In this embodiment, in the case of '0', the jackpot symbol combination is '0, 0, 0', which is 0 doublet (all symbols are the same), and in the case of '1', the jackpot symbol combination is '1, 1 doublet that becomes 1,1'(all symbols are the same), 2 doublet that becomes '2,2,2' in the case of '2', '3,3 in the case of '3' , 3', 3's, '4',' 4, 4, 4', 4's, '5', '5, 5, 5'5 Doublet, 6 doublet which is '6,6,6' in case of '6', 7 doublet which is '7,7,7' in case of '7',' In the case of 8', a jackpot symbol combination consisting of 8 doublets, which is '8, 8, 8', and in the case of '9', 9 doublets, which is '9, 9, 9', is assigned. ing.

Further, in this embodiment, the jackpot symbol random number is also used to determine the probability change in the case of a jackpot. In the probability variation (probability variation jackpot), the probability of a jackpot is considered to be the high probability after the end of the jackpot game (special game) until the next jackpot determination is made. In the case of a normal jackpot that is not a probability change, the probability of the jackpot is set to the low probability after the end of the jackpot game (special game) until the next jackpot is determined to be a jackpot. In this embodiment, when the hit / fail determination result is a jackpot and the jackpot symbol random numbers are '1', '3', '6', '7', '8', and '9', that is, the special symbol display. The combinations of jackpot symbols that are stopped and displayed in part 11 are "1,1,1", "3,3,3", "6,6,6", "7,7,7", "8,8,8". ], "9,9,9" is a probability change (high probability). In the probability change (high probability) state, the opening (expansion) time of the lower start winning opening 42 increases from 1 second to 2 seconds in the low probability (normal game) state, and the number of times of opening (expansion) increases. The probability per normal symbol increases from 1 to 3 times in the low probability (normal game) state, and further increases from 1/125 to 125/126 in the low probability (normal game) state. On the other hand, when the hit / fail determination result is a jackpot and the jackpot symbol random numbers are '0', '2', '4', and '5', that is, a combination of jackpot symbols that are stopped and displayed on the special symbol display unit 11. Is a low probability (normal) in any of "0,0,0", "2,2,2", "4,4,4", and "5,5,5".

The reach random number counter is for determining whether or not to pass the reach state when the hit / fail judgment result of the jackpot based on the jackpot random number value is out of order, and is a random number of '0' to '126'. Consists of. The reach state in this embodiment excludes the special symbol (for example, the middle special symbol) that is stopped and displayed last among the left special symbol, the middle special symbol, and the right special symbol that are displayed in a variable stop display on the special symbol display unit 11. When other special symbols (for example, the left special symbol and the right special symbol) are the same (except for the final stop symbol, which is the same as the jackpot special symbol combination, and finally the jackpot special symbol combination is obtained. (A state that includes a case where a special symbol combination is out of order). The random number (reach random number) of the reach random number counter starts from '0' when the power of the game machine 1 is turned on, and is added by 1 for each of the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing described later, and the numerical value is '126'. When it reaches, it is set to '0' and the addition is repeated again. The reach random number is acquired due to the winning of the upper starting winning opening 41 or the lower starting winning opening 42, and when the winning / failing judgment result is wrong, the numerical value is compared with the predetermined reach establishment numerical value. The presence or absence of reach is judged. In this embodiment, the reach establishment numerical value is set to '5' to '15'.

The special symbol data random number counter is used to determine a special symbol combination that is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display unit 11 when the jackpot determination result based on the jackpot random number value is out of order. The random number counter of the special symbol data 1 that determines the left special symbol to be stopped and displayed on the display unit 11, the random number counter of the special symbol data 2 that determines the middle special symbol, and the special symbol data 3 that determines the right special symbol. It is composed of a random number counter, and each special symbol data random number counter is composed of random numbers of '0' to '8'.

When the power is turned on, the random numbers of the special symbol data 1 start from '0' and are added by '1' for each of the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processes described later, and when it reaches '9', then '0'. It is rewritten as'and the addition is repeated again. Further, the random number of the special symbol data 2 starts from "0" when the power is turned on, and is added by "1" when the random number of the special symbol data 1 is rewritten to "0" to reach "9". Then, it is rewritten to '0' and the addition is repeated again. Further, the random number of the special symbol data 3 starts from '0' when the power is turned on or after the reset process, and is added by '1' when the random number of the special symbol data 2 is rewritten to '0', and is added in '9. When it reaches', it is then rewritten to '0' and the addition is repeated again. As a result, even if the random numbers range of the special symbol data 1 to 3 are the same, it is possible to prevent the random numbers of the special symbol data 1 to 3 from being synchronized (added in the same combination).

Each random number of the special symbol data 1 to 3 is 0 in the case of '0', 1 in the case of '1', 2 in the case of '2', and so on. Identification information consisting of a left special symbol, a middle special symbol, and a right special symbol that is stopped and displayed is assigned to the display unit 11. The random numbers of the special symbol data 1 to 3 are acquired due to the winning of the upper starting winning opening 41 or the lower starting winning opening 42, and the combination of the random numbers of the acquired special symbol data 1 to 3 causes the random numbers to be removed. The identification information including the left special symbol, the middle special symbol, and the right special symbol displayed on the special symbol display unit 11 is determined.

The variable mode random number counter is used when selecting a variable mode including the display mode of the special symbol in the special symbol display unit 11 from the variable mode table, and the variable mode random number of '0' to '198' It has a numerical value. The "variable mode including the display mode of the special symbol" is an effect display mode such as a special symbol, for example, moving the special symbol in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, the diagonal direction, or the like, rotating the special symbol, or the like. It refers to a variable display mode in which a special symbol is enlarged or reduced, or a variable display mode in which a character symbol is produced and displayed in front of a background image. This variation mode random number value starts from '0' when the power of the game machine 1 is turned on, is added by 1 for each of the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing described later, and when the numerical value reaches '198', the next It is set to '0' and the addition is repeated again. The random number value (variable mode random number value) of the variable mode random number counter is acquired due to the winning of the upper starting winning opening 41 or the lower starting winning opening 42. Specifically, it is acquired when the number of special symbol holding balls stored in the RAM of the main control board 200 is 1 or more.

A plurality of variable mode tables are provided. Each table is composed of a plurality of variations of the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display unit 11, and is stored in the ROM of the main control board 200. In this embodiment, the selection of the variation mode from the variation mode table is one variation mode based on the variation mode random value from the variation mode table selected according to whether the hit / fail determination result is correct or not and the presence / absence of reach. Is now selected. A variation mode random value is assigned to each variation mode in the variation mode table, and a variation mode corresponding to the acquired variation mode random value is selected. Further, in each variation mode, a variation time for displaying the special symbol in a predetermined display mode is set, and the variation time is set in advance at the start of the variation.

The acquired jackpot random number value, jackpot symbol random value, reach random number value, and variation mode random value are stored in the corresponding area of the RAM of the main control board 200 in correspondence with the number of reserved balls. And used sequentially.

The normal symbol random number counter determines the hit of the normal symbol, and when the power of the game machine 1 is turned on, it starts from '0' and is added by '1' for each of the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing described later. When it reaches '125', it is then rewritten to '0' and the addition is repeated again. The normal symbol random value is acquired every time the game ball that has passed through the normal symbol fluctuation start gate 55 is detected by the normal symbol fluctuation start switch, and up to four normal symbol random values of the RAM of the main control board 200 are disturbed. Stored in numeric storage area. The normal symbol random value acquired due to the passing of the game ball through the normal symbol fluctuation start gate 55 is set to '5', which is set as the established value per normal symbol in the low probability (normal game) state. If they match, it will be a normal symbol hit, while if it matches with '1' to '125', which are set as the established values per normal symbol in the probabilistic (high probability game) state, it will be a normal symbol hit.

The game of the game machine 1 will be briefly described. In the game machine 1, when the game balls launched by the launching device 64 toward the game area 6 win the various winning openings, a predetermined number of game balls corresponding to the winning openings are used as prize balls from the payout device 281. It is paid out to the upper ball saucer 36. Further, when the game ball passes through the normal symbol fluctuation start gate 55, a normal symbol random number is acquired, and a determination for hitting the normal symbol is performed based on the acquired random number value, and the normal symbol display unit 50 determines the normal symbol. Starts fluctuating and stops after fluctuating for a predetermined time. At that time, if the judgment result of hitting the normal symbol is a hit, the hit normal symbol, in this example, stops at "1", and the two movable pieces 42a and 42b of the lower start winning opening 42 are the starting prizes on the back surface. The solenoid for the mouth changes from a closed state (normal state), which is substantially vertical and difficult to win, to an open state, which is approximately V-shaped (inverted C-shaped) and allows winning. When a game ball wins a prize in the lower start winning opening 42, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

Further, when a game ball wins in the upper starting winning opening 41 or the lower starting winning opening 42, if the number of special symbol reserved balls is less than 4, the number of special symbol reserved balls is added by 1 to obtain a jackpot random value and a jackpot. Random values such as a symbol random value and a reach random value are acquired and stored in the RAM of the main control board 200 up to a maximum of 4. Then, if the number of special symbol reserved balls stored in the RAM of the main control board 200 is 1 or more, the jackpot winning / failing determination is performed based on the jackpot random number value acquired earlier, and the winning / failing determination result and variation Aspect One variation mode including the display mode of the special symbol to be displayed on the special symbol display unit 11 is selected from the variation mode table based on the random value. Then, based on the selected variation mode, the special symbol display unit 11 of the display device 10 starts the variation display of the special symbol. In this embodiment, the number of balls with which the special symbol is reserved is subtracted by 1 from the RAM of the main control board 200 by displaying the variation of the special symbol based on the result of the hit / fail determination. When the number of special symbol reserved balls stored in the RAM of the main control board 200 is 0, the game balls are subsequently won in the upper start winning opening 41 or the lower starting winning opening 42, and the main Until the number of special symbol holding balls stored in the RAM of the control board 200 becomes 1 or more, the hit / fail determination and the variation display of the special symbol are not performed.

The special symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display unit 11 due to the passage of the fluctuation time (end of the fluctuation time) set in the selected variation mode. Further, in this embodiment, the type of the variation mode table used for selecting the variation mode, that is, the variation mode table when the hit / fail judgment result is a hit, or the variation mode when the result is out of reach (so-called reach out). Variation mode in case of disengagement without reach (so-called disengagement) In a drive mode defined corresponding to each of the tables, the excitation motor 85 is driven according to control by the control signal.

The driving process of the exciting motor 85 is performed by the process of the sub-control board 205 performed according to the selection of the variation mode in the main control board 200. FIG. 12 shows an example of the drive process S10 in the sub control board 205. In the drive process S10, it is determined whether or not the drive command transmitted in the control process of the main control board 200 has been received (S11), and if the drive command has been received, the drive control process (S12) is performed. .. In the drive control process (S12), a control signal corresponding to time is output to the drive control circuit unit of the first to third examples. On the other hand, if the drive command has not been received, this drive process (S10) is terminated.

After the special symbol fluctuates for a predetermined time, if it is out of alignment, the left special symbol, the middle special symbol, and the right special symbol are stopped at the extra symbol combination (state other than doublet) on the special symbol display unit 11, and a big hit. There is no transition to games (special games).
On the other hand, when the hit / fail determination result is a big hit, the left special symbol, the middle special symbol, and the right special symbol are stopped at the jackpot symbol combination (doublet in this embodiment) on the special symbol display unit 11, and the jackpot game (doublet). Move to special game).

In the big hit game (special game) state, the opening / closing plate 46 of the big winning opening 45 opens to make it easier to catch the game ball falling on the surface of the game area 6, and the big winning opening 45 can be won. When there is a prize in the large prize opening 45, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as prize balls. The opening / closing plate 46 is closed after a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) or when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10), and the opening / closing of the opening / closing plate 46 is repeated for 15 rounds.

Further, in this embodiment, any one of "0,0,0", "2,2,2", "4,4,4", and "5,5,5" is normally displayed on the special symbol display unit 11. When the special symbol is stopped and displayed in the jackpot symbol combination, it becomes a normal jackpot, and after the jackpot game (special game) is completed, the probability of the jackpot is low until the next jackpot is judged as a jackpot (this embodiment). (2/630 (1/315)), on the other hand, "1,1,1", "3,3,3", "6,6,6", "7" are displayed on the special symbol display unit 11. , 7,7 ”,“ 8,8,8 ”,“ 9,9,9 ”, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the probability variation jackpot is reached and the jackpot game (special game) ends. After that, the probability of the jackpot is set to a high probability ((12/630 (6/315) in this embodiment) until it is determined to be a jackpot by the next jackpot hit / fail judgment. When the high probability state is reached, The opening (expansion) time of the lower start winning opening 42 is increased from 1 second in the low probability (normal game) state to 2 seconds, and the number of times of opening (expansion) is 1 in the low probability (normal game) state. It increases from 1 to 3 times, and the probability of hitting a normal symbol increases from 1/125 in the low probability (normal game) state to 125/126.
