Figure 15 shows the main program, which includes "input processing (phase O)" for each switch, "initialization processing (phase 1)", "fraud monitoring processing (phase 2)", "game operation processing (phase 3)" for power-on, etc. ”, “Output editing (Phase 4)”, and “Output processing, sound editing/output, and random number generation (Phase 5)”.

Figure 16 shows the flow of phase O, in which the start address of the stack pointer is set (0.OO), the status of each switch is read, and after chatter is removed (0.0
2 to 0.04), current status of each switch, active status!
Detect and store @(rising edge) (0.05~
0.11). Eliminating chattering prevents false detection and allows use in other phases.

Figure 17 shows the flow of phase 1. When the power is turned on and when the RAM inspection area is abnormal, the RAM area is cleared while adding uncertain data in the RAM area, and the added value is set to a predetermined value. Random number area (SUBGEN, RAN
DOM) (1.01 to 1.05). Next, normal operation is set in the digital 52, test data is set in the RAM test area, and the initialization process is completed (1.06 to 1
．． 08). Figures 18 (A) and (B) and Figures 19 (A) and (B) show the flow of Phase 2, which consists of two-system award ball processing, fraud detection processing, and fraud removal monitoring processing. In the two-system prize ball processing shown in FIGS. 18(A) and (B), the number of prize balls discharged from the prize ball ejecting device is determined by
For the winning of 6c, there will be 7 special winning openings 6a, 6b,
For prizes other than 6c, the prize will be 13M. The prize ball ejecting device is equipped with a solenoid 119 that can switch the number of prize balls via a ball sheath hook that regulates the ejection of balls to a ball sheath connected to the ball sheath rail 117 (13th
(see figure), when winning other than the specified winning holes 6a, 6b, 6C, keep the renoid 119 on and release 13 prize balls to the winning switch 22 (see figure) of the specified winning holes 6a, 6b, 6c (
When the specific winning ball detection switch 22a, 22C) is turned on, the number of winning balls is memorized and the solenoid 119 is turned off according to the memory to play seven winning balls (2.01
~2.07, 2.08, 2.10, 2.11, 2.20
, 2.21, 2.25>. In order to avoid switching the solenoid 119 while the ball sheath is being driven, the switching is performed using a switch (M) that detects the position of the ball sheath drive motor 118.
(2.09,
2.15, 2.24).

In the fraud detection process and fraud removal monitoring process in FIGS. 19(A> and (B)), when the count switch 23 is continuously on for approximately 2896 seconds or more, or when the count switch 23 is in a jackpot operation in a special game, the valid period of the count switch 23 is (For example, 29+1.
9 seconds), or if the count switch 23 is not turned on within approximately 2.896 seconds when the cycle switch 24 is turned on during the jackpot operation, the corresponding fraud will occur. A flag is set and it is determined that there is fraud (2.33 to 2.43).

If there is fraud, a flashing request for the lamps 30a and 30b is set, and the attacker (movable member) of the variable winning device 5
Set a request to close 112a and 112b, a request to turn off the digital 52 and other lamps, etc., and set an unauthorized sound (after 20 seconds during jackpot operation) (2.52 to 2.64
). Note that the passing time monitoring request and the no-count monitoring request are set in phase 3.

Figures 20 (A) to (C), Figures 21 (A) to 21 (
N) shows the flow of phase 3, which includes storage processing of the winning switch 22, input monitoring of the stop switch 131,
It consists of input monitoring of the count switch 23 and cycle switch 24, monitoring and updating of a game sequence timer, and step processing that changes as the game progresses.

First, when there is a winning ball hit on the winning switch 22 as shown in FIG. Extract the value of random number RNDGEN (described later),
Store (3.01 to 3.06), then monitor the input of the stop switch 131, and check whether the stop switch 131 is turned on or off during the effective period of the stop switch 131, that is, within the natural stop time of the rotation of the digital 52. If detected, the Siegen timer is cleared (the rotation time of the digital 52 is shortened), and the value of the random number R N D G E N stored at the time of winning the winning switch 22 is changed. In addition, if you keep pressing the stop switch 131 for more than 2 seconds,
Disable the on of the push switch 131 (3.07~3
．． 16>.

Next, if there is no jackpot operation in Figure 20 (B),
Proceed to 3.36 and later (3.17). If the jackpot operation is in progress, a request to output the winning sound and a request to display the number of winnings are set every time the count switch 23 is turned on, and the number of winnings is 10.
Initializes the Siegen timer (3.18~
3.26).

If the cycle switch 24 is turned on during the jackpot operation, a transit time monitoring request for illegal processing in phase 2 is set, and if the cycle continues less than 10 times, the step number to be described later is switched and the continuous expression is displayed in the digital 52. , set a continuous sound output request, proceed to 3.36 and later, and then send the attacker 112a. Correct the wait time (interval time) of 112b (3.27 to 3
．． 35). In FIG. 20(C), after 3.36, when the Siegen timer is O, game processing corresponding to the execution step number is entered (3.36 to 3.53).

In STEPO (storage monitoring), the storage information of the winning switch 22 is determined, and if there is storage, the storage information is updated (-
1)! ,,Update the storage area of the random number RNDGEN, and set the blinking information of the symbol variation display lamp 47, the output of the rotation sound of the digital 52, and the decorative expression of the digital 52 (3, 0
01-3.006).

In STEPI (decoration display operation), set the upward movement of the pot member 41 (turn on the solenoid 44), and set the digital 52
At the same time, set a random time (described later) that is the rotation time of the digital 52, and start the rotation operation of the digital 52.
Set the natural stop time of 2 (3.101 to 3.10
4).

In STEP 2 (digital rotation), the rotation stop data of the left digital A, middle digital B, and right digital C of the digital 52 is adjusted. Here, the display pattern (display symbol) of each digital and the random number that determines the rotation stop data are set. and random time. As shown in Figure 26 (A), there are 13 types of Sasuke Land and Moon display patterns on the left digital A, middle digital B, and 12 types on the right digital C, and the fluctuation order (rotation order) is the same for each digital A, B, and C. The diagram is from top to bottom. In addition, the displayed symbols are each digital A. B. C
Multiple consecutive upper and lower rows (two when rotation is stopped)
The symbol will be displayed. The numbers inside the brackets in the figure are the numbers handled by the program.

Also, the combination of displayed symbols is 13X13X12=20
There are 28 combinations, and the winning combination is Digital A. B. Depending on the combination of the upper row or the lower row of C, there are eight ways as shown in FIG. 26(B).

& The random numbers include the main random number RNDGEN, the random number RANDOM for display excluding jackpots, and the random number H ITG for jackpot symbol selection.
EN and a sub-random number SUBGEN are used.

The main random number RNDGEN is a random number that generates the jackpot probability, and is composed of a pinary counter from 0 to 252. It is updated by adding ゜7 to the original value every time a reset interrupt occurs, and the main random number RNDGEN is a random number that generates the jackpot probability. If so, subtract 253 to generate a value between 0 and 252. This RNDGE
The value of N is extracted at the time of winning the winning prize 22, and when the stop switch 131 is pressed, the value at the time of recognition of the stop switch 131 is added and corrected to the extracted value at the time of winning.

(3.06, 3.14 in Figure 20(A)). This RND
When the value of GEN is ``On'', it is considered a jackpot, and otherwise it is a loss depending on the value of RANDOM.

Therefore, the probability of jackpot occurrence - 1/total number of combinations of RNDGEN = 1/2 5 3.

The display random number RANDOM generates 2020 combinations of display symbols other than jackpots. It is composed of a 2-byte pinary counter, and uses the remainder of the CPU processing time to return to the original value until the next reset interrupt. Update by repeatedly adding “2 7 3”,
If it is 2020 or more, subtract 2020 to generate a value between O and 2019.

The random number HITGEN for jackpot symbol selection is used to select the display symbol in the event of a jackpot, and is calculated by a 1-byte pinary counter by adding ``1'' to the original value at each reset interrupt. After updating, if the value is 8 or more, subtract 8 to generate a value between O and 7.

The sub-random number SUBGEN is used to set the random time until the display pattern is determined, etc. It is composed of a byte pinary counter, and is repeatedly executed using the remainder of the CPU processing time until the next reset interrupt. Perform updates. The update is performed by putting the exclusive OR of bit 6 and bit O into bit 0, and sequentially shifting the original bits 0 to 6 to generate 127 bit patterns.

Note that each random number RNDGEN. RANDOM. HITGE
N. SUBGEN is updated and generated in Phase 5, FIG. 24(D).

-t>fL Yutaka1 The random time consists of α time, β time, γ time, δ time, and ε time calculated from the sub-random number SUBGEN.

α time is used to set the extraction timing of random numbers RANDOM and HITGEN, and when the symbol starts rotating, SUB
Extract the last 6 digits of GEN and calculate based on the extracted value (
3.103 in Figure 21(B)).

β, γ, δ time is left, middle, right digital A. This is used to set the switching timing between B and C symbols, and is selected as appropriate.

The ε time sets the scrolling time of the right digital C that stops last, and is selected according to the comparison between the stopped symbols of the left digital A and the stopped symbols of the middle digital B.

When entering STEP 2, when the α time has elapsed, the value of the display random number RANDOM is extracted, the extracted value is corrected to a value other than the jackpot, and the stored main random number RNDG is
Determine whether the value of EN is O, and if RNDGEN=O, it is considered a jackpot and the random number for jackpot symbol selection H ITG
Select the value that becomes the jackpot symbol corresponding to the extracted value of EN, and if RNDG E N≠0, the RAND after the above correction
Select the value of OM (3.201 to 3.208). Then, this selected value is sent to subroutine CHGBCD (25th
Convert it to a 3-digit numerical value in Figure (A)), and convert the hundreds value into the stop data of the left digital A (lower row), the tens value into the stop data of the middle digital B (lower row), and the place value. Set to the stop data of right digital C (lower row), set the scroll sound output, scroll operation of each digital A, B, and C, and set the reach eye judgment time (1.6 seconds) to be described later in the sequence timer.
Set (3.209 to 3.217). In STEP 3 (scroll/reach eye check), after the left digital A and middle digital B stop, it is determined whether these stopped symbols are the same jackpot symbol, and if YES, the jackpot reach eye sound is output and the reach eye is output. Set the flashing information of the hour lamp and the ON request of the solenoid 44 of the pot member 41 (3.301 to 3.308). Determine whether it is a jackpot or a miss from the lower row of symbols, and if it is a miss, set the miss operation information (1.0 seconds) on the sequence timer (3.
401-3.407).

In the case of a jackpot, a jackpot fanfare display request is set for the digital 52, a jackpot operation request is set for the solenoid 44 of the pot member 41, the input counters of the count switch 23 and cycle switch 24 are initialized, and the fanfare sound is output. and set the fanfare operation time (6 seconds) to the sequence timer (3.
409-3.414). If it is a loss, proceed to STEP 5, and if it is a jackpot, proceed to STEP 6.

In STEP 5 (disconnection operation), due to dislocation, a sound stop request is set, a discontinuation expression is set in the digital 52, a dislocation operation time (1.12 seconds) is set, and the transition to normal operation in STRPC is made (3 .502~3.504>.Also,
If there is a prize in the prize winning switch 22, the same process as in STEPO 1 is performed, and the process moves to digital rotation processing from STEP 2 (3501, 3.506 to 3.512).

STBP6 (Fanfare operation) sets the output of the 1st to 9th jackpot operation sound if the jackpot cycle continues less than 10 times, and sets the output of the 10th jackpot operation sound if it is the 10th jackpot cycle, and also sets the output of the 10th jackpot operation sound when the jackpot cycle continues less than 10 times.
, 112b oven request and open time 2
Set 9 seconds (3.601 to 3.607).

In STEP'7 (operation before jackpot continuation), set a no-count monitoring request for fraudulent processing in subroutine NCCHK (Figure 25 (B)), set output stop of jackpot operation sound, and set count switch 23 and cycle switch. Set the valid time of 24 to 1.9 seconds (3.701~
3.703). In this case, if there is an input to the cycle switch 24, 3.27) STEPA 3 in Figure 20 (B)
．． Proceed to AO4, and if there is no input, proceed to STEP8.

STEP 8 (Jackpot 1st to 9th end operation) sets the close request of the attackers 112a and 112b,
Set the end expression for the first to ninth times in the digital 52, and set the end operation time of 5.376 seconds in the Siegen timer (3.801, 3.802).

Step 3 of STEPA (action after continuous jackpot/10th action). After AO4, the number of continuations is updated, the input counter of the count switch 23 is cleared, the output of the wait time sound is set, the wait time expression is set in the digital 52, and the process moves to STEP 6 (3.AO4 to 3.
AO7). Also, if the cycle continues for the 10th time, set the jackpot end operation sound and set the end expression for the 10th time in the digital 52 (3.AO2, 3.AO9,
3. A10). In addition, in STEPB, set the sequence timer to 8.788 seconds for the 10th end operation (3.
BOI).

In STEPC, set the normal operation to digital 52,
Clear the sequence timer (3.Co2, 3.CO

Next, a game played on the pachinko machine configured as described above will be explained.

First, when a game is not being played or when a ball fired into the gaming section 3 by the ball firing device does not enter the special winning slots 6a to 6c even when a game is being played, the digital 52 displays the normal operation. will be held.

On the display display of normal movements, characters such as ``The sliding door opens and a doll appears'', ``The doll crosses its arms'', and ``
The characters ``Calamari'', the characters ``The dice are rolling'', the characters ``R333 555 777 Arash is a jackpot'', and the characters ``Chidori pattern'' are repeatedly displayed in this order (see Figure 28). Therefore, when choosing a pachinko machine, it is possible to sufficiently attract players, and the enjoyment of the game is increased.

Then, when the batted ball fired into the gaming section 3 successfully enters the specific winning slots 6a to 6c, the pot member 41 on the top of the digital is raised and lowered, and after the character "pot and dice" is displayed on the digital 52 (29th Refer to the figure>, the pattern of the digital 52 begins to rotate from above to below as shown in Fig. 30.

Next, when the natural stop time of the digital 52 has elapsed or when the stop switch 131 is pressed, the random number SUBG
Random number RNDGEN. after α time by EN. RANDOM
, HITGEN are extracted, and whether or not there is a jackpot and the symbols that stop at left, middle, and right digital A, B, and C are determined by each random number.

When the predetermined rotation time of the left digital A has elapsed, the left digital A is switched to a symbol several times before the stopped symbol as shown in FIG. 31, and stops at the local position value while scrolling at a gentle speed. After this stop, when the predetermined rotation time of the middle digital B has elapsed, the middle digital B is similarly switched to a symbol several times before the stopped symbol, and stops at the localization value while scrolling at a gentle speed. And after these stops,
When the predetermined rotation time of the right digital C has elapsed, the right digital C is similarly switched to a symbol several times before the stopped symbol, and in this case, the stopped symbols of the left digital A and the middle digital B are the reach number (same jackpot symbol). If so, the urn member 41 is raised and lowered, and the right digital C moves at a slower speed than the left digital A and the middle digital B for a random time (
ε time) and stop at the localization value. Furthermore, if the stop symbols of the left digital A and middle digital B are not reachable, the right digital C scrolls and stops in the same way as the left and middle digitals A and B. When the rotation of digital A, B, and C is stopped, the symbols are scrolled at a gentle speed, that is, the symbols are displayed and updated in a flowing manner, making it very easy to see the symbols and the switching between them. Digital A,
B. There is a high sense of anticipation as to whether or not the C will stop at the target (jackpot) symbol. Also, if the stopping symbols on the left and middle digitals A and B are the same, the expectation of a jackpot increases, but in this case, the right digital C, which stops last, scrolls slowly for a random time and does not stop unambiguously. , because it is full of surprises and the pot member 41 operates,
It also increases the enjoyment and therefore gives a great sense of anticipation as to whether or not a jackpot will occur.

And digital A, B. If all C stops and the stopped symbols do not hit the jackpot, the digital A, B, and C will return to normal display, but if it hits the jackpot, the following special game will be performed. A jackpot occurs with a probability of 1/253 using the random number RNDGEN, and the combination of digital A=B, C stopping symbols (winning symbols) at this time is selected from FIG. 26(B).

In addition, after the ball hits the special winning holes 6a to 6c, and until the jackpot or miss is determined, the special winning hole 6a
When a ball hit in ~6c wins a prize, the number of memorized pieces displaying LEDs 32a to 32d lights up with the number of winnings as the unprocessed stored number.
After determining whether it is a jackpot or a loss (or after the end of the special game), the above control is repeated again. In addition, when a hit ball wins, the ball sheath of the prize ball ejecting device is driven and a predetermined prize ball is played, but for winnings in the specific winning holes 6a to 6c, the ejected ball is ejected by the ball sheath hook driven by the solenoid 119. It is regulated to 7 pieces.

If you hit the jackpot, during the predetermined wait time (fanfare operation time), the jackpot symbol will appear on the digital 52 (see Figure 32), then the "fireworks display" character, and "Yotsu! Japan's No. 1". is displayed, and when the wait time has elapsed, the attacker (movable members 112a, 112b) of the variable prize winning device 5 is opened. The display of the jackpot increases the fun and joy of winning a jackpot, and provides a great sense of satisfaction. and,
When the attackers 112a and 112b are opened, a large number of batted balls flowing down from above the gaming section 3 hit the attackers 112a and 112b.
Attacker 112a, 1 directly from the opening side of 12b or
12b and flows into the variable prize winning device 5, the batted ball that flows in enters the central continuous operation port 25 or from the downstream shelves 110 on the right and left below the continuous operation port 25 to the general winning hole 113.

When the batted ball that enters the general winning hole 113 or the central continuous operation hole 25 passes through the merging outlet flow path, the ball enters the count switch 23.
The number of winning balls is counted and displayed on the left half of the digital 52. In this case, when the number of winning balls reaches 10 or a predetermined time (29 seconds) has elapsed, the attackers 112a and 112b close and one cycle ends. becomes.

Further, the number of successive rounds is displayed on the right half of the digital 52, and in this case, if the continuous operation port 25 receives a winning ball, the cycle switch 24 instructs to continue the next cycle. In addition, when a prize is won in the continuous operation port 25, the display of the number of winning balls on the right half of the digital 52 changes from flashing to lit at the time of winning, and therefore, during the cycle, the player can check the change in the display of the digital 52 to determine whether the number of winning balls will be played in the next cycle. You can confirm that the game can be continued, and you can continue playing the game with peace of mind. If there is a prize in the continuous operation port 25, a new cycle starts when a predetermined interval time has elapsed after the completion of one cycle, and the attackers 112a and 112b are opened again. During this interval, the characters ``second game!''...``tenth game 1'' are displayed on the digital 52 according to the number of times the game continues.

When a new cycle begins and the attackers 112a and 112b are opened, the number of batted balls is increased to the general prize opening 113 of the multiple variation device 5.
When the number of winning balls reaches 10, or when a predetermined period of time (29 seconds) has elapsed, the attacker 1
12a and 112b close and the cycle ends. Further, in this case, if the continuous operation port 25 receives a hit ball, the next cycle can be continued. These cycles are repeated up to 10 times, and when the number of winning balls in the variable winning device 5 reaches 10 during the 10th cycle, or when a predetermined time (29 seconds) has elapsed, the attackers 112a and 112b close and a jackpot is achieved. It ends,
At this time, the words "Appare Great Victory" were written on the digital 52, "
The character "Banzai Doll" will be displayed. Also,
