That is, normally, the display control device 40 controls the display of the variable display portion 4a based on the display control data from the game control device 20, and the variable display portion 4a displays an image such as a call-in display for attracting customers. Is being done. In this state, when a game ball hit into the game area 1a wins the ordinary fluctuation winning device 9, the winning is detected by the special figure start sensor 9b and stored in the RAM 21b (special figure start storage), and the storage is performed. Is output to the variable display device 4 of the special figure, and the variable display section 4a starts the variable display game of the special figure.

During the variable display game of this special figure, a game ball wins further in the normal fluctuation winning device 9 and the special figure starting sensor 9b
, The detection signal is stored in the RAM 21b as the number of unprocessed special figure variable display games, and the special figure start storage display 4b is turned on for the number of unprocessed storage times. Then, after the end of the variable display game, the variable display games for the number of unprocessed times are sequentially performed,
Each time the process is performed, the number of unprocessed storages in the RAM 21b is subtracted, and the special figure start storage display 4b is sequentially turned off one by one, and the number of unprocessed storages in the RAM 21b is set to "0"
Continue until.

In the special display variable display game, the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are variably displayed, and the respective symbols are stopped in order, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). As described above, when the reach state in which a jackpot is likely to occur is obtained, each of the decorative lamps L1, L2, L
Reach notification that indicates the occurrence of the reach state by a combination of the decorative display by blinking of 3, L4, L5, L6, L7, and L8 and the variable reach display (variable symbol display and display of reach image) on the variable display section 4a. Is displayed. Here, each decorative lamp L1, L2, L3, L4, L
As the blinking pattern of 5, L6, L7, L8, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the decorative lamps L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6 arranged on the periphery of the game board 1
Is blinked in the order of L5 → L6 → L1 → L2 → L3 → L4 (lights up for a predetermined time), and a blinking pattern A which makes it appear as if the light of the decorative lamp is circling in the launch direction of the game ball, for example, As shown in FIG. 7, decorative lamps L7, L8 arranged at substantially the center of the game board 1, and decorative lamps L1, L2, L arranged at the periphery of the game board 1.
There is a blinking pattern B in which 3, L4, L5, and L6 alternately blink. As the type of reach variable display (reach pattern), for example, as shown in FIG. 4A, reach pattern 1 in which the final stop symbol is a right symbol,
As shown in FIG. 4B, there is a reach pattern 2 in which the final stop symbol is a middle symbol.

If the result of the variable reach display is a specific stop result mode (for example, a slotted line such as "1,1,1") which is a predetermined symbol combination mode, it is called a big hit. A specific game state is generated. In this jackpot (special game state), the cycle in which the opening / closing door 5a of the special variable winning device 5 opens and closes for a predetermined time (for example, 29.5 seconds) is one round, and during each round, the game ball is turned into the special winning port 5b. Continuation switch 5
d for a predetermined round (for example, 1
6 rounds). However, during each round, the number of winnings in the special winning opening 5b is detected by the count switch 5c and stored in the RAM 21b. When a predetermined number (for example, 10) is reached, the opening / closing door 5a is closed and the round is specified. The gaming state ends. In addition, during the occurrence of the jackpot, each decorative lamp L1, L
The effect display of the probable change normal notification is performed by a combination of the decorative display by the blinking of 2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8 and the jackpot display on the variable display unit 4a.

In the variable display game of this special figure, the ratio of each effect display pattern (each combination of the decorative lamp blinking pattern and the reach pattern) of the reach notification changes depending on whether the big hit (specific game state) occurs. It is supposed to. As a result, the rate of occurrence of the jackpot changes depending on the combination of the flickering pattern and the reach pattern of the decorative lamp. For example, as shown in FIG.
When the effect display pattern of reach notification combining the reach pattern 1 and the blinking pattern A is generated, the ratio of occurrence of a jackpot is about 2%, and the effect display pattern of reach information combining the reach pattern 1 and the blinking pattern B is When it occurs, the rate of occurrence of the jackpot is about 6%. When the effect display pattern of reach notification combining the reach pattern 2 and the blinking pattern A occurs, the rate of occurrence of the jackpot is 7 to 8% and the reach pattern 2 When the effect display pattern of reach notification combining the flashing pattern B and the flashing pattern B occurs, the rate of occurrence of the jackpot is about 20%.

Then, the stop display mode (for example, “3”, where the jackpot (specific game state) satisfies a predetermined condition)
When a specific symbol such as "7" occurs in a zoro-eye, that is, a probability variation symbol, or when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the jackpot display (for example, a home run occurs in the "baseball" jackpot display). When the player hits or when a shot is determined in the jackpot display of “soccer” or the like, after the jackpot ends, the jackpot occurrence probability becomes the normal probability until the jackpot occurs a predetermined number of times (eg, once). For example, a probability fluctuation state (special game state) occurs in which the probability is changed from 1/200) to a high probability (for example, 7/200).

In the variable display game of this special figure, depending on whether the above-mentioned probability variation state (special game state) occurs, each effect display pattern (the blinking pattern of the decorative lamp and the display pattern of the jackpot display) of the above-mentioned probable change normal notification. ) Is changing. As a result, the rate of occurrence of the probability variation state changes depending on the combination of the blinking pattern of the decorative lamp and the display pattern of the jackpot display. For example, as shown in FIG. 8C, when an effect display pattern of the probability-changing normal notification in which the jackpot display of “soccer” and the blinking pattern A (FIG. 6) are combined occurs, the probability that the probability variation state occurs is Approximately 30%, when a stochastic ordinary notification effect display pattern combining the jackpot display of “soccer” and the blinking pattern B (FIG. 7) occurs, the probability of occurrence of the probability variation state is approximately 56%, When an effect display pattern of the probability change normal notification that combines the jackpot display and the blinking pattern A occurs,
When the probability variation state occurs at a rate of about 63%, and when the effect display pattern of the probability-changing normal notification combining the jackpot display of "baseball" and the blinking pattern B occurs, the rate at which the probability variation state occurs is about 83%. It has become.

In the variable display game of this special figure,
Between the input of the detection signal from the special figure starting sensor 9b and the occurrence of the reach state (after the game ball wins in the normal fluctuation winning device 9), for example, a big hit ( When the rate of occurrence of the specific game state is higher than that in the normal game (for example, when the probability of occurrence of a jackpot is normally 1/200 while it is 1/2), a predetermined probability (for example, 1) / 2), each decorative lamp L
The effect display of the advance notice is performed by a combination of the decorative display by blinking of 1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8 and the advance display on the variable display section 4a. The rate of occurrence of each effect display pattern (combination of the blinking pattern of the decorative lamp and the display pattern of the advance display) of the advance notice changes depending on whether a big hit (specific game state) occurs. As a result, the rate of occurrence of the jackpot changes depending on the combination of the blinking pattern of the decorative lamp and the display pattern of the notice display. For example, FIG.
As shown in (b), the effect display pattern of the advance notice combining the advance display 1 (FIG. 5 (a)) and the blinking pattern A (FIG. 6) in which the sun appears on the background of each of the symbols that are displayed in a variable manner. Occurs, the rate of occurrence of the jackpot is about 2%, and when the effect display pattern of the advance notice combining the notice display 1 and the blinking pattern B (FIG. 7) occurs, the rate of occurrence of the jackpot is about 6%. When a notice display effect display pattern combining the notice display 2 (FIG. 5 (b)) in which a snow crystal appears on the background of each of the fluctuatingly displayed symbols and the blinking pattern A occurs, a big hit occurs. When the ratio is 7 to 8%, and when the effect display pattern of the advance notice combining the advance display 2 and the blinking pattern B occurs, the ratio of occurrence of the big hit is approximately 20%.

As described above, in the variable display game of the special figure, as shown in FIG. 9, the notice display and the display state are generated between the time when the game ball wins in the normal variable winning device 9 and when the reach state occurs. The effect display of the advance notice can be performed by the combination of the decoration display (flashing of the decoration lamp), and the reach is variable between the occurrence of the reach state and the occurrence of the big hit (specific game state). The effect display of the reach notification can be performed by the combination of the display and the decoration display. Then, during the period from the occurrence of the jackpot to the end thereof, the effect display of the constant change normal notification is performed by a combination of the jackpot display and the decorative display.

FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of a game control sequence performed by the game control device 20.

This game control sequence is started when the power of the game control device 20 is turned on. When the game control sequence is started, first, in step S1, an initialization process of a register and a RAM 21b used by the CPU 21a of the game control device 20 is performed, and step S2 is performed.
Move to In step S2, it is determined whether or not the number of winning storages (starting memory of a special figure) stored in the RAM 21b is a maximum value (for example, 4). As a result of this judgment,
If the number of winning storages is the maximum value, the process proceeds to step S9. If the number of winning storages is not the maximum value, the process proceeds to step S3. In step S3, it is determined whether or not a prize ball is detected by the special figure start sensor 9b (whether there is a prize in the ordinary variable prize device 9). As a result of this determination, the prize ball is detected by the special figure start sensor 9b. If detected, the process proceeds to step S4. On the other hand, if the special drawing start sensor 9b does not detect a winning ball, the process proceeds to step S9.
Move to.

In step S4, a process of adding "1" to the winning storage number is performed, and thereafter, the value of the jackpot random number counter is sequentially extracted and stored in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 21b (step S5). A process of extracting the value of the acquired random number counter and storing it in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 21b (step S6), and a process of extracting the value of the reach type determination random number counter and storing it in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 21b (step S6) S7), a process of extracting the value of the random number counter of the game operation notice and storing it in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 21b (step S8). Next, the process of updating the jackpot random number counter (step S9) and the process of updating the probability-change acquired random number counter (step S1)

In step S13, a game control process is performed for each sequence. In this game control processing, for example, various counters relating to game control (for example, a random number counter for generating a jackpot, a random number counter for generating a reach, a random number counter for generating a notice, a random number counter for generating a probability change, excluding the counter updated in steps S9 to S12). For example, a process of updating a random number counter or the like, a process of storing the values of the various counters in a predetermined storage area in the RAM 21b, and the like are performed. After this processing ends, the flow shifts to step S14. In step S14, for example, after updating various random numbers that are not related to the game value, such as random numbers involved in determining a lost symbol, the process proceeds to step S15. In step S15, it is determined whether an interrupt signal generated at a predetermined cycle (for example, about 2 ms) is detected. If the result of this determination is that an interrupt signal has been detected, step S
