure. In this case, as information necessary when referring to the first aspect result table for the jackpot result, information on whether or not the value of the jackpot type counter C2 and the high probability mode flag are set is set, and the high probability mode flag is set. A configuration is possible in which different stop result data is set depending on whether or not is set.

  In addition, for example, it may be configured to provide information of a display mode corresponding to a normal jackpot at the time of departure. In this case, information on the display mode corresponding to the normal jackpot is displayed on the pattern display unit 122. Whether the normal jackpot result and the unspecified probability change jackpot result have the same game content, is the lottery result a normal jackpot result by comparing the information input to the input display unit 120 with the display mode of the result display unit 33a? It becomes possible to determine whether or not. If the lottery result is not the normal jackpot result, it can be specified that the result is an unspecified probability variation jackpot result.

  (3) In each of the above-described embodiments, when winning a normal jackpot, explicit probability change jackpot or explicit probability change jackpot in the high probability mode, 16 round opening / closing execution modes are executed, and in the low probability mode, eight rounds are executed. Although the opening / closing execution mode is configured to be executed, the 16-round opening / closing execution mode may be easily won in the high probability mode, and the 16-round opening / closing execution mode may be difficult to win in the low probability mode.

  Specifically, a high-probability mode table and a low-probability mode table are provided as distribution tables, and the number of values corresponding to 16 rounds of jackpots in the high-probability mode table is larger than that of the low-probability mode table. It is possible to increase the number of configurations.

  (4) In each of the above embodiments, if the lottery result is out of order and the jackpot type counter C2 corresponds to the non-explicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result, it corresponds to the jackpot type counter C2 The display mode in the result display unit 33a is determined based on the display corresponding to the stop result data in the first mode result table for the jackpot result. However, the first mode result table for the jackpot result is not referred to. Also good.

  Specifically, by referring to the first mode result table for the losing result, it is possible to obtain stop result address information corresponding to the big hit type counter C2 and different from the big hit result stop result. A first mode result table for detachment may be provided so that

  (5) In each of the above-described embodiments, the value of the big hit type counter C2 is used when determining the stop result for the outlier result. However, as the configuration of determining by using the value of the big hit random number counter C1 Also good. In this case, since there are more values that are normally allocated to the outlier than the values that are allocated to the special outage result in the jackpot random number counter C1, the value that is normally allocated to the outlier is mainly used to make an implicit 2R probability variation big hit. Alternatively, it is necessary to provide information on a display mode corresponding to the implicit probability variation jackpot. Alternatively, it is possible to increase the number of display modes including information on display modes corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot or the implicit probability variation jackpot by increasing the winning probability of special outage.

  (6) In each of the above embodiments, the control for pattern input permission and search permission of the input display unit 120 is not performed by the main controller 60, but is performed by the sound lamp controller 90 or the display controller 100. It is good also as composition to do.

  In the configuration in which the control of the input display unit 120 is executed by the sound lamp control device 90 or the display control device 100, an effect for game times is determined based on the variation start command and the type command received from the main control device 60, and The pattern input permission flag or the search permission flag is set and cleared in accordance with the determined game round effect. Specifically, the sound lamp control device 90 is provided with a sound lamp ROM, and the display control device 100 is provided with a display ROM. Both ROMs store information on the elapsed time used for effects for game times, and store information such as the time from the start of change to the end of high-speed change and the time from the start of change to the symbol determination.

  When the sound lamp control device 90 or the display control device 100 controls the input display unit 120, the main control device 60 does not need to grasp the time from the start of change to the end of high speed change in the symbol display device 31. It is possible to prevent an increase in the storage capacity of the ROM 63.

  (7) In each of the above-described embodiments, the input notification execution timing may be executed in a game time where no reach occurs. Specifically, it may be configured to determine whether or not to set the type command corresponding to the character notification based on the value of the reach random number counter C3.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure by which an input alerting | reporting is performed only when a specific reach is removed. In this case, it is necessary to determine whether or not to set the type command corresponding to the character notification based on the value of the variation type counter CS as well as the reach random number counter C3.

  It is desirable that these notifications be executed at a timing later than the timing at which it is determined that no reach will occur or the timing at which the reach is lost. Thereby, the player can play a game while expecting a big hit until the reach is released.

  (8) In each of the above embodiments, the present invention may be applied in a configuration having different result display portions in the upper working port 23 and the lower working port 24. For example, in a configuration in which a first result display unit is provided corresponding to the upper operation port 23 and a second result display unit is provided corresponding to the lower operation port 24, different stop result modes are set for the same lottery result. The structure which is made can be considered. In this case, the player can recognize whether the mode of the stop result displayed on the input display unit 120 corresponds to the stop result of the first result display unit or the stop result of the second result display unit. It is necessary to become.

  For example, in the configuration in which two different display areas are provided in the display area of the input display unit 120, the upper display area displays the stop result of the first result display unit, and the lower display area (2) A configuration for displaying the stop result of the result display unit can be considered. Specifically, as the storage button 123, a first storage button that stores an input pattern as stop result information in the first result display section, and a second storage that stores an input pattern as stop result information in the second result display section. And a button. The unit area provided in the pattern storage area 64g also includes a first unit area group that stores information on stop results in the first result display section for every ten unit areas, and a second unit that stores information on stop results in the second result display section. It is divided into unit area groups. When the first storage button is pressed, the information stored in the input information storage area 64f is stored in the unit area provided in the first unit area group, and when the second storage button is pressed, the information stored in the input information storage area 64f is stored. Is stored in a unit area provided in the second unit area group. The input pattern information stored in the first unit area group is displayed in the upper display area, and the input pattern information stored in the second unit area group is displayed in the lower display area.

  For example, the structure which the aspect of the same stop result is set with respect to the same lottery result in the 1st result display part and the 2nd result display part can be considered. In this case, it is not necessary to divide the display area in the input display unit 120, and the stop result of the first result display section and the stop result of the second display section may be displayed without distinction in one display area. .

  (9) In each of the above-described embodiments, a configuration may be adopted in which an implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result is not provided. In this case, it is not necessary to discriminate between the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result and the special loss in the result display section 33a, and the information on the stop result provided at the time of the determination determines whether the lottery result is a normal jackpot result or an implicit probability variation jackpot result. Use to do.

  (10) In each of the above-described embodiments, the result display unit 33a may be configured not to execute the provision of information on the display mode corresponding to the jackpot result if the result is a special deviation. Moreover, it is good also as a structure by which the information of the display mode corresponding to the jackpot result is provided only when the lottery result is specially off. Specifically, the type command setting process may be configured such that the setting of the type command corresponding to the character notification is not executed in the case of special outage or executed only in the case of special outage.

  (11) In each of the above embodiments, the period during which the search permission flag is set may be the same as the period during which the input permission flag is set. Specifically, the search permission flag is set over a period from the end of the symbol change at the game time to the end of the high-speed symbol change at the next game time. With the above configuration, even if the next game round is started, information on the stop result can be searched, so that the search period can be extended so as not to overlap with the reach presentation of the next game round. . Further, since the change of the search permission flag is the same as that of the input permission flag, the input permission flag and the search permission flag can be combined into one flag.

  (12) In each of the above embodiments, the period during which the input permission flag is set is not a period from the end of the symbol change in the symbol display device 31 to the start of the next symbol change, and a predetermined time after the end of the symbol change. It is good also as a period until time passes. The predetermined time only needs to secure a time necessary for inputting information of one input pattern, and does not need to be able to input information of a plurality of input patterns.

  (13) In each of the above embodiments, the content of the input pattern information that can be stored in the pattern storage area 64g when the input permission flag is set may be limited. For example, the result display unit 33a displays a stop result corresponding to the outlier result, and the stop result is a predetermined stop result including information on the stop result corresponding to the implicit 2R probability variation big hit or the implicit probability big hit. When the notification is executed, a configuration is conceivable in which the input pattern that can be input to the pattern input unit 121 before the end of the high-speed fluctuation in the effect for the next game is limited to the information of the stop result displayed this time.

  Specifically, the input buttons B1 to B7 are respectively connected to the main control device 60, and the main control device 60 may be configured to receive an input signal only from a predetermined input button.
