  The power management unit 660 converts the AC power supplied from the outside to the pachinko machine 100 into a direct current, converts the power into a predetermined voltage, and converts each control unit such as the main control unit 300 and the first sub control unit 400, the dispensing device, etc. Supply to the device. Further, the power management unit 660 supplies a power storage circuit (for example, a power supply circuit) for supplying power to a predetermined part (for example, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300) for a predetermined period (for example, 10 days) even after the external power supply is cut off. , Capacitor). In the present embodiment, a predetermined voltage is supplied from the power management unit 660 to the payout control unit 600 and the second sub control unit 500, and the main control unit 300, the second sub control unit 500, and the launch control unit are supplied from the payout control unit 600. Although a predetermined voltage is supplied to 630, the predetermined voltage may be supplied to each control unit and each device through another power supply path.

  Next, the movable member with a cooling function, which is a characteristic part of the present invention, will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a positional relationship between the game board 200 and the movable accessory 700 with a cooling function. As shown in FIG. 4, the movable accessory 700 with a cooling function moves to the front of the decorative symbol display device 208 when a predetermined performance execution condition is satisfied, and performs various effects such as rotational movement and light emission control. Executed. Further, when the production is not performed, it moves to the standby position on the back side of the 7-segment production device 190, the production operation is not performed, and the cooling operation or the like is performed. Details will be described later.

  FIG. 5 is an exploded view and a sectional view of the movable member 700 with a cooling function.

  FIG. 5A is a perspective view of the rotating unit 701. The rotating part 701 includes a surface lens part 702 made of a transparent resin and provided with a pattern on the surface side of the rotating base 711, and an outer fin 703 that disturbs the surrounding air. The outer fins 703 are provided in a direction slightly shifted from the rotational direction in order to increase the disturbance effect.

  FIG. 5B is a rear view of the rotating unit 701. In the rotating portion 701, a rib 712 is provided in a ring shape on a rotating base 711, an outer fin 703 is provided outside the rib 712, and an inner fin 704 is provided inside the rib 712. The outer fin 703 cools the rendering device and the winning device around the movable accessory 700 with a cooling function, and the inner fin 704 cools a light source and the like built in the movable accessory 700 with a cooling function. Further, a hole 705 for releasing the air in the rib to the outside is provided.

  FIG. 5C is a cross-sectional view of the movable accessory 700 with a cooling function. In the rotating part 701, a lamp substrate 706 and a lamp 707 are provided on the lamp substrate. The rotating unit 701 has a shaft connected to the motor 708. When the rotation of the motor 708 is controlled, the rotating unit 701 also rotates in synchronization. Therefore, the heat released from the lamp causes the inner fin 713 to disturb the internal air as the rotating base 711 rotates, and the air is exchanged through the gap between the rotating base 711 and the motor 708 so that the internal heat is transferred to the outside. Released and cooled.

  As shown in FIG. 5D, the inner fin 704 may be provided on the back side of the flat portion of the rotation base 704.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the movable form of the movable accessory 700 with a cooling function. As shown in FIG. 6A, the movable accessory 700 with a cooling function stands by at a position where the player in the rendering device 206 is not visible in the initial state when the power is turned on. When this standby state is viewed from the back side, it becomes as shown in FIG. 6B, and a rotating part 701 is attached to one end of the arm part 709 of the movable accessory 700 with a cooling function, and a driving device 721 is attached to the other end. . Then, when a predetermined gaming state is reached and the driving condition of the movable accessory 700 with the cooling function is satisfied, the driving device 721 is activated as shown in FIGS. The movement starts so as to overlap with the device 208, and finally stops at a position completely overlapping with the decorative symbol display device. This position is hereinafter referred to as an effect position.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the positional relationship between the operation of the movable accessory with cooling function 700 and the surrounding effect device, and is a cross-sectional view of the game board 200. FIG. 7A is a diagram showing a case where the movable accessory 700 with a cooling function is in the standby position. The 7-segment effect device 190 and the cover body 730 provided above the decorative symbol display device 208 are shown. This is a state where the movable accessory 700 with a cooling function is stored in the gap. Here, when the accessory with cooling function 700 performs a cooling operation, the heat generated from the 7-segment effect device 190 and the heat rising from the decorative symbol display device 208 are diffused to the surroundings. Further, if the cover body 730 is provided with the vent 731, the range of the cooling effect can be expanded to the inside of the effect device 206. In addition, since the movable player 700 with the cooling function in the standby position cannot be visually recognized by the player, there is no need to perform an effect by light emission. When the movable actor 700 with the cooling function is operated at the standby position, the lamp 707 is used. If only the cooling function is activated without emitting light, the amount of heat dissipated can be reduced, and an efficient cooling operation can be performed. Then, when the cooling function movable actor 700 is moved to the effect position from this standby position, the state shown in FIG. 7B is obtained, and the cooling function accessory 700 performs the effect operation by rotating the lamp 707 and performs the cooling operation. Do.

  Thus, efficient production and cooling operation can be performed by separately controlling the production (light emission) operation and the cooling operation according to the position of the movable accessory 700 with the cooling function.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 8 is a front view of a game board 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the movable accessory 750 with the second cooling device is arranged at a position where the player on the right side of the effect device 206 can visually recognize. When the second cooling device-equipped movable accessory 750 is determined to perform an effect operation according to a predetermined condition, it starts rotating, and when the rotation stops, the area stopped at the position of the determining needle 751 is “BAD”, The jackpot reliability is reported according to whether it is “CHANCE”, “BAD”, or “COOL”.

  FIG. 9A is an exploded perspective view of the movable accessory 750 with the second cooling function. The movable member 750 with the second cooling function includes an effect rotation plate 754 formed of a transparent resin with an annular gear portion around the drive portion, and a transmission gear 765 for driving the rotation of the effect rotation plate 754 to rotate. Effect motor 764 that transmits via LED, LED board 755 provided with a large number of LEDs 756, a ventilation plate 757 provided with a large number of ventilation holes 758, a blower plate 760 provided with a large number of blower fins 761 on the disk surface, and a blower plate It is comprised with the ventilation motor 763 which rotationally drives 760. FIG. In order to fix the rotational position of the driving unit, a rotating plate fixing unit 752 including a stepped receiving plate unit 766 having an opening at the center is provided.

  FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view of the movable accessory 750 with the second cooling function. The effect rotation plate 754 is fitted in the receiving plate portion 766 of the rotation plate fixing portion 752 and is driven to rotate by the effect motor 764. On the rear side, the LED board 755 and the ventilation plate 757 are fixed by fixing pins 766, and both members are fixed to the rotating plate fixing portion 752 by fixing screws 767. Further on the rear side, a blower plate 760 provided with blower fins 761 is connected to a blower motor 763 and driven to rotate. Accordingly, the wind generated by the rotation of the air blowing plate cools the LED substrate 755 and the LED 756 provided on the LED substrate 755 through the ventilation hole 758 provided in the ventilation plate 750. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect rotation plate 754 and the blower plate 760 can be driven separately, so that each rotation plate can be driven and controlled as necessary.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a driving mode of the movable accessory 750 with the second cooling function. As shown in FIG. 10A, since the effect rotation plate 754 is formed of a transparent resin, the LED 756 provided on the back surface can be visually recognized from the player side. When the driving force is transmitted from the transmission gear 765, as shown in FIG. 10B, the effect rotation plate 754 rotates, and the light from the LED 756 is diffused to enhance the effect. On the other hand, when the blower motor 763 (not shown) is driven, the wind sent from the blow fins 761 cools the LED 756 and the like through the ventilation holes 758 as shown in FIG.

  Next, the control processing of the pachinko machine 100 will be described using FIGS. 11 to 14.

<Main control unit main processing>
First, the main control unit main process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit.

  As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 340 that outputs the start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which this activation signal has been input performs reset start by a reset interrupt, and executes main control unit main processing shown in FIG. 6 in accordance with a control program stored in advance in the ROM 306.

  In step SA01, initial setting 1 is performed. In this initial setting 1, setting of a stack initial value (temporary setting) to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of an interrupt mask, initial setting of the I / O 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, to the WDT 314 The operation is permitted and the initial value is set. In the present embodiment, a numerical value corresponding to 32.8 ms is set in WDT 314 as an initial value.

  In step SA03, the counter value of WDT 314 is cleared, and the time measurement by WDT 314 is restarted.

  In step SA05, whether or not the low voltage signal is ON, that is, the voltage value of the power source supplied from the power management unit 660 to the main control unit 300 by the voltage monitoring circuit 338 is a predetermined value (in this embodiment). 9v), it is monitored whether or not a low voltage signal indicating that the voltage has dropped is output. If the low voltage signal is on (when the CPU 304 detects that the power supply is cut off), the process returns to step SA03. If the low voltage signal is off (if the CPU 304 does not detect that the power supply is cut off), the step returns. Proceed to SA07. Even if the predetermined value (9 V) is not yet reached immediately after the power is turned on, the process returns to step SA03, and step SA05 is repeatedly executed until the supply voltage becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined value.

  In step SA07, initial setting 2 is performed. In this initial setting 2, a process for setting a numerical value for determining a cycle for executing a main control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, in the counter timer 312 and a predetermined port of the I / O 310 (for example, a test output port, A process of outputting a clear signal from the output port to the first sub control unit 400, a setting for permitting writing to the RAM 308, and the like are performed.

  In step SA09, it is determined whether or not to return to the state before the power interruption (before the power interruption), and the state before the power interruption is not restored (when the basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 is set to the initial state). ) Proceeds to an initialization process (step SA13).

  Specifically, first, whether or not the RAM clear signal transmitted when a store clerk or the like of the game shop operates the RWM clear switch provided on the power supply board is on (indicating that there is an operation), That is, it is determined whether or not RAM clear is necessary. If the RAM clear signal is on (RAM clear is necessary), the process proceeds to step SA13 to set the basic circuit 302 to the initial state. On the other hand, when the RAM clear signal is OFF (when the RAM clear is not necessary), the power status information stored in the power status storage area provided in the RAM 308 is read, and the power status information is information indicating suspend. It is determined whether or not. If the power status information is not information indicating suspend, the process proceeds to step SA13 to set the basic circuit 302 to an initial state. If the power status information is information indicating suspend, a predetermined area of the RAM 308 is set. A checksum is calculated by adding all the 1-byte data stored in (for example, all areas) to a 1-byte register whose initial value is 0, and the calculated checksum results in a specific value (for example, 0) (whether or not the checksum result is normal). If the checksum result is a specific value (eg, 0) (if the checksum result is normal), the process proceeds to step SA11 to return to the state before the power interruption, and the checksum result is a specific value. If the value is other than 0 (for example, 0) (if the result of the checksum is abnormal), the process proceeds to step SA13 to set the pachinko machine 100 to the initial state. Similarly, when the power status information indicates information other than “suspend”, the process proceeds to step SA13.

  In step SA11, power recovery processing is performed. In this power recovery process, the value of the stack pointer stored in the stack pointer save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power failure is read out and reset to the stack pointer (this setting). In addition, the value of each register stored in the register save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power interruption is read out and reset in each register, and then the interrupt permission is set. Thereafter, as a result of the CPU 304 executing the control program based on the reset stack pointer and registers, the pachinko machine 100 returns to the state when the power is turned off. That is, the processing is restarted from the instruction next to the instruction (predetermined in step SA15) performed immediately before branching to the timer interrupt processing (described later) immediately before the power interruption. A RAM 308 mounted on the basic circuit 302 in the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 4 is provided with a transmission information storage area. In step SA11, a power recovery command is set in the transmission information storage area. This power recovery command is a command indicating that the power has been restored to the state at the time of power interruption, and is transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 in step SB33 in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300, which will be described later.

  In step SA13, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization process, interrupt prohibition setting, stack initial value setting to the stack pointer (this setting), initialization of all storage areas of the RAM 308, and the like are performed. Further, here, a normal return command is set in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. This normal return command is a command indicating that the initialization process (step SA13) of the main control unit 300 has been performed. Like the power recovery command, the normal return command is the first command in step SB33 in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300. 1 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400.

  In step SA15, after setting for prohibition of interruption, a basic random number initial value update process is performed. In this basic random number initial value update process, two initial value generation random number counters for generating the initial values of the ordinary figure winning random number counter and the special figure random value counter, the ordinary figure timer random number value, and the special figure timer, respectively. Two random number counters for generating each random value are updated. For example, if the range of values that can be taken as a normal timer random number value is 0 to 100, a value is acquired from a random number counter storage area for generating a normal timer random value provided in the RAM 308, and 1 is added to the acquired value. Then, it is stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 101, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. Other initial value generation random number counters and random number counters are similarly updated. The initial value generation random number counter is also updated in step SB07 described later.

  The main control unit 300 repeatedly executes the process of step SA15 except during a timer interrupt process that starts every predetermined period.

<Main control unit timer interrupt processing>
Next, a main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt process.

  The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, about once every 2 ms), and the main control unit timer interrupt is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. The process is started at a predetermined cycle.

  In step SB01, timer interrupt start processing is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving each register value of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

  In step SB03, the WDT is periodically updated (so that the count value of the WDT 314 exceeds the initial setting value (32.8 ms in the present embodiment) and no WDT interrupt occurs (so as not to detect a processing abnormality). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every about 2 ms, which is the period of the main control unit timer interrupt.

  In step SB05, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port state update process, detection signals from various sensors 318 including the above-described front frame door open sensor, inner frame open sensor, lower pan full sensor, and various ball detection sensors are input via the input port of the I / O 310. The input is monitored for the presence or absence of a detection signal, and stored in a signal state storage area provided for each sensor 318 in the RAM 308. If the detection signal of the sphere detection sensor is described as an example, information on the presence / absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected in the timer interruption process (about 4 ms before) is stored in the RAM 308 for each sphere detection sensor. This information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area partitioned and stored in the RAM 308 in the previous detection signal storage area partitioned for each sphere detection sensor, and the previous timer interrupt processing (about 2 ms before) ) Is read from the current detection signal storage area provided for each sphere detection sensor in the RAM 308, and this information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area described above. To remember. Further, the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected this time is stored in the above-described current detection signal storage area.

  In step SB05, the information on the presence / absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor stored in each storage area of the detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area is compared. It is determined whether or not the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in the ball detection sensor matches the winning determination pattern information. This main control unit timer interrupt process that is repeatedly started at a very short interval of about 2 ms while one game ball passes one ball detection sensor is started several times. For this reason, every time the main control unit timer interruption process is started, in the above-described step SB05, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is confirmed. As a result, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is stored in each of the detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area. That is, when the game ball starts to pass through the ball detection sensor, there is no detection signal before, a previous detection signal, and a current detection signal. In the present embodiment, in consideration of erroneous detection of the sphere detection sensor and noise, it is determined that there is a prize when the detection signal is stored twice continuously after no detection signal. The ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 3 stores winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, information indicating that there is no previous detection signal, that there is a previous detection signal, and that there is a current detection signal). In this step SB05, information on presence / absence of detection signals for the past three times in each sphere detection sensor is predetermined winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, no previous detection signal, previous detection signal, current detection signal present). In the case of the general winning port 226, the variable winning port 234, the first special figure starting port 230, and the second special figure starting port 232, or the ordinary drawing starting port 228. Is determined to have passed. In other words, it is determined that there has been a winning at these winning ports 234, 230 and the starting ports 230, 232, 228. For example, when the information on the presence / absence of the detection signals for the past three matches with the above-described winning determination pattern information in the general winning opening sensor for detecting the winning at the general winning opening 226, there is a winning at the general winning opening 226. If the information on the presence / absence of detection signals for the past three times does not match the above-described winning determination pattern information, the subsequent general winnings are performed. The process branches to the subsequent process without performing the process associated with winning the prize to the mouth 226. Note that the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 stores winning determination clear pattern information (in this embodiment, information indicating that there is a detection signal before the previous time, no previous detection signal, and no current detection signal). After it is determined that there has been a single win, it is not determined that there has been a win until the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times matches the winning determination clear pattern information in each ball detection sensor, and the winning determination is cleared. If it matches the pattern information, it is next determined whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information.

  In step SB07 and step SB09, a basic random number initial value update process and a basic random number update process are performed. In these basic random number initial value update processing and basic random number update processing, the value of the initial value generation random number counter performed in step SA15 is updated, and then the normal winning random number value used in the main control unit 300, Two random number counters for generating the special figure 1 random value and the special figure 2 random value are updated. For example, if the range of values that can be taken as a random number value for a normal winning number is 0 to 100, a value is acquired from a random number counter storage area for generating a normal winning random number value provided in the RAM 308, and 1 is added to the acquired value. Then, it is stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 101, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. If it is determined that the random number counter has made a round as a result of adding 1 to the acquired value, the value of the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to each random number counter is acquired and stored in the storage area of the random number counter. set. For example, a value is acquired from a random number counter for generating a regular winning random number that fluctuates in a numerical range of 0 to 100, and a result obtained by adding 1 to the acquired value is stored in a predetermined initial value storage area provided in the RAM 308. If the value is equal to the previously set initial value (for example, 7), the value is acquired as an initial value from the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the random number counter for generating the random number for winning the normal number, The initial value set this time is stored in the above-described initial value storage area in order to determine that the random number counter for generating the winning random number value has made one round next time, in addition to setting it in the random number counter for generating the winning random value Keep it. Further, apart from the above-described initial value storage area for determining that the random number counter for generating the random number for winning the normal signal has made one round next, it is determined that the random number counter for generating the special figure random number has made one round. An initial value storage area is provided in the RAM 308. In the present embodiment, the counter for acquiring the random number value of FIG. 1 and the counter for acquiring the random value of FIG. 2 are separately provided, but the same counter may be used.

  In step SB11, effect random number update processing is performed. In this effect random number update process, a random number counter for generating an effect random number used by the main control unit 300 is updated.

  In step SB13, timer update processing is performed. In this timer update process, the normal symbol display symbol update timer for timing the time for the symbol to be changed / stopped on the normal symbol display device 210, and the time for the symbol to be changed / stopped to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 212 are timed. Special symbol 1 display symbol update timer for performing, special symbol 2 display symbol update timer for measuring the time for the symbol to be changed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 214, a predetermined winning effect time, a predetermined opening time Various timers including a timer for measuring a predetermined closing time, a predetermined end effect period, and the like are updated.

  In step SB15, winning prize counter updating processing is performed. In this winning opening counter updating process, when winning holes 226, 260 and starting holes 230, 232, 228 are won, the RAM 308 stores the winning ball number storage area provided for each winning hole or for each starting hole. The value is read out, 1 is added, and the original prize ball number storage area is set.

  In step SB17, a winning acceptance process is performed. In this winning acceptance process, it is determined whether or not there has been a winning at the first special figure starting port 230, the second special figure starting port 232, the ordinary drawing starting port 228, and the variable winning port 234. Here, the determination is made using the determination result of whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information in step SB03. When a winning is made to the first special figure starting port 230 and the corresponding reserved number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, the value is stored in the special counter value storage register of the counter circuit 316. And a value from the random number counter for generating the special figure 1 random value as a special figure 1 random value and storing it in the corresponding random value storage area. When a winning is made to the second special figure starting port 232 and the corresponding holding number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, the value is sent from the winning counter value storage register of the counter circuit 316 to the special figure 2 winning random number value. And a value from the random number counter for generating the special figure 2 random value as a special figure 2 random value and storing it in the corresponding random value storage area. If there is a win at the general figure starting port 228 and the corresponding reserved number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, the value is obtained as a normal figure winning random number value from the random number counter for generating the normal figure winning random number value. Store in the corresponding random value storage area. When there is a winning at the variable winning opening 234, information indicating that a ball has entered the variable winning opening 234 is stored in the winning storage area for the variable winning opening.

  In step SB19, a payout request number transmission process is performed. Note that the output schedule information and the payout request information output to the payout control unit 600 are composed of, for example, 1 byte, strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bit 6 Power-on information (if turned on, indicates the first command transmission after power-on), bits 4-5 indicate the current processing type for encryption (0-3), and bits 0-3 encrypt The number of payout requests after processing is shown.

  In step SB21, a normal state update process is performed. This normal state update process performs one of a plurality of processes corresponding to the normal state. For example, in the normal state update process in the middle of the normal symbol display (the above-described general symbol display symbol update timer value is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the normal symbol display device 210 is repeatedly turned on and off. Turns off drive control. By performing this control, the normal symbol display device 210 performs a usual fluctuation display (ordinary figure fluctuation game).

  Also, in the normal state update process at the timing when the normal symbol change display time has elapsed (the timing when the value of the general symbol display symbol update timer has changed from 1 to 0), if the hit flag is on, the win symbol is displayed. The normal symbol display device 210 is controlled so that the 7-segment LED constituting the normal symbol display device 210 is turned on / off, and when the hit flag is off, the normal symbol display device 210 is configured to be in the off symbol display mode. 7 segment LED on / off drive control is performed.

  In step SB23, a general drawing related lottery process is performed. In this general map-related lottery process, the open / close control of the general map variable game and the second special map start port 232 is not performed (the state of the general map is not in operation), and the pending general map variable game is not held. When the number is 1 or more, it is decided whether to win or not to win the result of the variable figure game by random lottery based on the random number value stored in the random number value storage area. When the winning judgment is made and the winning is made, the winning flag provided in the RAM 308 is set to ON. If unsuccessful, turn off the winning flag. Regardless of the result of the hit determination, next, the value of the random number counter for generating the normal figure timer random value is acquired as the normal figure timer random number value, and a plurality of fluctuation times are obtained based on the acquired general figure timer random number value. One time for displaying the variable map on the general map display device 112 is selected from among them, and this variable display time is stored in the general map variable time storage area provided in the RAM 308 as the normal map variable display time. In addition, the number of pending general figure variable games is stored in the usual figure pending number storage area provided in the RAM 308, and from the number of pending custom figure variable games each time a hit determination is made. The value obtained by subtracting 1 is re-stored in the usual figure number-of-holds storage area. Also, the random number value used for the hit determination is deleted.

Subsequently, the special figure state update process for each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 is performed. First, the special figure state update process (the special figure 2 state update process) for the special figure 2 is performed (step SB25). In the special figure 2 state update process, one of the following eight processes is performed in accordance with the state of the special figure 2. For example, in the special figure 2 state update process in the middle of the special figure 2 fluctuation display (the value of the above-mentioned special figure 2 display symbol update timer is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the second special symbol display device 214 is turned on. Performs lighting / extinguishing drive control that repeatedly turns off. By performing this control, the second special symbol display device 214 performs the variable display of the special figure 2 (special figure 2 variable game).
In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the rotation start setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step SB33) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area, and the process ends.

  Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 includes a 15R big hit flag, a 2R big hit flag, a first small hit flag, a second small hit flag, a first off flag, a second off flag, a special figure probability variation flag, and a normal figure. A flag for each probability variation flag is prepared. In the special figure 2 state update process starting at the timing when the special figure 2 fluctuation display time has elapsed (the timing when the special figure 2 display symbol update timer value has changed from 1 to 0), the 15R big hit flag is on, and the special figure probability fluctuation When the flag is also on and the normal figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure A, 15R jackpot flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is off, and when the common figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figures B and 2R When the jackpot flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, and the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure C, 2R jackpot flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is off, and the common figure probability fluctuation flag is on. In the case, the special figure D, 2R jackpot flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is also on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure E, 2R big hit flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is off, Common figure probability variation flag Special figure F when off, special figure G when the first small hit flag is on, special figure H when the second small hit flag is on, special figure H, special figure when the first off flag is on FIG. I, when the second off flag is on, the 7-segment LED constituting the second special symbol display device 214 is controlled to be turned on / off so as to have the respective modes of the special figure I, and the setting area of the RAM 308 Is set to indicate that the special figure 2 stop display is in progress. By performing this control, the second special symbol display device 214 has a 15R special jackpot symbol (special symbol A), a 15R jackpot symbol (special symbol B), a sudden probability variation symbol (special symbol C), and a sudden time-short symbol symbol (special symbol). D), hidden probability variation (special E), suddenly normal (special F), first small hit (special G), second small hit (special H), first off symbol (special) Any one of the symbols I) and the first off-set symbol (special symbol J) is confirmed and displayed. After that, information indicating the stop period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308 in order to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 milliseconds). With this setting, the specially displayed special figure 2 is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the result of the special figure 2 variable game is notified to the player. In addition, if the time reduction number stored in the time reduction number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from the time reduction number, and if the subtraction result becomes 1 to 0, the special figure probability is changing. If not (details will be described later), the time reduction flag is turned off. Further, the hourly flag is also turned off during the big hit game (in the special game state).

  Further, the special transmission information indicating that the rotation stop setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step SB33) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the design for stopping the variable display is shown in FIG. The special figure 2 identification information indicating the presence is additionally stored in the RAM 308 as information to be included in command data, which will be described later, and the processing is terminated.

  If the result of the special figure 2 variable game is a big hit, the big hit flag is turned on as will be described later. When the jackpot flag is on, in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (the timing when the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the RAM 308 In the setting area, the special figure 2 is in operation and waits for a predetermined winning effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a period during which an image for notifying the player that the big win by the decorative symbol display device 208 is started is displayed. Therefore, information indicating the winning effect period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the winning effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step SB33) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Further, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined winning effect period ends (the timing when the value of the special figure 2 standby time management timer changes from 1 to 0), a predetermined release period (for example, 29 seconds) Alternatively, the door member is held in the open state by the solenoid (332) for opening and closing the door member of the variable winning port 234 until the winning of a predetermined number of balls (for example, 10 balls) is detected in the variable winning port 234. A signal indicating the opening period is set in the storage area of the door opening time management timer provided in the RAM 308. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening release setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step SB33) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the door opening time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the predetermined closing period (for example, 1.5 seconds) A signal for holding the door member in a closed state is output to a solenoid (332) for opening and closing the door member of the variable prize opening 234, and a closing period is indicated in a storage area of a door closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Set the information. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening closing setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step SB33) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In addition, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the door member opening / closing control is repeated a predetermined number of times (15 rounds or 2 rounds in this embodiment) and finished, a predetermined end effect period (for example, 3 seconds) In other words, the effect standby period is stored in the storage area of the effect standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308 in order to set to wait for a period during which an image for informing the player that the big hit by the decorative symbol display device 208 is to be ended is displayed. Set the information indicating. Also, if the normal probability fluctuation flag is set to ON, at the same time as the end of the jackpot game, the time reduction number 100 is set in the time reduction number storage unit provided in the RAM 308, and the time reduction flag provided in the RAM 308 is set. Turn on. If the ordinary probability fluctuation flag is set to OFF, the number of time reductions is not set in the time reduction number storage unit, and the time reduction flag is not turned on. The short time here means that the pachinko machine is in an advantageous state for the player in order to shorten the time from the end of the big hit in the special figure variable game to the start of the next big hit. If the short time flag is set to ON at this time, it is a normal high probability state. There is a higher probability of hitting a general-purpose variable game in the high-probability state than in the low-probability state. Also, in the normal figure high probability state, the fluctuation time of the general figure variable game and the fluctuation time of the special figure variable game are shorter than in the normal figure low probability state. Further, in the normal high-probability state, the opening time in one opening of the pair of blade members of the second special start port 232 tends to be longer than in the normal low-probability state. In addition, the pair of blade members are more likely to be opened in the normal high probability state than in the normal low probability state. In addition, as described above, the hourly flag is set to off during the big hit game (in the special game state). Therefore, the normal low probability state is maintained during the jackpot game. This is because, if the game is in a high probability state during a jackpot game, a large number of games will be placed in the second special figure starting port 232 during the jackpot game until a predetermined number of game balls are entered in the variable winning slot 234. There is a problem that a ball enters and the number of game balls that can be acquired during the jackpot increases, resulting in an increase in euphoria. This is to solve this problem.

  Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the end effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step SB33) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Also, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined end production period ends (when the production standby time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the special figure 2 is not activated in the setting area of the RAM 308. Set medium. Further, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is out of the way, the off flag is turned on as will be described later. In the case where the miss flag is on, even in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (the timing when the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, special figure 2 inactive is set. In the special figure 2 state update process when the special figure 2 is not operating, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step SB27.

  Subsequently, special figure state update processing (special figure 1 state update process) for special figure 1 is performed (step SB27). In the special figure 1 state update process, each process described in the special figure 2 state update process is performed according to the state of the special figure 1. Each process performed in the special figure 1 state update process is the same as the process in which “special figure 2” in the contents described in the special figure 2 state update process is replaced with “special figure 1”. Omitted. The order of the special figure 2 state update process and the special figure 1 state update process may be reversed.

  When the special figure state update process in step SB25 and step SB27 is completed, a special figure related lottery process for each of special figure 1 and special figure 2 is performed. Also here, the special figure related lottery process (special figure 2 related lottery process) for special figure 2 is performed first (step SB29), and then the special figure related lottery process for special figure 1 (special figure 1 related lottery process) (Step SB31). Also for these special drawing related lottery processes, the main control unit 300 performs the special figure 2 related lottery processing before the special figure 1 related lottery processing, so that the special figure 2 variable game start condition and the special figure 1 fluctuation Even if the game start conditions are satisfied at the same time, since the special figure 2 variable game is changing first, the special figure 1 variable game does not start changing. Further, the notification of the result of the jackpot determination of the special figure variable game by the decorative symbol display device 208 is performed by the first sub-control unit 400, and the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the second special figure starting port 232 is notified. However, it is performed in preference to the notification of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the first special figure starting port 230.

  In step SB33, command setting transmission processing is performed, and various commands are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The output schedule information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits, for example, bit 15 is strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bits 11 to 14 are Command type (In this embodiment, command types such as basic command, symbol variation start command, symbol variation stop command, winning effect start command, end effect start command, jackpot round number designation command, power recovery command, FRAM clear command are specified. Possible information), bits 0 to 10 are composed of command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type).

  Specifically, the strobe information is turned on and off in the command transmission process described above. If the command type is a symbol variation start command, information indicating the value of the 15R jackpot flag or 2R jackpot flag, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the timer number selected in the special figure related lottery process, etc. is included in the command data. In the case of the symbol variation stop command, the value of the 15R jackpot flag, 2R jackpot flag, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, etc. are included. In the case of a jackpot round number designation command, the value of the special variation probability flag, the number of jackpot rounds, and the like are included. When the command type indicates a basic command, device information in the command data, presence / absence of winning at the first special figure starting port 230, presence / absence of winning at the second special figure starting port 232, winning of the variable winning port 234 Includes presence or absence.

Information indicating the timer number selected in the lottery process, the number of the first special figure variable game or the second special figure variable game held, etc. is set. In the rotation stop setting transmission process described above, information indicating the value of the 15R jackpot flag, the 2R jackpot flag, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, etc. stored in the RAM 308 is set in the command data. In the winning effect setting transmission process described above, the command control data stored in the RAM 308, the effect control information output to the decorative symbol display device 208, the various lamps 423, and the speaker 120 during the winning effect period, the special figure probability variation flag Information indicating the value, the number of the first special figure variable game or the second special figure variable game being held, etc. is set. In the above-described end effect setting transmission process, the command control data stored in the RAM 308, the effect control information output to the decorative symbol display device 208, various lamps 418, and the speaker 120 during the effect standby period, the special figure probability variation flag Information indicating the value, the number of the first special figure variable game or the second special figure variable game being held, etc. is set. In the above-described large winning opening release setting transmission process, the number of big hits stored in the RAM 308 in the command data, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the pending first special figure variation game or the second special figure variation game is stored. Set information such as number. In the above-mentioned big winning opening closing setting transmission process, the number of big hits stored in the RAM 308 in the command data, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the pending first special figure variation game or the second special figure variation game is stored. Set information such as number. In step SB33, general command special figure hold increase processing is also performed. In this general command special figure pending increase process, special figure identification information (information showing special figure 1 or special figure 2) stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM 308, command notice information (preliminary notice information, false) Set either advance notice information or no advance notice information).

  In the first sub-control unit 400, it is possible to determine the production control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300 by the command type included in the received output schedule information, and it is included in the output schedule information. Based on the information of the command data, the contents of effect control can be determined.

  In step SB35, an external output signal setting process is performed. In this external output signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 350 separate from the pachinko machine 100 via the information output circuit 334.

  In step SB37, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, the signal states of the various sensors stored in the signal state storage area in step SB05 are read, and the presence or absence of a predetermined error, for example, the presence or absence of a front frame door opening error or the bottom pan full error is monitored. When the front frame door opening error or the lower pan full error is detected, the transmission information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 includes device information indicating the presence or absence of the front frame door opening error or the lower pan full error. Set. Further, various solenoids 332 are driven to control the opening and closing of the second special figure starting port 232 and the variable prize opening 234, and the normal symbol display device 210 and the first special symbol display via the driving circuits 324, 326, and 330. Display data to be output to the device 212, the second special symbol display device 214, the various status display units 328, and the like is set in the output port of the I / O 310. Further, the output schedule information set in the payout request number transmission process (step SB19) is output to the first sub-control unit 400 via the output port (I / O 310).

  In step SB39, it is monitored whether or not the low voltage signal is on. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when power supply cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step SB43. When the low voltage signal is off (power supply cutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step SB41.

  In step SB41, a timer interrupt end process is performed. In this timer interrupt end process, the value of each register temporarily saved in step SB01 is set in each original register, interrupt permission is set, etc., and then the main control unit main process shown in FIG. Return to.

On the other hand, in step SB43, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is saved as a return data in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and power-off processing such as initialization of input / output ports is performed. After that, the process returns to the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG.

When only the cooling effect inside the staging device 206 is desired, the movable fan 800 with the fan-fan cooling function is driven with the shutter 804 closed, and when the staging operation or the external cooling effect is desired. If the movable fan 800 with the fan-fan cooling function is driven while the shutter 804 is opened, appropriate cooling and performance operations can be performed according to the purpose.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 17, a movable accessory 700 with a cooling function is provided on the right side of the effect device 206 so that it can be moved from the initial position shown in FIG. 17 to a position hidden behind the 7-segment effect device 190. In the normal state, an effect operation is performed on the right side of the effect device 206 according to the game state, but a temperature sensor (not shown) provided in the 7-segment effect device 190 becomes a certain temperature or higher. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, it may be detected that the movable accessory with cooling function 700 moves to the back of the 7-segment effect device 190 and performs a cooling operation.

  As described above, the present invention provides a player with a determination as to whether or not to determine whether or not a predetermined determination is made, and whether the determination result by the determination means is a specific determination result. Control state transition means for shifting the control state from the first control state in which the advantage is the first advantage to the second control state in which the advantage is different from the first advantage. , A movable body capable of producing an effect at a predetermined first position, and a movable body moving support that moves the movable body and supports the movable body at a plurality of positions including the first position. And a movable body control means for performing motion control of the movable body and movement support control of the movable body movement support means, wherein the movable body control means satisfies a specific condition.

A movable accessory 700 with a cooling function provided with a member rotating body 701 is supported by an arm portion 709 and controlled to be swingable by a driving device 721, which is necessary when various effects such as big hits are required. It moved to a position and it comprised so that an effect and cooling operation might be performed by the light emission effect by the lamp | ramp 707, and the rotation effect of the rotation part 701.

  Therefore, since the production effect and the cooling effect can be realized at the same time by one production device, various productions can be achieved at low cost.

  Further, in another aspect of the present invention, it is further possible that the first position is easily visible from a player, and the second position is a position that is more difficult to visually recognize from the player than the first position. It was characterized.

  In the above-described embodiment, the movable accessory 700 with the cooling function moves to the front of the decorative symbol display device 208 that is the first position to perform a rotational light emission effect, and during a normal game where the effect is not performed. The 7-segment effect device 190, which is the second position, is moved to the standby position on the back side, and is configured to be rotationally driven.

  Therefore, in the gaming state where it is desired to obtain a production effect, various productions can be made at conspicuous positions. On the other hand, when only the cooling effect is desired, the production operation is not performed at the position where the movable body is not visible, and the It is possible to perform only the production and the cooling operation.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, the movable body further includes an image display unit having an image display surface capable of displaying an image for producing a game, and one or a plurality of light emitting units for producing the game. A light emitting decoration means capable of concealing the light emission decoration means, provided at a position avoiding the light emission decoration means and the image display surface in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, and the first position is the position of the image display surface. The front position is a position that can be visually recognized by the player by overlapping with the image displayed on the image display surface, and the second position is concealed by the light emitting decoration means and displayed on the image display surface. The game part is an electrical part provided in the light emitting decoration means.

  In the embodiment described above, the decorative symbol display device 208 is provided at the center of the game board 200 as the image display means, and the 7-segment type effect device 190 is provided above the effect device 206 as the light emission decoration means.

  Therefore, during a big hit, an effective performance operation is performed at a position where it is naturally visible when concentrating on the image production, and when the production is not necessary, a position different from the image production view. Since the cooling operation is performed at, the role of driving the movable body can be clearly distinguished, and the production can be sharpened.

  Further, in another aspect of the present invention, the movable body control means is further configured to move from the first position or the second position to a predetermined third position in the vicinity of an electrical component different from the gaming component. The movable body is moved and supported, and when a predetermined condition different from the specific condition is satisfied, the movable body is moved and supported to the second position, and the gaming parts are excessively moved. The movable body is allowed to perform a cooling operation for preventing a rise in temperature.

  In the above-described embodiment, the temperature sensor is provided in the 7-segment effect device 190, and the third position that can be visually recognized during the normal game is set on the right side of the game board 200. The movable body is in the third position during normal gaming, but when it is detected that the temperature sensor has reached a predetermined value or more, the movable body moves to the second position on the back of the 7-segment effect device and performs a cooling operation. I do.

  Therefore, only when the cooling function is required, the movable body moves to a position where the movable body cannot be seen. Therefore, during normal games, it is possible to perform operations at positions that are always visible to the player, realizing a variety of effects. it can.

  Further, according to the present invention, the movable body is configured to be movable between a position that is easily visible to the player and a position that is difficult to visually recognize, and the effect operation is performed at a position that is visible to the player. It is performed at a position that is difficult for the player to see. Therefore, by switching the viewing state from the player by moving the movable body itself, the effect operation and the cooling operation can be made the same operation mode, and the amount of information necessary for the control is reduced.

  Further, according to the present invention, the movable body includes a light source and a vent hole in the movable body. Therefore, by providing the light source inside, it is possible to produce the production operation more, and by providing the vent, the air flow efficiency is improved when the cooling operation is performed.

  Further, according to the present invention, the movable body includes a concavo-convex portion for allowing ambient air to flow by operation. Therefore, the unevenness provided on the movable body improves the flow efficiency of the air when the movable body operates, and allows the surrounding air to flow more.

  In addition, the present invention further includes concealment means for changing the visual recognition state of the movable body. Therefore, the movable body can be hidden without performing movement control according to the situation.

  Moreover, this invention may switch the movable part which moves based on the supply aspect of the driving force supplied from a drive source. Therefore. Even if only one driving source is provided, when the driving force is supplied in the first supply mode, the rendering operation and the cooling operation are executed simultaneously, and the driving force is supplied in the second supply mode. In this case, switching such as performing only the cooling operation is possible.

  Further, the movable body may execute the effect operation in synchronization with another effect device provided on the game table, and the cooling operation may be performed asynchronously with the other effect device.

  As another method for flowing air, a movable body is provided with a thermoelectric conversion element that changes the ambient temperature using electric power such as a Peltier element or a Seebeck element, and the air is changed by the temperature change of the surrounding air by the thermoelectric conversion element. May cause convection and prevent air flow.

  Further, since air has a property of rising when heated, the region where the movable body performs the cooling operation is preferably above the heat source.

Further, if the present invention is applied particularly to the pachinko machine 100, the success / failure determination condition is that the game ball enters the start area, and the start information for deriving start information when the game ball enters the start area. Deriving means, and the image display means, after the symbols are variably displayed, performs a symbol variation stop display for stopping and displaying a symbol aspect corresponding to the result of the success / failure determination by the success / failure determination means. The movable body is configured to make a determination as to whether or not based on start-up information, and the movable body performs the effect operation for notifying the result of the determination as to whether or not the design mode is stopped and displayed at the first position. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a game program in which the operation of the actual machine of the slot machine is simulated for a home game machine. You can run the game. In that case, a DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, FD (flexible disk), or any other recording medium can be used as a recording medium for recording the game program.
