Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine equipped with a variable winning device capable of converting a ball into a first state in which it is difficult to receive a ball and a second state in which it is easy to receive a ball.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various pachinko machines equipped with a variable winning device capable of converting a ball into a first state in which it is difficult to receive a ball and a second state in which it is easy to receive a ball have been proposed. When playing with these pachinko machines, it is in the player's interest to win as many balls as possible into the variable winning device when the variable winning device converts the balls into the second state in which the balls are easily accepted.

[0003]

Therefore, the player must always grasp the state of the winning device arranged in the game section and operate the operation handle for adjusting the firing force of the hit ball. , I could not fully enjoy the interest of the game because I concentrated on operating the operating handle. In addition, for beginners who are inexperienced in pachinko games, in the second state, which is advantageous for the player who easily accepts hit balls,
In some cases, it was not possible to obtain the full profit.

The above-mentioned disadvantages are remarkable in a pachinko machine of a type in which a special game is started by hitting a hit ball in a special game starting area while the right of the special game is generated. That is, in the pachinko machine of the type described above, the special game right is generated by the hit ball winning in the special right occurrence area, and the special game is generated by winning the hit ball in the special game starting area while the right of the special game is occurring. However, if the ball hits the special right generation area again during the generation of the special game, the right of the special game is lost. In this type of pachinko machine, normally, a winning device or the like is arranged so that a player who shoots a ball toward the left side of the game section can easily win the ball in the special right generation area.

Therefore, in order to maximize the profit of the special game, the so-called left hitting is performed so that the hitting ball flows down the left side of the game part during the normal game, and the right side of the special game occurs when the right of the special game occurs. It was necessary to frequently operate the operation handle according to the gaming state, such as performing so-called right hitting in which the hit ball flows down on the right side.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems, and is intended to enhance the enjoyment of a game by simplifying the operation of the player during the game. A variable display device that can be sequentially converted, a variable display device starting region that starts display conversion of the variable display device based on a winning of a ball, and a special right generation region that generates a right of special game based on winning of a ball, A specific winning area which is an area for introducing a sphere into the special right generation area and is convertible into a first state in which it is difficult to accept the sphere and a second state in which it is easy to accept the sphere based on the stop display mode of the variable display device, A sorting device, which is connected to the variable display device starting area and can be converted into a first state in which it is difficult to receive a ball and a second state in which it is easy to receive a ball, and a sorting device provided below the sorting device, and a right to play a special game is being generated. The ball wins A special game starting area for starting a special game by and a first state in which it is difficult to accept a ball and a second state which is provided above the specific winning area and is difficult to accept the ball based on winning of the ball in the special starting area. And a special winning area that can be converted into.

Furthermore, the identification symbol conversion time of the variable display device and the second state in which it is easy to accept the sphere in the sorting device,
It is fluctuated in a predetermined relationship, the second state holding time in which the sphere in the specific winning area is easily accepted and the second state in which the sphere in the sorting apparatus is easily accepted is changed in a predetermined relationship, and the sphere in the special winning area is changed. The easy-to-accept second state holding time and the easy-to-accept second state of the sphere in the sorting device may be changed in a predetermined relationship.

[0008]

When the hit ball shot in the game section wins the variable display device starting area, the variable display device sequentially converts a plurality of identification symbols. When the stop display mode of the variable display device is a predetermined hit mode, the specific winning area is changed from the first state in which it is difficult to receive the ball to the second state in which the ball is easily received. At this time, if the ball that has won the specific winning area further wins the special right generating area, the right to the special game is generated. When the special game right is generated, the hit ball wins the sorting device, and when this winning ball wins the special game starting area, the special game state is entered, and the special winning area receives the ball from the first state where it is difficult to accept the ball. Convert to a more acceptable second state. In addition, the identification symbol conversion time of the variable display device and the second state in which the sphere in the sorting device is easy to accept,
It can also be changed in a predetermined relationship. Further, the second state holding time in which the sphere in the specific winning area is easily received and the second state in which the sphere is easily received in the sorting apparatus can be changed in a predetermined relationship. Further, the second state holding time in which the sphere is easily received in the special winning area and the second state in which the sphere is easily received in the sorting device can be changed in a predetermined relationship.

In addition, the wing piece rotating shaft 19 projecting from the rear surface of the wing piece 5 communicates with a wing piece driving member 20 formed of a solenoid provided on the back side of the substrate 15 via a crank member 21 and a connecting member 22. Normally, the wing piece 5 is closed by the urging member 23 formed of a spring provided on the plunger of the wing piece drive member 20 (solenoid) to close the wing piece 5 and it is difficult for a hit ball to enter the big winning opening 6. It is in 1 state. Then, when the special game is started, the winglet driving member 2 is held for a predetermined fixed condition.
0 (solenoid) is excited and the plunger is attracted, the wing piece 5 is opened, and it is converted into the second state where the hit ball is easily received in the special winning opening 6.

The normal electric accessory 9 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. Ordinary electric accessory 9 is a board 2 attached to the game board
A pair of ball receiving pieces 7 are rotatably attached to the left and right of the upper part of the shaft 4. A shaft 25 protruding from the rear surface of the ball receiving piece 7 is connected to a ball receiving piece driving member 26, which is a solenoid provided on the back side of the substrate 24, via a crank member 27 and a connecting member 28. The ball receiving piece 7 is usually an urging member 2 formed of a spring provided on a plunger of a ball receiving piece drive member 26 (solenoid).
The ball receiving piece 7 is closed by the urging force of 9 to bring the hit ball into the specific winning area 8 into the first state in which it is difficult to win. Then, the display of the variable display device 4 is a predetermined display mode, for example, “7”.
When it becomes "7", "7", etc., the ball receiving piece driving member 26 (solenoid) is excited for a certain period of time, the plunger is attracted, the ball receiving piece 7 opens, and it is easy to receive a hit ball in the specific winning area 8. Convert to the second state.

FIG. 5 shows the specific winning area 8. The specific winning area 8 is formed by vertically arranging a surrounding member 32, which has a ball passage opening 31 through which a ball can pass, in the upper center of the front surface of a substrate 30 attached to the game board. An opening / closing member 33 is provided substantially at the center inside the specific winning area 8

It is difficult for a ball that has won in the area 8 to win in the special right generation area 10, and the ball can be held on the slide piece 38. Then, when the slide piece driving member (solenoid) 39 is excited and the plunger is attracted, the slide piece 38 slides between the slide piece holding members 37 toward the back side of the substrate 30, and a ball is placed between the slide piece holding members 37. When a ball is held on the slide piece 38 while forming a region through which the ball can pass, the holding ball flows down toward the special right generation region 10. In this state, the balls that have won the specific winning area 8 are likely to win the special right occurrence area 10.

The sorting device 12 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. The sorting device 12 has a cylindrical ball-holding frame 42, which is open at a part of the upper end, in a substantially central position of a base plate 41 attached to a game board. Sphere holding portion 43 capable of holding one sphere on a part of the surface
The rotator 44 provided with is rotatably attached. A rotary shaft 45 is provided on the back surface of the rotary body 44 so as to project from the rotary shaft 4.
At the rear end of 5, there is provided a rotating device 46 composed of a motor. A variable display start switch 13 is provided above the sorting device 12.

The hit ball detected by the variable display device start switch 13 and taken into the ball holding portion 43 of the sorting device 12 is guided to the special game starting area 11 provided below the sorting device 12 by the rotation of the rotating body 44. Then, it is detected by the special game start switch 47. In the present embodiment, the hit ball that has won the variable display device starting port 13 is configured to be taken into the special game starting area 11 by being taken into the sorting device 12, but the ball taken into the sorting device 12 May not necessarily win the special game starting area 11, but may flow down through another downflow path.

Further, in the present embodiment, the winglet driving member 20 and
The ball receiving piece drive member 26 and the solenoid are formed,
These members are not limited to solenoids, and may be any members as long as they can drive the wing pieces 5 and the like. Further, although the motor is used as the rotating device 46 in this embodiment, the rotating device 46
Is not limited to a motor, and may be any device that can rotate the rotating body 44.

In the game on the pachinko machine shown in this embodiment, when the batting ball is won in the special right generation area 10 and the special game right is generated, when the batting ball is won in the special right generation area 10 again, the right of the special game is played. Is configured to disappear. Therefore, when the right to play the special game is generated, it is necessary to adjust the downward direction of the hit ball so that the hit ball does not win the special right generation area 10 again.

However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the spheres stored in the sphere storage portion 14 provided above the variable display device starting switch 13 are stored in the variable display device starting switch 13.
However, the fall of the detection signal at this time is used as a trigger to start the conversion of the normal symbols in the variable display device 4. Then, the rotation speed of the rotating device (motor) 46 is adjusted so that it takes about 12 seconds for the rotating body 44 of the sorting device 12 to make one rotation, and the conversion time of the normal symbol in the variable display device 4 is about 7 seconds (Fig. 9A), the operating time of the ordinary electric accessory is set to about 4 seconds (FIG. 9B).

Then, the variable display device start switch 13 detects a sphere, the display conversion of the normal symbol in the variable display device 4 is started, and thereafter, the stop display mode of the normal symbol in the variable display device 4 is a hit mode. When it comes to normal electric accessories 9
Works.

The normal electric accessory 9 operates and the specific winning area 8
When the hit ball that has won in the special right generation area 10 wins,
The right to play special games occurs.

When a hit ball is won in the special game starting area 11 in the state where the right for this special game is generated, the special game is started, and the special winning opening 6 is opened for a certain time, for example, 7 seconds (FIG. 9C).

When a special game is played and the special winning opening 6 is open, the wing pieces 5 of the special winning opening 6 and obstacle nails planted around the special winning opening 6 cause the game section 2 to move. It is configured so that the hit ball that has flowed down the upper portion does not flow down around the ordinary electric accessory 9 that leads to winning of the special right generation area 10.

Therefore, the special winning opening 6 will continue to be opened while the ordinary electric accessory 9 is operated and the specific winning area 8 is opened. Therefore, when a special game is being played, the possibility that a hit ball will win in the specific winning area 8 that leads to winning in the special right occurrence area 10 is extremely low.

Furthermore, a predetermined number of coins, for example 1
There are 0 winnings, and the special winning opening 6 has a predetermined opening time (7
Even if the release is completed earlier than 100 seconds, the number of shot balls per unit time in the pachinko machine is 100 pieces / minute or less, so it means that a predetermined number of 10 pieces will be present on the game board surface for about 6 seconds. , Opening the special winning opening 6
When the second has passed, the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 9 has already stopped and the specific winning area 8 has been closed. Therefore, also in this case, when a special game is being played, the possibility that a hit ball will be won in the specific winning area 8 that leads to winning in the special right occurrence area 10 is extremely low.

As described above, in this embodiment, even if the right to the special game is generated, it is not necessary to adjust the downward direction of the hit ball each time, and the troublesome operation which requires skill is unnecessary.

An electric control device 48 for controlling the driving of the above-mentioned devices will be described with reference to the block diagram shown in FIG. The electric control device 48 is a central processing unit (CPU 49)
And a storage device (ROM 50, RAM 51) as main components, and a power supply circuit 52 for supplying power to the CPU 49,
A frequency dividing circuit 53 for supplying a clock, a sound generator 54 for generating sound, and the like are in communication. In addition, the sound generator 54 is connected to the speaker 5 via the amplifier 55.
6 has been contacted and the sound effect of the game is generated.

The variable display starting port 1 is connected to the CPU 49 through the buffer gate 57 and the low pass filter 58.
3, the special game starting area 11, the special right generation area 10, the special winning opening winning count switch 18, etc. are in contact, and signals from these devices are received.

A signal is transmitted from the CPU 49 through the output port 59 and the driver 60, and the variable display device 4
Ordinary symbol to be displayed on (7-segment display 3 ...), ball receiving piece driving member 26, wing piece driving member 20, opening / closing member 33, rotating device 46, operation display 61 of big winning opening 6, big winning opening winning count switch The count display 62 by 18, the special right generation display 63, the operation display 64 of the ordinary electric auditors product 9, the normal symbol conversion display 65 of the variable display device 4, and the illegal display 66 are controlled.

FIG. 11 shows a game in the above-mentioned pachinko machine.
From now on, description will be made based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
When the process is started, it is first determined whether or not the power is turned on, and when the power is turned on, that is, when the store is opened, an initialization flag is set and initialized as an initialization process.

On the other hand, when the power is not turned on, input processing for inputting necessary information to the electric control device 48, and output of necessary information to each device installed in the gaming machine from the electric control device 48 Output processing.

Then, it is judged whether or not the state is illegal,
If it is not in the illegal state, the variable display start switch 1
3 winning process (universal figure working mouth winning process), variable display device 4
Control process of normal symbols and normal electric auditors 9 to be displayed on, sorting process for controlling rotation of sorting device 11, special game control process for performing control in special game (special device operation control process), opening / closing of special winning opening 6 Perform the special winning opening operation control process for controlling. On the other hand, if a fraud occurs and it is determined that the fraud is in an improper state, the fraud processing is performed to stop the game or warn the fraud in the improper state, and the above processing is skipped to proceed to the next lamp / LED display processing. ..

Then, a lamp for displaying a game state or the like and L
The display process of the ED is performed, the voice output process for controlling the voice generated according to the game state and the like is performed, the random number used for the display of the normal symbol is updated, and one cycle of the process is completed.

The details of each of the above processes will be described. 12
The winning process of the variable display device start switch 13 is shown in FIG. In the variable display device start switch winning process, first, it is determined whether or not the variable display device start switch 13 detects a winning ball and is turned on.

When the variable display device start switch 13 is turned on, a random number value for determining the normal symbol displayed on the variable display device 4 is extracted.

FIG. 13 shows the control processing of the normal symbol and the normal electric accessory 9. Further, in the present embodiment, the probability that the normal symbol is a hit is controlled, and the special game is configured to easily occur continuously, and a timing chart for explaining this probability control is shown in FIG. There is.

First, the probability control will be described. At the start of the game, the probability of winning a normal symbol is low, eg 1 /
It is 220. Then, when the special game right is generated and the special game is performed a predetermined number of times, for example, 16 times, or when the special game right is finished again and the special game right is finished, the probability of winning the normal symbol is high. , For example 1 /
22. When the special game right is generated again in this state, the probability of winning the normal symbol is low.

Therefore, after the right to the special game is generated once and the special game is played, the right to the second special game is likely to be generated successively.

Hereinafter, the normal game state is defined as a game number "0", and the game state until the first special game is completed after the right of the special game is generated is defined as the game number "1", and the first special game is defined. The game state with a high probability of winning the normal symbol until the end of the second special game is designated as the game number "2", and the second special game is generated after the right of the second special game is generated. The game state until the end is described as a game number "3".

Next, the control process of the normal symbol and the normal electric accessory 9 will be described. In this process, first, the operating state of the ordinary electric accessory 9 is determined. When the ordinary electric accessory 9 is operating,
The state of the operation timer for controlling the operation time of the ordinary electric auditors product 9 is judged, and when the predetermined operation time, for example, 5.9 seconds is over, the operation of the ordinary electric auditors product 9 is ended and the sorting flag is set. Set and start the wait timer.

On the other hand, when the normal electric accessory 9 is not operating, while the normal symbol of the variable display device 4 is fluctuating, the state of the variation timer for controlling the variation time of the ordinary symbol of the variable display device 4 is judged. However, a predetermined variation time, for example, 5.
During 0 seconds, symbol variation processing is performed. Then, when the predetermined variation time ends in advance, the variation stop processing of the normal symbol is performed, and it is determined whether or not the stopped symbol is a hit.

Here, in the case of a lost design, it is determined whether or not the initial flag is set. When the initial flag is set, the variable display device 4
If the 7-segment display 3 at the left end and the 7-segment display 3 at the center display the same, the morning flag is set and the morning signal is turned on to the management device. It informs that the morning process is in progress, clears the initial flag, and ends the process.

The above-mentioned morning flag is a flag for making the game play in a more advantageous state for the player than in the normal game state when the game store is opened. If this morning flag is set, the probability that the stop display mode of the variable display device 4 will be a high probability as a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than usual, for example, 1/2 in normal time.
If it is 20, it is set to 1/22 which is 10 times.

By performing this morning processing, the player's expectation for the game when the game shop is opened can be increased, and the interest of the game can be increased.

Further, the setting of the morning flag is not limited to the above-mentioned case, and the variable display device displays a predetermined symbol within a predetermined number of times after the game starts, for example, "1""3""7". , Or the variable display device 4 is in a reach state by display conversion within a predetermined number of times, for example, when the symbols at the left end and the center are stopped at "7" and "7", or the variable display device is in a predetermined stop display mode. It may be set in the reach state, for example, when the symbols at the left end and the center stop at "1" and "1".

Further, in the case of a defective design, when the initial flag is not set and when the display of the 7-segment display 3 at the left end and the 7-segment display 3 at the center do not match, the processing ends. ..

On the other hand, when the stop display mode of the variable display device 4 is a winning symbol, the operation starting process of the ordinary electric accessory 9 is performed to operate the ordinary electric accessory 9, and the ordinary electric accessory 9 is operated. The operation timer is started, the morning flag is cleared, and the morning signal transmitted to the management device is turned off.

When the normal electric accessory 9 is not in operation and the normal symbol of the variable display device 4 is not changing, it is determined whether or not there is a random number value in the random number determination area.

Here, if there is no random number value in the random number determination area, the process is terminated, while if there is a random number value in the random number determination region, the variation start process of the normal symbol in the variable display device 4 is performed. While normally changing the symbol, start the fluctuation timer of the ordinary symbol.

Then, the game state is judged, the game number is "2", that is, the normal state until the second special game is generated after the first special game is finished is high in the probability of winning. In this case, the random number value stored in the random number determination area in the variable display device start switch winning process is compared with the hit random number value (the hit random number value in a state where a hit is likely to occur). When the hit design is selected and it is determined that the random design is lost, the lost design is selected and the random number determination area is cleared.

On the other hand, when the game number is other than "2", that is, in the game state in which the probability that the normal symbol is won is low, the random number value and the hit random number value stored in the random number determination area in the variable display device start switch winning process. (Right random number value in the state where the probability of hitting is low) is compared, and if it is judged to be a hit, the hit design is selected, and if it is judged to be a hit, the hit design is selected and the random number judgment area is cleared. To do.

FIG. 14 shows the classification process. In the classification processing, first, it is determined whether the classification processing flag is set. Then, when the classification processing flag is set, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing member 33 is operating, and when the opening / closing member 33 is not operating, that is, the slide piece 38 projects into the specific winning area 8. The ball is difficult to flow into the special right generation area 10 and the slide piece 8
In the case where the ball can be held above, the state of the weight timer is checked, and when the weight timer times out, the opening / closing member 33 starts to operate so that the ball easily flows into the special right generation area 10. Start the activation timer.

On the other hand, when the opening / closing member 33 is in operation, the state of the operation timer is checked, and when the operation timer times out, the operation of the opening / closing member 33 is stopped and the sorting flag is cleared. Further, when the separation processing flag is not set, and after the above processing is completed, the separation device 12
Rotation processing is performed to rotate.

In the sorting process of this embodiment, since the single sorting device 12 is used, the rotational position of each sorting device 12 is determined as compared with the case where a plurality of sorting devices 12 are used. No correction processing is required. Further, it is not necessary to set the initial position when the power is turned on. Further, since the variable display device starting area is provided immediately above the sorting device 12, it is difficult to accept the identification symbol conversion time of the variable display device 4 and the sphere in the sorting device 12.
The state and can be constant.

Therefore, since a positioning sensor for determining the rotational position of the sorting device 12 is not required, the structure is simple and the assembly is easy. Furthermore, the sorting device 12
Since the method for controlling the rotation of and the operation of other members is simple, the control procedure in the control device can be simplified.

FIG. 15 shows the special game control processing (special device operation control processing). In the special game control process,
When the state of the special right generation switch 35 is judged and the special right generation area 10 is won and the special right generation switch 35 is turned on, it is judged whether the special game right has already been generated.

If the right to the special game has already occurred, the game state is judged and the game number is "1",
That is, when the right of the special game is generated in a state where the probability of winning the normal symbol is low, the game number is set to "2", that is, the right of the special game is extinguished by setting the state in which the probability of winning the normal symbol is high. Let

On the other hand, when the game number is other than "1", that is, when the right of the special game is generated in a state where the probability that the normal symbol is a hit is high, the game number is "0", that is, the ordinary symbol is a hit. The special game right is extinguished as a state with a low probability of becoming.

In the above-mentioned determination of the right generation state of the special game, when the right of the special game is not generated, the state of the game is judged, and the probability that the game number is "0", that is, the normal symbol is a win. When the special game right is generated in a low state, the game number is "1", that is, the first time in the state where the probability of occurrence of the second special game is high after the first special game is finished. As a special game right is generated.

On the other hand, if the game number is other than "0", that is, if the right to the special game is generated in a state where there is a high probability that the normal symbol is a hit, the game number is "3", that is, the first special game. After the completion of, the right of the special game is generated as the second time in the state where the probability of occurrence of the second special game is high. Then, the count of the special game starting area 14 is cleared and the processing is ended.

FIG. 16 shows an operation control process of the special winning opening 6. First, determine the operating state of the special winning opening 6,
When is operating, the special winning prize winning count switch 1
Every time 8 detects a winning ball, "1" is added to the special winning opening winning count memory, and the big winning opening winning count memory is "10".
Then, the operation of the special winning opening 6 is finished.

On the other hand, when the special winning opening winning count switch 18 does not detect a winning ball while the special winning opening 6 is in operation, the state of the operation timer is judged, and when the operation timer expires, the big winning opening 6 End the operation of. Here, if the winning count is “0”, the fraudulent process of no count is started. This is because there is no winning in the special winning opening 6 during operation of the special winning opening 6 and the special winning opening winning count switch 18 does not count the winning balls. This is to determine that it has occurred.

Then, when the right of the special game is generated, the state of the special game start switch 47 is determined, the special game start area 11 is won, the special game start switch 47 is turned on, and the special winning opening 6 is opened. When not operating, the special winning opening winning count is cleared, the special winning opening operation timer is started, and the operation of the special winning opening 6 is started. On the other hand, when the special winning opening 6 is in operation, the above processing is skipped.

Then, "1" is added to the special game starting area winning count to determine the state of the special game starting area winning count.

Here, when the special game starting area winning count becomes "16", the game state is judged and the game number is "1", that is, the normal symbol is low in the probability of winning the special game. When the right is generated, the game number is set to "2", that is, the state where there is a high probability that the normal symbol is a hit is eliminated.

On the other hand, when the game number is other than "1", that is, when the right of the special game is generated in a state where the probability that the normal symbol is a win is high, the game number is "0", that is, the normal symbol is a hit. The special game right is extinguished as a state with a low probability of becoming.

FIG. 17 shows lamp / LED display processing. When the illegal processing is being performed, the fact that the illegal processing is being performed is displayed (illegal display 66), and when the special winning opening 6 is in operation, it is displayed that the special winning opening 6 is in operation (large winning. The number of winnings to the special winning opening 6 is displayed on the counting display together with the mouth operation display 61) (the big winning opening winning count display 62), and the right of the special game is being generated while the right of the special game is being generated. In addition to displaying (special right occurrence display 63), the number of winnings in the special game starting area 14 is displayed on the counting display, and the fact that the normal electric auditors product 9 is operating is displayed when the normal electric auditors product 9 is operating. Display (ordinary electric accessory operation display 64), variable display device 4
While the normal symbol is changing, it is displayed that the normal symbol is changing (normal symbol fluctuation display 65).

FIG. 18 shows a voice output process. When the fraudulent process is performed, a sound indicating that the fraudulent process is being performed is generated, and when the special winning opening 6 is in operation, a count sound is generated each time the special winning opening winning count switch 18 is turned on. A sound indicating that the special winning opening 6 is in operation is generated, and a sound indicating that the normal electric accessory 9 is in operation is generated while the normal electric accessory 9 is operating, and the normal symbol of the variable display device 4 is generated. A voice indicating that the normal symbol is changing is generated during the change, and a voice indicating that the right for the special game is generated during the right for the special game is generated.

FIG. 19 shows another embodiment of the control processing of the ordinary symbol and the ordinary electric accessory 9. In this process, first, the operating state of the ordinary electric accessory 9 is determined. When the ordinary electric accessory 9 is in operation, the state of the operation timer for controlling the operation time of the ordinary electric accessory 9 is judged, and when the predetermined operation time, for example, 5.9 seconds is over, the ordinary electric accessory 9 is terminated. The operation of the object 9 is completed, the sorting flag is set, and the wait timer is started.

On the other hand, when the ordinary electric accessory 9 is not operating, while the ordinary symbol of the variable display device 4 is varying, the state of the variation timer for controlling the variation time of the ordinary symbol of the variable display device 4 is judged. However, a predetermined variation time, for example, 5.
During 0 seconds, symbol variation processing is performed. Then, when the predetermined fluctuation time ends in advance, the fluctuation stop process of the normal symbol is performed, and the state of the initial flag is checked.

If the initial flag is set here,
It is determined whether or not the stop display mode of the variable display device 4 is a predetermined symbol, and the morning flag is set when the predetermined symbol, for example, the left end is "7" and the center is "7", and the initial flag is set. To clear.

Then, when the initial flag is not set and when the stop display mode of the variable display device 4 is not a predetermined predetermined symbol, the process is merged, and the stop display mode of the variable display device 4 hits. To determine if.
When the stop display mode of the variable display device 4 is a win, the operation of the ordinary electric accessory is started, the ordinary electric accessory operation timer is started, the morning flag is cleared, and the initial flag is cleared.

When the ordinary electric accessory 9 is not in operation and the ordinary pattern of the variable display device 4 is not changing, it is determined whether or not there is a random number value in the random number determination area.

Here, if there is no random value in the random number judgment area, the process is terminated, while if there is a random value in the random number judgment area, it is judged whether or not the initial flag is set.

Then, when the initial flag is set, the number of display conversions of the variable display device 4 is counted up, and when the count value reaches 50 times, the initial flag is cleared. That is, until the display conversion of the variable display device 4 is performed 50 times, a game is performed in which a morning process that is advantageous to the player as compared with the normal game may be performed.

Then, the variation start process of the normal symbol in the variable display device 4 is performed to vary the normal symbol, and the variation timer of the normal symbol is started.

Then, the game state is judged, and the game number is "2", that is, the normal state until the second special game is generated after the first special game is finished is high in the probability of winning. In this case, the random number value stored in the random number determination area in the variable display device start switch winning process is compared with the hit random number value (the hit random number value in a state where a hit is likely to occur). When the hit design is selected and it is determined that the random design is lost, the lost design is selected and the random number determination area is cleared.

On the other hand, when the game number is other than "2", that is, in the case of a game state in which the probability of winning a normal symbol is low, the state of the morning flag is determined. Here, when the morning flag is set, the same process as the above-mentioned game number "2" is performed. That is, as the morning process, the player is allowed to play the game in a more advantageous state than the normal game. On the other hand, when the morning flag is not set, the random number value stored in the random number determination area in the variable display device start switch winning process is compared with the hit random number value (the hit random number value in the state where the hit probability is low). Then, when it is determined to be a hit, the hit symbol is selected, and when it is determined to be a miss, the lost symbol is selected to clear the random number determination area.
