As shown in FIG. 6-1, in this embodiment, on the side of the main board 1200, the random number MR1 used for determining the lottery results to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 1701 and the second special symbol display device 1702 , Random number MR2 used to determine the jackpot type, Random number MR3 used to determine which type the variation pattern belongs to, that is, to determine the category of the variation pattern, For determining the result of normal figure display Numerical data representing the random number MR4 used to determine the content of the fluctuation pattern and the random number MR5 used to determine the contents of the variation pattern are controlled so as to be countable.

Figure 6-2 (A) is a diagram illustrating the first special symbol display result determination table stored in the ROM1211, random number MR1 used to determine the lottery result to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 1701 is explained.

Figure 6-2 (B) is a diagram illustrating the second special symbol display result determination table stored in the ROM1211, random number MR1 used to determine the lottery result to be displayed on the second special symbol display device 1702 is explained.

In addition, in the first special figure display result determination table and the second special figure display result determination table, the game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is determined according to whether or not a high probability flag described later is set. Numerical values (determined values) to be compared with MR1 are different.

In the setting example of the first special figure display result determination table and the second special figure display result determination table, when the high probability flag is not set for the game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the determination value within a predetermined range ("8000" ~ "8661" range) is assigned a lottery result of "big hit", and if the high probability flag is set, the determined value within a predetermined range ("8000" ~ "13461" range value ) is assigned a lottery result of “big win”. With such a setting, when the high-probability flag is set in the pachinko game machine 1, the probability that the lottery result of "big hit" is selected is higher than when the high-probability flag is not set. there is

FIG. 6-2(C) is a diagram exemplifying the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 1211, and explains the random number MR2 used to determine the jackpot type. The jackpot type determination table determines which jackpot type should be selected based on the random number MR2 when it is decided to display the lottery result "jackpot" on the first special pattern display device 1701 or the second special pattern display device 1702. It is a table that is referenced to In the setting example of the jackpot type determination table, when the first special game is executed, a predetermined range of determination values (values in the range of "36" to "127") are assigned to the "second jackpot" jackpot type. there is Further, when the second special game is executed, a determined value within a predetermined range (a value within the range of "36" to "127") is assigned to the "third jackpot" jackpot type. Also, when the first special game and the second special game are executed, a predetermined range of determined values (values in the range of "0" to "35") is assigned to the "first big win" big win type. .

FIG. 6-2(D) is a diagram exemplifying the general pattern display result determination table stored in the ROM 1211, and explains the random number MR4 for general pattern display result determination. The normal pattern display result determination table is a table referred to for determining whether or not to display the lottery result of "normal pattern win" on the normal pattern display device based on the random value MR4. In the setting example of the normal map display result determination table, if the time saving flag described later is not set, a predetermined range of determination values (values in the range of "0" to "9") is assigned to "normal map per" there is Also, when a time saving flag, which will be described later, is set, a determined value within a predetermined range (a value within the range of "0" to "98") is assigned to "per normal figure". With such a setting, when the time saving flag is set in the pachinko game machine 1, the probability that the lottery result of ``per normal pattern'' is selected is higher than when the time saving flag is not set. there is Therefore, the state in which the time saving flag is set makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting port 1121 compared to the state in which the time saving flag is not set. In the following, such a state in which the number of determined values assigned to "per normal pattern" is large will be referred to as "operating state of the probability variation function of the normal pattern display device". In addition, the state in which the time saving flag is not set is referred to as a "suspended state of the probability variation function of the normal symbol display device".

In other words, the hall computer 2000 has a function as an information management device that tallies the game information of each pachinko game machine 1 connected via the base terminal device 2001 .

Next, the operation of the pachinko game machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered on, the following processes are executed. When power is turned on to the pachinko game machine 1 and power supply is started, power-on processing after step S1 shown in FIG. 8 is started.

In the power-on process, the CPU 1213 first disables interrupts (step S1). A stack pointer designation address is set in the stack pointer (step S2). Next, a start address is set when the interrupt is permitted (step S15; YES) (step S3). After setting the built-in devices (initialization of CTC (counter/timer) and PIO (parallel input/output port) which are built-in devices (built-in peripheral circuits), etc.) (step S4), the RAM is made accessible. Set (step S5). The start address is an address that the CPU 1213 first accesses when an interrupt is permitted in step S15, which will be described later.

Next, the CPU 1213 checks the state of the output signal (clear switch signal in FIG. 4) of the clear switch (for example, mounted on the power supply board) input via the input port (step S6). If ON is detected in the confirmation, the CPU 1213 executes normal power-on processing. It should be noted that the normal power-on process is a process that prevents a predetermined state before power-on from being inherited after power-on (S10 to S17).

If the clear switch is not in the ON state, checksum determination preprocessing (step S7) is performed. This checksum judgment pre-processing consists of the first step of reading out the checksum calculated when the power supply is stopped from the backup RAM area, and the new checksum is recalculated by the same process as when the power supply is stopped. and a second step.

After confirming that the checksum determination preprocessing has been performed, the CPU 1213 performs a data check to determine whether or not the checksum calculated when the power supply was stopped matches the newly calculated checksum (step S8). According to this data check, when the power supply is restored after an unexpected power outage or other power failure, the data in the backup RAM area should be saved, so the check result is consistent (normal). If the check result is not normal, it means that the data in the backup RAM area is different from the data when the power supply was stopped. In such a case, the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply was stopped, so normal power-on processing is executed.

If the check result is normal (step S8; YES), after the power is turned on, the CPU 1213 performs backup processing for returning each control state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of power supply stop (step S41). This backup process consists of a first process of setting a pointer to the top address of the command transmission table during backup stored in the ROM 1211, and a second process of setting the gaming state after the power is turned on. there is Here, in the command transmission table at the time of backup, a command group to be transmitted from the main substrate 1200 to other control substrates after power-on is designated. In addition, in the second process, the data indicating the game state before the power supply is stopped (special pattern process flag, normal pattern process flag, high probability flag, time saving flag, output standby flag, etc.), and the output state of the output port are saved. It designates which data to use again after the power is turned on, out of the data in the area where it is (output port buffer), the data indicating the waiting period timer, or the data indicating that the prize balls have not been paid out. ing.

Further, the CPU 1213 transmits a power failure recovery designation command as an initialization command at the time of power supply recovery to the effect control board 1900 and the like (step S42). For example, the production control CPU 1901, when receiving a power failure recovery designation command, uses the production display device 1109 or the like to notify that the power supply is stopped.

In normal power-on processing, the CPU 1213 first performs RAM clear to erase data in the backup RAM area (step S10). Next, a RAM clearing process is performed (step S11). This RAM clearing process consists of a first process of setting a pointer to the head address of the command transmission table at the time of initialization stored in the ROM 1211, and a second process of initializing the gaming state after the power is turned on. It is configured. Here, in the RAM clearing command transmission table, a command group to be transmitted from the main substrate 1200 to the other control substrates at the time of RAM clearing is specified. In addition, this initial setting means that the value of various flags (special pattern process flag, general pattern process flag, high probability flag, time saving flag and output standby flag, etc.) in order to make a predetermined initial game state appear It should be set to the initial value.

In addition, the CPU 1213 provides an initialization designation command for initializing a plurality of sub-boards (a board on which a microcomputer other than the main board 1200 is mounted) (indicating that the game control microcomputer 1200 has executed RAM clearing). (also a command) is transmitted to the plurality of sub-boards (step S12). For example, when the effect control CPU 1901 receives an initialization designation command, the effect display device 1109 or the like is used to notify that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

The CPU 1213 also executes random number circuit setting processing for initializing the random number circuit 1214 (step S13).

Then, in step S14, the CPU 1213 sets the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 1210 so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 4 ms).

When the execution of the initialization process (steps S10 to S14) is completed, the CPU 1213 sets interrupt permission (step S15) and waits for timer interrupt to occur (step S16). Then, when a timer interrupt occurs (S16; YES), a timer interrupt process (step S17), which will be described later, is executed.

When a timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 1213 executes timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. In the timer interrupt process, first, a power failure detection process is executed to detect whether or not a power confirmation signal has been output (whether or not the device has been turned on) (step S21). The power confirmation signal is output when, for example, a voltage drop monitoring circuit mounted on a power supply board (not shown) detects a drop in the voltage of the power supplied to the pachinko game machine 1 . In the power-off detection process, when the CPU 1213 detects that the power supply confirmation signal is output, the CPU 1213 executes the power-supply-off process for saving necessary data in the backup RAM area.

In addition, in the power-off detection process, when the CPU 1213 determines that the power confirmation signal is not output, the CPU 1213 executes the switch process (step S22). In this switch processing, the CPU 1213 determines the states of the gate switches 1133, 1133, the big winning opening switches 1142, 1152, the first starting opening switch 1112, the second starting opening switch 1122, and the out switch via the switch circuit 1220.

An information output process is performed to output data such as a security signal that can identify the incident to hall computer 2000 (step S30).

Furthermore, the CPU 1213 determines the states of the big winning opening switches 1142 and 1152, the first starting opening switch 1112 and the second starting opening switch 1122, and sets the number of prize balls to be generated. A prize ball process is executed (step S31). Specifically, when the CPU 1213 determines that any one of the large winning opening switches 1142 and 1152, the first starting opening switch 1112 and the second starting opening switch 1122 is turned on, the payout control board 1300 A payout control command (prize ball number signal) indicating the number of prize balls is output to the payout control microcomputer installed. The payout control microcomputer mounted on the payout control board 1300 drives the ball payout device 1301 according to a payout control command indicating the number of prize balls. For example, the CPU 1213 outputs a winning ball number signal indicating that 10 game balls are to be paid out to the ball payout device 1301 when the big winning opening switch 1142 is turned on, and the second start opening switch 1122 is turned on. When turned on, a prize ball number signal indicating that one game ball is to be paid out is output to the ball payout device 1301 .

In this embodiment, a RAM area (output port buffer) corresponding to the output state of the output port is provided. Output to the port (step S32: output processing).

In addition, the CPU 1213 performs special symbol display control processing for setting special symbol display control data for performing special symbol effect display according to the value of the special symbol process flag in the output buffer for special symbol display control data setting ( step S33).

Furthermore, the CPU 1213 performs normal symbol display control processing for setting normal symbol display control data for performing normal symbol effect display in the output buffer for normal symbol display control data setting according to the value of the normal symbol process flag ( step S34).

After that, the interrupt enabled state is set (step S35), and the process ends. By the above control, in this embodiment, the timer interrupt process is started every 4 ms.

By providing such a starting data storage buffer, the above-mentioned "second" starting mouth type information, the second reservation information stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit in step S216 easily associated with You can do it. Here, the fulfillment of the above-described second starting condition is step S212; YES, step S213; NO, step S214, step S215, step S216, and step S217 of this flow chart. However, step S212; YES, step S213; NO, step S214, step S215, and step S216 of this flow chart may be regarded as establishment of the above-described second starting condition.

After executing the process of step S217, the value of the counter corresponding to the total reserved storage number corresponding to the number of the above-described starting port type information stored in the starting data storage unit provided in the RAM 1212 is incremented by 1 ( step S218).

Subsequently, for example, by setting the storage address of the second starting gate winning designation command table in the ROM 1211 in the transmission command buffer, etc., the setting for transmitting the command related to the winning to the second starting gate 1121 is performed ( step S219). Commands to be transmitted from the main substrate 1200 to other control substrates when the second starting condition is established are specified in this second start opening prize designation command table. In addition, the command group to be specified includes the second starting entrance winning designation command B2XX (H) and the second reserved storage number notification command C2XX (H), command B2XX (H) and command C2XX (H) is transmitted from the main board 1200 to the effect control board 1900 .

After executing the process of step S219, prior to the special symbol normal process of step S110, numerical data indicating each random number extracted in step S215 from the second special figure pending storage buffer or starting data storage buffer Read out (S220). Next, for example, by setting the storage address of the prefetch result notification command table in the ROM 1211 to the transmission command buffer, etc., settings are made for transmitting the command related to the random value acquired at the time of winning to the second start port 1121. (Step S221). In this look-ahead result notification command table, information related to various lottery results determined later by special symbol normal processing using each numerical data extracted in step S215 is transmitted from the main substrate 1200 to other control substrates. command group is specified for It should be noted that the specified command group includes the symbol designation command C4XX (H) and the variable category command C6XX (H), and the command C4XX (H) and the command C6XX (H) are sent from the main board 1200 to the effect control board. 1900.

Here, the effect control board 1900, which has received the command C4XX (H) or command C6XX (H), before starting the variable display of the decoration pattern, the lottery result indicating "big hit" is displayed on the second special pattern display device. Whether or not it is displayed and whether the big win type is the first big win or the third big win can be grasped before starting the variable display of the decoration pattern.

Subsequently, for example, by setting the storage address of the pending storage number notification command table in the ROM 1211 in the transmission command buffer, settings for transmitting commands related to the total pending storage number are made (step S222). A command group for transmitting information related to the total number of reserved memories from the main board 1200 to other control boards is specified in this reserved memory number notification command table. In addition, the designated command group includes a total pending storage number notification command C3XX (H), and the command C3XX (H) is transmitted from the main board 1200 to the effect control board 1900. there is After executing the starting winning determination process as described above, one of the processes of steps S110 to S116 shown in FIG. 10 is selected and executed according to the value of the special figure process flag.

The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0". In this special symbol normal process, based on the presence or absence of the first reservation information and the second reservation information stored in the first special symbol reservation storage unit and the second special symbol reservation storage unit, the first special symbol display device and A determination is made as to whether or not to start a game relating to special symbols by the second special symbol display device. Also, in this special symbol normal processing, based on the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the special symbol display result, whether the lottery result is a "big hit" or "losing", and if the lottery result is a "big hit" The big hit type is determined before being derived and displayed on the first special symbol display device or the second special symbol display device. Furthermore, in this special symbol normal process, the variation time of the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game is determined. Then, when the lottery result, the jackpot type and the variable time are determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "1".

The special symbol variation process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "1". In this special symbol variation process, in the first special symbol display device and the second special symbol display device, the process of setting until the lottery result is displayed and the process of managing the time until the lottery result is displayed etc. are included. For example, the time is managed by subtracting or adding 1 to the timer value, which is the stored value in the timer provided in the RAM 1212, each time the special symbol variation process of step S111 is executed. It is also determined whether or not the measured time has reached a predetermined time. Then, when the predetermined time is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2".

The special symbol stop processing of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol stop processing includes processing for displaying the lottery results on the first special symbol display device and the second special symbol display device. Then, determination processing of whether or not the jackpot flag provided in the RAM 1212 is turned on is performed. Here, when the big hit flag is on, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "3", but when the big hit flag is off, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". It should be noted that the value of the special figure process flag to be updated from "2" to "3" is referred to as "operation of the accessory continuous operating device". In addition, the state in which the accessory continuous operation device is operating is the same as the state in which the value of the special process flag is "3 or more", and it appears only when the accessory continuous operation device is operating. Suppose that the operation|movement to do is called a "hit operation."

The big winning opening pre-opening process of step S113 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "3". In this big winning opening pre-opening process, it is determined how to operate the first special electric accessory 1140 and/or the second special electric accessory 1150 based on the fact that the lottery result is a "big hit". It includes a process of setting the operation mode, a process of managing the time of the opening effect that notifies the start of the "jackpot", and the like. After setting this operation mode, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". Since the pre-processing for opening the big winning opening in step S113 is executed only when the big win flag is ON, the pre-processing for opening the big winning opening in step S113 is one of winning operations.

The processing during opening of the big winning a prize opening of step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This processing during the opening of the big winning opening includes processing for operating the first special electric accessory 1140 and/or the second special electric accessory 1150 based on the set operation mode. After the operation of the first special electric role product 1140 and/or the second special electric role product 1150 is completed in the set operation mode, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5". In addition, since the process during opening of the big winning a prize opening of step S114 is performed only when the big hit flag is ON, the process during opening of the big winning a prize opening of step S114 is one of winning operations.

The processing after opening the big winning opening in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "5". The processing after opening the big winning opening includes the determination processing of whether or not to operate the first special electric accessory 1140 and/or the second special electric accessory 1150 again. In this determination process, if it is determined to operate the first special electric role product 1140 and / or the second special electric role product 1150 again, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "3", but the first When it is determined that the special electric role product 1140 and/or the second special electric role product 1150 is not operated, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6" along with performing the setting for displaying the end of the big hit. Here, the setting for displaying the end of the big hit is a setting for notifying the effect control board 1900 that the value of the special process flag has been updated to "6", and the effect control board 1900 is the effect Using the display device 1109 or another effect device, the player is notified that the value of the special figure process flag has been updated to "6", that is, that the "jackpot" has ended. Since the processing after opening the big winning opening of step S115 is executed only when the big win flag is ON, the processing after opening the big winning prize of step S115 is one of winning operations.

The jackpot end processing of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". In this jackpot end processing, the processing for managing the time for reporting the end of the "jackpot" and the game state of the pachinko game machine 1 after the "jackpot" is set are set. processing etc. are performed. When this jackpot end processing is completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". It should be noted that, at this timing, updating the value of the special figure process flag to "0" has the same value as stopping the accessory continuous operating device that has been operating. In addition, since the big-hit end processing of step S116 is executed only when the big-hit flag is ON, the big-hit end processing of step S116 is one of the winning operations.

FIG. 12 is a flow chart showing an example of the special symbol normal process executed in step S110 of FIG. CPU1213 in the special symbol normal processing shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the total number of pending memories is "0" (step S231). At this time, if the total reserved storage number is other than "0" (step S231; NO), the start port type information managed as the reserved number "1" is read out from the start data storage unit (step S232).

Subsequent to the process of step S232, by subtracting 1 from the total pending storage count value, the total pending storage number is updated to be decremented by 1. Here, the starting data storage section is managed by holding numbers from 1 to 8, and the contents of the starting data storage stored in the entries lower than the holding number "1" in the starting data storage section are stored in one entry. It is shifted upward by increments (step S233). Then, it is determined whether the starting port type information read in step S232 is "first" or "second" (step 234).

When it is determined in step S234 that the starting port type information is "first" (step S234; first), the starting port type information managed by this reservation number "1" is associated with the first 1 As the first reservation information stored in the special figure reservation storage unit, numerical data (MR1) indicating the random number value for determining the special symbol display result and numerical data (MR2) indicating the random number value for determining the jackpot type. , Numerical data (MR3, MR5) representing several types of reach random numbers used for selecting the fluctuation time of the first special game, etc. (step S235). At this time, by subtracting 1 from the first special figure pending storage number count value, etc., the first special figure pending storage number is updated to a value decremented by 1, and the first By shifting the storage contents of the pending information upward, an empty entry is created in the lower position (step S236). Then, corresponding to starting the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device, the value of the variable special symbol designation buffer provided in the RAM 1212 is set to "1" (step S237).

When it is determined in step S234 that the starting port type information is "second" (step S234; second), the starting port type information managed by this reservation number "1" is associated with the 2 As the second reservation information stored in the special figure reservation storage unit, numerical data (MR1) indicating the random number value for determining the special symbol display result and numerical data (MR2) indicating the random number value for determining the jackpot type. , Numerical data (MR3, MR5) indicating several types of reach random numbers used for selecting the variation time of the second special game, etc. (step S245). At this time, by subtracting 1 from the second special figure pending storage count value, etc., the second special figure pending storage number is updated to a value decremented by 1, and the second stored in the second special figure pending storage unit By shifting the storage contents of the pending information upward, an empty entry is created in the lower position (step S246). Then, corresponding to starting the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 1702, the value of the variable special symbol designation buffer provided in the RAM 1212 is set to "2" (step S247).

After executing the process of step S237 or S247, a special symbol big hit determination process (step S238) for determining whether the lottery result is "loss" or "big hit" is executed. In this special symbol big hit determination process, the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the special symbol display result read in step S235 or the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the special symbol display result read in step S245 is used to determine the lottery result. Determines whether the lottery result is a "big hit" or "losing" according to which of the determination values assigned to each lottery result of "losing" and "big hit" in the table for It has become.

FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing an example of the special symbol big hit determination process of step S238. First, the jackpot flag that is set when the lottery result is a jackpot is cleared (step S250).

Next, a lottery result determination table for the high probability state is set (step S251). Next, it is determined whether or not the high probability flag is set (step S252). Here, when it is determined that the high probability flag is set (step S252; YES), the state in which the lottery result determination table for the high probability state is set is maintained. If it is determined that the high probability flag is not set (step S252; NO), the lottery result determination table for the low probability state is replaced with the lottery result determination table for the high probability state. is set (step S253).

Then, the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the special symbol display result read out in step S235 or the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the special symbol display result read out in step S245 is set for the high probability state. Lottery results depending on which of the determined values assigned to each lottery result of "losing" and "big hit" in the table for determining the lottery result or the table for determining the lottery result in the low probability state is determined as a "big hit" or a "loss" (step S254). Here, the lottery result determination table for the high probability state has a larger number of determined values assigned to the "jackpot" than the lottery result determination table for the low probability state. In the state where the lottery result determination table for the state is set, compared to the state where the lottery result determination table for the low probability state is set, the first condition device operating conditions and The second condition is a state in which the device operating condition is likely to be established. When the high probability flag is set in this way, performing step S254 using the lottery result determination table for the high probability state is referred to as "operation of the special symbol probability variation function".

Subsequently, when it is determined to be a "big hit" at step S255 (step S255; YES), a big hit flag provided in the RAM 1212 is set (step S256). If it is determined at step S254 that the game is not a "jackpot" (step S255; NO), the process is terminated without setting the jackpot flag provided in the RAM 1212. FIG.

In FIG. 12, after executing the special symbol big hit determination process of step S238, a big hit type determination process (step S239) for determining which of a plurality of types the big hit type is set is executed. In this jackpot type determination process, a plurality of numerical data indicating the random number for determining the jackpot type read in step S235 are prepared in advance such as "first jackpot" and "second jackpot" in the table for determining the special figure 1 jackpot type. The jackpot type is determined according to which of the determined values assigned to each type matches. In addition, in this jackpot type determination process, the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the jackpot type read in step S245 is set to a number such as "first jackpot" or "third jackpot" in the table for determining the special figure 2 jackpot type. The jackpot type is determined according to which of the determined values assigned to the prepared types matches.

FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing an example of the jackpot type determination process of step S239. First, in the special symbol jackpot determination process, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is set (step S260). If the big hit flag is set (step S260; YES), the big hit flag related to the first special game by the first special symbol display device 1701 is set, or the second special by the second special symbol display device 1702 In order to determine whether the jackpot flag related to the figure game has been set, the variable special figure designation buffer value is read (step S261).

Next, it is determined whether the read fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is "1" or "2" (step S262). When the read variable special figure designation buffer value is "1" (step S262; "1"), in order to determine which one of a plurality of types the jackpot type is, special figure 1 jackpot type determination A table is set (step S263). In addition, when the read variable special figure designation buffer value is "2" (step S262; "2"), in order to determine which of a plurality of types the jackpot type is, special figure 2 jackpot type determination A table for is set (step S264).

Then, the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the jackpot type read in step S235 or the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the jackpot type read in step S245 is the table for determining the special figure 1 jackpot type or the special figure 2 The jackpot type is determined according to which of the determined values assigned to each type prepared in advance such as "first jackpot", "second jackpot" and "third jackpot" in the table for jackpot type determination matches. Determine (step S265).

The jackpot type thus determined is stored in a storage area provided in the RAM 1212 or the like (step S266). After executing step S266, the big hit type determination process is terminated. Specifically, if the jackpot type is the first jackpot, the jackpot type value is set to "1", if it is the second jackpot, it is set to "2", and if it is the third jackpot, it is set to "3". A value is set.

Further, when it is determined that the jackpot flag is not set in step S260 (step S260; NO), the lottery result is "lost", so the process is terminated without setting the jackpot type value. do.

In FIG. 12, after executing the jackpot type determination process in step S239, a variation pattern setting process (step S240) for determining which of the first special game or second special game the variation time, etc. is to be performed is performed. do. This variation pattern setting process uses several types of reach random numbers etc. used to select the variation time of the first special game or the second special game, etc., of the first special game or the second special game It is for determining which of the fluctuation times and the like should be set.

FIG. 15 is a flow chart showing an example of the variation pattern setting process in step S240. First, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is set in the special symbol big hit determination process (step S270). When the jackpot flag is set (step S270; YES), a jackpot time variation pattern type determination table selection process (step S271) for determining a jackpot time variation pattern type determination table is executed.

In this jackpot time variation pattern type determination table selection process, a plurality of jackpot time variation pattern type determination tables are selected based on the value of the gaming state designation buffer when the first special game or the second special game is played. One table is determined from among them. Then, the determined big hit variation pattern type determination table is set (step S272). The game state managed by the value of this game state designation buffer is distinguished by the combination of the set state of the high probability flag and the set state of the time saving flag. In this embodiment, when both the high probability flag and the time saving flag are set (referred to as "high high" in FIG. 7), the value of the game state designation buffer is set to "1" It's becoming In addition, when both the high probability flag and the time saving flag are not set (referred to as "low low" in FIG. 7), "2" is set to the value of the game state designation buffer. . Furthermore, when the high probability flag is not set and the time saving flag is set (referred to as "low high" in FIG. 7), "3" is set to the value of the game state designation buffer It has become so. Furthermore, when the high probability flag is set and the time saving flag is not set (referred to as "high and low" in FIG. 7), "4" is set to the value of the game state designation buffer It's like

Next, the jackpot type value set in step S266 is read out (step S273). Next, based on one reach random number MR3 in the first reservation information or second reservation information read in step S235 or step S245, the variation pattern type determination table for the big hit, and the big hit type value, at the time of one big hit In order to determine the variation pattern category determination table for the jackpot, a variation pattern category determination table selection process for the jackpot is executed. (Step S274). In addition, while the first special game or the second special game is being executed, the variation pattern of how the effect display device 1109 etc. is operated is divided into a plurality of categories (PB1, PB2 in FIG. 7). classified

In this jackpot time variation pattern category determination table selection process, the variation pattern indicating how the performance display device 1109 or the like is to be operated while the first special game or the second special game is being executed is classified into categories. One table is determined from among a plurality of variation pattern category tables for jackpots classified for each category. Then, the determined big hit variation pattern category determination table is set (step S275).

Also, in step S270, if the jackpot flag is not set (step S270; NO), a change pattern type determination table selection process for loss for determining a change pattern type determination table for loss (step S276) to run.

In this loss-time variation pattern type determination table selection process, based on the value of the gaming state designation buffer when the first special game or the second special game is performed, It is designed to determine one table from Then, the determined change pattern type determination table for failure is set (step S277).

Next, a change pattern category determination table selection process for loss is executed (step S278). In this losing variation pattern category determination table selection process, one reach random value MR3 in the first hold information or second hold information read in step S235 or step S245 and the loss set in step S277 Based on the time variation pattern type determination table, the effect display device 1109 or the like is operated in a mode (PA1 in FIG. 7) that does not execute the reach effect through the shortening change, or the reach effect is executed without going through the shortening change. Either it is operated in a mode (PA2 in FIG. 7) in which it is not activated, it is operated in a mode (PA3 in FIG. 7) in which a ready-to-win effect is executed, or a super ready-to-win effect (Fig. One table is determined from among the fluctuation pattern category determination tables for the time of failure classified by the matter of whether to operate in the mode of executing PA4) in 7). Then, the determined change pattern category determination table for failure is set (step S279).

Next, the value of the counter corresponding to the total reserved storage number is read (step S280). Next, other reach random numbers in the first hold information or second hold information read in step S235 or step S245, the fluctuation pattern category determination table for losing, and the counter value corresponding to the total number of pending memories Based on , a change pattern small category determination table selection process for loss is executed to determine one change pattern small category determination table for loss. (Step S281).

In this losing change pattern small category determination table selection process, the change pattern of how to operate the effect display device 1109 etc. while the first special game or the second special game is being executed is determined. One table is determined from among a plurality of change pattern small category determination tables for failure which are classified by the total number of reserved memories. Then, the determined change pattern small category determination table for failure is set (step S282).

Next, the set variation pattern category determination table for the big hit or the variation pattern small category determination table for the loss time, and the variation pattern determination in the first reservation information or the second reservation information read in step S235 or step S245 Based on one reach random number MR5 for use, a variation pattern determination process for determining a variation pattern in which the variation time of the first special game or the second special game is specified is executed (step S283). Then, the determined variation pattern is set (step S284). After setting the variation pattern in this step S284, according to the determined variation pattern, the special symbol game to specify the timing to display the lottery result on the first special symbol display device 1701 or the second special symbol display device 1702 is set (step S285). After that, it is set whether to start either the first special game or the second special game in accordance with the variable special figure designation buffer value (step S286).

Here, using the variation pattern type determination table for big hit and the variation pattern type determination table for loss determined in steps S271 and S276 when the value of the game state designation buffer is other than "2", step S283 The shortest variation time that can be determined in step S283 is not determined when the value of the game state designation buffer is "2". When the value of the game state designation buffer is other than "2", the total time when the first special game or the second special game has been played for a predetermined number of times is calculated as follows. 2”, it is configured to be shorter than the total time when the first special game or the second special game is played for the predetermined number of times. Hereinafter, the configuration will be referred to as "fluctuation time reduction function", and the setting of at least one of the high probability flag and the time reduction flag will be referred to as "operation of the fluctuation time reduction function".

Following the processing of step S286, settings are made for transmitting various commands for when the special symbols start to fluctuate (step S287). For example, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 1213, from the main board 1200 to the production control board 1900, the game state designation command (command 95XX (H) described above), the first special figure game Start command (command 8001 (H) described above), variation pattern specification command (command 81XX (H) described above), variable display result notification command (command 8CXX (H) described above), pending storage count notification command (command C1XX (H), command C2XX (H), and command C3XX (H)), the RAM 1212 is provided with setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 1211 of the first fluctuation start command table prepared in advance. Store in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer in the send command buffer. On the other hand, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the CPU 1213 sends the game state designation command (command 95XX (H) mentioned above) to the production control board 1900 from the main board 1200, the second special figure game Start command (command 8002 (H) described above), variation pattern specification command (command 81XX (H) described above), variable display result notification command (command 8CXX (H) described above), pending storage count notification command (command C1XX (H), command C2XX (H), and command C3XX (H)), setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 1211 of the second fluctuation start command table prepared in advance is stored in the transmission command buffer. Stores in the buffer area specified by the send command pointer. The game state specification command, the first special game start command or the second special game start command, the variation pattern specification command, the variable display result notification command, and the pending memory number notification command stored in this way are produced from the main board 1200 To control board 1900 to be transmitted in order of game state designation command, pending memory number notification command, first special figure game start command or second special figure game start command, variation pattern specification command, variable display result notification command It's becoming In addition, the order in which these effect control commands are transmitted can be changed arbitrarily. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (step S241), and the special symbol normal process is terminated.

The special symbol variation processing executed in step S111 of FIG. 10 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "1", and whether the variation time specified by the variation pattern specification command has passed The first step for determining whether or not, the time to continue to display the lottery result after the lottery result is displayed on the first special symbol display device 1701 or the second special symbol display device 1702 (hereinafter, simply "special The second step of setting the special symbol stop period determined as well as the determined special symbol stop period to the timer storage area TM provided in the RAM 1212, and when the variation time specified by the variation pattern specification command has passed and a third step of updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "2" corresponding to the special symbol stop processing, and the special symbol stop processing is completed by performing the third step.

FIG. 16 is a flow chart showing an example of the special symbol stop processing executed in step S112 of FIG. In the special symbol stop process executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "2", the CPU 1213 first performs the process of subtracting 1 from the value of the timer storage area TM described above (step S300). Next, it is determined whether or not the value in the timer storage area TM is 0 (step S301). Here, when it is determined that the value of the timer storage area TM is not 0 (step S301; NO), the special symbol stop processing is terminated.

Also, when the value of the timer storage area TM is determined to be 0 (step S301; YES), it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (step S302). At this time, if the jackpot flag is ON (step S302; YES), the first process timer before opening the big winning opening (PT) is set (step S303).

FIG. 17-1 is a flow chart showing an example of the first process timer setting process before opening the big winning opening executed in step S303 of FIG. In this first process timer setting process before opening the big winning hole, first, the current game state designating buffer value is read (step S350). Next, the value of the counter corresponding to the total reserved storage number is read (step S351).

Here, FIGS. 17-2(A) and 17-2(B) show the gaming state designation buffer value read out at step S350 and the total reserved storage number read out at step S351. Description exemplifying the first process timer before opening the big winning mouth and the winning start designation command determination table used to determine the EXT part of the first big winning mouth opening process timer value and the winning start designation command A0XX (H) using It is a diagram. Here, the first process timer before opening the big winning hole and the winning start designation command determination table illustrated in FIG. 17-2(A) are tables used when the game state designation buffer value is "2". Also, the first process timer before opening the big winning hole and the hit start designation command determination table illustrated in FIG. 17-2(B) are tables used when the game state designation buffer value is other than "2". In addition, as described above, the game state designation buffer value is set to "2" when both the high probability flag and the time saving flag are not set.

Now, when the processing of step S350 and step S351 is performed, if the current game state designation buffer value read is "2", the read total reserved storage number and the The first process timer before opening the large winning opening and the start of winning based on the first process timer before opening the large winning opening and the winning start specifying command determination table used when the game state designating buffer value shown is "2" The EXT portion of the designated command A0XX (H) is determined, and if the read current game state designation buffer value is other than "2", the read total reserved storage number and FIG. 17-2 (B) The process timer value before opening the large winning opening and the winning start based on the first process timer before opening the large winning opening and the winning start specifying command determination table used when the game state designation buffer value shown in 1 is other than "2" Determining processing of the first process timer before opening the big winning opening for determining the EXT portion of the designated command A0XX (H) (also referred to as winning start designated command determining processing) is performed (step S352).

Next, the determined first process timer value before opening the big winning opening is set in the process timer storage area PT provided in the RAM 1212 (step S353), and the first process timer setting process before opening the big winning opening is finished. The first process timer before opening the large winning opening set in step 353 is used in the pre-opening processing of step S113, and the period set by the first process timer before opening the large winning opening is terminated. Triggered by the fact that it has been done, it is designed to shift to the processing during the opening of the big winning opening of step S114 shown in FIG.

Here, there are many timings other than the timing of step S351 for reading the total pending storage number. However, since the timing of step S351 is the timing at which the read total pending storage number is likely to increase, the total pending storage number is read out at this timing.

Now, following the process of step S303, the initial value of "1" is set to the value of the number of opening times counter for the big winning opening and the initial value of "1" is set to the value of the opening pattern counter (step S304). ). The value of the number of opening times of the big winning opening counter and the value of the opening pattern counter are used together with the special electric accessory operation mode table 1 to the special electric accessory operation mode table 3 shown in FIGS. 18-1 to 18-3. ing. Specifically, when the jackpot type value set in step S266 is "1", the special electric accessory operation mode table 1 shown in FIG. 18-1 is used, When the jackpot type value set in step S266 is "2", the special electric accessary product operation mode table 2 shown in FIG. 18-2 is used, and is set in step S266. If the jackpot type value is "3", the special electric accessary product operation mode table 3 shown in FIG. 18-3 is used. The number of continuous operations of the special electric accessory operation mode table 1 to the special electric accessory operation mode table 3 corresponds to the value of the large winning opening opening counter, and the special electric accessory operation mode table 1 to the number of steps to be executed in the opening pattern of the special electric accessary product operation mode table 3 corresponds to the value of the opening pattern counter.

Following the processing of step S304, setting processing for transmitting the winning start designation command A0XX (H) from the main substrate 1200 to the effect control substrate 1900 is performed (step S305). The process of step S305 includes the process of specifying the winning start designation command determined in step S303, and the winning start designation command to be transmitted in the winning start designation command table in which a plurality of types of winning start designation commands are defined in the ROM 1211. and storing the setting data indicating the storage address in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer.

After performing step S305, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "3" which is the value corresponding to the big winning opening pre-opening process (step S306). Next, using the setting data stored in the buffer area described above, a hit start designation command is transmitted from the main board 1200 to the effect control board 1900 (step S307). In addition, when transmitting the hit start designation command, all or part of the data stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit, the second special figure reservation storage unit and the start data storage unit are controlled from the main board 1200 It may be transmitted to substrate 1900 .

Then, the setting for ending the variable probability state and the time saving state is performed (step S308). For example, in the process of step S308, the CPU 1213 performs a process in which the high probability flag and the time saving flag are not set, a probability variation number counter for counting the number of times the special figure game remains in the probability variation state, a special figure game in the time saving state A time-saving number counter for counting the remaining number of times, and a process of clearing the count value of the number of fluctuations described later. Further, following the clearing process in step S308, the process of clearing the big hit flag to turn it off is also executed (step S309), and the special symbol stop process is terminated.

At step S302, when the jackpot flag is off (step S302; NO), the variation count determination process after the end of the hit (step S310) is performed. The processing of this step S310 consists of the first step of counting the number of executions of the special game in which the jackpot flag is turned off (the number of consecutive "losses"), and the story setting processing (step S489), which will be described later. A second step of determining whether or not the number of executions of the special game counted in the first step has reached the default value for varying the settings related to the effect set by the second step, and it is determined that the default value has been reached and a third step of changing the setting regarding the performance if the current setting is changed and maintaining the current setting regarding the performance if it is determined that the predetermined value has not been reached.

After executing the process of step S310, the state in which the high probability flag is set (hereinafter also referred to as "probability variable state") to the state in which the high probability flag is not set. End determination processing (step S311) is performed. The processing of this step S311 is the first step of counting the number of executions of the special game executed when the high probability flag is set, and the probability variable set in the story setting processing (step S489) described later. A second step of determining whether or not the number of executions of the special game counted in the first step has reached the default value for terminating the state, and a high probability flag when it is determined that the default value has been reached and a third step of maintaining the high-probability flag in a set state when it is determined that the predetermined value has not been reached.

After executing the process of step S311, the time saving end determination that determines whether or not to shift from the state in which the time saving flag is set (hereinafter also referred to as "time saving state") to the state in which the time saving flag is not set Processing (step S312) is performed. The processing of this step S312 is the first step of counting the number of executions of the special game executed when the time saving flag is set, and the time saving state set in the story setting process (step S489) described later. A second step of determining whether the number of executions of the special game counted in the first step has reached the default value for ending the second step, and if it is determined that the default value has been reached, a time saving flag is set and a third step of maintaining the state in which the time saving flag is set when it is determined that the predetermined value has not been reached while changing to a state where the time saving flag is not reached.

After performing the process of step S312, a special figure process flag is cleared and the value is initialized to "0" (step S313). After executing the process of step S313, the next variable game state value determination process (step S314) is executed, and the special symbol stop process ends.

Here, this next variable game state value determination process is a process of determining in what kind of game state the next special figure game will be played. It is determined in step S314 what state is the set state related to the effect, the set state of the high probability flag changed or maintained in step S311, and the set state of the time saving flag changed or maintained in step S312. . In step S314, among the determined states, the game state value corresponding to the set state of the high probability flag and the time saving flag is stored in the game state designation buffer.

In the process before opening the big winning opening, the CPU 1213 sets a process timer before opening the big winning opening (hereinafter simply referred to as "PT") set in the process timer storage area PT in step S303 described above or step S455 described later. is subtracted by 1 (step S400). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of PT is 0 (step S401), and if the value of PT is not 0 (step S401; NO), the big winning opening pre-opening process is terminated.

In addition, when the value of PT is 0 (step S401; YES), the CPU 1213 first updates the value of the special process flag to "4" which is the value corresponding to the process during the opening of the big winning opening. (step S402).

Next, the jackpot type value is read out from the specified buffer set in step S266 (step S403). Next, the value of the large winning opening opening frequency counter updated in step S304 or step S407 and the value of the opening pattern counter updated in step S304 or step S416 described later are read out (step S404).

Next, a process for setting the first big winning hole flag or the second big winning hole flag is performed (step S405). This step S405 is, first, using the jackpot type value read in step S403, the first step of specifying which special electric accessary product operation mode table to be used, and the opening of the big winning opening read in step S404. a second step of specifying which of the first special electric role product 1140 and the second special electric role product 1150 to operate from the value of the number counter and the special electric role product operation mode table specified in the first step; , the third step of setting the first big winning opening flag when the first special electric role product 1140 is operated in the second step, and the second step to operate the second special electric role product 1150 and a fourth step of setting the second big winning hole flag when it is decided.

For example, when the jackpot type value read out in step S403 is "1" and the value of the big winning opening opening number counter read out in step S404 is "1", a special electric drive as shown in FIG. The CPU 1213 refers to the number of continuous operations in the role product operation mode table 1 for the first time, and sets the first big winning opening flag. Further, when the jackpot type value read at step S403 is "2" and the value of the big winning opening opening counter read at step S404 is "5", the special electric role is shown in FIG. 18-2. The CPU 1213 refers to the number of consecutive actions in the object action mode table 2, which is the fifth, and sets the second big winning hole flag. Further, when the jackpot type value read at step S403 is "3" and the value of the big winning opening opening counter read at step S404 is "6", the special electric role is shown in FIG. 18-3. The CPU 1213 refers to the 6th consecutive operation count in the object operation mode table 3, and sets the first big winning opening flag.

Next, a setting process of a process timer during opening of the big winning opening and an opening pattern timer (T) is performed (step S406). This step S406 is, first, using the jackpot type value read in step S403, the first step of specifying which special electric accessary product operation mode table to be used, and the opening of the big winning opening read in step S404. A second step of specifying what the value of the process timer during the opening of the large winning opening is from the value of the number counter and the special electric accessory operation mode table specified in the first step; a third step of identifying the value of the opening pattern timer from the value of the winning opening opening number counter, the value of the opening pattern counter, and the special electric accessory operation mode table identified in the first step; Configured.

For example, if the jackpot type value read at step S403 is "1", the value of the big winning opening opening number counter read at step S404 is "1", and the value of the opening pattern counter is "1", As shown in FIG. 18-1, the CPU 1213 refers to the number of continuous operations in the special electric accessory operation mode table 1 for the first time, and the value of the process timer during the opening of the big winning opening is 1.848 seconds and the opening pattern. The first step is to specify that the value of the release pattern timer (T) is 1.848 seconds. Also, if the jackpot type value read out in step S403 is "2", the value of the large winning opening opening count counter read out in step S404 is "5", and the value of the opening pattern counter is "1", As shown in 18-2, the CPU 1213 refers to the number of times of continuous operation of the special electric accessary product operation mode table 2 for the fifth time, and the value of the process timer during the opening of the big prize opening is 29.000 seconds, and the number of opening patterns. It is defined as one step to specify that the value of the release pattern timer (T) is 29.000 seconds. Also, if the jackpot type value read at step S403 is "3", the value of the big winning opening opening number counter read at step S404 is "6", and the value of the opening pattern counter is "3", As shown in 18-3, the CPU 1213 refers to the number of times of continuous operation of the special electric accessary product operation mode table 3 for the sixth time, and confirms that the value of the process timer during the opening of the big winning opening is 28.848 seconds and the number of the opening pattern. It is defined as 3 steps to specify a release pattern timer (T) value of 25.000 seconds.

Next, +1 is applied to the value of the big winning opening opening number counter (step S407). Then, in step S405, the first solenoid 1143 is driven if the first big winning opening flag is set, and the second solenoid 1153 is driven if the second big winning opening flag is set. Accessory product activation processing is performed (step S408).

Next, a process of setting a command during the opening of the large winning opening for designating the display state according to the value of the number of opening of the large winning opening is performed (step S409). The command A1XX(H) set during the opening of the big prize winning opening is transmitted from the main board 1200 to the effect control board 1900 to indicate how many times the continuous operation is performed. It should be noted that the EXT data of the command A1XX(H) during the opening of the big winning opening is set to a different value according to the number of consecutive operations. .

FIGS. 20-1 and 20-2 are flowcharts showing an example of the process during the opening of the big winning opening executed in step S114 of FIG. In the process during the opening of the big winning opening, the CPU 1213 subtracts 1 from the value of the opening pattern timer (hereinafter simply referred to as "T") set in step S406 (step S410). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of T is 0 (step S411), and if the value of T is not 0 (step S411; NO), the big winning opening set in step S406 or the like is opened. A process of subtracting 1 from the middle process timer (PT) is executed (step S417).

If it is determined in step S410 that the value of T is 0 (step S411; YES), the next step of determining whether or not there is an opening pattern is performed (step S412). This step S412 is a process of determining whether or not there is a next step in the opening pattern from the value of the large winning opening opening number counter read in step S404, the value of the opening pattern counter, and the special electric accessory operation mode table to be used. It has become. For example, if the jackpot type value read at step S403 is "1", the value of the big winning opening opening number counter read at step S404 is "6", and the value of the opening pattern counter is "1", Since "second step" is set as the release pattern for the next step, in such a situation, it is determined that the release pattern for the next step is "yes" in step S412. In addition, when the jackpot type value read out in step S403 is "3", the value of the large winning opening opening count counter read out in step S404 is "6", and the value of the opening pattern counter is "3", Since the opening pattern of the step is not set, in such a situation, in step S412, it is determined that there is no opening pattern of the next step.

Then, when it is determined that the opening pattern of the next step is "no" (step S412; NO), a process of subtracting 1 from the value of the process timer during the opening of the big winning opening set in step S406 or the like is executed. (step S417).

Also, when it is determined that the opening pattern of the next step is "present" (step S412; YES), it is determined whether or not the special electric accessory is in operation. For example, if the jackpot type value read out in step S403 is "1", the value of the big winning hole opening count counter read out in step S404 is "6", and the value of the opening pattern counter is "1", Since the release pattern is in the state of "first step: open for 1.848 seconds", it is determined in step S412 that the first special electric accessory 1140 is in the operating state. Further, when the jackpot type value read out in step S403 is "2", the value of the big winning hole opening number counter read out in step S404 is "6", and the value of the opening pattern counter is "2", it is opened. Since the pattern is "second step: closed for 2.000 seconds", it is determined in step S412 that the first special electric accessory 1140 is in the non-operating state.

Then, when it is determined that the special electric role product is in operation (step S413; YES), a process of stopping the operation of the special electric role product is performed (step S414). Also, if it is determined that the special electric accessory is not in operation (step S413; NO), the first solenoid 1143 is turned on if the first big winning opening flag is set in step S405. If the second prize winning opening flag is set, a special electric accessary product actuation process for driving the second solenoid 1153 is performed (step S415).

After the processing of steps S414 and S415 is performed, next step opening pattern setting processing is performed (step S416). This step S416 includes a first step of setting the opening pattern timer value of the next step defined in the special electric accessary product operation mode table to the opening pattern timer T, and a second step of increasing the value of the opening pattern counter by +1. , If the next step is the second step defined in the special electric accessory operation mode table, the second step start designation command, if the next step is the third step defined in the special electric accessory operation mode table and a third step of setting a command specifying the start of the third step. In addition, the second step start designation command or the third step start designation command set in the third step is transmitted from the main board 1200 to the effect control board 1900 . Then, following step S416, a process of subtracting 1 from the value of the process timer during the opening of the big winning opening set in step S406 is executed (step S417 in FIG. 20-2).

Following the processing of step S417, it is determined whether or not PT has become 0 (step S418). Then, when it is determined that the PT is not 0 (S418; NO), a process related to whether or not the game ball has entered the first big winning hole 1141 or the second big winning hole 1151 is executed (step S419 to step S424). Also, when it is determined that the PT is 0 (S418; YES), a process for ending the process during the opening of the big winning opening is executed (steps S425 to S427).

First, when it is determined that the PT is not 0 (S418; NO), it is determined whether or not the first big winning opening flag is set in step S405 (step S419). Then, if the first big winning opening flag is set (step S419; YES), it is determined whether or not the first big winning opening switch 1142 is turned on (step S420). Here, if the first big winning hole switch 1142 has not changed to the ON state (step S420; NO), the process during opening the big winning hole is terminated. Further, when the second big winning opening flag is set (step S419; NO), it is determined whether or not the second big winning opening switch 1152 is turned on (step S421). Here, if the second large winning opening switch 1152 has not changed to the ON state (step S421; NO), the processing during opening of the large winning opening is terminated.

Next, when it is determined that the first large winning opening switch 1142 is in the ON state in step S420 (step S420; YES), and the second large winning opening switch 1152 is in the ON state in step S421. (Step S421; YES), the winning number counter provided in the RAM 1212 is incremented by 1 to count the number of winning game balls into the first big winning hole 1141 or the second big winning hole 1151. (step S422). In addition, during execution of the processing during the opening of the large winning opening, a winning command during opening of the large winning opening indicating that the game ball has entered the first large winning opening 1141 or the second large winning opening 1151 is set (step S423). ). The winning command during opening of the big winning opening thus set is transmitted from the main board 1200 to the effect control board 1900 .

After step S423, a process of confirming whether or not the value of the winning number counter is a specified value (for example, 10) is executed (step S424). Then, if the value of the winning number counter does not reach the specified value (step S424; NO), the process during opening of the big winning opening is terminated.

In addition, when the value of the winning number counter reaches the specified value (step S424; YES), the special electric accessary product operation mode table specified from the jackpot type value read in step S403 and the operation mode table read in step S404 A process timer setting process after opening the big winning opening is performed to specify the value of the after opening big winning opening counter and the value of the process timer after opening the big winning opening (step S425).

Following step S425, processing for stopping the operation of the special electric accessory is performed (step S426). Specifically, if the first big winning opening flag is set in step S405, the first solenoid 1143 is set, and if the second big winning opening flag is set, the second solenoid 1153 are respectively driven to operate the first special electric role item 1140 or the second special electric role item 1150 which is a variable winning device so that the game ball does not enter the first big prize opening 1141 or the second big prize opening 1151 to stop. After that, after updating the value of the special figure process flag to "5" which is a value corresponding to the processing after opening the large winning opening (step S427), the processing during opening the large winning opening is ended.

FIGS. 21-1 and 21-2 are flowcharts showing an example of the process after opening the big winning opening, which is executed in step S115 of FIG. In the processing after opening the big winning opening, the CPU 1213 subtracts 1 from the value of the process timer after opening the big winning opening set in step S425 (step S450). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the process timer after opening the big winning opening is 0 (step S451), and if the value of the process timer after opening the big winning opening is not 0 (step S451; A process (steps S461 to S464) relating to whether or not the game ball has entered the winning hole 1141 or the second big winning hole 1151 is executed. Further, when it is determined that the process timer after opening the big winning opening is 0 (S451; YES), after the processing for ending the processing after opening the big winning opening (steps S452 to S460), A process (steps S461 to S464) relating to whether or not the game ball has won the first big winning hole 1141 or the second big winning hole 1151 is executed.

Here, when it is determined that the process timer is 0 after the opening of the big winning opening (S451; YES), the winning number counter is cleared (step S452). Next, the value of the big winning opening opening number counter updated in step S407 is read out (step S453).

Next, the maximum value of the number of continuous operations defined in the special electric role product operation mode table specified from the jackpot type value read in step S403, and the value of the big winning opening opening number counter read in step S453. A comparison is made (step S454).

Then, when it is determined that the value of the big winning opening opening frequency counter exceeds the maximum value (step S454; YES), a process of setting a jackpot ending process timer used in the jackpot ending process of step S116 is performed. (Step S458). Next, a plurality of jackpot end commands (command A3XX (H) described above) indicating that the jackpot has ended are prepared, and the process of specifying which jackpot end command to set using the jackpot type value etc. is performed. Execute (step S459). The jackpot end command A3XX(H) thus set is transmitted from the main board 1200 to the performance control board 1900. - 特許庁After that, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6" corresponding to the jackpot end processing (step S460), and then the game ball wins the first big winning hole 1141 or the second big winning hole 1151. or not (steps S461 to S464).

Further, when it is determined that the value of the large winning opening opening number counter does not exceed the maximum value (step S454; NO), the process before opening the large winning opening used in the processing before opening the large winning opening in step S113 A timer setting process is performed (step S455). In this step S455, based on the special electric role product operation mode table specified from the jackpot type value read out in step S403 and the value of the big winning mouth opening number counter read out in step S453, the big win of step S113 It is a process of setting the value of the process timer before opening the big winning opening used in the mouth opening pre-processing. Next, a plurality of commands after opening the large winning opening are prepared for each number of times of continuous operation of the special electric accessory operation mode table, and which command after opening the large winning opening is read in step S453. A specifying process is executed based on the value of the open number counter, etc. (step S456). The command A2XX (H) after opening the big winning hole thus set is transmitted from the main board 1200 to the effect control board 1900 . After that, after updating the value of the special figure process flag to "3" which is the value corresponding to the large winning opening pre-opening process (step S4457), the game ball to the first large winning opening 1141 or the second large winning opening 1151 wins or not (steps S461 to S464).

After executing the process of step S451; NO, step S457 or step S460 as described above, it is determined whether or not the first big winning hole flag is set in step S405 (step S461). ). Then, if the first big winning opening flag is set (step S461; YES), it is determined whether or not the first big winning opening switch 1142 is turned on (step S462). Here, if the first big winning hole switch 1142 has not changed to the ON state (step S462; NO), the processing after opening the big winning hole is terminated. Further, when the second big winning opening flag is set (step S461; NO), it is determined whether or not the second big winning opening switch 1152 is turned on (step S463). Here, if the second big winning opening switch 1152 has not changed to the ON state (step S463; NO), the processing after opening the big winning opening is terminated.

Next, when it is determined that the first large winning opening switch 1142 is ON at step S462 (step S462; YES), and the second large winning opening switch 1152 is turned ON at step S463. If it is determined that there is (step S463; YES), it is a big game ball indicating that the winning of the game ball to the first big winning hole 1141 or the second big winning hole 1151 occurred during the execution of the big winning hole opening post-processing. After the winning opening is opened, a winning command is set (step S464). The winning command set in this manner after the opening of the big winning opening is transmitted from the main board 1200 to the effect control board 1900 .

FIG. 22 is a flow chart showing an example of the jackpot ending process executed in step S116 of FIG. In the jackpot end processing shown in FIG. 22, the CPU 1213 first performs jackpot end display period determination processing (step S480). This big-hit end display period determination process is a process of determining whether or not the time of the big-hit end process timer set in step S458 has elapsed. Incidentally, when it is determined in step S480 that the time of the jackpot end process timer has not elapsed, the jackpot end processing is terminated.

Next, after it is determined that the time of the jackpot end process timer set in step S458 has elapsed, a state data designation table for special figure 2 jackpot end is set (step S481). This special figure 2 jackpot ending state data specification table is a table to be referred to when the lottery result based on the second special figure game is "big hit".

Next, the variable special figure designation buffer value set at step S237 or step S247 is read (step S482). Then, it is determined whether the read fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is "1" or "2" (step S483).

When the variable special figure designation buffer value read in step S483 is "1", the special figure 1 jackpot end state data designation table is set instead of the special figure 2 jackpot end state data designation table. (Step S484). This special figure 1 jackpot ending state data specification table is a table to be referred to when the lottery result based on the first special figure game is "big hit". Further, when the variable special figure designation buffer value read out in step S483 is "2", the state data designation table at the time of jackpot end for special figure 2 is set.

Next, at step S314, the game state value stored in the game state designation buffer is read (step S485), and at the same time, the jackpot type value set at step S266 is read (step S486). Then, using the set special figure 1 jackpot end state data specification table or special figure 2 jackpot end state data specification table, and the read game state value and jackpot type value, step S487 to be described later. The state setting after the big hit constituted by step S489 is performed.

First, as one of the state settings after the big hit, after the end of the big hit, a table for determining the lottery result for the high probability state is used in the special symbol big hit determination process of step S238 in the special symbol normal process of step S110. A high-probability flag setting process for determining whether or not to set the above-described high-probability flag used for determining whether to use the lottery result determination table for the low-probability state is performed (step S487).

In addition, as one of the state settings after the big hit, after the big hit is finished, in the normal symbol process processing of step S26, a table for determining the lottery result for time saving to be described later is used or the table for determining the lottery result for normal time is used. A time saving flag setting process for determining whether or not to set the above time saving flag used for determining whether or not to use the table is performed (step S488).

Furthermore, as one of the state settings after the big hit, after the end of the big hit, the default value for changing the setting related to the effect used in step S310 in the special symbol stop process of step S112, the default value for ending the variable state used in step S311 and A story setting process such as a process of setting a default value for ending the time saving state used in step S312 is performed (step S489).

Next, in steps S487, S488 and S489, predetermined information is set in a predetermined buffer area in order to transmit a post-jackpot production state designation command designating the state after the set jackpot to the production control board 1900 ( step S490). This post-big hit production state designation command is transmitted from the main board 1200 to the production control board 1900 .

Next, the setting contents of how to operate the first special electric accessory 1140 and/or the second special electric accessory 1150 such as the value of the large winning opening opening number counter used in the large winning opening opening pre-processing and Various stored contents related to the jackpot such as the jackpot type value are cleared (step S491).

After executing the processing of step S491, the special figure process flag is cleared, the value is initialized to "0" (step S493), and the jackpot end processing is terminated.

If it is determined that the number A counter value is not "1" (step S602; NO), then it is determined whether or not the read number A counter value is the limit value "50" ( step S604). Then, when it is determined that the number A counter value is not "50" (step S604; NO), a pre-limit jackpot end state determination process (step S605) is executed.

This pre-limit jackpot end time state determination processing is the special figure 2 jackpot end time state data specification table set in step S481 or the special figure 1 jackpot end time state data specification set in step S484. In the table, processing for determining whether or not the state at the end of the jackpot specified by the game state value read in step S485, the jackpot type value read in step S486, etc. is a time saving state, and the content of the effect after the jackpot is determined. It consists of a process to

This limit reaching time jackpot end state determination processing is the special figure 2 jackpot end state data designation table set in step S481 or the special figure 1 jackpot end state data designation table set in step S484. In the table, processing for determining whether or not the state at the end of the jackpot specified by the game state value read in step S485, the jackpot type value read in step S486, etc. is a time saving state, and the content of the effect after the jackpot is determined. It consists of a process to Here, in the processing for determining the content of the effect after the big hit, for example, after the big win in which the high probability flag is not set due to reaching the limit, a command or the like is determined to specify how the effect display device 1109 is to be operated. It is designed to

Next, it is determined whether or not the determination result in the state determination processing at the end of the first jackpot, the state determination processing at the end of the jackpot before reaching the limit, or the state determination processing at the end of the jackpot at the time of reaching the limit is the time saving state (step S608), When it determines with a time saving state (step S608; YES), the above-mentioned time saving flag is set (step S609), and a time saving flag setting process is complete|finished.

Moreover, when it determines with it not being a time saving state in step S608 (step S608; NO), the time saving flag set process is complete|finished, without setting the above-mentioned time saving flag. In addition, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot type value is "3", the time saving flag is set in step S605 regardless of the number A counter value, and the jackpot type value is "1", In the case of "2", the time saving flag is not set regardless of the number A counter value.

FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of story setting processing executed in step S489 of FIG. First, in this process, a process of adding 1 to the number B counter value is performed (step S700). In this step S700, in this embodiment, the value of the count B designation buffer provided in the RAM 1212 is updated to a value incremented by one. Further, as described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the high probability flag is not set when the counter value of the number of consecutive wins reaches the limit value, but in the story setting process of the present embodiment , the limit value of the number B counter value is set to the same number of times as the limit value of the consecutive chance counter value.

After step S700, the updated count B counter value is read (step S701). Next, it is determined whether or not the number B counter value read in step S701 has reached a limit value (step S702). Then, when it is determined that the number B counter value has not reached the limit value (step S702; NO), a pre-limit jackpot end state determination process (step S703) is executed, and the story setting process ends.

This pre-limit jackpot end time state determination processing is the special figure 2 jackpot end time state data specification table set in step S481 or the special figure 1 jackpot end time state data specification set in step S484. In the table, from the game state value read at step S485 and the big hit type value read at step S486, the default value for changing the setting related to the effect used at step S310 in the special symbol stop process, and the probability change state used at step S311 The default value for ending and the default value for ending the time-saving state used in step S312 are specified and set in a predetermined storage area provided in the RAM 1212 .

In addition, in this embodiment, the default value set in the state determination processing (step S704) at the end of the jackpot before reaching the limit performed when the number B counter value has not reached the limit value "50 times" is As a result, it is distinguished only by the jackpot type value read in step S486. Specifically, if the jackpot type value is "1", it is determined that "the default value for the short end of the time is 0 times, and the default value for the variable end is 0 times", and the first special after the big hit. The gaming state of the illustrated game is a state in which both the time saving flag and the high probability flag are not set. Also, if the jackpot type value is "2", it is determined that "the default value for the short end is 0 times and the default value for the variable end is 50 times", and the first special game after the big hit The game state is a state in which the time saving flag is not set, but the high probability flag is set. Furthermore, if the jackpot type value is "3", it is determined that "the default value for the short end of the time is 100 times, and the default value for the variable end is 50 times", and the first special game after the big hit The game state is a state in which both the time saving flag and the high probability flag are set.

In addition, in this embodiment, the default value set in the state determination processing (step S705) at the end of the jackpot at the time of reaching the limit performed when the number B counter value reaches the limit value "50 times" is as a result It is distinguished only by the jackpot type value read in step S486. Specifically, when the jackpot type value is "1" or "2", it is determined that "the time saving end default value is 0 times, and the probability variable end default value is 0 times". In the game state of the first special game after that, both the time saving flag and the high probability flag are turned off. Also, if the jackpot type value is "3", it is determined that "the default value for the short end of the time is 100 times, and the default value for the variable end is 0 times", and the first special game after the big hit In the game state of , the time saving flag is turned on and the high probability flag is turned off.

FIG. 26 is a flow chart showing an example of normal symbol process processing in step S26. In this normal symbol process processing, the CPU 1213 first executes gate passage determination processing (step S1000). For example, in the gate passage determination process in step S1000, based on the detection signals from the gate switches 1133 and 1133, it is determined whether or not the gate switches 1133 and 1133 are on. do. On the other hand, when the gate switches 1133, 1133 are on, the normal diagram reservation storage count value indicating the normal diagram reservation storage number, which is the number of reservation data stored in the predetermined normal diagram reservation storage unit, is the normal diagram reservation upper limit value. If it has reached, the passage of the game ball this time through the passage gate is invalidated, and the gate passage determination processing is terminated. On the other hand, if the normal pattern holding upper limit value is not reached, for example, from among the numerical data updated by the random counter provided in the random number circuit 1214 or the RAM 1212, the random value MR4 for determining the normal pattern display result Extract numerical data that indicate The random number value is stored by setting the numeric data indicating the random number value extracted at this time to the head of the empty entry in the predetermined normal figure reservation storage unit as the reserved data. In this case, the gate passage determination process is terminated after updating the normal pattern reservation storage count value by adding 1.

After executing the gate passage determination process of step S1000, the CPU1213 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S1100 to S1400 shown in FIG.

The normal design normal process of step S1100 is executed when the value of the normal pattern process flag is "0". In this normal design normal process, whether or not to start the normal design game by the normal design display is determined based on the presence or absence of the reserved data stored in the predetermined normal reserved storage unit. At this time, for example, if there is reserved data stored in a predetermined general pattern reservation storage unit, whether the general pattern display result, which is the variable display result of the normal pattern in the general pattern game, is set as "normal pattern hit". After executing the normal pattern display determination process for determining whether to be "normal pattern loss", the value of the normal pattern process flag is updated to "1".

In the general pattern display result determination process, based on the numerical data MR4 indicating the random number value for general pattern display result determination included in the reserved data read from the predetermined normal pattern reservation storage unit, the values shown in Fig. 6-2 (D) The general pattern display result determination table is referenced to determine the general pattern display result.

In addition, in the normal pattern display result determination process, the normal pattern fluctuation time corresponding to the normal pattern display result is also determined. At this time, if the time saving flag is set, it is set so that the normal figure fluctuation time is shorter than when the time saving flag is not set, and the variable display result of "normal figure per" is derived display The interval to be set is shorter when the time saving flag is set than when the time saving flag is not set. As a result, in the state where the time saving flag is set, compared to the state where the time saving flag is not set, the frequency that the normal electric accessory 1120 expands the size of the second start port 1121 is increased. ing. Therefore, the state in which the time saving flag is set makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting port 1121 compared to the state in which the time saving flag is not set. Such a state in which the normal pattern fluctuation time is set to be shortened is hereinafter referred to as "the operation state of the normal pattern display device fluctuation time reduction function".

Furthermore, in the normal map display result determination process, when the normal map display result is set to "normal map hit", the tilt control time, which is the time during which the entrance of the second starting port 1121 is kept enlarged, is also determined. At this time, when the time saving flag is set, the tilting control time is set to be longer than when the time saving flag is not set. As a result, when the time saving flag is set, the time during which the normal electric accessory 1120 expands the size of the second start port 1121 is longer than when the time saving flag is not set. ing. Therefore, the state in which the time saving flag is set makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting port 1121 compared to the state in which the time saving flag is not set. Hereinafter, the state in which the tilting control time is set to be longer in this way will be referred to as the "open extension function operating state of the normal electric accessory".

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment operates the probability variation function of the normal design display device and operates the variation time reduction function of the normal design display device when the time saving flag is set. The opening extension function of the normal electric accessory is also to be activated, but when the time saving flag is set, the fluctuation time reduction function of the normal pattern display device, the probability change function of the normal pattern display device, or the normal At least one of the opening extension functions of the electric accessory may be activated.

The normal design variation process of step S1200 is executed when the value of the normal pattern process flag is "1". In this normal design variation process, the setting for varying the normal design in the normal design display device by the normal design variation time corresponding to the normal design display result determined in the normal design display result determination process performed in step S1100. is performed, and the elapsed time after the normal pattern starts to change is measured. Further, it is determined whether or not the elapsed time thus measured has reached a predetermined normal pattern fluctuation time. When the normal pattern variation processing of step S1200 is completed, the value of the normal pattern process flag is updated to "2".

The normal design stop processing of step S1300 is executed when the value of the normal pattern process flag is "2". In this normal design stop processing, the normal design display device stops the fluctuation of the normal design based on the lapse of the normal design fluctuation time described above, and stops and displays the fixed normal design that is the variable display result of the normal design. Make settings for When the processing in the case of "general pattern loss" is completed in the normal design stop processing of step S1300, the value of the general pattern process flag is updated to "0", and when the processing in the case of "general pattern hit" is completed, the general pattern Update the value of the process flag to "3".

The normal electric accessary product operation process of step S1400 is executed when the value of the normal pattern process flag is "3". In this ordinary electric accessory actuation process, the ordinary electric accessory 1120 is operated in a predetermined manner such as the aforementioned tilting control time in response to the fact that the variable display result in the normal game is "win". It is in the process of being activated. When the normal electric accessary product operation process of step S1400 is completed, the value of the normal figure process flag is updated to "0".

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an example of information output processing in step S30. First, in the information output process, the CPU 1213 performs start port related output process (step S2000). This starting hole-related output process is a process related to the output of a starting hole signal for transmitting to the hall computer 2000 that the game ball has entered the first starting hole 1111 or the second starting hole 1121 . In this embodiment, in this starting port related output process, when the first starting port switch 1112 or the second starting port switch 1122 detects a game ball, the CPU 1213 puts "1" in the bit position corresponding to the starting port signal of the register. is set, and then "1" is set in the bit position corresponding to the starting port signal of the output port buffer provided in the RAM 1212. FIG. In addition, in this starting port related output process, when a plurality of game balls are detected by the first starting port switch 1112 or the second starting port switch 1122 within a predetermined period, the CPU 1213 responds to the starting port signal of the register. After setting "1" to the bit position to be set, the first start switch 1112 or the second start switch 1122 detects the operation of setting "0" to the bit position until a predetermined condition is satisfied. It is designed to repeat as many times as the number of played game balls.

Next, the CPU 1213 performs symbol determination related output processing (step S2100). This symbol confirmation related output process is a process related to the output of a symbol confirmation signal for transmitting to the hall computer 2000 that one round of the first special game or the second special game has been completed. In this embodiment, this symbol determination related output process, in the special symbol stop process (step S112), the period to continue to display the lottery result to the first special symbol display device 1701 or the second special symbol display device 1702 is When finished (S301; YES), the CPU 1213 sets "1" to the bit position corresponding to the design confirmation signal in the register, and then sets "1" to the bit position corresponding to the design confirmation signal in the output port buffer provided in the RAM 1212. 1” is set. The CPU 1213 sets "0" to the bit position after a predetermined period of time has elapsed after setting "1" to the bit position.

Next, the CPU 1213 performs jackpot-related output processing (steps S2201 to S2209). This jackpot-related output process is a process for outputting the jackpot 1 signal to the jackpot 3 signal to the hall computer 2000 . In this jackpot related output process, first read the value of the current special figure process flag (step S2201). Then, the current value of the special figure process flag and the value of the special figure process flag specifying the big winning opening pre-opening process ("3") are compared (step S2202). And, it is determined whether the value of the special figure process flag is less than 3 (step S2203). It should be noted that this step S2203 has the same value as the process of determining whether or not the first condition device operating condition or the second condition device operating condition is satisfied. In other words, the timing when the first condition device and the second condition device operate is the same value as the timing when the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "3".

When the value of the special figure process flag is 3 or more (step S2203; NO), big hit 1 signal output start processing (step S2204) is performed. In this jackpot 1 signal output start process, the CPU 1213 sets "1" to the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 1 signal in the register, and then sets "1" to the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 1 signal in the output port buffer provided in the RAM 1212. 1” is set.

Following the jackpot 1 signal output start processing, other jackpot signal output start processing (step S2205) is performed. In this other jackpot signal output start processing, the CPU 1213 sets "1" in the bit positions corresponding to the jackpot 2 signal and the jackpot 3 signal in the register, and then sets the jackpot 2 signal and the jackpot 3 signal in the output port buffer provided in the RAM 1212. The processing is to set "1" in the bit position corresponding to the signal.

Moreover, when the value of the special figure process flag is less than 3 (step S2203; YES), next, big hit 1 signal output end processing (step S2206) is performed. In this jackpot 1 signal output termination process, the CPU 1213 sets "0" to the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 1 signal in the register, and then sets "0" to the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 1 signal in the output port buffer provided in the RAM 1212. 0” is set. That is, the determination process of step S2203 has the same value as the process of determining whether or not the above-described special electric auditors product stop condition is satisfied.

Following the jackpot 1 signal output end processing, jackpot 2 signal output end processing (step S2207) is performed. In this jackpot 2-signal output end process, first, the value of the game state designation buffer set in the above-described step S314 is read. Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the read game state designation buffer is "2" indicating that both the high probability flag and the time saving flag are not set. If it is "2", the CPU 1213 sets "0" to the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 2 signal of the register, and then sets "0" to the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 2 signal of the output port buffer provided in the RAM 1212. Set "0". If it is not "2", the CPU 1213 sets "1" to the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 2 signal of the register, and then sets "1" to the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 2 signal of the output port buffer provided in the RAM 1212. 1” is set. It should be noted that the value of the read gaming state designation buffer is "2" indicating a state in which both the high probability flag and the time saving flag are not set, the determination processing of whether or not, after the special electric accessory stop condition is satisfied It is the same value as the process of determining whether or not normal figure high probability end conditions and special figure high probability end conditions are satisfied.

Following the jackpot 2-signal output end processing, jackpot 3-signal output end processing (step S2208) is performed. In this jackpot 3 signal output end process, first, the value of the game state designation buffer set in the above-described step S314 is read. Next, it is determined whether or not the read value of the game state designation buffer is "2" or "3" indicating that the high probability flag is not set. If it is "2" or "3", the CPU 1213 sets "0" in the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 3 signal in the register, and then sets the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 3 signal in the output port buffer provided in the RAM 1212. Set '0' in the bit position to be used. Also, when the value of the gaming state designation buffer is "1" or "4", the CPU 1213 sets "1" to the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 3 signal of the register, and then the output port provided in the RAM 1212. A "1" is set in the bit position corresponding to the jackpot 3 signal in the buffer. It should be noted that the process of determining whether the value of the read game state designation buffer is "2" or "3" indicating that the high probability flag is not set is performed after the special electric accessory stop condition is established. It is the same value as the process of determining whether the special figure high probability end condition is satisfied.

After completing the processing of step S2205 or step S2208, the CPU 1213 performs security-related output processing (step S2300). This security-related output processing is processing for outputting the aforementioned security signal to hole computer 2000 . In this embodiment, when a predetermined abnormal condition occurs, the CPU 1213 sets "1" to the bit position corresponding to the security signal in the register, and then sets the bit corresponding to the security signal in the output port buffer provided in the RAM 1212. The processing is to set "1" to the position. After setting "1" in the bit position, the CPU 1213 sets "0" in the bit position when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

Each of the signals (starting port signal, pattern confirmation signal, jackpot 1 signal, jackpot 2 signal, jackpot 3 signal, security signal) associated with each bit position of the output port buffer is output by the information output circuit for each timer interrupt. 1260 and the terminal relay board 1600 to the hall computer 2000 (step S2400).

When the process of step S6403 is performed, a process of clearing the light emission data when the door is opened for the second board lamp is performed so that the light emission mode when the door is opened does not appear in the second board lamp device 1922 (step S6404). Step S6404 is processing for setting NULL in the lamp control data area, which will be described later.

When the process of step S6404 is performed, a process of clearing the light emission data for the first frame lamp when the door is opened is performed so that the light emission mode when the door is opened does not appear in the first frame lamp device 1911 (step S6405). Step S6405 is processing for setting NULL in the lamp control data area, which will be described later.

After the process of step S6405 is performed, a process of clearing the light emission data for the second frame lamp when the door is opened is performed so that the light emission mode when the door is opened does not appear in the second frame lamp device 1912 (step S6406). In step S6406, the setting of the lamp control data area, which will be described later, is set to NULL.

When the process of step S6406 is performed, clearing data for button lamp when door is opened is performed so that the button lamp WL31 does not show the lighting mode when door is opened (step S6407). Step S6407 is processing for setting NULL in the lamp control data area, which will be described later.

After the processing of step S6407 is performed, all mute release setting processing is performed (step S6408). This mute all release setting process is a process of transmitting a signal designating that none of the sound channels are in a mute state from the effect control board 1900 to the sound control board 1930, and the sound control board 1930, according to the signal, All audio channels are set to revert to a predetermined volume setting.

Next, after executing the processing of step S6300 or step S6400 of FIG. 31, it is determined whether or not the full-tank error flag has been set (step S6500). If it is determined that the full-tank error flag is set (step S6500; YES), full-tank error notification processing (step S6600) is performed.

FIG. 34 is a flow chart showing an example of the full-tank error notification process performed in step S6600 of FIG. In the full-tank error notification process (step S6600), first, it is determined whether or not the full-tank timer is greater than 0 (step S6601). If it is determined that the full-tank timer is 0 or less (step S6601; NO), it is determined whether or not the full-tank flag is set.

If it is determined that the full tank flag is not set in step S6602 (step S6302; NO), 5 seconds is set in the storage area for the full tank timer of the effect control RAM 1903 and the full tank flag is set. Processing is performed (step S6603), and the full-tank error notification processing ends. That is, in the state immediately after the full tank error flag is set in the error flag setting process (step S6100) described above, NO is determined in step S6301, NO is determined in step S6302, and the full tank timer starts. 5 seconds is set.

If it is determined in step S6602 that the full tank flag is set (step S6302; YES), it is determined in step S6303 whether the door open flag that may be set is set. (step S6604). If it is determined that the door open flag is set (step S6604; YES), the full tank error notification process is terminated.

Also, if it is determined that the door open flag is not set (step S6604; NO), 3 seconds is set in the memory area for the full tank timer of the effect control RAM 1903 (step S6605). Next, full-tank error sound channel setting processing (step S6606) is performed, and the full-tank error notification processing ends. In addition, the process of step S6606 is a process of setting a data area for voice control, which will be described later, of the effect control RAM 1903 so as to output a designated voice corresponding to a full tank error via the VOICE sound channel. . Here, only when the door open flag is not set, a specified voice corresponding to the full-tank error is output via the VOICE sound channel, so that the notification regarding the door-open error is prioritized over the notification regarding the full-tank error. You can get the effect of letting you do it.

Next, when it is determined that the full-tank timer is larger than 0 (step S6601; YES), 1 is subtracted from the value of the full-tank timer stored in the storage area for the full-tank timer of the effect control RAM 1903 (step S6607). , ends the full-tank error notification process.

Here, immediately after the full tank error flag is set, it is determined that the full tank timer is 0 or less (step S6601; NO), and it is determined that the full tank flag is not set (step S6601; NO). S6302; NO). Further, when it is determined that the full-tank timer is 0 or less (step S6601; NO) and the full-tank flag is set (step S6302; YES), 5 seconds set in step S6603 is reached. It includes the events of the time that has passed. Therefore, for five seconds immediately after the full-tank error flag is set, the specified voice corresponding to the above-described full-tank error is not output. Here, the reason why the configuration in which the specified voice corresponding to the above-mentioned full-tank error is not output for five seconds immediately after the full-tank error flag is set is that even a player with a low skill level can easily detect a full-tank error. Since it is relatively easy to recognize that it has occurred, it is performed when the full tank error flag is set while recognizing that the full tank error has occurred without being caused by the specified voice corresponding to the full tank error. This is so as not to disturb the concentration of the player who is concentrating on the game performance.

Next, when it is determined in step S6500 in FIG. 31 that the full tank error flag is not set (step S6500; NO), full tank error end processing (step S6700) is performed.

FIG. 35 is a flow chart showing an example of the full-tank error termination process performed in step S6700 of FIG. The full-tank error end process shown in FIG. 35 first determines whether or not the full-tank flag is set (step S6701). Here, if it is determined that the full tank flag is not set (step S6701; NO), the full tank error ending process is terminated.

If it is determined that the full-tank flag is set (step S6701; YES), the full-tank flag is reset (step S6702), and the full-tank error ending process is terminated.

After completing the error notification process (step S6000) by executing the full tank error notification process (step S6600) or the full tank error end process (step S6700) as described above, the effect control process process of FIG. 31 is executed. (step S7000).

Specifically, in the effect control process processing, the effect control CPU 1901 creates a effect control pattern described later based on the received command buffer at the time of starting winning shown in FIG. Perform processing to decide. Also, in the production control process processing, the production control CPU 1901 sets the data area for sound control and the data area for lamp control based on the process data described later that is defined by the determined production control pattern.

FIG. 36 is a flow chart showing an example of the effect control process executed in step S7000 of FIG. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 28, the effect control CPU 1901 first executes the effect process at the time of start winning (step S7100). This starting prize-winning effect processing consists of the first step of checking the memory contents of the start-winning received command buffer described with reference to FIG. a second step of determining whether or not the content exists; and when it is determined that the memory content exists in the second step, a performance control pattern corresponding to the memory content is determined and the performance control pattern is determined. It consists of a third step of performing the settings specified in

The effect based on this process data c changes before and after the push button 1941 is operated. In addition, while measuring the time specified by the process timer set value c, the effect control CPU 1901 determines whether or not the push button 1941 is operated based on the detection result of the push sensor 1940. It's becoming

Hereinafter, while the time specified by the process timer set value c is being measured, the effect based on the process data c before the push button 1941 is operated and the late effect setting processing when the door is opened will be specifically described. to explain.

First, based on the control data Rc of the process data c and the determination result that the push button 1941 has not been operated, the 16 consecutive emission mode B is set in the layer 3 of the lamp control data area of the lamp device BL31. It's like Here, NULL is set in the layer 5 of the data area for lamp control of the lamp device BL31 based on the setting process of the effect for the latter half of the time when the door is opened. Therefore, since the control data R is not set in Layer 5 and Layer 4 of the lamp control data area of the lamp device BL31, the effect control CPU 1901 causes the lamp device BL31 to display the 16 consecutive light emission mode B. It is designed to let

Further, based on the control data Rc of the process data c and the determination result that the push button 1941 has not been operated, the button light emission mode B is set in the layer 2 of the lamp control data area of the button lamp WL31. It has become. In addition, button light emission mode E is set in layer 5 of the data area for lamp control of button lamp WL31 based on the door opening second half effect setting process. Here, since the control data R is set in the layer 5 of the lamp control data area of the button lamp WL31, the effect control CPU 1901 causes the button lamp WL31 to appear in the button emission mode E. there is

Furthermore, based on the sound control data c of the process data c and the determination result that the push button 1941 is before being operated, "notice sound: before operation" is set in the sound control data area of the notice sound channel. It has become so. In addition, based on the setting processing for the late effect when the door is opened, the sound corresponding to "notice sound: before operation" is output from the notice sound channel at the volume corresponding to the state in which the mute function is not activated in the notice sound channel. A sound effect signal or the like is transmitted to the sound control board 1930 so as to make sound.

Furthermore, based on the audio control data c of the process data c and the determination result that the push button 1941 is before being operated, "BGM: special effect support" is set in the audio control data area of the BGM sound channel. It's like In addition, based on the effect setting process for the latter half of the time when the door is opened, a sound corresponding to "BGM: special effect" is emitted from the BGM sound channel at a volume corresponding to the state in which the mute function is activated in the BGM sound channel. A sound effect signal or the like is transmitted to the audio control board 1930 so as to cause the sound to be played. It should be noted that since "BGM: support special effect" is emitted in a mute state, it is difficult for the player to recognize "BGM: support special effect".

Here, in the determination result that the audio control data c of the process data c is before the push button 1941 is operated, no settings have been made in the audio control data area of the VOICE sound channel. The control CPU 1901 does not output any sound from the VOICE sound channel. It should be noted that the muting function is not activated in the VOICE sound channel based on the door open second half effect setting processing.

Next, the effect based on the process data c after the push button 1941 is operated while the time specified by the process timer set value c is being measured and the late effect setting processing when the door is opened will be described in detail. explained in detail.

Based on the control data Rc of the process data c and the judgment result that it is after the push button 1941 has been operated, the 16 consecutive emission mode C1 is set in the layer 3 of the lamp control data area of the lamp device BL31. It's becoming Here, NULL is set in the layer 5 of the lamp control data area of the lamp device BL31 based on the door open second half effect setting process. Therefore, since the control data R is not set in the layer 5 and layer 4 of the lamp control data area of the lamp device BL31, the effect control CPU 1901 determines that the lamp device BL31 is currently in the 16 consecutive light emission mode C1. An illumination signal is transmitted to the board lamp control board 1920 so as to emit the light.

Further, based on the control data Rc of the process data c and the judgment result that the push button 1941 has been operated, the button light emission mode C is set in the layer 3 of the lamp control data area of the button lamp WL31. It has become. In addition, button light emission mode E is set in layer 5 of the data area for lamp control of button lamp WL31 based on the effect setting process for the second half of the time when the door is opened. Here, since the control data R is set in the layer 5 of the lamp control data area of the lamp device BL31, the effect control CPU 1901 causes the lamp device BL31 to display the 16 consecutive light emission mode E. ing. That is, before and after the push button 1941 is operated, the lamp device BL31 emits the 16 consecutive light emission mode E both.

Further, based on the sound control data c of the process data c and the judgment result that it is after the push button 1941 has been operated, "notice sound: after operation" is set in the sound control data area of the notice sound channel. It has become so. In addition, based on the setting processing for the late effect when the door is opened, the sound corresponding to "notice sound: response after operation" is output from the notice sound channel at the volume corresponding to the state in which the mute function is not activated in the notice sound channel. A sound effect signal or the like is transmitted to the sound control board 1930 so as to make a sound.

Here, in the judgment result that it is after the operation of the push button 1941 and the audio control data c of the process data c, no settings are made in the audio control data areas of the VOICE sound channel and the BGM sound channel. Therefore, the effect control CPU 1901 does not output any sound from the VOICE sound channel and the BGM sound channel. It should be noted that although the muting function is not activated in the VOICE sound channel, the muting function is activated in the BGM sound channel based on the door open second half effect setting process.

Next, when the time specified by the process timer set value c has elapsed, the effect control CPU 1901 produces an effect based on the process data d and the late door opening effect setting process.

A specific description will be given below. Based on the control data Rd of the process data d, the 16 consecutive light emission mode D is set in the layer 4 of the lamp control data area of the lamp device BL31. Here, NULL is set in the layer 5 of the data area for lamp control of the lamp device BL31 based on the setting process of the effect for the latter half of the time when the door is opened. Therefore, since the control data R is not set in the layer 5 of the lamp control data area of the lamp device BL31, the effect control CPU 1901 causes the lamp device BL31 to display the 16 consecutive light emission mode D. , an electric signal is transmitted to the panel lamp control board 1920 .

Further, based on the control data Rd of the process data d, the button light emission mode D is set in the layer 4 of the lamp control data area of the button lamp WL31. In addition, button light emission mode E is set in layer 5 of the data area for lamp control of button lamp WL31 based on the effect setting process for the second half of the time when the door is opened. Here, since the control data R is set in the layer 5 of the lamp control data area of the button lamp WL31, the effect control CPU 1901 causes the button lamp WL31 to appear in the button emission mode E. there is

Further, "VOICE: C1" is set in the audio control data area of the VOICE sound channel based on the audio control data d of the process data d. In addition, based on the setting processing for the second half effect when the door is opened, the sound corresponding to "VOICE: C1" is emitted from the VOICE sound channel at a volume corresponding to the state in which the mute function is not activated in the VOICE sound channel. 1930 to transmit an effect sound signal and the like to the audio control board 1930 .

Furthermore, based on the audio control data d of the process data d, "BGM: Supports fixed notification" is set in the audio control data area of the BGM sound channel. In addition, based on the setting processing for the second half effect when the door is opened, the sound corresponding to "BGM: Confirmation notification support" is emitted from the BGM sound channel at a volume corresponding to the state in which the mute function is operating in the BGM sound channel. A sound effect signal or the like is transmitted to the audio control board 1930 so as to cause the sound to be played. It should be noted that since "BGM: Corresponding to confirmed notification" is emitted in a muted state, it is difficult for the player to recognize "BGM: Corresponding to confirmed notification".

Here, in the sound control data d of the process data d, since nothing is set in the sound control data area of the notice sound channel, the effect control CPU 1901 outputs no sound from the notice sound channel. It is designed not to let It should be noted that the muting function is not activated in the VOICE sound channel based on the door open second half effect setting processing.
