Up to four current values of RAN1 will be stored.

The value of the big hit random number storage register RAN1 changes in a regular manner in each predetermined processing cycle, and the winning detection timings for the left, middle, and right type first opening ports 16, 3, 17 and R
Since there is no causal relationship with the current value of AN1, the current value of RAN1 at the time of winning detection can be used as a random number. Also, the value of RAN1 changes in increments of 1 in the range of 0 to 205, but the value of RAN1 that reaches 205 is immediately initialized in the upstream processing, so that the value of 205 is detected in the processing at the time of winning detection. It will not be done.

In this embodiment, the comparison value for setting the value range of the big hit random number storage register RAN1 is set to 205. However, this value is not fixed, and can be arbitrarily changed by changing a parameter in the program. Can be reset to the value of In addition, a DIP switch for arbitrarily setting a comparison value is provided on the control board, and the setting values of the DIP switch and the like are read in an initialization process at power-on,
This value may be stored in the RAM 31 as a comparison value.

The random number storage register for fluctuation time RAN2 is 0
Alternatively, a value of 1 is generated cyclically, but this value changes independently of the symbol variation process, and has no causal relationship with the symbol variation start timing. The current value is a random number.

The processing of task 2 shown in FIG. 15 is performed by the left symbol data storage register r0, the middle symbol data storage register r1,
It is for sequentially changing the value of the internal processing index stored in each of the right symbol data storage register r2 and the upper symbol data storage register r3 to randomly create a combination of a winning symbol and a combination of a missing symbol, In the processing of steps b1 to b12, the CPU 32 changes the values of the internal processing indices stored in the left, middle, right and upper symbol data storage registers r0 to r3 sequentially and individually for each processing cycle, thereby displaying symbols. Create all possible combinations,
It is determined whether the combination of the internal processing indices created in the processing cycle is related to a winning symbol or a missing symbol (step b13). If the combination is a winning symbol, the current value of each internal processing index is determined. It is stored in each of the left, middle, right, and upper jackpot symbol data storage registers r0a to r3a (step b14), and if the combination of the internal processing indices created in the processing cycle is out of relation, the respective internal The current value of the processing index is stored in each of the left, middle, right and top off design data storage registers r0b to r3b (step b15).

Therefore, in each of the left, middle, right, and upper jackpot symbol data storage registers r0a to r3a, only the value of the internal processing index relating to the jackpot symbol is sequentially updated and stored. Only the value of the internal processing index relating to the off symbol is sequentially updated and stored in each of the off symbol data storage registers r0b to r3b.

Symbol data storage registers r0, r1, r
The relationship between the values of the internal processing indices and the symbols stored in r2 and r3 is as shown in Tables 1 to 4, and the left, middle, right and upper display indices il, ic, ir, iu and the symbols Equal to The possible values of the internal processing index for the left and middle symbols are 0 to 14 (see Tables 1 and 2), and the possible values of the internal processing index for the right symbol are 0 to 15 (Table 3). ), The possible values of the internal processing index for the upper symbol are 0 to 3 (see Table 4). Therefore, in order to create all the combination symbols that can be displayed in one cycle, 152, 16, and 4 processing cycles are required.

[Table 4] In addition, combinations of the symbols that result in the big hits are as shown in Table 5. First figure composed of left, middle and right symbols
The pattern can be a hit symbol only by the first symbol.
The second symbol, which is a symbol and is composed of the upper symbol
Is the first figure when the first symbol is in a predetermined display mode.
It is a design that can constitute a winning design in combination with the design. You
That is, in the embodiment, when the left, middle, and right symbols all match, a symbol combination of a big hit is obtained regardless of the upper symbol, and when the numbers of the left and middle symbols match, , The number on the right symbol is 1 more than the number on the left and middle symbols
One small combination (however, when the left and middle symbols match "0", the right symbol is "9") and the symbol combination of the big hit only when the upper symbol display is "+1" Becomes

[0061]

[Table 5] That is, the combination of the symbols stored in the left, middle, right and upper jackpot symbol data storage registers r0a to r3a is one of the combinations shown in Table 5, and all the other combinations are the left. , Middle, right, and off-design symbol data storage registers r0b to r3b. Therefore, like a mechanical rotary drum, each symbol is completely randomly displayed and randomly displayed, and the probability of a big hit is calculated by dividing the number of combinations of hit symbols by the total number of combinations of symbols 70/14400.
However, in the embodiment, the variation is made based on the relationship between the set value and the value of the fixed random number storage register Ri set at the time of winning detection in the left, middle, and right type 1 starting openings 16, 3, and 17. Since the symbol to be displayed when the display is stopped is selected, the jackpot occurrence probability can be arbitrarily set irrespective of the combination occurrence probability of each symbol. The values of the registers r0a to r3a, the registers r0b to r3b, and the registers r0 to r3 indicate the values of the internal processing indices, and are the display indices il, i used for the actual fluctuation display.
It is independent of the current values of c, ir, iu.

The processing of task 3 shown in FIG. 16 to FIG.

The CPU 32 that has started the processing of the task 3
First, 1 or 2 is set in the state storage flag Fa to determine whether or not it is possible to start a new symbol variation display based on winning detection in the left, middle, and right type 1 starting openings 16, 3, and 17. (Step c1, step c1)
2). If the value of the state storage flag Fa is 1, the symbol variation display is being executed, and the value of the state storage flag Fa is 2
If so, the opening operation of the special winning opening 15 is being performed, and in any case, the start of the new symbol change display is impossible. When the value of the state storage flag Fa is 1, the CPU 3
Reference numeral 2 denotes the process of task 3, which continuously executes the symbol change display, and when the value of the state storage flag Fa is 2, the process of task 3 is substantially not executed.

If the state storage flag Fa is a value other than 1 and 2, no symbol change display or opening operation of the special winning opening 15 is performed, so that a new symbol change can be started. At the initial stage, Fa = 0).

In this case, the CPU 32 first determines whether or not the storage state identification flag F0 is set to 1;
Task 1, left, middle, right type 1 opening 16,3,1
It is determined whether or not the winning of No. 7 has been detected (step c3).

If a prize has been detected in the left, middle, and right type 1 starting openings 16, 3, 17, the value of the big hit random number storage register RAN 1 at the time of winning detection is determined by the task 1 processing. The storage state discrimination flag Fi corresponding to the determined random number storage register Ri is set to 1 at this time, and at this time, the CPU 32 sends the left, middle, and right first type start ports 16, 3, 17 to the first type start ports 16, 3, 17, respectively. Each time a prize is detected, random numbers are stored in the determined random number storage register Ri in the order of i = 0 to 3, so that if the storage state identification flag F0 is set to 1, the left, middle, right first Seed starting port 16,3,17
Means that at least one prize has been detected (see steps a7 to a13).

If 1 is set to the storage state identification flag F0, the CPU 32 proceeds to step c4, sets 1 to the state storage flag Fa, stores the start of the variable display, and performs the variable display selection processing. Is set to 0 (step c5), and the variable state storage flag Fb defining
A predetermined value is set to the parameters tg to tg (step c6). As shown in FIG. 29, ta to tg are fixed values indicating the switching time of the fluctuation speed of each of the left, middle, and right symbols.

The CPU 32 having set the switching time of the fluctuation speed of each of the left, middle, and right symbols, then sets the left, middle, right, and upper symbol display LE of the dot matrix LED display 22.
Process of continuously incrementing the values of the display indices il, ic, ir, iu indicating the symbols to be displayed in each of D (L), (C), (R), and (U), and changing the symbols at high speed. Is started (step c7), and the timer T is operated to start measuring the elapsed time after the start of the fluctuation display (step c).
8). In addition, actual symbol feed is each symbol display LED
By switching the display output of each line of (L), (C), (R), and (U) every several lines at predetermined intervals, the display is continuously performed as if the symbols flow up and down. Is well-known as a display technique using an LED element or the like, and thus description thereof is omitted. In the case of the embodiment, the reference values of the symbol feed speed of each symbol at the time of high-speed fluctuation, medium-speed fluctuation and low-speed fluctuation are 0.064 seconds / symbol, 0.128 seconds / symbol, and 0.512 seconds / symbol, respectively.

Further, it is not always necessary to use the dot matrix LED display 22 for each of the left, middle, and right symbol displays. Instead, the dot matrix LED display 23 is used.
May be used. Furthermore, if the symbols based on the display indices il, ic, ir are output to both the dot matrix LED display 22 and the dot matrix LED display 23, the symbol can be changed by the three-dimensional display. In the case of the embodiment, the distance from the dot matrix LED display 23 to the reflection surface of the half mirror 24 is shorter than the distance from the dot matrix LED display 22 to the reflection surface of the half mirror 24. When the symbols are output to both the dot matrix LED display 23 and the dots, the dots of the dot matrix LED display 23 appear closer and larger than the dots of the dot matrix LED display 22 overlapping with the dots. The central part of the dot is depressed and displayed three-dimensionally.

The following description is based on the assumption that the dot matrix LED display 22 is used for displaying the left, middle, and right symbols.

As described above, the variable display of the symbols based on the detection of the winning in the left, middle, and right type 1 starting openings 16, 3, 17 is started. The value after ti is not set, i.e., the value that regulates the time of the medium speed and low speed fluctuation of the right symbol display LED (R) and the upper symbol display LED (U) is not set.

In the processing after the next cycle, since the state storage flag Fa has already been set to 1, the CPU 32 as the display control means proceeds to step c9 after executing the determination processing of step c1, and thereafter, the state change flag Fb Is set to the set value ta in accordance with the current value 0
, And steps relating to the high-speed variation of the left, middle, right, and upper symbol display LEDs (L), (C), (R), and (U) until step c1 and steps c9 to c10 are reached. The processing of c11 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display reaches the set value ta while repeatedly executing the high-speed fluctuation processing of each symbol (step c10), the CPU 32 reads the value of the fixed random number storage register R0. Is stored in the determined value storage register Ra (step c12), and FIG.
, The data in the storage state identification flags F1 to F3 and the fixed random number storage registers R1 to R3 are sequentially shifted to the storage state identification flags F0 to F2 and the fixed random number storage registers R0 to R2, and the storage state identification flag F3 Then, 0 is set in the determined random number storage register R3 (step c13).

Next, the CPU 32 determines whether or not the value of the definite value storage register Ra matches the set value 7, ie, whether the left, middle, or right type 1 starting port 16 has been the starting stimulus for the current symbol variation process. , 3, 17 at the time of winning detection, it is determined whether or not the value of the random number storage register for big hit RAN1 matches the set value corresponding to the big hit (step c14), and the value of the fixed value storage register Ra is set to the set value. If they match, left, center,
Right and upper jackpot symbol data storage registers r0a to r3
Left, middle, right, top display symbol storage register r0c
Through r3c (step c15), if the value of the definite value storage register Ra does not match the set value,
Middle, right, top off design data storage registers r0b to r3
Left, middle, right, top display symbol storage register r0c
(Step c16), and the symbols to be displayed on the respective symbol display LEDs when the fluctuation is stopped are determined.

Next, the CPU 32 operates the left symbol display LED.
The value of the display index il relating to the left symbol is changed so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the left display symbol storage register r0c is displayed at the time of the fluctuation stop time tc of (L) (step c17), and the left symbol display is performed. While changing the fluctuation speed of the LED (L) from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed fluctuation (step c)
18) The variable state storage flag Fb is set to 1 (step c19), and the processing in this cycle ends.

Although the value of the display index il of the left symbol display LED (L) at the time of ta is not obvious, the left symbol display LED (L) is not obvious.
(L) The value of the middle speed fluctuation time tb-ta = A and the value of the low speed fluctuation time tc-tb = B of the left symbol display LED (L) are set in advance, and the left symbol display LED (L) Since the medium speed fluctuation speed and the low speed fluctuation speed are constant, only the information of the display index r0c of the symbol to be displayed on the left symbol display LED (L) during the variation stop time tc of the left symbol display LED (L). , The setting change value of the display index il can be obtained.

According to the processing timing of the embodiment, when switching from high-speed fluctuation to medium-speed fluctuation, the current value of the display index il is changed from the display index r0c of the symbol to be displayed on the left symbol display LED (L) when the fluctuation stops. Also, by changing the value of il so that it becomes the display index two symbols before, it is possible to obtain the symbol of r0c at the time of stopping the fluctuation.

In the processing after the next cycle, the CPU 32 proceeds to step c20 after executing the discrimination processing in step c1 and step c9, and thereafter, according to the current value 1 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb, the elapsed time after the start of the fluctuation display. T is the set value t
Until it reaches b, the determination processing of step c1, step c9 and step c20 to step c21, the processing relating to the medium speed fluctuation of the left symbol display LED (L), and the respective middle, right and upper symbol display LEDs (C) , (R), (U)
Is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

In this manner, the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display is set to the set value t while the fluctuation processing of each symbol is repeatedly executed.
When the speed reaches b (step c21), the CPU 32 switches the fluctuation speed of the left symbol display LED (L) from the medium speed fluctuation to the low speed fluctuation (step c23), and sets 2 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c24). ), The process of this cycle ends.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 2, so that the CPU 32
After execution of the discriminating process in steps c9 and c20, the process proceeds to step c25, and thereafter, the step is performed until the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display reaches the set value tc according to the current value 2 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb. c1, step c9,
Step c20 and steps c25 to c2
6, the processing relating to the low-speed fluctuation of the left symbol display LED (L), and the middle, right and upper symbol display LEDs
Step c for high-speed fluctuation of (C), (R), (U)
27 is repeatedly executed in a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value tc in the determination process of step c26, the CP
U32 stops low-speed fluctuation of the left symbol display LED (L) (step c28), sets 3 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c29), and ends the processing of this cycle. When the low-speed change of the left symbol display LED (L) is stopped, the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the left symbol storage register r0c is statically displayed on the left symbol display LED (L). However, if normal display control is disturbed by the influence of external noise or the like, another symbol may be displayed when the variable display is stopped. Even in such a case, since the symbol is displayed based on the data read from the ROM 31 based on the value of the display index il, the relationship between the value of the display index il and the left symbol is Always secured.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 3, so that the CPU 32
After executing the determination processing of step c9, step c20, step c25, and step c30, the process proceeds to step c31,
Hereinafter, steps c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, and steps c30 to c31 until the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display reaches the set value td according to the current value 3 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb.
And the symbol display LEDs (C),
The processing of step c32 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of (R) and (U) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value td in the determination processing of step c31, the CP
U32 is the fluctuation stop time tf of the middle symbol display LED (C).
At time, the value of the display index ic relating to the middle symbol is set and changed so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the middle symbol storage register r1c is displayed (step c33), and the fluctuation speed of the middle symbol display LED (C) is changed. Switching from the high-speed fluctuation to the medium-speed fluctuation (step c34), the fluctuation state storage flag Fb is set to 4 (step c35), and the processing in this cycle ends.

Medium speed change time t of medium symbol display LED (C)
Since the value of e-td = A and the value of the low-speed fluctuation time tf-te = B are the same as in the case of the left symbol display LED (L), the condition for changing the setting of the display index ic is also the left symbol display LED.
As in the case of (L), when switching from the high-speed fluctuation to the medium-speed fluctuation, the current value of the display index ic is to be displayed on the medium symbol display LED (C) when the fluctuation is stopped.
By changing the value of ic so as to be a display index two symbols earlier than 1c, it is possible to obtain a symbol of r1c at the time of stopping the fluctuation.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 4, so that the CPU 32 executes step c1,
After executing the determination processing of step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, and step c36, the process proceeds to step c37, and thereafter, the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display is set according to the current value 4 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb. Value t
Until e is reached, the discriminating processing of step c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30 and steps c36 to c37, the processing relating to the medium speed fluctuation of the middle symbol display LED (C) and the right,
The processing of step c38 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of each of the above symbol display LEDs (R) and (U) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

In this way, the elapsed time T after the start of the variation display is set to the set value t while the variation process of each symbol is repeatedly executed.
e (step c37), the CPU 32 switches the fluctuation speed of the middle symbol display LED (C) from the medium speed fluctuation to the low speed fluctuation (step c39), and sets 5 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c40). ), The process of this cycle ends.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 5, so that the CPU 32
After execution of the determination processing in steps c9, c20, c25, c30, c36, and c41, the process proceeds to step c42, and thereafter, the elapsed time after the start of the fluctuation display according to the current value 5 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb. Until T reaches the set value tf, steps c1,
Step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, steps c41 to c42, and the middle symbol display LED (C)
Processing for low-speed fluctuations of symbols and symbol display LE on the right and top
The processing of step c43 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of D (R) and (U) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value tf in the determination processing of step c42, the CP
U32 stops the low speed fluctuation of the middle symbol display LED (C) (step c44), sets 6 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c45), and ends the processing of this cycle. When the low-speed fluctuation of the middle symbol display LED (C) is stopped, the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the middle symbol storage register r1c is statically displayed on the middle symbol display LED (C). . Further, even when normal display control is hindered by the influence of external noise or the like, the display index ic
The relationship between the value of and the middle symbol is always ensured.

That is, each of the left symbol display LED (R) and the middle symbol display LED (C) starts changing the symbol display.
When the predetermined set times tc and tf have elapsed, they are individually stopped by the processing of the CPU 32.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 6, so that the CPU 32
After executing the discriminating processes of Step c9, Step c20, Step c25, Step c30, Step c36, Step c41, and Step c46, the process proceeds to Step c47, and thereafter, after the start of the variable display according to the current value 6 of the variable state storage flag Fb. Until the elapsed time T reaches the set value tg, the determination processing of steps c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, step c41, and steps c46 to c47, and the right and upper Symbol display LED (R), (U)
Is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value tg in the determination processing of step c47, the CP
U32 is whether or not the current value of the display index il of the left symbol display LED (L) matches the current value of the display index ic of the middle symbol display LED (C), that is, the left symbol for which the fluctuation display is stopped. A comparison is made as to whether the symbol combination of the display LED (L) and the middle symbol display LED (C) satisfies the necessary conditions for the combination of the big hit symbols (step c49), and according to the comparison result, after tg. Symbol change processing, that is, right symbol display L
Various data required for setting the time of the medium speed and low speed fluctuations of the ED (R) will be set.

First, when the determination result of step c49 is false, that is, the stop symbol of the left symbol display LED (L) does not match the stop symbol of the middle symbol display LED (C),
If there is no probability of a big hit, the CPU 32
Indicates the switching time of the fluctuation speed of each of the right and upper symbols th
After setting a predetermined value to the parameters tl to tl (step c50), the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the right display symbol storage register r2c is displayed at the time of the fluctuation stop time ti of the right symbol display LED (R). The value of the display index ir for the right symbol is changed as described above (step c5).
1) The change speed of the right symbol display LED (R) is switched from the high speed change to the medium speed change (step c56), and 7 is set to the change state storage flag Fb (step c5).
7), the processing in this cycle ends.

Medium speed fluctuation time t of the right symbol display LED (R)
Since the value of h-tg = C and the value of the low-speed fluctuation time ti-th = D of the right symbol display LED (R) are fixed, the right symbol display LE at the time of the fluctuation stop time ti of the right symbol display LED (R).
The setting change value of the display index ir can be obtained based only on the information of the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed in D (R). According to the processing timing of the embodiment, when switching from the high-speed fluctuation to the medium-speed fluctuation, the current value of the display index ir is two symbols longer than the symbol display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed on the right symbol display LED (R) when the variation stops. By changing the value of ir so that it becomes the previous display index, r
2c can be obtained.

If the result of the determination in step c49 is true, that is, the stop symbol of the left symbol display LED (L) matches the stop symbol of the middle symbol display LED (C), and the combination of the big hit symbols If the requirements of
32, after setting and changing the current value of the display index ir relating to the right symbol to a specific value 3 (step c52), based on the value of the random number storage register for fluctuation time RAN2 and the information of the display index r2c to be displayed when the fluctuation is stopped. Thus, the parameters from th to tj are selectively set (steps c53 to c53).
Step c55).

That is, the variable time random number storage register RAN
When the value of 2 is 0, RO as shown in Table 6
Based on the selection condition file of M31, the change time C corresponding to the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed when the change is stopped is selected, and tg + C is set as the parameter th (step c).
54) If the value of the random number storage register for fluctuation time RAN2 is 1, the ROM 3 as shown in Table 7 is used.
Based on the selection condition file No. 1, the change time C corresponding to the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed when the change is stopped is selected, and the parameter th is set to tg + C, and the parameter th is set.
To a parameter ti by adding a predetermined constant value to the value of
And the value of tj are set (step c55).

[0096]

[Table 6]

[0097]

[Table 7] Therefore, the value of the random number storage register for fluctuation time RAN2 is 0
And the display index r2 of the symbol to be displayed when the fluctuation stops.
If the value of c is 0, 3.104 s is selected from Table 6 as the variation time C, and the value of the parameter th is tg +
If C = 10.016 s, and if the value of the random number storage register for fluctuation time RAN2 is 1 and the value of the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed when the fluctuation is stopped is 15, the fluctuation time is expressed as C. 11.1.040 s is selected from 7 and the value of the parameter th is tg + C = 17.952 s.

That is, step c54 and step c
The processing in step 55 is performed by setting the fluctuation time at the medium speed and the low speed to be constant as in the processing shown in step c17, step c33, and step c51, and corresponding to the value of the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed when the fluctuation is stopped. Instead of resetting the value of the display index ir at the start of the fluctuation, the value of the display index ir at the start of the medium speed fluctuation is determined to a specific value and corresponds to the value of the display index r2c of the symbol to be displayed when the fluctuation stops. To set medium and low speed fluctuation times.

As shown in Tables 6 and 7, the ROM
Reference numeral 30 denotes a variable time storage for the variable time for displaying the stopped symbol of the display index r2c by making the symbol display of the right symbol display LED (R) make a full round after the variable display of the middle symbol display LED (C) is stopped. While the value is stored in correspondence with the value 0 of the register RAN2, the value 1 of the random number storage register for variation time RAN2 is stored in the right symbol display LED (R) after the variation display of the middle symbol display LED (C) is stopped. Of the display index r2c to display the stop symbol of the display index r2c by making the symbol display substantially twice, and which of the variable display times is selected and set,
The current value of the variable time random number storage register RAN2 and the value of the display index r2c indicating the stop symbol are determined.

In each of Tables 6 and 7, as the value of the display index r2c indicating the stop symbol increases, the fluctuation display time also simply increases. On the player's side, the present value of the fluctuation time random number storage register RAN2 is used. It is very difficult to estimate the stop symbol by simply observing the length of the fluctuation time because it is not possible to recognize whether the symbol display makes a full cycle or a full cycle. .

Note that the values of the fluctuation time shown in Tables 6 and 7 are examples based on the processing timing of the embodiment, and do not limit the fluctuation time and the like.

Then, C in which the parameters from th to tj are set in the processing of step c54 or step c55
PU32 resets the reference value of the symbol feed speed at the time of middle speed fluctuation to 0.128 seconds / symbol to 0.256 seconds / symbol, sets the two symbol reach flag, and sets the right symbol display L
After changing the fluctuation speed of the ED (R) from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed fluctuation (step c56), 7 is set to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c57), and the processing of this cycle is ended.

As a result of the variable state storage flag Fb being set to 7, in the processing after the next cycle, step c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c
30, step c36, step c41, step c4
6, after executing the determination processing in step c58, the CPU 32 proceeds to step c59, and thereafter, sets the fluctuation state storage flag Fb
Step c1 and Step c until the elapsed time T after the start of the variable display reaches the set value th in accordance with the current value 7 of
9, Step c20, Step c25, Step c3
0, step c36, step c41, step c46
And the discrimination processing of steps c58 to c59, the medium speed fluctuation of the right symbol display LED (R) and the upper symbol display L
The processing of step c60 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of ED (U) is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

If the two symbol reach flag is detected in the process of step c60, the left, middle, and right symbol display outputs are given to the dot matrix LED display 22 and the dot matrix LED display 23, respectively. The output is switched at each cycle, and the left, middle, and right symbol displays are changed in perspective. When the two symbols reach, the high speed fluctuation speed of the upper symbol and the middle speed fluctuation speed of the right symbol are each 0.064 seconds /
Since the pattern is 0.256 seconds / symbol, the cycle of the switching process is preferably a multiple of these values, for example, 0.512 seconds. If the two symbol reach flag is not detected, such processing is not performed.

In this manner, the elapsed time T after the start of the variation display is set to the set value t while the variation process of each symbol is repeatedly executed.
When h is reached (step c59), the CPU 32 switches the fluctuation speed of the right symbol display LED (R) from the medium speed fluctuation to the low speed fluctuation (step c61), and sets 8 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb (step c62). ), The process of this cycle ends.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 8, so that the CPU 32 executes step c1,
After execution of the discriminating processes of step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, step c41, step c46, step c58, and step c63, the process proceeds to step c64, and thereafter, according to the current value 8 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb. Steps c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, step c41, step c46, step c58, and steps c63 to c3 until the elapsed time T after the start of the variable display reaches the set value ti. The determination process of step c64 and the process of step c65 concerning the low-speed fluctuation of the right symbol display LED (R) and the high-speed fluctuation of the upper symbol display LED (U) and the switching display by detecting the two symbol reach flag are repeated at a predetermined processing cycle. Will be executed.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value ti in the determination process of step c64, the CP
U32 stops the low speed fluctuation of the right symbol display LED (R) (step c66), sets 9 to the fluctuation state storage flag Fb, resets the two symbol reach flag (step c67), and ends the processing of this cycle. I do. Right symbol display L
When the low-speed fluctuation of ED (R) is stopped, the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the right display symbol storage register r2c is statically displayed on the right middle symbol display LED (R). Further, even when normal display control is hindered by external noise or the like, the relationship between the value of the display index ir and the right symbol is always ensured.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 9, so that the CPU 32 executes steps c1,
After execution of the discriminating processes of step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, step c41, step c46, step c58, step c63, and step c68, the process proceeds to step c69, and thereafter, the current value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb In accordance with No. 9, steps c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, step c41, step c46, step c58, step c58, until the elapsed time T after the start of the variable display reaches the set value tj. The determination processing of step c63 and steps c68 to c69 and the processing of step c70 relating to the high-speed fluctuation of the upper symbol display LED (U) are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T reaches the set value tj in the determination processing of step c69, the CP
U32 determines whether or not the current value of the display index il of the left symbol display LED (L) matches the current value of the display index ic of the middle symbol display LED (C), that is, the finally displayed left. Stop symbol and middle symbol display LED of symbol display LED (L)
Whether or not the stop symbol of (C) matches (step c)
71) and the display index i of the left symbol display LED (L)
Whether the current value of l and the current value of the display index ir of the right symbol display LED (R) match, ie, the stop symbol and the middle symbol display of the finally displayed left symbol display LED (L). L
It is determined whether or not the stop symbol of the ED (C) and the stop symbol of the right symbol display LED (R) all match (step c75), and in accordance with the symbol mismatch, the symbol variation process after tj is performed. Various necessary data will be set.

First, when the determination result of step c71 is false, that is, when the stop symbol of the left symbol display LED (L) does not match the stop symbol of the middle symbol display LED (C), The CPU 32 determines the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index of the upper display symbol storage register r3c at the time of the fluctuation stop time tl of the upper symbol display LED (U) based on the fixed values tk and tl of the fluctuation time set in the process of step c50. The value of the display index iu relating to the upper symbol is set and changed so as to be displayed (step c72), and the fluctuation speed of the upper symbol display LED (U) is switched from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed fluctuation (step c73). The state storage flag Fb is set to 10 (step c74), and the processing in this cycle ends.

In this case, the value of the middle symbol fluctuation time tk−tj = E of the upper symbol display LED (U) and the upper symbol display LED (U)
Since the value of the low-speed fluctuation time tl-tk = F is fixed, the display index r3 of the symbol to be displayed on the upper symbol display LED (U) during the fluctuation stop time tl of the upper symbol display LED (U).
The setting change value of the display index iu can be obtained based only on the information of c. In this case, left symbol display LED
As in the case of (L) and the middle symbol display LED (C), the value of the display index iu is changed to a value two symbols earlier than the display index r3c to be displayed when the fluctuation is stopped.

If the result of the determination in step c71 is true and the result of the determination in step c75 is false, that is, the stop symbol of the left symbol display LED (L) and the middle symbol display LED (C) If only the stop symbols of step c) match, the CPU 32 proceeds to step c54 or step c54.
The fluctuation times tk and tl are determined based on the value of tj set at 55 and the predetermined medium speed fluctuation time E and predetermined low speed fluctuation time F.
Is set (step c76), and the upper symbol display LED (U) is set.
Upper display symbol storage register r3c at the time of fluctuation stop time tl
The value of the display index iu relating to the upper symbol is set and changed so that the symbol corresponding to the internal processing index is displayed (step c72). Also in this case, the value of the medium speed fluctuation time E of the upper symbol display LED (U) and the value of the low speed fluctuation time F of the upper symbol display LED (U) are fixed. By changing the setting of the display index iu to a value two symbols before the power display index r3c, a desired stop symbol can be obtained.

On the other hand, when both the determination results of step c71 and step c75 become true, that is, the stop symbol of the left symbol display LED (L) and the middle symbol display LED
If the stop symbol of (C) and the stop symbol of the right symbol display LED (R) all match, the CPU 32 proceeds to step c.
The process proceeds to 77 to change the current value of the display index iu relating to the upper symbol to a specific value 1 and then display the symbol to be displayed when the fluctuation is stopped based on the selection condition of the ROM 31 as shown in Table 8. The variable time E corresponding to the index r3c is selected, tj + E is set as the parameter tk, and a predetermined constant value is added to the value of the parameter tk to set the value of the parameter tl (step c78).

[0114]

[Table 8] The processing of step c77 and step c78 determines the value of the display index iu at the start of the middle speed fluctuation to a specific value, and changes the medium speed and the low speed corresponding to the value of the display index r3c of the symbol to be displayed at the time of the fluctuation stop. The time is set, and the processing method is the same as that in step c52 and step c5.
4, similar to the processing of step c55, except that the display index r
The reference of the symbol feed speed at the time of medium speed fluctuation corresponding to the point where a single variable display time is selected according to the value of 3c and the coincidence of the three stop symbols (L), (C) and (R) Value 0.1
The difference is that 0.256 seconds / symbol is set instead of 28 seconds / symbol.

Note that the value of the fluctuation time E shown in Table 8 is an example based on the processing timing of the embodiment, and does not limit the fluctuation time and the like.

Then, in the process of step c78, tk, t
The CPU 32 having set the parameter of l, the upper symbol display L
The fluctuation speed of the ED (U) is switched from the high speed fluctuation to the medium speed fluctuation (step c73), and the fluctuation state storage flag F
b is set to 10 (step c74), and the processing in this cycle is completed.

As a result of the variable state storage flag Fb being set to 10, in the processing after the next cycle, step c1, step c9, step c20, step c25, step c30, step c36, step c41, step c
46, step c58, step c63, step c6
8. After the execution of the determination processing in step c79, the CPU 32 proceeds to step c80, and thereafter, the fluctuation state storage flag Fb
Step c1, Step c9, Step c20, Step c25, Step c3 until the elapsed time T after the start of the variable display reaches the set value tk in accordance with the current value 10 of.
0, step c36, step c41, step c4
6, Step c58, Step c63, Step c68
In addition, the determination processing of steps c79 to c80 and the processing of step c81 relating to the middle speed fluctuation of the upper symbol display LED (U) are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time T after the start of the fluctuation display reaches the set value tk while the middle speed fluctuation processing of the upper symbol is repeatedly executed in this manner (step c80), the CPU 32 switches the upper symbol display LED (U). The change speed is switched from the medium speed change to the low speed change (step c82), and 11 is set to the change state storage flag Fb (step c83).
The processing in this cycle ends.

In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 11, so that the CPU 32 proceeds to step c.
1, step c9, step c20, step c25,
After execution of the discriminating processes of step c30, step c36, step c41, step c46, step c58, step c63, step c68, step c79, and step c84, the process proceeds to step c85, and thereafter, according to the current value 11 of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb. Step c until the elapsed time T after the start of the variable display reaches the set value tl.
1, step c9, step c20, step c25,
Step c30, step c36, step c41, step c46, step c58, step c63, step c68, step c79, steps c84 to c85, and the upper symbol display LED (U)
The processing of step c86 relating to the low-speed fluctuation is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

Next, when the elapsed time T reaches the set value tl in the determination process of step c85, the CP
U32 stops the low-speed fluctuation of the upper symbol display LED (U) (step c87), and statically displays the symbol corresponding to the index stored in the upper symbol storage register r3c. Also,
Even when normal display control is hindered by external noise or the like, the relationship between the value of the display index iu and the upper symbol is always ensured.

Then, the CPU 32, which has finished displaying all symbols, displays the left, middle, right and upper symbol display LEDs (L), based on the current values of the display indices il, ic, ir and iu.
It is determined whether or not the combination of (C), (R), and (U) matches the combination of winning symbols as shown in Table 5 (step c88). The state storage flag Fb is set to 12 (step c89), the lighting switching cycle is set in the timer Ta, and the timer is started (step c90), and the switching count storage register C is initialized (step c91). If it is not a combination of winning symbols, the values of the state storage flag Fa and the fluctuation state storage flag Fb are initialized (step c92, step c9).
3), the processing of this cycle ends.

In this embodiment, the step a at the time of detecting a winning in the left, middle and right type 1 starting openings 16, 3 and 17 is described.
At the time when the current value of the big hit random number storage register RAN1 is stored in the fixed random number storage register Ri in the process of 12, whether or not a big hit has occurred is determined by whether or not the value of the fixed random number storage register Ri matches the set value 7. At the time when the middle speed fluctuation display of the left symbol display LED (L) is started in the process of step c17, the combination of the big hit symbol and the combination of the off symbol are determined by the processes of steps c14 to c16. However, it is conceivable that normal display control is disturbed by the influence of external noise or the like, and that the finally displayed symbols are deviated.

However, in the present embodiment, in determining the final symbol combination, the display indices il, ic, ir, iu corresponding to the symbols when the variable display is stopped are used instead of the symbol combinations determined in advance. Since the present value is used, it is possible to make an accurate determination corresponding to the combination of the actually displayed symbols, even when the displayed symbols are out of order.

In the embodiment, the probability of a big hit occurring is
This is a value obtained by dividing the range of the set value corresponding to the big hit by the range of the random number storage register for big hit RAN1. In this example, the set value corresponding to the big hit is only 7, and the value of the random number storage register for big hit RAN1 is Possible values are 0 to 204
Is an integer, the probability of a jackpot occurring is 1/205
(0.975 / 200). Therefore, Tables 1 to 4
Has four rotating drums that represent each symbol shown in
The hit probability 70/14400 (0.972 / 200) of the mechanical rotary drum type symbol display device, in which the conditions shown in Table 5 are set as a combination of the hit symbols, substantially coincides with each other. By changing the value of the comparison value used in step (c) or setting the value of the comparison value used in the determination processing in step c14 as an area, the probability of occurrence of a big hit can be arbitrarily manipulated.

For example, assuming that the value of the comparison value used in the discriminating process in step a2 is 210, the probability of occurrence of a big hit is 1/210 (0.952 / 200), and is used in the discriminating process in step c14. Set the value X of the comparison value to 5
If the area is set as <X <8, the probability of a big hit occurring is 2/205 (1.951 / 200).

Such an operation only affects the probability of a big hit, and the contents of the big hit symbol and the off-hit symbol itself are processed by the task 2, and the left, middle, right and upper big hit symbol data register r0a are stored. To r3a and left,
Middle, right, top off design data storage registers r0b to r3
Since each of b is set at random, a combination of specific symbols does not easily appear, and there is no sense of incongruity.

When the final combination of the displayed symbols is a big hit, the value of the fluctuation state storage flag Fb becomes 12 in the processing after the next cycle, so that the CPU 32 executes step c1, step c9, step c20, Step c2
5, Step c30, Step c36, Step c4
1, Step c46, Step c58, Step c6
3, step c68, step c79, step c84
After the execution of the determination process, the process proceeds to step c94, and thereafter, every time the set time of the timer Ta elapses, the display switching process of steps c95 to c98 is repeatedly executed.

After starting the display switching process, the CPU 32 increments the value of the switching count storage register C (step c95), and then determines whether or not the number of executions of the display switching process has reached the set value N (step c96). If the number of times of execution of the display switching process is within the range of the set value N, the symbol display LED (L),
The display output of the big hit symbol is alternately switched between (C), (R) and the symbol display LED (l), (c), (r) of the dot matrix LED display 23, so that the big hit symbol becomes far and near. It is displayed as fluctuating (step c9)
7) The lighting switching cycle is reset in the timer Ta (step c98), and this display switching process is repeatedly executed until the value of the switching frequency storage register C reaches the set value N.

Then, when it is detected in the determination processing in step c96 that the number of executions of the display switching processing has reached the set value N, the CPU 32 initializes the values of the switching number storage register C and the fluctuation state storage flag Fb ( Step c
99, step 100), 2 is set to the state storage flag Fa (step 101), and execution of the processing of task 4 relating to opening of the special winning opening 15 is permitted. When the value of the switching frequency storage register C reaches the set value N, the big hit symbol display is returned to the dot matrix LED display 23 side.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an outline of the processing of task 4. When 2 is set in the state storage flag Fa, the CPU 32 proceeds to step d2 after executing the determination processing in step d1, and starts opening / closing the attacker-shaped large winning opening 15 driven to open / close by a solenoid or the like. Until the ending condition of the opening / closing operation based on the elapse of the opening time or the detection of the winning number of game balls to the special winning opening 15 is satisfied, the opening / closing process of step d2 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle, and the step d3 When the end condition is satisfied in the determination process of step (d), the special winning opening 15 is closed and the one opening operation is ended in the process of step d4, and the value of the state storage flag Fa is initialized in the process of step d5.

As a result of the initialization of the value of the state storage flag Fa in the processing of task 3 or task 4, the determination results of step c1 and step c2 after the next cycle are both false, and the value of the storage state identification flag F0 is reset. This is detected by the CPU 32 (step c3).

Accordingly, the left, right, and middle first-class starting ports 16,
When a random number is newly stored in the definite random number storage register R0 due to the detection of the winning of the third or third time, or when the values stored in the definite random number storage register R1 and thereafter are shifted by plural detection of the winning. Means that the symbol matching process again by the process after step c4, including the first time,
It will be started up to four times in a row.
