Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate a visual distinction between first and second variations, and improve interest in the second variation by setting the second variation in a variation period in which discriminating information can be visually confirmed not less than two times the first variation, and controlling it by the second variation when a display result is judged as a special display mode. SOLUTION: In a special variable display device 30 to variably display discriminating information by a character image display part 60 in the almost center of a game area 3, when a display result is judged as a special display mode, the discriminating information is controlled by a sliding variation (a second variation). This special variable display device 30 performs the sliding variation whose variation is more than an ordinary variation (a first variation) as the anticipative existence of a special display mode. The second variation in a variation period in which a picture pattern can be visually confirmed in such a sliding variation, is set in at least two times the first variation in a variation period in which the picture pattern can be visually confirmed in the ordinary variation. As a result, a visual distinction between the ordinary and sliding variations can be easily performed.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball game machine equipped with a variable display device for variably displaying identification information on a plurality of variable display sections under the control of display control means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a variable display device provided in a pachinko game machine as a ball game machine variably displays identification information (design) on a plurality of rows of variable display units, and display results of each variable display unit. When a predetermined display result (big hit symbol) is reached, a specific game state is generated to give a specific game value to the player. When the reach is reached in the variation of such a symbol, one of the variation modes of the reach is selected and executed to excite the interest of the game. Further, in such a variable display device, the present applicant has previously disclosed Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-218091 (hereinafter referred to as prior art).
If the design reaches or hits big in the official gazette, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by performing sliding variation control with a larger variation amount than usual for the design of the variable display unit that can determine the reach on the display. Proposed.

[0003]

However, in the prior art of the sliding fluctuation control for notifying the reach or the big hit as described above, the extended fluctuation amount of the sliding fluctuation with respect to the normal fluctuation is set to one pattern at the minimum. Therefore, when the minimum amount of 1 to 3 symbols is selected as the extension variation amount, it is difficult to distinguish the slip variation from the normal variation, or the slip variation is visually recognized more effectively than the normal variation. However, there is a problem that the interest of the slip change is halved. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to set a large amount of extension variation of sliding variation with respect to normal variation.
An object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine in which the normal variation and the slip variation can be easily visually distinguished, and by which the interest of the slip variation can be improved.

[0004]

The display control means determines a display result determining means for determining the display result before deriving the display result by the variable display section and a display result determined by the display result determining means in advance. Determination means for determining whether or not it is a special display mode, and a normal first variation or the first variation with respect to the identification information of the variable display section of the plurality of variable display sections except at least the variable display section of the final stop. A fluctuation amount control means for controlling by a second fluctuation having a larger fluctuation amount than one fluctuation,
The variation amount control means sets the second variation amount in the variation period in which the identification information is visible in the second variation to be at least twice as large as the first variation amount in the variation period in which the identification information is visible in the first variation. In addition, when the determination unit determines that the display result is the special display mode, the identification information is controlled by the second fluctuation, so that the second fluctuation (sliding fluctuation) is notified in advance of the special display mode or predictive fluctuation control. Can be
Furthermore, since the extended variation amount of the sliding variation with respect to the first variation (normal variation) is set to a large extent, the normal variation and the sliding variation can be easily visually distinguished, and the interest of the sliding variation is improved.

In addition, the special display mode is a display mode including at least a reach state, and the fluctuation amount control means sets the fluctuation amount of the variable display unit which can determine the reach among the plurality of variable display units. The configuration in which the control is performed by the second fluctuation is advantageous in that the sliding fluctuation can be implemented more effectively.

Further, the variable display device comprises an image display device which variably displays the identification information based on image data, and the display control means enables image data control means for skipping the identification information. It is advantageous in that the capacity of the control program for variably displaying the identification information can be reduced by including.

6 through FIG. 6 through FIG.
Explanation will be given with reference to the time chart and the explanatory diagram shown in FIG.
I will tell. First, the special variable display device 30 is used for the changing operation.
The random number generated will be described. Special variable display
30 uses 5 kinds of random numbers as shown in FIG.
These random numbers are the W
CRND1 and for left symbol display and big hit display
WCRND L and WCRND for displaying middle symbols C and right
WCRND for symbol display R and W to specify reach operation
CRND It is composed of ACT and. Also, WC
RND1 has 225 different numerical values of "0 to 224" as 0.
It changes every moment by adding 1 every 002 seconds
And WCRND L is “0-14” in 15 ways

By adding each, it changes every moment. What
The above WCRND1 and WCRND L ・ C ・ R
The above constitutes a display result determining means of the present invention.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7, WCRND1
If the value extracted from is “3” and it is determined to be a big hit, WCRND The big hit symbol is determined by the data of L (0 to 14), and this big hit symbol is the special variable display device 3
0 is displayed on the LCD display 33. On the other hand, WCRND
If a value other than "3" is extracted in 1 and it is determined to be out,
WCRND The symbol corresponding to each extracted value from L, C, and R is displayed on the LCD display 33 of the special variable display device 30 as a symbol. Note that WCRND If each extracted value from L, C, R coincides with the big hit symbol,
WCRND "1" is added to the R data to display it as a deviating pattern. In such a hit-and-miss determination, when the probability changes (when the probability is high), WCRND
The value of "3, 7, 67, 77, 173" in 1 is the random number for determining the big hit.

The variation of the special symbol is shown in the time charts of FIGS. 12 and 13. The variation of each of the left, middle, and right symbol strings is performed based on the pattern shown in the list diagram of FIG. The variation pattern A is a pattern that varies at a constant speed (1 symbol variation in 16.7 ms),
The fluctuation pattern B is a pattern that gradually decelerates and stops, the fluctuation pattern C is a pattern that gradually decelerates, and the fluctuation pattern D fluctuates at a constant speed (333.3).
1 symbol fluctuation in ms, 1 cycle 5.000 seconds) is a pattern, fluctuation pattern E is a pattern that gradually decelerates and stops (1 symbol fluctuation), and fluctuation pattern G is decelerated after a constant speed. It is a pattern to stop. In addition, FIG.
And the conditions 1 to 3 described in each time chart of FIG.
And * 1 to 4 are shown in each list of FIGS. 9 to 11. In addition, * 4 is a selection condition of each reach 1 to 3 described later, and each condition 1 to 3 and the WCRND AC
Based on the extracted value of T, it is determined for each loss and big hit. In addition, the sliding variation (also referred to as sliding) shown below is a special variation with respect to a symbol other than the final stop symbol, and the second variation having a large variation amount as compared with the normal symbol variation (first variation). It means that the pattern is variably controlled.

First, in FIG. 12, when a hit ball is won in the ordinary variable winning ball device 5 and the starting ball detector 8 derives a starting signal, a numerical value is extracted from WCRND1 at the rising of the starting signal and stored. To do. After that, 0.002 seconds after the rising of the start signal, WCRND L
C / R and WCRND A numerical value is extracted from ACT, and the stored WCRND1 is read and determined.
Then, 0.004 seconds after the rising of the start signal,
All the left, middle, and right symbol strings are changed by changing pattern A. After that, the left symbol row is changed in the changing pattern A for 6.260 seconds, and then three symbols before the stop symbol are set regardless of the changing symbol position. Such control is called skip control. Then, it is changed in the change pattern B for 0.420 seconds and stopped. Regarding the right symbol row, if there is no sliding fluctuation, after being changed in the fluctuation pattern A for 6.680 seconds, the 3 symbols before the stop symbol is set to 0.4.
In the fluctuation pattern B for 20 seconds, three patterns are changed and stopped. Also, if there is slip, after changing in the fluctuation pattern A for 6.680 seconds, 7 to 15 symbols before the stop symbol is set and 0.95 to 2.100 seconds in the fluctuation pattern B 7 to 15 It stops after being changed by one of the symbols. Also, if there is slippage due to temporary stop, 6.6
After fluctuating in the fluctuation pattern A for 80 seconds, 7 to 15 symbols before the stop symbol are set and stopped for 0.480 seconds, and then the fluctuation pattern G for 0.980 to 2.100 seconds.
Is changed and stopped. In the variation pattern A of each of the left and right symbols, in the case of * 2, that is, when there are three or more memories due to the winning of the starting mouth, the variation time is 4.760 seconds and 5.180 seconds, respectively. Shortened.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, the middle pattern is changed in the variation pattern A for 7.100 seconds and then changed in the variation pattern B for 0.850 seconds and is stopped and displayed, except for the reach. It In addition, the medium pattern in reach 1 is 0.4 after the fluctuation of 7.100 seconds in fluctuation pattern A.
20 second fluctuation pattern C and 5.664 to 10.34
Fluctuated in a fluctuation pattern D of 0 seconds, and thereafter 1.18
The display is stopped after being changed in the change pattern E for 4 seconds. The middle symbol in Reach 2 is 7.1 in the variation pattern A.
After a fluctuation of 00 seconds, it is fluctuated with a fluctuation pattern C of 0.420 seconds and a fluctuation pattern D of 10.340 seconds, followed by a stop for 0.400 seconds and a 1 for 0.200 seconds.
Frame feed fluctuation consisting of pattern fluctuation is 0.600 to 9.0
It is stopped and displayed for 00 seconds (variation of any one of the symbols 1 to 15). The medium pattern in reach 3 is changed in the change pattern A for 7.100 seconds, then changed in a change pattern C of 0.420 seconds and a change pattern D of 10.340 seconds, and then once 0.400 seconds. After being stopped, it is changed in the change pattern A for 0.167 to 2.505 seconds and is stopped and displayed. In addition, in the variation pattern A of the medium symbols other than the above reach and reach 1 to 3, the variation time is shortened to 5.690 seconds when * 2, and the variation time is reduced to 7.940 seconds when * 3. It

As described above, in the special variable display device 30 of the present embodiment, after the fluctuation pattern A which is the high speed rotation control of the constant speed described above with respect to the right symbol, the fluctuation pattern is made different to thereby cause the slip fluctuation Presence or absence is set. Specifically, in the case of no sliding, immediately before the end of the variation pattern A, the three symbols before the stop symbol are set and the variation pattern B is entered. On the other hand, if there is a normal slip,
Immediately after the end of the variation pattern A, the 7 to 15 symbols before the stop symbol are set and the variation pattern B is entered. Further, if there is slippage due to a temporary stop, it is temporarily stopped immediately after the end of the variation pattern A, and then 7 to 15 symbols before the stop symbol are set to shift to the variation pattern G. The variation pattern A is a variation pattern in which the design (identification information) cannot be visually recognized due to the high speed rotation. That is, in the variation period in which the symbols after the variation pattern A can be visually recognized, in the case of no slip, the three symbols (first variation amount) are varied and stopped, but in the normal case and the case of slip after the suspension, respectively. 7-
Fifteen symbols (second variation amount) are varied and stopped. Therefore, in the sliding fluctuation (second fluctuation) control according to the present embodiment, the extension fluctuation amount for the normal fluctuation (first fluctuation) control is set significantly, so that the normal fluctuation and the sliding fluctuation can be visually distinguished. It is easy to do and, in turn, enhances the interest of slip change.

In the present embodiment, the right pattern is subjected to fluctuation control with the fluctuation pattern A and then with the fluctuation pattern B or the fluctuation pattern G, but the invention is not particularly limited to this structure. Further, the extension variation amount of the sliding variation control with respect to the normal variation control is not limited to that described in the present embodiment, and the second variation amount of the variation period in which the symbol can be visually recognized in the sliding variation is the symbol in the regular variation. May be set to be at least twice the first fluctuation amount of the fluctuation period that can be visually recognized.

By the way, as described above, in this embodiment,
The sliding variation of the symbol can be implemented only for the right symbol, but the invention is not limited to this, and the control for performing the sliding variation for the left symbol may be performed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 14, when a hit ball is won in the normal variable winning ball device 5 and the starting ball detector 8 derives a starting signal, a numerical value is extracted from WCRND1 at the rising of the starting signal. To store. After that, 0.002 seconds after the rising of the start signal, WCRND LCR and WCRND ACT
A numerical value is extracted from the data, and the stored WCRND1 is read and determined. Then, 0.004 seconds after the rise of the start signal, all the left, middle, and right symbol rows are changed by the change pattern A (in FIG. 14, only the left symbol is described). After that, if there is no slip in the left symbol row, after fluctuating in the fluctuation pattern A for 6.260 seconds,
The three symbols before the stop symbol are set and are changed in the variation pattern B for 0.420 seconds and stopped. In addition, if there is slip, after being changed in the change pattern A for 6.260 seconds, 7 to 15 symbols before the stop symbol are set to 0.9.
In the variation pattern B for 80 to 2.100 seconds, any of the 7 to 15 symbols is changed and stopped. In addition, if there is slippage in the temporary stop, after 7 to 15 symbols before the stop symbol are set after being changed by the variation pattern A for 6.260 seconds, the symbol is stopped for 0.480 seconds, and then 0.980 to
2. The pattern is changed for any of 7 to 15 in the change pattern G for 100 seconds and stopped. Further, the variation control of each of the middle and right symbols in contrast to the sliding variation control of such a left symbol can be applied by various combinations of the controls shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. Specifically, the sliding variation control may be performed on both the left and right symbols, or the sliding variation control may be performed on only one of the left and right symbols. In addition, in the present embodiment, the identification information is composed of the left, middle, and right three symbols, and the left symbol, the right symbol, and the middle symbol are stopped and displayed in this order, so the final stop symbol (middle symbol) ) Except for the left and right symbols are subject to sliding fluctuation control, but the number of symbols and the stopping order are not particularly limited, and at least the symbols other than the final stopping symbol are subject to sliding. Anything that performs fluctuation control may be used.

Next, a specific symbol variation image displayed on the character image display section 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 18. In this embodiment, the character image displayed on the character image display unit 60 is based on this by adopting "car racing" as the game concept. That is, as shown in FIG. 15 (A), while the racing car 61 is a character image for the player, 3 is displayed in front of the racing car 61.
The racing cars 62 to 64 are character images of the other party, and the four racing cars 61 to 64 are displayed on the display screen as if a car race is being performed. In addition, on the racing cars 62 to 64, the left, middle, and right special symbol display portions (variable display portions) 62 are respectively displayed.
a, 63a, 64a are provided, and in these special symbol display portions 62a, 63a, 64a, left, middle, and
Each special symbol on the right is variably displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 15B, each special symbol display portion 6
While symbols are changing in 2a, 63a, 64a,
First, the racing car 61 hits the racing car 62 on the left side. As a result, the fluctuation of the left special symbol display portion 62a is stopped, and the left symbol whose fluctuation is stopped is displayed as the left confirmed symbol 62b on the upper left side of the display screen (see FIG. 15C). After that, in the same way, the racing car 61 will be on the right and middle racing cars 64.6.
By hitting 3 in sequence, each symbol in the right / middle is confirmed in the upper right and center of the display screen.
Displayed as 63b (see FIG. 16A). Note that FIG. 16A is a display image when the disconnection is confirmed without reaching.

Next, the display of the character image in each reach variation with or without the slip variation of the right pattern will be described. First, in the case where there is no sliding fluctuation of the right pattern, FIG. 16 (B)
As shown in FIG. 5, while performing the same symbol fluctuations as in the case of not reaching, the display symbol of the right special symbol display portion 64a has already been fixed at the time when the racing car 61 hits the right racing car 64. When it is the same as the fixed symbol 62b, the left and right fixed symbols 62b and 64b are the same and reach. On the other hand, in the case where there is a slip variation of the right symbol, as shown in FIG. 17A, when the racing car 61 hits the right racing car 64 after the confirmation of the left confirmed symbol 62b, The sliding change of the right symbol is started on the right special symbol display portion 64a,
After a predetermined time, the right special symbol display portion 64a displays the left confirmed symbol 62
Reach by stopping with the same design as b (Fig. 17)
(B)). After that, regardless of whether or not there is a sliding change in the right design described above, the racing car 61 is in the center in the reach state in which the left and right definite designs 62b and 64b as shown in FIG. 17C are aligned in the same design. When the player hits the racing car 63 and the middle special symbol display portion 63a is stopped with the same symbols as the fixed symbols 62b and 64b, a "big hit" character 65 is displayed as shown in FIG. The jackpot is confirmed.

Next, the sliding change control of the above right symbol will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 19, first, WCRND1 and WCRND L ・ C ・
R and WCRND When ACT is extracted (S1),
Next, it is determined whether or not the extracted value of WCRND1 is a big hit value (S2). If the value of WCRND1 is a big hit value in S2, then the WCRND extracted in S1 above It is determined whether the value of ACT is a multiple of 4 (S3), and WCRND
When the value of ACT is not a multiple of 4, the sliding variation flag is set (S4), the voice / display notification flag for sliding variation is set (S5), and the process proceeds to S6. On the other hand, in S3 WCRND When the ACT value is a multiple of 4, the process directly goes to S6. Then, the condition and WCRND described above in S6 The reach flag corresponding to the value of ACT is set, and then the WCRND extracted in S1 is set. L
The symbol variation is executed so that the symbol is stopped and displayed at the big hit display position according to the value of (S7).

On the other hand, the value of WCRND1 is correct in S2.
If it is not an outlier, then WCRND L value and WCRND
Whether or not the value of R is the same, that is, the presence or absence of reach is determined.

On the other hand, in S9 WCRND The value of ACT is not a multiple of 16.
If not, the process directly goes to S16.

In step S8, WCRND L value and W
CRND If it is determined that the value of R is the same and there is reach, then WCRND It is determined whether or not the ACT value is a multiple of 4 (S12), and WCRND When the value of ACT is not a multiple of 4, the sliding fluctuation flag is set (S13), the voice / display notification flag for sliding fluctuation is set (S14), and the process proceeds to S15.
On the other hand, in S12, WCRND When the value of ACT is a multiple of 4, the process directly goes to S15. Then, in S15, the condition and WCRND The reach flag corresponding to the value of ACT is set, and then WCRND extracted in S1 The symbol variation is executed so that the symbol is stopped and displayed at the lost display position corresponding to the values of L, C, and R (S16).

Then, with respect to the sliding variation control of the right symbol, the ratio of presence or absence of the reach is set by the determination of the reach as the reach state with the special display mode accompanying the symbol variation as shown in FIG. In FIG. 20, the unit is the number of fluctuations of the symbol, and the number of fluctuations without reach and the number of fluctuations with reach when performing 100 symbol fluctuation motions are described for each presence or absence of sliding fluctuations. are doing. Specifically, first, as the ratio of presence / absence of reach, considering the number of 15 symbols in each symbol row, the number of fluctuations without reach is (14/15) × 100≈93 times (= A
The number of fluctuations (including a big hit) with reach is (1/15) × 100≈7 times (= B times). Therefore, the number of fluctuations with slip and no reach is shown in FIG.
WCRND in the determination of S9 ACT extraction rate is 6
Considering that / 100, (6/100) × A≈
Six times. Similarly, the number of fluctuations without slip and no reach is (94/100) × A≈88 times. On the other hand, the number of fluctuations with slip and reach is shown in FIG.
WCRND in each determination of S3 and S12 ACT
In consideration of the extraction rate of 75/100, (75
/ 100) × B≈5 times, and the number of fluctuations with reach without slip is (25/100) × B≈2 times. That is, as can be seen from the list chart of FIG. 20, the variation ratios of reachless and reachable are 14: 1 (93 times without reach described in FIG. It is set to 7 times with reach and the ratio is slightly different because it is rounded off to the nearest whole number, and the breakdown is 44: 1 without reach and 44% with reach. On the other hand, in the case of slippage, the variation ratios of no reach and reach are set to 6: 5.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the sliding fluctuation control is performed, the reach display is performed with a probability of approximately 50%, so that the player is likely to reach when the sliding fluctuation appears. To give. By the way, the conventional sliding fluctuation control is accompanied by 10
There was a 0% chance of displaying reach. For this reason, in the past, the slip variation has become a reach predictive existence, and the interest of the game has been halved. On the other hand, since the sliding variation control of the present embodiment is a reach predictive existence that it is likely to reach compared with the normal symbol variation control, the expectation and tension for sliding variation are more than conventional. It is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game by increasing. Further, in the sliding fluctuation control, when the control accompanied by the temporary stop shown in FIG. 12 or FIG. 14 is performed, the feeling of tension with respect to the sliding fluctuation which is a predictive reach is further improved. Further, in this embodiment, the variable display device is composed of the LCD display 33 as the image display device, and the identification information in the sliding change control shown in FIG. 12 or FIG. 14 by the basic circuit 42 as the image data control means. Since it is possible to skip the (pattern), the capacity of the control program for variably displaying the identification information can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the special display mode according to the present invention is set to the reach state so that the reach is likely to occur when the slip variation (the variation in the second variation amount) appears. It is not limited to. For example,
By setting the special display mode to the specific display result (big hit pattern), it may be set to easily hit the big hit when the reach is caused by the sliding change. Explaining the sliding fluctuation control in this case,
First, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 21, the WCRN
D1, WCRND L / C / R and WCRND AC
When T is extracted (S21), the next WCRND extracted
It is determined whether or not the value of 1 is the big hit value (S22). S22
If the value of WCRND1 is a big hit value, then S2
WCRND extracted in 1 It is determined whether or not the ACT value is a multiple of 4 (S23), and WCRND When the value of ACT is not a multiple of 4, the sliding change flag is set (S24), the voice / display notification flag for the sliding change is set (S25), and the process proceeds to S26. On the other hand, in S23, WCRND When the value of ACT is a multiple of 4, the process directly goes to S26. Then, the condition and WCRND described above in S26 The reach flag corresponding to the value of ACT is set, and then the WCRND extracted in S21 is set.
The symbol variation is executed so that the symbol is stopped and displayed at the big hit display position according to the value of L (S27).

On the other hand, if the value of WCRND1 is not the big hit value in S22, then next WCRND L value and WCR
ND It is determined whether or not the value of R is the same, that is, the presence or absence of reach (S28). WCRND in S28 L value and WCRND When it is determined that the value of R is not the same and there is no reach, the process directly proceeds to S33 described later. On the other hand, WCRND L value and WCRND If the value of R is the same and it is determined that there is a reach, then WCRN
D It is determined whether or not the ACT value is a multiple of 4 (S2

1) and shifts to S32. Also, in S29, WCRND
If the ACT value is not a multiple of 4, the process directly goes to S32. Then, in S32, the condition and WCRND The reach flag corresponding to the value of ACT is set, and then WCRND extracted in S21 The symbol variation is executed so that the symbol is stopped and displayed at the lost display position according to the values of L, C, and R (S33).

In the above-described slip variation control shown in FIG. 21, the hit / miss ratio after reach as shown in FIG. 22 is set. In FIG. 22, the unit is the number of times of reaching the symbol, and the hit / miss in the case of reaching 100 times is described for each presence or absence of slip variation. Specifically, first, as the hit / miss ratio after reach, considering the number of 15 symbols in each symbol row, the number of times after the reach is released is (14/15) × 100≈93 times (= A
The number of hits after reach is (1/15) x 10
It becomes 0≈7 times (= B times). Therefore, the number of deviations after reaching with slip is determined by the WCRND in the determination of S29 of FIG. ACT extraction rate is 25/100
Considering that, (25/100) × A≈23 times. Similarly, the number of detachments after reaching reach without sliding is (75/100) × A≈70 times.
On the other hand, the number of hits after reaching with slip is WCRND in the determination of S23 of FIG. Considering that the extraction rate of ACT is 75/100, (75 /
100) × B≈5 times, and the number of hits after reaching without slipping is (25/100) × B≈2 times. That is, as can be seen from the list chart of FIG. 22, the ratio of the deviation and the hit after the reach when viewed as a total is 14: 1 (93 times of the deviation and the hit shown in FIG. 22 regardless of the presence or absence of the slip). 7 times, the ratio is set slightly different due to rounding calculation after the decimal point), and the breakdown is that after slipping without reach, each ratio of outliers and hits is set to 35: 1. On the other hand, in the case of slippage, the ratio of the detachment and the hit after the reach is 23: 5.
Is set to Therefore, when the slip variation control is performed and the reach is reached, the jackpot is a big hit with a probability of nearly 20%, and thus this slip variation can be set in a big hit predictive manner.

Next, the normal symbols displayed on the normal symbol display 34 will be described. As shown in FIG. 23, the normal symbols are six types of "0, 2, 4, 6, 8, F", and one cycle (0.240 seconds) with the display time of one symbol being 0.040 seconds. Is displayed in a variable manner. Further, for these ordinary symbols, as shown in FIG. 24, WCRND2 (3 to
13), and W for normal symbol display, which is incremented by 1 every 0.002 seconds and is incremented by 1 in the interrupt processing remainder time
CRND F (0 to 5) are provided. WCR
ND As shown in FIG. 25, each random number of F (0 to 5) is provided corresponding to each ordinary symbol of "0, 2, 4, 6, 8, F". Also, WCRND2 (3 to 13)
In the extraction of the random number from, as shown in FIG. 26, when the value of “3” is extracted and it is determined that the hit, WCRND is normally displayed on the symbol display 34. Ordinary variable winning ball device 5 displaying the winning symbol of "F" corresponding to "5" of F data
Is opened for a predetermined time (the winning opening is expanded). On the other hand, WCRN
If a value other than “3” is extracted in D2 and it is determined that the value is out, WCRND The value of the F data is extracted, and the deviation symbol corresponding to this value is displayed on the normal symbol indicator 34. In addition,
Despite being determined to be off by WCRN2, WCRN
D If the value extracted in F happens to be a winning symbol, the deviating symbol "0" is selected and displayed on the normal symbol display 34. Further, the determination of the extracted data from the WCRND2 is a case where the hit probability is normal, and at the time of a probability change (at the time of high probability) similar to the special symbol,
While the value extracted from CRND2 is determined to be a hit with any value of "3 to 12", it is determined to be out of value with a value of "13" other than that.

Next, the changing operation of the normal symbol on the above-mentioned normal symbol display 34 will be described based on the time charts of FIGS. 27 to 29. First, in FIG. 27, the passing ball detector 15 (described as a starting ball detector in FIG. 27) is turned on.
Then, at the same time, WCRND2 and WCRND F
Is extracted and stored. After that, the passing ball detector 15
When a predetermined time (0.002 seconds) elapses from ON of, the stored WCRND2 is read and determined, and after 0.002 seconds, the fluctuation of the normal symbol is started. And
A predetermined time (29.500
After 2 seconds) the fluctuation stops. In addition, in the probability variation which is the condition 1 shown in FIG. 27, the variation time of the normal symbol is 5.000.
If the starting memory of the normal symbol is 3 or more at the time of probability variation which is the condition 2 shown in FIG. 27, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is shortened to 2.000 seconds. Then, in the normal time (at the time of low probability), when the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed is a winning symbol, as shown in FIG. 28 (A), a predetermined time (0.500 seconds) after the normal symbol is stopped.
After that, the normal variable winning ball device 5 is opened for 0.500 seconds.
After that, when there is a passing memory to the passing ball detector 15, the stored WCRND2 is read out and judged 0.002 seconds after the normal variable winning ball device 5 is closed,
After that 0.002 seconds, the fluctuation of the normal pattern is started again.
The opening operation of the normal variable winning ball device 5 at this time is 0.500 seconds, but if one winning ball is inserted, the opening is finished at that time even if the time is not reached. Further, when the probability symbol changes (when the probability is high) and the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed is a winning symbol, as shown in FIG. 28B, a predetermined time (0.500 seconds) after the normal symbol stops.
When the time elapses, the normal variable winning ball device 5 is opened for 2.900 seconds, and after an interval of 2.000 seconds, it is opened again for 2.900 seconds. After that, when there is a passing memory to the passing ball detector 15, the stored WCRND2 is read out and judged 0.002 seconds after the normal variable winning ball device 5 is closed, and again after 0.002 seconds, it is returned to normal. Start changing the design. On the other hand, when there is a passing memory to the passing ball detector 15 after the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed becomes a detached symbol, as shown in FIG. 29, the normal symbol stops for a predetermined time (1.002). WCRN stored later
D2 is read and judged, and 0.002 seconds later, the fluctuation of the normal symbol is started again.

Next, the probability fluctuations of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol will be explained. As shown in FIG. 30, "1" is displayed on the special variable display device 30 at the time of a big hit (when the condition device is activated).
When the Zoro eyes of the same symbol out of "3", "5", "7", and "9" (the jackpot symbol and the probability variation symbol) are stopped and displayed and the jackpot game state is entered, then the probability changes unconditionally. It is repeated a predetermined number of times (twice in FIG. 30). This probability change is changed to a high probability after the end of the specific game state (big hit game state) with the probability variation pattern, and then returned to the normal probability with the occurrence of the specific game state other than the probability variation pattern. . Further, when a big hit again with a probability variation pattern at the time of probability variation, the probability variation is repeated a predetermined number of times (twice) from that point on. The control of the probability variation is not limited to the control described in the present embodiment, and for example, only one of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol may be subjected to the probability variation control.

As described above, the special variable display device 30 according to the present embodiment is a normal symbol variation control (first variation amount) when the sliding variation control of the symbol (variation control at the second variation amount) is performed. The variation rate of the special display mode such as reach is improved as compared with the variation control), and the sliding variation control is set as a predictive existence for deriving the special display mode. For this reason, the sense of expectation and the sense of tension with respect to the sliding change are increased as compared with the conventional case (which gives a notice of derivation of the special display mode), and the interest of the game can be improved. In the present embodiment, after the big hit symbols are stopped and displayed as shown in FIG. 18, the symbols are not changed again. However, it is possible to temporarily change the symbols after temporarily stopping the big hit symbols. The player may be given a jackpot chance in the symbol again. In this case, in addition to the configuration of this embodiment, the WCRND for temporary stop display shown in FIG. K is provided. And this WCR
ND A jackpot pattern of temporary stop according to the extracted value of K (Fig. 32
(Fig. 33A) after the big hit occurrence is notified by temporarily displaying (see), as shown in Fig. 33A.
Change 3b and 64b again. After that, the WCRND
A big hit symbol (see FIG. 5) corresponding to the extracted value of L is displayed as the symbol of the final stop. At this time, when the jackpot pattern after the re-change is stopped and displayed in the probability variation pattern as shown in FIG. 33 (B), the character 66 “Yay, it's a probability variation!” Is displayed and the probability variation is confirmed.

By the way, the re-changing system of the above-mentioned big hit symbols
In the case of the special display mode according to the present invention,
By changing the state or the probability variation pattern, slip fluctuation appears.
Then, even if it is a setting that makes it easy to reach the probability variation reach or the probability variation big hit.
Good. Hereinafter, such a configuration will be described. First,

In the above-described slip variation control of FIG. 34, the ratio of presence / absence of probability variation reach as shown in FIG. 35 is set. In FIG. 35, the unit is the number of times of reach, and the presence / absence of probability variation reach in the case of reaching 100 times is described for each presence / absence of slip variation.
Specifically, first, as the ratio of presence or absence of probability variation reach,
Considering from the number of 15 symbols in each symbol row (of which 5 symbols can be probability variation symbols), the number of normal reach other than the probability variation reach is (10/15) × 100≈67 times (= A times), and the probability variation The number of reach times is (5/15) × 100≈33 times (= B times). Therefore, the number of times of normal reach with sliding is WCRND in each determination of S47 and S56 in FIG. Considering that the ACT extraction rate is 12/100, (12/100) × A≈8 times. Similarly, the number of times of normal reach without sliding is (88/100) × A≈59 times. On the other hand, the number of times of probability variation reach with slippage is S45 in FIG.
Considering that 100% is performed based on the flow from S to S46 and the flow from S51 to S52, (100
/ 100) × B = 33 times, and the number of times of probability variation reach without sliding is (0/100) × B = 0 times. That is, as can be seen from the list chart of FIG. 35, each ratio of the normal reach and the probability variation reach when viewed as a total regardless of the presence or absence of slip is 2: 1 (probability variation of 67 times of the normal symbol shown in FIG. 35. It is set to 33 times of the symbol and the ratio is slightly different because it is calculated by rounding off to the right of the decimal point). As a breakdown, the ratio of normal reach and probability variation reach without sliding is set to 59: 0. On the other hand, the ratios of the normal reach and the probability variation reach with slip are set to 8:33. For this reason, when the slip variation control is performed to reach, the probability variation reaches with probability of a little over 80%, and thus this variation can be set in a probability variation reach predictive manner.

Then, with its appearance, it became a certain variation big hit.
To explain easy sliding fluctuation control, first, the flow chart of FIG.
-As shown in the chart, WCRND1, WCRND

And WCRND Set the reach flag according to the ACT value.
Then WCRND Loss according to L, C, R values
Change the pattern to stop and display the symbol at the display position
Yes (S68).

On the other hand, when the value of WCRND1 is the big hit value in S62, WCRND Extract ACT (S
69), then WCRND It is determined whether or not the value of L is a positive variation value (S70). WCRND in S70 If the value of L is a probable variable, then WCRND It is determined whether or not the ACT value is an even number (S71), and in S71 WCRND
When the ACT value is an even number, the process proceeds to S75 described later, while WCRND If the ACT value is not an even number, S72
Move to Then, in S72, the condition and WCRND A
Set the reach flag according to the CT value, then WC
RND The symbol variation is executed so that the symbol is stopped and displayed at the big hit display position corresponding to the value of L (S73).

In step S70, WCRND If the value of L is not a probable variable, then WCRND ACT value is 8
It is determined whether or not it is a multiple of (S74). W in S74
CRND When the value of ACT is a multiple of 8, the sliding fluctuation flag is set (S75), and the process proceeds to S76,
WCRND If the ACT value is not a multiple of 8, S
Move to 76. Then, in S76, the condition and WCRND
The reach flag corresponding to the value of ACT is set, and then the WCRND extracted in S61 is set. The temporary stop display position corresponding to the value of K is set (S77), the re-variation flag is set (S78), and the process proceeds to S73.

In the above-described slip variation control of FIG. 36, the ratio of presence / absence of probability variation big hit as shown in FIG. 37 is set. In FIG. 37, the unit is the number of big hits, and the presence or absence of a probability variation big hit in the case of 100 big hits is described for each presence or absence of slip variation.
Specifically, first, as the ratio of the presence or absence of a probability variation big hit,
Considering from the number of 15 symbols in each symbol row (of which 5 symbols can be probability variation symbols), the number of normal jackpots other than the probability variation jackpot is (10/15) × 100≈67 times (= A times), and the probability variation The number of big hits is (5/15) × 100≈33 times (= B times). Therefore, the number of times of normal jackpot with sliding is determined by the WCR in the determination of S74 of FIG.
ND Considering that the ACT extraction rate is 12/100, (12/100) × A≈8 times. Similarly, the number of times a normal big hit without sliding is (88/1
00) × A≈59 times. On the other hand, the number of times of positive variation big hit with sliding is determined by the WCRND in the determination of S71 of FIG. Considering that the extraction rate of ACT is 50/100, (50/100) × B≈17 times, and the number of times of probability variation big hit without sliding is (50/10
0) × B≈17 times. That is, as can be seen from the list chart of FIG. 37, the ratio of the normal jackpot and the probability variation jackpot when viewed as a total is 2: 1 regardless of the presence or absence of slip.
(67 times of the normal symbol shown in FIG. 37 and 33 times of the probability variation symbol have a slightly different ratio due to rounding off to the right of the decimal point), which is usually the case without slippage. The jackpot and the probability of each jackpot are 59:
On the other hand, the ratio of the normal big hit and the probability variation big hit in the case of the slip is set to 8:17. For this reason, in the case of performing the big variation by performing the sliding variation control, the probability variation is a big variation probability with a probability of about 70%, and thus the variation variation can be set in the probability variation big hit predictively. Although the voice / display notification flag is not set in the flowchart of FIG. 34, the voice / display notification flag may be set after the slip variation flag is set as in the flowcharts of FIGS. 19 and 20. Good. In addition to the above embodiments, the special display mode may be set to the super reach state or the W reach state, and the slip variation may be executed as a predictive existence for such super reach or W reach. is there.

As described above, in the special variable display device 30 of this embodiment, the sliding change (second change), which has a larger amount of change than the normal change (first change), is regarded as a predictive existence of the special display mode. Ready to run. In addition, the second variation amount in the variation period (7 to 15 symbols in the embodiment) in which the symbol can be visually recognized in such a sliding variation is the first variation amount in the variation period in which the symbol can be visually recognized in the normal variation (implementation). In the example, since it is set to be at least twice as large as three patterns), it is possible to easily visually distinguish normal fluctuations and sliding fluctuations, and to improve the interest of sliding fluctuations. The sliding change in the present embodiment is a predictive existence of the special display mode, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a preliminary existence of displaying the special display mode with a probability of 100% when the sliding change is executed. Good.

As is clear from the above description, in the present invention, the display control means determines the display result before deriving the display result on the variable display section, and Determination means for determining whether or not the display result determined by the display result determination means is a predetermined special display mode, and identification of the variable display section excluding at least the final stop variable display section of the plurality of variable display sections A variation amount control means for controlling the information by a normal first variation or a second variation having a greater variation amount than the first variation, wherein the variation amount control means determines that the identification information in the second variation. The second variation amount of the visible variation period is set to be at least twice as large as the first variation amount of the variation period in which the identification information is visible in the first variation, and the display result is displayed in the special display mode by the determination means. If there If it is set, the identification information is controlled by the second fluctuation, so the second fluctuation (sliding fluctuation) can be used as a notice or predictive fluctuation control of the special display mode, and further the first fluctuation (normal fluctuation). Since the extended variation amount of the sliding variation with respect to is set to a large amount, the normal variation and the sliding variation can be easily visually distinguished, and thus the interest of the sliding variation is improved.
