  • the startup flag is set during the processing of each job.
  • RS-08 When RS-08 is executed, the execution address of the broken job is stored in the break address of the scan register, and the job is processed from the continuation of the job at the next scan. Is done. For example, job 1 processing is executed, and a scan controller start instruction is executed. Then, the scan controller causes the job 2 to execute.
  • Job 2 starts the processing of Job 2 if the start flag is set, and moves to the next job if it is not set.
  • the scan controller shifts and returns to Job 1 and processes from the address stored in the break address of Job 1's scan register. Restart. Unless the start flag is set, each job is immediately shifted to the next job, so the processing can be shifted in a short time just to scan, so that wasteful consumption is achieved. Time can be avoided.

  • the multiplication factor it is determined whether or not the combination of the arrangement of the patterns on each betting line matches the predetermined combination. If there is a hit, an instruction is given to display it on the display control unit, and a fan job is instructed on the music job. Also, in the case of a departure, the departure display is instructed to the display control unit, and a departure to the music job is instructed to the fan job. Calculate the number of media to be awarded according to the credit ratio and display the number of media to be awarded. As a result, the start flag of the medium discharge management job is set to 0 N, and the medium discharge processing is performed by the medium discharge management job. As described above, various jobs are processed by the game control unit, and the progress of the game can be controlled.
