2. Description of the Related Art Conventional pachinko gaming machines include so-called first-class pachinko gaming machines called fever type and digital pachi, so-called second-class pachinko gaming machines called hikoki type and honeymono, and right-of-use. There are third-class pachinko game machines that are called, and pachinko game machines that are called general electric players.

Among these models, in the first type pachinko gaming machine, a predetermined symbol is fixed on the variable display portion of the variable display device based on the winning of the game ball into the starting winning opening provided in the game portion. The variable display game is performed in which the variable display is performed in the order of
The stop display of the middle symbol display portion and the right symbol display portion is a specific stop pattern (for example, "1, 1, 1", with a predetermined probability).
"2,2,2", "3,3,3", "4,4,4",
"5, 5, 5", "6, 6, 6", "7, 7, 7", etc., or "☆, ☆, ☆", "◆, ◆, ◆"
When the same symbol or the same pattern such as) becomes, the big winning opening of the variable winning device is converted to an open state so as to be advantageous to the player, and the player is allowed to play a so-called special game, Players are given a lot of chances to win prize balls to connect the interests of the player and to secure a certain profit of the game store. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine described above, an ordinary electric accessory serving as a specific winning portion for converting a game medium into a state in which it is easy to win a prize under a predetermined condition is provided in the gaming portion.

By the way, in a game store operating with a pachinko gaming machine as described above, the number of game balls consumed by the player (that is, the so-called effective number of shot balls obtained by subtracting the number of foul balls from the number of shot balls) The ratio of prize balls paid out to the player by the store (that is, the number of balls acquired by the player) is an important factor for management. If the ratio is referred to as a base value, the adjustment of the base value has conventionally been performed by adjusting the nails implanted in the game section of the pachinko gaming machine. However, this nail adjustment requires considerable skill, and it is very difficult to always maintain the base value at a predetermined value by adjusting the nails. Was unstable. Therefore, a launch ball detector (so-called launch sensor) is provided in the ball feeding unit that feeds the game ball to the ball launch position of the launch rail of the game board, and the game ball that has become a foul without collecting into the game area is collected. A foul sensor as a foul ball detecting means is provided in the foul ball collecting trough, and the number of foul balls counted based on the detection signal of the foul sensor from the number of firing balls counted based on the detection signal of the firing ball detector. The number of game spheres minus is the effective number of balls to be used as the basis for the base value calculation, and a specific winning opening consisting of gate-shaped prize switches attached to the left and right sides of an ordinary electric accessory installed on the game board. The detection signal emitted when a ball passes is counted as the number of winning balls, and based on the ratio of the number of effective balls and the number of winning balls, the opening / closing operation of ordinary electric auditors is performed. By monitoring the winning rate Yichun controlled to have come to approach which tries to keep the base value constant is used.

A first variable display game, and based on a predetermined result of the first variable display game, a specific winning section that operates to convert a game medium into a state in which it is easy to win a prize, and a winning of the specific winning section A second variable display game in which predetermined symbols are changed in a fixed order on the variable display portion of the variable display device arranged in the game portion, and the symbols are stopped and displayed in a predetermined order on the condition that the medium is won. In the gaming machine configured to execute the special game in which the game medium is converted into a state in which the game medium is easily won based on the specific result of the second variable display game, Count detection signals "1" is added when the number of detection signals counted by the output signal counting means and the detection signal counting means reaches a specified number, and "1" is subtracted when a game medium is won in the specific winning portion. Winning monitoring and counting means,
If the count by the prize monitoring and counting means is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the time during which the specific winning portion is converted is set longer than a predetermined reference time, and the count by the prize monitoring and counting means is less than the predetermined value. In this case, it is characterized by comprising a winning rate control means for controlling a winning rate to the specific winning section by setting a time for the specific winning section to perform a conversion operation shorter than a predetermined reference time.

[0008]

According to the present invention, "1" is added when the number of detection signals of the game medium by the prize detector reaches a prescribed number, and "1" is subtracted when the game medium is won in a specific winning portion. Based on the predetermined counting result of the prize monitoring and counting means, the so-called base value is managed by appropriately adjusting the time during which the specific winning portion is operated for conversion. It is not necessary to provide a foul sensor, the number of parts of the game machine can be reduced, and the structure is simple so that the manufacturing cost can be suppressed and the base value can be kept constant with the same accuracy as the conventional one. .
Also, as a part of managing the base value, the winning of the game medium to the specific winning part is associated, and when the gaming medium wins the specific winning part, "1" is subtracted in the winning monitoring counting means, and finally, In the case where the winning of a specific winning portion continues, the count by the prize monitoring counting means becomes less than a predetermined value, and the winning rate control means works to shorten the conversion operation time of the specific winning portion. It is possible to keep the so-called hit probability constant.

FIG. 15 shows step S in phase 1.
3 is a detail flow chart showing a control processing procedure of a subroutine of input processing defined in 1. Here, the input process is a process in which the state of each SW is decomposed, chattering is removed, and a format that can be used in each process is prepared. The SW information necessary for each process is SW ON (rising edge) and SW current state (ON or OFF SW).
Level status). In this input processing, first, in step S100, a stack pointer that indicates from where in the stack memory the data is to be extracted is designated,
Proceeding to step S101, a process of reading the physical state of the SW whether or not the switch is turned on is performed, and step S1
In step S102 to S106, the active logic is converted from a negative logic input to a positive logic input, chattering is removed, the current logic state is calculated, the current state is stored in RAM, and the SW The rising edge is detected and the active state is stored in the RAM, the subroutine program is terminated, and the process returns to the main process. It should be noted that this phase is executed every reset interrupt of 2 msec.

FIG. 16 shows the control procedure of the subroutine of the processing in steps S2 to S4 of phase 1 and step S5. When this process is started, first, in step S200, it is determined whether or not the power has just been turned on, or the RAM
If it is determined whether the inspection data is abnormal or not, and if it is determined that the power is just turned on or the RAM inspection data is abnormal, the process proceeds to step S201 to clear the RAM area, and the process proceeds to step S202 to perform each control. Initial data of the area is written and stored, and step S4 of phase 1 is performed.
Move on to the process of reading the setting value of. On the other hand, the step S
If it is determined in 200 that it is not immediately after the power is turned on, that is, if it is operating at a game shop or if it is determined that there is no abnormality in the RAM inspection data, the processes of steps S201 and S202 are not performed. In step S203, it is determined whether or not the RAM inspection data check is completed. If the RAM inspection data check is not completed, a loop is formed to return to step S200, and the RAM data inspection process is repeatedly performed. When it is determined that the check of the RAM inspection data is completed in step S203, the process proceeds to the setting process of step S5 of phase 1.

FIG. 17 shows a control processing procedure of a subroutine for performing a predetermined interrupt processing for creating on-level composite information of the count SW in the processing process of the phase 1 of the main processing of FIG. 13, based on the interrupt signal (INT). Then, the CPU in operation is interrupted and step S204 is executed. In step S204, after the on-level synthesis information of the count SW is created, the process returns to the main process. It should be noted that this interrupt process is repeatedly executed every 1 msec.

FIG. 18 shows a control processing procedure of a subroutine of the setting value reading processing defined in step S4 in the main processing of FIG. When this set value reading process is started, first in step S300, as shown in FIG.
When it is determined that the probability changeover switch 71 shown in FIG. 5 is turned on, that is, whether the probability changeover switch 71 is turned on. Control goes to step S301. In step S301, an illegal flag is set to execute an illegal process so as not to play a game during the probability setting process, and the process proceeds to step S302. In step S302, a flag for executing probability setting writing is set, and the process proceeds to step S303, after setting a 5-second timer, the process proceeds to step S304.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S300 that the probability changing switch 71 is not turned on in the ON state shown in FIG. 5, the processes of steps S301 to S303 are performed. Without that, the process proceeds to step S304. In step S304, EE
For example, three types of probable probability setting values such as 1, 2, and 3 are read from the PROM, and the process proceeds to step S305. In step S305, it is determined whether or not the probability setting value read in step S304 is abnormal. If it is determined that there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S306, and the number of the random number setting table corresponding to the probability setting value is set. . That is, for example, when the probability setting value is "1", one of the average probability 1/205, low probability 1/250, and high probability 1/25 is specified, and when the probability setting value is "2", the average probability is set. Probability 1 / 225.02, Low probability 1/274.

4, the probability setting display data is displayed on the probability setting display device 75 shown in FIG. 4, and then the reset waiting state is entered. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S305 that the probability setting value is abnormal (for example, step S304
If the probability setting value read in step 7 is "7"), the process proceeds to step S308, the number of the random number setting table is automatically set to "2", and the intermediate probability 1/210 is set. To S307. Even if nothing is written to the EEPROM at the time of shipment from the factory or the probability setting operation is not performed at the game store, the number in the random number setting table is automatically set to "2", and the average probability is set.
It is designed to operate with either 1 / 225.02, low probability 1 / 274.4, or high probability 1 / 27.5. In addition, as the probability, a low probability of each random number table is normally used, and for example, when a lucky number is a big hit, a game is played with a high probability.

FIG. 19 shows a control processing procedure of a subroutine of the setting processing defined in step S5 of phase 1 of FIG. When this setting process is started, it is first determined in step S400 whether or not the probability setting write flag is present,
When it is determined that the flag is present, the process proceeds to step S401, the probability setting device operation signal is transmitted to the management device, and, for example, a supervisor in the monitoring room in the game store is notified that the probability is being set, The process moves to step S402.

In step S402, it is determined whether the probability changing switch 71 is turned on in the probability setting direction, and it is determined that the probability changing switch 71 is turned in the probability setting direction and the probability setting switch is turned on. In this case, the process proceeds to step S403, the number in the random number setting table is updated, and then the process proceeds to step S404.
As described above, the probability changeover switch 71 operates the probability setting key 73 inserted into the key groove 72 to rotate the probability setting value 73 in the clockwise direction from the off state. Number) is 1, 2, 3, 1,
... are sequentially switched step by step (see FIG. 7).

In step S404, the probability setting display data is displayed on the probability setting indicator 75 (that is, the current setting value is displayed), the flow advances to step S405 to set a 5 sec timer, and the timer time is always set during the probability setting. After setting

That is, when the probability changeover switch 71 is in the off state shown in FIG. 6 for 5 seconds or more, it is considered that the probability setting is completed, and the step S407 is performed.
Move to. In step S407, the probability setting write flag is cleared, the process proceeds to step S408, the transmission of the probability setting device operation signal to the management device is stopped, and then the process proceeds to step S409.

In step S409, the probability set value is set to EEPR.
Write to OM, the process proceeds to step S410, clear data is set in the probability setting indicator 75, the process proceeds to step S411, the injustice flag is cleared, the game is made possible, and the process returns to the main process of phase 1.

If it is determined in step S406 that the 5-second timer has not expired, it is determined that the probability setting process has not been completed yet, and step S407 is performed.
~ Return to the main processing of phase 1 without performing the processing up to step S411. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S400 that there is no probability setting write flag, the flow advances to step S412 to determine whether the probability setting switch 71 is turned in the probability setting display direction and the probability setting display switch is turned on. To be done. That is, when the probability changeover switch 71 is turned counterclockwise from the off state as shown in FIG. 5, it is determined that the probability setting display switch is on, and the process proceeds to step S413 to display the probability setting display data. After setting the probability setting indicator 75, the process returns to the main processing of phase 1.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S412 that the probability setting display switch is off, the flow advances to step S414 to set clear data in the probability setting display and then returns to the main processing of phase 1. Even after the power is turned on, the set value can be confirmed by turning on the probability setting display switch. Further, the probability can be reset only after the power is turned off and the probability setting display switch is turned on.

FIG. 20 shows the control processing procedure of the subroutine of the output processing defined in step S6 in the main processing of FIG. In this process, first, step S500.
Then, the value of the refresh register that was creating the random number for the symbol is restored to the value saved at the end of the sequence control, the process proceeds to step S501 to clear the synthesis information of the count SW level, and the process proceeds to step S502. After outputting the output data to each port, the process proceeds to step S503.

In step S503, random number division branching is performed, and the process proceeds to step S504 and step S5041.
Any one of (update random number A of random number table number 1), step S5042 (update random number B of random number table number 2), and step S5043 (update random number C of random number table number 3) is executed, Random numbers for special symbols, display symbol combinations, etc. are updated.

FIG. 21 shows the processing procedure of phase 2 in FIG. 13. In step S9, fraud detection processing is performed to determine whether fraud has been performed. As a result, when it is determined that the injustice has not been detected, the process proceeds to step S10, a time division branch is performed, the process proceeds to step S11, and steps S1101 (special symbol game processing) and S1102.
(Symbol change process), S1103 (Symbol edit process), S1
After each of the subroutines 104 (decoration edit process) and S1105 (LED edit process) is executed in the time sharing format, the process proceeds to step S12 of phase 3. On the other hand, if it is determined that the injustice is detected in step S9, the process jumps to the injustice monitoring process in step S16 of phase 4.

FIG. 22 shows the control processing procedure of the symbol edit processing of the special symbol defined in step S12 of the phase 3 of the main processing of FIG. In this process, the color of the special symbol is switched and output, and the digit selection information of the next output is taken out in step S600, the process proceeds to step S601, and the number of edits (for example, "3") is set, and then the process proceeds to step S602. Transition. In step S602, after the display address of the symbol is calculated, the process proceeds to step S603, and it is determined whether or not the color is switched. When it is determined in step S603 that the color is to be switched, the process proceeds to step S604, the display color is switched from green to red, and the process proceeds to step S605. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S603 that the color switching is not performed, the process of step S604 is not performed and step S60 is performed.

If it is determined that the editing is not completed, the process returns to step S602 to form a loop until the editing of all the symbols is completed. Iterative processing is performed.

FIG. 23 shows a control processing procedure of a subroutine of the count SW winning monitoring processing defined in step S13 of the phase 3 of the main processing of FIG. Step S
In 608, it is determined whether or not a big hit occurs in the variable display game, the big winning opening 51 of the variable winning device is opened and the hitting operation is being performed, and when it is determined that the hitting operation is being performed, the process proceeds to step S609, It is determined whether or not the count SW is input. Then, if it is determined that the count SW is input, the process proceeds to step S610, it is determined whether or not the jackpot operation after the continuation is in the effective period, and if it is determined that it is not in the effective period, step S611. After setting the winning sound of the count SW to step S612, the process proceeds to step S612. On the other hand, if it is determined that the valid period is in effect, step S611 is not executed and step S61 is performed.
Move to 2.

In step S612, the number of inputs of the count SW is incremented by "1" to be updated, and then in step S6.
In step 13, it is determined whether or not the count number is less than "10". If it is determined that the count number is "10" or more, the process proceeds to step S614 and the count number is "10".
If it is determined to be less than 10 ″, step S617
Move to. In step S614, the upper limit value of the input of the count SW is set, and the process proceeds to step 615, where it is determined whether or not the solenoid SOL-A as an actuator for opening and closing the opening / closing door 52 of the variable winning device 50 is on. If it is determined to be on, the process proceeds to step S616 to initialize the sequence timer and then to step S616.
6170. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S608 that the big hit operation is not in progress,
If it is determined in 609 that there is no input of the count SW and if it is determined in step S615 that the solenoid SOL-A for opening / closing the opening / closing door 52 is off, the process directly proceeds to step S6170.

24 to 28 relate to the processing relating to the root of the present invention, and the continuous SW winning monitoring processing defined in step S14 of the main processing of FIG. 14 and step S14.
The normal symbol process defined by 01 and the control process procedure of the prize monitoring process of the specific prize detector SW3 defined in step S15 are shown. First, in step S6170, it is determined whether or not the continuation switch SW is input. If it is determined that the continuation switch SW is input, the process proceeds to step S6180, the continuation switch SW input flag is set, and then the process proceeds to step S6190. In step S6190, it is determined whether or not the jackpot operation is the final hit. If it is determined that the jackpot operation is not the final hit, the process proceeds to step S6200, and it is determined whether or not the jackpot operation before continuing. Then, step S620
If 0 is determined not to be the jackpot operation before continuation, the process proceeds to step S6210, it is determined whether it is the effective time before continuation, and if it is determined that it is the effective time, step S6210 is performed.
Move to 6220. If it is determined in step S6200 that it is the big hit operation before continuing, the process proceeds to step S6220 without executing step S6210.

At step S6220, the continuation switch S
After outputting the winning sound of W, the process proceeds to step S6230,
Update the step number and move to the next normal symbol process.
In the normal symbol processing, first, in step S617, the passing type general winning switch (ordinary symbols SW33, 34)
(Hereinafter, abbreviated as "general drawing SW")) is determined whether or not it is turned on, that is, when it is determined that it is on, that is, when the game ball has passed through the universal figure SW, the process proceeds to step S618. Then, it is determined whether or not there is a flag during the universal figure processing. When it is determined in step S618 that there is no flag indicating that the universal figure processing is in progress, the process proceeds to step S619, and after the random number value for the normal symbol is captured, the process proceeds to step S620. In step S620, "hit" and "miss" of the normal symbol variable display game are determined. Here, the hit or miss of the normal symbol variable display game comes to be determined by whether or not the random number value generated by the random number generation unit and taken in in step S620 is included in the preset setting value. For example, the random number taken in when the game ball passes through the universal map SW is "27", and the set value is "4, 1".
In the case of "9, 21", it is determined to be "off", the process proceeds to step S626, and after the lost symbol is set, the process proceeds to step S626.
625, while the set value is "4, 19, 21, 2,
In the case of "7, 33" or the like, it is determined to be "hit", the process proceeds to step S621, and the hit symbol is set, and then the process proceeds to step S622. In step S622, the flag in the process of universal symbol processing is set, and the process proceeds to step S623. The normal symbol timer is set and then the process proceeds to step S624. The normal symbol rotating flag is set and the process proceeds to step S625. In step S625, after the stop symbol is set in the universal symbol stop symbol area, the process proceeds to step S627, and the regular symbol SW counter as the detection signal counter 810 is incremented by "1", and then the process proceeds to step S628.
When it is determined in step S618 that there is a universal figure processing flag, the process proceeds to step S625 without executing the processes of steps S619 to S624. Then, in step S628, it is determined whether or not the count of the general-purpose SW counter has reached the specified value "20", and if YES, the process proceeds to step S629 to clear the count of the general-purpose SW counter. After that, the process proceeds to step S630, the winning monitoring counter 811 is incremented by "1", and then the process proceeds to step S631. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S628 that the count of the normal figure SW counter has not reached the specified value "20", the process proceeds to step S631 without executing steps S629 and S630. In step S631, it is determined whether or not the universal figure rotation flag is present. If it is determined that the flag is present, the flow proceeds to step S632 to determine whether or not the universal figure timer is up, and if YES. Advances to step S633, sets the universal figure stopping symbol, and then advances to step S634. In step S634, it is determined whether or not it is a hit. When it is determined that it is a hit, the process proceeds to step S635, the universal figure hit flag is set, then the process proceeds to step S636, and the ordinary electric auditors product release timer 1 is initialized to the step. The process proceeds to S637, the normal electric accessory release timer 2 is initialized, and the process proceeds to step S638. In step S638, the universal figure rotation flag is cleared, and the flow advances to step S641. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S634 that it is out, the process proceeds to step S638 without performing the processes of steps S635 to S637. In addition, the step S
If it is determined at 632 that the time is not up for the universal figure timer, the process proceeds to step S639 to set data for the universal symbol, then the process proceeds to step S640, the data is updated, and the process proceeds to step S641. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S631 that there is no universal figure rotation flag, the process proceeds to step S641 without executing the processes of steps S632, S639, and S640. In step S641, it is determined whether or not there is a normal design hit flag, and if it is determined that the flag is present, step S64
After proceeding to step 3 to turn on the ordinary electric accessory, the routine proceeds to step S643. In step S643, it is determined whether or not the normal electric auditors opening flag is present. Specifically, for example, when the count of the prize monitoring counter 811 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value "22", it is determined that the flag is present in step S644.
On the contrary, when the winning counter 811 count is less than the predetermined value "22", it is determined that there is no flag, and the process proceeds to step S645. Then, the step S
In 644, it is determined whether or not the normal electric auditors product opening timer 1 has timed up. If it is determined that the time has expired, the process proceeds to step S646. Conversely, if it is determined that the time has not expired, the following special The process shifts to the monitoring process of the figure SW (specific winning detector SW3). The ball guide rotating members 84A, 84A by the ordinary electric accessory release timer 1
When the normal opening time is 2 seconds (standard time), the opening time is set to 3 seconds, which is one second longer than that, so that the winning rate to the starting opening 80 is increased. If it is determined in step S641 that there is no ordinary figure hit flag, the process directly goes to the special figure SW monitoring process. On the other hand, in step S645, it is determined whether or not the normal electric accessory release timer 2 has timed out. If it is determined that the time has expired, the process proceeds to step S646, and conversely, if it is determined that the time has not expired. Then, the process shifts to the special figure SW monitoring process. The opening time of the ball guiding / turning members 84A, 84A by the normal electric accessory release timer 2 is, for example, when the opening time in the normal time is 2 seconds (reference time),
The winning rate to the starting opening 80 is lowered to 1 second which is shorter than that by 1 second. In this way, the ball guide rotation member 84A,
By properly adjusting the opening time of 84A, the starting port 8
It is possible to control the winning of the game ball to 0 and keep the so-called base value constant. Then, the step S
At 646, the steps S644 and S64 are executed.
Based on the determination that the time is up to 5, the ordinary electric auditors role is turned off, the process proceeds to step S647, the ordinary electric auditors role release flag is cleared, and then the process proceeds to step S648 to clear the universal figure hit flag. After that, the process proceeds to a prize monitoring process of the special map SW.

In the prize-winning monitoring process of the special figure SW, it is first determined in step S649 whether or not a game ball is won in the special figure SW (specific prize detector SW3). If it is determined that there is a prize, the process proceeds to step S650. Then, the winning monitoring counter 811 is counted down by "1" and the step S651 is performed.
The process proceeds to step S7 and the memory for seven prize balls is incremented by "1" before proceeding to step S652. In step S652, for example, when the value is the specified value (X = 20), as described above, the count of the prize monitoring counter 811 is the specified value (X) +2 or more, that is, "
It is determined whether or not it is 22 "or more. If YES, the process proceeds to step S653 to set the ordinary electric auditors product opening flag and then proceeds to step S654. On the other hand, in step S652, the winning monitoring counter 811 is set. If the count is less than “22”, the above step S653
The process proceeds to step S654 without executing. In step S654, it is determined whether the special figure SW storage number is equal to or more than the upper limit value. If it is determined that the number is less than or equal to the upper limit value, the process proceeds to step S655 to update the special figure SW input counter, and then to step S656. Then, the value of the special figure jackpot random number is stored, the process proceeds to step S657, the winning sound is set, and then the process proceeds to step S658. Also, in step S649 described above.
If it is determined that the special figure SW has not been won, and if it is determined that the special figure SW storage number is equal to or more than the upper limit value in step S654, the process directly proceeds to step S658. In step S658, it is determined whether or not the step switching flag is present. If the flag is present, the process proceeds to step S659 to reset the step switching flag, and then step S6.
The process proceeds to 660, the switching information corresponding to the step number is set, and the process returns to phase 4 of the main process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S658 that there is no step switching flag, the process returns to phase 4 of the main process without executing steps S659 and S660.

FIG. 29 shows a control processing procedure of a fraud monitoring processing subroutine defined in step S16 of the phase 4 of the main processing of FIG. In this processing, first, an unauthorized control area is set in step S700, and then step S70 is performed.
Go to 1 to determine whether there is a count SW input,
If there is an input, the process proceeds to step S702 to cancel the no-count monitoring request, and the process proceeds to step S703. If there is no input in step S701, the process proceeds to step S703 without executing step S702.

In step S703, the fraud monitoring timer area is set, and the flow proceeds to step S704. After the fraud monitoring timer initial value is set, the flow proceeds to step S705 to determine whether there is a fraud monitoring request. If it is determined that there is a fraud monitoring request, step S706.
After proceeding to step S7 and extracting the timer value in the fraud monitoring timer area, the process proceeds to step S707 to update the timer value and then proceeds to step S708.

In step S708, it is determined whether or not the specified time has elapsed. If it is determined that the specified time has elapsed, the flow advances to step S709 to set an incorrect continuation flag, and the flow advances to step S710 to set the timer value. Is held at the upper limit, the process proceeds to step S711, the timer value is stored in the fraud monitoring timer area, and then the process proceeds to step S712. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S705 that there is no fraudulent monitoring request, or if it is determined in step S708 that the specified time has not elapsed, the direct step S7 is performed.
Move to 12.

In step S712, the fraud flag is stored, and the flow advances to step S713 to determine whether or not it is fraud. The process moves to phase 5. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S713 that there is no injustice, the process proceeds to phase 5 without performing step S714.

30 and 31 show a control processing procedure of a subroutine of sound control area selection, sound editing and output processing defined in steps S17 and S18 of phase 5 of the main processing of FIG. First, step S8
At 00, the event counter is updated, and step S80 is performed.
After proceeding to step 1 and setting the control area for the incorrect sound, the process proceeds to step S802, and it is determined whether or not the illegal operation is being performed.

After calculating the symbol change data, the process proceeds to step S3209, the stop information of the right symbol is set, and the process proceeds to step S3210 to control the right symbol stop. After setting the number, the process returns to the main process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3202 that it is not a lucky number, the flow advances to step S3211 to determine whether or not it is a winning symbol or a symbol immediately before it. If "Yes", the flow proceeds to step S3212. Then, it is determined whether or not the probability is 3/4, and if “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S3213 to determine whether or not the high probability flag is present, and if it is determined that the flag is present, step S321.
After shifting to step 4 and instructing the data table of the special reach at the time of high probability, the process proceeds to step S3207.

If it is determined in step S3213 that there is no high probability flag, the flow advances to step S3215 to instruct a data table for special reach, and then to step S3207. Furthermore, if "No" is determined in the above steps S3211 and S3212, it is determined whether or not there is a high probability flag in step S3216. If it is determined that there is a flag, the procedure proceeds to step S3217. After instructing the normal reach data table at the time of high probability, the process proceeds to step S3207. If it is determined in step S3216 that there is no high probability flag, the flow advances to step S3218 to instruct the normal reach data table, and then the flow advances to step S3207. Reach modes include 1) special reach for lucky numbers, 2) normal reach for lucky numbers, 3) special reach for high probability, 4)

FIG. 39 shows the processing procedure of the reach flag determination in step S015 (processing number = 5) and the voice processing at the time of reach. First, in step S3400, it is determined whether or not the reach flag is on. If it is determined that the reach flag is not on, the process proceeds to step S3401, the reach flag is set, and the process proceeds to step S3402 to determine whether it is a lucky number. . When it is determined that the lucky number is “7” at the time of reaching “7”, “7”, and “□”, the process proceeds to step S3403, it is determined whether the reach is a special reach, and “Yes” is determined. If there is, the process advances to step S3404 to output the special reach sound of the lucky number, and then returns to the main process to "N".
If it is determined to be "o", the flow advances to step S3405 to output a reach sound of a lucky number and then returns to the main processing.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3402 that it is not a lucky number, step S340.
In step 6, it is determined whether or not the high probability flag is present. If it is determined that the flag is present, the process proceeds to step S3407 to determine whether it is a special reach, and if “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S3408. After outputting the special reach sound at the time of high probability, it returns to the main processing,
If it is determined to be “No”, the process proceeds to step S3409, the normal reach sound at the time of high probability is output, and then the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S3406 that there is no high probability flag, In Step S3410, it is determined whether it is a special reach or not, and “Yes”
If it is, the process proceeds to step S3411 to output the special reach sound and returns to the main process, and if it is determined "No", the process proceeds to step S3412 to output the normal reach sound and then returns to the main process. There are six types of reach sounds that correspond to the above-mentioned six types of reach modes, and by playing different melodies depending on the respective reach modes, the player's expectation at the time of reach can be increased and the interest can be increased. It can be raised to keep players from getting bored. Further, by changing the reach sound in accordance with each reach mode, it is possible to let the player know the game state at that time and grasp the game state. Further, although the sound is produced in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and a synthetic voice corresponding to the type of reach, for example, "Tadaima, special reach, cutout, etc." may be output. On the other hand, when it is determined that the reach flag is on in step S3400, it is determined in step S3413 whether or not the right symbol is stopped, and when it is determined that it is stopped, the process proceeds to step S014 in FIG. When it is determined not to stop, the process returns to the main process.

FIG. 40 shows a processing procedure for changing the visual expression of the reach for each of the symbols at the time of reach in step S013 (process number = 3). First, step S3

Instruct, Step S3431
Then, the data table of the reach of the reach symbol number 9 is designated, and the steps S 3423 to S 343 are performed.
After executing any one of the steps 1, the process moves to step S3432.
In addition, in the reach data tables of the reach symbol numbers 1 to 9, for example, 9 types of winning symbols “1, 1,
1 ”,“ 2, 2, 2 ”,“ 3, 3, 3 ”,“ 4, 4, ”
4 ”,“ 5, 5, 5 ”,“ 6, 6, 6 ”,“ 7, 7, ”
Data in which the expression format at the time of each reach of “7”, “8, 8, 8”, and “9, 9, 9” is changed is written. Then, based on the data in each data table, the lamp and LE
By flashing a visual notification device such as D, the player's sense of expectation and interest is enhanced, and the current game situation is sensed. In step S3432, the number of feed frames is calculated, and step S
Proceeding to 3433, after calculating the symbol change data, the process proceeds to step S3434, sets stop information of the right symbol, proceeds to step S3435, sets the control number of the right symbol stop, and then returns to the main process. On the other hand, in the step S3432, when it is determined that the reach is not reached, the process proceeds to step S3436 to set the stop information at the normal time of the right symbol of the special symbol, the process proceeds to step S3437, and the right symbol stop other than the reach time is stopped. After setting the control number of, the process returns to the main process.

FIG. 41 shows a processing procedure in the case where the auditory expression of the reach is changed for each symbol at the time of the reach in step S015 (process number = 5). First, step S3
In 440, it is determined whether or not the reach flag is on. If it is determined that the reach flag is not on, the flow proceeds to step S3441 to set the reach flag, and then the step S344.
Then, the process proceeds to step 2 and a split branch is performed, and the next step S344.
Any one of 3 to step S3451 is executed alternatively. Here, the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 1 is performed in step S3443, the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 2 is performed in step S3444, the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 3 is performed in step S3445, and step S3446. In, reach sound output of reach symbol number 4 is performed, and reach sound output of reach symbol number 5 is performed in step S3447. Further, the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 6 is performed in step S3448, the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 7 is performed in step S3449, and step S34
The reach sound output of the reach symbol number 8 is performed at 50, and the reach sound output of the reach symbol number 9 is performed at step S3451. Then, based on the reach symbol numbers 1 to 9, from the speaker 92 as the auditory notification means, the nine types of hit symbols “1, 1,
1 ”,“ 2, 2, 2 ”,“ 3, 3, 3 ”,“ 4, 4, ”
4 ”,“ 5, 5, 5 ”,“ 6, 6, 6 ”,“ 7, 7, ”
"7", "8,8,8", and "9,9,9" have different melody corresponding to each reach, playing to increase the player's expectation and interest, and to detect the current game situation. Is made to do. 42 and 44 respectively show FIG.
The control processing procedure of the subroutine of the determination processing of the stop symbol of the special symbol defined in step S3000 is shown. When this process is started, the presence / absence of a high probability flag is first determined in step S3500. If it is determined that the flag is present, the process proceeds to step S3501 to set the random number determination number to 10 and set probability to 10 After doubling, step S3
Move to 502. If it is determined in step S3500 that there is no high probability flag, step S35
After proceeding to 03 and setting the number of determinations to 1, the step S
Move to 3502. Here, a method of changing the setting probability ten times will be described in more detail. First, for example, the hit determination random numbers generated by the random number generation means are 0 to
If there are 210 kinds of numerical values up to 209, and the hit determination value at the time of low probability is only “77”, the value of this low probability becomes 1/210. When changing from a low probability to a high probability, the random number for hit determination is changed from 0 to 209 without changing.
Using the numerical values of 210 types up to, the hit judgment value is changed from "77" only to "73", "74", "75", "7".
6 "," 77 "," 78 "," 79 "," 80 "," 8 "
By expanding to 10 types of "1" and "82", it is possible to change the winning probability from 1/210 to 10/210 (that is, 1/21) ten times. The random number for hit determination is constantly updated between 0 and 209. Then, in the step S3502, the step S35
Based on the results of 01 and S3503, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit. When it is determined that it is a big hit, the process proceeds to step S3504, and a big hit symbol is selected using the display symbol generation random number, and then step S3505. Move to. In step S3505, it is determined whether or not it is a lucky number. For example, the lucky number is "77.
In the case of "7", when "777" is output, the process proceeds to step S3506 to set the lucky number flag to a high probability, and then the process proceeds to step S3507 to set the stop symbol area to the main processing. Return. Also,
If it is determined in step S3505 that it is not a lucky number, the process moves to step S3507. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3502 that the jackpot is not a big hit, the process proceeds to step S3508 to determine whether or not the hit determination is completed. That is, when the probability is low, the determination is ended once, and when the probability is high, the determination is repeated 10 times, then the process proceeds to step S3509, the lost symbol is set, and the process proceeds to step S3507. Even if a lucky number is output in steps S3505 and S3506, the probability is low during the big hit operation, and the probability is high after the big hit operation. That is, as shown in the time chart of FIG.
_Even if the lucky number comes out at ₁ , the game is played with a low probability between T _{1 and} T ₂ during the big hit operation, and T ₂
When the next big hit comes out after the big hit action is finished (T ₃ ).
Play with a high probability between T _{2 and} T ₃ until, and when the next hit comes (T ₃ ), play with a low probability again and adjust so that the player does not become excessively advantageous. is doing.

Next, another probability variation method will be described with reference to FIG. In the processing of FIG. 44, first, step S360.
The presence or absence of the high-probability flag is determined to be 0, and if it is determined that the flag is present, the process proceeds to step S3601. For example, if the probability variation rate is 10 times, the jackpot determination value is divided by 10 and 1 / After performing the processing of setting the value to 10 and rounding down the decimal places to obtain the integerized determination value, step S3602 is performed.
Move to. In step S3602, similarly to the case of the judgment value described above, a process of dividing by 10 and rounding down the decimal point to make an integer is executed, and then the process proceeds to step S3603. Here, the process of converting the big hit judgment value and the random number value into 1/10 to be an integer will be described more specifically. For example, if the hit judgment value after being made an integer is “7”, it is 10 Of the jackpot judgment values before dividing by, "70", "71", "72", "73", "7"
4 ”,“ 75 ”,“ 76 ”,“ 77 ”,“ 78 ”,“ 7 ”
When any of the 10 types of "9" is divided by "10" and the fractional part is rounded down, it is determined as "7", and as a result, for example, only "77" is set as the hit determination value. That is, the judgment value is set to be 10 times larger than the judgment value.

Further, for example, when the random number for the hit determination generated by the random number generating means is composed of 210 kinds of numerical values from 0 to 209, the random number fetched value is divided by "10" and the number is below the decimal point. If is rounded down, the probability of winning is 1 from 1/210 to 1/21.
It is possible to change it by 0 times. Further, in the case of the process of FIG. 42, the range of the hit determination value at the time of high probability is appropriately changed, and in the process of FIG. Can be changed to. In the embodiment of FIG. 44, the case where the hit determination value and the hit random number value are divided by the probability variation rate and then the fractional part is rounded down is described, but not limited to this, the same effect can be obtained by rounding up the decimal part. Obtainable.

Then, in step S3603, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit, and when it is determined that it is a big hit, the process proceeds to step S3604 to select a big hit symbol using the display symbol generation random number and step S3605. , It is judged whether it is a lucky number,
If “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S3606, the lucky number flag is set, and then step S3.
Proceeding to 608, the stop symbol region is set and the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S3605 that the number is not a lucky number, step S3606 is executed without executing step S3606. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3603 that the jackpot is not a big hit, the process proceeds to step S3607 to set a lost symbol, and then the process proceeds to step S3608. Note that, in the present invention, as in the processing shown in FIGS. 24 to 28, the case where the opening time of the ordinary electric auditors is adjusted has been described as a method for keeping the so-called base value constant, but instead of this, or In parallel, it is also possible to appropriately change the winning probability by the above-mentioned method or the like based on the counting result of the prize monitoring counter 811.

FIG. 45 shows the processing procedure of the losing operation processing (processing number = 6) in step S016 and the fanfare operation monitoring processing (processing number = 7) in step S017 of FIG. In step S3700, after executing a subroutine for creating special symbol determination information, step S370
If it is "Yes", the process proceeds to step S3702 to clear the number of big hit operations in the previous figure, and the process proceeds to step S3703 to set the fanfare control number. , Step S370
After shifting to 4 and clearing the high probability flag, the process returns to the main process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3701 that the jackpot is not the big hit, the process proceeds to step S3705 to set a control signal for the losing operation, and then the process returns to the main process.

FIG. 46 shows the processing procedure of the big hit operation process before the continuation of step S019 (process number = 9) and the big hit operation process after the continuation of step S01A (process number = 10). In step S3800, the number of big hit operations is updated, the process proceeds to step S3801, the count number is updated, and the process proceeds to step S3802. In step S3802, it is determined whether or not it is the final round. If it is determined that the final round is the final round, the flow shifts to step S3803, the control number for the final big hit operation is set, and then the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S3802 that it is not the final round, the control number of the big hit operation other than the final round is set, and then the process returns to the main process.

47 and 48, the above step S019 is performed.
(Processing number = 9) and a part of the processing of S01A (processing number = 10) are shown.

The control processing procedure of the subroutine of the decoration edit processing defined by 104 is shown. In this process, first, step S500.
At 0, a lamp and jackpot information is taken out and a subroutine for collectively performing the lamp display processing of each routine is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step S5001 to determine whether or not the jackpot operation is in progress, and it is determined that the jackpot operation is in progress. If you do,
In step S5002, the display data of the count number is taken out and the display process of the count number is performed, and then the process proceeds to step S5004. If it is determined in step S5001 that the big hit operation is not in progress, step S5001 is performed.
After proceeding to 5003 and setting the off data of the count number, the process proceeds to step S5004.

In step S5004, it is determined whether or not the lucky number flag is present. If it is determined that the flag is present, the flow advances to step S5005 to set high-probability display data and cause the decorative lamp to blink in accordance with a predetermined expression format. After clearly notifying the player that the jackpot operation with the lucky number is in progress and that the probability is high, the process moves to step S5006, the lamp data is set in the output range, and the process proceeds to step S5007 to display the count. After setting the information of, the process proceeds to step S5008.
If it is determined in step S5004 that there is no lucky number flag, the process proceeds to step S5006 without executing step S5005.

Then, in step S5008, OFF information of the solenoid SOL-A as an actuator for opening and closing the opening / closing door 52 of the variable winning a prize device 50 is set, and the process proceeds to step S5009 to determine whether or not the symbol is rotating, and rotating. If it is determined to be, the process proceeds to step S5010, the LED is turned on, the process proceeds to step S5011, and it is determined whether or not it is the solenoid SOL-A on timing, and if “Yes”, to step S5012. Then, the solenoid SOL-A is turned on to turn on step S501.
3, the output information of the solenoid SOL-A and the LED is set, and then the process returns to the main process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5009 that the symbol is not rotating, step S5010 is not executed but step S5010 is executed.
If it is determined in step S5011 that the solenoid SOL-A is not on-timing in step S5011, the process proceeds to step S5013 without executing step S5012.

FIG. 54 shows the control processing procedure of the LED editing processing defined in step S1105 of FIG. Here, the LED editing process determines the hit determination random value fetched from the memory and a preset hit determination value, and the deviation between the hit determination random value and the hit determination value is ± 10%.
Within (for example, when the random number for hit determination is “8170” and the hit determination value is within the range of “7353 to 8987”), the corresponding LEDs 45a to 45d of the winning prize memory display
(For example, if the second prize in memory is applicable,
Of the four LEDs arranged side by side in a row, the second 45b LED from the left end) is displayed in a blinking manner, which is so-called in-memory reach processing. First, in step S6000, storage display data corresponding to the memory is set. (That is, the winning memory display is turned on according to the current number of memories), the process proceeds to step S6001, the random number storage area is set (that is, the start address of the random number storage area is set), and the process proceeds to step S6002. , The current memory count for determining the random number value of the memory count stored in the random number memory area is set, and step S
Proceed to 6003. In step S6003, step S
It is determined whether the deviation between the random number value of the storage area set in 6001 and the big hit value (predetermined hit judgment value) is within ± 10%. If “Yes”, step S6004 When it is determined that it is the timing to turn off the LED, the process proceeds to step S6005, and the predetermined storage LED
The turn-off data is set to (that is, the predetermined storage LED is turned off), and the process proceeds to step S6006.

In step S6006, the random number storage area is updated (that is, the address of the random number storage area is updated), and the flow advances to step S6007 to determine the random number value for the number of storages stored in the random number storage area. The processes of steps S6003 to S6007 are repeated until the end. On the other hand, if the determination is completed in step S6007, the process returns to the main process. In addition, the steps S6003 and S6
If the determination is “No” in 004, step S600
Go to 6. By this LED editing process, for example, when the random number value captured at the time of the second prize in the prize memory has a deviation of ± 10% or less from the jackpot value, the four LEDs (45a to 45d) of the prize memory indicator. ), The second LED (45b) from the left end can be displayed in a blinking manner to notify the player of the possibility of a big hit, thereby increasing the fun. By the blinking of the LED, it is generally known whether or not a big hit occurs before the variable display game is actually executed, which may impair the interest and expectation of the player. If the range is not limited to ± 10%, but is expanded to ± 15%, for example, it will be more surprising to notify the in-memory reach by blinking the LED, and the player can have a new expectation and interest. it can.

FIG. 54 shows a control processing procedure of the symbol edit processing defined in step S1103 of FIG. The symbol editing process is to notify the player of the current probability of the probability by changing the background color of the symbol depending on whether the probability is high or low. First, in step S7000, the presence or absence of the high probability flag is determined, and if it is determined that the flag is present, the process advances to step S7001 to take out the decorative pointer 2 of the special symbol and set the color of the color liquid crystal panel or the like forming the background of the symbol to green. To orange, after executing a subroutine that clearly informs the player that it is in high probability,
The process moves to step S7002. In step S7002, the decorative address of the right symbol is set to the left of the special symbol and the process proceeds to step S7003. After setting the decorative address of the middle symbol, the process proceeds to step S7004 and the decorative address of the left symbol is set to the right of the special symbol. Then, the process returns to the main process. The processing of steps S7002 to S7004 is performed in order to convert the stop order of symbols which was left → middle → right at the time of low probability, to right → middle → left at the time of high probability. In this way, by changing the stop order of the symbols at the time of low probability and at the time of high probability, the notification of the probability fluctuation to the player becomes more reliable, and at the same time, the notification means of the probability fluctuation is diversified and the interest of the player is increased. It becomes possible to raise.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S7000 that there is no high probability flag, that is, when the probability is low, the process proceeds to step S7005, and the decorative pointer 1 of the special symbol is taken out and the background color of the symbol is made green. After executing the subroutine, the process moves to step S7006. Then, by setting the background color of this symbol to green, the player is informed that the game is in progress with a low probability. In step S7006, the decoration address of the right symbol is set and the process proceeds to step S7007. After setting the decoration address of the middle symbol, the process proceeds to step S7008 to set the decoration address of the left symbol, and the pattern is changed from left to middle → right. After stopping in order, the process returns to the main process.

In step S7104, it is determined whether or not it is a stop. If it is determined that it is not a stop, the process proceeds to step S7105 to perform upper and lower limit correction, and the process proceeds to step S7106 to determine whether it is a limit. If it is determined that the limit is reached, the flow advances to step S7107 to initialize the pointer, moves to step S7109, moves the table position, and then moves to step S7110.
Proceed to step S71 to set control information for the next symbol
The process proceeds to step S1112 to determine whether or not the process has ended, the process proceeds to step S7112 if it is determined to be the end, and the process returns to step S7101 to determine if the process is not completed to step S7101 to S7111. The process is repeated a predetermined number of times. If it is determined that the limit is not reached in steps S7102 and S7106, or if "Yes" is determined in steps S7104 and S7108, the process proceeds to step S7110.

Then, in step S7112, the presence or absence of the high probability flag is determined, and when it is determined that the flag is present, the process proceeds to step S7113, the display address of the right symbol is set to the left of the special symbol, and the process proceeds to step S7114.
After setting the display address of the middle pattern, step S71
After shifting to 15, the display address of the left symbol is set to the right of the special symbol, and then the process returns to the main process. This step S71
The processing of 13 to S7115 is performed in order to convert the stop order of the symbols to right → middle → left at the time of high probability, and the player is informed that the high probability is in the stop order. There is.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S7112 that there is no high probability flag, that is, when it is determined that the probability is low, the process proceeds to step S7116, the display address of the right symbol is set, and the process proceeds to step S7117. After setting the display address of the medium pattern, step S7118
Then, the display address of the left symbol is set and the process returns to the main process. Incidentally, the steps S7116-S711
By the processing of 8, the stop order of symbols at low probability is left →
From middle to right, the player is informed that the probability is low.
