Description

  The present invention relates to gaming machines represented by pachinko machines and slot machines.

  In recent years, game machines such as pachinko machines have been mainly used in liquid crystal display devices in order to improve the fun of games. Each company is competing to determine how to change the image displayed on the liquid crystal display device to satisfy the player. Therefore, various ideas can be applied to the image displayed on the liquid crystal display device. Has been made. Generally, in this liquid crystal display device, a variable display game is performed, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

  In the variable display game, for example, three symbols are displayed horizontally or vertically in the effective display area, or nine symbols or the like in a 3 × 3 cell, and the displayed symbols are scrolled based on predetermined game conditions. To change the display. And when the scroll of the symbols, etc. stops (at the predetermined stop position), if the stop symbols, etc. are in a predetermined combination, a big hit is generated, and the big prize opening is opened under predetermined conditions, In the meantime, it is made easy for a ball that has been driven into the game area to win a big prize opening. For this reason, the player plays the game while expecting the occurrence of the jackpot, so the interest of the game can be improved by giving notice (suggestion) of the occurrence of the jackpot.

However, the jackpot notice is performed using a device that performs variable display or a device that is different from the device that performs variable display. There is a problem that entertainment cannot be given to players.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can further enhance the interest of the game.

  In order to achieve this object, the gaming machine according to claim 1 gives a specific game value to a player when the first condition is satisfied, and is predetermined when the specific game value is given. An operation means for performing an action, and an anomaly action executing means for causing the action means to operate in an anomaly mode different from a predetermined action performed when the specific game value is given when the second condition is satisfied. I have.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, the operation means for performing a predetermined operation when the first condition is satisfied and the player is given a specific game value, the specific game value when the second condition is satisfied. It is configured to operate in an irregular manner different from the predetermined operation performed when is given. That is, there is an effect that it is possible to further improve the interest of the game by irregularly operating the operation means related to the provision of the game value.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, a pachinko machine that is a kind of a ball game machine, in particular, a first type pachinko game machine will be described as an example of the game machine. Note that it is naturally possible to use the present invention for the third kind pachinko gaming machine and other gaming machines.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a game board of the pachinko machine P according to the first embodiment. Around the game board 1, there are provided a plurality of winning holes 2 through which five to fifteen balls are paid out when a ball wins. In the center of the game board 1, a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply referred to as “LCD”) 3 for displaying symbols as a plurality of types of identification information is provided. The display screen of the LCD 3 is divided into three in the horizontal direction. In each of the three divided display areas, the symbols are displayed in a variable manner while scrolling in the vertical direction from top to bottom.

  Above the LCD 3, a normal symbol display device 6 composed of two LEDs 6 a and 6 b with normal symbols “O” and “X” displayed on the surface is disposed. In this normal symbol display device 6, when the ball that has been driven into the game area passes through the gates 7 disposed on both sides of the LCD 3, the variation in which the LEDs 6 a and 6 b of “◯” and “×” are alternately lit. Display is performed. When the change display is terminated with the “◯” LED 6a, the ordinary electric accessory 4 is released for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds).

  Further, a starting port (first type starting port, ordinary electric accessory) 4 is provided below the LCD 3, and whether or not to generate a big hit based on the timing when the ball wins the starting port 4 is determined. The lottery is performed, and the contents of the effect for notifying the player of the lottery result are determined.

  Here, the pachinko machine P of the first embodiment notifies the player of the success or failure in a plurality of modes by a plurality of devices when a ball wins the starting port 4. That is, either an effect of displaying the symbols displayed on the LCD 3 (variable display effect) or an effect of vibrating the big prize opening / closing plate 51 for opening / closing the special prize opening 5 (large prize opening effect). This effect is executed to notify the player of the success or failure. When a variable display effect is executed as an effect to notify the success / failure (actual result), the display result after the change coincides with one of the predetermined symbol combinations as in the case of a conventional pachinko machine, and stops. It will be a big hit. On the other hand, when the big prize opening effect is executed as the success / failure effect, the change display of the symbol is not executed on the LCD 3, and the big winning opening 5 is opened and stopped after the big winning opening / closing plate 51 is vibrated. A big hit. Therefore, the game player can be provided with a new gameability in which the jackpot grant is determined based on a result different from the display result of the LCD 3.

  The big prize opening 5 is provided below the start opening 4. The big winning opening 5 is a winning opening that is opened for a predetermined time (for example, until 30 seconds have passed or ten balls have been won) so that the ball is likely to win when a big hit occurs. The special winning opening 5 is formed by a substantially rectangular opening formed in the game board 1 and is normally closed by a special winning opening opening / closing plate 51 formed along the opening of the special winning opening 5. It is in a state. In addition, description of the member which opens and closes the big winning opening 5 including the big winning opening and closing plate 51 will be described later.

  A V zone 5a is provided in the big prize opening 5, and when the ball passes through the V zone 5a while the big prize opening 5 is opened, a continuation right is established, and after the big prize opening 5 is closed. Again, the big prize opening 5 is opened for a predetermined time (or until a predetermined number of balls win the specific prize opening 5). The opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 5 can be repeated up to 16 times (16 rounds), and the state where the opening / closing operation can be performed is a state in which a so-called specific game value is given (special game state). is there.

  Note that a state in which a specific game value is given (special game state) in the type 3 pachinko gaming machine is specified when the display result after the fluctuation of the LCD 3 matches one of the predetermined symbol combinations. It means that the winning opening is opened for a predetermined time. If the ball wins into the specific winning opening while the specific winning opening is opened, a large winning opening provided separately from the specific winning opening is opened a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the structure of the member which opens and closes the special winning opening 5 will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a cross section of the pachinko machine P taken along line II-II in FIG. 1, and FIG. 2 (a) shows a state where the special prize opening 5 is closed. 2B shows a state in which the big prize opening / closing plate 51 is slightly moved with respect to the state in FIG. 2A, and FIG. 2C shows a state in which the big prize opening 5 is opened. Is shown. In FIG. 2, only main members related to the opening / closing of the prize winning opening 5 are shown, and other members are omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the game board 1 formed substantially vertically is provided with a special prize opening 5, and a special prize opening opening / closing plate 51 is disposed so as to close the special prize opening 5. Has been. On the front surface 1 a side of the game board 1, a glass plate 52 is provided so as to face the game board 1, and a ball is formed between the prize winning opening / closing plate 51 and the game board 1 and the glass plate 52. It comes to fall.

  The special winning opening opening / closing plate 51 is formed in a thin plate disposed substantially parallel to the game board 1 and has an outer shape substantially the same as the size of the opening of the special winning opening 5. A support shaft 51a is projected from both ends of the big prize opening / closing plate 51 in the left-right direction when viewed from the front. The game board 1 is supported to be swingable. Below the support shaft 51a, there is provided a columnar operating shaft 51b projecting substantially in parallel with the support shaft 51a. The operating shaft 51b is a solenoid (which is driven in accordance with a current supply state). It is engaged with the arm 41a of the (large winning opening solenoid) 41. In addition, the front face of the special prize opening opening / closing plate 51 is disposed farther from the glass plate 52 than the front face 1 a of the game board 1.

  The special prize opening solenoid 41 is a member that opens and closes the special prize opening opening / closing plate 51, and is configured by a general electromagnetic solenoid. The large winning opening solenoid 41 includes a main body 41b fixed to the game board 1 and an arm 41a supported so as to be slidable relative to the main body 41b. An operating shaft 51b of the mouth opening / closing plate 51 is sandwiched. When the special winning opening solenoid 41 is not energized, the arm 41a is biased in a direction protruding outward from the main body 41b by the action of a spring built in the main body 41b. In the state where the arm 41a protrudes to the maximum, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the big prize opening / closing plate 51 is arranged at a position where the big prize opening 5 is closed. When the special winning opening solenoid 41 is energized and driven, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), the arm 41a is drawn into the main body 41b, and the special winning opening opening / closing plate 51 is played around the support shaft 51a. The panel 1 is tilted toward the front surface 1a side (the left side in FIG. 2C). When the big hit occurs, the big prize opening solenoid 41 is energized for a predetermined time to be in the state shown in FIG. 2C, and the ball that has dropped to the front of the big prize opening 5 is placed on the big winning opening by the one side of the big prize opening / closing plate 51. 5 so that the ball can be awarded to the big prize opening 5.

  The special winning opening vibration motor 42 is a motor for causing the special winning opening opening / closing plate 51 to vibrate along the front-rear direction of the game board 1 (the left-right direction in FIG. 2A). The special winning opening vibration motor 42 is connected to a cam 53 having a substantially triangular shape in a side view provided in contact with the upper portion of the special winning opening / closing plate 51 through a gear (not shown). When a current is passed through the special winning opening vibration motor 42, the cam 53 is driven via a gear (not shown). The central portion of the cam 53 is pivotally supported by the game board 1, and when the cam 53 is rotated in the clockwise direction in FIG. It is finely moved while being pushed by one end of 53, and is gradually tilted to the front surface 1a side (the left side of FIG. 2 (a)) of the game board 1.

  When one end of the cam 53 supports the big prize opening / closing plate 51 (the state shown in FIG. 2B), the big prize opening / closing plate 51 is tilted to the maximum by the cam 53, and the cam 53 When 53 is turned, the winning opening opening / closing plate 51 gradually rises to the rear side and returns to the original state (the state shown in FIG. 2A). Here, since the cam 53 is formed in a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the side, end portions protruding away from the center of rotation are formed at three locations along the outer periphery of the cam 53. For this reason, every time the cam 53 makes one rotation, the special winning opening opening / closing plate 51 can be moved back and forth three times. Therefore, the special winning opening opening / closing plate 51 can be vibrated back and forth at a predetermined speed by rotating the special winning opening vibrating motor 42 at a predetermined rotational speed (for example, two rotations per second). The cam 53 is formed in such a shape that the prize opening opening / closing plate 51 does not protrude from the front surface 1 a of the game board 1 even when the prize winning opening opening / closing plate 51 is tilted forward to the maximum by the cam 53. . For this reason, even when the big prize opening / closing plate 51 is vibrated by the big prize opening vibration motor 42, the ball that has dropped between the game board 1 and the glass plate 52 is caught by the upper end of the big prize opening / closing plate 51. It is possible to pass the front side of the big prize opening opening / closing plate 51 without.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the outer shape of the cam 53 does not necessarily require the big prize opening / closing plate 51 to protrude from the front surface 1a of the game board 1, and the radius of the sphere used for the game. It is good also as a shape which makes the big winning opening diaphragm 51 protrude ahead from the front surface 1a of the game board 1 within the range used as a smaller opening. Even if the big prize opening opening / closing plate 51 protrudes from the front face 1a of the game board 1, the big winning opening opening / closing board 51 can be closed without sandwiching a ball between the big winning opening opening / closing board 51 and the game board 1. Therefore, when the pachinko machine P is to make a big prize opening effect, the extra winning ball opening / closing plate 51 is widened to prevent the extra ball from being won in the middle of the production, and the player is powerful. It is possible to provide a prize opening effect.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the pachinko machine P. As shown in FIG. On the main control board C of the pachinko machine P, an MPU 21 as a one-chip microcomputer which is an arithmetic unit is mounted. The MPU 21 includes a ROM 22 for storing various control programs executed by the MPU 21 and fixed value data, and a memory for temporarily storing various data and the like when executing the control program stored in the ROM 22. A RAM 23 and various circuits such as an interrupt circuit, a timer circuit, and a data transmission / reception circuit are incorporated. The two effect selection tables 22a and 22b shown in FIG. 4 are stored in the ROM 22 as a part of fixed value data, and the programs of the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  The two effect selection tables 22a and 22b shown in FIG. 4 stored in the ROM 22 are used in place of the contents of the variable display effect performed on the LCD 3 or the variable display effect when a ball is won at the start port 4. It is a table for deciding the contents (effect pattern) of the success / failure effect, such as whether or not to execute a grand prize opening effect that vibrates the mouth opening / closing plate 51. When an effect pattern lottery is performed, one of the two tables 22a and 22b is used based on the timing at which the ball wins the start opening 4, and one effect is generated based on the lottery result by the table. The execution of the pattern is determined. The production selection conditions set in the tables 22a and 22b will be described later.

  The RAM 23 includes a holding ball counter 23a, a random number counter 23b, a loss effect counter 23c, an effect pattern counter 23d, an effect execution area 23e, four effect execution 1-4 memories 23f-23i, and a backup area 23j. I have. Further, the RAM 23 is configured so that the backup voltage is supplied from the power supply board 50 even after the power of the pachinko machine P is turned off, so that the data can be retained (backed up).

  The on-hold ball counter 23a is a counter that stores the number of winning / notifying effects that are waiting for execution. The value of the holding ball counter 23a is “0” when the variable display effect or the big prize opening effect is not executed, or when the effect is being performed but there is no number of the winning effects waiting for execution. When the number of success / failure effects during execution standby is one, “1”,..., When the number of success / failure effects during execution standby is four, “4”. In the pachinko machine P of the present embodiment, the maximum number of standby times of the success / failure effect is 4, so the value of the reserved ball counter 23a changes in the range of “0” to “4”. The value of the holding ball counter 23a is counted up when a ball is won at the start port 4 and detected by the first type start port switch 18 (see S53 in FIG. 8), and the countdown is the start of the success / failure effect. Sometimes (see S63 in FIG. 9).

  The random number counter 23b is a counter for determining the occurrence of a jackpot, and is updated by one count every 2 ms in the range of “0 to 630” by a random number update process (see S16 in FIG. 6) described later. The value of the random number counter 23b is acquired when a ball that has been driven into the game board 1 wins the starting port 4 and is detected by a first type starting port switch 18 described later (at the time of starting winning), and is acquired at this time. The jackpot occurs when the value of the random number counter 23b is “7” or “315”. Here, the value of the random number counter 23b acquired at the time of starting winning is written and stored in the effect execution 1-4 memories 23f-23i indicated by the value of the holding ball counter 23a (see S54 in FIG. 8).

  The losing effect counter 23c is a counter for determining whether or not the suggestion effect is to be executed for the success / failure effect in which the result after the effect is lost. If the lottery result based on the timing of winning the start opening 4 is a loss, it will be a normal loss effect, or a loss effect with an effect (a suggestion effect) that will give the player a big win expectation It is determined based on the value of the loss effect counter 23c. The value of the lost effect counter 23c is updated by one count every 2 ms in the range of “0 to 9” by a random number update process (see S16 in FIG. 6) described later. The value of the lost effect counter 23c is acquired at the time of winning a start similarly to the value of the random number counter 23b. The value of the random number counter 23b is not a value that generates a big hit, and the acquired lost effect counter 23c. When the value of “7” is “7”, the execution of the loss effect with the suggestion effect is determined. In addition, the value of the loss effect counter 23c acquired at the time of starting winning is written and stored in the effect execution 1-4 memories 23f-23i indicated by the value of the holding ball counter 23a together with the value of the random number counter 23b. (See FIG. 8, S54).

  Here, as the suggestion effect, a reach display by a variable display effect, a special prize opening effect, or the like is exemplified. The reach display is the central display where the combination of symbols displayed in the left and right display areas that stop first after the symbol variation display has met the jackpot condition and the variation display continues. Depending on the display result of the area, it is a display that suggests to the player that it will be a big hit. In addition, in the pachinko machine P of the present embodiment, the production of the normal reach (normal reach) and the production of the super reach in which the production time is longer than the normal reach and “fish school” and “bubble” are displayed on the LCD 3 (hereinafter referred to as super reach). The probability (expected value) of transition to jackpot after normal reach is set to about 1%. On the other hand, the probability of transitioning to a big hit after super reach is set to be twice or more higher than that of normal reach. By executing super reach, the player can expect a big hit from normal reach.

  The effect pattern counter 23d is a counter for determining the effect pattern of the suggested effect at the start of the effect. When determining whether the suggestion effect production pattern is a normal reach, a super reach, or a special prize opening effect, the value of the effect pattern counter 23d is referred to. The value of the effect pattern counter 23d is updated by one count every 2 ms within a range of “0 to 99” by a random number update process (see S16 in FIG. 6) described later. The value of the effect pattern counter 23d may be referred to in the effect pattern setting process (see FIGS. 9 and 10 and S66) executed at the start of the success / failure effect. In this case, the referred effect pattern counter Data corresponding to the value of 23d is read from one of the two tables 22a and 22b shown in FIG. 4, and written and stored in the effect execution area 23e as one of the data for effect execution. (See FIG. 10).

  Here, with reference to FIG. 4, the tables 22a and 22b used to determine the effect pattern of the suggestive effect will be described. FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are diagrams schematically showing the configuration of the tables 22a and 22b. In each table 22a, 22b, there are “variable display effect 1” for executing normal reach, “variable display effect 2” for executing super reach (super reach 1), and super reach 1 as effect patterns of suggestion effects. There are four types of effects configured by “variable display effect 3” and “big prize opening effect” for executing different super reach (super reach 2). Each production is associated with four pieces of data “0 to 3”.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram schematically showing a configuration of a jackpot effect selection table 22a used for lottery of effect patterns for the success / failure effect in which a jackpot occurs. In the jackpot effect selection table 22a, the value of the effect pattern counter 23d corresponds to four types of effect patterns of “variable display effects 1 to 3” and “big prize opening effect”. Specifically, the value of the effect pattern counter 23d that can take a total of 100 values within the range of “0 to 99” is “0 to 14” and “variable display effect 2” with respect to “variable display effect 1”. "15 to 34", "Fluctuation display effect 3" is divided into "35 to 59", and "Large winning opening effect" is divided into four ranges "60 to 99". That is, the production patterns of “variable display effect 1”, “variable display effect 2”, “variable display effect 3” and “big prize opening effect” are divided into a ratio of 15: 20: 25: 40, and the big hit is With respect to the occurrence / non-execution effect to be generated, the variable display effect is selected with a probability of 60%, and the special winning opening effect is selected with a probability of 40%.

  FIG. 4B is a diagram schematically showing a configuration of the lost effect selection table 22b used for lottery of the effect pattern of the suggested effect with respect to the success / failure effect of the lose. Similarly to the jackpot effect selection table 22a, the lose effect selection table 22b also corresponds to the value of the effect pattern counter 23d for four types of effect patterns of “variable display effects 1 to 3” and “big prize opening effect”. Specifically, the value of the effect pattern counter 23d that can take a total of 100 values within the range of “0 to 99” is “0 to 39” and “variable display effect 2” with respect to “variable display effect 1”. "40 to 69", "70 to 89" for "variable display effect 3", and "90 to 99" for "big prize opening effect". That is, the production patterns of “variable display effect 1”, “variable display effect 2”, “variable display effect 3”, and “big prize opening effect” are divided into ratios of 40: 30: 20: 10, When the suggestion effect is executed as the success / failure effect, the variable display effect is selected with a probability of 90% and the special winning opening effect is selected with a probability of 10%.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the configuration of the RAM 23 of the MPU 21 will be described. The effect execution area 23e is an area for storing values such as a random number counter 23b, a loss effect counter 23c, and an effect pattern counter 23d corresponding to the variation pattern and stop symbol being executed on the LCD 3 as data for effect execution. In this effect execution area 23e, when the success / failure effect by the variable display effect or the big prize opening effect is not being executed, and there is a success / failure effect waiting for execution when the value of the holding ball counter 23a is “1” or more, The data for effect execution stored in the effect execution 1 memory 23f that is first written among the execution results of waiting for execution is written.

  The effect execution 1 to 4 memories 23f to 23i store values such as a random number counter 23b, a loss effect counter 23c, and an effect pattern counter 23d corresponding to the success / failure of the success / failure effect waiting for execution as data for effect execution. It is a memory to do. Writing of data for effect execution to the effect execution 1 to 4 memories 23f to 23i is executed at the time of start winning. Moreover, since the maximum number of standby times of the success / failure effect in this embodiment is four, four effect executions 1 to 4 memories 23f to 23i are provided. When there is data waiting in these four production execution 1 to 4 memories 23f to 23i, data is written and used in the production execution area 23e one by one each time a success / failure production is executed. .

  In addition, the data for effect execution is written in the effect execution 1 to 4 memories 23f to 23i to the effect execution 1 to 4 memories 23f to 23i indicated by the value of the reserved ball counter 23a. That is, when the value of the holding ball counter 23a is "1", the effect execution 1 memory 23f, when the value of the holding ball counter 23a is "2", the effect execution 2 memory 23g,... When the value of the counter 23a is “4”, data for effect execution is written in the effect execution 4 memory 23i (see S54 in FIG. 8). In addition, even if the values of the random number counter 23b, the loss effect counter 23c, and the effect pattern counter 23d are used as the data for effect execution stored in the effect execution 1 to 4 memories 23f to 23i, the counters 23b to 23d Another value or character converted in association with the value may be used.

  In the backup area 23j, when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, when the power is turned on again, the pachinko machine P returns to the state before the power is turned off. This is an area for storing stack pointers, values of registers, I / O, and the like. The writing to the backup area 23j is executed when the power is turned off by the NMI interrupt process (see FIG. 5). Conversely, the restoration of each value written to the backup area 23j is performed when the power is turned on (the power is turned on by eliminating the power failure). The same is performed in the initialization process (see FIG. 7). Note that a power failure signal 51 output from a power failure monitoring circuit 50b, which will be described later, is input to an NMI (Non Maskable Interrupt) terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the MPU 21 when a power failure occurs due to a power failure or the like. When a power failure occurs, the power failure process (NMI interrupt process) in FIG. 5 is immediately executed.

  The MPU 21 incorporating the ROM 22 and the RAM 23 is connected to an input / output port 25. The input / output port 25 performs payout control of prize balls and rental balls by a clear switch 50c provided on the power supply board 50 and a payout motor 26. The payout control board H to be performed, the display control board D for controlling the above-described symbol variation display, the first type start port switch 18, the above-described large winning port solenoid 41 and the large winning port vibration motor 42, and others Are connected to other input / output devices 29. The display control board D is connected to a sound lamp control board L that performs sound control of sound effects output from the speaker 27 and lighting control of LEDs and various lamps 28. The sound lamp control board L is controlled by a command transmitted from the display control board D.

  The first type start port switch 18 is a switch for detecting a ball that has won the start port (first type start port) 4 and is provided in the vicinity of the start port 4. When a ball is detected by the first type start port switch 18, five prize balls are paid out by a payout device (not shown). When a ball is detected by the first type start port switch 18, values such as the random number counter 23b, the loss effect counter 23c, and the effect pattern counter 23d are acquired, and the acquired values are data for effect execution. Are written and stored in the effect execution 1-4 memories 23f-23i indicated by the value of the holding ball counter 23a.

  The power supply board 50 includes a power supply unit 50a for supplying power to each unit of the pachinko machine P, a power failure monitoring circuit 50b, and a clear switch 50c. The power failure monitoring circuit 50b is a circuit for outputting a power failure signal 51 to the NMI terminal of the MPU 21 of the main control board C when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 50b monitors the voltage of 24 VDC, which is the largest voltage output from the power supply unit 50a, and determines that a power failure (power failure) has occurred when this voltage is less than 22 volts. The power failure signal 51 is output to the main control board C and the payout control board H. Based on the output of the power failure signal 51, the main control board C and the payout control board H recognize the occurrence of the power failure and execute the power failure process (in the case of the main control board C, the NMI interrupt process in FIG. 5). Note that the power supply unit 50a normally outputs an output of 5 volts, which is a drive voltage of the control system, for a time sufficient to execute the process at the time of a power failure even after the DC stable voltage of 24 volts becomes less than 22 volts. Since it is configured to maintain the value, the main control board C and the payout control board H can normally execute the power failure process.

  The clear switch 50c is a switch for clearing data backed up in the RAM 23 of the main control board C and the RAM (not shown) of the payout control board H, and is configured as a push button type switch. When the power of the pachinko machine P is turned on in a state where the clear switch 50c is pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), clear signals 52 are output to the main control board C and the payout control board H, respectively. The data in each RAM 23 is cleared by the substrate C and the payout control substrate H.

  Next, each process executed by the pachinko machine P configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an NMI interrupt process executed by the main control board C when the power of the pachinko machine P is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. By this NMI interruption process, the state of the main control board C when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like is stored in the backup area 23j.

  When the power of the pachinko machine P is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, a power failure signal 51 is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 50b to the NMI (Non Maskable Interrupt) terminal of the MPU 21 of the main control board C. Then, the MPU 21 interrupts the control being executed and starts the NMI interrupt process of FIG. Power is supplied from the power supply unit 50a of the power supply board 50 so that the process of the main control board C can be executed for a predetermined time after the power failure signal 51 is output, and the NMI interruption process is executed within this predetermined time. Is done.

  In the NMI interrupt processing, first, the values of each register and I / O are written to the stack area (S1), and then the value of the stack pointer is written to the backup area 23j and saved (S2). Further, the power failure occurrence information is written in the backup area 23j (S3), and the state at the time of power failure due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like is stored. Thereafter, after other power failure processing is executed (S4), the processing is looped until the power is completely cut off and the processing cannot be executed.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a main process executed on the main control board C of the pachinko machine P. The main control of the pachinko machine P is executed by this main process. In the main process, interrupts are first prohibited (S11), and then the initialization process shown in FIG. 7 is executed (S12). Here, the initialization process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the initialization process (S12) executed in the main process of the main control board C when the pachinko machine P is turned on. In this process, if the backup is valid, each data stored in the backup area 23j is returned to the original state, and the game control is continued from the state before the power is turned off. On the other hand, if the backup is not valid, or if the clear switch 50c is pressed when the power is turned on even if the backup is valid, RAM clear and initialization processing is executed. Although this initialization process (S12) is described in the form of a subroutine, it is a process that is executed before setting the stack pointer, so it is actually executed in sequence after the process of S11 without calling a subroutine. The

  First, a stack pointer is set (S41), and it is confirmed whether or not the clear switch 50c is turned on (S42). If the clear switch 50c is not turned on (S42: No), it is confirmed whether the backup is valid (S43). This confirmation is determined by whether or not the keyword written in the predetermined area of the RAM 23 is correctly stored. If the keyword is stored correctly, the backup is valid. Conversely, if the keyword is not correct, the backup data is destroyed, so the backup is not valid. If the backup is valid (S43: Yes), the process proceeds to S45, and each state of the main control board C is returned to the state before the power is turned off. On the other hand, if the backup is not valid (S43: No) or the clear switch 50c is turned on (S42: Yes), RAM clear and initialization processing is executed (S44), and the RAM 23, I / O, etc. Each value is initialized, and this initialization process is terminated. After the process of S44 is completed, the process of S13 in FIG. 6 is executed.

  In the power recovery process from S45, first, the value of the stack pointer is read from the backup area 23j and written to the stack pointer to return to the state before power-off (before power failure), that is, the state before occurrence of NMI interrupt ( S45). Next, data such as each register and I / O saved in the backup area 23j is read from the backup area 23j, and these data are written into the original register and I / O (S46). Further, the interrupt state is returned to the state before the power interruption (before the power failure) stored in the process of FIG. 5 executed at the time of the power failure, that is, the state before the NMI interrupt occurs (S47), and the NMI interrupt return. To return to the place where the process was executed before the power was turned off, and the control is continued from the state before the power was turned off.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. In the process of S13, a timer interrupt is set (S13). After setting the timer interrupt, each interrupt is permitted (S14). After permitting the interrupt, the output data updated in the previous process is output to each port at once by the effect setting execution process (S25), the display data creation process (S27), the lamp / information process (S28), etc. The port output process is executed (S15).

  Further, a random number update process (S16) for updating the value of the random number counter 23b for determining the jackpot, the value of the loss effect counter 23c, the value of the effect pattern counter 23d, etc., is executed (S16), and the storage timer subtraction process is executed. (S17). The storage timer subtraction process is for shortening the time for the variable display when there is a predetermined number or more of the reserved balls for the big hit determination and the LCD 3 is displaying the variable display of the symbols.

  In the switch monitoring process (S18), according to the state of each switch read by the INT interruption, the winning ball 2, the specific winning port 5, and the starting port 4 of the ball thrown into the game area are won, to the gate 7. , And a process related to award ball payout. In the symbol counter update process (S20), a counter update process for determining a symbol to be stopped and displayed as a result of the variable display performed on the LCD 3 is performed. Further, in the symbol check process (S21), based on the counter value updated in the symbol counter update process (S20), the jackpot symbol, the lost symbol, and the reach symbol used in the effect setting execution process (S25). Etc. are determined.

  Next, by the normal symbol variation process (S23), the variation display of the ordinary symbol display device 6 composed of the two LEDs 6a and 6b of “O” and “X” is performed, and as a result of the variation display, “O” is displayed. When the change display is finished with the LED 6a, a hit process is performed in which the normal electric accessory (starting port) 4 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). After that, the state flag is checked (S24), and in the normal time other than the special game state after the jackpot is generated (S24: normal time), at the timing when the ball wins the starting opening 4 by the effect setting execution process (S25). Based on the read value of the random number counter 23b, it is determined whether or not the game is a big hit, and a variable display effect by the LCD 3 or a big prize opening effect by the big prize opening / closing plate 51 is executed. On the other hand, if the result of checking the status flag indicates that the jackpot is being hit (S24: hitting the jackpot), a jackpot process (S26) such as opening the jackpot 5 is executed.

  In the display data creation process (S27), demo data displayed on the LCD 3 in addition to the symbol variation display, display data of the two LEDs 6a and 6b of the normal symbol display device 6, etc. are created, and lamp / information processing (S28). Then, various ramp data including the ramp data of the holding ball are created. In the sound effect process (S29), sound effect data corresponding to the game situation is created. These display data and sound effect data are output to the control boards H, D, and L through the port output process (S15) and the timer interrupt process.

  After the end of the sound effect process (S29), a random number initial value update process for updating the initial value of the random number counter 23b for determining the jackpot for the remaining time until the execution timing of the next process of S15 arrives ( S30) is repeatedly executed. Since each process of S15 to S29 needs to be periodically executed, the elapsed time from the previous execution of the process of S15 is checked in the process of S31 (S31). As a result of the check, if 2 ms has elapsed since the previous execution of the process of S15 (S31: Yes), the process proceeds to S15. On the other hand, if 2 ms has not elapsed (S31: No), the process proceeds to S30, and the random number initial value update process (S30) is repeatedly executed. Here, since the execution time of each process of S15-S29 changes according to the state of a game, the remaining time until the next execution timing of the process of S15 comes is not a fixed time. Accordingly, the initial value of the random number counter 23b can be updated at random by repeatedly executing the random number initial value update process (S30) using the remaining time.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the effect setting process executed in the symbol check process (see S21 in FIG. 5). This effect setting process is performed when the value of the holding ball counter 23a is "3" or less and the effect execution data can be stored in the effect execution 1-4 memories 23f-23i. When the ball 18 is detected and a start winning is established, values such as the random number counter 23b and the effect pattern counter 23d at the time of starting winning are acquired as data for effect execution, and the effect execution indicated by the value of the reserved ball counter 23a is obtained. This process is stored in the 1 to 4 memories 23f to 23i.

  In this effect setting process, first, it is confirmed whether or not the first type start port switch 18 has detected a ball (S51). If the first type start port switch 18 has not detected a sphere (S51: No), this effect setting process is terminated. If the first type start port switch 18 detects a ball (S51: Yes), it is next checked whether or not the value of the reserved ball counter 23a is "4" or more (S52). If the value of the holding ball counter 23a is “4” or more (S52: Yes), the data for execution of execution is written in all of the execution executions 1 to 4 memories 23f to 23i provided for the number of standby times of the success / failure effect. Therefore, this effect setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the value of the holding ball counter 23a is less than “4” (S52: No), the execution execution data is not stored for the number of standby times, so “1” is added to the value of the holding ball counter 23a. (S53), the values of the random number counter 23b, the loss effect counter 23c, and the effect pattern counter 23d are written in the effect execution 1-4 memories 23f-23i indicated by the value of the reserved ball counter 23a as data for effect execution (S54). The effect setting process ends.

  Next, the reserved ball counter subtraction process executed in the effect setting execution process (S25) of FIG. 6 will be described with reference to FIG. In this reserved ball counter subtraction process, when the value of the reserved ball counter 23a is "1" or more, if either one of the variable display effect or the big prize opening effect (whether or not effect) is not performed, the reserved ball The value of the counter 23a is decremented by “1”, and the data for execution of the waiting effect is written in the effect execution area 23e to execute the success / failure effect. Is a process for holding (waiting).

  In the reserved ball counter subtraction process, first, it is confirmed whether or not a winning / prohibiting effect is being executed (S61). As a result of the confirmation, if the success / failure effect is not being executed (S61: No), it is confirmed whether or not the value of the reserved ball counter 23a is equal to or greater than “1” (S62). If the value of the holding ball counter 23a is “1” or more (S62: Yes), “1” is subtracted from the value of the holding ball counter 23a (S63), and the effect execution stored in the effect execution 1 memory 23f is performed. Is written in the effect execution area 23e (S64). The data for effect execution written in the effect execution area 23e is transmitted as a control command to the display control board D after completion of the reserved ball counter subtraction process of FIG. 9, and each of the control boards D and L rotates the symbol. The variable display according to the data written in the execution area 23e is executed. When the special winning opening effect is executed, a command for causing the LCD 3 to display “Look at the special winning opening” is transmitted to the display control board D as a control command.

  After the process of S64, the data for effect execution stored in the effect execution 2 to 4 memories 23g to 23i are shifted one by one to the effect execution 1 to 3 memories 23f to 23h (S65), and the suggestion effect is executed. The effect pattern setting process (S66) for setting whether or not to perform is executed, and this reserved ball counter subtraction process is terminated. When it is confirmed in the process of S61 that the success / failure effect is being executed (S61: Yes), and when the value of the holding ball counter 23a is less than “1”, that is, “0” ( (S62: No), the process from S63 to S66 is skipped, and the retained ball counter subtraction process is terminated.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart (S66) of the effect pattern setting process performed in the reserved ball counter subtraction process (see FIG. 9). This effect pattern setting process (S66) is a process for determining an effect pattern such as whether or not to execute a suggestion effect on the success / failure effect in which the start prize is established. The determination as to whether to execute a variable display effect as the success / failure effect or to execute a large winning opening effect that vibrates the large winning opening / closing plate 51 is performed in the effect pattern setting process (S66).

  In the effect pattern setting process (S66), first, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the random number counter 23b stored in the effect execution area 23e is a value that generates a big hit (S71). If the value is a value that generates a jackpot (S71: Yes), the data indicated by the value of the effect pattern counter 23d is read from the jackpot effect selection table 22a (see FIG. 4A) and written to the effect execution area 23e. The setting process ends.

  On the other hand, if the value of the random number counter 23b stored in the effect execution area 23e in the process of S71 is not a value that generates a big hit (S71: No), the value of the loss effect counter 23c stored in the effect execution area 23e is suggested. It is confirmed whether or not the value is a value for executing the loss effect accompanied with the effect (S73). If it is a value for executing the loss effect accompanied by the suggestion effect, that is, “7” (S73: Yes), the data indicated by the value of the effect pattern counter 23d is used as the loss effect selection table 22b (see FIG. 4B). Is read out and written in the effect execution area 23e (S74), and this effect pattern setting process is terminated. When the data written in the processing of S72 or S74 is “3”, execution of the big prize opening effect is determined as the suggestion effect, and when the data is other than “3”, the variable display effect is used. Execution of the suggestion effect is determined.

  If the value of the loss effect counter 23c stored in the effect execution area 23e in the process of S73 is not a value for executing the lose effect accompanied by the suggestion effect (S73: No), the process of S74 is skipped and the effect pattern is skipped. The setting process ends.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the special winning opening effect control process performed in the effect setting execution process (S25) in the main process of the main control board C. In this special winning opening effect control process, when it is determined to execute the big winning opening effect that vibrates the special winning opening opening / closing plate 51 as a success / failure effect, the special winning opening vibration motor 42 is driven for a predetermined time to generate the special winning opening effect. This is a process to be executed.

  In this special winning opening effect control process, first, it is confirmed whether or not the data of the production pattern stored in the production execution area 23e is a value for executing the special winning opening effect, that is, "3" (S81). If it is a value for executing the special winning opening effect (S81: Yes), the special winning opening vibration motor 42 is driven (S82).

  In the process of S83, the elapsed time from the start of the driving of the big winning opening vibration motor 42 is confirmed (S83), and a predetermined time (15 in this embodiment) after the driving of the big winning opening vibration motor 42 is started. If the second has passed (S83), it is time to end the execution of the success / failure effect due to the special prize opening effect (S83: Yes), so that the driving of the special prize winning vibration motor 42 is stopped and this special prize is awarded. The mouth effect control process is terminated.

  Here, in the case where the big prize opening effect being executed generates a big hit, that is, the value of the random number counter 23b stored in the effect execution area 23e is “7” or “315”, the processing of S84 is performed. Later, the state flag (see S24 in FIG. 6) is determined to be a big hit, and a transition is made to a special gaming state (the state shown in FIG. 2C) in which the big winning opening / closing plate 51 is tilted. On the other hand, if the value of the random number counter 23b stored in the effect execution area 23e is not “7” or “315”, the state flag is held in the normal state and there is data for effect execution in standby. In this case, the success / failure effect is started again.

  If the data of the effect pattern stored in the effect execution area 23e in the process of S81 is not a value for executing the special prize opening effect (S81: No), the process from S82 to S84 is skipped and the special prize opening effect is performed. The control process ends. Also, if the predetermined time has not elapsed in the process of S83 (S83: No), the prize winning opening vibration motor 42 is driven because the prize winning opening effect is being executed but it is not yet time to finish the effect. The special winning opening effect control process is terminated in the state where it is left.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine P in the first embodiment of the present invention, the display result of the variable display by the LCD 3 becomes a big hit when the predetermined display result appears, and the variable display by the LCD 3 is displayed. Since the big prize opening opening / closing plate 51 that opens and closes the big prize opening 5 without being executed is a big hit, the game becomes diversified, and a new game that has never existed in the past is given to the player. Can be provided, and the monotony of the game can be wiped out.

  The special game state in which the special winning opening 5 is opened starts as a big hit when the variable display stops with a predetermined combination of symbols, and the variable display shows a display result that gives a big hit. Even if it does not, it will be started by a jackpot by directing the winning prize. Therefore, the player is surprised that the big win is generated in a flow different from the conventional flow in which the variable display becomes a big hit after the predetermined display result appears and the big winning opening 5 is opened. It is possible to enhance the fun of games given to the players.

  Furthermore, the big prize opening effect executed as the success / failure effect for notifying the player of the jackpot grant is executed by using the big prize opening 5 that is opened when a special game state is given to the player. During the normal game, the player wishes to open the grand prize opening 5 and plays a game, so that the big prize opening 5 is directly opened to the player by the operation of the big prize opening / closing plate 51. A special gaming state can be imagined, and a willingness to play can be enhanced.

  Next, a pachinko machine 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the pachinko machine P according to the first embodiment described above, when the big prize opening effect that vibrates the big prize opening / closing plate 51 is set as one of the success / failure effects. Without performing the display effect, the big prize opening 5 was opened and the player was informed of the jackpot. Further, in the pachinko machine P of the first embodiment, the large winning opening / closing plate 51 for opening the large winning opening 5 is formed by a single plate. Further, in the pachinko machine P according to the first embodiment, the main winning opening effect that vibrates the large winning opening / closing plate 51 is controlled by the main control board C.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment, the success / failure effect is executed only by the LCD 3, and the special winning opening effect is executed as one of the suggested effects. Also, the big prize opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103 for opening the big winning prize opening 101 are formed of two plates, and one of the big prize opening opening / closing plates corresponding to the jackpot given out of two kinds of jackpots having different values. 102 and 103 are selectively operated. Furthermore, the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment controls the special winning opening effect by the display control board D. Hereinafter, in the description of the second embodiment, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  Here, in the conventional pachinko machine, a predetermined symbol appears on the display screen of the LCD 3 during the variable display, a specific sound effect is output from the speaker 27, or an operation handle (not shown) is vibrated. The device is executed in accordance with a predetermined probability, and a device is suggested in advance to indicate to the player that the display result after the change is likely to be a big hit. However, this type of production is unique to each model or manufacturer, and for players who are unfamiliar with games, even if this type of production is executed, the production suggests the occurrence of a big hit It is difficult to determine whether the performance is unrelated to the jackpot or the jackpot, and it is difficult to suggest the occurrence of the jackpot to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 100 of the second embodiment, a big prize opening effect is executed as a suggestion effect that suggests the occurrence of a jackpot. It is generally the same that the special prize opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103 are opened to enter the special game state regardless of the model or manufacturer. It is easy to get a sense of expectation that the grand prize winning opening 101 may be opened, and it is possible to easily suggest the occurrence of a big hit to the player.

  FIG. 12 is a front view of the game board 1 of the pachinko machine 100 in the second embodiment. The pachinko machine 100 has a large winning opening 101 provided below the start opening 4 that is wider in the vertical direction than the pachinko machine P of the first embodiment, and is large enough to open and close the large winning opening 101. Two extra prize opening opening / closing plates 102, 103 are arranged side by side by providing one extra winning opening opening / closing plates 102, 103. The two large winning opening opening / closing plates 102, 103 are configured such that either one of the large winning opening opening / closing plates 102, 103 is selectively opened according to the type of jackpot given.

  Specifically, there are two types of jackpots that can be awarded to a player in the pachinko machine 100: normal jackpots and probability variation jackpots. The (second big prize opening opening / closing plate) 103 is opened and closed, and a game value in a special gaming state is given. When this normal jackpot occurs, after the special gaming state ends, the game state transitions to the normal gaming state. This normal jackpot occurs when three normal variation symbols (designated by even numbers) are stopped side by side as a display result of variation display by the LCD 3.

  On the other hand, when a probability variation jackpot occurs, the upper prize opening opening / closing plate (first big prize opening opening / closing plate) 102 is opened and closed, and a game value according to the special gaming state is given. When this probability variation jackpot occurs, after the special gaming state ends, the probability transition state changes to a probability variation state in which the probability of jackpot occurrence is five times the normal time. This probability variation jackpot occurs when three probability variation symbols (in this embodiment, symbols represented by odd numbers) are stopped side by side as a display result of variation display by the LCD 3.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the structure of the member which opens and closes the big winning opening 101 of the pachinko machine 100 in the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 13A is a rear view of the vicinity of the special winning opening 101 of the pachinko machine 100 in the second embodiment, and FIG. 13B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XIIIb-XIIIb of FIG. In FIGS. 13A and 13B, only main members related to the opening / closing of the prize winning opening 101 are shown, and other members are omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (a), the two large winning opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103 are formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape, and cylindrical support shafts 102a and 103a from the lower end portions at the left and right edges thereof. Is protruding. The support shafts 102 a and 103 a are fitted into fitting holes (not shown) provided in the game board 1, and the big prize opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103 are swingably supported by the game board 1. Cylindrical operation shafts 102b and 103b projecting toward the rear (front side in the direction perpendicular to the sheet of FIG. 13A) are provided at one end portions of the two large winning opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103, respectively. The operating shafts 102b and 103b are connected to two big prize opening solenoids (first and second big prize opening solenoids) 111 and 112 driven according to the energization state of the current via the intermediate members 104 and 105, respectively. Each is connected.

  The special prize opening solenoids 111 and 112 are members for individually opening the two special prize opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103, and are constituted by general electromagnetic solenoids. As shown in FIG. 13 (a), each of the winning prize solenoids 111 and 112 includes a main body fixed to the game board 1 and arms 111a and 112a supported so as to be slidable with respect to the main body. The distal ends of the arms 111a and 112a are engaged with the intermediate members 104 and 105.

  Here, the operation of the first big prize opening / closing plate 102 by the operation of the first big prize opening solenoid 111 will be described. When the first big prize opening solenoid 111 is in a non-energized state, the arm 111a is urged in a direction protruding outward from the main body by the action of the spring 111b that urges the arm 111a. In a state where the arm 111a protrudes to the maximum, the intermediate member 104 engaged with the arm 111a is disposed at a position where the intermediate member 104 is rotated to the maximum in the clockwise direction in FIG. The first big prize opening opening / closing plate 102 connected to is closed by closing the upper half of the big prize winning opening 101. When the first big prize opening solenoid 111 is energized, the arm 111a is pulled into the main body and the intermediate member 104 engaged with the arm 111a rotates counterclockwise in FIG. The big winning opening / closing plate 102 opens the upper half of the big winning opening 101.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, the second big prize opening solenoid 112, together with the second big prize opening opening / closing plate 103 and the intermediate member 105, It is formed so as to have the same structure as the connecting structure. That is, when the second big prize opening solenoid 112 is not energized, the arm 112a is biased in the direction of protruding outward from the main body by the action of the spring 112b biasing the arm 112a, thereby engaging the arm 112a. The second big prize opening / closing plate 103 closes the lower half of the big prize opening 101 through the joined intermediate member 105 and stops. On the other hand, when the second big prize opening solenoid 112 is energized, the arm 112a is pulled into the main body and the intermediate member 105 engaged with the arm 112a rotates, so that the second big prize opening opening / closing plate 103 becomes the big prize opening 101. Open the lower half of.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, a dividing plate 106 is provided below the big prize winning opening 101 to guide the ball that won the big winning prize opening 101 to either the left or right. The dividing plate 106 is connected to the dividing plate solenoid 113 via the intermediate member 107, and is maintained in a state of being tilted to one side by a spring 113 b of the dividing plate solenoid 113. When the dividing plate solenoid 113 is actuated, the rotating member 107a of the intermediate member 107 engaged with the arm 113a of the solenoid 113 rotates and the slide member 107b that moves in the left-right direction in conjunction with the rotating member 107a moves. Thus, the inclination direction of the dividing plate 106 is reversed. The ball that has won the big winning opening 101 is guided to either the left or right by controlling the operation of the dividing plate solenoid 113 to change the inclination direction of the dividing plate 106. In the big prize opening 101 of the pachinko machine 100 in the second embodiment, a V zone for continuing the opening / closing operation of the big prize opening 101 is provided on the left side of the dividing plate 106 in FIG. When the winning of the ball is detected by a switch (not shown), the separator solenoid 113 is operated to guide the ball to the winning path opposite to the V zone. Therefore, the player can determine at a glance whether or not the ball has won the V zone during the special game state based on the guidance direction of the ball by the dividing plate 106.

  The big prize opening vibration motor 114 is a motor for vibrating the big prize opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103 along the front-rear direction of the game board 1. A substantially disc-shaped gear 108 having a plurality of protrusions 108a projecting outward in the circumferential direction is fixed to the front end portion of the big prize opening vibration motor 114, and the big prize opening vibration motor 114 is fixed. When 114 is driven, the gear 108 rotates. As shown in FIG. 13B, the gear 108 is disposed on the inner surface side (left side of FIG. 13B) of the special winning opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103. Further, as shown in FIG. 13A, the gear 108 is disposed in a region partitioned by a partition plate 101 a that is provided on one end side of the big prize opening 101 and divides the inside of the big prize opening 101. . Therefore, the ball that has won the special winning opening 101 does not come into contact with the gear 108, and the gear 108 can be prevented from being damaged.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (b), a swing member 109 formed in a cylindrical shape along the front-rear direction of the game board 1 is disposed between the prize winning opening / closing plates 102 and 103 and the gear 108. ing. The swing member 109 is pivotally supported by a shaft 109a along the left-right direction of the game board 1 (the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 13B), and the front end portion of each of the big prize opening opening / closing plates 102, 103 is supported. The protrusions 102 c and 103 c projecting on the inner surface side are formed to be engageable, and the rear end portion is formed to be engageable with the protrusion 108 a of the gear 108. The swinging member 109 is neutral and stationary in the state shown in FIG. 13B by a resin plate spring 109b formed along the left-right direction of the game board 1 (the vertical direction in FIG. 13B). It is supposed to do.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 13B, the operation of the special winning opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103 accompanying the driving of the special winning opening vibration motor 114 will be described. When the special winning opening vibration motor 114 is rotationally driven from the state shown in FIG. 13B in the forward direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 13B), the gear 108 is interlocked with the driving of the special winning opening vibration motor 114. Then, it is rotated in the clockwise direction in FIG. 13B, and the protruding portion 108a of the gear 108 rotates the swing member 109 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 13B around the shaft 109a. The front end portion of the swing member 109 presses the convex portion 102c of the first big prize opening opening / closing plate 102 upward, and the first big prize opening opening / closing plate 102 starts to tilt forward. As the gear 108 rotates, the first big prize opening opening / closing plate 102 continues to tilt with an increased amount of movement.

  When the gear 108 continues to rotate and the engagement between the protrusion 108a of the gear 108 and the swing member 109 is released, the swing member 109 is neutralized as shown in FIG. 13B by the action of the leaf spring 109b. Returned to position. When the swing member 109 is returned to the neutral position, the tilt of the first big prize opening / closing plate 102 is released, and the first big prize opening opening / closing plate 102 is closed by the action of the spring 111b of the first big prize opening solenoid 111. Return to the state. Since the protruding portion 108a of the gear 108 protrudes outward from eight locations on the outer periphery thereof, the first big winning opening is opened and closed every time the gear 108 (large winning opening vibration motor 114) rotates in the forward direction. The plate 102 can be moved back and forth by 8 times. Accordingly, by driving the special winning opening vibration motor 114 in the forward direction at a constant speed, it is possible to perform a special winning opening effect that vibrates the first big winning opening / closing plate 102. As in the case of the pachinko machine P in the first embodiment, the ball is not formed even if the first big prize opening / closing plate 102 is tilted forward by the swing member 109 to the maximum. .

  When the big prize opening vibration motor 114 is rotationally driven in the reverse direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 13B) from the state shown in FIG. 13B, the gear 108 is turned into the big prize opening vibration motor 114. 13b is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 13B, and the protrusion 108a of the gear 108 rotates the swing member 109 in the clockwise direction in FIG. 13B around the shaft 109a. . The front end portion of the swing member 109 presses the convex portion 103c of the second big prize opening / closing plate 103 diagonally downward, and the second big prize opening / closing plate 103 starts to tilt forward. As the gear 108 rotates, the second big prize opening opening / closing plate 103 continues to tilt with an increased amount of movement. When the gear 108 continues to rotate and the engagement between the protrusion 108a of the gear 108 and the swing member 109 is released, the swing member 109 is neutralized as shown in FIG. 13B by the action of the leaf spring 109b. Returned to position. When the swing member 109 is returned to the neutral position, the tilt of the second prize winning opening / closing plate 103 is released, and the action of the spring 112b of the second prize winning opening solenoid 112 closes the second prize winning opening / closing plate 103. Return to the state. For this reason, every time the gear 108 (large winning opening vibration motor 114) rotates in the opposite direction, the second large winning opening opening / closing plate 103 can be moved back and forth by 8 times, and the large winning opening vibration motor at a constant speed. 114 can be driven in the reverse direction to perform a big prize opening effect that vibrates the second big prize opening opening / closing plate 103.

  Thus, by rotating the gear 108, the first big prize opening opening / closing plate 102 and the second big prize opening opening / closing plate 103 can be opened and closed. The big prize opening / closing plate can be operated. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a separate motor (actuator) for each of the big prize opening / closing plates 102 and 103, and the cost required to vibrate the two big prize opening / closing plates 102 and 103 can be reduced. In addition, the motor can be easily arranged.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 100 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. FIG. 14 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 100 in the second embodiment. FIGS. 15A and 15B are diagrams schematically showing the configuration of a table used when selecting an effect pattern in the second embodiment.

  The MPU 121 of the main control board C is provided with a ROM 122, and various control programs executed by the MPU 121 and fixed value data are stored in the ROM 122. The programs of the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 are stored in the ROM 122 as a part of the control program. In addition, the ROM 122 is provided with two effect selection tables 122a and 122b whose contents are different from those of the first embodiment.

  In the pachinko machine P of the first embodiment, the main control board determines whether or not to execute the big prize opening effect by setting the variable display effect and the big prize opening effect in the effect selection tables 22a and 22b of the main control board C. In the pachinko machine 100 of the second embodiment, the data of the production pattern in which the production time from the production start to the production end is determined is transmitted to the display control board D. The display control board D determines whether or not to execute the big prize opening effect as the suggestion effect within the effect time according to the effect pattern data. Here, with reference to FIG. 15, the structure of the production | presentation selection tables 122a and 122b in 2nd Example is demonstrated.

  FIG. 15A is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of a jackpot presentation selection table 122a used for lottery of presentation patterns of variable display in which jackpots are generated. Four types of “variable display effects 1 to 4” are set in the jackpot effect selection table 122a, and the value of the effect pattern counter 23d corresponds to each of the four types of effect patterns. Specifically, the value of the effect pattern counter 23d updated within the range of “0 to 99” is “0 to 14” with respect to “variable display effect 1” in which the effect time is set to 5 seconds. “15-34” for “variable display effect 2” with time set to 10 seconds, “35-59” for “variable display effect 3” with time set to 15 seconds, effect time The “variable display effect 4” set to 20 seconds is divided into four ranges “60 to 99”. That is, the effect patterns of “variable display effect 1”, “variable display effect 2”, “variable display effect 3”, and “variable display effect 4” are divided into ratios of 15: 20: 25: 40.

  When the production pattern is determined based on the production selection tables 122a and 122b, four types of data “0 to 3” corresponding to each production pattern are output to the display control board D as production pattern data. . In each control board D and L, when the data of the production pattern is received, the production is performed in the production time corresponding to the data of each production pattern. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment, only when the “variable display effect 3” or the “variable display effect 4” effect is selected, an effect execution process (see FIG. 18), a lottery is performed, and execution of the big prize opening effect as the suggestion effect is determined with a probability of one third.

  FIG. 15B is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of the lost effect selection table 122b used for the lottery of the effect pattern of the suggested effect with respect to the fluctuation display of the lost, and the lost effect selection table 122b is also a big hit Similar to the selection table 122a, four types of “variable display effects 1 to 4” are set, and the value of the effect pattern counter 23d corresponds to each of the four types of effect patterns. Specifically, the value of the effect pattern counter 23d that can take a total of 100 values within the range of “0 to 99” is “0 to 39” for “variable display effect 1” whose effect time is 5 seconds. “40 to 69” for the “variable display effect 2” with an effect time of 10 seconds, “70 to 89” for the “variable display effect 3” with an effect time of 15 seconds, and “ It is divided into four ranges of “90 to 99” with respect to “Big prize opening effect”. That is, the effect patterns of “variable display effect 1”, “variable display effect 2”, “variable display effect 3”, and “variable display effect 4” are divided into ratios of 40: 30: 20: 10.

  Returning to FIG. 14, the configuration of the main control board C will be described. The RAM of the main control board C is provided with a jackpot symbol counter 123a in addition to the configuration of the RAM 23 in the pachinko machine P of the first embodiment.

  The jackpot symbol counter 123a is a counter for determining a symbol to be displayed on the LCD 3 when a jackpot is generated. In the pachinko machine 100 of the second embodiment, variable display is performed on the LCD 3 by 10 types of symbols composed of numbers from “0” to “9”, and three symbols displayed in the display area of the LCD 3 are displayed. A jackpot occurs when the same symbol is stopped and displayed. The value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a is updated in the range of “0 to 9” in association with the symbol that is stopped and displayed when the jackpot is generated, and every 2 ms by random number update processing (see FIG. 6, S16). Updated one count at a time. The value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a is acquired at the time of winning a prize together with the random number counter 23b. When the acquired value of the random number counter 23b is a value that generates a jackpot, the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a is followed. A big hit occurs in the design.

  Based on the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a, it is determined whether to generate a normal jackpot or a probability variation jackpot. In addition, when the big prize opening effect is executed as the suggestion effect when the big hit occurs, either the first big winning opening opening / closing plate 102 or the second big winning opening opening / closing plate 103 vibrates according to the value of the big winning symbol counter 123a. A jackpot is generated after execution of the suggestive effect (see FIG. 18, S131 and S132). The value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a acquired at the time of winning the start is written in the symbol rotation 1-4 memories 23f-23i indicated by the value of the holding ball counter 23a together with the values of the random number counter 23b and the lose reach counter 23c. And stored (see FIG. 16, S101).

  The MPU 121 incorporating the ROM 122 and RAM 123 is connected to the input / output port 25, and the input / output port 25 is connected to the first and second big prizes, like the big prize opening solenoid 41 connected in the first embodiment. In addition to the connection of the port solenoids 111 and 112, a dividing plate solenoid 113 is connected. On the other hand, in the first embodiment, the big winning opening vibration motor 42 is connected to the input / output port 25 of the main control board C, but in the second embodiment, the big winning opening vibration motor 114 is connected to the display control board D. It is connected to the.

  The display control board D includes an MPU 31, a video RAM 34, a character ROM 35, an image controller 36, an input / output port 39, an output port 37, and the like. One of the input / output ports 39 is connected to the input / output port 25 of the main control board C, the special winning opening vibration motor 114, and the sound lamp control board L. The other input / output port 39 is connected to the bus line. The MPU 31 is connected via An image controller 36 is connected to the input of the output port 37, and the LCD 3 is connected to the output of the output port 37.

  The MPU 31 of the display control board D executes the variable display of the LCD 3 based on the control command transmitted from the main control board C, and operates the large winning opening vibration motor 114 as one of the suggested effects. This is for controlling the winning opening effect, and includes a ROM 32 and a RAM 33. The ROM 32 stores various control programs executed by the MPU 31 and fixed value data. The program of the flowchart shown in FIG. 18 is stored in the ROM 32 as a part of the control program.

  The RAM 33 is a memory that stores work data and flags used when the MPU 31 executes various programs, and includes an effect determination counter 33a, a prize winning effect flag 33b, and an effect execution area 33c.

  The effect determination counter 33a is a counter for determining whether or not the big prize opening effect is executed as the suggestion effect of the variation display by the LCD 3 when the variation start control command is received from the main control board C. The value of the effect determination counter 33a is updated by one count every 2 ms within a range of “0 to 2” by an effect determination counter update process (see S127 in FIG. 18) in an effect execution process described later. The value of the effect determination counter 33a is acquired when a control command for starting variation is received. The value acquired at this time is “2”, and the value of the effect pattern transmitted from the main control board C is obtained. Only when the data is “2” or more, execution of the special winning opening effect is determined.

  The big prize opening effect flag 33b is a flag for indicating whether or not the execution of the big prize opening effect is decided. When the display control board D receives the control command for starting the change from the main control board C, the special winning opening effect flag 33b is that the data of the effect pattern added to the control command is “2” or more. If the value of the effect determination counter is “2” (see FIG. 18, S125). When the special winning opening effect flag 33b is on, the special winning opening effect is executed as the suggestion effect. When the designated production time has elapsed after receiving the variation start control command (see FIG. 18, S133), the special winning opening effect flag 33b is turned off (see FIG. 18, S136).

  In the effect execution area 33c, when the display control board D receives the control command for starting the change from the main control board C, the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a added to the control command and the data of the effect pattern are displayed. It is an area for storing. In the effect execution area 33c, the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a and the data of the effect pattern are written and stored at the timing when the display control board D receives the control command for starting variation (see S122 in FIG. 18). ).

  The video RAM 34 is a memory for storing display data displayed on the LCD 3, and the display content of the LCD 3 is changed by rewriting the content of the video RAM 34. The character ROM 35 is a memory for storing character data such as symbols displayed on the LCD 3. The image controller 36 adjusts the timings of the MPU 31, the video RAM 34, and the output port 37, intervenes in reading and writing data, and displays the display data stored in the video RAM 34 with reference to the character ROM 35 at a predetermined timing. Is displayed.

  Next, each process executed by the pachinko machine 100 in the second embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 16 to 18. Note that the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, 9, and 10 perform the same processing in the second embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. Further, the special winning opening effect control process (see FIG. 11) for driving the special winning opening vibration motor 41 by the main control board C is not performed in the second embodiment, and the special winning opening vibration motor 114 is shown in FIG. It is driven by an effect execution process by the display control board D.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the effect setting process performed on the main control board C of the pachinko machine 100 in the second embodiment. In this effect setting process, the process of S101 is changed with respect to the effect setting process of the first embodiment shown in FIG. In the effect setting process in the second embodiment, when the first type start port switch 18 detects a ball and a start winning is established, values such as the random number counter 23b and the effect pattern counter 23d at the start winning are used for effect execution. The value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a is stored at the same time when it is acquired as the data.

  In this effect setting process, if the value of the holding ball counter 23a is less than “4” when the first type start port switch 18 detects a ball (S51: Yes, S52: No), the value of the holding ball counter 23a. "1" is added to (S53), and the value of the reserved ball counter 23a is indicated by the value of the reserved ball counter 23a using the values of the random number counter 23b, the loss effect counter 23c, the effect pattern counter 23d, and the jackpot symbol counter 123a as data for effect execution. 4 Write to the memories 23f to 23i (S101), and finish this effect setting process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 17, a special winning opening opening / closing process performed on the main control board C of the pachinko machine 100 in the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the special winning opening / closing process performed on the main control board C. This special winning opening / closing process is a process performed in the jackpot process (S26) in the main process of FIG. In this big winning opening / closing process, when the big winning opening 101 is opened, it is determined whether the big winning symbol stored in the production execution area 23e is an odd number or an even number, whether it is a normal big hit or a probability variation big hit, This is a process for operating one of the two prize winning opening / closing plates 102 and 103 based on the determination result.

  In this special winning opening / closing process, first, it is confirmed whether or not a big hit is being made (S111). If it is a big hit (S111: Yes), it is confirmed whether or not it is the opening time of the big winning opening 101 (S112). If it is the opening time (S112: Yes), it is confirmed whether or not the jackpot symbol determined based on the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a is an odd number (S113), and if the jackpot symbol is an odd number (S113: Yes) ) After the first grand prize opening solenoid 111 is turned on to open the first big prize opening opening / closing plate 102 (S114), the special prize opening opening / closing process is terminated. On the other hand, in the process of S113, when it is confirmed that the jackpot symbol is an even number (S113: No), the second big prize opening solenoid 112 is turned on and the second big prize opening opening / closing plate 103 is opened. After (S115), this special winning opening / closing process is terminated.

  In the process of S112, when it is not the opening time of the big winning opening 101 (S112: No), it is confirmed whether it is the closing time of the big winning opening 101 (S116). If it is the closing timing of the special prize opening 101 (S116: Yes), the special prize opening solenoids 111 and 112 turned on in the process of S114 or S115 are turned off (S117), and this special prize opening / closing process is ended. In addition, when it is confirmed that it is not a big hit in the process of S111 (S111: No), or when it is confirmed that it is not the closing time of the big winning opening 101 in the process of S116 (S116: No), The subsequent process is skipped, and the special winning opening / closing process is terminated.

  As described above, since each of the big winning opening solenoids 111 and 112 is selectively operated according to the value of the big winning symbol counter 123a, the big winning opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103 corresponding to the given big winning can be operated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 18, an effect execution process executed on the display control board D will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the effect execution process. In this effect execution process, when the display control board D receives a change start instruction from the main control board C, it determines whether or not to execute the big prize opening effect as the suggestion effect, and the big prize opening effect. The control for operating the special winning opening vibration motor 114 is performed when the control is executed. This effect execution process is executed as a part of the timer interruption process performed every 2 ms in the main process of the display control board D.

  In the effect execution process, first, it is confirmed whether or not a change start control command has been received (S121). If the variation start control command is received (S121: Yes), the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a added to the control command and the data of the effect pattern are written in the effect execution area 33c of the display control board D. (S122). Next, it is confirmed whether or not the data of the production pattern stored in the production execution area 33c is “2” or more (S123). When the data of the effect pattern written in the effect execution area 33c is “0” or “1”, the normal reach along the effect time is executed, and the data of the effect pattern written in the effect execution area 33c is “ If it is 2 ”or more, super reach is executed.

  When it is confirmed in the process of S123 that the production pattern data is “2” or more (S123: Yes), it is further confirmed whether or not the value of the production determination counter 33a is “2” (S124). If the value of the effect determination counter 33a is “2”, the prize winning effect flag 33b is turned on to confirm the execution of the prize winning effect (S125), and the process proceeds to S127.

  On the other hand, when the effect pattern data is “0” or “1” in the process of S123 (S123: No), and the value of the effect determination counter 33a is “0” or “1” in the process of S124. In (S124: No), since it is the start of the variable display that does not accompany the big winning opening effect, the big winning opening effect flag 33b is turned off (S126), and the process proceeds to S127. If the control command for starting change is not received in the process of S121 (S121: No), the process of S122 to S126 is skipped because the change is being displayed or waiting for the control command for start of change. Then, the process proceeds to S127.

  In the process of S127, the value of the effect determination counter 33a is updated (S127). The value of the effect determination counter 33a is updated in the range of “0 to 2”. Specifically, if the value of the effect determination counter 33a is “0” or “1”, “1” is added to the value, and if it is “2”, the value is cleared to “0”.

  The process from S128 is a process for controlling the driving of the big winning opening vibration motor 114 to execute the big winning opening effect. First, it is confirmed whether or not the variable display is being displayed (S128). If the variable display is being performed (S128: Yes), it is confirmed whether or not a reach display has appeared in the variable display (S129). The display control board D is transmitted with a command for stopping from the main control board C at the timing of stopping the changing symbol. After the symbol change display is started, the first and second symbols are displayed. When the symbols instructed to stop changing are the same, a reach display appears on the LCD 3 by the other processing of S137.

  If the reach display appears in the variable display in the process of S129 (S129: Yes), it is confirmed whether or not the special winning opening effect flag 33b is on (S130). If the big prize winning effect flag 33b is on (S130: Yes), it is checked whether or not the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a stored in the effect execution area 33c is an odd number (S131). If the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a is an odd number (S131: Yes), the big winning opening vibration motor 114 is driven in the forward direction to vibrate the first big winning opening opening / closing plate 102 to execute the big winning opening effect ( S132). On the other hand, if the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a is an even number in the process of S131 (S131: No), the big prize winning port vibration motor 114 is driven in the reverse direction to vibrate the second big prize winning opening / closing plate 103 and win a big prize. The mouth effect is executed (S133).

  After the grand prize opening effect is executed, the elapsed time from the start of the big prize opening effect is confirmed (S134), and the elapsed time corresponds to the effect time data stored in the effect execution area 33c. If not reached (S134: No), the process proceeds to S137 to perform other processes (S137), and the variable display effect process is terminated. In the process of S134, if the elapsed time after the start of the big prize opening effect has reached the production time (S134: Yes), the driving of the big prize opening vibration motor 114 is stopped (S135) and the big prize opening effect flag 33b. Is turned off (S136), and the process proceeds to S137.

  In addition, when it is confirmed that the variable display is not being performed in the process of S128 (S128: No), when it is confirmed that the reach display is not displayed in the variable display in the process of S129 (S129: No), Or, when it is confirmed that the special winning opening effect flag 33b is off (S130: No), the subsequent processing is skipped and other processing such as executing the variable display effect is performed (S137). ), This variation display setting process is terminated.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the big prize opening effect is executed based on the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a stored in the effect execution area 33c. Therefore, when a big prize opening effect is executed when a big win occurs, a big winning opening effect that vibrates one of the two big winning opening opening / closing plates 102 and 103, which is opened at the big hit, is vibrated. Can be performed as a suggestion effect, and it can be easily suggested to the player in advance whether a big jackpot or a probability variation jackpot will occur.

  The big prize opening effect flag 33b indicating whether or not to execute the special prize opening effect is that the data of the effect pattern stored in the effect execution area 33c is “2” or more, and execution of super reach is confirmed. In addition, it is turned on only when the value of the effect determination counter 33a is “2”. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the prize winning opening effect that the winning prize opening / closing plates 102 and 103 vibrate in a state where the expectation has increased due to the execution of the super reach, and the entertainment of the game by the prize winning opening effect is further enhanced. It is done. Even if the value of the effect determination counter 33a is “2” or more and super reach is executed, if the value of the effect determination counter 33a is not “2”, the big prize opening effect flag 33b is set. Since it is not turned on, it is possible to irregularly execute the grand prize opening effect with respect to the dynamic display effect performed on the LCD 3, and provide the player with an interest in expecting whether or not the big winning opening effect is executed. be able to.

  In the process of S131, it is not always necessary to make a determination based on the value of the jackpot symbol counter 123a, and the first corresponding to whether the production pattern data is “2” or “3”. The vibration of the big prize opening / closing plate 102 or the second big prize opening / closing plate 103 may be determined. The effect pattern data is set such that the larger the value is, the higher the probability of being selected in the jackpot effect selection table 122a, and the lower the probability of being selected in the loss effect selection table 122b. For this reason, the variation display in which the production pattern data is “3” has a higher probability that the data is set for the jackpot variation display than the variation display in “2”. By determining the winning prize opening / closing plate to be vibrated based on the data of the effect pattern, the probability (expected value) of subsequently winning a big hit can be made different depending on the winning prize opening / closing plate in which the winning prize opening effect is performed. . Therefore, when the big prize opening effect is executed, it is possible to make the player have a sense of expectation for different jackpots for each of the vibrated big prize opening opening / closing plates, and to further enhance the interest of the game.

  Further, in the processes of S132 and S133, a process of changing the rotation speed of the special winning opening vibrating motor 114 according to the data of the effect pattern may be added. It is possible to indicate whether it is a normal jackpot or a probability variation jackpot while showing an expected value in accordance with the vibration speed of each of the big prize opening / closing plates 102 and 103 by the big prize opening effect.

  Further, it is not always necessary to provide the processing of S129. When the variable display is being displayed (S128: Yes) and the special prize opening effect flag 33b is on (S130: Yes), before the reach display appears. The process after S131 may be performed to drive the special winning opening vibration motor 114 to execute the special winning opening effect. The big prize opening effect is executed before the reach display appears, and the player can be instructed to show the reach display.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment, the prize winning opening / closing plates 102 and 103 are operated by rotating the prize winning opening vibration motor 114 to operate the gear 108 and the swing member 109. However, in the third embodiment, instead of the big prize opening vibration motor 114, small vibration motors that vibrate themselves when energized are used as the big prize opening vibration motors 211 and 212.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram schematically showing the periphery of the special winning opening 201 in the pachinko machine of the third embodiment in cross-sectional view. As in the pachinko machine 100 of the second embodiment, the two big prize opening opening / closing plates 202 and 203 are arranged side by side in the top and bottom, and the first big winning opening opening / closing plate is on the upper side. 202 is provided, and a second big prize opening opening / closing plate 203 is provided on the lower side. Each of the special winning opening opening / closing plates 202 and 203 is supported swingably with respect to the game board by support shafts 202a and 203a projecting from both ends.

  On the inner surface side of these special winning opening opening / closing plates 202 and 203, a first large winning opening vibration motor 211 disposed in contact with the closed first large winning opening opening / closing plate 202 and a second large opening in the closed state. A second big prize opening vibration motor 212 disposed in contact with the prize opening opening / closing plate 203 is provided. Each of the big prize opening / closing plates 202 and 203 is separated from each of the big prize opening vibration motors 211 and 212 when a predetermined amount or more is opened, and this separated position is the opening of the big prize opening 201. It is set within a range where the width is smaller than the radius of the sphere and the sphere is not won.

  The two big winning opening vibration motors 211 and 212 are small vibration motors that are generally used for providing a mobile phone with a vibration function. An example of the vibration motor is one in which the center of gravity of the rotation shaft of the motor is eccentrically provided, and the motor itself vibrates when the center of gravity of the rotation shaft moves in conjunction with the rotation of the motor.

  These special winning opening vibration motors 211 and 212 are selectively operated at the same timing as the special winning opening vibration motor 114 is operated in the pachinko machine 100 of the second embodiment. That is, in the pachinko machine 100 of the second embodiment, at the timing when the big prize opening vibration motor 114 is driven in the forward direction, the first big prize opening vibration motor 211 that contacts the closed first big prize opening opening / closing plate 202 is provided. Operated. The first prize winning opening / closing plate 202 that contacts the first prize winning opening vibration motor 211 vibrates in the front-rear direction in conjunction with the operation of the first prize winning opening vibration motor 211. When the amount of vibration of the first prize winning opening / closing plate 202 exceeds a predetermined amount, the first prize winning opening vibration motor 211 and the first prize winning opening / closing plate 202 are separated from each other and vibration is not transmitted. However, the first big prize opening opening / closing plate 202 is returned to the closed position side by the action of a solenoid (not shown), and the vibration of the first big prize winning opening vibration motor 211 is transmitted again and starts to vibrate.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 100 of the second embodiment, the second big prize opening vibration motor 212 that contacts the closed second big prize opening opening / closing plate 203 at the timing when the big prize opening vibration motor 114 is driven in the reverse direction. Operated. The second prize winning opening / closing plate 203 that contacts the second prize winning opening vibration motor 212 vibrates in the front-rear direction in conjunction with the operation of the second prize winning opening vibration motor 212. When the amount of vibration of the second prize winning opening / closing plate 203 exceeds a predetermined amount, the second prize winning opening vibration motor 212 and the second prize winning opening / closing plate 203 are separated from each other and vibration is not transmitted. However, the second big prize opening opening / closing plate 203 is returned to the closed position side by the action of a solenoid (not shown), and the vibration of the second big prize opening vibration motor 212 is transmitted again and starts to vibrate.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine of the third embodiment, when the large winning opening opening / closing plates 202, 203 are opened by a predetermined amount or more, the large winning opening opening / closing plates 202, 203 are provided to operate. Since each of the big winning opening vibration motors 211 and 212 is separated from the big winning opening opening / closing plates 202 and 203 that are in contact with each other, the opening / closing operation of the big winning opening opening / closing plates 202 and 203 by the operation of the big winning opening vibration motor 211 or 212 is performed. Can be stopped by a predetermined amount. In addition, the separation positions of the big winning opening vibration motors 211 and 212 and the big winning opening opening / closing plates 202 and 203 are set within a range where the ball does not win, so that the big winning opening vibration motors 211 and 212 are erroneous. Even if it continues to operate, it is possible to reliably prevent extra ball winning due to the malfunction.

  The present invention has been described based on the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be easily made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It can be guessed.

  For example, in the first embodiment, the special game state (special game condition is specified on the condition that the special winning opening opening / closing plate 51 is opened after the vibration of the special winning opening opening / closing plate 51 which is one member forming the special winning opening 5. (Game value) is provided, but a special game state may be generated when an effect performed by the start port (ordinary electric accessory) 4 satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, as a success / failure effect to be executed based on a winning at the start port 4, after the effect of controlling the operation time of the ordinary electric accessory 4 to open / close (vibrate) the ordinary electric accessory 4 is performed, the open state The game may be a big hit when a stationary state is maintained for a certain time (for example, 10 seconds) to generate a special gaming state. On the other hand, at the time of losing, it is possible to perform an effect of closing the normal electric accessory 4 before the fixed time elapses after it is opened. A new game can be given to the player who plays the game by the production of the ordinary electric accessory 4 and, even in the case of losing, the prize ball is paid out by releasing the ordinary electric accessory 4 for a certain period of time. The interest to get can be granted. Further, an effect of opening and closing (vibrating) the ordinary electric accessory 4 may be performed instead of the suggestion effect by the big prize opening effect.

  Further, in the first embodiment, when the big prize opening effect is executed as the success / failure effect, the LCD 3 is displayed on the LCD 3 so that the player pays attention to the big winning hole 5. However, it is not always necessary to display “Look at the big prize opening” on the LCD 3, and the LCD 3 may display a variable display as in the conventional case. That is, there may be a case where the variable display effect and the big prize opening effect are executed simultaneously for a winning at one start port 4. While the jackpot is generated as a result of the prize winning effect, the display result of the variable display by the variable display effect is lost, so that the player can emphasize the jackpot due to the prize winning effect more emphasized. In addition, when generating the big hit by the big prize opening effect, control may be performed so that the display result of the variable display is also a big hit.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the main control board C is caused to control the big prize opening vibration motor 42 to execute the big prize opening effect, but the main control board C does not necessarily control the big prize opening effect. There is no need to control the prize winning effect using another board, for example, a display control board D, an audio lamp control board L, or a board provided exclusively for controlling the prize winning port vibration motor 42. You may let them. The burden on the main control board C that controls the entire game can be reduced, and the control speed can be improved and the reliability of the control can be increased.

  In each of the above embodiments, the big prize opening / closing plates 51, 102, 103 for opening / closing the big prize opening 5, 101 are vibrated to produce the big prize opening effect. It is not necessary that the effect of vibrating 102 and 103 be a grand prize opening effect, and an effect of moving the position of the special prize opening 5 or 101 in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction of the front view may be performed. In this case, for example, a big prize opening device in which members forming the big prize opening 5, 101 represented by the big prize opening / closing plates 51, 102, 103 are unitized is provided to be slidable with respect to the game board 1. The special prize opening device may be slid by controlling a dedicated solenoid or motor under the control of the main control board C to produce a special prize opening effect.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the jackpot after the winning effect is only one kind of jackpot that gives the special game state, but two or more jackpots having different game values given to the player are determined as the winning effect. It may be set as a later jackpot. For example, a jackpot in which only a special gaming state is granted after a jackpot (ordinary jackpot) and a certain period of time (for example, a period until the next jackpot occurs) after the special gaming state is granted have a high probability of occurrence. Two types of jackpots may be set, which are jackpots (probability variation jackpots) to which a probability variation state is assigned. In this case, a mode in which the grand prize opening opening / closing plate 51 vibrates corresponding to two or more types of jackpots is set, for example, a plurality of types of vibrations per unit time are set, and the big winning opening opening / closing plate 51 vibrates. Depending on the mode to be played, it may be suggested to the player which of the two or more jackpots will occur. Since the game value after the big hit can be suggested to the player as a part of the big prize opening production, the interest of the game by the big winning prize production can be further enhanced.

  In addition, when two or more types of jackpots are set as the jackpot after the winning or failing effect, it is not always necessary to determine which jackpot will be generated as a part of the winning jackpot effect. It may be suggested to the player which jackpot is generated by a member (for example, LCD 3 or a dedicated lamp) different from the member to be performed. By providing more members for performing effects, the range of effects that can be set can be expanded. In addition, the timing for informing the player which jackpot is in effect may be during the execution of the hit effect (before the jackpot is generated) or after the jackpot is generated. By suggesting which jackpot is during execution of the success / failure effect, it is possible to specify the game value given after the jackpot and make the player expect it. On the other hand, it may be an indication of which jackpot is after the jackpot has occurred, in which case the player can expect a high-value jackpot from among the jackpots after the jackpot has occurred, It is possible to provide the player with an interesting and high-value jackpot in stages.

  In the second embodiment, the prize winning opening vibration motor 114 is driven to execute the prize winning opening effect regardless of whether the display result after change is a big hit or not. It is also possible to make a setting for executing a big winning opening effect whenever a win is made. It is possible to frequently provide the player with an interest in which a specific game value is given after winning the big prize opening effect. In this case, the big winning opening vibration motor 114 is connected to the main control board C, and when the value of the random number counter 23b generates a big hit, the big winning opening vibration motor 114 is forcibly driven to produce the big winning opening effect. May be executed. In addition, the prize winning port vibration motor 114 is driven with a predetermined probability only for the fluctuation display in which the display result after change is a big hit, and if the display result after change is lost, the prize winning port vibration motor 114 is driven. It is good also as a setting which does not drive. The player can be convinced that the jackpot will be generated when the jackpot vibration motor 114 is driven and the jackpot effect is executed, and the player will have a sense of superiority to see the change display while knowing that the jackpot will be won. Can be granted.

  You may implement this invention in the pachinko machine etc. of a different type from the said Example. For example, once a big hit, a pachinko machine that raises the expected value of the big hit until a big hit state occurs (for example, two times or three times) including that (for example, a two-time right item, a three-time right item) May also be implemented. Moreover, after the jackpot symbol is displayed, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that enters a special game state under the condition that a ball is awarded in a predetermined area. Further, in addition to the pachinko machine, various game machines such as an alepacchi, a sparrow ball, a game machine in which a so-called pachinko machine and a slot machine are fused may be used.

  The modification of this invention is shown below. 2.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a predetermined condition determining unit that determines whether a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the anomaly operation executing unit determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied and the dynamic display of the identification information When the display state is highly likely to display a predetermined display result, it is determined that the second condition is satisfied, and the operation means is operated in an irregular manner. Game machine 2. When a display state that has a high possibility of displaying a predetermined display result appears, the player's expectation for giving game value increases, and the display state that increases the expectation is increased. The output is a condition for operating the operating means in an irregular manner. Therefore, since the player visually recognizes the operation means that operates in an irregular manner in a state where the expectation is increased, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the game. In addition, since the determination of establishment of the predetermined condition by the predetermined condition determination means is a necessary condition for the second condition, even if a display state appears with a high possibility of displaying a predetermined display result, it is not always necessary. The operating means does not operate in an irregular manner. Therefore, it is possible to provide the player with an interest in expecting whether or not the operation means operates in an irregular manner by rendering the operation means with respect to the effect of the variable display irregular.

  In the gaming machine 2, the display state in which the dynamic display of the identification information is likely to produce a predetermined display result is exemplified by, for example, a reach effect or a super reach effect. Further, as the predetermined condition determination means, for example, there are an effect determination counter 33a and an apparatus that establishes the predetermined condition when the value of the effect determination counter 33a is a predetermined value (branch of S124 in the second embodiment). Illustrated. Further, as the establishment of the first condition, for example, occurrence of a jackpot is exemplified.
