I have it.

Then, the start winning detection switch 1s (SW ₁ ) for detecting a winning ball in the starting winning openings 4, 5, and 6 and generating a starting winning detection signal is stored in the arithmetic storage means 701 to the large winning opening 52. A winning number detection switch 57 (S) which detects a winning of a game ball and generates a winning opening winning signal.

Further, the storage display control means 704 has a winning number storage display means 770 (for example, LED1 to LED1).
4), the prize ball discharge device 810 is connected to the prize ball discharge control means 761.

Next, among the various controls by the control system configured as described above, the operation control of various control means performed from the time when the game ball wins the starting winning opening to the time when "big hit" occurs will be described. I do.

In the control system having the above configuration, when the power is turned on and the gaming machine is in a normal operation state,
First, the variable display control unit 830 controls the variable display device 20.
The initial symbol display (including numbers, symbols, etc.) is performed.

In the initial state immediately after the power is turned on, a signal indicating that there is no small discharge unprocessed number is sent from the arithmetic storage means 701 to the prize ball discharge control means 761. Here, the small discharge unprocessed number refers to a portion of the total number of game balls that have won the winning opening (start winning opening) in which seven discharges are performed, for which the corresponding discharge processing (small discharge processing) has not been completed yet. The number of winning balls. Therefore, when the small discharge unprocessed number remains, the discharge of the prize balls by the prize ball discharge device 810 is prioritized to the normal number discharge (for example, 13 discharges), and the small discharge (7 discharges) is performed. The process of exciting the limit solenoid 814b (FIG. 11) is performed.

Immediately after the power is turned on, when a signal indicating that there is no small discharge unprocessed number has been sent from the arithmetic storage means 701, the limit solenoid 814b is demagnetized, and the prize ball discharge device 810 sets the prize ball discharge device 810 for one prize ball. The normal number of discharges (for example, 13) is performed.

In this state, the game is played and the starting winning opening 4,
When the game ball in any of 5, 6 is winning, the detection signal indicating the winning by starting winning signal generating means SW ₁ is sent to the arithmetic storage means 701.

The arithmetic storage means 701 calculates an added value (total number) of the number of winning balls which have won the starting winning opening based on the detection signal, and calculates one addition ball from the winning ball discharge control means 761. Each time a signal indicating that the corresponding one prize ball discharging process has been completed is input, the process of subtracting the added value by 1 is performed to calculate the number of unprocessed small discharges.

As a result of the calculation, when a signal indicating that the small discharge unprocessed number remains (a small discharge unprocessed number present signal) is sent from the arithmetic storage means 701 to the prize ball discharge control means 761, the limit solenoid 814b is excited, and the prize ball discharge device 810 is switched to a state in which small discharge (seven discharges) is performed.

On the other hand, the arithmetic storage means 701 separately adds the number of winning balls winning the starting winning opening, and stores the added value within a predetermined limit (for example, the maximum value is "4"). . The added value stored in this way is decremented by one every time a signal sent from the start command signal generating means 702 (the signal is generated every time the variable display game is performed once) is input. The signal representing the subtracted value is sent to the command signal generating means 702, and the variable display game is repeatedly executed until the subtracted value becomes "0". The processed number signal is sent to the storage display control means 704, and the unprocessed number (winning storage number) is displayed on the winning number storage display means 770.

When a start command signal is sent from the start command signal generation means 702 to the variable display control means 830 based on the variable display game unprocessed number signal, the variable display control means 830 outputs a command signal to The display device 20 is caused to change the variable display symbol.

On the other hand, a signal indicating that the start command signal has been sent to the variable display control means 830 is sent from the start command signal generating means 702 to the arithmetic storage means 701 as described above, and is subtracted from the added value. A signal indicating the calculation result is sent to the storage display control means 704, and the winning number storage display means 770 displays the subtracted number.

A start command signal from the start command signal generating means 702 is sent to a stop command signal generating means 703.

The stop command signal generating means 703 sends a stop command signal to the variable display control means 830 at a point in time when a predetermined time has elapsed since the symbol change accompanying the start of the variable display game. The symbol change of the variable display of the variable display device 20 by the control means 830 is stopped.

As described above, the result of the variable display game which is started / stopped based on the respective signals from the start command signal generating means 702 and the stop command signal generating means 703, that is, whether or not a "big hit" is determined. It is performed as follows.
That is, when the variable display game is played by the variable display device 20, a signal indicating the result is sent from the variable display control means 830 to the big hit determination means 713. The jackpot determining means 713 determines whether or not a “big hit” is based on the signal, and the result of the variable display game is “big hit”.
When it is determined that the
In order to generate a big hit signal, a determination signal is output.

If the big hit determination means 713 determines that the "big hit" is detected, the determination signal is sent to the big hit signal generation means 71.
6 and the big hit signal generating means 716 sends a big hit signal to the variable display control means 830. Upon receiving this signal, the variable display control means 830 operates the variable display device and sets a big hit wait time. The display is to be performed.

The big hit signal from the big hit signal generating means 716 is also sent to the big hit wait time end signal generating means 717, and the big hit wait time end signal generating means 717 receiving this signal elapses a predetermined time after receiving the signal. Thereafter, a big hit wait time end signal is sent to the variable display control means 830. Upon receiving this signal, the variable display control means 830 causes the variable display device 20 to terminate the big hit wait time display and display after the big hit has occurred (the display mode of the variable display game in which the big hit was generated at the beginning (“0 , 0,0 "," 1,1,
1) is displayed).

The signal from the big hit wait time end signal generating means 717 is the open start signal generating means 72.
1 is also sent. The opening start signal generating means 721 sends an opening start signal to the variable winning device 50 based on the big hit wait time end signal, and according to this signal, the big winning opening solenoid of the variable winning device 50 (not shown).
Is excited (ON) to open the special winning opening 52 (the occurrence of a special game state).

Further, the release start signal from the release start signal generation means 721 is also sent to the release end signal generation means 722, which will be described in detail later, and further to the continuation count means 726, for various controls after the occurrence of the "big hit". Used.

Next, a description will be given of changes in the operations of the various control devices performed after the "big hit" has occurred once, along with changes in the operations of the variable winning device 50.

As described above, when a "big hit" occurs and an opening start signal is generated from the opening start signal generating means 721, the big winning opening 52 of the variable winning device 50 is opened.

As described above, once a big hit occurs, the variable display control means 830 exemplifying the display switching control means causes the variable display device 20 to generate the "big hit" in the variable display game as described above. Show the result. The display of the result of the variable display game by the variable display control means 830 is held for a predetermined time by the display time measuring means 830a provided therein. Then, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the variable display control means 830 causes the continuation number counting means 7 to be described later.
28, based on the respective signals from the winning number adding means 723, the variable display device 20 displays the number of continuations and the number of winnings over a predetermined time.

When a game ball wins in the continuous winning opening 53 in the special winning opening 52 in a state where the special winning opening 52 is opened (special game state), the winning game ball is switched to the continuous winning switch 56 (SW _2). ) And the continuous winning switch 5
6 (SW ₂ ), a continuous winning detection signal is sent to the variable display control means 830. By inputting this continuous winning signal,
The variable display control means 830 displays on the variable display device 20 that the continuation condition has been established (a display similar to that shown in FIG. 20 described below, in which a doll is made three times).

The opening start signal from the opening start signal generating means 721 is also inputted to the opening end signal generating means 722.
2 further includes a signal from a winning number determination means 742 described later (the signal is a predetermined number (for example, 1
0) is also input.

The release end signal generating means 722 receives the signal from the winning number determination means 742 or a predetermined time after inputting the release start signal, whichever is earlier. Is established, a signal (opening end signal) for instructing to end the opening of the special winning opening 52 (end of the special game state) is sent to the variable winning device 50 to end the opening and at the same time end the opening. A signal is sent to the variable display control device 830 to end the display indicating the open state of the special winning opening 52, which has been performed up to that point. Instead, an interval display is performed. (Only the result of the variable display game is fixedly displayed).

The signal representing the result of the determination from the winning number determination means 724 is output as follows.

That is, the above-described opening start signal generating means 721
When the special winning opening 52 of the variable winning device 50 is open based on the opening start signal from the
When a winning is made during the second game, the winning number detection switch 57 (SW ₃ ) in the big winning opening is detected, and a large winning opening winning detection signal is generated for each detection. The large winning detection signal generated in this manner is added by the winning number adding means 723, and it is determined by the winning number determining means 724 whether or not the added value indicating the winning number of the game balls is equal to or larger than a predetermined value. You.

The signal representing the winning number from the winning number adding means 723 is sent to the variable display control means 830, and the operation of the means 830 causes a "big hit" to occur and the special winning opening 52 is opened. The winning number is displayed intermittently for a predetermined time together with the number of continuations described later. The value added by the winning number adding means is reset to "0" when the opening end signal is input from the opening end signal generating means 722.

The signal from the continuous winning switch 56 (SW ₂ ) is input to the variable display control means 830, and the variable display control means 830 having received the signal determines whether the continuation condition is satisfied. A signal representing the result of the determination is also sent to the opening start signal generating means 721. Upon receiving the signal, the opening start signal generating means 721 determines that the continuation condition is satisfied on condition that it is determined that the final cycle has not yet been reached by the continuation number determining means 728 described later, and the variable display device 20 Is displayed to indicate that the continuation condition is satisfied.

28 determines whether or not the number of continuations has reached a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times); Under the condition that a continuous winning signal is generated from 56, the opening start signal generating means 721 is used to continuously open the special winning opening 52 (special game state).

The opening end signal is sent from the opening end signal generating unit 722 when the continuation number count value of the continuation number counting unit 726 reaches 10 or when the continuation condition is not satisfied. The value is reset to "0".

In the present embodiment, the accessory control means 700
The variable display control means 830 constitutes a variable display game means, a special game state display means, and a display content switching means.

Next, the big hit processing performed only when the result of the variable display game is "big hit" will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

As described later, this big hit processing is performed by changing the game state during the occurrence of the big hit, that is, the number of times the big winning port 52 of the variable winning device 50 is opened as the special game state related information, and Display of the change state of the winning number of game balls in the large winning opening 52 (continuous number winning number display), or display of the variable display game result that generated the "big hit" as a special stop mode (big hit symbol display) Is performed by the variable display device 20.

When the program is released, first, a big hit wait time is displayed in step S2.

In the big hit wait time display, after it is determined that the "big hit" has occurred as a result of the variable display game, the big win port solenoid of the variable win apparatus 50 is actually opened by exciting the big win port solenoid. This is a display that is performed for a predetermined period of time up to and notifies the player in advance that the big winning opening 52 will be opened due to the occurrence of the “big hit” (displays shown in FIGS. 20 and 21 described later).

When the big hit wait time is displayed, it is determined in the next step S4 whether or not the special winning opening solenoid provided in the special winning opening 52 is excited (ON). While the determination result is “No”, the above-described jackpot wait time display is continued, and the determination result is “Ye
s "(the big winning opening 5 by the solenoid)
After the opening operation of No. 2 is started), steps S6 and S8 are executed.

At step S6, the number of continuation winnings is displayed. The display of the number of continuation winnings is "big hit"
The number of times the special winning opening 52 has been opened since the occurrence of (the number of continuations)
And a process of displaying the number of game balls (winning number) winning in the special winning opening by one opening, and a continuation number counter which is counted up in step S42 to be described later (the counter is the opening of the special winning opening). It is counted up when the time has elapsed or when the winning number of the game ball to the special winning opening 52 becomes 10 and the special winning opening is closed), and the count value is incremented in step S26 described later. The count value of the winning number counter (the counter is counted every time a game ball wins in the special winning opening 52) is displayed on the variable display section 21 of the variable display device.

By the way, the display of the number of continuations in the display of the number of continuations is shown on the left display portion 21a (left symbol) of the three divided display portions of the variable display portion 21, and the display of the number of prizes is shown on the right side. The display portion 21c (the right symbol) is displayed on the display portion 21c (the right symbol), and the middle display portion 21b (the middle symbol) displays the hyphens connecting them (for example, when the number of continuations is three and the winning number is six). , "3-6" is displayed).

In the following step S8, the continuous winning display timer for measuring the time interval for holding the continuous number winning display is set to a predetermined value (for example, 3072 msec), and thereafter, the process proceeds to step S10 and subsequent steps.

In step S10, it is determined whether or not the big hit symbol display (the symbol display is started in step S20 described later) is being executed at this time. When this step is executed for the first time after the start of this routine,
The result of this determination is "No", the process proceeds to step S12, and the display of the winning number of continuations is continued, and then step S1
At 4, it is determined whether or not the continuous prize display timer which has started counting in step S8 or step S22 described below has timed out.

While the result of this determination is “No”, the following steps S16 and S18 are skipped, and
The processing after 24 is executed.

When the predetermined time has elapsed and the continuous winning display timer has timed out, the result of the determination in step S14 turns to "Yes", and the big hit symbol display and the big hit symbol display timer are set in steps S16 and S18, respectively. .

More specifically, in the big hit symbol display process in step S16, the game result of the variable display game that has caused the "big hit", that is, the big hit symbol, is displayed in the variable display section 21 (21a, 21a, 21a, 21a) of the variable display device 20. 21b, 21c)
Will be displayed.

In the following step S18, the big hit symbol display timer is set to a predetermined value (for example, 1024 msec).
The big hit symbol display timer is for measuring a time interval (the predetermined value, 1024 msec) set to be shorter than the number of times the big hit symbol display is to be held and the time for displaying the winning number. It is determined in step S20 described later whether or not it has been raised.

When the setting of the big hit symbol display and the big hit symbol display timer is completed, the processing after step S24 is executed.

[0157] Once the big hit symbol is displayed in this manner, in the subsequent loop, the determination result of the step S10 is changed to "Yes" and the process proceeds to the step S20, where the big hit symbol display timer set in the step S18 is set. It is determined whether or not the time has elapsed.

If the result of this determination is "No", that is, if the predetermined time has not yet elapsed since the start of the big hit symbol display, the following steps S22 and S12 are executed.
Steps S24 to S18 are skipped, and the processing from step S24 is performed.

On the other hand, when the big hit symbol display timer times out after the predetermined time has elapsed (after the big hit symbol display has been performed for the predetermined time), the result of the determination in step S20 turns to "Yes", and In S22, the continuous winning display timer for counting the display time interval of the continuous winning number display is again set to the predetermined value (for example, 3072 ms).
Then, the process proceeds to step S12 described above, and the variable number display 21 displays the winning number of continuation times.

As described above, the condition that the special winning opening 52 is kept open (the predetermined time has not yet elapsed after the special winning opening has been opened, and the special winning opening 52 has been opened during one opening cycle). (Condition that 10 or more game balls have not yet won)
Under this condition, the display of the number of continuous winnings and the display of the big hit symbol are alternately performed over a predetermined time.

In the processing after step S24, it is first determined whether or not the winning number detection switch 57 is turned "ON" (step S24).

When the determination result of step S24 is "Ye
s ", that is, when it is detected that the gaming ball has won the special winning opening 52 from the previous loop to the present loop, the process proceeds to step S26, and the number of winning balls to the special winning opening 52 is counted. “1” is added to the value of the above-mentioned winning number counter, and then it is determined in step S28 whether or not the added value of the winning number counter has reached “10”. As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the count value has reached “10” (when “Yes”), that is, when the special winning opening 52 is opened once, at least 10 game balls are large. When it is detected that the winning opening 52 has been won, the processing from step S36 described below is performed to end the opening of the special winning opening 52.

On the other hand, when the count value does not reach “10” and the determination result is “No”, or when no new winning ball to the special winning opening 52 is detected by the current loop, the following steps are performed. S30 is executed. In this step S30, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the continuous winning opening 53 provided in the special winning opening 52 between the previous loop and the current loop (whether the continuous winning switch has been turned ON).

If the determination result is "Yes", the continuation flag is set to "1" to indicate that the continuation condition is satisfied (step S32), and thereafter, the continuation number winning number display or the big hit is performed for a predetermined time. The symbol display is interrupted, and a continuation condition satisfaction display (step S33) is performed.

The display of satisfaction of the continuation condition is performed preferentially with respect to the display mode of the variable display device in the big hit state at this time, that is, the alternate display of the big hit symbol display and the continuation number winning number display. As described above, as shown in FIG. 20, the display of the doll as a continuation condition satisfaction information is displayed three times continuously during the above-mentioned predetermined time. When the continuation condition satisfaction display ends after the predetermined time has elapsed, the state display in the big hit state (big hit symbol display,
Or, the display of the number of continuous winnings) is restarted.

When the display of satisfaction of the continuation condition is completed, or when the result of the determination in step S30 is "No", the flow proceeds to step S34, and after the special winning opening 52 is opened (the excitation of the special winning opening solenoid is started). A determination is made as to whether a predetermined time has elapsed.

When the result of this determination is "Yes", as in the case of "Yes" in the step S28, the steps from the step S36 onward are performed so as to end one opening operation (operation for one cycle) of the special winning opening 52. The processing is performed, and when the determination result is “No”, the processing is repeated from step S10.

In the processing after step S36, which is executed when the result of determination of either step S28 or step S34 is "Yes" (when the condition for ending one cycle is satisfied), First, Grand Prize Win 5
The special winning opening solenoid is demagnetized (OFF) to close No. 2 (step S36), and then the process proceeds to step S38.
In step S38, it is determined whether or not the continuation condition is satisfied at the time when the special winning opening 52 is closed (whether the continuation flag is "1"). If the determination result is “Yes”, the process further proceeds to step S40, and the continuation count is “1”.
It is determined whether or not "0" has been reached.

When the result of this determination is “No”, that is, after the “big hit” has occurred, the number of times of opening operation of the special winning opening 52 has not reached 10 (this opening operation is the first to ninth
If it is a cycle opening operation), step S42 is executed.
The following processing is performed.

That is, in step S42, "1" is added to the value of the continuation number counter to obtain a new count value. Then, the value of the winning number counter is reset to "0" (step S44), and the value of the continuation flag is set. It is reset to "0" (step S46), and then the interval display is started (step S48), and the process is repeated from step S10.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination in the step S38 is "No" (when the predetermined continuation condition is not satisfied) or when the result of the determination in the step S40 is "Yes" (the opening operation performed this time is In the case of the opening operation in the cycle), the count value of the continuation number counter is reset to "0" in step S50, and the value of the winning number counter is reset to "0" in the subsequent skip S52. The big hit processing ends.

Note that the above-mentioned interval display is a display which is performed from the time when the special winning opening 52 is once closed to the time when it is opened next time.

After editing and outputting the sound effect, the process proceeds to the next step S111 to update the random number.

The series of main processing is started by returning to step S100 every time a reset signal from the frequency divider 644 is input to the reset terminal RST of the microcomputer 610.

FIG. 25 shows a control processing procedure of the input processing (phase 0) of the main processing of FIG.

In the phase 0 input processing, the chattering of the switches SW ₁ , SW ₂ , SW _3, etc. is removed, and the current state (logical level) and the active state (rising edge) are detected.

The input processing of this phase 0 is started.
First, in steps S120 to S122, the RAM 63

Each process of conversion to positive logic is performed.

Then, after that, steps S123 to S1
In step 26, the chattering elimination process, the calculation of the current logical state, the storage of the current state in the RAM 630, and the storage of the active status in the RAM 630 are performed, and the process proceeds to step S127.

In step S127, it is determined whether or not the chattering time has ended. If it is determined that the chattering time has not ended, the process directly proceeds to the next phase 1 initialization process.
In step S130, the chattering time is initialized, the active status storage area of the RAM 630 is cleared, and the active state storage area is initialized. Then, the process proceeds to the next phase 1 initialization processing.

FIG. 26 shows a control processing procedure of the initialization processing (phase 1) of the main processing of FIG. In the initialization processing of the phase 1, the power monitor is inspected to determine whether the power is turned on or the processing is continued. If the result of the determination is that the power is turned on or if the inspection area of the RAM 630 is abnormal, the RAM 630 is reset. This is a process for initializing an area.

When the processing of the phase 1 is started, it is first determined in step S140 whether or not the power is turned on. If the power is turned on, the process proceeds to step S141. If not, the process proceeds to step S142.

As a result, when the process proceeds to step S142, it is determined in step S142 whether or not the inspection area of the RAM 630 is normal. If it is normal, the process proceeds to the next phase 2 output process. Step S14

In 147, the inspection data is set in the inspection area of the RAM 630, and the flow shifts to step S800 in FIG.

FIGS. 27 to 29 show a control processing procedure of the output processing (phase 2) of the main processing of FIG.

The output process of this phase 2 is performed by setting the corresponding symbol storage area based on the judgment of the display counter updated in the remaining time, outputting the edited output information to the corresponding port, and performing two systems corresponding to the input area. This is a process of performing a prize ball discharge process or the like.

When the processing of this phase 2 is started, first, in step S150 in FIG. 24A, the display counter is determined (JUDGE1 processing), and the flow advances to the next step S152.

At step S152, it is determined whether or not the symbol is a big hit symbol. When it is determined that the symbol is a big hit symbol, a big hit symbol area is designated at step S154, and step S158 is performed.
When it is determined that the symbol is not a big hit symbol, a departure symbol area is designated in step S156, and step S158 is performed.

If it is determined that the chattering elimination time has ended, the dual system control number is set to "2" in step S214, and the flow shifts to step S234 to end. If it is determined that there is not, the process proceeds directly to step S234.

Conventionally, since the variable display device has a very important function of executing a variable display game relating to the occurrence of a special game state as described above, it is arranged at the center of the game area. Most of them are configured to be easily noticed by players. Therefore, arranging the variable display device in the center of the game area and arranging the starting winning opening below the center is the mainstream of the arrangement of the accessory device in the game area. For this reason, the game balls repelled in the game area collide with the armor portion or the like of the front component of the variable display device in the process of flowing down, and it is difficult for the ball to flow down around the starting winning opening below. When it becomes difficult for the game balls to flow down around the starting winning opening, the number of times of the variable display game performed when the game balls are won to the starting winning opening is reduced, and the expectation of the occurrence of the special gaming state is weakened and the player's expectation is reduced. There is a problem that game separation occurs.

In recent years, it has been considered to increase the variable display area in order to enhance the interest in the variable display game. When the variable display area is increased in this manner, the entire variable display becomes correspondingly large, so that when the variable display device is mounted from the front of the game board as in the related art, the opening of the game board is extremely wide. It must be formed, and the game area is narrowed accordingly.
Further, the front component of the variable display device completely covers the upper portion of the starting winning opening over a wide area, and further, it becomes difficult for game balls to flow around the starting winning opening. Therefore, in order to cause the game balls to flow down around the starting winning opening, a further great adjustment of the obstacle nail is required. Further, as the size of the variable display device further increases, a game area is further narrowed, a route along which a game ball flows down is limited, and a space for planting an obstacle nail is limited. It becomes difficult to make the game balls flow evenly to the surrounding area.
