That is, a fraud detection command is set when a fraud occurs when the permanent magnet is brought close to the start port 26, and a fraud resolution command is set when a fraud is resolved when the permanent magnet is moved away from the start port 26.

  In step S109, the CPU 61 detects the presence or absence of a full tank signal from the full sensor 45 via the sensor circuit 64. For example, in a state where the game balls are fully stored in the lower plate 6, it is determined in step S109 that there is a full tank signal, and in step S110, the setting state of the full tank flag in the flag storage unit 153 is determined. Here, when it is determined that the full tank flag in the flag storage unit 153 is reset to the OFF state, the process proceeds to step S111, and a full tank command is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S112, and the setting result of the full command is recorded in the command storage unit 156.

When step S112 in FIG. 27 records the full command setting result in the command storage unit 156, the process proceeds to step S113, and the full storage flag in the flag storage unit 153 is set to the on state.

The CPU 61 determines that there is no full tank signal in step S109 when the game ball is not fully stored in the lower tray 6, and determines the full flag setting state of the flag storage unit 153 in step S114. Here, when it is determined that the full tank flag of the flag storage unit 153 is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S115, and a full tank cancel command is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S116, and the setting result of the full tank elimination command is recorded in the command storage unit 156. The recording result of the full tank elimination command in the command storage unit 156 is transmitted to the effect control circuit 80 on the condition that the game game flag is reset to the off state in the command transmission process in step S17 immediately after, When the CPU 61 records the setting result of the full tank elimination command in the command storage unit 156 in step S116 of FIG. 27, the CPU 61 proceeds to step S117 and resets the full tank flag of the flag storage unit 153 to the OFF state.

When a determination result of losing is selected here, the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 153 is cleared to OFF in step S137, and “1” is set in the special figure process flag in the flag storage unit 153 in step S143. For example, when the detection result of the random counter MR1 is “30”, the big hit determination result is selected from the big hit determination table at the time of probability change, and the determination result out of the normal big hit determination table is selected.

When the CPU 61 selects the big hit determination result in step S136, the big hit flag of the flag storage unit 153 is set to ON in step S138, and the measured value of the random counter MR4 for probability variation determination is acquired from the counter storage unit 155 in step S139. To do. Then, the process proceeds to step S140, and the acquisition result of the random counter MR4 is compared with each of the five probability variation values “1, 3, 5, 7, 9”. Each of these five probability variation values “1 to 9” is recorded in advance in the ROM 62, and the CPU 61 obtains the same result as one of the five probability variation values “1 to 9” in step S140. If it is determined, the process proceeds to step S141, and the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 153 is set to the on state. Then, the process proceeds to step S143, and “1” is set in the special figure process flag of the flag storage unit 153.

[2-6-2] Special Symbol Variation Start Processing Each of FIGS. 30 and 31 shows details of the special symbol variation start processing in step S122. This special symbol variation start process is executed when the special symbol process flag is set to “1”, and the CPU 61 determines the setting state of the big hit flag of the flag storage unit 153 in step S151 of FIG. To do. Here, when it is determined that the big hit flag of the flag storage unit 153 is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S152, and the setting state of the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 153 is determined.

  When the CPU 61 determines in step S152 that the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 153 is set to the on state, the CPU 61 proceeds to step S153. Here, the mode of the special symbol when the fluctuation is stopped is set to the probability variation jackpot symbol “7”, and the probability variation jackpot symbol “7” is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 152. Then, the process proceeds to step S154, and the variation pattern table for jackpot shown in FIG.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S152 of FIG. 30 that the probability variation flag of the flag storage unit 153 has been reset to the off state, the CPU 61 proceeds to step S155. Here, the mode of the special symbol fluctuation stop is set to the normal jackpot symbol “3”, and the normal jackpot symbol “3” is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 152. Then, the process proceeds to step S154, and the variation pattern table for jackpot shown in FIG.

  When the CPU 61 determines in step S151 in FIG. 30 that the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 153 is off, the CPU 61 selects the out symbol table in FIG. 10 from the ROM 62 in step S156, and the counter storage unit 155 in step S157 in FIG. The measurement result of the random counter MR5 is acquired from step S158, and the process proceeds to step S158. Here, an out symbol corresponding to the acquisition result of the random counter MR5 is selected from the out symbol table, and the selection result of the out symbol is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 152. For example, when the acquisition result of the random counter MR5 is “50”, the off symbol “1” is selected, and the off symbol “1” is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 152.

  When the CPU 61 records the symbol in the special symbol storage unit 152 in step S158, the CPU 61 acquires the measurement value of the random counter MR2 from the counter storage unit 155 in step S159, and the acquisition result of the random counter MR2 is recorded in the ROM 62 in advance in step S160. Each of the five outlier reach values “0, 1, 2, 3, 4” is compared. When it is determined that the acquisition result of the random counter MR2 is the same as any of the five outreach values “0 to 4”, in step S161, the fluctuation pattern table for outreach shown in FIG. 12 is selected, and it is determined that the acquisition result of the random counter MR2 is different from any of the five outlier reach values “0 to 4”. Select the variation pattern table.

  When the CPU 61 selects any one of the variation pattern table for jackpot, the variation pattern table for outreach and the variation pattern table for complete loss, the measured value of the random counter MR3 is acquired from the counter storage unit 155 in step S163 of FIG. To do. In step S164, a variation pattern corresponding to the acquisition result of the random counter MR3 is selected from the variation pattern table selection result, and a variation start command corresponding to the variation pattern selection result is set from the variation start command table of FIG. For example, when the variation pattern “reach A big hit” is selected from the big hit variation pattern table shown in FIG. 12B, the EXT data “11 (” corresponding to the variation pattern “reach A big hit” is selected from the variation start command table of FIG. h) ”is selected, and the change start command # 12“ 8011 (h) ”is set based on the EXT data“ 11 (h) ”and the MODE“ 80 (h) ”.

  When the CPU 61 sets the change start command in step S164 of FIG. 30, the CPU 61 records the change start command setting result in the command storage unit 156 in step S165. The recording result of the variation start command in the command storage unit 156 is transmitted to the effect control circuit 80 in the command transmission process in the next step S17, and the CPU 61 sends the variation start command to the command storage unit 156 in step S165 of FIG. When the setting result is recorded, the process proceeds to step S166, and the symbol information command corresponding to the recording result of the special symbol storage unit 152 is set. For example, when the probability variation big hit symbol “7” is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 152, the symbol information command “9000 (h)” for probability variation big hit is set, and the normal symbol hit symbol “3” is recorded in the special symbol storage unit 152.

The recording result of the symbol information command in the command storage unit 156 is transmitted to the effect control circuit 80 in the command transmission process of step S17 immediately after that, and the CPU 61 sends the symbol information command to the command storage unit 156 in step S167 of FIG. When the setting result is recorded, the process proceeds to step S168, and the variation display time corresponding to the setting result of the variation start command is selected from the variation start command table of FIG. The time timer MT1 is set as an initial value. For example, when the setting result of the change start command is change start command # 12 “8011 (h)”, the change display time “11000” is selected, and the change display time “11000” is set in the change time timer MT1.

Then, the process proceeds to step S183, and the setting state of the game monitoring flag in the flag storage unit 153 is determined. For example, when any of the change start commands # 41 and # 42 is set in the special symbol change start process, it is determined in step S183 that the game monitoring flag in the flag storage unit 153 is set to the on state, and the process proceeds to step S184. Transition.

  In step S184, the CPU 61 compares the subtraction result of the variable time timer MT1 in the timer storage unit 154 with the game start time GS1 recorded in advance in the ROM 62. The game start time GS1 coincides with the time at which display of the game game video is started in the decorative symbol game. When the CPU 61 determines “MT1 = GS1” in step S184, the process proceeds to step S185. Here, the game game flag in the flag storage unit 153 is set to the on state, and it is recorded that the video of the game game is displayed.

  When proceeding to step S186, the CPU 61 compares the subtraction result of the variable time timer MT1 in the timer storage unit 154 with the game end time GE1 recorded in advance in the ROM 62. The game end time GE1 coincides with the time at which the display of the game game video ends in the decorative symbol game. When the CPU 61 determines “MT1 = GE1” in step S186, the process proceeds to step S187. Here, the game game flag in the flag storage unit 153 is cleared to the off state, and in step S188, the game monitoring flag in the flag storage unit 153 is cleared to the off state. That is, the game game flag is set to an on state only during a period during which the video of the game game is displayed during the decorative symbol game.

In step S189, the CPU 61 compares the subtraction result of the variable time timer MT1 in the timer storage unit 154 with “0”. Here, when “MT1 = 0” is detected, the end of the special symbol game is determined, and a variable stop command is set in step S190. Then, the process proceeds to step S191, and the setting result of the change stop command is recorded in the command storage unit 156. The recording result of the variable stop command in the command storage unit 156 is transmitted to the effect control circuit 80 in the command transmission process in the next step S17, and the CPU 61 sends the variable stop command to the command storage unit 156 in step S191 of FIG.

[2-6-4] Special symbol fluctuation stop process FIG. 33 shows details of the special symbol fluctuation stop process in step S124. This special symbol variation stop process is executed when the special symbol process flag is set to “3”, and the CPU 61 stops the special symbol variation display in step S201. The special symbol variation stop is performed based on the special symbol setting result recorded in the special symbol storage unit 152. When the probability variation big hit is determined, the special symbol is stopped and displayed with the probability variation big hit symbol “7”. When the big hit is determined, the special symbol is normally stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol “3”, and when either the release reach or the complete release is determined, the special symbol is released and the symbols “0”, “1”, “2”, “4” are displayed. The display is stopped at any one of “5”, “6”, “8”, and “9”.

When the CPU 61 finishes displaying the variation of the special symbol in step S201, the CPU 61 sets an initial value of the wait time in the wait time timer MT2 of the timer storage unit 154 in step S202, and sets the special process flag in the flag storage unit 154 to “ 4 ”is set. The initial value of the wait time (2.0 sec) is recorded in advance in the ROM 62, and when the special symbol game is put on hold, the next time after the wait time elapses after the special symbol game is ended. The special symbol game is started.

Here, when it is determined that the big hit flag in the flag storage unit 153 is cleared to the OFF state, the process proceeds to step S214, and “0” is set to the special figure process flag in the flag storage unit 153.

When the CPU 61 determines in step S213 that the big hit flag of the flag storage unit 153 is set to the ON state, the CPU 61 sets an initial value “0” in the big hit round counter MN1 of the counter storage unit 155 in step S215. The jackpot round counter MN1 measures the number of continuations of the jackpot round. When the CPU 61 initializes the jackpot round counter MN1 of the counter storage unit 155 in step S215, the CPU 61 proceeds to step S216 and proceeds to the first jackpot round command “ B000 (h) "is set. Then, the process proceeds to step S217, and the setting result of the first big hit round command “B000 (h)” is recorded in the command storage unit 156. The recording result of the first big hit round command in this command storage unit 156 is transmitted to the effect control circuit 80 in the command transmission process of step S17 immediately after that, and the CPU 61 stores it in the command storage unit 156 in step S217 of FIG. When the setting result of the first big hit round command is recorded, the process proceeds to step S218, and “5” is set to the special figure process flag of the flag storage unit 153.
[2-6-6] Jackpot Game Processing FIG. 35 shows details of the jackpot game processing in step S126. This jackpot game process is executed when the special figure process flag is set to “5”, and the CPU 61 executes the jackpot round process in step S221. In this big hit round process, the special prize opening 29 is opened until the upper limit value (for example, 10) game balls are won in the special prize opening 29 or the opening time of the special prize opening 29 reaches the upper limit value (for example, 30 sec). The CPU 61 closes the special winning opening 29 when it is determined in the jackpot round processing of step S221 that the upper limit game ball has won the special winning opening 29 or the opening time of the special winning opening 29 has reached the upper limit. In step S222, it is determined that the big hit round has ended.

  When the CPU 61 determines in step S222 that the big hit round has ended, the unit value “1” recorded in advance in the ROM 62 is added to the big hit round counter MN1 in the counter storage unit 155 in step S223. In step S224, the interval command “B100 (h)” is set, and in step S225, the setting result of the interval command is recorded in the command storage unit 156. The recording result of the interval command in the command storage unit 156 is transmitted to the effect control circuit 80 in the command transmission process in the next step S17, and the CPU 61 sets the interval command in the command storage unit 156 in step S225 of FIG. When the result is recorded, the process proceeds to step S226.

To do.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S222 that the big hit round has not ended, the CPU 61 compares the measurement result of the big hit round counter MN1 with the set value “14” recorded in advance in the ROM 62 in step S228. For example, during the final 15th big hit round, “MN1 = 14” is determined in step S228, and in step S229, the unit time ΔT is subtracted from the measured value of the big hit round time timer MT4 in the timer storage unit 154. The jackpot round time timer MT4 of the timer storage unit 154 is initialized when the final 15th jackpot round is started in the interval process of FIG. 36, and the CPU 61 executes the timer storage unit 154 in step S229 of FIG. The remaining time of the fifteenth jackpot round is measured based on subtracting the jackpot roundtime timer MT4.

  When the CPU 61 subtracts the big hit round time timer MT4 of the timer storage unit 154 at step S229, the CPU 61 compares the subtraction result of the big hit round time timer MT4 of the timer storage unit 154 with the game start time GS2 recorded in advance in the ROM 62 at step S230. This game start time GS2 coincides with the time at which video display of game games starts in the fifteenth big hit round, and when CPU 61 determines “MT4 = GS2” in step S230, the process proceeds to step S231. Here, the game game flag in the flag storage unit 153 is set to the on state, and it is recorded that the video of the game game is displayed.

In step S232, the CPU 61 compares the subtraction result of the big hit round time timer MT4 in the timer storage unit 154 with the game end time GE2 recorded in advance in the ROM 62. This game end time GE2 coincides with the time when video display of the game game ends in the fifteenth big hit round. When the CPU 61 determines “MT4 = GE2” in step S232, the process proceeds to step S233, and the flag The game game flag in the storage unit 153 is cleared to the off state. That is, the game game flag is set to an on state only during a period in which a video of the game game is displayed during the big hit game.
[2-6-7] Interval Processing FIG. 36 shows details of the interval processing in step S127. This interval process is executed when the special process flag is set to “6”, and the CPU 61 executes the unit time ΔT recorded in advance in the ROM 62 from the interval time timer MT3 of the timer storage unit 154 in step S241. The remaining interval time is measured by subtracting.

  When the CPU 61 subtracts the interval time timer MT3 of the timer storage unit 154 in step S241, the CPU 61 compares the subtraction result of the interval time timer MT3 of the timer storage unit 154 with the limit value “0” recorded in advance in the ROM 62 in step S242. If “MT3 = 0” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S243, and the big hit round counter MN1 in the counter storage unit 155 is compared with the final value “15”.

  When the CPU 61 determines “MN1 <final value” in step S243, it sets a big hit round command in step S244. This jackpot round command is set according to the jackpot round counter MN1 of the counter storage unit 155. For example, when “MN = 1”, the second jackpot round command “B001 (h)” is set, and “ When MN = 14 ”, the final 15th big hit round command“ B00E (h) ”is set.

  When the CPU 61 sets a big hit round command in step S244, it records the big hit round command setting result in the command storage unit 156 in step S245.

When the setting result is recorded, the process proceeds to step S246, and the measurement result of the big hit round counter MN1 in the counter storage unit 155 is compared with the set value “14” recorded in advance in the ROM 62. For example, except immediately before the final 15th big hit round is started, it is determined that “MN1 = 14” is not satisfied in step S246, and “5” is set in the special figure process flag of the flag storage unit 153 in step S248.

As shown in FIG. 56 (c), the right limit value Max is set at the right end in the display area of the decorative symbol display 49, and the target pattern 171 is horizontal from the left limit position to the right limit position. Move linearly to

  When the CPU 81 determines in step S598 in FIG. 54 that the right flag in the flag storage unit 162 has been reset to an off state, the CPU 81 transmits a left movement command to the display control circuit 90 in step S603. When the display control circuit 90 receives the left movement command, it sets the target position of the target picture data in accordance with the left movement command, and changes the display position of the target picture data to the setting result of the target position so that the target picture 171 Displays an image that moves from the current position to the target position. This target position setting process is performed by subtracting a predetermined unit amount ΔX from the X coordinate of the current position of the target pattern data, and the target pattern 171 is moved leftward by the unit amount ΔX in step S603. To do.

  When the CPU 81 transmits a left movement command in step S603, the CPU 81 updates the current position of the target picture data based on subtracting the unit value “1” from the target position counter SN1 of the counter storage unit 164 in step S604. Then, the process proceeds to step S605, and the subtraction result of the target position counter SN1 in the counter storage unit 164 is compared with the left limit value “0” recorded in advance in the ROM 82. If “SN1 = 0” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S606, and the right flag of the flag storage unit 162 is set to the on state. That is, when the right flag of the flag storage unit 162 is set to the on state when the movement flag is on, a right movement command is transmitted from the CPU 81 to the display control circuit 90 every time a timer interrupt occurs, and the flag storage unit 162 When the right flag is reset to the off state when the movement flag is on, a left movement command is transmitted from the CPU 81 to the display control circuit 90 each time a timer interrupt occurs, so that (b) to (c) in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, an image in which the target pattern 171 reciprocates linearly between the left limit position and the right limit position is displayed.

  When the CPU 81 proceeds to step S607 in FIG. 54, the CPU 81 determines the setting state of the firing flag in the flag storage unit 162. This firing flag is reset to the off state in the initial setting process in step S402 in FIG. 40, and the CPU 81 determines in step S607 in FIG. 54 that the firing flag in the flag storage unit 162 has been reset to the off state. If YES in step S608, the flow advances to step S608, and the measurement result of the variable time timer ST1 in the timer storage unit 163 is compared with the operation limit time recorded in advance in the ROM 82. This operation time limit is a time limit for switching each of the left switch 52 and the right switch 53 from the valid state to the invalid state, and is set shorter than the game end time GE1 ′.

  If the CPU 81 determines that “ST1 = operation limit time” is not satisfied in step S608, the CPU 81 determines whether or not there is an ON signal from the left switch 52 in step S609, and determines whether or not there is an ON signal from the right switch 53 in step S610. . For example, when the player operates the left switch 52 before the operation limit time elapses, the CPU 81 determines in step S609 that there is an ON signal from the left switch 52, and the player switches the right switch 53 before the operation limit time elapses. When the CPU 81 is operated, the CPU 81 determines in step S610 that there is an ON signal from the right switch 53.

  When the CPU 81 determines in step S609 that there is an ON signal from the left switch 52 or determines in step S610 that there is an ON signal from the right switch 53, the CPU 81 sets the firing flag of the flag storage unit 162 to an ON state in step S611. To do. In step S612, an initial display command for the bullet pattern 173 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. In step S613, an initial value “0” recorded in advance in the ROM 82 is set in the bullet position counter SN2 of the counter storage unit 164. When the display control circuit 90 receives the initial display command of the bullet pattern 173, it detects the bullet pattern data from the VROM and displays the detection result of the bullet pattern data at a predetermined initial position. This bullet pattern data is for displaying the bullet pattern 173 and is displayed in front of the video data corresponding to the variation start command # 41 or the variation start command # 42. FIG. 56D shows an image in which the bullet pattern 173 is displayed at the initial position. The initial position of the bullet pattern 173 is set above the cannon pattern 172.

  When the firing flag of the flag storage unit 162 is turned on, the CPU 81 proceeds from step S607 in FIG. 54 to step S617 in FIG. 55 and transmits a forward command to the display control circuit 90. When the display control circuit 90 receives the forward command, it sets the target position of the bullet pattern data in accordance with the forward command, and changes the display position of the bullet pattern data to the target position setting result, so that the bullet pattern 173 becomes the current position. A video that moves from the target position to the target position is displayed. This target position setting process is performed by adding a predetermined unit amount ΔY to the Y coordinate of the current position of the bullet pattern data, and the bullet pattern 173 is moved upward by the unit amount ΔY in step S617. To do. That is, since the forward command is transmitted from the CPU 81 to the display control circuit 90 every time a timer interrupt occurs when the firing flag of the flag storage unit 162 is set to the on state with the on state of the movement flag, As shown in e), an image in which the bullet pattern 173 moves upward while the target pattern 171 moves in the left-right direction is displayed.

When the CPU 81 transmits a forward command to the display control circuit 90 in step S617 of FIG. 55, based on adding the unit value “1” previously recorded in the ROM 82 to the bullet position counter SN2 of the counter storage unit 164 in step S618. Update the current position of bullet pattern data. Then, the process proceeds to step S619, and the addition result of the bullet position counter SN2 in the counter storage unit 164 is compared with the hit determination value recorded in advance in the ROM 82. As shown in FIG. 57, this hit determination value is a value indicating that the bullet pattern data has reached the hit determination position (Xo, Ym) between the initial position and the upper limit position, and in step S608 of FIG. The operation limit time is set to a boundary value for determining a time during which it is impossible to move the bullet pattern data from the initial position to the hit determination position (Xo, Ym) within the remaining time until the game end time GE1 ′ elapses. ing.

Description of Processing Contents when Left Switch 52 or Right Switch 53 is Operated at an Appropriate Timing When Determining Reach When CPU 81 determines “SN2 = Hit Determination Value” in Step S619 of FIG. 55, it stores a command in Step S620 The recording result of the symbol information command is detected from the unit 161, and it is determined whether or not the detection result of the symbol information command is out of place. If it is determined that the detection result of the symbol information command is out of step, the process proceeds to step S621, and the target position counter SN1 of the counter storage unit 164 is set to either the left hit range or the right hit range recorded in the ROM 82 in advance. Judge whether it belongs or not.

  As shown in FIG. 57A, the left hit range is obtained by subtracting the error “W / 2” from the X coordinate “X1” of the left hit position (X1, Yo) and the left hit range Each of the values “X1 + W / 2” obtained by adding the error “W / 2” to the X coordinate “X1” of the hit position (X1, Yo) is the limit value, and the left hit position (X1, Yo) is the bullet When the pattern data reaches the upper limit position (Xo, Yo) when the pattern data reaches the upper limit position (Xo, Yo) from the hit determination position (Xo, Ym) Yes. This error “W / 2” corresponds to “½” of the length “W” in the X direction of the target picture data, and the target position counter SN1 is in the left hit range “X1−W / 2” to “ When the image belongs to “Xl + W / 2”, an image in which the bullet pattern 173 and the target pattern 171 overlap each other is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 57 (b), the right hit range is a value “Xr−W / 2” obtained by subtracting the error “W / 2” from the X coordinate “Xr” of the right hit position (Xr, Yo) and the right hit range. Each of the values “Xr + W / 2” obtained by adding the error “W / 2” to the X coordinate “Xr” of the hit position (Xr, Yo) is the limit value. The right hit position (Xr, Yo) indicates that the target pattern data that moves from right to left when the bullet pattern data reaches the upper limit position (Xo, Yo) from the hit determination position (Xo, Ym) is the upper limit position ( Xo, Yo), and when the target position counter SN1 belongs to the right hit range “Xr−W / 2” to “Xr + W / 2”, the bullet pattern 173 and the target pattern 171 mutually Overlapping images will occur.

  When the CPU 81 determines in step S621 in FIG. 55 that the target position counter SN1 of the counter storage unit 164 belongs to either the left hit range or the right hit range, in step S622, the video data for the decorative symbol game shown in FIG. Select the video data number SGH from the table. In step S623 of FIG. 55, the video data number SGH is transmitted to the display control circuit 90, and a data switching command is transmitted to the display control circuit 90 in step S631. When the display control circuit 90 receives the data switching command, the display control circuit 90 stops the video data reproduction process corresponding to the change start command # 41 or # 42. Then, the video data SGH corresponding to the video data number SGH is detected from the VROM, and the reproduction process of the video data SGH is started.

  When the CPU 81 transmits a data switching command to the display control circuit 90 in step S631 in FIG. 55, the movement flag in the flag storage unit 162 is reset to an OFF state in step S632, and the display control circuit 90 deletes the target image 171 in step S633. In step S634, a command for deleting the cannon pattern 172 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. In step S635, a command for deleting the bullet pattern 173 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. The display control circuit 90 deletes the target picture 171 when receiving the erase command of the target picture 171, deletes the cannon picture 172 when receiving the delete command of the cannon picture 172, and receives the delete command of the bullet picture 173. The bullet pattern 173 is erased.

As shown in (f) of FIG. 56, the video data SGH generates a three-dimensional image in which the bullet pattern 173 does not hit the target pattern 171. When the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 is operated at an appropriate timing to hit the player, a video image forcing the player to feel the release is forcibly displayed. At the time of reproduction of the video data SGH, the CPU 81 determines in step S597 in FIG. 54 that the movement flag in the flag storage unit 162 has been reset to an off state, and in step S636 in FIG. 55, the variable time timer ST1 in the timer storage unit 163. Is compared with the game end time GE1 ′. If “ST1 = GE1 ′” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S637, and the firing flag in the flag storage unit 162 is reset to an off state.

Explanation of processing contents when left switch 52 or right switch 53 is operated at an improper timing at the time of determination of probability variation big hit or normal big hit The CPU 81 detects that the detection result of the symbol information command at step S620 in FIG. In step S624, it is determined whether the target position counter SN1 of the counter storage unit 164 belongs to either the left hit range or the right hit range. Here, when it is determined that the target position counter SN1 of the counter storage unit 164 does not belong to either the left hit range or the right hit range, the process proceeds to step S625, and the video data table for the decorative symbol game shown in FIG. Select the data number SGA. 55, the video data number SGA is transmitted to the display control circuit 90 in step S626, and the data switching command is transmitted to the display control circuit 90 in step S631. When the display control circuit 90 receives the data switching command, the display control circuit 90 stops the video data reproduction process corresponding to the change start command # 41 or # 42. Then, the video data SGA corresponding to the video data number SGA is detected from the VROM, and the reproduction processing of the video data SGA is started.

  When the CPU 81 transmits a data switching command to the display control circuit 90 in step S631, the CPU 81 resets the movement flag in the flag storage unit 162 to an off state in step S632. In step S633, an erase command for the target pattern 171 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. In step S634, an erase command for the cannon pattern 172 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. In step S635, the bullet pattern 173 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. Send an erase command. The display control circuit 90 deletes the target picture 171 when receiving the erase command of the target picture 171, deletes the cannon picture 172 when receiving the delete command of the cannon picture 172, and receives the delete command of the bullet picture 173. The bullet pattern 173 is erased.

As shown in FIG. 56 (g), the video data SGA generates a three-dimensional image in which the bullet pattern 173 hits the target pattern 171, and the bullet pattern 173 is displayed when the probability variation big hit or the normal big hit is determined. When the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 is operated at an improper timing that does not hit the target picture 171, an image that makes the player feel a big hit is forcibly displayed. At the time of reproduction of the video data SGA, the CPU 81 determines in step S597 in FIG. 54 that the movement flag in the flag storage unit 162 has been reset to an off state, and in step S636 in FIG. 55, the variable time timer ST1 in the timer storage unit 163. Is compared with the game end time GE1 ′. If “ST1 = GE1 ′” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S637, and the firing flag in the flag storage unit 162 is reset to an off state.

Explanation of processing contents when the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 is operated at an improper timing when the reach determination is made. In step S621 in FIG. 55, the CPU 81 sets the target position counter SN1 of the counter storage unit 164 to the left hit range and the right. If it is determined that it does not belong to any of the hit ranges, neither the video data number SGH nor SGA is transmitted, and the movement flag in the flag storage unit 162 is not reset to the off state. In this case, the target picture data is moved by transmitting a right movement command or a left movement command to the display control circuit 90, and the bullet pattern data is moved by transmitting a forward command to the display control circuit 90. When the bullet pattern data reaches the upper limit position (Xo, Yo), it is determined in step S627 in FIG. 55 that the bullet position counter SN2 of the counter storage unit 164 has been added to the limit value Max, and a flag is stored in step S628. It is determined that the recording result of the symbol information command of the part 162 is out of place. When this bullet pattern data reaches the upper limit position (Xo, Yo), as shown in (h) of FIG. 56, the target pattern data has not reached the upper limit position (Xo, Yo), and the bullet pattern An image in which 173 does not hit the target pattern 171 is generated. That is, when the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 is operated at an improper timing at which the bullet pattern 173 does not hit the target pattern 171 at the time of determination of the detachment reach, an image that makes the player feel the detachment without switching the video data is displayed. Is done.

  When CPU 81 determines in step S628 of FIG. 55 that the recording result of the symbol information command in flag storage unit 162 is out of order, CPU 81 transmits a failure command to display control circuit 90 in step S629. When the display control circuit 90 receives the failure command, it detects image data corresponding to the failure command from the VROM, and displays a failure pattern 174 based on the detection result of the image data, as shown in FIG. 56 (h). .

When the CPU 81 transmits a failure command to the display control circuit 90 in step S629 of FIG. 55, the movement flag of the flag storage unit 162 is reset to an off state in step S632. In step S633, an erase command for the target pattern 171 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. In step S634, an erase command for the cannon pattern 172 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. In step S635, the bullet pattern 173 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. Send an erase command. When the movement flag in the flag storage unit 162 is turned off, the process proceeds from step S597 in FIG. 54 to step 636 in FIG. 55, and the variation time timer ST1 in the timer storage unit 163 is compared with the game end time GE1 ′. If “ST1 = GE1 ′” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S637, and the firing flag in the flag storage unit 162 is reset to an off state.

Explanation of processing contents when left switch 52 or right switch 53 is operated at an appropriate timing when determining the probability variation big hit or normal big hit The CPU 81 sets the target position counter SN1 of the counter storage unit 164 to the left hit range in step S624 of FIG. If it is determined that it belongs to one of the right hit ranges, neither the video data number SGH nor SGA is transmitted, and the movement flag of the flag storage unit 162 is not reset to the off state. In this case, the target picture data is moved by transmitting a right movement command or a left movement command to the display control circuit 90, and the bullet pattern data is moved by transmitting a forward command to the display control circuit 90. When the bullet pattern data reaches the upper limit position (Xo, Yo), it is determined in step S627 in FIG. 55 that the bullet position counter SN2 of the counter storage unit 164 has been added to the limit value Max, and a flag is stored in step S628. It is determined that the recording result of the symbol information command of the unit 162 is a probable big hit or a normal big hit. When this bullet pattern data reaches the upper limit position (Xo, Yo), as shown in FIG. 56 (i), the target pattern data has reached the vicinity of the upper limit position (Xo, Yo). An image in which 173 hits the target pattern 171 is generated. That is, when the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 is operated at an appropriate timing when the bullet pattern 173 hits the target pattern 171 at the time of the probable big hit or the normal big hit, the video that makes the player feel a big hit without switching the video data Is displayed.

  When CPU 81 determines in step S628 of FIG. 55 that the recording result of the symbol information command in flag storage unit 162 is a probable big hit or a normal big hit, it sends a hit command to display control circuit 90 in step S630. When receiving the hit command, the display control circuit 90 detects the image data corresponding to the hit command from the VROM, and displays the hit pattern 175 based on the detection result of the image data as shown in (i) of FIG. .

When the CPU 81 transmits a hit command to the display control circuit 90 in step S630 in FIG. 55, the movement flag in the flag storage unit 162 is reset to an off state in step S632. In step S633, an erase command for the target pattern 171 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. In step S634, an erase command for the cannon pattern 172 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. In step S635, the bullet pattern 173 is transmitted to the display control circuit 90. Send an erase command. In a state where the movement flag of the flag storage unit 162 is turned off, the CPU 81 proceeds from step S597 of FIG. 54 to step 636 of FIG. 55, and compares the variation time timer ST1 of the timer storage unit 163 with the game end time GE1 ′. If “ST1 = GE1 ′” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S637, and the firing flag in the flag storage unit 162 is reset to an off state.

Explanation of processing contents when the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 is not operated before the operation limit time has elapsed The CPU 81 determines that the addition result of the variable time timer ST1 of the timer storage unit 163 is the operation limit time in step S608 of FIG. If it is determined that it has reached, an operation invalidation command is transmitted to the display control circuit 90 in step S614. When the display control circuit 90 receives the operation invalid command, the display control circuit 90 detects image data corresponding to the operation invalid command from the VROM, and as shown in FIG. 56 (j), the operation invalid pattern 176 is based on the detection result of the image data. Is displayed.

When the CPU 81 transmits an operation invalid command to the display control circuit 90 in step S614 in FIG. 54, the movement flag in the flag storage unit 162 is reset to an off state in step S616. When the movement flag in the flag storage unit 162 is turned off, the process proceeds from step S597 in FIG. 54 to step 636 in FIG. 55, and the variation time timer ST1 in the timer storage unit 163 is compared with the game end time GE1 ′. If “ST1 = GE1 ′” is determined here, the process proceeds to step S637, and the firing flag in the flag storage unit 162 is reset to an off state. That is, when the user does not operate either the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 within the operation limit time, the target pattern 171 stops moving, and an image in which the bullet pattern 173 is fired from the cannon pattern 172 is not displayed.
[13-3-3] Decoration Symbol Game Stop Processing FIG. 58 shows details of the decoration symbol game stop processing in step S490, and the CPU 81 transmits a playback stop command to the display control circuit 90 in step S641, and step S642. In step S643, the fluctuation start command in the command storage unit 161 is cleared. Then, the display control circuit 80 stops the reproduction processing of the decorative design game video data including each of the game game video data SGA and SGH based on the reception of the playback stop command.
[13-4] Jackpot Game Processing FIG. 59 shows details of the jackpot game processing in step S414, and the CPU 81 determines the setting state of the jackpot round flag in the flag storage unit 162 in step S651. If it is determined that the big hit round flag of the flag storage unit 162 is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S652, and the big hit round flag of the flag storage unit 162 is reset to the off state. Then, the process proceeds to the big hit round process in step S653, and an image corresponding to the current big hit round number is displayed on the decorative symbol display 49.

  If the CPU 81 determines in step S651 that the big hit round flag in the flag storage unit 162 has been reset to an off state, it determines the final round flag setting state in the flag storage unit 162 in step S654. The final round flag of the flag storage unit 162 is set to an ON state based on the detection of the final 15th big hit round command in the big hit round process in step S653, and the CPU 61 stores the flag in step S654. When it is determined that the final round flag of the unit 162 is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S655.

  In step S655, the CPU 81 adds the unit time recorded in advance in the ROM 82 to the big hit round time timer ST2 in the timer storage unit 163. Then, the process proceeds to the game game process in step S656, and the game game image is displayed on the decorative symbol display 49. This jackpot round time timer ST2 measures the elapsed time of the final 15th jackpot round, and it is stored in advance in the ROM 82 based on the fact that the final 15th jackpot round command is detected in the jackpot round process in step S653. The recorded initial value “0” is set.

If the CPU 81 determines in step S654 that the final round flag in the flag storage unit 162 has been reset to an off state, the CPU 81 determines the setting state of the interval flag in the flag storage unit 162 in step S657. If it is determined that the interval flag of the flag storage unit 162 is set to the on state, the process proceeds to step S658, and the interval flag of the flag storage unit 162 is reset to the off state. Then, the process proceeds to the interval process of step S659, and the video reproduction process corresponding to the current big hit round number is stopped.
[13-4-1] Big Hit Round Process FIG. 60 shows details of the big hit round process in step S653, and the CPU 81 detects the big hit round command recording result from the command storage unit 161 in step S661. In step S662, the EXT data is detected from the detection result of the big hit round command, and in step S663, the video data number corresponding to the detection result of the EXT data is detected from the video data table for the big hit round in FIG. In step S664, the video data number detection result for the big hit round is transmitted to the display control circuit 90, and a reproduction start command is transmitted to the display control circuit 90 in step S665.

  When the display control circuit 90 receives the video data number for the big hit round from the CPU 81, the display control circuit 90 detects the video data for the big hit round according to the reception result of the video data number from the VROM. When the playback start command is received from the CPU 81, the detection result of the big hit round video data is started to be played, and the effect image corresponding to the EXT data of the big hit round command is displayed on the decorative symbol display 49. The number of jackpot rounds is set for each of the effect videos, and the player can recognize how many times the current jackpot round is from the video corresponding to the EXT data of the jackpot round command.

In step S665, the CPU 81 transmits a reproduction start command to the display control circuit 90. In step S666, the CPU 81 determines whether the detection result of the big hit round command is for the final 15th time. This process is performed by comparing the detection result of the EXT data with “0E (h)”, and the CPU 81 determines in step S666 that the detection result of the big hit round command is for the final 15th time. If so, the process proceeds to step S667 to set the final round flag in the flag storage unit 162 to the on state. Then, the process proceeds to step S668, and the initial value “0” recorded in advance in the ROM 82 is set in the big hit round time timer ST2 of the timer storage unit 163.
[13-4-2] Game Game Processing In the game game processing, as shown in FIG. 61, an image of the target symbol 171 linearly reciprocating in the left-right direction is displayed on the decorative symbol display 49, and the player operates the game game processing. When the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 is operated aiming at the target pattern 171 before the limit time has elapsed, an image in which the bullet pattern 173 is fired upward from the cannon pattern 172 is displayed. When the player operates the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 at an appropriate timing in the game processing during the big hit game, an image in which the bullet pattern 173 hits the target pattern 171 is displayed, and the player has an inappropriate timing. When the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 is operated, an image in which the bullet pattern 173 hits the target pattern 171 is not displayed.

  Each of FIG. 62 and FIG. 63 shows the details of the game game process of step S656. Hereinafter, the game game process in step S656 will be described mainly with respect to the difference from the game game process in step S585 for decorative symbol game. In step S671 of FIG. 62, the CPU 81 compares the addition result of the big hit round time timer ST2 of the timer storage unit 163 with the game start time GS2 ′ and the game end time GE2 ′. The big hit round time timer ST2 has an initial value “0” with the same required time until the main control circuit 60 subtracts the big hit round timer MT4 of the timer storage unit 154 from the initial value “40000 msec” to the game start time GS2. Is added to the game start time GS2 ′, and the main control circuit 60 sets the initial value “0” at the same time required for subtracting the big hit round time timer MT4 of the timer storage unit 154 from the initial value to the game end time GE2. ”Is added to the game end time GE2 ′, and the CPU 81 synchronizes with the“ big hit round time timer ST2 in synchronization with the main control circuit 60 setting the game game flag in the flag storage unit 153 during the big hit game. = Game start time GS2 '"and the main control circuit 60 The game player flag of the flag storage unit 153 in synchronization with the reset to the OFF state is determined "big hit round time timer ST2 = game end time GE2'" when.

  When the CPU 81 determines “GS2 ′ ≦ ST2 ≦ GE2 ′” in step S671, it determines whether or not “GS2 ′ = ST2” in step S672.

According to the said Example 1, there exists the following effect.
The main control circuit 60 does not transmit the hold command, the window frame open command, the window frame close command, the fraud detection command, the fraud cancellation command, the overpayment command, and the overpayment cancellation command to the effect control circuit 80 when the game game flag is on. The game game flag is transmitted to the effect control circuit 80 after waiting for the game game flag to be reset from the on state to the off state. This game game flag is set so that the main control circuit 60 is turned on at the timing when the effect control circuit 80 starts displaying the game game image on the decorative symbol display 49, and the effect control circuit 80 displays the game game image. The main control circuit 60 is reset to the off state at the end timing. For this reason, each of the hold command to the overpayment cancel command is not transmitted from the main control circuit 60 to the effect control circuit 80 when the effect control circuit 80 displays the game game video on the decorative symbol display 49. When the effect control circuit 80 stops displaying the video of the game game, the main control circuit 60 transmits the hold command to the overpayment cancellation command to the effect control circuit 80. Accordingly, when the presentation control circuit 80 stops displaying the game game video, the process corresponding to the hold command to the process corresponding to the overpayment cancellation command are performed, and the game command video is displayed while displaying the game game video. Since it is not necessary to perform each of the corresponding process to the process according to the overpayment cancellation command in parallel, it is possible to prevent the load of the effect control circuit 80 from becoming extremely large during the display of the video of the game game. This effect is the same for the video of the game game during the big hit round.

  Since the main control circuit 60 is configured to clear the full tank command and the full tank cancel command without transmitting them to the effect control circuit 80 when the game game flag is on, the effect control circuit 80 displays the video of the game game. Each of the full tank command and the full tank cancel command is not transmitted from the main control circuit 60 to the effect control circuit 80 during display on the decorative symbol display 49. For this reason, it is not necessary for the effect control circuit 80 to perform processing corresponding to the full tank command and processing corresponding to the full tank cancel command in parallel while displaying the video of the game game. It is possible to prevent the load of the circuit 80 from becoming extremely large during the display of a game game image. This effect is the same for the video of the game game during the big hit round.

  When the player operates the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 at an improper timing at the time of determination of detachment, an image in which the bullet pattern 173 does not hit the target pattern 171 in accordance with the operation timing of the left switch 52 or the operation timing of the right switch 53 is displayed. And when the player operates the left switch 52 or the right switch 53 at an appropriate timing, for example, at the time of determination of a probable big hit, the bullet pattern 173 is the target pattern 171 according to the operation timing of the left switch 52 or the operation timing of the right switch 53. The video that hits was displayed. For this reason, a player's skill can be reflected in the image | video of a game game. This effect is the same for the video of the game game during the big hit round.

  An image of whether or not the bullet pattern 173 hits the target pattern 171 as an image of the game game is displayed on the decorative symbol display 49. For this reason, unlike the case in which the target picture 171 is composed of a mechanical structure and a video game image indicating whether or not the bullet picture 173 hits the structure is displayed, the target picture 171 and the bullet pattern 173 are displayed between each other. Therefore, it is possible to freely express the perspective of the bullet pattern 173 with respect to the target pattern 171.

  In the first embodiment, when the CPU 61 of the main control circuit 60 sets the full tank cancel command while the game game is on, it waits for the game game flag to be turned off, and displays the full tank cancel command setting result. It is good also as a structure which transmits to 80. In the case of this configuration, the sound corresponding to the abnormality notification pattern 4 is output even though the full state of the lower plate 6 is eliminated while the sound corresponding to the abnormality notification pattern 4 is output from each of the speakers 16. Will not stop.

  In the first embodiment, when the CPU 61 of the main control circuit 60 sets each of the full tank command and the full tank cancel command when the game game flag is on, it waits for the game game flag to be turned off, Each of the setting result and the setting result of the full tank elimination command may be transmitted to the effect control circuit 80.

In step S287, the window frame opening command recording result is transmitted to the effect control circuit 80. In step S289, it is determined that the window frame closing command setting result is recorded in the command storage unit 156. The recording result of the window frame closing command is sent to the production control circuit 80. To trust.

  When the CPU 61 determines that the setting result of the fraud detection command is recorded in the command storage unit 156 in step S293, the CPU 61 transmits the fraud detection command recording result to the effect control circuit 80 in step S295. In step S297, the command storage unit When it is determined that the setting result of the fraud cancel command is recorded in 156, the fraud cancel command recording result is transmitted to the effect control circuit 80 in step S299, and the overpayment command is sent to the command storage unit 156 in step S301 in FIG. When it is determined that the setting result is recorded, the overpayment command recording result is transmitted to the effect control circuit 80 in step S303, and the overpayment cancellation command setting result is recorded in the command storage unit 156 in step S305. When it is determined, step S307 Sending a record result of overpayment eliminate command to effect control circuit 80.

  That is, each of the hold command, the window frame opening command, the window frame closing command, the fraud detection command, the fraud resolution command, the overpayment command, and the overpayment resolution command indicates whether or not the game game image is displayed on the decorative symbol display 49. Regardless, after being transmitted to the effect control circuit 80, it is cleared from the command storage unit 156, and each of the full tank command and the full tank cancel command is displayed on the decorative symbol display 49 when the game game image is displayed. It is cleared from the command storage unit 156 without being transmitted to.

  In the ROM 82 of the effect control circuit 80, a process data table is recorded in advance as shown in FIG. This process data table is used to select a process data number based on the EXT data of the fluctuation start command. The EXT data “30 (h)” of the fluctuation start command # 31 for reach C deviation and the fluctuation for reach C big hit Two different types of process data numbers are set for each of the EXT data “31 (h)” of the start command # 32, and the EXT data “40 (h)” of the change start command # 41 for reaching D out of reach D and Three different types of process data numbers are set for each of the EXT data “41 (h)” of the variation start command # 42 for reach D big hit, and the variation start command # 31 to reach D big hit for reach C outage EXT data of the remaining change start commands except for the change start command # 42 for use is one type of process data No. has been set.

  Process data is set in the ROM 82 of the effect control circuit 80 in accordance with each process data number, and each process data is set to end within the range of the variation display time corresponding to the corresponding variation start command. . For example, the process data 40A is set when the process data number 40A is selected, and the process data number 40A is selected when the main control circuit 60 sets the change start command # 41. The process data 40A is set so as to end within the range of the variable display time “40000 msec” corresponding to the variable start command # 41, similarly to the process data 40 for game play. Video data numbers are set in the ROM 82 of the effect control circuit 80 according to each process data number, and video data is set in the VROM of the display control circuit 90 according to each video data number. When selected, the video data number corresponding to the selection result of the process data number is selected, and when the video data number is selected, video data corresponding to the selection result of the video data number is selected.

  Each of FIGS. 70 and 71 shows details of the special symbol variation start process executed by the CPU 61 of the main control circuit 60 in step S122 of FIG. 28. The CPU 61 stores the timer storage unit 154 in step S168 of FIG. When the variation time timer MT1 is initially set, in step S801, the variation start command setting result is compared with each of # 41 and # 42 for gaming. Here, when it is determined that the setting result of the fluctuation start command is any of the fluctuation start commands # 41 and # 42, the process proceeds to step S803, and the measurement result of the random counter MR6 is acquired from the counter storage unit 155. The random counter MR6 is updated cyclically by the CPU 61 within the range of “0” to “30” in step S4 of FIG. 21, and the CPU 61 updates the random counter MR6 of the counter storage unit 155 in step S802 of FIG.

Tt = (Yo−Yn) / (ΔY / ΔT)
= (Yo-SN2 * ΔY) / (ΔY / ΔT)
= (Yo-SN2 * ΔY) * ΔT / ΔY (1)
The required time Tm until the center of the target pattern data in the left-right direction reaches the upper limit position (Xo, Yo) from the current position (Xn, Yo) is calculated by the following equation (2). Each of the following formula (3) and the following formula (4) is obtained by considering the width dimension W in the left-right direction of the target pattern data in the formula (2). Here, SN1 is a measurement value of the target position counter corresponding to the current position of the target picture data, and ΔX is a movement amount of the target picture data per unit time ΔT.
Tm = (Xo−Xn) / (ΔX / ΔT)
= | (Xo−SN1 * ΔX) | / (ΔX / ΔT)
= | (Xo−SN1 * ΔX) * ΔT | / ΔX (2)
Tm1 = | {(Xo−M / 2) − (SN1 * ΔX)} * ΔT | / ΔX (3)
Tm2 = | {(Xo + M / 2) − (SN1 * ΔX)} * ΔT | / ΔX (4)
In order to determine whether or not the bullet pattern data hits the target pattern data, the current measured value of the bullet position counter SN2 is input to the expression (1), and the target position is respectively set to the expressions (3) and (4). The current measured value of the counter SN1 is input, and the calculation result of the expression (1) may be compared with the hit range using the calculation result of the expression (3) and the calculation result of the expression (4) as limit values. The following formula (5) shows the hit range. When it is determined that the calculation result of the formula (1) belongs to the hit range, an image in which the bullet pattern data hits the target pattern data is generated. When it is determined that the calculation result of equation (1) does not belong to the hit range, an image in which the bullet pattern data does not hit the target pattern data is generated.
Tm1 ≦ Tt ≦ Tm2 (5)
