In the control program, each sound control command for generating an error sound, a normal fluctuation sound, a shaking motion change sound, a pattern stop sound, a reach sound, etc. from the speaker 11,
The output timing is set as shown in FIG. 5, for example.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the muffling is programmed so as not to output a sound effect, a dialogue, etc. in a silent state during standby. The error sound is for 10 counts of the big winning means 26, when the disconnection or short circuit of the detection switch for the specific area 38 or the like is detected, the normal fluctuation sound is the fluctuation start time of the first symbol display means 31 and the fluctuation pattern 1. When outputting to the swing motion of the left first symbol of the first symbol display means 31 and the right first symbol of the first symbol display means 31, the swing motion change sound is output by superimposing the symbol stop sound on the normal fluctuation sound, and the symbol stop. The sound is programmed to output when all the first symbols stop at the same time.

When the first reach sound starts the first effect such as the background changing while the first symbol display means 31 is changing in the changing pattern 2, the second reach sound is changing in the changing pattern 3. The third reach sound is output when the second effect by the character or the like is started, and the third reach sound is output in accordance with the third effect by the character or the like from the first effect while changing in the change pattern 4, and the fourth reach sound is generated. Output in accordance with a fourth effect such as expansion of the medium first symbol from the first effect during the change in the change pattern 5, and the fifth reach sound is output from the first effect during the change in the change pattern 6 5th by etc.
It is programmed to output according to the performance.

The sixth reach sound is the seventh reach sound when the sixth effect by the character or the like is started during the change in the change pattern 7.
The reach sound is when the 7th effect by the character or the like is started during the change in the change pattern 7, and the 8th reach sound is the 9th reach when all the first symbols are changed at high speed during the change in the change pattern 7. Sounds are output respectively when all the first symbols are paused before re-changing during fluctuation in the fluctuation pattern 8, the first
The 0-reach sound is programmed so that all the first symbols are output from the pause before the re-variation at the start of the re-variation during the variation in the variation pattern 9.

The first interval sound is output during the first interval before the big winning means 26 is opened, and the big hit middle sound is the first
It is programmed to output from the start of opening the big winning means 26 of the 16th time to the end of opening of the big winning means 26 of the 16th time. The first dialogue is the voice of "Chance" when the reach announcement character etc. during the pattern change appears, the second dialogue is the voice of "Reach" at the start of the variation in the reach patterns of variation patterns 2 to 9, and the third dialogue. Is programmed to output a "big hit" voice during the confirmation time of jackpot confirmation, and the fourth dialogue outputs a "good buy" voice during the interval at the end of the jackpot.

In the above-mentioned ball game machine, when the firing handle 10 of the launching means 9 is operated during the game, the game balls of the upper plate 7 are supplied to the launching section one by one in synchronization with the launching operation of the launching means 9. The game ball is hit with a hammer and shot along the guide rail 22 to the game board 4 side.

After the game ball shot to the upper side of the game board 4 enters the game area 23 of the game board 4, it is won along with the normal winning means 29 or the like while falling along the board surface, or the starting gate 28.
It falls down while passing through. When the game ball passes through the starting gate 28, the second symbol control unit 44 operates and the second symbol of the second symbol display means 34 starts changing, and whether or not the random number at that point is randomly selected If it is a winning random number, the second symbol is stopped at "7", and if it is a random number, it is stopped at a value other than "7".

When the second symbol of the second symbol display means 34 is stopped at "7", the second opening / closing control section 45 causes the first type starting means 25.
Opens for a predetermined time. Then, when the game ball wins the first type starting means 25, the first symbol control unit 42 operates and the three first symbols of the first symbol display means 31 start varying in a predetermined variation mode, while Random numbers at the time of winning are drawn to determine whether they are jackpot random numbers. If the determination result at this time is a big hit, after the first symbol of the first symbol display means 31 displays a big hit, the opening / closing plate of the big winning means 26 by the first opening / closing control section 43.
Since 37 is opened to the front side, a large number of game balls can be easily won in the big winning means 26, and the game balls falling from above win the big winning means 26.

When 10 game balls are won in the big winning means 26 or when a predetermined time elapses, the opening / closing plate of the big winning means 26
37 closes once. However, when the game ball that won the prize while the big winning means 26 is opened passes through the specific area 38, the profit state continuation unit
46 works and the profit state continues. That is, when the profit state continuation unit 46 operates, the opening / closing plate 37 of the big winning means 26 is closed and then opened again, and the game ball is easily put into the big winning means 26. Then, on the condition that the game ball passes through the specific area 38, for example, the maximum winning means 26 repeats the opening / closing operation up to 16 times, whereby a large number of game balls are won in the large winning means 26, and the player is awarded to the player. And return a great deal of profit.

In this ball game machine, when the game ball wins the first type starting means 25, the first symbol of the first symbol display means 31 starts to change, while the command function designation signal generation of the game control means 41 is generated. Part 47 outputs the command function specification signal 02H that specifies "normal fluctuation sound" multiple times in succession, and the command function specification signal 02H is output.
H is transmitted to the voice control means 13 side.

Then, the voice control unit 50 on the side of the voice control means 13 reads the voice control command function of the "normal fluctuation sound" of the first storage unit 48, stores it in the second storage unit 49, and stores it in the second storage unit 49. It is controlled by a predetermined program according to the voice control command function stored in the storage unit 49. As a result, the "normal fluctuation sound" is generated from the speaker 11 at the same time when the first symbol of the first symbol display means 31 starts to change, and the sound is produced auditorily.

During the changing operation of the first symbol display means 31, when the left first symbol and the right first symbol perform a swaying operation, the command function designating signal generator 47 of the game control means 41 produces a "swinging operation changing sound". The command function designating signal 03H designating "" is continuously output a plurality of times, and the command function designating signal 03H is transmitted to the voice control means 13 side. Therefore, similarly to the above, the voice control unit 50 on the side of the voice control unit 13 reads out the voice control command function of the "swing motion change sound" of the first storage unit 48, and controls by a predetermined program according to the voice control command function. To do. Therefore, when the first symbol of the first symbol display means 31 is changed to the swaying action, a "swinging action change sound" is generated from the speaker 11, and the left first symbol and the right first symbol are audibly audibly swaying. Direct.

Since the command function designating signal generator 47 outputs a command function designating signal designating each voice control function and transmits it to the voice control means 13 side in accordance with the change of the game state on the game board 4 side. The voice control means 13 reads out a voice control program designated by the command function designation signal and outputs a predetermined voice from the speaker 11 according to a predetermined program to produce a game state.

In this embodiment, the voice control means 13 is separated from the game control means 41 on the game control board 39 side, and the voice control means 13 is provided on the voice control board 12 on the first symbol display means 31 side, The voice control means 13 has a voice control command function for issuing a voice control command for generating a predetermined voice, and the voice control means 13 encodes a simplified command function designation signal from the game control means 41 side. Then, the voice control means 13 selects the voice control command function designated by the command function designation signal, and drives the speaker 11 according to the voice control command function. As a result, it is possible to easily generate a predetermined sound effect or the like from the speaker 11 while reducing the data amount of the command function designating signal transmitted from the game control means 41 to the voice control means 13 side.

Moreover, the game control means 41 to the voice control means 13
Since the amount of data of the command function designating signal transmitted to the device can be reduced, the occurrence of troubles such as data transmission errors can be minimized, and the reliability is remarkably improved as compared with the conventional one. Further, when outputting and transmitting the command function designating signal from the game control means 41, since the command function designating signal is outputted a plurality of times, it is possible to prevent malfunction due to transmission error.

Further, even if the command function designating signal is transmitted a plurality of times, the command function designating signal itself is a simplified signal by encoding, so that the transmission time does not become extremely long, and the subsequent It does not interfere with the transmission of the command function designation signal.

Further, a command function designation signal simplified by encoding is transmitted from the game control means 41 to the voice control means 13, and the voice control means 13 selects the voice control command function designated by the command function designation signal. However, since the voice control command is issued according to the voice control command function to drive the speaker 11, when changing the voice such as the sound effect generated from the speaker 11, each voice control command on the voice control means 13 side is changed. It suffices to change the program of the function, and the game control means 41
No need to change the side. When changing the combination of game parts on the game board 4 side, the program on the game control means 41 side may be changed, and the voice control means 13 side need not be changed. Therefore, the manufacturer can easily and inexpensively manufacture different combinations of game parts on the game board 4 side, or those with different sounds such as sound effects. Also in the case of the inspection, it suffices to inspect only one of them and it is possible to easily cope with it.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
For example, the command function designation signal may be a simplified signal, and it is appropriate that the simplification method be coded or coded in a predetermined radix system, but the invention is not limited thereto. Further, the command function designation signal only needs to include data designating a predetermined voice control command function, and it is free to include a hit signal or a disconnection signal or other signals or data in addition to the hit signal.

The game control board 39 and the voice control board 12 may be incorporated in the same board case 40. In that case, the game control means 41 and the voice control means 13 may be mounted on the same common substrate. The voice control board 12 may be mounted on the game board 4 side together with the game control board 39, or may be mounted on the back mechanism board 14 or the like.

The command function designation signal may only specify the voice control command function corresponding to each game state, but one command function designation signal may specify two or more kinds of voice control command functions. good.

In the embodiment, for convenience of explanation, of the second symbols stopped after the change of the second symbol display means 34, the particular stop symbol is hit and the first symbol display means 31 stops after the change. Of the 1 symbols, the particular stop symbol is a jackpot symbol, but this jackpot is not an absolute concept. Therefore, the specific stop symbol after the change of the first symbol display means 31 may be referred to as a hit symbol.

The first symbol of the first symbol display means 31 may be one or more. The symbols displayed by the first symbol display means 31 and the second symbol display means 34 may be other than the numerical symbols, or may be a combination of the numerical symbols and other symbols.

When the game ball passes through the specific area 38, the first
A sound may be generated when the seed starting means 25 is won. The present invention can be similarly implemented in a pachinko machine, an arrangement ball machine, a sparrow ball machine, etc. as long as it is a ball game machine provided with a plurality of speakers 11, and a game machine other than the ball game machine, for example, It goes without saying that the invention can be carried out in the same manner with a rotating body type game machine or the like. In the case of a ball game machine,
The same applies to any of the first, second, and third types.
