Thus, the process stop flag is set to the off state, so that a series of operations for turning on the main power is performed with the process stop flag on. Therefore, the abnormality determination process of FIG. 56 is not executed during a series of operations for turning on the main power, and therefore it is not determined that there is an abnormality based on the voltage signals from the X-axis MI sensor 70 to the Z-axis MI sensor 72.

Each of the voltage detection commands 1 to 4 is transmitted in an ON state of one of the firing solenoids 21 to the stepping motor 44, and each of the voltage detection commands 5 to 10 is one of the firing solenoids 21 to the stepping motors 44. Each of the voltage detection commands 11 to 14 is transmitted in three ON states of the firing solenoid 21 to the stepping motor 44, and the voltage detection command 15 is transmitted in the firing solenoid. The sensor control circuit 77 receives the voltage detection commands 1 to 15 when the X-axis MI sensor 70, the Y-axis MI sensor 71, and Z are transmitted. A voltage signal from each of the axis MI sensors 72 is detected, and the electric power of the reference values X1 to X15 is detected. The voltage signal from the X-axis MI sensor 70 is set to one according to the reception result of the detection command, and one of the reference values Y1 to Y15 according to the reception result of the voltage detection command is set from the Y-axis MI sensor 71. A voltage signal is set, and the voltage signal from the Z-axis MI sensor 72 is set to one of the reference values Z1 to Z15 according to the reception result of the voltage detection command. These reference values X0 to X15, Y0 to Y15, and Z0 to Z15 are the normal postures of the X axis MI sensor 70, the Y axis MI sensor 71, and the Z axis MI sensor 72, respectively, in which the inner frame 2 is operated in the closed state. The reference values X0 to X15, Y0 to Y15, and Z0 to Z15 are set accurately.
[11-3] Main power on state When the main control circuit 51 transmits all of the voltage detection command 0 to the voltage detection command 15, the value of the counter data MN3 is sent to the sensor control circuit 77 every time a predetermined time elapses. Send. This counter data MN3 corresponds to the respective operating states of the firing solenoid 21 to the stepping motor 44, and the sensor control circuit 77 records the value of the latest one counter data MN3 in the RAM.

The sensor control circuit 77 detects the voltage signal from each of the X-axis MI sensor 70 to the Z-axis MI sensor 72 every time a certain time elapses, and the detection result of the voltage signal from the X-axis MI sensor 70 is obtained as the voltage value Xv. The detection result of the voltage signal from the Y-axis MI sensor 71 is set to the voltage value Yv, and the detection result of the voltage signal from the Z-axis MI sensor 72 is set to the voltage value Zv.

Is selected from the groups according to the detection result of the value of the counter data MN3. Then, an allowable range for the voltage value Xv is set according to the selection result of one of the reference values X0 to X15, and the allowable range for the voltage value Yv is set according to the selection result of one of the reference values Y0 to Y15. Is set, an allowable range for the voltage value Zv is set according to the selection result of one of the reference values Z0 to Z15, and the setting result of the voltage value Xv is compared with the setting result of the allowable range. And the presence / absence of abnormality is determined by comparing the setting result of the voltage value Yv with the setting result of the allowable range, and the presence / absence of abnormality is determined by comparing the setting result of the voltage value Zv with the setting result of the allowable range. To do. For this reason, the setting result of the voltage value Xv is allowed when an illegal act of attracting a game ball by bringing a permanent magnet or an electromagnet close to the front of the game board 23 from the front through the window 8 of the front frame 6 is permitted. Deviation from the setting result of the range or setting result of the voltage value Yv deviates from the setting result of the allowable range or the setting result of the voltage value Zv deviates from the setting result of the allowable range, the buzzer 122 sounds and the decorative symbol display 49 An abnormality notification image is displayed, an abnormal sound is output from each of the speakers 11, and each of the plurality of illumination LEDs 13 emits light. Therefore, when an illegal act is performed, the illegal act can be detected without being affected by the magnetism from each of the firing solenoid 21 to the stepping motor 44. In addition, the magnetic change when the game ball enters the detection area of the normal symbol start opening sensor 32, the magnetic change when the game ball enters the detection area of the special symbol start opening sensor 33, and the detection area of the special winning opening sensor 38. When an illegal act is performed, the allowable range for the voltage value Xv, the allowable range for the voltage value Yv, and the allowable range for the voltage value Zv are set including each of the magnetic changes when entering In addition, fraudulent acts can be detected without being affected by the respective magnetic changes of the special symbol start opening sensor 33 to the special winning opening sensor 38.
[11-4] Immediately before the main power supply is cut off Immediately before the pachinko hall employee cuts off the main power supply, the player is not playing a game, and the main control circuit 51 launches the sensor control circuit 77 as counter data MN3. A value (0) when each of the solenoid 21 to the stepping motor 44 is in the OFF state is transmitted, and the sensor control circuit 77 records (0) as the counter data MN3.
[11-5] About shutting off the main power supply When a pachinko hall employee shuts off the main power supply, the lens 115 of the remote controller 113 is brought into contact with the window 110 and the operation switch 114 of the remote controller 113 is operated. Then, each of the inner frame 2 and the front frame 6 is operated from the closed state to the opened state in the same procedure as when the main power is turned on, and the main power switch 68 is moved from the on position when the inner frame 2 is opened. By operating to the off position, each of the inner frame 2 and the front frame 6 is returned to the closed state. Next, the lens 115 of the remote controller 113 is brought into contact with the window 110 again, and the operation switch 114 of the remote controller 113 is operated again.

When the operation switch 114 of the remote controller 113 is operated for the first time, the sensor control circuit 77 detects the light reception signal from the light reception circuit 112 to set the processing stop flag to the on state, and the operation switch 114 of the remote controller 113. Is operated again, the sensor control circuit 77 detects the light reception signal from the light receiving circuit 112 again to set the processing stop flag to the OFF state. It is done in the on state. Therefore, the abnormality determination process of FIG. 56 is not executed during a series of operations for shutting off the main power supply, and therefore it is not determined that there is an abnormality based on the voltage signals from the X-axis MI sensor 70 to the Z-axis MI sensor 72.
[11-6] Main power supply shut-off state The sensor control circuit 77 detects a voltage signal from each of the X-axis MI sensor 70 to the Z-axis MI sensor 72 every time a predetermined time elapses, and converts the voltage value Xv into the X-axis. The detection result of the voltage signal from the MI sensor 70 is set, the detection result of the voltage signal from the Y axis MI sensor 71 is set to the voltage value Yv, and the detection result of the voltage signal from the Z axis MI sensor 72 is set to the voltage value Zv. Set. The sensor control circuit 77 detects (0) as the current value of the counter data MN3 when each of the voltage value Xv to the voltage value Zv is set, and sets it as the reference value X0 according to the value (0) of the counter data MN3. Each of the reference value Y0 and the reference value Z0 is selected. Then, an allowable range (X0−α to X0 + α) is set according to the reference value X0, an allowable range (Y0−β to Y0 + β) is set according to the reference value Y0, and an allowable range (Z0) according to the reference value Z0. -Γ to Z0 + γ), the setting result of the voltage value Xv is compared with an allowable range (X0-α to X0 + α) to determine whether there is an abnormality, and the setting result of the voltage value Yv is set to the allowable range (Y0-β To Y0 + β), the presence / absence of abnormality is determined, and the setting result of the voltage value Zv is compared with an allowable range (Z0−γ to Z0 + γ) to determine the presence / absence of abnormality. Therefore, when the inner frame 2 is operated to be opened in an attempt to tamper the ROM of the main control circuit 51 and when the main board box 50 is removed while the inner frame 2 is closed, the voltage value is different. The setting result of Xv deviates from the allowable range (X0-α to X0 + α) or the setting result of the voltage value Yv deviates from the allowable range (Y0-β to Y0 + β) or the setting result of the voltage value Zv is within the allowable range (Z0-γ to Departing from Z0 + γ), the buzzer 122 sounds. Therefore, when an illegal act is performed in a state where the main power is cut off, the illegal act can be detected with the same electrical component as in the state where the main power is turned on. Moreover, the setting result of the voltage value Xv deviates from the allowable range (X0−α to X0 + α) or the setting result of the voltage value Yv deviates from the allowable range (Y0−β to Y0 + β) or the setting result of the voltage value Zv is within the allowable range ( When deviating from Z0-γ to Z0 + γ), the value of the timer T is recorded as invalid data in the RAM of the sensor control circuit 77, so that the ROM of the main control circuit 51 is restored to its original state after being illegally tampered. Even in such a case, it is possible to detect that an illegal act has been performed by reading the RAM data of the sensor control circuit 77 to an external device.
