A firing handle 9 for operating a ball launching device (not shown) built in the front door 3 is provided on the front right side of the lower plate 15, and an ashtray 24 is arranged on the left side of the front side of the lower plate 15. ing. The game balls stored in the ball accommodating portion 15a of the lower plate 15 can be taken out from the ball discharge port 21 by sliding the ball discharge lever 20 by hand.

  In the upper left of the upper plate 13, a ball supply port 18 through which game balls including prize balls and rental balls are supplied is arranged. A ball lending button 14 a and a prepaid card return button 14 b are arranged on the upper right wall surface of the upper plate 13. The game balls stored in the ball storage portion 13a of the upper plate 13 flow down to the lower plate 15 through the ball discharge port 19 by operating a discharge button (not shown). In addition, the game ball overflowing from the back side of the ball accommodating portion 13 a of the upper plate 13 also flows down to the lower plate 15 through the ball discharge port 19.

  By the way, the central portion of the game board 7 that is visible through the transparent glass 5 is a game area 7a. A center ornament 12 occupies the center of the game area 7 a and a start chucker 16 is attached to the game board 7 below the center ornament 12. The center decoration 12 is a unit object having a frame structure in which a symbol display device 6 which is a large-screen liquid crystal device is attached to the opening 11, and a gaming ball stage S having a depth is formed on the lower frame portion 12c. Yes. The symbol display device 6 displays an image of a decorative symbol (effect animation, decorative symbol) that produces reach, jackpot, etc. using a moving image or a still image.

  A warp entrance 32 for introducing a game ball into the game ball stage S is provided on the upper portion of the left frame portion 12b of the center ornament 12, and a obstacle nail 28 for restricting the entrance to the warp entrance 32 is a warp entrance 32. It is arranged close to. The game ball that has entered the warp entrance 32 is released to the game ball stage S down the left frame portion 12b.

  Of the game balls released to the game ball stage S, the game balls that have successfully fallen into the higher center ball introduction hole 35a are discharged from the ball discharge hole 35b through the tunnel below the center of the game ball stage S. The However, the remaining game balls are guided by the inclination of the game ball stage S that becomes lower toward the front side, and spill randomly from the edge of the game ball stage S to the game area 7a.

  Since the ball discharge hole 35b is located immediately above the start chucker 16, the probability that a game ball enters the start chucker 16, also known as 100 per course including the ball introduction hole 35a, is extremely high. However, the obstacle nail 36 disposed above the start chucker 16 restricts 100% entry into the start chucker 16 by playing some game balls.

  On the other hand, in the flow path of the game ball that bypasses the center decoration 12, there are a windmill 39 that changes the movement of the game ball, a plurality of winning holes 29 and 30 related to normal payout, and through gates 37a and 37b related to the open / close lottery of the start chucker 16. A large number of obstacle nails 38 and the like that change the flowing direction of the game ball are attached to the game board 7. In addition, an out port 22 is opened below the game area 7a where game balls that have not won a prize flow and are excluded from the game board 7.

  The control system of the pachinko machine 1 includes a main board 130 and a sub board 131, as shown in FIG. The main board 130 is a microcomputer control circuit equipped with an arithmetic element, an arithmetic memory, a read-only memory, and the like, and according to a predetermined processing program, the center ornament 12, the start chucker 16, the winning holes 29 and 30, and the through holes shown in FIG. With reference to inputs from various sensors arranged corresponding to the gates 37a, 37b, etc., necessary calculations and controls are executed to control the pachinko machine 1 to advance the game.

  The main board 130 is a control circuit according to various functions that is virtually realized by the above-described program, that is, a winning determination means 132, a winning signal output means 133, a first lottery means 138a, a second lottery means 138b, and a game control means 136. The holding means 137 and the operation control means 141 are provided.

  The winning determination unit 132 detects a game ball that has entered the start chucker 16 and determines that it is a winning to the start chucker 16. The winning signal output means 133 outputs a winning signal when the winning to the start chucker 16 is determined. The first lottery means 138a obtains a random number in response to the winning signal and performs a lottery with a predetermined probability. The second lottery means 138b further obtains a random number based on the lottery result by the first lottery means, determines a reliability numerical value to be described later, and selects one of a plurality of effect pattern options corresponding to one lottery result. select. The selected option is commanded to the sub-board 131.

  On the other hand, the sub-board 131 is also a microcomputer control circuit equipped with an independent arithmetic element, arithmetic memory, read-only memory, etc., but this is a predetermined effect pattern prepared in advance according to the result determined by the main board 130. Is executed concretely. The effect control means 159 calls an effect program corresponding to the effect pattern options determined on the main board 130, and controls the sound emitting device 8, the effect lighting device 23, the center decoration 12, and the like shown in FIG. The display control means 134 synchronizes with the effect effect by the effect control means 159 and creates image data of a decorative pattern according to a predetermined processing program, and transmits it to the symbol display device 6 to display the decorative pattern.

  The game control means 136 of the main board 130 pays out a predetermined number of game balls to the upper plate 13 through the ball supply port 18 for every ball entered into the start chucker 16, the winning holes 29 and 30, and the attacker 17 shown in FIG. . In addition, when the lottery result by the first lottery means 138a corresponds to a jackpot, a command for executing the jackpot is output.

  The holding means 137 holds the lottery result up to a predetermined number of times for a predetermined image display period by the symbol display device 6 and adjusts the execution of the lottery result and the timing of the production. In response to the jackpot command from the game control means 136, the operation control means 141 operates the attacker opening / closing solenoid 140 in a predetermined pattern, and opens the attacker 17 intermittently, thereby allowing the attacker 17 to enter the ball.

  In addition to the description above, the main board 130 performs lottery every time the game ball passes through the through gates 37a and 37b, and in the case of winning, the start chucker opening / closing solenoid 139 is operated to return to the start chucker 16. Various calculations and controls are executed in accordance with the processing program, such as making it easier to enter the ball.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a player seated facing the pachinko machine 1 grasps the launch handle 9 and rotates it to an appropriate angle, a launch device (not shown) is activated and game balls are continuously launched. Then, it flows into the game area 7 a along the guide rail 10. When the game ball launched into the game area 7a enters the start chucker 16 via the game ball stage S or the like, the winning determination unit 132 determines that the winning is received, and the winning signal output unit 133 outputs the winning signal. Output.

  In response to the winning signal, the first lottery means 138a performs a lottery, and the second lottery means 138b performs another lottery based on the lottery result, and one of the production pattern options prepared in advance for each lottery result is selected. Select. When the jackpot or reach effect pattern is selected, the symbol display device 6 controlled by the sub-board 131 starts the ornament symbol effect. Then, the sub-board 131 includes an effect that operates the dolls F1, F2, and F3 (see FIG. 3) arranged on the center ornament 12 in association with the effect of the decoration pattern, the sound emitting device 8, the effect lighting device 23, and the like. Also controls the effect production. Then, a result that can meet the player's expectation is obtained, such as a big win if the decorative design stops at the big win pattern, and a positive win if the lottery result stops at the positive hit pattern.

<First Embodiment>
3 is an explanatory diagram of the configuration of the center decoration, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the arrangement and driving of the doll, FIG. 5 is a time chart of the effect using the doll, and FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the effect using the doll. . In 1st Embodiment, the doll F1 which is one form of a 1st three-dimensional molded item is stored in the waiting place 42 formed in the upper frame part 12a of the center decoration 12 so that insertion / extraction is possible. Then, the motor control circuits 46 and 47, the drive mechanism 50, the gear motor 56, and the sub board 131, which are one form of the control means, perform predictive motions on the dolls F2 and F3, which are the second three-dimensional objects arranged on the left and right. Subsequently, the doll F1 is pulled out from the waiting place 42 and superimposed on the symbol display device 6, and the doll F1 performs an effect of stopping the variation of the symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a symbol display device 6 that produces a decorative symbol using a large-screen liquid crystal device is attached to the opening 11 formed by the frame structure of the center ornament 12. On the left frame portion 12b and the right frame portion 12d that project to the back side and surround the center ornament 12, dolls F2 and F3 shaped like symbolic images (so-called characters) of the characters of the animation work are arranged, respectively. A KEMURI three-dimensional model 45 is arranged from the back of F3 upward.

  The three-dimensional model 45 is formed in a chemi-like shape by providing irregularities on a milky white resin that scatters and transmits incident light, and illumination and color of each part can be changed by a large number of LED light sources (not shown) arranged inside. is there. When the sub-board 131 (see FIG. 2) controls these light sources, the three-dimensional model 45 changes the overall illumination pattern and illumination color in accordance with the progress of the game and the effect of the decorative design.

  On the upper part of the center ornament 12, there is provided a projecting portion 41 in which a standby place 42 is formed in a closed manner, and the standby place 42 plays a role of stopping the fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display device 6. Is supported to be movable up and down.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion 41 of the center ornament 12 is located on the back side of the game board 7, and cannot be seen from the player side. A slide bearing (not shown) is disposed between the back side of the doll F1 and the inner wall of the standby place 42, and supports the doll F1 with respect to the center ornament 12 so as to be movable up and down.

  The driving mechanism 50 that drives the doll F1 includes a gear motor 51 that drives the motor gear 52 by forward and reverse rotations that are decelerated. A rack gear 43 is fixed to the back of the doll F1, and a pinion gear 54 that meshes with the rack gear 43 is an intermediate gear 53. The motor gear 52 is communicated via Accordingly, when the gear motor 51 is rotated in the forward / reverse direction, the doll F1 is raised / lowered.

  The upper limit of the doll F1 is detected by the sensor 48a, and the lower limit of the doll F1 is detected by the sensor 48b. When instructed to move the doll F1 up and down from the sub-board 131, the motor control circuit 46 refers to the outputs of the sensors 48a and 48b and turns on / off the power supply to the gear motor 51 in both forward and reverse directions.

  The doll F2 rotatably holds a swing shaft 57 that is bent halfway, and the swing shaft 57 is connected to a gear motor 56 that outputs a reduced rotational output of one rotation per second. Therefore, when the gear motor 56 is operated, the doll F2 performs a shave movement. When instructed to swing the doll F1 from the sub-board 131, the motor control circuit 47 operates the gear motor 56 for several seconds to swing the doll F2 and then return it to its original position and stop it. Note that the doll F3 arranged at a position facing the doll F2 of the center ornament 12 is also supported by the same mechanism as the doll F2 so as to be swingable, driven, controlled, and shave.

  As shown in the time chart of FIG. 5 with reference to FIG. 4, before the start of the game, the symbol display device 6 receives the video signal from the sub-board 131 and displays the decorative symbol of the standby effect. When the player starts the game, the sub board 131 displays the decoration pattern of the normal performance, and when the game ball enters the start chucker 16 (FIG. 1) at times t1 and t2, the sub board 131 has the decoration pattern. Execute a ball direction effect that flows in one direction. However, if you are out of reach production lottery, you will return to normal production shortly thereafter. Here, in order to explain the relationship between the entry and the production in an easy-to-understand manner, it is assumed that the holding ball is 0 (the function that holds up to four lottery results and digests the production in order).

  However, when a game ball enters the start chucker 16 (FIG. 1) at time t3 (in the reach effect lottery), the reach effect is such that two rows of symbols stop at the same pattern and the remaining one row flows in one direction. Be started. And the moment when it seems that the last one row that was flowing stops and the pattern does not match, and the reach production is finished, again, the so-called development reach production where the second row of the design stops and the remaining one row flows in one direction Has started.

  During such a reach production, the sub-board 131 swings the doll F2 in a predictive manner after displaying a moving image 6a for predicting the sign on the symbol display device 6, as shown in FIG. 6B. Let Then, as shown in FIG. 6C, the doll F1 is pulled down from the waiting place 42 and superimposed on the symbol display device 6 near the end of the reach production at the timing, and the appearance of the doll F2 is dramatically improved. The moving image 6b to be displayed is displayed. Then, with the doll F2 superimposed on the symbol display device 6, the symbol display device 6 displays a moving image (see FIG. 7) in which one row of symbols that the doll F2 flows in one direction is stopped and a jackpot pattern is assigned. Display.

  In the first embodiment, when the player enters the start chucker 16 and the main board 130 draws the reach production pattern, and the reach production with the jackpot reliability of 80% or more is won, the sub board 131 is selected. Performs an effect using the doll F1 and the doll F2 as part of the reach effect, and otherwise does not perform an effect using the doll F1 and the doll F2. In addition, the reliability is a lottery to give a variation in the reach production by the decorative design, and to give the player a certain tendency to the production progress and return, but to prevent the player from being confident in the return It is a dispersion index. The reliability is selected when the reach effect is determined by the second lottery means 138b of the main board 130 shown in FIG. 2, and the reach effect up to that point is varied even with the stop pattern of the same symbol.

  Therefore, when the doll F2 swings, the player is expected to see the doll F1 appearing. After that, when the awaited doll F1 appears, the player feels like having a big hit. Although the result is generally as expected, since the reliability is 80%, it may be lost even if the doll F1 appears.

  According to the first embodiment, since the player is looking forward to the appearance of the doll F2, the appearance is not disturbing or annoying, and is welcomed with joy and joy. And not the third-party TV image through the flat symbol display device 6, but the messages of the game progress and the lottery result are warmed through the realistic third-party three-dimensional dolls F1, F2, and F3. Can receive. And since a player pays attention to the doll F1 which appears through a sign and thinks about the meaning and keeps it in memory, the learning effect on the production is high, and the meaning can be understood without misunderstanding.

  In addition, since the dolls F1, F2, and F3 are operated in conjunction with the decorative pattern production by the design display device 6 and perform the production according to the decorative pattern change pattern and return pattern, the reach production on the pachinko machine 1 is unified. The game becomes more harmonious and the player can enjoy a stronger sense of unity with the game. And, at the stage of the reach where the player's gaming motivation is excited, the player is encouraged through the production by the dolls F1, F2, and F3 to further boost the gaming motivation. The fun of the game can be increased.

  The dolls F1, F2, and F3 are formed in the appearance of symbolic images (so-called characters) having unique personalities, properties, and action patterns, so that they are not just mechanical parts, lottery symbols, and numbers, but games It is part of the decoration of the board, it is also a decorative member that works as a whole, and it is also a kind of friend who encourages the lottery results together with joy. Therefore, starting from a favorable first-come-first-served feeling through the animation work, as the game progresses, the symbolic image becomes more strongly linked to the impression and belief of the game board, and other models that emphasize the personality of the pachinko machine 1 Can be easily distinguished, and the player's palatability can be more strongly met.

  In addition, since the symbol display device 6, the game ball stage S, the dolls F1, F2, and F3 and their driving mechanism are combined into one part called a center ornament 12, wiring and assembly are easier than in the case where they are made up of separate parts. Therefore, the accuracy of component mounting and the positioning accuracy of control can be pursued at the component level of the center decoration 12, and can be realized with high reproducibility, reliability, high yield, high accuracy and low cost.

Second Embodiment
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of the configuration of the center decoration according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of an effect state using a doll. In the second embodiment, a doll F5, which plays a role of stopping the variation of the symbol, is arranged so as to be able to be put in and out of the center ornament 62 arranged by replacing the center ornament 12 of the first embodiment. Further, the start chucker 16 and the attacker 17 of the first embodiment are replaced with a hook-shaped accessory F6, and the hook-shaped accessory F6 is swung to predict the appearance of the doll F5.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the saddle-like accessory F6 is supported so as to be rotatable about a shaft 66 and is swung by a drive mechanism (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 7. The saddle-shaped accessory F6 is formed as the same symbolic image as the dolls F2 and F3 of the first embodiment, and is a single prize-winning accessory that also serves as a start chucker and an attacker. The saddle-like accessory F6 has a start chucker portion 67 for opening a part of a game ball rolling and moving on the stage S at the uppermost surface, and an openable / closable attacker portion 68 provided on the left and right shoulders. When a game ball enters the start chucker portion 67 from the stage S, a lottery is performed, and when the big win is won, the closed attack portion 68 is released through a predetermined reach production, and the game ball is sent to the attacker portion 68. Can enter the ball.

  The doll F5 is supported so as to be pivotable to the left and right around the central axis 65. When the doll F5 is pivoted to the right, the doll F5 is stored in a standby place 69 formed in the right frame portion of the center ornament 62 and is viewed from the player side. I can't see. The three-dimensional modeling 63, 64 of Kemuri is molded into a Kemri shape with unevenness on a milky white resin that scatters and transmits incident light, and the illumination and illumination color of each part are provided by a number of LED light sources (not shown) arranged inside. It is possible to change. Kemuri's three-dimensional modeling 63, 64 changes the overall illumination pattern and illumination color in accordance with the progress of the game and the production of decorative designs. A fixed doll F7 is attached on the three-dimensional model 64.

  In the center ornament 62 of the second embodiment configured as described above, the hook-shaped accessory F6 that is normally stopped at the center as shown in FIG. Oscillation is started around the axis 66 to predict the appearance of the doll F5.
