Therefore, the gauge design can be easily performed and the player is not bored by diversifying the flow of the game balls.
Further, the movable member 27 is driven by a driving unit 93, which is a mole body 108, a head 109, a right arm 110, a left arm 111, a rotating shaft 116, a driving plate 117, and a driving unit. Since the drive motor 113 and the solenoid 114 are unitized by the drive unit, attachment to and removal from the game board 9 are easy. Furthermore, by providing the wiring hole 95 in the movable member attaching portion 54, the wiring 94 extended from the drive unit 93 of the attached movable member 27 can be passed through the back side of the game board 9, and the wiring 94 can be easily handled. It becomes.
In addition, the movable member 27 is attached to the movable member attaching portion 54 by fitting the fixed portions 101 and 102 into the fixed grooves 91 and 92, so that the movable member 27 can be easily attached to the game board 9. And it can position reliably, and the movable member 27 can always be attached with the correct direction and position. Thereby, when the protective door 6 is closed, the movable member 27 attached to the game board 9 can be reliably guided to the insertion port 87 and disposed in the hollow portion 83.

  Next, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 will be described below. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment, when a pachinko ball wins at the start port 69, the three symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 are changed, and thereafter, the three symbols being changed are stopped in a predetermined combination. In such a case, the big winning opening 73 is operated in a predetermined opening pattern, resulting in a “hit game state”.

In this regard, the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 will be described. Here, the symbols are “1”, “2”, “3”, “4” as shown in FIG. , “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “11”, “12” are prepared. Then, as shown in FIG. 18, these 12 kinds of symbols are displayed in the left symbol display area 61, the middle symbol display area 62, and the right symbol display area 63 provided in the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58, respectively. In principle, “1” → “2” → “3” → “4” → “5” → “6” → “7” → “8” → “9” → “10” → “11” → “12” After changing in the order of “1” →..., Stop in the order of the left symbol display area 61, the middle symbol display area 62, and the right symbol display area 63.
Hereinafter, the combination of symbols stopped and displayed in the left symbol display area 61, the middle symbol display area 62, and the right symbol display area 63 is referred to as a “final stop symbol”.

At this time, when the symbols stopped and displayed in the left symbol display area 61, the middle symbol display area 62, and the right symbol display area 63 are all the same, for example, 12 combinations shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the game is stopped in a predetermined combination, and after stopping in the predetermined combination, the “big hit gaming state” in which the big prize opening 73 is operated in a predetermined release pattern.
Hereinafter, the 12 combinations of symbols shown in FIG. 18 are referred to as “hit symbols”.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 19, the left symbol display area 61 and the middle symbol display area 62 are stopped and displayed at the same symbol, and the symbols displayed in the right symbol display area 63 are changing. There is a possibility that the player stops at any one of the predetermined combinations shown and shifts to the “hit game state”, and at this time, the player has a sense of expectation. Therefore, a state in which the player has a sense of expectation, that is, as shown in FIG. 19, the left symbol display area 61 and the middle symbol display area 62 are stopped and displayed with the same symbol, and the right symbol display area 63 is displayed. A state in which the displayed symbol is changing is called a “reach state”. In addition, the symbol combination of the state in which the left symbol display area 61 and the middle symbol display area 62 are stopped / displayed with the same symbol and the right symbol display area 63 is stopped / displayed with a different symbol is referred to as “hasle reach design”. It is called. Further, in this “reach state”, various “reach images” are displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 in order to increase the player's expectation, and the illumination lamps 12, 78A to 81A are used. Turn on the lamp. Here, four types of reach A, reach B, reach C, and reach D are prepared for “reach video”, and any one of them is displayed (see FIG. 30 described later). Furthermore, music, sound effects, and voices associated with each reach type flow from the speaker 17 in conjunction with each other, and the movable member 27 moves according to the operation pattern (see the effect selection table 172 and FIG. 30). In addition, the illumination lamps 12, 78A to 81A are lit according to the illumination pattern associated with each reach type (an illumination selection table 173, see FIG. 31).

  The symbol change / stop operation displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is performed by two counters (a big hit counter, a symbol counter, FIG. 39) acquired immediately after the pachinko ball wins a winning opening 69. , See FIG. 44). Here, whether or not to stop the three symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 in a predetermined combination (shown in FIG. 18), that is, whether or not to enter the “hit game state”. In addition, it is determined on the basis of the value of the jackpot counter acquired immediately after the pachinko ball wins at the start opening 69, and for each of the three symbols displayed on the display 60 of the symbol display device 58, “1”. , “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “11”, “12”, Which number of “big hit symbol” is determined is determined based on the value of the symbol counter acquired immediately after the pachinko ball wins the start opening 69.

  In addition, as described above, the operation of changing / stopping the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is triggered by the winning of a pachinko ball at the start port 69. When the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is fluctuating, and when a pachinko ball is won at the start port 69, the values of the two counters acquired at the time of winning are stored and held. Immediately after the changing symbol is stopped, or when the changing symbol is stopped in a predetermined combination (as shown in FIG. 18), immediately after the “big hit gaming state” is ended, the storage / holding Based on the values of the two counters, the operation of changing / stopping the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is started. Here, it is possible to hold up to four sets of values of the two counters stored and held.

  This point will be described in detail. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment, two counters (a big hit counter, a symbol counter, see FIGS. 39 and 44) acquired immediately after the pachinko ball wins the start opening 5 are displayed. As shown in FIG. 20 (a), five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 that can be stored / suspended are reserved for the values, and among these, four storage areas E1, E2 are reserved. , E3, E4, four holding lamps 71 corresponding to each of them are provided on the upper part of the symbol display device 58 (see FIG. 18). When a pachinko ball wins at the start port 69, as shown in FIG. 20B, a set of counter values D0 acquired at the time of winning is stored in the storage area E0 and stored in the storage area E0. Based on the value D0 of one set of counters, the operation of changing / stopping the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is started.

  Thereafter, when the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is fluctuating, and when a pachinko ball wins in the starting port 69, as shown in FIG. The counter value D1 of the set is stored / held in the storage area E1, and one holding lamp 71 corresponding to the storage area E1 is turned on. In FIG. 20, the black color of the holding lamp 71 indicates lighting and the white color indicates non-lighting. After that, when the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is fluctuating, and a pachinko ball wins at the starting port 69, as shown in FIG. The set value D2 of the set of counters is stored and held in the storage area E2, and one holding lamp 71 corresponding to the storage area E2 is turned on.

  After that, when the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is fluctuating, and when a pachinko ball wins at the start port 69, as shown in FIG. The set value D3 of the set of counters is stored / held in the storage area E3, and one holding lamp 71 corresponding to the storage area E3 is turned on. After that, when the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is fluctuating, and a pachinko ball wins at the starting port 69, as shown in FIG. The value D4 of the set of counters is stored / held in the storage area E4, and one holding lamp 71 corresponding to the storage area E4 is turned on.

  After that, even if the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is fluctuating, and even if a pachinko ball wins the start opening 69, the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3 A set of counter values D0, D1, D2, D3, and D4 is stored in each of E4, and there is no area for storing / holding a set of counter values to be acquired at the time of winning. Sometimes we don't get the value of a set of counters.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 20 (f), in the state where one set of counter values D0, D1, D2, D3, D4 is stored in each of the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, E4. When the symbol change / stop operation displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is completed based on the value D0 of the set of counters stored in the storage area E0, (a ), The storage area E0 is emptied, and one set of counter values D1 stored in the storage area E1 is overwritten on the storage area E0, and one set of counter values stored in the storage area E2 is overwritten. D2 is overwritten in the storage area E1, the set of counter values D3 stored in the storage area E3 is overwritten in the storage area E2, and the set of counter values D4 stored in the storage area E4 is stored in the storage area E3. Overwrite and empty storage area E4 And turns off the one hold lamps 71 corresponding to the storage area E4. In FIG. 21, the black color of the holding lamp 71 indicates lighting and the white color indicates off. As a result, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), based on the value D1 of one set of counters stored in the storage area E0, the variation of symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is changed. The stop operation is started. At this time, since the storage area E4 is empty, if a pachinko ball wins at the start port 69, it is possible to store / hold the value of one set of counters acquired at the time of winning in the storage area E4.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21B, in a state where one set of counter values D1, D2, D3, and D4 is stored in each of the four storage areas E0, E1, E2, and E3, the storage area E0 is stored. When the operation of changing / stopping the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is completed based on the value D1 of the set of counters stored in the storage area E0, A set of counter values D2 stored in the storage area E1 is overwritten in the storage area E0, a set of counter values D3 stored in the storage area E2 is overwritten in the storage area E1, and stored in the storage area E3. In addition, the counter value D4 of one set is overwritten in the storage area E2, the storage area E3 is emptied, and one hold lamp 71 corresponding to the storage area E3 is turned off. As a result, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), based on the value D2 of one set of counters stored in the storage area E0, the variation of symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is changed. The stop operation is started. At this time, since the storage areas E3 and E4 are empty, if a pachinko ball wins at the start port 69, it is possible to store / hold the value of one set of counters acquired at the time of winning in the storage area E3. Furthermore, if a pachinko ball wins at the start port 69, the value of one set of counters acquired at the time of winning can be stored and held in the storage area E4.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), a set of counter values D2, D3, D4 is stored in each of the three storage areas E0, E1, E2, and stored in the storage area E0. When the operation of changing / stopping the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is completed based on the value D2 of one set of counters, the storage area E0 is emptied and the storage area E1 is stored. The stored set of counter values D3 is overwritten in the storage area E0, the set of counter values D4 stored in the storage area E2 is overwritten in the storage area E1, the storage area E2 is emptied, and the storage area E2 One holding lamp 71 corresponding to is turned off. As a result, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), based on the value D3 of the set of counters stored in the storage area E0, the change / stop of the symbols displayed on the display 60 of the symbol display device 58. The operation starts. At this time, since the storage areas E2, E3, E4 are empty, if a pachinko ball wins at the start port 69, it is possible to store / hold the value of one set of counters acquired at the time of winning in the storage area E2. Furthermore, if a pachinko ball wins at the start opening 69, it is possible to store / hold the value of one set of counters acquired at the time of winning in the storage area E3. Can win, it is also possible to store / hold the value of one set of counters acquired at the time of winning in the storage area E4.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), one set of counters stored in the storage area E0 in a state where one set of counter values D3 and D4 is stored in each of the two storage areas E0 and E1. When the operation of changing / stopping the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is completed based on the value D3, the storage area E0 is emptied and 1 stored in the storage area E1 is stored. The counter value D4 of the set is overwritten in the storage area E0, the storage area E1 is emptied, and one holding lamp 71 corresponding to the storage area E1 is turned off. As a result, as shown in FIG. 21 (e), based on the value D4 of one set of counters stored in the storage area E0, the variation of the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is changed. The stop operation is started. At this time, since the storage areas E1, E2, E3, and E4 are empty, if a pachinko ball wins at the start port 69, the value of one set of counters acquired at the time of winning is stored and held in the storage area E1. Furthermore, if a pachinko ball wins at the start opening 69, it is also possible to store and hold the value of one set of counters acquired at the time of winning in the storage area E2, If a pachinko ball wins, it is possible to store and hold the value of a set of counters acquired at the time of winning in the storage area E3. Further, if a pachinko ball wins at the start port 69, it will be acquired at the time of winning. It is also possible to store and hold the values of the set of counters in the storage area E4.

  However, in the case shown in FIG. 21, when the operation of changing / stopping the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is completed, the operation is stopped in a predetermined combination (shown in FIG. 18). The symbol change / stop operation displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is not when the symbol change / stop operation displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 ends. Immediately after the “big hit gaming state” for the predetermined combination (shown in FIG. 18) is completed, based on the values D1, D2, D3, D4, etc. of one set newly stored in the storage area E0 Be started.

  The operation content of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment described above is executed by processing a flowchart described later on the main board 42 and the like.

  Next, the program executed on the main board 42 in the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. The programs executed on the main board 42 include a main program that operates immediately after the power is turned on and an interrupt program that operates at regular intervals (for example, every 4 msec).

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart of a main program executed on the main board 42. The main program in FIG. 23 operates immediately after the power is turned on. When the power is turned on, first, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1, it is determined whether or not there is a backup recovery process. If it is determined that there is a backup restoration process (S1: YES), the process proceeds to S2, and after performing the process of restoring the backup data, the process proceeds to S3. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no backup restoration process (S1: NO), the process proceeds to S3 without doing anything. In S3, a counter used for determination on the main board 42, such as a symbol counter, a fluctuation pattern counter, a reach counter, a left symbol counter, a middle symbol counter, and a right symbol counter, is counted up. Furthermore, after the initial value change counter is incremented in S4, the process returns to S3, and the above-described count-up processes in S3 and S4 are repeated.

  In this regard, the symbol counter, the fluctuation pattern counter, the initial value change counter, the reach counter, the left symbol counter, the middle symbol counter, the right symbol counter, and the like are secured in the main control RAM 142 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 39, the symbol counter is an arc counter that increments the range of “1” to “12” by “1”, and is displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58. It means “big hit symbol”. Further, as shown in FIG. 42, the left symbol counter, the middle symbol counter, and the right symbol counter are arc counters that increment the range of “1” to “12” every “1”. The combination of values means a combination of symbols other than the “hit symbol” displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58, except for the 12 combinations shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 43, the fluctuation pattern counter is an arc counter that counts up the range of “0” to “19” every “1”. As shown in FIG. 45, the initial value change counter is an arc counter that counts up the range of “1” to “299” every “1”.

  On the other hand, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of an interrupt program executed on the main board 20. The interrupt program shown in FIG. 24 operates at regular intervals (for example, every 4 msec) after the power is turned on, and the required time from start to return is at most a constant time (for example, 4 msec). It will never be exceeded. In the interrupt program of FIG. 24, first, in S11, the big hit counter is counted up. Thereafter, the start winning process in S12, the result notification process in S13, the big hit game process in S14, the initial value change process in the big hit counter in S15, the prize ball payout process in S16, the lost symbol process in S17, and the error process in S18 are performed. Do in order. After the error processing in S18, the main program S3 and S4 in FIG. 23 are repeatedly performed on the main board 42 until this interrupt program is activated next time. The details of the start winning process, the result notification process, the jackpot game process, the initial value change process of the jackpot counter, the winning ball payout process, and the error process will be described later.

  In this respect, the big hit counter is secured in the main control RAM 23 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 44, the big hit counter is an arc counter that counts up the range of “1” to “299” every “1”, and is the same as the initial value change counter of FIG. 45 described above. However, it is ensured separately from the initial value change counter of FIG. 45 described above, and further, it does not take the same value as the initial value change counter of FIG. Here, the meaning of the value of the big hit counter will be explained. When “7” is acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start opening 69, the value of the big hit counter of the “7” is displayed on the symbol display device 58. The three symbols that are changed and stopped on the liquid crystal display 60 are stopped in any one of the twelve predetermined combinations shown in FIG. 18, and the grand prize opening 73 operates in a predetermined opening pattern. It becomes a “hit game state” (hereinafter referred to as “hit”). Further, in the probability change / short time mode state to be described later, any one of “7”, “50”, “100”, “150”, “200”, “250” is awarded when the pachinko ball wins the starting port 5. Also, if you get, it will be a “big hit”. It should be noted that the three symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 shift to the “reach state” shown in FIG. 19, but after that, none of the 12 predetermined combinations shown in FIG. Stopping things and not becoming a “hit game state” is called “hasle reach”. Further, the three symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 do not shift to the “reach state” shown in FIG. 19, and any of the twelve predetermined combinations shown in FIG. Stopping something that is n’t there and never going to “big hit gaming state” is called “complete loss”.

  Next, the start winning process (see FIG. 24) of the interruption program of S12 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 25, first, in S21, it is determined whether or not a pachinko ball has won a prize at the start port 69. This determination is made based on whether or not the start port switch 70 provided in the start port 69 has detected a pachinko ball. Here, when it is determined that the pachinko ball has not won at the starting port 69 (S21: NO), the process returns to the interruption program of FIG. 24, but when it is determined that the pachinko ball has won at the starting port 69 ( In S21: YES, the process proceeds to S22.

  In S22, it is determined whether or not the upper limit of storage, that is, whether or not the storage area E4 (see FIGS. 20 and 21) is empty. If it is determined that the storage area E4 (see FIGS. 20 and 21) is not empty (S22: YES), the process returns to the interrupt program in FIG. 24, but the storage area E4 (see FIGS. 20 and 21). Is determined to be empty (S22: NO), the process proceeds to S23. In S23, the current jackpot counter value and the current symbol counter value are acquired, and as shown in any one of (a) to (f) of FIG. 20, five storage areas E0, E1, After storing the values of one set of counters in any of E2, E3, and E4, the process proceeds to S24.

  In S24, it is determined whether or not there is storage, that is, whether or not a set of counter values is stored in the storage area E0 (see FIGS. 20 and 21). Here, as shown in FIG. 20A, when it is determined that the value of one set of counters is not stored in the storage area E0 (S24: NO), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 20B to 20E, when it is determined that the value of one set of counters is stored in the storage area E0 (S24: YES), the process proceeds to S36.

  In S36, as shown in FIGS. 20 (c) to (f), when one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E1, one holding lamp 71 corresponding to the storage area E1 is turned on. Or, when one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E2, one holding lamp 71 corresponding to the storage area E2 is turned on, and then one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E3. After lighting one holding lamp 71 corresponding to the storage area E3, when one set of counter values was stored in the storage area E4, one holding lamp 71 corresponding to the storage area E4 was turned on. Thereafter, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG.

  Next, the result notification process (see FIG. 24) of the interrupt program of S13 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, first, in S31, it is determined whether or not the three symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 are changing. Here, when it is determined that the three symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 are changing (S31: YES), the process proceeds to S32, and whether the changing time of the symbol has ended. Judge whether or not. If it is determined that the symbol variation time does not end (S32: NO), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 22 without doing anything, but it is determined that the symbol variation time has ended. In such a case (S32: YES), the process proceeds to S33, where an instruction to stop the change in the symbol is transmitted to the display sub-board 40 in FIG.

  In S33, rewriting of storage for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 is performed. For example, at this time, as shown in FIG. 20 (f), when a set of counter values is stored in each of the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, E4, FIG. After passing through (a), as shown in FIG. 21 (b), the storage of the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 is rewritten. At this time, as shown in FIG. 21B, when a set of counter values is stored in each of the four storage areas E0, E1, E2, and E3, the storage area E0 is emptied. Then, as shown in (c) of FIG. 21, the rewriting of the storage for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 is performed.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), when a set of counter values is stored in each of the three storage areas E0, E1, and E2, the storage area E0 is emptied. After that, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), the memory is rewritten for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4. At this time, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), when a pair of counter values are stored in each of the two storage areas E0 and E1, after the storage area E0 is emptied, As shown in (e) of FIG. 21, the rewriting of the storage for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 21 (e), when one set of counter values is stored in one storage area E0, the storage area E0 is emptied and then ( As shown in a), the rewriting of the memory for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, E4 is performed.

In S31, when it is determined that the three symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 are not changing (S31: NO), the process proceeds to S34, that is, whether or not there is a memory. It is determined whether or not one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E0 (see FIGS. 20 and 21). Here, as shown in FIG. 20A, when it is determined that the value of one set of counters is not stored in the storage area E0 (S34: NO), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. As shown in (f) of FIG. 20 and (b) to (e) of FIG. 21, when determining that one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E0 (S34: YES), Proceed to S35.
In S34 described above, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 24 also in the case of the “big hit gaming state”.

  In S35, it is determined whether any one of the hold lamps 71 is lit. If it is determined that all of the hold lamps 71 are not lit (S35: NO), the process proceeds to S37 without doing anything, but it is determined that any one of the hold lamps 71 is lit. If yes (S35: YES), the process proceeds to S36, and the rightmost lamp on the hold lamp 71 that is lit is extinguished.

  That is, at this time, as shown in FIG. 21A, when all of the four holding lamps 71 are lit, as shown in FIG. 21B, it corresponds to the storage area E4. One hold lamp 71 to be turned off is turned off. At this time, as shown in FIG. 21B, when three of the four holding lamps 71 are lit, the storage area E3 is stored as shown in FIG. The corresponding one holding lamp 71 is turned off. At this time, when two of the four holding lamps 71 are lit as shown in FIG. 21C, the storage area E2 is stored as shown in FIG. The corresponding one holding lamp 71 is turned off. At this time, when one of the four holding lamps 71 is lit as shown in FIG. 21D, the storage area E1 is stored in the storage area E1, as shown in FIG. The corresponding one holding lamp 71 is turned off.

  In next S37, it is determined whether or not the value of the big hit counter stored in the current storage area E0 is the big hit value.

Here, the details of the jackpot determination process in S37 will be described with reference to FIG. First, in S51, the value of the big hit counter stored in the current storage area E0 is read. Next, in S52, it is determined whether or not it is in the probability change / short time mode described later. Here, when it is determined that the mode is not in the probability variation / short time mode (S52: NO), the process proceeds to S53, and "7" which is a big hit value in normal time is read. In this regard, “7”, which is a normal big hit value, is read from the big hit counter table shown in FIG. 18 provided in the main control ROM 22. Thereafter, in S54, “7” which is a normal big hit value is subtracted from the value of the big hit counter, and in S55, it is determined whether or not the subtraction result is “0”. Here, when it is determined that the subtraction result is “0” (S55: YES), the process proceeds to S38 in FIG. 26, but when it is determined that the subtraction result is not “0” (S55: NO). ), The process proceeds to S41 of FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the state is the probability variation / short time mode (S52: YES), the process proceeds to S56, and the big hit values in the probability variation / short time mode are "7", "50", "100", "150". ”,“ 200 ”, and“ 250 ”are read. In this respect, “7”, “50”, “100”, “150”, “200”, and “250”, which are the big hit values in the probability variation / short time mode, are the big hit counter table 170 provided in the main control ROM 141. Is read from. FIG. 28 shows a big hit counter table provided in the main control ROM.
Thereafter, in S57, "7", "50", "100", "150", "200", "250", which are the big hit values in the probability variation / short time mode, are subtracted from the big hit counter value, respectively. Then, it is determined whether or not “0” is one of the six subtraction results. Here, when it is determined that one of the six subtraction results is “0” (S58: YES), the process proceeds to S38 in FIG. 26, but all of the six subtraction results are “0”. When it is determined that it is not (S58: NO), the process proceeds to S41 in FIG.

In S38 of FIG. 26, one of 12 sets of “big hit symbols” shown in FIG. 18 is selected as the “final stop symbol” from the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0. Specifically, as described above, as shown in FIG. 39, the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 counts up the range of “1” to “12” every “1”. Therefore, select the “hit symbol” that is the same as the symbol counter value. For example, when the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 corresponds to “5”, “Big hit symbol” of “5” “5” “5” is selected. Of course, when the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 corresponds to “9”, the “hit symbol” of “9”, “9” and “9” is selected. In S39, the value of the current fluctuation pattern counter (see FIG. 43) is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to S40, and the value of the current fluctuation pattern counter (see FIG. 43) and the fluctuation pattern determination table 171 (see FIG. 29). ), The number of the variation pattern is selected, and the process proceeds to S48.
The variation pattern determination table 171 in FIG. 29 will be described in detail later.

  On the other hand, in S41, it is determined whether or not the value of the reach counter acquired at this time is a reach value. In this respect, the reach counter is secured in the main control RAM 142 in FIG. 22 and the like, and as shown in FIG. 40, the range from “1” to “100” is incremented by “1”. It is a going arc counter. Further, the reach value is ensured in the main control RAM 142 of FIG. 22 or the like, and is “7”, “17”, “27”, “37”, “47”, “57”, “67”. , “77”, “87”, “97” are stored (see the reach counter table 174 in FIG. 41). If it is determined that the value of the reach counter is one of the ten reach values (S41: YES), the process proceeds to S42.

  In S42, the “lost reach symbol” stored in the later reach symbol storage area, which will be described later, is set as the “final stop symbol”. In S43, the value of the current variation pattern counter (see FIG. 43) is acquired, and then the process proceeds to S44, where the current variation pattern counter (see FIG. 43) value and the variation pattern determination table in FIG. 29 are used. Then, the variation pattern number is selected, and the process proceeds to S48.

  In S41, when it is determined that the value of the reach counter is not one of the ten reach values (S41: NO), the process proceeds to S45. In S45, the “completely lost symbol” stored in the complete lost symbol storage area described later is set as the “final stop symbol”. In this regard, the “completely lost symbol” refers to anything other than the “big hit symbol” and the “loser reach symbol”. In S46, after acquiring the value of the current fluctuation pattern counter (see FIG. 43), the process proceeds to S47, from the value of the current fluctuation pattern counter (see FIG. 43) and the fluctuation pattern determination table of FIG. Then, the variation pattern number is selected, and the process proceeds to S48.

In S48, information related to the “final stop symbol”, information related to the number of the variation pattern, and information related to the drive pattern of the movable member 27 are transmitted to the display sub-board 40 in FIG.
At this time, in the display sub-board 40, based on the information on the “final stop symbol”, the information on the number of the variation pattern, the information on the drive pattern of the movable member 27, and the effect selection table 172 in FIG. The three symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 are started to change, the display content of the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 is controlled, and the movable member 27 is driven. Furthermore, music, sound effects, and voices according to the generated sound patterns (pattern a to pattern i) associated with the variation pattern are played from the speaker 17. On the other hand, in the lamp control board 39, the lamp lighting pattern associated with the variation pattern based on the information regarding the number of the variation pattern, the information regarding the lighting pattern of the illumination lamps 12, 78A to 81A, and the illumination selection table 173 of FIG. The illumination lamp 80 is turned on according to (Pattern A to Pattern E). Note that the effect selection table 172 in FIG. 30 and the electrical selection table 173 in FIG. 31 will be described in detail later.

  At this time, if the value of the fluctuation pattern counter is “0”, the number of the fluctuation pattern “2” is selected, and if the value of the fluctuation pattern counter is any one of “1” to “5”. The variation pattern number “3” is selected, and if the variation pattern counter value is any of “6” to “12”, the variation pattern number “4” is selected, and the variation pattern counter value is In the case of any one of “13” to “19”, the number of the variation pattern “5” is selected. In addition, the fraction described in the table means the probability at this time.

  “Complete” means that the value of the jackpot counter is the jackpot value (“7” in normal mode, “7”, “50”, “100”, “150”, “200”, And the reach counter value is “7”, “17”, “27”, “37”, “47”, “57”, “67”, “77”, “ This means that neither “87” nor “97”, that is, transition to “completely lost”. Therefore, in S47 of FIG. 4, the value of the big hit counter is the big hit value (“7” in normal time, “7”, “50”, “100”, “150”, “200”, “ And the reach counter value is “7”, “17”, “27”, “37”, “47”, “57”, “67”, “77”, “87”. ”And“ 97 ”(S41: NO), the number of the variation pattern“ 1 ”is selected.

  In this case, however, the fluctuation pattern number “1” is selected regardless of the value of the fluctuation pattern counter “0” to “19”.

  Next, the effect selection table 172 in FIG. 30 will be described. The effect selection table 172 in FIG. 30 is stored in the symbol display control ROM 146 in FIG.

Further, “reach B” means reach B which is a type of “reach video” displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 in the “reach state”. “Reach C” means reach C, which is a type of “reach video” displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 in the “reach state”. “Reach D” means reach D, which is a type of “reach video” displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 in the “reach state”. Further, ““ big hit ”display” means “three big symbols that change on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 are displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 when the“ big hit symbol ”is stopped. It means the word “big hit”. The production / video content of the liquid crystal display 60 is composed of a combination of “completely lost”, “reach A”, “reach B”, “reach C”, “reach D”, “display”. Yes.

Further, “none” in the operation pattern of the movable member 27 means that the operation of the movable member 27 is not performed. Further, “arm + trunk” means that the right arm 110 and the left arm 111 of the movable member 27 are opened / closed by the solenoid 114 and the body 108 is rotated by the drive motor 113.

Further, the “arm” means that the right arm 110 and the left arm 111 of the movable member 27 are opened and closed by the solenoid 114 only.
On the other hand, the generated sound pattern refers to a pattern of music, sound effect, and sound emitted from the speaker 17 in conjunction with the effect / video by the liquid crystal display 60 and the movement of the movable member 27. Nine types of patterns a to i are preset as generated sound patterns and stored in the ROM 146 for symbol display control. The video display process of the liquid crystal display 60 by the display sub-board 40, the sound generation process by the speaker 17, and the operation process of the movable member 27 will be described later based on separate flowcharts (see FIGS. 37 and 38).

  Next, the electrical selection table 173 in FIG. 31 will be described. The electrical decoration selection table 173 in FIG. 31 is stored in the lamp control ROM 151 in FIG.

  Next, the jackpot game process of S14 of FIG. 24 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 32, in the big hit game process of S14 of FIG. 24, in S61, it is determined whether or not the “big hit game state” is in progress. Here, when it is determined that the “big hit gaming state” is in the middle (S61: YES), the process proceeds to S62 to determine whether or not the “big hit gaming state” end condition is satisfied.

  Here, the termination condition of the “big hit gaming state” will be described. The pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment is a first type of pachinko machine, and the “big hit gaming state” means, for example, that ten pachinko balls win a prize winning opening 73 or a predetermined time The grand prize opening 73 is opened until the time has elapsed. At this time, when a pachinko ball wins in the V zone (not shown), the game proceeds to the next round and continues to a maximum of 15 rounds. Therefore, the end condition of the “big hit game state” is that the pachinko ball has not won in the V zone (not shown) while the big winning opening 73 is open, or has been digested up to 15 rounds.

  Then, when it is determined that the end condition of the “hit game state” is not satisfied (S62: NO), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 24, but when it is determined that the end condition of the “hit game state” is satisfied. (S62: YES), the process proceeds to S63, an end screen display command is transmitted to the display sub-board 40, and after the “big hit gaming state” is terminated in S64, the process proceeds to S65. At this time, when receiving the end screen display command, the display sub-board 40 ends the display content displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 during the “big hit gaming state”. In S65, it is determined whether or not the “big hit symbol” is an odd number. Specifically, whether the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 is “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, or “11”. Judge whether or not. Here, when it is determined that the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 is “1” or “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, “11” (S65: YES), the process proceeds to S66, and after substituting “1” indicating the probability change / short-time mode state into the flag secured in the main control RAM 142 of FIG. 22, the interrupt program of FIG. Return to. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 is neither “1” nor “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, “11” (S65: NO), the process proceeds to S67, and after substituting “0” representing the normal state for the flag secured in the main control RAM 142 in FIG. 22, the process returns to the interrupt program in FIG.

That is, here, the probability variation / short time mode state is a state in which there are six jackpot values “7”, “50”, “100”, “150”, “200”, “250” with respect to the value of the jackpot counter. (S56 in FIG. 27), when viewed from the player side, the “big hit symbol” is “1” “1” “1”, “3” “3” “3”, “5” “5” “ Occurs when any of “5”, “7” “7” “7”, “9” “9” “9”, “11” “11” “11”. In addition, the normal state refers to a state in which the jackpot value with respect to the value of the jackpot counter is only “7” (S53 in FIG. 27). From the player side, the “hit symbol” is “2”. “2” “2”, “4” “4” “4”, “6” “6” “6”, “8” “8” “8”, “10” “10” “10”, “12” It occurs when any one of “12” and “12”.
In the initial state, “0” representing the normal state is assigned to the flag secured in the main control RAM 142 of FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the “big hit gaming state” is not in the middle (S61: NO), the process proceeds to S68, and the “big hit symbol” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 to win the big hit. It is determined whether or not it has been notified, that is, whether or not it is immediately after transmitting a command to stop the change of the symbol to the display sub-board 40 of FIG. Here, when it is determined that it is not immediately after the instruction to stop the fluctuation of the symbol is transmitted to the display sub-board 40 (S68: NO), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 24, but the instruction to stop the fluctuation of the symbol is issued. When it is determined that it is immediately after transmission to the display sub-board 40 (S68: YES), the process proceeds to S69, and after starting the “big hit gaming state”, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG.

  Next, the initial value change processing of the big hit counter in S15 of FIG. 24 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 33, in the initial value changing process of the big hit counter in S15, it is first determined in S71 whether or not the big hit counter has made one round. Here, when it is determined that the big hit counter has not made one round (S71: NO), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 24, but when it is determined that the big hit counter has made one round (S71: YES), S72 Then, the current value X1 of the initial value change counter is acquired. Then, in S73, the jackpot counter is set to the value X1, and the process proceeds to S74 so that the jackpot counter can count up with the value X1 as an initial value, and then the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG.

  In this respect, as shown in FIG. 44, the big hit counter is an arc counter that counts up the range of “1” to “299” every “1”. (S71) is determined by whether or not the value of the big hit counter is a value obtained by subtracting "1" from the initial value X1.

  Next, the prize ball payout process in S16 of FIG. 24 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 34, in S81, it is determined whether or not a pachinko ball has been won at the start port 69. If it is determined that the pachinko ball has won at the start port 69 (S81: YES), the process proceeds to S82, and the prize ball sub-board 43 is made to pay out the number of prize balls for winning at the start port 69. After issuing the instruction, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. At this time, the prize ball sub-board 43 delivers a predetermined number of pachinko balls to the upper plate 16 or the lower plate 22 via the prize ball payout device 159. On the other hand, when it is determined that the pachinko ball has not won at the start opening 69 (S81: NO), the process proceeds to S83, where it is determined whether or not the pachinko ball has won the big winning opening 73. Here, when it is determined that the pachinko ball has not won the big winning opening 73 (S83: NO), the process returns to the interruption program of FIG. 24, but when it is determined that the pachinko ball has won the big winning opening 73. (S83: YES), the process proceeds to S84, and after giving a command to the prize ball sub-board 43 to pay out the number of prize balls for winning in the big prize opening 73, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. At this time, the prize ball sub-board 43 delivers a predetermined number of pachinko balls to the upper plate 16 or the lower plate 22 via the prize ball payout device 159.

  Next, the lost symbol process in S17 of FIG. 24 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 35, in S91, it is determined whether or not the value of the left symbol counter and the value of the middle symbol counter are the same. If it is determined that the value of the left symbol counter and the value of the middle symbol counter are the same (S91: YES), the process proceeds to S92, where the value of the middle symbol counter and the value of the right symbol counter are the same. Determine whether or not. In this regard, the left symbol counter, the middle symbol counter, and the right symbol counter are arc counters that increment the range of “1” to “12” every “1”, as shown in FIG.

  If it is determined that the value of the middle symbol counter is the same as the value of the right symbol counter (S92: YES), the program returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 24, but the value of the middle symbol counter and the value of the right symbol counter are the same. Are determined not to be the same (S92: NO), the process proceeds to S93, and the combination of the left symbol counter value, the middle symbol counter value, and the right symbol counter value is defined as the “loser reach symbol”. After overwriting the symbol storage area, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. Specifically, for example, when the value of the left symbol counter is “1”, the value of the middle symbol counter is “1”, and the value of the right symbol counter is “2” (S91: YES, S92: NO), Although “1”, “1”, and “2” are overwritten in the storage area for the lost reach design as “lost reach design” (S93), the value of the left symbol counter is “1” and the value of the middle symbol counter is “1”. If the value of the right symbol counter is “1” (S91: YES, S92: YES), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 24 without doing anything for the lost reach symbol storage area.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the left symbol counter and the value of the middle symbol counter are not the same (S91: NO), the process proceeds to S94, where the value of the left symbol counter, the value of the middle symbol counter, and the value of the right symbol counter 24 is overwritten in the complete lose symbol storage area as “completely lost symbol”, and the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. Specifically, for example, when the value of the left symbol counter is “0”, the value of the middle symbol counter is “1”, and the value of the right symbol counter is “2” (S91: NO), “0” “ "1" and "2" are overwritten in the complete loss symbol storage area as "complete loss symbol" (S94).
The lost reach symbol storage area and the complete lost symbol storage area are secured in the main control RAM 142 of FIG.

Next, the error processing in S18 of FIG. 24 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 36, in S101, a case where an error is detected when the pachinko ball in the prize ball passage 34 cannot be detected, the door detection switch 15 for detecting an error when the protective door 6 is opened forward. Each error information is acquired from the inner detection switch 35, the lower plate detection switch 36 for detecting the prize ball overflow, and the prize ball tank switch 44 for detecting an error when the pachinko ball disappears in the prize ball tank 30.
In S102, the main control CPU 140 determines whether an error has occurred in the pachinko machine 1 from the error information in S101.

If an error has occurred, an error display command is transmitted to the display sub-board 40 and the lamp control board 39 (S103). And it returns to the interruption program of FIG.
Further, when the display sub-board 40 receives an error display command from the main board 42, the display sub-board 40 emits an error sound informing that an error has occurred from the speaker 17, and moves the movable member 27. On the other hand, when the lamp control board 39 receives the error display command, the lamps 12, 78A to 81A are turned on to notify that an error has occurred.

Next, an effect operation program performed on the display sub-board 40 in the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 40, first, in S111, the symbol display control CPU 145 sends a symbol variation start command (S48), a symbol variation stop command (S33), and an error transmitted from the main control CPU 21 of the main board 42. Each information such as a display command (S103) is received.

Subsequently, in S112, based on the instruction of the main board 42 received in S111, it is determined what kind of effect is to be performed on the display sub board 40. Then, the symbol display control CPU 145 displays the symbols and other images read from the symbol display control ROM 146 on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 according to the determination result (S113). Further, in S114, the symbol display control CPU 145 plays specific music, sound effects, and sound read from the symbol display control ROM 146 to the speaker 17 in accordance with the contents instructed from the main board 42 in S111.
Finally, after performing a movable member operation process for operating the movable member 27 in S115, the process ends.

Next, the movable member operation process in S115 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 38, in the movable member operation process, first, in S121, it is determined whether or not the three symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 are changing.

If the symbol is changing (S121: YES), it is determined whether or not to perform an operation effect of the movable part (S122). As described above, whether or not the operation effect of the movable part is performed is determined by determining each value of the big hit counter and the fluctuation pattern counter acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start opening 69 in the main board 42, and for the main control. It is determined based on the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern determination table 171 (see FIG. 29) stored in the ROM 141 (see S37, S40, S44, S47, and FIG. 26).
That is, the display sub-board 40 follows the effect selection table 172 (see FIG. 30) stored in the symbol display control ROM 146 from the variation pattern numbers (“1” to “9”) transmitted from the main control board 42. The movement pattern of the moving object during the design variation is determined.

Then, during the symbol variation of the variation pattern numbers “1”, “5”, “9”, the movable member 27 does not operate (S122: NO) and ends. On the other hand, during the symbol variation of other variation pattern numbers (S122: YES), the determined operation of the movable member 27 is performed (S123). Specifically, during the variation of the symbols of the variation pattern numbers “2” and “6”, the movable member 27 opens and closes the right arm 110 and the left arm 111 by the solenoid 114 and the body 108 is moved by the drive motor 113. Rotate. In addition, the movable member 27 only rotates the body 108 by the drive motor 113 during the variation of the symbols of the variation pattern numbers “3” and “7”. Further, during the variation of the symbols of the variation pattern numbers “4” and “8”, the movable member 27 performs only the opening / closing operation of the right arm 110 and the left arm 111 by the solenoid 114. Since the opening / closing movement of the left arm 111 and the rotational movement of the body 108 by the drive motor 113 can be selected and moved separately, the movement of the movable member 27 can be expressed by a plurality of patterns, and the gaming state can be expressed. Diversification can improve the player's willingness to play.

  Next, when the symbol is not changing (S121: NO), it is determined whether or not the probability change / short time mode is in effect (S124). The probability variation / short time mode is a state in which there are six big hit values “7”, “50”, “100”, “150”, “200”, “250” with respect to the value of the big hit counter as described above ( In S56 in FIG. 27, when viewed from the player side, the “hit symbol” is “1” “1” “1”, “3” “3” “3”, “5” “5” “5”, “ It occurs when any one of “7” “7” “7”, “9” “9” “9”, “11” “11” “11”. Then, when the next big hit is made again, the probability change / short time mode ends. However, the “big hit symbol” at the next big hit is “1” “1” “1”, “3” “3” “3” “5” “5” “5”, “7” “7” “ In the case of any one of “7”, “9” “9” “9”, “11” “11” “11”, the mode is changed to the probability change / time reduction mode.

  In the probability change / short time mode (S124: YES), the movable member 27 opens and closes the right arm 110 and the left arm 111 by the solenoid 114, and the body 108 rotates by the drive motor 113. (S125).

Next, when it is not the probability change / short time mode (S124: NO), it is determined whether or not an error state is present (S126). As described above, when the protective door 6 is opened forward, the pachinko ball in the prize ball passage 34 cannot be detected, or when the prize ball overflows, the pachinko ball is in the prize ball tank 30. It may disappear. Each error is detected by the door detection switch 15, the in-case detection switch 35, the lower plate detection switch 36, and the prize ball tank switch 44, and the detection result is transmitted from the main board 42 (FIG. 36, S103).
During an error (S124: YES), the movable member 27 opens and closes the right arm 110 and the left arm 111 by the solenoid 114, and the body 108 rotates by the drive motor 113. (S127).

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the movable member 27 that is movable according to the gaming state is provided outside the game area 10 of the game board 9, so that the game can be performed while the movable member 27 is provided. A wide gaming area 10 through which the ball passes can be secured. Therefore, the gauge design can be easily performed and the player is not bored by diversifying the flow of the game balls. Further, since the movable member attaching portion 54 to which the movable member 27 is attached is located in the vicinity of the game area 10 in the game board 9, there is almost no movement of the line of sight with respect to the movable member 27 when the player plays. It is possible to play a game while keeping almost the same line of sight. Therefore, the player can concentrate on playing the game.
Further, the movable member 27 is driven by a driving unit 93, which is a mole body 108, a head 109, a right arm 110, a left arm 111, a rotating shaft 116, a driving plate 117, and a driving unit. Since the drive motor 113 and the solenoid 114 are unitized by the drive unit, attachment to and removal from the game board 9 are easy. Furthermore, by providing the wiring hole 95 in the movable member attaching portion 54, the wiring 94 extended from the drive unit 93 of the attached movable member 27 can be passed through the back side of the game board 9, and the wiring 94 can be easily handled. It becomes.
In addition, the movable member 27 is attached to the movable member attaching portion 54 by fitting the fixed portions 101 and 102 into the fixed grooves 91 and 92, so that the movable member 27 can be easily attached to the game board 9. And it can position reliably, and the movable member 27 can always be attached with the correct direction and position. Thereby, when the protective door 6 is closed, the movable member 27 attached to the game board 9 can be reliably guided to the insertion port 87 and disposed in the hollow portion 83.

Further, by operating the movable member 27 while the design of the liquid crystal display 60 is changing (S123), it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation for “big hit” and diversify the gaming state to improve the player's willingness to play. Can do. Further, by moving the movable member 27 during the probability change / short time mode (S125), the gaming state can be diversified and the player's willingness to play can be improved. Further, when an error occurs, the movable member 27 can be moved, so that it is possible to know quickly and reliably that the error has occurred.
Further, the counter value of the variation pattern counter (see FIG. 44) is acquired (S39, S43, S46), and according to the acquired counter value, the variation pattern determination table 171, the effect selection table 172, and the illumination selection table 173, The operation pattern of the movable member 27 is determined, the display content of the liquid crystal display 60 is determined, the music, the sound effect and the sound emitted from the speaker 17 are determined, and the lighting patterns of the illumination lamps 12, 78A to 81A are determined. Determine (S40, S44, S47). Therefore, the movable member 27 can be operated in conjunction with the display content of the liquid crystal display 60, the music, sound effects and sound emitted from the speaker 17, and the lighting patterns of the illumination lamps 12, 78A to 81A. Therefore, the gaming state can be diversified and the player's willingness to play can be improved.

Next, a pachinko machine 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol as the pachinko machine 1 which concerns on the said 1st Embodiment shows the same part as the pachinko machine 1 which concerns on the said 1st Embodiment, or an equivalent part.
The overall configuration and control system configuration of the pachinko machine 1 according to the second embodiment are substantially the same as the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. The control process of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment is substantially the same control process as the control process of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment.
However, the processing performed on the display sub-board 40 is different from that of the first embodiment as described later.

In the first embodiment, the determination as to whether or not to perform the motion effect of the movable portion (S122) is made by determining whether or not the big hit acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start opening 69 on the main board 42 as described above. Each value of the counter and the variation pattern counter is determined based on the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern determination table 171 (see FIG. 29) stored in the main control ROM 141, and the display sub-board 40 is based on the determination. However, the second embodiment is different in that the effect determination is performed on the display sub-board 40.
At that time, the main board 42 transmits only the symbol change instruction and the presentation time to the display sub-board 40, and the display sub-board 40 is operated by the movable member operation counter (see FIG. 49). To determine whether or not and how to produce.

  As shown in FIG. 49, the movable member operation counter is an arc counter that counts up the range of “1” to “100” every “1”. The symbol display control CPU 145 takes a counter value in response to an instruction from the main board 42, and determines the operation of the movable member 27 based on the obtained counter value. For example, if the obtained counter value is “1” to “25”, the movable member 27 is not operated. If it is “26” to “50”, only the opening and closing movements of the right arm 110 and the left arm 111 of the movable member 27 are performed. If “51” to “75”, only the rotational movement of the body 108 of the movable member 27 is performed, and if “76” to “100”, the right arm 110 and the left arm 111 of the movable member 27 are opened and closed, and The body 108 is set to rotate.

  FIG. 39 shows a program executed on the display sub-board 30 of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 39, first, in S131, the symbol display control CPU 145 sends a symbol variation start command (S48), a symbol variation stop command (S33), and an error transmitted from the main control CPU 140 of the main board 42. Each information such as a display command (S103) is received.

  Subsequently, in S132, it is determined what effect is to be performed on the display sub-board 40 based on the instruction of the main board 42 received in S131. Then, the symbol display control CPU 145 displays the symbols and other images read from the symbol display control ROM 146 on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 according to the determination result (S133). Further, in S134, the symbol display control CPU 145 plays the specific music, sound effect, and sound read from the symbol display control ROM 146 to the speaker 17 in accordance with the contents instructed from the main board 42 in S111.

Thereafter, in S135, the movable member operation determination is performed. The movement determination of the movable member is performed based on the counter value of the movable member operation counter (see FIG. 48) when, for example, a “reach effect” command is received from the main board 42 by the big hit counter (see FIG. 45). Whether or not to operate the movable member 27 is determined. Then, based on the determination, it is determined whether or not to perform an operation effect of the movable part (S136). In the case of performing the operation of the movable object (S136: YES), after the specified operation is performed (S137), the process ends. On the other hand, when the operation of the movable member 27 is not performed (S136: NO), the process ends without operating the movable member 27.
The movable part operation determination (S126) may be performed by the movable member operation counter not only at the time of “reach effect” but also at the time of “big hit” or when “probability change / short time mode” occurs.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the second embodiment, the symbol display control CPU 145 determines whether or not the movable member 27 is to be operated by performing the movable member operation determination (S135). Based on the operation of the movable member (S137), the gaming state can be diversified and the player's willingness to play can be improved.

Next, a pachinko machine 1 according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the same code | symbol as the pachinko machine 1 which concerns on the said 1st Embodiment shows the same part as the pachinko machine 1 which concerns on the said 1st Embodiment, or an equivalent part.
The overall configuration and control system configuration of the pachinko machine 1 according to the third embodiment are substantially the same as the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Moreover, the control process of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment is substantially the same as the control process of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment.
However, the processing performed on the display sub-board 40 is different from that of the first embodiment as described later.

In the first embodiment, the determination as to whether or not to perform the motion effect of the movable portion (S122) is made by determining whether or not the big hit acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start opening 69 on the main board 42 as described above. Each value of the counter and the variation pattern counter is determined based on the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern determination table 171 (see FIG. 29) stored in the main control ROM 141, and the display sub-board 40 is based on the determination. However, the third embodiment is different in that the movable member 27 is moved according to the number of symbol fluctuations.
Here, in the third embodiment, the number of symbol fluctuations when the movable member 27 is moved largely includes the number of normal symbol fluctuations and the number of special symbol fluctuations. The normal symbol means a symbol that is changed by a normal symbol display area (not shown) when a pachinko ball passes through the gates 64 and 65. When the normal symbol is stopped in a predetermined display form, Then, a tulip-type accessory provided at the start port 69 is opened. The special symbol refers to the variation symbol that fluctuates in the symbol display areas 61, 62, 63 when a pachinko ball enters the start port 69, and the special symbol is a predetermined display form (see FIG. 18). ), The “big hit state” is set as described above.

FIGS. 40 and 41 are programs executed on the display sub-board 40 of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment for operating the movable part in accordance with the number of symbol variations.
As shown in FIG. 40, first, in S141, the symbol display control CPU 145 determines whether or not a normal symbol variation command is received from the main control CPU 140 of the main board 42.

  Subsequently, in S142, the count of the number of changes of the normal symbol is increased by “+1”. When adding the count of the variation count, first, the count value (a) of the normal symbol variation count counter is read from the symbol display control RAM 147, and the read count value (a) of the variation count counter is incremented by "+1". Then, it is stored again in the symbol display control RAM 147.

In S143, the symbol display control CPU 145 reads the count value (a) of the normal symbol variation count counter and determines whether or not the count value has reached 10. When the count value (a) of the normal symbol variation number counter reaches 10 (S143: YES), the movable member 27 is operated (S144). Further, after the operation of the movable member, “0” is read into the symbol display control RAM 147 as the count value (a) of the normal symbol variation counter (S145).
After that, as other effects, processing such as displaying an image on the liquid crystal display 60 of the symbol display device 58 and playing music, sound effects, and sound through the speaker 17 (S136).

  On the other hand, when the count value (a) of the variation counter does not reach 10 (S143: NO), the operation is terminated after other effects are performed without performing the operation of the movable member 27 (S146).

Further, the flowchart shown in FIG. 41 relates to a program for operating the movable part in accordance with the number of special symbol fluctuations.
The flowchart shown in FIG. 41 basically has the same configuration as the flowchart shown in FIG. 40, and the flowchart shown in FIG. 40 counts the number of fluctuations of normal symbols, and the count value reaches a certain value. While the movable member 27 is sometimes operated, the flowchart shown in FIG. 41 counts the number of special symbol fluctuations, and operates the movable member when the count value reaches a certain value. Therefore, the details of each determination and processing of S151 to S156 are omitted.
Note that the count value (b) of the special symbol variation count counter is stored in the symbol display control RAM 147 together with the count value (a) of the normal symbol variation count counter.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the third embodiment, the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol and the number of fluctuations of the special symbol are counted (S142, S152), and when the number of fluctuations reaches 10 (S143: YES, In S153: YES), since the movable member 27 is moved, the gaming state can be diversified and the player's willingness to play can be improved.

Next, a pachinko machine 1 according to a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the same code | symbol as the pachinko machine 1 which concerns on the said 1st Embodiment shows the same part as the pachinko machine 1 which concerns on the said 1st Embodiment, or an equivalent part.
The overall configuration and control system configuration of the pachinko machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment are substantially the same as the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Moreover, the control process of the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment is substantially the same as the control process of the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment.
However, the configuration of the game board 9 to which the movable member 27 is attached and the movable member attachment portion 54 are different from those of the first embodiment as described later.

  In the first embodiment, the movable board attaching portion 54 is provided on the surface side of the game board 9 and the movable member 27 is attached from the surface side of the game board 9. However, in the fourth embodiment, a game is provided. A movable member attaching portion 54 is provided on the back side of the board 9, and the movable member 27 is configured to be attached from the back side of the game board 9. FIG. 50 is a front view of the game board according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 51 is a front view of the movable member mounting portion according to the fourth embodiment provided on the back side of the game board. 52 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. 51 taken along the game board. 53 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE of FIG.

The game board 9 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment is provided with a movable member 27 attached from the back side of the game board 9 at the center of the upper end outside the game area 10.
As shown in FIG. 51, the movable member mounting portion 54 is composed of fixed grooves 201 and 202 formed in a square shape on both sides of a through hole 200 formed in a circular shape in the game board 9. In addition, screw holes 203 and 204 are formed in substantially central portions of the fixing grooves 201 and 202, respectively.
The fixed groove 201 and the fixed groove 202 have the same shape as the fixed portions 101 and 102 of the movable member 27. By fitting the fixed portions 101 and 102 into the fixed grooves 91 and 92, the movable member 27 is moved to the movable member 27. It is configured to be positioned at the same time as being fixed to the mounting portion 54.

When the movable member 27 is attached to the movable member attachment portion 54, first, the transparent cover 103 in which the drive unit 93 is built is inserted from the back side to the front side of the game board 9 through the insertion hole 200 (see FIG. 50). ). Then, the transparent cover 103 is inserted, the fixing portion 101 is fitted into a fixing groove 202 formed in the same shape as the fixing portion 101, and the fixing portion 201 is formed in the same shape as the fixing portion 102. The movable member 27 is fixed to the movable member mounting portion 54 and positioned.
Further, in this state, the screw holes 96 and 203 are fixed together with screws (not shown), and the screw holes 97 and 204 are fixed together to fix the fixing portions 101 and 102 more securely. It can be fixed to 201 and 202 and can be positioned.
On the other hand, in the fixed state, the transparent cover 103 protrudes from the insertion hole 200 to the front surface side of the game board 9, and the wiring 94 extending from the drive unit 93 is provided in the cover 37 on the back surface of the pachinko machine 1. Connected to a display sub-board 40 (see FIG. 4).

  When the protective door 6 is closed, the movable member 27 attached to the game board 9 is inserted into the insertion port 87 and disposed in the hollow portion 83. The movable member 27 disposed in the hollow portion 83 is visible from the outside via the movable member cover 26.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment, the movable member 27 movable according to the game state is provided outside the game area 10 of the game board 9, so that the game can be performed while the movable member 27 is provided. A wide gaming area 10 through which the ball passes can be secured. Therefore, the gauge design can be easily performed and the player is not bored by diversifying the flow of the game balls. Further, since the movable member attaching portion 54 to which the movable member 27 is attached is located in the vicinity of the game area 10 in the game board 9, there is almost no movement of the line of sight with respect to the movable member 27 when the player plays. It is possible to play a game while keeping almost the same line of sight. Therefore, the player can concentrate on playing the game.
Further, the movable member 27 is driven by a driving unit 93, which is a mole body 108, a head 109, a right arm 110, a left arm 111, a rotating shaft 116, a driving plate 117, and a driving unit. Since the drive motor 113 and the solenoid 114 are unitized by the drive unit, attachment to and removal from the game board 9 are easy. Furthermore, the movable member 27 can be easily attached to the game board 9 because the movable member 27 is attached to the movable member attaching portion 54 by fitting the fixed portions 101, 102 to the fixed grooves 201, 202. And it can position reliably, and the movable member 27 can always be attached with the correct direction and position. Thereby, when the protective door 6 is closed, the movable member 27 attached to the game board 9 can be reliably guided to the insertion port 87 and disposed in the hollow portion 83.
Further, since the movable member attaching portion 54 is provided on the back side of the game board 9 and the movable member 27 is attached from the back side of the game board 9, the movable member attaching portion 54 is driven without being seen from the front side of the game board 9.
