If a gap H is opened between the position EP and the movable accessory 65, and the game ball B enters the movable accessory device 60 from the gap H, the movable accessory device 60 may be broken. That is, if the movable accessory 65 at the upper end position TP is lowered while the game ball B has entered the movable accessory device 60, the space between the base 67 and the housing 61 (the base portion 62 and the sleeve portion 63). Then, the game ball B is pinched, and a load is applied to the drive motor 71 thereafter, which causes damage to the drive motor 70 as a drive source, the drive mechanism 70 such as the pinion 74 of the motion transmission mechanism 73, the rack 75, etc. This makes it difficult to move the accessory 65 to a predetermined position.

  In the case of the embodiment, each movable accessory 65 is discharged from the right end side to the outlet 64 so that the game ball placed on the upper surface side of the movable accessory 65 can be discharged to the outlet 64 as shown in FIG. It is configured to be arranged at the discharge position OP in a gradually lowered state so as to incline to the left as it approaches the side. The disposition position at the discharge position OP is such that each base portion does not have a gap H into which the game ball enters the movable accessory device 60 between the movable accessory 65 on the right side on the side away from the discharge port 64. 67 is placed in a state where it rises to the right, and if the game ball B is placed on any of the bases 67, it gradually flows down to the base 67 on the left side, and finally as a discharge part It is set to be discharged to the discharge port 64.

  In addition, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 10, the base 67 is configured such that the upper surface 67a is inclined downwardly to the left, and the game balls placed on the upper surface 67a are actively moved toward the discharge port 64. You may comprise so that it may be made easy to flow down.

(5) Operation of pachinko gaming machine Next, the control operation by the effect control board 56 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the embodiment will be described (see FIGS. 13 to 23).

[Sub timer interrupt processing]
The effect control board 56 repeats the sub-side timer interruption process as shown in FIG. 13 every predetermined time (for example, 4 msec). In the sub timer interruption process, after finishing the door opening signal reception process (S1101) described later on the effect control board 56, it is determined whether or not the door opening flag is ON (S1102). If the side timer interrupt processing is finished and it is not ON, command reception processing (S1103) and effect button processing (S1104) are performed, and then the command set in command reception processing (S1103) and effect button processing (S1104) Command transmission processing (S1105) to be transmitted to the image control board 57 and the lamp control board 58 is performed. When the command transmission process is executed, the image control board 57 and the lamp control board 58 that have received various commands are displayed on various rendering devices (in the embodiment, the image display device 20, the speaker 47, the frame lamp 48, the panel lamp 49, the movable lamp). Various effects (design variation effect, jackpot effect, etc.) are executed using the accessory device 60).

[Door open signal reception processing]
As shown in FIG. 14, in the door opening signal reception process, the effect control board 56 determines whether or not the door opening signal output by the door opening SW 9 has been received (S1201), and if the door opening signal has not been received. The process proceeds to step S1205. If the door open signal is received, it is determined whether or not the door open flag is ON (S1202). If not, the door open flag is turned ON (S1203) and the movable accessory 65 is set to the prevention position GP. A movable accessory moving process for executing the preventing side moving means to be arranged is performed (S1204), and the process proceeds to step S1205. If the door opening flag is already ON in step S1202, the movable accessory moving process is continued without turning on the door opening flag (S1204), and the process proceeds to step S1205.

  In step S1205, the effect control board 56 determines whether or not a door closing signal indicating that the door opening SW 9 is turned from ON to OFF is received. If not received, the door opening signal receiving process is finished and received. Then, the movable accessory actuating process is performed (S1206), and the door opening signal receiving process is finished.

[Moveable material movement process]
As shown in FIG. 15, in the movable accessory moving process, the prevention side moving means for placing the movable accessory 65 at the prevention position GP is executed, and the effect control board 56 first checks whether the prevention movement flag is ON. If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S1407. If it is not ON, it is determined whether the drive motor 71 is stopped (S1402). If it is stopped, the process proceeds to step S1404. If it is not stopped, the drive motor 71 is stopped so as to stop the movable accessory 65 (S1403), and the process proceeds to step S1404. In step S1404, it is determined whether or not the stop position of the movable accessory 65 is the prevention position GP (upper end position TP). If it is the prevention position GP, the movable accessory movement processing is finished, and if it is not the prevention position GP. Then, the drive motor 71 is operated (S1405), the prevention movement flag is turned ON (S1406), and the process proceeds to step S1407.

  In step S1407, it is determined by the operation of the drive motor 71 whether or not the movable accessory 65 has been placed at the prevention position GP. If not, the movement process is terminated. The operation is stopped (S1408), the prevention movement flag is turned off (S1409), and the movable accessory movement process is completed.

  In this movable accessory moving process, the effect control board 56 continues to operate without stopping the drive motor 71 (NO in S1407) unless the movable accessory 65 is disposed at the prevention position GP in step S1407. Finally, all the movable combination 65 is arranged at the prevention position GP (YES in S1407), the drive motor 71 is stopped (S1408), and the movable combination movement process is completed.

  At this time, if the production control board 56 refers to the operation pattern at the time of stop at Steps S1402 and S1403 to determine at which stage of the operation pattern when the drive motor 71 is operated at Step S1405, Each movable accessory 65 can be quickly arranged at the prevention position GP (refer to the column “Drive motor to GP” in FIG. 11 (column of the type of drive motor at the time of arrangement at the prevention position GP)).

  For example, in the first stage P1-1 of the first operation pattern P1, all the drive motors 71A, 71B, 71C are rotated in the forward direction so that all the movable accessories 65A, 65B, 65C are arranged at the upper end position TP. . Note that reference numerals 71A, 71B, 71C of the drive motor correspond to the drive motor 71 that moves the movable members 65A, 65B, 65C having the same alphabet.

  At the stage of each operation pattern at the time of stop, in the seventh stage P3-7 of the third operation pattern, all the movable accessories 65 are arranged at the upper end position TP. 71A, 71B, 71C need not be driven (NO in step S1401, YES in step S1402, YES in step S1404). However, in the fifth stage P2-5 of the second motion pattern and the fifth and sixth stages P3-5 and P3-6 of the third motion pattern, the movable accessory 65A, 65B is in a state of being arranged at the upper end position TP. Since the movable accessory 65C is not at the upper end position TP, the drive motor 71C rotates forward, the movable accessory 65C is disposed at the upper end position TP, and all the movable actors 65A, 65B, 65C are at the upper end position TP. Will be placed.

  Similarly, the third stage P1-3 of the first operation pattern, the third and fourth stages P2-3 and P2-4 of the second operation pattern, and the third and fourth stages P3-3 and P3-4 of the third operation pattern. Then, since the movable combination 65B and 65C are not disposed at the upper end position TP in a state where the movable combination 65A is disposed at the upper end position TP, the drive motors 71B and 71C are rotated in the forward rotation direction. The movable combination 65B, 65C is disposed at the upper end position TP, and all the movable combinations 65A, 65B, 65C are disposed at the upper end position TP.

  Further, the remaining cases, that is, the first, second, and fourth stages P1-1, P1-2, and P1-4 of the first operation pattern, and the first, second, and sixth stages P2-1 and P2- of the second operation pattern. 2, P2-6, and the first, second, and sixth stages P3-1, P3-2, and P3-6 of the third operation pattern, all movable accessories 65A, 65B, and 65C are not arranged at the upper end position TP. Therefore, all the drive motors 71A, 71B, 71C are rotated forward, and all the movable accessories 65A, 65B, 65C are arranged at the upper end position TP.

  Then, if the movable accessory device 60 is arranged at the prevention position GP where all the movable accessories 65A, 65B, and 65C are arranged at the upper end position TP, the obstacle nail 31 is clogged as shown in FIG. Even if the game ball B tries to enter the movable accessory device 60 by removing the clogging by the opening of the glass door portion 6, the base 67 of all the movable accessory 65A, 65B, 65C is a single plate. The game ball B is prevented from entering the movable accessory device 60 because it covers the area above the base 62 in a continuous manner.

[Movable accessory activation processing]
As described above, the movable accessory actuating process is performed after the door closing signal is received in step S1206 (YES in S1205). As shown in FIG. 16, the effect control board 56 opens the door. It is determined whether or not the flag is OFF (S1501). If it is OFF, the movable accessory operation process is finished. If it is not OFF, it is determined whether or not the return movement flag is ON (S1502). If it is not ON, it is determined whether or not the discharge flag is ON (S1503). If the discharge flag is already ON in step S1503, the process proceeds to step S1506. If the discharge flag is not ON, the driving motor 71 is operated to move the movable combination 65A, 65B, The drive motor 71 is operated so as to place the 65C at the discharge position OP (see FIG. 10), the discharge side moving process for executing the discharge side moving means is performed (S1504), and the discharge flag is turned on (S1505). The process proceeds to step S1506.

  In step S1506, it is determined whether or not the movable combination 65A, 65B, 65C is arranged at the discharge position OP. If not, the movable combination operation process is finished. Is determined to be stopped (S1507). If not stopped (NO in S1507), the drive motor 71 is stopped so as to end the discharge-side movement process (S1508), and the process proceeds to step S1509. If it is stopped (YES in S1507), the process directly proceeds to step S1509. In step S1509, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed after stopping at the discharge position OP, and if the predetermined time has elapsed, The discharge flag is turned off (S1510), and the process proceeds to step S1511.

  Note that the predetermined time in step S1509 is the time when the door closing signal is received while the game ball B is placed on the movable accessory 65A, 65B, 65C of the movable accessory device 60 arranged at the prevention position GP ( For example, when the clogged game ball is cleared and the glass door 6 is closed, the game ball B remains on the movable accessory 65A, 65B, 65C). B rolls on the base 67 and the main body 66 of the movable accessories 65A, 65B, 65C arranged at the discharge position OP so as to incline to the left, and can sufficiently flow down to the discharge port 64. What is necessary is just to set as time (for example, 10 seconds).

  In step S1511, the effect control board 56 allows each movable accessory 65 to return to the return position, for example, the lower end position (initial position / standby position / retraction position / storage position) EP, so that the operation can be resumed. Then, a movable accessory return arrangement process (return arrangement means) for operating a predetermined drive motor 71 is performed so as to return the movable accessory 65 from the discharge position OP to the return position, and the return movement flag is turned ON (S1512). Next, it is determined whether or not the movable accessory 65A, 65B, 65C has returned to the return position (S1513). If not, the movable accessory operation process is completed. Is stopped, the return arrangement process is terminated (S1514), the return movement flag is turned off (S1515), the door opening flag is turned off (S1516), and the movable accessory actuating process is completed.

  In the movable accessory operating process, the movable accessory device 60 causes the discharge side moving means to discharge the game ball B from the discharge port 64 even if a game ball is placed on the movable accessory 65 (see FIG. 10). Then, the return arrangement means returns to the initial state before the opening of the glass door 6 and the production can be restarted (restarted) from the initial position.

[Command reception processing]
As shown in FIG. 18, in the command reception process, the effect control board 56 performs an effect selection process (to be described later) if a change start command is received from the main control board 50 (S1601, S1602), and receives a change stop command. If so, the process during the end of the variation effect described later is performed (S1603, 1604). If the opening control command is received, the effect control board 56 performs a hit effect selection process (S1605, 1606) described later. If the ending command is received, the ending command is analyzed and the mode flag is referred to. Then, an ending effect selection process is performed for selecting an ending effect pattern and setting an ending effect start command (S1607, 1608). Subsequently, the effect control board 56 performs a customer waiting command reception process to be described later (S1609), and ends the command reception process.

  Moreover, in the seventh stage P3-7 of the third motion pattern, the stage of the motion pattern at the time of stop is all the movable accessories 65A, 65B, 65C are arranged at the upper end position TP, and the destination is moved in step S2305. The position is determined as the upper end position TP, the position is confirmed in step S2307, and the state in which the movable accessory 65 is arranged at the feeding-side prevention position GP1 without operating the drive motor 71 may be maintained (step S2307). NO in S2301, YES in Step S2302, NO in Step S2304, Steps S2305 and S2306, YES in Step S2307, and Step S2313.

  And the stage of the operation pattern at the time of stop is P1-2. In P1-3, P1-4, second and third stages P2-2 and P2-3 of the second movement pattern, and second and third stages P3-2 and P3-3 of the third movement pattern, Since 65A is not arranged at the lower end position EP and the other movable actors 65B and 65C are arranged at the lower end position EP, the movement destination position is determined as the lower end position EP in step S2305, and If the movable combination 65A is arranged at the lower end position EP, all the movable combinations 65A, 65B, 65C can be aligned with the standby side prevention position GP2, so the drive motor 71A is activated / stopped in steps S2308 to S2311. Then, the movable accessory 65A may be arranged at the lower end position EP, and the movable actors 65A, 65B, 65C may all be aligned at the lower end position EP and arranged at the standby side prevention position GP2.

  Similarly, in the sixth stage P2-6 of the second operation pattern when the operation pattern is stopped, one movable accessory 65C is already arranged at the lower end position EP, and the other four movable actors 65A. , 65B is a lowering position away from the upper end position TP, and all the drive motors 71 must be operated if the movable accessories 65A, 65B, 65C are to be aligned with the upper end position TP. Conversely, when aligning to the lower end position EP, it is only necessary to move the four movable actors 65A and 65B. Therefore, in step S2305, the destination position on the side that can be quickly aligned is set as the lower end position EP. In steps S2308 to S2311, the drive motors 71A and 71B are activated / stopped so that the movable accessories 65A and 65B are disposed at the lower end position EP, and the movable combinations 65A, 65B and 65C are all at the lower end position EP. They may be aligned and arranged at the standby side prevention position GP2.

  Further, when the operation pattern stage at the time of stop is P2-5 in the fifth stage of the second operation pattern and P3-5 and P3-6 in the fifth and sixth stages of the third operation pattern, only the movable accessory 65C is present. Since the other movable actors 65A and 65B are not located at the upper end position TP and are arranged at the upper end position TP, the movement destination position that is the side that can be quickly aligned in step S2305 is set as the upper end position TP, and In steps S2308 to S2311, the drive motor 71C is operated / stopped, the movable accessory 65C is arranged at the upper end position TP, and the movable accessories 65A, 65B, 65C are all aligned with the upper end position TP, and the payout side prevention position. What is necessary is just to arrange | position to GP1.

  Furthermore, when the operation pattern at the time of the stop is the second stage P2-4 of the second action pattern and the fourth stage P3-4 of the third action pattern, the two movable accessories 65A are at the upper end position TP. In a state where one movable combination 65C is disposed at the lower end position EP, the two movable combinations 65B are rising. In this case, on the side where the number of movable accessories 65 to be moved from the stop position can be reduced, two movable actors 65A are arranged at the upper end position TP, and the two movable actors 65B and one movable accessory 65C are arranged. The movement of the total three movable accessories 65 to the upper end position TP is quicker and less troublesome than the movement of the four movable combinations 65A and 65B in the case of aligning them to the lower end position EP. In step S2305, the movement destination position that can be quickly aligned is determined (set) as the upper end position TP, and the drive motors 71B and 71C are driven in steps S2308 to S2311. -The movable combination 65B, 65C may be disposed at the upper end position TP, and the movable combination 65A, 65B, 65C may be all aligned at the upper end position TP and disposed at the feeding side prevention position GP1.

  Then, when the stage of the operation pattern at the time of stop is P3-8 of the eighth stage of the third operation pattern, all the movable accessories 65A, 65B, 65C are descending, and the feeding side prevention position GP1 or the standby side prevention In order to arrange any of the positions GP2, it is necessary to move all the movable accessories 65. Therefore, in this case, the movement control board 56 is moved to either the feeding-side prevention position GP1 or the standby-side prevention position GP2 based on the position data of the position before the movable accessory 65 is moved. In step S2305, it is determined whether the destination position on the side that can be quickly aligned is the upper end position TP or the lower end position EP. In steps S2308 to S2311, the drive motors 71A, 71B, 71C are The movable combination 65A, 65B, 65C may be aligned at the upper end position TP or the lower end position EP, and may be arranged at the feeding side prevention position GP1 or the standby side prevention position GP2.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1A of this modified example, the same processing is performed with the other configuration similar to that of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  And in the pachinko gaming machine 1A of this modification, after the production control means 56 receives the door opening signal as the entry prediction signal, each movable accessory 65 is moved to the predetermined payout side prevention position GP1 or in a short time as much as possible. It can be arranged at the standby side prevention position GP2. That is, for example, even when a game ball clogged with obstacle nails or the like is about to enter the movable accessory device 60 when the glass door portion 6 is opened, each movable accessory 65 is prevented from quickly removing the gap H. It can arrange | position to position GP1, GP2, and can prevent the entrance of the game ball into the movable accessory apparatus 60 exactly.

  Note that the determination (determination) of the time when the movable accessory 65 is quickly placed at the payout-side prevention position GP1 or the standby-side prevention position GP2 is made by, for example, comparing the total of the number of movable accessories to be moved and their movement distances. Then, the side with the smaller sum may be selected as the side that can be aligned in a short time. In the pachinko gaming machine 1A according to the modified example, each movable accessory 65 has the same moving distance from the lower end position (initial position, standby position, or retracted position) EP to the upper end position (feeding position) TP. Since each movable accessory 65 can move between the lower end position EP and the upper end position TP in the same time, when the door opening signal of the effect control board 56 is received, the payout side prevention position GP1 or the standby side prevention If there are a lot of movable actors 65 approaching or arranged at either of the positions GP2, all the movable actors 65 are arranged on the side where the number is approaching a lot.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, when the movable accessory 65 is arranged at the prevention position GP, each movable accessory 65 is arranged at the upper end position TP. GP2 may be set as only one prevention position, and the movable accessory movement process (prevention side movement means) shown in FIG. 15 in step S1204 may be executed. In this case, if the movable accessory 65 is stopped at the operation patterns P2-4, P2-5, P3-4, and P3-5 that are arranged at the feeding-side prevention position GP1 shown in FIG. Then, since the movable combination 65A, 65B other than the movable combination 65C is not disposed at the prevention position (standby side prevention position) GP2, the drive motors 71A, 71B are operated to move the movable combination 65A, 65B, 65C may be aligned with the lower end position EP (standby side prevention position GP2).

  Furthermore, if the movable combination 65 is stopped in the operation patterns P3-6, P3-7, and P3-8, the movable combinations 65A, 65B, and 65C are separated from the prevention position (standby side prevention position) GP2. Therefore, the drive motors 71A, 71B, 71C may be operated to align the movable accessories 65A, 65B, 65C with the lower end position EP.

  Moreover, in embodiment and a modification, although door opening SW9 is used as a means to transmit an approach prediction signal, and the ON signal of door opening SW9 at the time of opening of the glass door part 6 is used as an approach prediction signal. In addition, a predetermined door opening notification SW or an approach prediction notification arranged in the non-game area 13 exposed when the glass door 6 is opened, or on the back side of the game board 11 with the inner frame 4 opened. SW9A (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 12) is used as a means for transmitting the entry prediction signal, the door opening notification SW or the entry prediction notification SW9A is turned on, and the ON signal is used as the entry prediction signal in step S1201. The signal when the door opening notification SW or the approach prediction notification SW9A is turned off may be employed as the door closing signal (entry prediction cancellation signal) in step S1205.

  In the embodiment, the production control means (production control board) 56 replaces the discharge side movement means (discharge side movement processing) for moving the movable combination 65A, 65B, 65C to the discharge position OP, and the ON signal of the entry prediction signal. When the OFF signal is input after the input of the signal, that is, when the door closing signal that is turned OFF from ON of the door opening signal is received (detected), it is automatically performed in the movable accessory operating process. However, the effect control board 56 may separately execute the discharge side moving means by disposing the movable accessories 65A, 65B, 65C at the discharge position OP by operating the discharge button (discharge operation SW). In this case, for example, the discharge button is disposed so as to be exposed to the non-game area 13 when the glass door portion 6 is opened. The discharge button SW (discharge operation SW) 10 of this discharge button is connected to the effect control board 56 in the same manner as the effect button detection SW 46a (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 12).

  In this case, the movable accessory discharge-side movement process (discharge-side movement movement means) is, for example, as shown in FIG. 26 in the door opening signal reception process (S1101) of the sub timer interruption process. Steps S1204-1 and S1204-2 may be provided after the movement process (S1204).

  Note that the movable accessory actuating process performed in step S1206 shown in FIG. 26 does not perform the movable accessory discharge side movement process (S1503 to S1510) shown in FIG. Such a movable accessory act is performed.

  Then, in the movable accessory discharge side movement process of step S1204-1 for operating the discharge button, as shown in FIG. 27, the effect control board 56 first determines whether or not the discharge side movement process is being continued. Then, it is determined whether or not the discharge flag is ON (S2501). If it is ON, the process proceeds to step S2506, and if it is not ON, other processing, for example, the movable accessory moving process is in progress and the drive motor is in operation. It is determined whether or not the drive motor 71 is stopped (S2502). If the drive motor 71 is in operation (NO in S2502) but is not stopped, the discharge side movement process is finished. If it is stopped (YES in S2502), it is determined whether or not the discharge button is ON. (S2503). If the discharge button is not ON, the process is completed, and if it is ON, the drive motor 71 is operated so as to place the movable accessory 65 at the discharge position OP (S2504), and the discharge flag is turned ON. (S2505), the process proceeds to step S2506.

  In step S2506, it is determined whether or not the movable accessory 65A, 65B, 65C is disposed at the discharge position OP by the operation of the drive motor 71. If not, the process ends. The drive motor 71 is stopped (S2507), the discharge flag is turned off (S2508), and the discharge side movement process is completed.

  In this way, the effect control board 56 is placed on the movable accessory 65 by separately placing the movable accessories 65A, 65B, 65C at the discharge position OP by manual operation of the discharge button (discharge side movement switch). The game ball B may be discharged out of the movable accessory device 60 through the discharge port 64 as a discharge unit.

  Then, in the movable accessory actuating process when the discharge side moving means is not executed, as described above (see FIG. 25), if the effect control board 56 receives the door closing signal in step S1205, the predetermined return position First, it is determined whether or not the door opening flag is OFF (S2401). If YES, the process is completed. If NO, whether the return movement is already in progress. If the return movement flag is ON, the process proceeds to step S2405. If the return movement flag is not ON, the drive motor 71 is operated to perform the movable accessory return movement process ( (S2403), the return movement flag is turned ON (S2404), and the process proceeds to step S2405.

  In step S2405, it is determined whether or not the movable accessory 65A, 65B, 65C has returned to the predetermined return position by the operation of the drive motor 71. If not, the movable accessory operation process is terminated. If it has returned, the drive motor 71 is stopped so as to end the return arrangement process (S2406), the return movement flag is turned OFF (S2407), the door opening flag is turned OFF (S2403), What is necessary is just to finish a thing operation process.

  Further, in the embodiment, the position where each movable accessory 65 is arranged at the prevention position GP, GP1, GP2, or the discharge position OP within the normal movement range in which the movement pattern moves is set. The prevention position and the discharge position may be set separately beyond the normal movement range, and at a predetermined time, the drive motor 71 as a drive source is operated to move the movable accessory 65 to set the normal movement range. You may arrange | position in the prevention position of the position beyond, and the discharge position.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment, the case where a plurality (5 in the embodiment) of movable movable members 65 that are independently moved is provided is illustrated, but there is only one movable movable member that moves. However, the present invention can be applied.
