Next, details of the operation of the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 11 to 13. Each step in the flowchart is abbreviated as "S" below. 11. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the main routine of the pachinko machine 1, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the normal symbol hit determination process of the pachinko machine 1, and FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the specific game state transition determination process.

In the flowchart of the main routine shown in FIG. 11, the CPU 51 of the main board 41 sequentially processes from the start in accordance with the reset signal generated by the interrupt reset circuit 57 shown in FIG. 4 at a constant interval time (for example, 2 ms). The process from the start to the end is performed within 2 ms. Therefore, every time a reset signal is input at 2 ms intervals, the process is repeated from the start. A program for performing the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 11 is stored in the control program storage area 53a of the ROM 53 shown in FIG.

In the flowchart of the main routine of the pachinko machine 1 shown in FIG. 11, first, when the first reset signal is input, stack pointer setting processing for setting the designated address of the stack pointer is performed (S1). Then, a RAM check for checking the stored contents of the RAM 52 is performed (S2). This RAM check (S2)
Is for determining whether or not the initialization process at power-on is being performed. At this time, it is determined whether or not a predetermined numerical value written in the power-on initialization process shown in S3 is written in the initialization storage area 52l of the RAM 52. When the predetermined value is not written in the initial setting storage area 52l (S2: NO), the initial setting process after power-on is not performed, so the initial setting process at power-on is performed (S3). ). In this process, the stored value in each storage area of the RAM 52 is reset,
Furthermore, the value of each loop counter stored in the loop counter storage area 52a is set to an initial value (for example,
"0"), and a predetermined numerical value is stored in the initial setting storage area 52l. Then, the process ends.

With the next reset signal, processing is performed from the start. First, in the RAM check (S2),
Since a predetermined numerical value is written in the initial setting storage area 52l, the RAM 52 is determined to be normal (S2: YE
S), and shifts to the next liquid crystal screen command output process (S4). In this liquid crystal screen command output process (S4), I /
A signal for controlling the normal symbol display device 8 is sent to the symbol display board 44 through the O interface 54. Then, the process proceeds to the sound command output process (S5). In this sound command output process (S5), a signal for driving the speaker 48 is sent to the sound board 43 via the I / O interface 54. Then, a lamp command output process (S6) is performed. This lamp command output process (S
In 6), a signal for controlling blinking of various lamps provided on the pachinko machine 1 is output to the decorative board 46. Next, port output processing is performed (S7). In this port output process (S7), various information such as hit information, start information, probability variation information, and time reduction information of the pachinko machine 1 is output to the hall management computer (not shown) through the output port 55.

Next, a switch reading process (S8) is performed. This switch reading process (S8) is to detect the winning of the game ball to the normal symbol starting gate 11, the first starting port 12, the second starting port 15, the second type special electric auditors product 16, etc. . In the switch reading process (S8), specifically, the first starting port switch 72 provided in the first starting port 12, the second starting port switch 77 provided in the second starting port 15, Ordinary symbol operation switch 73 provided in the normal symbol starting gate 11, V switch 7 provided in the specific area 16c of the second type special electric auditors product 16
4, when the count switch 75 provided in the second type special electric auditors product 16 and the winning opening switch 76 for detecting the winning of the game ball from the normal winning opening (not shown) detect the winning of the playing ball, Prize winning ball flag storage area 52 of RAM 52
A flag corresponding to each switch is set in m.

In addition, when the normal symbol actuating switch 73 provided in the normal symbol starting gate 11 detects the passage of the game ball, up to four winning numbers, the normal symbol starting winning number storage area 52e of the RAM52. Remembered and R
The loop counter storage area 52a of the AM52 is stored in the normal symbol hit determination loop counter LC2, normal symbol creation counters LC3, LC4, LC5, reach determination counter LC6, reach pattern determination counter LC
7, and each value of the normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination counter LC9 is sequentially stored in the storage area 1 to the storage area 4 of the normal symbol random number storage area 52c, and the corresponding normal symbol storage number display LED 59 is turned on. Therefore, the maximum number of reservations is four.

When the switch reading process (S8) is completed,
Then, a loop counter updating process (S9) is performed. In this loop counter update processing (S9), the normal symbol selection loop counter LC1, the normal symbol hit determination loop counter LC2, and the normal symbol creation counter LC stored in the loop counter storage area 52a of the RAM 52, respectively.
3, LC4, LC5, reach determination counter LC6, reach pattern determination counter LC7, normal symbol variation pattern determination counter LC9 is increased by the above-mentioned predetermined amount (increment). It should be noted that when the maximum value set in each loop counter is exceeded, the value of each loop counter is cleared to 0 and programmed to return to "0".

Next, in the main routine of the pachinko machine 1 shown in FIG. 11, when the loop counter updating process (S9) is completed, it is judged whether or not an error has occurred in the pachinko machine 1 (S10), and the pachinko machine 1 is executed. If an error has occurred in 1 (S10: YES), the condition device processing (S1
1), skip the normal symbol processing (S12) and perform processing,
The normal symbol display device 8 is caused to display an error or the like. When no error has occurred (S10: NO), the process proceeds to the condition device process (S11).

In this condition device processing (S11), the RAM
When the "ON" flag of the first starting opening switch 72 is stored in the winning ball flag storage area 52m of 52,
First opening / closing members 16a, 16 of the second type special electric accessory 16
b is opened once for 5 seconds and the flag is turned off. Also, the winning ball flag storage area 52m of the RAM 52
When the "ON" flag of the second starting opening switch 77 is stored in the table, the first opening / closing members 16a and 16b of the second type special electric accessory 16 are continuously opened for 5 seconds twice, and Turn off the flag. Further, the normal symbol hit flag storage area 52h of the RAM52 hit flag ON
If it is, that is, if there is a hit, the second opening / closing members 15a and 15b of the second starting port 15 are opened once for 5 seconds. Further, when the "ON" flag of the V switch 74 is stored in the winning ball flag storage area 52m of the RAM 52, opening of the first opening / closing members 16a and 16b of the second type special electric auditors product 16 is performed, for example. 15 times in a row. In the process of the first round, since the hit determination process of the normal symbol in the later-described normal symbol process (S12) has not been performed yet, nothing is performed in the condition device process (S11), and the process proceeds to the next process. Next, a normal symbol process (S12) described later is performed.

When the normal symbol process (S12) ends, next, the payout control (S13) for paying out the prize balls is performed, and the main routine process ends through the frame lamp control (S14) for blinking the frame lamp. To do. The processing of this main routine, including the processing of each subroutine, is 2 ms.
Finish within. Then, in response to a reset signal from the interrupt reset circuit 57, the CPU 51 repeats the processing of the main routine shown in FIG. 11 from the start. Therefore, the processing of the main routine shown in FIG. 11 is repeated every 2 ms.

Next, the normal symbol processing (S12) will be described. In this normal symbol process (S12), the normal symbol hit determination process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 12 is performed. In this normal symbol hit determination process, first, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol start gate 11 has been won (S2
1). This judgment is normally the symbol start winning number storage area 52
It is performed depending on whether or not the number of winning balls stored in e is 0.
When the number of winning balls stored in the normal symbol start winning number storage area 52e is "0" (S21: NO), the normal symbol hitting determination process is ended, and the process returns to the main routine.

The number of winning balls stored in the normal symbol starting winning number storage area 52e is not "0", that is, 1 to
If it is determined to be one of 4 (S21: YE
S), the value of each random number stored in the storage area 1 of the normal symbol random number storage area 52c is shifted to the determination area and read out, and each is stored in the storage areas 2 to 4 in the normal symbol random number storage area 52c. The storage area is shifted one by one by the value of the random number (S22). That is, the storage value of the storage area 2 of the normal symbol random number storage area 52c is moved to the storage area 1, the storage value of the storage area 3 is moved to the storage area 2, and the storage value of the storage area 4 is moved to the storage area 3. Next, the storage number of the normal symbol start winning number storage area 52e is subtracted by "1", that is, the number of reserved balls is subtracted (S23).

Next, the hit determination of the normal symbol is performed (S
24). In the present embodiment, the value of the normal symbol hit determination loop counter LC2 is between "0" and "9", so the random number value of the normal symbol hit determination loop counter LC2 read in the determination area in S22. Also "0" to "9"
It is either. Here, it is determined whether or not the value (random number value) of the normal symbol hit determination loop counter LC2 read in S22 is a specific value determined as a hit value, for example, "7". When the value of the normal symbol hit determination loop counter LC2 read in S22 is "7" (S24: YES), "1" is set in the normal symbol hit flag storage area 52h of the RAM 52 to turn on the hit flag. Reach pattern determination counter L stored (S25) and then read in S22
A hit reach pattern selection process is performed based on the value of C7 (S26).

This hit reach pattern selection processing (S2
In 6), referring to the hit reach pattern table stored in the hit reach pattern table storage area 53b shown in FIG. 9, the reach change pattern command is selected, and the reach change pattern command is stored in the RAM.
It is stored in the symbol variation command storage area 52r of 52 (S26). In addition, in the process of S26, in addition to the storage of the reach variation pattern command, the illuminated windmills 9 and 1 at the time of reach.
0, the lamp command for lighting or blinking the electric lamp 63, etc. is stored in the lamp command storage area 52s of the RAM 52, the sound command of the sound effect emitted from the speaker 48 is stored in the sound command storage area 52t of the RAM 52, and the firing handle 7 The firing handle vibration command for vibrating is stored in the firing handle vibration command storage area 52u of the RAM 52.

Next, a winning symbol selection process is carried out (S2
7). When the hit display is performed, the hit symbol is selected based on the value of the normal symbol creation counter LC3 stored in the normal symbol random number storage area 52c. The normal symbol creation counter LC3 is any value between "0" and "9", but since the value of the normal symbol hit determination loop counter LC2 has the same value, the ordinary symbol is a hit. In this case, the value of the normal symbol creation counter LC3 is also "7". Therefore, the winning symbol of the normal symbol is "7, 7,
7 ”, and the data showing the selected winning design is R
The first stop symbol storage area 52o, the second stop symbol storage area 52p, and the third stop symbol storage area 52q of the AM 52 are stored (S27).

In the determination of S24, if the random number value of the normal symbol hit determination loop counter LC2 read in S22 is, for example, other than "7" which is a hit (S2
4: NO), reach determination counter L read in S22
Depending on the value of C6, it is determined whether or not the off reach operation is performed (S28). The value of the reach determination counter LC6 is
In the case of “20 to 39”, it is determined that the reach is out (S28: YES). When it is determined to be out of reach (S28: YES), based on the normal symbol creation counter LC3 and the normal symbol creation counter LC4 read in S22, the stop symbol of the outly reach is the first stop symbol storage area 52o of the RAM 52, Second stop symbol storage area 52p
And the third stop symbol storage area 52q respectively (S
29) Also, referring to the outlying reach pattern table stored in the outlying reach pattern table storage area 53c of the ROM 53, the outlying reach variation pattern command is selected and the reach variation pattern command is the pattern variation command in the RAM 52. Storage area 52r

In the processing of S31, in addition to the storage of the reach variation pattern command, the illuminated windmills 9 and 1 at the time of reach are also available.
A lamp command for turning on or blinking 0 or the electric lamp 63 is stored in the lamp command storage area 52s of the RAM 52, and a sound command of a sound effect emitted from the speaker 48 is stored in the sound command storage area 52t of the RAM 52.

Next, when the reach is not determined in the determination processing of S28 (S28: NO), the random numbers of the normal symbol creation counter LC3, the normal symbol creation counter LC4, and the normal symbol creation counter LC5 read in S22 are used. Based on this, the detachment stop symbol selection processing (S30) is performed, and the RAM
The first stop symbol storage area 52o of 52, the second stop symbol storage area 52p and the third stop symbol storage area 52q are stored (S30). When the processing of S27 or S30 or S31 is completed, next, a symbol designating command for designating a stop symbol to be confirmed and displayed in the symbols of the first symbol display part L1, the second symbol display part L2, and the third symbol display part L3 Output to the display substrate 44 (S32). This design command is
First stop symbol storage area 52o of RAM52, second stop symbol storage area 52p and third stop symbol storage area 52
It is output based on the stop symbols stored in q (S32).

Then, a variation pattern command output process is performed (S33). In this variation pattern command output process, the variation pattern command of the symbol stored in the symbol variation command storage area 52r of the RAM 52 of the main board 41 is output to the symbol display board 44. When the reach variation pattern command is stored in the symbol variation command storage area 52r of the RAM 52, the reach variation pattern command is output from the main substrate 41 to the symbol display substrate 44,
If the reach variation pattern command is not stored, the normal variation variation pattern command is output from the main board 41 to the symbol display board 44 (S33). In the symbol display board 44, based on the variation pattern command received from the main board 41, according to the symbol variation data stored in the ROM (not shown), the first symbol display section L1 of the ordinary symbol display device 8 described later, the second symbol Display part L2, 3rd symbol display part L
Control the fluctuation of the symbol of 3. In the process of S33, the lamp command stored in the lamp command storage area 52s is output to the decorative board 46 simultaneously with the output of the pattern variation pattern command, and the sound command stored in the sound command storage area 52t is output to the sound board 43. The vibration command of the firing handle stored in the firing handle vibration command storage area 52u is output to the firing handle control device 78.

Next, from the main board 41 to the pattern display board 44
In the first symbol display unit L1, the second symbol display unit L2, the third symbol display unit L3 is output the all symbol stop command for stopping the first symbol to the third symbol that are variably displayed (S34).
When the all symbol stop command is received, the symbol display board 44
, On the basis of the symbol designating command which has already been received, the first stop symbol to the third stop symbol are sequentially stopped on the first symbol display parts L1 to L3 of the normal symbol display device 8 at a predetermined timing. When the hit determination process described above is completed, FIG.
The process returns to the main routine of the pachinko machine 1 shown in.

Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the specific game state transition determination processing will be described. FIG. 13 shows an electric circuit board 46.
It is a flowchart of a specific game state transition determination process performed by the CPU 46a of FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, in the specific game state transition determination processing, first, the decorative board 46 is the main board 4
When a lamp command for blinking or turning on the illuminated windmills 9 and 10 or the illuminated lamp 63 is received from 1 (S51:
YES), it is determined whether or not the specific game state (S5)
2). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the specific game state flag stored in the specific game state flag storage area 46c2 of the RAM 46 of the illuminated board 46 is "ON".

When it is not in the specific game state (S52:
No), the blinking pattern of the received lamp command determines whether it is within the range of entering the specific game mode (S5).
3). Specifically, the blinking pattern of the lamp command received in S51 includes blinking patterns 1 to 6
There are 64 ways up to 4, of which, blinking pattern 17-
In the case of 33 (S53: YES), the specific game state determination counter LC8 stored in the specific game state determination counter storage area 46c1 of the RAM 46c is acquired in order to perform a lottery as to whether or not to enter the specific game state (S54). ).
The specific game state determination counter LC8 is incremented in units of 2 ms and returns to "0" when it exceeds "149". Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the acquired specific game state determination counter LC8 is "3", "7", "77" which is the value to enter the specific game state (S55). The value of the specific game state determination counter LC8 is
Since there are 150 ways from "0 to 149", the probability of entering the specific game state is 1/50.

When the value of the specific game state determination counter LC8 obtained in the process of S54 is "3", "7", "77" which is the value to enter the specific game state (S55: Y)
ES), the specific game state flag storage area 46c2 of the RAM 46c stores the specific game state flag "ON", and the specific game state mode is entered (S56). In this specific game state, when the normal symbol hits (S57: YE
S), the second opening / closing members 15a, 15 of the second starting port 15
That b is opened, at least by operating the firing handle 7, a game ball is fired, and at a timing before the time when the fired game ball reaches the second starting opening 15,
The illuminated windmills 9 and 10 are lit or blinked to notify (S5).
8). Then, the process returns to S51. If it is determined to be "NO" in S51, S53, S55, or S57, the process returns to S51.

Further, when the lamp command is received (S51: YES), in the specific game state (S5
2: YES), it is determined whether the blinking pattern of the received lamp command is within the specific game mode omission range (S
59). Specifically, the blinking pattern of the lamp command received in S51 includes 64 patterns from the blinking pattern 1 to the blinking pattern 64, and therefore, in the case of the blinking patterns 1 to 33 (S59: YES), the identification is performed. In order to perform a lottery as to whether or not to exit from the game state, the specific game state determination counter LC8 stored in the specific game state determination counter storage area 46c1 of the RAM 46c is acquired (S6).
0). Next, the value of the acquired specific game state determination counter LC8 is the value that exits from the specific game state "9.
It is determined whether it is "9" (S61). The value of the specific game state determination counter LC8 is 15 from "0 to 149".
Since there are 0 ways, the probability of getting out of the specific game state is 15
It will be 1/0.

When the value of the specific game state determination counter LC8 obtained in the process of S60 is "99" which is the value for leaving the specific game state (S61: YES), RAM
The specific game state flag OFF is stored in the specific game state flag storage area 46c2 of 46c, the mode of the specific game state is exited (S62), and the process returns to S51. In this game state, even if the normal symbol is hit, the fact that the second opening / closing members 15a and 15b of the second starting opening 15 are opened is not notified. In the determination process of S59, the blinking pattern of the lamp command received in S51 is the blinking pattern 34
In the case of ~ 64 (S59: NO), the process proceeds to S57,
Can't get out of the specific game state. Further, when the value of the specific game state determination counter LC8 acquired in the processing of S61 is other than "99" which is the value for exiting the specific game state (S6
1: NO), the process proceeds to S57, and the specific game state cannot be exited.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, when the specific game state is entered, the second opening / closing members 15a and 15b of the second starting opening 15 are opened at least the firing handle 7.
