[Table 3] The processing of the task 2 shown in FIGS. 15 to 17 is the probability mode signal from the key switch 23, which is the value of the big hit determination random number used for the hit determination when the left, right, and middle special symbol display sections 4, 5, and 6 are stopped. Value, that is, based on any one of setting 1, setting 2, and setting 3, and if there is a winning of the game ball into the first-type starting opening 11, for jackpot determination at the time of winning detection This is a process of storing up to four random number values.

The CPU 30 which has started the processing of task 2
First, the internal data stored in the symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 are compared and determined by comparing all the values of the internal processing indexes stored in the symbol data storage registers r0 to r2 created in the processing of task 1 (step b1). If all the processing index values match, r0 to r of each internal processing index
The current value of 2 is stored in each of the left, middle, and right jackpot symbol data storage registers r0a to r2a (step b2), and if the combination of the created internal processing indices does not match and is related to the outlier symbol, The current value of each internal processing index r0 to r2 is stored in each of the left, middle, and right outlier symbol data storage registers r0b to r2b (step b3).

Next, the CPU 30 increments the value of the big hit random number storage register W in the range of 0 to 250 (step b4), and determines whether or not the value of the big hit random number storage register W has reached 250. (Step b
5) Whenever the value of the big hit random number storage register W reaches 250, the value of the register W is initialized to 0 (step b).
6). Therefore, in practice, the jackpot random number storage register W
Value of 250 is never stored.

After the processing of step b5 or step b6, the CPU 30 shifts to step b7 and switches the value of the probability setting random number storage register V. CP
The U30 stores 0 to 2 bits (values from 0 to 7) of the R register in the general register RA for calculation (step b
7), 1 is added to the value of the general register RA (step b
8) Then, the value of the general register RA is added to the value of the probability setting random number storage register V, and the calculation result is stored in the probability setting random number storage register V (step b9). Then the CPU
30 determines whether the value of the probability setting random number storage register V is 256 or more (step b10). If the value of the probability setting random number storage register V is 256 or more, the probability setting random number is 30. The value of the storage register V is initialized to 0 (step b11). Therefore, the value of the probability setting random number storage register V is switched in the range of 0 to 255.

After the processing of step b10 or step b11, the CPU 30 moves to step b12,
Medium, it is determined whether or not the value of the high speed time determination timer GOTM regarding the high speed fluctuation time of the right special symbol is 0 (step b12).

Here, the value of the fast time determination timer GOTM is set to a predetermined value when the number of stored random numbers for jackpot determination stored according to the winning of the game ball into the first-type starting opening 11 is 1. After that, the value is decremented by 1 for each processing of the task 2 executed in a predetermined processing cycle. If the value of the fast time determination timer GOTM is 0, in the symbol variation process of the special symbol of the subsequent task 3, the variation time of the special symbol is shortened. CPU30
When the value of the fast time determination timer GOTM is 0, the process proceeds to step b14, while when the value of the fast time determination timer GOTM is not 0, the value of the fast time determination timer GOTM is decremented by 1. (Step b1
3) and shifts to step b14.

The CPU 30 having moved to step b14
Whether or not there is a winning of the game ball to the first type starting opening 11 is determined by whether or not there is a signal input from the first type starting opening winning detection switch SW1 (step b14), and the first type starting opening. If there is a signal input from the winning detection switch SW1, the value of the winning memory number counter C is incremented by 1 (step b15), and whether the value of the winning memory number counter C reaches the prescribed winning memory number of 5 or not. It is determined whether or not (step b16), and if it has not reached 5, it is determined whether or not the current value of the winning memory number counter C is 1 (step b17), and the current value of the winning memory number counter C is 1. If there is, a predetermined value is set in the fast time determination timer GOTM (step b18), while if the current value of the winning prize memory number counter C is not 1, the process directly proceeds to step b19.
Corresponding to the current value of the prize memory number counter C, the confirmed random number memory registers R1 to R4 are assigned to the big hit random number memory register W.
And stores the value of (step b19 to step b2
5), the processing of task 2 ends. As a result, when there is a winning of the game ball to the first type starting opening 11, the jackpot random number storage register W is stored in the confirmed random number storage registers R1 to R4.
Up to four values of will be stored.

In addition, in the determination processing of step b14, when the signal input from the first type starting opening winning detection switch SW1 is not detected, the CPU 30 causes the task 2 to execute.
When the current value of the prize memory number counter C is 5 or more in the determination processing of step b16, the CPU 30 also ends the processing of task 2. For this reason, if the winning storage of the game ball to the first type starting opening 11 is already 4, the fifth winning to the first type starting opening 11 is not stored.

In the embodiment, the value of the high speed time determination timer GOTM is set to a value which is set in the high speed time determination timer GOTM in the processing of step b18 to define 4.600 seconds at the processing timing of the embodiment.

By the processing from step b1 to step b25, the CPU 30 creates a big hit determination random number used for the symbol determination when the special symbols of the left, right and middle special symbol display portions 4, 5, 6 are stopped, The value of the probability setting random number storage register V is switched in the range of 0 to 255, and the value of the big hit determination random number is stored in accordance with the winning of the game ball into the first type starting opening 9.

Next, a description will be given of the processing of the task 3 for making a hit determination based on the symbol variation of the special symbol and the value of the probability mode. The CPU 30 executes steps c1 to c6.
In the determination process up to, the current value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is determined, and the left, right, and middle special symbol display portions 4, 5, 6 are changed according to the current value of the special symbol operation flag Fa,
The jackpot is determined based on the stored value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the probability mode, and the value of the random number for probability setting,
In the case of a big hit, the continuous opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 8 is performed.

The value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is 0 and is the first.
Waiting for winning detection to the seed starting port 11 1 in left, middle, right special symbol display section 4,6,5 changing, 2 right, middle special symbol display section 5,6 changing, 3 in While the special symbol display unit 6 is changing, in 4 when the stop symbols of the left special symbol display unit 4 and the right special symbol display unit 5 match, the symbol of the special symbol display unit 6 is fluctuating, 5 is a special winning opening 8 During the waiting time until the opening of No. 2, the opening and closing operation of the special winning opening 8 is defined by 6. Further, the variation stop of each special symbol is performed in the order of left, right, and middle.

If there is no winning of the game ball into the first type starting opening 11 and the symbol variation of the left, right, and middle special symbol display portions 4, 5, 6 has not been started, the current value of the special symbol operation flag Fa Is 0, the CPU 30 determines true in the determination process of step c1, shifts to step c7, and determines whether or not the current value of the winning number storage counter C is 0 (step c7). When the value of the winning number storage counter C is a value other than 0, the value of the winning number storage counter is decremented by 1 (step c8), and the data of the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R4 is set to the fixed value storage register R0. And sequentially shift to the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R3,
The fixed random number storage register R4 is initialized by setting 0 (step c9). As a result, the value of the winning number storage counter C is decremented by 1. Therefore, in the processing of the task 3 in the next period and thereafter, when the winning of the game ball into the first-type starting opening 11 is detected, a fixed random number is determined. The value of the big hit random number storage register W is stored in the storage register R4.

On the other hand, in the discrimination processing of step c7,
When the value of the winning number storage counter C is 0, it means that the winning of the game ball to the first type starting opening 9 has not been detected, and in this case, the CPU 30 changes the symbol of the special symbol. Without performing, the processing of task 3 ends.

When the processing of step c9 is executed,
The CPU 30 determines whether or not the current value of the high speed time determination timer GOTM is 0 (step c10), and if the value of the high speed time determination timer GOTM is 0, the parameter h is set as the high speed fluctuation time of the left special symbol. While setting the predetermined value A4 (step c11), the fast time determination timer GO
If the value of TM is a value other than 0, the predetermined value A1 is set in the parameter h (step c12), and then the timer T2 is set.
To start timing (step c13), switch the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa to 1 and store the start of the variation process of the left, right and middle special symbols (step c14), and the variation state flag Fb. 1 is set (step c15), 1 is set to the symbol fluctuation output flag f1 to store the start of the symbol fluctuation of the special symbol display section 9 related to external output (step c16), and the left and right shown in FIG. , According to the timing chart of the symbol variation process of the medium special symbol, left, right, start the high-speed variation process for the medium special symbol (step c1
7) and the processing of this cycle ends.

Here, the value of the variation state flag Fb is a flag that defines the variation state of the special symbols of the special symbol display portions 4, 5, 6 and is 0 when stopped, 1 when high-speed varying, and 2 when medium. During the speed change, 3 is used to specify the low speed change.

When the value of the high speed time determination timer GOTM becomes 0, the value A4 set in the parameter h which defines the high speed fluctuation time of the left special symbol display portion 4 is 1.056 seconds in this embodiment. , High-speed time determination timer GOTM
When the value of is not 0, the value A1 set in the parameter h that defines the high speed fluctuation time of the left special symbol display portion 4 is 5.
It is set to 056 seconds, and the reduction of the high speed fluctuation time set when the value of the high speed time determination timer GOTM is 0 is 4.000 seconds.

The value of the fast time determination timer GOTM is the first
When the total number of winning memories to the seed starting port 11 is 1, it is set by the process of step b18. Therefore, the elapsed time after the total number of winning memories to the first type starting port 11 becomes 1 In the case of 4.600 seconds, 1.056 seconds will be set as the high-speed fluctuation time of the left special symbol display portion 4, and in the normal case, 5.056 seconds will be set.

Hereinafter, the case where the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa becomes 1 and the variation process of the special symbol is started will be described.

In the processing of the next period and thereafter, the CPU 30 determines based on the value 1 of the special symbol operation flag Fa in step c1 and step c2, and then shifts to step c18.
Depending on the value 1 of the fluctuation state flag Fb, steps c1, c2 and c1 are performed until the elapsed time T2 after the start of fluctuation display reaches the value set in the parameter h.
8. The determination process of step c19 and the process of step c37 relating to the high speed fluctuation of the left, right, and middle symbol display units 4, 5, and 6 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T2 after the start of variable display of the special symbol display portions 4, 5, 6 reaches the value set in the parameter h (step c19), the value stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is a big hit. A process relating to a hit determination as to whether or not the value is

First, the CPU 30 determines that the value stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is the set value 1 which defines the big hit.
Whether or not it matches 0, that is, the value of the big hit random number storage register W at the time of winning detection of the first-type starting opening 11 which is the starting stimulus of the present symbol variation processing matches the set value 10 corresponding to the big hit. It is determined whether or not to perform (step c2
0), if the value of the fixed value storage register R0 matches the set value 10, the process proceeds to step c23.

If the value of the fixed value storage register R0 does not match the set value 10 in the discrimination processing of step c20, C
The PU 30 will determine whether or not the value of the high-probability flag Fp is the value 1 that defines the high probability (step c2).
1).

The value of the high probability flag Fp is 0 when the probability is normal, and 1 when the probability is high. The value of the high-probability flag Fp is one of the three patterns shown in FIG. 13 in which the combination of the left, middle, and right special symbols in the case of a big jackpot is selected in the subsequent jackpot determination process of step c69. In this case, the value of the high-probability flag Fp is set to 1 at this point, and the combination of the big hit symbols of the left, middle, and right special symbols at the time of the next big hit occurrence is shown in FIG. When a symbol other than the combination is used, it is returned to the value 0 that defines the normal probability.

When the result of the determination in step c21 is that the value of the high probability flag Fp is not the value 1 which defines the high probability, that is, when the hit is determined by the normal probability, the value that defines the big hit is only 10. Yes, in this case, the value of the fixed value storage register R0 does not match the set value 10 and is out of the range, and the CPU 30 proceeds to step c30.

On the other hand, if the result of determination in step c21 is that the value of the high-probability flag Fp is the value 1 defining the high probability, that is, if the high-probability hit is determined, the CPU 3
0 indicates that the value of the fixed value storage register R0 is 125 to 133.
It is determined whether or not the value is within the range (step c2
2), the value of the fixed value storage register R0 is 125 to 133
If the value is within the range of, the process proceeds to step c23, while the value of the fixed value storage register R0 is 125 to 13
If the value is not within the range of 3, it is out of the range and the CPU 30
Moves to step c30. When the hit determination is performed with a high probability, the values defining the hit are 10 and 125 to 133, which means that the possibility of a big hit is 10 times the normal probability.

When the hit determination is performed with normal probability and the value of the fixed value storage register R0 is 10, and when the hit determination is performed with high probability, the value of the fixed value storage register R0 is 10 or within the range of 125 to 133. To be a value of, it means that jackpots may occur. In this case, CP
The U30 shifts to step c23, where the key switch 23
Final judgment of whether or not to be a big hit is made according to the value of the probability mode set by.

The CPU 30 inputs a mode signal from the setting mode control unit 26 to set a value in the setting probability flag Fr (step c23), and then sets the setting probability flag Fr.
It is determined whether the value of is 1, 2, or 3 (step c24 to step c28).

When the value of the set probability flag Fr is 1, that is, when the probability mode is setting 1, the determination result of step c24 becomes true and the CPU 30 proceeds to step c25 to set the probability. It is determined whether or not the value of the random number storage register V for use is 255 or less (step c25),
If the value of the probability setting random number storage register V is less than or equal to 255, it is a win and the process shifts to step c29, while if the value of the probability setting random number storage register V is not less than 255, it is out. The process proceeds to step c30, but since the range of values that the probability setting random number storage register V can take is from 0 to 255, if the setting is 1, if the value of the big hit determination random number is a value related to the big hit, it is judged as a win. Become.

When the value of the set probability flag Fr is 2, that is, when the probability mode is setting 2, the determination result of step c24 becomes false and the determination result of step c26 becomes true, and the CPU 30 Move to step c27,
It is determined whether or not the value of the probability setting random number storage register V is 232 or less (step c27). If the value of the probability setting random number storage register V is 232 or less, it is a hit and the process proceeds to step c29. On the other hand, if the value of the random number storage register for probability setting V is not 232 or less, it is out of order and the process proceeds to step c30.

When the value of the set probability flag Fr is 3, that is, when the probability mode is setting 3, the determination result of step c24 becomes false and the determination result of step c26 becomes false, and the CPU 30 Move to step c28,
It is determined whether or not the value of the probability setting random number storage register V is 209 or less (step c28). If the value of the probability setting random number storage register V is 209 or less, a win is given to step c29. On the other hand, if the value of the probability setting random number storage register V is not 209 or less, the process goes to step c30.

The probability that a big hit will occur when the hit judgment is performed with the normal probability is that the total number of values that the big hit determination random number can take is 250 and that the probability setting random number can take 256. Since the number of random numbers that can be a big hit is 10 and only one, if the setting is 1, 1/2
56/256/256, that is, 1/250, and in the case of setting 2, 1/256/233/256, that is, in summary, 1 / 274.7, and in the case of setting 3, 1 / 256 * 210/256, that is, 1 / 304.8 in outline.

The probability that a big hit will occur when the hit judgment is performed with a high probability is that the total number of values that can be taken by the big hit judgment random number is 250, and the total number of values that can be taken by the probability setting random number is 256. Yes, the random number that is a big hit is 1
Since there are 10 in total, 0 and 125 to 133, setting 1
10/256/256/256, that is, 10/250, and 10 when setting 2.
/ 256/233/256, that is, 10/2
It becomes 74.7, and when it is setting 3, 10/256
210/256, or roughly 10 / 304.8
Becomes

If the CPU 30 determines that the hit is successful,
The values of the left, middle and right jackpot symbol data storage registers r0a to r2a are stored in the left, middle and right display symbol data storage registers r0c to r2c (step c29),
If it is determined to be off, the process proceeds to step c30, where the left,
Middle, right off each value of the design data storage register r0b to r2b is stored in each of the left, middle and right display design data storage registers r0c to r2c (step c30), and the left, middle and right special symbols are displayed when the fluctuation is stopped. The symbols to be displayed on the parts 4, 6 and 5 are confirmed.

After executing the processing of step c29 or step c30, the CPU 30 changes the stop time t of the left special symbol.
At 3 o'clock, the value of the display index il for the left special symbol is changed so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the left display symbol data storage register r0c is displayed (step c3
1), a predetermined value A is set in the parameter t as the middle speed fluctuation time of the left special symbol (step c32), the timer T2 is activated to start the time counting (step c33), and the fluctuation state storage flag Fb is set to 2. Then (step c34), the fluctuation speed of the left special symbol display portion 4 is switched from high speed fluctuation to medium speed fluctuation (step c35), and the processing of task 3 of this cycle is ended. In addition, in this embodiment, the predetermined value A as the middle speed fluctuation time of the left special symbol is set to 0.128 seconds.

According to the processing timing of the embodiment, when switching from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed fluctuation, the current value of the display index il is 1 more than the display index of the symbol to be displayed on the left special symbol display portion 4 when the fluctuation is stopped. I to be the display index before the symbol
By changing the setting of l, r0c will be
You can get the pattern.

In the processing of the next cycle and thereafter, since the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is 1, the CPU 30 shifts to step c36 after executing the discrimination processing of step c1, step c2 and step c18 Depending on the current value 2 of the state storage flag Fb, until the elapsed time T2 after the start of the medium speed fluctuation display of the left special symbol display unit 4 reaches the value of the parameter t, step c1, step c2, step c18 and step The determination processing of c36 and step c38, the processing regarding the middle speed fluctuation of the left special symbol display portion 4 and the processing of step c43 regarding the high speed fluctuation of the middle and right special symbol display portions 6 and 5 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle. Will be done.

When the elapsed time T2 after the middle speed fluctuation display of the left special symbol display portion 4 reaches the value of the parameter t (step c38), the CPU 30 sets a predetermined value B to the parameter t as the low speed fluctuation time of the left special symbol. Is set (step c3
9) The timer T2 is activated to start timing (step c
40), 3 is set to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c41), and the fluctuation speed of the left special symbol display portion 4 is switched from medium speed fluctuation to low speed fluctuation (step c42), and the processing of task 3 of this cycle is performed. finish. In the embodiment, the predetermined value B as the low speed fluctuation time of the left special symbol is set to 0.256 seconds.

In the processing of the next cycle and thereafter, the CPU 30 shifts to step c44 after executing the discrimination processing of step c1, step c2, step c18 and step c36, and thereafter, according to the current value 3 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb, Until the elapsed time T2 after the low-speed fluctuation display on the special display section 4 reaches the value of the parameter t, the determination processing of step c1, step c2, step c18, step c36 and step c44, and the left special symbol display section 4 The low-speed fluctuation and the middle, the processing of step c45 regarding the high-speed fluctuation of each of the special symbol display units 6 and 5 on the right is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T2 after the low speed fluctuation display of the left special symbol display portion 4 reaches the value of the parameter t (step c44), the CPU 30 stops the low speed fluctuation of the left special symbol (step c46). At this point, the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index stored in the left display symbol data storage register r0c will be statically displayed.

Next, the CPU 30 sets the middle special speed change time of the right special symbol display unit 5 to correspond to the internal processing index of the right display symbol data storage register r2c at the time of the fluctuation stop time t5 of the right special symbol display unit 5. The value of the display index ir relating to the right special symbol is set and changed so that the symbol to be displayed is displayed (step c47), and the predetermined value C is set as the parameter t as the medium speed fluctuation time of the right special symbol (step c4).
8) The timer T2 is activated to start timing (step c
49), the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is switched to 2 (step c50), the variation state storage flag Fb is set to 2 (step c51), and the variation speed of the right special symbol display portion 5 is changed from high-speed variation to medium-speed. Switch to fluctuation (step c
52), the processing of task 3 in this cycle is completed. In addition,
In this embodiment, the predetermined value C as the medium speed fluctuation time of the right special symbol is 0.800 seconds.

According to the processing timing of the embodiment, when switching from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed fluctuation, the current value of the display index ir is 4 more than the display index of the symbol to be displayed on the right special symbol display portion 5 when the fluctuation is stopped. I to be the display index before the symbol
By changing the setting of r, r2c
You can get the pattern.

Hereinafter, the symbol variation processing of the right special symbol and the middle special symbol will be briefly described. In the process after the next cycle, the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa becomes 2, so that the CPU 30 executes steps c1, c2 and c3 based on the value 2 of the special symbol operation flag Fa.
After the determination, the process proceeds to step c53, where the symbol variation table process for the right special symbol and the symbol variation process for the medium special symbol are performed (step c53 to step c54), and the elapsed time after the variation start of the right special symbol is the predetermined time A2 + C + D. Until step c1, step c2, step c2
The determination process of 3 and the symbol variation process of the right special symbol display unit 5 and the symbol variation process of the middle special symbol display unit 6 in steps c53 to b54 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time after the start of fluctuation of the right special symbol reaches the predetermined time A2 + C + D (step c55), CP
U30 stops the symbol fluctuation of the right special symbol display portion 5 (step c56). At this time, the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index stored in the right display symbol data storage register r2c will be statically displayed.

Next, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the current value of the display index il of the left special symbol display unit 4 and the current value of the display index ir of the right special symbol display unit 5 match, that is, stop the variable display. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination of the left special symbol display unit 4 and the right special symbol display unit 5 satisfies the requirement for the combination of the big hit symbols (step c57), and after t5, depending on the determination result. The symbol variation process, that is, the variation time of the medium special symbol display portion 6 is set, but since this point is not directly related to the gist of the present invention, description thereof will be omitted.

When the determination result of step c57 is false, that is, the stop symbol on the left special symbol display unit 4 and the stop symbol on the right special symbol display unit 5 do not match, and there is no probability of a big hit. In the case of, that is, in the case of not reach, the CPU 30 switches the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa to 3 (step c59), while step c5.
When the determination result of 7 is true, that is, when the stop symbol of the left special symbol display unit 4 and the stop symbol of the right special symbol display unit 5 match, and there is a possibility that a big hit occurs, That is, in the case of reach, the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is switched to 4 (step c58), and the process of this cycle is ended.

If the stop symbol of the left special symbol display unit 4 and the stop symbol of the right special symbol display unit 5 that have stopped changing do not match, that is, if the reach does not occur, the special symbol operation flag Fa Since the value becomes 3, in the processing of the next cycle and thereafter, the CPU 30 determines based on the value 3 of the special symbol operation flag Fa, after the determination of step c1, step c2, step c3 and step c4, and then shifts to step c60. Perform symbol fluctuation processing related to special symbols (step c6)
0), the elapsed time after the start of variation of the medium special symbol is the set time A
Until it reaches 3 + E + F + G, the determination process of steps c1, step c2, step c3 and step c4 and the symbol variation process of the special symbol display portion 6 in step c60 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time after the start of variation of the medium special symbol reaches the set time A3 + E + F + G (step c61),
The CPU 30 stops the symbol fluctuation of the medium special symbol display portion 6 (step c62). At this point, the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index stored in the medium display symbol data storage register r1c is displayed statically. The CPU 30 sets the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa to 0 and initializes it (step c63), and finishes the process of this cycle. In this case, the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is set to 0, so in the processing of task 3 in the next cycle, the CPU 30 executes step c.
After the determination process of No. 1, the process proceeds to step c7, and the first type starting port 1
If there is a winning memory for 1, the symbol variation process of a new symbol will be started.

Further, if the stop symbol of the left special symbol display unit 4 and the stop symbol of the right special symbol display unit 5 that have stopped changing coincide with each other, that is, if the reach is reached, the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa Becomes 4, so in the process after the next cycle,
CPU30, based on the value 4 of the special symbol operation flag Fa, after determining step c1, step c2, step c3, step c4 and step c5, shifts to step c64, and performs a symbol variation process regarding the medium special symbol at the time of reach. (Step c64), the elapsed time after the start of fluctuation of the medium special symbol is set time A3 + I + (J + K) n + L.
Steps c1 and c until reaching + M + G
2, the determination process of step c3, step c4 and step c5 and the symbol variation process regarding the medium special symbol at the time of reach of step c64 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

Note that n is a value indicating the number of repetitions of medium-speed and high-speed symbol variation display after the time t6 of the medium special symbol display portion 6 at the time of reach, and is a value of 0 to 1 bit of the R register. It is a random value determined by.

Elapsed time after the start of variation of the medium special symbol at the reach time is set time A3 + I + (J + K) n + L +
When reaching M + G (step c65), the CPU 30
Stop the symbol fluctuation of the medium special symbol display portion 6 (step c
66). At this point, the middle display symbol data storage register r1
The symbol corresponding to the internal processing index stored in c will be statically displayed.

Next, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the special symbols in the left, middle, and right special symbol display portions 4, 5, 6 that are stopped and displayed match the combination of the jackpot symbols as shown in FIG. The determination is made (step c67). That is, it is determined whether or not the value of the left display symbol data storage register r0c and the value of the middle display symbol data storage register r1c match. In the case of reach, the value of the left display symbol data storage register r0c and the right display symbol data storage register r2c
Since the values of are already in agreement, if the determination result of step c67 is true, it is a big hit.

When the determination result of step c67 is false, the combination of the symbols of the left, middle, and right special symbols that are stopped and displayed does not match, and the CPU 30 is out, and the CPU 30 sets the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa. To 0 for initialization (step c
68), and the processing of this cycle ends. In this case, the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is set to 0, so in the processing of task 3 in the next cycle, the CPU 30 moves to step c7 after the determination processing of step c1 and goes to the first type starting opening 11. If there is a winning memory of, the symbol variation process of a new symbol will be started.

If the determination result of step c67 is true, the combination of the symbols of the left, middle and right special symbols that are stopped and displayed is a jackpot symbol combination. In this case,
The CPU 30 determines whether or not the winning combination of symbols is a symbol as shown in FIG. 13 (step c6).
9). That is, it is determined whether or not the value stored in the middle display symbol data storage register r1c is any one of 3, 5, and 7.

If the value stored in the middle display symbol data storage register r1c is any one of 3, 5 and 7, the CPU 30 determines that the determination result of step c69 is true, and the high probability flag Fp. The value of is set to 1 and the probability of a big hit in the symbol variation of the special symbol after the subsequent opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 8 is set to a high probability (step c71), and the high-probability output flag f2 in the external output is set. To 1
Is set (step c72).

If the determination result of step c69 is false, the CPU 30 sets the value of the high probability flag Fp to 0.
The probability that a big hit occurs in the symbol variation of the special symbol after performing the opening / closing operation of the subsequent special winning opening 8 is returned to the normal probability (step c70).

In case of a big hit, the CPU 30
After the processing of step c70 or step c71 and step c72, the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is switched to 5 (step c73), the jackpot output flag f3 in the external output is set to 1 (step c74), and this cycle The process ends.

Since the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is set to 5, in the processing of the task 3 in the next cycle, the CPU 30 executes the steps c1, c2, c3 and c.
4, after the determinations of step c5 and step c6, in the determination processing of step d1, it is determined to be true, the process proceeds to step d2, and standby processing for the special winning opening 8 is executed (step d2). Therefore, the symbol variation process regarding the special symbol is not performed.

The CPU 30 determines whether or not the condition for ending the waiting process for the special winning opening 8 is satisfied (step d2). If the condition for ending the waiting process for the special winning opening 8 is not satisfied, the process of this cycle is executed. finish.

Based on the value 5 of the special symbol operation flag Fa, the CPU 30 executes steps c1, step c2, step c3, step c4, step c5, and so on until the condition for ending the waiting process for the special winning opening 8 is satisfied. Step c6
Determination process and step d1, step d2, step d
The process of 3 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle, and when the condition for ending the waiting process of the special winning opening 8 is satisfied (step d2), the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is switched to 6 (step d).
4) The process of this cycle is completed.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is set to 6, so the CPU 30 carries out step c1, step c2, step c3, step c4, step c5, step c6, step d1 and step d5. After determining, the process proceeds to step d6, the opening / closing operation process of the special winning opening 8 is started (step d6), and it is determined whether or not the ending condition of the opening / closing operation processing of the special winning opening 8 is satisfied (step d7). If the end condition is not satisfied, the process of this cycle is ended.

The CPU 30 executes steps c1, step c2, step c3, step c4, step c5 until the conditions for ending the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 8 are satisfied.
The determination processing of steps c6, d1 and d5, the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 8 of step d6, and the determination processing of step d7 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the condition for ending the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 8 is satisfied (step d7), the CPU 30 closes the special winning opening 8 (step d8) and sets the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa to 0. Initialization (step d9),
The processing of this cycle ends.

Since the value of the special symbol operation flag Fa is 0, in the processing of the task 3 in the next cycle, the CPU 30 shifts to the step c7 after the determination processing of the step c1 and wins the first type starting opening 11. If there is a memory, the symbol variation process of a new symbol will be started. Further, in the case of a big hit with a combination of symbols as shown in FIG. 13, since the value of the high probability flag Fp is set to 1, the judgment in step c21 becomes true, and the big hit judgment random number The value is determined with high probability.

The process of task 4 shown in FIG. 28 is an external output process to the central control device 150 in the game arcade. The symbol variation information output, the high probability information output, and the jackpot information output to the central control device 150 are external because the central control device 150 receives data with all other pachinko machines installed in the game arcade. Acceptance of the signals output from the output drive circuits A and B may be rejected in some cases, and in order to avoid this, the signal output time is set to a predetermined time. In the case of the present embodiment, the output time of information output is 100 ms.

The CPU 30 first determines the central control unit 150.
Whether the signal can be output to the signal output flag F
It is determined whether or not the value of 1 is 0 (step e).
1). The value of the signal output flag F1 is 0 when the signal can be output, and 1 indicates that the signal is currently being output.

When the value of the signal output flag F1 is 0, the signal can be output to the central control device 150. The CPU 30 uses the external output drive circuit A, and from the external connection terminals A1 to A4, the value of the set probability flag Fr in which the symbol variation output flag f1, the high probability output flag f2, the jackpot output flag f3, and the probability mode value are stored. (0 to
Command for outputting the value of the jackpot output flag f2 from the external connection terminal B3 via the external output drive circuit B (step e2),
Each value of the symbol variation output flag f1, the jackpot output flag f2, and the high probability output flag f3 is cleared to 0 (step e
3) The value of the signal output flag F1 is set to 1 (step e4), the output time timer T3 is set to a value defining a predetermined time (step e5), and the processing of task 4 in this cycle is completed. As described above, the predetermined value set in the output time timer T3 is set to a value that sets the output time of information output to 100 ms according to the processing timing of the embodiment.

The external connection terminal A1 has a set probability flag Fr.
In order to output the values 0 to 3 of two, one set is composed of two,
The external connection terminals A2 to A4 are each configured by one, the value of the symbol variation output flag f1 is output from the external connection terminal A2, the value of the high probability output flag f2 is output from the external connection terminal A3, and the jackpot output flag f3. Is output from the external connection terminal A4. Each value of the symbol variation output flag f1, the jackpot output flag f2, and the high probability output flag f3 is 1
Is set to a signal high level, and 0 is set to a signal low level. In the setting probability flag Fr, both of the two signals have a signal low level in the setting 1, two signals have a high signal level in the setting 2, and one has a signal low level in the setting 3. The level and the other one are set to the signal low level.

When the special symbol display section 9 makes a symbol variation, the symbol variation output flag f1 is set to 1 by the process of step c16 of the task 3, and the probability in the case of hit determination of the symbol having a symbol variation is the normal probability. When switching to a higher probability, the high-probability output flag f2 is set to 1 by the process of step c72, and when the special symbols whose fluctuations are stopped become a big hit, the big hit output flag f3 is set in the process of step c74. Since 1 is set, when any of these is generated, the symbol variation output flag f1 of the external connection terminals A2 to A4,
The outputs of the terminals corresponding to the high-probability output flag f2 and the jackpot output flag f3 become the signal high level.

After the processing of step e1 and step e2, the symbol variation output flag f1,
Since the high probability output flag f2 and each value of the big hit output flag f3 are cleared to 0, after the next cycle, when the special symbol does not change, during the symbol change of the special symbol, or during the opening operation of the special winning opening 8. , The output of the external connection terminal A2 becomes the signal low level, the output of the external connection terminal A3 becomes the signal low level unless it is switched to a higher probability than the normal probability, and the output of the external connection terminal A3 becomes the signal low level unless a big hit occurs. .

In the processing of task 4 on and after the next period, the value of the signal output flag F1 is 1, so step e1
After the determination, the process proceeds to step e6, the value of the external signal output timer T3 is decremented by 1 (step e6), and then the value of the external signal output timer T3 is 0, that is, the signal output is started. It is determined whether or not the output time from 1 has reached the predetermined time (step e7), and if the output time from the start of signal output has not reached the predetermined time, the processing of task 4 in this cycle ends.

In the processing of task 4 on and after the next cycle, based on the value 1 of the signal output flag F1, the CPU 30 executes steps e1, e6 and e7 until the output time from the start of signal output reaches a predetermined time. When each process of step 4 is repeatedly executed for each process of task 4, a signal is output from the external connection terminals A and B to the central control device 150, and when the output time from the start of signal output reaches a predetermined time (step e7), The value of the signal output flag F1 is switched to 0 for initialization (step e8), the signal output is stopped (step e9), and the processing of task 4 in this cycle is completed.

Since the value of the signal output flag F1 is initialized to 0, the value of the symbol variation output flag f1, the high probability output flag f2, and the jackpot output flag f3 are newly added in the processing of task 4 in the next cycle. Then, the value of the set probability flag Fr in which the value of the probability mode is stored is output to the central control device 150.

For the central control device 150, the data of the number of prize balls or the number of balls lent in the card type pachinko machine 1 and the presence / absence of a pattern change, the occurrence of a high probability judgment, the occurrence of a big jackpot, and the setting of the probability of a big jackpot occurrence By outputting each data such as the mode, a file means for storing each data sent to the central control device 150 is provided, and data of the number of prize balls dispensed and the number of rented balls are cumulatively added to make a card type. A program that calculates the ball-out rate, etc. in the pachinko machine 1, accumulates the number of symbol fluctuations, the number of high probability judgments and the number of jackpots, and the cumulative results are the jackpots defined for the card-type pachinko machine 1 If a program for outputting a book with a CRT device or a printer is provided together with the probability setting mode regarding, the administrator can use each data based on these data. By, for example, consider the number of times the ball rate and the big hit, it is possible to seize further detailed analysis of the balance of payments on sales.
