In S15, it is determined whether a jackpot flag or a medium hit flag is set. This jackpot flag is set at step 848, which will be described later, and the medium hit flag is set at step S50, which will be described later. If the jackpot flag or mid-win flag has already been set, the subroutine program ends, but if it has not been set yet, the process proceeds to step 516, where the 'I' check whether the starting memory counter is rOJ or not. '11 is disconnected, and if it is "0", the subroutine program ends as it is, but if it is not rOJ, the process advances to S17, and it is determined whether or not the off interval timer has ended. This error interval timer is a timer of about 1 second that is required to make the player recognize when the identification information between stops of the variable display device is incorrect.
This is for measuring the interval between 16 and 16, and is set in S51, which will be described later. If the off-interval timer has not yet ended, the subroutine program ends. Then, while this off interval timer has not ended, a NO judgment is made in step S17 every time this subroutine program is executed, but when the outgoing interval timer has ended, a YES judgment is made in S317.
The process proceeds to step 8, where a process is performed in which the stopped symbol data in area 1 of the stopped symbol data storage area is called up and stored in another area (see FIG. 9). For example, the stop symbol data stored in the stop symbol data storage area in the first starter prize box shown in FIG. The pattern data is recalled and stored in another LSR (joint display). Apart from this, what is stored in 1 rear is the scheduled stop symbol (D de evening) in the current display of [I-+1]. Next, the starting memory counter is decremented by 1 by 819, and S20
7. Stop 1. Shift by 1 in the direction from 8 to 1. For example, when the 1F symbol data is processed in S20, the stop symbol data of 1 piece 11 start input n and shi shown in FIG. 'iT
Recorded in the stop symbol data storage area at the time of small change table tE4. The data will be as follows. Next, the process proceeds to 521, where it is determined whether the data in another area is a jackpot or middle hit (71)lii'i or an. If it is a jackpot or a middle hit of 11, the hit 1]5 warning flag is set in S22. Sera), but for HQ that is not hit per person or per ψ, proceed to S2-3 1.71 A set is made. This basic timer is for counting the basic time = 1:4'' when the r1 operation is stopped, and for example, it measures the time +ij+ of about 4.9 seconds. Next, at step 544, the stepper motor's snoop number is shifted by a force T, and the blue routine program ends. [82] above constitutes a specific identification information determining means for determining that the value content determined by the value content pre-PIT determining means to be described later corresponds to specific identification information determined in the fiiN record. ing. This seven-taper control subroutine program is executed once every 2 m5ec, for example, and since the motor acceleration flag has already been set by 823 in the previous execution, YES is determined in S14 when the joint execution is performed. is completed and the process advances to S24. In S24, 't'11 indicates whether the Tanabata acceleration pattern data has been completed or not.
A decision is made. This motor acceleration pattern data is control data for smoothly controlling the stepping motor over a distance (-acceleration).No judgment is made in step S24 until the motor acceleration pattern data is completed, and no judgment is made in step S44. The step number is counted and the subroutine program ends.Then, the stepping motor is accelerated for 1 to 3 minutes.If it is determined that the C motor acceleration pattern data has been completed, the step is advanced to S25 and the motor acceleration is started. The motor constant speed flag is also set at εε when the flag is cleared.
Proceed to s44. When the subsequent motor control D-rule→)'' blue routine program is executed, since the motor constant speed flag has already been set in S25, S],
3, a YES determination is made and the process proceeds to S26, where it is determined whether the basic timer has expired or not. This basic timer is set in S23 above,
If the stop flag has not been set yet, the process proceeds to S27, where it is determined whether the stop flag has been set or not. If the stop flag has not been set, the process proceeds to S44. This stop flag is set in S72, which will be described later, based on the player's suppression operation of the stop operation button 8 (see FIG. 1). Then, when the C1 basic timer expires or before the end of the game, the C player presses the stop operation button 8 (see Figure 1), S28 occurs.
Then, the system is controlled to stop. 4', 328 determines whether the symbol is in the middle or a cup. This determination at step 328 is for waiting until the symbol comes to the center position if the symbol is not at the center position when the stop condition is met, and when the symbol comes to the center position, a No determination is made and step S29 is made. Proceed to. In S29, the processes of clearing the stop flag, clearing the motor constant speed flag, and setting the motor deceleration flag are finished. Then, proceed to "US 30" and select deceleration pattern data for each motor based on the current symbol and scheduled stop symbol.
Set C. The current symbol is the symbol located on the center display line of the iiJ change display device σ) at the stage when the process of S3○ is performed, and the scheduled stop LX symbol is the symbol located in the stop symbol data stored in a separate area by S18. This is the stop F symbol. When the deceleration pattern data for each stepping Tanabata is selected and set, each stepping motor is configured to simultaneously enter the same deceleration pattern. In addition, this deceleration pattern data corresponds to 16 motors.
Each street is prepared in advance. Further, no matter what combination of stops is used, the settings are such that the stepping motor A for the left drum, the stepping motor C for the right drum, and the stepping motor B for the center drum are always stopped in this order. Each of the motors A and C by the above S30. B) deceleration pattern data is selected and set.
Therefore, when the motor control subroutine program is executed next time, a YES determination will be made in S12. Then, the process proceeds to S31, where the motor A'l
A determination is made as to whether or not the a-speed pattern data has ended;
If the process has not ended, the process advances to S32, where it is determined whether or not to end this time, and if the process does not end this time, the process advances to S44. If the process is to end this time, the process proceeds to 833, where the stepping motor A is controlled to stop, and then the process proceeds to 344. When the motor control subroutine program is executed next time, in order to complete the deceleration pattern data for stepping motor A, a YES determination is made in S31 and the process proceeds to S34, where it is determined whether the deceleration pattern for motor C has been completed. If the process has not been completed yet, the process proceeds to S35, where it is determined whether or not to terminate this time.If the process is to be terminated this time, the process proceeds to S36, where the motor C is controlled to stop, and the process proceeds to S37. In S37, it is determined whether the left and right stopped symbols satisfy the jackpot conditions, and if they do not, the process proceeds to S44, but if they do, the process proceeds to S38, where a reach flag is set. After that, proceed to 344. YES due to this S37
As a specific example of a case where this judgment is made, for example, when the combination of jackpot symbols is r777J, both the stop special symbols of the left rotating drum and the right rotating drum are "7".
”. When executing the motor control subroutine program next time, a YES determination is made in S34 and S34 is executed.
The process proceeds to step 39, where it is determined whether or not the motor B speed pattern has ended. If it has not ended yet, the process advances to step S40, where it is determined whether or not to end this time. Proceeding to S41, it is determined whether the reach flag is set. If the reach flag has not been set, the process advances to S46 and the stepping motor B is stopped, but in step S46, the stepper motor B is stopped.
If the reach flag is set by
The process proceeds to step S44, where the 3-rotation tank data is set. By setting this three-rotation tank data, the central rotary drum rotates slowly for a longer time than usual before stopping, which can be expected to further enhance the player's sense of anticipation. Regarding the execution of the next motor control subroutine program, a YES determination is made in S39 and S39 is executed.
The process proceeds to step 43, where it is determined whether or not the three-rotation tank data has been completed. And if it is not finished yet, S43
A NO determination is made by 343, and a NO determination is continued by 343 every time the motor control subroutine program is executed until the 3-rotation tank data is completed. When the 3-rotation tank data is completed, a YES determination is made in step 343 and the process proceeds to S45, where the reach flag is cleared and the process proceeds to S46, where the stepping motor B is controlled to stop. Then, the process proceeds to S47, where it is determined whether or not the left 1 middle and right stop symbols satisfy the jackpot conditions. If they satisfy the jackpot conditions, the process proceeds to 848, where the hit notice flag is cleared and the jackpot flag is and set the jackpot interval timer. This jackpot interval timer is a waiting time until the opening/closing plate 22 of the variable winning ball device 20 (see FIG. 1) is opened. On the other hand, left. If the middle and right stopping symbols do not satisfy the jackpot condition, the process advances to S49, where it is determined whether the left, middle, and right stopping symbols satisfy the jackpot condition, and the jackpot condition is satisfied. If so, the process advances to S50, where the hit notice flag is cleared, a mid-hit flag is set, and a mid-hit interval timer is set. In addition, the per capita condition ε
If both of the middle hit conditions are not satisfied, 551
1: [The off interval timer is set. In addition, when the jackpot flag or medium hit flag is set, the opening/closing plate 22 (first
The solenoid 36 is controlled to perform opening control (see figure), but the program for controlling the solenoid is omitted. In this solenoid control processing program, if the jackpot control or medium hit control is in winter, it will be intoxicated.
The jackpot flag and small neck linorag set by 50 are cleared. Next, the process advances to 852, where the Tanabata deceleration flag is cleared and the subroutine program ends. Note that the respective rotating drums may be controlled to stop at the same time or substantially at the same time. FIG. 8D is a flow chart showing the start switch check subroutine program of the switch check process defined in S6. 553, the star L switch (starting winning ball detector 39a to 39b
) is ON or not. If the pachinko ball wins any of the starting prizes from 27a to 27e, a YES determination is made from 553 and the process proceeds to step S5.
Proceed to step 5, and you can decide whether the start switch check counter is at maximum or not. This start switch check counter is incremented by "]" at S56 every time this start switch check subroutine program is executed, and its maximum value is, for example, r255.
It is J. And if it is still not the maximum difference, S
The process proceeds to S56, where the check counter is incremented by one, and the process proceeds to S57, where it is determined whether or not the start switch check counter is "3". And still “
If the starting memory counter has not reached ``3'', the subroutine program ends as it is, but if it has reached ``3'', the process advances to S58, where it is determined whether the starting memory counter is ``4'' or an apricot. The upper limit value of the starting memory counter is "4", so if it has already reached the upper limit value of "4", the subroutine program will end, but if it has not yet reached "4", then Proceeds to S59,
“1” on the starting prize counter due to the occurrence of a starting prize.
” will be added P.S. Next, in 360, a process is performed in which the current count value of the stop symbol determination counter is stored as stop symbol data in the stop symbol data storage area corresponding to the value of the starting memory counter. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the starting memory counter is "1", stop symbol data "a" corresponding to the current count value is stored in area 5 of the stop symbol data storage area. In addition,
The stop symbol data storage area corresponding to the value of the starting memory counter is area 5 colors when the value of the starting memory counter is "1", area 6 when the starting memory counter is "2", When the starting memory counter is "3", the area becomes area 7, and when the starting memory counter is "4", the area becomes area 8. Next, the process proceeds to 561, where it is determined whether or not areas 1 to 4 of the stop symbol data storage area are free, and if they are not free, they are directly processed in step S6.
The process proceeds to step 3, but if it is in an empty state, the process proceeds to step S62. That is, when the starting memory counter is, for example, "1", the stop symbol data raJ is stored in area 5 corresponding to the count value, and if no data is stored in areas 1 to 4, S61 is executed. If a YES determination is made, the process proceeds to S62, where four stop symbol data are determined based on the current count value of the stop 11 symbol determination counter and are stored in areas 1 to 4. This S
62 is shown in the stop symbol data recording area at the time of the first starter prize in FIG. 9. Next, the process proceeds to 863, where it is determined whether the current count value of the stop symbol determination counter is a value of a jackpot or a medium hit. This "current count value" is the above-mentioned S60
This is the same value that was stored in . If it is determined that the value is not a jackpot or a width hit, the subroutine program is immediately terminated. On the other hand, if the value is a jackpot or medium hit, the process proceeds to S64, where it is determined whether the stopped symbol data stored in area 4 has a value of a jackpot or medium hit, If it is a hit, the subroutine program ends as it is, but if it is not a jackpot or medium hit value, it proceeds to 365, where the process of changing the stop symbol data of area 4 to the stop symbol data for displaying the reach number is performed, and the subroutine program ends. The program ends. The state in which the change processing in S65 has been performed is shown in area 4 in FIG. 9, for example, at the time of winning the fourth prize. The memory of area 4 at the time of winning the fourth starting prize is changed from f to △, and in this embodiment, it is △-rEB4J. Since the change processing in S65 is performed, a jackpot or a medium hit will occur in the variable display one to four times after the reach number is displayed on the variable display device. , S60 constitutes a value content predetermining means for predetermining the value content of the stoppage of the variable display device from the variable display stage several times before the variable display. In this embodiment, the value content is determined at the start-up 'R1 and '7; however, the present invention is not limited to this, and the value content may be determined at the start of the variable display or while the stop condition is satisfied. It may be something. Further, in this embodiment, the value content determined by the value content predetermining means is the display content itself displayed by the variable display device, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the display content is not determined. It may be possible to determine only the deviation. The above S63 constitutes a specific identification information discriminating means that discriminates that the value content determined by the value content predetermining means corresponds to the predetermined specific identification information. Also, the variable display device 14 that displays the reach position according to S65 above.
Accordingly, at least based on the discrimination output of the specific identification information discriminating means, it is determined that the specific identification information is displayed before the start of the variable display of the times in which the specific identification information is scheduled to be displayed. An omen notification means is configured to notify the player in advance. Note that in S65,
The system was configured to always change the stop symbol data in area 4 to the stop symbol data for displaying the reach number, but instead of this, the stop symbol data stored in area 4 was the value of a jackpot or medium hit. In this case, the stop symbol data stored in area 3 may be checked, and if the value is not a jackpot or medium hit, the area 3 may be changed to the stop symbol data of the reach number display section. As a result of the check, if the stopped symbol data stored in area 3 is a jackpot or mid-hit value, area 2 is checked, and if area 2 is a jackpot or mid-win value, further Control may be performed such that area 1 is checked, an area that is not a jackpot or a middle hit is found, and that area is changed to stop symbol data for displaying a reach number. FIG. 8E is a flowchart showing a stop switch check subroutine program among the switch check processes defined in S6. When the player depresses the stop operation button 8 (see Figure 1), the stop switch is turned on, a YES determination is made in step S66, and the process proceeds to S68, where it is determined whether the stop switch counter has reached the maximum value. A judgment is made. This stop switch counter is incremented by 1 in S69 every time this stop switch check subroutine program is executed, and its maximum value is, for example, r255J. And if the stop switch check counter has not reached the maximum value yet, S6
Go to step 9 and set the stop switch check counter to "1"
Increment and proceed to S70. In S70, it is determined whether the stop switch check counter is at "3" or not. If the stop switch check counter has not reached "3" yet, the subroutine program ends, but if it has reached "3", it is determined in S71. Then, it is determined whether the motor constant speed flag is set. This motor constant speed flag is set in S25 and cleared in S29. If the motor constant speed flag is not set, the subroutine program ends, but if the motor constant speed flag is set, the process advances to S72, the stop flag is set, and the subroutine program ends.'' do. The reason why the stop flag is not set when the Tanabata constant speed flag is not set to zero, that is, when the Tanabata constant speed flag is already in the deceleration stage, is because the stepping motor has already entered the deceleration stage.
This is because, even if the user operates the stop operation button 8 elastically before playing the game, it is too slow. Based on the stop plug set by this 872, the S 2 ”
7, after the determination of 1) YES is made, the process moves to the subsequent iiJ variable table hiding device stop h control. On the other hand, if the sub-switch is not ON, the process advances to S67, where the stop switch check counter is cleared and the subroutine program ends. The reason why the stop switch check counter reaches "3" in step S70 and the stop flags are set for the first time and after is set is because the stop switch is momentarily turned off due to the noise generated in the gaming hall.
In order to prevent the switch flag from being set based on a malfunction caused by such noise, the stop switch 1 subroutine program is executed 3tiu and all stop switches are turned OFF.
The control is such that the stop flag is set only when the flag is N. Said S66 to S72
In addition, through S26 and S27, the stop 1-condition determined for stopping the 11-change display on the variable display device is satisfied, and based on this, a stop command (!) is generated to generate a stop F command signal. 8F is a flowchart showing a subroutine program for the drum furrow position switch/removal check among the switch check processes defined in S6. First, step 87
3, it is determined whether the step counter is A-r96J or A-r96J. This "96" is the maximum value of the step counter (see FIG. 4). Also, step counter B
Also, a determination as to whether the step counter C is "96" or dirty is made in S76 and 379, respectively. And all step counters A, B, and C are "96"
If not, the subroutine program ends. On the other hand, if the step counter A is "96", the process proceeds to S74, where it is determined whether the drum position switch is ON or the drum position switch is ON. As shown in Fig. 3 and the 4th leg), if the step counter A is the maximum value "96", the drum position switch (drum position detector 53a) should be turned on. Yes, and if ε is not turned on, it is possible that the stepping motor has failed or the rotating drum has been forced to stop unexpectedly. In that case, proceed to S82 and set the alarm flag. The routine program ends. In accordance with the setting of this alarm flag, an alarm sound is emitted from the speaker 7 (see FIG. 1) and the like. Note that S7 is also applied to the drum position switch H and the drum position switch C.
7 and 580, it is determined whether or not it is turned on. If it is not turned on, the process advances to S82 and an alarm flag is set. Then, by S74, Y
If the judgment of ES has been completed, the process advances to S75 and the step counter A is cleared. Further, step counter B and step counter C are similarly cleared by 878 and 381, respectively. In other words, if the step counter is different from the maximum value "96", the synchronous drum will turn 1 synchronous rotation, so at that point, clear the step counter and count up the step counter from [ ] again. Let's start. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of the relationship between the start memory counter, the stop symbol data memory area, and the memory information in another area ε. First, when the power is turned on, since no starting winning has occurred, the starting memory counter is "0", and nothing is stored in the stop symbol data storage area and the separate area. At L7, with the first starting winning, the starting memory counter becomes "1", and based on this, the area 5 of the stopping symbol data storage area corresponds to the count value of the current stopping symbol determining counter. The stop symbol data raJ is stored (see S60). In this state, since areas 1 to 4 of the stop symbol data storage area are in the empty state color, the stop symbol data for four times is determined based on the current count value of the stop symbol determination counter according to S62. This state is shown in the row at the time of the first start winning.Next, at the time of the first variable start, the stop symbol data rbJ of area 1 is moved to another area according to 818. At the same time as being called, the stop symbol data storage area is set to 1 in S20.
shifted one by one. The state is shown in the row at the start of the first variable. Next, when the second starting prize is won, the value of the starting memory counter becomes "1" again, and the corresponding stopping symbol data rfJ is stored in area 5 of the stopping symbol data storage area according to the count value of the stopping symbol determining counter.
is memorized. Furthermore, in the third starter prize special, the value of the starting memory counter becomes "2", and the stop symbol data "g" is stored in area 6 of the stop symbol data storage area corresponding thereto. In this way, the starting memory counter is incremented by 1 as the starting winning occurs, and predetermined stopping symbol data is stored in the area of the stopping symbol data storage area corresponding to the count value of the starting memory counter, and the variable value of the variable display device is Every time the start is performed, the stored information in the stop symbol data storage area is shifted one by one to the left in the drawing. Next, at the time of the fourth starting winning, if the starting memory counter is "2" and the stop symbol data stored in the corresponding area 6 becomes jackpot stop symbol data 0, the above-mentioned S65 Accordingly, a process is performed to change the stop symbol data rfJ of area 4 to the stop symbol data Δ of the reach number. At the start of the sixth variable, the reach number is stored in a separate area, and the reach number is displayed on the variable display device. Next, when the 7th starting prize is won, if the value of the starting memory counter is "1" and the stop symbol data stored in the corresponding area 5 is a medium hit ■, then 4 In the same way as when winning the first prize, the stop symbol data "j" in area 4 is changed to the stop symbol data △ of the reach number. Then, at the start of the eighth variable, the stop notification 9 of the jackpot is stored in a separate area, and a winning notice is given by the winning notice display 55 (see Fig. 1) during the variable display of the variable display device. At the same time, when the variable display device stops for that round, a jackpot (for example, r777J) is displayed. Next, at the time of the 10th variable start, the stop symbol data of the reach number Δ is stored in a separate area, and the reach number is displayed by the variable display device. Then, at the start of the 11th variable, the win notice display 55 displays a win notice during the variable display, but when the variable display device stops, the middle win notice is displayed.
identification information is displayed. In addition, the stop symbol data "f" in area 4 at the time of the 4th start prize and the 7th time start prize, respectively. "j" is changed to the stop symbol data △ of the reach number, but if this "fJ, rjJ" is the value of jackpot or medium hit, the change of the reach number is not performed (S64 above)
reference). Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program for the start switch check process among the switch check processes defined by 86 in FIG. 8A. Since the processing from S53 to S59 in FIG. 10 is the same as the processing from 553 to S59 shown in FIG. 8D, a repeated explanation will be omitted. In S83, it is determined whether the current count value of the counter for stopping symbol determination is a value of a jackpot or a medium hit. If it is not a jackpot or a medium hit, the process proceeds to S87, and it is determined that the starting memory counter ≦ the storage area counter. will be carried out. this"
The storage area counter j is the number of areas in which stop symbol data is already stored among the stop symbol data storage areas shown in FIG. If the start memory counter is less than or equal to the memory area counter, the subroutine program ends. On the other hand, at the moment when the pachinko ball starts winning and the starting memory counter becomes "1", the starting winning counter is rlJ and the memory area counter is rOJ, so the determination of No is made in S87 and S88 Then, a process is performed in which the current count value of the stop symbol determination counter is stored as stop symbol data in the lowest vacant area of the stop symbol data storage area. The state after this process is, for example, 1 in Figure 11.
It is shown in the row when the individual starter award is given. Next, the process advances to 889, where the storage area counter is incremented by 1, and the subroutine program ends. On the other hand, if the current count value of the stop symbol determination counter is a jackpot or medium hit value, a YES judgment is made in 383 and the count is followed up with 384, and the 5 memory area counter ≥ "4". The score of 1 is 31. If the storage area counter is "4" or more, the process directly proceeds to step 388, and the current count value of the stop symbol determination counter is stored in the lowest empty area of the stop symbol data storage area, that is, the hit or middle hit. Processing is performed to store the value as stop symbol data color. According to 583 above,
Specific identification information determining means is configured to determine that the value content determined by the value content predetermining means described later corresponds to the predetermined specific identification information. On the other hand, if the storage area counter is less than "4", the process advances to S85, and a process is performed to store the four precursor pattern symbols f-even from the first place in the empty area of the stop symbol data storage area. Then, ζ586 performs the process of adding "4" to the memory error r kakunta, and the memory is added to Moeki S88.
Proceed to. The ``1'' portent pattern symbol data'' in S85 is data regarding the symbol of the variable display device for informing the player of the octopus ε with high possibility of occurrence of a jackpot, as shown in FIG. 11. There are four types: , rAM, A, and aJ. In addition, in this other embodiment, 1. In the motor control subroutine program (S19 in the program), set the starting memory counter to "
-1'' and the storage area counter is also incremented by 1. As explained above, in this other embodiment, when the starting memory counter is the S storage area counter and the count value of the stop symbol determining counter at the time of starting winning is an outlier value (see FIG. 11), d-g, i, k-
m), the outlying values are not used for variable display and are large
If the value is a hit or a middle hit and the storage area counter is "4" (c, h in Figure 11), it is stored in the empty area along with the precursor pattern symbol data (\, M, AM), When the storage area counter≧4 (j in FIG. 11), the precursor pattern symbol data is stored in the empty area without being created. The value 388 constitutes a value content vehicle pre-determination means for predetermining the value content when the variable display device is stopped from the stage of variable display several times before the variable display device. In addition, although this other embodiment has shown an example in which the value content is determined at the time of starting winning, the present invention is not limited to this, and the value content is determined at the time of variable start of the 5-change display device or when the stop condition is satisfied. (Also, although the value content is one that determines the specific display content of the variable display device, the present invention is not limited to this. Only hits and misses may be determined in advance.) FIG. 11 shows the starting memory counter 1 memory area counter,
It is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the data stored in the stop symbol determination counter 1 stop symbol data Ke storage area and separate areas. First, when the power is turned on, C has not yet won a starting prize, so the starting memory counter is "0", and there is nothing in the stopping symbol determination counter, stopping symbol data storage area, and other areas. The data is not yet stored. Since no information is stored in the stop symbol data storage area, the value of the storage area counter is "0". In this state, when 1 piece 11 starts winning,
In this case, the starting memory counter becomes "1" and at this stage it becomes 88.
No judgment is made in step 7, storage processing is performed in step 988, and the current value "a" of the counter for stopping symbol determination is stored in the lowest vacant area, ie, area 1, of the stopping symbol data storage area. Next, at the start of the first 2-hen table, the ra is set according to 318 shown in Figure 8C.
J is stored in a separate area, and the information in the stop symbol data storage area is moved to the left in the figure according to S20.]
It is shifted L. Next, as in the case of 311iiJ [] starting winning, if the counter for stopping symbol determination is 49 and the storage area counter is less than "4", the stopping symbol is determined according to S85. Four omen pattern symbol data "△, △, △, AΩ・" are stored from the bottom of the empty area of the data storage area.Then, according to S88, the stop symbol of the jackpot is placed in the lowest empty area, that is, area 6. The data count value 0 is stored.Next, at the time of the fourth start winning, even if the stop symbol determination counter is rdJ, this rd
Since J is an outlier value and starting memory counter≦storage area counter, the value rdJ of the stop symbol determining counter is not stored in the stop symbol data storage area at all. Next, at the start of the third variable, the portent pattern symbol data Δ is stored in a separate area, and the symbol of this portent pattern is displayed on the symbol when the variable display device is stopped. Also 4
At the start of the variable time, a precursor pattern diagram is displayed by the variable display device. On the other hand, at the time of the 8th start winning, the counter for stopping symbol determination is the value of the middle hit [Yes]
and the value of the storage area counter is "3".
Since this is less than "4", the precursor pattern symbol data is stored in the stop symbol data storage area according to S85. Next, at the time of the 10th Starter Award, the counter for stopping symbol determination is the medium hit value ■, but the memory area counter is ``6'', and since it is ``4'' or more, it is 984 A YES determination is made, and the storing process of the precursor pattern symbol data in S85 is not performed. In addition, 1
Even when the precursor pattern symbol ΔK is displayed by the variable display device as at the start of the first variable, the symbol at the time of the stop of the variable display device is displayed in the middle as shown at the start of the 12th variable of the next time. The winning symbol ■ may not necessarily occur, and a jackpot may not necessarily occur. Specific examples of the omen pattern include the following. For example, in Figure 11, the value of 0 is rABFJ (pattern 77
7 is aligned with the center line), then △-"EBF
” (Design 7 7 FEVER is aligned with the center line) △-r96EJ (Design 7 FEVER'H) <
2, -rB80J (Symbol 7 FEVER7 is aligned on the bottom line) △-rA7FJ (Symbol 7 FEVER7 is aligned on the center line) Also, the value of h shown in Figure 11 is r196J (Symbol
BARdBAR is aligned with the center line), then -r436J (pattern BARBAR5ANKYO
are aligned with the center line) △-rOE5J (Design BAR5ANKYOBAR
are aligned on the upper line) △-r207J (Design BAR5ANKYOBAR
are aligned with the bottom line) △-rlF6J (Design BAR5ANKYOBAR
are aligned with the center line) In the two embodiments described above, the precursor notification means performs display control so as to stop the variable display device at a predetermined stop symbol formed as a precursor pattern, but the present invention The present invention is not limited to this, and the sign may be visually displayed on a dedicated display, or alternatively or in addition to this, the sign may be notified by a unique sound. Further, a sign may be notified when the variable display device is not present. Further, a warning sign may be notified by causing the variable display device to perform variable display in a specific manner (for example, by changing brightness or speed). Furthermore, in the two embodiments,
When an omen is notified by the omen notification means or when an advance notification is made by the advance notification means, a jackpot does not necessarily occur, but a medium hit or a small hit and no jackpot occurs, or a variable display device. In the case where a predetermined stop symbol is used for advance notice, there are cases where a jackpot, medium hit, or even small hit does not occur at all, such as when the stop symbol happens to occur. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when a precursor is notified by the advance warning means or if the advance warning is notified by the advance warning means,
A jackpot may always occur. Also, Chuto? ) and small prizes, and there are only jackpots. [Effect of Light Cutting] The present invention is capable of increasing a player's sense of anticipation even before the ``11 change display'' of the game in which specific identification information is displayed in the 61 display display. .iiT Variant Table Hidden Display DeviceWe have now been able to provide a Yakyu gaming machine that can produce a brighter whiteness and further enhance the expectations of the players. Since the player is notified on the skewer 12iJ that the specific identification information will be displayed before the start of the variable display of the times in which the displayed Y is constant, the possibility that the specific identification information will be displayed is If this increases, the player will try to continue playing the game as much as possible until specific identification information is displayed, making it easier for the player to judge when it is time to stop playing.
