In this embodiment, the first special symbol display device 8a is realized by a simple and small display device (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0 to 9. In other words, the first special symbol display 8a is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9. A second special symbol display (second variation display means) 8b for variably displaying the second special symbol as the second identification information is provided above the first special symbol indicator 8a. The second special symbol display 8b is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0 to 9. In other words, the second special symbol display 8b is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9.

  In this embodiment, the type of the first special symbol and the type of the second special symbol are the same (for example, both 0 to 9), but the types may be different. In addition, the first special symbol display 8a and the second special symbol display 8b each variably display a number (or a two-digit symbol) of 00 to 99 using, for example, two 7-segment LEDs. It may be configured.

  Hereinafter, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol, and the first special symbol indicator 8a and the second special symbol indicator 8b may be collectively referred to as a special symbol indicator.

  The variation display of the first special symbol is a variation display start condition (for example, after the game ball has won the first start winning opening 13a) after the first start condition that is the execution condition of the variation display is established (for example, Start when the number of reserved memories is not 0, the first special symbol variation display is not executed, and the big hit game and the small hit game are not executed) When the fluctuation display time (fluctuation time) elapses, the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. In addition, the variation display of the second special symbol is a variation display start condition (for example, that the game ball has won the second start winning opening 13b) after the second start condition, which is the execution condition of the variation display, is established ( For example, based on the fact that the number of reserved memories is not 0, the second special symbol variation display is not executed, and the big hit game and the small hit game are not executed). When the fluctuation display time (fluctuation time) elapses, the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. Note that winning means that a game ball has entered a predetermined area such as a winning opening. Deriving and displaying the display result is to finally stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information).

  The effect display device 9 is for decoration (effect) during the variable display time of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and during the variable display time of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b. The display of the effect symbol (also referred to as the effect symbol) is performed as a symbol of The change display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the change display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Further, the variation display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b and the variation display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 9 are synchronized. Synchronous means that the start point and end point of variable display are substantially the same (may be exactly the same) and the period of variable display is substantially the same (may be exactly the same). Further, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a and when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 8b, the effect display device 9 reminds the jackpot The combination of is stopped and displayed.

  Below the effect display device 9, a winning device having a first start winning port 13a is provided. The game ball that has won the first start winning opening 13a is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the first start opening switch 14a.

  A variable winning ball device 15 having a second starting winning port 13b through which a game ball can be won is provided below the winning device having the first starting winning port (first starting port) 13a. The game ball that has won the second start winning opening (second start opening) 13b is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the second start opening switch 15a. The variable winning ball device 15 is opened by a solenoid 16. When the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the open state, the game ball can be won in the second start winning opening 13b (it is easy to start winning), which is advantageous for the player. In a state where the variable winning ball device 15 is in the open state, it is easier for the game ball to win the second starting winning port 13b than the first starting winning port 13a. In addition, in a state where the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, the game ball does not win the second start winning opening 13b. In the state where the variable winning ball device 15 is in the closed state, it may be configured that the winning is possible (that is, it is difficult for the gaming ball to win) although it is difficult to win a prize.

  Hereinafter, the first start winning opening 13a and the second start winning opening 13b may be collectively referred to as a start winning opening or a starting opening.

  When the variable winning ball device 15 is controlled to be in the open state, the game ball heading for the variable winning ball device 15 is very likely to win the second start winning port 13b. The first start winning opening 13a is provided directly below the effect display device 9, but the interval between the lower end of the effect display device 9 and the first start winning port 13a is further reduced, or the first start winning port is set. The winning rate of the second starting winning port 13b is such that the nails are densely arranged around 13a, or the nail arrangement around the first starting winning port 13a is difficult to guide the game ball to the first starting winning port 13a. You may make it make higher than the winning rate of the 1st start winning opening 13a.

  In the upper part of the second special symbol display 8b, the number of effective winning balls that have entered the first start winning opening 13a, that is, the first reserved memory number (the reserved memory is also referred to as the start memory or the start prize memory) is displayed. A first special symbol reserved memory display section and the first special symbol reserved memory display section are provided separately, and a second special special display for displaying the number of effective winning balls that have entered the second start winning slot 13b, that is, the second reserved memory number. For example, a special symbol storage memory display 18 including a 7 segment LED + 1 segment LED provided with a symbol reservation storage display unit is provided. The first special symbol reserved memory display unit displays up to four first reserved memory numbers in the order of winning, and increases the number of indicators that are turned on by 1 each time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the first special symbol display 8a is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one. The second special symbol reserved memory display unit displays up to four second reserved memory numbers in the order of winning, and increases the number of indicators that are turned on by 1 each time there is an effective start winning. And whenever the fluctuation | variation display by the 2nd special symbol display 8b is started, the number of the indicators to light is reduced by one. In this example, the upper limit number (up to 4) is provided for the start memory number by winning to the first start winning port 13a and the start memory number by winning to the second start winning port 13b. May be four or more.

  Further, the display screen of the effect display device 9 is provided with a first reserved memory display unit 9a for displaying the first reserved memory number and a second reserved memory display unit 9b for displaying the second reserved memory number. . In addition, you may make it provide the area | region (sum total pending | holding memory display part) which displays the total number (sum total pending memory count) which is the sum total of the 1st pending memory count and the 2nd pending memory count. As described above, if the summation pending storage display unit for displaying the total number is provided, it is possible to easily grasp the total number of execution conditions that have not met the variable display start condition.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, there is provided a variable winning ball device 15 that opens and closes only the second starting winning opening 13b. However, the first starting winning opening 13a and the second starting winning opening 13b are provided. A configuration in which a variable winning ball apparatus that performs an opening / closing operation may be provided for any of the winning openings 13b.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a special variable winning ball device 20 is provided below the variable winning ball device 15. The special variable winning ball apparatus 20 includes a big prize opening door, and when a specific display result (big hit symbol) is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display 8a, and on the second special symbol display 8b, a specific display result (big hit) In the specific game state (big win game state) that occurs when the symbol is derived and displayed, the solenoid 21 controls the open door of the big winning opening, so that the big winning opening that becomes the winning area is opened. The game ball that has won the big winning opening is detected by the count switch 23.

  Based on the detection of game balls by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) through the large winning opening which has been opened in the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, other game winning holes such as the first starting winning opening 13a and the second starting winning opening 13b are played. More prize balls are paid out than when the ball passes (enters). Therefore, if the special prize winning ball device 20 is in the open state in the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, the first state advantageous to the player is obtained. On the other hand, if the special prize winning device 20 is closed in the special variable prize winning ball device 20, the game ball cannot be passed through (entered) into the special prize opening to obtain a prize ball, which is disadvantageous for the player. It becomes a state.

  An ordinary symbol display 10 is provided on the left side of the first special symbol display 8a. The normal symbol display 10 is composed of, for example, two lamps. When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, the display variation of the normal symbol display 10 is started. In this embodiment, the upper and lower lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized at the time of lighting) are alternately turned on to perform the variable display. For example, if the lower lamp is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a hit. When the lamp on the lower side of the normal symbol display 10 is turned on and it is a win, the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a predetermined number of times. That is, the state of the variable winning ball device 15 is a state that is advantageous from a disadvantageous state for the player when the lower lamp is lit (a state in which a game ball can win the second start winning opening 13b). ). An upper part of the special symbol storage memory display 18 is provided with a normal symbol storage memory display 41 having four display portions (for example, four segments among seven segment LEDs) for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32. It has been. Each time there is a game ball passing through the gate 32, that is, every time a game ball is detected by the gate switch 32a, the normal symbol storage memory display 41 increases the number of display units to be turned on by one. Then, each time the variable display on the normal symbol display 10 is started, the number of display units that are lit is reduced by one.

  In addition, the normal symbol storage memory display 41 composed of 7-segment LEDs has four display units (segments) for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 32 and, for example, the number of times the special variable winning ball device 20 is opened at a big hit. There are two display units (segments) that indicate (the number of big hits) and two display units (segments) that indicate the gaming state, but these display units are separate from the normal symbol hold storage display unit. You may comprise. Further, the normal symbol display 10 may be configured by segment LEDs or the like capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  In the vicinity of the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, winning holes 29a to 29d of the normal winning apparatus are provided, and game balls that have won the winning holes 29a to 29d are detected by the winning hole switches 30a and 30b. Each of the winning holes 29a to 29d constitutes a winning area provided in the game board 6 as an area for accepting game balls and allowing winning. The first start winning opening 13a, the second start winning opening 13b, and the big winning opening also constitute a winning area that accepts game balls and allows winning.

  On the left side of the game area 7, there is provided a decoration member 25 having a decoration LED 25a that blinks and displays during the game, and there is an out port 26 for absorbing a game ball that has not won a prize. In addition, four speakers 27 that emit sound effects are provided on the left, right, top, and bottom of the outside of the game area 7. On the outer periphery of the game area 7, a top frame lamp 28a, a left frame lamp 28b, and a right frame lamp 28c are provided. The top frame lamp 28a, the left frame lamp 28b, the right frame lamp 28c, and the decoration LED 25a are examples of a decoration light emitter provided in the gaming machine.

  A game ball launched from a hitting ball launching device, which will be described later, by the player's operation enters the game area 7 through a shot ball guide passage (not shown), and then descends the game area 7. At this time, the game ball about to enter the right area of the game area from the upper end of the stage decorative frame 11 is, as described above, the right area by the ball stopper plate 6d provided at the upper end of the stage decorative frame 11. Invasion of the game board is prevented, and all game balls descend only the game area 7 formed on the left side of the game board 6. When the game ball enters the first start winning port 13a and is detected by the first start port switch 14a, the first special symbol variation display can be started (for example, the special symbol variation display ends, 1), the first special symbol display unit 8a starts the variable display (variation) of the first special symbol, and the effect display device 9 starts the variable display of the effect symbol (effect symbol). Is done. That is, the variable display of the first special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the first start winning opening 13a. If the variable display of the first special symbol cannot be started, the first reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  When the game ball enters the second start winning port 13b and is detected by the second start port switch 15a, if the variation display of the second special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, 2), the second special symbol display 8b starts the variable display (variation) of the second special symbol, and the effect display device 9 starts the variable display of the effect symbol (effect symbol). Is done. That is, the change display of the second special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the second start winning opening 13b. If the variable display of the second special symbol cannot be started, the second reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  The variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 8a and the variation display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 8b are stopped when a certain time has passed. If the special symbol at the time of stop (stop symbol) is a big hit symbol (specific display result), it will be “big hit”, and the special symbol at the time of stop (stop symbol) will be different from the big hit symbol (predetermined display result) Is “small hit”, and if the special symbol at the time of stoppage (stop symbol) is stopped and displayed, a special symbol different from the big hit symbol and the small hit symbol is “lost”.

  After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times. Further, after the change display result in the special figure game becomes “small hit”, the game is controlled to a small hit game state different from the big hit game state.

  In this embodiment, when a big hit symbol corresponding to “probable big hit” or “non-probable big big hit” is stopped and displayed in the special figure game, a big hit state as a specific gaming state (for example, 15 round big hit) State). In the big hit gaming state, the special winning prize opening device 20 opens the big winning opening for a predetermined period (for example, 29.5 seconds) or a period until a predetermined number (for example, eight) of winning balls are generated. By setting the state, the round in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is changed to the first state (open state) advantageous to the player is executed. In this way, the special prize opening door that has opened the special prize opening during the round is received by receiving a game ball falling in the game area 7 of the game board 6, and then the special prize opening is closed. The winning ball apparatus 20 is changed to the second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is completed. In the 15 round big hit state, the number of executions of the round, which is the opening cycle of the big prize opening, becomes the first round number (for example, “15”). A game in the 15 round big hit state in which the number of round executions is “15” is also referred to as a 15-time open game. In such a 15 round big hit state, every time a game ball wins a big winning opening, 15 balls (prize balls) are obtained.

  After the big hit state is ended based on the fact that the big hit symbol corresponding to “non-probable big hit” is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, the special figure game is compared with the normal state as one of the special gaming states. The time is controlled to be in a time-short state in which time-shortening control (time-shortening control) in which the variable symbol variable display time (special-figure varying time) is shortened is performed. Here, the normal state is a normal gaming state as a gaming state different from a specific gaming state such as a big hit gaming state, a probability variation state, and a short-time state, and an initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, a system reset is performed). As in the case where the initialization process is performed after the power is turned on, the same control is performed. In the short-time state, one of the conditions is established first when a special game (variable display) is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) and the variable display result is “big hit”. Sometimes it ends. The jackpot symbol corresponding to such a “non-probable big hit” is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, such as a special jackpot symbol corresponding to the fact that it is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game. The jackpot symbol that is controlled to the short-time state after the jackpot state is terminated is called a non-probable variable jackpot symbol (also referred to as “normal jackpot symbol”). Further, the fact that the non-probable variable big hit symbol among the big hit symbols is stopped and displayed and the variable display result becomes “big hit” is called “non-probable big hit” (also referred to as “normal big hit”).

  After the big hit state is ended based on the fact that the big win symbol corresponding to “probable big hit” is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, as one of the special game states different from the short-time state, for example, to the normal state In comparison with the time-shortening control in which the special figure variation time is shortened, the probability variation state (high probability state) in which the probability variation control (probability variation control) is continuously performed is controlled. In this probabilistic state, the variable display result of each special figure game and decorative design is improved so that the probability that the variable display result will be “big hit” and further controlled to the big hit gaming state will be higher than in the normal state and the short-time state. To do. Such a probability change state continues until the next variable display result is a “big hit”, regardless of the number of executions of the special game. Like the jackpot symbol corresponding to such “probable variation jackpot”, the jackpot symbol controlled to the probability variation state after the first jackpot state based on being stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game is the probability variation jackpot symbol. It is called.

  In the probabilistic state and the short time state, the normal symbol display unit 10 controls the normal symbol in the normal symbol game so that the variation time of the normal symbol (ordinary symbol variation time) is shorter than that in the normal state. Control to improve the probability that the display result is “per normal figure” than in the normal state, and tilt control of the movable blade piece in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 based on the fact that the variable display result is “per normal figure”. The game ball can easily pass (enter) the second start winning opening 13b, such as control for making the tilt control time to be performed longer than that in the normal state, and control for increasing the number of tilts than in the normal state. Control that is advantageous to the player is performed by increasing the possibility that the start condition is satisfied. It should be noted that any one of these controls may be performed in the probability variation state or the short time state, or a plurality of controls may be performed in combination. As described above, the control that facilitates the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening 13b in the probability change state or the short time state is also referred to as high release control. When the high opening control is performed, the frequency at which the second start winning opening 13b is in the expanded opening state is higher than when the high opening control is not performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 8b is easily established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently. In addition, the time until the variable display result becomes “big hit” is shortened. Therefore, in the probability variation state and the short time state, it becomes easier to enter the big hit gaming state than in the normal state. The period during which the high opening control can be executed is also referred to as a high opening control period, and this period may be the same as the period during which the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to either the certain change state or the short-time state. . Further, it is also said that the gaming state is in the high base during the high opening control period. On the other hand, when it is not the high opening control period, it is said that the gaming state is in the low base. The short-time state in this embodiment is a gaming state also referred to as a low-probability high-base state, and the normal state is a gaming state also referred to as a low-probability low-base state, which is a probabilistic state that is not a high release control period. The latent probability changing state is a gaming state also called a high probability low base state.

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas provided in the effect display device 9, a special symbol game using the first special symbol and the second special symbol in the first special symbol display 8a. Corresponding to the start of one of the special figure games using the second special figure on the display 8b, the production symbol variation display (variation display) is started. In the period from the start of the variation display of the effect symbol to the end of the variation display due to the stop display of the confirmed effect symbol in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas, The variable display state may be a predetermined reach state. Here, the reach state refers to an effect design (“reach” that is not yet displayed as a temporary stop when the effect design temporarily displayed in the display area of the effect display device 9 forms part of the jackpot combination. "Varying symbols" refers to the display state in which the variation continues, or the display state in which all or part of the design symbol is changing synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. is there. Specifically, a part of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas (eg, “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas) constitutes a predetermined jackpot combination. In the remaining effect symbol display area (for example, “medium” effect symbol display area, etc.) that has not yet been temporarily stopped when the effect symbol (for example, an effect symbol indicating “7” alphanumeric characters) is temporarily stopped. The display state in which the effect symbol is fluctuating, or the effect symbol synchronizes with all or part of the effect symbol display area of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination The display state is changing.

Further, a replaceable fuse is provided inside the power switch (inside the substrate).

  In this embodiment, the main board 31 is provided on the game board side, and the payout control board 37 is provided on the game frame side. Even in such a configuration, as will be described later, the communication between the main board 31 and the payout control board 37 is performed by serial communication, thereby facilitating the routing of the wiring when replacing the game board. .

  Each control board is equipped with control means including a control microcomputer. The control means is an electrical component (game device: ball payout device 97, effect display device 9, light emission from a lamp, LED, etc.) provided in the gaming machine according to a command signal (control signal) as a command from the game control means or the like. Body, speaker 27, etc.). Hereinafter, the main board 31 may be included in the control board for explanation. In that case, the control means mounted on the control board refers to each of the game control means and the means for controlling the electrical components provided in the gaming machine in accordance with a command signal from the game control means or the like. A substrate on which a microcomputer other than the main substrate 31 is mounted may be referred to as a sub-substrate.

A payout number counting switch for counting prize balls and rental balls is also configured as part of the unit. In this embodiment, the payout detection means is realized by a payout number count switch, and has a function of detecting that a winning ball or a lending ball is actually paid out from the ball payout device 97. In this case, the payout number count switch outputs a detection signal every time one payout of prize balls or rental balls is detected.

  On the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1, a terminal board 91 having terminals for outputting various information to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is installed. The terminal board 91 includes, for example, information output signals such as jackpot information indicating the occurrence of a jackpot gaming state (start signal, symbol determination frequency 1 signal, jackpot 1 signal, jackpot 2 signal, jackpot 3 signal, time reduction signal, security An information output terminal for externally outputting signals, prize ball signals 1, gaming machine error status signals) is provided. It should be noted that the gaming machine error status signal does not necessarily have to be output to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and a door indicating that the gaming frame is open from the information output terminal instead of the gaming machine error status signal. An open signal or the like may be output.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the circuit configuration of the main board (game control board) 31. 2 also shows the payout control board 37, the effect control board 80, and the like. A game control microcomputer (corresponding to game control means) 156 for controlling the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to a program is mounted on the main board 31. The game control microcomputer 156 includes a ROM 54 for storing a game control (game progress control) program and the like, a RAM 55 as storage means used as a work memory, a CPU 56 for performing control operations in accordance with the program, and an I / O port unit 57. including. In this embodiment, the ROM 54 and the RAM 55 are built in the game control microcomputer 156. That is, the game control microcomputer 156 is a one-chip microcomputer. The one-chip microcomputer only needs to include at least the RAM 55, and the ROM 54 may be external or internal. The I / O port unit 57 may be externally attached. The game control microcomputer 156 further includes a random number circuit 60 that generates hardware random numbers (random numbers generated by the hardware circuit).

  In the game control microcomputer 156, the CPU 56 executes control in accordance with the program stored in the ROM 54, so that the game control microcomputer 156 (or CPU 56) executes (or performs processing) hereinafter. Specifically, the CPU 56 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 31.

  The game control microcomputer 156 includes a random number circuit 60. The random number circuit 60 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on the display result of the special symbol variation display. The random number circuit 60 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and starts at a random timing Based on the fact that the winning time is the reading (extraction) of the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the numerical data to be read becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 60 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on the display result of the special symbol variation display. The random number circuit 60 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and starts at a random timing Based on the fact that the winning time is the reading (extraction) of the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the numerical data to be read becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 60 is configured to select a numeric data update range selection setting function (initial value selection setting function and upper limit selection selection function), numeric data update rule selection setting function, and numeric data update rule selection. It has various functions such as a switching function. With such a function, the randomness of the generated random numbers can be improved.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 156 has a function of setting an initial value of numerical data updated by the random number circuit 60. For example, a predetermined calculation is performed using an ID number of the game control microcomputer 156 stored in a predetermined storage area such as the ROM 54 (an ID number assigned with a different value for each product of the game control microcomputer 156). The numerical data obtained by the setting is set as the initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 60. By performing such processing, the randomness of the random number generated by the random number circuit 60 can be further improved.

  The game control microcomputer 156 reads the numerical data as random R from the random number circuit 60 when the start winning to the first start port switch 14a or the second start port switch 15a occurs, and starts to change the special symbol and the effect symbol Sometimes it is determined whether or not to make a big hit display result as a specific display result based on the random R, that is, whether or not to make a big hit. Then, when it is determined to be a big hit, the gaming state is shifted to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player.

  Also, the game control microcomputer 156 has a serial communication circuit 61 for inputting / outputting (transmitting / receiving) signals to / from the payout control board 37 (the payout control microcomputer) and the effect control board 80 (the CPU 120) by serial communication. Is built-in. Note that the payout control microcomputer and CPU 120 also have a serial communication circuit (not shown) for inputting and outputting signals to and from the game control microcomputer 156 through serial communication.

  The RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means, part or all of which is backed up by a backup power supply created on the power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 55 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied). In particular, at least data corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means (such as the value of the special symbol process flag and the pending storage number counter) and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls (specifically, prize balls described later) The value of the command output counter) is stored in the backup RAM. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like occurs. Further, data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the entire RAM 55 is backed up.

  A reset signal from the power supply board is input to the reset terminal of the game control microcomputer 156. A reset circuit for generating a reset signal supplied to the game control microcomputer 156 and the like is mounted on the power supply board. When the reset signal becomes high level, the game control microcomputer 156 and the like become operable, and when the reset signal becomes low level, the game control microcomputer 156 and the like become inoperative. Therefore, an allowable signal that allows the operation of the game control microcomputer 156 or the like is output during a period in which the reset signal is at a high level, and a game control microcomputer in which the reset signal is at a low level. An operation stop signal for stopping the operation of 156 or the like is output. Note that the reset circuit may be mounted on each electric component control board (a board on which a microcomputer for controlling the electric parts is mounted).

  Further, a power-off signal indicating that the power supply voltage from the power supply board has dropped below a predetermined value is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 156. That is, the power supply board monitors the voltage value of a predetermined voltage (for example, DC30V or DC5V) used in the gaming machine, and when the voltage value decreases to a predetermined value (the power supply voltage is reduced). A power supply monitoring circuit that outputs a power-off signal indicating that). Instead of mounting the power monitoring circuit on the power supply board, it may be mounted on a board that is backed up by a backup power supply (for example, the main board 31). Further, a clear signal indicating that the clear switch for instructing to clear the contents of the RAM is operated is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 156.

  Further, an input driver circuit 58 for providing the basic circuit with detection signals from the gate switch 32a, the first start port switch 14a, the second start port switch 15a, the count switch 23 and the winning port switches 30a and 30b is also mounted on the main board 31. A solenoid 16 for opening and closing the variable winning ball apparatus 15, a solenoid 21 for opening and closing the special variable winning ball apparatus 20, and an output circuit 59 driven in accordance with a command from the basic circuit are also mounted on the main board 31, and game control is performed when the power is turned on. A system reset circuit (not shown) for resetting the microcomputer 156 for the game, and an information output signal such as jackpot information indicating the occurrence of the jackpot gaming state to an external device such as a hall computer via the terminal board 91 The information output circuit 64 that outputs the information is also mounted on the main board 31.

  In this embodiment, the effect control means (configured by the CPU 120) mounted on the effect control board 80 receives an effect control command for instructing the effect contents from the game control microcomputer 156 via the relay board 77. And display control with the production | presentation display apparatus 9 which carries out the variable display of the production | presentation symbol is performed.

  The effect control board 80 is mounted with a CPU 120 (not shown) including a CPU 120 and a RAM (not shown). The RAM may be externally attached. In the effect control board 80, the CPU 120 operates in accordance with a program stored in a built-in or external ROM (not shown), and receives a signal (effect control INT signal) from the main board 31 input via the relay board 77. ), The presentation control command is received via the input driver and the input port. Further, the CPU 120 causes the VDP (video display processor) to perform display control of the effect display device 9 based on the effect control command.

  CPU 120 reads necessary data from a character ROM (not shown) in accordance with the received effect control command. The character ROM is for storing character image data displayed on the effect display device 9, specifically, a person, characters, figures, symbols, etc. (including effect symbols) in advance. CPU 120 outputs data read from character ROM to VDP. The VDP performs display control based on data input from the CPU 120.

  The effect control command and the effect control INT signal are first input to the input driver on the effect control board 80. The input driver allows the signal input from the relay board 77 to pass only in the direction toward the inside of the effect control board 80 (does not pass the signal in the direction from the inside of the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). It is also a unidirectional circuit as a means.

  As a signal direction regulating means, the signal inputted from the main board 31 is allowed to pass through the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the effect control board 80 (the signal is not passed in the direction from the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). A unidirectional circuit (not shown) is mounted. For example, a diode or a transistor is used as the unidirectional circuit. Furthermore, since the production control command and the production control INT signal are output from the main board 31 via the I / O port unit which is a unidirectional circuit, the signal going from the relay board 77 to the inside of the main board 31 is restricted. . That is, the signal from the relay board 77 does not enter the inside of the main board 31 (the game control microcomputer 156 side).

  Further, the CPU 120 outputs a signal for driving various LEDs including the effect diode (effect LED) 390 to the lamp driver board 35 via an output port (not shown). Also, the sound number data is output to the voice control board 70 via the output port.

  In the lamp driver board 35, a signal for driving the LED is input to the LED driver via an input driver (not shown). The LED driver supplies a drive signal to each LED provided on the frame side such as the top frame LED 28a, the left frame LED 28b, and the right frame LED 28c. Further, a drive signal is supplied to the decoration LED 25a provided on the game board side. When a light emitter other than the LED is provided, a drive circuit (driver) for driving the light emitter is mounted on the lamp driver substrate 35.

  In the voice control board 70, the sound number data is input to a voice synthesis IC (not shown) via an input driver (not shown). The voice synthesizing IC generates voice and sound effects corresponding to the sound number data and outputs them to an amplifier circuit (not shown). The amplifier circuit outputs to the speaker 27 an audio signal obtained by amplifying the output level of the voice synthesis IC to a level corresponding to the volume set by the volume. Control data corresponding to sound number data is stored in a sound data ROM (not shown). The control data corresponding to the sound number data is a collection of data showing the output form of the sound effect or sound in a time series in a predetermined period (for example, the changing period of the effect design).
