The payout control device 70 controls the payout 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 supply and launch control device 80 are connected to, for example, a commercial power supply (external power supply) in a playground or the like. Then, based on the external power supplied from the commercial power source, the operating power required for each of the main control board 61, the payout control device 70, and the like is generated, and the generated operating power is supplied through a predetermined power path. To do. Further, the power supply and the launch control device 80 are responsible for launch control of the game ball launch mechanism 81, and the game ball launch mechanism 81 is driven when a predetermined launch condition is satisfied.

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

The voice lamp control device 90 is based on various commands input from the main control device 60, and the display lamp units 54 and speakers provided on the holding lamp units 35 and 36 provided on the variable display unit 26 and the front door frame 14 are provided. The unit 55 is driven and controlled, and the display control device 100 is controlled.

The display control device 100 executes the display control of the symbol display device 31 based on the command input from the voice lamp control device 90. In this case, the voice lamp control device 90 determines the variation display time of the symbol in the symbol display device 31 and the type of combination of the symbols to be finally stopped and displayed based on various commands input from the main control device 60. , Determine whether or not reach occurs and the content of reach production.

Here, the display contents 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 row, a middle row, and a lower row are set as a plurality of variable display areas. Each symbol row Z1 to Z3 is configured by arranging a main symbol and a sub symbol in a predetermined order. Specifically, in the upper symbol row Z1, nine types of main symbols "1" to "9" are arranged in descending order of numbers, 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 order of numbers, and one sub symbol is arranged between each main symbol. 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 string Z2, nine types of main symbols "1" to "9" are arranged in ascending order of numbers, and then between the main symbol of "9" and the main symbol of "1". The main symbol of "4" is additionally arranged in the above, and one sub symbol is arranged between each of these main symbols. That is, only in the middle symbol row Z2, 10 main symbols are arranged and composed of 20 symbols. Then, on the display screen G, the symbols in each of the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 are variably displayed so as to scroll in a predetermined direction with periodicity. Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), on the display screen G, 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 is supposed to be done.

Further, five effective lines, that is, a left line L1, a middle line L2, a right line L3, a right-down line L4, and a right-up line L5 are set on the display screen G. Then, the variable display is stopped 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 where a combination of symbols with the same number is formed on one of the effective lines. When the variation display of ~ Z3 is completed, the jackpot moving image is displayed as the occurrence of the normal jackpot result or the explicit probability variation jackpot result 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 probability variation jackpot result occurs, the same specific symbol The combination is displayed as stopped. In addition, the main symbols with even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8) correspond to "non-specific symbols", and when a normal jackpot result or an unspecified probability variation jackpot result described later occurs, the same non-specific symbol 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, a combination of predetermined symbols different from the same combination of symbols, specifically, a combination of symbols that are out of reach is formed in the entire symbol sequence. The variable display of Z1 to Z3 is completed, and then a predetermined moving image is displayed.

The mode of variable display of symbols in the symbol display device 31 is not limited to the above, and is arbitrary, such as the number of symbol rows, the direction of variable display of symbols in the symbol row, the number of symbols in each symbol row, and the like. Can be changed as appropriate. Further, the pattern to be variablely displayed by the symbol display device 31 is not limited to the above-mentioned symbol, and for example, only numbers may be variablely displayed as the symbol.

<Electrical configuration for performing various lottery at MPU62>
Next, an electrical configuration for performing various lottery in the MPU 62 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

The main MPU 92 uses various counter information during the game to draw a big hit, set the display of the result display unit 33a and the round display unit 33b, set the symbol display of the symbol display device 31, and display the accessory display unit 34. As shown in FIG. 7, the jackpot random number counter C1 used for the lottery for the occurrence of jackpots, the jackpot type counter C2 used for determining the jackpot type, and the symbol display are set. Reach generation when the device 31 deviates and fluctuates The reach random number counter C3 used for lottery, the random number initial value counter CINI used for setting the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1, and the display continuation on the result display unit 33a and the symbol display device 31. A variable type counter CS that determines the time is used. Further, the electric accessory opening counter C4 used for lottery as to whether or not the electric accessory 24a of the lower operating port 24 is set to the electric service 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 in which 1 is added to the previous value each time the counter is updated, and the counter returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. Each counter is updated at short intervals. The information corresponding to the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 is stored in the hold storage area 64b as the acquisition information storage means when a prize is generated in the upper operating port 23 or the lower operating port 24. Will be done.

The hold storage area 64b includes a hold 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, according to the winning history of 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 in any of the reserved areas RE1 to RE4 as reserved information.

In this case, in the first holding area RE1 to the fourth holding area RE4, when the upper operating port 23 or the lower operating port 24 is awarded a plurality of times in succession, the first holding area RE1 → the second holding area RE1 Each numerical information is stored in the order of RE2 → 3rd holding area RE3 → 4th holding area RE4 in chronological order. By providing the four holding areas RE1 to RE4 in this way, up to four winning histories of the game balls in the upper operating port 23 or the lower operating port 24 can be reserved and stored. Further, the hold storage area 64b is provided with a hold number storage area NA, and the hold number storage area NA is used to specify the number of winning histories stored in the upper operation port 23 or the lower operation port 24. Information is stored.

The number that can be stored on hold is not limited to 4, and may be any other number such as 2, 3, or 5 or more, or may be a single number.

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 unit 33a, and at the start of one game round. Based on various numerical information stored in the execution area AE, a hit / fail judgment or the like is performed.

Each of the above counters will be described in detail.

The jackpot random number counter C1 has a configuration in which, for example, 1 is added in order within the range of 0 to 599, and after reaching the maximum value, it 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 jackpot random number counter C1 is periodically updated, and is stored in the hold storage area 64b at the timing when the game ball wins the upper operating port 23 or the lower operating port 24.

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

In the gaming state in which the winning / failing table for the low probability mode is referred to in the lottery, as shown in FIG. 8A, the number of random numbers that win the big hit is two. 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. 8B, the number of random numbers that win the big hit is four. If the winning probability of the high probability mode is higher than that of the low probability mode, the number of random numbers to be won is arbitrary.

Further, in each lottery mode, the lottery result is a result other than the value of the random number that is the big hit, but in this pachinko machine 10, two types of the result are set, a special loss result and a normal loss result. Has been done. These differences will be described later.

The jackpot type counter C2 is configured to be incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 238, reach the maximum value, and then return to 0. The jackpot type counter C2 is periodically updated, and is stored in the hold storage area 64b at the timing when the game ball wins the upper operating port 23 or the lower operating port 24.

In this pachinko machine 10, a plurality of jackpot results are set. These plurality of 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 / failing lottery means after the opening / closing execution mode ends, and (3) the lower after the opening / closing execution mode ends. By providing a difference in three conditions of the support mode in the electric accessory 24a of the operating port 24, a plurality of jackpot results are set.

Here, as an mode of opening / closing control of the variable winning device 22 in the opening / closing execution mode, the frequency of winning the variable winning device 22 from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode is relatively high or low. High-frequency winning mode and low-frequency winning mode are set as described above. Specifically, in the high-frequency winning mode, the large winning opening 22a is opened and closed 8 or 16 times from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode, and one opening is performed until 30 seconds have passed or a large winning prize is awarded. It continues until the number of winnings in the mouth 22a reaches 10. On the other hand, in the low-frequency winning mode, the large winning opening 22a is opened and closed twice from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode, and one opening is until 0.2 sec elapses or to the large winning opening 22a. It will continue until the number of winnings reaches 6.

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

In the high-frequency winning mode and the low-frequency winning mode, the number of times the large winning opening 22a is opened and closed, the opening time limit for one opening, and the number of opening limits for one opening are lower in the high-frequency winning mode. As long as the frequency of winning the variable winning device 22 from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode is higher than that, the value is not limited to the above value and is arbitrary. Specifically, if the high-frequency winning mode has more opening and closing times than the low-frequency winning mode, the opening time limit for one opening is long, or the number of opening limits for one opening is set to be large. Good.

However, in order to clarify the difference in benefits between the high-frequency winning mode and the low-frequency winning mode, the variable winning device 22 is not substantially won in the open / close execution mode related to the low-frequency winning mode. It is good to have a configuration. For example, in the high frequency winning mode, the product of the firing cycle of the game ball and the opening limit number is set shorter than the opening time limit for one opening, while in the low frequency winning mode, one opening is set. The product of the firing cycle of the game ball and the opening limit number may be set longer than the opening limit time. Further, even if the firing interval of the game ball and the opening time of one large winning opening 22a are not as described above, in the low frequency winning mode, the latter is set to be shorter than the former. It is possible to easily realize a configuration in which a prize is not substantially generated in the variable winning device 22.

As a support mode in the electric accessory 24a of the lower operating port 24, the electric accessory 24a of the lower operating port 24 is compared in a situation where the firing of the game ball is continued in the same manner with respect to the game area. A low-frequency support mode and a high-frequency support mode are set so that the frequency of opening in a unit time is relatively high or low.

Specifically, in the low-frequency support mode and the high-frequency support mode, the probability of winning the electric role open state in the electric accessory open lottery using the electric accessory release counter C4 is the same (for example, both are 1/2). However, in the high-frequency support mode, the number of times the electric accessory 24a is opened when the electric accessory open state is won is set more than in the low-frequency support mode, and one more opening. The time is set long. In this case, when the electric accessory open state is won in the high frequency support mode and the electric accessory 24a is opened multiple times, the electric accessory 24a is closed from the end of one open state to the start of the next open state. The time is set shorter than the one-time opening time. Furthermore, in the high-frequency support mode, the minimum secured time for the next electric accessory opening lottery to be held after one electric accessory opening lottery is set is shorter than in the low-frequency support mode. Has been done.

As described above, in the high frequency support mode, the probability that the lower operating port 24 is won is higher than in the low frequency support mode. In other words, in the low frequency support mode, the probability of winning the upper operating port 23 is higher than that of the lower operating port 24, but in the high frequency support mode, the lower operating port 24 is more likely than the upper operating port 23. The probability of winning a prize increases. Then, when a prize is won in the lower operating port 24, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Therefore, in the high frequency support mode, the player plays the game while not reducing the number of balls held so much. be able to.

The configuration for increasing the frequency of the high-frequency support mode to be in the electric service open state per unit time is not limited to the above, for example, the electric accessory open lottery. It may be configured to increase the probability of winning the electric service open state in. Further, the high-frequency support mode and the low-frequency support mode may be set by differentiating any one condition or any combination of the number of times, the opening time, and the winning probability.

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

The distribution destination of the game result for the jackpot type counter C2 (that is, the lottery result by the winning / losing 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. There is. 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 unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, an explicit probability variation jackpot result, and an unspecified probability variation jackpot result are set as distribution destinations of the game results.

The normal 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 win / fail 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 that shifts the gaming state to the normal jackpot state.

The unspecified 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 / failing lottery mode becomes the high probability mode, but the support mode does not change. In other words, the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result that shifts the gaming state to the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot state.

The explicit 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 / losing 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 / losing lottery becomes a big hit state and the state shifts to the big hit state. In other words, the explicit probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result that shifts the gaming state to the explicit probability variation jackpot state.

The unspecified probability change 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 / losing lottery mode becomes the high-probability mode, but the support mode does not change. In other words, the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result that shifts the gaming state to the implicit probability variation jackpot state.

In relation to each of the above game states, the normal game state means a state in which the winning / failing lottery mode is a low probability mode and the support mode is a 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 unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result. "143 to 166" correspond to the explicit probability variation jackpot result, and "167 to 238" correspond to the non-explicit probability variation jackpot result.

As described above, as the probability variation jackpot result, the explicit probability variation jackpot result, the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, and the implicit probability variation jackpot result are set, so that the mode of the probability variation jackpot result is diversified. That is, when comparing the three types of probability variation jackpot results, the degree of advantage for the player is that the open / close execution mode is the high frequency winning mode and the support mode is the high frequency support mode. The explicit probability variation jackpot result is the highest in the support mode. Although there is no change, the unspecified probability change jackpot result that becomes the high frequency winning mode in the open / close execution mode is the next highest, the support mode does not change, and the unspecified 2R probability change jackpot that becomes the low frequency winning mode in the open / close execution mode The result is the lowest. As a result, the monotonousness of the game can be suppressed, and the degree of attention to the game can be increased.

In particular, in the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result, the support mode is maintained although the winning / failing lottery mode shifts to the high probability mode after the end of the open / close execution mode. Then, when the gaming state before shifting to the open / close execution mode is the normal gaming state, the winning / failing lottery mode becomes 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 make the player predict whether the winning / losing lottery mode is the high probability mode or the low probability mode, and it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the game.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10, when the result is a loss in the winning / losing lottery, the result is a normal loss result or a special loss result. In this case, in the normal deviation result that occurs with a relatively high probability when the deviation result is obtained, the opening / closing execution mode is not shifted, and the winning / failing lottery mode and the support mode are not changed.

On the other hand, if the special deviation result occurs with a relatively low probability when the deviation result is obtained, the special deviation state is obtained. In the special out-of-order state, the mode shifts to the open / close execution mode in the situation where the result is out of the winning / losing lottery. However, the opening / closing execution mode of the migration destination is a low-frequency winning mode. Therefore, even if the result is a special deviation, it cannot be expected that the game ball will win the big winning opening 22a.

After the opening / closing execution mode ends, the transition between the winning / failing lottery mode and the support mode does not occur.

By setting the special deviation result, the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, and the unspecified probability variation jackpot result as described above, the opening of the large winning opening 22a of the variable winning device 22 can be used as an effect. Here, instead of the open / close execution mode, if the winning / failing lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the low frequency support mode in the normal gaming state, and a special deviation result is obtained, the opening / closing execution is performed as the low frequency winning mode. It only shifts to the mode, and then returns to the normal gaming state. On the other hand, when the above-mentioned unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result occurs, the mode shifts to the open / close execution mode which is the low frequency winning mode, and after that, the support mode is the low frequency support mode but the winning / losing lottery mode is high. It becomes the probability mode. Then, the occurrence of the special deviation result and the occurrence of the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result under the normal game state shift to the open / close execution mode as the same low-frequency winning mode, and then the support mode becomes low-frequency support. The difference between the two is that in the former, the winning / failing lottery mode becomes the low probability mode, whereas in the latter, it becomes the high probability mode.

In addition, when a normal jackpot result is obtained, the mode shifts to the open / close execution mode as the high-frequency winning mode, and after that, the winning / losing lottery mode is the low-probability mode and the support mode is the low-frequency support mode. Return. On the other hand, under the above-mentioned normal game state, when an unspecified probability change jackpot result is obtained, the mode shifts to the open / close execution mode as the high-frequency winning mode, and then the support mode is the low-frequency support mode, but the winning / losing lottery mode. Is in 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 are caused by shifting to the open / close execution mode as the same high-frequency winning mode and then the support mode becomes low-frequency support. In common, the difference between the two is that in the former, the winning / failing lottery mode becomes the low probability mode, whereas in the latter, it becomes the high probability mode.

That is, under the normal gaming state, the occurrence of the special deviation result, the occurrence of the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, the occurrence of the normal jackpot result, and the occurrence of the unspecified probability variation jackpot result are the behavior of the variable winning device 22 and the occurrence of the lower operating port 24. The behavior of each movable object such as the behavior of the electric accessory 24a is common, and only the internal lottery state is different. As a result, when the open / close execution mode occurs under the normal game state, it becomes possible to imagine whether or not the winning / failing lottery mode shifts to the high probability mode after that, and the degree of attention to the game is increased. Is possible.

The reach random number counter C3 is configured to be incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 238, and return to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 238). The reach random number counter C3 is periodically updated, and is stored in the hold storage area 64b of the RAM 64 at the timing when the game ball wins the upper operating port 23 or the lower operating port 24. Then, it is decided whether or not to generate the reach based on the reach table stored in the reach table storage area of the ROM 63. However, in the game round to shift to the open / close execution mode, the MPU 62 determines the reach generation regardless of the value of the reach random number counter C3. The number of reach random number counters C3 corresponding to the occurrence of the reach display is the same in each game state, but may be set individually according to the game 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 the reach display may be set to be larger than that in the low frequency support mode.

Here, the reach display (reach state) includes a symbol display device 31 capable of performing variable display (or variable display) of a symbol (picture), and the open / close execution mode of the variable winning device 22 is a high-frequency winning mode. In the game machine in which the stop display result after the variable display is 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 is a display state for the player to think that the display state is a variable display state in which the special display result is likely to occur before the display is performed.

In other words, by stopping and displaying some of the symbols among the plurality of symbol rows displayed on the display screen of the symbol display device 31, a combination of jackpot symbols corresponding to the occurrence of the high frequency winning mode is established. It is a display state in which a combination of reach symbols that may be displayed is displayed, and in that state, a variable display of symbols is performed in the remaining symbol rows.

More specifically, as a preliminary step to end the variable display of the symbol, a combination of jackpot symbols corresponding to the occurrence of the high frequency winning mode is established on the preset effective 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 be formed, and in a situation where the reach line is formed, a variable display of symbols is performed by the final stop symbol sequence.

Specifically, the display contents of FIG. 6 will be described in detail. Either is valid when the variable display of the symbol is first completed in the upper symbol row Z1 and then the variable display of the symbol is completed in the lower symbol row Z3. A reach line is formed by stopping and displaying the main symbols with the same numbers on the lines L1 to L5, and in the situation where the reach line is formed, the variation display of the symbols is performed in the middle symbol column Z2. It becomes a reach display by being told. Then, when the high-frequency winning mode occurs, the main symbol having 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 variable display of the symbol is finished.

Further, in the reach display, in the state where the combination of reach symbols is displayed as described above, the remaining symbol rows are displayed in a variable manner, and a predetermined character or the like is displayed as a moving image on the background screen to reach the reach. Includes those that perform an effect, and those that perform a reach effect by displaying a predetermined character or the like as a moving image on substantially the entire display screen after reducing or hiding the combination of reach symbols. In addition, when the reach display is performed or before the reach display, it is determined whether or not to perform the notice display using a predetermined image such as a predetermined character by using the reach random number counter C3 or another counter. You may.

The variation type counter CS is configured to be incremented by 1 in order in the range of 0 to 198, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 198). The variation type counter CS is used in the MPU 62 to determine the variation display time in the result display unit 33a and the variation display time of the symbol in the symbol display device 31. The variation type counter CS is updated once every time the normal processing described later is executed once, and is repeatedly updated even within the remaining time in the normal processing. Then, the value of the fluctuation type counter CS is acquired when the fluctuation pattern is determined at the start of the fluctuation display on the result display unit 33a and at the start of the fluctuation of the symbol by the symbol display device 31.

The electric accessory release counter C4 is configured to be incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 250, reach the maximum value (that is, 250), and then return to 0. The electric accessory opening counter C4 is periodically updated, and is stored in the electric service holding area 64c of the RAM 64 at the timing when the 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 according to the value of the stored electric accessory opening 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 described above, in the MPU 62, the variation display time in the result display unit 33a is determined by using at least the value of the variation type counter CS, and the variation display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 is used in the determination. .. Further, in the MPU 62, the stop result in the result display unit 33a is determined by 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 aspect result table storage area 63d is used.

<About various processes executed by the main controller 60>
Next, the timer interrupt process and the normal process executed in advancing the game in each game time by the MPU 62 in the main control device 60 will be described. In the MPU 62, in addition to the timer interrupt processing and the normal processing, the main processing activated when the power is turned on and the NMI interrupt processing activated by inputting a power failure signal to the NMI terminal (non-maskable terminal) are executed. , The description of these processes will be omitted.

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

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

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

In the following step S103, 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 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 added by 1, and when the counter values reach the maximum values, they are cleared to 0, respectively. Then, the updated values of the counters C1 to C4 are stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64.

After that, in step S104, a winning process for passing through is executed in association with winning the through gate 25. In the winning process for through, the value of the electric accessory release counter C4 updated in step S103 is set to electric service hold on condition that the number of accessory hold storage stored in the electric service hold area is less than 4. Store in the area. Further, the voice lamp control device 90 is subjected to a process for lighting the second hold lamp unit 36 of the variable display unit 26 corresponding to the number of hold storages.

After that, in step S105, the winning process for the operating port accompanying the winning of the operating ports 23 and 24 is executed. In the winning process for the operating port, when the operating ports 23 and 24 have been won, the number of reserved storages stored in the holding storage area 64b is less than the upper limit (for example, "4"). On condition that, each 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 hold area RE of the hold storage area 64b. In this case, it is stored in the first holding area of the free holding areas RE1 to RE4 of the holding area RE.

In the following step S106, the process of storing the information input by the player in the pattern input unit 121 in the input display unit 120 in the pattern storage area 64g and the information stored in the pattern storage area 64g are displayed in the pattern display unit 122. Execution of processing After executing the pattern input processing, this timer interrupt processing 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 is executed, and in the normal process, the main process of the game is executed. As an outline, the processes of steps S201 to S208 are executed as periodic processes having a cycle of 4 msec, and the counter update processes of steps S209 and S210 are executed in the remaining time.

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

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

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

After that, in step S205, a game state transition process for shifting the game state is executed. Although the details will be described later, the game state shifts to the open / close execution mode, the high probability mode, the high frequency support mode, and the like by this game state transition process.

In step S206, an electric service support process for driving and controlling the electric accessory 24a provided in the lower operating port 24 is executed. In this electric service support process, it is determined whether or not the electric accessory 24a is to be opened, and the display control of the accessory display unit 34 is performed.

In the following step S207, a demo display process for making the display content of the symbol display device 31 for standby display is executed in a situation where both the game times and the open / close execution mode are not executed. Details of the demo display process will be described later.

In the following 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 from 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 execution timing of the next normal process (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 added by 1, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to 0. Then, the updated value of the random number initial value counter CINI is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 64. Further, in step S210, the variation type counter CS is updated. Specifically, the fluctuation type counter CS is added by 1, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value, it is cleared to 0. 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 fluctuates. Therefore, the random number initial value counter CINI (that is, the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1) can be randomly updated by repeatedly updating the random number initial value counter CINI using the remaining time, and similarly. The variable type counter CS can also be updated at random.

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

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

When the open / close execution mode is in progress, this game is performed without executing any of the processes after step S302, that is, the game round start process of steps S303 to S306 and the game round progress process of steps S307 to S316. Time Control processing ends. That is, in the open / close execution mode, the game round is not started regardless of whether or not the operating ports 23 and 24 have been won.

If the open / close execution mode is not in progress, step S302 determines whether or not the result display unit 33a is in the variable display. It should be noted that 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 variation display flag is stored when the variation display is started for the result display unit 33a, and is deleted when the variation display ends.

If the result display unit 33a is not displaying the fluctuation, the process proceeds to the game round start process of steps S303 to S306. In the game round start 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 held storages is not "0", the data stored in the holding area RE is set in the execution area AE in step S304, and the remaining data stored in the holding area RE is shifted to the lower area. After executing the data setting process for subtracting 1 from the number of reserved storages, and further executing the variation start process for starting the variation display on the result display unit 33a and the variation display on the symbol display device 31 in step S305, the step After clearing the search permission flag provided in the flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64 in S306, the game round control process ends.

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 in the result display unit 33a and the variation display in the symbol display device 31 are completed. Ru. The search for the input pattern will be described later.

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

In the fluctuation start process, first, in step S401, it is determined whether or not the winning / failing 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 open / close execution mode related to the occurrence of the probability variation jackpot result, and is deleted when the normal jackpot result occurs thereafter.

If it is not in the high probability mode, the pass / fail judgment is performed in step S402 with reference to the pass / fail table for the low probability mode. 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 winning / failing table for the low probability mode as shown in FIG. 8A. Judge whether or not. On the other hand, in the case of the high probability mode, the pass / fail judgment is performed in step S403 with reference to the pass / fail table for the high probability mode. 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 winning / failing table for the high probability mode as shown in FIG. 8B. Judge whether or not.

After the process of step S402 or step S403, in steps S404 to S410, the process for setting the game result of the current game time is executed, and the result display unit 33a is executed in the current game time. Execute processing for setting the stop result when ending the fluctuation display. 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 first aspect result table will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. FIG. 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 unspecified 2R probability variation. 14 (c) is a first-mode result table for explicit probability variation, and FIG. 14 (d) is a first-mode result table for non-explicit probability variation. Further, FIG. 15 is a first-mode result table for disengagement, FIG. 15 (a) is a first-mode result table for special disengagement, and FIG. 15 (b) is a first-mode result table for normal disengagement. Is.

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

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

A jackpot type counter is provided for each of the first mode result table for normal jackpot, the first mode result table for unspecified 2R probability variation, the first mode result table for explicit probability variation, and the first mode result table for unspecified probability variation. The correspondence between the value of C2 and the result data of the first aspect is stored. Specifically, the address of the first aspect result data is stored in association with the value of the jackpot type counter C2.

For each first aspect result table, in detail, in the first aspect result table for normal jackpot, as shown in FIG. 14A, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponding to the normal jackpot result is set. Of "0 to 46", "0" is the first aspect result data of the data 1, "1" is the first aspect result data of the data 2, ..., "45" is the first aspect of the data 46. In the result data, "46" corresponds to the first aspect result data of the data 47.

In the first aspect result table for the unspecified 2R probability variation, as shown in FIG. 14B, of "47 to 142" set as the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result. Among them, "47" is the first aspect result data of the data 48, "48" is the stop result data of the data 49, ..., "65" is the first aspect result data of the data 66, and "66" is. It corresponds to the first aspect result data of the data 67. From "67", it returns to the data 48, and corresponds to the first aspect result data of the data 48 to the data 67 in order for each value of 20.

As shown in FIG. 14C, in the first aspect result table for explicit probability variation, among "143 to 166" set as the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponding to the explicit probability variation jackpot result, "143". Is the first aspect result data of the data 68, "144" is the first aspect result data of the data 69, ..., "165" is the first aspect result data of the data 90, and "166" is the data 91. It corresponds to the first aspect result data of.

As shown in FIG. 14 (d), in the first-mode result table for unspecified probability variation, among "167 to 226" set as the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponding to the implicit probability variation jackpot result, "167" is the first aspect result data of the data 92, "168" is the stop result data of the data 93, ..., "185" is the first aspect result data of the data 110, and "186" is the data 111. It corresponds to the first aspect result data of. From "187", the data 92 is returned, and each of the 20 values corresponds to the first aspect result data of the data 92 to 111.

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

In addition, each first aspect result data is data corresponding to an aspect in which 2 to 4 segments are made to emit light by the result display unit 33a. The reason why the data corresponding to the mode in which all the seven segments are made to 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 then inputs the data to the pattern input unit 121. This is to prevent the work from becoming complicated.

However, if the display modes in the result display unit 33a are diversified with only 2 to 4 segments, the types of display modes corresponding to each type of lottery result are reduced, and the player can display the result in the pattern input unit 121. It becomes easy to memorize the information of the display mode of 33a without inputting it. In this case, the player will not play the game using the input display unit 120.

Therefore, by sharing the stop results in the first display segment A1 to the seventh display segment A7 between the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result and the unspecified probability variation jackpot result, the display mode corresponding to each type of lottery result can be obtained. While it is possible to prevent the number of types from being reduced, it is possible to prevent the player from becoming complicated in the input work to the pattern input unit 121.

Even when the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result and the implicit probability variation jackpot result having the same first aspect result data are set as described above, the result display unit 33a is obtained by confirming the information of the second aspect. It is possible to determine which lottery result the stop result in.

Specifically, when the stop result is displayed in the mode in which the ninth display segment A9 is made 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 for light is not emitted, it indicates that the stop result corresponds to the off result. Therefore, when the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or the stop result corresponding to the unspecified probability variation jackpot result is displayed on the result display unit 33a, the stop result is an embodiment in which the ninth display segment A9 is made to emit light. There is. Further, when the stop result is displayed in the mode in which the ninth display segment A9 is made to emit light and the stop result is displayed in the mode in which the eighth display segment A8 is made to emit light, the stop result is a normal jackpot and an explicit probability variation jackpot. Alternatively, it indicates that it corresponds to an unspecified probability variation jackpot, and the stop result is displayed in a mode in which the ninth display segment A9 is made to emit light but the eighth display segment A8 is not made to emit light. In the case, it is shown that the stop result corresponds to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot.

That is, when a stop result including any predetermined data of data 48 to 67 and data 92 to 111 is displayed on the result display unit 33a, the stop result is the eighth display segment A8 and the ninth. If the display segment A9 emits light, it is a stop result corresponding to the unspecified jackpot result, and if the display segment A8 does not emit light and only the ninth display segment A9 emits light, it is unspecified 2R. This is the stop result corresponding to the probability change jackpot. Therefore, the player or the hall manager can determine the content of the lottery result by checking the stop result displayed on the result display unit 33a.

As shown in FIG. 15A, in the result table of the first aspect for special deviation, among "0 to 238" set as the value of the jackpot type counter C2, the first aspect for jackpot already described. Similar to the result table, "0 to 46" corresponds to the first mode result data referring to the first mode result table for normal jackpot, and "47 to 142" corresponds to the first mode result for unspecified 2R probability variation. Corresponding to the first aspect result data referring to the table, "143 to 166" corresponds to the first aspect result data referring to the first aspect result table for explicit probability variation, and "167 to 238" corresponds to the first aspect result data. Corresponds to the first aspect result data with reference to the first aspect result table for implicit probability variation.

When determining the first aspect result by referring to the first aspect result table for special deviation, the value of the table reference data corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is used as the value of the new jackpot type counter C2 for each jackpot. Refer to the first aspect result table of. The table reference data is provided in the ROM 63 and has a numerical range of 0 to 238 like the jackpot type counter C2.

The value of the table reference data when the first aspect result table for a normal jackpot is referred to will be described. Normally, the first-mode result table for jackpot probability variation is provided with 47 first-mode results corresponding to the values of the jackpot type counter C2. The values of the table reference data are provided corresponding to the predetermined 23 first mode results out of the 47 first mode results. The other 24 first-mode results are not associated with each other when referring to the first-mode result table for special deviation.

When the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponds to "0 to 46", the value of the table reference data is associated with the value in the range of "0 to 22". Specifically, among "0 to 46" set as the value of the jackpot type counter C2, "0" is the table reference data "0" and "1" is the table reference data "1". In addition, "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" is the table reference data "0", "24" is the table reference data "1", and so on. “44” corresponds to the table reference data “21”, and “45” corresponds to the table reference data “22”. "46" corresponds to "0" of the table reference data.

Returning to the description of the variation start process (FIG. 13), after the process of step S402 or step S403, in step S404, it is determined whether or not the result of the lottery in step S402 or step S403 is a big hit. If the jackpot is won, in steps S405 to S409, a process for setting the game result and a process for setting the stop result in the case of the jackpot winning 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 the numerical range of the normal jackpot result, the numerical range of the unspecified 2R probability variable jackpot result, the numerical range of the explicit probability variable jackpot result, and the unspecified probability variable jackpot. Determine which of the numerical ranges of the result is included.

Execute the stop result setting process for the probabilistic jackpot.

The stop result setting process for the probabilistic jackpot 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 variation jackpot result.

When an affirmative determination is made in step S501, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is set to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE with reference to the first aspect result table for explicit probability variation already described in step S502. The address information of the corresponding first aspect result data is acquired, and the address information is stored in the first aspect result address storage area of the RAM 64 in step S503. After that, 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 above-sorted game result is an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result. In the case of an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is referred to in the first mode result table for the unspecified 2R probability variation already described in step S506.

After that, in step S508, the unspecified 2R probabilistic flag storage area in each flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64 stores the unspecified 2R probabilistic flag, and then the stop result setting process ends.

When a negative determination is made in step S505, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is set to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE with reference to the first aspect result table for unspecified probability variation already described in step S509. The address information of the corresponding first aspect result data is acquired, and the address information is stored in the first aspect result address storage area of the RAM 64 in step S510. After that, in step S511, the implicit probability change flag is stored in the implicit probability change flag storage area in each flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64, and then the stop result setting process ends.

Returning to the description of the fluctuation 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 distributed 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 aspect 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 aspect result table for the normal jackpot already described. The address information is stored in the result address storage area of the first aspect of the RAM 64. After that, 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 ends. After that, the process proceeds to step S411.

If the result of the lottery in step S402 or step S403 is not a big hit, a negative determination is made in step S404 and the process proceeds to step S410. In step S410, a stop result setting process for an out-of-order time is executed to set which first mode result is displayed on the result display unit 33a in the current game time, which is an out-of-court result, to end the variation display. To do.

The stop result setting process for the case of disconnection 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 the following step S602, it is determined whether or not the result of this lottery is a special result. Specifically, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE is confirmed, and if the value corresponds to the special deviation result, in steps S603 to S605, the game in the case of the special deviation result. The process for setting the result and the process for setting the stop result 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 first aspect result table for special deviation already described, and step S604 The address information is stored in the result address storage area of the first aspect of the RAM 64. After that, in step S605, the special deviation flag is stored in the special deviation flag storage area in each flag storage area 64e of the RAM 64, and then the stop result setting process ends.

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

Returning to the description of the fluctuation 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 result display unit 33a executes a variable display time setting process for setting the variable display time of the current game times.

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 following step S702, it is determined whether or not the reach display is generated by the symbol display device 31 in this game round. Specifically, it is determined whether or not any of the implicit probability variation flag, the implicit probability variation flag, the explicit probability variation flag, the normal jackpot flag, and the special deviation flag is stored in the RAM 64. If any of the flags is stored, a positive determination is made in step S702 as a reach display occurs. Even if none of the above flags are 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 reach display is generated. As a result, an affirmative determination is made in step S702.

If an affirmative 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 is either an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or a special deviation result. In the case of either an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or a special deviation result, the variation of this time is referred to in the first variation display time table stored in the variation display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 in step S704. The fluctuation display time information corresponding to the value of the type counter CS is acquired.

Here, as already explained, in the case of a special deviation result under the normal gaming state and 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 the case where the result is a special deviation result and the case where the result is an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, the reach display is generated in the variation display of the symbol on the symbol display device 31, and further, the variation of the game times. By referring to the common variation display time table when determining the display time, the variation display time of the symbol in the result display unit and the symbol display device 31 becomes common.

On the other hand, if the game result of this game is neither an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result nor a special deviation 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 unspecified probability variable jackpot result. If either the normal jackpot result or the unspecified probability variation jackpot result is obtained, the variation type of this time is referred to in the second variation display time table stored in the variation display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 in step S706. The fluctuation display time information corresponding to the value of the counter CS is acquired.

Here, as described above, in the case of a normal jackpot result and the case of an unspecified probability variable jackpot result 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 described. The behavior of each movable object is common, and only the internal lottery state is different. In this case, in both cases where the result is a normal jackpot result and the result is an unspecified probability variable jackpot result, a reach display is generated in the variable display of the symbol on the symbol display device 31, and further, the variable display time of the game times is generated. By referring to the common variation display time table in determining the above, 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 this game is neither a normal jackpot result nor an unspecified probability variable jackpot result, the other variable display time stored in the variable display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 in step S707. With reference to the table, the fluctuation display time information corresponding to the value of the current fluctuation type counter CS is acquired.

If a negative determination is made in step S702, the process proceeds to step S708. In step S708, the number of reserved storages is grasped. In the following step S709, it is determined whether or not the high frequency support mode is used. 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 terminated in the game state transition process described later.

If the high-frequency support flag is not stored, in step S710, the variation display time table for low-frequency support stored in the variation display time table storage area 63c of the ROM 63 is referred to, and this variation is performed. Acquires the variable display time information corresponding to the value of the type counter CS and the number of reserved storages. The variable display time is set to be shorter as the number of reserved storages is larger.

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

As mentioned above, when the reach display does not occur, by changing the variable display time table to be referred to depending on whether or not it is in the high frequency support mode, a special deviation result is obtained under the normal gaming state. In the case where the result is an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot, the variation display time of the symbol in the result display unit 33a and the symbol display device 31 in the subsequent game rounds is the same.

In addition, the first variable display time table, the second variable display time table, other variable display time tables, the variable display time table for low frequency support, and the variable display time table for high frequency support include variable type counters. The fluctuation display time and the high-speed fluctuation time are set according to the value of CS. In the symbol display device 31, when the symbol variation display is started, the display of all the symbol sequences Z1 to Z3 is switched between the high-speed variation display and the low-speed variation display at a predetermined time. 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 low-speed fluctuation display is switched 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 ends in all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3, the final stop result is displayed. In each fluctuation display time table, as the high-speed fluctuation time, the time from the start of the high-speed fluctuation display of the middle symbol sequence Z2 in the symbol display device 31 to the switching to the low-speed fluctuation display is stored.

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

Returning to the description of the variation start process (FIG. 13), after step S411, the variation start command is set in step S412. The fluctuation start command includes information on whether or not reach has occurred and information on the fluctuation display time.

In the following step S413, the type command setting process for setting the type command corresponding to the lottery result this time is executed. The type command includes information on the game result. That is, in the type command, as the game result information, the explicit probability variation jackpot result information, the normal jackpot result information, the implicit probability variation jackpot result information, the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result information, the special missed result information, 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 result of the lottery this time corresponds to a normal deviation or a special deviation.

When an affirmative determination is made in step S801, it is determined in step S802 whether or not the value of the jackpot type counter C2 corresponds to "47 to 142, 167 to 238".

If an affirmative judgment is made in step S802, a type command corresponding to the 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 unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result and the unspecified probability variation jackpot result. It notifies that the contents are the same. 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 on the 7-segment display. Please use the input button at the bottom left to memorize the symbol information." Is displayed as characters. As a result, the player can recognize that the symbol displayed on the result display unit 33a is the information of the display mode corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or the unspecified probability variation jackpot result, and the pattern input unit 121. It becomes possible to recognize that the information of the input pattern input to is memorable. In addition, the type command corresponding to the character notification includes information on whether the game times this time correspond to the normal deviation or the special deviation.

In the following step S804, the character notification flags provided in the various flag storage areas 64e of the RAM 64 are set. The character notification flag is a flag indicating that the effect for the game round corresponding to the lottery result this time corresponds to the character notification, and is cleared when the variable display time elapses.

If a negative determination is made in step S802, a type command that does not correspond to character notification is set in step S805. Further, the type command that does not correspond to the character notification includes information as to whether the current game round corresponds to the normal deviation or the special deviation, as in the type command corresponding to the character notification.

If a negative determination is made in step S801, a type command corresponding to the jackpot type is set in step S806. In addition, the type command corresponding to the type of jackpot includes information on whether the game round this time corresponds to a normal jackpot, an explicit probability variable jackpot, a 2R unspecified probability variable jackpot, or an implicit probability variable jackpot.

After the execution of step S804, step S805 or step S806, the command setting process for this type is terminated.

The fluctuation start command and the type command set in step S412 or step S413 are transmitted to the voice lamp control device 90 in step S201 in the normal process (FIG. 11). The voice lamp control device 90 determines the content of the effect in the game round based on the received fluctuation start command and type command, and controls various devices so that the content of the determined effect is executed. The content of this effect includes a variation display mode of the symbol on the symbol display device 31, and the determined variation 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. Will be done. The display control device 100 controls the display of the symbol display device 31 so that the variable display of the symbol corresponding to each game is performed based on the display content command received from the voice lamp control device 90.

The content of the effect executed by the symbol display device 31 differs depending on the content of the type command, and the effect corresponding to the explicit probability variation jackpot result and the implicit probability variation jackpot result are clearly different, but are not specified. Approximately the same effect is set for the effect corresponding to the probability variation jackpot result and the normal jackpot result. In addition, substantially the same effect is set for the effect corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result and the special deviation result.

In addition, the result display unit 33a continues to display the previous lottery result until a new fluctuation is started, and the winning result of the big hit continues to be displayed even during the big hit.

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

Returning to the description of the game round control process (FIG. 12), when the result display unit 33a is in the variable display, the game round progress process of steps S307 to S310 is executed. In the game round progress process, first, in step S307, it is determined whether or not the variation display time of the current game round has elapsed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the value of the fluctuation display time information stored in the fluctuation display time counter area of the RAM 64 is "0". As described above, the value of the variable display time information is set in the variable display time setting process (FIG. 18). Further, the value of the set fluctuation display time information is decremented by 1 each time the timer interrupt process (FIG. 10) is activated.

If the variation display time has not elapsed, the variation display process is executed in step S308. In the variable display processing, the result display unit is displayed and controlled (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 related to the current game round. .. For example, regarding the result display unit 33a, 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 → ... Each display segment A1 to A9 blinks in the order of. After that, the game round control process is terminated.

In the following step S309, it is determined whether or not the high-speed fluctuation time has elapsed. The high-speed fluctuation time means that in the effect for game rounds executed by the symbol display device 31, the variation display of all the symbols Z1 to Z3 is started, and the upper symbol row Z1, the middle symbol row Z2, and the lower symbol row Z3 are slow. It is the time until the variable display is displayed.

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 the execution of step S310, the game times control process ends.

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

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

In the following step S902, the information of the display segment to be lit in the 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 the following step S903, it is determined whether or not the lottery result this time corresponds to a big hit. Specifically, it is confirmed whether or not the normal jackpot flag, the explicit probability change flag, the implicit 2R probability change flag, or the implicit probability change 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 the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the unspecified 2R probability variation flag is set.

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

When an affirmative determination is made in step S904, in step S906, the information on the display modes of the display segments A1 to A7 confirmed in step S902 is turned on for the information of the first mode, and the ninth display segment A9 is turned on. 8 The stop result is displayed on the result display unit 33a as the information of the mode in which the display segment A8 is not turned on as the information of the second mode.

As described above, the first aspect results of the first display segment A1 to the seventh display segment A7 are the same for the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot and the non-explicit probability variation jackpot. By making the 8th display segment A8 emit light in the case of an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot and not emitting the 8th display segment A8 in the case of an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot, the lottery result is displayed on the result display unit 33a. It is possible to distinguish.

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

Further, the lottery result has a common mode for the first mode result depending on whether the lottery result is a big hit or a miss, but the eighth display segment A8 and the ninth display segment A9 which are the second stop results. The lottery result can be determined by the result display unit 33a by making at least the ninth display segment A9 emit light at the time of a big hit and not emitting light at both segments at the time of a big hit.

After the execution of step S905, step S906, and step S907, the variable end processing is terminated.

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

In the following 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 to accept the input to the pattern input unit 121, and is cleared after the high-speed fluctuation display of the symbol in the next game round.

In the following 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 round control process ends.

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

First, in step S1001, it is determined whether or not the open / close execution mode is in progress. If it is not in the open / close 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 on the result display unit 33a of the game round of 1 is completed. If it is not the timing when the variation display is finished, the game state transition process is finished as it is.

When it is the timing when the variation display is finished, in step S1003, it is determined whether or not the game result of the current game times corresponds to the transition to the open / close execution mode. Specifically, it is determined whether or not any of the implicit 2R probability variation flag, the implicit probability variation flag, the explicit probability variation flag, the normal jackpot flag, and the special deviation flag is stored in the RAM 64. If none of the above flags is stored, the game state transition process is terminated as it is.

When any of the above flags is stored, the start processing of the open / close execution mode is executed in step S1004. In the start process, an opening waiting time (starting waiting period) for waiting without starting the opening of the large winning opening 22a of the variable winning device 22 for the opening of the opening / closing execution mode is set. 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 64d of the RAM 64. In this case, the waiting time information set differs depending on whether the opening / closing execution mode is the high-frequency winning mode, and the waiting time information is different in the low-frequency winning mode than in the high-frequency winning mode. It is set to be short. For example, in the high frequency winning mode, the count value of the waiting time information is set so that the waiting time is 1 sec, and in the low frequency winning mode, the count value of the waiting time information is set so that the waiting time is 0.2 sec. Is set. The value of the waiting time information set here is decremented by 1 each time the timer interrupt process (FIG. 10) is executed.

In the following step S1005, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing execution mode this time is the high-frequency winning mode. Specifically, it is determined whether or not any of the explicit probability variation flag, the normal jackpot flag, and the non-explicit probability variation flag is stored in the RAM 64. In the case of not the high frequency winning mode, that 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 large winning opening 22a is opened.

On the other hand, in the case of the high frequency winning mode, in step S1007, it is determined whether or not the current winning / losing 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 processing of step S1006, step S1008, or step S1009, in step S1010, the round display start processing for notifying the type of the opening / closing execution mode this time 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. After that, the content of the confirmed number of rounds is output to the round display unit 33b. As a result, the round display unit 33b displays the round information related to the output.

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

In the following step S1012, after executing the external signal setting process, the game 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, and the normal jackpot flag is stored in the RAM 64, and any of the flags is stored. In this case, by transmitting the signal corresponding to the jackpot to the management control device on the game hall side, 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 or not any of the implicit 2R probability variation flag, the implicit probability variation flag, the explicit probability variation flag, the normal jackpot flag, and the special deviation flag is stored in the RAM 64, and any of them is stored. When the flag is stored, the signal corresponding to the jackpot and the special loss is transmitted to the management control device on the game hall side, so that the pachinko machine 10 has generated the open / close execution mode in the management control device. Can be grasped.

On the other hand, if the open / close execution mode is not in progress, 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 waiting time for the opening has elapsed. If the waiting time for the opening has not elapsed, the game state transition process is terminated as it is. If the waiting time for the opening has elapsed, the large winning opening opening / closing process is executed in step S1014. Here, the large 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 large winning opening 22a is being opened. Specifically, such a determination is made based on the driving state of the variable winning driving unit 22c. When the large winning opening 22a is not open, it is determined in step S1102 whether or not the value of the round counter area RC is "0", and whether or not the value of the timer area T is "0" in step S1103. To judge.

If the value of the round counter area RC is "0" or the value of the timer area T is not "0", the opening / closing process of the main winning opening is terminated as it is. On the other hand, when 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 winning drive unit 22c is driven to open the large winning opening 22a. Make it a state.

In the following step S1105, the setting process 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 high-frequency winning mode, in step S1202, in order to measure the opening / closing timing for opening / closing the large winning opening 22a, the timer area T provided in the various counter areas 64d of the RAM 64 is set to “7500” (that is, 30 sec. ) Is set. The count value set here is decremented by 1 each time the timer interrupt process (FIG. 13) is started, that is, in a cycle of 4 msec. In the following 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 balls in the large winning opening 22a. After that, this setting process ends.

In the case of not the high frequency winning mode, that is, the low frequency winning mode, "50" (that is, 0.2 sec) is set in the timer area T in step S1204.

In the following step S1205, it is determined whether or not the special deviation 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 a positive determination is made in step S1205, this setting process ends.

After executing the setting process for each round in the large winning opening opening / closing process (FIG. 22), the opening command is set in step S1106 to end the main winning opening opening / closing process. This set release command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 90 in step S201 in the normal process (FIG. 11). This release command contains information on whether it is a high frequency winning mode or a low frequency winning mode. Based on the received release command, the voice lamp control device 90 determines the content of the effect corresponding to the high-frequency winning mode, and controls various devices so that the content of the determined effect is executed.

If the large winning opening is open in step S1101, the process proceeds to step S1107 to determine whether or not the value of the timer area T is "0". When the value of the timer area T is not "0", it is determined in step S1108 whether or not the 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 prize has been won, the opening / closing process of the main prize opening is terminated as it is. On the other hand, when a prize has been generated, the value of the prize counter area PC is decremented by 1 in step S1109, and then it is determined in step S1110 whether or not the value of the prize counter area PC is "0". If it is not "0", the opening / closing process of the main prize opening is terminated as it is.

When the value of the winning counter area PC is "0" in step S1110, it means that the condition for closing the winning opening is satisfied. In such a case, in step S1111 it is determined whether or not the special off 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.

When the value of the timer area T is "0" in step S1107, when a negative determination is made in step S1111, or after the execution of step S1112, the variable winning drive unit 22c is used to close the large winning opening 22a in step S1113. Is in the non-driving state.

In the following step S1114, the value of the round counter area RC is decremented by 1.

In the following 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.

In the high frequency winning mode, the timer area T is set to "500" (that is, 2 sec) in step S1117, and in the low frequency winning mode, the timer area T is set to "50" in step S1118. (That is, 0.2 sec) is set. That is, in the low-frequency winning mode, the time during which the large winning opening 22a is closed during the round is set shorter than that in the high-frequency winning mode. After that, the closing command is set in step S1119, and the opening / closing process of the main winning opening is completed. This set closing command is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 90 in step S201 in the normal process (FIG. 11). This closure command contains information on whether the mode is high frequency winning mode or low frequency winning mode. Based on the received closing command, the voice lamp control device 90 determines the content of the effect corresponding to the high-frequency winning mode, and controls various devices so that the content of the determined effect is executed.

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

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

Returning to the description of the game state transition process (FIG. 21), after executing the large winning opening 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”, and the step In S1016, it is determined whether or not the waiting time for the ending has elapsed. If the value of the round counter area RC is not "0" or the waiting time for the ending has not elapsed, the game state transition process is terminated as it is.

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

First, in step S1301, it is determined whether or not the unspecified probabilistic flag or the unspecified 2R probabilistic flag is stored in the RAM 64. If any 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 the gaming state in which the winning / losing lottery mode is the high probability mode. The support mode is not changed, and when the mode shifts to the open / close execution mode, the support mode of the game times that results in the unspecified probability change jackpot result or the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result is maintained after the end of the open / close execution mode.

If it is determined in step S1301 that neither the implicit probability variation flag nor the implicit 2R probability variation flag is stored, it is determined in step S1303 whether or not the explicit probability variation flag is stored. When 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, and then the transition process is terminated. As a result, the game state shifts to the game state in which the winning / failing 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 or not the normal jackpot flag is stored. When the normal jackpot flag is stored, the high-frequency support mode flag is stored in step S1307, and the high-frequency support flag is cleared in step S1308, and then the transition process is terminated. As a result, the game state shifts to the game state in which the winning / failing 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 main transition process is terminated as it is. That is, when a special deviation result occurs and the mode shifts to the open / close execution mode, the game state of the game times resulting in the special deviation result is maintained after the end of the open / close execution mode.

Returning to the description of the game state transition process (FIG. 21), after the transition process at the end of the open / close execution mode in step S1017 is completed, the round display end process is executed 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 on the round display unit 33b is started when the open / close execution mode is started, and ends when the open / close execution mode is ended. In this case, when the opening / closing execution mode is the low-frequency winning mode, the number of times the large winning opening 22a is opened / closed is smaller than that of the high-frequency winning mode, and the opening time and closing time of the large winning opening 22a are set shorter. .. Therefore, the period during which the content of the number of rounds is displayed on the round display unit 33b is shorter than that in the high-frequency winning mode. Furthermore, the result display stopped and displayed on the result display unit 33a is started when the game round ends, and continues until the next game round is started. Therefore, when shifting to the open / close 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 after the content of the number of rounds is displayed. Will be continued. That is, the result display is maintained for a longer period of time than the display of the content of the number of rounds.

After that, in step S1019, after executing the end processing of the open / close execution mode, the main game state transition process is ended. In the end processing of the open / close execution mode, if the open / close execution mode flag, the unspecified 2R probability change flag, the unspecified probability change flag, the explicit probability change flag, the normal jackpot flag, and the special deviation flag are stored, they are deleted and also If it is not already stored, it keeps its state.

<Pattern input processing>
Next, the pattern input process in 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 the input buttons 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, the input counter provided in the RAM 64 is added by 1 in step S1402.

In the following step S1403, it is determined whether or not the value of the input counter is 250. That is, it is determined whether or not 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.

The input information storage area 64f is a storage area for storing the input state of each of the input buttons B1 to B7, as described above. 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 respective input buttons B1 to B7, and the 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 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, and if it is in the non-input state, the information is changed to the information corresponding to the input state. 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 following step S1405, the light emitting process 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 correspond to the non-input state. Turn off the LED of B7.

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

When a negative determination is made in step S1403 or after the execution of step S1406, it is determined in step S1407 whether or not the pattern input permission flag is stored. 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 the state in which 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 in step S1409 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.

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 each input state of the input buttons B1 to B7, and has a storage capacity of 7 bits corresponding to each of the input buttons B1 to B7. In the unit area for the input pattern, the bit value corresponding to each input button B1 to B7 indicates the same input state as the bit value in the unit area for the input state, and "0" is in the non-input state. "1" corresponds to the input state.

Each unit area for an input pattern is 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 20th unit area, a new input pattern cannot be added.

In step S1409, by comparing the information stored in all the unit areas of the input information storage area 64f with the information stored in each unit area of the pattern storage area 64g, whether or not both information are the same. Is determined. Specifically, the 7-bit information stored in the unit area for the input state and the 7-bit information stored in each unit area for the input pattern corresponding to the input buttons B1 to B7 are stored. 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, the storage pattern addition process is executed in step S1410, and the information stored in the input information storage area 64f is added to the free 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 the execution of step S1410, the stored contents of the input information storage area 64f are cleared in step S1411, so that all the input states corresponding to the input buttons B1 to B7 are not set. It is in the input state and waits for a new input from the player.

When a negative determination is made in step S1407, when a negative determination is made in step S1408, or after the execution of step S1411, it is determined in step S1412 whether or not the search permission flag is stored in the RAM 64.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S1412, the search initialization process 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 that summarizes the information stored in the unit area for the seven input states is set as the search target information.

In the comparison target information setting process, the information in which the input pattern is 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 following step S1414, the bits corresponding to the same input buttons B1 to B7 of the search target information and the comparison target information at the timing when the search permission flag is stored are calculated by the logical product circuit.

In the following 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 comparison target information this time is information including the search target information, and the process proceeds to step S1416.

In step S1416, the RAM 64 stores which information among the unit areas for the 20 input patterns is the information including the search target information.

When a negative determination is made in step S1415 or after the execution of step S1416, it is determined in step S1417 whether or not other information to be compared is stored in the pattern storage area 64g. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1417, the processes of steps S1414 to S1417 are repeatedly executed.

When a negative determination is made in step S1412, it is assumed that the information stored in the unit area for all 20 input patterns is the information including the search target information in step S1419, and the result is stored in the RAM 64. ..

When a negative determination is made in step S1417 or after the execution of step S1419, the search result display process is executed in step S1418. In the process for displaying the search result, the pattern display unit 122 displays the 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 step S1416 and step S1419. Executes the process to be displayed on. After the execution of step S1418, the pattern input process ends.

By storing the content of the input pattern of 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 good. As a result, for example, if there is a stop result corresponding to the jackpot in the result display unit 33a that the player knows, the pattern is displayed by inputting it to the pattern input unit 121 and storing it in the input information storage area 64f. It is possible to compare the content displayed in the unit 122 with the stop result for each lottery process in the result display unit 33a.

Further, when the search permission flag is stored, by inputting a pattern to the pattern input unit 121, if the information including a part of the input pattern is stored in the pattern storage area 64g, the input is input. It was decided to display only the information corresponding to the pattern. As a result, when the information corresponding to the plurality of input patterns is displayed on the pattern display unit 122, whether or not the player stores the input pattern information including the predetermined input pattern among the plurality of information. Can be searched. As a result, it is possible to shorten the time when searching for an input pattern including a predetermined input pattern from a plurality of input patterns.

<Demo display processing>
The demo display process will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 26.

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

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

The demo display state means that the symbol display device 31 has already performed the demo display (that is, the standby display), and the demo display flag of the MPU 62 is stored. Further, the demo display is a predetermined demo waiting time (for example, after the confirmation time elapses after displaying the stop result of the previous game round or after the ending of the previous open / close execution mode is completed. When 0.1 sec) has elapsed, the image of the start waiting effect is displayed on the display screen of the symbol display device 31, and the display lamp unit 54 and the speaker unit 55 perform the effect accordingly.

By the way, in the demo display in the symbol display device 31, an image in which the symbol displayed on the effective line performs a predetermined operation is displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the symbol is a predetermined one. After or instead of displaying the operating image, a moving image with a manufacturer name, a model name, or a predetermined character may be displayed.
If it is determined in step S1502 that the demo display state is not present, the demo display start counter is incremented by 1 in step S1503. The demo display start counter is a counter that measures the period from the occurrence of a situation in which the effect for the game round is not executed and the open / close execution mode is not executed.

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

The demo start command is a command for causing the voice lamp control device 90 to recognize that it is time to start the demo display. When the voice lamp control device 90 receives the demo start command, the voice lamp control device 90 executes a process for setting the voice light emission pattern of the effect system corresponding to the demo start command. Specifically, a data table for causing the effect corresponding to the demo display to be performed through the display lamp unit 54 and the speaker unit 55 is read from the ROM of the audio lamp control device 90, and the demo display is performed according to the read data table. Is produced by the display lamp unit 54 and the speaker unit 55. Further, the voice lamp control device 90 transmits a production-related command corresponding to the demo start command to the display control device 100. The display control device 100 reads a data table from the ROM of the display control device 100 so that the effect for demo display is performed through the symbol display device 31 from the command, and the effect for demo display is performed 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 the execution of step S1506, the demo display process ends.

If it is determined in step S1502 that the demo display state is in effect, the reset counter provided in the RAM 64 is incremented by 1 in step S1507. The reset counter is a counter that measures the period from the start of the demo display state.

In the following step S1508, it is determined whether or not the reset counter is "7500". That is, it is determined whether or not 30 seconds have passed since the demo display state was started. If a negative determination is made in step S1508, the demo 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 (here, 30 seconds) elapses after the player stops the game and shifts to the demo display state.

If a negative determination is made in step S1501, the demo display start counter and reset counter are cleared to "0" in step S1511, the demo display flag is cleared in the following step S1512, and then the demo display process ends. To do.

<Variable display control processing>
Next, the variable display control process executed by the display control device 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 27.

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 symbol for one game, and is transmitted from the main control device 60. When the change end command is received, the process of finally stopping and displaying the change display of the symbol is executed. Further, in the variable display control process, a process of appropriately modifying 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 device 31 is executing the variable display of the symbols for one game. When the variation display of the symbol for one game is not performed, it is determined in step S1602 whether or not the variation start command transmitted from the main control device 60 is received. If the fluctuation start command has not been received, the fluctuation display control process is terminated as it is. If the variation start command is received, the variation start process is executed in step S1603, and then the variation display control process ends. In the variation start process, the lottery result is determined based on the received variation start command and the 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 the character notification, an input notification flag indicating that the command corresponds to the 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 variation display of the symbol for one game is performed, it is determined in step S1604 whether or not the variation end command transmitted from the main control device 60 is received. If the variation end command has not been received, the variation display control process ends after executing the variable intermediate process for executing the predetermined notification when the input notification flag is stored in step S1605. .. When the variable end command is received, the final stop display command is output in step S1606 to cause the symbol display device 31 to execute the final stop display. To finish.

Hereinafter, the fluctuation start processing in step S1603 and the fluctuation intermediate processing in step S1605 will be described in detail.

<Process for starting fluctuation>
First, the fluctuation start processing in step S1603 will be described. The variation start process is a process for starting the variation display of the symbol 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 the information on the presence / absence of reach occurrence and the information on the fluctuation display time are specified from the command. Further, as described above, when the main control device 60 transmits the fluctuation start command, it also transmits the type command. Therefore, in step S1701, the type command received together with the fluctuation start command received this time is read, and from the command, information on the probability variation jackpot result, information on the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result, information on the unspecified probability variation jackpot result, normal Identify game result information such as jackpot result information, normal miss result information, or special miss result information. Then, in step S1701, from the above-specified information, information on whether or not a jackpot has been won, information on the type of jackpot if the jackpot has been won, information on whether or not a reach has occurred if the jackpot has not been won, and information on the fluctuation display time. The presence or absence of information and character notification is grasped, and the grasped information is stored in the register of MPU62.

In the following step S1702, it is determined whether or not the command determined in step S1701 corresponds to the character notification. When the character notification is supported, the 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 the execution of step S1703, the stop result setting process is executed in step S1704.

In the stop result setting process, the stop line determination process, the symbol combination determination process, and the stop information address information storage process are executed. Here, as described above in the pachinko machine 10, five effective lines L1 to L5 are set on the display screen G of the symbol display device 31, and when the result is an explicit probability variation jackpot result or a normal jackpot result, The combination of jackpot symbols is stopped and displayed on one of the effective lines. In addition, if the reach is displayed even if neither the explicit probability variation jackpot result nor the normal jackpot result is obtained, 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 combination information table provided in the ROM of the display control device 100 is referred to, and the information of the symbol combination corresponding to the information grasped in step S1701 is specified. Further, the ROM of the display control device 100 is provided with a stop information table. In the stop information table, the information of the combination of each stop symbol with respect to the information of each effective line is set in a one-to-one correspondence with the address information. In the stop information address storage process, the 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 executing the process of step S1704, the variable display pattern setting process is executed in step S1705. In the variation display pattern setting process, the variation display time information stored in the MPU register of the display control device 100 in step S1701 is referred to by referring to the variation display pattern table provided in the ROM provided in the display control device 100. And the information of the variation display pattern corresponding to both the information stored in the storage area of the stop information address in step S1704 are specified. The symbol display device 31 is driven so that the symbol display device 31 performs the variation display of the symbol corresponding to the variation pattern based on the information of the specified variation display pattern. After executing the variation display pattern setting process in step S1705, the variation start process is terminated.

<Processing during fluctuation>
Next, the process during fluctuation in step S1605 in the variation display control process (FIG. 27) will be described with reference to FIGS. 29 and 30. The fluctuating process is a process for executing character notification after the end of high-speed fluctuation during symbol fluctuation display on the symbol display device 31 when the input notification flag is stored.

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

In the variable processing, as shown in FIG. 29, first, in step S1801, it is determined whether or not all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 have completed high-speed fluctuation.

Here, in the pachinko machine 10, when the symbol display device 31 performs the variable display of the symbol, as shown in FIGS. 30A to 30C, the upper symbol row Z1, the middle symbol row Z2, and the middle symbol row Z2 are first displayed. In all the symbol rows of the lower symbol row Z3, high-speed fluctuation display (or first speed display) is performed so that the identification of each symbol displayed on the display screen becomes impossible or difficult in appearance. After that, as the period of T1 elapses from the start of fluctuation, first, for the upper symbol row Z1, the speed is set so that the identification of each symbol displayed on the display screen in the upper symbol row Z1 becomes easy in appearance. The fluctuation display is switched to the low speed fluctuation display (or the second speed display slower than the first speed display), and when the period of T2 elapses from the start of the fluctuation, the fluctuation display in the upper symbol sequence Z1 is stopped. Further, when the period of T2 elapses from the start of the fluctuation in this way, it becomes easy to visually identify each symbol displayed on the display screen in the lower symbol row Z3 for the lower symbol row Z3. As described above, the high-speed fluctuation display is switched to the low-speed fluctuation display, and when the period T3 elapses from the start of the fluctuation, the fluctuation display in the lower symbol sequence Z3 is stopped. Further, when the period of T3 elapses from the start of the fluctuation in this way, it is easy to visually identify each symbol displayed in the display screen G in the middle symbol row Z2 in the middle symbol row Z2. The high-speed fluctuation display can be switched to the low-speed fluctuation display. Then, when the period of T4 elapses from the start of the fluctuation, the fluctuation display in the middle symbol sequence Z2 is stopped.

In the above configuration, except when a predetermined reach display is performed, the period of T1, T2, T3, and T4 varies according to each variation display pattern stored in the variation display pattern table. It is defined in a one-to-one correspondence with the display pattern. Then, the reach effect and the like are performed after the lapse of the T3 period and until the lapse of the T4 period.

In the MPU of the display control device 100, the time from the start of the variation display of the symbol on the symbol display device 31 is measured by using the elapsed time counter area as the elapsed time measuring means provided in the RAM. Specifically, when the fluctuation display is started, the addition process of the elapsed time counter area 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 device 100, the information of each counter value corresponding to the above T1, T2, and T3 can be set at the start of the game round. It is stored in a state of being associated with pattern information on a one-to-one basis.

Returning to the description of the variable processing (FIG. 29), in step S1801, whether or not the value stored in the current elapsed time counter area is equal to or greater than the counter value corresponding to the above T3 in the elapsed time table storage area. By determining whether or not all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 have finished high-speed fluctuation.

When an affirmative determination is made in step S1801, it is determined in step S1802 whether or not the input notification flag is stored. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1802, the input notification execution process is executed in step S1803, and the input notification flag is cleared in the following step S1804.

The input notification effect is performed by the symbol display device 31 in a manner of prompting the player to input and memorize the content of the display result displayed on the result display unit 33a in the input display unit 120 in the current game round. Will be executed. Here, the configuration in which the input notification effect execution process is performed after the high-speed fluctuation ends is that it is impossible for the player to determine whether or not the current game time executes the input notification effect immediately after the symbol fluctuation starts. This is to prevent the degree of attention to the effect executed by the symbol display device 31 from being lowered.

If a negative determination is made in step S1802 or after the execution of step S1804, this variable processing is terminated.

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

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

After that, at the timings of t2 to t4, the high-speed fluctuation display in the upper symbol row Z1 ends when the time of T1 elapses, and the high-speed fluctuation display in the lower symbol row Z3 ends when the time of T2 elapses. When the time of T3 has elapsed, the high-speed fluctuation display in the middle symbol sequence Z2 ends. Each symbol sequence switches to the low-speed fluctuation display after the high-speed fluctuation display ends.

Further, at the timings of 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 terminated. When the low-speed fluctuation display ends for each symbol string, the symbol variation display is stopped. Finally, when the time of T4 has elapsed, the low-speed fluctuation display in the middle symbol sequence Z2 ends, the symbol of the stop result in the current game round is displayed as the final stop, and at the same time, the final stop result is displayed on the result display unit 33a. ..

Further, at the timing of t4, the symbol display device 31 executes the input notification based on the fact that the display control device 100 receives the type command corresponding to the character notification from the main control device 60. At the timing of t5, the effect of the input notification is completed, 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 into the pattern input unit 121, and the input content has already been input to the pattern storage area 64g. It is possible to determine whether or not it is stored in.

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

After that, at the timing of t7, the high-speed fluctuation display in the upper symbol sequence Z1 ends, and the display switches to the low-speed fluctuation display.

After that, at the timing of t8, the high-speed fluctuation display in the lower symbol sequence Z3 ends, and the display switches 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.

After that, at the timing of t9, the high-speed fluctuation display in the middle symbol sequence Z2 ends, and the display switches to the low-speed fluctuation display. In the lower symbol row Z3, the low-speed fluctuation display ends, and the fluctuation display of the symbols in the lower symbol row Z3 is stopped. Further, since the pattern input permission flag is cleared based on the end of the high-speed fluctuation display in all the symbols Z1 to Z3, the input becomes invalid even if the storage button 123 is pressed after inputting to the pattern input unit 121. .. The pattern input permission flag is configured to continue to be set if the next game round is not started after the set game round is completed.

After that, at the timing of t10, the variation display of the symbols in the middle symbol sequence Z2 is stopped, the symbol of the stop result in the current game round is displayed as the final stop, and at the same time, the final stop result is displayed on the result display unit 33a.

By setting the pattern input permission flag in the game times in which the input notification is executed, the information of the input pattern cannot be stored in the pattern storage area 64g in the game times in which the input notification is not executed. Further, the pattern input permission flag is not set when the lottery result corresponds to the jackpot result. As a result, it is possible to store the information of the input pattern in the pattern storage area 64g as a peculiar privilege when the lottery result is the result of the deviation, and even when the lottery result is the result of the deviation, the player's game It is possible to maintain the degree of attention to.

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

First, in FIG. 31 (a), out of the 20 pattern information PT1 to PT20, 4 pieces of information of the pattern information PT1 to PT4 are displayed. All the input buttons B1 to B7 in the input area BS are in the non-input state.

Next, in FIG. 31 (b), the input button B6 is in the input state by the input of the player from the state of FIG. 31 (a). In this case, among the input pattern information displayed on the pattern display unit 122, only the input pattern information corresponding to the input state of the input button B6 continues to be displayed, and the input button B6 corresponds to the non-input state. The pattern information is hidden. Specifically, since the pattern information PT3 and PT4 do not have the information corresponding to the input button B6, they are excluded from the search results.

Next, in FIG. 31 (c), the input button B7 is further in the input state by the input of the player from the state of FIG. 31 (b). In this case, as in the case of FIG. 31B, among the information of the input pattern whose display state is continued, only the information of the input pattern in which the input buttons B6 and B7 correspond to the input state is continued in the display state. , The information of the input pattern corresponding to the non-input state of the input buttons B6 and B7 is hidden. Specifically, since the pattern information PT2 does not have the information corresponding to the input button B6, it is excluded from the search results.

Next, in FIG. 31 (d), the input button B4 is further in the input state by the input of the player from the state of FIG. 31 (c). In this case, as in the case of FIGS. 31B and 31C, among the information of the input pattern whose display state is continued, the input buttons B4, B6, and B7 correspond to the input state. The display state of only the information of is continued, and the information of the input pattern that does not have the information of the input pattern is hidden. 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 input of the player from the state of FIG. 31 (d). In this case, since the input buttons B4 and B6 are the information of the input pattern corresponding to the input state, the information of the corresponding input pattern among the pattern information PT1 to PT4 is displayed. 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 the information of the input pattern corresponding to the input state of the input buttons B1 to B7 is stored in the pattern storage area 64g.

According to the present 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 out-of-order result, the result display unit 33a displays the stop result including the same first mode as the first mode result for the jackpot result. , The configuration is such that the player can recognize that the first aspect result for the jackpot result is displayed. As a result, it is possible to provide information on the stop result corresponding to the jackpot by using the result display unit 33a. Based on the provided information, the player can determine whether or not the result displayed on the result display unit 33a corresponds to a big hit, and it is possible to increase the player's attention to the game. It becomes.

Further, since the information is provided in the result display unit 33a only when the lottery result corresponds to the out-of-lot result, the player can obtain the privilege even if the lottery result is out-of-order. It becomes possible, and it becomes possible to maintain the player's attention to the game.

Further, when providing the information of the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or the stop result corresponding to the implicit probability variation jackpot result, the input notification process is executed, and the result display unit 33a displays the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or the unspecified probability variation. The configuration is such that the timing at which the stop result information corresponding to the jackpot result is provided is notified. As a result, the player can recognize that it is the timing when the stop result information corresponding to the jackpot result is provided.

In addition, the game content of the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result and the game content of the special deviation result are the same as far as the player can see. Specifically, the production content for the game round in the symbol display device 31. The mode of the opening / closing execution mode is the same, but the difference is that if the result is an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot, the mode shifts to the high probability mode, and if the result is a special deviation, the lottery mode does not change. Similarly, the game content of the unspecified probability variation jackpot result and the game content of the normal jackpot result have the same mode of the effect for the game round and the opening / closing execution mode, but if the result is an unspecified probability variation 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. As a result, by using the information corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result provided by the result display unit 33a, the stop result of the result display unit 33a is the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result or non-explicit 2R probability variation jackpot result. It is possible to determine whether or not it corresponds to the explicit probability variation jackpot result.

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

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

Since the pattern input permission flag is set at the timing when the stop display of all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is performed on the symbol display device 31, the player executes it until the symbol combination is confirmed on the symbol display device 31. It is possible to prevent the input pattern information from being stored in the pattern storage area 64g by ignoring the effect.

Further, since the pattern input permission flag is cleared at the timing when the high-speed fluctuation of all the symbol rows Z1 to Z3 is completed in the next game round, the player inputs the input pattern information in the pattern even when the next game round starts. It can be input to the unit 121, and the period required for the input work can be lengthened. Further, by providing a period in which the pattern input permission flag is set so as not to overlap with the reach effect, the period required for the input work is lengthened, so that the degree of attention to the effect executed by the symbol display device 31 is reduced. It is possible to prevent it from being caused.

Further, the pattern input permission flag is not set when the lottery result corresponds to the jackpot result. As a result, it is possible to store the information of the input pattern as a peculiar privilege at the time of deviation, and it is possible to increase the degree of attention of the privilege. Further, it is possible to prevent the information of the input pattern from being input when the jackpot occurs, and it is possible to increase the importance of the information provided at the time of the loss. For example, the stop result corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot can be determined by checking 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 unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot occurs, the information of the implicit 2R probability variation jackpot result and the stop result corresponding to the implicit probability variation jackpot result can be obtained. It will be done, and the importance of the information provided at the time of disconnection will be reduced.

Further, when providing the information of the stop result corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot or the implicit probability variation jackpot, the input notification is executed, and the symbol display device 31 notifies that the input to the pattern input unit 121 is urged. It was configured. As a result, 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 in the same shape and arrangement as the display segments A1 to A7 provided in the result display unit 33a. As a result, when the player inputs the information of the input pattern, the information of the stop result provided by the result display unit 33a can be input as it is, and the input work can be easily performed. Is possible.

Further, the result of the first aspect corresponds to the aspect in which 2 to 4 segments are made 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 seven segments are made to emit light as the result of the first mode, the work of the player recognizing the display mode of the result display unit 33a and inputting it to the pattern input unit 121 becomes complicated. It is possible to prevent this from happening.

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

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

By providing a period in which the period in which the search permission flag is set and the period in which the pattern input permission flag is set overlap, the content of the input information storage area 64f as the search target is the pattern storage area 64g. If the information is not stored in the pattern storage area 64g, 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 the process from searching for input pattern information to storing it without waste.

Further, when 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. As a result, it is possible to prevent the same information from being stored in the pattern storage area 64g and increasing the meaningless amount of information.

In a configuration in which a plurality of first-mode results at the time of disengagement are set, by determining the first-mode result at the time of disengagement based on the jackpot type counter C2, information that is not used at the time of disengagement among the information acquired for each game. Can be effectively used to determine the mode of the stop result corresponding to the disengagement result. As a result, it is possible to prevent an increase in the amount of information due to the diversification of the stop result at the time of disconnection.

In the result display unit 33a, the ninth display segment A9 is made to emit light in the mode of the stop result corresponding to the jackpot result, and the ninth display segment A9 is not emitted in the mode of the stop result corresponding to the off result. If the manager of the game hall always confirms the ninth display segment A9, the result of winning or failing can be easily grasped, and it becomes easy to confirm whether or not the player has illegally obtained the prize ball. Further, it is difficult for the player to understand that the display mode of the ninth display segment A9 is a part of the display mode of the display segments A1 to A9 and displays the result of success or failure.

When the game state at the time of winning the jackpot is in the high probability mode, the number of rounds in the winning jackpot is 16 rounds, and in the case of the low probability mode, it is 8 rounds. It is possible to make the expected number of winning prizes in the jackpot different depending on the game state. As a result, the player will play the game while paying attention to the game state before the lottery, and it will be possible to increase the degree of attention to the game. In addition, the content of the jackpot corresponding to the result of one lottery can be diversified, and the player plays the game with the expectation that the number of rounds will be 16, so that the degree of attention to the game can be increased in this respect as well. It will be possible.

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

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

In the stop result setting process for disconnection, first, in step S1901, the value of the jackpot 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 the following 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 deviation result.

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

Subsequently, in step S1904, after the special deviation flag is stored in the special deviation 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 stop result data for normal disconnection is acquired in step S1905, and the acquired address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 64 for the actual disconnection. Ends the stop result setting process.

The stop result data for the special deviation and the stop result data for the normal deviation have different contents of the stop result data as in the first embodiment. Further, in the present embodiment, the contents of the stop result data for special deviation and the stop result data for normal deviation are different from the stop result data for big hit.

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

Next, the type command setting process for determining the 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. 33 (a) is a flowchart for explaining the type command setting process, FIG. 33 (b) is an explanatory diagram for explaining the mode of winning symbol notification, and FIG. 34 is a mode of winning symbol notification 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 lottery result of this time corresponds to a normal deviation or a special deviation.

When an affirmative judgment is made in step S2001, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is confirmed in step S2002, and the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is an unspecified 2R probability variable jackpot or an unspecified probability variable jackpot. It is determined whether or not the value corresponds to.

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

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

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 33 (b), when the lottery result of the n-game round corresponds to the out-of-game result and the value of C2 is "47 to 142, 167 to 238", Based on the fact that the type command for notification of the winning symbol 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.

The display screen G is provided with a notification area GP as an area for executing the winning symbol notification. In the notification area GP, the mode providing unit GPa that displays the first aspect corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result, and the information displayed by the aspect providing unit GPa correspond to the probability variation jackpot. It is provided with a notification unit GPb that allows 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 used for the fluctuation of the symbols of all the symbols Z1 to Z3. Further, when an effect area for a hold ball is provided on the display screen G to perform an effect according to the number of holds and the contents of the hold information, it is preferable to provide the notification area GP in a range that does not overlap with the effect area.

After that, if the first aspect displayed on the result display unit 33a corresponding to the lottery result of the n + m game is the same as the information provided by the aspect providing unit GPa in the n game, the player Can recognize that the lottery result this time corresponds to the unspecified 2R probability variable jackpot result or the unspecified probability variable jackpot result.

Further, when the pattern of the same symbol as the stop result for the unspecified 2R probability variation or the stop result for the unspecified probability variation is displayed on the symbol display device 31, the entire pattern of 1 is not displayed at once. The pattern of 1 may be displayed in a plurality of times for each part.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 34, the notification area GP is provided with a provision status display unit GPc indicating a situation in which information about the pattern 1 is provided to the player. When the lottery result of the n-game round corresponds to the out-of-game 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. Part of the first aspect corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result is provided to the player as information in the part GPa. "1/2" is displayed on the provision status display unit GPc, and the first aspect corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result is divided into two parts. It is possible for the player to recognize that there is only one.

After that, the notification of the winning symbol is executed by the notification unit GPb at the n + 1 game round, and the mode providing unit GPa displays a part of the first aspect corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot result or the implicit probability variation jackpot result. Is displayed. "2/2" is displayed on the provision status display unit GPc, and the information provided in the current game round is combined with the information provided in the n-game round to form one first aspect. It is recognizable to the person.

After that, if the first aspect displayed on the result display unit 33a corresponding to the lottery result of the n + 1 + m game is the same as the information formed by combining the above two pieces of information, the player is asked to perform this time. It is possible to recognize that the lottery result corresponds to the unspecified 2R probability variable jackpot result or the unspecified probability variable jackpot result.

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

If a negative determination is made in step S2002, a type command at the time of loss 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 the execution of step S2005, step S2006, or step S2007, the command setting process for this type is terminated.

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

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

The contents of the distribution table in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 35.

In the distribution 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 not specified. 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 unspecified probability variation jackpot result.

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

The first aspect result table for jackpots, which is referred to for determining the aspect 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. 35. FIG. 36 (a) is a first aspect result table for normal jackpot, FIG. 36 (b) is a first aspect result table for unspecified 2R probability variation, and FIG. 36 (c) is a first aspect result table for explicit probability variation. It is an aspect result table, and FIG. 36 (d) is a first aspect result table for implicit probability variation.

The information of the first aspect result is stored in advance as the first aspect result data in the ROM 63 as in the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 36, the correspondence between the value of the jackpot type counter C2 and the first aspect result data is stored in each of the first aspect result tables. Regarding the content of the stop result data, the data 12 to 29 and the data 36 to 53 in the first mode result table for unspecified 2R probability variation are set to include the same first mode result data. Specifically, data 12 and data 36, data 13 and data 37, ..., Data 28 and data 52, and 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 normal jackpot and data 30 to data 35 in the first mode result table for explicit probability variation have unique contents, and are included in data 1 to data 53. Is not set to. Further, the data 1 to the data 53 are all set in a mode in which the third display segment A3 is made to emit light.

Here, unlike the first embodiment, the present embodiment has a configuration in which the ninth display segment A9 is not used. Whether it is true or not can be determined by the light emitting 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 made to emit light, it corresponds to a jackpot result, and when the mode is such that the third display segment A3 is not made to emit light. Corresponds to the off result.

The address information of the first aspect result data determined by referring to each of the first aspect result tables 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 the deviation, the above processing is executed, and the address information of the first aspect result data determined by referring to each first aspect result table is first. Aspect result Stored in the address storage area.

Based on the address information stored in the first aspect result address storage area, the result display mode of the result display unit 33a is determined by the variation end processing. The variation end processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 37.

Since the processing of steps S2101 to S2104 of the variation end processing in the present embodiment is the same processing as the processing of steps S901 to S904 of the variation end processing in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

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

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

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

After the execution of step S2105, step S2106 and step S2107, the variable end processing is terminated.

In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the segment showing the winning / failing result of the lottery in the result display unit 33a is not the ninth display segment A9 but the third display segment A3.

Here, the display segments A1 to A7 are a group of segments showing the first aspect, and the display modes of the seven segments are integrally changed. Even if the third display segment A3 is used as the display segment of the pass / fail result, the display mode of the other six segments fluctuates irregularly, so that the player shows the pass / fail result in the third display segment A3. It becomes difficult to recognize that. In the first embodiment, the segment for displaying the result of success or failure was one of the two segments provided as the segment group showing the second aspect. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of segments that change integrally with the winning / failing result display segment is larger, so that it is more difficult for the player to recognize the winning / failing result display segment.

On the other hand, for the manager of the game hall, whichever of the 9th display segment A9 and the 3rd display segment A3 is used as the display segment of the winning / failing result, the result display unit 33a is provided with 1 Since the work of confirming one segment is the same, it does not become difficult to determine the result of success or failure.

<Other embodiments>
The content is not limited to the description of each of the above-described embodiments, and may be implemented as follows, for example. Incidentally, each of the following configurations may be applied independently to the configuration of each of the above-described embodiments, or may be applied to the configuration of each of the above-described embodiments in a predetermined combination.

(1) In each of the above 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 unspecified 2R probability variation or the stop result for the unspecified probability variation is provided. Although the timing is the timing at which the result is displayed when the result display unit 33a is off, the above information may be provided during the fluctuation display on the result display unit 33a.

Specifically, a configuration is conceivable in which information on the stop result for the unspecified 2R probability variation or the stop result for the unspecified probability variation is displayed while the variation display pattern on the result display unit 33a is being displayed. In this case, the variation 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 information on the stop result for the unspecified 2R probability variation or the stop result for the unspecified probability variation is displayed. It is preferable that the display mode has a different tendency. For example, in the variation display pattern in the result display unit 33a, a mode in which only one segment is lit is set, and 2 to 4 are being provided while providing information corresponding to the stop result for the unspecified 2R probability variation or the stop result for the unspecified probability variation. It is a configuration in which a mode in which one segment is lit is set. Further, by notifying the player of the timing of displaying the information of the stop result for the unspecified 2R probability change or the stop result for the unspecified probability change while displaying the variation display pattern, the player can stop the stop. It becomes possible to recognize the timing at which the result information is provided, and it is possible to determine the lottery result by 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 disconnection is the information on the display mode corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variable jackpot or the unspecified probability variable jackpot. However, the configuration may be such that information on the display mode corresponding to other lottery results is provided.

For example, when different display modes are set for each of the 8-round jackpot and the 16-round jackpot, information on the display mode corresponding to the 16-round jackpot may be provided at the time of deviation. In this case, as the information required when referring to the first aspect result table for the jackpot result, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 and the information on whether or not the high probability mode flag is set are set, and the high probability mode flag is set. It is conceivable that the stop result data is set differently depending on whether is set or not.

Further, for example, the configuration may be such that information on the display mode corresponding to the normal jackpot is provided at the time of deviation. In this case, information on the display mode corresponding to the normal jackpot is displayed on the pattern display unit 122. The normal jackpot result and the unspecified probability variable jackpot result have the same game content, and whether the lottery result is the 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 a normal jackpot result, it can be identified as an unspecified probability variable jackpot result.

(3) In each of the above embodiments, 16 rounds of open / close execution mode are executed when a normal jackpot, an explicit probability variable jackpot, or an unspecified probability variable jackpot is won in the high probability mode, and 8 rounds in the low probability mode. Although the opening / closing execution mode is 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 table for high probability mode and a table for low probability mode are provided as distribution tables, and the number of values corresponding to 16 rounds of jackpots in the table for high probability mode is calculated from the table for low probability mode. It is possible to increase the number of configurations.

(4) In each of the above embodiments, when the lottery result is out of order and the jackpot type counter C2 corresponds to the unspecified 2R probability variable jackpot result or the unspecified probability variable jackpot result, the jackpot type counter C2 is supported. The display mode in the result display unit 33a is determined based on the display corresponding to the stop result data of the first mode result table for the jackpot result, but the configuration does not refer to the first mode result table for the jackpot result. May be good.

Specifically, by referring to the first aspect result table for the outlier result, it is possible to acquire the address information of the stop result which is the stop result data corresponding to the jackpot type counter C2 and is different from the stop result for the jackpot result. The first aspect result table for the time of disengagement may be provided so as to be.

(5) In each of the above embodiments, the value of the jackpot type counter C2 is used when determining the stop result for the deviation result, but the configuration is determined by using the value of the jackpot random number counter C1. May be good. In this case, since there are more values assigned to the normal deviation than the value assigned to the special deviation result in the jackpot random number counter C1, the value allocated to the normal deviation is mainly used to make an unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot. Alternatively, it is necessary to provide information on the display mode corresponding to the unspecified probability change jackpot. Alternatively, by increasing the winning probability of the special deviation, it is possible to increase the number of display modes including information on the display mode corresponding to the unspecified 2R probability variation jackpot or the implicit probability variation jackpot.

(6) In each of the above embodiments, the main control device 60 does not execute the control of the pattern input permission and the search permission of the input display unit 120, but the voice lamp control device 90 or the display control device 100 executes the control. It may be configured to be used.

In the configuration in which the voice lamp control device 90 or the display control device 100 controls the input display unit 120, the effect for the game round is determined based on the fluctuation start command and the type command received from the main control device 60. The pattern input permission flag or the search permission flag is set and cleared according to the determined effect for the game round. Specifically, the voice lamp control device 90 is provided with a voice lamp ROM, and the display control device 100 is provided with a display ROM. Both ROMs store information on the elapsed time used for the production for the game round, and store information such as the time from the start of the fluctuation to the end of the high-speed fluctuation and the time from the start of the fluctuation to the finalization of the symbol.

Since the voice lamp control device 90 or the display control device 100 controls the input display unit 120, it is not necessary for the main control device 60 to grasp the time from the start of fluctuation to the end of high-speed fluctuation 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 embodiments, the execution timing of the input notification may be executed in the game times in which reach does not occur. 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.

Further, the input notification may be executed only when a specific reach is deviated. 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 variable type counter CS as well as the reach random number counter C3.

It is desirable that these notifications are executed at a timing when it is confirmed that the reach does not occur or at a timing after the timing when the reach is released. As a result, the player can play the game while expecting a big hit until the reach is lost.

(8) In each of the above embodiments, the present invention may be applied in a configuration in which the upper operating port 23 and the lower operating port 24 have different result display units. For example, in a configuration in which a first result display unit is provided corresponding to the upper operating port 23 and a second result display unit is provided corresponding to the lower operating port 24, different modes of stop results are set for the same lottery result. The configuration is 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. Must be.

For example, in a configuration in which two display areas different from each other 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 is the first. 2 A configuration is conceivable in which the stop result of the result display unit is displayed. Specifically, as the storage button 123, the first storage button that stores the input pattern as the stop result information in the first result display unit and the second storage button that stores the input pattern as the stop result information in the second result display unit. A button is provided. Every 10 unit areas provided in the pattern storage area 64g also store the first unit area group that stores the stop result information in the first result display unit, and the second unit area that stores the stop result information in the second result display unit. It is divided into a unit area group. 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 the unit area provided in the second unit area group. Then, 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.

Further, for example, it is conceivable that the first result display unit and the second result display unit have the same stop result mode set for the same lottery result. 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 unit and the stop result of the second display unit may be displayed without distinction in one display area. ..

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

(10) In each of the above embodiments, the result display unit 33a may be configured not to be executed when the information of the display mode corresponding to the jackpot result is not provided in a special case. Further, the information of the display mode corresponding to the jackpot result may be provided only when the lottery result is a special deviation. Specifically, the type command setting process corresponding to the character notification may not be executed in the case of a special deviation, or may be executed only in the case of a special deviation.

(11) In each of the above embodiments, the period in which the search permission flag is set may be the same as the period in which the input permission flag is set.
