  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, it sets the jackpot flag to an off state in step S27. Then, in step S28, the special symbol is set as an off symbol, and the process proceeds to the change start command selection process in step S29. When the variation start command selection process in step S29 is completed, the process proceeds to step S30, and (1) is set as the value of the process flag.

  FIG. 7 shows the variation start command selection process in step S29, and the CPU 41 determines whether or not the big hit flag is set to the on state in step S31. 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 S32, and if it is determined that the big hit flag is set to the off state, the step S33 is executed. The change start command table 2 is detected from the ROM 42.

  FIG. 8A 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 04 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 It is set to (20/100), the selection probability of the change start command 03 is set to (30/100), and the selection probability of the change start command 04 is set to (40/100). FIG. 8B 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 11 to 15 is for setting the effect contents of the decorative symbol game. Each selection probability of the variation start commands 11 to 14 is set to (5/100). The selection probability is set to (80/100).

  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 S34. In step S35, 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 S36. FIG. 9 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 the nine variation start commands 01-15.

When the CPU 41 detects the fluctuation display time table in step S36, 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 S37, and fluctuates to the value of the timer MT in the RAM 43 in step S38. Set the display time selection result.
[1-4] Special Symbol Game Processing FIG. 10 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), and the CPU 41 subtracts a fixed value (4 msec) from the value of the timer MT in step S41, and in step S42. The subtraction result of the value of the timer MT is compared with the limit value (0). Here, when it is determined that the subtraction result of the value of the timer MT has not reached the limit value, the special symbol game process is terminated.

  If the CPU 41 determines in step S42 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 S43. Here, the special symbol setting result is displayed on the special symbol display 33, and a change stop command is transmitted to the effect control circuit 60 in step S44. That is, when it is determined that the jackpot is determined, the bonus symbol is displayed on the special symbol display 33 at the time when the selection result of the variable display time has elapsed. At this point, the special symbol display 33 displays the off symbol.

When the CPU 41 transmits the change stop command in step S44, it is determined in step S45 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 S46, and if it is determined that the big hit flag is set in the on state, the step is executed. The process proceeds to S47. Here, the big hit flag is set to the OFF state, and (2) is set to the value of the process flag in step S48.
[1-5] Jackpot Game Process The jackpot game process in step S14 of FIG. 4 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 sending a jackpot game start command, and when the final jackpot round is completed. Sends a jackpot game stop command to the effect control circuit 60 to notify that the final jackpot round has ended. When the jackpot game stop command is sent to the effect control circuit 60, the process flag value is set to (0 ) Is set.
[2] Processing Contents of Effect Control Circuit 60 [2-1] Main Process The main process in FIG. 11 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. This counter update process updates the values of the counter SC1, counter SC2, counter SC3, counter SC4, counter SC5, and counter SC6 of the RAM 63 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 (249) and then returned to the lower limit value (0) to circulate. Are added. The value of the counter SC2 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 (30), and then returned to the lower limit value (0) to circulate. Are added.
[2-2] External Interrupt Processing The CPU 61 of the effect control circuit 60 transmits an external interrupt by sending a big hit command, a fluctuation start command, a fluctuation stop command, a big hit game start command, and a big hit game stop command from the main control circuit 40. Start the process. 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. 12 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 in order. 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. 13 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 S127. If it is determined that the change start command is recorded in the RAM 63, the decorative symbol game flag in the RAM 63 is set in step S122. Set to the on state. This decorative symbol game flag is initially set to the off state in step S101. When the decorative symbol game flag is set to the on state in step S122, the CPU 61 proceeds to the change start command processing in step S123.

  When the CPU 61 finishes the variation start command processing in step S123, the CPU 61 sets (0) as the value of the timer ST in the RAM 63 in step S124. In step S125, the variation start command is erased from the RAM 63. In step S126, the reproduction start command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70, and the process proceeds to step S127.

  When proceeding to step S127, the CPU 61 determines whether or not the decorative symbol game flag is set to the on state. If it is determined that the decorative symbol game flag is set to the OFF state, the decorative symbol game process is terminated. If it is determined that the decorative symbol game flag is set to the ON state, the process proceeds to step S128. . Here, the constant value (10) is added to the value of the timer ST, and the process proceeds to the pseudo-variable effect process in step S129.

When the CPU 61 finishes the pseudo variation effect process in step S129, the CPU 61 determines whether or not a variation stop command is recorded in the RAM 63 in step S130. 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 S131. Here, the decorative symbol game flag is set to the off state, the fluctuation stop command is erased from the RAM 63 in step S132, and the reproduction stop command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70 in step S133.
[2-5] Change Start Command Processing FIG. 14 shows change start command processing in step S123. The CPU 61 detects a change start command from the RAM 63 in step S141, and whether or not a big hit command is recorded in the RAM 63 in step S142. Judging. 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 S143, and the process proceeds to the jackpot symbol setting process in step S144. In this jackpot symbol setting process, the decorative symbol is set to a jackpot combination, and the CPU 61 detects the update result of the value of the counter SC1 from the RAM 63 in step S144. Then, one of the eight symbol elements (1) to (8) is selected according to the detection result of the value of the counter SC1, and the symbol element in the left column, the symbol element in the middle column, and the symbol element in the right column Is set as a symbol element selection result to set the decorative symbol as a jackpot combination.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S142 that no big hit command is recorded in the RAM 63, it determines in step S145 whether or not the detection result of the fluctuation start command is the fluctuation start command 15 for complete deviation. If it is determined that the variation start command detection result is the variation start command 15, the process proceeds to the complete out symbol design processing in step S146. In this complete off symbol setting process, the decorative symbol is set to a completely off combination, and the CPU 61 detects the update results of the values of the counters SC1, SC2, and SC3 from the RAM 63 in step S146. Then, one of the eight symbol elements (1) to (8) corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter SC1 is selected, and the symbol element in the left column is set as the symbol element selection result. Next, one of the eight symbol elements (1) to (8) excluding the setting result of the symbol element in the left column is selected according to the detection result of the value of the counter SC2, and the right column is selected. The symbol element is set as the symbol element selection result. Finally, one of the eight symbol elements (1) to (8) is selected according to the detection result of the value of the counter SC3, and the middle row symbol element is set as the symbol element selection result. Set the design to a completely out of combination.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S145 that the detection result of the change start command is any one of the change start commands 11 to 14, the process proceeds to an outreach symbol setting process in step S147. In this outlier reach setting process, the decorative symbols are set as combinations of outliers, and the CPU 61 detects the update results of the values of the counters SC1 and SC2 from the RAM 63 in step S147. Then, one of the eight symbol elements of (1) to (8) is selected according to the detection result of the value of the counter SC1, and each of the symbol element in the left column and the symbol element in the right column is selected as the symbol element. Set the selection result. Next, among the eight symbol elements (1) to (8), one corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter SC2 out of the seven symbols excluding the setting results of the symbol elements in the left column and the right column. By selecting one and setting the symbol element in the middle row as the selection result of the symbol element, the decorative symbol is set to the combination of outliers.

  When CPU 61 sets a combination of decorative symbols in step S144, step S146, or step S147, in step S148, the display control circuit 70 sets the left column symbol element setting result, the middle column symbol element setting result, and the right column symbol element. Send each setting result. When the display control circuit 70 receives the transmission results of the symbol elements in the left column, the symbol elements in the middle column, and the symbol elements in the right column, they are recorded in the VRAM.

  When the CPU 61 transmits the setting results of the symbol elements in the left column to the right column in step S148, the CPU 61 detects the update result of the value of the counter SC4 from the RAM 63 in step S149, and the video command table is read from the ROM 62 in step S150. To detect. FIG. 15 is a video command table. This video command table assigns two video commands to each of four of the big hit variation start commands 01 to 04, assigns two video commands to each of the four variation start commands 11 to 14 for outreach, and completes One video command is assigned to the change start command 15 for detachment. Each of these video commands C01 to C15 17 is for selecting video data for a background image of the decorative design game from the VROM of the display control circuit 70. Each of the video commands C01 to C15 17 has a counter SC4. Multiple values within the update range of are assigned.

  When the CPU 61 detects the video command table in step S150, the CPU 61 selects one video command from the video command table in step S151. This selection process of the video command is performed by selecting one of the video commands corresponding to the detection result of the change start command according to the detection result of the value of the counter SC4, and the CPU 61 executes the video in step S151. If a command is selected, the process proceeds to step S152.

  In step S152, the CPU 61 compares the selection result of the video command with each of the video commands C01sp, C02sp, C03sp, C04sp, C11sp, C12sp, C13sp, and C14sp. If it is determined that the selection result of the video command is not any of the video commands C01sp to C14sp, the selection result of the video command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70 in step S154, and the selection result of the video command is the video command C01sp to If it is determined that it is any one of C14sp, the selection result of the video command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70 in step S154 through the pseudo-variation preparation process in step S153. When receiving the video command, the display control circuit 70 records the reception result of the video command in the VRAM.

  FIG. 16 is a list of decorative design game video data recorded in advance in the VROM of the display control circuit 70. Each of the video data V01 to V15 17 is for displaying a background image of the decorative design game, and the VDP of the display control circuit 70 receives the video command from the VROM when the video command from the effect control circuit 60 is received. One video data corresponding to the reception result is detected. When the VDP receives a playback start command from the effect control circuit 60, the VDP starts to display the background image of the decorative symbol game on the decorative symbol display 34 by starting the reproduction of the video data detection result. When the reproduction stop command is received, display of the background image of the decorative symbol game is stopped by stopping reproduction of the video data detection result.

  FIG. 17 is a video of a decorative symbol game displayed on the decorative symbol display 34 by the VDP of the display control circuit 70. When the VDP receives a reproduction start command from the effect control circuit 60, the VDP is displayed on the left of the decorative symbol display 34. The display of the symbol elements in the variation state is started in the variation region L, the middle variation region C, and the right variation region R, respectively (see a in FIG. 17). Each symbol element in the left variation region L to the right variation region R is displayed by overlapping the background image of the decorative symbol game by reproducing the image data of VROM, and VDP is the left variation region. When the symbol elements are started to be displayed in the variation state in each of the inside of L to the right variation region R, the symbol elements in the left variation region L are set in the variation stop state in the left stop region LE (see b in FIG. 17). . The stop display of the symbol element is performed based on the setting result of the symbol element in the left column of the VRAM, and the VDP receives the playback start command even when any of the video data V01 to V15 is being played back. Based on the above, the symbol elements in the left fluctuation region L are set to the fluctuation stop state when the common left column fluctuation stop time has elapsed.

  When the symbol elements in the left fluctuation region L are set in the change stop state, the VDP puts the symbol elements in the right change region R in the change stop state in the right stop region RE (see c in FIG. 17). The stop display of the symbol element is performed based on the setting result of the symbol element in the right column of the VRAM, and the VDP is based on the fact that the playback start command is received when the video data V15 for complete removal is played back. When the fluctuation stop time 1 in the right column elapses, the symbol elements in the right fluctuation region R are set to the fluctuation stop state, and each of the big hit video data V01 to V04sp and the outreach video data V11 to V14sp 16 is set. When playback is in progress, the symbol elements in the right fluctuation region R are changed when the fluctuation stop time 2 of the right column, which is longer than the fluctuation stop time 1 of the right column, has passed, based on the reception of the playback start command. Set to the stopped state. That is, when each of the big hit video data V01 to V04sp and the outreach video data V11 to V14sp is reproduced, the display of the decorative symbol game video is started and the common right column is stopped from changing. When time 2 elapses, the symbol elements in the left column and the symbol elements in the right column are in the same reach state.

When the symbol elements in the right fluctuation region R are in the fluctuation stop state, the VDP places the symbol elements in the middle fluctuation region C in the fluctuation stop state in the middle stop region CE (see d in FIG. 17). The stop display of the symbol elements is performed based on the setting result of the symbol elements in the middle row of the VRAM, and the VDP receives a playback stop command even when any of the video data V01 to V15 is being reproduced. As a result, the reproduction processing of the video data is stopped and the symbol elements in the middle fluctuation region C are set in the fluctuation stopped state.
[2-6] Pseudo Fluctuation Preparation Process FIG. 18 is a pseudo fluctuation preparation process in step S153, and the CPU 61 sets the pseudo fluctuation effect flag in the RAM 63 to the on state in step S161. This pseudo variation effect flag is initially set to the OFF state in step S101. When the CPU 61 sets the pseudo variation effect flag to the ON state in step S161, the CPU 61 changes the detection result of the variation start command from the ROM 62 in step S162. A corresponding production table is detected.

This effect table 02 is obtained by assigning a plurality of values within the update range of the counter SC5 to each of eight limiter values (1) to (8), and eight limiter values (1) to (8). Either of the values (1) and (2) of ease of going up is assigned to each.

  FIG. 20C shows the effect table 03, and the CPU 61 detects the effect table 03 from the ROM 62 in step S162 when the detection result of the change start command is the big hit change start command 03. This effect table 03 is obtained by assigning a plurality of values within the update range of the counter SC5 to each of eight limiter values (1) to (8), and eight limiter values (1) to (8). Either of the values (1) and (2) of ease of going up is assigned to each. (D) of FIG. 20 is the production | presentation table 04, and CPU61 detects the production | generation table 04 from ROM62 in step S162, when the detection result of a fluctuation | variation start command is the fluctuation start command 04 for jackpots. This effect table 04 is obtained by assigning a plurality of values within the update range of the counter SC5 to each of eight limiter values (1) to (8), and eight limiter values (1) to (8). Either of the values (1) and (2) of ease of going up is assigned to each.

  When the CPU 61 detects the effect table from the ROM 62 in step S162, the CPU 61 detects the update result of the value of the counter SC5 from the RAM 63 in step S163. In step S164, one limiter value corresponding to the detection result of the counter SC5 is selected from the detection result of the effect table. In step S165, one limiter value is selected from the detection result of the effect table. Select the value of ease of climbing.

  If CPU61 selects the value of easiness of going up at step S165, CPU61 will detect the maximum bead number table from ROM62 at step S166. FIG. 21 is a maximum bead number table. This maximum bead number table is obtained by assigning the maximum number of red beads, the maximum number of blue beads, and the maximum number of rainbow beads to each of the eight limiter values (1) to (8), and the CPU 61 determines the maximum number of beads in step S166. If the table is detected, one maximum pearl number corresponding to the limiter value selection result is selected from the maximum pearl number table in step S167, and the maximum pearl number selection result is added to the value of the counter SN1 in step S168. Set.

The value of this table data is set to (00) when the maximum rainbow number selection result is (1), and (03) when the maximum rainbow number selection result is (0). Set to

  FIG. 22 is a pseudo variation image displayed on the decorative symbol display 34, and the pseudo variation preparation process in step S153 is a preparation for displaying the pseudo variation image on the decorative symbol display 34. This pseudo-variation video shows the left row, the middle row of the symbol elements and the right row of the design elements being erased in a fluctuating state, and the left row to the right row of the design elements being erased. This is started by displaying the pearl pattern in a variable state in the horizontal three rows of the row and the right row (see a in FIG. 22). This variation display of the pearl pattern is to display the pearl pattern while changing its kind. The pearl pattern is displayed in the left variation region L, the middle variation region C, and the right variation region R from above. While moving down, it changes in a cyclic order of (red pearl) (blue pearl) (ash pearl) (rainbow pearl) (red pearl). Each of these four types of pearl designs (red pearls) to pearl designs (rainbow pearls) resemble a spherical stone, and the pearl designs (red pearls) are set in red color. The (blue pearl) is set to a blue color, the pearl pattern (ash pearl) is set to a gray color, and the pearl pattern (rainbow pearl) is set to a rainbow color.

  The change display of the pearl pattern in the left column stops when the player operates the left switch 64. This pattern of pearls in the left column refers to the pattern of pearls in the left variation region L, and is displayed in the same size as the pattern elements in the left column. The stop display of the pearl pattern in the left column stops moving any one of the four (red pearl) (blue pearl) (ash pearl) (rainbow pearl) within the left stop area LE of the left fluctuation area L. This is done by displaying the image in a stationary state (see b in FIG. 22). The change display of the pearl pattern in the middle row stops when the player operates the middle switch 65. The pattern of the pearls in the middle row refers to the pattern of the pearls in the middle fluctuation region C, and is displayed with the same size as the symbol elements in the middle row. In the middle stop area CE of the middle variation area C, stop display of any one of the four (red pearls) (blue pearls) (ash pearls) (rainbow pearls) is stopped. This is performed by displaying the image in a stationary state (see c in FIG. 22). The change display of the pearl pattern in the right column stops when the player operates the right switch 66. This pattern of pearls in the right column refers to the pattern of pearls in the right variation region R, and is displayed in the same size as the pattern elements in the right column. The stop display of the pearl pattern in the right row stops moving any one of the four (red pearl) (blue pearl) (ash pearl) (rainbow pearl) within the right stop area RE of the right variation area R. This is done by displaying in a stationary state (see d in FIG. 22).

  A display time is set for the pseudo-variation video. This display time is equivalent to the time limit for displaying the pseudo-variable video. If the display time has not elapsed since the display of the pseudo-variable video has started, the left column All of the pearl pattern in the middle row, the pearl pattern in the middle row, and the pearl pattern in the right row are stopped and displayed, and each of the pearl pattern in the left row to the pearl pattern in the right row is displayed again in a variable state. (See e in FIG. 22). That is, before the display time elapses, the player can repeat the operation of the left switch 64 to repeat the stop display of the pattern of the left row of beads, and the player can repeat the operation of the middle switch 65 to repeat the operation of the middle row of beads. The stop display of the pattern of the right can be repeated, and the stop display of the pattern of the pearls in the right column can be repeated by repeating the operation of the right switch 66.

  In the pseudo variation image, the point value is added to the total point value each time the pearl pattern in the left column, the middle column, and the right column is stopped and displayed. The value of this point is determined when the pearl pattern (red pearl) is stopped and displayed in the left stop area LE, when the pearl pattern (red pearl) is stopped and displayed in the middle stop area CE, and in the right stop area RE. Is set to (2) for each case where the pearl pattern (red pearl) is stopped and displayed, and the pearl pattern (blue pearl) is stopped and displayed in the left stop area LE and in the middle stop area CE. It is set to (1) for each of the case where the pearl pattern (blue pearl) is stopped and displayed and the case where the pearl pattern (blue pearl) is stopped and displayed in the right stop area RE. When the pearl pattern (ash pearl) is stopped and displayed in the LE, when the pearl pattern (ash pearl) is stopped and displayed in the middle stop area CE, and in the right stop area RE, the pearl pattern (ash pearl) Is set to (0) for each stop display, and a pearl pattern (rainbow pearl) is stopped and displayed in the left stop area LE. In the case where the pearl pattern (rainbow pearl) is stopped and displayed in the middle stop area CE and the case where the pearl pattern (rainbow pearl) is stopped and displayed in the right stop area RE, (0) is also displayed. Is set.

  In the pseudo variation image, a horizontally long rectangular total point area PE is set in the display area of the decorative symbol display 34.

[2-7] Pseudo Fluctuation Effect Processing FIG. 24 shows the pseudo variation effect processing in step S129, and the CPU 61 of the effect control circuit 60 determines whether or not the pseudo variation effect flag is set in the on state in step S181. If it is determined that the pseudo variation effect flag is set in the off state, the pseudo variation effect process is finished. If it is determined that the pseudo variation effect flag is set in the on state, the timer ST is set in step S182. It is determined whether or not the addition result of the value is the effect start time recorded in advance in the ROM 62. This effect start time is set shorter than the fluctuation stop time of the left column in which the display control circuit 70 sets the symbol elements in the left fluctuation region L to the variable stop state, and the CPU 61 adds the value of the timer ST. If it is determined that is not the production start time, the process proceeds to step S190. If it is determined that the addition result of the value of the timer ST is the production start time, the process proceeds to step S183.

  When proceeding to step S183, the CPU 61 sets the left stop flag of the RAM 63 to an off state. This left stop flag is initially set to the off state in step S101. When the CPU 61 sets the left stop flag to the off state in step S183, the CPU 63 sets the intermediate stop flag of the RAM 63 to the off state in step S184. In step S185, the right stop flag of the RAM 63 is set to an off state. Each of the middle stop flag and the right stop flag is initially set to the off state in step S101. When the CPU 61 sets the right stop flag to the off state in step S185, the CPU 61 sets the display control circuit 70 in step S186. A production start command is transmitted. Then, the process proceeds to step S187.

  When receiving the effect start command, the VDP of the display control circuit 70 deletes the symbol elements from the left variation region L, the middle variation region C, and the right variation region R of the decorative symbol display 34, respectively. When the effect start command is transmitted, the symbol elements are displayed in the variation state in the left variation region L to the right variation region R, and the symbol elements in the left variation region L to the right variation region R are displayed. Is erased in a fluctuating state. This effect start command is transmitted when the background image of the decorative design game is switched from the normal image to the pseudo continuous background image in each of the eight video data V01sp to V14sp. Each symbol element in R is erased on the pseudo continuous background image.

  When the VDP of the display control circuit 70 deletes the symbol element from each of the left variation region L to the right variation region R, the display of the pearl pattern in the left variation region L to the right variation region R is started in a variation state. To do. Each pearl pattern in the left variation region L to the right variation region R is displayed in a superimposed manner in front of the pseudo continuous background video by reproducing the image data recorded in advance in the VROM. If you start displaying the pearl pattern in the fluctuation state in each of the left fluctuation area L to the right fluctuation area R, a message (the left switch stops the bead in the left row, the middle switch stops the bead in the middle row, Display the right row of beads with the switch) to prompt the player to operate each of the left switch 64, the middle switch 65, and the right switch 66. This message is displayed in a superimposed manner in front of the pseudo continuous background video by reproducing the image data recorded in advance in the VROM, and a certain time (2 × 1000 msec) has elapsed since the VDP started displaying the message. To delete the message.

  When the CPU 61 transmits an effect start command to the display control circuit 70 in step S186, the CPU 61 sets (0) as the value of the total point P in the RAM 63 in step S187. Then, the total point command 0 is set in step S188, the total point command 0 is transmitted to the display control circuit 70 in step S189, and the process proceeds to step S190. The VDP of the display control circuit 70 displays the total point area PE when the total point command 0 is received. The total point area PE is displayed by superimposing the front of the pseudo continuous background video by reproducing the image data recorded in advance in the VROM. When the VDP receives the total point command 0, the total point area PE is displayed. By displaying the PE without a horizontal bar, the player is informed that the total point value is zero.

  When proceeding to step S190, CPU 61 compares the addition result of the value of timer ST with the production start time and production end time. This effect end time is set shorter than the change stop time 2 in the right column in which the display control circuit 70 sets the symbol elements in the right change region R to the change stop state to generate the Lee state. If it is determined that the addition result of the value of the timer ST is greater than the effect start time and less than the effect end time, the process proceeds to the switch process of step S191.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S190 that the addition result of the timer ST value is greater than the production start time and not smaller than the production end time, it determines in step S192 whether or not the addition result of the timer ST value is the production end time. to decide. If it is determined that the addition result of the timer ST value is the effect end time, an effect end command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70 in step S193, and the pseudo-variable effect flag is set to an off state in step S194.

When the VDP of the display control circuit 70 receives an effect end command, it erases the pearl pattern from each of the left variation region L, the middle variation region C, and the right variation region R, and within the left variation region L to the right. If the bead pattern is erased from each of the fluctuation areas R, the total point area PE is erased, and if the total point area PE is erased, the symbol elements are placed in the left fluctuation area L to the right fluctuation area R, respectively. Is displayed in a fluctuating state. That is, when the pseudo variation effect process is completed, the symbol elements are displayed in a variation state in each of the left variation region L to the right variation region R, and the symbol elements in the left variation region L and the right variation region R are displayed. When the symbol elements are in the fluctuation stop state in order, the reach state is reached, and the symbol elements in the middle fluctuation region C are in the reach state and the fluctuation stop state, so that the decorative symbol is a combination of jackpot or outreach combination.
[2-8] Switch Process FIG. 25 is a switch process of step S191, and the CPU 61 determines whether or not the left switch 64 is in an ON state in step S201. If it is determined that the left switch 64 is in the OFF state, the process proceeds to step S205. If it is determined that the left switch 64 is in the ON state, the process proceeds to step S202.

This left stop flag is set to the on state when the pearl pattern in the left fluctuation region L is variably stopped, and the CPU 61 is in the state where the left switch 64 is in the variability stop state of the pearl pattern in the left fluctuation region L. If it is operated, it is determined in step S202 that the left stop flag is set to the on state, and the process proceeds to step S205, where the left switch 64 is operated in the changing state of the pearl pattern in the left changing region L. In this case, it is determined in step S202 that the left stop flag is set to the off state, and the process proceeds to step S203. Here, the left stop flag is set to the on state, and the process proceeds to step S213 through the bead stop process 1 in step S204.

  When proceeding to step S205, the CPU 61 determines whether or not the middle switch 65 is in an on state. If it is determined that the middle switch 65 is in the off state, the process proceeds to step S209. If it is determined that the middle switch 65 is in the on state, is the middle stop flag set in the off state in step S206? Judge whether or not. This middle stop flag is set to the on state in a state in which the pearl pattern in the middle fluctuation region C is variably stopped, and the CPU 61 is in a state where the middle switch 65 is in the state of fluctuation suspension of the pearl pattern in the middle fluctuation region C. If it is operated, it is determined in step S206 that the middle stop flag is set to the on state, and the process proceeds to step S209, where the middle switch 65 is operated with the variation state of the pearl pattern in the middle variation area C. In this case, it is determined in step S206 that the middle stop flag is set to the off state, and the process proceeds to step S207. Here, the middle stop flag is set to the on state, and the process proceeds to step S213 through the pearl stop process 2 in step S208.

  When proceeding to step S209, the CPU 61 determines whether or not the right switch 66 is in an on state. If it is determined that the right switch 66 is in the OFF state, the switch process is terminated. If it is determined that the right switch 66 is in the ON state, whether or not the right stop flag is set in the OFF state in step S210. Determine whether. This right stop flag is set to the on state in a state where the pearl pattern in the right variation region R is variably stopped, and the CPU 61 is in a state where the right switch 66 is in the variation stop state of the pearl pattern in the right variation region R. If operated, it is determined in step S210 that the right stop flag is set to the on state, and the switch processing is finished. When the right switch 66 is operated in the state of change of the pearl pattern in the right change region R In step S210, it is determined that the right stop flag is set to the OFF state, and the process proceeds to step S211. Here, the right stop flag is set to the ON state, and the process proceeds to step S213 through the bead stop process 3 in step S212.

In step S213, the CPU 61 determines whether all of the left stop flag, the middle stop flag, and the right stop flag are set to the on state. If it is determined that the left stop flag, middle stop flag, or right stop flag is set to the OFF state, the switch process is terminated, and the left stop flag, the middle stop flag, and the right stop flag are all set to the ON state. If it is determined that it has been performed, the process proceeds to step S214. Here, a pseudo-variation restart command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70, and the left stop flag, the middle stop flag, and the right stop flag are set to the OFF state in step S215. When the display control circuit 70 receives the pseudo-variation restart command, the display control circuit 70 resumes the variation display of the pearl patterns in the left variation region L, the middle variation region C, and the right variation region R. That is, the variation display of each pearl pattern in the left variation region L to the right variation region R is performed in the left variation region L by the player operating all of the left switch 64, the middle switch 65, and the right switch 66. When the change display of all the pearl patterns in the right change region R is stopped, the display is resumed.

If it is determined that the right switch 66 is in the OFF state, the switch process is terminated. If it is determined that the right switch 66 is in the ON state, it is determined in step S316 whether the right stop flag is in the OFF state. to decide. If it is determined that the right stop flag is in the on state, the switch process is terminated. If it is determined that the right stop flag is in the off state, the right stop flag is set to the on state in step S317.

  When the CPU 61 sets the right stop flag to the on state in step S317, the CPU 61 determines whether or not the left stop flag is in the off state in step S318. If it is determined that the left stop flag is in the on state, the process proceeds to the pearl stop process B3 in step S321. If it is determined that the left stop flag is in the off state, the middle stop flag is in the off state in step S319. It is judged whether it is in. If it is determined that the medium stop flag is in the on state, the process proceeds to the pearl stop process B3 in step S321. If it is determined that the medium stop flag is in the off state, the process proceeds to the pearl stop process A in step S320. To do.

  FIG. 42 shows the bead stop process A in step S320, and the CPU 61 determines in step S338 that the medium stop flag is set to the off state. In step S340, the right row bead stop command is set according to the bead color selection result, and in step S341, the right row bead stop command is transmitted to the display control circuit 70. That is, when the player first operates the right switch 66 in all the fluctuation states of the pearl pattern in the left column, the pearl pattern in the middle column, and the pearl pattern in the right column, a pearl stop command in the right column is transmitted. As a result, the pattern of the pearls in the right column is in a state of halting fluctuation with a type corresponding to the selection result of the pearl color.

  The pearl stop process B3 in step S321 in FIG. 41 is executed when the player operates the right switch 66 in a state where fluctuation of one or both of the pearl pattern in the left row and the pearl pattern in the middle row is stopped. The CPU 61 sets the right row bead stop command according to the bead color selection result, and transmits the setting result of the right row bead stop command to the display control circuit 70. That is, when the player operates the right switch 66 in a state where the variation of the pearl pattern in the left row is stopped, the variation in the right row is the same as that of the pearl pattern in the left row, and the variation is stopped. When the right switch 66 is operated in the state where the variation of the middle row of beads is stopped, the right row of beads is the same type as the middle row of beads, and the player is left suspended. When the right switch 66 is operated in the state where the variation of the pearl pattern in the middle row is stopped, the pattern of the pearl in the right row is the same type as that of the pearl pattern in the left row and the middle row, and the variation stop state is entered. .

  The CPU 61 performs the bead stop process A in step S306, the bead stop process B1 in step S307, the bead stop process A in step S313, the bead stop process B2 in step S314, the bead stop process A in step S320, or the bead stop process B3 in step S321. When finished, it is determined in step S322 whether all of the left stop flag, the middle stop flag, and the right stop flag are set to the on state. If it is determined that at least one of the left stop flag to the right stop flag is set to the off state, the switch process is finished, and all of the left stop flag to the right stop flag are set to the on state. If it is determined, the process proceeds to the maximum bead subtraction process in step S323.

  FIG. 43 shows the maximum bead number subtraction process in step S323, and the CPU 61 determines in step S351 whether the bead color selection result is red. If it is determined that the bead color selection result is red, the constant value (1) is subtracted from the value of the counter SN1 in step S352, and the process proceeds to the technique command processing 1 in step S353. This technique command processing 1 adds a constant value (2) to the value of the total point P, and transmits a total point command corresponding to the addition result of the total point value to the display control circuit 70 (see FIG. 36). When the CPU 61 completes the technique command process 1 in step S353, the CPU 61 proceeds to the table data setting process in step S359.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S351 that the bead color selection result is not red, it determines in step S354 whether the bead color selection result is blue. If it is determined that the bead color selection result is blue, the constant value (1) is subtracted from the value of the counter SN2 in step S355, and the process proceeds to the technique command processing 2 in step S356. This technique command processing 2 adds a constant value (1) to the value of the total point P, and transmits a total point command corresponding to the addition result of the value of the total point to the display control circuit 70 (see FIG. 37). When the CPU 61 completes the technique command process 2 in step S356, the CPU 61 proceeds to the table data setting process in step S359.

  If the CPU 61 determines in step S354 that the bead color selection result is not blue, it determines in step S357 whether or not the bead color selection result is rainbow. If it is determined that the bead color selection result is rainbow, the constant value (1) is subtracted from the value of the counter SN3 in step S358, and the process proceeds to the table data setting process in step S359. That is, the total point value is a constant value (2) when the combination of the pearl pattern in the left row, the pearl pattern in the middle row, and the pearl pattern in the right row is (red / red / red). When the value is (blue pearl / blue pearl / blue pearl), a constant value (1) is added, and the horizontal bar in the total point area PE of the decorative design indicator 34 is the pearl of the left column. When the combination of the pattern from the pattern to the pearl pattern in the right column is (red / red / red), it becomes longer by an amount corresponding to a certain value (2) and is (blue / blue / blue) In this case, it becomes longer by an amount corresponding to a constant value (1).

  The table data setting process in step S359 of FIG. 43 is performed in the same manner as in step S236 of the bead stop process 1 in FIG. 26, the bead stop process 2 in FIG. 39, and the bead stop process 3 in FIG. 40, and the counter SN1, counter SN2, and counter SN3. Table data values are set in accordance with the respective values, and FIG. 38 shows the relationship between the values of the counters SN1 to SN3 and the values of the table data. That is, in Step S334 of FIG. 42, the pattern of the pearls in the left column to the pattern of the pearls in the right column is a combination of (red pearl / red pearl / red pearl) within the range of the selection result of the maximum number of pearls. The combination of (blue pearl / blue pearl / blue pearl) within the range of the number selection result and the combination of (rainbow rainbow / rainbow pearl / rainbow pearl) within the range of the selection result of the maximum number of rainbow beads A color table is detected.

  When the CPU 61 completes the maximum bead subtraction process in step S323, it transmits a pseudo-variation restart command to the display control circuit 70 in step S324, and sets the left stop flag and the middle stop flag to the off state in step S325. Set. That is, the pattern of each pearl in the left column to the right column is changed to the changed state again when all the patterns of the pearls in the left column to the right column are set in the change stop state.

  The switch process of FIG. 44 is executed by the CPU 61 of the effect control circuit 60 in place of the switch process of FIG. 41. The CPU 61 determines whether or not the left switch 64 is in the on state in step S361, and in step S362. It is determined whether or not the middle switch 65 is in an on state. In step S363, it is determined whether or not the right switch 66 is in an on state. If it is determined that the left switch 64, the middle switch 65, or the right switch 66 is in the ON state, the process proceeds to the pearl stop process in step S364.

  FIG. 45 shows the bead stop processing in step S364. The CPU 61 detects the update result of the value of the counter SC6 from the RAM 63 in step S371, and detects the number selection table in FIG. 27 from the ROM 62 in step S372. In step S373, one table number corresponding to both the table data setting result and the ease of going up selection result is selected from the number selection table. In step S374, one table number corresponding to the table number selection result is selected from the ROM 62. Detect a color table.

  When the CPU 61 detects the bead color table in Step S374, the CPU 61 selects one bead color corresponding to the detection result of the value of the counter SC6 from the detection result of the bead color table in Step S375. Then, in step S376, a sphere stop command in the left row is set according to the selection result of the bead color, in a step S377, a sphere stop command is set in the middle row according to the selection result of the bead color, and in step S378 In accordance with the selection result, the right row ball stop command is set, and the setting results of the left row bead stop command, the middle row bead stop command, and the right row bead stop command are transmitted to the display control circuit 70 in step S379. To do. That is, when the player operates the left switch 64, the middle switch 65, or the right switch 66 in all the fluctuating states of the pearl pattern in the left row, the pearl pattern in the middle row, and the pearl pattern in the right row, the left row The bead stop command, the middle row bead stop command, and the right row bead stop command are transmitted, so that the left row bead design, the middle row bead design, and the right row bead design each other In the same type, a variable stop state is entered.

  When the CPU 61 finishes the bead stop process in step S365, the CPU 61 proceeds to the maximum bead number subtraction process in step S365. The maximum bead subtraction process in step S365 has the same contents as the maximum bead subtraction process in FIG. 43, and when the CPU 61 finishes the maximum bead subtraction process in step S365, the CPU 61 causes the display control circuit 70 in step S366. Send a pseudo-variable resume command.
