2. Description of the Related Art Currently, as a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, a random number lottery is performed for winning a specific prize, and when the random number value obtained by the random number lottery matches a preset winning value. 2. Description of the Related Art A gaming machine configured to perform a special game having a high gaming value is known. In such a gaming machine, a liquid crystal display (image display) is arranged in the center of the game board, a lamp display (lighting display) is arranged in the periphery, and a speaker (voice output device) is also provided. There is a random number lottery for the winning of a specific prize, and a predetermined effect pattern is displayed on the liquid crystal display, and the lamp indicator corresponding to this effect pattern is turned on. Alternatively, blinking display and voice output by a speaker are performed.

In order to perform such game control, a predetermined game state (for example, a portion generally referred to as a back mechanism) in the game machine is met when a predetermined winning condition is achieved (for example,
The main control board for performing a lottery on whether or not to achieve the special game state and setting a production pattern for notifying the result of the lottery, and a liquid crystal when receiving a control signal regarding the production pattern from the main control board. A display control board that causes the display device to perform image display control based on the effect pattern, and a lighting control board that causes the lamp display device to perform lighting or blinking control based on the effect pattern when the control signal related to the effect pattern is received. An audio control board is provided which causes a speaker to perform audio output control based on the effect pattern when receiving a control signal related to the effect pattern (here, these display control boards,
The lighting control board and the voice control board are also called sub-control boards). The main control board is sealed on the back surface of the gaming machine and is arranged so that unauthorized access cannot be made to the main control board. The sub control board (that is, the display control board, The lighting control board and the voice control board) are connected to the main control board via wirings and are arranged outside the main control board.

With the game control device having such a configuration, as an effect pattern for notifying a lottery result when a predetermined winning condition is achieved, for example, three rotating drums of a slot machine are rotated, There is a production pattern in which the symbols such as numbers, letters, and pictures provided on each rotating drum fluctuate according to the rotation of the drum, and in particular, the three patterns are matched and become a big hit, and a special game is started. Patterns, effect patterns in which three symbols are different and become dislocated and the fluctuation of the symbols stops, or effect patterns that entertain the player until the special game is started or before the fluctuation of the symbols is stopped in this way ( For example, “reach” is displayed until two of the three symbols are displayed in a stopped state, and the remaining symbols are displayed in a stopped state.
There is a production pattern called). Such an effect pattern is preset and stored in the memory (ROM or the like) of the main control board, and a predetermined effect pattern is selected corresponding to the lottery result on the main control board, and the effect pattern thus selected is selected. The control data to be performed is sent to the display control board, the lighting control board, and the sound control board, and these effect patterns are displayed as images on the liquid crystal display, and the display control by the lamp display and the sound output control by the speaker are performed. It is designed to be synchronized with the image display.

[0005]

Here, it is often required to set various types of the above-mentioned effect patterns in order to enhance the playability of the game machine. However, since the data regarding the effect patterns is set and stored in the memory of the main control board in advance, the memory load of the main control board increases, and it is difficult to preset and store too many effect patterns. There is. It should be noted that the conventional game machine is limited in its structure due to countermeasures against fraud, and there is a demand that the control data of a predetermined effect pattern must be stored in the memory of the main control board. In addition, since the control signal is unilaterally output from the sealed main control board to the sub control boards (display control board, lighting control board, and sound control board), necessary data is stored in the memory of the main control board. There is a problem in that the memory load on the main control board becomes large because the sub-boards must be synchronized and sent to the sub-boards to perform a predetermined effect pattern.

The effect pattern that must be stored and stored in the memory of the main control board is a pattern directly related to the generation of the special game state, for example, an effect pattern for displaying such that three rotary drums rotate. (This is also referred to as a main effect pattern), and for a sub effect pattern (for example, an effect pattern that causes a predetermined character to appear while the rotating drum rotates) that is additionally displayed at this time, the sub control board It may be stored and stored in the memory of. However, all the sub control boards are only connected to the main control board in a one-way state,
Since the sub control boards are not connected to each other, even if the sub effect patterns are stored and stored in each sub control board, these sub effect patterns cannot be performed in synchronization with each other. Therefore, for example, even when the sub effect pattern data stored in the memory of the display control board is used to display this sub effect pattern on the liquid crystal display, the display control of the lamp display device by the lighting control board is synchronized with this. There is a problem in that it cannot be performed or voice output from the speaker by the voice control board cannot be performed.

In order to solve such a problem, as in the device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-197744, only the display control board is connected to the main control board, and the lighting control board is connected to the display control board. A configuration in which a voice control board is connected is proposed. In this case, the main control board may store necessary effect control data in the display control board, and the display control board may store necessary effect control data in the lighting control board and the sound control board. The memory load on the control board can be reduced. However, in this case, the hardware connection configuration itself of the device needs to be different from that of the conventional device, and there is a problem that such a configuration cannot be adopted under the above-described configuration limitation. is there.

In view of such a problem, the present invention can store the control data of the sub effect pattern in the memory of the sub control means (board) and then perform the sub effect pattern in synchronization with each sub control means. It is an object of the present invention to provide a control device for a gaming machine which can reduce the memory load of the main control means (board).

[0009]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention has an image display device, a lighting display device, an audio output device, etc., and displays an image when a predetermined condition is achieved. The gaming machine is configured to perform lighting of the lighting indicator and sound output by the sound output device in relation to the contents displayed on the container. Then, in this gaming machine, by the main control means (board) for setting the main effect pattern when a predetermined condition is achieved, and the image display when receiving a control signal relating to the main effect pattern from the main control means. Display control means (board) for performing image display control based on the main effect pattern, and a lighting indicator for performing lighting control based on the main effect pattern when a control signal related to the main effect pattern is received from the main control means. The lighting control means (board) and the audio control means (board) that causes the audio output device to perform audio output control based on the main effect pattern when a control signal related to the main effect pattern is received from the main control means. The display control means, the lighting control means, and the voice control means are respectively provided with control patterns corresponding to the set values updated and stored in the respective set value storage means based on the control signals relating to the main effect patterns sent from the main control means. It has a sub effect pattern selecting means for selecting, and based on the selection of the sub effect pattern selecting means, the display control means, the lighting control means and the voice control means perform the effect based on the control pattern, and the display control means and the lighting are performed. The effects executed by the control unit and the voice control unit are configured to have a content relation and a temporal relation.

If the control device for a gaming machine having such a structure is used, the display control means, the lighting control means and the voice control means, when receiving a control signal relating to the main effect pattern from the main control means, display based on this main effect pattern. , Lighting and voice output control are performed, but at the same time, display, lighting and voice output control based on a control pattern (sub effect pattern) corresponding to the set value updated and stored in the set value storage means are also performed. . That is,
Each sub-control means (display control means, lighting control means, and voice control means) not only synchronously performs an effect based on a main effect pattern for notifying a lottery result by a control signal from the main control means, The production of the production pattern is also performed at the same time. At this time, since the set value is updated and stored with the same regularity for all the sub control means, the same value is set, and each sub control means produces an effect based on the same sub effect pattern. It is synchronized (that is, related in terms of content and time).
As a result, since the main control pattern is stored in the main control means and the sub control pattern is stored in each sub control means, the memory load of the main control means can be reduced, and these main control patterns can be reduced. It is possible to perform various effects in synchronization by combining and the sub effect pattern.

The set value storage means provided in each of the sub control means, that is, the display control means, the lighting control means, and the voice control means, is reset when the power of the gaming machine is turned on, and has the same initial value. It is preferable that the value is set. As a result, the set values stored in the set value storage means of the sub control means can be reliably set to the same value.

The set value storage means provided in each of the display control means, the lighting control means and the voice control means is reset when a specific condition is achieved, and an initial value which is the same value is set. It may be configured to.
With this configuration, every time a specific condition is achieved during play, the set value storage means of all the sub-control means are reset to the same initial value, so that noise or the like occurs during play. Even if some of the set values in the set value storage means are changed for some reason and the set values of the control means are different from each other, the set values are reset to the same value each time the reset is performed. Therefore, the set storage values of all the sub control means can be always set to the same value during play, and the effects based on the sub effect patterns can be always performed in synchronization.

Further, the set value storage means is configured to update and store a value that changes based on a predetermined calculation as a set value when receiving a control signal relating to the main effect pattern from the main control means, and display control. The setting value storage means provided in the means, the lighting control means, and the voice control means all set a common value using this predetermined calculation when receiving a control signal related to the main effect pattern from the main control means. The value may be updated and stored. In this way, if a value that changes based on a predetermined calculation is updated and stored as a set value, it is possible to randomly perform a plurality of sub effect pattern effects and enhance the playability.

Drops and moves downward while changing direction.

When the game ball wins any of the general prize tools 16a, 16b, 34a, 34b during this drop movement, the prize is detected by the prize detection sensors 16c, 16d, 3
4c, 34d, and the detection signal is sent to the main control board 60. When this detection signal is received, an operation signal is output from the main control board 60 to the ball payout device 45, and the ball payout device 45 is actuated to raise a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) of prize balls for each winning ball. Alternatively, it is dispensed to the lower bowls 7a and 7b.

On the other hand, when the game ball falling and moving in the game area space passes through the left passage gate 15a, this is detected by the passage sensor 15c and the detection signal is the main control board 60.
Sent to. The main control board 60 performs tulip opening control S10 shown in the flow of FIG. 12 based on the passage detection signal. In this control, the passage sensor 15c
As a result, it is detected that the game ball has passed the left passage gate 15a, and the detection signal is input (step S1).
1) and the process proceeds to step S12, and in the display of the auxiliary variable display 32 that displays while changing the one-digit number, the number to be the stop symbol is determined from this one-digit number by random number lottery, and the auxiliary variable display 32 is operated (step S
13). This random number lottery, when the passage sensor 15c detects that the game ball has passed the left passage gate 15a, the random number counter unit 63 of the RAM 63 for updating and storing the random number counter value for the tulip open lottery.
The random number counter value stored in a is read as a lottery value, and this is performed based on whether or not this lottery value matches a predetermined number (for example, 7) that is a preset hit. Thus, the one-digit number is displayed while being changed on the auxiliary variation display 32, and after a predetermined time, the stop symbol determined in step S12 is displayed on the auxiliary variation display 32 (step S14).

Then, it is determined whether or not the stop symbols determined in this way are a predetermined number (for example, 7) to be a hit (step S15), and the stop symbols are a predetermined number (for example, 7). If there is, the process proceeds to step S16, and the blade opening / closing solenoid mechanism 17d is operated for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) to open the tulip blades 17a and 17b. When the stop symbols are other than the predetermined number, the tulip opening control is not performed and the flow is ended as it is.

As described above, the tulip opening control S
While playing 10, another game ball is left passing gate 15a
May pass through. At this time, if a passage detection signal is input from the passage sensor 15c to the main control board 60,
The main control board 60 stores this in the tulip opening control frequency memory composed of one of the RAMs 63 and the auxiliary symbol variation storage display section 33 composed of four LEDs.
One of the lights. Then, when the tulip opening control S10 is completed, the tulip opening control S10 corresponding to the storage of the tulip opening control count memory is performed. However, with the start of this control, the tulip opening control count memory is erased and the auxiliary symbol variation display section 33 is turned off. Such storage in the tulip opening control count memory and lighting display on the auxiliary symbol variation display unit 33 can simultaneously detect up to four passages, and the fifth passage is ignored. That is, the left passage gate 15a is set to 4 during the tulip opening control S10.
It is stored and held until individual game balls pass, but even if more game balls pass, they are not stored in control and ignored. Therefore, the auxiliary symbol variation storage display unit 33 is composed of four LED displays.

In this way, the tulip blade 17a,
When a game ball is won in the starting prize device 17 with the tub blades 17a, 17b closed or with the 17b open, the special game control means 65 causes the special game setting control S20 shown in FIG. Is done.
Until the special game setting control is performed in this way,
The above-mentioned game is called a normal game. In this control, the winning of the game ball to the starting winning device 17 is the winning detector 17
When it is detected by c (step S21), a random number lottery is first performed to determine whether or not a special game state is generated for this winning (step S22), and a predetermined number (for example, 5) is given by the prize ball payout control means 64. The control of paying out (a) individual prize balls to the upper or lower ball plates 7a, 7b is performed (step S23). This random number lottery is stored from the random number counter section 63a of the RAM 63 which updates and stores the random number counter value for the special game start lottery when the winning of the game ball to the starting winning prize 17 is detected by the prize detector 17c. The random number counter value is read as a lottery value and it is determined based on whether or not this lottery value matches a preset predetermined number.

At the same time, the liquid crystal display 22 in the display device 20 provided on the game board 10 is operated to control the variable display of special symbols on the screen of the liquid crystal display 22 (step S24). This is as if the three rotating drums of the slot machine rotate, and the special symbols such as numbers, letters, and pictures provided on each rotating drum are displayed on the liquid crystal display screen so that they change according to the rotation of the drum. To do.

After performing such variable display of the special symbols for a predetermined time, a predetermined stop symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal display 22 according to the lottery result in step S22 (step S25). In the process of displaying the stop symbols, various moving image displays and various effect patterns, which are so-called "reach", are displayed to attract and entertain the interest of the player. This effect pattern, for example, two symbols out of three symbols are stopped and displayed, and when these two stopped symbols match, the remaining symbols are stopped and displayed until the three stopped symbols are confirmed. There are various effect patterns that are performed in the above, and thereby, the player is expected to have a stop symbol and the playability is enhanced.
This effect pattern is stored in the ROM 62 of the main control board 60.
Alternatively, it is preset and stored in the ROM or the like of each sub-control board and is read out based on the random number lottery result in step S22. The effect control of this effect pattern will be described in detail later.

Here, when the result of the lottery in step S22 is a win, in step S25 the liquid crystal display 22 is hit and a symbol (for example, a symbol in which the numbers corresponding to the three drums are the same) is stopped and displayed, and in step S26. To step S27. On the other hand, when the result of the lottery is out, in step S25, the liquid crystal display 22 displays the symbol (for example, a symbol in which the numbers corresponding to the three drums are different) is stopped and displayed, and the control ends from step S26.

By the way, when the lottery result in step S22 is a win and the process proceeds from step S26 to step S27, the winning symbol displayed based on the lottery result in step S22 is a specific symbol or a non-specific symbol. It is determined whether or not there is a specific symbol, step S30
No. 1 special game control is performed, when the non-specific symbol, the second special game control of step S40 is performed. The specific design is, for example, a design in which three designs that are stop designs are matched by letters, pictures, or numbers 7, and the non-specific design is, for example, three designs that are stop designs are numbers other than 7. It is a matching design.

Therefore, the first special game control in step S30 will be described with reference to FIG. The first special game control is a control for establishing a special game state in which a unit game can be executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 14 times), and first, a unit game end condition for ending the unit game is selected (step S31). The unit game end condition is that the opening / closing door 35 is opened and the number of prize balls to be won from the special winning opening 31a to the first and second winning openings 37a and 37b, and a specific area, that is, the first winning opening 37a is a winning unit game. It is preset according to the condition of whether or not to end and the time limit. In step S31, this unit game end condition is read.

When the unit game end condition is selected in this way, the process proceeds to step S32, and the door opening solenoid mechanism 3
6 is operated to open the opening / closing door 35 of the attacker device 30 to start the first unit game. When the opening / closing door 35 is opened, the state shown in FIGS.
5 is tilted forward about 90 degrees, and the game ball falling and moving in the game area space is received by the opening / closing door 35, and it is very easy to win from the special winning opening 31a into the first and second winning openings 37a, 37b. Become. When a game ball is won in the first or second winning opening 37a, 37b in such a state, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of prize balls are given to the prize ball by the prize ball payout control means 64. Top or bottom bowl 7
It is paid out to a and 7b.

At this time, when the specific area guide plate 38 is swingably moved to the specific area guide position, it is easy to win the specific area, that is, the first winning opening 37a, and is swingably moved to the non-specific area guide position. At times, it becomes easier to win the non-specific area, that is, the second winning opening 37b. Here, by the guide plate drive mechanism 38a, when the opening / closing door 35 is opened, the guide plate drive mechanism 38a is swung to a specific area guide position so that the first winning opening 37a is easily set, and the first winning opening 37a is set.
After the game ball is won, the game ball is oscillated to the non-specific area guiding position.

When the first unit game is started in this way, it is determined whether or not the unit game end condition selected in step S31 is achieved as described above (step S33), and the unit game end condition is determined. The operation of step S32 is continued until is achieved.

As described above, the unit game is performed under the operation of step S32, and when it is determined in step S33 that the unit game ending condition selected in step S31 is achieved, the opening / closing door 35 is closed in step S34. After that, it is determined in step S35 whether or not the continuation condition is achieved. This continuation condition is a condition whether or not a game ball is won in a specific area, that is, the first winning opening 37a during a unit game, and the continuation condition is set only when there is a prize in a specific area during a unit game. It is judged that it has been achieved.
For this reason, when the unit game is finished without winning a prize in the specific area, the process proceeds from step S35 to step S37, and the control for terminating the current special game is performed as it is.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S35 that the continuation condition is satisfied (when there is at least one winning ball in the specific area during the unit game this time), the process proceeds to step S36. Then, until the number of repetitions (round number) of the unit game after starting the first special game state this time becomes 14 times, the process returns to the step S32 and the next unit game is performed. In this way, when the unit game is repeated 14 times, from step S36 to step S36
Proceeding to 37, the current first special game state is ended.

In the second special game control of step S40, almost the same control as the first special game is performed. For this reason,
Although the description is omitted, the first special game control and the second special game control are different in the unit game end condition, the continuation condition, and the number of times the unit game is performed, and the first special game is the second special game. Conditions are set that make it easier to win more prize balls.

The display of various effect patterns on the liquid crystal display 22 in step S24 and the like will be described below. There are various effect patterns as described above, and as one example, effect pattern examples commonly referred to as "reach" are shown in FIGS.
In these figures, the left and right two symbols 22a, 22c of the three symbols 22a, 22b, 22c that are rotated and displayed so that the three rotating drums of the slot machine rotate on the screen of the liquid crystal display 22 are stopped and displayed. The remaining one design 22b is displayed in a rotating manner. Further, a symbol 22d showing the reliability is displayed on the right side of the screen. These patterns 22a, 22b, 22c, 22
d is an effect pattern preset and stored in the ROM 62 of the main control board 60, which is referred to as a main effect pattern. As described above, this main effect pattern is based on the random number lottery result of step S22, the sub control board,
That is, it is output to the display control board 25, the lighting control board 71, and the audio control board 75, and is displayed by these sub-control boards.

In this way, when the main effect pattern is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 22, sub effect patterns showing various characters are displayed on the background as shown in the figure. As described above, the main effect pattern is stored in the ROM 62 of the main control board 60 and is displayed in accordance with the random number lottery result in step S22. However, the sub effect pattern has the image display information R of the display control board 25.
The OM (not shown) is set and stored, the lighting or blinking control information of the lamp decoration is set and stored in the ROM (not shown) of the lighting control board 71, and the voice output information is set to the voice control board 7.
5 is set and stored in a ROM (not shown), and when a control signal for performing a main effect pattern is received from the main control board 60, the control signal is displayed in synchronization with the control signal.

By the way, in order to add variety to the game,
A plurality of sub effect patterns are stored in the ROM of each sub control board, and when a control signal for performing the main effect pattern is received from the main control board 60, the plurality of sub effect patterns (for example, FIG. 15). ~ Fig. 17
The sub effect patterns indicating the three types of characters A, B, and C) are appropriately selected and displayed. At this time, it is necessary for each of the sub control boards 25, 71, and 75 to select a sub effect pattern indicating the same character and display it together with the main effect pattern, but as shown in FIG. Sub control board 25, 7
1 and 75 are only connected to the main control board 60, respectively, and the sub control boards 25, 71, and 75 are not connected to each other. Therefore, these three sub control boards synchronize sub effect patterns of the same type. Need to be selected. The control method for this selection will be described below.

This control is performed by each sub-control board 25, 71,
All of the steps 75 are performed by performing the control shown in FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 18, a command saving process (step S40) of saving a control command from the main control board 60 is performed. Here, the control command from the main control board 60 is read (step S41) and stored in the buffer of each sub-control board (step S42). In parallel with this, the command analysis process (step S50) shown in FIG. 19 is performed. Here, it is first determined whether or not the control command is saved (step S51), and when the control command is saved, it is determined whether or not this is a command related to the effect pattern (step S52), and other commands In case of, the processing according to this command is performed (step S56).
If it is a command relating to the effect pattern, the setting value (random number) set and stored in each setting value memory 25a, 71a, 75a provided for each sub-control board 25, 71, 75 is updated (step S53), the sub effect pattern is determined based on this set value (step S54), and execution of the sub effect pattern thus determined is requested (step S55).

In this way, the sub effect pattern performed by each sub control board is executed. At this time, the set values stored in the set value memories 25a, 71a, and 75a are all the same. Update process like
And for the same set value, each sub-control board 25, 7
If the sub-control boards 25, 71, and 75 receive a command from the main control board 60 to execute the main effect patterns, the sub-control boards 25, 71, and 75 are set to execute the same effect sub-effect patterns. It is possible to execute the same type of sub effect pattern in synchronization. Therefore, the random number updating process in step S53 is performed as shown in FIG. First, the random number update times set as shown in Table 1 below according to the current main effect pattern sent from the main control board 60 are acquired (step S6).
1).

[0059]

[Table 1]

For example, when the main effect pattern is effect pattern 1, the random number update count is 3, and 3 is acquired as the current random number update count. Then, the presence or absence of the number of times of updating the random number thus obtained (for example, in the case of the effect pattern 7, the number of times of updating the random number is zero, i.e., not present) is determined.
The set values (random number values) set and stored in 5a, 71a, and 75a are retained as they are. On the other hand, when there is the number of times of updating the random number, the random number update calculation based on the formula shown in step S63 is repeated for the number of times of updating the random number acquired this time (step S64), and the new set value is updated and stored in each set value memory 25a, 71a, 75a. To do. In the equation shown in step S63, when the value obtained by adding 1 to the value obtained by multiplying the set value (random number value) set and stored in the set value memory by 5 is less than 64, the value is changed to the new set value ( It is updated and stored as a (random number value), and when 64 or more, an integer multiple of 64 is subtracted to obtain a value of 0 to 63 and then updated and stored.

Here, each set value memory 25a, 71a, 7
The initial value of 5a is set to the same value, and the sub-control boards 25, 71, and 75 update and store the set value (random number value) based on the calculation formula shown in step S53. , Each set value memory 25a, 71a,
The set values (random number values) updated and stored every time the 75a receives an instruction to execute the main effect pattern from the main control board 60, all set value memories 25a, 71a, 75a.
Have the same value in.

Next, the effect determination process shown in step S54 is performed based on the thus updated and stored set value (random number value), which is shown in detail in FIG. Here, first, from the character selection table (Table 2) preset for the main effect pattern type (that is, the effect pattern type shown in Table 1) sent from the main control board 60, The selection table corresponding to the main effect pattern is acquired (step S7).
1).

[0063]

[Table 2]

For example, when the main production pattern this time is the production pattern 4, the table for the production pattern 4 is acquired, and the set values (random number values) updated and stored in the respective set value memories 25a, 71a, 75a are stored. Select the corresponding character. For example, when the set value is 0 to 3, the character A is won (step S72), and the effect of the character A is selected as the sub effect pattern (step S73). Similarly, when the set value is 4 to 15, the character B is won (step S74), and the effect of the character B is selected as the sub effect pattern (step S74).
75), when the set value is 16, the character C is won (step S76), and the effect of the character C is selected as the sub effect pattern (step S77). Also,
When the number is other than the above, none is won, and an effect without a character is selected as the sub effect pattern.

As described above, in synchronization with the execution of the main effect pattern, the sub effect patterns for causing the predetermined characters selected as described above to appear by the sub control boards 25, 71, 75 are executed. At this time, the data related to the main effect pattern is R of the main control board 60.
Although stored in the OM 62, the data regarding the sub effect pattern is divided into image, lighting, and voice control and stored in the ROM of each control board, and the capacity load of the ROM 62 of the main control board 60 should be reduced. You can In addition, the type of sub effect pattern, that is, the type of character that appears in this sub effect pattern is set randomly regardless of the main effect pattern, and the variety of games can be increased and the playability can be improved. For example, as shown in Table 1, the main effect pattern is 1
If 0 types and 4 types (characters A, B, C and no character) can be selected as the sub effect patterns as shown in FIG. 21, 10 × 4 = 40 types of effects are possible.

As the set values to be updated and stored in the set value memories 25a, 71a and 75a of the sub control boards 25, 71 and 75, the same initial values are first set when the power is turned on.
After that, the same calculation (step S62 and step S63) is performed every time a command for executing the main effect pattern is sent from the main control board 60.
These set values are always the same.
However, when some of the sub control boards fail to receive the command from the main control board, the set values of the sub control boards may differ from each other. Therefore, when a specific winning condition is achieved during the game (for example, when the first special game is achieved), the values of all the set value memories 25a, 71a, 75a are the same value. You may make it perform the process reset to an initial value.

In the above, the display control example of the liquid crystal display in the pachinko machine has been described, but the control device of the present invention is not limited to such a pachinko machine, and other game machines, for example, The same applies to slot machines and the like.

[0068]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The display control means (board), the lighting control means (board), and the voice control means (board) receive a control signal relating to the main effect pattern from the main control means (board), and control display, lighting, and audio output based on the main effect pattern. In addition, the display, lighting, and voice output control based on the sub effect pattern corresponding to the set value (sub effect pattern set value) updated and stored in the set value storage means are also performed. At this time, since the set value is updated and stored with the same regularity for all the sub control means, the same value is set, and each sub control means produces an effect based on the same sub effect pattern. Synchronize (contentually and temporally related). As a result, since the main control pattern is stored in the main control means and the sub control pattern is stored in each sub control means, the memory load of the main control means can be reduced, and these main control patterns can be reduced. It is possible to perform various effects in synchronization by combining and the sub effect pattern.

The set value storage means provided in each of the sub-control means, that is, the display control means, the lighting control means and the voice control means, is reset when the power of the gaming machine is turned on and has the same initial value. It is preferable that the value is set. As a result, the set values stored in the set value storage means of the sub control means can be reliably set to the same value.

Further, the set value storage means provided in each of the display control means, the lighting control means and the voice control means is reset when a specific condition is achieved, and the same initial value is set. It may be configured to.
With this configuration, every time a specific condition is achieved during play, the set value storage means of all the sub-control means are reset to the same initial value, so that noise or the like occurs during play. Even if some of the set values in the set value storage means are changed for some reason and the set values of the control means are different from each other, the set values are reset to the same value each time the reset is performed. Therefore, the set storage values of all the sub control means can be always set to the same value during play, and the effects based on the sub effect patterns can be always performed in synchronization.

Further, the set value storage means is configured to update and store a value that changes based on a predetermined calculation as a set value when receiving a control signal relating to the main effect pattern from the main control means, and display control. The setting value storage means provided in the means, the lighting control means, and the voice control means all set a common value using this predetermined calculation when receiving a control signal related to the main effect pattern from the main control means. The value may be updated and stored. In this way, if a value that changes based on a predetermined calculation is updated and stored as a set value, it is possible to randomly perform a plurality of sub effect pattern effects and enhance the playability.
