The value of the first pointer P1 is set to "1" in the game stop state in which the special figure 1 game, the special figure 2 game, and the big hit game are all stopped, and the main control circuit 51 controls the special figure 1 in S41. It is determined whether or not the special figure 1 game data is stored in the "special figure 1 reservation area 4" in the lottery process. If it is determined that the special figure 1 game data is not stored in the "special figure 1 reservation area 4" here, the special figure 1 lottery process is finished, and the special figure 1 game data is stored in the "special figure 1 reservation area 4". When it is determined that it is stored, it is determined whether or not the special figure 2 game data is stored in the "special figure 2 reservation area 4".

When the main control circuit 51 determines that the special figure 2 game data is stored in the "special figure 2 reservation area 4", the special figure 1 lottery process is completed, and the special figure 2 is stored in the "special figure 2 reservation area 4". If it is determined that the game data is not stored, in S41, based on the special figure 1 game data in the "special figure 1 reservation area 4", the determination of winning or not, the determination of reach existence, the determination of the variation pattern, and the variation display time Judgment is made, and if the result of the judgment of success or failure is a big hit, the kind of big hit is judged. This main control circuit 51 determines the presence or absence of falling based on the special figure 1 game data of the "special figure 1 reservation area 4" in the "high probability state" and "electric sapo state". Here, when it is determined that there is a fall, the "normal probability state" and the "100 times electric support state" are set, and the value of the counter is set to "100". This main control circuit 51 subtracts "1" from the counter value in the "normal probability state" and "electric sapo state", and if it judges that the subtraction result of the counter value is "0", "there is a fall". and set the "non-electric support state".

The main control circuit 51 sets the determination result of win/fail, the determination result of the variation pattern, the determination result of the jackpot type, and the determination result of the fall in the output buffer of the RAM in order to transmit it to the sub-control circuit 81 as special figure 1 game data. A start command 1 is set in the output buffer of the RAM so as to be transmitted to the sub-control circuit 81, and "2" is set to the value of the first pointer P1. That is, the special figure 1 lottery process is set later than the special figure lottery 2 process, and if the special figure 2 reservation number is not "0", the special figure 2 lottery process is the special figure 1 lottery It is performed preferentially to the process, and the special figure 1 lottery process is started when the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "0".

When the value of the first pointer P1 is set, the main control circuit 51 starts the special figure fluctuation display, and organizes the "special figure 1 reservation area 1" to "special figure 1 reservation area 4". This process is performed in the same procedure as the "special figure 2 reserved areas 1 to 4", and the main control circuit 51 arranges the "special figure 1 prefetch areas 1 to 4" in the same procedure. Set the value of P1 to "2".

Special Figure 1 Big Hit Game In-Process When the value of the first pointer P1 is set to "4", the main control circuit 51 shifts to the special figure 1 big hit game in-process of S44, and the result of setting the big hit game pattern. A jackpot game is advanced. The main control circuit 51 sets a round start command in the output buffer and transmits it to the sub-control circuit 81 every time a round is started in a jackpot game. The main control circuit 51 sets a round stop command in the output buffer and transmits it to the sub-control circuit 81 every time the round is stopped in the jackpot game. The main control circuit 51 sets a final round stop command in the output buffer and transmits it to the sub-control circuit 81 when the final 15th round is stopped in the jackpot game.

The main control circuit 51 moves the distribution member 26 to open and close the second opening/closing member 22 of the second big winning opening 21 in S44 when the big winning game is progressing in the "big winning game pattern 3" or "big winning game pattern 4". When the moving operation is performed in synchronism and the signal from the V sensor 28 is detected, the V flag is set to the ON state. When this main control circuit 51 advances the big win game to the end of the big win game pattern, it finishes the big win game, sets it in the output buffer to transmit the big win game end command to the sub control circuit 81, and sets the first pointer P1. Set the value to "5".

4-5-5. Special Figure 1 Big Hit Game Stop Processing The main control circuit 51 shifts to special figure 1 big hit game stop processing of S45 when the value of the first pointer P1 is set to "5". Here, when the determination result of the jackpot type is "jackpot pattern 1" or "jackpot pattern 2", the game state is set to "normal probability state" or "100 times electric support state", and the counter value is set to "100". Initialize. The main control circuit 51 sets the game state to the "electric support state" when the determination result of the big win type is "big win pattern 3" or "big win pattern 4". Then, when the V flag is set to ON state, the game state is set to "high probability state", and the value of the first pointer P1 is initially set to "1".

5. Game Flow When the power is turned on, the game state is set to "low base state 1". This "low base state 1" refers to a "normal probability state" and a "non-electric support state", and a big hit is achieved by making the ball enter the first start port 15 in response to hitting the game ball to the left. It is a game mode to acquire. This "low base state 1" corresponds to a predetermined game state and a third game state. state” is set. "Low base state 2" refers to "normal probability state" and "electric sapo state", and the second variable start port 16 is opened for a long time in a normal game in response to the game ball being hit to the right. is frequently performed. In this "low base state 2", the special figure 2 game is executed many times with a small number of game balls consumed, so that the player can obtain a big hit with a small number of game balls consumed compared to the "low base state 1". becomes possible. This "low base state 2" corresponds to the second game state.

The "high base state" refers to the "high probability state" and "electric sapo state", and the long opening of the second variable start port 16 in the normal game in response to the game ball being hit to the right. This is a state that occurs frequently. In this "high base state", the special figure 2 game is executed a large number of times with a small number of consumption balls, and the probability of judging a big hit is increased, so that the player has "low base state 1" and "low base state 2". , the state is advantageous to the player who can obtain a big win with a smaller number of consumed game balls. This "high base state" continues until it is determined that "there is a fall". In the ``high base state'' in which the game ball is hit to the right, the total selection probability of ``jackpot pattern 3'' and ``jackpot pattern 4'' is set to a high value ``70%''. ” continues without interruption with a high probability. Therefore, the player can win a large number of prize balls. This "high base state" corresponds to a game state advantageous to the player and the first game state. The "high base state", "low base state 2", and "low base state 1" correspond to game states. State 2" is the second highest and "Low Base State 1" is the lowest. The probability that this "high base state" is set is set higher in the special figure 2 lottery than in the special figure 1 lottery (see FIGS. 5 and 7).

If it is determined that the result of the determination is "miss", "1" is subtracted from the value of the counter N in S223, and the subtraction result of the counter N is compared with "0" in S224.

When the sub-control circuit 81 determines that "N=0" in S224, it turns off the result accumulating flag in S225, and turns off the accumulation end waiting flag in S226. Then, in S227, the cumulative result of the prize ball acquisition information M is transmitted to the image control circuit 91, in S228, the cumulative result of the big hit pattern information B1 to B4 is transmitted, in S229, the performance notification effect command is transmitted, and in S230, the prize ball is transmitted. The accumulation result of the acquired information M and the accumulation result of the big hit symbol information B1 to B4 are reset. When the image control circuit 91 receives the accumulation result of prize ball acquisition information M, the accumulation result of big hit pattern information B1 to B4, and the performance notification effect command, as shown in FIG. According to the result and the reception result of the big hit pattern information B1 to B4, the image of the result notification effect is displayed in the image of the first effect pattern game in the "low base state 1" immediately after the "low base state 2" ends. displayed on the device 32.

When the sub-control circuit 81 judges that the judgment result of success or failure is "jackpot" in S222 of FIG. Prize ball acquisition information M is accumulated based on the judgment result of the jackpot type. Then, at S232, the big hit pattern information B1 to B4 are accumulated based on the judgment result of the big hit type, and at S233, the detection result of the big hit type is compared with "big hit pattern 1" and "big hit pattern 2". Here, if it is determined that the detection result of the jackpot type is either "jackpot pattern 1" or "jackpot pattern 2", the value of the counter N is set to the initial value "100" in S234, and the detection result of the jackpot type is set. is either "big hit pattern 3" or "big hit pattern 4", the accumulation completion waiting flag is turned off in S235.

That is, when the "big hit pattern 1" or the "big hit pattern 2" is selected in response to the determination of the big win in the "high base state" directly shifted from the "low base state 1" and the "low base state". When it is determined that there is a fall in the "high base state" directly shifted from 1", the prize ball acquisition information M and the big hit pattern information B1 to B4 are accumulated, and the "low base state 2" is set. be. In this case, the result notification effect is performed in the performance symbol game in the "low base state 1" immediately after the "low base state 2" continues "100 times" determination of the deviation.

As shown in FIG. 21, the time required for this opening image is set to a certain time (8 seconds) shorter than the opening period (10 seconds) of each of the jackpot game patterns 1 to 4. It ends before the end of the period and the story image begins with the closing pattern of the opening and closing image A10 during the opening period. This story image is attached with a game mode image A9, and when the image control circuit 91 receives the "jackpot game effect start command 1" and the "jackpot game effect start command 2", the game of "chance zone!" A mode image A9 is attached, and when a "big win game effect start command 3" and a "big win game effect start command 4" are received, a game mode image A9 of "big win rush!" is attached.

7-3-6. Processing during jackpot game production FIG. 33(a) shows the processing during jackpot game production in S122, and the sub-control circuit 81 determines in S251 whether or not the ending start waiting flag is turned on. This ending start waiting flag is turned on during the period from the end of the final round to the start of the display of the ending image. It is determined whether or not the flag is off, and in S252 it is determined whether or not the open/close instruction flag is turned off. At the start of the first round, it is determined in S252 that the open/close instruction flag is turned off, the process proceeds to S253, a close/open instruction command is transmitted to the image control circuit 91, and the open/close instruction flag is turned on in S254. The image control circuit 91 switches the open/close image A10 of the closed pattern to the open pattern in response to receiving the open/close instruction command at the start of the first round. This opening/closing image A10 is displayed in the display state of the story image, and in the first round, it is synchronized with the switching of the second opening/closing member 22 of the second prize winning port 21 from the closed state to the open state in the display state of the story image. Then, the open/close image A10 is switched from the closed pattern to the open pattern.

After switching the open/close image A10 in the story image to the open pattern, the sub-control circuit 81 determines whether the open/close instruction flag is ON in S252 of FIG. to judge whether Here, each time a round start command is detected, the process proceeds to S256, a round number display command corresponding to the detection result of the round start command is transmitted to the image control circuit 91, and the final round stop command from the main control circuit 51 is received in S257. determine whether or not there is Each time the image control circuit 91 receives a round number display command from the sub-control circuit 81, it displays an announcement image A7 corresponding to the round number display command on the effect pattern display 32, and the round currently being executed is substantially displayed. It informs what round it is.

At the start of the final 15th round, the sub-control circuit 81 determines in S257 that there is a final round stop command from the main control circuit 51, and in S258 sets the timer value to the initial value "2 seconds". This initial value is set shorter than the ending period of the jackpot game "10 seconds", and when the sub-control circuit 81 initializes the value of the timer in S258, it turns on the ending wait flag in S259. , and in S260, an opening/closing instruction command is transmitted to the image control circuit 91. FIG. The image control circuit 91 switches the open/close image A10 from the open pattern to the closed pattern when receiving the open/close instruction command. That is, at the end of the final 15 rounds, the opening/closing image A10 is switched from the open pattern to the closed pattern in synchronism with the switching from the open state to the closed state of the second opening/closing member 22 of the second big prize winning port 21, and the story begins. The closing of the second big winning port 21 is notified to the player in the display state of the image.

After completing the final 15 rounds, the sub-control circuit 81 determines in S251 that the ending wait flag is turned on, subtracts the timer value in S261, and compares the result of subtraction of the timer value with "0" in S262. Here, when it is determined that the value of the timer has been subtracted to "0", the ending start waiting flag is turned off at S263, the jackpot game effecting flag is turned off at S264, and the open/close instruction flag is turned off at S265. Then, an ending start command is transmitted to the image control circuit 91 in S266, and winning ball acquisition information is transmitted to the image control circuit 91 in S267. This prize ball acquisition information notifies the predicted number of prize balls to be acquired in the current jackpot game. When the ball acquisition information 1 is transmitted and the current big win game is executed in the ``big win game pattern 2'', the prize ball acquisition information 2 is transmitted and the big win game this time is executed in the ``big win game pattern 4''. In this case, prize ball acquisition information 4 is transmitted.

When the image control circuit 91 receives an ending start command from the sub-control circuit 91, the image control circuit 91 stops displaying the story image, starts displaying the ending image instead of the story image, and replaces the image of the prize winning information M1 with the ending image. Overlap display. The image of the prize ball acquisition information M1 is displayed according to the reception result of the prize ball acquisition information. M1 is displayed, and when prize ball acquisition information 2 is received, prize ball acquisition information M1 of "Score 1400" is displayed, and when prize ball acquisition information 4 is received, prize ball acquisition information M1 of "Score 840" is displayed. indicate.

Jackpot game effect stop processing The sub-control circuit 81 transmits a jackpot game effect stop command to the image control circuit 91 in the jackpot game effect stop process of S124 in Fig. 23, and turns off the jackpot game effect stop processing flag. The image control circuit 91 stops displaying the image of the big-hit game effect in response to receiving the big-hit game stop command from the sub-control circuit 81 .

According to the first embodiment, the following effects are obtained.
At the time of transition from "high base state" to "low base state 2", the result notification effect is not executed, and when it is determined "100 times" that it is out of the time of transition to "low base state 2", the result notification effect is performed. executed. Therefore, when the game performance in the "high base state" is not good, the notification of the game performance is delayed, so that the player can be kept in the game for a long time despite the poor game performance. becomes.
When the result notification effect is not executed at the end of the "high base state" most advantageous to the player, and the second most advantageous "low base state 2" is shifted to the third most advantageous "low base state 1". Executed the achievement notification production. Therefore, when the game performance is not good in the "high base state", the notification of the game performance is delayed by the duration of the "low base state 2". Regardless, it is possible to stop the game for a long time. Moreover, it is possible to make the delay period based on the end of the "high base state" of the result notification effect variable.

When returning to the "high base state" from the "high base state" via the "low base state 2", the game results in the "low base state 2" are accumulated. Therefore, since the player is notified of the game performance in both the "high base state" and the "low base state 2", the player feels disappointed when the game performance in the "high base state" is not good. can be mitigated.
Since the image of the result notification performance is displayed during the performance symbol game, the player can surely recognize the result notification performance, unlike the case where the performance notification performance is performed by sound.

When it is judged as a big hit, the image of the number of rounds suggesting effect is displayed to suggest the judgment result of the big win type to the player as prize ball acquisition information M, so that the judgment result of the big win type is notified by the kind of the production pattern. Compared to the conventional art, it is possible to suggest to the player with an image of interesting performance contents.
When it is judged as a big win, the number of rounds suggesting images corresponding to the judgment result of the big win type is generated in a round number suggesting performance, and the actual number of rounds in the big win game is displayed to the player. Since it is suggested by both the number of times and the prize ball acquisition information M, it is possible to suggest to the player the substantial number of rounds in the jackpot game with an image of interesting presentation contents.

Since the larger the substantial number of rounds in the jackpot game, the larger the number of round number suggesting images are displayed, the larger the number of occurrences of the round number suggesting images from the player's eyes, the more substantial rounds are played. become. Moreover, since the next round number suggesting image displays the prize ball acquisition information M larger than the current round number suggesting image, the prize ball acquiring information M is displayed every time the display of the round number suggesting image is repeated from the player's point of view. increase in the number of Therefore, it is possible to suggest to the player the substantial number of rounds in the jackpot game in an easy-to-understand manner by means of an image of interesting performance contents.
The button effect image was displayed before the display of the next round number suggestion image. Therefore, since the player's expectation for a larger number of rounds is heightened each time the button performance image is displayed, the substantial number of rounds in the jackpot game is suggested to the player by the image with more interesting performance contents. becomes possible.

Since the display of the story image is started before the start of the first round in the jackpot game, and the display of the story image is continued until after the start of the first round, the player can confirm the start of the first round with the story image. can be recognized in advance from the display of In addition, the opening/closing image A10 suggested to the player the open state of the big prize winning opening in the first round. For this reason, the player can recognize the start of the first round at different timings from different images. It is possible to restart the stroke with a mental margin without rushing to restart the stroke.
The opening/closing image A10 displayed in the closed pattern in the story image before the start of the first round is changed to the open pattern to suggest the start of the first round to the player. Therefore, it becomes easier for the player to visualize the opening of the second big winning hole 21 from the change in the mode of the opening/closing image A10, so that the start of the first round is less likely to be overlooked.

An opening/closing image A10 is displayed in the vicinity of the second prize winning opening 21. - 特許庁Therefore, it becomes easier for the player to visualize the opening of the second big winning opening 21 from the display position of the suggestive image, so that the start of the first round is less likely to be overlooked.
When the first round started, the open/closed image A10 started to be displayed in the open pattern. Therefore, the player can easily visualize the opening of the second big winning hole 21 from the start timing of the display of the open/closed image A10 in the opening pattern, so that the start of the first round is hardly overlooked.
