Any of the three hole winning hole screen (A) to the three hole winning hole screen (C) Also, in the case where the game ball P falls into the V winning hole 64, when the variably displayed middle symbol is stopped and displayed, the middle symbol that is stopped and displayed is the same as the left and right symbols and becomes a big hit. .

Although the respective screens displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9 have been described above, the following six patterns can be classified as a general description of the case where the big hit is achieved. On the special zone screen (A), the left, middle, and right symbols are all stopped and displayed, and the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed all match. On the four hole winning screen (A), the game ball P wins the V winning hole 59. On the four hole winning screen (B), the game ball P wins the V winning hole 59. On the three hole winning screen (A), the game ball P wins the V winning hole 64. On the three hole winning screen (B), the game ball P wins the V winning hole 64. On the three hole winning screen (C), the game ball P wins the V winning hole 64.

Further, when the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped, when the reach is reached, as a result, the middle symbol is stopped with a symbol different from the left and right symbols, that is, when the reach is removed. Generally speaking, it can be divided into the following 12 patterns. (1) On the special zone screen (A), left, middle,
All the right symbols are stopped and displayed, and the left symbols, the middle symbols, and the right symbols that are stopped and displayed do not match. (2) On the special zone screen (B), the game ball P
Does not win the ball socket 53. (3) On the four hole winning screen (A), the game ball P falls into the disengagement hole 57. (4) On the four hole winning screen (A), the game ball P falls into the disengagement hole 58. (5) On the four hole winning screen (B), the game ball P falls into the detach hole 57. (6) On the four hole winning screen (B), the game ball P falls into the disengagement hole 58. (7) On the three-hole winning screen (A), the game ball P falls into the left deviation hole 65. (8) On the three hole winning screen (A), the game ball P falls into the right deviation hole 66. (9) On the three hole winning screen (B), the game ball P falls into the right deviation hole 66. (10) On the three-hole winning screen (C), the game ball P falls into the left deviation hole 65. (11) On the three-hole winning screen (D), the game ball P falls into the left deviation hole 65. (12) On the three-hole winning screen (D), the game ball P falls into the right deviation hole 66.

A flowchart showing the main part of the control program stored in the ROM 34 (FIGS. 23 to 38).
With reference to, the processing operation regarding the symbol display device 1 in the pachinko gaming machine will be described.

FIG. 23 is a main flow chart showing the outline of the processing operation executed by the CPU 14.
After the power is turned on, initialization processing is performed (step S0),
Initialize each storage register and flags necessary for the following processing.

After performing the initialization processing, the CPU 14 executes the clock reset circuit for each processing of task 1, task 2, task 3, display data / display command output processing and timer subtraction processing shown in steps S1 to S5. In response to a signal from (not shown), it is repeatedly executed in parallel every predetermined processing cycle.

FIG. 24 is a flow chart showing the outline of the processing of task 1. Task 1 is mainly processed on the left,
Right, creation of the left, right, and middle stop pattern data to be finally stopped and displayed on the middle symbol display portions 43, 45, and 44, and update and creation of each random number value, that is, a big hit determination random number V, a hit moving image setting The random number WIN, the out-of-reach moving image setting random number OUT, and the game ball operation setting random numbers X1 and X2 are updated and created, and the winning detection of the game ball to the first type starting opening 26 provided in the game board 22 of FIG. Big hit determination random number V according to the number of winning prizes
The memory of

The CPU 14, which has started the processing of task 1,
Display symbol creation processing is performed (step a1). FIG. 25 shows
It is a flow chart showing an outline of a display symbol creation process,
Based on the current value of the R register, the CPU 14 first
Right, middle symbol data is created, and each created symbol data is stored in each of the left symbol data storage register u0, the right symbol data storage register u1, and the middle symbol data storage register u2 (step a16), and the process proceeds to step a17. .

The algorithms for creating the left, right, and middle symbol data are different from each other, and the combinations of the created left, right, and middle symbol data are random. Also,
The R register is a register that is incremented by one each time the program stored in the ROM 34 is executed, and the content of the register is cleared to 0 when the saturation state is reached.

In step a17, step a1
It is determined whether or not the combination of the left, right, and middle symbol data created in 6 is a big hit combination. The winning combination is the left symbol data storage register u0,
The values of the left, right, and middle symbol data stored in each of the right symbol data storage register u1 and the middle symbol data storage register u2 are the same. The CPU 14 is on the left,
If the combination of the right and middle pattern data is for a big hit, the values of the left, right and middle pattern data are left, right,
It is stored in each of the medium and big hit symbol data storage registers v0, v1, v2 (step a18), and the display symbol creating process is completed.

In step a17, the left, right,
When it is determined that the combination of the medium symbol data is not related to the big hit, that is, when it is determined that the combination is related to the big hit, the CPU 14 proceeds to step a19.
Move to

In step a19, step a1
It is determined whether the combination of the left, right, and middle symbol data created in 6 is a reach combination. The combination that becomes the reach is a part of the combination that is out, and the value of the left symbol data stored in the left symbol data storage register u0 and the value of the right symbol data stored in the right symbol data storage register u1. If and match. Even in the case of a combination of big hits, naturally the value of the left symbol data and the value of the right symbol data are the same, but since they are eliminated by the determination processing in step a17, they are included in the combination that becomes the reach. Not that it is self-evident.

When the combination of the left, right, and middle symbol data is related to reach, the CPU 14 uses the left,
Right, the value of the middle symbol data is stored in each of the left, right, and middle reach symbol data storage registers r0, r1, r2 (step a20), while the combination of the left, right, and middle symbol data is not related to reach. The values of the left, right, and middle symbol data are left, right, and the inside out symbol storage register z0,
It is stored in each of z1 and z2 (step a21), and the display symbol creating process is completed.

When the display symbol creating process of step a1 is completed, the CPU 14 updates and creates each random number value used when executing the processes of task 2 and task 3 by each process of steps a2 to a5.

At step a2, the value of the big hit determination random number V is updated and created. It should be noted that the big hit determination random number V
The value of is within a predetermined range in a predetermined processing cycle, for example,
It is created by cyclically updating one by one within the range of 0 ≦ V ≦ α.

At step a3, the value of the random number WIN for setting the moving image is updated and created. The value of the random number WIN for hit moving image setting is a display screen displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9 of the symbol display device 1 when the value of the random number V for big hit determination described above matches a predetermined set value for big hit. At
It is a random number for selectively setting any one of the above-described six patterns, which is a big hit. The value of the random number WIN for setting the winning moving image is 0 ≦ WIN ≦, corresponding to the above-mentioned six patterns.
Within the range of 5, it is created by cyclically updating one by one at every predetermined cycle. In addition, for example, when the value of the random number WIN for setting the moving image is 0, "in the special zone screen (A), all the left, middle, and right symbols are stopped and displayed, and the left symbol and the middle symbol are stopped and displayed. And all the right symbols match. ”Means that the big hit establishment is set in the display mode.

At step a4, the value of the out-of-reach moving image setting random number OUT is updated. The value of the out-of-reach moving image setting random number OUT is the above-mentioned big hit determination random number V.
If the value of is out of alignment with the predetermined jackpot setting value, the combination of the left, right, and middle symbol data that is finally stopped and displayed on the left, right, and middle symbol display portions 43, 45, 44 is displayed. In the case of reach, that is, in the case of being out, but when the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed coincide with each other, among the 12 patterns described in (1) to (12) above, the reach is lost. It is a random number for selectively setting any one. In this case, although it is apparently indistinguishable from the reach state that occurs in the pre-process of becoming a big hit, since it does not become a big hit in the end, it will be defined as reach out.

The value of the out-of-reach moving image setting random number OUT is
It is created by cyclically updating one by one in every predetermined cycle within the range of 0 ≦ OUT ≦ 11 corresponding to the 12 patterns described in the above (1) to (12). Note that, for example, the value of the out-of-reach moving image setting random number OUT is 2
In the case of, the left symbol and the right symbol are matched and the reach is achieved, and the deviation is established in the display moving image mode that "the game ball P falls into the deviation hole 57 in the four hole winning screen (A)". Means set.

At step a5, each value of the game ball motion setting random numbers X1 and X2 is updated and created. The value of the game ball operation setting random number X1 is indicated by arrows a, b, and c on the game board screen (A), the game board screen (B), the special zone screen (A), and the special zone screen (B). It is a random number for selectively setting one of the three movement paths of P, and 0 ≦ X1 ≦ 2 corresponding to the three movement paths of the game ball P indicated by arrows a, b, and c. Within the range, it is created by cyclically updating one by one every predetermined cycle. Note that, for example, when the value of the game ball motion setting random number X1 is 0, it means that the movement route indicated by the arrow a on each screen is set.

On the game board screen (A) to the four hole winning screen (B) of the game ball motion setting random number X2, it is a random number for selectively setting one of the two movement paths, and 0 The values of 1 and 1 are alternately switched and updated every predetermined period. For example, on the game board screen (B), when the value of the game ball operation setting random number X2 is 0, it means that the movement route indicated by the arrow a is set.

When the CPU 14 completes the processing up to step a5, the CPU 14 proceeds to step a6. In step a6, it is determined whether or not there is a winning detection signal from the first-type starting opening winning detection switch SW1. If there is a winning detection signal from the first-type starting opening winning detection switch SW1, the CPU
14 shifts to the step a7, and the winning number storage counter C
It is determined whether or not the current value of 1 exceeds the specified memory number 4 (step a7). If the current value of the winning number storage counter C1 does not exceed the specified memory number 4, the value of the winning number storage counter C1 is set. It is incremented by 1 (step a8), and the process proceeds to step a9.

In the case of proceeding to step a9, the CPU 14 corresponds to the present value of the winning number storage counter C1.
The values of the big hit determination random number V are stored and stored in the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R4 (steps a9 to a1).
5), the processing of task 1 ends. As a result, when a game ball wins the first type starting opening 26, up to four values of the big hit determination random number V are stored in the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R4.

In the discrimination processing of step a6,
When there is no winning detection by the first-class starting opening winning detection switch SW1, and in the determination processing of step a7,
It is described in the flowchart that the CPU 14 terminates the processing of the task 1 without performing the processing of steps a9 to a15 when the current value of the winning number storage counter C1 exceeds the specified number of storages 4, as described in the flowchart. That's right.

Next, the processing of the task 2 and the processing of the task 3 will be described in correspondence with the game ball winning in the first type starting opening 26 provided on the game board 22 shown in FIG. 26 to 28
The processing of task 2 shown in (1) mainly relates to the variable display of the left, right, and middle symbols and the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 28 when a big hit occurs.

When the processing of task 2 is started, the CPU 14 first determines whether or not the current value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 is 0, which is a value at which a new pattern fluctuation can be started (step b1). When the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 is 0, it means that the symbol fluctuation can be newly started, and the CPU 14 proceeds to step b2.

The symbol variation state in the symbol display device 1 corresponding to the value of the variation process flag F1 is as follows. F1 = 0 (new symbol change can be started) F1 = 1 (left, right, middle symbol changing) F1 = 2 (left symbol stop display, right, middle symbol changing) F1 = 3 (left, right symbol stop) Display, middle symbol changing) F1 = 4 (left, right, middle stop display, big hit establishment determination or big hit) In step b2, it is determined whether or not the value of the winning number storage counter C1 is zero. Winning number memory counter C
If the value of 1 is 0, it means that there is no memory related to the winning of the game ball into the first type starting opening 26, and the CPU 14 ends the task 2. Therefore, the fluctuation of the symbol will not be started.

The processing of task 3 shown in FIGS. 29 to 38 is processing relating to the display screen displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9 of the symbol display device 1.

When the processing of task 3 is started, the CPU 14 first determines whether or not the current value of the screen processing flag F2 is 0 which defines the standby state until the start of symbol variation (step c1). When the value of the screen processing flag F2 is determined to be 0, the game board screen (A) shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9, and the CPU 14
Sets the screen number 1 in the screen number designation register GM (step c2), and then sets the current value (X1 is 0 to 2) of the game ball action setting random number X1 in the game ball action designation register PM. It is set (step c3), and the processing of task 3 ends.

The display screen states in the liquid crystal display section 9 of the symbol display device 1 corresponding to the value of the screen processing flag F2 are as follows. F2 = 0 (standby state until the start of symbol change, the game board screen (A) is displayed) F2 = 1 (left, right, middle symbol changing, the game board screen (B) is displayed) F2 = 2 (left symbol stop , Right, middle symbol changing, display game board screen (B)) F2 = 3 (left, right symbol stop, middle symbol changing, display game board screen (B)) F2 = 4 (left, right, middle Symbol stop, special zone screen (A), (B), four hole winning screen (A), (B), three hole winning screen (A), (B), (C), (D) Display any one) F2 = 5 (left, right symbol stop, middle symbol changing, display any one of special zone screen (A), (B)) F2 = 6 (left, right symbol) Stop, while changing the middle symbol, display one of the four hole winning screen (A), (B)) F2 = 7 (left, right symbol stop, middle symbol changing, three hole winning Display any one of screens (A), (B), (C), and (D)) Note that each display screen corresponding to the screen number set in the processing of task 3 is shown in Table 1. As shown.

[0099]

[Table 1] The CPU 14 that has completed the processing of the task 3 executes the display data / display command processing shown in step S4 of FIG. 23, and the value of the screen number 1 as a display command to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1 shown in FIG. Game board screen (A)
The current value of the game ball operation setting random number X1 that specifies the moving path of the game ball P whose moving image mode is randomly set as a part of the moving image portion above is output.

The CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1 which receives this
Is a game board screen (A) based on the control program for screen display stored in the system ROM 3 and each data set in the sprite table, character screen table and pallet table shown in FIGS. The display screen data to be displayed is expanded on the DRAM 6 or the DRAM 7, and the game board screen (A) is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9 via the LCD controller 8.

Further, the CPU 2 switches the display coordinate position of the sprite screen forming the game ball P for every predetermined period in accordance with the current value of the inputted random number X1 for game ball operation setting, whereby the game board screen ( A) on arrow a,
The game ball P is moved and displayed along one of the moving paths indicated by b and c. For example, if the current value of the game ball operation setting random number X1 is 0, the movement path indicated by the arrow a on the game board screen (A) is selected and designated, and the game ball P becomes the movement path of the arrow a. A video will be displayed along with it. In this way, on the game board screen (A), the moving path of the game ball P, that is, the moving image mode of the game ball P differs depending on the current value of the game ball operation setting random number X1, and moreover, for the game ball operation setting. It is randomly set by the value of the random number X1.

Now, when a game ball wins the first type starting opening 26 provided in the game board 22 shown in FIG. 1, as described above, the value of the big hit determination random number V regarding the game ball winning in the processing of task 1. Are fixed random number storage registers R1 to R4
Up to four are stored in the winning award memory, and are stored in the award memory number counter C1 as the award memory number.

In the processing of task 2, step b2
The determination result of is true, and the CPU 14 executes the processing of step b3 and thereafter.

The CPU 14 decrements the value of the winning storage number counter C1 by 1 (step b3), and then sequentially transfers the data of the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R4 to the fixed value storage register R0 and the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R3. After shifting, the fixed random number storage register R4 is initialized to 0 (step b4). As a result, the value of the big hit determination random number V relating to the big hit miss of the symbol combination related to the start of the symbol change this time is transferred and stored in the fixed value storage register R0.

After the processing of step b4, the CPU 14 proceeds to step b5. In step b5, it is determined whether or not the value of the big hit determination random number V stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is related to the big hit. The determination process depends on, for example, whether or not the value of the big hit determination random number V matches a predetermined set value that defines the big hit.

If the value of the big hit determination random number V stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is related to the big hit, C
PU14, left, right, middle and big hit symbol storage register v0,
Each value of v1, v2 left, right, middle display symbol storage register j
0, j1, j2 are stored (step b6), then the big hit flag is set to store the big hit occurrence (step b7), and the reach flag is set to detect the reach state occurrence occurring in the previous process in which the big hit is determined. It is stored (step b8), and the current value (one of the values 0 to 5) of the winning random number WIN for moving image setting is set in the confirmed winning moving image random number storage register D1 (step b9).
Move to 15.

Further, in the discrimination processing of step b5,
When it is determined that the value of the big hit determination random number V stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is not related to the big hit, that is, when it is determined that the value of the big hit determination random number V is related to deviation. Is the CPU 14 step b
Go to 10.

At step b10, it is judged if the value of the big hit determination random number V stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is related to the out-of-reach. In addition,
This determination process is performed, for example, by setting values β1 and β2 that define the reach of the jackpot determination random number V that is predetermined.
Depending on whether or not the value is within the range of, that is, β1 ≦ V ≦ β2.

If the value of the big hit determination random number V stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is related to out-of-reach, the CPU 14 sets the values of the left, right, and middle reach symbol storage registers r0, r1, r2 to the left. , Right, middle display symbol storage registers j0, j1, j2 are stored (step b11), and then the reach flag is set to store the reach state occurrence that occurs in the previous process in which the deviation is confirmed (step b).
12), the current value (one of the values 0 to 11) of the out-of-reach moving image setting random number OUT is set in the fixed out-of-reach moving image random number storage register D2 (step b1).
3) and shifts to step b15.

If the value of the big hit determination random number V stored in the fixed value storage register R0 is not related to the out-of-reach, the CPU 14 determines each value of the left, right and out-of-center symbol storage registers z0, z1, z2. Are stored in the left, right, and middle display symbol storage registers j0, j1, j2 (step b1
4) and shifts to step b15.

When the CPU 14 proceeds to step b15, it sets the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 to 1 (step b15), switches the value of the screen processing flag F2 to 1 (step b16), and stops the left symbol on the soft timer. Set a predetermined time of (step b17), to create symbol variation data for left, right, middle symbols (step b18),
The processing of task 2 of the current cycle ends.

After this, the CPU 14 carries out the processing of task 3 and the display data / display command processing, and then the subtraction of the soft timer is carried out by the timer subtraction processing of step S5.

In the processing of task 2 on and after the next cycle, as a result of the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 switching to 1, the CPU 14
Determines that the determination process of step b19 is true after the determination of step b1 and shifts to the determination process of step b20. Hereinafter, until the soft timer times out, the left,
Right, the design variation data for the middle design is repeatedly created at a predetermined processing cycle.

In the processing of task 2, when the symbol variation of the left, right and middle symbols is started and the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 1, in the processing of task 3, the CPU 14
After the determination in step c1, the determination processing in step c4 is determined to be true, the process proceeds to step c5, the screen number 2 is set in the screen number designation register GM (step c5), and then the game ball motion setting random number X1. The current value (X1 is one of 0 to 2) is set in the game ball operation designation register PM (step c3), and the processing of task 3 is ended.

The CPU 14, which has completed the processing of task 3,
Display data / display command processing is executed, and screen number 2 as a display command to the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1
Value, the current value of the game ball operation setting random number X1 that specifies the movement path of the game ball P whose moving image mode is randomly set as a part of the moving image portion on the game board screen (A), and left, right, middle The symbol variation data displayed on the symbol display portions 43, 44, 45 is output.

The CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1 which receives this
Switches the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 to the game board screen (B) based on the input screen number 2, and displays the left, middle, and right symbol display units 43, 44, 45 at the bottom of the display screen, In each of the symbol display portions 43, 44, 45, the value of the display data is continuously incremented, and the display output of each line is switched by several lines at a predetermined cycle, so that the symbols flow up and down left and right. , Display the middle pattern in a variable manner. Further, on the game board screen (B), the display coordinate position of the sprite screen forming the game ball P is switched every predetermined period in accordance with the current value of the inputted game ball operation setting random number X1. On the board screen (A), the game ball P is moved and displayed along any one of the moving paths indicated by the arrows a, b, and c.

After that, when the predetermined time until the left symbol stops passes and the value of the soft timer becomes 0 by the timer subtraction processing in step S5, step b in the processing of task 2
In the discrimination process of 20, the time-out of the soft timer is detected, and the CPU 14 proceeds to step b21,
2 is set to the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 (step b2
1), the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 2 (step b22), a predetermined time until the right symbol stop is set in the soft timer (step b23), and symbol variation data for the right and middle symbols is created (step b24), the processing of task 2 of the current cycle ends.

As a result of the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 being switched to 2, the CP in the processing of the task 2 in the next cycle and later is changed.
U14, after the determination of step b1 and step b19,
The determination process of step b25 is determined to be true, and step b2
The process shifts to the determination process of 6, and thereafter, until the soft timer times out, the creation of the symbol variation data relating to the right and middle symbols is repeated at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 2 in the processing of task 2, in the processing of task 3, the CPU 14 determines that the determination processing of step c6 is true after the determinations of step c1 and step c4. Then, the value of the left display symbol storage register j0 is set in the left stop symbol setting register LT (step c7), and the screen number designation register G
The screen number 2 is set to M (step c8), and then the current value (X2 is one of 0 to 1) of the game ball operation setting random number X2 is set to the game ball operation designating register PM (step c9). , Task 3 ends.

The CPU 14, which has completed the processing of task 3,
Display data / display command processing is executed, and for the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value set in the left stop symbol setting register LT, that is, the left display symbol storage register j
The value of 0, the value of screen number 2 as a display command, and the movement path of the game ball P on the game board screen (B) are indicated by arrow a.
Or, the current value of the game ball operation setting random number X2 that specifies any one of b and the symbol variation data for the right and middle symbols is output.

As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the left display symbol storage register j0 is stopped and displayed on the left symbol display section 43 at the lower part of the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display section 9,
On the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display unit 9, the game ball P is moved and displayed along one of the moving paths of the arrow a or the arrow b, passes through the open chucker 51, and the winning device 47 The wing pieces 50, 50 are rotationally moved and displayed so as to open the winning opening 52, and the cover 4
Eighth mouth 48a is displayed open and moved.

After that, when the predetermined time until the right symbol stops passes and the value of the soft timer becomes 0 by the timer subtraction process, the time-out of the soft timer is detected in the determination process of step b26 in the process of task 2. It
Next, the CPU 14 sets the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 to 3 (step b27), switches the value of the screen processing flag F2 to 3 (step b28), and sets a predetermined time until the middle symbol stops when the soft timer is disengaged. Set (Step b
29), symbol variation data relating to the medium symbol is created (step b30), and the processing of task 2 of the current cycle is ended.

As a result of the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 being switched to 3, the CP in the processing of task 2 in the next cycle and thereafter is
U14, after the determination of step b1, step b19 and step b25, determines the determination processing of step b31 as true, shifts to the determination processing of step b32, and until the soft timer times out, relates to the middle symbol. The creation of the symbol variation data will be repeated at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 3 in the processing of task 2, in the processing of task 3, the CPU 14 performs the determination processing of step c10 after the determination of step c1, step c4 and step c6. It is determined to be true, the value of the right display symbol storage register j1 is set in the right stop symbol setting register RT (step c11), the screen number 2 is set in the screen number designation register GM (step c12), and then the process proceeds to step c13. To do.

At step c13, it is judged if the reach flag is set or not. If the value of the big hit determination random number V that started the symbol variation this time is a big hit or out of reach, the reach flag is set by the processing of step b8 or step b12 in the processing of task 2.

First, the case where it is determined that the reach flag is not set will be described. It should be noted that this case is a case of normal disengagement. The CPU 14 sets the current value (one of 0 to 2) of the game ball motion setting random number X1 in the game ball motion designation register PM (step c14), and ends the processing of task 3.

The CPU 14, which has completed the processing of task 3,
Display data / display command processing is executed, and for the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value set in the right stop symbol setting register RT, that is, the right display symbol storage register j
The value of 1, the value of the screen number 2 as a display command and the current value of the game ball operation setting random number X1 that specifies the movement path of the game ball P on the game board screen (B), and the symbol variation data regarding the middle symbol. And output.

As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the right display symbol storage register j1 is stopped and displayed on the right symbol display unit 45 at the bottom of the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display unit 9,
The medium symbols are variably displayed on the medium symbol display portion 44, and on the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display portion 9, the game ball P is any one of the movement paths indicated by the arrows a, b and c. It is displayed along the two movement routes. When the reach flag is not set, the moving image mode of the game ball P is not picked up by the wing piece 50 of the winning device 47 that is open and displayed, and does not win the winning opening 52. In addition, the left symbol and the right symbol which are stopped and displayed are a combination of disagreements that do not match.

After that, when the predetermined time until the middle symbol stop at the time of disengagement elapses and the value of the soft timer becomes 0 by the timer subtraction processing, step b32 in the processing of task 2
In the determination process of, the time-up of the soft timer is detected. Next, the CPU 14 sets the value of the variable processing flag F1 to 4 (step b33), switches the value of the screen processing flag F2 to 4 (step b34), and ends the processing of task 2 in the current cycle.

In the processing of task 2, screen processing flag F
When the value of 2 is switched to 4, in the processing of task 3,
The CPU 14 has steps c1, c4, c6, c10, c19 and c2.
After 9 and step c52, the determination process of step c70 is determined to be true, and the value of the left display symbol storage register j2 is set in the intermediate stop symbol setting register CT (step c7).
1) Then, a determination process is performed as to whether or not the jackpot flag is set (step c72). In this case, the determination result is false, and the process of task 3 ends.

The CPU 14, which has completed the processing of task 3,
Display data / display command processing is executed, and for the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value of the screen number (screen number 2 in this case) set in the screen number designation register GM and the intermediate stop symbol setting register CT The set value, that is, the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2 is output.

As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the medium display symbol storage register j2 is stopped and displayed in the middle symbol display section 44 below the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display section 9.

Then, as a result of the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 being switched to 4, in the processing of task 2 in the next cycle, the CPU
14 is step b1, step b19, step b2
After 5 and step b31, the determination process of step b35 is determined to be true, the process proceeds to the determination process of step b36, and the determination process of whether the special flag is set is performed (step b36). The determination result is false, the process proceeds to step b40, the variable processing flag F1 is set to 0 for initialization (step b40), and the screen processing flag F2 is set to 0 for initialization (step b41).
The jackpot flag is cleared (step b42), the reach flag is cleared (step b43), and the processing of task 2 ends.

As a result of initializing both the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 and the value of the screen processing flag F2, the screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 becomes the game board screen (A), and the waiting state is started until the symbol fluctuation starts.

Next, the case where it is determined in step c13 that the reach flag is set will be described.

When the reach flag is set, the CPU 14 sets the game ball operation designation register PM to the game ball operation number 4, that is, the movement path of the game ball P indicated by the arrow d on the game board screen (B). Is set to a value of 3 (step c15), a predetermined time until the game board screen (B) is completely displayed is set in the switching timer (step c16), and then a predetermined time is set in the switching timer. A slightly long time is reset to the soft timer to extend the variation time for the middle symbol (step c17), and the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 5 (step c1).
8), the process of task 3 ends.

The value reset in the soft timer and the value set in the switching timer are synchronously subtracted by the timer subtraction process of step S5 in the main routine shown in FIG. Further, since the value set in the soft timer is slightly larger than the value set in the switching timer, the switching timer will time up before the soft timer.

The CPU 14, which has completed the processing of task 3,
Display data / display command processing is executed, and for the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value set in the right stop symbol setting register RT, that is, the right display symbol storage register j
The value of 1, the value of the screen number 2 as a display command, the game ball operation number 3 for designating the movement path of the game ball P indicated by the arrow d on the game board screen (B), and the symbol variation data regarding the middle symbol. Is output.

As a result, on the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display unit 9, the game ball P is moved and displayed along the moving path indicated by the arrow d, and the wing pieces 50 of the winning device 47 which are open-displayed. It is picked up by and is guided to the winning opening 52 to win the mouth 48a of the hippo 48, and at the same time, in the right symbol display portion 45 at the lower part of the game board screen (B) of the liquid crystal display portion 9, the right display symbol storage register j1 The symbol corresponding to the value is stopped and displayed. The middle symbols are variably displayed. In this case, it is a combination of symbol reach in which the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are the same, but whether the reach is a big hit or whether it is out of reach, depending on whether or not the big hit flag is set. To be identified.

The value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 remains 3, and the soft timer is reset to extend the fluctuation time relating to the middle symbols. As a result, in the processing of task 2 in the next period and thereafter, Until the soft timer times out, the creation of the symbol variation data regarding the medium symbols will be repeated at a predetermined processing cycle.

As a result of the value of the screen processing flag F2 being switched to 5, in the processing of task 3 in the next cycle, the CPU 14
After the determination of step c1, step c4 and step c10, the determination processing of step c19 is determined to be true, the process proceeds to step c19 ', and the display time of the game board screen (B) set in the switching timer is timed up. It is determined whether or not (step c19 '), and if the switching timer has not timed out, the CPU 14 ends the processing of task 3 in the current cycle. Hereinafter, the CPU 14 repeatedly executes the determination processes of step c1, step c4, step c6, step c10, step c19, and step c19 ′ until the switching timer times out, and when the switching timer times out, step c19 The determination process of '′ is determined to be true, the process proceeds to step c20, and the determination process of whether the big hit flag is set or not is performed (step c
20).

In the following description of step c20, the case where the big hit is achieved and the case where the reach is lost will be separately described.

First, the case where the big hit is achieved, that is, the case where the big hit flag is set will be described. As described above, since there are six patterns for winning the big hit, first, in the "special zone screen (A), all of the left, middle, and right symbols are stopped and displayed, and the left symbol that is stopped and displayed, The case where the big hit is achieved (hereinafter, referred to as the big hit establishment pattern 1) will be described by "the middle symbol and the right symbol are all the same."

In this case, since the big hit is established, the determination result of step c20 is true, and the CPU 14 determines whether or not the value of the random number WIN for setting the moving image stored in the fixed winning moving image random number storage register D1 is 0. Is determined (step c21).

In the case of the big hit winning pattern 1, the determination result of step c21 is true. The CPU 14 sets the screen number 3 in the screen number designation register GM and designates the next screen as the special zone screen (A) (step c2).
2) Then, the current value (any of 0 to 2) of the game ball operation setting random number X1 is set to the game ball operation designation register PM.
(Step c23), then set the display time of the special zone screen (A) to the switching timer (step c23a), and reset the display time of the special zone screen (A) set to the switching timer to the soft timer. Then (step c23b), the process of the task 3 ends.

The value reset to the soft timer and the value set to the switching timer are synchronously subtracted by the timer subtraction process of step S5 in the main routine shown in FIG. Also, since the value set in the soft timer and the value set in the switching timer are equal, the soft timer and the switching timer will time up in synchronization, but whether the soft timer has timed out or not Since the determination process is performed prior to the determination process of whether or not the switching timer has timed out, that is, the process of task 2 is performed before the process of task 3, the soft timer The time-up will be detected first.

The CPU 14, which has completed the processing of task 3,
Display data / display command processing is executed, and for the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, a value of screen number 3 as a display command and a game ball that specifies the movement path of the game ball P on the special zone screen (A).

Medium symbols are displayed in a variable manner. Further, on the special zone screen (A), the game ball P is moved and displayed along one of the moving paths indicated by the arrows a, b, and c. In addition, jackpot establishment pattern 1
In the case of, the moving image mode of the game ball P is not picked up by the wing piece 50 of the winning device 47 which is open-displayed and won in the winning opening 52, but at the time when the middle symbol is stopped and displayed. The combination of left, right, and middle symbols are all the same symbol and a big hit is established.

After that, in the processing of task 3, until the extended time until the middle symbol stops passes, the CPU 1
In step 4, the discrimination processing of step c1, step c4, step c6, step c10, step c19 and step c19 'is repeated based on the value 5 set in the screen processing flag F2.

Then, when the extension time until the stop of the middle symbol elapses and the value of the soft timer becomes 0 by the timer subtraction processing, as described above, in the processing of the task 2, the time up of the soft timer is step b32. By being detected by the determination process of 4, the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 is set to 4 (step b33), and the value of the screen processing flag F2 is switched to 4 (step b34).
In the processing of task 3, as a result of the value of the screen processing flag F2 being switched to 4, the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2 is set by the processing of step c71, the determination processing of step c72 is determined to be true, and then the special processing is performed. The flag is set (step c73), and the processing of task 3 ends.

Next, the CPU 14 executes display data / display command processing, and for the CPU 2 of the symbol display device 1, the value of the screen number (screen number 3 in this case) set in the screen number designation register GM. And, the value of the middle display symbol storage register j2 is output.

As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the intermediate display symbol storage register j2 is stopped and displayed in the intermediate symbol display portion 44 below the special zone screen (A) of the liquid crystal display portion 9, and the left, right, and intermediate symbols are displayed. The combination of all becomes the same symbol and becomes a big hit.

Here, the processing relating to the special game state executed in the task 2 when the big hit is established will be described.

The value of the variable processing flag F1 is set to 4 and the special flag is set. As a result, in the processing of the task 2 in the next period and thereafter, the CPU 14 executes the step b1.
After the determinations of step b19, step b25, and step b31, the determination process of step b35 is determined to be true, the process proceeds to the determination process of step b36, and the determination process of whether the special flag is set is performed (step b36). ,
The determination result becomes true, and a special winning opening opening / closing process for giving a special profit to the player is executed (step b3).
7). In step b38, the CPU 14 determines whether or not the special winning opening opening / closing processing has ended. If the special winning opening opening / closing processing has not ended, the processing of task 2 this time is ended.
In addition, as a result of the value of the fluctuation processing flag F1 being 4 and the special flag being set, the special winning opening opening / closing processing of step b37 is executed in and after the next cycle. Step b

The same and the out-of-reach of the combination in which the middle symbol is different from the left and right symbols is determined. Heretofore, the processing in the case of the out-of-reach has been described.

As described above, after the fluctuation of the symbol is started, the symbols are stopped in the order of the left symbol, the right symbol, and the middle symbol, and it is visually recognized whether or not it is a big hit. From the above, it is visually recognized as a story relating to whether each display screen displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 9 and the moving image mode of the game ball P displayed as a moving image on each display screen is a big hit or a big hit.

With the start of the variation of the symbols, the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched from the game board screen (A) to the game board screen (B), and the left symbol is stopped on the game board screen (B). At this time, when the game ball P as a moving image enters the open chucker 51, the moving image is displayed so that the wing pieces 50 of the winning device 47 are opened, and the winning opening 52 is opened. Then
The game ball P is displayed as a moving image again, and at the same time when the moving image display of the game ball P ends, the right symbol is stopped. At this time, if the game ball P does not win the winning opening 52, the left symbol and the right symbol do not match and become out of alignment. Game ball P in the prize hole 52
When the player wins, the game ball P enters the mouth 48a of the hippo 48,
At the same time, the left and right symbols become the same, and the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 9 is switched to the special zone screen (A) or (B).

From the player's side, the special zone screen (A) and the special zone screen (B) are exactly the same in appearance, so it is not known which screen is selected and displayed. On the special zone screen,
When the game ball P is displayed as a moving image, and the game ball P displayed as a moving image does not win the ball receiving port 53, in most cases it will be missed, but in some cases it will be a big hit, and the middle symbol is the game ball P.
Will stop at the same time as the end of the movie display.

In the special zone screen, when the game ball P displayed as a moving image wins the ball socket 53, the display screen of the liquid crystal display section 9 is switched to the four hole winning screen (A) or (B). The variable display of middle symbols is continued. From the player's side, the four-hole winning screen (A) and the four-hole winning screen (B) are exactly the same in appearance, so it is not known which screen is selectively displayed.

In the embodiment, in the special zone screen, when the game ball P wins the ball receiving port 53, the game ball P is explained as one, but two or more game balls P are received in the ball receiving port 53. When a moving image is displayed so that the player wins a prize and then the screen is switched to the four hole winning screen, as shown in the four hole winning screen (C) of FIG. A moving image may be displayed in the state.

Further, in the above description, the moving image controlled portion is only the game ball P, but the circular spherical convex member 56 displayed on the four hole winning screen described above is replaced by the spherical convex member 56. A moving image may be displayed so as to rotate around an axis extending in the vertical direction passing through the center point, and in this case, the rotation speed may be stepwise switched and displayed according to the values of a plurality of flags or registers. As described above, when the moving image control is performed in a composite manner using a plurality of types of parameters, it is possible to further finely set the moving image switching mode.

Therefore, it is possible to give a special profit based on the switching result of the moving images branched in detail, and it is possible to increase the expectation for the special profit and to design a new idea. It can be given to a pachinko game machine with a display device.

On the four hole winning screen, the game ball P is displayed as a moving image, and when the game ball P displayed as a moving image falls into the removal hole 57 or the removal hole 58, the middle symbol is stopped and removed at the same time. Further, in the four hole winning screen, when the game ball P displayed as a moving image falls into the V winning hole 59, the middle symbols are stopped at the same time, and the left, right, and middle symbols are all coincident and a big hit.

On the four hole winning screen, when the game ball P displayed as a moving image falls into the chance hole 60, the liquid crystal display section 9
The display screen of is switched to any of the three hole winning screens (A), (B), (C) and (D), and the variable display of the middle symbols is continued. From the player side, the three hole winning screens (A), (B), (C) and (D) are exactly the same in appearance, so it is not known which screen is selectively displayed.

On the three-hole winning screen, the game ball P is displayed as a moving image, and at the same time when the moving image display of the game ball P ends, the middle symbol is stopped. At this time, the game ball P displayed as a moving image
However, when it falls into the left deviation hole 65 or the right deviation hole 66, the middle symbol becomes inconsistent with the left and right symbols, and it becomes out. In addition, when the game ball P displayed as a video falls into the V winning hole 64,
The left, right, and middle patterns all match and become a big hit.

Further, the judgment of whether or not a big hit for the fluctuation stop of the symbol is determined by the value of the big hit judgment random number V, but in the case of a big hit, the setting of which display screen to confirm the big hit is The story up to the big hit display is set by the value of the random number WIN for setting the hit moving image. Further, in the case of being out of position, in particular, in the case of being out of position in the symbol reach, the story until being out of position in the symbol reach is set by the value of the random number OUT for out of reach moving image setting.

In the case of the embodiment, the appearance probability of each story set at the time of big hit and each story set at the time of out-of-range is the value of the random number WIN for winning moving image setting and the value of the out-of-reach moving image setting random number OUT. Since there is a one-to-one correspondence between the big hit story and the out-of-range story set with respect to each of the stories, each story is equal, but the value of the random number WIN for winning moving image setting and the value of the random number OUT for out-of-reach moving image setting are It is conceivable to arbitrarily set the appearance probability of each story by expanding the range that can be taken so as to correspond to a specific story when the value of the random number is within the specific range.

According to the pachinko gaming machine with the symbol display device of the present invention, the player determines whether or not the special gaming state in which a special profit is given to the player, that is, whether or not the jackpot is established.
Not only can it be determined whether or not the combination of symbols to be variably stopped coincides with a predetermined symbol combination, but also the story development expressed by the switching mode of the display screen in the symbol display device 1 and the moving image mode on the display screen. Since it can be determined by the above, a new taste can be provided to the player in the process until the big hit is established, and a new expectation for the big hit can be provided to the player.

[0280]

According to the pachinko gaming machine with the symbol display device of the present invention, the player gives a special profit to the player in a special game state, that is, whether or not the jackpot is established. Since it can be determined by the story development expressed by the switching mode of the display screen on the display device and the moving image mode on the display screen, a new taste can be provided to the player in the process until the big hit is established,
It is possible to provide a player with a new sense of expectation for the establishment of a big hit.

Regarding the screen and the moving image mode which are switched and displayed on the display screen of the symbol display device, the random value discrimination means discriminates the value of the random number value, and based on the discrimination result of the random value discrimination means,
Since the moving picture mode selecting means is determined by selecting a moving picture mode to be switched from among a plurality of preset moving picture modes, the story development that is a big hit and the story development that is out of order are randomly generated by the value of the random number. Not only can it be set, but various story developments can be expressed. Further, the moving image switching setting can be arbitrarily set according to a predetermined appearance probability.

Since the moving image displayed on the display screen of the symbol display device imitates the rolling state of the game ball on the game board surface and the dropping state of the game ball into the winning opening, the variation of the symbol is stopped. A new taste that can not be enjoyed just by determining whether the combination matches the predetermined combination of symbols is realized by the symbol display device during the game, the identification of the hit or miss, the game ball as a movie is won It can be determined by whether it has fallen into the mouth.

The symbol display device, in accordance with the moving image selected by the moving image selection means provided in the moving image display switching means,
Since it is provided with a designation means for designating a movie number, coordinate position, color, moving direction and amount of movement as each information relating to the moving image, a priority order and a display period regarding overlapping display of the moving image portion and another portion, display The patterns and videos displayed on the screen can be extremely diversely expressed.
