  When the CPU 41 detects the update results of the values of the counter MC1 and the counter MC2 in step S22, the CPU 41 compares the detection result of the value of the counter MC2 with the jackpot value (7) in step S23. This jackpot value (7) is recorded in advance in the ROM 42. When the CPU 41 determines that the detection result of the value of the counter MC2 is the same as the jackpot value, the jackpot flag of the RAM 43 is turned on in step S24. Set. The big hit flag is initially set to the off state in step S1, and the CPU 41 proceeds to step S25 when the big hit flag is set to the on state in step S24. Here, the special symbol is set as a big hit symbol, a big hit command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 60 in step S26, and the process proceeds to the variation start command selection process in step S30. When the variation start command selection process in step S30 is completed, the process proceeds to step S31, and (1) is set as the value of the process flag.

  If the CPU 41 determines in step S23 that the detection result of the value of the counter MC2 is different from the jackpot value, the CPU 41 sets the jackpot flag to an off state in step S27, and sets the special symbol out of the pattern in step S28. Then, in step S29, an out command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 60, and the process proceeds to the variation start command selection process in step S30. When the variation start command selection process in step S30 is completed, the process proceeds to step S31, and (1) is set as the value of the process flag.

  FIG. 10 shows the variation start command selection process in step S30, and the CPU 41 determines whether or not the big hit flag is set to the on state in step S41. If it is determined that the big hit flag is set to the on state, the fluctuation start command table 1 is detected from the ROM 42 in step S42. If it is determined that the big hit flag is set to the off state, the step S43 is executed. The change start command table 2 is detected from the ROM 42.

  FIG. 11A shows the change start command table 1. This variation start command table 1 is recorded in advance in the ROM 42, and is set by assigning one variation start command to each of 100 values within the update range of the counter MC1. Each of these variation start commands 01 to 05 is for setting the effect contents of the decorative symbol game. The selection probability of the variation start command 01 is set to (10/100), and the selection probability of the variation start command 02 is (15/100), the selection probability of the change start command 03 is set to (5/100), the selection probability of the change start command 04 is set to (30/100), and the selection probability of the change start command 05 Is set to (40/100).

  FIG. 11B shows the change start command table 2. This variation start command table 2 is recorded in advance in the ROM 42, and is set by assigning one variation start command to each of the 100 values within the update range of the counter MC1. Each of these variation start commands 10 to 16 is for setting the effect contents of the decorative symbol game, the selection probability of the variation start command 10 is set to (75/100), and the selection probability of the variation start command 11 is (5/100), the selection probability of the change start command 12 is set to (4/100), the selection probability of the change start command 13 is set to (1/100), and the change start commands 14 to 16 Each selection probability is set to (5/100).

  When detecting the variation start command table 1 or the variation start command table 2, the CPU 41 selects one variation start command corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter MC1 from the detection result of the variation start command table in step S44. In step S45, the selection result of the change start command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 60, and the change display time table is detected from the ROM 42 in step S46. FIG. 12 is a variable display time table. This variation display time table is recorded in advance in the ROM 42, and is set by assigning one variation display time to each of twelve variation start commands 01-16.

When the CPU 41 detects the fluctuation display time table in step S46, the CPU 41 selects one fluctuation display time corresponding to the selection result of the fluctuation start command from the fluctuation display time table in step S47, and fluctuates to the value of the timer MT in the RAM 43 in step S48. Set the display time selection result.
[1-4] Special Symbol Game Processing FIG. 13 shows the special symbol game processing in step S13. This special symbol game process is executed when the value of the process flag is set to (1). In step S51, the CPU 41 subtracts a fixed value (4 msec) from the value of the timer MT, and in step S52. The subtraction result of the value of the timer MT is compared with the limit value (0).

  If the CPU 41 determines in step S52 that the subtraction result of the value of the timer MT has reached the limit value, the CPU 41 proceeds to a special symbol display process in step S53. Here, the special symbol setting result is displayed on the special symbol display 31 and a change stop command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 60 in step S54. That is, when it is determined that the jackpot is selected, the jackpot symbol is displayed on the special symbol display 31 at the time when the selection result of the variable display time has elapsed, and when it is determined that it is off, the selection result of the variable display time has elapsed. At this point, the special symbol display 31 displays the off symbol.

When the CPU 41 transmits the fluctuation stop command in step S54, it is determined in step S55 whether or not the big hit flag is set to the on state. If it is determined that the big hit flag is set in the off state, the process flag value is set to (0) in step S56. If it is determined that the big hit flag is set in the on state, the step is executed. The process proceeds to S57. Here, the big hit flag is set to the OFF state, and (2) is set to the value of the process flag in step S58.
[1-5] Jackpot Game Process The jackpot game process in step S14 of FIG. 8 is executed when the value of the process flag is set to (2), and the CPU 41 is a jackpot game process in step S14. Make big jackpot rounds. When starting the first jackpot round in this jackpot game process, the effect control circuit 60 is notified of the start of the first jackpot round by transmitting a jackpot game start command, and when the final jackpot round is finished. By sending a big hit game stop command to the effect control circuit 60, it is notified that the last big hit round is finished, and when the big hit game stop command is sent to the production control circuit 60, the value of the process flag is (0). Set.
[2] Processing Contents of Effect Control Circuit 60 [2-1] Main Process The main process in FIG. 14 is executed by the CPU 61 of the effect control circuit 60. When the CPU 61 is turned on, the power supply in step S101 is turned on. The RAM 63 is initialized by the input process, and the counter update process in step S102 is repeated. In this counter update process, the value of the counter SC1 in the RAM 63 is updated by a fixed value (1). The value of the counter SC1 is initially set to the lower limit value (0) in step S101. In step S102, the value is added from the lower limit value (0) to the upper limit value (49) and then returned to the lower limit value (0). It is added cyclically.
[2-2] External Interrupt Processing The CPU 61 of the effect control circuit 60 receives the big hit command, the out command, the fluctuation start command, the fluctuation stop command, the big hit game start command, and the big hit game stop command from the main control circuit 40. To start external interrupt processing. When the CPU 61 starts the external interrupt process, the CPU 61 is in an interrupt disabled state, records the jackpot command to the jackpot game stop command in the RAM 63 by the external interrupt process, and then releases the interrupt disabled state.
[2-3] Timer Interrupt Process FIG. 15 shows a timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 61 of the effect control circuit 60. The CPU 61 proceeds to the decorative symbol game process at step S111 and the big hit game effect process at step S112. This timer interrupt process is started every 10 msec when a timer interrupt occurs. The main process is interrupted every time the timer interrupt process starts, and is restarted every time the timer interrupt process ends.
[2-4] Decoration Symbol Game Processing FIG. 16 shows the decoration symbol game processing in step S111. The CPU 61 of the effect control circuit 60 determines whether or not a change start command is recorded in the RAM 63 in step S121. If it is determined that the change start command is not recorded in the RAM 63, the process proceeds to step S125. If it is determined that the change start command is recorded in the RAM 63, the process proceeds to the change start command process in step S122. . When the variation start command processing in step S122 is completed, the variation start command is deleted from the RAM 63 in step S123, a reproduction start command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70 in step S124, and the process proceeds to step S125.

When proceeding to step S125, the CPU 61 determines whether or not a change stop command is recorded in the RAM 63. If it is determined that the change stop command is not recorded in the RAM 63, the decorative symbol game process is terminated. If it is determined that the change stop command is recorded in the RAM 63, the process proceeds to step S126. Here, the fluctuation stop command is erased from the RAM 63, and the reproduction stop command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70 in step S127.
[2-5] Change Start Command Processing FIG. 17 shows the change start command processing in step S122. The CPU 61 of the effect control circuit 60 detects the update result of the value of the counter SC1 from the RAM 63 in step S131. In step S132, a change start command is detected from the RAM 63, and in step S133, it is determined whether or not a big hit command is recorded in the RAM 63. If it is determined that the jackpot command is recorded in the RAM 63, the jackpot command is deleted from the RAM 63 in step S134, the video command table 1 is detected from the ROM 62 in step S135, and the process proceeds to step S140.

  FIG. 18 shows the video command table 1. This video command table 1 is recorded in advance in the ROM 62, and five video commands are assigned to each of the big hit change start command 01, the change start command 02, the change start command 04, and the change start command 05. One video command is assigned to the change start command 03. Each of these video commands 01A to 05E is for selecting video data for decoration symbol game from the VROM of the display control circuit 70, and is assigned a plurality of values within the update range of the counter SC1.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S133 that no big hit command is recorded in the RAM 63, the process proceeds to step S136. In this case, the out command is recorded in the RAM 63, and the CPU 61 erases the out command from the RAM 63 in step S136. In step S137, the variation start command 10 and the variation start command 16 are used to detect the detection result of the variation start command. Compare with each of the above. If it is determined that the detection result of the fluctuation start command is either the fluctuation start command 10 or the fluctuation start command 16, the video command table 2 is detected from the ROM 62 in step S138, and the process proceeds to step S140. FIG. 19 shows the video command table 2. This video command table 2 is recorded in advance in the ROM 62, and five video commands 10A to 10E are allocated to the complete start change start command 10, and one video command 16A is assigned to the complete start change start command 16. It is set by assigning a plurality of values within the update range of the counter SC1 to each of the six video commands 10A to 16A.

  When the detection result of the fluctuation start command is any one of the five fluctuation start commands 11 to 15 for outlier reach, the CPU 61 determines that the detection result of the fluctuation start command is the fluctuation start command 10 for complete deviation and the fluctuation start in step S137. It is determined that none of the commands 16 is present. In this case, the video command table 3 is detected from the ROM 62 in step S139, and the process proceeds to step S140.

  FIG. 20 shows a video command table 3, and the video command table 3 is recorded in advance in the ROM 62. In this video command table 3, five video commands are assigned to each of the fluctuation start command 11, the fluctuation start command 12, the fluctuation start command 14, and the fluctuation start command 15 for outlier reach, and one video start command 13 for outlier reach. The change start command is assigned, and a plurality of values within the update range of the counter SC1 are assigned to each of the video commands 11A to 15E.

In step S140, the CPU 61 selects one video command corresponding to each of the detection result of the value of the counter SC1 and the detection result of the change start command from the detection result of the video command table, and the display control circuit 70 is selected in step S141. Send video command selection result.
[2-6] Jackpot Game Effect Processing The jackpot game effect processing in step S112 in FIG. 15 is to determine whether or not each jackpot game start command and jackpot game stop command are recorded in the RAM 63. When it is determined that the big hit game start command is recorded, the big hit game start command is erased from the RAM 63, and the big hit game effect start command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70. When the CPU 61 determines that the big hit game stop command is recorded in the RAM 63, the CPU 61 erases the big hit game stop command from the RAM 63 and transmits the big hit game effect stop command to the display control circuit 70.

When receiving the jackpot game effect start command, the display control circuit 70 detects video data for the jackpot game effect from the VROM. The video data for the jackpot game effect is recorded in advance in the VROM, and when the display control circuit 70 detects the video data for the jackpot game effect, it reproduces the video data for the jackpot game effect. The display of the big hit game effect image is started on the symbol display 33. When the display control circuit 70 receives the jackpot game effect stop command, the display control circuit 70 stops the video data playback process for the jackpot game effect and stops displaying the video of the jackpot game effect.
[3] Processing Contents of Display Control Circuit 70 FIG. 21 is a list of video data for decorative design games recorded in advance in the VROM of the display control circuit 70. Each of the video data V01A to V16A 48 is for displaying an image of the decorative symbol game on the decorative symbol display 33, and the VDP of the display control circuit 70 receives the video command from the effect control circuit 60. One video data corresponding to the reception result of the video command from the VROM is detected. When the VDP receives a playback start command from the effect control circuit 60, it starts to display the video of the decorative symbol game by starting playback of the video data detection result, and receives a playback stop command from the effect control circuit 60. In such a case, the display of the video of the decorative symbol game is stopped by stopping the reproduction of the detection result of the video data.

It is an image of. In step S201, the VDP starts displaying the symbol elements in the variation state in each of the left variation region L, the middle variation region C, and the right variation region R (see a in FIG. 23). In the variation display of each symbol element in the left variation region L to the right variation region R, the lower symbol element is deleted, the middle symbol element is shifted to the lower symbol, the upper symbol element is shifted to the middle symbol, This is performed by displaying the symbol element of the next array number after the symbol element in the upper row in the upper row, and in the left variation area L, the symbol elements are cyclically displayed in the arrangement order of the left column in FIG. In the middle fluctuation region C, the symbol elements are cyclically displayed in the arrangement order of the middle row in FIG. 5, and in the right fluctuation region R, the symbol elements are cyclically displayed in the arrangement order of the right column in FIG. Fluctuation is displayed.

  When the variable display of the symbol elements is started in step S201, the VDP stops the variation display of the symbol elements in the left variation region L in step S202, and stops the variation display of the symbol elements in the middle variation region C in step S203. The stop display of the symbol elements in the left variation area L is performed such that the upper part becomes the symbol element (cherry), the middle part becomes the symbol element (7), and the lower part becomes the symbol element (bell) (see b in FIG. 23). The stop display of the symbol elements in the middle fluctuation region C is performed such that the upper part becomes the symbol element (shellfish), the middle part becomes the symbol element (7), and the lower part becomes the symbol element (flower) (FIG. 23). When the symbol elements in the middle fluctuation region C are stopped and displayed, the reach state is reached in which two symbol elements (7) are arranged along the effective line L2.

  When the reach state is generated in step S203, the VDP stops the change display of the symbol elements in the right change region R in step S204. This symbol element stop display is performed so that the upper part is the symbol element (bell), the middle part is the symbol element (7), and the lower part is the symbol element (BAR) (see d in FIG. 23). When the symbol elements in the fluctuation region R are stopped and displayed, a big hit combination in which three symbol elements (7) are arranged along the effective line L2 is established.

The video data reproduction process 02 in FIG. 24 is the processing content when the VDP reproduces the video data V02A. FIG. 25 shows the decorative symbol game displayed on the decorative symbol display 33 by the VDP executing the video data reproduction process 02. It is an image of. In step S211, the VDP starts displaying the symbol elements in the variation state in each of the left variation region L to the right variation region R (see a in FIG. 25). In step S212, the fluctuation display of the symbol elements in the left fluctuation area L is stopped (see b in FIG. 25), and in step S213, the fluctuation display of the symbol elements in the middle fluctuation area C is stopped (see c in FIG. 25). ), The change display of the symbol elements in the right change region R is stopped in step S214 (see d in FIG. 25).

  The stop display of the symbol elements in the left change area L is performed such that the upper part is a symbol element (flower), the middle part is a symbol element (shellfish), and the lower part is a symbol element (watermelon). The stop display of the symbol elements in the middle fluctuation region C is performed such that the upper part becomes the symbol element (cherry), the middle part becomes the symbol element (shellfish), and the lower part becomes the symbol element (bell). The stop display of the symbol elements in the right variation region R is performed such that the upper portion is a symbol element (flower), the middle portion is a symbol element (shellfish), and the lower portion is a symbol element (bell). When the symbol elements in R are stopped and displayed, a combination of stage combinations 1 in which three symbol elements (shellfish) are arranged along the effective line L2 is established.

  When the combination of the stage combination 1 is established in step S214, the VDP again changes the respective symbol elements in the left variation region L to the right variation region R in step S215 (see e in FIG. 25). In step S216, the variation display of the symbol elements in the left variation region L is stopped. In step S217, the variation display of the symbol elements in the middle variation region C is stopped. In step S218, the variation of the symbol elements in the right variation region R is stopped. The fluctuation display is stopped (see f in FIG. 25). The stop display of each symbol element in the left variation region L to the right variation region R is performed so that a jackpot combination is established along the effective line L2.

Each of video data V02B, video data V02C, video data V02D, and video data V02E in FIG. 21 is played back by the same process as video data playback process 02, and each of video data V02B to video data V02E is played back. When processed, the symbol elements in the left variation region L, the middle variation region C, and the right variation region R are sequentially displayed in the variation state and the variation stop state, thereby becoming a combination of the production role 1. When the combination of the combination 1 is obtained, the winning combination is obtained by sequentially displaying again in the variation state and the variation stop state. Each of these video data V02B to video data V02E is different in which effective line the combination of the three symbol elements is determined. In the video data V02B, the combination of the three symbol elements is determined by the effective line L1. The data V02C is determined by the effective line L3, the video data V02D is determined by the effective line L4, and the video data V02E is determined by the effective line L5.
[3-5] Video data V12A to V12E
Each of the video data 12A, video data V12B, video data V12C, video data V12D, and video data V12E in FIG. 21 is reproduced by the same process as the video data reproduction process 02, and the video data V12A to video data V12E. When each of these is reproduced, the respective symbol elements in the left variation area L to the right variation area R are displayed in order in the variation state and the variation stop state, thereby becoming a combination of the production combination 1 and the production combination 1 In the case of the combination of, the display is sequentially displayed again in the variation state and the variation stop state, so that a combination of detachment reach is obtained (see g in FIG. 25). Each of these video data V12A to video data V12E is different in which effective line the combination of the three symbol elements is determined. In the video data V12A, the effective line L2 is determined. In the video data V12B, the effective line L1 is determined. The video data V12C is determined by the effective line L3, the video data V12D is determined by the effective line L4, and the video data V12E is determined by the effective line L5. In other words, the combination of the production role 1 informs the player that one variation display is resumed, and when it is determined that the game is a big win, If the combination is established and it is determined that the combination is out of date, the combination of out of reach is established by the re-variable display after the stage combination 1 is established.
[3-6] Video data V03A
The video data reproduction process 03 in FIG. 26 is the processing contents when the VDP reproduces the video data V03A. FIG. 27 shows the decorative symbol game displayed on the decorative symbol display 33 by the VDP executing the video data reproduction process 03. It is an image of. In step S221, the VDP starts displaying the symbol elements in the fluctuation state in each of the left fluctuation region L to the right fluctuation region R (see a in FIG. 27). Then, in step S222, the variation display of the symbol elements in the left variation region L is stopped, in step S223, the variation display of the symbol elements in the middle variation region C is stopped, and in step S224, the symbol elements in the right variation region R are displayed. The fluctuation display is stopped (see b in FIG. 27).

  The stop display of the symbol elements in the left variation area L is performed such that the upper row is a symbol element (shellfish), the middle row is a symbol element (watermelon), and the lower row is a symbol element (BAR). The stop display of the symbol elements in the middle fluctuation area C is performed such that the upper row is a symbol element (cherry), the middle row is a symbol element (watermelon treasure box), and the lower row is a symbol element (shellfish). The stop display of the symbol elements in the right variation region R is performed so that the upper portion becomes a symbol element (watermelon), the middle portion becomes a symbol element (flower), and the lower portion becomes a symbol element (shellfish). When the symbol elements in R are stopped and displayed, the three symbol elements become a combination of specific directors (shellfish watermelon treasure shell shell) along the effective line L4. In a state in which the combination of specific directors is established along the effective line L4, the combination of directors 1, the combination of directors 2, the combination of directors 3, the combination of outlier reach, and the jackpot combination are combined along the effective line L1. Neither of them is established, the combination of the stage combination 1 to the jackpot combination is not established along the effective line L2, and the combination of the stage combination 1 to the jackpot is not established along the effective line L3. Neither the combination of the stage combination 1 to the combination of jackpots is established along the effective line L5.

  When the VDP establishes the combination of specific effects in step S224, the VDP displays a pop-up video in step S225 (see c in FIG. 27). This pop-up image expands the size of the middle pattern element (watermelon treasure chest) in the middle fluctuation area C from the initial size at the time when it is stopped and displayed in step S224 to the target size. The treasure box is enlarged and displayed while moving and displaying the symbol element (watermelon treasure box) from the initial position to the target position at a constant speed when the pattern element is stopped and displayed in step S224. In the movement display of this symbol element (watermelon treasure chest), the display position in the X direction (left and right direction) is fixed to the display position when stopped in step S224, and the display position in the Y direction is stopped and displayed in step S224. This is done by changing the display position downward from the initial position. From the player's perspective, the picture element (watermelon treasure chest) jumps forward from the initial position.

  When the VDP finishes displaying the pop-up video in step S225, the VDP displays the vibration video in step S226. This vibration image is performed by alternately changing the display position of the symbol element (watermelon treasure chest) to (target position + ΔX) and (target position -ΔX) with the target size of the symbol element (watermelon treasure chest), From the player's perspective, the treasure chest vibrates in the left-right direction with reference to the target position, so that an image of the impression that the object is moving inside the treasure chest is obtained.

  When the VDP finishes displaying the vibration image in step S226, the VDP displays the open image in step S227 (see d in FIG. 27). This open video is for opening the lid of the treasure chest from the closed state at the target size and target position of the symbol element (watermelon treasure chest), and when the display of the open video in step S227 is finished, the VDP is step S228. To display the cloth appearance image (see e in FIG. 27). This cloth appearance image is the content of the rectangular size cloth appearing from the inside of the treasure chest that is open at the target size and target position of the symbol element (watermelon treasure chest), and the fabric has the symbol element (shellfish) It is drawn with the same initial size as each of the two symbol elements (shellfish) on the effective line L4. The size of the cloth is set larger than that of the symbol element (shellfish) and smaller than that of the treasure box.

  When the display of the cloth appearance video in step S228 is finished, the VDP displays the cloth enlarged video in step S229 (see f in FIG. 27). This cloth enlargement image enlarges the cloth from the initial size to the target size, and the pattern element (shellfish) drawn on the cloth is enlarged from the initial size to the target size in accordance with the enlargement of the cloth. The target size of the cloth is set to the total size of the left variation region L, the middle variation region C, and the right variation region R. The three design elements in the left variation region L and the two in the middle variation region C Each of the symbol elements and the three symbol elements in the right fluctuation region R is hidden visually unrecognizable by the cloth when the cloth is enlarged to the target size.

  When the VDP finishes displaying the cloth enlarged image in step S229, the VDP displays the cloth erased image in step S230 (see g to i in FIG. 27).

The display device displays the video of the symbol game with the effect content according to the selection result of the effect information, and when the effect information for pseudo-variation is selected, the image of one or more pseudo-changes is displayed. After that, equipped with a pattern game means to display non-pseudo-change video,
The symbol game means is:
When a predetermined specific information is selected from the production information for pseudo-variation, each symbol element in the plurality of variation areas of the display unit is changed from the variation state to the “big combination” in the pseudo-variation video. And “the combination of re-variation for notifying the player that each symbol element in the plurality of variation areas is changed from the change stop state to the change state again” so that the change stop state is not established. When,
A combination of re-variation from one of the symbol elements in the variation stop state in the plurality of variation regions when the symbol elements in the plurality of variation regions of the display are set in the variation stop state in the first processing. Is a process of displaying an image in which a specific pattern appears to suggest to the player that the above is established, and a part or all of the pattern elements in the variable stop state in the plurality of variable areas are displayed on the player side. A second process for displaying the specific pattern with an initial size smaller than a shielding size that can be hidden from a certain time;
When the video in which the specific picture appears is displayed from one of the graphic elements in the plurality of variable regions of the display unit in the second process, the specific picture is changed from the initial size to the shielding size. A third process for displaying an image in which the specific picture hides part or all of the design elements in the plurality of variable areas from the front by enlarging;
In the third process, when the specific picture displays a video that hides some or all of the graphic elements in the plurality of variable areas of the display, the video in which the specific picture moves is displayed. Then, as the movement of the specific pattern progresses, the area hidden by the specific pattern decreases among the plurality of variable areas, and the plurality of variable areas are exposed so that the pattern elements are included in the plurality of variable areas. A fourth process for displaying a video that appears in a combination of re-variation;
A fifth process of displaying a pseudo-variable video or a non-pseudo-variable video when an image in which a symbol element appears in a combination of re-variation is displayed in the plurality of fluctuation regions of the display unit in the fourth process; Done
When the production information for pseudo-variation is different from the specific information, the first process, the second process, the third process, and the fourth process are performed on the pseudo-variation video. A pachinko machine characterized by displaying a pseudo-variation image or a non-pseudo-variation image after the symbol elements in a plurality of variation regions are brought into a variation stop state so that a combination of re-variation is established without going through the process.
