Here, the input process is a process in which the state of each SW is decomposed, chattering is removed, and a format that can be used in each process is prepared. The SW information necessary for each process is SW ON (rising edge) and SW current state (ON or OFF SW).
Level status). In this input processing, first, in step S100, a stack pointer that indicates from where in the stack memory the data is to be extracted is designated,
Proceeding to step S101, a process of reading the physical state of the SW whether or not the switch is turned on is performed, and step S1
In step S102 to S106, the active logic is converted from a negative logic input to a positive logic input, chattering is removed, the current logic state is calculated, the current state is stored in RAM, and the SW The rising edge is detected and the active state is stored in the RAM, the subroutine program is terminated, and the process returns to the main process. It should be noted that this phase is executed every reset interrupt of 2 ms.

FIG. 12 shows the control procedure of the subroutine of the processing in steps S2 to S4 of phase 1 and step S5. When this process is started, it is first determined in step S200 whether or not the power has just been turned on, or whether or not the RAM inspection data is abnormal. If it is determined that there is, the process proceeds to step S201 to clear the RAM region, the process proceeds to step S202, the initial data of each control region is written and stored, and the process proceeds to the setting value reading process of step S4 of phase 1. On the other hand, the step S2
If it is determined at 00 that it is not immediately after the power is turned on, that is, if it is operating at a game shop or if it is determined that there is no abnormality in the RAM inspection data, the processes of steps S201 and S202 are not performed. In step S203, it is determined whether or not the check of the RAM inspection data is completed. If not completed, a loop is formed to return to step S200, and the RAM data inspection process is repeatedly performed, and vice versa. When it is determined that the check of the RAM inspection data is completed in step S203, the process proceeds to the setting process of step S5 of phase 1.

FIG. 14 shows a control processing procedure of a subroutine of the setting value reading processing defined in step S4 in the main processing of FIG. When the setting value reading process is started, first in step S300, it is determined whether or not the probability changing switch 71 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is turned on, that is, whether or not the probability setting state is changed. If it is determined that the probability changeover switch 71 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S301. In step S301, an illegal flag is set to execute an illegal process so as not to play a game during the probability setting process, and the process proceeds to step S302. In step S302, a flag for executing probability setting writing is set, and the process proceeds to step S303, after setting a 5-second timer, the process proceeds to step S304.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S300 that the probability changing switch 71 is not turned on in the ON state shown in FIG. 5, the processes of steps S301 to S303 are performed. Without that, the process proceeds to step S304. In step S304, EE
For example, three types of probable probability setting values such as 1, 2, and 3 are read from the PROM, and the process proceeds to step S305. In step S305, it is determined whether or not the probability setting value read in step S304 is abnormal. If it is determined that there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S306, and the number of the random number setting table corresponding to the probability setting value is set. . That is, for example, when the probability setting value is "1", 1/200 of the high probability is set, and when the probability setting value is "2", the intermediate probability of
If 1/210 is set and the probability setting value is "3", the low probability 1/220 is set, and then the process proceeds to step S307 to display the probability setting display data shown in FIG. After being displayed on the device 75, the system waits for reset. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S305 that the probability setting value is abnormal (for example, if the probability setting value read in step S304 is "7"), the flow advances to step S308 to set the random number setting table. Number is automatically set to "2", the intermediate probability 1/210 is set, and then the process proceeds to step S307. Even if nothing is written to the EEPROM at the time of shipment from the factory or the probability setting operation is not performed at the game store, the number in the random number setting table is automatically set to "2", and the intermediate probability is set.

If it is determined that the flag is present, the process proceeds to step S3407 to determine whether it is a special reach, and if “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S3408. After outputting the special reach sound at the time of high probability, it returns to the main processing,
If it is determined to be “No”, the process proceeds to step S3409, the normal reach sound at the time of high probability is output, and then the process returns to the main process. Further, if it is determined at step S3406 that there is no high probability flag, In Step S3410, it is determined whether the special reach is reached or not, and “Yes”
If it is, the process proceeds to step S3411 to output the special reach sound and returns to the main process, and if it is determined "No", the process proceeds to step S3412 to output the normal reach sound and then returns to the main process. There are 6 types of reach sounds corresponding to each of the 6 reach modes described above. By playing different melodies depending on the respective reach modes, the player's expectation at the time of reach is increased and the interest is increased. It can be raised to keep players from getting bored. Further, by changing the reach sound in accordance with each reach mode, it is possible to let the player know the game state at that time and grasp the game state. Further, although the sound is produced in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and a synthetic voice corresponding to the type of reach, for example, "Tadaima, special reach, cutout, etc." may be output. On the other hand, when it is determined that the reach flag is on in step S3400, it is determined in step S3413 whether or not the right symbol is stopped, and when it is determined that it is stopped, the process proceeds to step S014 in FIG. When it is determined not to stop, the process returns to the main process.

FIG. 32 shows a processing procedure for changing the visual expression of the reach for each symbol at the time of reach in step S013 (process number = 3). First, step S3
In 420, the subroutine of FIG. 30 for creating the determination information of the special symbol is executed, the process proceeds to step S3421, it is determined whether it is a reach, and if it is determined that it is the reach, the process proceeds to step S3422. In step S3422, division branching is performed, and next steps S3423 to S34 are performed.
Any one up to 31 is executed alternatively. Then, in step S3423, the reach data table of the reach symbol number 1 is instructed, in step S3424, the reach data table of the reach symbol number 2 is instructed, and in step S3425, the reach data table of the reach symbol number 3 is displayed. Instruct, step S3426
Then, the reach data table of the reach symbol number 4 is instructed, and in step S3427, the reach data table of the reach symbol number 5 is instructed. In step S3428, the reach data table of the reach symbol number 6 is instructed, in step S3429, the reach data table of the reach symbol number 7 is instructed, and in step S3430, the reach data table of the reach symbol number 8 is displayed. Instruct, Step S3431
Then, the data table of the reach of the reach symbol number 9 is instructed, and the steps S 3423 to S 343 are performed.
After executing any one of the steps 1, the process moves to step S3432.
In addition, in the reach data tables of the reach symbol numbers 1 to 9, for example, 9 types of winning symbols “1, 1,
1 ”,“ 2, 2, 2 ”,“ 3, 3, 3 ”,“ 4, 4, ”
4 ”,“ 5, 5, 5 ”,“ 6, 6, 6 ”,“ 7, 7, ”
Data in which the expression format at the time of each reach of “7”, “8, 8, 8”, and “9, 9, 9” is changed is written. Then, based on the data of each data table, the lamp and LE
By flashing a visual notification device such as D, the player's sense of expectation and interest is enhanced, and the current game situation is sensed. In step S3432, the number of feed frames is calculated, and step S
Proceeding to 3433, after calculating the symbol replacement data, the process proceeds to step S3434, sets stop information for the right symbol, proceeds to step S3435, sets the control number for stopping the right symbol, and then returns to the main process. On the other hand, in the step S3432, when it is determined that the reach is not reached, the process proceeds to step S3436 to set the stop information at the normal time of the right symbol of the special symbol, the process proceeds to step S3437, and the right symbol stop other than the reach time is stopped. After setting the control number of, the process returns to the main process.

FIG. 33 shows a processing procedure in the case where the auditory expression of the reach is changed for each of the symbols at the time of reach in step S015 (process number = 5). First, step S3
In 440, it is determined whether or not the reach flag is on. If it is determined that the reach flag is not on, the flow proceeds to step S3441 to set the reach flag, and then the step S344.
Then, the process proceeds to step 2 and a split branch is performed, and the next step S344.
Any one of 3 to step S3451 is executed alternatively. Here, the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 1 is performed in step S3443, the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 2 is performed in step S3444, the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 3 is performed in step S3445, and step S3446. In, reach sound output of reach symbol number 4 is performed, and reach sound output of reach symbol number 5 is performed in step S3447. Further, the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 6 is performed in step S3448, the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 7 is performed in step S3449, and step S34
The reach sound output of the reach symbol number 8 is performed at 50, and the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 9 is performed at step S3451. Then, based on the reach symbol numbers 1 to 9, from the speaker 92 as the auditory notification means, the nine types of hit symbols “1, 1,
1 ”,“ 2, 2, 2 ”,“ 3, 3, 3 ”,“ 4, 4, ”
4 ”,“ 5, 5, 5 ”,“ 6, 6, 6 ”,“ 7, 7, ”
"7", "8,8,8", and "9,9,9" have different melody corresponding to each reach, playing to increase the player's expectation and interest, and to detect the current game situation. Is made to do. 34 and 36 are respectively shown in FIG.
The control processing procedure of the subroutine of the determination processing of the stop symbol of the special symbol defined in step S3000 is shown. When this process is started, the presence / absence of a high probability flag is first determined in step S3500. If it is determined that the flag is present, the process proceeds to step S3501 to set the random number determination number to 10 and set probability to 10 After doubling, step S3
Move to 502. If it is determined in step S3500 that there is no high probability flag, step S35
After setting 03 as the number of determination times, the process proceeds to step S
Move to 3502. Here, a method of changing the setting probability ten times will be described in more detail. First, for example, the hit determination random numbers generated by the random number generation means are 0 to
If there are 210 kinds of numerical values up to 209, and the hit determination value at the time of low probability is only “77”, the value of this low probability becomes 1/210. When changing from a low probability to a high probability, the random number for hit determination is changed from 0 to 209 without changing.
Using the numerical values of 210 types up to, the hit judgment value is changed from "77" only to "73", "74", "75", "7".
6 "," 77 "," 78 "," 79 "," 80 "," 8 "
By expanding to 10 types of "1" and "82", it is possible to change the winning probability from 1/210 to 10/210 (that is, 1/21) ten times. The random number for hit determination is constantly updated between 0 and 209. Then, in the step S3502, the step S35
Based on the results of 01 and S3503, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit. When it is determined that it is a big hit, the process proceeds to step S3504, and a big hit symbol is selected using the display symbol generation random number, and then step S3505. Move to. In step S3505, it is determined whether or not it is a lucky number, and for example, the lucky number is "77.
In the case of "7", when "777" is output, the process proceeds to step S3506 to set the lucky number flag to a high probability, and then the process proceeds to step S3507 to set the stop symbol area to the main processing. Return. Also,
If it is determined in step S3505 that the number is not a lucky number, the process moves to step S3507. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3502 that the jackpot is not a big hit, the process proceeds to step S3508 to determine whether or not the hit determination is completed. That is, when the probability is low, the determination is ended once, and when the probability is high, the determination is repeated 10 times, then the process proceeds to step S3509, the lost symbol is set, and the process proceeds to step S3507. Even if a lucky number is output in steps S3505 and S3506, the probability is low during the big hit operation, and the probability is high after the big hit operation. That is, as shown in the time chart of FIG.
_Even if the lucky number comes out at ₁ , the game is played with a low probability between T _{1 and} T ₂ during the big hit operation, and T ₂
When the next big hit comes out after the big hit action is finished (T ₃ ).
Play with a high probability between T _{2 and} T ₃ until, and when the next hit comes (T ₃ ), play with a low probability again and adjust so that the player does not become excessively advantageous. is doing.

Next, another probability variation method will be described with reference to FIG. In the process of FIG. 36, first, step S360.
The presence or absence of the high-probability flag is determined to be 0, and if it is determined that the flag is present, the process proceeds to step S3601. For example, if the probability variation rate is 10 times, the jackpot determination value is divided by 10 and 1 / After performing the processing of setting the value to 10 and rounding down the decimal places to obtain the integerized determination value, step S3602 is performed.
Move to. In step S3602, the fetched random number value is divided by 10 in the same manner as in the case of the above-described determination value, and a process of rounding down the decimal point and converting it into an integer is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S3603. Here, the process of converting the big hit determination value and the random number value into 1/10 and converting into an integer will be described more specifically. For example, when the hit determination value after being converted into an integer is "7", 10 Of the jackpot judgment values before dividing by, "70", "71", "72", "73", "7"
4 ”,“ 75 ”,“ 76 ”,“ 77 ”,“ 78 ”,“ 7 ”
When any of the 10 types of "9" is divided by "10" and the fractional part is rounded down, it is determined as "7", and as a result, for example, only "77" is set as the hit determination value. That is, the judgment value is set to be 10 times larger than the judgment value.

Further, for example, when the random number for the hit determination generated by the random number generating means is composed of 210 kinds of numerical values from 0 to 209, the random number fetched value is divided by "10" and the number is below the decimal point. If is rounded down, the probability of winning is 1 from 1/210 to 1/21.
It is possible to change it by 0 times. Further, in the case of the process of FIG. 34, the range of the hit determination value at the time of high probability is appropriately changed, and in the process of FIG. It is possible to change to. Incidentally, in the embodiment of FIG. 36, the case where the hit determination value and the hit random number value are divided by the probability variation rate and then the fractional part is rounded down is described, but not limited to this, the same effect can be obtained by rounding up the decimal part. Obtainable.

Then, in step S3603, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit, and when it is determined that it is a big hit, the process proceeds to step S3604 to select a big hit symbol using the display symbol generation random number and step S3605. , It is judged whether it is a lucky number,
If “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S3606, the lucky number flag is set, and then step S3.
Proceeding to 608, the stop symbol region is set and the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S3605 that the number is not a lucky number, step S3606 is executed without executing step S3606. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3603 that the jackpot is not a big hit, the process proceeds to step S3607 to set a lost symbol, and then the process proceeds to step S3608.

FIG. 37 shows the processing procedure of the losing operation processing (processing number = 6) in step S016 and the fanfare operation monitoring processing (processing number = 7) in step S017 of FIG. In step S3700, after executing a subroutine for creating special symbol determination information, step S370
If it is "Yes", the process proceeds to step S3702 to clear the number of big hits in the previous figure, and the process proceeds to step S3703 to set the fanfare control number. , Step S370
After shifting to 4 and clearing the high probability flag, the process returns to the main process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3701 that the jackpot is not a big hit, the process proceeds to step S3705 to set a control signal for the losing operation, and then the process returns to the main process.

FIG. 38 shows the processing procedure of the big hit operation process before the continuation of step S019 (process number = 9) and the big hit operation process after the continuation of step S01A (process number = 10). In step S3800, the number of big hit operations is updated, the process proceeds to step S3801, the count number is updated, and the process proceeds to step S3802. In step S3802, it is determined whether or not it is the final round. If it is determined that the final round is the final round, the flow shifts to step S3803, the control number for the final big hit operation is set, and then the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S3802 that it is not the final round, the control number of the big hit operation other than the final round is set, and then the process returns to the main process.

39 and 40, the step S019 described above is performed.
(Processing number = 9) and a part of the processing of S01A (processing number = 10) are shown. In step S3805, the control number in the latter half of the big hit operation is set and the process returns to the main processing. In step S3806, the control number in the first half of the big hit ending operation. After setting, returns to the main processing. This processing is performed because the processing is different in the first half and the latter half of the big hit operation and the big hit end operation, and it is necessary to switch the control numbers.

FIG. 41 shows the processing procedure of the effective time end monitoring process before the continuation of step S01B (process number = 11) and the effective time end monitoring process after the continuation of step S01C (process number = 12). . In this process, the control number of the latter half after the big hit ending operation is set in step S3900, the process proceeds to step S3901, the presence or absence of the input of the count SW is determined, and when it is determined that there is no input, the process proceeds to step S3902 and the no count monitoring After setting the flag, the process returns to the main process, and when it is determined that the count SW is input, the process returns to the main process without executing step S3902. On the other hand, after the control number in the latter half of the interval operation is set in step S3903, the process proceeds to step S3901, it is determined whether or not the count SW is input, and if it is determined that there is no input, step S39 is performed.
After proceeding to 02 and setting the no-count monitoring flag, the process returns to the main process, and when it is determined that the count SW is input, the process returns to the main process without executing step S3902.

42 and 43, step S0 of FIG.
End monitoring process of 1D big hit end operation (process number = 1
3) shows a processing procedure of 3), and includes a step of controlling a tone color change at the time of probability change according to the core of the present invention. First, in step S4000, the presence or absence of a lucky number flag is determined. If it is determined that the flag is present, step S4
After proceeding to 001 and setting the high probability flag to convert to a high probability, the process proceeds to step S4002, clears the lucky number flag and proceeds to step S4003, sets the sound control region at the time of high probability, and changes the timbre. After clearly notifying the player that the probability has changed to a high probability, the process proceeds to step S4004.

If it is determined in step S4000 that there is no lucky number flag, steps S4001 to S4003 are skipped and step S400 is performed.
Move to 4004. In step S4004, after executing a subroutine program of a process of storing and monitoring special symbols, it is determined in step S4005 whether or not it is a normal operation. If “No”, the process proceeds to step S4006 to turn on the step switching flag. Then step S4
In step 007, the switching information corresponding to the control number is set, and the process proceeds to step S4008. After the normal operation process of step S010 and the losing operation process of step S016 are performed, the process proceeds to step S4004 and the subsequent steps are performed. Further, the left symbol stop monitoring processing in the step S012, the step S01
3 middle symbol stop monitoring and reach determination processing, the right symbol stop monitoring processing of the step S014, the step S0
15. Right symbol stop monitoring process at reach and reach voice process, reach end process of fanfare operation at step S017, jackpot operation process before continuation and jackpot operation process after continuation at steps S019 and S01A, step S01B, After the end time monitoring process of the effective time before continuation of S01C and the end time monitoring process of the effective time after continuation are performed, the processes of step S4007 and subsequent steps are performed before returning to the main process.

In step S4008, the sound control area is updated, and the flow advances to step S4009. After updating the sequence time, the flow advances to step S4010 to update the execution step number and return to the main processing.

FIGS. 44 and 45 show step S1 of FIG.
The control processing procedure of the subroutine of the decoration edit processing defined by 104 is shown. In this process, first, step S500.
At 0, a lamp and jackpot information is taken out and a subroutine for collectively performing the lamp display processing of each routine is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step S5001 to determine whether or not the jackpot operation is in progress, and it is determined that the jackpot operation is in progress. If you do,
In step S5002, the display data of the count number is taken out and the display process of the count number is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S5004. If it is determined in step S5001 that the big hit operation is not in progress, step S5001
After proceeding to 5003 and setting the off data of the count number, the process proceeds to step S5004.

In step S5004, it is determined whether or not the lucky number flag is present. If it is determined that the flag is present, the flow advances to step S5005 to set high-probability display data and cause the decorative lamp to blink in accordance with a predetermined expression format. After clearly notifying the player that the jackpot operation with the lucky number is in progress and that the probability is high, the process moves to step S5006, the lamp data is set in the output range, and the process proceeds to step S5007 to display the count. After setting the information of, the process proceeds to step S5008.
If it is determined in step S5004 that there is no lucky number flag, the process proceeds to step S5006 without executing step S5005.

Then, in step S5008, OFF information of the solenoid SOL-A as an actuator for opening and closing the opening / closing door 52 of the variable winning a prize device 50 is set, and the process proceeds to step S5009 to determine whether or not the symbol is rotating, and rotating. If it is determined to be, the process proceeds to step S5010, the LED is turned on, the process proceeds to step S5011, and it is determined whether or not it is the solenoid SOL-A on timing, and if “Yes”, to step S5012. Then, the solenoid SOL-A is turned on to turn on step S501.
3, the output information of the solenoid SOL-A and the LED is set, and then the process returns to the main process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5009 that the symbol is not rotating, step S5010 is executed without executing step S5010.
If it is determined in step S5011 that the solenoid SOL-A is not on-timing in step S5011, the process proceeds to step S5013 without executing step S5012.

FIG. 46 shows the control processing procedure of the LED editing processing relating to the root of the present invention defined in step S1105 of FIG. Here, the LED editing process is performed to make a judgment between a random number value for hit determination taken from the memory and a preset hit determination value, and the deviation between the random value for hit determination and the hit determination value is ± 10%. Within (for example, the random number value for hit determination is “8170”, and the hit determination value is “7353-898”).
7 "), the corresponding LEDs 45a to 45d of the winning memory display (for example, if the second winning in the memory corresponds, four LEDs arranged in a row in a row)
Of the two, the second 45b LED from the left end is displayed in a blinking manner to perform so-called in-memory reach. First, in step S6000, stored display data corresponding to the memory is set (that is, the winning memory display is the current one). After lighting up according to the number of storages, the process proceeds to step S6001 to set a random number storage area (that is, to set the start address of the random number storage area), and then to step S6002, which is stored in the random number storage area. The current storage number for determining the random number value for the storage number is set, and the process proceeds to step S6003. Step S6
In 003, the random number value and the big hit value of the storage area set in step S6001 (predetermined hit judgment value)
Is judged to be within ± 10%, and "Y
If "es", the process advances to step S6004 to LE.
It is determined whether or not it is the turn-off timing of D. If it is determined that the timing is the turn-off timing, the process proceeds to step S6005 and the turn-off data is set in the predetermined storage LED (that is,
The predetermined storage LED is turned off) and the process proceeds to step S6006.

In step S6006, the random number storage area is updated (that is, the address of the random number storage area is updated), and the flow advances to step S6007 to determine the number of random numbers stored in the random number storage area. The processes of steps S6003 to S6007 are repeated until the end. On the other hand, if the determination is completed in step S6007, the process returns to the main process. In addition, the steps S6003 and S6
When it is determined to be “No” in 004, step S600
Go to 6. By this LED editing process, for example, when the random number value captured at the time of the second prize in the prize memory has a deviation of ± 10% or less from the jackpot value, the four LEDs (45a to 45d) of the prize memory indicator. ), The second LED (45b) from the left end can be displayed in a blinking manner to notify the player of the possibility of a big hit, thereby increasing the fun. By the blinking of the LED, it is generally known whether or not a big hit occurs before the variable display game is actually executed, which may impair the player's interest or expectation. If the range is not limited to ± 10%, but is expanded to ± 15%, for example, it will be more surprising to notify the reach in memory by blinking the LED, which can give the player a new expectation and interest. it can.

FIG. 47 shows the control processing procedure of the symbol editing processing defined in step S1103 of FIG. This symbol editing process is to notify the player of the current probability of the probability by changing the background color of the symbol at the time of high probability and at the time of low probability, and is one of the basis of the present invention. First, in step S7000, the presence or absence of the high probability flag is determined, and when it is determined that the flag is present, the process advances to step S7001 to take out the decorative pointer 2 of the special symbol and set the color of the color liquid crystal panel or the like forming the background of the symbol to green. Is converted to orange, and after executing a subroutine for clearly informing the player that the probability is high, the process proceeds to step S7002. In step S7002, the decoration address of the right symbol is set to the left of the special symbol, and the process proceeds to step S7003.
After setting the decoration address of the middle pattern, step S70
After shifting to 04, the decoration address of the left symbol is set to the right of the special symbol, and then the process returns to the main process. Incidentally, the step S
The processing of 7002 to S7004 is performed on the left →
It is performed in order to convert the stop order of symbols that were middle → right to right → middle → left at high probability. In this way, by changing the stop order of the symbols at the time of low probability and at the time of high probability, the notification of the probability fluctuation to the player becomes more reliable, and at the same time, the notification means of the probability fluctuation is diversified and the interest of the player is increased. It becomes possible to raise.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S7000 that there is no high probability flag, that is, when the probability is low, the process proceeds to step S7005, and the decorative pointer 1 of the special symbol is taken out and the background color of the symbol is made green. After executing the subroutine, the process moves to step S7006. Then, by setting the background color of this symbol to green, the player is informed that the game is in progress with a low probability. In step S7006, the decoration address of the right symbol is set and the process proceeds to step S7007. After setting the decoration address of the middle symbol, the process proceeds to step S7008 to set the decoration address of the left symbol, and the pattern is changed from left to middle → right. After stopping in order, the process returns to the main process.

48 and 49 show step S1 of FIG.
The control processing procedure of the symbol variation processing concerning the root of the present invention defined by 102 is shown. This symbol variation process is a process of changing the stop order of symbols in the variable display portion of the variable display device at the low probability time and the high probability time as described above. In this process, first, in step S7100, the control information is taken out, the process proceeds to step S7101, the timer is updated, the process proceeds to step S7102, it is determined whether the limit is reached, and if it is determined that the limit is reached, step S71 is performed.
After shifting to 03 and initializing the timer, step S71
Move to 04. In step S7104, it is determined whether or not the vehicle is stopped. If it is determined that the vehicle is not stopped, the process advances to step S7105 to perform upper and lower limit correction, and then step S7.
Proceeding to 106, it is judged whether or not the limit is reached. When it is determined that the limit is reached, the process proceeds to step S7107, the pointer is initialized and the process proceeds to step S7109, the table position is moved, and then the process proceeds to step S7110 to set the control information of the next symbol. The process proceeds to step S7111, and it is determined whether or not the process is finished. If it is determined that the process is finished, the process proceeds to step S71.
If it is determined that the process has not ended, the process returns to step S7101, and steps S7101 to S7111.
The above process is repeated a predetermined number of times. In addition, when it is determined that the limit is not reached in steps S7102 and S7106, or when it is determined in steps S7104 and S7108.
If it is determined to be “Yes” in step S711,
Move to 0.

Then, in step S7112, the presence or absence of the high probability flag is determined, and when it is determined that the flag is present, the process proceeds to step S7113, the display address of the right symbol is set to the left of the special symbol, and the process proceeds to step S7114.
After setting the display address of the middle pattern, step S71
After shifting to 15, the display address of the left symbol is set to the right of the special symbol, and then the process returns to the main process. This step S71
The processing of 13 to S7115 is performed in order to convert the stop order of the symbols to right → middle → left at the time of high probability, and the player is informed that the high probability is in the stop order. There is.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S7112 that there is no high probability flag, that is, when it is determined that the probability is low, the process proceeds to step S7116, the display address of the right symbol is set, and the process proceeds to step S7117. After setting the display address of the medium pattern, step S7118
Then, the display address of the left symbol is set and the process returns to the main process. Incidentally, the steps S7116-S711
By the processing of 8, the stop order of symbols at low probability is left →
From middle to right, the player is informed that the probability is low.
