It is decorated.

  Next, the control system of the pachinko machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. That is, the present control system includes a main board 41 and a sub board 42 connected to the main board 41. The main board 41 manages the entire operation of the pachinko machine 1 in an integrated manner, and includes a system program for managing the entire operation of the pachinko machine 1 and a semiconductor memory in which a game execution program is stored in advance. A storage unit (not shown) and a microprocessor (MPU) (not shown) that executes these programs are provided.

  The main board 41 includes a winning determination unit 31, a winning signal output unit 32, a first lottery unit 33, a second lottery unit 34, a game control unit 35, a holding unit 36, an operation control unit 37, an operation determination unit 38, and an operation determination. Means 39 are provided. In addition, a start chucker opening / closing solenoid 45 and an attacker opening / closing solenoid 40 are connected to the main board 41.

  When the game ball launched into the game area 7a by a launching device (not shown) that is operated by operating the launch handle 9 wins any of the starting chucker 10, the winning slot 15, and the attacker 11, It is determined that the prize has been won.

  The winning signal output means 32 outputs a winning signal indicating that winning has been made to the corresponding starter chucker 10, winning opening 15, and attacker 11 when winning determination is determined by the winning determination means 31.

  When the winning signal is input from the winning signal output means 32, the first lottery means 33 is an advantageous addition that is advantageous to the player until the next jackpot is won with the winning with less than the maximum number of reserved balls (for example, four) Obtain a winning random number from a lottery memory (not shown) so that one of the probability fluctuations that can give value is won and the normal hit that does not become the special state. Run a lottery.

  The second lottery means 34 is a lottery based on a random number of effects stored in an effect memory (not shown) in the case of winning a big hit lottery in the first lottery means 33. The variation pattern that the symbols such as “111”, “333”, and “777” are finally aligned on the jackpot valid line is determined, and the variation pattern command to that effect is output. The “big hit effective line” means a position (line) where symbols should be arranged in a row in order to obtain a big hit. The second lottery means 34 is also a lottery based on the production random number value in the case of the big hit lottery in the first lottery means 33, and “222”, “444” A variation pattern indicating that symbols such as “888” are finally aligned on the jackpot valid line is determined, and this variation pattern command is output. The second lottery means 34 is also a lottery based on the production random number value when the big lottery lottery in the first lottery means 33 is missed, and “252”, “464”, “838”, etc. The variation pattern that the symbols are finally aligned on the jackpot active line is determined, and this variation pattern command is output.

  The game control means 35 displays a signal relating to the contents of the effect to be displayed on the image display device 47 in accordance with the preset effect data and the lottery result in the second lottery means 34 together with the control command. 44.

  The holding unit 36 sequentially stores the variation pattern command output from the second lottery unit 34 as a holding ball that is a result of the lottery performed each time the winning is made to the starting chucker 10. The storage state is lit and displayed as, for example, a maximum of four reserved balls on a reserved ball display unit (not shown) provided in the image display device 47. For example, the holding means 36 always determines whether or not the number H of held balls is 0 <H <5. While the number H of four held balls is displayed, it is a big hit regardless of winning the starting chucker 10. There will be no lottery. Note that the number of reserved balls that are lit and displayed as the reserved balls is not limited to the “maximum of four”, and may be set as appropriate, for example, three or less or five or more.

  Then, the holding unit 36 sequentially transmits the fluctuation pattern commands held (stored) to the display control unit 44, and does not transmit the next fluctuation pattern command until the effect display based on the transmitted fluctuation pattern commands is completed. To set (turn on) a symbol variation prohibition flag to set the symbol variation prohibition flag to be set, and set a symbol variation timer (not shown) for measuring the time to release the turned on symbol variation prohibition flag. In response, the number of reserved balls is decremented by one. Further, the holding means 36 indicates the result of the jackpot lottery in response to the winning to the starting chucker 10 performed by the first lottery means 33 when the number H of held balls becomes H <4 according to the consumption of the reserved balls. And the number of reserved balls is incremented by one.

  The operation control unit 37 sends a drive signal to the start chucker opening / closing solenoid 45 based on a signal indicating the start of operation of the operation determination unit 39 to operate the solenoid 45 to open or close the start chucker 10. Further, the operation control means 37 sends a drive signal to the attacker opening / closing solenoid 40 to actuate the solenoid 41, and when the jackpot is generated by the lottery in the first lottery means 33, the attacker 11 is released and the predetermined number of winnings is finished (or Control is performed so that the closing operation is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined round) every time a predetermined time elapses).

  The operation determination unit 38 determines whether or not a condition for operating the starter chuck opening / closing solenoid 45 and the attacker opening / closing solenoid 40 is satisfied. That is, in the starter chucker opening / closing solenoid 45, the time when the “opening / closing” of the starter chucker 10 “satisfies” is a case where the main board 41 is won by a lottery performed separately from the big lottery of the first lottery means 33. . In the attacker opening / closing solenoid 40, when the “conditions” for opening the attacker 11 are met, three big symbols from the state of so-called reach (including so-called super reach and normal reach) are aligned on the jackpot effective line and the jackpot is hit. This is a case where the occurrence occurs, and the time when the condition of the blocking of the attacker 11 is satisfied is when all winnings at the time of occurrence of the jackpot are completed.

  In response to the determination signal from the operation determination unit 38, the operation determination unit 39 determines the start of operation of the starter chuck opening / closing solenoid 45 and the attacker opening / closing solenoid 40, respectively.

  The start chucker opening / closing solenoid 45 opens and closes the starter chucker 10 by moving a plunger (not shown) forward and backward in response to a drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 37.

  The attacker opening / closing solenoid 40 opens and closes the attacker 11 by moving a plunger (not shown) forward and backward in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 37.

  On the other hand, the sub board 42 includes an effect control means 43, a display control means 44, and an operation control means 56. The sub board 42 includes a sound emitting device 8, an effect lighting device 23, an image display device 47, A crone rotation motor 57, a figure drive motor 58, and a ball entry detection sensor 61 are connected.

  The effect control means 43 drives the sound emitting device 8 and the effect lighting device 23 in a timely manner according to the signal supplied from the microprocessor in the main board 41, and performs an effect display appealing to the player's hearing and vision.

  The display control means 44 drives the image display device 47 in accordance with the signal relating to the contents of the effect transmitted from the game control means 35, and displays the effect so as to appeal the player's vision to the result of the big hit lottery.

  The operation control means 56 drives the croon rotary motor 57 to rotate in one direction from the time when the main power supply of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and moves the croon member 19 of the sorting device D in a counterclockwise direction in FIG. Control to rotate continuously at low speed. Further, the operation control means 56 causes the figure F to perform a preset effect operation when detecting the entrance of the clune member 19 into the ball receiving portion 19a based on the detection signal of the entrance detection sensor 61. The figure display motor 47 is operated, and the image display device 47 is controlled to display a specific effect image different from the effect performed by the control of the first display control means 44.

  As described above, the sound emitting device 8, the effect lighting device 23, and the image display device 47 respond to the respective controls, such as sound effects, light effects, image effects, etc. Perform specific productions.

  The cruising rotary motor 57 is driven to rotate in one direction in response to the control of the operation control means 56 from the time when the main power supply of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and the cruising member 19 of the sorting device D is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. Rotate continuously at a constant low speed.

  The figure drive motor 58 is operated so as to cause the figure F to perform a preset effect operation under the control of the operation control means 56. Examples of the production operation include turning the figure F at a certain angle in the one direction and the other direction on the spot, and tilting the figure F at a certain angle in the front-rear direction.

  The incoming ball detection sensor 61 detects a game ball that has entered the ball receiving portion 19 a of the crew member 19 and transmits a detection signal to the operation control means 56.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  That is, when the main power supply of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the cruising rotary motor 57 starts to rotate in one direction under the control of the operation control means 56, and the cruising member 19 of the sorting device D moves in the counterclockwise direction of FIG. And continuously rotated at a constant low speed.

  In the above state, when a player seated facing the pachinko machine 1 holds the firing handle 9 and rotates it to an appropriate angle (step S1), the game ball is predetermined by the operation of the launching device (not shown). Are fired continuously toward the game area 7a at time intervals of. Then, a large number of game balls that are launched into the game area 7a and rolling and falling win the timely at the starting chucker 10 and the winning hole 15, or roll and fall without contributing to these, and the bottom of the game area 7a Is discharged from the out port 12 to the back side of the game board 7.

  Then, when winning in either the starting chucker 10 or the winning opening 15, the winning determination means 31 determines the winning and the winning signal output means 32 outputs a winning signal (step S2). At this time, the holding means 36 always determines whether or not the holding ball H is 0 <H <5. When it is determined that 0 <H <5 is satisfied, the holding variation pattern command is The information is sequentially transmitted to the display control means 44 via the game control means 35, the symbol variation prohibition flag is turned on, the symbol variation timer is set, and the number of reserved balls is decremented by 1 in response to the transmission of the variation pattern command. The holding means 36 holds the result of the big hit lottery according to the winning to the starting chucker 10 performed by the first lottery means 33 when the number H of held balls becomes H <4 according to the consumption of the reserved balls. Remember as a sphere and increment the number of balls held by 1

  Then, when winning in the jackpot lottery (step S3), when the first lottery means 33 turns on the winning flag, the second lottery means 34 performs the lottery in the lottery based on the effect random number stored in the effect memory. That is, the variation pattern corresponding to the probability variation or the normal variation is determined.

  Thereby, in step S4, the winning symbol to be displayed on the image display device 47 is set, and the second lottery means 34 outputs the variation pattern command to that effect and the effect display based on the variation pattern command is ended. Until the next variation pattern command is not sent, the symbol variation prohibition flag is turned on, the symbol variation timer for measuring the time to release the turned on symbol variation prohibition flag is set, and the variation pattern command is set. The number of reserved balls is decremented by 1 in response to the transmission of. On the other hand, when the winning is a lottery lottery, a variation pattern is determined in which lottery based on a random number value stored in the effect memory results in the final matching of symbols corresponding to the loss as a result of the variation. Thereby, the off symbol displayed on the image display device 47 is set, and the second lottery means 34 outputs a variation pattern command to that effect, turns on the symbol variation prohibition flag, sets the symbol variation timer, The number of held balls is decremented by 1 in response to the transmission of the fluctuation pattern command.

  As described above, based on the fact that the game control means 35 transmits a signal relating to the contents of effects to be displayed on the image display device 47 to the display control means 44 of the sub-board 42 together with the control command, the display control means 44 The display device 47 is driven in a timely manner, and the contents related to the jackpot lottery result are displayed so as to appeal to the player's vision (step S5).

  Then, when the lottery result in the first lottery means 33 appears on the screen of the image display device 47, the operation control means 37 opens and closes the attacker at a predetermined timing based on the signal indicating the operation start decision of the operation decision means 39. A drive signal is sent to the solenoid 40 to activate the solenoid 40 to release the attacker 11, and the operation of closing every time a predetermined number of winnings are completed (or a predetermined time elapses) is repeated a predetermined number of times (predetermined rounds). . As a result, a large amount of game balls corresponding to the game balls won in the attacker 11 are paid out from the ball supply port 18 to the dish unit 13 (step S6).

  When a part of the game ball Ba launched into the game area 7a is introduced from the warp introduction port 17 and released onto the game ball stage S from the ball discharge port 48a during the series of games described above, the counterclockwise direction in FIG. Of the ball receiving portions 19a to 19e of the clown member 19 rotating at a low speed in the direction, the game ball enters the ball receiving portion that has moved to a position facing the ball discharge port 48a when the game ball is released. Become.

  At that time, when the part that entered the ball is any of the ball receiving portions 19b to 19e other than the ball receiving portion 19a, the game ball is rotated and moved in accordance with the rotation of the crune member 19 while holding the game ball, and the right side of the game ball stage S The game balls are sent out onto the stage S by centrifugal force when facing the direction, so that they are dropped from the game ball stage S or placed into the ball introduction port 55. On the other hand, when the part that entered the ball is the ball receiving portion 19a, the game detecting ball 61 detects the game ball that has entered the ball receiving portion 19a, and the crune member 19 holds the game ball. When the game ball rotates and moves to the right of the game ball stage S, the game ball is sent out onto the stage S by centrifugal force, dropped from the game ball stage S, or distributed so as to enter the ball introduction port 55.

  In these cases, the game ball dropped from the game ball stage S is discharged from the out port 12 without being involved in the start chuck 10 as it is, or a so-called jump nail (not shown) driven into the left and right of the start chuck 10 or the like. The starter chucker 10 and the winning opening 15 are won by being played by road nails (not shown) arranged in the left-right direction from the jump nails. In addition, the game ball introduced into the ball introduction port 55 wins the starting chucker 10 with a probability of approximately 100%.
