As shown in FIG. 2, a prize opening base plate 16 is fixed in the game area 13 </ b> D, and a square cylindrical large winning opening 17 whose front surface is open is fixed to the prize opening base plate 16. In the big prize opening 17, a big prize opening sensor 18 (see FIG. 3) composed of a proximity switch electrically connected to the input terminal of the main control device 23 is fixed. It detects that the ball has entered the big winning opening 17 and outputs a count signal.

As shown in FIG. 2, a door 19 is mounted on the winning prize base plate 16 so as to be rotatable about a horizontal shaft 20 at the lower end. The door 19 is connected to a plunger of a special prize opening solenoid 21 (see FIG. 3), and the special prize opening solenoid 21 plays the front of the special prize opening 17 based on the pivoting operation of the door 19 in a vertical state. The ball is closed so that it cannot be entered, and the door 19 is pivoted to the horizontal state where the ball 19 is tilted forward. That is, the special winning opening 17 is switched between a closed state in which a game ball cannot enter and an open state in which a game ball can enter.

As shown in FIG. 3, the big prize opening solenoid 17 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the main control device 23 via the drive circuit 22, and the main control apparatus 23 passes through the drive circuit 22 and the big prize opening solenoid 21. Based on the fact that the excitation power supply is given for a set time (for example, 30 seconds), the special winning opening 17 is opened for the set time. This opening operation is called a round operation, and is repeated a set number of times (for example, 15 rounds) (big hit operation).

As shown in FIG. 2, a display base plate 24 is fixed in the game area 13 </ b> D, and a symbol display device 25 composed of a color liquid crystal display is fixed to the display base plate 24.

A tank rail (not shown) and a payout case (not shown) are fixed to the rear side of the game board 13. The inside of the payout case communicates with the ball tank via the tank rail, and the game ball is supplied into the payout case from the ball tank through the tank rail.

The game ball payout mechanism is stored in the payout case. This payout mechanism uses a payout motor 29 formed of a pulse motor as a drive source, and each game ball is paid out downward from the payout case every time the rotation shaft of the payout motor 29 rotates a set amount. As shown in FIG. 3, the payout motor 29 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the prize ball control device 28 via the drive circuit 30, and the prize ball control device 28 issues a payout command from the main control device 23. Based on this, the payout motor 29 is driven and controlled, and a game ball is paid out from the payout case and supplied into the ball receiving tray 5. And, the above-mentioned winning prize sensor 18, main control device 23, prize ball control device 28, payout motor 29, drive circuit 30 and the like constitute a prize ball donating means.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4 to 9. The following operations are executed by the main control device 23 and the display control device 26 based on a control program recorded in advance in the ROM. When the power is turned on, the main control device 23 proceeds to step S1 in FIG. 4 and outputs an initial screen display command to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 displays the initial symbol “123” in the symbol display region in the left column to the symbol display region in the right column of the symbol display device 25.

When the main controller 23 detects the symbol start signal from the symbol start sensor 15 in step S2 of FIG. 4, the main control device 23 proceeds to step S3, acquires the big hit counter value and symbol counter value at the detection timing of the symbol start signal, and stores them in the RAM. Record. These jackpot counters and symbol counters are incremented from “0” to different upper limit values and then added back to “0”. When the main controller 23 acquires the jackpot counter value and symbol counter value, step S4 is performed. Migrate to

When the main control device 23 proceeds to step S4, the main control device 23 determines complete losing, losing reach and jackpot based on comparing the jackpot counter value of step S3 with the jackpot determination value and losing reach determination value. These jackpot determination value and outlier reach determination value are recorded in advance in the ROM of the main control unit 23. When the jackpot counter value is different from both the jackpot determination value and the outbreak reach determination value, it is determined that the hit is complete and the outreach reach is determined. When it is the same as the judgment value, it is judged as a detach reach, and when it is the same as the big hit judgment value, it is judged as a big hit.

<Determination of complete detachment> A detachment symbol table is recorded in the ROM of the main controller 23. This out symbol table shows the relationship between the symbol counter value and the out symbol, and when the main control device 23 determines that it is out in step S4 in FIG. 4, the main control device 23 proceeds to step S5 and responds to the symbol counter value in step S3. Select the falling symbol from the symbol table. The off symbol refers to three combination symbols in which the symbol in the left column and the symbol in the right column are different. When the main control device 23 acquires the symbol out of the design, the process proceeds to step S6 in FIG.

When the main control device 23 proceeds to step S6, it outputs a symbol variation command to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 variably displays the symbol groups in a set order in the symbol display area of each column of the symbol display device 25. In the symbol display area of each column, symbols are displayed in a loop-like manner in the vertical direction in a set order of “1” → “2”... “9” → “0” → “1” →.

Then, when the process proceeds to step S7 in FIG. 4, the display control device 26 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to display the notice effect. If it is determined that the notice effect display is to be performed, the process proceeds to the notice effect determining process in step S18 of FIG. If it is determined that the notice effect display is not performed, the main control device 23 detects that the set time T has elapsed after outputting the symbol variation command, and then proceeds to step S8 in FIG. The temporary stop command for the left column symbol group and the set left column symbol (left column symbol set in step S5) are output to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 temporarily stops the symbol display area in the left column of the symbol display device 25 at the left column symbol set in the left column symbol group.

When the main control device 23 detects that the set time T has elapsed since outputting the temporary stop command for the left column, the main control device 23 proceeds to step S9 in FIG. 4 to execute the temporary stop command for the right column symbol group and the set right column. The symbol (the right column symbol set in step S5) is output to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 temporarily stops the symbol display area in the right column of the symbol display device 25 at the right column symbol set in the right column symbol group.

When the main control device 23 outputs the temporary stop command in the right column, the main control device 23 proceeds to step S10 in FIG. 4 and determines that the determination result in step S4 is not a big hit or miss reach. Then, when the set time T has elapsed since the temporary stop command in the right column is output, the process proceeds to step S12, where the temporary stop command for the middle row symbol group and the set middle row symbol (the middle row set in step S5) are transferred. Is output to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 temporarily stops the inside of the symbol display area in the middle row of the symbol display device 25 at the middle row symbol set in the middle row symbol group.

When the main control device 23 detects that the set time T has elapsed since outputting the temporary stop command in the middle row, the main control device 23 proceeds to step S13 in FIG. 4 and outputs a symbol confirmation command to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 informs the player that the off symbol has been determined based on the symbols in each row of the symbol display device 25 being stationary.

When the main control device 23 outputs the symbol determination command, the process proceeds to step S14 in FIG. 4 and determines that the determination result in step S4 is not a big hit. And it returns to step S2 and waits for the output of the symbol start signal.

<Determination of detach reach> The detach reach symbol table is recorded in the ROM of the main controller 23. The outreach symbol table shows the relationship between the symbol counter value and the outreach symbol. When the main control device 23 determines that it is outreach in step S4 in FIG. 4, the main control device 23 proceeds to step S16, and the symbol counter in step S3. The outreach design according to the value is selected from the outreach design table. This outreach symbol refers to three combination symbols in which the symbol in the left column and the symbol in the right column are the same, but the symbols in the middle column are different. When the main controller 23 sets the symbol for reach, FIG. The process proceeds to step S6.

When the main control device 23 proceeds to step S6, it outputs a symbol variation command to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 causes the symbol group in the symbol display area of each column of the symbol display device 25 to fluctuate in the vertical direction in a predetermined setting order, and displays a symbol variation screen.

Then, the display control device 26 temporarily stops the inside of the symbol display area in the middle row of the symbol display device 25 at the middle row symbol set in the middle row symbol group.

<When determining the jackpot> A jackpot symbol table is recorded in the ROM of the main controller 23. The jackpot symbol table shows the relationship between the symbol counter value and the jackpot symbol. When the main control unit 23 determines that the jackpot is determined in step S4 of FIG. 4, the main control unit 23 proceeds to step S17 and responds to the symbol counter value of step S3. The jackpot symbol is selected from the jackpot symbol table. The jackpot symbol refers to three combination symbols having the same symbol in the left column to the right column. When the main controller 23 acquires the jackpot symbol, the process proceeds to step S6 in FIG.

Then, when the process proceeds to step S7 in FIG. 4, the display control device 26 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to display the notice effect. If it is determined that the notice effect display is to be performed, the process proceeds to the notice effect determining process in step S18 of FIG. 4 (details of the notice effect determining process will be described later). If it is determined that the notice effect display is not performed, the main control device 23 detects that the set time T has elapsed after outputting the symbol variation command, and then proceeds to step S8 in FIG. The temporary stop command for the left column symbol group and the set left column symbol (left column symbol set in step S17) are output to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 temporarily stops the symbol display area in the left column of the symbol display device 25 at the left column symbol set in the left column symbol group.

When the main control device 23 detects that the set time T has elapsed since outputting the temporary stop command for the left column, the main control device 23 proceeds to step S9 in FIG. 4 to execute the temporary stop command for the right column symbol group and the set right column. The symbol (the right column symbol set in step S17) is output to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 temporarily stops the symbol display area in the right column of the symbol display device 25 at the right column symbol set in the right column symbol group.

When the main control device 23 outputs the temporary stop command of the right row symbol group, the process proceeds to step S10 in FIG. Here, it is determined that the determination result in step S4 is a big hit, the process proceeds to step S11, and a predetermined reach effect is performed. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the detail of reach production.

When the main control device 23 detects that the set time T has elapsed since the provision of the temporary stop command in the right column, the main control device 23 proceeds to step S12 in FIG. 4, where the temporary stop command for the middle row symbol group and the set middle row are set. The symbol (middle row symbol set in step S17) is output to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 temporarily stops the inside of the symbol display area in the middle row of the symbol display device 25 at the middle row symbol set in the middle row symbol group.

When the main control device 23 detects that the set time T has elapsed since outputting the temporary stop command in the middle row, the main control device 23 proceeds to step S13 in FIG. 4 and outputs a symbol confirmation command to the display control device 26. Then, the display control device 26 informs the player that the jackpot symbol has been determined based on the symbols in each column of the symbol display device 25 being stationary.

When the main control device 23 outputs the symbol confirmation command, the process proceeds to step S14 in FIG. 4, the determination result in step S4 is a big hit, and the process proceeds to step S15. Then, based on the drive control of the big winning opening solenoid 21, the above-mentioned big hit operation is executed, and the process returns to step S2.

If it is determined in step S7 in FIG. 4 that the notice effect display is to be performed and the process proceeds to step S18 in FIG. 4, a notice effect determining process as shown in FIG. 5 is performed.

In step S21 of FIG. 5, the display control device 26 first determines whether or not a specific condition is satisfied (for example, whether or not a special notice effect is selected with a predetermined probability). Here, if the specific condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S22 in FIG. 5, and another notice effect previously stored in the display control device 26 is displayed. Then, the process returns to step S8 in FIG. 4. Note that description of the notice effect without using the sword member 100 is omitted.

If the specific condition is satisfied in step S21 of FIG. 5, then, in step S23 of FIG. 5, the character emits a speech such as “Take out the sword!” To the display control device 26, and the first sword. A video or an image instructing to point out and remove the sword member 100 attached to the insertion hole 110 is displayed, and the lock member 120 is unlocked in step S24 of FIG. Next, in step S25 in the figure, it is determined whether or not the sword member 100 has been pulled out and removed from the first sword insertion hole 110 within a certain time in this state. Here, when it is determined that the first sensor 111 is an off signal and the sword member 100 is pulled out from the first sword insertion hole 110, the sword is pulled out in step S26 of FIG. The video or image that is about to be stored in the place is displayed. At the same time, in step S27 of FIG. 5, the electromagnet 132 around the second sword insertion hole 130 is energized so that the electromagnet 132 has a magnetic force.

Next, in step S28 of FIG. 5, it is determined whether or not the sword member 100 can be inserted into the second sword insertion hole 130 within a predetermined time in this state. Here, if it is determined that the second sensor 131 is an ON signal and the sword member 100 is stuck and attached to the second sword insertion hole 130, the display controller 26 starts from step S29 in FIG. In response to the instruction to start a specific effect, the symbol display device 25 displays a specific effect (for example, an image of winning a battle with the dragon by inserting a sword into the weak point of the dragon).

Then, after displaying the notice effect, the process returns to step S12 in FIG.

Note that the reliability with respect to the occurrence of reach or the reliability with respect to the big hit may be changed depending on which displayed production pattern. For example, the image when the sword member 100 is inserted and removed may be set such that A is more reliable than B in terms of reach.
