It is like that.

  The normal symbol display means 23 is for variably displaying normal symbols, and is composed of, for example, two light emitters (for example, LEDs) corresponding to two types of normal symbols “O” and “X”. On condition that the normal symbol starting means 18 composed of a gate or the like detects a game ball, the two light emitters blink alternately for a predetermined time, and the hit determination random number value acquired when the normal symbol starting means 18 detects the game ball In the state where the “◯” side illuminant corresponding to the hit mode emits light when it matches the predetermined hit determination value, and the “×” side illuminant corresponding to the off mode otherwise The flashing stops when is emitted.

  The special symbol starting means 19 is for starting the symbol change by the special symbol display means 24. When the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 23 becomes a hit state and the normal profit state occurs, the special symbol start means 19 opens and closes. The means 19a is configured to change from the closed state to the open state for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times.

  The special symbol display means 24 is composed of one or a plurality of display means such as a seven-segment type capable of variably displaying one special symbol. For example, the special symbol starting means 19 receives a winning game ball. The special symbol is displayed in a variable manner for a predetermined period of time, and the jackpot determination random number acquired when winning the special symbol starter 19 matches the predetermined jackpot determination value. In the case of, it stops in a disengagement mode.

  When a big hit state occurs based on the fact that the stop symbol after fluctuation of the special symbol display means 24 becomes a big hit mode, the open / close plate 20a of the big winning means 20 opens to the front side according to a predetermined opening pattern and falls on it. Game balls are awarded to the inside.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a back cover 31 that covers game parts such as the center case 17 from the rear side is mounted on the back side of the game board 14, and a main control board 32 a is provided on the back side of the back cover 31.

  Further, a substrate mounting table 41 is detachably mounted on the lower part of the back side of the front frame 3. On the back side of the substrate mounting table 41, a power supply substrate case 42 in which a power supply substrate 42a is stored, and a payout control substrate 43a. Are respectively detachably mounted.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of the control system of the pachinko machine. The main control board (main control means) 32a controls the progress of the game. The normal symbol display means 23, the special symbol display means 24, the normal symbol start means 18, the special symbol start means 19 on the game board 14, The big winning means 20, the normal winning means 21 and the like are connected via, for example, a relay board (not shown) and the like, and in the lower level, effect control such as voice output and LED light emission is performed based on a command from the main control board 32a. An effect control board 33a to be performed (effect control means), a liquid crystal control board 34a for controlling the liquid crystal display means 22 based on a command from the effect control board 33a, and a payout means 38 based on a command from the main control board 32a. Dispensing control board 43a, and a firing control board 10a for controlling the firing means 10 based on a firing control signal from the dispensing control board 43a, etc. There has been connected.

  The effect control board 33a receives a disaster signal transmitted from a command receiving means 44 for receiving a command from the main control board 32a, a command transmitting means 45 for sending a command to the liquid crystal control board 34a, etc., a hall computer 46, etc. Production control processing means 49 for controlling production by production means such as disaster signal reception means 48, speaker (sound output means) 8, LED boards (light emission means) 7a, 27a, liquid crystal display means 22, etc. received via the interface board 47. A disaster processing means 50 that performs disaster processing based on a disaster signal, a guide image setting means 51 that sets a guide image to be described later, and the like are provided.

  Here, the hall computer 46 is connected to an alarm receiver 53 and a fire alarm 54 that can receive an alarm such as an earthquake early warning, for example, and an alarm signal from the alarm receiver 53 and the fire alarm 54, Alternatively, the transmission of the disaster signal is started based on the operation input of the game shop clerk, and the transmission of the disaster signal is continued until, for example, an alarm release operation is performed. A plurality of types of disaster signals may be provided according to the types of disasters such as fires and earthquakes, or one type may be used regardless of the type of disaster.

  In addition to the production means such as the speaker 8 and the LED boards 7a and 27a that are the control targets, the production control board 33a is connected to a setting operation means 55 and the like for performing a guidance image setting operation. The setting operation means 55 is provided, for example, on the effect control board 33 a as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, and can be operated from the outside of the effect board case 33.

  The effect control processing means 49 is configured to execute the effect control process shown in FIG. 4 for each periodic interruption, for example. In this effect control process (FIG. 4), it is first determined whether or not an effect command has been received from the main control board 32a (S1). If no effect command has been received (S1: No), the effect control is performed here. The process ends.

  When it is determined that the production command has been received (S1: Yes), the state of the disaster flag is subsequently determined (S2). Here, the disaster flag indicates whether or not evacuation recommendation processing is being performed by receiving a disaster signal. As will be described later, the disaster processing means 50 turns ON during evacuation recommendation processing by receiving a disaster signal. In other cases, it is set to OFF.

  If it is determined in S2 that the disaster flag is OFF, normal effect processing is performed based on the received effect command. That is, for example, if the received effect command is a variation start command, for example, by transmitting a predetermined command to the liquid crystal control board 34a, the variation display of the effect symbol is started on the liquid crystal display means 22, and the speaker 8 A sound effect corresponding to the variation display of the effect symbol is output, and the LEDs of the LED boards 7a and 27a emit light in a pattern corresponding to the variation display of the effect symbol.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S2 that the disaster flag is ON, the effect control process ends without performing the effect process corresponding to the received effect command. Thus, when the disaster flag is turned ON, the effect corresponding to the effect command received after that is not executed.

  The disaster processing means 50 is configured to execute the disaster processing shown in FIG. 5 for each periodic interruption, for example. In the disaster processing (FIG. 5), first, the disaster signal reception status from the hall computer 46 by the disaster signal receiving means 48 is determined (S11, S16). If it is determined that the reception of the disaster signal is started (S11: Yes), the disaster flag is set to ON (S12), and a predetermined evacuation recommendation process is started (S13 to S15).

  That is, for example, by transmitting a predetermined command to the liquid crystal control board 34a, the display of the evacuation recommendation image is started instead of the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display means 22 at that time (S13), and the speaker The audio output from 8 and the light emission of the LED are stopped (S14, S15).

  Here, the evacuation advisory image displayed on the liquid crystal display means 22 is a notification image that informs the occurrence of a disaster such as “Fire is out!” And indirectly prompts evacuation, “It is a fire! Please evacuate”, etc. Direct instructions for evacuation instructions, such as “Please evacuate to the right”, “Evacuate from the left emergency exit”, “Escape in the → direction”, and specifically indicate the direction of evacuation and the location of the emergency exit Guide images to be guided can be considered, but it is desirable to combine them appropriately. Further, when the disaster signal varies depending on the type of disaster, it is desirable to vary the type of the notification image or the like according to the disaster signal.

  In this way, when a disaster signal is received, the evacuation advisory image is displayed on the liquid crystal display means 22 that can easily be seen by the player, so that the player can be surely informed of the occurrence of the disaster and urged to evacuate. . In addition, after the disaster signal is received, the normal performance is stopped, so that the player cannot practically continue the game, and the progress of the game by the main control board 32a is forcibly stopped by shutting off the power supply etc. It is possible to prevent the player from continuing the game by ignoring the evacuation instruction.

  Further, since the LED is turned off, the evacuation recommendation image on the liquid crystal display means 22 can be made more conspicuous, and further, since the voice output is stopped, it is easy to hear the alarm sound by the fire alarm 54, the guidance announcement in the hall, etc. It is possible to guide the evacuation of the player more reliably.

  If a guidance image is included in the evacuation advisory image, an appropriate guidance image will be displayed according to the placement in the gaming hall where the gaming machine is installed and the placement position and orientation of the gaming machine in the gaming hall. Must be set. This guidance image can be set, for example, by operating the setting operation means 55 after the gaming machine is installed in the game hall. When the setting operation unit 55 is operated, a predetermined guide image is set by the guide image setting unit 51 based on the operation.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the setting operation means 55 is configured to be able to select the direction of the evacuation route such as “left” and “right” by, for example, a dial operation or the like. Based on the direction selected in 55, it is configured to select and set one of a plurality of types of guidance images such as “Please evacuate to the left”, “Please evacuate to the right”, etc. Yes.

  As described above, when it is determined that the reception of the disaster signal is finished after the reception of the disaster signal is started and the evacuation recommendation process is started (S16: Yes), the disaster flag is set to OFF. (S17), the evacuation recommendation process that has been continued is terminated (S18 to S20). That is, for example, by transmitting a predetermined command to the liquid crystal control board 34a, the display of the evacuation recommendation image displayed on the liquid crystal display means 22 is terminated and the display of the normal effect image is resumed (S18), and the speaker The sound output from 8 and the light emission of the LED are resumed (S19, S20).

  Here, the display of the effect image on the liquid crystal display means 22 after the reception of the disaster signal, the sound output from the speaker 8 and the light emission of the LED were received from the main control board 32a after the reception of the disaster signal was completed. What is necessary is just to restart based on a production command. In parallel with the evacuation recommendation process, the process of grasping the progress status of the normal performance that has been executed if the disaster signal is not being received is also performed based on the production command from the main control board 32a even during the reception of the disaster signal. If performed, it is also possible to resume the normal performance from the time when reception of the disaster signal is completed.

  As described above, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment is configured not to execute the rendering operation corresponding to the rendering command from the main control board 32a during the evacuation recommendation processing by the rendering control means 33a. When the processing is started, the player can practically not continue the game, and the same effect is achieved without forcibly stopping the progress of the game by the main control board 32a by shutting off the power supply, that is, the player can It is possible to ignore the evacuation instruction and prevent the game from continuing. Moreover, since the game progress by the main control board 32a can be continued unless a power failure occurs, it can be immediately restored to the original state when a short-time disaster signal is issued due to misinformation, There is an advantage that unnecessary confusion in the game hall can be prevented.

  In addition, since the production control board 33a is configured to display an evacuation recommendation image on the liquid crystal display means 22 as an evacuation recommendation process, the player can be surely informed of the occurrence of a disaster and urged to evacuate. In addition, while the evacuation recommendation image is displayed on the liquid crystal display means 22, all the light emitting means other than the liquid crystal display means 22, that is, the LEDs of the LED boards 7a and 27a are turned off. The evacuation advisory content can be more clearly communicated by the player and the sound output from the speaker 8 is also stopped, making it easy to hear alarm sounds from the fire alarm 54 and guidance announcements in the hall. Thus, the evacuation guidance of the player can be performed more reliably.

  Furthermore, the evacuation advisory image includes a guidance image for guiding the player to the evacuation route, and the guidance image can be set by an external operation. Therefore, the layout in the gaming hall where the gaming machine is installed, It is possible to appropriately set the guidance image according to the position and orientation of the gaming machine in the gaming hall.

  FIG. 7 exemplifies the second embodiment of the present invention, partially changes the configuration of the effect control board 33a according to the first embodiment, and displays the evacuation recommendation image by the liquid crystal display means 22 as evacuation recommendation processing. An example in which an alarm sound is output from the speaker 8 is shown.

  That is, in the disaster processing by the effect control board 33a of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, when the reception of the disaster signal is started (S11: Yes), the evacuation recommendation image to the liquid crystal display means 22 is displayed. When the display is started (S13) and the alarm sound is output from the speaker 8 (S14a), and the reception of the disaster signal is completed (S16: Yes), the evacuation recommendation image is displayed on the liquid crystal display means 22. Is finished (S18), and the output of the alarm sound from the speaker 8 is finished (S19a). By configuring as described above, there is an advantage that the player can surely recognize the evacuation recommendation by vision and hearing.

  FIG. 8 illustrates the third embodiment of the present invention, and changes the configuration of the effect control board 33a according to the first and second embodiments, and stores information related to the effect command received during the evacuation recommendation process. An example configured to do this is shown.

  That is, in the effect control process of the effect control board 33a of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when an effect command is received from the main control board 32a (S1: Yes), if the disaster flag is ON, the reception is received. The information of the effect command that has been performed is sequentially stored in a predetermined storage area (S4). Then, the production command stored while the disaster flag is ON is liquid crystal based on a predetermined external operation such as an operation of a dedicated button provided on the production control board 33a after the disaster flag is turned OFF. The information can be output to display means such as the display means 22.

  Thus, a player who has temporarily evacuated in accordance with the evacuation advisory process can know, for example, whether a jackpot has occurred during the evacuation by confirming the effect command transmitted during the evacuation later. , Evacuation behavior can be taken promptly without worrying about the gaming state after evacuation. The stored production command may be deleted at a predetermined timing such as when the power is turned off next time.

  FIG. 9 illustrates the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The configuration of the first to third embodiments is partially changed, and the evacuation recommendation including the effect control board 33a after the power supply from the main power supply is interrupted. An example is shown in which a backup power supply 61 is provided to supply power to each unit necessary for execution of processing.

  The backup power supply 61 may be provided on the effect control board 33a or may be provided outside the effect control board 33a. The power supply destination of the backup power supply 61 is the effect control board 33a, the liquid crystal control board 34a, and the liquid crystal display means 22. The liquid crystal control board 34a and the liquid crystal display means 22 are supplied with electric power, for example, via the effect control board 33a. It is configured to supply. Of course, power may be supplied individually from the backup power supply 61 to the effect control board 33a, the liquid crystal control board 34a, and the liquid crystal display means 22.

  The backup power supply 61 is configured to operate on the condition that the disaster signal receiving means 48 has received the disaster signal, and when the main power is turned off in a normal state where no disaster signal is received. The power supply to the effect control board 33a and the like by the backup power supply 61 is not performed. The backup power supply 61 preferably has a capacity capable of maintaining the display of the evacuation recommendation image on the liquid crystal display means 22 for at least several tens of seconds, preferably for several minutes.

  With the above configuration, evacuation recommendation processing can be performed for a certain time even when a power failure occurs due to a disaster such as a fire or an earthquake. Moreover, since the backlight of the liquid crystal display means 22 serves as an emergency light, the player can be safely evacuated even in the darkness of a power failure.

  10 and 11 exemplify the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the gaming machine main body 1 is provided with a foot lamp 62 that illuminates the front lower part, and the effect control board 33a is used as the first to fourth evacuation recommendation processes. In addition to the display of the evacuation recommendation image on the liquid crystal display means 22 shown in the embodiment, an example in which the foot lamp 62 is turned on is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the foot lamp 62 can irradiate light on the lower part of the storage tray 11, the front lower part of the gaming machine main body 1, that is, the floor surface of the part that becomes an evacuation passage when the player evacuates. In the position. Further, the position of the foot lamp 62 may be a position where the floor surface can be reliably irradiated with light, and other than the lower side of the storage tray 11, for example, the lower end side of the launch handle 12, the upper side of the gaming machine body 1, etc. Good. In addition, what is necessary is just to provide in the at least one lower side of these upper plates and a lower plate, when the storage plate which stores a game ball is divided into the upper plate and the lower plate.

  In the case of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, it is necessary to provide a backup power supply 61 as in the fourth embodiment and supply the power to the foot lamp 62 as well. This is because the foot lamp 62 is effective when a power failure occurs and the inside of the game hall becomes dark. In this case, the foot lamp 62 may be turned on only when the power supply from the main power supply is interrupted.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, the evacuation recommendation process only needs to include a process for displaying an evacuation recommendation image on display means disposed on, for example, the game board 14 on the front side of the gaming machine body 1, and the display means is other than the liquid crystal display means 22. Any type of display means may be used.

  In the embodiment, the light emitting means other than the image display means 22 are all turned off during the evacuation recommendation process. However, for example, the light emission pattern for the evacuation recommendation process may be emitted.

  Setting operation means 55 capable of inputting arbitrary characters, figures, and the like may be provided, and the guide image setting means 51 may be configured to be able to set a guide image using the characters and figures input by the setting operation means 55. In addition, an external input unit capable of inputting data from the outside such as a USB terminal or a memory card reader is provided, and a guide image setting unit 51 for setting a guide image is used for image data and text input via the external input unit. You may comprise so that a guidance image can be set using data.

  The disaster signal may be received directly from the fire alarm 54 or the like instead of from the hall computer 46. Further, a sensor for detecting smoke or flame may be provided in the gaming machine main body 1, and a disaster signal may be received from the sensor.

  In the embodiment, the disaster signal from the hall computer 46 or the like is continuously transmitted until it is canceled. However, the disaster signal is transmitted when the disaster occurs, and the disaster cancellation signal is transmitted when the disaster signal is canceled. You may do it. In this case, the disaster processing shown in FIG. 5 and the like may be configured such that the disaster flag is turned ON when the disaster signal is received and the disaster flag is turned OFF when the disaster release signal is received.

  In addition, the disaster signal should have various information related to the disaster that occurred, such as the type of disaster such as fire or earthquake, evacuation route, evacuation direction, location of fire in case of fire, seismic intensity in case of earthquake, etc. The evacuation recommendation process may be performed based on the information. For example, a disaster signal corresponding to the various information on a one-to-one basis is output from the hall computer 46 or the like, and a plurality of types of evacuation recommendations corresponding to the various disaster signals are sent to the effect control means (effect control board) 33a. It is conceivable that the image is stored in advance, and when a disaster signal is received, a corresponding evacuation recommendation image is selected and displayed.

  In the embodiment, the liquid crystal control board 34a is arranged between the effect control board 33a and the liquid crystal display means 22. However, the liquid crystal display means 22 may be directly controlled from the effect control board 33a. The effect control board 33a may be connected to the main control board 32a, the liquid crystal control board 34a, various effect means, and the like via an interface board.

  Further, in the embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko machine has been shown. However, the present invention is similarly applied to various game machines other than a ball machine such as a slot machine as well as other ball machines such as an arrange ball machine. It can be implemented.
